//------------------------------// // Act 5: Back in the Brave // Story: (MLP-TEEN TITANS) We're Moving On. // by DakariKingMykan //------------------------------// ACT FIVE Cars, trucks and busses were halted on the bridge, unable to proceed, and all the people inside the vehicles were scared out of their minds. Reason being: Two men were piloting large robotic like suits, which stood to be the size of small houses, and armed with strong armor, huge cannon-guns, and big swords. Just one of these alone was enough to cause serious damage to the bridge, and seriously more harm to the people the men were holding as hostages. If the people made any attempt to escape, they would blow them to bits! “Titans, Go!” shouted Robin, and he and the other three dashed into action. Robin threw his disc-bombs at once of the robots, but the bombs hardly did any damage at all. Starfire tried firing her starbolts, and Cyborg fired his sonic cannon. No results! “Those suits must be coated with a special armor!” cried Cyborg. One of the pilots laughed, “That’s right, Titans. We heard about your super powers.” “That’s right,” cackled the other pilot “So we supped up our battle-bots here so they can stand up to anything you try and throw at us, but you won’t be able to do the same to us.” The two bad men charged their bots’ energy cannons to fire. “Don’t let those guys hit the civilians!” shouted Robin. Raven moved herself into position, and concentrated all the power she could. Just as the powerful plasma shots were fired, she had raised a dark wall of black power before the vehicles, which took the blasts and left the vehicles and the people unharmed. “I can’t hold it up forever!” cried Raven. “You won’t have to.” Laughed one of the pilots, and he leapt his bot over to the huge support cables of the bridge and hacked them with his huge sword, slicing them like plain string, and weakening the strength of the bridge. “Oh, no!!” cried Cyborg and he rushed over to try and make any necessary repairs that he could. But the two bots cut him off, and one of them gave him a huge punch hard sending him crashing, and bouncing along the road. Raven couldn’t leave her post or the civilians would be exposed to the danger. “I am coming, Friend Cyborg!” cried Starfire, and she lifted him out of the way just as one of the bots tried to slash at him. Instead he sliced more cables, which weakened the bridge even more. The bigger supports of the bridge were starting to vibrate as they began to break apart, and the road would start to crumple soon. “What’s wrong, Titans? Can’t stand the pressure?” one of the pilots taunted, and the other one just laughed at how the Titans and the civilians all seemed so hopeless. Suddenly, the second bot got rammed hard from behind and knock forward a few paces, “What the…!” snapped the pilot, and he could see through his rear-view mirror, a green T-rex was responsible. “Beast Boy…!” Robin called. “Yo’, Beastie!” Cyborg called. “Ha!” the first pilot thundered “Now that you’re all here, you can all go down together!” “Look out!” Starfire called to Beast Boy, and Beast boy quickly dashed out of the way just as the two bots fired plasma blasts, blowing huge holes in the bridge road. “Dude!” cried Beast Boy “are you nuts! You’ll blow this entire bridge apart!” “Duh…! That’s the point!” the second pilot sneered “And once we’re done here, the city is next. Unless you’re willing to meet our demands…” “As if…!” shouted Beast Boy “Me and my peeps will make you sorry you ever thought of trying to mess with things!” The other Titans nodded in agreement. “…WRONG ANSWER!!” The pilots both shouted and they rushed over to attack again. “Listen! I’ve got an idea.” said Robin, and he whispered to the other titans, except Raven, and they all agreed with his plan. “Titans, go!” The titans split up and scattered around, Cyborg and Starfire continued to blast at the bots. “Don’t you ever get tired of that same old trick?” the first pilot mocked, and he fired a plasma-shot at the duo, forcing them to dodge, which cause the bridge to suffer more damage. Some of the debris hit Raven’s shield over the civilians. “Whatever you’re going to do… MOVE IT!!” Raven called “I CAN’T HOLD OUT MUCH LONGER!!” Beast Boy, as a triceratops stampeded forth with Robin standing on him holding his metal staff. “Are they nuts?” the first pilot said to his comrade. “Never mind…! Just get ‘em!” The two bots stood at opposite ends and came straight for the boys, and took a swing with their swords, “Now!!” shouted Robin, and he leapt high off of Beast Boy, and Beast Boy changed into a tiny mouse… …Causing the two bots to miss and accidently STRIKE each other hard, making thin gashed in the huge machines. They were built to withstand the Titan’s powers, but apparently not from each other’s. “Watch it!” snarled the first pilot. “Me…?! It was you!” The two