Chapter 8
Never Alone
DD sat in the abandoned oil rig, tied to a support pillar in a dark room by Terror. She thought she was alone, hoped it, really. But she wasn't. She heard the voices, seeming to come from deep below. Again, she struggled, but it was no use. She couldn't even conjure anything, as the rope canceled out her powers.
"This is so boring..." she muttered to herself. She suddenly heard a footstep. "Who's there?" she asked, slightly afraid. She was answered by a dark, cold, intelligent voice. "I am your worst nightmare. But, you can simply call me..Slade."
The Titans landed on the outer balcony of the oil rig, a huge, metal structure in the middle of Jump Bay. Robin stood in the center of the group, and began to speak. "Everyone, spread out, and keep a vigilant eye for Day Dreamer. Beast Boy, you and Alpha go with Solar Cat. Cyborg, Raven, you two go with Starfire. And Kaz, you're with me. Move out!"
All of the heroes went inside the rig, and began to search for their teammate.
Starfire concentrated a starbolt in her hand, forming a light. Immediately the room was illuminated with a green glow, revealing a large group of small robots that heavily resembled spiders. One of the bots pounced, latching itself to Raven. The other spider-bots attacked, and all of three of them were immediately overwhelmed...
"AHHHH!" Beast Boy jumped, hearing a scream from somewhere in the rig. "That sounded like Starfire!" he shouted. Alpha shrugged. "Knowing you Titans, she's probably fine." he said. Solar Cat turned to look at him. "Look, buddy, if someone screams, they are usually not 'fine'. So, we are going to find them, and help with whatever it is!" she said to him, obviously annoyed.
Alpha shrugged, again. "Whatever." Beast Boy's eyes suddenly went wide. "Solar Cat..." he mumbled. Alpha suddenly looked frightened as well. "Look out!" he shouted, when suddenly a black-robed robot grabbed Solar cat from behind and raised her into the air. Then both the robot and Solar Cat were gone, with a breeze of wind.
"Solar Cat! Where are you?" shouted Beast Boy. Alpha turned around, and went back to back with Beast Boy, who had assumed gorilla form. In a matter of moments, a growl was heard, followed by a scream, and then, silence. Alpha turned, and saw that his friend was gone. Alpha whipped around, looking for the phantom-bot.
"I'm not afraid, you hear me! I'm not!" he shouted, at nobody. He turned around again, and stared right into the red eyes of a robot. It grabbed him, and then he was gone too.
Kaz looked at his communicator, and tensed. All of the signals of his other teammates besides Robin were..gone. Vanished. "Robin..something's wrong. I haven't heard from anybody," he said. Turning, he saw that Robin was gone. "Robin? Where are you?" Kaz became scared. He was all alone. But, that wasn't true.
After Kaz noticed Robin was no longer there, a large robot, appearing to be like a centaur, but half spider instead of half horse, appeared. Kaz didn't notice it until it was right behind him, and he quickly turned and punched it with an energy fist. It flew into the wall, and vanished. It reappeared right in front of Kaz, and hit him to the side.
Some of the spider-bots appeared, along with the robed phantoms. Kaz already knew he would be overwhelmed. The spider-bots piled over him, and the phantoms loomed nearby. Kaz's vision began to go black...But all of a sudden, the robots were gone, or, at least the spider-bots were. Kaz looked up, to see what the cause was, and saw a sight too good to be true.
"Looks like you needed help, dude," said a blond boy, roughly the same age as Kaz. "Power Wing? Is that you?" asked Kaz, and noticed he was accompanied by none other than Miss Flash. And Space Girl was with them, too.
"What are you guys doing here?" asked Kaz. Miss Flash spoke up. "We lost your signal a few days ago, and we got worried." she said. Kaz face-palmed. "That's because Solar Cat dropped our communicators in a river," he replied. Power Wing snickered.
"So, uh, White Lantern. Where are the others?" asked Space Girl. Kaz looked down. "I have no idea. We were looking for Day Dreamer, because she was kidnapped by Terror. But I lost everyone else's signals, and I'm assuming they were kidnapped too." he replied.
Power Wing tried to brighten the mood. "Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go find them!"
