Good-Bye to the World
By CrazyDeafGirl
Summary: Nobody dared to go near It, and nobody wants to. Something lurks within It, and the giant tower that formerly was the Titans' Tower will not tell…
Disclaimer: I do not own the Teen Titans, but I do own Tom, Ned, Davy, Sam, Jessi, and Raley.

Dropping Tom to the floor, Sam and Jessi, along with the boys, stared awe-stuck at the room. "There's so many plants here." Ned choked out, "An' they're all dead." They nodded as they walked on, trying to ignore the rotting smell. Sam paused by a giant mutant flycatcher, and seeing the huge teeth, gulped before hurriedly catching up to Jessi. Ned shook his head.
"Those plants, they don't belong here. They're not normal. They can't be from Earth." He said, and the twins looked questioningly at him. Davy explained,
"His parents own a nursery so he knows a lot about plants." The twins nodded, Sam's mouth forming a small o, as Ned continued.
"Braches don't grow out of leaves, an' that's impossible, a plant can't live without roots, yet many of those here barely had any!" Ned ranted on and on as the others glanced at the plants, marveling at their beauty.
Lights blazed on, causing Sam to shriek and jump into Jessi's arms. Davy started to laugh, but froze when he saw the moon becoming hidden. Darkness crept into the room, covering the floor and up the walls a little, but it was almost if it was held back by the light, yet the light was being beaten by the darkness.
Tom quickly withdrew his breath, watching the battle between the elements. Deciding to agree with his guts, he looked back. Letting out a terrible scream, Tom bolted. Davy swirled around, but saw nothing. Feeling frightened, he took off, chasing Tom and Ned. Jessi dropped Sam before sprinting after the boys, ignoring Sam's cries. "Hey, wait for me!"
Nearing Tom, Davy leapt and managed to tackle him. Rolling to a stop mere inches from the stairs, Davy hopped to his feet and said, "They're gone, aren't they?" Tom lifted his head and after scanning the room, nodded. "Good. Now, who are they?" At his older brother's words, Tom sighed.
"Y'all remember the girl? The one with skin hangin' off her arm an' with ribs stickin' out? She's here, along with… that other girl… w-who…" Tom stopped, trembling. Sam and Jessi glanced at each other as Davy sighed before stepping over Tom and up the stairs. Ned nervously followed. Jessi groaned before pulling up the small boy.
"How come ya and I have to do all the work?" Jessi complained, looking at Sam who just shrugged. When the twins and Tom climbed up the steps, the darkness faded back and lights dimmed, both dying. She limped forward, holding her arm in front of her, her skin dangling. She turned her head as she watched her crept out of the darkness and they looked at the stairs, whispering,
Friends… wait for us.

Here's the ninth chappie! Hope you like it! Please review! Or flame! When I said that the light and dark are battling, I mean they can't beat each other because they balances each other too good for one to be better than the other.
