So right now I'm writing this on my aunt's laptop, who is also a fanfiction writer. Anyway, I'm glad people are enjoying this so far, because I was honestly afraid it would suck. A lot. So now it is time to continue "the greatest Teen Titans crossover ever" quoted from a faithful reviewer. Anyway, hope you enjoy the chapter!

Kage was currently selecting a dagger to use for his mission. For some reason, the beanstalk known as Logan had suggested that they each go on separate missions to try to raise some extra money. And of course Alexander and Leonardo instantly agreed. Kage scoffed. Were they gay or something? Sighing, he threw on his now lavender cloak, having switched his clothing to the Doom Patrol's color scheme. He had recently accepted a mission that he heard while wandering through town. Apparently, some guy had his entire guild slaughtered by an orange guild known as Titan's hand. Kage scoffed again. 'Cute name,' he thought sarcastically. He shook his head. 'Then again, Doom Patrol doesn't exactly take a grammy either.'

Kage had finally selected his dagger, which was known as "Wolf fang dagger." Kage sheathed the blade at his waist, and walked out of his hotel room. After he had left the building, he opened his inventory, and selected an item. He held it in his hand, staring at it as if it had some sort of disease. He clenched his teeth. This crystal would apparently teleport the guild to prison. Kage didn't understand why the guy just didn't want him to kill the guild. Kage shook his head. He then tried to remember what people said about the guild. They were apparently led by some slut named Rosalina, and their main strategy was ambushing.

Kage growled, and shook his head. He'd have to be careful. If they really were as good at ambushing as everyone said, then he would need to level up his detection skill. He shrugged. Oh well. He was sure that he wouldn't really need it, anyway. He glanced at his familiar, who was loyally perched on his shoulder. After all, he had Po. Kage smiled softly as he playfully scratched the imp's chin. Po made a soft purring noise, which made Kage chuckle. Then he walked off, deciding to try his luck in the Forest of Wandering.

...

Kage was currently fighting off a handful of beetle like monsters. He growled, and slashed his dagger at one of the beasts. The beetle shuddered, before exploding. Kage then pointed at another, and Po flew off his master's shoulder. He fired a fireball at one of the beetles, killing it. Kage then pounced on another, leaving two deep slashes in its face. He kicked himself off, and landed gracefully as his enemy died. He then turned around, killing the last beetle. Po landed back on his master's shoulders, smoke coming out of his nose. Kage smirked. 'Too easy.' He thought. (No seriously, it only took one paragraph.)

Kage sighed, and he noticed that he had unlocked a new item. Curious, he opened it, and read the label. "Beetle mask, eh?" He muttered to himself. Shrugging, he equipped it, and almost instantly felt awesome. The mask was a black color, and it looked it it was made out of steel. It had narrow eye slits, and had to pincers sticking out from the end. It only covered his upperface, leaving his jaw exposed. He then looked at its description, and smirked. It had raised his defense by fifteen, and his offense by ten. Kage glanced at Po, who nodded his approval. The two then went deeper into the forest, ready for all threats that stood in their way.

It was only a few minutes later when Kage noticed a person's voice coming from a distance. Female, from the sound of it. He sighed, and shook his head. Then he heard the girl scream someone's name, as if their friend just got killed. He then heard the sound of whimpering, followed by low pitched growls. Kage sighed, just another player dealing with high level monsters. It was none of his business. Yet he kept on hearing the cries of panic, and he growled silently. 'Stay out of it,' he thought. 'Stay out of it, stay out of it.' Then he noticed Po giving him a look of disapproval. Then Kage felt his mind drift off to distant memories.

Flashback:

Ten year old Iwao narrowed his eyes at the two bullies. They had been making fun of the new girl nonstop, and it was really starting to piss him off! Growling, Iwao slammed his books down on his lunch table, and stood up. The kids at his table glanced at him, and followed his gaze to the bullies. Their eyes widened, surprised that the most quiet boy in their school was going to stand up to the top kids on campus. They watched as Iwao stomped over to the bullies.

One of the bullies grinned, and raised his fist, which made the poor girl beneath him flinch in fear. He brought his fist down, only for it to be caught by a firm, yet small hand. Confused, he turned his head, and saw the normally silent Iwao glaring daggers at him. "You shouldn't pick on her, Ryuunosuke," he hissed. "If you want a fight, all you have to do is ask me!" Then he threw a punch at the bully, sending him to the ground. Iwao then lunged at the second bully, but was yanked back by two strong arms. Looking up, he saw the principal glaring down at him.

