Hi. Thanks for all the reviews. I hit my goal there, any reviews at all. Special thanks to Damn-my-name-was-taken, who has stuck behind me even after the sex scenes. I'll be sure to read any story you may write. More fighting this chapter, with a better ending. I love to leave people wondering how the Titans are gonna get out of their latest problem. Like with Sinister about to kill Raven at the end of last chapter! Speaking of which...

I do not own Teen Titans.

Chapter 14: Can't Give Up

All Titans Views

The Titans all watched in horror as Sinister stopped before Raven, his claw raised above his head. He smiled cruelly at her. "You will not hurt my friend!" Starfire yelled and flew down at break neck speed. She kicked Sinister in the head before he knew what had hit him. He went flying into a mountain, which exploded in a cloud of dust when he connected. Starfire picked up Raven and quickly brought her over to the others.

"Is she alright Star?" Robin asked worriedly as he rushed over to Raven's side. "She is still breathing," Starfire answered and bit her lip nervously. "We have to try and get out of here quick," Cyborg said. Before he could suggest anything else, he was cut off by a loud and anrgy yell.

"No one gets the jump on me!" A voice behind them said. The Titans looked back, only to find Sinister in the hair, his hand outstretched towards them. "I am sorry to say that this concludes the part of the dream where you stay ALIVE!" He yelled before firing a large green energy blast at them. The Titans watched in shock as it flew towards them. "NO!" A voice yelled. Someone threw themselves in the way, the blast exploding as it hit their body.

The Titans coughed and gasped, unsure of what had happened. "What was that all about?" Cyborg coughed out. Another explosion sounded off in the distant, the boom shaking the ground slightly. "Where is Beast Boy?" Starfire yelled over the noise, sounding confused as well as scared. Sinister landed in front of them, laughing maniacally. "I believe you are looking in the wrong places my girl," Sinister said and pointed to a newly collapsed mountain.

The Titans looked at it, the truth dawning on them. "N-no... you didn't," Cyborg stammered. "I didn't do a thing, he did. I guess Beast Boy thought his life was worth less than all of yours. Oh well," Sinister said in a carefree tone. Cyborg glared at the monster, seeing clearly that it was his best friend who had just sacrificed himself. 'My best friend...' Cyborg thought as he walked towards Sinister slowly. "You should have seen him go flying!" He yelled.

Cyborg stopped in front of Sinister. "You're not going to get away with this," He said, barely containing his anger. "I think that I will," The creature said and laughed again. Cyborg let out a furious cry and punched. Sinister ducked. "I cannot be deafeated," He said and jumped up. Sinister kicked Cyborg in the head and watched as the robot fell backwards, creating a small crater in the ground.

Starfire quickly flew away from Raven and jumped into the air, firing green energy from her eyes. The beams sliced up Sinister's back. "That tickles, I don't like that," He said. Without even turning around, he did a backflip and kicked Starfire on the top of the head. She smashed into the ground and began to get up. "And stay down!" Snister yelled. He came crashing down quickly, landing on Starfire's back. She let out a scream, blood shooting out of her mouth.

Sinister stepped off of her, and surveyed his handiwork. Starfire near death, Cyborg's system going towards a shut down, Raven unconcious, Beast Boy dead. He smiled at Robin, now the only one of a once great team left standing. "Down to one... I guess my job is done really. I have no wish to hurt you Robin," Sinister said to him. "It really wasn't a bad fight, you did get off a few good hits. Master will be pleased," He added to Robin, as if reviewing his fight.

"You may not wish to hurt me but I need to hurt you," Robin said and unleashed his bo staff once again. "Foolish boy," Sinister said. He launched a quick beam that Robin easily hopped over. He smacked Sinister across the face with is staff, and then jumped into the air. With a series of kicks, he managed to back Sinister into a crevice of rocks. Robin went for a kill shot, aiming for the throat with his bo staff. "Hehehe," The creature quietly laughed as he shifted through the rocks. "Huh?" Robin managed to mutter. Sinister came through the rock to Robin's left. He quickly punched Robin down to the ground.

"I always loved Abrasion's abilities," Sinister said. "Ah!" Robin yelled and threw out a flash disc. Sinister covered his eyes from the light as Robin smashed the staff into his stomach again. "No!" The creature yelled. Robin was pushing him towards the cliff side with his fast strikes. He threw himself away from the next blow quickly, then struck Robin in the face. He hit the ground dizzy, but Robin quickly snapped out of it with a yell.

"Robin! LOOK OUT!" He heard Starfire cry out. Robin looked up amazed to see a golden light filling the area brightly. Robin barely had time to yell, much less dodge, as an energy ball landed on him, the explosion going off loudly. Sinister admired his work as the ground collapsed, a cave below the area now exposed. He floated down slowly, searching for Robin. Nearly a hundred feet down he found him.

Robin looked a mess, his clothes bloody and torn, his face cut up badly. His bo staff was still in his hand, tightly clenched. "I thought you said you were going to hurt me," Sinister said. He began to beat on Robin, tossing him into the air then kicking him down. "If Slade didn't need you I'd have finished you by now!" Sinister yelled and blasted Robin once more. Then there was silence.

Cyborg and Starfire weakly crawled over to the hole and peered down. "Do you think that he is alright?" The alien asked nervously. Cyborg searched with his scanners. Nothing. "I'm not sure Star-" He stopped talking as an explosion sounded behind him. Robin was in the air above them, a column of energy lifting him up. He came back down yelling, smashing onto the ground fifty feet away.

The two Titans eagerly rushed over to them. "Robin!" Starfire yelled and wrapped her arms around him. "I'm alright Star," He said. Robin sat up weakly, wincing as he did so. "You are not fine," Starfire said to him as she helped him kneel. "We can't beat him, there's no way," Robin said. "Well we can't give up now. Look," Cyborg said.

Sinister was slowly rising out of the ground where Robin had been thrown from. His features weren't maniacal anymore, but looked rather angry. "I must admit that you Titans have done much better than I could have expected from you. After all, it's been so long since I've fought I forgot what it was like to be hurt," He said. "That supposed to be a compliment?" Cyborg said.

Sinister laughed. "In a way," The creature answered. "This is pointless, I should just finish you off now. Yes, master will be pleased then. He'll understand that though..." Sinister seemed to convince himself. He raised his hand above his head, and a pink energy ball slowly grew there, stopping at the size of a large truck. "Since none of you can stop me then you shall be destroyed!" Sinister yelled. He threw the energy ball down.

That was nice. Hope you enjoy chapter endings like that. Though my "next chapter" part will give stuff away genrally. There will probably another chapter or even two where they end like that. Once again not the longest chapter, though I promise the next one will be longer. Keep reading and all that good stuff, like reviewing!

Next Chapter: Taen finally arrives at the battle scene, recharged and ready to fight. Now it's the Titans turn to watch as Taen goes against his greatest enemy ever. Will the teen be able to accomplish what no one else could and finish off the Dream Master?

Party on.
