The hooded man looked into the large crystal ball to check in on the state of each Titan. He felt a sudden dread as he saw each Titan failing at the task at hand.
'No, they're our only hope . . .'
Beastboy-
He laid on the ground, his hands over his head and his knees brought close to his chest; the people still chanting unendingly.
"Please! Stop!" He cried out. What was going on? How had he gotten here?
'That doesn't matter!' He thought to himself. 'Figure a way to get out of here!'
He looked all around him. The face-less people encircled the cage; there was no open path. And there's so many of them . . .
He suddenly stood and morphed into a T-Rex making the cage around him burst with his size. The people around the cage scattered. He roared loudly and suddenly felt the ground fall from his feet. He morphed back and tumbled down a dark pit and landed and a hard surface.
Raven-
She was hiding behind a large boulder, shaking as she felt the threatening footsteps tremble the earth. She could not understand how she had gotten here. But she needed to figure a way out of here.
She stood and flew to the top of the boulder, searching helplessly for some sort of escape.
"Raven . . ." An evil voiced cried out far behind her. She turned to see her father standing a hundred feet away in front of a large stone door.
'An exit?' She asked herself. Forgetting everything else, she formed the large magical bonds around her hands and shot straight at her father.
She ducked as he sent a colossal fist her way. She looked on the ground for some sort of weapon. Seeing the numerous rocks, she lifted them with her bonds and threw a particularly large one right at Trigons face. He cried out in anger and shot a red blast from his hands at her.
She got up from the hard earth and picked up another large boulder. This time, when it hit him, he was sent flying back away from the door. She quickly fled through the door that seemingly disappeared behind her, and came face to face with a cliff.
Cyborg-
The five football players all were leering over Cyborgs, throwing kicks and punches. He grunted as on swift kick came in to his side.
"What's wrong Stone?" Nichols yelled out. "Come on you freak, show me what you got!"
Valence and the others snickered and backed away, leaving a battered Cyborg lying on the ground.
'This isn't real,' Cyborg thought as he rolled onto his back. "Back off," He whispered angrily.
Cyborg got to his feet and stood impressively before them.
"What did you say, freak?" Nichols asked. He grabbed the metal pipe from Valence and swung it back, aim straight at Cyborgs face.
Just as the pipe was about to hit, Cyborg caught it and bent it in half. He pulled out his gun arm and pointed it at his old friends. "I said, back off." He shot one hard blast and suddenly felt himself falling backwards. He fell down a deep tunnel and landed hard on the ground.
Starfire-
Starfire was sitting in a fetal position, rocking back and forth. She dared not open her eyes. Every so often she would hear a soft patting noise, as if someone was walking off in the distance, but then it would stop and go back to the deafening silence.
"This cannot be," she said aloud, her voice echoing off the sodden walls. She wrapped her hands around herself and shivered. Her pajamas were letting every draft of air through, freezing her skin.
A draft . . .
'If there is a draft, then there must be a way for it to enter,' She thought. She opened her eyes and faintly made out the cobblestone path that led to the tombs. The draft was coming from that direction…
She got to her bare feet and shakily started walking towards the tombs; the pit-pat noise of her feet reverberating through the thick silence. When the first tombstone in the wall came into view, she slowed down.
'No, there is no going back!' She scolded herself. 'You must find an exit!' She picked up the pace again and entered the graveyard.
A whispering sound came from every which direction, but she continued walking.
'There is nothing…' She told herself, the whispering seeming to get louder.
'There is nothing!' The whispering seemed to be right behind her now.
"THERE IS NOTHING!" She cried out finally, breaking into a run. An entrance to another cave was evident and she entered it quickly, the doorway fading out behind her as she collapsed to the ground.
Robin-
The platform creaked wearily as Robin sat atop it, not daring to move. He had never truly had to face his fear of heights. Possibly, it was not a fear of heights, simply just falling from them. He leaned down and looked at the circus floor below, looking at the crumpled bodies of his family. A single tear fell from his masked eye and fell to the ring beneath him.
'Why am I here,' He asked himself. 'Is this a dream? Can I wake up at any minute?' He pinched himself but the shock of pain seemingly did nothing. He pulled himself away from the edge and sat in the middle of the wooden dais.
'I need to get out of here.' He thought determinedly. The ropes had all fallen, so there was no way to swing down. He looked again down to the ground. He would have to jump.
Robin stood unsteadily on the edge of the dais, and then plunged off the edge. He saw the ground draw nearer but as he was about to hit, a dark tunnel appeared below him and he went spiraling down into the dark. Finally he hit hard rock and everything went black.
