Alright, we're on the Thirteenth Episode. I hope you're all ready to have a good time because I know I am!
Summary: A distress call comes in the middle of the night, and the Titans arrive at their allies in the North too late to help. However, they have a chance to learn who kidnapped their friends... and learn too late that the plans of Dimension X are already swinging into motion.
Soon, none of the Heroes will be able to stand up against them on their own.
The view showed the dark T-Tower in the middle of the bay.
Crack! Boom!
A fierce lightning and rainstorm was going on outside the Tower. The waves of the sea slapped against the sides of the island. A couple of them even touched the bottom of the large T-Tower. Heavy dark clouds filled the skies up above. Only occasionally lit up by large streaks of lightning that struck the sea.
The view moved inside.
Boom!
A random hallway was lit up by a crack of lightning. No one was in the hallway.
The scene changed.
Boom!
The lightning lit up a hallway with a set of sliding doors. Again, no one was in sight.
The scene changed.
Boom!
Lightning lit up the inside of a room. Starfire was curled up sound asleep in her bed. Silkie squirmed around in her arms each time lightning appeared.
The scene changed.
Boom!
Lightning lit up the inside of Raven's room. She was sound asleep in her bed. However, a very frightened-looking green cat was cowering on the pillow beside her. The poor thing didn't look like it would ever fall asleep.
The scene changed.
Boom!
Lightning lit up Adam's room. He groaned to himself and flipped over in his bed. He put a pillow over his ears to try and block out the loud booms.
The scene changed once more.
Boom!
Lightning lit up Cyborg's charging room. He was sound asleep as his body laid charging on his table/bed.
The scene changed.
Boom!
Robin's room was lit up. He was next to the window. Calmly observing the gathering storm outside of the T-Tower. The brief lightning brought his face in stark contrast in the view.
The scene changed.
Boom!
The view showed the empty Common Room. The view then focused on the control console of the room.
Boom!
Lightning again lit it up briefly, before it faded back into darkness.
Beep.
A random light on the Control Console blinked on.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
That wasn't the sound of lightning.
That was the sound of background explosions.
"This is Kole of Titan's North calling in! We have an emergency here!" Kole's voice shouted out of the console.
"Gnnark!" A loud caveman-like voice sounded in the background.
BOOM!
A lightning bolt and an explosion on the other end of the transmission intertwined.
Kththth! There was some static. "The Tower is under- Kththth! - I repeat. We're being overrun by-"
Kththth!
The transmission cut into static again for a moment.
Boom!
Another lightning bolt lit up the area. "Kthth- Our powers won't take them down! We need assistance! I repeat, we need assist-"
"Kole! Watch out!" Red Star's commanding voice sounded in the background.
BOOM!
A large explosion happened on the other end.
Kththththththth…
The transmission cut out to static completely.
Boom!
The storm continued on outside. As the control console kept up the staticy signal with Titan's North.
The scene faded to black…
(Music Starts)…

When there's trouble you know who to call!…

Teen Titans!
(Music Ends)…
The view showed a nice, semi-cloudy sky down below. With patches showing snow-capped mountains not far above the cloud layer. A great-looking blue sky shone up above…
Phhhmmmm…
The Titan's T-Ship cruised along just above the cloud layer.
'Coming of Dimension X' appeared along the bottom of the view for a few seconds in white bold letters. Then the letters faded away slowly as the view shifted to a close-up of the Titan's ship.
Robin was in the front pod. Raven and Beast Boy were in the side pods. Starfire was in the middle pod, and Cyborg was in the back pod. A newly installed tail pod held Adam inside.
The view moved into the T-Ship from pod to pod. "So, how long ago did this call for help come in again dude?" Beast Boy asked.
"The logs said that the call came in last night in the middle of that storm," Cyborg replied over his headset.
"Is that why we weren't notified about it until this morning?" Adam asked tiredly.
"Probably," Raven replied blandly.
The view showed a worried Starfire. "Oh, I do the hope that our friends are the okay," Starfire said.
"I tried calling Herald to check in on them ahead of us. But he still hasn't responded to my message." Robin said impatiently in his seat.
"He's probably in another dimension where the signal wouldn't reach," Raven said.
"Maybe..." Robin said.
…
The Titans were quiet for a moment. "Our friends are going to be the okay, right?" Starfire asked again.
"That call sounded pretty serious, who really knows at this point," Beast Boy said sadly.
...
The view changed, showing the T-Ship coming over the other side of a mountain.
Gasp!
The Titans all gasped in their seats.
