The Earth, floating forever through the vastness of space as a, rather unpleasant-looking, red spaceship flew by in the distance. Its fuselage in the shape of a large rounded disc, with a narrow spindle topped by a circular projection standing dead center on the upper surface, which appeared to be the bridge. Several spikes extended from the diameter on either side, while two larger ones pointed straight ahead to flank the main gun.

Inside the ship, the sound of a drawn-out, muffled, blood-curdling scream could be heard. A closed steel door slid open and expose a corridor where two winged reptilian humanoids with long tails, and armed with a long spear, marched through. These creatures had a face that resembled that of a skull, with narrow red eyes, and red lines that ran across the edges of their faces. They were covered in dark green scales, and wore faded gold colored armor. As they approach a closed door at the far end of the corridor, the sound of a feral growl and pounding of distant fists against a wall was heard.

The two reptilian creatures reach the door; it opened to reveal two more reptiles posted at a steel-fronted cell with spears crossed. There was a glass slot that allowed the guards to look through the door at the captive. The screams came louder and more intense as they got closer, and the pounding growing ever stronger. "Will the door hold?" One of the reptilian aliens asked the two guards.

"It must." One guard responded as more screaming and banging was heard from behind the cell.

"The alien will be delivered on schedule." The other guard added as he straightened his spear.

The pounding became even greater against the cell door as it slowly gave way to the constant banging it was receiving. The four reptilian guards turned to see this. "And if this thing gets loose?" The fourth alien asked, noticing that the glass slot on the door cracked.

"Then Zorg help us all." One of the reptilian aliens who were guarding the cell answered.

At that moment, one final piercing scream rang through the corridor, the glass slot on the door final breaking, and two burning green eyes rose into view behind it. The guards took a few steps back, bracing themselves for anything and everything. One last yell rang out and the door blew outward off its hinges, blowing back with enough force to be sent flying at the four guards and crashing down the corridor. They moved the door and looked back at the now open prison cell. At first they saw nothing but total darkness, but soon after, the green eyes ignited again and their owner stepped out into the light.

The light revealed a young orange skinned female, with long auburn red hair. Over her forehead and around her face, she wore a vaguely M-shaped face guard that reached around her jaw. Around her neck she wore a silver pauldron with a black broach-like object above her chest. She also had silver shoulder pads, and her arms, stomach, and thighs were covered in purplish-segmented body armor. She wore a black form fitting tank top that stopped above her where her midriff would be, a black skirt with a silver belt, and thigh-length boots with silver trim around her thighs as well as her soles. In addition to all this, her hands and forearms were encased in thick, rigid, bulky white and black-trimmed cuffs, leaving her elbows free and held in place by a bolt that met at where her hands would be. "Zengtha ru maka!" The orange skinned prisoner screamed, "Kek zengtha ror!" The next thing the four guards knew, their prisoner was flying toward them faster than they could react.

The four reptilian aliens quickly readied themselves with their spears, but it was too late, as the obviously pissed orange skinned prisoner swung both forearms in a wild roundhouse, knocking one of the guards against the wall, leaving a crater in it as he slid to the ground. "Zengtha ru maka! Kek zengtha ror!" She roared as she swung wildly again, this time dispatching two more of the guards. The prisoner then tried an uppercut against the last guard, but the reptilian guard was able to block the attack with his spear, knocking her back.

The guard swung his spear to counterattack, but the red-haired female swung her cuffs again, perpendicular to the spear, breaking the shaft in two. She followed up with a kick to the head of the final guard, knocking him back into a control panel on the wall. As he slid down, red lights and sirens started going berserk, triggered by the breaking of the panel. "Heska vo." The female prisoner whispered viciously as she ran down the now open door.

From the outside of the ship, a section of the lower hull blew apart while the escaped prisoner flew out through the smoke and flame. An instant later, she put a lot of distance between herself and her captors, making a beeline to the blue planet the ship was passing by.

The sun was slowly setting, leaving the skies to be overtaken by the silence of the night. As a lone hooded figure was walking along the road, the lights of a city in the distance began to light up as the sunlight faded. The figure was sporting a black zip up, currently unzipped, long sleeved jacket that had a brown fluff trim at the ends of the hood and sleeves, with hands in the jacket pockets. The jacket also had two buttons on a flap on the left side of the coat that crossed the collar to clip on the right side. The figure also wore a gray undershirt and blue, thin-fitted, but not skin tight, jeans that were a bit worn at the knees, a brown leather belt around his waist, and black sneakers with a white trim. On the figures' back was a single strap brown backpack, with black trim, that crossed over from the right shoulder to the left side of the waist. The sound of a car approaching from behind could be heard. The hooded figure turned around and stuck a hand out to the side, trying to catch its attention as the figure continued walking backwards. The car passed by without giving the figure a second glance. The pressure of the passing wind was enough to blow back the figures' hood, revealing a male teen with olive colored skin, messy brown hair long enough for his bangs to reach the bridge of his nose, yet parted in a way that his eyes weren't covered. His body type looked to be thin, yet muscular like an athlete, and his iris' were shown to be a deep blue. After the car passed, the teen threw his hand down, turned around, and watched as the car continued driving away. "Thanks." The brunette sighed in a bored tone, putting his hand back in his jacket pocket. He continued walking until he reached a sign on the side of the road. It read-

"Jump City, 5 miles." The brunette read aloud. He leaned to the left to look behind the sign and saw the city on the horizon. "It'll take way too long to walk there." The teen sighed as he looked to the sky; a slight breeze blew across his face, giving him a sense of peace. However, the moment was interrupted when his stomach growled, signifying how hungry he was. He looked down and gave a cheerful grin as he closed his eyes, "Alright, you talked me into it." He said. The brunette removed his hands from his pockets as he crouched to the ground. A purplish-black flame-like energy began radiating from the bottom of his feet. "Let's go!" He shouted as he shot into the air in the direction of Jump City.

Jump City; a large U-shaped metropolis with both ends connected by a large red bridge. The city reached the shoreline of a bay that fed out into the ocean, with a large single island some odd meters from the shore jutting out of the water. On one of the streets in Jump City, sirens wailed in the distance. A figure, wearing a large coat and a ski mask was running along the sidewalk, with a bulging sack in hand; a burglar running from the police. He quickly ducked into an alley just as a squad of cop cars raced past. The burglar sighed in relief as he smugly eyed the sack, opening it to reveal a good amount of money. He began walking further along the alleyway, but before he got too far, a shadow passed quickly over him, stopping him in his tracks.

"Huh?" The burglar muttered, a bit alarmed at thinking he heard someone. With his free hand, he pulled out a crowbar from his coat and brandished it with uncertainty. The burglar looked up towards the sky, scanning the two buildings to see if something was there. He received his answer when something flashed down from the rooftops at the last moment and struck his hand, sending the crowbar across the ground. The object in question looked to be red with some hint of yellow and in the shape of a crescent but with a handle on the middle for throwing. The item flew back into the shadows. "I don't want trouble, okay?" The burglar stammered as he took a few steps back, looking around in a panic.

A black blur dropped down behind him, at the far end of the alley. The burglar turned to the shadows and found a pair of pinpoint eyes staring at him. A large bat flew toward him, startling the burglar. Throwing his arms up to protect his face, the burglar stood his ground as the bat flew past. Once the nocturnal creature flew away, the burglar lowered his guard and scoffed, believing there was nothing to worry about. That feeling didn't last long as something else sent a whole new scare into him. "You should've thought of that before you committed the crime." A voice said in a serious tone, revealing the shadow to be male.

The burglar quickly turned around and was greeted by a high kick to the chin; knocking him about five yards back. The man steadied himself before running toward the interloper, still hidden in the shadows. The shadow backed up a bit and blocked the wild barrage of punches arching toward his head before delivering a chop to the burglars throat followed by a kick to the chest, knocking the burglar back again. The shadow then bounded up a wall, pushing away at the apex of the run, and vaulting into the air. This move carried the shadow over the criminal's shoulders before grabbing them and then slamming the burglar to the ground in a solid body slam.

