1 Chapter 1
...
Bits of blood dripped steadily from the Blue wolves shoulder landing at her feet in a small crimson red puddle. Her lips pulled back revealing her sharp pointy white fangs. A dangerous growl rolls from her lips. The blue fur on her back raised up in the air. Her blue eyes glare darkly over at a tall man his ruby red eyes watching her. A mysterious creepy smirk crossing his lips.
The man hid himself in the shadows of the trees. But due to the wolves keen eyesight she was able to see him extremely well
"Now, now Yukia that isn't the way to greet an old friend is it"? He says mockingly his voice sending a cold shiver down the wolf's spine
The animal was quite traumatized by this man, he was a blood thirsty monster who wouldn't hesitate to kill her, but she would hold her ground. She wouldn't give him the pleasure of seeing her scared, another growl rolls from her throat
"You are not my friend" She snarls. Just as the man steps out of the dark shadows of the trees his black hair blowing slightly in the breeze. His red eyes seeming to roll upwards, at the huge wolf infront of him. Two long black hilted swords hung out from his back.
"Awe that's really sad I thought we were really close" the man mocks Cheekily a third sword held up in front of him. thick trickles of red liquid. Falls on the ground at his feet.
The blue wolf rolls her eyes in silent distaste. At the arrogant man. He was just so heartless.
"You tried to kill me" She pointy snarls, as her eyes blaze with deep rage. Still Keeping a close eye on him . "And you've tried to kill my friends, you actually killed my family. I will never see you as a friend ever"
After the final words leave Yukia's lips. She slungs low to the ground her blue eyes looking for the slightest week spot in the man's thick armor. It was hard to find he knew Yukia would instantly aim for his throat. Due to natural wolf instinct. The smart thing to do was to keep it protected if possible.
"Tried" The man question randomly, with a small raise of his eye brow, and, an evil smirk spreading across his lips. "My dear, I didn't try to kill them I did kill them"
Yukia's eyes go big and, round, though she quickly shakes away her shock. not wanting to believe his claim. He always was like this, trying to set her off.
"Your lying" she hissed her massive head. Shaking back and forth. Not wanting to think about her friends being killed. Especially by him.
"Really my dear you want to take that chance?" the man questions suspiciously.
He would have thought by now that, she would believe him he had killed her family, after all, why would he hesitate to kill her pathetic friends?
Debalo moves to the side revealing five bodies on the ground at his feet, each one laying still there chest weren't rising and falling. They had no heartbeat. The color in their faces was completely gone.
The lack of color turning their faces completely to purple Yukia looks over them her eyes widened again. Realizing who the bodies belong to.
"No" She mumbles under her breath.
A few tears making their way to her eyes as she tries to walk towards them only for Debalo to hold his sword up and run towards her taking the distraction as an opportunity to attack her, he flings his sword forward aiming to hit her in the stomach however Yukia realizing what was going on quickly jumps out of the way her eyes staying on the emotionless bodies behind him.
Debalo's sword hits the ground with a sickening crack, causing the ground to crumble from the hard impact. Debalo, turns around to face the huge wolf once again. A dangerous look flashing through his red eyes. As he watches her. Though her eyes mostly remain on her friends.
"Yukia, Yukia, wake up" a familiar voice cuts through, the girls head.
Just as a sudden bright light appears infront of her, causing her to cover her eyes with one of her huge paws.
....
Yukia had instantly bolted up right from her nightmare. Feeling the warmth of fresh tears streaming down her cheeks. Her body trembles as she pulls her knees up to her chest, hugging her legs as she rest her head on top of them. Feeling the heart in her chest thump loudly in her ears. Due to the sleep still in her eyes Yukia, was inable to see properly at the moment.
"Were you having the nightmare of dreams?" A sudden female voice asks from her right side. Concern being laced in there voice. Causing Yukia, to jump up in fright. Not having realized anyone was in her room.
"Starfire?" Yukia mumbles inwardly, quickly able to realize who the voice's owner was.
A hand brushes comfortingly over, Yukia's left shoulder. Causing her to flinch up. Feeling the hand instantly remove from her shoulder.
"It's ok Yukia, your safe now" a male voice says soothingly from her left side. "No one is gonna hurt you"
'Robin?'
"You must have been having an awful dream" another male voice chimps in. Also seeming to be at her left side.
