Robin started to think that night. 'Did they need weapons?' he thought to himself. They would be useful. But they had superpowers. He felt very tired and decided he would talk to the team about it tomorrow morning. And with that he switched off the light and went to bed.

The next morning, he woke up to find Cyborg and Starfire drawing pictures, no blueprints of………………weapons? Beastboy was advising and walking around them telling them what they needed to be good. "Uh…..what're you guys doing?" Beastboy replied in an excited voice.

"Weapons man! Isn't it obvious?" Robin looked dumbstruck. "But we don't need weapons, we have superpowers". They chose to ignore this and kept working. Robin had no choice but to follow along and began to work.

By the early afternoon they had finished blueprints of swords, bows, arrows and armor. They chose to work at night. Beastboy and Robin went into the city at night and stole steel ore which was melted down by Cyborg to make the shape of swords.

Starfire and Raven went around the edge of the city to find wood to make the bows, and arrows, which were also shaped by Cyborg. They had now made strong weapons. Starfire had taken the jewel off her neck collar, and fitted it into a small hole in Beastboy's bow handle. As she was not to use any of them, she thought that her loyalty lay with Beastboy, more than anything else.

The next morning the Robin and Beastboy tested out their weapons. Robin was an extremely good swordsman and Beastboy was an excellent archer. It seemed that they both had different strengths, which would be an advantage to the Titans.

That night Raven and Robin were on the top balcony of the guard post talking. "Are you going to be ok out there?" Raven asked. "Don't worry about me" he said putting his arm around her. "Just try to focus on what comes ahead" he added.

And with that, he gave her a hug and went off to bed, leaving Raven on the top balcony just to think about what could happen out there tomorrow, in a week, even in a month. She decided that she too needed sleep and went off to bed.

Meanwhile, Beastboy was taking a walk. He was also thinking about the battle. He thought that if he died, he wouldn't get to do all the cool stuff he had wanted to do before. He wouldn't ever see his friends again. Silent tears poured down his cheeks. "Friend, why are you crying?" said a voice.

He turned around, it was Starfire. She repeated "Why are you crying?" Beastboy replied, "Im just thinking, about the battle". "About death?" she said. "Yes" Beastboy whispered. She walked over and held him by his shoulders. "Death is a release" she told him. "Death is not the end; death is the start of a new life". Beastboy surprisingly felt better, 'wow she's good' he thought to himself. After that, they both went off to bed.

Beastboy didn't sleep well. He dreamt that he was fighting when he saw Starfire falling, falling until she hit the ground. He also saw Robin get shot in the back and Raven getting stabbed. Beastboy saw Cyborg also get shot. He sat up yelling. His yells echoed off the walls.

He felt scared, scared to death. He wished he hadn't been so stupid to get caught like that back in Jump City. He could at least have put up a fight, but he did not. He really didn't care what happened to him now. He had to protect his friends, no matter what.

The morning came once again. Time seemed to be going so fast. They had assigned Robin as the lookout, so that if anyone came, they would be ready. Raven and Starfire were shooting nervous glances at Beastboy, as though he was about to faint. And they looked absolutely horrified when he accidentally fell off his chair.

"Look I'm fine you guys, I'm just a little nervous" Beastboy said. He ate breakfast slowly and afterwards changed with Robin to be the lookout. Cyborg offered to do it for him but Beastboy refused.

He was lookout for most of the night until it was Cyborg's turn. He decided that sleep wasn't the best thing right now, so he went for more training. He walked out and found Robin practicing too. "Hi" Beastboy yawned. "Cant sleep?" Robin asked. "Yea" he replied. "How could I get us into this?" Beastboy said, Robin looked up "man this isn't your fault, and nobody thinks it is" Robin said. "But…" Beastboy started "Nobody thinks it's your fault" Robin said in a finality sort of voice.

Beastboy slumped off to bed, but Robin kept on training. The next morning they were all having a quiet breakfast, when Robin ran in. He said in a raspy sort of voice "Titans, it's time"
