1A/N: Yeah! I finished this chapter it took forever to figure out what to write. The battle scenes are not the best. I worked hard on them and tried to make them decent. Thanks for all the reviews they are really encouraging! I hope you enjoy this chapter!
Chapter 4
Everything stopped as Robin fell into the sand. He groaned and tried to move in the armor. Robin heard Starfire's voice as he tried to get back up. Browser let out a victory yell and audience cheered along with him. I have to get back up I can't lie here. Starfire he thought she counting on me and I gave her my promise.
"What is this young warrior's fate?" asked Matt to the audience.
"Death!" roared the audience and they all turned their thumbs down.
Starfire felt her heart in her throat and her breathing got heavy. Please Robin move thought Starfire. I do not want you to die.
Browser laughed and then started spinning the ball and chain down on Robin. The ball was going down to strike when Robin moved. The ball struck the sand and splashed up off the ground.
"Robin!" cried Starfire happily knowing he was alive.
Robin got up and flung his helmet off. He was soaking with sweat and his hair lay down no longer spiked up. (Kinda like in Haunted.) He drew his sword and was ready to fight Browser.
"Ready for real fight now?" asked Robin.
"You think you can beat me," said Browser laughing.
"Yeah I can because I fought guys like you before," said Robin.
Browser swung his weapon at Robin who deflected with shield. Browser suddenly threw the weapon away and another man threw him a sword. He smiled at Robin and then struck his sword at Robin who blocked it. There was clash of swords as Browser and Robin fought. Browser swung hard at Robin's feet and Robin jumped up.
"This is exciting!" exclaimed Matt as he watched them battle.
Rich stiffened as he watched Browser and Robin fight. Browser was overestimating his opponent in this match. He noted how Browser was losing his steam and would soon tire out. Then Robin would easily have the advantage. He watched his boss in front of him and then watched Robin.
Browser struck at Robin who had blocked him once again. The heat and the tiredness were washing over Browser. The little boy wasn't giving up and being defeated as quickly as he thought. He was getting mad and then he struck. The shield came up and Browser's sword was hit by Robin's sword. Then Browser's own sword fell to ground and he was going to grab it. Robin stopped him and held his sword up to the neck of Browser.
"Game over," said Robin.
Rich smiled just as he predicted Robin was the winner. Browser was defeated and now maybe he have chance with the Boy Wonder. Revenge would satisfy him so much. He heard the crowd booing as Robin then threw the sword down and looked up at Matt.
"Bravo! Bravo! Mr. Robin you are quite the performer! But you have yet to finish the game," said Matt.
Browser who suddenly free grabbed the sword and struck at Robin. Robin met his face with the shield. Browser fell to the ground and was knocked out. A group of men suddenly appeared and dragged the former champion out of the arena.
"Alright Rebel you've had your fun. I won't fight for you anymore!" yelled Robin.
"One more match Mr. Robin then I free you and your little friend," said Matt smiling. "Of course it would be tragedy to loose such a beautiful part of my collection."
"Starfire isn't part of your collection!" roared Robin he really hated Rebel right now.
Starfire remained quiet as she saw Robin's eyes narrowed as Matt spoke. The bracelet on her arm was the only thing holding her back from escaping.
"Robin please one more fight," said Starfire surprising herself and Robin in what she was saying.
"See even she agrees," said Matt as he touched her hand.
Starfire flinched at his touch and he removed his hand.
Then he leaned over and whispered in her ear. "Good choice my dear not that it matters death will have him tonight."
Starfire's eyes widened as she regretted what she had said. Rich came closer to her and Matt nodded his head.
"One word and he will die slow painful death," said Rich whispering to her then kissed her cheek.
"Get away from her!" yelled Robin.
Rich smirked as he went to stand in his spot and Robin's attention was Starfire. There was something in her eyes that told him something was wrong.
"Let this young warrior go through one more battle!" yelled Matt.
"Now this is going to be exciting," said Rich as he talked with his boss.
"Of course and we get rid of our little problem," said Matt.
The audience suddenly cheered and as Robin would face one more battle. Hopefully this would be the last one and Robin grabbed his sword. Matt's smile only appeared bigger on his face. There were four doors opening and roar came from one of them. Then out of the doors came four lions. There were three females and one male lion all of them wore chains around their necks. The females paced back and forth while the male watched. This wasn't what Robin had been thinking.
Starfire pulled on the bracelet again and she felt spark coming from it. She let out little eep and Matt looked at her. She hid bracelet from him and watched as the lions appeared. She had seen a lion before when Beast boy transformed into one. Robin was great warrior but even he couldn't beat them like this.
"Oh no," said Starfire quietly.
"Not what you excepted was it Mr. Robin?" said Matt. "You are problem that must be solved."
Robin gritted his teeth and prepared as the females started charging for him. They got very close before they were pulled back by the chain. He breathed a little and the females watched almost if they were amused at Robin.
Matt laughed as he saw Robin relieved for moment that female lions could not get him yet. He signaled for one of the lions to be released and the female charged at Robin.
"One of lions is released now my dear how good of warrior is your friend?" asked Matt.
Starfire didn't respond as she watched the lion and Robin squaring off. The lion lunged at Robin and Robin pushed him back with the shield. It didn't work the lion was still coming at him. He was being backed up into another lion. If he wasn't careful he would easily be killed and couldn't let that happen. There was one good thing that he had fought Beast boy in his lion form. Just as the lion was lunged he spun his sword and the lion fell. One down and three to go. He looked up at where Matt was sitting and saw him signal again for another lion to be released.
"Two this time Mr. Robin," said Matt.
"No!" said Starfire "Please stop this."
"You have no voice in this matter," said Matt.
Then all the sudden two lions were released on Robin. Starfire looked down in fear as the lions approached Robin. Two of them charged at him and Robin was knocked to the ground. They were clawing at him the armor was protecting most of what was happening.
"Robin!" cried Starfire only have her voice drowned out.
The audience roared with approval as the lions were on top of Robin. Robin kicked one of them away while other tried to grab his leg. The sword had been knocked from his hand and he tried to reach for it. The third lion was laying there watching the other two on Robin. His hand inched closer to the sword. Finally with the last bit strength he grabbed the sword and then struck at the nearest lion. The lion was struck and fell limp while the other lion came charging. The last female he missed and lion leaped on him.
"Aurgh!" yelled Robin as lion clawed him.
Then he struck the final female and the lion fell. Robin breathed with little relief and touched his shoulder. The final lion stood before him watching him. Just one more thought Robin, I can do this. He ready himself with his sword and shield as male lion let out a tremendous roar and was released.
Starfire had enough of this and Robin was injured. A little light came from her other hand and she smiled. She concentrated on the energy that wasn't being stopped by the bracelet. She had to save Robin and she had to escape. Then she finally had enough energy and broke off the bracelet. The bracelet fell to the ground and Starfire stood up.
"You will stop this fight," said Starfire as her hands and eyes glowed green.
Rich was ready to fight when Matt put his hand up. Starfire suddenly wasn't concerned with them and flew to Robin. Just as the lion charged he was blasted back by green blast. Starfire stood next to Robin and he smiled over at her. The lion was gone and Robin then slumped over.
"I'm okay Star. I'm okay," said Robin and kissed her cheek
"Robin?" asked Starfire as her voice began to fade.
"Well it seems our problem has only gotten bigger," said Matt.
"I'm the one was going to solve it," said Rich.
Okay! Not very good ending but this goes into the next chapter. I think that it will be the last chapter but I never know. Robin better watch his back because Rich really wants to 'solve this problem.' I hope you stay tuned for the final chapter of this story!
Later
