Teen Titans Beyond

Note: I post this chapter now in honor of Shark Week. I also introduce a new villain from DC who I think should've appeared in either this show or the DCAU. I also read about an old Teen Titans comic online with a story that I based this chapter off of.

Feeding Frenzy

It was a dark and stormy night in Jump City and all was eerily quiet at the prison, which housed some of the most dangerous criminals in the city. The prison was located in the bay, a short distance from the waterfront and only accessible via a bridge, at least for normal people. Lightning flashed as something swam in the bay toward the prison as the dorsal fin of a shark could be seen at the surface of the water. The dorsal fin moved through the water toward the prison and stopped when it came to the shore of the little concrete island. Suddenly a mysterious creature jumped out of the water and landed on the island and ran to the outer wall of the prison. The mysterious figure immediately started smashing its fist against the wall repeatedly, causing an alarm to sound. All of the guards hurried to the location while convicts in their cells hurried to the doors to see what was going on.

While the guards ran one of them yelled, "Someone's trying to break through the outer wall!"

Over a speaker someone yelled, "All men, Code Red! Proceed to Perimeter Wall C now!"

Many guards hurried to the wall and arrived just in time as a huge hole was smashed through the wall, and a creature entered the prison. The guards stared in shock as they saw an eight-foot-tall humanoid shark looking back at all of them with his big black eyes. The shark had a muscular body with broad shoulders, as well as big hands and feet with four webbed fingers and three webbed toes that had claws on the ends. He had dark grey skin on the top/back of his body with a whiter underbelly underneath like a great white shark. He had a large shark dorsal fin on his back and a shark tail, and his head looked exactly like that of a shark. He also had smaller shark fins on his elbows and knees, and his mouth was full of rows of razor-sharp teeth. He also wore black pants that went down toward his knees, he had black wristbands over his forearms, and he had black X-shaped vest over his torso.

One of the guards aimed his weapon at the shark creature as he said, "It's a shark!"

The shark looked at them with an evil expression as it said, "That's King Shark! Now get out of my way before I eat you for dinner."

The guards all aimed their weapons at him as one of them yelled, "Open fire!"

They fired blue lasers at King Shark but their weapons didn't have much effect on him as he ran at them and swung his fists at them, knocking them away. He swung his tail at one and knocked him away before slashing his claws and damaging the armor of two more guards. He knocked one guard to the floor and then bit his gun in two before spitting it out and roaring ferociously.

More guards came running as one of them yelled, "Stop him!"

They all fired their weapons and a couple of them managed to hit King Shark but he hardly showed any pain as he turned at them and roared. He jumped high in the air and slammed his feet on the ground, forming a crater and sending chunks of concrete in the air. He knocked several guards on their backs and destroyed the weapons belonging to several other guards as he charged and knocked every single on out of his way. King Shark then went crashing through a wall as he entered a cell block and looked around to see prisoners everywhere looking at him.

He chuckled evilly as he said, "Boys, this is your lucky day."

The convicts backed away from their cell doors when King Shark came and bit off some of the bars, leaving a huge hole for the inmates to walk out. He then ran to another cell and ripped off the door with his bare hands and threw it aside before moving onto the rest. He went to dozens of cells and freed all the criminals inside them as he ripped the doors and bars off with his teeth, strength, and claws. Some guards came and tried to stop them but King Shark made short work of them as he knocked them down with his fists, swung his tail at two, and bit a chunk out of one's weapon. All of the inmates King Shark freed happily raised their fists and cheered as they watched him take down the guards. Once King Shark was done he motioned for the prisoners to follow him as he took off running as they followed him to the hole in the outer wall he made.

They hurried out through the hole as one of the convicts happily said, "We're free!"

King Shark looked back at them all with a devious smile as he said, "Not just yet."

He pulled out some kind of remote trigger as he pushed a button with his thumb and an advanced submarine came to the surface. It came close to the shore and opened a hatch as the prisoners looked at it with awe and curiosity before looking back at King Shark.

He smiled evilly as he said, "Come with me and I'll give you a lot more than freedom."

The prisoners looked at each other before they smiled back at King Shark and nodded, they all got inside the submarine just as the guards came out. The hatch to the submarine closed and the guards fired at the submarine and King Shark but their actions were in vain. King Shark jumped into the water and swam away at high speed while the submarine automatically followed him with all the prisoners inside.

Opening theme song

The following day, it was a crystal clear night and the Titans were gathered outside the Tower as they waited for the arrival of some friends. They looked to see a blue T-Ship flying toward them as it landed in front of them, and out of it came the Titans East.

Cyborg smiled as he happily said, "Hey ya'll! Good to see ya!"

Bumblebee smiled at Cyborg as she said, "You too Sparky."

Mas and Menos smiled as they stared at Starfire with little harts floating around them while she backed away uncomfortably.

Robin smiled at the Titans East as he said, "Thanks for coming everyone."

Speedy smiled at Robin as he said, "Don't mention it."

Beast Boy went up to Aqualad and smiled as he happily said, "Hey dude, you ready for another sweet mission underwater?"

Aqualad looked at him with a serious expression as he clinched his fist and said, "This isn't a snorkeling trip Beast Boy! We have to find out what King Shark's up to and stop him!"

Beast Boy was surprised by Aqualad's serious attitude as he said, "Uh… Okay."

Everyone gathered in the Titans' main room in the Tower as they watched security footage from the prison showing King Shark freeing the prisoners.

Robin stopped the video as he looked at the others and said, "Last night, this King Shark guy broke into jail and took over a hundred prisoners with him in some kind of advanced submarine. We called you guys to get more information on him."

Aqualad stared at the screen that showed King Shark and turned to the others as he said, "I've dealt with King Shark before, he's caused problems for the people of Atlantis and the surface. He's extremely strong and powerful. He can survive on land and underwater. He also has a taste for human flesh."

Beast Boy sat on the couch and cringed in both fright and disgust while the others glanced at him with mildly concerned expressions.

Raven looked at the screen with her arms folded as she curiously asked, "What is he? A mutant, an alien, or some kind of sea monster?"

Aqualad looked back at her as he answered, "No one's really sure what King Shark actually is or where he came from, but he's one of the most dangerous villains in the sea. He once terrorized Hawaii before the people of Atlantis stopped him."

Bumblebee joined Aqualad as she explained, "He came to Steel City over a week ago and stole the sub from a lab."

Speedy looked at the Titans as he explained, "We tried to stop him but he was too strong for us."

Mas looked a bit scared as he said, "El era muy muy malo."

Menos also looked a bit scared as he said, "Si."

Aqualad spoke with a serious tone as he looked at the Titans and explained, "We also got word from Atlantis that he recently a bunch of Atlantean technology and weapons."

The others looked troubled, even Beast Boy who exclaimed, "Dude!"

Raven looked at Beast Boy and asked, "Do you even know what it does Beast Boy?"

Beast Boy looked up at her as he honestly replied, "No, but I know the stuff they got in Atlantis is really dangerous."

Aqualad looked at Raven with a serious expression while he firmly said, "Beast Boy's right. Trust me I know."

Raven was surprised as she glanced at him, then Beast Boy, but then brushed it off as she turned her focus to the matter at hand.

Robin was very troubled as he held his chin and said, "Atlantean technology is highly advanced, and their weaponry is unlike any other on the planet."

Aqualad looked at Robin as he nodded with a serious expression and said, "That's right, and in King Shark's hands it makes him more dangerous than ever."

Cyborg walked to Aqualad and curiously said, "Okay, so he's got this sub and Atlantean tech, but what does this land shark guy want with all those inmates?"

Aqualad looked at Cyborg before staring forward and pounding his fist as he seriously said, "I don't know, but it doesn't matter. We have to find him and take him down!"

Beast Boy was surprised as he looked at Mas and Menos and said, "Is it just me, or is he starting to sound like Robin?"

Mas looked at him with concern as he said, "No eres solo tu."

Menos agreed as he said, "Si, esta obsesionado."

Beast Boy understood them as he looked at Aqualad with concern while Cyborg said, "I can track the sub they used. That should give us a good idea where to start looking."

Robin looked at the others as he said, "If we find the sub we might find King Shark's base of operations, and find the stolen Atlantean tech and the escaped prisoners."

