Chapter 3: Alliance

Raven and Robin stared at the three people in the middle of the street, not knowing how to make a safe move first, or even if making a move at all would be safe. The other three people across the way also stared at them, unmoving. They didn't know each other, and the girl a couple of minutes ago had been ready to actually kill the two beside her. Now she didn't know what to do, especially given her hands and arms were tightly cuffed up.

Raven finally glanced at Robin from the corner of her eye, wondering what he was thinking. They should have made a plan, perhaps. But they wouldn't have been prepared for this.

"Raven," Robin whispered, still not taking his eyes off the center of the road, "Do these powers of yours happen to come with a mind reading ability? To see if there's a threat or something? I don't want to attack unless necessary."

Before Raven could answer him a 'not exactly', the girl finally couldn't take the calm anymore and screamed at the top of her lungs, jumping high into the air and crashing back down on the road in front of Raven and Robin. The impact was so strong that the road cracked and big chunks of it flew everywhere. Raven swiftly put a shield up just in time to protect them from being hurt.

"I guess we know now," Raven told him as she put her force field down, "Maybe the other two are more-"

"Time to intervene! Let's go!" Robin yelled as he started to run towards the red-haired girl that had cuffs on. Raven sighed and then saw the two boys looking at Robin and materialized into the ground. She reappeared right in front of them.

"Who are you, and what are you doing here?" Raven asked simply as the two boys gasped at her sudden appearance.

"Any reason you want to know?" the shorter one snapped, trying to stand tall. He had green skin, green eyes, and green hair, and oversized, pointy ears. He wore a purple and black outfit on, complete with what Raven would attribute to be a dork half face mask.

"Yes," Raven started, "I'm a person that can inflict harsh pain on you if you don't tell me that information now. So information I'd hope to get." She snapped, not quite meaning too, and the look in her eye struck fear in the small boy's heart.

"I-I-I'm B-b-b-Beast Boy," The small boy told her. He put his hand to his forehead as if he was in the army. "Can I be of service to you somehow, sir!" he shouted, like a member addressing a drill sergeant.

Raven glared at him, "No. And I'm a girl if you hadn't noticed," she added. Beast Boy's sweat fell and he grinned sheepishly.

"Sorry," He said and then looked up in the taller guy in the sweater with his hood up. Raven finally looked at him as well.

"And you are…?" she started, waiting for him to finish. The answer she got was not one she expected.

"I'm a monster, a horrible person, if I can even call myself that," he said coldly.

"What do you mean?" Raven asked. The boy took off his hood and pointed to his face in one fluid motion.

"Happy? Look at me, I'm horrible! I'm half human! A Cyborg!" he shouted.

Raven overlooked him. He wasn't bad. He was a strong looking African American with a blue eye while his other side of his face was the robot part with a red light. Indeed, half of his body was made of robotic parts and technology, but that didn't make his value any less.

"I don't know why you hate that so much. I think it's cool," Beast Boy said optimistically.

"You don't know what it really feels like you little green grass stain. Not to be completely human and be able to feel things like everyone else…" Cyborg told him sadly.

'You have no idea how well I can relate,' Raven wanted to say, but kept the thought to herself as she looked to the ground for a while before finally looking up to meet both of their gazes.

"And you are…?" Cyborg started for her with a small grin, warming up slightly as she saw her growing shy.

"Raven. I wanted to see what's going on," she told him, "with that other girl and you two."

"Well we really don't know. I was walking down the street when suddenly that bright green thing came in front of me and it happened to be a girl. Then this little man showed up," Cyborg said to her, and Beast Boy nodded his head in agreement.

"Hmmm…" Raven started to think. She wondered where this mysterious girl had possibly come from. She looked over in the opposite to direction to see how Robin was fairing.

Robin kept trying to dodge the girl's blows. She was actually very strong for looking so meek and thin. Thank GOD her hands were cuffed with some sort of strong material all along her forearms.

