Chapter 2: Going Under
Soon the Titans were set and ready to go. Well...physically they were ready to go, but inside they felt like they were going to die of nerves. Their insides were more or less like jelly and tied in tight knots.
"Titans remember where you're going and what your mission is, when we get close to our targets we will slow down and go slower, seek cover, and whatever you do Titans, do not get hit. We are unaware of what their machinery may be capable of. For all we know they may be able to destroy us in a single shot. I'm going to contact the Titans-East and get a good idea of where our enemy is."
The Titans nodded slightly in reply as their hearts began to race. Robin opened his communicator and knocked his microphone off.
"Come in Aqualad." He said, waiting patiently for Aqualad to respond. Soon the boy's face appeared on the screen. He was in among a lot of seaweed that reached above his head.
"Aqualad here." He replied, his voice as low as he could get it.
"We need to get an idea of where the enemy is, we can't help you otherwise,"
Aqualad nodded; slowly his communicator went up to reveal ships of all sizes, each and every one baring heavy machinery. Robin estimated there was about twenty of them all together. Zynothium tanks were piled near the gate way, large computer screens fixed to the large walls showing any activity inside the building.
He began to turn it a little at a time to show him elsewhere. There was plenty of long seaweed around the HQ and there were only guards at the front, he supposed that the back was also under surveillance. But luckily the right hand side was not being guarded.
That was their golden opportunity. Right there.
"That'll be fine Aqualad. Thanks." Said Robin.
Aqualad nodded and brought his communicator to face him. Robin now had a very clear idea of how their plan was going to work.
He switched his microphone back on and spoke to his anxious friends.
"Titans, I've spoken to Aqualad, the front of the building is under surveillance, and I'm presuming the back is too, we're going to go round the side, from what I've seen the seaweed is long, our compartments will be an ideal size to get round there without being spotted. You all know what to do next. Star, Cy, remember we're on the left hand side and Raven Beast Boy are on the right."
They each took a deep breath and nodded slowly.
"Ready Titans? Let's go." Said Robin, leading the Titans to their destination.
They all inserted their maps and took one last look around before following their leader to help the other Titans.
---
Slowly they approached the large underwater building, seaweed high above the tops of their ships. Every Titan looked around for any sign of the Titans-East.
"Titans take your positions, quickly now…Raven, Beast Boy, remember what to do. Good luck Titans." Whispered Robin, steering his compartment of the ship towards the left hand side of the villains HQ.
He soon spotted Cyborg and Starfire in front of him, driving extremely slow in order to avoid being seen. Robin concentrated on doing the same.
Raven and Beast Boy finally made it to the other side, keeping one eye on the many machines floating about. They scanned the area they were now in—no security cameras.
They both gave a sigh of relief. God knows what could have happened if they were spotted on camera.
Raven looked over to Beast Boy's ship, he looked over to her. She motioned him to wait just a minute before firing. She was sure that the others would need a bit of time to get to their side before the distraction was required.
"Raven calling Robin." She muttered into her communicator.
"Robin here." Robin replied, his voice as quiet and faint as possible.
"Tell us when, we don't want to fire too early or anything…"
"Right…I'll call Aqualad, make sure he's familiar with the programme, you call Beast Boy, and tell him I'll tell you when to fire."
"Okay…"
And with that, Raven followed her orders and told Beast Boy what Robin had told her to tell him.
"Robin calling Aqualad."
"Here."
"Aqualad, Raven and Beast Boy are going to provide a distraction for you, they're going to fire at them, quickly move, which gives you all a chance to strike, them me Star and Cy will strike as well. We're going to try and keep moving as much as we can. We've never faced these guys before; we don't know what we're up against."
Robin paused for a second.
"Do you understand what you're doing?"
"Yes." He replied, looking down for a mere second. "I'll tell the rest of the team, I'll call you back when everyone's informed."
"Okay." Robin said.
In less than a minute Aqualad called back.
"We're ready."
Robin nodded and ended the conversation. He could feel his heart pounding against his chest; taking a deep breath he tried to steady his breathing.
'You can do this Robin; have faith in your friends. We'll pull through. We'll do this. We can beat these guys.' He told himself.
Swallowing hard he whispered into his communicator:
"Come in Raven and Beast Boy."
Beast Boy and Raven appeared on the screen. Robin looked at their faces; they were full of fear and anxiousness. He hadn't seen them like that in a long time.
"It's time…"
Beast Boy closed his eyes for a couple of seconds; Raven looked towards the roof of the compartment as if saying a silent prayer. After a moment of calming themselves down, they finally nodded and closed their communicators.
