Part 67: Reunion of the Red Wolves
Mortuary smiled as he reached out his hand to help the young man up. "Need some help there, Billy?" he asked.
"Yeah, I guess I do. Just like all the others time," Billy said as he smirked.
"So you actually did show up?" said the dark haired girl from before.
"C'mon, Ash, you didn't think I'd miss a chance to take over command again, did ya?" Mortuary retorted while helping Billy up.
"Fat chance of that, skull boy, you know why you're here."
Terra walked in between the two "Good to see you, Ash," she greeted her former teammate.
Ash smiled and nodded "Hey Tara, it's been a while. Good to see you're keeping the dunce alive."
Mortuary cleared his throat. "I believe you had something to show us?" He asked
"Right, let's get to it." Ash motioned to the boy next to her, "Show them, Andrew"
Andrew pulled out a small PDA-like machine which, when activated, showed a hologram of the globe. "It seems our old enemy has relocated to the small country of Zandia. It's a bit off the coast of Africa," he spoke up.
"And it was really easy for him to set up shop since Zandia's in the midst of a civil war."
As Terra and Mortuary were being briefed by Andrew, the Jet Slinger (still invisible) silently landed on the harbor. The two Titans dismounted from the vehicle as Renia's invisibility spell wore off.
"You sure you saw them come in here?" Renia asked.
"Hai, I did," Draco answered, "Now, come on. I think I saw them go into one of those warehouses."
"Right," Renia nodded as they two made their way towards the warehouse they'd seen Mortuary and Terra enter. They then hid behind several large crates. They poked out their heads to see what was going on.
The two Titans, within the limited lighting, could see their two friends surrounded by others. It didn't seem like they were in trouble. It was more like they were having a reunion.
"What are they saying?" Renia whispered.
"Shh," Draco hushed the Crystal Alchemist. "I'm trying to hear."
Andrew's PDA started to let an alarm as the screen flashed red. He then said to the others, "We've got party crashers here, and one of them has Orphenoch DNA!"
"Occultus' goons, no doubt," Billy cracked his knuckles. "So, Morty, Terra, you two ready to do it like old times?"
Mortuary got out his gun and grinned, "Just tell me where to point and shoot."
"Over there by those crates!" Andrew pointed and the Red Wolves got ready to attack.
Cassandra chanted a spell before sending one of her energy blasts flying at the crates, blowing it up. The two 'intruders' had to get out of the way fast or else they would've gotten blasted to bits. Unfortunately, now they were exposed.
One of those out of the frying pan and into the fire situations.
"Let's get 'em!" Billy shouted as he charged forward at the shorter intruder before throwing a fist. His target ducked and slammed their palms onto the floor, lighting it up with some sort of magical circle before crystal spikes rose up around him. Terra's eyes widened in realization.
"Guys, wait!" Terra shouted but unfortunately they didn't take the time to listen and charged straight into the fight. Well, all except for Andrew who just leaned against the wall to watch the show.
Mortuary lit up his hand with necroplasmic energy before slashing down on one of the intruders. However, when his wrist was caught, the eerie glow of his hands lit up his opponent's face to him. He then blinked, "Ryuki!? What the hell are you doing here!?" Before he got an answer, however, a solid block of ice smashed into Ryuki and slammed him into the wall. Ashleigh smirked slightly at Mortuary.
"Looks like I saved your butt again," Ashleigh boasted. "Just like old times." She then focused her gaze on the intruder and prepared several ice spikes to throw at him. Mortuary grabbed her wrists before she could throw them. She gave him an odd look. "Craig?"
"Stop it, now!" he ordered her.
Meanwhile, Billy was trying to break out of his crystal prison. However, that was a lot easier said than done since the solid crystals could absorb his punches. "Let me out of here!" he growled at Renia who responded by sticking out her tongue.
