TheRavenMyth: Though I wish to comfort you fellow FF user, I cannot reveal anything about the story. You will firgive but, your just gonna have to read and find out! MUA HA HA HA HA HA::Looks around and sees poeple staring: Uhhh, yeah...anyway I feel your pain as far as good Ideas taken. No one believes me, not even my own sisters, but I came up with an idea similar to National Treasure months before the trailer came out. When I saw it I was like, "Wow that looks pretty cool...wait a second...THATS MY IDEA!" It doesn't matter though, I think they did a much better job then I would have. And yes I'll miss writing this for yall too, but I have one coming up right after this one that I hope you'll like just as much. Enjoy mua Chapter, LOL.
P.S.- Directions...hmm..yeah...they're really not needed. Its not so much a pride thing, its just aganst the code. Yes us guys are very immature and that's a fact we're very proud of ;)
Realfanficts: Really? You've seen worse? Hmmm, well you'll have to give me an example some time. Because somtimes, you just feel this really ginormous urge to leave off at the worse possible spots.,
Itxprincessxlala: A CRUISE! Man, I wish I had you at our school. Our student council (in all its wisdom) decided that we'd go white water rafting. Sounds good right? It might have been had it not been the time when tempertaures get around the forties during the day. BOY HOWDY THAT WAS FUN! Oh wait, no it wasn't. It didn't help any when us boys were given the basicly car ports with tarps to sleep in. They did have wooden bunks in there and stuff but it still sucked, and of course the girls and Mrs. Slavin got the freaking Ritz cabin up on the hill...grrrrI could go on for hours. Yeah we do have American Eagle around here in the city-like areas. Me I'm in 'Rual Arkansas'. But my Grandma does have a dish so...its pretty sweet. Well I'd like to talk more but I have to hurry up these responses, Stargate is about to come on and I don't like to miss the begining. I'm such a geek. Laters!
Starfirelover: :Smirks: Welllll...okay, as long as your begging.
April4rmH-Town: Well I'm glad you got to read it, and I wouldn't worry about having readers if I were you. As soon as you update, you'll have me. And as for Robin, well you'll just haveto read and find out. Enjoy.
TTHPFan: I'm so sorry about that, but I cannot reveal anything what-so-ever! As much as I'd like to just right paragraphs about what's going to happen I just can't. Its againstthe code (yeah what code --)And thank you, I really didn't intend it to turn out that way but I go caught up inthe moment while I was typingit and that somehow just came out. Its amamzing really, I tuned out everything while typing up that last scene. I looked it over, thought it was good, and decided to keep it.And I'm glad you really liked it, makes my day. No seriously it does. I got to see GoF with my cousins last week andI agree with you totally, it-was-AWESOME! Ithink that one and CoS were theclosest ones to the books so far. I have to say PoA really didn'tdo the bookjustice at all, andthat book being one of my favorite. Oh well, this one more than made up for it. My sister will deffiantly be looking out for PotC 2, she lovedthe first one. And I thought it was pretty good too, until she made us watch it like half a dozen times a day. Any movie will get old afterwatching them that many times. Andhave you sent a letter to CN, becuase apparently our sixth season is in jeapordy. I haven't yetI've been too busy but I'm tyring to. I was thinking though thatanything they left unresolved inthe show (ex: Robin&Starfire, Slade, andthat good stuff) might be dealt with inTeen Titans: Tokyo. I dunno its just a theory. But I would like to see atleast one more season before they close up shop for good. Well, hope you like this chapter. Laters!
I'm sure we've all heard the news about our season six being in trouble, all we can really do is send a letter voicing our opinion and hope they see reason (bunch of nuts). Anyway,thank you for yourreviews and hereeeeesss your Update! Enjoy.
Chapter Twenty-Two
A Titan's Resolve
"The power of my treasure can save him if you act fast, but only when you bring it back to me will I even consider reviving him." Starfire stared at him with pure hatred, she never hated anyone not even their worst enemies. But so far, none of them had ever done anything like this. "You have now moved from an impasse to a decision. Do as I say and Robin will live, or do not and he will be lost forever." Starfire breathed heavily and wiped her eyes for the third time. She joined the others in a huddle and laced her hands together.
"Friends, I rarely ask you of any tremendous favors. But please, I now ask-"
"We're with you Star," said Cyborg confidently. She looked up and received an intrepid nod from each of them. They began to move but saw that Starfire wasn't following them. They looked back and saw transfixed by Robin's motionless form. She then felt Raven's hand slip into hers and give her a consoling squeeze.
