Chapter 15: Pet Problems
It was a calm day in Jump City, except for the giant moths flying around the street, causing trouble. Riding on two small moths was Killer Moth, laughing as his creations caused havoc.
"Go on, my children," he shouted. "Go and cause havoc, in the name of Killer Moth!"
People screamed as they ran to the nearest cover. A young boy tripped and fell to the ground. He looked up and screamed as a moth flew towards him. Just as it reached him, a green ray blasted it away, saving the boy. He looked at the side and smiled widely.
"Danny Phantom!" he cheered as Phantom picked him and carried him to safety.
Suddenly, Raven, Beastboy, Starfire and Robin started saving the citizens, picking them up and carrying them to safety.
"Watch your step next time," Phantom said as he handed the boy to his mother. He then turned around and saw the moths looking at him menacingly. Killer Moth was at the center, with his arms crossed. The others landed next to him, ready to fight.
"Well, well, if it isn't the Ghost Boy Wonder and his friends," Killer Moth said before looking around. "Where's the robot and the blond? We're they scared to face me?"
"Like they'll be afraid of facing a guy who wore an outfit made by his mom," Phantom said with a smirk.
"Shut up!" Killer Moth exclaimed angrily. "My mom worked hard on that outfit! I mean…prepare for your defeat, Phantom! Attack!"
The moths flew towards the Titans, who tensed before Phantom smirked.
"Now!" Phantom shouted. Suddenly, the ground erupted and large slabs of rock surrounded the moths until it made a large sphere that trapped the moths.
"What!?" Killer Moth exclaimed as he looked at the sphere that trapped his babies. He looked up and saw Terra floating on a slab of rock, with Cyborg next to her.
"Let's see how moths react to high frequency," Cyborg said as he aimed his sonic cannon at the sphere. "Do it, Terra."
Terra lifted her hands, making a hole in the sphere. Cyborg fired at the hole, releasing a high frequency noise. Inside, the moths were confused by the sound before it became painful. They started flying around uncontrollably, smashing against the walls and each other. Soon, their bodies couldn't handle the sound and started exploding inside the sphere, making small cracks on it.
When it stopped, it broke like an egg and crumbled, causing gray goo and insect legs to ooze on the streets.
"That's disgusting," Raven said as Beastboy, Terra and Cyborg looked pale from the mess.
"Gr…I'll return, Titans!" Killer Moth exclaimed as he flew away with his remaining two moths.
"Should we go after him?" Robin asked as he watched the villain fly away.
"We'll deal with him later," Phantom said as he looked at the mess. "Right now, we make sure this mess isn't poisonous and clean it up."
"Aw man," Beastboy said with a slump. "If I knew we were going to clean, I would have stayed in my room."
"That's more poisonous than this goop," Raven commented, causing Beastboy to yell "Hey!"
Terra and Cyborg landed next to them before Cyborg kneeled next to the goop and used his finger to scan it. He looked at the scanner in his arm, reading it.
"Some chemicals, but it's not poisonous," he said to Phantom, who nodded.
"Alright Titans, let's clean up this mess," he said as some of them groaned.
It wasn't always fighting and stopping criminals, sometimes they clean up the mess they make. It was half their fault why the city is a mess, so the least they could do was clean it up. A hero's life is never simple.
The Titans started cleaning the mess up; Starfire and Cyborg were carrying the rubble, Terra used her power to fix the ground, Beastboy, as an elephant, was washing away the muck while Robin and Raven were tending the ones who might have been injured.
Phantom was burning the goop away with his powers before his Ghost Sense activated. Surprised, he looked around the place with wide eyes.
"A Ghost?" Raven said as she saw the blue mist escape his mouth. "Do you need backup?"
"No, it doesn't feel like a strong Ghost, probably just a stray," Phantom said as he looked at the direction where he sensed the Ghost. "I'll handle it. You guys just clean this up."
Raven nodded before Phantom flew towards where he felt the Ghost is. He looked down on an alley and landed there. He pulled out an Ecto-rang and walked through the alley, looking around with narrow eyes.
