We have now arrived to the main event. There will be no quick resolution here. Just cold, hard, ranged combat and fist to fist fighting. A battle, truly worthy, to be remembered if it ever happened (LOL). It's been over a month since I updated this! I'm so sorry about that guys! I've been writing so many other ideas that have come to my mind recently.

Mailbox Time!

TimeWolfWarrior: Thank you! I couldn't just have Titan's North fall when everyone is going to be needed here. How they'll get to this though, you'll have to guess. (gives a cookie)

Lilfitz04: Oh yeah. It is so going down for real in this chapter. (gives a cookie)

Artemis Raven Courtney: Yeah, except for the Gordanians of course. (gives a cookie)

RPGPersona: Munch, Munch. Who knew cookies could taste so good online? And I kind of figured since Robin usually thinks things out and has a back up plan for most cases, that he'd entrust Herald with a device like that since he would be able to easily gather up the other Titans. And of course, when he asked Cyborg to make something, he had to have fun with the project. Thus, also the fancy gizmo stuff on it. Part of the Gordanian's plans revealed this chapter. Try and guess before you read again. And I am not allowed to answer those questions at this time. (Gives two cookies, and a high five)

Bluedog197: I thought it'd be natural for Gnarrk to eat something metallic. It took me a while to think of the perfect thing though. Some of my other ideas involved him eating a fridge, or a TV. And yeah, I am a proud supporter of the Hot Spot/Argent pairing as well! As well as the Jericho/Kole pairing *sighs happily.* I hope you have some extra popcorn this time because *drops down sunglasses* **** is about to hit the fan. *YYYYYEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHH* (I love my life) (Gives three cookies, popcorn (just in case), and a big hug)

This took me a whole month of writing guys! So you better believe me when I say you better freaking like it!

Chapter Seven: Titanic Battle Part One

Battle of Jump City:

"Titans! Stay together! Don't let them separate us from each other!" Robin shouted to the others. Each of them except Starfire giving a curt nod in reply.

The Gordanians were almost upon the small group of heroes. It almost seemed too easy to the charging soldiers. Coming in from the air and the ground all around the small group, besides the back. They thought for sure that the heroes would be skewered in the first charge.

That was when a black, ethereal shield came up, composed of Raven's soul self. And surrounded the group on all sides.

The Gordanians who didn't react fast enough broke their weapons against the shield. Those who were even less fortunate knocked themselves out hitting the shield. Raven grimaced when the rather large bodies knocked into her soul self, but kept the shield up.

Needless to say, the alien advance came to a sudden, and excruciatingly painful grinding halt.

As soon as they realized they couldn't break through by sheer force, they stopped and took a few steps (or a couple feet in the air) back. As they started to quickly debate on what they could do to get the heroes to attack.

Quicker than the eye could follow. The black shield dropped. Catching all the gathered aliens off guard.

This was followed by a series of explosive disks, green star bolts, sonic cannon blasts, and bolts of electric energy. Hitting the closest Gordanians gathered around the small group. The grunt soldiers, caught off guard, tried to step back to make room to fight. Knocking over some of them in the process.

A green Stegosaurus suddenly appeared out of the small group. Its massive size and spiked tail easily able to knock those in the air and on the ground around it away. Mainly those close by in the air. As his friends were easily dealing with those on the ground. Since they had all either damaged, or broken their weapons on Raven's shield.

A rather large black shadowy Raven hovered around in the air above the Stegosaurus. Hitting away those few who managed to dodge the extinct dinosaur out of the air.

Within a matter of seconds. The onrush of Gordanians that had been closest to them were eliminated. While the others had retreated back in the direction of the beaches. Those in the front lines already having their rifles charged and firing at the group of heroes.

But the Titan's moved forward from their position. Already starting to close in on the Gordanians.

Beast Boy morphed into a small falcon and landed on Raven's shoulder above him. As she surrounded the two with an ethereal shield as she flew forward.

