The next morning, pretty much everyone was tired. The only people who weren't were Starfire, Raven, Blackfire, and Veronica. Starfire wanted to get extra energy to beat Blackfire if she gets the chance. Blackfire wanted to do the same with Starfire. Raven always sleeps and wakes early, and Veronica always wakes up early to attend royal duties. On the other hand, Caramel looked like she was sleepwalking. Snowflake groggily splashed water on her face to keep her awake. Terra and Jinx just looked plain tired.

"Today, the battle of heroines will start," said the Master of Games interrupting everything. The heroines or villainesses were immediately teleported to separate battle rooms.

"Starfire vs. Caramel!" boomed the voice.

"Gosh he likes to hear himself talk," muttered Caramel. She and Starfire were teleported to an abandoned warehouse.

"I do not wish to fight you," apologized Starfire. "However, I must to prove to my big sister that I am not a ... um... how earthlings say a wimp."

"Well good luck with that!" said Caramel. "You will win with great difficulty."

"We shall see about that," said Starfire.

"Raven vs. Jinx!" boomed the Master of Games.

The two were teleported to a square of darkness except for four candles in the corners.

"You have no idea what you're up against," said Jinx arrogant as always.

"I think I do," said Raven. "I also think I can beat what I'm up against."

"That's highly unlikely," replied Jinx.

"I beg to differ," replied Raven. Her hands glowed black.

"Terra vs. Blackfire!" boomed the Master of Games.

"Oh! Give me a break! Another Teen Titan!" groaned Blackfire. "My hate list is growing."

"It's the end of the world," replied Terra sarcastically.

"It really will be the end of yours once this battle is over," replied Blackfire.

Terra realized that she had an advantage. "Well, we're at the woods. Plenty of things made of Earth! I think this will be fun."

"Snowflake vs. Veronica!" boomed the Master of Games.

"Hi. Good luck! You'll need it," said Snowflake.

"I highly doubt that," said Veronica. "Embrace yourself, ice princess."

"Right. You know, for a supposed fire queen, you're not so hot!" said Snowflake. "Ooh! We're at Antarctica! Perfect."

"Quiet human," shouted Veronica. "Let's skip to the fighting."

"You know, you creations are quite tasty," said Starfire. Caramel has just zapped some random things with blasts from her right index finger, the color of caramel. She missed Starfire, who had fast reflexes. "Unfortunately for you, my abilities are not as sweet."

She shot a couple of starbolts, but Caramel flipped away and blocked every attack. She had steel wrapped around her wrists as well. She managed to block two, but they melted the steel off.

"I see I underestimated you alien," said Caramel. "However, you are underestimating me as well. You see, I can turn you to caramel too."

"Try," said Starfire. She flew high into the air, dodging every attack except for one which melted a strand of hair.

"Eep!" shrieked Starfire. She was definitely not hurt, but surprised. She did manage to eat the caramel goodness. Starfire was so surprised that she fell to the ground. Caramel used this advantage to tackle her. She was about to change Starfire to caramel, but Starfire quickly recovered and zapped Caramel with eyebolts.

She used her alien strength to take Caramel clean off her. She held Caramel in her grasp and flew to the air with Caramel in her hand. She shot a starbolt at Caramel, strong enough to win but too weak to kill her: just what Starfire needed.

"Winner: Starfire!" boomed the Master of Games. Caramel was gone in a zap of light.

"Where did she go?" asked Starfire to herself.

Jinx quickly threw a hex at Raven. Raven dodged it and levitated in the air.

"Azereth metrion zinthos!" Black energy blasted from her hands, aiming for Jinx. Jinx was quick and cartwheeled out of harm's way.

"Bird brain's wings seem to be injured! She's rather slow today," said Jinx. "I'll pretend I care." She looked thoughtful for a minute. "That was fun, but now I'm done."

"Close your wretched mouth," muttered Raven. She blasted more black energy at Jinx, but Jinx dodged easily. Raven was losing concentration and control.

"Birdie lost her wing!" she said in a singsong voice. "Or did this outcast gothic birdie geek have any wings at all? You certainly can't soar for the stars!"

Raven was angry. Raven was hardly ever angry. When Raven is angry, it's bad news!

"Quiet, human!" she said in a demonic voice. She had four scarlet eyes and increased in sized, with black tentacles peeking out underneath.

"Eek!" shrieked Jinx. She was being pulled by the tentacles underneath Raven's cloak.

Jinx blanked out from shock. That was when Raven gained control of herself again.

"Dad? For once, thanks," muttered Raven.

"Winner, Raven!" said the Master of Games. Jinx was gone.

"So, you are Starfire's sister?" asked Terra. "Funny. You two are like opposites."

"I take that as a compliment," replied Blackfire shooting purple starbolts from her hands.

"Wow! I never knew anyone related to Star can act so pathetic," said Terra. She hopped on a boulder and flew to the sky, dodging the starbolts.

"I can't believe anyone related to me can be so pathetic," replied Blackfire. She hurtled more starbolts at Terra, who managed to block all but one. That one starbolt managed to knock Terra off the boulder, but she was not severely hurt. She recovered last minute and hopped on another boulder. She summoned a bunch of rocks and hurtled them at Blackfire. Blackfire avoided them all, and having alien strength, punched a few of them back at Terra.

Terra summoned those boulders back at Blackfire. Blackfire managed to avoid all but one, which hit her straight in the stomach. She moaned and fell to the ground. Terra thought of this as an advantage, so she tumbled several boulders on top of Blackfire. She hovered over her.

"Not so cocky now, huh?" she asked.

"Never underestimate me," replied Blackfire. She shot eyebeams with all her strength. Terra was knocked unconscious. Then, Blackfire used her alien strength to take all the boulders off herself.

"Winner: Blackfire!" boomed the Master of Games.

Snowflake summoned some water from a nearby lake and splashed Veronica with it. Veronica, who was accustomed to warm climate in Mars was shivering like crazy, and an extra splash of freezing water was not helping much.

She shot fireballs from her hands, but Snowflake summoned a water shield, and since water can put out fire, it was ineffective.

"Okay, so I won't be able to use my superpowers. I am still pretty flexible," said Veronica.

Snowflake levitated some sharp ice into the air and shot it straight at Veronica. Veronica flipped her way to Snowflake, dodging the ice and punched Snowflake in the stomach.

"Ooh! That hurt so much! You're going down!" said Snowflake.

The problem with Snowflake was that she had slow reflexes. Therefore, Veronica dodged each attack with ease.

"Like taking candy from a baby," said Veronica. She delivered a few more punches and with a final kick, Snowflake grew weak. Finally, a fireball formed in Veronica's hand. It aimed for Snowflake's chest. Snowflake was too weak to summon water to block it, so she got hit and was knocked out.

"Winner: Veronica!" boomed the Master of Games again. Snowflake disappeared.

Starfire, Raven, Blackfire, and Veronica were teleported back in the main room.

"Congratulations. You survived the first round," said the Master of Games.

"Survived? What happened to the others?" asked Raven.

"They have been safely returned home. Relax, young champions. Survived is merely an expression," said the Master of Games. "For now, get some rest. Tomorrow, you will be even harder competition."

The four were teleported to their dorms.

"Looks like Snowflake, Jinx, Terra, and Caramel's powers are in here safe and sound," said the Master of Games when they were teleported. He turned a nearby annoying mosquito to caramel and licked it. "Excellent."
