I am terribly sorry that this is RIDICULOUSLY late! I've been busy with school and certain projects of my own for the past few months. . . For example, I had been studying for my GED for the past few months (for my 12th grade year). I took my GED test earlier this month and passed! I can graduate early! I've also been studying anime quite a bit and found that I have a strong passion for it. 'Death Note' is my favorite!
Well, I've held this out long enough and I hope it's worth reading. Here's the final chapter of 'Internet Sensation'!
Oh, and, acosta perez jose ramiro, Thank you! I was having a hard time figuring out the final chapter and you gave a few ideas to use. This final chapter is dedicated to you! Thanks so much!
Chapter 16
Clash of the Titans
"Beast Boy. . . Cyborg. . . Raven. . . Why?" Starfire asked. Robin had explained everything about David calling and the video being released . . . she couldn't help but feel a little upset by her friends' actions.
"We're sorry, Star," Beast Boy said. His face adorned with nothing, but regret. They really should have considered their feelings above all else. "We thought it would be funny."
"You all invaded on a private date . . . Mine!" Robin abruptly scolded.
"Look, man," Cyborg started, "we're sorry we hurt you and Star . . . really, we are, but. . . Can you please forgive us?"
Robin seemed to ignore the metallic teen's request. He, instead, seemed rather focused on Beast Boy . . . and it was obvious.
The green teen cocked his head and raised a brow. "Dude, what's the deal! Can you please except our apologies already? I mean, yeah, we shouldn't have done it, but that's no reason to give me the willies-AHHHHH!
The Boy Wonder seized Beast Boy's ears and chucked him across the gym's mat. Two seconds later he was roughly turned onto his back and pinned down.
"Listen here, you weasel," Robin hissed, "I know it was mainly you who had the brilliant idea to pull this and you had better prepare yourself for a major beating!"
"I highly doubt that, my friend."
". . . and why is that?" Robin questioned. "You've never beaten me before and never will! Also, I'm about as angry as a hippo with a hernia!"
Beast Boy smirked. "Maybe it's because. . ." He transformed into a kangaroo and kicked the masked boy away, "I have the upper hand."
Robin quickly recollected himself and sprinted towards the green beast. "Don't make this hard on yourself! I'm going to kick your sorry, vegan butt!"
"Hey, don't hating on the veggies!" Beast Boy replied as he transformed back into human form.
"Don't care, shut up, and fight me! I'll make you pay for hurting Starfire!"
"Alright bro, have it your twisted way. . . It's on like Donkey Kong!"
"BRING IT!"
Robin's attempted a swinging kick, but it had been avoided due to BB's sudden hummingbird transformation. The green bird hummed around the confused other for a moment, aimed himself above Robin's head, and suddenly Robin was, again, trapped under the crushing weight of a giant grizzly.
"No, no, no!" Robin yelled, slamming his fist on the ground. "I am sick of being sat upon by your giant, green butt! GET OFF, AND FIGHT ME FOR REAL!"
Cyborg blinked. "Well, dang."
"This won't end well," Raven sighed.
Beast Boy, still in bear form, threw back his head and bellowed a deep laughter. He then decided to make the boy even more irritated and bounced up and down on his rear.
"Ow, Ow, OW, BEAST BOY, KNOCK IT OFF! THAT SERIOUSLY HURTS!"
The green boy turned back into human form, still sitting on the Boy Wonder and laughing.
"Haha, sorry, but it's just so fun to torment you!"
Robin glanced up at the other and glared daggers.
". . . That tears it!" The red and green clad teen reached up and grabbed Beast Boy into a choking head lock. Beast Boy was ready for this as well and changed into an elephant. He easily tossed Robin aside and proceeded to continue his attack in the form of a stallion. Robin quickly took the opportunity to use the same method of strategy he used a few days previous and hope Beast Boy was too oblivious to notice. BB did notice and humiliated the boy even more so by taking the thick string in his utility belt to wind Robin's ankles together and gallop around the gym. Robin's body was being thrown around like a rag doll and he had had about enough humiliation. Why couldn't he think straight right now?
"Beast Boy. . . Beast-Ow-BOY! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, JUST STOP!"
The green horse turned and came to an abrupt halt causing Robin's form to slam into a nearby wall. Starfire gasped while everyone else winced.
Beast Boy turned into his regular form and rushed to Robin's side. He hadn't meant for that to happen!
"Robin. . . Uh, Robin, can you hear me?" Beast Boy poked the ebony haired boy. "Dude, I'm so sorry! I really hadn't meant to do that!"
Robin quietly mumbled a few words, but they were hard to understand.
"Come again?" Beast Boy leaned down. "I don't think I heard you quite right."
Robin yanked the green boy's right ear down to his face. "I said 'no more transformations, no more weapons."
"Dude, are you serious?"
Robin let go of the other's ear and sat up. "Yes, I am."
"So we are gonna do this old school?" Beast Boy questioned.
"Yep."
". . . Nothing else?"
"No."
". . . Well. . . I suppose we better-"
Robin punched BB in the face and watched in satisfaction as he fell back. Beast Boy lay there seemingly unconscious. Thinking he had won, Robin stood up to walk away, but was suddenly wrestled to the ground again. Beast Boy pinned him down with one hand and twisted his wrist into a painful position. He couldn't move. . . He couldn't move! How had Beast Boy learned to react so fast? What was wrong with him today?
