Hello, i am going to make this along chapter because it's 7 in the morning and i have no school and that gives me all day to write a chapter, yay!

Well then it is sooo damn early, yawn, but i am writing this because i can't sleep anymore, even if i've only been asleep for three hours. I blame it on Teen Titans for being so good, ok i am completely obbsesed and its driving me up the wall ( look i am walking on the wall, lol... ahem) when i wake up its the first thing to pop into my head, i think about it all day, i even zone out sometimes until one of my friends hit me over the head, every thing reminds of them in some way and it is the reason i have sleeping problems, making me stay up until 3 in the morning thinking about the eps or the comic or the pairings or just them. Oh and for some reason or another i keep wanting to cry for no reason at all not that would be affected by teen titans but whatever. Well sorry about that heres chapter 10 ( I can't belive it chapter 10 already),

Rise of the Fallen

Chapter 10: Decision time.

Robin stired on the tower floor as he opened his eyes to a very dark hall way. Sitting up he remembered how he had got there and jumped to his feet, immedeatly faling back down again as pain surged through his left leg. Before he went anywhere he needed to go to the infirmary. He wrapped up his leg messily, Raven would have been doing this if she was here, but she wasn't so his bad attempt would have to do. There was a reason for it being so messy, his mind was far from the task of wrapping up his leg, ' Which one? The first one sounded way too easy, especialy for Slade, so the second option seams to be the right one. But what if thats what Slade wants me to think, damn, why can't i just live a normal life with a family and friends who will never be taken away from me?" A couple of tears had found their way from under his mask. He wipped them away and headed for the door, his mind made up, he knew which one his was going for, option two.

It was the only one that made sense, Slade never gave anything away easily and option one seemed way too easy. But guilt built its self up in side his heart. What if they were waiting for him some where, in a dark, horrible, vile room, waiting for him to save them. Little did he know how right he was, the team were waiting for him and so was Raven. What if option one was the right choice, it didn't matter now it was too late, he had waited just over twenty-five minutes and was about to set of for the down town bank. He would do anything to have his friend back. Anything.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Cyborg, Starfire and BeastBoy hadn't spoken for hours. Two of them couldn't stand the silence much longer, bt none of them wanted to brake it. Cyborg gave Star the best smile he could before turning to face his green friend,

" So you think Robin will be here soon? 'cause these metal strips arn't doing wonders for me" He laughed slightly. They always joked about important things, its what they did to stay calm, after all they were only teenagers. Even if their lives were at stake, they had to joke about it to stop themselves from braking down. All of them valued life more than anything because each of them had been through life threataning accedents. Cyborg's mum was a scientist, she let something get out of hand and something from another dimention attacked her and her son, then know as Victor stone. It killed her and seriously injured Victor, he should have died, but his father re-built him, replacing damaged parts with robotic ones. When Victor woke up and found himself like that he hated his father and wished more than anything that he had died. Victor left home and became known as Cyborg when he joined the titas. After realising that life was worth living he vowed to save anyone who needed saving. So what happened when he needed saving?

" I am sure that friend Robin will be here soon to kick Slade in the butt" Starfire said in answer to Cyborg also trying to cheer her friends up, but it wasn't working, it just brought back memories of before this had happened, when they were all happy,

Flashback:

" Oh Robin, thank you" Starfire squeled as she opened her present. It was a cute little pink bunny with a bow tied around one of the ears.

" Your welcome Star, merry christmas" Robin smiled as he recived a huge bone crushing hug and a box wrapped in shinny red wraping paper. Before opening it he watched Starfire play with her bunny,

" Hello my name is Mr. fluffy, nice to meet you" She said in a slightly deeper voice than her own, then saying normay, " Hello Mr. fluffy, i am named Starfire" She smiled and continued talking to her self. Robin laughed and than turned to his present... it had gone. He stood up and looked around, he found it in the hands of BeastBoy. Cyborg was standing next to him watching as BeastBoy shook the box in an attempt to find out what was inside it. Robin raised an eyebrow before saying,

" You know guys if you really want to know what is in it why dont you just let me open it?" Both BeastBoy and Cyborg looked at each other, shrugged and threw the parcel to Robin. Sitting back down Robin began to rip off the paper, behind it was a blue box with a note stuck to it. It said,

Merry Christmas, friend Robin

Hope you like it

love Starfire

xxxxxx

Ignoring the snickers that BeastBoy and Cyborg were imiting he opened the box. Inside it lay a red gem, shaped like a robin with its wings out spred, its eyes gleamed with two black stones. Robin sudenly felt guilty for only buying Star a teddy, but it soon washed away when he saw how happy she was with it. Picking him self up off the ground he walked towards Starfire and gave her hug,

" Thanks Star" Starfire smiled widely and hugged back saying,

" It is ok Robin, merry christmas"

" Alright ya'll, sorry to brake you to up but we got a christmas dinner to make" Cyborg shouted his voice filled with happeness.

