Once everybody was packed up, they met at the Tower and carried on from there. They returned to the vehicle they rode into the Tower with and were now on their way. It was not an easy task though, for one thing, there was an argument about directions, but Beast Boy needing a bathroom stopped it for now and they came to a rest stop.
'This is taking longer than I thought.' Atticus thought to himself.
After the rest stop, they went back to traveling. Beast Boy unpacked his suitcase and took out his camera and decided to make a little bit of photo mischief.
"Put it back, Beast Boy." Atticus told the green-skinned boy.
"Just havin' some fun." Beast Boy insisted. He then started to take some photos and even stuck his finger up Raven's nose, which angered her instantly and woke her up and he got severally beaten up after that.
"And that's why and I insisted you to put it back." Atticus said.
Beast Boy groaned as he was now badly battered.
"Are we there yet?" Dot pouted.
"Won't be long now." Robin promised.
"Yeah, just be patient." Atticus said.
Dot stared out the window and put her arm around Lucky as they flew and flew and flew...
Eventually, they finally crossed the Japanese border and they parked nearby a mountain. It was night time when they all came out, but the glittering and crowding buildings so far provided light.
"Tokyo! We made it!" Robin announced.
"Told you it was a left at Hawaii." Cyborg smirked smugly to the team leader.
"When was it left at Hawaii?" Dot asked.
"The city lights are like a million tiny fenorbla flies!" Starfire beamed.
"It may look nice, but there's something rotten down there," Patch sounded determined as always. "And we're going to--"
"Whoo-yeah, hello, Japan!" Beast Boy beamed once he was ready to settle into this country. "So, when do we get to go see the Great Wall?"
"Beast Boy, the Great Wall of China is in China." Atticus told him.
"Ooh, but you know what is in Tokyo?" Beast Boy smirked then. "The world-famous, number-one greatest, most awesome Japanese comic book company, Wakamono Shuppan! We gotta take the tour! Now! Please?"
"Beast Boy, do you even know why we're here in the first place?" Cherry asked.
"We are not on vacation," Robin reminded him. "We're heroes, not tourists."
"You guys are finding Brushogun and showing him justice," Cherry gave a glare. "And since we're guests in this country, we need to be on our best behavior. So let's just do our job and try to stay out of trouble."
"Oh, come on, how could we get into trouble?" Lucky asked.
"You don't know Beast Boy very well, do you?" Cherry mumbled.
"No, no, I do not." Lucky said.
With that, they all went down the mountain and went to travel through Tokyo to do their mission. Downtown had bright and colorful lights and it all looked so peaceful and inviting, though there were monsters about. There were more people walking than in cars due to how large the population was and it was then shown Japan was a rather crowded city.
"So, where to now?" Raven asked dryly.
"The roughest part of town is in the Shinjuku district," Robin read in his guide book. "We'll start our search there."
"We'll need to ask someone for the info." Atticus said.
"Japanese is not my strong suit..." Forte said once he saw that all of the signs were in Asian characters that none of them could read or understand.
"No problem, I'll just ask for directions," Beast Boy walked over to a man who was reading his newspaper. "Um, hi. How do I get to Shinjuku?"
The man looked to him and answered in his Japanese dialect.
"Okay, thanks," Beast Boy smiled and nodded, he then walked over, but then looked defeated. "I have no idea what he said."
"Let's see if our medallions can help us translate what they say." Patch said.
"Perhaps I may be of assistance?" Starfire raised her hand. She then found a boy who was walking by them and she carried him, kissing him right on the mouth which really sketched Robin out more than the others. She then spoke in Japanese to him.
The boy spoke back, pointing to one direction.
Starfire then thanked him and came back over to the group. "It is this way." she then pointed to the same direction the boy pointed her to.
"Why did you just kiss him?" Patch asked.
"Oh, the people of my planet are able to learn any language instantaneously through lip contact." Starfire answered with a proud smile.
"So, you speak Japanese now?" Cyborg asked.
"Mm-hmm." Starfire nodded.
"That's great!" Colette cheered then.
"Yeah... Great..." Robin grumbled slightly.
Atticus's, Mo's, Patch's, and Cherry's medallions glowed a bit, allowing the three to speak Japanese.
Before they got far, people were running from the other side and yelling in a panic. One man came to their side and yelled and pointed to a building.
