Kchch!
The scene showed Speedy do a one-handed backflip away from the spot where he had been standing. A fresh layer of ice encased the ground where he'd been.
The view shifted to show a wide grassy field with sidewalks making lines through it all around Speedy. Robin ran diagonally across from someone who looked to be holding a gun that fired ice beams. And Bumblebee looked to be fighting with two figures made from ice.
Aqualad and Mas and Menos stood nearby, stuck in cubes of ice.
The view shifted again to show a white-haired woman. She was dressed in a dark blue outfit, and she walked onto the ice she had made. Her hands were coated in blue ice energy.
"What's the matter, is this too cold for ya?" She asked.
Speedy shook his head. "I've had exes who were colder than you," Speedy replied as he pulled his bowstring back.
Twang! Twang! Twang!
Speedy quickly fired three yellow-tipped arrows toward her.
The villainous raised a wall of ice in front of her.
Kch! Kch! Kch!
The arrows hit against it, and the ice melted, revealing Killer Frost again. She was smiling coldly. Pillars of ice formed in her hands. "I'm going to enjoy the heat you create."
Speedy shrugged. "Can't help that I'm one hot guy." He said as he loaded three more arrows in his bow.
The view shifted over to Robin.
He threw three discs through the air.
Kschch!
A beam of ice coated the discs, and they fell harmlessly to the ground in front of the villain. He looked to be dressed for the winter with all the blue and white winter gear he had on. He smiled as he hefted the large bag on his back.
Kschch!
The villain fired his gun again, and Robin jumped back. The ground where he'd been standing was coated in ice.
"Your team isn't looking so hot right now Robin." The villain said before he aimed his gun again.
The view showed Robin running diagonally to the side.
Kschch!
Robin slid under the beam of ice. It hit a tree a few dozen feet away, covering it in ice.
Robin pulled out his Bo-Staff and changed his direction.
Kschch!
Robin slid under another ice beam. He extended his Bo-Staff as he did so.
"Yahhh!" Robin yelled as he charged forward.
Kschch!
A beam of ice hit the ground first, and then the latter end of it hit Robin's lower legs. He was forced to a stop and looked down in surprise at his frozen legs.
The villain laughed and raised his gun up higher. Robin started to beat at the ice on his legs with his Bo-Staff. "It was a good fight, but me and my friends will be going now-" The villain was saying.
Crrrrrr!
The villain looked to the side. "Huh-" He started to say.
Ksch!
A bright green starbolt slammed into his side, launching him away onto some ice he had made earlier. Robin broke his legs free with his Bo-Staff and looked to the side.
Ksssccchhh!
The view showed the T-Car slide to a stop on the grass. Starfire's window was rolled down, and her eyes blazed green with energy. She along with the other Titans jumped out.
"Yo, who's ready to kick some butt!?" Cyborg's sonic cannon appeared where his right hand had been.
Robin smiled, and he turned back to the villain. He was getting back up off the ground. "Was that hot enough for you Mr. Freeze?" Robin asked as he twirled his staff.
Raven and Cyborg appeared at his sides. The view behind them showed the other Titans split towards the other two villains.
The villain known as Mr. Freeze growled frustratingly. "I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I don't have any more time to fight with teenagers today!" He yelled.
Kschch!
He quickly turned and fired an ice beam at the ground in front of him. Then started to skate off on the ice he created toward the buildings of the city.
"Stop him!" Robin yelled.
Wham!
But at that moment, Bumblebee went flying into Cyborg. Robin and Raven both stopped in surprise.
The view showed the two ice men that Bumblebee had been fighting running off in another direction. Adam and Beast Boy tried to follow and slipped on patches of ice on the ground. The ice men easily got away, with bags of money on their backs.
Robin looked back in front of him. The view showed a line of ice disappearing into the city buildings. Mr. Freeze had already disappeared.
"What the-" Robin started to say.
Wham!
The view showed Starfire slamming into Robin, sending them both to the ground. Raven blinked in surprise.
The view then showed Killer Frost also sliding away into the streets of Jump City. She laughed as Speedy fired more arrows at her retreating figure. She was already out of range. After another couple of seconds, she disappeared from view.
The view showed Starfire, who quickly got up off of Robin. "Robin! I… um… uh..." Starfire for once seemed to be at a loss for words.
Raven, Adam, and Beast Boy appeared beside her. All of them portrayed different shades of nervousness.
"That... could have gone better, dudes." Beast Boy said nervously.
"And I felt so ready to save the day too," Adam said in disappointment.
