Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans

Okay, I lied. This is not the end. Lol, I gave ya'll false hope, and I'm sorry. But this explains some about Apollo, the psycho bastard. I might have created him, but I need to throw him in a loony bin and fast. He's a real nutcase. Maybe the Happy Hotel will take him away. While ya'll read, I'm calling the men in white to take poor Apollo away. Shh, don't tell him. (Creeps to the phone and calls the funny farm)

The next chapter will end the war, and you will see if Apollo dies, or kills Starfire and Raven, who is already on the brink of death. Enjoy! (This is not a drill! Next Chapter is the last! Well, about the fight.)

Raven closed her eyes and whispered, "I wish I were in front of Starfire." She hoped that it worked, or else Starfire would be dead. She felt the tingle and grinned. When she opened her eyes, she was in front of Starfire, ready to block the swing of his sword.

But she had arrived to late. The blow hit Raven full on, instead of Starfire, and actually knocked her backwards, and she landed hard on her back. The sword had hit her chest, right below her neck, but even with the armor, the cut was long and deep, and bleeding profusely. She barley heard the screams of her friends, the dizziness taking over. I can't believe this is how I'm going to die.

She watched Beast Boy, who was almost to the point of tears, and whispered, "I love you, Beast Boy," before darkness took her.

Beast Boy screamed, "No," then bowed his head in sorrow, hoping to hide the tears. I...I heard her saying she loved me. Since he was half...well, any animal, he could here things that most humans could not, like heartbeats...and he heard Raven, though it was barley beating. His head snapped up fast, and made Robin jump, who was watching Beast Boy with a sympathetic gaze. "Her...her hearts beating, but it's faint." Beast Boy whispered, to himself mostly.

"Starfire! Hurry and defeat Apollo! Raven's alive, but barley. Please hurry, for Raven's sake." Starfire glared at Apollo, who was still standing over her. He had a look of accomplishment, and was staring at Raven. Since he was so close, Starfire drew an arrow and launched it so fast that Apollo never saw it coming.

It hit his shoulder and he screamed, but pulled it out as if it was a pesky thorn. He reached for Star, but she kicked his stomach, making him stumble back. She scrambled up, but Apollo grabbed her ankle. Without thinking, she used her other foot and kicked the side of his face hard; he was bound to lose a couple of teeth, she thought with a smile.

She managed to get up and ready another arrow, but Apollo was some how faster. He tackled her, knocking the bow and arrow out of her hands. She hit the ground hard, but she was more worried about Apollo, who was straddling her hips to keep her down.

He grabbed her wrists and slammed them above her head. Her shoulder, which had not bothered her until now, started to throb in major pain. She had to hold back a scream. The armor was not working, as it should.

"Awh, that hurt, didn't it?" She glared, but it was weak.

"Your eyes betray you, Starfire. Just like Starlight. But that's fine with me. It just gives me more reason to inflict more pain than you can imagine. I'll have you begging for mercy in no time." He grinned. "What should I do? Hmm...lets see...there's always beating you with a whip...yes, that sound's nice...but, then again, you'll probably pass out with only 3 whips. Still, it's worth a try."

But he froze, his eyes gleaming. "And after that, I know exactly what I will do that should leave you scarred until I am ready to kill you. And by scarred, I don't mean physically." She narrowed her eyes. She had no idea what he meant, but it couldn't be good.

He picked her up by the collar of her armor, and twisted her arm behind her back, her bad shoulder screaming in protest. He took her to the middle of the room, where two chains, that were attached form the ceiling, where hanging.

It took awhile to get her tied up, considering she fought tooth and nail against him, but he finally managed. When the two chains held both of her wrists, he grinned and slid the helmet off her head, her braided hair tumbling down her back. She took the chance and kicked him between the legs hard. He grunted, hitting his knees in agony. Starfire smiled in victory, at least until he got up and hit her across the mouth, splitting it more than it already was. It had still not fully healed after the wreck and thanks to Apollo, it probably never would. She spit out the blood that filled her mouth onto Apollo's shoes, and he groaned. "I just got these polished."

