SCENE-1<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
NEW YORK CITY
The Warehouse Loft Of Dick Greyson:
Virgil Hawkins [aka: Static] and Victor Stone [Cyborg] stood at the island in Greyson's warehouse loft, staring across the room at Victor's purple dog [Majesty] as he lay lazily on Dick's plush new sofa, watching him sleep!
"I TOLD you there's something odd about your dog...!" said Static [as he and Victor drank sofa-pop together]...! "He doesn't ACT like a normal dog!"
"What kinda DOG purposely sits on a guy's dick and FUCK himself...?" asked Cyborg [referring to what happened to him (in chap-11]!
"Exactly!" agreed Static! "I've been telling you guys that something's UP with him...! I mean..."
"SHH...!" startled Cyborg, as Purple Majesty slowly stretched and opened his eyes...!
Victor and Virgil spun around [facing away], pretending not to watch as Purple Majesty jumped down off the sofa and trotted towards Dick's bathroom...!
"Do you think he HEARD us...?" asked Cyborg, as he and Static stopped standing like statues!
"I dunno..." said Static, "...he SCARES me!"
"This's crazy..." said Cyborg [shaking the bad thoughts out of his head]! "...we're standing here whispering about a DOG...!"
"That ain't no dog!" argued Cyborg!
Just then they heard the toilet FLUSH...!...then the `dog' walked out with his tail up..., with toilet paper hanging off his asshole...!
"That's it!" shouted Kyle Clayton [Omen], jumping up from Dick's laptop computer! "We haven't heard JACK from Dick or Ollie since they went to Bludhaven...! I say WE go back out there and FIND OUT what's happened to them and kick-ass if we don't get the answers we're looking for...!"
"I'm down with that!" said Static!
"So am I!" said Victor, as the three headed over the balcony [heading outside to the borrowed JSL Jet parked in Dick's parking lot outside]...!
Purple Majesty barked and wagged its tail as it jumped down off the sofa to follow...!
"No Majesty..." declined Victor [just as he was leaping over the edge]...! "...it might be too dangerous for you...! Stay here!" he demanded, before dropping out of sight!
Purple Majesty frowned, then sucked its teeth as it defied Victor's orders and followed anyway...!
SCENE-2<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
BLUDHAVEN, NH
The Justice League's jet soared across the skies of New Hampshire..., as laser cannons appeared out of the ground before The Church Of Blud, shooting up at The Titans as they tried to come in for a landing...!
"So much for pleasantries...!" said Cyborg [the one flying the jet], using aerial maneuvers to dodge the laser-fire as the bright red beams shot pass them!
"Hit `em back HARD, Cyborg!" advised Static [as they sat strapped in their seats]!
"With WHAT...?" asked Cyborg, having enough trouble just avoiding the lasers! "This jet doesn't have any weapons systems...!"
"NO weapons...??" questioned Static [unlocking his seatbelt]! "What kinda shit is that for a jet THIS expensive...?!
"I'll handle the cannons myself...!" he said, leaping out of a small hatch [with his trashcan lid], levitating himself down to the ground where he used his powers of telekinesis to destroy one of the 2 cannons while Cyborg's powerful sonic-cannon destroyed the other [as he came crashing down to the ground after leaping out of the same hatch as Static]...!
Omen landed the jet gently to the ground behind them...as dozens of security agents came rushing across campus [out of every nook and cranny] carrying glowing energy-rods!
"We're only here to find out friends...!" warned Cyborg, as the guards came at them anyway [nonstop]!
"They're not listening...!" warned Static, shooting electrical force from his fingertips, shocking 4 or 5 guards at once [rendering them unconscious]!
"They're funerals!" said Cyborg, switching his sound' cannon to his repercussion blaster, which set on wide range' was able to take out 20 guards with one blast without hurting them [much]!
Once the jet was secured Omen came flying out of the back hatch looking for blood! Having already received eerie feelings about this sinister place..., he was no on full fighting mode as he came soaring across the lawns with his fist powered in front of him...mowing through the guardsmen like tall grass, sending them flying through the air like leaves in a windstorm!
Each Titan moved forward with his distinct power, cutting security down to size as they inched their way towards The Church Of Blud [searching for their friends]!
