Red X's POV

I waited for them patiently, after 7 minutes of waiting, they blasted open the door of the room I was in.

"Titans-"

"FOR GOD'S SAKE, SAY SOMETHING ELSE!!" I shouted at him, hell, I didn't want to hear it again. It is SO boring.

"Uh, you know guys, he's right, it really does get boring when you keep on saying that." Finally! Someone agrees with me!

"BB's right Rob, how about Titans Attack or something like that." The tin man's agreeing with me? Good God what is happening…

"Grrrr, alright already! Titans Attack!" Finally…

I readied my X blades. "Now we're talking." I dodged a stampeding green Rhino, blasted the tin man before – what the?! Blasted?!

I looked at the smoking tips of my gloves, and smirked under my mask. "Well, waddya know? Looks like the reactor upgraded my suit. When I'm done with you, I'll test some upgrades I've been willing to try out on my suit." I stated before firing more blasts at the Titans.

I thought of trying something new, so I fired an X that I wanted to be able to freeze, and lo and behold, it did…… on my head. I was shaking my hand on why it won't fire, soooo you get the point.

Grass stain laughs his head off. "Dude! That was really funny!"

"Shut up grass stain." I growled before punching the ice and breaking it.

I dodged more starbolts and 3 freeze disks, cartwheeling to safety. I threw a barrage of freezing X's creating a spiky terrain. Then, I copied one of my own natural features, and created a set of angelic wings made out of xynothium. I flew past their surprised faces, and then launched a barrage of X's, exploding, freezing, and sticky. I went to Cyborg, powering my arms and legs with red energy; I pummeled him, leaving many dents and holes from where he had been hit. As a final move, I launched another red beam, only this one was much stronger, (it looked suspiciously like a kamehameha move, only red) blasting him to kingdom come. When the smoke cleared, he was down with many of his parts destroyed or too damaged to work. "Weakling." I muttered before moving on to the dolt, Who was more than a little cautious after the beating I gave her last time. "Red X, why did you damage me so much in our last battle? You are not usually that fierce?" She asked with a slight hint of nervousness in her voice. "Wasn't in control, and I never did like you, I just acted like it to annoy bird-boy." I explained before running at her, scaring her that I'll beat her up badly again, she flew to the air, but I followed suit, using my red wings for flight and exchanging each starbolt fired at me with a red beam. After a few moments of this stalemate, I did something unexpected, I had been charging my hands for this and it worked, I created a bright red flash, blinding her. I launched a small swarm of freezing X's, effectively freezing the flailing tamaranian.

Bird-boy saw this and immediately, his anger flared up. Yup, he is CERTAINLY in love with the dolt, or at least a crush. "You'll pay for that!" He shouted, obviously angry. "You know, getting angry is a bad thing to do. You lose your concentration when that happens…" I cockily answered. He didn't respond, he just rushed me and started flinging punches left and right. It was easy dodging them, as his anger was making his moves sloppy. Finally, I had had enough and I countered his right, holding it in place with my left and tightening my grip. He growled from the pain, heh, guess I better go easy on him… actually; I've been going easy on him since the first time we fought.

While I was busy, contemplating things, bird-boy had taken his chance and punched the side of my face with his free hand, escaping from my grip in the process. "Ouch." I said in a monotone, as I jumped away to gain some distance from them. The dolt had escaped from her icy prison and grass stain had finally broken free of the gooey substance thanks to Raven. I glanced at her, and I saw her flinch even if it was just for an instance. That confirmed it, she was scared. Dang it. I'll have to talk to Devil about that stunt of his later. I'm a thief, not a rapist goddamnit!... I set up a battle stance and gave them a 'come and get me' sign, the reaction was instantaneous. Grass stain morphed into a cheetah and pounced on me, intent on ripping me to shreds. The dolt flew up to the air and started flinging starbolts like mad, while Raven was at the very back, throwing objects at me, keeping her distance. I smirked under my mask, this was getting interesting. I dodged grass stain's ripping claws, and creating three-foot long xynothium claws for myself, slashed him. He fell back as a human but quickly recovered, this time turning into a gorilla. I jumped backwards and threw an exploding X at him, only this one had been changed to offer a major heat explosion instead of the usual shockwave. It hit the gorilla, burning its skin, and I could faintly smell the scent of a barbecue as he once again turned human with second degree burns all over his body.

