Teen Titans – Video Games Are Fun

4. Chapter 3: So Many Syllables!

Mail Call!

TDG3RD – Hey, thanks! Although I don't understand what the hell you see in this story, I thank you from the deepest recesses of my left lung! By the way, I do remember you saying that you didn't remember much about the game. But, this is just over the top. Didn't the gender ambiguity give it away?

Rave-Widow – Yeah, it was supposed to suck. Don't you hate when the dictionary uses the word in its own definition just in a different form? Just to show how evil I am, I shall now define smoofiness for you!

Smoofiness – a state or emotion described as smoofy.

Didn't that suck!Sorry if you didn't enjoy that last chapter as much. You're probably gonna be pretty disappointed in this one. It's short and rushed. But, that's just because I wanna get to the real story already. I was in an endless void of evil stagnant story… stuff! So, there won't be much fighting in this chapter. There's a small scene. But, don't mistake that for my best job. I almost made a insulting comment in the direction of Stephen King, but decided that keeping it to myself would be the smartest move of my life… or lack thereof. And, sorry about the test… thingy.

Raven is far more cruel in BB's direction than that of any others in the team. It would take a squirrel not to notice. As for BB's attention span, I'm going for the version of Beast Boy that has a brain. By the way, my grandma used to have a fish. It died because, every time she fed it, she would forget, like, two minutes later and feed it again, and due to its short fish attention span, it just kept eating and eventually just popped! It was the most traumatic event of my life!

Oh! I almost forgot! Let's just assume that Cyborg did cry over the GameStation after his confusion wore off and we had returned to BB and Rae. As if you didn't notice, when I respond to a review, I respond to the entire review. Maybe, I'm just trying to make my story look longer… nah!

On to the story!

"I don't know why you're here. So, don't ask." The response startled me. I had even formed the theory that we had actually been brought to this world by the very one who denied any knowledge as to our purpose.

"I think I might have an idea" said Raven pulling herself slowly from my grip. "This world's hero is dead. So, now we're here. Make sense?"

"Of course!" said the man with a look of sudden realization on his face. "Then, I guess that this speech is for…"

I interrupted him with a moan… which I was surprised to hear Raven echo. I already knew everything that the speech would entail, and I wasn't looking forward to hearing it all over again.

"I see you are aware of what I am about to say" the man said, as if by the blessing of The Great Golden Legume of Sewer Gate 17. "Tell me what you know."

I began with some slight hesitation. I felt as though I was taking a test, and although I'm not nearly as much of a dimwit as most think, I have always hated tests. But, nonetheless, I began. "I know about the five temples and the six sages and all that stuff" I said deciding to keep what I knew about the man himself a secret… for now. I didn't want to ruin the game for Raven, now do I?

"That is good. But, you have forgotten one element. And, that is where you must go first as to even enter these five temples" the man replied seeming to smirk under his weird ninja-type mouth-thingy.

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Raven's POV

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

I was completely lost in the situation. It looked as if Beast Boy and the… man were old friends or something. Plus, 'temples'… 'sages'… 'place we must go first'? I mean, I was able to figure out a couple things from context clues, but there weren't very many to work with. Sure, I knew the basic purpose of our presence in this world, but nothing beyond the simple base.

I was quickly recovering from my confusion and replacing it with my safety emotion, annoyance. "What the hell's going on?" I asked with anger evident in my tone. To my relief, that question got the attention of the other two. But, that created another problem. I was the center of attention. I reached back and pulled my hood over my face… but there was something different about it. I'll check it out later.

I was surprised when I heard Raven's voice behind me. I had nearly forgotten all about her presence. I decided that an explanation was in order… but now wasn't the time.

So, I approached her and put my hand on her shoulder. "I know that this is… a bit weird."

"No, really?" she replied sarcastically.

"I'll explain everything when we get to Kakariko."

"Fine" she replied hesitantly. I knew that she was uncomfortable, so I turned back to the man for some final words so we could finally leave.

