Chapter 4

The Final Trial

Robin stepped through the gate, and saw that he was not in another area, but what appeared to be a rest area. Not a very good rest area, as it had only one lawn chair and a jug of water sitting on the ground next to it. The speaker box cracked again.

"Welcome to the rest stop, Robin. Sit down, rest a while, drink some water."

Robin stared hard at the speaker box, his eyes showing that he clearly did not trust the voice.

"How do I know the water isn't poisoned?" Robin asked.

"Please, Robin. If I wanted you dead, I simply would have killed you when you were captured. Now, drink up. You'll need to be refreshed for your final trial. In the corner behind you is some food. Eat and drink. You have ten minutes before you must proceed."

With that, the voice cracked out, leaving Robin alone again. Robin walked over to the corner and picked up the food. It was a tofu burger, Beastboy's favorite. Robin grimaced at the thought of his green friend, remembering the finger that had been wrapped in the box. Walking over to the chair, Robin sat in it, nearly getting back to his feet as the chair gave a violent crack. Robin picked up the water and drank greedily; not stopping until the gallon jug was empty. Robin unwrapped the cold tofu burger and swallowed the whole thing with one bite. Robin gagged as it went down his throat. Robin looked around the room and saw a digital countdown clock, seeing that he still had about five minutes, Robin sat back in the chair, trying to relax until the timer went off.

Elsewhere

Terra put Starfire gently into a giant metal chair that had straps on the arms, legs and head. She quickly strapped in the Tameranian Princess, making sure the bonds were nice and tight, nearly cutting off her circulation. Terra took a quick look around the room. It was just a large, bare room with a bunch of monitors in the corner. Terra walked towards the monitors and stared at the screen. The timer in Robin's room was now at zero. She pushed a button and the door opened. She watched as Robin walked through the door, not knowing what lay ahead.

Over in the chair, Starfire began to regain consciousness. She lifted her head and saw Terra in the corner, watching the monitors. A small voice carried to her ears, and Starfire strained to listen, trying to identify whom it was coming from.

"Is all set, my sweet?"

"Yes master. All is nearly complete. Soon Robin will be ours." Terra replied.

"Good…Very good. Yes, Robin will be ours, to love and to hold…till death do us part!"

Starfire gasped as she realized whom the speaker was.

Elsewhere

Robin walked through the gate into what appeared to be a building complex. Leading from the gateway was a long, dark hallway. As Robin looked around at the darkened hallway, he noticed something…similar about it. The blackness covering the wall seemed to be alive. He finally realized where he had seen that darkness. Raven. Robin ran through the hallway, making spilt second decisions at every turn that the hallway took. After a few minutes of hard running, he saw a door. Robin leapt into the air and landed a hard jump kick, busting the door wide open. Inside, was a large room with only one other door. In the middle of the room hovered Raven, her eyes blood red and her body shrouded in darkness.

"Raven! Raven, what're you doing? Where are the others?" Robin called out, though knowing full well she couldn't hear him in the state she was in.

"Kill her, Robin. If you do not, your little girl friend will die." The distorted voice said over a loud speaker.

Robin stared helplessly at Raven, switching his gaze from her to the loudspeaker.

"There has to be a way to do this without killing her! Why is Raven doing this?" Robin thought to himself, finally settling his gaze strictly on Raven. It was then he noticed the collar. "The collar! That's what must be controlling her! Maybe if I can hit her hard enough"

Before Robin could formulate a plan, Raven struck. Chanting the words that struck fear into so many of the criminals of Jump City.

"AZERATH METRION ZENTHOS!" Instead of her normal voice, it was a loud, scratchy, anger filled voice.

The dark powers that surrounded the room suddenly left the wall and struck Robin, hard in the chest. Robin flew backwards, head over heel, until he smacked hard into the wall, his head cracking the wall hard. Dazed, Robin could barely see straight, and didn't see Raven flying through the air, her foot leading her body, connecting hard with Robin's head, slamming it back into the wall. Raven followed up with a surprising flurry of martial arts moves, slamming Robin into the wall again and again. She finally grabbed him by the shirt and threw him over her head. Robin landed hard on the ground and slowly got up.

Robin turned to face Raven, who was already charging him again. Robin readied himself and countered every one of Raven's attacks. Robin then went on the offensive, landing several punches of his own, each connecting hard with Raven's head and body. His adrenaline was freely flowing now, and he was landing harder and harder punches, Robin was nearly in a beserker state. He reared back, and landed a punch, harder then any of the others, and connected solidly with Raven's head. A loud crack sounded through the air and Raven fell to the ground unconscious. Robin pulled back to punch Raven again, but stopped as he realized Raven was disabled.

Robin fell to his knees, not believing what he had just done.

"Good Robin. Very good. She shows no vital signs at all. Continue through the door." The distorted voice said.

The other door clicked open. Robin slowly got to his feet and took a last, longing look at his friend's lifeless form. Robin turned and walked through the door. Robin entered a similar room to the one he had just exited. In the center of the room, stood Cyborg.

"Cyborg will be easier to take down. I just need to get behind him and pull his circuits." Robin thought to himself.

Cyborg charged, his eyes blazing red, similar to Raven's when she attacked. Robin simply leaped over his giant robot friend and landed on his back. Entering the control panel, Robin ripped out several key wires, rendering Cyborg useless. His normally blue parts turned black and Cyborg fell to the ground.

