Chapter Notes

There's going to be another quick clip from the Doom 3 game.

Chapter 5: The Ark

Mars City Level 3: November 15, 2145, 12:16 P.M.

Everyone was doing their business in the hallway. Alex on the other hand was sitting on the bench recording his audio log on his PDA.

Alex: "This is the audio log of Alexander Kelly dated November 15, 2145. Things are O.K. so far this morning. First of all, I greeted Swan on his visit to Mars. Of course, he's only here to investigate the strange happenings going on. In fact he brought a bodyguard to protect him incase things don't go well. And you never guess who it is, Jack Campbell. That guy was supposed to be retired, but I guess he has to do one more mission before he can hang up his gun, if he has one. On a liter note, the Titans woke up and I was the one to interview the Titans about what's going on in the UAC. I told them about the facility, how they got here, the whole Terra problem, and the environmental change on the Earth. So far, they took it well, I think. But one thing that's still bothering me. When I told them about what happened to their planet they seem a little depressed. I mean for a bunch of teenagers with super powers that heard about their former friend turning their city into ground zero and then having it changed into a frozen wasteland years later, I don't blame them. But their reactions seem a lot different from the other patients that wake up from a cryogenic state. I don't know what but It seems that there's something going on in their heads. Oh well, at least it's nothing."

Alex looked up and saw the overhead directory, one pointing to the right saying Records Office and another pointing to the left saying Security Core.

Alex: "But it wouldn't hurt to check it out."

Alex stopped recording his audio log, stands up, and walked to the direction leading to the Security Core.

Mars City Level 3, Security Core: November 15, 2145, 12:22 P.M.

Inside the Security Core, security personnel were around the place looking at monitors and standing around guarding the area. Outside the core, through the core's windows were two scientists and an employee standing on a moving lift carrying them to one of the four sectors, three at the top and one at the bottom below the catwalk entrance. Back in the core, one of the officers, Bill Rodriguez was sitting at the console looking at the security monitor and clicking on the level and sector of the area. Then he heard a call on his CB radio next to the computer screen.

Security Officer 6: "This is Jason from Delta. We request security and marine personnel to Level 4 and they need to have access to MG-88 Enforcer machine guns and Mach-2 chain guns."

Bill Rodriguez: "Permission granted. Your request will be there in a half an hour."

Jason: "Thank you."

Bill then heads back to the monitor watching everyone's movement when suddenly-

Alex: "BILLY!"

Bill jumped off his seat and panic when he saw Alex laughing his ass off. He then sighed and was a little pissed off on Alex's little joke.

Alex: "Oh man! I can't believe I got you off guard."

Bill Rodriguez: "Damn it Alex you almost gave me a fucking heart attack!"

Alex: "I'm sorry Billy but damn that was funny."

Bill Rodriguez: "Just don't do it O.K., everyone getting a little worked up here since the rumors have been spreading."

Alex: "I'll remember that. So what's up with the updated security in Delta?"

Bill Rodriguez: "They need security and marine backup in Level 4 and they must carry chain guns and machine guns."

Alex: "Level 4? Is that where the main teleporter is at?"

Bill Rodriguez: "Yeah I guess so?"

Alex was in deep thought knowing that something is wrong here.

Bill Rodriguez: "So what brings you the core Al? It's not likely that you come here often?"

Alex decided to leave the Delta problem behind and looked at Bill.

Alex: "I know you heard that I'm the Titans guardian right?"

Bill Rodriguez: "So…"

Alex: "So I have to I have to keep an eye on them, which means that I have to borrow one of the security monitors for a second."

Bill Rodriguez: "Sorry Alex but the security monitors is used for security personnel only. If you wish I could help you out, just give the place where the Titans are."

Alex: "Very well. I told the Titans to get some lunch at the Common Area at Level 1."

Bill Rodriguez: "Then the Common Area it is."

Bill took a seat at his usual position and looked at the monitor. He used his mouse to click on the Level 1 button on the level section and then the Common Area button in the sector section. The screen next to icon buttons showed a video feed a cafeteria like room with a small kitchen with a corner table and a TV hanging above the sink, a snack dispenser, two soda vending machines, tables and chairs for people to sit and eat, a window showing the outside of the Mars surface, and an arcade game at the corner. Looking at the video feed, Alex saw the Teen Titans almost finish their meal, but they were also talking about something. The problem is that he can't hear what they say.

Alex: "What are they talking about?"