He heard the trashcans fall and saw a green blur run behind the boxes. He walked towards the boxes slowly, preparing to throw his projectile. Suddenly, a green blur burst out the boxes and tackled him to the ground. He dropped his Ecto-rang and felt the breath knocked out his chest.
Phantom groaned before he felt his face getting licked. Blinking, he looked and saw a pair of red eyes looking at him. Shaking his head, he looked and saw that it was a green, Ghost puppy with a black collar around its neck.
"Cujo?" he said as the puppy barked and started licking his face. "Okay, okay. Get off me boy."
Cujo jumped off his chest and started running around. Phantom stood up and patted his clothes before he saw a note that fell out of Cujo's collar. Confused, he picked up the note and read it.
"To Whelp. This dog is your problem now. Don't send it back. Skin you soon, Skulker," he read aloud. He blinked before looking on the Ghost puppy.
He remembered the last time he saw Cujo, it was when he accidentally ruined Valerie's life and she became the Red Huntress. He hasn't seen the Ghost Dog after he gave it the squeaky toy he was looking for.
From the note, Cujo must have went back to the Ghost Zone, and caused trouble so much that he was sent to him. He looked at Cujo, who was chewing his squeaky toy. He sighed. He can't just leave the guy in the city, he might destroy it while playing.
He could keep Cujo in the Tower, but then the other Titans might badger him on letting them keep pets. He already said no to Terra about letting her keep a mutated silk worm months ago.
He looked at Cujo again, who looked at him with red eyes, his tail wagging. Phantom sighed and picked him up, putting the note between his collar.
"This will be our little secret, okay?" he said to Cujo, who just barked.
He flew towards the Tower, holding the excited Ghost Dog.
Meanwhile, the rest of the Titans were walking through the Tower's hallway, tired from cleaning up the mess.
"It's so unfair that Phantom bailed on cleaning duty," Beastboy said, rubbing his sore nose.
"He said that he sensed a Ghost, so he took care of it," Raven explained.
"But still, it's not fair," Beastboy mumbled.
"Relax, BB," Cyborg said as they neared the Living Room. "We're almost to our comfortable sofa. Just a few more steps."
"Yeah, I can't wait to sit down and relax," Robin said and the others agreed with him.
When the doors opened, instead of seeing a clean and comfy room, they saw that it was a room that was practically destroyed. They stared at the room in shock silence, not knowing how to react.
Phantom secretly flew in the Tower, putting Cujo in his lab so no one can see him. He was trained enough to behave himself, until he can find a solution for Cujo.
"No stay here and be quiet," he said to the dog, who just barked, causing Phantom to jump and quickly covering his mouth. "I said be quiet!"
Cujo just made a sound before Phantom let him go. He stared at Cujo for a while before walking out the lab to meet his friends. The moment Phantom was gone, Cujo ran to the walls, phasing through it.
Phantom flew through the halls before he heard noises in the living room. He flew towards it and opened the doors. "Guys, something wr-WHAT HAPPENED HERE!?"
Phantom looked at the destroyed living room, the Titans looking through the wreckage, except for Cyborg who was crying about his destroyed sofa.
"Phantom, where have you been?" Robin asked as he looked at their leader.
"Never mind that, what happened to our living room?" Phantom said as he looked at the place. "Beastboy, is this another prank?"
"It wasn't me, dude!" Beastboy exclaimed.
"If it wasn't you…Cyborg, check the security feed and see if we had an intruder," Phantom said, and Cyborg nodded, still depressed about his sofa. He opened the computer on his arm and checked the monitors.
"No, there's no security breaches," Cyborg said. "And no one's tampered with the computers."
"Then whoever did this might be skilled enough to go through undetected…or someone brought something that shouldn't be here." Phantom said as he looked at Beastboy and Terra with deadpanned eyes.
"It wasn't me!" Beastboy exclaimed, waving his arms.
"Be on guard, everyone! The intruder might still be here. Split up and search the Tower top from bottom!"
