Chapter four: No turning back now
(Robin's P.O.V.) The energy wave slammed into Vampyre, and knocked the rest of us back. It literally split Vampyre in two, but, being a vampire, it did little but make him madder. His sides reconnected, and he charged at The Reaver, Hellscythe raised. I jumped in after him, throwing a lightning disc at him. The Reaver obviously found Vampyre more threatening, as he parried Vampyre's blow, and let the disc hit him.
I leapt in the fray, pulling out my Bo Stick, and raining a hail of blows at The Reaver. He blocked all of the blows easily, but with Beast Boy charging in as a Rhino, he was forced to abandon his attack. Cyborg constantly tried to beam him with his Sonic Cannon, Starfire was throwing Starbolts at him, and Raven was using her powers to throw in-animate objects at him. Then it got worse, as his two companions showed up. One of them had a Colossus Crossbow, and called himself The Rift. The other had a Colossus Scythe, and called himself The Reaper. We were in for a serious fight.
I quickly gave orders. "Vampyre! Raven! You two take The Reaper! Beast Boy! Cyborg! You two take The Rift! Starfire! We'll take The Reaver!" We rushed at The Reaver, hoping to force him to attack early. He waited until the last minute, then jumped aside as Starfire's Starbolts slammed into where he had been. I was busy throwing Bat-a-rangs and lightning discs at him. We were working in tandem to keep him off balance. But he predicted our moves, and began to deflect Starbolts at me. At first they were easy to dodge, but he began to make it harder to deflect.
Then one finally nailed me, and I was sent spiraling backwards. After that, I was in so much pain, and so dizzy, I couldn't get back up. I watched, a knot in my stomach, as The Reaver absorbed Starfire's Starbolts, and shot them back at her as a beam. She landed next to me. I watched hopelessly as the others slowly lost their battles. Cyborg and Beast Boy were trying their hardest to stop the bolt-slinging nightmare, Rift, but they were losing horribly. He was powering his bolts up, and they were interrupting BB and Cy's strategy. They met the same fate as us.
We all watched, as Raven and Vampyre still fought on. Raven was doing her best to avoid the energy shockwaves, charged bolts, and dimension distortions. They realized long ago, that such attacks did no good, and had since resorted to melee combat. In-between using his powers, and swinging Hellscythe with expert skill, he had to also try to keep Raven fighting. Then, they all fired at Raven, and hit her, sending her down to where we all were. I looked at her.
"We're doomed. Not even he can overcome such odds against even them."
"Yes, he can. Long, drawn-out battles are good for him."
"Why? He has stamina just like the rest of us, and it should be wearing thin right about now."
"No, it isn't. He's half-demon, half-vampire, so he has more stamina than all three combined, but he is only one person."
"I still don't see how we're going to win."
"You see how his eyes are glowing, more than usual? That means he has bloodlust. The longer he fights, the more bloodlust begins to show. He becomes faster, stronger, and he thinks faster. The longer they fight him, the worse their odds are." I nodded my head in understanding. It made sense, since he was half-vampire.
We turned back to the fight, to find Vampyre swinging Hellscythe in more complex patterns that had the Three sweating. Finally, The Reaver decided to end it. He yelled,
"Enough! Let us get what we came for!" With that, the Three swarmed to where we were. We couldn't move, so we were helpless, and Vampyre was too far away to help. We all looked at them defiantly, hoping to buy Vampyre enough time to arrive, but it was to no avail, as they grabbed Cyborg, and disappeared through a dimension distortion, that The Reaper created. Vampyre got there just after that, his scythe slicing through thin air.
"Damnit!" he cursed. He let his body fall to the ground. He absent-mindedly began to draw patterns in the mud with the sharp-end of Hellscythe. He snapped out of his trance, and realized what he had done. "Damnit again!"
"What?" I asked, not aware of him even realizing he had done something.
"These patterns. They are a prophecy I have tried to forget. It says I will be the deciding factor in the Final Battle. I hate prophecies, because I don't believe in fate."
"What does that have to do with this?" Raven asked, in her icy monotone.
"I have absolutely no idea."
"Then why tell us about it?" She asked again
"Because Robin asked why I cursed. Now he knows." Vampyre replied, irritated. He slammed the ground with his fist. "Damn them! Damn them all!"
"Please, friend Vampyre, do not use such words." Starfire started. He slowly turned to look at her, his burning eyes wide, as if in disbelief.
"I will use whatever damn words I want."
"Please, do not-"
"Must I repeat myself?" He asked, his voice low, and dangerous
"THIS ISN'T HELPING!" Raven yelled. All of us turned to look at her. "Cyborg was kidnapped, and us yelling at each other is not going to bring him back."
"Too true too true." Vampyre agreed.
"I think we need to go back to the Tower and get some rest." Beast Boy said, waking up. (A/n: BB had been KO'd) With all of agreeing, Vampyre gave us each energy to get back, and more.

Breakfast was eaten in silence. None wanted to even talk about what had happened. After they had eaten breakfast, they went to their rooms. After they had rested, they would agree on a plan
