Fan Fiction ❯ A Raven's Feelings ❯ Rakatsu's Kidnap Attempt ( Chapter 10 )

Ch. 10: Rakatsu's Kidnap Attempt
Time: Dawn
The whole tower was very quiet. Everyone was still sleeping… well most of them anyway.
Robin did a 360 in his sleep, kicking his pillow off the bed. (I do not own that 360 saying) Cyborg still charging his batteries for the upcoming day. Beastboy hugged his small little monkey toy and talked in his sleep, “Mommy, I need my blankey to play superhero again. I need to beat those meanie bad guys!” Starfire was sleeping under her bed and sneezed. Dustbunnies kept bugging her nose. And finally, the sad gothic girl stirred in her sleep as another dream started to bug her. All of sudden, someone screamed and a somewhat earthquake started.
Another scream was heard.
Robin and Raven sat up quickly. Cyborg stood too quickly causing his cable to break. Beastboy fell off his bed and Starfire hit her head. (It doesn’t make sense but still…) Everyone gather around Robin’s room as another earthquake erupted. “What’s happening?!” Raven asked them, the last one to come. “I don’t know. It’s not an attack that’s for sure.” Robin theorized.
“Ah! You pervert! Get back here!” someone shouted.
"I'm sorry! Damn!"
Skai came running down the hallway as flashes of lightning flew past him. Eri was chasing after him shouting, "You pervert! You didn't change a bit!" The flashes of lightning came from the tips of Eri's fingers, which caused another earthquake. The titans noticed that she was only wearing a towel and water dripped from her hair.
"Ok...." Beastboy said to break the silence.
After a few moments, they went after them. A few minutes later, they found Skai tied up near Eri's temporary room. "What has happened?" Starfire said as they untied Skai.
"Yeah, and how did Eri create those lightning do-hickies?"
"It should be easy even for your little brain to compromise, it's magic."
Robin looked at Skai and noticed the big red mark on his face. He just shook his head. As Skai was about to say something, Eri came out of her room fully dressed. "I'll tell you what happened." Eri went in front Skai and then pinched his cheeks pulling them far apart. "This pervert saw me naked!" Beastboy and Cyborg held their laughter as she stretched his face wider.
"Ow! Let go! All I did was walk in to see if you were ok!"
"In 5 in the morning?"
"I heard Eri scream. Ow! Stop it! I'm sorry!"
"I screamed so sue me? The water was cold ok? But that doesn’t change the fact that you're still a pervert!"
"Woohoo! I never thought you of all people to be a pervert."
"I have honor! I will not stoop as low as that to see a woman naked especially yours!"
"What?! You're saying I'm not pretty?! That I can't get a man because I don't have a great body?!"
"OW!!! THAT IS NOT WHAT I MEANT!!!"
Alarms went off which scared Eri out of her wits. She had let go of his cheeks but fell onto his chest. Raven could feel herself becoming jealous again. Skai saw this and pushed Eri off of himself. "Damn! Why couldn't bad guys commit a crime around, I don't know, 1 o' clock this afternoon?!" complained the irritated Beastboy.
Location: Downtown, Jump City; on top of a 50-story building called "Wayne's Co."
Jinx and her little minions were stirring up some trouble. Their fun had ended when the titans arrived. "Look, the asswipes are here!" Gizmo insulted them. Jinx looked at them and laughed, "Well another wanna-be titan is with them. Alright, you know what to do." Mammoth nodded and threw a small red ball with a piece of paper attached to it. The titans took a defensive position as the red ball turned into a replica of Robin.
"What the hell? Titans! Stay on guard!"
For a few minutes the red Robin didn’t do anything. Mammoth threw a few more and it created all of the titans except for Eri. When Skai had realized what it was, it was too late. The red Skai had consumed him. “No!” Raven shouted as she tried to pull it off. It began to attach to her and her double had joined in. “Raven! Skai!” Beastboy was about to help them when his other tried to devour him. Several knives (you know who threw this) that had a small paper on it hit the red Beastboy.
Suddenly it had lit a fire and the red blob melted revealing the unconscious yet real Beastboy. “What was that?!” Robin asked Eri. “It’s a shinku-dami! It transforms into anyone and anything but it is sensitive to-" She was interrupted by Gizmo who had heat seekers on her. "Eat this you snitching poser!" Jinx and Mammoth started to attack Cyborg and Starfire while Robin was busy trying to help Skai and Raven.
Robin tried everything he could think of but failed to set his friends free. "Hold on you guys!" The red blob suddenly caught fire from an unknown source. He stepped back as the fire raged on until the red completely melted away. There stood Skai panting heavily as he held onto the unconscious Raven. His hands were consumed by fire and faded away leaving no burns on his hands or on Raven.
"Are you ok?!" Robin asked. As he approached them, Slade appeared out of nowhere and surprised the boy wonder with a kick on the face. Robin tried to recooperate what had happened but Salde just came at him with several more attacks. Skai was too weak to stand up and help fight let alone leave Raven's side. "My, my Skai. Aren't we trying to be the hero who just saved the damsel in distressed...." said the voice behind him.
"Are you hoping to get a kiss once the sleeping beauty has awoken from her sleep?"
Skai turned around to find Rakatsu staring down on him. "You bastard!" Skai spat at him. Rakatsu just waved his finger at him, "Such a bad mouth you have there, Skai... Oh and you should know better than to let your guard down..." Jinx knocked him out with one hit and Rakatsu caught him in his arms along with Raven. Jinx smiled, "He looks so much cuter when he's sleeping..."
Meanwhile, the others were still getting their asses kicked, Eri noticed that Rakatsu was taking off with Skai and Raven. "NO!!" She tried to go after them but was hit with a laser from Gizmo. When the titans realized it, Jinx, Mammoth, and Gizmo began to retreat. Slade looked at Robin in disgust, "What have you been doing, Robin while I was away???" He disappeared with the others leaving Robin shouting out to nothing but air, "SLADE, YOU BASTARD!!! GIVE US BACK OUR FRIENDS AND FIGHT ME!!!"
Few hours later back at the tower....
Robin walked back and forth trying to think of a way to get Raven and Skai back and safe. But how? "Dude stop! My heads beginning to hurt from all that walking!" Beastboy said already awoken from his sleep. "Yes, Robin. Please calm yourself. We will surely get Raven and Skai back somehow." "Yeah, its not like their civilians. Skai is pretty good with gadgets so have some fate." Cyborg added. Eri, however, was busy waiting for something or someone on the tower roof. "Damn... He's late..." Someone silently appeared behind her with a horny smile on his face. "BOO!"
"AAAAHHHHHHHH!!!"
The titans heard the scream and headed to the roof. As they reached the door, they heard a slap and Eri shouting, "Everywhere I turn, I'm surrounded by perverts!!!" "What's wron- Er...i?" Cyborg's words had faded as they stared at another new comer. And why are they always coming from Heliopolis???
Location: Somewhere unknown
Skai woke up in an eerie small damp cell. He looked around to see nothing but darkness. No windows, no air ducs, nothing but a steel door. Possibly booby trapped. He felt someone breathing on his neck and found Raven still sleeping beside him. She was sweating in her sleep and became very tense. Another nightmare... She kept moving closer to him which Skai felt so uncomfortable with. But he didn't do anything to stop her, he just put his arms around her and held on tight. She relaxed a little bit as he laid his head on top of hers. "The others will come, Raven. But for now, I'll be your protector and always be there for you...." he whispered into her ears.
