Part 4: Draco Vs The HIVE

When the Titans arrived, they were greeted by the sight of Jinx, Mammoth and Gizmo, robbing a bank and destroying anything that got in their way.

"Welcome to the party Titans," Jinx smirked arrogantly, gesturing to the destruction they caused. "I'm sorry that you weren't invited."

"I think we might just crash this party," Robin retorted. He turned to his team. "It's 2 to 1, in our favor. Titans Go!" All the Titans charged at the HIVE team. Beastboy and Robin went after Gizmo, Cyborg and Terra went after Mammoth, and Starfire and Raven went after Jinx.

"ATTACK PATTERN ALPHA!" Jinx ordered. She threw a few hexes at Raven but she dodged them. Starfire was throwing starbolts at Jinx, but she dodged them by cartwheeling and somersaulting away. The next volley was reflected towards Raven by one of her hexes. Raven formed a shield of black energy, but the reflected starbolts broke through it and hit Raven in the chest. Starfire ran towards Raven.

"Are you undamaged, friend Raven?" she asked, worriedly.

"I'm fine Starfire. WATCH OUT!" Raven pushed Starfire out of the way as Jinx blasted them with another hex.

"Darn! I missed! Oh, well!" Jinx laughed as she continued firing hexes at the two female Titans. She then grinned and fired a hex at a nearby car, blowing it up, and sending Raven and Starfire flying. They then lost consciousness, which allowed Jinx to tie them up with some cables.

Meanwhile, Cyborg and Terra were having their own fair share of problems. Mammoth threw huge rocks at them. Terra was struggling to keep her cool when she stopped them in mid-air. This gave Mammoth a chance to punch Terra in the ribs. Cyborg came to punch Mammoth in the face, but Mammoth elbowed Cyborg in the face then kicked him in the groin with the heel of his foot. Cyborg fell down in pain and received a head butt from Mammoth. Mammoth tied both of them with a steel beam.

Beast Boy, in Tiger form, seeing Terra being hit got distracted and was welcomed by a volley of small missiles Gizmo fired. Robin threw an electric disc and blew them up. A pair of long mechanical arms coming out of Gizmo's packs grabbed Beast boy and Robin. He blasted them both with a mist of sleeping gas. Both Titans couldn't stay awake and fell asleep. Gizmo tied them both up with a steel cable. "Nighty, night, losers!"

The HIVE gathered together and laughed. They cheered together since they finally defeated the Titans. However, their celebration was short lived, because someone was coming…

Something came out of a nearby window. It was the Knightrider. It landed on the ground rather roughly, tires screeching where it descended. The vehicle stopped and the cockpit opened up to reveal Draco. His seat pulled up and he walked out of his vehicle, surveying the scene. He saw the Titans, defeated and tied up. Then he looked at the HIVE team. There were 3 of them: a teenage girl with pink hair, a muscle man, and a midget. He noticed that the girl was strangely…pretty.

"Hey! Who are you?" Jinx asked yelling.

Draco shrugged. "I'm the new Teen Titan. You can call me Zodiac Knight Draco."

"Well your new name is going to be 'Snot-munching-loser'!" Gizmo yelled and fired a barrage of missiles at Draco. Draco just stood there and drew a card from his belt.

"Sword Vent-Red Shark Sword!" A sword appeared out of thin air, shocking the HIVE. Draco grabbed it and slashed at the missiles. They all blew up in his face, and there was a huge cloud of smoke.

"Hah! He's toast!" Gizmo laughed, but Jinx wasn't too sure.

"Ya think so?" Draco's voice came. He walked out of the smoke cloud relatively unharmed. He held the sword in front of him and ran towards the HIVE. Gizmo charged and fired lasers at Draco. Draco blocked them with his sword and jumped over Gizmo. He landed behind Gizmo and slashed the metallic bat wings that were attached to the midget genius' back. Gizmo fell flat on his face. He tried grabbing Draco with his mechanical arms, but he grabbed them, and proceeded to tie Gizmo up, with his own mechanical arms. Gizmo could only curse as Draco hung him up on a nearby building, using his sword to keep him up there. "Now stay there and be a good little boy."

Mammoth charged at Draco, but Draco landed a powerful punch to his face with his dragon gauntlet. Then with lightning speed, Draco punched Mammoth in the stomach 30 times and then kicked him, sending the giant behemoth crashing into a lamppost. Draco tied him up as well. He turned his head towards Jinx and walked slowly towards her. Jinx's eyes widened with shock and amazement. They had defeated the Titans, but this guy, claiming to be a Zodiac Knight, beat two of her partners single handedly. She wondered what he looked like under that mask and felt a blush coming up.

"So, you want to return that money and turn yourself in?" he asked her.

"No way!" she blasted him with one of her hexes and it bounced off his armor. "What?"

Draco sighed. "Listen, I don't hit girls, and I made a promise to myself to never hit a girl, period. So why don't you make this easy for yourself and just turn yourself in? I'll wait here with you until the cops come, kay?"

Jinx looked up at him curiously. "You beat two of my partners up without hesitation, yet you're being nice to me. Why?"

"Dunno, really. I just think that someone as pretty as you-" he stopped himself in surprise. He blushed under his helmet. Did I just say what I think I said?

Jinx blushed at his compliment. "You really think I'm pretty?"

"I guess. You look like a cat with that hair and those eyes. I like cats."

Jinx beamed at him. "Me too!"

As Draco and Jinx conversed with each other, the Titans, as well as Mammoth and Gizmo watch dumbfounded.

"What is he doing?" Raven asked Starfire.

"It seems that our friend Draco is having a happy conversation with Jinx," Starfire stated the obvious.

Beast Boy, who was tied up with Robin yelled out. "Dude! He's fraternizing with the enemy!"

Robin looked at Beast Boy strangely. "You know what fraternize means?"

Later the police came and took the HIVE team away. Draco had helped to free the Titans. He then walked up to an officer who was taking Jinx in. "Officer, could I have a word with her, please?"

The officer looked at Draco. "You the new Titan?"

"Yeah."

"You got 30 seconds."

"Thanks."

He slipped a card into Jinx's hands. Then he leaned over and whispered something into her ear. Jinx blushed and smiled at Draco. The officer took her away. Draco walked back towards the Titan and smiled after he opened his mouth plate. "Sorry about that guys."

Robin looked Draco in the eye. "We'll have a talk later about conversing with the enemy. In the mean time, we have to handle the reporters."

Draco stared at Robin. "What reporters?"

The Titans pointed behind Draco. Draco turned his head and his eyes widened as an army of reporters came to interview them. This is gonna be a long day.
