Disclaimer: What did we learn last time? I don't own Teen Titans!!
hEyBaByDoLl: Thank you! I'm glad you think it's interesting.
solodancer789: Voila! An update!
NocturneD: Yup. Thanks! It's probably not going to be my best fic, but it's ok.
clueless90: Thanks, and it's updated!
AREZAL: Yes, how did you know? Hey, once you post it, I'll read it. Apparently, there aren't many RobStar fics left. Huh, and I don't blame them. The Beast Within (the episode) had even me believing that it was RobRae. Huh, idiocy.
Julesfire: Thank you! I hope people will like it. Well, the sort of smile I was trying to convey is a bittersweet anger sort of thing. She's feeling a lot of emotions all at once, but the point is: Star has to leave to make the whole plotline work. You'll see. She cares about everyone; you bring up a good point. But if you remember Forces of Nature, the one with Lightning and Thunder, she is not always quick to forgive. After all, she feels that everyone is breaking up. Remember the Rekmas? Since she thought everyone was gone, she failed the older Titans. So she gives up. You know? I should have put this down before! Oh well.
Chapter 2: Leaving
Starfire hurried from the room with the pink bag on her back, darting and hiding like before. But this was for a different purpose. Not watching where she was going, Star bumped straight into Raven, causing a domino-like effect. Star fell on Raven, who fell on BB, who fell on Robin, who fell on Cyborg, who was squished. "Uh, I need air." Cyborg gasped. The other four hurriedly stood up.
After regaining control of his lungs and heart, Robin asked, "Where are you going?"
Starfire cowered slightly. This was the part she was hoping to avoid. She had already written a note to place on the table. She gave this to Robin and rushed past, hoping against hope that she could escape before they finished reading it.
It said:
Dear friends,
I have received a transmission from Tamaran. I am to go home immediately since Galfore..., you remember Galfore right? Galfore, Grand Ruler, has died, so I am now Grand Ruler. So I must go home and either rule or pick a new leader. Please do not follow. So good-bye, perhaps forever.
Starfire
As the Teen Titans finished reading this and letting it soak into their brains and process it, Starfire was on the roof and getting ready to go.
Robin was the first to react. He called, "Titans, go!" and dashed into the rec room and up the stairs, to the roof. After understanding everything, Raven grabbed the others with her powers and transported them to the roof. Once there, everyone saw the silhouette of Starfire against the morning sun, drifting upwards like a leaf.
Raven was quick to use her powers to clamp the Tamaranian's arms to her body, pulling her down. But, perhaps in anger, desperation, fear, sadness, or all, Star's energy aura flared around her, stopping Raven from pulling her back. Cyborg started blasting at her, his sonic cannon, carefully on 'stun'. He knew Robin would kill him if he hurt Starfire. She, however, easily dodged the shots and flung a starbolt at him, sending him flying into the nearest wall. Cyborg didn't get up; he was completely shocked. Beast Boy morphed into a bird and tried to peck her back down, but Star grabbed him and tossed BB into Raven who was about to chant her favorite mantra. They both lay there, exhausted, until Raven impatiently pushed Beast Boy off of her.
Robin, on the other hand, tried a different tactic. "Hey Star, could you please stop shooting us with starbolts?"
"No. I am leaving, and no one shall stop me." She turned around with a huff and began to soar off.
He was prepared for this, hurled a cord around her ankle and began climbing up. Starfire, eyes wide with sadness and determination, formed a starbolt, gazed sorrowfully into Robin's horrified, masked eyes, and threw it at the rope, successfully severing the twine from her foot. Without anymore distractions, she flew up and away.
Robin fell at an amazing quick speed, but Raven's powers formed a net to catch him. Therefore, he was safely brought back to the roof. The four gazed up and sighed in unison.
"I never thought this would be the way Star would leave, if ever," Cyborg whispered sadly.
"I can't believe she was attacking us," Beast Boy declared, shocked.
"I never told her that her future was intertwined with that of fate and that the clown and sun fell on top of the rainclouds and fire," Raven stated. No one had any idea what she was talking about.
"I had no time to tell her that I loved her," Robin whispered, a lone tear trickling down his face.
And as they watched the sun keep rising, Cyborg realized "She still has her communicator. We can contact and track her with it." The remaining Titans hustled down the stairs to the main computer. Raven's agile fingers tapped on the keyboard, searching for her signal. And they found...
"There is no signal from her communicator. It's probably off-line or broken." Their fears were confirmed.
"Can you check for any signal in outerspace?" BB asked idiotically.
"Yes, but... none of them are Starfire's. Cyborg, did you record the path to Tamaran?"
"Nope, never thought we would need it."
A 'whump' of light feet interrupted anyone's next words. "Could it be Starfire?" Robin whispered hopefully.
"We'll see. Come on." Cyborg directed. The Titans tiptoed onto the roof.
Standing there was a stranger. A Tamaranian, by the slightly orange skin, with turquoise-blue eyes and long, ebony black hair. She wore the same outfit as Starfire except it was a forest green instead of purple. Her blue eyes glowed turquoise as her hands flared cerulean as well. All in all, she was different from the other Tamaranians they had met when they had first visited Tamaran.
"Dude, she looks different than the other Tamaranians we met," BB whispered to Cyborg.
Raven was a bit more polite. "Uh, hello. Who are you?"
"I'm Fi'ander or Moonfire of Tamaran. Is Kori'ander here?" she replied.
"Uh..."
"She has just left," said Robin, who was the only one who knew Starfire's real name.
"I see. Thank you." Moonfire soared up and disappeared.
"Uh, am I the only one who thought that was weird?" Beast Boy asked to the sky.
"You aren't the only one," the other three said simultaneously.
Second chappie done! I know it's short, but I thought it merited its own chapter. So that's why. Like before, constructive criticism is appreciated, but flames will be used to make s'mores.