He thought that the girl was in the most unusual attire. She had flowing red hair that went all the way down to her waist and orange skin. Her eyes were still just whole green, glowing, and on her head was some sort of silver face adornment that looked like an M. She had something else silver over her shoulders and neck that covered her collarbone with a green, circular gem in the middle. She had a black, short tank top that went about three inches above her belly button and a short black skirt with matching boots that went all the way up over her thighs and only a couple inches below her skirt. No skin was showing though. Where skin would have normally shown there was hard shiny metal.

The girl gave another cry out and spoke in a totally different language that Robin couldn't decipher as she charged at him and swung, missing as the Boy Wonder ducked and she hit the building behind him, crashing through the wall. Robin was glad that hadn't been his body.

The girl gritted her teeth in frustration, mad she couldn't use her powers to the best of their ability. She continuously banged her cuffs against the building now, trying to get them off of her. Robin watched in curiosity, and everytime he tried to approach her and make her stop, she swung at him harder.

After about twenty more hits to the building, a small piece broke off and she could see her hands. She smiled wickedly and then aimed her arms straight ahead at Robin. What happened next Robin wasn't ready for at all.

Green bolts of energy came firing out of the girl's hands like a machine gun, two at a time, one from each hand. Robin suddenly sprang into action and ran out of the way of the first couple shots, but she just kept firing them out and following his every move. She finally hit her target and he got a burn in his uniform on the shoulder, singeing him. He cringed but then jumped behind a taxi. The girl stopped fire and Robin exhaled.

He looked just in time to see the girl balancing a bus with her foot since her arms were still locked up. Robin turned pale and jumped out of the way as the bus hit the spot he had just been.

"She's stronger then she looks…" he muttered under his breath. The girl dropped to her knees, exhausted.

He then took out his Bo-staff and was ready to fight since the girl was down when a giant black raven flew in between the two in the middle of the road as a shield, blocking all ways to make contact. Robin sighed and looked behind him to see Raven's eyes white and hands glowing as she made her way toward him, the two other boys behind her. Her eyes turned back to normal and the shield faded.

"Maybe fighting isn't the answer," Raven told Robin. She gestured towards Beast Boy and Cyborg. "I simply asked them a few questions and none of us had to use violence. They aren't out to get us. I don't know about her, but it's worth a shot."

Robin nodded his head in agreement as he looked the other two over. "We could use your help." Both Beast Boy and Cyborg smiled and all four of them looked at the girl still on the ground. They slowly made their way up to her and then stopped when they were about a mere five feet away.

The girl suddenly jolted up, hands glowing green, ready to attack if needed. All of them stopped and Robin put his hands up.

"It's okay. We're here to just… talk and help you. We're just trying to be nice," he reassured her. She still didn't put down her arms and green glow was still there, but her eyes didn't look as mean.

"Please," Raven tried now, stepping next to Robin, "we're want to try and help you, if you'll stop."

At this the girl sighed, the glow leaving her hands and she looked down at the ground. The four of them breathed out sighs of relief and Robin stepped in front of her with a lock pick in hand.

"See, we're just trying to let you loose so you can help us maybe," he told her as he carefully unlocked the clamps on her arms. Finally there was a click and the clamps fell to the ground with a loud bang that echoed throughout the streets. The girl rubbed her arms for a brief second.

"See. Just helping," Robin said to her.

Without warning then, the girl grabbed him by the the back of his neck and kissed him on the lips. Robin's masked eyes turned wide and before he could even react she had pushed him away and he was on the ground looking up at her.

"Do not follow me if you wish to live," she said slowly, actually in English this time and in an angry tone. As soon as she said this she flew in the air and high above their heads. All four of them looked up. She was gone. Robin wiped his lips, sighing. What the hell.

"Now what?" Raven asked him, bendhing down to be at his side. She gave him her hand and pulled him up to stand with them.

"Well, now all we have to do is find her and-" Robin began but then was cut off when Raven threw her arm straight in the air, her index finger pointing at something. All of them turned to watch.

A giant space ship started to hover over little Jump city. It came right across the ocean, and then stopped over a little tiny island just off the main land. There was a buzzing sound and a holograph of giant alien lizard was standing on the island so the whole city could see. The image of him was a little fuzzy, but then cleared. It then spoke.

