Welcome back to the story.
I'm OmegaHulk2010.
And of course, Jusenalky11 is here too, readers!
Now let's cut this short and begin the chapter.
Would you post the Disclaimer Jusenalky11?
Sure! Although you know that it's kind of repetitive, stupid, and boring.
Well anyway, we don't own Naruto, Kid Icarus, Castlevania, Teen Titans, or anything else that may be referred in this story... do you want some chocolate?
(Chapter Begin)
(Scene Change: Titans Tower: Kitchen)
"Why don't you eat the eggs, Naruto?" asked Starfire, a bit nervous, as she tried to put the fork into the boy's mouth, while he kept his face away.
"Mmm-mmm." Naruto grunted as he turned his head again, dodging another attempt.
Raven, who was reading her book, looked up and said "If you don't eat your eggs now, you won't get any ramen later."
Naruto paled and went to cling to the mage's legs and begged "NO! DON'T STEAL MY RAMEN, PLEASE!"
"Just eat your breakfast Naruto. It's not hard." Raven said as she brought her book back up.
Naruto just pouted and went back into the table; he then began eating the cereal that was there.
Beastboy, who had moved to get some milk, returned to the table to see Naruto eating his cereal.
"Dude, why are you eating my Tofu-O's?!" He asked/shouted as he waved his arms around.
Naruto heard that and spit the content from his mouth.
As the boy tried to wipe his mouth clean Cyborg offered him some juice, which he drank with gusto.
"BB, how many times do I have to tell you not leave your food unattended? Or do you need another pranking?" Cyborg asked the shape-shiftier.
"Hey, he was the one who took my Tofu-Os!" shouted Beastboy.
Starfire, who had been called into the kitchen by Rachel, walked up and gave Naruto a bowl of fresh ramen.
"Here you are Naruto, I hope you like it." She said.
Once Naruto saw the bowl he was at the table with a pair of chopsticks.
Upon tasting the noodles his eyes widened with sparkles as he asked "Wow auntie Star! Where did you get this?!"
"Friend Rachel taught me how." Starfire said with a smile.
Rachel on the other hand had given Cyborg a large stack of pancakes and was heating up some tea.
Pouring two cups, she offered one to Raven.
"Tea?" she asked.
"Thank you." Raven replied, taking the cup.
"Auntie Raven, can I try some?" asked Naruto.
"Would you like some juice instead?" Rachel offered.
He looked at her aunt smiling, taking the cup of juice from her hand.
(Scene Change: Mid. Afternoon)
"Friends, what do you say to a "Home Movie" night?" Starfire asked the group.
"I don't think so," said Blackfire, wearing Starfire's clothes "Tonight, there's going to be a dance club, with a great crowd, and hot music!" she said in a tempting voice.
Then she added with a smirk "And it's going to be in this creepy warehouse."
At the offer the guys had agreed with Blackfire, Raven only looked up when she mentioned a creepy warehouse.
As the other Titans made their exit Blackfire turned and said "I hope you don't mind me borrowing your clothes." before she left.
"What are sisters for?" Starfire said with a hint of sadness.
"We can stay and have a home movie night Auntie." Naruto offered.
"It's alright, let's go to this "dance club" and enjoy ourselves." Starfire said as she Rachel and Naruto moved to follow the other Titans.
(Scene Change: Night Club Warehouse)
As they arrived to the club, a lot of people was already there dancing.
Blackfire started to push some people to the side, saying loudly "Step aside, earthlings, the Queen of the Galaxy is here!"
The others just followed her lead.
Although Starfire had some trouble until Rachel made it easier for her.
(Time Skip: Some time later)
Everyone had found something to do.
The boys and Blackfire danced and Raven was in a dark corner engaging in a conversation with Gabriel who she had found a few minutes after she began looking for a dark corner.
As for Starfire, she was on the roof alone as Rachel had taken Naruto back home.
A white flash appears next to the tamaranian, startling her.
She relaxed after seeing that it was Jusen.
He smiled, before she saw her face "Hey, Starfire, what's the problem?"
The orange skinned girl just sighed sadly.
