The Beginning of the End.
Looking out from the balcony of the tower was a dismal Robin. He was so lost in his thoughts he didn't hear Jinx at all as she went on and on about the wedding details with the wedding planners.
"I will only have blood orchids and other dark flowers. And the colors must be purple, and, red. My dress better be ready by tonight. So must the music! We need to have it all ready by tonight! Do you understand?!" Said Jinx as she shouted to the V-screen
"Understood perfectly my Princess. We will see you later." Said one of the Planners.
"Black Robin darling I need to know what we should serve food wise for tomorrow night. Do you think we should serve clam chowder or should we serve something a bit more Asian? Black Robin? Black Robin, are you listening to me? Hello anyone home?" Said Jinx irritated
"Huh? Oh, Jinx love! I was just thinking about something." He said
"Listen she may look and sound and maybe even act like Starfire but she not your Starfire because she is DEAD! Stop living in the past! She is gone and who ever this phantom and her friends are they are nothing more the memories lost to the wind! You and I are in love and about to wed so stop thinking about her and start thinking about me!" she said impatiently to him as she hurried off to her bedroom to change for dinner.
Robin turned back to vast wasteland and wonder where the girls were. Just then the private elevator came and open up. The girls tried to hurry to their rooms as Tahiri ran to the kitchen to help with supper.
"Starfire! Raven! Nakida! Where have you been? You should have checked in hours ago. I was beginning to worr... WHAT HAPPEN TO YOU THREE?!!!!!!!!!! YOU LOOK TERRBILE!" he shouted at the top of his lungs.
"We are fine Robin." Said Star.
"Nonsense! You three are hurt now tell me how and I will punish those who hurt you three! Now tell me I will have my pound of flesh!"
"No one hurt us Robin, we went into a old building that collapses in a mild tremor." Said Raven.
"Yes I fixed everybody up. We all sustained minor damage nothing that won't heal in a week. Tahiri is the lucky one if Starfire hadn't shield her she could have been killed or at the least severely hurt." Nakida informed him.
"Why do you care about such unimportant person? She insignificant, worthless. So why would you put yourself in harms way just for her?"
All three of them gasped! How could he ask that question? He is or in this case was a hero.
"Every life is important no life insignificant. I would gladly sacrifice everything and myself in my power to save someone I love! There was a time when you felt the same way. But now you are cold as ice with a heart of petrified stone. We are going to go change into something a little more relaxing see you at dinner!" said Starfire with her eyes glaring at him. She and the girls hurried off to their rooms.
Robin was stunned. She had never spoken to him like that. He would have to talk to his father about this. He hurried to dinner.
Soon everyone was gathering around the table as Tahiri set a plate of barbeque ribs and tart tots around the table. The Ladies where dressed in even more fine gowns and the Girls were back in their normal clothes. Robin decided to speak first.
"I would like to apologized for my early behavior. I have been surround by betrayal, lies and deception so long I see only pain, sorrow and misery at every corner. I think it be beneficial if you three spent the night with us." He said as took a huge bite of juicy rib and long drink of ice-cold milk.
"Well, Prince I think we should see if they're trusty worth first. We wouldn't want any spies or traitors in the Tower." Said Blackfire with a gleam in her eyes.
"What to you mean trustworthy?" said Nakida. She was already reaching a boiling point. She wants to smack these girls.
"Well you just can't expect us to trust you out right. With the Rebellion and all we just can't afford to take that chance that you betray us to them. I think this be the perfect time to test the Thought Project Crystal. Its all ready in the Science Lab." Said Blackfire. Her eyes look devilish hungry.
"What is a Thought Project Crystal? I'm almost afraid to ask what its purpose and what its does." Said Nakida timidly.
"It's a crystal that vibrates in tune to the frequency of brainwave and matches syntactic dysfunction. With it we can stop the brain from sending the signals for pacifist function such as aggrieves behavior or lying. It's still in the experimental stages but trust me the primary results look very promising." Explained Blackfire. She seemed most eager to go through the procedure
"Unforturely my Blazing Beauty I can't allow such experimental technology to be used. But if you don't mind Nakida you are welcome to join Blackfire and me at Devil 's Skull Research Tower. It was built over the remains of your old lab where we first met used to stand." Said the electronic voice synthesis of Cyborg.