"A monster is attacking the power lines?" Cherry asked in English, like she could understand what that guy just said.
"That is what he said." Starfire agreed.
"Ooh, maybe it's Godzilla." Dot smiled.
There was stomping heard that shook the area they were in and there came a huge monstrous creature.
"Godzilla!" Dot cheered.
The monster roared and walked through some power lines, causing mayhem over Tokyo.
"Titans, GO!" Robin commanded.
"Let's stay out of the action." Lucky suggested to Forte, Dot, and Colette.
"Cerise, be careful." Cherry warned the young perky goth.
Cherry glared at him and left with the Teen Titans.
"Sorry about this Colette, but I need my medallion for now." Patch took his tag and walked away from his girlfriend to join the others.
Colette gave an understanding look and looked for a safe ground for her and the ones she was staying with.
"This is so awesome!" Dot cheered.
Lucky stayed closer to Dot to make sure she would be safe and smiled to her since she was happy.
The first moves on attacking the monster was throwing everything the heroes had.
"This monster's going down!" Patch growled.
Beast Boy turned into a pterodactyl and carried Cyborg in his talons. Cyborg then shot blasts at the monster. The monster snarled at their hits, but did not go down, it then tried to stomp after them.
"Watch out, guys!" Atticus warned.
"Taste this!" Cherry sent an energy blast.
The monster roared as there was now a gaping hole in its chest. However, the hole was sealed up with a flash of different colored flashes like the ninja from earlier and the hole regenerated back to normal.
"Same power as Saico-Tek!" Cherry then noticed.
"Let's send this big guy falling." Patch suggested.
The monster roared again which nearly shook the whole area. Its eyes then lit up and they tried to zap them, but luckily, the Titans, Cherry, Atticus, Mo, and Patch were able to dodge them blast.
"Ha ha! Missed us!" Patch teased.
"Not for long..." Mo spotted the monster.
The monster walked for them and tried to zap them in the process.
"Time to dodge!" Patch told them.
The monster then turned and slammed his tail down onto the nearest opponent.
"I really underestimated those guys." Robin said about Cherry, Mo, Atticus, and Patch as he ran.
"Time to get this monster by the tail." Atticus said before going over to the monster's tail.
"You are seriously the craziest boy I've ever met." Cherry said to Atticus, but she knew he could do it.
After he grabbed the monster's tail, Atticus lifted it up and off the ground before starting to spin it around. The monster roared and demanded to be let go.
"You wanna be let go?" Atticus taunted.
The monster snarled at him, very angry with him, not caring how strong he was.
"Okay, if that's what you want." Atticus taunted before letting go of the monster's tail while spinning it around.
The monster roared as it was flying through the air now.
"Look out!" Mo called as they quickly scattered to avoid getting squashed by the monster.
The monster landed hard on the ground, unconscious.
"Where's a gas-guzzler when you need one?" Raven droned.
Patch came to the monster to see if it was down for the count. The monster lowly groaned and woke up agian.
"Aw, come on!" Atticus groaned.
Raven threw cars at the monster, but she ended up getting grabbed. Beast Boy turned into a hawk and screeched at the monster and then turned into a gorilla to punch it and make it let go of Raven. Atticus and Patch began to join in. Beast Boy grabbed on a lamp post and gently landed on the ground, back in his human form. He then transformed into a Tyrannosaurus-Rex, but he hit his head on a bridge that was just above him and he slowly went back to normal. The monster snarled and breathed oozing slime all over on top of the green-skinned boy. Beast Boy was not injured, but he was stunned for now.
"Well, that happened." Atticus said.
Cyborg zapped the monster before it could eat Beast Boy. "I hear baseball's big in Japan," he then reached for a pole and pulled it out, carrying it like it was a baseball bat. "Well, get ready for a grand slam!" Unfortunately, he did not notice that the pole was holding up a sign and it was now crashing down on top of him.
The monster came for Cyborg now.
"Half-Robot or not, that had to hurt." Cherry cringed slightly.
"Ditto." Patch cringed.
Starfire flew right over and threw punches at the monster's face. She even tugged one of its ears and threw it against a few buildings and made it crash. She then flew backwards as the monster snarled and stormed over to get her for that, but she accidentally got herself tangled into the power lines. She tried to get free, but the monster grabbed her.
