(Author's Note: Hi there, everyone! For those who read, I'm back! Here's another chapter for my story, sorry it took so long but my school exams were just such a pain in my ass. I appreciate your patience and I hope this will be worth it. Enjoy!)
Chapter Ten: Mind Blown
"Where am I"? That was the only thought passing through Terra's head as she found herself walking through, what appeared to be, some kind of field. There was a strange yet bright yellow color as far as she could see, excluding a small white circle that was about three feet wide and was wherever she was. She kept walking, trying to get some kind of indication for where she was, but didn't find anything that would be helpful.
Suddenly, a bright white light appeared a couple of feet away from her and Terra was just hoping that it would be helpful. The small amount of relief she felt turned into confusion as all she saw was a giant boulder on the floor. That confusion, however, quickly turned into horror as, beneath the boulder, she saw all too familiar blue armor and a dark crimson liquid puddle that was growing. "Cyborg!" Terra tried to use her powers to remove the boulder, but couldn't. It was as if her power had completely left her.
Another bright light appeared and it only increased Terra's horror by a very large margin. In a white circle similar to hers, she saw Robin, Raven, and Starfire lying there with rock collars around their necks. It appeared as if their necks had been broken. "No!" Terra tried to use her powers again but they still wouldn't. With a horrified expression on her face, Terra backed away from them until another light appeared behind her and she felt her foot hit something.
"Terra", at the sound of her voice, Terra quickly spun around and was soon wishing that she hadn't. Lying there, in a pool of his own blood, was Beast Boy and there was a large stone spike impaled through his chest. Terra's heart was breaking at the sight of the others but at this, her heart had shattered into a billion pieces.
"Beast Boy. What happened?" It took every ounce of her strength and willpower to keep herself from breaking down in fits of uncontrollable sobbing.
"Terra, how could you do this to us? You traitor", venom was evident in his tone as he spat the last word. Terra couldn't believe what she had just heard. Hearing that from someone she cared so much for was like someone was driving a red hot dagger through her heart. Beast Boy's eyes suddenly widened before they and his head dropped and his breath stopped. "Beast Boy? Beast Boy! BEAST BOY, WAKE UP!" When he didn't respond, she could no longer hold back the tears that were pouring down her face. Her crying was immediately halted when she heard the sound of a familiar woman laughing evilly. A grey beam of energy burst forth from the ground and Terra could see a humanoid figure inside. Terra's eyes widened and her heart nearly stopped as the figure stepped out of the light and let herself be fully seen by Terra.
The woman was Terra, or at least the former her. She looked exactly looked Terra except that she was wearing a dark gray metal suit with white bandages tied around her arms and stomach. There were also two metal devices in her hair and a black "S" inside of an orange circle on her chest. It was the suit that Terra wore when she was the apprentice to the criminal mastermind known as Slade. Terra's shock and horror quickly turned into hate and anger, "WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY FRIENDS?!"
The other her just laughed, "I didn't do anything to them. We did. Don't you remember when we worked for Slade? How we hunted down the titans, with the intention of slaughtering them like wild animals? It's just like that, the only difference being that we actually accomplished the act this time."
Terra was visibly shaking with fury, "Don't you EVER say that! I-I've changed. I wouldn't even think about hurting my friends," the sincerity evident in her words only made the other Terra roll her eyes.
"If that were true, your so called "friends" wouldn't be lying in pools of their own blood right now."
"Shut up."
"The feeling of wiping them from the universe felt great."
"Shut up."
"The look of terror and betrayal on their faces was extraordinary."
"I SAID SHUT UP!"
The other Terra just looked at her with disgust, "Pathetic." She slammed her fist into the ground and a large column of white energy burst from the ground and completely consumed Terra.
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" Terra woke up in a cold sweat, breathing heavily. She looked around and found herself back in Titans Tower. She looked at the digital clock on her nightstand and saw that it was 6:17 am. She sighed and got out of bed as she prepared to start her day.
(Song) [+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+]
A little while later, all of the titans were in the living room and relaxing. Robin was putting food leftover from breakfast in the refrigerator, Raven was reading a book, and Beast Boy, Cyborg, Starfire, and Terra were all watching TV.
As Robin walked over, he could see that there was something that appeared to be troubling Terra.
"Hey Terra, are you okay?"
The troubled look on her face immediately disappeared and was replaced with a smile, "Yeah, I'm fine." Robin personally didn't believe her, but decided to drop the matter. For now.
