Like this so far? After I finish this, I plan to write a KidflashxJinx story. I only hope it turns out as well as some of the others I've read. But anyway, on with the show. In this chapter, you will see many, many Titans. Keep on reading, and please, for my sake, review!

I don't own any characters besides the ones I make up.

Sister, Where Art Thou? Part Three

I miss you too.

Terra stared at Beast Boy from inside her granite prison. She couldn't speak, move, or do any manner of things besides see and be aware of what was going on around her. But she did feel the pain.

As Beast Boy hugged her and cried, Terra wanted to hug him back and tell him everything was okay. But she couldn't, because it wasn't. And it was all because of Slade.

Or, perhaps it was all her fault. After all, she was the one who joined Slade and betrayed the Titans. She had brought this upon herself. Yes, the fault was hers, without a doubt.

This is why, when Beast Boy turned to leave, the intensity of her sorrow caused her to shed a tear. It only existed for a second before it, too, was turned to stone.

Little did Terra know that this visit from Beast Boy was to mark the beginning of a stunning chain of events. A few minutes later, a pair of people entered her chamber. One was a tall, muscular man. The other was a boy that looked two, perhaps three years older than her. The boy began running toward her and eventually halted right in front of her. He stared at her with a shocked look on his face. If Terra hadn't been a hunk of rock at the time, she would've had the same look.

This boy was her long-lost brother, Terrane. She'd recognize that face anywhere. He had been her first friend, and her only friend when she was young. Their parents had been killed when Terra was only two. They looked out for each other then, discovering their powers in the process. They gave themselves new names to match the powers. Tara changed to Terra, and Terrance changed to Terrane.

They didn't stay together long, though. One day, Terra was kidnapped. Terrane, struck by sorrow and self-hatred, had started down the criminal road there and then. He lost contact with Terra for more than ten years.

The next time Terrane heard of Terra was in Jump City, about two years ago. She had joined the Teen Titans. She would be serving her city as a hero. Terrane had already dug his heels into the life of crime. He couldn't be a hero now. So he decided to keep a watchful eye on her from the crowd.

After a few months or so, Terrane heard that Terra had been betraying the Titans all along. After that, he stopped hearing about her altogether. He began to worry. He had lost her once already; he didn't want to lose her again. From that point on, he made it his number one goal to find her.

Now here he was, staring her right in the face. Little sister had grown up and gotten herself into big trouble. After a moment of staring at her, Terrane asked the man (Terra had nearly forgotten about him), "What…is this?"

The figure emerged from the darkness. Terra was almost as shocked to see this one. Not possible…I took care of you…how are you here? Why are you here?

The figure, of course, was Slade. After looking her over for a while, he lied to Terrane. "They must have done this…the Titans. They must have defeated her in battle and made her this way somehow. Then they put her on this pedestal as some kind of trophy."

Terra wanted to attack Slade. She wanted to get him back for what he had done to her, and what he was now doing to her brother. Then, suddenly, Terrane hugged her. She felt his power rushing through him. He was trying to bring her back. She tried to use her powers and help him, but it was useless. She couldn't do anything to help him. And so, he turned back to Slade, who asked him what he was going to do.

"Can you help me get her back?"

"Of course."

No! He's lying! Stop, Terrane!

"Good. I have another request, though."

"Yes?"

"May I destroy the Teen Titans?"

Terra had seen Slade enough to know when he was wearing a devilish smile under his mask. He was undoubtedly doing that right now. "I would have it no other way."

No…Terrane…

She wanted to do something. But what could she do? She was a statue, useless to everyone. All she could do, though she hated to admit it, was wait until the events played out. Perhaps, once Terrane freed her, she could convince him otherwise. Hopefully, that would be before he destroyed the Titans.

