Teen Titans Unlimited

by benderjam

My idea for season 8. The Titans' most dangerous enemies and some new ones are coming out of the wood work. With the growing danger the Titans must recruit some more help and strengthen their forces. The Titans travel around to recruit new members and establish the Titans North and the Titans South. Together they may be able to face this growing threat. Please read and review.

6. Bad Blood

Teen Titans Unlimited

Before you read: This is a main episode that is important to the story of this season. I will introduce some more new faces, including a new enemy for Cyborg who I read about online.

Bad Blood

It was a dark night in Steel City and things were eerily quiet at a maximum security prison on the waterfront. The guards were on patrol as they secured some dangerous criminals, some had dangerous superpowers. One of the prisoners was Steamroller, another was Ding Dong Daddy, and there was also I.N.S.T.I.G.A.T.O.R. and a few other former H.I.V.E. students. But the most dangerous criminal in the entire prison was Brother Blood, who was put in a high-tech cell with mechanical restraints over his arms, a helmet on his head, and a force-field barrier. He stood with his eyes closed in a bitter expression as he was unable to escape or use his brainwashing powers. He opened his eyes when suddenly he heard the sound of electricity surging and looked around to see cables in the walls lighting up as energy traveled through them. Blue lightning shot from the walls as a teenage boy materialized in the middle of the floor; he had short black hair and white skin. He wore a black suit with yellow lines that looked like traces on a circuit board; it covered almost all of his body with only his mouth, nose, ears, and hair visible, he also had a yellow visor over his eyes. The guards hurried and aimed their weapons at him but the boy smiled as he held his hands out and fired blue blasts of energy that looked somewhat pixelated. The blasts hit the guards and made them cry in pain as they were knocked down and then the boy walked over to Brother Blood's cell.

He stood in front of it and stared at him as he said, "Are you Brother Blood?"

Brother Blood smiled with interest as he curiously said, "Yes I am, who is asking?"

The boy smiled deviously as he said, "Name's H8-Bit. I hear you have a history with Cyborg."

Brother Blood smiled evilly as he said, "You hear correctly."

H8-Bit smiled maniacally as he said, "That's something we have in common, and that's why I'm breaking you out."

They both smiled evilly at each other until a blast of yellow energy hit H8-Bit and made him cry in pain as he stumbled.

He turned to see the Titans East at the end of the cellblock glaring at him as Bumblebee said, "Another thing you'll have in common is you'll be in the same prison!"

H8-Bit glared at them as he put his hands together and fired a blue blast of pixelated energy at them but they scattered and dodged it.

Mas and Menos put their hands together while shouting, "Mas y Menos si podemos!"

They zoomed at H8-Bit and ran around him in a circle, creating a small tornado around him but H8-Bit grunted as he released a shockwave of his pixelated energy. He hit them and knocked them both down and then Speedy shot a few arrows at H8-Bit, but he created a force-field around himself. The arrows blew up against his force-field then he dropped it and threw a blast of his pixelated energy at Speedy, who narrowly dodged it. Aqualad held his hands out as he made pipes burst out of the walls and spray water at H8-Bit at high pressure. The water soaked H8-Bit and knocked him down but he got up with a vexed expression and fired a ray of his pixelated energy at Aqualad, blasting him into a wall as he cried in pain. Bumblebee flew in the air and shot her stingers at H8-Bit and made him cry in pain as he rapidly fired blasts of his pixelated energy at her. Bumblebee shrunk down and easily dodged the blasts before flying at H8-Bit and zapping him with her stinger. He cried in pain as she flew around his body and shot different areas while he tried to swat her like a fly. She was too fast as she flew at H8-Bit's face and kicked him, knocking him down as he fell to the floor. She grew to her normal size and stood over him with a triumphant smile, but he raised his left hand and blasted her back through the air before getting back up.

Brother Blood watched everything with an evil grin as he said, "Very impressive. He will make an excellent student."

Bumblebee almost hit the floor before she hovered and the rest of the Titans East joined her as they all glared at H8-Bit and prepared to attack again.

Realizing he could not defeat them together, he pointed his finger and said, "This isn't over!"

He then turned into pure energy and escaped through the wires and left the prison, leaving the Titans East shocked and baffled.

Mas stared at where H8-Bit once stood and said, "Lo que acaba de suceder?"

Bumblebee was concerned as she said, "I don't know but I have a feeling he wasn't lying."

Aqualad showed a serious expression as he said, "Then we need to get ready for his return."

Bumblebee looked at Aqualad with a serious expression as she said, "Yeah, but I think we're gonna need some help."

Opening theme song

It was early in the day as the Titans flew toward the Titans East's Tower in the T-Ship and would be there in a matter of minutes.

As they flew Robin stared out while holding his control yoke as he said, "We're coming up on the Titans East's Tower."

Cyborg showed an impatient expression as he said, "It's about time! We gotta help make sure that Brother Blood stays in prison!"

Raven looked out the corner of her eye as she sarcastically said, "Yeah, because we all know how you're so eager to see him again."

Cyborg's expression softened as he explained, "Sorry Rae. I just want to make sure that Blood doesn't escape. The Titans East said some new bad guy tried to break him out of prison and we gotta stop that from happening."

Robin stared out with a calm expression as he solemnly said, "We understand Cyborg. We'll find out who this guy is and stop him."

Starfire smiled optimistically as she said, "Agreed! Do not fear Cyborg, together shall stop the Brother Blood from escaping."

A bubble appeared next to Cyborg's head with Beast Boy's head inside it as he slyly said, "And while we're here you can spend some time with Bumblebee."

Cyborg blushed red as he shyly denied, "That'd be nice but that's not why we're here."

Beast Boy smiled coyly as he said, "Right. Sure."

They landed the T-Ship in front of the Tower and the Titans East, who watched them exit the ship and come toward them.

Cyborg approached first as Bumblebee smiled at him and said, "Hey Sparky. Nice to see you again. Thanks for coming."

Cyborg smiled shyly as he said, "No problem Bee."

The others watched as Beast Boy smiled slyly and leaned next to Raven as he whispered, "Are you seeing sparks between her and Cy?"

Raven smirked as she watched them and whispered, "Oh yeah."

They and the others joined the group as Speedy smiled and said, "Hey Robin, good to see you."

Robin had a friendly smile as he pounded his fist and said, "You too Speedy."

Starfire looked somewhat uncomfortable as Mas and Menos gawked at her with little red hearts flying around their heads.

They kept staring at her as they simultaneously said, "Caliente!"

Raven and Beast Boy walked over to Aqualad as Beast Boy high-fived him while he said, "Hi Beast Boy. Raven."

Raven showed a friendly smile as she said, "Hey Aqualad."

Beast Boy happily asked, "What's up dude?"

Aqualad smiled modestly as he said, "Oh you know, the usual."

Cyborg then got to the point as he said, "It's nice to see y'all again, but let's get down to business. Who tried to break out Brother Blood?"

Bumblebee turned her body as she pointed her thumb at the tower and said, "Come inside, we'll show you."

They lead their friends inside, unaware they were all being watched by a small hidden camera that was spying on them. H8-Bit was watching the video from the camera from inside what looked like an old videogame with pixelated objects surrounding him. He watched the Titans follow the Titans East into their shadow and made the camera zoom in on Cyborg.

H8-Bit had a sinister grin as he focused on Cyborg and said to himself, "I've been waiting for this for a long time."

Shortly after, the Titans all gathered in the main room of the tower and watched security camera footage of H8-Bit in the prison.

Beast Boy watched with a cocky expression as he said, "This dude doesn't look so bad."

The footage showed the Titans East fighting him and showed him using his powers to fight and for other reasons. The others were surprised as they watched him shoot blasts of his pixelated energy and make force-fields out of it. They watched as he hurt each of the Titans East and proved to be a powerful enemy with effective superpowers.

Raven sneered at Beast Boy as she said, "You were saying."

Beast Boy looked nervous as he looked back at the screen while Cyborg focused on H8-Bit with a serious expression.

They paused the video as Bumblebee explained, "He calls himself H8-Bit. He tried to set Blood free until we stopped him, but he said he'd be back to try again."

The others all stared at the screen as Robin curiously asked, "Who is he?"

Speedy walked next to Bumblebee as he answered, "We don't know. We've never met him. We thought we could take him, but his powers are pretty dangerous. He got the better of each of us before we banded together to beat him, then he escaped."

