Chapter 5: Base 1, Michelle's Alliance

Beast Boy's POV

     Okay, so Ashley, Starfire, and Robin appearing out of thin air wasn't as weird as it would have been, because I was kinda starting to get used to it. But then, this tall, black-haired, green-eyed dude about our age drops out of the sky on a flying horse with another flying horse tied to his. His horse had green eyes and was black with white socks. [A/N: the white markings on a horse's legs that look like stockings/socks.] The other horse had yellow eyes and was a sandy color. They both had huge wings the same color as their pelts.

     "Whoa!" I ran behind Robin. "Dudes! What are those?! Who is that?!" Then Terra appeared, and the dude got off his horse. And Terra hugged him and then she untied the sandy horse from the dude's horse and tied it to a post outside the theater. The dude waved at us and started playing with his bow.

     "This is Hunter. You guys look like you've never seen a pegasus. This is Gaea. She's my pegasus. Gaea is Greek for 'Earth' or 'Mother Earth'." She said, patting her horse. Er... pegasus. I came to my senses and hugged her.

     "Terra! You're unstoned!" I yelled. Raven gave her a small half-smile and an even smaller half-hug. Cyborg patted her back.

     "Well alright!" Cyborg said.

     "How did you get out? I looked through all my books from my room and couldn't find anything." Raven said.

     "Ashley. Ask her, she can explain better." Terra said. Ashley sighed and made Cy, Raven, and me come to her. I got confused and asked her to give the short and simple story then give Raven the long and complicated one. She told me and I walked away.

     "Hey, so you're Hunter, right?" I asked Hunter.

      "Yeah. You must be Beast Boy."

     "Yep. So you ride flying horses?"

      "Yeah. His name is Eagle-Eye."

     "Cool. So I can turn into animals."

     "Cool. I use..." (conversation continues)

Raven's POV

     Terra was freed by Nabican power. But wouldn't that bind her to Tawaii?  Terra said Hunter had pledged himself to Tawaii as 'the Hunter'. Was Terra going to pledge herself out of gratitude, or had she already?

     "Are you going to pledge yourself to Tawaii?" I asked.

     "I will, as 'Earthmover', but the ceromony will be in Tawaii. It's after you guys tour Base 1. But be quiet about Ashley being the Empress, please. Robin doesn't need to know yet."

     "Okay, so... why are you joining Tawaii? I mean, usually people agree after being there. Then they are evaluated to see what species they should be gifted as. How is she going to do it?" I questioned.

     "Well, even if Hunter hadn't pledged himself, I would have because she freed me. It was a no-brainer whether I would agree or not. Since Hunter will be able to morph into a Nabican tiger, Ashley's going to make me one too. She let Hunter wait so we could be fully pledged together." She smiled.

     "Nice. I'm guessing Hunter's going to be your mate in Tawaii?" I asked.

     "Um... well, yeah..." Terra shifted nervously. "In Tawaii, we're going to be two years old in Nabican years, which is when you're considered of age. If we die, or almost die, we can just turn into a Nabican, and go live in Tawaii." Terra smiled again. Hunter, apparently tired of the guarded conversation with Beast Boy, came over and threw his arm over Terra's shoulders. Beast Boy put his arm around my waist protectively. It felt like a stand-off until Hunter spoke.

     "So, I hear you guys are going to see a movie. Let's do it." Hunter said, holding Terra's hand. "This way, my dear." We were the only ones outside the theater. I turned to Beast Boy.

      "Don't be so tense. Calm down. He's not going to hurt us. Besides, he's not my type." I reassured him. "Come on, let's go. You should  enjoy this." As we walked inside, I noticed he was still a little stiff, so I sighed inwardly and used my last resort. "We can get smoothies afterwards and eat tofu burgers if you like. I'll even let you pick a movie." He perked up.

     "Sounds like fun! We don't need to eat hamburgers, though. And I think this is enough movie. I'll let you pick a book for me to read. Uh, but just make sure I can read it. I don't know the same languages as you." I smiled.