"Come on Star, there isn't much time." Starfire sent Osiris one last look of detestation and walked with Raven. And though they were now grimly one short, the Titans entered the lone passageway and faded into the shrouding darkness. Osiris watched them fade away and then bent down beside Robin's body. He set a white rose down on his chest and gave it a few light pats.
"They may place it on your grave when they return." He stood up and cracked his knuckles. "If they return."
--------
Cyborg and his shoulder light lead the way down the narrow hallway they were now in. Starting out they could all fit side by side; soon however the passage grew so thin they were forced to proceed in single file. Beast Boy walked along behind Raven and Starfire behind him with Lee bringing up the rear. The changeling reset his pace and stubbed his foot on a protruding rock.
"OW! Star could you give us a little light back here?" Starfire happily obliged and raised her fist. When no light emanated from her hand she stared at them in astonishment. "Where's that light Star?"
"I don't know, my powers have ceased to function." And this drew everyone's attention. Raven rubbed her hands together and formed a few black sparks, those however soon faded.
"Mine too." Lee and Beast Boy tried theirs but to no avail.
"Something in here seems to be nullifying our powers," observed Lee.
"Yeah and three guesses as to what," quipped Beast Boy.
"Should we keep going," asked Cyborg.
"We have no choice," answered Starfire solemnly. Cyborg looked back at her concerning.
"Are you really sure Star, no starbolts, no flight means no super strength. For all intents and purposes you're pretty much human in here."
"Cyborg I do not believe Robin has so much time for us to debate such matters. Please continue." Semi-reluctant Cyborg turned back forward and resumed his course. They moved along for another ten minuets and emerged into a slightly larger room. IT was darker, gloomier, and if possible more frightening then anything they had yet to see. The walls were lined with tall looming statues that seemed to bear down on them. Starfire gazed around at the intimidating sculptures and black nothingness that was the ceiling.
"What is this place?" She hadn't taken two more steps when her foot stepped down on a small peg in the floor and steadily pushed it down. Her breath caught and she nervously looked down. "Uhhh, friends?" Cyborg looked back again and saw her standing there, horrified to move.
"What is it Star?"
"I think…I might have stepped on something."
"Wasn't me," said Beast Boy. Starfire waved a hand dismissively.
"No, I mean…" She moved her foot aside ad Cyborg walked back up to see the peg slowly rise back up. Raven took one look at it and gulped.
"That is a really bad sign." All around they began to here faint rushes of wind. They all turned and looked about trying to find the source, however the impeding darkness limited their vision. Cyborg clicked on his night vision scanners and saw a long crack in the wall. With a rush of wind he saw something speeding out of it and he moved aside. A giant razor sharp pendulum swung out past him and into another crack on the opposite wall.
"OH MY GOD!" Beast Boy shouted. The rushing sound began to rise again. Lee gripped his sword, trying to keep himself steady. Cyborg's see-in-the-dark eyes spotted not one, two, or even three, but seven pendulums swinging at them from both walls.
"GET BACK!" He pushed Starfire backward and one blade swished between the two. Within seconds all of them were trapped between two swinging pendulums. Cyborg's light did the best it could to provide them with some amount of illumination. Cyborg looked at each of the swinging blades and took to doing some quick math in his head. Starfire stood stock still with her eyes unblinking and her arms stuck to her sides. Cyborg finally added up the last of his calculations and shouted to himself.
"NOW!" He jumped forward just the pendulum in front of him swung past and he was at the door. "ALRIGHT LISTEN UP!" The other Titans looked over at Cyborg past the swinging bringers of death. "I TELL YOU WHEN TO GO, YOU LISTEN. GOT IT?" Not needing to be told twice they all nodded and awaited their instructions. Cyborg gestured to Starfire and she gave him a ready nod. "ALRIGHT STAR, GO……..NOW!" Starfire bolted forward, each time narrowly missing each blade. As she went she steadily began to scream and upon reaching Cyborg ended with a light whimper. "You okay?" She clung to his arm for support and took long steady breaths.
"Must I answer that?" He smirked and looked at Raven.