Aqualad nodded with a serious expression as he said, "Good! Let's get cracking!"

The others started to work and talk while Beast Boy kept looking at Aqualad with concern; sometime later they got both T-Ships ready and set out. The Titans and the Titans East drove their respective T-Ships while Beast Boy and Aqualad swam ahead of them and lead the way. Beast Boy swam next to Aqualad as a sailfish as they both swam with great speed while the T-Ships followed them.

Robin looked a monitor in his cockpit as he said, "We've got a lock on the sub. It's close by."

In the blue T-Ship, Bumblebee spoke into her headset as she looked at the orange T-Ship and said, "Hey Robin, just so you know, we're a little worried about Aqualad."

Speedy agreed as he looked at the Titans' T-Ship and said, "Yeah. Ever since King Shark stole that sub, he's thought about nothing but beating him."

Starfire, having overheard them, showed a bit of concern as she said, "Aqualad does seem quite focused."

Raven stared forward as she said, "Obsessed is more like it."

Robin stared forward as he honestly said, "He just wants to make sure that we stop King Shark. Once we do I'm sure everything will be fine."

Ahead of them Beast Boy was still swimming with Aqualad, who telepathically said, "Beast Boy, do you remember those new forms I taught you?"

Beast Boy kept swimming as a sailfish while he telepathically said, "Yeah! I'll show this shark dude some cool sea creatures!"

Aqualad kept staring forward with his arms out as he telepathically said, "Good, that'll help us take him down for sure."

Beast Boy swam closer to Aqualad expressed concern as he telepathically said, "Dude, you okay?"

Aqualad looked at him out of the corner of his eye with a serious expression as he telepathically said, "I'm fine. All that matters is that we stop King Shark."

They kept swimming while the Titans followed them in the T-Ships, suddenly the orange one started shaking and rumbling as something hit them.

Robin looked around as he asked, "What was that?"

Cyborg looked at monitors as he urgently said, "I don't know! Something hit us!"

Something hit the T-Ship again and Raven looked at her monitors as she urgently said, "We're taking damage!"

Robin spoke into his headset as he urgently said, "Titans! We're under attack! We need help!"

Aqualad and Beast Boy stopped and floated as they turned around to look at the T-Ship while the Titans East looked at them. The blue T-Ship moved under the orange one and they saw King Shark on the bottom of it, ripping out chunks of metal.

Bumblebee's eyes widened as she exclaimed, "It's him! He's under your sub!"

Aqualad spoke into his Communicator as he said, "Hold on Robin! We're coming!"

He and Beast Boy swam toward them as fast as they could as King Shark swam over the T-Ship and looked down at Robin with an evil smile. He raised his fist and prepared to smash the glass until Aqualad swam at him and punched him, knocking him away. The T-Ship moved forward while Aqualad floated in front of King Shark and glared at him while Beast Boy joined him.

King Shark held his arms out at his sides as he grinned evilly and said, "Well, well, if it isn't the little tuna! Who's your green chum."

Using Aqualad's telepathic link, Beast Boy looked at King Shark and said, "Name's Beast Boy, and I'm nobody's chum!"

King Shark smiled evilly as he stared at Beast Boy and turned to Aqualad as he said, "We'll see about that. Found some new playmates Garth?"

Beast Boy looked at Aqualad as he curiously thought, "Garth?"

Aqualad looked at Beast Boy with an annoyed expression as he telepathically said, "That's my name, okay?"

Beast Boy was a bit surprised as he thought, "Whoa."

The T-Ships floated behind Beast Boy and Aqualad as Aqualad pointed at King Shark and said, "We're here to stop you King Shark!"

Robin pushed a button and projected his voice over a speaker in the T-Ship as he said, "We're the Teen Titans and you're in hot water!"

Aqualad kept glaring at King Shark as he fiercely said, "That's right! Soon you'll be locked in a shark cage with no way out!"

King Shark chuckled as held his arms out to his sides and he arrogantly gloated, "You're dreaming little prince. You and your little surface friends have no chance against what I'm about to unleash! Soon I'll be ruler of the sea, and then the world!"

Robin glared at King Shark as he spoke into his headset and demanded, "What did you do with those prisoners you broke out of jail?!"

King Shark smiled snidely as he wagged his left finger and said, "Ah ah ah, that would spoil the surprise. Trust me, it will worth the wait."

Aqualad clinched his fists as he angrily said, "Whatever you're planning, it won't work! You're going straight to Atlantean prison!"

King Shark showed an amused expression as he pointed his claws at them and said, "Is that so? Well if you kids want to mess with the big fish then you're in way over your heads!"

He moved his tail and swam at them with blazing speed as he roared, but Beast Boy and Aqualad separated as he tried to slash his claws at them.

In the two T-Ships the rest of the Titans watched the fight as Cyborg raised his left fist and yelled, "Punch him in the nose!"

They could not hear him as King Shark swung his tail at Aqualad and knocked him away, then King Shark turned his attention to Beast Boy. Beast Boy was still a sailfish when King Shark swam after him and tried to eat him, but Beast Boy narrowly avoided his teeth. King Shark came at him again but Beast Boy avoided his mouth and morphed into an electric eel, then he bit King Shark and zapped him.

King Shark screamed in pain before shaking Beast Boy off of him, then he smiled evilly and said, "You shocked me. Not bad shrimp. But you're gonna have to do a lot better than that."

He tried to bite Beast Boy again but Aqualad swam at King Shark and punched him in the face and knocked him back. He tried to punch him again but King Shark grabbed Aqualad's fist in his hand and smiled evilly before he punched Aqualad in the chest and sent him shooting back through the water. Beast Boy then morphed into a giant squid and wrapped his tentacles around King Shark, trying to restrain him. King Shark struggled for a bit before he grabbed Beast Boy's tentacles and pulled them off his body, then he lashed Beast Boy away and threw him through the water. Beast Boy floated in the water and morphed into a great white (green) shark and swam back at him while Aqualad joined him. King Shark smiled maniacally as Beast Boy came and bit his arm but King Shark opened Beast Boy's mouth and then threw him at Aqualad.

King Shark swam to Beast Boy as he smiled and gloated, "Kid, they don't call me King Shark for nothing! You can't beat me as a shark!"

He snarled as he paddled his tail and rammed Beast Boy in the side, then he kicked the great green shark and knocked him toward Aqualad.

He laughed at them both while they swam and Beast Boy telepathically said, "This guy's tougher than I thought."

Aqualad glared at King Shark as he swam and telepathically said, "I told you he was powerful! Keep fighting!"

Beast Boy morphed into a dolphin and swam at King Shark, ramming him in the chest, but he didn't hurt him as King Shark smiled evilly. He spun around in the water and swung his tail at Beast Boy, knocking him away, then Aqualad swam at King Shark and punched him in the face three times. King Shark then grabbed Aqualad in his hands and squeezed him tightly before driving his left knee up, hitting Aqualad between the legs with the fin on his knee. Aqualad screamed in pain as his eyes widened and in the T-Ships the other Titans cringed as they watched. King Shark then laughed as he threw Aqualad away, and he kept holding his groin as he floated in pain. Beast Boy swam past Aqualad as an orca as he swam at King Shark and tried to bite him, only for King Shark to avoid his jaws and punch him in the side of his face.

He smiled at Beast Boy as he gloated, "Killer whale, nice touch, but still not good enough."

Beast Boy swam back at King Shark while Aqualad recovered and joined the fight, but King Shark was not deterred.

The rest of the Titans kept watching from the T-Ships as Starfire showed concern as she said, "We must help them!"

Mas y Menos showed angry expressions as they raised their fists and simultaneously exclaimed, "Si! Conviertelo en sushi!"

Robin kept watching with a serious expression as he said, "No! We don't have the means to fight King Shark like they do."

Bumblebee looked just as serious as she kept watching and said, "He's right. If we fire our weapons we might hit Beast Boy or Aqualad by mistake."

Speedy kept watching as he asked, "So what do we do?"

Raven was watching the fight with a patient expression as she said, "We watch and wait for an opening, then we attack."

Cyborg smiled as he kept watching as he proudly said, "That's right! We got their backs!"

Beast Boy was still an orca as he swam at King Shark and tried to bite him, but King Shark avoided his teeth and swung his tail at Beast Boy, knocking him away.

