Chapter Seven
Beast boy sat on the roof of Titans Tower late that night. ' I just don't get it. ' He pondered. ' I know Seth doesn't like Terra, but why would he attack her without a reason? She said it was because of some stupid thing that happened when they were kids, and that Seth was blowing the whole thing way out of proportion. '
' But Seth isn't like that. He would never attack someone without a good reason. Plus, he never blows things out of proprotion. He usually just keepsquiet and doesn't care about too much. '
" Aaauugggh! " Shouted the changeling into the night sky. ' What's going on around here? Is Terra lying? ' He wondered about the the loyalties of the girl.
Without warning, the door to the fire exit creaked open. " Beast Boy? " Came Terra's voice. " Are you up here? "
" Yeah, I'm here. " Replied beast boy. " What's up? "
" Oh, I heard you shout and figured I should see what's wrong. " Terra answered. " So, what is wrong? "
" I was just out here thinking because I couldn't get to sleep. "
" What were you thinking about? "
" Terra, " Started the green teen. " Why did Seth attack you? He isn't the kind of person that'll just attack because he thinks somethings gonna happen. So why would he attack you? "
" I already told everyone this, he thinks that I'm gonna betray you all; so why do you keep asking? "
" I just said it, he isn't the kind of person who just attacks because of an assumption; so either you were lying or Seth was faking his entire personality until the other day. Which is it? " Beast Boy demanded.
" Okay, I was lying. " Admitted Terra. " The real reason is, he heard me on the pghone with someone that night, and he thought it sounded like I was making a deal with Slade. "
" But why would he have thought you were doing that? " Asked Beast Boy.
Terra quickly changed the subject, exploiting Beast Boy's weakness. " Hey, do you wanna go somewhere? " She asked. " Just the two of us. I know a place where we can get some great pie. "
Beast Boy couldn't believe it, Terra had just asked him out. ' Alright, I am in! ' He shouted in his mind. " Alright, let's go. " He answered her question.
' Phew, that was close. ' Terra thought.
" Okay then. " Said Terra before she summoned up a boulder for them to ride. " Let's go. " Sheand Beast Boy boarded the rock, and they set off into the night sky.
( Where they Went )
" Man, this is the best pie in the history of pie! " Exclaimed Beast Boy as he took the first bite of his slice.
" I know about a place just outside Gotham that makes great cherry, but if you want apple, then this is the place to go. " Terra commented.
" How did you know about this place anyway, Terra? " Beast Boy asked.
" Back before I met the Titans, " Began Terra. " I travelled around everywhere. This was my home for quite a while. "
" But what about the place you lived when you knew Seth? "
" I left that place when I was like eleven. " Terra explained. " I havent seen any of the others but Seth till recently. "
" But when you got here, Seth said that it had been a year since he last saw you. What was that all about? " Inquired Beast Boy.
" Oh that. " Terra remembered. " Yeah, he saw me one time in when I was in Gotham. It wan't a pretty sight, six cops went to the hospital and Batman put Seth in prison. Which was of course soon escaped. Now Seth is banned from ever returning to Gotham City. " She took a deep breath after her long explanation.
" Wow, " Beast Boy was in awe. " that was harsh. " He checked his watch. " Woah, It's two thirty in the morning, we should get back. "
" Okay, then let's get going. " Terra agreed.
When the two stepped out of the building, Terra summoned the boulder for them to get back on. Just as Beast Boy was walking Towards it, the boulder slammed into his chest, knocking the wind out of him.
" T-Terra, " he coughed. " Why would you d-do that? "
" Well, as the old syaing goes: Divide and conquer. " Reasoned Terra. " I'd love to stick around and chat, " She said sadistically. " but I have some major work to do. "
" Yes apprentice. " Said a dark voice from the shadows. " You do have much work to do. "
" S-S-Slade. " Beast boy said in amazememnt. " What're you doing here? "
" Directing my apprentice of course. " Slade said befor knocking Beast Boy unconcious with a kick to the head.
( 9:30 that morning. )
The alarm rang through Titan's Tower early that morning. Signaling some disaster or another going on in the city.
" What's going on? " Cyborg asked Robin as he yawned.
" Look at this. " Robin told Cyborg before bringing a video file up onto the T.V. The file showed a blonde girl dressed in a very strange silver suit. " This is being taken live from one of the security cameras on the street lights. " Said Robin.
The girl in the picture turned towards the camera, revealing her to be. " Terra! " Shouted Cyborg in disbelief.
" Yep, it's Terra. And we have to get moving before she destroys the city. " Said Robin as Terra destroyed the camera with a rock. " Titans, Go! "
( With Seth. )
Seth stood calmly behind the counter of Jim's Pizza, the sounds of destruction seemed completely normal to this city as the customers were taking it for some kind of earthquake.
As the sounds became louder and louder, most of the people turned to see exactly what was going on. They looked out the open galss door to see Terra randomly making rocks and boulders destroy cars and damage buildings. When they saw that, they started screaming.
The screaming drew Terra's attention, and she looked over to see al the people staring at her in fear. She smiled evily before throwiung a particularly large boulder towards the building.
" Everbody duck! " Shouted Seth as he drew his lighter. Flicking it open, his eyes glew a fierce crimson and a gicantic stream of fire flew forwards to meet the boulder. The fire and stone collided and the boulder was slowed, but it kept pushing.
Before long the boulder was incinerated and a pile of ash stood centimetres from the doorway. " Wow, Terra, " Commented Seth who hd just emerged onto the street. " I think you've gotten even worse. " He laughed.
" Shut your trap and die you insolent fool. " Spat Terra angrily. She hurled three spears of rock towards him.
Seth countered by hurling three fireballs, colliding with and breaking the rock spears. He then created a disc of flame under his feet and rose into the air. " Come on, Terra. Come get me, that is if you're not too scared. " Mocked the pyrokinetic.
" You're going to pay for that! " Shouted the Terrakinetic as she rose to his level and threw hundreds of rocks and boulders. All of which were calmly evaded and countered.
" My turn. " Seth said simply as Terra panted lightly. Wth a flick of the lighter, innumerable fireballs formed around Seth in no particular pattern and were all hurled at Terra.
Most of the projectiles were dodged, but even if she did that, they kept circling around and smashing her in the back, burning her suit. Those that she failed to doge either burned the front of her suit or burned themselves out.
" Bastard. " Muttered Terra as she pursued Seth to the ground. " You bastard! " She shouted.
" Quit yapping and start fighting. " Seth told her cockily.
" Fine then. " Terra said simply as her eyes glew bright yellow. From the ground rose three golems. Each of them stood about six feet tall and had surpisingly skinny arms. They were also coated in asphault from the road that they had risen from. " Let's see you laugh at this. " She said before the golems charged.
' Damn, this is pretty tough. ' Was one of the only thoughts than ran through Seth's mind as he doged the golems to the best of his ability. The little bastards were able to shrink themselves into the cracks in the road and snake up to any side of him they chose.
All three of them sank into the earth and Seth made a plan. the instant one of them popped up behind him, he was already incinerating it. The other two attacked and Seth managed to destroy one, but was grabbed from behind by the other.
" Heh, not so tough now are you? " Terra laughed as she tore a gargantuan piece of stone from the street. " Looks like you're the one who'll die now. " She insulted him before throwing the chunk that the had recently removed.
The Titans arrived just as the stone impacted. " Ssseeeethhhh! " Screamed Starfire in anguish.
