Chapter 10

Finale Part 2

"What's that," Beast Boy thought when he heard distant footsteps coming in his direction, "is someone there? Help me!"

Raven gasped when she saw the predicament her teammate was in.

"Beast Boy, It's Raven, I'm here to help," She said as she knelt down next to him.

"I'm so alone," Beast Boy thought, as if not hearing what Raven had said.

Hearing his thoughts she said, "Your not alone, Beast Boy, let me help you."

"No one can help me…" He thought as more tears rolled down his furry cheeks.

"I can help you," Raven replied growing more and more frustrated at his refusal of help.

"I don't want to be alone…" Beast Boy thought feebly still not truly acknowledging Raven's presence.

"You're never alone, I'm here."

"Raven?" He thought just realizing that Raven was kneeling beside him wiping away his tears.

"Yes! It's me; as long as I'm here you're never alone," Raven replied.

"You're right, I'm never alone," Beast Boy said aloud, transforming into his human form. "And I'm not helpless!"

Raven smiled.

"Whoa, hey your freakin' me out with this smiling, where's the Raven I know," Beast Boy said smiling back.

TTT

Raven broke from her trance as Beast Boy fell out of the cocoon that was trapping him. He fell with a loud thud on the floor.

"Ow! You guys couldn't break my fall?" Beast Boy snapped rubbing his rear end.

"I thought you said you weren't helpless," Raven retorted and floated over to where Starfire still remained trapped.

"Ew! What is this stuff," Beast Boy asked in disgust as he pulled the last of the webbing from his head.

"It's that spider's web," Cyborg stated pointing toward the deceased spider in the corner of the cavern.

Beast Boy just made a disgusted face in response.

"Quiet! I'm trying to concentrate! In case you haven't noticed Starfire is still trapped," Raven snapped and started up another chant in order to enter Starfire's mind.

TTT

Project Apprentice lunged at his foe, arms flailing, he had lost all sense of logic and perception. All he knew now was to kill.

Robin tried to get out of his way, but with his broken ribs, he was far too slow to dodge his attacks. Robin took punch after punch, before he lay as a huddled mass on the floor, his face to the ceiling.

Project Apprentice laughed with demented glee at the sight before him.

"Your dead now you son of a bitch!" he screamed as he raised his cupped hands above his head, ready to land a fatal blow.

TTT

Starfire knelt next to Robin's cold body for what seemed like an eternity weeping.

Her head bolted up when she heard footsteps coming down the long corridor from which she came. She flew up high, concealing herself in the shadows and waited ready to attack whatever was making it's way to her.

A figure shrouded in shadow walked slowly into the room and looked around. It slowly made it's way over to where Robin's body lay. Starfire didn't wait to see who or what it was. She swooped down and threw starbolt after starbolt at the unknown figure below her. Hell if she was going to let this thing do anything to Robin's body!

The figure dodged a few of the starbolts before it said, "Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos!"

A barrier was instantly produced between Starfire and her foe.

"Raven!" Starfire exclaimed stopping her attack and flying down to meet Raven, who let down her barrier.

Starfire burst into tears and collapsed in Raven's arms, "Robin's dead! Something or someone killed him!"

Raven let her sob in her arms for a moment before stating, "Robin is not dead."

"What," Starfire exclaimed raising her head, "how can you say that?"

Raven stood up and walked over to "Robin's" body, "This isn't Robin."

"How can that be? It resembles Robin! It talked like Robin! It acted like Robin," Starfire responded in confusion at what her teammate had said.

"She had to realize that this is all an illusion on her own," Raven thought perplexed at that task that lay before her, "but that doesn't mean I can't steer her in the right direction."

"It must be Robin!" Starfire yelled trying to justify what her eyes where seeing.

"Do you remember what happened just before you found him," Raven asked hoping that she would realize what was going on.

"Yes, we were all walking, in the hall full of mirrors, and then I got lost…" Starfire responded trying to fight off the hysteria that was slowly creeping into her mind.

Raven sighed and saw that she would have to approach this at a different angle. She bent over Robin's body and pointed out that fact that he hadn't used any of his weapons.

"It doesn't even look like he put up a fight…" Starfire realized as she forced herself to examine his body closer.

