Hello this is my first attempt at writing something like this and before this story starts, I just wanted to say a couple things. This is something I wrote for my own enjoyment after reading similar stories I wanted to create my own for myself and others to enjoy. This story follows a similar path to the original show with alterations to the main storyline. The OC of this story is more of a self-insert more than anything as the character is modeled after me with his looks and personality in most aspects. Before I go any further, I would like to give a massive shout out to the three stories "Teen Titans: One of Four Elements", "Teen Titans: A Titan from Outta this World" and Teen Titans: The Bonds We Share these three stories were big inspirations and you should check them all out. However, I did not plagiarize from these stories I only used scripts from the episodes. Lastly if you do give this story an opportunity and decide to read, thank you and I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it and if you don't, I would love to hear your feedback. Teen Titans and the DC universe is property of Warner Brothers the only thing I own is me, enjoy.
Chapter One: GO
Earth could be seen far away in outer space. Peering into the starry vastness you would see a rather odd-looking red spaceship flying casually in the void. Its fuselage in the shape of a large, rounded disc, with a narrow spindle topped by a circular projection standing dead center on the upper surface, which appeared to be the bridge. Several spikes extended from the diameter on either side, while two larger ones pointed straight ahead to flank the main gun.
Inside the ship, the sound of a drawn-out, muffled, blood-curdling scream could be heard. A closed steel door slid open and exposed a corridor where two winged reptilian humanoids with long tails, armed with a long spear, marched through. These creatures had a face that resembled that of a skull, with narrow red eyes, and red lines that ran across the edges of their faces. They were covered in dark green scales and wore faded gold colored armor. As they approached a closed door at the far end of the corridor, passing by beasts and creatures to fowl to mention. The sound of a feral growl and pounding of distant fists against a wall was heard.
The two reptilian creatures reached the door; it opened to reveal two more reptiles posted at a steel-fronted cell with spears crossed. There was a glass slot that allowed the guards to look through the door at the captive. The screams came louder and more intense as they got closer, and the pounding grew ever stronger. "The door will hold?" One of the reptilian aliens asked the two guards.
"It must." One guard responded as more screaming and banging was heard from behind the cell. "The alien will be delivered on schedule. Lord Trogarr has demanded it" The other guard added as he straightened his spear. The pounding became even greater against the cell door as it slowly gave way to the constant banging it was receiving. The four reptilian guards turned to see this. "And if this thing gets loose?" The fourth alien asked, noticing that the glass slot on the door cracked.
"Then Zorg help us all." One of the reptilian aliens who were guarding the cell answered.
At that moment, one final piercing scream rang through the corridor, the glass slot on the door finally breaking, and two burning green eyes rose into view behind it. The guards took a few steps back, bracing themselves for anything and everything. One last yell rang out and the door blew outward off its hinges, blowing back with enough force to be sent flying at the four guards and crashing down the corridor. They moved the door and looked back at the now open prison cell. At first, they saw nothing but total darkness, but soon after, the green eyes ignited again, and their owner stepped out into the light.
The light revealed a young orange skinned female, with long auburn red hair. Over her forehead and around her face, she wore a vaguely M-shaped face guard that reached around her jaw. Around her neck she wore a silver pauldron with a black broach-like object above her chest. She also had silver shoulder pads, and her arms, stomach, and thighs were covered in purplish-segmented body armor. She wore a black form fitting tank top that stopped above her where her midriff would be, a black skirt with a silver belt, and thigh-length boots with silver trim around her thighs as well as her soles. In addition to all this, her hands and forearms were encased in thick, rigid, bulky white and black-trimmed cuffs, leaving her elbows free and held in place by a bolt that met where her hands would be. "Zengtha ru maka!" The orange skinned prisoner screamed, "Kek zengtha ror!" The next thing the four guards knew, their prisoner was flying toward them faster than they could react.
The four reptilian aliens quickly readied themselves with their spears, but it was too late, as the obviously pissed orange skinned prisoner swung both forearms in a wild roundhouse, knocking one of the guards against the wall, leaving a crater in it as he slid to the ground. "Zengtha ru maka! Kek zengtha ror!" She roared as she swung wildly again, this time dispatching two more of the guards. The prisoner then tried an uppercut against the last guard, but the reptilian guard was able to block the attack with his spear, knocking her back.
The guard swung his spear to counterattack, but the red-haired female swung her cuffs again, perpendicular to the spear, breaking the shaft in two. She followed up with a kick to the head of the final guard, knocking him back into a control panel on the wall. As he slid down, red lights and sirens started going berserk, triggered by the breaking of the panel. "Heska vo." The female prisoner whispered viciously as she ran down the now open door.
From the outside of the ship, a section of the lower hull blew apart while the escaped prisoner flew out through the smoke and flame. An instant later, she put a lot of distance between herself and her captors, making a beeline to the blue planet the ship was passing by.
It was nighttime in Jump City as its bay could be seen a dark and deserted island sitting off the coast.
Peering into the city proper, sirens could be heard wailing in the distance as a figure runs along the sidewalk and ducks into an alley, looking closer a sack could be seen in his hand bulging with ill gotten gains. Looking back to the mouth of the alley, just in time to see the squad cars race past as the burglar eyed his sack with a smug look on his face. Walking further into the alley he suddenly stops as a shadow quickly passes over him.
"Huh," with his free hand the burglar pulled out a crowbar brandishing it uncertainly as he looked around the alleyway. Something flashing from the rooftops, becoming a birdarang which clanged against the crowbar throwing it from the burglar's grip.
