As usual, I don't own anything.
Chapter 11: Sibling Rivalry
The little girl jolted from her sleep. The covers remained wrapped around her as she looked around her room. There were her toys, her closet, and her dresser, yet nothing else. A tapping had awoken her a few seconds ago. Being as a normal six-year-old, she could assume it was some kind of monster. Yet, nothing seemed to be there. With her safety confirmed, she laid her head back onto her pillow. Just then, the same tapping noise was heard. She sprang up once again and turned to where the source had come from, her window. In front of the window was some kind of shadow. She moved her black hair from her eyes to try and see whom it was, but she couldn't make out who was there. The little girl then got out of her bed and walked over to her window.
This time, there was not one shadow, but two. The three were hovering above the ground that was her familes' castle. Their faces were unrecognizable, but she noticed something on the middle one's clothing. It was her planet's sign, but with a spear jammed through the center. She had seen people like this. They also yelled things at her parents when they walked through the city. These people even had once stormed the throne room. They hated her parents, just as she hated them. Her mother and father, the king and queen, never paid attention to her. It was all about her little one-year-old sister. She never received any of their attention, there care, and she even thought they never loved her. Nothing would be her's, it would always be her little sister But, these people would take care of them. Would make them go away. With one hand, she slowly moved it to release the door's lock…
The Titans continued their trek through the Slade's vessel. With only seven hours left, the team quickened their pace in order to reach where Slade was. They walked in silence for a while, but Beast boy spoke up and said" Who do you think we'll meet next" "Whoever it is" Robin began" we'll take them down." "There's a connection though" Raven stated" Dragon, Blood, and Trigon. They all had something to do with me, Cyborg, and Specter." "Its safe to say we have noticed." Robin stated. "Who do you think is next" Specter asked. "I don't know" Robin said" could be real or a clone." "We were the victors in our last battles" Starfire began" this one shall be a victory." "We're going to find out soon enough." Specter said.
The team had once again came to another door. This one however ha something on it. In the center of a circle there was a triangle. A green fire burned in it and the sides were etched in a gold color. The symbol, however, had a sword japed right through it. This gave off the idea that whoever saw this symbol probably didn't like this. "Hey Star, do you…" Robin began, but stopped as he looked at her. Her gaze was fixed squarely on the symbol and her mouth lay a gap. "Star, do you know this" Robin asked. "More then you could possibly know." Star said, her voice sounding strangely angry for some reason. "How do we get in" Specter asked. Just then, Starfire spoke out some kind of strange talk that sounded like gibberish to the team. As she finished, the door opened. Starfire walked in as Robin said" Looks as though Star figured that out."
The team entered the room and was suddenly hit with a case of déjà vu. The room's walls and floor were in some sort of purple color. Columns that appeared to be spiraling up held the roof. The ceiling had windows that showed the blackness of space and the distant stars that dotted it. A long red carpet stretched out from the doorway to the front of the front of the room. It led to a large throne that was in a color like that of gold. The symbol they had seen on the door was on top of the throne, though minus the sword. On the throne, there sat a girl. She appeared to be in her early twenties. Her hair was black and her eyes were purple. She wore a black jumpsuit with grey plating on the chest, arms, and legs. She looked at the team as a smile formed on her lips. "Thought I never would get to see you again, sister dear." She said "Blackfire." Starfire said, her eyes suddenly turning a shade of green that seemed to burn in her eyes.
"Starfire, I can't believe you. It had been six years and you still hate me." Blackfire said, noticing the anger in Star's eyes. "I wouldn't be kind to you. You tried to ruin our Tameran and sell me off for power." "Starfire, she isn't the real Blackfire" Robin stated" this could just be another clone. "No, no. It is the real me" Blackfire stated" clones may have been knocked up a to when they last met you, but I have aged. And, you have to say, twenty-four and I still don't look a day over from when we last fought." "The question on my mind is how do you get away from Gerlurper…gerlerpe…that thing you tried to marry me off to" she asked. "I wish I never had to think of that again" Blackfire replied" I had to live with that walking slime ball for the past six years. Finally, I killed him when the time was right. I hijacked one of his spacecraft's and went back to Earth, where I planned on finishing you off. Slade, however, got to me first and offered to train me for a while. I agreed and I stand before you even stronger then previously."
