A/N: Just a scene I was working on for Tales of the Gate Riders before I gave up on the story. I would suggest to read the other scenes I had for this story that are early on in this fic. Enjoy.

Maru could only roll his eyes underneath his helmet as entered the Common Room of the Titan's Tower to see the familiar face of a Dracon on the screen. Among all the races Maru encountered, Dracons were one of the most savage species that loved to conquer everything in their sight, but after Maru stopped one of the invasions, they turned their attention towards destroying the Gate Rider.

The Dracon on the screen was a robotic dragon that was size of a human being. Its mechanical body was black and it had sharp claws and teeth. It had long horns protruding from its forehead and had red eyes. Surrounding the screen were the Teen Titans, who were talking to the Dracon, while the other two Gate Riders, Solar and Lunar, remained behind to listen to the conversation. "What's the situation?" Maru asked the two Gate Riders.

"The Dracons have blockaded the planet. The Justice League is engaging, but with little success," Solar explained. "They want you."

Maru only sigh at that as he looked at the other two Gate Riders. "Let me take care of this," he said before he headed towards the screen.

The two Gate Riders watched Maru walked pass the other Titans and right next to Robin, who was trying-and failing-to negotiate with the Dracon on the screen. Seeing Maru, Robin turned his head towards the Gate Rider who told him, "Let me take care of this."

The Boy Wonder gave the golden armored Gate Rider a quizzical look, but he knew that Maru had an enormous amount of experience when it came with extraterrestrial species, so he stepped aside. Maru then focused his attention towards the Dracon on the screen, his green lenses looking up at it. The Dracon sneered at the Maru's golden armored form. "So, it is you, Maru," he snarled. "It has been a while since my kind and you have had out last encounter."

Again, Maru found himself rolling his eyes underneath his helmet before fixating them back onto the Dracon. "Look here, Dracon," Maru said, "we both know what's going to happen. You're going to try to invade, but I'll come up with a clever plan to defeat you and send you running away-which will definitely happen. I suggest you turn back now, while you still can."

The Dracon on the screen chuckled. "I don't think so. You underestimate my power, Maru."

"And you've underestimate mine," Maru said, crossing his arms over his chest. "Do you remember the last time I dealt with a fleet of Dracons this size?" The Dracon shook his head. Maru grinned. "I destroyed them all."

The Dracon looked at Maru in shock as well as did the Titans. "Now, tell me how weak, and feeble I am. Tell me how a coward was able to defeat your kind-not once, not twice, but millions of times?" Maru's voice was so cold that it sent shivers down everyone's back, even the other Gate Riders. "I've brought down countless civilizations who dared went up against me, including your kind, Dracon! NOW THIS IS YOUR ONE CHANCE! LEAVE THIS DIMENSION!"

Nothing came from the Dracon for sometime as he looked at Maru before gave his answer: "The Dracons will succeed," and the screen went blank.

"I warned you", Maru sighed as he turned to Solar and Lunar. "Activate you G-Books," he told them as he headed towards the exit.

The Titans looked at the three Gate Riders, wondering what they had planned. "What are you going to do?" Beast Boy asked.

"We're going to use our G-Books to fire a beam of energy at the ship," Lunar explained, "obliterating the Dracons in the process."

The Titans' eyes widen. "You're going to kill them!" Cyborg shouted.

The Gate Riders turned their heads towards the Titans. "You have a problem with that?" Solar said, his voice a little on edge.

Robin stepped in front of his team and stressed, "Yes we do! We don't kill!"

Lunar rolled his eyes underneath his helmet as he walked over to the Titans. "Look, you may have a rule for not killing, but in this case, the Dracons aren't alive either!" Lunar exclaimed.

Raven stared at them. "What do you mean?"

"The Dracons are mechanical shells of their former selves. They turned themselves into monsters without a soul," Solar coldly stated. "It's best to kill them. Save them from that mechanical monstrous form."

"But they still deserve a chance," Starfire pleaded.

"ENOUGH!"

Everyone turned to look at Maru with shock, including the other two Gate Riders. "I've killed before," Maru said, stepping into the conversation. "We all have. I tried to give my enemies a chance, but they forced me to kill them. I've regretted doing so, but I did what I had to do. Seeing the situation as it is, we don't have a choice. If we let them go, they'll come back in greater numbers. Whether you like it or not, we're going to do it!" Turning to Solar and Lunar, Maru said, "Let's go."

With that, the three Gate Riders left the Common Room of the Titans Tower and headed towards the rooftop.
