It was like any normal night for the five young heroes of jump city. A green dog pouted in the corner while watching his robotic friend victory dancing, a dark blue hooded figure sat levitating above the couch with eyes glued to a leather bound novel, the leader of the group sat at the computer reading up on the latest news, and a bright green eyed girl laid in bed tossing around …wait, that wasn't normal. Starfire really wasn't normal when you consider that she drinks mustard, can be overly happy, has a mutant larva for a pet, and the way she talks, but that was normal for Starfire. Starfire asleep this early having a very fitful sleep, was not normal.

"Take that you grass stain!" Cyborg shouted as he took the lead in their video game rematch. He smiled widely as he was in front. The 'grass stain' sulked and tried to pass his team mate.

"Oh no Cy, you're not winning this time!" With that Beast Boy swung his car wide around the track and won. Jumping up in the air in victory he looked over to Cyborg.

"Looks like you're getting rusty tin man! I just kicked your but!"

"There's about to be some but kickin! Best two out of three...unless you're chicken." Cyborg smirked

"You're on!" Within seconds the video game war continued. Raven glanced up from her book and shook her head at the boys, some things will never change. Her eyes then switched over to Robin. He seemed to be closing down the computer hopefully, for his sake, he was done working. Raven then noticed that out of all the vibes she was picking up out of the room one was missing. She looked around the room in search for the missing titan unable to feel her. She turned to everybody.

"Where's Starfire?" Robin looked around a noticed the absence. The last time he saw her was when they were at the pizza parlor after taking down Plasmus. She didn't look like she was feeling too well, but when he asked if she was okay she smile and said that all was fine. Was she?

"I'll go look for her." Robin said as he got up and walked out of the room. He walked down the hallway and took a left turn down another. This walk was nothing new to him. When he reached the door he brought his hand up to knock but was startled by a scream of pain that came through the door.

Star's POV

~Dream~

Where am I?

I do not recall falling asleep in a place so…dreary.

I looked around and saw darkness and fog. The night sky hid the stars but as far as I could see none where there. I heard a shift behind me along with a soft laugh. I turned around, starbolts at the ready, and my eyes glowing, ready for anything.

Nothing was there.

I lowered my arms, but continued to keep light flowing from my hand. There's something about this place that's not right, there's something…wicked about it. I heard the noise again and turned around only to become face to face with bright yellow eyes and a sneer. I jumped back only to have the man grab both my wrists.

"Please, let me go now!" I said with fear evident in my voice. I was met with a laugh that froze my blood. All I knew was that I had to get away from him. I sent energy to my hands and shot my starbolts at him…he still didn't let go. The fear that shook through my body was unimaginable. Not ever have I felt this terrified not even when…NO! I would not allow myself to bring up such things. Just the small thought of that memory sent the tears pouring down my face. I twisted in the deadly clutches that were now bruising my wrists. I then realized that was the right word, deadly. The man in front of me had it seething through his eyes and teeth.

"What is it that you want?!" He threw me to the ground and began circling around me.

"My dear, it should be obvious that what I am looking for is right before me."

"I do not understand!" He replied by sending an energy much like my starbolt at me which hit me with such a strong force that I was sent flying back into a stone wall. A stone wall? I felt behind me and noticed carved letters in the polished rock. In front of me was the eerie fog that my eyes could not see through, and somewhere behind it was that man. I slowly rose to my feet not daring to give into my curiosity and read the stone. As I stood I noticed that the stone was not just flat it was a sculpture, but of what? Right when I was about to chance a look another flash of energy stuck me in the chest sending me crumbling to my knees. I tried to release more energy to my fists , but found it impossible. I was too frightened and because of it I was defenseless.

"If you do not understand then allow me to clear things up for you." The man emerged through the fog and snapped his fingers. At his command the fog disappeared and what stood all around me did not help with the fear I felt. It was a graveyard.

"You see my name is Chaos and my name is just what I cause. In order for me too cause such mayhem though I require a power source." He deep voice paused as he sent another ball of energy at me. I was thrown from my knees back to the wall again. My head had hit the stone and I could feel a small tickle of blood sliding down my neck. I lifted my dazed eyes back up to Chaos who stood right before me .He lowered himself to my level, took his thumb, and stroked my cheek.

"This energy of mine is only a tenth of what it should be, but with you I can change that." He smiled as I slapped his hand away.

"Never will I help one who is evil." This only caused him to laugh as he picked me up by my throat. I put my hands on top of his and struggled to free myself.

"You have no choice Starfire. You will bring chaos to your world." My eyes widened and I saw images of death and despair flash through my mind

"Make it stop!" I begged and he dropped me to the ground gasping for breath. He turned to the stone which had a small stain of blood on it, my blood. I looked up to the sculpture to see a figurine as scary as Chaos. It carried a scythe and looked like death. On this world I believe he is called the reaper. Chaos walked to the figure and took the scythe from his stone grasp the turned to me and shrugged.

"As you ask." He stepped forward, swung high and then brought the scythe down across my chest. I screamed as pain erupted across my chest. I remember his smile as I felt the nightmarish world disappear.

Robin's POV

I heard Star's scream pierce through my ears and banged on the door.

"Starfire!" I heard absolutely nothing from the room as I entered the override code into the access panel. The doors flew open and my eyes met with a pair of glowing yellow orbs that were standing over a very limp body. I pulled out my bio staff and was going to strike when he waved his hand goodbye and began to disappear. He smirked as he looked to Star.

"Until next time princess."

"What did you do to Starfire?!" I shouted in anger, but he was gone. I ran to the side of the bed and looked at Star's pale face. I put my ear to chest to listen for a heart beat…there wasn't one. I quickly lifted my head up and picked her up bridal style. Setting her on the ground noting that my ear was wet. I quickly felt it only to find a red sticky substance, blood. I felt panic run threw my veins as I began performing CPR. In between breathes I kept whispering to her 'Please be okay' 'Don't leave me Star' 'I need you', but none of my words would help her.

"Cyborg!!Raven!!! BeastBoy!!!! Somebody Help!!!!!" Tears were steadily pouring from my mask and onto my bloodied hands as I heard the running foot steps of my team mates.