Beast Boy sat up on the couch and was somewhat intimidated as he hesitantly said, "That does sound pretty tough."

Mas and Menos nervously nodded as they simultaneously said, "Si. Era muy poderoso y peligroso. No estamos seguros de que podamos deternerlo nosotros mismos."

Raven looked at them with a mildly annoyed expression as she said, "I don't know what they said but they sounded scared.

Beast Boy smiled at them with confidence as he pointed his thumb and said, "No worries, we'll kick his butt for sure."

Mas and Menos both smiled at him as he high-fived both of them, then Robin asked, "Is there anything else you can tell us about him?"

Aqualad stood beside Bumblebee, on the opposite side of Speedy, as they looked at Cyborg while he said, "Before we fought him he talked with Brother Blood and said something about having a grudge against Cyborg."

The others were surprised as they all looked at Cyborg while Raven curiously asked, "Do you know this guy?"

Cyborg stared at the paused video in thought but was uncertain said, "Something about him seems familiar, but I can't put my finger on it."

Starfire turned from Cyborg to the screen with a concerned expression as she said, "This H8-Bit appears quite formidable."

Beast Boy stared at the energy he created and commented, "His energy stuff looks like something from an old videogame."

Bumblebee nodded in agreement as she seriously said, "Yep. From what we saw last night, he can create this pixelated energy and become pure energy to travel through technology. That's all we know about him so far."

Robin folded his arms with a serious expression as he said, "His powers definitely seem dangerous and I have a feeling we haven't even seen the worst he can do."

Speedy folded his arms as he looked at the screen and said, "You're probably right."

Bumblebee walked toward the Titans as she said, "Well, we're waiting for him to make his move and we were hoping you guys would help us stop him for good."

Cyborg showed a serious expression as he said, "You bet girl! We'll kick this guy's butt and keep Brother Blood in prison where he belongs!"

Aqualad looked at Cyborg as he honestly said, "We're glad you guys are here but we're a little worried about hos H8-Bit's powers might effect your systems Cyborg."

Robin looked at Cyborg with a bit of concern as he said, "He has a point Cyborg. H8-Bit's powers might have some negative effects on you."

Cyborg smiled confidently with his fists on his sides as he said, "Don't sweat it guys. My systems are designed to protect me from any spikes in energy and protect my power cell. Plus I've got a few new upgrades that should help a lot."

Mas and Menos both smiled happily as he said, "Fresco!"

Bumblebee smiled charmingly at Cyborg as she said, "Thanks Sparky. With you helping out we got nothing to worry about."

Cyborg turned away to hide his blush while Aqualad smiled and said, "In the meantime you guys make yourselves at home."

Beast Boy smiled happily as he said, "Don't mind if I do! Anyone up for a videogame?"

Mas and Menos both zoomed in front of him as they happily volunteered; sometime later the Titans and the Titans East were enjoying their time together. Beast Boy played a videogame with Mas and Menos while Robin and Speedy talked about their gadgets and Aqualad talked with Raven and Starfire. Cyborg stood at the back of the main room as he glanced at all of the others with a smile on his face as he folded his arms. He noticed Bumblebee smiling at him as she waved and batted her eyelashes at him and he showed a weak smile before looking away. He looked at the videogame Beast Boy was playing with the twins and noticed they were playing a fighting game involving masked wrestlers. He noticed Mas and Menos' character flexing his muscles while girls stared at him adoringly with little hearts floating around their faces.

The masked wrestler smiled proudly as he looked at the camera and said, "A real man gets all the ladies!"

Mas and Menos smiled proudly as they agreed, "Si."

Cyborg then frowned as he looked down at his own arms before walking into the hallway with an unhappy expression.

Cyborg walked down the hall as he softly said to himself, "You used to be a real man."

Bumblebee came up behind him and said, "Hey Sparky, what's up?"

He was startled as he turned to face her as he lied, "Nothing. I guess I'm just kind of nervous about Blood and this H8-Bit guy. I mean we all know how dangerous Brother Blood is, and this new guy sounds like trouble too."

She smiled charmingly as she held his arm and said, "Relax. Blood's not going anywhere. We'll stop H8-Bit. With someone like you on our side we got it in the bag."

Cyborg blushed briefly as he smiled and said, "Thanks Bee."

Bumblebee kept smiling up at him with a flirtatious expression as she said, "And when we're done why don't you and your friends stick around for a little while? Maybe we could catch a movie, just the two of us."

Cyborg sweated nervously as he pulled his arm away and tried to be polite as he said, "Thanks for the offer but we can't stay long. We still gotta reach out to all the other Titans to make sure they're okay. Plus we've been recruiting a couple new members. I'd like to stay longer, but we gotta get back on the road. Thanks anyway."

Bumblebee was disappointed as she walked away while Cyborg watched her with a bit of guilt and regret.

When Bumblebee was gone Raven emerged out of the floor in a field of her black magic as she sarcastically said, "That went well."

Cyborg looked at her as he sheepishly said, "Raven! How much of that did you hear?"

Raven simply stared at him as she answered, "All of it."

Cyborg looked away with an embarrassed expression as he complained, "Aww man."

Raven stepped closer to him as she sincerely said, "You know, we don't have to leave right away. I wouldn't mind sticking around for a day or two, and it would give you and Bumblebee some time together. You know you want to."

Cyborg looked back at her with a surprised expression as she spoke calmly before smirking while she said, "I can sense your emotions. Plus, if Beast Boy can see it than it's pretty obvious."

Cyborg groaned in exasperation as he leaned back against the wall as Raven asked, "What are you so afraid of?"

Cyborg looked down at his own hands with insecurity as he said, "She deserves someone better than me. A REAL man."

Raven began to understand what he meant as she looked at him with a bit of sympathy and placed her hand on his arm for comfort.

She looked up at him sincerely said, "Just because you're half metal doesn't make you any less of a man than you were before."

He looked her with appreciation but was not convinced as he said, "Thanks Raven, but no girl would want a machine like me."

Meanwhile everyone else was still in the ops room and Beast Boy was still playing the videogame with Mas and Menos.

The game was over and the twins won as they simultaneously cheered, "Si!"

Behind them Speedy, Aqualad, and Robin saw the whole thing as they happily laughed at Beast Boy's defeat.

Beast Boy was annoyed as he looked at them over his shoulders then turned to the twins and said, "Best two out of three!"

Before they could do anything else the screen only showed static and Mas said, "Huh?"

Menos stared at the screen as he said, "Que pasa?"

Beast Boy was just as confused as he said, "Yeah, what's wrong with this thing?"

Suddenly the screen showed H8-Bit, who smiled tauntingly as he said, "Hi Titans! Am I interrupting something?"

The three of them were startled as Beast Boy stood up and loudly exclaimed, "Uh guys! Looks like we've got company!"

Cyborg, Bumblebee, and Raven reentered the room as they and the others joined Beast Boy and the twins. While this happened H8-Bit zapped himself out of the TV and materialized in front of the ten young heroes with an evil smile on his face.

He glanced around with an evil grin before leering at the Titans as he said, "Nice place you got here. Sorry I didn't call first."

Bumblebee glared daggers at him as she angrily said, "H8-Bit!"

He smiled snidely as he glanced all the other Titans and said, "You remember, I'm flattered. I see you called for backup. You're gonna need it."

Speedy stared at H8-Bit as he said, "Guess the bad guy decided he'd rather get his butt kicked somewhere more homey."

Aqualad stood next to him as he stared at H8-Bit and commented, "He's starting to remind me a lot of Control Freak."

Mas and Menos looked annoyed as they agreed, "Si. Es igual de molesto."

H8-Bit smiled arrogantly with his hands on his sides as he said, "I'm way cooler and tougher than him! Watch this!"

He then swiped his left hand through the air and sent out a wave of his pixelated energy that knocked all ten Titans on their backs.

He laughed at their expense and gloated, "Ha! How do you like me now?!"

They all immediately got back on their feet and angrily glared back at him as they clinched their fists and prepared to fight. Raven and Starfire floated in the air at the back of the group while all the others stood in fighting stances as they glared at H8-Bit. Robin, Speedy, and Bumblebee drew their weapons as they prepared to fight while Cyborg activated his right sonic cannon.

Bumblebee aimed her stingers at H8-Bit as she fiercely said, "You chickened out last night, but there's nowhere to run this time!"

