Cyborg's foot ran through a puddle as the metallic man pushed through tropical trees, running from something dressed as Fred Flintstone. Behind him was the sound of heavy footsteps. He dove into a bush to conceal himself, only to jump out when the sound of a dinosaur was even closer than before. Fast as he could run, it wasn't enough as he was snagged by sharp teeth on the back of his costume, and yelped as he was hoisted into the air by a T-Rex, and then thrown up into the air, only for the T-Rex to turn into a brachiosaurus. Cyborg grinned in anticipation as his feet slid across the back of the dinosaur while yelling,
"Yabba Yabba Booyahbadoo!" He was then flicked off at the end of the tail, and landed in the superhero pose, cracking the ground. Beast Boy then turned back into himself landing on the ground laughing.
"Oh yeah, dude! That was our most best one yet!" He cheered. Cyborg sighed contently, though a little bored.
"Yeah. How about we go inside now?" He suggested.
"Aww, after all the fun we've been having?" Beast Boy pouted. Cyborg frowned.
"Dude, we went through like, 25 different dinosaur scenarios. I need a little me time."
"Please? Just five more dinosaurs, I swear, dude." The shapeshifter pleaded. Cyborg rolled his one eye when he thought of something, and then smiled with a bit of sly.
"Sure. But you better give me a good head start. That T-Rex thing went a little too quick." Beast Boy nodded.
"Got it, dude. I'll give you 60 seconds this time." The boy turned around and started counting.
"One Mesozoic, two Mesozoic, three Mesozoic..." And with that, Cyborg ran off and turned the corner of the tower, only to enter the front door and search for a certain sorceress.
Raven entered the bathroom, and looked in the mirror to see her hooded self. Smacking her mouth a bit, tasting stale saliva, she sighed only to detect something. Raven breathed into her hand, her breath visible from a gaseous demon and sniffed. Her eyes shot open and her pupils retracted to be very small. Reaching over to get her toothpaste in the cabinet, and opened it, only for the toothpaste to explode in her face, bringing her even more shock. Seeing that the tag was somewhat peeling on the tube now that all of the content caked her face, Raven ripped it off to read the real brand. 'Acme's quality gag exploding toothpaste. Make your friend's face as pearly white as their teeth.' Come to think of it, her toothpaste was half used before this moment and she didn't see it.
"Beast Boy." The half-demon girl growled as her eyes turned angry with an accompanying frown as her hand vaporized the gag toothpaste, and all the rest for the others just in case they were tampered with too. And it was then that Cyborg saw her through the open door.
"Raven, just the girl I wanted to see." He tried being friendly.
"Not now. I'm going to find Beast Boy and rip out his teeth one by one and then put them back in the opposite direction after the prank he pulled." The female titan said as she floated out of the bathroom. He then followed her.
"Yeah, yeah, revenge and all that but I need a favor. I'll owe you one." The metallic titan politely bargained.
"What could you possibly ask that I would follow through with?" She asked skeptically.
"I just need you to make two of me so that he can play with Be-."
"No. Raven denied, cutting him off.
"It'll be just for an hour."
"No." She repeated, using a stronger tone.
"Oh come on Raven! Please, please..." Cyborg went to say that about seven more times before the half-demon got tired of his begging and went somewhat demonic to try and scare him off, with four red eyes and black tentacles extending from her cape, hissing like a real Tasmanian Devil.
"What is all the locomotion about here?" Starfire asked with Robin following, carrying one box of pizza. Calming down from her state, Raven answered,
"Cyborg wants me to make a magical double of him."
"And then he could play with Beast Boy. Just for another hour so I can be by myself for a bit."
"Magic is a powerful tool, not to be used for petty reasons." Robin explained as he walked past. Cyborg took the pizza box to look in but saw it was half meat, half vegetarian. Saddened, he showed the pizza to Raven, sounding dejected.
"Could you at least clone this pizza so that he could get a full vegetarian pizza as an apology to BB?" The female titan sighed.
"Fine. Azarath Metrione Zinthos!" What the sorceress didn't count on was the swap of pizza and Cyborg, creating two of him by accident.
"Booyah!" Both cheered as they mimicked each other's movements in one of those special high five sequences.
"Oh brother." Robin groaned while Raven's eyes turned pure white as she struggled containing her anger at not just Beast Boy but now Cyborg as well. The green teen then entered the scene from the elevator, looking annoyed.
"Dude, you bailed on-?" He paused when he saw two of his best friend. "Whoa! Wha?" He ran up to the two machine men.
