Chapter eight is here and I am finally done with my classes. I am praying and hoping I do well on my classes. Sorry for not updating I know it's been a while but hey now that I'm done with school I can put all my focus on my stories before the next semester.

If I don't do well I will be sad. But that won't mean I'm going to stop writing my stories, since they're the one thing that seems to relief the stress I have when I get back from school. I hope you all enjoy this chapter, here it is chapter eight.

Robots, Hollows, old rivals…oh my

Old Abandon Library

The titans arrived at the abandon library and saw there was no one around. The titans entered the building with caution knowing Slade has something planned. The titans found the secret entrance to the lower levels of the building and walked down the stairs. The old statues that were in the building were gone including the old encryptions that were on the walls. After the titans defeated Trigon they locked the building and sealed the entrance to the lower levels.

When they got to the building they noticed that someone or somebody was already in the facility and was able to unseal the lower levels. Robin knew that it was Slade, since he has been in the building before he must also know how to get back in. As they continued down the stairs Raven paused for a moment looking around and noticed something was not right.

"Raven are you okay?" asked Starfire as she and the others stopped when they noticed Raven stopped.

"I'm fine it's just I could have sworn I felt something down there" said raven as she pointed to down the stairs and into the dark abyss.

"Maybe its Slade or he found someone to help him against us" said beastboy as he looked into the dark abyss.

"Maybe it wouldn't be the first time we deal with someone Slade send to stop us" said cyborg.

"True but the only way we can know for sure is to get down there and find out" said robin as he continued leading the way with the others following him.

Raven looked down again and began to think in her mind what she thought was down there. Whatever is down there, let's hope is someone we can handle on our own.

Titans Tower

Back at titans tower terra was in Hikari's room hoping to convince her to stay with the titans. "Hikari please don't go everyone was just thinking of both your brother and your safety. Don't take it personally" said terra as she pleaded for Hikari to not leave the titans.

"Terra, for as long as I can remember… ever since I became a soul reaper. Everyone thinks I need protection, well guess what I don't need protection. I'm not a little kid anymore I can take care of myself. And if the others don't see that then though cookie then" said Hikari as she finished packing her backpack.

"Hikari that's not true, it's just I know what Slade is capable of and I know what twisted things go on through his mind. I don't want anyone to go through what I went through" said Terra.

"[Sigh] I know Terra, believe me I know you and the others are thinking of our safety and I thank you guys for that. But believe me when I say my brother and I have gone toe to toe with the most twisted, evil, and toughest bad guys in the world and every single one has fallen" said Hikari.

"I think you forgot the most twisted Hikari" I said as I entered the room in time to hear Hikari's little speech.

"Right I forgot about all the little weirdoes we have dealt with in the past. Much weirder than that couch potato guy" said Hikari.

"True but in a way I kind of agree with what robin said Hikari. We have never faced this Slade guy before so we don't know what he's capable of. Besides think about it he said he has been watching us so that means he must know we're soul reapers" I said to Hikari.

"Which means he might know how to defeat or even weaken you guys" said Terra as she finished what Isamu was going to say.

"I guess you're right, still against all of us I doubt he could have beaten us no matter what he had planned" said Hikari as she finished packing her bag. When she finished she turned to face her brother who sat on her chair near her desk. "So it's a trap then right?" said Hikari.

"Yep so now our plan is to find out where our friend Slade is really hiding" I said to Hikari.

"Our best bet is to check out some of his old hideouts and see if we get lucky" said Hikari as she and Isamu discuss their plan.

Terra stood in the middle of the room wondering what Hikari and Isamu were talking about. "Uh guys what are you talking about? What trap are you two talking about?" asked terra.

"Oh well we think Slade isn't at the abandon library. We think he knows the others wouldn't want me and Hikari to go and help them against him. So once they leave he will try and attack us while the others are away" I said to terra.

"You mean he's coming here to attack us? Well I'm sure once the others see that Slade isn't at the library they will come back right?" asked terra who seemed worried that slade might come after her as well.

"We think he's going to distract the titans by using his robots or whatever he has planned to hold off the titans. So while that happens we will go try and find Slade before he comes after us" said Hikari.