"Friend Jusen, this is horrible. My sister is everything that I am not. She is popular, cool, and highly regarded, while I'm just something they laugh at. What is the matter about me?"
The white-haired male had a knowing smile" Tch, you know that's idiocy, right?"
Starfire's eyes widened.
"While you're exaggerated about your ways of being, that's what makes you unique! Listen to what I say "Being unique is cooler than being cool"."
He then added: "What movie were you thinking about watching? Just no Unicorns please."
She was taken aback by his statement, before she smiled broadly.
"Thanks friend Jusen, you're really amazing."
He just gave a laugh: "Heheh, it was nothing! Now, let's go, it's playing "Excision & Downlink" from Existence VIP! That's my music!"
Before the tamaranian could respond a pink tentacle grabbed her as another tentacle knocked Jusen away.
"What the," Robin started as he saw another squid like the previous through the window, "Titans, Trouble!"
Cyborg, Raven, and BB heard him and rushed to the roof, where they saw Starfire being gripped by one of the squid's pink tentacles, while Jusen was defending himself from the ones at him swinging a giant club made of a black stone slab.
"Not again." Gabriel muttered under his breath as he created another whip and attempted to wrap the squid only for it to dodge and try to tackle him only for Gabriel to dodge in return.
"These things have gotten better Jusen." He called out as he began dodging more attacks.
"You Don't Say!" shouted the mentioned male, as he now was trying to shoot the tentacles with multiple green bullets from an equally colored blade with what looked like typical indigenous decoration, feather hat and all.
"It looks like they have been taking steroids as for the Olympics waaaaay early! WOAH!" He jumped just in time as another tentacle was ready to smash him into the pavement.
It was then that a purple blur hit the first squid making it fall over. Bouncing off the first squid the blur hit the second squid making it fall and release Starfire.
However, when Starfire was released, she fell into a trash can.
The blur rushed to her, and asked: "Sis, are you ok?"
Starfire felt a bit groggy: "Sister Blackfire?"
The other Titans rushed to her, and started to exclaim: "Wow! Blackfire, that was amazing!"
Eventually, Starfire left her spot, with some garbage on her outfit.
"I guess I was lucky." Blackfire said as she scratched the back of her head.
"We could use luck like that on our team." Beastboy said.
"How would you like to be a titan?" Robin asked much to Starfire's shock.
With a sad look in her eyes, the orange skinned girl left the area to her companion Titans.
Jusen was in a hidden corner, thinking: 'Blackfire handled them too easily to be luck or skill...' His eyes widened in realization: 'Maybe she distracted them with cakes to fake it all!'
He then vanished in an unnoticeable flash.
(Scene Change: Jump City Park)
Starfire was walking aimlessly, her eyes down on the road. Again, she was ignored in favor of her own sister. And she was too helpless to do something. She sat down in one of the benches in the park. A few moments later, a figure was seen strolling towards her.
She then recognized Jusen's smiling face, and smiled sadly "Hello again, Friend Jusen. What brings you here?"
He sat down next to Starfire and looked at her "Well, I usually walk around to help my mind."
The tamaranian was confused: "What do you mean?"
The white-haired male's face then contorted to a sad expression "About 8 years ago, I lived in a small town. But one day, soldiers appeared and began to raid our homes and set them on fire, killing people mercilessly, regardless of age... A friend of mine and I tried to escape them. We couldn't fight them. We were just children."
As he was explaining, his eyes began to glaze over as he remembered his memories with anguish –
Flashback -
"Solya, you need to hurry! Come on!" shouted an 7 year old Jusen in to his friend with heterochromatic green and blue eyes, long red hair with blonde and white streaks covered with dirt as they were running silently through the street.
"Wait, Jusen! I can't run much longer!" Solya panted as she began to slow down from exhaustion.
He then picked her up as well as he could with his small arms, and kept on running, even though he was winded from the chase.
However, the soldiers spotted them and yelled "YOU TWO, FREEZE!"
The children duo panicked and Jusen rushed towards the gates. One of the soldiers shot, and the bullet hit Jusen's leg. Screaming he fell down and dropped Solya in the process.