I dodged the collective assault of starbolts and objects, blasting the projectiles that got too close for comfort. I performed a last cartwheel as a bright blue beam almost hit me. My head turned to the side to see that the tin man was still standing, but not for long. An instant later, my hand was clutching a birdarang that would have clipped my head, without even looking at it. Ever so slowly, my head turned to face them, and I crushed the birdarang. "You know, this is getting extremely boring, why won't you guys just give up?" I asked.

"Because if we did, then you criminals wouldn't be put in jail." Bird-boy answered for the team.

"Acceptable answer Robin, now I propose a challenge for all of you. If you win, I will surrender without a fight. But if I win you will leave me to escape unscathed. How does my proposal sound Teen Titans?" I stared at myself after what I had just said. Slowly I turned around to meet the familiar scene of my mind. I immediately came to the conclusion that Angel had taken over. Aw well, I'll just watch the show. With Angel's personality, the Titans' reactions will be a blast. Just as long as he doesn't give them too much of a hint.

Smirking, I went into a meditative pose and watched the show.

Raven's POV

I stared at him in utmost surprise. The others weren't faring much well either. The mere fact that Red X, THE Red X had said Robin's name was something close to the start of the apocalypse. And that sentence he said, it was completely unlike the Red X we knew to say that. I glanced at my team mates, Beast Boy was gaping at him like a fish out of water, and Cyborg was close to malfunctioning. Robin was just plain staring, and Starfire was dumbfounded. And me, well, my emotions were thinking up a lot of things. Happiness was stating that he had completely lost it. Intelligence was saying that the strain had gone to his head and he had lost it. Rage was muttering something about angels. Timid was out from the shock. And Brave was shouting that he was high on something. In majority, I think Red X had lost it.

"Is it really that much of a shock that I would speak your name? I did not expect my reputation had reached this level." Red X mused loudly to himself.

"Dude! You're sounding like a hippie! Are you high on something or have you completely lost it!" Beast boy shouted.

"It seems you are right, I am sounding like those peace loving, life inveterate men. But I have to completely object to me being intoxicated or delirious for I certainly do not use drugs." If anything, his statement just made everyone more creeped out.

After a long pause, he sighed loudly. Muttering something about humans. "If that's what you want then very well. My proposal was that if any of you manage to kick my ass without using any weapons or powers one by one then I lose. To keep it fair, I won't use my weapons too. NOW do you believe me?" He asked with a soft growl of anger at the end.

"We accept your challenge X." Robin replied, seemingly calmed down after his speech.

"Very well Robin." I saw Robin flinch after hearing him say that. "Who goes first?"

"Me." Robin replied before jumping and performing a flying kick at X.

He dodged it with little effort, sidestepping Robin, X sent a karate chop to his neck. One which he easily dodged. Robin performed a roundhouse kick but X merely ducked then performed an uppercut. Robin blocked it with his left and his right blocked a straight punch from X. After scanning the situation, X broke apart and performed a backflip where his feet were supposed to hit Robin's head. Robin backstepped to avoid it. X landed on his feet, and in a sudden rush, started flinging punches and kicks in insane speed. He wasn't using his powers, that's for sure since his hands weren't glowing, but his speed was questionable since even Robin couldn't dodge it. After a half a minute of this beating, X suddenly cartwheeled backwards. "It seems I lost control for a while there. Sorry about that. I kind of lose it when I get into a good fight." X apologized. "Why… 'wheeze' are you apologizing." Robin asked while trying to catch his breath.

"Because I could've killed you. And I don't kill." X replied before suddenly punching Robin with a brutal right sucker punch. Sending him crashing to a nearby pillar and breaking it. Knocking him out.

"I didn't kill him. So it's not against the rules." X turned around to face them. "Who's next?" Starfire stepped forth. "You will pay for harming Robin."

