Teen Titans: The Alien Force

Chapter 34: Wavelength

[Season 3, Episode 34, "Wavelength" A.T.]

The chapter starts at the exterior of Titans Tower, under a starry night sky.

...

...

...

(!!!)

Something dark cruises toward the island, just barely breaking the water's surface, and climbs ashore as an inky silhouette with strands of seaweed hanging from their arms.

...

(Ping!)

It makes its way along the stony path; a tripwire laser beam stretching across at ankle level. One foot sweeps through as the black shape moves ahead.

...

(...)

We now arrive at the repair/diagnostic corner of Cyborg's room, where the Titan in question was laid out fast asleep on his inclined table.

(!!!)

Just then, an alarm and red flasher go off in response to the security breach. He snaps wide awake in an instant; in her room, Starfire sits up in bed with a sharp gasp and takes off from the blankets. Raven is already awake and on her feet, but not wearing her cloak; she summons it to herself and puts it on before walking through the door of her room. In the hall, Devan suits up and dashes into around a corner.

The only one not yet on the move is Beast Boy, who hunches down in his bunk to get away from the racket.

Beast Boy: (Sleepily) Ugh... Just gimme five more minutes...(!!!)

He is yanked away with a startled yell by the gloved hand of Terra.

...

In the entrance hall, the Titans gather as a series of loud poundings shakes the entire room; the banging is coming from their other side, and finally, they are slowly forced apart to reveal the swimming silhouette, which strides into the light to reveal itself as the alarm and flashers are switched off. It is...

Omni-Boy: Aqualad!?

Aqualad: Yes. (Dryly) Your trash is in my ocean...

...

We are now shown a schematic on the window/screen of the Tower's operations center. It shows a tall, slender structure with hemispherical domes at top and bottom; each of these is oriented with its curved surface facing upward, and support arms extend from its ground level. Aqualad steps in front of the display; as he speaks, pull back to show the Titans gathered at the couch.

Aqualad: An undersea fortress, fifty miles off the coast, and built by the former headmaster of the H.I.V.E. Academy, Brother Blood...

(Click!)

On the end of this, he pulls out the television remote control and replaces the diagram with a full-screen close-up of the gray-haired leader Cyborg tangled with in "Deception."

Aqualad: I'm pretty sure you guys have already met.

Cyborg: Yeah, we go way back. I went undercover as one of his brainwashed students, but after I destroyed his school, we kinda...lost touch.

Aqualad: Because Blood moved out of your neighborhood, and right into mine. I tried to take him down on my own, but Blood's mental powers were more than enough to jam my telepathy. And with no fish to help me...

Beast Boy: ...You got schooled?

Aqualad: Pretty much. But, I was able to contact a double agent from within the H.I.V.E., (He holds up the remote.) and find out what the fortress is hiding!
