Symbiosis - Chapter 8: Symbiotic
"Say what?" Cyborg responded, the team raised concerned eyebrows.
Beast Boy repeated himself, "This thing." He said referring to the Symbiote covering his body, "Is fighting with Beast, and I'm caught in the middle."
He sighed as he spoke again, "They don't like to share…"
Cyborg spoke up, "Wait, remember when that thing was latching onto the rest of us?" The team nodded, "My Sonic Cannon affects that thing, that's how we got it off." The team let out sighs of relief, now they had a solution.
Beast Boy thought for a moment, "It's going to hurt…" He whispered to himself.
He looked at the team, "Cy, that thing didn't even 'bond' with you guys." He shuttered at the word 'bond' as he said it.
Beast Boy continued, "Did it hurt when coming off?" The question directed at Cyborg, Robin and Starfire, Cyborg shrugged, as did Robin and Starfire.
"That thing could hardly hold on to me anyhow, I'm half metal." Cyborg explained, Robin spoke next.
"It hurt a little, but I gathered that was because of the cannon itself." Starfire nodded as she spoke next.
"It is very much the same with me, I hardly felt anything but the cannon of sonic." Beast Boy thought again, then looked at Cyborg before speaking again.
"Cy, hypothetically, how much would it hurt to remove now since it bonded with me?" The team was a first shocked at the fact Beast Boy used the word: 'Hypothetically'.
But that soon passed rather quickly as Cyborg responded, "I guess it could."
Beast Boy sighed, "Alright, here's the plan: Rae, hold me with your powers, and don't let go, Cy, shoot me with your Sonic Cannon, don't stop until this thing has peeled off completely, not even a strand, Rob and Star, when it comes off hit it with star-bolts and explosive disks to keep it away, Cy and Raven can help you out with that is necessary." He paused, looking at each of them, "I mean it when I say it, don't stop until it comes off."
Raven frowned, "Remember that I'm an empath, whatever pain you go through I could end up feeling too." Beast Boy look at her with an unreadable expression.
"Then do what you always do, tune me out." Raven's frown never left her face.
"You sure about this B? There's gotta be a less painful way." Cyborg muttered while charging up his Sonic Cannon.
"This is the only way, Cy." Beast Boy sighed, "This has to be done, we don't need a Talon-Beast hybrid to break out of control."
Raven took a deep breath, "If this is truly the only way, then I'll need a lot of concentration, believe it or not Beast Boy, you're very difficult to tune out." Beast Boy nodded.
"I try." Raven rolled her eyes, and started chanting her mantra under her breath as her eyes and hands lit up with her energy, Beast Boy was lifted a few centimeters from the ground.
Raven nodded slightly, giving the signal, Beast Boy looked at Cyborg and nodded, that was his cue, Cyborg fired the Sonic Cannon after whispering something.
"Sorry buddy..."
