For those of you who are getting sick of this story, don't worry there are only two chapters left (not counting this one). For those who like it, sorry but its gotta end somewhere. This is my first try at angst. I hope you like it. R&R please.

Response to Koriand'r Star: I have to congratulate you. You're the first to notice the similarity of my pen name to my character Lee. Japanese Samurai are one of my biggest interests, so I decided to incorporate one and the samurai code into my fics. Now correct me if this was a wrong thing to do. But it is just a coincidence that it turned out this way; I really don't base my character off of myself. My compliments again for being the first to pick up on that.


Ch.13

Raven, Beast Boy, Cyborg and Lee walked in a small pack along the tents and stopped outside Starfire's. Cyborg peered inside and saw that Starfire was sound asleep, sitting next to her bed was Robin. Cyborg looked back at Raven who nodded, Cyborg walked into the tent. He took a moment to observe how much Robin and Starfire enjoyed each other. Robin looked more than content and Star seemed to feel so safe. He tapped Robin on the shoulder, nothing. Cyborg walked around the chair and saw that Robin was also asleep. He shook him slightly and he woke with a start.

"Shhhhhhhhh, quiet man she's asleep", whispered Cyborg. Robin nodded and followed Cyborg outside with the rest of his friends.

"Whats up", he asked rubbing his eyes.

"Liman wants to see you", said Raven. Robin nodded and made his way to Liman's tent were he was also talking to Iris. He walked in and the two stopped talking. Iris sat down and folded his arms. Liman walked up to Robin and paused for a moment.

"Youuuuu summoned me", asked Robin wanting to know what was going on.

"I did because anyone here can plainly see that you are the closest to Starfire and therefore the right candidate for the job".

"What job"?

"To restore herself". Robin frowned somewhat, he had no clue what he was talking about. "She is indeed willing to fight to the death that much is there, however she lacks the confidence needed for her personal victories". Robin nodded as he understood perfectly. "If she doesn't believe that Orion cannot be defeated, then he will be unstoppable. Which is something we cannot allow; he's not aiming to conquer Earth, he's planning its annihilation".

"What do you want me to do", asked Robin. Iris got up and picked up a small box. He walked over to Robin and opened it in front of him.

"Giver 'er this", he said holding it out. Robin's eyes widened as he gazed at the boxes contents.


TERRA'S ROOM.......................

Terra stood in the middle of her room going through some exercises that she had learned while under Slade's boot. Though he only intended to manipulate her, eh had taught her a couple of uses ways to keep her powers under control. As she worked her mid raced over what was about to happen. Her new master, she, and over sixty thousand droid soldiers were about to totally wipe out the way of life of two planets. As much as she had come to hate Earth, she couldn't help but have a lingering second thought about leaving it a lifeless dust ball. Her mind then flashed to each of the Titans; Robin, Starfire, Cyborg, Raven, Lee, and BEAST BOY!

Her eyes snapped open and she gasped loudly. She couldn't believe that she was still unable to go a single day without thinking about him. She remembered her stone imprisonment and how it felt. She couldn't speak, she couldn't hear, she couldn't see, but she could think. All she could think about was revenge! But then that thought would be slowly wiped away whenever her short lived love entered her mind. She gripped her temple and growled slightly.

"GET OUT OF MY HEAD BEAST BOY"! She wanted to hate him, she wanted to hate them all. But, found she just couldn't, not after all that they had done for her even she spontaneously left after their first meeting. She just wanted to take Starfire up on her offer and go back with them, go back with Beast Boy. It was then that she was hit by the hard truth of present circumstances. She had been ordered by her master to assist him in the slaughter of all who opposed him. The Titans unfortunately fell under that category. Her thoughts then went to Raven. Even if Raven forgave her for trying to kill them one by one, she would still hate her for being near Beast Boy. She thought of the times before she betrayed them. Whenever she'd get close to Beast Boy Raven would always snap her book shut and leave the room. Before Terra figured that Raven simply disapproved of love, along with all other emotions. It's taken this long to realize that she had been Raven's competition. She began to hope, nay, she began to pray that the Orion's army is defeated and that if she is killed by anyone on that battle field let it be at Beast Boy's hand. Tears coming down her face she picked up a lamp and threw it across the room and it broke against the wall.

"DAMN YOU BEAST BOY, damn you", she sobbed. 'Why did you have to do this to us, do this to me. Now I must do what I would never want to do to you'.

Terra's head and heart began to hurt. She could only long for her lost love and brood over the terrible fight that was to come. 'What if they were all killed? What if Beast Boy falls'? She sank to the floor and put her hands to her face. She once again began to softly cry. She could not disobey her master, for a number of reasons. HE was exactly like Slade. Both saw the inevitable treachery in her and made sure that everything was under control. She could not return to the Titans, she would have to fight them. It all seemed like a hopeless never-ending struggle. If Orion prevailed then Beast Boy would be dead and gone forever. If Starfire and the Tamaranian knights prevailed, then she would be forever locked in a battle with Raven. Her whole world faded as she felt completely alone. She couldn't hear, she couldn't speak, she could hardly see, but she could think. A loud beeping sound suddenly snapped her out of her despair and she staggered forward to answer her wall comm..

"Get down her immediately", came Orion's voice. "I need to discuss something with you". Terra replied in the affirmative and sank down against the wall. It didn't matter who claimed victory; but once the dust clears, it would be the end for her.


Well that was my first try at angst. Tell me if I did anything wrong, it may not be my last. Well anyway the story's almost over and then we can all go home. Please tell me what you think, its just as much fun to get reviews as it is to write the fics. Next chapter is on its way.
