The Titans entered the front gates of the palace. The courtyard was empty and eerily silent. all of the heroes were on edge. Beast's ears would occasionally flick, Cyborg's cannon was always out, Wonder Girl and Nightwing both adopted a constant fighting stance, and Raven... just walked calmly. That's Raven for you.

"Whe-where is everyone?" Cassie whispered through a sniffle. She had been crying not too long ago about the number of deaths she caused and her mascara was flowing down her rosy cheeks.

"I don't know, but be prepared for anything," Beast said while leading the pack.

Beast stopped in the middle of the large and landscaped courtyard. "Cyborg..."

Cyborg's eyes flicked to his green friend and followed where his finger was pointing. He scanned the large crater and nodded. Jumping into the indentation he began to set up the shield generator.

After five minutes Nightwing began to lose patience. "What's taking so long Cyborg?"

Cyborg, having been working on the damn thing for five minutes eyed him violently. "Do you want to work on a device that's been shot up? No? Then calm your tits."

Another few seconds of Nightwing brooding took place before the quiet hum overtook the silence and a large blue bubble now surrounded the palace and its grounds.

"Alright ya'll, we only have a few minutes to do this... The generator's power reserve has been damaged and we are running on reserves."

How long do we have exactly?" Raven questioned in her monotone.

"I would say.." He fiddled with the screen on his forearm. "Approximately twelve minutes."

That's enough time to get this done, let's move quickly." Beast assured.

The team forced open the main palace doors. The large room was different than when Beast had last arrived. The damage had been increased and a long ripped, velvet carpet rushed ahead to meet the throne. Bodies of royal soldiers littered the room. The throne itself held the crown at its feet. 'Strange' Beast mused in his head.

The sounds of fighting and screams of Tamaran curses rose in the background. Only Beast had truly picked it up with his specialty hearing. Raven, however, soon picked up two energy forces as well, one was Blackfire, and one was very similar to... Starfire?

An explosion of dust and debris shook the room as two entities flew through the ceiling. a red-headed Tameranian slammed Blackfire into the floor and had his knee on her throat. The dust settled and the Titans starred at the duo locked in a struggle of dominance. The unknown one almost always seemed to be in control, but Blackfire appeared to be in a fit of rage and would not cease.

Beast shook his head and glanced at his team. "Well don't just stand there, let's help the man."

They advanced forward meaning to help subdue the violent woman. They were stopped by a bright purple light and a shockwave tossed them back a few feet.
Beast was the first to get up and he quickly surveyed the room. The place was in shambles, the support pillars had been destroyed and the left wall seemed to be falling apart before his very eyes. Blackfire stood over the downed red-head with a switch in hand, it looked familiar to him. Her thumb had the button pressed down and stayed there. It finally clicked in the green man's mind, he had seen the Brain use this same tactic while on the Doom Patrol.

Cyborg appeared to have reached the same conclusion for he stood still with an angered gaze. Nightwing however, ran forward only to be stopped by both of the Titans.

"it's a dead man's switch dude," Beast whispered to the masked man.

Nightwing froze and backed down. Raven and Cassie soon stood by their sides as well. The two Tameranians were in a heavy conversation.

"Anyone have any ideas?" Cassie rustled.

"For once, I'm at a loss." Beast muttered, "The switch will go off if she lets go of the button, and I don't want to see what said button activates."

Blackfire looked up and for the first time noticed the Titans. "Ah, so I have an audience now? Excellent." She walked forward with an extra sway in her hips directed towards the green man. "You know, I would never have expected the once weakest Titan to turn out to be one of the mightiest." She spoke in a sultry voice. "Or such a looker."

His instincts were in conflict, some of the animals wanted to take her right then and there... yet the majority and more loyal ones wanted to crush her for daring to hurt his pack. He bared his canines and growled at the woman.

"You see, this trigger in my hand activates a series of detonators I have placed around the globe." An evil smile takes place on her features. "Each one as a gift from the Gorgonides."

"The Gorgonides? ARE YOU, INSANE SISTER?!" The other Tameranian screams.

'Sister?' all the Titans think.

"The Gorgonides are one of our enemies. They destroyed half of the planet! And you went and made a deal with them?"

"indeed dear brother, I would have allied with them had I not been stopped by the likes of all of you. Now, my army lays in waste, our royal palace's defense is down and I have no choice but to sadly destroy this miserable planet.