As Terra looked back to the action show the others had put on, Terra saw some kind of super powered villain mowing down a lot of a group of superheroes who tried to fight him. In this image, Terra saw an image of herself doing the exact same thing to the titans. Not just her teammates, but all of the Teen Titans from around the world. Terra was immediately on her feet, with her hands and eyes glowing and in a fighting stance.
"Terra! Terra!" Hearing Beast Boy calling her name, Terra blinked her eyes and saw no threat in the area and all of her friends staring at her with confused faces. She powered down as Starfire flew over and placed a hand on her shoulder, "Terra, are you alright?"
"Yeah."
"Are you sure? Cause, you don't seem very alright to me," Cyborg said as he stepped in front of her.
Raven flew over the couch, "Terra, we're your friends. If there's something wrong, you can tell us."
She was about to say that she's fine again when she felt a hand close around hers. She turned to see Beast Boy standing there with concern written on his face, "Terra, please. Tell us what's wrong."
Terra finally sighed and said, "Okay."
"Aw, the little green man is all concerned. Ain't that sweet?" Terra froze as she heard the sound of her own voice, but it wasn't her that was speaking. Terra looked past the titans and saw the "past" version of herself leaning against the wall and waving at her with a diabolical grin on her face. The rage inside of Terra shot from zero to twenty in about three point two seconds as she powered herself up and prepared to attack the doppelganger.
"Terra, stop!" Beast Boy didn't know what was going on with her but, at the power that was radiating from her, she could end up bringing down the entire tower.
"No!"
"Terra!"
"What are you doing girl?!" Before any of them could do anything, Terra's entire body was coated in black energy before she fell to the floor.
Standing there was Raven with glowing white eyes, "Sorry but, with the anger I could feel from her, there was no telling the amount of destruction she could have caused."
Starfire was frowning at Terra's unconscious form on the floor, "Oh, I am worried. What has become of our friend?"
Robin stood with a thoughtful expression on his face, "Don't know, but we're going to find out."
[+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+]
The team was all currently in the infirmary, waiting for the results of a few tests that Cyborg had run on Terra to try and determine what was wrong with her.
Beast Boy was sitting in a chair next to the bed and had been holding onto her hand ever since they had sent her down. Raven said that she put Terra into a coma-like trance. This would render her unconscious while also keeping her calm until they could figure out how to help her.
"Well Cyborg, anything?"
"(Sighs), I'm sorry BB, but I'm finding nothing. As far as I can could, Terra is perfectly fine."
Beast Boy looked back to the peaceful face of his girlfriend, "No, there's something that's different. Why did she act that why back in the living room if she was fine?"
Raven weighed in, "Maybe the problem is less a physical one and more of a mental one."
"Mental?" The confusion tone of Starfire's question told Raven that she had to elaborate.
"Cyborg said so himself, there isn't anything wrong with Terra physically but we all know that there has to be a reason for her strange behavior from earlier. It's possible that the reason is that she's facing some kind of mental problem."
Cyborg stepped away from the machinery and let out a heavy sigh, "Look y'all, I'm sorry but I don't have the slightest idea as to how to fix whatever kind of mental problem Terra is having."
After a few moments of silence, Raven spoke up, "I have something that might work. But it'll be risky and I'm only considering it as a last resort."
Robin crossed his arms over his chest, "I think, no, I know that I speak for all of us when I say that it'll be worth the risk to save our friend. Besides, it's not like we have any other brilliant just lying around. Whatever this something is, go get it." Raven nodded and walked out of the room.
About thirty seconds later, Raven walked back into the room holding a strange looking handheld mirror. It was a dark grey color with two spikes coming out of the end of both the top and bottom of the circle. It had two "openings" on its sides and two small red diamonds that were similar to the one on Raven's forehead, one at the top of the handle and the other was at the top of the circular part. Although Robin and Starfire are confused, it's a mirror that Cyborg and Beast Boy know all too well.
"Whoa wait a minute, you wanna use that thing?"
"I told you Beast Boy that this isn't something I would prefer to use but, considering the circumstances, I really don't think we have any other choice."
Starfire scratched her head, "I am sorry but, exactly what is this mirror and how is it going to help us to help Terra?"
"Think of this mirror as a gateway into ones subconscious. I usually use it to help me meditate but I can augment it to be a gateway into Terra's subconscious. Once there, it'll be much easier for us to determine what's bothering her," Raven explained.
