"Henshin," Leo slid the card into the buckle. "CHANGE SEIRYU!"

"Henshin," Kat slashed her card through the slit in the centre of her buckle. "CHANGE SUZAKU!"

The Titans were taken by surprise.

"Ikuzo, otouto-chan," Mimic commanded as she summoned her Suzaku Arrow.

Draco sighed sadly, "Hai, onee-chan." He drew his sword and apologized, "Gomenasai…"

The twin Knights charged at the Titans and Robin commanded, "Titans, GO!"

On top of a roof stood Shadow in his armor with three robed figures.

"This is gonna be fun!" Hikaru said excitedly. She was wearing her robe.

"Interesting…" Shadow said as he rubbed his chin.

"Aren't you going to stop this?" questioned Shima.

"When the time comes," Shadow said. "The Titans can handle themselves and the twins won't hurt them too badly…"

Episode 30: Ideals

This was a shocking turn of events as the Titans were forced to fight against three of the Advent Knights known as Draco, Pluto and Mimic. Now it would become a fair fight but who would win? And even so, was it truly worth it?

"Karmen-san," Draco began as he said to Karmen, "Stand back and find someplace safe to hide. We shall handle this."

Karmen nodded and ran but Robin dashed towards her in an attempt to capture her but was met with a wall of fire. He froze in his tracks and backed away. "You're letting her escape!" Robin yelled accusingly at Mimic.

"That's the idea, Tweety," Mimic answered tauntingly. She charged at him and did a forward kick but he grabbed her leg under his arm and then pushed her to the ground. She kicked him in the chest and sent him staggering back before flipping back to her feet. She cracked her neck to the side and grinned under her helmet. She gripped her weapon and grinned wider. "This is going to be so much fun…" Robin gripped his Bo-staff and charged at her. Both weapons made contact and sent sparks flying as their wielders swung them expertly. Mimic could've shot him if she wanted to but she would rather fight him like this. She wanted to see what the Teen Wonder really got.

Draco, begrudgingly, faced both Starfire and Raven. Starfire was not too thrilled with fighting Draco but Raven narrowed her eyes at him. She said, "I knew we shouldn't have trusted you!"

Draco sighed and asked, "Did you enjoy your lunch, yesterday?"

"Huh?" Raven responded, confused.

"The lunch I made for you yesterday, did you enjoy it?" he asked again.

Raven was too stunned by the completely outlandish question but Starfire answered happily, which was typical of her, "Oh, yes! It was quite delicious."

"Souka (I see)," he said before placing his sword back into its holster. "It almost pains me to do this. Honestly, I do not wish to fight you two."

"Then why did you stop us from arresting Blackfire?" Raven asked, still not lowering her guard.

"Okaasan said this; people fight often for what they believe in and what they perceive as right. However, more often than not, the right way is not always is," he quoted. He explained, "To you she is Blackfire, a villain and criminal, but to us she is Karmen Anders, our friend and a waitress at Café La Salle. Despite the crimes you have accused her of I do not see any evidence of such acts nor reason to suspect her. That is why I cannot allow you to arrest her without a valid cause. It would be too judgmental and unfair."

Raven's eyes narrowed and Starfire took Draco's words to thought.

"We're heroes," Raven said. "Our job is to fight villains and bring them to justice."

"Justice is blind, as is love," he quoted. "How can it be justice when she is innocent?"

"She isn't!"

"Isn't she?" Draco retorted. "I once heard that nobody is innocent. We have all done bad things, some much worse than others." Raven balked. "However, that does not mean they do not deserve a second chance at redemption."

"She doesn't deserve it!" Raven responded angrily.

"Doesn't she?" Draco said.

"Enough!" Raven chanted, "Azarath, Metrion, Zin-" she was cut off when the air was drained out of her lungs. "Can't…breathe…" she rasped out before falling unconscious.

"Raven!" Starfire shouted, horrified. She then glared at Draco with glowing green eyes.