She shot blasts of her energy at him but he blocked it as he held his hands out and created a barrier of his pixelated energy.

He dropped it and smiled sinisterly as he said, "I didn't come here to run."

He then held his hands out and fired a blast of his blue pixelated energy that hit Bumblebee and knocked her to the floor as she cried in pain. The others watched her with shocked expressions as she groaned and got back on her feet, while Cyborg gritted his teeth furiously.

Cyborg glared at H8-Bit as he aimed his sonic cannon at him as he said, "Alright pixel boy! Get ready for a butt whooping!"

He blasted his sonic cannon at H8-Bit, but he teleported out of the way as he briefly turned into pixelated energy and moved aside before returning to normal.

H8-Bit leered at Cyborg with a devious grin as he insidiously said, "Is that any way to greet an old friend Victor?"

Cyborg immediately became spooked as he lowered his sonic cannon and exclaimed, "Say what?!"

The others looked at Cyborg with baffled expressions as Beast Boy cluelessly said, "Uh, did I miss something?"

H8-Bit smiled evilly as he fired a ray of his pixelated energy from his visor and blasted Cyborg and knocked him flat on his back while the others watched in shock.

Starfire immediately exclaimed, "Cyborg!"

Bumblebee showed concern as she hurried to him and helped him up while she said, "Sparky, you okay?"

Cyborg did not reply as he stared at H8-Bit, who smiled evilly as he mocked, "Gee Victor, she really cares about you a lot."

Robin turned from H8-Bit to Cyborg as he said, "Cyborg, what's-"

He did not finish as he and the others cried in pain as H8-Bit flew a wave of his pixelated energy that knocked them down again. They got back up as Raven floated in the air and shot bolts of black lightning at H8-Bit, but he blocked them with a dome shield of his pixelated energy. He dropped it and threw a blast of his energy at her but she dodged it and then H8-Bit started blasting at the other Titans while they dodged his attacks. Beast Boy turned into a hummingbird and flew around while Bumblebee shrunk and dodged some other blasts while Starfire and Raven flew around by the ceiling. Mas y Menos zoomed around the room as they stayed together and easily dodged the pixelated energy without any problems while Speedy and Robin dodged the energy with speed and agility. Aqualad dodged a few blasts before he ran at H8-Bit and tried to punch him, but H8-Bit smiled as he shot a ray of pixelated energy and hit Aqualad. He cried in pain as he was sent flying through the air and crashed into Raven, Beast Boy, and Mas and Menos and knocked them down as the others watched with concern.

Cyborg got back on his feet and watched his friends before looking at H8-Bit, who gloated, "Your friends aren't as tough as I thought Victor."

Cyborg stared at H8-Bit in shock and asked, "What's going on here?! How do you know my name?! Who are you?!"

H8-Bit had a maniacal smile on his face as he pointed his left finger at Cyborg and said, "You still don't remember me? I'll give you a hint, we went to school together."

Cyborg stared at H8-Bit in shock and realization as he recognized him and said, "Keiji?!"

Commercial break

Cyborg was almost speechless as he stared at H8-Bit and said, "Keiji? Is it really you?"

H8-Bit applauded sarcastically as he said, "Give the man a prize!"

The others regrouped beside Cyborg as Robin looked at him and asked, "Cyborg, you do know this guy?"

Cyborg kept staring at H8-Bit in shock while he explained, "He's a hacker I went to school with before my accident. We used to hang out a lot until I found out he was using his computer skills to hack and steal information from STAR Labs."

The other Titans stared at H8-Bit in shock as Speedy said, "Whoa! Talk about a blast from the past."

Cyborg stared at H8-Bit as he asked, "What happened to you Keiji?"

H8-Bit pointed at Cyborg in anger and moved his hands around as he ranted, "You happened Victor! You ratted me out to the police and they locked me up! The inmates there beat me, pushed me around, and the guards wouldn't let me use any computers!"

Raven glared at H8-Bit as she sarcastically said, "Right, and that's not your fault at all."

Cyborg was still somewhat confused as he held his hand out toward H8-Bit as he said, "But how'd you get all these powers?"

H8-Bit smiled maniacally before glaring with hatred while he explained, "While I was in prison I found an old Gamestation 2 and fixed it up. With it I discovered an 8-bit universe that I could escape through with the right components. Only problem is, I didn't have the right parts. I had to make my machine out of spare parts, and something went wrong when I transferred myself into it, now I'm not human anymore! Now I'm pure energy! You turned me into this!"

Cyborg glared at H8-Bit as he angrily said, "I didn't do this to you! I didn't make the machine that blew out on you! I just reported you to the police to stop you from stealing more information!"

H8-Bit glared at Cyborg with hatred as he said, "Right, because you're a hero! You're a Titan! You brought down the H.I.V.E.! You lead the Titans East and beat Brother Blood!"

Robin overheard his ranting and spoke up as he curiously asked, "How do you know all that?"

H8-Bit did not answer as he hit Robin with a blast of his pixelated energy and knocked him down before turning to Cyborg again.

He clinched his fists as he furiously glared at Cyborg and yelled, "Well my life is over because of you! Now it's payback time! I'm taking you down and all your friends!"

He threw his hands out and shot a ray of his pixelated energy at them, but they scattered to avoid it and then they started fighting back. Cyborg blasted his sonic cannon at H8-Bit but his legs became a tail of pixelated energy as he flew in the air, looking like a ghost. He fired a blast of his pixelated energy at Cyborg and knocked him down as he cried, then he flew down as his legs reformed and he landed. Robin ran at H8-Bit and tried to swing his bo at him a few times, but H8-Bit dodged him and then held his left hand out. He created some pixelated energy that formed a baseball bat, which he swung at Robin and knocked him down with a smile. Speedy shot an arrow at H8-Bit, but he destroyed it with his pixelated energy and then shot a ray of his energy from his visor. Speedy jumped out of the way but fell down, then H8-Bit looked up and saw Raven and Starfire floating near the ceiling. Starfire threw a few starbolts at him while Raven shot a beam of her black magic, but his body turned into pure pixelated energy. He was now a monster composed of blue pixelated energy with a humanoid shape as he flew and dodged their energies. He flew at them and punched Raven, knocking her to the floor before shooting a ray of his pixelated energy at Starfire, blasting her through a wall. Aqualad jumped at H8-Bit and tried to punch him, but H8-Bit blasted him and sent him flying through the air before he splashed down into the pool on the lower level. H8-Bit floated in the air as he turned to see Bumblebee hovering in the air as she held Mas and Menos in her arms as the three of them glared at him.

Bumblebee looked at the twins in her arms as she said, "Boys, Stinging Winds!"

They nodded in agreement as she held them in her arms and they joined hands, and with their superspeed they whirled their free arms around in circular motions. They created a powerful gust of wind that blew H8-Bit back into the wall behind him as he let out a small cry of pain. He then glared at them as he flew and blasted them with his pixelated energy and knocked them all down. Suddenly he was hit by a big green tail and knocked to the floor, he looked up and saw Beast Boy standing over him as a T-Rex. He roared at H8-Bit, but he stood up and grew in size as he transformed into a giant blue pixelated gorilla. Beast Boy tried to bite him but H8-Bit grabbed his jaws and held them open, then he put his arm under Beast Boy's belly and lifted him up. He then turned him over and threw him down, sending the green T-Rex crashing down through the floor and into the lower level.

H8-Bit shrunk and returned to his natural form as he stared down through the hole and gloated, "Nice try Rexy!"

He was suddenly hit by a sonic blast and knocked away from the hole and he angrily turned to see Cyborg glaring at him.

Cyborg aimed his sonic cannon at H8-Bit as he demanded, "You got a problem, take it up with me, but leave my friends out of this!"

H8-Bit smiled evilly as he pulled his hands back and said, "I don't think so!"

He blasted Cyborg with his pixelated energy and forced him backwards as Cyborg cried in pain but remained on his feet.

H8-Bit's hands glowed blue as he said, "You know, my powers have improved my hacking skills a lot, watch."

He fired a ray at Cyborg and kept shooting him with it as Cyborg cried in pain and then started blasting his sonic cannon at the others while they dodged.

Beast Boy flew back up through the hole as a bird and dodged a sonic blast before he flew down and turned human.

He looked at Cyborg as he exclaimed, "Dude! What are you doing?!"

