A/N: WOW! I got more than 30 reviews for this fan fiction. I guess you guys like it so far. I left you at a huge cliffhanger, and I'm sorry for that. Keep it up with all those reviews. And another thing, the air globs that let them breath underwater was NOT my idea. It's really from a book called, Pendragon by D.J. Mac Hale, I think. So please don't think I made all this up. Please R&R. Thanks!

Chapter 8 Underground Trouble

Robin just floated there looking at the pin. Slade was behind this. He had used Mika for so long and Robin never saw it. It was by luck that he found this pin. It shined in the sun light coming from up above.

Suddenly the light went away and someone grabbed the back of Robin's shirt. It was strong and when Robin tried to get away he dropped the pin. It slowly floated to the bottom again and Robin went the opposite way.

He broke the surface and yanked the glob off his head. He looked up at all his friends that were looking down at him. The person who had grabbed him was Cyborg. He spotted Mika and he sharply threw the glob back to her.

Mika caught the glob and frowned at him. "What was that for?"

Robin was breathing hard as he got out of the pool. He looked Mika in the eye and said, "You were never on our team! Is this some mean joke that Slade put out, or is it for real?"

Mika played along in the game. "What are you taking about? And who...who is this Slade person. I have no idea who he is."

"I have proof that your part of his team," Robin said and the others gasped. There so called, "friend", could be part of Slade's team. This was not a funny matter.

"Alright," Mika said while putting her hands on her hips. "Show me your proof."

Robin remembered that he had dropped the pin in the water, so he gave Mika a nasty glare and then dove into the water. He searched for a few seconds and then found it. He came back up and got out, but when he looked at Mika she was smiling.

Robin turned around and saw his friends tied up to each other. He turned some more and saw Slade with about 20 other followers around his friends. Slade came up to Robin and picked the pin out of Robin's stunned hand and said, "I know you could have done better, Robin."

"How come you set us up?" Robin asked and got ready for a fight.

"I needed to get rid of the Titans. I found this young girl here and trained her. I finally got over to Felix to show us how to use the Divide. I found the sickness and gave it to your friend Raven and knew it would spread. I don't know how Cyborg never got it. Some people get it, some don't. Well, it ends up that I get the same sickness. I use Mika to show me the way. You understand now?"

"You mean Felix was in this too?" Robin asked and glanced at Felix. Felix did not was to there at that second.

"Oh, believe me, Robin," Slade said. "He did not want to show us. But he knew Mika from way back and she finally wore him down."

With the anger growing inside of him Robin lashed out with a roundhouse kick, but Slade easily caught his foot and flipped him over his head. Robin hit the wet rock with a bone breaking smash. Before he could get up, his hands were tied together in front of him and was jerked up to his feet.

Slade came up to Robin's face and said calmly, "Now I need the map. You find out the place and I might let you live."

Robin struggled in the binding and said, "It's in my pocket."

Slade reached inside Robin's pocket and Robin elbowed Slade on the back of his neck. Slade grabbed Robin's arm and held it in a tight hold that made Robin wince.

"Do that again and I don't think any of you will be living," Slade whispered in his ear. Robin struggled to get out of the grip, but Slade squeezed tighter and said louder, "Got that?" Robin shook his head yes and Slade nodded and let him go. Robin rubbed his arm and let Slade take the map out of his pocket.

Slade looked at the map and read the passage. "You got through most of it, but that was the easy part. While you were down there for forever what did you see?"

"A gate," Robin said knowing that if he screwed up one more time there was no chance he or any of his friends would live. "Through the tunnel there was a gate and behind it was some stairs. Happy now?"

"Not really," Slade said while grabbing Robin's shoulder and walking him to his followers. He shoved Robin in their arms and said, "We are all going to under. They might be some of a help. Robin and Raven at least will be. Leave the others here and seven of you guard. The rest come with me. Let's find this gate."

"How do we open this gate?" Robin asked as he swam up to the iron gate underwater and in the tunnel. 13 of Slade's robots were there and Mika, Slade, and Raven were right behind him. Robin shook the gate to see if it was loose. It was stuck there. Nothing was going to break it down.

