A/N: I got tons of reviews! I'm so happy! One person said that they had
read the book. I only read it once, so don't kill me if I do something
wrong. Well, I have too many characters right now, so I'm not going to
carry on with some of them. Hope you like this chapter. Please R&R. Thanks!
Chapter 7 Big Discovery
Robin swiped the water out of his face and stopped climbing for a second to catch his breath. He was around 100 feet above a swirling pool of water. The Titans, Felix, and Mika had made their ways through the jungle that was on the map that Robin had looked at and now they were making their ways up the huge waterfalls.
"You okay down there?" Felix asked from his place a few feet above Robin. "Don't faint again," Felix added with a little chuckle.
Robin sighed then started to climb again. Climbing a waterfall was not so easy for the seven. Raven and Starfire could easily fly, but the sickness had taken away almost all their powers, so they were normal teens till they got the cure.
Robin's head was starting to spin again. That meant he was close to fainting. He and Beast Boy were going through the fainting spells like what Raven had. Raven was just going out of it, so she only fainted once that day. Starfire had that REALLY bad case of the hiccups.
Robin grabbed another smooth stone and tried to fight the dizziness around him. He pulled himself up, but the stone was too smooth and it was slippery. His hands and feet quickly fell out of their places in the rocks and gravity took over Robin.
"Look out!" Robin yelled as he fell. Cyborg caught Robin's arm and they dangled for a few seconds.
"That was a close one," Cyborg breathed and the two looked WAY down to the pool under them.
"Thanks," Robin said as he caught hold of another rock and hoisted himself above Cyborg once more.
"Robin...HICKUP!" the two heard Starfire call from where she was above them. "Are...HICKUP...you...HICKUP...okay?"
"I'm fine!" Robin yelled back up and picked up his pace to be in between Felix and Cyborg. They climbed for hours till they were finally at the pool of the second waterfall.
"Take a rest," Robin said as the others floated in the cool water. Raven came up to Robin as he took out the map. He read the passage and nodded.
"What do we need to do next?" Raven asked as she looked over the map.
"I think we need to take a look in this pool, because it says to dive in depths of its pool to find your way to the stone. I guess we start to dive to find a stone that is special in some way."
"But from there it does not make any sense," Raven said as he put the map away. "It says something about steps and a star."
"I have no idea what it means," Robin said while taking off his shoes. With his metal bottom shoes they would make him sink if he kept them on. "You stay here with Starfire, Cyborg, and Felix. I'm taking Mika and Beast Boy down under to look for this stone."
Before Robin dived into the water Raven grabbed him shoulder and said, "Be careful."
Robin smiled down at her and said, "I'm always careful." He then yelled over at Mika and Beast Boy, "You two are going to dive down and look for a stone that might be a little different!" Beast Boy nodded and turned into a fish with huge eyes and dove in.
"Robin!" Mika yelled and ran up to him. She quickly took off her backpack and pulled out a plastic ball with a harmonica looking thingy stuck to it. She shoved it into his hands and said, "Put it over your head and it will let you see, hear, and breathe under the water. Give it a try." She then took another one out and pulled it over her head and it changed into the shape of her head. She waved and then dove into the water.
Robin eyed the object in his hand then pulled it over his head and dove into the water. The water was cold, but refreshing. The ball over Robin's head worked like a charm. He could hear Mika talk through hers and he learned that he could talk to her just the same.
"Where did you get these?" he asked as they picked up stones off the bottom of the pool.
"Someone sort of gave them to me," Mika said while looking over a stone. She frowned and chucked it over her shoulder. "He said that they worked by making the water into air through that metal thing on the back. Don't you just love them?"
"Yeah," Robin said and looked up to see Beast Boy swimming his heart out towards the two. Panic was in his eyes and on his face. "What the heck is Beast Boy swimming away from?"
"Look!" Mika said and Robin saw around five alligator looking things just with longer legs and tons more teeth come swimming out of a hole that Beast Boy mush have gone into. The hole was on the far side of the pool. Robin frowned and swam to it while Mika and Beast Boy started to fight off the alligator things.
"What are you doing?" Mika yelled over at Robin.
"I'm taking a look in this hole," Robin answered.
"Are you CRAZY?" Mika yelled, but it did not stop Robin from going in. It was dark in the hole and it soon became a tunnel. It twisted and turned and Robin went a long ways till two glowing yellow eyes popped up in front of him suddenly.
Robin gulped and pulled out a mini flashlight from his belt. He turned it on and came face to face with the same kind of alligator thing from outside the tunnel. He only got two seconds to look at what was behind the alligator. It was wall with an iron gate that led to some kind of stairs.
Robin went into action mode. He swam to the right and took out his birdarang. He could hear the snap of the jaws of the alligator. Robin threw the weapon and he could faintly see the color of red in the black waters he was in.
Robin dove down and picked up a heavy rock. The alligator came after him. Robin was hit with a huge tail and he lost his light. He swore under his breath took his rock up and as the alligator came up he shoved the rock down on the creature. He heard a grunt then saw some movement under him.
Robin pulled out one of his ice discuss and quickly took aim in the black water and threw it down. He covered his eyes, as there was a big explosion. He could see a big block of ice with the alligator in it. He smiled and swam out of the tunnel. As he did so another alligator came up and spotted him. Robin had no more weapons, but his pole, but what good would that do him?
Robin swam out of the tunnel and saw Mika's backpack sitting on the bottom of the pool. The alligators were all gone, but the one chasing Robin. Robin swam for his life to the backpack and quickly opened it to see if there was a weapon.
He found a knife and took it and skillfully threw it at the alligator. It hit it square in the chest. The alligator withered down to the bottom of the pool to never bug anyone again. Robin was about to close the backpack and swim to the top, but something stopped him dead in his tracks.
Something had fallen out of Mika's backpack. It was a metal pin looking thing, but Robin knew what it was. It was shaped into a S. And that only meant Slade. Mika was working for Slade!
A/N: Cliffhanger ending, I know. Hope you liked it. Please give a review! Thanks!