He looked at Bill

Alex: "Bill, is the audio off?"

Bill Rodriguez: "Yep."

Alex: "Then turn it on."

Bill Rodriguez: "I can't. Ever since the rumors started to spread, Sarge ordered us to turn off all-"

Alex: "Yeah well I'm his son and I said turn it on. Besides what punishment is there to turn on one audio feed?"

Bill was a little hesitant on this since Alex is the son of a proud Sergeant, Thomas Kelly. He decided to swallow his pride and made his decision.

Bill Rodriguez: "Fine, I'll do it. But if I get caught, it's all your fault."

Bill then clicked on the icon that reads, "Audio Off". Once it says it's on, the two heard the voices of the Titans on the screen.

Cyborg: "I still can't believe that were in the future in the first place. I mean one minute we were all taken out and then the next minute, we're in another time on a different planet. This doesn't make any sense."

Robin: "Cyborg, remember what Alex said. Our president saved our lives by putting us in those cryo chambers. We could be thankful that he gave us a second chance in life."

Mars City Level 1, Common Area: November 15, 2145, 12:24 P.M.

In the Common Area, the Titans were still talking at the table. Two of the security guards were keeping an eye on them the same time a security camera attached to the ceiling was looking at the conversation's taking place.

Starfire: "I agree, but that doesn't bear the fact that where we are. We're farther from the past, everyone that we know is gone, and we don't have a home to go to. I don't want to be on this time, I want to go back to where we were."

Raven: "Don't blame yourself Starfire; none of us didn't expect this in the first place. Now the only person you can blame that got us in this mess is Terra."

Beast Boy: "No Raven, don't start this again. Let's just drop the subject O.K.?"

Rae looked at Beast Boy and was glaring daggers.

Raven: "No. I'm not dropping the subject; to me this Terra problem is 24/7. She was responsible to bringing us here in the first place. She turned our trust against us, gives Slade our weaknesses, and treated us like dirt."

Cyborg: "She has a point BB. She took us by surprise and then took us down in an instant."

Beast Boy: "That's not true."

Starfire: "She almost annihilated us."

Beast Boy: "THAT'S A LIE!"

Raven quickly covered Beast Boy's mouth while the rest of the team looked at the few people who were staring questionly at the Titans. As soon as they got back to their own business, Raven removed her hand from Beast Boy's face and then Robin looked at him angrily.

Robin: "I'm going to say this one time. Keep your voice down."

Beast Boy looked down and tightened his fists on the table.

Beast Boy: "How did this happen? Terra is supposed to be our friend. She's a sweet, innocent, wonderful person. How could she do something like that?"

Raven: "Beast Boy, you saw the truth with your own eyes. Terra betrayed us when she gave Slade our flaws and defenses, even turned Titans Tower into a war zone. And to make matters worse, she tried to kill us while we were busy handling with three of the most notorious criminals in Jump City and she didn't hesitate to do so. Truly a stab in the back on my point of view."

Beast Boy: "How could you say that Raven? Terra is the most kind-hearted person I've ever known. She will never do anything like that."

Cyborg: "She doesn't seem kind-hearted to me. Terra wanted us to die when she has the chance. And to what Alex said, it proves she's too dangerous to be trusted."

Beast Boy: "But still, we can't just give up on her. Our friend could still be there underneath her metal armor. If we can just-"

Robin: "She admitted it Beast Boy."

Beast Boy looked at Robin with a shocked expression on his face after hearing Robin.

Beast Boy: "What?"

Robin: "You heard me; Terra told me the truth before she executed me. She told me that she wanted to be with Slade, to be his apprentice and to destroy us. We were stupid enough to let her in the Tower, make her a Titan, and become a friend. To her, we are nothing but rats that walked into a trap without noticing it."

Cyborg: "Well it's official; she's no longer a Titan."

Starfire: "Nor she is our friend."

Raven: "She is our worst enemy."

Robin: "And like all enemies, she has to be taken down, even if it means we have to kill her to do so."

Beast Boy stood up from his seat after what his friends said and protested against it.

Beast Boy: "You can't do that! She's my friend!"

Robin then stood up and tried to reason with his teammate.

Robin: "Friend? She tried to kill us. How can she be our friend after what she done to us?"

Beast Boy: "No matter what happened, there's still little hope left in her. We can't just lose her."