"Whatever Kori, let's just get this over with." The titans gasped at his statement. How did he know Starfire's real name? "Shut it. I don't want any questions." X growled out.

"Dude, do you have somekind of a split personality or something?" Beast Boy asked.

"Close, but not quite." He replied. Before rushing Starfire.

He slammed into her. He continued running until 3 more pillars more broken before stopping. He dropped the unconscious Starfire on the ground.

Once again, everyone could only stare at him.

"WHO'S NEXT." He asked in that voice again. I was visibly shaking now, scared of- of…… HIM.

Red X's POV

Red X's mind

Gods gods gods, this isn't happening.. right? I stared at them, and back at me. Yup, it's happening.

"Angel! What happened over there!" I shouted to the white winged apparition behind me.

"This isn't good Jonathan. Devil somehow managed to take over, quite possibly from the negative emotions they're radiating and close proximity to Raven."

"Then how are we gonna stop him!"

"…… I have no idea."

I could only stare at him in shock. "None?" Anger replaced my bewilderment as I punched his cheek with rage I never wanted to see again. "You have no idea how to stop him, yet you're the one who probably started this mess?!" I shouted.

"I might be able to help." We turned around to see the personality I created walk in.

"And how do you propose that?"

"As you know, I'm merely a personality created by you." He pointed to me. "Therefore, I have absolutely no regrets to stop existing for the sake of your reputation."

"Let me guess, you'll use your own little mind to break his connection."

"Yes."

"How long will that take?" I asked.

The Red X apparition brought his hand to his face as if thinking. "It'll take me 7 minutes and 23 seconds. When I break the connection I want you take over at once." He paused for a while. "We just have to hope the titans last that long." He gestured to the 'screen'. I nodded. "Time to go. And Jonathan?"

"Yeah?" "

"Thank you for bringing me into existence. Even if it was only for a few months. And one more thing, try to annoy Bird-boy more will you?" He requested before vanishing from existence. I turned to Angel.

"What now?" I inquired.

"We wait, and hope your creation succeeds." He answered before shifting to a meditative position.

"Very well." I did the same, hoping for the best……

Devil's POV

I looked at those, those… weaklings. Why Jonathan even wasted his time on them was beyond me. No matter, my plan was a success, and if it continues then that Raven girl will be mine. "Once again I ask. Who's next." I growled threateningly to the remaining Titans.

"Did you see what he did?! I'm forfeiting my match! I don't want to get pummeled!" Grass stain exclaimed before turning into a beagle and hiding behind the tin man.

"Very well. Only two left Titans. Who's gonna go first." Seeing that both of them were hesitating, I decided to make the first move. I ran at full speed at the tin man, and jumped at the last instant to avoid his punch. I landed a few feet behind him. I craned my neck to avoid a blast from his sonic cannon. "I thought I said no weapons or powers?"

"Well, with all those stunts you pulled, it's hardly believable that you weren't using any. So to heck with the challenge!"

"Very well. You may all use your powers." I paused as if remembering something important. "But I don't need mine to beat you." I finished in time to jump and avoid a green triceratops intent on impaling me. I landed on its back and with inhuman strength, punched it. Even with the natural armor it had, it was a paltry defense compared to my power. I was rewarded with a short snort of pain from the dino, who soon turned into the grass stain in his human form. "Pathetic." I commented just before punching the objects Raven had thrown at me with her powers. Heh, well, at least she can still react even after all that I did.

I got too caught up in my ego that the dolt managed to nail me a starbolt, flat on my head. I was sent flying and crashing into a wall, breaking it. Dang it, they've all recovered. Alright. So they want to play rough huh? I'll give them rough, oh I will……

I ran forward, straight into their midst, I blocked the Bo staff hits of Bird-boy, and dodged the rest of their attacks by jumping and cart wheeling away from them. I landed a few meters away from them, right, time to finish this.

