Ending of the Storm
Robin gained full momentum in a matter of steps. Robin called forth, sending a cry out toward Dark that made him take a defensive step back and prepare for the oncoming inevitable hit. With a full running swing, Robin laid his staff to the defense of Dark, who seemed to have trouble handling Robin's blow. Dark released his hold of the staff with one hand, but held it with the other. With his free hand Dark landed a small punch to Robin's vulnerable belly.
The force of the blow, was small, but made Robin take a few steps back in recoil. Dark saw his chance, and closed the gap between them. He swung vertically with his right hand and horizontal with his left. It was impossible to block both of the attacks and was slammed hard in the cheek by Dark's horizontal swing. He then flew back hitting the ground with his back. Dark charged forward again. With his opponent down, there would be another phase to his soon to be victory.
Dark made a small jump and landed on Robin's chest. With a burst of wind from Robin's mouth, it expelled much of the air in his lungs. Dark immediately hammered his fists into Robin's face, one after another. After some time of getting pummeled down, Robin quickly reached into his utility belt and grasped a 'rang. Robin hurled it at Dark.
In an instant Dark attempted to dodge the 'rang. Like Dark's double attack, this would be impossible to dodge. The 'rang cut into Dark's chest, and exploded.
Dark was sent into the air from the blast. Blood was sent to various places, as Robin began to stand.
He hit the ground with a deep Thud, and then quickly stood as though nothing had happened. Upon seeing the wound, Robin nearly closed his eyes. The wound looked deep, and had shards of the 'rang in places sticking from his chest. Dark looked at the wound, raised a hand and sprayed energy through the wound. As painful as it was, Dark made no sound. It sizzled the air as skin molded to itself once again. The shards were taken out quickly, the energy acted as a broom to them, along with the burning flesh.
Dark smirked at Robin, a sort of sadistic pleasure that told their enemy that they felt no pain. Robin felt that within him, he knew that just with the cleansing of that particular wound, he was seemingly invulnerable.
"Scared Robin?" Dark asked, the voice sounding eerily familiar.
"Never." Robin said, cooly, hiding the slight fear.
Dark smirked again, then charged. Robin held his defense. Dark slammed hard the energized swords in his hands. It crashed into the metal, and had both of them holding one another off.
Robin using his wit was beginning to have Dark's blades slip from the staff. Little by little Robin would soon have the upper hand. The energy Dark was pouring into crushing Robin was slipping down by every second. At last the two blades fell and Robin twirled the staff and landed a hard hit to Dark's chin, making him stand upright.
Dark now completely defenseless stood upright and straight. It was the opportune moment for Robin to strike hard and weaken his enemy greatly. With stunning speed he slammed and hammered away at Dark's body. Every second that passed two hits were made into Dark's undefended body.
It seemed as though hours had passed, and Starfire remained watching the two still fighting over her. She had to sit down and almost cower at what she had done. She couldn't stop either one; she wasn't strong enough to settle this at the moment.
Dark finally had enough of this beating, and took hold of the staff. With a mighty push he empowered the staff with energy that shot through Robin like a bolt of electricity. Robin fell back, having many burns on him and his clothing. With Robin's staff in possession Dark threw it into the sea beside the island.
Robin stood, struggling with enough effort; he stood tall before Dark. They both store into one another eyes peering into one another's souls to find some sort of weakness. Each found one, and laid a few punches on the other. Robin took hold of Dark's arm as he dodged a punch and lifted himself up for a jump kick. Dark took a step back, blocked Robin's next attack and nailed Robin's stomach hard. Continued attacks a variation like this continued, up until Robin had a combo of six attacks and then threw Dark to the side. In an instant Robin unhooked many a 'rang and threw them at the fallen Dark. Each sliced through Dark, making a few deep cut and other wounds.
Dark stood and clenched both fists, placed them at a foot length from his hips and powered himself up. A wave of energy shot outward and rapidly toward Robin. The power would easily incinerate Robin and Dark would claim his right at Starfire's side.
Robin took a few steps back, holding a hand out forwards to test his own range. A fearful look of despair reached Robin's expression. Starfire saw this, and narrowed her eyes. She lifted herself from her position and shot forth her energy, outside of her. A blinding light shot forth when both energy's collided. Robin covered his eyes with a gloved hand. The majesty of the light that Dark and Starfire made was incomprehensible. Only to the greatest of art could it be comprehended.
"You shall not harm him, Han!" Starfire called Dark's attention shot toward her. Without any hesitation, Dark replied, "I am no longer your protector, Starfire, you have attacked you guard! I shall win you; I will be at your side! Release your power and let me return to my honored standing as your guard!"
"No! I love Robin, he is bound to me, and I to him!" Starfire knew in her heart that it was a small lie, she loved Robin, but knew that Han had something special as well.
"So be it, Starfire." With overwhelming power Dark coursed his energy into Starfire's. Robin stood, bewildered by their conversation, and soon took many more steps back for safety. He could not act like this, a cowardly bird, he had to act. Without his staff, and his array of 'rang at his disposal, he was nothing more that a trained hand-to-hand warrior. In this battle, it would mean nothing.
Robin searched around, and with the most amazing luck, the staff shot out of the sea and landed before Robin. In confusion and thankful luck, Robin looked to the sea, seeing Aqualad giving a salute to Robin until going back into the depths.
Robin nodded, and grasped the staff. The energy was nearly consuming Starfire, and soon she would be destroyed, as Dark would have Robin. Flipping the staff around and now holding it as a javelin, he threw it toward Dark. The energy closed around it, but with Robin's throw it traveled through the barrier of energy and toward Dark. It struck him in the face, and knocked him down, bringing the energy barrier along with it. Dark hit the ground hard. Robin sprinted toward his landing site. Starfire lowered her energy field and flew toward Dark holding in her hands her own green energy.
With a short pull upwards Robin had the staff in his possession again, and in a moment had the spear head out at Dark's neck, prepared to end his life at any given moment.
Breathing hard, all three of them stared at one another. "You wish to end me now Robin?" Dark asked, his charm remained the same.
"Starfire?" Robin asked.
"No. We shall not kill him," Starfire turned her attention to Dark, "Han, I thank you for your protection, but I cast you back to Tamaran where you will rebuild our beloved planet until further notice by anyone else. Never return to this Earth, you are banished, Han." Starfire spoke.
Robin released the head of the spear and released Dark of his near death experience. Dark stood, shook himself off, and nodded. Without a moment to lose, Dark hurled himself into space. Into the deepest darkest reaches of space he traveled. He never reached Tamaran. His only remains on Earth were a communicator, left inside before Raven's door. His whereabouts are unknown, and was rumored he is still searching the universe, for a new Star. And for another fire.