Beast Boy still didn't look convinced, "I don't know, are we sure that this is the best idea. I mean Raven, can't you use your powers to try and help her from here?"
"Unfortunately, my powers can only do so much. I've been trying to help her from here but, nothing has worked."
Robin put his hand on his changeling friend's shoulder, "I can understand why you're hesitant about this Beast Boy, but it might be our only chance to help Terra or this problem could get considerably worse."
Beast Boy sighed. He still didn't like this plan, but he knew that it might be their only chance to help her. "Okay, I'm fine."
"So am I." (Robin)
"Me too." "Starfire)
"Let's do this thing." (Cyborg)
Raven gave her teammates a nod before sitting on the floor and setting the mirror down in front of her. In a few seconds, the mirror levitated into the air, glowed black, and produced a yellow wave of energy that flew into Terra's forehead before its glowing stopped. She turned to her team, "Ready?" The multitude of nods gave Raven her answer. The mirror glowed again only, this time, it glowed yellow. Five energy waves came out and engulfed all of the titans, excluding Terra. The titans themselves became pure energy as they all flew into the mirror, which then gently sent itself on the ground.
[+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+]
When their "trip" was finished, the team was left a little woozy. After taking a few seconds to recover, they looked around to try and get their barring. They found themselves in a...desert. There was nothing but sand and sand as far as their eyes could see. The sky was a calming blue color which did help ease the titan's tension of having to take a walk through their friend's mind.
Beast Boy was the first to comment, "Um, does anybody know where we are? Ya know, besides in Terra's mind?"
"Nope," was all Cyborg had to say as he was trying to find anything in their vicinity except for sand.
"Well, I guess we better start walking," Robin said as he began the trek with his teammates following him.
The titans had no clue exactly how long they were walking. They weren't really sure if time passed the same way in here as it does in the real world, and that fact was starting to show. Starfire was in the air above her friends trying to locate something, anything, that could help them with their mission. As she was looking, she finally spotted something, "Friends, look!"
The titans turned to where she was pointing and saw a rather small looking mountain that wasn't too far away from them. It stood between thirty and forty feet tall but what really caught the titan's eyes was that, sitting on a ledge of this mountain, was a person who was covered in a brown cloak.
Starfire decided to fly to this individual, "Oh, excuse me friend! Could you perhaps help my team and I on our journey?!" The figure seemed shocked to see others here and immediately began climbing to put distance between them and these "newcomers".
Knowing that this person could help them, the titans quickly made their way up the mountain to follow them. Eventually, the figure found themselves close to the edge and the titans were directly behind them.
"S-Stay back!" The figure thrust her hand upwards and the ground began to shake. The titans quickly moved out of the way as a large stone spike burst from the ground. In an attempt to incapacitate them, Robin threw an explosive ring at their feet and sent them collapsing to the ground. The motion caused the figure's hood to fall off and the titans got an incredible shock.
This figure looked exactly like Terra excluding her hair and eyes, both of which were as black as the night. "G-G-Get a-away f-from m-m-me!" Her voice also shocked the titans. She sounded exactly like Terra, but her voice was full of fear and the titans could see the terror in her eyes.
Robin took a few steps to her and got down on a knee so he would be looking her in the eyes, "It's okay, I promise that we aren't going to hurt you. We just want to know if you can help us."
"I am confused," Starfire whispered to the others, "Who is she?"
"Fear," Raven stated in her usual impassive tone.
Cyborg's head turned to her, "Fear?"
"Terra's fear. We're inside her mind remember? She must be one of Terra's emotions, the one representing fear in this case."
They all turned to see the representation, "Fear", staring at Robin's outstretched hand, "It'll be okay, just trust me." Fear seemed to be hesitant but, after a little while, finally decided to trust him as she took his outstretched hand.
"W-Why are you all here?" She asked Robin with crossed arms, although she wouldn't meet his eyes.
"Something is wrong with Terra, and we're here to figure out what it is. Do you know anything that might be able to help us? Do you know why she's like this or where we could go to fix the problem?"
"Yeah, I've noticed the problems she's been having. I-I could lead you all to the problem." Robin smiled at put a hand on her shoulder, to which she flinched a little, "Thank you." Fear would be lying if she said that the smile and thanks she heard from Robin didn't make her feel better. Heck, it actually made her smile a little bit which wasn't something she did all the time.
