Okay, listen up. I have the rest of the story down. I mean, I don't actually have the chapters down, but I have this big, fancy plan in my notebook right now. There will be six more chapters including this one (more than you thought, huh?). This chapter and chapter fifteen will both be very long. Fifteen also has a song in it, and it has to do with the chapter, not to give too much away. Since I'll probably take longer to update these last chapters than the ones before them, I'll be really nice and give you the plan right now. (PS I know I sound all serious, I just realized that, but no worries, I'm still my crazy self.)
14. Get Revenge – The Titans vs. Philip – a final battle for Star…
15. Get Out, Right Now – Song Chapter w/ BBRae fighting
16. No Place Like Home – A really fluffy RobStar chapter!
17. Dreams Come True – I am not completely sweet… wait and find out!!!
18. Forevermore – Well, it obviously has to do with Raven, and BB is in it, too…
19. Cup Half Full – Or is it? – Umm, almost happy ending, until something happens…
So I might not have given you TONS of information on the next chapters, but now we have the agenda thingy down. I also have previews down on my sheet. I'll preview something from Get Out, Right Now at the end of this chapter, actually. Anyway, this might not be that much of a big deal for you, but it is for me. I spend most of my time in school passing notes with friends that sit close (in fact, I am the mastermind of passing notes – the only time I was ever caught was in the cafeteria when we were on silence), so I never have that much time to be organized…
Anyway, this chapter is obviously about the Final Battle or whatever, and how they have to save Star. And a few other things happen between a certain beastly person and a certain gothic girl… Anyway again, I have a really long chapter ahead of me, so I'm not going to write any more of my POV besides dedication & disclaimer.
Disclaimer: IDOTT, but (not to be selfish) I am starting to be obsessive about this story. If anyone is close personal friends with Cartoon Network, then tell them to read this and make a Teen Titans movie based on it!!! (Not that they would, though, because I'm assuming they have more important things to do.)
Dedication: To , I guess. I mean, I don't have anyone else, and this story is my first and also really exciting, and they made it happen. So thanks!
Fourteen: Get Revenge
Outside The Mansion:
Robin turned away from the window to the others. He couldn't believe his stupid self. He didn't have to tell Philip that he knew where he was. He could have snuck up on him. Then Starfire wouldn't be knocked out and lying there, completely bloody.
"Sorry, man," Beastboy said, obviously mortified. "I had no idea that that loser was a homicidal freak. I just thought he was a regular freak."
"It's not you fault, either of you," Raven said politely. "I guess love just does strange things to a person. Now, listen, we need a plan to get in-"
"Love?" Robin interrupted angrily. "Why do you all assume that?"
"There's nothing wrong with that," Cyborg said innocently. "Look, man, there is nothing wrong with being in love. I mean, maybe if you were in love with a famous actress, or an evil villain, then it could get bad. But it's Starfire, Robin. She's pretty, smart, and even if she's in danger, she doesn't usually need your help."
Even though Cyborg was really thinking, You're right, you coward, you shouldn't be in love! You shouldn't be the Titans leader! But Robin was one of his best friends, and he wanted his friend to be happy, Titans leader or not.
"Yeah, I guess," Robin said thoughtfully. "I guess you're right. So there's nothing wrong with being in love with another Teen Titan?"
"No," Raven said exasperatedly, "okay?" She sounded to the others like she just wanted to go and save Starfire, but to Beastboy, she sounded… well, almost like she was thinking and wondering the same thing. Thinking and wondering if she could be in love with…
…Him? No, of course not. Right?
He shook his head and turned to look away from her. "Okay, well, I guess we need to break in there. Maybe your metal staff thing, or something, Robin?"
Rolling his eyes, Robin nodded and busted the window open. As he had expected, this triggered many alarms. Instantly, Philip came racing down into her cell, sword drawn and ready to fight. Cyborg was also ready to fight, but the others seemed to have other things on their minds.
As Robin raced to grab Starfire and get her out of there (and was, of course, easily stopped by Philip), Raven grabbed Beastboy and pulled him behind the corner of the house.
"I spoke to Starfire on the way here," she whispered, hoping Philip wouldn't hear them. "We don't stand a chance against Philip, okay? Hear me out. None of us do, not even Cyborg. None of us but Robin."
"Why?" he asked in surprise.
"He can take our powers, Beastboy. His sword does that. He'll take my psychic and telekinetic powers. He'll take your transformation powers. He'll take away Cyborg's blasts. The only person who stands a chance against him after that is Robin."
"Oh," he said, still in shock.
"Yeah," she said, blushing a little at standing so close to him. She was just starting to realize that her face was really only inches away from his…
"Well, anyway, we need to get two really good shots at him before he takes our powers. Then we can sit on the sidelines, I guess. Obviously his taking our powers will hurt us, but… well, we've got to save Star, right?"
He looked at her softly, a newfound sadness in his eyes. So many times before he had called her cold. He had thought she had no feelings of love or even like toward others. But now here she was, preparing to risk her life for an alien girl she didn't even like. She even found Star immensely annoying, and he knew that.
"Um, Raven?" he asked unsurely, watching Cyborg strike his last attack out of the corner of his eye.
"Yeah?" she asked nervously, doing the same thing.
"I'm sorry about when I always got mad at you. You know, back then? I didn't mean it, I swear. I mean, I guess I sort of meant it back then, but it wasn't true. And I'm really sorry. And I know it wasn't-"
She put one of her fingers to her lips. Then she whispered, more nervous than she could ever imagine, "Kiss me, Beastboy."
"What?" he asked in surprise.
She looked down. "You were right. Before I started to like you, I was cold. But then I started to try not to be cold… that was for you. I don't know what my emotions mean, but I feel something for you. Something different. Please, I want to know what it's like."