Cyborg kept blasting while H8-Bit kept pouring his energy on him while Cyborg fearfully exclaimed, "He's taking control of my systems! He's hacking into me!"

H8-Bit laughed evilly until a wall of Raven's black energy appeared in front of him, blocking the flow of energy into Cyborg. Cyborg regained control of his body as he sighed in relief while H8-Bit stopped shooting his pixelated energy.

The wall vanished as Raven floated toward him with her eyes glowing white as she said, "So H8-Bit, you like to control people?"

She shot a blast of her dark magic at him and hit him, but he stayed on his feet as he prepared to attack her, then a tiny Bumblebee flew at his face and kicked him. She knocked him down before returning to normal size as she hovered above him and pointed her stingers at him.

Her stingers glowed yellow as she prepared to shoot them while she angrily said, "Ever been stung by a bee!?"

He teleported away from her as he turned into pure energy and rematerialized a few feet away as he prepared to attack her.

Suddenly he heard Cyborg shout, "Yo!"

He looked at Cyborg, who fired the energy cannon in his chest and blasted H8-Bit back into the wall behind him as he cried in pain.

H8-Bit stared at Cyborg, who glared at him as he furiously yelled, "Nobody hacks my system!"

H8-Bit glared at Cyborg before noticing the other Titans regrouping around him as they all glared at him, and he realized the odds were against him.

H8-Bit then smiled coyly as he said, "You're pretty good when you got your friends to help you, but let's see how well you do later when I break out Brother Blood. See you around Victor."

He then zapped himself into a computer and escaped through the Internet right before their eyes as they all watched. Cyborg was vexed as he deactivated his weapons, while the others also lowered their arms and looked at him with concern.

Beast Boy then pointed at Cyborg and curiously said, "Your name's Victor?"

The others all stared forward with annoyed expressions while Raven slapped Beast Boy in the back of the head and knocked him down. The Titans got to work fixing up the damage their fight with H8-Bit caused but there were some things they could not fix right away.

Speedy and Aqualad stared at some rubble as Speedy commented, "It's not that bad all things considered."

Aqualad honestly agreed as he looked at Speedy and said, "Yeah, we've seen way worse. Remember when Blood attacked us with his H.I.V.E. Bots?"

Speedy nodded as his eyes widened slightly as he said, "Yeah, that was one heck of a night."

Beast Boy was staring at the hole in the floor he made when H8-Bit threw him down through the floor when he was a T-Rex.

Mas and Menos joined him as Beast Boy apologized, "Sorry about the hole dudes."

Mas looked at Beast Boy with forgiveness as he said, "Esta bien, senior Beast Boy."

Menos also showed forgiveness as he said, "Si, no es tu culpa."

Beast Boy smiled at them while Raven used her telekinesis to clean up some rubble and Mas and Menos zoomed around with their superspeed to clean up some stuff.

Cyborg was staring out the window when Bumblebee joined him with concern and said, "You okay Sparky?"

Cyborg looked at her out of the corner of his eye as he honestly said, "Not really. I've had enemies before, we all have, but I've never had one that I created myself. Keiji used to be my friend, but now he's a bad guy."

Bumblebee placed her hand on his arm as she sincerely said, "It's not your fault that he turned out so bad."

Cyborg showed guilt as he said, "It feels like it is. When I reported him to the police I didn't feel good about it. I hoped he'd be okay in prison and that it would give him time to think about what he'd done, I never thought he'd become a villain."

Bumblebee frowned as she looked down for a moment before looking back up at him while saying, "You may have put him in prison, but that doesn't make you responsible for the things that happened to him or the things he'd done."

Cyborg glanced at her before staring out the window while he said, "If I hadn't had him arrested he wouldn't have changed and gotten his powers. Now he's crazy and dangerous, and he's committing worse crimes than before."

Bumblebee smiled at him as she looked up and down at him as she said, "Sparky, you and Keiji have both changed a lot since the last time you saw each other. You've changed for the better, while he's changed for the worse. You can't change the past, what matters is what you do now. You are who you choose to be, and right now we need to focus on stopping H8-Bit from freeing Brother Blood."

Cyborg's spirits were lifted as he smiled at her and said, "Thanks Bee."

Bumblebee smiled at him and they both turned around as Robin came up to them and said, "Guys, I think there's more going on here than we know."

Starfire joined them and curiously asked, "What do you mean Robin?"

The others also joined them as Robin explained, "Something doesn't feel right. It seems like H8-Bit knows too much for a new bad guy. I can see how he could've learned about Cyborg being a Titan, but how did he know about Brother Blood, where to find him, and about the Titans East?"

Bumblebee suspiciously held her chin in thought as she said, "Yeah. This seems like way too much for some new guy to know."

Cyborg agreed as he suspiciously said, "Yeah, H8-Bit's smart but he's not that smart."

Robin glanced at the others with a serious expression as he theorized, "I'm not sure, but I feel like someone else must be involved in all of this."

Speedy agreed as he looked at Robin and said, "Yeah, someone who maybe knows about Brother Blood and us."

Starfire was very concerned as she urgently said, "If that is true than I believe we must cease standing around and take more action."

Bumblebee nodded with a serious expression as she agreed, "Starfire's right. I say we head over to jail, make sure Blood's cell is secure, and wait for H8-Bit to show up."

Cyborg nodded as he said, "Sounds good to me."

Aqualad looked at the others with a serious expression as he said, "Let's go!"

They all hurried out as Aqualad and Beast Boy jumped into the pool below; Beast Boy morphed into a dolphin as he and Aqualad swam out. Mas and Menos joined hands before zooming out while Bumblebee, Starfire, and Raven flew out while Robin, Speedy, and Cyborg ran out. Later they were at the prison as they spoke with the guards, checked the systems, inspected the precautions, and identified possible entry points. Everything seemed in order though they were still concerned about H8-Bit as they had learned to not underestimate him. Cyborg then walked over to Brother Blood's cell and glared at him through the force-field barrier while Brother Blood looked back at him.

Brother Blood smiled wickedly as he said, "Well, if it isn't my former student Cyborg. How kind of you to visit me in my lowly prison cell."

Cyborg glared at him as he coldly said, "I'm just keeping an eye on you to make sure you don't get any ideas."

Bumblebee joined Cyborg as she glared at Brother Blood and said, "Yeah, we know not to let our guard down around you."

Brother Blood smiled evilly at both of them as he said, "My two top students. A shame you chose not to join me when you had the chance. You could've been my greatest operatives and I could've lead you to glory. I still could too."

They both kept glaring at him as Cyborg defiantly said, "Sorry Blood. No sale."

Brother Blood stared at him with a coy smile as he deviously said, "Oh but Cyborg, I could make you a better man than you've ever been."

Bumblebee leaned forward and spitefully said, "He's already a man! He doesn't need you for anything!"

Brother Blood's devious grin remained as he said, "Well perhaps H8-Bit will accept my offer. He would make fine student, and it would be a nice irony since you made him what he is today."

Cyborg was shocked as he asked, "How'd you know that?"

He smiled sadistically as he said, "Shortly before you and your friends arrived he contacted me and told me all about your history with him, Victor. He also told me about your recent confrontation. It seems you are able to resist me, but you were helpless against his power."

Cyborg looked a bit nervous while Bumblebee pointed her right finger at Brother Blood and fiercely said, "Your brainwashing powers are useless in here and even if you had them there's nothing you can do to control us!"

Brother Blood had an insidious grin as he said, "We shall see Bumblebee. He also revealed to me his clever plan to defeat you and break me out, and soon I will be free."

Cyborg regained his composure as he pointed his finger at Blood and fiercely said, "You're not going anywhere! Even if you get out of this cell I'll just kick your butt and put you back in myself! I've got a few now upgrades that will make it a lot easier!"

Brother Blood was intrigued as he cocked an eyebrow and said, "Do tell."

Bumblebee then took Cyborg's arm and started pulling him as she said, "Come on, we should get to the others."

Cyborg kept glaring at Brother Blood before reluctantly going with Bumblebee while Brother Blood watched them with an evil grin.

They walked down the hall as Bumblebee looked at Cyborg and said, "Don't let him get to you Sparky. He's just trying get inside your head. And you're a man, no matter what he says."

Cyborg then nodded as he seriously said, "Yeah, you're right. Let's just focus on stopping H8-Bit from letting him out."