"I don't want trouble, okay?" he stammered backing away in fear. A black blur drops into view behind him, turning to see a pair of eyes staring at him through the darkness. The burglar threw up his arms to protect his face as a bat squeaked past. Lowering his arms, he heard a voice call out to him from the shadows.
"You should've thought of that before you committed the crime."
Advancing toward him before breaking into a full sprint, the figures high kick found his chin sending the burglar back. Regaining his composure the burglar charges the shadowed figure, easily blocking the wild punches thrown at him, the figure delivers a strike to the stomach the burglar sent to the floor in pain. The figure seemingly not satisfied, bounds up a wall and pushes away for a boost upward, the move carrying him over the burglar's shoulders grabbing him and throwing him into a body slam.
Grabbing the burglar, and throwing him against the wall, the criminal, barely able to stay on his feet as he slides down. "Hey! This isn't your town! Aren't you supposed to be with-?" Moving closer the figure interrupted, "Just moved here. And from now on. I work alone. As the sound of a beating could be heard up in the heavens a bright green streak was slicing through the night sky. Following a path directly over the alley as it disappeared behind the buildings on the far end of the street, a muffled explosion, heard in the distance as a pale green glare shone in the figure's eyes.
The young hero's masked eyes narrow for a moment; he then regards the collapsed petty thief. The sound of whiplash from a rope whistling through the alley before Robin sprints off towards the end of the alley. The still unconscious robber now upside down securely bound by rope hanging in the alley as Robin hoisted himself over the wall at a dead end disappearing into the night.
In the streets of Jump City a figure could be seen walking down a dilapidated street in its slums. He was wearing a worn jacket with sweatpants, sneakers that were more holes than shoe and a black baseball hat. He seemed to look younger but was tall and lanky, his hat hiding most of his face in shadow. As he kept walking going nowhere in particular a smell caught his attention, "pizza," he said almost drooling, his stomach rumbling as he reached into his pockets only to reveal nothing. "Uhhh," he groaned "I am not eating whatever slop the shelter has tonight," he complained. Just then he spotted something on the ground, as he walked over to it, he gasped before scooping it up, "yes" he cheered pumping his fist as he looked at the dollar. Looking around almost expecting to see someone before turning his eyes back to the dollar. Don't stand here, he thought before he started sprinting towards the pizza joint, he knew was nearby.
As he turned the corner he saw it, he knew this place, it was weirdly shaped like a pizza, but he didn't really care as he scrambled to the back of the line. Eagerly waiting he was almost jumping with excitement before it was finally his turn. "One slice, oh and with extra pepperoni," he said before handing over the dollar. As he waited for his food he looked up at the night sky where he saw a little green flash, "I already got my wish," he said grabbing his slice of pizza. Bringing it to his nose he took a deep breath, letting the smell wash over him, "You have no idea how long I've waited for you," he said pointing to the pizza. As he brought the pizza to his mouth a sudden blast of air and dust hit him as well as a deafening boom throwing him back.
Opening his eyes, he looked around, a ringing in his ears as he got up, he stopped as he saw a massive crater in front of him, a deep green glow coming from within. As the green smoke that had covered the crater began to dissipate, he saw a girl in its center. "What the?" he almost gasped as he fell on his back the girl rising from the crater her eyes glowing green.
"Slopforn ivormat," the girl said as she slid down a slab approaching the growing crowd of people causing them to back away. "Slopforn! Ond gudshik zerrole!" she began growling at a person trying to hold his camera straight and take a picture, when he did the shutter clicking and the inevitable flash sent the girl recoiling from the glare squeezing her eyes shut. "You moron," the kid grunted from the ground before the girl reopened her eyes, still blazing as strongly as they were and began swinging her arms with a fresh yell. The onlookers began backing up even farther before the girl pounded the pavement hard enough to punch through to dirt sending everyone breaking for cover.
A yell and a flash could be seen before a taxi was rendered ready for the scrap pile. Destroying everything around her, people from the second-floor balcony of the pizza place watched while the floor beneath them began to shake. When the assault finally seemed to come to an end the girl just stood quietly observing the destruction she had caused before she felt something hit her side. Turning her head to see a person with a mad expression, "Hey, you ruined my dinner," he said as the girl tilted her head to the side perplexed, "Do you know how long I waited for that?" He yelled earning a grunt from the girl, "And your little explosion blew away my hat, I really liked that hat," he yelled almost exasperatedly while pointing to his head. Without his hat you could clearly see it was the boy from earlier his face now revealed, he had green eyes and brown hair that stopped just above his eyes. The girl, almost seeming to lose her patience lifted her arms and strained to pull them apart.
Giving up, the girl's eyes turned towards the front door of the pizza joint where a pillar stood supporting the leading tip of the balcony. She hurls herself at it slamming into it hard enough for it to buckle and crack. Spectators on the railing could barely stay on their feet due to the resulting vibrations. After a couple more swings the pillars concrete covering had crumbled away revealing the dented metal core but the bonds on the girls' arms were still intact.