She knew it was their doom, but Solya would fight for both of them. The soldiers ran towards them Solya stood up and picked up a stick to defend against them, all the while a calm smile was on her face.
BANG!
That horrible sound was heard again, and the girl fell down next to the white haired boy.
Solya was crying, and yet she was still smiling. With blood leaking from her mouth Jusen feared the worst as he shed tears of his own.
She then tried to touch him as she said
"I love you, Jusen..."
Before her eyes shut and her breathing stopped.
Jusen's eyes were wide open in shock and horror as soldiers had moved to him while one pointed their gun and said "Now for the last one."
The boy then blacked out, and when he woke up, all that was left was a smoldering crater around him, and the dead girl next to him.
The boy couldn't take any more as he broke down crying in helplessness, anguish, and most of all, lost love.
'I'm sorry, Solya, if i didn't love you, none of this would happen, ever.'
- Flashback End
(Scene Shift: With Gabriel and the Titans)
Gabriel, seeing through Blackfire's ruse, had followed the titans to find what she was hiding.
However both Gabriel and Raven, being empaths, had stopped and turned to look in the direction of where Jusen and Starfire were.
"Such pain." Gabriel murmured.
"Is that...?" Raven asked, her voice barely a whisper.
"Jusen? Yes." Gabriel answered.
"But... How?" she wondered.
"Truth be told, I don't know. Despite all of my power I never pried into Jusen's mind. But to feel such pain at such a magnitude..." Gabriel trailed off; not wanting to know what could have caused Jusen so much sorrow.
(Scene Return: With Jusen and Starfire)
The white-haired male was now clutching his head. He began to quiver, as tears began to fall, his eyes hidden by his hair.
"I was so helpless, and I couldn't do anything for her... Why couldn't I be strong for her? Why couldn't I protect her? Why was I such a burden on her?"
Sobs could now be heard.
Starfire, seeing him in such a state, did the first thing that came to her mind: hug him.
She embraced him, and while Jusen was shocked about it for a moment, he accepted and returned it before he cried on her shoulder.
After a few minutes they released each other before Starfire asked "I'm sorry for what happened, but now you are here, with us. I'm sure Solya would like to see you happy on your future; and I will help. And as such, could I be your sister, friend Jusen?"
He looked at the orange skinned girl before he smiled, his eyes slightly red and puffy from the tears "Sure thing, sis."
But before either of them could do anything a squid rammed itself into Jusen and into the ground while another wrapped Starfire tightly and sped off.
Rachel, who had returned from the castle, saw Jusen rammed into the ground and began shooting at it in an attempt to get it off him.
Upon being hit, it was forced back, releasing Jusen from his makeshift prison.
Equipping a white arm cannon with teal coverings, Jusen joined Rachel and together, they effectively turned the squid into scrap.
Once that was over, he said "If I see any of those squids again, I'll show them the true Space Mollusk King."
Rachel then shouted to him "Jusen, go get Gabriel, Now! I'll find Starfire!"
"I'm on it!" He replied.
He then rushed off, not noticing the green jewel that was still in his pocket.
(Scene Change: Titans Tower)
"Well I'm gonna hit the hay. G'Night, everybody." Blackfire said as she exited the living room.
Robin nodded before looking around and woridly asking "Wait, what happened to Starfire and Jusen?"
It was then that Jusen busted through a window and shouted "ANOTHER SQUID GOT STAR!"
Robin face-palmed and said "How could we be so careless?"
Slapping the boy's shoulder Gabriel shouted "LESS TALKING, MORE SAVING!"
"Your right, TITANS GO!" Robin said as he the other titans and Jusen Exited out the window.
Gabriel on the other hand made his way to Blackfire's room.
Opening the door he saw the tamaranian opening her window.
"Going somewhere?" Gabriel accused, making her 'meep' and shoot at him before flying out the window.
Deflecting the shot Gabriel quickly gave chase.
(Scene Change: With the Titans and Jusen)
As they rushed to their appointed direction, they saw a red space ship being held by Rachel, as she was stopping them from take off.
Jusen just grinned and said "Everybody stand back, now it's my turn!"
