-This is Chapter 10 of Silent Titan! Sorry it took so long but, well, this is my longest story. Not only in terms of words, but also in terms of all the planning I had to do (have to make sure each chapter is well thought out in order to pump out the 'quality' work you see here).
-First, apologizes if the previous chapter was a little confusing. I sort of rushed it a bit. The proofreading and revision I made to it should help make things a little clearer.
-Oh yeah, and I didn't intend for Starfire to be beaten up so much. Just that, well…it just happened that way. :-P
-As for Raven/Robin? Well, it was one of the possibilities I've been throwing around recently. Though my current intention is to keep this story relationship free. At most, this might become a BB/Terra fic, if I don't kill her off later.
-Also, if you have noticed, many of the monsters, don't have names. This is mainly due to the fact that, well, I don't like coming up with names since many of the monsters I come up with are not found in the game.
-Without further ado, on with the story!
Nowhere
The last four-legged beast was struck with a pole. However, behind them, were hooded zombie monsters.
"Azerath, Metrion, Zinthos!" Raven grabbed a hold of one of the zombie monsters in a hood, and broke it's limbs.
One zombie monster jumped up, and came down on Raven.
Robin slammed his Bo Staff into its head. He kicked it to the side, bashing it as hard as he can with his Bo Staff until he hears its head crack. Another monster approached Robin from the side, ready to strike with his massive claws.
"Robin!" Raven grabbed a hold of the wood paneling and slammed them into the monster before it reached Robin.
Robin jumped backed and prepared to attack more incoming zombie monsters. He ran, jumped up, and slammed his foot at an incoming zombie monster, crushing his chest.
"Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" The monster screeched.
Robin looked up and saw another one being picked up and slammed into the wall by Raven. Robin took out an exploding disc, and threw it at a monster behind it. BOOM! This attack knocked out a number of the hooded zombie monsters. Body parts flew everywhere. Robin even ran up, grabbed a zombie monster's severed arm, and bashed a zombie monster over and over again. After he bludgeoned that monster to death, Robin realized what he was holding. "Ewwwwwwwwwwwwww…" He dropped the arm at that instance.
More of the zombie monsters approached Robin and Raven. Robin threw a birdorang into one of the monster's head. He was about to strike another monster when Raven's dark power surrounded the monsters. Suddenly, all of these monster's necks snapped in an instant. Robin blinked in amazement that the fight was now over.
"I could've handled them all on my own Robin!" Raven glared at Robin.
Both Robin and Raven were standing over the remains of a number of monsters. "We are a team Raven! I won't leave anyone of you for any reason."
Raven grinned at Robin. "Same old stubborn Robin."
"I'd like to think that it's because I care so much!" Robin crossed his arms and grinned at her.
Raven sighed. "Well, I'd probably get the same thing with the others unless I force you guys out." 'Which is probably something I would have to…' Raven felt a surge of power. She kneels in pain.
"Raven?" Robin went up to her and placed his hands on her arms. "What's wrong?"
Raven heard a male voice in her head. "Show us where she is Raven! We might even spare your friends if you give us the secrets! Your destiny is at hand…"
Raven looked around and saw symbols appearing on the wall. 'They are trying to control me again! Trying to get into my head. I can't let them do it!' "We can't stay here!" Raven stepped back holding her head. "We have to get back into either dimension!"
Robin looked around and sees the symbols. "Hurry Raven!"
Raven placed her hands in front of her. She makes a portal in front of her. "This should be the portal back to normal Silent Hill. No guarantees however."
"I don't care. If we survived this far I don't…" Robin help Raven as she fall to her knees in pain. "Raven!"
"Hurry Robin! I don't know how much longer I can hold on!" Raven quenched her eyes, trying to maintain the portal that she created.
Robin held Raven in his arms. He took a deep breath and ran into the portal. Where they were going, he wasn't quite sure yet. 'All I hope is that it was a place where we can take a rest.'
Outside Brookhaven Hospital"Come on Bryan! It's us!" Beast Boy rolled to the side, avoiding a slice by a massive leg like appendage that grew out of Bryan's back. Bryan countered by hitting Beast Boy with the pipe Bryan was holding. This sent Beast Boy flying to the hospital's wall.
