Little Red Ravenhood: Oh Dude! They are making a Teen Titans movie. It's called Teen Titans: Tokyo, it isn't going to the theaters but who cares really? I'd defiantly buy it. Right Out!

Invader Crystal: At least you guys got something that somewhat resembled food. I don't even want to think of the slop they served back at my school. The dough in the school pizza was so uncooked that you could literally mold a sculpture out of it. Not to mention that it went up a nickel every year.

Boynetouch: Thanks, I can't wait to see what you think of this chapter.

Woot: No kidding, BATMAN!

Kazzy 103: Who in their right mind would ever call Star stupid or dumb. She is not dumb! She is just a little naïve about the ways of earth and human behavior. That's why she's one of my favorite characters; it makes her so funny and cute. In actuality she's a lot smarter than most members of the team (regular or Titans East), Starfire's brilliance really shines in with her innocent nature. That is so, because the truly innocent have a talent for recognizing things in nature for what they really are. Thanks about your critique with Robin and Slade; Slade would seem like a really easy character to do but he's actually quite complex. The easiest part about him is that he's evil, no doy, what's hard is how he weaves about trying to carry out his plans whatever they may be.

I know I probably sound so stupid for asking this, me being the freaking author and all; but where exactly did a make a reference to bats? Are you talking about when Batman showed up? I was just a little confused about that.

Anwen: Don't panic! Robin will not stay bad, he can't. After all, he's Robin.

Samanthe2121: And what a scandal is it. Hope you like this chappy.

Certified Teen Titan: I was wondering, where does the URL you wrote down go to? Just curious.

Shemka Oka: Well I wouldn't want to be responsible for someone's death. Especially if they died because they were waiting on me. Good thing it's not in my nature to keep people waiting for long. So glad you like it so far, enjoy the chapter!

Oenone: If I had to choose which Tim Burton Batman I liked better; I'd have to say the first one with Joker. Jack Nicholson did such a good job playing him.

Jeanniestorm: Ohhh yes there will be a-lot-o butt wooping. Maybe he's going to try and kill Star maybe not. You'll just have to read and find out.

GreenDayRox1999: Yeah, I really couldn't resist.

Cottoncandyclouds: Oooh, ahhh, a broken light is not a good thing. Yes sword fighting is best fit for outside where these is no roof. However I wish I had your accident. I own a sharpened metal Japanese sword as well and last year, well, let's just say I didn't execute a move properly. I attempting a swipe my Dad showed me and I cut across the tip of my forefinger on my left hand. Needless to say it freakin' hurt. Now I've got a little round scar across the tip of forefinger from almost cutting it off entirely. Something like that really teaches you to be extra careful. And don't worry about our boy Robin, Star's coming to knock to some sense into him, figuratively and literally.

Starfire-is-not-a-wimp: You mean you haven't seen Batman yet? If you haven't; THEN GET YOURSELF ON DOWN TO THE FREAKIN' THEATER AND SEE IT! I really can't emphasize it any more than that without sounding completely nuts, though I probably already have. Hmm, Oh well.

As far as getting off the computer I know exactly what you mean; only it's not me. It's my sister. Morning, noon, and night she's on the family computer reading Inuyasha fanfic. I suppose everyone has their own preferences but come on, get off for a while! It got to point where Dad had to restrict the website from being accessed. Luckily and thankfully I can get on the web in my room so it's all good.

I just got through watching "Mother May Aye" and I sat in silence for a couple of minuets trying to piece together what I just saw. Then finally I came to the conclusion, the episode was completely insane. It was just as quirky as I thought it would be from the previews on CN. Though I thoroughly enjoy just about any TT episode (with the exceptions of "Deep Six" and "The Beast Within"). I could list my favorites but that would dragon all day and you don't want to have to endure my rambling. SEE I'm doing it now!

So you've basically got all the Tamaranian holidays figured out. That's so awesome! I'll have to remember to send you a "Happy Blorthog" e-mail come next January. I know I'm so glad summer is here. Time for TT episodes, reading and writing fan fics, and practicing kendo :Pauses for moment: Oh wait I always do that…..well there's more time to do. Can't wait for your next review.