Everyone nodded, except Terra, who was looking very nervous. As soon as everyone exited the room, she looked at her friends before she spotted Starfire. Before Starfire would follow the others, she quickly grabbed her arm and pulled her the other direction.
"C'mon Starfire, let's search this way!" she exclaimed to the confused alien. When they were far enough, Terra dragged Starfire to her room and locked the door.
"Why are we in your room, friend Terra?" Starfire asked, looking at her friend, who appeared very nervous.
"Look, promise not to tell, especially to Phantom, please?" Terra pleaded with puppy eyes.
"Okay?" Starfire said, tilting her head in confusion.
"I know what wrecked the living room," she said as she looked around her room.
"You do? What wrecked our room for living?" Starfire asked.
"Well…do you remember the time when mutated moths attacked the city and Phantom had to date that annoying girl and we beat up Killer Moth?" Terra asked and Starfire began remembering that day.
"Yes, I remember," Starfire said with a nod.
"And you remembered that mutated worm that Phantom wouldn't let me keep?" Terra said in a nervous tone.
"Yes…"
"Well, I decided to keep it," Terra said before she opened her closet and pulled out something. "Say hello to Silkie!"
Starfire jumped back as she saw a white, slimy and mutant looking larvae that was drooling and moving its stubby legs. She grimaced a bit from its appearance.
"Why do you keep this Silkie here?" Starfire asked.
"I couldn't just leave him all alone," Terra said sadly. "I mean look at this cute little thing!"
Starfire grimaced a bit. She may not know how cute works in this planet, but she disagreed.
"What do you want me to do?" Starfire asked in confusion.
"Well, they might try and search my room after Beastboy's," Terra said with a chuckle before holding up Silkie in front of Starfire. "But they won't think of looking through your room! Can you please hide him! Pleeeaaase!"
Starfire didn't want to, but the puppy dog eyes Terra was giving her weakened her will. She then reluctantly accepted, causing Terra to cheer and handed her Silkie. "Thanks Star! I owe you one!"
Starfire looked at the mutated worm unhappily before it gave her a big smile that eased her a bit. She looked at it more closely, it looks cute.
"…Hello, Silkie," she said and it started cooing at her cutely, making her smile widely. "Ooooh! You're just the cutest little bumgorf!"
Starfire and Terra jumped when they heard loud knocking. The two ran around the room before Terra opened her window and gestured Starfire to fly out, which she quickly did, carrying Silkie in her arms. Once they were gone, her door was forced open, causing her to yelp.
Raven and Robin entered her room as she tried to play cool.
"Hey guys," she said, hiding her nervousness behind the smile. "Sorry I didn't hear you. I had…my earphones on."
"Mind if we look at your room?" Raven said with her eyes narrowed.
"Sure, knock yourselves out," Terra said as she leaned on the window, forgetting that it was opened. She fell through and Robin quickly grabbed her foot, leaving her dangling on the window, waving her arms in panic. "Help!"
"Hold still!" Robin exclaimed as he pulled Terra by the leg. Raven was watching everything from her spot, the corner of her lips lifting a little.
Meanwhile, Phantom was walking back to his lab, thinking what might have attacked their tower. Cyborg already checked Beastboy's room, and Raven and Robin was at Terra's room. He was going to Starfire's room, after all, she did try and put stray cats in her room before he put a stop to it.
"I'm sure Cujo is still in the lab," he said to himself. "After all, he is trained."
He then looked in front of him and saw Cujo chewing on his wrench before looking up at him. The two stared at each other for three whole seconds before Cujo ran away with Phantom on his tail.
"Get back here!" Cujo flew through the wall, causing Phantom to do the same.
Meanwhile, Starfire was in her room, looking at the crying Silkie. He was quiet a minute before he started bawling.
"What is the matter, little Silkie?" she said in a distressed tone. Remembering what she learned about pets, she got an idea. "Do you require a bath?"
She picked up the mutant larvae and started licking it, like how a lioness cleans her cubs. She licked his head and sides until she stopped, hearing a growling sound. She listened closely and realized that the sound was coming from Silkie.
