Chapter Notes

The Vagary makes an appearance on this chapter, though she showed up on the last chapter. Guess I was a little over my head on it.

Chapter Thirteen: The Vagary

UAC Warehousing District, Storage Sector 2, November 15, 2145, 4:47 P.M.

Robin: "Titans, GO!"

The Vagary tossed the levitated barrels and crates straight to the team, but Raven formed a bubble shield to protect Alex and the Titans exploding barrels and smashed crates. Once the disaster was clear, everyone charged in for the first strike. Robin threw four exploding disks at the creature and they connected while Cyborg planted his cannon straight to the concrete ground that it made a seismic earthquake around the spider mother's feet. The Vagary scurried back from the first two attacks and merely wounded from the disks and shaking ground. A green triceratops charged right in and gave the spider monster a devastating blow. It flew straight into a stack of metal crates and smashed right through them. All five of them gathered around the piles of broken crates and twisted metal.

Beast Boy: "Uh… Did we just win?"

Alex: "Don't celebrate yet Beast Boy. This was easy, a little too easy."

Alex raised his machine gun and slowly approached the pile of metal crates. There was a shivering sound coming from inside the mess, so he pointed the gun straight to the hole where the noise came from. But before he got close to it, the mountain of crates exploded, sending him back a few feet and letting the Vagary fly onto the wall. Alex shook off from the surprise but when he looked up to see the creature, a couple of crates were flying straight towards him. Fear in his eyes, he covered his face to brace himself for death. Just then, Raven phased out of the ground, encased Alex around her blue cloak, and phased back into the ground seconds before the heap of metal boxes went crashing to the area where Alex should be. When the disaster was avoided, Raven joined up with her teammates and opened her cape to reveal Alex getting out of it. He took his breath and looked at the Goth Titan with a smirk on his face.

Alex: "Thanks for the assist."

Raven: "Don't mention it."

The team then looked up and saw the Vagary still clinging to the wall as it shrieked for a soon to be victory. Alex then aimed his machine gun at the beast and shouted straight at it.

Alex: "DAMN YOU!"

He let out a war cry as he started shooting bullet clips towards the horrid monster. The Vagary scampered on the walls quickly avoiding the bullets. She then jumped off the wall and landed on top of a stack of metal freight containers. She flinged her right arm and magically, one of the containers slide out of the stack and went sailing straight towards the team. Alex and the Titans were able to jump and fly out of the way, but turned their heads and shockingly saw the container hurtling towards a paralyzed sleeping Starfire. Raven took action lifted her left glowing hand the same time the container was covered in dark energy and stopped inches of Star's body. The black magic disappeared and the container landed in a loud thud. Robin took a breather now that Starfire is safe, but looked at the Vagary and had a low growl in his voice. The Vagary looked at him with her many eyes and was sneering at her mouth. Robin then realized with Starfire knocked out and defenseless, there's no telling what this spider monster can do. He quickly looked at Beast Boy and gave him an order.

Robin: "Beast Boy, take Starfire and put her someplace safe."

The changeling looked at his leader in total confusion.

Beast Boy: "What?"

Robin: "Starfire can't move let alone fight right now. You have to get her to a safe place away from the Vagary before it hurts her even more, or probably worse, kill her."

Beast Boy: "But-"

Cyborg: "Robin's right BB! Get Star out of here, NOW!"

Beast Boy sighed as he hurried to get Star out of danger while the rest of the team continues their attack. The changeling approached the sleeping beauty and turned into a gorilla to carry her in his arms. He jumped on a few crates away from the battle and looked for a spot for Starfire to be out of harm's way. He then spotted an open metal crate with the lid lying on the stone floor. He approached it and carefully places the Tamaranean into the crate. He then morphed back to his human form and talked to her in a soft voice.

Beast Boy: "Now you stay right here Star. I'll get you when this is over."

Just when Beast Boy was about to get the lid, he heard a frail female voice coming out of the crate.

