-This is Silent Titan chapter 8! And for the first time, writing it at about the same time as my other stories. So, three updates in one! Well, okay, more like three updates in a few days time, but still, that is a lot of stories in one week (I'm also writing a fourth story. But this is a collaboration story and in turn, you won't see it for a while. More on this later). Why am I doing this? School. With studying it, midterms, labs, quizzes, and essays all coming up, what little time I do have to write, I am taking full advantage of it.
-I'm also writing this update in the past tense. I had complaints (ones actually more of a suggestion, But still, this issue was brought up) with two other stories that I am writing about my tenses. Seems most stories are written in the past tense. Well, fine, I'll join the rest of the world, and write this story in the past tense.
-Without further ado, on with the story…
NowhereRaven was lying on the ground. The area around her was completely darkened. The only thing that can be seen was Raven herself. Her eyes began to flutter open. As Raven's mind started to return to the waking world, Raven's eyes shot open. "Beast Boy! Terra!" She instantly got up. She looked around her area. The room started to form. However, the only thing she was concerned about in that very instance was Beast Boy and Terra. "I have to know that they are okay!" She brought her hands in front of her. "Ashedoramon Anu Dora!" An image started to form in front of her. She could see Beast Boy and Terra fighting the massive worm. "Good. They're still alive."
"That shouldn't matter in the long run." A man in the shadows took a step forward.
"Damien! Damien Colt!" Raven narrowed her eyes. They started to glow as her anger risen ten folds. "You brought me here didn't you?!"
Damien was wearing a dark robe. His head is covered in a triangular shaped hood. His hands are together, covered by his long sleeves. "I was simply following order from a higher authority. In the end, darkness will consume this world."
"Not if I can do anything about it." She brought boards of wood, and sent them zooming towards Damien. "If you want be, then let my friends go! They have no part in this!"
Damien brought his arms up. A shield blocks the attack. "Only god will determine the fate of your friends. Besides, you don't need them. And whether they like it or not, they will all be closer to god one-way or the other anyways. As for you, Raven, you cannot go against the will of god for much longer!"
"God? God?" Raven's anger started to grow dangerously out of control. "SAMAEL IS NO GOD!" Wood panels started splintering all around her. Darkness started to consume the room again. Raven's power shot out at Damien.
Damien again brought his arms up. A similar move blocked Raven's power from even touching Damien. "Tsk tsk tsk. Why do you insist on fighting who you really are? You are, after all, a holy being much like our lord Samael."
"I told you, Samael is no god!" Raven's power started to chaotically tear apart to the room. "And I will have nothing to do with him! Especially when he is trying to destroy my FRIENDS!" She again shot out her power towards Damien. This time, her power seemed to head straight towards him.
Except Damien jumped back, out of harms way. "Your friends again? You don't need friends. All you need is family." Damien smirked inside his hood. "You'll come to our side eventually. There is just so much that you can do. It's in your blood." Damien disappeared into the darkness.
Raven struggled to regain control of her powers. "Must, control…" A massive power surge coursed through her body. "Ahhhhhhhhhh." Raven dropped to the floor in agony. Despite her pain, she is able to regain control of her powers. Once her powers were firmly in her control, the room around her started to repair itself. Apparently due to a great force that is controlling Silent Hill. "I must, remain in control. I can't let them win. I can't let them destroy the world, I can't let them destroy my friends…" Raven's head shot up. "Beast Boy, Terra!" She made a new orb showing where they were.
Alternate Brookhaven HospitalTerra stood in one place, waiting for the next showing of the worm.
Beast Boy was crying. "Raven!" 'Maybe she is alive. She…sniff…she disappeared right? She wasn't eaten! She…sniff…she could be in another place here. She'll be back…sniff…just…just like last time.'The huge worm screamed as it makes his appearance in front of him. His tears become pure rage. "Either way, it is YOU that made her disappear!" Beast Boy changed into a huge sloth with huge claws and jumped on the worm, screaming some sort of battle cry.
"Beast Boy!" Terra ran to grab Beast Boy. But instead, she rolled to the side as the worm came down on where he was.
Beast Boy clawed the back of the worm as much as he can. It makes tons of scratches, but not much else. The worm shook from side to side, forcing Beast Boy off of it. Beast Boy rolled on the ground. He turned into a panther, ready to pounce. "Raooowww!" He jumped at the disappearing worm. When the worm tunneled into the ground, he started digging. "Get back here you coward!"