"Hey, where not done," a voice called out to the girl from behind, as the boy cautiously stepped over a piece of smoldering rubble. "I'm still mad at you," he said pointing at the girl before looking at the thing on her arms. Almost like the whole situation had hit him the boy paused before asking, "Wait what are you?". The girl only grunted before slamming her arms against the column again, yelling the words, "Zop! Yark! Mensef!" The column began to buckle further and further with each hit, "Hey wait there are people up there." The boy said being drowned out by the sound of the cuffs slamming into metal, "Stop," he now yelled to no avail as even he could barely hear himself against the slamming. After the last one the column gave way significantly, the balcony that rested above it lost its support throwing the people against the railing as it tilted to the street. As the girl rose her hands for one last swing, the boy cried out "enough!" as something collided with her side causing her to double over. Dropping the pipe, he was holding as he clutched his hand, "ahhhh," he groaned, "how did hitting you hurt me more?" he asked himself as the girl rose back up a grin on her face. "Oh crap," the boy said as she brought her arms down where he stood.
Lifting up her arms expecting to see the boy crushed she let out a confused grunt as she looked and saw nothing but cracked pavement. "Wow your aim is terrible," she heard him say from inside the pizza joint to her only to turn and see a wall. Searching around her in vain she heard a faint whistling as something collided with her crown knocking her completely off balance. Glaring back at the source of the bird-a-rang on the floor letting loose a threating growl.
Across the street standing atop the roof of a parked car was the spikey-haired teen with the deadeye aim. Standing with his arms behind his cape that was draped over his shoulders before throwing it back and bracing for a fight.
"Who are you?" he asked. But instead of getting an answer the girl leapt across the street bringing her arms crashing down splintering the pavement. Jumping clear just in time the Boy Wonder continued to be forced back by one roundhouse after another. In a nearby alley a blue-cloaked figure watched as Robin leapt above the girl slinging a handful of grenades which detonated on her face blinding her as the figure from the alley quietly observes their face impossible to read.
The smoke from Robin's grenades dissipated quickly revealing the glowing green eyes of the alien. Hooking one foot under a car, the girl effortlessly kicks it up several feet in the air, the car's nose pointed towards the ground. Just when the car is about to collide with the ground the alien boots it towards the Boy Wonder who throws himself to the ground to avoid the flying vehicle that sails past him exploding against a building at the end of the street.
"Hmm, stronger than she looks," The Boy Wonder said to himself.
Facing forward his eyes almost popped out of his skull as the alien decks him across the face throwing him as he skids across the ground all the way to the pizza place just to see her leaping for another hit. This time however all the alien hit was air as Robin dives away pulling out his fighting staff and extending it to full length. At last, on the offensive Robin connected with her head sending her flying into a parked car. Getting back up and brandishing his staff only for it crumble in his hand as if it were made of glass.
"Huh?" The Boy wonder said looking at his hand as the sound of the now very angry alien pulling herself from the car drew his eyes back to her. Flashing a little smile as she cracked her neck she said, "Zota," before leaping in the air for another strike. But before she reduced the Boy Wonder to dust a green bighorn sheep rammed into her side broadsiding her. The sheep then morphed, turning into a boy, a green one with a black and purple outfit complete with a mask, sneakers and grey gloves that was even shorter than Robin.
Flashing Robin a salute the boy said, "Ex-Doom patrol member Beast Boy, sir! How can I help? The boy's eyes suddenly popping, "Wowzers! You're Robin, aren't you sir?" The salute that had stopped due to excitement was immediately reestablished by the little green shapeshifter. "Well, you can start by not calling me sir." Robin replied, as the green boy had sparkles in his eyes gleaming with pure admiration.
"Well, let me just say that it's a real honor to be—" Beast Boy said before he was cut off by Robin, "Beast Boy was it? "Yes sir," Beast Boy responded as Robin pointed behind the green changeling as the orange alien that had recovered from the bighorn ram charge was hoisting a bus over her head before throwing it at the two. The two bolted in opposite directions as a large figure in a hooded grey sweatshirt and black pants took their place standing in front of the incoming bus. Instead of being crushed into the pavement the figure caught it his heels digging into the road. Slowly but surely the bus is brought to a halt and lifted it up by the bumper. The figure holding the bus had a glowing red light emerge from under their hood as he heaved the bus off to the side.
"Yo! Who's here messing up my neighborhood? The figure said as Beast Boy slid up behind him. "She started it," the green boy said pointing ahead. Standing among the debris and wreckage she had created the resolve and determination she had returned to her face as she brought up both of her arms before hammering them into the pavement sending all three boys to the floor just as the restraints that were around her arms fell to the ground dented and smoking. As the girl brought her arms up the remaining forearm restraints still holding her arms close together as the green glow from her eyes began to shine in her fists, the three look in surprise as the alien uncorks a Gatling gun attack, firing bolts of energy, throwing up enough smoke to cover the entire street. After a long tense moment, the three emerge from the smoke as the alien continues her attack.
As the alien girl was firing her bolts of energy at the three sending them scrambling for cover she heard a voice taunt her from the shadows. "I think I still landed the hardest hit," the girl growled as she recognized the voice from earlier turning to fire in its direction. "Even worse aim than before, maybe you should put the cuffs back on," she heard him say as she turned to where she heard the voice taunt her once again. Confused the girl looked around, her eyes searching before she locked onto something, a dark figure standing under a streetlight. "So you finally see me," the figure quipped before the girl unleashed her attack sending waves of bolts at the figure reducing the pavement to dust.