"HEY!" Robin called to distract the beast. "Your mother was a salamander!"
This angered the monster, causing it to chase after the Boy Wonder. Robin ran, expecting and anticipating that.
Beast Boy got up from his mini coma and saw a stain on his vacation shirt. "How am I supposed to pick up hot Japanese girls with a big green stain on my shirt?"
"Your skin is green, you have fangs, and your ears are pointed," Cherry icily deadpanned in a way that could rival Raven's snarkiness. "You're really worried about the shirt?"
"I agree with Cherry." Raven added.
"Hey, chicks dig the ears!" Beast Boy retorted.
Raven and Cherry rolled their eyes, then followed after Robin's direction.
"What is Robin thinking, letting that monster chase after him?" Patch asked.
"I'm sure he's got something up his sleeve," Mo was positive. "Either that or he's stupid or suicidal."
"I'll go with the he has plan theory." Atticus said.
Robin kept running as far as he could as the monster persevered to go after him and possibly kill him. But he seemred to be tougher to catch than the monster thought. Robin took out his weapon and shot at a speeding shuttle. He held on tight as the shuttle then zipped and was now pulling him with it which got to annoy the monster. He then climbed up to a window. The man in the window then pointed behind in warning. The monster swung his tail and broke off the shuttle off the tracks and crashed it in the middle of the road. The monster then broke the railroad and zapped a green ring of fire around the Boy Wonder.
"Whoa!" Patch said with wide eyes.
The green flames then died out. After that, before anything could be said or done, there came up cars with sirens that then circled Robin. The bright lights blinded the monster briefly.
"Troopers! Charge!" a man in uniform commanded.
"Who the heck are these guys?" Patch asked.
Numerous troops flooded out of their vans and took out their weapons to stun the beast. The monster tried to dodge and defend itself and helicopters came to make it even worse for the monster. The Titans, Cherry, Atticus, Mo, Patch, Forte, Dot, Colette, and Lucky then rushed over to see all of the commotion.
"Who are these guys?" Dot asked.
Cherry shrugged. "SWAT Team?"
"A Japanese SWAT Team?" Atticus added in.
"How should I know!?" Cherry flailed. "I don't have all the answers, man!"
The troopers then built a linking oval around the monster that was electric. The uniformed man then stepped over and took out a weapon, slashing it against the charger. This made an electrical barred cage overlap around the monster and trapped it, but unfortunately, they had to drain the power around Tokyo as well in order for it to work.
"Was draining the power really necessary?" Atticus asked.
"Only way that can work," Cherry pointed to the trap around the monster. "You want the power back and then have the Japanese population eaten alive?"
"Never mind." Atticus said.
"We have got to get one of those." Cyborg commented.
"Bad Godzilla, bad monster!" Dot stuck her tongue out at the trapped monster.
"Please don't try to anger the big monster." Lucky begged.
The oval then closed in and forced the monster to come closer to the ground and give up the fight.
"Ah, you are the Teen Titans, hmm?" the uniformed man smiled to the group and walked over. "I see you have new friends with you. Welcome to Japan. I am Commander Uehara Daizo, of the Tokyo Troopers. Tokyo is a unique city, my young friends, with its own unique dangers. Of course, I am sorry you had to learn this the hard way."
"Well, at least it wasn't giant dog." Patch joked.
The others bowed respectively to the Japanese man. Commander Daizo then took over to his office building and introduced them to the country he hailed from. Atticus then saw from the corner of his eye someone familiar.
"We're used to danger, but we appreciate your help, Commander." Robin told their new friend.
"'Commander'?" Commander Daizo smiled still. "No, no, no, no. You may call me Daizo, hmm? We are friends. I will honor you with a tour of our headquarters and our home."
Atticus kept focusing on something else.
"What's wrong?" Patch whispered.
"That teenage boy over there seems familiar." Atticus said.
"Teenage boy?" Patch tried to follow his gaze. He then could see the same teenage boy Atticus saw. "Who is that?" he whispered to his owner.
"I don't know, but he seems familiar." Atticus said.
Soon the teenage boy was giving him the same look. Daizo continued to tell his job to his guests.
"Guys, come on." Dot said.
Atticus and Patch focused on the boy one last time then joined the others with Daizo.