Upon hearing her, Starfire immediately flew over with a large, friendly smile on her face, "Oh, thank you very much for helping! This means a very great deal to us!"
Robin had to pull Starfire away because she was starting to scare Fear again, "Starfire, it might be helpful if you tone down the excitement just a little bit. Since Fear is literally the representation of Terra's fears, I imagine that she's pretty easy to scare." Starfire pouted a little bit, because she doesn't really like toning down her excitement since that's simply who she is, but she begrudgingly nodded her head.
Wanting to fix the frown on her face, Robin pulled his girlfriend in for a quick kiss. As they pulled away, he noticed that she was in a much better mood. He then turned to Fear, "Lead the way."
[+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+]
The team had been walking for a little while with Fear being the one to lead them this time. Every once in a while, one of them would ask Fear either where their going or how far till they get there. Every time, however, she would just respond by telling them that they'll be there soon and to trust her as she has trusted them.
As they continued to walk, the titans began to notice something off in the distance. As they got close enough, they noticed that it was a large sphere made of stone. It had a hole in the middle which made it look like a gateway.
Fear motioned for them titans to stop when they were directly in front of the sphere, "Well, this is it. This is as far as I can take you. Once you walk through, someone else will have to help you from there."
"Who?" Cyborg asked.
Fear's cheeks actually turned a little pink, "Trust me, you'll know them when you see them."
"I'll go first," Robin said to his team before walking up and looking at Fear, "Thank you." She gave a small smile and nodded to the boy wonder. He then stepped through the stone and completely disappeared. The rest of the titans soon followed suit and, one by one, they all left the desert.
This left Fear alone with her thoughts, "They were nicer than I thought."
[+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+]
As the team completely their journey, they all joined Robin to inspect where they were now. This place was a lot less...dry than the one from before. It appeared as though they were near a waterfall. Carefully, they walked across the stone beneath their feet and peered over the edge.
Cyborg then tapped them all on the shoulders and pointed to their left. There, sitting near the edge, was another representation of Terra. Although, this one seemed to be calmer and happier than Fear was (although that's not very surprising). The only difference between this figure and the real Terra was that her hair was a light shade of pink.
Beast Boy was the one who stepped up this time, "Um, excuse me? Ms. Representation?" The figure turned to him and Beast Boy actually flinched a little when she gave him a, rather, seductive smile, "Hello Beast Boy." That tone in her voice really confused the others as well, but it only made Beast Boy uncomfortable. "Um, we were wondering if you can help us."
The figure giggled before standing up and making her way over to Beast Boy. Since she was only a representation of Terra and not actually her, it made Beast Boy a little uncomfortable as to how close she was getting to him. When she looked directly into his eyes, he saw that hers were the same shade of pink as her hair was.
"Oh, I'd be happy to," the smile on Beast Boy's face turned into a shocked one with wide eyes and slightly red cheeks as she stretched out her hand and caressed his cheek, "And just, what can I do for a big, strong, and handsome guy like you?" Beast Boy actually took a step back from this, to which she responded by taking a step forward.
Ultimately though, Cyborg was the one who stepped forth to save his friend, "Whoa, whoa, whoa, easy there girl. We all need your help. There's something wrong with our friend and we need to now if you can help us."
She seemed to pout at being separated from Beast Boy, but that was soon replaced with a friendly yet unhappy smile, "Yes, I know of what's been going on with Terra recently. It isn't exactly easy to miss. I can't exactly help you, but I can lead to in the right direction. Just follow me," she walked a few feet away before turning and smirking at Beast Boy, "Especially you, handsome," she winked which caused the changeling to hide behind his metal friend.
"She's supposed to be another representation?" Robin asked to Raven and Starfire a little later as they were being led. Beast Boy was walking near the front and her, but had Cyborg walk in front of him for protection. He doubted she would try anything but you can never be too careful, right?
"Yes," Raven answered, "And, judging on how she interacted with Beast Boy, I'd say that she's a representation of Terra's love."
"Suddenly her treatment of Beast Boy doesn't seem so out of place," Robin stated with a small smirk as Beast Bot was trying to put as much distance between him and "Love" as possible.
Similar as with Fear, Love led the titans to some kind of gateway. Only this one appeared to be a small stream on the ground. Love stepped aside and motioned with her hand, "Go on."
The titans looked at Love, then at the stream in front of them, and then back at Love. "Um, you're kidding right?" Cyborg commented.