While Cyborg remained grounded, making quick work of the enemy with his blasters [sending the guards scattering about through the air like toy soldiers]; Static kept to the air...riding a infamous trashcan lid while hitting security with electrical jolts as well as telekinetic waves [leaving security tumbling about from mild electrocutions]; as Omen soared high, spreading his magical wings as he dodged long range fire-power from the guardsmen's energy-rods...!...zig-zagging left and right to avoid contact of any kind before swooping in low [like a bird] and blasting them all out of the way with the energy crackling from his forward flying fists...!
The Titans were slowly gaining ground when out of nowhere came a big purple elephant...!...charging across the lawn like a stamped, barreling through security before crashing through the walls of The Church..., giving The Titans a safe way IN!
"What the hell was THAT...?!" asked Kyle [Omen], looking around to see if the circus was in town...?
"YOU saw it too...?!" asked Static [finally feeling vindicated]! "A BIG purple elephant...?
"I TOLD yall I saw one the other day when we were fighting Thunder & Lightning...!" [chap-7]!
"Yeah...we ALL saw it..." confirmed Cyborg, noticing all the hurt and unconscious guys lying around on the ground! "...the question IS...where the hell did it come from...??! It ain't my DOG...!...Purple Majesty's back home in New York!"
"Who cares where it came from...?" asked Omen, soaring on overhead...! "IT just made us a way in...! Let's go!" he yelled, flying through the large hole!
Static and Cyborg followed..., finding a purple gorilla mauling its way through tens of monks..., tossing them around like ragdolls!
"Do you SEE IT...? Do you SEE IT...??" asked Static [making certain HE wasn't crazy]! "Now it's a monkey!"
"A gorilla!" corrected Cyborg, as he sprayed the corridor with a wide-range energy blast [knocking whomever it hit unconscious for the count]!
"Gorilla-shamilla...WHO CARES...?? It's obviously a SHAPE-SHIFTER...which means it could be ANYTHING...!"
"Anything PURPLE..." corrected Cyborg, aiming his sound-cannon at the gorilla...! "...like a purple DOG...!" he concluded, before shooting and hitting the gorilla in its back, sending it flying face-first into a nearby wall [stunning it]!
Cyborg quickly ran over to cover it..., pointing his weapon directly in its face while screaming... "WHO THE HELL ARE YOU...?! WHY WERE YOU PRETENDING TO BE MY DOG...??!"
"THIS isn't the time or place for this...!" said Omen [landing nearby], keeping a look out for more guardsmen and monks...!
"We ain't going NO FURTHER til I find out WHO this thing is and why he's been masquerading as my PET...??!" argued Cyborg, keeping his weapon at close range!
"Okay, okay..." said the purple gorilla, shifting into what looked like a slim 15yr old purple boy [with curly bangs and sideburns]...! "...my name's Garfield Logan...and I'm a shape-shifter...! Hi!" he smiled [nervously], staring straight up at Cyborg's weapon!
"WHO sent you...?" asked Cyborg, still holding his position! "WHY the charade...?!"
"n...nobody `sent' me...!" said Garfield! "I'm a mutant! I was BORN with these abilities! For years I thought I WAS a dog, living with a litter of pups until I realized I was a BOY!
"I noticed you that night on the bridge..." he continued [much to Victor's horror]..., "...and called out to you just before you..."
"Shut up!" ordered Vic [not wanting the others to know of his suicide attempt] (chap-3).
"`Shut up' indeed...!" said the voice of Brother Blud, standing overtop The Titans on a balcony, staring down at them with their friends: Raven and Greyson standing by his sides...! "I'm assume you came for THEM...?" he questioned, as The Titans all looked up at him [from the ground floor]! "But I'm here to tell you you wasted a trip! As Raven and Dick are now LOYAL members of my Church Of Blud...!
"They LOVE it here!"
"That's a LIE!" yelled Omen! "You DID something to them...! TRICKED them into serving you! Dick would NEVER join your church!"
"Yet, HERE he is..." teased Blud, "...and YOU can join too, if you want to be by his side so badly...! Otherwise I'm offering you the chance to turn around and leave...without further incident...!"