Terra knew the worm's next move. "Beast Boy!" She ran knocking Beast Boy out of the way the worm shot out from the ground. Terra tumbled to the side as the worm moved back towards them, ready to close on them again.
Terra ran to the side. She double tracked and jumped onto the worm. She grabbed a hold of the worm and started to bash the worm. "DIE!" The worm stopped its advancement towards Beast Boy. The worm started to shake from side to side. Terra tried to hold on with all her might.
"Terra!" Beast Boy looked at Terra as the worm is shaking her. His mouth is completely open with fear. "There has to be a way to kill this thing!" Beast Boy turned into a rhinoceros and slammed his head into the worm. A little blood gushed from the wound, but not much else.
Terra couldn't hold on any longer. She was thrown off the sandworm. She crashed into the sandy floor. If there was only a way to…wait, is that…sand? Terra looked at what was in her hand. Sand. Sand! "This better work!" Terra brought her hands forward. Her eyes glowed yellow.
Beast Boy looked up at the looming sandworm. "It's no use. He's too strong!" The sandworm started to turn and was ready to consume Beast Boy. Beast Boy readied himself to move out of the way.
Suddenly, huge spikes surrounded him and slammed into the sandworm. The sandworm screamed in pain.
Beast Boy looked back at Terra. "You did it Terra! Guess I really, really, REALLY owe you now!"
Terra smiled. "Don't worry Beast Boy. You've already done more for me then…aaggggggh."
A loud siren sounded.
Beast Boy and Terra dropped to their knees. "Aggggggh. Not again!"
Both Beast Boy and Terra let the darkness surround them.
Brookhaven Hospital Second FloorStarfire looked at the redheaded child. "Hello?"
Robin and Cyborg's mouth are still wide open. "Did you…how…"
"I don't know. But lets hope to find out." Robin approached the child. "Hey there little kid!"
The child looked up at Robin. "Hi. I'm not supposed to talk to strangers."
Robin smiled. "Well then, lets make sure we are not strangers then. I'm Robin." Robin pointed at himself. "Her name is Starfire." He pointed to Starfire. "And his name is Cyborg." He pointed at Cyborg. "Now, we are no longer strangers."
"Okay." The child responded. He looked at Cyborg, Robin, and Starfire one at a time. "Are you superheroes?"
Cyborg posed for the child. He even flexed his muscles. Or at least made the position of flexing his muscles in front of the child. "Yup! I'm a superhero!"
Robin smirked. "You could say that."
Starfire knelled down close to the child. "Why are you in this horrible monster filled place? Where are your guardians?"
The child looked confused. "Monsters?" He chuckled. "I'm a little kid. But I didn't see any monsters."
Starfire looked confused. 'Just like Jessica.' Realization hits Starfire. 'Wait, wasn't Jessica looking for her children?'
Robin thought about the child's discussion. 'The robots did disappear when he walked through the hallway.'
Cyborg stopped posing and looked down to the kid. 'Say, doesn't this kid…' "Hey kid, what's your name."
The child looked up a bit as if he was thinking. "Ummmm…Sam. Yeah, that's it."
Cyborg nodded. "Say Sam, is your mother's name…Jessica?"
Sam looked at Cyborg with a blank face. "I don't know."
"Probably always just called her mom huh?" Robin smiled at Sam.
Sam nodded.
"Well, does she have red hair like her?" Cyborg pointed to Starfire.
Sam nodded. "Red? Orangey. Mommy had that orangey hair."
Cyborg, Starfire, and Robin all looked at each other. They all nodded since they knew whom Sam was talking about. Jessica.
Robin returned his attention to Sam. "Sam, don't you have a brother?"
Sam nodded again. "Yes. Brother Isaac."
Cyborg became curious. "Do you know where your brother is right now?"
Sam shook his head.
Robin rubbed his chin. "So, his mother is Jessica. She's been looking for Sam, and I assume Isaac when we got here. His father was that other guy in the picture. Jessica says that he is…" Robin stopped himself when he remembered that Sam was standing right next to them. He leaned in closer to Starfire and Cyborg and whispered. "Dead."
Cyborg nodded. "But why are they here in this place?" Cyborg looked down the hallway. "And Sam here seems to be able to walk through this place, without monsters." Cyborg added.
