Together
Beast Boy teetered from one foot to the other then toppled to the earth. Terra dived forward and knelt at his side feeling at the point on his neck where the collar had once clung. There was no scar, not even the slightest indentation was left to indicate the presence of the collar that once clung to his green skin. Though blood, his blood, was now mingling with that of the dead soldiers in the sand of the road. Type B raised two glowing fists toward the shocked General sprawled out and bleeding on the hood of a wrecked armored car.
"Now it is your turn to suffer Hunter!" the stunned face looked up from the boy on the ground to his former ward,
"I must say… I am very impressed. Such a feat of pure will I did not think possible, but the proof of the act lies at my feet." He gestured down at the discarded collar. "But in the end it only serves to prolong the inevitable, I suppose."
"I've long since grown tired of your incessant sermonizing, you die now and it prolongs nothing!" the shock faded and the smirk grew on the injured mans withered face,
"Then there nothing left to do then to cut my losses, and tie up you loose ends." A thundering instantly grew from the forest sprawled out aside each side of the road, as if the entire forest was racked in a death moan. Type B's hands dropped as a sea of blades materialized from the shadows under the canopies.
"You did not think I would risk this outing with out subsistent force did you?" Hunter raised his hands into the air like a composer at the head of a symphony as the metal spider's ring constricted closer. "The instruments formed for you destruction are here. The learning ability of Torrent, the skill of Robin, the strength of Starfire, the adaptability of Beast Boy, the technology of Cyborg. They have wiped the state clean of your kind and they will cut through you like paper. My creatures are blanketing the world finding and killing any that defy my will. You may have opposed my grasp for long enough, the others have fallen into submission. Even your leader, Robin, sits at the head of a legion of spiders to the north, but you three now face the army of a thousand blades captained by one of my genetic children." From the mass of sharp metal surrounding Terra, Type B and Beast Boy stepped a young boy who Terra had seen but once before.
His large collar covered his mouth and his eyes where blacker then bile. Terra gasped, it was the assassin that had attempted to kill her back at the underground lab. Ann had blown the circuit inside of his head and he had left. Ann saw that he now had a simple control disk implanted in his chest. Hunter must have recaptured the boy and place him under his thumb once again.
Type B's trust her hands downward violently and pushed the gravel at her feet outward with incredible force. The spiders raised their blade like arms to cover the glass of their single eyes from the speeding pebbles scratching the surface of their armor. John, the assassin, stood unmoving as the sharp rock bounced harmlessly off his hard skin. Following the burning rain of stone came a blinding cloud of dust and sand. Type B twirled her hands about her like a dancer upon a stage of earth and the cloud became a hurricane, rising into the air and consuming the army about them. At the eye of this cyclone stood the three adolescences protected by the ever moving walls encircling them. Type B turned and yelled back at her counter part crouching next to their love,
"Get him quickly, we can't win here!" The sound of her voice barely rose above the thundering of the winds about them, but Terra caught them.
With the few moments they had Terra quickly bent and took Beast Boy into her arms, she attempted to lift him in her arms but strained futilely. Unwillingly Beast Boys had condensed and increased greatly in weight. Terra could not tell exactly, but his body had increased in weight by over ten fold. Unable to move Beast Boy the option of flight instantly became impossible, Terra could not even move the earth that he rested on. Type B glanced back at Terra and Beast Boy,
"What's the…" The dark form of John leapt from through the curtain of sand and struck Type B across the jaw knocking her flat. The moment she struck the ground the protective whirlwind died away and the dust and gravel fell back to whence it came.
There was a pause as John stood over Type B while the mist of the dirt still hanging in the air settled slowly down. The spiders stood with their arms raised just as they had been when the cyclone began, then in unison every machine dropped its arms and shook the dust from its body. The ominous sound of the harmonious movement echoed in Terra ears sending a shiver down her spine. Type B groaned and attempted to stand, but John brought his foot down on her neck, pinning her painfully to the road. He drew the knife from his sheath and held it over her eyes. The orange disk in his chest pulsed and the knife began to slowly descend toward closer to Type B's pupil.
A rock about the size of a minivan slammed into John's face, knocking him from atop of Type B and sending him far into the distance. Terra's eyes burned yellow and her first smoldered with the glow of power as she stood defensively over the fallen Beast Boy. Shocked but relived Type B staged to her feet, she was about to thank Terra when a blur of movement caused her to turn. A spider hung inches away from her face in mid air when a spike of earth erupted from the ground and impaled it upon its self like a crucified criminal set out on display. The blade that was its arm still out stretched the spider twitched slightly as the light in its eyes faded away. Type B had only the time to turn when the others pounced. She twitched her hands upward in quick repartition bringing up spikes of her own to catch the automations in-flight. Others began to dash forward closely to the ground, Terra pushed her palm forward like a shove and summoned up a like of spear like rock shards to skewer the rushing machines. Attempting to adapt to the problem the spiders grew their legs outward to jump over the walls of spines erected in their path. As they hung in the air Type B pulled hundreds of small sharp stones from the rock around her and flung them into the air like a volley from a million archers, the spiders degenerated in the blur of passing missiles. So Terra and Type B fought on ripping at metal with stone as the ever advancing horde drew closer. It was not long until they where forced back to back still fighting the waves from the army of a thousand blades.
The exposed skin on Type B's back touched that of Terra's, when their flesh came in contact with one another a white light sparked between them and illuminated the battle field. Terra and Type B screamed as they felt their flesh being pulled into their sister's body. Then the orange disk on Type B's chest pulsed and the light died away. A mix of pain and distress pulled conciseness from the girls minds and they fell as the spiders closed in.
In this moment two things happened, Beast Boy opened his eyes and he saw his loves falling under the waves of Hunters spiders. Then that something that held back the animal with in him stepped aside to let the vengeful anger flow free.
