Last time on The Four Elements
The titans arrived at the scene just as the boulder made contact. " Seeeeethhhh! " Screamed Starfire in anguish.
Chapter 8
" Ha! " Shouted Terra in her triumph. " I guess after all that talk you really weren't that tough after all now were you? " She mocked the boulder.
" Terra! " She looked in the direction of Robin, who had been shouting. " What have you done! " He demanded.
Terra smirked. " I just smashed Seth into a pulp. Is there a problem with that? "
" You need to be taught a lesson kid. " Cyborg said before charging in madly.
He through punches as hard and as fast as he could, but Terra managed to dodge them all. ' What's going on? She was never this fast before. Is it the suit? ' Cyborg asked himself.
" Too slow big guy. " Terra taunted as she dodged another punch from Cyborg. " Aaaaah! " She shouted as she found herself tied up by Cyborg's arm.
" I've got you now kid. You've got nowhere to run to now. " Cybor was about to punch her when a large rock collided with the side of his head.
" Shut your mouth you big robotic moron! " Terra said as Cyborg collapsed, realeasing her from his hold. " Hahahahaha- " as she laughed she found herself being attacked by a large green eagle. ( Yes, he found his way back. )
The eagle flew away from her face and morphed into a grizzly bear, charging at Terra. Fear coursed through Terra's eyes before she got an idea. She formed a giant wall of rock in front of her and smiled, convinced that she had stopped him. She was proven wrong however when a green mammoth smashed her wall to pieces and charged her down as a coyote.
Terra was pinned down and she stared up at Beast Boy with a look of terror on her face. As Beast Boy moved in for the finishing blow, a rock smashed into his muzzle. Followed by a larger rock to his abdomen, throwing him of of her and knocking him unconcious. " Excellent Terra. " Said a sinoster voice in Terra's ear. " Now,finish the rest of them. "
" Yes sir. " Terra said, her voice devoid of hesitation.
Terra followed her orders and attacked. Her initial attack was sweeping a giant boulder towards the remaining three titans. This was easily dodged, for the most part. Raven was not as lucky as the others and she took a blow to the legs, the pain causing her to fall from the sky. " Raven! " Shouted Robin as he pulled a 180 and dove to catch his love.
' To easy. ' Was Terra's only thought as she bombarded Robin with stones of varying sizes and shapes, throwing him of course. Raven hit the ground, not moving; and Robin was barely standing.
Terra walked cockily towards a bruised, battered, and bloody Robin; and delivered a swift kick in the back of the neck, rendering him motionless.
" So Star, it looks like it's just you and me now doesn't it? "
Starfire looked at the scene in horror. " You were our friend. " She said sadly. " We trusted you, how could you do this to us? " She looked up at Terra with tears beginning to fall down her cheeks.
" The same way I did it to my last set of friends. " Terra said simply. " I just attacked them one day and then walked off with my master. "
" But this time I'm going to do something I didn't get the chance to last time. " Terra's eyes sparkled with hatred. " This time I'm going to kill you all ! " Terra was just about to bring the spear of rock through Starfire's skull when the rock was destroyed by a fireball. Seconds later, Terra was smashed by another.
" Show yourself! " Terra demanded in the direction the balls of fire had come form. " Show yourself or I'll kill her right now! " She demanded again.
" Oh, has the great and powerful Terra become so weak and cowardly that she resorts to threatening those who won't defend themselves? " The voice seemed to come from every possible direction at once.
" What the hell are you talking about! " Terra screamed.
" She's not going to fight back Terra, she's to shocked. " The voice explained.
" I don't care what she won't do, you obviously don't want her to die. So if you don't come out right now, she will. " Terra reasoned.
" Fine then. " Was the only reply she recieved. She looked around and somehting caught her eye. It was a figure that appeared human, but Terra couldn't tell through all the dust in the air. It took a moment, but finally the figure stopped, and she recognized it.
Standing there defiantly, hair swaying in the light breeze, was Seth. The edges of his body were hazy, like he wasn't really there, but it was definitely him.
" B-but you're d-dead. " Terra was in shock. " I-I killed you. "
" That you did Terra, you crushed my body under a rock. But I'm back for revenge. " Said Seth. " I promised that I'd kill you, and I always keep my promises. DIE! "
He whipped out his lighter, flicked it on and threw hundreds of firebalss, some were dodged, some were blocked, and some made contact. Terra came out of the exchange worse off though.
