OMG! I'm so sorry I haven't updated in so long! I actually had this chapter ready for you five days ago, but as many of you know I live in Florida, and Frances hit. I actually wrote this chapter during the beginning of the storm, but I couldn't update because of power problems. And don't worry, I'm alright. My house is just fine but we have a lot of really big trees down all over my street, one is blocking the road. Oh, and just so you know, I had to go for FIVE DAYS without power... in FLORIDA!! You know, the state where it's really HOT. My power just came back on like half an hour ago, so now you know that updating is one of my top priorities (besides dancing around the house screaming because our power's back on). So here's your chapter!
(everything below is the original chapter which I wrote before the hurricane (starting with the disclaimer))
Disclaimer: I don't own the teen titans, but it seems the people who do think just like me! Terra painfully burned to death, which makes me happy !
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Robin paused to catch his breath. He was panting heavily and his body was coated with a thin layer of fear sweat. He faced two different paths he could take, one turning to his right, one to his left. He sighed, not knowing where to go. He randomly picked one tunnel and began to crawl. This is how he had been traveling for the past ten minutes, just randomly choosing a path. He wanted to get as far away from the place he had entered through as possible so he would be harder to track. After he knew he was safe, then he'd try to find his way out of the mess of air tunnels.
'I have to get out of here! The longer I'm in these tunnels the more time Chaos has to find me. I'm sure Silver and Cold have already found her and told her everything... well they may have left out the part about me acing them in combat.' Robin smiled to himself at the thought. 'I don't think she has any cameras in the vents up here, so I doubt she'll be able to track me that way. But these things are made of metal, so that does give her some kind of advantage.'
Robin froze and held his breath as the sound of voices flowed towards him from ahead. Slowly, Robin inched his way forward until he was peering through a vent into the room below.
"What am I going to do!! He's somewhere in this building. He could be anywhere!! How am I supposed to find him?" Chaos was in a panic. "What if he's hurt!? He better not be hurt!"
Robin's eyes widened as he viewed the room below him. It was Chaos's control room. Monitors covered every wall, each with a picture from a different security camera. The main computer database of the building sat in the center of the room. Chaos hovered over it, frantically trying to find Robin on any of the hundreds of cameras in the building. Silver and Cold stood behind her, looking fearful and ashamed.
'I always knew I had a good sense of direction,' Robin thought smugly to himself. 'I was able to find Chaos's control room all by myself, without any help at all! Oh, I so wish Chaos hadn't taken my communicator, then I could contact the Titans and tell them exactly what's going on.'
"Why didn't we install any cameras in the air vents?" Chaos asked angrily, even though she knew herself that putting cameras in air vents would have been a very stupid thing to do. How often would she need to use them anyway?
"Silver! Cold!" The brothers stood before her. "Since you two allowed him to get away into the vents, I want you both to go in after him." Silver and Cold looked at each other. They had known she would order this of them. "But if you find him, don't hurt him at all! I don't care if he hurts you, you are not to harm a single hair on his head!"
"And how are we supposed to do that, my lady?" Silver asked, a hint of annoyance and anger in his voice. He was very mad at Robin for beating him earlier, and wanted nothing more than to punch a hole through the boy's head with a metal stake.
Chaos didn't seem to notice the tone of her minion's voice. "Take these." Chaos held out two tiny metal devices. They were semi-circular and no larger and a fingernail. "Just attach one of these to any part of his flesh and he'll be sleeping in an instant. Then you can carefully bring him back to his room. I'll be here, watching the cameras to see when and where you come out of the vents. When I see that one of you is out with him, I'll meet you at his room."
"We shall find him, Chaos," Cold said with a bow as he and Silver left the room.
'Oh great, now they're after me in the vents. Looks like I'm not safe anywhere,' Robin thought with a sigh. 'Might as well stay here and keep an eye on Chaos, then.'
