Once again, thank you to my supporters and reviewers!!! Love you guys!!!
SithKnight-Galen – Actually Slade has no idea about what Terra and Red X are doing, but he does have a master plan at hand. The next Titan who will fall into a coma will be revealed in this chapter and Deathstroke's main goal at the time was to distract Cyborg, and not hurt him seriously, according to Red X's orders.
BeastBoy4pres052 – Thanks once again for the review!!! One more reason to smile today!!!
Okay, so we left off where Red X had a great plan and how Robin was determined to stop the couple once and for all. Well, let's just see whose goal is gonna push through, shall we?
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Meanwhile…
Robin sat behind the desk of his room, his mind ever so deep in thought. Ever since he had found out the truth about Ravager X's identity, his mind wouldn't let him rest.
She was our friend…
We trusted her…
We even took her in after everything she has done to us…
He abruptly stood up and decided to check the villain scanners once more, his anger building.
Why couldn't I stop it?
Why did I just let her walk out the door without anyone to accompany her?
How could I have been so stupid?
And then, he felt something under his feet and looked down.
It was a communicator, similar to the one he had created when he was Red X.
He was about to turn it on when he heard a familiar voice behind him.
It was Starfire.
"Robin, I am afraid Cyborg has something terrible to tell you…"
She dragged him all the way to the hospital wing, his heart beating so fast, he was wondering if Starfire could hear it as well.
The first thing Robin saw upon entering the quiet ward was Beast Boy and Raven's unconscious forms. They were pale, and the scanners beside their beds only showed more bad news…
Their vitals were unstable.
Cyborg was in front of the ward's main computer and when he heard Robin and Starfire step into the room, he turned around with a grave expression on his face.
"Robin, Beast Boy and Raven are-"
Robin braced himself for what Cyborg was going to say next, knowing that this going to be horrible news.
This is it…
Here it comes…
Are they okay?
Are they dying?
Are they-
"In a coma." Cyborg couldn't believe how easily the words had just slipped out of his mouth and he awaited Robin's reaction.
He had a shocked look on his face, one that he'd seen only a handful of times, and he shook his face, obviously trying to get over the hard-hitting news.
"But they'll be fine, right?" Robin asked, his voice retaining the confidence it had. Cyborg's face had a mixture of happiness and sadness to it, and that only made Robin even more anxious to know the truth.
"Beast Boy will be."
"What do you mean 'Beast Boy will be'? What about Raven?"
It was now Starfire's turn to speak. She and the mechanical man thought that it would be better for Robin to hear the sadder part of the story from her.
"We are not sure if Raven will be doing the 'all right'. It seems that she is not getting better."
Robin looked at Cyborg, his eyes pleading his teammate to tell him that what Starfire was saying was just a joke.
Unfortunately it wasn't.
He opened his mouth to say something, but the villain alarm had cut him off.
"Who is it, friend Cyborg?" Starfire asked as her friend raised his right arm to check his scanner, but Robin gently pushed his arm back down.
He clenched his trembling fist and stormed the door as he barked his orders, "Cyborg, activate the security systems-and make sure to change the passwords!"
"We're going after Terra." They heard him as the sound of his loud footsteps began to worry Cyborg and Starfire. They have never seen him this mad, he was even angrier than the time he thought Starfire had let Slade escape when he was under the effects of hallucinogen.
"Don't worry, Star," Cyborg placed his hand on his friend's shoulder and she turned her head slowly to face him, "He'll get over it. He always does." The alien princess gave him the first smile she had ever since they found out that Ravager X was actually Terra.
And for a moment, she had truly believed that everything really was going to be just fine.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
In a rain forest somewhere in Africa…
Red X and Terra were in a small tree cutting place, trying to break in the main door. Not a single worker was around, and that made their job a whole lot easier, but the awful rainfall didn't.
Since the Titans knew about Terra's identity, she figured that her mask wasn't of any use so she left it back at Red X's apartment, along with her baseball cap, but otherwise, she wore the costume Red X had given her.
"Stop right there, you two!!!" Robin's voice came up from behind them and Terra gave a wicked smile as the two 'villains' turned around. Robin, Cyborg and Starfire stood in front of them, their faces filled with anger and determination.
"You're not getting away with this, this time Terra." Robin took out a couple of birdarangs and gave the couple a dirty look.
Terra and Red X were unfazed by the look and the blonde actually had the nerve to taunt the martial artist, "Oh, c'mon. How many times have you guys actually tried to stop me and did?"