""Used to stand? What to you mean?" said Nakida
"It was destroyed in a Rebellion attack 3 years ago." Said Cyborg.
Nakida was so shock. After everything that they been through in the last 48 hours what was left of humanity in this world of nightmares?
"Raven I'm sooooo sorry that I've not paid nearly enough attention to you. So you are welcome to join me and the ravishing Terra at the games tonight." Said Beast Boy in a snake like voice.
Raven 's face lost its normal calm. She looked at her love and saw only a beastly demon not the child like face full with a smile and laughter she had looked for love and comfort as well as a way to express she. "What kind of games? Baseball? Basketball? Football?" she question with her eyes locked on his.
"None of the above! Dog fights! My lovely bitch Silver Fang is going to fight to keep her title as Top Dog. She has beaten all of them. Boys and girls. They're not a dog nor wolf or even a hybrid that can beat her! And tonight she is going to prove it. By fighting the other top 9 beast for shot at the title!"
"Beast Boy I 'm so shocked and ashamed of you! The Beast Boy I know hates cruelty to animals and is total against forcing animals to fight for money or pleasure! You are so much better than this! I' ll come but I won't enjoy it." Snapped Raven
"You never enjoyed anything!!!!!! You are emotionless. Even a Vulcan shows more feeling than you. Just don't ruin the rest of the game tonight with your negative attude. We actually enjoy life, not live in your horror land!" laughed Terra.
Raven want to kill Terra right then and there. But she restrained her self.
"Starfire you are welcome to join me and my Father in some business meeting since Jinx will be planning our wedding." He didn't wait for her replied he turned his head and snapped at Tahiri "Tahiri! Go get coffee and sandwiches! AND DON'T SPILL THE COFFEE ON ANYONE OR YOU SHALL FEEL MY WRATH! NOW GO AND GET IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tahiri ran into the kitchen and fifteen minutes later came back with two trays. She then ran to meeting room. Once she was done she ran to Robin and cursity and said. "If it please thy Majestic I humbly request to have the rest of the night off." Her eyes pleading with him.
"Request granted on the condition that you help Starfire, Raven, and Nakida still. Now" he said as he got up he fired beams at her and shoved her to the ground. "Get out of my sight you little dung beetle!"
Raven and Nakida went over to her and looked her over Starfire didn't she flew over to him and hit him and said "ROBIN! YOU HAVE BECOME SO HEARTLESS ITS UNBELIAVEABLE! I DON'T HATE MY ROBIN THE BOY YOU USED TO BE, BUT I HATE WHAT YOU HAVE BECOME! COME GIRLS LETS GO BACK TO OUR ROOMS! NOW!"
"Forget her Robin sweetie! I'll have the slaves work double time to get the wedding preparations ready. You just deal with the usual globe crises. Things will be done in no time. I have to go and reapply my make up. Coming Ladies?" said Jinx as she got up from the table.
Soon the girls were back in the three conjoining rooms. They meet in Starfire's room. She was having an emotional breakdown. She didn't know how much more of this pain she could take.
"Here Star, cry as much as you want. I feel like crying too. But we must not give up hope. We can still save them and the rest of the world I know it!" said Nakida as she hand a handkerchief to Star.
"If its any consolation Ms. Starfire you three are the best thing to happen to this world in half a decade. I always admired you guys. The Teen Titans were my heroes and the still are. Because only a Teen Titan can save the world from one of its own." Said Tahiri
"Tahiri, may I ask you a question?" asked Raven as she adjusted her hood.
"Sure. Ask me anything." She said as she brushed her hair.
"Why didn't you stay with the Rebellion? Surely it's much better than this rat hole. You may not be safe all time but you be free from the pains of this place." Asked a confused Raven
"My parents taught me violence is pointless and all it cause is a never ending cycle of pain and sorrow. Any death the end result of that is mean less and pointless. The harder you push the harder you get pushed back. Let your words save you. Because fists and weapons always turn against the one who wheels them. I promised them before they died I never get involved in the Rebellion. I'll help in any way I can but it will be in a peaceful manner. " Answered the little girl.