"You can take your `offer' and shove it straight up your ass, Blud...!" snarled Victor [still mad that Purple Majesty was just a boy playing him for a fool]...! "We ain't going nowhere without our peeps!"
"So be it!" said Blud, sending Raven and Greyson forth, as they both leaped over the edge of the balcony to do battle with The Titans!
Raven sent forth his soul-self...which quickly engulfed a frightened Static and turned his emotions against himself as it attacked his mind and made him relive some of the worst memories of his childhood!
Dick leaped towards Omen, nearly connected with a fly-kick before Omen moved out of the way and took to the air with his wings...!
"Dick, it's ME, Kyle! You don't want to DO this...! You don't want to fight for Brother Blud! HE'S the enemy, not us!"
But Dick wasn't listening, as he somersaulted and flipped his way towards Omen and HIT HIM with a series of fighting styles [taught to him by none other than the infamous Batman]! Kyle hit the ground [hurting]..., but not before lifting his hand in defense..., a crackling of energy around his outstretched hand sending Dick Greyson flying backwards with FORCE [as he went sliding across the church floors barely conscious]...!
"Blud's making us hurt out friends instead of HIM...!" yelled Cyborg, leaping off the ground floor towards the balcony, changing his sound cannon for an energy sword which he planned to use to slice straight THROUGH Brother Blud...knocking him out and ending this fight before it got too out of hand...!
But Blud wasn't without resources of his own...as a simple wave of his hand sent up a force-field which Cyborg slammed into [hard], causing him to fall backwards back to the ground where he landed just inches from where he started [near Garfield]!
The changling saw his `friend' fall and got mad...!...shifting himself into a giant T-Rex dinosaur...!...roaring like a monster as everyone witnessing the act shrieked in absolute horror! However the dinosaur was far too heavy for the floor...causing it to crack and buckle before caving in...leaving everyone within range to go crashing through the floor and into a canon below...!
Once the dusting cleared and eyes were able to adjust to the dim lighting in the space below..., Omen was the first to recognize "OLIVER...!", as he and the others from his `rehab retreat' were now incased in capsules lining the walls..., red tubs coming from their cylinders resembling BLOOD!
"They're being drained of their blood...!" yelled Omen, as the blood was being drained into Brother Blud's `blood-pool' [chap-12]! Cyborg [regaining some of his senses] noticed the capsules as well..., and aimed his blaster towards the generator housing them and BLASTED it without a second thought! The explosion automatically opened the cylinders as the occupants all fell forward [too drained to move]!
"NO! You meddlesome kids!" yelled Blud, leaping down into the canon!
Raven sent his soul-self to attack Omen...which Omen was able to repel with his signature power over all forms of the supernatural...! He in fact was able to take control of Raven's soul-self, and turn it back against him...making him `see the light' [that Brother Blud was their enemy]!
Raven [enraged] turned his anger against Blud, attacking HIM with his soul-self as the two fell back into Blud's blood-pool!
"Dick!" called Omen, rushing to his lover's side as he took Dick's head in his hands and gently touched foreheads...getting into his mind telepathically!
Dick resisted at first [totally believing he was a faithful follower of Blud's], but Omen was able to change his way of thinking...freeing him from the restraints placed upon his mind from Blud's temporary hypnosis!
Dick opened his eyes and recognized Kyle instantly...! The 2 hugged each other strongly, as Raven's black SOUL emerged from the blood-pit with a defeated Brother Blud..., tossing him to the cavern floor before retreating back into Raven's physical body!
"It's over!" smiled Kyle [helping Dick to his feet]!
"You think so, children...?" asked Blud, rolling onto his back [laughing]...!
"I haven't existed 400 years just to be thwarted by a bunch of CHILDREN...!"
"But you WERE, Blanche, -you WERE!" teased Garfield [quoting a line from `Whatever Happened To Baby Jane']...!
"Think again!" said Blud, pushing a button on his costume, as a faint `beeping' sound started to echo throughout the cavern...!
"What's that...?" asked Static [having finally come to HIS senses also]...!
"Sounds like a countdown...!" said Greyson [looking around for a bomb]!
