Chapter 8
-mission one with Robin-
"HYAAH" Robin screamed jumping into the air, hitting Slade in the face with a fly kick. Slade stumbled backwards a bit from the impact. He then ran towards Robin hitting him with the uppercut in the jaw. Robin flew up in the air from the impact and landed couple
of feet away from slade onto the floor. Robin quickly recovered and got up and ran towards him with with fury, jumipng I the air and again attempted to fly kick him. This time he impacted Slade in the chest, which caused him to fly backwards into the wall. The wall had a slight dent in it.
"Excellent work Robin, I think your skills are inproving" he praised him, while Robin walkws up to him and stood in front of him. "Thanks" He responded before pulling him away from the wall, turning him around while clenching his fist, bringing his fist back and forced it forward, striking Slades face with the uppercut. Slade stumbled backwards before he tripped over his own foot.
Robin walked up to Slade, helping him up "So? When exactly are we going to start phase one of your plan?"
"Your mission will start in about couple of hours. After I send Cinderblock and 200 of my robots to attack the city block I want you to go on the rooftop o. The closest apartment building and observe the battle. When the titans get cornered or are about to be defeated I want you to go and help them by destroying all of my robots." he concluded
Robin stared at Slade confusedly. "How am I supposed to destroy a large army of robots?"
Slade walked up to his desk and opened one of his many shelves and took out what seemed to be 3 explosives.
ROBIN: "What are those?"
SLADE: "These are electric explosives. When you chuck one of these at the swarm robots and it detonates it sends out a wave of EMP effectively short circuiting all of the robots in the 100 metre radius." Slade explained while giving 3 of the explosives to Robin, which he accepted and added to his belt.
"Now go rest before your mission starts" he said. Robin nodded and went to his room.
-Scene change-
"Have you found any clues on Beast boys wherebouts yet" Raven asked walking into the main room to get some of her herbal tea. He shook his head sadly wondering about where he was hiding. Cyborg hasn't given up on looking for his best friend. Raven has also been helping him a lot, but since he dissapeared she had to meditate a lot more to keep her distressed emotions under control before she blows up the entire tower. She already has managed to blow up 2 microwaves, one TV and all the lightbulbs in the entire tower. She has been quite depressed lately Because Beast boy and her had something special between them and Robin had to ruin it. She hasn't even manage to sense his aura.
She kept getting this wierd feeling that something bad is going to happen with Beast boy in the near future and it scared her. Whenever she gets these feelings they tend to come true and this particular premenition kept returning to her in her dreams. All she could remember seeing was that Beast boy was held up against the wall inside some warehouse by 2 of the Slade bots. She saw argent there as well with a kid hugging her facing away from Beast boy. The next thing she saw was Red x walkIng up to him. She always woke up before she saw what Red x was going to do to him. She hasnt gotten a good night sleep since because it kept haunting her. She hasn't told anyone about her dream, but now it had to be told because she needed help and was becoming more worried for Beast boys health. She decided that Cyborg would be suitable enough person to talk about it.
"No I haven't not yet. People have given us a lot of false leads, so it takes time to figure out which leads are false and which leads are real" Cyborg replied scanning through one of the leads.
Now's the time she though. "Err Cyborg can I talk to you about something." She pleaded. "Sure" he said turning around. When he turned around and saw her face he became concerned.
"Whats wrong Raven" he questioned
"I don't know if I should be telling you this, but I keep having a bad dream about Beast boy" she said facing away from him while trying to keep herself calm. He quirked an eyebrow as she continued on explaining her dream and that she was worried about that it might be a premenition and has already happened, because she was unable to sense his aura.
He put his hand on her shoulder "Don't worry Raven we'll find him and figure something out before it's too late" he said believing what she said was true. He was actually afraid thinking what if he really was in trouble right now, but was forced to push all the thoughts aside.
Suddenly the alarm went off. Someone was causing trouble in the city again. It has been more frequent since Robin got kicked out of the tower. Cyborg checked the scanners to see who was causing trouble.
"Who is it this time?" Asked Raven as Starfire entered the main room. She was getting rather annoyed with more frequent attacks. It has taken a toll on her meditation. Her powers have been going more haywire than usual, but she still managed to keep them in check.