'Beastboy'
"We heard you scream all the way from our rooms" another male voice points out. This one coming from directly infront of her.
"Cyborg"
"You're ok now though" another female voice travels to her ears from the door of her room.
'Raven'
Taking in a Breath Yukia sits back in her bed using the sleeves of her long sleeved white shirt to wipe away the tears from her eyes, and possibly even the blurriness from her eyes. She wanted to see her friends.
"You are the ok right?" She heard Starfire ask carefully.
"Yeah, I'm ok Star" Yukia answers her steeply. A smile crossing her lips when she moves her arm from her eyes. And, was finally able to see Her friends. Concerned looks on most of there faces.
With Raven covering up any emotion she had towards the situation. To herself. Besides Yukia, was well aware that Raven cared. She didn't have to show it or even say it.
"What was, Your dream about?" Cyborg asked cautiously. Him, and the other titans knew well.
Yukia, wasn't the type to tell them about her problems. The girl mostly kept things to herself. And only told them a few things here and there.
But Cyborg wanted to be a good friend to the young girl, if she wanted to talk to him. Or any of them for that matter she could.
"O um it was nothing" the girl answers lowly her eyes going to her hands. As she lets out a saddened sigh.
"It was Debalo again wasn't it?" Robin asked his eyes raising slightly under his mask, as he notices the girl winch at the man's name. Indicating he was right
The evil man always seemed to bother his younger teammate. And, even if he wanted to help her, there was not much he could really do.
Yukia barely shakes Her head at his words. A few lose tears streaming down her cheek's.
"Yeah" she answers in a hushed voice, however, luckily before the matter could be pressed any further the alarms. In the tower cut through red lights flashing wildly
"Trouble" Yukia says standing up from her bed relieved, having something to do may get her mind off that little nightmare of hers,
Yukia was kind of short compared to the other five Titans, she barely came to Beastboy's shoulders.
Yukia, had deep crystal blue eyes that seemed to shine slightly when the moon shined through her bedroom window, her long red hair cascades measly down her back, she wore mostly normal clothes like t-shirts and jeans even though she had joined the titans she didn't really want a costume she didn't see herself as a hero and, she doubted she ever would.
The Titans rush out of Yukia's room. The girls room was pretty simple, a few wolf posters hung upon the walls. A small fluffy red carpet layed on the ground by her bed.
A little nightstand with a small lamp. Also stood by her bedside.
Walking out of her room the door shutting automatically on its own behind her. Yukia, follows the Titans down the wide narrow hallway, and, into the main room.
Robin immediately strides over to the computer. And, rapidly begins typing on it. However, he suddenly pauses, his eyes going round behind his eye mask. As a sudden angry look comes to his face. Seeing the name that flashed over the screen.
"Robin, what is the matter?" Starfire asked carefully, she backs up next to cyborg. When Robin suddenly stands up. Turning to face his team with the angry look still glued to his face.
"It's Slade" Robin growls as his hands clench automatically down, at his sides.
A huge silence, falls over the room as a puzzled look crosses over the other four Titans faces. There eyes wide.
Slade, was a name, none of them ever thought, they would hear again, at least not after Raven's father tried taking over the earth.
Yukia, being still a little new to the team, just stands there a confused look on her face.
But at the moment Yukia, really didn't want to bother them with her questions. They seemed quite touchy about this guy. Remaining quiet seemed like the better idea right now. Her blue eyes on the ground.
"So, what is he doing now?" Cyborg speaks up finally breaking the uncomfortable silence. With a sigh being heard in his voice.
Robin glances back at the computer from over his shoulder, his eyes narrowing slightly at the screen
"It's only flashing up his name but it's Slade he never does anything good" Robin answers dryly.
Suddenly the lights in the tower flicker once then twice a third time, before, finally cutting completely off. Covering the once brightly lit room into utter darkness.
"Great" Raven mutters sarcastically her voice toneless, as her eyes roll behind her hood.
Firstly, they were up at an early hour not having a clock she wasn't sure what time it was now the lights went out, what more could go wrong?
Yukia, slips to her wolf form, her eyes adjusting easily to the dark.
Yukia's wolf form was a beautiful light blue color, with small splashes of white on her stomach chest and paws. Compared to a normal grey wolf. Yukia, was bigger, a lot bigger.