Hovering in the air he shouted "Arise from your beds in the depths of the sea, GALACTIC FIEND KRAKEN!"
Then, from a swirl in the ocean, a gigantic kraken with red planet rock like skin surged out, its maw giving a shattering roar as its tentacles gripped the space ship and effectively grounded it.
Rachel had freed Starfire and the two of them reunited with their friends.
But before they could reminisce two red armored aliens walked up to them.
"Titans, get ready." Robin said, causing the others to enter their battle stances.
"In the name of the grand Centari Empire, you are all under arrest." The leader said, pulling out a badge.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!" exclaimed Jusen, surprised. "What is exactly happening here?"
"The tamaranian in your group is a dangerous criminal, wanted by the Great Centari Counsel."
"But I have never been to the Centari Moons." Starfire said.
Noticing the necklace she was wearing Robin took it off and said "But I think I know who has." making Starfire gasp in realization.
Turning to the titans he asked "Where's Blackfire?"
"Uh... Dude..." Beastboy said, pointing to the sky where Blackfire was dodging whip strikes from Gabriel.
Jusen looks at Backfire angrily, and shouted:
"YOU WON'T GET AWAY WITH THIS!"
Starfire, at that moment, activated her powers and said "No, she will not," before she flew towards Blackfire.
(Scene Shift: With Gabriel and Blackfire)
"Why do you run? Do you have something to hide?" Gabriel egged on.
"I don't need to tell you anything!" Blackfire shot back.
"Well shouldn't you tell your sister?" Gabriel said.
"What is that supposed to mean?" Blackfire uttered in confusion before Starfire flew in front of her and said "Hello, SISTER." in a menacing tone.
"Oh, hi, sister!" exclaimed Blackfire faking her cheerfulness, "I'm sorry that I didn't tell you anything, but I have to go now!" she said, before she started to float a bit farther from her.
"Oh no, you won't", retorted Starfire as she shot one of her bolts towards her. It failed, and let out an opening for her sister to attack with perfect accuracy. The shot hit, and the orange skinned girl fell down a bit, before she regained her composure.
"You knew that I've been always the best fighter between the two of us!" said Blackfire with smugness in her voice.
"Time Changes many things." Gabriel said before disappearing in a puff of smoke.
(Scene Shift: With the Titans)
Reappearing in front of the group Gabriel asked "Is everyone okay?"
"Yeah, I guess so", answered Jusen.
Gabriel nodded and turned to the Centari police.
"I can safely assume that you're here for the OTHER tamaranian." he said.
"Indeed." the leader said with a nod.
"Recollect your ship and capture her then. By the time you do I suspect that they will have finished their battle." Gabriel told them, the officers making their way towards their ship.
"Hey, by the way, can I see your arm?" asked Jusen, stopping the two.
The officers looked at each other and shrugged as they complied with the boy's request.
Noticing the weapons Jusen smiled, turning to the galactic beast he shouted "Kraken release them."
The Kraken bobbed his head in understanding, and disappeared in the same way it surged, leaving awe struck Titans.
(Scene Return: Starfire VS. Blackfire)
The tamaranian sisters floated in a circle, each trying to see who would make the first attack. Eventually, Blackfire rushed and tried to hit her sister with a medium powered bolt.
Starfire dodged it and shot a weak powered shot towards her sister.
Blackfire caught the shot, and swirled the bolt around lazily.
"Is that all you've got, sister?"
"No, it is NOT!"
Starfire then rushed Blackfire and fired a shot at point blank range, making her fall to the ground.
She would have taken serious damage from the impact if two arms didn't catch her, bridal style, in mid fall. Looking for her apparent savior, Blackfire found Jusen.
"Why?" she asked.
"Because, even though you've committed crimes, you don't deserve death as punishment." said the white haired male with a serious face, before he grinned "Also you're kind of cute." With a blush on her cheeks, Blackfire just jumped off him and retorted "I didn't need your help!"
He shrugs, and replied "Okay, so you didn't need my help, but you know that you're going to get caught anyway, right?"
The tamaranian realizes this, and reluctantly agrees: "I'm fine with that... even IF it's just to get away from you...", although her eyes betrayed her, a fact only noticed by him.
