Chapter 37: Wavelength
The stars shone brightly in the night sky above Jump City as the citizens and its resident heroes slept through the quiet time. Sora and Stitch were both passed out on their beds with Sora's snoring echoing across his room. Stitch squirmed around in his own bed when suddenly the alarm sound played in the room along with the flashing red lights, waking Stitch up. He quickly crawled over to Sora and shook him around.
"*yawn* Give me a sec," Sora groaned, rolling around on his bed. Stitch smacked his face before crawling under Sora's bed, lifting it up and shaking Sora off and onto the ground, waking him up.
"Huh-what?! What's going on?" Sora said drowsily, looking up to see the red lights flashing. "Uh-oh," He said, quickly cleaning himself up and getting his clothes on before running out of the room with Stitch on his shoulder. He continued down the hall where he ran into Rose.
"What's going on?" Sora asked.
"No clue. Someone must've tripped the alarm," Rose said. The two regrouped with Raven, Robin, Starfire, and Cyborg, who was dragging a still sleeping Beast Boy in his hand. The team ran to the entrance of the tower where the sound of loud banging could be heard from the other side. Cyborg dropped Beast Boy to the ground, finally waking the green changeling, while he and the others armed themselves when the doors were slowly forced open, revealing a silhouette with strands of seaweeds hanging from its arm while stepping into the light, showing a familiar face wearing a blue and black leotard with slicked back black hair.
"Aqualad?!" Everyone but Rose and a still drowsy Beast Boy, said.
"Your trash is in my ocean," Aqualad commented. Rose slowly leaned over to Sora in order to confirm something.
"This was the guy that argued with Beast Boy right?" She asked.
"You got it," Sora said.
(Later, in the Ops Room)
Aqualad stood in front of the computer while the Titans sat on the couch as the screen showed a schematic of a huge base underwater. It was a tall, slender structure with hemispherical domes at the top and bottom, with the curved surface facing upward and the support arms extending from the ground.
"An undersea fortress, fifty miles off the coast, built by the former headmaster of the H.I.V.E. Academy, Brother Blood," Aqualad stated, pushing a remote button and changing the screen into a picture of the H.I.V.E leader. "I'm pretty sure you guys have already met," He continued.
"Yeah, we go way back. I went undercover as one of his brainwashed students but after I destroyed his school, we kinda lost touch," Cyborg remarked.
"I just thought he moved his school far from the city, so he could continue with whatever he was up to without us getting in the way," Sora said.
"He did but instead of your city, he moved to mine. I tried to take him down on my own but Blood used his mental powers to jam my telepathy. With no fish to help me…" Aqualad said.
"…You got schooled," Beast Boy finished.
"Pretty much. But I was able to contact an agent within the H.I.V.E., and find out what the fortress is hiding," Aqualad said, pushing another button as the screen changed to another view of the interior fortress, showing a huge cannon pointed upwards. "A massive sonic resonator, capable of creating a tidal wave big enough to wipe out your entire city," Aqualad said while the screen showed a demonstration of the tidal wave destroying the city. Everyone gasped in shock when Rose noticed something.
"Wait, why does that look so familiar?" Rose asked, looking closely at the resonator. Cyborg suddenly gasped in shock while walking closer to the screen.
"Yo! That's not just any sonic resonator…that's my SONIC CANNON!" Cyborg yelled in anger, showing his weapon to everyone.
"But…how is that possible?" Sora asked.
"Remember when he hacked into the H.I.V.E. Academy computer? Well, the H.I.V.E. hacked him right back. Blood managed to download everything in his central schematic database," Aqualad explained.
"He read my blueprints?! MY PRIVATE BLUEPRINTS?!" Cyborg shouted to the roof, while the circuits in his head whirled around like crazy.
"And now he's using your technology to attack the city," Raven added.
"Then this is my mission. I'm taking Blood down with my own two hands!" Cyborg roared while his circuits turned red for a little bit and lightning shot out of his hands. He then turns back to the others while his circuits turned back to blue. "All right, listen up! While I go after him, y'all are gonna-" Cyborg began to bark orders.
"Cyborg," Robin calmly said, breaking Cyborg's rant. "They're your blueprints, so you're the only one who can shut down the resonator. While you're doing that, we will capture Blood," Robin proposed.
"No, man, come on! This is personal! Just gimme a chance to-" Cyborg argued.
"We don't have time! Cyborg, only you know how to stop this thing, it's not like we study your schematics 24/7. So, you have to stop this thing while we go and stop Blood. Aqualad, when is this thing supposed to go off?" Rose asked.
"The resonator will be fully operational by sunset," Aqualad answered.
"Someone needs to back him up while he's stopping the cannon. I'll go with him," Sora said.
"Sounds like a good idea. Here's what else we need to do," Robin said, beginning a plan. Cyborg looked at the team with a disappointed face at his position. Sora turned to see Cyborg looking down and walked up to him.
"Don't worry Cy. We'll stop Blood together," Sora said.
"I know, it's just- I was so looking forward to bringing him down myself. I could've just told you guys how to stop it," Cyborg said.
"Yeah but you know we're not the best at machines, not like you," Sora said.
"Ha-ha, truer words," Cyborg said, walking up to the team with Sora.