"Holy fetch..." Adam said in disbelief for them all.
The view showed down below. The T-Tower was still in its recognizable shape nestled in the valley between the mountains. But most of its windows were broken, and smoke was coming up from parts of it. Its automatic defense systems which Cyborg had so lovingly designed were in ruins.
It looked like it had just been through a battle… and lost…
The Titans all looked at each other from their pods. "Something tells me they're not okay," Raven said seriously.
The view showed the T-Ship continue on, and descend down towards the wrecked Titans North Tower down below…
...
Woomf!
…
Woomf!
…
Woomf- Crash!
The sliding doors fell down to the ground. The view showed Robin with his leg still up. He put it back down, and the other Titans appeared behind him.
The scene before them showed debris littering the floor all around. There was an upturned table, a couch that was in three different pieces, a TV screen fractured beyond compare, and too many other things to list.
The Titans walked into the dark and destroyed Common Room of the Titan's North Tower. "Dudes, it's like we're walking into the middle of a warzone." Beast Boy commented.
"A war that somebody lost, man," Cyborg said back, as he shined his shoulder light on a wire hanging from the ceiling. He wandered towards one of the far corners of the room. Beast Boy trailed behind him.
Starfire floated over to the remains of the kitchen with Raven following her. It was smaller than the one in the other T-Tower. A fist, shining with a bright green starbolt on it, lit up the surrounding area.
"Whoa," Raven said in slight surprise.
"I do not think that our friends did the staying of here." Starfire agreed, as her green energy lit up all kinds of scorch marks on the cabinetry around her.
Adam poked the upturned table a little ways away.
Krrrrrrrr!
The table fell over and then fell through the floor.
Whump!
It landed with a loud noise down below. The view showed Adam's face appearing over the hole.
"I definitely wouldn't want to stay here. Ugh, I'm so glad I can glide." He said to himself as he shuddered.
The view showed him walking away from the hole, watching the ground to make sure he didn't accidentally fall through.
Robin walked up to the Control Console in the middle of the Titan's North Common Room. Several large blast marks were on the floor all around. He started to press some buttons on it.
"Are you sure that'll still be working-" Beast Boy asked as he came up behind Robin.
Beep.
The control console beeped, and then it turned on. Robin looked up with a smirk on his face. "Cyborg designed these to have an internal power source that would last at least 48 hours. Just for situations like this." Robin said as he began to fiddle around with it.
"Heh, my genius truly knows no bounds." Cyborg crossed his arms as he smiled proudly.
"If only the same could be said for his video game skills." Beast Boy and Adam snickered in the background as they high-fived each other.
"Yo, I heard that!" Cyborg turned around to yell at them.
The two heroes were now dressed like angels, holding their clasped hands in front of them. "We have no idea what you're talking about."
"Don't play innocent with me short stacks!"
Robin fiddled with the console as the argument continued in the background. Starfire and Raven walked up behind him as this happened.
After a couple of seconds, the console flashed a hologram of the T-Tower above it. It looked as realistic as it did on the outside. It even showed all the different areas of the Tower where damage had been sustained… which was about 80% of the whole structure.
As an added bonus, it even showed the T-Ship parked on top of the T-Tower and its condition. Which thanks to Cyborg's almost worshipful maintenance, was just shy of perfection.
Robin pressed a few more buttons before he began to smile in relief. "Ah, there we go."
The argument behind him stopped, and the other three Titans appeared behind him. Staring at the hologram curiously.
"Computer, scan for intruders," Robin said to it.
A virtual scan of the Tower was shown floor by floor on the hologram. Traveling from bottom to top.
Beep!
"No intruders detected." The Control Console spoke in a futuristic feminine voice.
"Coooolllll," Adam said.
"Computer, do a scan for the members of Titan's North." Robin then said.
Again, a virtual scan of the Tower was shown going floor to floor on the hologram.
...
Beep!
This time, it showed a roster of the members of Titan's North, which included Argent, Flamebird, Gnarrk, Kole, Mirage, and Red Star.
All of them were shown to be missing from the Tower.
...
Robin's smile dropped into a frown. "All six of them are missing?"
"Who are Flamebird and Mirage? I don't remember recruiting them before." Beast Boy spoke up confusedly.
"When I first did the organizing of this Tower, they appeared to help us do the defeating of the villain Phobia," Starfire answered. "They did the joining soon after."
Robin began to fiddle around with the controls again as he frowned. He wasn't all that familiar with Mirage, but Flamebird, otherwise known as Bette Kane, was a member of the Bat Family. He definitely knew who she was and what she was capable of.
