Robin ditched the Bo staff and took a martial arts stance. "You're going to pay for all that you've done X and I'm going to make sure you do with my bare hands" Robin said while trying to anticipate what Red X's next move might be. "Forgoing your own weapons? Someone seems a little overzealous don't you think? Oh well if that's the way you want to fight then so be it" Red X said clearly amused at the idea of Robin fighting him without any weapons. Red X fired a few X-blasts from his hands at Robin that were dodged with expert precision while charging at Red X and in the middle of a jump kick when Red X grabbed him by the leg and threw him into the adjacent wall.
"I'm afraid you're going to have to do better than that," Red X said while sportingly waiting for Robin to come to his feet so they could resume their battle. "Why are you doing this? Why do you want to hurt people? What is it that motivates you to commit these crimes?" Robin questioned while getting to his feet and regaining his composure. "The sheer joy and exhilaration of it Robin. Of all people I'd assume you would know that by now." Red X said bemused. "What do you mean?" Robin questioned while preparing to have another go at taking X down. "Everybody knows all about your apprenticeship with Slade. Although everyone knows that you were working for him for a short while You, Slade, and I are the only ones who truly know how much joy it brought to you. How much of a sense of entertainment. All three of us know that deep down you enjoy being a criminal just like me." Red X said while taking a stance very similar to the one Robin had taken earlier. "I AM NOTHING LIKE YOU!" Robin shouted with a rage so strong that it seemed to be consuming his very soul.
Red X launched a few X-arangs at Robin while taking advantage of the opportunity that was brought about by the distraction of trying to dodge his first attack by charging at Robin and pinning him down to the ground. "You know you want to go back. To crawl back to Slade and beg for your position of apprentice back but it's too late. Even if you did scrounge up the guts to go back and face him the role of apprentice has already been filled." Red X said attempting to patronize Robin but instead rather peaking his interest and intrigue. "So you've taken up the role of apprentice," Robin said while kicking Red X off of him and across the warehouse "do you have any idea what you have gotten yourself into" Robin asked while Red X managed to land on his feet and flip over to the side of the warehouse.
"Of course I do. A life long commitment of serving a psychotic megalomaniacal villain and being a villain" Red X said appearingly shocked at the fact that Robin hadn't caught on yet. "Who are you" Robin questioned while charging at Red X and unleashing a flurry of punches that were al dodged. "Don't you think you have a bit more pressing matters at hand? In case you haven't forgotten the shape shifter, the tamaranian, and Lucifer's little princess are unconscious and in serious condition not to mention that Mr. Roboto is out of commission from being drained by those sonic cannon blasts and being kicked in the head by you. However I have enjoyed our time together so much. We should get together again sometime bird boy. Oh by the way, one last thing before I go. Thanks for the suit it really has been useful. Don't ever forget that thanks to you the world has Red X to fear." Red X said before teleporting off to parts unknown.
"Damn it he got away again! How could I let this happen?" Robin said to himself as he piled Raven, Starfire, and Beast Boy's bodies into the T-Car. Robin was about to load Cyborg in as well but he came to and got to his feet while muttering under his breath "Man…It feels like I just ran a 5000 mile marathon and got hit by a truck. Where am I anyways?" Robin quickly took noticed to this and took a sigh of relief that at least one member of his team would definitely be alright. "I'm glad you're safe Cyborg I would've never forgiven myself if you were injured as well." Robin said before breathing a sigh of relief. Cyborg took in his surroundings and remembered what had happened when he had been knocked unconscious "Where is he? Where's Red X? I'll kick his ass for using me a like some sort of turret." Cyborg shouted making it quite evident that the only thing on his mind at the moment was revenge. "He got away," Robin said in a low monotone clearly mad at himself for letting all of this happen to his friends "anyways we have more pressing matters at hand. We have to hurry back to the tower. Beast Boy, Raven, and Starfire are all in critical condition thanks to Red X." Cyborg took note of this and quickly ran to the T-Car and jumped into the driver's seat while Robin jumped into the shotgun position of the car while Cyborg revved up the car and raced home hoping to get there before it was too late.