(Later, in the Tower Bay Hatch)
The T-Ship was quickly prepped and ready to launch into the sea as Rose took Sora's cockpit since he decided to swim with Beast Boy and Aqualad. Stitch once again elected to stay behind and guard the Tower while everyone else headed out. Sora put his earpiece in and saluted the others as they launched the ship into the water. Sora nodded to Beast Boy and Aqualad, jumping into the water with them and swimming ahead of the T-Ship in order to guide them. They swam past a lot of sea life until it started getting really dark.
"We can barely see anything," Ravager said.
"Hold on," Sora said, creating a ball of light in his hand while Beast Boy turned into an angler fish and used his light appendage to guide the ship.
"It's a giant underwater fortress. It shouldn't be that hard to find," Ravager said.
"Maybe we should pull over and ask for directions," Raven joked.
"There!" Starfire said, pointing past some rocks. Everyone turned to see a large blue dome filled with circuitry and covered with a honeycomb of bracing members.
"Yep, that's definitely Blood," Cyborg said.
"Let's find a way to get inside," Robin said, maneuvering the ship towards the fortress with Sora, Aqualad, and Beast Boy following it.
(Meanwhile, inside the fortress)
Brother Blood, once again dressed in his yellow and black robes with a skull in the center of it, was sitting in a throne in the middle of a computer chamber where several H.I.V.E. soldiers dressed in black and yellow armor worked on the computers. The large monitor in the chamber turned on to show Aqualad and the Teen Titans heading towards the fortress.
"Ah, yes. The fish-scented failure returns. And's he brought our old friend Cyborg," Brother Blood said while the monitor zoomed in on Cyborg's face. "Marvelous. I'll finally have a chance to thank him for the use of his blueprints," Blood said.
"Do not forget our deal, Brother Blood," a manipulative, female voice said. Blood gritted his teeth before standing from his throne in order to address his two new guests. The voice belonged to a fair, green-skinned woman with yellow eyes shadowed with violet make-up, lips painted red, her head topped with a black-horned headdress, she was wearing a long, tattered black robe with a purple trim and maroon edges which flare out and she was carrying a staff with a glowing green orb at the tip. Her partner was, for lack of a better term, a fat, black furred anthropomorphized cat wearing a suit of armor colored in shades of blue and purple overtop a red, short-sleeved shirt with a vertical pink stripe descending from the neck. He was also wearing navy blue and white sneakers, navy blue pants, pouches attached to his pants, a large zipper going between the legs, two navy blue pauldrons, and a pair of fingerless gauntlets.
"Yes, yes Maleficent. I know the deal. As soon as the resonator destroys the city, you'll be allowed to search freely for this…box?" Brother Blood said.
"That's right. And in return, you'll get to have as many Heartless as you want to boss around," Pete added, laughing at the plan.
"I still don't see why we need these creatures when we already have our own army?" said one of the H.I.V.E.'s former students. Said student was a young black girl wearing a gold belt with a B insignia on it, gold wrist guards, sleeveless black-and-yellow-striped turtleneck halter top, black pants and boots, wings sprouting from her back, and her hair tied into two large puffs. This was Bumblebee. Maleficent smirked to herself before manifesting a ball of darkness in her hand. Suddenly, three yellow and black Heartless in the shape of bees appeared and struck down three guards that were standing next to the entrance with their stingers. Bumblebee's eyes widened while Blood couldn't help but smirk to himself.
"Impressive, very impressive. Do not worry Maleficent. Cyborg and the Teen Titans won't stop us this time," Brother Blood said.
"Very good, Blood. But remember where your place is in this deal of ours or you'll regret ever turning against me," Maleficent warned, creating a dark corridor and entering it with Pete following her. The portal closed while more and more Heartless appeared.
"I don't trust them," Bumblebee said.
"Neither do I Bumblebee but it doesn't matter. I don't want them getting in the way of my plans. As soon as they go looking for this box, I'll launch another tidal wave, destroying them in the process, then no one will stand in the H.I.V.E.'s way. But in the meantime, why don't we entertain our guests? Release the mind-controlled squid," Brother Blood ordered. Bumblebee nods, walking towards a computer panel and pressing a few buttons.
(Back out in the Open Ocean)
Sora, Aqualad, Beast Boy and the T-Ship were getting closer to the fortress when Sora saw something huge heading their way.
"What is that?" Sora asked.
"What's what?" Aqualad asked telepathically. Suddenly, a giant squid with blue circuitry on its tentacles and head and bright red eye implants on its body zoomed right past them and headed towards the T-Ship.
"Guys, heads up!" Sora yelled but it was too late as the squid seized the Ship and began to drag it down.
"Hey! That's my tech, too! Doesn't that dude have any ideas of his own?! Cyborg yelled in the radio.
"Evasive maneuvers!" Robin ordered.
"Employing electric charge!" Ravager said, pressing some buttons . A powerful electric charge crackled over the hull and shocked the giant kraken, freeing the Ship and allowing it to fly off. The kraken began to give chase but was blocked by Sora, Aqualad, and Beast Boy, who was now a great white shark.