X'hal!

Story Weaver1: Yeah, though I did say at the very beginning of this story that it is a Star Wars parody. So naturally some of it will be a little similar. Glad you like it so far!

TTHPFan: Yes you would think someone who supposedly knows Slade that well would be suspicious all the way to the end, but nooooo. Robin has to let his mixed emotions blind him from what's really going on. Oh well, Starfire will be along to knock some sense into him. This is actually the chapter I've been looking forward to getting around to writing, so I hope you like it just as much. Dude I'm right behind you with being left alone with Terra. Who knows what would happen should anyone of her enemies (and they are many) be left alone with her. In fact she may just disappear and then fifty years later one of her shoes will turn up on the coast of Hawaii or something.

Dan Ratcliff is still just fifteen? Really? Hmm, he looked a little older to me last time I saw him. I'll tell who looks different is Tom Felton; the way he looks in PoA is totally different from the two before it. I'm not irritated by it or anything, it just looks kinda weird.

Sure I know who Gary Oldman is. He's one of my favorite actors cause he's one of those actors who can do an awesome job at pulling off a hero or a villain (visa vi "Airforce One"). And he was excellent as Gordon in Batman. I've seen it three times now, I can't wait until it comes out on DVD. I got so hyped up about it when I first read an article about the characters because Ra's Al Ghul and Scarecrow are my two favorite villains from Batman. You know! You know, if we could combine them with some TT villains that could make a pretty good fic. Hmm, oh well! Getting back to the point. I'm not really sure if it originally was Ra's Al Ghul who trained Bruce but I'm not an expert so what do I know. Alright enough of my rambling, I'll stop so you can go ahead and read the fic. Laters!

Dan-

Mewtant307k: You know that's really good to hear. I seriously don't get too many reviews like that. That's great, I'm glad you're liking the story so much. If you like it (along with everyone else who reads it) then I'm happy. Yeah did Terra really think Raven would get stuck in a portal she created? I think not. No there really are only hints of fluff right now but there will be some in this and the last chapter. What's funny is that someone else who reviewed for this said that Terra was a deranged psycho in the comics, just like in my story. So I said, "Well that's just fine." And thank you, I would most defiantly rather have you as a fan than an enemy. Yup, can always use one less enemy: Whistles around inconspicuously: Anywho, are you a registered user on If not then I could e-mail you whenever I update or start a new story. Only if you want. Glad you like it so far.

A Fan of Romance: I know I even get mad at myself sometimes, but it really can't be helped. I hope you enjoy this next part!

Azngrl88: Its quite simple really, Raven was able to get out because she's the one who created the portal in the first place. Plus we've seen Raven travel between plains of existence before (visa vi "The Prophecy").

Thank you for all the reviews, I enjoyed reading them so much. Here for you now is the next installment, ENJOY!

Chapter Eight

Breaking Free

Robin stood atop the roof of the tower he had just over powered and looked out over the ocean. He stood with a terrible scowl, as if he was angry for what had recently happened but was still without remorse. Robin had changed.

BACK AT TITANS TOWER…………….

Beast Boy paced around nervously outside Raven's room. The dark Titan had pulled Terra inside behind her and forbade anyone from intruding on them. It had been an hour and half since the Raven had shut and locked the door. Cyborg walked on up munching on an ice cream bar while holding another three in his arms.

"Yow BB," he asked threw a mouthful of chocolate and vanilla.

"Cy they've been in there for almost two hours, maybe I should go in." Cyborg gulped down he last of his first bar and shook his head.

"Bad idea; first, remember she doesn't like anyone going into her room. Second, she locked the door and there ain't much you can do about that."

"Oh really," he asked holding up a small bit of paper. On it Cyborg made out a six digit code and instantly knew what it was.

"YO! How'd you get that?"