Robin: "We gave her one more chance Beast Boy, and look what happened to us. Now because of her were stuck in a different time on Mars! Now she pissed us off in a big way, she's going down."

Beast Boy: "Well maybe if you haven't told her that her powers were unstable in the first place, we wouldn't be in this mess."

Robin: "I told you about this before, I just found out and I didn't know she kept it a secret. But that was in the past; right now we have to find a way to bring both Slade and Terra down for good."

Beast Boy: "All right Boy Blunder then tell me this. If you want to take Terra down permanently, how are we going to get back there?"

Robin stood there quiet after hearing Beast Boy's question. Beast Boy smiled and walked towards him.

Beast Boy: "Incase you haven't noticed, we're in a facility on another planet, our home is now an icy grave, and Terra and Slade is dead. How are we going to get our revenge if we're far away from our time?"

Robin: "We'll find a way. Some day, we'll search for a way to get back to our own time and we'll give them a little payback."

Beast Boy: "And even if we get back, you think killing Terra would solve anything?"

Robin stared at Beast Boy very coldly.

Beast Boy: "Look, I know you're obsessed with Slade when you became his apprentice, but you can't use your anger against her. Terra made some bad choices in her life but what she did were just accidents. She's a troubled girl gifted and cursed with special powers and a heart of gold. She can't be evil, she can't…"

Raven: "But she is."

Robin: "I know you care about Terra Best Boy, but she's working for Slade and we can't just let her get away with it. Once we find a way back we going to take them down."

Beast Boy: "But I don't want to hurt her."

Robin: "We have no choice."

Beast Boy: "I have! I don't care if all of you love or hate her, she's my friend and you can't force me to. I'm going to save her and there's nothing you can do to stop me!"

Robin: "Is this the part where I suppose to get intimidated?"

Beast Boy: "No, this is!"

Beast Boy suddenly morphs into a gorilla and was going to slam Robin with his fists. Luckily, Robin jump flipped backwards to avoid the impact. Everyone who is at the common area was freaking out and left the place in a hurry, leaving only the two security guards behind.

Back at the Security Core, Bill and Alex watch in horror to see two Titans fighting each other.

Bill Rodriguez: "Oh shit!"

Bill quickly turn on the radio com to get some help.

Bill Rodriguez: "All units on Level 1 we got a situation at the Common Area. Any units near the area should get there ASAP! Use extreme caution!"

Heading back to the Common Area, Beast Boy and Robin were still duking it out with the other Titans standing up in shock to see two of their friends fighting each other. Beast Boy swung his ape like arms at the Boy Wonder but he avoided the hits and somersaulted backwards and landed five feet away from the Changeling. Robin then took out his retractable Bo staff and twisted it around, ready to attack his own teammate when they heard clicking sounds from behind. Robin turned around and saw six security guards aiming their pistols, shotguns, and machine guns at them. The rest of the team wanted to help but afraid that they will get hurt as well.

Security Officer 7: Stop! "Don't do anything stupid!"

Robin lowered his staff while at the same time Beast Boy changed back to his human self. One of the guards that was protecting the Titans temporarily poised his weapon and carefully approached Robin.

Security Officer 5: "Now we don't want to shoot you, but it's our duty to keep this facility from tearing apart. In case you don't know, this installation is having a tough time as of late and you two fighting each other isn't making this any better. Either control yourselves or we have to take drastic steps. It's your choice."

Robin and Beast Boy looked at each other and knew that fighting won't solve anything. Robin then put away his Bo staff and approached Beast Boy to give him a friendly hug. The guards lowered their weapons, sighed in relief and they left except for the two officers guarding the team. Robin looked at Beast Boy's face and noticed tears coming down his cheeks.

Beast Boy: "I'm sorry, I didn't know what came over me."

Robin: "It's O.K. Beast Boy. You were angry about Terra's betrayal and of what transpired. No matter what happens, we'll still be a team, and as a team we have to work together, even if it means we have to fight someone that we thought was a friend of ours. One way or another we'll find a way back and take back what's rightfully ours, I promise."

The rest of the Titans joined Robin and Beast Boy and comforted them.

In the Security Core, Bill lay back on his chair and sighed, knowing the worst is over.

Bill Rodriguez: "Thank God that's over. Man they were going to tear the place apart. What do you think Alex?"

But when Bill turned his head, Alex wasn't there.

Bill Rodriguez: "Alex? Huh… Where did he go?"

In one of the hallways, Alex was power walking with so many thoughts in his head.