were so busy squabbling at one another… “Beast Boy, go!” Robin called to him. Beast Boy nodded and approached one of the bots. Changing into a fly, he flew his way up and into the gash, entering the bots circuitry. Once inside deeply enough, he changed into a mighty whale, stretching the structures apart from within. “Hey!!” the pilot cried as his systems began to malfunction and spark “What’s going on!” and his bot suddenly flew apart in so many angles, causing the punk to fall from his seat and hit the ground hard. “No way!” the other pilot called, and that’s when Beast Boy eyed at the bot and charged at it like a bull, literally. “Take this!” the pilot shouted, trying to blast Beast Boy with his plasma gun, but Beast Boy dodged the blast, changing into a peregrine falcon, and zoomed over towards the other huge gash in the bot’s chest, and repeating his same strategy-- fly, enter, whale, expand…! KAPOW!! The second bot was destroyed and the pilot was launched clean over the side of the bridge and fell into the water below. Starfire retrieved him, and the two pilots were bounded and gagged and ready for the police to come and take them away. The civilians were now all free and able to drive safely off the bridge and to safety. The civilians couldn’t help but gets out of their vehicles to cheer for the heroes, and ask for autographs and selfies… especially around Beast Boy, being the one who destroyed the bots. “You’re the coolest.” “Awesome, man…!” “Can I have your email?” So much respect, and so much praise, Beast Boy… well… he liked it. He liked it so much, he couldn’t really feel upset anymore, and he even smiled for the first time in a while. The Titans all saw this as the most wonderful sign. “Hey, look at the bridge.” said a teenage civilian boy. “It’s all fixed.” “Like, how did that happen?” asked a girl “That thing was totally ready to fall apart a few minutes ago.” The Titans were confused as well, until… they could see just a tiny bit of Twilight’s face appear, and she winked at them-- implying she had used her magic to quickly fix the bridge back to normal, but was still keeping out of sight to avoid unnecessary attention. Finally, when all was said and done, and the civilians all went back to town, the Titans went home to the tower, and met up with Twilight, now no longer invisible. “Guess you’re not such a loser after all, eh, Beast Boy?” said Robin. Beast Boy’s smile only widened, “I guess not.” Cyborg grabbed him and gave him a guy noogie, “Booyah! My little buddy’s back!” Starfire came in and hugged him tightly, “Oh, I am so happy you are no longer weeping, Beast Boy. “Yeah… sure…!!” he groaned feeling a little squeezed. Raven just smiled softly at him, and it wasn’t often that she did smile. Easily, Twilight was the happiest, and that’s when Beast boy approached her, and hugged her softly, “Thank you, Twilight Sparkle. I feel like I owe you.” Twilight shook her head, “You don’t owe me a thing. Friends help friends all the time, and remember… the satisfaction I have for helping is more than enough for me.” Beast Boy smiled at her and nodded softly. There was however one last thing he felt he had to do and he wished for Twilight to take him and the others there. Soon, they were all at the Murakami School, outside the gates, but Twilight was keeping them all invisible with her magic. The bell rang, and the students began to emerge from the building as school was out. The gang waited, and waited, and suddenly… there she was. “Terra…” Robin murmured. The others all gawked with strange expressions and feelings as they saw her walking with her two friends and chatting happily without much of a care in the world. Even as if they had no idea of all the danger that just happened at the bridge. Terra… she looked so incredibly happy; happier than anyone had ever seen her. Though it was still undeniable that how she treated Beast Boy was cruel, none of them wanted to call her out on it, or even go near her. She was happy now, and that was all she ever wanted. Now they all felt they had the power to really leave her in peace and look forward to their own futures. “Goodbye… Terra…” Beast Boy whispered softly. A soft tear rolled down his eye. The others all comforted him. “You okay?” Cyborg asked. Beast Boy nodded “Things Change, but not all changes have to be bad.” With that settled, the gang all decided to head back to the tower. They all flew up into the sky, keeping close by Twilight to stay invisible. Beast Boy was an eagle, and as he flapped his wings, one of his green feathers floated away from him, and out of the magical aura, making it visible! Terra looked up and saw it, and noted its green color. “Hey, what’s wrong?” one of her friends asked. “Yeah, did you see something?” asked the other. Terra smiled softly, “Nah… it’s nothing.” And she and her friends walked off down the street.
