Chapter 5
Raven had awoken the next morning in her bed. At first she was confused as to how she had arrived there. The last thing she remembered was that they were all watching a movie. She deduced that she fell asleep. But she wandered how she got to her room. Getting up from her bed she saw the cloak she was wearing yesterday was on the night stand next to her bed. She picked it up and went over to her closet where she got a new leotard and cloak and put the old ones in the hamper.
After she readied herself Raven went to the Common Room where she saw all the Titans sitting at the table. It was Cyborg's turn to cook breakfast. Beast Boy on the other hand was already eating his breakfast that he made earlier. Cyborg was at the stove cooking bacon, eggs and waffles for the others.
"Morning," Raven said to everyone.
"Morning Raven," Robin said.
"Oh yes, morning of goodness, to you as well, Raven," Starfire spoke in her cheerful voice. Raven went over to the table, and sat down next to Beast Boy, since it was the next seat available.
Raven looked at him and greeted him. "Morning, Beast Boy," Raven said as kindly as she could make.
Beast Boy glanced at her and said, "Morning."
Raven looked at him for a moment more until Cyborg came with plates full of food for everyone, save for Beast Boy. After which they all began to eat and enjoy the morning.
After eating for a few minutes in peace, Raven felt she had to ask what happened last night. "So does anyone know how I got to bed last night?" Raven asked, hoping someone would answer.
The others stopped eating and looked at her skeptically. "Uh, did you not journey to your room, of your own volition?" Starfire asked.
Raven shook her head and said, "No, I didn't. Last thing I remember was falling asleep during the movie, and then next thing I knew I was in bed the next morning."
The others looked at each confused. Beast Boy on the other hand was just eating his food. "Sorry Raven, I took Starfire to bed, when she fell asleep. And Starfire couldn't have because she was asleep," Robin stated.
Starfire nodded her head and said, "Perhaps Cyborg or Beast Boy know."
Cyborg looked at Starfire and said after swallowing his food, "Sorry Raven, wasn't me I went out right after these two and locked the Tower down, before heading to bed." Cyborg knew who did bring her back, and he was waiting to see how he would react. The Titans eyes shifted to Beast Boy, who merely kept his eyes closed as he continued to eat.
"Uh, Beast Boy?" Robin asked questionably.
"Do you know how Raven proceeded to her room?" Starfire asked him.
Beast Boy took one last bite and set his fork down. He looked to Raven, and for the first time in a month, she saw sadness and fear in his eyes. "Raven I-" But Beast Boy was interrupted by the alarm. Robin jumped from his seat and went over to the computer where he pulled up who it was and where it was.
"Titans, looks like breakfast will be cut short, Cinderblock, Plasmas, and Overload, are destroying downtown," Robin proclaimed. He pushed a button and the computer locked the coordinates in their communicators. "Titans, Go!" And all the Titans left to go face their foe. However Raven's mind was wandering what Beast Boy was going to say.
The three villains were destroying everything in sight, buildings, cars, and city blocks. Cinderblock was punching building walls and throwing cars causing mass chaos. He roared and yelled, as he used the cars to destroy even more. At the same time, Plasmas used his acid to melt holes in the road, and disintegrate walls, cars, and street signs. He was also like Cinderblock, destroying buildings with his arms. And as for Overload, he used his electric powers to short circuit cars, and blow up stop lights. He also terrified the public but shooting them with electricity, or at least shooting it near them.
They were continuing their rampage that is until a black energy wrapped around the car that Cinderblock had, and was stripped from his hands. Cinderblock looked confused, and when he heard a voice quickly turned his attention to it. "You know, if you guys are gonna come downtown, the least you could do is clean yourselves up," Robin stated. The Titans were in battle ready stances and Raven and just put down the car she took from Cinderblock. Cinderblock yelled and he charged the Titans. "Titans, move!" And with that they all charged the three villains at once.