"Oh, you are hungry!" she said with a smile before she frowned. "But what do little Silkies eat?"
She placed Silkie on a high chair and started looking for edible things in her room.
"Pizza?" she held a slice of pizza to Silkie, who shook his head. "Mustard?" she held a bottle of mustard, Silkie shook his head. "Cheeseburger?" she held a cheeseburger in front of Silkie, he shook his head.
"Hm…what can I feed you…" she pondered before a lightbulb appeared on her head. "I know!"
She rushed towards her closet and return with a purple jar. She opened it and revealed alien purple berries. "Zorkaberries! Delicacies from my home planet!"
She ate one berry, savoring the flavor. Silkie looked at her before at the berries. He made his way to the jar, took one berry and ate it. It made a happy noise before diving in the jar, eating the berries.
"Good, while you feast, I shall make your sleeping nest," Starfire said as she turned her back on Silkie and looked at the room and spotted her curtains. She smiled, thinking she could use those to make a bed for Silkie.
She didn't notice Silkie suddenly growing big until he towered above Starfire. The alien turned around and yelp in shock, tearing the curtains by accident. "Silkie!?"
The giant, mutated worm gurgled happily as Starfire panicked. She would have been able to hide him, but now there's nothing big enough to hide a seven foot, mutated larvae.
"Silkie, what has happened to you?" she asked worriedly to the mutated worm. "Oh no, what am I going to-." A knock on the door made her jump.
"Star? Open up," Robin said, knocking on the door.
"J-just a minute!" Starfire said as she looked around the room. "I am not decent!"
She flew around the room before looking at her open closet. Acting quickly, she opened it and pushed Silkie in before closing it. She then flew to the door and opened it, trying to look calm.
"May I help you, my friends?" she said with a smile.
"Did Phantom come by?" Robin asked as he and Raven walked in.
"No, he did not," Starfire said, shaking her head. "Why?"
"He was supposed to look in your room," Robin said.
"Hey, what happened to your curtains?" Raven asked, looking at the torn curtains with a raised eyebrow.
"Oh! It is…um…Tamaranean custom to destroy curtains," Starfire said in a nervous tone before glaring at the curtains with glowing eyes. "Stupid curtains!"
Outside the Tower, Phantom was flying, looking for Cujo. As he flew past Starfire's room, he felt a strong Starblast that grazed his backside and burned half his cape. "OW!"
He looked at the back of his pants, seeing a hole burned on it before at the smoldering hole where Starfire and Raven was looking, blushes on their faces as they looked at his exposed rear. He quickly covered his backside and flew towards the hole.
"What the spooks are guys doing!?" he exclaimed at them as Starfire chuckled nervously.
"I was just doing the Tamaran tradition of destroying curtains," she said nervously.
"Aliens," Raven said with a sigh.
"What are you doing outside, Phantom?" Robin asked with a raised eyebrow.
"I…I was looking for whatever trashed our living room." Phantom said before turning his lower half invisible. "And now, I'm going to go and grab a new pair of pants."
Phantom flew back to his room as Robin and Raven exited Starfire's room. Once they were gone, Starfire quickly flew to the closet and opened it, only to gasp as she saw a huge hole on the ground, and from the marks, it was chewed.
"Oh no!" she cried before going to Terra's room.
Meanwhile, Phantom put on some pants and cape in his room.
"Good," he said as he took a step, only to feel something underneath. He looked down and saw nothing, but he could smell it. "Aw come on!"
He removed his boots and put on a new pair before cleaning the invisible dog poo and throwing away the boots. He then flew out the room and continued searching for Cujo. If he had stayed longer, he would have seen Cujo coming out from under his bed, chewing a sock.
Terra was walking towards Starfire's room, to see how Silkie was doing. She turned to a corner, and was tackled by Starfire, the two of the, tumbling to the ground.
"Ow…" she said with swirly eyes before being grabbed by Starfire.
"Terra, Silkie is missing!" Starfire exclaimed.