"Why didn't you tell the others? We should warn them it's a trap" said terra.

"Don't worry I'm sure whatever Slade has plan they can handle i…" I stopped when I began to hear some howls coming from outside. "Hey do you guys hear that?" I asked.

"Yeah what is that?" asked terra as she could also hear the howls.

"Isamu I know those howls that's…" Hikari's eyes widen when she realized what she was hearing.

I realized what she was going to say so I ran towards the window and opened the curtains. When I opened the curtains I was shocked by what I was seeing. Hikari approached the window with terra and both their eyes opened wide in shock. Hollows were coming from the sky, and not just a few of them, hundreds and hundreds of them were appearing from the sky.

"Guys are those?" asked a surprise Terra.

"Hollows, hundreds of them but how we should have been able to sense them coming before they came into our world" said Hikari who seemed the most surprise.

"Doesn't matter how they got here. What matters is we need to stop them before they harm any innocent civilians or innocent souls" I said as I opened the window and flew out of the room and headed off to stop the hollows.

"Wait Isamu let me contact the others they'll want to know there are hollows attacking the city!" shouted Terra out the window to Isamu. But it was too late Isamu was already heading towards the hollows.

"Terra stay here while we go deal with these hollows" said Hikari as she grabbed her sword and flew out the window as well.

"No way I can help I'm not going to sit by on the sidelines while you two fight" said terra.

"Trust me Terra I know you want to help but these hollows are something we can handle. Just contact the others and tell them what's going on. I'll bet they'll want to know also that their probably walking into a trap" said Hikari.

"Well all right I'll contact them, but if you need my help I'll be here ready to fight" said terra.

"Thanks…oh and also make sure Nicki doesn't try and follow us. Damn dog has been following us in every hollow fight that she gets involved half the time" said Hikari as she headed off to help her brother against the hollows.

"Good luck" said terra. Nicki ran into the room barking at the hollows and wanting to go with Hikari and Isamu. Terra picked Nicki up and held her as they both were watching Isamu and Hikari fight the hollows. Just be careful guys.

The hollows all headed towards the city looking for a soul or a human to devour. Before they could get to the city however Isamu and Hikari stopped them in their tracks. "This is as far as you all will go" said Isamu as he pulled out his sword.

"All right listen up, if you guys want to get to these nice people you'll have to go through us first" said Hikari as she also took out her sword and readied herself for any signs of an attack.

The hollows seemed surprise by the appearance of two soul reapers. For some they didn't know what a soul reaper was and stood mid air wondering who the two kids were. While the others who seem to know what a soul reaper were stood mid air cautiously. Some of the hollows looked at each other before some charged at Hikari and Isamu.

Hikari and I dodge the hollows who charged at us and split up. Two of the hollows tried to tackle me but I used my speed to dodge both the hollows and show up behind them cutting both their heads off. I looked over and Hikari did the same only she kicked the hollows head off and the other she cut the hollows face in half. When we finished destroying the hollows the rest of them seemed surprise by what they just saw. Couldn't blame them if I saw some kids killing two hollows without breaking a sweat I to would be surprise and a little scared.

"All right here's what's going to happen. All of you will go back where you came from and never come back again. If you don't leave now we will have no choice but to destroy you all" I said as I pointed my sword to the hollows showing them I meant what I said.

"Awfully confident in yourself aren't you boy?" said a voice behind the hollows.

Hikari and I turned our attention to see who it was behind the hollows. The hollows moved out of the way for the man standing behind them. The man was wearing a red coat and hood covering his head. Hikari and I didn't recognize him till he removed his hood.

"Huh it's been a while hasn't it…Tetsip" I said as Tetsip revealed himself to Hikari and me.

"Hmmm it has been a while Isamu Ishida…ah yes and of course your little sister Hikari Ishida I see you've gotten taller since the last time we've met and more beautiful as well" said Tetsip.

"Sorry you're not my type Tetsip. What are you doing back here anyways? Here to tell us where your coward of a master is hiding" said Hikari.

