Wow! I didn't expect to get reviews that quick! Well I worked on this as soon as I finished the last one so here it is!
DisclaimerI do not own the Teen Titans.
Robin was the first one to wake. At first his vision was a little blurry, and everything seemed bright, but then it was clear. He was in a field. On the opposite end was a bright white-and-red striped tent. On the end nearest to him was a fence, and beyond that endless ground, until it reached a hill and nothing could be seen past it.
This was a bit confusing. Why was he here? Where were the others? He wanted to turn around, but his leg got caught on something and he fell. He discovered what tripped him was a leg. A very long black leg. And there were three others just like it, all with hooves on the end instead of toes.
In fact he couldn't even see the legs he was used to. Where were his boots? He observed that the long legs, were attached to a body, and that body was attached to his neck and in turn was attached to his head. Then his memory came flooding back.
That woman in the cloak! She had turned him into a horse! He turned his head to see two other horses in the same field, and one of them green. That one has to be Beast Boy, he thought.
"Beast Boy," he called out, "Wake up!" After yelling his name three or four times, he finally saw his friends eyelids flutter and then open.
Almost instantly Beast Boy's eyes widened. He jumped up looking around wildly. "Who are you?" he asked the big black horse in front of him.
Robin snorted. "Beast Boy it's me!"
"Hey I recognize that voice! Robin?" Beast Boy shook in disbelief.
"Yeah it's me. But who is that?" Robin pointed his nose to the big liver-colored horse on the other side. One of his back hooves was white, but didn't look like a real hoof. It seemed almost metallic.
Beast Boy trotted over to the brown-one and nudged him. "Hey wake up!" The other horse yawned and rolled over. He looked up at Beast Boy, and gave a shrill neigh before a look of recognition and irritation came over his face.
"Beast Boy what are you doing waking me up like that!" he shook his head and asked, "Why are you a horse?" It was Cyborg.
"I Dunno, why are you one?" the changeling retorted.
"What are you talking about? I'm not a-" Cyborg looked down and noticed his hooves. "Oh-Crap I am a horse! How did this happen?"
"I think it was that woman in the cloak." Said Robin.
"Who Raven?" Beast Boy snickered, but received only glares from the other two.
"Speaking of the girls where are they?" Robin stated, and a small prickle of dread appeared as thoughts of Starfire waking up alone and scared flooded his mind.
"I don't know, but you're not going to find them by lying down all day," replied Beast Boy. Robin and Cyborg were still sprawled out on the ground, looking like giant foals.
Robin shot a look of defiance at him, and stretched his forelegs out. He positioned his back legs and pushed up. He staggered a bit, but then balanced his one thousand-pound body on his four legs. Cyborg had carefully watched how he did it, and copied Robin.
"Oh so that's how it is, is it? I bet you can't catch me." Beast Boy began to walk very slowly away, mocking the others at his speed. Angered by his cockiness the other two stretched out their front hoof and placed it on the ground. Then came the other.
At this rate they would never get anywhere, let alone catch somebody. But Robin observed Beast Boy's pace and noticed that when he walked he moved two legs at a time. He tried it and his speed went up greatly. Soon Cyborg caught on and he was as well going fast too. Once you got the hang of it, it wasn't so hard.
Seeing the others catching up, Beast Boy quickened to a trot. They followed as well. He sped up more, and they did too. This continued until all three were at a full gallop, their manes flying like banners behind them.
Suddenly they heard voices behind them. They turned to see two of the handlers watching them laughing. People! Maybe they could help them. Robin trotted over to the men and asked who they were.
The men laughed harder. One exclaimed "Hey Bob, If I didn't know any better I'd say he's trying to talk to us!"
Bob shook his head. "Fred you dummy! Everyone knows horses ain't got the brains to talk!"
The three buyswere shocked! The men didn't understand a single word they were saying!
Fred snorted with laughter. "Hey! Maybe thems'a'looking fer those mares that were with them!" he turned to Robin "Awww! Was one of them mares your sweetheart?"
If he were still human Robin would've been turning fifty shades of red right now. Behind him he heard Beast Boy and Cyborg snickering. But that did mean that Starfire was here all he had to do was find her.
Fred leaned against the fence and patted Robin's head. "Now don't you worry. We moved them to the pen with the other mares. They'll will get a nice home in the auction."
"Say Fred, " Bob exclaimed, "Don't you think that black one would make a fine racer? I mean he's got the legs fer it!"
