(Note: Don't be fooled by the title. They don't actually start fighting
until toward the end; just to let you know. Other than that, here's the
chapter you've all been waiting for!)
Chapter 4: Go Time In the early hours of the next morning before the sun rose, as the last stars were fading into the sky, the Titans stood on the roof of their house together, the air thick with the tension of the oncoming invader. "Expect him at sunrise". That's what Sun water had told them the previous evening. Now they all stood, awaiting the arrival of her brother. Sunny was more worried than anyone else; after all, this was her twin brother causing so much trouble. She knew only one of them was going to win, and though she knew it had to be Robin for the greater good, she wasn't planning on flying home with a dead body. Sensing her best friend's fear, Star took Sun's hand to stop it from trembling so badly. Star whispered to Robin, "Robin, for Sun water's sake, you will not kill her twin?" Robin looked at Star, then Sun water, her eyes shaking. "I can't promise you anything" he told Sunny, "We can only see how it turns out". Sun water bowed her head solemnly. Robin turned his attention to Cyborg. "Any movement, Cy?" he asked him. Cyborg checked his sensors. "Not yet" he said, "but it should be any minute now". "Keep on it" said Robin. He then took Star's hand and squeezed it. He whispered to her, "No one's going to take you away, Star...I promise". (Allusion to the Sisters episode!) Smiling at him, Star answered him, "You have said it; I believe it". He smiled back at her. Just then, the sun started to rise, followed by Cyborg's sensors beeping. "Hate to break up the love fest, Robin" he said, "but the party pooper has entered the atmosphere". Skye water flew down, Robin told everyone, "Remember, no one is to interfere. Cy, Raven, no one gets past you—including you. Star?" She looked at him and he said, "Don't forget what I said." Star swallowed and nodded as he touched her face as he had last night. "I'll be all right" he assured her. She nodded again, the lump in her throat having rendered her incapable of speech. Robin gave her one last hug, Star clutching onto him, and vice versa. They finally let go; this time, Star was the one trembling. Cyborg gently touched her shoulder as if to say "Be strong for him". Beast Boy turned into the kitten he does "The Face" with and jumped on her shoulder. Raven, standing on Star's right, drew near and held her hand in sisterhood. Beast Boy got down, turned back to normal, and stood with Cyborg, who got out of the way to let Sun water take Star's left hand in mutual strength. The three girls looked like a regular sorority. But enough with the mush! Let's get to where Skye gets here! Robin walked to one side of the middle of the roof. The others were way off to the side. As the sun continued to slowly rise, a bright light just like Sun water fell from the sky, nearly landing headfirst on the roof, but then it looped up, and Robin saw, floating in mid-air, a boy their age with short blonde hair, blue eyes (He looks like his twin, Sun! Duh! Except his hair is short. Double duh. :p) and an aura of a bad attitude. He wore wrist-length versions of the glove things Star and Sun wear, soft light blue (like Sun water) pants with knee-length black boots, the neck-and-chest-thing (like Star's) and a T- shirt the same shade of blue as Sun water wore. Here was Skye water. He slowly descended, arrogantly eying everyone, particularly Star fire; she only looked at him in fear. Then he saw his sister, and glared at her. He landed in front of Robin, and they both stared each other down. The sun was now fully risen, and the wind began to blow. "I suppose you know why I'm here, judging by my sister's presence" said Skye, maliciously eying his twin, who refused to meet his gaze. Robin blocked his view and said to him, "You're here to fight ME, Skye water. You're not to hurt anyone else, and no one else is to be involved". "Oh" Skye said, "I suppose you're the one I am to annihilate in order to obtain my bride?" "No!" Robin shouted in a ticked off voice, "First of all, you're not taking ANYONE away!" He readied his Bow Staff and said, "Second of all, I'm the one who's going to teach you what happens when you mess with one of MY friends!" It was at this point that Skye water officially acknowledged Robin as a threat. "Really?" he asked as he fired a light blue star bolt onto the roof for diversion. It didn't work, though. Robin was able to take a swing at him with his staff, having it promptly blocked by Skye water's forearm, who said as they struggled, "Enlighten me". "Lesson one", Robin said, really ticked off now, "Star fire's mine". Don't worry, everyone! Chapter 5 will be coming REAL soon, I promise!
