Thank you all for the reviews the last couple chapters. Thought I'd lost you all there. To anyone who hates dragonballz, sorry. I love that show almost as much as Teen Titans so you'll just have to live with the fighting being dbz style. I'm not too sure on the length of this chapter, probably an ok length. My next story I swear each chapter is going to go on for hours. I had a long night. Got set on fire three times, three! The things I do to win a card game. Anyways, keep on reading. Little bit of swearing in this one, not much though. "Thirsten" means thirst or something, I think. coughReviewcough

I do not own Teen Titans.

Chapter 17: One Final Fight

All Titans Views

Taen was still feeling charged from his energy when he remembered the situation that they were in. He looked down to see Robin, being crushed by Sinister's boot. "Let him go!" Taen yelled down, not wanting to strike with Robin in the way. "He isn't going anywhere Taen! If you fire and kill me, he dies! If you don't fire , I still kill you, then you all die! Either way you lose somehow!" Sinister taunted from his ground position. Taen glared at him, knowing that he couldn't kill Robin. The Titans needed him, especially Starfire.

Taen looked over at the others for help. None of them were moving, just watching their friend sit there and die, not that they could help. "We need to help Robin!" Starfire said. "I know, I know! What can we do though? We've tried everything," Cyborg said. The two were trying to think up plans to help their leader, but couldn't really think of one that was very good.

Then they heard a loud noise behind them, a thump. The two turned and found Beast Boy, standing again and looking pissed off. He walked forward slowly, each of his steps making a loud noise. "Get out of my way," He said through clenched teeth. The two others stepped back, shocked at their usually nice mannered friend's attitude.

Sinister was laughing cruelly as he continued to step on Robin, the monster slowly breaking Robin's ribs. "Say goodbye Robin. If it makes you feel any better that whore of a girlfriend will be joining you soon," Sinister said. "Shut up!" Robin yelled and punched Sinister in the leg. "Little punk," Sinister said and spit his blood onto Robin's face. The creature began to kick Robin in the head. Then he raised his finger, which was glowing yellow. Robin stared into Sinister's eyes, hate filling him. "Bye," Sinister said. "FUCK YOU!"

Sinister turned towards the source of the loud voice, and saw Beast Boy hurdling at him. Before he could move, the changeling had morphed into a bear, and crushed Sinister as he landed on top of him. "Now!" Cyborg yelled. He and Starfire ran in, firing blasts at the ground to create a wall of dust. They picked up Robin. "Get off of me!" They heard Sinister yell through the cloud. He blasted Beast Boy the bear and sent him flying into his friends, causing the four of them to collapse on top of each other.

"Now!" Beast Boy yelled up at Taen. Taen looked down, shocked for a moment. "Sinister! This is for all of the innocent people that you've killed!" Taen yelled and threw his hands forward. The red energy began slowly, then seemed to pick up pace as Taen let out a yell. "It's now or never!" He yelled down at Sinister. The monster stared at the energy speeding towards him in shock, never having felt such a pure form or power. He managed to throw his hands up and fire his own blast just in time, his blue energy clashing with Taen's red.

Sinister felt himself being forced back wards, his heels digging into the ground beneath him. "No way!" Cyborg said. Sinister had managed to stop himself, and was now fighting back with everything he had. "I will not be beaten! I must get out of this world!" Sinister yelled as he put more of his power into the beams he was firing. Taen felt himself falter slightly, but regained himself moments later.

"It's not working man!" Cyborg yelled. Robin wanted to say something, but was at a loss for words. He had thought that this would do it for sure. "This is not good," Starfire said as she held onto Robin tightly. "You have to beat him Taen! You have to!" Beast Boy yelled. None of them could believe their eyes.

Taen was still struggling to hold his ground, Sinister's energy growing rapidly. Taen pushed back though. "It can't end like this... it won't!" He yelled and put more strength into his power. Sinister let out a surprised noise as his knees buckled from the force of the extra energy, but he didn't fall. "Can you feel it boy? I was created to be perfect and I am!" Sinister yelled at Taen angrily.

The monster took a step forward, then another, gaining ground on Taen slowly as his beam overpowered the teens own. Taen continued to struggle as he was pushed back in the air, attempting to put all his power up in one last attempt. It was not working. Sinister kept on going, clearly un fazed by the power coming his way.

