I don't own anything.
Chapter 12: Fall of Royalty
"What did you just say" Starfire asked, her head still planted in the ground by Blackfire's foot. Shoe. "You heard me." Blackfire replied. "I did" continued to swim through Starfire's head. "It is not possible." She stated. "Don't deny it. It is the truth. And as they say, the truth will set you free." Blackfire said with a snicker. "You would have been only five years old. How could you of done it" Starfire asked. "I did it. I would do it again if I had the chance. " Blackfire shot back. Star then became smitten with anger. She turned her hands palm up at Blackfire and shot two energy blasts at her. She was shot into the air and came crashing down right on the throne. The seat collapsed as soon as Blackfire came down on it.
"I am sorry my dear sister." Starfire said as she got up and looked over at where he sister had crashed. Blackfire quickly jumped up at hearing this and said" Don't flatter me with your kindness" Blackfire then wiped some blood from her mouth and looked at the red streak on her hand. She laughed as she said; "Finally you show some backbone." "Forget about that" Starfire said" I just want to know what you are talking about." "Fine, fine, fine. I hate telling stories. I'm just not really good at…" Blackfire began, but was quickly interrupted when Starfire yelled" Just tell it." "Pushy. All right, here we go" Blackfire began" as you are well aware of, the Fires of Vengeance had opposed our royalty for a while. Along the way, they unleashed chaos and destruction wherever they went. Of course, do you know what there motive was" Starfire replied"No." "Correct. I mean, what are actions without purpose? You see, while our family was living high and mighty, many of the citizens had found out about different kinds of governing, where you vote form leaders and laws and so on. However, instead of trying to try a bloodless coup, they began a war that ended some time after our parents died. The attacks were just done out of fear that our parents would forget about the people and only do what was good for them." Blackfire said
"You still haven't answered my question." Starfire said. "All right" Blackfire stated" one night, a bunch of fighters decided to strike at the heart of the problem. Frankly, the king and queen." Starfire's mind then became racing with memories of them. Since she was only one, her memories were slightly blurry. But, she could remember her parents holding her and playing with her. They did care about them and she missed them dearly. "The group had no idea where their room was, so they ended up in front of my window. And you know what? I opened it." Blackfire said, her voice now become sharp and full of hatred. Starfire's face became twisted in shock at hearing this. "That's right" Blackfire said, upon seeing Star's face" I opened the window. I let them in. Next thing you know, the castle is in an uproar as our parents lay dead, side by side, due to the actions of an extremist group and their five year old daughter."
Starfire just couldn't believe all she had heard. Her sister and been involved in killing her parents. She didn't like her sister, what for all the things down to her in the past, but now she felt something she didn't want to feel. That was the feeling of extreme hatred. The kind where one wants the one who caused it dead. She felt it gripping her mind in a sort of death lock, which she quickly tried to get rid of. She did hate her sister, but still cared about her. She was the only family member, by blood, to be still alive. "I wouldn't believe this" Starfire began" this is a trick." "Believe it" Blackfire yelled. "I helped execute out parents' death"
"If that is the case then, there is something I want to know." Starfire said. "And what would that be" Blackfire asked. "Why did you allow that to happen" she asked. Blackfire shook her head and said" I would of thought you all ready knew." Starfire just looked at her in confusion. "You see" Blackfire began" before you came into my life, I had it all. But most of all, I had our parents love. They cared for me more then anything. I was their only love. And then, when I turned five, my life came crashing down." Blackfire's voice then started to crack up as though she was beginning to cry" by then, you were born. Our parents then shifted their attention to you. They completely forgot about me. It was always you, you, you. I was cast aside." Tears then began to slowly stream from her eyes as she fixed a cold gaze on Starfire. "I was all alone in the world. Love for me was all but taken away. And it was all because of you! I don't care if I am helping Slade wipe out an entire civilization! I just want you dead"
"Sister" Starfire began" I never knew." "Now you do." Blackfire shot back. "I am sorry if you felt alone. You may have gotten our parents murdered. The back of my mind tells me to eliminate you. Yet, I still want you in my life. You are my sister, and you…" "Silence" Blackfire yelled" You kindness can not amend for the pain you have caused me. The only thing that can finally make my life complete is to bring about your end" Blackfire quickly flew straight at Starfire and delivered a hard punch to Star. Knocking her off guard, Blackfire delivered a spin kick followed up with another punch. Starfire, holding her body due to the blows, backed slowly away from Blackfire.