It was then that the police ship showed up.
"Black fire of Tamaran, you are..."
"Under arrest, I know, can we just go already?" Blackfire cut the officers off as she moved past them, the two shrugging in confusion.
"SISTER, WAIT!"
Blackfire looked up to see Starfire waving her goodbye.
"Farewell sister. And although you did attack and betray me it was still, nice, to see you." Starfire awkwardly said.
Blackfire just gave a soft smile at her and said "Sure. I guess it was nice to see you too."
Starfire was happy with her sister even as the space ship left.
(Scene Change: Titans Tower: Roof)
"I'll say thanks again for the help Jusen, you too Gabriel." Robin said
"What are brothers for?" Jusen said sheepishly as he scratched the back of his head.
"By the way, Jusen, the rest of the family has agreed on something." Gabriel added.
"What is it?" asked Jusen uncertain.
"The rest of our family has agreed to move the castle." Gabriel said with a grin.
"Wait, what?" said the white-haired male surprised.
"It's true. Naruto wanted to be closer to his new aunt so I'm going to move the castle closer to Titans Tower." Gabriel explained.
Jusen pondered a few seconds, before asking: "Are there any swimming pools around here?"
"Well I believe the ocean is a suitable pool. It's certainly clear enough." Gabriel said scratching his chin.
"Okay." The white-haired male smiled.
"Wait, how you can move a castle?! That's Impossible!" Beastboy exclaimed, waving his arms around.
"Tch," Jusen just smirked, "Trust me, if you need to move the castle, Gabriel is the right handyman!"
"Allow me to demonstrate." Gabriel added as he held out his hand towards the ocean.
Suddenly, the water began to ripple and part as the stone structure of a castle rose from the depth until it revealed itself to be Castlevania.
The other titans stared in awe, while Raven stood there in shock as she mumbled "And the castle rose from the depths to greet its long awaited master..." turning her eyes towards Gabriel "Dracula."
"I cannot deny what is true." Gabriel said with a smirk "My self-proclaimed title is 'Count Vladimir Dracul Tepes'; my human name is 'Gabriel Belmont'. However the rest of the world knows me as 'Count Dracula'."
"Well, the most famous and feared vampire is a pal of mine, and due to what I am, he couldn't ever kill me, even if he wanted," Jusen added, "Too bad Castlevania doesn't have a skate park."
"Nothing is impossible." Gabriel sagely said before teleporting away.
"Aw, MAN." Beast boy whined.
"What's wrong BB?" asked Cyborg, a little bit annoyed.
"I didn't even get a chance to ask him for an autograph!" the shape-shiftier answered, crying anime tears.
The others just sweat dropped at his antics.
"WHAT?" Beastboy asked nervously.
"*SIGH* Nothing," replied Jusen.
"Well, it's getting late, and I want to catch up with my sleep requirements," said Jusen, "I guess I'll see you tomorrow!"
He vanished in a white flash, back into the castle.
The Titans looked at each other, Robin saying "Yeah, it's time we should get back."
They headed back into the tower, where they went to sleep.
(Scene Change - Castle Grounds)
Meanwhile, all habitants of Castlevania were asleep, except for two.
A kunai was thrown at blinding speeds, not stopping even when bursting through tree after tree after rock after tree...
A hand just grabbed it and changed the direction upwards, making it soar towards the sky, before it was rebounded with a kick, making it rush back at the ground. Then a fist, which didn't bleed from the blade, punched it, sending back like a mirror would to a beam of light which sent it upwards once again, where a pair of hands swirled it, and sent it to the ground, causing a small earthquake.
The person who was doing all of this started to breathe heavily, and was hidden behind the smoke cloud. As the debris was cleared, it revealed Jusen panting.
"Is something troubling you?" Gabriel asked as he entered the newly made clearing.
Jusen turned towards him, and plopped down on the ground. He looked too much tired.
"What's wrong Jusen?" Gabriel asked, putting his hand on the boy's shoulder.
Jusen just said "You don't want to know."
