Chapter 6

Today was a normal day, the sun was shining and birds were singing. Beastboy got up and greeted the other titans.

"Hey Beastboy." Robin said. Beastboy wasn't listening as he made his way to the couch to watch TV.

Meanwhile Terra was just getting up. She had forgotten where she was but when she got a good view of the room she remembered she where she was. She found Slade working at his computer.

"Hey, you know I never got to know your name." Terra said.

"Slade" Slade said, Blade being the first thing to enter his mind.

"Slade?" Terra said getting angry. She was about to leave when Slade said something to her.

"I meant Blade" Slade said trying to calm Terra down.

"Oh for a second I thought you were in cahoots with the other Slade." Terra said as started to walk out of the room.

"Where are you going child?" he asked.

"I'm going to go find something to eat." She said with an attitude. Slade resisted the urge to drop her where she stood but since he had to be like a "friend" he had to be a "nice" person. He just nodded and let her go. He could find her easily for he had placed a tracker on her clothes.

"Wait. Should you find those evil titans, do not hesitate to destroy them." Slade said.

Terra nodded and flew away on a rock with renewed spirit. She had found a friend or so she thought. She realized she had no place to go to get food. She barely had money. She had about four dollars that Slade had given to her. She flew to a cheap restaurant and had some pancakes. It was the first meal she had in a long time. She would have gone back to Slade after that but she decided to fly around town instead. As she flew around she caught site of the titans eating outside. Since she was convinced they were her enemy she attacked them. She picked up a big rock and threw at the table. It went crashing through it. The titans looked and saw Terra. Before they could talk Terra threw three more boulders at them. The titans dodged them and without even saying a word they attacked. Cyborg and Robin ran towards her and Terra made the chunk of land they were standing on fly up taking them with it. Suddenly a starbolt blew up the rock Terra was flying on and she fell. Raven stopped and held her with her powers. Terra struggled to get out but she could not. Suddenly out of nowhere Robin and Cyborg came down from the rocks they were on.

"Terra stop." Robin said. Terra responded with her eyes glowing yellow. She looked at a few rocks and they lifted into the air and fired at Raven. This broke her concentration releasing Terra. All of the sudden Beastboy in gorilla form came and gave her a bear hug.

"Terra stop. We're your friends." Raven said.

"That trick won't work on me." Terra replied as and earthquake started. Giant rocks came out of the ground and formed fists and were thrown at the titans and Beastboy. Beastboy had to let go of Terra to dodge. Robin took out his pole and started chopping the fists in half. He jumped up lunged towards Terra in a diving formation. This eventually changed into a kick that sent Terra back a few feet.

From his computer Slade was watching the whole thing.

"Very good Terra. I didn't even have to tell you to attack the titans." He said to himself.

Back at the battle the titans were holding their own against Terra. Terra was throwing the biggest boulders all over the place. One boulder hit each of the titans' heads and they fell to the ground. Terra formed swords above their bodies and prepared to fire them. Before she could energy arrows slammed into them and destroyed them. At the same time a jet of fire slammed into Terra's back. The titans turned and saw the boys saw old friends. Speedy and Hot spot were standing on top of a building both still in firing position.

"Who are they?" asked Starfire.

"Their names are Speedy and Hot spot. We met them when we were zapped into some tournament of heroes. Hot spot and Speedy jumped down and walked over to the titans.

"Robin, long time no see." Speedy said.

"Good to see you Speedy. How'd you know where to find us and how'd you know how to come?" Robin said.

"These communicators do more than communicate." Speedy said holding up his communicator.

Suddenly a rock hit Speedy's back but it did little damage.

"You again" Terra said angrily.

Speedy readied an arrow. Cyborg prepared to fire his sonic cannon, Raven prepared her psychic blast, Hot spot's hands erupted in flames, and Robin prepared to fire his explosive disk. Starfire's hands started to glow green. Terra lifted a few rocks and prepared to fire as well.

Everyone fired but Speedy who wanted to wait for the right moment to attack. The titans and Terra fired their attacks which resulted in an explosion. Speedy searched through the smoke for Terra. When he found her he fired three freeze arrows at her. Each one hit and froze her in solid ice. The titans walked up to Terra and examined the ice.

"That won't hold her for long." Cyborg concluded.

"We should head back to the tower." Robin said. The seven of them headed to the tower as Terra began to break out of the ice. By the time she was out the titans were gone. She flew back to Slade who was waiting for her.

"Very impressive battle Terra." Slade said.

"I cannot believe I let them get away. I would have finished them off if those other two hadn't shown up." Terra said angrily.

"Patience Terra. We will get them in good time." Slade said resisting the urge to silence Terra permanently right now.

At Titans tower the titans were making Speedy and Hot pot fell at home.

"Thanks again for saving us you guys." Robin said.

"Yes, we thank you for saving us from our once friendly comrade." Starfire said.

"So are you guys planning on staying?" asked Cyborg.

"Well we thought you guys may need some help stopping that guy with the mask once and for all." Speedy said.

