Romeo and Juliet

In the midst of the ash, dark air, tumbling rock, lakes of fire, and magma, a tiny purple flouting speck made her way around the chaos in search of her beloved. The ground quivered in almost a mournful tone as tears of lava fell down from the mountain's face. "It is no wonder nothing grows on this lonely planet…" Starfire rubbed her arm. Though there was fire and magma, the bitter icy coldness of the planet still reached her.

Starfire cupped her hands around her mouth to make an attempt for her voice to be heard over the roaring of the 'storm'. "ROBIN!!! ROBIN COME BACK!!! WHERE ARE YOU???"

She raised herself even higher to get a better look and scanned the area, but she saw nothing. The only thing visible was a lake of fire and magma, along with a narrow bridge way of land towards a valley by the foot of a non active mountain. Tears filled her eyes and she looked about helplessly for her love. He was nowhere to be found. The joyous, happiness of flight left her as she was lowered to the ground. For once, she could not get herself to fly. She sat by a boulder, buried her head, and started to weep. "Robin," She cried. Whatever it was she about to say next was blurred by her sobbing.

A few yards away, a spring of lava erupted and started to flow. She didn't move. She stayed there, helpless, crying pitifully. The ruckus was so thunderous that she didn't notice the distant voice calling her name.

"Starfire…"It whispered, almost enchanted like. Maybe it was her imagination? It was unreal. She didn't see anything through her blurred vision of tears. Her head was still buried in her arms. "Starfire… Starfire…Come..." Lava began to flow and creep towards her. With her not moving, it was getting closer every second.

"Huh?" At last her head rose up from its resting place.

"STARFIRE!!!!!!" A hook came out of nowhere and wrapped itself around her leg. She jerked out of her huddled position and was yanked to the birthplace of the savior, just as the lava met her resting place.

She rested on the floor, a tad bit started by the sudden action. She sat up half way to face her rescuer. "ROBIN!!!" Starfire threw herself into his arms as she started to cry again.

"Sh…." Robin prodded gently as he rubbed her back. "It's alright… you're okay…."

"I thought I lost you!" Starfire looked up, her emerald eyes filled with tears. "I thought you were gone forever!"

"It's alright Starfire. I'm here now... It'll be alright …" He wiped her tears away and raised her head from the chin. "Now… I found a safe spot for us to stay." He focused Starfire's attention towards a distant valley that was across the bridge of land. "Those mountains are non active. I even found some kind of grass there. It's safe. We must bring the others there for safety until this… whatever it is… is over!" Robin began to run towards the direction of the cave as Starfire followed behind. "We got to hurry before they cave in!!"

"We will never get there fast enough!" Starfire commented. She finally found the joyfulness of flight again as she raised herself up. "I will bring you with me!" Starfire grabbed onto Robin's hand and lifted him up in the air. Then they started to fly, dodging springs of lava as they went. Starfire was not used to holding weight while in flight, so it was a bit sluggish.

Something began to take form in the distance. Raven soured through the sky overhead, and then descended down to their level, making speech possible. Her eyes were still pure white as she floated in midair.

"Raven!" Robin yelled for her to hear over the riot. "There's a haven in a valley over that land bridge down yonder. Take the other titans and meet us there!"

Raven nodded silently, then went off towards the cave. Starfire began to quiver in her flight and smiled bashfully. "Um… do you mind if we walk? I am not used to carrying people in flight…"

"Oh, of course..." Robin commented.

Starfire lowered herself to the ground and dropped Robin off with a sigh. "Ah… My arms are tired. I suppose I am still week from my… uh …mournful… incident. When I get depressed it makes me week. That is why I try my best to stay cheerful!" Starfire smiled.

"And you do a good job!" Robin commented as he continued walking. The land bridge came up ahead. It was narrow and looked unstable, but it was the only way there. Robin stood there for a moment or two, looking down at their… well, mostly his… fate if he fell. He took a deep breath and then made his first, carefully balanced steps across. Starfire followed, floating three inches above the ground ready to go after him if he fell.

Suddenly, what appeared to be a petty speck of dust in the sky, started to grow. It started to descend lower, and lower, and lower until its figure was made clear. It was one of Blackfire's controlled ships. It actually was one of the Titans, but it got stolen. A tail of smoke followed as it soured towards Starfire and Robin. It came unnoticed due to the thunder and violent shaking of the earth.

"STARFIRE GET DOWN!!!" Robin flung himself at Starfire and pushed her back to solid ground off the land bridge just as the aircraft swooped down at them. Fortunately for them, it missed. "We got to get somewhere to hide!" Robin shouted.