Robin watched as Chaos viewed every camera's picture on the walls. She froze when she noticed a black screen. "One of my cameras is out! How the heck..." She began to punch buttons on the main computer. "It's the one in the front of the building. The titans must have destroyed it... What are they up to?" Chaos began to punch more buttons.
'The Titans? Yes! They're coming for me!' Robin thought with relief. 'Shouldn't be long now! Starfire will be here any minute and everything will be alright. I can't wait to see Chaos's face when they bust in here and teach her a lesson! I hope they can figure out how to get through this building to find me, it's a virtual maze in here...'
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Beast Boy and Starfire jumped in surprise, awakening from light sleeps. They had both dozed off on the couch a while ago while watching a program on the lifecycle of the aardvark (Starfire's choice).
"Wha... what happened?!" Beast Boy asked, still in a daze. His ears rang from the sound that had awoken him. As his eyes began to focus, the centered in on a large machine sitting in the middle of the room, a few yards behind the couch.
"What is that?" Starfire, wide awake, asked.
"This is our new baby!" Cyborg said, patting the machine fondly with one hand and placing his other hand on Raven's shoulder. She smiled at Cyborg's comment.
"WHAT!?!?" Beast Boy yelled. He jumped off the couch and quickly pulled Raven away from Cyborg and into his arms. "Your baby?!"
"Whoa! Chill, Beast Boy! It's just an expression!" Cyborg said, startled by Beast Boy's tone and actions.
Beast Boy relaxed a bit but still held tightly onto Raven. "Don't even JOKE like that man."
"Uh, sorry... Well this is the machine that Raven and I made to break through Chaos's walls to rescue Robin, if anyone wanted to know..." Cyborg said with his hand still on the machine.
"Oh, it is wonderful, Cyborg!" Starfire said as she gracefully floated over to hover beside machine. "Is it completed?"
"Yeah, Star. We can leave anytime, but right now would probably be preferable," Cyborg told her as he pressed a button on the machine which caused it to turn off with the same loud sound that had awoken Starfire and Beast Boy earlier.
"Uh, Cy, is there a way to muffle that noise? Cause I bet if you set that off right outside Chaos's lair someone would probably notice," Beast Boy said as his ears continued to ring.
"Oh, yeah," Cyborg said, grinning, "It doesn't have to make that sound, I just wanted to give it a little extra something."
"Oh, well thanks a lot..." Beast boy muttered rubbing his pointy ear with one hand, holding Raven in his other.
"We must go now to save, Robin!" Starfire impatiently grabbed Raven and Beast Boy's hands and pulled them both violently towards the door to the staircase.
"Ahhh, calm down, Star!"
"We can walk, yah know."
"Hey, I could use some help with this!" Cyborg called after them, but Starfire had already yanked his two teammates down the stairs and out of earshot. Cyborg, grumbling angrily to himself, picked up the machine with some difficulty and carried it towards the stairs all by himself.

I think I'll stop here now and post this so you all know I'm still alive! Hopefully all my loyal readers haven't left me! You guys all rock! I hope you liked this chapter. I'll update as soon as I can. I know, it takes me sooo long to freakin update! School is really hard and time consuming. It's my first year of high school AND I'm in IB (hard program if any of yah know what it is). But I'm GOING TO FINISH THIS STORY! Don't worry!
Hmm... I think I'll just give a special thanks to everyone who reviewed from the last chapter. I want to get this chapter up and answering reviews will take a loooong time because there were so many of them! Thank you to all my reviewers for reviewing!!

Oh wow. That's all of em! I know there are people out there who just read this story and don't write a review! I'd love it if you did! I like to hear from my fans !!
Okay, my advice for today is... never sleep on hard wood floors with just a sleeping bag and three dogs all over your legs. You wake up very cramped. Also, don't sleep in a bed with your little sister. She'll roll over on top of you and her hamster will wake you up at 2 am because it has an urge to run on it's happy little wheel. (both events occurred because of the darn hurricane!)
That's all for now folks!
