Ch.10: A Dark Day
The Titans sulked around the tower after there battle. They all hated the fact they were defeated so easily. It has been 2 days after the battle and they haven't doe anything. Starfire has been worried to death about the city every time the flipped on a channel the news reporter was telling of a massacre. When Beast Boy turned on the t.v. a running news reporter came on screen.
"It has been 2 days of this massacre, and all of Jump City is asking the same thing, WERE ARE THE TITANS! HELP US PLEASE!"
Beast Boy flipped it off quickly but Starfire could take no more.
"Please friends why do we not help the citizens? Why do we stay away fro the Kruger and his minions? I will not sit here and watch our city fall to this mad man!" Starfire said while holding her arms.
"Star we can't fight them again, well get our asses kicked." Sighed Cyborg as he put a hand on her shoulder.
Starfire shrugged it off and looked at him in anger. She wanted to slap him but he was right, they could be killed, they could have been last time if Beast Boy hadn't of come by.
"That's it! Beast Boy you know the most about the villains, you could help us defeat them!" smiled Star as she flew over to the changeling who looked sadder than he ever had been.
"Star knowing them isn't enough anymore, they are different, if we can beat one of them another would beat us down."
"So…if we can destroy one that's better than nothing."
Beast Boy looked at her and let a small smile show.
"She's right, I mean together there unbeatable but when one dies then they are weakened. What do you think Robin?"
The Boy Wonder sat in a chair near a computer typing away furiously he sighed and shook his head.
"It's too dangerous, we can't endanger each other."
"So…I am ready to die if Jump City is safe."
Robin turned around and gave him a death glare.
"We got lucky last time, but this time we aren't even going to be lucky, we aren't going to do anything do you got it!"
Starfire looked at him and started to cry, she couldn't stand seeing her friends argue or the people she saved die at the hands of Kruger and his army. Robin looked at her and sighed he walked over to her and tried to hug her. Star backed away and slapped him across the face.
"Robin I am sorry but I am not going to sit here and let these people die. If you will not help us then we will do it on our own."
Star looked over to Beast Boy who stood beside her and Raven who took her side as well. Cyborg looked at Robin and back at his team and sighed, he knew it wasn't right to disobey his leader but he stood behind them all.
Robin rubbed the red mark growing on his face and went back to his computer.
"Fine if you want to kill yourselves go ahead and do it!" he yelled.
The Titans looked at him and left the tower, Robin sat in his chair and stared at his computer and got up to do some work. The others had begun there advance into the city. The city they once loved was now a wreck, buildings burned and bodies lay over the place. Blood stained the floor like they had never seen before.
"Where are the people?" asked Starfire.
"Were to late there all gone." Cyborg sighed.
"No there are people left there in the middle of the city." Raven said as she rubbed her head.
The Titans rode down the streets fast as they could hoping they could make it.
Kruger and his 4 generals looked in front of them. Most of the town stayed huddled together in a large group near a large building, behind Kruger stood 2 thousand warriors of the damned, all to disgusting to describe.
"Where are the Titans." cried a young woman.
"There not coming, they abandoned us, but we can't sit here and die, I say we fight!" yelled an older man.
"Ya we lived here all our lives, were not letting a couple hell born monsters destroy us, we have faced worse in our days!"
The people of Jump City looked ahead of them and yelled in anger, and like one big soldier they charge forward into the large army of dead.
"So they want to die do they? Good, then charge my army! Destroy them all!" yelled Kruger.
The army of the damned started to march row by row forward to the charging civilians. The two armies were about to hit when a haze of Star bolts flew through the sky and blasted a row of zombies away. The people looked up and yelled in excitement when they saw Starfire, Raven, and Beast Boy flying through the sky and landing in front of them all. Then a silver car came plowing through the army of the dead crunching there skulls and bones beneath its wheels. The people of Jump City came right behind the four Titans and gladly stood proud.
Kruger looked at the scene in front of him and laughed.
"So this is there army, 4 titans and a bunch of raggedy business me and a bunch of women and children? We can take them all in a matter of minutes."
The 4 generals looked at him and nodded, Kruger raised his finger and the dead began marching towards the people. Kruger laughed and watched the Titans charge forward along with the people. With a clash of thunder a raining pools of blood sprayed upon the city.
"So, it has begun, the battle of hell and earth is on its way. Good I was getting bored." Kruger smiled as he watched the bodies fall.
Robin sat in his work room building away on something that he was praying would work. But in hell, the masters sat in his throne laughing as he watched a portal to the world were he watched the war in front of him.
"I will soon walk the earth again! The morning star will rise!"
