Author's Note: All right I'm back with another chapter for the big Memorial Day Weekend rush and everyone goes away for a few days. Hope you like this next installment.
Teen Titans All Stars, Vol. 2
Chapter 5
Indemity Crisis, Part 2
“Judgment League?” Owen asked.
“I don’t suppose you guys came out here on your own.” Robin said drawing his staff.
“You’ll find out soon enough.” Kid Zoom said as he got into defensive stance.
Robin pointed the edge of his staff at the evil speedster as the other two assumed similar stances.
“Time to earn our paycheck guys.” he said to his teammates. The rest of the Titans armed themselves as Kid Zoom crouched down to a charging position.
“Ready!” he yelled.
“Set!” cried Devastation.
“Goooooo!” screamed Kid Zoom as he raced towards them.
“Titans re…” before he could finish it Robin was punched in the face by Kid Zoom knocking him into the wall directly above the other teammates.
“Robin!” Cass yelled before Kid Zoom struck her as well and kicked her in the back knocking her towards Devastation. Who promptly punched Cassie into the next wall on the far side of the room.
Ricochet threw his razorangs at Captain Boomerang. Owen retaliated and deflected several of the flying blades with his own. As the razorangs flew to the far reaches of the room the two Captains rushed toward the center of the dance floor. Owen threw a punch at Richochet’s face. The leaguer grabbed his arm and turned around elbowing him in the back. And threw his foot infront of Owen’s shins knocking the Titan to the ground. The counter Titan did an elbow drop across his back. The Captain yelled in pain as Richo drove his elbow into the back of his head. Boomer dodged it at the last minute and rolled onto his side and knocked the guy’s legs out from under him and kicked him in the chest knocking him back. Owen was back on his feet moments later.
Meanwhile Wonder Girl and Devastation continued to duke it out not far from Owen. Cassie rushed towards Devastation throwing a punch. Devastation deflected it with a brush of her palm, and flicked Cassie in the face throwing the Titan into a wall. Meanwhile Impulse was having similar problems with his counterpart. The two teens managed to deflect each other’s blows fairly well and were evenly matched for the time being until Kid Zoom blasted Impulse with a burst of black lightning to the chest. the speedster cried in pain as the negative energy coursed through him and sent him crashing into a wall as well. Kid Zoom chased after him and pummeled his face and back while he was down showing no mercy to the teen. Superboy grabbed the psycho-speedster’s wrist at the last second. The teen looked back at the Boy of Steel with murder in his eyes and electrocuted Kon with an energy blast. But endured the pain regardless for the sake of protecting his friend. Kid Zoom grabbed him by the shirt and hurled him across the room and chased after him. The evil speedster punted Kon like a soccer ball and bounded him down the room relentlessly. Conner finally flipped over and grabbed the speedster’s foot and twisted his ankle. The speedster groaned in pain as Conner stood up and punched him as hard as he could sending the villainous speedster into the rafters of the building earning the first hit for the team.
The battle switched back to Ricochet and Captain Boomerang, as the two grappled each other in the middle of the dance floor attempting to force the other to submit. Owen cracked the man’s wrists, Ricochets slipped free and punched the Captain as hard as he can knocking him back a few steps. Ricochet then took a boomerang from his gauntlet and stabbed him in the chest. His teammates looked up in horror as he reeled back and lost his balance. Remarkably he remained conscious and fell to his knee, the blade just missing his heart by inches. Kid Devil launched a flame attack behind Mercer at the doppelganger Cap missing his face by inches; the villain hit the floor as the flames sailed past him. Ravager then went after Ricochet drawing her katanas. The villainous captain had little time to react getting to his feet in a split second and using his razorangs to defend himself from her blades. Ravager was out for blood as she swung and thrusted her blades at his chest and head. Ricochet tried desperately to keep up with Ravager’s lightning fast moves and had to jump back several times to avoid further injury. The villain made a colossal leap backward to get some distance from her, but distance alone wouldn’t save him as the Ravager leapt towards him accordingly with her blades pointed at the man’s head. Panicked he threw one of his razorangs at the Ravager’s head. The Titan blocked it with her blade and descended upon him.
“Rose don’t do it!” Eddie yelled to his girlfriend.
At the last second Superboy intercepted Rose and shouldered her to the ground. The Titan tumbled across the floor getting back on her feet as she went across the floor.
“What the hell?” she yelled.
“We don’t kill.” He told her.
“Did you see what he did to him?!” she screamed.
“Of course I saw! But he’s not any good to us if you carved him like Christmas Ham!” he reasoned.
