Chapter 6
Fight Time
Robin sits back on the couch, staring blankly past the camera for five minutes. Snapping back to reality, Robin leans forward.
"That was the fate of the Titans. Because I was not strong enough to stop Riker when he was back with the Fallen Angels, he has taken everything from me. My friends, my home, everything. It has been a week since Starfire's brutal death. I couldn't even bury her remains... her grave is a memorable one, next to the other Titans. I have trained hard for the past week in hope that I would get stronger to beat Riker. I've made this message to tell you what happened to us, the Teen Titans. If I should fall during my battle with Riker, I ask you, the Justice League to take him down, avenge my death and my friend's deaths."
Robin got up from the couch and turned the camera off. Taking out the disc from it, he put it into one of the working computers and sent the data off it to the Justice League. Cracking his knuckles, Robin picks up his staff and retracts it, putting it into his belt. Walking out of the destroyed tower, he stops at the graves of his fallen friends. Kneeling down, he bows his head in remembrance of them.
"I will take him down. I will avenge your deaths. I swear it." Robin said, getting to his feet.
"I see you are ready to fight." The familiar raspy voice said.
Robin turned to see Riker standing behind him.
"I will take you down. My friends will be avenged!" Robin snarled, his face twisting into an evil expression.
Riker laughed. "We'll see, boy. The battle begins now!"
Riker used his powers to transport the two to a different dimension. Robin looked around his new surroundings. It was a barren rocky wasteland; mountains of rocks were piled everywhere, most of them incredibly sharp. Robin looked around for Riker, but didn't see him anywhere. Robin walked around his surroundings, his senses on full alert. He jumped as he heard Riker's voice boom out across the rocky lands.
"What's the matter boy? Scared? Let me help you then!"
Robin turned in circles, looking for where the voice was coming from. He was suddenly hit from behind, a heavy punch landing on the back of his head which sent him flying forward into a pile of spiked rocks, the rocks cutting into his body. Riker was instantly upon him, grabbing Robin by his cape and flinging him over his head. Robin lands hard on his left arm, the bones giving away from the force of the impact with a loud crunch. Riker charges and brutally kicks Robin in the ribs, several of them breaking from the kick. Robin clutches his ribs and rolls away from Riker. Riker walks methodically towards Robin, an evil smile on his face.
"I'll bet that hurt a lot." Riker said. "But I think this will hurt a lot more."
Riker held out his hand, and engulfed it completely in a black flame. He points his arm at Robin and the flame shoots off his hand and hits Robin, covering his whole body. Pain races through Robin's body.
"See? Hurts a lot more then some broken ribs."
Riker suddenly cuts the flames off Robin's body and walks over to him.
"Come now, Robin. If you can't stand that much pain, how long do you think you will survive? Long enough, I suppose. Are you ready for round two?"
Riker grabs Robin by his hair and slams his head down on the ground. Hard. Picking the Boy Wonder up by what was left of his cape, Riker throws Robin across the rocky field. Robin hits the ground on his broken arm, pain shoots up through it. Robin begins to crawl away, his whole body in pain from the fire, his ribs broken along with his arm. He heard Riker slowly walking up behind him.
"Now where do you think you're going? I'm not done with you yet." Riker said.
Upon reaching Robin, Riker was surprised to see Robin move so fast with all his injuries. Robin spun around and hit Riker in the chest with all his remaining strength. Riker stumbled back a few steps, then regained his composure and laughed.
"Pathetic. You should have taken my advice and ran. Now, I am growing tired of you. I think it's time to end this."
Robin gets slowly to his feet and stare Riker right in the eyes.
"Y...yeah it is. Time for you to die..." Robin gasps out, his injuries making it hard to talk.
"Time for me to die? My dear boy, I think that all the pain has made you crazy!" Riker said laughing.
"D...don't think so...Riker." Robin says, pointing to Riker's chest.
Only then does Riker look down to where Robin had punched him. Attached to his chest armor, was a circular bomb with spider-like legs holding it to his armor. Riker's eyes grow wide with surprise.
"Spider Bomb, Riker. In a few minutes, it'll go off, spreading out small spider-like robots around your body. They will slowly enter your blood stream through your skin, and then eat their way out. Very...painful." Robin explains before passing out from the pain he was in.
Riker watched as Robin fell flat on his face, then proceeded to try to dislodge the bomb.
Riker ripped at the bomb, trying to get it off of his armor, with no success. Sighing, he reached for the latches on his armor, when the bomb began to talk with Robin's voice.
"Sorry Riker, this is the end for you. I know I said a few minutes, but I lied. You now have five...four...three...two...one..."
