Starting the Rebellion
Fifteen years had passed and Nightfire had grown into a fine young teen. He had his Father's eyes and hairstyle, his tone of hair was his mothers and his skin also. His powers were, he could shoot starbolts like his mother but he could not fly. He had inherited his father's martial arts skills and his father's utility belt. He had altered the weapons a bit. He had changed the substances to more powerful ones. Instead of gunpowder he used plasma. But Nightwing had saved the most dangerous weapons he made for emergency cases. They were A-photon charged disk bombs. One of these disks bombs could destroy a whole planet. Starfire took care of Nightfire. Then, when the three were sleeping, they heard the emergency alarm go off they all woke and went to their terraces. They saw billions of small lights in the sky, not stars but something else. They became brighter and brighter until Nightwing could see the shapes of the objects.
"Slade…" Nightwing said grinding his teeth.
"Who is he?" asked Nightfire
"A bad man who wants to conquer the universe." Nightwing said
He looked at his son and then at Starfire, he could see that she was worried about Nightfire, he too was worried. He had decided what he was going to do.
"Star…" Nightwing said
"Yes my love?" she replied
"I want you to get out of Tamaran with Galfore and our son with the T-sub."
"And you Nightwing?" she asked worriedly
"I'm going to hold them off as long as I can to get you some time to escape." He said
"No!" Starfire said
"I have to do this Star, and you know this." He said
Starfire thought for a moment, she wanted to stay here for more time but time was running out. Starfire nodded and took their son by his hand and led him away. Nightwing got his battle armor on and gathered all the soldiers he could and he evacuated all the civilians in the city. All he could get were 40 fighter jets and 100 soldiers and 20 tanks.
"This is going to be too short." Thought Nightwing gravely
The war had started, the jets were off and the fighters with them the tanks fired at the mass of lights. Nightwing could see explosions in the night sky and looked down with disappointment as he saw his jets fall to the ground one by one. He had four royal guards at his side and in his hand, the three A-photon charged disk bombs. As he looked up, he knew that they were defeated. He looked up and saw that a single ship was decending on the surface the ship landed and the door opened. He saw 20 robots come out and after them, Slade and Raven. Raven had not changed a bit but Slade had grown old and weary.
"So… We meet again Robin." Raven said
"It's Nightwing now and I will not let you win this war so easily." Nightwing ordered the four guards to capture Raven, but Raven turned her opened hands into fists and the guard's armors shriveled up and they all died instantly.
"Are you going to kill me Rae?" Nightwing asked
Raven seemed to think and doubt, she lifted her head "Yes." She said lightly
With Raven's flick of a finger, she lifted up the four spears and shot them towards Nightwing. Nightwing blocked two of them but two had hit him, one on his shoulder and one on his left-side chest. They had gone deep and now Nightwing was choking and gasping for breath. He took out the titan's communicator.
In the T-sub there were two royal generals, Starfire, Nightfire, and Galfore. They had buckled themselves in and were now ready for launch when the screen in their front flashed on and they saw Nightwing. They all knew he was dying for he was growing pale and was trembling. Nightwing saw all the faces on the ship with his communicator first, he talked to the generals.
"Keep my wife, child, and my nanny-in-law safe, and protect them with your life." Nightwing said
"Yes my liege." They both said
Their screen turned off. Now to Galfore
"Galfore, I hope you would keep Star and my boy safe and be my boy's new nanny."
"I shall" Galfore replied sadly.
His screen turned off.
"Son, I hope you remember me and protect your mother if she is in trouble. And also, if you ever come to face with a person called Raven, defend yourself but try to reason with her for she was once our friend."
"Yes father." Nightfire said with a trembling voice
His screen turned off.
"Star…."
Nightwing could see that Starfire's eyes were filled with tears of grief and anguish.
"It's all right Star, this had to happen someday."
"Yes my love….." She sobbed
"Star…."
"Yes…Robin?"
Nightwing pulled his mask off. Starfire could see his crystal-clear sapphire eyes were full of tears. She touched the screen wanting to touch the real person but she couldn't. She clapped her hands over her face.
"Star, I always have and always will love you, please remember that." He said
"I love you Robin."
"I love you Star…"
Starfire saw him put his mask on and stand up weakly. Raven tried to take the communicator with her powers but Nightwing help on firm to it.
"No! You will never find them! I swear it!" Nightwing shouted angrily
Raven had never seen him this angry, she knew that he was the kind of person who would do ANYTHING to protect a person from getting harmed, especially his wife and kid, but she hadn't expected this strong of a frenzy from him..
Nightwing looked back at his communicator. Starfire was still on the screen.
"I'm sorry." He said
Before she could say anything, Nightwing hit the communicator destroying it immediately. Then, he turned on the timing on the disk bombs to 5 seconds. He threw one to the main ship and shot two to the sky with his newly-made disk-gun. All three exploded at the same time. Nightwing had a flashback of his life, he saw his family, the joker, and batman, and his friends. Beastboy, Cyborg, Raven, and Starfire, and the other titans and his son Nightfire then, blank.
The T-sub was already out of the planet and was almost 5 moons away from Tamaran when they suddenly heard three huge bangs coming from the planet. They were blinded by the light of the explosion when they could see, they were shocked. The whole planet had been blown away and turned into a field of asteroids.
"ROBIN!" Starfire sobbed.
Raven was in a little asteroid, she had blocked the blast with her power and with her were Slade and their main ship.
"He did do pretty much damage." Raven said as she looked around
"How much damage?" Slade asked
"He almost annihilated our entire army."
"Almost our entire army!" Slade cried out
"Yes."