King Shark stared at the green orca as he smiled and gloated, "I'll give you this, you're tough, but exactly bright."

Aqualad swam at King Shark from behind and tried to attack him, but King Shark turned and punched him in the face, knocking him away. Beast Boy then transformed into an enormous species of seahorse and swam at Aqualad to help him as he let him ride on his back.

The others were watching from the T-Ships with impressed expressions as Raven said, "That's a new one."

Aqualad rode on Beast Boy as Cyborg happily cheered, "Oh yeah! Atta boy BB!"

Aqualad smiled at Beast Boy and telepathically said, "Thanks Beast Boy, nice job."

Beast Boy swam with Aqualad on his back as he happily said, "No sweat dude! Check me out! I'm an Atlantean Seahorse and you're and underwater cowboy! Sweet!"

He then swam toward King Shark with Aqualad riding on his back and when they came close Aqualad punched him hard in the face.

King Shark floated as he stared at them and said, "Nice hit, but that still won't save you."

They swam back at him again and Aqualad tried to punch King Shark, but King Shark punched him and knocked him off of Beast Boy, then swung his tail at Beast Boy's face and knocked him away. Aqualad swam with his arms out and tried to punch King Shark again, but he grabbed Aqualad's fist and held him in place.

Aqualad cringed in pain but gritted his teeth as he glared at King Shark and said, "I've beaten you before and I'll do it again!"

King Shark smiled evilly as he gloated, "You never beat me! All those times we fought you caught lucky breaks because you had help from…"

Before he could finish Aqualad angrily kicked him in the chest, forcing him to release his hand as he floated back.

King Shark leered at Aqualad as he gloated, "You've never beaten me on your own!"

Aqualad swam at him and angrily exclaimed, "First time for everything!"

He punched King Shark in the face four times before King Shark punched him, hit him with the fin on his right elbow, then spun around and hit him away with his tail.

Beast Boy was still an Atlantean Seahorse as he swam with Aqualad and telepathically said, "This dude's really tough. Maybe you should call some fish to help us."

Aqualad glared at King Shark with hatred as he stubbornly thought, "No! I can handle him!"

He and Beast Boy kept fighting King Shark while the others watched, and Speedy impatiently said, "We can't just sit here and do nothing!"

Cyborg kept watching with uncertainty as he said, "I'm with Speedy. I'm not sure they can take this guy on their own."

Starfire was worried as she said, "Agreed! We must help our friends!"

Robin watched and noticed that Aqualad and Beast Boy were struggling against King Shark, but they were also very close to him.

Robin narrowed his eyes as he said, "Okay, let's move in to help them but don't fire any weapons."

Bumblebee looked at the orange T-Ship as she said, "We're on it."

Everyone nodded as the two T-Ships moved closer to the fight while Beast Boy and Aqualad continued to fight King Shark. He looked and saw the T-Ships approaching, then he saw Beast Boy swimming toward him as a narwhal, and King Shark smiled evilly. He swerved to avoid Beast Boy's tusk and then he grabbed Beast Boy's fin and threw him at the orange T-Ship.

Beast Boy's tusk stabbed part of the T-Ship and Cyborg angrily said, "Hey! Watch where you're pointing that thing!"

Beast Boy was stuck before he changed to a leopard seal and turned around, but he only saw Aqualad and no sign of King Shark.

He looked around as he thought, "Where'd he go?"

Aqualad spotted King Shark and pointed his finger as he exclaimed, "There!"

Suddenly the T-Ship started rumbling at Robin and the others looked to see King Shark at their right wing, smiling back at them. He grabbed the wing and dug his claws into the metal as he used his strength to move the T-Ship while the Titans East watched from theirs.

Cyborg glared at King Shark as he shook his fist and angrily yelled, "Hey! Get your claws off my T-Ship!"

King Shark smiled evilly as he looked at Cyborg and said, "I've got a better idea, how about I take you all for a little ride?"

He clinched the metal and dented it with his superstrength as he started pushing down on the wing and made the T-Ship tilt a bit.

Aqualad watched in fear as he said, "No!"

Beast Boy swam at King Shark and tried to bite him, but King Shark kept holding the T-Ship while he swung his tail and knocked Beast Boy aside.

King Shark tilted the orange T-Ship and smiled at the Titans as he gloated, "You're gonna need a bigger sub."

He then whirled the T-Ship around with his strength before releasing it and sending it straight toward the Titans East's T-Ship as they screamed in terror.

Commercial break

The orange T-Ship came straight toward the blue one at high speed as Robin yelled, "Brace for impact!"

The front of the orange T-Ship hit the top of the blue one, between two of the cockpits, then the orange one spiraled in the water for a moment.

It finally stopped upside down before the Titans steered it to turn it over as Robin said, "Damage report!"

Cyborg looked some monitors and then said, "We took a big hit there but she looks like she's okay."

Robin looked at the blue T-Ship as he said, "Titans East, come in. Are you okay?"

Speedy's face turned green for a moment as he sarcastically said, "Yeah, just great."

Bumblebee looked at their T-Ship as she said, "We've suffered a little bit of damage but we're okay."

Robin started steering as he said, "Good, let's see if we can still help."

Just then King Shark swam over the blue T-Ship and looked down at the Titans East as he said, "You land people are so easy to scare. Why don't you come on out for a swim?"

He then showed his claws on his right hand as he prepared to slash them at Bumblebee's cockpit until he felt something. Aqualad grabbed King Shark's tail and then threw him far away from the blue T-Ship as he "flew" through the water.

Aqualad looked down at his team as Bumblebee smiled gratefully and said, "Thanks for the save Aqualad."

Aqualad looked at her and the others as he angrily said, "Stay back and let me handle this!"

They were shocked by his behavior before he turned and swam after King Shark, who was now closer to the surface. He floated in the water as Aqualad swam at him and tried to punch him, but King Shark dodged him and punched him in the face, sending him straight up. He made Aqualad breach the surface as he flew high in the air before he came falling down and splashing back into the water. After he reentered the water King Shark came at him and punched him again as he roared ferociously. Aqualad was knocked deeper underwater before he stopped and saw King Shark swimming down toward him. He prepared to counter but Beast Boy swam by as a Dunkleosteus and rammed King Shark with his armored head, knocking him away. King Shark recovered and saw Beast Boy coming at him again but he punched the green Dunkleosteus and knocked him away.

Beast Boy circled around King Shark while he angrily thought, "Okay, that's it! Let's see how he handles the big guns!"

He then morphed into a Pliosaurus and swam at King Shark as fast as he could, which caught him by surprise. He opened his mouth and bit down on King Shark's stomach, with his legs, tail, and upper body sticking out of the sides of his mouth.

In the orange T-Ship, Cyborg watched and happily raised his fists as he cheered, "Yeah B! See how he likes getting bit!"

He swam around as he kept biting down on King Shark, who started pounding his fist on Beast Boy's snout. Beast Boy kept swimming as he shook King Shark around a bit, then he breached the surface of the water and threw King Shark into the air. He splashed back into the water and saw the green Pliosaurus swimming around him, looking at him.

King Shark had a twisted smile as he said, "Guess you have some bite to you after all! Did I taste good?"

Aqualad joined them while Beast Boy telepathically said, "No way dude! I'm a vegetarian!"

King Shark was repulsed as he said, "Eww! That's disgusting!"

Aqualad glared at King Shark as he angrily said, "Well then let us see if we can take a bite out of you!"

He and Beast Boy both swam to King Shark while he smiled evilly and awaited for them, Aqualad came at him first and tried to punch him. King Shark dodged his fist and then hit him with his tail and knocked him away just as Beast Boy came at him with his mouth wide open. King Shark avoided being bitten and then punched the green Pliosaurus in the face and made him turn around in the water. King Shark chuckled evilly as he swam toward Beast Boy from behind, only for Beast Boy to turn into a humpback whale and swing his tail down at King Shark. He hit King Shark and sent him sinking deeper into the sea before he recovered and swam back up and watched the green humpback start to turn.

He smiled maliciously at Beast Boy as he said, "Nice move kelp boy. I gotta admit you're a lot tougher than your Atlantean friend."

