Chapter IV: Disasters and Memories
Dark was enjoying himself underwater for a couple hours. Until Raven, Beast Boy, Robin, and Starfire found him 50 feet down.
Just wait until we get our hands on you, Raven thought. She was allowing communication between everybody.
Yes. Mother or not, you are in trouble, Starfire thought.
Hey, at least you're together now, Dark tried to defend himself to no avail. The four Titans jumped in after him. They swam down to Dark's depth. But Dark had the advantage here. Being stronger than any of the Titans, he could swim faster and hold his breath longer. Dark darted down even deeper, to 100 feet.
Well, the guilty never did accept punishment unless caught. Catch me if you can! Dark thought, and began speeding farther away. Starfire and Raven flew after him. Robin used motors in his boots. Beast Boy became a swordfish and swam after him. They caught up to him. Dark swam even deeper down. He was now at 200 feet. Robin couldn't any farther down, and was told to go to shore. Raven created a psychic barrier with air, Beast Boy was a fish, and Starfire was stronger than Humans ten times over. They swam down after him. Dark hid among the coral. The three spread out to look for him. As Starfire approached his hiding spot, Dark jumped out and scared her. She opened her mouth, lost air, and was forced to join Robin on the surface.
Dark hid back in his hiding place. A small cave about fifty cubed feet of air was above it. Dark swam up for a breath, then climbed in and kept his head out to preserve air. Beast Boy and Raven were still searching. Dark pulled out a small dart. It was stupid, but it might work. He threw it at Raven's barrier. The barrier popped, and Raven also went above. Only Beast Boy was left. Dark thought for a while. Then he pulled the tofu out of his pocket. It was still together. Dark swam out. He saw a shark. Carefully, he stabbed the tofu with the shark's tail, who didn't really mind. Dark swam back to his hiding place. Beast Boy would remember that Dark had taken the tofu, and try to track him that way. It worked. Beast Boy followed the scent of the tofu, saw a shark, and swam up to the surface. Dark had won.
Slowly, the four went inside to dry off. After about ten minutes, Dark also swam up and went inside. Raven, Beast Boy, Starfire, and Robin yelled at him and scolded him, but no punishment.
That night, as Starfire and Robin cuddled on the couch, and Raven put her head on Beast Boy's lap, the six of them watched TV. Dark was very interested that if you turn your head, the image doesn't turn with you. Cyborg was still very amused that a twelve-year old with amnesia managed to outsmart all of the Teen Titans for two hours straight. And while the other four never admitted it, they were thankful, although they didn't like stuck in the same room.
One day with Dark had changed the Titans' lives and his. Starfire showed Dark to the guest room. After being told not to jump on the bed, Dark lay down and was about to go to sleep. Then he heard a scream from Starfire in her room.
Instantly, Dark jumped up and ran over. Starfire was in the air while robots were coming in through a broken down door. Dark slashed at one. It turned and picked him up, then slammed him into the ground. The other Titans came and began helping destroy the robots. The hallway was shot, and hundreds more came. The Titans had their hands full. Dark stood up and found the robot that had slammed him. Dark threw himself at the robot, tackling it and breaking it. One of the robots shot Dark with a laser cannon. Dark slammed hard into the wall. The robots fired strange lasers at the Titans and trapped them in force fields. The robots picked them up and carried them away.
"Dark!" Robin yelled, "Run! Go!" Then they were gone. Dark sat down on the ruined floor of an empty, ruined tower. The Titans were gone. Is it my fault? Dark wondered, or are they the bad people Starfire spoke about? Yes, them. I should help them, they helped me. Slowly, Dark got up and followed the giant footprints. They led to a field, where the robots stood in line, with Slade at the front and the Titans in the force fields. Snow covered the ground.
"So, you are the boy I ran into earlier today?" Slade asked.
"Let them go," Dark said.
"Patience, child, I will, When they work for me or are dead."
Starfire shouted, "Dark! Get away from here!" Slade turned around and hit her through the force field.
Angry, Dark ran at Slade. He slashed at him. Slade caught his hand and threw him back. As Dark got up, Slade ran forward and punched, kicked, and slammed Dark into ground. Slade stepped back to the robots.
Dark was losing consciousness. He was upset at himself for losing. At he began to black out, he heard the Titans talking.
"This is not a fairytale," Starfire said to herself, holding back tears.
"Starfire, don't cry," Robin begged.
"Yeah, these things are demons!" Cyborg shouted to the robots.
"No amount of magic or psychic could have fixed this, what's done is done," Raven mumbled.
Fairy. Demon. Magic. Psychic. These words shot around Dark's mind. Why? Why are these words familiar? Think, think, think! Then it came to him. "I...remember," Dark whispered to himself.
He stopped blacking out and stood up, surprising the Titans. He shouted, "I remember! I am Fayrii Lijaro, the Half-faerie!"