"Beast Boy!" Terra narrowed her eyes at Bryan. "You might've been a nice guy once, but not here!" Terra sent a number of boulders Bryan. This slammed Bryan into the street. Terra made a huge boulder and hovered it above Bryan. "Goodbye monster!"
Bryan held a hand out to the Titans. His human side was shaking in fear. "Guys?"
Starfire saw this. "NO!" Starfire got in front of Terra. "There might still be a chance to save him!" Starfire pleaded.
"Get out of the way Starfire!" Terra was about to slam the boulder down when BOOM! The boulder shattered sending tons of rock and debris everywhere.
Bryan used his new monster appendages and jumped up into the sky. Terra pushed Starfire off and rolled out of the way. Bryan's monster legs embedded themselves into the ground.
Cyborg blasted Bryan with his sonic cannon. This sent Bryan back as he screamed in pain. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Bryan fell to the ground.
Beast Boy dropped from the creator that was created when he hit the wall. He hit the ground with a thud. He slowly got up, and shook his head in an attempt to clear it. "Whoa. Why do all the evil monsters have to be so powerful?"
Cyborg readied his sonic cannon again. 'Maybe, just…maybe…' More monstrous appendages burst out of Bryan. Bryan again grabbed a pipe. 'No…there is no hope for him.'
Starfire was blasting starbolts at Bryan's back. She felt that the pulsating being latched on to his back was the cause of Bryan turning evil. "Get off of him you evil monster!"
Bryan's mind was cloudy. All he felt was pain and the feel of blood seeping down his arms and legs. He was no longer in control of his body. As he struggled to make sense of what was going on around him, in a moment of clarity, he recognizes the super heroes he saw before. "Stop…me…"
One of the monstrous appendages slammed Starfire to the side. Starfire lay on the ground as her vision blurred a bit. What she could see was a blurry black object coming down on her. That object was about to hit when a bright blue light hits it and knocks it out of the way.
"Starfire! Get out of the way!" Cyborg took out his shotgun and readied it on Bryan. BOOM! Cyborg fired his weapon. But all he hit was air. He looked up to see Bryan coming down straight towards him. He fired a second shot at Bryan that hit his chest dead on. However, the power of the shotgun blast was not enough for him to push Bryan back. Cyborg instantly took out his sonic cannon at that moment. When Bryan was inches away from Cyborg, Cyborg blasted Bryan back. Bryan landed on the ground.
Beast Boy bounced up and down towards Cyborg in his tiger form. Once he was by Cyborg's side, he turned towards Bryan whose inhuman monstrous body was getting up again. "Bryan…"
"Terra! Are you okay?" Cyborg looked towards the area that Terra was at. She was a little stunned, but ready to fight nonetheless. "On my mark, strike Bryan with everything you got!"
"Should we be doing this Cy?" Beast Boy asked with uncertainty in his voice.
"I wish we didn't BB. I wish we didn't." Cyborg brought his sonic cannon and readied another attack from Bryan.
Bryan flipped over using his monster legs. He jumped up like a spider and was coming down on Cyborg.
Cyborg was ready. He blasted Bryan back up into the air. "Now Terra!"
As Bryan was falling back to earth, huge spikes came out of it and slammed into Bryan's chest. Impaling him.
Starfire saw the whole carnage from her position. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Tears rolled down her face. "How could you?"
Terra walked up next to Cyborg. She turned to Starfire who was still on the ground. "We had to do it Starfire."
Starfire was trying to hold back any more tears that threatened to come out. "But…"
The Titans all turned around as they hear the sound of someone's spasms and coughing. They all stare in horror as they see the impaled Bryan.
Bryan was coughing up tons of blood. His body convulsed with each cough. Blood was flying everywhere. Finally, Bryan's eyes rolled back as he fell, limp on the spikes. Some sort of creatures came out of Bryan's back and crawled down his arm. As the creatures came down and was on the road, it slowly wiggled its way towards the Titans.
"I got it!" Beast Boy ran up to the creature and smashed his foot into it. Red blood squirted everywhere. "Ewwwwwwwwwwwww…"
Starfire completely broke down. "See? THERE WAS STILL A CHANCE!"