Right on cue, Aqualad swam up and punched him in the face before he angrily said, "Maybe so, but I'm still gonna kick your tail!"

King Shark chuckled in an amused manner as Aqualad tried to punch him, only for King Shark to grab his fist and punch him the face. He sent Aqualad sinking down into the darkness as he laughed evilly until he was hit by powerful blasts of energy. He screamed in pain as he was knocked away and he saw the two T-Ships facing him and realized they just fired their seismic blasters at him.

King Shark started swimming toward them as he angrily said, "Okay, now you've done it! I'm sending you all to a watery grave!"

Just then, Beast Boy swam in front of him as a Megalodon as he telepathically said, "I don't think so! Now who's the king!"

King Shark watched the green Megalodon swim in front of him, impressed as he smiled and said, "Wow! Now that's what I call a shark! Nice job! You may be dumb, but I like the way you think seaweed. You go big or go home."

Beast Boy turned and swam between the two T-Ships as they moved toward King Shark as he thought, "Yeah, so King Shark, wanna see how you do against a Megalodon?"

King Shark kept smiling as he placed his finger on his chin before turning as he said, "That sounds fun, but I've got work to do right now. Maybe later."

He turned and swam as fast as he could until the Titans could no longer see him, and when he was gone Cyborg, Starfire, Speedy, Mas, and Menos all cheered happily.

In his cockpit Cyborg happily punched the air before smiling at Beast Boy as he said, "Booyah! Way to go BB! Way to send him swimming!"

Mas y Menos smiled at the green Megalodon as they simultaneously said, "Eras asombroso, Senior Beast Boy!"

Even Raven couldn't help but smile at Beast Boy as she said, "Good job."

Robin looked at Beast Boy before tilting the control yoke up while he said, "Nice work Beast Boy, now we have to help Aqualad."

The two T-Ships moved downward while Beast Boy swam down to the ocean floor; Aqualad was unconscious on the seabed when he came to and felt his head. He opened his eyes and looked up to see Beast Boy swimming down toward him with the T-Ships behind him.

As the green Megalodon swam down he telepathically said, "Aqualad, you okay?"

He floated up as he held his head in pain and telepathically replied, "I have a headache but I'll be alright."

He swam up and looked around hastily as he went to the T-Ships and asked, "What happened?! Where'd he go?!"

Bumblebee smiled as she looked at Aqualad as she replied, "Shark boy swam off after we sent him packing."

Aqualad got angry as he said, "You let him get away!"

Robin spoke into his headset as he said, "You were hurt so we came to help you."

Aqualad looked at Robin as he angrily said, "You should've gone after him and left me!"

Bumblebee shook her head as she firmly said, "No way Aqualad! We leave no Titan behind!"

Cyborg agreed with a serious expression as he said, "Bee's right man! We're not gonna stand by and let you become fish food!"

Aqualad folded his arms as he floated in the water and angrily said, "And now King Shark's gone and free to carry out his plan. We have to find him now!"

Beast Boy swam around him and the T-Ships as he telepathically said, "Dude, take it easy! We'll find him! Just chill!"

Aqualad looked at Beast Boy as he spoke with his mouth and angrily said, "We don't have time to chill Beast Boy! I've fought King Shark before! I know how dangerous he is! I have to stop him before it's too late!"

Bumblebee glared at Aqualad as she said, "WE have to stop him! We're all on the same side Aqualad! We're in this together!"

Aqualad glared at her and then noticed all the other members of both teams were also glaring at him with serious expressions.

Raven looked at Aqualad as she impatiently said, "Arguing solves nothing! We need to work together if we're going to stop him."

Aqualad glared at her for a moment before looking away with his hair flowing in the water as he folded his arms.

Robin looked at a monitor in his cockpit as he seriously said, "We've still got a lock on the sub. It's close by."

Beast Boy swam by, having overheard everything, as he turned into a barracuda and telepathically said, "Dude, let's go tag a shark."

He started swimming and Aqualad impatiently followed him as they both swam with the two T-Ships following them. They all came to a massive undersea and spotted an entrance to an underwater cave, Beast Boy turned into a squid as he floated with Aqualad.

They both stared at the entrance while Cyborg looked at a monitor in his cockpit and said, "The signal's coming from in there."

Robin stared at a monitor in his cockpit as he said, "And it looks like there's an air pocket in there too."

Speedy showed a serious expression as he said, "This must be the place."

Aqualad looked at Beast Boy then the others while he spoke and said, "Be on guard everyone, there's a good chance he's probably waiting for us. Be ready for anything!"

He and Beast Boy swam in and the two T-Ships followed them as they carefully entered the underwater cave and started searching.

As they swam Beast Boy looked at Aqualad and telepathically said, "Hey Aqualad, chill out! We're gonna get this guy."

Aqualad swam with a serious expression while he stared forward and telepathically said, "I know we will. I'll see to it personally."

Beast Boy swam closer to him as he telepathically said, "Dude, we're here to help. We've kicked bad guy butt before, and we'll kick shark tail too."

Aqualad looked at Beast Boy before brushing it off as he kept swimming, suddenly a bunch of advanced turrets came out of the cave walls and aimed at them.

Beast Boy looked scared as he thought, "Uh oh."

Aqualad angrily glared at the turrets as he said, "I told you guys to be ready for anything!"

Robin fearlessly spoke into his headset as he fiercely said, "We are! Titans, fire torpedoes!"

The Titans pushed buttons on their control yokes and both T-Ships fired over a dozen torpedoes that destroyed all of the turrets.

Once they were destroyed Aqualad was a bit surprised when Beast Boy floated next to him and thought, "See dude? When we're together we can do anything!"

Aqualad looked at Beast Boy as his expression softened a bit but he remained serious as he said, "Let's go!"

He swam forward with his arms out while Beast Boy followed him and the others followed them in their T-Ships. They came to the air pocket as Aqualad rose to the surface of the water and peered inside the underground cavern.

He rose up higher and said, "All clear."

Aqualad climbed out of the water and Beast Boy joined him as he changed to his human form and then the T-Ships surfaced. The others got out of the T-Ships and jumped onto the rocky shore of the cavern as they glanced around curiously. Robin then spotted the submarine that King Shark used when he broke all of the prisoners out of jail.

He pointed at it and then looked around as he said, "There's the sub, but where are all the escaped prisoners?"

They all turned to Beast Boy, who was standing by a cave wall looking into a chamber as he said, "Hey guys, check this out."

They all joined Beast Boy and looked to see a laboratory with a supercomputer, cylinder-shaped glass chambers, and many other different machines. The glass chambers went all the way up to the ceiling of the cavern and there were tubes connecting to the base of the chambers. There was also a small puddle of some kind of green liquid on the floor near one of the chambers. All of the technology was very advanced and Aqualad showed a serious expression as he immediately recognized it.

The Titans walked in to investigate while Mas and Menos both said, "Mira todo esto."

Cyborg looked in awe with his mouth agape and his eyes wide and round as he said, "Yo! This tech is unlike any other on Earth!"

Aqualad had a serious expression as he looked around and said, "This is the Atlantean technology that King Shark stole, but I don't see the weapons anywhere."

Robin glanced around as he said, "And there's still no sign of the escaped convicts."

Speedy looked at the others as he theorized, "Maybe King Shark ate them."

Aqualad looked at Speedy as he seriously said, "No. He wouldn't go through all this trouble just for some human snacks."

Starfire floated in the air as she looked around and guessed, "Perhaps he brought them somewhere else."

Mas and Menos held hands as they zipped around looking for clues and stopped when they found some orange prison uniforms lying on the floor.

They both held up two prison uniforms as Mas said, "Mirar! Uniformes de prision!"

Menos sniffed the uniform he was holding and then cringed in disgust as he exclaimed, "Puaj! Eso apesta!"

Raven walked over to them and looked at the prison uniforms as she said, "Something tells me they were here."

Beast Boy joined her and smiled as he elbowed her and jokingly said, "Let's just hope those guys still have some clothes on."

He laughed at his joke while Raven rolled her eyes, then Aqualad came to Beast Boy and snapped, "Beast Boy! This is no time for jokes! We have to find out what's going on now!"

He walked away, leaving Beast Boy slightly hurt and Raven surprised by his behavior as she looked at Beast Boy with a bit of sympathy.