"I know what we're supposed to do, and I think that we should get going" I said using my best rationalizing skills as to convince the man to just let us leave.

"Fine then" was his only reply. He then sat down on the pedestal of the Master Sword and suddenly got an expression of shock on his face. He leapt back to his feet. "Wait!"

"What?" asked Raven who had already been on her way out.

"The Master Sword!" he said with some slight fear in his words. "And, all the other things."

"Well…" I began, contemplating the situation. "It's supposed to be pulled from the Pedestal of Time. But, shouldn't pulling it from the…" I looked down at the dead guy on the floor. "Hero of Time… do just as well?"

"You're kidding me" Raven said with disgust evident in her tone.

"Don't worry, I'll do it!" I said in my mock-heroic voice.

I approached the dead man and gripped the hilt of the blade in his chest. I pulled at it, causing the body to make a nauseating sucking sound. I gave one more hard tug and the blade slid smoothly out.

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Raven's POV

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

I was slightly surprised at the ease in which he pulled the blade from the body. But, my surprise was nothing in comparison to that of the ninja man. His eyes went wide in a shock not fitting to this man's mysterious outer appearance.

Then, I saw something blue fall from the man's pocket. I reached down and picked up the object and was hit with… yet another… surprise. It was an ocarina. One could imagine my astonishment at finding an instrument native to my own homeland of Azarath.

"Interesting" said the man attempting to return to his distant demeanor. "The green boy wields the blade while the dark girl plays the ocarina."

"Oh, fuck this!" Beast Boy shouted grabbing my arm. "We're outta here! I don't want any more surprises today, and the longer we stay here, the more surprises there'll be."

His logic actually seemed to make sense, so I followed after him with absolutely no resistance. But, when we were out the front doors, we stopped remembering what waited for us.

"Shit" I muttered when I realized what I was gonna have to face all over again. Then, I remembered the sword in my right hand and felt slightly calmer, but I still couldn't seem to become completely calm.

Raven quickly noticed my discomfort and stepped in front of me, but I stopped her. "I'll have an easier time with them. Your powers are dark and'll only make 'em stronger."

She nodded and let me go ahead. The only hope I had was that I wouldn't have to run into one of those things. I remembered fully what it had done to me, and knew that I wasn't fully back to normal. Sure, I was able to keep up a outer appearance of normalcy, but inside, I was still reeling from the emotions that it had brought up. My only relief was that I had gotten back my good memories from that… zombie.

I saw one of those things approaching me and leapt from its line of vision. I dashed around behind it and sliced its head clean off. I had a slight sense of calm… until Raven called out my name and declared that I was facing in the wrong direction for the current objective. I was just about to turn when I heard that bone chilling shriek. I was paralyzed once again. It was almost on me when another form flew at me, knocking me away.

After saving me, Raven turned and literally tore the zombies head clear off. She then turned to me and motioned for me to follow her, as if nothing had even happened.

I, of course, did exactly that. A pissed off Raven is not a pleasant Raven. We ran through the gate that acted as the only way into and out of the city.

Oh my god! I'm so sorry for this… crap! It was so short! I'll never screw up like this again! I promise! I hate myself for doing this to my loyal fans! I'm gonna go kill myself… ooooorrrrr… (laughs evilly). Maybe I'll wait a couple days. I'll kill myself unless I get some positive reviews… 3786 of 'em! Hahahahahahaha-ehem… Don't worry! I'm just kidding. I haven't slept in… what time is it? Oh! 60 hours, and 45 minutes! Damn you sugar! Damn you to hell!

P.S. For anybody who took what I was saying above at all seriously, I apologize sincerely. As I said before, I tend to say dumb stuff. That is, unless, you thought the entire above situation was actually funny. In which case, I tend to say funny stuff a lot! Well, I'm off… to start work on a chapter that I can actually stand to be in the presence of.

P.P.S. To those of you who aren't reviewing, start! Now! I'm off… for real this time!

Signed

The Cheese!