"RAVEN YOUR NEXT!" Raven gave him an unsure wave and readied herself. "ALRIGHT GO NOW!" Raven sprinted toward him and nearly made it through unscathed but tripped over her own foot and rolled forward. They all held their breath as time seemed to stop. Raven stopped between the last two and recoiled when one faintly moved beside her face. She stood up and it seemed the air it self so close to the blade was sharp as a small trickle of blood moved down her cheek. She wiped it away and timed the last one herself. Now only Beast Boy and Lee remained. Lee passed through the one before him and stood beside Beast Boy. Glad he was no long alone Beast Boy gave Lee a smile of thanks. It faded however when they saw the pendulums behind them beginning to move forward.
"This is bad."
"Indeed."
"YO!" Beast Boy and Lee turned away from the moving blades and Cyborg, Starfire, and Raven. "GET READY TO MOVE!" Beast Boy prepared himself as did Lee. Cyborg took in the fact they the pendulums were now moving and recalculated. He finished and looked back at them. "NOW! MOVE!" Lee grabbed the back of Beast Boy shirt and pulled him forward along with him. The pendulums had begun to crash into one another but the two remaining Titans ran still. Now but a rocks throw away from their friends Beast Boy and Lee jumped forward. The last blade sliced off a piece of Beast Boy shoe and they both landed on the other side. Panting like dogs, the two were helped to their feet and they nodded out of thanks.
"Whew! Well that was fun," said Beast Boy looking back at the ruined mess behind them. "So, anyone have a an extra change of underwear?"
They walked on, encountering next to nothing along the way. They still only had Cyborg's light to show them the way. Lee ran his hand against the wall trying to form his own mental picture of his surroundings. His hand then found a thin hollowed out ledge off the side of the wall.
"Wait just a moment," he said. They stopped and Starfire found another on the other side of the wall. They both felt inside and their fingers came in contact with a watery substance.
"Lee you have found water?" he pulled his fingers out and tasted the liquid. He spat it out immediately and shook his head.
"No, not water. Cyborg…" Cyborg's index finger brought out its mini welding torch and he set the liquid ablaze. The hallway instantly lit up as the fire ran along the ledge. After a few minuets the same fire snaked its way along the wall Starfire stood. They looked around and smiled.
"I can see the light," said Cyborg jocularly. Now glad they no longer had to literally stumble around in the dark they continued on their way. Soon however, they came to a rather large fork in the road. The pathway split into four different directions. Above each passage was a symbol representing a certain god.
"Well that's just fine," said Cyborg. He eyed the split nervously. He turned to them and threw up his arms. "Well! Which way?" Raven narrowed her eyes up at the symbols and pointed to one of them.
"There, that one is the symbol for Amun Ra."
"But friend that one beside it is that of Osiris," said Starfire pointing.
"Well what about Sokar, is that not his insignia?" Lee gestured up at a fiery symbol.
"Dudes lets not forget about Osiris' hubby,' said Beast Boy. He drew their attention to a cat symbol above another passage.
"Osiris claimed it belong to him, should we not assume that it is this way?" Starfire asked already walking toward it.
"Wait, Sokar was the one who helped him make it. Osiris made it partly for Isis, and Ra stole it from Osiris." Raven told the small story while also pointing to each symbol. "There's actually no telling which way it is."
"Then we must take them all," said Starfire resolutely. Beast Boy looked away from the top of the doorway he was looking at.
"Split up?"
"Yes, if we each go one way at least one of us will find it and bring it back so Robin may be saved."
"It is the only way to be sure," agreed Lee.
"I'll go with BB," said Cyborg giving him a hard slap on the back. Beast Boy fell over and upon getting up rubbed his back.
"Thanks, I feel better already." Raven proceeded down Ra's door, Cyborg and Beast Boy through Isis', Starfire made her way down Osiris' passageway, and Lee ventured through Sokar's. The fire lighting her way Raven cautiously walked down the passageway alone. She stepped lightly and warily, not wanting to imitate Starfire's mistake of stepping on any hidden switches. She stared ahead and stumbled forward when the ground dropped a few inches and she stepped into a rocky sand pit. Raven cast a curious look about the spacious sand area. The pale Titan took another few steps then suddenly a sandy hand reached up took hold of her ankle. She gasped in surprise and kicked at it. She broke it apart only to see a large mass of sand and rock form in front of her. She balled up her fists and quite unexpectedly felt sparks of black energy form at her finger tips.
