Slade and Robin both charged at each other! Robin jumped in the air with a
forward flip heel-kick, but Slade blocked easily and countered with a left
hook. Robin saw it and avoided it by getting behind Slade, then he gave him
a stiff sidekick to his back send Slade rolling to the ground.
Robin walked towards Slade and motion to him to bring it. Slade got up, popped his neck and charged right back at him. Slade tried a jab-fake with his left arm then a straight punch with his right arm. Robin ducked them both and tried an uppercut but Slade dodged it and countered with a spinning crescent kick which hit Robin right in the face sending him spinning.
Now Slade was the one walking over to Robin telling him to bring it.
Robin growled at Slade for mocking him. He lunged forward and nailed Slade in the face with a right elbow making Slade stagger back. Robin tried a left knee which Slade blocked, but Robin turned it into a front kick hitting him in the gut. Slade retaliated with a standing roundhouse, but Robin ducked it with a left legged spinning sweep then kicked Slade in the head with his right leg as Slade fell cracking his mask.
Beast Boy and Starfire just got to the top of the roof and saw Robin walking over to Slade.
"Now, let's see who you are." Robin said pulling off his mask.
It was another one of his look-alike's with a sceen on it. It came on and the real Slade appeared before him.
"Good Robin, you've gotten a lot better since the last time we faced. Maybe next time you'll actually be a challenge."
"Why don't you stop hiding and face me once and for all Slade?"
"All in due time Robin, but shouldn't you be worried about your friend Cyborg." Slade said as a 5 second counter appeared on the screen.
"Cyborg! Titans, GO!" Robin yelled as he dropped the robot.
The all had to jump off the roof , Robin using one of his grappling hooks, BB transforming into a hawk, and Starfire flying as the robot exploded.
"Titans, we've got to get to Cyborg." (I know I forgot to say how they got there. They took the T-Car.)
They all got in and headed to where Cyborg is.
::At Cyborg's location::
Slade sent his minions in to attack 1st wanting to wear him down. One of his minions attacked with a right punch, but Cy ducked and knocked it's head off! He grabbed the body and hit the head so hard he looked like a robotic Barry Bonds hitting a home run that sent the head flying right through 3 of Slade's other minions.
He tossed the headless body at the other 3 remaining ones running towards him and blasted it with his sonic cannon which made all of them explode. Not impressed Slade sent Overload and Cinderblock after him.
Cy's left arm twitched, he looked at it and remembered the doc's words telling him not to do anything stressful for a while. He looked up and saw Cinderblock charge and nail him a massive shoulder that sent him flying in the air and denting his chest armor. Overlload grabbed him while he was in mid-air shocking him making Cyborg cry out in pain.
His vision blurry, he looked up hoping to catch his breath while Overload held him but he saw Cinderblock in the air coming down and hit him with a double-fisted smash right on his robotic side making his left eye shatter. He fell to the ground hard. Getting up slowly refusing to stay down. Cinderblock ran towards him hitting him with a HARD gut shot that made the air escape from him along with some blood.
Thinking to himself. ::Cy's mind:: "If I go down I'm taking one of them with me."
He had no time to make a stand when Cinderblock grabbed him by the throat squeezing it tightly. Blood coming down his mouth he knew it was the end. Cinderblock pulled his riht arm back while Overload charged his fist so his head would explode on impact. With an evil smile Cinderblock lunged forward with his punch.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!" Raven yelled as she flew in.
Filled with rage and anger, her whole body and eyes glowing black she used her powers to surround Cinderblock and send him flying making him release the grip on Cyborg.
For the first time in her life, she was able to let go of her emotions and control her powers.
"None of you will escape!" Raven said angrily as Overload shot several electrical blasts at Raven but to no avail.
She looked at Overload who had a look of fear on his face. He tried to run, but she grabbed him and threw him in the air where he had no place to land but in the lake outside of the hospital. Surrounded by water, he shorted out as his microchip sank to the bottom.
Cinderblock charged and punched her, but it had no affect. She raised her left arm and sent her aura around his head sucking all the air from him making him pass out. The Slade look-alike tried to run, but she caught it sending it into the air and made it explode sending pieces everywhere.
Tired from the battle, her aura left her. She looked over to Cyborg who was battered badly. She walked over to him with fire in her eyes but watered holding her tears back. Half of her was glad that he was alive, but the other half angry that he didn't tell them and more importantly her.
"Thanks Rae. How did you find me?" Cyborg asked weakly getting up to one knee and breathing deep for air.
Standing over him, not answering his question. She raised her left hand and slapped his human side hard leaving a red mark.
"OW! What was that for?!"
Tears running down her face, she leaned in placing both hands on his face and kissed him.
"What was that for?" Cyborg asked after she broke the kiss.
"Don't ever—do that—to me—again." She said standing back up.
He looked up at her, smiled and said "I promise I won't."
"If you do, I'm not coming to get you." She said in her normal cold way.
"Fair enough"
About an hour later, the other Titans arrived in the T-Car.
"Cyborg!" Robin yelled as he ran to his friend helping up.
"Dude, I've seen junkyards in better condition than you." Beast Boy said with a smile.
"We are sorry for not being here at a sooner time Cyborg, please forgive us." Starfire said with tears in her eyes looking at her battered friend.
"It's ok Star, I should apologize for not telling you guys what was wrong with me."
"C'mon, lets get you back to the Tower and repair you. Beast Boy, open the door." Robin said putting Cy's right arm over his should while Raven got his left.
The got him in the car and headed back to the Tower, Raven stayed next to him the whole time holding his hand.
End of Chapter 7. Whew! Cyborg got his ass kicked, but at least he's still alive. The Titans foiled Slade's plan and now have to reapair Cyborg. All is well, except that Cyborg hasn't told Raven how he feels about her. She may know, but she wants to hear him say it. See how everything turns out in the finale of Short Circuit!