Alex: "I don't believe it. They want to be back to their own time? This is a real situation we have here. I better talk to my dad about this right away."

He quickly headed to his room to call his dad about the problem that's already developing.

Mars City Level 3, Alex's Room, November 15, 2145, 12:45 P.M.

Alex was back in his room sitting at his desk and talking to his father on the computer, which has the vidcom program installed in the hard drive.

Sergeant Kelly: "What do you mean, "The Teen Titans want to be back at their own time instead of here"?"

Alex: "Dad, please listen to me. I was at the Security Core, you know, to keep my eye on the Titans. They had a fight at the Common Area down at level one. I saw the whole thing through the security camera. Also I heard them say that they want to kill Terra and-"

Sergeant Kelly: "You heard them? You mean to tell me you had the audio feed on? Alex, my son, you of all people know that it's illegal to use the audio feed to ease drop on anyone, ever since the rumors started spreading through out the entire UAC base."

Alex: "I understand that dad, but I have no choice in the matter. Besides, I heard the sound of their voices and they're desperate. They want to head back to their past and settle things once and for all. Please dad, you have to help them get back so that they can get some major payback."

Sergeant Kelly: "I just can't do that. The Titans are not my responsibility they're yours. Besides, we already have plans for them."

Alex: "What do you mean we? And what kind of plans are you talking about?"

Sergeant Kelly: "After the Titans were discovered, the Board of Directors on Earth were kind of interested in them. Their powers and abilities were quite special and their strengths are quite incredible. After going through the history files in the achieves, the Board agreed and sign some contracts stating that they will be part of the Military program."

Alex: "Military program? You mean to tell me that they're test subjects?"

Sergeant Kelly: "Please don't consider it the wrong way. You see, the Teen Titans are quite an extraordinary team, but their special gifts could be quite useful in the near future. Picture if you will, new and improve plasma guns that can fire green star bolts and telekinetic grapplers that will even lift the heaviest objects. Highly advance weaponry that will give our marines the added firepower they need. Mechanical limbs that can form into cannons and rocket launchers at will. And combining human with animal DNA to help heel any wound critical to anyone, like a lizard or a starfish. Imagine the possibilities. This could be one more step to the future."

Alex was quite the whole time during Kelly's talk and deep inside; he was surprised and angry at the same time. He then said something in an icy cold tone.

Alex: "Dad, why wasn't I informed of this? I'm their guardian, I should know everything."

Sergeant Kelly: "There are some secrets you don't want to know. We kept this project confidential for some time and we didn't want anyone to know anything about this. Even if you are a guardian, you are not allowed to know this project; you're just here to protect the Titans."

Alex: "But think about what you're doing. The team went through a horrible experience and you want to use them as weapons for the Military Division? Dad if you put them through all those experiments, you'll kill them."

Mars City Level 1, Command HQ Control: November 15, 2145, 12:47 P.M.

At Command HQ, Kelly was talking to his son on the vidcom on one of the screens.

Sergeant Kelly: "I know it's risky but that's a chance we have to take. They are strong enough to survive the tests and operations, I'm pretty sure they can handle it."

Alex: "Handle it? The way you're saying it, you're going to murder them. I won't allow it! I request you terminate those contracts at once!"

Sergeant Kelly: "Son, you're in no condition to tell me what to do. I'm you're father and a Sergeant of the Marine Division. Besides, I'm not in charge of the Titans future; it's the Board of Directors."

Alex: "Well they can't do that, they're human beings and an alien. I'm going to file a complaint to the Board about this at once."

Sergeant Kelly: "You do that; it will be the last thing you ever do. The Board finalized the contracts two years ago; therefore they cannot be terminated even by force. If you file a complaint to them, they kick you out of the facility, and I don't want it. You are my only son in this family since your mother died and I don't want to lose you like last time."

Alex: "I know that but still I don't know want to lose them like I did with Jim. They're going to kill the Titans, just like what Beturger's doing, killing people for his ridiculous experiments in Delta. I'm here to protect them, am I right?"

Sergeant Kelly: "That is true, but that doesn't mean you have no right take on the Board about this. I'm sorry son, but I have no choice. I wish I can help, but there's nothing I can do."

Sarge looked at the security monitor next to the vicom monitor and noticed the new marine recruit walking through the Marine Command heading to HQ. He then looked back at the vidcom.

