CHAPTER 4: LAST BATTLE"Teen Titans Go!" Cyborg shouted, aiming one of his blue blasters at Slade.
The other titans came from behind him, charging at Slade.
A smile came to Robin's face as he ran towards Cyborg. "How?"
"Slade was dumb enough to overlook Raven's powers." Cyborg explained. "When she first woke up, she got all angry and stuff, and you know what happens next. But she used a lot o' power, man, and I doubt she can still fight."
Robin frowned and looked at Raven, who was standing under Starfire, fighting Slade with her bare hands, sending him kicks and punches.
"Friend Raven, be careful!" Starfire shouted, sending a few fireballs.
The demon lost her concentration, and looked at Starfire, when Slade's fist made contact with her cheek, sending her down.
Starfire gasped. "Do not hurt my friends!" She shouted, aiming her hand at Slade. "Please surrender. None of us wish to hurt you."
"Speak for yourself." Robin charged at Slade.
"You think you can defeat me?" Slade said, blocking all of Robin's continuous attacks.
"Shut up!" Robin kicked at Slade's ankles.
"You think you and your silly friends can defeat me?" he quickly evaded Robin's kick.
A sinister laugh escaped Slade's masked mouth, he wrapped his fingers around Robin's neck, draining him of his breath.
"No!" Starfire started hitting him with her fireballs, he blocked them with Robin's hanging body.
"Robin! We must help him!" Starfire cried.
"Star, stop!" Cyborg pulled down her hands. "He has Robin."
Robin choked on his words, trying desperately to unwrap Slade's fingers. He watched as the frantic faces of his fellow titans started to become a blur. "S-sto-stop…"
Slade felt a kick at the side of his stomach, as he released Robin and dropped him on the floor.
Raven had her fists in front of her face, breathing hard.
"Feel bad for your dead friend, Raven?"
"I don't feel!" Raven started another series of kicks and punches.
Robin dragged his body with his arms, crawling to his friends.
Starfire stopped hitting Slade and ran towards Robin to give him another breath-taking hug.
"S-s-star…I-ca-can't-…-b-brea-breathe…"Robin's voice was shaky, as Starfire released him.
"Where's Raven?" He asked.
Starfire looked at the dark figures. "Fighting Slade."
"Didn't you even bother to help her?" Robin shouted.
"Robin…we thought…" Starfire was about to cry.
"Man, we thought you were dead! And Star here almost had a heart attack when she saw you!" Beastboy shouted.
"Never mind…I'm sorry Star, I didn't mean to." He looked at her tearstained face.
"Robin, you like are my big brother. I can not lose you." Starfire said. "Now, we must help Friend Raven."
They found Raven and Slade battling for their lives in a death match.
The floor was bloodstained and their faces were tiresome. Raven's cloak was torn and shaggy, stained with red.
Slade's mask had little drops of blood and his suit was as bloody as Raven's cloak.
"Ready to give up yet, Raven?" He asked.
Hearing his hypnotizing voice made the hair in the back of Raven's head stand up.
"I don't give up." She replied in her usual monotone.
Slade's foot made contact with her cheek, and she fell to the ground.
"Raven, Raven, Raven. When will you learn?" He pulled her by her purple hair, and he crouched to face her. "You are nothing. You deserve to die."
She turned her head away.
She felt Slade's grip loosen as she opened her eyes to see that Robin got Slade's attention.
Starfire rushed towards her. "You are alright, yes?"
"I'm fine." Her teeth were still gritted and her eyes never left Slade's eye.
Cyborg and Beastboy were fighting Slade with Robin.
"He's right." She whispered. "I am nothing."
Tears went down her cheeks, and a few things in the room exploded.
"Friend Raven…" Starfire tried desperately to comfort her as more things shattered.
"Star, for once can you please stop talking." Raven now had four eyes instead of two and they glowed red under the shadows of her cloak.
Raven grew tall and the others watched in horror as Raven's powers took control of her.
Slade and Robin watched Raven crawl toward them.
"Slade…" She said and her lips formed a crooked smile. "…die."
Slade watched as Raven formed a spiral around him, like a snake about to kill it's victim.
"You're a devil…." She continued, watching Slade's eyes grow wider. "…You deserve to die more than me…"
"Demon!" He cried exasperatedly.
She tightened her grip on his suited body, watching him struggle against her.
"Witch!" Slade shouted, continuing his taunts to lessen his anxiety.
She tightened her clutch. Everyone heard a few bones cracking.
Starfire cringed as se flew beside Robin who was standing near them, barely closing his eyes.
"Die." She whispered on Slade's ear, slowly tightening her grip.
"Raven!" Robin cried. "Stop!"
She blinked and her eyes turned back again.
She backed away, as Slade dropped to the ground.
She stared at her hands and her lip trembled.
Her breathing was hard and tears ran down her cheeks.
She looked at the titans who stared at her, afraid to came a step closer.
It was Robin who first came close to her, taking small steps.
"Rae, are you…alright?" He asked as he finally placed a hand on her shoulder.
The others followed.
"I…don't know." She replied.
Robin pulled her to a soft hug, and pulled away. His smile comforted her, and she felt that her anger was gone.
"I'm okay now." She said with a smile.
Starfire welcomed her with a breath-taking hug, and Beastboy said a few jokes. Cyborg said nothing but hugged Raven off her feet.
"How…sweet…" They heard a rough whisper.
He lifted his hand and revealed a small shotgun.
He took his aim and fired. It was the last thing he ever did.
Robin quickly looked down at his own chest. Blood was dripping and his heart beat fast.
He closed his eyes, thinking that any time, he would drop dead.
He looked up, seeing that the shot didn't hurt a bit, and saw that Raven's chest was dripping with blood and a small hole was right above her heart.
She looked deep into Robin's masked eyes, wishing that just once she could have seen beneath them.
She dropped to the floor, and lifted her hand to Robin's chin.
"No…" He cried, supporting Raven's back as she lay on the ground.
Raven placed her hand on the corner of Robin's mask and slowly removed his mask.
She looked into his deep blue eyes. They looked as cold as ice.
A smile played on her lips as a tear went down her cheek.
She closed her eyes, remembered every second she had with Robin.
Seconds later, her hand dropped to the ground. Holding Robin's mask.
He watched as her life slowly drowned in his hands, and he couldn't do anything about it.
"Friend Raven will awaken, yes?" Stafire asked as tears went down her cheeks.
"Robin, Friend Raven will be alright? She is…asleep?"
Robin walked out the door, carrying Raven's lifeless body in his hands.
"Friend Robin…" Starfire continued. "Friend Raven will awaken soon and she may walk on her own…and she will be…back to disliking us, yes?"
"There's nothing we can do, Star." Cyborg said, placing a hand on her shoulder. "Raven's Gone."
"Hey! Look on the bright side, now no one's gonna be the kill joy of the house!" He forced a fake chuckle, which ended up to be a rough cough.
All of the titans held back their tears.
Robin looked back. "Will you guys just SHUT UP!"
Starfire gasped at Robin's aggressive retort.
"We express our deepest apologies, Friend Robin. We did not mean to…"
"Star, please…this is no time for apologies." Robin replied.
"We're sorry, man. We're just…worried about you…" Cyborg said.
"I'm fine." He replied. "With Slade gone, it will be easier for us to fight."
"It's not about Slade." Beastboy added. "It's about Ra---"
"Like Cy said…Raven's gone." He said, with gritted teeth. He held beck his tears.
He pulled his mask from Raven's bloody hands and put it on.
Tears went down his cheeks and he kept his head down.
"And there's nothing we can do about it."
