Part 82: Peeping Toms

The Titans have finally reached the Snake Forest. Tired from their battle with the zombies, they decided to set up camp and relax for a while. The forest (Snake Forest) was appropriately named due to the vast species of snakes, which inhabit it. However, due to this reason, the girls weren't too keen on this place.

"AIIIEEEEE!' Terra screamed and ran behind Beast Boy to hide after she saw a tree snake

See what I mean.

Anyway, they were currently setting up camp. The girls had gone to the river to collect water and catch some fish as well as take a relaxing bath. The Knights all went to collect firewood and some edible fruit. This left Robin, Beast Boy and Cyborg to pitch up the tents.

Let's see how the Knights are doing, shall we?

"No wonder this place is called the Snake Forest," Draco said as he held some twigs under his arms.

"I kind of like it," Shadowcobra admitted as he looked around.

"Of course you'd like it. The place is full of snakes and you are the snake knight, right?"

Shadowcobra shrugged and smiled. He turned to Genosnaker and nodded. The giant cobra hissed and went to pick some fruit for its master. "Genosnaker seems to like it as well." Shadowcobra tugged at the straps of the sack he was carrying on his back. It was almost full. "We better go look for Pluto, though."

Pluto was using Cerberus to sniff around the area for some of the Gamemasters' spies. After the whole zombie incident, he volunteered to go check for some of their minions. Currently, there weren't any.

He was also holding a few logs under his arms.

"The Gamemasters are watching, I can feel it," he said. He saw a nearby river. "Isn't that where the girls are?" He walked closer to get a better look. Suddenly, his eyes went wide with surprise before he hid behind a rock. His heart was beating fast with both fear and excitement. Why, you ask?

THE GIRLS WERE NAKED AND TAKING A BATH IN THE RIVER, THAT'S WHY!

Pluto continued to spy on the girls as they bathed.

"The water is very pleasant!" Starfire said happily as she splashed some water over herself.

"I'll say," Jinx agreed while scrubbing her body.

"I don't know, guys," Raven was very nervous about bathing with others, especially out in the open.

"Lighten up, Rae!" Terra chimed in. "Just relax and enjoy yourself." Terra, who had been on the road a lot, must've really been use to this.

Raven was looking around, nervously. "I just feel like someone's watching."

Jinx grinned, "I think I know who you want to be watching!" Raven blushed and Jinx laughed.

Terrs goggled, "As if you don't, Jinx! I know a certain red knight who'd like to see you in your birthday suit!" This time it was Jinx's turn to blush.

"You have a birthday suit, friend Jinx?" Starfire asked curiously and innocently. The other girls stared at her and then explained what a birthday suit meant. Starfire blushed. "Oh."

"What are you doing?" Shadowcobra asked Pluto. Pluto's face went white and his eyes widened as he turned around to meet the eyes of his dhampire friend and comrade.

"Nothing!" Pluto squeaked

Draco noticed something, "Hey, aren't those the girls?" Then he realized something else. He glared angrily at Pluto. "What the hell do you think you're doing?"

Shadowcobra noticed this too and turned to glare at the dog knight. "You…" his eyes glowed crimson. "…VOYEUR!"

The girls heard them and whirled their heads in their direction. They screamed and then tried to cover themselves.

The Knights looked at each other and then back at the girls.

"Uh oh," Pluto said.

"Crap," Draco added.

"This can't be good," Shadowcobra finished.

Starbolts, boulders, glowing black trees and hexes were being flung at the three Knights who were running for their lives.

"This is your entire fault!" Shadowcobra screamed at Pluto, barely avoiding a boulder aimed for his head.

"Me? You were the one who screamed!" Pluto shot back as he jumped over a Starbolt.

"Could we talk about this later?" Draco suggested. "After all, we are RUNNING FOR OUR LIVES!" Draco yelled as he dodged a tree. An overhead hex wave hit a tree, causing it to fall in front of them.

"You're on your own," Shadowcobra turned into shadows and disappeared.

"I'm outta here." Draco teleported away in a pillar of flames and disappeared.

Pluto watched in fear as the still dripping wet, but clothed, angry super heroines advanced dangerously upon him. He gulped. "Please, not in the face," he begged. "Now girls," Pluto started, "Don't do anything you'd regret." He was sweating bullets. The girls were pissed and weren't taking any prisoners. "Girls. Stop. No. ARRRGGGGGHHHHH!"