"Fair enough." Said Raven she then got up and left to meet up with Beast Boy. The other two soon followed her. Before they left Starfire asked Tahiri what she was going to do.
"I was going to bed and get some sleep." She said.
Nakida after seeing all the damage on her asked what kind of quarters she had.
"I've got a room no bigger then a closet. Has an old busted smelly cot and my diary hidden under the pillow. I keep all my secrets in it. In fact I know more secrets of this place then the Lords and Ladies know themselves.
"Run and get your diary and come back here. You can sleep here tonight. Hurry up and don't let the wicked people catch you, now go! "Said Starfire.
Tahiri was back in five minutes. She quickly wrote in her book and the got a hug and kisses from each of the girls and went to sleep. And for the first time in five years she was no longer plaque by nightmares.
The three wicked ladies were discussing things of their own.
"They are supposed to be dead! I thought Terra's earthquake would make sure they were six feet under and pushing up daisy!!!! I want them out of the way permanently!!!!!!!!!!!!" snipped Blackfire as she brushed her long black hair.
"Look I'm sorry. Believe me I want them out the picture for good as much as the rest of you. Especially Raven. We have a score to settle and this time she is going to be the living memories!!!!!! Jinx you're the smartest one of us. Should we abandon the plan or change it or what?" asked Terra. She had just finished putting on a snow leopard fur dress with a cheetah scarf and a jaguar cape. All made from real fur.
"Believe me everything will work out according to plan. Slade and the Rebellion will be blamed for the boy's deaths. The girls will be blamed as the traitors because they couldn't stand the thought of their loves marrying anyone else but them. We will inherit everything. Thank God that we got the papers signed last week. We will all get our gorgeous vengeances! I will have vengeances for my pain. We will be Queens of the whole Earth! They say the revenge is a dish best served cold. And in this cause it very true! HA HA HA!" She laughed sinfully
At Devil 'Skull Tower there was all kinds of tech. But none of it looked like it would benefit mankind. More like it would destroy it instead! And they where were doing inhuman experiment to human test subjects!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Cyborg I can't believe that you approved of all this monstraited of technology! You know science and technology is absolute worthless and meaning less if not done for love of mankind! Where your heart? You taught me science would only take you so far. You need a heart to complete the journey!!!" scolded Nakida
While Cyborg and Nakida quarreled Blackfire went to the top of the tower. To the crystal chamber. In the center of the room was a large crystal. It was cross between hot pink and royal purple. And it was blinking in a rhythmic pattern. She slid a CD into the computer. Downloading a program in to the system. "Phase one complete smiling wickedly she left.
At the dog-fighting ring Raven was finding it harder and harder to control herself. She notices a 16-year-old girl with short ultra violet hair wearing black and mid night blue clothes was handling the betting ring. She appeared to have very good math skills.
"OK people lets lay down the dough down. Come on lets see some green! I've got 3 grand that say the opponent Buck will beat the Queen Bitch, Silver Fang. I've got 250 Gs on Silver Fang! Come on people lets hear those bets! We still have 20 minutes, till opening fight." Shouted the girl as she took bets.
"Hello Risty Blood. How you enjoying the games tonight?" asked Beast Boy as he lead everyone inside the stadium
"Everything fine. Your dog has a 75 chance of winning. The only one I worry about is Buck. He might pose a threat. He is a mix breed. His Mother was a Labrador Great Dane mix and his Father was a St. Bernard and Scotch shepherded. He is Mammoth's dog. And like his master Buck been given some genetic enhancement! But the probability of Silver Fang losing is like 3 out 7!" said Risty smartly!
Raven took her seat in BB private box. She tried to enjoy the game. But it was sick and wrong! The animals were pushed past their limits some almost died! Silver Fang showed no mercy. She ripped her enemies apart limb from limb! Soon both Silver Fang and Buck were paired up to fight one last time. She couldn't take anymore as she watch the beautiful creatures tried to kill each other. She stood up and her eyes glowed as her cape whipped back and forth. "NO MORE OF THIS MADNESS! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! AZRATH METROIN ZENTHOS!" She screamed as she stops the dogs from killing each other.
Raven and Beast boy got in to what Terra called "Lover Spat" she escaped just as the crowed begin to riot.