Starfire eyes lit up. "And the last time I was with Jessica, she said that she did not see any monsters."
Robin raised an eyebrow at Starfire. "Really? So, Jessica and now Sam probably never had seen any monsters. Why? What's protecting them?"
"Um, nice people?" The child looked at the group with innocence in his eyes.
Robin, Starfire, and Cyborg all turned to Sam.
"Ummm…I have to go potty right now." Sam looked down in embarrassment.
Robin and Cyborg looked at each other.
Cyborg was the first to speak. "Well, given that there aren't any monsters when Sam is around…"
"Then there shouldn't be any problems if we allowed Sam to go to the bathroom then." Robin smirked. "We're safe as long as Sam is around."
Starfire smiled brightly, before frowning again when she remembered what happened to Jessica. "But if we let Sam go to the bathroom alone, he could disappear like Jessica. Then the monsters might return."
Robin looked at Starfire. He contemplated what Starfire's said. "Then we shouldn't let Sam out of our sights then." Robin looked at Cyborg who nodded in agreement.
Remembering the condition of the last bathroom she was in, Starfire had to ask. "And the condition of the room of toilets…"
"A lot cleaner then that other one Star." Robin responded.
Cyborg turned to Sam. "Okay Sam, hold my hand as we take a trip to the bathroom." Cyborg smiled to reassure Sam.
Sam nodded. "Okay mister metal person."
Starfire couldn't help but smile at the scene. "Sam is very cute."
Cyborg held Sam's hand as he led the way to the men's bathroom. Starfire and Robin followed.
-Meanwhile…
Brookhaven Hospital Basement FloorBeast Boy and Terra woke up in a daze, and in total darkness.
Beast Boy was the first to respond. "Where are we?" He turned on his flashlight and looked around the room he was in. "No bloody walls, no rusted floor…" Beast Boy smiled. "We're back in the normal Silent Hill!"
Terra couldn't help be smile as well. "Yes, we are out of that horrible place…" Terra's smile faded. "But there will still be monsters here."
Beast Boy looked down at his radio. Nothing. He also made sure that it was on. Yup, it was on, but it wasn't receiving anything. This brought relief for both of them, for the moment at least. "Well, we're safe for now. But we have to figure out where the heck we are."
Terra blinked. Terra didn't have a clue where they could be, so she said what came off the top of head. "Maybe we are still in Brookhaven Hospital? I mean, I don't know how all this worked…"
Beast Boy thought for a bit. "Maybe you're right. The last time we went all woozy and teleported between worlds, we wound up in the same building. At least the same building that…ummm…"
"Corresponds?" Terra gave, trying to help Beast Boy.
"Yeah, corresponds to the other world." Beast Boy thought it over some more. "This means that…"
"The others should be here!" Terra smiled brightly with her reasoning.
"Yes! We can join the others!" Beast Boy looked around the room. It seemed to be some sort of maintenance room. There is an emergency power generator. Not a surprise given that this is a hospital, and like all hospitals, it has an emergency power generator here. This gave Beast Boy an idea. "Why not turn it on?" Beast Boy searched the room for a switch. He found something that could very well be it. He switched it on.
A loud humming sound occurred when Beast Boy flipped the switch.
Terra looked at the generator coming to life. Soon, the room was bathed in red. The emergency lights went on. Terra smiled a bit. "At least we don't need that flashlight of yours at the moment."
"Yeah." Beast Boy agreed. "But knowing this place, we still need to keep our guard up."
"Of course." Terra readied herself just in case monsters were to come. "Now that my powers works here, we shouldn't have any problems now whatsoever."
Beast Boy smiled in agreement. "Oh yeah, and thanks for saving my life…again. I guess if there is anyone useless, it might as well be me."
Terra shook head. "Don't say that BB. If it wasn't for you, I might've let Slade control me forever. I would still have been that lost and lonely girl all my life. You trusted me more then anyone else in my life. What you did for me was something I could never truly repay you."
Beast Boy blushed a little at Terra. "I guess that, even when you were doing all those…bad things…" Beast Boy trailed off, before continuing. "I knew there was still a part of you that was still good."
Now it was Terra's turn to blush. "I…thank you Beast Boy." Terra opened the door into the red-lit hallway of the basement floor. They both approached the stairs and started to climb to the first floor. That was when static filled the stairway.