Cyborg flicks on the small light on his left shoulder. Lighting up a small portion of the room. Before slowly moving the light over the room. Making sure no one was in there.
"No one's here" He decides. With the light on his shoulder going to the others.
"Let's go" Robin growls as he turns to head to the exit of the tower. Desperate to get to the bottom of what was going on. What was Slade, planning now?
The other four Titans and, Yukia follow quickly behind him. None of them wanting to argue with him. Robin, was already in a seemingly bad mood. Arguing would only make matters worse. And he was hard to handle when he was angry.
.....
Riding in the back seat of the t car Yukia looks out over the huge city. Darkness filled over the empty streets. The lights in the houses had been turned completely out and being in her human form it made it hard for Yukia to see through the darkness.
Robin drove his motorcycle in front of them, Starfire sits behind him her arms resting comfortably around his waist a light blush Crossing the boy's face he could feel the beat of his heart increase at her closeness but he had to focus on stopping Slade right now he couldn't let his feelings towards her get in the way.
"He should be up ahead" Robin says through Cyborg's communicator
"I wonder what he could possibly be thinking turning out all the power" Cyborg wonders mostly to himself his human eye narrowing as he thinks about all the things Slade could possibly be doing with the lights of
"Anything he wants" Beastboy answers him a little seriousness could be heard in his voice, he hated the man with a burning passion one of his best friends would still be here if it weren't for the masked man he hoped Yukia wouldn't get pulled into the man's cunning ways he wasn't wanting to lose her the same way they lost Terra
"So, what's so bad about him?". Yukia asked innocently her eyes looking over the three Titans in the car, hoping she didn't ask something they didn't want to talk about, she would understand if they didn't want to
"He's just a really bad dude" Beastboy answers her simply his green eyes glancing slightly back at the red-headed girl in the back seat who looks back at him sympathy feeling her blue eyes
The car ride falls into a silents Yukia wasn't sure if she should push the matter further they didn't seem like they really want to talk about this guy maybe she shouldn't have asked them, though it would be nice if they told her more about his fighting style but she decides against asking she would just figure it out on her own, Her blue eyes look out the window as they drove passed the many huge buildings
.....
Reaching the docks the four Titans climb out of the car Yukia shifts to her wolf form. Feeling more comfortable being in the familiar form especially with it being so dark. Yukia could hopefully see any approaching enemies that could possibly try and land a sneak attack on her friends.
A low growl escaping from her mouth, when her blue eyes spots a dark figure. Possibly a man, by a rather huge machine, it had a tv like screen on the front and at least a hundred knobs all around it. The dark figure messes around with the knobs, suddenly causing the screen to flip on. The light from the screen revealing the man more clearly.
"Slade" Robin hissed causing the said masked man to turn and face him.
"Awe the teen Titans it's nice to see you again" The man muses, looking over the five teens before his one visible eye rest on Yukia. "You have a new member I see"
Raven quickly moves in front of Yukia blocking the man's view she knew how he was he might try and, get Yukia to become his apprentice or something he has done it before and she knew he wouldn't hesitate to try and, get Yukia to join him.
"What are you planning Slade" Robin hissed the anger plain in the boy's voice he holds up his bow staff threateningly.
"Planning Robin? O nothing really" Slade said moving aside to reveal his machine the tv screen had just begun to swirl around. "but to send you away once and for all".
That was enough to get Robin charging aiming a hit to the man's midsection however Slade was expecting it he knew the boy wouldn't stand back much longer He jumps out of the way dodging Robin's attack he then lands a punch on the boys unprotected stomach a painful gasp escapes from Robin's lips, clutching his stomach with his arms Robin falls forward on to his knees, trying hard to regain the breath that had been knocked out back into his lungs
Slade jumps into the air doing a small spin. Aiming a powerful kick to the masked boy's side, however suddenly, a green substance flies towards him hitting him hard in the chest. Knocking him back.
Starfire, stood beside Robin, her star bolts dying down around her hands her green eyes now focusing on Robin who was still trying to get the breath back into his lungs,
Slade quickly catches himself before he crashes into the cold pavement doing a backflip, he lands on his feet his one eye glaring over at Starfire.