"Sorry, big guy," she mocked, "No can do." She caught movement out of the corner of her eye and then her glove tore as she transmuted her crystal hand into a shield to block a lightning bolt strike. She turned to see the teen sorcerer of the Red Wolves readying another elemental spell. "Nice trick," Renia said, impressed. She then morphed her shield into a blade, "But I prefer the up close and personal touch!" She then leapt at Cassandra and slashed down with her blade. Unfortunately, she met with a wall of stone that forced her back onto her rear. "Ow…" Billy chuckled.
"Not so tough are ya, short-stuff?" Billy said.
Terra, Draco and Mortuary all froze in horror at those words.
Bad choice of words, Billy.
Renia reacted the way she always did when called 'short'.
She exploded.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY!!" she exploded as she changed into her crystal skinned form. Her transmutation circle formed right under her and expanded, turning the floor to solid crystal.
"Oh, crap!" Billy gulped as he felt his crystal prison getting smaller, ready to crush him. "Uh, guys? A little help here!!" He attempted to break the crystal with his fists but they kept regenerating, and fast.
"Renia, stop!" Terra shouted at the young alchemist who didn't seem to hear her in her haze of rage. "I SAID STOP!!" Terra shouted, slamming her foot down hard enough to cause an earthquake with her powers. The shockwave caused the crystal floor to crack. That finally got Renia's attention as the transmutation circle vanished following her calming down.
"Terra?" Renia questioned when Terra approached her. She felt the older girl's hands on her shoulders. "What's going on here?"
"Hey, I should be asking that!" Cassandra snapped.
"I think this was all a big misunderstanding," Andrew said, logically. "But first, maybe we should release Billy."
"I second that!" Billy shouted out. "I'm feeling a little cramped in here."
"Sorry about that," Renia said before snapping her fingers which then shattered the crystal spikes surrounding Billy.
"So, what's going on and who are you people?" Draco asked, referring to Billy, Andrew, Cassandra and Ashleigh.
Mortuary stepped forward and said, "Leo, let me introduce you to my old team: The Red Wolves."
After a lengthy explanation, Draco finally got to know about the Red Wolves and their names as well as their codenames.
Billy/Bruiser was the team's strongman who was able to increase his own physical strength by absorbing the emotions around him, moistly negative emotions, to use against his enemies.
Ashleigh/Snow Blood was the team's second in command and also Mortuary's former girlfriend. She seemed oddly cold but Draco hadn't known her for very long so he shouldn't pass judgment too easily.
Cassandra/Wyvern was the team's magic user and could cast elemental magic. She looked up to Terra like a sister and the two seemed to have a very close relationship.
Andrew/Falconer didn't exactly seem to have any impressive powers but he was the team's resident genius. When Draco had questioned him as to why he was known as Falconer, Andrew only responded by saying, "You'll see, soon enough."
"So, these two are members of those Titans you decided to join up?" Ashleigh asked Mortuary and Terra. Both nodded.
"That's right, Ash," Mortuary said. "And believe me they're almost harmless."
"Almost harmless?" Renia parroted. "Please, since when have I ever been harmless?"
"But can you explain to me as to why the Titans have an Orphenoch on their team?" Andrew said, giving an accusing glare at said Orphenoch. Draco didn't like the way he was being looked at. "For all we know, he could be a spy for Occultus."
"He's not a spy," both Mortuary and Terra concluded.
"Believe me, Leo here can be trusted," Mortuary explained. "Kid's got a heart of gold."
"I'm not that good, Mort," Draco protested. He could still remember the blood on his hands and the memory of Ryuga still plagued him. He wasn't as good as when he'd started out this whole Zodiac Knight thing.
"So, why are you all here?" Renia asked.
"Well, we called Craig and Tara here to help us will a little mission," Ashleigh explained. Renia cast the cryokinetic a glare. She was Mortuary's ex and thus an obstacle.
"What kind of a mission?" Draco asked, interested.
"Why should we tell you?" Billy huffed, arms crossed. "This is strictly Red Wolves' business, not for kids."
"I'm not a kid," Draco growled, his eyes igniting. 'Not anymore…'
'Yeah, you tell 'em!' Ifrit cheered.
