Chapter 2
Later, at titans Tower. the titans have placed to bodies of Starfire and Robin on a Metal table. Cyborg repairs his eye, and the group begin to question what to do next.
"okay, what are we going to do now?" Cyborg says. "two of our Teammates... our Friends have been killed by mechanical copies of themselves, and we're outnumbered 5 to 3." "we're not outnumbered. we just have to find a way to revive them." Beast boy says. "raven, there's got to be something in one of your books that can revive them." beast boy continues. "i've looked through almost all of them and i've found nothing." Raven says. "they may be doomed." Beast boy begins to get angry. "What kind of answer is that? our friends are dead and we can't do anything to help them?" Tears begin to form in his eyes. "Raven, there's got to be something. Anything.". "BB, calm down." Cyborg says. "we'll find a way." "i'll keep looking for some kind of information." Raven says. "you two just try to find out where the robots are headed. if we can't get Robin and starfire revived in time, we may need reinforcements." "I know who to call just in case" Cyborg says.
Meanwhile, Robin and starfire awaken. they look around and notice that they're in total Darkness. "where are we?" Starfire says. "Maybe we got blasted into the sewers or something" Robin says. "it does not smell like the sewers." Star says. She illuminates the area with her starbolt. the two look in awe as they see that hey're in a Dark cave of some sort. They keep moving along, when suddenly, they spot a Mysterious person in a cloak. "is that Raven?" Starfire asks. "it doesen't look like it. but lets ask whoever it is anyway." the two run up to the Cloaked person. he turns around, his face is a Skull. "Eeek" Starfire screams. "Who are you?" Robin asks. "I am the one who takes souls to their final destination. i am the one who puts the souls of the lost to their rest. i am Death. i am the Grim Reaper." the reaper says in a Deep voice. He than grabs his Sickle, a sharp, somewhat blood-soaked blade. "Death? Did you say death?" Robin asks. "but why would... oh no." he continues. "the explosion must have killed us." Starfire begins to have tears in her eyes. "Oh, i do not wish to be dead. i have much i wanted to do in life." She says. "You and about everyone else i've handled" death says. "but unfortunately for them, and you, it's just their time.". "there has to be a way to change this. give us one more chance to live." Robin says. "please? i will praise your name for Centuries to come" Starfire says. "there is no way back. Unless..." Death says. "Unless what?" Robin asks. "you must challenge me to a contest. if you win, you can go back to earth. if not, you will be banished here forever." Death adds. "so, all we have to do is win a contest against you? What game?" Robin asks. "a game of great skill and courage. one of which i have never been beaten in... A Game of Checkers." Death says. Robin looks on with somewhat of a Confused look. "Checkers? that's it?" Robin says. "well if that's what we have to..." Robin continues, when starfire interrupts. "Robin, what is the Checkers?" Star asks. "Hmm," Death says with a Cocky smile. "she'll play against me. and you can't help her." He adds.
The three are placed in a weird black room with a sole checker board and 3 chairs. Starfire and Death play. "i'll be the black pieces. I'm always te black pieces." he says. "please, i do not know how to play, yet these shiny disks remind me of a game i used to play when i was young." Starfire says. "this looks similar to Gerorfrian loknar." she says. "what's a Gerorf..." Death begins to say, but star has already made her first move. Several moves later, death is far behind in the game, and Star has almost all of her checker pieces kinged. she then takes out death's last piece. "i was right. this game is like Loknar. i am victorious Robin" star says. "way to go Star. now we can go home." Robin says. "not neccisarily" Death says. "Why not?" Robin asks "we beat you already." "that was merely a warm up game. besides, checkers is far to easy for you. so, best two out of 3 with a little game of Battleship" Death says. "you're turn to play" He points at Robin. the checker board is replaced by battleship boards. Minutes later...
"B4" Robin asks. Death has a grim look on his face. "Hit. you Sunk my Battleship". "glorious, now we can..." Star begins. "Best of Five!" Death says. "No, you said..." Robin begins. "I Said best of five. you, orange girl, you're turn. you haven't perhaps played Uno on your planet?" death says.
End Chapter 2.