Robin huffed and swallowed his pride. "Arm wrestle!" He was going to beat him at something!
"No way, dude! Just accept my apology and we'll all go eat pizza!"
Cyborg approached their fallen leader and bent down. "Yeah, man. We really are sorry and we'll delete the video. It won't exactly do much good, but it'll show we mean it."
Raven was next to follow. "I know you are only fighting for Starfire. While that is not a bad thing in this case, don't lower yourself to such a pathetic position."
"Robin," Starfire spoke next, "I do appreciate your bold effort in defending me, but . . . please do not hurt yourself . . . I am okay now."
Robin felt his head drop in defeat and shame. 'Why do I always blow things out of proportion?'
Beast Boy let go of Robin and gave him a friendly pat on the back. "You must be thinking why you've had a rough time fighting today . . . am I right?"
The Boy Wonder nodded reluctantly.
"You were just in a blind rage is all and I used it against you," Beast laughed. "It was kinda funny though . . . your expressions were hilarious!"
Robin sat in silence for a moment until he finally flashed a genuine smile. "Yeah, I suppose . . . I should've listened to David on the phone earlier. He told me not to lose my temper . . . and I did." He flushed in embarrassment. "I couldn't even focus on my own movements!"
"Hey, we ALL do that!" Cyborg chuckled. "No one on God's green earth is perfect!"
Raven rolled her eyes. "Yes, well . . . just look at me!" She thrust her arms out to each side of her emphasizing her point. "My mother's a human, my father's a demonic moron, and I have split personalities! Sounds like a mental case doesn't it?"
She suddenly felt herself being lifted into a hug . . . Beast Boy.
"Aw, Ravey Wavy, I love you and all of your personalities!" The green teen spun with her in a few small circles before he dropped her. She playfully punched his shoulder in return.
"OMG, Raven!" Happy cried out, "He loves all of us!"
Timid and Sadness glanced at each other briefly and grinned.
"I guess that means . . . us too!" Sadness cried.
Timid held a hand to her heart. "I've never felt so loved before . . ."
"I've never felt so turned on before!" Attraction bellowed.
"I hate you," Rudeness and Anger simultaneously stated.
Raven grinned inwardly at her emotions' comments. They sure were entertaining when they wanted to be.
"Oh, Robin!" Starfire shot down towards her boyfriend and lifted him up lovingly into her embrace. "Everyone has their oddities, but that is what makes us love them so much! If every person was perfect, it would be a boring universe."
Every teen nodded in agreement. What would they ever do without Starfire and her strange, but wise words of wisdom?
"You're right," Robin said. "I just need to work on my temper . . . I hate the way I feel after I lose it."
Beast Boy hopped over to the teen leader. "So, will you accept our apologies now?"
"Yes! Anyone who has seen the video will probably forget it anyway."
Cyborg grouped everyone into a giant, bear hug. "Aw, now, that's the spirit my friend! So, who wants pizza?"
They all raised a hand and smiled.
"Alrighty, I'll get the car started!"
"And I'll drive!" Beast Boy cut in.
"Oh, no you won't! That's my baby!"
"Aw, please!" the green boy turned into a little, wide-eyed puppy and whined.
Cyborg groaned in disgust. "Oh, fine! I'm in a good mood right now, but if you scratch it or crash it . . . I'll make a new rug for the living area using your hide!"
"Dude, touchy."
As the two boys were finishing their argument, Raven gasped in shock. Every teenage turned to see what was wrong. Raven was chewing on her lower lip and in deep thought.
"Friend Raven, what is the matter?"
Raven sighed and glanced at Robin hesitantly. "Robin . . . There is a . . . um, visitor here for you."
The young leader raised a brow. "Who, exactly, is this person?"
"Uh, well . . . Why don't you go see and we'll wait here. He isn't dangerous . . . just someone you aren't really keen on seeing."
"Goody, this should fun," Robin sighed.
The caped boy left his team and headed towards the main entrance, wondering who this guy could possibly be.
'It sure as heck better not be Andy!' Robin thought bitterly. 'He's such a sleaze! I can't believe a guy as nice as David has to even put up with him . . . or the fact that poor Randy is his twin.'
He finally made it to the door. The boy took a deep breath and slowly opened the door revealing the last person he ever wanted to see . . . Batman. He suddenly felt a mix of anger and nervousness as he stared at the intimidating figure towering over him.
"What are you doing here?' Robin asked coldly.
"I'm here for a matter concerning you."
'Great! What did I do now?'
Batman sighed and continued bluntly, "I saw the video of you and the alien girl . . . who I'm still not that trusting of."
Robin rolled his eyes under the mask. 'Oh, God, here we go.'
"Robin, you've become too soft," the Batman started again, "and you shouldn't show your emotions so openly . . . Your enemies will walk all over you and-"
Robin folded his arms around his chest. Why would Batman care? He was into a freaking cat lady who is a thief and he had the nerve to basically write off Starfire!
'And I am certainly NOT too soft!'
This was going to be a very long, stressful, agonizing afternoon.
I hope this story was good and I thank everyone for reading, commenting, and the wonderful ideas! I thank every single one of you and, since it's that day of the year, I wish you all a Happy Halloween (depending on when anyone reads this of course)!