"Your friend is alright. I merely suffocated her so that she would merely pass out unharmed," Draco assured her. "I prefer non-violent methods to subdue my opponents less they force me to do otherwise. Starfire-san, if you choose to fight me then I will retaliate to defend myself and Karmen. Rest assured that I do not wish to do so."

Starfire nodded knowingly, "It is true, but we all must fight for our beliefs." She charged up her starbolts. "My apologies, friend."

"Gomenasai…" he then sent a bolt of lightning at her which struck her quickly and knocked her unconscious.

"Starfire!" Robin shouted, seeing Starfire's (seemingly) lifeless body. He went to help her but energy arrows were shot at his feet to stop him.

"We're not done yet, Tweety Bird," Mimic cooed as she aimed at his back. "Turn around." Robin did. "You have to understand, Robin, that we don't want to be your enemies. However, you forced our hands when you attempted to assault Karmen and that really rubs me the wrong way." She then gripped her weapon tightly. "Now, FIGHT!" She swung down her bow and Robin blocked with his staff. The blades of her bow sliced Robin's staff completely in half before she gave him a swift punch in the face.

"GEMINI!"

To make it a fair fight, Pluto had activated his Gemini Zebra card and made a duplicate for himself. Now, it was two against two with his opponents being Cyborg and Beast Boy.

Beast Boy transformed into a tiger and pounced on Pluto 1 while Cyborg charged at Pluto 2, throwing a fist. Pluto 2 jumped over Cyborg's swing and then shot at him from above. Sparks flew off Cyborg's armor as the bullets rained down upon him. Cyborg blocked with his arms and then Pluto 2 ended up behind him before using his metal manipulating powers to throw Cyborg into the side of a building.

Beast Boy was now a gorilla and struck at Pluto 1 with his arms. Pluto 1 side stepped two fists coming down on him and activated a new card. "UPPER!" His fist began to charge up with energy as Beast Boy charged at him, now as a T-Rex. Beast Boy snapped at him with his powerful jaws but Pluto 1 ducked and then used the power of Upper Frog and uppercut Beast Boy. The power of the punch was incredible and not only did it send Beast Boy flying but it also forced him back to his human form. He fell back on the ground, unconscious with a bruise on his chin and swirls in his eyes. Cyborg also joined him, stiff as a statue because of Pluto's metal manipulating powers. Now, only Robin remained.

Robin and Mimic traded blows, having discarded their weapons. With his teammates taken out, it was all up to him, but maybe he was in over his head with 3 Advent Knights (4 if counting Pluto's clone) as his opponents.

"Don't worry about Pluto and my otouto-chan, Tweety," Mimic reminded. "They won't interfere." Robin swung his fist but Mimic caught it before she threw her own punch which he also caught. They were caught in a stalemate and grappled against each other.

"Why are you protecting Blackfire!?" Robin demanded.

"Weren't you listening, Tweety?" Mimic mocked as she tightened her grip and pushed him back. "She's our friend and a waitress at my café. She does good work and she hasn't done anything to make us suspect her otherwise. We protect our friends like you should be doing right now!" She jumped up and smashed the soles of her boots into his chest, sending him falling back and gasping for air.

Robin panted as Mimic walked over to him before kneeling down so they were at the same eye level. "Let us take care of Blackfire, or Karmen, or whatever her name is, kay, Tweety? You should just go home and lick your wounds." Robin, angered for being patronized by Mimic, swung his fist hard and caught her in the faceplate. Draco gasped but was held back by Pluto. "Heh, that almost hurt," Mimic chuckled. His face was drenched with sweat from his fight with Mimic. He was also panting hard. "You may have been trained by one of the world's most famous heroes, but you're still only human." She thought, 'I envy you for that, unfortunately…' She then gave him a swift chop in the back of the neck, which knocked him out.

Shadow and the Club Royals had been watching the battle. Hikaru pouted.

"That was so anticlimactic!" she complained.

"Yes, but Mimic and Draco proved to be quite resourceful," Shima said as he rubbed his chin, impressed by the twin Knights' level of skill. "They defeated their opponents with minimal force."

