Ch. 3

Goodyear falls

We thought it was now over. That it couldn't get any worse. I for one was right about one thing. Gabe and Gabe only survived. For what ever reason, he was the only survivor. Robin made sure he was okay and took him inside a cave Raven made using broken bricks. But I didn't trust him. He seemed suspicious.

"It was a nightmare," Gabe told us shaking. "At first it was just a fire across the block. Then the earthquake came. The building fell down causing more buildings to go on fire. We didn't have time to escape. The earthquake was flattening all of the car tires. Water from the well started flooding town until we were trapped inside our houses. The fire was over whelming us. People that jumped into the water were carried by the tides until they reached the water treatment plant. The plant pulled people under water not allowing them to get up. They all drowned. People like me who stayed in their flaming homes were knocked out by the smoke. They didn't have time to get away. The buildings that fell killed them and took their dead bodies to the water treatment plant!" Gabe exploded with tears.

"That explains why there were no dead bodies around town," Robin said.

"Gabe," Raven asked? How did you survive?" Gabe wiped off his tears with his sleeve.

"I was knocked out when I was taking a shower. I was putting on my cloths when a building fell down on top of my apartment. It scrapped off half of my bathroom nearly hitting my nose. Then I jumped into the shower before my apartment fell…"

"Wait," I said smiling. "You said that you were taking a shower when this happened! How is that possible without electricity?" Raven and Robin both looked at him closely. Raven was trying to tell if he was lying.

"Well that is becau…" Gabe stopped speaking and let out a ton of uh's. "Wait I never said that," Gabe yelled. "Or did I? Oh man, I must have hit my head hard. I think I was taking a shower a few days ago. Do I got the past mixed up?" Gabe asked in a hillbilly tone that I never heard him speak before.

"It is passable that he got amnesia," Raven said still looking at him closely.

"But why is he the only survivor," Robin asked. "We have got to get his memory back!" I walked out of the cave rolling me eyes. I opened my communicator: 2:09. I yawned from saving so many lives today. I just wanted to find a bed and drift off. I was too exhausted too deal with him right now. I laid on a half destroyed mattress and looked at the green sky. What does it matter anyway? If tornadoes do end up forming, they couldn't take away anything else. The clouds were in the shape of Terra's head. I began to sob wondering where she is right now. Did she miss me? Did she ever think of me? Did she still like me? I put all thoughts away for the moment. I remembered that the rest of the state was still standing. For now anyway. We had to do everything we could to help the citizens out. Robin came up behind me and kneeled down at my side.

"It's time to go now," Robin said. "Raven estimated that the tornadoes will form in less than an hour. She couldn't stop it." I nodded and got up. Across the way; I could have sworn that I saw Terra, but then she was just gone. Another elusion I bet.

Robin and I walked, and then swam back to the T tower. I was humiliated for doing it. But I had to save up my left over energy for when people needed my help.

When we got to our old home, we noticed the boat/car thing Cyborg built was floating in the water still. We climbed aboard the red automobile and drove over to the next city. We found it in ruins and continued to the next. 3 towns later, we found one still standing at a city called Goodyear. People were all huddled over at a soccer field where if another earthquake came, nothing could fall on them. When they noticed us, they began too hope again.

"It's the Teen Titans here to rescue us," one girl said with tears of joy. We didn't have time to take autographs so Robin got to the point.

"Now you all know that this earthquake has caused a lot of damage, but now it is time to put that behind us. Each and every one of you will need to go into the sewer for protection against the tornadoes that are going to come!"

"But what if another earthquake comes? We won't have time to get out before it crushes up," said a distressed old man.

"Then I suggest you stay next to a ladder than! Now let's get moving," Robin yelled. Everyone unwillingly climbed into the sewer. They split up into 20 groups each containing 20 people. They went into a different part of the sewer so it wouldn't take as long to get out if an earthquake happened. We both smiled at our ingenious plan.

"You know," I said grinning. "I actually thought of a good plan this time!"

"Yeah," he said also grinning. "I got too give you credit on this one. You have such a smart mind. I so jealous of you right now!"

"Yep, they always ar…" I didn't have time to finish. Another earthquake hit. And a big one. People ran out of the sewer. They didn't even have time to climb the ladder. They just jumped, grabbed a hold of the street, and pulled them selves up. The only problem was some people fell down inside the sewer and the earthquake didn't allow them to get up. I got the idea to turn into an octopus and pull them out, but I couldn't remain standing either. The street fell into the sewer. Some people died of being crushed. Others were pushed into the gross water. (They all drowned.) The Earthquake stopped finally. We started off having 400 people, now we only had 72. The citizens all broke out in a crying fit. Robin and I just bowed our heads.

"Don't you remember," Robin asked. "This was your idea. It turns out all your ideas do end up in failure. Any more of them because I'm stumped." I shook my head. This earthquake was our biggest disaster because it was caused by use. I thought it couldn't get any worse until once again I was proved wrong. (I hate the weather!)

A tornado came out of nowhere. It had to be at least 2 miles long and started off only 2 towns away. With no protection, these 72 people were going to die. We all watched in fear. People were hopping into their cars hoping another earthquake wouldn't come while they were driving. Only one problem; the earthquake flattened their tires. All the shaking opened the air valve on the tires and let all the air out. Even on the car Cy built it was like that. I thought as hard as I could. No animal could carry all these people and go fast enough to outrun the tornado at the same time. If only we had Raven!

