Obsidian was in a huge warehouse, tossing boxes around and growling in anger periodically. He looked as though he was searching for something.

Starfire and Robin were crouched in the rafters. A green wolf slunk around on the floor between the crates. Raven was standing at the top of a pyramid of wooden boxes, her hood drawn over her face, her cloak fastened across her body. Cyborg was ducked behind another crate, waiting for the sound they were all used to hearing.

Robin's cry boomed through the caverous room.

"Titans - GO!"

Cyborg aimed a blue blast at the black-clothed intruder as Beast Boy morphed into a bull and charged. Raven swooped down from the sky and boxes began to turn black, lift and hurl themselves at the intruder. Starfire flew down, her eyes bright green, hurtling green blasts from her hands at the man. Robin swung down beside her, planting his feet solidly in the middle of the startled man's back, sending him flying towards Beast Boy, who morphed into an elephant and knocked the flying man aside with his trunk.

Obsidian heaved himself up from the floor where he had landed. His face was murderous.

"Get out of here - this is none of your business!"

They all ignored him completely, and Starfire blasted him backwards once more, with a blast from her eyes. She let out her fury with him for hurting her friend again and again as she rained blasts upon him, screaming with her anger.

"Dude!" Beast Boy called, shocked at her violent fury. "I thought I was the animal!"

Starfire let up, coming back from her mental place of anger and panting softly from her exertion.

Obsidian rose again, his eyes blackening, as if the pupils grew and swallowed up his whole eye. He raised his hand and fired a black blast at the Titans.

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos!"

Raven swept her hand in front of her and a black magic shield appeared in front of the teens. It deflected the blast back at Obsidian who leapt out of the way.

He snarled and fired more blasts at them, keeping on, driving them backwards. Raven shielded herself and levitated out of harm's way; Starfire flew around, dodging the blasts; Cyborg jumped for cover behind a pile of crates and Beast Boy morphed into a pteradactyl and launched into the rafters.

Robin flipped around wildly, evading the blasts. He flipped from the floor onto a pile of crates, to another, back to the floor, onto more crates.

Eventually Obsidian ceased the attack and rested his hands on his knees, panting heavily. Robin flipped through the air and kicked his opponant in the face, throwing him backwards against the wall.

Obsidian launched himself back into the air and knocked Robin backwards. He flipped in the air and landed on his feet in a crouch. He ran back towards Obsidian, but the villain suddenly was thrown sideways in an explosion of green light.

Starfire hovered above him, ready to hit him again. Obsidian moved his arm, and nobody noticed the tiny device fly out of his hand towards her but Robin.

"Starfire!" He yelled. "Look out!"

She whirled around in a circle but could not see the device in the dark room. Obsidian grinned sadistically.

A tiny red light flickered on the device as it flitted past Starfire, indicating its imminent activation. And Robin was willing to stake his mask on that activation being an explosion.

Before any of the other Titans had time to react, Robin shot a hook into the rafters and swung up towards Starfire, who was still frantically searching around her for the danger Robin had signalled.

He hit her with his feet, sending her tumbling through the air and crashing through one of the windows just before a tiny beep came from the still flying device.

An explosion ricocheted through the warehouse. The blast threw the other three Titans back against the walls. Raven stopped herself, floating high up in the rafters. Beast Boy morphed into a bird and flew over to Raven. Cyborg slid down the wall, crashing into a pyramid of crates and rubbing the back of his neck in pain as he sat amongt the splinters and wood shards.

Starfire shot back through the broken window she had crashed through moments before just in time to watch with the other Titans as their friend crashed to the floor.

"Robin!" Starfire cried. She dove through the air towards him, but was thrown off course by a weight crashing into her side.

She and Obsidian tumbled to the ground. She blasted him off of her. The two of them stood.

"You're next," he said menacingly, nodding towards Robin's inert form on the ground. He raised his fist, firing another black ray at her face.

Starfire lifted both hands and shot her own green blast back at him. The two rays of light met and joined together in a ball resembing lightning between the battling pair.

Starfire felt her resolve dwindle as she realized her power was waning. She glanced over at Robin, who was being leaned over by Raven, and her eyes flashed back to Obsidian's. They burned green and the energy radiating from her hands intensified.

The green light overcame the black and, with a bloodcurdling cry, Obsidian vanished in an explosion of black light that dissipated immediately and left no trace of its existance.

Starfire did not pause to register her shock over her loss of control before shooting over to where Robin lay, unmoving under Raven's glowing hands.