Shadow was looking at the unconscious form of Raven worriedly but knew that she would be alright. "Let's go," Shadow said as he and the Club Royals all vanished into a dark portal created by Shima. Daichi had to be dragged in because he had fallen asleep again.

"Now what?" Pluto asked as Mimic approached them.

"We should take them back to their Tower," Mimic said.

"But aren't you two supposed to be in school?"

"It's our lunch break, Pluto-san," Draco said. "We have 15 minutes left but we can take the Titans home and be back before the bell rings."

"In the meantime you can escort your girlfriend back to the café," Mimic smirked under her helmet.

"Karmen's not my girlfriend!" Pluto snapped at Mimic.

"I never said Karmen was your girlfriend, Tiger," Mimic's grin widened under her helmet. "You like her, don't you?" Pluto blushed, not knowing what to say. It was a lucky thing his helmet covered the redness on his cheeks.

"So, how are you two going to get the Titans back to their Tower?" Pluto asked as he made his way towards Karmen who was quite shaken by the fight.

"We'll figure something out," Mimic said confidently, "won't we, otouto-chan?" Mimic said to her twin brother.

"Hai, onee-chan," Draco nodded in agreement.

Pluto shrugged, "Well, have it your way. Let's go home, Karmen."

"O-okay…" Karmen spoke nervously.

As Pluto and Karmen left and Draco and Mimic worked out on how to take the Titans back to Titans Tower, they were being watched from the shadows of an alley. The person watching them had only one eye and wore a two-toned mask.

"Impressive," he said in a smooth velvety voice. "These two may prove useful to me in the future," he mused before he disappeared into the darkness.

The Royals' Realm…

Isaka watched as Takada, the Advent Knight of Byakko-Pluto, rode on his bike back towards the home of both the Leo, the Advent Knight of Seiryu-Draco, and Kat, the Advent Knight of Suzaku, Mimic. His lips curled into a cruel smirk. It had been a long time since he did battle with the White Tiger and he was also quite bored.

"Time for some fun," Isaka spoke as he vanished from the realm of the Royals to confront his opponent.

Karmen, who was riding behind Takada with her arms wrapped around his waist was asking herself questions, mentally.

Who were the Titans?

Who was that girl with red hair?

Why did she look so familiar?

Why did she call her sister?

And what had she done that invoked their anger?

Another question that played in the black haired girl's mind was; who Takada, Leo and Kat really were? How did they change into those suits of armor? Most importantly; why had they defended her?

Who was right? Who was wrong? These questions hurt her mind and Takada must've sensed it somehow.

They pulled over in front of the Café and Takada mounted off before helping Karmen off his bike.

"Something wrong, Karmen?" he asked.

"I'm fine, Takada, it's just that…" she began.

"You want answers, right?"

She nodded.

Takada sighed. "I can't give you all the answers but I will answer the ones I can. Where do you want to start?"

"How did you get those armors?" she asked.

Takada was about to tell her when his cell phone beeped. He grumbled, "What now?" He drew it out of his pocket and then stared at the screen. His eyes grew wide before he grabbed Karmen around the waist and hurled them both to the ground.

Karmen yelped but it soon turned to screams as the ground around them erupted into flames. Takada's eyes narrowed. The screen on his phone showed TWO red blips…Beast Spirit signals.

"So, you survived," spoke a menacing voice. "Good. Wouldn't be much fun if you died so easily." A black robed and hooded figure came into view amongst the screaming people. Takada knew him well.

"Takada, who's that?" Karmen asked as Pluto helped her up.

"A big pain in the ass," Takada responded.

"So, you remember me, huh?" the robed figure said before he morphed into his true form, the Peacock Beast Spirit, much to Karmen's shock. "That's nice. It would be sad if you had forgotten me."

Takada then insulted him, "How can I forgot such an ugly birdbrain like you?"

Isaka's eyes narrowed before, without warning, he summoned his feathers and sent them flying at Takada and Karmen. Karmen screamed but Takada calmly slid his card into his buckle as the belt generated a belt around his waist.