     "Fine with me." It really was. I got to spend with a happy, care-free Beast Boy. Although no one else noticed, I had also stopped the Beast [see "The Beast Within" episode] from coming out. It happens when Beast Boy feels I'm threatened. Of course, my perfect day was ruined when I was woken early the next morning by Ashley. At least it wouldn't take long. She wouldn't give us a full tour... would she?

      "Rise and shine!" Ashley yelled.

Ashley's POV

       They groaned and rubbed their eyes. Of course, Beast Boy was still snoring, and Starfire was already awake. I made a megaphone materialize in my hand and clicked it on. I stomped over to BB and placed it close to his ear.

      "WAKE UP BEAST BOY!!!" I yelled in the megaphone. BB yelled in surprised and toppled over into the floor. I'm glad I stepped out of the way.

      "Huh?! Wha?!" BB looked disoriented, rubbing his head. I grinned and hoisted the megaphone.

      "Get moving! You have... 30 minutes! Go go go!" Everyone but Starfire shot out of the room. I twirled the megaphone and it disappeared. I winked at Starfire.

      "That is how you wake the troops. Military style. It does the job!" I proclaimed.

      "But, is that not considered a, 'rude awakening', in Earth terms?"

      "Nah. They get what they signed up for." I grinned impudently. It was the truth. Twenty-five minutes later, the other Titans had assembled around the sofa. "Ready?" I asked. I teleported us to Base 1. Terra looked amused when Beast Boy and Cyborg staggered and fell over in a heap. Hunter was in the stables, but he'd join us in a moment. I looked around for Alex and Jordan.

      "Here!" They shouted as they came running towards us. Alex rolled his eyes and flipped his hair as he looked at BB and Cy.

Jordan quietly stood behind Ashley with headphones on. Her music was so loud you could actually hear what the lyrics were if you listened closely. She spoke up suddenly.

      "Well, Lesson 1, get up when an officer or higher-ranking member comes up. Well, we're actually Council members, so we rank as high as Ashley. Up! We've got a tour to take! On your feet!" Jordan barked in true drill sargent fashion.

      "The reason there's so many officers here is because we have a large group. We're taking the Animorphs and the Redwallers too." I said.

      "We're getting the whole tour?" Raven looked surprised.

      "Yep. It's gonna take awhile, though." I said cheerfully. Raven didn't look cheerful about it. Actually, the Animorphs and the Redwallers had volunteered to be the practice groups for Terra and Hunter's tour guide training. The Animorphs and Redwallers arrived and I clapped my hands together once. Hunter ran up, panting.

      "Now, for the tour!" I said. "Hunter, Terra! You guys have the Animorphs! Alex, Jordan, you have the Redwallers! I've got the Titans! Remember, you're assigned to a group so you know who you're helping! We all co-tour! Let's go!" I barked out the orders and the tour group was assembled. Jordan slipped behind to make sure there weren't any stragglers. I set out on a quick march. We would slow down later. I opened the entry door and held it open. The Titan's tour had begun.

Robin's POV

      And I thought the entry room was cool. I walked into a very long hallway that seemed to have other hallways branching off at intervals. The floor was linoleum, but it was one long sheet instead of tiles. It was brightly lit and there were several computers along the walls. There were many doors with a plaque beside each one.

      "These are offices. The one to the right of the entry is mine. The floor is Harlanite ichor crystal. It may look like linoleum, but it is certainly not. It's stronger, prettier, and not to mention cleaner!" Ashley said happily. She was a bit... enthusiastic. Over the top, I thought... And then there was that box... "If you look over the hallways, it tells you what's in the hallway. This is, obviously, the Office Building." As we walked, we passed hallways like, 'School', 'Science', 'Technology', 'Defense', 'Communications', 'Villain Records', and 'Dormitories'. We stopped at the last hallway, 'Training'. I looked down to the other side of the building. This was going to take awhile. We went down the Training hallway.

      "So, what is this for?" Jake asked. An instructor waved at him, and he waved back. Apparently, they had already had the tour, and had settled in. So, it was just my team that was new here.

