Hey, what's this spooky dump? And where are my friends?
SStrike
I am Strike. Howdy, hero -- and toodle loo!
What, me?! I-I'm still just a hero in training.
SStrike
Yeah, I don't care. [activates his pen to destroy K.O. as he whimpers but Garnet saves him just in time]
Garnet
No time for introductions.
FAFour Arms
It's hideous!
Huh? Who are all these guys?
Garnet
They must be heroes that couldn't escape Strike's…strike. Let's keep moving.
FAFour Arms
Man, if Strike X'ed all these guys, he must be may stronger than I thought.
If all these heroes couldn't stop him, what could the three of us possibly do?
RRaven
[off-screen] Do what he isn't expecting, and go to his lair.
That's a great idea, Garnet!
Garnet
I didn't say anything, K.O.
FAFour Arms
Dude, did that honestly sound like my voice to you?
[gasps as he sees her stuck to the wall] A hero!
[runs over and tries to get her unstuck] You've got X'ed by Strike, but you can still talk and stuff?
RRaven
I got protection spell off just before he X'ed me. [Garnet punches the wall with her gauntlet, freeing her] Thanks…you?
Garnet
Garnet.
FAFour Arms
Four Arms -- and Ben -- and, like, a bunch of other guys, too --
Garnet
[covers Four Arms' mouth] We need to know who you are and what this place is.
RRaven
I'm part of a group of superheroes called the Teen Titans. My name's Raven. Uh, excuse me? ["Magician" changes to "half-Azarathian, half-demon sorceress"] That's better. Before I got X'ed out, I learned this used to be a great city of heroes, but Strike appeared and stole everyone's powers. He was still hungry, so he started summoning heroes from other dimensions to destroy. If we don't stop him, there'll be no heroes left…anywhere.
But why would he do something so cob-darn awful?
RRaven
Eh, it's his thing. It's what he does. He's like evil, you know pure evil or whatever.
FAFour Arms
Seems like this dude always has the element of surprise.
Garnet
Maybe we should surprise him, and ambush him at his lair.
RRaven
That was literally the first thing I said.
RRaven
Eh, I don't know. I was having such a great time as a lifeless statue.
[hugs Raven joyfully] Ooh, a new friend! You can be the brains of our team.
Hey, Raven? Where is this evil lair anyway?
RRaven
Over there -- the giant fortress just past the impassable chasm.
RRaven
Ehh. Still smarter than Beast Boy.