"Don't forget about us!" Sora said, readying his keyblade. Aqualad tried to talk to the squid with his telepathy but found himself being blocked off.
"Blood has this one under control too," Aqualad said.
"Then I guess we're doing it the old fashioned way," Beast Boy communicated. The water hero nodded before swimming up to the squid and punching it right in the face but finds himself entangled by the squid's grip. Sora and Beast Boy swim over and began to cut through the tentacles, freeing Aqualad but the squid quickly retaliates by releasing a thick black cloud of ink around the three. Sora coughs from the ink while creating a ball of light while Beast Boy turned into an anglerfish again. Aqualad swims over and clears the area of the ink.
"Where did it go?" Sora asked.
"No!" Robin's voice breaks through the radio and the three look to see the squid crushing the T-Ship again, this time succeeding as the Ship explodes into pieces while the five passengers begin to sink to the bottom. Thinking fast, Beast Boy turns into a humpback whale and opens his mouth wide, scooping up the Titans and swam away from the pursuing squid.
"Good thinking Beast Boy. Just stay ahead of that squid. Aqualad and I will deal with the rest," Sora said. He and Aqualad swim after it and are able to land a few hits but the squid manages to knock them both aside while chasing after Beast Boy. The two land on the ocean rocks and look to see Beast Boy and the squid heading right for them. Aqualad looked up at some rock formations above them and smiles.
"Good idea," Sora said, understanding the plan. The two swim up and readied themselves as Aqualad destroys one of the formations and Sora fires a Stop spell at the squid, freezing it in place and allowing the rocks to crush it to the ground, destroying it.
"And squished. Good plan Aqualad," Sora said, high-fiving the hero. "You guys ok in there?" Sora said into the radio.
"We will be the sooner we get out of here! Beast Boy really needs to floss!" Ravager yelled.
"Alright, let's head for that entrance," Aqualad said telepathically, swimming away with Sora and Beast Boy following him. Sora and Aqualad slowly surface their heads in order to scope out the place. Making sure that it's clear the two climb out of the water signal for Beast Boy to come out. He does so in a huge splash while spitting the rest of the Titans out and into the chamber. Raven gets up from the ground and notices that one of her boots is missing while Ravager gets up to find her mask missing.
"Four words: breath mints and floss," Raven and Ravager said together. Beast Boy turns back into human and sheepishly coughs up Raven's boot and Ravager's mask. Sora creates a gust of wind in order to clean everyone off while Raven put her boot back on and Ravager does the same with her mask.
"Okay. Does everybody know their assignments?" Robin asked.
"Beast Boy and I need to take out the force field that protects the sonic resonator," Aqualad said.
"Raven, Robin, Ravager and I will attempt to capture the Brother Blood," Starfire said.
"Providing a diversion so that Cyborg can get to the resonator core and stop it. And I'm his back-up," Sora said. Suddenly, a door opens behind them and several H.I.V.E. guards emerge and open fire on the trespassing heroes.
"Looks like we just had a change of plans!" Cyborg said, readying his cannon but Raven creates a shield around them, stopping him.
"You have your assignment! Move!" Robin ordered. Cyborg grunted but began to look for a way out.
"Cyborg! Over here!" Sora yelled, standing next to an opened hatch. Cyborg runs over while Beast Boy and Aqualad dive back into the water and Robin, Ravager, Raven, and Starfire engaged the guards. The two crawl into the hatch which led into a long service duct that was just big enough for Cyborg to crawl through.
"Spiky-headed little know it all. It's my blueprints, my bad guy, and my-" Cyborg ranted.
"Cy, please. I know your mad at this plan but it's the best shot we have at saving the city. Now let's find the cannon and-" Sora said but stopped when he saw a hatch on his right open up. "Huh?" Sora and Cyborg said when the hatch suddenly rotated at a 180 degrees and sending Sora and Cyborg falling. The two yell and fall into a room with a large screen on one of the walls and a ledge running around the perimeter a few feet off the floor. The two crash on the floor and slowly pick themselves up when the screen suddenly turns on, revealing Brother Blood staring at them.
"Cyborg. So nice of you to drop in. And I see that you brought the keyblade wielder with you as well," Brother Blood said.
"Hey, Blood. How've you been?" Sora asked.
"Oh, I've been busy. But don't worry, all of my problems will be dealt with when you and your little team are out of the picture. Say, Cyborg, you remember Bumblebee, don't you?" Brother Blood said as said student walks into the room while pulling two thick bent wires in the shape of B's from her belt. They suddenly glow with yellow energy as she points them at the two Titans.
"You two were my top students at H.I.V.E. Academy. But of course…Bumblebee wasn't a spy!" Brother Blood yelled while Bumblebee fired her energy at the two, making them move out of the way as she continued her attack.
"Okay, so any ideas?" Sora asked.
"Why you asking me?" Cyborg replied.
"You went to the same school and Blood just said you guys were his top students. You gotta know some way to beat her," Sora said but was interrupted by more zaps from Bumblebee. The three eventually found themselves in a standoff.
"Hey there, Bee. Haven't seen you since-" Cyborg said.
"Since you betrayed Headmaster and ruined our school? Bumblebee replied coldly.
"I was gonna say the Sadie Hawkins dance but yeah. That too," Cyborg joked.