"Why are you holding back" Blackfire asked. "I'm not." Star replied, slowly getting upright. "You are" Blackfire stated" you could of easily blocked those moves and countered. Them." "I just don't want to fight you." Star replied. "And why not" Blackfire asked. "I finally see the pain you have received over the years" she replied" there may have been a reason that our parents may of forgotten about you. It was wrong, but we can start over. You still have me and I care about you. We can be a family again." Blackfire let out a laughed and replied with" Oh, sister. This is way I hate you. You are too soft. You can easily be deceived. You can't come to killing someone. You are so pathetic. I think its time to finish this." She then sent a punch to Starfire, who blocked it this time. Blackfire tried again, but was again blocked and this time got punched in the face. "Come on, I know you can do better then that." Blackfire then grabbed Starfire and, still holding her, flew ahead quickly and brought Star crashing into the wall. She quickly flew away. As Star began to move from where she had been pinned. Star then saw her sister fired off energy shots at her. Starfire shot back at her with her own energy, the blasts hitting each other on contact. Just then, a huge beam of energy hit Star, causing her to scream in pain. An explosion of purple energy then occurred, engulfing the whole area in a flash of purple. When it cleared, Star now fell, face first to the ground. Her body had been hit by some scorch marks and her costume had some tears on it.
"This is just like the wedding" Blackfire said as she floated down and Star began to get up"except the other way around." "Star, get up and fight her" Robin yelled out. "I can't" Starfire began" she is my sister. I just can't." "Star, I know she is all you have left" he began" but you also have us. You can save her, but you have to fight her. If not, then you maybe could lose it all, your friends and your sister." "I've had enough of you." Blackfire said as her eyes glowed purple. Part of the energy beams then shot off like electricity and made contact with Robin. He screamed as he was hit and he dropped to the ground, but Beast Boy got him before he feels. "Stop that" Starfire yelled. "Don't worry. I can make those life threatening if you want to. I think giving one slight pain is only a delay from the coming death." "You wouldn't." Starfire said. "Oh, I would" Blackfire began" with just a flash of my eyes and your friends will be smoldering piles of ash. The only way to stop this is to ether kill who ever is controlling the energy or that person has to willingly halt it. An you know what, I am not going to give up willingly." Starfire just looked down at the ground and clutched her hands into fists. "You are weak" Blackfire stated" and it is going to get them killed. Robin was right. You will lose something dear."
"No" Starfire yelled. And then, everything that followed seemed to happen in an instant. Starfire's head shot up when she yelled and her eyes glowed with a fierce shade of green. Two beams of energy then shot from them and went straight at Blackfire. With little time to react, Blackfire could only watch the beams shot right into her chest and shot out the other side. With her heart pierced and blood now staining her clothes, all she could do was fall backwards and hit the ground, all life removed from her body. With her death, the beams around the teams' prison dropped, freeing them. "Thanks, Star." BB said. "Not now, Beast Boy." Specter said. He was motioning to Starfire, who had now knelt before the fallen body of her sister. "I am sorry for killing you." Starfire said as she placed a head on Blackfire's cold dead head. "But, I just reacted" Star began" I just couldn't risk losing people I care about die. But, I ended you life, the last of our bloodline. I hope you can understand the fact that I am sorry with every bit of my heart. I hope you meet our parents, wherever you go, and you can fix up your problems." During this time, Robin had walked over to Starfire. As soon as she stood up, he placed a hand on her shoulder and said"Star, I'm sorry." "I know how you fell. Losing a loved one." Raven said. Starfire turned to Robin and the team and said" Friends, you have always stood by me. But, do not feel sorry for me. This has gone on for so long and I never knew it. I hope that if I die, I will receive redemption." "Star" Robin began" you saved the lives of others. I knew you had to kill your sister, but maybe she shall she her errors. Maybe she'll be forgiven by her parents wherever she is." Starfire smiled and softly kissed Robin on the lips. "Thank you, Robin." She said. Just then, a door once again opened at the end of the room. "Another villain down, another door." Robin said. "Then let us see who awaits us."
