Ok I know I haven't updated for a while. Well lets just say there was a party. A party that I'm still very ,very , very tired from. Well here is Chap 7.
Disclaimer: I don't own the Teen Titans. But apple cider is good. Oh, yes it's good. You can get sugar drunk from apple cider. How do I know this? Well I found out the hard way. Ow!!!!!!!!
From within the shadows of my heart
Lies a part
That will forever be in the dark
You took my soul and broke it into two
And now it is my turn to say unto you:
I have changed
There is no doubt
But this loneliness
Will forever float about
What you said hurt me that day
Much to my dismay
You were my love
And I your light from above
But you've turned my light out
Now there is a shadow on my heart
It was once your part
I shall now forever cry
But I will love you until the day I die
Chapter 7: To the Death
Flashback Chapter 6:
She felt a pain on the side of her neck. She reached and pulled out a dart out of her neck. She looked at her right and there stood a man with a dart gun.
"Night, night." the man said. Everything started to go fuzzy and the world spun. She looked down at Nightwing before blacking out herself.
End Flashback:
Her head pounded. Everything was blurry. Figures. That's what she could see. Figures. Did she know them? Her neck hurt. Why? Everything became clear. Twilight moaned. She sat up. Four faces looked down at her. The Titans.
" What happened?" she asked.
" You were knocked out by dart gun." Cyborg answered.
" Oh yeah. I remember. Oh my God! Nightwing. Where's--"
"I'm here. I'm right here." Nightwing said he sat next to her and took her hand.
" Good. What's going on? Where are we?" Twilight asked.
" We're in Crytpicus layer." Raven answered.
Twilight looked around. They were inside a metal cage. They were inside a stone cavern. It was under ground. It was lit by torches. They were on the ground but above them was a stone balcony, like a second floor, that you could see clearly from the first. On the balcony stood a stone arch way with inscriptions on it. Around it was machinery that had obviously been put there recently. On the ground level, where they were, stood a doorway where they had probably been brought in. It was plain except for some torch poles that stood along the walls. There were also some crates which the machinery had probably been brought in with. By the doorway and the stairs stood guards. And the metal cage stood in the middle of the first level. Twilight looked around the cage. There was no Daredevil.
" Where's Daredevil?" she asked. The others all looked down sadly. Avoiding her eyes. All was quiet for a few minutes. " Well?"
Cyborg looked up at her. " Listen. When we were fighting Daredevil and Jacobs had gone off into the woods to fight. At one point we think Daredevil was stabbed and he fell off the cliff. He's……he's dead Twilight. I'm sorry."
Twilight looked down. She cared for Daredevil. She held back her tears though. " And Jacobs?" Cyborg nodded to the balcony. Jacobs stood at a machine pushing some buttons. Twilight clenched her fists.
" Ah, Twilight you're awake. Now we can begin." said Crytpicus walking into the room and towards the cage.
" Crytpicus!" Twilight yelled with force.
" Now Twilight don't be filled with so much anger my dear. "Crytpicus smiled.
" What are you doing?" Raven asked.
" Well since you're not going to live anyways. I'll tell you. As you all probably know several years ago I tried to reverse the effects of time. I failed. And my collogues and the world turned they're back on me. I was an outcast! And when I tried to get revenge I was stopped and sent to jail!!!! But now, now I assure you that everyone will be sorry. I've found the key to time itself. With The Eye of Iris I control everything. I can change history and change the future. This is an ancient temple in which the last piece that I will need to use for the circle lies. The ruby eye itself. With the Eye I will go back in time and change what has happened. I will rule Earth and everyone will bow down to my great power. And the Titans along with all other superheroes will die. With no one to protect them people will fall in line. And once again everyone will love me. I'll make them!!!!!! And then they'll all see that Dr. Crytpicus isn't crazy!!!!!!!!!!!"
" Yeah because what you're doing isn't crazy at all." Nightwing said sarcastically.
" You will hold you're tongue! Momentarily my robots will find the ruby and when they do I will initiate it's power. The arch way will open a portal and I will go through. When I get to my destination I will make sure that my plan of putting my formula into New York Cities water supply goes through. And then with future technology I will take my robots and one piece at a time take control of the Earth. No country one Earth will be able to stop me for they'll find that their weapons such as guns have disappeared because I'll make it so that they had never existed. I will be the only one who will have bombs and nuclear weapons. All will lose easily." Crytpicus said with a sinister voice.
" You won't get away with this!" Twilight yelled.
" I can and I will." Crypticus laughed.
" And what is our part in this?" Cyborg asked.
