Hello boys and girls and welcome to the first chapter of The New Teen Titans. As you can tell from the summary this is the not-so-long awaited sequel to Teen Titan Pregnancies. I know I said that I was going to do some other stuff first and I was going to, but this story has been bugging me. Ok well I don't have much to say because this is just chapter one but I do call the original Titans by their real names so for reference; Beast Boy is Gar, Nightwing is Dick, Starfire is Kory, Cyborg is Vic and Raven is Raven of course. Ok so now I ask you to please review and that you enjoy chapter one of The New Teen Titans.

Chapter 1: First Strike

In the middle of a huge field, hundreds of miles away from any town or city, a never ending battle was raging on. It had been going on for years now and no one really knew how it was started. Not even the two sides knew for sure, though they didn't care, all they knew was that they wouldn't give up and that it would probably go on for many more years. Right now though it was just starting to heat up.

"I'm not!"

"Are too!"

"I'm not!"

"Are too!"

"I am not a two-bit witch," yelled a fifteen year old girl with indigo hair that hung gently down to her shoulders. She was tall and skinny though not bony, she had curves though she hid them under baggy clothes. She was pale but she was more then that, her skin was actually grey. There was also a green to it but that was almost gone along with most of the colour in her face. Even though it was a bright sunny day she wore a baggy black hooded sweater with the hood up and a matching pair of baggy black jeans. She had gentle features and was very beautiful, though she tried to hide it under that hood. "Besides Mark, you're just a genetically altered freak," she finished.

"Yeah Em! Well you're just as much as a freak as me," Mark said, "probably more." Mark was the same height and age as Em and he had the same colour hair, though his was much shorter. It was messed up and held in place with gel on his head. His skin was the same grey colour as Em's as well but the green was more brought out in him. He only wore a simple green t-shirt and a pair of jeans as appose to Em's all black outfit. He was muscular but not at all buff and he was handsome in a boyish sense. Judging by his features and all the other factors he and Em were most definitely twins and the eyes proved it. One was purple and one was green.

"Well I bet you can't do this," Em said as she flicked out her hand and a small bird made of black magic flew out of them. It gracefully flew over and landed on her brother's head and pecked it a few times before disappearing as Em crossed her arms and stuck out her tongue at her brother.

"Yeah Emily," Mark said as he used her full name, as he only did in fights, "I bet I can." He then flicked out his hands just as she had done but only black sparks came out. Em began to chuckle and then laugh as Mark kept trying over and over with the same result. "Fine," Mark yelled after getting so frustrated that he quit, "but I bet you can't do this." Mark then with a burst of black magic turned into a grey-greenish elephant and trumpeted before turning back to normal.

"Just watch me," Em said as she began to try an will herself into an elephant. For a second Mark thought she may do it but then he began to laugh at the face she made after so many minutes. He soon stopped laughing as there was a burst of black magic around Em but when the dust cleared he began to laugh hysterically. Em had succeeded in only turning her head and arms into that of an elephant's. Mark bent over laughing as Em whipped out her trunk and began to strangle him.

"What do you two think your doing?" came a voice that stopped both of them dead, with Em's trunk still around Mark's neck and his hands still in the position of trying to get it off. It was their dad with a very seldom seen stern look on his face and their mom with her regular one on.

Time had treated both Garfield and Raven Logan well as they were just entering their thirties. Raven was still a beautifully woman and Gar had became a very handsome man.

Raven sighed as she touched her daughter's shoulder and caused the trunk that was chocking her son to disappear as black magic flowed from Em into Raven. "You have to control your powers Emily," Raven said as she was the only one who could use her full name.

"But Mom, nothing broke," Em said as she knew she always got into trouble for not controlling her emotions.

"What are you talking about? We followed the broken glass here," Gar said as he pointed behind him at a shattered window.

"Oh Dad, I'm so sorry," Em said as she realised she had broken quite a few windows.

"That's why we have a closet full of windowpanes and light bulbs," Raven said as she put up the hood on the cloak she still wore. "Come, its time for training," she said as she began to walk towards the house, Em put up her hood and followed with her head down.

"Home school training or superpower training?" Mark asked as he hoped it was the later.

"What do you think?" Gar said with a glint in his eye that Mark instantly recognised, "race you to The Tree." Gar then turned into a dog and began to run down the field as Mark turned into a hawk and quickly caught up. None of them knew that not too far away, robotic eyes watched them.

The Tree as Gar had called it was a huge tree that he had brought back from Africa when Mark and Em were six. It stood out quite a lot on the open field where the Logan's lived and was Gar and Mark's favourite place to go. It was also where Gar had been training Mark to use his powers ever since he brought it back all those years ago.

Gar beat Mark to The Tree and reached up and snapped off a branch as Mark landed and turned back to normal. "Today we're going to be doing transformations," Gar said as he twirled the stick in his hand.

"Come on, I've been transforming since I was a baby," Mark said as he pretended to yawn.

"But can you do this?" Gar asked as he transformed into a gorilla still holding the stick and then into a dog with it in his mouth, then to a seal balancing it on his nose and finally to an elephant holding it with its trunk. He turned back into a human and tossed the stick to his son who fumbled it slightly but caught it.

"Just watch me," Mark said as he turned into a gorilla with ease before turning into a dog but the stick didn't move to his mouth but stayed in his paw. With no thumb he fumbled the stick and it went up into the air and landed on his head before hitting the ground. "Ow that hurt," Mark said as he tuned back to normal.

"See, you got to control what part of your body turns into what," Gar said as he tapped on his son's sore head, "if that was a bomb and not a stick then you'd have more then a sore head."