"Uh oh. That could only mean one thing…" Beast Boy frowned knowing what was just ahead of him.
NowhereRaven looked at the orb showing where Beast Boy and Terra were. She faintly smiled. "Yes, they are both safe." Raven then noticed that something was wrong. She made the orb shift to where Starfire, Robin, Cyborg, and Sam were at, near the bathroom. "Sam is keeping them the monsters away. But I can feel the scene shifting. No…" Raven thought in horror, as she knew what was about to happen. "I have to get there!" She frowned as she heard sounds of shuffling feet behind her. "Damien!"
Brookhaven Hospital First FloorStarfire and Robin were both outside the men's bathroom. Cyborg was inside waiting for Sam to finish up his business in one of the stalls.
Starfire turned to Robin with a slightly worried face. "Robin, do you think the others are safe?"
Robin gave a reassuring smile to Starfire. "I am sure they are all safe. Raven could take care of herself. Although I am honestly a little more worried about Beast Boy." Robin thought about Raven a little more. "In fact, I don't know why but I think Raven could somehow move around this world without any problems. At least, problems like us. Especially if what Claudia said was true."
The emergency lights all lit up causing both Starfire and Robin to look around. The no longer completely dark hospital seemed to glow in the early red light.
"Someone must've turned on the emergency generator. Could it be…" Robin was interrupted by static coming from his radio. "Oh no. Monsters are coming."
"Does this mean that Sam's power is waning?" Starfire looked concern. She looked down the reddened hallway, hoping not to see the monsters that seemed to be coming this way.
"I don't know Star." 'Whatever is happening, it isn't good.' Robin opened the bathroom door. He sees Cyborg still standing next to the stall that Sam was in. "Cyborg, hurry it up. We've got trouble."
Cyborg nodded. He knocked the door on the stall that Sam was in. "Hey Sam, could you hurry it up, we have to go soon." Sam didn't respond. "Sam?" Static started ringing through Cyborg's ear. "Sam?!"
"Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaawwwww!" BAM! A claw crashed through the door.
Cyborg stared in shock. "No!" Cyborg stepped back from the stall.
Robin stared wide-eyed in fear. "No. Cyborg!"
BOOM! The bathroom stall door shattered. A huge monster, with huge lumbering arms, massive claws, and a huge jaw full of sharp teeth making up the majority of its eyeless head, started lumbering toward Cyborg. Cyborg continued to step back toward the exit.
Robin readied a birdorang as Cyborg and the monster came closer to him.
"Eek!" Starfire blasted at something behind Robin.
Robin instantly turned around when her heard Starfire. "Starfire!" He looked back at Cyborg, then at Starfire.
Cyborg took out his shotgun, and shot three times at the monster. The monster seemed to absorb each attack. The monster however, did slow down his advancement some.
Robin decided that, at the moment at least, Cyborg seemed to have the situation under control. Robin decided to help Starfire. He went out the door and took out his exploding disc. In front of him were the monsters that were similar to the one that Cyborg was currently fighting.
Back in the bathroom, the monster slashed at Cyborg. Cyborg ducked as the monster's claws crashed into the nearby stalls. The stalls fell like dominos. Cyborg ran behind the monster and fired his shotgun again. BAM! The monster squealed in pain. Cyborg cocked the gun, ready to fire again. The monster spun around. The massive claws crashed into the row of sinks. Water splashed everywhere. Cyborg readied his shotgun toward the monster. Click! "Damn." Cyborg took a step back. He hit the far wall of the bathroom.
The monster roared at Cyborg. His huge breath washed over Cyborg.
"Ewwwwww. Didn't anyone tell you that's rude?" Cyborg activated his sonic cannon. The monster roared at him again. The monster raised its massive claws at Cyborg. Although he didn't think he had much of a chance with a weapon that wasn't meant to kill something as massive as this thing, he didn't have a lot of other options right now. "Here goes nothing." Cyborg blasted it into the monster's mouth.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaa." The monster started flailing around.
Cyborg blinked. "The heck?"
The monster continued to flail as blood gushed out of its mouth.
Cyborg put his arm up in a futile attempt to block the geyser of blood from hitting him. The monster finally crashed into the ground, dead and still. Cyborg looked at himself. He is covered from head to toe in blood. "Ehhhhhhh. Why me?" He washed himself off with the destroyed sinks next to him. He turned to the door when he hears explosions.
