Robin walks down a dark hallway…He was on a space ship… He was confronting Slade…Robin found him sooner than he would have hoped. They drew they're staffs…

Robin jumped over a swipe from Slade. Slade then brought the staff over his head and broke Robins in half. Robin then did the same. They're staffs both resembled swords, and they used them accordingly. Suddenly, in a wave of power, Slade swiped the staff-sword through Robins arm and cut off his hand.

"OH! You cut off my hand!" Robin screamed in pain as he fell to the ground.

"…Robin…Batman never told you of your father…did he?"

"He told me enough! He told me you killed him!"

"Hm…there is something I must reveal then…I AM YOUR FATHER!"

"NOOOOOO!"

Robin and Starfire watched in horror as the TT movie started to pick up.

"Wow…who ever thought this up was good…"

"Indeed, but I believe we should get to the true chapter 3, yes?"

"Yeah, I guess."

Chapter 3: The Mistake

ROB-ROB-ROB-ROB

Robin looked to his new friend to see if he was up for it. He was more than up to it, he was already doing it. "Right then, better get started." Robin punched out one of the guy's friends. This started a chain reaction of ass whooping. The entire bar began to fight. E-V-E-R-Y-O-N-E. The bartender took a stool and smashed it over a man head, while one of the whores from upstairs ran down and kicked a man in the crotch. Robin and Cyborg, after beating the snot out of the first guy, ran to the safety of the street outside.

"Wow, that was…um…" Robin began, scratching the back of his head.

"THE COOLEST THING EVER!" Cyborg shouted, finishing Robins sentence. Robin smiled at this. It was one of the most awesome things that had ever happened to bless his god-forsaken life.

"Glad you had fun," Robin began "but I think we better get out of town. The owner of that bar is going to be piiiiiiiiiised." Robin stretched out the 'i' for effect. Cyborg nodded and they both ran into the fields that surrounded the town. "So, Stone, where are you headed?" (Cyborg will be known as Stone for the entire story unless a fan can give me a better name…. Sorry, but Cyborg just doesn't fit the time period. The word 'Cy' is just a short word for cybernetics. So, like I said, it doesn't fit. I will refer to him as Cyborg for the reader, so you don't get confused, unless someone finds a better name. And I'm done. Why the hell are you still reading this? Isn't my story good? …Glorgasmalkel. If you just wasted your time reading that random jumble of letters, then you are reading this little cut from the story WAAAY too much. I'm serious. STOP READING THIS PARAGRAPH.)

"…Nowhere really. Just going where the wind takes me I guess. I'm trying to become famous, so I can try and stop slavery. What about you?" Cyborg said, keeping his long strides short so Robin could keep up without getting tired.

"Me? I'm heading toward the castle to get a job I was offered." Robin said.

"Oh, mind if I tag along for awhile? Er…not too many people are nice to a…ahem…ya know…colored." Cyborg said, almost ashamed of asking.

"Doesn't bother me a bit. But do you know where the castle is? I know it's in this direction, but I don't have a map." Robin said. He really didn't know where the castle was. He had been in that damned building for his entire life, so he knew little of the outside world. He had been on enough job to understand slang, and even speak a little of it, but would never dare around Slade.

"Oh yeah, easy one dude." Cyborg closed his eyes and then pointed slightly left of the direction they were currently going. "Couple years back, a wizard put a bit of magic in my head. Allows me to go special stuff if I think hard enough."

Robin nodded in understanding. Must have been a powerful wizard, from what Robin could make of his new 'friend'. Robin began walking the direction Cyborg pointed, and Cy quickly followed.

After many hours of walking, the two made camp.

"So there I was…surrounded by at least fifty ghouls. Jumped under the one guarding my sword. I grabbed it quickly, and cut the foul beast in half. The others charged, and I erupted in a fireball. It killed the rest. So, I ran to the back of the cavern, grabbed the Sword of Vhaln…"

"THE SWORD OF VHALN!" Cyborg screamed at the top of his lungs. "That thing is at least, AT LEAST, six feet long! It's supposed to magically weigh, like, 500 pounds!"

"Yeah, that was the hard part!" Robin said, glad that his new friend was interested in his story of battle. "Anyway, so here I am giggle dragging this thing threw this cavern! I try to put it over my shoulder laugh and I drop the damn thing!" Cyborg chuckled at this. "So here I am, right, carrying this freaking thing across both my shoulders, when more ghouls come around. So I turn around to run, and the sword fly's from my hands, and stabs one of the ghouls through, and literary, cuts the rest of them to ribbons!"

"Wow…"

"So I finally get this sword to my boss, and he tosses it into a storage closet! Haven't seen it since."

"Are you serious?"

"Aw, do I look like I would lie to you?"

"Man…so the sword is really that powerful?"

"Come on! The guy who used it almost destroyed the entire plain we live in!"

(A plain is kind of like reality. Except, because of magic, in this world, the existence of the other realities is proven. Now, there is no 'alternate universe clones' thing going on. Lets pretend plain one monkeys evolved so, Humans and other forms of human elves dwarfs, ect. rule. Now, plain two: Fish evolved first, so that is a plain made almost entire of water, and unsuitable for humans. But here is the twist. Beings from other plains have sometimes escaped from a realm they think is bad, and entered a new one. So that is why there is more that just humans. Whew.)