"Beast Boy, let me introduce you to myself, Cyborg. He's an exact replica of me."
"What's up, Beast Man?" The replica asked, sounding exactly like the original. Beast Boy then grinned coyly.
"Exact duplicate, huh? I'll be the judge of that!" Grabbing each of their hands and dragging them into the living room away from the others, he asked,
"What's your favorite food?"
"Trick question; pizza and burgers, duh." The copy answered.
"What's your favorite video game?"
"Space Rings."
"Who would win in a fight, a ninja or a mermaid?"
"Neither, being natural allies, they would team up to defeat the evil kung-fu bear people." With that, Beast Boy grinned as wide as he could.
"You are an exact duplicate! Want to play some more dinosaurs!"
"Uh, yeah!"
"Awesome!" The green teen shouted before the two dashed off to play outside.
"Ha, it worked. I'm such a genius." Turning around to see the others, he smiled satisfied. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to my room to chillax." And with that, he walked past the others, with Raven saying to herself,
"Great, not only do I have to change Beast Brain's dental work, now I have to see if Cyborg is really half man half machine by ripping him in half!" Her scornful frown had jagged teeth and her four red eyes were back when Robin warned,
"Raveeen." Hearing her leader, the half-demon girl calmed down, though still seriously ticked off as she went into her room to meditate.
As Cyborg entered his room, he went to the computer on his desk and looked at the condition of stuff.
"Let's see here. T-Car?" After a scan, the screen glowed green. "Perfect. Tower defenses?" Again, the screen went green after checking. "Beast Boy having fun?" But to his surprise, he and his copy weren't there. "What? Where did they go?!" After pulling up the cameras, he saw the two playing a game in Beast Boy's room. "Why are they playing a video game?!" Running out of his room, he went to his best friend's room, only stopping and making sure he didn't look all surprised and stuff before looking in.
"Oh man, you play just as well as the original Cyborg! Look out Sergeant Major!" Beast Boy was rambling.
"Yeah! Take that, elite brutes! Booyah!"
"Uh, hey guys. I thought you guys were playing dinosaurs."
"We were, but since Cloneborg won't be around forever, we decided to play something else. We're playing Space Rings 2." The shapeshifter answered.
"Cloneborg." Cyborg repeated, unimpressed. "As in clone Cyborg."
"Yep." The copy agreed. Seeing his plan backfire, the original slumped.
"That's okay. I didn't feel like playing my number 1 favorite game in the whole wide world anyway." Silently crying, he went back into his room. Hooking up to his bed, he took a nap. But, it was about an hour later that he zapped right awake happy.
"Wait a minute!" Getting off his bed and disconnecting all the wires on his body, he went to his computer to bring up every page from Raven's spell book seen from the hidden security camera in Raven's room. It doesn't live stream for privacy sake, but it always records in case something goes wrong. Also, trying to ask Raven again would be suicide. After spending a few minutes precisely hanging mirrors throughout the hallway so that he could see Beast Boy, whom was napping at the moment now, he printed the page on magical duplication onto a piece of paper, aimed, and said,
"Azarath Metrione Zinthos!" While the paper was ordinary, the words on the page still reacted to the magical words and shot out a beam of black energy that bounced zigzagging across the hallway until it hit the green titan. He then ran into his best friend's room and shouted, "Hey BB! Wake up!" Mumbling from being woken up, he yawned,
"Hey, what's up?" Only not only did he hear the exact same words right next to him, he noticed the same green teen looking at him, resulting in both screeching in fright. "You're me!"
"Correction, I'm you." The clone, maybe, said in response. To test this, they turned into an assortment of animals. First was a cat, followed by elephant, rabbit, beaver and toucan before turning back into boys and high fiving while yelling, "Awesome!" Entering the room were Robin and Starfire who heard the commotion with the alien gasping and Boy Wonder slapping his face muttering,
"You've got to be kidding me." But Cyborg didn't care as he raised his arms.
"This is great! Now I have a new best friend." Picking up the clone BB, he asked him, "Right, Beast Boy?" Returning into the room was the clone Cyborg, who noticed the two shapeshifters, and gasped.
"Whoa, you're a magical double? Just like me? Want to become best friends?!"
"Okay." The green copy said sort of blandly.
"No wait, we're supposed to be best friends!" The original Cyborg tried claiming, but the copy BB pushed off of him.
