Sorry this chapter took so long, its really hard t think of something good to write!
Complete silence. That was all that followed the warning. The Titans stood in silence, how many personal was this guy talking about. By the sounds of it, there were too many.
They heard shouts of "over here!" and "kill the Titans!" and they did not come easy to the Titans. "Well?" Beastboy asked, "Are we going to get out of here or what?"
Starfire stared at Beastboy with admiration. He was always the one willing to get out there and do something without just standing there and thinking about it. He was so brave she thought to herself.
"Well?" Beastboy repeated a little louder this time. The Titans didn't move. "Ok, if you guys aren't willing to get out of here, I am" he said. Starfire and Raven made the first moves and stood behind Beastboy, showing their support.
Cyborg was next and moved behind Beastboy as well. Robin stared. He thought one more time before walking up to Beastboy and holding out his hand. Beastboy shook his hand and both muttered "Sorry" before they made their way out.
They decided to split up and would communicate with each other if they found a way out. Robin went with Cyborg and Raven and Starfire went with each other. Beastboy however wanted to go alone.
The lights suddenly went out. The Titans started to get worried. The dark wasn't exactly their favourite kind of light to be in. Robin moved around a corner and saw a party of at least twenty people in it.
"Well, here it goes" Robin said. "I got the sonic if you got the kaboom" Cyborg smirked. They both ran up the walls and Cyborg blasted his cannon and Robin threw a bomb disk. "Bomb!" the soldiers yelled. It exploded right in the middle of the party and took them all out.
"That was extremely easy" Robin stated. "For sure" Cyborg smiled at him and the two continued through the now dark hallway.
Starfire moved around slowly with Raven at her side. Every now and then they would hear the occasional creak or sound and would both move in fear.
They had not run into any trouble yet and didn't intend to either. Starfire decided to check on the other Titans, just to see if they were ok. She contacted Robin and Cyborg first.
"Are you two friends unharmed?" she asked them. "Yea, we run into some trouble but we got past that" Robin replied. "Okay thank you friends for that" Starfire said and the screen switched off.
She did Beastboy next and hoped he had not been harmed. His screen switched on and he panted "Yea, found a way out yet?" Starfire noticed that he had been sweating and asked "Friend Beastboy, why have you been sweating?" Beastboy laughed and replied "I have been running".
"So have you found a way out yet?" he repeated. "No, I just wanted to see if you were unharmed" Starfire smiled earnestly. "Ok………Thanks……..I guess" Beastboy said. Starfire giggled and switched her screen off.
"That girl can be really strange, and then go to super girl, How does she do it?" Beastboy said deep in thought. He decided to leave his thoughts for another time and continued down the hallway.
He thought he might as well search places as well, just in case. So far all the doors he ran into were locked. This was pretty odd he thought to himself, they weren't locked on his way here. They were wide open.
He had to stop getting into deep thought; a team of guards could easy sneak up behind him without even himself knowing. He also thought it was odd that he hadn't run into and guards yet.
It was just silence, apart from his breathing. He knew his chances of getting out within today were just about the chances of pigs flying. "Anyway, is it today? Is it night?" he asked himself.
"Whoa" Beastboy said. He was definitely going to get his head checked when….or if he got out of here. He didn't like the sound of 'if' but it was still a possibility.
He needed his stealth rather than his brawn. He dashed around corners quickly and dived behind stairs at any chance sight of the enemy. He needed to get out, and fast.
Robin and Cyborg continued down the dark hallways, looking for any signs of danger or a way out.
They continued walking until they came to a doorway. Robin opened it slowly and gasped. It was like a giant cave. It had small rocky paths which lead on before they turned a sharp corner.
"Well, here it goes" Robin sighed as Cyborg followed him through the dark cave. They turned the sharp corner and discovered a narrow bridge that lead across a deep chasm. Robin gulped as he saw Cyborg already making his way across.
He slowly followed and jumped up if he heard any cracking sounds. Cyborg was noticing this and said "Argh! The bridge is breaking!" while he jumped up and down on the small bridge.
"NO!" Robin yelled as he dropped to the ground. He was rocking back and forth. Meanwhile, Cyborg was laughing his head off. "The boy wonder is afraid of heights!" he joked. Robin stood up and punched him on the arm. "That wasn't funny metal man" he mumbled.
Starfire and Raven seemed to have the same luck in finding the caves. Raven moved inside and tried to fly across. But her powers weren't working again. It was like some sort of force field that was blocking her powers. Starfire was having the same problem.
