A/N: Just to let you guys know, I don't know what quality this is going to be so I apologize if this last holiday disappoints you.
"Eeeee! It's Easter! I can't wait to eat all that chocolate and candy!" Lizzy squealed as she jumped across their room at the orphanage.
"Yeah, I wonder what they're going to do. A party? And Easter egg hunt?" Steven pondered out loud, laying on his bed.
"Eh, I can take it or leave it." Lynn shrugged, leaning against their door. "Easter does represent when Christians pretty much took over the Pagans committing cultural genocide. What's there to celebrate." Lynn sighed as he blew a bubble before blowing it up.
"Well, we don't have to focus on the religious side." Sophie told him quietly, playing a game of with Devrie. "We can just do the candy and bunnies."
"Hmm." The emo tween hummed in contemplation.
"Oh don't think of the holiday like that." Lizzy tried to sling an arm over his shoulder, but failed because of his higher height. "It's not like kids outside of Christian families focus on the religious aspect. The one thing that kids focus on is-
"-Candy eggs?" Robin spoke into his communicator, asking where the titans have placed them.
"I have delivered mine at the central park." Starfire answered upside down as she placed a purple egg into a nest filled with actual bird eggs.
"Arcade for me, baby! Booyah!" Cyborg yelled cheerfully, placing a blue egg into a claw machine.
"At the zoo, dudes! Made sure the animals won't get to them." Beast Boy replied as he walked out of the gate.
"Easter Eggs hidden in the amusement park." Jinx said, leaving a pink egg underneath a cotton candy vendor box.
"Pizza Corner." Raven replied, putting a red egg on the top of an umbrella. "Say, how come we don't come here anymore?"
"It fell out of style in 2012 when Zippy's Pizza was founded." Robin explained. "It has the better tasting cheese, toppings, has more said toppings on their pizza and costs a third of Pizza Corner due to also has a food distribution company under the family company. It's like Tiny Alexander's Pizza, though tastier. Anyway, are all the eggs laid out?"
"Yeah." They all agreed.
"Great." Robin smiled. "Well, now that we gave the kids something to do, let's go watch a movie."
"Hey Star, while you're out, could go to the store to get some more chocolate, paper and glue and meet us at the pier?" Cyborg asked his teammate.
"Why do you need those specifically?" She asked, but only heard chuckling.
"You'll know." Hanging up, she went to buy the requested items, and brought them to Cyborg and Beast Boy. "Great, thanks Star. Could you also use your super speed to make a paper volcano?"
"Sure?" Starfire agreed, if confused before crafting a large papier-mache volcano. "Could you now please explain what this is for?
"Well, Cy and I figured we could have a bit of fun with the teens." Beast Boy said with a grin. "After they gather all the eggs, they come here, and we make them think we're giving them a chocolate volcano fountain as well."
"Only we're making a chocolate cannon and thus make a...sweet prank on them." The boys chuckled while high-fiving each other, but Starfire gasped.
"Why would you do such a thing?! That would not only waste the chocolates but even greatly annoy our friends!"
"Well, it may tick Lynn and maybe Devrie off, but I'm sure the others won't be too angry." Cyborg shrugged. Starfire hmphed and turned to fly away.
"Very well, but do not be the surprised if they wish to turn your metal body into goo or blown up by a sea of bubbles." The alien princess flew away to the tower.
"Man, she just doesn't get the point of pranks bro." Beast Boy shook his head. "It's like the only one she's ever gotten into was convincing me I died that while back."
"I think it's just unprovoked pranks she doesn't like. Why mess with someone if they haven't earned it?"
"Dude, with pranks, no one is innocent. They just don't find perfect targets and opportunities as some others, like us. I mean, I've pranked everybody in the tower at least five times except Star and Jinx. Starfire for obvious reasons and Jinx because unlike Raven she wouldn't hold back on her threats, and I'd rather not be maimed and crippled in retaliation."
"That at least shows there's some common sense in your booger brain, Grass Stain." As Cyborg laughed while holding off the irritated changeling, Mumbo poked his head around the corner of a warehouse and grinned evilly.
"Interesting. I was going to see if there was any valuables I could steal, but this sounds much more amusing.
Steve, Lynn, Devrie, Lizzy and Sophie in their costumes were lined up while Robin, Starfire, Raven and Jinx gazed down at them. Robin started.
"Alright Tween Titans, here is one of your first real missions. Your objective? Find all of the Easter eggs throughout the city."
"By using a bomb detection device, you have found the eggs to be placed at the park that is central, the arcade, the zoo, the amusement park, and one of the few remaining Pizza Corners in the city." Starfire listed.
"You have 30 minutes to find all the eggs, or all of the locations will be blown up, and everyone will die." Jinx chuckled at the added dark bit.