Robin and Cyborg squared off against Cinderblock. Robin jumped in the air and kicked him from above, but Cinderblock used his giant fist to collide with Robin's foot. But that did not stop him and he jumped over Cinderblock, causing his attention to focus on him. At that moment, Cyborg came and punched Cinderblock hard enough to push him back a bit and made him a little disorientated. But that did not stop him as he again charged Cyborg and punched him into the building behind him. Robin saw this and began to use his martial arts against him.
Cinderblock blocked as many of Robin's attacks as he could, but because Robin was far quicker than him, Robin did manage to get a few hits in. Cinderblock for the most part saw this as annoying, and used his large arm to try and swat Robin away. Robin ducked under his attack and then took out one of his electric disks. He placed it under Cinderblock and jumped back. The disks exploded in a bright light, making Cinderblock temporarily blind. Cyborg had just gotten back up from when he was knocked back, and Robin regrouped with him. "Sure is giving us a challenged today," Cyborg stated as he rubbed his head.
"Yeah, but still we got to take him down," Robin readied his collapsible bo-staff to start the second round. Cyborg also got back up and charged his sonic cannon. Cinderblock eye sight returned to him and he charged the two hero's once more.
Starfire and Raven were dealing with Overload. He was shooting bolts of electricity and the two girls, but since they could fly, they had an easier time evading it. After the first few electric attacks failed to hit them, Starfire used her starbolts to attack Overload with as many hits as she could make. A volley of starbolts hit him, and Overload used his arm to block as many as he could. Once they stopped, he shot another bolt of electricity and it Starfire this time, causing her to fall from the sky. Raven saw Starfire fall and then turned her attention back to Overload.
"Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos!" Raven exclaimed as she summoned her powers to grab a car nearby, and chuck it at Overload. He merely caught it, and sucked all the electricity out of car. He then threw it back at Raven. Raven flew out of the way and then picked up a piece of the road, and threw it at Overload. It hit him knocking him off his legs and pushing him back a little. Starfire got back up from the ground, and immediately fire a large starbolt at Overload, which knocked him back even more.
"He is most persistent," Starfire said as she prepared herself for his second assault.
"Yeah, he stills not to bright, if he is coming back," Raven stated as she flew down next to Starfire.
Overload got back up from the ground and growled. "Overload shall destroy you," Overload proclaimed angrily. He shot multiple bolts of electricity at the two girls and they readied themselves for his attack.
Beast Boy was being pushed back by Plasmas as he shot acid at him. Beast Boy was currently a cheetah, using his speed and agility to dodge the acid that was flying everywhere. Beast Boy eventually charged Plasmas while still dodging the acid. Once he was close enough, he morphed into a wooly mammoth knocking Plasmas back a bit. Beast Boy transformed back into himself, but was quickly caught by his slime and thrown into a building near him. Beast Boy was disoriented for a moment, but screamed when he saw Plasmas over top of him ready to attack him.
Beast Boy transformed into a humming bird to evade Plasmas' attack. After which, he flew high above him and then transformed into a rhino to crash into him, but Plasmas, used his slime to capture Beast Boy and fling him across the road. Beast Boy transformed back into himself and groaned as he rubbed his head. "Ah man, now I'm gonna smell like the inside of a sewer," Beast Boy complained. He then saw Plasmas charging at him. Plasmas were screaming wanting to destroy everything in his path, in this case Beast Boy. "Oh, man." Beast Boy transformed into a gorilla ready to fight again.
The Titans were fighting all of their foes. With somewhat difficulty. Since they had to split up, they were not as strong as they would be together. Cyborg and Robin decided to use the 'Sonic Boom,' knocking Cinderblock a far ways away from them. Still they had to capture him, so Robin and Cyborg went after him. And as for Starfire and Raven, they used a water pipes found in the buildings to short-circuit Overload. He grew smaller in size. But before he could form back into a disk he ran from the girls. Starfire then used her starbolts to attack him, which knocked him away. The girls then also followed Overload to capture him as well.