Love shook her head, "Nope, just step through here to continue your journey. There are two on the other side who'll lead you to exactly where you need to be if you want to help Terra."
"We have to step into the stream?" Starfire was just as confused as the others were.
Love rolled her eyes and laughed, "Yes. Although-," she quickly closed the distance between her and Beast Boy, "You can stay here if you want."
Beast Boy's eyes widened and he stepped closer to the stream, "Um yeah so, we better get moving we have stuff to do. And, um, and a friend to have," he chuckled nervously as he turned back to the stream. He took a step in it and then another. When he took a third step, however, he completely fell into the stream and disappeared from the titan's line of sight.
To say that they were shocked didn't exactly cut it. Raven glance immediately turned to Love, "What just happened?"
"Don't worry, he's fine. That's supposed to happen. Now, the rest of you better get moving." With a flick of her hand, Love caused the earth beneath the titans to move into the middle of the stream and they plummeted just like Beast Boy did. When they landed, they found themselves in some kind of meadow. There were hundreds, if not thousands, of flowers with a few trees here and there and grass covered the ground completely.
As the team was recovering from their fall, they saw a shadow pass over them. "Wow, you guys really had a hard landing." The teens looked up to find, what they assumed was, another representation of Terra. This one had orange hair and eyes and had a bright friendly smile of her face that could put Starfire to shame. They all stood up to see Beast Boy standing there next to another representation, this one with dark blue hair and eyes and seemed to frowning.
Being the leader, Robin decided to be the first to talk, "Um, hi."
The orange haired one quickly grabbed Robin's hand and shook it fiercely, "Hi there! It's really nice to meet you guys! I've heard so much about you! You can call me Joy and that's my friend Depression. It's really cool to see you guys."
Being the leader, Robin decides to step up first, "If you know who we are, would it be safe to assume that you know why we're here?"
"Oh yeah, all the craziness that's been going on with Terra. I'm glad that you guys are here to fix it, it's been a real bummer this last little while. You know what, we're going to help you get to your destination much faster. Depression! I could use some help!"
Depression merely sighed, "I don't see what the point is, it's not like any of us are going to stop this. It'll probably just put continuous strain on Terra's mind until something important just gives out."
Joy wrapped her arm around Depression and pulled her in so their cheeks were touching, "Isn't she just adorable?"
The titans really didn't have any to say about the antics of the two representations. "Okay so, you guys just to get behind us." The team did so as Joy and Depression's hands and eyes began to glow the same yellow color as Terra's does and the ground began to shake.
"Hold on," Depression said emotionlessly.
"To what?!" Cyborg exclaimed, with a fearful look on his face.
"It's a figure of speech." With that, a large rock dome covered the area above the seven and the titans suddenly felt themselves traveling underground at incredible speeds. The teens were constantly moving and being flung around the dome but Joy and Depression had their feet firmly planted where they were, focusing on the task at hand.
After about thirty seconds, the dome appeared on the surface again and dispersed. When the disorientation wore off, the titans found themselves on top of an active volcano.
Beast Boy was starting to freak out, "Why did you guys bring us here?!"
Seeing as how Depression was moping about, Joy decided to answer, "You guys wanted to go to the source of Terra's problem and that's exactly where we brought you. Sorry, but we have to go now. Depression and me will just get in the way of you guys if we decide to stay, but we wish you good luck!"
"(Sighs), try not to get killed," Depression stated.
"You two seem like you'd get along real well," Cyborg stated with a smirk on his face to Raven, who just glared in return.
Robin turned to the two representations, "Thank you. Both of you." The both nodded before they summoned up a large rock and flew into the distance.
"So, does anyone know what we're actually looking for?" Raven's question seemed to stump the whole team.
"I think I can help with that," the voice new caused the titans to spin around to its owner. There stood another version of Terra, but this one was different then the others. Her eyes were the same baby blue color as Terra's and her hair was the same blonde only with a single red streak through it. But what really got their attention was her outfit. The silver armor and the "S", it was the same outfit she wore when she betrayed the team and hunted them down with the intention of ending them.
This new "Terra" smirked at their reaction, "What's wrong guys? Don't like my outfit?"
Robin took out his staff, "I guess you're the one whose been causing problems in Terra's mind?"
