Relativity V2 chapter 2

contrary to popular belief, relativity was not a stupid man, many would go on killing sprees, confident they could overcome any obstacle in their way, but not him, he had a job to do, and he was currently compiling a list of people that could stop him, some were obvious and some weren't, some would be simple to kill others wouldn't be, the simplest would be the green laturn's, so confident and so ignorant of the universe, he would have fun killing them, watching hem burn and scream and beg...oh yes, he would have fun, but first how to get to them, he knew that simply appearing was out of the question, he needed to start with a bang, not a whimper, he needed the public's attention, he needed a bit of fear, of course there was only one way he could do that, steal a space ship, one that was big and brash, the 'Oblivion' would be perfect, big, a planet crusher and best of all, it was from the X'Hre federation, what better way to start.

He was currently in the Sarum System, a small band of planets that straddled the boundaries of the X'Hre federation and the Tameraean Empire as an independent system, very close to the all important main Fleet shipyards, where the Oblivion was being tested. Relativity smiled, for all of his power the Oblivion would be even better.

The tower

"I'm gonna win"

"oh yeah, grass stain, and when was the last time you won?" cyborg made an exaggerated thinking poise, stroking his chin " oh yeah, never. your going down" they both raced to the controllers, since mega-monkey extreme! 6 was already in the game-station cyborg flicked it on and they both settled down for several hours of gaming.

However just five minutes into the game they were interrupted by an alert.

"Beastboy, Cyborg, Slade bots, 34th street hurry" was all that was said before the communicators went dead, they both looked at each other, Raven was still on the roof so while cyborg commed her to inform her of the situation Beastboy took off the support Robin until the heavier titans raven and cyborg could appear, even in death Joker Junior had a sense of humour, twisted deranged and murderous humour, but humour none the less, Starfire was the titans main power house, a good variety of powers no weakness to speak of, she could fly, survive in hostile environments, was virtually indestructible and had incredibly powerful attacks both at range and at close quarters, her loss had changed the team in more ways than one, tactically they had to adapt to not having her as general support, but on an emotional level she was the catalyst of the team, her bubbly energy and constant enthusiasm made it easy for her to connect to people and draw them out of their shells, the team felt it, some more than others, Raven was more and more reclusive as time went by, Robin became more and more obsessed by Slade and the villains in Jump, Cyborg felt the loss keenly, as she had been a budding engineer, willing to lend him a hand when he upgraded his engine, even Beastboy, normally so happy became, if not sad then duller, more impasse than ever before, everyone, titans included knew of the changes, but somehow it felt wrong to fill the gap with a new member.

As Beastboy flew to the battleground he could imagine Starfire flying right next to him, smiling and talking to him, it felt lonely up their without anyone else, but he had a job to do, and even if he didn't know the entirety of jump city, thanks to robin, it would have been easy to find 34th street, just look for the big explosions and your done, he flew in closer and saw robin surrounded by Slade bots, but not the old design these had been redesigned, the traditional black and silver finish had been replaced with pure black coat and a small white star on the chest, they surrounded robin, while he fought them off, but it seemed like Beastboy had arrived just in time,as robin seemed to be tiring, the amount of destroyed Slade bots was a testament to this, so Beastboy transformed into a brachiosaurus, one of the massive plant eating dinosaurs that stood 20 metres high, sweeping his whip like tail around he easily hit four Slade bots into the side of a bank, to his left around 10 Slade bots remained, but just before he could hit them one of the group was grabbed by black energy and was lifted away, and the others were hit by a car, destroying them instantly. After checking the area he reverted back to his normal form and watched as robin took a small black device from his utility belt and attach it to the struggling bot, it shut down almost instantly, robin then turned to raven

"raven, can you get this back to the tower, we need to look at it and see what we can find out about it" raven nodded and closed her eyes for a second before the familiar raven pattern swallowed her and the robot, leaving Cyborg, Robin and Beastboy in the swathes of destruction created, Cyborg went first, to inspect the Slade bot, while Beastboy and Robin stayed behind to help with clean-up and rescue trapped or injured civilians.

The process took about half an hour, by which time they were both starving, so they commed Cyborg and Raven before heading off to their usual pizzeria, a small place called benny's, the owner, called Benny, took great pride in the fact that the world famous teen titan's visited his shop repeatedly and wasn't above using them as part of his advertising, before long they had ordered a mushroom pizza for Raven, a meat feast for cyborg, a vegetarian sizzler for Beastboy and a pepperoni pizza for Robin.

Before they knew it they had arrive back at the tower and everyone eagerly dived into their respective pizzas, munching away in front of the TV, which was showing some sort of Quiz show called Eggheads, an import show from England, though nobody spared it a second thought. By the end they were all feeling full, and they could all relax, except robin who was raring to go

"Cyborg, did you complete the inspection of the Slade bot" in cyborgs post eating rest he merely groaned before talking

"it's on your computer entire analysis and walk through of what I found" Robin nodded and all but ran out of the room, but managed to hear cyborg talking

"he needs to lighten up, I swear"

Robin stumbled into his room, his body reminding him that he needed some sleep, but he soldiered on, and switched on his computer, the bio-metric scanner logging him on immediately, as promised the report was waiting in his mail box, a self contained .SAR file, which he opened.

What he saw shocked him, the computer had individual combat files to combat every titan and every possible combination of titan, the chassis had been completely rebuilt, improving handling and energy efficiency, aside from the body work the entire bot had been completely rebuilt from the ground up, worryingly it also featured mounts for heavy weaponry, such as a flechette cannon, or even a javelin missile launcher, before he could write his own analysis he felt his eyes closing, and for the first time in two days he let sleep overtake him.

AN just a quick note I am currently looking for a beta (Only for this story though).

Thanks to StormyNightengale for your review.

.SAR stands for Standard Analysis Report.
