Special School 6 `Triple X'

 

It was finally the Friday, gate way to the weekend, the days the titans were allowed to go home. Raven had had holocaust round to give him a tour of the Titans Tower and was surprised at how long she spent looking at Robin's Computer Schematics which he found `Terribly interesting'. On Friday night after about an hour of what ever the Titans get up to when there not fighting bad guys and saying awful puns there was an signal from the city scanner computer;

“What is it Robin?” asked Starfire

“Red X is attacking a bank warehouse! Titans Move!”

The Titans arrived on the scene to see the door had been shot through with several X shaped attacks. Cyborg destroyed the remains of the door.

“Red X you're under arrest!” shouted Robin.

“Oh come on kid, you really think I'm gonna come quietly?”

“Fine then I'll make you come with noise! Sonic cannon!” shouted Cyborg as the cyan colored shot fired from the cannon

Red X avoided it and threw 5 x-shaped shruikens 1 aimed at each titan, he then fired an x-shaped sticky thing at raven as she was about to finish saying an incantation, he drew a gun and fired several red `shots' with it, before spinning it on his finger and placing it in his holster, beast boy charged at him in the form of a Bull but Red X merely jumped on him and threw a shruiken in his back before jumping off him, he ran for the exit but Starfire fired a starbolt at him, knocking him over, he used an x-shaped blast from his hand knocking Starfire out of flight.

“Well, it's been fun playing kids, I guess ill see you at school, hahaha”

Then a voice came from the roof that sounded a lot like Red X's.

“Want a Challenge?” then an X-shaped blast shot through the roof and hit the floor and a figure crashed through behind it, it was…Red X?

“Red X?” shouted Red X

“Indeed” said the second Red X

(I'll call the red X from `X' Red X1 and the new one Red X2 to stop confusion)

Red X2 shot several shruikens at Red X1 and fired an X-blast, a shruiken hit Red X1 in the Foot, who then moaned from pain, however he was able to avoid the X- blast, he then drew his pistol and held down the trigger for several minutes, Red X2 hid behind a crate but that eventually smashed and he didn't move fast enough and got hit in the back, he avoided the rest of the shots and jumped down behind some crates while Red X1 threw plasma grenades at the crates Red X2 jumped up and fired several shots and used some kind of cyan colored blast at Red X1 who then responded by hiding behind an iron girder.

“Here Red X, here Mr. Professional Thief! Come now not hiding already are you?” The Second Red X Taunted as the Titans lay almost helpless observing the proceedings.

“Who are you?” shouted Red X1

“If I wanted you to know that then I wouldn't wear a mask”

Then Red X1 shot a hail bullets which narrowly missed Red X2, who violently responded by throwing plasma grenade of his own at the iron girder, causing heavy damage to the structure. Mean while the titans talked quietly.

“Guys, I think we should get out of here!” said Robin

“Why?” asked Raven

“Because at rate these two lunatics fight, the building will have collapsed in a few minutes” said Cyborg

The titans crawled out of the building as the two Red X's fought like maniacs despite the building crumbling around them. Eventually the titans were able to stand but before they did the building had collapsed.

“Robin, do you think that Red X is gone?”

“Which one?” Asked Cyborg.

“Whoa, whoa, whoa!” shouted Beast Boy “So you're telling me there's a Red X, who's impersonating a Red X that isn't the original Red X?” said Beast Boy as his eyes swirled around.

“So if Robin, was the first Red X, Nighthawk, Larry and Robin, then how the hell does this work?” shouted Cyborg

“There is a large bunch of quite substantial but quite complicated explanations for this” said Raven in her Monotone

“Oh yeah what could they be then?” said Beast Boy

“Well number one is that they are both Robin…But from different dimensions, I mean of all the dimension changing that's happened they could have slipped through, the next back is that they both came through of no coincidence and came after each other… or maybe Red X is a real thief and isn't robin and never was in one or two parallel universes, who knows? The next quite simple explanation is there both just thieves but that makes more questions than answers such as where did another Red X suit come from? And why would some go to all the trouble of making an exact duplicate Red X suit? What's the point, why not change the exterior? And if it is some guy in a new Red X suit how would some one get the schematics? And finally where did Red X, the first one, excluding robin, get a new belt and some xenothium?”

