Rumble at the Mall
Titans tower
Back at the tower Hikari had finished explaining to her master Hanako and Ronin about what she saw. Hikari explained to her masters on her laptop via video phone, from the looks of Ronin and Hanako they seemed very concern.
"Master Hanako what should I do? I want to tell Isamu what I saw and hope he doesn't confront Talsein, but knowing him and his stubbornness he isn't going to listen" said Hikari sounding concern for her brother.
"Yes his stubbornness is really annoying, reminds me of someone I know" said Hanako as she turned over to her grandfather who know who Hanako meant.
"Shut it Hanako, listen Hikari nothing bad will happen to Isamu I promise. Just tell us do you know when this event will occur. Did you see anything that might give us an idea of when Talsein might try to kill Isamu?" asked Ronin, he needed Hikari to tell them anything that could help them find out when Talsein will strike.
"I-I don't remember but I think I saw Isamu was in his bankai form I don't think that is going to help. Hmmmm also he seemed to let his hair grow a little and hasn't shaved in a while" Hikari was trying her best to think of anything else that could be useful.
"Hair and bearded huh…that doesn't help much that boy leaves his hair short and shaves to keep his face clean" said Hanako.
"All right that's enough Hikari for now we will assume Talsein will be striking soon. So I think you should get your brother ready for anything that could happen while we discuss on what to do" said Ronin.
"Oh okay thank you master…also what should I do if I have the dream again and if I should tell Isamu about it?" asked Hikari if she could tell her brother about the dream.
"Write down everything you dreamed about in the premonition. Once you got all the detail send it to us and we will try to figure out when this even will occur. As for your brother don't tell him at least not yet" said Hanako.
"Okay well thanks again master and I hope to see you guys again soon" said Hikari saying her goodbyes.
"Take care little Hikari and keep your brother out of trouble" said Ronin as he waved goodbye to Hikari.
"I'll try bye" said Hikari as she hung up the video phone and turned off her laptop. She sighted and looked at the clock; it was around twelve in the afternoon. She got up from her chair and looked out the window. She saw a dark storm approaching and knew this wasn't a good sign.
"Why is it that everytime something bad happens it always has to involved a dark and depressing storm?" said Hikari as she closed her blinds and headed out her room.
Hawaii, Honolulu
Back at Hawaii Hanako and Ronin were still trying to figure out what to do with what Hikari just told them. Ronin was rubbing his face while Hanako was sitting on her bed rubbing the sides of her head.
"This is bad Ronin, really bad" said Hanako as she lay back on her bed.
"Its not as bad as we think it is. Now we know Talsein will come for Isamu which means all we have to do is wait until he comes and then we will move in" said Ronin as he sat one of the lawn chairs.
"True but we're still not sure when he will come, it could be days, weeks, or months. I think we should consult the soul society before we do anything" said Hanako as she got up from the bed.
"Yeah about that, it seems there is some trouble in the soul society concerning a certain Aizen Sosuke and two other former captains of the soul society who have become rouges… [Cough] to make this story short they have moved Aizen to their number one top priority to find and capture. Talsein will be dealt with after they capture Aizen" said Ronin as he walked towards the mini fridge and grabbed some beer.
"WHAT!" shouted Hanako as she walked towards Ronin and grabbed away the beer from Ronin. "What are you talking about Ronin? You mean to tell me their not going to help us deal with Talsein anymore? I can't believe those idiots have they forgotten what that bastard has done" Hanako was so furious that she kicked the entire wall off causing the hut to fall.
Hanako was patting in rage while Ronin grabbed another can of beer and walked towards her to try and calm her down. "Hanako that's not what their doing, they just think that dealing with Aizen is a little more important especially with what he has plan" said Ronin.
"What could that four eye freak Aizen do that the soul society can't handle" said Hanako was still seemed mad.
"I don't know, but whatever it is has the soul society on high alert. For now we are on our own" said Ronin.
Hanako sighted and decided to listen to her grandfather. "Your right, for now we will deal Talsein on our own and hope we can stop whatever he has plan…so what do we do now?" asked Hanako calming down a little.
"Go see Bruce and find out what Talsein stole hopefully we can find out what Talsein has plan before it begins" said Ronin.
"Okay I guess that leaves you to go see Isamu and the others then?" asked Hanako.
"Yeah I think its time for me to introduce myself to the titans" said Ronin.
"Okay just don't overdue it old man" said Hanako as she grabbed her bag and walked out the hut. Before she left she stopped and turned and faced her grandfather. "Grandpa be carful" said Hanako.