She walked with Aqualad and sincerely said, "I know Beast Boy can be a pain sometimes, but I think you were a little too hard on him."

Aqualad took a deep breath but remained serious as he said, "I'm sorry, but we have to learn what King Shark is doing here and put an end to it. Now let's get back to work."

Raven stopped and watched Aqualad walked away and she could tell that he was obsessed, even without her empathic powers.

Beast Boy joined Raven again and looked troubled as he said, "Raven, I'm kinda starting to worry about Aqualad."

Raven understood as she agreed and said, "Yeah, the Titans East said the same thing. Aqualad does seem pretty obsessed with stopping King Shark."

Beast Boy looked at Raven with a troubled expression as he said, "Yeah and I think he wants to beat him all by himself."

Raven kept looking at Aqualad as she said, "He and King Shark have a history, and Aqualad worked alone before he met us. He probably feels that he needs to do this on his own."

Beast Boy was concerned as he said, "But we're all a team, friends. We have to help him out."

Raven looked at Beast Boy as she honestly said, "When the time comes we'll be ready to help Aqualad in his time of need, but for now let's just work on figuring out what King Shark's up to."

Beast Boy nodded and they separated as they all went back to searching the cavern for clues to King Shark's plan.

Robin went over to the puddle of the green liquid and placed his fingers in it as he thought and said, "Hmmm."

Cyborg was with Bumblebee as they examined some of the Atlantean technology when Bumblebee walked up to the computer.

She turned to the others and pointed her right thumb at the computer as she said, "I say we search this computer for clues. Sparky, would you?"

Cyborg smiled as he cracked his knuckles and happily said, "Gladly!"

He started typing on the computer while pulled a cable out of his chest and plugged it in to help him access it.

The others joined Cyborg as he kept working and said, "I can't access all of the data, this system is really well encrypted."

Beast Boy was shocked as he looked at the others and said, "Dude, if Cyborg can't hack then we've got a problem!"

Aqualad folded his arms, not surprised as he said, "Atlantean technology does have the best security systems and waterwalls."

Starfire looked at Aqualad with confusion as she said, "Waterwalls?"

Aqualad smiled at her as he explained, "Instead of firewalls."

Beast Boy chuckled while Raven sarcastically said, "Hilarious."

Aqualad shrugged while Robin seriously said, "Keep trying, there has to be something this computer can tell us."

Cyborg made the computer beep as he said, "Hold on, I got something."

He opened some files that showed text as well as pictures of different species of sharks on the monitor above them.

Mas and Menos showed confusion as Mas said, "Son esas sus mascotas?"

Menos was still confused as he said, "O esta buscando una cita?"

Cyborg stared at the screen as he read the text and said, "These files are all about the DNA of different shark species."

Beast Boy looked at the monitor and pointed his finger as he said, "I recognize these sharks, but I don't get why he'd want their DNA. They're nothing like him."

The others thought and then Starfire looked at Aqualad as she asked, "Aqualad, does the King Shark have any followers?"

Aqualad looked at her as he honestly answered, "Not really. He's managed to convince some crooks to help him, but they've never done much good for him."

Robin started to get suspicious as he said, "Are there any other shark people like him?"

Speedy started catching on as he said, "Yeah, does he rule some kind of city of talking sharks or something?"

Aqualad shook his head as he said, "No. I told you, no one really knows where he came from. There are lots of rumors about him but no one knows for sure. One thing's for certain, King Shark is the only one of his kind. No one has ever seen another like him."

Starfire showed a bit of sympathy as she said, "What a lonely existence."

Raven turned her head and looked at Starfire as she deadpanned, "I don't think King Shark is looking for friends Starfire."

Beast Boy thought about what Raven just said and his eyes widened as he looked at the others and said, "Wait! What if he is?"

Aqualad was confused as he asked, "What are you talking about Beast Boy?"

Cyborg was just as confused as he said, "Yeah man. You think King Shark is doing all this to try and make some new friends?"

Beast Boy was troubled as he said, "No, but what if he's trying to make more like him? What if he's trying to make more shark people?"

Aqualad dismissed Beast Boy's theory as he said, "Don't be ridiculous. How could he…"

Beast Boy interrupted him as he said, "The prisoners."

The others' eyes widened in shock and realization as Robin said, "Beast Boy's right! King Shark freed over a hundred inmates from our prison! Aqualad, could he have changed them with this Atlantean technology?"

Aqualad thought for a moment and glanced at the monitor with a troubled expression as he said, "Theoretically yes, especially if he has the DNA to do it."

Everyone became unsettled as Starfire gasped and Robin urgently said, "If he found a way to mutate those criminals he'd have an army!"

Beast Boy was nervous as he said, "Yeah, an army of shark people."

Suddenly they all heard a loud thump as King Shark jumped down close by them and leered at all of them.

He smiled as he pointed at Beast Boy and mockingly said, "I'm impressed kid. You're not as dumb as I thought."

The Titans all glared at him as they stood in fighting stances while Robin exclaimed, "King Shark!"

King Shark smiled evilly as he pointed his finger at all of them and said, "That's right bird brain! I'm King alright!"

Aqualad glared at King Shark as he angrily pointed his finger and said, "You're no king! I'm here to stop you!"

King Shark smiled sadistically at Aqualad and held his arms out while he said, "Hey Garth, glad you could make it. I was expecting you a lot sooner, but better late than never. Welcome to my home, so glad you could all come for dinner!"

Raven glared at King Shark with an annoyed expression as she sarcastically said, "He sure knows how to be a good host."

Robin glared at King Shark as he held his hands out and defiantly said, "We're not underwater this time, so the playing field is even!"

King Shark smiled arrogantly as he said, "You think it matters where you fight me? Land or sea I'm unstoppable!"

Cyborg glared daggers at King Shark as he clinched his fists and said, "Yeah? Well now you're facing all of us together!"

Bumblebee aimed her stingers at King Shark while she confidently said, "Yeah! Now you're outnumbered ten to one!"

King Shark smiled deviously as he held up his right hand and said, "Am I?"

He snapped his fingers and then a small army of shark people stepped out of the shadows of the cavern behind him.

The Titans gasped in shock as they stared at them while Speedy said, "I think we just found out what he's planning."

They were the convicts that he had broken out of prison, now turned into mutant shark people similar to King Shark himself. They all looked the same as they looked like humanoid talking sharks with arms and legs, muscular builds, extra shark fins on their knees and elbows, and they wore outfits identical to King Shark's. However they were not as tall as King Shark, their bodies were not as muscular as his, and they looked like combinations of different shark species. They all had heads like hammerhead sharks, but their skin had the color of tiger sharks, and they had tails like thresher sharks, though the top halves of their tailfins were relatively shorter, and they had red fringes in their gills like frilled sharks. All of the mutant shark people were armed with the stolen Atlantean weapons, which were large grey blaster rifles.

All of the mutant shark people spoke simultaneously as they exclaimed, "All hail King Shark!"

King Shark stood with his small army behind him as he held his hands out, threw his head back, and laughed maniacally.

Commercial break

The Titans were all together as they stared back at King Shark and all of his mutant shark minions behind him. The girls were in the air as Starfire and Raven floated above the others while Bumblebee hovered next them.

King Shark looked back at all of the mutant shark people before turning to the Titans while he maniacally said, "Look at them! Yesterday they were just worthless common criminals of the surface, but today they're my mighty new shark army! Armed with Atlantean weaponry, they're unstoppable!"

All of the shark people happily raised their fists as they cheered, "Yeah!"

Beast Boy glanced around at the shark mutants as he said, "Dudes, what's wrong with you?!"

Cyborg agreed as he said, "Yeah, I could probably make you an antidote to turn you all back to normal!"

One of the shark men laughed as he happily said, "Are you kidding?! Why would we give this up?!"

Another shark man smiled as he said, "Yeah! We're better than ever! We can take whatever we want!"

King Shark smiled evilly as he stared at the Titans and said, "That's right! With these guys by my side I'll conquer Atlantis, the ocean, and then the whole planet!"

Aqualad glared at King Shark as he skeptically said, "Your shark men may be powerful, but there's not nearly enough of them to takeover Atlantis, let alone the world."

