I had a bunch of pens all alike that were only used to write stories back when I did all my writing by hand. This was the last story that was written before they all ran out of ink and I never found anymore of them. This story has always been one of my favorites. Partly because Beast Boy finally starts to grow up-like we all have to do at some point. This was not meant to be some campy knock-off or re-write of the season 4 episode "Stranded." This story deals with some very serious issues-hence its rating. Other than taking it out of the script form I used to write in I don't intend to alter this one very much-it is a very personal story to me-in a way and as such I don't want to change it. This first chapter is mainly just a teaser for the rest of the story.
Crashing Down
Robin, Beast Boy, and Cyborg awaken in the wreckage of the t-ship.
"Did anyone get the license plate number of that asteroid that hit us?" Beast Boy stumbles out of the debris only to fall down on the ground.
"We were not hit by an asteroid." Starfire pushes away the badly damaged pod hatch as she climbs out of the wreckage.
Robin looks over the t-ship surveying the damage. "All the instruments went off line then it almost felt as if a shock wave of some sort hit us. We must have been hurled into the planet's atmosphere."
"And we crash landed on yet another planet. If we can get home-I'm never traveling to outer space in this thing again."
"Please do not give up the hope Beast Boy."
"Yeah, Star's right Beast Boy. If anyone cane fix this its Cyborg."
Starfire moves some of the wreckage. "But who will fix him?" She lifts Cyborg out of the wreckage and carries him over to Robin and Beast Boy.
Robin opens up a panel on Cyborg's back and takes a look. "I think he just got knocked off line like all the rest of the electronics." He stands back at Cyborg's systems come back on line. They all stand back watching Cyborg nervously.
Cyborg fixates immediately on the wreckage of the t-ship. "Aww man-not again! Just look at my baby-she's totaled!"
"Well-at least you're in one piece this time."
Cyborg glares at Beast Boy who sounds like he's been taking lessons in sarcasm from Raven. "Don't tell me that Raven found some more creepy little creatures to worship her."
"Perhaps she has not yet awakened. I shall go check." Starfire rushes off to the other side of the T-ship.
Robin turns to Cyborg who get up to survey the damage to the T-ship. "Think you can fix it?"
"Right now-it doesn't look very promise..." Cyborg looks up as Starfire shrieks.
The guys rush over to her. Beast Boy looks around-something clearly isn't right. "Where's Raven's pod?"
"Did she separate?" Robin watches Cyborg check out the damage on this side of the t-ship.
"The connections that attaches Raven's pod to the others are still in tact. It looks like the pod just broke off during the entry into the atmosphere."
Everyone rushes off in different directions to look for any sign of wreckage-but there are none to be found. Finally they all venture back together-but none are willing to voice what they fear has happened to their friend.
