Chap. 13 Failure
((A/N: IF YOU SO HATE ME AND MY STORIES, DO NOT READ THEM OR FLAME ME… LIKE the CLORBAG-VARBLERNELK, jinx the sorceress, did. JEALOUS PROBABLY… but; I DO NOT CARE, I CAN DO BETTER.))
She returned to Slade's lair.
"Starcat!" X yelled. "I couldn't get into the tower, and you were locked in! Well at least you got out."
She walked up to Slade, and threw at him an empty bottle and glared, but with a smirk.
"You ungrateful little brat!" Slade yelled as he pulled out a button to shock Starcat. He pressed it hard, but nothing happened. She held out her hand and opened it; the black collar and gem were smashed to pieces. She blew them into the wind and out of the way. She grabbed the Slade symbols on her uniform, she crushed them into dust.
Slade yelled as he ran for her. She slid between his legs, turned around, and with all her might… That strong little kitty kicked his back as he flew into a wall. Red X ran behind. She lightly but quickly jumped and did a flip. Her feet kicked him in the jaw, and she jammed her head in his stomach. He fell trying to grab air. He finally got his breath again, and two X blades appeared out of his hands. Before he could turn them like saws, Starcat did a handstand on them, and then jumped off with them. He was shocked.
Starcat threw the X's at Slade, but he blocked them with his arms. Slade ran after her but Red X was closer, X pulled out a bow-staff. Starcat punched him from behind, grabbed the staff, and whipped him over her shoulder. Her tail wrapped around it, Slade was close enough. She slid around the staff, and coming at Slade, was a big boot into his face. He yelled as he fell back.
She walked up to his face, he seemed to be K.O. But suddenly he grabbed Starcat's neck; she gasped for air and coughed. He reached into X's belt and grabbed super sticky X's. He X'd her feet with her tail, and hands. He walked with her up the stairs, she hissed in his face like a cat.
He kicked a door open with his foot into a room with gears, and a huge clock. Wait, this isn't some kind of dark dungeon or tunnel… It's a clock-tower! She thought. (A/N: No, it is not Big Ben… lol)
"I'm sure you'll be nice and COZY here, dear little apprentice." Slade hissed.
He Tied her in a chair. The clock was like a window, she could see the city.
Well at least you can not work and succeed the time machine… She thought.
"I will get out and be victorious… The Titans will too! We'll all bring you down…" She hissed back. Slade slapped her, "Nice threat, but it's not true, and it's not going to happen…" 2 symbols ((Like from Birthmark… hisses…)) formed on his hands. He squeezed Starcat's arms again. More burns and bruises. Her whole body was starting to turn white. She had lost almost all of her strength and powers. She was now weak. Failure fell into her skin; she was a failure of a villainess, a hero… a Titan…
Slade sprayed a gas in her face. Starcat felt dizzy and everything was blurry. It all looked up-side down and confusing. She tried to call the wind, but nothing came. Obviously Slade's gas would poison her powers so she could not use them.
Tye dropped in from the shadows; he luckily passed by Slade, but not for long. He crouched down below Cat and gazed at her with a sly smile. She opened her eyes and gasped, but was cut off by his hand. He started to untie her until he heard hands slowly clapping. He turned to find Slade behind him. Slade send a punch at him. Tye screamed as he flew into a wall. Dust blocked everybody's vision. Tye got up and felt Slade grab his arm and twisted it behind his back, hard. He threw a kick into Tye's back while still holding him. Slade let go and flipped up into the bars and gears. He then jumped and smashed his big metal boots into Tye's back.
The dust cleared and Starcat could see what Slade was doing. All these horrible things she was seeing, it was going to haunt her forever! Slade kept on beating him up. She saw a little blood flow from his mouth, and bruises on his cheek. Tears started to run down his and her face. Staining both of their cheeks. Starcat's tears were blinding her, her anger and depression level rising in her core. She shut her eyes tight and gripped her fists. Slade heard a cracking sound and turned to Starcat. His eye(s) widened. Starcat's powers were coming back, her apprentice outfit started to crack then the chair! She glowed white, her whole body! There was a explosion and she was floating in the air. Her blue eyes opened.
She separated her hands far, and then smacked them hard together. Wind spirals shot out. Her claws grew longer, and she threw out her hands towards Slade, wind blades flew from the tips of her nails. They cut at Slade's suit, doing total damage. She made a tornado confuse him. Slade was so distracted he didn't notice his body started to glow black and white. Tye threw him into the floor. It cracked as Starcat put more oxygen pressure on him. Tye covered Slade with giant pieces of broken wall. Starcat was still angry, and once again, could not control it. She froze floating in the air, hard gusts of wind everywhere. I will never forget what I saw…. Ever… Tye flew up to her and put his hands on his shoulders.
Starcat was too blind by her anger to see what was happening. She pushed his hands off. Tye grabbed them again but a little harder. Starcat felt the pain in her bruises. Tye could see her fangs gritting. Her powers became fiercer than ever! Tye thought for a moment then looked at her lips. He gently pressed his lips to them then, flash! A blinding light filled the whole room, than faded slowly.
No, I did not make that song up. It is from Evanescence.
