Two chapters, one day, one destiny! Alright. Anyway, I noticed that Cheshire was acting kinda like a tsundere (look it up) to Beast Boy, and it made me realize that if I wanted to, I could've probably given Beast Boy a harem for this story. Oh well. I think it's better this way. Fun fact: it wasn't originally gonna be Kole for this story. At first, I was thinking Raven, but I decided the pairing is kinda overused. Then my second choice was Jinx, but then I thought, nah. Then the story might get a little perverted. (Check out JP-Rider's story Garfield's Roommates if you want to see what I mean.) And then I was actually considering Nya-Nya, but I already have a story with her in development.
But then I looked at my oneshot "Happy Birthday, Kole." And I thought to myself, 'You know what is something you hardly ever see? Beast Boy and Kole.' And then...Titans Tag Tournament was born! And you know what? I love it this way!
Hope you enjoyed the little backstory. Now sit back, relax, and prepare to see a whup ass fight!
Beast Boy took a deep breath, and looked up. He was standing in front of Robin's door, preparing to knock. He sighed. Why couldn't he do it? Was he afraid of something? Beast Boy shook his head. No, he had lost all fear of Robin a long time ago. Beast Boy bit his lip. He remembered a time when he admired Robin. A time where he truly thought the Boy Wonder was the greatest teenage hero of them all. What had made those times end? Beast Boy clenched his teeth. The beast incident. The changeling sighed. No turning back now. He raised his hand, and knocked on the door.
Everything was silent for a moment, but then Beast Boy's sensitive ears picked up movement on the other side. Beast Boy took a deep breath, and forced himself to stand tall. The door opened, and Robin stood there, scowling at his teammate. "What do you want, Beast Boy?" Boy Blunder growled. Beast Boy barely managed to restrain himself from slashing his claws against his leader's face.
"I want to talk to you about the fight, Robin," he said in a smooth, calm voice. Robin narrowed his eyes through his mask, and crossed his arms. He stood still for a moment, before sighing. He walked back into his office, motioning for Beast Boy to follow. He did. The two reached Robin's desk, and they sat down, staring at one another. Robin then waved his hand, signalling Beast Boy to speak. Beast Boy took a deep breath, and spoke.
"For one," he started. "I don't plan on going down easy." A pause. "But if I lose, I want you to give me your word that Kole can keep her membership as a titan. Do with me what you will, but let her stay." Robin chuckled, and shook his head.
"Alright, deal," he said. Then he glanced at Beast Boy. "You really love her, don't you?" Beast Boy nodded, and narrowed his eyes.
"I would say you would know what it's like," he growled. "But you claim Starfire is your little pawn, so I guess you don't know." Robin chuckled again. Then Beast Boy continued. "And two," he pulled out his Ipod. "Want a sneak peek of my new theme song?" Robin scowled.
"Get out, Beast Boy." He hissed.
...
Beast Boy was in the locker room, taking deep breaths, trying to calm himself down. 'OK Gar, you got this.' he told himself. Then he heard a chuckle behind him. He turned around, and saw Negative Man standing there. The mummy like man approached our hero, and placed a hand on his shoulder. "You've grown a lot since the Brotherhood of Evil, kid," he said. "And I couldn't be prouder." Beast Boy smiled, and looked down.
"Do you think I can win, Larry?" He asked. Negative Man grinned underneath his bandages.
"Of course you can, kid." He answered. He led the changeling towards the bench, and the two sat down. Negative Man put an arm around Beast Boy's shoulders. "Let me tell you something. When you first joined the Doom Patrol, I honestly thought you wouldn't make it." He paused, and sighed. "I mean, you were just a kid. I thought you were just going to get in the way. But then I watched you, Gar. I saw nothing but determination and courage in your eyes. I saw how you sought to prove that you wern't just a weak link. You were probably the strongest out of all of us, because you had something very special. You had courage, you had determination. You had love. You had strength." He smiled gently. "And you have the power to win this." He glanced up. "And I'm not the only one who knows this."
Beast Boy followed his uncle's gaze, and smiled when he saw Kole standing by the doorway. He stood up, and walked towards his girlfriend. He wrapped his arms around her waist. He leaned his head against hers. Kole smiled, and gently kissed his nose. "Your uncle is right, Garfield," she murmured. "You can win this fight." She gave him a tender kiss on the lips. "And I'll be cheering the loudest when you do." Beast Boy smiled, and hugged Kole.
"I love you, Kole," he whispered. Kole smiled.
"And I love you." Then the two kissed, gently experiencing each other's love. (OK, I think that is so far the cheesiest thing I've ever written.) Negative Man grinned as he saw his nephew with his love interest. 'Damn, they better make me a granduncle after this.' He thought.
