Chapter 9: Calling All Titans
Flashback Chapter 8:
Kori stepped back from him and her fingers moved up and down as if to say gooodbye.Tears ran down her face as she mouthed the words, " I love you Robin." Then there was a black cloud of smoke. The force feild was gone and Robin fell to the ground. When it cleared Kori and Slade were gone. They all stepped forward. Beastboy put a hand on Robin's shoulder. And Raven held a sleeping Jade in her arms. Robin shook off Beastboy's hand.
" This isn't over we're going to find her. And when we do I'll kill Slade and this time he's not going to survive."

They all sat in the living room of Bruce's mansion. They were all in shock. The events of the night had taken place so fast . Raven stepped into the room. After checking to see if all was well with Jade, and it was, she went to put her back into her bed. She hadn't awoken yet but would in the morning.
After Slade and Kori disappeared they had gone back to the manison. Robin was silent the whole time. After making sure his daughter was fine he just went and sat. Just thinking of happier times.......
: Flashback 4 years ago:
They had just gotten back from a city ball in which the Titans had been invited. They had all dressed so nice and had a great time. But it was now late. 1:30am to be exact and all of them were tired. The others went to bed and Robin walked Starfire to her room. He looked at her she was so beautiful! She was still wearing her gown.It covered her feet. It was red and silky. It had a v-neck that showed some cleveage and she was wearing a dimond necklace that went perfectly with the v-neck. Her hair was done up in a losse bun and had some curly strands hanging down from it. They stopped at her door.
" Well I had a nice time tonight friend Robin. Thank-you for dancing with me." She said as she bid him goodnight.
" Wait! Star." Robin said. She turned. " I know it's your birthday tommrow and I'm supposed to wait for the others to give you your gift. But I want to give it to you now. Come on." He held out his hand and she took it.
He led her out onto the roof . In the middle of it was something covered by a white sheet. He made her close her eyes. And she did laughing. He uncovered the object.
Then he whispered into her ear. " You can open them."
She took her hands from her eyes.And smiled one of her best smiles . " Robin it is beautiful! What is it?"
He laughed. "It's a telescope. You look at the stars with it. But with this you're able to see them very close up." He led her over to it and showed her how to use it. Then he pointed it at the moon. She looked through it.
She gasphed. " There is no man on the moon." He laughed. They spent a whole hour looking at different things. Then after a while they sat down and contiuned to look. When Robin looked down at Starfire she was fast asleep in his arms. He picked her up and carried her down staris.
He laid her on her bed and pulled up the covers. She was so peaceful. He bent down and kissed her forehead. She stirred. For a second Robin thought he might be caught. But then she turned away from him mumbling in her sleep, "Get away from my mustard. It has done nothing wrong to you! Please take me!" He smiled and left the room.
:End Flashback:
Robin was pulled out of his memories by Raven.
" So what's the plan?" she asked.
" To get her back." answered Robin.
" But how?" Asked Beastboy. " I mean no offense, but we don't know where she is."
" Actually we do." Bruce now stepped into the room.
" How?" asked Cyborg.
" Kori isn't stupid. Of course she would have a way for us to find her." Bruce held up a Titan communcatior. " Cyborg if you'd please."
Cyborg's frown turned into a smile. He knew what Bruce meant! He looked down on his arm and smiled. " My sensors here say that Starfire's commiuncatior has been turned on and the tracking device set off."
Robin raised his head. " Then that means-"
" Starfire is leading us to where she is." Cyborg finished.
Raven stood. " Then we should go now before it's too late." The others nodded in agreement and they head towards the Bat Cave.
When they got there the others quickly got into the Bat car. Bruce still had on his Batman suit and was also heading towards the car, but he was stopped by a hand on his shoulder.
" Bruce I need you to do me a favor." Bruce turned to face Robin.
" Anything."
" I need you to stay here. I know you care about Kori like a daughter but I need you to stay with Jade. This is my fight. If anything were to happen to me and Kori both, Jade wouldn't have any family. She would need you to be there and raise her. I'm asking you to do that for me just in case. I need you to stay here so no matter what she'll have someone who loves her."
" I understand Robin. And if it is your wish I'll stay. Just promise me you'll come back with Kori and I would've stayed here for no reason at all. Be careful." Bruce said as he hugged Robin. " Now I have a surprise for you." Bruce pointed to the R-cycle which Robin hadn't noticed.
" I figure you have to save her in style." He tossed Robin the keys. Robin nodded thanks and got on.
" Titans Go!" he yelled then they were gone.