"Well sorry to disappoint you girl but you're not my type either and you're not that pretty enough for me to be interested. In fact I doubt there's a boy out there who would be interested in a weakling like you" said Tetsip with a smirk on his face.

"I'll show you weak you bastard" said Hikari as she tried to attack Tetsip till Isamu stopped her.

"Calm down Hikari he's just trying to make you make a mistake. Besides who cares what he says Hikari I have seen a lot of guys trying to ask you out on a date" I said to Hikari.

"Really aw thanks big broth…wait why haven't I seen these guys ask me out then?" asked Hikari.

"Oh well you were still too young to date in my mind so I told them you weren't interested" I said to Hikari.

There was a bit of silence in the air till Hikari broke the silence by grabbing Isamu by the collar and looked angry. "What the hell Isamu why did you do that?" asked Hikari in an angry tone.

"Well you were 12 at the time and I didn't think you were ready to date anyone yet. Besides the people who wanted to ask you out were snotty rich kids and I know you don't like those kind of guys" I said trying to get Hikari to let go of me. But her tight grip made it impossible to remove her hands from my shirt collar.

"I do hate those kind of guys. But doesn't mean I wouldn't mind using them to get me something to eat or buy me some clothes" said Hikari as she tighten her grip.

"Hikari that's wrong. Sure it sounds like fun doing that to the rich kids but that doesn't mean you should do it" I said to Hikari as I can feel her grip on my shirt tighten even more.

"Your one to talk didn't you go out with that rich girl so she can buy you food and sleep with her" said Hikari.

I blushed a little red by Hikari's last statement. "Yes to the food but no to the sleeping with her. And if you ever mention that to Raven I will tell Cyborg that time you 'borrowed' his car to use in a crash derby and blamed it on beastboy" I said to Hikari.

"Uh if memory serves me correctly I made it up to beastboy by buying him that dumb video game he wanted and a new TV for his room. And second you did sleep with her you came out of her house smelling like you had sex" said Hikari.

"How do you even know something like that Hikari?" I asked as I was both surprise and shocked my own sister knew that.

"When you spend time with Master Hanako who you learn some things let me just leave it at that" said Hikari slightly blushing.

"Well I didn't have sex with her she kissed me and then passed out from all the drinking she had which I didn't know she was drinking. And I stayed with her to make sure she was okay then left" I said to Hikari.

"Sure you did just admit it Isamu you will do us all a favor if you admit it" said Hikari.

Before Isamu could respond Tetsip spoke. "As much as I would love to see you two continue arguing I'm afraid I'm on a tight schedule so here is what's going to happen you and me Isamu one on one. As for your sister, you don't mind fighting my hollow friends do you Hikari?" said Tetsip.

"You versus Isamu while I fight a bunch of mindless hollows? That's fine with me and after I'm done with them your next Tetsip" said Hikari.

"Hmmm you may be right about some of these hollows being mindless but you know what they say Hikari. The most mindless creatures can also be the most dangerous. So riddle me this what do you get when you combined an army of mindless hollows?" asked Tetsip as he grabbed something out of his pocket. He turned to the hollow next to him and put whatever he took out into the hollows mouth.

The hollow soon began to roar and began to glow. Soon the hollows around it began to glow as well and then began to merge with the hollow. Soon the light began to glow brighter and soon engulfed the entire area around the hollows until the light dispersed.

Hikari and I opened our eyes after closing them from the bright light that was coming from the hollows. We opened them and saw a cloud of smoke where the hollow was. As the cloud began to disperse we were able to see a dark large figure in the middle of the smoke. As the clouds finally disappeared we saw who it was and were surprise by what we were seeing. It looked to be somekind of humanoid being. He was around 6ft 5inches tall, his body was white and black markings on the sides, it had a long white tail with a black spot as the tip, it was wearing what looked like a soul reaper outfit (same as Ulquiorra Schiffer), and half his face from his nose to his head was covered in a hollow mask while the other isn't.

"Allow me to introduce to you two my new friend" said Tetsip as he introduced Isamu and Hikari to the new hollow. The hollow's eyes glowed yellow and it let out a massive wave of roars and spiritual pressure towards Isamu and Hikari.

