CHAPTER 3 coming right up! Please Read and Review, I love reading reviews!
Also, I know that Jinx became a Titan, but this story disregards that because I think it's stupid.
EEEEEEE! EEEEEEE! EEEEEEEE!
Kyd Wykkyd looked around to see Raven's room blinking a red light in and out, and stared at her in confusion.
"Trouble." She stated when she saw his expression. Nodding his head, he took a step back and pulled on his cape.
'I'll be in touch.' Teleporting out of her room, he made his way back to the Hive where he was instantly tackled by Mammoth.
"Where have you been, pipsqueak?" He growled at Kyd in a less-than-serious tone.
'Ugh...too tight! Can't breathe...' Mammoth let him go with a grin on his face.
"Sorry Kyd, but you're still not off the hook. We were all looking for you."
"You can say that again." A voice came from the kitchen. Jinx walked out while holding up Gizmo. "When you were not in your room and that church explosion was in the news, we knew something was up.
"Yeah snotmuncher. What did you do, take out a few bible thumpers or something?" Gizmo laughed as he ate a cookie, almost choking on it. Jinx took it away from him while staring expectantly at Kyd.
Holding up a hand, Kyd began. 'I know what it looks like, but that wasn't me. We steal stuff, but we have never taken a life before. Why should I start now?'
"True, but you still haven't answered the question." Jinx hounded him, narrowing her eyes.
'I was just out and about, looking over the city...' He smiled weakly.
Before Jinx could continue, the T.V. let out a loud sound.
"Breaking news!" The middle-aged reporter began, straightening his papers before looking back at the T.V. "Approximately 20 minutes ago, an unidentified male strolled into a McDonald's and attacked an employee. The victim appears to have been gutted and dragged out of the shop before appearing to vanish entirely! Here is an image from one of the cameras in the restauraunt." A close up image of the killer showed up on the screen, and Kyd recognized it instantly. "If you have any information on the murderer or his whereabouts, please contact you're local police department immediately."
'Trigon...' Kyd thought to himself as he stared at the screen, tensing up. The other members noticed his visible shiftin demeanor and watched him curiously. 'Perhaps I can use this to my advantage...'
"Kyd? Do you know who that is?" Mammoth asked hesitantly, not sure of whether or not they should get involved.
'He attacked me about an hour ago before getting away.' Technically it wasn't a lie. Trigon did smash him into a tree after all. The other members looked at the T.V. with narrowed eyes. They may be villains, but they always look after their own, which is what Kyd is counting on. 'I want to know who he is and where he is now.'
"I'm on it." Gizmo grinned and got out of Jinx's grasp. "The puke stain won't know what hit em!" Kyd watched as Gizmo ran to his room and followed him. Lo and behold, a giant computer with countless monitors were planted on the wall. "Hacking the city mainframe and bypassing the firewalls, we can route all the IPs to connect to my system and transmit the signal of every camera in the city to run through our computer before returning to the source."
"English, Gizmo." Mammoth rubbed his head as he and Jinx walked in. Gizmo grinned and held out his arms.
"We'll have eyes all over the city."
'Well isn't that convenient.' Kyd looked around with a raised eyebrow. 'Where's See-More?'
"We have our own Sauron in the sky! Isn't that right See-More?" Gizmo yelled into a microphone.
"Copy that Frodo Bald-ins. The Eye of Mordor is on the lookout."
'Uh...What?' Kyd telepathed to Gizmo.
"We got a confused Balrog over here Sauron."
"What else can you expect? His ignorance is beyond any of us."
'Are you guys seriously-'
"YOU SHALL NOT PASS!"
Mammoth walked out of the room while shaking his head. "Fucking nerds..."
"So this is all the footage we have to work with?" Robin spoke to one of the detectives on the scene of the crime. Agent Matthews, the lead investigator of Jump City, nodded at his question.
"We've never seen anything like it, especially those eyes. After seeing the remains of the Church and this happening right after, we figured it's something unnatural. So we called you guys up."
Robin closed his eyes for a second as he processed the information before returning to the monitor that was in the backroom of the McDonald's. "Has there been any identification of the suspect?"
"Chris Hemmingway, aged 16. He is a foster child with no living relatives, though he does have adopted parents. We are looking into it." Agent Matthews looked at the monitor. "Have you ever seen anything like this before? The reports say he has blue eyes, yet they are red here. Also he gutted a man with his bare hands within seconds..."
Robin nodded. "You see a lot of things in this line of work. You mind leaving me alone in this room for a second?"
The detective nodded and walked out. Robin pulled out his communicator. "Raven, I need you to come look at this."
In no time, Raven phased into the wall and looked at the monitor. "We usually handle super criminals Robin. I don't see why we can't let the police..." Raven visibly tensed up as she noticed the pure red eyes on the assailant from the photo.
"You're right, but I am starting to think that there is a connection from what happened at the church and the events here. Supposing Kyd Wykkyd was telling the truth, tell me what we are looking at right now."
