A/N: …it's official…I'm BORED! UGH! There isn't anything FUN TO DO! *le sob*Tell me young grasshoppers, what is there to do for fun? Nothing. Nada. Zip. While I'm having this…dilemma, I shall give you the er…fourth (?) chapter of More Than Just A Mask!
Chapter four: The Red Thief
A figure swooped down to the floor, landing like a bat. Its eyes scanned the area as though it was to make sure that it was alone and free of traps. Once it finished scanning, the burglar started to walk towards a stand that had a glass wall. It looked like it was protecting something in the inside.
And it was.
Even though it didn't seem much, the jewel that had the color of an Amethyst. However, this jewel seemed really important to the thief.
Its hand started to go towards it but stopped half way. The figure quickly turned its head around to scan one last time. When it was clear, he grabbed the jewel by creating a circle on the glass wall from a laser cutter. Smirking, he then quickly ran out of the building, leaving no trace behind.
:(/\):
"Once again this was too easy." the thief said as he an on the streets of Jump City. He then turned a corner only to come up ahead with a four intersection.
"Looks like the Titans aren't here—"
"You sure? Because you might want to rethink your thoughts." a voice said.
It halted the thief in his tracks and on the other side, ahead of him were none other than the four Titans.
The thief raised an eyebrow before he let out his signature smirk. "Ah, the Titans. I was beginning to think that I wouldn't have my—"
Without so much of a warning, something hard smacked at the thief from the side, making him to "move out of the way." This alerted the Titans but one of them had its calm expression.
Cyborg blinked from the sudden attack then turned to face Raven.
"Yo! Are you trying to break him into pieces?" Cyborg exclaimed.
Raven shot him an uncaring look and shrugged. "He was boring me."
Meanwhile, on the other side of the road, the burglar groaned with pain once the object was moved. The thing that attacked the criminal just so happened to be a bus.
"Next time, give me a warning of when you're going to use a bus." the thief mumbled.
"I don't do warnings. Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" Raven chanted her magical words. Lamp posts and mailboxes were engulfed with dark magic and they were hurling towards the masked boy.
Quickly, the burglar jumped out of the way in time and just as the objects flew into the building, the boy threw three disks towards the Goth Titan. Raven had her eyes wide but even though they were half way, a shot of blue streak blasted the three disks.
Raven turned around to see Cyborg who had a triumph grin on his face.
"You're gonna have to do better than that." he stated.
The opponent quirked an eyebrow before he let out a charging yell then threw a series of punches and kicks; all of which Cyborg blocked.
However, as the burglar threw a punch, Cyborg dodged it by moving to the side then he grabbed his belt and pulled towards him.
"Any last words before we send you to jail?" Cyborg asked, grinning.
The thief blinked before he too placed on an amusing smile. "Yeah I wouldn't stand there if I were you."
"Huh?"
The thief placed his foot on his chest then did a flip over his head. There was beep then a blast and that made smoke to arise.
Once the smoke was cleared, it revealed Cyborg who was buried underneath dust of sands.
"Hey what the—lemme go!" Cyborg protested, trying to free himself but it was futile.
The criminal then turned around to face the nearly buried robot. "Sorry but I can't help you there—oof!"
Something hard smacked at him, sending him to fly backwards then finally tumbled down the road.
"As Cyborg would say, boo ya!" the familiar voice replied, laughing.
Irritated, the half robot growled. "YO grass stain! Instead of goofing, HOW ABOUT YOU UNBURY ME!?"
Snapping out of his victorious state, Beast Boy looked down. "Oh…er sorry."
Cyborg growled.
On the other hand, the criminal pushed himself up so that he was on his knees and placed a hand on his forehead to try to clear out the daze. Sensing that he wasn't alone, he looked up only to see that alien girl.
He placed on a crooked smile. "The Alien girl…well, well."
"Please, my name is Starfire." she replied, flying gently down.
"Yo Star! You don't say your name to a criminal!" Cyborg shouted, growling.
Just by looking at the thief, it really made Cyborg to just rip his limps and feed him to the sharks.
"You attack him!" with a yell, Cyborg shot out his sonic cannon.
The robber who had just gotten up, he brushed the dust off his sleeve but then, he quickly made a jump backwards in order to avoid the blue streak that blasted at the ground. The way the criminal had jumped, it really did look like that it actually struck him…by an inch.
The burglar then moved his head to the side and continued to avoid the assaults that were made from Raven by doing flips and such. As it soon as Raven's attacks ended, there were another series of attacks and it came from Starfire who was continuously shooting her starbolts.
Because they were so many starbolts, once again, it made the smoke to arise. There were a few close calls in hitting at the criminal but they were at the side. The masked robber placed his hands in front of his face as a shield so that he wouldn't really be blinded from the smoke.
Using this as a great opportunity, Cyborg ran at the smoke to create a sneak attack. When it was starting to be clear, the robber lowered his hands down but he didn't had the time to react because a punch was coming at his way and it made contact with his jaw.
Since it was a powerful jaw, it forced the burglar to fall down. Without losing a second, the thief immediately got up and got out his two birdarangs and formed them into a sword.
This surprised Cyborg since he didn't saw this coming but he didn't show it.
Too bad.
The burglar noticed it.
"Surprised?" he grinned.
Cyborg narrowed his eyes then placed a crooked smile. "Can you even use a sword?"
Just from that simple remark, it made the robber to charge at him. Smirking, Cyborg blocked all the moves by using his metal arm and since the robber was moving forward, it made the Titan to go backwards.
"Don't waste all your energy. Because you can't attack me!" Cyborg replied gleefully.
The boy then stopped only to get out a grappling hook. While Cyborg raised an eyebrow in confusion, the thief placed on a smile. It wasn't a nice smile. He then fired the grapple which tied around Cyborg and with a strong pull, it made him to timber down.
"Ha. You're not so invincible against a rope, are you?" he laughed, making Cyborg to be irritated.
Seeing this, the intruder replied.
"Oh cheer up, you'll escape…eventually."
Growling with rage, Cyborg yelled out. "Titans, go after that twit!"
"Oooh…not very nice—woah!"
Just in time, the opponent dodged the pole that was an inch of hitting him in the face. Lucky for him, it only brushed past his face by an inch.
Before Beast Boy or Starfire could attack, he flipped backwards then held a small disk in his hand while placing on a smile.
"For the record, the name's Robin."
With that, he threw the disk at the ground which caused to have smoke. When it was clear, he was gone.
A/N: heheh…I love having Robin to toy them around XD and this chapter proves that he—like Cyborg said—has skills of a ninja. Gah, he's so cocky XD Next chapter will be about Cyborg's Trap! Whose ready for that?!
