Ooh Eeh Ooh ah ah ting tang walla walla bing bang! Ahem, sorry about that, just have "Witch Doctor" stuck in my head. Anyway, TheFoolOnMelancholyHill asked me a question that I'm gonna answer. I was seriously considering having the titans figuring out about Robin's little "cheat sheet" and all that. But the more I thought about it, the less the idea appealed to me. Because c'mon, Robin is the main antagonist. It only makes sense that he'll be the final opponent. And if I have the titans figure Robin out too quickly, then where the hell will I go from there? But don't worry, my friend. Robin will get what's coming to him, one way or another.
Jericho bit into his burger, staring at his Herald, who sat across from him. Herald stared back, both still dealing with their departure. Jericho sighed, and put his food down. "Do you really think Kole and Beast Boy can win?" He signed. Herald nodded. He took a sip of his soda before speaking.
"I'm sure they can," he said, smiling. "Their fighting skills are amazing, and they didn't even use any combos." He bit into his burger. He swallowed. "They have the skills, the heart, and the charisma. Trust me, Jericho, it's better this way." Jericho sighed.
"Do you think Kole is doing okay?" He asked. "I mean, she looked quite sad when we left." Herald cast his eyes down, but they quickly rose again, brimming with confidence.
"Kole's tougher than she looks," he joked. "But seriously, it might take awhile, but she'll get over it." He leaned, and continued drinking his soda. "Besides, just because we ain't titans anymore doesn't mean that can't still hang out with her." Jericho smiled. He nodded.
"You're right! That makes things less saddening." Herald grinned cockily.
"I'm always right, little buddy." The two stood up, and dumped their fast food into the trash. They walked out, only to see Control Freak wreaking havoc. Herald turned to his friend. "And just because we ain't titans anymore doesn't mean we can't be heroes anymore." He hinted, winking. Jericho nodded, smirking. The two ran to Control Freak, who stopped his mayhem to observe the heroes.
"So, two wannabe titan members dare to face the wrath of Control Freak!" The fat man cackled. Jericho and Herald got into battle positions.
"We're not titans, fatass," Herald countered. "We're freelance!" The two heroes lunged. Herald jumped up, and delivered a harsh kick to Control Freak's face. The couch potato fell to his butt, only to be possessed by Jericho. Control Freak felt himself stand up. Then he punched himself in the face. He grunted in pain as he tried to stop his rogue arm, but he was punched in the gut by Herald. Jericho stepped out of Control Freak, and let Herald open a portal leading to prison. He shoved Control Freak into it, and the portal closed. He turned to Jericho, and gave his friend a high five.\
The two then turned around to see the original Titans staring at them. Beast Boy, Starfire, Raven, and Cyborg stared at the two in awe, surprised at how fast they beat Control Freak. Robin just scowled. "What are you two doing here?" He asked, growling. Herald shrugged.
"Just because we are not titans anymore, doesn't mean we can't still be heroes." Herald stated in a matter of fact manner. Starfire looked at Robin in confusion,
"Friend Robin, why are friend Jericho and friend Herald no longer titans?" She asked curiously. Robin glared at the two former titans. He crossed his arms around his chest.
"Herald and Jericho have recently quit the titans." Was all he said. Beast Boy opened his mouth to deny this, but was silenced by Robin's glare of promised ejection. Beast Boy glared back at Robin, clenching his fists. Herald chuckled darkly as he and Jericho walked away.
"You better watch yourself, Robin," he warned over his shoulder. "Because you never know when your little championship will be gone." After they got away from the titans, Jericho grabbed Herald's arm, turning him around.
"We had a perfect opportunity to tell the others about Robin," he signed. "Why didn't you take it?" Herald grinned wickedly at his friend.
"Because before I see Robin get kicked out of the titans, I want to see him get his little ass beat." He chuckled. Jericho stared blankly at his friend.
He sighed. "Do you really think Kole and Beast Boy can win?" He asked. Herald nodded his head slowly.
"I know they can."
...
After the titans returned to the tower, Beast Boy immediately went outside to train. He stopped by the obstacle course, and turned the difficulty to maximum. He made his way to the starting line, and tensed up, ready to spring. He heard the buzzer, and he ran right into the danger zone. Laser firing pillars appeared from the ground, and began to shoot their projectiles at Beast Boy. He dodged them, well most. One hit his shoulder, and Beast Boy hissed in pain. The obstacle course stopped, and Beast Boy sank to his knees. 'Damn it!' He thought. 'I have to try again!'
He tried it ten more times, each time failing it. Beast Boy fell to the ground as the laser hit his chest. He layed still, breathing heavily. He stood up, and went to go try it again. Then he felt a hand grab his arm softly. Turning around, he saw Kole staring at him with a worried look in her eyes.
"You are NOT going to try that again." She said in a stern tone. Beast Boy looked at her in surprise.
"How long have you've been watching me?" He asked.
"Long enough," she answered, letting go of his arm. "Why were you pushing yourself like that, anyway?" Beast Boy looked down.
"Promise me that you won't hate me." He murmured.
"I promise."
Beast Boy sighed. He looked Kole in the eyes. "I made a deal with Robin," he said. "If we won the tournament then he would resign from his position as leader, as well as never compete in a tournament again. He also said that Jericho and Herald would be able to come back." He looked down again. He felt Kole grab his hand, and he continued. "But he said that if we lost, then we will be kicked out of titans." He felt tears form in his eyes. "I'm sorry Kole," he apologized. "I'm sorry I had to put you through this."
Kole pulled Beast Boy into a warm embrace. "It's alright," she soothed. "I'm not mad."
Beast Boy stared at her in confusion. "You're not?" Kole giggled.
"Of course not, silly," she said. She led him back to the tower. "Come on, lets go watch some TV."
Beast Boy grinned. "I knew I made a good choice when I chose you as my partner." He murmured to himself. He continued to follow Kole into the tower, the grin never leaving his face.
So what did you think? Don't worry, we will see more Jericho and Herald as the story progresses. I'm not gonna get rid of them anytime soon. Don't forget to review! And remember, stay wykkyd! Sorry that it's short. But you know, it's a filler.
