Unfortunately, after these next two chapters, this story will be ended. But, if you want me too, I'll make a sequel. Oh, and in case you didn't know, one of the meanings to the word fanfare is salute, which is what the fanfare in this chapter title means. Now, on with the chapter!

Disclaimer: I own no Teen Titans. Nor do I own the Hadouken that belongs to Capcom.

Chapter IV: Soul Eraser: Final Fanfare

Sirus floated through the city, flipping cars and animals while blasting humans and buildings, trying to lure the Titans into his trap. "Titans, Go!"

"So you've come…"

"Who are you?" Robin asked.

"Sirus. Sirus Dragonheart, greatest sorcerer on the face of the earth! And soon, Slade and I will have complete control over this city, and this world." The six titans attempted to hurt the sorcerer, but black flames blocked their attacks. "Foolish humans… fighting is useless! It's pure power that matters!" Sirus punched the air once before doing an uppercut. Soon, flaming fists shot out of his hands and attacked Cyborg and Robin with the same moves. "Hadouken!" A large beam of continuous purple energy attacked four Titans, leaving Terra and Beastboy conscious.

"Huh?" Beastboy wondered why Sirus had stopped. Sirus grinned.

"Slade has plans for you two…"

"But I no longer have plans for you." Slade walked from an alley and grabbed Sirus by the throat. "Back to your own dimension, Sirus."

"You'll… regret this… Slade!" Sirus faded away. The ground exploded and the two found themselves in the cave where Terra once was, which had been totally transformed. "Look Familiar, Terra? This is where I've been hiding this whole time. You Titans had no idea that the whole time, I was right under your noses." The ground was recreated and it became dark. "As I told my associates… one by one, the titans shall fall!" Slade kicked Beastboy into a wall and grabbed Terra. "Child, you don't know how much trouble you've caused me."

"You think I care?" She asked. She attempted to launch a rock at Slade, but with no success. "They're fake, Terra." Slade threw Terra against a wall and repeatedly kicked her and punched her back down when she tried to get up. "It's over!" Terra tried to punch Slade, but her hand was caught. Slade threw her into some hardened magma, which she launched at Slade. "Beastboy could only watch as Terra was beat down again and again by Slade.

"AAAHHH!" She screamed.

"Terra!" There was no answer. "No! Not again… I won't lose her again!" Slade laughed.

"Move on, Beastboy! She's gone, and you're going with her!" Beastboy began to cry. "You're weak, and you always will be!"

"NO!" Beastboy punched into a wall. Beastboy morphed into a large ape and roared at Slade, mixed feelings anger and sadness was clear in his roar. He picked Slade up and threw him into the large screen on the wall east of him. Beastboy roared again before punching Slade's mask with all his force, making it collapse. Slade took off the mask and ripped the screen out of the wall and hurled it towards Beastboy (Slade's stronger than he looks). "I'll never give up!" Beastboy said, forced into human form.

"That's what's wrong with you, child. You always cling on to your past; you always stay in the time you felt most happy in, always wanting what was lost to return to you. You live in a fantasy world, what you want can never be. If I didn't know better, I'd say you're changing this world yourself, and I'm here to stop you from changing it to you're liking. But that's crazy; you're just a plain old kid who can't make a difference, no matter how hard he tries! You are a failure!"

"Shut-up!" Beastboy was now the mighty T-rex, and he grabbed Slade with his hundreds of sharp teeth.

"You'll have to do better then that!" A bomb exploded on Slade's belt, but Slade was unharmed. "I can withstand most anything you can deal out." Beastboy screamed in pain. Slade took this opportunity to kick Beastboy into the west wall, shaking it. "Give up?" Beastboy was silent. Slade walked up towards Beastboy.

"You wish." Beastboy kicked Slade high into the air before punching his face several times. "I'll never give up! I'll never leave the side of my friends! I'll never let go of my hope! I'm not like you Slade, I'll never be your puppet! You got to Robin… you got to Terra, but you'll never get to me!" Terra woke up, and saw Slade beat Beastboy to the ground.

"Pathetic." Slade said. Terra then noticed the large stalactite above Slade and hurled it downward as Beastboy kicked Slade on his back, directly under the sharp rock. "AAAHHH!" Slade screamed and everything went silent.

"Terra!" Beastboy ran towards his friend, tears in his eyes. "You're alive…"

"Is it over…?" She asked.

"Yes… its over." Beastboy and Terra hugged. "Maybe its over for good… if Slade was able to pull things from other dimensions… then maybe with him gone, we won't have to fight anymore… … I'm really hoping that's the case… because then, maybe we can finally spend time together…" The two looked each other in the eyes and kissed.
