I promise that the next few chapters will be songfics. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Titans, GO!" Robin yelled at the top of his lungs, and he, Cyborg, Starfire, Raven, and Beast Boy instantly sprung into action.
Beast Boy transformed into a cheetah, placed himself in front of Gizmo, and was ready to attack.
Starfire started to pelt a barrage of Starbolts at Jinx, forcing her into a nearby brick wall. She giggled with pride when Jinx decided to get back up and use her Starbolts to cut the chain holding a metal pole that was about one hundred and fifty feet above her. Jinx ran out of the way and waited to be treated with her enemy's demise.
Starfire was frozen with fear. She felt her heart start to thump more and more rapidly as time passed. Each second seemed to take an eternity. "I do NOT wish to die now," she thought. Then-
"Starfire!" screamed an unmistakable voice. Her eyes were closed, but she felt herself being pulled away and warm arms around her. She heard a thunderous BANG about three feet away from her. Starfire opened her eyes to see that Robin had rescued her. "Star, you okay?" he asked.
"Yes, I am fine now. Thank you, friend!" Starfire hugged Robin and eagerly reentered the battle.
Raven was also having trouble fighting. Battling against mammoth was no easy task because he was their strongest villain, but also the stupidest. He was continually pushing her into the rough concrete. Raven had multiple bruises and a freakishly huge scab on her knee because of him. "Give up yet?" Mammoth gloated.
"No way!" Raven answered, "Azerath Metrion Zinthos!" she chanted her usual spell- she chanted it while using her powers, she chanted it whist meditating….-and sent a taxi cab flying straight towards Mammoth. He just simply yawned and punched it back at Raven, leaving a huge dent in the roof.
"Raven!" Beast Boy screamed and instantaneously left his combat with Gizmo to push her away from the falling taxi, but unlike Robin saving Starfire, he failed.
One of the taxi's tires had fallen off and hit Raven on her head, knocking her out cold. The rest of the taxi cab hit the ground with a thundering CRASH and made a giant hole in the ground, which Raven fell into. She landed in the sewers with a huge splash, and the taxi with an even bigger one.
Beast Boy just stood there, paralyzed with guilt, fear, and sorrow. It was entirely his fault; he was scared for Raven; he was sorrowful for Raven's loss. And, he was angry- angry at the HIVE, and himself. Why couldn't he just catch her? Why couldn't he have just told her everything before…..?
That one second of emotional paralysis for Beast Boy seemed to be forever, like time had frozen completely.
When Robin, Cyborg, and Starfire turned around to see that Beast Boy was staring at a hole in the ground and Raven nowhere in sight, they instantly understood what happened. Robin was about to throw an electric disk at Jinx, but then he paused, lowered his arm, and stared at where Raven had fallen, allowing Jinx to push him into the ground. Starfire flew over to Robin and Cyborg ran over to Beast Boy and stared down at the ditch with shock. All of the four remaining Titans were in shock, and the HIVE seized this opportunity to attack. Gizmo struck Cyborg from behind, hacking his systems. Cyborg had a seizure and fell to the ground.
"Attack pattern: Alpha!" Jynx ordered. Mammoth struck the ground first. Jynx used her hexing powers to sock the concrete, which made the ground shake even more. Gizmo then threw a mini-bomb in front of Jinx and yet another hole appeared in the ground. (A/N: like one wasn't enough?)
Starfire flew Robin away from the ditch. Beast Boy turned into a pterodactyl, caught Cyborg with his hind legs, and flew them both to safety.
Once it was safe to drop Cyborg, Beast Boy changed back to his normal form and said, "We have to get Raven out of there!"
"Which hole did she fall into?" Cyborg asked.
"Good question," Robin responded, "We'll search them both once we've finished with the HIVE."
"No!" Beast Boy snapped, "We have to find her now!"
"Beast Boy, you must relax!" Starfire screamed, "We will find her, but not right now,"
"Ugh!" Beast Boy pushed Starfire out of his way and went to fight the HIVE on his own. First he turned into a T-rex and whacked Gizmo with his colossal tail. The three remaining Titans were- I don't know any other way to put it- freaked out beyond all reason. They had only seen Beast Boy this mad twice-when Terra was Slade's apprentice and when Adonis hurt Raven. (A/N: this shot only shows BB's and the HIVE'S shadow's getting their butts kicked.)
Gizmo, Mammoth, and Jinx were piled on top of each other, defeated. "Can we go now?" Beast Boy asked malignantly.
