Disclamer: Dont Own Teen Titans

Chapter 16

Save Beastboy!

Terra walks into the room where Beastboy was being held. Walking up to the cage, she looks inside it, seeing Beastboy curled up into a ball, sleeping soundly. Anger races through Terra's whole body, her face turning into a twisted scowl. Summoning her powers, Terra raises several small sharp and pointy rocks. Directing them towards Beastboy, she sends the first of the five through Beastboy's leg, causing him to wake up yelling in pain. The sharp jagged rock had gone right through his leg and ended up embedded in the ground. Beastboy looked up in shock at Terra while holding his leg to try and stop the bleeding.

"You lied to me, Beastboy. Just like you always did. You lied to me again!" Terra shouted, her voice filled with hatred.

She sends another jagged rock through the cage, this time hitting Beastboy in the left shoulder, pinning him to the ground. Beastboy cried out in pain, barely able to keep a hand on the wound on his leg.

"I asked you who had died in the tower. If you had just said it was Starfire, then we wouldn't have to go through this, would we? But no. You had to play the hard way and now look what you've made me do."

"T...Terra...I said no body died in the tower because nobody died! I swear it!" Beastboy said, his voice cracking because of the pain.

"LIAR! WHY MUST YOU CONTINUE TO LIE TO ME?!" Terra shouted, her rage building. She summoned the other three sharp rocks and pointed them at Beastboy's head.

"Terra! Don't do it! Please...don't do it! You're better then this! Don't you remember? I'm you're friend!" Beastboy pleaded.

"I have no friends." Terra replied coldly.

Terra used her power for the last time on Beastboy, turning the pointed rocks towards him once again. One aimed for his chest, the other two to his head.

"Good bye, Beastboy."

Just as Terra was about to kill him, she was no longer in the room with him. The cage wasn't in front of him. She was instead out on the streets of Jump City, the early morning fog surrounding the entire street. Confused, Terra spins around as she hears something behind her. Seeing nothing, she starts to panic, fear plain on her face. This had happened to her before, the first time Slade had taken her in. Before she could move, she was hit from behind, a hard bone jarring shot that knocked her forward into the air a dozen feet. Terra slowly sat up, holding her head. Turning around, she saw her attacker.

"Beastboy? How the hell did you get out of your cage? Guess I'll just have to destroy you the old fashioned way. Say goodbye." Terra said, trying to use her powers. "What? What's wrong with my powers? Why won't they work?"

Beastboy stared at her, an evil smile on his face as he changed into a gorilla and charged her, leading in with a heavy punch to the chest, knocking Terra into a nearby van. Terra hit with such force that the van crumpled and tipped over on its side. Beastboy was instantly upon her, in the form of a lion, his jaws dripping with drool. Terra looked up in fear, realizing that for once in her life, that she was scared. No, she was terrified. Terrified of dying, and being unable to do anything about it. She looked into Beastboy's lion eyes as he closed his jaws down on her throat.

"What did you do to her?" Beastboy asked, as Raven healed his wounds.

"You should know what's happening to her, Beastboy. She's living her own worst fear. And from the looks of it, she just died." Carcer replied, seeing Terra scream and then lie deathly still.

"Will she be ok?" asked Robin.

"She'll be fine. I cannot kill anyone with my powers. Or rather, these powers. I could easily kill with my other one. But now that she's out of it, we should do a mind jump and see if we can repair the damage that Slade has done to her. She won't be out for long, and this is neither the time nor the place to do it. Robin, do you have any knockout gas in that belt of yours?"

"Yeah I do. Hang on, I'll give her some. She'll be out for a few hours. And we still need to find Starfire and Cyborg. I'm not sure if they're ok or not." Robin said, reaching into his belt and pulling a small silver ball out. Walking over to Terra, he places it right next to her head. After he walks away, the ball detonates, a small hole in the top of it opening and spilling the gas over Terra.

"There. That should do it. Let's get her out of here and find the others." Robin said, walking through the door.

Beastboy walks past Raven and Carcer and picks up Terra's limp form, carrying her carefully. He follows Robin out the door. Carcer glances at Raven, a small smile crossing his face.

"You go with your friends. I need to find something really fast. I'll catch up in few minutes." He said.

Raven stares at Carcer, then nods, walking out through the door. Carcer watches her leave, then turns his attention to the room at hand. He spies another door leading out, the sign said dormitories. Jogging quickly over to the door, he overrides the control panel and walks through. A series of doors extends down the long hall, each with a different name on the outside. Walking quickly down the hall, he reads off the names until he finds the room that he wanted. It was at the end of the hall and the nameplate on the outside of the door said "BROTHER BLOOD" on it. Once again overriding the control panel on the outside, he enters Brother Blood's room, amazed at how big it was. The bed was on the far side of the room, the covers on it a brash red color. Walking over to the bed, he slowly ran his hand across the covers.

