Robin finally arrived at Tameran after being chased by angry space monsters, almost being sucked into a black hole, and almost getting burned when a space monster hurtled his ship near the sun. After everything, Robin finally arrived at Tameran. Now, he was going to have to find Starfire.
"I bet a million dollars Blackfire is behind this," he muttered after he asked hundreds of Tameranian citizens if they had seen Starfire. Nobody had seen her.
"Excuse me?" he asked to an old female Tameranian walking by. "Have you seen a tall girl who dresses just like you, have long auburn hair, and have green eyes?" he asked hopefully.
"I have not," replied the old woman.
"Wait! Have you seen anyone who looks just like her but has purplish black hair and smaller black eyes?" he asked.
"I have," replied the old woman. She gave directions, and Robin was on his way.
Robin stopped in front of an underground tunnel and climbed inside. In there was a struggling Starfire with a large ball inside her mouth. She was unable to talk. When she saw him, she started shaking her head violently. Robin went to her and took out the ball.
"Robin, go out. It is a trap of booby," she said. It was too late. The entrance closed, and thousands of starbolt rays formed.
"What are these?" asked Robin.
"These are starbolt rays. They shoot out fatal starbolts," replied Starfire curtly being the teacher for once. "If I were you, I would try to avoid them."
Robin dodged as many rays as he could, shooting electric disks at others and breaking others with his bo staff. When one starbolt ray was trying to shoot Robin, he dodged and it accidentally hit one of Starfire's chains. That chain restricted Starfire's right arm. Now, she is able to shoot starbolts with that arm. She quickly shot a starbolt to break the other chains. She was free. She assisted Robin in fighting the rays. When they finally defeated the starbolt rays, Starfire turned to Robin.
"Thanks," she said curtly.
"Star, I didn't mean to get you into danger. If only you listened to me last night that Veronica-" began Robin.
"Is working for my sister," finished Starfire. "She is her partner."
"Star, stop lying," said Robin. "That is not true."
"I heard all of her secrets. She is working for Blackfire," repeated Starfire. "I know what I heard."
"She couldn't be," replied Robin. "Even if she is, why would she do that?"
"She turned envious when you formed the Teen Titans," replied Starfire.
"You're probably wrong," said Robin. "That's what you think happened."
"That small square was not to hold the tiny Ds of Cs, but to it is a shrink ray that sucked me into the square, and Blackfire took the square to Tameran."
"Why did you write that letter, then?" demanded Robin.
"I was going to run away," blushed Starfire. "Before I had the chance, I got captured by Veronica and Blackfire."
"Veronica is not involved. She was with us the whole time," replied Robin.
"I believe it was Veronica who shrunk me to the square. Tell me. Did she leave to go to my room?" asked Starfire.
"Well, she told me that she wanted to go comfort you, but that's about it," said Robin. "Now that I think of it, it is possible that Veronica is behind half of this, but the likelihood of that is less than 0.1."
"I guess that that 0.1 is true!" said a voice behind them. There was Veronica and Blackfire, in similar attires.
"Veronica?" asked Robin.
"That's right, bird brain," smirked Veronica. What Starfire and Robin did not know was that Veronica also has supernatural abilities. She shot out a type of energy ball, not a starbolt.
"It's a blackbolt," said Veronica. The ball of energy looked very much like a starbolt, but it had a glistening black color and seemed to have a blanket of electricity. Robin easily dodged it, for Veronica had a fatal type of attack, but slow reflexes.
"I see I underestimated you," said Blackfire. "I won't again. However, you and baby sister will pay." She fought Starfire with starbolts, while Robin dodged Veronica's blackbolts.
"I don't want to hurt you," said Robin.
"Well I want to knock the crap out of you," replied Veronica nastily.
"Why, Veronica?" pleaded Robin. "We're friends."
"Friends? We were more than just friends. We dated! Now, you left me just to form your stupid team. You abandoned me. That is why I hate your shit now," screamed Veronica. When Robin was distracted, Veronica shot out a blackbolt that was aimed for his heart. Her aim was true. Robin staggered backwards and collapsed. He was not dead yet, but he was going to die. He knew it. As he looked up to Veronica, he just breathed one word. "Why?"