She smiled as she hovered next to him and confidently said, "Don't worry, he's not getting anywhere near him."

She smiled as she patted his cheek and then flew away while he held his cheek with a small blush while a green fly buzzed by.

The fly turned out to be Beast Boy, who turned human and slyly smiled at Cyborg as he said, "She's really cool huh?"

Cyborg was startled and then glared at Beast Boy as he said, "Yo! You know you're not supposed to spy on us like that!"

Beast Boy held his palms up as he said, "Hey, I was just a fly on the wall."

Cyborg looked away as he folded his arms and stubbornly said, "I know what you're thinking, there's nothing going on."

Beast Boy did not believe him as he smiled slyly again and said, "Dude, I just said that Bumblebee's pretty cool. Don't you think?"

Cyborg smiled as he glanced around in thought and said, "Yeah. She's tough, brave, strong, and she's got spunk. She kind of reminds me of Sarasim."

Realizing his mistake he looked nervously at Beast Boy who kept grinning at him as he said, "Dude, she likes you! Why don't you just go out with her already?"

Cyborg frowned as he looked down at his hands and pessimistically said, "She needs a man, not a machine."

Beast Boy's grin vanished as he pointed at Cyborg and honestly said, "Cy, you're still human. You're part machine but you're still a man, and Bumblebee knows that."

Cyborg looked at Beast Boy as he said, "I'm still not a WHOLE man."

Beast Boy shrugged his shoulders as he honestly said, "So what? What's so great about being a whole man? Look at all the cool stuff you can do now! You're awesome!"

Cyborg stared at his hands again as he said, "I wasn't always like this."

Beast Boy held his arms out as he said, "Neither was I."

Cyborg looked at him as he frowned and said, "That's different. You may be green but at least you still got your own flesh and blood."

Beast Boy spoke wisely as he said, "Cyborg, I may not know a lot, but I do know this: life doesn't always go the way you plan. You gotta learn to go with the flow and make the best of it. You say Bumblebee's like Sarasim, and she liked you, so maybe you're good enough for her."

Cyborg was surprised by his profound words as he stared at Beast Boy in shock before Beast Boy walked down the hall.

When he was gone Raven came to Cyborg and said, "Don't tell him I said this, but sometimes Beast Boy is pretty wise."

Cyborg stared at her in shock as he said, "Huh?"

Raven looked up at him as she honestly said, "Bumblebee definitely has feelings for you, it's not hard to see. You think being part robot doesn't make you good enough, but she doesn't care what you look like or what you can do. She likes you for who you are, you may not be perfect but she likes you anyway. Instead of trying to hide your feelings and push her away you should show her how you really feel and try to make it work."

Cyborg was surprised by her words as he turned away in hard thought and admitted, "Maybe you're right."

Suddenly an alarm sounded and Robin called Cyborg and urgently ordered, "Titans, to the cellblock now!"

Cyborg and Raven turned and took off running as they made it to the entrance of the cellblock; the Titans and the Titans East assembled and prepared. H8-Bit zapped himself out of a power box and materialized in front of them as he stared at all of them while they stood heroically.

Bumblebee hovered in the air as she held her stingers and said, "Ready for round 3?"

H8-Bit smiled deviously as he said, "Actually I'm ready to make a new friend and get some payback on old ones."

Cyborg pounded his fist as he bravely said, "Sorry buddy. You want to get to Blood you gotta go through us."

H8-Bit smiled deviously as he said, "No problem. By the way, I brought some new friends I'd like you all to meet."

Cyborg immediately became worried as he said, "Say what?!"

Right on cue, four other young villains joined H8-Bit as they entered the cellblock and showed off their different powers and abilities. The first one was a boy who blasted a hole in the wall wore a blueish black costume that covered his whole body but showed his muscular build as he was roughly as tall as Robin. He had golden bracelets, a golden battle skirt, and the mouth guard on his mask was golden; he also had green goggles and small antennas on his head. He also had two long insect-like wings coming out of his back that flapped very fast like Bumblebee's. The second teen was a girl who appeared in a small cloud of fog; she looked roughly the same age as Raven. She had tan skin and blue hair and she wore a blue suit that had white symbol on her torso looking like a cloud. She wore yellow goggles on her head that had red lenses, and she wore brown fingerless gloves on her hands and a thick brown cloak draped over her. The third was girl who simply ran in through the open door; she looked to be older than Raven but younger than Starfire. She had white skin and short messy red hair; she wore a dark blue costume composed of a top and long blue pants. She had black shoes and fingerless gloves, she also had bright blue shoulder, knee, and elbow pads and holsters. She wore a dark blue mask that covered most of her face, except for her mouth, and she had silver goggles with blue lenses. The final one was a boy who created a whole in the ceiling before floating down with a glowing blue aura surrounding him. The boy looked the same age as Beast Boy and was just as tall; he had black skin and was bald, and he wore a long sleeve blue shirt with long blue pants and shoes.

All the Titans were surprised as Mas asked, "Quienes son estos personas?"

The bug boy introduced himself as he shouted, "Killer Wasp!"

The blue-haired girl smiled as she introduced herself and yelled, "Cloud 9!"

The red-haired girl smiled psychotically as she said, "Violet!"

The bald boy had a sinister grin as he announced, "Headcase!"

The five young villains stared at the ten Titans with evil grins while Beast Boy complained, "Aww man! Plot twist!"

Killer Wasp hovered in the air and shot blue blasts of energy from his hands and sent Bumblebee flying as she cried in pain. Cloud 9 floated in the air as she shot a lightning bolt from her hands, which the Titans all dodged quickly. Violet pulled out some shruikens and threw them, but Beast Boy turned into a bird and dodged them while Mas and Menos zoomed out of the way. Headcase used telekinesis to lift a large chunk of concrete out of the ground and hurled it at the Titans, but Starfire caught it in her arms and held it in place before tossing it aside. Finally H8-Bit threw his hands out and fired a blast of his pixelated energy that hit Cyborg and knocked him flat on his back.

He grunted angrily as he got back up yelled, "Titans go!"

He clinched his fists and launched six missiles from his shoulders and the five villains scattered to avoid them. Bumblebee flew at Killer Wasp and shot her stingers at him and knocked him to the floor before he got back up. Speedy shot an arrow at Cloud 9 but she floated in place as her body became translucent and the arrow harmlessly passed through her and stuck the wall. Starfire shot her eyebeams at H8-Bit but he created a force-field and blocked them before dropping it with an annoyed expression.

H8-Bit then glared daggers as he pointed his finger and said, "Cyborg is mine! The rest of you handle the others!"

The five young villains scattered, as did all of the Titans as they split up into groups of two to fight each villain. Beast Boy turned into a cheetah and ran beside Aqualad as they both hurried toward Cloud 9 and jumped toward her. Robin pulled out his bo staff while Speedy got an arrow ready and they both stood in front of Violet as they prepared to fight. Mas sat on Menos' shoulders as they ran with their superspeed and started zipping around Killer Wasp while he hovered in the air. Raven and Starfire took flight as they followed Headcase out through the hole in the ceiling and then the three of them floated over the roof as Headcase's eyes glowed blue. Bumblebee stayed with Cyborg as she hovered beside him as they both stared at H8-Bit across the cellblock.

Cyborg glanced at Bumblebee as he said, "Yo go help the others, I'll handle H8-Bit."

Bumblebee stubbornly refused as she glared at H8-Bit with her stingers glowing yellow as she said, "No way Sparky! We'll beat him together."

H8-Bit smiled mockingly as he goaded, "Aww, how romantic. Your girlfriend doesn't want to abandon you."

Cyborg glared at H8-Bit as he retorted, "At least I can get a girlfriend!"

H8-Bit quickly became angry as he glared at them and exclaimed, "You could do lots of things I couldn't, but not anymore! I'm pulling your plug!"

He then angrily held out his left hand as it glowed blue with his pixelated energy, which he prepared to shoot at them.

Commercial break

H8-Bit fired a blast of his pixelated energy at Cyborg and Bumblebee but they both dodged it before Bumblebee flew at H8-Bit. She rapidly fired blasts of yellow energy from her stingers, but he dodged them and then swung his right hand and made an object of his pixelated energy hit her and knock her aside. He smiled as he stared at her until he was hit by a sonic blast and knocked into the wall behind him and he saw Cyborg aiming his left sonic cannon at him.

