The Next Generation
Chapter 3: Intruder from the Past
"What do you mean?" Lucious asked, clearly puzzled.
"Do you remember Silkie?" Blaze inquired while Tawny rolled her eyes.
"That maggoty pet of Starfire's?" Lucious asked.
"Nice description of him. Fits him perfect." Tawny replied rudely.
"Yes, that's the one. Well, Silkie had pups. And Slim is one of them, the only one I kept."
"You're kidding, right?" Lucious stared on in disbelief.
"Oh, he's serious." Tawny chipped in.
"Well, Slim is different than Silkie. Slim has legs so he stands upright instead of on his belly, like Silkie. Slim only has four legs and has ears, so he kinda resembles a furless dog with antennas." Blaze laughed.
"Don't forget he can fly, he has moth like wings, except they're all pale and fuzz-less, like the rest of his body." Tawny added.
"And your mutant destroyed MY room?" Lucious yelled, remembering about his room.
"I'll help clean it up. Tawny will, too."
"Speak for yourself." Tawny told him as she made an attempt to leave the room but Slim pounced on her. "SLIM!"
"He's bigger than Silkie," Lucious replied, looking at the golden retriever sized mutant.
"Yeah, well…" Blaze began, then stopped to help pull Slim off of Tawny.
"God, that dog has problems." Tawny muttered angrily.
"Whoa, boy…" Blaze remarked as the dog began to pull heavily on the chain Blaze used as a leash. Slim was growling and snarling like crazy. "There must be an intruder."
"Well, let the dog lead us to him." Lucious replied.
"Fine." Blaze said as he let go of the chain and the dog went flying down the hall. Blaze went flying after him, followed by Tawny. Lucious ran after them as he was unable to fly.
"Slim, halt!" Blaze yelled as he saw the dog cornering a young girl with blonde hair and blue eyes. The dog stopped, but watched her very closely.
"Who are you?" Lucious asked.
"No…" Tawny gasped as she saw the girl.
"Hey, Robin, you lost the mask. And since when did you fly?" The girl laughed.
Blaze watched her for a moment in disbelief. Lucious looked puzzled as Tawny grabbed his shoulder in an attempt to stay standing upright. Blaze spoke her name softly, eyes wide in disbelief.
"Terra."
