Ch.14

Terra walked into the thrown room and waited in front of the door. Orion motioned for her to come forward and she did. What was left of Orion's followers lined the aisle leading to the thrown. Terra walked past each one of them rather swiftly. She stopped before and bowed her head.

"You summoned me Master"?

"Very observant! Before I rid myself of that dim-witted princess and her human boy friend, there are two words I want you to consider; loyalty and allegiance". With her head still bowed Terra swallowed.

"Why do you ask"? Orion frowned and adjusted a device around his wrist. Terra sank to the floor screaming, pain as she had never felt before coursing through her. He let up on her and she remained on the floor wincing.

"When I say, you do. When I ask, you answer. When I play music, you dance. But you do not EVER, question me. Is that clear"? Now getting to her knees Terra quickly nodded. Orion got up and walked over to her. He bent down and lifted her up so that she was looking him in the eyes.

"Now listen, I don't care what you're past history is with them. One of two things will happen today; either I will make them see reason and they will surrender, or you will lead my army against them. And with them hopelessly outnumbered, you will crush them. Won't you"? Terra closed her eyes and softly mouthed;

"Yes, I will".

CATHING UP WITH STARFIRE..................

Starfire was currently in her tent getting ready. All last night she had dispersed dreams about this day. She would see visions of them victorious and then she would get glimpses of each of them falling to the ground severely injured. She had told Raven of these dreams and Raven said she had been having the same. Starfire was indeed afraid of impending doom, but so much as the possibility of losing her friends, or Robin. From the moment she had regained consciousness after landing on Earth Robin had been at her bedside. Though at the time he was slightly less open about his feelings. Cyborg, Raven, Beast Boy, and Lee were her family and friends. And Robin was her love. If this was to be their end, then she would end with them. Starfire took a deep breathe and walked outside.

"She embraced the sudden rays of sunlight and saw her friends waiting for her. Next to them stood Liman, Iris, and Aurora. Star glanced behind them to see not a small band of soldiers but a large mass of Tasmanian warriors. Her mouth dropped as she couldn't believe her eyes.

"They all gathered here during the night", said Liman walking up to her. "We also got a return signal this morning. The Centari are on their way". Starfire smiled and nodded. The Titans then approached her. She looked around at each of them and sighed.

"Thank you all for being here, but I am still not sure if I can do this". Robin smiled and took her shoulder.

"I can fix that", he pulled the small box out from behind his cape. "We know you missed your 'coronation', so here's a special one from all of us", he opened it. Starfire's eyes popped out as Robin now held out a shining crown. It came to a point which had a small green gem at the top. "They say it only fit those who are supposed to wear it. Guess Orion's head was just too big for it". He stepped forward and gently placed it on her head. In a wave like motion, all seven thousand Tamaranians suddenly got down on their knees. Followed by Liman, Iris, Aurora, and the Titans. Star looked around with nothing but her usual look of humility. She smiled sweetly and gestured for them all to get up. Once they did she gave a determined nod to Iris who flew up and waved his hand toward the enormous tower off in the distance.

"To the city! Move out! Move out"! The ones who couldn't fly (Robin, Cyborg, and Lee) were given speeders so as to keep up with the largest mass they had ever seen. As they made their way to the city Iris flew up next to Lee.

"You bet'er survive this Lee, because I want a rematch".

"We'll see", said Lee smiling.

Out side the city Orion had assembled the full force of his army and stationed himself towards the back with Terra. They watched as The Titans and the Tamaranians came over the rise and stood attention. Orion saw Starfire land in the front and then joined by her friends. He chuckled somewhat and pointed to her.

"Look, the little princess wants to play general. Fine we'll play along". He motioned for Terra to come with him. On the Titan's side there was some scattered muttering among the soldiers. Cyborg spotted Orion and Terra coming towards them, Terra was speeding along Orion on a large rock.

"Yo Rob check this out". He pointed the two out to the rest Titans.

"Guess he wants to make this as diplomatic as possible", said Raven.

"That or he's just trying to be an ass", replied Beast Boy.

"Lets go", said Starfire. The six of them made their way down the hill and over to the center between the two forces. They met each other and a rather long pause followed. Finally Orion spoke.

"Your highness", he mocked. "You have such a nice looking band of followers there. They would make a marvelous secret police, if you and your friends lay down your arms and surrender then you will not be harmed. Much".

"No soldier of Tamaran will ever bow down to you're evil", said Star with bright green eyes. Orion shook his head.

"Tsk, tsk, then I am sorry to tell you that every soldier of Tamaran shall die".

"Man, up yours", said Cyborg. Beast Boy glanced at Terra who had been looking at the ground the whole time.

"Hey, Terra", he said softly. Out of complete shame Terra sank her head even deeper. Raven could feel her jealous temper welling up again.

"So sorry, but she does not respond to her enemies", said Orion. "Do you", he added to Terra. She paused a moment then shortly nodded her head. Robin had enough of this he got off his speeder and approached Orion who stood his ground.

"Before this day is over, you will die at the hand of either Starfire or a human". He turned sharply, got back on his speeder and went back to their side with his friends. Orion cast a hateful glance at Robin then sped back to the city. Beast Boy went back to his normal form as Raven approached him.

"Beast Boy".

"Yeah Rae"? Raven bit her lip.

"I just wanted to tell you to-to be careful out there okay"? Beast Boy smiled and they embraced each other. The two then joined the others in a huddle. Starfire looked around at each of them.

"Well"? She looked at each of them. They all gave her ready looks except for Beast Boy who simply stared out at the seemingly endless carpet of droids.