H8-Bit stood up as Cyborg stared at him with a serious expression as he solemnly said, "Look Keiji, I'm sorry I sold you out and I'm sorry about how your life turned out, but none of this is going to change anything. You don't have to do this."

H80Bit glared at Cyborg as he sarcastically said, "Oh you're trying to reason with me? You think you can change me and help put me on the right path? Not a chance!"

He then teleported in front of Cyborg and blasted him and knocked him on his back, but Cyborg immediately got back up and deactivated his sonic cannon. He then activated both of his energy whips and started lashing them at H8-Bit, shocking him each time and making him cry in pain. He then lassoed H8-Bit with his energy whips and made him cry in pain, but H8-Bit teleported out of them and appeared in front of him. He then created a pixelated mallet in his hand and swung it at Cyborg's face and knocked him down to the floor. Cyborg looked up as H8-Bit stood over him and prepared to swing the mallet down on him, but Bumblebee flew by his face in her tiny size and kicked him in the face. She knocked him away from Cyborg and made his pixelated energy mallet disappear before she returned to normal size and kindly helped Cyborg back on his feet. They both looked at H8-Bit as his legs turned into a tail of pixelated energy and he floated over them with his hands glowing blue.

He smiled psychotically as he stared down at both of them and said, "Take out your girlfriend too huh? Bonus!"

He then fired a blue blast of his pixelated energy at them and they dodged the blast before Bumblebee shot her stingers at him.

Meanwhile Speedy and Robin were righting Violet as she smiled at Robin and said, "Nice to see you again Boy Wonder."

Speedy looked at Robin out of the corner of his eye as he asked, "You know this girl?"

Robin glared at her as he begrudgingly said, "I met her a few times in Gotham?"

She then pulled out a laser pistol and aimed it at him as he said, "Time to settle some old scores!"

She shot a red laser at Robin but he dodged it and threw a birdarang, which knocked the laser pistol out of Violet's hand. She glared at him before Speedy shot an arrow at her but she dodged it and pulled out a disc and threw it as it slid between the two masked vigilantes. It was beeping and they quickly scattered before it exploded, then Robin ran at Violet with his bo staff while yelling in fury. Speedy joined him he swung his bow while Robin swung his staff but Violet dodged both of them and then performed a roundhouse kick to Speedy and knocked him on Robin. Meanwhile Starfire and Raven were floating over the prison as they fought Headcase, who stared at them with his eyes glowing blue. He then surrounded two patrol cars in his blue aura and telekinetically lifted them in the air before hurling them at Raven and Starfire. Raven dodged the patrol car hurled at her but the other one hit Starfire and knocked her away, but she recovered and then put her hands together and threw a starbolt at Headcase. He created a psionic shield that protected him as the starbolt exploded against it, then he dropped the shield and encased Starfire's body in a field of his blue aura. He then used psionic force to pressure her as she started crying and screaming in pain while Headcase smiled evilly. Suddenly Headcase's body was encased in Raven's black magic and he was frightened as he released Starfire. Raven released him from her magic as she glared at him while floating with her cloak blowing in the wind while he glared at her.

He then held his hands up and said, "Perhaps it's time for a meeting of the minds."

Raven held her hands out toward him as she fiercely replied, "That's just what I was thinking."

She then shot a ray of her black magic at him while he shot a blue psionic blast at her and their powers collided and caused a small shockwave of energy. Meanwhile Killer Wasp was flying in a hallway as he shot blue blasts of energy from his hand and tried to zap Mas and Menos as they zoomed around. They stopped a few times to taunt him but zoomed away to dodge his energy blasts while he became angry and started to lose patience.

He kept blasting at them as he said, "Hold still you little pests!"

They kept dodging his blasts before running in a circle beneath him, creating a small tornado that spun him around and made him fall to the floor. They smiled as they stopped in front of him, but he flew at them and tried to punch them, but they dodged as they spread out, then regrouped and ran at him with superspeed. They rammed him and sent him flying away before he recovered and hovered in the air as he started blasting at them again. Meanwhile Beast Boy and Aqualad were fighting Cloud 9 in another hallway as Beast Boy morphed into a bird and flew at her while Aqualad ran on foot. She floated in the air with an evil grin as she held her hands out and caused a strong gust of wind that blew Beast Boy back through the air and smacked him into Aqualad's face. Aqualad pulled him off and tossed him aside as Beast Boy reverted to his human form and fell on his head. Aqualad jumped at Cloud 9 and tried to punch her but she threw her hands out and caused another gust of wind that blew him back as well. Aqualad and Beast Boy got on their feet and glared at her while she smiled mockingly at them, then Aqualad threw his hands out and made pipes burst out of the walls. They started flooding the hallway as Beast Boy morphed into a shark and swam with Aqualad as they both hurried toward Cloud 9, who floated just above the water. She then smiled deviously as she held her hands out and let out a puff of air from her mouth, she made the temperature drop as it started freezing the water into ice. As the water froze Beast Boy morphed into an elephant and broke through it to escape with Aqualad as they broke out of it.

Beast Boy then reverted to his human form and shivered while his teeth chattered and he complained, "Dude! That was NOT cool!"

Aqualad then stood on the ice and glared at Cloud 9 as he said, "Well I'm about to break the ice."

He then concentrated his power as he lifted his arms up and made a huge chunk of ice right out and float in the air. He then used his powers to hurl the ice at Cloud 9, and though she was startled she phased through it and then smiled smugly.

Beast Boy was impressed as he said, "Aqualad, I didn't know you could do that."

He proudly commented, "I've been practicing."

Cloud 9 chuckled sinisterly as she said, "Well I hope you're ready for a change in weather."

She then held her hands out as she turned up the heat and made the ice start to melt as Aqualad and Beast Boy sank in it. Beast Boy morphed into a crocodile and swam with Aqualad as he jumped out of the water and tried to punch Cloud 9. Meanwhile Cyborg and Bumblebee were still fighting H8-Bit together as he flew in the air with a tail of energy and tried to blast Bumblebee. She dodged his blasts when Cyborg used his Jump Jets to launch himself at H8-Bit from behind and grabbed him and slammed him into the wall.

They both stood in a hole in the wall as Cyborg held H8-Bit and said, "Come on Keiji! I don't want to hurt you!"

H8-Bit shot a beam of his pixelated energy from his visor and blasted Cyborg off of him and knocked him to the floor.

Bumblebee came to help him and then H8-Bit floated in the air with his energy tail as he said, "Too bad Vic!"

He then blasted at the two of them while Brother Blood smiled evilly and watched everything from his prison cell. Meanwhile, Mas and Menos kept fighting Killer Wasp as they zoomed every which way and dodged his energy blasts. He tried to fly at them and hit them but missed as he landed and then they came running at him, but he blasted at them and separated them.

They both fell down and tried to regroup but he flew between them and gloated, "Not so fast without your brother huh?!"

He then blasted at Mas before turning to Menos and they both managed to narrowly dodge his blasts as they ran away.

Mas then glared at Killer Wasp as he said, "No puedes cazarnos a las dos al mismo tiempo!"

They ran in opposite directions as Menos taunted Killer Wasp by blowing a raspberry at him and then Killer Wasp flew at him and kicked him to the floor. He prepared to finish him when Mas jumped on Killer Wasp's back and covered his goggles while Killer Wasp tried to shake him off.

Mas held on tightly as Killer Wasp angrily said, "Get off of me!"

Mas kept holding on while Menos jumped on Killer Wasp's front, and then he and Mas joined hands and got on the floor while holding onto Killer Wasp. They then zoomed off as they held him over their heads while he cried in distress, then they stopped on a dime and released him and sent him crashing through a wall, knocking him out.

The twins happily high-fived and cheered, "Mas y Menos si podemos!"

Meanwhile Headcase continued to fight Raven as he countered her black magic with his blue psionic blasts. He used his telekinesis to lift a giant chunk of concrete in the air, but Raven encased it in her black magic and they both tried to use their powers to move the chunk where they wanted. It stayed in place as they both grunted and struggled to maintain their focus; Starfire flew behind Headcase and punched him in the head. She knocked him out and caught him when he started falling and then Raven moved the chunk of concrete away. She smiled at Starfire as they both looked at Headcase; meanwhile Robin and Speedy kept fighting Violet. She managed to dodge their weapons before performing a roundhouse kick that knocked them both away. Violet walked toward Robin with an evil grin as she pulled out a blade, but he threw a flash bomb at her and blinded her. She cried in pain while Speedy shot an arrow at her, which exploded on impact and knocked her down as she passed out.