Finally, the girl seemed satisfied or too tired to continue as the bolts stopped, the girl had a triumphant smirk on her face. Only for her face to fall as the figure still stood right where it had before in the newly formed crater. "Like I said terrible aim," the boy said as he started walking towards her. The girl grunted in determination as she let loose another barrage only for the bolts to pass right through the boy, seeming to have no effect on him as he drew closer. The girl kept firing only stopping when the boy was right in front of her but the sight of him caused the girl to back away as the figure in front of her was pitch black almost composed of pure darkness, the same figure of the boy from earlier could be seen, wisps of what looked like shadow rolling off his body like smoke. "You okay," the dark figure said as he began circling her, "You seem shocked, need to lie down?" his voice dripping with sarcasm as the girl growled at him swinging her arms at him only for them to fly right through him like he wasn't there. The girl looked at her hands as if they weren't hers, "the boy leaned close to her before whispering, "He looks like he wants to talk to you," causing to girl to look up in front of her seeing the Boy Wonder approaching her as the shadow backed away disappearing from view.
Raising her arms in front of her green light glowing in her fists, causing Robin to back off a few paces. "Gokta!" she said as she glanced where the shadow had once been, "Easy. My name is Robin, and I don't want to hurt you." He said as he eased his hand towards his utility belt, "I just want to help." As he pulled out a tool the girl seemed to reaching her limit with increasingly shallow breaths escaping her. "Gokta!" she said leaning in, "Gokta buhovna!" The girl said as she brought her fists almost directly in front of the Boy Wonder's face "It's okay look." Robin said holding up a lockpick.
Gently pushing down the now calm girl's arms, Robin put the lockpick to work. After a few seconds of tweaking the girl looks down to see her shackles fall free and thump down on the ground. The girl began to message her wrists wonderingly, "There. Now maybe we can be—" The Boy Wonder started to say before the girl grabbed him by the collar and kissed him causing Robin to drop his lockpick. Opening her eyes before letting him go shoving Robin to the ground falling on his back as the girl in English said, "If you do not wish to be destroyed, you will leave me alone!
The girl then takes off disappearing into the night sky as the now four people on the ground were all left in disbelief. There was a long silence among the group before the green changeling broke it, "So… I'm Beast Boy. Who are you?" he asked the hulking figure.
As the four stood on the street recouping from the recent attack the large figure now known as Cyborg said, "Well, whoever she was… the girl sure knows how to make an impression." "I think we made a good impression. Crazy space girl's gone, the city's saved, mission accomplished. Right, sir?" Beast Boy asked only for Robin to respond, "Seriously, stop calling me—" was a far as he got before he was interrupted by the sound of sarcastic clapping from the rooftop of the pizza place where the boy from earlier sat with his hat on and a box of pizza in his hand. "Oh, you guys did great, I mean just a bang-up job," he said giving a thumbs up, "only about five million in property damage and a terrified populous, what more could you do," he said before taking a bite from his pizza.
"What exactly did you do to help?" The Cyborg asked challengingly, "Hey I was the first one to hit her and I… landed the best shot." He said with a pause as he took another bite, "have you been up there the whole time?" Beast Boy asked in disbelief. "Uh no, while you guys were hiding behind that bus," he said pointing to the smoking wreck, "I was distracting her," he said before he disappeared, being replaced with the shadow from before causing the three boys to back away, only the blue cloaked figure known as Raven staying still, looking up in curiosity. "That was you?" Robin asked treating the dark figure warily, "No it was the other guy," the boy said as he floated down to the street wisps of darkness trailing off his body like wind was blowing them off. "Who are you," Beast Boy asked as he felt tempted to hide behind Cyborg again. "Oh, right," he said before extending a shadowy hand, "I'm Tyler," he said before his dark form began to almost fade returning him to his normal form his hand still outstretched. "Al…right," he said pulling back his hand, "well just continue your conversation," he said before pulling up his hoodie and pulling the drawstrings closed, "I'm invisible," he said in a childish voice causing all in the group to look at him like he was a ticking time bomb.
Suddenly Robin began to walk off, "Looks like were done here. I appreciate the help." He said as he walked father along. "You're gonna track down that alien?" Raven asked the Boy Wonder with him only responding, "I have to find out if she's a threat." "More like find out if she'll give him another kiss." Cyborg whispered to the others, "Goodbye, don't die," Tyler said from behind his closed hood, waving goodbye to the Boy Wonder. At this, Beast Boy began running after the departing teen, who stopped at his approach. "Hey, sir...uh… I mean, Robin? Do you maybe-?" The green boy trailed off. "Sorry. I just went solo. I'm not really looking to join a team." As Robin continued walking away. "Need a sidekick?" Beast Boy called out failing to stop the Boy Wonder, causing him to walk back to the others.
"You guys wanna get a pizza?" Beast Boy asked the others which earned him a sideways glance from Raven. "I shouldn't," she said before heading off. Beast Boy turning towards Tyler who had a pizza box in hand with an expectant look in his eye made the boy turn away from him shielding the pizza from the green changeling, "I'm not sharing," he said as he pet the pizza box like an animal. "Just you and me, then, huh? Cool," Beast Boy said as he circled Cyborg, "I-I haven't really had anybody to hang out with since I quit the Doom Patrol. This is gonna be fun. Can we play video game-?" His last word was cut off as he ran into the back of the big man, who suddenly stopped dead. Cyborg suddenly reached for his hood pulling it back to unveil his full face revealing he was true to his name showing his mechanical eye and half his mechanical face along with the still intact side. "There! Take a good, long look! I had an accident, and now, I'm a monster, all right? A Cyborg!"
