DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own the Teen Titans, Cartoon Network and DC Comics do. Tech, Ember and Matthias are my original characters and will probably be the closest I'll have at owning anything Titan-related. Also, I do NOT own ANY of the brand names mentioned in the fic. They belong to their respective companies.
A/N: I'm going to be away from Aug. 14 - Aug. 22 so there's going to be a distinct lack of updates by me. Sorry very much! I promise to update as soon as I can once I get back. Now that I took care of that, I just wanna say thanks to Chromedragozoid who reviewed my fic. YOU ROCK! Now, onto the fic. BTW, Chromedragozoid, my favorite Zodiac Knight is Draco (dragons rock!).
Chapter 2
"Hello everyone. So nice to see you all again.." she turned to face Starfire, "...especially you, dear sister."
Starfire looked on, tears forming in her eyes, "Blackfire..."
Terra stood with a confused look in her eyes. "Wait. Star, she's your...sister?"
"Yes." said Starfire, tears beginning to flow quickly down her face. "Blackfire...sister, why? Why have you done this? Why have you joined our sworn enemy? Why..."
"SHUT UP! I'M EVIL! DON'T YOU GET IT? I HATE YOU! THAT'S THE ONLY REASON I JOINED SLADE SO I COULD BE RID OF YOU FOR GOOD! I'M NOT A GOODIE-GOODIE LIKE YOU AND I NEVER WAS! SO DEAL WITH IT!" Blackfire was yelling at the top of her lungs.
Starfire, visibly crushed by her sister's comments, began to sob uncontrollably. "Th-that i-is not t-t-true. You w-were once a good person."
"Yeah, well" Blackfire charged a purple Starbolt in her right hand "I changed my mind." she sent the Starbolt at her sister, knocking back to the ground. Robin, clearly enraged, charged Blackfire, yelling "TITANS GO!"
Slade
Cyborg fired a blast from his Sonic Cannon at Slade, who easily dodged it. Terra and Raven both threw pieces of rubble at the masked villain. Slade dodged them with ease. "Titans, I am very disappointed." Slade taunted as he dodged gorilla-Beast Boy's punches. "If that is the best you have, then this fight will be over in a matter of seconds."
Slade leapt off the ground and nailed a flying kick to the green gorilla's face, knocking him down and causing him to revert back to Beast Boy. He was out cold. Blood began to trickle from his nose.
"Beast Boy! No!" Terra ran over to him.
Slade noticed this little display of love and commented. "Ah hah. I see that you finally found someone who will love a traitor."
That pushed Terra over the edge. Her eyes glowed with a golden hue, blocking out her pupils. A golden aura surrounded her. The earth beneath and around her began to rumble and crack. Buildings surrounding the area began to sway and shake.
"Terra! Stop! If this keeps up, you'll end up killing more than Slade!" Raven's voice had a twinge of worry.
"Yeah. Us!" Cyborg desperately tried to remain standing.
Terra wouldn't listen. Her voice was racked with anger and sorrow. "I don't care! Slade. Will. DIE!"
Blackfire
Robin was having trouble fighting Blackfire and trying to get Starfire to stop crying.
"Star!" he said in between dodging a hail of purple Starbolts. "You gotta help me! Stop crying!"
Starfire remained kneeling and muttered "Why?" over and over again. She was clearly in shock of her sister's decision to eliminate the Titans and her.
"Looks like my poor excuse of a sister won't help you, Robbie." Blackfire taunted, as she aimed a roundhouse right at Robin's head.
Robin ducked. "Take. That. Back!" He threw a kick of his own, only to have his leg caught by Blackfire.
"Aww! Does wittle Wobin have a cwush on my baby sister? That's so cute it's disgusting." Blackfire spun on her heel and threw Robin into and through a crumbling brick wall.
"ARGH!"
That snapped Starfire out of her trance. "Robin!"
"You're too late, sis. He'll be lucky to stand after that. Heh heh...URK!" Blackfire was cut off be Starfire rushing over and grabbing her by her throat. Green energy shone angrily in her eyes.