Riker's eyes widened in fear, as the bomb let off a small explosion, and thousands of little spiders spread out on his chest armor. The spiders went right for his face, going in through his mouth, nose and ears. Riker could feel them as they crawled down his body. Riker let out a terrified scream and tore his armor off, scratching his chest and arms profusely, as if it would somehow help. His eyes went wide with terror, as they began to eat their way out of his body. His arms were first, he watched in pain and horror as the little spiders ate their way out of them. The spiders sprouted out with the blood and continued eating until Riker's arms were nothing but stumps. As soon as his arms were gone, they started on his legs, then chest. Riker's screams of pain stopped there, dying with him in his throat. Though he was dead, the spiders still ate on, consuming the dead man's body.
Robin slowly regained consciousness, and watched as the Spider-bots finished off Riker's body. The world around him began to fade away, and suddenly he was free falling through the air. Robin tried to scream, but found his breath caught in his throat. The world suddenly reappeared, and Robin hit the ground hard. Dazed, Robin slowly and painfully gets to his feet. He was back at Titan's Tower. Robin stumbled towards the graves of his fallen friends, seeing they were still there. Robin falls to his knees clutching his broken arm.
"I've...I've done it. I have avenged you all..." Robin said, a tear falling from his eyes. "I made him pay for what he did..."
"Oh have you now?"
Robin spun around as fast as his broken ribs allowed him. Behind him stood Riker, holding a huge two-handed sword, which was pointed towards Robin's throat.
"No...y...you're dead! I watched the spider-bots kill you!" Robin wheezed, the broken ribs making it painful to talk.
"Or so you thought. It took quite a lot of my power to restore myself, and they are quite exhausted. So instead of killing you with my powers, which by now I doubt I could do, I shall finish you off with this." Riker said, moving the sword closer to Robin's throat.
Riker lifted the sword above his head, ready to swing down with all his strength. Robin moved out of the way quickly, one of his cracked ribs breaking under the strain with a loud crack. Robin let out a pained groan as he rolled away from Riker; the sword buried deep into the ground where Robin had been just moments before. Riker sighed, lifting the sword out of the ground with ease.
"You are just delaying the inevitable, Robin. But if this is the way you want it, I shall make your death slow and painful." Riker said walking towards Robin, the sword lifted above his head.
Robin reached into his utility belt quickly and grabbed some mini-bombs. Riker swung the sword down before he had a chance to throw them. The sword cut into his left arm, severing it near the shoulder. Robin howled in pain and clutched his stump, the bombs rolling away from him.
"See now Robin? You could have avoided all of this if you had just let me kill you quickly. But no. You had to make it difficult." Riker said as he lifted the heavy sword again. "I will prolong your death now. As I have used most of my powers, I can still do this."
Riker raised his right arm produced a small black flame. Riker stuck the sword deep into the ground and walked towards Robin, who had nearly passed out from the pain and loss of blood. Riker grabbed Robin's hand and threw it off the bloody stump. Riker touched his right hand to the stump and transferred the flame, cauterizing the wound instantly. Robin howled again with the new pain being added from the flame.
"Ah yes, cry out in pain more, Robin. It is music to my ears." Riker said, an evil sneer on his face. "Shall we continue?"
Riker walked back over to the sword and lifted it out of the ground. Before he could turn, something wrapped around his waist.
"I...I'm not done yet, Riker." Robin said.
Riker turned to see Robin standing, in his hand was his grappling hook. With every ounce of his fading strength, Robin pulled on the rope, causing Riker to fly forward towards Robin. Riker fell on his face and was dragged until he had reached Robin's feet. His face twisted into an angry expression from having been dragged along the ground, Riker jumped to his feet, only to find himself being hugged by Robin.
"If I go down, so do you, Riker." Robin said.
In his hand, Robin had a small zinothium bomb. The timer on it said 5...4...3...2...1...
Riker's eyes grew wide as he realized what was about to happen. Before he could do anything, the timer reached zero. The two figures were engulfed in a fiery explosion, which destroyed the Titan's graves as well as the tower, leaving the island nothing but a barren rock.
The dust soon settled and the wind picked up, blowing the dust around in a small tornado. Soon, the tornado was so full of dust; it was nearly possible to see through it. But something was moving inside it, slowly. As the wind died down, the dust tornado fell to the ground. Standing tall in the middle of what had been the tornado, was a man wearing all black armor, the only open part of his body was his uncovered head. Seemingly unfazed by what had just happened, Riker cracked his neck and knuckles and stared around at what had once been Titan's Island. Turning back towards Jump City, Riker smiled his evil smile.
"It is time for me to continue my revenge..." Riker said as slowly melted into the ground.