"NO STARFIRE!" Cyborg shook Starfire. "EVEN IF…" Cyborg looked at the tear stricken Starfire. He calmed down and lowered his voice. "Even if we were able to get rid of that monster, he would've still died with everything it did to him."
"No! That is not true!" Starfire refused to listen. She refused to believe that they were powerless in stopping Bryan's fate.
"I'm sorry Starfire." Cyborg lowered his head in shame. "If there was a way we could've saved Bryan, believe me I would've taken it. But…" Cyborg looked at the still monstrous Bryan. The grotesque boils on his skin, the appendages on his back; it was not a pretty sight. "But, he was too far gone now. I'm…I'm sorry Star."
Beast Boy looked at Bryan. "He's in a better place." He looked around the dark world that they were still in. "Yeah. A much better place." Beast Boy tried to convince himself of that.
Terra looked ahead. "We should be going. I mean, I'm sorry about what happened to Bryan but…"
"I agree." Cyborg somberly replied. "We have to go on. Who knows how many other people are in this same predicament."
Beast Boy nodded. "Let's finish this."
They all started to walk towards the unrestricted path. All of them began walking, except for Starfire who was still staring at Bryan.
Cyborg stopped and turned to Starfire. "Star."
Starfire turned to Cyborg and nodded. Before she caught up to him again, she looked at Bryan one last time.
Alternate Office Building"So much for a safe area to be in." Raven commented as she rammed a floorboard into a monster. The sickly white human looking monster covered in black veins screamed in pain before it fell limp.
"Well, one thing I have learned here, this place is full of surprises." Robin threw a freeze disk at another monster. The monster froze. From that, Robin bashed it with his Bo Staff, shattering it into a million pieces. "Besides, with what was happening to you back there, I would've taken my chances here anyways."
"Sure Boy Wonder." Raven scanned the area. The office was a typical alternate Silent Hill building. Bloodied walls, metal grated floors, chains on the walls, and so on. Unfortunately, given that this place looks like any other place in Silent Hill, Raven had no idea where they were at the moment. 'One of the disadvantages of jumping from Nowhere to here.' "I guess we should look for an exit. If there is one."
"Sounds good to me." Robin looked around the area. "If it is anything like the other areas of Silent Hill, we should check every room for clues. Hopefully, it wouldn't be too much."
"Yeah." Raven looked at the doors down the hallway. None of them yielded clues onto which one they should try first. "They certainly don't make this easy on us."
"Only thing we can do is to keep alert." Robin began to check each door. Knowing that there could be a surprise waiting on the other side of the door, he put his back to the wall and slowly opened the first door handle. The room, office 202, seemed to have a working doorknob. Though it was pretty odd Robin thought. Whoever was doing this gave them a way to advance with all these puzzles and so forth. Even restricted their movement with broken doorknobs and boarded up areas. Even though it was obvious that they wanted to stop them. 'Are they playing with us?' Robin thought with contempt. 'No matter, the sooner we get this done, the sooner we can get out of here.' Robin slowly turned the knob. He hears the click, knowing that the door is now open. He allows the door to creak open. If there were any surprises, hopefully it won't be coming from the monster. Robin looked down at his radio, no static. Hopefully this was a sign that there were no monsters in this office. Robin turned and faced the door. He kicked open the door. To his relief, there weren't any monsters. With Raven following, Robin entered the office.
Raven looked around the dark office. Robin turned on his flashlight and began scanning it. The office seemed to be mostly bare. There doesn't seem to be much in this room except for blood. That is, until she noticed something written on the walls. "Robin, over there!"
Robin pointed the flashlight towards that wall. Sure enough, there were words there. "Another clue to help us along." Robin surmised. From death to birth, the numbers of life have you! "I have no idea what that means…"
"Guess we have to find out." Raven ushered Robin out of the office. "And we have plenty of doors to look through."
Streets of Silent HillCyborg, with his mini-flashlight, looked around his general area. "So far, all the doors we've tried were locked. Good thing I guessed since that prevents us from going too far."
Terra also looked at the area. The buildings seemed to be all old and historic. "This must be the old Silent Hill."