"I guess you have a point. I betcha Vhaln could even destroy that 'Salde' guy going around messing up things…"

"No kidding." Robin said. He knew what Cyborg meant by 'Salde'. Slade. Cyborg just pronounced it wrong. "Heh, too bad he was destroyed." Robin thought, thinking about how wonderful it would be to be free from Slade.

"So, Charles, we are gonna go through the forbidden forest? Shouldn't we, ya know, avoid that place? I've heard some crazy stories…"

"Nope. We're going through. The path that cuts through the forest is on the other side from where we are, and we aren't gonna walk in a circle to get a place we could get to much easier by going through a 'cursed' forest." Robin answered Cyborg. "That, and that path is heavily guarded. And I'd like for the guards not to see me…" Robin thought.

"Well, the forest is right over there. All we need to do is…" Cyborgs head shot to the left. "Hey man…something is glowing over there…" Cyborg stood up. Robin followed suit. "It's a torch," Cyborg said, closing his eyes again. "Apparently, someone's out for a late night stroll…"

"…This way…" Robin darted off to the left, and hid in a nearby tree. They had been walking through a pretty flat field, but they had decided to make camp next to a small group of trees that had broke off from the forbidden forest. They provided a little firewood. Cyborg followed. Robin and Cyborg sat on a high branch as a few people started to gather near the bottom of the trees.

"Ok, has anyone seen them?"

"Aw man! They're still looking for us?" Cyborg quietly moaned to 'Charles'.

"Apparently…" Robin said, glaring at the quickly growing mass of people before him. "Be quiet. It could be bad if they find us."

"They aren't getting away with destroying my bar! Remember, I'll pay 10 gold pieces a head!" The crowed seemed to get excited before moving on. (BTW A copper piece 1 penny. Silver piece 1 dollar. Gold piece 100 dollars. Platinum piece 1,000 dollars. I don't care if the book goes with my scale. Screw you.)

Robin looked down in his coin pouch, and scoffed at his mere 20 silver pieces. "Hey Stone…I just got a great idea…" Stone looked at him with a loud gulp.

TtTtTtTtTtTtTtTtTtTtTtTtTtTtTtTtTtTtT

A man with a black cloth sack over his head walked with a half man towards a large group of people with torches. The leader of the group turned and looked at the two newcomers.

"Hey…you're the colored we're looking for!" The stranger smiled. His plan was, so far, working perfect. They hadn't recognized him. "So…I'm guessing you want your reward, huh stranger?" The stranger nodded his head through the cloth. The leader threw him his small sack of gold. The stranger then, with the colored, turned and sprinted away. The group was too dumb struck to follow quickly.

ROB-ROB-ROB-ROB-ROB-ROB

Robin torn the sack from his head and laughed as he threw the gold into his coin pouch. Cyborg joined him in his laughter. They had just gotten a free 10 gold pieces, and both of them were fine. Not only that, but now the group was unorganized and angry, and would have more difficulty following them. Also, as luck would have it, they were reaching the forbidden forest that nearly surrounded the entire castle. The group would never follow them in there. It was 'cursed'.

Robin began to slow down about five paces into the forest. "Hey Stone, go ahead and slow down. We're safe here." Cy took his orders, and stopped, lightly huffing.

"OH MAN THAT WAS AWESOME!" Robin smiled. He reached into his coin pouch and brought out 50 gold pieces. He then tossed them to Cyborg. "Oh…thanks!" This was the first time Cyborg had ever held this much money. Robin began walking deeper into the forest, and Cyborg quickly followed.

"So, what're you gonna do with your half of the money?" Cyborg asked Robin.

"Buy new armor. As you can tell," he pointed down to himself "this isn't very good armor."

"Snicker I think you should buy yourself some nice pants." Cyborg pointed to Robins near lack of clothing. It was like he was wearing underwear, with small plates of metal covering the parts of his legs past his knees. "Or some shoes…your feet are probably cut to hell and back, huh?" Indeed, Robin wore no shoes.

"Yeah…I think I'll go with your idea. Anyway, how about you?" Robin asked. They were pretty deep into the forest, and nothing had happened. Robin knew this 'curse' thing was BS.

"I think I'm gonna buy some upgrades. Ya know, maybe turn this arm into metal, ya know, that sorta stuff." Robin nodded. Sounded good to him.

"Hey Stone…how is this forest cursed? I mean, nothing has happened yet. Not even a monster!"

"Yeah, that's the thing though. Even monsters are afraid of this place." At this, Robin's face went a shade paler. Everyone knew that monsters had a 6th sense when it came to curses. "Supposedly, once someone enters the forest, he becomes totally inept with his weapon. Or the weapon you bring into the forest turns against you or something. But, apparently, you CANNOT be killed by that same weapon."

"So…my weapon turns against me…but I become immune to it? What the hell do you mean?"

"Ok, let's say this little curse actually works. The next time you try to use your swords, they'll break or something. Then, every time you try to use any type of sword, it will break again. But you can choose a new weapon to be good at, or a weapon that you're already good at, but didn't bring into the forest, and you can use it instead. But about the immune thing, if you get cut in half with a sword, you'll be fine. Of course it's only legend. So don't sweat it." Cyborg said finishing his speak. "Dude! Look, we're here!"

"Great." Robin and Cyborg walked over to a inn and bought a room.