Bumblebee stayed rather close to her Sparky in small form. Hitching a ride on his shoulder as she shouted out profanities at the Gordanians.

Robin was running arm in arm with Starfire through the alien fire. Both of them preparing to use one of their more famous combos together.

They all moved towards the rather large of Gordanians. All of them being ones that had fallen back when the shield had came up. All of them armed with their weapons. And they were lined up in military formation, both on the ground, and several meters in the air. Firing at our group of heroes.

It didn't slow them down one bit.

In a spectacular display of strength. Starfire pulled Robin back, did a 360, and threw him forward. His Bo-Staff was already extended.

As he flew through the air. Robin showed amazing skill and grace as he dodged the Gordanian energy fire. As he flew closer and closer to his target.

His steel clad right foot landed right in the middle of a Gordanian's face. His Bo-Staff already hitting two more over the head one after the other before he even finished moving forward. Right foot still implanted in the Gordanian's face as the Gordanian fell back onto the ground.

Within seconds, Robin fighting like a crazed, yet graceful madmen in the midst of them. Easily knocking away their weapons while taking down more at almost the same time. He was still mad about what their leader had said earlier.

Starfire followed right behind him. Going right through the hole he had made in their line. She was already shooting her Starbolts and Eyebeams at those around Robin. No longer fearing about damaging the inside of the Tower. And now that she was out in the sunlight, she'd be able to easily recharge during the battle.

She fought as if she to were crazed. But unknown to them all, it was for a very, very different reason. As she fought, her head seemed to be looking around a lot. As if she was trying to find someone in the fight.

Cyborg and Bumblebee had charged to the right a little behind Robin and Starfire. Cyborg mainly relying on his armor to protect him from the energy blasts. And Bumblebee using the armor on his body to protect herself from the energy blasts.

As he charged them both forward, he kept on firing his sonic cannon in the area to the right of Robin and Starfire. Effectively disabling several Gordanians and grabbing their attention. As they stopped trying to seal their center line and focused on fighting the two heroes.

When he got the two of them close enough, he retracted his sonic cannons. And used his body to plow into the first standing Gordanian he saw in the line.

Now a normal Gordanian is about eight feet tall. Five hundred pounds unclothed. And six hundred with the armor and weaponry attached. Making them really strong, and bulky fighters.

Cyborg was over eight hundred pounds at six foot six. And most of his body was made from a strengthened titanium alloy. The fake muscles in his arms alone capable of pushing weights of over twenty tons while standing still.

So it wasn't any surprise to his logistics when the Gordanian he crashed into at twenty miles an hour went flying back through the air. Knocking several of his comrades out into the bay with him. Cyborg's face was ice cold as he brought his fist up to uppercut another that had charged towards him. He to was sent flying away.

As Cyborg had hit his first target. Bumblebee jumped off his shoulder and flew into the air. Knocking out those who were already trying to fire at Cyborg's back. Drawing the attention of all those in the air on that side to her.

They quickly figured out just how outclassed they were. As Bumblebee was easily able to shrink and grow at will. And even when small, her stingers packed quite a powerful punch. Thanks to some upgrades and modifications that Cyborg had done for her a while back.

Her fighting style in the air was pretty similar to that of the Antman on the ground. Shrinking to dodge a spear or huge fist, running up their arm while she was small, and growing in size again to deliver a nice powerful uppercut to the face. Followed by a series of either kicks, punches, or electric shocks that took the Gordanian she was facing down. Even as she'd shrink again to move to her next target.

All those she faced never stood a fighting chance.

Beast Boy had stayed on Raven's shoulder in falcon form as she flew forward. Staying behind the shield she raised in front of them to block the energy shots coming at them. Now, because they had been together for a while now, they had also been training together so they could fight as a better unit. Developing strategies and combo moves they could use in a fight.

'Raven, battle plan 22B.' Beast Boy thought to Raven.

Raven nodded her head at him. Focused on holding the shield in front of them. But she still understood as it was one of his favorite plans to practice.

