I am sorry about all the confusion the past few days, I added the wrong chapter and by the time I deleted it, it was too late, sorry about all the alerts that everyone got, but i think it's all better now. Anyway, on with Chapter Eight!

Robin was outside, in the cold dark night. It was pitch black outside; Robin could hardly even see two feet in front of him, but he needed to continue, needed to press on. He had to find Starfire and bring her back to the safety of the tower. She had to be rescued. There was no way around it.

Robin wanted to be alone, so that is why he decided it were better for the other's to stay asleep, that and he didn't want anyone to get in the way. This was his fight, his mission, and nothing was going to stop him from getting his just revenge. He wanted it so bad, and finally there was going to be no voice to tell him to stop, nothing to hold him back. He could let loose and nothing would prevent him from doing so, and he was planning to do so.

Robin wandered amid the dark rooftops, not knowing where to start first. He was hoping there would be some kind of sign, signifying where Slash was hiding, but there was none just yet, so he had to go about his search the old fashioned way.

During his wanderings he came across many thugs trying to get smart with him and trying to steal things from stores. Tonight was not a good night to mess with him, and made sure these simple thieves knew about that. With what he did with them, they wouldn't be stealing for a good long time.

"Where are you?" Robin said to himself. Just then something moved in the shadows. Robin immediately heard this.

"Who…who is that?" Robin stammered. He approached the darkness, and reached out. As he did so, a mouse ran in between his legs and in the opposite direction of Robin.

"Phew." Robin sighed, as a fist came out from the darkness and connected with his face.

Robin reeled backwards and fell to the ground with a loud thud. He looked up to see what had hit him, and there he was.

"So nice to see you Robin." Slash said rather calmly.

"You…you're so dead." Robin replied.

"Now, now. Be nice Robin, I do hold your friend in my grasp and at anytime I can kill her."

"No, please don't hurt her, do what you will with me, but please don't hurt Starfire." Robin was still on the ground, begging for mercy from the ruthless villain. "Please take me instead, fight me, leave her out of this."

"Oh don't worry Robin, we will fight. But not now, the time will come when we will fight." AS Slash said this, he retreated into the darkness and was gone as quickly as he had appeared, and left a sobbing and hurt Robin behind him.

Beast Boy had gotten up in the middle of the night to go get a nice big glass of soy milk, when he decided to check in on how Robin was doing.

'Better go and check up on him, he wasn't stable tonight, so I just want to make sure he's ok.' Beast Boy thought as he approached the door labeled "Robin".

He knocked, but not too loud, for fearing of waking the sleeping Titan.

The door was open. "Weird." Beast Boy thought. "Robin never keeps his door open." So he decided, that since his door was open, it was ok for him to enter the room, and he did so.

"Robin, Robin? You here? Just want to come and check in on you to make sure you're ok."

No reply.

"Robin? Are you sleeping?"

Still no reply.

Beast Boy was starting to get aggravated. He fumbled around in the darkness to find a switch. He had reached the wall and felt along the surface, found the switch and turned it on. The sudden flash of light blinded Beast Boy for a few seconds and finally he was able to see.

There was no Robin, and Beast Boy began to worry what had happened to his friend. He immediately ran out of his room and into the living room and sounded the alarm.

'Ok Robin, regain yourself. You need to find out where he is hiding and what he is planning." Robin told himself.

"Now which way did he leave?" Robin asked himself, but not knowing because of the excessive darkness all around.

'Damn.' He said and started his frantic search once again. Not knowing where he was going.

When the other Titan's heard the alarm they immediately got out of bed and rushed down into the living room to see a worried and pacing Beast Boy,

"Yo, man what's wrong?" Cyborg asked sleepily.

"Robin…don't know…gone." Beast Boy said incoherently.

"Slow down Beast Boy and concentrate. What's wrong?" Raven asked tenderly.

Beast Boy took a deep breath and told them what had happened. The two stood there for a bit, but finally broke out of their trance.

"Ok, look, we need to find the little guy. In a state like this he is unpredictable and can do more harm than good." Cyborg began, replacing the leader they were missing. "Ok, we all have to split up and look for him on our own. Beast Boy I want you to take downtown, Raven the peers."

"And where are you going to go?" Beast Boy said.

"I'm going to the industrial area."

Robin had been wandering for what seemed like hours on end. He had no luck in finding the hideout of Slash when he had come to the industrial area.

He walked around the old abandoned factories and found one with lights on inside of it. He approached it cautiously and entered.

Since he had entered the back door, there were no lights on. He fumbled around in the darkness for a bit, when lights turned on. They were blinding but Robin quickly got his sight back, and immediately felt sick.

He was standing in the middle of a blood covered floor, whit Starfire in the middle of it all.

Suddenly there was a voice. "Welcome Robin, to your end."