Robin and Speedy stood over her as Robin said, "Just like old times."

Meanwhile Aqualad and Beast Boy kept trying to fight Cloud 9 in the flooded hallway, Aqualad rode a small tidal wave that he sent toward her. She held her hands out and created a current of wind that blew the water back, then Aqualad sank down while she floated over the water with a smug grin. Suddenly three green tentacles rose out of the water and grabbed Cloud 9 under as she saw Beast Boy as an octopus. She held her breath as she glared at Beast Boy and prepared to phase out, but Aqualad swam at her and punched her in the face. She was knocked out and Aqualad made the water wash away as the hall was no longer flooded and Beast Boy turned human.

They both smiled down at Cloud 9 as Beast Boy said, "Nice weather we're having."

Meanwhile H8-Bit continued flying in the air with a tail of energy as he shot a ray of his pixelated energy that Cyborg and Bumblebee dodged. Bumblebee shot her stingers at H8-Bit but he formed a barrier that blocked the blasts, then Cyborg detached his left arm and sent it flying through the air. It turned and moved around H8-Bit's barrier and flew at him and punched him in the face, knocking him down as his legs reformed. He got off the floor as Bumblebee landed in front of him while Cyborg joined her and reattached his arm.

Bumblebee aimed her stingers at H8-Bit as she said, "Give it up hacker! You lose!"

H8-Bit glanced around and noticed the rest of the Titans come in with the unconscious villains they defeated.

He looked back at Cyborg, who said, "It's over Keiji."

H8-Bit smiled deviously as he said, "Now might be the time to mention I brought some more help."

Suddenly there was a small earthquake going on and Cinderblock dug himself out of the floor and entered the cellblock and roared loudly. Overload then zapped himself in through a power cable and Plasmus oozed in before forming and shrieking loudly.

Cyborg then complained, "Aww come on!"

Overload was floating in the air as the shot ball lightning and blasted Raven and Starfire through the ceiling before flying after them. Plasmus shrieked as he approached Robin, Speedy, Mas, and Menos as they retreated into another hallway. Cinderblock then tried to stomp his foot and crush Aqualad, but Beast Boy morphed into an Ankylosaurus and swung his clubbed tail at him. He knocked Cinderblock over and tried to hit him again, but Cinderblock grabbed his tail and stood up as he threw the green Ankylosaurus and sent him crashing through a wall. Cinderblock then ran after Beast Boy to attack him again while Aqualad followed him to try and help Beast Boy. Bumblebee became worried she looked up and heard Overload fighting Raven and Starfire before looking at H8-Bit, who smiled evilly.

Cyborg looked at Bumblebee as he urgently said, "You go give Raven and Star some help, I'll be fine!"

Bumblebee stared at him reluctantly before nodding, then she flew up through the hole, then H8-Bit said, "Alone at last."

He then changed to his pixelated form and Cyborg fired his right sonic cannon at him, but H8-Bit dodged it and then he became a pixelated T-Rex. He roared as he charged at Cyborg and grabbed him in his mouth before crashing through the wall and leaving the cellblock. Brother Blood stared at the hole they made from inside his cell when a guard came up to his cell and transformed, revealing herself to be Madame Rouge, who smiled evilly. Meanwhile Robin, Speedy, Mas, and Menos were fighting Plasmus in another chamber as he shot globs of his slop at them. They dodged his slop and then Robin swung his bo at Plasmus, but his attacks did little to no damage as he absorbed the blows. Speedy shot a few arrows that stuck into Plasmus' stomach but he absorbed them into his body and then spit them back out. Mas and Menos stacked up as they ran at Plasmus and hit him in his legs and arms and knocked chunks out of him but they reformed. The twins stopped and stared at him in fear as he made a tongue of his slop come out of his mouth and lashed it at the two of them. They separated and dodged the tongue as it hit the floor, but the end split in two and grabbed the twins and pulled them into his mouth. They were both trapped in two of his green bubbly eyes as they held their breath and desperately struggled. Plasmus turned around just as Speedy shot an arrow at his face, which exploded and popped Plasmus' head.

Mas and Menos were both free as they wiped goo off themselves while complaining, "Eso es tan asqueroso!"

Plasmus oozed back together and held his arms out as he shrieked viciously while Mas and Menos stared at him in fear. The ran away and joined Robin and Speedy as Plasmus shrieked viciously and stretched his arms out and tried to smash them.

They dodged his arms while they returned to their regular shape and Robin said, "I've got an idea, Mas, Menos, keep him busy!"

They agreed and started zooming around Plasmus as he tried to attack them but kept missing, then Robin pulled out a disc and threw it. The disc went into Plasmus' mouth and started shocking him with electricity as he cried in pain, then Speedy aimed a special arrow. The end of it glowed blue as he shot it at Plasmus and it froze him in ice, trapping him and leaving him unable to fight. Robin and Speedy smiled at each other before they were joined by Mas and Menos, who gave them happy grins. Meanwhile Cinderblock crashed through the outer wall of the prison as he stumbled backwards outside toward the water. Beast Boy emerged from the hole as a T-Rex and roared as he charged at Cinderblock while Aqualad jumped on his back. Aqualad got on Beast Boy's head as Beast Boy charged at Cinderblock and when he came close Aqualad jumped off his head and punched Cinderblock in the face.

He made Cinderblock fall backwards and splash down into the harbor, and Aqualad said, "I have a feeling he can't swim."

He was about to leave when suddenly a small earthquake occurred and a small tidal wave hit Beast Boy and Aqualad and knocked them down. Beast Boy reverted to his human form as he got up and then he and Aqualad jumped into the water as Beast Boy turned into a barracuda. They swam down and saw Cinderblock standing on the seabed as he stomped his foot and started smashing his fists into the concrete supporting the prison.

Beast Boy then telepathically said, "He can't swim but he can't drown either!"

Aqualad swam down as he urgently said, "Let's stop him before he sinks the whole prison!"

Cinderblock looked up and saw them as he roared with bubbles coming out of his mouth before he jumped toward them. He tried to grab them but they swam away from him before he sank back down, but then he lifted a huge chunk of earth out of the seabed and threw it at them. They both dodged it as Aqualad swam at Cinderblock and punched him in the face and made him stumble back, but Cinderblock remained on his feet and swatted Aqualad away like a bug. Beast Boy turned into a Mosasaurus as he swam at Cinderblock and rammed him, knocking him down, but Cinderblock got up and stomped his foot. He caused a small earthquake that made the water on the surface shake violently as waves formed; Aqualad noticed this and then used his telepathy to call for help. A pod of blue whales then swam by and joined them while Beast Boy turned into one and together they used their echolocation to make a loud noise. Cinderblock roared in pain as he held the sides of his head, trying to block out the noise before Aqualad swam and punched him in the face three times. Beast Boy then changed from a whale to a Spinosaurus and swam at Cinderblock and slashed his claws at his face.

He knocked him on his back and knocked him out as he laid on the seabed while Aqualad smiled victoriously. Meanwhile Overload floated above the prison as he shot lightning bolts at Starfire, Raven, and Bumblebee. The three girls dodged his attacks before shooting rays of their respective energies at him, but they did not seem to have any effect. Overload only grunted as he changed shape and stretch his arm out and hit Starfire with it, zapping her as she cried in pain. He put the tips of his arms together and threw ball lightning at Raven, but she blocked it with a force-field. Bumblebee angrily shot her stingers at Overload but he absorbed the energy and then teleported behind her in a flash of lightning. He lashed his arm at her but she turned and saw him before shrinking to her smaller size and dodging him while he searched for her. Suddenly a chunk of concrete encased in Raven's black magic hit overload and was destroyed against him and then he turned to see Raven.

Her eyes glowed white as she held her hands out and chanted, "Azarath Metrion Zinthos!"