"Henshin," he said as the panel on his buckle flipped over. It fired a rectangular energy field, which acted like a shield, and blocked Isaka's attack before sweeping over Takada.

"CHANGE BYAKKO!"

Standing in Takada's place, clad in his white and black armor once again, was Advent Knight Pluto.

"Karmen," Pluto began. "Get inside."

Karmen nodded but then Isaka said, "Not so fast!" Suddenly, something flew past him fast and made a grab for Karmen. Pluto couldn't react fast enough as his attention had been on Isaka.

"What!?" Pluto yelled as he whirled around behind him and looked up into the air. Holding Karmen in its talons was a Beast Spirit that resembled a humanoid woodpecker. It flapped its wings as it remained in the air, tauntingly. Karmen screamed and struggled.

"Let me go! Let me go!" Karmen screamed out in panic.

"Karmen!" Pluto turned and snapped at Isaka, "Let her go!"

"Only if you can defeat me," Isaka said, summoning his sword, "Though, I doubt that will happen anytime soon."

Pluto growled and then remembered what was at stake. With the twins busy taking care of the unconscious Titans, it was up to him to fight this guy.

However, he didn't realize that he was being watched…by three robed figures and a fellow Advent Knight in black and green.

"This should prove interesting," Shadow commented as he watched.

"Shouldn't you be helping him?" Shima inquired.

"All in due time," Shadow said resting his staff on his shoulders. "All in due time…"

Isaka charged and slashed down with his sword only for Pluto to roll away and use his metal manipulation powers to hurl two cars at the Category Jack Beast Spirit. Isaka sliced the cars in half and flew at Pluto who blocked his sword with his gauntlet. He rammed his fist into the Jack of Diamonds who staggered back from the hit.

Pluto was unable to fully concentrate on the battle at hand as Karmen was in danger right now being held by the Woodpecker Beast Spirit. There was no telling what could happen next.

Isaka sent his feathers flying like arrows and they pierced Pluto's armor. Karmen screamed, horrified, "Takada!"

Pluto was on his knees as the feathers had caused sizable damage but he was still alive. "I'm fine…Karmen…"

Isaka rolled his neck, "I grow tired of this. Better finish you now." He sent fireballs and feathers flying at Pluto.

"I…don't…THINK SO!" Pluto roared as he slammed his palm on the ground and it rose up to create shield that blocked the attack, much to Isaka's surprise.

"I see you've mastered your powers," Isaka, the Peacock Beast Spirit and the Jack of Diamonds, commented in a complimentary manner. "This could mean that you're finally taking this battle seriously.

Pluto charged and then swung his leg in a kick aimed for Isaka's head. He blocked it with his sword but then a few bullets caught him in the face, sending him staggering back. Pluto swung and his gun smashed into the side of Isaka's face before he smashed his fist into his neck. The Beast Spirit was then sent falling by a powerful kick in the stomach.

Karmen cheered for Pluto despite her current situation.

Isaka picked himself back up and glared at Pluto.

"So, what do you think of me now?" Pluto asked, aiming his gun at Isaka.

"A nuisance," the Peacock Beast Spirit said before turning towards the Woodpecker Beast Spirit and speaking in their native tongue, "Drop the girl! We have no need for her now!"

Pluto did not know what Isaka had said but he knew what it had meant as he saw the Woodpecker Beast Spirit fly high into the sky and then letting go of Karmen, causing her to fall and scream.

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" Karmen screamed as she fell fast towards the ground.

"KARMEN!" Pluto shouted as he ran towards her but was then sent back by the swing of Isaka's blade.

"You may defeat me, but you won't be able to save her," Isaka spoke in triumph.

"Won't be necessary!" spoke a new voice. Suddenly, a plant with a large leaf erupted from the street and caught Karmen safely like a makeshift trampoline. Karmen bounced on the leaf for a bit before stopping.

"Huh?" Karmen spoke in confusion.