"People of Earth. Please do not be alarmed. We bring you no harm. All we need is the escaped alien girl that is on earth. Do not interfere, and we will spare your pathetic planet and your existence. Help her, and all of you will be doomed," it said, "our leader has ordered us to find her. Do not interfere with our mission on Earth, and we will leave as soon is she is captured."

With that his imaged faded away and a door opened up from the bottom of the spacecraft. Many more of the aliens came out, hundreds of them. They went throughout the city, just like they had said, and simply began to search for the girl that they had run into. The teens stood there for a few seconds, just staring at each other. Finally the silence was broken when someone spoke.

"Well, you heard the big mean and scary green lizard man. We better not mess with their mission if we want to live. And I would really like to live" Beast Boy pleaded to the other three.

"I have to say, and I really hate to say it, but I agree with him on this. They said not to interfere, if we do then all the people of this city and the planet will be doomed. I don't want the end of the world to be on my shoulders," Raven whispered.

"Well are we supposed to just let them take her? She might need our help. She didn't seem half bad… besides the fact that she attacked us and burned Bird Boy over here. Other then that I say we help her," Cyborg said.

"Sorry but I have to agree with him on this," Robin told them, "Raven… trust me on this."

She hesitated, not answering for a moment, but eventually nodded her head. She'd already came this far for him.

Robin looked at the other two. "We could really use your two's assistance. What can you guys do?"

Beast Boy's hand shot up in the air, "Oh, I can turn into animals! Even if they're extinct!" he exclaimed.

"That can be useful, definitely." Robin turned to face Cyborg.

"I'm strong," He merely said. Robin nodded his head and looked at Raven.

"We need to work as a team," Robin said to them all, "teamwork is key in this situation. Without it we'll fail. So Cyborg, Beast Boy, how bout we start up a little team with us for – just this once?"

Beast Boy nearly fainted, "Me? On a team with you guys? Why I… I never thought I could hold such an honor…"

Raven looked at Robin hesitantly. Teamwork, friendship, trust… she didn't know if she could handle it. She didn't dare voice her opinion though at a time like this.

"Yes," him and Cyborg finally said in unison. Robin grinned and a look of determination crossed his face.

"Then lets do this."

The newly acquainted team raced down the streets, trying to not be seen by the aliens that were also looking for the alien girl. After a while of this and getting nowhere, they stopped in an alley to rethink their plan.

"We need a better way to find her," Robin stated.

"She's nearby," Raven said to them. Everyone but Robin looked at her oddly. "What? I can sense these things."

Beast Boy turned into a dog and sniffed around for a while. He then changed back, saying, "And I think I've got her scent, Raven's right."

"I can track her through the G.P.S built into my arm," Cyborg added in. Robin smiled and the three followed the green dog as he led them to where that girl supposedly was. It didn't take long, because where Beast Boy lead them to was the snack building with its doors broken off the hinges.

"Approach carefully," Robin reminded them in a whisper. They nodded their heads and walked through the doorway and into the shop. The girl heard this and turned around, immediately having her hands illuminated by her power as she took a battle stance.

"Hey, remember? We're friends," Robin told her as the four approached. She still did not extinguish her bolts.

"What is this meaning… friends? On my planet we do not have such a word," She told them rudely.

"Just please, trust us. We're here to help you get away from those scary lizard things," Beast Boy explained to her.

"Why are they after you anyway?" Raven asked. The girl sighed and her bolts vanished. Her solid green eyes left were replaced by normal looking, bright green orbs. She looked up at them and frowned.

"On my planet the Gordanians use me as their servant, making me do all their bidding, no matter what it may be or how cruel it may seem. I was awarded to them as a prize…" she told them, "and I did not listen to them once and they became enraged at me. I was… scared of what they would do and started to kill off their numbers. Then they caught me though and trapped me. Yet I managed to escape, and ended up landing here, on this strange planet, where people are…nice," She finished for them.

"Well then don't worry," Robin said. "we won't let them take you back again with them."

"You're safe with us," Cyborg told her reassuringly as he put a hand on her shoulder. She smiled up at him.