In the hallway, Starfire and Robin were blasting the monsters. Starfire volleyed a round of starbolts. The starbolts only seemed to scratch the monster. The monster arms go from side to side, creating huge scratch marks on the floor, and on the walls.
Robin jumped over Starfire and threw a number of starbolts at the monster. Flesh ripped from the monster. The monster screamed in pain, but it still continued to advance toward Robin and Starfire.
On the other side, another one of these monsters was approaching them.
Robin looked in front of him, then behind him. "These guys are tough! I almost gave them everything I've got…"
Starfire's eyes started to water. "Is this the end?"
"Aim for the mouth!" Cyborg yelled through the door.
"What?" Robin spun his head towards the bathroom door.
Cyborg crashed through the bathroom door, running into Robin. "Aim for the mouth when it's open! It's their weakness!"
Robin understood and he returned his attention to the monster. "Open wide!" Robin threw a birdorang at the monster's shoulder. The monster screamed in pain. Robin turned to Starfire and screamed at her. "Starfire, now!"
Starfire nodded, and she shot a starbolt into the monster's mouth. The monster screamed louder as blood gushed out of it. The monster fell to the ground.
Robin heard the monster behind him roar. He quickly spun around and threw an exploding disc, his last one, into its mouth. The monster too, screamed, and fell to the floor.
Soon, a near silence consumed the area. Only the soft static can be heard. Indicating that there are still monsters there, but for now, none close to them.
Robin sighed before a scowl washed over his face. He got into Cyborg's face. "Why didn't you look after him?!"
"What are you talking about Robin?" Cyborg now spotted a scowl.
"Sam! Why didn't you look out for Sam?!" Steam started to rise from Robin's head.
Now Cyborg's face was red with pure anger. "I was looking at him!"
"It apparently wasn't enough!" Robin pushed into Cyborg, forcing him to lean back.
"Look, I'm concerned about him as well!" Cyborg pushed Robin back.
"Then why were there monster's here? And where is Sam?" Robin pushed Cyborg back.
Cyborg brought his hand and pushed Robin back. "Whatever this world did, it got him! I don't know how, but it did!"
Starfire looked at the two arguing 'friends' of hers. 'Why, why are they fighting? Why now?' "Stop this mean talk!" Starfire got into the middle of the two. "We do not have time for this! Our other friends are still missing. We should not be fighting each other!"
Robin and Cyborg growled at each other, before they took in Starfire's word. They both calmed down.
Robin nodded. "Whatever happened, we can't change it right now." Robin sighed. "We need to focus on finding the others, and getting out of this place."
Cyborg sighed as well. "Yes, sitting here arguing over it will not help with this situation." Cyborg scratched his head. "Speaking of which, good thing I don't have to clean up this mess. Look at all the damages those monsters made."
"Wait a second…" Robin looked down the hallway. "Starfire, how many monster's did you destroy?"
Starfire thought about the monsters that she was forced to fight. "I do not know. There were too many to count."
"If there were too many to count, then where are their bodies?" Robin narrowed his eyes. Then he looked back at the men's bathroom behind him. He peaked in. Sure enough, it was thoroughly destroyed. However… "Cyborg, when you entered the room with Sam, was the bathroom destroyed like it is now?"
Cyborg shook his head. "No, it was the way…" Realization hit Cyborg like a bolt of lightning. "Wait a second, we fought that one monster in there before remember Robin?"
Robin nodded. "That's correct."
"Yet when we entered with Sam, the bathroom was completely normal." Cyborg was completely stunned about this. "How is that possible?"
"Unless you have people cleaning up the bodies and repairing the buildings when we're not looking, then it has to do with this world." Robin frowned.
Cyborg looked back at the bathroom. "Where are we?"
Screams are heard in the distance. As well as sounds of more destruction. There was even a roar that didn't sound like the monsters.
Cyborg and Robin looked at each other.
Robin was the first to comment. "That must mean someone else is fighting."
"And that could be…" Cyborg started running toward the sound. Robin and Starfire followed.
Nowhere"Azerath, Metrion, Zinthos!" Raven used her powers to grab a monster, and slammed it into one behind her. The white zombie like monster screamed as it was rammed into a group of monsters.