Beast Boy paused for a moment before, "Cyborg? Cool!" he said as he jumped on the giant's shoulders, "You're like Robot Man 2.0" the changeling said almost zipping around his body. "You're a weird, little dude, you know that?" The Cyborg replied flatly. "I agree with the short green person," Tyler said catching the Cyborg's attention, "You did catch a bus, and I mean you haven't tried to kill me yet so were cool." He said, shooting a finger gun at him as he tossed away his now empty pizza box. "Hey, I am not short," Beast Boy replied with a huff pouting, the taller teen simply standing close to the shapeshifter to illustrate his point. "Whatever, so… see you later. Right, dude." He said to the Cyborg as he pulled up his hood and began to walk away, "Dude?" he tried again only for a huge round shadow to envelop the entire area causing the three to look up to the sky, "DUDE!" Beast Boy cried out as the shadow passed over them.
The ship that the alien girl had escaped from was passing over the city blocking the sky before settling over a small, deserted island in the middle of the bay. A hatch then opened on the underside of the ship where a large cylindrical capsule launched toward the water imbedding itself in the island's rock.
Cutting back to the three on the city street staring in shock before Cyborg broke the silence, "Looks like space girl has friends." He said just as Robin appeared almost like he teleported, "or enemies." He said as Tyler pointed towards where Robin had just been to where he was now with a very confused look before simply shrugging and looking back at the flying headquarters. Just then a bolt of energy shot through the capsule splitting it in two, the energy disappearing as a colossal hologram replaced them, static interfering before the hologram took the shape of a lizard man, alien thing wearing a crown. "People of Earth! We come to your planet hunting an escaped prisoner, a very dangerous prisoner." His voice rang out across the city terrifying the already scared populous as Raven returned joining the other four as they continued to stare at the hologram. "Do not interfere, and we will leave your city with minimal damage. But if you attempt to assist her…" he said before the hologram glitched, "you will be destroyed." He finished the image disappearing as the two split beams flashed back up merging into one and a loud humming sound could be heard from the ship.
"That's a big ship." The cyborg said as a hatch on the underside of the ship opened up letting loose a hoard of similar looking lizard aliens in full battle gear. "And those are some scary looking aliens." Beast Boy said as the lizard warriors sprouted wings from their back and started to fly toward the city. "They told us not to interfere," the blue cloaked girl said as the aliens began to approach the city. Looking up the teens than stared at the Boy Wonder fairly certain of what he was planning, "You're still going after her, aren't you?" The cyborg asked Robin, "Can we come too?" Beast Boy asked that hopeful twinkle returning to his eyes. A smile crept onto Robins face as he answered, "I suppose I could team up just this once." Similar smiles began to pop up on the others' faces except for Raven and Tyler, the mage looking down at her feet not daring to face anyone. "You in?" the Boy Wonder asked the two. A long pause filled the air as all eyes fell on the two before Raven partly turned away, "I'm not the hero type. Trust me. If you knew what I really am…" she paused completing the turn," You wouldn't want me around." "I know enough" Robin simply responded earning a ghost of a smile from the girl, turning to face them their eyes then fell on the other hesitant member. The boy raised his hands defensively before panning across their faces, seeming to break he let out a sigh dropping his arms, "finnneee, I'll come," he said, grumbling something under his mouth.
In a now empty part of the city the lizard soldiers were destroying everything in sight, tearing cars open, looking for their fugitive, communicating with animalistic growls, they continued their search after finding nothing. In a neighboring alley, the five teens poked their heads out seeing the chaos, "All right. We need some way to track—" Robin whispered before he was interrupted by Raven, "She's near." Her response earning her four puzzled stares causing a big sweat drop to slide down the back of her head, "I can sense things." She replied hastily attempting to explain herself. "I'll see if I can pick up her scent." Beast Boy quickly said before changing into a bloodhound and sniffing the ground trying to pick up a scent. Cyborg then rolled up the right sleeve of his sweatshirt revealing his bionic circuitry, "there's a sonic analyzer built into my arm. If she's around, I'll hear it." Cyborg said tapping the panel and opening it. "Good," Robin replied as Beast Boy returned to his human form, "I've got her trail!" he said before returning to his canine from just as the thumping of a heartbeat could be heard from the sonic analyzer, "And I can hear her heartbeat." The cyborg said before the group ran off following their trackers.
Just a moment later the group arrived at a video store that's front wall had been blasted apart the edges still glowing red. The lights in the store were off indicating that it was closed but despite this the orange alien stepped in almost lunging for a bucket of popcorn and sweets before wolfing them down as she licked her lips greedily. The girl seemed to have no end, she seemed on pace to empty the store, seeming as though she wasn't even chewing as she devoured the snacks. The five searchers approached cautiously, the green changeling having returned to his original form and the cyborg with his forearm closed.