The Woodpecker Beast Spirit was slammed in the back and forced to the ground with a crash when a black blur dropped down. The blur was, in fact, Shadow…the Advent Knight of Genbu.

"Need help, Pluto?" Shadow asked.

"Thanks man, but I'll handle this peacock guy," Pluto said in appreciation and relief. Karmen was safe.

Isaka was absolutely livid now. How dare the Knight of Genbu ruin his fun? He then let out a cry of rage and started to charge at him but was then sent flying back when a purple blast of energy exploded after it impacted with his body, sending him crashing into a nearby wall.

Pluto and Shadow's attention turned to Karmen who was still sitting on the large leaf that had saved her life with her eyes…glowing? They were glowing a bright purple color and so was her left hand.

"Leave…him…alone," she growled before the glow of her eyes dimmed and she lost consciousness.

"Interesting…" Shadow spoke. Just as the Woodpecker Beast Spirit got up, Shadow twirled his staff and stabbed it in the stomach without turning around. He then pushed with his staff and then took it out before charging and smashing it back with a shoulder tackle.

The Peacock Beast Spirit reverted to human form, surprised by Karmen's energy attack. "Too many…variables," he said, struggling to get up. He then vanished.

"Hey, wait!" Pluto called but then his attention turned towards Shadow who was fighting the Woodpecker Beast Spirit."

"Would you mind finishing this one off, please?" Shadow asked before grabbed the Beast Spirit by its long beak and throwing it at Pluto. Pluto drew his cards and slashed them through.

"SCOPE! FIRE! BULLET!" the cards were absorbed into his gun before he took aim. He shot a fireball that hit the Beast Spirit dead centre in its chest before exploding and sending it crashing into a lamppost. Pluto then threw a blank card and sealed the Beast Spirit before it returned to his hand.

"Category 4 of Diamonds: Rapid Pecker," Pluto read the card. "Not bad." He then walked over to Shadow who was carrying Karmen, bridal style, after taking her off the large leaf he had made. "Thanks, Desmond." Shadow placed Karmen into Pluto's arms.

"I didn't help because I wanted to, Takada," She retorted. "I only assisted you because I was bored and needed the entertainment."

"Thanks anyway."

"Whatever," Shadow drew a card and slashed it through.

"SMOG!"

When the smog cloud vanished, Shadow had disappeared…again. Takada's armor had also disappeared as he carried Karmen back into Café La Salle. Of course, now HE was the one with questions…

How did she do that?

Robin's eyes began to open as he felt a pain in the back of his neck. He found himself back in his room in Titans Tower. Weird, how did he get back here?

He then, suddenly, sat up as he remembered what had happened. There was a bank robbery, then they saw Blackfire, and then…

They fought the Knights, and lost.

Robin clenched his fists, angry at the Knights for defending Blackfire. Why would they do that? What would they stand to gain? Then, he remembered what Kat had said…

"She's our friend."

He just couldn't wrap his mind around the idea. Blackfire has friends? Weird. In any case he now considered the Knights traitors since they fought against the Titans.

He then got off his bed and left his room.

Starfire's eyes fluttered open and then she gasped as she bolted up from her bed. She looked around frantically and then saw Silkie lying on her stomach. She smiled and rubbed her pet mutant caterpillar on the head in which it responded with a purr of some kind.

Her mind then asked, 'How did I get back here in my room?' and then she remembered the battle with Draco. Was he right? Did Blackfire really forget.? Then…were the Titans doing the right thing in trying to capture her? They had forgiven Terra but why not Blackfire?

She then left her room for some fresh air.

Raven suddenly jolted out of bed as her eyes snapped wide open. She breathed hard and inhaled as much air as she could and then looked around. She was back in her room. Had the fight been a dream?

'No, it wasn't,' she reasoned. She remembered seeing Blackfire and then the Knights defending her. She clutched her sheets. Leo's words still rang in her ears…

"Nobody is innocent…"

It was true that nobody was 100 percent innocent…but why were they willing to fight them and protect Blackfire? Raven wanted to be angry at the three Knight for fighting them and she even wanted to call them traitors for that…but…

Her mind was a jumble. So many different thoughts. Were the Titans right or the Knights right?