" Yeah and that means, since its christmas and all, i get a tofu meal" BeastBoy exlaimed happily.

" Alright B, but only today" Cyborg smacked BeastBoy over the head with a present and headed to the kitchen. BeastBoy ripped off the wrapping paper and pulled a new game complete with a note,

You and me. Tonight. All night. Competition.

Get ready to get your butt kicked.

Better get practicing

Merry Christmas, BB

Cyborg.

" Oh your on, tin man" BeastBoy said as he ran over to the gamestation to play his new game.

" Bring it on" Cyborg shouted back as he put a turkey in the oven along with some tofu.

" Hey your present is under the tree, the one labeled Big Blue" BeastBoy smiled before he paid all his attention to the screen. Cyborg growled a bit at the nick name but opened it none the less. Inside was a dictionary.

" Hey what is that suppose to mean?" Cyborg yelled at BeastBoy

" Dude open it" BeastBoy said as if it was obvious. Upon opening it Cyborg found a note,

You better be thankfull for this i went through a lot

of trouble to do this.

Read it if you want your real present.

BB.

Cyborg moved the note and looked at the pages. It was a normal dictionary. Until he flicked through it. He came to a number of yellow pages, on them was instructions like ' start at the tree and turn north-west' or ' walk forward until you hit a wall and turn left' Cyborg began to follow the directios wanting his real present. Robin was trying to explain about christmas to Starfire who thought that it was the earth festaval of blorthog.

" Oh so thats what it is. Thank you friend Robin. I am going to see if friend Raven will join us in this wonderful celebration" Star said after Robin was finished

" Err, Star? Maybe we should just leave her alone, you know how she feels about christmas" Robin tried to reason with her,

" No one should be alone, especialy not on christmas day" Star said as she left the room in search of her dark friend.

" Azerath, Metrion, Zinthos. Azerath, Metrion, Zin..." Ravens chant was interupted by Starfires voice behind her.

" Friend you should not be on the roof in such cold conditions, please come in side and join us by the tree of christmas" Starfire said hugging herself in an attampt to get warm. Snow had blanketed the city and the roof of titans tower. A considerable amount of snow was clinging to Raven aswell, this made Star wonder how long she had been up here.

" Thanks Star, but i think i'll stay here" Raven's usual voice spoke back

" Then i shall stay up here as well and keep you company" Starfire smiled taking to the air and sitting beside Raven. Raven turned her head and looked at her friends warm smile, she didn't say anything but Star saw the look on her face and it said thank you.

End Flashback.

How different this christmas was to last years. There was no presents, no christmas tree, no christmas dinner and no Raven to cheer up. Slade chose to walk in to the room at this point and went straight back to the weapons wall.The only one to notice Slade's presance was Cyborg because he was the only one not really deep in thought. Glancing over to Star and BB he soon realised that they had noticed, they just didn't care. Slade picked up a similer sword to the one he had earlier and slowly made his way towards Cyborg. Cyborg began to panic, none of the titans in the room knew his weakness, only Robin and Raven knew it because they formed the titans. Slade was walking extremely slow and it wasn't helping Cyborg, he just wanted all this to be over. However when Slade finaly did reach him, Cyborg wanted him to still be walking. Slade smiled behind his mask at the fear in the human eye of his captive. Placing the sword to the living side of Cyborgs neck Slade asked the question all knew would come,

" Starfire, what is Cyborg's weakness?" Starfires mind was all over the place. She had lost Raven and Robin already and knew that the life of aother one of her friends lay on her shoulders. But she couldn't give Slade what he wanted because she didn't know his weakness herself. But Slade wouldn't belive her if she told him that. Time was running out. Sweat dripped down both Cyborg's and Strarfire's faces. Starfire's eyes however were over flowing with tears.

" I... I... I dont know" Starfire sobbed, thinking that this would be the end of her friend she screamed loudly as her heart ached. Crying uncontrolably she fell short of words and didn't dare to look at Cyborg. BeastBoy however had now looked up and saw Slade pushing the blade in to Cyborgs neck. A tear fell from his green eyes for his friend before shouting,

" His dad, its his dad. Please leave him alone now, let us go." Slade stopped pushing the sword and let it drop to the floor, turning around to face BeastBoy his cold voice was heard with a pleased sound,

" Thank you. I was worried that this would be over for your friend and i would have one less person to torture" Slade left the room leaving the teens to cry. All of them were now crying, even Cyborg, his tears mixing with his fresh blood and dripping to the floor. They all needed saving and only one person could do that now. They were all thinking the same thing: Please hurry up Robin.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Robin had arrived at the bank ten minutes ago and was looking for this paice of paper. ' Oh man where is this paice of paper? I've looked every where. Eccept inside... thats it they want me to brake in to the bank. Damn how stupid am i. I have to remember that they are the bad guys. But if they think that braking into the bank will stop, they better think again. I can say that a thief was in here after all i am a super hero.' With this Robin jumped on to the roof of the building and pulled out a bird-a-rang. Using the blade of it he cut in to the roof and opened a small hole, just big enough for him to squeeze into. Once inside he used a few more bird-a-rangs to take out the camaras dotted about the room. As soon as he walked up to the front desk he saw a piece of paper, upon reading it he knew it was the right one it said,

Hey kid didn't think you'd pick the harder one.

