Chapter 24. Taken down

"We wont choose one, we want both now!" Robin demanded as his eyebrows narrowed. Slade chuckled.

"Very well, since you want no one" Slade began to press the knife harder cutting Beastboy's skin; his blood began to drip onto the blade. The four Titans stood shocked when Raven reacted first.

"No! I'll go leave him please!" She begged him. Slade smirked he knew it would work. He threw Beastboy to the floor and grabbed Raven, his arm wrapped around her neck and collarbone. The Titans helped Beastboy up but he only wanted to get Raven.

"Raven no!" Beastboy shouted as he attempted to get away.

"Don't move" Slade threatened as he pressed the blade to her neck. Raven winced in pain but didn't move. He took out some kind of communicator and called his Slade bots.

"That will keep your attention for now" Slade said with a smirk.

Suddenly the Slade bots appeared.

"Crap" Cyborg muttered as he got his sonic cannon ready. The Slade bots filled the dungeon, the Titans were busy fighting them so Slade took his chance and fled the scene.

Cyborg was shooting them with his sonic cannon as he ran trying to avoid the rays the bots where shooting his way.

"Cyborg aint playing anymore!" He shouted shooting two bots that were close.

"Hyah!" Robin shouted as he kicked the bot right in the center his foot piercing the metal. Turning around to see another bot coming his way he dodged its rays and smacked it with his bo-staff. He did the same to the others when he heard a scream,

"Robin!" A girl scream erupted.

He quickly ran to the direction of the scream he could see green light under all the Slade bots that covered the girl.

"Robin!"

"Starfire!" Robin screamed recognizing the voice he ran to here jumping on the bots he smashed their back as the pieces went flying. Starfire burst through with her powers she was hurt her arms had cuts from the damage of the rays.

"Starfire are you okay?" Robin asked she helped Starfire walk unaware of the bots that were coming.

"Yes Robin, look out!" She pushed Robin out of the way they both fell to the floor, but Starfire had taken the hit.

"STARFIRE!" Robin screamed He got up enraged taking his bo-staff he smashed that. He kept smacking it to bits not satisfied. The bot's wires wire's sticking up as electric surged out crackling. Robin's eyes narrowed, he quickly went to Starfire.

"Star!"

"Robin I am find we must stop the bots!"

Robin nodded and held her hand she flew up and threw him in the hair where he threw his disk they landed next to the bots exploding them.

Beastboy was savagely ripping off the heads of the mechanical men Slade had sent. In his T-rex form he stomped on them and crashed them to bits. He gave a mighty roar as he finished up.

All the Slade bots were destroyed. The Titans got together.

"We are victorious?" Starfire asked.

"Not yet…we need to find Raven and Slade" Beastboy informed them.

"We'll find them don't wo—" A sudden ray of red light blasted all the Titans out of the liar throwing them outside.

"What was that?" Cybrog asked as he rubbed his head from fallen on his face.

"We probably didn't get all of them" Robin explained as he gently picked up Starfire.

"We have to go back!" Starfire shouted.

"No." Beastboy spoke up. The Titans were shocked didn't he want to save Raven?.

"But friend Beastboy you do not wish to save Raven?" Starfire questioned.

"I do. But you all have to stay" Beastboy informed them his face was filled with worry.

"No, we all go!" shouted Robin like it was an order.

"I can't put you all in danger…if I don't return and Raven is safe…set the bombs…"

"But friend if we set off the bombs you will not make it!" Starfire cried out as tears fell down. Beastboy sighed…his face showed worry…but he was going to do it once Raven was safe and if Slade and him were still fighting the Titans were to set off the bombs.

"I know but if Slade gets away again there's no telling what kind of destruction he will bring.."

"But what about Raven she'll be heartbroken…" Cyborg informed him his eyes were filled with concern and fear…his friend was willing to give up is life…and his friend that was like a sister to him, was going to have her heartbroken.

"I know…but its for the best" Beastboy said as he turned his back to him.

"But-"

"But nothing…" Beastboy said as he walked to the away from them. Starfire began to cry as she latched onto Robin who held her tight as his face showed one of fear. Cyborg placed a hand on Robin's shoulder and sent a sympathy look to the Tamaranean Princess that cried her eyes out.

Beastboy remained still his back to them, his head held high in determination.

"I'll bring her back…I promise" With that said he ran out of view.

Lair-

Slade had dragged Raven, and pushed her on the metal bed that was vertical against the wall, her legs were clamped down held with metal bars as her hands were chained at her sides. Raven grunted as she tried to escape the bindings that held her back.

"Stop trying, you won't escape from these…" Slade said as he smirked. Raven shot him a death glare.

"Don't talk to me." She said viciously.

"My, my we seem to be a little feisty tonight." Slade stated as he noted the obvious.

Raven turned her face to avoid looking at him. But he came forth and gripped her chin pulling her face back to stare at him.

"I will finish this, you will not escape and there's nothing your friends can do about it!" He spat out angered by her attitude.

"I don't expect my friends to come…you're a fool to think you could bring me down." Raven said as her eyebrows narrowed. Slade was pissed off he lifted his hand to punch her. Raven closed her eyes waiting for the pain to come…but none came…she opened her eyes.

"I'm not going to waste my energy on trash like you" Slade commented as he retreated back Taking a needle out from his drawers he had on a table next to the metal bed. He filled it up.

"Now, don't move." Slade ordered as he came close. Raven did the opposite and struggled.