"You're gonna pay for that!" Bumblebee yelled.
"Well, we never met. Hi, I'm Sora," Sora said.
"Bumblebee! Nice to meet you," Bumblebee said, in a sarcastic tone.
"Bumblebee! Less talking, more stinging," Brother Blood demanded. Bumblebee fires her stingers again at the two but they counter with their own blasts, making her jump into the air and continue her barrage, forcing them on the defensive. She managed to kick Cyborg into the wall and kick Sora to the ground. Sora quickly gets up and fires multiple light beams at her but she managed to dodge out of the way when she was suddenly kicked to the ground by a swinging Cyborg, who was hanging from an overhead cable.
"Ok, the next time you pull a Tarzan swing, let me know please? It's been awhile since I've done that," Sora said.
"What are you talking about?!" Cyborg asked.
"Later," Sora said. Bumblebee slowly got up and saw her stingers on the ground and made a run for it but Cyborg beat her to the punch by shooting his right hand like a grappling hook and yanked the weapons away. Sora quickly fired a Fire spell at her but in seconds she kicked a nearby crate from the floor and knocked it towards them. The spell hits the box instead while Bumblebee used the two heroes as launching pads in order to reach her stingers. Sora and Cyborg aim at her together and as soon as she lands, the two fire but once again they miss. They both look up to see Bumblebee flying in the air with her wings beating crazily.
"You can fly?" Cyborg said confused.
"That is awesome!" Sora said, only for his friend to glare at him.
"We never had a class together. You don't know what I can do!" Bumblebee said, firing again at the two, making them run for it.
"You never had a class with her?!" Sora yelled.
"I was there for five days, alright? I didn't have time to meet every single student!" Cyborg replied, diving for cover while Sora flew up and swung at Bumblebee but she elegantly flew out of the way and tried to kick Sora again but he blocked it and knocked her away. She recovered just in time as Cyborg fired at her from the ground and dodged some of the blasts.
"For example…why do you think they call me Bumblebee?" Bumblebee asked before suddenly shrinking to the size of a fly.
"Huh? Where did she-" Sora asked before suddenly being sucker punched in the face and sent tumbling to the ground by the smaller Bumblebee. Cyborg tried several times to grab the small student but found it impossible as she stung him all across his body. Sora shook his head before getting up to see Cyborg being chased around by Bumblebee. "Shrink powers huh? I can do that too," Sora said, using his keyblade to shrink himself down to Bumblebee's size. He then flew up and tackled into her, knocking them both away while Cyborg gave chase. The two continued to shoot at each other until Sora came up with an idea.
"Lethal Flame!" Sora yelled, freezing Bumblebee in time. Sora then charged in and struck her several times before breaking the spell, Bumblebee felt every strike until finally falling to the ground, growing back to normal size. Sora grew back too as Cyborg readied his cannon.
"Bumblebee! Quit messing around and finish them!" Brother Blood yelled from the screen. Bumblebee smiled to herself and kicked Cyborg's cannon to aim at the screen instead as Cyborg fired. The blast hit the screen and caused it to go static.
"Okay. We're-" Bumblebee said but Cyborg began to fire again, so she quickly kicked his legs out from under him, making him fall to the ground.
"Hey! What are-" Sora asked about to attack her again but she countered by grabbing his arm and flipping him over on his back, disarming him in the process. She held the keyblade for a little before it disappeared from her hands, surprising her for a little.
"Show's over, Sparky. Same to you, Spikes. Blood can't see us. Drop the act," Bumblebee said, straightening up with an angry glare.
"Act? What act?" Sora asked, confused.
"Aqualad told you there was a double agent inside the H.I.V.E., right? Well, you're looking at her," Bumblebee said with a smirk..
"Say what?!" Cyborg asked.
"Did you think you were the only spy at H.I.V.E. Academy? I've been working Brother Blood for months," Bumblebee said.
"Then how come Blood couldn't brainwash you like the others?" Sora asked.
"There's not a man alive who can tell me what to do," Bumblebee said.
"Sorry, Bee, not buying it," Cyborg said, charging towards her.
"Cyborg, wait!" Sora yelled but it was too late as Bumblebee pins him to the ground and points her stingers at him.
"Think about it, Sparky. If I wasn't on your side, you'd be spare parts by now and Spike's hair would be higher than it normally is," Bumblebee said, holstering her stingers and offering a hand to Cyborg. "Now if you're done wasting time, why don't we save your city?" She said. Cyborg looks at her hand for a little before pushing it aside and getting up on his own.
"Don't call me Sparky," Cyborg demands before walking away.
"Uh, as first impressions go, that was a good fight," Sora said, offering a handshake to her. Bumblebee smiled to herself and accepted the handshake.
"Nice to meet you, Spike. I must say, you got a lot of cool powers," Bumblebee said.
"So do you. I mean, you can fly and shrink to be like an actual bee while still having super strength! I mean, it's awesome," Sora said fanboying a little.
"Sora! Let's go," Cyborg yelled.
"We'll be right there," Sora said running after him with Bumblebee shortly following him.
