Here is the next chapter, but first, my review replies:

Slayergirl1362: You continue to amuse me with your threats and boasts. You can not imagine the raw power that I control. I am the very shadows themselves. Without darkness, light would not even be a word. I hope you take my warning.

CrAzY aUtHoR pErSoN: Thanks for the review.

Informed

When Robin heard that Starfire was kidnapped, he had sent the team on a desperate search through the corridors of the city. The thing that made it worse however was that the capturing had been done by Slade.

"How could I have let this happen?" Robin said for about the millionth time that day. I should have kept an eye on her! How could I have been so stupid?" "Come on man," Cyborg said, placing his large, mechanical hand on the leader's shoulder. "None of us saw this coming, it isn't your fault."

Robin merely pushed his friends hand off, sighing. "Robin, stop beating yourself up about this." Raven said with an annoyed tone in her voice. "You can't change the past." "But we can find her and stop whatever Slade's planning." Cyborg finished for her.

Beast Boy watched and listened from a corner in the room, devastated. He had always held a secret love for Starfire, but things just kept coming between that love. First their was Terra, she had totally blown the changeling away. Smart, funny, unafraid; those were the traits that he had come to love her for. But then, Terra revealed herself as Slade's ally, and everything was shattered.

Just that morning, had Beast Boy decided that he was going to break the ice. He was going to proclaim his love for the Tamerainian. Then she was captured. 'Slade's already taken Terra away from me," He thought to himself, 'He's not doing the same with Star!'

It was at that moment that Slade's face appeared on the screen.

"Slade" Robin said to the screen, glaring. "What have you done with Star!?"

"Always to the point, aren't we Robin?" Slade said.

Growling, Robin's eyes narrowed even more.

"Very well then." The screen changed from showing Slade's masked face to the chained up Starfire.

Gasping, Beast Boy stood up and walked out of the corner. "What did you do to her?"

"Lets just say, I punished her for her insolent tone."

"What the hell is that supposed to mean!?" Robin yelled.

"It matters not; I just thought that you would want to see your precious friend one last time before she leaves forever."

"Before she leaves?" Beast Boy asked, surprised.

"I'm not going to let you take her anywhere!" Robin said angrily.

"That makes two of us." Beast Boy said, stepping up next to Robin.

"Don't count us out." Cyborg said as him and Raven stood by the Boy Wonder and Best Boy.

"So you really think that you can find where I am holding your friend?" Slade questioned the four Titans, "You have two hours, and if you fail, you can say goodbye to precious Starfire." The screen shut off.

- - -

Starfire was still. She was tied up in a position that if she even twitched, she would instantly be put in more agony than she already was. Her only thoughts were of how close the other Titans were to saving her, and that they would get there in time.

Then the door opened. Starfire looked up to see the slim figure of Fina.

Smirking, Fina said, "You look so pathetic right now."

Ignoring the pain, Starfire looked up and spat. "The only pathetic thing here is that you follow Slade."

"And what's so horrible about that?"

"Slade is probably the vilest creature that has ever walked the face of any planet."

Calmly walking over in front of the Tamerainan, she gave her a very painful backhand. "How dare you talk about Master Slade that way."

"I will talk about him however I want. I am still somewhat free."

"Not for long." Fina smirked, "My master told you about his plans for you. But I think I'll just keep you in the dark for now." With a final smirk, Fina walked off, leaving a wondering Starfire behind her.

A/N: Do you know what really pisses me off for some strange reason? People that have screen names that have random numbers at the end. If you have random numbers, it means that someone beat you to it, and that you need to be more original. Now if you do have numbers that are there for a good reason, like my friend Number1DogDemon (who is currently running a really cool Inuyasha fanfic that you need to read), his "1" is there for a good reason. It's not random. Are you people getting my point? If you are, pat yourself on the back, and go eat a cookie. If you aren't, then you are a complete moron, and should be enrolled in the Special Ed. class for the rest of your miserable life.

Now, if you do have the random numbers, don't feel like you have to go and change your SN right away, but if you make any new screen names, please keep this in mind.

Well, that's it for me tonight. I think I'm gonna go watch Final Fantasy Unlimited (which all you really need to see) again. R&R please. No flamers.