However, this was not enough, as the shadow dragged the human punching bag up off the ground and threw him against the wall. Sliding down, half knocked out, the burglar looked up and recognized the shadow as it stepped into the light. The shadow revealed a male teen with spikey black hair, most likely swept back by hair-gel. He wore tight green leggings held up by a yellow belt that had segmented pouches with numerous compartments and a circular black-trimmed belt buckle. He also wore black boots with metal tips on the toes and heels, a red vest with green sleeves and a yellow R over a black circle over the left side of his chest and three yellow clips down his sternum, a black cape with yellow lining around his neck and shoulders, and had green gloves that came up to just before his elbows. His eyes were hidden behind a domino colored mask. The burglar recognized the teen to be Robin, the sidekick of Gotham City's 'Caped Crusader.' "Hey!" The burglar yelled, albeit weakly, "This isn't your town! Aren't you supposed to be with-" he was cut off by a punch to the face, knocking the criminal unconscious.

"Just moved here." The Boy Wonder replied. "And from now on, I work alone." He added as he turned away from the unconscious criminal. The sound of something zooming overhead drew his focus to the skies. He noticed a bright green streak slicing through the night sky above the buildings. The streak traced an arrow-straight path parallel to the alley and disappeared behind the buildings on the far side of the street. The sound of a muffled explosion was heard after it fell out of the spikey-haired teens sight. The ex-sidekick quickly turned around to regard the burglar once more. He pulled out a rope and tied the unconscious criminal securely and hanged him upside down from an overhead fire escape before running to the dead end of the alleyway, shooting a grapple to the top of the building to hoist him up, and followed the green streak.

"Man, this sucks." A familiar looking brunette said as he left a pizza joint where the layout was like a slice of pepperoni pizza. In his hand he held a cheese and bologna sandwich wrapped in a napkin. "I only had enough for a stupid sandwich." He began walking across the street to a plaza that was on the opposite side of the pizza joint. When he reached his destination, the brunette sat down on a stone bench beneath a light and looked at the sandwich in his hand. He then looked at the sky and saw a full moon shining overhead, "Whatever, I'll find some money tomorrow." He said before he raised the sandwich to his mouth. Before he could take a bite out of his food, a bright, neon green blur crash landed into the pavement in front of him, creating a very large crater. The shockwave caused by the crash was strong enough to blow the brunettes hair back and knock the sandwich out of his hands, causing it to land on the grass behind him. The teen turned around, eyes wide and mouth gaped as he looked at the ruined sandwich, about to cry anime style. The crash resounded throughout the block, causing pedestrians to swarm the plaza. The crater emitted a thick cloud of glowing green smoke, hiding whatever it was that crash-landed a few moments ago.

Several curious onlookers stopped their cars and got out for a better look. As the smoke dissipated, it revealed the orange-skinned prisoner at the center of the rubble, a hostile look on her face and eyes burning neon green. "Slopforn ivortmat!" The female screamed as she walked out of the crater. "Slopforn! Ond gudshik zerrole!" Her vicious attitude was beginning to scare people off. A pedestrian tried holding his camera to take a picture of the girl, but when the flash went off, it startled the alien girl, causing her to recoil and squeeze her eyes shut. A moment later, she reopened them, still blazing neon green, and started swinging her arms every which way with a fresh yell. Most of the onlookers backed up even further than they already had as the girl started pounding the pavement hard enough to put potholes in it; the pedestrians now ducking for cover. The girl then yelled, and in a flash she rendered an unfortunate taxi fit for the junkyard with one blow. In her rage, she continued to destroy a bank of pay phones, a bench, and a streetlight. Several of the pizza joint customers stared from the relative safety of the second-floor balcony as it trembled under their feet. When the assault finally stopped, the red-haired alien stood quietly amid the havoc she had just created in this end of Jump City.

"Hey Slopforn!" A voice yelled out cooly from behind her. She turned around and saw the brunette standing a few yards from her, purplish-black flame like energy radiating from his body. "You owe me a new sandwich!" He said loud enough for her to hear as he held out the sullied sandwich with his right hand. The alien girl yelled something at him, but the teen couldn't understand what it was. "Oh yeah? Well… Blargen fedibble no-hip!" The brunette quipped as he tossed his ruined sandwich to the side. This apparently angered the shackled newcomer as she charged him, raising her shackled arms to bring down in a swinging motion. The brunette quickly jumped out of the way when the alien brought her shackles down at where he was standing, the resulting impact destroying the concrete beneath them. "Ho! So that's how you want to play?" The teen asked with a sadistic grin on his face. Readying his right fist, purplish-black energy engulfed it down to his elbow, "Let's dance!" he shouted as he charged the alien girl. With narrowed eyes, he flew head first at his opponent as he brought his fist to the left side of her face. The resulting impact sent her flying back toward the pizza joint, landing face down on the concrete. "Whoo! What a rush!" The teen exclaimed, "This was self defense!" He called out as he turned in the direction of where the girl landed.

The alien girl lifted her head and faced the pizza joint. She noticed a pillar that was supporting the leading tip of the balcony. She quickly got up, hurled herself at the pillar, and struck it hard enough for it to buckle back and crack; the spectators at the railing could barely stay on their feet due to the resulting vibrations. The orange-skinned alien continued to hit the column, "Zop! Yark! Mesnef!" she yelled with each swing into the column.

"Hey! We're not done yet!" The black jacket-wearing brunette yelled as he ran over to the newcomer. When he got there, the column was finally giving way to the constant abuse it received, causing the balcony to fall. The brunette heard screams coming from the people on the balcony, "Hey whoa, WHOA!" He cried as he quickly punched his fists into the ground. Two pillars of purplish-black energy rose in front of him and caught the balcony, "You're fighting me!" He yelled at the girl through heavy breaths.

The shackled alien girl turned to face the brunette who was starting to lower the balcony slowly so as to not harm the civilians on it. She was breathing heavily since the constant bashing of the apparently indestructible shackles tired her out. As she caught her breath the brunette glared at her with narrowed eyes, still breathing heavily. She could notice more and more purplish-black energy slowly radiating from his body. The girl sensed the teen as a threat and charged him, raising her arms for another swing. "Oh crap." The brunette said flatly as he braced himself for the attack. Before she reached the brunette, an airborne red and yellow object flew in her direction, a birdarang hitting squarely into the side of her crown, knocking her completely off balance. Stopping near the brunette, she glared back toward the source of who threw it with a threatening growl and a pair of eyes that could double as lighthouse beacons with their brightness. Curious as to what happened, the brunette also looked over to see who stopped the rampaging alien captive.

Both of them glanced across the street to see the spiky-haired deadeye that was able to hit the alien standing on the roof of a parked car. His arms were tucked under his cape, which draped around his shoulders. Leaping off the car, Robin threw his cape back and posed himself in a fighting stance. "Who are you?" He questioned in a demanding tone as he took a martial arts stance.

However, instead of receiving an answer, the orange girl came up into a leap that carried her all the way across the street, leading into an asphalt-wrecking downward swing. Robin was able to jump clear in the nick of time and touched down in a backward skid along the asphalt, but numerous roundhouse kicks from the orange alien forced him to keep bobbing and weaving. The spiky-haired teen was able to keep up, until he stepped into a pothole, made earlier by the girl he was fighting. He was about to get hit by the shackles on the red heads arms, but she was shoved to the side at the last second when the black-jacketed brunette bowled into her with his shoulder. Robin quickly regained his balance and looked at the brunette, who was standing over him, purplish-black energy still emitted from his arms and shoulders, "Thanks for the save earlier, but kids shouldn't deal with something so dangerous." He said as the energy dissipated.

A vein popped out of Robins' forehead as he stood up, but even standing up, the brunette was still about a head taller than him. "I'm not a kid." He said; shoving past the brunette and running toward the alien he was fighting.

"Hey, wait!" The brunette called out as he chased the boy.