"THERE IS THE PRISONER! SEIZE HER AND THE PEOPLE TRYING TO HELP WITH HER ESCAPE!" they heard someone shout from behind them. Everyone looked to see about five Gordanians behind him or her.

Robin looked around for an exit, but there was none to be found, so he took out some explosive disks out of his belt and opened them. He threw them at the aliens and the disks exploded as soon as they touched the ground in front of them. With smoke blinding them and burning their eyes, the teens were free to escape quickly, and they did. They ran straight through the fog of smoke quickly and ran far away down many streets before actually stopping to finally take a breather.

"Tell the commander that people have interfered," the leader commanded his troops, "Earth must be and will be eliminated."

The five of them stood in a deserted street, hoping that the aliens wouldn't find them.

"Smart thinking," Cyborg complimented. Robin nodded in his direction as he fought to catch his breath.

"Now what do we do?" the girl inquired.

Just then the holographic lizard from the ship was back on that little island, and he again began to talk. They paid close attention.

"People of Earth. Some have interfered with the alien girl. For this, you are all doomed. We have a weapon that can and will destroy your whole city. It will only be a matter of time before it is ready. You have been warned," and with that said, it dissolved back into the ship.

"There," Raven said and pointed to the spacecraft hovering in the sky, "we need to go there to stop them from starting that machine and letting lose its wrath to the whole city."

"Is that thing like highly guarded? 'Cause if it is I don't think that there is any hope for us," Beast Boy said. They all glared at him and he shrugged his shoulders as if saying 'What, you all know I'm right.'

"Well, it is usually highly secured. But since most of them left that to go search for my whereabouts, I would assume that the security up there is most thin," she told them as she looked at the craft thoughtfully.

"Alright then. Get us up there, Raven," Robin told her. She sighed and closed her eyes, trying to concentrate.

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos," she said and black power engulfed the teens.

They were in one of the many hallways now, Raven having just teleported them all there. Beast Boy was shivering.

"I don't know how you do that all the time! That's just so…"

Raven raised an eyebrow, waiting for him to finish.

"Awesome!" he finished with a fake smile on his face as he gave her the thumbs up sign. She rolled her eyes and everyone walked down the long hall.

"I bring you… apology," the girl told Robin. He looked up at her when he heard her speak.

"It's okay, really. Forget about it. I shouldn't have charged at you in the first place," Robin said to her.

"It is just that on my planet the only person that has showed me such kindness was my kanorfka," She explained. Robin nodded in understanding and she smiled back.

"Um, guys? I think they know we're here!" Beast Boy shouted out in alarm suddenly as many Gordanians surrounded the five teens in a circle.

"Attack!" Robin yelled and the teens did just that.

Robin kicked at one first, followed by a major knock out punch by Cyborg. Beast Boy then came up behind him in the form of a kangaroo and kicked him in the back of the head, rendering him unconscious. The girl easily took care of others in their way, while Raven simply watched, trying to hold in her power.

They walked for a while longer until they got to the biggest room in the ship. There they saw all the troops, numerous guards, the giant secret weapon that girl had been talking about, and the head honcho himself.

They looked on silently, the door creaking only silently.

"Lord Trogar, the weapon is about ready," a Gordanian told him at the head of the control panel, "All systems are a go."

"Yes…" Lord Trogar hissed, "Then begin the fire sequence."

There were many bright lights and funny writings on the screens as they flashed in color, and the giant blaster gun loaded up.

"I, Lord Trogar, shall destroy this city and many others. The earth scum shall know that it will take more then just five juvenile heroes to simply stop me." He laughed mechanically, as if just thinking that simple thought were comical. "Prepare to fire."

Just then there was an explosion from the door and the teens were seen when the smoke cleared.

"We're not just five heroes," Robin said, stepping into the room. "We're one team."

"Guards, destroy them! And bring me my servant back!" the leader ordered. The Gordanians sprang into action right away and started to attack them.

Beast Boy was charged at by one of them and he turned into a kangaroo once again. He hoped from one to the other, knocking them down as he went along. Finally one of them knocked him senseless, changing back into a human on the way up, into a wall high above and he fell. The giant Gordanian was about to punch him again when Raven came out of nowhere and stood in front of him.

