Chapter 15
-Day of the wedding-
Argent was standing in front of a mirror, looking at her wedding dress. To say that she was nervous was an understatement. She had been waiting for this day for so long and now that the day was here, she felt nervous, yet happy that she can finally spend rest of her life with Beast boy.
She spun around couple of times to get full view of her dress. She wanted to look perfect for when she heads out to the church and gets married to him. She was thinking about how lucky she was to have a wonderful person like Beast boy. He has been nothing, but a gentleman towards her, he never shout at her, he always treat her with respect and holds her like she was a piece of glass, that if gets dropped would break into millions of pieces.
She suddenly remembered something that happened 2 weeks ago. She remembered how Beast boy had burst through the door and caught Aqualad trying to flirt with her. A smile spread across her face as she remembered every single detail of how angry Beast boy got with him. "Shouldn't have tried to mess with me" she giggled. To her that event proved exactly how much Beast boy loved her.
Her thoughts were cut short by as someone nocked on the door.
ARGENT: "Come in" she sighed.
The door slid open, revealing a usual bubbly Tamerainian princess. Argent glanced at her with a nervous smile as she entered the room and said "Friend Argent It's time we go to the altar". Argent smiled, getting butterflies in her stomach. As she walked up to Starfire, she asked "How do I look".
STARFIRE: "Oh friend Argent you look great, don't be nervous. This is a joyous occasion" she replied, grabbing hold of her arm. Before they left Argent took one last look at the mirror to make sure that she was fine.
as they left the room she said to herself mentally 'Don't be nervous, this is going to be the best day of your life. You are getting married to the love of your life' When Starfire saw Argent spaced out, she asked if she was ok, which snapped her out of her thoughts. She nodded and said "yeah i'm fine. Just a bit nervous"
STARFIRE: "Do not worry my friend it is natural to be nervous at the events like this" she said, putting a comforting hand on Argents shoulder.
-At the altar-
Beast boy and Argent stood side by side as the preacher got on with the ceremony. The room was filled with honorary titans. There was titans east, Beast boy's team and the original titans. Doom patrol couldn't come as they were currently on a mission, taking down brotherhood of evil. Beast boy was a little disappointed, when they told him that, but cheered up eventually. Next to argent stood Starfire as her bridesmaid, while next to Beast boy stood Cyborg as his best man.
The only person that had refused to come was Robin. He had told Beast boy that he didn't want to come as he had more personal matters to take care of. When Beast boy heard that his ears drooped as he realised that he was making up excuses and left the main room, without saying another word.
Beast boy was slightly sweating. It wasn't because it was hot in there, it was because he was really nervous, and his body decided to show it to everyone. His eyes were darting around the room quite a few times. When his eyes drifted past one of the many windows, which was located behind the preacher, he saw a dark figure jump past it. He at first shrugged it off as his imagination acting up from his nervousness, but he was wrong as there really was someone lurking around the building. What he was unaware of was that they all were moments away from danger.
as the preacher asked "Do you Garfield Logan take Antoni Monetti as your lawfully wedded wife" there was a loud explosion heard from the roof. Moments later the roof caved in, narrowly missing Argenna. Dust filled the room as a wave of panic spread across the room. Beast boy and Argent turned around quickly to see if Argenna was alright. When they saw her, Beast boy quickly ran up to her and picked her up. He held her to his chest as Argent and Beast boy ran out of the deatroyed church. He gave her to Argent and told her to go back to the tower. Before she left, she gave him a one final kiss and said "be careful, I want you back in one piece" and flew off. All around the city the alarms started to go off.
Argent didn't complain and left the scene as quickly as possible for the sake of Argenna safety. She hated that she had to leave Beast boy in danger, but she knew that he had to stay behind and help others out.
After Beast boy helped everyone out of the destroyed church, he ran up to Cyborg and asked "what's going on"
CYBORG: "We have multiple attacks happening all around the city at once" he exclaimed
BEAST BOY: "What" he shouted
Cyborg used his scanner to scan the entire city and found "We have Hive 5 robbing the bank, plasmus attacking a chemical factory, Cinderblock busting into the prison, while Overload attacking the mall and Slades robot army is randomly destroying the downtown. There also has been sightings of Red X, but I can't find him" he said, anger clearly present on his face.