Beast Boy jumped off Raven's shoulder. Turning himself into an armadillo, and curling his body in on himself. Only exposing his hard outer shell to the world.

Raven's dark powers surrounded him. Before projecting him forward, like a baseball from a pitcher's hand. Right out from behind her shield.

It's target wasn't a glove, or a bat. Rather, Beast Boy flew right through the alien fire. His hard outer shell protecting his soft inner self from getting hit. True to the mark, he beaned a flying Gordanian in the face at 90 miles per hour.

Several teeth could be seen in slow motion. Flying out of the Gordanian's stunned mouth. As he flew backwards in the air and hit the ground hard.

Beast Boy landed on the ground. In the form of an adult twn ton raging bull elephant. In one moment, he instantly outweighed even the biggest of the Gordanians around him. So he used his size to his advantage. As he went on a rampage through the line of aliens to the left of Robin and Starfire. Drawing all the attention on the raging green animal in their midst. The Beast inside him screaming for blood.

Raven following him again from up above. Having a shield out in front of her to deflect alien fire. While reaching out with her powers to destroy the energy rifles and spears of the Gordanians. Also taking on the fliers around her who were trying to overpower her. And failing to break through her shield. Just like before.

And so the groups of heroes moved in their given directions. Cyborg and Bumblebee taking down those to the right of the group. Beast Boy and Raven taking on those to the left. And Robin and Starfire fighting right down the center. Taking out Gordanian, after Gordanian, after Nutella… just kidding, Gordanian.

The heroes cut down the huge battle hardened flying soldiers numbers. Making them look like a bunch of flailing fat mall cops. (No offense to any mall cops that read this)

Yet the leader that had looked to be leading the charge at first was nowhere in sight. Much to the displeasure of one of the heroes. As she angrily wondered where he was.

The leader of the army was far above the battle. Watching as the small group of six heroes single handedly took down some of the toughest battalions of soldiers he had in his army. A scowl was clearly seen on his face. This was taking longer than it should have. It wasn't very easy hiding a large cloaked fleet this close to Earth as it was. And if his subordinate from somewhere in the center of this continent was right, the Justice League was coming. They were still a couple of hours away. But if they didn't capture their target soon, he'd have to order them all to retreat.

Now his employers, the Citadel, weren't very patient people to begin with. So if they were to receive word that their plans were delayed again.

The fearless leader shuddered. Unconsciously grabbing his scaly neck to make sure his head was still on.

A subordinate flew up to him. The leader was quick to hide his moment of weakness. He had a reputation to uphold you know.

"Sir, the 120th and 121th Ground Forces are almost depleted of fighting soldiers. And the 156th and 157th Air Fighters can't seem to take down their own fliers. Although the small groups are divided now. Orders sir?"

The leader growled his response to his subordinate. "Dispatch the 145th, 32nd, and 69th divisions from their subs. Bring out five more of our flying battalions to attack from the air. And prepare the fighters to bring in the tanks."

The subordinate's scaly face paled a little at the last part. He was in charge of the tanks. "But sir, the tanks would be packed in down there! If these six supposed weaklings can plow through us like we don't even exist. How will the tanks be better able to match them without the room to maneuver around."

The leader glared at his subordinate as he replied. "We'll be setting them down on the shoreline over there. (Pointing towards the city) And have them attack the city these heroes protect. So we can separate the princess from their midst."

The subordinate seemed confused for a second. But then realized what he was being asked to do. A bloodthirsty grin starting to appear on his reptilian face. "Now that sir, is a mighty fine plan of yours? I'll gladly lead our tanks to battle on this puny city." He said, already feeling the blood lust starting to run through his veins.

The leader smiled. Now this was more of what he liked to see from his soldiers. "Only if you promise to leave no building standing. And show no mercy to the humans you face." He replied in a satisfied growl.

The underling saluted his leader. And then flew off to give out his orders. The leader went back to watching the battle down below. "You will be divided Titans. And then, you will fall. You will be mine again Princess of Tamaran."