She just laughed in response, "Wow, I'm surprised you figured it out boy wonder. I guess you are more than just a pretty face," her smirk only grew when she saw Starfire glaring daggers at her for that last comment, "Aw, what's wrong princess? Did I hit a nerve there?" Her eyes and hands then glowed menacingly, "How about we hit a few more?"
She lifted over two dozens boulders from the volcano and chucked them all at the team. "Titans GO!" They were able to quickly move out of the way of the attack. Cyborg and Starfire retaliated by blasting her with their sonic cannon and starbolts respectively, but she just summoned up an extremely large boulder and used it as a shield. She then broke that shield into two restraints and entrapped the two heroes before tossing them away.
The imposter then saw Raven flying in the air and sent multiple small rocks at her as projectiles. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" Raven stopped the rocks in midair, broke them into even smaller pieces, and sent those pieces flying back to their sender with even more force. The imposter used the earth beneath her and moved it, which in turn move her quickly away from the rocks. She created two large hands, grabbed Raven, and slammed her into the ground.
Hearing a yell, she summoned rocks to her arm to form a stone gauntlet just in time to block a staff strike from Robin. She summoned another stone gauntlet and began swinging wildly at Robin, who was agile enough to either avoid or block all of them. "Okay, now you're just getting on my nerves." She put her geokinetic energy into the gauntlets and slammed them both into the ground. The result energy sent Robin flying over the edge of the volcano. Thinking fast, Robin quickly pulled out his grappling hook and fired toward the top. It latched deeply into a rock and stopped Robin's plummet to his death.
The imposter smirked, before she heard a roar from behind her and turned to see Beast Boy in the form of a sabre-tooth tiger. He pounced at her but she quickly rolled out of the way. "You all actually think that you can defeat me? You aren't anything." She summoned up a large slab of stone and sent it down on Beast Boy, causing him to change back and be pinned to the earth. "What? You think that because I'm some kind of representation or manifestation that it'll be easy for me to lose. Ha! You're so wrong! In fact, let me show you what I mean." She snapped her fingers and a cube came up from the earth. One of the sides opened and in the cube, in chains, was the real Terra!
Beast Boy's eyes widened at this sight, "Terra!" His shock turned into anger as he glared at the imposter, who only laughed in response.
"Do you see? She was once strong but now she's weak. And, once she's out of the way, I'll be taking over as the driving force for our body."
"How could you do something like this?!" Starfire and the others had recovered and they were in fighting stances.
"Please, I'm not to blame here. This is all Terra's fault to begin with."
Robin's glare didn't waver, "What are you talking about?"
"I'm a representation of one of Terra's five main emotions, I believe you've already met the other four. It's because of this that, at any given time, I can only possess a fifth of the power that Terra does. However, one day, I noticed that she was abnormally angry. At herself." Upon seeing the titans confused expressions, she decided to explain.
"This was angry because of her betrayal. She was a stranger to you all and yet you took her in and treated her like family, but yet she turned on you as if you were nothing and personally hunted you all down as if you were nothing more than wild animals," Beast Boy seemed to take offence to that last comment, but she just smiled and continued, "Ever since that day she has been furious with herself and all of that anger and hatred has existed for months. The longer it's there, the stronger I can become. By now, I've become as strong as I need to. Once I deal with all of you, I'll get rid of Terra and this body and its full power will be mine permanently."
Cyborg pointed his sonic cannon directly at her hand, "You're insane if you think that we're going to let that happen."
"Oh, didn't I say? You don't get a vote." The imposter summoned up stone hands and entrapped the entire team, "I feel like I'm going to enjoy this," she then began squeezing and the titans began yelling in pain.
"Stop it!" Terra tried to free herself and help her friends, but couldn't free herself. The image of all of her friends in such pain was unbearable for her and she realized that this was just like the dream she had.
No, no I can let this happen! You have to get out of here, you're stronger than this Terra!
The sounds of her friends in pain was starting to anger Terra, but she quickly calmed herself in fear that she would only make her stronger. She sighed deeply before opening her glowing yellow eyes, "This is my body!" The booming sound of her voice commanded attention from the imposter and her friends, "I'm the one in control and I say ENOUGH!" In a large flash of yellow, Terra burst forth from her prison and simultaneously freed all of her friends. She then glared at her representation, "This is between you and me and it ends now!"
"I couldn't agree more." The two of them levitated into the air on rocks and floated there glaring at each other. Suddenly, they both summoned up a multitude of rocks, turned them into spikes, and flung them at each other. They were both simultaneously dodging the attacks and creating more spikes to attack with.
