Chapter seventeen

"I won't fight you," countered the green changeling, looking the telekinetic straight in the eye. Terra glared at him.

He took a step back. "You want to kill me then, fine. But I'm not going to hurt someone I care about."

Terra gritted her teeth. "You will fight me!"

She began to run towards the shapeshifter, anger written on her face. She was knocked sideways by a starbolt. The blonde pressed her hands to the floor and flipped neatly on to her feet. She glowered at the Tameranian.

"Beast boy may not fight you," shouted the Tameranian princess, her eyes glowing green. "But I will not forgive you for what you said and did to Raven!"

"And that will be your downfall," replied Terra, running forwards and then leaping onto a rock. The green bolts flew past like a storm of locusts but, sadly none of them made impact.

Terra flew in front of the angered redhead and put her hands on her hips, whilst grinning. "Too bad, Starfire. I actually liked you."

She brought her hands up, as two large plateaus of the earth raised to the sky. Then she brought her together, as Star realised what was about to happen. But it was too late.

The two plateaus came in and crunched together, trapping the alien – crushing her. Raven gasped.

"No," she said, bringing her hands up to her face. "No, no, NO."

"STARFIRE!" shouted Robin, running over and scaling the large highland and trying to claw his way inside. It was futile. The rocks were sealed tight.

"Aw, Robin," sneered Terra, floating nearby. "Am I in the doghouse?"

"No, but you'll soon be in the cemetery," growled the dark haired man, flipping backwards and landing on the rock. He landed a punch to the girls head and she flew off the rock.

Of course – without the telekinetic upon it – the rock also started to plummet. Robin fell helplessly, looking for something to grab.

It was a moment before he realised he had stopped moving. The rock was encased in black, and Raven brought it slowly to the ground.

"Thanks, Raven," said Robin, smiling at the Azarathian. She gave a small nod.

"Oh, you are gonna regret that, faithful leader," snarled the blonde, rising to her feet and brushing the blood away from her face. The remaining three titans turned and looked at her.

"Why are you doing this?" Raven asked again. "Just stop now. I'm not going to fight you either."

"Oh, you will," Terra confirmed. "But for the time being I want to deal with Robin."

Robin was already there, his blows just being dodged. Terra moved aside as if it were a simple work out. Robin kept going, his martial arts pushed to the limits.

Sweat began to break out on his forehead – yet she remained cool, calm and collected. Very similar to Slade. Frighteningly so.

"I'm getting bored, Robin," growled the girl. Her face was sneering, malicious and malevolent.

Her eyes glowed yellow ominously before a low rumbling was heard.

The titans looked around as a pile of rocks seemed to fall from the sky onto Robin. He tried to run but they followed him.

"Run, Robin," scoffed Terra, glaring at the man. She flicked her wrist and with precision they fell directly on him.

"NO!" screamed Raven and Cyborg. Beast boy looked down, a tear dripping off his nose.

"No."

Terra ducked efficiently as the plasma cannon blasted a hole in the outcrop behind her. She looked up.

"LEAVE MY FRIENDS THE HELL ALONE YOU PSYCO BITCH!" shouted Cyborg, his cannon smoking as it reprimed. Terra placed her hand on her hip.

"Or what?" she questioned, nastily. "You'll 'kick my ass'?"

"Damn straight!"

He ran towards her, as Raven cried for him to stop. But Cyborg was past caring. This girl was tearing the team apart – again.

He smacked the ground, and the earth began to crumble beneath her feet. Terra leapt onto a rock as it began to occur, sighing. She crouched and flew directly at the metal man who tried to punch her. But it was in vain. She was too high up – he could not reach.

He leapt up and down trying to hit her. Terra stopped and circled him.

"Need a hand?"

She brought her own hand up towards the sky and raised the man up as high as it was possible for the eye to see.

"Whats that?" mocked Terra, putting her hand to her ear. "You want to come down? Okay."

She brought her hands together as the rock completely crumbled and Cy began to tumble to earth.

Raven heard her brain screaming at her – "QUICK! STOP HIM!"

As she opened her mouth to take a breath she was knocked flying by another rock. She hit the wall then the floor.

"Don't even think about it, witch."

Cy hit the floor, with a resonating thud that cracked the earth. His blue systems faltered to grey as a lone word escaped his lips.

"Sorry."

Raven scrambled to her feet just in time to hear this and glared at Terra.

"You…"

"I told ya you'd fight me. It's inevitable really, isn't it? I hurt your friends, you go mad, I fight you."

"I won't fight you."

"Not even now?"

"NO!" shrieked Raven, the blood pounding around her ears. "This is what you want me to do. And I will not do it."

"Who says you have a choice? I get to kill you anyway, Raven. Even if you don't fight back it will just make my job easier."

Raven glanced at Beast boy. He seemed to have lost his mind. He was sitting crying, but not moving his eyes or his face. She swallowed.

Terra continued. "You see all this?"

She pointed to the fallen titans, the destruction and then herself.

"This is your fault, Raven. I hope you like what you've done to your precious friends."

She kicked the Azarathian square in the chest as she hit the wall and then fell to the floor.

Summoning a sharp flint to her hands Terra began pacing towards the floored girl. She gripped the stalagmite tighter, as she approached her.

"This is the end of the line, Raven. This is your destiny – my destiny."

She raised the granite above her head slowly, the evil look in her eyes frightening Rae to her very core. What was she going to do?

The only thing she could.

Raven looked up at Terra – looking her in the eyes until the very last. "Kill me. I hope you find peace in your heart one day."

"Oh, I won't," snarled the girl. "You've destroyed me. There is no going back."

She began to bring the sharpened rock down.

Don't kill me! I will update soon! Promise! X3

Anyway, Terra probly seems pretty strong. Well, she is. Remember this is 5 years on and that the other titan's judgement was clouded by emotion. Well, anyway, hope you enjoyed it.
