chapter 10

Meanwhile, the others were unknowingly coming together.


"I hope nothing bad happens." Patch said.


"Oh, I haven't run this much ever since the pound first took me in." Lucky added as they were walking now, it seemed as though the fan girls had disappeared after a while.


"Good thing those fan girls went away." Colette said.


"You're tellin' me, dudes." Beast Boy agreed. "That started out as a dream, but it became a nightmare!"


"Let's see if we can find Atticus and Robin." Patch said.


"Did we lose 'em?" Cyborg asked about the chefs.


"Looks clear." Conan gave a nod.


"Thank goodness because I don't think I could run any faster." Dot sighed.


Beast Boy looked around. "Now where are we going?"


"I don't know." Dot said.


"Well, wherever we're going, maybe we can find that one girl I was looking for." Beast Boy grinned in excitement.


"Other girl?" Dot, Conan, Cyborg, Lucky, Patch, and Colette asked.


"I followed another girl through here before that herd showed up," Beast Boy explained. "She looked like she was part cat. She called me 'otaku'. I don't know what it means, but I like it..."


Conan shook his head.


"What?" Beast Boy asked.


"Uh, she called you 'stupid', Beast Boy." Conan translated.


"What?!" Beast Boy gasped.


"Uh-huh..." Conan nodded.


"I thought she called me 'cute'." Beast Boy frowned.


"No, that's 'kawaii'." Conan corrected.


"Well, this is awkward for Beast Boy." Dot said.


Beast Boy was both aggravated and annoyed.


"You'll get over it." Cyborg said to him.


"Let's just hope the others are in a better situation than we are." Patch said.


Cherry, Forte, an Raven were leaving the library with a book that was given to them.


"Rae!" Cyborg called.


"Guys..." Raven dryly responded.


"What's that book?" Beast Boy asked.


"It's about Brushogun," Raven explained. "We found out more about him and where he came from."


"Yeah and where he got his powers from." Cherry said.


"We have to find Robin, Starfire, Mo, and Atticus." Patch said.


"Raven, what happened to your cloak?" Conan asked.


"Huh?" Raven looked.


"It smells like..." Patch said before sniffing the stain. "Paint?"


Conan took out a magnifying glass and took a closer look at the stain on Raven's cloak. "Yep, that's paint all right..."


"Were you attacked before we found you?" Forte asked Raven.


"It looked like she might have been attacked." Colette said.


"I think Brushogun's been sending enemies at us to slow us down..." Cyborg said.


"What kind of vacation is this anyway?" Beast Boy folded his arms.


"I don't think this is a normal vacation." Dot sighed.


"Looks like you got an adventure on your hands..." Conan said, adjusting his glasses. "Now, where are Atticus, Mo, Robin, and Starfire?"


"I don't know, but I hope they're okay." Colette said.


Meanwhile with Atticus and Robin...


Atticus and Robin were riding away, still in disguise as they were on the night streets of Tokyo. It was quiet... Too quiet. That was never a good sign. However, the police must have discovered that Robin escaped as there were police cars coming into view.


"Oh, shoot." Atticus groaned.


Commander Daizo even came with his Troopers and had the boys surrounded.


"Commander Daizo." Atticus glared.


"Konichiwa..." Daizo greeted back, though slightly sharp.


"What now?" Atticus whispered to Robin.


"Not much else to do." Robin whispered back.


"What're you saying?" Atticus asked.


Robin stood up from the bike, threw off his helmet and put his hands up in surrender. Atticus couldn't beleive the Teen Titans leader was giving up just like that. However, by surprise, there was a pegasus and Starfire shooting straight in as if on cue and grabbed the boys, holding them in safety and flew them away from the crime scene.


"Thanks for saving us, girls." Atticus smiled before kissing the Pegasus, already knowing that it was really Mo.


Mo blushed when Atticus kissed her, considering her own personal mission accomplished. "It was nothing..."