" You all will be the first superheroes to die at my hands. You will be an example to all others. They will know because of you not to fight back or else they will face the same fate." Crytpicus said evilly looking at them. Nightwing's grip tightened on Twilight's hand. He wasn't going to lose her. Twilight looked at Nightwing and gave him a squeeze back. She wasn't going to let anything happen to him either.
" And Jacobs?" Beastboy asked.
" Well," said Jacobs jumping from the balcony and landing on the first level, " I get the good old US here. Along with a guarantee of weapons."
" We have found the ruby Dr. Crytpicus." a guard said taking the ruby from a robot. Crytpicus tuned away from the prisoners and hurriedly walked over to the guard. He took the ruby out of the guards hand. He looked at it and smiled.
" Yes." he whispered. Then he ran up the stairs to the balcony. Jacobs followed.
" Is it the ruby Dr.?" Jacobs asked.
" Yes it is. Begin the process of putting the circle together." Crytpicus yelled. Jacobs nodded. He walked up to a machine and turned it on. Inside was 4 gold pieces. They started to move together.
" We can't just let him get away with this!" Cyborg whispered.
" He's right. Raven can you get us out of here?" Beastboy asked.
" I think I can." Raven said .She stood. The others stood back. Raven's eyes went black and the cage started shaking. The guards noticed what she was doing and ran towards the cage. They were stopped as they ran by a black light. It surrounded them and threw them against a wall. Raven was now shaking too. Apparently the cage was hard to open and Raven was still a little weak from the car accident. She let out a yell as all walls of the cage broke apart and landed on the ground. Jacobs and Crytpicus looked down at the now free superheroes.
" Robots get them!!!!!!!!" Crytpicus yelled. As he said that robots filled the room. There were about 200 of them!
" Titans go!" Nightwing yelled. Twilight knew he meant her too. They all spit up, each one taking sections of robots. As they did this above the circle was coming together.
Cyborg blasted as many as he could. They kept coming. These robots were stronger than the others. They had stronger alloy and were better fighters. Cyborg blasted 15 of them but as soon as they were gone others filled there place. He was being overrun. He kept firing and kicking and punching. It didn't work there were too many. One jumped on his back and opened it. They hacked into his systems. Cyborgs legs and arms stopped working as her was dragged to a wall ,and with metal restraints, held there.
Meanwhile Raven fought. Using her powers she knocked Robots out of her way. She also exploded large groups at a time. She was weak though. The car accident had left her hurt. She already had a broken arm and probably a few broken ribs. Fighting these robots wasn't easy. She was cut again and again on the arms by the robots. She tried using her force field but couldn't. One grabbed hold of her arm and twisted it. She let out a yell of pain. Her eyes let up pure red and her power overlapped her. She let out another yell as a huge black bubble engulfed her and the robots she was fighting. The robots were disabled and Raven fell to her knees. She looked over at Beastboy. To her horror he was lying on the ground …….not moving.
Beastboy had been changing into all different types of animals. With each large mammal he turned into he rammed and wiped his tail at the robots. He knocked several out at a time. But it wasn't enough. He was hurt from the accident and had an unknown concussion. He grew tired and the room spun. He turned into a huge dinosaur and hit the robots knocking about 50 of them. He changed back to his normal form. He thought he had been done but he didn't notice the one robot behind him. He felt a burning on the side of his head. He hit the ground. He had been shot. He looked at Raven. She saw him on the ground. She ran towards him and knocked out the robot that had shot him. She reached down. Beastboy wasn't breathing too well.
" Beastboy! No!" she yelled.
" I love you." he whispered. Then his eyes closed. Raven turned him over and tried to heal him, but it was too late. She couldn't heal the dead. His blood was all over her. She held Beastboy's limp body in her arms. Tears fell onto his face. Then she was grabbed from behind and thrown up against the wall next to Cyborg.
" What happened?" Cyborg asked.
" He's dead." Raven whimpered.
" Beastboy no." Cyborg whispered in shock.
Nightwing fought with his bo-staff. He had knocked out about 75 of them. When he looked up. The circle was now complete. And Crytpicus was putting the ruby in. Light filled the cavern. And the portal opened up. Jacobs stood controlling the machine.
" Goodbye Titans. See you in the past. Jacobs guard this until it closes it should be 5 minutes." Crytpicus said as he walked in and waved.
" We're too late." Nightwing whispered to himself. All of a sudden he was pulled back and slammed against the wall. Metal cuffs held his feet and arms to the wall. A metal bar covered his mouth.