Starfire: "Bea- Beast Boy…"

He immediately looked back at Star as she tried to get up but was too weak to move. But she was able to raise her hand up a little.

Starfire: "Le- Let me hel- h- help you… I d- don't wa- want my fr- friends t- to be endan- danger…"

BB sighed again as he kept starring at his defenseless friend. So he grabbed her hand and tried to reason with her.

Beast Boy: "I'm sorry Starfire, but you're in no condition to fight. You have to remain in here until the battle is over. Don't worry; we're going to be all right.

He then let go of Starfire's weak hand and changes back to his gorilla form to pick up the lid and shut it on top of the crate that had the girl inside. With that done, he hurried to the team to aid them against the Vagary, but stopped when a vacant ladder caught his attention. He slowly walked to it, and then looked up at where the ladder was attached to. What it looked like was that there was a control lift hanging on the middle ceiling and attached to its front was a crane with a metal disk at the end. Looking around at all the metal containers, barrels, and crates, Beast Boy let out a smirk from his monkey face and had an idea.

Heading back to the fight, Alex and the other Titans are doing everything they could to take down the Vagary. While Cyborg and Alex were blasting with blue lasers and flying bullets with Raven tossed flammable barrels with her telekinetic powers. But the thing jumped from stacks of crates to walls and back again. Robin had enough of this, so he took out his grappling hook and fired it at the nearest support structure. Once it latched on to the metal beam, he retracted it and flew to the air. He landed right on the stack where the spider mother is on and took out his retractable Bo staff. He spins it around with one hand behind him and then charged in with a loud cry. He made contact with it by hitting it left and right in the face, then multiple stabs into the chest. The Vagary immediately grabbed Robin's staff and performed a tug of war against the Boy Wonder. It won however as the creature flung Robin like a catapult but was stupid enough to let go of the staff he was still holding. Robin quickly twisted his body, landed on the wall with both feet, use his strength to bounce off it, and rocketed directly at the beast with his staff ready for smacking. He banged on the Vagary hard with his staff as it flew off the stacked at straight at the metal pillar. The Boy Wonder landed and skidded on the stack of containers until he stopped at the edge of it. When he looked up, he saw the Vagary attaching its spider legs on both the metal beam and the support structure connected to it. It cracked her mouth for a second and strangely enough, spit webbing out of it. Unguarded for the moment, Robin jumped off the edge seconds before the webbing hit it. He dive straight to where his friends are, somersaulted, and landed on the cold hard surface feet first. Too bad the reunion was short as the Vagary kept spitting webbing at the heroes. The team immediately split up and took immediate cover behind stacks of crates, barrels, and an open door of a web infested container.

Cyborg: "Man what the hell is that thing? Fang's mother?"

Raven: "If that's Fang's mother, I don't want to know who the father is."

Robin: "I don't care what it is, it has to be taken down now!"

Alex: "Earth to Robin, the thing moves too damn fast! We won't be able to clip it off if it keeps on jumping and dodging."

Robin: "We can and we will. There's got to be some way to get her of its feet, but what?"

The Vagary stopped spitting and waited for the team to come out, but since they are smarter then her they kept hiding and formulate a strategy to take it down. Unaware of the spider mother's attention, something was flying straight at her in the right and making a loud noise in the process. It turned her attention to the noise and all of her eyes bugged out when it saw the front end of a wide blue freight container. WHAM! It was slammed onto the container and flew straight into a small stack of crates. When all the chaos was silenced, the team got out of their hiding places and saw the Vagary resting on the toppled crates. They then looked up and saw the blue container magnetize to a metal disk connected to a crane that leads to the control lift in the middle of the storage sector. The person that was driving the lift was none other then-

Everyone: "Beast Boy?"

Indeed, it was Beast Boy controlling the crane that had a lever in the center that goes to four directions, a lever on the left that moves the crane up and down, and a red button on the right to stick and unstick metal objects with the disk. To the green changeling, it is nothing but a big version of his favorite game back in the carnival of Jump City's docks, the crane game.

