So I don't think I'll be able update any stories in the next few days, so this is probably gonna be the last chapter I write for awhile. This is so far my second favorite story I'm writing, next to my Teen Titans story "Titans Tag Tournament." I'd appreciate it if you would check it out. It's my pride and joy. Anyway, on with the story!

Logan let out a growl as he charged at one of the bigger goblins. It swung its bow at him, but he jumped into the air, slashing his sword deep into its neck. He landed, and the goblin exploded behind him. He smirked, and swung his sword at goblin leaping at him from behind. Logan killed it, and glanced to his side, seeing how his friends were doing. Leonardo had swiped his longsword at a small goblin, killing it. Then he bravely charged at a large one. Alexander swung his mighty axe at a small pack of goblins, his weapon slicing deep into the bodies. He let out a battle cry, and lunged at the largest of the goblins.

Kage was weaving through the goblins, slashing at their necks. Po leapt off his master's shoulder, and landed on a goblin's face. He breathed fire onto its face, before flying back to Kage, who had just dispatched another. Colette beat another goblin over the head with her mace, and it exploded. But then she was hit in the shoulder by an arrow, and she fell to the ground, crying out in pain. Alexander and Kage both turned around, eyes widening. "Colette!" They shouted at the same time. Both lunged for her, but Alexander reached her faster. He shielded her from the goblins, and swung his axe, killing them.

Colette opened her eyes, and glanced up. She gasped when she saw the man standing before her. Alexander leaned down, and opened his menu, getting her a healing crystal. He handed it to her, and she took it from him, their fingers brushing. Colette's cheeks turned a slight pink, but she shook her head, and healed herself. Alexander smiled, but suddenly he was pushed out of the way by Kage. He grabbed Colette's shoulders, eyes wide.

"Colette, are you OK?" He asked worriedly. Colette nodded softly, the thought of Alexander's fingers against hers still in her mind. Alexander then grabbed Kage by the cloak, and turned him around, making him look into the ginger's eyes.

"She is, no thanks to you!" He growled. Kage shoved Alexander's hand away, and scoffed.

"I was gonna help her," he said, defending himself. "You just happened to reach her faster!" The two glared at each other. But then they were brought back to reality by Leonardo's voice.

"How come me and Logan are the only ones fighting these things?" He yelled. Logan swung his sword, killing a goblin. He turned around, and thrust his sword at at another, piercing its chest. He sighed, and turned towards the group.

"All dead." He stated. Everyone nodded. Leonardo sighed, and sat down, leaning against his sword. Colette sat against a tree, while her brother walked off, mumbling things to himself. Alexander stared after him, scowling. Logan sighed, and began to pace around, thinking to himself. Then he stopped, and turned to the others. "Wait, wasn't today supposed to be an event?" He asked. Leonardo nodded, slightly confused. Logan continued. "And weren't goblins supposed to be part of it?" Everyone froze.

"Shit." Kage muttered. Then a rumbling was heard, and the tree Colette was moving on started to move. Startled, she leapt away, and everyone stared at the tree. Then the tree rose out of the ground, and to their shock, began to grow limbs. Logan backed away, and the others followed suit. The tree then began to growl, and a face appeared on the bark. It stood up, and glared down at the group. It roared at them, and Logan did his signature shriek. (You know, the one he does in the show.) The words "The Giant Druid" flashed above the monster's head. Everyone readied themselves for battle.

(Cue some action music from Kingdom Hearts!)

Logan reacted first. He charged at the druid, letting out a battle cry. The others followed his example, and charged. They began to hack at the druid's boy, but their weapons bounced off harmlessly. They stared blankly in shock, and they were all swatted away by its arm. Logan dodged, however, and swung his sword at its arm. It didn't do anything. The creature turned around, and roared in Logan's face. The titan gulped.