"What?" She gawked down at her hands as she felt her powers returning. "Well this is weird. But cool." She raised her hood and levitated off the sandy ground. The manifested sand monster issued a loud growl and hurled two enormous boulders at the heroine. Her powers caught them in mid air and she redirected them at their sender. The giant rocks flew right through the sandy behemoth. "Azerath Metrion Zinthos!" Lines of energy flew out from her fingers and struck the monster at each of its weak points. It began to fall apart but seemed slightly stronger willed, for it suddenly threw off Raven's assault and blew a cloud of dust at her. She closed her eyes coughing, hacking, and floating back to the ground. Seeing its chance, the monster charged in an attempt to completely maul her. She rubbed the last of the sand out of her eyes and raised her hands just in time to see it pound into her. The monster abandoned its enlarged human form to completely immerse her in the suffocating sand. It then began to grown bigger and bigger until the ever-growing bubble of energy inside it blew to pieces. Raven's eyes calmed and she dusted some stray dust off her shoulder. "I'll bet that hurt." An opening then appeared directly ahead of her and she pressed on.
--------
A green mouse sprinted ahead to make sure no unseen obstacles or unearthly guards caught them off balance. Beast Boy changed back into his generic form and knelt on one knee. He narrowed his eyes, suspicious of the path ahead. Cyborg walked up behind him breathed out a tired sigh.
"Seems like we've been walk'n around like this for hours."
"Maybe we took a wrong turn," suggested Beast Boy.
"Turn? What turns! It's just a long, long, long, tunnel that goes absolutely no where!" Beast Boy stood up and nodded.
"We should've taken Starfire's door." Cyborg hunched over.
"Grrrrr, let's just keep moving." They walked on and on and on and on still. Cyborg glanced up at the wall and his mouth dropped when he saw a knight statuette along where the wall and ceiling met. Beast Boy noticed that he stopped walking and looked back at him.
"What?" He pointed up at the knight.
"There's a statue up there!" Beast Boy arched a brow.
"Sssso?"
"You haven't noticed it?" Beast Boy looked up at it and shook his head.
"I'm not following you Cy." Cyborg shook his head irritably.
"We've passed up that same statue four times already!" Beast Boy cast a perplexed looked from his friend to the medieval sculpture.
"Na ah, no way."
"I'm telling you man it's the same one."
"B-But how, like you said there are no turns. We've just been going in a straight line." Cyborg thought hard for a moment. Beast Boy made a good point, if they hadn't passed by any turns whatsoever how could they be going in circles. Then it hit him. Cyborg tapped furiously on his little arm screen. "What? What is it?"
"My internal pedometer has the ability to take the amount of steps I've taken and then extrapolate a mapped course from the number of feet per second." Beast Boy shifted his eyes about in a mystified way.
"Cy I'm not even going to pretend that I understood what you just said." Cyborg rolled his eyes.
"I think I can find out why were going round and round." The changeling nodded.
"Now see, wasn't that easier to say?" Cyborg glanced back at him peevishly then looked back down at his arm. It counted up the number of steps taken and within moments his arm formed a path that resembled a perfect circle. Beast Boy's mouth dropped.
"But if that's what's been happening where'd the way we come in go. According to your little map here its just one big circle. What's it supposed to mean?" Cyborg ground his teeth and surveyed the knight on the wall. He held a sword before him which closely resembled a cross.
"This guy's armor looks a lot older than anything out of the late middle ages."
"What's your point?" Cyborg snapped his fingers.
"Who was, mythically, the first king of England?" Beast Boy scrunched up his face and shook his head.
"I dunno, King Arthur?"
"YES! Yes that's right, and if unless I've totally lost my mind this big round tunnel is supposed to represent his round table." Beast Boy cast a skeptical gaze up at the knight.
"You do realize just how big of a jump that is don't you?"
"It's all we've got."
"Alright fine, so this the round table; now what?"
"Okay, uhhhh, why did King Arthur have a round table?" Beast Boy smiled and bobbed up and down.
"Oh I remember this one! Raven wouldn't stop going on and on about that time she made me actually read it once." Cyborg beckoned him to get to it. "He had a round table because at a round table there were no betters or lessers, everyone was equal." As if some unseen force had been waiting for one of them to utter that very phrase the tunnel around them shook lightly and they saw a newly lighted path up ahead. Cyborg smiled and gave Beast Boy a brotherly slap on the back.
"Way to go BB."
