Chapter 7
Fear

"Robin?" Starfire asked feebly to the darkness that surrounded her. She lit up her hand with one of her energy blasts, hoping that it would help her locate her friends.

"Anybody," she asked in almost a whisper. She continued to walk down the suddenly mirror less corridor. After calling out again for any sign of life, she came upon a doorway that led into a large, pitch-black inner corridor.

"Is anyone in here?" Starfire asked, raising her hand to emit more light into the room. As she raised her hand high, the light fell upon a strange shape in the middle of the room. She cautiously approached it. As she got closer the shape became recognizable. It was a human body. She picked up her pace, but she slipped and fell onto the floor. Starfire placed her hand into the dark pool of liquid that caused her to fall and brought her hand into the light. Starfire took a shark intake of breath as she saw the liquid had a blood red color to it. She quickly made her way to the body that was emitting the massive pool of blood. Starfire, slowly turned the body over, but she already knew who it was.

TTT

"Um…guys?" Beast Boy asked, when he realized that he was alone, in the suddenly mirror less corridor.

Taking out his communicator he called out for his teammates. No answer.

"Okay, I am getting totally freaked out here," Beast Boy cried and began to run in the direction he had been going in. Suddenly he tripped over what felt like a metal rod. Getting up and moving into a fighting position, he saw what had tripped him, rather who. Project Apprentice was standing before him with staff in hand, leaning up against the wall.

Summoning up the last of his courage, Beast Boy asked, "What did you do with my friends?"

"Why, are you scared?" Project Apprentice replied, moving closer to where Beast Boy was standing, "are you afraid of being alone, abandoned, without anyone to come to your aide. You think you aren't strong enough?"

"I'm strong enough to beat you," Beast Boy replied, transforming into a tiger. But he was right. He was afraid, he didn't want to be alone to fight this guy. "But I have to fight him," Beast Boy thought and lunged at his foe.

TTT

Cyborg's flashlight popped out of his shoulder to emit some light into the corridor. He activated his bionic eye to scan for any heat registers around him. Failing in his attempt to locate his friends mechanically, he called out for them.

"Guys?" he asked in a fully robotic voice. Startled he said, "What is wrong with my voice?"

Unable to regain his normal, human voice he touched his face. His face was completely metal. His skin was gone! Becoming frantic he ran down the corridor and encountered a mirror on the wall to his left, hanging from a pipe overhead, not realizing that this was all too convenient. He looked at himself in the mirror. He was fully robotic, not one part of his was organic anymore. He tried to scream, but he found that, he was unable too. He was too frantic to realize how hilariously funny a screaming robot sounds like.

"What happened to me?" he thought, unable to stand the sound of his robotic voice. He grabbed his head and ran down the tunnel. What was going on, why had he suddenly lost his human attributes? He slipped and fell in a massive clanging heap on the floor. He sat up and realized that mirrors, which endlessly reflected his image, surrounded him. He tried to gasp but couldn't. Cyborg curled up in a ball on the floor attempting not to see himself. As he tried to do this, the floor and ceiling became mirrors as well and reflected his image. He could not escape it.

TTT

Raven walked down the corridor. She looked around for her comrades but could not locate them. She like the others attempted to locate them with her communicator. No answer. "I sense a demon's spell at work," she thought. She continued to walk down the corridor. Suddenly her hands began to burn. Raven looked down and saw the flaming symbol of her father burning her skin.

"NO!" Raven uttered.

"OH YES!" A voice boomed behind her.

Raven turned around and fell to her knees. The underground sewer system transformed into the Titans city in flames, she collapsed on a jagged rock that jutted up from the riverbank. Raven's father, Trigon, sat on Titan's tower as if it was his throne.

"THANK YOU DAUGHTER FOR FINALLY RELEASING ME." Trigon boomed.

All Raven could do was stare up at her demon father.

TTT

Project Apprentice led a ruthless assault against Robin. Robin could do nothing but block his attacks.

"Die!" Project Apprentice replied as he flipped the switch on his staff. His electrified staff met Robins.

"Why are you doing this?" Robin demanded as he pushed against his foe's staff with his own.

"I think, I have made it clear that I want you dead!" Project Apprentice bellowed as he pushed back against the force Robin was exerting. They broke their struggle and they both jumped back a few feet. Project Apprentices staff emitted a loud humming crackling noise as its shot out electric sparks.

"Why do you want me dead?" Robin asked, even though he knew the answer. Project Apprentice was even stronger than Slade, "And what did you with my friends!"

"You know full well why I want you dead, and as for your friends…" He responded as the surveillance system turned. Robin's eyes grew wide as he saw the state of his friends. All four of them were tightly wrapped in what looked like a spider's web and seemed to be unharmed. However looked to be in writhing mental pain, a few of them were moaning and struggling to break free. The less they resisted, the web wrapped even tighter and tighter around them. Cyborg was almost completely covered in the sticky mass already.

"What did you do to them?" Robin demanded.

"Simply trapped them in their most horrible fears." Project Apprentice replied. "It was a simple process," He went on, "all there was to it, was to lure you into the hall of mirrors, separating you all. Then all the others would become entangled in the Spider of Illusion's web. However, I gave the demon spider specific instructions not the trap you. I want you all for myself."

Robin simply replied with a sneer.

"Well, I grow tired of this pointless banter, they will die soon trapped in their minds anyhow."

"What?" Robin yelled moving into a better fighting stance.

"Don't you know anything of demons? You live with one," Project Apprentice said as he sent a bolt of lightning in Robin's direction.

Robin tumbled out of the way, "What do you mean?"

Project Apprentice rolled his eyes and sent another bolt in Robin's direction.

"You're such a fool Robin. I'll let you figure that one out on your own. As for your friends, the more they succumb to their fears the more the web tightens thus suffocating them…seeing that they haven't had a heart attack by then."

"Now hurry Robin, you don't want your friends to die now do you!" Project Apprentice said as he sent lightening bolts flying in every direction.


Well, there you have it. Dragon is at her grandparents at the moment, so I don't know when the next chapter will be up.
