Teen Titans Fan Fiction ❯ Musical: What Changes Really Are ❯ The Titans Return ( Chapter 20 )

CHAPTER TWENTY

 

A few more days of training and prepping, the Titans felt as if they were ready, but that didn't change the fact that they still had an army of nearly five-million zombies, and animals to deal with back home… and they still had no clue of how to defeat them… other than destroying Trigon.

 

“You are strong Teen Titans…” Arella said, “And while I still have doubts in your success, I do have faith, and will have faith with you.”

 

Starfire couldn't help but ask, “Are you not coming with us?”

 

Arella shook her head, “I can't… for I am only a spiritual-image. I must remain here, but I will continue to pray to all the spirits of the victims of Azarath, and we will be there to guide you all in battle.”

 

Robin nodded his head, “We understand, Arella… and thank you for everything.” He said as he held out his hand to her. Arella hesitated a little, and then shook Robin's hand.

 

One by one, the Titans bid her farewell and their thanks for all she had done. Raven hugged her mother goodbye, and Arella told Copy-Cat, “Please… look out for my child.”

 

Copy-Cat nodded his head, “You have my word…”

 

All the Titans gathered near Raven, who chanted her spells again, and POOF… they were all gone; vanished into a portal in the sky.

 

“Good luck, Teen Titans…”

 

…

 

The titans flew through the vortex, each with a combination of fear and determination in their eyes. They were heading directly into the jaws of the enemy, and would probably never make it out alive…

 

 

Here We Go!

 

Oh-oh, Oh-oh, Oh-oh-oh,
Oh-oh, Oh-oh, Oh-oh, Here We Go!
Oh-oh, Oh-oh, Oh-oh-oh-oh...

Hey, what's up, Superstar?
Looks like you're goin' far,
Hey look it's Wonder-guy,
gonna make ya plenty fine,
Now what's up, Wonder-girl?
You're gonna change the world,

So everything's not perfect,
Don't matter 'cause,
You rework it,
No-thing's holding you,
Never stopping,
Never stopping,
Never stopping now,

…

 

As they continued on their path, each of them began to think to themselves…

 

Robin… brave, and confident; “Trigon… we're coming for you, and we're not going to stop until one side is destroyed!”

 

Starfire… fare, but fierce; “You have harmed my friends for the last time, evil Trigon. I will see to it that you pay dearly!”

 

Cyborg… cool, and strong; “Yo' man… it's bad enough you took over the world again, but takin' over my little green-buddy's body… that's just too much!”

 

Raven… mysterious, and powerful; “Beast-Boy is our friend… and you, father, are not welcome to stay!”

 

Copy-Cat… nimble, and wise; “Never in my existence have I ever met a foe that I loathed and despised most of all. I will crush you, Trigon!”

 

And finally, there was Terra… strange, yet determined; “I can't change what I've done… but I can make things better for the future.”

 

All the trouble she had caused for Beast-Boy, especially when it came to Things Change. She finally realized Beast-Boy was right, “Things will go back to the way they were once… I hope.”

 

Oh-oh, Oh-oh, Oh-oh-oh,
Oh-oh, Oh-oh, Oh-oh, Here We Go!
Oh-oh, Oh-oh, Oh-oh-oh-oh...

 

Hey what's up dynamite?
Takin off on a new flight,
Step it up to number 1,
It won't back off until it's,
Gonna be like a great fly,
You're gonna be the next flier...

So every-thing is crazy,
don't matter 'cause,
No-thing's fazing,
you...get...though...it,
Never stopping,
Never stopping,

 

…

 

Suddenly, there was the gateway up ahead…

 

Copy-Cat reached out for Raven's hand, and copied her form once again. The two Ravens nodded at Each other. “Azarath… Metrione… ZINTHOS!!”

 

Their powers combined broke the seal allowing them and their friends to cross through…

 

Oh-oh, Oh-oh, Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, Oh-oh, Oh-oh, Here We Go!
Oh-oh, Oh-oh, Oh-oh-oh-oh...