Robin's fist connected with another alien face. A front flip back kick from his leg upending another from the ground. A flick of the wrist and an explosive disk brought down the last Gordanian behind him.

Starfire shot her eyebeams at her own fleeing target. Burning the back of his head as he fell and hit the ground hard. Down for the count as she let out a satisfied growl.

Bumblebee grew in size. Upper cutting the last Gordanian in front of her in the air with enough force to snap his head back as he flew. Landing among many others that laid on the surface of the water.

Cyborg retracted his sonic cannons as his last opponent laid on the ground in front of him. He was breathing in heavily as he made sure his opponent would remain down. Bumblebee flew down beside him. Checking to make sure everything was alright.

Raven's cloak opened up. Depositing her last pale opponent onto the ground where he laid shivering in fear. She had a very satisfied smirk on her face.

Garfield was in the form of a gorilla, breathing in and out heavily. A smashed Gordanian laid beneath his feet. He morphed back into himself.

"I didn't think there was even this many Space Geckos in existence." He pointed out, showing all the Gordanians lying on the ground. All in various states of health. All of it not very good.

Raven wiped a drop of sweat from her brow. Looking up as she did so. She let out a small groan. "I still can't teleport us into the Tower Gar. I can't tell where they might have the suppression field generator either. And I didn't see their leader take part in that attack."

Garfield let out a sigh. "Well, at least it looks like they're done attacking us."

Raven was still looking up. "Sorry to tell you this Gar, but that was only the first wave." She said, pointing up above them at the biggest ship she could see.

More Gordanians were pouring out of it. Getting into aerial formation as they prepared to fly down. It looked to be that there was over a thousand of them. With more still flying out of the ship. From the smaller ships, the two heroes could easily see the hordes of Gordanians in them getting ready to join the assault.

Garfield let out another small groan. "If we live through this, we are so taking that vacation. Battle plan 34c." And then he morphed into a massive green eagle. So massive, that his wingspan easily spread over twelve feet. Making plenty of room for a person to easily sit on his back behind his head.

And you know what, that is what Raven did. As she floated onto the majestic bird of prey. This was something they'd both been practicing on the repaired obstacle course in case they had to fight out in the open air. Garfield, with his large size, would easily do the offensive tactics. While Raven would be perched on his back. Helping to make sure his vulnerable areas were properly shielded. Meaning he could go on the attack without fear of anything major getting hit.

With a loud caw, he flew up into the air. Raven already working on shielding their approach.

Near Cyborg's area, he was busy standing still while his girlfriend was inside him… No, not in the way you might be thinking.

One of the shots had made a small hole in his armor. Which Bumblebee had went inside to make sure nothing important was damaged. He could also tell by the way his energy levels were rising that she was also charging him with her stingers.

After another moment, Bumblebee flew out of the small hole on his shoulder. "Well, I checked from every angle, and it doesn't look like anything can be harmed through that. I also took the liberty of recharging your old battery in there."

He smirked at her. "Thanks Bee. You sure know how to get me feeling good again. That's for sure."

Before she could respond, they heard their teammate caw rather loudly. They both looked over and saw Garfield and Raven flying up towards a growing group of Gordanians in the air.

"Are they insane! That group looks twice as big as the one we just faced! And they're doing it alone!" Cyborg shouted.

Before he could even think of a way that he and Bumblebee could help, he and Bumblebee suddenly heard a big rumble coming from the ocean. Both of them looked to see what was making the noise. Three rather large underwater subs came up out of the water. Their colors were a mix of green and dark blue. Making them able to blend in underwater perfectly for their approach. Even though they were longer than a football field. And about fifteen feet in height.

The backs of these subs opened. The doors acting as platforms onto the island. Even before they finished opening, Gordanians were pouring out of them. Charging up the beach towards the two heroes. Like the Americans on Omaha Beach, except it wasn't to liberate a continent from a ruthless dictator this time.

Cyborg shouted an expletive. "Come on Bee! Let's deal with these 'bleep'ers! Then we'll try and think of a way to save their butts!" He said before his sonic cannons came out again. As he started firing at the approaching horde of aliens.