"I'll tell you some other day, but I think I really need to be in there-"

"Beast Boy," interrupted Cyborg. He stopped and looked up at him. "You sure you'd be okay in there? I know you and Terra have history, bad or good, either way it could be dangerous for you."

"Listen Cy I know Terra's lunatic but I can handle her, I promise." Cyborg shrugged his shoulders and stood in the changeling's way no longer. Beast Boy entered the emergency access code into the panel next to Raven's door and as it slid open he took a bounding step inside. Raven was sitting on her bed and her head snapped in his direction. He looked around and saw Terra completely unbound and sitting in a corner all by herself. Beast Boy went up to her and waved a hand in before her eyes, she didn't even blink halfway.

"Raven what did you do to her?"

"We had a little talk is all, and we we're not finished yet. Are we Terra?"

"No Raven," said Terra in a monotone. Beast Boy quickly looked back at her. "We are not done yet." Beast Boy gazed at her utterly bewildered.

"Again Raven, what did you do?" Raven rose from her bed and walked up behind Beast Boy.

"I'm sorry Beast Boy, but I simply have nothing good to say about her. She is nothing but an evil snake who will stop at nothing to get her way. She deserves to be locked away forever in a cage without a ke-"

"STOP IT!" Beast Boy boomed over Raven. He looked at her over his shoulder and then turned back to Terra. "She's done a lot of bad things yes but she's still a human being for God's sake. I mean look at her looks like she's seen a ghost." Raven snickered.

"Well she's certainly dead to me." She beckoned Beast Boy to step aside and he reluctantly moved over. Raven sat down before Terra. "Terra."

"Yes Raven?"

"Look at me." Terra obeyed without question and stared Raven directly in the eyes. She gazed at Raven with an almost childlike smile. "I want you to answer every one of my questions with complete honesty." Terra nodded.

"Okay Raven…what ever you say." Beast Boy gulped. It was almost too bizarre to even believe it was happening, yet it was. Raven must've given Terra a lobotomy or something; because this was so not Terra. Terra's gaze began to droop and Raven snapped her fingers before her. Terra's face popped back up.

"Pay attention to me," she ordered fiercely. "Now, tell just how you and Slade were planning to manipulate Robin." Terra took a deep breath.

"We planned to use his pained emotions and Slade's signature grip to slowly coax Robin into being both a willing and eager apprentice."

"How," said Raven shortly. A smile now spread across Terra's face.

"Now I want you to do something for me Raven…" Raven arched a brow. "I want you to picture an egg. Now picture this egg under the heel of your foot. What happens when you press down on the egg just a little..too..hard?" As she spoke her grin grew wider. Raven remained silent. "It breaks. SPLAT!" Raven and Beast Boy both jumped slightly. "Now replace the egg with Robin, and your heel with Slade's. You get what I'm saying? You catch my drift? Robin is gone Raven and there isn't a damn thing any of you can do about it." A slow and steady giggle then issued from the defeated girl. Beast Boy watched with growing dread as her giggle steadily grew into a ringing maniacal laugh. Raven stared wide eyed at the sight before and without a seconds hesitation snapped her fingers once more and Terra quieted instantly. The blonde former Titan stared blankly at the floor and began quietly humming to herself. Raven stood up and led Beast Boy a few feet away from the girl in the corner.

"Get a hold of the people at Arkham," she looked back at Terra. "Tell them they have a new patient on the way." Beast Boy however gave Raven a stern look.

"Why not do things your way?" She turned and narrowed her stare.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Beast Boy sighed and shook his head.

"Nothing, I'll go call those people." He swiftly moved out of her room leaving her alone once more with Terra. Raven sighed and stepped up to the girl once more.

"Just what were you and Slade up to…" Without looking up at her Terra let out a small chortle and shook her head.

"Oh it's too late anyway. You, Robin, me, all of us….there's no hope for any of us. We-are-all-doomed."

BACK WITH ROBIN…………………

Robin had remained in his spot on the Titans East roof, rooted where he stood. He had been procrastinating his return to Titans Tower to finish the job with his teammates but found he couldn't put it off for much longer. He kicked a few loose rocks off the side and turned to leave.