She then left her room. Maybe me herbal tea could calm her nerves.

Beast Boy screamed as he rolled off his bed and fell off the edge. His back pounded in pain as he sat up to find himself back in his room. One minute they had been fighting Pluto and now…

Beast Boy remembered how Pluto fought them to defend Blackfire. Didn't the White Tiger see how evil and dangerous Blackfire was? Apparently, he didn't. But then…

Beast Boy's head was pounding. He left his room for some cold soy milk.

Cyborg's red eye lit up as his human eye opened. He was lying on his recharging bed and thinking…about the fight with Pluto.

The Knights were their friends, right? So why did they fight them and defend Blackfire? It just didn't add up.

Pluto was a gunman, but protected the innocent and a good guy.

Draco was a swordsman with a strong sense of justice and thus a good guy too.

Finally, Mimic was an archer with a sense of honor and fought evil…so she was a good girl too.

Blackfire was evil, a criminal, and all around a bad girl.

So why protect a bad girl? It was the good guys that busted bad guys, right? Right?

He couldn't answer his own question, plus his tummy rumbled.

Time to eat!

He left his room.

When the 5 Titans entered the Common Room, they were met with a surprising sight; Leo was in the kitchen cooking while Kat sat at the dining table, reading a newspaper, like nothing happened.

Robin and Raven glared at the two Knights while the other three (Starfire, Beast Boy and Cyborg) looked confused. Kat put the paper down and smiled at them. "You're finally up, I see. Took you all long enough. It's already five and-"

Robin charged and then he was face to face with Kat, leaning over her in threatening manner and glaring. "Why did you defend Blackfire!?" he demanded. Kat waved a hand in front of her face.

"Woah, Tweety, brush your teeth, okay?" Kat said jokingly.

"Onee-chan," Leo said in a reprimanding tone, "Be nice."

"Hai, hai," Kat said and then said, "Ya-re, ya-re (my, my), you're a mad little bird aren't ya? Why?"

Robin clenched his fists. He wanted to punch her until Leo said, "If you wish to fight then wait until your opponent is ready. To attack when they are not is downright dishonorable."

"How can you talk about honor when you attacked us for doing our job?" Raven accused.

"Attack you?" Leo asked as he looked at her. "No, we didn't attack you. We merely defended ourselves. You attacked us when you attacked Karmen."

Raven growled.

Cyborg sniffed the air, "Dawg, what's cooking?"

"Something special for all of you," Leo said with a smile.

"Why don't you all take a seat so I can explain?" Kat offered, "And stop glaring at me. You want answers, I can give them, but if you want to fight then…" she let that trail off. Raven and Robin's glares didn't waver as they took their seats.

"Now, any questions?" Kat asked. Starfire raised her arm. "Yes, Starry?"

"Is it true that my sister has lost her memory?" Starfire asked.

Kat replied, "So, Karmen is your sister, is she?" Starfire nodded. "Souka…well, so far she hasn't shown any signs of knowing who she was. I was the one who named her Karmen Anders by the way when she said her name was…what was it again?" Kat scratched her head trying to remember.

"Komand'r," Leo reminded.

"Hai, arigatou," Kat nodded. "Komand'r. She said her name was Komand'r, but that was it."

"Then she is my sister for Komand'r is the translation of Blackfire in my native Tamaranean tongue."

"So that's why she looked so familiar," Kat said with a snap of her finger.

"How did you find her?" Beast Boy asked.

"We," she pointed to herself and gestured to her brother, "didn't. It was the Tiger. He just found her and took her home without even telling me. I think it was while we were busy looking for a cure for my otouto-chan and Tara when the Centipede Beast Spirit attacked."

"You had her for this long and didn't bother to tell us?" Robin asked, annoyed.

Kat shrugged. "Didn't think it was any of your business, Tweety. She became our responsibility."

"So that's why you were defending her?" Cyborg added.