"Silk. What a cheesy prick." He says to himself. Turning his attention away from the bed, he looks over at the work desk, which besides the chair near it, was the only other furnishing in the room. He walks over to the desk and sees his mask lying on it. Picking it up, he quickly straps it on, relief running through his body as the familiar mask now covered nearly all of his face, with the exception of his eyes, forehead and hair. Looking at himself in the mirror, Carcer brushes his hair back with both hands, then walks out of the room. Jogging back down the corridor, a door in front of him opens and Gizmo walks out. Not even slowing down, Carcer jump kicks Gizmo back into his room, the door shutting loudly. As Carcer continued jogging down the hall, he could hear Gizmo cursing loudly.

"Ragenfragm snotnose barf brain!"

Carcer smiled beneath his mask, and turned from jogging to flat out running, trying to catch up to the Titans before they got to far ahead of him.

In the meantime, Raven, Robin and Beastboy were walking through the long corridor, Beastboy still carrying Terra. The trio of friend walked in complete silence, not even looking at each other. Robin decided to break the silence.

"What were you thinking Beastboy? Going off on your own? Not even telling us where you were going? We're your friends! You need to tell us these things! You can't go off on your own to rescue Terra! That was incredible stupid!" Robin yelled at Beastboy.

"Oh yeah? What about the time you went after Slade dressed as Red X? Huh? You didn't tell us what you were doing. And because of what you did, someone stole the stupid suit. Don't go lecturing me about what I need to do Robin. I don't need to hear it." Beastboy shot back. "All I want to do is get Terra back on our side. Then we can find Cyborg and Starfire and rebuild the tower."

Robin stared hard at Beastboy, but said nothing, as he realized that he was right. Robin dropped the subject and continued to walk along the corridor. Raven started to say something when she felt a hand on her shoulder, startling her. Several lights explode above them and Raven whirls around to see who had grabbed her.

"Carcer! What do you think you are doing?" Raven snapped.

"Sorry. My bad. Didn't think you'd freak over that." Replied Carcer. "I had to go back and grab the mask. It'll help me sleep, which I think is a good thing for everybody."

Raven stares hard at Carcer, then nods and resumes walking. Robin and Beastboy also stare back, before resuming their lead walk. Carcer shrugs and follows. After a few minutes of walking down the corridor, the four companions see the exit. And standing in the way of said exit, were Mammoth, Jinx and Gizmo.

"Oh great. Just what we need." Robin moaned.

Beastboy gently laid Terra down on the floor, and walked in front of Robin, Raven and Carcer.

"Get out of the way." Beastboy said, fire in his eyes.

"Sorry. We don't do requests." Mammoth said, charging Beastboy.

Beastboy quickly turned into a gorilla, grabbing Mammoth by the neck and throwing him through the wall. Turning his attention to Gizmo and Jinx, Beastboy roars in anger, and chargers both the HIVE members. Jinx jumps nimbly out of the way, only to meet Raven's dark powers, consuming her entire body, restricting her arms and legs. Gizmo, on the other hand, wasn't quite fast enough, and was literally run over by Beastboy, his computer backpack crushed under the weight of Beastboy's gorilla body. Gizmo slowly tries to get to his feet, obviously in a lot of pain. Beastboy wastes no time in picking up the small boy and hurling him through another wall. Turning back to his human form, Beastboy walks up to his friends.

Raven holds up Jinx in front of Robin.

"Start talking. Is what you said earlier true? Did Terra destroy Cyborg and Starfire?" Robin questioned.

Jinx stares back at Robin, her eyes fiery with anger. "Go to hell."

Robin glances towards Raven, and nods his head. Raven slowly tightens her power hold on Jinx. Jinx started to feel her body slowly being crushed within Raven's power.

"Ok! Ok! Yes. Terra did destroy Cyborg, but Starfire wasn't there! Don't you know that? She died in the tower when we destroyed it!" Jinx squealed.

Raven loosens her power hold on Jinx, letting her fall to the floor. Jinx slowly gets to her feet, and looks at Robin.

"I...I 'm sorry about Cyborg. Even if you don't believe me, I really cared about him. I know that it isn't Terra's fault at what she did. I saw what Slade did to her. And uh, thanks for not...you know, killing me." Jinx said, running past the Titans and back down the hall.

Robin looks at his three companions. "Starfire was still alive in the tower. I wonder if she escaped from Terra. She must have. Otherwise she would be right there with Cyborg..." Robin said.

"Cyborg can't be dead...he just can't be..." Beastboy said, this being the first time that he heard of Cyborg being dead.

Beastboy runs ahead of the rest of the group and out the door, leaving Terra behind. Robin looks from Raven then to Carcer.

"Go after him, Robin. You should go with him, Rae. I'll bring Terra along. Go see if there's any hope for Cyborg." Carcer said, stooping down to pick up Terra.

Robin and Raven nod, then take off after Beastboy. Carcer slowly follows the Titans, being careful not to do anything stupid, like drop Terra.
