The titans met up with each other.

"Dude! I was so scared!" Beastboy exclaimed.

"Man Star, you look bad. What happened?" Cyborg asked.

"Well...a lot." Robin answered.

"Many things. There may be too much to explain now. Let us return home and Robin and I will recite our journey." Starfire smiled.

"Yes. Let's go. Do you guys really think it's safe to be lurking around in Slade's lair?" Raven said coldly.

"Yeah, let's go." Beastboy agreed. The titans turned around and started their weary travel home.

"What was that?!" Beastboy yelped.

"Huh? What was what?" Cyborg asked confused.

Footsteps.

"That? Geesh Beastboy. You are afraid of footsteps?" Cyborg scoffed.

"Dude! Those are NOT ours!" Beastboy exclaimed. The titans looked at each others' feet. Not one moved, but the footsteps remained.

"Let's go." Raven said.

"Not so fast..."

"R-Robin? Who was that?" Starfire asked as she tugged at Robin's cape.

"It sounded like..." Robin began. Slade appeared. "Slade," All the voices exclaimed at once.

"I thought we took care of you," Robin snarled.

"Guess what, dear Robin: YOU GUESSED WRONG!" Slade screamed.

"Robin!" Starfire cried.

"It's o.k. Star." Robin tried to comfort her.

"NO IT'S NOT! YOU WILL SUFFER NOW!" Slade screamed as he drew ever closer.

"Stay away from her!" Beastboy screamed as he turned into a growling wolverine.

"Oh, you want to play games, do you?!" Slade got battle-ready.

"Dude, it's you against all of us do you-"Cyborg began.

"I've beat you all at once before and I can do it again!!" Slade screamed. Cyborg's sonic cannon appeared.

"Bring it on." Cyborg hissed. Cyborg blasted Slade but he quickly dodged any type of harm. Beastboy turned into a grizzly bear and gave Slade bone- crushing "bear hug." Slade threw a net around Beastboy and it tightened around his arms. Slade released a pouch of mechanical bugs that ran to Cyborg, gnawing at his metal parts.

"Two down, three to go," Slade murmured under his breath. Raven lifted an immense boulder with her telekinetic powers. She froze it in mid-air for a split second, then it dropped on top of Slade.

"Nice work Raven!" Robin congratulated as he and Raven ran to help the other titans. Starfire stood behind. Why were the boulders still moving? Ah! Why is there a hand creeping out?, she thought. Then it hit her! "Robin!!" Starfire cried as Slade crept out. Robin and Raven ran to Starfire, leaving the other titans still in their helpless state. Raven lifted another boulder but Slade quickly beat her by throwing a tight, thick band over her wrists. Robin ran to Starfire and quickly stood in front of her to protection her. Robin threw some blade like boomerang things that flew towards Slade. He dodged all but one. That one hit him in the shoulder and tore his shirt. Blood oozed out.

"Nice shot Robin. Not good enough!" Slade screamed as he rammed into Robin. Robin fell to the floor. Slade threw the same kind of bands that he threw at Raven except he bound both his hands and feet. Starfire stood there trembling.

Slade approached her, "Hello Starfire. Are you ready?" Slade grabbed her shirt and held her up off the ground. His face was all but maybe an inch from hers. "I said, are you ready?!" Starfire looked scared for one moment, but she soon regained the bravery she once had.

"No I am not!!" She clenched her fists and her green starbolts appeared, "No I am not!" She repeated. She shot a barrage of starbolts at Slade. He flew back and hit his head on the rock wall. She stood in front of him and shot another barrage of starbolts at him. Slade clenched his shoulder as he stood.

"This battle may be lost, but the war is not over yet!" He threw a ball in the air and it exploded. Smoke arose everywhere. When it cleared, Slade was gone. Starfire ran to Robin's aid and managed to get off the bands. Her and Robin held each other for a moment and they finally noticed the other titans struggling in their restraints. Starfire and Robin stood up and walked over to Raven. They released her and walked to Beastboy. Robin and Raven were working on the restraints when they turned to notice the missing titan. Starfire stood there trembling she held a hand to her forehead. She sighed and fell to the floor. Robin picked her up. Raven put her fingers on her wrist.

"There's a definite pulse. She probably just passed out." Raven assured.

"Let's just get out of here." Robin said.