"You mean Slade? Slade's not behind this... is he?" Asked Beastboy.

"Well actually we came to town for to visit you guys when we ran into Slade and that girl." Hot spot said.

"You mean Terra." Raven said.

"Yeah." Speedy said.

Beginning of Flashback

Speedy and Hot spot were jumping on buildings heading for Titans Tower when Speedy dropped his communicator. The two of them jumped down to retrieve but when they got to the ground they couldn't find it.

"Looking for this?" a voice said from behind them.

Speedy and Hot spot turned around and saw a man holding the communicator. He had a black and orange mask on his face.

"Hey thanks" Speedy said as he the communicator.

"No PROBLEM." Slade said as he kicked Speedy in the face. Suddenly a boulder slammed into Hot spot's face.

"Hey what was that for?" asked Hot spot.

"That was for being a titan. This is just for fun." Slade said is he got out his bo-staff and through hard at Speedy. It hit him smack in the face. Terra fired more rocks at Hot spot who melted them all with hot flames.

Terra's hands glowed yellow as stone hands came out of the ground and grabbed the feet of Hot Spot and Speedy. Speedy aimed an arrow at the arms that bound him and fired. Hot Spot burned the arms and fired a fireball at a small balcony above Terra. It fell upon her and buried her in rubble. Speedy bound Slade with a net. The two titans saw their chance and fled the battle leaving Terra and Slade all tied up.

End of Flashback

"And that's just about it." Hot Spot said. Suddenly an explosion came from the entrance to the tower. Slade walked in calmly.

"Why it's nice to see you again. Did you miss me?" asked Slade.

"Why would we miss..." Beastboy was interrupted by a boulder as an earthquake started. Then out of the ground came a head made of rock. It was as wide as half of the floor of the room the titans were in. On the top of the head was Terra who had am evil grin on her face. Suddenly the ground shook more as the rest of the golem's body came out of the ground. It broke through the tower in two. The golem was about as tall as the tower and it had a sword of rock in its hand.

"Attack" Terra said as the she jumped of the golem as it charged at the titans. It swung its sword at Robin. Robin jumped on to the sword and ran up to the arm of the golem. Robin jumped up and through three disks at the chest of the golem. Each blew up when they made contact with the golem. Each disk pushed the golem back. Beastboy turned into a T-Rex and tried foolishly to bite the at the golem's feet. The golem picked up Beastboy and through him into the sea.

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos" Raven said. Raven bound the golem with her powers and tried to keep it at bay. However in a few short moments the golem broke free and swung its sword hard at Raven. Raven made a shield with her powers. It barely defended her from the sword. Starfire was about to attack but Slade dealt a blow to her head that knocked her out. Starfire fell to the ground unconsciously. The ground under Starfire flew up and carried her away with Slade and Terra. Robin having seen them get away tried to follow but a stone blade stopped him.

"STARFIRE" he cried as Terra and Slade disappeared from view. Robin couldn't follow because the golem grabbed him in one of his hands and squeezed him hard. Robin yelled in pain as he felt his body being crushed. Cyborg blasted the back of the golem rapidly causing him to let go of Robin. Beastboy was still a T-Rex and he rammed his head into the golem's chest. Since a dinosaur's skull is very hard it shattered the chest of the golem. Robin through more explosive disks at the hole in the golem. Cyborg blasted the golem in the hole as well. Raven lifted what remained of Titans Tower and through them at the hole as well. Speedy and Hot Spot fired more arrows and fireballs at the golem as well. The combination of blows split the golem's chest and head from the rest of its body. The two halves of the beast fell into the ocean making a huge tidal wave. The titans looked at what was once there home. It was nothing more than rubble thanks to that golem.

"Well... what do we do now? We have no home anymore." said Cyborg.

Robin was just silent.

"Hello Robin... What do we do now?" asked Beastboy.

"We find Slade... and Starfire." Robin replied.

"Robin what do we do about a place to stay for the time being?" Raven asked. Robin just walked over to the rubble. He moved a few pieces of debris and eventually doors in the ground. Robin opened them and there was a ladder leading below the ground. The others saw this and wondered what it was.

"What's this?" asked Speedy.

"It's our temporary home for now." Robin said.

"How come we never knew this was here?" asked Cyborg.

"I hid it with a cloaking device. I knew this would come in handy." Robin said as he climbed down the ladder. The others followed. At the bottom of the ladder was a passageway. The titans followed it and came to two silver doors. There was a green pad next to the doors. Robin put his hand on it and the doors opened. The titans walked in and saw six more doors that led to rooms. The sixth door was for any extra titans that may come. There was a large computer screen in the middle of the room and a refrigerator at one corner. There were punching bags and tools also in the room. There was a TV, a couch and a table located at the other corner of the room.

"WOW" the titans said not expecting this place to be so... roomy.

Cyborg and Beastboy went immediately to the TV and turned it on. Robin quickly shut it off.

"Hey why did you do that?" asked Beastboy.

"First things first. First we have to find and rescue Starfire." Robin said forcefully.
