Chapter 3: Revival
The Titans and J.T. walked into the cavern where Terra stood petrified. J.T. walked up to Terra and wondered.
"I knew we would meet again, but I didn't think it'd be like this," J.T. stated.
"Dude, you know her?" Beast Boy asked purely out of curiosity.
"Yes," J.T. replied. "I told you about the man who killed five of the seven elemental soulkeepers, right?" The Titans all nodded. "Well the two who escaped were controllers of fire and earth. Obviously I was the fire controller, but Terra was the earth controller."
"You, you're lying! Terra would've told me about that," Beast Boy yelled.
"I'm afraid she wouldn't. She was quite young when the village was destroyed and we made our narrow escape," J.T. informed the changeling.
"Liar! She would have told me!"
"She may have known about it, but she might've forgotten about it."
"YOU F$#&G LIE! TERRA EVEN SAID SHE TOLD ME EVERYTHING ABOUT HER!"
"LISTEN YOU VEGETABLE, IT MAY BE A REPRESSED MEMORY! SO SHUT UP AND LISTEN!"
"NO! WHY SHOULD I LISTEN TO A LIAR LIKE YOU, S#$HEAD?!"
"BECAUSE I WAS F#&$G THERE! THAT'S WHY, C&KFACE!"
"Hey! Break it up, both of you," Robin interjected. Beast Boy looked like he was going to transform into something and attack J.T., but he turned his back and walked out.
"Humph, now that 'Mr. Thinks-He-Knows-Everything' is gone, maybe I can get something accomplished," J.T. hissed.
"What is it you are planning to do?" Starfire queried.
"Revive Terra."
The Titans' jaws hit the ground with shock as J.T. unveiled his grand plan.
"Relax, she's not dead. She never was."
"What the hell are you saying?! She's a statue," Cyborg exclaimed.
"Terra's powers are based with earth, remember? She's not dead, because she's using the power of the earth to restore her body."
"How is she doing that," Raven pondered.
"The easiest way I can think of is that she's changing earth molecules to cells."
"Doesn't sound possible," Cyborg added.
"It's happening on a subatomic level. It takes a lot of work to change atoms of one thing to atoms of another. Normally, it takes around seven to ten years."
"So what are you planning to do?" Robin asked.
"Raven, remember that revival technique I used on you?"
"Yeah, why?" Raven responded.
"That's what I'm gonna do. Now please stand back. I need to channel the heat in the room."
"Well, okay," Robin retorted.
J.T. was setting up to do his Phoenix Revival ability when Beast Boy walked back into the cavern. Beast Boy stood fairly far back and watched J.T. in awe. J.T. began chanting something nobody could make out.
"PHOENIX REVIVAL!"
J.T.'s hair caught fire as he initiated the move. He and Terra both had a red/orange aura around their bodies, almost like they were fusing.
"Dammit, work! Why won't you work," J.T. fumed.
"Is it working?" Robin asked.
"I don't know! I think its taking effect, but not much of one! I need more heat!"
"This cavern is right under a magma stream! Perhaps if we were to get the magma flowing freely, we may be able to provide the J.T. with the heat he needs," Starfire suggested.
"It is a good idea, but it could start the volcano up again, Star," Cyborg replied.
"I can contain it," Raven stated.
"Sounds like as good an idea as any we're gonna get. Let's do it," Robin commanded.
The Titans tried desperately to break the surface of the hardened rock, but nothing worked. At least, not until Cyborg punched a hole in the rock with his sonic cannon. Magma started rushing up through the rock, and Raven used her powers to contain the magma.
"I think something's happening," J.T. shouted. "It looks like its working!"
The rocks around Terra shattered and a bruised and broken Terra fell to her chest, sans consciousness.
"Did it work?" Robin asked.
"Hoo…hah…yeah, it worked," J.T. replied, trying to catch his breath. "She needs medical attention, though. Let's get her back to the tower. Fast."
"You don't need to tell me twice," Beast Boy exclaimed. Beast boy transformed into a camel and J.T. climbedon, holding Terra by the waist.