"Hello Lady Terra. Shall we make this exchange while the crowed is distracted?" said a sly Risty.
"Do you have it? I know you're gifted in science as well as math." Said Terra.
"First give me what I want and I'll give you what you want!" snapped Risty impatience.
"Here" handing her a envelope "Its filled with 245 millions dollars. And a certificate that lets you own Silver Fang in the case Beast Boy dies. Now do you have what I desire?" asked Terra annoyed
"Here" handing her what looked like a gantlet. She smiled. "It will respond to signal is gets from when your pulse changes. It will also respond to your thoughts and voice. Your power will magnify 1000x over!" Nice doing business with you! "She vanished into to the dark blanket of the night.
To say the least about Starfire night was it was worse than then she could ever image. Try and think of the worst day you ever had and the worst case sonorous and her night was 1trillieon times worse!
Everyone gathered after their devastating evenings. They each told what had happened.
"I can't believe let alone understand what possessed an animal lover like Beast Boy to get into a sports as ugly and evil as dog fighting! It insane that what it is!!!" said Raven coldly.
"You think that weird? I've always known two things about my love Victor Stone. One he longs to be fully human again. And two he loves to play with tech. But I can't believe what my eyes see. That he gives up his biological compotes willing and then abuse technologically like some twisted mad scientist!" said Nakida as buried her face into her hands.
Starfire was running her hand down the curves of Tahiri's body, as she lay asleep in her bed. She had been thinking and had come to the conclusion. She spoke in a hush whisper in a calm clear serious voice.
"I think we should break into Slade office and see what we can find. I don't believe he is the reformed man that Robin makes him out to be. I'm sure he the reason we're dead! We must stop this wedding from happening! And we only have till sunset tomorrow. Are we all in agreement?" asked Starfire with fire in her eyes.
Three hands join together, but before the threw them in the air, Tahiri woke up and said,
"Slade's office has the toughest security in universe! Its impenetrable to get in with out the codes. And only Slade knows them." Said Tahiri sleepily.
"Great! How we supposed to get in and find out the truth? Our powers are useless in this case! Anyone got any ideas to get out of this pit. Because we finally hit rock bottom!" said Raven sarcastically
"Calm down, Raven. You can't lose your cool now. We need you. We'll figure something out." Said Nakida reassuringly as she rest her hand on Raven's shoulder
"We are the Teen Titans after all, Raven. We can do anything no matter how impossible its seems." Said Starfire strongly.
"Ahem," puffed Tahiri All eyes turned to face her turquoise ones. "I did say that his office was impenetrable to get in by force. But it's not impossible to get into."
"What are you saying? You can get us in? How? You just said before it's impossible to get in without the codes and only Slade knows them. How can we get in?" asked Raven in a dark voice.
"I did say you can't get in with the codes form Slade." She said smiling
"Ok could you let us in on the big secret already?" asked Nakida
"I can get the codes from Slade." She replied.
"Oh like you can just waltz right up to him and say "Good afternoon, Master Slade. I'm doing great and you look swell today. By the way I'm going to need to break into your private office so could I have the codes please? Thank you, have a nice day!" Tch I don't think so," said Nakida with her arms crossed.
"Actually I can waltz up to him and ask him." She replied.
"Wonderful, how can you do that?" said Starfire.
"Tomorrow is Slade weekly spa treatment. I give him a massage and some acupuncture. He's out like a light in about 15 minuets. And he talks in sleep. So I ask him for the codes and give them to you and you can break into the office. Pieces of cake." Explained Tahiri.
"Let's do!" shout Starfire. And then they went to sleep.
The next day everyone was busy getting ready for the wedding. Only Tahiri was relived of duty. She was busy helping the girls get ready for the break in.
Around two 'o clock the plan fell into motion.
"Alright I'm ready. Here will use these old ear communicators. Ok just stand by and wait for me to give you the codes." Said Tahiri
"Good luck Tahiri." Said Starfire.
The girls flew to Slade 's office. Raven watch the right end of the hallway and Nakida the left end. Starfire got ready to enter the codes on the holopad.