Just inside the mouth of an alleyway near where the trio was fighting, a blue-cloaked figure, with its hood up, was watching as the brunette was trying to punch the alien while Robin leapt high over both of them, slinging a handful of grenades. These grenades exploded when it reached the both of them, creating a smokescreen. "Hey, Traffic Light! Watch where you're throwing those!" the brunette shouted, distracting him from the fight. This left him open for the shackled alien to bring up her cuffs in an uppercut fashion, hitting him beneath the chin. The attack sent the brunette upwards and towards the blue-cloaked figure.

He landed at the figures' feet, his vision a bit blurry from the hit. When his sight refocused, he could see the blue-cloaked figures' impassive, ashen-gray face, barely visible in the shadows, looking down at him. "Lucky shot." He said as he sat up and rubbed his chin. When he stood up, he took off his single-strapped backpack and held it in his hand. "You may want to get someplace safe." The brunette said, catching the blue-cloaked figures' attention, "If this goes south, it'll be dangerous here." He turned around to face the blue-cloaked figure, putting his pack over the figures' shoulder, "Also, keep this safe for me. Thanks!" He said with a cheerful grin as he ran off back into the fray before the figure could say anything to him.

Out on the street, the smoke from Robin's grenades began to dissipate and the luminous green pinpoints of the fighter were the first things he saw. The girl seemed to be completely unharmed. This detail caused Robins' eyes to suddenly bug out in surprise as he gasped softly. The captive then hooked one foot under the chassis of a nearby car and effortlessly kicked it up several feet to which it rotated to point its nose toward the ground. When it was an inch short of splattering the Boy Wonder across the asphalt, the alien booted it towards the black haired teen, who threw himself flat to avoid catching the car with his face. The car sailed in a low, leveled, lightning-fast trajectory down the block and exploded against the building at its end. "Hm. Stronger than she looks." He said as he stood up to see the aftermath.

"What the hell!" he heard a voice call out, "What was in that car? Nitroglycerin?" Robin turned to see the brunette was back and looking at the explosion as well. "Hey watch out!" He warned the Boy Wonder when he turned around.

Robin quickly faced forward and was greeted by the orange alien swinging her shackles and hitting him hard across the jaw. The force of the hit sent him sliding all the way to the trashed pizza joint. The alien jumped in for another hit, even before he could get to his feet. Before she landed, the masked teen quickly dove away and pulled out a metal rod the length of his fist. He clicked it with his thumb and it extended into a much longer bo-staff. This time on the offensive, Robin swung his staff and landed a head shot that propelled his adversary into a car parked roughly fifty yards away. He stepped towards the girl as he brandished the staff again, but it suddenly crumbled in his hands, apparently having been shivered by that crushing hit. "Huh?" he questioned, absolutely befuddled at how his titanium rod could have been destroyed so easily.

The brunette approached him, "What is she? Some sort of indestructible experiment gone berserk?" He asked seeing the remains of the rod.

"I don't know," Robin returned. The sound of the alien girl freeing herself from the wreckage could be heard by the two teens. The girl threw a malicious little smile while working her head around to loosen up her neck, a resounding *crack* was heard as she did so. "But I think we're about to find out." He said readying himself in a martial artists pose.

"Zota." The alien girl said as she came for another jumping strike.

"Don't worry," The brunette said, as he crouched down, purplish-black energy forming around his feet, "I got this!" He shot up into the direction of the airborne fighter, leaving the masked teen surprised. The teen's opponent predicted this, and completely rolled out of the brunettes' way, flying down towards Robin. "No! Look out!" The brunette called out.

But before she could reduce the Boy Wonder's skull to powder, a green bighorn sheep bound into view and completely rammed the orange fighter broadside at full speed. What was really surprising was not that the bighorn sheep was green, but that the animal transformed into a little green-skinned teen male. His outfit was a black and magenta bodysuit with a gray belt and circular buckle, gray gloves, black boots trimmed with magenta, and a magenta and gray hood and mask with eye holes, leaving his green face exposed beneath his eyes. The greenling also had overly large pointed ears, much like an elf. "Ex-Doom Patrol member Beast Boy, sir! How can I help?" He said with a salute. The greenlings eyes went wide, though, when he noticed whom he just saved, "Wowzers! You're Robin, aren't you, sir?" Letting the salute slip in his excitement, but now reestablishing it.

"Well, you can start by not calling me "sir."" Robin answered, 'Great, that's twice that I've been saved in one night. Bruce would be angry.' The masked teen sighed.

The green youth's eyes went wide as saucers and shined with the purest admiration; sparkles hovered around his face, with his hand still glued to his eyebrow in a salute. "Well, let me just say that it's a real honor to be-" the young big eyed boy began.

"Beast Boy, was it?" The object of the young green teens' admiration asked, cutting the changeling short.

"Yes, sir?" He replied, standing straight. Robin pointed off to the side of them, where the orange alien had recovered from the bighorn charge and was getting ready to charge them.

But before she charged them, a familiar brunette brushed past the two of them, flying through the air. "Coming through!" a voice came from the blur as it formed a purplish-back fist around his right arm.

"Whoa," Beast Boy awed as he watched the brunette fly by, "Who's that?"

"I have no idea," Robin answered, 'But something doesn't seem right about him. Especially that… whatever it is surrounding him.' He thought to himself.

The brunette finally connected with the orange captive and knocked her toward a bus. "All right! Now she can pay me back." He whooped as he landed in front of Robin and Beast Boy.

The alien quickly regained her bearings and began picking up the bus she crashed into. When she lifted it over her head, the orange fighter quickly hurled the large automobile toward the brunette, masked teen, and green boy. The brunette stuck his right arm out, but it pained him too much to do whatever he wanted to do, "Ow. Damn, that last punch hurt!" He bent his arm back and grabbed his wrist, "Get out of the way!" He called out as he dove to the left, the bus barely missing him.

The other two boys quickly bolted in opposite directions as the bus flew by. However, they failed to recognize a broad figure in a gray hooded sweatshirt and black pants. Even through the baggy clothing, one could tell that this figure was extremely tall and extremely muscular. The bus bounced in his direction; but instead of being flattened by the flying metal death box, the gray hooded figure extended his arms and caught it. Digging its black combat boots into the ground to brace the impact, the figure slowly brought the vehicle to a stop and lifted it by the bumper. The figure then heaved the bus off to one side, making a plume of dust that cleared to reveal that the gray hooded figure was also wearing dark gray gloves and pants. The hood over his head covered the top half of the figures' face, but a glowing red eye was still apparent, and the lower half of the face showed the figure to be an African-American. "Yo!" The voice shouted, sounding like a male African-American teen, "Who's here messing up my neighborhood?" He called out, a bit of anger in his voice.

Beast Boy quickly slid up next to the gray hooded male, "She started it!" He said, pointing to the cuffed alien girl in the distance. Robin and the brunette quickly made their way back to the other two teens. The hooded male turned and saw the alien standing amid the new stretch of debris and walking up after a moment's pause. The old resolve returning to her stems and face as she approached the quad of boys. She brought both arms up and delivered a thundering blow to the pavement; all four boys nearly dumped flat by the tremor caused by the crash, with every car and broken piece of debris bouncing off the ground. Regaining their balance, the four boys looked up at the orange girl, realizing the hand ends of her restraints fell off, dented and smoking.

The forearms of her cuffs were still firmly locked on, but with her hands free, the alien girl gave a malicious smirk and pointed her hands straight ahead. Her hands began to glow with energy the same color as her eyes. The four boys stared in surprise, "Hr-RAAAAAAA!" the alien captive shouted as she unleashed a mini-gun barrage of green energy blasts from her hands, causing a very thick smoke cloud to hide each of them from view. After a long, tense moment, the four of them charged out of the haze toward her, alarming the girl to start firing energy balls all around the block.

