Chapter 2

War on the city

So everyone this is the second half and yes renegadepinapple I know what nuclear radiation is but that wouldn't mutate you it would just kill you painfully and slowly.

"look upon my works ye mighty and weep!"

They ran until they thought they were going to burst.

"we can't keep this up Robin!" shouted Cy.

Robin looked behind him at the army of mutants that were eagerly running down the street intent on killing them all. It had been two hours since Robin had shot the creature in the store room. Raven was still un-couscous but luckily there was no long term damage. Of course Cyborg was right. No matter how fast or long they ran for more mutants seemed to spill out of the alleyways and try to get at them. If they kept on running they would exhaust them selves and if faced with a fight they would surely lose. Robin held up his hand signalling them all to stop.

"we are going to fight them, if we find some cover and hold our ground I'm sure we can win" he said, not a glimmer of doubt in his voice.

"five thousand of them and five of us," Beast boy mused ",I like those odds".

Robin looked around. They were on the north-west part of the city. There was a lot of debris on the ground that could easily make a temporary post.

"BB, me and you will make a temporary post here, Cy, Star you cover us".

No one argued. BB turned in to an elephant and started to pick up pieces of corrugated steel up and putting them on the floor in a sturdy line. Robin meanwhile was pulling a roll of steel mesh over the steel. Cyborg and Starfire were holding off the mutants…just. Cy shot two in the head with his sonic cannon and a star bolt from Star killed another three.

"we need a few more minutes" Robin shouted over the sound of explosions.

"I can only give you about one minute max, after that they'll be all over us" he said ducking a claw before blowing it off.

Robin and BB didn't know how they did it but in around fifty seconds they had made a pretty sturdy post.

"ok get in!" he yelled.

Star grabbed Cyborg by the shoulders and flew him in to the square shaped fort. It was about four metres square with no openings, if they were surrounded then they would be trapped. Star started peppering the mutants with star bolts and lasers from her eyes on the East side. BB changed in to a giant spider and sprayed them with web so that Cy could get a clear shot on the South side. On the West side Robin was loading rounds of bullets in to mutants. He still had his hunting rifle and he had also picked up two pistols and ammo from some dead cops. If he run out of bullets he still had half a dozen birdorangs. The onslaught of mutants made it up to the walls of the fort and started banging on it. Three or four tried to climb the mesh only to impale themselves on the barb wire Robin had set down.

"it's a shame that Rae isn't conscious, she could teleport us out of here" shouted Cy.

"for her good and everyone else's we must continue fighting" replied robin, blowing off a mutants head and lethally wounding another.

They continued to fight like this for another five minutes but there appeared to be no apparent decline in the numbers of the mutant wave. In a couple of minuets the mutants would break open a wall and clamber through. Robin knew this but did not tell the others. He was sure they too knew but if they didn't he did not want to make them lose hope. He felt responsible. This was a bad idea and now they were going to perish for it. He paused to reload his gun only to realise that he was out of ammo. Drawing the two pistols he started firing them randomly in to the crowd. He hit and killed a few mutants but foe every one he hit it seemed two more would take it's place. Then suddenly he had an idea.

"Cover me!" he shouted.

The others turned obediently, occasionally mowing down the odd creature that got to close. Then with no warning what so ever the boy wonder chucked a stream of birdorangs out, obliterating the first line. Before the others could take there place he chucked another birdorangs close to the crowd. After a second it exploded taking a large chunk of the mutants with it.

"don't try to follow me, just cover" he said wasting no time.

Then against all logic he jumped over the side and ran towards the West. The others started to cover. Then the shock of what just happened hit Star.

"Robin no!" she screamed.

She jumped in to the air about to fly off but Cy grabbed her leg and pulled her back down.

"Star, Robin is gonna be ok, he said don't follow him and were not".

He looked as Robin hit the mutants with his Boa staff, he was almost out of the crowd.

"Robin knows what he is doing," he spoke again holding Star in a tight hug before adding under his breath ",I hope".

Robin was clear know. Some of the mutants followed him but the majority stayed at the post. Then one of the walls gave way. There was a sickening felling inside of Beast boys gut as he watched the horde of mutants swarm towards them.
