Downtown Titans II: New Recruits

The second Titans has to do with the Thirteen Minions reviving and improving (for lack of better words) Group 13, Making a new organization called "Group 13 A" led by Rico Suavez, Adam Nguyen, Jesus Moreno, Dry Bones, and Dry Bones's brother Drake Mark (Dark) Bones. Meanwhile, the Titans are up to trouble and stopping it at the same time. They realize that they have all been reported as missing. They all go back to their old homes to assure their safety. On their little trip, they meet a group of teenagers who take pleasure in reproducing the Titans' acts. The three boys, named Donatello Mario Fiero, Sparky Edward Lamprey, and Rod Ignatius Chiller, agree to undergo training to become official New Orleans Titans. Afterwards, the Downtown Titans visit TK's house. There, Snipe and Stench meet TK's twin sister, Crystal. Snipe sees Crystal as a very beautiful and entertaining young woman. Crystal, however, holds a bit of a grudge against Snipe for "dragging Tomas away from" her. What she doesn't realize is that Tomas left on his own will. As the rookie Titans begin their training, Snipe, Stench, and TK show their coaching side. Snipe purchases a pair of wrist blades, demonstrates combat with Battler, and deems Rod the Titans name Ratcicle. Stench and Sludge show Donatello how to spar and help him perfect his headbutt, and Stench deems him the name Magmadon. TK and Grimly help Sparky perfect his precision and accuracy with Sparky's wooden straw and darts, and TK deems him the name Eelectric. Then comes the final initiation. The rookies are to defeat any three Titans using what they have learned and using each other off the top of their heads. Eventually, the boys pass the initiation and earn the name the Mid-City Titans. Later on, Crystal finds the Downtown Titans in their little alley. Crystal tries to drag TK off while Snipe and Stench simply stand to watch what TK does. TK breaks loose and rebels, saying that Crystal is overreacting and that he will not come home under any circumstance. Crystal is infuriated by this and, of course, blames Snipe. She grabs a pipe, which just happened to be lying around and began attempting to beat Snipe with it. Snipe had too many reflexes for her and drew his sword and deflected Crystal's first blow. Eventually, Snipe was too charmed by Crystal and lost the fight. I don't have a clue what happens next but at one point, Crystal begins to show a little more respect towards Snipe, but then is kidnapped by Group 13 A. Snipe eventually finds her and attempts to free her. However, Suavez has a couple of surprises for Snipe. First, he has admitted Candida Corcuera, Soledad de la Torre, Zacarias Mora (ZaMora), and Antonio Peña (Toño) to the Thirteen Minions. He has also captured Snipe's "deceased" loved one, Carrie Madero. When Snipe is asked to choose which one to free he chooses Carrie. He then enters combat against Group 13 A and the Thirteen Minions. The three Titans groups soon join in. Snipe eventually convinces Toño and ZaMora to free Crystal. When asked by Crystal why he hadn't chosen to free her, Snipe responds, "Carrie wasn't worth fighting for." This phrase won Crystal over. After this story, Carrie is never heard from again...