"That's-that's a new trick I didn't know hollows could do that" said Hikari who seemed surprise by the hollows transformation.

"They don't, what did you do to it Tetsip?" I asked wondering what Tetsip did to make the hollow change so much in both physical and spiritual.

"All I did was give it a little pill my masters scientists have been cooking up. Just like what happens when hollows come together they become a Menos Grande. But our scientists were able to make some small changes to that transformation and cause the hollows to transform to a smaller but dangerous form" said Tetsip.

"But that's impossible" said Hikari who didn't believe what Tetsip was saying.

"Nothing in the world is impossible my dear. And now thanks to our scientist friends we have created a new type of hollow that not only rivals a soul reaper captains full power…but it no longer needs to devour souls to feed its hunger. What feeds it hunger is killing its enemies, now then my Menos Espada attack the girl and kill her" ordered Tetsip.

The hollow let out one last roar before disappearing and reappearing infront of Hikari. Before Hikari could react the hollow punched her straight in the face sending her into the city streets.

"Hikari hang on!" I shouted as I tried to go help Hikari. But then Tetsip reappeared blocking my path to my sister. "Out of my way Tetsip now!" I warned Tetsip.

"Sorry boy but your fight is with me. I'm sure your sister can take care of herself while you deal with me" said Tetsip.

As much as I hated to admit it, Tetsip was right. Hikari could take care of herself, but as her brother I have to make sure she doesn't get hurt. But in order to get to her I would need to get passed Tetsip. "Fine let's get this over with then" I said as I took out my zanpaktou. "Howl Shiroi ōkami (white wolf)" said Isamu as his zanpaktou transformed.

"Trust me Isamu I won't go easy on you like Yemon or Chiasa did. In fact…" said Tetsip as his hands were engulfed in fire. "I'm hoping you don't hold back because I have no intention on holding back on you" said Tetsip as he shot out a huge fireball directly at Isamu.

Titans tower

Terra was looking out the window from Hikari's room with Nicki watching the fight between Isamu and Tetsip. She could see the fight had already begun and already it seems Tetsip has the advantage. She saw Hikari was struck down by the hollow and wanted to go help her. But she knew she wouldn't be much help. She has seen what Hikari and Isamu can do and knows she would only get in the way of their fight. All she could do was watch the fight and hope they win.

Nicki seemed worried like Terra and wanted to help the others. Terra saw Nicki seemed worried and started petting her. "Don't worry Nicki they'll be fine, I know those two will kick Tetsip and that ugly hollows butt and will be back safe and sound" said Terra.

Nicki barked in response to Terra but soon she turned her attention to something else. Her ears twitched a bit and she looked at the door. She began to growl and bark towards the door.

"Nicki what's wrong what is it?" asked terra wondering what Nicki was barking at. Nicki got off terra and ran out of the room barking at whatever it was barking. "Nicki get back here now" said terra trying to get the dog to come back. But Nicki didn't come back, terra decided to go after Nicki to keep her out of trouble. As she was going to close the window she heard a loud yip from outside the door and a louder one with a thump. Then nothing but silence the barking seized and terra couldn't hear Nicki barking anymore.

"Ni-Nicki you okay what's wrong?" asked terra with a look of concern on her face and tone wondering what happened to the dog. After a few seconds of no response terra decided to check out what happened.

She walked down the halls cautiously and kept her eyes out for any signs of Nicki. She continued walking down the halls till she arrived to the entrance of the common room. As she opened it she saw the dog Nicki in the middle of the room but wasn't moving. "Nicki what happen are you okay?" asked terra as she ran towards the dog and checked on her to make sure she was okay. After a few seconds Terra heard a small whimper coming from the dog which made terra sigh in relief the dog was okay. "Who could have done something like this?" asked terra.

"Who indeed terra" said a dark voice said at the entrance of the room.

Terra looked over and saw who it was. Her eyes widen in fear as the man who harmed Nicki was Slade.

"It's been a long time hasn't it Terra" said Slade as he entered the room with Terra and Nicki.