One by one, the boys raced through the hail of green blasts, Beast Boy nearly getting his foot shot off in the process. The energy blasts ripped into the surrounding buildings, parked cars, a neon billboard, and everything within at least a half-mile radius. The final salvo filled the area, causing more smoke and flames to rise. This left the orange fighter breathing heavily as she tried to catch her breath. She was caught by surprise by a quick punch to her left side, below the ribs, by the black-jacketed brunette. The alien coughed in agony as a follow-up roundhouse kick to the face sent the girl flying back. 'This doesn't seem right.' The brown-haired teen thought as he brought his leg down, 'She's not focused on the fight at all.' He glanced back in the direction he sent the alien girl, and noticed she tried to stand, but then fell to her knees, still struggling to break the cuffs on her forearms. 'So then it must be…'

Beast Boy and the hooded figure were hiding behind the smashed bus, Robin quickly vaulted behind it to join them. "Girl's gonna wreck the whole city." The figure said looking over the bus just as the brunette connected his attack with said girl.

"I won't let her." Robin said, punching his right fist into his left palm, "I won't lose this fight." Beast Boy and the hooded figure nodded in agreement. The three of them ran out from behind the bus toward the brunette and the orange girl, but the three of them barely got ten yards down the street before a black energy barrier sprung up to stop them. The trio turned to see what caused it: a gargantuan, screeching bird-shape, black energy raven that wisped away quickly and resolved into the form of the blue-cloaked figure with the hood up, still wearing the brown backpack on her back.

"Maybe fighting isn't the answer." The voice from the blue-cloaked figure revealed it to be a female. The three of them looked at her and thought about what she said. The cloaked girl glanced off to one side and dispelled the apparition that was blocking them. They now had a clear view of the kneeling orange girl with the brown-haired teen crouched next to her.

Robin looked at them, but noticed the gray-hooded figure start walking forward. The domino mask wearing teen grabbed his arm to stop him. "Stand down." He said to the much larger figure.

"What do you think, you the boss or something?" The larger figure asked as he shook off Robins grip and turned to face him.

"Just give me a chance." He said walking past the large hooded figure. He continued walking forward toward the two other fighters, passing by a lot of debris and destruction caused by their fight. The brunette noticed him coming and walked to meet the shorter teen.

"You got a lock-pick or something?" The taller brown-haired teen asked.

"Why?" The shorter black-haired teen returned.

"This was never a fight for her." He said pointing to the cuffs on the girls' forearms, "She was just trying to free herself from those."

Robin looked over to her to see she was still trying to break the cuffs. "Alright, just leave it to me." He said walking toward the girl again.

"Be careful, kid." The brunette said, lacing his hands behind his head.

'I'm not a kid.' The Boy Wonder thought to himself angrily as he approached. Once he got within a few feet, the orange fighter hauled herself to her feel and moved toward him with fists charged with green energy, causing the spiky haired teen to jump back a few feet.

"Gokta!" the female screamed, ready to shoot more energy blasts from her hands.

Robin tried calming her down, "Easy. My name is Robin, and I don't want to hurt you." He said, easing one hand to a pouch on his belt. "I just want to help."

"I got your back if she tries anything." The brunette said from behind. Robin glanced back to see a cheerful grin on his face.

Robin faced forward again and saw the extraterrestrial fighting machine holding him at point-blank range, "Gokta!" She called as she leaned into him, "Gokta buhovna!"

"Careful." The brunette warned. He was about to walk toward the two, but a hand up from Robin, signaling him to stay, stopped him from getting closer.

With the aliens' fists right in his face, the steely vigilante did not even blink as he held up his fist, the girl still on her guard, "It's ok. Look." He said as he opened his fist to reveal a lock-pick.

After looking at the foreign object, the orange girl cooled off, the green light in her eyes and on her hands disappearing, revealing her emerald colored eyes. Robin confidently smiled as he gently pushed the visitors arms down and put the lock-pick to work.

"Now that I think about it, maybe a lock-pick won't work on alien hand-" the brunette started, but was cut off by a *clank* *thud* noise as the shackles on the alien girl come apart and fell to the ground, leaving the brunette surprised, "cuffs."

Robin glanced back and gave the brunette a smirk. He turned back around to see the girl he just freed massage her wrists wonderingly. "There. Now maybe we can be-" Was all he was able to say before the freed alien girl dragged the Boy Wonder to herself with one hand and kissed him long and full on the lips, causing him to drop the pick.

The brunettes' mouth gaped before he collected himself, "Free a girl of her cuffs and she rewards you with a kiss." The brunette sighed as he shook his head.

Her eyes stayed closed throughout the embrace as she let Robin go. When she opened them again, they resumed their green glow. The next two things that followed surprised Robin and the brunette even more than the kiss; one, the alien girl shoved Robin in the chest hard enough to send him back against the brunette, the latter catching the Boy Wonder with no problems. Two, she started speaking English. "If you wish not to be destroyed, you will leave me alone!" She warned.

"You could speak English this whole time?!" The brunette asked a bit annoyed at her, still holding up Robin. But instead of receiving an answer, the alien girl took off, gaining altitude to disappear into the night sky. "Hey!" The brunette called out, tossing Robin to the side, "You still owe me for my sandwich!"

Robin, Beast Boy, the blue-cloaked teen, and the gray hooded figure, all puzzled at what just transpired, gathered behind him. After a long silence, the green changeling finally spoke up, "So… I'm Beast Boy," He said to the gray hooded figure, "Who're you?"

A few minutes after the alien girls' departure, massive destruction done to the city for… miles, the group of five finally broke out of their stupor, the gray sweat suit wearing teen being the first to speak. The others still looking in the direction the alien flew off.

"So, girl just leaves after making this kind of impression?" The African teen stated, looking around at the mass destruction surrounding the five teens.

"Heh, I'd say we made a good impression," Beast Boy chuckled with a toothy grin, "Crazy space girl's gone. City is saved. Mission accomplished. Right, sir?" He asked, turning towards Robin.

"Seriously, stop calling me that." He said flatly as he turned to face the green teen.

"Roger!" Beast Boy said, saluting the spiky haired teen.

Robin sighed at the green teens' action. "Well, it looks like we're done here." He said as he began walking in the direction where the alien girl flew off.

"Where do you think you're going?" The brunette finally spoke.

"I'm going to see if she's a threat or not." Robin answered, brushing past the brunette.

"Maybe she'll give you another kiss." The brunette scoffed jokingly.

The comment caused a shade of red to brush across Robins' cheeks, "T-that doesn't matter." He stammered, "I'm going." He said as he walked down the street.

"Hey sir, I mean Robin!" Beast Boy called out to the Boy Wonder, "Do you maybe…" Robin was out of earshot by the time Beast Boy said this, "need a sidekick…" Beast Boy finished dejectedly, scratching the back of his head.

The brunette walked over to the blue-cloaked girl and put a hand on her shoulder. "Thanks for watching this for me." He said, giving her a friendly smile, as he lifted his backpack off her.

"Oh… yeah…" she replied a bit shyly, "No problem…"

The brunette put the backpack over his shoulder and started walking away, "And what are you going to do?" The larger hooded teen called out to the brunette.

"That girl owes me for my food." He replied putting his hood back up, "And I always collect my debts." Before the others could say anything else, the brunette shot up into the air and flew in the direction of the alien girl; Beast Boy and the hooded figure were left in awe at seeing him fly away.

'He seems to carry a heavy burden.' The blue-cloaked girl thought as she watched the brunette fly away. She glanced over to the other two teens that were still gawking at the sight of the brunette flying away.

Beast Boy was the first to break out of his trance, "So… do you guys wanna get a pizza?" He asked nervously, rubbing the back of his head.

"I shouldn't…" the cloaked girl said as she walked away, leaving the green teen and the large African teen.

"Just you and me then, huh?" He said turning to the gray sweatshirt wearing teen that began walking away, "Cool! I-I haven't had anyone to hang out with since I quit the Doom Patrol," he said as he followed the African-American teen. "This is gonna be fun, you wanna play video ga-" The green changeling was cut off as he slammed into the larger teens back when he stopped walking.

The hooded teen turned to face the much shorter green boy. "There! Take a good, long look!" He said pulling away his hood, revealing the left side of his face down to his jaw to be covered in gray metal, the top side of the left side of his head, the side of his right, and the left side of his neck all featured dark and light blue mechanical parts. "I had an accident, and now I'm a monster, all right? A cyborg." He said.