They both suddenly stopped their onslaught and flew directly toward one another, a shockwave being caused as their fists connected. The two rocks fused into one as the two Terras engaged in hand-to-hand combat. Terra threw a punch which the imposter caught and then swept Terra's legs, causing her to fall. Terra then looked up and moved out of the way as the imposter's foot came slamming where her face used to be.
The imposter then began throwing multiple punches, which Terra was barely able to dodge before she summoned a restraint to trap the imposter but she immediately broke free. Angry, she threw another punch but Terra moved out of the way and landed a kick directly to her stomach which brought her to her knees. How calm Terra was only made the imposter angrier and her attacks became sloppier. Thanks to the training she had received from Robin, it was simple for her to dodge all of the imposter's strikes.
The imposter threw a punch but Terra quickly caught it. She then threw another punch but Terra was able to catch that one too. Her eyes then glowed at she glared at the imposter, "This is over." She jumped and slammed both feet into her chest, which sent the imposter falling off the rock and onto the ground. The imposter glowed a red light and her appearance changed. She wore exactly what Terra did only her hair and eyes were a blood red color. She had reverted to her normal form as the representation of Terra's anger.
Terra flew down to "Anger" and the two glared at one another. "It's over."
Anger stood up and crossed her arms, "You're right, Terra. I guess you win," she turned around, "This time." The earth beneath her lifted into the air and Anger flew off into the distance.
Terra let out a breath and turned to her friends with a smile on her face, "Not to sound needy but, do you think we can go now?"
The team turned to Raven who nodded and placed her hands together, "Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" The six teens glowed immensely and then disappeared.

The titans all woke up back into the infirmary that they had started out it. "Were we victorious?" Starfire asked her friends.
"I'd say so," they turned to see Terra getting up from the bed, seeming as good as new.
"Terra!" Starfire flew over and grabbed her friend in a bone-crushing hug.
"Okay, Starfire I'm fine. But I won't be if you don't let go."
Robin decided to ask what they were thinking, "So, how were you able to defeat that anger representation?"
Terra sighed, "Forgiveness. You guys told me that you forgave me for what I did, but I think it took me being able to forgive myself to really fix the problem."
Beast Boy walked over, "Good, I'm glad you do." The two of them shared a smile.
"Yeah, that reminds me. You guys didn't do anything weird while you were in my mind, did you?"
"No. Well, we didn't but you might have to ask about Beast Boy and your love representation," Cyborg said, with Beast Boy shushing him. He then began laughing nervously at the suspicious look on Terra's face.
Raven picked up the mirror, "Glad that's over."
"Yeah," Cyborg commented, "What say we celebrate with some of Cyborg's famous homemade pancakes?"
Starfire's eyes lit up, "Oh joyous, I shall enjoy them with the Earth mustard condiment." She and Cyborg left the room.
The others soon followed but Raven stopped at the doorway to see Terra looking out the window, "Hey, that was some impressive work you did in there."
Terra smiled, "Thanks Raven."
"You know, if you ever have any other problems like this, you can come to me if not anyone else."
"I'll remember that," with that, the two girls walked out to join their friends.
(Author's Note: And there ends chapter # ten! At this point, I'd say that the story is about two-thirds of the way done. Also, I have what could be consider an announcement. I'm debating whether or not to start a little side story to work on while I'm writing other stories, it's basically my own version of Death Battle. For those who don't know, Death Battle is a popular show on YouTube that has been going on for about six or seven years now. If you haven't seen it, you should. Go to YouTube and type in Death Battle. They have about three seasons, seventy-one episodes, and are going to start season 4 on February 1st. I really enjoy it but there are some fights that I'd like to see but I don't think will be done because they have their own ideas and they have, probably, over four dozens death battle suggestions for every episode. I'm just thinking of doing this little side story for a while, but I'm not sure. This is because I've seen a lot of complaints the hosts get for certain outcomes of their fights and I don't want to put up with that. I'd appreciate it if you guys could tell me your opinion on this is and I'll be thinking about whether or not I'll go through with this. I'll try to have an answer by the next chapter. Currently, I don't think I'll be doing this but I'm not sure. I may or I may not, only time will tell:) Anyway, I really hope that you guys enjoyed, what may be, my longest chapter yet. Please leave my a review and I'll see you all next time:)
