A/N: This one is basically a leading up to a chapter that will be Superboy plus the baby bat family plus Bart. So we have a head count of Stephanie Brown, Cass Cain, Tim Drake, Jason Todd, Bart Allen, and Damian Wayne (he's a baby so he's just chillin' on the couch). This one is an intro so it's not as funny. It's also not as funny because (Excuse my rant) a 7th grader at the middle school (I'm in high school, but the two schools are basically connected) committed suicide. It makes me so upset that he was so young. He was 12. Ugh. I'm not in the funny mood. I'm gonna go watch AFV to get into the funny mood. (Rant remotely done). ANGST ANGST ANGST. So yeah. And for this game. You basically put a CD or DVD in the PS2 and it gives you a monster from the disk. This game literally has cost my family over a thousand dollars. I'm glad that even though you guys haven't played the games that you think they're funny. That was my initial fear about this story.

BTW, never, ever break a Rush Hour 2 DVD.

Monster Rancher 4

Part One

The team was relatively tired from their last mission. It wasn't like it was a hard mission or anything. It was just busy work. The League was giving them busy work. It was just busy work that the League was making them do in hopes that they wouldn't realize that they were getting the short straw of this deal

They realized they were getting the short straw.

They weren't too happy about it either. Honestly, how stupid did the League think they were? Besides Wally, because everyone knows how stupid he is.

The Team had already had a sort of relaxed schedule that hey would fall into after a mission: Artemis would go to her Arrow Chair and cuddle with her fluffy blanket, Wally and Robin would usually end up on the couch playing some violent game, Kaldur usually ended up getting stuck with doing the mission briefings, M'gann would go make some delicious goodies for the Team to snack on, and Conner, sort of, just angsted.

That's what they would usually do.

Today was different, though.

Upon entering the cave through the Zeta beam, they all promptly tripped over piles upon piles of DVDs, CDs, and game discs. This can't be good.

"Robin!" a little, high-pitched voice shrieked. Out of nowhere a little girl with blonde hair appeared. It was pulled back into a braid, but it was falling out. She looked like she hadn't slept in days. In her hands was a coffee mug full of hot coffee. She also looked absolutely pissed. "You spilt the Golem/Mocchi pile!" she shouted punching him in the knee.

If she hadn't been four years old, he would have been scared. "Stephanie, please tell me you didn't…"

The little girl's grin was almost demonic, "Oh, yes."

Robin was scared. Not like Whoa, it's pretty dark in here scared. No, this was If I was on fear toxin right now, this is what I would see scared.

The cave was covered in piles of discs. The Team had never seen so many discs ever. Each of the piles had a sticky note labeling it.

Cassandra Cain, A09.

Tim Drake, A07.

The two kids that had just Zeta beamed in nearly bumped into the team. They were both caring giant piles of more discs. They nearly bumped into the team. "'Scuse me, Robin. We got work to do," Tim mumbled. Somehow, the two kids managed to make their way through the living room, which was a mess with discs littered everywhere.

"What are they doing?" M'gann asked.

"Rob…They aren't…" Wally muttered. He wasn't as familiar with the game as Rob was, but he knew of it. He knew that the game was made to tear family apart. To create a divide.

"They are…" Robin gulped. He felt numb. This had happened once before, and that was the reason why Jason didn't like him. He thought Bruce had got rid the game after the…instance.

The TV was blaring a song that was extremely irritable and annoyed the whole team. Conner wasn't the only one at the moment that wanted to rip their shirt off and break the screen in two. There was a guy standing on the screen that looked like some sort of priest of a cult.

Would you like to try and raise a monster a monster from a disk or from your book?

The person playing clicked Disk. The cult dude disappeared off the screen, and a new text appeared on the screen. Please insert a CD or DVD to resurrect a monster. There were two clicks. Processing… Please insert Monster Rancher 4 disc.

Processing…

It is time to create your new monster!

The screen went into a huge cinematic. The Team watched in awe as the screen swirled and used the power of the all-glorious moon to hit another ancient stone tablet. A huge beam shot out of the disk and onto the ground. Out of the beam formed a…monster? It was a weird panda bear dog thing. And God, was it ugly. It had the dumbfounded expression of a Slowpoke and the bulkiness of an overweight sloth with meningitis.

"What is that thing?" Conner asked.

"Stephanie!" a familiar voice called out. "Here's another disc for the Baku/? Pile!"

The little blonde in front of them let out a loud groan. "Not another," she mutter, obviously annoyed with the ugly ass monster that had appeared on the screen. "Coming Jason!" she shouted and deftly made her way through the piles and piles of games and discs. She managed to make her way to the couch with ease and didn't knock over a single pile.

The team wasn't as lucky.

M'gann had it easy and simply floated over the piles of games. Artemis and Robin also didn't have that much trouble; they both were very well balanced and skilled in the arts of ninjaness. Wally nearly re-broke his nose again after tripping over a pile that was labeled Zoom/Dragon. Kaldur simply walked through it like the regal badass he was.

Conner…wasn't as lucky as the others. He ended up stepping on a disk. There was a distinct crack, and it broke into six parts. Five different paris of eyes landed on him with the intent of killing him. Forget the number one Bat rule. He had just broken the disc.

"You son of a bitch…" Jason growled. He looked about ready to shank Conner with a kryptonite studded knife.

"Yay-son, don't use bad words." Stephanie whined.

"You're just jealous cause Daddy doesn't let you swear," Jason stuck his tongue out at the blonde.

She made a dive over the couch to grab his tongue and narrowly missed.

"Jason, I thought Daddy got rid of that game," Robin said warily.

Jason gave him an absolute devilish smirk. "He got rid of Monster Rancher 3 this is 4." Then the boy turned his attention back to the clone that had broken the disk. "Timmy…what disk did he break?"

Another dark haired little boy jumped over the couch to where the clone was standing. Conner lifted his foot. The little boy gasped. His eyes pricked with tears as he picked up the disk dubbed Rush Hour 2 widescreen special edition. "It was the only Joker disk we could find."

If the little kids were murderous before, they were now homicidal, arsonistic. "It took us two years to find a disk that could give us a Joker! The most powerful monster in the game!" Jason cried out.

All the little kids started crying along with him.

"We searched twenty-two video stores for that one disk!"

"I stole from fifteen video stores to get that disk!"

"We'll never be able to get him!"

"We're never going to be able to beat the game!"

"I hate you!"

"It feels like my mom is beating me again!"

"It feels like when I got beaten to death all over again."

"Whoa, same here!"

"My parents are dead!"

"My mom disowned me!"

"Everything bad in my life is coming back to me, because he broke the disk!"

"Shit. Supes, look what you did!" Robin groaned looking at his little siblings plus Bart all crying.

"He has to make it up to us," Stephanie said, wiping tears from her eyes. She went over and started pulling on Conner's pant let. "'Member when Robin accidentally broke Timmy's DS, and he had to be Timmy's servant for the week?" She mumbled, hugging onto Conner's leg.

"Conner has to be our slave for the week."