"There aren't any signs of a struggle either," Raven added seeing that Starfire was realizing that something was amiss.

"There aren't any marks on the floor or the walls…" Starfire added, obviously working something out in her mind.

"The hall of mirrors was meant to confuse us," Raven stated hoping to give Starfire that extra shove in the right direction.

"It made us see what was not true, not real…."

"Yes…" Raven said. "Come on Starfire you almost there," she thought.

"Then this isn't real!" Starfire exclaimed when she realized what was going on, "AN ILLUSION!"

TTT

"GAAAAAAAAAH!" Project Apprentice screamed in agony as he felt a white-hot burning pain go straight through his heart.

He looked down and saw a chain saw like blade piercing straight through his chest severing his heart in half. He coughed up scarlet blood and fell to his knees as Robin's side. His eye grew wide when he turned around and saw none other than his own creation, 2-NY-1489, pulling out it's chainsaw from his back and placing it back inside his metal body. Before he could say anything, his eye glazed over and he fell over dead with a great thud on top of Robin's body.

"GAH!" Robin yelled in pain as Project Apprentice's dead weight fell on top of his battered and bruised body.

"Do not worry, I will help," 2-NY-1489 offered a bit too excitedly as he rushed over to Robin and pulled him out from under his former master's corpse.

"What are you," Robin said as he stood himself up quicker than he thought he could and slowly started backing away from the deadly little robot.

"I am 2-NY-1489 at your service, and your welcome," it stated in almost military fashion.

"Um, thank you…did Slade create you," Robin asked still not feeling at ease in the company of this seemingly harmless robot.

"Oh no, he did," it said pointing towards where his former master's body laid oozing blood.

"Then why did you kill him," Robin asked shocked that it would kill its own creator. Though he didn't know why he was so shocked. Project Apprentice had just said that he intended on killing Slade himself…

"Well…" 2-NY-1489 started and seemed to be pondering why he did kill his creator after all.

"You don't know why you killed him," Robin asked now deeply confused.

"He wasn't a very nice person and he did go insane at the end…well he always was a tad bit insane but he had lost all reason and when I saw that he actually could kill you I thought it would be best if I stepped in," it explained, pleased with its reasons.

Robin began walking out of the room but still held a conversation with the little robot, he no longer felt as threatened as before when it had a chainsaw coming out of its chest…go figure.

"You thought he couldn't kill me?"

"I thought he was just blowing hot air," 2-NY-1489 responded happy that he was having a normal conversation for once in his life…well almost normal anyway.

Robin laughed but was met with an intense jab of pain in his side.

"We must find your friends, you're hurt! That demon girl will be able to help," 2-NY-1489 stated when he saw Robin wince with each step.

"What," Robin said in confusion, "what was that last part?"

"Oh, nothing," it responded and helped Robin find his teammates.

TTT

Starfire began to fall out of her cocoon but Cyborg caught her before she hit the floor.

"Oh, sure you catch her," Beast Boy said bitterly.

"Are you okay," Cyborg asked, ignoring Beast Boy's comment.

She opened her eyes and saw Robin limping into the cavern being helped by a little floating robot, however she ignored that detail.

"ROBIN!" she exclaimed jumping up out of Cyborg's arms and met Robin with one of her many bone crushing hugs, "you are unharmed…mostly."

Robin let out a cry of pain as he was being further crushed by Starfire's sign of affection, "I'm glad to see you too, please don't break me anymore than I already am!"

"So, I see that you won," Cyborg stated, "knew you could do it."

"Yea, all thanks to this little guy," Robin responded nodding his head in the robot's direction.

"What is it," Beast Boy asked, poking the little robot in various places.

"I am 2-NY-1489 and please stop poking me. Don't press that," it exclaimed as the button Beast Boy pressed exposed the same buzzing chainsaw, still covered in blood, that kill Project Apprentice.

"So, I guess that's how it killed him…" Cyborg said in awe that such a big chainsaw could fit in such a small robot body.

"Excuse me," 2-NY-1489 said as it put the chainsaw away.

"Let's just get out of here…" Raven said.

They all agreed and made their way out of the dark cavern, 2-NY-1489 tagging behind.