Robin got up off the ground and brushed off some flecks of ice from his uniform. He then sniffed and grimaced tightly at the stench coming off his teammates.
"You know Titans, this is just one example of what can happen when you miss training as a team for a few weeks." He remarked to them.
The four of them hung their heads. "Yes..." All of them said at once.
...
Robin looked stern for a moment more… and then he started to chuckle. The team looked up in surprise.
"To be honest though, I'm just glad to see you guys are doing better." He said with a smile on his face.
The other Titans relaxed. Robin smiled at them for a moment more.
"Yo, I could use a little help deicing fish brains over here!" Bumblebee's voice called out.
The view showed Bumblebee and Speedy next to the iced Aqualad. Who's head was now free. Speedy was working at his ice prison with a hammer and chisel.
"I d-don't w-w-want to be fro-z-z-zen s-seafood. I-I don't w-want t-t-to be f-fro-z-zen sea-f-food." Aqualad was saying through chattering teeth.
"You'd probably taste nasty anyways, to be honest," Speedy murmured.
Another chisel and hammer appeared in Bumblebee's hands. She glared towards the Titans.
"Yo you heard the girl, let's get helping!" Cyborg ordered. Another hammer and chisel appeared in his hands.
The scene faded out to black.
The view showed Jump City from up above. The sun was setting, casting a beautiful evening hue over the bay in front of the city.
The scene changed.
"T-Tengo M-Muy Fr-Í-Ío..." Mas murmured through chattering teeth. He was shaking next to Menos under a wool blanket.
"S-S-SÍ..." Menos murmured back through chattering teeth.
The view expanded, showing Adam next to them. He looked like he couldn't understand what they were saying.
The view then showed Robin. He stood in front of the T-Car. "Alright team, I'm going to give you the rundown." He said.
The view showed the other Titans. They immediately assembled close together around him.
Robin nodded his head. "We have Killer Frost, Mr. Freeze, and Icicle Sr. and Jr. to capture. And they seem to have divided themselves for now." He said as he set a device on the hood of the T-Car.
The device opened up, and a holographic view of the city appeared. Four separate blinking dots appeared on it in different parts of the city. An individual picture of the villains appeared next to each dot.
"Raven, you and Mas, and Menos will take down Icicle Jr." He said, pointing at a red dot near a skate park on the map. He then moved his finger.
"Cyborg, you and Adam, and Bumblebee will be bringing in Icicle Sr." He said, pointing at a red dot in the middle of downtown. He moved his finger again.
"Beast Boy, you and Speedy and Aqualad will take down Killer Frost." He said, pointing to the red dot near a power plant.
He then moved his finger to the last one. "And Starfire and I will take on Mr. Freeze." Robin finished, as he pointed at a red dot moving toward the outskirts of the city.
He looked back to all the Titans. "Any questions?" He asked.
"Are... are you sure we're ready to help after what happened earlier?" Adam asked nervously.
"If I didn't think you could help, I wouldn't be asking for it," Robin answered seriously.
The eyes of his fellow teammates went wide, and then, they began to grin widely.
Beast Boy cracked his knuckles. "Dude, let's just go and kick some ice butt already!"
"What the green bean said!" Cyborg cheered happily.
Robin smirked as he looked his teammates over. He could tell they were more than ready for what was going to happen next.
"Titans, go!" He ordered.
The scene showed an abandoned-looking skate park. It was covered in graffiti, and the railings on the different ramps looked all but rusted away.
An ice figure ran into the skate park. He had a large bag with a $ symbol on his back.
When he was in the middle of the skate park, he finally stopped and took some deep breaths.
"Wow, there has to be at least a couple hundred grand in here if it's so freaking heavy!" Icicle Jr. exclaimed to himself.
Whump!
He dropped the bag in front of him and looked around himself. "I guess it can't hurt if I take the time now to count my muila." He said while rubbing his hands greedily together. "After all, I worked so hard to get it."
He bent down to open the bag.
Zip!
The heavy bag of money disappeared.
Icicle Jr. backed away in surprise. "Wait, what just-" He was saying.
Zip! Pow!
The view showed Icicle Jr. fly through the air, and crash into the side of a ramp. His eyes were closed, and he rubbed the back of his head. He opened his eyes.
The view showed a dark tentacled Raven. Floating ominously up in the air.
"Perdition called… they want their money back." She dryly said.
A dark tentacle darted out and picked up Icicle Jr. around his chest. His eyes boggled in fear.
"Pay up," Raven ordered in a deep voice. Her eyes glowed bright red for a few seconds.
...