King Shark smiled deviously as he raised his finger, then clinched his fists while he said, "No but this is just the beginning! I'll gather all the humans I need to make my army big enough to conquer anyone who stands in my way! Everyone will bow down to King Shark! But first, some training might be necessary, and I think destroying your precious city will be a good warm up."

They all laughed when Robin bravely said, "Not if we have anything to say about it! Titans go!"

The Titans then charged at King Shark and his shark men, while he pointed at them and said, "Attack!"

The mutant shark men yelled in fury as they charged to attack the Titans, who were still charging at them.

Aqualad was at the front of the group as he yelled, "King Shark's mine! You guys handle the others!"

Beast Boy looked at Aqualad as he said, "Aqualad wait!"

Aqualad didn't listen as he ran straight for King Shark and tried to punch him, only for King Shark to dodge him with a smile and punch him. The mutant shark people came at the Titans as Beast Boy morphed into a rhino and charged, knocking several aside as he rammed them. Robin pulled out his bo staff and swung it at the face of one shark man, then kicked him in the chest and knocked him down. Robin started fighting more mutant sharks while Cyborg activated his left sonic cannon and blasted one into the cave wall. One shark man came at Cyborg, roaring with his teeth out, but Cyborg smile as he held his right hand up and let him bite his arm.

The shark man kept biting down while Cyborg smugly said, "Easy. Don't chip a tooth."

Cyborg then pulled his arm free and punched the shark man away before blasting a couple more shark people.

Mas and Menos put their hands together and exclaimed, "Mas y Menos, si podemos!"

They went zooming around with their superspeed as they hit a few shark guys and knocked them down before zooming off to handle the others. Bumblebee shot one shark man with her stingers, then she turned to see some aiming their blasters at her, but she dodged the lasers and kicked them in the face. Speedy shot some arrows at a few shark people, and they exploded on impact and knocked them down, but more shark people came at him. Raven floated in the air and sent out a barrier of her black magic that knocked several shark people away. More of them came and aimed their weapons at her but Starfire floated in front of her and threw starbolts at them, blasting them down. She smiled as she giggled in glee, but the defeated shark people started getting back up and they aimed their weapons at the two girls and rapidly fired at them. They blasted both Raven and Starfire out of the air as they screamed in pain and fell to the ground.

The girls got up, looked at them, and a surprised Starfire said, "Atlantean weaponry is quite formidable."

Robin used his bo to knock the blaster out of one shark's hands saying, "Then don't let them shoot you!"

He swung his bo at the shark man's face three times, but then the mutant shark growled as he blocked Robin's bo with his arm. Then he spun around and swung his tail at Robin, knocking him back, Robin landed on his feet but then the mutant shark man ran at him and hit him with his hammerhead. He knocked Robin on his back and Robin got up when he came at Robin again and tried to bite him but Robin blocked him as he held his bo out as the shark guy bit it. Robin then kicked him in the chest and knocked him to the ground and avoided being shot by some of the other shark men. Bumblebee was still small as she flew around some shark guys and zapped them with her stinger, knocking them down. Suddenly one shark man swatted her like a fly and knocked her to the floor, prompting her to grow to her normal size. She took flight and kept fighting as she shot her stingers at some more mutant sharks as she hovered in the air. She was blasted and knocked out of the air by one mutant shark but she recovered as she stayed on her feet and kept fighting. Speedy kept shooting arrows at the shark mutants, but some of them managed to doge his arrows, and then one shark man came at him and punched him in the face, knocking him down. Speedy got back up and avoided the shark man as he tried to slash his claws at Speedy, then Speedy swung his bow at his face and knocked him down, only for him to get back up. Mas y Menos kept zooming around as they hit some shark men and knocked them down before stopping and smiling at each other. Suddenly one shark man came at them and hit them with the sides of his hammerhead, separated them from each other. When they hit the ground they looked at each other with their arms out as they cried out each other's names.

Some more of the mutant shark people came and started chasing them and they both ran away at normal speed. Cyborg punched several mutant sharks that came at him and knocked them away, then he blasted one with his left sonic cannon. He smiled smugly until several mutant sharks surrounded him and rapidly fired orange lasers at him from their Atlantean weapons. Cyborg screamed in pain as he fell on his knees as the shark people came closer to him, aiming their weapons at him. He jumped high in the air and came crashing down as he slammed his feet on the ground, causing a tremor that knocked them all down. They started getting up so Cyborg yelled in fury as he ran at them and kept fighting as he fired his sonic cannon. Beast Boy was a kangaroo when he jumped over some shark people, then kicked some and knocked them down. Then he morphed into a Pachycephalosaurus and headbutted one shark man and knocked him down, then he turned into a polar bear and swung his paws at two others. Suddenly three shark guys came at him and attacked him together; one punched Beast Boy in the face, one swung the side of his hammerhead at Beast Boy's stomach, and the third swung his tail at Beast Boy's face.

They knocked the green polar bear down, then Beast Boy turned human and said, "For some guys who just became mutant sharks, these dudes are pretty tough."

One of them came at Beast Boy and roared as he tried to bite him, but Beast Boy morphed into a hummingbird and dodged him. Meanwhile Aqualad was still fighting King Shark by himself as he angrily ran at him and tried to punch him. He swung his fists at King Shark three times but King Shark dodged his attacks with an arrogant smile on his face. He spun around and swung his tail at Aqualad, knocking him back, then he jabbed his right elbow at Aqualad's face and hit him with his elbow fin. Aqualad recovered and then punched King Shark in the face twice, then he tried to kick King Shark in the chest.

But King Shark grabbed Aqualad's leg as he smiled evilly and gloated, "Weak little plankton!"

He then swung Aqualad around like a ragdoll and slammed him into the ground three times before throwing him at the cave wall. Aqualad groaned in pain as he lied down while King Shark chuckled victoriously, then he turned to see Cyborg beating two of his shark people.

King Shark came to him and smiled evilly as he said, "Okay tin man, let's see how you handle me."

Cyborg smiled as he deactivated his sonic cannon and ran at King Shark; he punched him and sent him flying and crashing into a cave wall. But King Shark climbed out of the hole and charged at Cyborg roaring, then he punched Cyborg in the face twice and swung his tail and sent him flying.

Cyborg got back up and admitted, "Okay, you're tougher than your boys, but I ain't going down easy!"

He ran at King Shark and punched him three times before King Shark punched him and tried to bite him. Cyborg held his right arm up blocked his mouth, but King Shark bit hard on Cyborg's arm and damaged it as sparks of electricity shot from it while Cyborg screamed in pain.

Bumblebee and Starfire watched with fear as Starfire yelled, "Cyborg!"

The two girls flew to help him but King Shark saw them coming as he stopped biting, grabbed Cyborg by his arm, and swung him at the girls, knocking them down.

He threw Cyborg at them, and Cyborg held his arm in pain and said, "Yo! His bite's worse than his bark!"

Mas and Menos both ran to join Cyborg, Starfire, and Bumblebee and they watched in fear as King Shark came at them. Speedy, Robin, and Raven quickly got in front of him and made him stop in his tracks as they protected their friends.

Raven's eyes glowed white as she held her hands out and chanted, "Azarath Metrion Zinthos!"

She encased King Shark in a field of her black magic and restrained him, but he struggled and grew angry as he roared. Raven had a hard time keeping him contained as she grunted and then he broke free from her energy field and jumped at her. He spun around through the air and hit her with his tail, knocking her toward Cyborg and the others, then Robin and Speedy drew some of their weapons. Robin threw three birdarangs at King Shark, but he swatted one away with his hand, knocked one away with the fin on his elbow, and he ate the last birdarang.

Speedy aimed an arrow at King Shark and said, "Smile you son of a gun!"

Speedy fired the arrow at him, but King Shark caught the arrow and used it like a toothpick before throwing it away. He smiled evilly as he charged at Robin and Speedy and knocked them toward the others, just as Aqualad climbed out of the wall King Shark threw him through. He saw the others in trouble and hurried to help them and Beast Boy joined him as he flew over Aqualad and they both got in front of King Shark as Beast Boy turned human.

King Shark smiled as he taunted them and said, "Ready for a rematch?"

Aqualad glared daggers at King Shark as he said, "This time! You're not getting away!"