Looking hard at the photo, Raven felt her heart stop. Those red eyes were the spitting image of Trigon's, there was no question about it. 'I can't let them worry about Trigon again. This is my family matter, my mess. I will clean it up.'
"If Kyd spoke the truth, then what you are looking at is a possessed human. Their soul, spirit, or however you want to call it is gone. All that is left in there is an ethereal spirit or demon. Newly obtained hosts are usually weak when they enter the Earth through this method, though their strength tends to ramp up quickly when they take in kills and sacrifices." Raven droned on her monotone voice, though inside she was feeling a mix of fear and rage. "The only way this can be stopped is if the demon is killed, or exercised. Since the host is gone, damage to the body should not be of any concern."
"Do demons have any abilities that they bring with them into their host?" Robin asked, his mind reeling with all this new information.
"Yes. They can perform spells, though they are usually limited in early stages unless there is a very powerful demon in the body. At early stages, they can teleport but only for short they can consume enough power, they can shed the meat suit they are using and become their true form. That is when they become nigh unstoppable. Only holy weapons or an act of a deity would be enough to completely vanquish them."
Robin stared at her. "I don't want to bring up old news... But when your father came to the Earth, we didn't have any holy weapons."
Raven nodded. "Yes, but that was because he was banished, not destroyed. Also, you did have a holy item if the reports were correct. The Ring of Azar was blessed by Azar himself, a divine being from my home. It was able to shield you from Trigon's wrath several times. I believe."
Robin turned back to the monitor. "This is all assuming Kyd Wykkyd was telling the truth. Do you believe him? I'm willing to go off on a limb and trust your judgement on this."
Raven stared at Robin's back for a moment as she thought. 'It would be best if he trusted Kyd on this. This way, we can have him help us.'
"Yes, I couldn't sense a lie coming from him. So I do trust him on this, even if he is a villain."
Robin nodded and pulled out his communicator. "Okay team, listen up." He spoke into it, giving instructions to the other three titans. "We have a creature that looks like a human roaming the streets. I am sending you his picture now. Locate him, but do not engage alone. I repeat, do not engage alone."
Putting away his communicator, Robin looked at Raven. "Raven, you have a different assignment. Locate Kyd Wykkyd, and see if he knows anything about this. Bring him in for questioning if that is possible."
Raven nodded at his command and immediately phased out of the room. Robin watched her leave and connected his communicator to the monitor, sending the image of the demon's host to the other titans.
4 Hours Later...
"Alright guys, let's call it a night." Jinx spoke to the group as they slunk through the alleys. "We haven't found him yet Kyd, so I think we should just swallow this one. Who knows, maybe the titans will find him. After all, he did kill someone."
'You may be right. Let's pack it up.' Kyd nodded and turned to leave before he heard a yell on his mic.
"Hold up guys, I am seeing something at the East end of Jump City."
"What do you have, Gizmo?" Mammoth spoke on his mic, looking up at the road signs. East part of town was only a block away.
"...I see him! The snotmuncher just walked into Carmen's Cafe! It's pretty packed in there too."
"Thanks Gizmo, we will take it from here." Jinx turned the mic off and turned to Kyd. "Ready?"
Kyd nodded and grabbed his two teammates before teleporting them outside the cafe. Carmen Cafe was one of the more popular spots for teens to hang out at in Jump City. The music was usually relaxing, and the food wasn't bad. The place was quiet from the outside however, and the windows were tinted, giving them zero visibility as to what was going on inside. Taking a deep breath, Kyd kicked the door down, unprepared for what he was about to see.
It was a massacre.
There could have at least been 15 people in there, yet it was hard to tell due to the disemboweled bodies and limbs littering the floor. Organs and entrails practically decorated the walls, making the scene even more haunting than it already was.
"I think I'm going to be sick.." Mammoth clutched his mouth while Jinx gagged at the sight.
"SOMEONE PLEASE DO SOMETHING!" A loud scream could be heard in the cafe. Kyd rushed in and saw the host of Trigon towering over a young couple, claws extending out of his meat suit. Not even thinking about it, he teleported towards the host and delivered a bone-shattering kick to the jaw with his inhuman strength, sending the adversary to the wall.
'Jynx! Get them out of here.' Kyd roared out telepathically, waiting for Trigon to come out of the hole in the wall. Not questioning him, Jynx led them out.
"It's going to be alright guys, we will handle it from here. Just go!" She pointed out in the streets. The couple nodded and ran as fast as they could, not looking back.
"What is he Kyd? That's no human... And since when did we start acting like heros?" Mammoth cracked his knuckles and neck. It was at that moment Trigon came out of the wall, looking unharmed yet enraged.
"That is going to be your first and last mistake, spawn." Trigon spoke out in a booming, chilling voice. Kyd narrowed his eyes and took a step forward.
'Do you have my back Mammoth?'
"Gladly."
"Don't forget me." Jinx's eyes glowed. "I want some of the fun too!"
'GO!'
The three members of the High Five rushed Trigon, who stared at them with a vicious smile.
WHOOOOOOOOO YES!