"Dude, I've been waiting to do this since we got here".

"Booya", said Cyborg.

Orion and Terra got to their place behind the army and Orion punched a chunk out of the city wall.

"INSOLENT BASTARDS"! He glanced at Terra who seemed quite passive at the moment. "Do what ever it takes; I want their heads on my desk by sundown"! Terra then pointed to the Tamaranians and Orion saw they were forming ranks, they then began to let out loud shouts and cries. Utterly surprised by this Orion signaled for the first line of droids to ready themselves. On the other end of the field Robin extended his staff and said loudly;

"TITANS GO"! With their loudest shout yet the large mass of Tamaranians began charging straight at the enormous droid army. It was like a multi colored wave as each had charged up their fists and sped right at their enemy.

"FIRE"! Orion's voice rang out and the droids fired off a volley of laser fire. A few scattered Soldiers fell but the charge was not let up. While Orion put on a look of slight fear Terra allowed her mouth to curve into the smallest of smiles. As they got closer Starfire raised her hand as did all others. She, and every Tamaranian then let loose a rain cloud of starbolts. The first droid line was completely destroyed. Beast Boy went from a bird to a large elephant and gathered speed. The droids actually began to move back slightly as they finally collided.

It was utter chaos; laser fire, starbolts, and artillery were being fired in all directions. Beast Boy plowed through numerous droids and as he passed by Cyborg jumped up on top of him and fired his arm cannon down on the unsuspecting droids. Starfire darted around letting loose starbolt after starbolt each hitting its target dead on. She was then clipped in the shoulder. She winced, spun around and blew apart her attacker. Lee had leaped off of his speeder and slashed at every droid that came his way. He turned and saw one droid throw a sharp disk his direction. It twirled straight at him cutting the air itself. He rolled forward narrowly missing it and flung forward and swiped off the droid's head.

Raven flew past him concentrating on her own targets. "AZERATH METRION ZINTHOS"! She formed a ball around herself and then dispersed it in all directions, taking out all in a given radius. She chanted her words over and over again melting her enemies as she went. Robin was racking up a body count by the second. He twirled his staff all around him, smashing every droid in sight. He saw more coming his way and let loose a wave of exploding disks. He then threw a bird-a-rang behind and nailed a droid trying to sneak up on him. Iris and Liman had taken to the skies and began fighting back to back. Iris unleashed his eye beams making a long trail on the ground while Liman defended him. Starfire finished smashing two droids together when she saw another wave coming in. She signaled to a nearby group of soldiers and they flew up into the air. They then flew in a corkscrew motion and fired an endless barrage of starbolts like a gantline gun. Just as the group was shredded they found themselves being fired at by another group. Starfire and her soldiers dodged about though some were hit and fell to the ground.

Back on the ground Cyborg opened his chest and took out a medium sized ball. He threw at a clump of droids and they erupted in a ball of flame. He took a long sniff and smiled.

"Man I love the smell of napalm in the morning"! He went back to firing his gun. From a distance Terra was aiming a few good sized rocks at passing by Tamaranians. She then spotted Beast Boy who had been hit in the leg. He struggled to get up as his attacker pointed his gun at his head. Terra suddenly lifted a large bolder and blew the droids away. Beast Boy looked around in surprise and saw Terra smiling slightly. He gave her a short nod of thanks, which she didn't return. Disregarding it he morphed into a rhino and went back to demolishing everything.

Lee pulled his sword out of yet another fallen enemy. He looked up to see one of Orion's followers coming at him. He put his sword up and blocked his starbolt. He came to halt and smiled evilly.

"He'll reward me for getting rid of you"! He then began shooting off more starbolts at Lee who ducked slid forward and threw his sword like a spear. It landed the guy right in the chest. Mouth open he fell to the ground and went limp. Lee walked over and pulled out his sword.

"Never seen a dead man buy a drink". He then rejoined the ongoing battle.

Robin was currently darting forward when he looked up and saw Starfire flying above him. He gave her a hand signal and she flew down and picked him up. Once up in the air he threw down a dozen more disks before Star let him go. He landed on one droid while whipping his staff around at another. Starfire looked around and in the sky. The Centari had still not arrived. She gazed around at the absolute carnage. She could see what was left of their forces fighting with the utmost ferocity. She turned and saw Aurora, who had a cut across her face, punch through a droid and blast apart another. Not far from her a soldier of theirs fall forward after being shot through the chest. She then caught sight of Robin, Cyborg, Raven, Beast Boy, and Lee. All of them were beginning to tire. It was then that she noticed that Orion's army had begun to retreat back to the city.

"BOOYA! WE GOT EM' ON THE RUN", shouted Cyborg. Iris fired off a single starbolt and signaled their remaining troops for one last charge. The some two thousand surviving Tamaranians followed the Titans against Orion's retreating army. Orion's eyes were wide with panic. He franticly turned to Terra.

"DEPLOY THE DEFFENDERS"! Terra hesitated. The defenders were a new rapid fire weapon which tore apart anything in its path. Terra felt a starbolt fly past head, she looked over at Orion's smoking fist. "DELPOY THEM NOW OR DIE"! She went over to a small console and switched it on. Orion looked back at the oncoming charge. "HURRY"! They got closer and closer. "HURRY! FIRE"! Terra felt a tear roll down her face. She breathed out a silent "No" and touched the panel.

PLEASE FORGIVE ME! I didn't want to end it there but I had no choice, I had to go somewhere. I promise I'll have the end as soon as humanly possible. Again my profound apologies.
