Lately I've been, I've losing sleep! No, seriously, I have. I've been spending every night on fanfiction. Mostly on this. I have to say while it is not my most successful story (that title goes to my Blue Exorcist story), it has definitely been the one I enjoy writing most! In fact, I already have a sequel planned out! You guys can expect it soon after I'm done with this story! So without further ado, I give you the next chapter of Titans Tag Tournament!
Beast Boy was busy in his room, celebrating. He was currently dancing to "Counting Stars" By OneRepublic. He quietly sang along with the lyrics as he danced. Then his ears picked up a small sound. Turning the music off, he turned his attention to the door. His ears perked up once again as he heard the distant sound of...crying? Beast Boy tilted his head in confusion as the crying grew closer. Beast Boy then sniffed the air as he picked up a faint scent. His eyes widened. 'Kole." He thought, quickly growing worried.
Opening his door, he stepped out into the halls. And right then he saw Kole running towards him, her head down. She collided with Beast Boy, causing them to fall on the ground. Beast Boy rubbed his head as he looked at his friend with concern. "Kole, what's wrong?" He asked, helping the girl up. The two stood up, and Kole wiped her eyes with her sleeve.
"Jericho and Herald left the titans." She whispered. Beast Boy's eyes widened in shock.
"What?" He asked. He led Kole inside his room. He sat her down on his bed. He sat next to her, and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Tell me what happened." He told her. Kole began to cry again as she wrapped her arms around Beast Boy, burying her face into his shoulder. Beast Boy hugged her, rubbing his hand up and down in a soothing manner.
"They left because," Kole sobbed, hugging Beast Boy tighter. "They left because Robin told them they would be kicked out if they didn't beat us." She sobbed louder, her breathing becoming shallow. "It's my fault!" She cried out. "If I hadn't kicked Jericho out of the ring, they would still be here!"
Beast Boy pulled away from Kole, gripping her shoulders tightly. "It's not your fault, Kole." He said, looking her in the eyes. "It's Robin's fault. He made them leave." He stood up. "And I'm gonna have a little 'talk' with him." He turned to leave, but then he felt Kole grab his hand, keeping him in place. Beast Boy turned around,and stared sadly at the sniffling girl. Kole looked up at him, wiping more tears from her eyes.
"Do you think you can stay here, just for a little bit?" She asked quietly, quickly looking down. Beast Boy stared at the girl for a second, before his eyes softened. He nodded, and sat next to Kole, wrapping his arms around her in a protective embrace. He softly rubbed her back, murmuring words of comfort in her ear. Kole's crying soon got softer, and she hugged him back tightly, almost as if she were afraid to let him go. The two sat there for what seemed like forever, though it was probably only a few minutes.
Kole's sobbing eventually died down completely, and a light snore was heard. Beast Boy smiled softly as he placed Kole gently down on the bed. He lay the covers over her, watching as she instantly curled up against them. Beast Boy leaned down, and placed a small kiss on her forehead. He began to walk out of the door, but stopped, turning back to Kole. He smiled at her peaceful form, and turned off the lights. He closed the door, and stepped out into the hallway. Beast Boy's face immediately hardened, and he stomped towards Robin's office. As he approached the room he began to think. Why did Robin kick Jericho and Herald out? What were his motives? Beast Boy stopped in front of Robin's office. Growling, he entered the room, not even bothering to knock.
Robin turned around, and scowled as he saw Beast Boy. "What makes you think you can just barge in here whenever you want, Beast Boy?" He hissed.
"What the hell is up with you, Robin?!" Beast Boy yelled. "Why did you kick Jericho and Herald out?" He narrowed his eyes. "Kole was crying her eyes out just now!"
Robin scoffed. "Like I care about Crystal girl's feelings." He growled. "I did it because staying champion is all that matters." He paused. "And I have to make sure I remain champion."
"By eliminating the competition without having to fight them yourself?" Beast Boy asked, shocked by the dishonorable man his leader has become. "What about your friends, Robin? Are you willing to throw them away too, just so you can win." He clenched his fists. "Goddamn it, what about Starfire?"
"Starfire isn't important," Robin said. "Like I said before, winning is all that matters. She's just a pawn in my little game of chess." Beast Boy stared blankly at Robin, horrified by what he was saying. Then his eyes spotted objects on the table behind Robin. He walked past Robin, shoving him away. He picked up the file. He read it. It said "Bushido." Opening it, Beast Boy scanned over the pages, eyes widening as he realized they were filled with Bushido's weaknesses. He dropped it, and picked up another. This one read "Angel." Flipping through it, Beast Boy saw that this one was also filled with a list of weaknesses. He dropped it, and turned to face Robin, his blood boiling.
"You were cheating this entire time," he hissed. "All this time, you've had all our weaknesses right at your finger tips! No wonder you always won!"
Robin stared down at his teammate. "I wasn't cheating," he said. "There is no rule against taking precautions."
Beast Boy picked up one of the files. He waved it in Robin's face. "Having all this information and not sharing it with us to make it a fair fight, that's fucking cheating!" He screamed. "Wait til I tell everyone that you've been keeping us in the dark. Your ass will be out of here quicker than one of you cheap Batman ripoff toys!" He turned to leave, but was stopped by Robin's voice.
"Go ahead and tell them, Beast Boy," he cackled. "But prepare to join Jericho and Herald if you do." Beast Boy stopped, and clenched his fists.
'Damn it!' He mentally screamed. 'I can't afford to lose my membership as a titan. It's the one place where I belong.' Taking a deep breath, Beast Boy turned around, and faced Robin. "You know, at first I just wanted to win so I could gain respect." He growled. He pointed a clawed finger at Robin. "But now I'm gonna win to prove to everyone what a phony you really are!"
Robin scoffed. "Alright, lets make a wager," he offered. "If you win the tournament then I'll resign from my position as leader and I'll never compete in a tournament again. And Jericho and Herald will be able to return to the titans." He leaned in close, sneering. "But if you lose, then you and Kole will have to leave the titans forever." He grinned. "And I know how to turn you into a wanted criminal, too." Beast Boy scowled, but thought for a moment. He finally sighed.
'I'll have to risk it.' He thought. He glared daggers at Robin as he shook his hand. "Deal." He growled. Then without another word, he turned around and left. When he reached the common room Beast Boy stopped. 'I'll have to train.' He thought. 'Hard.' Beast Boy looked down, clenching his fists and teeth. 'What have I done? How am I gonna tell Kole about this one?'
Fuck you Robin. Just fuck you. So what did you think? Seems like Beast Boy just made a deal with the devil, right here. Don't forget to review! And remember, stay wykkyd!
