Chapter 7: Futility

Starfire tried to get starbolts into her hands, but a sharp pain went through her right arm.

'My shoulder is still damaged' she thought.

"This is pointless. You are too injured to provide a worthy challenge." Said Glare. "I see now why Robin doesn't care at all about you."

That last comment broke Starfire's heart. It also released a feeling she hadn't felt in a long time, not even with the Kitten incident, hatred.

"I WILL defeat you" she yelled.

"I would love to see the one armed tamaranian do so." responded Glare.

Meanwhile, Cyborg, Beast Boy, and Raven were finally winning their fight. Dregos and Tyler were both reeling.

"Looks like this won't take much longer." mocked Cyborg.

"Can you handle this alone Dregos?" asked an exhausted Tyler.

"Of course" responded Dregos. Tyler teleported away to rest and prepare for the next battle.

"Are you three ready to see my full abilities?" asked Dregos. Then his left arm began to transform. "My body is much like yours, Beast Boy." His arm completed its transformation into a blade. "But it is far superior." Dregos began to charge at the titans. He swung his arm first at Cyborg, who barely dodged, then at Raven, who also dodged, and finally at Beast Boy, who failed to dodge. Beast Boy's arm was sliced open, and Beast Boy screamed in pain.

"BEAST BOY!!" screamed Raven. Raven began to lose control of her anger.

"Is the birdie angry?" taunted Dregos.

"AZARATH METRION ZINTHOS!!!" chanted Raven. Dregos was surrounded by a black aura, whichled him underground, and out of the battle. Raven quickly went to Beast Boy, and began to heal his wound.

"You could have done that earlier.." complained Beast Boy.

"Are you complaining?" asked Raven with a slight amount of annoyance in her voice.

"No, just wondering" replied a very afraid Beast Boy.

"So, lets go find Rob and Star" said Cyborg.

Starfire began to hurl a flurry of starbolts at Glare with her left arm. Glare easily blocked and reflected all of them back at Starfire. Starfire barely avoided the first few, but was hit by two in her right arm. Her arm was now bleeding badly. Glare was confidant victory was in hand, but was surprised when Starfire began to laugh.

"What's so funny?" asked Glare. He then felt a chill run up his spine as Starfire grinned menacingly.

"Are you ready to lose?" she asked.

Robin was till looking for a way around Slade's barrier. He finally saw a flash on the wall, and threw a batarang at it. There was an explosion, and the barrier went down.

"I see you are just as skilled you were before. Unfortunately, you are not good enough" said Slade.

Robin charged at Slade, staff ready. Slade pulled out his staff, and prepared for Robin's attack. Robin tried every attack he knew, but Slade was too quick, and blocked each attack.

'This is pointless' thought Robin. 'Glare and Starfire are probably preparing to attack me from behind, and I can't hurt Slade at all.'

"Are you surrendering?" asked Slade.

"I will never surrender" replied Robin.

"Suit yourself. Now, it's my turn to attack." Said Slade. Slade charged at Robin, who could barely see Slade's movements. Slade hit Robin twice in the head with his staff, and once in the stomach, which sent Robin flying into a wall.

"When will you learn that you can never defeat me?" taunted Slade.

"I will defeat you and Starfire!" yelled Robin.

Starfire was injured and tiring quickly. 'I must help Robin at any cost.' She thought.

Starfire put her hands together and pointed them at Glare. Starfire ignored the pain in her arm and pulled all her energy into her hands.

"I can always evade" taunted Glare.

"I disagree." Said Starfire.

Glare looked down at his shoes. His eyes bulged in fear. They were melted to the ground!

"I can still block!" yelled a worried Glare.

"I understand that." Replied Starfire.

Starfire launched the energy she had built up at Glare. Glare's shield blocked the attack, until his mirrors shattered. Part of the blast was reflected. Starfire was too exhausted to try to dodge or even block. The room became filled with the blinding light of two green explosions where Glare and Starfire were. Screams could be heard, but they quickly faded away.

Cliffie!! I know this was a short chapter. I hope to make the next one longer. I also hope to get at least one review for this chapter. Please?

Since no one reviewed the last chapter. No preview!!