"Fine then you'll have it the hard way!" Slade stabbed the needle in her arm causing her to scream out in pain as her head fell limp her breathing began to slow done, her eyes began to flutter to stay awake but her mind was closing wanting sleep…

"Sleep Raven for tonight I will succeed"

Raven was engulfed in darkness…sleep had taken over her.

"Perfect" Slade said with a smile.

Unknown to him a small green spider was hanging on the ceiling watching closely to his every action. He saw Slade pick up a knife sharp at the tip, Slade made his way to Raven and held her wrist the blade was coming close he placed it on her veins that were clearly visible because of her pale skin. Slowly he began to cut. Beastboy immediately jumped off the ceiling turning into a lion he pounced on Slade.

"You again!" Slade shouted in fury. But Beastboy wasn't her to talk he was here to fight.

Suddenly he felt something in him erupt with rage. His form changed to one of a tall and big animal…a beast…his fur long and dark forest green…his claws grew long. His teeth bared out, his expression was full of anger!.

Slade backed away as a look of horror crossed him, the beast in front of him growled in rage as its teeth shown to worn him. Beastboy charged, knocking Slade to the floor.

"Ahh!" Slade screamed. The beast starting to claw him his razor sharp claws piercing the suit going deep inside wounding his body. Beastboy picked him up and threw him hard at the wall, Slade slid down the wall with a groan of pain.

Beastboy returned to his normal form still roaring with anger. He grabbed Slade by the collar.

"Unlock Raven now!" Beastboy ordered. Slade groaned in pain his abdomen was cut pretty bad.

"No." Slade replied with no emotion at all. Beastboy's eyes narrowed, he punched Slade in the masked face.

"Do it or else" Beastboy threatened.

"Fine." Beastboy let go of Slade and watched him walk up to the metal bed holding his abdomen, where Raven lay. He unlocked the metal bars. Raven fell to the floor; quickly Beastboy bent down and picked her up in his arms. Slade grinned as he reached out to the table next to the metal bed and picked up another blade he had, it was rather small but it will do. He lifted his arm.

"Don't even think about!" Cyborg shouted. Slade turned around to see a ray of blue light coming his way. He fell to the floor as he groaned in pain. Cyborg,Robin and Starfire stood at the entrance.

"Its time to use what I brought" Beastboy. He took out the object. And gave Robin a look that said Keep-him-busy. Robin took the hint.

"You think you'll get away with this will you won't!" Robin shouted as his fist clenched tight. Slade laughed.

"You think you'll get away" Slade mimicked Robin, mocking him.

"Well if you notice the situation here! I have the upper hand. You cant do anything or your friend dies" Slade spoke as he grinned. Robin gave the alien Princes a look saying I-got-a-plan-go-with-it!. Starfire's eyes glowed in anger.

"You are nothing but a Clorbag! You only wish to kill to get your way!" Starfire screamed. Taking the hint Robin had given her.

Beastboy had taken out a little tube with read orange liquid. Robin noticed and his eyes widen.

"What the hell is Beastboy doing with that acid it was supposed to be hidden well!" Robin mentally screamed in his mind. While Slade continued his conversation.

"Well most things are obtained with violence" He said with a smile so evil.

Beastboy had managed to take the top off. Giving Robin a look that said it all.

"Your done for now Slade" Robin replied with a smirk. Slade looked confused.

"What?---Ahh!"

"My back!" Slade screamed. The part of the suit that covered his back had melted off. Exposing his flesh that had been burned, it was a disturbing sight. It looked like a third degree burn, his skin was shriveled and red there were open wounds all over his back were he bleed. Now Slade was in immense pain he should of given up when he had the chance.

Beastboy then suddenly pulled Slade's mask off. He's right eye was blind while his left showed fear. He looked like a regular man…until now…

"Now you'll have a reason to cover your face" Beastboy said in an icy tone. He poured the rest of the acid on his face burning his flesh making him hideous.

"Ahh!" Slade screamed in pain

"What have you done!" Slade shouted as he covered his face. The Titans stared at Beastboy with shocked expressions.

Beastboy didn't look satisfied he launched a punch in his stomach.

"BB I think that's enough!" Cyborg commented, he ran to his side. But Beastboy kept punching.

"Friend Beastboy you are going "overboard" you must stop!" Starfire shouted. Beastboy was about to punch again when someone caught his arm.

"Beastboy that's enough, even though I would really like you to continue, we have to leave it to the police" Robin stated. Beastboy let out a breath.

"Alright…" He stepped away from Slade and picked up Raven, she was still under the affects of the drug.

"Don't move" Robin ordered as he took out handcuffs and tied Slade's hands behind him.

"Looks like he cant do anymore damage…we'll take him to the Hospital then prison" Cyborg explained.

"We should leave him here to die…" Beastboy spoke with Raven still in his arms.

"We cant do that although Slade is a villain we cant let him die here…" Robin explained. Slade smirked seeing Beastboy's reaction.

"We'll let him die in prison" Robin added with a smirk. Slade's face turned to one of horror.

"Noooooooooooooooo!" He yelled.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Titans made their way out of the underground lair, they set off the bombs exploding any equipment Slade was planning to use. His lair was no more so was the building top of it. The authorities had been notified and were taking Slade to the hospital then straight to prison. Slade was taken cared of, the Titans would finally be at peace.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Titans Tower-

The Titans returned to the Tower Raven was still asleep but Beastboy was waiting by her side. She was placed in her room, the rest of the Titans thought it was a good idea to leave them alone.

"When will you wake up?" Beastboy asked softly as he held her hand. Raven's chest lightly went up and down as she breathed her face was one of calm, she looked peaceful. Beastboy smiled at the dark beauty that he loved and loved him back.