"Uh… those taste better without the wrapper," Beast Boy almost whispered to the orange escapee. Tipping down some more popcorn before wiping her mouth, giving the changeling a funny look before wheeling around the face the five teens, a snarl escaping her lips as she warmed up her green bolts in each hand, scaring all involved as the teen in the back changed into his dark form bracing himself for impact. "It's all right. We're friends, remember?" Robin asked, trying to calm the girl down. "Friends?" the girl asked advancing towards the group causing them to step back, "Why? For what purpose did you free me?" the girl asked. "Just… trying to be nice," The Boy Wonder replied still trying to diffuse the situation. "Nice. We do not have this word on my planet. Closest is Rutha. Weak!" She said her eyes burning bright green. "Well around here, nice means nice. And if you want us to keep being nice, you better tell us why the lizard king took you prisoner." Cyborg fired back at her, his words seeming to cool off the young alien as her eyes and hands dimmed before the green glow disappeared. "Not prisoner. I am… prize. The Gordanians deliver me to the citadel, to live out my days as their servant." At this admission the group relaxed the teen in the back returning to his original form. "And the Citadel are…?" Raven asked, "Not nice," the escapee replied bitterly. "Then you're not going with them." Robin replied as Beast Boy stood by his side, "not if I have anything to say about it." He said heroically, "Um, don't you mean we?" Beast Boy asked just as an explosion rocked the store throwing the six teens to the ground. When the smoke cleared seconds later several of the newly named Gordonians were standing just outside the freshly blown hole in the wall. "Seize Her!" A Gordonian cries out as the platoon rushes inside the hole.
The group of six is quick to rise to their feet, charging headfirst at the incoming soldiers. The Cyborg is the first to strike, followed by Beast Boy who was now a rhinoceros. A right hook from the alien girl that rivaled a cannon sent one of the soldiers flying. Robin, whipping out his staff, took the opportunity to dent some skulls while Tyler was busy messing with a couple soldiers whose shots passed right through him. Last but not least Raven threw her hands forward throwing multiple Gordonians back through some form of telekinesis.
A few moments later a patch of wall explodes outward, upending a few of the nearby parked cars as the dust clears to reveal the orange alien flying backwards. Her arm's crossed, shielding her face having raised them to protect herself from the hit that drove her through the wall. Lowering them to show her glowing green eyes, throwing the rubble off her three soldiers starting flying towards her, warming up her hands she unleashed a barrage on them, knocking one down and making another peel off, the third however slips past and engages the orange alien in hand to hand, knocking the girl to the pavement which cracks as she slams into the concrete. Dropping down in front of her, the Gordonian charged his spear
Robin who had his own problems thrust his staff forward clashing with a Gordonian spear, sparks flying as steel clashed against the alien metal. Throwing a quick look at the alien girls direction he pitches his enemy away, practically bowling over the one that threatened his new alien friend allowing the girl to smile, this was immediately cut short however as two of her captors stormed towards the Boy Wonder. In a flash the alien girl is airborne again charging towards the pair, Robin cutting out the legs from one of them as the girl blasted the other down as she gained more altitude and continuing the offensive. Cyborg could be seen grappling with his own alien as the lizards long tail wrapped around his ankle pulling his weight out from under him and knocking him over flat on his back his charged spear aimed square at his chest. Managing to roll out of the way as a small crater was blasted into the concrete he weaved around the next few shots with impressive speed before finding himself in a vicious crossfire that threw up enough smoke to hide him from view.
As the smoke clears it revealed the Cyborg his clothing blown to bits revealing his biotic form, throwing a an angry look straight ahead before leaping into action. The sound of Gordonian spears ringing out as Cyborg pulled back one fist coming down right on the shooters shaft shattering the spear. Next he lifted the enemy overhead chucking him into his flying squad sending them cascading towards the ground. Two salvos then laced the street creeping towards him as two fresh trios of Gordonians were on their wings trying to catch them in crossfire. Their offensive throwing the Cyborg off balance for a second before he was airlifted out by a green pterodactyl. As the pair sail past a streetlight is pulled loose under Raven's control, concentrating hard the pole swings towards the three knocking all the foes out of view. On the other side of the street a dark shadow could be seen creeping up behind the other trio of Gordonians, unaware as the shadow transformed into Tyler who wrapped his hands around one of the spears on the ground, aiming it towards the ground around the trio he tried to fire it with no results alerting the trio as they turned around brandishing their spears. A nervous chuckle escaping his lips while a bead of sweat ran down his face as he started shaking the spear desperately before a shot left the spear blowing the trio away and throwing the teen back.
The street which was now littered with Gordonian bodies still had a group of the soldiers huddled together toward the end, most of them lifting off retreating rather than fighting as a few stragglers direct a pained look at the teens before following suit, the victors gazing up as their enemies disappear into the sky. "I believe your expression is thanks" the orange alien said, "Aw, man, my suit!" Cyborg said eyeing his shredded clothes, "So? You look way cooler without it" Beast Boy said a smile on his face, "Yeah. Like I'm taking fashion advice from the guy in the goofy mask." The cyborg replied visibly crushing the green changeling. The sound of debris shifting from the side of the street caught everyone's attention fearing the worst they got ready for another fight. "Woah, woah, I come in peace," Tyler said raising his hands in surrender as he emerged from the rubble, "I wouldn't use those spears," he said walking towards the group rubbing the back of his head. "Goofy? My mask is cool. Isn't it? Raven, Tyler?" The still crushed changeling asked only to have Cyborg and Raven shake their heads grimly and receive a shrug from Tyler. Tugging at bottom of his mask, "But... what about my secret identity?" Beast Boy asked as Cyborg shed what remained of his clothes, "What secret identity? You're green." Raven replied answering Beast Boy's very stupid question. "Uh...mmm uh, uh...oh...hm." Beast Boy replied thinking very hard before pulling off his headgear earning him a pat on the back from Tyler, "It was pretty terrible,"
"This isn't over." Robin said as he and the alien addressed the group, "Now that we've interfered..." Robin said before he was cut off, "Trogaar will strike harder. It is only a matter of..." The young alien finished only to be interrupted herself. The beams on the island mounted holographic communicator flashed to life as Trogaar's static-distorted image towered over the city, all of hero's turning towards the hologram. "Fools! You Earth scum were warned. Your insolence will be punished. Your city will be destroyed!" Were the leaders final words before winking out and retreating into the ship, its main gun tilting down aiming at the city, its broad muzzle glowing at the center. The fearful crowds of the city that were held still by the hologram now began to panic as the hero's began to argue at this new revelation the only, Raven rolling her eyes simply muttering "Great".