"Blackfire." Star fire began, tears still flowing. "Due to your heinous actions, I no longer see you as my sister. As much as I regret that decision, it must be done." Starfire then mustered up all the strength she could and choke-slammed into the ground, adding a flurry of Starbolts to drive her deeper into the earth. The dust cleared and Blackfire was nowhere to be seen. Starfire looked up to there Robin had hit the wall and rushed over th help. She did not notice a orange-gloved hand reach up and grab the edge of the small impact crater.
Slade
Terra's rapid surge of power was making an already bad situation worse. Beast Boy was unconscious and probably had a broken nose. Now the crash of a nearby building told Raven do whatever it took to stop Terra.
"Azarath. Metrion. Zinthos!" A black aura surrounded Terra putting a stop to her power surge. The earthquake also stopped. "Terra. You're putting everyone in danger. Calm. Down."
Terra took a couple of controlling breaths before responding. "Thanks Raven. Sorry."
Raven was about to respond when Slade knocked them both apart with a pair of devastating kicks, bloodying both girl's mouths.
"Touching. But all too time consuming. You should've paid more attention to me."
"Take your own advice for once!" Cyborg yelled as he let loose a fully charged Sonic Cannon shot. It Slade square in the chest, knocking ten feet away. "BOOYAH!"
Blackfire
Starfire dug through the rubble of the wall Robin had just been sent through. "Robin? Robin! Can you hear me? Are you injured?" She lifted a large section of the wall up and gasped at what she found.
Robin was not moving. He was on his back and clearly in pain. His uniform was torn and through the tears, you could see various cuts, all of them flowing with blood. His left arm was clearly broken and his right leg didn't look any better. A slight moan escaped his mouth as he struggled to look up. "St-St-Starfire?"
"Oh, Robin...AHHHHH!" Two purple beams struck Starfire in the back before she could say anymore. Blackfire stood a few feet behind her sister, her uniform scuffed and torn in some places but with no physical damage.
"Looks like I underestimated you, sis. That's a mistake I won't make again." Blackfire flew towards her sister, grabbed her off the ground and slammed her into the ground. "Just returning the favor, sis!" Blackfire pelted the area where Starfire landed with Starbolts and eye-beams. When the dust settled, Starfire wasn't moving.
"Checkmate, sis. I win." Blackfire said as she was about to deliver the final shot.
Slade
Cyborg checked on his fallen friends, relieved to find out that Terra and Raven were still breathing. He was about to check on Beast Boy when he was hit by a strange looking dart.
"A dart? Slade, you really are running out of ideas." Cyborg quipped as he readied a Sonic Cannon shot.
"On the contrary, my dear Cyborg," Slade replied, holding what looked to be a detonator switch, "I am always looking into new devices, such as the electro-dart now stuck to your chest." Slade hit the button.
"AAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!" Cyborg was shocked by a wave of electricity emanating from the dart. A few excruciating moments later, he fell to the ground, barely able to move.
"Looks like it worked." Slade let the now-useless switch fall to the ground and turned to face Blackfire, about to end her sister's life.
"That's enough, Apprentice. I think they got the message."
Blackfire turned her head to face Slade and spoke. "You have got to be kidding me. I can end at least my sister's life right friggin now!"
"Patience, my young ward, patience. We will end the Titan's misery another day, but for now," Slade placed a data disk with the heading "TO: Teen Titans" on the ground, "Let us savor our victory today." He turned and walked off into an alley and disappeared.
Blackfire huffed and turned toward her barely-conscious sister. "You're lucky I gotta go. Just be warned. The next time we meet, I will end you, sister dear!" she let Starfire drop to the ground and flew after Slade into the alley, disappearing as he did.
Starfire, Terra and Raven picked themselves up slowly, Terra and Raven holding their bloody mouths. Raven healed herself, then Terra. They both walked over to Starfire, Terra commenting, "Damn, Star. You're sister's a real bitch!"
"Star, hold still." Raven's hands glowed blue with her healing power. A blue aura encased Starfire and most of her minor wounds were healed.
"Thank you, Raven." Starfire looked around at her fallen friends. "We must hurry. We must get the others back to Titan Tower quickly!" Raven and Terra nodded, gingerly picked up the boys and flew back to Titan Tower as fast as they could: Raven carrying Cyborg, Terra had Beast Boy and both were on a floating piece of earth, and Starfire gently held Robin. In her pocket was the data disk Slade had left. Though she wondered what was inside it, she knew that Robin's life was more important as she and the others rushed back home.