"Yeah, But I don't think them other ones would be bought. I ain't got no idea how that one became green, but I know that nobody'd want a green horse, and the other one gots a defected hoof, it don't even look real."
Now it was Robin's turn to laugh. Cyborg and Beast Boy just glared.
Bob coughed, "Yup them horses could'a been anything. Too bad they have to be gelded. Come on, lets go get the ropes." and they walked back into the tent.
Cyborg threw Robin a questioning glance, and they both looked to Beast Boy who had a look of shear horror on his face.
"Uh, Beast Boy," Cyborg asked," What's it mean to be gelded?"
Beast Boy looked at them both. "It means that if you want to stay a manthen run!" The last words were thrown over his shoulder as he turned and galloped away.
Cyborg and Robin were confused, until realization dawned on them, and their eyes were wider than the moon.
Robin heard footsteps behind him and turned to see Fred and Bob with ropes calling "Here horsy horsy!"
Robin and Cyborg galloped as fast as they could and even surpassed Beast Boy. Up ahead loomed the fence. There was no other choice but to jump over it. The distance grew shorter until it was right in front of them. They pushed off with their hind legs and soared over it.
Robin was relieved when his hooves touched the ground. He half expected that he wouldn't make it. Now they had to quickly find Starfire and Raven and get out of here before those men caught up.
On the other side of the tent there was another field, but this one held twenty mares. All were different colors, and Robin had no idea what Starfire looked like right now. Ugh! This would take forever to find her.
Robin ran to the nearest mare who was a paint and asked, "Have you seen a mare that calls herself Starfire?"
Almost instantly the mares were crowding around him. He could hear mutterings from them like, "Look! It's a stallion on the outside!" and, "Maybe he plans to take this 'Starfire' away!"
The suddenly one of them yelled, "Oh Oh, Me! I'm Starfire!"
Another one nearby exclaimed, "No she's not! I'm Starfire!"
Soon all of the mares caught on and wailed that they were Starfire, in hopes of escaping. It became a deafening chorus, and Robin seemed to be drowning in it.
Then in the midst of it all he heard a voice call out "Robin!" There was no mistake here. That one was Starfire. He looked up to see an unusually red mare, with green eyes. This was definitely her because, horses didn't have green eyes.
Starfire trotted up with an expression of worry on her face. "Robin," she said, "They have taken Raven!"
"Who! Who took Raven?" this was the voice of Beast Boy and anyone could hear the concern in it.
"A little girl came up and saw her, and said something about a jumper, and offered a lot of money for her. She is being put into their car right now!"
"Then we have to save her!" Everyone stared at Beast Boy. Where had this attitude come from?
The four oddly colored horses galloped toward the parking lot, with Starfire still inside the fence. As they approached the end of the fence, Starfire knew she had to jump, but was unsure weather she could do it.
Robin saw her uncertainty and urged her on with neighs of encouragement. She nodded, and picked up speed. As soon as the came to the fence she leaped, and her front hooves touched the ground in a graceful manner before her back hooves.
Soon all four of them came to the parking lot where they saw a raven colored horse with a white star in the middle of her forehead. Around her neck was a rope, and a girl and her father were pulling hard but the horse wouldn't move. This was Raven, and she wasn't going to go in that trailer without a fight.
The Titans rushed forward, and the humans saw them. The girl grabbed a broom from in her truck and started whacking the closest horse, which was Cyborg. He slammed his body into her, and she fell over.
Robin and Starfire had run up the trailer and were kicking it. It shook a moment, and then each kicked hard at the same. The trailer creaked and groaned, and landed on its side with a loud bang.
The man still had the rope on Raven's neck and was trying to lead her away. Beast Boy charged up to him and reared. In fright the man let go of the rope and ran away.
Raven turned to Beast Boy. "I could've taken care of myself," she said. Beast Boy opened his mouth to say something, but they noticed that the others were leaving and galloped after them.
They were heading to the open grounds to the East, when they passed the mare corral again. "Hey! What about us? We want out too!" One exclaimed. Cyborg ran up to the fence and kicked it several times. Soon it broke and the mares flooded out.
They all charged out and headed east, to the wild lands. Little did they know that this was the beginning of the greatest journey of their lives.
Well here's Chapter Two! If you didn't get what being "gelded" means then I'll explain (I don't think I should have to but still some people might not understand) A gelding is a Horse that's been "fixed" or in dog terms neutered. There you have it. Please review.