BEAST BOY: "It's a planned attack to ruin my wedding. Alright team, here's what we are going to do" "Raven" he said, pointing towards her while she didn't even look at his way as he gave her the instructions. "you and Starfire go and take down Plasmus"
RAVEN: "Whoa who made you the boss" she said glaring at him, clearly not happy with this
Beast boy glared at her back "I don't know what's your deal, but now is not the time to discuss it. Somebody had just ruined my wedding and whoever caused this will pay dearly" he growled at her
RAVEN: "Whatever" she said icily, grabbing Starfire by her dress, dragging her away from fuming Beast boy.
RAGE: "How dare he tell us what to do" she screamed, trying to break out of her cage that Brave and Love had locked her in.
Others stared at him, surprised about his attitude change as he suddenly acted like a great leader. He was a lot more cleverer than others gave him credit for.
BEAST BOY: "Cyborg" he barked, getting his attention "You, Kole and Gnark go after Cinderblock" Cyborg nodded, seeing the seriousness on his face and left without saying a single word.
BEAST BOY: "Aqualad. You and speedy take care of Overload, as water seems to be his weakness" he growled at Aqualad with hateful tone. He still didn't forgive him after he had caught him trying to flirt with Argent 2 weeks ago.
Aqualad will remember that day for rest of his life as he has a huge set of claw marks running down his entire back. He nodded and left in fear.
BEAST BOY: "Red Star. You and Bumblebee go and distract Hive 5 until more help is on the way."
BEAST BOY: "Mas y Menos. You two are coming with me. We are going to take down Slades robot army" with that said all of the titans left the scene, going after their assigned enemies.
-Red X (moments before the attack)-
He was sneaking around the church, trying to find the place where Argent and Beast boy stood. After minute or so he found the altar, where his primary target was standing. He tried to jump onto the roof unnoticeably, but when he noticed Beast boy briefly glancing towards him, he realised that he had been caught and had to do his task quickly. "damn" he muttered quietly, annoyed that he was caught. As he jumped onto the roof, he took 3 explosives of of his belt and planted them onto 3 different spots on the roof. He stood couple of metres back from the explosives and pulled out the detonator.
SLADE: "Are the preparations ready" he said through the earphone.
RED X: "yes, commence with phase 3" with that said in altered mechanical tone. He flipped the switch on the detonator and detonated all of the explosives, causing the roof to cave in. He then switched to invisibility mode to observe his primary targets movement and follow her, if needed. Moments after he heard a wave of panic as the people ran out of the church.
He saw his primary target fleeing the scene. He noticed that she was flying towards the tower, holding Argenna tightly to her chest. He decided to teleport to the tower and give her a surprise attack. He pressed the button on his belt and vanished into thin air.
As Argent was fleeing the scene, she heard alarms and explosions going off all around the city. She knew that it had to be a planned attack. Today was going to be a long night for the rest of the titans. She wasn't sure who planned it or what the severity of the situation was. All she knew was that she had to get her baby to safety and the only place she knew that was safe was the tower.
As argent entered the main room, she heard a noise. She set Argenna down and immediately and got into a battle pose. "Who's there" she growled. She looked around the main room, hoping to find the intruder. As she glanced towards one of the dark corner, she saw a dark figure walking out of the shadows. Fear spread through her body, but she didn't show it as she believed it to be a weakness. "Who are you" she barked at the figure.
Moments after she saw a figure raising his hand towards her. His hand glowed red for a moment as he fired a sticky red X towards her. The sticky X hit her and stuck her onto the wall behind her. Moments after she was injected with some type of serum. When she tried to use her powers she couldn't. The sticky X had stuck her hands together, making it unable to protect herself. "Now, Now. That's not the way to treat your guests now is it" said Red X. He grabbed hold of Argent and Argenna and left the tower, dropping a CD on the floor with instructions on it.
-With Aqualad and Speedy-
Speedy ran circles around Overload, keeping him distracted while Aqualad was getting ready to take him down with water.
Speedy jumped up, dodging Overloads electric hand. As he jumped he turned around in the air and took out one of the explosive arrow and shot it towards Overload as he shouted "Now". The arrow hit Overload in the head, stunning him temporarily.
This was a moment that Aqualad had been waiting for. He clenched his hands, breaking couple of water pipes under the floor, sending a stream of water at Overload. Before Overload could do anything, water had hit him, making him shrink in size, until there was only a chip left.