(Meanwhile, in the Ops Room)
"Bumblebee…oh, Bumblebee…" Brother Blood said to himself, trying to get in contact with his student again with his monitor. After getting nothing but static out of it, he growled to himself in anger and smashed the monitor into pieces with his fist. "Well, Cyborg, it seems you've destroyed my little friend. So, I'll just have to destroy all of yours with my new ones," Brother Blood said as darkness grew from his body. He turned to the large monitor on the wall as it showed the other Titans.
(In the Water Tunnels)
Aqualad and Beast Boy, now a hammerhead shark, were swimming through a metal corridor towards the force field generator when a side hatch opens after they passed it and they turn to see a giant school of Heartless piranhas right behind them. They quickly take off as the mass chase after them.
(In the Main Chambers)
Ravager cuts the last guard's gun in half before kicking him to the ground, knocking him out. She walks up to the others as Robin holds his communicator in one hand and his fighting staff in the other while Starfire and Raven finished the last of the guards.
"I've got a fix on Blood's location, but we need to move fast," Robin said. Starfire flew next to him, brandishing her keyblade with Raven beside her.
"Yes. I am hopeful we will not encounter more H.I.V.E. soldiers," Starfire said. The four walked up to the next door and opened it only to be surprised by another battalion of soldiers and bee-like Heartless flying in the air.
"You had to say something," Raven joked.
"And it had to be Heartless too," Ravager said. The four shared a glance before charging at the enemy forces.
(Deep within the Fortress)
"Why don't you just admit you lost?" Cyborg's voice echoed across the fortress corridors.
"Because it wasn't real. If it was you would both be running for the hills," Bumblebee said, walking ahead of Sora and Cyborg as they headed for the sonic resonator.
"But we thought it was real and you lost to us! So hah!" Cyborg gloated.
"Guys please! We can discuss who won and lost later. I'm pretty sure the last thing we need is attracting any attention to ourselves," Sora said. The two nodded and continued down the hallway when the door in front of them opens, revealing a three-way junction point. Sora looks confused while Cyborg taps on his forearm panel and Bumblebee retraces their steps. "Ugh, this is why I hate corridors," Sora said.
"Follow me!" Cyborg and Bumblebee said at the same time, bumping into each other in the process.
"The resonator core is to the right. I'm the one with the high-tech sensors, remember?" Cyborg remarked.
"And I helped build this place," Bumblebee shot back.
"You must be so proud," Cyborg said with a smirk.
"Hey! I was tracking Blood before you even knew who he was! So I call the shots, got it?" Bumblebee yelled, flying up to Cyborg's face.
"No! Cause it's my tech, my mission, and without me, you'd have no clue how to shut this thing down!" Cyborg yelled before walking away but Sora stood in front of him.
"Enough! Guys look, I understand that this mission is personal to you two but we don't have much time until that resonator thing goes off and the city is wiped out. So enough about who's in charge and let's find this thing," Sora said.
"Spike's right. We need to find that resonator. Let's get moving. And besides Sparky, I would've just boosted the wavelength in the transmission matrix, triggering a meltdown in the amplification system," Bumblebee added, making Cyborg stop in his tracks.
"I never told anyone about that glitch. How'd you-?" Cyborg asked. Bumblebee walks up to him holding a blue CD-ROM.
"I lifted your blueprints from the H.I.V.E. mainframe, so Blood can't ever use 'em again," Bumblebee said. Cyborg makes a grab for it but Bumblebee steps back from him. "Uh-uh. If you and Spike go down, I might need this to complete the mission," She reasoned.
"Please. They're not just plans. They're me, everything I am. My body, my brain, my feelings-" Cyborg begged.
"Relax. I only read the sonic cannon stuff… and a few memory files about the big crush you had on Jinx," Bumblebee said, walking ahead of the two.
"Wait, what?! Hahahaha!" Sora bursted out laughing, making Cyborg blush nervously. Suddenly, Cyborg's arm panel lit up.
"Cyborg!" Robin's voice said from the panel, making Sora stop laughing. The sound of blaster fire, swords slashing and magic echoed from the panel. "We're approaching Blood's control room but we're being held up by some Heartless! Have you reached the resonator core?" He asked.
"Uh, almost," Cyborg answered.
"Well, get moving! We don't have much time!" Robin said, cutting out. Cyborg began to march off down the hall with Sora and Bumblebee walking with him.
"So if this is your mission, how come he's in charge?" Bumblebee asked sarcastically. Cyborg turned to her, glaring at her before punching a nearby control switch, bringing a bulkhead door between the three. Sora stares at Cyborg in confusion while Bumblebee begins pounding on the other side of the door.
"Cyborg!" Sora said, trying to get the door to open as said Titan began walking away from the door.
"Hey! Get back here! Open this door!" Bumblebee yelled from the other side.
"C'mon Sora! She'll catch up!" Cyborg yelled. Sora looked conflicted for a little.
"Sorry Bee. Hopefully, we'll see you soon," Sora said, walking away from the door..
"Spike! Tell him to get his mechanical butt back here and open this thing right now!" Bumblebee yelled.
(Meanwhile, In the Water Tunnel)
Aqualad jumps out of the hole of the water and unto the floor leading to the force field generator. Beast Boy then follows him while letting out a shout of pain as a Heartless piranha had its teeth clamped hard on the changeling's behind.