Raven spun around and ripped boards from the wall. She rammed the boards into the monsters. The boards decapitate the white zombie monsters until they reach the last monsters. Those monsters impaled themselves into them. The monsters all crashed to the floor as their screams of pain die down.
Raven panted at the monsters. "That… pant… should… pant… take… pant… care… pant… of… pant… it." Raven got her breath and returned her attention to the orb. "Terra and Beast Boy seem to be holding out, barely." She moved the image to Robin, Starfire, and Cyborg. They were all running towards Terra and Beast Boy. "Good, the team is getting together." However, she looked at the area again. "Damn. I have to get there." She ran in one direction and prepared to create a portal.
Brookhaven Hospital First FloorTerra brought up more cement blocks with one very sharp and pointed side. She fired them toward the monster. The blocks crashed into the monster, tearing its thick flesh. It however still didn't slow it down.
Beast Boy was in his Tyrannosaurus Rex form. He roared back at the monster. He slammed in the monster, forcing it back. A second monster came to the other side. Beast Boy whipped his tail, forcing the other monster to the floor.
Terra brought her hands up. Her eyes glowed. She grunted as huge spikes stab the monster in the chest.
The monster swung its arms, destroying the rock spikes.
Beast Boy changed into a gorilla. He picked up a potted plant. He threw it at the second screaming monster. "Die already!"
Blood flowed out of the monster's mouth before he collapsed.
Beast Boy blinked surprised. "Wow. That worked out better then I thought."
"Beast Boy!" Cyborg yelled as the second monster fell to the ground.
"Cyborg!" Beast Boy waved as the first monster slammed its claws into a nearby wall, sending debris everywhere. Terra had to duck in order to prevent being hit from said debris.
Robin threw a birdorang, scratching the first monster. The monster screamed.
Starfire threw a starbolt into the monster's mouth. The monster screamed as the starbolt hit it in the mouth. Blood splattered all over the walls. Terra, Beast Boy, Robin, Starfire, and Cyborg covered their ears. Finally, the monster seemed to lose all color, and fell to the floor with a thud.
Silence temporarily consumed the area. That is when Beast Boy hugged Cyborg. "Cyborg!" He later hugged Robin with a crushing grip similar to Starfire's famous hugs. "Robin!" Robin struggled to breath. Beast Boy repeated the act on Starfire. "Starfire!" Starfire struggled to breath now. Beast Boy finally let go of Starfire, and greeted everyone. "Guys! It is so good to see you all!"
"It's great to see you too BB!" Robin greeted. "So, nice to know that you didn't have too much trouble surviving."
Beast Boy scratched the back of his head. "Well, I wouldn't say I didn't have too much trouble. I did get help after all. Raven helped me when things got a little hairy." Beast Boy also stepped back a little. "And I did get help…from Terra."
"Terra?" Cyborg, Robin, and Starfire all said, stunned.
Beast Boy nodded, and gestured to her.
Terra was looking down. She barely looked up to acknowledge the other Titans. "Ummm…hi?"
Cyborg and Robin looked at Terra with suspicion in their eyes.
Starfire went up to her and hugged. "Friend." She let go a bit, and her huge smile disappeared, replaced with a questioning look. "I think."
Terra sighed. "I know none of you trust me. And I don't blame any of you for that. And…given where we are…this is probably my well deserved punishment."
Cyborg's expression softened a bit. "Hey Terra. Believed me, from what we've been through, no one deserves to be here." Cyborg stopped a bit. "Okay, Slade does, but certainly not you."
Starfire smiled. "Yes. This evil place is too evil for you. Only someone really bad like Slade or the entire Gordanians race belonged here."
Robin raised an eyebrow at Starfire's 'Gordanian' comment. However, he passed it off as minor thing, and returned his attention to Terra. He patted Terra on the back. "Yeah. While we probably won't simply accept you as part of the team just yet, that doesn't mean you deserve to be here. I believe you still have a good heart. Even if it got sidetracked in your life."
Terra brightened a bit.
Cyborg patted Terra on the back. "Tell you what, if we all get through this alive, we'll all discuss it over a pizza."
Terra smirked. "Does this mean I get the last slice again?"
Cyborg chuckled. "We'll see."