Terra's wish wasn't ever realized. The next time someone came down to her chamber, they were fighting. One was definitely Terrane, as shards of stone were being flung everywhere. It took her a while to recognize the second person: Beast Boy was the one fighting Terrane. No…it's too late. Terra could only watch in agony as her brother fought her best friend. As they fought, she noticed that the other Titans weren't there. Had Terrane already laid waste to them? She didn't even want to think about it.

Just when it looked like Beast Boy was going to escape, a large stone knight dropped through the ceiling, grabbing him with both arms. Just as Terrane was about to finish him, Terra noticed a boulder falling directly over her. But she wasn't too worried. She somehow knew that she was the first priority of both men. They, however, didn't know that.

As both Terrane and Beast Boy went to save Terra's statue, Terrane seemed to come to a shocking realization. Beast Boy wanted to protect Terra, which didn't make sense according to what Slade had told him. He ran off, swearing that he'd destroy the Titans for what they'd done to his sister. This brought Beast Boy to a shocking realization as well: Terra had a brother.

So now here they were, alone. Beast Boy sat down, catching his breath. He looked back at Terra. "You never told me you had family. This brother of yours is trouble, though. I just hope my friends are alright after what he did to them."

Terra's fears had been realized with that sentence. So he had taken them out…this was terrible. In retrospect, it was her fault. If she wasn't a statue, she could've convinced Terrane otherwise. But she couldn't, not like this.

Beast Boy continued. "I think we may be after the same thing. But for some reason, he thinks we did this to you. Someone must have tricked him." He got up. "I have to find him. Maybe with his help, I can bring you back, Terra. But I'll need help finding him first." He turned around and put his hand on Terra's shoulder. "Don't worry, Terra. I'll make sure things come out all right. You can count on me."

Terra had had her doubts before, but now, just hearing Beast Boy say it made her believe that he could do it. As he turned to leave, he said, "I'm worried about my friends, but excited at the same time. Maybe now I can finally see you again. But I need to help my friends first." He flipped out his communicator. "Yo, Aqualad," he said into it. "Bring as many Titans as you can to my location. We have trouble."

Terra heard a voice from the communicator. "Beast Boy? What's…"

"No time for questions. Just do as I say and I'll explain later."

Aqualad hesitated, and then said, "Okay, I'll be there. We'll help you in any way we can. Aqualad out."

Beast Boy nodded and shut his communicator. With one last look back at Terra, he said, "I'll be back. Don't worry." He ran out the door then, leaving Terra alone once again. But she knew he'd stay true to his word. He'd be back.

At the Titan Tower…

"That's all he said?" Bumblebee asked as Aqualad explained the situation to the Titans.

Aqualad nodded, pacing around the stage with all the honorary Titans looking up at him. "We need to get to him right away. It sounded pretty urgent."

Silence followed. Everyone seemed worried. What started out as a simple jewelry store robbery had probably escalated into something much worse.

Speedy finally broke the silence and stepped up. "Well, he can count Titans East in."

Kole stepped forward as well. "Gnarrk and I will be there."

Gnarrk nodded, saying, "Gnarrrk!!!"

"And we'll come with," said Hotspot, Pantha and Wildebeest flanking him on either side.

"We'll help any way we can," said Jinx, nodding at Kid Flash.

"And so will we," said Herald, Jericho nodding beside him.

"Ah, what fun we shall have!" said Lightning, casting a smirk back at Thunder. Thunder smiled back and nodded.

Aqualad raised his hands in the air. "What'ya say, everyone? Are we all ready for some teamwork after three months apart?"

Everyone in the crowd cheered, "YEAH!"

Bumblebee flew to the top of the crowd. "Then let's get moving! Honorary Titans, GO!"

The large crowd of Titans moved as one out the door of the Titan Tower. Those who could fly carried a walking passenger. Aqualad called some whales and schools of fish to carry the rest across the lake to the main city. The humungous group split up, taking three ways through the city to get to their location so they wouldn't crowd the streets. Kid Flash was the first one there, still carrying Jinx in his arms. Más y Menos came next. When Beast Boy saw them, he was about to say, "Is this it?" That was when the rest began to arrive.

