Ch 5 first tower
Beast boy walked for hours and started to get tired. his bruises are healing and he hadn't seen any of vaases men he's lucky that day, he sat under a tree and looked at the map luckily he was thought map reading from his mother. The closes tower was a day away then he realized one tower was close to vaases fortress he hopes he doesn't have to go there. The mental torture the sites of vaases men swearing, killing, drinking, and them doing stuff on outdated computer. All dark, scary and frightening. He got up and walk to the tower direction, along the way he stayed out of roads, and housing area, and other man made places safely making sure if the mad man not there.
strange plants plenty of tall blue flowers, trees with strange and familiar fruit, bushes with purple thorns, and animals too. Boars, pigs, wild dogs, tigers, bears and tapers, for him it's nice to see animals too. The sun was setting and beast boy walked faster. He wants to get home fast unsure if the island is it traceable or not he wish the collar around his neck is gone. Then beast boy can see a small cave, he look in to see if there's any dangerous animals ion there and there none. He looked around the cave he found a mango tree; he gathered a three ripe ones and carry them back to the small cave.
The inhibitor collar around his neck annoyed him maybe making his neck raw, and mostly he scared. Why didn't he kill mw now he know the reason.
Vaas is hunting.
Once Garfield entered the cave and Garfield pulled out the knife and peeling the mango, he ate it. the juice quenched his thirst and filled his stomach. he looked outside and he saw the dark shrouded over the island, the stars are like white dots. Beast boy missed his sister, friends and family and his home. once he finish the fruit he took of the belts and bag laying down using it as a pillow, even thou it early he need to save his energy, heal his bruises, he's not tired. Thought came to him, should he kill to survive, it obvious for animals, strongest to survived. He looked at the knife and sharpness, the carving and the handle.
"Where are you" he said to himself. He wish the stupid collar is off him so he can fly home. Soon he fall asleep in the almost cold island.
Morning
Garfield woke up and he saw the morning glow in the cave entrées he gathered his stuff and walked out of the cave he ate another mango and walked off to the tower, his bruises are healed, and his fully rested, after walked for a few minutes he saw the tower. close he saw men with guns unsure beast boy quiet walked behind them he stayed low he hide behind a jeep, then through a bush and near the stairs he heard a hiss. Garfield looked down and saw a large black snake with yellow spots.
"hay" then he turned back and the men ran to him, the one close to beast boy he kicked the snake it landed on the man he fall back while the snake is biting his face releasing his poison. around the second floor beast boy pulled out a dagger he throw it to the men and it hit one in the stomach, he fall back and two more gone passed, the changeling moved faster passing the obstacles quicker and once he near the control box he was about to open it one of the men grabbed him from behind and he the other punched him on the chest and head.
the pain increased faster and painful, he can almost taste the rusty blood, then everything can in motion for the changeling without his permission, he lift his legs and pushed the man on front of him and stubbed the man foot behind him and pulled out another dagger and stabbed him on the shoulder and fling it the man how punched him.
After a few seconds he realized and still surprised he killed 4 armed men.
He killed.
Took another person life.
How could i?
Then he walked to the dead man, pulled the dagger off and he walked to the control box and open it, change the frequency to a pubic wave and he pulled out the hand radio, matching the frequency too to the same. "Miss Martian, nightwing, superboy, anyone from the justice league?" he waited kneeled down for a response, only static. "Blue beetle, impulse, robin?" more waiting he only heard the static and he smell of the blood reached his nose steel like smell is revolting. "Please somebody...please answer... help me" he waited for another hour and the blood reached him soaking his cloths and skin, becoming bright red then brown. "ANYBODY NIGHTWING, IMPULES, BATGIRL, BEE, MAL PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE HELP ME...Megan please."
there was nothing he turned off the radio off and looked down small bits of blood in his sights and close his eyes, tears gathered and he cried. He killed 4 men. He cried harder more burned his eyes and they made his eyes red, how could he? Tears stain his green face to the floor.
Beast boy got up and walked down the stairs of the radio tower, he pulled the knife of the second man he killed once on the dirt ground he looked at the direction of the first man he killed there was snake bites are there and his face puffed up too.
The boy couldn't believe it he did this all the death one 13 year old kill them. The he walked away from the tower not sure where he going just away from the blood tower. He continues walking then he found a house looks isolated.
"Maybe I can ask the owner if I can stay for the night." said Garfield Logan, near the house he looked around everything looked overgrown like poison ivy covered the house. He saw the door slightly open he peek in and the was no one, he walked in and there's nobody nothing only a wood fire stove, sink, small table, chair, bathroom, bedroom in the a single bed with covers, nightstand and cloths.
"I think I'll stay here" he pleased the back and belts on the night stand he looked around and put firewood in the stove and lit it like nightwing showed him, once it lit up he sat near small table and think what to do next continue the tower to reach his friends or stay and help Citra fight off vaas. What to do. He drained the water in the canteen he can kill again. He looked at the maps for hours then the night came.
his first experience of killing left the boys mind in a fragile state the gone then he went to the bed under the covers, he tucked his legs close to him and cried himself to sleep I want to go home be with Megan where are you? in his dreams he dreamed about the event that happen, but more gruesome and it felt like he's happy on killing them he felt sick seeing another part of him killing for fun like some psychopath. After that his other self looked at him and he was holding the knife and he ran up the innocent boy.
then he woke up, he looked at the window as he heard gun fire, beast boy looked at himself and saw blood stains he have to clean that but he's tired and the bruises are starting to show, he lay down and look at the small pierce of sky in the window and hope his sister will find him.
Three days and m'gann is impotence.
"Miss M we got a problem" m'gann hear nightwing through her room she walked to the door and open it.
"What is it?"Nightwing looked at her serious "the flight crew with beast boy are actually pirates" no.
"Really" nightwing nodded, to the Martian her mind raveled to the thought of what they do to him. torment him, messing with his mind the options are unthinkable "nightwing do you know where they are from?"
"No sorry but I think I know where?"
"Really"
"Maybe one of the island around the main land some of them are restricted we need permission on some of them bats said he's going to do it" too m'gann it good for her to look instead of waiting.
"let's go" they brought impulse he might help find beast boy faster. the three walked in the bio-ship to search their friends.