Terra seemed to be in deep thought. She then spoke up, "No, they deserve to know and so do the Titans." The other Red Wolves, save for Mortuary, stared at her.
"Why? We don't need their help!" Billy cried. "We can handle Occultus on our own!"
This caught Draco's attention, "You're all going after Occultus?"
"Oops," Billy let out. His big mouth had just revealed part of their plan.
"Pretty much," Mortuary nodded. He gestured towards Andrew, "Falconer here knows where Occultus is hiding and we decided to take him down once and for all."
"But he has an army of Orphenochs," Draco reminded, "And his elite generals."
"Hey, we can take them!" Billy cracked his knuckles confidently.
"An army?" Cassandra said nervously. "That doesn't sound good."
"Relax, Cassie!" Billy said, placing a comforting hand on the spell-caster's shoulder. "Occultus won't know what hit him when we go in there and kick ass!"
"Unfortunately, statistics don't seem to be in our favor," Andrew said as he ran the numbers on his PDA. "Based on my calculations, our chances of victory are 30 percent, and this is without any unwanted variables."
Billy snorted, "Falconer, we've beaten odds like that before."
"Barely. But remember, Billy, that numbers don't lie."
Ashleigh listened to all this. Maybe extra backup would be a good idea. She then said, "Alright, maybe we should work with the Titans." Before any objections, mostly by Billy, were voiced out, she added, "We need the extra help. Mort already told me that the Titans have fought a lot of dangerous villains so they could be useful to our cause."
"So, you agree to team up?" Draco said excitedly. He was happy to make some new friends.
"We'll need to vote on this, though," Ashleigh said. "Red Wolves only."
"Renia, you and Draco should go back to the Tower, okay?" Terra said to the young homunculus. "We'll be back soon."
"OK, T," Renia smiled and nodded. "Come on, Draco!"
As Renia went towards the exit, Draco followed her but cast one last glance at the Red Wolves. 'So…those are his and Terra's old teammates. Quite an interesting bunch.'
"Are you guys seriously considering teaming up with those Titans!?" Billy yelled out at his friends and teammates. "We don't need them!"
"Billy, I suspect that the only reason you're angry is because that Renia girl trapped you in a crystal prison you could not break away from, even with the rage she was exhibiting. Even if you had absorbed her rage to add to your strength, those crystals were resonating and would still absorb your blows," Andrew said.
Billy didn't quite understand all the words but he could recognize the insulting tone in the genius' voice. He didn't take too kindly to it. "If you weren't one of my best friends I would so kick your ass."
"So, should we really team up with them?" Cassandra asked. "I don't really like that Renia girl."
"She has a bit of a temper, but she's okay," Terra assured her younger friend.
"Still we haven't met all of them so we can't pass judgment too soon," Andrew added. "Ashleigh?" She wanted to know her opinion.
Sighing, Ashleigh said, "Occultus is not someone we should underestimate here. No matter how many times we fight him, he always manages to get away. I say strength in numbers."
Mortuary then spoke, "So all in favor say 'aye'."
Terra, Andrew and Ashleigh: "Aye."
"All opposed?" he asked again and Billy and Cassandra raised their arms. "The ayes have it." Mortuary said.
"Great…" Billy grumbled.
"So, when do we meet these Titans?" Ashleigh asked.
"No time like the present," Terra said. "Come on, let's go."
Both Renia and Draco reentered Titans Tower, discussing their discovery of the Red Wolves' reunion, plans as well as a possible alliance.
"I still don't trust them," Renia voiced out, hands in her red coat pockets. Draco chuckled.
"That's because Billy called you 'that word'," Draco replied. He and the other Titans all knew that saying the word 'short' would cause Renia to go berserk so they avoided ever using that word or any similar words in her presence. "We all have a common enemy here, Renia. Occultus has to be stopped."
"I get that," Renia nodded. "And, if Terra trusts them, then maybe they ain't so bad."
Draco smiled in response.
"So, what do we tell the other Titans?" Renia asked.
Draco seemed to be in deep thought. "I think that it's best for Mortuary and Terra to tell them."