Sergeant Kelly: "Listen Alex, we'll talk about this later on. Right now, I got a job to do."

Kelly was about to push the button while Alex kept talking.

Alex: "Wait dad, we're not done yet. I still need to talk to you about this problem. Don't even-"

But Kelly pushed the button and the vidcom program disappeared, replaced with a map viewing all of Mars terrain.

Sergeant Kelly: "God damn it, what was I thinking. I should've known better then to keep a secret like that to my son. Please forgive me Alex."

Suddenly the door behind him opened up and the new marine showed up waiting for the Sarge's order. The Sarge looked at the Marine and had a sour look on his face.

Sergeant Kelly: "Took your sweet time marine?"

Back at Alex's room, Alex was still sitting on his chair, head on his desk, sulking to the fact of what transpired a few seconds ago.

Alex: "They can't do that. They just can't do that! If the Board wants to fire Betruger, fine, go ahead and do that. But they can't treat the Titans like some guinea pigs, it's not fair! I can't let them do that. But how am I going to convince them when all the contracts are official? It's hopeless…"

Alex continued crying when sat up and looked at the newspaper clippings on the walls. Each of them showing many of the Titans exploits, from fighting monsters, apprehending criminals, to saving the city so many times before. After staring at the pictures for a minute, Alex realizes what to do.

Alex: "There's nothing you can do dad, but there's something I can."

He went back to the computer and started hacking the UAC mainframe, after a couple of tries; he managed to get in without a synch. He then searched through all the information needed about the entire facility. After a few minutes of searching, he was going to give up, until he spotted a restricted file in the Gamma Labs database. He doubled clicked it and it showed a text window on the left and a picture of a strange teleporter that's similar to the one in Star Trek on the right. He then read it out loud to understand what it is.

Alex: "Over the years the UAC sole purpose is to make Mars into a new Earth. But the problem is that materials are needed to make this dream a reality. And ever since the second Ice Age locating minerals and elements prove to be an impossible task. So in 2107, the UAC created a time teleporting device called, "The Ark". Functional, operational, and safe, the Ark is used to teleport six to seven people from the UAC to somewhere in the past on Earth, making it easier to collect materials and harvesting plants. One thing that this device does is to change the course of history. If anything ever happened like squishing a butterfly or killing an innocent being, the future will be altered creating many problems. UAC insisted that anyone using the Ark should never get involved in historical events or the results could be tragic. The Ark is place in Gamma Labs Level 3 and security clearance is needed to gain access."

Alex smiled knowing that this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. He kept searching and found the list of people who are working at the Ark. The list contained the names bios of scientists and maintenance workers and on the top right corner was a picture of the person's face. After looking at each picture he found one picture of a man in his early thirties with short black hair and grayish blue eyes.

Alex: "Hey! I know this guy, he always gather data in Level 2!"

He then looked at the name Harris V. Yolkoff and looked at the schedule. It reads he works in the data library in Mars City Level 2 from 1:00 P.M. to 2:30 P.M. and then works at the Time Transporter Chamber in Gamma Labs Level 3 from 3:00 to 5:00 P.M. Alex looked at his digital clock and it reads 1:52 P.M.

Alex: "Oh shit! I have to go before I lose him!"

Alex quickly left his room and hurried to the elevator to get to Level 2.

Mars City Level 2, Elevator Lobby: November 15, 2145, 2:05 P.M.

Alex was sitting on the bench in the waiting room, waiting for Harris to come. He looked at the clock and realized that its five minutes past two. He was reading a magazine and was getting a little nervous. That was until the elevator doors opened up and Harris walked into the lobby along with a few other people.

Harris V. Yolkoff: "God damn it, I'm late! This is the last time I ever eat a big lunch."

Harris walked down the lobby hallway and headed to the main lobby. Alex stood up and followed far behind Harris hoping not to get caught by him. After walking through many corridors, they both made it to the Data Library. Harris approached the entrance doorway and tried looking for the PDA in his lab coat pocket. Alex, on the other hand, was hiding at the corner peeking at his target and whispering to himself.

Alex: "He's at the entranceway. If only I can find a way to get his PDA away from him do that way I can download the information I need. There's got to be some thing that can work."