--------
Splash! Lee's foot stomped down in a puddle of water forcing many little droplets into the air. The sharp point of his sword led the way. He slowly came to a stop when he saw before him what appeared to be a wall made entirely out of water. He walked up to it and his reflection shown perfectly. He then saw his reflection frown back at him and raise its sword. Lee backed away slightly as the mirror image of himself slashed at the water wall. It collapsed and Lee's double was still there and still in a ready position.
"What are you," he asked his counterpart. The imposter remained silent and stood at the ready. Lee began to walk past him and received a blow to the stomach. He doubled over in pain and his double grabbed him by the shoulders and threw him backward. Lee staggered to his feet. He picked up his sword and held it out. "Alright fine! I never thought I'd say this, but I think I may have to kill myself." He leapt up in the air and swung down on himself. His duplicate blacked and threw off the attack with ease. With narrowed eyes Lee attempted his signature combination of swipes and slashes only to have those blocked, dodged, or countered. Fake Lee then dashed forward, going for a head on lunge. Lee slid to the right allowing his double to move past him. In the same instant Lee took advantage of his enemy's awkward position and sliced off his arm. The appendage hit the ground and melted away into a clear liquid. Lee put on a slightly disgusted look. The imposter glanced down at his missing arm and within seconds grew a new one.
"Well that's a neat trick." Now knowing that none of his usual moves were going to get him anywhere against one who knew them inside and out. 'Perhaps a leaf out of Robin-San's book.' He set his sword in a defensive position and invited his enemy to come forward. He did with little hesitation. And before the imposter had a chance to raise its weapon Lee threw his sword forward and it passed straight through its head. It splattered to nothingness and Lee's way was clear. He pulled his sword out of the wall and sheathed it with a note of victory. "Accept no substitutes."
--------
Starfire's hand creeped around the edge of a corner. Her mode of caution had been on the highest ever since she split up with her friends. Without the security of either her powers or Robin for that matter, she felt almost utterly helpless. But she shook that out of her mind. Robin was counting on her, and there was not a soul that would keep her from finding a way to help him. Not a soul. She stepped out into a large open area. Surveying the room that could hold two Giza pyramids, Starfire saw that the rock bridge parted into two separate directions. One way led deeper into the caverns, and one led to what appeared to be…
"ROBIN!" She saw him chained to the wall at the end of bridge. Her mind already made up she began to move forward.
"STAR STOP!" She heard Cyborg's voice and stopped dead. She looked back to see Cyborg, Beast Boy, Raven, and Lee standing behind her.
"Friends? From where have you come?" Raven looked about and shrugged her shoulders.
"Well we don't really know, we all just somehow walked out here." Starfire nodded and promptly turned back to Robin. "Wait Starfire…" She looked back at Raven with incomprehension.
"What? Do you not see Robin, I must save him." She said locking her eyes on him. The rest of the world faded away and could see only him.
"But it's not Robin," said Raven sharply. Starfire stared straight forward at Robin with her back to her friends.
"How can it not be Robin, he is here….I can see him."
"It's just a trick Star! We've all been tested somehow, this is yours. And you need to beat it." Starfire nodded agreeably.
"Indeed I will, by rescuing him." Raven opened her mouth but no words came to her aid. Now starting to question herself Starfire faced Raven. "And how am I being tested?" Raven glanced at Robin then back at Starfire.
"Which would you rather take; the easy way or the right way?" Starfire looked back at Robin's image and sighed.
"You are, of course, right Raven. Forgive me." She hung her head in shame but Raven took her shoulder.
"It doesn't matter Starfire, let's just finish this." Starfire nodded confidently and the two of them led the way forward. The farther they traveled inside this new tunnel system the more ornately decorated it became. They were clearly reaching the end of their long journey. Starfire eyes searched forward for anything resembled what they were searching for. Finally they stopped at the largest set of double doors they had ever laid eyes on. They were without a doubt a strong mahogany but the wood seemed to be perfectly intact, thousands of years of decay didn't appear to have an effect on it. Lee walked up and slid his sword inside his sheath. Beast Boy craned his neck to look all the way up the large barrier.
"This is it guys, we found it!" Starfire smiled down at Beast Boy.
"Yes! Help me." She, Beast Boy, Cyborg, Raven, and Lee all leant forward against the doors and gave them a hard push. They remained in place for a moment, gritting their teeth from the effort. Soon a loud creak from both sets of hinges told them that they had succeeded. The doors parted and they lumbered inside. As if sensing their presence dozens of torches suddenly lit up. Their mouths hit the floor as piles and piles of precious and valuable treasures were illuminated all around them.
