Chapter
Four: Captured
"Come On, Shadow!" Robin
yelled at me, as I shot a kick at his head, only for him to move it out of the
way quickly.
"I can't take it anymore, Robin! You move out of all of my shots!" He
just grinned, completely unharmed in any way. No sweat even dripped off his
face. We had been working harder lately, as I finally got so frustrated I shot
unmerciful shots in unlimited amounts. What caught him off guard was me
suddenly dropped and kicking him from under his feet - laying a kick to his
face. His eyes rolled back, but with my help he stood back up.
"Good Job, Shadow." He congradulated me, offering a knowing smile.
"Coach would be proud." I had told him various things about Coach,
like his trainings - and his personality..
Remembering that made me realize I haven't called him yet, as I ran towards
where the next attack would be- Where Terra would be.. I wanted to beat
her so bad. To the ground, dead. I looked at Beast Boy, who ran a few beside me
- I ran in his direction so I could be by his side. Without saying anything, I
took his hand. BB looked up at me with a confused face, but I turned towards
him - giving him a smile. "Beast Boy-" He nodded, knowing - I didn't
need to say anything more. I continued to hold that hand while we ran, before
seeing the blond haired girl in the sky on a ground 'platform'. I released
Beast Boy's hand, looking up at it before pulling put a grappling hook. I shot
it at the top of the platform, and grabbing Beast Boy. Robin shot his own,
while Raven and Starfire took each of Cyborg's arms and flew with him upwards..
When we had made it to the top, I let go of him. On the top was Terra - alone.
"I want to fight the one who took my place."
The rest of that is hazy to me, I remember fighting - and Beast Boy yelling
my name. The world going black, and by then - the world was still black as I
tried to open my eyes over and over...
Her voice, her voice haunted my mind over and over.
"You stole my Beast Boy."
"You stole my Beast Boy."
"You stole my Beast Boy."
I screamed out, trying to get out - trying to get out of wherever I was. Away
from her, away from this. I felt a hand, cover my eyes. Jinx giggling in her
childlike manner, as my eyes finally seemed to let me see..They're faces,
blurred..as I realized the whole area around my eyes was puffy. "What did
you do to me!?" I shrieked. My finger tips rubbed the sensitive skin, but
if I pushed too hard I would yelp out. When a sudden unremarkable pain shot
through it, my eyes watering as I tried multiple times to open my eyes to vision.
I longed to see the faces, the faces I would make PAY for this pain..In a few
moments my eyes opened, looking at the pink haired girl who's grin seemed to
engulf me in it's torturous humor.
"Where's Beast Boy?" I whispered, trying to remember the memories.. I
remember Beast Boy-- He called out my name..Only to be pushed away by Mammoth. Beast
Boy..No he had already suffered enough with Terra! I wouldn't let him suffer
because of me. I stood up, feeling my eyes burn again.. No, they would not turn
me into anouther mindless villian! I stood on the ledge, looking eye in eye
with Jinx who seemed amused... Pulling my glasses from my belt, I scanned her. I
would want to take pleasure in watching her life points die down. "Are you
ready?" I said, but before I let her answer I sent my hand to her cheek. The
slap was sickening, it echoed in my mind. Slap..Slap..Slap..Slap. She
cried out, rubbing her cheek.
"You'll pay for that!" She yelled, her hand lighting up to send a
spell my way. I flipped behind her, crashing my boot into her back - which
pushed her to the floor they laid me on. "Just make me!" 82- I
smashed my boot into the side of her head, before flipping so that my hands let
me balance myself on her head, and I changed positions so that my foot was the
balancing point before jumping on her skull... 62- She yelped out, finally
sending a zap of electricity through my body as Gizmo smashed through the door.
"Jinx?" He called out, seeing the girl who held her head painfully - just
in time for me to send a punch in her gut that made her keel over. He charged
at me, but I jumped on one of the spider legs and kicked his head which proved
to be extremely painful for such a small boy.
"Nope, I'm Shadow Fox. Get the name right, atleast." I hissed, before
shooting some cord around them tightly so that they couldn't excape. I saulted.
"I'll see, you all later. Ta Ta." With that I disappeared down the
hallway to find Terra - to find Terra and make her pay. Make her pay for ever
thinking they could put that crap in my eye and turn me into a clone. Then My
eyes stung again, as my fingers opened my eye to find the yellow contact...The
yellow contact that would send beams right into my brain to control it.. "Arrg..Get
OUT." I was finally thankful that I had learned how to take them out
during Halloween- When I went as a fox [typical]. I threw them on the ground,
stomping on them.
"Ha! Finally!" I grinned, mimcing Cyborg's famous "victory dance"
shouting a "Booyah!" Of my own only to gain the attention of someone
down the corridor.. "Come, join us won't you?" Blond hair disappeared
in a dark doorway and I wasn't sure if It was a trap or not. I didn't care at
this point, kicking down the door with my boot. I ran in, to find Mammoth
talking cheerfully with Terra who turned and smiled at me. It was such an empty
smile it made me shiver. I stood, making my pose.
"Let's finish this, now Terra!" She stood, smiling. I closed my eyes,
removing my glasses and replacing it with a red bandana. It's purpose? Robin
had taught me this....It gave me a sort of strength. I ran towards where I
heard her, using her shoulders to flip behind her - charging a kick in her back.
"Were not alike at all, Terra..I fight for Beast Boy, not betray him."
I took a punch at her face, but she grabbed my arm - taking off my bandana and
throwing it down.
"You will never say things like that to me!" She said, trying to
throw my away but I flipped instead of crashing and charged in her direction - and
acting like I was going to punch her I ducked her blow and pushed her feet from
under her.
"Beast Boy never belonged to you. I love Beast Boy. You are just a crum in
his memory. A scar against his skin." I kicked her face, only for my leg
to be caught and me thrown over into the wall. I stood up quickly, holding in a
moan of pain and resisting rubbing my nose..I stood up again, by this point
hollering. "IF YOU LOVE BEAST BOY, WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL THE TITANS?
HIS FRIENDS?" Terra's eyes shot open at the realization, Mammoth blocking
her.
"Stop listening to the lies! Your teaching them a-" I saw him behind
overthrown by rocks and bolders...
I walked over to her, ripping the contacts from her eyes - and throwing them in
the dirt. "Welcome Back, Terra.."