"That, and because she is our friend, Cyborg-san," Leo answered as he served each of the Titans a plate of fried rice. It was vegetarian style. "Itadakimasu. Don't worry about us, we already ate."

Raven gazed at the food dubiously but Kat's words snapped her out of her thoughts, "Don't worry, it's not poisoned. My otouto-chan loves food far too much to contaminate it with poison. It would be a waste."

Raven took in the words and with the others dug in.

Robin, as he ate, asked, "So, how did the two of you get us back to the Tower?"

Leo was about to answer but his sister beat him to it, "That, my dear Tweety, is a secret." She winked in her oh so mysterious way. She then said, "I forgive you all for trying to apprehend 'Blackfire', but you have to understand one thing; you all fight in the name of the law, don't forget that you're not the law."

Leo was the one who finished, "Okaasan said this; to fight in the name of justice is an honorable thing, but do not forget to listen to the truth while pursuing it."

"Well said."

"Arigato."

The Titans took the words of twins into consideration until Starfire asked, "May we go see her?"

Kat shrugged. "Why not? But I think you should all wait. She's pretty shaken. Who wouldn't when they just got attacked for no reason? She needs time to adjust and recover."

When the Titans had finished their meal, Leo smiled. The looks on their faces told him that they had enjoyed it, despite its lack of meat for Cyborg's taste. Beast Boy appreciated the gesture.

"Now then…does anyone have anything to say?" Kat asked as her eyes dropped upon Robin.

"What?" he questioned.

"Someone owes someone an apology…"

"I'm not going to-" he was elbowed by Starfire. "Starfire?"

"Please, Robin, we were in the wrong," Starfire said.

"But, Star-"

"No, Robin. Friends Kat and Leo are right. We attacked without trying to find out the truth. I am sorry for that too."

Robin sighed. He swallowed his pride; he hated having to do that and muttered, "I'm sorry…"

"What was that?" Kat cupped her ear. "I didn't quite catch that."

"I'm sorry, okay?" Robin said clearly. "Happy?"

Kat smirked. "Sure." She turned to her brother. "Ikuzo, otouto-chan."

"Hai, onee-chan," Leo said with a nod.

The twins began to leave but then Kat said, "Oh, and we'll forget about the fact that we kicked all your butts, Titans. Ja ne."

The twins left the stupefied Titans in silence.

Desmond returned to his apartment where the three Club Royals, in human form, were waiting for him in the living room

"Welcome home, sir," Walter greeted.

"Thank you, Walter," Desmond nodded.

"How was your day, Desmond?" Shima asked as he was reading the newspaper while he sat in one of the arm chairs while Daichi slept on the couch, his entire length occupying it. Hikaru was doing her homework. She may be a Beast Spirit in disguise but even she needed the education to keep up to date plus school was fun for her since she had nothing to do the past 10,000 years, being sealed in a slab of rock.

Daichi was an incredibly muscular person. He had a shaved head and large muscular arms and chest. He was dressed in a tight black shirt and jacket with matching slacks. He looked like the type of guy to work as a bouncer.

Desmond answered with a yawn and said, "Troublesome…simply troublesome."

Back in the Royals' Realm, Isaka was absolutely enraged. "Next time, Knight of Byakko…you will die by my hands and I will take the Knight of Genbu with you…I swear!"

One of the Royals heard this and smirked.

"Well now…" the Royal spoke in a smooth and silky sounding voice, which was definitely female, if not a very good imitation of it. "It looks like darling Isaka is having a tantrum. Maybe I should help him, the poor dear." There was a hiss like a serpent coming out from under her hood.

A/N: The Titans got reprimanded by the twins and a new Beast Spirit is sealed. The mystery of Karmen becomes more mysterious ever since she revealed that she has powers. What will happen now? If you have any ideas, go to my forums.

Preview to the next chap: The twins have a new art teacher and SHE'S HOT! But, since she arrived a lot of the new statues are seen in the art room. Just who is she really? Could she be Medusa?

Card Sealed:

Category 4 of Diamonds Rapid Pecker.