"Dudes….do you have any idea how many comic books and game stations that is?"
"One too many," replied Raven. Starfire's astonished eyes traveled along mounds of gold and jewels until she saw it….
"Friends…" They looked in her direction and dead ahead there was a human size Isis statue, made of pearly white marble. One of Isis' hands was at her side while the other was extended outward. Starfire slowly approached it and saw a red crystal laced with gold lining around Isis' hand. "Eye of Osiris," whispered the alien. She reached forward apprehensively. The others stood behind her holding their breaths. Starfire's fingers drew closer and closer to the object until she touched it. She closed her eyes as if bracing herself for a powerful electric shock. Nothing happened. She reopened her eyes with a light gasp.
"Starfire?" Raven stepped forward anxiously. Starfire looked away from the deep red crystal.
"I am fine, just slightly nervous."
"Just be careful," warned Raven. Starfire stretched forth both hands and slowly but surely took hold of the smooth gem and pulled it out of Isis' grasp. She let it lay in one hand while brushing the smooth Osiris symbol etched on its surface. As she held it she thought she heard faint whispering around her, as if spirits destroyed by the Eye were sizing her up.
"Now…" She nodded while turning back to her Titan colleagues. "We must return with it in order to save Robin." They all glanced hesitantly at each other making Starfire feel more than slightly tense. "What?" Raven bit her lip.
"Star, do you really think Osiris is just going to revive Robin right on the spot…just like that," she said snapping her finger emphatically.
"I am unsure, but the alternative is something I simply cannot bear." Raven looked back at the others pleadingly. "Something I will not bear." Starfire's eyes flashed desperately. "Why are you speaking this way Raven?"
"She's only saying that we need to be careful giving this thing to King Tut back there," said Cyborg. "We really have no guarantee that he'll hold up his end of the bargain." Starfire's grip on the eye tightened somewhat.
"You are not suggesting that we not attempt to rescue Robin are you?"
Cyborg shook his head quickly. "No! No that's not what I meant at all," he answered hurriedly.
"Then of what do you speak?"
"What we're saying is that we save Robin, but we try to find another way to go about it. Because between you and me I really don't trust Osiris all that much." Starfire nodded her head in a bothered sort of way.
"Nor do I but I do not see any other way. I will not go against our arrangement seeking an alternative that may not even exist." Raven took a deep breath.
"I don't think that's a decision you can make for Robin." Starfire cradled the eye close to her shielding it from the others.
"I am sorry, but we must give it to Osiris….so that Robin may live." Raven gulped and carefully stuck out her hand.
"Starfire, please give me the Eye." Starfire's eyes grew teary and she shook her head. "Please Star, just put it down and let us find another way." Starfire's mouth trembled and her eyes darted between each of her friends.
"Star-San we are not your enemy," said Lee. He pulled his sheathed sword off his side and gently lay it on the ground. "Remember, we are you friends and allies. We only wish to help."
"Then return with me to do what we must do," said Starfire ardently. Their silence only heightened her anxiety. "You do not wish to come with me, none of you do." Cyborg frowned fretfully.
"Starfire-" He took a step forward and she immediately raised her fist. Her regenerated powers produced a ready starbolt and she backed away. "Whoa Star calm down."
"Its no use Cyborg," whispered Raven. Starfire stared at them wide eyed and nervously shaking. "Her feelings for Robin mixed with…whatever that thing really is is clouding her judgment."
"Do not speak of me as if I am not present!" Starfire spat. "I am hopeful you will simply come with me."
"And we're hopeful that you'll see our point and know that Osiris isn't the only one with fancy tricks." Starfire sighed and nodded.
"Oh Friends…please forgive me." Two beams from her eyes shot out and traced the ground around them. A suffocating blanket of dust rose up allowing Starfire to quickly glide past them. Raven closed her fist and a black energy shield cleared away the dust.
"Come on!" Cyborg, Beast Boy, and Lee followed Raven after their friend. "STARFIRE WAIT!" Starfire meanwhile flew through the tunnels they had left behind and tuned out their voices. As she went Starfire's mind raced with a variety of things. 'Oh I am a bad friend, they will hate me later. But I must save Robin. Do not fear Robin, I am on my way.'
Well after such a long wait I was so sure you all deserved a whopper of a chapter. I would so like to know what you thought and the sooner I know, the sooner I'll update. So we all get what we want. Hope you enjoyed it, Laters!