"Not really, but you get what we mean." Raven clarified. "What will you do?"
"I'll investigate the zoo. My size abilities will prove useful reaching any hard spots." Steve volunteered.
"I'll take Lynn so we can investigate the park!" Lizzy shouted with glee. "And then the arcade." Lynn shrugged. Devrie pointed to the amusement park.
"I guess I'll look at the pizzas." Sophie accepted.
"Then good luck, and if you accomplish the mission in less than 30 minutes, there will be a special treat for you all." The half-demon sorceress concluded as she handed them baskets before snapping her fingers, and a portal opened up below the Tweens.
"Alright guys, we have some eggs to find. Titans GO!" Steve yelled as they ran in different directions, except for Lynn and Lizzy who produced a bed of bubbles and touched to animate them so that they could float to the park.
Steve(secretly) entered through the zoo gates and looked around, though no eggs stood out from this stand point.
"Hmm, if I were a bunch of eggs where would I be?" Analyzing the area, he spotted the lizard house, making the boy grin. Going over to it, he found some eggs hidden in some of the habitats, but they were protected by glass. Thinking on how to proceed, he looked up to see a ventilation shaft. Aiming his hand at the cover, it shank so that it fell out of the square. Growing to grab onto an edge, he then shrank to a third of his normal size to get the basket and himself in easily.
Once Lively Lizzy and Bubboom reached the park, Lizzy got to work as she touched the grass, whom started coming alive.
"Bubboom, follow the bubbles so that they'll find the eggs. The grass will help search with me." He nodded to her instruction as they looked. "Hey grass, help me find some eggs please!"
Devrie landed right in the middle of the amusement park, having retrieved a egg from the top of a carousel, and smelled for her next egg. Detecting a far away piece of chocolate, she looked to detect it was in between the woodworks of a rollercoaster at the highest point. Crouching down before taking a big leap towards the roller coaster, she landed on the side and took the egg, just then feeling the vibrations of the roller coaster coming. Figuring that she shouldn't stick around, she leapt off. However, as Devrie landed and walked away, she heard shouts of excitement turn to horror as something malfunctioned and the rollercoaster started jittering out of control, threatening to derail. Dropping the basket, Insectiva jumped towards where the coaster was heading. Landing on a low point, she waited for it to come to her. Just as it would seem like the flea girl would be run over, she jumped ever so slightly and was now along for the ride as she planted her feet onto the front car. Quickly moving to the back, Insectiva flipped over the last seats so that she clung to the back, and placed her feet onto the tracks, breaking through the wood as the planks broke before her feet. Thankfully Devrie always wears heavy duty boots to increase her kicking power, because it was likely her bare feet couldn't withstand the prolonged pressure of trying to slow a rollercoaster. Thankfully, by the time they reached three fourth's of the track, her constant resistance to the forward force of the coaster slowed to a much more manageable speed, and eventually stopped together. Letting go of the back of the car, Insectiva panted, needing a moment from being a hero for a very stressful minute.
Softie stood on the upper lever of the Pizza Corner, seeing the egg that was on top of the umbrella table. Placing the basket down, she climbed onto the table to grabbed the umbrella. Tilting it over with her power, the egg rolled off the top so that it landed in the basket. Smiling, she straightened the umbrella up and walked out.
Lizzy and Lynn entered the arcade, and found many eggs there, even one as a prize behind the counter listed under 1000 tickets for the Tween titans only.
"So, how do you suppose we'll be able to get to that?" Bubboom asked his friend.
"Leave it to me." Lively Lizzy giggled as she went to get some tokens. Going to the skee ball game, she put in the tokens to get the balls, and touched each one. "Go into the center hole please." She told the skee balls, and they happily walked up the inclined plane and dunked themselves in. Then going over to the crane game, she touched the arcade game, allowing it to generate eyes, which looked down at Lizzy.
"Lynn, you handle this station. I'll give the skee balls more tickets while I play the giant wheel."
As the Tween Titans met in the center of the city, half of the team was surprised to see that Lizzy, Devrie and Lynn were not just carrying their baskets, but a couple of big boons of prizes.
"Whoa, what did you guys do?!" Steve gasped.
"I'm not sure about Devrie but we sure made the arcade a whole lot...livelier." Lizzy chuckled at her joke. Lynn rolled his eyes.
"Really?"
"It was a good joke. I stand by it like I stand by everything I like."
"Sweet, not only did we get everything withing 30 minutes but we have a lot of cool stuff!" Steve cheered. Most of them celebrated before the ground started to shake. To the South, a mountain of sorts started to burst up, pushing buildings out of the way.
"What is that?!" Sophie gasped. "A volcano?!"