"Hold still!" Aqualad said. Beast Boy stops moving and holds still while Aqualad pulled the Heartless off of Beast Boy's butt and threw it back into the pool.
"Oh, my booty! I promise I'll never sit on you again," Beast Boy promises to his rear.
"Come on," Aqualad said, bringing Beast Boy's attention to the crackling generator before them. "We have to disable the force field so Cyborg can-" Aqualad said when suddenly a steel door slams shut in front of them, blocking the generator. Suddenly, another door slams shut behind them, trapping them in.
"Not good," Beast Boy said as more doors close in front of them.
(Meanwhile, In the Control Room)
"Party's over, huh?" Robin yelled as he, Starfire, Ravager, and Raven ran into the control room only to find the entire room empty; no guards, no Heartless, and most importantly, no Brother Blood. Ravager walks up to the empty throne with her swords in hand.
"Where is everyone?" Ravager asked. Suddenly, Robin's communicator beeps and he opens it to see Aqualad struggling against something.
"Robin! It's Aqualad! We need your help! We've walked into a trap!" Aqualad yelled out. Suddenly, the door they entered seals itself shut and Starfire looks at the glass and sees something.
"So have we!" Starfire yelled, pointing at the glass. The others follow her gaze and see a small beeping device attached to it before suddenly exploding, knocking everyone back into the door. Before they could even recover, they're swept up by the water that started to stream through the broken glass.
(In the Resonator Core)
Sora and Cyborg cut into the Core Room to see a giant duplicate version of Cyborg's sonic cannon pointed up into the air. It stood many stories tall and mounted in the center of the large circular space.
"Wow, now I can only imagine a giant version of you pointing this in the air," Sora said. The two looked down to see a timer counting down from 35 seconds.
"It's charging to fire. We gotta work fast," Cyborg said. The two ran towards the core when suddenly, they're both knocked to the ground by the invisible force field. They both get up and raise their hands toward the core but the only thing they touch is the force field again. Angered, Cyborg punched the force field and activated his communicator.
"Yo, Robin! Beast Boy and Aqualad blew it! The force field's still up! Robin!" Cyborg yelled, but no response came from it.
"W-we don't know that. They might be held up by something," Sora said, a little worried.
"I hate to be the one to tell you this but…" a voice said from the entrance. The two turn to see Brother Blood, Maleficent, and Pete walking up to them. Sora quickly drew his keyblade and got into his stance. "…your friends have failed. Your mission has failed. And your sonic technology is about to become my greatest success," Brother Blood said. The timer was now at 6 seconds but Cyborg quickly readies his cannon.
"Our mission hasn't failed. Not as long as we're here," Sora said.
"Hmph, look at the time, kid. You're too late," Pete mocked.
"Surf's up," Blood said, while forming his hand into a shaka. Suddenly, the core lite up behind them and the next thing they heard was an ear-piercing sound wave that drove Sora and Cyborg to the ground. A giant beam shot straight up into the sky as Sora and Cyborg screamed in pain while Blood, Maleficent, and Pete were completely unaffected by the sound.
(In the Control Room)
Robin, Starfire, Ravager, and Raven swam up to the ceiling as the rest of the room continued to fill up with sea water
"Everyone alright?" Robin asked.
"Super, until we run out of room," Raven said.
"Starfire. Can you unlock the door like Sora?" Ravager asked.
"It's possible. But we haven't gone over it yet," Starfire said.
"No better time than now. First we gotta seal that hole," Ravager said.
"Let us go then," Starfire said, with everyone diving back under water.
(In the Resonator Core)
The sound continued to echo across the chamber until Sora and Cyborg get up and fire at the three villains. Blood easily sidesteps Cyborg's cannon blast while Maleficent creates a shield in front of her and Pete to protect them from Sora's light beam. Blood suddenly pulls off his white robe, revealing a red, black, and grey outfit in the style of Japanese samurai. Maleficent creates a little shield around her, Pete, and Sora while Blood attacks Cyborg.
"Cyborg, be careful!" Sora yelled.
"Oo-oh, you've got a lot more to worry about than your robot friend," Pete said.
"What are you even doing here, Maleficent?" Sora asked.
"My purpose here is none of your concern, boy," Maleficent responded.
"It is if your helping out people like Blood. So what? Is it get control of all the Heartless? Is it Kingdom Hearts?" Sora asked in a sarcastic tone.
"Joke all you wish, Sora. But when I find what I seek, you and all of your pitiful friends will be bowing to me! For now, we shall leave you with this little gift," Maleficent said, creating a ball of darkness in her hands before shooting it in front of Sora. Pete laughed to himself as the two disappeared in a corridor of darkness while the ball manifested into a giant Heartless. It was in the form of a Queen Bee in a bee hive but it had four wings instead of two and red and black while smaller bee like Heartless flew around it.
"Giant Bee. Makes sense," Sora said. He charged forward and began to attack it but it managed to blow him back with its wings before firing blue blasts of energy from its mouth. Sora dodged out of the way and fired blasts of light at it, striking it in the chest. Suddenly, a small swarm of Bee Heartless flew towards Sora, trying to overrun him and it succeeded as it drove him into a nearby wall. He groaned in pain before flying up to the Queen and struck it in the chest before upper cutting it in the head. It quickly responded by smacking him away but he recovered in the air and started shooting more spells at it, while Cyborg continued to fight with Brother Blood.