      "Glad you asked," chirped Terra, oblivious to the instructor. "This is where we train our heroes. If you needed to improve a skill, or learn a new one, you would come here to learn it." She smiled brightly. "I spent a lot of time down here learning martial arts and chess. Like I said, any skill you want." They nodded. At that moment, Ballrine and some other people burst out of the door labeled 'Chemistry Lab'.

      "What kind of chemicals did you use?!" The instructor yelled. her name tag said 'Heather, Chemist'. Heather the Chemist looked angry.

      "Umm... Magenta and... um... polassiam... I think." Ballrine said.

      "You mean magnesium and potassium! You don't just dump random ingredients in the beakers!" Heather stomped over to the button by the door and hit it with her fist. The air cleared immediately and she pointed into the classroom. The class trudged back in, but Heather stopped Ballrine. She scribbled something on a peice of paper and handed it to Ballrine. She stalked into her classroom and slammed the door. Ballrine waved at Ashley.

      "I got expelled from another class! Here's the note. What now?" Ballrine said, seeming to not care that she had gotten kicked out of chemistry. Ashley sighed.

      "Just go to gardening for now. I'll sort this out tonight and put you in ballet again or something tomorrow." Ballrine skipped off and Ashley crushed the note in her hand. It ignited and disintegrated into nothing. "Let's move on. How about we take a stroll down the school halls?" I'm not going to give you full details of the rest of the uneventful tour, except for a few spills of strange substances, a few explosions here and there, and stepping in pegasus you-know-what. The tour was so long, we had to sleep in the dormitories.

      "Oh, yeah. It's really late, so you guys should bunk down in the dormitories. Mary will show you to your rooms. Goodnight." Ashley said, walking off. She seemed in a hurry. Mary led us to our rooms. The door was labeled 'Teen Titans'. Mary handed each of the others a MA communicator.

      "Zese give you ze code to get in. Velcome to MA." We nodded.

      I opened my communicator. I looked through it for the code. The code popped up immediately for the others when they opened theirs. By the time I found it, the others were already inside. Starfire was waiting for me in the doorway. I punched the code in and scanned my hand. There, it had my handprint. I snapped my communicator shut and went in with Star. It looked like a lobby, like at our tower. There were seven doors, each of them labeled. They were: 'Robin' and 'Starfire' were on the left, 'Beast Boy' and 'Raven' were on the right, and 'Cyborg', 'Bathroom', and 'Kitchen' were across from where I stood. The TV was a large flat screen stretching several feet, and the sofa was like the one at the tower.

     "Nice!" Cyborg exclaimed as he went through the sliding doors leading to the kitchen. "Awesome!" Cy yelled as he scanned his hand and it slid open, he entered, exclaiming, "Booyah!" The bathroom door opened manually, but all the other doors were sliding doors. I walked over to my room and scanned my hand. The others did likewise to their rooms.

     "Whoa." Star's doorway was beside mine for a reason. The rooms were combined. Star had an easel, a high-tech computer, a purple loveseat, a bookshelf, and a Tamaranian dog laying on a large purple cushion on her side. My side had a computer, an evidence table with tracking technology, and a fitness area in the corner complete with a punching bag, a weight-lifting bench, and barbels. There was a large bed in the center and the computers were on the same desk side by side. There was a closet on each side. Star was already petting the dog. She looked at the tag on his collar.

     "His name is Jorvunder!" Star proclaimed happily. I smiled and walked out into the lobby.

     "How are your rooms?" I asked BB and Raven.

     "Pretty cool. But you should say, 'how is your room?', cause they're combined. Rae's side is kinda scary though and mine is... clean." BB said. Raven was on the sofa reading a book.

     "So was ours, except for the scary part. Her side is more on the... cheerful side." I said. BB started laughing.

     "Her side was more on the cheerful side! Hahaha! Good one!"

     "Um... that wasn't meant to be funny, Beast Boy." I remarked drily.

     "It wasn't?"

     "No."

     "Are you sure?"

     "Yes."

     "Are you positive?"

     "Yes, Beast Boy."

     "Are you really, really sure?"

     "Beast Boy!"
