Chapter 8: The Destroyer

Over the next couple of days, it was quiet at Titans tower. The Titans had all visited the infirmary and were feeling better but they were still shcked at what had happened to Starfire. Raven completely shut down from everyone else and always stayed locked up in her room. Beastboy and Cyborg didnt fight anymore about tofu or waffles and they didnt play video games. Robin took it the hardest though. Starfire was his best friend......no.......more than that, to him....He promised he would protect her from Dracon and instead he ignored her trying to find out how to save her. He was the reason that Starfire was now under mind control, he was the reason the tower was so quiet. He was the rason Starfire felt so much pain. Or at least thats what HE thought.

It had been a week and there was no sign of Dracon or Starfire. Robin spent most of his time on the roof, where Starfires last moments with the Titans were.

"Its all my fault Starfire. I shouldnt have been soo stupid." Robin thought angrily to himself, only wishing that Starfire could hear him.

His communicaor went off and he rushed to the main room where the big screen was.

"Whats the trou..ble" Robin said sloly trailing off as he looked at the screen.

Raven, Cyborg, and Beastboy were already assembled there and were staring at the screen as well. Dracons face had appeared there and he was smiling.

"Hello my favorite titans" he said menasingly.

"Where's Starfire!" Raven demanded.

"O your friend....." He said moving to the side of the screen and pointing his arm out toward her.

In the darkness of the room they were standing in, the titans could see two vibrant glowing green eyes and a shadowy body. Lights turned on and the Titans watched through the screen how Starfire appeared. SHe was wearing a simliar armor to something that Blackfire had owned. Metal covered her legs, arms , and stomach. She had a tight black shirt on and black skirt. There was also something on her forhead that the Titans couldnt quite make out.

"What have you done to her!" Robin said angrily as he looked at the emotionless alien standing there.

"She is now under complete contol under my powers. You see the gem on her forehead? It allows her powers and my powers to combine, and helps me order her with out looking at her." Dracon said walking towards Starfire and touching her fore head.

"Dont touch her! Dont you ever touch her!" RObin said even more raged.

"Or else you will what? Destroy me? Sorry to burst your bubble, but everything that happens to me has a direct effect on you Starfire, thanks to the gems planted on both our heads." Dracon said cruelly as he lifted his bangs to show the gem that lay behind them.

"Noo" Raven and Cyborg gasped.

"What!" Is all that Beastboy could think of saying at the time.

Robin looked down trying to think of some other way to save Star, but couldnt think of anything.

"WHat are you planning?" he asked instead.

"Its simple really.....Starfire is the destroyer. I plan on destroying this puny planet, with her powers. Of coarse though the power it takes to do this will kill her in return. It is a small price to pay to get what is wanted." He said smirking and looking at Starfire.

"Why do you want to destroy Earth?" Raven asked angrily.

"It would be easier for me to just destroy then rebuild and then rule over this planet rather than having disobediant humans as my followers." He said.

"When do you plan on doing this?" Cyborg asked angrily.

Dracon answer without a real response.

"When the sun and the moon are at their heights in the sky and the world is cast into a shadow." he said smiling and the screen went blank.

"What!? Like we're supposed to know when that is!" Beastboy said stunned.

"It's the next eclipse, moron." Raven said rolling her eyes.

"The next eclipse is in 4 days" Cyborg said in disbelief.

"And we will be ready to fight" Robin said. His head hung low and even though you couldnt see it his heart did too.

"Ill be in my room" He said as he slowly turned trying to stay stong for his team. But he didnt feel strong. He felt terrible, terrible that he was going to have to battle the one thing he loved to keep everythig else in the world. Robin went in his room and sat on his bed. He looked at a picture of Starfire and him at the park. He was pushing her on the swings for the first time.

"I will save you Starfire, even if its the last thing I do."