Beast Boy: "Wo-Ho! All those hours grabbing plush dolls have finally paid off!"

Beast Boy moved the center lever to the left while moving the left lever to position the container to where the Vagary is. Both the Titans and Alex could do is watch from a safe distance as BB rotated the crane to the direction of the spider monster. Speaking of which, the Vagary was unconscious for just a moment when she slowly opened her dozen black eyes and looked up at the ceiling. But when she blinked and opened her eyes fully, what she saw was the bottom side of a blue container. Inside the control lift, Beast Boy placed his finger on the right red button and said something out loud.

Beast Boy: "Did someone call for a exterminator?"

And with that said he pushed the button, deactivating the magnetic disk and sending the container straight down to the creature. The Vagary took immediate steps as it leap out of the way moments before the container slammed right into the floor and squashed the steel crates in the process. The spider monster then landed on top of the support beams to the left. Beast Boy saw it and turned his attention at the controls.

Beast Boy: "Oh no you don't."

He quickly pulled the left lever down to lower the crane to the damaged container he dropped. He pushed the red button and the container was lifted up from the ground and attached itself to the metal disk. Once he brought it back up, he moved the center lever left and down and rotated towards the target. The crane spun around and was about to hit the Vagary head. But it jumped away from the hurtling object as it hit the beam and cut through it like it was made of tissue paper. It landed on another stack of crates and leered its head at the crane. Beast Boy quickly moves the center lever up to move it straight to the beast. He the pushed the red button and let the container fly to it. The Vagary jumped out of harms way as the blue container made an impact right through the wall. It landed on the wall and started to scurry on it as Beast Boy kept pulling the center lever in many directions and pushing the red button over and over again to attract and toss metal objects at the spider mother. Of course she avoided the attacks by jumping in many places, jumping on wall, to supporting structures, to stacks of crates. The only thing that was left behind from the wreckage is the crates and containers that are indenting everywhere the Vagary was. It then landed on its spider legs and looked for a way to distract the driver while attacking him and his colleagues. It then spotted a few spike boulders lying on the ground and had an evil like smirk. When it raised its hands directly at the control lift, the two spike boulders lift up in the air and flew directly at the lift. Beast Boy saw the boulders heading towards him, shrieked, and ducked down to avoid the impact. The spike boulders smashed through the windows as glass shattered all over the place. Once that mess was over with, Beast Boy stood up and looked for the Vagary, only to find out that she wasn't there.

Beast Boy: "Great… Where did that freak show go?"

The changeling moved the middle staff left and right to look for the spider mother, but she was nowhere to be found. He gave up and approaches the exit door to get a closer look. But before he could open the door, the Vagary jumped onto the exit, making the changeling back away to the other end and screamed.

Beast Boy: "AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

The creature ripped the metal door off it hinges and used one arm to try to slash the green Titan. Luckily for BB, the control lift was wide enough and its arm and hand was just halfway to the changeling. But Beast Boy was pressing his back against the metal wall, as the beast's arm was getting closer to him. Back on the ground, the rest of the team stare in shock as the Vagary was trying to get in the lift through the thin opened doorway.

Cyborg: "That's it! I'm going in!"

Cyborg turned on his sonic cannon and proceeded to the lift. But Robin held his hand up and blocked him from going.

Robin: "Hang on Cyborg. If we get there, it'll make this a whole lot worse. We have to find a way to get the Vagary down here without hurting Beast Boy."

Alex kept starring at the sight but the shook it off as he got an idea.

Alex: "Maybe we don't need to hurt him. Maybe he needs to get out of there fast before something terrible happens. And I got just the thing to get him out."

The Titan boys looked at Alex, not knowing what he's up to. Alex put away his machine gun, removed a grenade from his belt and glanced at Raven.

Alex: "Hey Rae, think your powers can bring this up to the control lift before it blows?"

Raven looked at Alex, then the grenade, then the lift, then back to Alex again.

Raven: "I'll try."

Alex: "Well you better make it quick."

He twisted the knob on top of the grenade as it made a low sound and started to rise up.

