A/N: I know, I know, too long a wait. DON'T BADDGAR ME, (very pissy mood today, family won't stop fighting, I suppose it is because of the damn snow day at the end of MARCH! Damn weather) Anyways, Here we go, life as usual, nothing to do so I write something that if my family found out about they would never let me live it down. Yep my family's a bunch of Fucking jocks, people who NEVER stop making fun of me, even when they're my relatives. Well enough of me going on about nothing, on with the story!
Disclaimer: I don't own them...those...Um...Super Heroes? Don't seem so super to me...
Chapter 7: The Flashing Lights
The robot's charged forward in perfect military fashion. Left, right, left- they were a non-stopping force that, without Robin, Aqualad, and Starfire, they had no chance of defeating. They tried anyway, they all rushed forward. Each taking five robots, they didn't know how to handle Starfire; they let her watch as their slow but inevitable defeat took shape. Cyborg was shooting off five robots at a time and would have finished of the whole "army" if more didn't keep coming, adding two robots for each one that was destroyed.
Bumble bee kept stinging the damn androids but she didn't know how conquer them and every time she stung them they would just get back up and keep coming after. She finally gave up on stinging them and decided to just punch their heads as hard as she could.
Beastboy went full T-rex on their asses. (A/N: robotic asses, hmmm sounds "fun") He kept ripping off their heads, hitting them with his tail and crushing them under his feet. (A/N: claws, feet whatever) Then he turned into a gorilla and started throwing things at them, anything he could get his hands on, the couches and chairs, other robots, EVERYTHING was a projectile for Beastboy.
Raven left the robots to the boys and bumble bee, even though they needed her help, and flew to fight Starfire. Just as she left the ground she felt a metallic hand grab her ankle. She looked down just in time to be thrown to the ground, her head hitting it with a thunderous boom. Then the androids began to pummel her, they were tackling her, and punching the living daylight out of her. She tried to stop them, but they just kept punching her, blood started to spurt out everywhere, her mouth, nose, eye sockets, it didn't look good. They were killing her; every time she began to speak she would be punched again.
Bumble bee, Beastboy and Cyborg were fighting so hard they didn't hear Raven's agonizing screams. When they finally thinned out the robot's numbers they ran over to a group of robots, not knowing why they were in a group. Only then did they finally hear Raven's strangled screams...
"HELP, OH GOD, HELP ME, please, cough, I can't breath, hel-" Once he heard her voice asking for help, Beastboy freaked out and started ripping off robot heads with his HUMAN hands.
"That's it my minions, kill her, kill her then kill her boyfriend!" Starfire was struggling to scream, but Slade kept pulling her back into the darkness that was her own mind. Raven's screams, the ones Starfire feared the most, had stopped and the robots were no longer a threat. There were only ten left, which Cyborg took care of easily. Among the mess of metallic body parts and quickly sparking blue flames Beastboy stood. He did not kneel, or cry, he just stood. He was having trouble dealing with what was set before him.
"Cyborg is she..." Bumblebee asked, uncertain of what to say.
"Holding on by a thread? Yes. We have to help her, Move her to the infirm-"
"FRIENDS, take Robin and Raven and get out of here NOW!" They looked up to see Starfire was the one who burst through their conversation.
"NO Titans, stay where you are. Enjoy the site of Raven dying," Starfire was struggling to be heard and not taken over by the darkness, by Slade.
"Friends, please, RUN NOW!"
"NO silly girl, You DO NOT refuse me power!" With that Starfire (Slade) blazed a burning green star-bolt and blasted everyone out of the tower, including the two unconscious teens.
They all landed in the middle of the city, except Starfire, she floated above the scene of people running for their lives. She smirked, she was beginning to like those petrified screams, the sound of feet hitting the pavement hard and fast.
'No Starfire, you do NOT like those sounds, you try to protect those sounds. You try to protect those people.' Starfire thought to herself, she couldn't begin to turn evil, not now; she was so close to winning, so close to getting out of the god awful prison she now inhabited.
Robin, although the blast should have kept him unconscious, began to convulse and shake and he suddenly woke up. He looked around him, desolation every where he turned, 'a twisted view on realty... or maybe this IS realty.' He thought to himself, he began to hear cries of sorrow. He saw Beastboy at Raven's side trying to wake her up as he heard raspy, struggled breaths.
"No, not again, no you don't, you can't. You...wouldn't leave me...would you? Don't go..." Beastboy's eyes began to fill as his hands lightly shook the dark angel. Robin looked to the sky, only to be confronted with the demented vision of his love, ready to strike him with the utmost force.
"This has gone far enough, Slade. Let her go, let us live. We don't want to fight anymore." Robin looked defiant as he said the words woefully; it wasn't a defiant thing to say, why should he like it was? To him it was giving in, giving up, something that the infamous Robin was not known for. At the state of his team though, he couldn't let them continue fighting, he couldn't let them destroy themselves further. They wouldn't win or lose; they would be dead in the end.