Beast Boys' eyes quickly lit up at the sight of the larger teen, "Cyborg? OOooooh! You're like Robot Man 2.0!" The greenling said happily, looking the teen over from multiple angles.

The cyborg sighed as he put his hood back on, "You're a weird little dude, you know that?" He stated flatly.

"Hehe, you called me dude," Beast Boy returned with a smile. "Okay so, see you later. Right, dude?" he asked in a happy tone as the cyborg began walking away again. A few seconds later, however, a massive silhouette moved through the sky, causing Beast Boy to call, "DUUUDE!" loudly to the cyborg as a red spaceship flew into view.

Flying through the air, the brunette was scanning the city for the alien girl that flew away. 'Where is she?' He thought as he continued flying over parts of Jump City. He continued scanning until a giant, red unidentified flying object flew over him, catching his attention, "Just great." The brunette said sarcastically.

Shortly after arriving in Jump City, the large, red alien ship released a large orange-armored torch the size of the Statue of Liberty's that landed on an island in the center of Jump City Bay.

"Looks like space girl has friends," The gray-hooded cyborg stated at the sight of the large alien ship; the masked changeling standing next to him.

"Or enemies." The two turned to see Robin walk up next to them.

As soon as Robin finished talking, blue streams of lightning shot out of the top of the torch, projecting a large bluish-green, fish-like, reptilian alien. "People of Earth,"the hologram began saying, "We come to your planet hunting an escaped prisoner. A very dangerous prisoner. Do not interfere and we will leave your city with only minimal damage." As the projection continued talking, the blue-clad girl walked to join the trio of boys listening to the message. "But attempt to assist her; your destruction will be absolute." And with that foreboding warning, the torch cut off the hologram projection. The sound of metal doors opening filled the air and seemed to be coming from the torch itself.

After the announcement ended, the brunette floated down to join the other teens, lowering his hood when he landed. "That's a big ship." The covered cyborg stated.

When the torch doors opened, it revealed to have more red-eyed, reptilian aliens inside. "And those are some scary looking aliens." Beast Boy remarked as said aliens flew out of the torch.

"They told us not to interfere." The blue-cloaked girl said flatly. The swarm of invaders was quickly approaching the city.

"Let me guess," The brunette started as he turned towards the Boy Wonder, "You're still gonna fight them, aren't you?"

Robin nodded in response to the question as he turned to face the rest of the teens.

"Can we come too?" Beast Boy asked in an excited tone.

"I suppose I could team up," Robin said with a determined smile on his face, "Just this once." The other four teens smiled in response to Robin's answer.

The Boy Wonder began walking back through the ruined block of the city with Beast Boy, the brunette, and the gray-hooded cyborg in tow. The blue-clad girl stood back and watched them leave. She then looked down with a sad look on her face. "You in?" A voice asked her, grabbing her attention.

She looked up to see the other boys had turned to face her, "I-I'm not the hero type." She responded, "Trust me, if you knew what I really am, you wouldn't want me around." She finished as she turned her back to the group.

A gloved hand reached out and touched her shoulder, causing her to turn around and face the black-haired teen, "I know enough." He said reassuringly. The other teens giving her a welcoming smile behind him.

As the search for the escaped prisoner continued, the reptilian aliens did not seem to be making much progress. The foreign invaders seemed to be more interested in causing more damage to the city than actually finding the girl; between the destruction of multiple vehicles, and blowing up anything they happened to come across on the streets with their trident like spears, the aliens' idea of "minimal damage" seemed to be going pretty well. After the aliens finished destroying… er, searching the current area and flying off to the next section of the city, the group of five teens slid out of a nearby alleyway.

"All right." Robin said just loud enough for the group to hear, so as to remain undetected, "We need some way to track her."

"She's near." The cloaked girl interjected. The other four boys looked at her in confusion as a large sweat drop slid down the back of her head. "I can sense things." She muttered with a sad look on her face.

"That's useful." The messy-haired teen smiled as he scratched his cheek.

"I'll see if I can pick up her scent." The greenling stated before he took the form of a green bloodhound.

The other teens watched as the dog began sniffing around the immediate area. "There's a sonic analyzer built into my arm." The gray-clad cyborg said as he pulled back his right sleeve, revealing his forearm to be metallic in the same fashion as the half of his head. "If she's around, I'll hear it." He pressed a button on his arm that caused the top panel to open slightly.

"Good." Robin responded.

Beast Boy transformed back into a human, "I got her trail!" He exclaimed as he quickly became a bloodhound again and ran off in a direction.

"And I can hear her heartbeat." The cyborg said glancing at the small screen on his arm, which began glowing red and showing sound waves of a heartbeat. The other three teens nodded before running off in the direction Beast Boy went.

At a local video store, a freshly made hole was burned into the side of the building. Inside, a familiar looking redhead stood in front of a shelf full of candied sweets, popcorn, and other types of junk food. Licking her lips, she quickly grabbed a bucket of popcorn and a candy bar and began chowing down, not even bothering to remove the wrappers.

The group of super teens approached her from behind as she continued scarfing down every available food on the shelf, leaving the area around her with empty buckets and whatever wrappers she didn't eat. "Uh…" Beast Boy began in disbelief that the alien could wolf down so much food in no time flat, "Those taste better without the wrapper."

Now being aware of the others presence, the alien lowered a bucket of popcorn and wiped her mouth on her sleeve. She then turned to face the group and created two large balls of green energy in her hands, ready to attack. "HRAAA!" She growled as her eyes lit up in the same neon green color as the balls in her hands.

The other teens backed up a bit, not wanting to get blasted by the still enraged alien. "It's all right." Robin said as he put his hands up to try and calm the orange-skinned teen, "We're friends, remember?"

"Friends? Why?" The girl asked as she took a few steps toward the group of five, "For what purpose did you free me?"

"Just… trying to be nice." Robin responded nervously as the group continued backing away from the alien.

"Nice." The alien girl repeated, the word seeming foreign to her, "We do not have this word on my planet. Closest is 'rutha,' weak." She stated as she narrowed her eyes.

Snapping out of the fear that was instilled in him, the cyborg spoke up, "Well around here, nice means nice." He said in a slightly angered tone, "And if you want us to keep being nice you better tell us why the Lizard King took you prisoner."

Surprised at the statement, the alien girl dispelled the glow in her eyes, showing her emerald colored irises. "I am not prisoner… I am prize." She said in a sad tone as she looked down. "The Gordanians deliver me to the Citadel to live out my days as their servant." The other teens looked at her with surprise as she explained her situation.

"And the Citadel are…" The cloaked girl trailed off, trying to find an answer.

"Not. Nice." The orange alien finished as she looked back up to face the group of five.

"Then you're not going with them." Robin said as he approached the auburn haired girl, pointing his thumb at himself, "Not if I have anything to say about it."

"You're not thinking of leaving us out of this, are you?" The brunette asked as he walked next to the black haired teen.

Just then, a huge explosion from the sidewall caught the group off guard. The result left the six of them on the ground. When they looked up to see what it was that caused the hole in the wall, a group of space lizards could be seen looking in.

"Seize her!" One of the aliens yelled as it pointed to the orange-skinned teen. On command, the rest of the group of aliens took flight and began flying towards their target.

The six gathered teens stood up and rushed the oncoming attackers. The cyborg struck one alien with a double axe handle to the back. Beast Boy charged a group of aliens as a rhino, knocking them in different directions. The orange alien, with eyes lit up in their green glow, plowed through a dozen aliens with the power that could equate to a megaton punch. Robin took on his number of aliens with his bo-staff, knocking them all back with a few good swings. The brunette engulfed his arms and legs with his purplish-black energy and charged through his group of aliens, taking them out with a barrage of punches and kicks. The blue-cloaked girl easily dealt with a number of the aliens by forming black magic around her hands that sent her opponents flying.