Alex: "NOW!"

He immediately tossed the grenade high into the air while Raven raised her glowing left hand up. The grenade was coat in her dark energy as it quickly flew up in the air and through one of the broken windows of the control lift. The energy disappeared and the grenade bounced on the tiled floor. Both Beast Boy and the Vagary looked at the grenade making a high-pitched sound and one of them knows what it is.

Beast Boy: "Oh crud…"

Beast Boy then left the wall, jumped on the crane controls, jumped out of the control lift and morphed into a hawk to fly away from the soon to be explosion. But the Vagary was starring at it with its many eyes when it finally stopped making that noise and exploded inside the lift, engulfing the entire thing in flames. The spider mother got caught on the explosion and she flew out of it by force and made a hole through a container that was stacked sideways. The team watched the blast as Beast Boy joined them and returned to normal. He then walked directly to Alex and knew who was responsible in this.

Beast Boy: "Hey! What is your deal? I was stuck in the lift with Little Miss Muffet trying to get me. Then you throw a grenade at me and almost turned me to chichquebob? What are you thinking?"

Alex: "Well I had no choice in the matter. Besides if it wasn't for me then you would've been spider chow by now."

Beast Boy: "Well give me a warning next time you do a crazy stunt like that O.K.?"

Alex: "I'll remember that."

Cyborg came in between the two and gestured something to them while talking.

Cyborg: "Uh guys… Hate to be the one to interrupt this conversation but we still have a spider to squish."

Alex and Beast Boy looked at where Cyborg was pointing and saw the Vagary getting out of the ripped hole and jumped off the container. It landed five feet in front of them and starred them down with her eyes and shrieked at them. Alex didn't get scared, or afraid. All he can do is smile at the creature.

Alex: "So I see."

He then put his right hand behind his back and took his dad's double barrel shotgun out of the pouch and aimed it at the thing.

Alex: "All right Vagary, allow me to introduce to you a good friend of mine. She goes by the name of Matilda!"

Alex pushed on the trigger and the two front ends of the gun exploded, sending pellet shells directly at the creature. However, the Vagary jumped out of the way seconds before the pellets created holes through an abandon container.

Alex: "Damn it!"

He opened the gun, removed the two empty shells, and franticly placed two new ones in the shotgun. The Vagary then landed on the metal scaffolding and made a shriek at the team. Cyborg pointed his cannon at the thing and fired a streak of blue light at it the same time Alex aimed and fired his shotgun. The spider mother made another leap avoiding the blast and landed on another scaffolding. Robin took out four birdarangs in each hand and flung them straight at the scaffolding. Each of the birdarangs cut the four poles that were connected to the metal pillars as the scaffolding plummeted three stories to the ground with the Vagary still hanging on to it. It crashed right through a stack of containers as debris flew everywhere. The birdarangs flew back to the Boy Wonder and he grabbed them in one attempt and put them back into his utility belt. Everything was quiet for a moment until the pile of twisted metal exploded and the Vagary burst out of it and screamed really loud that it shook the entire foundation. The Titans and Alex gasped at that surprise.

Beast Boy: "Does it ever give up?"

Raven: "By the way this looks, she won't give up until each of us is dead."

Robin: "No matter what, we have to stop it before it has a chance to spring at us."

Alex: "Stop it?"

Alex reloaded his shotgun and pumped it for extra force.

Alex: "I intend to kill it!"

The entire team charged to take on the Vagary but Robin stopped as he spotted something on his left side. He turned his head and saw a forklift carrying two flammable barrels. The Boy Wonder smirked as he has a trick up his sleeve.

The rest of the team was trying everything in their power to destroy this eight legged spider hybrid. Cyborg fired with his cannon again but it avoided the blast in one swift move. Beast Boy then morphed into a tiger and rushed towards the creature and was going to pounce on it. But the Vagary stopped the changeling in mid air with her telekinetic powers tossed him back to his teammates. Cyborg made a grab to his friend as he changed back to his elf form and landed on top of the hybrid's arms. As he settled the changeling on the floor, the spider mother lifted a floating part of the metal scaffolding in the air and threw it straight at the team. Raven flew up in the air and stopped the scaffolding by using her own powers as the piece of metal was covered in a black aurora and ceased to a stop. She looked at the beast with sternly white eyes.