" We've won. You're too late." Jacobs said as he turned towards them while standing on the balcony. What Jacobs didn't notice was Twilight had made it up on the balcony.
She had fought the robots using her guns. When she had run out of bullets she had taken out her knives and started fighting with her daggers. She had won with the robots but was left a bit weak and she had cuts all over her. She had made her way up on the balcony just as Crypticus had gone in. She knew she was too late but saw her friends in restraints up against the wall. She had made her way of to the machines and was looking for a switch button.
" Now where was Twilight gone, huh?" Jacobs asked evilly. Twilight found the switches and pulled one. It unlocked Nightwings feet. Jacobs noticed this. " Oh, wait there she is." he turned and threw a dagger at her. She ducked and it hit the screen.
" Now that was sneaky and rude Twilight!" Jacobs yelled. He pulled out two daggers and stepped forward. " Now I would lock you up too, but I think I'd rather just kill you."
" To the death." Jacobs said.
" I'll meet you in hell." Twilight said taking out her daggers. The Titans were forced helplessly to watch as the two began their battle. They could see everything happening on the balcony clearly.
The two stepped forward. They held their daggers up in fighting position. Then they flew at each other. The daggers hitting each other echoed throughout the carven. Jacobs flew a dagger at Twilight but she ducked. She went to go kick him but he flipped back to miss getting hit. She went to stab him but he blocked her by putting his daggers up to hit hers. Meanwhile Nightwing tried pushing up his knee to his utility belt so that he could get his laser loose but was having no luck. Twilight hit Jacobs in the jaw and cut his arm before he pushed her back. Twilight threw a dagger at him but he dogged it and it hit the wall. He came towards her and sliced her arm so that a piece of her outfit would come off. She retaliated by kicking him into the wall. She came forward grabbed the dagger and flipped off the wall. And as quick as lighting she stabbed him in the shoulder. He let out a yelp of pain as she pulled it out. He slid to the ground and looked up at her. He stood. They started to fight again. The Titans looked up……..the fight was in Jacobs favor. They fought but Twilight was still weak from the walk up the mountain and the fight with the robots. She was lacking the ability to fight. She winced as she was cut again and again. She was going to lose. She let up a small yelp as he sliced her stomach. Nightwing looked up as Twilight stumbled backwards and hurried to get his laser.
Jacobs stepped forward. Twilight clutched her stomach as she attempted to fight but couldn't. Jacobs kicked her right hand and she dropped her dagger. She still had one in her left hand and as he went to kick her left hand she sent it straight threw his gut. It didn't stop him. He took the dagger out and smiled. Her kicked in the stomach and sent her flying into the machines. She spit out blood, her teeth were soaked with it. Sparks flew as she hit the machinery and broke it. The Titans watched in horror as Jacobs approached. Twilight crawled on her knees. Her suit was ripped in all places and she had lost a lot of blood. Jacobs stepped to her and she waved her hands to try to stop him as he reached for her neck but it didn't work. He grabbed her neck and raised her. She gasped as his grip tightened.
" You were always so beautiful. It's really a pity." Jacobs said as he held her dagger she had stabbed him with. He raised her so that her back faced the Titans.
" Twilight no!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Nightwing screamed. Jacobs droved the dagger right threw the middle of her chest and it came out her back. Twilight's eyes went wide and she gritted her teeth. She let out a gasp as he drew the sword from her. She fell from the balcony and landed in the crates on the first floor. As she landed the Titans could hear bones breaking. "Come on, come on!" Nighwing yelled. He finally reached his laser and it shot through his arm restraints. He fell to the floor. He got up and ran to where Twilight had landed.
He pulled off the crates that had been on her . He pulled her out onto floor. There was blood everywhere and all of it was hers. Nightwing looked at her. It was horrible. Her suit was torn and ragged. She had cuts all down her arms and legs. Her stomach was sliced. Her head was bleeding, probably from when she hit the machinery. Her teeth where drenched in blood. Her ribs her probably broken along with her arm. And last of all there was a huge hole in her chest. She was breathing heavily and slowly.
" Oh my god. Twilight can you hear me?" Nightwing asked frantically.
Twilight's eyes open a bit and she took in a deep breath. " Hey."
"Hey." Nightwing whispered. His eyes were now filling with tears. She reached up and wiped them off. Tears also filled her eyes.
" I'm going to die." she whispered.
" No, you can't. I'll get you to a doctor and you'll be fine." he started picking her up but she stopped him.
She shook her head. " No you can't. It's ok…..I'm ok it doesn't even hurt anymore. Did - (gasp for breath)- I ever thank-you for saving me on your motorcycle? Well thanks."