Slade went to the spa and undress saves for his mask and a towel. He walked in clearly disturbed about something. "Hello Master Slade. You excited about the wedding? Its sounds like its going to be wonderful.'" Said Tahiri as she ready the soothing music and sweet incentive.
"Tahiri I feel sore all over. Just fix it in time for the wedding. I can't miss my son own wedding day.
She went right to work and just as she predicted he was out in 15 minutes flat.
"Ok here it goes," she said after he was out for five minutes. "Slade I need to get into you office to clean. But the door is locked. Could you please be so kind to tell me what those marvels codes are?" She asked
He mumbles for a few seconds then said in a drowsy voice "The first one is Addie Kane."
"Number one is Addie Kane. Got that Starfire?" Tahiri whispered.
Starfire type the name into the holopad screen. "Ok next one." She said.
"Slade what are the next three?"
"Grant, Joe, Rose." He mumbled
"Grant, Joe, Rose. Guys you in or not?" squealed Tahiri
"Not! They're one more code. And we have a minuet to enter it before the alarms go off!" screeched Raven.
"It has to be something significant to Slade!" said Star as she tried his name. "No good its five digits and we have only 30 secs left. Why are the other names imported, Tahiri?" asked Nakida
"The first one is the name of Slade wife, the other three are his children." She replied.
"I got it!" exclaimed Starfire as she enter Robin name into the pad.
"Accuses accepted. Welcome back Mr. Wilson." Said a computer voice said in a cheery tone.
"Who would have thought Slade actually have a family? Go figure!" said Raven in surprise
They enter what seemed like an ordinary office. There were a few paintings and other unusual artwork. A desk with a pc and a filing cabinet. On the right wall was a huge wall of books. Nakida start hacking into the PC and Raven went through the files in the cabinet, and Starfire looked at the book shelve.
"Damm it! There not squat on this hard drive!" as a frustrated as she pound her fist "Any luck Raven?"
"No nothing! What about you Starfire?" question the dark mistress of the shadows.
"All I learned is he got an weird taste in books. The Once and Future King. Chicken Soup for the Soul. Self help books. Lord of the Rings. The Bible and this extremely large book called War & Peace. Oh my!" She said as she tugged at "War & Peace" The wall swung to one side and they discovered a secret room. They hurried into it and found a box full of Memory Disk. All of the were blue. But one was red.
"OK, girls lets played it we need to know the truth! Nakida, try adapting it to your PDA to play in and hurry!" said Starfire.
In about 13 seconds they were playing the disk and they were shocked by what was on it.
"MY NAME IS SLADE WILSON AND THIS IS MY LAST WILL AND TESTIOMENT. MY LIFE STORY BEGINS MANY YEARS AGO WHEN I LIED ABOUT MY AGE TO GET INTO THE ARMY. WHILE IN THE ARMY TWO WONDERFUL THINGS HAPPENED. ONE I GOT GENTICES ENHASMENT THAT GREATLY IMPROVED ME AND 2 I MET THE WOMEN OF MY DREAMS ADDIE KANE. SHE GAVE ME MY TWO SONS GRANT AND JOE. I SOON QUIT THE ARMY AND BECOME A MERCNARY KNOWN AS DEATHSTROKE. ON ONE ASSIMENT MY SON GRANT BECAME IN DANGERED AND THOUGH WE SAVED HIM MY WIFE COULDN'T FORGIVE ME SO SHE SHOT MY RIGHT EYE OUT AND LEFT ME. I WAS DEVESATED. I WENT TO ORENTAL WERE I MET A WOMAN WHO GAVE ME MY DAUGHTER ROSE. BUT SHE TOOK HER AWAY FROM ME AND AGAIN I HAD LOST MY FAMILY. I THEN CAME TO JUMP CITY WHERE I ENCOUTER THE TEEN TITANS AND FIRST LAYED EYES ON ROBIN. IMMEADITDLY I WAS DRAWN TO THIS BOY. WE WERE SO VERY MUCH ALIKE. IN HIM I FOUND A KINDRED SPIRIT. I STUDIED HIM, LEARNED EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM. I FAILED TO MAKE HIM MY APPRENTICE AND MY REVENGE SCHEME DIDN'T WORK. I WANTED ROBIN SO BADLY. I WAS LONELY AND NEEDED A FAMILY. SO I HIRED A HITWOMEN NAMED LADY PANTHER TO GET RID OF ROBIN AND THE OTHER MALE TITANS WEAKNESS THEIR GIRLFRIENDS. FOR THE LAST FIVE YEARS THINGS HAVE FALLEN APART. THE BOY I LOVED AS IF HE WAS MY OWN FLESH AND BLOOD HAS BECOME SO HEARTLESS. I WISH I COULD FIX THE MISTAKES I'VE MADE. THIS DISK WILL BE PRESENTED TO MY SON AFTER HIS WEDDING. BY THE TIME HE PLAYS THIS I WILL HAVE KILLED MY SELF. I CAN ONLY HOPE I WILL BE JUDGED FOR MY CRIMES. THIS IS SLADE WILSON FINALE WILL AND TESTAMENT. THANK YOU."