"What!?" Terra exclaimed. "How'd that happen!"
"I hid him in my closet, and he ate the floor!"
"He…ate the floor?" Terra said, thinking she heard wrong. Starfire grabbed Terra and pulled her to her room, opening the closet to reveal the giant hole chewed on the floor. "Star, what exactly happened?"
"I gave Silkie some zorkaberries from my home planet," Starfire explained. "Somehow, he grew very big."
"How did you get those berries, anyway?" Terra asked.
"Interspace delivery service," Starfire answered. "But how will we find Silkie? Should we tell Danny?"
"No!" Terra exclaimed. "If he knows I snuck in a mutated larva, he's gonna be so mad!"
She imagined a Danny Phantom with horns and fiery eyes, laughing evilly and pointing at Terra, who was cleaning the toilet as her punishment.
"We find Silkie and try to fix him without Phantom knowing," Terra said.
"Okay…" Starfire said with a nod. The two then split up to look for Silkie.
Meanwhile, Cyborg was looking through the garage for their mysterious intruder. He was still angry at his sofa getting destroyed. As he checked behind the car, he didn't see the giant figure on top of him. He felt something wet on his head, surprising him.
"Ew…" he said as he looked at the slime on his head before looking up, before shouting.
The shouting got the attention of everyone in the Tower. They quickly rushed to where the shout came from and rushed towards him. They busted through the garage doors and saw Cyborg being eaten by a giant worm.
"Get it off me!" Cyborg shouted as he stomped on the worm that was eating his right leg. It got annoyed by that, so he shook Cyborg around before his leg got ripped off. They watched the worm ate Cyborg's leg before burping, looking satisfied. "Aw come on!"
"Titans!" Phantom shouted as he, Robin, Raven and Beastboy prepared to fight the strange creature. "G-!"
"Wait!" Terra shouted as she and Starfire rushed in front of the worm.
"Do not hurt my bumgorf!" Starfire shouted as Silkie nuzzled his head next to her.
"Starfire?" Phantom said in a surprised tone.
"Terra?" Robin said, just as surprised as Phantom.
"What's a 'bumgorf'?" Raven asked.
"Ha! See, I told you I didn't do it!" Beastboy exclaimed.
Later…
Everyone was in the living room, looking at the giant worm named Silkie, wearing a collar with a heart tag. They all stared at Starfire with deadpanned expressions as she explained how Silkie, who used to be the size of a puppy, became bigger than their living room.
Phantom then turned to Terra, who looked sheepish.
"What? I'm not the one who mutated him," Terra said, defending herself.
"But you were the one who snuck in a mutated worm," Phantom said as Terra chuckled. Suddenly, he felt himself getting lifted up as Silkie was eating his cape. He quickly pulled it free, which was covered in saliva. He then felt Silkie licked him, covering him in slimy saliva. His eye twitched in annoyance. "Sorry Star, but I don't think we can keep a bus-sized worm."
"You got that right!" Cyborg exclaimed, putting on a spare leg that looked like a mannequin's. "He ate my good leg!"
"Please! Please let me keep Silkie!" Starfire pleaded, looking at him with big, teary eyes. Phantom cringed when she looked at him like that. He couldn't tell no if she looked at him with those eyes. And everyone but her knows that.
"W-well…" Phantom said as she looked up with hopeful eyes. But before he could continue, Silkie suddenly threw up something. Phantom's eyes widened when he saw what it was and picked it up. "No…nonononono!"
He suddenly phased down to the ground, confusing everyone. A few seconds later, they heard a loud shout that almost shook the Tower. Phantom flew back up, his expression hidden, but they could feel his anger.
"G…ri…m…" Phantom muttered.
"Danny?" Starfire said, not hearing what he said.
"I SAID GET RID OFF HIM!" Phantom exclaimed, his eyes glowing brightly.
A few minutes later, Starfire was carrying Silkie to an uninhabited island, a sad expression on her face. She found the place and gently placed the worm there. She then walked towards a large boulder and started carving it with her powers.