Renia grinned, "Occultus isn't going to know what hit him."
'I seriously hope so,' Draco, Ifrit and Yaminekoryu thought at once.
Copycat was watching the scene in the warehouse through one of the many hidden surveillance cams Slade had stationed all over the city to monitor it and the activities that went about. Nothing ever escaped his notice and this applied to his apprentice as well. She had Jasmine in her lap as she stroked the feline's fur. Her eyes focused on each of the Red Wolves and their abilities, taking note of them just incase she may face them in the future.
"A strongman, a genius, a cryokinetic and a spell-caster," Copycat mused as she saw their powers in action. She tented her hands under her chin. "So, Zandia…that's where Occultus is hiding?" If that was right, then it meant Grave was there too. Her lips curled into a cruel smirk. She wanted too much to teach Grave a lesson for humiliating her. She desired retribution and would get it with a little help from these Red Wolves.
Copycat heard heavy footsteps and recognized the person behind her, "Slade-sama…" She got up and smiled at her 'father' before bowing.
"What have you to report?" Slade asked, one of his eyes narrowing.
"Terra and Mortuary's old team, the Red Wolves, have arrived in the city," Copycat reported. Slade looked at the screens. The Red Wolves. If they were anything like Terra, then they could be easily manipulated. Unfortunately, they would also rebel against him. He hated rebels. Terra and Robin had been failures. Draco had been promising but unfortunately lacked enough evil to be completely taken in. Copycat, however…
Slade's eyes gazed tenderly at the young girl. At first she had been uncontrollable, disrespectful and full of rage. Now, the rage was still there but she could keep a handle on her temper as well as the only apprentice who's stayed loyal to him. He had no reason to give her severe punishment. That would only make her spiteful as he had learned from his experience with Terra nor did he threaten her like he did Robin. He had her loyalty through being a father figure and a male role-model.
The girl had even saved his life, an act that he would never have expected from Terra or Robin since they would leave him to rot. That was why he could call Copycat his daughter.
With Joey gone, pursuing a new life as a hero, Slade needed Copycat to get stronger. She had trained and practiced her powers so now she could retain powers she had copied for much longer. The weakness was still there but there was still time to get around that one.
The only thing that Slade couldn't get rid of was Copycat's kindness towards children. He knew he couldn't order her to hurt kids. His eldest, Grant, would have no problem blowing up a large inhabited building but Copycat did not like killing children. It was against her very nature. Said nature did bring in a good addition into their ranks. His adopted granddaughter, Cathy, had been rescued by Copycat and grew up quickly under his tutelage. He didn't want to admit it or show it to his underlings, but he deeply loved Cathy. He loved all his children, but his reputation would not allow him to display it publicly.
The villains they had recruited for Tartarus were being trained and he'd seen their progress. They were given the harshest training possible and punishment was used to motivate them. They were also motivated by their hatred for the Titans. Such a cause was worthy for them.
He still didn't trust Madame Rouge, a sentiment he shared with Copycat. Despite her show of loyalty now, she was still the surviving member of the now dead Brotherhood of Evil. He was wary of her, despite them being intimate on several occasions. That woman was quite flexible, even in bed, and one time he realized that he'd been thinking about it so hard that Copycat could hear it and ended up throwing up in the bathroom out of disgust. He made sure to keep his mind shielded since it had been a very uncomfortable week between the two.
Though Slade knew Copycat was loyal, he knew she partly stayed around due to her love for Rose. Though he'd been disturbed when he discovered his daughter was a lesbian, if it kept Copycat around then he would tolerate and accept their relationship. It did lead the three of them having the infamous 'Talk' about the 'Birds and the Bees'. That had been one subject that he'd wanted to avoid talking to with the kids. Hell, he had to do the same thing with Cathy, who he still saw as the same baby Copycat had brought into their home and lives.
"Slade-sama. Slade-sama!" Copycat called repeatedly. Slade had been so lost in thought that he hadn't heard her. "Are you listening to me?"
