Teen Titans: One Rainy Day
Chapter 34
The News
The five teenage heroes sat in their living room watching a marathon of their favorite show 'Monkey Ninja' when a news popped up on the screen.
"Breaking news!" a man said, "Jump city is being attacked by mutant animals…"
"Man! They always interrupt…" began Beastboy but was shushed by Robin, who was listening intently.
"Where are the teen titans when you need them?" was the man desperate cry.
Robin stood from the couch, and turned off the television. He turned to his team, "Trouble!"
They all nodded, and stood. Beastboy was grumbling the whole way to the scene of the crime.
"Trouble just has to come when I am watching my show!" complained Beastboy, "No they don't come when that boring show 'The little house on the prairie is on' but they have to come on when something good is on!"
"Shut up!" screamed Raven.
Beastboy didn't hear her or just plain out ignored her, kept complaining, "Why don't we let the cops do something for a change?"
Raven threw her book at Beastboy to shut him up. It hit on the back of the head.
"Ouch!" he yelped rubbing his head where the book had hit him. He slumped down in his seat and mumbling "Meany…"
Cyborg skid the T-Car to a stop as they arrived. The place was in ruins. Citizens were running and screaming as if their lives depended on it. The team quickly got out of the T-car. They paused. They knew there was one Gatorgrouch but now there was not one but five.
"Wow!" cried Beastboy.
"Was there not only one last time?" asked Starfire.
Cyborg nodded, still unable to speak as to the shock of finding triple the trouble.
"Beastboy you take that one," said Robin taking up his leader-mode, "Raven you can stop that one, and Starfire you stop that one over there, I will stop this one, and Cyborg…Cyborg!"
Coming out of his stupor, he said "Huh? I mean yeah?"
"You take on that one over there." commanded Robin.
Cyborg nodded.
They all charged at their different targets. It was five against five, seemed easy enough. Robin charged at one throwing exploding disks at it. It roared in pain but it did not quit that easily. Robin took out his Bo staff and started attacking it with it.
"Get ready to eat my sonic blast!" Cyborg yelled loudly, switching his right arm into a sonic blaster. He aimed his target and blasted it with all his might.
"ARGH!" the monster cried out in pain.
"Bo-yeah!" cried out Cyborg happily but then shut up as he saw it rise again.
It ran towards Cyborg, claws out ready to attack.
"Uh…oh!" whispered Cyborg seeing the attack coming.
The monster hit Cyborg sending him flying into the wall of the shopping-mart. Stars spun around Cyborg's head, he rubbed the back of his head. He stood, wobbling a bit. "Ouch…" said Cyborg.
Starfire was in the sky, throwing star bolt after star bolt at the green gator thing. It seemed that her star bolts were doing the opposite of what they were supposed to do. The Gatorgrouch copy was growing in size with every star bolt threw his way. Starfire who had been busy trying to fight him off had not noticed this yet. As she came face to face with the creature, she stopped shock. For one thing she was still flying in the sky, and he had been feet below but now was face to face with her.
"How did…" she began before she was hit by the Gatorgrouch copy, sending her falling to her doom on the ground which never came.
Robin saw her falling and ran to catch her screaming "Starfire" quite loudly. She landed softly in his arms.
She opened her eyes, "I am unharmed?" she asked.
He hugged her, just happy that she had not gone splat on the ground and was still here and with him.
"Yes…" he said.
"Uh Robin?" asked Starfire awkwardly.
"Yeah?" he hummed.
"You may let me down, now." she said still being hold in his arms.
"Oh right, sorry…" he said embarrassed putting her back down on her feet.
Beastboy charged at his target as a Rhino. UMP! When he looked up, he was surprised to see that the copy was still standing in perfect condition. He turned back into his human form, scratching his chin, he said "Weird…" all of a sudden he got an idea. A light bulb blinked above his head.
"Was I the only one who saw that?" asked Cyborg.
The others all shook their heads indicating that they too saw that.
"Cyborg!" called Beastboy.
"Yeah?" asked Cyborg.
"The tranquilizers…" he said.
There was a sudden silence. Raven broke the silence by saying "You had those all this time and you didn't say anything!?"
Rubbing the back of his neck he said "I…uh…forgot…"
Raven rolled her eyes. "Well let's use them now."
Cyborg nodded taking out five out of his storage pouch. He handed one to each of the team members, keeping one with him.
With her powers, Raven charged the dart at the unsuspecting creature. It hit it on the side of the neck, sending it falling to the ground in a deep sleep. She rubbed her hands and said "Now that that's done with…"
Beastboy threw the dart at the giant copy. "Timber!" he shouted as it fell. Raven rolled her eyes at his lame joke, and with her powers made the fall less deadly.
Cyborg aimed the dart at the creature. Before it could even respond it was on the floor asleep. "Well that was easy as pie…" he said, "Hmmm… I could go for a nice piece of pie right now…" he said his mouth watering.
Robin threw the tranquilizer at the beast before him knocking it out cold. He stepped over it, and snatched out of his back pocket a pair of ultra-handcuffs. He put them on the creature's hands.
Starfire silently flew behind the creature. She shut her eyes as she injected it. Even though the creature was a bad-doer, she still felt bad when she needed to inflict pain upon them but she did what she must. The monster collapsed on the ground out cold. Starfire opened her eyes, and saw it there in a sleeping-daze. She flew down to make sure that this strange dart had not in some way caused it any harm. When she felt a hand on her shoulder she jumped startled but calm down as she saw that it was only Robin.
"Robin…these darts will not harm them drastically?" she asked innocently.
Robin shook his head, "The darts don't harm them…just put them to sleep so we can bring them to jail or where ever they have to go."
"Oh…" she said.
Robin turned from her for one second, "Raven could you bring them to the laboratory jail with your powers?" he asked Raven.
Raven nodded, "Yes."
"Good."