"Sorry Cyborg, I just have more in common with Cyborg. Later." And with that, the clones left.
"Nice going, Cy. Now neither one of us has a best friend." Beast Boy complained.
"Perhaps the two of you becomes best friends again?" Starfire asked.
"Oh yeah. Want to get something to eat?" Cyborg asked his original best friend.
"Sure." Beast Boy shrugged happily as they went to leave.
"So there's four of them now." Robin sighed, a little annoyed.
"Should we be the concerned about this?" Starfire questioned.
"We'll have to wait and see."
"Man, I'm starving." The metallic teen complained.
"I have a bag of chips I left in the kitchen."
"Then let's eat!" But after getting to the kitchen, the found the bag in the trash. "Looks like someone beat us to it. Luckily we have some ice-crud!" He looked in the freezer to see it gone. They looked into the living room to see the clones playing Space Rings 2 while eating the strawberry ice cream with their bare hands. They recoiled in disgust. Even for them that's nasty. And because the controllers were covered in melting ice cream, they short circuited, prompting the clones to throw them to the originals.
"All yours." The BB clone shrugged off.
"Aww man, they busted the controller!" The clones walked away laughing. "Are we really that annoying?"
"If I were to be honest, yes." Starfire said as she floated behind them while Robin followed lugging a box around labeled with a radioactive symbol. "But I still enjoy your company, friends."
"Now you know how we feel when you guys are goofing off too much." Robin followed up. "I'm calling up a meeting.
Within a few minutes, all of the titans and the two clones were seated in the living room.
"So, all in favor of kicking the magical doubles out, leaving them be in Jump City?" Robin proposed. All the original five raised their hands. "Opposed?" The clones did.
"Looks like you lose." Beast Boy gloated.
"Look again bro." The Cyborg clone said as he snapped his fingers, and from the kitchen, hallway, elevator, the bathroom after flushing without washing their hands and crashing through the windows, many more clones of the two came from practically everywhere. The clone Beast Boy spoke up.
"Thanks to this piece of paper that Cyborg printed..." He pulled out the paper from his pants, conjuring up more clones. "...we figured out how to clone ourselves."
"No." Raven refused as her eyes glowed white and all the clones were trapped in black energy, all struggling and protesting. Focusing, the half-demon sorceress said her signature phrase. "Azarath Metrione Zinthos!" And with that, all the clones vanished, like they never existed. She then went to grab the paper that further exasperated the problem and disintegrated it. The angered female titan turned to Beast Boy and Cyborg with her four red eyes, prompting Robin and Starfire to move away. "You two sure have given me one bad day with your buffoonery. Cyborg tricks me, he takes one of my spells to clone Beast Boy, whom one by himself is a headache all by himself, and the Titan Tower has almost been taken over because you..." She pointed a black tentacle at the sweating, terrified metal teenager, her body growing taller and more menacing with each passing second. "...wanted to get out of playing with Beast Boy. You just couldn't leave well alone, could you? Well, now I'll have to teach you a lesson you'll never forget." It was then that Starfire and Robin got in her way before she could maul them.
"Friend Raven, they have already learnt the lesson that they can be a little thoughtless!" Starfire defended.
"She's right! Whatever punishment you have in mind, at least tone it down so that they are properly punished by cleaning up the mess they made!"
"Yeah, I'm sorry Raven! I won't psyche you like that again!" Cyborg pleaded on his knees.
"Yeah, what he said! I'll try being less of a slob!" Beast Boy cried. After considering it, Raven calmed down reverting back to her regular size.
"Okay. I won't change your dental work or rip you in half. But..." The sorceress's eyes glowed white as she snapped her fingers. Blackness surrounded their bodies so that everything except Cyborg's head and hidden body of wires were left as he fell to the floor with a yelp, and it seemed like nothing happened with the shapeshifter, until Raven finished her sentence. "You can't use your metal body to cheat, and you can't change into animals until everything is cleaned up. Oh, and Beast Boy, all of us need new toothpaste." And with that, she went back into her room.
"Toothpaste?" Robin asked confused. Beast Boy then laughed.
"Oh man, she must've use the exploding toothpaste gag." He kept laughing until he was silenced by the stares by everyone. "I'll get the broom." He finished nervously before running into the kitchen.
A/N: Hmm, I have to admit, while most of it was the same, I'm please with what I did even without much help. If it wasn't obvious, the Space Rings game is basically Halo since 'Invasion of the Bubble Bots' sounds like a SpongeBob game. Tell me what you think,