Beast Boy's eyes span around his head at the complexity of what Raven just said.

“One thing that's bothering me most of all…” said Robin

“What's that?” Asked Cyborg

“That blue blast that the second Red X used…”

“Yeah?” asked Beast Boy

“It's not something I put in the Red X suit…”

“Then it is possible that the new Red X made some additions to the suit?” said Starfire

“Yes, but…”

“But what?! Spit it out dude!” shouted Beast Boy

“It would be Red if it was powered by xenothium, and there's no way he could have powered the Teleport and the rest of his attacks with out xenothium, like the xenothium gun, the only way he can power that is if its 50cms or closer to the suit.”

“So, you're saying this guy has powers?” said Raven

“Yeah, and using that was a big mistake”

“Umm why?”

“Because the chances are we either know him or were about to!”

(Seven hours later at the Titans Tower)

Robin is asleep on the computer (the big one) trying to figure out who Red X is on the computer, he was looking at a bunch of leads about as lively as a mausoleum. Starfire came in to check if he was asleep.

“Oh Robin” she said caressing his hairline “Why do you work so much?”

Suddenly the alarm went off.

“What is it, what is it?” shouted Cyborg

“Who commits crimes at this time of night, don't they have any decency, and I mean superheroes have to sleep too!” said Beast Boy trying to be funny and failing quite miserably.

“Your not funny… and you never will be, live with it” said Raven in her Monotone

“Well `what is up'?” asked Starfire

“Looks like Red X is hitting bank warehouse storage again” said Raven pressing buttons to stop the computer bleeping.

“Ok firstly… TWO HEISTS IN ONE NIGHT?? And next… WHICH RED X?” shouted Beast Boy?

“Great, were going to go down there, by the looks of it Robin-less, and get our Butts kicked” said Cyborg

“Well we can't just stand here can we?” said Raven

“Indeed Friend Raven, we must go!” said Starfire

The Group went down to the East Pier to find Red X stacking bags of coins and notes onto a pile.

“Will you kids not leave to my own devices?” asked Red X sarcastically

“I think not, Bad man, RED X!”

“Oh, baby I'm Flattered but we haven't started having orgasms yet, you got to wait”

“ARGGG!!” shouted Starfire as her eyes started to glow Green. She blasted Star bolts at him, which he dodged easily.

Suddenly as Red X started to prepare to go into fighting `mode' several planks and pieces of debris fell down from the roof along with something else…

The Second Red X emerged from the debris and began wrestling with Red X1. There hands both engulfed each others necks as they tried to choke each other. Red X1 kicked Red X2 off him in a monkey flip, before jumping up into a fighting position. Red X2 used his feet to stop flight by bouncing off a steel girder. He teleported behind Red X1 and used a ground spin kick to knock him down, he attempted to do a ground punch but Red X1 rolled out off the way and kicked himself up and flipped Red X2 over his shoulder, Red X2 hit the ground about 5 meters away from Red X1 and un settled a lot of dust, he used this cover to teleport to the rafters, from where he jumped down and hit Red X1 with his elbow, he went for a axe kick but Red X1 dodged, the Titans carefully watched the battle play out.

Red X2 punched Red X1 to the ground and began talking to the Titans.

“Kids, confused? I'll give you a little help so you don't need commentary” his hands then glowed cyan and the placed them on his upper arms making two glowing, cyan cruciform's appeared on his upper arms so the Titans could distinguish him form the other Red X.

Then Red X1 came from behind Red X2 and began choking him with both his of his lower arms. Just then Robin appeared from behind the rest of the Titans and shouted his classic line;

“Titans GO!!!!”

“Kids, do you not realize I'm on your side here?” shouted Red X2

“Wha??!!….?” asked Beast Boy dumbfounded completely

 

“Duh…now stop the heroic stuff….” Red X2 answered

“Well, you're a criminal” said Robin

“And…a little crime never hurt anybody…”

“That's the stupidest thing I've heard today” shouted Cyborg

“But the most philosophical…choa!” said Red X2

“Why don't you leave me alone!?” shouted Red X1 increasing the choke, Red X2 flipped him over his shoulder and teleported away…Red X1 got up and quickly followed suit.

“Does this leave more questions or answers?” asked Robin Rhetorically.