Raven: "You're not the only one that can levitate objects. Azarath, Metrion, ZINTHOS!"

The scaffolding was flung back at the Vagary but it jumped out of the way before the piece of metal landed on the pile. It landed a few feet away and levitated a few spiked boulders to impale their heads. But just as she was about to throw them, she was got rammed in the back by a moving forklift with Robin taking the wheel, while the spiked boulders fall to the ground. The forklift kept moving forward as Robin pushed a lever on the console to accelerate the speed. Alex was looking at the lift going in many directions and then heading straight to the stack of boxes and crates. Robin got out of the driving controls and jumped up on the top of the forklift giving an order to Alex.

Robin: "Alex, blow the lift up now!"

Alex noticed the flammable barrels and knows what Robin's doing and what he has to do. He carefully aimed his shotgun at the movable lift as Robin took his grappling hook out and launched it at the railing of the catwalk. Once it connected, he retracted it and flew to where the birdarang end was attached to and landed on the railing. Once Alex got a clear shot at the lift he fired at the barrels that turned the lift into a moving fireball with the Vagary still stuck to it and burning alive. The forklift then rammed into stacks and cardbord boxes and metal crates as they buried them. Within seconds, the entire pile was engulfed in flames.

Attention, fire detected in Storage Sector 2. Sprinkler system has been activated. All personnel must evacuate immediately.

The sprinklers on the ceiling sprayed water all over the place, drenching the Titans and Alex in all the wetness. They all gathered around pile of burnt cardboard and metal.

Beast Boy: "Ha! Let's see if it can survive something like that!"

Alex wants to make sure that it's still dead. So he slowly walked up to the inferno pile while at the same time reloading his gun.

Cyborg: "Uh Alex, what are you doing?"

Alex: "Trying to see if our spider friend is burnt to a crisp."

He was just a few feet from the pile but when he moved his shotgun up, the pile exploded and the Vagary jumped out of it and landed in mere inches of the Titan's guardian. Alex stood there in disbelief and he saw the spider's mother's skin burned in 50 of her body while it screamed at him. Alex was about to take the shot but the thing bitch slapped him hard, sending him flying twenty feet away from it and the team and landing on the floor surrounded by many boxes, crates, and barrels. The Titans saw the whole thing as they looked back at the Vagary as it shrieked at the team. Robin took two birdarangs out and form them into the R-Sword just like last time he took on a few Maggots.

Robin: "Titans, take it down now!"

The team charged in the same time the Vagary lifted all the burnt debris and flung it at the team.

Meanwhile, Alex stirred from the crash landing and moan in pain from his rear.

Alex: "Uh, damn that thing's slap is powerful."

He then heard an explosion coming from not far away. He looked up and saw smoke coming up from the fight between the Titans and the Vagary.

Alex: "Great… Now they continue the fight without me. Better get back there fast before they become the main course."

He grabbed his shotgun out of the puddle of water and was about to join them when he something caught his attention. He glanced right and saw a web cocoon of a person and around it was a rocket launcher and two cases of rockets. Alex gave it some thought and realized that this must be the heavy-duty weapon that was gone from the empty storage cabinet from the secret breeding program. He made a sly smile now that he found something that can do some serious damage.