Commander Daizo was frustrated that Robin and Atticus were able to get away, he threw down his megaphone and stormed off between his Tokyo Troopers.


The girls took the boys over to a place to relax and reflect over what was going on. There was steam therapy and a koi fish pond.


"Cool place." Atticus smiled.


"We have something for you guys." Mo said once she was back in her human form.


"Yes." Starfire nodded in agreement.


The girls then pushed over the boys' clothes that they left behind at the prison center.


"Great, thanks, girls." Atticus smiled.


"So you know it's us?" Robin asked.


"I figured it out," Mo said. "I knew Atticus was looking for you Robin and the citizens are talking about Robin's escape, I figured that you guys busted out and went incognito."


"Incognito?" Starfire asked.


"Fancy way of saying 'in disguise'." Mo explained.


"Ah..." Starfire understood now, then looked to Robin. "You must be very good with the disguises because I was surprised when Friend Mo told me about the feeling she had that we needed to come downtown to rescue you both."


"Yeah, well, getting these clothes weren't exactly easy or hard to get from those two bikers guys." Atticus said.


"I was very worried about you, Robin..." Starfire frowned.


"You had a feeling?" Atticus asked Mo then.


"I had this gut feeling..." Mo shrugged. "Something told me where you were and you were in danger... Starfire and I were talking and then the feeling was happening, so I used my medallion and turned myself into a pegasus so I could fly too and save you in time."


"Well then, I'm glad you listened to your gut feeling." Atticus smiled.


"So am I..." Mo smiled shyly.


"We're really glad you girls are here." Robin said, though he mostly looked to Starfire when he said that.


"Yeah." Atticus smiled at Mo.


Mo and Starfire then looked away.


"We shall give you time to-" Starfire was about to say.


Robin grabbed on her arm with a small smirk, not letting her go anywhere.


"Shall we try the double date ritual once more?" Starfire asked once she realized where this was going.


"Yes, let's try it one more time." Mo smiled.


Robin and Atticus smiled as well. Both boys leaned in to kiss the Starfire and Mo, but...


"WASSUP!?"


The four pulled apart in shock and surprise once the doors opened and of all people, Beast Boy showed up.


"Uh-Oh, I think we might have interrupted something they were about to do." Dot said, noticing the shocked and surprised expressions on their faces.


"Well, it'll have to wait." Beast Boy said.


"Man, are you ever glad to see us!" Cyborg smiled.


"We are?" Atticus and Robin asked.


"Yeah, because we have some information that will clear your name, Robin." Patch smiled.


"Yeah?" Robin asked.


"Did you get your laptop fixed?" Atticus asked Cherry.


"We haven't been able to get on the internet for a while, but we did research with Raven who was at the library." Cherry explained.


"Yeah and where we also found out what these creations that have been attacking us are made of." Forte said.


"Plus that ooze on your uniform wasn't blood, it was ink." Conan replied.


"AKA: Paint just like the stain on Raven's cloak when she got attacked by that shadow thing." Forte said.


"And the lipstick from that girl who kicked BB's butt." Cyborg added in.


"She was a cat girl!" Beast Boy snapped in defense.


"Still, she kicked your butt." Conan smirked.


Beast Boy lowly growled and folded his arms.


Robin went deep into thought. "So the criminals are all connected."


"Yeah and where they're all created by the same man." Conan said.


"Brushogun." Dot, Patch, and Lucky said maturely then.


"Now the only question is where is he?" Forte asked.


"You don't know?" Atticus asked.


"That's just the one thing we can't find out," Conan said as he adjusted his glasses. "Not even I can."


"Wait, I think I might know where he might be." Atticus said.


"Every time I tried to find out on the Net, I'd get a glitch or something!" Cherry shook her hands in mass hysteria.


Atticus and Robin had changed from the clothes they were in to their original clothes and were now ready to leave to the one building Atticus knew where Brushogun was. The others followed Atticus as he took over control of this mission/adventure. Starfire looked disappointed that she and Robin missed their chance of a kiss, but said nothing.