"I cannot use my powers to get us across" Starfire sighed. "Then we just have to walk across" Raven said. Both walked across and in the middle, both started to hear strange noises.
"Can you hear those noises" Starfire asked Raven. "Yes, better speed up" Raven said nervously. Both heard the strange noises getting louder. Raven started to run but Starfire stopped and when Raven looked, she was picking something up.
"Look at this…..dagger? Is what it is called?" Starfire said, holding up a small dagger. "Yes, just leave it, we have to go" Raven told her. She turned around and was face to face with a boy.
"It ends now" the boy cackled evilly. He jabbed Raven in the neck with some sort of metal rod and she fainted. He turned to Starfire and gave her a push off the edge of the bridge. She fumbled but only just managed to stab the dagger into the rocky surface that the bridge was made out of. She screamed as the boy grabbed her hand and was attempting to throw her off the dagger that was holding her to the bridge.
She screamed. This was it. This was the end of her life. She had a perfect life. She had a home, friends, and family. A single tear rolled down her cheek. She thought of Beastboy. She would never see him again.
The boy was suddenly thrown away and she heard a thump. She slipped and then she started to fall. A hand was suddenly thrown out and grabbed the dagger by its point. She was being pulled up by someone.
The persons face finally came into view as they slipped down a bit. It was Beastboy. His face was screwed up in pain and she knew why. He was holding onto the dagger. Blood was running down the handle as he yelled and was groaning in pain.
He grabbed her arm with his free hand and pulled her past his body. She rolled a few meters before crawling over to Beastboy who was holding his hand and was yelling in pain.
Blood was everywhere. She reached for his pocket and pulled out a handkerchief. She picked up his limp hand and tied the tissue around it. She picked up his head and muttered in his ear, "Thank you friend Beastboy, you are the best friend I have ever had".
He smiled as her hair fell into his face. If there was a time to tell Starfire about his feelings, it had to be now. "Starfire, I have something to t-tell you" he panted. "The real truth is, I-I-I really, really like you, more than just a friend" he muttered.
Starfire smiled. "That is the way I feel about you also friend Beastboy" she said quietly. She helped him up and both just stared for a second. "Well, we better get out of here before we get too mushy" Beastboy grinned.
"Uh…….yes, we shall" Starfire said.
"I think we better wake Raven up" Beastboy exclaimed. He nervously walked over to Raven and pushed her head side to side with his foot. After five minutes of kicking Raven's head he walked over to Starfire.
"Well, she's definitely out cold" Beastboy said smiling. Starfire laughed and then also walked over to Raven and waved her hand back and forth in front of Raven's face. She shrugged and both decided to have an extreme rock, paper, scissors war to see who had to carry Raven out.
It was a first to ten point's battle. Starfire put her hand up against Beastboy's and both did rock, paper, scissors. Starfire won and drew back her hand and slapped Beastboy's one. "Is that all you got?" he asked her.
Starfire won again and slapped Beastboy's hand twice as hard. He winced but kept a brave face. This went on seven more times and by the end, Beastboy's hand was throbbing red, despite his green skin.
The score, Starfire pointed out was 9-1 to her. And Starfire also pointed out that she had partaken in the kicking of Beastboy's 'asses.'
"Yeah, yeah, don't rub it in" Beastboy said, while picking up Raven's body and threw her over his shoulder.
They continued down the cave and it seemed to take forever to get to a corner which revealed yet another long twining cave.
Beastboy heaved a sigh and all three continued down the cave.
Cyborg had been scaring Robin for a while now and sprung up the occasional, 'The bridge is breaking' stunt which made Robin collapse to the ground in horror.
Cyborg laughed loudly and jumped up and down on the rock and making it crack and make funny noises which only made Robin even more scared.
"Don't make me throw a bomb disk at you metal man!" Robin cried at Cyborg.
"Okay, okay, don't go all mental on me queer man" Cyborg smirked.
"For your information, I like girls!" Robin yelled at him.
"Sure, sure" Cyborg grinned.
"I DO!" Robin screamed in his face.
"I know, Okay, I know your coming onto Raven" Cyborg smirked.
"Uh….well…….that is ah……um……yes" Robin said quietly.
"Well I see good future for you Robin" Cyborg said, acting telepathically.
"What is that supposed to mean?" Robin said skeptically.
"I reckon she likes you too man" Cyborg said.
"Well….I………um……wouldn't put it that way" Robin said, struggling for the right choice of words.