"The Boy Wonder, surrendering so easily? Sad, you HAVE gotten soft. Haven't you little Dickie. Oops, I just can't keep my mouth shut can I?" Starfire cackled like a wretched old witch, it was so much different than her usual wind chime giggle. Robin was infuriated at being called soft, he couldn't stand it.
'When have I ever been soft, there is only one soft spot in my heart and it is there because...of...her.' He realizedsomething; he couldn't defeat his only soft spot, he just wasn't physically able, 'She isn't a soft spot anymore, Robbie Boy, she's an enemy.' He couldn't help but wince at two things that spawned from his thoughts; Starfire as an enemy, and...Robbie Boy.
"Slade, come here and fight like a man, don't use some puppet, even though that was all you were ever good at. You're just a coward in a mask." Robin taunted, knowing Slade would take the challenge.
"Coward, eh, takes one to know one, Dickie."
"Oh please, that come back was SO third grade. Oh that's right; you never made it past the third grade." That had done it, Slade was furious.
"You, how dare you call me stupid? You are but a mere child!" Starfire charged at Robin. But stopped suddenly as blue and red flashing lights began to color the scene.
"Robin, you are under arrest for man slaughter." A hulky police officer said as he came out of a police car with his badge exposed. Behind him a prison transport appeared, with another un-countable amount of police cars arriving after it.
A new police man and prison transport AND police squadron appeared, the police man stepped out of his car badge at the ready, "Starfire, you're also under arrest for man slaughter." He held up a gun aiming carefully.
BANG
Something had hit him with an immeasurable amount of force. "Don't you dare touch her, she didn't kill that girl, Slade did."
"How did Slade-?"
"He has control of her and she can't get it back. Do you really think Starfire would kill someone?" Beastboy stood up, after bowling over the police officer he felt dizzy.
"No, but we didn't think Robin would kill Aqualad either."
"True," Beastboy answered nonchalantly, "But you don't know him the way I do. Aside from that, we need some ambulances, we have one casualty and she looks to be in critical condition." He looked over at the blue cloaked girl who lay motionless on the ground.
"Of course, she doesn't look good at all," Then a sound filled the ears of the police officer, "HEY, what is he doing?" Robin threw a smoke disk at the police officer and it exploded in his face. The police officer, the one who was holding Robin, punched Robin's face and a loud crack was heard, like the sound of bone breaking.
"OH GOD, you broke my hand!" The police officer's hand was misshapen and he looked to be in severe pain.'
"Don't punch me then." Robin ran hard and fast, but when he got near Starfire he was surrounded by armed guards. One reached out and ripped off his utility belt, "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING? I need that!" Robin was on the edge of rampaging, and giving up. 'Pff, giving up isn't even an option.' He kicked the guard who took his utility belt in the balls. But when his metal tipped boot reached the man's crotch a loud 'THUNK' could be heard.
"Part of the uniform, don't want any guards being taken down that easily now do we?" the guard smiled cynically, he ran forward and stopped Robin's hand an inch from his face, "Hey if I knew being a super hero was this easy, I would of become one a LONG time ago." The guard twisted Robin's hand in the most uncomfortable position possible. Behind his back and turned upward, Robin winced at the pain entering both his hand and arm. Since he was only an armed guard he didn't carry hand cuffs so he held Robin's behind his back. Tens of other guards started to pull Robin back and the rest of the police officers and guards, not believing Beastboy's explanation of the night's events, aimed guns even flares at the Alien Princess floating above them.
"No," came the barely audible whisper from Robin's mouth as he forgot about his own troubles and focused directly on her.
"STARFIRE!" His lungs were burning and he felt his voice slipping away but he wouldn't stop trying to get to her. He struggled against the armed guards and police officers who were pulling him away. Every time he got something free it would be pulled back, at last he got himself out of the hands of the strong police officers' and reached his right hand out to her.
"STARFIRE STOP! Don't kill another innocent person, don't be like me! Save yourself, Star! GET OFF OF ME I NEED TO HELP HER! STAR! SSSTTTAAARRRFFFIIIRRREEE! NO NO DON'T TAKE ME AWAY I NEED HER!"
He was pushed roughly into the back of a prison transport and he rose back up to bang on the bars of it as it raced away, "DON'T HURT HER! I BEG YOU, DON'T HURT HER!" He was screaming and his voice finally faded to nothing but a rasp and as Starfire moved out of eyeshot he saw guns begin to fire and it seemed like fireworks were going off in the distance. "No, no don't kill her. I'll have nothing to live for if you do, don't kill her. Please. ARGG" He let out an agonizing groan as he slid down the door, his hands sliding down after him. Behind him a bulky armed guard held a blue glowing staff.
"Sit Down and shut up, Boy Wonder! You and Your Girlfriend are getting exactly what you deserve. I can't believe we trusted the city to you freaks!" He grumbled on and on about how the police force was just fine the way it was, but his ranting fell on deaf ears as Robin slid into obis.
