THE FORGOTTEN

Starfire has finally made her way through all three challenges of the True Master. Will she and the True Master be able to help restore Robin's memories, or will he be doomed to lose his past forever? And what will happen to Beast Boy, Raven, and Cyborg, now that reinforcements have finally arrived?

Chapter 9 - Starfire's War

The wind blew softly against the wind chime that hung near the window. It's soft chime pulled Starfire out of her temporary daze and brought her back to her senses. It had not been long since she had made it to the top of True Master's mountain, Starfire had taken refuge in the same room where Robin slept quietly. His wounds were almost completely healed, but his mind was a different matter. Together, they had overcome impossible odds before, the Teen Titans had saved the city from Slade on more than on occasion, stopped Brother Blood, defeated Raven's father and even defeated the infamous Brotherhood of Evil. The challenge she faced now was completely different from any opponent she had faced in the past. If Robin truly didn't remember anything, then he would have forgotten about everything. He would have forgotten about his past, and more importantly, he would have forgotten about her. Starfire fidgeted in her place for a moment, the thought of being forgotten made her cringe, especially to someone who was very important to her.

"You must not worry, young one..." The True Master spoke in an almost gentle tone, yet it was still in that matter of fact aspect, "I know you are worried about him, but there is nothing we can do until he wakes up. Once that has happened, we will be able to make a proper analysis and take the appropriate action."

Starfire did not like hearing the True Master talk about Robin so calmly and objective like. Wasn't he her student too? Did he really mean that little to her?

"We need to go over a few guidelines, a few rules as it were when he does wake up..." The True Master sipped her tea once more before continuing, "When the young warrior does reawaken, we must ensure he does not remove his mask or try to go by any other name than what he is known for..."

Starfire looked a bit perplexed, she was confused as to why the True Master was making these rules. She wanted to ask her about them, but the True Master continued to explain.

"I have done some research on our young friend here. It would appear that he has a great ally, and if his identity were to come out into the open recklessly, then he would be putting many people in danger..."

Starfire's eyebrows raised as the True Master finished speaking. When herself and Robin had met, she did not know anything about his past. She remembered how odd it felt that wherever they went, everyone seemed to know who Robin was, everyone except for her. Beast Boy had tried explaining once that he was a legend in another city to the east, but his explanation was a bit too much for her. Cyborg had later simplified it by telling her one day that his partner was notoriously known for hunting down the villains of Gotham City. It was years afterward that Robin had first made his appearance, yet nobody seemed to know who he was or where he came from. Robin was as much of a mystery as his master, and that was what made him famous.

Suddenly, it made sense to her why his secret needed to be kept. If he did reawaken and removed his mask, the consequences from such an act were at too great of a risk for any kind of an attempt to. When Robin woke up, he would have to be taught that his name would be Robin, and that his mask would always have to stay on, regardless of what he thought or said...

Starfire squeezed his hand again. Having always worn gloves, she took small pleasure in actually being able to hold onto his hand. They were much rougher than she thought, he had several bruises and calices from extended periods of holding onto bars. Still, she was quite taken a back when she felt her hand being squeezed back.

Starfire's eyes darted towards his head. Robin's eyes were slowly beginning to open. He moaned slightly and winced several times before his eyes opened fully. His eyes looked straight up at the ceiling, and he blinked several times.

"Robin...?" Starfire asked very tentatively. Holding his hand and putting the other behind his back, she helped him sit upright. He looked all around the room, evidently trying to take everything in.

"Who...where...?" Robin asked while rubbing his head. His injuries had not completely healed. My body feels like I just got hit by a train...Why does everything hurt so badly?

Robin rubbed the back of his head several times and winced again as he tried moving slightly. His stomach was in writhing pain, it hurt to take deep breaths. He looked all around the room. He was inside what looked like the interior of an old Chinese mansion, stacked several stories high, yet never occupying much space. He was able to see outside, they were apparantly on top of some mountain. Looking around, Robin was finally able to take everything in. He glanced over at a very short old lady, she was sipping some tea, without so much as noticing a thing. Then, his eyes met a red-headed girl. She was very pretty, yet for some strange reason, he was having a tough time placing her.

"You were ambushed by a very dangerous individual. The two of us have brought you here to recover your strength." The red headed girl spoke to him. Her voice was familiar, yet distant. It soon became clear that he did not know who she was.

"Who...are you?" Robin asked as he was finally able to sit up under his own power. The young red-headed girl simply smiled at him, yet for some reason, he could tell something was deeply troubling her.

"My name is Starfire, it is a pleasure to meet you..." She held out her hand as if they were introducing themselves for the first time.

Robin reached out his hand to accept it, "Thank you, my name is..."

Robin stopped. He couldn't remember his own name. It was not a comforting experience as no matter what he tried, he still could not tell what his name was. This is crazy! How could I not know what my own name is?! He struggled to find his name for just a few more moments, then finally conceding, terrified at the fact he did not know who he was.

"I don't know who I am..." Robin's voice had a hint of discourse to it. Even now, Starfire could tell he was not enjoying the fact of himself not knowing who he was. Additionally, it hurt even more to know that he had also forgotten about her.

"When you were ambushed young one..." The old lady interrupted his chain of thought. Both Robin and Starfire turned to face her as she continued to speak, "The members who attacked you are part of an ancient order known as the Forgotten. Their powers are horrifying and overwhelming, it's a miracle in itself you managed to survive. Yet, I suppose we should explain to you, what exactly has happened to you..."

Meanwhile, back in Jump City...

