Chapter 18: Together We Stand
Robin held Starfire up in place. She was having a hard time keeping balance. She didnt know what was going to happen next. Dracon was so strong and powerful and she was so weak now. He just stood there smiling at her waiting to strinke at the oppurtune moment.
"Starfire, he won't win" Robin kept whispering in her ear.
Raven senced a confrontaion to come between Dracon and Starfire. A huge battle, but where would Starfire get the energy needed for that!? She was so weak and frail. Dracon started walking towards Starfire and she weekily held out her arm creating a pathetic looking starbolt.
Dracon chuckled.
"You seriously think you are going to beat me with that!? Whats in your mind child? O right....I am" Dracon said and huirled the familiar starbolt and Starfire.
She was knocked out of Robins arms, and landed a few feet away.
"Why are you doing this to me?" she asked helping herself up.
"Starfire you hold a great power, one that was easy to manipulate but hard to destroy. You caused a great challenge for me. I expected you to be dead by now but you held on to life and only to watch all your friends die." He said looking around.
Starfire watched him with wide eyes as he pointed a starbolt at Robin.
"He'll be the first to die. He was the one that kept itching into your mind. He was the one that distracted you from my wrath, and now he is the one that will die at the hands of your beholder." Dracon said
"Your are not my beholder!" Starfire exclaimed outraged.
No one could control her. She was a free spirit. Raven sensed the energy of empowerment come forth throughout Starfire.
"Starfire its ok. I will take care of him." Robin said trying to calm her down.
At his words Starfire started to feel weak again. He really was her weakness.
"Robin, please...Dracon is my battle. I must finish him!" Starfire said walking forward.
She nearly collapsed but Robin caught her. Robin felt so terrible. He knew he had to do something but what!? He laid her on her knees and turned towards Dracon.
"HIIIIYAAAA!" Robin took out his boe staff and attaccked.
He brutally beat Dracon down harder and harder. Dracon was very bloody and bruised, but quickly counter attacked with a starbolt. Robin was knocked off his feet and thrown to the darkness ground.
"Robin!" Starfire cried.
He was not moving. Dracon advanced on her, and grabbed her chin pulling her towrads him.
"Well I guess wonder boy couldnt protect you after all."
All the titans watched in disbelief. Starfires eyes lit up in rage once again and shot shot Dracon with an eyebeam. He fell far away and landed hard on the ground.
"You will pay for that one!" Dracon said
He hurled hundreds of starbolts at Starfire but luckily Raven was able to make a shield for Starfire to protect her. Then Raven did something she had never done in her life. Massive amounts of black energy was swarming around Starfire and sunk into her body. Raven yelled over to her before passing out.
"Starfire! That is all my power! You know how to use it!"
Starfire looked thoughtfully at her now trancle-like friend and mustered up all of Ravens and her powers.
Dracon was now charging at her at a super fast speed. He had a Starbolt in his hand and a crazed look in his eye.
"AZERATH... METRION... ZINTHOS!"
A mixture of black and green light emitted from Starfires body and lit up her mind. Dracons body disintigrated within the energy and eventually he was gone. Gone forever. Starfire felt a little shocked that she had done this. She had actually destroyed Dracon with her and Ravens power. The feeling of shock sonn changed into the feeling of weekness angain. Starfire had used a lot of energy. She could feel her self collapse backwards, but, strong armsa caught her. It was Robin.
"Starfire!? Starfire?" She heard his worried voice say, but slowly it began to go away as everything around her did too. Her astral mind had fallen unconcious, and when she would awake things WOULD be as they should.