...

Iwao stomped out of the office, grumbling things to himself. He was trying to help! And he got in trouble, while those stupid bullies got away scott free! He punched a wall, actually succeeding in putting a small hole in it. He growled softly, but then stopped when he felt someone tap his shoulder. Confused, he turned around, and saw the girl that he saved smiling at him. "I never got to thank you," she said quietly, glancing away. Iwao's eyes widened in surprise. She was talking to him? No one ever talked to him! He shook his head, and looked down, trying to hide his blush.

"It was nothing." He muttered. He heard the girl giggle, and he looked back up, and saw her beaming at him brightly. She extended her hand.

"My name is Aoi," she introduced. "What's yours?" Iwao nervously shook her hand.

"Iwao." He murmured softly. Aoi giggled again.

"Your a really nice guy, Iwao," she said. "And I hope we can be friends someday."

...

Kage sighed. 'Damn it,' he thought. He shook his head. 'This better not kill me.' He ran towards the scene, and stopped. Three drunken apes, high level. Kage then saw the girl they were attacking. She wore mostly yellow, and looked quite young, around thirteen. She had her light brown hair in pigtails, giving her a somewhat "cute" appearance. She seemed to be holding something in her arms, which she clutched tightly to her chest. She dodged one of the drunken ape's strike, and landed against a tree, dazed. She glanced up, and saw the primate raising its club.

Kage took this as his cue to enter. Releasing a battle cry, he lunged at the monsters. He sliced through the first one, killing it. He then sent Po at the one attacking the girl, while he dealt with the third. Soon the beasts were dead, and he sighed, and glanced at the girl, Po landing on his shoulder. The girl glanced up at him, and her eyes widened with fear when she saw his intimidating mask. Kage sighed, and removed it. The girl then glanced at Po, and her eyes widened.

"No way," she whispered, loud enough for Kage to hear. "I thought I was the only beast tamer." Kage tilted his head.

"Then were is your familiar?" He retorted. The girl's eyes got teary, and Kage immediately felt guilty. The girl opened her hands, revealing a blue feather. Kage sighed. Great. He managed to save possibly the only other beast tamer around, and couldn't save the familiar. fan-fucking-tastic. He kneeled down, staring at the feather. "What was its name?" He asked gently.

"Pina." The girl murmured. Kage tilted his head.

"Hold on," he said. "It's still here, see if it has an item name." The girl nodded, and opened the feather's menu. It simply read, "Pina's heart." The girl stared at it blankly, before bursting into tears. Kage sighed in a frustrated manner. "Listen, if it's an item, then you have a chance of reviving Pina." The girl immediately stopped crying, and glanced hopefully at Kage. Kage nodded. "There's a flower on floor 47 that can apparently revive familiars." The girl sighed, and looked back down at the feather.

"Alright, I'll try to level up," she told him. "And then someday, I can go get the flower and bring Pina back." Kage scoffed.

"Fun fact: it has a three day time limit." He stated. The girl began to cry again. Kage shook his head, and stood up. "Are you with a party?" He asked. The girl nodded. Kage bit his lip. "Alright, I'll take you back to them. What is the leader's name?" The girl seemed to get angry at the mention of her party.

"Rosalina," she hissed. "And don't bother taking me back. I don't want to work with them if it just means being treated like a joke again." Kage tilted his head. Rosalina, eh? Kage smirked. Maybe this could work out to his advantage. He placed a hand on the girl's shoulders. She glanced up at him. He forced a gentle smile on his face.

"Tell you what, girly," he said almost cheerfully. "I'll take you to the flower, so you can revive your familiar. All it will cost is just a little cash." The girl seemed hesitant, before she sighed. She stood up. She opened up her menu, and prepared the money transfer.

"I'm afraid it's not much," she muttered. "But it's all I can afford." Kage nodded, smiling. He then extended his hand.

"The name is Kage." He said. "Yours?"

"Silica," the girl answered, shaking his hand. Then she got a determined look in her eyes. She pumped her fist, a serious look crossed her face. "Let's do this."

Kage could've sworn that it was Aoi speaking instead.

And that concludes the chapter. This is the start of a little story arc sort of thing, so as you would expect, the next few chapters will focus on Kage and Silica. Now I'm sure you are all wondering, "When the fuck is Lisbeth gonna appear already?" Don't worry, I already have all of that planned out. All I have to get through is this arc and maybe one or two more chapters.

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