Alex looked around the area a noticed a vacant delivery cart filled with EXE boxes and saw a delivery robot giving a package to someone in one of the offices. Alex smiled as an idea popped inside his head. Back at the Data Library entrance, Harris found his PDA and was about to scan it on the mini monitor next to the door. When all of a sudden, he heard a rolling noise coming from his left. He turned his head to that direction and saw a runaway delivery cart heading towards his direction. Harris quickly jumped out of the way and landed hard on the floor with the cart hitting the end of the wall and boxes flying everywhere. Harris looked up and saw the mess.

Harris V. Yolkoff: "What the hell just happened?"

A deliver robot headed to the scene and saw Harris still lying there on the floor.

Delivery Robot 2: "Are you all right sir?"

Harris looked at the robot and was really pissed.

Harris V. Yolkoff: "Yeah, but what the fuck's wrong with you? You're suppose to be programmed in taking care and delivering the package, not making a mess of it."

Delivery Robot 2: "My apology for this mistake sir, but I was sure that the brake mechanism was on when I left it."

Harris V. Yolkoff: "Well next time do your job."

The delivery robot went to the cart to pick up the packages along with the other employees that saw what happened. Harris got up and stretched from the pain.

Harris V. Yolkoff: "Jesus Christ, why do we even have these robots in the first place? I don't get it."

Harris fixed up his lab coat when he noticed that he dropped something.

Harris V. Yolkoff: "Perfect…"

He looked around the area to see where he dropped it. It was then that a PDA was shown in front of him, his PDA. He then saw Alex's face with a smile on his face.

Alex: "Dropped something?"

Harris smiled back and grabbed the PDA of Alex's hand.

Harris V. Yolkoff: "Thank you; I don't know what I can do without this."

Harris then left Alex and headed to the Data Library. Alex then turned around and walked back to the Elevator Lobby still smiling.

Alex: "No Harris, thank you…"

Alex took out his PDA and looked at the screen that reads "Security Clearance Updated".

Mars City Level 1, Marine Command: November 15, 2145, 1:25 P.M.

Alex walked down the Marine Command hallway and approached two metal doors, one on the left labeled "247 M" and the one on the right labeled "245 M". 247 M leads into dorms and a Training Room and 245 M leads to more dorms and Weapons Research. Alex went into the first door and walked down the hallway filled with doors until he reached a wide metal door leading to the Training Room. Two of the doors opened up and down as he entered into the ready room where a few other marines were waiting to start their combat. They were all watching a huge monitor showing four split screens of a team fighting in the arena.

Marine Soldier 7: "Damn, they're good."

Marine Soldier 8: "I know. I heard they fight well in the history records, I never thought they would be this strong."

Marine Soldier 9: "I agree, they should be quite useful in the future."

Alex heard the conversation and joined the group to see the action on the screen. He was shock to see that the group that was in combat are the Teen Titans.

Inside the Combat arena, the Titans were all attacking laser guns, battle droids, and flying razor disks. Robin was throwing three exploding disks at the three razor disks and they exploded. Four androids appeared with stun rifles ready to fire. Robin took out his Bo staff from his utility belt and then poised it ready to fight. The droids quickly fired at Robin but he spinned his staff around to reflect the blasts. He then charged right in and attack the droids. Starfire was flying around the place with four more razor disks following after her. Starfire turned around and fire her star bolts at the disks. She was able to blow three of them, but the last one avoided her shots. Starfire then stopped flying, waiting for the razor disks to come close to her. Once it was close to her face, Starfire flew above it and used her eye beams to blast the final disk. She was glad she got through it when five mounted laser guns risen up from the ground and aimed at her. Starfire felt it coming and flew away while at the same time the lasers started firing at her. Raven then appeared out of nowhere and formed a shield to deflect the lasers. However, what she's doing is actually distract them, as if on cue, Beast Boy rammed all the mounted laser guns in his rhino form. He soon changed back but they were caught by surprised when three androids came and fire their stun rifles at Raven and Beast Boy.

Raven: "Azarath, Metrion, ZINTHOS!"

Raven used her dark magic to form black needles from her fingers and fired on them. The needles then slashed the droids to shreds. Suddenly, two huger androids had risen from the floor and started to attack the two Titans. But they didn't had a chance, as Cyborg hit the first droid through the chest and took out the operating core. With the first one down, he armed his Sonic Cannon at the second one and fired. But he missed the core and hit the chest instead. The droid aimed its proton cannon at the three only to get caught off guard by Robin and Starfie. Robin threw a few more exploding disks to open up the back and then Starfire threw a star bolt at the opening. Once the huge droid exploded on the inside, Starfire and Robin joined the rest of their friends, only to be introduced by ten more battle droids, five mounted laser guns, and twenty razor disks.