He ran at King Shark and punched him in the nose, knocking him down, but King Shark stood on all fours as he hit Aqualad with his tail. King Shark then got back up and punched Aqualad in the face, knocking him toward the others as Beast Boy watched. Beast Boy then morphed into a T-Rex and roared at King Shark before grabbing him in his mouth, biting him, and then throwing him away. King Shark bounced on the ground before crashing into a boulder, then he ran at Beast Boy and jumped in the air. He punched the green T-Rex in the face and sent Beast Boy crashing to the ground before Beast Boy turned human and started to get up.

King Shark smiled competitively at Beast Boy as he said, "Got anymore fancy tricks?"

Beast Boy smiled deviously as he turned into some kind of large crustacean that somewhat resembled a lobster. The others watched in shock; the lobster-like creature raised the front of its body with its tail on the ground. It stood about seven feet tall and was approximately eight fee long; it had long antennas on its head and huge lobster claws.

The Titans watched as Raven asked, "Um… What is that?"

Aqualad watched with a serious expression as he said, "A Marianna Lobster! We have them in Atlantis."

King Shark smiled evilly as he said, "Good. I love shellfish."

Beast Boy shrieked as he bent over and charged at King Shark with his big lobster legs, then he rammed him. He raised the front of his body and clamped his enormous claws onto King Shark's arms and held him in place. King Shark grunted a bit before he bit Beast Boy's shell and made him let go, then he lifted the green Marianna Lobster and threw him at the others. Aqualad ducked as Beast Boy turned human and crashed into his friends, then Aqualad furiously ran at King Shark. He tried to punch him with his right arm but King Shark grabbed his fist and held him in place, Aqualad tried to punch him with his left fist arm but King Shark did the same thing again.

He held both of Aqualad's fists and forced him onto his knees as he gloated, "Give it up prince! You can't beat me and you know it! I'm bigger, stronger, and better! You're nothing!"

He then lifted Aqualad into the air and slammed him on the ground, then he threw him at all the other Titans and knocked them down.

King Shark's mutant shark army all gathered around him as he said, "Forget about them! Move out!"

They all yelled in excitement as they ran past the Titans and headed toward the cave entrance with King Shark leading the way.

After they all passed the Titans Aqualad got up and yelled, "No! We can't let them get away!"

The others got up and followed him as they ran after King Shark and his army, but they already reached the pool and swam through the underwater entrance.

Once they were outside they stopped as King Shark turned around and ordered, "Bury them!"

The mutant shark people fired their weapons at the cave and made the entrance collapse as boulders sank and blocked the way out. Aqualad jumped in the water and swam until he saw the cave-in and yelled in anger and defeat, outside King Shark laughed victoriously before and swam away with his army.

The others were standing by the pool when Aqualad returned and said, "They've blocked the exit."

Cyborg pounded his fist and said, "Well let's go down there and unblock it!"

Aqualad sat on a rock as he moped, "Don't bother. It's over."

The others were all shocked as they simultaneously exclaimed, "What?!"

Beast Boy looked at Aqualad as he said, "Dude! We can't give up!"

Robin agreed as he said, "He's right! The city needs us! We have to stop King Shark!"

Aqualad glanced at them as he sadly said, "We can't stop him! I can't stop him! He was right. All those times I fought him I always had help. I can't beat him by myself."

Beast Boy spoke sincerely as he said, "Then don't fight him by yourself! Dude, we're a team! We're supposed to be fighting together!"

Cyborg agreed as he said, "BB's right. We can't always do everything by ourselves, that's why we help each other out. We have each other's backs when we need it."

Mas and Menos both agreed as they said, "Si!"

Robin looked at Aqualad as he solemnly said, "I know how it feels to want to beat your enemy, but getting obsessed will only get you in trouble. All that matters is that we save the city from King Shark."

Bumblebee smiled proudly as he said, "We're Titans! We don't abandon our friends!"

The others smiled in agreement, and Aqualad's spirits were lifted as he smiled and said, "Thanks guys. That means a lot to me. Let's go kick some tail."

Shortly after, the caved in entrance was blown up by the two T-Ships' seismic blasters and they moved out of the cave. Inside the T-Ships the Titans smiled proudly as they drove forward while Aqualad swam in front of them with a smile on his face and Beast Boy swam as a sailfish.

Meanwhile King Shark and his army swam toward the city when one turned and said, "Uh… Boss?"

King Shark turned around and saw Beast Boy, Aqualad, and the T-Ships chasing them, he was annoyed as he said, "Those brats don't know when to quit! Rear guard, take care of them!"

Over a dozen of the mutant shark people stayed behind while King Shark led the rest of them toward the city.

The mutant shark people swam toward them and Aqualad smiled at Beast Boy as he telepathically said, "Beast Boy, I think a Flying Gar would handle these guys nicely."

Beast Boy swam as he happily thought, "Sweet!"

He then morphed into a Flying Gar, a large carnivorous fish over ten feet long; he had a long narrow body, a head similar to an alligator gar's, a tail like a shark's and four huge fins on the sides of his body. He swiftly swam at the mutant shark people and destroyed one's weapon as he bit it with his long snout.

He swung his tail and knocked the shark man out and Cyborg was amazed as he said, "Whoa!"

Two shark people came at Aqualad but he punched them both and knocked them out before Beast Boy swam to him. Aqualad got on his back and rode him underwater as Beast Boy swam at a couple mutant shark men; Aqualad punched one and knocked him out and Beast Boy bit one before throwing him away. One shark man swam toward the surface and jumped out of the water, but Beast Boy jumped out with Aqualad still riding on his back. Beast Boy grabbed the shark guy in his mouth and held his large fins out as he glided through the air like a giant flying fish. He went back into the water and swam before throwing the shark man in his mouth away.

Beast Boy kept swimming with Aqualad riding him as he telepathically said, "This is awesome!"

Aqualad smiled in agreement as he thought, "I know!"

Aqualad let go of Beast Boy and swam as he punched one shark man in the face while Beast Boy swiftly swam through the water. The Titans East defeated a couple of mutant sharks using lasers in their T-Ship, but the rest of the mutant sharks went to the orange T-Ship and fired their weapons at it. The T-Ship suffered serious damage as it started sinking while water leaked through cracks in the cockpits.

Robin spoke urgently as he said, "We're sinking! Abandon ship!"

He, Starfire, Cyborg, and Raven ejected out of the T-Ship wearing diving suits that Cyborg recently invented. The shark people prepared to fire their weapons again but Aqualad had a serious expression as he used his telepathy to call for help. He summoned a pod of dolphins to come as they started ramming the shark men and made them drop their weapons, which sank to the seabed. The dolphins kept fighting the mutant sharks while the Titans watched, then they saw Beast Boy swimming toward them as a humpback whale.

Raven glared at Beast Boy as she pointed her finger and said, "NO! I am not going in there again!"

Aqualad swam to her and said, "He wants you guys to grab his fins so he can carry you to shore."

Raven looked at Beast Boy and said, "Oh."

Two of them grabbed onto Beast Boy's right fin while the other two grabbed his left fin as he swam through the water. The pod of dolphins started to chase the mutant sharks away and the Titans East led the way as they all continued toward the city. Meanwhile King Shark and his army had entered the bay of Jump City; King Shark rose his head above the surface and smiled evilly.

He stared at the city as he maniacally said, "Okay boys, let's give this city a taste of what's to come."

Many of his mutant shark people swam and climbed onto the docks of the harbor as they started scaring people and firing their weapons. Suddenly King Shark heard a whale and he and the rest of his shark people in the water turned around to see the blue T-Ship coming their way with Aqualad swimming in front of them. Behind them came Beast Boy as a humpback whale as Robin, Cyborg, Starfire, and Raven held on to his fins.

King Shark growled in anger and pointed his finger as he yelled, "Destroy them!"

The mutant sharks swam toward the Titans and fired their weapons at Beast Boy; Beast Boy quickly turned into a sailfish and swam away from their blasts. Robin, Cyborg, Raven, and Starfire had to swim on their own with their diving suits when the mutant shark people came swimming toward them. Aqualad swam in front of them and punched several mutant sharks in the face while Beast Boy turned into an Ichthyosaurus and rammed three more with his beak.