Back to the fight, the Titans were duking out against the Vagary with every power, ability, and gadget they can muster. Raven levitated three flammable barrels and flew them at the creature while Cyborg used his sonic cannon to fire at the barrels, causing them to explode. The spider mother backed away from the fiery blast and visible smoke trying to see what's in front of her. Without warning, a green mammoth charged through the smoke and rammed the beast, as it flies straight to a gray wide container, denting it on impact. Robin then walked up on the mammoth, jumped off its head, and flew down at the creature with his sword in hand and giving out a yell. He landed on the ground and then made a diagonal slice at the Vagary and made a pose with the sword pointed down on the wet ground. After a few seconds of silence, one of the creature's front legs detached itself from the lower spider body and slumped on the floor. The being looked at its severed leg then glanced back and the Boy Wonder as he positioned himself again with his R-Sword over his head, both hands on its hilt, and eyes glaring directly at the creature. The Vagary screamed in anger as she charged in and made a couple of slashes with its razor sharp hands. Robin avoided the swipes with agile ability and used his sword to strike on the beast's human body. Even through he made a few slices of its waist, they were only flesh wounds. The Vagary shrieked and flung its back arm at the Boy Wonders head. This time, Robin wasn't prepared for it as he got hit and sent flying towards a green freight container, knocking him out for a minute. It then looks at the other three Titans as they watched their leader laying slump on the concrete floor with his back on the container. The green mammoth transformed into a green T-Rex and stomped directly at the spider mother, giving out a loud roar. It opened its jaws and was about to eat the Vagary whole but she grabbed the upper and lower jaw with each hand and struggled hard to keep the changeling from closing on her. What it didn't expect was Raven appearing behind the creature and opened her cape to let metal crates rained down on the spider hybrid. Three crates hit her spider back while one was aiming squarely at its head. Without even turning its face since she was busy with something big, green, and fierce, she stopped the crate with her own telekinesis and flung it back at the dark Titan. Raven phased and disappeared out of existence seconds before the crate ever hit her. The Vagary then levitated the crates around her and flung them directly at the T-Rex's mouth, filling it up with metal boxes. The dinosaur stomped a few feet back and tries to spit out the crates out of his mouth. But caught by surprise when a floating freight to the right came out of nowhere and whammed it in the face. All the crates spilled out of his mouth as the T-Rex sailed towards Robin's body, changed back into Beast Boy, and landed next to Robin, unconscious as well. The Vagary looked at the two sleepy Titans as it approached them, but suddenly, black aurora blasts appeared and was hitting the creature dead on from behind. The creature turned around a saw Raven hurtling aurora blasts that were quite similar to Starfire's star bolt attack. As Raven kept firing, the spider mother jumped and leap from freights, catwalks, to support beams, trying to avoid the Goth's vicious attack. It then landed on a stack of freight containers and levitated two of them between her. It pushed her arms forward, letting the containers fly directly at the Titan. Raven stopped the containers with both hands in front and encasing them with black obsidian energy and threw her right hand out to let the right container fly back at the creature. The Vagary jumped high up out of the way as the container missed it by an inch and she flew directly at the Titan. Raven then flung her left arm out and fire the second container right up at the spider mother but it landed on the flying container jumped off it as soon as the freight impacted to the ceiling. It then grabbed hold of Raven and they plummeted down to the ground floor and landed hard on the floor. Raven was out like a light after the impact as the creature looked down at the Goth with beady eyes. Strangely enough, it didn't attack or kill Raven while she's down. Just then, it was under attack by streams of blue energy. It glanced to the right as she saw Cyborg aiming his cannon at the spider hybrid.

Cyborg: "Get away from her!"

He fired a few more blasts at the being but the Vagary swiftly dodged every projectile and jumped straight towards the metal hybrid. Cyborg kept firing and jumped back before the creature made it to Cy's former position. Cyborg then landed on the ground, but jumped back up and was rocketing towards the thing with his cannon charged high enough for the kill. But before he had the chance at doing so, the Vagary grabbed his cannon arm tossed him to a stack of metal crates to the right, then to the stacks of barrels to the left, and finally slammed him front first in the ground. Cyborg lay there with a face full of asphalt and was out cold just like his comrades. The Vagary raised its head up and screeched in victory, but she forgot someone else, someone who isn't a Titan at all. A whistle came from the left side as the creature glanced its head to see a person standing there holding a rocket launcher. That person is Alexander Kelly.

Alex: "Forgetting something freak show?"