A moment of silence passed between the group. A small piece of the ceiling came loose and descended through the air. The comical coconut sound resonated as it made contact with Blackfire's head. Her entire body swayed as her eyes rolled into the back of her head. she fell, connecting with the lush carpet and her thumb detached from the detonator.

The other Tameranian was the first to react. "Jar'vak! Gornak fo tak'r."

"what did you just say?" Cyborg asked

The man wiped his mouth and narrowed his eyes. "Well, I simply said there are ten minutes left until we all die!"

"Alright, I have a feeling you are Koriand'r's brother yes?" The changeling asked.

"How do you know my sister?" He asked with his fists clenched.

"No time for questions... come help us evacuate, we have a large army in the city and they did not come this far to die." Beast declares.

The Tameranian nods and says four words. "My name is ryand'r"

"Garfield, now let's go" Beast answered.

They flew as fast as they could over to the center of the city. the large towers seemingly untouched while the streets and smaller buildings were in ruin. Raven pulled her communicator out and informed Star on everything. While The Tameranian was excited to finally see her brother again, she was also in charge of her people so she hurried to the landing pads.

They had left a number of ships in case of emergency and they were incredibly glad they did. It took one minute to get there and had been four extremely long minutes of ushering soldiers into large ships. A purple starbolt slammed into Ryand'r's back and he tripped forward into Starfire. Beast snarled as he spun around and observed Blackfire hovering in mid-air.

"No extraction for your dear old sister? How rude." The black-haired woman spat.

"You are the evil, sister... How could you?" Starfire's eyes held a green glow as she clutched her brother tightly to her chest. "This was our home, our birthplace... and you wish to destroy it?"

"If I can't have the throne, no one can!" She yelled.
A green blur snatched her out of the sky and slammed her into the platform. A hole was created as they fell to the dirt base underneath.

"So forceful, and handsome," Blackfire said. Garfield in the beast form laid on top of her growling. Suddenly his eyes flicked to a glowing red amulet around her neck. She realized this and swiftly delivered a right hook to his snout. His eyes teared up and she took his momentary distraction to plant two feet on his chest and pushed forward with all her might. The beast flew out of the hole and slammed back-first onto the landing pad. A minute has passed.

Garfield switched back into his human form as Blackfire rose from the opening. "Raven? What's that amulet?" Garfield asked.

Raven squinted her eyes investigating the pulsing relic. Her eyes widened and she frantically spoke, "That's a relic of Azar, but it seems to be corrupted... Where did she get that?"

"Just another gift, daughter of Trigon." She spoke in a voice that was not completely her own.

"Starfire... GET EVERYONE OUT OF HERE!" Raven yelled in such a fearful voice that the others realized this was serious.

Starfire would not leave her friends in a time of need. "Brother... Help everyone escape... I must aid my friends." Ryand'r nodded and gave Star a quick hug before limping over to a group of Tameranians starring wide-eyed.

"Well don't just stand there like a bunch of huserty's, get moving!" He yelled.

(Author's Note: Some of these Tameranian words I'm just making up at this point XD)

Another minute has passed.

Garfield overheard the conversation and his heart skipped a beat. 'She won't leave her pack' he thought with a sad smile.

Cyborg shot his sonic cannon at Blackfire expecting to hit. He was sorely disappointed to see her dodge the blast with ease. She threw a blast of her own and hit him directly in the chest, normally it wouldn't affect his Titanium armor but her bolt was infused with another energy source that corroded the outside layer of his armor. He stepped back and his systems flipped out transferring danger and error information to his brain.

Raven sent a blast to the distracted Tameranian hitting the woman in the side. Blackfire hissed in pain and was about to attack when an explosive disc slammed into her arm causing her to lose the focus to conjure a starbolt. A hummingbird passed her ear and changed into a Red-tailed Boa, effectively wrapping its body around her throat. He began to squeeze ignoring the pain of Blackfire's nails scraping at his reptilian flesh. She tried to burn him off with the heat of a starbolt but he just constricted tighter. Just as the heat began to corrode his skin and become too much for the changeling, a green starbolt made contact with Blackfire's abdomen and she let loose a breath of pain. Quite a mistake with a snake wrapped around your throat. She soon fell out of the sky as she lost consciousness.