The door opened and Robin walked through. He had dealt with Cyborg easily. If Cyborg was himself, Robin would've had a lot more trouble dealing with him. Beastboy might be a different problem though. As Robin walked into yet another identical room, he saw not Beastboy, but Starfire. She was strapped to a chair and gagged. Next to her was Beastboy. He was lying on the floor, seemingly asleep in his dog form. Behind them, stood Terra.

"Terra? What are you doing here?!" Robin said, completely surprised. "Where's Slade?"

Terra smirked and walked slowly towards Robin. Robin also noticed her sleek, filled out body, as she walked swerving her hips. She stopped a few feet in front of him and put her hands on her hips.

"There is no Slade, Robin. I am the only one here. It took me four years to prepare this…all the planning, all the building…everything! And I did it all for you."

Robin stared at Terra, not knowing what to say.

"You didn't even notice me, or the hints I gave you when I was a Titan. I…I…" Terra stuttered.

Robin saw something in her face that suddenly explained what was going on. He knew what was going to happen next.

"I HATED YOU!" Terra shouted, her face twisting into a mask of fury. She moved too quickly for Robin to counter her attack, as she landed a hard punch to his face, knocking him back a few feet. Robin readied himself immediately to fight, but saw her just standing there, tears welling up in her eyes.

"I…I gave you so many signs…why didn't you love me?!" Terra shouted. "We went out together! You told me about your dreams! Your moped! We had plans! But instead you chose that alien bitch!"

Robin took a step back in surprise. He thought he had figured it out, but he was wrong. He thought she just had split personalities, but somehow, her memories had gotten mixed up while she was in her stone prison. She thought he was Beastboy.

"Terra listen to me. You went out with Beastboy, not me! You have to remember that!" Robin shouted, trying to get through to her.

"LIAR! You…you went out with me! Now you're trying to lie to me!"

Terra took a step forward, her hands shaking with rage, her eyes glowing bright yellow.

"If I can't have you, no one can!" Terra shouted, raising up a chunk of rock behind her.

Before she could throw it, she was knocked to the ground by the green dog that was Beastboy. Terra shrieked in anger, trying to punch the green dog, but Beastboy locked his powerful jaws onto her wrist and started to drag her away from Robin and Starfire, who was still strapped into the chair. Robin rushed to the chair and began to untie Starfire, whose eyes were wide with terror. Robin could hear Beastboy and Terra struggling in the background. Robin finally got Starfire free and they both rushed to help Beastboy. They found Beastboy in control of the situation; Terra was lying on the ground unconscious, blood smearing her face and arm.

"Robin, we must help Terra! Beastboy, please change back to human!" Starfire said.

Beastboy shook his dog head and scratched at the collar that was still around his neck. Robin bent over and quickly broke it off. Beastboy changed back to his human form.

"Aw thanks man. That collar was starting to chafe me!" Beastboy said, rubbing his neck.

"How come the collar didn't affect you, Beastboy?" Robin asked.

"These collars were made for humans, not animals. I found that out when I turned into a dog. Uh…Where's Rae and Cy?" Beastboy asked.

Robin stared at the wall, trying to think of how to explain what he had done.

"They…"

"Are right here. We're fine." Cyborg's voice rang through the room.

Robin turned and saw Raven and Cyborg walking through the door. Raven had a dark bruise on her right cheek and she was being supported by Cyborg.

"I was able to resist the virus that Terra put in my system, that's the only reason you beat me so easily." Cyborg said with a smile.

"But…what about-" Robin began.

"I'm fine Robin. You forget I can channel through the spirit world. I put my spirit back into my body and began a healing process. I'm still not fully healed, but I'll live." Raven explained. "Now, you can tell us what's been going on."

"But what about Cyborg? I ripped out-"

"All of my main wires. Not my backups, which kicked in a few minutes later. Now tell us what's been going on."

Robin began to explain what he remembered from before they were captured, what he had been put through, and what he thought was wrong with Terra. It took nearly an hour to explain everything.

"Switched memories? That would explain why she kept talking about you as if you were Beastboy, Robin. But then, why was she talking to herself?" Starfire asked.

"Maybe I was wrong…maybe she did have split personalities as well." Robin said.

"She kept calling herself Master. And she was talking as if she were Slade. It was…very unnerving." Starfire said.

"Well, what do we do with her?" Cyborg asked.

"We need to get her help. Take her to the hospital. Get her to a doctor." Robin said.

"I've already scanned her mind. She's suffering from massive mental trauma and several mental disorders. If we take her back to the Tower, I can help." Raven said.

"How did you scan her?" Beastboy asked.

"Her powers are not the only ones that have evolved." Raven said, smirking.

"Fine. We take her back and Raven can help. Now lets get the hell out of here." Robin said.

The Titans all nodded. Cyborg picked up Terra and they walked towards the door. Robin lagged behind and took one last look around the room. The monitors were still on, showing the signs of destruction that he had left behind. Robin walked over to them and unplugged them. Robin ran over to the door and took one long, last look at the room. He slowly shut the door behind him.

One of the monitors flashed back on briefly, showing a masked man with one eye showing. It flashed for only a second before going black again.