He smiled sadly, " Anytime."
She took his hand. " We-(gasp for breath)- used to be best friends what happened? That's the only thing I regret. I regret not telling you I loved you sooner."
" Twilight no! Please don't leave me! Please! You can't- No! Twilight I love you. Please don't leave me! Stay!" Nightwing said desperately holding her hand tighter. Tears ran down Twilights face.
" I love you." Were Twilight's last words before she closed her eyes. Her hand fell from Nightwings.
"No! Oh, baby no! No!" Nightwing cried as he cradled her in his arms. He rocked back and forth. Tears fell from his face unto hers. He kissed her forehead. Raven and Cyborg watched with tears streaming down their faces. They had lost Daredevil, Beastboy, and now Twilight. What they didn't notice was Jacobs who was barely alive had dragged himself down the stairs.
When he got to Nightwing he stood holding up a dagger. Raven and Cyborg tried to warn him but they were still gagged. Nightwing felt someone standing behind him. He turned. Jacobs lowered the dagger towards him but Nightwing didn't move. Jacobs was going to stab Nightwing when he stopped. Jacobs got a surprised look on his face and he dropped the dagger and fell down dead. And there behind him stood was………..Daredevil.
Daredevil fell on the ground holding his side and he crawled over to Nightwing.
" Nightwing there's only a couple of seconds until the portal closes. You have to go through and stop Crytpicus." Daredevil said desperately.
" No, it's too late." Nightwing whispered.
" Listen to me!," Daredevil took hold of Nightwings shoulders, " you can save us all. You can save Twilight. If you love her then you must go."
" How do you know I love---" Nightwing started.
" Because I looked at Elecktra the same way." Daredevil said smiling. " Now go!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Nightwing nodded. He laid Twilight's dead body on the ground. " I promise I'll come for you." he said to her. He stood and nodded at Daredvil who nodded back. Nightwing rushed up to the balcony. The portal was closing he jumped through and it closed behind him.

: In the past--2 years ago New York City:
Twilight sat by the window. She and Daredevil had been after Crytpicus for two days now. She was waiting in a warehouse by the harbor for Daredevil's signal. When he gave the signal they where to bring Crytpicus down. He was across from her in the Water Main building. From behind her a figure approached.
Crytpicus(the one from the future) had arrived through the portal in the other room. He had came into this one without her knowing. She was still 10 feet away, so she couldn't hear him. He took out a gun.
" Goodbye Twilight." He whispered. But before he could shoot someone gabbed him from behind and covered his mouth.
" I don't think so." a figure whispered into his ear. Cryticus was dragged back into the other room. The door closed.
Twilight heard a door closing. She turned. Everything looked the same. She shrugged it off and saw Daredevil's signal. She looked behind her once more. She had this really weird feeling. She felt something familiar but couldn't excaty put her finger on what it was. She forgot the feeling and jumped out the window.
Meanwhile in the other room Nightwing had stopped Crytpicus from killing the past Twilight. He dragged him into the other room and shut the door.
" You!!!!!How did you get here?" Crytpicus yelled.
" Through the portal now hand over the Eye." Nightwing demaned.
" I don't think I will. So I see you've killed Jacobs." Crytpicus said smiling. " I should thank-you because I was going to do it anyways."
" Whatever."
" So who else died? Hmmmmmmmmm was it……Twilight? Because if Twilight were alive, which I suspect she's not, she would've come here herself to kick my ass." Crytpicus said.
" Yeah you're right." Nightwing said coldly.
" Awwww I think someone was in love. Don't waste your time. The girl killed people. She isn't worth anyones time." Crytpicus said coldly.
" You son of a bitch!" Nightwing yelled as he lunged himself at Crytpicus. Crytpicus ducked and Nightwing hit the wall.
" So tell me Nightwing. How did the little bitch die? I assume Jacobs killed her." Crypticus asked.
" You're trying to get me angry!" Nightwing yelled.
" Is it working?" Crytpicus asked.
" Yeah."
" Good. And I suppose that you would use the Eye to save her then?'
" That's the plan." Nightwing answered
" Well you're not going to get the chance! I'll be damned if you take my lives work away from me!!!!!!!" Crytpicus took out his sword and charged Nightwing.