"It's Slade and cinderblock attacking downtown" responded Cyborg getting up.
"Lets go and do the kicking of butt" said Starfire enthusiastically as usual. With that they exited the main room, heading towards the scene of the crime.
-Change scene-
They arrived at the scene of the crime in Cyborgs Tcar and jumped out to having to face Slades army of soldiers and Cinderblock.
Cyborg sped towards Slades bots, charging up his sonic cannon, ready to fire at Slade bots, while Starfire charged at the bots with her inhumane alien strength. Raven used her powers to pick up some of the Slade bots crushing them to dust.
They continued on battling the Slades bots for couple of more minutes until they saw more robots come from the other side. They were getting trapped now. Raven saw an alleyway and ran towards it with others following her until they realised that the alleyway was a dead end. They turned around in fear. Raven and Starfire were quite afraid that they even forgot that they could fly away from the scene. They saw an army of Slade bots approaching them, with Cinderblock following them closely behind them. They were now cornered with no backup plan.
-With Robin-
Robin managed to position himself on one of the apartment rooftops, enabling him a birdseye view of the battle.
When he saw them cornered, he wondered 'Why aren't they flying away from the scene' he was snapped out of his thought by the loud scream that only Starfire could finally gave him the order to strike through the earpiece he had given Robin earlier.
Robin nodded, confirming that he understood the order and jumped off the building. He took out a grappling hook from his belt and fired it at the rooftop, slowing down his decent to the ground. Once he landed, he dropped his grappling hook and ran towards cinderblock, fly kicking him at the back of his head and jumped back. Cinderblock stumbled forward a bit and turned around. When he saw Robin it let out a battle cry running towards him, getting ready to hit him. Robin jumped in the air and did a front flip over him, taking 3 of the electric disks out of his belt, which Slade had given him earlier and chucked them in the crowd of Slades bots. It detonated moments after, causing all of the slades bots to short circuit.
All of the titans were too shocked at the sight to even move. Robin then took out his bo staff and jumped towards Cinderblock slamming it down on his head. Cinderblock stumbled backwards feeling slightly dizzy from the impact. Robin then jumped on top of his head and placed another explosive, which slade had given to him before he left. on top of Cinderblocks head and jumped away to safety. When the explosive detonated with a small pop, it forced Cinderblocks energy to drain away and shortly after he fainted. Robin then ran up to it and took the device off Cinderblocks head. "Do not speak to them. Not yet" Slade ordered. He complied and ran away, leaving 3 very confused titans behind.
-With titans-
"Err what just happened" asked Cyborg, snapping everyone out of their trance.
"We were getting our butts kicked until friend robin interfiered and saved us" said Starfire.
"How did Robin know that we were in trouble?" asked Cyborg getting slightly suspicious.
Both girls just shrugged, thinking that it was just a coincidence.
"Lets just take Cinderblock back to jail and go back to the tower" suggested Raven.
-With Robin-
Robin ran back to Slades hideout spot. He walked into the control room where Slade resided most of his time. When Slade heard Robin enter into the control room he said "Excellent Robin, I couldn't have done any better myself" he said picking up the remote and turning on the screen, showing Robin the battle. "You treated the titans to quite a show. I have to say I am impressed how you disabled Cinderblock in less than a minute. You already managed to impress the titans. For your first mission i'd say it's quite a succsess" he said shutting down the screens.
ROBIN: "Thanks. So whats next"
SLADE: "Patience Robin patience. It might take months, years even to get them to realise how important you were to the team, so we will keep on repeating phase 1 until they trust you enough to let you back on the team"
"That's fine" said Robin shrugging his shoulders.
SLADE: "Good, now go and rest. Your next mission will commence in couple of hours"
"Who will I be fighting against this time" he inquired.
SLADE: "You will be fighting against Plasmus, Overload and Cinderblock"
"But isn't Cinderblock in jail" he asked confusedly
Slade chuckled "I know, thats why I am sending them to attack the prison to bail Cinderblock out"
Robin now understood his next mission "Good enough" he said and left the control room.
