Everyone was screaming. There was panic throughout the streets. A fiery asteroid was heading towards Jump City. Only the Teen Titans stared up at the incoming disaster.
"Titans, if that 100 meter asteroid hits Jump City, we're looking at a multi-kiloton explosion that'll destroy many city blocks. Raven, you know what to do." Nightwing turned to Raven. She nodded as the half-demon's eyes turned white.
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" She instantly teleported the incoming asteroid from the sky, to right above the street with no velocity or momentum, before letting it drop with very little speed, only cracking the road below a little bit.
"We dids it!" Beast celebrated, but Nightwing shoved a finger into his face.
"It's not over yet. It's hardly ever simple that it's just an asteroid."
"The world is mine! Hahahaha!" A squeaky, high-pitched voice easily called out, but none of the Titans could see where was coming from.
"Did you hear that?" Raven asked.
"Yeah, but I don't see it." Cyborg shrugged.
"This pathetic planet is no match for the greatest criminal mind in the galaxy!" Nightwing used his mask to zoom in on the asteroid, inspired a 2 inch caterpillar with a language translator.
"Is that... a caterpillar?" The Titan leader was dumbfounded by this minuscule alien.
"What?" Beast was confused. "A little caterpillar worm?"
"Well that's new." Raven shrugged.
"And a bit underwhelming." Jinx sighed. "Let's just squish it under a foot or something and just be on our way."
"Not so fast, Mr. Mind!" A red clad, white capped hero slammed down on the ground, cracking the street.
"Shazam?!" The whole team gasped in shock.
"Ah, Billy Batson! My old enemy!"
"You may as well surrender now! Your evil plans will not prevail!"
"Oh, but they will!" Mr. Mind laughed. "Once I unleash the seven deadly sins of man upon this world, I will be unstoppable! Hahaha!"
"Let's go help this hero!" Raven suggested, to which she teleported themselves to the asteroid ground zero.
"Yo yo, dude!" Beast greeted. "The Teen Titans are here to assist!"
"Titans, stand back! Mr. Mind can-"
"Control their minds? Too late!" The caterpillar maniacally laughed as each of the Titans groaned, feeling their minds being invaded. While four of the heroic team near instantly fell to his machinations, Nightwing and Raven were at least able to resist.
"Ugh! No way... am I being controlled... by a caterpillar! Azarath... Metrion... Zinthos!" The half-demon cast a counter spell that neutralized Mr. Mind's psionic abilities. Four of them held their heads, like they were having a headache.
"Oh, so you can shut me out? Don't think that you have won because of that. For I am Mr. Mind, the greatest mind in the whole-ahhhh!" A pigeon picked up Mr. Mind by the beak and took off to eat him somewhere. Shazam sighed.
"This is not good. I doubt that bird will eat Mr. Mind before he controls it. I must speak to the wizard."
"What wizard?" Jinx asked, groaning from the mental pain.
"The magic wizard that gave me my powers, and allows me to become my heroic self and back by saying my name. Come along, fellow heroes. We must take the subway train to the Rock of Eternity." That perplexed the Titans. Cyborg asked,
"The subway?"
"Yes. It may seem unorthodox, but I know the way." After getting onto the nearest subway, they were able to reach the Rock of Eternity, where an old wizard sat in a throne.
"Welcome, young visitors." The Wizard greeted them.
"Is that Merlin?" Beast pondered.
"Close. My name is Mamaragan."
"Wizard, Mr. Mind is on the loose again." Shazam told the wizard.
"Yo, what's those statues?" Beast interrupted by pointing to some statues aligning the wall.
"Within those statues are the imprisoned spirits of the Seven Deadly Sins. Pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth."
"Wizard, we should really talk about Mr. Mind right now." Shazam reminded the old wizard. "We need to find them before he takes over the world."
"Oh, i'm closer than you think." The caterpillar chuckled, as he got off the subway while riding the pigeon that tried to eat him. "You fools have led me to the Seven Deadly Sins! And I shall take them and cast them onto your precious earth!" Using it's psychic abilities, it drew the soles of the sins out of the statues, and into a tiny container. He laughed as he got the train, and it sped away.
"You must stop him, Shazam!" The wizard warned.