"This might be harder than I thought." He muttered. Thinking quickly, he changed into a wolf, and lunged at it. His jaws clamped around one of the creature's branches. It roared, and grabbed the wolf by its tail, and hurled it away. The wolf landed roughly on its back, and it shifted back into Logan. Logan hissed in pain, and dodged the druid's razor leaves. He landed on his feet, and glared at the event boss. Before they could do anything, Kage leapt into the fray. He sliced deeply into its shoulder, smirking. Then he glanced up, and tilted his head in confusion. It didn't take damage? What the hell? The druid turned to Kage, growling. Kage smiled nervously, but then Colette swung her mace at the boss. Soon everyone was lunging at the creature, calling out battle crys.

Logan backed away from the action, taking in careful notice. How could they attack this thing? His eyes widened as the druid tossed his friends away. Logan tensed as the creature turned to him. Then it jammed its fingers into the ground, causing all these sharp roots to burst from the ground. Logan swiftly dodged them all, and swung his sword at the druid. The druid blocked the attack, and threw a punch at our hero. Logan dodged it, and sliced his sword through its arm, severing it. It fell to the ground, and Logan smirked.

Then he glanced up, and his eyes widened. No damage? What the hell? The creature punched Logan, causing him to fly away. He landed roughly against a root, just in time for it to vanish into the ground. Logan tilted his head. Why were the roots staying there so long? He shook his head, and stood up. He dodged the druid's leaf attack, and swung his sword at its feet. The druid leaped into the air, however, and slammed himself down. The impact sent everyone flying back. Alexander recovered first, and charged at the druid. He swung his axe, and it sliced through the druid's tough skin. Yet it still did no damage!

Logan heard a rumble, and his eyes widened. He turned to the group. "Move!" He screamed. Everyone followed his command, just as the roots burst out of the ground again. Out of pure instinct, Logan swung his sword at the one closest to him. He heard the druid scream, and he glanced at its health. His eyes widened as he saw its health deplete. He grinned, and turned to the group. "Attack its roots!" He commanded.

Everyone nodded, and charged at the druid. Leonardo dodged its punch, and sliced deeply into its root. The thing shrieked as its health depleted.

(Cue the Sword Art Online main theme!)

Logan and the others bravely charged, swinging wildly at its roots. Its health kept on depleting more and more, until finally it was almost dead. Colette swung her mace at its root, then Alexander did the same. Finally Logan let out a growl, and stabbed the last root as hard as he could. The druid shuddered, before exploding into pixelated crystal. The word "Congratulations!" flashed above the spot it once stood. Everyone sighed in relief. The group looked at one another, smiling. Logan laughed, but stopped when he noticed something flash in front of him.

"New skill unlocked: Duel Wielding."

Logan tilted his head in confusion, but shrugged. He'll worry about it later. Right now he wanted to get his damn money.

...

After they reached town, Colette paid them what she owed. She thanked them, and smiled. She tilted her head. "I have a question, guys," She said. The Doom Patrol tilted their heads. Alexander nodded, and allowed her to continue. Colette played with a strand of hair nervously, looking down. Then she took a deep breath. "Can you guys let Kage join your guild?"

"What?" All the males asked in unison. Kage then shook his head.

"I don't think that's a good idea, Colette." Kage muttered, glancing at Alexander. Colette shook her head.

"I think that Kage will be better off with you guys," she told them. "He's always been a bit antisocial, and I think it will be really good for him to work in a team." She sucked air through her teeth. "Plus, you guys do seem like you need more members." Kage sighed.

"But who will take care of you?" He asked. Colette smiled softly.

"I can take care of myself," she said gently. "Besides, I already got an invitation to an all girls guild." Logan look at the two brothers, and they all formed a group huddle. They began to whisper among themselves, and Kage stood next to them awkwardly. Finally, they broke apart. Logan turned to Kage. He stuck out his hand.

"Welcome to the Doom Patrol," he said. "That is, if you want to join." Kage stared at the hand blankly, then glanced at Colette. She smiled softly at him. Kage sighed, then smirked at Logan. He shook his hand.

"Where do I sign up?"

Sorry for the shortness. The power has been going out at random lately, so I'm a bit paranoid. Is anyone catching the Alexander/Colette hints yet? ;)

Don't forget to review! And remember, stay wykkyd!

I hate how short my stories come out... :(
