The Titans arrived downtown to see that all the stores had shattered windows, smoke emanating from within the store, and holes all over the walling of each store. They tried to think who would cause all this destruction and yet not take anything from the stores themselves. They heard more laser fire and an explosion around the corner and rushed to see what it was.

Smoke was everywhere but they were able to make out a large person using a weapon destroying the surrounding area. "Maybe you should quit while you're ahead," Robin stated loudly to the villain in front of them. The villain ceased his firing and turned around.

The smoke began to clear away and the villain became clearer. He was rather large and black. It appeared to be fur. He also had a belt across his chest. It was then they realized that it was a gorilla but they couldn't make out who it was yet because they couldn't see his face. "Curious, was it from all the firing, or perhaps you enjoy hearing yourself talk?" The villain spoke in a deep French accent. The smoke cleared as he spoke and it revealed an old friend to them.

The Titans gasped at who they saw. "Mallah," Robin stated threateningly. Mallah smiled evilly at the Titans seeing their reactions. "Why are you here?" Robin yelled to him, infuriated that he would show his face after their last encounter.

"You would not have come had I asked," Mallah said in amusement. The Titans were growing angry and impatient with his antics and wanted to know why he would come all this way if he wanted to get their attention.

"Well you wanted us, so here we are. Now we don't have to look for you guys anymore," Cyborg stated angrily.

"Yes, now we may avenge our friend for what you have done to him," Starfire said as her eyes and hands began to glow green. Mallah roared in defiance and took the laser weapon latched to his belt and fired at the titans.

"Titan's move," Robin yelled and all of them dodged the barrage of laser fire. Robin was the first to counter Mallah's attack. He ran towards him dodging all of the blasts being fired in his direction. He took out his new bo-staff and used it to help him avoid the laser fire. Robin got close enough to Mallah to do what he wanted. "Sword," Robin stated aloud and the bo-staff shifted into a sword and he used it to try and cut his weapon, but Mallah foresaw this and evaded Robin's attack. He then continued to fire in Robin's direction, so Robin had to retreat and regroup.

Cyborg then came in and used his sonic cannon to try and blast Mallah away. Mallah merely fired a barrage at Cyborg and they managed to hit him. Cyborg had to retract his cannon in order to protect himself. Thinking as fast as he could, he took out his sonic cannon once more and fired at Mallah's feet to try and make him lose his footing. It managed to work and Mallah had to step backwards in order to not fall. This gave Starfire the time she needed to attack him from above.

"Aaah," she yelled as she threw starbolt after starbolt to Mallah. A few made contact but it seemed to do very little to him. Mallah took his cannon and fired once again but this time towards Starfire. Starfire ceased her firing and tried to block the onslaught of laser fire. Many had missed her, but eventually a few had hit her and she went down.

"Starfire!" Robin yelled. He ran towards her and managed to catch her before she hit the pavement. She soon opened her eyes and looked at Robin.

Raven had had enough of him. Using her powers she appeared behind him to catch him off guard. "Azarath Mentrion Zinthosis," Raven yelled as she used her powers on Mallah's weapon. The laser cannon were enveloped by her dark powers as it turned black. It soon was torn apart right down to the last screw so he could not use it again. She then enveloped Mallah and threw him hard against a wall. The power surrounding Mallah began to grow tighter as Raven slowly squeezed her hand as if taking holding his life in her hands. "I should squeeze the life out of you for what you have done to Beast Boy," Raven said angrily.

Starfire was about to run to Raven to try and calm her down but Robin stopped by stepping in front of her. Raven squeezed her hand a bit more and gritted her teeth in pure anger as the field holding Mallah grew smaller. Soon though she opened her hand and the field returned to normal and said, "But then I would be no better than you, and I know he would not approve if I did," Raven said solemnly.

Robin walked up to her and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. "You ok?" he asked concernedly. Raven nodded and waited for the police to show up so they could take him away. Robin then walked up to Mallah and grabbed by the fur on his collar hoping to intimidate him. "Now tell me, why did you attack our city?" Mallah merely laughed at the boy and Robin grew frustrated at him. "What's so funny?" he asked angrily.

