Chapter 11

"I will give you thirty minutes to get in contact with your sister," Kendrick said. "A minute more and we will be leaving this detestable planet behind, without her."

"Kendrick, sir, you cannot do that," Ryand'r commanded, but Kendrick only laughed.

"Oh, can I not? And who is going to stop me?"

"I am. As prince of Tamaran and third in line for the throne (actually second, because in the comic books Blackfire isn't fit to rule because she is unable to fly at a young age, but we'll stick with the cartoon knowledge for this fic), I command that you cease this nonsense at once. As long as the princess Koriand'r remains here, I shall remain here, and the planet Earth shall be protected." Kendrick laughed once more, but it was a more malicious bark this time.

"Silly Ryand'r, you have been gone too long. Your blood line no longer has any power over Tamaran. Once Koriand'r vanquished your tyrannical sister and passed the crown on to her incompetent nanny, Galfore, you know how easily anarchy arose at the prospect of having non-royal blood guide the planet. Now Galfore being overthrown and killed may be a secret to Koriand'r, but it is not to you. However, because you left soon after the uprise, you do not know that pure anarchy rules Tamaran now. Which means that the royal Tamaran line is forever discontinued." Ryand'r gasped.

"No . . ."

"Yes," Kendrick said, smirking. "It would take great strength to return Tamaran to its peaceful stage."

"That great strength still exists," Ryand'r said defiantly.

"I do not suppose you believe that you have that great strength," Kendrick sneered, but Ryand'r shook his head.

"No. Not me."

"Oh, how could I be so foolish? Of course your faith lies with your dreadful and perhaps traitorous sister, Koriand'r." To Kendrick's surprise, and maybe even to his own, Ryand'r shook his head once more.

"No. Not Koriand'r."

"Well . . . then . . . who?"

"Starfire."


"We've got to go," Robin said quickly. "Your brother, he's in danger." Starfire's eyes widened with fear.

"Ryand'r? What is wrong?" Robin snapped his communicator shut and looked sorrowfully at the beautiful alien. The moment was lost, and now all thoughts of him were replaced by her brother. He knew it was selfish, but he wished that he could just forget all about her little brother and pick up from where they left off.

But once again his needs and wants had to be pushed aside for the good of society. And right now, Ryan, Ryand'r, whoever he was, needed help.

"Let's go," he said, not explaining the situation, only grabbing her small wrist and pulling her out of the room and out of the moment. The rest of the Titans met them halfway, having been alerted on their communicators as well.

"Cyborg . . ." Robin began, but Cyborg knew what he wanted and cut him off.

"I'm on it," he said, and headed in the direction of the garage to get the T Car ready. Raven took a moment to read into Robin's mind to see what had happened, but Robin felt her presence and blocked her out. Raven blinked, surprised. How had he learned how to do that? The power of love, she figured, could do pretty much anything. His blockade prevented her from learning the details, but it had told her one thing: something had happened.

"Raven, find out where that guy is right now," Robin directed, and she nodded.

"Who is this 'guy' you speak of? Robin, please tell me why my brother is in danger," Starfire pleaded.

"Oh, don't worry, Star," Beast Boy said, patting her shoulder reassuringly. "We'll take him down, no prob. We've dealt with him before." Starfire thought about it for a moment, then realized who they were talking about.

"Kendrick? But I believed that he was in jail," she said, unsure.

"If Kendrick's the guy who tried to kidnap your brother before, then yeah, we put him in jail, but he broke out," Beast Boy explained. Starfire shook her head.

"But I do not understand. Kendrick is a royal servant of the planet Tamaran. Why does he pose a threat?"

"He's what?"

"When you found Kendrick, he was returning Ryand'r home, to Tamaran." Beast Boy and Robin looked at each other.

"Uh, Star, why didn't you tell us he wasn't a bad guy?" Robin asked. She shrugged.

"Ryand'r said he did not mind staying on Earth if I was. And Kendrick is a bit of a glorfork, so neither of us really minded that he was in jail. But I suppose it did not please him very much." Starfire thought for a moment. "But I still do not understand why he poses a threat." She was answered when Raven returned, looking as panicked as the virtually apathetic girl could.

"Robin, we have a problem," she said.

"What?"

"The kidnapper has already gotten to Ryan . . . and now he's heading here."

"Here?" Robin asked, his heart gripped with fear, anticipating Raven's next words.

"He's coming for Starfire."


DUN DUN DUN DUN!!! Okay, so now you know that Kendrick is the villain, and he's meeaaan. I love how I was writing Chapter 14 when I read SocialKween's review about how she hopes Starfire won't go back to Tamaran. Hehehe. Conflict. I love it.

I hope everyone had an awesome Christmas, I know I definitely did.

Review!
