A/N: Well..well...well...
Isn't this a surprise?
Another new story that Vampy is going to start and take forever to finish?
Darn right it is!
To my Darker Days readers: I am really really sorry that it took me seven months! That is how long my writers block on this story has been, only because I want to make this really good! Please forgive me! You will forgive me right? lol
To new readers, Welcome!...but you might want to check out Darker Days first. lol
Welcome to Darker Days II- Lost in Darkness (Named after Escape the Fate song)
Story Summary: Slade has ultimately won and achieved his secondary goal. The world is his to rule and Robin is still trapped as Slade's apprentice. Will Robin finally succumb to Slade and the darkness...becoming that perfect apprentice?
Rated M: Language, Violence
Main Characters:
Robin: former Boy Wonder, current apprentice and slave to Slade.
Slade: The invincible one eyed villain...and the ruler of the world!
Ivy: Was an OC...but could be considered as a different version of Poison Ivy.
Okay...I am going to do things a bit more differently then I did with the first Darker Days. I am going to do both first and third person for this story. First person wil be mostly from Robin's point of view. Occasionally or maybe Slade's...
Well, this is short and sweet...but hope you enjoy, nonetheless.
Disclaimer: I DO NOT own Teen Titans or DC Comics...because if I did...*laughs evilly*
Prolouge- After Thoughts
~Robin's POV~
This wasn't a dream or a nightmare…this was real. The world that I knew and cherished was gone…Obliterated by an incessant android army, a complex weather machine, and a mere single man. But this man was no ordinary man. He was a ruthless, devious, cunning, intelligent villain who would stop at nothing to get what he desired. The man was the only villain that I could never defeat, capture, and bring to justice.
As if that mattered anymore…
Slade, or Deathstroke the Terminator, now known to the remaining human population, had returned to Jump City…back into my life. He had tracked me down to Gotham and brought me back to Jump, coerced me into being his apprentice and of course, I had to accept. The stakes had been higher and I couldn't let Slade harm Raven or Starfire. Yet, my defiance caused more harm than good. Starfire and the others had paid the price for my stupid mistakes...
God, I missed them.
Beast Boy- The youngest of the group was also the most exuberant one. He wasn't afraid to be himself and he was comical, even though his jokes were stale, but he knew when to act serious and always put the team first. He was like a younger brother I never had.
Cyborg- While Beast Boy was a younger brother; Cyborg was an older brother to me. He was wise and stubborn like myself. He was a great person, never let anyone pushed him around, and didn't let his flaws get in his way. And he was a great leader, I immediately knew if I ever had to leave the Titans, Cyborg would take my place and lead the team well.
Raven- Raven was an amazing person, always strong and hopeful. She always seemed to be in control of herself, even though I knew she constantly struggled everyday to control her emotions and powers. I had always admired her for that. Even though she was as mysterious as I was, we trusted and held a large respect for each other, as well held a few special moments together.
Starfire- Oh Starfire…I loved her. Not just love, but deeply and passionately loved her. She was the one I would have spent the rest of my life with and and without hesitation, die for. Ever since meeting her that fateful night that I had came to Jump, I knew my life would never be the same. I loved everything about her…her beauty, her innocence, and her exuberant personality. She was also powerful and she wasn't afraid to fight for what she loved or show how she felt. I wanted to tell her how I felt…how much I cared for her, how much I loved her... but being who I was…I didn't, I fought against telling her, and now…it was too late…I had let her down. I had failed to protect her…I let Slade hurt her in a way that I could never make it to her. I will always hate myself for that...
Bruce- He was my mentor and my father. The one who had taken me in, gave me home, a life, and a family. He had done his best to raise me, along with Alfred, and taught me everything I knew and was always there for me. Both of them always had been. I had always admired Batman, he was my hero and I always sought for his approval, sought to be just like him. That was, until I grew older, as I grew tired of Gotham, and of being in his shadow. We began arguing constantly and then I finally packed up and left. Just like that, without a good bye and without being stopped. Yet, he had came for me…tried to save me from Slade. And in the end, not even Batman could save his Boy Wonder...
I was there as Slade arranged and executed his diabolical plan. I watched helplessly as towns, cities, and countries were attacked mercilessly and viciously by the weather and robots and fell to Slade. I watched helplessly as countless lives of the innocent were lost or destroyed. And I even watched helplessly as my own city and home exploded into a thick fiery sea of flames. ..
I had failed them all.
As a hero: The citizens and innocents who needed me to protect them. I wasn't there for them.
As a leader: My teammates and Honorary Titans had needed me, to come up with a plan and lead them through the ordeal or die trying, in which I would have gladly done, then to be stuck inside a historical building, safe and sound, with the villain who was behind all of it. I truly rather die in battle than having to be Slade's apprentice.
In the end, the people I cherished, the people I had sworn to protect, the people who I would have died for...were gone and it was my entire fault.
Now, I was alone in this hell that Slade created…and this was just the beginning.
If I had thought those dark days before were horrid, then I only can assumed now that Slade ruled the world, it was only going to get worse…much much worse...
A/N: Sorry for the shortness...but this was all I had.
Not sure when I'll be updating this...but yeah!
Please let me know what you think!
It will get better eventually! :)
