Robin was led up the stone steps to the castle entrance. The entire
castle was simply enormous, easily twice or three times the size Titan
Tower. It made Robin wonder, if this was the outside, what kind of stuff
would be inside it. There were guards everywhere. Some were dressed in the
same armor that the ones leading Robin were wearing. Others on the towers
wore crimson leather armor, and they had extremely large bow and arrows.
"Better not try to escape," he thought to himself, "those guys might be
able to pick me off from a good distance." As the castle gates opened,
Robin was awestruck at the interior of the place. A gold and red carpet
covered the floor. Portraits of knights and weapons were littering the
wall. Statues of famous knights and wizards were everywhere. The guards
then led Robin to a chamber where more guards were. "Um, where are you guys
taking me?" he asked. "To the captain of the Imperial Guard, he will decide
your fate." one of the guards said in a mean voice. Soon they came to a
large wooden door. The guard knocked and a small slit in the door opened.
"What is it?" a voice said from behind the door. "We have a troublemaker
from the tavern, we're bringing him to the Captain." The door opened.
Inside were guards dressed in different armors. They wore aqua blue armor,
and strapped to their backs were zwiehanders, giant swords with simply a
handle and blade (similar to Siegfried's sword from the Soul Edge video
game or Sanosuke's Zanza from Rurouni Kenshin). Their faces were covered
with a cloth from their mouth down. White tattoo art were printed over
their eyes. That's when Robin saw the Imperial Guard Captain who had his
back turned, looking out a window. He was easily 6'1, he wore the same blue
armor as the others but with gold highlights here and there. Strapped to
his hip was a fairly large scimitar (the sword Aladdin used in the movie
Aladdin) with a crystal clear blade. The captain was bald, and had tan
skin. One hand of his was in a chrome arm and hand gauntlet that reflected
the sunlight. "So, you enter our city, during a time of pax and cause
trouble at the local tavern. Why do you do this?" The captain turned around
and his face nearly gave Robin a heart attack. It was Cyborg.
"ANSWER THE CAPT. HALLEN!" one guard yelled. "What the hell is Cyborg doing," Robin asked himself, "And where are his robotic components, he's...he's fully human." Cyborg, or rather Capt. Hallen came towards Robin and stared him dead in the eye. "Why don't you answer?" "Cyborg, it's me, don't you recognize me?" Before Robin could think, Cyborg's gauntlet hand came across the side of Robin's face, sending him crashing to the ground. "Do not call me by any name other then Capt. Hallen." Robin rose to his feet, his face pounding of pain. "What the hell is wrong with him?! Is it amnesia, just like Terra?" he thought. "Cyborg, why did you hit me, it's your best friend man." SMACK! Robin fell again. This time blood began to trickle from Robin's mouth. The gauntlet arm had left 3 small cuts in Robin's cheek that began to trickle a bit of blood. "Cyborg, stop man, it's me." Robin said, with small tears beginning to run down his cheek. "I don't want to hurt you man." Robin said. "Is that a threat to the Captain?!" one guard said as he rushed Robin from behind with his spear drawn. Despite Robin's pain, he drew his sword with lightning speed and in one slash, the guard fell before anyone could wonder what happened. Drawing his scimitar, Cyborg spoke. "So you gamble your life like this by striking down one of my guards. You die now."
Cyborg came at Robin with such blistering speed, Robin barely had enough time to bring up his sword to block. But he did. "Cyborg, I won't hit you..." "FOR THE LAST DAMN TIME YOU INSOULENT PIG, MY NAME IS NOT CYBORG!" Cyborg then brought his scimitar back around for another strike. This time Robin, still in pain from Cyborg's beating, couldn't bring his sword up in time to block. A deep cut appeared in Robin arm. Robin fell to his knees, yelling in agonizing pain as blood began to run from his wound. Cyborg brought his weapon to Robin's neck and prepared to deliver the final blow. But before he did, he used the blade to pull Robin's jewel from under his shirt. Soon Cyborg began to get scared. "Me Captain is everything all right?" one guard said. "I'll kill him me self if you need me to Captain." another said. Cyborg glanced over at him and said, "Are you the one that brought him here?" "Yes Captain." Cyborg walked to him and in one swift cut, he felled the guard. "YOU IDIOTS!" Cyborg bellowed. "YOU TOLD ME HE WAS A TROUBLE STARTER, THIS IS THE ONE LORD ALHRIK HAS BEEN EXPECTING! HE IS THE PRINCE THAT HAS COME TO ASK THE PRINCESS' HAND IN MARRIAGE!" Robin looked up, and began to ponder what Cyborg meant. Cyborg turned back to Robin and helped him to his feet. "My apologies prince-er-um, what was your name again?" "Robin." he said as blood still trickled from his mouth. "Damnit. You two," Cyborg ordered, "take Prince Robin to the Medicine Chambers, he needs these wounds healed. But once again, I am sorry Prince Robin, if I had seen the Jewel of your people that you wore around your neck, this fight wouldn't have happened." The guards then came to take Robin to get patched up.
As Robin walked around the medicine chamber, he wondered, "Why in the world do Cyborg and Terra have amnesia and I don't. I mean it's like they actually believe that they are who they say they are." His arm was still sore from the cut but other then that the cuts on his cheek had already clotted and his mouth was fine. Two guards stood at the chamber's entrance. "Well there's no chance of getting out now," Robin thought, "My arm still hurts and I don't think I can wield my sword well for at least another day." That's when Robin began to wonder, how in the world he could have wielded a sword so well with such speed and power. Sure he had trained in how to wield his staff so well, but he had never trained with swords. Then another set of guards appeared at the door. From the opening came a voice. "My dear boy, you'll have to pardon the Captain for wounding you, you must understand it was in the best interest to keep the pax." That voice wouldn't fool Robin any day. It was Slade's voice. But the man that came through the door wasn't Slade. Instead it was a 5'11 man with a strong body. "I am King Alhrik." Robin couldn't believe it. "Allow me to introduce my two most trusted people in this city. My vizer/mage, Barlan." What Robin saw shocked him. "At your service, my liege." It was Beast Boy dressed in wizard's robes and carrying a staff. "And my beautiful daughter, Tamarina." Robin nearly died when he saw her. It was Starfire. "Yes father?" "I'd like you to meet the prin-OH MY GOODNESS GET THE DOCTOR IN HERE!" Robin had passed out and lied on the floor out-cold.