"But how am I suppose to do that?" Mark said as he was puzzled as to how his dad turned his hand into a mouth.

"Practice," Gar said simple, "but first lets get the rest of the lesson out of the way so I can just enjoy you fumbling around with this stick." Gar laughed as he shoved the stick into the ground next to his feet. "Ok now because of how your powers are different from mine you can change just one part of your body at once or give yourself a part of another animal. So please turn your arm into a snake."

"Ok I'll try," Mark said as he nodded his head, there was a burst of black magic only this time it was just around his arm and when it cleared his arm was a snake. Although the head of the snake was limp and dead.

"You have to take a portion of your brain and put it into the snake," Gar said as he tried to teach his son everything he knew. Mark nodded and tried to focus and after a minute the snake hissed loudly as it snapped to life. "Great Mark now-" Gar cut himself off as he noticed the blank look on his son's face and how some drool was coming out of his mouth. "I said a portion Mark," Gar said as the snake head lowered slightly. "Ok turn back and for God's sake make sure the brain goes back in your head."

Mark turned his arm back into an arm and put his brain back into his head. "Let me guess, practice?" Mark said as Gar nodded his head.

Meanwhile back at the house Em was trying to focus on meditating as loud classical music boomed in her head. She was in The Study trying to meditate next to her mother but was failing.

The Study was the room in which Raven and Em meditated and where they had been doing so for Em's entire life. One side of the room was occupied by a large bookcase full of books and tomes and a few comics since Raven shared it with Gar. On the wall across from that was a huge window and on the floor was a mat. There were two tables one with a lamp next to a chair for reading and the other with a stereo that the music came from.

"I can't do this Mom it's too loud," Em said as she stood up frustrated. The window cracked a little and Em instantly calmed down, as was the purpose of the window.

"You have obviously never heard your father and your uncle Vic play video games," Raven said as she turned off the stereo with her powers. "lets try some words," Raven said as she stood out of her meditating position.

"Words?" Em questioned.

"Yes like the ones I use. Watch," Raven said her three magic words, "Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" The bookcase then floated a little before Raven placed it down gently.

"Ok I get it," Em said as she put out her hands, "Azarath Metrion Zinthos?" the bookcase didn't move but a book did become engulfed in black magic making Em smile. She stopped when the book flew off the shelf and hit her in the face, sending her to the ground.

"You have to pick words that matter to you," Raven said as she helped her daughter up.

"How?" Em asked as she rubbed her nose.

"Well for example Azarath is where I'm from, Metrion is my Azarathean name and Zinthos was my first pet," Raven explained her choice of magic words.

"Ok I see," Em said as she put out her hands again, "California Emily Mister Whiskers," Another book flew off the case and Em just narrowly dodged it. "At least it missed me this time," Em said as she smiled slightly.

"Try using your middle name, Arella, it has magical meaning," Raven suggested and she was about to make another suggestion when two huge robots burst threw the window. They were easily two times the height of Em and her mother and looked like hunched over humans only most of their robotic parts were showing. Their shoulders were huge cogs that spun as their arms moved. Their arms were long and stretched down to their legs where their huge robotic hands dragged across the ground. Their face was a mask with no eye holes with one side being black and the other side being orange.

"Mom?" Em said as one of the robots stuck out its arm towards Raven as a large red orb in the centre of its palm began to glow.

"Emily, Run!" Raven said as her eyes began to glow and she lifted up into the air. Raven was hit by the blast of energy from the robots hand and was sent flying backwards making Em scream so loud it was heard all the way out at The Tree.

"That was Emily!" Gar said as he looked towards the house. "Mark, stay here," Gar said very seriously as he took off towards the house.

"Like that will ever happen," Mark said as he too raced towards the house. He got there right in time to see The Study completely destroyed with the book case knocked over and Raven lying with her legs pinned under it. "Mom!" Mark shouted as he got the attention of both his dad and the robot he was fighting.

"Mark look out," Gar shouted but it was too late as the other robot had come up behind him and knocked Mark out as the one Gar was fighting did the same to him. Mark stayed awake long enough to see the robots pick up both his mom and dad and sling them other their shoulders before walking away.

"Mark, Mark!" Em screamed as she shook her brother who soon regained consciousness.

"Em?" Mark said as he rubbed his eyes, "oh my God where's Mom and Dad?" Mark asked as he remembered what happened. He began to go into hysterics as he panicked and cried and began to mutter about what they should do.

"Mark control your emotions," Em said as she tried to calm her brother down.

"I don't need to control my emotions," Mark yelled as he began to get angry at his sister for being so calm.

"Look," Em said as she pointed to the now floating bookcase. Mark's eyes grew wide as the bookcase fell to the ground.

"How did I…" Mark said as he looked down at his hands.

"Listen Mark we have to get someone, maybe one of Mom and Dad's old friends," Em said as she looked out the broken window. "Lets try Uncle Dick's and Aunt Kory's first."

"But Em who was it that took them?" Mark asked as he looked over at his sister as a tear rolled down her cheek.

"I don't know."

Meanwhile somewhere far away in a deep under ground lair Raven and Gar hung unconscious on a wall. One of the robots that had captured them was typing on a computer as the other one watched them. The robot turned its head with a robotic sound and made some sort of crackling sound making the other nod. A scanner dropped from the ceiling and the robot aimed it at Raven. It scanned her and a huge NEGATIVE flashed on the screen. He then tried Gar with the same NEGATIVE.

On the screen came the message, "other possible targets," it was followed by three picture of Nightwing, Starfire and Cyborg. Both the robots nodded and were soon out the door on their way to their next objective.