"Explosives!" said Cyborg, noticing the charges taped to the walls all about the canon [through his inferred eye]! "We've only got SECONDS!" he said, as they all looked to one another as if to say `goodbye'...!
"Come to ME!" yelled Raven [able to teleport], as The Titans gathered up everybody that needed saving [Ollie and company] as they all gathered around Raven who summoned his inner powers to conjure a large puff of dark smoke around them before they suddenly vanished...!...leaving Brother Blud alone on the canon as he continued to laugh amongst himself...!
The charges beneath the church EXPLODED...causing the entire church to cave in and collapse IN on itself [burying Brother Blud beneath tons of rock and rubble]!
The Titans appeared outside on the lawns...as campus students and civilians started to gather around to watch the horror of their church being destroyed! Some of the witnesses started calling The Titans `murderers!' for killing their leader! But The Titans tried to explain that Brother Blud and his church was a falsehood, the shames of one man who used technology and hypnosis to create his god sense!
However it took Raven's soul-self to actually `cure' the followers of their beliefs, giving them back the freedom of MIND as they finally started to realize they'd been brainwashed!
After freeing the campus and most of the townsfolk...The Titans took to the air, leaving Bludhaven and its people to start living new lives of their own [without the haunt of Brother Blud]!
The jet soared back towards NY with Omen nursing Dick and Raven nursing Ollie [who was severely weakened by the drain of blood]! Cyborg flew the jet [mechanically], while Static acted as his copilot! They were celebrating a clear and decisive victory...when Garfield wandered up behind [in human form]...!
"I'm...sorry for tricking you into thinking I was a REAL dog...!" he apologized!
"Not now!" snarled Victor, not ready yet to have a conversation with the GUY who pretended to be an animal...!...a GUY who knew his deepest darkest secrets...a GUY whom he had SEX WITH as a dog!
"Get away from me!" yelled Victor, holding on tightly to the controls!
Static turned towards Garfield and said... "Give him TIME...!"
Garfield nodded as he turned to return to his seat, wishing he had never revealed he was a boy in the first place...!
NEARBY: Kyle was coddling Dick in his arms, holding a makeshift compress against his forehead, knowing he was still suffering from the brain-shock he went through earlier!
"Just relax, baby..." smoothed Kyle, holding Dick in his arms! "...it's over..., we won't ever have to worry about Brother Blud again!"
"I'm...not so sure..." said Dick [more to himself than to Kyle], reliving the memories Blud force-fed into his mind the moment they melded [last chapter]...!
:::FLASHBACK:::
Sebastian Blud arrived on The Mayflower with the other settlers of his time from Plymouth England [looking to make a new life in what would later be called: America]! Blud was the resident priest, quickly setting up shop as his Church of Blud was the first construct built, as many of the followers needed a place to pray and worship!
But as time passed, many of Blud's believers started disappearing! As months turned into years, they noticed he didn't age like the rest of them! Some started calling him a sorcerer', others a devil worshiper', with a large number of pilgrims deciding to kill the priest before his powers became too great!
However they underestimated Blud's abilities, as he had already hypnotized many of his followers to fight for him until their deaths! Many of his followers were killed in battle to protect Blud's church! Blud gained his powers by studying the mysticisms of The Indian Tribes they killed while conquering their lands! He learned of the mystical art of de-aging...however it imprisoned the user to the land he bounded to, causing instant death the moment let left the sacred ground [which was why Blud was forced to stay in Bludhaven Hew Hampshire all his life]!
Through the mystics he grained other talents and gifts, and time passed and old pilgrims passed on, their descendants became his flock, empowering him all the more as their fresh blood enhanced him timelessly!
:::END FLASHBACK:::
Raven recalled Blud fucking him deeply with his enhanced dick, plowing through his innards and leaving behind his special' seed..., predicting how their union' would spring forth a new prophet, -a stronger predecessor that would eventually take lead of The Church!
Of course Raven believed Blud's talk all hogwash, as he was a MALE and incapable of giving birth like a woman...!
The Titans flew along on their journey back to New York, back to where life made sense [for better or worse]...!...having no idea the TIES that still bound them to Blud and his unrelenting Church Of Evil...!