Plasmas, was running out of breath, and he had lost a lot of his slime, considering he had thrown so much acid at Beast Boy in order to try and melt him. Beast Boy was himself, as he looked at Plasmas. Beast Boy could tell that he was merely at his limit. Plasmas was about to get up again, but was knocked over by Cinderblock, and then Overload. Beast Boy looked confused for a moment but then saw the other Titans approach; he must have realized that they defeated their foes.
"It would appear that we are victorious," Starfire said as she looked at the three fallen foes.
"Yeah, now we all we need to do is take them to jail," Robin stated.
"Yeah then we can head out and grab some pizza, since these three ruined breakfast for us," Cyborg said. His stomach growled and Starfire and Beast Boy jumped for joy at the thought of getting some food.
The three villains stood up and looked at the Titans waiting for them make their move. Cinderblock had another idea instead. He took out a small device from his back and pressed the button on it. Next thing that happened was the three monster-like villains were consumed in a whirlwind of electricity and energy. The Titans looked at the three and saw that they were starting to mix together, just as they had done when Slade and Terra took over the city.
Once the energy died down the three had become one. The main body appeared to be Plasmas, with attributes of Cinderblocks rock like armor around him, and Overloads, electric impulses and body as well. After their first encounter, the Titans aptly named this creature ternion. Ternion roared and attacked the Titans. "Titans, move!" Robin exclaimed they separated.
"I don't get it, I though Slade could only make them combine like that," Cyborg said as he fired his sonic cannon. Ternion merely blocked it as it was redirected in another direction. Starfire, Raven, and Beast Boy, were using their powers to attack the creature in order to subdue it.
Robin jumped next to him and started throwing his electric disks. After a few of them were in his hand he spoke, "I don't know, but I do know how he is going down." Robin threw his disks as they exploded at the creature. "The hard way" Cyborg nodded his head in agreement and continued to fire his sonic cannon.
Starfire and Raven combined their attacks and hit Ternion, making him take a few steps back. This gave Cyborg and opportunity to tackle the creature from behind, knocking him forward. Ternion shook its head and looked in front of him where, Robin threw more of his electric disk and exploded upon impact. Ternion howled in pain but not before Beast Boy became an elephant and knocked into Ternion on his side. This made him roll into a building near them all.
Beast Boy transformed back, and the Titans regrouped ready to finish the job and take him to jail. Ternion emerged and screamed angrily at the Titans. Ternion ready his fist and put a lot of power into it. The Titans prepared themselves for the attack, but that's when they noticed that a child was crying behind them. They all gasped and before they were able to move the child, Ternion launched his fist at them. They had no time to react, or get out of the way. But one of them had another idea.
Beast Boy, transformed into a gorilla and got in front of the attack spreading his arms out to shield his friends and the girl. The Titans watched as the fist collided with his chest, causing scores of power and electricity to run through him. Beast Boy howled in pain as he was sent back over the Titans and the girl, onto a pile of concrete and rocks. Halfway in the air he had reverted back into his human form.
He moaned from the pain and did not move or get up just laid on the rubble. The Titans saw this all and they were not pleased. They turned to look at Ternion and saw him laughing as though, it was amusing.
The Titans were now angry and charged the creature, with all their might and strength. Beast Boy opened his eyes for a moment, and saw the Titans attack Ternion. He smiled knowing they could defeat him. Darkness took over hearing the battle between his friends and Ternion.
Well another chapter down, and before I go into my whole spiel, I'd will say that I DO NOT OWN Ternion. I merely used him in this chapter. But nontheless, I am beyond happy at the number of reviews and views on the last chapter alone. It makes me feel as though my stories truly make you all happy. And i have gone over the suggestions that I have read, and I will try to use them in my story to make it all the better. But i must be comfortable in my own ability to write as well. Just a second opinion is nice. Anyway thank you all for your support and for enjoying the story thus far. I will still do my best to make it better. And please enjoy and review :) :)