"Don't worry." Nightwing assured the old man. "Shazam, and the Teen Titans will take him and the Sins down." Returning back to Jump City on the bus, they came to witness the physical embodiments of the Sins.
"Have at them boys!" Mr. Mind ordered as the Sins blasted the Titans faster than they could react. The yelled out in pain from being filled up with certain embodiments of Man's worst qualities. Starfire glowed red, Beast glowed pink, Nightwing glowed orange, Raven glowed green, Jinx glowed purple, and Cyborg glowed blue.
"Ugh, what just happened?" Nightwing groaned, looking at his orange glowing hand.
"Oh no." Raven uttered. "They've infected us with their own respective sins! You're all powerless against it!"
"Tsk, speak for yourself, Gandalf." Richard scoffed her concern. "We can handle this, because I am the best hero on the team, and I will take care of this single-handedly!"
"Hey, do not disrespect Friend Raven with the prideful boasting!" Starfire yelled into his face before punching him into a wall. "Yaaaaahhhhhh!" The Tamaranean warrior yelled as she zoomed into the sky, needing space from everything angering her.
"Oh man, I'm suddenly famished!" Cyborg patted his stomach. "I need something to eat!" he ran to the nearest Japanese all you can eat buffet, where the chef yelled in Japanese to make him stop. Jinx ran after him.
"Why eat a buffet, when you can have me?!" Jinx yelled at her boyfriend with a hungry look as she took her leather jacket off. "Take me!" She ecstatically jumped into the restaurant.
"Uhhh... you all can't handle this one, all right? I'm just uh... feeling a bit lazy." Beast fell on his face, napping. Mr. Mind was laughing, until he realized that Raven was not acting envious, nor incapacitated. She was just looking at them, her eyes filled with tranquil fury.
"Hey, why aren't you acting like all the rest?!"
"Because I've been taught since birth to keep control of my emotions. And I've had to control eight different emotions each having their own personalities at once. Compared to that, only feeling envious feels like nothing.
"You may be able to resist Sin, but now you're all alone! You'll be overwhelmed by the Seven Deadly Sins!"
"She's not alone." Shazam slammed into the ground next to the half-demon sorceress. "Ready to dish out some hurt?"
"You bet I am." Each of the Sins tried blasting them, but Raven used her soul-self to form a shield, taking the brunt of the attacks while Shazam zoomed over the attack, and punched through the deadly group. They got up with hateful expressions as the tried to gang up on the Justice League member, but got wrapped up by black chains. Shazam took advantage of this by beating the evil embodiments silly.
"Shazam!" All of them got hit by mystical lightning, thus swiftly defeating them as their bodies dissolved. Mr. Mind tried to retaliate, but he got trapped in a jar Raven conjured.
"No use getting out of this jar, Mr. Mind. I made this an enchanted jar where your psychic abilities are useless. As far as we're concerned, you're just a caterpillar that talks.
"Curses! Forwarded once again!" With the defeat of the Seven Deadly Sins, Nightwing woke up, Starfire soon returned, Beast woke up, and Cyborg and Jinx walked out of the restaurant, looking mortified.
"Let's never speak of that again." The female metahuman swore as she put her jacket on.
"Agreed." Shazam floated to the gathered heroes.
"Titans, despite the risk of being possessed by the Seven Deadly Sins, you tried to help regardless. Even if Raven was the only one who could actually help, your bravery is commendable. If there's anything you'd like to do with me before I return to Fawcett City, we can do it." Beast thought about it.
"You know, you sorts of make me thinks of Elvis, the ways your face looks and hows you talk. I think I knows what we can do."
A video started recording, as a 17 year old kid slid into view, his back to the camera when he yells,
"Shazam!" a lightning flash turned the teenage boy into Shazam, who began to sing an Elvis song while dressed in the late singer's iconic clothes. "You ain't nothing but a hound dog!" He turned to the camera, along with Starfire, Nightwing, Raven, Beast, Jinx and Cyborg similarly dressed in Elvis clothes, sliding into the video to sing along with him.
"Cryin' all the time
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time
Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine!"
A/N: I don't own Elvis Presley's song of Hound Dog. I just wanted to use something more substantial than just saying that Shazam is a bit like Elvis.