(In the Control Room)
The Titans in the Control Room finally ran out of room to breathe while they placed a cover over the hole and sealed it shut thanks to Starfire. After that was done, she swam over to the door, summoned her keyblade and aimed at the sealed entrance. A light shone from the tip and fired towards the door. A light shown over the door before it finally opened. The water suddenly flooded out along with the four before they finally got out of the water.
"We are saved! And I opened the door!" Starfire celebrated, diving backwards into the water again in happiness. Robin quickly got up and ran to a nearby console while Raven helped Ravager out of the water. He began typing away on it while shaking his hair back to its spiky self.
"Let's hope we can still save the others," Robin said, accessing the controls to the Force Field Defense System and disabling it.
(In the Generator Room)
Beast Boy and Aqualad were near close to being crushed by the security system until it suddenly retracted back to into the walls, freeing the two. Beast Boy gets up from the ground along with Aqualad to see the pathway to the generator clear.
"Do I look thinner to you?" Beast Boy asked, while his belt fell to the ground, showing that he was indeed thinner from the crusher. Aqualad's eyes widened in shock before turning his attention back to the generator.
"Quick! We have to short out the force field!" Aqualad yelled, running towards it. Beast Boy follows along, inflating himself back to normal size and readjusting his belt.
"Stand back!" Beast Boy yelled, catching up to Aqualad and turning into an electric eel. He glides into the center of the generator and begins to overload it, causing an explosion while Aqualad took cover.
(In the Resonator Core)
Sora landed on one of the catwalks to see the Queen flying above him while Blood rammed Cyborg's head against the force field. Suddenly the force field collapses and powers down, leaving the Resonator defenseless.
"Yes!" Sora cheered before having to dodge another blast of energy from the Queen. He striked it again forcing it back before firing a powerful beam of light at it's chest. It finally broke through and the Queen let out another roar before dissipating into nothing. "Okay, that takes care of that," Sora said, turning his attention to Cyborg and Brother Blood.
"Now how can your mission still have a shot…when you don't stand a chance?! Brother Blood yelled while his eyes and hands glowed red with energy. He let out a yell before shooting a beam of energy towards Cyborg. Acting quick, Sora dove right in front of Cyborg and blocked the beam.
"Cyborg, stop the resonator! I'll hold him off," Sora yelled, struggling with the beam.
"But Sora-" Cyborg argued.
"Go! I got this!" Sora said, now on his knees as Blood drew closer. Cyborg reluctantly ran over to the core while Sora got back on his feet, surprising Blood.
"Cyborg couldn't stop me, what kind of shot do you have?" Brother Blood asked.
"Simple," Sora said, creating a Reflect shield and knocking Blood away. "You didn't study me," Sora said, getting into his fighting stance. Suddenly, a small Bumblebee flew in and punched Blood right in the chin, sending him flying into a nearby column. She grows to normal size and stands next to Sora.
"Mind of I join, Spike?" Bumblebee asked.
"Of course, Bee," Sora said.
"Another spy? Tell me, was anyone at my school ACTUALLY THERE TO LEARN?!" Brother Blood, yelled in anger as darkness began to seep from his body.
"I learned plenty," Bumblebee said, getting into a fighting pose. The three take off into the air as Sora strikes at the H.I.V.E. leader but he manages to push him away while blocking a kick from Bumblebee. The two manage to kick him away while Sora blasted Blood in the chest with a Blizzard spell, freezing him solid. Bumblebee then followed it up with a downward kick which sent Blood crashing unto the walkway below, shattering the ice and freeing him. Sora landed but Blood surprised him when he unleashed a combo on him which he was unable to block for long until Blood managed to punch him in the chest, knocking him down. Bumblebee suddenly surprised him with a zap to the back and Sora took the chance to shoot him in his chest with a blast of light, sending him rolling across the ground. Sora and Blood recovered while Bumblebee got ready and were about to attack again when suddenly another pulse from the resonator went off, making them cover their ears.
"No!" Brother Blood yelled as the resonator began to malfunction, leaving him wide open to a combined kick from Sora and Bumblebee sending him sailing off the walkway. The two regroup with Cyborg and they watch the resonator explode when they turn to see Blood standing in front of the entrance.
"That's two headquarters you owe me," Brother Blood said in an angered tone before running out of the Core Room.
"Get him!" Sora, Cyborg, and Bumblebee shout together and give pursuit, their feet splashing against the now increasing water. They run into the junction only to find Blood has disappeared once again.
"Where did-" Sora asked when they heard another set of footsteps coming towards them and they turn to see the other Titans and Aqualad running to them.
"We have to get out of here!" Robin yelled.
"But how?" Starfire asked.
"The T-Ship's toast!" Cyborg reminded everyone. Suddenly, Beast Boy stepped up and pointed at his tongue again. Everyone cringes but runs out to an exit but Raven stood still.