They looked at each other through their windows. Raven nodded. They took aim, and opened fire at the deadly machines.
Missile by missile they prayed that it would do the tiniest bit of damage. The missiles ran out and the dust slowly began to clear.
Raven gasped. Beast Boy sat in his seat, wide-eyed and gaping.
All of the machines had turned round to face the two Titans, no damage done as if they had predicted the attack.
Raven and Beast Boy were motionless, they both sat there, awe-struck.
Suddenly explosions came from the seaweed to their left. Raven and Beast Boy were brought out of their shocked trance. The Titans-East were attacking.
Then more explosions. Robin's crew were also attacking.
Ravens came to her senses and began to move around as soon as the machines were firing back; Beast Boy soon followed her suite.
Missiles and bullets were flying in every direction, the under water layer had just turned into a battle zone.
The Titans were frantic, dodging machine fire left and right; guns were heard where ever they turned.
Saying they were scared would be an understatement. They were terrified.
Beast Boy dodged another bullet heading his way, he had never been so thankful that things travel slower in water in his entire life. Then another one came, a little bit too fast for the green teenager to avoid. It hit the front of the ship causing a large dent to appear. He yelped in surprise, but had to quickly recover seeing a few machines turn towards him.
Raven was shaking with frustration. There were far too many machines for her to handle, she had even had to put up one of her telekinetic shields to protect herself.
Another three machines turned round and fired towards Raven and opened fire on her.
"You've got to be kidding me!" She shouted, blocking more bullets with her shield.
"Raven calling…anyone! I need backup and quick."
"On my way Rae!" Said Beast Boy's voice.
He headed to the mound of machines surrounding Raven as fast as his ship would take him.
Beast Boy's eyes began to grow wider as he realized just how many machines were there.
"Crud…" squeaked Beast Boy as half of the enemy, or what seemed like half, turned to face him.
'Do something!' His mind screamed.
He shook his head and fired at the robotic villains.
After about three seconds they began to retaliate, firing back twice as hard.
Beast Boy gasped.
Robin looked round to see his friend about to get bombarded. He flipped open his communicator.
"Beast Boy look out!" He boomed.
Beast Boy didn't need to be told twice. He ducked the ship down, bullets only missing him by inches.
He sighed in relief and kept moving—he couldn't afford to be hit now.
He seemed to be getting closer to the clan of robots, but it made sense in a logical sort of way—at least if he was nearer the bullets would cause more damage and pack a harder punch.
Then he heard a piercing scream…a scream he certainly recognized…Raven.
"Rae! Come in Raven! Are you okay?" Screamed Beast Boy, shaking more than ever.
It seemed that the other Titans had also had the same idea. They were all calling Raven, trying their best to find out if she was okay.
Starfire was on the verge of crying. Raven wasn't answering.
Robin was panicking like there was no tomorrow, was she hurt?
Cyborg was almost dying of nerves, he was dodging bullet and also trying to see if his friend was still conscious—he was sure to have a break down sooner or later.
Beast Boy couldn't take it anymore. He charged into the mass of machines, trying not to get his ship too damaged in the process. She had to be here somewhere.
Then he saw her compartment, her head was against the back of her seat and her eyes were closed, he got his ship in front of hers as fast as he could, trying to get a better look at her—was she conscious?
Then something caught his eye. A machine at the other side of Raven's compartment was building up some sort of purple energy…and lots of it.
Beast Boy's eyes widened. He wanted to get out of there. He wanted to swim as far away as he could. But he couldn't just leave Raven there; he'd never forgive himself if he did.
Then his entire life flashed before his eyes…
He heard his friend's screams…
And then darkness…
Ooooooohhhh what a lovely cliffhanger! Didja all enjoy chapter 2? Yes? Awesome! No? …WHAT?
Well if you enjoyed it or spotted any mistakes please please please please review! I need feedback so I can improve.
In the next chapter we find out—uh-oh! You thought I was gonna tell ya didn't you? Yes? HA! No? Dang you know me too well…
Thank you once again to the reviews of the last chapter, I really appreciate it. And I've just went over the first chapter and realized there are a TON of spelling mistakes and grammar faults.
I hope this chapter isn't anywhere near as bad—sorry if you weren't pleased with the faults or thought it made the story harder to read, I will try and make my grammar better, I promise.
BUT I do have a good excuse for all the mistakes, well, I've got this new lap top and I had to wait a while before it got Microsoft word, so I decided to use Word pad instead which didn't tell me when I spelled something wrong or if there was an error. So sorry once again…
R&R!