Pluto's pain filled screams spread all over the forest, sending animals hiding and birds flying

"What the hell was that?" Robin asked as he whirled his head around. He, Cyborg and Beast Boy heard the scream and were looking around in confusion.

"A pervert getting what he deserved," Shadowcobra said calmly as he sipped his tea. Draco nodded in agreement as he set up the fire.

Another painful howl was all Robin needed before he left with Cyborg and Beast Boy to check it out. Shadowcobra chuckled slightly.

Meanwhile, back in the real world, Gizmo, Mammoth and Blackfire had arrived in front of the Black Clown. Noticing that the door was open, they went in. They found a huge hole in the middle of the room and decided to check it out.

"You should check it out," Blackfire said as she looked at Gizmo.

"Why me?" Gizmo countered.

"Because, you're the smallest," Blackfire explained, "You got more maneuverability."

"The hole's big enough for all of us!" Gizmo shot back, glaring at Blackfire.

"Why don't we all go in?" Mammoth suggested, not wanting an argument to break out. "Jinx and Draco might be in danger."

Gizmo sighed. "You're right, Mammoth. To hell with the Titans. Jinx and Draco are our friends!"

"Not to mention, my sister's in there too," Blackfire added.

"On the count of three," Mammoth began, "One-"

"THREE!" Blackfire exclaimed as she pushed the two into the hole and then followed after them.

"ARRRGGGGGGHHHH!" Both Gizmo and Mammoth screamed as they slid down the hole. Blackfire decided to enjoy herself along the way.

"This is cool! Kinda like one of those slides in those Earth playgrounds!" Blackfire smiled.

They landed in a room. Unfortunately, Gizmo landed first, then Mammoth dropped on top of him.

"GET OFF ME YOU HAIRY SNOT MUNCHING APE!" Gizmo screamed as he struggled to get out from under his teammate.

Blackfire floated down and helped the two up. Then she noticed something strange. Gizmo and Mammoth noticed this too.

"Whoa," they all said in unison.

Before them were the Titans, strapped in chairs and wearing helmets over their heads. The helmets were attached to a very large computer. Gizmo drooled. Oh, the possibilities.

Blackfire went to the unconscious form of her sister and attempted to take the helmet off. Gizmo grabbed her by the wrist with one of his mechanical claws.

"Let go!" Blackfire yelled.

"No, don't! If I know this thing, it's a VR simulator. They are trapped in VR and if we take the helmets off now, they might be trapped in cyber space for good. " Gizmo explained to her.

Blackfire grimaced and then let her arms fall to her side. "Koriand'r," she mumbled. She came all this way to apologize and now her only sister was trapped in a VR world.

"There maybe a way to save them, though," Gizmo said.

"What?" Mammoth asked. He was standing near the chairs where Jinx and Draco were sitting in.

"One of us has to go in there and rescue them."

"I'll go," Blackfire volunteered.

"Very well," Gizmo said as he took out some of his tech and tools, "Let's get to work."

All three of them smiled.

"Ow," Pluto messaged the bump on his head as well as the swelling on his cheek. He also sported a few cuts and bruises.

"Serves you right," Shadowcobra said as he meditated next to Raven.

"I didn't mean it, okay!" Pluto retorted.

It was already night and the Titans were gathered around the fire. They were having the fish they had caught as well as the fruit they had collected.

"Whatever you say," Draco said sarcastically as he took a bite out of a fish. Jinx sat close to him, almost touching him even. Actually, she had her hand on his thigh.

"Peeping tom," Jinx hissed at Pluto.

"Pervert," Terra added.

Most of the other guys were slightly mad at Pluto as well as the girls. Only Starfire had forgiven him. Cyborg of course asked him about how the girls looked, earning himself a beating as well.

Pluto explained, "I was looking for spies or any of the monsters the Gamemasters might've sent. I found the girls by accident. Then Draco and Shadow showed up and yelled so loud, the girls couldn't help but notice."

"You're still a voyeur," Shadowcobra said as he continued to meditate with Raven.

"At least things couldn't get any worse."

Suddenly, a pillar of light appeared in the circle formed by the Titans. The light faded to reveal…

"BLACKFIRE?" The original Titans exclaimed.

"SISTER?" Starfire exclaimed.

"Um, Hi?" Blackfire said, nervously.