"Robin!" He stopped dead. Could it be? No, it was impossible. How could she be here? Robin whirled around and saw none other than Starfire gliding down not far from him. Open mouthed Robin looked around to see if anyone else was around but so no one. Though from high above them a tall solitary figure observed the two from a pair of night vision binoculars.

"Starfire," he said astonishment. She landed and held her arm while looking at him apprehensively. Robin stopped when he noticed that she wasn't exactly thrilled to see him. "Starfire what's wrong? How'd you get better so soon and so easily?" Starfire hung her head somewhat. "Starfire what is it?"

"Robin, what have you been doing?"

"What have I been doing? I've been slaving away trying to put together a vaccine for you and Beast Boy." Starfire nodded and crossed her arms.

"Really, and by what method did you use to acquire this vaccine?" Robin shifted around a bit.

"Well…What I did was…you see I was in a tight spot and you know when your desperate and uh, and uh." Starfire sent him a reproachful look. Finally he assumed she knew about what had transpired at Titans East. "It was necessary."

"Robin do you truly believe such a thing," asked Starfire. "I would never allow the defeat of my friends even if for the sake of my survival." Robin's mouth parted and he tilted his head at her.

"Are you saying…that everything I've done, which I've done for you, what I've been through…means absolutely nothing to you?" His face gradually transformed into a piercing frown. She sighed and shook her head.

"Forgive me Robin, but I simply cannot abide by what you have done." And Robin snapped. The small comm. link Slade had given him went off in his ear. 'You see Robin; even she doesn't appreciate what you did for her. If she escapes from here she will most likely report you to the authorities, she is therefore now an enemy and must be allowed to die.'

"Quiet," hissed Robin with his hand to his ear. Starfire unfolded her arms and arched an eyebrow.

"Who are speaking to Robin? Could it perhaps be Slade? Is he not the one whom you have been conducting business with?"

"You don't know anything about that!" Shouted Robin.

"Robin I am cured of my ailment, please abandon Slade's presence and return with me."

"And I'm asking you not to get in my way Star. Everything I have done is for the greater good!"

"And you decide what the greater good is?"

"Yes!"

"The ends do not justify the means Robin," said Starfire. Robin turned away from her and began reaching for his assortment of throwing weapons.

"If you're not with me, then you're against me." Starfire hung her head once more and lifted off the ground a few feet. Her eyes glowed green as did her balled up fists and stood ready.

"Only someone who delves in the criminal activities would say such things. It pains me to say that I must do battle to whomever adopts such a mindset." Robin extended his staff and took a deep breath.

"As do I." He whirled around and threw up a trio of bird-a-rangs. Star blasted two of them and dodged the third. She returned fire with a few scattered starbolts followed by a stream from her glowing eyes. Robin back flipped a number of times to avoid the balls of energy but got struck in the gut by her eye beams.

"You're skills should have granted you the ability to avoid that," said Starfire. "However, anger and hate cloud your judgment. It is because of this that you cannot claim victory today."

"Enough!" Robin shouted at her and jumped high into the air with his staff high above him. Starfire gazed wide-eyed and open mouthed as Robin aimed to land down on her. She reached up and crossed her arms in an X formation to block his attack. He slammed down on her and she gritted her teeth from the force she had to absorb. She pushed aside his momentum and round house kicked him. He flew back about thirty feet and skidded to a halt. The next thing he knew his bo-staff was simmering hot and he dropped it with a yelp. Robin looked back at Star to see her lowering her hand. With an animalistic growl he pitched an ice disk and it struck her in the left leg. Firmly planted where she stood she pulled and tugged to get free but couldn't. She looked up and saw Robin once again charging towards her. She finally blasted her way out and allowed Robin to slip on the small patch of ice and tumble forward like a kick ball. He landed in a crumpled heap and Starfire hovered over him with a steady stream of tears running down her face. The clouds above them started drizzling hard drops of water over the battling teens.