"Language Sparky." Bumblebee said jokingly. Before she joined in on firing at the Gordanians with her stingers.

Robin and Starfire saw both of the fights starting to happen around them. And were split on who they should help out. Starfire wanted to go into the air to protect her two best friends, along with something else that she was unwilling to share. While Robin wanted to stay on the ground. As he wouldn't be able to protect Star if they were both in the air.

There arguing only lasted a small moment though. When their problem was solved in the form of several groups of Gordanian fighters. Each one carrying tanks underneath them by the use of magnetic locks. The fighters flew over the island away from the two battles out towards the city.

"Star, we need to protect the civilians in the city. The others will just have to fend for themselves for now." Robin said to her.

She looked like she wanted to argue with him. As if there was some huge reason as to why she needed to stay there But then simply nodded her head coldly to Robin, as she grabbed him by the hand and flew up into the air after the speeding fighters. Already using her free hand to fire starbolts at them from behind.

Even though they were facing what looked to be over a thousand by themselves while in the air. With the numbers still trying to grow. It was safe to say that Beast Boy and Raven were creaming the air fighters.

With Raven shielding his approach with her black magic, he was easily able to make the fight up close and personal for the Gordanians. Who were more used to firing from a long range than fighting with their weapons up close. Meaning combat wise, all those around the changeling were put at a severe disadvantage.

Garfield used the massive talons on the end of his feet to slice through weapons, armor, and reptilian skin alike. The Gordanian soldiers return blows usually hitting either one of Raven's shields, or a thick patch of skin on his body. Doing hardly anything other than enraging the Beast inside him even more.

With his massive thick wings, he was easily able to hit many Gordanians out of the air towards the water below. The Beast was also helping to reinforce the skin on his wings. Making two less areas on his body that Raven didn't have to worry about shielding.

Raven allowed Garfield to do all the offensive work as the strategy entailed. As she worked on helping to keep both of them shielded from both the long range energy fire, and the up close spears and fists.

Without Raven having to float, and because of the Beast reinforcing certain areas of Garfield's body, it was a lot easier for her to keep her focus. Sometimes, she even managed now and then to take out a couple of the Gordanians herself. But most of her efforts and energy were still focused on keeping the two of them protected from the ever growing horde of aliens.

While things might have been going good for Raven and Garfield at first, things weren't really going so swimmingly for Cyborg and Bumblebee.

Cyborg was down to one sonic cannon now. A Gordanian spear sticking out of his left arm making it pretty obvious as to why he was only using one. As he had missed a Gordanian that had gotten too close.

Still, he was using his one lone sonic cannon to the best of his abilities. Even managing to somehow sink one of the subs when a stray shot missed his target and hit something important on the sub. Causing it to sink into the water. It didn't help that he didn't see what he hit though. Mainly because he still had about eight hundred or so Gordanians to deal with in front of him.

Bumblebee had flown out and up above the crowd a little before Cyborg had sunk the first sub. Using her small size to easily take down Gordanians from above while dodging their return fire. She would dive bomb into their midst now and then to take out a few Gordanians. And get their attention back on her so they wouldn't overwhelm Cyborg.

Although it didn't really help when after the last two subs had been unloaded, turrets had opened up from the top. All of which had started to shoot at her small flying form.

Meanwhile, three ships now laid smoking on the surface of the bay. A fourth one on the edge of the bay on the Jump City shoreline. While the fight had continued on into and above Jump City's streets. The civilians in the area, having seen the fight unfold out over the bay, had wisely evacuated part of the city already. And the area the fight was currently in resembled that of a ghost town.

Starfire was flying high up in the air. Using the tall skyscrapers around her to her advantage. After the tanks had been quickly dropped onto the ground in the city, the fighters and their pilots had quickly turned around to attack Starfire. Only, because of all the skyscrapers around them, their field of vision had been quite limited. As Starfire had endless places she could come out from to surprise more than a few.

