Chapter 3: Out of the Ashes

Beast Boy arose from his mark on the dam floor. His green face was now soaked with blood. He looked at his hands. His gray gloves were now a blackish red. God he was bleeding everywhere. How hard did I hit the ground? He thought. He looked up. The catwalk had to have been at least three stories up. It's a miracle he had survived especially if he landed on his head. He turned to his right to see Raven out cold on the floor. He limped over to her. "Rae..........Rae." he shook her. She wouldn't wake up. He looked down her leg. Her white complexion was reduced to a dark red. He rolled her over on her back. "C'mon c'mon...........Damnit!" he gave up on her and walked towards Cyborg who was in pieces, literally. His left arm was bent in an angle he couldn't even measure, and his right was missing. "Cyborg." He said to his robotic friend. There was no answer. He turned to see Starfire who had bruises, and gashes all over her body. She looked the worst out of all of them. She was taken down the hardest. He listened for a heartbeat. He heard one, but it was very faint.

Beast Boy looked at the destruction they had caused during the battle. The roof had a number of holes in it that nobody could possibly fix. The wall was leaking water not much, but enough that the place would be flooded by the end of the day. "God am I the only one who isn't in a fucking coma!" he yelled. He heard a thud above him. "No." he looked up to see Robin. "Robin! Where the hell were you? We got our asses kicked down here and you weren't even here!" Beast Boy was mad. He was mad at Robin, he was mad at Terra, but mostly he was mad at himself. Robin jumped down. "I was ambushed. Terra betrayed us." He said simply. "Yeah no shit." Said Beast Boy. Robin walked over to him. "How are the others?" he asked. "Not good. Cyborgs out of commission, and Rae, and Starfire are in critical condition." Robin walked over to Starfire. "She might not make it." Robin stared at her face. It was pale, blood was all over it. "So what are we going to do?" asked Beast Boy. "They have us by the balls now." Robin thought for a moment. He walked over to Raven. She had a deep gash in her leg. He felt her pulse. "Looks like they got a pressure point. Damnit. She could be out for hours. We could have at least tried her healing powers on us." Robin looked over at the leaking wall. "Beast Boy, we only have a matter of hours before this dam bursts. Lets at least do what we came here to do." "How are we gonna plug it?" "I could seal it." Said a voice behind them. Cyborg was standing behind them holding his arm. "You up to it?" asked Robin. Cyborg got out his welding torch and went towards the crack. "We need to get them back to the tower." Said Robin looking at the girls.

"Excellent Terra. The plan was a complete success." Said Slade. "Your on your way to becoming the perfect apprentice." "What do you mean 'on my way'?" she said back. "You could've done better back there. Robin had you for a little while. It would be best if you practice your hand to hand, and your powers in an equal balance. You never know when you might need both." Terra grunted at him. Thank god I got out of there I couldn't stand living there. The only good part was the food. "Did you get what I asked?" Slade asked a group of commandoes as they walked in. They handed him a filled container. "Excellent." Slade said. "What the hell's in there anyway?" asked Terra. "This, my young apprentice is a container holding each of the Titans blood. If I can multiply the blood cells, and some of the bone tissue I can create clones of them. They will think like them, talk, act, sound, even eat like them. With these clones, we will rule this city, maybe even expand throughout the world. Terra, with these DNA samples, we can create an army of Teen Titans." "Ok, how long will it take to create this 'clone army'?" she asked. "That will depend on how my research has developed. It may take a few hours, it may take a few months. But either way it will get done. While I'm doing this Terra I need you to do something for me."

The T Car sped through the dark city. Weaving in and out of traffic, Cyborg knew he only had a short amount of time before he lost Starfire. Though he wasn't sure about Raven. She had been passed out for a few hours, he didn't know if she would come out of it soon enough. Robin stayed close behind him on the R Cycle. They had secured the dam and sent out a distress call. Police forces would now be arriving at the dam as they rode home. He would clear things up with the police later. Right now his main focus was to get the girls back to reality. They arrived at the Tower about a half hour later. Robin carried Starfire, while Cyborg had Raven slung on his back. Robin walked into the common room and put Starfire on the couch. Cyborg put Raven on the other side of the couch. Robin glanced out the window. The city was an amazing sight at night. The lights glistening on the calm ocean water. "Robin! Snap out of it!" said Beast Boy. Robin shook his head and turned to his teammates. "How are we gonna bring Raven out of this?" Robin had no idea. "I'll go check the infirmary." He said. He walked out of the room.

Robin walked down the dark hallway towards the elevator. The infirmary was on the 10th floor. One floor above them. He walked in and pushed the button to go up. When he arrived at the 10th floor he walked out into the dark hallway. Something wasn't right. The hallway lights had an automatic turn on if nobody was there. If someone was there, they would have to turn it on themselves. Just then an explosion ravaged throughout the 10th floor shaking the entire tower. Robin saw the entire hallway cave into a spiral of fire. He dove out of the way of the elevator as it crashed down towards the bottom floor ending in an explosion sending the elevator doors Flying in random directions. Robin got up and saw a silhouette in the fire heading towards the roof. Robin followed it up to the roof. The figure was running towards the edge. Robin threw a batarang towards its legs. It hit causing the figure to fall to the ground. Robin knew who it was before he even got over there. "You got a lot of balls showing your face here Terra." He said. Terra got up and turned to him. "Well looks like you survived your little experience with mother earth." She said. "But you won't survive this one." She hurled a boulder at Robin. He easily dodged it. He pulled out his staff and got into position. She threw rock after rock at him. He either jumped out of the way, or smacked it with his staff. He jumped in the air towards her. He came down smacking her on the forehead with the staff. She flew backwards skidding across the ground. She got up and flung a boulder at Robin who wasn't quick enough to get out of the way. Robin was knocked over the side of the tower. He was now hanging on for life. "Well well looks like the tables have turned." She said. Robin looked down. He could see the bottom floor and the top floor on fire. "Eventually this whole place will collapse on itself and with you goody goodies in it!" Robin flipped back over the side and behind Terra. He kicked her in the back causing her to fall over the edge. He ran over to the edge and looked down. She was gone.

Robin rushed down the stairs to the common room. The others weren't there. They either got out or.......engulfed by the explosion. Robin ran towards his storage area. He grabbed supplies and ran out. Terra had placed explosives along the hallway. Robin quickly ran past them before they exploded. When he reached the common room, all the exits were blocked. There was no way out. He felt the rumbling of explosions behind him. The doors behind him blasted out almost hitting him. Robin only had one chance. He ran, and dove out the window as a trail of fire followed behind him. He expected the impact of the ground, but it never came. He felt someone catch him. He looked up to see Starfire carrying him down to the ground. "Star! What happened!" asked Robin. "The explosion scared the shit outta Raven making her wake up." Said Beast Boy behind him. "Shut up." Said Raven nudging him. Robin turned to see the Tower in flames. "There goes our home." He said. "Don't worry Robin. We will overcome this horrible tragedy that has befallen us." Said Starfire putting her hand on his shoulder. Robin stared at the tower as it started to collapse on itself. It was an amazing, and depressing sight at the same time. The remains of the Tower disappeared under the ground of which it stood upon.