Robin: "Teen Titans, GO!"

The team quickly charged in and attacked anything that moves. But what they didn't know is that there were some people that were looking at the Titans behind the wide mirror above them.

At the observation deck, three scientists were at the control console increasing the difficulty of the level for the Titans to fight from the other side. Two other people were watching the Titans every move from the see through window, those two people were Counselor Swan and Jack Campbell.

Counselor Swan: "Impressive, very impressive indeed. I never knew the Teen Titans could be that strong. I thought that after a long hibernation you think their abilities could be a little rusty."

Jack Campbell: "I don't know what the big deal is. They're just a bunch of kids."

Counselor Swan: "True, but these kids have unique abilities that can be useful for what we have in store for them. The Board will be quite pleased to hear about this."

Swan then looked at the scientist that was working on the control counsel that connects to the combat down there.

Counselor Swan: "End their training; I think they have enough for one day. I think its time we meet them in person."

Back at the Combat Arena, the Titans kept attacking droids, razor disks, and laser guns left and right. Suddenly a buzzing sound was heard all over the place and the robotic announcer on the speakers called the Titans.

Training session over…

The Titans stopped their training as androids, razor disks, and mounted laser guns went back to their usual places. Then the doors leading to the exit opened up. The team left the arena as a Marine team entered to start their training. As they were walking down, two people were waiting them, Swan and Campbell. Swan approached them clapping his hands in gratitude.

Councilor Swan: "Nicely done Titans. I saw you guys battling out at the Combat Arena and I got to say, you are quite amazing."

Robin: "Thanks; it's what we do when there's trouble on foot. We have to use as much teamwork as we can to put the criminals down. So you heard of us?"

Councilor Swan: "Well your guardian told us that you have awaken from your sleep and thought it would be best to visit you when we had the chance. My name is Counselor Elliot Swan and this is my bodyguard, Jack Campbell."

Campbell was courteous enough to offer a handshake and Robin accepts it and shook his hand.

Robin: "Pleasure to meet the two of you."

Jack Campbell: "It's a pleasure meeting you too."

They then let go of the handshake as Robin looked at Swan, wondering what's he doing here

Robin: "So Swan, what brings you here in the UAC?"

Councilor Swan: "I'm glad you ask Robin. You see, I've been sent by the Board to investigate the installation. There have been some strange things going on as of late."

Robin: "Really, what kind?"

Councilor Swan: "Well apparently this facility had a few temporary blackouts, equipment not responding, and there have been some rumors of people seeing and hearing strange things. Not to mention people disappearing from a couple of areas."

Robin and the others looked at each other knowing something is not right. Robin then looked at Swan again for an explanation.

Robin: "Any ideas how it's happening?"

Swan: "Well…"

Alex: "Hold up Swan, they've been awake for a couple of hours. Do you want them to have nightmares?"

Everyone looked at where the voice is coming from and saw Alex coming down the hallway.

Swan: "Alex, what an unexpected surprise. What are you doing here?"

Alex: "Now Swan, you know that I'm here to guard the Titans. Remember?"

Swan: "That's true but the Board wants to know everything, and the Titans are one of the many things they need to know. Don't worry about it, I'm just talking to them."

Alex: "That's nice and all but I need to give them a tour of the installation."

Swan: "Strange, I never knew you have access to the entire facility."

Alex: "Well you know my dad; he gives me anything I want."

Swan: "All right, I'll leave you guys alone. I'm going to head to Administration and start inspecting Alpha Labs, let's go Campbell."

Both Swan and Campbell left Alex and the Titans behind. Alex then looked at the Titans and gave them a pleasant smile.

Alex: "Well we certainly got him out of the way now did we? Well what are we waiting for? Let's go."

Alex and the Titans left the Training Room and walked down Marine Command hallway.

Starfire: "Guardian Alex, I have a question for you. In this tour do you think we can go to the Mall of Shopping?"

Alex: "First of all Starfire, there's no mall around here, no yet at least. And second, there's no tour."

Raven: "Then where are you taking us?"

Alex stopped there and looked at the Titans with a sly smile.

Alex: "I'm taking you guys back home."

Phew… That's it for chapter 5. A lot of work I put into this. I hope all this writing will get me some good reviews in the near future. On the next chapter, all Hell breaks lose, literally. Please Review.