014649285

Better hurry kid they die in ten minutes.

Robin's eyes widened, he ran quickly to the hole he had mad and climbed through it still holding the paper in his hand. He used his grapple hook to fly on to a nearby roof. He ran franticly jumping over gaps in the buildings using his grapple where needed. He had to get to the... south side. He didn't know where, he stopped and looked around, he was nearing the coast. The smell hit him first and then the crashing of waves. He could see Titans tower gleamed in the distance if he looked behind him. But as he turned to look in front of himself again, he was met by a metal boot connectig with his head sending him flying across the building, landing and then sliding to the very edge. Just as he was about to fall the metal boot stood on Robin's arm preventing him from falling, but creating immense pain in the arm. Robin looked up in to the boot owners face. Slade's mask staired back at him, before the other metal boot slammed in to Robin's face knocking him unconscious.

Robin's head was pounding, but that wasn't what had woken him,

" Friend Robin... you are ok" Starfire's voice was hoarse through crying and was lacking the joy and happiness that made Stars voice what it was.

" Come on man wake up" Cyborgs was also filled with pain and sorrow as was BeastBoy's,

" Dude what happened?" Robin could only let out a groan and then open his eyes. He could only smile at what he saw. His friends. He had found them even if he was now a prisoner like them, he was glad to see them and they were glad to see him.

" Hay, how did i get here?" Robin asked as the smile left his face.

" Slade" Starfire answered. Thats where Robin noticed the blood on their necks and how BeastBoy's and Cyborg's were cut.

" What happened? Why do..." Robin began asking but Cyborg answered before he could finish

" Slade used each of us against another to get our weaknesses, only Star didn't get her neck cut because BB answered so quickly" BeastBoy looked the worst, he was a very pale green and his eyes looked clouded over. His face showed pain an betrayal, but suprisingly he didn't look angry, or scared, he actualy looked as if he thought he disearved this. BeastBoy hadn't talked about his past since the titans had been founded.

" BeastBoy, what ever you do, don't think that you disearve this." Robin had to say some thing to him, he couldn't see his friend like this. It wasn't the BeastBoy that he knew and he didn't like it one bit.

" Easy for you to say. I have been letting people down all my life, i let my parents down when they needed me most, i just sat there like a little kid and let them die. I let the team down all the time, i can't keep up with you, i'm not strong enough. I let Terra down. That's the worse thing that i have ever done, i let her down and now shes dead. I disearve this Robin for all the things i've done to the people that i love. You guys are my family and i hate it when i hold you back or slow you down. I can never forgive myself for my mistakes. I had options, i chose the wrong ones" BeastBoy was now sobbing uncontrolably and was upsetting every one else the way he was crying. They had never seen past his jokes and his easy going attitude, if they had they might have seen his hurt. Robin was slightly confused. How had this resurfaced? Cyborg answered this,

" I... I told Slade that, Terra was his weakness" Cyborg had tears streaming down his face. BeastBoy's crying got worse as Terra's name was mentioned. BeastBoy was thinking ' No. please make the pain stop. Just make it go away, i can't take it anymore. I'm so sorry Terra, Robin, Raven, Starfire and Cyborg, i am so sorry'

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Raven was being held by Red X as Slade gave her the shot that she had every day, the one that kept her alive when she should be dead. She didn't move when the needle broke her skin, it didn't hurt any more, only one thing hurt now, her heart. She had left so many things unsaid, so many things that she wanted to do and none of them were possible now. She had truly thought that Robin had understood, that he knew more about her than any one else, that he cared. He had been the reason she bothered to get up in the morning, his smile warming her heart and giving her hope that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. The thought that he had been lying hurt too much, she was falling even deeper in to the dark and he wouldn't be there to help her back out again, she would be withdrawn from every one again and no body would care. They would call her creepy or not talk to her atall. Robin would find his happiness with Starfire, they would be happy together and she would be made to hurt forever. She would hide in the shadows and let them torment her with the things that she couldn't have. They would shove her out and pretend that she didn't exist. She would be forced to live alone. Tears were winding their way down her cheeks. This pain was far worse than anything Red X or Slade could inflict on her. She hadn't noticed that Red X and Slade had left the room. She knew that it was pointless to be upset about the past, no matter how much you hate the past it won't change. Her body ached as she sobbed on the floor pouring tears onto it instead of blood. The tears were cold on her face as they constantly dripped out of hers eyes.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