This only made the Titans angrier and Robin gave the trademark, 'Titans, go!!!' before they attacked.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Meanwhile…
Another mysterious figure crept through the air vents of the Titans Tower, where two comatosed figure stayed amdist the protection of the said building. Judging from its slender build, it was a woman in her early twenties, and she was dressed in a blue and orange combat suit.
As you have pretty much guessed, the intruder was Deathstroke. She was sent by Red X and Terra to get past the tower's defenses and get the chemical Terra found to Raven ASAP.
Apparently, this chemical wasn't the cure, but it would slow down the Uaxendium's effects to buy Red X and Terra just enough time to find the antidote.
"Darn teenagers…" Deathstroke grumbled, crawling her way through the metal compartments.
According to the couple, they had found out that there was a special flower in Africa which might be their one and only chance to save Raven's life and Terra practically begged her to get the chemical to the empath before her condition could worsen.
"They're SOOO gonna pay for this…" Deathstroke moaned but then she thought about what she had just said. The more she thought about what Red X and Terra were doing, the more she realized that the two weren't actually so bad.
What the hell am I saying?!?! Deathstroke, get a hold of yourself.
Ever since what happened with dad, I've been so uptight about it, I haven't been thinking straight!!!
Wait a minute…
I don't have a father.
She angrily flipped open the metal panel in front of her and slid inside it, landing perfectly on her feet in the middle of the training room.
On either sides of her were several mechanical equipment and behind her was a rack of weights. In front of her was a punching bag… and a sliding door.
"Man, their security system-"
Deathstroke was cut off by the sound of mechanical gears and she turned around, only to find herself surrounded by dozens and dozens of combat robots.
The last word she had said was kinda squeaky, especially since she had never expected to bump into the mechanical men.
A lot of mechanical men.
"sucks…"
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Back at the rainforest…
Robin and Cyborg were up to their necks with Red X's taunts while Starfire didn't hesitate to throw as many starbolts as she could at Terra, who was once her friend.
"We gave you another chance, and you have merely-as they say-thrown it in the dump!!! How could you do this to us, Terra?"
"The same way I did before!!!" The blonde summoned sharp, jagged rocks and sent them at Starfire, who blasted them into dust using more of her starbolts.
Meanwhile, Robin prepared a couple of freeze disks while Cyborg launched his sonic cannon at the supervillain.
"I see you guys are nothing without that green kid and the goth on your team, huh?"
Red X just hit a nerve back there.
A really sensitive nerve.
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO THEM?" Robin shouted and faltered on his flying kick, which gave Red X an advantage back there.
"Wouldn't you like to know?" The teenager kicked Robin in the face and the boy wonder came crashing down beside Cyborg, who threw Red X off his feet with a hefty punch.
"You did something to them, I'm sure of it!!!" Robin was already standing beside Cyborg, and the both of them watched Red X jump back on his feet.
Red X gave a sinister laugh and gave a backflip, now standing beside Terra as the couple were surrounded by the three remaining Titans.
"Surrender, X! You're trapped!!!" Cyborg said as they heard the humming of his sonic cannon, tension building between the two groups. Terra and Red X were already at the edge of a cliff, and there was no escape.
"Give it your best shot." Terra taunted them and the three Titans looked at each other, nodding.
Starfire bombarded them with star beams and Robin lashed out his exploding disks as Cyborg blasted them with his cannon.
Unfortunately, the heavy rain fall got worse and Terra's feet were sliding backwards through the mud as she summoned a rock to protect her partner and herself. She had a feeling that this was NOT going to end well.
No matter how much weight she put on her feet, her small frame was really a downfall right now. And the Titans' attacks were only getting stronger…
And then it happened…
The rock shielding Red X fell down to the ground and they looked in front of them just in time to see a huge crack coming between them and the Titans.
"Oh man!!!" He shouted as the ground below him started to slant downwards and the two teenagers stood frozen in place.
Terra lost her footing and slid on her back towards the edge of the cliff. Red X turned around upon hearing Terra's horrifed scream just in time to notice that he and Terra were slipping off the end of the dreaded cliff!!!
"TERRA!!!" He shouted as the crunching sound of the cliff finally breaking off drowned his scream and in that instant, he knew that the worst wasn't over.
In a few seconds, he was going to have the same fate as Terra as he felt the ground below him begin to disappear.
"AAAHHH!!!"
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