"Eh, de, her, dum, uh..." Icicle Jr. blabbered for a second, and then his eyes rolled up into the back of his head.
Whump!
The dark tentacle holding him up disappeared. The villain fell unconscious to the ground.
Raven lightly landed on the ground. She was smirking. Mas and Menos appeared in the view behind her with handcuffs.
"Too easy." She said.
The two speedsters were shivering again, but it wasn't because of the cold from earlier.
"D-Da miedo." They said at the same time.
They made a mental note to not get on Raven's bad side in the future.
The next scene showed a dark alleyway in the middle of downtown. There was a dumpster partway down, and not much else.
The view then showed a now normal-looking man with white hair running into the alleyway. He was hefting a large bag with a $ on his back.
Icicle Sr. stopped by the dumpster to take a breather. "I'm getting too old to be a villain." He muttered to himself.
He opened the bag up, and the view showed a lot of green $'s inside. Icicle Sr. smirked to himself. "This, however, might be what I need for an early retirement."
"Not if we have anything to say about it!"
He looked over his shoulder. The view showed Bumblebee come down from the air.
Cyborg and Adam rounded the corners of the alleyway.
"You darn teens." Icicle Sr. said angrily. He turned to run ahead, but the view showed a dead-end brick wall.
"Sorry bro. Maybe next time you'll look ahead before you choose an alleyway to rest in." Cyborg said as he raised his sonic cannon. Bumblebee held up her two stingers, and Adam held up a loaded bow.
Icicle Sr. growled. His composition changed, and he became covered in ice. "Do you really think that'll be enough to take me down!?" He yelled as he ran forward.
Ksch! Ksss! Pow!
A sonic cannon, a stream of electricity, and a blunted arrow slammed into Icicle Sr. He was launched back…
Wham!
He slammed into the brick wall. He groaned once, and then remained still. The ice melted off his skin just as quickly as it had appeared.
The view showed Adam and Cyborg. They faced each other, and the two of them high-fived.
"Booyah!" Both of them said at the same time.
Cyborg then put an arm over Adam's shoulder and they started to laugh.
Bumblebee was shown behind them, and she rolled her eyes. "Of course, I don't get no credit for helping with the takedown." She muttered to herself.
She moved to cuff the villain while the other two Titans continued their celebrations.
The next scene showed a power plant on the edge of the city. Plumes of smoke were coming out the top of it.
The view changed, showing the inside near the burning furnace.
"Ahhhh, now this tastes good."
Killer Frost was standing close to the opening of the furnace. A forlorn $ bag lay to the side near an open door.
Killer Frost let out a sigh of relief. "Oh, I needed this. There are no darn fire heroes to be found these days when you need them."
...
After a few seconds, she turned to the doorway. Her eyes widened in surprise.
The bag of money was in Aqualad's hands. He had a smirk on his face. "I'm sorry, is this yours?" He asked.
Killer Frost ran forward. "Give that back you miserable piece of sushi!" She yelled. Blue ice was already covering her hands, despite standing next to a fiery hot furnace.
Boom!
An arrow hit the ground underneath Killer Frost and exploded. Killer Frost tripped over herself onto the ground. She groaned as she got on her knees.
KaThump! KaThump! KaThump!
A green rhino appeared charging in her vision. Her eyes widened in shock.
Pow!
Killer Frost was sent flying to the side. She hit the wall of the power plant and slid down to the ground. Her head lolled forward, and she remained unconscious.
The green rhino morphed back into Beast Boy. He was grinning widely. An anime drum set appeared around him.
"I bet you dudes could say that she just got… knocked cold."
Badum Crash!
Beast Boy started to laugh at his pun.
The view showed Speedy and Aqualad.
They both groaned to themselves as they facepalmed simultaneously.
The next scene showed an Interstate on the outside of the city. It was full of different kinds of cars, stuck in the middle of rush hour traffic.
The view changed, showing the inside of a black car. Mr. Freeze sat at the wheel with his large bag of $ in the passenger seat next to him.
He was tapping on the wheel impatiently.
"Let's go now… trying to make a getaway here." He muttered to himself.
Beep!
He honked his car horn at the guy in front of him. An angry hand came out the front window, along with a stream of garbled words that didn't sound nice.
Mr. Freeze grumbled to himself.
"Maybe all he needs is a wave of ice to chill out." He said as he pulled his ice gun out.
He rolled down his window and aimed at the car in front of him.
Thud!
Starfire slammed down on the edge of the hood. Making Mr. Freeze's car slam to a stop. Mr. Freeze fell back in his seat.