"I'd rather just stay here and drown," Raven said, crossing her arms in defiance. Raven continues to stand there while Sora turns and sees her not moving. He runs back to her and grabs her arm.
"C'mon!" Sora said, dragging her with him and out of the fortress.
(Later, back at the Tower)
Everyone stood in the Ops Room, looking at the monitor that was currently tracking Brother Blood's last known location. Stitch sat on the couch watching everything while Sora, Raven, and Rose stood next to him.
"Our last tracking info shows our target heading east," Robin said.
"Since it took awhile for him to get back on his feet, we shouldn't give him the chance to recover again," Rose said.
"We also have to worry about Maleficent and Pete," Sora said.
"Wait, you mean the villains from Sleeping Beauty and Steamboat Willie? You know they're cartoon villains right?" Beast Boy said.
"I thought that too, but I saw them myself, man. They're real," Cyborg said.
"We have seen stranger things before," Starfire added.
"Why should we worry about them, Sora?" Raven asked.
"Because they must've been the ones that gave Brother Blood the Heartless. The one I fought while Cyborg fought Blood came directly from them. We should keep an eye out for them," Sora said.
"Agreed. That's why we'll fan out and-" Robin said when suddenly the monitor began flashing. Everyone crowded together to get a closer look.
"Woah, found him already?!" Sora asked but Robin shakes his head no and presses a few keys until the monitor changes from the map to a shot of Doctor Light breaking into a bank vault.
"Doctor Light found a bank vault," Robin said. Aqualad walked up to them in response.
"Looks like your city needs you. I'll go after Blood. If I run into any trouble, I know who to call," Aqualad said, holding up his communicator.
"Actually, if he runs into trouble, I'll be there to bail him out," Bumblebee said, stepping up. Everyone nodded and began to run out leaving Cyborg, Bumblebee, and Sora who stood at the doorway.
"You want to come with? After all, it's your mission too," Bumblebee offered. Cyborg looked down in thought before coming to a decision.
"My mission's here," Cyborg said, making Sora and Bumblebee smile. She began to walk out before stopping and turning to Cyborg.
"By the way…I think this belongs to you…Sparky," Bumblebee said, holding up the CD-ROM and tossing it to Cyborg, who caught it in his hand. She turns back to the exit where Sora stood. "See ya around, Spike," Bumblebee said, ruffling Sora's hair around, walking out.
"See ya, Bee," Sora said, fixing his hair before turning to Cyborg. "Cy, you ready to go?" He asked.
"Yeah, I just might be," Cyborg said, running to the exit with Sora.
"Don't worry, we'll catch Blood one day," Sora said.
"I know we will," Cyborg said with a smile as they ran out of the room.
(Meanwhile, on the outskirts of Jump City)
"Grgh, I was sure that that Blood was gonna win. But of course keyboy and his new friends had to get in the way! If only I could get my hands on that little-" Pete ranted while Maleficent looked over Jump City from the cliff they were on.
"Stop you're prattling!" She demanded, making Pete quiet down. "I too am disappointed that Brother Blood failed. His device would've allowed us free access to search for the box. But he obviously has become too obsessed with that "Cy-borg" and does not share our intentions anymore," Maleficent said.
"Hmph, so what now, Maleficent? Off to another world then to look for this box?" Pete asked.
"No," She answered, surprising him. "There's something very intriguing about this world. We must keep searching here but as observers. Any clue that might lead to the box must be uncovered and that includes here. We must search every part of this world if we are to find anything," Maleficent said, making Pete let out a tired sigh. "Come along, Pete, we have much work ahead of us," She said, creating a corridor of darkness.
"Whatever you say, Maleficent," Pete said, walking into the corridor with her.
And that's the end. I hope you guys enjoyed this version of Wavelength and Sora's involvement. I also thought this would be a good chapter to introduce Maleficent and Pete into this story as well as they search for the box in Jump City. Now onto the reviews:
Darkmaster100000: Yes, I do intend to put KH3 into this story but not as a separate story. Think of it as the Season 6 that we never got and its going to tell the KH3 story with the Titans in it and Sora's story through it. It will greatly change the events with the Titans taking part in the Keyblade War.
Keybladelight: That will definitely be a cool comparison. But I would like to think that Trigon has more darkness than Xehanort.
Ieuan Evans 2814: Thanks man, glad you liked it. Hope you enjoy this chapter.
Guest1: That's kind of what I was planning for Season 6. I mean, he's still trying to get the Power of Waking(which kind of sucks still) but instead goes to the worlds in order to protect them from Xehanort and the Heartless.
Althea Sirius: Not Rose but I won't tell whose next. Stay safe as well, friend.
Khy Dragon: Now available in your nearest Walmart and Target.
Guest2: They'll definitely freak when they see it.
Guest3: I was actually thinking of another time where she gets hurt.
Guest4: Just finished and I do intend for Sora and Raven to get together.
Thank you guys so much for reading. Your comments and ideas are what really keep me going for this story and I hope you guys are staying safe during this dark time in history from the virus and the recent riots that are going on. I pray that you guys stay safe and continue to enjoy every day in your lives. Please favor, please follow, and please leave a review if you have an idea or voice your thoughts. I'll see you guys in the next chapter. Peace out.