Robin returned his attention to Beast Boy. "Say Beast Boy, you mentioned Raven…"
Beast Boy nodded, sadly. "Yeah, but I don't know where she is. She…"
"Right here." Raven was knelling down on the far end of the reddened hallway.
All of them were stunned when they heard the voice. After the initial shock, huge smiles appeared on their faces. They were finally completely reunited. "Raven!" Beast Boy, Robin, Starfire, Cyborg, and Terra all yelled back.
"Save the gratitude for later." Raven narrowed her eyes. "Run!"
"Huh?" The others responded stunned.
"Didn't you hear me? Run!" As Raven yelled that, their radios go crazy, and an explosion is heard behind the other Titans. It was the monsters from before.
Cyborg spun readied his sonic cannon. He pointed it to the massive monster in front of him. "Open wide!"
BOOM! A monster crashed through the wall in front of Raven. Raven jumped, and hovered backwards a bit.
"Raven!" Robin sprinted towards Raven.
"Robin!" Starfire reached for Robin. Starfire started to follow Robin when a huge monster blasted the wall between Robin and Starfire. Starfire covered her eyes to protect them from the dust.
Terra blasted the first monster with tons of cement blocks in the mouth. The monster still kept its mouth shut most of the time. Then, the monster cracked it open a bit, just enough for a few rocks, going at the speed of bullets, through it. The monster reflexively screamed in pain. It started flailing its arms. Beast Boy changed into ram and rammed his head into the monster's arm, preventing them from hitting either Cyborg or Terra.
Cyborg ducked as Beast Boy flew over him. He started to hear Starfire firing starbolts behind him. He spun around and raised his sonic cannon.
Robin continued to sprint toward Raven. He threw a birdorang that lodges itself into the monster's shoulder. When the monster barely opened its mouth, Robin took out his Bo Staff, jumped, and rammed it into the monster's mouth. Blood gushed from the wound, as Robin used his feet to jump off the monster.
Starfire continued to blast the monster in front of her. She then used her laser eyes causing huge scares on the monster. Yet still, the monster still didn't budge his mouth home.
Cyborg readied his sonic cannon, Terra her rocks, and Beast Boy, in a gorilla form, got down ready to strike.
"Star, aim for the mouth." Cyborg yelled.
Starfire nodded. She powered up her starbolts, and fired them at the monster. Cyborg fired his sonic cannon in that direction, Terra sent rods of rocks, and Beast Boy picked up a steel rod and hurled it through the monster's mouth. The monster ever so lightly opened its mouth, screamed and gushed blood everywhere. It fell, dead on the floor.
"Raaaaaaaaaaaaoooooorrrrrrrrrr!" Another monster screamed behind Starfire, Cyborg, Beast Boy, and Terra.
"We can't stay here!" Cyborg yelled. "We have to retreat."
"But Robin…" Starfire looked worried.
"Don't worry. He has Raven." Cyborg began running up the stairs.
Starfire looked in the direction where Robin was. More monsters crashed through the walls.
Beast Boy and Terra ran up the stairs. Beast Boy looked back. "Come on Star. We have to go!"
Starfire continue to stare at the direction for a second more. She then turned back to the others and ran up the stairs.
Robin took the birdorang from the monster. Loud screams were heard behind him. He spun around. More monsters were coming. However, these monsters, while the same as the others, seemed to have a speed boast. They started to run towards Robin.
"Robin, over here!" Raven was in some sort of dimensional portal.
Robin looked back one more time, and then sprinted toward Raven at full speed.
"Hurry Robin!" Raven held out her hand.
The monsters ran after Robin. Pieces of the walls, floors, and the ceiling were flying everywhere.
Robin continued to sprint with all his might. The closet monster slashed the floor right behind Robin. Robin jumped forward as the monster brought its arm up. Robin reached for Raven as he was flying in the air.
Raven grabbed his hand, and pulled him through the portal. The portal disappeared and the monster crashed into the far wall.
-------Chapter 8 is Complete
Wooohooo! Second update is complete! Next, DLA!
BTW, if you noticed the phrase that Raven said earlier in the story, if it sounds, half familiar, then you would probably be a Warcraft III fan. I roughly used the words spoken from the Night Elves as the words she used to make the image orb. Had to have something different then Raven's usual phrases.