"This is going to be a beautiful friendship" Cyborg said.
"That has no relevance what so ever to what we were talking about" Robin said flatly.
"I know my good friend, I know" said Cyborg.
"Did you even hear what I just said?" asked Robin.
"No, and I have no intention of knowing" replied Cyborg.
"Whatever" muttered Robin as he walked ahead of Cyborg.
"What has Raven been eating?" Beastboy moaned as he set her body on the ground. "Maybe it is just the weakness you call weak?" said Starfire.
"Ha! I doubt that Star" Beastboy smirked. "In an infinite universe, the possibility of what you call 'doubt' is very possible" Starfire said wisely. "Huh? An infinite wha…?" Beastboy said, raising his eyebrow.
Starfire opened her mouth to speak but Beastboy said to her, "Actually Star, never mind". Starfire shrugged and started to walk away. Beastboy picked up Raven's body and silently followed her.
"So….uh…wanna talk?" Beastboy asked Starfire. "About what, would you like to talk about?" Starfire replied.
"Anything, how about……your family, you know, on your home planet, Tameran" (Is that even what it's called?) said Beastboy.
(Okay, I am making this bit up, about Starfire's and Beastboy's family; I really don't know any of them except for Blackfire)
"Well, there is Blackfire, you have met her" said Starfire, holding up one finger.
"Then there is Tognorian, he is my elder brother" said Starfire again.
"I also have a smaller brother, he is Ordlanor" said Starfire, putting down another finger.
"And my mother Torfgat and my father Isdion" Starfire said finally.
"How about you family friend Beastboy?" asked Starfire.
"There was my sister, Sarah, she was kidnapped 2 ½ years ago" said Beastboy.
"And my parents, I never knew their names, they died when I was 4" said Beastboy, his eyes starting to sting.
"I am truly sorry Beastboy" said Starfire quietly.
Beastboy set Raven's body down and sat on a nearby rock, silent tears pouring down his face. Starfire walked over to Beastboy and pulled him close to her.
"Im so sorry Beastboy" Starfire whispered, tears pouring down her cheeks as well.
"It's not your f-fault" Beastboy stammered.
Beastboy gently pushed her away and stood up. Starfire leant in and kissed him on the cheek.
"Thanks, I feel a lot better" Beastboy said, pulling Raven onto his back again.
"Your most very welcome friend Beastboy" Starfire replied.
"Are we there yet?" Robin moaned.
"For the seventeenth time NO!" Cyborg yelled.
"Im bored" Robin said, hoping to make Cyborg lose his mind.
"So am I but we don't have a choice" Cyborg said.
"Are we there yet?" Robin asked.
"SHUT THE HELL UP!" Cyborg screamed.
"Okay, okay…..do you know when we will get there?" Robin asked.
"NO!" Cyborg screamed again.
"Damn jackass" Cyborg murmured.
"I heard that" Robin stated.
"Good on ya mate" Cyborg mouthed, and when Robin turned around, he made a face at him.
Beastboy and Starfire made another right and after a long walk, saw a small beam of light at the end of the long, dark hallway.
"Are you seeing what im seeing?" Beastboy said his mouth half open.
"If you are seeing the small light at the end of this pass, then yes, I am" Starfire said.
"YES!" Beastboy yelled. He didn't feel weak anymore. He ran with Raven still on his back. Starfire smiled and started running after him.
Robin and Cyborg also saw light coming from the left of a two way option.
(It is the same way that Beastboy and Starfire were coming from, but Robin doesn't know that)
Robin yelled "OH MY GOSH!" and started running towards it as well.
Robin quickly rounded the corner until he heard two familiar voices. "Robin!" they called. Robin turned around and saw Beastboy and Starfire standing there. He smiled and walked towards them.
He stopped to see that Raven was unconscious on Beastboy's back. "Raven, what happened to her?" Robin asked sternly.
"She was hit with something" said Starfire. "I don't know what object it was that friend Raven was hit with though" Starfire added.
"Come to think of it, she's been out for ages now" Beastboy said, scratching his head.
Robin took Raven off a relieved Beastboy's back and set her on the ground. He put his hand to her forehead. He jerked it away quickly. Her forehead was so cold. It felt like ice.
He stood up and faced the light that was illuminating the rest of the cave, the onehe was running to before. His heart missed a beat as he realised it was leading outside. He and the other Titans walked outside. It was daylight.
They were at the doors where they had come in.
After the struggle over all that time,
They were finally free.
