Starfire concentrated on her bindings; she felt her eyes grow warm, and an emerald beam shot out of them, melting the rope in an instant. She sat up and rubbed her wrists, for they were a little soar. She jumped into the air and flew up the stairs. She got to the top and looked around, squinting at the lights, which seemed so much brighter then before. She looked around and started off when something hit her head, hard. Dazed she fell and before she knew it she was being picked up and hauled away. "You can't get away that easy." the person carrying her grunted.
White-hot anger filled Starfire. She punched the man carrying her, why surprised at this, let go. Star jumped to her feet. And attacked, with a sidekick to the stomach, then an ax kick to his head. (A/n, sorry if no one knows what that is, I'm in Karate, so I'm using the name they gave us for them.) Then, a quick round kick to the pelvic area… and her opponent was on the ground unconscious. Star sighed with relief. All those hours practicing with Robin had paid off.
She turned to walk away, and found herself surrounded by robed-and-cowled Wal-Mart Employees. "Our Sacrifice has spirit, good." The one who seemed to be the leader said. "All the better to appease Lowa."
"S-s-sacrifice?" Star inquired. Saying that word made her skin crawl. The leader just smirked at her, his ice blue eyes shining maliciously.
The employees began to chant an a blue and yellow light rose from them, frantically, Starfire blasted a random target, hoping it would cut off the connection and end the spell. And she was right. The green sunlight hit Brett Bretterson, Asst. Manager, and he fell moaning with pain before slipping into unconsciousness. "Brett! No!" the Manager yelled diving to catch his fallen comrade. Then he looked at the alien girl, fury and sadness in his eyes as they filled with tears. "He was like a son to me! How could you!?" He screeched.
"If you check his pulse, I'm sure you would find he is still breathing and…" Starfire began, her compassion overtaking her rage.
"SILENCE FIEND!" The Manager yelled. "I will enjoy plunging the atheme through your heart! Beep!" (Had to beep that last thing out, Do not wish to offend virgin ears. Plus for all who do not know, an atheme is a ritual double-edged knife. I know because I am Wiccan and has used one once or twice. No sacrifices! I am a White Magick Doer, the employees of Wal-Mart Use Black Magick.)
Starfire looked puzzled, I mean she was just trying to prevent herself from getting killed, and she didn't even kill the boy! She fumed silently. And it was way past time to leave. She shook her head and started to float off, when she realized she couldn't move! She grunted, struggling against the invisible bonds. "You can't get free my little Starling." The Manager laughed evilly, as he shouted more arcane words, she fond she was free of the bonds, but she was slipping into unconsciousness, as she fell, into a waiting Employee's arms.
Then quickly before the darkness fully closed in, she used her last amount of strength to take of her armband, and drop it on the floor. Silently she apologized to Robin for not being strong enough to hold them off. "Robin…" she moaned as she fell into infinity.

Robin looked up, knowing he had just heard his name be called. "Star?" he asked quietly. He looked around desperately. "Starfire?" he yelled, looking around frantically. There was no sign of the young alien girl. He sighed inwardly and went off to go meet his friends. "Anyone find her?" he asked them, and they all shook their heads.
Just then Fluffy trotted up, Star's armband in her mouth. "Look what I found!" she said smugly, as she dropped it at Robin's feet.
"Where did you find it?" he asked, a little too loudly, causing the check out counter people to glare at him.
"Over by the Melvin dolls." Fluffy replied clearly proud of herself. "Oh, excuse me, action figures."
"Melvin dolls?" asked Beast Boy, who then raised his eyebrow in a perfect imitation of Raven.
"Melvin, he is a geek with oversized glasses on Sailor Moon. Lupi loved that show as a pup, so naturally I know everything about it. Come On! I'll show you." Then the black and white cat sauntered off; leaving four very confused teen superhero's to follow her.

Mean while, the lifeless Brett Bretterson dreamed about that very morning, around 4 am…
" Brett walked down the hallway of the Employee Rooms in the Back. He reached the Managers Room. 'Mr. Furor?' he asked as he poked his head through the doorway. 'May I come in?'
'Yes, of course Brett.' The Manager said to his second in command. "Come in."
'Tell me sir, how will we perform today's sacrifice?" Brett asked as he sat in the chair in front of the Manager's desk of pine.
'Well, Lowa told me that our first customer will be the sacrifice. He said, the sacrifice will fall right into our Chamber, and will not be ordinary. Then, we will knock them out! And when they wake, we will stab the sacred atheme through her chest, cut out the still beating heart and feed it to Lowa's statue. Then, the real Lowa will rise from the depths!And his loyal followers shall be Kings! Kings!' He cackled madly.
'Yes.' Brett said awed about his great God's plan. 'Yes.'
'Now, Brett, you will watch the opening to the sacred Chamber, and report if the sacrifice comes. Can you handle that?' Mr. Furor asked kindly.
'Yes Sir! I will handle it sir!' He said as he got up, then went to perform his duty.' The sleeping Brett remembered, and sighed happily as he imagined the Sacrifice.
'The girl he had seen was tied to the stone altar, struggling crying as if she knew her life were about to end. He watched, delighted as the Manager raised the knife, and…'Brett snuggled into the chair he was sleeping in, and his eyes shot open. He looked at the Manager, who had woken him.
"It is Time." He whispered, and he and Brett walked down the steps, into the chamber.