She wrote it in Tamaran: Please take good care of my little bumgorf. Give him love and plenty of food. Signed by, Kori'ander.
She then looked at Silkie, who was happily eating rocks. She sighed sadly as she petted his large head.
"This is goodbye, my little Silkie," she said sadly before she floated away. She was surprised when Silkie grabbed her foot with his mouth, looking sad. "Please, let go."
Silkie just whimpered and kept Starfire at place. Starfire kept asking Silkie to let go, but he refused. Finally, she fired a weak Starblast, causing Silkie to release her. With teary eyes, Starfire flew away, ignoring her bumgorf's cries for her to comeback.
"Well, well, well," a voice said behind him, causing it to turn and saw Killer Moth, "If it isn't M3-19. I didn't expect you to be here, and to be so big."
Silkie looked afraid as Killer Moth walked towards him, carrying a strange looking gun. With a laugh, he fired, hitting Silkie. He screamed before he covered himself in a purple cocoon. The night air was soon full with evil laughter as the cocoon broke.
In Titan's Tower, Starfire was sitting on the rooftop, a rain cloud on top of her. Her friends were standing behind her, not knowing what to say. They all looked at Phantom with accusatory glares.
With a sigh, he awkwardly walked towards Starfire, rubbing the back of his neck. It was kinda his fault that she's feeling so depressed. But he couldn't help it. The project he was working on for almost a year and the power source was eaten.
"Listen, Starfire…" Phantom said. Before he could say anything, they heard a bark, causing Phantom to freeze. He completely forgot about Cujo. Everyone turned and saw a green puppy walking towards him before sitting on his hind legs, wagging his tail.
"Um…whose dog is this?" Beastboy asked as the dog looked at Phantom.
"Um…this is Cujo," Phantom said, trying to hide the fact that he snuck in a dog after he said they weren't allowed to snuck in pets. He has an image to maintain after all. "An old friend of mine. What are you doing here, Cujo?"
He barked before scratching his neck. The note attached to his collar fell off. It floated to Raven's foot, picking it up and reading it out loud.
"Dear Whelp. This dog is your problem now. Don't send it back. Skin you soon, Skulker," she said before looking at Phantom, who was very nervous inside, then at Cujo.
"So…what do we do with it?" Cyborg asked as Cujo chased his tail.
"Well…we can't just leave it alone," Phantom said. "He might destroy the city. And he's not allowed back in the Ghost Zone."
"So…we keep him here?" Robin said in an unsure voice.
"I guess so," Phantom said, a little relief he hid the fact he took Cujo in.
"Wait, if we let Cujo in, then we get to keep Silkie too!" Terra exclaimed.
"Sure, why not," Phantom said with a shrug.
"Really!" Starfire said, flying above Phantom, looking at him upside down. He yelped at her sudden appearance. "I can get my little bumgorf back?"
"Sure," Phantom said with a small smile. "But first, we need to demutate him. We can't a giant worm in the Tower."
"YAY!" Starfire exclaimed before flying off the Tower. "I'm coming, little Silkie!"
"…She is so capricious," Phantom commented, and they all nodded, except for Beastboy.
"What's capri…caprico…Capricorn?" he said before they followed Starfire.
They flew after her, but stopped when they heard a commotion in town. They looked and saw a giant moth attacking the city, with Killer Moth behind it.
"Woah, where'd he get the big guy?" Beastboy asked as they landed on a building.
"That…that is Silkie!" Starfire exclaimed as she saw the creature's eyes.
"What were in those berries?" Terra asked as she saw the small, cute and harmless larvae she took become a giant monster.
"Go, my child!" Killer Moth exclaimed to Silkie. "Go and destroy the city!"
He jumped when an Ecto-rang and Birdarang hit the ground in front of him. He looked and saw the Titans on the building before jumping down.
"We've been through this, Mothy," Phantom said as he pulled another Ecto-rang. "Now let Silkie go."
"Sorry, but M3-19 is mine!" Killer Moth exclaimed as he whistled, getting Silkie's attention. He flew above Killer Moth, glaring at the Titans. "Destroy them!"