As for this chapter, well, normally after finishing a chapter, I usually planned to write more. More action and stuff, and in turn, make the chapter longer. Not this time though. This is about as much as I wanted to write for this chapter. Why am I telling you this? No reason. Just like to inflate my own ego. :-P
What is Damien Colt's deal? What happened to Sam? What will Raven tell Robin? Will the team reunite again or will they continue to be separated? What happened to Bryan? Find out when the story progresses.
Omake Time (Yeah I know. This story doesn't exactly lend itself to humor. But…bare we me here. I'm bored).
Action!
Starfire's eyes started to water. "Is this the end?"
"Aim for the mouth!" Cyborg yelled through the door.
"Ewwwwww. That is like so gross." Clover popped her head in.
The monster stopped its advance. And simply stared stunned at the newcomers.
Alex looked into the bathroom. "Ewwwwwww." Alex turned green. "So much blood and guts."
Sam frowned. "Talk about your house of horrors!"
"Um….that's kind of the point…" Robin scratched the back of his head.
Starfire grinded her teeth when she saw the spies. "You three!"
The monster looked down at the Spies…well, okay, they didn't have eyes, but it still made that gesture.
Sam looked at the monster. "Wow! That is an interesting specimen. Maybe we could send it back to the lab for analysis."
The monster, Robin and Cyborg all turned chibi. The background also turned multicolor to insensate their complete and utter confusion.
Sam, Clover, and Alex all looked at the scene. They all sweat dropped.
Clover is the first to comment. "Whoa, talk about totally bizarre."
Alex also blinked in confusion. "Ummmm…wow. I've never seen that before."
Sam turned to the others. "It's a common thing in Japanese anime. It helps exaggerate the expressions of the character by also exaggerating their form."
Clover narrowed her eyes and eyed Sam. "Ummm…okay. Teen Titans is not Japanese."
"No. But anime influenced. Much like us." Sam retorted. "And we also had our moments."
"Yeah." Alex nodded. "But not that extreme!"
Terra walked on the set. "Hey, what the heck is going on?" Terra looked at the spies. "Ummm…SimmyC, are they supposed to be here? SimmyC?"
SimmyC is in his directing chair, talking on his cell phone.
"SIMMYC!" Starfire and Terra yelled at SimmyC.
SimmyC put down the cell phone. "What? Oh, we're still shooting. Well…"
Raven got out of her trailer. "Isn't it my scene yet? Hey wait a second…"
"Spies?" SimmyC frowned.
CUT!
Robin: (to Beast Boy who is sitting on the side, waiting for his scene) Man, I was really hoping to get this done before lunch.
Beast Boy: (Takes out a sandwich) All well. It is out of our hands now. (To Terra) So, want to hang out at my trailer? (winks)
Terra: Maybe later.
Monster 1: (to monster 2) Roar.
Monster 2: (to monster 1) Roar roar.
Monster 1: Roar. (goes to trailer)
Monster 2: Rooooooaaaarrrr. (goes to trailer too)
SimmyC: Sam, Clover, Alex, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE RUINING MY SCENE?!
Alex: Well, about that job…
SimmyC: I told you that if there's a job for you three, I'd call. Did you hear your phones ring?
Clover: Well, no. But it is so unfair. While we have this huge bill to pay for, these actors have three jobs here!
Raven: You think it is easy preparing for three stories? One I'm a love interest. (Raven gets close to Robin. Robin blushes). Another, I'm highly paranoid and untrustworthy. Here, I have a freaking have a cult and monsters to fight. Easy?
Clover: Nah. But at least you have a job. I bet they pay you big bucks for these gig right?
Raven: Well, yeah. But still…
Alex: See? We could work in three stories! Please SimmyC? Maybe just as a walk on?
Sam: (Turned to Alex) Um Alex, Walk On don't get paid.
Alex: Oh, well, at least one that pays? Please?
SimmyC: I promised you three a job if there is one. Since there isn't one yet…SECURITY!
Clover, Sam, and Alex: Eeeeeeekkkkkk! (runs away from security guards)
SimmyC: (sighs) Why me? (Takes blow horn) Okay, lets do this again. Take it from the top…
-Sorry about that. Like I said in the Omake in "Two Birds…Part 2", I hate to admit it, but I really like Totally Spies! Even though, I'm not in its target audience (preteen girls). Hence, why I wanted to put this in. BTW, this is a continuation of an Omake from "Two Birds…Part 2", chapter 9.