Slade, begins running towards her wanting to land a hit on her she wasn't paying him any mind anyways a bad mistake on her part she should never have taken her eyes off him, however before he could get closer to the two Titans a loud roar stops him in his tracks his visible eye glancing over to see Beastboy in his gorilla form charging at him Slade jumps away just as Beastboy lifts his arms in the air to try and hit him, beast boy brings his arms down hitting the ground hard, the ground seems to crack slightly from the hard impact,
Slade, does a small backflip jumping in the air, ending up behind the green teen wrapping his arms around Beastboy's neck though he would have to admit wrapping his arms around the boys huge gorilla neck was rather difficult especially with all the green fur. But somehow Slade, managed to pull the enraged boy to the ground. his grip tighting ever so slightly.
Beastboy lets out a loud gasp, starting to find it hard to breathe, his eyes parsley closing. Before Slade's grip could tighten any further a blue blast knocks into his side. Sending the masked man flying into the wall of a nearby warehouse. The wall instantly collapses around him, from the impact.
Slade, immediately stands back up, almost as if nothing happened. Dusting himself mockingly off. Slade's visible eye stares back at Cyborg a cold sneer crossing his face. Unseen due to the mask overhis face.
A sudden dark energy wraps around Slade's ankles. Spinning him around in the air, before slamming him onto the cold hard pavement below a low groan escaping the mask man's lips as he goes to sit up. Of course he was able to keep any signs of pain to himself.
Slade, gets back to his feet his eye now focused on Raven who now stood in front of Cyborg and Beastboy. her fist clenched
Beastboy was now back in his human form rubbing his neck it felt so tender right now. Cyborg, stood beside him checking to make sure he was going to be alright.
Raven, glares at the masked man dark energy surrounding her hands. Slade, narrows his eye at her before jumping up avoiding a dark energy blast the blast hits the spot where he had been standing the ground cracking slightly, he lands behind Raven and roughly pushes her towards the ground. however Raven was quick and easily catches herself before she could hit the ground, she then turns back around to face him.
Slade, smirks darkly under his mask, a small knife pointed at the Raven haired girls throat Raven swallows hard her dark energy sort of vanishing from her hands, her eyes glaring darkly back at the masked man before her,
"Slade no" Robin hissed he was now back on his feet and was about to run at the masked man. But his breath had not fully returned to him and he stumbled over.
Starfire, bends down beside him, checking to make sure he was ok. Robin, glares darkly up at the masked man, his teeth grittingin frustration. The sharp blade seems to only move closer to Raven's throat.
Just then, A huge blue thing quickly ramps into the mask man's side knocking him roughly away from Raven, in an attempted to defend himself Slade throws the knife back.
Yukia, lets out a low yelp of surprise as the sharp pointy knife slices into her shoulder. Ignoring the pain. Yukia cast her eyes over at the masked man a furious growl escaping her lips.
"Back off" she snarled even in her wolf form Yukia was able to talk. Though her voice was a lot stronger and gravelly.
Slade smirked he really did want to see what this new Titan was about what was her powers. A side from shape shifting, his hands go to his utility belt, causing the girl to let out another growl. Pulling out a long silver bowstaff. Slade stares over at the blue wolf emotionallesslly.
Yukia slings to the ground her blue eyes watching him carefully. Unsure what Slade was able to do. Yukia didn't want to just jump forwards. However before either of them could make a move to attack.
A bright light cuts through. looking back at the huge machine. Yukia widens her eyes. the bright light grows brighter and brighter cutting a path, between her and, Slade, keeping them from attacking each other.
Yukia, uses her paw to cover her eyes the white light that came from the machine blinding her
"O well" the man smiled to himself the light grew bigger and bigger till everything fell dark.
.....
It had been a while since Yukia had been teleported, she could not remember ever being completely conscious and, maybe the other times. She was glad she'd blacked out. Yukia was being spun in fast speady circles. Making her feel a bit dizzy, everything was so blurry.
When Yukia, finally stopped spinning. She feels herself land on something warm a low whimper escaping her lips when a sharp pain barely shoots up her shoulder blade.
"Yukia can you please get off?" she heard Starfire ask kindly, the female titan sounding as if she was out of breath.
Starfire, didn't want to push her off. But in Yukia's wolf form, she was rather heavy. Yukia slowly climbs off her friend.
"Where are we?" She heard Beastboy ask sounding a bit unsure.
"Are you all here?" Yukia asked concerningly. Opening her eyes only to close them back. Yep still blury, it was annoying. She wanted to see her friends. Make sure they where ok.