An explosion from inside the store caused another large hold to form, with smoke hiding whatever caused it. The alien girl then flew backwards through the cloud and began shooting energy bolts at three oncoming attackers. She was able to hit two, but the third got within punching distance. Trying to knock the alien down, the redhead threw some punches, but proved to be ineffective when the lizard alien swerved out of the way and swung to hit the girl down, causing her to crash into the ground. The orange teen looked up to see the reptile standing over her, pointing its spear at her, ready to blast her with a blue bolt of lightening.

Robin, grappling with one alien, turned to see the alien girl in trouble. He quickly grabbed the alien by his shoulders, and flung him around to crash into the reptile standing over the redhead, sending both of them flying away. The orange alien looked to Robin and gave him a smile as thanks for saving her.

Robin quickly turned to fight more oncoming aliens; the red haired alien girl flew in his direction to help him out.

Fighting his own alien, the African teen was tripped up by the reptiles' tail, causing him to fall flat on his back. Before getting shot by a bolt from his opponents spear, he flipped out of the way, but was greeted by more blue bolts when he landed, causing a smokescreen to form around him. When the smoke cleared, his full form was revealed. His body, except for his biceps and the majority of his face, was robotic, showing blue semi-transparent components on his thighs, forearms, and shoulders, while the rest of his body was white and gray with black armor underneath and gray trim that separated parts of his body.

Collecting his bearings, the cyborg leapt at the alien that attacked him and punched the aliens' spear in two. Following that, the African teen grabbed the alien and threw him at a group of flying baddies.

Some more reptiles appeared and continued firing at him, seemingly too much for the cyborg to handle. What surprised the cyborg more was when the talons of a green pterodactyl grabbed his shoulders and lifted him off the ground. As more aliens took aim at the duo, their concentration was broken when the black-jacketed teen flew through their group, knocking most of them to the ground with overhead punches. Before more could swarm the brunette, a lamppost covered in black colored magic swung and knocked the aliens away. Some aliens flew away immediately as the ones on the ground looked at the teens before following their companions' example.

After the fighting was done, the alien redhead turned to face the rest of the group, "I believe your expression is… thanks." She said a bit roughly, but thankful all the same.

"Aw man, my suit." The now exposed cyborg groaned as he removed what was left of his sweats from his body.

"So? You look way cooler without it!" The green changeling said with a toothy smile while giving the cyborg a 'thumbs up.'

"Yeah," the taller African teen began as he loomed over Beast Boy, "Like I'm taking fashion advice from a kid in a-"

"Uh guys," The brunette interjected, causing the rest of the teens to look over to him, "It doesn't look like this is over." He finished as he pointed in the direction of the large orange torch.

The group turned to look and see the giant projection of the alien who gave the warning before in the night sky, "Fools! The Earth scum were warned." The projection shouted bitterly, "Your insolence will be punished. Your city shall be destroyed."

After the projection disappeared from the sky, the large, red alien ship pointed its' large cannon at the city it now deemed unworthy of staying on the map.

"Great…" The blue-clad mage said flatly as the group looked up at the ship.

"So, after trashing a pizza place and a perfectly good video store, we've managed to make a humongous space gecko mad enough to vaporize our entire town?" Beast Boy asked in a matter of fact tone.

"Go team." The cyborg said sourly as he twirled his right index finger in the air.

In front of the group of four, Robin and the extraterrestrial were arguing. "All the fault is yours!" She yelled, a sight gag showing her head growing as she yelled at the Boy Wonder. "I commanded you leave me alone, but you insisted upon the being nice!" She finished as her head shrank back to normal size.

"My fault?" Robin asked angrily as his head grew. Shrinking back to normal size, the masked teen continued yelling at the alien girl, "You blast me, you kiss me-" he leaned in towards the girl, sparks flying between their eyes, "-but you never stop to mention that they have a gigantic particle weapon?"

The brunette walked over to the three teens who weren't arguing as a shouting match between the previous pair was heard.

"We're doomed!" The green changeling cried. He turned towards the cyborg, "I can't believe I let you talk me into this!" He pointed in an accusing manner towards the larger African teen.

"Say what?!" The cyborg yelled angrily at Beast Boy, "I was ready to walk before you-" The two of them continued their shouting match.

The noise rose as the two groups continued arguing amongst themselves. The brunette and cloaked girl began getting annoyed. The brunette pinched the bridge of his nose and the girl shut her eyes tightly as she tried to concentrate. Unfortunately, the shouting got too loud for her, for she was about to say something. "SHUT UP!" The blue clad girl heard a yell come from the brunette, the yell echoing in the silent street, promptly shutting everyone else up quickly.

Four pairs of eyes turned to face the brunette, who was standing next to the blue-cloaked girl. The sets of eyes made the girl nervous, "Hi." She waved timidly.

"Arguing about this is only going to get us all killed." The brunette said pointing upwards to the ship with its' weapons primed, "In case you all forgot, that could obliterate the entire city if it wanted to. And I don't plan on dying anytime soon."

The other teens looked up at the ship again, Robin looked back at the alien girl, "He's right." He began, "It doesn't matter how we got into this mess. We're in it, and we'll get out of it." He turned to face the other four teens, "Together."

"No, I cannot agree." The alien girl said, causing all the other teenagers to face her, "This fight is not yours."

"You made it ours when you landed in this city." The brunette returned as he approached the alien girl, stopping when he was standing next to Robin, "So I think we should listen to little sparrow here." He added with a smirk as he rustled the shorter teens' hair.

Robin quickly swatted the brunettes' hand from his head and stepped towards the red-haired alien, "Trust us, together we can do it." The orange-skinned girl looked at Robin. After thinking what he said over for a brief moment, she nodded in agreement. Robin smiled as he turned to the brunette, who gave him a "thumbs up" gesture and a cheerful grin. The gray-skinned girl and African teen nodded in agreement as well while Beast Boy gave a mischievous smile to show he agreed as well.

"Right then, let's get going." Robin finished as he led the group down the street.

Inside the hovering ship, many of the reptilian, fish aliens were rushing across a catwalk that led to the bridge of the ship. After the aliens cleared out of the room, a large black bubble of energy fazed through the walls and dissipated, exposing the six teens within.

The group of six began moving through the room, "Ugh," Beast Boy groaned as he rubbed his stomach, "That dark energy stuff gives me the-" The brunette, with his hood back up, put a hand over Beast Boys mouth to keep him from finishing his sentence. The cloaked girl edged a bit closer to the two, giving them a slightly annoyed glare. "Uh…" Beast Boy began as the brunette removed his hand, "…I mean, it's cool." He corrected, giving a broad smile and a thumbs-up, sweat popping off his head with a forced chuckle.

The six teens quickly made their way down the catwalk where they entered into another corridor. Down the hall, they noticed a few reptilian aliens hustle through, turning right when they reached the end. Robin poked his head around the corner to see if enemies were there. When he saw that there was only an unguarded metal door, he turned back and faced the other teens. "We have to get to the firing controls." He said softly. Given the heroes' track record and whom he worked with previously, it was safe to assume he was correct, "There isn't much time." He stepped around the corner and headed towards the door.

The orange-skinned alien was the first to follow after him, then the green changeling, and then the cyborg. The blue-cloaked girl emerged after they were a ways down the hallway. Instead of approaching them, she tried tiptoeing as quietly as she could, so as to not get noticed. However, that failed as the changeling threw a look back at her over his shoulder while he followed the cyborg towards the end of the corridor. The girl stopped moving, closed her eyes, and dropped her head in a dejected manner.

"Why're you back here by yourself?" The cloaked figure heard a voice come from behind her. She turned back and saw a familiar looking brunette emerge from the shadows from the previous room, the brunette lowering his hood as he approached the girl.

"You heard the kid." The cloaked teen responded flatly, "I don't exactly fit in." She finished, lowering her head again.

The brunette placed a hand on her shoulder, causing the girl to look up at him, "Don't say that," he said turning the girl to face in the direction of the others. "He's green," He said pointing to Beast Boy, "Half of him is made of metal," the brunette said pointing to the cyborg, "She's from space," he pointed to the orange alien, "and I believe hair-gel flows through his veins." He finished as he pointed towards Robin. The brunette took his hand off her shoulder and faced her again, "So c'mon," he held his hand out for her to take, "You fit in just fine."

