Chapter 7

The Knight

Kaz bolted through the sky like a rocket, followed by the Titans. He was mad- and with good reason. He heard a slight buzz, and realized it was his communicator. His communicator? Why would the Titans be calling him when they were right behind him...Or, far behind, for he had flown way ahead.

Kaz flipped open the communicator. "Yeah, Cyborg?" he asked the Titan. Cyborg looked concerned. "Where are we even going, Kaz? You're flying in random directions," he said. Kaz came to a stop in midair as his teammate pointed this out to him.

Kaz thought for a moment, and realized he had no answer. "I'm just worried, that's all," replied Kaz, and he looked around, hoping to see some trace of Day Dreamer. All of a sudden, he saw a flash of silver go across the sky. "What the..."

He blinked, and saw the silver again, this time on the ground. Kaz looked back at the communicator. "I'm going to go check that out," he said, looking at the silver gleam on the ground below. He began o fly down towards it, but was blown backwards by a green energy bolt. Kaz was bewildered, because it was almost like a starbolt...

A starbolt? Only Starfire could shoot starbolts..right? Kaz continued flying downwards, and found himself dodging several starbolts. Why are you following me? said a voice in his head.

Kaz thought he was going insane at this point. He was hearing voices and seeing starbolts being shot at him. What was going on? Kaz was interrupted from his thinking by a starbolt straight in the chest, and he plummeted to the ground.

As Kaz impacted upon the hard concrete, he struggled to get up, and in doing so, he finally saw who had shot him down. It was a man, who was about six feet tall. He was dressed in armor, some what like a fragmented form of a knight's garb. He could see a hooded jacket underneath, and black jeans.

The stranger also had some strange equipment. He held in one hand the finest sword he had ever seen, and in the other he had a round shield. But, the strangest thing about him was his eyes. They were green, but they glowed green.

"Who are you?" asked the man. Kaz stared at him. "A better question is, who are you, and why did you shoot me down?" Kaz replied bitterly. The strange man looked down on him. "It's none of your business who I am. And maybe I wouldn't have shot you down if you hadn't been following me!" shouted the stranger into Kaz's face.

Kaz got up. "I wasn't following you. Well, I sorta was, but not to attack you or anything. I'm just looking for somebody, and I guess your sword caught my attention," explained Kaz, motioning to the stranger's blade.

The man nodded. "It attracts a lot of trouble sometimes. Well, people know me as the Alpha Knight, but most just call me Alpha," he said. "And who might you be?"

"I'm Kaz. I'm the White Lantern of this sector...we're kinda like Green Lanterns, but under a different color," Kaz said, putting his hand out for a handshake. Alpha shook his hand, and sheathed his sword.

"So, who are you looking for?" asked Alpha, obviously curious. Kaz told him the story, and Alpha said he would help. "Do you have any idea where they might have went?" asked Alpha, and at that moment, the Titans arrived.

"Who's the dude with the sword?" asked BB. Alpha looked at him. "A hero, just like you. And that's all you need to know," he said, and narrowed his eyes. He obviously was not very trusting. Robin stood in between them. "We've got a lock on Day Dreamer's communicator. She's at the abandoned oil rig, in the bay," he said.

Kaz nodded. "I suggest we get going, then," he said. So, the Titans flew off to the beach to save their teammate.

Foolish heroes..they do not no the danger they face...

DUN DUN DUN! Even more suspense! And a new character..what secrets does he hide?