Abandoned Library

Meanwhile the titans have finally made it to the bottom of the stairs and entered the chamber room where there was once the giant hand of trigon. Now there was nothing there and the hole in where robin and slade descended to find raven was gone as well. The titans looked around and found nothing was there.

"Dude are you sure we're in the right place. Cause there's nothing here" said beastboy as he looked around and saw nothing but old statues.

"I'm sure the transmission came from here. Maybe Slade send us on a wild goose chase" said cyborg.

"Why would slade send us to chase a goose?" asked starfire confused by cyborg's comments.

"It means Slade tricked us. He wasn't going to be here when we arrived it would be too easy. And we let ourselves fall for it" said raven explaining to her Tamaranian friend of what cyborg meant.

"Let's just make sure look around and try to find anything that Slade could have left for us to trace" said robin.

"How about let's not boy wonder" said a women.

The titans quickly got together in a defensive position and got ready for anything.

"Ooooh it seems the titans look like their ready for a fight. Good cause you're not the only ones who are ready" said another voice only this one was a male.

"Who are you? Did Slade send you?" shouted robin.

"Nope he didn't send us or before you ask we don't work for him. We are more like partners to him…for now at least" said the women voice.

"Show yourselves now" said robin.

"If you insist boy wonder" said the male voice as the room was illuminated with lights and ontop of where stood a large statue were two beings. One was a women wearing a black ninja outfit and a scarf covering her face. And the other was a young man wearing the same outfit and scarf, except he wasn't wearing sleeves.

"We meet again teen titans. Allow me to reintroduce myself I am Misa and this is Deathstar. We are the top three Generals of Master Talsein Yamamoto. And we have come to ask you to join us. If you refuse then we will be force to kill you by our master's wishes" said Misa.

"Talsein send you?" asked raven who now seemed worried that Talsein had send once again his cronies to attack them. But mostly attacking Isamu which is what she was worried about.

"That's right little raven. Our master wanted to see if his offer for you all to join us has changed your minds. And before you say you won't think clearly about this because if you choose the wrong answer it may end up costing your lives" said Deathstar.

"We told your master once and we will tell you guys again. No we're not interested in joining a bunch of crooks and murders" said robin.

"We're not crooks or murde…okay maybe we do kill some people. But the ones we kill are the ones you titans fight against, only slightly more insane and dangerous than your petty criminals" said Misa.

"Your master killed our friend's parents just because they refused to join them. Then he harmed our friend terra by taking her away her memories. And your master send assassins to kill us" said starfire as she lighted her starbolts.

"That was a misunderstanding the last statement my dear. Arthur decided to try and kill you titans without our master's permission and knowledge but don't worry he was dealt with personally by our master. Second your friend terra didn't want to remember anything of her past, our master did what she wanted and she betrayed him by refusing to join him. And your friends parents wanted to kill our master in the view of your justice system that's called self defense" said Deathstar.

"He could have disarmed them but no he killed them that's called murder in the view of the justice system and in our view" said cyborg as he had his sonic cannon aimed at Misa and Deathstar.

"It doesn't matter anyways robo boy. The boy's parents are dead and soon you all will be unless you join us, or else we will deal with you right here right now" said Misa.

"Oh yeah you and what army" said beastboy who didn't seem worried.

Misa snapped her fingers and soon the titans were surrounded by the same ninjas they encountered back at the mall. Only the number of the ninjas seemed to have doubled since their last encounter.

"Oh that army" said beastboy surprise as the arrival of the ninja army.

"Beastboy next time never say 'you and what army' because that will only lead to more trouble" said cyborg as he and the others got together and kept their defensive positions.

"Now we ask you one more time. Your either with us or against us" said Deathstar.

The titans looked at each other and knew the odds were once again against them. Any normal person would just quit and join Talsein's group if it meant for them to live. But the titans knew that wasn't the hero or honorable way. They knew if they joined Talsein it would be out of an act of cowardness.

"Misa, Deathstar. We say no" said robin.

Misa looked at Deathstar who looked disappointed at the answer of the titans. "Very well then you leave us no choice…kill them all" said Misa as she snapped her fingers again and soon the ninjas all charged at the titans.