Cyborg looked at his map. "Well, according to this map, we're on Canoll Street at the foot of Nathan Avenue." He looked at some of the buildings. "There's a museum of the place. Maybe we could get a clue as to what exactly is so special about this town."
"Do we really want to know?" Beast Boy looked at the museum. Silent Hill Historical Society. "After all, their present is bad enough."
"Yes. This town is bad already. How would the past be any different?" Starfire asked Cyborg. She too, wasn't sure she wanted to know why this town came about.
Cyborg thought about that. 'If this is all recent, and Silent Hill was a 'normal' town before, maybe the pictures won't be so bad.' "It shouldn't be that bad. I mean, if you think about it, this town used to be monster free right? Relatively speaking."
Static from their radio sounded.
Terra looked around in the darkness. "No matter where we go, we have to fight monsters anyways. Why not take a little detour that promises to be fun and educating? Hehehe."
"Well, I guess it wouldn't hurt." Beast Boy stared at the darkness where moans and groans were coming from. "Besides, if we have to fight a monster anyway, no reason why we shouldn't do it…indoors."
"I have to concur." Starfire added.
"Then it is agreed." Cyborg concluded. He went up to the Historical Society's door. "Get ready."
The other Titans nodded. They prepared for a potential attack. Cyborg slowly turned the knob. The door creaked open. So far, to the relief of the Titans, there was nothing. However, knowing this town, just around the corner could very well be a monster. They couldn't let up no matter what.
Cyborg was the first to enter with his sonic cannon ready. Although the possibility of hurting a survivor seemed less likely as they went along, he still wanted to make sure that his first hit wasn't fatal. His thoughts went back to Bryan. 'Of course, even survivors won't survive.' In the back of his mind, he still wasn't sure that killing Bryan was the right thing to do. Although he kept telling himself that it was right, that voice simply wouldn't die. 'I guess this is a good thing.' He surmised. 'After all, if I didn't think this way, then I might becomes the uncaring criminals we used to fight on a daily basis.' At the moment, he tried to put those thoughts aside since, if they were all going to get out of here, they can't dwell on little aspects like these. 'All we can do is move forward and hope for the best.'
Terra scanned the area. Unfortunately, like every other area in this town, it was completely dark. The only light came from Cyborg's flashlight. "Doesn't anyone here pay their electric bills?"
Starfire looked at the pictures that hung on the Historic Society's walls. They all seemed to depict a time in the town's past. From it's colonization, to it's transformation to a tourist town. It all seemed nice an all, but, at least to Starfire's mind, didn't provide clues to why the town was the way it was now.
Cyborg was also fascinated about the pictures and the information card that came with them. However, while most of them were simply boring facts about the town's founding, some interesting information possibly lend itself some useful clues. "So, the town had two plague outbreaks. That would explain why this town needed two hospitals."
"This place was cursed from the beginning." Beast Boy commented.
"So, this town was evil before it became…evil?" Starfire looked at the pictures again. "Why would people come to such an evil place?"
"Star, it isn't like the town had a 'we're evil' sign up." Terra added.
"Yeah." Cyborg looked at more artifacts and pictures. "Though home to two prisons might do it. Also, for a screwed up town, this place appeared to have been highly religious at times."
"Sure would be religious." Beast Boy added. "Especially if they were worshipping the devil!"
"Devil…demon." Terra looked at the pictures with interest. "You don't suppose this is why Raven is involved do you?"
"They have been worshipping half of Raven?" Starfire asked confused.
"No! I mean…" Terra raised an eyebrow. "Maybe her father or mother? Which side did her demon side come from?"
"Maybe Raven would tell us…" Cyborg stopped as he thought he heard crying. "Shhhhhhhh. Do you hear that?"
Everyone quieted down. There seemed to be faint crying coming from one of the rooms of the building.
"Could be a trap?" Beast Boy speculated.
"Possible. But let's check it out." Cyborg cautiously walked towards the source of the crying. If it was a monster, he vowed not to be caught off guard.
Terra, Starfire, and Beast Boy followed Cyborg. They were all shaking in fear.
Cyborg turned a corner and viewed the scene in front of him. He sees a little boy sitting in a corner, crying. "Sam?"