Slade stood stoically, his intimidating figure not showing any cracks to his armor. "Yes, what is it?"
"Should we go to Zandia and finish off Occultus?" Copycat asked, exasperated. "He's a huge threat to our plans."
"Why sully our hands when we can have the Titans and Wolves do it for us?" Slade replied. Copycat clenched her fists as her eyes narrowed.
"Because, I want to be the one to slash that smirk right off his face!" Copycat growled as she revealed her energy claws. "And Grave's mine!"
"You'll get your chance, my dear," Slade said, placing a hand on her shoulder. "Have patience." Patience was one of the lessons he'd taught Copycat since in the beginning she was far too excited about going into battle that she would often disobey his orders. "You'll have your chance. Now, all we need to do is wait and watch."
"I don't wanna wait!" Copycat whined and hissed but then caught the glare Slade was giving her. "Gomen…"
"Well, if you feel so strongly about this…" Slade finally relented. Copycat smiled. "But only if you can get me some information he has as well. Might as well steal his plans while you're at it."
Copycat gave a huge grin and hugged her master. Slade looked around, making sure no one was watching. He had a reputation to keep after all.
Renia and Draco went up the elevator towards the top floor where their rooms were. As the elevator doors opened, they were greeted with a very angry Jinx.
"Where have you two been?" she demanded.
Both Renia and Draco exchanged looks and gulped.
"Well?" Jinx asked, tapping her feet.
"It was his/her idea!" Renia and Draco shouted, pointing at one another, "WHAT!?"
"I don't care whose idea it was!" Jinx snapped, causing Draco to go pale. "Did you know how worried I was? I tried to call you but you never picked up!"
"You did?" Draco asked and dug into his pockets. He then realized that he didn't have his communicator on him. "Oh, kuso!"
Jinx sighed. "It's late. We should all be in bed. We'll talk tomorrow."
"OK," Renia agreed, running past Jinx and then spinning around briefly to wave at Jinx and Draco, "Nighty-night!" before darting around a corner to her room.
"Goodnight, Ryuki," Jinx said as she turned to go to her room but she felt his hand on her shoulder.
"Jinxy-chan, chotto matte kudasai," Draco said in an apologetic tone. Jinx turned and crossed her arms. "Gomen."
Jinx's expression was neutral and she pointed out, with arms folded in front of her chest, "This is like the second time you apologized to me." It had been several hours since Draco and Pluto fight with one another. Both Blackfire and Jinx were still a little angry with the two Knights over the impromptu brawl the two had whilst on a double-date of all things. "I'm still mad at you."
"I know," Draco nodded.
"I mean, what if something had happened to you and I didn't know?" Jinx asked. Draco knew what she was talking about. It was the flaw in his DNA. It was breaking down. The serum may have slowed it down a little, but it was still happening. He could feel as particles of ash fell from his fingers. "I don't want to lose you."
Draco looked extremely guilty. "I never meant to hurt you like this."
Jinx closed her eyes and turned away, "It's just, I know you want to be a hero more than anything. I've seen you risk your life for others, even sacrifice yourself, but is that truly the way you want to live?"
"It's the path I've chosen," Draco answered. "My life means nothing."
"Don't say that!" Jinx snapped as she spun around to glare at him. "Your life is not worthless!"
"But I need to protect people and-"
"How can you do that if you don't take care of yourself first?"
Draco fell silent. Jinx grabbed his hand.
"Come on," Jinx said. "Let's get some sleep."
"Hai," Draco nodded as Jinx led him towards his room.
"So, this is Titan Tower," Andrew said, admiring the structure after the Red Wolves stepped onto the island, "Quite impressive."
"It's kinda sticks out, don't ya think?" Cassandra pointed out.
"It's shaped like a 'T'," Ashleigh said, "Of course it will draw attention."
"Hope you're ready to meet the team, guys," Terra said as the large doors opened.
"If they can kick butt, then they're OK with me," Bruiser said.
"Welcome to Titans Tower," Mortuary greeted as the Red Wolves entered.