He nodded, brought her in close, and kissed her.
It wouldn't seem like the best kiss, a short guy kissing a taller girl. But Raven felt it all the way down to her spine, and she felt like she was melting in her shoes, which pretty much caused her to feel shorter. Her feeling shorter caused Beastboy to have to hold her up, causing him to feel stronger and… well, taller.
The whole time they were figuring this out, their kiss improved every second. Both of them loved it, but Raven broke away before either of them was completely satisfied.
"I'm sorry," she whispered. "But I… I don't know if I can do this." As she said this, her mind traveled back to Azerath and Quashill. They didn't love me, she couldn't help but think. I was alone. But am I still alone?
He knew why she was doing this. He could have mentioned it. He probably should have. But something stopped him. He didn't want anything to break loose between them in that moment. Instead, he gave her a protective hug and said softly, "Don't worry, Raven. I swear I love you more than anything I've ever felt before. This is different. You're safe with me, Rae, I promise." He knew he was begging, but he wanted this moment to last.
She squeezed him tight and said softly, "You're right. I feel the same way." Then she let go and looked at him. Somewhere from deep inside of her, she said, strongly and happily, "Thank you, Beastboy. I really mean it."
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Cyborg, Raven, and Beastboy were all on the ground, trying their hardest to sit up and chant Robin on. Cyborg and Beastboy had managed to wrestle themselves up into a sitting position fairly well, but Raven couldn't live without her powers for too long, so her head was wresting gently in Beastboy's lap.
Robin had weakened Philip greatly, but every second he saw of poor Starfire made him weaker, as well. They were about half and half, but Robin knew that that wasn't good enough. He had to win, or the Titans would be no more.
Philip fought him hard, and eventually he had Robin on the ground. Robin was only thinking of resting there for a short moment, but then Philip muttered a few words, walked into the mansion with Starfire, and sat down on a chair. The Titans' powers had created an invincible wall around the mansion… what could Robin do now?
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
"Please, Philip," Starfire begged. Some of her strength was becoming restored. "Please, I know that there is some good in you. You must listen to me."
"There isn't any good in me," Philip bragged. "Now, listen to me, Starfire. You can either surrender and be my mate for the rest of your life – in which case your friends will be given their powers back and freed – or you can keep fighting – in which case your friends will probably die."
She sighed. She didn't know what to do. She would never be his mate, but she would rather be sad herself than have her friends suffer. Finally, for everyone outside to see as well, she looked up at him and whispered, "Fine, I shall be your mate."
He smiled, held out his sword, and gave her enough energy to stand. "Good," he said with a grin. "Now kiss me. And I will know if you are telling the truth."
She nodded, walked up to him, and kissed him. It was longer and more involved than their first kiss, and she tried hard to make him feel absorbed in it. Just when Robin was on the verge of blowing the whole mansion up just to get back at Philip, she slowly reached for his sword, still kissing him. She grabbed his hand holding the sword and wrapped it around her neck. Then she gently took it.
He didn't even notice.
She smiled, feeling her powers fall into her body once more. Before she knew it, she had the other Titans' powers, as well. Her eyes turned bright green, her starbolts started to glow on her hands. A sonic blaster appeared to levitate beside her, and she grew fangs on her face. She became surrounded by black light…
And, before the others could believe it, the mansion exploded from the power.
Their power.
Thanks to Starfire, Philip was dead. Thanks to Robin (who got the sword back from Philip after Star dropped it in astonishment), their powers were restored. Thanks to Cyborg (who cleared up every loose ash in the area), no one was going to realize anything was missing.
And thanks to Beastboy…
Well, Terra was back.
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
ME I know, I know, I am a completely evil cliffhanger-loving, reviewer-abusing author. But hey, I made Beastboy and Raven kiss, I made Starfire do the biggest prank of her day on Philip, and I made the guy die…
Even if I did sort of make things not so good by bringing Terra back, again, to the Titans. But hey, we need to clear up the Terra thing sometime, and sometime soon. At least I didn't bring back Slade. Yet.
Anyway, this was, without a doubt, my longest chapter yet. But I am anxious to see it on the Web and see what my reviewers think! However, don't expect the next chapters to come so easily. Because they'll take so long anyway, now I refuse to post anything without at least six or seven reviews on this chapter! Ha! I am an evil person, I know it. But really, it's not that hard, you guys. You click the blue button. I know I have at least six or seven reviewers!
Here are my responses:
Solodancer789: Yeah, I know it was totally fast. But I really, really wanted to get that chapter on the Net, you know? Just like this. Thanks for reviewing! Come in with disses if you want – oh wait, you can't! Ha! That's because Philip is finally dead! Yay! Also, isn't beautimous a great word?
Meangenius: I know you hate me for the cliffhangers, but if you don't see those two reviews together, it looks like you just plain hate me. That's kind of mean, don't you think? And hah, you can't feed them to Philip, because he is DEAD! I killed him! Yay for me! Thanks for reviewing!
Warprince2000: Thanks!
I know some of you reviewed for different chapters and more than once and stuff like that, but why make this chapter even longer? Anyway, here's a preview for the next chapter, called "Get Out, Right Now":
"Terra betrayed us all, Beastboy," Raven said fiercely. "How can you still love her?"
Don't judge this before you read, guys! I promise the next chapter WILL NOT have ANY fluff between Beastboy and Terra. Or, at least, it might have some Terra loving him, but… um, I am going to move on now, okay? Okay.
Remember, the next chapter has a song in it that fits perfectly (I bet you can't guess the song, LOL!), so be sure to read and review it when I post it! Read and review this one for that on!
Luv ya all even though this story is drawing to an end (read my sequel when I start it!),
Kweenie
