Alright, yes, I know, I haven't been updating like I promised, but I am beginning to wonder if anyone is even reading this garbage anymore!? I would like to finish what I've started, but if nobody's interested in it I'll stop! And I'm serious, too! It's already dying as it is because it seems like nobody is reading it, so do me a favor, and if you want this story to continue, review and let me know, otherwise I'll stop!
The ShapeShifting Chick: Why thank you! I am so glad you enjoyed it! Sadly… I think you were the only one who did… I'm sorry at my lack of updates, but it seems like nobody's in to this story anymore… :-(
- You want this story to continue!? REVIEW AND SAY SO!!!
A Foreshadowing Tragedy
The sky was a deep dark shade of violet. Scarlet clouds drifted to and thro across the moonlit sky as if they had no where to go. They were outcasts and knew no home. It was a double moon. One was to the east, the other, to the north. Stars glisten like diamond jewels, scattered around a velvet dark scarf of violet and ruby. The rugged, rocky terrain seemed to be contrary to the beauty of the sky. All seemed peaceful.
Blackfire waited patiently for something to happen, but she found herself spying in on Robin and Starfire's rendezvous. She sneered with hatred as Starfire left Robin's embrace. Then, as she went back into the cave, a smirk filtered across Blackfire's face, an evil grin filled with devious schemes and ideas. Her eyes were fixed on Robin.
"Jinx! Take control of the other wing of the ship and prepare to fly solo. Mammoth and Gizmo, you go with her! You're goal is to get Starfire! …I'm going after Robin. Take her and meet me at Slade's head courtiers, but do not follow me. Go a different course. Let's bring these two love birds as far away as possible… But remember… do not make your move until after the eruption has occurred! Get ready…For it is soon…"
Robin sat still on a boulder, gazing at the fire as if mesmerized by the flames, thoughts running through his mind, mostly about Starfire. His hand slowly crept up to his face and gently touched his mask. He smiled. It was such a perfect night, and so peaceful as well. Only the crackling of the fire broke the silence. Robin slowly lifted his weight off the ground and stood up. He bent down and picked up the quilt that covered Starfire off the ground. He stood there for a moment or two, captivated by the night's calmness and stillness. Then, with a sigh, he turned around and unhurriedly started to head towards the cave, leaving the fire on because there was nothing else it could burn.
A glass of water stood by the entrance next to the emergency refrigerator that Cyborg insisted on packing "just in case". Apparently, Cyborg's love with food proved to be useful for once. Robin bent over and carefully picked up the full glass, trying not to spill it. Then he took a sip.
…Thud…
The ground vibrated as the water in the glass rippled. Robin tilted his head and raised an eyebrow. "What was that…?" Then it sounded again this time a little louder.
…Thud…
"Hmm…" Robin turned around and scanned the landscape, searching for anything out of the ordinary or suspicious. There was silence.
…Boom…
The ground shook a little at what sounded like a heavy textbook slamming on a tile floor echoing in the distance, but nothing was to be seen. Robin took a few steps back, away from the sound, towards the cave. Something was about to happen.
The ground started to vibrate. Crackling and sounds of falling rocks from a nearby mountain came charging his way. Then, in the distance, one of the mountains erupted into flames. Smoke and ash flew all around as sounds of thunder shook the earth. Then that mountain in the distance started a chain reaction with all the other mountains. They too began to light up in flames. Then, an oozing red liquid started to creep its way down. They were not mountains. They were active volcanoes!
The earth beneath Robin's feet shook violently and caused him to stumble, unable to get up, he watched in terror as the ground before him started to split and break apart! Their camp fire fell into a lake of lava as Robin went in the cave yelling for help.
The other titans were wide awake now, and in terror. Cyborg started to run around in circles along with Beast Boy who took a form of a timid rabbit. "WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!! OUR SHIP IS TOTALLY DONE FOR! THERE'S NO WAY OUT! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!"
Raven stood still in the center of the traveling circle of panicking animals. Then her eyes turned white as a force shied stood before Beast Boy, who started the ring around the rosy in the first place, causing him to smack right in to it. He fell down, took his normal form, and started to rub his head. "OW!! HEY!! Dude what was that for!!?"
Raven frowned, keeping her same, emotionless expression. "Running around me like panicking morons with rabies isn't going to solve anything!"
"Oh… well… I'm sorry, but we are kind of like ALL GOING TO DIE!!!!" Beast Boy waved his hands in the air with a fit.
Starfire glanced all across the room, startled and afraid as the earth shook even more. She held on to the wall of the cave and looked to Robin. "Robin! What are we going to do!? We must do something!!"
Robin continued looking outside, as if seeing something hopeful in the distance. "Everybody stay here! I'm going out!"
"What!?" Starfire exclaimed. "You must not! You will get killed!"
It was too late. Robin rushed out the narrow entrance to the cave. Starfire watched with eyes of fear as her beloved ran to the place of doom. Then her expression went stern as she lifted herself off the ground and went after him.
Beast Boy stood looking out of the cave at the mess of lava, ash, split ground, lakes of fire, and tumbling boulders as the ground vibrated violently. "Well…. Robin said to stay here… right?"
Raven sighed and rolled her eyes as she let herself fly up in the air. "Cowards…" Her eyes changed to pure white as she soured through the entrance, stopping a falling rock from hitting her with her force field on the way.
Beast Boy and Cyborg stood besides each other staring out of the cave, there eyes not leaving its horrific sight. "Well…" Beast Boy bit his lip. "..Well are you goin after 'em?"
"I'm not goin after 'em!" Cyborg replied sharply. "Are you goin after 'em?"
Beast Boy shook his head terrified. "No! I'm not goin after 'em… Are you goin after 'em?"
"No! I'm not goin after them!" Cyborg replied. "You go after them!"
"I'm not going after them!" Beast Boy backed up. "You go after them I insist!"
"No you!" Cyborg replied.