Silkie roared before flying towards the Titans, who looked ready to fight, except for Starfire.
"Wait my friends!" Starfire shouted, causing them to look at her. "Do not hurt him!"
"Then how are we supposed to fight?" Cyborg asked as they dropped their weapons and waited for the mutated moth flying towards.
Taking a deep breath, Starfire flew in front of them, ignoring their calls, and just as Silkie was about to slam in to her, she raised her head.
"Stop, Silkie!" she exclaimed, and the moth stopped, much to everyone's confusion and surprise. Silkie looked at Starfire curiously before she smiled. "Do you remember me? It is me, Starfire."
Silkie suddenly remembered about Starfire, all her hugs and kisses and love. He smiled as he made a weird purring sound.
"What!" Killer Moth exclaimed in shock. "No! Don't listen to her! I created you!"
Silkie looked at Killer Moth in confusion.
"Don't listen to that bad man," Starfire said in a soothing voice. "Now come to mama."
"Uh…Come to daddy, you…er…little killing machine," Killer Moth said, trying to sooth Silkie back to his side.
Silkie looked between Starfire and Killer Moth, not knowing who to go to.
"Come to me, my little bumgorf!"
"Who's daddy's favorite experiment? You are!"
Soon, everything they did was flashing before his eyes. Killer Moth's cruel experiment. Starfire's cuddling. Killer Moth giving him enhancing treatment. Starfire feeding him berries. Killer Moth transforming him into this monster. Starfire blasting him before flying away, ignoring his cries for her to come back.
Soon, he started shaking uncontrollably, confused by the calls of his owners. It couldn't handle it anymore, so it exploded into dark purple goop.
"SILKIE!" Starfire exclaimed in horror.
"No!" Killer Moth exclaimed before growling angrily. His greatest weapon, gone! He grabbed his gun and aimed at the Titans, not caring what would happen. Suddenly, Cujo suddenly appeared and took the gun with his mouth. "Hey! Give that back!"
Cujo just ran to Phantom's side, who grinned as he petted Cujo and grabbed the gun. He melted the gun with his Ghost Ray, causing Killer Moth to shout in anger. He whistled and his two remaining moths flew towards him. He grabbed them and they flew away.
"I will be back, Titans!" he shouted as he flew away.
"…Don't we know where he lives?" Raven commented as they watch the moth-themed villain fly away.
"We'll worry about that later," Terra said before looking at the goop and the crying Starfire.
"Silkie…" she sobbed as she kneeled at the pile. Phantom put a hand on her shoulder, looking at the goop sadly. Everyone looked at the goop with sad expressions, before the top suddenly moved. They watched as something popped out the goop, and it was Silkie, who was back to his same size.
"Silkie!" they shouted happily as he jumped towards Starfire.
"Oh my little bumgorf!" Starfire exclaimed happily as she hugged the larvae. "I am so happy you are safe!"
"Okay, Starfire, you can keep him," Phantom said to the alien. "But don't feet him alien berries."
"Very well," Starfire said with a nod before Silkie jumped off her arms and went to the goop. He smelled the goop before eating it. Blinking, Starfire scooped a small amount before tasting it. "It taste just like zorkaberries!"
The Titans watched as Starfire and Silkie started eating the goop. They all had deadpanned expressions before turning around and walking away.
"Let's go get you a new collar," Phantom commented as he picked up Cujo, who barked, his tail wagging happily.
The Titans walked away as Starfire and Silkie slowly turned the goop into a heart-shaped goop.
Meanwhile, in Wisconsin, Vlad was playing chess with himself as Slade patiently looked at the screen, showing the Ghost Zone.
"When will your drones find the Keep?" Slade asked as Vlad moved the black rook.
"Patience, Slade," Vlad said as he moved his white pawn. "Sooner or later, we will find our piece."
Suddenly, the computers started beeping. Vlad smirked as the screen showed the place they were searching for. A giant, Ghostly Keep with two skulls as door knobs.