Garfield changed into a Pteranodon and carried the unconscious sister of Starfire to the ground. Raven grabbed the amulet off of her body and observed the relic. Trigon's face materialized in the reflection of the red gem. "Hello daughter, I bet you thought I was gone... and while I may not be able to enter your world I will stop at nothing to end your miser-" He was cut off as Raven dropped the jewel on the ground and crushed it with a power-infused boot.

-Somewhere hot and fiery-

"Goddamnit, Why can't I ever finish a monologue!" Trigon roared in rage.

-Back on Tameran-

Garfield removed his hood and mask while gazing at the last visible ship leave the atmosphere. "I'm ok with this If it means saving the Tameranian race... I can live with dying." The man laughed at the irony. They had a minute left until the planet was done for.

He turned around and gave his friends a soft smile,

"Well, I'm glad I get to spend the last moments of my life as a hero and with friends." Wonder Girl says with conviction.

"Indeed" Was all Starfire said.

They all huddled together for thirty seconds before Cyborg slapped his forehead. "I'm an idiot!" He yelled gaining quizzical looks from everyone. "I landed the T-ship on the edge of the cliff. before we left, remember?"

Beast yelled, "I'm not ok with this, I'm not ok with this!" As he grabbed Cyborg in Pteranodon form and flew off.

Everyone looked at each other and then flew off, Nightwing being transported by Starfire. It took twenty seconds to arrive at the T-ship and Beast was already on the ramp waving frantically and sweating like a pervert in a sex shop.

"Do you guys want to be eviscerated? Hurry up!" He yelled before heading inside.

Once everyone was safely within, Cyborg lifted the ramp and the T-ship elevated off the ground. About halfway out of orbit, the whole planet groaned like an old man just getting out of bed. Starfire and Wonder Girl plastered their faces to their respective cockpit windows. Large clouds wrapped around the planet like a blanket as they exited the orbit.

"Well, it doesn't look too bad..." Cassie tried to assure.

Suddenly, the entire planet was shattered from the inside out then imploded. The entire planet of Tameran disappeared from view for a moment before a large supernova-like explosion rocked the T-ship. the lights and engines of the ship flickered for a moment before settling back to normal.

"Oh..." Was all Cassie said before sinking back into her seat.

"My...My home." Starfire says while tears formed.

"Yo Cy, you think you can set this thing to autopilot or something?"

"Yeah Grass-stain, we all deserve a break anyway." came the solemn answer.

The Titans regrouped in the central control room, with a holographic panel in front of them turned off. Garfield and Cassie sit with Star, comforting her the best they can while Nightwing and Cyborg discuss some details. Raven was in the corner, meditating.

abruptly a beep resounded out of the middle panel signifying an incoming transmission. Cyborg swiftly pushed a few buttons and, to Starfire's joy, Ryand'r's voice greeted their ears. "Are Garfield and/or Korian'r aboard this ship?"

Both of the named individuals arrived at the panel. "We are both her brother! I'm filled with joy that you are unharmed."

"As am I sister, but... what do we do now?" His voice displayed uncertainty.

Starfire put a finger to her mouth, pushing up her lips a bit as she thought. "Brother, our parents sent you away to preserve the royal bloodline, you shall find a new home... and you shall be crowned king."

There was no hesitation in Ryand'r's answer, "No Kori, You have fought long and hard for this, I could not simply take it from you... Plus, what will you do? Where will you go?"

"I will do as I have done for many years, help defend Earth with my friends. You are more suitable to lead than I."

A moment of pause before her brother spoke again, "If that is your desire?"

"It is."

"Then I shall carry out your wish. Hopefully, we will speak again sister."

They both shared a few words in Tameranian before cutting off the transmission. The silent hum of the engines created a soothing atmosphere as the group descended into silence for a bit.

"So where to next?" Cassie wondered out loud, breaking the silence like fragile glass.

"That depends... Why don't we take a vacation?" Cyborg smiled.

Garfield answered the smile with one of his own. "Know of any good intergalactic vacation spots Star?"

"Well, there is one I have the knowledge of." She said with a slight smile.

"To the vacation planet then!" Garfield yelled as Cassie giggled at the man's antics.

Nightwing nodded his head, secretly thrilled about having a break for once.

As everyone moved to their respective places, Raven had a small smile on her face.

If only they knew of the adventures that awaited ahead of them.