When all the Titans had come, Beast Boy smiled wide. This would be easy. After all, Terrane was just one person. He would be going up against way more than five people this time. Beast Boy turned into a hawk and flew up to the top of the building in which Terra's statue resided. He reverted to his original form once on top, and began speaking. "Hey everyone. I guess you're wondering why you're all here. Well, as you know, we got called out of the party to stop a jewelry thief. This thief turned out to be too hard for us. The other Titans have been defeated, and they need your help."

These words caused stirring among the crowd. "Where is that conniving thief?" someone shouted.

"I'll skin him alive!" another said.

The crowd was soon out of control, swearing to destroy the thief that had endangered their friends. "Guys," said Beast Boy, "calm down!" His attempts at stopping the roaring crowd were unsuccessful, so finally he roared at the top of his lungs, "QUIET!"

The crowd went silent. Beast Boy continued his speech. "Thank you. Now, this thief may have endangered my friends, but not without cause. See, this guy thinks we were the ones who turned his sister, Terra, to stone. Terra was a Teen Titan once, but betrayed us to Slade. This thief, her brother, is trying to get revenge for what we did. What he doesn't know is that Terra and I parted as friends. I think we may be able to help each other, but I won't be able to as long as he wants to kill me. I have a plan, but I need your complete cooperation."

The people in the crowd looked at each other, seemingly agreeing to help Beast Boy. Aqualad shouted up to him, "Okay, we'll help. What do you need?"

Beast Boy turned into a jaguar and jumped down to the street, positioning himself in front of the crowd. He transformed back into his old self and said, "Great. Let's see…I'll need you to split up across the city." He took a map out of his pocket. "All you need to do is lure him out, scare him a little, and trap him right here," he said, pointing to a dot on the map. "I'll take care of the rest. Okay, first I'll need…"

In Slade's lair…

Slade was silently fuming at what Terrane had done. The boy had shown his master distrust and cut off his connection to him before he fought the Titans. What nerve! thought Slade as he watched the battle on the screen (luckily, he still had surveillance on the scene).

His anger was somewhat calmed by how well Terrane handled the situation. He dispatched of Robin and Starfire quite effectively, using mind games to take them down. Even he, Slade, was impressed by the creativity of his mental torture. Then, as Terrane finished off Cyborg and approached Beast Boy, Slade knew trouble would follow.

Terrane had been using the Titans' mental weaknesses to his advantage thus far. Slade knew Beast Boy's weakness all too well, but if he told Terrane anything about the green boy and Terra, his apprentice would turn on him without batting an eyelash.

So when Terrane returned to his lair, Slade decided to cook up more lies. This boy could help him get what he was after, and he couldn't lose him now. "Well, well," said Slade, walking up to meet Terrane, "back already from your unsuccessful mission?"

Terrane glared at Slade. "There's something you're not telling me. Something you left out. I would've beaten them if I'd had known Beast Boy's weakness." He looked Slade straight in the eye. "What is my sister's relation with him?"

Slade raised his eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

Terrane advanced on Slade, his voice rising. "You know exactly what I mean! You were watching the fight!" He waved to the screens. "Terra is Beast Boy's mental weakness. Now why, exactly, is that, 'master'?"

Slade truly disliked being talked to in that tone. Had it been Terra doing this, he would've severely punished her. But Terrane was more formidable than Slade's former apprentice. Plus, he couldn't mistreat him now. Terrane had other places to fall back on. He was his own person, beholden to nothing and nobody. So for now, Slade would just feed him lies until he had his apprentice under control…both figuratively and literally.

"Yes, I noticed that as well," said Slade, looking at the screen and scratching his chin. "It is unusual, to say the least. Perhaps this one is so hardheaded and stubborn that he simply won't accept his dear Terra betraying him, not even after all these years. His animal instinct still tells him to save her. Or," he said, turning back to Terrane, "perhaps Beast Boy is smarter than we thought. Maybe it is he who is toying with you."