"We need to save anybody that's over there!" Steve yelled as they ran towards the phenomena. However, what they found was something they couldn't have predicted. It was a giant volcano, made of paper. And in between the layers of paper was people screaming for help, along with a trapped Beast Boy and Cyborg's head, missing his body. "Don't worry, we'll get you out!" Steve-O-Size told them, but just as they tried to rescue the people, cards were thrown at their feet which exploded, halting them.
"Well, look what we have here. The Tiny Titans." A voice chuckled. They looked up to see Mumbo Jumbo hovering above them. "Those regular brats are quite an audience for me to beat, but there's no way that a bunch of kids will beat me.
"We'll beat you, you weird looking magician!" Lizzy proclaimed.
"Uh uh uh, one step and I'll set the volcano off, drowning all these people in chocolate!"
"Chocolate?" Lynn asked in sheer confusion, his eyebrow raised.
"Yeah, it was prank for you guys, just for laughs." Beast Boy replied.
"You know how it is."
"Uh, no. That would just be a waste of good chocolate." Bubboom replied.
"Yeah, we'd get chocolate in all sorts of uncomfortable places!" Lively Lizzy told them off now looking annoyed. Even Devrie shook her head disapprovingly.
"Aw man." Cyborg bemoaned.
"Alright enough!" Mumbo yelled. "Now, what are you going to do? Run or-Yipe!" The blue skinned magician yelped as he barely dodged a jumping tackle from Insectiva, whom rebounded off the magically enlarged volcano. "Fine then! I'll show you how it's unwise to mess with a magician! Hocus-augh!" His feet were grabbed when Steve-O-Size, who was now three times bigger, took hold of his feet and slammed the old man down into the ground. Pulling a card from his sleeve, Mumbo made it grow large and used it as a shield against the huge tween. "Alakazam!" Spinning the card, Steve-O-Size got caught up in the card as it began to shrink down to a normal card. Picking it up, it had Steve trapped in it. "Looks like the joker's on you kid." Laughing at his joke, he then stopped when he heard the sound of paper ripping, and looked to see Bubboom making the paper wet while Softie made the immediate paper around a captive soft enough to break free. "Hey, hands off!" Mumbo yelled as he drew three rings from his jacket and threw it at the little girl. Noticing this, Lynn pushed his teammate out of the way, and was subdued when the rings connected and shrunk around his neck and wrists close to his neck, forcing the emo kid to fall down and roll towards the ground painfully.
"No!" Softie cried out. Believing there was no way for her to beat the magician, she tried running away, but a rope of colorful handkerchiefs caught her legs, and she screamed as she was dragged back straight to Mumbo.
"I heard you can make things soft. So how about I show you the magic of petrification?!" He laughed evilly as he was going to incapacitate the frightened girl. "Abra kadab-ow!" Mumbo was unable complete the spell as he swatted the back of his neck. Looking at his hand, it was a dead bug. Then he noticed that the air around him was starting to be crowded with bugs in every direction. "Hey, get away you winged pests!" He used his wand to create a big flash, disintegrating each insect, but he was so distracted he didn't notice when Insectiva double air kicked him away from Softie. Not enough to kill the guy, but strong enough to fall into a set of living clothing as they tangled around him. "What is-?!" Mumbo Jumbo was gagged by a ball of underwear while tube socks wrapped around his hands, pants kept his legs together, and a hoodie jacket covered the rest of his face, along with other clothing keeping him down.
"Now!" Lizzy said to Devrie. The bug girl picked up the want with both hands at each end, and kicked the middle, rendering the weapon useless. Everything was going back to normal as Steve burst from the card, Lynn's restraints broke apart, Mumbo returning to normal and the volcano slowly returning to regular size, letting everyone free. Insectiva freed Softie while all the rest of the Tween Titans regrouped.
"We did it! We beat Mumbo!" Lizzy cheered. The rest of them celebrated, even Lynn as he smiled and laughed.
"You did great dudes!" Beast Boy told them as he walked up to them carrying Cyborg's head.
"Yeah, now that's what I call a performance! Booyah!" Just then, the rest of the titans came.
"Oh, is it already over?" Starfire asked.
"Yeah, the magic guy's wrapped up there." Lizzy pointed to Mumbo, who was now a regular old man again.
"Hehe, nice kids." Jinx chuckled before going to him. "Hey Mumbo, you still owe me that money! I've got you now this time!"
"Wow, I'm impressed you kids took down Mumbo even though none of you have magic." Raven complimented the team.
"Looks like this calls for a celebration. Let's party at the tower!" Robin declared. Everyone agreed to that.
A/N: Sorry it took so long. I've been preparing for end of the school year stuff and I'm graduating from a college program. Next autumn I'm going to be going to regular college now. Anyway, that concludes the Holiday Marathon. I hope you enjoyed the past several chapters. Let me know what you think of this one.