"Sorry, did I do the surprising of you?" Starfire asked as she lifted his car into the air.
"Why you-" Mr. Freeze started to say.
Starfire threw the car off the Interstate.
Crash! Khhhhh!
The car slammed into a pillar off the road, and the airbags deployed on impact. The rest of the cars on the Interstate stopped their already slow speeds to stare in surprise at the scene.
After a moment, Mr. Freeze's door opened, and he crawled out of the car. He groaned and laid back on the ground.
The view showed Robin driving up in his R-Cycle, and he took off his helmet in surprise.
Starfire approached.
"Star, what the heck-" Robin started to say.
Starfire gripped him by his shoulders. "I never got to say I love you too Richard," Starfire said.
Mmph!
Starfire then kissed him.
Robin, who was absolutely shocked at first, decided to just go with it. He looked like the happiest boy in the world.
Even if his girlfriend did stink quite a bit right now for some reason…
"Ugh..."
The two stopped kissing at the groan and turned. Mr. Freeze was crawling away from the wreck.
"Stupid… teens… and their… stupid… powers..." Mr. Freeze was saying.
Robin looked back to Starfire. "How about we finish dealing with him now?" He suggested.
Starfire almost looked a little down. When Robin took her hand. "And... I'd really love to finish this conversation later." He said. Before he let go and started to walk over to Mr. Freeze.
A smile came onto Starfire's face, and she clapped her hands joyfully as her body levitated higher into the air. "I will do the looking of the forward to it!" She squealed.
The view showed a set of metal doors.
The left door opened, and a handcuffed Mr. Freeze was thrown through the opening.
He wiggled around on the metal flooring.
The view then showed Icicle Jr. and Sr. in seats strapped to the metal walls. They were struggling in their handcuffs. Killer Frost was out cold and handcuffed to her seat.
Mr. Freeze had landed in the middle of them.
The view then showed Robin appear in the opening. He was smirking as he put his hand on the open door of the police van.
"Have an ice time in prison." He told them.
The ice villains groaned before Robin slammed the door shut.
The view faded to black once again…
The scene showed the T-Tower. With the bay glistening all around it in the morning sky.
The view changed to the roof.
"Thanks again for all your help the past couple of weeks," Robin said.
The view showed Bumblebee waving her hand. "It was no problem, leader," She said happily.
Behind her, Speedy and Aqualad were squeezing all the luggage into their T-Ship. "I… don't… remember… there… being… this… much," Speedy said through heavy grunts.
"It's… your… fault… for… packing… so… much… useless…" Aqualad couldn't continue. He was going to die if he couldn't get all the suitcases full of Speedy's crappy hair gel to squeeze into the compartment.
"Seriously, if you hadn't been here, who knows what we could have done," Robin said again in appreciation to Bumblebee.
Thunk!
Speedy and Aqualad sighed in relief. All the luggage was inside the ship now.
They and the rest of Bumblebee's teammates appeared behind her, nodding their heads. "It was no problem. We enjoyed seeing the city again." Bumblebee said.
"Even if I didn't get to test out the newbie's archer skills..." Speedy crossed his arms with a frown.
"Oh, I'm nowhere near as good as you," Adam commented, holding his hands together behind his back while shuffling on his feet nervously.
Had Robin really told him to become better than Speedy? The little he'd seen of him in action proved how remarkable of a marksman he actually was.
Adam could barely shoot one arrow out of his bow accurately! Much less, three!
Cyborg suddenly appeared in the view and hugged all of them close to him. "Wahhh! Do you all have to leave so soon!?" He asked with large anime tears falling down his face.
"Ah, C-Cyborg." Aqualad groaned in pain. Why was he in the middle of everyone getting squished?!
"Chillax Sparky. You'll see us again soon." Bumblebee said as she pushed Cyborg off them all back next to Robin and the rest of his team. The formerly depressed Titans were all smiling widely.
"Good luck dudes." Beast Boy said.
"Give us a call anytime," Adam added.
Robin chuckled. "And have a safe trip back." He said.
Bumblebee nodded her head. "You all stay safe too." She said before she walked over to the blue T-Ship on the roof. Aqualad, Speedy, and Mas and Menos followed behind her.
Kschhhhhh!
The view then showed the engines turn on, and the blue T-Ship went up into the air. It turned towards the mountains in the east and then took off into the light of the rising sun.
...
The view showed Robin, who was still standing in his spot. He smiled as he rubbed a hand through his hair. "We really have some great friends all around the world." He said to himself.