The Vagary starred at Alex and slowly scurry slowly away form the metal hybrid's prone body with its now seven spider legs. It then leaped up and headed towards him. Alex then aimed the rocket launcher up his shoulders and fired a rocket at the creature. It connected as the blast knocked the beast out as it landed on top of a pile of lead pipes. Alex followed where the creature landed and saw the thing back up on its legs and levitated a dozen of pipes in the air. Realizing what he saw, he immediately ran for cover as the Vagary flung them at the teenage boy taking cover behind a freight container. The pipes penetrate through the freight as Alex keeps running as the pipes start hitting through crates and containers. Luckily he avoided the attacks and was hiding behind a few barrels of flammable material. He took a peek from behind and saw no spider monster anywhere around a scatter array of pipes. He then looked around to find the thing. He then spotted a shadowed creature on the catwalk and knows what it is. He quickly pointed the rocket launcher and fired at it. The shadow leapt out of the away as the rocket hit the catwalk and let the metal walkway and the rails fall to the ground. It landed on the edge of a freight container, so Alex fired another rocket at it. But it jumped again, making the missile form hole on top. The shadow disappeared as Alex waited for it to come out. Suddenly, it appeared out of the shadows that heading straight to the Titans' guardian as it came clear that the shadow was none other then the Vagary itself. She spit out a whole load of webbing that would trap the boy for good but Alex jumped, handstand on the barrels, and flipped away from the large amount of webbing just before it splashed onto the area. He landed feet first on the floor and looked up to see the Vagary landing on the mess of web she created and glared at the boy. It then was going to jump the same time Alex readied his rocket launcher. But then something wasn't right and Alex knows it. The creature didn't jump or move at all. When he looked down, he saw its spider feet stuck into its very own webbing. A smile came onto Alex's face as he aimed the rocket launcher at the barrels the thing was on top of and fired. The missile caused the barrels to explode and sent it flying to the middle of the storage area. Alex then fired the last missile to make sure the creature wouldn't up for another kill. The Vagary was hit big time and crashed to a freight container, knocking it unconscious. He reloaded the next case of rockets and aimed it directly to the ceiling that was filled with water pipes and the control lift that was still in flames. He blasts them all with five rockets and they started dangling, and then loaded another case into the slot to fire five more. All the pipes started detaching itself, the ceiling started to crumble and large chunks were falling out of it, and the flammable control lift is under free fall with crane and all. Back on the floor, the Vagary shook her head to get the dizziness out of its system, but when it opened her eyes, she sees falling debris falling to her. It knew it was too late to get out in time so the lift, pipes, and ceiling chunks came crashing down on her, burying her alive. The debris also hit the freight containers, metal scaffoldings, and catwalks around it so hard that they too fall on the ground and went into the pile of twisted metal. Alex kept running away from the falling metal and jumped out of the way from the crane that landed mere inches from his body. He landed hard on the floor and he rolled over and looked at the large pile of metal and stone in the middle. Somewhere in the mess was his rocket launcher that he dropped soon after the ceiling started to collapse. So he got up, took out his machine gun, and slowly approached the mess to see if the creature is still alive. Suddenly, a hand came out from the middle of the wreckage and was going to levitate the rocks around it. Alex positioned his machine gun for battle but before that would happen, the Vagary's hand slumped to the floor and the rocks stopped shaking, leaving it dead. Alex felt relieved at that as he said something to the creature underneath the rubble.

Alex: "Rot in peace, bitch."

He then walked away from the pile and headed to where the Titans were knocked down. When he arrived, he saw the team slowly getting up and shaking their heads from the impacts they suffered from the Vagary's wrath.

Alex: "Hey, anyone all right?"

Robin: "Ugh… Last I ever tango with a monster like that. Where is that Vagary anyways?"

Alex: "Don't worry about that freak Rob, it's dead and buried underneath a pile of twisted metal. I found a rocket launcher and some rockets around a cocoon corpse. Turns out the weapon and the ammunition were in one of the storage lockers back at the secret breeding lab. If I haven't used it to take the freak down, you guys would've been the Vagary's lunch."

