Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans!
Hey everyone! Sorry I didn't update earlier, but I've gone and caught a bug or something and now my head feels really hazy and fuzzy. Definitely not good for writing properly. Anyway, enough of my excuses. On with the story!
Chapter 10
And thus the war was on.
Kole and Jericho were laughing and holding hands as they walked through the hallway to the Common Room. Jericho had taken Kole to the park and played his guitar for her, much to her delight. But since they were in Jump City for a mission, they decided not to stay away for too long and headed back.
When they got close to the door to the Common Room, the two of them stopped as they heard shouts and explosions coming from the other side of the door.
"What is that?" Kole wondered out loud.
Jericho gave her a confused look and shook his head. Taking a few steps forward, the door automatically opened…revealing a war zone.
Cyborg and Jinx were on one side of the room standing behind the overturned couch, firing sonic blasts and hexes at Bumblebee, Aqualad, and Speedy (who was still wearing the ballerina outfit) were on the other side of the room behind the kitchen counter. When the two stopped, they ducked underneath the couch as the three Titans East members returned fire with electricity, arrows and water. In between the two groups, Kid Flash and Mas y Menos were zipping around each other, trying to knock the other off balance.
Kole and Jericho glanced at each other before running to different sides of the room. Jericho ran up to Cyborg and tapped him on the shoulder.
The cybernetic teen turned around as he crouched behind the couch and furrowed his eyebrows. "What do you want, Jericho?" He asked as one of Speedy's arrows flew by overhead.
Jericho raised an eyebrow and signed, 'What's going on? Why are you fighting?'
Cyborg practically growled his answer. "Because these idiots broke my T.V.!" Jericho gave him a confused look but before he could ask anything else, Cyborg yelled as he rose up and fired his sonic cannon. "Come on and get a piece of Cyborg!"
Kole had to jump out of the way as Cyborg's blast shot past her. "Hey! Watch it Cyborg." She shouted.
Cyborg sweat dropped as Jericho glared at him. "Uh, sorry." Before he could say anything, he and Jericho had to duck to avoid a blast of water Aqualad shot at them from the sink. "Is that all you got fish stick?" Cyborg yelled, waving his sonic cannon.
Unfortunately for him, Cyborg didn't see the crackling pink glow coming from behind him. Jericho noticed it and, his eyes wide with fear, he tapped Cyborg's shoulder to get his attention. "What is it this time Jer-"He stopped as he turned around and saw a dripping wet Jinx glaring daggers at the Aqualad. "Uh oh." He muttered.
"Bad. Decision." Jinx hissed through clenched teeth. Raising her hands, she fired a hex straight at the Titans East members.
At the same time, Bumblebee raised her stingers and yelled, "I don't think so!" She shot electric zaps to intercept the hex Jinx was sending at them.
Kole rolled her eyes at the two sides, losing her patience. "That's it. I've had enough." Jumping between the two shots, she turned herself into crystal. Instead of the two shots of energy hitting the crystal girl and causing an explosion, the were absorbed into her body.
Seeing what his girlfriend was going to do, Jericho quickly made eye contact with Cyborg and phased into his body. Once he was in control, he quickly grabbed the stunned Jinx and hauled her off to the side.
Once they were out of the way, Kole released the energy stored in her body, creating a beam that ripped straight through the windows and shot out over the bay.
Kid Flash glanced at Mas y Menos, who were off to the side of the main fight. "This isn't going to end well."
The Titans were sneaking through a dark hallway. The only light came from candles that lined the walls, giving the hall an eerie quality.
"Uh, dudes?" Beast Boy yawned quietly. "Where are we going?" After discussing things for a while, they had all decided to get some sleep. At least that's what Beast Boy thought until Raven shook him awake and dragged out into the hall with everyone else.
"Keep it down, Beast Boy." Robin whispered sternly. "We don't want anyone hearing us."
Beast Boy smiled sheepishly. "Heh, sorry."
Robin nodded his head, accepting the apology. "We're looking for something that could lead us to Alistor." He said quietly as they passed a door. As quietly as he could, Robin opened the door just enough for him to peer inside. The room looked just like the one they were staying in. Another guest room. He shook his head. "Nothing."
They started down the hall again, but they'd barely reached the next door when there was a sudden gust of wind ripped through the hall, blowing out all the candles and turning the hall pitch black.
"Star, give us some light." Robin whispered.
Starfire raised a hand and readied a starbolt, casting a green light through the hallway. They took a quick look around but they didn't see anyone. They all breathed a sigh of relief. "I believe that we are-."
Starfire was cut off as a voice from behind them said, "Might I ask what you four are doing?" With a yell of surprise, the four Titans whirled around to find Cass standing behind them.
"Dude!" Beast Boy shouted. But before he could yell anything else, Raven slapped her hand over his mouth and gave him a small glare. The changeling sweat dropped and mutely nodded his head at his girlfriend's warning.
"We were-." Robin started, but he was cut off as Cass raised his hand to silence him.
"Let me guess." The Observer said. "You were searching for Alistor."
The Titan's eyes widened in surprise and Cass couldn't help but smile a little. "It seems I was right." Lifting his staff, a bright light came out of the crystal star on top of his staff. "If that's the case, please follow me. There's someone who'd like to see you."
I know it's not much, but please let this be satisfactory until I get shake off this thrice blasted bug I've caught. Ugh. Until then, see you all later!
How are things going to work out at Titans Tower? And who is it that wants to meet the Titans? Next time in Chapter!
Remember to review and make me happy! :)