Nodding once, Gabriel said "Very well. But just remember, happiness shared, happiness doubled, sadness shared, sadness halved. You're not the only one who lost someone he loves."
Jusen sighed sadly "I know, but it's too difficult for me to handle this, knowing that I could have done something."
"As do I, but I always think what if she saw me now? That is one of the reasons I've changed now. And I believe that if the one you missed saw you now, she would want you to be happy." Gabriel added.
"... Yeah..." said Jusen, "But I loved her, I still love her, but I love the goddesses too, this is so confusing!" he screamed at himself.
"Perhaps I can help with that." Gabriel offered.
"Huh?"
*SIGH* "I can have a soul brought back to the realm of the living with moderate difficultly, however, giving it a body to live in is a far more complicated matter entirely." Gabriel explained.
Jusen's eyes widened, as he stood there with shock.
However, he left, running to who-knows-where.
Gabriel rubbed his chin in confusion before shrugging and snapping his fingers, making death appear before him.
"I take it you heard our conversation." he stated.
"I have, but I'll need something in order to identify the woman in question." Death replied.
"I'll get him."
Gabriel then moved into a random clearing, where he spotted Jusen clutching a small photograph, while rocking back and front, like a scared child, with tears forming streams.
As he decided to make himself known with a step, Jusen looked at him, with his eyes shining in silver, red, light blue, and a sick green, before he snarled.
"YOU BASTARD!"
He rushed towards him with impressive speed, before he attacked with unrivaled ferociousness, with punches, kicks, elbow strikes, not even summoning any weapon. Gabriel, all the while, blocked each and every one of them.
After a few minutes, Jusen stopped, and broke down for the second time.
He looked at Gabriel, his eyes even puffier, and asked "How can you be so calm?"
"Do you really think you're the only one Jusen?" Gabriel began as his hair began to shift and grey.
"The only one to see their love one torn away from you, as you lay in a pool of your own blood as she defended you? Taking the killing blow that was meant for you." Gabriel's beard and mustache shifted and grayed as his ears became pointed.
"Are you the only one to see her as she told you and your son to not save her as she was burned at a stake?" He asked as his hair stopped changing once he looked like an old man (Castlevania Symphony of the Night Dracula) as his face contorted into a small scowl.
"Or perhaps going on a wild GOOSE CHASE to bring her back only to find that you could do NOTHING to do so!?" He finished with a shout.
"Gabriel?" asked Jusen, frozen due to the changes in his older friend.
Quirking an eyebrow and feeling his face and hair, Gabriel realized his appearance changed. Recollecting his thoughts he said "My point is, I have felt your pain and I can help you. All I ask is that you trust me."
Jusen just ran towards him, and hugged him, still crying.
"It'll be alright Jusen, I promise." Gabriel whispered as he held the boy close.
It was then that Death made his appearance known.
"An object of her possession please." He asked, holding out a bony hand.
The white-haired male just slipped the picture to him.
The photo showed a six-year old Jusen wearing a black shirt, and gray shorts, with black sandals smiling broadly, with a six-year old Solya wearing a light blue shirt, and light brown shorts wearing brown sandals smiling as well.
The reaper nodded and tucked the photo in its robes.
"You WILL find her." Gabriel said.
"Your will be done." Death said as he disappeared.
Jusen gulped "I'm sorry, Gabriel..."
The vampire merely chuckled and ruffled the boy's hair.
"Think nothing of it. I've been meaning to change my style for a while now." he said.
Jusen just smiled, and said: "You know, one could think we're family, if you're looking like that."
"I've probably been promoted from uncle to grandpa." Gabriel said with a smile.
"Sure you were gramps." Jusen smirked.
Gabriel only chuckled as he led Jusen inside.
(Chapter End)
Wow, that was intense!
And it was plenty of emotion.
Does somebody have a tissue?
No tissues yet. We still need to end the chapter.
Okay. And so, that ends our chapter!
And it looks like the titans will be hanging out with our characters more often.
Because of that, it appears that more action and stuff is going to erupt in the story!
And with Slade eventually being thrown into the mix, you know there'll be trouble.
And of course, somebody must take care of the situation.
Regardless that'll be taken care of in the next chapter.
