Chapter 4: The Physicholgical Battle Begins!

Starfire wandered through the main entrance, trying to think of anything but the coldness following her. She examined the gigantic telescope, and walked around suspiciously holding her ground, for anything to pop out. She heard a noise above her, ontop the balcony, and shruged it off thining it was just a mouse. She heard it again and flew to the balcony part of the main entrance. Nothing was there.

"Cyborg? Beastboy? Hello is anyone there?" She asked starting to get scared.

"If this is some sort of joke it is not-" She was interupted.

"This is not some sort of joke my dear" a dark cold voice andswered. It was a familiar voice.

Starfire turned around to see where the voice had come. Out of no where the handsome, long darked haired man appearred, floating in front of Star. A cold, evil shill came over Starfire. She gasped.

"Remember me?" He said evilly, and chuckled at the sight of her fearfull face. Starfire screamed

His eyes opened, the yellow of them once again penetrating into her and all the reocurring thoughts of Darkness consuming her became real again. She didn't fall unconsicous, but she did see the darkness and it was going to try and pull her in again. She started throwing starbolts at it again and agian but it kept reappearing, about to swallow her .

"Dont resist my power" said Dracon calmly, avoiding each of the starbolts she was throwing in reality.

His eyes were the only visible light in Starfires mind.

Meanwhile................

Robin was running he had heard her scream and he knew she was in trouble.

"I'm such an idiot, I should have known!" he kept scolding himself as he ran to starfires aid. Raven had heard the ailiens cry and quickly arrived at the scene before anyone else.

"Let Her Go!!!" She demanded.

Dracon looked at her quickly, his eyes not possing as a threat to her. He advanced on her.

"Dear child, I have big plans for this child and I am not going to allow you to foil them." He said with annoyance.

He raised his hand ready to attack. Black electricity came out from it and Raven shielded herself. The attack and the shield dicintigrated.

"Looks like our powers of darkness are equally matched" he said with regars then his voice got deep and dark.

"But yoou will not fare so well against this!" He moved his arms outward and a black energy twisted around Raven, she was confined and couldn't move. Dracon chuckled.

"Now for the grand finale" he said with delight.

The black energy confining Raven started to tighten on her and shock her. She grew weak and he threw her to the floor with wave of his hand. While Dracon still looked at Raven helplessly lying on the floor, he did not notice that Starfire was still firing Starbolts in reality and in her mind 'to keep the darkness away'. Dracon was thrown to the floor and yellped in pain. He looked up at Starfire entering her mind again.

In Starfires Mind
The Darkness kept trying to grab at her and pull her in, she was terribly afraid.

"Help please someone help" she started to cry (In reality and in her mind). Dracon appeared in her head his eyes glowing maliciously yellow.

The Darkness stoped grabbing at her. She looked aroung. Dracon came nearer amd nearer.

"Please leave me alone" she said frightened.

"O I will dear but only when I get the one hing I want."

The Darkness came up from the ground out of nowhere and grabbed on to her leg. She screamed as it pulled her down.

"Help, Help, Please Someone!" she cried tears running down her face.

The Darkness had already consumed her legs and her stomach and her arms. It was up to her shoulders.

"Once the darkness consumes your pretty little head, your mind and body will belong to me." he said pulling her chin up with his index finger. In reality something had tackled Dracon and he was gone from Starfires sight.
Out Of Starfires Mind

Robin had just tackled Dracon to the ground.

"Let Starfire go!" he demanded

"I don't have time for this" he said and pushed robin away with a force field.

As Dracon got up he noticed that Robin, Cyborg, Beastboy and even Raven were ready to pummel him if he didnt step away from Starfire.

"Fine you win this round Titans, but I will be back, and your Starfire will be mine." he said staring at them with his yellow eyes not knowing that Raven was protecting her teamates with her powers. When he realized his eyes had no effect on them, he put his hands up chuckled and dissapeared.

In Starfire's mind The darkness had let its grip go and Starfire dropped into what seemed like a drop that would last eterninity, but she was caught by Robin. She lied in his hands tired, weak, and helpless feeling. Robin looked into her lifeless blank eyes. He could see the tears that had once, and when she blinked the twinkle and color was back in her eyes. Everything was back to reality.

"Robin" she asked in a whiper, before passing out.

Robin cradled her and looked around at the other titans.

"Lets get her home" he said weekily.

What is gonna happen to Starfire? What does Dracon want with her? Stay tuned!
