chapter 10

Starfire tried to wriggle her way free of the huge, hard rough hands that were holding her.

"Please, I wish to be let free now" Starfire said trying to get her arms free which were pinned at her sides. Behind her she heard a deep low quiet laugh. Starfire was starting to get frustrated her eyes lit up green and she fired an eye laser at the hands that were holding her. They immediately let go allowing Starfire to fly free.

She turned around and faced her attacker. Cinderblock had recovered and was smiling up at her, Starfire wasted no time before charging towards him bringing her arm back and slamming it down into his chest while flying.

The power caused cinderblock to fall onto his back and skid across the floor, creating a horrible screeching noise which didn't affect Starfire at all she was determined to find her friend and not let anything get in the way of it.

Cinderblock was starting to get up and starfire's hands became enveloped in green, with that she threw starbolt after starbolt at him. A load of smoke covered the warehouse and Starfire dropped her hands her starbolts going out though her eyes still glowing.

She floated slowly down to the floor and started to walk through the smoke; she couldn't see anything and was sure cinderblock had gone down by now until cinderblock swung his arm behind her and into her back causing her to fly into a pile of old boxes.

She quickly got up and looked back into the smoke again but couldn't see anything she lit one of her hands to help her see better in this dull place and cautiously flew forward looking around.

With the help of her starbolt light she could make out the shape of cinderblocks huge body and flew towards him slowly letting her starbolt light go out. When she thought she was close enough she fired an eye beam which hit him straight in the chest.

Cinderblock fell over into a sitting position before Starfire grabbed hold of his leg and with the help of her super strength flung him over her head. When cinderblock hit the ground the room seemed to move for a moment before settling along with most of the dust that was in the air.

Starfire flew over and looked at her enemy on the floor. Thinking that she had defeated him she started to fly away before a hand grabbed her and flung her into a wall. The wood behind her back split with the impact and splintered.

Starfire slowly got back up and noticed that she had dropped her communicator. She went to grab it when she was punched in the back. The force caused her flip over while she was falling and she managed to land on her feet.

She flew towards cinderblock and attempted to kick him but he grabbed her foot. He then flung her into the floor, then into the wall he continued to fling her around each hit bringing more pain to Starfire.

She tried to kick him with her free foot but being flung around constantly made it hard. She looked back at him, he smirked evilly at her. She was determined not to loose, with all her strength she fired an eye beam at his face.

Cinderblock released her feet and brought his hands to his face. Starfire then heard her communicator going of, while cinderblock was distracted she flew off to retrieve it.

Her hand was just about to grab it when she heard cinderblocks heavy footsteps behind her and yet again she was enclosed in his huge hand.

"let me go!" she shouted firing eyebeams at him also with her pinned hands at her side made a huge starbolt that covered her body the heat made cinderblock loosen his grip on her and that was enough to allow her to fly free.

With out hesitation she flew full speed towards his face and punched him continuously, she then grabbed his giant chest flew up into the air with him and then rammed him back down into the floor. Cinderblock was finally defeated.

Starfire got off on the giant's chest and walked over to were she last seen her communicator. When she finally found it she was annoyed to see it broken.

She fell down beside her communicator to get her breath back and decide what to do next. After about a minute she heard a voice in her head.

"Starfire are you ok we couldn't get hold of you?" she heard raven say.

"Yes friend I am fine thank you but my communicator has been destroyed" Starfire replied.

"Starfire have you defeated cinderblock, because Cyborg thought thinks that plasmas, cinderblock and overload where trying to get to each other" raven said even in starfire's head in her usual monotone.

"Yes he is defeated but I still haven't located ember" Starfire said sadly.

"Starfire I think I no where she is you're the closest to her so you'll be able to get there first, she's about five miles north from the warehouse your in, that's all I no, go now Cyborg and bumble bee are almost to the warehouse they'll take care of cinderblock ill tell the other" raven said.

"Ok friend raven thank you I will go and find her now" Starfire said happily that she new where her friend was.

"Starfire be careful, you don't know if slade is with her or not" raven quickly added Starfire could detect slight worry in it.

"do not worry friend I will be I will see you later" Starfire replied before raven left her mind and she took off flying high into the sky in the direction raven told her as fast as she could.

"I'm guessing that you are slade" ember said staring up at the screens. He laughed a low menacing laugh which echoed around the room.

"A clever one I see" slade said sarcastically and ember shivered slightly at his voice.

"What do you want with me?" she asked looking around the dark room.

"I want you to be my apprentice, that is all" slade said and ember glared back at the screen.

"How did you find me? How did you get me here?" ember asked angrily but also slightly curious.

"Well haven't you got allot of questions? I discovered your people under the ground after my last apprentice caused a volcano. That's when I discovered you with your gift. It wasn't hard to get you up here; you walked straight into my machine that transported you up here, sort of like how a volcano works. To bad you won't be going back isn't it?" slade asked eyeing the girl.

"I will go back! Aren't you going to come and face me already or are you going to sit behind a camera like a coward!" ember hissed becoming frustrated.

"If that is what you really want" slade said and the screens crackled off and the door opened. Ember hesitantly stepped outside and looked around. I figure jumped off the roof and landed in front of her. She took a step back.

"Well here I am "slade said and ember charged to punch him and he dodged. She kept throwing punches and he kept dodging she grew even more frustrated and went to kick him she hit him in the chest but it only knocked him backwards slightly.

Seeing she wasn't strong enough to defeat him with out her powers, ember enveloped her hands in flames and went to punch him again he kept dodging but finally managed to make a hit. The power made slade loose his balance.

"Good move but you need more training" slade said before attempting to punch and kick her. She managed to dodge everyone but panicked when she felt the hut behind her back. He went to punch her but quickly jumped back when she became covered in fire.

She leaped into the air and formed a fire ball which she flung down at him. He barley missed it and the land were it hit became engulfed with flames. Ember let the flames around her body go out and just left flames on her hands and feet.

She landed in front of him breathing heavily.

"You have very good skill, with a little training you will be un beatable" slade said looking at the girl before pulling out his staff. He stepped forward and swung it, ember ducked and sweeped her foot under his. The heat from the flames and the force she used was enough to make him fall.

He flipped back up right before charging for her again. This time he managed to land a hit at her side. Ember fell to the floor and hissed in pain from the force he hit her with. She managed to get back to her feet only to be knocked over again from another blow. Ember went to get up but was kicked back down.

She looked up and seen slade looming over her. He went to hit her with his staff again and she closed her eyes. This time she didn't feel an impact instead she opened her eyes to see Starfire stood beside her. Eyes and hands glowing and slade on the floor getting up outside the hut.

"Are you ok?" Starfire asked looking down at ember who was breathing heavily, she nodded and Starfire turned her focus back to slade who was charging towards her.

"Starfire why did you have to interrupt when things were getting interesting" he asked taking a swing at her with his staff which she easily evaded.

"Don't hurt my friend!" she said throwing a punch so powerful he flew back into the hut. He went to get up but Starfire fired an eyebeam. she went to help ember up when she was punched from behind, she got back up to see slade about to strike ember and flew at him top speed and punched him before throwing starbolts at him.