The two parted when they heard the crowd cheering. Beast Boy smiled. "That's my cue." He said. He then walked towards the exit, and took a deep breath. He stopped at the exit, and waited for his music to play. All of a sudden "Time of Dying" by Three Days Grace started blasting through the speakers, and the changeling ran out into the open. He threw his hands into the air, embracing the crowd's excited cheers. He grinned, and pointed at Robin, who was waiting, along with Starfire, at the arena. "Basi hii ndege kidogo kupotea!" He yelled. Then he ran towards the arena, and jumped on it, letting out a roar. The crowd went wild as he smirked at Robin, who scowled back. Starfire seemed confused by the hostility between her two friends, but she shrugged it off.
The music stopped, and the match began.
(Cue Sword Art Online main theme!)
Beadt Boy lunged at Robin, who pulled out two birdarangs. He leapt into the air, throwing them at the changeling. Beast Boy swiftly shifted into a snake, dodging the deadly objects. He then shifted into a gorilla, grabbing Robin's foot. He smashed him into the ground, but was then blasted away by Starfire's starbolts. He landed near the edge, and shifted into a bull. He charged at Robin, who jumped out of the way. Beast Boy then shifted into a bird, and flew towards Starfire, before changing into an orangutang. He smashed his arms into the alien, causing her to drop to the ground. Beast Boy changed back into a human, and charged at Robin.
Robin whipped out his staff, and the metal clashed against Beast Boy's claws. Beast Boy swiped his other hand at Robin's side, only for the Boy Wonder to nimbly dodge the attack. He then brought his staff down towards his opponent, only for Beast Boy to catch the staff. Beast Boy smirked at Robin, who gritted his teeth. Robin then lashed out with a kick, which brought the changeling to the ground. Robin then thrusted his staff into Beast Boy's chest, causing the yound titan to lose his breath. Robin grinned wickedly, and repeated the move.
Beast Boy clenched his jaws, trying to hold in the pain. He grabbed hold of Robin's weapon, and pushed it back. He stood up, only to be blasted by Starfire's eyebeams. Beast Boy landed on all fours, and dodged Robin's explosive disc. He shifted into a frog, and flung his tongue at it, catching the object right before it hit the ground. The frog then swung its tongue, and let go. The disc made contact with Starfire, and she fell to the ground once again. Beast Boy shifted into a human once again, and charged at Robin.
Cheshire watched the battle from afar. She felt her heart race as she saw the changeling make contact with Robin. "That's it, Garfield," she whispered. "Don't give him time to recover!"
Beast Boy lashed out with a scissor kick, which Robin dodged. Beast Boy then shifted into a turtle, and landed on his back. He quickly changed into a python, and lunged. Robin grabbed the snake by its throat, and slammed it down. Beast Boy shifted back into himself, and slashed his claws against Robin's face, causing the boy blunder to stagger back. Beast Boy smirked, and ran towards Robin. He jumped up, and landed on Robin's head. He catapulted himself up, latching himself onto Starfire. He wrestled with her, and shifted into a monkey. He began to crawl all over her, nipping and clawing. Starfire finally managed to grab hold of the monkey's tail, and tossed him away. Beast Boy shifted into a bird, and flew towards the sky, dodging starbolts the entire time. The bird smirked to itself, and pooped. The white feces landed ont Robin's head, who was now beyond pissed.
Beast Boy landed behind Robin, and slashed with his claws. Robin ducked, however, and delivered a brutal punch to Beast Boy's gut. Beast Boy gasped, and was kicked away by Robin. He landed on the edge of the ring, clutching his body. He opened his eyes, and saw Robin lunging at him. Thinking quickly, the young changeling shifted into a fly, and buzzed away.
Beast Boy landed near the middle of the arena, and glanced up to see Starfire flying towards him. Beast Boy smirked, and springed away, lashing out with dance-like kicks, They made contact with Starfire, and she grunted as she fell to the ground. Beast Boy then shifted into a gorilla, and picked up the alien princess. He tossed her out of the ring, and she landed roughly on the grassy area.
Beast Boy smirked, and turned around, only to be smacked in the face by by Robin's staff. He fell to the ground, but hand sprang himself back into action. The changeling whirled around, and slashed at the staff with his claws. Robin's eyes widened when his staff actually broke. "No," he murmured. But then he was kicked in the chest by Beast Boy. He flew towards the edge, but landed upright. Robin growled, and held the two halves in each hand. He then let out a battle cry as he lunged at Beast Boy. He then smacked the green hero in the face. Again. Again. AGAIN! Robin grinned wildly as he continued his relentless assult. Beast Boy felt his nose break, and blood gushed out. He fell to the ground, and was smacked in the chest. He coughed up some blood, which made Robin chuckle darkly.
He continued to hit Beast Boy, who was starting to lose consciousness. Kole noticed this, and tears formed in her eyes. She began to run through the crowd, crying. She finally reached the edge of the audience, and yelled out," Garfield!" Beast Boy weakly turned his gaze to his love, but was smacked in the chest by Robin. Kole continued to cry. "You can do this, Garfield!" She yelled. "Don't give up! Please, I love you! Don't give up!"
Don't give up.
