Treasures and Trophies
Chapter Three
Cyborg glanced at his friends, and noticed the complete robot's proximity to Starfire. He scowled immediately, and swung his fist crashing into the robot's head. Atlas growled slightly, and raised his mechanical arms. Then the robot took off running from the room, moving at break-neck speed through the door-way and down the hall. He laughed crazily as he saw Cyborg follow him.
"Yes! Come to Atlas."
The two mechanical beings ran through the maze of underground tunnels quickly and furiously, one gaining on the other as soon as the other robotic forms speed through the labyrinth. Elsewhere, five people viewed their situation in different lights.
"Dude." Beastboy said, his green eyes wide, "He ran away!" Robin glanced at his friend, wishing he could share the green teenager's views.
"You respect Atlas, but he doesn't respect you." Robin said to the human mechanic. "Why else would he have run and not taken you out of possible danger? Think about it." He said, pausing for breath. "You're the only one who can help him. He doesn't know how to work his own equipment." The others stayed thankfully silent, watching Robin enact his plan towards their some-what foe. Just as the human's hand reached out to help the trapped titans, a large crash erupted, hurtling atlas through the wall and at the feet of the teen titans. He did not move.
"Boo-ya!" proclaimed a happy Cyborg, as he sauntered in to see his comrades. "Hey guys." He said nonchalantly, grinning from ear to ear. Starfire giggled loudly before erupting into cheers for Cyborg and his colossal strength, as Raven smiled wanly, and Beastboy cawed excitedly in his Raven form.
Robin didn't move, but stared at Atlas. A few seconds too late, he cried out;
"Cyborg!"
The half-human, half robot turned too late, to see the gigantic robot smash into his side, sending him hurling through the air with an anguished yell. The other titans gasped, willing their friend to get up, to save them. Unbeknownst to the others, Starfire's eyes began to glow with an emerald aura. Raven stared at the defeat of Cyborg, before glancing around her. A green light, very similar to-
"Uh oh."
Starfire's cage was filled with the green light that poured from her eyes as she screamed. Emerald lightning coursed over her body, and she twitched in slight pain as raw energy streamed from her unseeing orbs. Her red hair was thrown away from her face, and her knees fell to the floor as she raised her face upwards, her palms down on the yellow bubble that enclosed around her.
"Starfire!" Robin yelled, and Raven winced at the large amount of power exerting itself from Starfire, as Beastboy watched in amazement. Abruptly, her green power enveloped the circle, creating a sickly greenish yellow cage for the Tamaranian. Atlas watched in fury as his victory turned into a slight defeat. He motioned for the Mechanic.
"Release her." The human slave for the robot nodded slightly, his face ashen. He lowered a lever, and released the girl, who's form was floating, just as a wave of green came from her disappearing bubble. It smashed into the robot, sending him flying backwards, and sending the human to a wall with great force. Robin stared at his friend's floating form, then looked at Raven and Beastboy, silently asking,
'What the heck happened?'
The only response he received was nods and shrugs. Robin noticed that an odd whirring sound was coming from the crater in the wall that was Cyborg, and hoped that his friend would get to Starfire's prone body before the shocked Atlas could.
A.N: sorry about the delay guys, I didn't know I had such support on my side, and you all really made my day when I read all those comments that had popped up. Thank you so much for this and I promise I will continue with all my might to finish this story. Probably two very long chapters and I'll be done. The encouragement helps, along with suggestions for the plot.