Nightwing dogged his charge. And broke his sword with his bo-staff. Crytpicus took out a gun and fired it. Nightwing dogged all shots and kicked Crytpicus into a wall. Crytpicus let out a yelp for he had been driven into a piece of metal that had been sticking out. Crytpicus pulled himself from it and slid to the ground . Nightwing went over and took the Eye Crytpicus had in his pocket. He activated it and it opened a portal. Nightwing turned to see a Crytpicus lift a gun. With his last shot Crytpicus shot Nightwing in the left shoulder. Nightwing tumbled back into the portal but turned just in time to see Crytpicus drop the gun. He was dead.

: Back in the present -- Underground Cavern in Jump City:
Nightwing stepped through the portal. He was back to the cavren. He looked to his left and saw a cage. It still held all five of them. He was back to before Crytpicus entered the portal. Raven was in the middle of exploding the cage. Nightwing was no longer in the cage with them instead he was in the middle of the first level. Time seemed frozen. Then the people started to move.
He saw the Eye. It was coming together. Then time unfroze. Raven let out a scream as the cage broke a part.
" Dude where's Nightwing?" Cyborg asked.
" I'm right here." Nightwing answered. The others turned and saw a portal closing behind him.
" What the hell?" Crytpicus yelled from the balcony.
" Catch this!" Nightwing yelled taking out a small dagger. He threw it. It hit the ruby.
" NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Crytpicus screamed. A bright light filled the room. It burned Jacobs and Crytpicus both, killing them. The light had only blinded the others though. Then rocks started to fall. The cavren was caving in on itself.
" We have to get out of here." Beastboy yelled. The others nodded. Nightwing felt lightheaded. Then he remembered his shoulder that had been shot. He had lost a lot of blood.
" Nightwing!" Raven yelled. He tumbled towards the ground. He felt someone picking him up and himself being carried out of the cavren. He was put on the cold ground. They were outside. They were alive.
" Daredevil he's in the forest on his way here." Nightwing whispered.
" Nightwing what happened?" Cyborg asked.
" Twilight is she okay?" Nightwing asked.
" I'm right here." Twilight said. Nightwing smiled and closed his eyes.
The last thing he heard was Twilight saying his name. " Nightwing?" then he lost consciousness.

: Two Days Later:
The door opened to the hostipal room. Kori (Twilight) made her way over to Nightwings bed. He had gotten out of surgery 15 hours ago but it was only now that he was allowed to have visitors. He was sleeping but was supposed to wake up soon. Daredevil or Matt had been found and had been sent back to New York for medical care. Kori sat down by his bed. She was leaving today. She was going back to New York. Back to her home.
She held his hand in hers. " Hey. I don't know if you can hear me or not, but I'll talk anyways. I'm leaving today. I'm going back to New York. I know I should stay here but I can't. I've been gone too long. New York is my home and I'm feeling a sickness for it. The others don't want me to go, but I have too. We shared that kiss and I loved it. But we can never be together. We almost died. You almost died because of me. I'm not going to let that happen again. My ememy found out about you and you almost died. I'm not going to let that happen. This is so hard for me, to leave you. I got to go because my plane will be taking off soon." She let go of his hand and started for the door but then turned around and came back to him.
She reached his bed. She put her lips to meet his and kissed him softly. " I love you." then she walked out of the room. In the hallway she met the other Titans.
" Hey." Cyborg said.
" Hey." she said back.
" Now I know you're not leaving here without giving me a hug." he said sternly. She smiled and gave him one.
" You always looked out for me like I was your sister." she said softly so that only he could hear.
" That's because you are." he whispered back. She pulled back and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
" Hey man!!!!!" Beastboy yelled. " Don't forget me!!!" Twilight turned and gave him a hug too.
" I'll miss you Beastboy." she said.
" And I'll miss you too. But I've got to say you have some bad ass moves in battle."
Kori laughed. " Thanks …..I think."
Finally she turned to Raven. " Are you sure you want to do this?" Raven asked.
" Yeah I have too." answered Kori.
" Okay. He'll follow don't worry." Raven smiled. She knew what Kori was doing.
" Thanks. This time I'll call more often. I promise." Kori said. She hugged Raven and Raven hugged back. They walked her out her taxi. Kori smiled and waved as she hopped in. The others smiled back. Beastboy wrapped his hands around Raven and Raven just smiled. The taxi pulled out into the street.
" Where too?" the driver asked. Kori looked his little sign said Rob.
" New York City." Kori replied.
" New York City here we come. Are you okay?" Rob asked.
Kori looked out the back window. The hospital was fading. " Yeah I think I will be." Rob just nodded. The taxi pulled onto the freeway heading towards New York City.

I wonder if anyone can answer this question:
Is Alexis from 50 FIRST DATES a man or a woman. Cause I have no idea. I know that's a really gay question but I can't figure it out.