Aqualad fought off two more when King Sharm swam and grabbed him saying, "Give it up Garth! You know you can't beat me alone!"

Aqualad smiled proudly as he said, "Then it's a good thing I'm not alone!"

He kicked King Shark and got himself free when Beast Boy swam to them as an orca; Aqualad grabbed his dorsal fin and stood on his back. Beast Boy swam to King Shark and jumped out of the water while Aqualad punched King Shark in the face, sending him flying in the air. He crashed onto a crate on the dock and groaned with a dizzy expression, meanwhile the mutant shark men were attacking Robin, Starfire, Cyborg, and Raven. One of them came at Raven and bit her helmet, causing it to leak and fill up with water as she started to drown. Beast Boy swam as a dolphin and rammed the mutant shark away from her, and as she lost consciousness he swam and carried her to shore.

He turned human as he pulled her out and started pressing on her stomach saying, "Raven! Wake up!"

She did not respond and he stared at her as he reluctantly moved his head toward her to give her mouth-to-mouth.

Before he could do it, she pressed her finger to his lips and said, "Don't even think about it."

He climbed off her and she stood up as they were joined by the others, Aqualad surfaced as he said, "Beast Boy and I will handle the shark guys in the water, you guys stop the rest from destroying the city."

Everyone nodded as Beast Boy turned into a sailfish and swam with Aqualad while the rest of the Titans hurried toward the docks. A shark man was shooting his weapon when the Titans came, he aimed his weapon at them but Robin threw a birdarang that damaged his weapon. He pulled out his bo and ran at the guy before swinging his staff and knocking him back into the water, then he threw an explosive disc that blasted a few others into the bay. Cyborg fired his right sonic cannon and blasted three of them back into the water while Starfire floated overhead and threw some starbolts at some. Bumblebee flew at some shark mutants and kicked them in the face, knocking them back into the water. Raven sent out a barrier of her black magic and knocked a bunch of shark mutants back into the bay. One shark man was about to fire his weapon at Raven, but Speedy was standing by a crane when he shot an arrow right down the nozzle. The weapon exploded and blasted him back into the water as Speedy smiled, then he saw a bunch of shark people coming toward him. Mas and Menos ran around on one dock with their superspeed as they knocked a bunch of shark people back into the water.

Aqualad surfaced nearby and looked at them as he said, "Mas! Menos! I need a whirlpool!"

They both smiled excitedly as they joined hands and ran on top of the water while Aqualad dived down. Beast Boy rammed a couple shark people as a sperm whale when a bunch of other shark men started shooting orange lasers at him. He turned into a sailfish and swam toward Aqualad, who looked up to see Mas y Menos running in a circle on top of the water. He held his hand up toward them and used his powers with their speed to create a whirlpool that sucked up the shark people chasing Beast Boy. They swirled in the whirlpool and were sent down to the bottom of the bay before Aqualad stopped it and they slammed into the seabed unconscious. Beast Boy swam to him and Aqualad smiled when a dozen more shark men came shooting their weapons at them. Beast Boy changed into a Pliosaurus, he snapped his jaws at them and they screamed, dropped their weapons, and swam for their lives as Aqualad grinned smugly. On the dock, King Shark got up and groaned when he looked and saw the other Titans fighting his mutant shark army and he noticed they were starting to win. He growled in fury, looked out toward the bay, and saw Aqualad jump out the water and punch a shark man in the face.

Speedy was shooting arrows when he looked at Aqualad and yelled, "Hey Aqualad! Ice wave!"

Aqualad saw Speedy shooting arrows at a bunch of mutant sharks coming toward him on the dock and he swam toward him as fast as he could. He used his powers to create a large tidal wave that hit all the sharks on the dock, then Speedy pulled out a blue arrow and shot the water, freezing it into ice and trapping the guys inside. King Shark saw this and realized his army was already defeated as he clinched his fists and snarled furiously.

King Shark ran to one of his shark men and angrily demanded, "Give me that!"

He took his weapon and swam toward Aqualad and grabbed him before throwing him down to the seabed.

He aimed his weapon at him and furiously said, "You ruined everything Garth! Now you're shark bait!"

Aqualad looked behind King Shark and smiled as he said, "No, you are!"

King Shark turned around and saw Beast Boy swimming toward him as a Megalodon as he tried to bite him. He barely missed King Shark as he backed away from his mouth, but Beast Boy bit King Shark's weapon in half.

He bit him again but King Shark held his mouth open as Beast Boy thought, "Now who's the chum?!"

King Shark held his mouth open with his hands and feet as he gloated, "Sorry kid, but I'm still the King!"

He used all his strength to get out of Bast Boy's mouth and punched him in the nose and started fighting the green megalodon. Aqualad quickly swam to the surface and noticed the crane with its hook hanging over the water and he smiled as he got an idea. He swam toward the crane and jumped out of the water, grabbed the hook, and pulled it down into the water.

King Shark was chasing Beast Boy, who was a sailfish, as he said, "Come back here you little shrimp!"

He tried to eat Beast Boy but Aqualad threw the chain out and wrapped it around King Shark as the hook got caught on the chain. King Shark struggled and roared while Aqualad signaled Speedy, who used the crane to reel in the chain and hoist King Shark out of the water.

He hung upside down high over the water as he struggled and said, "Get me down from here!"

Speedy smiled at King Shark through the crane's windshield as he said, "Sorry, we're going fishing."

King Shark was annoyed as he said, "Oh, and I guess that makes me the catch of the day."

Aqualad smiled deviously as he said, "No. You're just the bait."

King Shark was confused as he looked at Aqualad and said, "What?"

He looked down at the water and screamed as Beast Boy breached under him as a Mosasaurus and bit down on King Shark, snapping the chain as he pulled him back into the water. Beast Boy swam around in the bay with King Shark in his mouth as he repeatedly bit down on him while King Shark struggled. Beast Boy and Aqualad swam further out to see when Beast Boy jumped out of the water and threw King Shark away as he screamed. He was gone and Aqualad watched the direction he went before he and Beast Boy went back to join the others.

The next morning everyone was gathered on the shore of the Titans' island as Aqualad gratefully said, "I want to thank you all for everything, especially you Beast Boy. I couldn't have done it without your help."

Beast Boy smiled proudly as he said, "That's what friends are for dude."

Robin smiled as he curiously asked, "What about King Shark? He's still out there."

Aqualad smiled confidently as he said, "What's important is that we stopped him. His army is now in Atlantean prison and all of the technology and weapons he stole is back where it belongs."

Bumblebee smiled as she said, "Yeah, and if King Shark ever comes back we'll be ready for him."

Speedy smiled confidently as he said, "And if we need help, we know who to call."

Mas and Menos agreed as they said, "Si."

After saying their goodbyes the Titans East went to their T-Ship, but Aqualad stopped and smiled as he said, "Thanks again for the help Beast Boy."

They high-fived as Beast Boy happily said, "No sweat dude. We make a great team."

Aqualad smiled as he got an idea, placing his finger on his chin and pointing at Beast Boy while he said, "Yeah. We do. You know, I've got a few more ideas for sea creatures you could turn into."

Beast Boy smiled as he said, "Sweet!"

Aqualad had a friendly smile as he said, "And maybe sometime I'll show you around Atlantis."

Beast Boy gasped in delight as his eyes lit up with wonder, Raven was annoyed as she said, "Oh no."

The Titans East flew away in their T-Ship, and after they left Beast Boy happily said, "Atlantis?! Yes! I'm going to Atlantis! I'm gonna be the first Titan to see Atlantis!"

He kept cheering for himself as he went back to the Tower, passing the others, and they all stared forward with frowns on their faces.

Raven kept staring forward as she complained, "He's never gonna shut up about this, is he?"

Robin, Cyborg, and Starfire shook their heads in annoyance as they kept staring forward while frowning.

Credits

Author's note: I thought King Shark would be a cool villain for the Titans to fight, powerful and dangerous. And it would be perfect for one of those times they go underwater. I picture King Shark being voiced by Ron Perlman, just like Armaggon in the 2012 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series. This also expresses my love for animal, including sharks. I also thought it would be cool to have Beast Boy turn into fictional sea creatures from Atlantis and stuff. We will see King Shark again. Happy Shark Week! Please review.