Oh-oh, Oh-oh, Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, Oh-oh, Oh-oh, Here We Go!
Oh-oh, Oh-oh, Oh-oh-oh-ohhhhhh....

 

…

 

They landed in an area that was just by the edge of Jump-City… or rather, what was left of it--

“Aw, man… look at this mess!” growled Cyborg.

 

“It would appear that Trigon had been busy during our time of absence. Exactly as we observed in Azarath.” said Copy-Cat.

 

“All right Titans… we have a job to do.” said Robin.

 

The others nodded, and began to fly off; Terra gave Robin a life on her flying boulder, while the others all flew naturally, but no sooner had they all taken off did a flock of dark winged animals rise up and began the chase…

 

Copy-Cat's foresight tingled, sensing they were in danger, “Look…!” he cried as he pointed behind. “Yo'… floor it!” cried Cyborg, and everyone went at full speed through the red, murky skies.

 

The animals never gave up though, for with the powers from Trigon, they were able to keep the Titans close in range. “They're gaining on us…!” yelled Terra.

 

Some of the pterodactyls even had the power to breathe fire-balls from their mouths. “SWERVE…!” shouted Robin, and everyone began to fly in loops, curves, anything to avoid those blasts.

 

Finally, one of the shots barely missed Cyborg, and gave his shoulder-plate a black soot mark. “Okay… that's it!” he growled as he armed his sonic-cannon “Time see what this new baby can do…”

 

POW!! He fired a shot ten-times as powerful as what he could fire before, and he was only using a fraction of his cannon's capacity. A couple of the animals got hit, and were going down like crashing planes… “BO-YAH…! That's what I'm talkin' about.”

 

Still, the other animals were now madder than ever and continued their chase. That's where Starfire joined Cyborg, firing her star-bolts faster than she could before, and knocking down more of the animals than ever.

 

Robin even threw some of his disc-bombs to make a powerful smoke-screen to scare the rest of the animals into retreating. “Never mind them…” said Robin, “Let's keep going, it can't be much farther.”

 

They all continued forward a little ways more, until they had a perfect view of the town, and Titan's tower from the air. Raven looked on ahead with her psychic contact… “There he is!”

 

Beast-Boy was meditating on the tower, looking larger, and stronger than ever, and a few of the Zombies were also patrolling the areas on the ground near him. The Titans positioned themselves ready to fire warning shots…

 

Robin told everyone, “All right Titans… remember, don't hit him too hard. Our enemy may be Trigon, but that's still Beast-Boy after all.”

 

Everyone nodded, even Terra who couldn't help but feel bad for having to do this to the guy she cared about. “Sorry Beast-Boy…” she said as everyone began to power up and fire their weapons and energies straight at the tower, and WHAMM… right into Beast-Boy's chest…

 

He growled and roared in pain “HAARRRGH-AAAHHH…!”

 

Then he peeked through his Trigon-Mask and saw them all standing on the island in the middle of the lava. “Titans…? So you did survive after all...”

 

“You bet we did!” Robin called to him.

 

Cyborg cocked his cannon, “Yo'… we're back and fully charged!”

 

All this only made Beast-Boy laugh, “Ha, ha, ah, ah, ah… insignificant fools!” he mocked at them, “While I am impressed you seem stronger than on our last encounter, don't expect me to feel threatened…”

 

He leapt up high in the air and fired a load of flares from his hands which signaled his whole army of super-Zombies and dark animals to come forth. “My loyal minions, I command you… eliminate these heroic pests!”

 

The zombies and he animals roared loudly. “Man… you think he'd come down and fight us himself!”

 

Copy-Cat could sense something in Beast-Boy's mind, it wasn't completely clear to him as Trigon was doing his best to block him out, but he could see enough to tell him that Trigon was planning something large…

 

However, he already heard Robin shout out, “TITANS… GO…!” and all the others ran off into action, seeing no other choice at the moment, he ran to join them.

 

Five-million zombies and animals, against only six Titans whom had no idea of their weaknesses, but nevertheless… the long awaited confrontation was on!