"Wow this is truly deep for someone leaving a suicide note. Who would have image all Slade really want was someone to fill his loneness. To love him." Said a shocked Nakida.
"Who really cares at the moment? We got the evidence that Slade ordered our murder. So lets go and give it to the boys. Like now!" snapped Raven as she pocketed the disk.
Starfire was feeling weird. The way Slade had just sounded he truly looked like he was regretting his past choices.
"Something is not right. I feel there is something we're missing." Said Starfire.
Before anyone could respond the whole room filled with a sweet smell. In a few minuets the whole room was fill with gas! It became hard to breath and they lost conscience.
"Uh I feel worst then I did when we arrived here. Come lets be going uh?'' said Starfire as she tried to escape but was held back by ancient chains. She turned and saw that Nakida and Raven were also chained up.
"Where in heavens name are we?" asked a confused Nakida.
"We're in a dudgeon! Slade must have gassed us and locked us up to stop us from stopping the wedding." Said Raven
"Good theory Raven, but you have to ask yourself why would Slade chain himself up too?" asked Starfire her eyes gazing to the opposite corner where Slade was chained up too.
"I don't know." Raven replied stupidly
Just then the door at the top of the stairs opened and three shadows appeared. "I hope you are not in too much discomfort" snickered Jinx
The lights came on and the three shadows became the three wicked ladies. Each was dressed in a fabulous dress. But all had a look of pure evil on their faces.
"Tell us what's going on! Why have you chained us up? I demand to know the truth!" said Starfire with her eyes glowing in rage.
"We'll gladly tell you our plan baby sister! We'll even use small words so your tiny brains can understand. Jinx if you will do the honors." Smirked Blackfire.
"Gladly I've waited four and half years to have my vengeance and in an hour I shall have it! You see sweeties in about 45 minuets the triple wedding will begin and fifteen minutes after that we shall be married to the three most powerful men in the world. In honor of such a moment's occasion the boys will have their first drink of alcohol and it will be there last!" she insanely giggled
"This is zazaibra fire water. Its poisons to anyone who not from the Zaza Cluster." Said Blackfire holding up a dark green bottle.
"When the boys drinks this their hearts while go into cardiac arrest and they will die. And since we signed the legal papers last week, in the event of their deaths everything in their names we will inherit it if they die of natural causes." Explained Jinx
"But you'll die too! Because you will be drinking the same wine." Spat Nakida glaring with hatred in her eyes. How could these girls be so heartless?
"No we won't thanks to magic of the Stones of Chontra!" said Terra cleverly as she held three glowing smooth stones the size of a pea. "We just put these babies under our tongues and its magic will neutralize the toxic effects of the wine."
"But because we need an heir to the throne and it has to be of their blood we devised a drug the make sure 250 that will give birth to their child. All we have to do is inject our self with the drug and implant their sperm, which has been frozen. After we secured an heir we'll be made Queens of the Whole Earth. And to insure the we have absolute 100 loyalty Blackfire's Thought Projector Technology will prove most useful. "Said Jinx
"I down load a program last night while you and Cyborg were fighting. It will be triggered when the wedding is televised all around the world! It will make everyone 100 loyal to us. Of course some people will not be effected like the Rebellion so Terra will frighten them into admission!" laughed Blackfire.