"Your move, Little Badger," he said as he put a black knight near the white king.
And voila! We now have two cute mascots in the story. Well, as cute as a mutant worm and a Ghost Dog that can grow six feet tall can be. Well, hope you enjoyed the chapter. Now, the moral of this story, even leaders break the rules they made and try to cover up their mistakes.
Well, review time! Now to answer all of your questions, or reply to your comments.
Nicochan11- Well, glad you guessed right.
gamelover41592- Well, he did get back on the episode The End, where he fought Trigon powered Slade's lava monsters.
Authora97- Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.
SPARTAN-626- Yeah, need to finish this before focusing on the other stories. It is not a good idea to pile up stories. And he can't control it, yet. It's kinda like those anime things where he can't control it until someone trains him. As for Teen Tyrants, that's for the next story.
JP-Ryder- He's the sidekick of Wrath from The Batman series. The episode is called 'The End of the Batman'.
gwencarson126- In order, Thanks. Yeah, it was funny when Beastboy ate the meat, it really happened. As for what he's working on, it'll be important to the two new chapters. For the space episodes, and Malchior, that'll be for next season. Next chapter, be excited for it! As for Vlad, he has something big plan. Scorn, he's not really that impressive in the Batman cartoon, but things change after a while. And yeah, you're thinking too much, Scorn and the Tyrants (sounds like a metal band name) are not related to the Ghost King. For the Ice powers, next season, but he does have the Ghostly Wail. And yeah, there's gonna be a sequel to Phantom Leader II. Also, yeah, read your story. It's good, the only thing I recommend is make the chapters a little longer. Good luck with your stories.
SuperiorBatman1- Yeah, I planned to turn Adonis into the Beast when I thought of the Teen Tyrants. And yeah, Silkie, as well as Cujo, are now the Teen Titans' mascots. And it was Terra, but they still blame BB. He is a prime subject.
Drift219- Well I did say I would focus on this story more, since it's almost over. Glad you liked the chapter. And hope you'll enjoy the rest of it.
SoundVenom- Well, now there's two chapters left. Just relax and sit back.
scheffelman- Excellent. Welp, hope you enjoyed the chapter.
josephguy217- I will, but not for long since there's two chapter's left.
ScarecrowReaper- Yeah, the Teen Tyrants are complete and Silkie and Cujo appeared. As for the ending battle between the two TT, well, I'll try not to be cliché. I mean, all the good group battle endings have already been made.
KuriMaster13- He'll appear, but not right now. And thanks for the compliment.
ShadowArbitor- Actually, there are only two chapters left.
Kaybugg1- Yup. They wanted him dead. It was voted.
Dreams Come True 996- Thanks. As for your two questions. 1, I will continue the all the stories, except for Phantom Dragon Slayer. I'm still having writer's block on that one. 2, Bwuahahahaaaa! Planned fanfics! Hahahahahaaa! By my boisterous laughter, yes, I do have planned fanfics. A lot of them. So much that I kinda wish I have the power to duplicate so I can duplicate myself and this laptop.
CrimsonKnight- Yeah, that's the reason why Adonis is so valuable, as a Beast, not as a skinny, weak guy wearing a knock off version of Cyborg. As for my Danny x Raven story. I actually planned that Danny has Beastboy's powers, except he can turn into supernatural animals. It's like Phantom Leader, where he replaces Robin.
InvaderGaz88- Thanks, as for your question, I do have a story for that. It's called Black Wolf, where Danny, is a normal but brilliant inventor who moved to Gotham with his fiancée, Sam, but she gets killed by them.
KnightReaper- Read my reply to CrimsonKnight. That's my idea for the Danny x Raven story.
PhantomReaper- Yup, this chapter is to relax for a little moment, after all the stick the Titans went through. Now only two chapters remain, so sit back and relax.
Well, there you go! Two more chapters and then we're done! So just hang in there! And hold back your tears! Don't cry, don't cry. Hold your tears for the epilogue.
Next chapter! The key to the Keep, the Skeleton Key! See you later!