As Speedy was calling the police he told Aqualad to inform Beast boy.
AQUALAD: "What, why me" He exclaimed, clearly annoyed with the archer.
SPEEDY: "firstly because i'm calling for the police to pick up Overload and secondly its quite funny to make you suffer, since Beast boy caught you flirting with Argent"
Aqualad muttered something under his breath as he took out hid communicator and contacted Beast boy "Overloads been taken care of" he said, avoiding eye contact.
BEAST BOY: "Good job fish boy, now go and help Bumblebee at the bank" he growled, not wanting to speak to him any further. He wondered, why did he even invite Aqualad to his wedding. Before Aqualad could say another word, Beast boy had shut the communicator and continued on fighting the army of Slades robots.
Aqualad sighed depressedly and headed out with Speedy to help Bumblebee take down Hive 5.
-With Cyborg, Kole and Gnark-
As Cyborg was about to charge up his sonic cannon, Cinderblock had pulled back his fist and punched Cyborg in the face. Cyborg flew across the street, further away from the jail.
CYBORG: "Man is it just me or has Cinderblock become more powerful" he grumbled as he got up.
KOLE: "It's just you" she shouted, "Now come here and help us" with that said she turned into a diamond, while Gnark grabbed her by her legs, jumping on top of Cinderblock, bashing his head multiple times. After several blows to the head Cinderblock began to tumble backwards as multiple hits made him slightly dizzy.
Cyborg used this as his advantage. "get out of the way" he shouted as his shoulders extended outwards. He shot a set of rockets out of his shoulders. It was a direct hit, which nocked Cinderblock out. Cyborg grabbed couple of lamp posts and wrapped them around Cinderblocks body to prevent him from getting up.
CYBORG: "BOOYAH" He shouted his usual victory phrase. "Kole. Why don't you call Beast boy, while I make sure that Cinderblock gets delivered to jail. She nodded in agreement, taking her communicator out of her pocket and called Beast boy. An image of Beast boy appeared on the communicator. There was some smoke around him. There also was shots and explosions heard in the distance.
BEAST BOY: "Were kinda busy here. What do you want" he asked impatiently.
KOLE: "Sorry" she said apologetically "we've just finished taking care of Cinderblock. Where do you want us to go next" she asked in a soft sweetly tone, which changed Beast boys mood slightly.
BEAST BOY: "Good job Kole. Why don't you and Cyborg come and help us, since I sent Fish boy and speedy help bumblebee" he asked with a slight smile.
KOLE: she nodded and said "We're on our way boss" with that she closed her communicator and told Cyborg that they should go and help Beast boy.
-With Raven and Starfire-
Raven and Starfire had been battling Plasmus for about 20 minutes now and everything that they tried or at least Starfire tried didn't have much effect on him. Raven was mostly just wasting time, by just throwing random objects at him, like lamp posts and pieces of concrete.
She knew that she could end this fight right now, but she didn't want to, so she decided to waste time so she wouldn't have to speak with Beast boy or Argent. She hated Argent for stealing her man away, but was only mad with Beast boy because he had broken her heart. She knew that what she was doing could potentially put her team mate in danger and eventually decided to put a stop to this.
When she saw Plasmus shot Starfire with a jet of purple goo, she decided to end it. She took a meditative position and chanted her usual mantra and separated her body. Her spirit entered plasmus, moments later Plasmus exploded and left a sleeping man on the ground.
STARFIRE: "Good job friend" she praised her. With that she took out her communicator and let Beast boy know that they had succeeded in their mission. Beast boy ordered them to separate, as both his and Bumblebees teams needed desperate help to take down the villains.
Raven decided to head out to and help Bumblebee, so she could get further away from Beast boy while Starfire headed out to help Beast boy.
-With Bumblebee and Red Star-
Kyd Wykkyd teleported behind Bumblebee, with a surprise attack. He kicked bumblebee straight on her back, causing her to fall out of the sky. When she hit the ground, she quickly recovered. as she was about to take her stingers out, she saw Raven appear out of nowhere. Bumblebee notices that instead of her 2 usual eyes, she had 4 red ones. She knew not to get close to her as her demon side somehow managed to gain control of her. She opened the portal and transported Kyd wykkyd into another dimension, as he was the most annoying criminal for her to take down. After the portal closed her eyes turned back into her 2 normal purple orbs.
