Legend of the Titans: Requiem Preview · 4:45am Sep 1st, 2013
Heyo! Here's a bit from Chapter II (technically Chapter I, not counting the prologue). Like all previews, it needs to be edited. The chapters should be up tomorrow, unless I decide to write Chapter III before the release. Dunno.
Ponyville
86th Cycle of Summer
Ponyville 'Bitsizer' Bank
...

...
BOOOOOOOOOM!.!.!
"EEEEEEP!"
"Everypony down! Get down!"
"Hooooohahaha!"
Without warning of any sort, a trio of ponies ripped through the front door of Ponyville's second bank, one coated in steel leading the trio. One grinned wickedly, the other glanced about smirking slightly, and the other merely giggled. The ponies within cowered with fright, leaping behind chairs: desks, anything to get out of their sights.
"Oh, relax," the smirking one chirped, a blue, frost-coated unicorn. "We're here for your money, not your lives."
The grinning one gave a laugh, a purple unicorn with a streak of black running down his back. "But if you try to make a move... believe me, I won't think twice."
The first rolled her eyes.
"Blood Rose, keep it cool," she said.
"Only if you stopped making puns, Frost Wind," Blood Rose teased, his voice echoing from a strange, smiling mask he always insisted on wearing.
She gave him a blank look. "Ugh, just because I'm a god at ice magic doesn't mean have to say 'no pun intended' every time I say something remotely related to the cold, does it?"
Blood Rose gave a silly smile, before pointing at the last accomplice, an Earth Pony covered, or perhaps made of metal. "Well, if you won't do it for me, at least do it for Nitro... he does sort of jump to conclusions once and a while..."
He gave a offended look. "Hey, I only knocked out one guy for making a pun! And I was drunk! Like Princess Luna on a full moon drunk!"
"You only had one drink," Blood Rose smirked. "You were just naive enough to succumb to the 'mimic effect', as I like to call it. Meaning: when hanging around people who have been drinking, when you drink, you start-"
Frost Breeze face-hoofed. "For god sake - we're in the middle of a robbery and you want to start psychoanalyzing ponies?! I had enough of that in planning. Seriously, my relationship with my mother sucked, and Nitro can't remember who his is!"
"Save for the cold, unfeeling mechanical arm that was hovering above me in the lab when I woke up," he shrugged. "Could that count?"
"Hey! It's a good skill," Blood Rose smirked, before pointing at a random pony shifting her eyes away from the door. "For instance: that pony is about to make a run for it. She thinks we're actually taking hostages and is purposefully looking away from the door because she's nervous we'll see her. Quite intruding."
She suddenly froze, gulping heavily. She was easily recognizable as Vinyl Scratch.
"Y-Yo," she gulped. "Y-You guys are the ones who should be nervous! Do you know who guards this town?!"
"Yeah, yeah," Nitro sighed. "The Teen Titans, we know. I can't wait to meat them... as turn them into mince-meat, hehehe."
Frost Breeze gazed at him blankly. "Nitro, that was a pun."
"Oh shit," he blinked in embarrassment.
"Mph, the Titans are legends," Frost Wind sighed. "If they even existed at all, they died long before we were born."
Nitro nodded. "Yeah! The Teeny Titans ain't that tough! They're just fakes - they're propaganda!"
"Likely created because of the recent crime waves," Blood Rose shrugged. "It's not the greatest way to deter those such as the Inglorious Basterds, but I suppose it isn't the worst, either."
"I can't believe we're using that name," Nitro grunted.
Frost Breeze sighed in shame. "And Nitro and the Speedeneers is any better?"
Nitro glanced about, frowning. "Well... I like the ring of it."
"Anyway, enough of this stalling," Blood Rose grunted, before glancing at the tellers. "If one of you fine ladies could lead us to the vault, we'll be on our way with minimal casualties." He narrowed his eyes. "And believe me, when you're dealing with someone such as I, you're getting the bargain deal..."
One of them gasped. "W-Well do it. P-Please, just don't hurt anypony!"
"Finally," Frost
"Hehehe, payday," Nitro smirked. "I'm gonna get me a few new toys from Sprinkles with this..."
At that, the three smiled, and began marching towards the terrified tellers, ready to collect their dues.
But before they could-
WOOSH-WOOSH-WOOSH-WOOSH-WOOSH-CHANNNNNNG!.!.!
- A bird-a-rang sailed right by them, striking into the counter of the teller's counter.
The trio's eyes widened, as they turned about. There, saturated in the light of the moon, and in the gigantic hole that was once a pair of doors, were the Teen Titans themselves. Robin was in the center of them, his mask narrowed in spite.
"Sorry to say it, Blood Rose, but nobody's gonna be buying what you're selling," Robin snapped.
"Oh hell," Frost Breeze moaned. "My unintentional puns are better than that..."
So did Spike eat Robin's mask or something?
1321079
think he meant to say 'spite' lel
1321090 That's the point of the joke.
Was that an Ain't No Rest For The Wicked reference?
Oooh. Looks promising.