"So, after trashing a pizza place and a perfectly good video store, now we've managed to make a humongous space gecko mad enough to vaporize the whole town?" Beast Boy asked getting nervous. "Go team," Cyborg said sourly, "All the fault is yours! The alien yelled as it seemed her head began to grow, "I commanded you to leave me alone, but you insisted upon the being nice!" she finished only for Robin to respond in kind his head seeming to grow as hers shrunk, "My fault?! He yelled his head returning to normal size, "You blast me, you kiss me, " sparks beginning to fly between the two, "But you never stop to mention that they have a gigantic particle cannon." As the shouting match continued the other four were just watching. "Nomosguoguomuozog! GUO ZOG!", "I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING!" the two continued to argue. "We are doomed I can't believe I let you talk me into this!" Beast Boy said to Cyborg, "Say what?! I was ready to walk before you-" Raven who was standing next to Tyler the only two who were still quiet was trying her best to concentrate but seeming to reach her limit she spoke up, "QUIET!" she yelled echoing throughout the street and shutting up everyone quickly. Four pairs of angry eyes and one surprised one turned her way waiting for her next words. "Hi," she said with a timid wave. "Look it doesn't matter how we got into this mess, We're in it, and we will get out of it, together." Robin said inspirationally as the others nod in agreement, Beast Boy smiling mischievously as Tyler rubbed the bridge of his nose, "Come on we got a city to save." Robin finished.
Looking at the hovering ship the main's guns pulsating barrel ready to level the entire city. Cutting inside the ship a contingent of Gordonians rushed alongside a catwalk, after they had cleared out a large bubble of Raven's black energy rises from the surface and dissipates to expose five hero's within causing Beast Boy to shiver noticeably as Tyler appeared next to them in his shadow form seemingly floating through the floor. "That dark energy stuff gives me the-" Beast Boy started as Raven moved closer giving him a slightly annoyed glare, "Uh...I mean, its cool!" Beast Boy said with a broad smile and showing a thumbs up trying to hide the sweat moving down his face. A nervous little laugh followed this as the Gordonian patrol disappeared around the bend allowing Robin to poke his head from the doorway. "We have to get to the firing controls." Robin whispered stepping out, "There isn't much time." The girl is the first after him, then Beast Boy and Cyborg with Tyler close behind, Raven emerged next well behind them not following. Trying to move as quietly as he could the shadowy teen looked behind him noticing they were one short as he saw Raven who closed her eyes and dropped her head seeming to lose all hope.
"Why are you by yourself," he asked as he approached the mage, "You heard the kid, I don't exactly fit in." she replied slightly raising her head, "Don't worry about that," he replied with a smile earning himself a curious look from her, gesturing toward the others he said, "He's green, He's half robot, that's an alien and I'm not to sure what I am, you fit in fine," he finished putting a hand on her shoulder. The message seemed to at least ease her as she followed him to join the others. Now Robin and the alien girl were stopped at another corner as Robin poked around the corner the girl spoke "I bring you... apology," causing Robin to turn to her, "Don't worry about it. I'm sorry I yelled, too." he replied. "And again, you are... nice. On my world, only my k'norfka has shown me such kindness." she said with a smile, "Well things are different here." he said returning her smile, at this the background seems to turn a pink hue as a slight blush crept onto her face before Beast Boy's words snapped her out of her trance, "Uh, guys?" he said pointing past her, "I think they know we're here." The sound of a blaring alarm suddenly blast through the room, a squad of angry looking troops come charging in. Tyler and Raven who were at the rear turn to face the way they came only for a Gordonian to leapt into view with a screech.
On the exterior of the ship the weapon burned with a brighter glow as its control panel showed its rising power levels. The same panel could be seen in the control room as two Gordonians see it top out, other soldiers could be seen behind them as one of them spins around in his chair addressing the area, "Lord Trogaar, the weapon has reached full power." A captain's chair could be seen on the bridge and as it turns Lord Trogaar could be seen upon it, "Then begin the firing sequence," he ordered. The men at the controls obeyed closing the control panel being replaced by a circle of characters in the aliens language with one in the center. At this the peripheral marks began to disappear one by one in a counterclockwise motion, it is a timer. "The Earth scum shall learn," Lord Trogaar said standing up, "it takes more than six juvenile heroes to defy the mighty Lord Trogaar. The observation windows in the front displayed the weapon and the rings of light lighting up from the bridge out, a smile spread of Lord Trogaar's face at the destruction he was about to witness. An instant later the door behind him is blown inward with a smoke screen being sent up, "We're not five heroes." Robin's voice could be heard as the smoke revealed the teens in the doorway, "We're one team."