"We will test that." Starfire said as she walked forward. "I like hearing that. Just the two of us, and no one else." Blackfire said. She then snapped her fingers, which, while behind for no reason, did something. Purple energy bars shot up around the other Titans and then formed around the top. "Friends" Starfire shouted when she saw what was happening. "What's this" Robin asked. Specter drew his katana and clashed at the beams, but his weapon ricochet off. Robin drew out a hand laser and shot it at the beams, but barely penetrated the beams. "Looks like some sort of energy." Raven said. "Yes" Blackfire said, the team watching her as she slowly walked from the throne" its in fact enhanced Tameranian energy that's mine. I can control it remotely." "Let them out. They don't need to be in there." Starfire said. "If you want them out" Blackfire began, her eyes now glowing purple" you'll have to take me down"
She then fired a purple energy ball at Star, knocking her right over the Titan's cage and into the over head wall. "You'll have to do better then that." Blackfire said as she looked at where Starfire was pinned. Starfire grunted in pain and floated from where she was hit. She then fired her own energy blast at Blackfire, but she jumped away from it. Starfire glided straight ahead and then knocked her toward the throne with a swift punch. Blackfire quickly recovered before she hit the throne and hovered in the air. Blackfire then shot off a few quick fire shots of Tameranian energy at Starfire. Star moved at a quick pace, dodging the energy blasts. Blackfire then flew straight at her and delivered a sharp elbow to Star's stomach. Star retaliated with a kick to Blackfire's head. Blackfire then delivered a punch to Star as she sent in a swift uppercut.
Star then tried another swing at Blackfire, but Blackfire grabbed her punch and wrapped her hand around it. Star then tried punching her with her other fist, but Blackfire also grabbed this swing. Star the pushed back on Backfire as she pushed forward, the two struggling in this locked battle. "You still are not better then me. Sister, I'm shocked." Blackfire remarked. "Shut up" Starfire began" I don't need any of your comments. The only thing I need is you beaten." Starfire shot back. "I sense some anger issues" Blackfire stated" is this all about that little symbol on the entrance door. I really think its looks much better then our planet's old symbol." Starfire, now embroiled with rage" tried to knee Blackfire. She managed to quickly moved to the side and knock Starfire into the ground.
As she floated to the ground, Starfire got up and said" That symbol is an insult to our heritage and to our planet." "I now. The Fires of Vengeancewere odd, but an excellent group. Well thought out." "They were murderers and psychopaths" Starfire shot back. "The innocent little sister finally had a weakness. I take it you have problems with them." Blackfire stated. "You can say that" Starfire began" I may have been just born when they came to power, but I heard a lot about them. They were a group of Tameranians who opposed our families' kingdom. Those heretics left death and destruction in their wake. It was them who killed our birth parents." "Like I could give a rat's ass about them. May they rot in the ground like garbage." Star's eyes then became burning with green energy as she yelled out" You Germastilled" She then charged dead on at Blackfire, fists raised. Blackfire held out one hand and sent a stream of purple energy at Star. When it hit, she cried out in pain and dropped backwards onto the floor. Blackfire then came over and planted her shoe on Star's head, pinning her to the floor. "Really. I need better from you." Blackfire said as she looked down at Starfire. "I can't believe you would say such things about our parents. The people who cared for us and were killed in cold blood." Starfire said. "Sister, sister, sister. They never killed them." Blackfire said. "Then who" Starfire asked. Blackfire then leaned down, never taking her foot off of Star's head, and said two words that sent a chill through her" I did."
