Cyborg and Beast Boy stare into he dark man's eyes, which are illuminated more than anything else in the hall.
 
The man is calm. He doesn't find this a serious threat, and begins to walk back to the other men.
 
“Where're you goin'?” Cyborg asks the man.
 
“I was returning to my comrades. It seems you two fighting me is already futile, and thus, I will spare you the humiliation of dying to a mere pawn,” He groans, not noticing that now he has free speech.
 
“Asshole…” Beast Boy lunges at him, turning into a horse, and is stopped by a single finger.
 
“Yawn,” the man says, tossing him across the hall.
 
“Oh yeah? EAT THIS!” Cyborg screams, turning on his spotlight, and flashing the man with it. He begins to burn and steam rises from his body, as he struggles to hold form.
 
He walks against the light with extreme difficulty, and reaches Cyborg, and unplugs it from his battery.
 
“Now, isn't that better?” it says, kneeing him in the groin.
 
“GAK!” Cyborg screams, as he falls to the ground.
 
“DUDE!” Beast Boy screams as he transforms into the beast. Upon sight of this, the man bows to it, and Beast Boy scratches his head in confusion. He then charges at the lackey, and knocks him a distance away.
 
“My mistake, you are not the master… I forgot that he no longer was manipulating you…” he smiles, and puts his hand into the floor, and it pops up behind Beast Boy, and punches him in the back of the neck.
 
Cyborg stands up, and charges at the man, who stands back facing him. He turns just to see Cyborg's sonic cannon blast through his face, and Cyborg slam into his body.
 
The man falls to the ground and screams, gripping the sides of the hole in his face, with a bloodcurdling scream, and what sounds like cries for his mommy, and master.
 
“What the hell?” Beast Boy approaches the body that is curled into a fetal position, and pokes it's chest, and it screams. His finger went through the layer of dark matter, and hit the man's heart. “What is this guy!?” he asks wiping blood off of his finger.
 
The man removes his hands from his face, revealing a hole going through his head. You can clearly see his brain, and parts of his skull. It looks like a picture of the anatomy of a human skull.
 
The hole begins to heal, as the dark matter spreads over the wound, looking as if the man was wearing mesh over the hole. Then you clearly can see that the flesh under heals, and makes it look as if nothing happened at all.
 
“BB, that's it!” Cyborg says, and Beast Boy only now takes in what the man said about the beast.
 
He is working for the man who controlled him.
 
Beast Boy transforms into a new beast. This time, it looks like a cross between Beast Boy, and a dragon. He charges at the man, who doesn't even flinch, and rams a claw trough his chest.
 
He picks up the man with the claw, and throws him into a wall, and he cracks it slightly. Cyborg turns on the lights to a lighter dimmer, just enough that the man cannot disappear.
 
The man smiles, and looks at him. The smile, somehow, can be seen even though it looks like his dark matter makes it look like he has a solid layer of skin. “You found it out… I guess I need some help…” he puts his hand on the floor, and begins to chant.
 
“What the…?” Cyborg says, as a pillar of darkness surrounds the opponent, and he begins to get more demonic looking. His dark matter skin becomes an aura-like mist surrounding him, and his looks more resemble a dark night, rather than a man with pitch-black skin. One arm looks as if it has been impaled with many spikes. He smiles again, this time, the smile cannot be seen at all, but assumed because that's how Cyborg and Beast Boy see what he would do in the situation.
 
The man now draws a small sword from his arm, and clutches it in his hand. The handle then morphs and merges with his closed hand, making it look like the hand is one solid ball, and that the sword is a natural appendage. He runs at an incredible speed at Beast Boy, and his blade clashes with Beast Boy's claw.
 
They have a power struggle, and the man kicks out of it. Cyborg starts to go through his mainframe to see what weapons he can use to counter this. He smiles, and he takes out a small floppy disc.
 
The floppy disc says “Beta Energy Sword,” stating that he has never used it before now. He plugs it into his head, and his metal shifts to a knight-like armor as well, and his cannon blasts out a sword of sonic energy, the same as his blast, except so concentrated that it feels as if it is solid.
 
Meanwhile, Beast Boy isn't doing so well. He has cuts all over his arms, and transforms back to his human form. The man lifts his sword over his head to do a finishing blow, and Cyborg runs, and kneels over his green friend, catching the sword with his own.
 
They clash, and Cyborg reverses the stances, putting the intruder in the lower position. Cyborg puts his other arm up, and prepares a sonic blast, and the man, surprisingly, does the same. They blast, and are propelled back as black shadow hits bright blue energy. One of the man's spikes breaks off as he hits the ground. He gets up, and charges at, the once again standing, Cyborg.
 
Now, Beast Boy wakes up, and clutches his wounds. He notices that now, he is behind the man, who is clashing with the Knight Cyborg. He also sees one of the man's spikes is on the ground. He picks it up, and imagines what he could do with it.
 
He could nail it into his neck like a steak… no it would only merge with him again… He could turn it into an Axe! No, it wouldn't do much.
 
“ERR!” he grunts in frustration, and slams it into his forehead. It then begins to surround him, and he becomes completely black like the man. HE looks down, and starts to scream, but stops himself so the man doesn't hear… He has an advantage…
 
`New powers and a surprise…' he thinks, concentrating, and turning his arm into a sword. He then morphs into a senator, and gallops toward the opponent.
 
Cyborg is cornered. He has fallen, and the man holds his blade to his face, like a samurai. He is about to raise it above his head, but stopped with it between his eyes.
 
“Now, in the name of my master, I shall kill you…” he says, and a dark figure races behind him, “LONG LIVE S-“
 
Beast Boy passes, holding his sword out, slicing his head off, and breaking the man's blade. The shard of the blade hits the ground right beside Cyborg's face. Beast boy stops, and sighs, transforming back. Meanwhile, the dark matter on the man's body begins to sink into the ground, and leave his body, leaving only a skeleton with the second robber's clothes on, behind.
 
“HOLY SHIT!” Cyborg screams, looking at Beast Boy.
 
“Revenge…” he gasps.
 
“How'd you do that?” Cyborg asks.
 
“I just slammed the guy's horn into my head in frustration, and it turned me into that…”
 
“We need to get you to the medical wing…”
 
“We NEED to help the others!” Beast Boy says walking down the hall. “Don't worry, I won't use that again.” He says, “It was creepy… I heard a voice yelling at me to get rid of the powers, and I felt like I was trapped in the dark… And I heard someone say…”
 
“Say what?”
 
“Shade.”