"I will" said Ronin as Hanako nodded and disappearing leaving Ronin alone. Ronin looked at his watch and saw that he still had sometime to himself. He grabbed the mini fridge and headed back to his hammock to relax before seeing the kids.
Titans tower
Back at the tower Terra, cyborg, and beastboy returned from their training. Terra got out of the car and began to stretch a little. She knew she did well, even though they drove for twenty minutes it was still good enough.
"So cyborg how did I do?" asked terra wondering how she did.
"Well I say you did well we will practice more tomorrow but for now I think I'm going to clean my baby" said cyborg as he began to clean his car.
"Hey cyborg what are you going to do with all of this junk?" asked beastboy as he pointed to the desks and blackboard.
"Oh well just leave there I'll take care of it later" said cyborg as he continued to clean his car.
"Okay hey Ter wanna play some video games in the common room?" asked beastboy.
"Uh sure but before we go…didn't cyborg had some stuff on the desk when we left?" asked terra as she noticed the books, some papers, and apple on cyborg's desk were missing.
"Well Isamu was here so maybe he moved them" said beastboy as he headed out the door not caring what happened to the stuff on cyborg's desk.
Terra on the other hand was curious so she walked over towards the desk and found the stuff. They were on the ground scattered all around the floor. Terra picked them up and put them back on the table. Then she found the apple on the ground, from the looks of things someone bit into the apple. She figured it was Isamu who ate the apple so she threw it in the trash and headed up the common room.
In the common room raven was playing chess with robin while starfire went to see Hikari and Isamu was watching some TV. Raven seemed off her game since she and Isamu returned from the garage when they were making out. She still felt a little weird that she did that, she has never done something like that before and wonders if it had anything to do with her emotions.
Before she can think of anything else robin had already won the chess game. "Checkmate raven."
Raven snapped out of her thoughts and saw robin had won. "I guess you did, well done robin" said raven surprise she lost.
Robin noticed that Raven was distracted during the game. He wanted to say something earlier but figured he would use the distraction as an advantage to win. "Sooo raven something on your mind" asked robin deciding to ask what distracted raven from the game.
"It's nothing robin just thinking about what Hikari told me earlier" raven didn't want to tell the others about what Hikari told her, at least not yet.
"So what did she wanted to ask you?" asked robin.
"Um she just wanted to talk that's all it was nothing robin" said raven.
"Oh okay well if it's something important you will tell me right?" asked robin.
Raven didn't want to lie to robin, but knew she had to. She would tell him about what Hikari saw but only if she has to. Just then the doors opened and out came terra and beastboy who had just came back from their driving lesson.
"Hey guys how was the driving?" I asked as terra and beastboy were heading towards the couch probably to play some games.
"Terra did great even though we only drove for twenty minutes terra did well" said beastboy as he sat on the couch.
I got up from the couch to let terra sit next to beastboy. "So why didn't you guys practice in the city, cyborg still doesn't trust you to drive there?" I asked as I sat back on the couch.
"Nah it was going to rain and cyborg didn't want his car to get messy" said beastboy as he grabbed the controls so he and terra could play.
"Huh that's weird the weather report today said it was going to be sunny all day" said robin as he walked towards where the others where.
"Those weather people never get the facts right. I remember a few years ago Hikari and I were going to go to the beach after we heard the weather man says it was going to be sunny with no chances of rain…five minutes after we got there it began to pour down rain" that was the last time I trusted the weather man.
"So I take it you and your sister went back to your house when it rained" said raven as she walked past robin and sat next to Isamu.
"No we stayed and continued playing in the beach. We build mud castles from the muddy sand, we went underwater diving, and caught us some fish that we took back home to cook" when I finished beastboy, robin, and terra seemed surprise that hikari and I stayed in the rain and continued having fun. Raven on the other hand didn't seemed surprise; she has known me for months so nothing about me seems to surprise her anymore.
"Sooo any plans for today mister leader?" I asked robin who didn't like my little comment I made.
"Well we were going to train today but since its raining we will have to postpone it for the day after tomorrow" said robin.
"Ah yes Valentines Day is tomorrow. The day when boyfriends and husbands plan a special day for their love ones a romantic and special day" I turned over to raven who smiled. She knew I was planning something for tomorrow. The only thing I hoped for is that nothing bad happens tomorrow.
Just then the alarm began to go off and robin went to check what the trouble was. "There's trouble at the mall" said robin in a serious tone.
"I'll go tell Hikari and Starfire" I left the room to go find the girls.
"I'll go tell cyborg" said raven as she teleported to the garage.