She grabbed Conner’s shirt and drug him down as he threw another razorang at their heads
“I’m sure the feeling’s mutual.” She replied to him.
“Now if you’ll excuse me, I got a job to do.” she said picking up her swords and went after Ricochet a second time.
“There’s no talking to that girl.” Conner said.
“Welcome to my world.” Robin said while he continued battling Kid Zoom.
The evil speedster knocked the Boy Wonder senseless after dodging the first punch.
“Rob!” he yelled.
Kid Zoom turned and blasted Superboy with an energy jolt. The speedster then raced over and punched Conner with a soaring uppercut that sent him into the rafters this time around.
“That’s for last time!” he yelled. Impulse sacked Kid Zoom from behind a second later driving him to the floor.
Pinning him down Impulse pounded his adversary with a series of punches, the two boys rolled across the floor exchanging hits until Kid Zoom knocked him off with both feet. Bart skidded back on the soles of his shoes and raced back towards him. Kid Zoom blasted a lightning bolt, Impulse ducked down dodging the blast as it sailed over and punched him as hard as he could knocking Kid Zoom into a wall. The villain roared as bursts of lightning obliterate the wall and bust all the house lights to everyone’s alarm. The enraged speedster rushed at Bart and pummeled him at supersonic speed. The barrage of punches trapped Impulse as his head jerked back and forth from the force of the lightspeed blows. His goggles cracked and splintered as Kid Zoom continued his assault. With one last punch he crushed Bart’s nose and sent him flying through the doors of the dance hall, smashing through a car as it passed and sent him into a fire hydrant. The speedster lay unconscious as the hydrant erupted. Kid Zoom looked murderously at the remaining Titans as the dark lightning ran rampant throughout the club.
The speedster looked at the ceiling and threw his fists in the air as the bolts of lightning began destroying the structure.
“He’s going to bring the whole place down!” Conner yelled.
“This was not part of the plan!” Ricochet yelled dodging a slab of concrete.
“The kid takes a beat down and he goes ballistic!” Orpheus said as more debris started to fall from the ceiling. The team formed a circle.
“We got to stop this guy before Kid Psycho here kills us all.” Robin said.
“Well I’m open to suggestions!” said Superboy as the team huddled closely together.
At that moment another wall was blown out as a large figure appeared through the smoke.
“Oh great! Now what?” he asked looking back.
“I’ve waited a long time for this Conner.” The mysterious figure said to him.
“Do I know you?” the Boy of Steel asked.
The figure chuckled as he stepped out of the smoke and entered the shambling club. Revealing himself as a strongly built young man wearing only pants with stylized whitish-blonde spiky hair and had a broken S-Shield tattooed on his chest.
‘I’m your better half, call me Match.” He said.
Across town at the cemetery a new battle was about to start up. As Nightwing and Starfire stood over the graves of his fallen friends, a new figure emerged from behind a tree and pointed a pistol at the two Titans. Neither of which had noticed him until now. Looking up out of the corner of his mask. Dick saw a man wearing a crimson helmet and dressed in biker attire pointing the gun at him.
“Move!” he yelled pushing Starfire out of the way as the man opened fire. The bullets struck the tree directly behind them as they took cover behind the headstones that were being riddled with bullets.
“Am I interrupting?” he asked.
“Who are you?” demanded Dick.
“For now, call me Red Hood.” He said.
Up in the trees another figure threw himself at the duo and launched a handful of scarlet shuirikens at the couple from above. These blades had a very specific design as Nightwing soon discovered with one of the shurikens imbedded in the ground next to him. Each one of the blades was shaped like a jagged ‘X’. The cloaked figure flipped through the air landing in the tree directly behind them.
“Red-X.” he muttered.
“Hello Dick.” The villain said his cape billowing over his shoulder.
A purple energy blast hit where Dick and Kori were hiding blowing them into the air and landing several graves down the line. Nightwing groaned clutching his shoulder his head just an inch away from a tombstone. Kori looked up and saw another old foe, one she that was banished long ago.
“How’s it going Starry?” her sister teased holding up a starbolt next to her face.
“Blackfire?” she said in shock. The Red Hood smirked underneath his mask.
“I take it the gang’s all here.” He said.
Back at the club Match flexed his muscles. The man monster growled as giant bone spikes appeared out of his arms and back and a series of claws appeared on each hand ala Wolverine.
"This look familar to you?" he asked.
"He looks like Doomsday." said Kon.
"They must have grafted some of genetic material onto him." said Tim.
"Isnt the miracles of science remarkable?" the giant asked.