…
As he contemplated to himself, the view shifted, showing the Titans sneaking away on the tips of their toes. They were almost to the roof door now. Beast Boy reached his hand out to steady himself on the open door.
Slam!
Robin, all decked out in a drill sergeant's uniform, slammed the door shut. The Titans fell back on the ground, eyes wide as saucers.
"Oh no, you don't! You maggots have missed too many training exercises the last couple of weeks to get off that easy!" Robin yelled down at them.
Yankee Doodle's tune started to play in the background once again.
"Aw, man! Don't include me on this too!" Cyborg whined.
"Robin's boot camp is beginning now!" Robin yelled in a sergeant's tone to them.
The Titans groaned. "Can't we at least have breakfast first man?" Adam complained.
"Yeah, show a dude some mercy!" Beast Boy also complained.
"I want to take a shower," Raven commented dryly.
Robin anime grabbed them all and started to drag them behind him. "There'll be no mercy for you maggots until each of you beat ten course records!" He yelled.
"Nooooooooooo!" The Titans all yelled at the same time.
Even as Robin began dragging the Titans off behind him, the scene slowly faded, showing the Blue T-Ship flying high up in the sky. The background music also faded away.
It was a clear day, with the sun in the middle of the sky up above.
"No, we will not be getting seafood!" Aqualad yelled angrily over the comm.
"Why not! You always say no to stopping for seafood!" Speedy yelled back angrily through his headset.
"That's because some of what they serve could have been my friends!" Aqualad retorted.
"We're flying over the Midwest! I doubt any of your 'friends' swam up the Mississippi River just so I could eat them." Speedy said, lifting his hands up to make air quotes as he spoke.
"It could happen!" Aqualad angrily countered.
Speedy shrugged. "Well, even if they were your friends, they're already dead and cooked. So you might as well just eat them while they taste good."
"You're disgusting!" Aqualad yelled.
"And you're a fish hugger!" Speedy yelled back.
"Metaaaaa!" Mas cheered in his seat. The view showed a football game on the screen in front of him. A goal had just been made by a player in an orange jersey.
"Su equipo enganó!" Menos yelled angrily. He had the same game up on his screen. And he was shaking his fist at it.
"No. Su equip enganó!" Mas yelled back. Shaking his fist at Menos from his pod.
"Arrow fetish lover!" Aqualad yelled.
"Fish hugger!" Speedy yelled.
"Hair gel Overdoser!"
"Don't you dare bring my hair gel into this!"
Mas and Menos continued yelling in Spanish at each other. Their words were so fast that no one could understand what they were saying even if they were fluent in Spanish.
The view showed Bumblebee sitting in her seat. She was gripping the wheel in front of her, and her face was red with anger.
Tweeeee!
Steam came bursting out of her ears.
Bam!
She slammed a fist on a button, and the sounds from the other pods cut off. She sighed in relief. "There. Much better." She said to herself.
She then pressed another button.
"Yo, how are things going at the Tower Hot Spot?" She asked her staticy screen. After a moment, Hot Spot appeared on it.
"They're going good. The city's been really quiet the last couple of weeks. So we're just hanging for now." Hot Spot responded.
"Is the Tower still in one piece?" Bumblebee asked.
"Gnarrk! Don't eat their toaster! We're only staying here until our Tower gets finished!" A voice sounded in the background.
"Gnarrk!" A caveman-like voice responded in complaint.
Hot Spot nodded his head. "Yeah, things are still pretty good here. Although it sounds like you'll need a new toaster." He said in the same tone of voice.
Bumblebee sighed in relief. "At least something went right today." She said back.
The view expanded out, showing the other Titans arguing with each other in their pods. The T-Ship continued to move across the sky…
…
The view changed, showing the interior of the T-Ship. The Titan's luggage was all packed together in tight rows.
And in the middle of it all, rested a small, white cube.
Beep!
The cube let out a beep, and then a light blinked red on it. A white watery substance leaked out from the cube, which spread out over the suitcases. After a few seconds, it solidified and then moved around the cube.
"Mmmrrrr!" The small, expanding Substance screeched.
It dove into the metal plating of the T-Ship and disappeared from view.
The scene faded to black…

End of Season Six, Episode Nine: Guilt Freeze
Author's Notes:
Alright, and that's the end of Episode Nine. Do know I can hardly speak any Spanish whatsoever, so what's said in this chapter is a result of me using DeepL to try and translate English into Spanish. If you do speak Spanish and the words sound wrong, I'm sorry.
The next Episode is going to be more of a filler Episode. I still enjoyed it heavily though, for multiple reasons. I'll post it as soon as possible.
Till Next Time