"All right then let's go" said robin as beastboy and terra followed him out the room.
Downtown
The titans arrived at the mall to find it abandon. Hikari stayed behind telling her brother that she wasn't feeling good and wanted to stay. So it was just cyborg, starfire, beastboy, terra, Isamu, raven, and robin. It was pouring outside the mall, the lights in the mall were still on, but for some of the stores they were off. All around the mall was bags scattered all around the floor, the stores were empty, and the nearby pet store animals were all wimping as if something scared them.
"Wow with the rain, thunder, and emptiness the mall can be a creepy place to be in" I walked next to raven and the others looking out for any signs of trouble. I was wearing my black pants, shirt, shoes, gloves, and coat instead of in my soul reaper form.
"Without any people around this place does seem very creepy like one of horror movies" said beastboy.
"Yo robin did the alarm say who it was that caused everyone here to clear out?" asked cyborg as the titans passed the food court and were heading towards the end of the building.
"The report just said there was trouble, whoever it is we're taking them down" said robin.
The titans walked in the middle of the mall and saw no one was there. "Looks like no one is here maybe it whoever it was left" said beastboy.
"No someone is here…robin and their not alone" said Isamu as he grabbed his sword and held it.
Robin knew Isamu was right as he looked around and saw several shadow figures emerging from the darkness. The titans all got together in a circle and readied themselves for anything.
"Friends of yours Isamu?" asked Terra as she noticed all the figures were wearing ninja outfits and had dark hoods covering their faces only showing their red eyes.
"Terra just because I'm from Japan does not mean I know everyone" I said taking offense to what terra meant.
"I think terra meant is do you know who these guys are?" said beastboy.
I lowered my hand away from my sword and looked towards beastboy. "I know what she meant and I said no I don't know who these guys…" before I could finish one of the ninjas threw a shuriken at me. I caught the shuriken and threw it back at the ninja hitting him in the shoulder. "Hey! Never throw a weapon at someone when their talking!" I shouted to the ninja.
The ninja turned to face the titans and to their surprise he took the shuriken out. But instead of red blood it was black. "Heh looks like our friends here aren't human" said cyborg smiling as he activated his sonic blaster.
"Which means we do not need to hold back" said starfire as she ignited her starbolts.
"Just leave one alive we need to know who these guys work for…Titans Go!" shouted robin as the titans all scattered and charged at the ninjas.
Cyborg used his sonic blaster to take out a few of the ninjas. The rest jumped and threw shurikens at him. Cyborg dodged them and tried shooting them again. The ninjas moved out of the way and all piled on cyborg. Cyborg used his strength to throw the ninjas off him. He grabbed the nearest one and used him as a bat swinging around and knocking out the ninjas till they were all down.
Beastboy and Terra were working together to take down the ninjas that surrounded them. The ninjas all threw their own shurikens at the titans. Terra used her powers to create a dome of rock to protect them. Beastboy transformed into a groundhog and buried himself under the dome and emerged from behind the ninjas. He transformed into a T-rex and used his tail to crush away the ninjas. The other ninjas jumped out of the way and were going to throw their shurikens at him till terra used her powers to lift the ninjas into the sky and threw smaller bullet size rocks at ninjas breaking them all in pieces.
Starfire and Robin were also working together as ninjas from the ground and the second floor of the mall surrounded the group. The top floor ninjas threw their shurikens at starfire while the ones of the ground all used hand to hand combat on robin. Robin was able to out match the ninjas and used his staff to take out most of them. Two of the ninjas came from behind robin and grabbed him by the arms. Robin ran towards a nearby column and flipped over the column and flipped the ninjas over. Robin then threw three of his exploding disc destroying most of the ninjas. Some came out of the smoke and threw their shurikens at him. Robin blocked them with his staff and threw another disc at them with his bird-a-rang cutting the disc in half causing the disc to explode sooner before the ninjas could dodge it. As robin was going to help starfire he noticed that she was already finished taking out the last ninja. Robin smiled as he saw his girlfriend has already taken out the ninjas.
Raven was using her powers to block the ninja's shuriken and use her powers to lift some of the rocks and columns to throw at the ninjas. Some tried to tackle her but she used her powers to grab them and threw them to the ground hard. She looked over her shoulder to look for Isamu. She saw him fighting some of the ninja's sword to knife.
Unlike my friends who take out their enemies fast I like to take my time with my enemy especially if their trained in the arts of martial arts. Though this ninjas aren't as good as the ones I fought in the past. At least those guys think before they attacked. These guys just attack if their data say they can. I took out some of the ninjas with my sword and my speed. I found this to be easy…way too easy. Something didn't seem right about all of this.