Terrane was about to reply when another screen flashed to life. This one was flashing red, with "Titan Alert!" written in bolded white letters. Slade pulled out his remote and hit a button on it. The screen changed to a map of the city. It had several red dots moving along the streets. Slade clenched his fist and said, "Titans. They're spreading throughout the city. You'd better watch out, Terrane. Some of them may be helping Beast Boy."

Terrane cracked his knuckles. "I can take 'em."

Terrane turned to leave, but Slade stopped him. "Before you go, put this on." He handed him a shirt with an 'S' on the front, much like the one he gave Terra.

Terrane looked at the garment. "What's this for?" he asked.

"It will combine my power with yours, making you my full apprentice. I will help you fight those Titans and free your sister."

Terrane was only interested in the last part. "I can free her with this?" he asked.

Slade nodded. "The two of us will have unstoppable power. You can turn things to stone easily enough as is. Who says, with a little push, you can't reverse the effect?" Slade held out his hand. "What do you say, Terrane? Will you join me so we can free your sister?"

Terrane hesitated. He battled against his own thoughts. Can I really trust him? one side said. The other rebutted, Do I have a choice? After pondering the thought, he told himself, No. I don't.

Terrane shook Slade's hand. "You've got a deal." He put the shirt on over his head and felt another presence enter his body. Instantly, he felt more powerful than he ever had before. He decided to give them a test run.

Terrane lifted his arm into the air, his eyes glowing yellow. A stone knight rose from the ground, but this one was much different than the previous style. It stood three times higher with a thicker, more defined stone armor. It carried two swords; both were sharper, longer, and thicker than the standard issue.

With a casual flick of his wrist, Terrane brought another being up from the ground. This one looked much like the horse he had used to fight Slade. However, this creature was larger, with a fuller stone mane and sharper teeth. Its body was armored, making it ever the more menacing.

Terrane finished the job by snapping his fingers. The knight jumped on the horse's back, ready for combat. Terrane smiled. This would be easy. He should've done this sooner. With one final glance back at Slade, Terrane exited the lair.

Streets of Jump City

Beast Boy was waiting in the middle of a street. He had sniffed out Terrane's scent in bloodhound form and followed it here. Wherever he had gone, he would be coming out on this street. After waiting for what seemed like forever, Beast Boy heard footsteps. He readied himself for combat, trying to see the figure clearly.

Beast Boy heaved a sigh of relief. The person was just an innocent denizen of Jump City. He took a deep breath and thought, Calm down, Beast Boy. Everything is in place. Everything will be fine as long as you follow the plan.

Beast Boy didn't wait long after that. He heard the voice of the blonde-haired thief coming from behind him. "Beast Boy!" Terrane shouted. Beast Boy turned around to see Terra's brother standing in the middle of the street, fists clenched.

Beast Boy began advancing toward him. "Listen," he said, "there's been a misunderstanding…" He stopped when he saw what Terrane was wearing. "So it was Slade," he said to himself. "Look, Slade's been lying to you. Whatever he told you is a lie!"

"Hmph," said Terrane, not buying it. "So you're saying it's a lie that Slade can help my sister? I've seen his power, Beast Boy. He can do it."

"He may be able to do it," said Beast Boy, "but he won't."

"And why do you say that?"

"Because Slade is a liar and a crook. Do you even know what he did to Terra?"

Terrane narrowed his eyes. "Yes, I do. He took her in, apprenticed her, and helped her master her powers. You, however, fought her and turned her to stone. And for that, you will pay with your life!" Terrane encased his hands in gloves of solid diamond and charged at Beast Boy.