"You put off saving us until the very last moment, but I guess I can't complain..." Cyborg said to his reinforcements. "It's been a long time, Kid Flash, Jinx..."

The wonder kid known as Kid Flash, the son of the legendary speedy Flash, had joined forces with the Teen Titans when they faced off against the Brotherhood of Evil. In addition, Jinx had also switched sides, feeling it was her time to finally grow up as well.

"Looks like we know who Beast Boy contacted back at the Tower..." Raven spoke up. Everything was becoming a bit more clear now. Even though she would never admit it out loud, he did do things that were very useful at times.

"Yeah, and just in time. What the heck is that guy? We caught a glimpse of him using that huge sword of his..." Jinx backflipped as she took her place right beside Kid Flash. Several small boulders fell down, Motaro was soon to reappear.

"It's a long story, let's just say this guy isn't your ordinary bad guy. We've tried everything to slow him down, yet nothing seems to work. His strength is proposterous..." Beast Boy answered both of their questions as Motaro burst through the rubble.

"I must say, having two more of you brats is almost enough to get my attention. The three I fought earlier weren't much of a challenge. Hopefully now, I'll have some decent competition..." Motaro smirked as he held up his sword one more time. He curled his finger several times at the five Teen Titans, encouraging them to charge.

"Fine, if that's the way you wanna play it!" Kid Flash charged without another word, his speed was way too fast, all anyone could see were the images of where he was. Jinx leaped forward with a front flip after him, with Cyborg screaming behind them.

"No! Don't do it guys! He's much stronger than you think he is!!!"

It was too late, though. Kid Flash started doing circles all around Motaro. His legs were moving so fast that it was kicking up a lot of dust, causing it to temporarily blind Motaro. Jinx leaped high up into the air and fired several of her pink blasts at his feet, causing the ground to crack and his feet to fall about a foot in. Motaro's eyes widened as Kid Flash came to a halt right in front of him and unleashed a barrage of punches right in his face. Kid Flash kept going at it, but soon backed off as Motaro started laughing.

Kid Flash backed off momentarily, Jinx landed right beside him. Impossible...all those punches were at full power. Yet, I never felt like I was the one in control...

Motaro grimaced a bit as he smirked. "I thought you two would have much more power than that, but it would appear I put too much faith in getting some decent competition today. Perhaps it's better off if I just wipe you all out at once!!!"

Motaro's sword began to glow again as he raised his sword into the air, "GROUND CRUSHER!!!", with a huge slam into the ground, all five Titans felt the ground start to move under their feet. None of them were able to move, as it felt like an earthquake. Jinx's eyes widened as she saw Motaro charge at her, but Kid Flash leaped in between the two and both of them were knocked back towards Raven, Beast Boy, and Cyborg.

"Hahahaha!!! Do you see it now, Teen Titans? My sword gives me the power to destroy anything in my path! I am the God of Destruction!!! Unless you can beat my technique, you will never be able to win!!! Hahahahaha!!!" Motaro laughed as he pointed at the five Teen Titans.

"I told you it was useless to try. He's just to strong of an opponent to attack head on. If you try and attack him from a distance, he uses that technique and up close, our attacks aren't doing anything to hurt him at all..."Cyborg stated as he reevaluated the situation in front of them. Things were definitely not looking good. He was running out of ideas, and they were no closer to stopping his rampage.

"Cyborg..." Raven's voice removed him from his trance, "If brute strength isn't possible, then what about using our heads?"

Cyborg's human eye widened. Of course! Why didn't I think of that?! That gives me an idea...

"Ok, guys, listen up. I've got an idea on how to put big and stupid there out of commission..." Cyborg commanded. This will be a gamble though, if this doesn't work, we'll be done for...

Meanwhile, back with Robin, Starfire, and the True Master...

"So let me get this straight..." Robin started, "Basically there are 5 legendary fighters out there whose very presence endangers the lives of every human on the planet, my name is Robin, and I'm not allowed to take off this mask because it could be potentially dangerous to everyone in my life?"

Starfire nodded at him as he recounted everything back to her and the True Master. She could tell he didn't quite believe everything they had told him, yet for now he was willing to play along.

"Ok, then. And I'm the leader of a group of heroes which I helped found called the Teen Titans, which has saved the world and defeated countless enemies who would like nothing more than to destroy the good things in life?" Robin finished.

Again, Starfire nodded as he finished. She had asked if he was able to remember anything about himself, his past, or present. Her heart ached and felt like it weighed over 10 tons when he replied that he didn't.

"It's getting late, perhaps we should turn in for the night. Tomorrow, we shall head into town, perhaps there you may come across something that may help." The True Master finally spoke up.

"But Master, how could something like that help him regain his memories?" Starfire inquired.

"Oh my young dear, you would be surprised at how the littlest thing can sometimes bring about a memory. Sometimes its something as simple as a sound, a sight or even a place. That will have to wait until tomorrow though, until then, I bid you both a good night. You'll find separate sleeping quarters on the second floor, I've already prepared beds for the both of you..."

And with that said, all three retreated for the night, everyone hoping that tomorrow would be able to help.

Kid Flash and Jinx have arrived on the scene to help the other Teen Titans face Motaro. Will Cyborg's plan be enough to help defeat the tall brute, or will it be the end for the heroes? And will the True Master's plan to bring Robin into town be able to help job his own memories?

Next Time: Chapter 10 - Flashes of the Past

Robin, Starfire, and the True Master find something themselves in a shocking situation as the other Teen Titans launch their own counterattack. Robin's memories begin to flash back at him, letting him relive the coldest day of his past. You definitely won't want to miss it!