The boy looked up from his position. "My name is Isaac."
"So, you're Sam's brother." Cyborg concluded.
The boy nodded. "I've done a really bad thing. And now I'm going to be punished for it."
Starfire cocked her head to Isaac. "What did you do that was so ba…"
The wall shattered. Pyramid Head began lumbering towards Isaac.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Isaac ran through the back door.
"No! I won't let you hurt Isaac!" Starfire blasted Pyramid Head with a ton of starbolts. No effect. Pyramid Head didn't even acknowledge Starfire's existence. He continued walking towards the area where Isaac just left through.
"Hey! Why don't you pick on someone your own size!" Cyborg took out his shotgun, and blasted a few shotgun blasted into Pyramid Head. Again, no effect. Pyramid Head continued his walk towards Isaac. He stepped out and continued his lumbering chase of Isaac.
"I won't let you hurt him!" Starfire kicked Pyramid Head. Pyramid Head only recoiled slightly, and then he backhanded Starfire. Starfire crashed through the wall.
"Star!" Beast Boy, in his ram form, rammed Pyramid Head in the back at full speed. Beast Boy bounced right off of him.
Terra brought her hands in front of her. She summoned rocky spikes to surround Pyramid Head. Still no effect. He simply destroyed and walked through the spikes as if they were nothing.
Cyborg went up to Starfire. "You okay Star?"
Starfire was a little dazed, but otherwise, all right. "We have to stop him!"
"I agree!" He brought his shotgun up towards the direction that Pyramid Head was at. Much to his dismay, he was gone. And so was Isaac. "Isaac? ISAAC!"
Alternate Office Building"Take this!" Robin threw a number of birdorangs into the monster. The birdorangs lodged itself into the huge lumbering monster. It shrieked in pain with each hit.
Behind him, Raven shot tiny telekinetic bullets at it. The bullets went through the monster, turning it into Swiss cheese. The monster collapsed into a bloody mess.
Robin's radio died down. "That ends that." He looked inside the room. Other then the now dead monster, bloody chains and other not so pleasant things, the room was another dead end. "It's nice that they block off some rooms, but I wish they would do it for all of them."
"Did you really think they would want to make it that easy for you?" Raven crossed her arms.
Robin grinned. "Of course not." He head towards another room. Like before, he cautiously opened it. Once he got it open, and no monsters attacked, or static sounded from the radio, he entered it. The room seemed to more normal then the others. With the exception of the bloody veins that covered the walls and floor, it all seemed normal. The floors weren't even grates. In the center of the room however, there was a normal looking television and a VCR. Something clicked into Robin's brain. "The tape!"
Raven looked at the room. The room didn't give her a good feeling. It felt like the life was being sucked out of her. "Whatever you're doing Robin, you better do it fast."
Robin went up to the TV. He took out the tape he acquired earlier. "It didn't work in the normal Silent Hill…maybe it will work here." He put the tape in and pushed play.
The image appeared on the television. At first, it showed a man standing in what appeared to be a forest. "This is so going to rock!"
Next, the video moved to a blond woman. "Hey Crane! Wait up!"
Then the video turned to what appeared to be the operator of the video. Robin instantly recognized him. Bryan. "Tonight, we are going to bring the darkness!"
"Don't be silly!" A female voice, different from the previous one spoke up. "We are just, connecting with the earth spirit and all."
Bryan turned the video on this woman. She was a brunette, gothic chick. Bryan spoke up. "This coming from spooky Abigail!"
"I am not spooky!" Abigail was presumably hitting Bryan since the video started shaking around.
"Hey! Hey! Stop! I'm being attacked!" Bryan said lightheartedly. Afterwards, he chuckled.
Suddenly, there was static, and another scene began, this time, much later. The group, showing three of them at the moment, was all sitting around a campfire. The image was at a slight angle.
The image first focused on Crane. Crane took out a book. "Ready to see if this thing is real?"
"It's probably a bunch of bull!" Yelled by Bryan off camera.
"Hey! Don't knock it until you try it!" Abigail laughed.
"Want to be the one to give blood Morine?" Crane handed her a knife.
