THIS IS NOT THE LAST CHAPTER!!!!!! There is just no cliffie this time....

Me: You'll might like this chapter Raven. It isn't fluffy at all.

Raven: I may not skip around in a pink dress, but i am not THAT depressing, i won't throw up if i read fluff... most of the time...


Cyborg's fingers flew across the keypad of his computer. He slowly shook his head. "I have been trying man, but I can't track Orphia, she didn't leave a trace of herself anywhere. I have no idea where she disappeared to. Almost like she went to a distant planet…" Robin's head shot up.

"Tamaran?" he asked hopefully.

"It can not be. She has been banished." Said Star sadly, hoping to find her as well. Robin growled.

"There HAS to be a trace! She did that weird glass ball thing with Star, and she fought me. There MUST be something!" Cyborg shook his head no, and looked down.

"Sorry man, nothing." He said, but continued to search nonetheless, rubbing his head in frustration. Robin looked like he wanted to punch somebody in the face, while Raven sat there levitating, trying to make mental contact with Orphia.

"I can't make physic contact. There is nobody but us five in the tower." Beastboy began to shake his head in disagreement, his moss green hair becoming more messed up than it currently was.

"Beastboy I would…" but Raven was promptly cut off by the sound of an alarm echoing through the tower, accompanied by flashing red lights.

Robin ran over to the computer and began to press keys, fingers flying across the keyboard. Suddenly, an image appeared on the screen. Everyone gasped and tears immediately filled Starfire's eyes.

There stood Orphia, in the middle of a street, destroying everything in sight with star-bolts. But, the marking on her face and her fangs had vanished, and clothes identical to the ones Blackfire had worn and Starfire had worn as well when she had first come o earth were on her body. Her personality hadn't changed, she still intended to get Starfire, the only thing that was different was her circumstances.

"No…" whispered Starfire, staring at the image, emerald eyes locked on the screen and brimming with tears. Robin put an arm around her. It was not hard to see that something was wrong with her.

"Star, what's wrong?" he asked her slowly and quietly. She sobbed, tears rolling down her smooth cheeks.

"H… her…c… clothes." She stuttered, shaking her head, ruby hair flying back and forth. "This means that she is no longer banished from Tamaran. And the only way she could have accomplished this is…"

"What Star?" he asked a bit scared.

"Is… to… overthrow the planet, and the grand ruler. Galfore is dead." She finished in a whisper, collapsing to the floor in a heap. Sobs were the only thing that could be heard from her, as sadness consumed her heart. Robin knelt down next to her, holding her delicate hand. She didn't move at all, and he gathered her slim body into his strong arms and rhythmically stroked her hair. He knew what it felt like, to lose somebody dear to you.

So he just sat, hugging and comforting her, whispering in her ear. "I'm so sorry Star. I love you so much. WE can go take care of Orphia and you can…" he was cut off as she suddenly sprung up.

"NO!" she yelled, frightening everyone. "I can not be bothered by the sadness in my heart! I am permanently removing Orphia from this earth TODAY! I shall not tolerate what she is doing to me, I shall not tolerate how she is making me fear, I shall not tolerate HER!" Robin looked at her beautiful tear stained face with concern. He opened his mouth to protest, but the look in her eyes silenced him. He knew what it was like to lose your parents, and even if Galfore wasn't really her dad, he had been like a father to her.

"Okay." Was all he could bring himself to whisper. The other Titans looked surprised. He put a hand on her cheek and wiped away a tear. "Let's go."

TTTTTT

Orphia had already done a considerable amount of damage. Two building were down, and three trucks, and about twelve cars were either smashed or overturned. She slowly turned her body around, getting ready to blast her next target, when her eyes caught a glimpse of ruby red hair.

She quickly whipped her head around the rest of the way, shining black hair spinning in a semi-circle. 'No…' she thought. 'It couldn't be. The Gordanian Empire gave me those powers, and I imprisoned her! There is no way she could have escaped!' But there she stood, eyes lit up, and star-bolts charged, looking furious. The bright jade light that shone from her fists pulsed, and you could tell that Starfire was trying with everything in her not to fire immediately. She slowly stepped forward, and spoke in a shaky voice, trembling with anger and sadness.

"Orphia, I must ask you again, please come peacefully and we do not have to engage in battle." Orphia stared at Star, who was accompanied by the rest of her team. She was still a bit shocked by her presence, but shook it off and answered in a sneering voice.

"Nice try sweetie. But you and I know very well that I am not going down without a fight." Starfire never broke eye contact. Orphia studied her face. She seemed almost… happy that she would get to fight her. Then memories struck Orphia. She couldn't help remembering what it was like before this had all began. What she was like. 'But this is who you are now!' She sharply reminded herself as she raised her fists. "I'm waiting." She said in a sneering voice.

Starfire yelled in fury, madly blasting star-bolts and firing lasers from her eyes. Orphia easily flipped and rolled away from each one, swiftly jumping and ducking. She began to throw star-bolts of her own, but Starfire expertly dodged each one as she sailed through the air, her flight very shaky but her star-bolts stronger than ever.

The eye-beams and star-bolts continued to fly through the air, colliding with buildings but never hitting either girl. Orphia saw the rage in Starfire's eyes and it ignited rage in her as well. She created a particularly large star-bolt and sent it flying towards Starfire, and it hit her lower stomach, causing her to collapse on the floor.

"STARFIRE!" yelled Robin, running at Orphia.

"You just don't know when to give up, do you?" she hissed, moving towards Star, engaged in battle with Robin at the same time. She had just pushed him off long enough to walk the rest of the way to Star, and she looked down at her, grinning evilly. "You lose again."

Just then, Robin attacked Orphia from behind. She spun around and forcefully threw him off. Then, using her alien strength picked up a large car and threw it at him. With perfect aim, she hit him, knocking him over like a bowling pin. Starfire watched in horror from the ground. He. Wasn't. Moving. Then an unfamiliar feeling came over her. There was so much anger… so much… pure hate inside her. It was consuming every corner of her mind. She began to rise off the ground, and levitated in the air.

"NO!" she yelled loudly, eyes glowing. "You killed my little brother, my kanorfk'a, took over my home planet, and caused me more pain than I ever thought imaginable. You have damaged me, but you will NEVER TOUCH HIM AGAIN!" she finished, screaming loudly, creating a green light three times the size of her. It incased her body, and she rose higher up. "I love him, and losing him would be more pain than any living creature could bear. Pain I will not allow you to cause me! This, is for everything you have done, and to make sure you can NOT DO ANYMORE and you will NEVER HURT HIM!" she yelled, focusing every ounce of the green energy into one single beam, and rushing it in one direction. This glowing emerald light hit Orphia square in the chest, and she screamed one last time. Then, in a blinding explosion of red light, she was gone.

The glow slowly faded and Starfire fell to the ground. She stood up shakily, and everything was silent. Looking to the side, she saw her friends, and a broken but mostly alright Robin standing there, mouths agape. He slowly approached her, and put an arm around her shoulders, staring at the place where Orphia had stood a matter of seconds ago.

There was no question in their minds that she was really gone, and was not coming back. She had been destroyed by something more powerful than all the genetic enhancement and weaponry in the world. She was taken down by the power of love.