Aqualad broke couple of pipes and directed a stream of water towards Gizmo, which he had easily dodged, but when Aqualad broke more pipes around him and surrounded Gizmo with more than one stream of water, he wasn't so fortunate as his technology malfunctioned, when it came in contact with water.
Aqualad grabbed Gizmo by the front of his shirt and picked him up. He pulled his fist back. Before he punched Gizmo he said "one piece of advise, you should make your technology waterproof" with that said he punched Gizmo in the face, knocking him out cold.
Jinx and Billy numerous had already been dealt with moments before Raven has arrived to the scene. They were the most difficult ones to defeat as Billy could multiply countless times and Jinx used her sorcery to give some hard time for Red Star.
When Raven made sure that everyone was detained she remembered that she had just monents ago transported Kyd Wykkyd to another dimension. Her eyes widened as she quickly brought him back from one of the dimensions. When she opened the portal, very damaged, beaten and unconscious Kyd Wykkyd fell onto the floor. They gasped in horror as they were worried about his wellbeing. Before Raven could do anything more, Bumblebee stood in front of Kyd Wykkyd , facing Raven
BUMBLEBEE: "Raven where did you exactly send him" she barked.
Raven felt her rage nearly take control of her. She glared at her and said. "Exactly where this annoying pest belonged"
BUMBLEBEE: "And where might that be" she asked with a very angry look on her face.
RAVEN: "It's none of your business" She growled, teleporting away from the scene. Raven had to get back into the tower and meditate. She had to find out why her Rage kept taking control of her.
Bumblebee shook her head in disapproval as she picked him up and took him to the hospital, while others went back to the tower.
-With Beast boy and Mas y Menos-
Beast boy had been pulled away from the battle quite a few times now, as the teams called in, informing him of their successes. He started to get rather annoyed with it, but ignored it as he had more important things to take care of right now. He was starting to get out numbered by the huge amount Slades robots. Even the most powerful animal which Beast boy could turn into would have hard time protecting himself. As he morphed into a T Rex and was about to charge at them, Slades robots started to fall down onto the floor. He saw Mas and Menos speed through them.
BEAST BOY: 'Where the hell have they been' he mentally growled, although He was thankful that they had arrived at the right time, as he could have been destroyed. But he was mad at them because they had abandoned helping him at some point.
When he saw Starfire make her entrance with a battle cry, blasting every single Slades robot on her way. When he noticed Mas y Menos glancing at Starfire, he put two and two together 'Damn those kids. can't they leave her alone for one stinking second' he thought, as he realized that they must have gone to make sure that Starfire was alright.
Couple of minutes after fighting the robot army, they started to win battle as Slades robot army started to retreat from the city. As they made it to the border line of the city, they were stopped by Cyborg, Kole and Gnark as they blocked the robots paths, cornering the last of the Slades robots.
Cyborg charged up his sonic cannon, while Kole turned into diamond.
BEAST BOY: "lets finish this" He growled. "TITANS GO" With that said he morphed into a velociraptor and charged at the robots, while Cyborg fired his sonic cannon. Gnark picked kole up and ran at the robots, swinging wildly at the robots, demolishing everything in its path. Mas and Menos put their hands together and said their usual catch phrase and ran at the robots.
Few minutes after, they finally had destroyed the last robot and decided to get back to the tower to make sure that Argent was not hurt. They figured that others had everything under control.
- Back at the tower-
When they arrived back at the tower, they were surprised to find it empty. When they saw a disk on the floor labelled 'to Beast boy', they quickly put it into the dvd player. Beast boy was becoming more worried as they still hadn't found any sign or Argent or Argenna. When everyone made it back to the tower, they stopped searching for her and sat down onto the couch in the main room as Beast boy informed them about the situation, when Kole asked, "what is on the dvd"
Beast boy told them that they were going to find out right now as he didn't even know. He walked up to the dvd player and pressed play.
A/N: What instructions are on the disk, who is Red X, will Beast boy get Argent and Argenna back safely, will Robin finally get his revenge against Beast boy.
In the next chapter Beast boy will be fighting for his life. Will he survive or will he perish, trying to protect his family.
Expect a new chapter soon.