Beast Boy: "You should've used it earlier so that way we won't be beaten up so badly."

Alex: "And if I did that then you guys would've been in the crossfire."

Cybrog: "Al has a good point there BB, he doesn't want to hurt us if we're in the way. Still there's one thing that's starting to bother me."

Alex looked at Cyborg to find out what he's thinking.

Alex: "What is it Cyborg."

Cyborg: "Well I don't know if you guys believe me or not, but the Vagary had Raven in its clutches. The strangest part is that it didn't even hurt her one bit, it just stared at her."

Feeling a little confused, Alex then glanced at Raven for an explanation.

Alex: "Raven, do you have any idea what that thing wants with you?"

Raven, who was still stretching her back from her recent slam, looked at Alex.

Raven: "I have no idea what it wants with me. Guess she was a bit hesitant to kill me because of half of my bloodline."

Alex glared daggers at Raven and could tell she's holding a secret, trying to lie to her friends about it. He knows in the history programs that she's a half-demon and knows that no monster from another world would hurt someone with blood like hers. Before he could push her in telling the truth, Robin jumped in.

Robin: "Now that the Vagary's been taken care of, I say its time we get to Communications. Where's Starfire?"

Alex: "Don't look at me Rob. You told Beast Boy to put her someplace safe."

Robin turned his attention to Beast Boy who was in dog mode drying himself from the water that sprayed over him and his friends.

Robin: "Beast Boy?"

The changeling changed back to his normal self and glanced at Robin.

Beast Boy: "Relax Boy Blunder, she's someplace perfectly safe."

Robin: "Then where is she?"

The team was around the steel crate where Starfire was in. Cyborg lifted the lid off the crate and set it aside. Alex and the Titans looked inside and saw the Tamaranean still sleeping inside the cubicle box.

Beast Boy: "See, what I tell you. Safe and sound."

Cyborg then placed his hands inside the crate and took Starfire out of it. Robin then approached his sleeping friend and tried to wake her up.

Robin: "Starfire, please wake up.

Starfire slowly lifted her eyelids halfway and looked at the leader of the Titans.

Starfire: "Ro- Robin?"

Robin: "Yes Star, it's me. We have defeated the Vagary and we're all right, you don't have to worry about us."

Starfire: "Th- That's d- deligh- litghtful ne-news…"

Star then started coughing and blood was slowly seeping out of her mouth. Robin noticed it as well as her orange skin is slowly fading and her green eyes looking a little dull.

Robin: "Starfire, what's happening to you? Are you O.K.?"

Starfire: "I'm f- fine Rob- bin… I fe- feel a li- little light- lightheaded…"

The Tamaranean closed her eyes again and went back to sleep. Robin then looked at Alex and had a scornful face.

Robin: "I thought you said that she's been paralyzed. By the way she looks is nothing close to it."

Alex: "Relax Robin, I did say she's paralyzed, but I also said that penalization is different to a Tamaranean then to a human."

Robin: "Then we have to get her to a med lab and make her better, somehow."

Alex: "There's a transfer airlock over on the other side that can get us into the warehouse district. If we leave now we can find the med lab quickly and save her."

Robin: "Then what are we waiting for. Let's hurry!"

Alex and the Titans hurried to the airlock hoping to save Star's life before its too late. Right behind them in the middle was a pile of metal and chunks of stone with the Vagary's limp hand sticking out of it. Unaware to them, the hand disintegrated into ash along with the rest of the body, leaving no trace of the Vagary what's so ever.

And that's the end of this battle. Don't worry, that fight was only the beginning, for I am going to give this team more fights and tougher challenges in the coming chapters. For those of you who are wondering why I changed the Vagary from it to she many times, I realized that the Vagary is a female. So I thought it's best to change the thing around to make it more understandable to the reader. On the next chapter, the team starts on a search for something that can get them to Communication Transfer. You have to wait to see what it is. Please Review.