"Over there!" Starfire pointed towards the valley. "I spotted some caved over there!"

Robin looked hesitant at the long, winding, narrow bridge, and then glanced up at the incoming attackers. It was the only way. "…Let's go…"

They joined hands and ran towards the bridge, trying not to look back. Even though Starfire knew she could easily fly ahead and get there, she wanted to stay with Robin and give him some support and confidence. She knew he was hesitant about crossing the bridge.

The aircraft behind turned around and began to dive at another attempt to capture. The door below was opened and a rope ladder was lowered with Jinx dangling on the bottom. Her powers caused some of the bridge behind Robin and Starfire to break apart and disintegrate in the magma.

Starfire gasped and glanced back at the horrific sight. "Robin! The bridge is breaking!!"

"Just keep Moving!!" Robin yelled back as they continued to run towards their destination.

The ship got closer and closer to its target until Jinx was right besides Starfire. "Hello princess! You're coming with me!" She pulled out what looked like a purple flower with orange fruit and squeezed it, causing a yellow dust to cloud around Starfire's face.

Starfire gasped. "Tameranian Mugsinter flowers!! How did you get those!!? They paralyze my powers!!" Just then Starfire started to shake as she sank down and collapsed. Though she was not unconscious, the pollen of the flower caused her to grow very frail, weak enough for Jinx to take her without any trouble.

Jinx grabbed onto Starfire while still clinging onto the rope ladder and began to lift her up. "ROBIN!!" Starfire called for help, her hand extended.

"STARFIRE!!!" Robin ran as fast as his legs could carry. His arm reached up in the air, his hand barely touching his beloved's hand. He was unable to make himself move any faster. He made one final attempt and leaped up in an effort to grab onto the rope ladder. In what appeared like slow motion he soured up, his hands extended, and his legs behind. As though he was in flight, he came up to the ladder, and just missed it by one inch. He fell to the ground, and looked up, helplessly watching Starfire being taken away.

Her distant cry carried over to him as the ship ascended. "Robin!!" It cried mournfully until it could be heard no more…

"STARFIRE!!!!..." Robin dropped down on his knees and banged his fists on the ground. "NOOOOOOO!!!!!...."

He was so upset, he didn't notice that he had made it across the land bridge. He was in the valley now. Robin let his head hit the ground in a mixture of anger and sorrow. "I let her go…. I LET HER GO!!" He yelled as he banged the ground again with his fist. Tears started to come forth from his mask.

"Hello Robby…." A snake of a voice called from behind.

Robin got up and turned to face the intruder. He gasped. It was Blackfire.

"It's no use crying over Starfire now. She's gone and she's not coming back. She will be destroyed and you will never see her again!" Blackfire smiled cruelly as Robin's hate grew.

"NOOOO!!" Robin charged towards her in an angered attempt. Blackfire's eyes grew an odd scarlet color as she lifted her hands up in the air. Vibrant rays came forth from her hands with an earsplitting, paralyzing sound that caused Robin to drop down and grasp his head in utter pain and discomfort. Finally it halted. "What was that!?"

Blackfire smiled. "It's a new power I inherited from this jewel Slade got me." She pulled out a ruby looking jewel with fragments of orange and yellow. It looked like fire. Then she put it away and hovered on top of Robin's paralyzed body. "Now… Slade told me to bring you to him, but…. I might just spare you your fate…if…." She smiled deviously as she walked up closer to him, letting their eyes meet.

"If what!?" Robin asked impatiently.

"……If you would forget all about your little pathetic Starfire, and… join me. Together we can rule over Tameran! ….as husband and wife…." She smiled harshly, waiting for Robin's answer.

"NEVER!!! I WILL NEVER GO WITH YOU, YOU SNAKE!!!" Robin angrily yelled. Then he spat at her by her foot and sneered.

Blackfire remained calm and collected, a small smirk upon her face. "…Very well… I will enjoy watching you and your precious little Starfire suffer…." She picked up Robin, who was still paralyzed, and tied him up in chains, then sent him in a cage towards the back. On his way there, Robin managed to let his weak hand touch one of the release buttons for the emergency air crafts located on the ship. The little ship detached from the mother ship and fell to the ground. It may not help Robin escape, but at least it would help the other Titans to get off the planet.

Blackfire scolded Robin for doing so, but didn't bother to get it back. They had to leave soon for towards the end of the eruption, the planet explodes. Then a new one forms. This cycle occurs once a month.

As Robin sat paralyzed in the prison, he couldn't really help but wonder if he would ever see Starfire again. He shook his head and sighed, letting a mumbled whisper come forth from his lips. "…oh Starfire…" Then he closed his eyes and bowed his head.