"I was not delirious when we spoke in sickbay, I love you. Robin please come to your senses!" Robin staggered to his feet and held another set of bird-a-rangs. He panted heavily needing to catch his breath. He threw one and Starfire allowed it to cut across her leg. She winced and fell to her knees.

"What are you doing," asked Robin. "Defend yourself."

"I will not, I refuse to fight against you any longer. If this is truly the life you wish to lead than I will stand before you no longer. You must strike." Robin already had his shorter spare staff in hand and he was shaking from confliction. 'You heard her Robin; she must be allowed to die.'

"Attack me Robin," said Starfire still on her knees. She looked at him past her damped bangs and saw that he as listening to someone else also. 'Attack her Robin.' Robin looked around uncertainly then back at Starfire. 'Kill her Robin.'

"Kill me Robin." Finally Robin heard both Starfire and Slade say in exact unison. "ATTACK!" With a loud cry Robin darted forward, the rain drops bouncing off him as went. Starfire closed her eyes as Robin drew nearer and nearer. With just two feet of space separating them Robin brought down his staff…but Starfire never felt a it connect with her. With a small breath of relief Starfire slowly opened her eyes and saw Robin standing before her with his staff held just an inch above her head. Robin stood bent over with his mouth hanging wide open and his arms trembling. 'What are you doing Robin? Kill her. Kill her now!' Robin roughly pulled the earpiece out and threw it aside. The optical contacts soon followed suit. He dropped his small staff and it clattered to the ground then rolled off to the side. As for Robin himself he lost balance and fell backwards on the roof and began crawling away from Starfire. She stood and approached him.

"Robin…" She reached down to touch his shoulder but he recoiled and moved away. His hair was now matted over his head from getting wet.

"NO! Don't! I-I don't deserve it." Starfire knelt down beside him and reached around his waist. She felt him tense up like a rock but pulled him up to sitting position none the less. "Starfire…Oh God Star! Please, I'm so sorr-" She put her hand to his mouth to silence him.

"It is not I who needs the apologies Robin." He knew of course that she was referring to Titans East. She turned his face so that she could look at him. "However, I am most happy that you are no longer misguided," she said with her warm smile. "But now Robin we must make with the haste if we are to bring Slade to justice." She moved to get up but Robin did budge.

"I can't fight him Star, I'm no hero. I never wanted to loose you and I let him trick me. Do you understand Star?" She sat back down next to him. "I can't do it again, I can't go through loosing those who matter most to me…you mean too much to just let go." Before then he had almost forgotten that Starfire was actually with him and his eyes went wide when he realized what he had just confessed. Starfire took Robin's hand in both of hers.

"Please Robin, come with me." Again Robin simply sat in a despairing stupor. She thought for a moment. "What must I do to convince you to follow me?" Robin then looked back at her.

"The Starry eyes?" Starfire was a bit taken aback by this but then smiled impishly.

"If I must, I will employ them."

"Would you? Could you, please?" She smiled and happily obliged. She gazed directly into his eyes and let out a small whimper, she then allowed her lower lip to tremble just enough so that it was noticeable. Finally came Robin's favorite part, her eyes then sparkled like emeralds. It was as if Robin had just awoke from a spellbound captivity. He shook his head and smiled.

"Now how can I say 'no' to that face?" With a happy giggle Starfire helped him to his feet and handed him back his two lost weapons. "Alright, Slade's hiding in some house on the outskirts of Gotham so if we leave now we could be there before nightfall."

"Agreed Robin, however there is someone else who wishes to speak with you."

"What? Who?" She glanced over his shoulder and Robin turned to see his mentor standing behind him. Robin immediately stood up straight. "B-Bruce?"

Alright I know what you're thinking. And it's really not much of a cliffy. Batman just tells Robin a few things and that's about it. Even so, I'm still sorry for stopping there but I being yelled at to come down for dinner. Yeah I just found out that I have to eat in order to live and in turn to keep writing. So I promise not to keep yall waiting for long and I hope your liking it. See ya!