The view showed Cyborg looking around. He was looking around at all the darkness in the room that they still hadn't touched. "Are you sure man? I'm starting to get the heeby jeebies from this place." Cyborg responded.
Raven and Starfire looked around as well. "Yeah… I'm not sure we should stick around longer than we have to," Raven said blandly.
Robin pulled up a series of files on the console. They were shown in a hologram view up above it. "Not until we figure out who took our friends," Robin replied firmly. "If they're not here, then they must be somewhere."
The others looked at each other. "I guess we came here for a reason." Beast Boy replied unsurely.
Robin finally finished scrolling to the bottom of the files, and then opened up the last one. Immediately, it showed security camera footage of the last little bit of the Common Room.
Boom!
A loud explosion sounded on the screen. It wasn't in the room though. Gnnark was near the windows in the room, throwing stuff down at an unseen enemy.
Thmmm.
The doors slid open, and a disheveled-looking Kole ran in. She had scorch marks on her uniform and a look of shock on her face.
"Gnnark! Keep an eye out while I call for help!" She ordered her caveman friend as she ran for the Control Console.
"Gnnark!" Gnnark replied. He continued throwing projectiles down. From the toaster to shards of broken windows.
Kole pressed the large yellow T on the Control Console.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three more explosions sounded simultaneous from down below.
"This is Kole of Titan's North calling in! We have an emergency here!" Kole shouted into the mike.
"Gnnark!"
Kole looked up.
BOOM!
A large explosion slammed into Gnnark. Sending him flying back into the wall.
He didn't get back up.
"Gnnark!" Kole screamed in his direction. She quickly turned back to the mike.
"The Tower is under attack. I repeat. We're being overrun by these metal lookalikes of different heroes!" Kole yelled fearfully.
...
The Titans in real life looked at each other. "Metal… lookalikes?" Beast Boy asked.
"Or… in other words, metal clones," Adam said, this time with fear on his face.
The Titans looked back at the footage again.
"Argent's already been taken and Flamebird and Mirage are unaccounted for! Red Star is trying to hold them all back! But I'm not sure how much longer we can hold this Tower! We need assistance! I repeat, we need assist-"
Red Star appeared flying in through one of the windows.
"Kole! Watch out!" Red Star yelled pointing behind Kole.
Kole turned around. The camera showed a weird, metallic version of Gnnark running toward her.
"Ahhhhhh!" Kole screamed.
BOOM!
The security footage cut out.
…
The Titans stared down in shock at the Control Console. "What the fetch?!" Adam asked.
Cyborg looked wide-eyed. "Yo, were my eyes playing tricks on me there? Or was that a-" Cyborg started to ask.
Thump.
The Titans all looked up. A figure fell from the ceiling onto the floor in the darkness. He had a cloak swirling around him, and he was holding what looked like the outline of a trumpet in one of his hands.
"Wait, that's Herald?" Beast Boy said.
"Friend Herald? Is that you?" Starfire asked the dark figure.
Cyborg moved his shoulder, so the light would fall on the approaching figure in the darkness…
Robin immediately pulled his Bo-Staff out and extended it. "That isn't Herald," Robin said darkly. The others got into battle positions.
The view showed the smirking figure that looked like Herald approaching. His skin and cloak were normal… but the patches of white metal on his arms and face betrayed him almost instantly.
"My, you Earthlings do learn quick." The clone of Herald said sarcastically. Three portals opened in the air above him.
Thump. Thump. Thump!
Two smaller figures and one large figure landed around Herald. They were replicas of Kole, Red Star, and Gnnark. Their appearance was like Herald's. Mainly normal, with patches of metal skin.
"But not quickly enough." Herald finished.
The clone of Kole smirked widely. "I'm going to enjoy this." She said.
Red Star put a fist to his palm. "Immensely." He added.
The scene looked to be spicing up…
...
Robin held his Bo-Staff in one hand and pulled a smoke grenade from his utility belt. "Titans, run!" Robin ordered before he threw the smoke grenade to the floor.
Sssssss!
Smoke immediately filled their area. Covering them from the view.
Red Star flew forward quickly and swung his fist through the smoke in a wide arc.
Whoosh!
His fist connected with nothing but smoke. After a couple more seconds, the smoke dissipated from view.
The Titans were long gone.
Herald raised his hand to point. "After them!" He ordered.
"On it X1!" Gnnark spoke in a voice very much unlike the actual Gnnark.
He and the other two clones charged toward the doors of the room.
