Chapter II
New friends?
"Trouble!" Robin, leader of the Teen Titans, yelled out. The other Titans, Raven, Moonfire, Beast Boy, and Cyborg, all ran in the large room Robin was in inside of their home, the Titans Tower. Robin was standing in front of what looked like a huge computer. He typed something into the keyboard below it and a map was pulled up. A small red blinking dot sat of center. They all took a second to look at the map then quickly ran out of the door.
"Do you happen to know what this source of trouble may be, friend Robin?" Starfire called to the boy running below her. Starfire was flying along with Raven and Beast Boy, who was transformed into a large bird. Robin and Cyborg were running on the ground. Robin was running as fast as he could toward the large building the dot on the map had been on. He yelled up to her when he ran.
"I'm not sure, but we don't know what Slade's doing, so we should be careful." Starfire bit her lip. 'Careful?' she thought, 'He's never careful. Especially around Slade. Oh, I hope it is not he.' She lowered to the ground when the approached the building. It was big, gray, and cement. There was a large hole in the building, but not many other visible openings; except for many small holes. They ran through the hole, hearing voices not far off inside.
As they walked deeper into the building, it got darker and colder. They could hear the unsteady dripping of water not far off. They saw a turn, and what looked like a dead end farther up, so they took the turn, completely missing the camoflauged door in the other wall.
Moonfire started cringing from the pain she was enduring to keep up her wall. Her mumbling of unearthly words was shaking, as if she was almost depleted of energy. She just had a wierd feeling that she could not let the man in the mask to reach her...or Azarin, her new friend. The odd man was pounding on her wall, and it was not helping her concentration. She focused on her chanting, and she knew she had almost no time, and there was a overpowering chance she would pass out if she kept up the shield for much longer.
"Waha neno jeero kah, waha neno jeero kah, waha neno jeero kah." she continued up her chant. It was burning in her chest now. She needed more air, but her quick breaths inbetween her chants were not sufficient.
Azarin looked at her and saw how she was cringing and pain was etched on her face. "Moonfire...are you alright?" She could not stop her chanting so she gave a quick nod. He saw her strain and her wall was shaking. 'That can't be good...' he thought.
As if in one quick motion, Moonfire collapsed and her wall was completly gone. She fell to the ground and the unknown man laughed. "Nice try." he said in a horribly icy tone. Azarin stared at him curiously. The man laughed his hideous laugh once again and elbowed him in his chest and knocked him over. Azarin steadied himself just in time to see the man lifting Moonfire into the air with an arm around her neck. He ran toward the man and tackled him to the ground. He pulled back his arm and it glowed black. His eyes lost their dark blue color and turned completly red. He brought him fist in contact with the man's chin and a large explosion seemed to blast from his fist. It reverberated around the walls. The walls began to shake and there was a large crack growing across all of them.
Robin, Starfire, Beast boy, and Cyborg were all completely lost. They were not finding any of the people they had heard. Beast Boy had transformed into a dog so he could follow the scent. "Dudes, I think we're going the wrong way." he said after he turned back human.
Robin looked exasperated. "Well, there was no other place we could go! There were no other doors!" he yelled angrily.
"Then we'll just have to make one!" Cyborg yelled out, his arm transforming to his plasma cannon. He blasted a large hole into the wall. yelling out, "Boo-yah!" Bad idea. The wall bagan to crack and the whold thing began to collapse. The added pressure of the already existing crack from Azarin, which the Titans were unaware of, and the hole Cyborg made caused the wall to loose all stability.
Azarin looked up when he heard the wall falling over and this gave Slade a chance to shove Azarin away from him. Azarin crashed into the other wall, which also began to collapse. He sat there, dazed, until he realized his predicament. The whole building was collapsing! They were going to be crushed by litterally tons of concrete if he didn't get himself and Moonfire out of here. He couldn't leave her. She had protected him. He tried to stand up and he almost fell over from light-headedness. His eyes went wide when he heard a call, "Titans, Go!" It was the call of what he figured was his saviors, and the one he had been looking for...