Just then one of the ninjas that was still hidden in the dark was behind Isamu. He aimed his shuriken at Isamu and threw it. Raven saw this and used her powers to stop the shuriken just mere inches from Isamu's back head.
I turned around after taking care of the last ninja and saw a shuriken right behind me caught in raven's dark aura. I looked over where the shuriken was thrown and used my flash step to appear behind the ninja.
The titans all got back together and saw Isamu coming down from the second floor carrying the capture ninja and dropping him before the titans all tied up. "Nice work Isamu now all we have to do is find out who send him" said robin.
"If I can hack into its system I will be able to find out what it knows" said cyborg.
"That would work if it was a robot…he's a human" said Isamu as he removed the hood revealing a man who appeared to be in his 30's. He was Asian, had no hair, and had a scar over his left eye.
"How'd you know?" asked terra surprise that the ninja was human.
"Well I didn't till I noticed that some of the ninjas focused their attacks on you guys and less on me. I didn't know why till I sensed a human present nearby. I couldn't get a lock on till raven caught the shuriken. I saw where it was thrown and I found where he was hiding" said Isamu.
"So it looks like you were the target Isamu. The question is who send them?" asked beastboy.
"All right talk who send you?" demanded robin as he grabbed the ninja.
"Nan jeoldae yaegihanda (I will not talk in Korean)" said the ninja in Korean.
"What did you say?" said robin.
"He's speaking in Korean" I said as I recognized the language.
"So you know what's he's saying?" asked starfire.
"Not really I know Chinese, Japanese, and a little Vietnamese but no Korean." I said.
"That's all right we can translate what he says back at the tower. So let's take him back to the tower then and find out who he's working for" said robin as he and cyborg grabbed the ninja.
"You guys go ahead I need to talk to Isamu really quick" said raven.
"Okay don't take too long lets go guys" said robin as he and the other titans took off.
I knew I was in trouble. I could see the expression on raven's face and could sense her emotions. "What's up Rachel?" I asked. Raven approached me with a serious look on her face. In that moment she slapped me across the face with echoes of the slap going around the room. I turned to face raven rubbing my cheek with a look of surprise.
"You idiot you told me you that nothing bad was going to happen and look at what happen. You nearly got yourself killed again, you idiot" said raven as she rubbed her hand after slapping Isamu.
"Rachel I'm sorry I didn't see the guy throw the shuriken I was focused on the ninjas I was fighting at the moment" I said to raven.
"That's not excuse Isamu. You told me nothing would take you away from me…idiot" raven turned away from Isamu not wanting to face him at the moment.
I knew I hurt her I could sense it. I hated what I did and knew I had to make it right. I approached raven and brought my arms around her trying to give her a hug. "Rachel I'm truly sorry I know I hurt you, I was careless and I wasn't thinking. But trust me no matter what I will never leave you. I love you Rachel" I continued to the hug hoping she believes me.
Raven was still a little mad but knew she couldn't stay mad at Isamu for long. She turned to face Isamu and gave him a kiss on the lips. Isamu returned the kiss and they stood this way for a few seconds till raven broke the kiss. "I forgive you…but your still in trouble so from now on if there's trouble I want you to be more careful if not well you know" said raven.
I knew what Raven meant and knew if I was going to stay on her good side I would need to do what she wants. "Rachel you have my word I will be extra careful in fact if there's trouble I will not hesitate to go easy on anyone" I said.
"Good to know now then lets head back and find out who our friend works for" said raven as she headed back to the tower.
"Right lets" I said as I followed raven back to the tower.
Unbeknownst to the titans the entire time they were fighting the ninjas they were being watched by two figures wearing black clothing. the two figures have been watching the whole thing. From the beginning the arrival, the fight, the ending, and the interesting aftermath of what they just saw.
"So the little raven and the little wolf are now a couple huh…interesting its just as the master told us would happen" said the female figure who seemed impressed by what she saw.
"Indeed it looks like things are going as he predicted…when will he be here?" asked the male figure.
"Tonight and he says he's not coming alone" said the female figure with a sly smirk on her face.
"Good to know we should report this to Slade right now" said the male figure.
"I suppose so lets go" said the female figure as she and the male figure disappeared.
Chapter four is done and trouble is coming to Jump City. Will the titans be ready, will Isamu continue to stay on Raven's good side, and will the fat guy who hangs out at the Wal mart find love…all of theses except the last one will be answer on the next chapter. Please leave me some reviews and tell me what you thought of the chapter see ya.