Don't give up.
Don't give up.
Beast Boy's eyes burst open, and he instinctively grabbed Robin's arms. He struggled against the boy blunder's strength. He let out a roar, and he pushed Robin back. He then shifted into a tiger, and lunged. Robin dodged rolled out of the way, a bit frightened that Beast Boy managed to recover so fast. Beast Boy shifted back into human form, and charged. He slashed his claws at Robin, who was desperately trying to dodge them. One struck Robin's face, and he yelped in pain.
Beast Boy ducked down low, and punched Robin in the gut. Robin staggered back, and was kicked in the face by the changeling. Robin dodged the next attack, and threw a birdarang at Beast Boy. It cut deeply into Beast Boy's cheek, but it didn't matter. Beast Boy was in control now. He roared, and charged. Robin's eyes widened, and he barely dodged his opponent's brutal claws. He swung one of his baton like weapons at the changeling, who simply grabbed hold of it. Robin gasped as the changeling broke it in half. He then did the same to the other one.
Robin was then punched in the face by Beast Boy and landed near the edge. He slowly stood up, and turned around. Beast Boy lunged with a kick, screaming, "HADOUKEN!" The kick then made contact with Robin, sending him flying out of the ring.
Robin landed on the ground roughly, and gritted his teeth. He lost?! How?! He stood up, but was quickly run over by the crowd, and titans, as they ran to go celebrate the new champion.
Beast Boy hopped off of the ring, only to be tackled by Kole, who was crying in joy. "You did it!" She exclaimed. "You won!" Beast Boy's eyes widened as he realized the awesome truth. He won! He stood up, and spun Kole around, laughing. The two then kissed passionately, smiling like idiots. Two idiots in love, that is. All of a sudden, Beast Boy felt a large hand pat his back.
"Way to go, BB!" Cyborg congratulated. "You did the impossible!" The other titans quickly surrounded the changeling, each taking turns congratulating him. Beast Boy smiled. But then he heard a voice behind him.
"It seems like my tips paid off." Beast Boy turned around, and wrapped Cheshire into a tight hug. Cheshire's eyes widened, but then softened. She hugged the titan back, smiling. "Good job, Garfield." She murmured. "Good job." Beast Boy then pulled away, and turned to kiss Kole once again. The two continued to kiss as everyone made "awww" noises.
"I love you." Beast Boy said.
"I love you too." Kole responded. The two began to kiss, but were inturpted by angry yelling. They turned to see Robin snarling at them.
"This isn't how it's supposed to be!" He screamed. He jabbed a thumb at himself. "I'm supposed to win! Me! It's all about me!" He let out a roar, and threw a birdarang, aiming it at the couple. The two heroes' eyes widened, but then a hand reached out, and caught the birdarang. Everyone turned their heads to see who caught it. Everyone gasped as Slade dropped the birdarang. Robin's eyes widened as Slade slowly approached him. "Slade!" He cried out.
"The name is Deathstroke." The villain growled. Robin began to sweat.
"Somebody stop him!" He screamed. "He's a villain! Stop him!" Everyone look at one another, and parted, allowing Deathstroke to continue his approach. Robin pulled out a birdarang, but was punched in the face by the mercenary. He fell to the ground, and was brutally beaten by Deathstroke. (By the guidlines of fanfiction, I'm not legally allowed to describe how it went down,) Deathstroke stood up after he was done, and unsheathed his sword.
"A little something to remember me by," he hissed. Then he stabbed the sword deep into Robin's shoulder, causing him to scream in pain. Deathstroke then pulled the sword out, and slung it over his shoulder. "That was for Joseph, you little shit!" Then he sheathed the sword, and approached the champions. He held their hands up proudly. "Ladies and gentlemen, I present the new Titans Tag Tournament champions!" Everyone burst into cheering. Beast Boy glanced at Kole, and grinned his toothy grin. Kole smiled gently back. Starfire, Raven, and Cyborg walked up to Beast Boy, smiling.
"Friend Beast Boy," Starfire said. "Because former friend Robin shall no longer be our leader, we were hoping that you would lead us." Beast Boy's eyes widened, and he began to stutter.
"Me?" He asked. "Are you sure?" Raven nodded.
"You deserve it, BB." She said, playfully punching his shoulder. Beast Boy grinned, and turned to the other titans, who were all smiling, agreeing with the decision. Beast Boy began to speak.
"As my first act as leader of the Teen Titans," he started. "I want to offer a membership." He motioned for Cyborg, who gave him a spare communicator that he always carried around. Beast Boy turned to Cheshire. "Cheshire," he said gently. "You once told me about how you've considered joining the titans. Now's your chance." He hand the communicator to her. "If you'll allow it, I welcome you to the Teen Titans." Cheshire stared blankly at it, and she glanced at him. Smiling, she hugged him.
"Thank you."She whispered. Beast Boy smiled, and hugged her back. Then he pulled away, and kissed Kole one more time.
It was a good day to be alive.