A few more chuckles escaped him before he continued to speak. "Tell me child, do you wish to see your friend again?" he asked sadistically. Everyone was startled by this and looked at him.

"What are you talking about? What friend?" Robin asked threateningly. He was going to make him talk no matter what.

Mallah had a smile on his lips and he then continued. "The green one." All the Titans instantly knew who he was talking about and number of thoughts went through each of their minds. Robin was about to continue interrogating him, but Raven beat him to the punch.

Using her powers she threw Mallah onto the other side of the street crashing into a wall. As he tried to get up, Raven once again grabbed him with her powers and threw him into another building, this one into a large glass window. Before he could even react Raven tossed him once more back to where the Titans were. This time Mallah got to his feet before Raven could get to him albeit for not. Raven wrapped her dark powers around him and pushed him against the wall behind him. She marched angrily and quickly to him and got in his face and yelled, "Where is he?" she was blinded by rage and did not care who saw how she was reacting. Her eyes were a blinding white that were not seen until she had that fight with Cyborg.

The other Titans just stood there they knew better than to mess with Raven when she was hurting or angry. They had seen her like this once before, when Slade was working for her father. She was so angry that she forgot about them being there and let loose all her fury on him. And now she was doing it again.

Mallah just continued to smile at her not giving her any leverage. She soon couldn't take that smile of his and got a broken piece of wall and hurled it at him with her powers. After he was hit with the piece of wall, his face was slightly bruised and his lip was split, but he continued to smile. Raven was about to throw another piece at him but turned around to see the terrified faces of her teammates. She had done it again; she had gotten so angry that they were terrified of her. She then turned back to Mallah and said, "Tell me where he is," her voice still full of anger.

"Perhaps we could help one another. I will lead you to your little green friend, in return you will let me go," Mallah explained to the Titans.

"No way," Robin replied almost immediately. "If we want to find Beast Boy then Raven can just read your mind and give us his location," Robin finished as he did not trust Mallah.

"Good idea Robin," Raven stated as she focused her energy onto probing his thoughts. "Azarath Mentrion Zin-" but she was interrupted

"I would not do that if I were you. You probably would not like what you would find if you did. I have not said that your friend is alive have I?" Mallah stated before Raven had a chance to finish.

Raven's eyes returned to their normal amethyst color but the power that she had on Mallah to restrain him still remained. She turned to Robin with pleading eyes basically asking 'what do we do now?' Robin thought about their situation for a moment if there was a chance to bring Beast Boy back was it worth it. They don't even know if he is alive or not. But it did not matter because it was worth even if he wasn't alive this way they could give him a proper burial. But he really hoped that Beast Boy was alive. "Alright it's a deal," Robin stated. "But Raven will keep you tied up until we have Beast Boy back understand?"

"Fair enough," Mallah agreed. "Shall we get underway?" he asked the Titans.

"Yes, let us make with the haste and find Beast Boy," Starfire stated loudly.

"Yea man, I want to be able to see my little buddy again," Cyborg exclaimed to the others.

"Raven will you be able to hold Mallah until we reach wherever it is we're going," Robin asked.

"Yea, it's not a problem," Raven replied.

"Alright then team, let's go," he stated in his leader tone.

Mallah then began to lead the Titans to where they were keeping their friend, but the entire time a smile was on his lips. He would lead the Titans to their friend but what they did not know was that the Brotherhood had heard every word they had spoke during this transition.

Two figures were watching on a large screen the battle and conversation that took place between the Titans and Mallah. "All went as you said it would," the Brain said to the man beside him.

"Of course it did, the Titans are far too predictable," the figure said. "Now we may soon begin phase 1 of our plan. All we need is that item, and then we can start phase 2."

"Yes and soon the world shall be ours," the Brain spoke in his dark robotic voice. A groan was heard behind them as they turned to the shadow of the room. The figure smiled underneath his mask as he looked to his prisoner.

"You're right it soon shall be," the figure spoke evilly. He laughed darkly as it echoed throughout the room.
