Chapter 14
Cyborg's Gone?
It had been no more then 3 hours since Robin and Raven had left, Cyborg sat by himself, finally finding some tools around the warehouse, he had fixed his sonic cannon. Now, he was working on his left leg, as it had also been damaged. He looked over at Starfire, who was finally able to walk around without much pain. She was flying slowly around, trying not to overexert herself and hurt herself again.
"Careful Star. You're no where near full strength yet." Cyborg said.
"I know this Cyborg. I shall take it easy. How are your repairs going?" Starfire asks.
"Good. I just need to connect this last circuit and...done!" Cyborg replied.
Getting off the table, Cyborg walks around the warehouse while Starfire watched. Turning up from a walk to a running pace, Cyborg ran quickly around the warehouse. Coming to a stop, Cyborg breathes deeply.
"Wonderful! You are repaired!" Starfire said enthusiastically.
"Yeah, almost. I just need to fix the coverings on my arms and legs and I'll be good to go." Cyborg said, pointing to his legs, showing the coverings on his circuits all cracked.
"But to do that, I'll need to order special parts...I wish the Tower hadn't been destroyed. All my supplies were in there."
Starfire nodded, wishing herself that the Tower was still standing. Sighing deeply, Starfire lowers herself onto the table that Cyborg had been sitting on.
"I wonder how Robin and Raven are doing on the mission." Starfire said.
"I'm sure that they are just fine, Star." Cyborg said.
Before Starfire could ask anymore questions, the whole warehouse started to shake, the ceiling starting to collapse. Cyborg ran to a window and looked outside. Outside the warehouse was Terra, using her powers to bring down the warehouse.
"Star! Get out of here! It's Terra!" Cyborg yelled.
"But I cannot leave you!" came Starfire's concerned reply.
"Star, right now you will be more of a distraction then a help to me the condition that you're in. so don't argue with me, just go!" Cyborg shouted, as he jumped out of the way of a falling ceiling tile.
Starfire took one last look at Cyborg and flew out the back door, so that Terra did not see her. Cyborg watched her go, then turned his attention to Terra. Running out the front door, Cyborg stared Terra down.
"Hello Terra. Nice to see you again." Cyborg said sarcastically.
"Sure is Cy. Hope you're ready to be destroyed." Terra replied.
Summoning her powers, Terra lifts a huge section of the ground and hurls it at Cyborg. Cyborg shifts his arm to the sonic cannon and blows most of the boulder away. Aiming at Terra, Cyborg lets loose a blast, which she easily dodges. Terra charges at Cyborg, bringing up several small boulders behind her. Jumping and kicking a Cyborg, who blocks all of the kicks, Terra throws the boulders at him, nearly all of them hitting Cyborg in the face and upper body. Cyborg flies backwards into the warehouse, part of it crumbling and falling on him. Pushing the rubble off of him, Cyborg stands up and turns back to Terra, who had once again brought up a boulder and threw it at Cyborg, hitting him and crushing him, his left arm getting torn from his body, his right leg crushed to a mechanical pulp.
Terra stands over the fallen figure of Cyborg and laughs. Cyborg raises his head, his face contorted with pain, he tries to lift the sonic cannon, only to have it crushed by another boulder. His red eye slowly starting to fade, as his systems crashed.
"Too bad you're little Titan friends weren't here to help you. And now you are dead. I'd say better luck next time, but there won't be one." Terra said to the body of Cyborg. Turning on her heel, Terra walked off.
Behind Terra, on the roof of another building, Starfire watched her leave. Tears streaming down her face, Starfire flew down to Cyborg, angry with herself at not doing something, sad that Cyborg was no longer in this life. Lifting Cyborg's head, Starfire rested it on her lap, crying softly.
After about an hour, Starfire slowly lifts Cyborg's head off her lap and places it softly on the ground. Starfire stands up slowly and flies off, leaving the body of Cyborg slightly buried under the warehouse rubble. As she flies through the city, Starfire wonders where she should go; weather she should try and find Robin and Raven, where Beastboy was. Hundreds of questions went through her mind all at once. After a few hours of flying, Starfire spots a place where she could land and rest. The top of a newly built clock tower. Landing on it, Starfire falls to her knees and cries, not knowing what else to do. Starfire looks into the sky, tears flowing freely down her cheeks. The sun setting in the distance, small clouds in front of the sun, the sky a fiery orange-red color. Exhaustion finally takes its toll on Starfire, as she collapses on the roof of the clock tower, tired from the day's horrific events.
GASP! Now what? Cyborg's gone, Starfire dont know what to do, where will it all end!?