Beast Boy stood his ground and let out a high-pitched whistle. Before Terrane got within ten feet of Beast Boy, he saw projectiles heading toward him at high speed. He stopped and deflected them with his gloves. He looked up in the directions of the projectiles to see, on his right, a redhead with a bow and arrows, loading up another shot. On his left he saw a dark-skinned girl in a bumblebee costume, complete with the wings. In her hands were two B-shaped guns, obviously the source of the projectiles. She, too, readied another shot.

Terrane brought up two shields made of diamond on each side to protect him from the shots. He continued walking toward Beast Boy, the arrows and blasts from Bumblebee's stingers pinging harmlessly off the sides of his shields.

Terrane was less than five feet from Beast Boy when he saw a little girl standing in front of him, her arms out wide. "I'm not gonna let you hurt my friend, you big meanie!" she shouted.

Terrane smirked. "You gonna try to stop me, little girl?" he asked.

Melvin smiled. "No," she said, "but Bobby will."

Terrane looked around, trying to see this "Bobby." Suddenly, something struck him hard in the stomach, knocking him back twenty feet. He got up and looked back to where the girl was standing. There was a humungous teddy bear standing in front of her. It had sharp teeth, claws, and a very, very angry look on its face. Terrane started his trek back toward Beast Boy. "Bobby, I presume," he said, bringing up a shield in front to accompany his two side shields. This Bobby may be tough, but there was no way he could break through diamond.

Then, to Terrane's evident surprise, he saw something chewing through his shield. When the shield had been entirely decimated, Terrane became even more surprised. In front of him was another child, much younger than the other. He was still in diapers, in fact. The baby's cheeks were full, though of what Terrane wasn't sure.

Then his eyes widened. This kid had eaten through diamond! The baby was now staring at him intently, chewing on the diamond in his cheeks.

Terrane heard the little girl shout, "Now, Teether!" The little kid, Teether, started spitting out shards of diamond in rapid succession. Terrane tried shielding himself with his hands in an attempt to stop the shards. He brought up another diamond shield, which was quickly shattered by the steady stream of shards being shot from Teether's mouth.

"Enough!" Terrane shouted. He extended his hand toward Teether. Immediately, he was sucked underground, with only his tiny head above the surface. The blonde-haired baby began crying. Terrane said, "Learn to respect your elders, little boy."

As the child was crying, however, the ground began to shake. What, he can cause earthquakes, too? thought Terrane. Then, after listening a bit harder, he realized there was another kid crying. He turned around to see a wailing redheaded boy of about four or five. He was clearly causing the earthquakes.

Terrane chuckled amidst the commotion. "Sorry, kid," he said, mostly to himself. "I'm the only one around here who's gonna be causing earthquakes." He slammed his fists to the ground, sending the current earthquake rumbling back at Timmy. It knocked the toddler over, stopping the quake. This left Timmy crying even harder, though not creating any earthquakes.

Terrane surveyed the battleground: Beast Boy was still standing about twenty feet away from him; Bumblebee and Speedy were still firing at him; Bobby was now approaching him; Teether was stuck in the ground, and finding himself unable to chew his way out; and Timmy Tantrum was throwing a non-earthquake-inducing fit. If he wanted to get to Beast Boy, Terrane would have to get rid of the three remaining nuisances.

Terrane took five seconds to devise a plan. He flung his diamond shields up toward Speedy and Bumblebee, knocking them unconscious. He ran at Bobby, lifting both his arms. Before the tremendous teddy could attack, Terrane turned him to stone. "Bobby!" Melvin cried out. She ran up to Bobby's statue, hugging it and crying fiercely.

Terrane silently praised himself and once again began walking toward Beast Boy. Finally, he would get to finish off the last of the Titans.

Or so he thought. Beast Boy wasn't all that worried about the advancing teen. He knew that this attack had just been the first wave. Beast Boy took one last look back at Terrane, and then began running down the street. Those kids were just a warmup, thought Beast Boy. Now's the time for the real workout.

And so ends Part Three. I'll continue as soon as I see some more reviews!
