" Titans go!" Robin shouted.

Not needing more than that the titans set off after their culprit. They chased the culprit into a factory, which did not look abandoned. In fact it looked like they were intended the end up there. Like it was a trap. And that's when they realized… it was a trap.

All six of them suddenly stopped not to far into the factory. They could see nothing because it was pitch black. Slowly they started forward once again, not wanting to make a sound. Looking back behind them every once in awhile has if the person they were pursuing was right behind them.

" Watch yourselves." Robin said barely above a whisper, not wanting to give away their location to their bad guy.

" This can't be a coincidence we ended up here, it was planned like this," Raven whispered. Not looking behind him Robin replied back.

" We don't have a choice, we have to stop whoever is behind this," After a few more steps they heard what sounded like a whistle.

" What was that?" Starfire whispered, turning her head in all directions like the rest of them.

" I don't see anything on my scanner," Cyborg said. " Maybe it's aliens from another dimension planning on sucking our brains out," Beast Boy said. They all turned and gave him a your crazy look.

" It could happen, you believe me right Terra?" He asked.

" Yeah, absolutely," all the while forcing a smile. She knew they weren't dealing with aliens, 'but he is cute when he's acting stupid' she thought. Beast Boy knew not to doubt this sort of thing manly because there was aliens out there, evil aliens set on sucking out brains. Like when Starfire went through her transformation, she met an alien that only wanted to eat her.

He knew they thought he was crazy, but almost anything is possible, at least that's what he thought.

" I think you've been watching way to much TV," Raven said in her usual monotone. Beast Boy opened his mouth to reply when Cyborg spoke first.

" I'm picking up something," he said while looking at his robotic arm " My scanner says he right behind us, wait," He never got to finish because he was suddenly knocked down. The rest of the titans quickly turned around to get a look at who they were after, but they got shock at whom it was.

" Slade," Robin said venomously. Cyborg arose to prepare for battle, he quickly got his sonic cannon ready while Starfire prepared her Starbolts and Raven got her dark magic ready to throw anything. Beast Boy turned into a tiger while Terra got ready to do anything. Robin quickly prepared his Bo staff.

" Nice to see you all again, I hope you all have been well,"

" I don't know why your even trying this again Slade, but we will stop you," Robin replied back immediately.

" Why do you even think I am trying Robin? Maybe I simply did what I did to get your attention to talk," Slade replied almost mysteriously. Robin glared his eyes narrowing under his mask.

" I doubt that, your nothing but trouble,"

" I can't fool you now can I?" If Slade wouldn't of had his mask on they would have seen he was smirking.

" But I can fool you," he continued. The titans looked at him with curiosity. What did me mean by that?

" Now I'll get what I came for," he finished.

" I doubt that, titans go!" Robin shouted. They all ran towards Slade who was not too far in front of them. He just stood there, but why? Then they knew why, out of thin air it seemed thousands of Slade's robots appeared. He had more than usual.

They were definitely outnumbered. But it was nothing they couldn't handle, or so they thought. Starfire, Raven, Cyborg, Raven, Beast Boy and Terra turned their attention to the robots while Robin focused on Slade. Has soon has the five titans fired at the robots their attacks bounced right off of them. They all gasped at this.

" Looks like Slade's robots got a upgrade, guess we'll have to play even harder," Cyborg said. No matter how hard they attacked it didn't leave a dent.

They couldn't even knock off their heads. After a few more minutes of punches and attacks they still hadn't got no were. " Our attacks no longer effect them, perhaps we need to try something else,

" Starfire said has the five titans stood in a circle back to back while the robots surrounded them.

" Maybe we should attack at once," Raven suggested.

" There's too many to do that," Terra said, looking at all the robots.

" But there might be less if we try this,"

" It might work, we can move if we have to," Cyborg said.

They all nodded and faced on specific spot of robots. They all readied their attacks and shot at one area. All the attacks combined in one rainbow of colors. Then the moment of truth came has they all made a direct hit. They looked hopefully hoping their plan had worked. When the smoke had cleared away they saw they didn't have one scratch. Again they gasped.

" This is impossible," Beast Boy said. Then before any of them realized what was happening the robots made their move. They jumped at this zapping them with their new weapon.

They all screamed at the pain running through their bodies. Knowing they were weak three of the robots tied them up and dragged them across the floor. Robin lunged at Slade with his Bo staff. He aimed it for his chest, right before it had hit him Slade moved while grabbing the Bo staff and tossed it aside making Robin lose his balance.

He stumbled trying the regain his balance, having no success at his he fell forward falling face first on the hard cold floor. He growled and quickly got up and turned to face Slade. When he saw his friends tied up and knocked out he growled again.

" Let them go," he demanded. " Oh my boy, I have no intention of doing that. In fact I only captured them for a reason,"

" And what would that reason be?" Robin asked back.

" Simple, I am using them to get you to stay with me, has my apprentice. Robin's eyes and mask widened at this.

" I'll never be your apprentice again," he almost whispered. Slade smirked at this. He knew this was coming, but he had his ways of getting what he wanted.

" Then I guess you can tell your friends good-bye," Has if on cue a huge tank full of acid slowly appeared through the floor. " Has you can see your friends will be dumped in there, is that what you want?" Robin looked down at his friends, then at the giant tank full of acid.

"No," Robin barely whispered. He didn't want to become his apprentice, but what choice did he have? It was either his friends…Starfire or him.

" What did you say, I can't hear you," Slade teased. He knew fully well what he said, he just wanted to torture Robin even further.

" I said no," Robin said more clearly this time.

" That's what I thought, a wise choice. Now, come with me," Slade turned around and started walking towards the door. Robin just stood in his place, what about his friends? He couldn't leave not knowing what would happen to them. Slade turned around when he noticed Robin wasn't following him.

" Coming Robin?"

" What about my friends?" Slade sighed.

" They will be fine, I promise you," Robin glared at this. How would he know Slade would keep his word? Has if he was reading his mind he spoke.

" I know what your thinking, but I am not a person on going back on my word," Not having any other choice he started walking toward Slade, his nightmare. He took one last glance back at his friends, and at Starfire before losing them from view has he rounded the corner of the factory.

TEENTITANSTEENTITANS

The five titans groaned has they finally woke up from their sleep and they woke up with a splitting headache.

" Ow, what happened?" Beast Boy asked putting a hand up to this aching head. The other titans following suite.

" I think he was taken by Slade," Raven said. Starfire gasped and shot up.

" We must find him," Cyborg sighed.

" There's not much we can do at the moment Star," Starfire did not reply she knew it was true. Slade and his robots did not leave one trace of where disappeared. All they really could do was wait for something to happen and start from there. With an aching head and heart Starfire followed the rest back to the titans tower.

TEENTITANSTEENTITANS

Robin growled has he looked down at the suite he had just changed into. It was the exact same one he had worn before. He never thought he would ever wear this again. He sighed has be thought about Starfire. He hoped she was ok. He suddenly interrupted of thinking about his angel when Slade spoke to him.

" I see you've changed once again. In my opinion this outfit looks better on you. It makes you look so much better, much more mysterious," Robin turned to face his greatest enemy. Just talking to him made him sick. He didn't know if he could keep this up.

" You won't get away with this," Slade just stood there has if he hadn't said anything.