"Yes, friend Yukia where all here" Starfire answers sweetly
"Transform into your human form Yukia, so I can see your wound better" Raven says. Just as a white energy comes over her hands.
Yukia, sits down in the cool grass. Before turning back to her human form. With her eyes being blurry still she didn't feel like risking the chance of falling backwards.
Raven, feeling a bit surprised that the girl didn't argue about actually being healed.
Usually Yukia, wouldn't even allow them to look at her wounds with out telling them 'she didn't want them to waste there powers on her' Raven guessed the gitl just wasn't wanting to argue right now. Which made it easier on Raven.
Yukia, doesn't even jump up when she feels Raven's hand touch the wound on her shoulder, only feeling a small sting, which was easily avoidable.
Raven reels her hands back before standing up to her full height. The white energy having already left her hands. Despite the small bits of dried blood on her shoulder. Yukia was fine.
"Should have known it would already be gone" Raven tonelessly replies.
"I forget sometimes on how fast your body can heal itself" Cyborg admits sounding shocked. "Even though I guess we should be use to it"
"Thanks, Raven " Yukia says gracefully. "I'm glade your willing to try and. Help me atleast"
Raven, remains quite though internally she was smiling Yukia, would never feel ungrateful for them helping her anymore that is.
"And I honestly forget sometimes myself. It's still a bit new for me" Yukia tells Cyborg sheepishly. "Now if I could only see you guys that would be wonderful"
"Awe you miss use that much" Beastboy can't help but joke around.
Getting a scowl from Yukia. And an eye roll from Raven leave it to the green boy to joke around at a time like this.
"I'm touched" Cyborg soothes brightly. Putting a hand over his heart. To prove his point.
"No, never" Yukia snaps sarcastically. An amused look clear on her face. "I'm just tired of the darkness, is all"
Smirking when she hears Beastboy, and,
Cyborg, chuckle humorously to themselves, sounding as if they where standing beside her, or atleast close by. Both of them knowing her words to be false. She loved them all and, they knew it.
Yukia, begins to blink her eyes rapidly. Hoping that perhaps, it would rid them of the small blurriness that still remained in them. Yukia, was more then Determined to see once again. Feeling deep relief spill internally inside her. When she is actually able to see again. Yukia swiftly glances over the Titans. Making sure they where all there safely. Once she realizes all five of them are there with her. The girl internally relaxes.
Yukia, then peers around the forest they where all in. Taking in the beautiful scenery surrounding them. The trees around the area where quite huge. There height easily able to block out the sunlight above, from shining through. A small waterfall could be heard from some where close by. The many different sounds of the birds chirping up the trees. Could be heard through out the forest.
Robin, stood away from his friends in a somewhat angry poster. He couldn't believe this. How could they have forgotten about that machine of Slade's. There was no telling what the evil man would do to their city.
Maybe they could get back in time before he did something really bad or perhaps if he could get a hold of Titans east he could get them to help. If only his stupid communicator would work. But disappointedly it did not. Sighing irrationally Robin, puts the small device up.
Just as a sudden blue bubble was placed around them. The Titans instantly look up. Seeing a ray of weird looking weapons heading speedily towards them, at almost blinding speed. However, the weapons clutter to the ground harmlessly when they hit the blue bubble.
"Now what!?" Robin hissed under his breath looking back at his teammates. In silent question.
All of them shrugging there shoulders unsurely at him.
Yukia stood infront of her friends, her arms held out infront of her. As she keeps up the huge blue shield now around her and the titans. Her eyes casting back at them from over her shoulder.
"Where surrounded" she informs them dryly. Focusing her mind back on keeping her shield up. Her blue eyes narrowing.
Robin angrily grits his teeth, his anger feeling almost as if it was on the verge of boiling over. Beastboy and Cyborg both narrow there eyes, up into the brush of the trees wanting to see who had tried to attack them. Starfire sighs lowly not approving of having to fight again not after having to face Slade.
"What the heck?!" A loud voice suddenly booms from somewhere up in the trees, sounding somewhat shocked. "I thought I had them..."
"Great" Raven mutters her voice drenched in sarcasm. Her eyes rolling unenthusiastically under her blue hood. Just what they needed. What could be worse than being teleported and, then having to fight afterward? Especially After having to fight someone like Slade. "It just keeps getting better and better"
.....