Robin looked through his glob around his head and saw some stairs behind the gate. They really needed to get past it. Robin swam little away from the gate to let Slade past.

Slade shook it a little and turned around to Mika. "Can you use your powers to get past this?"

Mika smiled and said, "Back off everyone. Let the master of nature help. One whirlpool coming right up!"

Robin and Raven's eyes went wide and they looked at each other with panic in their eyes. She could drown everyone in the tunnel!

Mika stuck out her palms to the gate and started to make her arms go into circles. Soon the water around her started to swirl and go into two mini whirlpools. "Hang onto her water globs, people. This could get whirly!"

Everyone did what she told them and backed away from the gate. She pushed her whirlpools to the gate with great force and the whole room seemed that it was spinning, but it was really them. Finally the spinning died down and they looked over at the gate, but it was still there!

Mika's face seemed really mad from under the clear water glob around her head. "How could this happen?! I was hoping for some damage on that gate. Those whirlpools took a lot of power."

Slade shook the gate again and grunted. This was not going right. Suddenly, he had an idea. He turned around and spotted Raven next to Robin. Maybe she still had some power left in her.

He swam up to them and said, "We need to get through this. Use the rest of your powers, Raven to open the gate."

"I can't even fly," Raven said with no emotion at all. "I'm so weak that I'm using my powers to stay alive. If I let any of my powers or emotion out or I might die. I'm not opening that gate."

"You're dead both ways," Slade said. "You might get the gate open and might save us all, but if you don't we all die."

"Better than keeping you alive," Raven said with her emotionless voice again. Robin was listening to everything and agreed with her all the way.

Slade thought for two seconds then grabbed Robin's arm and grabbed a laser gun out of one of the robot's hand. He pointed it to Robin and said, "Laser's work underwater. I can pull the trigger any time. Use your powers and he lives."

Raven tried hard not to loss it. Robin did not look really scared. He knew that Slade needed him. Why should he worry? Robin looked sort of bored in a way. Raven knew she was going to have to use her powers any way, so she swam up to the gate.

Raven closed her eyes and black fire seemed to come out of her hands. Then the gate went from a gray color to total blackness with a white outline. Raven opened her eyes and they changed from her violet to black. She said her words that no one quite understood and the gate slowly began to move.

Robin watched her closely. She was having trouble with moving the gate. Slade let go of him and Robin slowly swam up to Raven to support her.

"Keep going, Raven," Robin said as she had to stop for a few seconds. She quickly picked up her pace when he said this and finally the gate was moved. Mika looked mad that she did not move it and Robin was smiling. He helped Raven to the steps.

They quickly came to the surface and they looked around. They pulled off their globs and set them on the steps. The steps continued on up a ways then there was a wooden door. They went through the door and came to a huge room.

The ceiling was way up and was supported by large wooden beams. The walls and floor were rocks. There were wooden chairs set up in rows that were facing a stain-glass window. This must have been the main place the monks went.

The 17 people went in and looked around the huge place. On the right side of the room was a huge door. Mika looked through it and came back in. The whole place was dusty and there was a level of grim on everything. Cobwebs were in every place there.

"The door leads to a huge thing of stairs," Mika said to Slade. "There are more doors up a ways. There maybe the cure in one of them."

"The passage says to climb the steps to the star," Robin thought out loud. "Maybe a door has a star on it. That could be it."

"Look for a door with a star on it," Slade told the robots around him. He made two stay with him to keep an eye on Raven and Robin.

Raven looked at the stain-glass. It was huge with a half a moon and a huge star next to it. It was so beautiful and with so many colors. It would be even more pretty if they had a light behind it, and if the cobwebs were dusted off.

"Jak of Half Moon," Robin said as he looked up at the stain-glass. "We know where half moon came from now," he said and pointed to the half moon on the glass. "I wonder why they lived underground though. If they kind of worshiped the half moon then how come they stayed down here?"

Suddenly, the door opened and the robots came back in. "We found no door," one said.

Slade frowned and glared over at Robin. Robin just shrugged. So he had been wrong, at least it was not his loss.

Slade thought about it for a second then said, "We are staying here for the night."