"I don't know Crane. I don't feel so good about this." Morine looked at the knife. The camera focused on the knife.
"Don't worry Morine!" Crane said while off camera. "All you need is a drop of blood. No more, no less!"
Morine looked at the knife again. "Okay…I guess there's nothing wrong."
Crane made a symbol on the ground. "Here you go Morine!"
Morine pricked her finger. A drop of blood landed on the circle.
"Hahaha! And so it begins." Abigail enthusiastically voiced.
"Here we go!" Crane began his incantation. "Power of Darkness, demons of the underworld, here my voice…"
The wind picked up. This sent the group onto their feet.
After the group looked around, stunned, they all had a good laugh.
"Scared you did it?" Crane tickled Morine.
"Hahahahahahahah!" Morine wiggled away. "Just get this over with! I want to go back to the motel."
"Maybe for a little pick me up?" Crane grinned. He kissed her with a little force. "Okay…" He continued his incantation. "We have given our offering! Let us acquire the power…"
"Power!" Abigail, Morine, and Bryan yelled back.
"That only you can give us!" Crane yelled. At first, nothing happened.
"Told you it was bull!" Bryan yelled enthusiastically.
"Maybe he isn't done yet." Abigail playfully replied.
What happened next made Robin jump back.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Morine kneeled over from her position.
"Morine!" Crane yelled panicked he held her. He then looked at his hands. Although it was hard to see with the camera shaking everywhere, it appeared that there was blood on his hand. "Oh god!"
"Morine?" Bryan asked with fear in his voice. The camera then shifted all around as voices sounded.
Abigail now sounded scared. "What's happening? What's happening?"
"It can't be real! It can't be?" Bryan yelled as the camera went wild.
"AGHHHHHH! Get off me! Get off me!" Crane was trying to kick what appeared to be a wolf off of him. However, this wolf looked normal compared to the dogs Robin and the Titans have been fighting up to this point.
"This can't be happening." Abigail was now flailing around. "Bryan! Get help!"
The camera continued to shake. "Help? Where?"
"There's a town not far from here in that direction!" Abigail yelled. "Go there! Quick!"
The scene suddenly shifted. Now it was shaking as it showed a darkened pathway. Suddenly, the camera dropped on the floor as we hear the sound of foot pounding on the ground. Suddenly, static, and everything went dark.
The tape ejected from the VCR. "Wrong place at the wrong time." Robin commented at the scene he just saw. He took the tape. Suddenly, he began to feel woozy.
"Robin?" Raven rushed to his side. "Don't worry! I'm going to get you out of this room!"
Robin vision began to get blurry. "We must…get…out…" Everything went black.
Nathan Avenue"Where'd they go!" Beast Boy looked from side to side. "They couldn't have gotten far!"
"Then again, this is a place where monsters literally come out of no where. So anything possible!" Cyborg yelled.
"We must keep searching!" Starfire flew from one area to another. "I won't let another innocent being be hurt!"
Terra scanned the area. She looked in one direction. Another blockage. In the other direction, was darkness. But from her area, it appeared to be free of obstruction. "Cyborg, what is in this direction?"
Cyborg checked the map. "If we continued for a while, we get to a T-section. In one direction, it continues to Paleville. Supposing that they don't want us to leave, we'd have to make a right on Sandford Street. This will lead us into north Silent Hill towards the tourist area. There's a hotel, and an amusement park on the way."
"An amusement park? Here?" Beast Boy rubbed his chin.
"If it is like the rest of the town. Then I would not be amused." Starfire commented.
"Still, it is probably where Isaac went!" Terra looked towards the darkness.
"I hate to say it, but I agree." Cyborg spoke. "At least, I hope it is the case."
"Then we must go to the amusement park and stop the Pyramid Head!" Starfire flew up a bit down the road.
"Okay! Oh, and Star…" Cyborg put her hand on her shoulder. "Be careful!"
Beast Boy walked up to Star. "Yeah. Seemed this town has a thing against you Star."
"I will look out for myself." Starfire nodded.
"Good!" Cyborg took out his sonic cannon. "Guess we should all be heading!" He began to run down the street. "And as always…"
"Stay alert." The other Titans finished.