She put a black small shield around her arm as the Gordanian hit her. He hit her again and she backed up, the shield fading and reappearing with every hit she took. Finally he hit her with such force she lost her concentration and balance and fell to the floor, unable to protect herself now from the blow she was about to receive. She looked up at the monster with a glare in her eyes.

But before pain could actually be inflicted upon her, Robin jumped on its back, making it tug at him and turn away from Raven and Beast Boy.

"Get away from them!" Robin shouted as he tried to hang on and distract the beast for as long as possible. This gave Raven time to get up and help Beast Boy.

Then Robin got off of it and punched it a couple of times with great force. Then he was caught quickly and flung off across the room. The girl saw this and she gasped. Her eyes turned a furious green and she blasted at the many Gordanians in the room with her bolts. One caught her in its hands and locked her small body in his death grip as it threw her around and banged her into the ground a couple of times. She fought against it for a while before being able to free an arm and blast him off.

Cyborg came and helped her up. Then both of them grinned and punched them together. One went down. Two went down. Three. Four. Five. They were in perfect sync as they went and put down the aliens. But then they started to fight back.

They punched them in the sides and in the face, and after a while the teens flew back to where Robin was resting on the floor. About seven of the remaining Gordanians all circled around Robin, Cyborg and the girl. They looked ready to kill and were pretty pissed off that their weapon of mass destruction would not zap the city right away, but instead was left on hold.

"Can you rewire that thing into some sort of weapon?" Robin asked Cyborg when he saw one of his right mechanical arms open to reveal wires and whatnot.

"I can try," he responded dryly.

Then the Gordanians heard movement a ways beside them, they turned to see what it was. It was Raven, helping support Beast Boy as he hung onto her and she held onto him with one hand, and the one other free.

"Get away from my friends!" Raven shouted angrily. "Azarath Metrion ZINTHOS!" she cried and there was a great explosion in the ship, blowing up one of the motors. The spacecraft came down quickly and fell into the ocean.

It floated there, simply floating in the water. Everyone looked around to see every Gordanian down but one. Lord Trogar stood up right in front of Raven and Beast Boy, and all they could do was look up at the twice-their-size alien helplessly. Its' claws grew sharper and longer and it was ready to strike.

Then there was a brilliant light blue light that blasted the alien, making him fall to the ground in front of the two startled teens. When he did it revealed Cyborg standing there, his arm now a blaster.

"Alright, I'm only gonna say this once," He promised them with a grin on his face. "Booyah!"

They all sighed and got off the ship, onto the tiny island that it had been over mere minutes ago. They looked out onto the horizon and the sun was setting in the west already, ending a very stressfilled day.

"That's quite a view," Raven stated, her hood down now, eyes transfixed on the glistening waters in front of her and her new friends.

"Somebody ought to build a house out here," Cyborg added, also looking out across the vast waters.

"Yeah. If you like sunshine, and the beach," Beast Boy joked as he elbowed Raven in the arm as he grinned and raised his eyebrows. Raven raised an eyebrow in response, face unamused.

"Please," the girl suddenly said, appearing behind them as they turned around to face her. "I am… nice?"

She was wearing the exact same outfit from before, only purple now and skin showing where the metal used to be. Everyone looked at her and finally Robin spoke for all of them.

"Yes. Nice. But… we still don't know your name," he told her.

"In your language, it would be Star…fire," She told them as she approached.

"Welcome to Earth, Starfire," Robin greeted her.

"I thank you all for your bravery and help, and I wish to ask permission, to remain here. Where the people are most strange, but also most kind," She finished.

"You don't need our permission," Raven told her calmly.

"But if you want our friendship, you've got it," Robin finished.

"I guess we could all use some good friends," Cyborg said.

"Besides, we kind of made a good team," Beast Boy piped up.

"I couldn't agree more," Robin said with a grin. "I thought that we might want to keep in touch, so Cyborg and I created these."

Robin stuck out his hand and he held out three yellow and black communicators with T's on them. Raven, Beast Boy and Starfire grabbed one. Robin's grin widened, hope in his mind.

"When there's trouble, you'll know who to call."