The triumphant smile that once dawned the lords face disappeared in favor of an enraged growl and in less than a second every available solider is on the move. Robin is the one to land the first blow almost snapping a scaly neck with a leaping kick, Cyborg slams both of his fists into the floor, throwing out a blast of energy the knocks the others off their feet, Beast Boy as a kangaroo kicks two in the gut full force, Tyler in his dark form letting a Gordonian pounce on him only to pass through him and receive a hit to the back of the head from the staff Tyler had borrowed from Robin, The orange alien delivered a super charged uppercut that sends an enemy crashing to the deck. Beast Boy now in his human form, turning into a marsupial just in time to kick one Gordonian away and lash another with his tail before returning to his human form. Trogaar leaping into battle smashes both his arms against the deck close enough to the changeling to send him flying across the deck only being stopped by an inconveniently placed wall, slumping down and landing on the floor in a heap. The Gordonian lord roared charging forward ready to finish the young hero off only for Raven to pop up from the floor and throw up a small shied, undeterred Trogaar threw his arms at the shields over and over causing the mage's knees to buckle as she retreated closer and closer to the wall. Finally he breaks through her barrier preparing to flatten them both only to be stopped by Robin latching onto his shoulders and Tyler attacking his knees, the surprise attack makes the Gordonian leader buckle as Tyler smashes his staff into his knees, after some moments Trogaar wrenches Robin off him hurling him across the deck and kicking away Tyler who turns into shadow phasing through the deck.
Robin who had managed to turn the tumble into a flip and land in a crouch leapt back into the fray and delivered a crushing left jab that knocks Trogaar off his feet and before the captain can even touch the floor he is thrown in a different direction courtesy of a spin kick from Robin. Robin moved forward looking to finish him off only for Trogaar's massive claws to wrap around his torso before being hurled across the room landing behind the captain's chair, a shocked gasp heard as the alien girl cried out, "Robin!" Leaving no time to worry the snarling Trogaar is moving to tear into his former prisoner, lifting off the girl let go of a string of shots that tear into the deck concealing the Gordonian lord in the glare and the smoke, leaping out of it unscathed he latches his claws around her, forcing her to the floor, lifting his arms up and smashing her to the floor. Struggling to break his grip she is finally able to shoot off a starbolt that strikes him in the chest forcing him to drop her. Backing up cautiously from the prisoner that had cost him far more than she was worth as Cyborg rushes towards him from a pile of now unconscious Gordonian soldiers delivering a cracking shot to the lords jaw with his bionic arm. Landing in front of the staggering Gordonian, he and the alien girl deliver a flurry of punches with enough power to shatter stone but this is still not enough as the Gordonian lord returns with his own strikes sending the two flying across the bridge toward Robin.
As the Cyborg hit the deck the panels covering his bionic arm pop open revealing his inner circuitry, requiring his immediate attention. "Can you rewire that into some sort of weapon?" Robin asked kneeling down beside the cyborg, "I can try," he replied, but before he could even start Trogaar and his still conscious soldiers had moved to box them in a menacing smile on the lords face, before someone caught his attention, supporting Beast Boy, Raven menacingly said, "Get away from my friends! Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" On the last word of her chant an explosion rocked the craft destroying most of the bridge and sending the ship cascading out of control into the bay, a massive wave being sent up as the ship crashes into the bay. The teens in the still intact section of the bridge straighten up as Trogaar rises and whirls around the face them. Choosing to finish off Raven and Beast Boy first he approached them extending one of his claws to their full length a sadistic smile on his lips before his face goes blank a blinding blueish flash connecting squarely with his back. Collapsing to the ground, finally defeated, revealing the three standing behind him Cyborg's right arm raised straight ahead his hand replaced with the muzzle of a cannon. "All right, I'm only gonna say this once," the cyborg said a grin on his face, "Boo-yah!"
The next morning Robin, Cyborg, Beast Boy and Raven could be seen sitting on the shores of the island looking out on the city, the Gordonian landing craft still dug firmly into its rock. "That's quite a view," Raven said the first to speak up, "somebody oughta build a house out here," the cyborg commented, "Yeah, if you like sunshine and the beach," Beast Boy said with a smile his words aimed at Raven as he dug his elbow into her side. "You know, you're kind of funny," she replied with a soft laugh, stars in his eyes, his ears perking up he replied, "You think I'm funny? Dude! I know some jokes!" his laugh seeming to further unnerve the mage who had a sweat drop sliding down her temple and an eyebrow slightly twitching. "You know I've only known him a day and even I can see you don't encourage him," Tyler said rising from the ground in his shadow form before turning into his human body earning himself a frown from the green changeling. "Please." All turn towards the voice to see the young alien in new clothes with a violet top and skirt along with leggings and boots, grey armbands and belt with her pauldron, her crown and under armor disposed of as she approached the group. "I look...nice?" she asked her eyes panning across the group, "I still don't know your name." Robin commented stepping up, "In your language, it would be Starfire." she said finally giving a name, "Welcome to Earth, Starfire." Robin said with a smile, "I thank you all for your bravery and help, and I wish to ask permission...to remain here. Where the people are most strange...but also most kind." looking at Robin as she finishes causing the both of them to look away blushing a bit. "You don't need our permission," Raven replied, "But if you want our friendship, you've got it," Robin followed, "I have always wanted an alien friend," Tyler said in agreement, "Guess we could all use some new friends." Cyborg said, "Besides, we kind of make a good team." Beast Boy added, "I thought we might want to keep in touch," Robin said fishing into his belt, "So Cyborg and I designed these," pulling his hand out and holding out four round yellow devices the covers bare, Beast Boy, Tyler, Raven and Starfire each taking one eyeing them over, impressed. "Made 'em outta my own circuits," Cyborg said showing his own device in his hand. Now with all there devices in hand Robin said "When there's trouble, you know who to call."