This seemed to ease the girls' mind as a slight smile appeared on her face. She nodded, took his hand, and was led by the brunette as they approached the rest of the group.

At the front, Robin was scouting ahead. As they continued passing through the ship without being noticed, the alien girl stepped up to him, garnering his attention. "I bring you… apology." She said solemnly.

Robin turned to face her, "Don't worry about it." He replied, "I'm sorry I yelled, too."

This caused the orange-skinned alien to smile. "And again, you are… nice. On my world, only my K'Norfka has shown me such kindness."

"Well, things are different here," Robin replied with a smile, causing the girl to blush a bit. The two of them looked at each other, sharing a rather intimate moment before Beast Boy startled them out of their reverie.

"Uh, guys?" He said pointing past Robin and the redhead, "I think they know we're here." He said as he pointed in front of them.

The group faced forward to notice a squad of charging troops. At the back, the brunette and the blue-cloaked girl turned to see another group running from the rear, "Looks like we got ourselves a fight!" The brunette said with a malicious smile as black flame-like energy emitted from his body.

With the weapons of the ship warming up and the power levels of the gun topping out, one of two crewmen manning the helm on the bridge turned in his seat to address a larger, menacing looking throne with the back facing the henchman. "Lord Trogaar!" He called out, "The weapon has reached full power."

The chair swiveled around, revealing the leader of the reptilian aliens. He didn't look that much different, except for looking a bit larger than the others and the armor the alien wore was a bit more profound with spikes on the shoulders, while he wielded a large trident like spear. "Then begin the firing sequence." The helmsmen obeyed and began typing incessantly on the controls. A timer in, I guess, the reptilian language began counting down on the overhead display screen. "The Earth scum shall learn…" Trogaar said as he stood up, "…it takes more than six juvenile heroes to defy the mighty Lord Trogaar!" He finished as he placed his clawed hand on his hip, looking down the windows in front.

Down the ship's bow, the weapons' barrel began charging, ready to fire on the city. Inside the cockpit, Trogaar smiled grimly at the destruction about to be unleashed. Before the cannon could go off, a large explosion occurred behind him, causing the door directly behind his throne to be blown inward with terrific force and fill the area with smoke. A moment later, the six teens walked out of the dust cloud and into the room, leaving a trail of defeated alien warriors behind them, all throughout the ship.

"We're not six heroes." Robin stated, "We're one team." Trogaar turned around to see Robin standing in front, with Beast Boy, the cyborg, and the black-jacketed teen standing at his sides, while the alien girl and blue-cloaked girl floated above them.

Trogaar ditched his triumphant smile and replaced it with an enraged growl as every deckhand started charging the group of six. Robin led the charge for his side and flew into a kung-fu kick, decking an alien across the face. The cyborg slammed both his fists onto the floor, throwing out a sheet of energy to blast two more aliens off the ground. Beast Boy had transformed into a kangaroo and delivered kicks to two opponents in the gut, full force, sending them flying back. Across from the shape shifters skirmish, the alien redhead delivered a supercharged uppercut that sent her enemy crashing into the deck.

The black-jacketed teen, forming purplish-black energy around his arms and legs, started charging a group of three aliens. When he reached the trio, he punched one in the face with a powered fist, sending the alien back. The other two were caught off guard at this and couldn't respond quickly enough as he swept this leg under theirs, knocking their feet from under them. The brunette then lifted one alien up by the nape of his neck and belt, spun around, and threw him to where the alien he punched moments earlier landed. The third alien tried getting up, but the brunette stomped on the unfortunate reptiles' head with enough force to cause a small crater in the ground, knocking the reptile out.

Beast Boy was back in human form dodging attacks from another alien. Turning back into a marsupial, he kicked another alien away, lashed another with his heavy tail, and then transformed back to his human form. When he turned back, however, Trogaar leapt in close, smashing both arms against the deck, almost striking the changeling, "WHAAA!" He yelled as he was sent flying back before smashing into a wall. He slid down and ended up as a heap on the floor.

Lord Trogaar followed up with a charge towards the knocked out greenling, ready to beat him to a pulp. However, the blue-cloaked girl popped up from the floor via her black energy magic and threw up a shield, blocking the reptilian lords progress. One punch after another thumped into the black shield as the pale-skinned girl backed up slowly towards the wall. Buckling her knees and falling to the floor, the shield finally gave out. Trogaar prepared to flatten them both as he lifted his fists to slam down, however his attempt was foiled as he was punched in the side with enough force to send him recoiling. Turning to see the assailant, he was greeted with a knee to the face that caused him to stumble backwards and kneel, passing an underling who was in a battle of strength with the cyborg of the group.

Trogaar looked up to see the brunette kneeling next to the blue-cloaked girl, helping her up, and throwing the unconscious Beast Boy over his shoulder. "Annoying little pest!" He growled as he stood up to charge the trio.

However, the reptilian lord was stopped again as a familiar looking traffic light leapt over the brunette and delivered a crushing left jab that lifted Trogaar off his feet. Even before the latter could hit the floor, he was bashed in a different direction by a steel-soled spin kick. After the alien lord hit the ground and collected his bearings, Robin tried to follow up with more attacks, but was caught at his midsection by the massive hands owned by the alien. He hurled the black-haired teen across the bridge, into the far wall behind the captain's chair.

"Robin!" The alien girl cried at the sight of the Boy Wonder getting thrown into the wall. Enraged, she quickly took off through the air and unleashed a string of neon green energy shots towards Trogaar that tore into the deck on their way to him. The shots resulted in a smokescreen that shrouded the alien lord. A moment later, the lord jumped out of the smoke towards the girl, fully intact and angrier than ever, barring her to the floor when he reached his target. His giant hand lifted her high and slammed her down into the ground again. The girl struggled to break his hold for a moment, but couldn't get free. It wasn't until the redhead squeezed off a body-blow starbolt that the larger reptilian lord dropped her.

As he backed up cautiously from the one-time prisoner, who turned out to be far more trouble than she was worth, the cyborg rushed across the bridge from a pile of unconscious aliens. The bionic landing a right haymaker to the boss aliens jaw, sending the Gordanian back. The blue and white cyborg landed in front of the redhead before they tried charging the boss together. Trogaar took a merciless fury of high-octane punches to all his sore spots from his two attackers, but even that was not enough to put him out of business. He counter-attacked with a one-two-three combination that sent both aspiring pugilists across the bridge toward the still-prone Robin.

When the cyborg hit the ground next to Robin, some panels on his right arm shifted around, opening to reveal the circuitry inside. Robin noticed this, "Can you rewire that into some sort of weapon?" He asked the cyborg as he pointed to the opening in his right arm.

The three fighters stood up as the larger African teen glanced down at his right arm, "I can try." He replied as he lifted his left hand to his other arm.

Before any of them could react, Trogaar and the still-conscious aliens moved closer to surround them. Savagely grinning, Trogaar turned to his right and saw the brunette carefully placing the still-unconscious Beast Boy against a speaker to support him in an upright position. He took one of his minions' trident-spears and readied it for a throw, but stopped when he heard a soft-spoken voice.

"Get away from my friends!" the blue-cloaked girl yelled menacingly as she got between the lord and the two teens he was aiming at, black energy forming around her as her eyes glowed within the cowl of her hood. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" She chanted, unleashing her powers.

Had someone been watching the ship from the city, said person would have seen the bridge of the ship explode, causing most of the front half of the ship to disappear. The explosion caused the ship to fly out of control and plummet toward Jump City Bay, causing massive waves to splash. After the water calmed down, only the demolished bridge of the ship was still above water, slowly sinking into the depths. Inside the now-exposed deck, Robin, the cyborg, and the alien girl straightened up after regaining their balance from the crash. They glanced over across the bridge and saw Trogaar stand up.