Terra held up her right wrist. There was the glove she got at the dogfights. "It's a Nano Cuff Wrist Amplifier! It will respond to my every command! I can pick any place on Earth and destroy it with a thought!" she snickered.
"Everyone will know it's was you that murder the boys! They will have you all executed!" screeched Raven
"Not likely. You see we know for a fact that the Rebellion will be attacking the Tower during the wedding. So everyone will think that you three help them kill the boys cause you couldn't stand the thought of them not marring you! Slade will be included a traitor too. You will be the ones to die and this time you will stay dead. You three have caused a enough pain in our lives already. Because of you I lost someone very important to me." Growled Jinx. Her eyes held back unshed tears.
"What are you talking about?" Slade demanded weakly. He had finally woken up. The Ladies had found him in the spa and sedated him before dragging him down here.
"So the fool finally wakes up. Good you'll be able to hear your crime and understand why your punishment is death." Jinx replied harshly.
"Does the name Lyric Perry mean anything to any of you brats?"
The prisoners shook their heads in confusion. Where was this leading?
"She was a minor duchess in a small European country that no longer is in existents. Shortly after her daughter was born her husband died. The country was anxeried and she lost everything. Her wealth, power, her title even! She took what little she had and came to America. She sent her daughter to school and she became the best hitwomen in the world named Lady Panther in order to gain back everything she had lost. After her last assignment, which was to kill you three, she went to the Bahamas as her reward. She was found by Robin and murdered! I have to watch that memory every year on the anniversary of her death. It sickens me." Jinx explained.
"I don't get it? Why does her death matter so much to you?" Starfire asked confused.
"Because she was my mother!" Jinx shouted. Everyone gasped in horror and understanding. This was personal to her.
"I've spent the last four and half years preparing for this moment. I will make Robin pay for what he did. I never loved him. How could I love such an evil hearted murdering monster? I was aided by my friends here who also had personal agendas." Jinx said.
"What is your reason for doing all this Blackfire?" Nakida demanded.
"Cyborg helped put me in jail. I hate all the Titans for what they did to me. I want to crush them under my foot. Cyborg is nothing more than a walking piece of junk." Blackfire shot back at her.
"I can only guess what your reason is Terra. Beast Boy gave you everything. He loved you but you betrayed us and hurt him." Raven angrily shouted.
"I betrayed him? Wrong! He promised he be my friend forever no matter what! He lied to me like he lied about not telling anyone that I had complete control of my powers. I sacrificed myself for him and what do I get in return when I'm freed from my stone prison? All I heard was about how much he missed his little female demon! Well time for me to get back at the little beast." Terra explained angrily.
"But why are you getting rid of me? I didn't kill your mother." Slade whispered tiredly. The sedative still hadn't worn off.
"Each of us hates you for different reasons. Terra because of what you did to her, Blackfire because you held her back from taking over Tamara after her sister's death, and me because you sent my mother's death in motion. You are going to die alright, but by my hands." Jinx yelled.
The girls had heard enough. They tried to break the chains and escape but couldn't. Jinx had empowered them with magic and they were electronically locked.
Jinx then placed a carbon bomb on the wall and said, "This bomb is set to go off in half an hour. It will blow you all to smithereens! Good-bye forever! I'm off to get my sweet revenge!" They left laughing.
"We got to get out of here now!" said Raven
"But how? We need a miracle!" said Starfire
"I wish Sonia was here! She can hack into any system! I finally figure out why she wasn't responding before. The energy surge that brought us here temporary knock out her system. I think I could reboot her if I could get my palm pilot! "Said Nakida frankly
Just then a section of the south wall slide aside and Tahiri poked her head out. "Told you I knew all the secrets of this palace!" she said.
"Now is not the time Tahiri get my palm pilot and reboot Sonia?" cried Nakida
Tahiri quickly did as she was told and in a minute Sonia was awaken.
"Man that was the longest nap every! Is it time for lunch? NAKIDA!" cried Sonia
"No time to explain just hack into the system and unlock these chains and hurry we only have ten minutes left! " screamed Nakida
In about 15 second they were free! They deactivate the bomb and ran to the secret passage. Tahiri and Sonia head to the master computer room to shut down the broadcast. The girls left Slade in hall and flew to stop the wedding and hopeful save the world and the boy's souls!
