TEEN TITANS: Awakening

The Titans walked along the same rock tunnel path as they did long ago. As the Titans reached the end of the tunnel, they saw something very familiar. The statue of Terra, their old friend.

"Cyborg, you have the antidote?" Robin asked. Cyborg opened up a compartment on his chest and pulled out a vile with a strange purple liquid in it. Robin took it from him and emptied the liquid into a special gun. "Are you sure this'll work?" Beast Boy asked. "It'll work." Raven assured him.

Robin aimed the gun and fired. A blast of purple energy rocketed at the statue. It made contact and the energy surrounded Terra's incased body. The staute started to glow brighter and brighter until the Titans could see the statue cracking apart. The purple energy faded as yellow energy flowed from the cracking statue.

The statue then burst into pieces. Then, standing in it's place was Terra. Beast Boy and Starfire were the first to run over and help. They got her down and held her up by her arms. Terra winced then opened her eyes fully. For the first time in ages, Terra saw her friends. "What's going on?" Terra asked weakly. "Oh, we have brought you back, dearest friend!" Starfire said, hugging Terra as hard as she could.

Terra looked confused. "You…forgive me?" she asked. "Mostly, but we're keeping an eye on you." Raven told her. Terra smiled and nodded. She was glad to be back. "But, I still don't get why you even revived me." Terra said. "After we saw you stand up to Slade before you sacrificed yourself, we knew you weren't completely evil." Beast Boy explained.

Even though Terra still didn't fully understand what her friends were doing, she decided it was best to just go on. They all headed back to the tower, Terra and Beast Boy hand in hand.

Terra plopped down on her old bed. It'd been two whole years since she'd been stuck as a statue. It was nice to be alive again. Beast Boy walked in and sat down next to her. "You ok?" he asked. Terra rolled over to face him, then sat up. "I'm just…a little confused." Terra answered.

"Even after all the horrible things I've done, you guys still revived me." Terra explained. Beast Boy put his arm around her, Terra resting her head on his shoulder. "We brought you back 'cause you're our friend and you always will be!" Beast Boy explained. Terra nodded. She lifted her head and looked into Beast Boy's eyes. He looked back as both their heads leaned closer together. They closed their eyes and…the emergency alarm went off.

The two Titans snapped back to reality and blushed. They got up and headed for the living room. Robin, Starfire and Cyborg were already waiting. "Who is it?" Terra asked. Robin pressed a few buttons and a picture of Slade appeared on the screen. Terra back up a few steps. "No…" she whispered as she fell to her knees, "But I thought…"

"A lot's happened since you were gone." Cyborg said, "We'll explain on the way." The Titans ran out of the room and into the Vehicle Room. Cyborg, Raven, Beast Boy and Terra jumped into the T-Car while Robin zoomed off on the R-Cycle with Starfire flying not to far behind. "Ok, I want details." Terra demanded. "Ok, well, apparently Raven's dad set Slade free and we kicked his butt so now he's just his old self again instead of shootin' fire from his hands." Cyborg explained. This conversation went on for 10 minutes until they'd gotten to their destination.

It was a clearing but not just any clearing. It was the clearing Robin and Starfire had ran to when Robin was having his Slade hallucinations. This time was different. Slade was standing in the middle of the clearing except everyone could see him. The Titans walked down, hoping to talk rather than fight. They got about 20 feet to him. "What do you want Slade?" Robin asked. Slade laughed a little under his mask.

"I just visited the old shrine earlier and noticed, my little girl was gone." Slade said calmly. Terra's eyes lit up. "I'm not your little girl anymore!" she yelled. Slade laughed. This only made Terra even angrier. She lifted a rock from the ground and forced it towards Slade. As the rock flew closer and closer, Slade just stood there. Slade bent backwards and the rock flew right over him.

The Titans eyes widened as the saw Slade easily dodge Terra's attack. "A little rusty, are we?" Slade asked. The Earth forced up under Terra and allowed her to surf toward Slade. He jumped up and kicked off the back of Terra's head, forcing her off the rock. Beast Boy morphed into a cheetah and morphed back just in time to catch Terra. "Titans, go!" Robin yelled. The other Titans zoomed toward Slade. Robin threw a couple Freeze Discs, Starfire fired off a swarm of starbolts and Raven lifted a tree up and forced it with the other attacks.

Slade landed but jumped back into the air. The attacks missed and collided with each other. Cyborg slammed right into Slade just as he reached the ground again. Slade tumbled a few times of the ground before getting up. He pressed a button on his belt and holographic copies appeared. "I got this one." Cyborg said. He charged up his sonic cannon and smashed it into the ground, causing a shockwave to go over the ground. The clones disappeared and the real Slade got knocked back.

Slade struggled to get up. Robin grabbed him by the neck and forced him to his knees. "Ok, Slade. Time to see who you really are!" Robin yelled. Slade's fist swung right into Robin's face, forcing him onto the ground. "Robin!" Starfire yelled, going to Robin's aid. "Another day, Titans!" Slade yelled. He threw a grenade to the ground and smoke went everywhere. Terra collected the dust up into a ball and put it back on the ground.

The Titans looked around but Slade had already left. Robin pounded the ground with his fist and got back up. "It's ok, man." Cyborg said, putting his hand on Robin's shoulder. Robin nodded and turned to the rest of the team. "C'mon." he said, walking out of the clearing. The others followed.

Back at the tower, Terra sat on top of the tower, staring at the sun go down. Beast Boy walked up and sat down next to her. "You ok?" he asked. Terra looked over. "It's weird." She said, "I've been alive for less than a day and the person who's responsible for my accident is loose again." Terra rested her head on her knees and sighed. "Don't worry, Slade'll be caught one day and you'll never have to worry about him again." Beast Boy assured her, "I promise."

Terra looked back up and smiled. The two Titans heads seemed to lean closer together. Their eyes closed and…Robin burst through the door to the roof. "Beast Boy, Terra, emergency!" Robin yelled. Terra nodded and Beast Boy let out an angry sigh. They both got up and followed Robin.

The Titans jumped out of their vehicles and onto the street. A man in a black samurai suit burst out of jewelry store and bumped right into the Titans.