Alternate Office BuildingRobin was coming to. He looked up and saw Raven.
"Welcome back to the world of the living." Raven grinned. "Sort of."
"Are you okay? You didn't have any problems with monsters did you?" Robin held his head. The headache he was currently having seemed to subside. "Nothing safe here huh? Even a simple room."
"That's right. And no, I didn't have any problems with any monsters." Raven pointed to all the dead monsters. "Oh…" She also pointed to a door. "I think I found where that puzzle was for."
Robin got up. He looked at the metallic door. It seemed quite advanced for what appeared to be a normal, relatively speaking, office building. It had, for one thing, a control panel to the side. He looked at the control panel. There were tons of numbers written next to a keypad. "But what does this have to do with the puzzle?"
Raven walked up next to Robin. "I'm trying to figure that out myself. But the phrase mentioned something about numbers."
"Death to birth." Robin looked at all the numbers. "It goes in one big circle."
Raven thought about this. "Like time? A clock!"
"Then the death to birth thing must mean that I start counter clockwise…but with what number?" Robin looked at all the numbers in the circle. "There are about 30 numbers here. Where do I start?"
Raven looked at the numbers. "Maybe it is like the death to birth thing. From last to first number?"
Robin began examining the numbers. "Maybe. But I see five 9s here."
"Ture." Raven examined the numbers. "But on a keypad, zero is the last number. And there is only one zero."
Robin looked at the numbers again. "You're right. And not only is there only one zero, it is the only number that doesn't repeat. Well, worth a shot." He started punching in the sequence, counter clockwise, starting with the zero. After he finished the sequence, the door clicked opened. He grinned. "After you?"
"Sure thing." She opened the door. Both entered the dark room. The door closed behind them. This sounded an echo that ricocheted on the metal walls. Suddenly, there was a loud click as a light shined from above. In the center of the room was Pyramid Head.
Robin took out his Bo Staff. "Ready Raven?"
"Actually Robin…this is where you get off." Raven grinned at Robin.
"What Raven?" Robin looked at Robin with surprise and suspicion.
"Goodbye!" Raven formed a portal under Robin.
"No Raven, wait!" Robin fell into the portal. "RAAAAAAAAAVVVVVVVVEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNN!" Robin continued to fall down the darkness into parts unknown.
Amusement Park"Isaac!" Cyborg yelled. "Sam? Are you guys here?"
"Isaac!" Starfire yelled. "We're here to stop the evil Pyramid Head!"
Beast Boy sniffed the area in his dog form.
Terra was on a rock and looked from above. "Isaac? Little boy? Where are you!"
Beast Boy looked at the rides in the area. "Man, what a depressing looking amusement park." Suddenly, he sees something move in the corner of his eyes. "Isaac?" His radio began to sound. "Ah man! Can't we ever get a break?"
Cyborg took his sonic cannon out. "I'm ready for…" The monster slammed into Cyborg. This sent Cyborg into the funhouse. Cyborg used his boot to blast the monster back. "I don't think so!" Cyborg used his shotgun to blast the gorilla like monster. The gorilla monster screamed one last time, before falling limp.
"Took care of you!" Cyborg exited the funhouse. "Guys! Need…" He looked around the amusement park. It was no longer the normal amusement park it was just a few second ago. "Guys? Ah man."
-------End of Chapter 10
I am finally done with this new update! This makes five, yes, FIVE updates within the past two-week or so. All while I'm in school! Uh, hehehe. Guess that shouldn't be right.
Anyways, this chapter is actually a little shorter then I planned. I cut a few bits at the end with Cyborg entering the alternate world. Oh, a little change I did to what I originally planned, the number puzzle Robin and Raven solved, I originally saw Cyborg and Robin doing it instead. Same thing with the video revelation. The reason why I changed it was, well, since Robin was with Raven at the time, and I wanted to get the video thing out of the way, I moved that part up. And since Robin was in the alternate world with Raven already, what better place for that particular puzzle to show up but there? Granted, these changes are quite minor in comparison to other stuff. Still, they are changes nonetheless.
So, what will happen to Cyborg? What did Raven do to Robin? And what will happen to Isaac? Find out as the story progresses!
Proofread and revised.