"He's running out of energy!" Cyborg said while checking his sensors. Sure enough, Taen's power was dropping as they spoke, his energy blasts growing weaker the longer he stood. At his current rate, Taen wasn't going to be able to hold off Sinister. "Go! Get out of here!" He yelled down at them.

"Look!" Starfire yelled and pointed, not at Taen, but at the ground below him. Under Taen, Raven had managed to walk over to the spot beneath him, stumbling every few steps. 'You will not die alone out there' She thought to herself as she stopped walking. Slowly she began to float up to Taen.

Taen was not fairing to well at that moment, his energy just about to give out. Finally he collapsed in the air, his arms and head hanging down as his blasts failed. Now Sinister's beams slowly took their course towards him. "Raven?" He said as he looked up at the dark girl who had just flown up next to him. "Get out of here!" He yelled quickly. He didn't want her to die too. But Raven did not go, instead, she held out her hand to him. Taen stared at it for a moment, and then grinned weakly, grabbing her hand as he did so.

"What?" Cyborg said to the others, who weren't sure of what was going on either. Robin didn't look confused though, but triumphant. "This is it!" He said to the others, who stared back at their leader in shock, not sure exactly how the knew this.

Raven stared at the energy blasts coming at them, almost on top of them, then looked back at Taen. "I love you," She said, feeling free. "I love you too," Taen said and looked at her, remembering their times. The one, a stranger. Unknown to the Titans just weeks earlier, now he had grown on them all, changing himself as he did so. The other, a goth. Quietest among the Titans, she had changed over the last few weeks as well. And it was because of each other.

Raven and Taen turned back to the blasts of bright blue and lifted their hands together. "Ah!" They yelled out at once, their energies raising dramatically. Sinister stared at shock at the two regenerated fighters as they both launched out a shot, one red, one black. They collided with Sinister's energies and stopped it in its tracks. The blasts fought for a moment, and then quickly began to move towards Sinister.

"What?" Sinister said as his beams were quickly overcome, and on top of him quickly. The beams connected with his hands, barely holding them back as he slid across the ground, rocks shooting up as he was dug into the earth by force. "They're doing it!" Beast Boy yelled to the others. Sinister's hands gave away, the energy pressing against his bare chest, flesh being torn away from the heat of it. He began to feel the blasts tear through him, clenching his teeth as he attempted to retreat.

Robin held onto Starfire, raising the cheering girl into the air as they yelled, "Raven!" Cyborg and Beast Boy cheered happily as well yelling, "Taen!" Then together they all shouted out, "Finish him!"

Raven and Taen tightened their hands together before letting out a cry of fury, releasing all the energy that they could muster. There was a bright flash of light as the beams tore through Sinister, tearing his body to pieces. "NO!" He yelled as an explosion went off, causing the others to shield their eyes as it blinded them. Then there was silence. The explosion over, energies gone, the only thing moving was the debris that shot into the air from the blasts, purple blood among it. The creature no where in sight as the smoke cleared.

"Is he really gone?" Beast Boy said to the others. Cyborg was scanning for anything unusual. "I think so," Robin said. Then the Titans bursted into cheers and applause. They jumped all over each other, happy to be alive, to have won the battle. Raven and Taen slowly floated to the ground, still holding hands tightly. "You did it!" Beast Boy yelled happily as they landed, turning into a puppy and jumping into Raven's arms. For once she did not cringe, and let Beast Boy licked her face.

Starfire gave both Raven and Taen a back breaking hug, blushing as they winced at the pain. "Sorry," She said to them. Cyborg walked up to the two of them and gave them a pat on the back, beaming as he did so. Robin just stared at them, a slight grin on his face. The two got the message. Taen stared down at his arms and hands, looking at the scars, which seemed to fade slightly before their very eyes. He brushed at the one on the back of his hand. "I know where the portal out of here is," Taen said to them.

Before anyone had a chance to ask a thing, a loud evil laugh went off, sending the team into a frenzy. "What was that?" Beast Boy asked. Taen looked at Robin, who nodded. "We have to get out of here fast," Their leader said. The ground began to rumble, sending the Titans to the ground. "I'm not sure what's going on here but I do have an idea," Taen said, "What's that?" Cyborg asked. "Without Sinister this world is unstable, as it was created off of his power to control dreams. Unless one of you happens to have that ability as well, we need to leave now," Taen said. "Go!" Robin said and took off, Taen quickly passing him.