I jumped sideways to avoid another starbolt barrage, cartwheeled to miss the collection of objects thrown at me by Raven. Grass stain came in as a velociraptor, with little effort, I grabbed its legs and threw him at them in insane speed. Luckily for them, he turned into himself again to lessen the impact. That gave me enough time to close the distance.

Walking up to Bird-boy, I blocked his staff with my hand and an instant later –'CRACK'- it had split in the section where I had gripped it too tightly. Taking advantage of his surprise, I kicked him on the face (yes, he did that while standing straight) sending him flying, but before he could hit anything, I had already appeared behind him and punched his spine with brutal precision and power. (no, he didn't teleport. He's just really fast) this move earned me a scream of pain before I silenced him with a chop to a certain nerve to his neck.

The dolt, thinking I had killed him, rushed me. A wrong move on her behalf, I used her momentum and my strength when she reached me to slam her face down on the ground. Creating several large cracks and rendering her unconscious.

The tin man started firing, I dodged it all and in the same speed I used on bird-boy, ran right in front of him. Wordlessly, I punched through his chest. After finding the proper wiring, I snapped my hand backwards and watched, as he fell down on the ground. He wasn't dead, he just needed his circuits repaired.

Grass stain turned tyrannosaurus and charged at me. I merely stared at it, and once it was within my range, I grabbed it. Raven and grass stain could only stare in shock as I pushed backwards an all-out 6 ton charge of pure muscle. Readying myself for my next move, I lifted him. And slammed him on the ground, creating a very large crater. I watched with a hint of amusement as he slowly turned back to normal, only his body was covered in bruises and cuts, added to his burns from a while ago and unconscious.

I stared at the defeated titans. Like I said, I could've just beaten them if I wanted to. Even without my powers. I turned to Raven, the last titan standing, but only because he wanted her to be. "Well, now that the distractions are taken care of, why don't we just chat?" I asked her, who was considerably shaking with fear.

I grinned behind my mask. It was finally falling into place. "Scared? You should be. You're following the same fate as your mom." She twitched at this statement. Heh, all the better. I clenched my fist and slowly walked towards her, she fired a blast of darkness, but that was to be expected. I dodged it and cleared the last few steps. "Don't resist." I said as I grabbed her hands to stop the energy flow.

"P-p-please… don't…" She managed to stutter. I didn't say anything, I hit a nerve on her neck. Disabling her motor control. She fell limp on the floor. Conscious, but unable to do anything but involuntary actions. She gasped for breath as I leaned in close to her face. "Let's get this over with." I clutched the neck of her leotard, and ripped off a large fraction of it. She started crying again. As if that will work, I grabbed the other part of her Leotard that wasn't ripped of. I smirked, I'll mark her soon enough.

The Red X's POV

I looked at what was happening, now was the time, I cannot let Devil put shame on Jonathan. I focused more of what was left of my power and severed Devil's connection.

"Jonathan! Now!" I screamed before my mind faded from existence. Ahh, goodbye world……

Jonathan's POV

I seized my chance, jumping in place and wrenching control away from Devil, who had screamed in pain in front of the surprised Raven after having his link severed. Devil struggled for a little more, but it was fruitless, he was too tired and beaten after being disconnected.

Slowly... I regained control, my senses coming back with a passion. I stared at Raven, it had almost happened again. I swiped the nerve he had hit and her motor control returned. "I'm sorry." Was all I could say before I used my teleportation to appear on the rooftop of a neighboring building.

I turned around and ran, I had to get another session with THEM this was all getting too complicated…

Cross: You're probably wondering what happened right? Well, apparently, Red X is merely a created personality, he needed someone that could act like a badass. That's why he created him. Also, as time passed, Red X influenced him to start acting like himself, so after Red X ceased to exist (or merely almost ceased to exist) he stopped acting like him and returned to his old attitude. Simple as that. You've also probably noticed that whichever side he is, he always calls Raven, Raven. Also, the POV with 'the' in it is the Red X personality's POV. And Jonathan is, well you know.

I know this chapter isn't like my last one. I think it's bad. But don't worry, in the next chapter, Red X will reveal his identity. Not to them but to you. Yes you Reader.
