Hey!
Chapter Seven
The Break Out!
Robin awoke with a start, and realized he was in a concrete room. He saw the whole room was bare, an odd resemblance to an Earth jail room. A small rectangular heavy metal door blocked any escape. He wondered breifly if he really was on another planet, when a strange language was spoken outside the door. Tamaranian. He was still here. But why was he in this room?
Suddenly, a familiar voice chimed in. It was expressionless, and monotoned. A clatter of metal, and heavy footsteps, then the drawer opened. There stood Raven, a cloak covering all of her. Her hood was down, showing her composed and mellow features. "Listen, we haven't got much time. Here." She threw him a cloak that seemed to have been remeasured and sewn for Robin's size. He pulled it on and stared at her.
The hood and cloak covered all of him, making it impossible to identify him. A ghost of a smile appeared on her lips. "Perfect. Now, come on." She abruptly paced away from him, and Robin struggled to keep up. "Whats going on?" He asked. Raven kept walking, but explained.
"Your green idiot friend has murdered the favored princess," She paused as somebody in the audience shouted, "Not really! Its rated K+!". She gave a small nod and continued, "Well, whatever he did, the king has now sworn off any possible peace. He then locked you up, and your other friend is still missing for some reason or another. Starfire is going to escape with you to earth then, you have to hide."
Robin stared at her. "Where can I hide?" Raven gave a small shrug. "Ask Starfire. She knows the whole planet, every nook." She paused. They had been walking from a long hall and she stopped in front of a small nook. It was completely hidden unless you were looking for it. "Stay, Starfire will come for you soon." She looked over her shoulders, then drifted away.
Robin sunk into the small cramped area. He had to bend in an uncomfortable position to fit, and even more so for the cloak to hide anything identifiable about him. He stayed in this position for a while, when he heard the clatter of metal. 2 guards passed by, speaking english. One sounded oddly familiar. ".....tomorrow with Prince." was all he heard.
Moments later, Starfire appeared. "Robin?" She whispered into the darkness of the hidden corner. "I'm here Starfire." Robin replied. In the dim light, he saw her smile. "Yes. Now come, we must go." She held out her hand, and he quickly took it to escape the closed spaced.
"Its a good thing you had such a thought out plan." Robin whispered. Starfire gave a nod and replied, "Yes. It is so we do not do something you would call the, 'stupid'." Robin answered, "Yeah, its a good thing we aren't doing something as stupid as faking our own deaths." Starfire gave a small giggle. "I must agree. That sounds very...." she paused, struggling to remember the correct earth word, "Idiotic?" she asked unsurely. Robin grinned at her. "Yep."
The rest of the walk was in silence, and they came to an end of a long hall moments later. Starfire gave Robin armor, like that of the warriors. "Although you are not of the same physical build, you shall pass for a guard. Your name is Fireblade, or Der'blosh. Introduce yourself as so. I am sure you shall find a familar face. When nightfalls, I will come for you. Copy all the guards say and act as they do. As for your not knowing of Tamaranian, say you have obtained many languages and have forgetten that of Tamaran. Understood?" She asked. Robin nodded.
Starfire smiled. "And if that gets too hard, simply follow the script." she added. Robin gave another nod.
Suddenly, a stranger burst into the scene. He picked up the armor. "Hmm..hmm...Yes, this will do. MAKE UP!" The man called. Robin stared at him, and whispered to Starfire, "Who is he?" Apparently, the man heard him and replied, "I am in charge of costume and have designed all your !" He pointed to Robin. "Yes, bird boy, you need some make up to brighten up those cheeks!" He took out a large white cotton pad covered with red blush.
"Woah woah WAIT!" Robin cried, only to obtain a mouth full of cotton and red powder. The group was coughing, and the powder covered the scene, making it impossible to see. Somebody called out between coughs, "We'll...be back...next chapter...finishing...the story...UGH! WE NEED A JANITOR AND A FAN!" The speaker began coughing even harder, apparently inhaling too much of the blush.
And, as the mysterious speaker said, THE STORY WILL WRAP UP NEXT CHAPTER AND THE 2 BONUS CHAPTERS WILL SOON FOLLOW IT!
