Welcome home

The news that Starfire gave Robin had him stunned. But he had said anything, and that night on the roof something had happened between them. Exactly 15 minute later a meeting was called between the Titans. Robin explained that Starfire was hurt, that the antidote had worked but somehow backfired, and that they needed to get to Tameran if Starfire wanted to live.

All Titans agreed to assist them in their quest to heal Starfire. Cyborg sent a transmission to Titans East, telling them that there assistance was needed in Jump City to patrol it while they were on Tameran. They were given a single hour to pack. Robin wanted Starfire cured as soon as possible.

One hour later, they entered into the T-ship, taking their designated positions. Starfire was beaming with the thought of returning home, planet. She was absolutely dying to return to the planet she once knew. From its rocky surface, to its grand palace, it was thousands of miles of untold and undiscovered beauty.

They were approaching her home planet when the T-ship jolted to the side. Beast Boy looked at the scanners, hundreds of red dots were surrounding the ship. Another jolt, but this time at the left side of the ship, by Raven. She looked outside of her window, only to see a small cricket like creatures surrounding them and ramming the ship.

"Yo Star! What's up with the creepy green cricket things that want to kill us?" asked Cyborg through his headset.

"I don't know," she said.

"We should separate before these things kill us!" said Beast Boy.

The T-ship broke into separate pieces. Each Titan was able to take down at least 20 cricket things, and regroup afterwards. But two of the four motors had been blown and they were going in for a crash landing. Robin and Cyborg took the control sticks and carefully sent it forward. The ship Jolted, but not specifically to one side. It completely wobbled all over. Beast Boy checked one of the electronically and automatically updated plans of the ship, another one of the motors had been shot out.

"Cyborg, go hard forward," commanded Robin.

The ship moved forward smoothly toward the nearest planet. It was unspecified on the coordinates. A minute later the ship jolted again. The last motor had been shot out. The only thing that was keeping them up was there previous speed, and it was barely enough to give them a landing. Not necessarily a safe one though.

They landed in a landing strip in front of the palace. Starfire jumped of the ship as fast as she could and approached the doors to the hovercraft entrance.

"Amarastrak! Galfore! Astraka Markalzota!" Yelled one of the guards.

Everyone was able to feel the ground shaking, and heavy steps coming from inside of the palace. From behind his back, Robin took two of the disks from his belt and had his thumbs on the activation button.

From the doors came a man. At the least 8 feet tall. As wide as a half sized school bus. With arms as large Cyborg. His beard stretched down, than was separated into different strands. His hair just as long. He made even Cyborg look feeble in his presence.

"Matra syzonide! Ilafractika oplisar, gara!" Yelled the mysterious man.

Starfire did as best she could to make eye contact with the man. It was hard because of his incredible height and because her powers weren't working. Or never would again if she wasn't heald.

"Azha matimador! Halko prezxixcos!" She yelled.

Robin took the disks from behind his back and threw them forward when he saw the mysterious man throw his arms around her. The disks skidded off of the castle walls and fell to the ground with a clang. Two of the guards went forward to Robin and put their spears in front of him.

"Stop! He meant no harm," Starfire commanded.

"Our apologies princess," said one of the guards in perfect English.

"PRINCESS?" Said Robin in astonishment.

"Oh yes. Did I forget to mention? I am princess of Tameran. But that is not important. This is Galfore. He is my Kanorfga, he has raised me since I was very small," Starfire explained.

"This guy's your nanny?" laughed Beast Boy.

"Does something amuse you little green one?" asked Galfore.

Galfore approached Beast Boy and towered over him. He looked 700 feet tall to Beast Boy. Beast Boy turned into a gopher and then scurried behind Ravens leg.

"Sir, my name is Robin, this is Cyborg, this is Raven, and that was Beast Boy," explained Robin.

"We welcome you to our planet with open arms," said Galfore

"Thank you sir. But when we were coming in, really strange creatures attacked us. They shot out all four of our motors, and I was hoping you knew what they were," Robin explained.

Glafore's joyous expression faded down to a straight line.

"The drenthax army has been attacking our planet for weeks now," said Galfore.

Starfire turned away when she heard the word Drenthax, and went behind two of the guards so she didn't have to face Galfore when he spoke of this subject.

"We would like to help in any way that we can," offered Robin.

"No, you have brought us exactly what we need, now that we have our princess. We can fully initiate our deal with the prince of Drenthax. But thank you. If your services are needed, we will inform you immediately," said Galfore.

Robin looked puzzled for a moment, lost in confusion. Galfore raised his arm to the two guards that Starfire had been hiding behind and they stepped aside. Starfire was revealed her face grim.

"Mazzah, Cofry! Show our guests to their rooms," commanded Galfore.

Starfires face brightened when she learned that her friends could stay. Then she got an odd feeling in her chest. It moved up into her heart. It began thudding harder than ever before. Her vision began to get blurry, and she sat down. Her legs couldn't support her weight within her weak State. She saw Robin and Galfore standing over her. Everything began to spin, than it all faded to black.