Taen jumped into the air, grabbing Raven around the waste to help her along. Starfire did the same for Robin, and Beast Boy changed into a hawk and grabbed Cyborg. The group took off, going higher into the air so they could avoid the exploding rocks. "Why didn't Sinister do this to stop us?" Robin asked while looking at the exploding land. "I'm not quite sure that he ever mastered all of his abilities," Taen replied. "And he said he was perfect," Beast Boy said and grinned. "There!" Starfire yelled.

Ahead of them, near the ground, was a diamond shaped portal. It was dark colored, though it looked to be a deep purple, not black. "This portal will lead back to our awake bodies, automatically waking us up," Taen said and rushed towards it. Then they heard it. Loud running footsteps in front of them, but the portal was in the way. "It's him!" Robin yelled to Taen. The Titans looked confused but then saw it as well.

In the air was a man, jumping forward with his leg first. Taen took a hit to the chest and skidded across the ground, landing in some rubble. The man stood up and faced the Titans, his visible eye narrowed at them. "Slade," Robin breathed as he stared at the villain. Slade stood directly in front of the portal, blocking their exit. "I'm afraid there will be no leaving for you Robin," He said to them.

The Titans, though weakened from battle, prepared to fight. "Come with me Robin, and I will allow the others to leave safely," Slade said and stepped aside. "Go, we'll be there in a minute," Taen said as he got back up. "As you wish," Slade said to them. The other Titans walked through the portal, Starfire and Raven pausing at it, looking at their boyfriends sadly. "GO!" Robin and Taen yelled at them. The goth and the alien reluctantly walked through the portal, wondering whether they would see their lovers again.

"I must admit to you, these new powers are quite useful. Now that Sinister is dead they all belong to me!" Slade declared. Taen realized he was right. "They won't last forever," He said. "I know. However, I will always have the strength of Sinister, just not his abilities," Slade answered. "It is quite a feeling... In fact, if I concentrate hard enough I can make this world stable once again," Slade said and closed his eyes. Almost immediately, the rumbling stopped.

"That's much better, now where were we?" Slade said. "We were just about to finish you!" Robin said and jumped kicked. Slade jumped away and grabbed Robin's leg, throwing him aside. "My power is far beyond anyone's! Even yours Robin!" Slade yelled and launched a fireball. Robin reacted quickly, sending out a freezing disc and making the fireball freeze. Then Robin kicked it into the air, where it exploded into several large icicles. Slade weaved through them easily and knocked Robin down. "Your time is running out!" Slade yelled, laughing.

Robin glanced at the portal, and saw that it was closing slowly. Taen hadn't even moved from his spot, he too was looking at the portal. 'Slade is trying to shut it before I can leave' Robin realized. Slade seemed to know what he was thinking. "I might be the master of this world but even I can't shut that portal quick enough. It has too much positive energy," Slade told Robin. "Of course, I can re-open it with ease but that would require some sort of apprenticeship," Slade said to Robin. "Never!" Robin yelled and punched. Slade easily dodged it and grabbed his throat. "Now what do you say?" He said to the Boy Wonder.

Bam! Taen had jumped out of no where, slamming Slade in the back with both fists and sending him flying. "You'll regret that," Slade said and cracked his neck as he got up. "Go," Taen said to Robin. The Titan stared back. "What?" Robin asked stupidly. "Get through that portal!" Taen yelled. Robin stared at his friend. "I'm not leaving you," Robin said to him as Slade loomed closer. "He won't let us both go!" Taen argued. Robin stared in shock at the selflessness. "They need you," Taen said. "She needs you," He added. Robin knew exactly what he meant. Slade was in the air, his hands glowing and flying at Taen. "GO!" Taen yelled and grabbed Robin by the shirt. Then he threw him through the portal. Robin saw Slade and Taen hit each other at once and then saw nothing. He was going back.

Oh joy! Enjoy that chapter? I hope you liked how Sinister was finally killed off, I just had to throw Raven in there. She hadn't done a thing for like three chapters. One more chapter folks, and then this story is done. I think that this deserves a sequel, but it's really up to you people. I've got a thing next chapter I want some people to respond to, so read it carefully. Until then, keep reviewing, it isn't over yet.

Next Chapter: Robin is sent back to his world, and finds everyone alive and well. But the portal has closed, and Taen isn't back. How will the Titans react to this? More so, what about Raven's reaction?

Review please.

"Me? I flipped off a box of kittens".