Slade looked stunned, all his life's work all destroyed by one person. Now that he was weary and couldn't do much he was now doubted. Raven sought out this chance and made Slade follow her. She led him to a small chamber and there, killed him. Now she was the leader of the invasion. Not armies of robots, but something else, an army of her own. She started meditating, summoning up the servants of her father. One by one they appeared bowing their heads to Raven for she was their new master now. They rallied up and when Raven gave the order, flew off to conquer the closest planet.
The T-sub went on through space, stopping at a few planets until they came to the farthest planet in the galaxy. The crew was tired and weary, they landed. Galfore, Nightwing and the generals stepped out and Starfire flew out to a nearby hill and just stood there, gazing at the far out space trying to find out if Nightwing had survived. Tears fell down onto the dusty soil wetting the surface. Nightwing ran up next to her on the hill. He hugged her and her him. They mourned for their heroic husband/father. The crew settled down on a nearby cave and rid the cold with their powers. Then, they went to sleep.
Starfire had the most vivid dream that night. When she opened her eyes, she saw herself sitting on a familiar couch in a familiar place, she saw no one when suddenly she felt a hand touch her shoulder behind her. It was Robin.
"R-Robin?" Starfire asked disbelievingly "Did you survive?"
"No Star, I died on Tamaran trying to protect you and our son." Robin said sadly
"But how come you are here then?" Starfire asked
"Do you know where this place is?" Robin asked smiling
Starfire looked around to see the room she was in, then she realized.
"The tower!" She said joyfully
"Yes Star, we're all inside you. Your memories, your dreams, your heart."
Starfire stared lovingly at her bold husband.
"Remember Star, Remember." Robin said.
Starfire woke. She saw her son huddled closely to her, she thought about their future and now, she decided to start the war. She woke the crew up and got them on the ship. They flew off to the closest inhabited planet to find Val-Yor's enemies there, the Locrix.
Ever since they had been defeated, they had upgraded themselves and were more powerful now. Starfire went up to their leader.
"Do you speak?" Starfire asked
Fortunately, he was much more intelligent than the rest and could speak in various languages. "Yes." He looked at her closely. "And what would bring a Tamaranian and her people here?"
"War." Starfire said
"Did you come here to declare war?" it asked
"No, the war has already started…." Starfire told him of all the incidents that had happened and the Locrix leader was surprised to hear such a thing.
"So, I have come here to ask you to join the rebellion." Starfire said
The leader thought for a moment and then, looked at Starfire.
"We, the Locrix usually do not get involved in these things, but because it seems so terrible, we will join."
Starfire looked glad.
"Now, we must get all of your people off this planet and go to Ranx-1 quickly."
"But why?" the leader asked in confusion
"Because, it will not be long before the army gets here." Starfire said
"Very well." The leader commanded all the Locrix soldiers to get on their warships for they were going into battle.
Starfire was just standing there when she saw sixty or maybe fifty Tamaranians in the plaza. She was delighted to see them and rushed up to them. They bowed instantly. They all went back to Ranx-1 and built their bases there. They were going well when a scout had spotted a ship coming this way. The Locrix and the Tamaranians went to the spot to find a landed space ship. Its hatch opened and a familiar figure stepped out. It was Val-Yor.
"What are you doing here?" Starfire asked
"Oh, so you are here also." Val-Yor said with a tone of voice that sounded humble.
"Yes, and now I pray you will answer the question."
"Oh, let me think, I'm being chased by some weird robotic army that came from YOUR planet and which destroyed MY planet and now I'm stranded here with a bunch of tamaranian toq!." He said
"How dare you!" Starfire said with fury in her voice
"Oh, what are you going to do to me? Shoot your little starbolts at me?"
The moment he said that all the cloaked Locrix soldiers appeared.
"Oh, so now you have joined them?" he said
"Actually no, they joined us." Said a young-male voice
Nightfire stepped up.
"And who might this be?" Val-Yor asked
"It is my son, Nightfire." Starfire said
"So, you have a son eh? And who is the father? Another toq?" he said with enthusiasm
"No, you already know his father." She said
"I KNOW a TAMARANIAN?" he said
"He was not a tamaranian." Starfire added
Val-Yor seemed to be confused, "Then who…" Something that Nightfire had caught Val-Yor's attention, it was Robin's utility belt "Oh, so HE is your father."
Val-Yor seemed to like Nightwing. "So, let's see what kind of tricks you can do." He said
He fired two red raybeams from his eyes and Nightfire dodged them with his acrobatic skills. Starfire looked worriedly at her son. Nightfire readied two blue starbolts and shot them at Val-Yor. Val-Yor sighed.
"The same weak powers." He whispered disappointedly
But what Val-Yor did not realize were the mentally-controlled plasma disk bombs inside the starbolts. Nightwing directed the disk bomb mentally to go to Val-Yor the disks flew towards where he wanted, then, when the bombs were close enough he directed them to the ground right behind Val-Yor. The bombs exploded and Val-Yor flew towards their side by the force. Val-Yor seemed to be surprised.
"Not bad at all." He said standing up he went up to Nightfire and patted him on the head. But just then, Nightfire was stunned, in place of the hero, was a fearful demon made entirely out of lava and fire. Nightfire was so stunned that he punched Val-Yor right in the face. Starfire looked stunned but a little grin was on her face also.
"What have you done?" asked Starfire angrily
"I-I" Nightfire stopped and was paralyzed at what he saw, it was the demon he had saw earlier. It was struggling to get up when Starfire shot a starbolt at it and killed it.
"This might be much harder than I think." She said