Dream:
Her and Robin danced for hours on end.
" I missed you so much." She whispered.
" I missed you too." He smiled and they continued dancing. Then Kori dropped her engagement ring. Robin bent down and picked it up.
" Now can't be losing this can we." He smiled and stood back up. Then all of a sudden his smile turned into a frown. He looked down.
"Robin what's wrong?" Kori asked then she looked down to where he was looking. A sword was right through his gut. Then the sowrd was pulled out. Blood started staining his white tux shirt. The blood grew and grew as though the blood was being soaked up into the shirt. He stepped back from her, like he was being pulled. His eyes were big and he was gasping for air. His hand was reaching out to Kori's.
"Robin!" she screamed as she tried to get his hand, but could only touch the tips. Then he fell and disappeared. She screamed. Then she looked up. There stood Slade laughing deeply.
:End Dream:
Kori woke with a start. Everything was a bit blurry and she couldn't move her hands or legs. She struggled to get free. She looked around. She was standing on a plateform . Her arms were raised and chained by the wrists to a long pole. He feet were together and were chained to the bottom of the plateform. Then she saw Slade.
He walked up towards her causually and said, " Time to get up my dear."
" Kiss my ass!" was Kori's backlash.
" Now, now I think you should watch your mouth because you're likely to get punished." He smiled then rolled his fist into a ball and hit her jaw. Kori didn't yell although it hurt instead turned back to him and looked stright into his eyes.
She spit out some blood but there was still some left on her teeth. " That's all you got?"
" No. But you get the horriflying pain later when I drain all your power to make me stronger. It will be just a few minutes. The moon isn't in position yet."
" You won't get away with this."
" Actually," said Slade in a bitter way, "I will. You survived the last battle with me and got to lead a good life with a loving daughter and I surived too. But did I was too weak to do anything! I had to have helpers get me dressed and even take me to the bathroom! Do you have any idea what is is like knowing that you won but couldn't take over the city that you deserved?!!!! I do and now my dear it's my turn to live!!!"
" The moon is ready for the ceremony. And I will know begin chanting to the Tameran Gods. Your time is up." He laughed then took out a knife and held it to Kori's chest. He sliced it and blood poured down into a bowl he had. He took the bowl away. " Now to bleed you as an offering to the Gods." Kori looked down what she hadn't noiced before is that the plateform had holes which led down into a huge circle that had deep carvings in it.
Kori knew what it was for. It was the sign of the Tameran Gods. In ancient Tameran people used to bleed others to please the Gods and summon the God E'rankna(the most powerful God). Once the deep carvings were full with the blood of the royal person being sacfriced E'rankna would come forward and a person could perform a spell asking E'rankna a favor. And then and only then would the magic of anicent Gods be used. Of course Tamerans only used this process in a time of great peril. But now it was happening to her!
Slade continued cutting her. He cut her from shoulder to wrist on both arms. Then he cut her stomach. And then ripped her pants and cut her legs. Even her finger tips had been cut. Now huge amounts of Kori's blood drained into the carvings. Slade stopped cutiing. He needed her to be alive when he asked E'rankna for her life source. Kori was very light headed now and was breathing heavily. The pain was intense.
Slade stood on the plateform and put his hands to the sky. Then he wiped her blood that had been in the bowl on his face. Then he chanted," Jumna sderknia ohbeyman peruistkinan. I call forwth E'rankna!" He stoped and went back over to Kori.
" Now it shall be only a matter of minutes until E'rankna arrives and I perform the final part of the ceremony."
" Wipe that smile off your face Slade cause you won't be getting the chance." Kori spat at him angrily.
" We'll--" Slade was cut off by a blue blast hitting his back . Slade turned.
And there stood the other four Titans in fighting position.
Robin had an evil look on his face as he looked at Slade and said, "Titan's Go!"

Well there's the cliffhanger. I am so SORRY for any mis-spelled words.There's something wrong with my computer right now so it's not doing Spell check. Ok I know I went a little mystical in this Chap but hey that's how it goes. I also like to do flashbacks and dreams a lot too. Haven't you noticed? I hoped you liked the Chap and if you did then review I always need the support. And please no Flames. I'm on winter break now so I should be finishing up this story in like the time period of three weeks. So stayed tuned. Have a great day or evening or whatever. See ya.
