Beast-Boy's heart jumped. He jumped up and winced. His whole body hurt. Cyborg shook his head.

"It's too much for you right now." Cyborg said.

"Dude, I'm not going to let Terra down again."

"Sorry man." Cyborg ran out of the room and locked the door behind him.

"I can't believe this!"

Beast-Boy sat back on the bed and sighed. His mind wandered back to the day it happened.

"Terra come on, come with us."

"I can't, I'm the only one who can stop this." The blonde said.

"Terra."

"Go Beast-Boy." Terra pushed the rock he stood atop back to the main rock structure. Beast-Boy just stared at her, this couldn't be happening. The lava around them began to rise as the two of them stood in their final moments together. Beast-Boy turned slowly and ran back to his team. Before he left he took one final look at his love then he left.

"Hello Beast-Boy."

Beast-Boy bolted up. Had he fallen asleep? He couldn't remember, but something had awakened him. He looked around the empty room and sighed bored.

"She's not beyond rescue. You can help her."

There, that was it. A voice echoed through the cold tile room, but nobody was there.

"Uh, Hello?" Beast-Boy managed to say. It was at about this time that Slade came into view. "You? Dude, how did you get here the others are following you."

"Correction, their following a fake lead. Nobody's here except you and me." Slade said slowly.

Beast-Boy shifted in the bed, he hadn't the strength for a small fight let alone one against Slade.

"Don't worry boy, I need you."

Beast-Boy had a questioning look on his face

"We both want the same thing. Terra. But neither of us can attain that without the other."

Beast-Boy should have known better than this but he couldn't help it. He wanted to help Terra so much he lost his rationale. Slade opened the locked door and led Beast -Boy on his way out.

Minutes later the rest of the team returned. They first entered the large commons room.

"That was pointless." Raven commented.

"I agree that had no point." Starfire added.

"We can't look at it like that, it just means we're one step closer to catching him." Robin replied. Cyborg left the others, he wanted to check on Beast-Boy. The others continued their conversation on the validity of their latest excursion. Cyborg walked the halls and every now and then would hear a snippet of the conversation. He reached the med room and opened the door.

"Where'd he go?" Cyborg yelled. The others stopped their conversation and ran to him.

"What?" Robin asked him.

"Where'd Beast-Boy go?"

Beast-Boy stood in front of the carbonite statue of Terra.

"Hey! How much longer?" Beast-Boy turned and asked of Slade standing in front of a large flashing screen.

"This takes time boy." Slade replied.

Finally after minutes that felt like hours Slade turned and walked over to Terra. He clapped twice and the lights flickered on and for the first time Beast-Boy got a good look at where he was. It was a large room with conveyer belts with hooks hanging from them moving around it, it could have been an old meat plant. Beast-Boy shuddered and glanced at Terra. Now he saw what she stood upon, it was a large gray circle with hundreds of tiny holes in it. He stepped back on Slade's command and stared wide eyed as the holes began to leak a blue gas. Beast-Boy got a big whiff of the gas and coughed wildly. The gas filled the large room.

Then the haze cleared and there stood their quarry. Terra stood over the gray circle as if nothing had happened. The two males looked surprised that it had worked.

"Terra!" They both said in unison. Terra looked at both of them scared.

"Terra, it's me, Beast-Boy."

"Terra, come to me, I am you master."

Terra's head began to spin she had grown to despise the feelings inside of her, she just wanted out. "Nooooo!" She screamed and thrust her hand to her sides. Two large pillars of Earth appeared one in front of both her rescuers. The pushed the two to opposite sides of the room and slammed them into the walls. "I will not be a slave to either of you anymore!"

Beast-Boy pushed the pillar out a bit and looked out at her. "Terra." That was the last word he muttered before he lost consciousness again.