He glanced over her shoulder and grinned at the two boys. He had made sure she was chained so Robin, her lover, could see exactly what he was doing. Apollo walked to the far wall, where many weapons were held, and grabbed the longest whip he could find. He had bought it during the Reconstruction Era, when everything was cheaper than usual, and it was meant for horses, but he found it worked better on human flesh than horseflesh. The horses didn't scream like the humans did.

He snapped the whip at his side, and Starfire couldn't hold back a flinch. She knew Apollo was behind her, and braced herself for the pain she knew was coming.

She growled when Apollo ripped the back of her armor, leaving her back bare from the small of her back to her neck. He pushed the shoulder of the armor down so her shoulders were bare also. He traced the exit wound from the sword he had shoved through her and Starfire had to hold back the bile that rose in her throat.

"Ouch. That looks like it hurts."

"Damn it, Apollo! Leave her alone!" Apollo turned to see Robin fighting against his chains, his face alive with fury and, his favorite emotion, terror. So, the little man is petrified. It just gives me more reason to beat her. Apollo gave one last look at Starfire flawless skin and sighed, then cracked the whip over her bare back as hard as he could.

Starfire gasped at the pain. It was so intense; her legs would have given out under her if she had not been chained up. She had to bit her lip to keep from screaming.

Apollo grinned, enjoying himself immensely. He watched the blood drip down, and he couldn't help a giddy laugh. He felt like he was 14 again, and the excitement he felt when he disemboweled his loves cat, who always called him a freak, and put it on her bed. Then, of course, she had been the next victim, after he had raped her. He could still remember her face. Bright green eyes, red hair...she was almost similar to Starlight and Starfire, except that she had been weak and had screamed bloody murder when he raped her and cut her to pieces, still alive of course. He had actually gotten tired of her screams and was more than willing to kill her fast. He usually liked to take his time, but she had been his first human to kill, so he didn't have the patience he did now.

He had always had a thing for Starlight, but she had married that stupid Rogan and had a baby when she was 15. But he got what he wanted in the end, well, almost everything. He got the chance to watch her bleed to death, watch the pain on Rogan's face as he buried her, to hear the screams of her rotten toddler. He wanted to rip the lungs out of the kid's chest, but since he was at a funeral, he never got the chance, since people, who were mourning the loss of both princesses, surrounded the kid. Until she was 17, did her get a chance, that is. But she just had to have a kid at 15 and so on. It was like they were programmed to have kids at 15. But, Starfire and Raven were past the age most of the women had their kids, so when he killed Starfire, since Raven was practically dead anyways, he would never have to worry about the bloodline and the women again. Most of the women had kids at 15, but for some strange and unknown reason, Starfire and Raven had maintained their innocence, staying virgins' way past the age of 15. They were now 17 and as innocent as ever. Maybe it was because they had never been told that Apollo always killed the women at 17 and that they needed to have kids to keep the blood line going, but, then again, it was the fathers who had paid him to take the girls powers away. Ironic, that the fathers wanted the girl defenseless. Most fathers want to have grandchildren, but the girls' fathers' were different. They even sent their kids to a total different planet just to get rid of them. They swore that with the girls out of the way, they could finish the war without the girls stopping it. Apollo could care less, especially since he was now residing on earth and had no need to throw himself into the war, as he did before. At first, he had thought that he was killing regular old girls, but when Chaos had filled the tower with cameras, he had the shock of his life. He had never expected the girls to be the ones who were direct ancestors of Starlight and Rhea.

After he cracked the whip against Starfire torn and bloodied skin for the 16th time, most of the whip's marks overlapping one another, and she was still conscious and not screaming or even whimpering, he growled. He studied her back with satisfaction, and smirked. He had not hit her bad shoulder yet. That should do the trick.

Starfire was trying her best to keep from passing out. Her body was numb from the pain, but her back, oh God, her back hurt so much, that she couldn't help the tears that fell down her cheeks. The only thing keeping her from swimming in darkness was Robin, who was screaming out her name. All she had to do was pay attention to his voice and everything would be okay. But, when Apollo whipped her torn shoulder, harder then he ever had hit her, she let out a blood-curdling scream at the pain that made Robin cry out her name and thankfully let the darkness consume her.

"Starfire!"

All I have to say is...ouch. That had to hurt. Told you Apollo was a psychotic bastard. :)