The enraged reptilian lord turned to face Beast Boy, who was still unconscious, the brunette, and the blue-cloaked girl, and casted his broad shadow over them as he made his approach. The brunette tried to stand up to face Trogaar as he extended his claws on one hand to full length, ready to disembowel the trio, but stumbled back down, clenching his knee. It appeared that the crash resulted in injuring it. Just as the trio braced themselves for the attack from the alien, a brilliant blue and white ringed beam of light flashed from behind, connecting with the alien lord squarely in the back. The resulting attack sent the alien falling like a ton of bricks, exposing the other three teens behind him.

The cyborg's right arm was raised, pointing straight ahead, his hand replaced by the muzzle of a cannon-like gun. The brunette and the blue-cloaked girl glanced at the unconscious alien before looking over to the cyborg. "All right, I'm only going to say this once," He said as his arm powered down and turned back into a hand, "Boo-yah." He smirked cooly.

Standing on the coast of the small island that rose out of the water in the middle of Jump City Bay, Beast Boy, the cyborg, the gray-skinned girl, and the black-jacketed brunette, with his brown backpack leaning against his leg, stared out into the bay as the sun began rising out of the ocean. The Gordanians took any working shuttles off the planet after their warship was destroyed to escape the teens, having left the alien torch… projector still jutting up from the island.

"That's quite a view," The blue-cloaked girl said as she lowered her hood, revealing a female teen with ashen gray skin, violet shoulder length hair and matching colored eyes, and a red chakra in the middle of her forehead, and pulled the cloak over her shoulders, revealing a black leotard, black armlets, blue wristbands, blue ankle cuffed boots, and a pair of broaches on the backs of her gloves, while her belt was made of the same type of broaches.

"Somebody oughta build a house out here." The cyborg said, crossing his arms.

"Claim it fast," The brunette smirked, "It's a buyer's market." He crouched down, put his pack around his back, and rested his arms on his knees.

"Yeah," Beast Boy said with a smile, "If you like sunshine and the beach." He slid over to the violet-haired girl, nudging her side with his elbow.

This caused the gray-skinned girl to laugh softly, "You know, you're kind of funny." She said with a small grin.

Famous. Last. Words.

At this comment, stars appeared in Beast Boys eyes and his ears perked up, "You think I'm funny?" He started laughing as a sight gag showed him getting a swelled head, "Dude! I know some jokes!"

Those last four words were enough to unnerve the violet-haired girl considerably, causing a sweat drop to slide down her temple and her left eyebrow twitching a bit.

As the greenling tried sharing more jokes, the brunette stepped up behind him and put a hand on the shorter teens head, "She said 'kind of.' You don't need to go overboard with the jokes." He said taking his hand off Beast Boys head, "Besides, you look funny enough with that mask on."

"What are you talking about?" Beast Boy cried, "My mask is cool!" He returned as he pulled down on his mask.

"No." The cyborg interjected as he shook his head, "No it's not."

"Aw man!" Beast Boy cried in anime tears, "But what about my secret identity?"

"You're green and can turn into animals," The brunette responded with a joking smile directed towards Beast Boy, "I'm pretty sure anyone can tell who you are."

The green changeling tried to look for an answer but couldn't find anything to help defend his mask. With a sigh, Beast Boy removed his mask to reveal short spiky hair with pointed ears normally proportioned.

"See?" The brunette chuckled as he rustled his hand through Beast Boys hair, "Doesn't that feel better?"

"I guess so…" The greenling sighed as the brunette removed his hand. "Hey wait, what's your name anyway?"

"Oh!" The brunette just realized he didn't know anyone's names, "That's funny; we've been fighting together all night I thought we knew each other already." He said with a smile as he rubbed the back of his head.

"So, what is your name?" The cyborg asked, turning to face the brunette and changeling.

The brunette turned to the cyborg, "You first." He said, "Wouldn't be fair for me to be the only one introducing myself."

The cyborg approached the brunette, moving his hands out of a crossed position, "Fair enough," The African-American teen said, "Victor."

"Kylar," The brunette replied, holding his hand out for Victor to shake.

The cyborg took Kylar's hand and shook it, "Nice to meet you."

"Same here," The two teens let go of each other's hands with friendly smiles.

"Hey Kylar, I'm Beast Boy!" The green teen said with a toothy grin as he slid up next to the brunette.

"Nice to meet you too, and it's pronounced Ky-ler," Kylar chuckled as he rustled Beast Boys hair. After he removed his hand from the greenling's head, he turned to the gray-skinned girl, "And what's your name?"

"It doesn't matter, I won't be staying long anyway." The violet-haired girl responded; her head lowered as she turned away from the brunette.

Kylar approached the sullen girl and placed a hand on her shoulder, turning her to face him, "You're still someone we can trust, and you saved my life too," he said warmly, causing the violet-haired girl to blush a little as she looked into his eyes.

She quickly turned away, breaking eye contact with him, "R-Raven," The blue-clad mage said in response to his question.

The brunette smiled, "Raven," he repeated, "Beautiful name." He said, the gray girl, now known as Raven, quickly backed away from him. Kylar chuckled a bit as he found the girls embarrassment cute.

"So what's next?" Victor asked, Kylar turning to face the taller cyborg.

The brunette sighed, "Well, since I couldn't get money for my sandwich…" Kylar trailed off as he looked to the shore to see a trident like spear sticking out of the sand. He quickly leapt to the alien weapon, grabbed it, and jumped back to the cyborg, "I guess I could pawn this off for some money." He smirked. As he held the spear straight up, it was about a few inches taller than he was, about the height of the cyborg by comparison.

"That. Is. Awesome!" Beast Boy cried excitedly as he slid up next to the taller brunette, eyeing the spear.

As the group of four were interacting with each other, their attention was gathered when they heard a voice come from behind, "Please," The four teens turned to see Robin standing behind them, the alien girl approaching them, revealing an outfit change. Most of her armor had been cast off except for the silver around her neck and forearms, revealing far more skin. Her tank top and boots that were silver-trimmed were now purple, and on her right bicep was a silver armband. The M-shaped crest on her forehead was also gone, revealing a pair of small eyebrows that matched her hair, really bringing out her emerald eyes and giving her an exotic look. "I look… nice?" She asked.

Robin stepped up with a smile, looking the girl over, "I still don't know your name."

"In your language, it would be 'Star Fire.'" She responded, walking towards the other teens some more.

"Welcome to Earth, Starfire." Robin said with a smile. Raven and Victor walked up to stand behind Robin.

The now named alien smiled, "I thank you all for your bravery and help, and I wish to ask permission… to remain here." Starfire said, looking at Raven and Victor, "Where the people are most…" She looked back to see Beast Boy holding the spear Kylar found, waving it around, then suddenly shooting a bolt of lightening from the tip towards Kylar. The brunette quickly ducked out of the way and grabbed the spear out of the green teens' hands, the latter laughing nervously at what he just did. "Strange…" She added. She turned back to face Robin again, "…but also most… kind," Starfire finished warmly. Robin and the alien girl blushed a bit before looking away from each other.

"You don't need our permission." Raven replied kindly.

"But if you want our friendship, you've got it," Robin said, still smiling as he turned to face Starfire again. Kylar and Beast Boy walked up to join the rest of the group.

"Looks like we could all use some new friends," Victor added.

"Besides, we kind of made a good team," The greenling stated with a smile. The brunette nodding in agreement as he smiled with his eyes closed.

At those words, Robins' eyes widened a bit, as though he remember something. "I thought we might want to keep in touch," The Boy Wonder said as he searched through a pouch on his belt, "so Cyborg and I designed these."

On the last word, Robin pulled out a quad of circular yellow communicators, black trim along the bottom, a side button, and a black antenna with a red button on the side; Starfire, Beast Boy, Raven, and Kylar each took one from the spiky-haired teen.

"Made 'em outta my own circuits." The now dubbed Cyborg said with crossed arms.

"When there's trouble, you know who to call." Robin said.

The group of six turned to face the horizon as the sun continued rising out of the ocean with the sound of waves lapping gently against the islands shores filling the air. Perhaps this was the beginning of a truly beautiful… friendship.

Aw yeah, words 'n shit!