Like now, she was using her massive alien strength to throw the fighter she'd grabbed, along with its frightened occupant, into the street down far below. Even before it hit the ground, she was already flying around a skyscraper. Sneaking up on another fighter.

The fighter struck the ground next to a tank Robin had been trying to destroy. Caught off guard, the Gordanian crew inside it had been distracted for a moment. And that had been all the time Robin had needed before he saw the same thing Hot Spot had seen on them before. With precise aim, he had thrown an explosive disk at it. And backflipped away as the whole tank erupted in a fiery explosion.

After the smoke cleared, there was nothing but a small crater where it had been. Apparently, the fuel was far more explosive than that used on Earth. Robin was quick to note in his mind. As he took out another explosive disk from his belt, and started running towards a group of tanks farther in the city. Led by a rather large Gordanian who was firing at everything around him. Leaving a trail of fiery destruction in his path.

The Gordanian leader was still hovering far above the battle in his golden armor. Although now he was smiling at seeing the group of heroes divide themselves so easily.

He was slightly worried at seeing the amount of soldiers he had dropping out of the sky from one pair, but the ships around the two were now unloading massive waves of soldiers. Unless they happened to be disguised as Superman and Wonder Woman, they'd be overwhelmed by the waves of soldiers coming their way.

On the ground, he was far less worried about the outcome there. As he could already see the robot had been critically injured and that it would only be a matter of time before he fell to the hordes of soldiers down there. While it looked like the pesky flying bug was trying to avoid having her wings blasted out of the sky. They would both soon fall as well.

Out towards the city, he could easily see the trail of destruction his subordinate had left for their leader to follow. Although he was slightly disappointed that the fighters had dropped the tanks in the part of the city that had been evacuated. Although at their current pace, they'd soon be at the heals of the innocent civilians. Sometimes, a good day for a Gordanian was when a bunch of people were killed for no reason other than sport.

And then he saw the alien princess, facing off against the last two fighters in the air above the city. Almost at about the height he was hovering.

He had isolated the princess at last.

Starfire shot down one fighter with her eyebeams. Avoided the energy blast from the other one. Before she quickly flew in and punched through the cockpit window. Knocking out the pilot who slumped onto the controls. Making the ship veer down and crash into the city.

She looked down towards the ground. Seeing Robin avoiding the fire from the tanks as he closed in on them. She was about to fly down to help him out when she heard a blood curdling laugh behind her.

The first being the first invasion of Tamaran. When she had hid inside an air duct in the palace. And watched as a big scaly creature covered in gold scales eviscerated her parents. Laughing maniacally as he did so.

The second being when she had been a slave on his ship. When he had whispered through the doorway all the things he would do to her before he handed her over to the Citadel. And then walked away laughing that evil laugh.

And now she was hearing it again. A laugh that spoke of absolute evil and madness. Slowly, she turned around, to face the creature she'd been wanting to kill ever since she saw him standing in the Tower. The leader of the Gordanians, dressed up in golden armor.

"Lord Trogaar, I hope that your soldiers came prepared for the Gordanian funeral rites." Starfire said coldly to the infamous general of the Tamaranean invasion.

His grin showed all his sharpened teeth. "I'm afraid not princess. But don't worry yourself over that princess. I have no intention of dying here today."

She growled. Seriously, it sounded even scarier than the time when she had been trying to escape her handcuffs when she first met the Titans. "If you hadn't planned on dying, why did you come to face me alone! After all that you've done to me in the past!"

He didn't answer. He just simply let out a high pitched whistle. One that made her cover her ears briefly out of pain.

Suddenly, a bunch of ships that couldn't be seen before decloaked themselves. All of them surrounding the pair. All of which had their cannons trained on the alien princess.

"It's quite simple, actually. I expect you to come quietly with me this time. So I can deliver you to your captors properly." The leader said with glee in his voice. While Starfire stared horrified all around her. At what seemed to be an invasion fleet.

Author's Notes
