Beast Boy hit the ground..hard. He looked above him to see Cinderblock raising his large, heavy arms for the final blow. Beast Boy closed his dark green eyes and braced himself for the impact but it never came. Confused, he opened them and witnessed Cinderblock being blasted with several green starbolts.
"You shall not harm my friends!" Starfire yelled as she summoned more of her starbolts and began shooting them at the ferocious concrete villain.
"Thanks, Star!" Beast Boy shouted just before turning into a T-Rex. He gritted his teeth as he felt every bone in his body bend and crack, grow and stretch. He was used to the pain, some animals he morphed into he could hardly feel anymore. Not the T-Rex however, the T-Rex was too big of a pain to not notice. Beast Boy began stampeding towards Cinderblock and used his large powerful head to knock him off of his feet.
Raven used this opportunity to tie him up using the telephone wires hanging overhead. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" She summoned her powers and a wave of black magic brought the wires to life. They quickly wrapped around the large villain but Cinderblock was still too strong and broke them with ease.
Robin ran quickly to Raven's side. "There's gotta be a quicker way to do this." He clenched his fists.
"Leave that to me!"
Robin leapt out of the way of a running Cyborg who was preparing to blast this enemy to kingdom come. His robotic hand soon became the sonic cannon that villains were all too familiar with. Before Cinderblock could move, a large blue-white blast knocked him at least 100 feet, leaving massive destruction to the street in the process. "Boo-ya!" Cyborg recited his most famous line.
Beast Boy ran over to high-five his best friend. "Nice one, Cy!" He smiled his usual goofy grin. "Good guys win again! So who gets the pleasure of taking hunk of sidewalk to jail?"
All five Titans shouted at once, "Not it!" Everyone began laughing.
"I suppose..I'll do it." Robin managed to speak in between laughs. "But I expect everyone to be ready for a training exercise when I get back."
The other four Titans groaned in unison.
~Back at the Tower~
Raven, Starfire and Cyborg sat quietly on the couch, awaiting Robin's return while Beast Boy paced the floor. "What is it with that guy and training exercises?" He asked out loud. "That's the only thing we ever do around here!"
"I recall you spending the entire weekend watching Battle of the Planets." Raven muttered in her usual monotone voice.
Beast Boy just shrugged. "I'm just sayin, I think that guy might be a little obsessed with training." He came over and sat on the couch next to Cyborg.
"Training improves your potential." A voice behind the Titans spoke. Robin soon came into view. "How else are we supposed to get better?" Robin came and stood in front of the couch. "Now we will train in teams today. Cyborg, you will help Starfire. Raven, Beast Boy."
Raven looked unhappy about being paired with the green changeling. "What about you?" She asked Robin.
"I'll train alone for now." Robin began to head down to the gym. "Come get me if you need anything."
Cyborg was the first to stand. "C'mon Star, let's get this over with." The two headed outside.
Raven sighed as she stood from the couch.
"I hope you're ready for me to kick your butt." Beast Boy teased.
Raven simply rolled her violet eyes and the two, not so great friends, headed after Cyborg and Starfire.
~2 hours later~
"So what was that about you kicking my butt?" Raven asked Beast Boy as they re-entered the Tower. She chuckled slightly at Beast Boy's limping. She had given it pretty hard to him out there.
"I went easy on you." Beast Boy never failed to smile. He headed off down the hallway.
Robin wanted every detail of their training today and Cyborg gave it to him. During this time, Starfire had wandered to the kitchen in search of the container of mustard. Raven shuddered as she watched this. She never understood how Starfire could drink that disgusting yellow substance. When Cyborg was finished Robin seemed impressed with everyone's work.
"Nice job guys." Robin's eyes wandered to his communicator which was flashing and beeping. "Titans! Trouble!" He looked around. "Raven get Beast Boy and meet us outside. Hurry!" He shouted as he and the others ran out of the room.
Raven sighed. "You've got to be kidding me." She mumbled. Raven flew down the hallway and pounded on Beast Boy's door. "Beast Boy come on! We have to go." There was no answer. Raven knocked again. "Hello?" Still there was no answer. Raven shut her eyes, "You better be decent in there!" she warned as she opened up the door to his room and stepped inside. What she saw next took her breath away.