She shot bolts of black lightning at Overload, which seemed to hurt him as he grunted in pain, but then he turned into a lightning bolt and hit Raven. He zapped her and made her cry in pain before turning to his monstrous form as he tried to grab her with his arms. Suddenly a tiny Bumblebee flew in front of Overload's face and blasted him with her stingers, distracting him. He turned his attention away from Raven as she flew away and he tried to hit Bumblebee before she flew up and grew to her normal size. Overload then flew at Bumblebee and jabbed his arms at her but she dodged and managed to avoid being touched by him. He then zapped her with a small bolt of lightning that made her cry in pain as she fell for a moment before Starfire helped her. Bumblebee glared at Overload and watched his glowing body before looking at her stingers while Raven joined them.

Bumblebee looked at them as she said, "I got an idea! Cover me!"

She then flew at Overload as he stretched his arms out toward her but Raven blocked them with a barrier of her dark energy. He tried to shoot bolts of lightning at them but Starfire bombarded him with her starbolts and prevented him from doing so. Bumblebee then flew at him and stabbed his torso with one of her stingers as she started absorbing his electricity into herself. The energy surged as sparks shot around her body before she pointed her other stinger up and fired all the electricity straight up into the sky, creating several lightning bolts. Overload's power had been depleted as his energy body vanished and Bumblebee caught his computer chip head in her hand.

Bumblebee smiled smugly as she looked at him and said, "Sorry Overload, the power's out."

Meanwhile Cyborg was sent crashing through a wall into a large chamber before H8-Bit rolled through the wall as a pixelated energy tank. He blasted at Cyborg and almost hit him before Cyborg dodged him and activated the energy cannon in his chest. He fired it H8-Bit and disrupted his powers as he changed to his humanoid pixelated form, but he flew at Cyborg and punched him in the face. He sent Cyborg flying before he ignited his Jump Jets in the air and launched himself back at H8-Bit while yelling in fury. H8-Bit held his left hand out and created a giant fist of his pixelated energy that punched Cyborg and knocked him away.

Cyborg slammed into a wall and groaned in pain as he got up and said, "Come on Keiji, stop it! This isn't you!"

H8-Bit changed to his normal form as he furiously said, "I'm sick of your goody-goody attitude! You become a cyborg while I become an energy freak! I become a hated criminal while you become a hero!"

He then shot a beam of pixelated energy from his visor, but Cyborg dodged it and then jumped and fired the sonic blaster in his left foot.

He hit H8-Bit and knocked him down before angrily saying, "You want to be the bad guy? Fine! But don't blame it on me!"

H8-Bit got up and glared at Cyborg before smiling maniacally as he raised his arms and said, "Enough games! Time to take you for a spin!"

He then fired a ray of his pixelated energy at Cyborg and made him cry in pain as he tried to take control of his body again. Cyborg gritted his teeth as he grunted in fury as he tried to keep H8-Bit from taking control of his body while H8-Bit kept hitting him with more pixelated energy.

He showed a sickly amused expression as he said, "Give it up Vic! I can control any technology! You can't resist me! You're just a machine!"

Cyborg then opened his eyes and stared at H8-Bit as he defiantly said, "No I'm not! I may be metal, but I'm nobody's toy!"

He started resisting H8-Bit's energy while he said, "What?!"

He kept shooting more of his pixelated energy at Cyborg but it began to have no effect as Cyborg managed to somehow deflect it back at H8-Bit. The blast hit him and made him cry in pain as he fell to his knees while Cyborg started marching toward him.

While he marched Cyborg fiercely said, "I'm a man! Not a machine! One thing about me you can never break is my spirit! That's something you can't hack! You hate me for what happened to you, but you brought it on yourself!"

H8-Bit then glared at Cyborg with his left fist glowing blue with pixelated energy as he tried to attack him, but Cyborg punched him in the face and knocked him out before he could do so. Cyborg stood over him and stared down at him with a serious expression while the other Titans came in the room and saw him.

Robin smiled as he said, "Way to go Cyborg!"

Bumblebee flew next to him and smiled charmingly as she said, "Nice job Sparky."

Beast Boy smiled happily as he said, "Sweet! We beat eight bad guys and stopped a really bad one from getting out! We win!"

Speedy suddenly came in with an alarmed expression as he urgently said, "He's gone! Brother Blood escaped!"

The others were shocked and horrified while Cyborg looked at Beast Boy and sarcastically said, "You just had to say that."

Sometime later, they helped the guards secure H8-Bit, Violet, Headcase, Cloud 9, Killer Wasp, Cinderblock, Plasmus, and Overload in special cells. When they were done, the Titans and the Titans East gathered to discuss the escape of Brother Blood.

Cyborg looked at the others as he seriously said, "We talked to H8-Bit. He doesn't know how Brother Blood escaped. Those guys we fought were the only ones he had helping him."

Robin narrowed his eyes with his arms folded as he suspiciously speculated, "Someone else broke him out during our battle."

Raven was displeased as she said, "He's long gone by now."

Aqualad looked at them as he curiously asked, "Anything else?"

Bumblebee had her arms folded with a vexed expression as she said, "We asked H8-Bit how he knew so much about us. He said he learned from some people who said they hated us, but he didn't know who they were."

Starfire put her finger to her chin with a leery expression as she said, "This is most concerning."

Mas and Menos were also concerned as Menos asked, "Que otra cosa?"

Bumblebee put her wrists on her hips in displeasure as she said, "He met some other guy he didn't know who told him about all our powers and told him how those other goons could help. That's all we could get out of him."

The twins looked at each other as Mas said, "Esto es espeluznante."

Menos nodded in agreement, Cyborg clinched his fists as he angrily said, "Man! Even after all that Brother Blood's free!"

Bumblebee smiled sweetly at Cyborg as she said, "Look at the bright side Sparky, we may have lost one prisoner but we got eight new ones, and you beat H8-Bit all by yourself. You showed him that you're a better man than he is."

Robin smiled proudly as he commended, "Bumblebee's right Cyborg. You really proved yourself today."

Cyborg smiled with appreciation as he said, "Thanks guys."

Bumblebee smiled at Cyborg before looking away while she said, "We'll catch Blood again, for now I say we celebrate. Unless you want to get back on the road."

Cyborg looked at her reluctantly before looking at Beast Boy and Raven, Raven had a sly smile on her face while Beast Boy smiled and nodded excitedly.

Cyborg then hesitantly turned to Bumblebee as he said, "Actually Bumblebee, I was thinking, and I'll take you up on your offer for a movie if you don't mind."

Bumblebee smiled happily as she hovered next to him and kissed him on the cheek before saying, "You're man enough for me Sparky."

She then held his left hand and started dragging him away while she flew away and he blushed brightly while the others smiled supportively.

Cyborg then happily clinched his fist as he exclaimed, "Booyah!"

As they left Robin looked suspicious and Starfire looked at him and asked, "Robin, what troubles you?"

Robin stared into space as he said, "This was all just a big distraction. Someone used H8-Bit and those other villains to distract us while they freed Brother Blood on their own. Someone else has been behind all of this, and I have a bad feeling we're all in trouble."

Meanwhile in a dark lair

Madame Rouge escorted the now free Brother Blood into a room and lead him to a certain spot as she said, "Our guest has arrived."

Slade stepped out of the shadows and into the light as he said, "Welcome Brother Blood."

Brother Blood showed a devious smile as he said, "Ah, Mr. Slade. So good to see you again."

The Brain, General Immortus, and Monsieur Mallah also came into the light as the Brain said, "How nice to have likeminded company."

Brother Blood glanced at them before turning to Slade with an insidious grin as he said, "And the infamous Brotherhood of Evil. What a treat? Your assistance is much appreciated, but I can't help but wonder why?"

Slade stared at Brother Blood with an evil look in his eye as he said, "We have a proposition for you. With you and one more ally we believe we may finally be able to wipe out all of the Titans permanently."

Brother Blood smiled evilly as he said, "I'm listening."

Credits

Author's note: That's the end of this chapter. Things are getting very interesting. I read about H8-Bit online and thought he'd be a good villain to include. I plan to have him in more episodes of future seasons. He's not that popular yet and there's not much about him, so I sort of made up my own ideas for powers of his. I got some of my ideas from Livewire, Electro, and heroes with powers like Argent of the Green Lantern. H8-Bit is technically a being made of his pure energy so he can use his pixelated energy in different ways and for different purposes. He can fly but only when he turns his body or part of his body into pixelated energy, and when turning into pixelated energy he can sort of shapeshift. He also has technopathy and can control some technology using his powers, but Cyborg can resist him because of his will. Now Cyborg and Bumblebee are officially a couple and everyone is happy for them. Please review.