We just watched as it came closer and closer. Bricks, cars, mattresses, tables, chairs, ect. Where flying around hitting people. I always liked a good game of, 'dodge house,' but now wasn't the time. On my left was a mountain about half a mile away. So I thought fast and flew over there bald eagle style.

I turned into a dog, (a cut one I must say), and dug into the side of the mountain. The limited time I had only allowed me to make the tunnel 13 feet long. I flew back to the city, (hawk style), and met up with Robin.

"Get to the mountain and make the mighty fine hole I dug deeper," I yelled to him over the wind. He didn't hesitate. He ran over to the mountain, (boring old human style), why'll I turned into a pterodactyl and carried people 5 at a time up to the mountain.

By the time I got all 72 people by the cave, Robin has used his explosives to make it 32 feet long. And at the end of the tunnel, he made it 10 by 10 feet wide. Plus, even made a couch, chair, and table out of loose bricks and some glue he found. We all ran inside once he was done. Once again, there was a problem. Robin left an explosive over by the entrance. So when the tornado blew a brick over to the mountain, it rolled until it barely tapped it. A big boom caused us to be sealed in. The tornado blew right past us over to the already destroyed cities.

"Hey Beastboy," Robin said.

"Yeah?"

"Do you want to take the credit for this one?"

"Nah," I said. "I think I'm good on this one.

"So are you going to dig us out of here or what?"

"Oh yeah," I responded. I looked around in the darkness. Robin lit a match and put the flame over some wood the tornado blew in before ROBIN sealed it! "Hey. Where is the entrance again," I asked? We were standing in a cave where all the sides were the same length. 10 by 10 feet. No one couldn't tell which way the entrance is. I even asked everyone, and they didn't remember.

"Just take your best guess," Robin said. I grabbed one of Robins explosives I found on the ground and was about to plunge it at the wall. "Don't do that," Robin yelled. "We can't risk a cave in!" I nodded. I eventually just turned into a dog again and began to dig into one of the sides until I reached 32 feet long. I was exhausted before I was even done with the first side. I turned into a human and laid down for a while.

"We need Terra," I murmured too myself.

15 minutes later and I only recovered half my energy. The oxygen was getting thinner by the minute. People were digging on each side while I rested. The fire was almost out from the lack of wood and no wind to make the fire stay lit. I looked at my communicator. It was 3:46. We were going to die in a stupid cave! But suddenly, I got an idea.

"Every one under the table," I yelled forcing my self up. I knew there wasn't enough room for everyone to fit, but it was our only chance. Robin moved the chair and the rocky couch next to the table. The people were forced to lie down under the object as flat as passable. The idea was fat people on bottom, Adults on top of them, then teens, then kids. There were only 2 kids, but still. They all barely fat under the objects. They were all yelling out in pain. (Especially the people on bottom.)

Robin was next to me waiting for my brilliant plan to happen already. And it did. I turned into a rhino, and charged at the side that was most likely to be the way out. I ran right through no problem creating only a little cave in. Moon light was revealed inside the cave blinding us for a short moment. I had a massive head ache when I was human again. I gave Robin thumbs up. He rolled his eyes at me.

After everyone was up and ready, they walked out side. Who knew? Now it looked like a dump. Once an amazingly big city, now a ruined one. All the buildings were fallen and destroyed. All the people who were in their homes died!

We told everyone to get back in the tunnel, but to stay by the opening in case an earthquake comes. We couldn't do anything now. We couldn't save anyone else because besides these 72 people, they were all dead. We walked away from the people and they waved goodbye to us. I knew that they could save them selves now, but I still wanted to help out. I turned into a cheetah and Robin leaped on my back. I ran back home.

New York City was like a dump too. Everything was thrown to the side making it look like a deserted dessert. The only thing that still stayed standing was the tent Raven made. We walked in and sat down on the ground. I wiped off Gabe's germs before sitting on a magazine cover. Then something occurred to me. I stood up and stared at the magazine. It had Terra on it! I read the small description of her.

Just a small town girl ends up being caught by the police stealing diamonds at a jewelry store. The police officer was then killed by an unsolved reason! Did she kill him? Where is she now? Go to page 18 for more details.

I almost died when I found out that it was just the cover. I needed to know where she is! She didn't kill him! She wouldn't! And she wouldn't steal either! I quietly sobbed missing her so much now. Robin and Raven didn't bother asking me why I was crying. They just looked at the magazine and understood why.

A few moments later, there was a sound like fire works. We all ran out side too see what the racket was. There was an explosion at the power plant. The water finally made it to the plant and caused it to explode. We all watched in horror. The plant was 20 miles away, but the explosion was so big. It lid up the entire city. We all walked back inside to sad to admit that we forgot all about the water. I sure hope Cyborg and Starfire weren't still there!

No one said anything! But I could tell what they were all thinking. We finally failed. The curse of 2012 was too much for the teen titans. Now our failure has caused the world to end! Or… Has it?

Dramatic ending!!! Sorry, but I had to add, "Or… Has it?" To the end so people wouldn't think it was the last chapter. So; what did you think of it? You can tell me by… I don't… Leaving a review! Oh, and don't worry; Terra will show up soon. And Aqualad will show up again as well.