Rocks and boulders were thrown by the thousands at Seth, each of the passin right through. " Hahahahaha! " He laughed. " Remember Terra, you killed me. " Seth mocked. " You can't hurt a ghost. "
Realization struck Terra as she listened to Seth talk. " Alright Sin, get your ass out here now. " She ordered. " I know that's not you, so get out here now! "
Applause sounded, making Terra look around her. She located the source of the sound. It was a small building with a sign hanging on it that read ' Jim's Pizza. ' The real Seth emerged from the building, still applauding. " Good job Terra, you saw through my coloured flame illusion. " Seth congratulated her. " I didn't think you'd ever catch on. "
" Well, this beat you before, " Terra summoned up three golems, exactly the same as the ones that Seth had fought the first time. " and it'll beat you again. " She smirked.
" Two can play at that game Terra. " Seth summoned three golems of his own. As Terra's golems sank down then reappeared in a triangle around Seth, his golems attached themselves to Terra's, incinerating them immediately.
" Raaaaah! " Shouted Terra in rage. She charged at Seth blindly. Seth created a cape out of fire, very reminiscent of a bullfighting cape. " Toro! Toro! " He shouted at the enraged girl.
Terra dove at Seth, hands first- ignoring orders from Slade coming in her ear- attempting to strangle him. Seth withdrew the cape and Terra fell straight into his trap. Waiting behind the cape were three rings of fire, which Terra dove through like a dolphin.
However, before she was completely thorugh, Seth his hand and the rings tightened, one binding Terra's ankles, one for the lower bart of her atrms and torso, and one more for the upper part. " It's over Terra. " Seth said as he pulled his lighter from his pocket and flicking it open. His eyes turned to their fierce crimson and a river of fire as large as the one he had used against Plasmus sprang forth and engulfed Terra.
After a mere fifteen seconds in the fire, Terra's body turned to ash, which was the signal for Seth to stop. He pocketed his lighter, his eyes returning to normal as he approached Starfire. " Hey, you okay? " He asked softly.
Starfire looked up at him, her emerald orbs still overflowing with sadness. It hurt Seth to see her like that. Looking into his eyes, Starfire dove at him and wrapped her arms around his neck, crying into his shoulder.
" I thought you were dead! " She cried. " I was worried that I'd never get to see you again. " She sobbed all the louder into his shoulder.
" Shhhh, I'm here now, I'm here. " He kissed her head softly. " I'm not going anywhere. "
" R-really? " Starfire stuttered.
" Of course, I love you, why would I leave? " He asked rhetorically.
Starfire hiccupped. " Y-you love me? " She asked in astonishment.
" Of course I do. " He kissed her lips softly.
" I hate to interrupt his touching moment, " Came a dark voice from the dust floating in the air. " but I need to kill you now. " Slade emerged from the haziness and pointed at Seth. Seth felt something strange in the air and immediately recognized what it was. He smiled and said, " Come on then Tin head, come get me. " With a roar, Slade charged. Just as his fist was about to make contact wioth Seth's face, a huge gust of wind blew him about twelve feet backwards.
A brown haired guy, he looked about fifteen descended form the air and landed beside Seth. He was wearing a green T-shirt, with a green button up shirt that was unbuttoned; he was also wearing green suade running shoes and slightly baggy blue jeans.
" Lomg time no see. " Said the guy. " Who's she? " He indicated Starfire.
" Starfire, this is Andrew, Andrew, this is Starfire. " Seth quickly introduced the two. " Hey, what's keeping Raine? "
" Nothing anymore. " Said a perky voice from the sky as a girl dressed in a skin tight blue body suit crashed into Seth. " Hi Seth, I missed you. Who's she? " " Raine, Starfire. Starfire, Raine. Now, let's finish this bastard. " Seth, lighter was in his hand while Raine drew a super soaker.
" Ha, you children beleive that you can kill me. You make me laugh. " Slade insulted them.
" Who said anything about believing it? " Andrew spat. " We know we can kill you. " The three elementals were immediately surroundig Slade as he was bombarded by fireballs, doused with ice cold water, and sliced with razor edged winds.
In mere moments, the mighty Slade had been reduced to a crumpled, smoking form lying pathetically on the street. " I got to kill Terra, " Seth spoke up. " you to should kill him. " He turned around and walked back towards Starfire.
He was tackled by Starfire, who had just changed personalities so fast, Seth could have sworn she was bipolar. She wa snow tremendously happy and she refused to release her hug on Seth, who quickly kissed her. "Is it over? " She asked him.
" Don't worry, those two'll make sure that he never comes back. " Seth assured his love. As if on cue, horrible screams erupted from the area where Andrew, Raine, and Slade were. There was a large whirlwind with Slade in the middle of it, being ripped apart by wind and pelted with chunks of ice. " See, I told you they would. " Seth said as Slade's body was torn into many pieces. " It's finally over. " Seth said softly as the dust cleared.
Now that the dust was gone, Seth took Starfire in his arms and watched the sunrise.
