Hey! Guys…
…
Guess what? I'm in that void again!
Yeah, pretty stupid huh! I mean; we're ALL in the void aren't we…
…
I mean…
We're all here…
Aren't we…?
…
You should have seen it guys! Man! I showed them whose boss! Really surprised myself. Really had some close calls! How did you go?
Where are you anyway?
…
Come on! This isn't funny guys! Come on Titans!
Okay! Ha-ha! I give up! Where are you?
Please…
Heh… I just managed to see who you were up against before I blacked out… I wish I could have seen it…
You would have liked to see Icarus flying around CY, sort of like some final fantasy game. Bet I could beat your high score of 6hrs! They went like toothpicks in a lawnmower… So cool! Beat Grievous too… Beastboy would've loved to see that!
And Pakkrat and Rich BB, they were the last ones, but they were out pretty quick. I think you softened them up for me too. Thanks…
Shadow was pretty scary with his magic, but I got him Rae… Just needed a little light. You did great as well… I think I could see your light while of unconscious… just… a little hope…
Star! I got Synn! She was… um… still there when I woke up, so I guess she beat you pretty hard?
You okay?
She got pretty wasted…
Bet that got some reviews…
…
GUYS!
DON'T LEAVE ME HERE!
REMEMBER?
WHEN WE'RE ALONE WE'RE REALLY LOST!
DID YOU REMEMBER WHO SAID THAT?
…
Um… I think it was me… my bad…
…
Guys…
If you're not out there…
Out here or somewhere else…
And I count to ten, I'm going to have to assume you were killed… right?
…
Okay… one…
Two...
Three…
Four…
F… five…
…
Six…
…
Seven…
…
Eight…
…
Nine…
…
Nine…
…
N… Nine…
…
…
Ten…?
…
…
This isn't funny guys… I mean, come on! I won right! You can't just go! You can't just be here one time, than vanish into nothing the next… forever… I mean death… Doing so much, then simply not doing at all… I don't believe in it…
Hey! Isn't this is where we all go back in the tower and have some pizzas or something? I'm hungry! Who's up for pizza? I know you do Cyborg! Well?
…
This is just starting to annoy me now! Just come out where ever you are! You don't have to be embarrassed that you lost or anything! We're friends… W… We… We were friends…
…
H… Hey writer!
Hello?
You readers too! I would never, ever, forget you! Thanks for all the help back there! You really made the difference!
I know you can probably hear me, see me and imagine me right now so… um
I know you're up there! Um… Can you see them?
I mean… you probably know where they are right… I won't tell them, just let me sneak up on them wherever they're hiding… Please…?
…
Hey! I survived! I defeated the Kaizer! I stuck to the good side and I won! Good won! Jump for joy and all that!
Didn't it?
…
I mean; what else could I do? What else can you expect from me? What can I do now? The game is finished! The game is finished isn't it? The story is over! Time for the happy stuff! The, well, happy ending… 'Happily ever after' and all that stuff… You know… It's tradition…
…
Where could they be?
…
That's what heroes are meant to get! Reward for everything they do! I don't really want the riches and stuff, but just some sort of holiday or something… some getaway from the violence and hate and evil… and death… something that can help heal everything back…
…
I want my friends…
They were there… here when we were lost…
They helped me out when I was lost…
They fought for you, you know that? Not just for the writer, but for you guys as well…
That's what kept us going…
That's what… is… keeping me going… heh…
Crazy isn't it?
…
I mean… I'm pretty much talking to myself! Here… alone… Crazy…
The writer is talking to himself by making me talk to myself to you… to everyone… Crazy…
…
Hey Star! Remember that crazy story where…?
…
Yeah… Ha-ha guys! Still hiding huh? Still want to surprise your pal?
…
Cyborg? Beastboy? Raven? Starfire?
Hello?
Superman? Goku?
Joker?
Shekron? Pakkrat?
Spiderman?Wolverine?
Trigon?
Bond? James Bond?
Inuyasha?
Batman? Robin?
…
Ha! That's me! Stupid! Really stupid! Pretty crazy!
…
Icarus? No hard feeling right?
Sister okay?
Shadow? Got a light? Ha! Just kidding!
Rich? Sorry about before…
Grievous? How's the movie? Haven't seen it yet! Heard you're pretty good! See it as soon as we get back home…
Anyone?
…
Someone?
…
…
Mom?
…
Dad?
…
"I… I'm lost… help me… I… I don't know where I am… I can't see you… can you hear me? Can you see me?… I… I'm by myself… alone…
And I don't know where I am…"
…
I don't want to be alone here…
Not while… everyone is somewhere else… without me…
…Or me…
…Without them…
…
…
So?
So what are you staring at?
What if this isn't how I'm meant to be?
Too far out of my character for you? Not my personality?
Why?
What's wrong with crying?
Everyone should be able to cry…
…
… no-one should have to cry…
…
…
If you can't cry, then there's something wrong with you, do you know that?… I mean…
…Really…
…
I can show anger… love… well that pretty much sums it up, but… Sorrow just sort of goes between when you're confused…
…
So can I cry now?
I'm confused aren't I? I'm real aren't I? I can cry now that I'm lost…
I mean… you guys are probably dead… I mean, not the writers or readers, but the guys. You've heard of them. Teen Titans! When there's trouble you know who to call?
…
Dead…?
…
This is just a bad dream… a really bad dream…
As soon as I open my eyes they'll be there… you'll see…
…
Cyborg is busy fixing his T-car after a little scuffle with Gizmo. BB is waving over to Robin for a game of Race Racers. Raven is floating and meditating in the air with her MP4 player, and Starfire is busy preparing some more Tamarean Tofu… But he guessed it was the thought that counts…
…
A dream…
It was all just a distant memory…
He was still alone as the memory faded…
…
I'm still alone…?
…
Nah!
That's impossible!
They're heroes! I mean; isn't there a law against killing heroes?
They do everything with all their heart and soul, just so others can live… just so others can be entertained…
To save lives and give live entertainment… until their own lives are spent in pain…
It just doesn't seem fair to kill heroes… Do you think so?
Do I think…? I know who I am don't I?
…
…
No… They're not dead! They can't be dead! I wanted to save them! I wanted to ride in the car asking 'are we there yet' then watching a good movie where Starfire falls asleep on my shoulder and Raven shoulder's Beastboy out the window and Cyborg just laughs at us… I want to spend a day at the beach… How often do we get to spend a day at the beach? I think we'd have liked that! Starfire could taste the water, Beastboy can do his fish expressions without suffocating, Raven can get a tan and Cyborg can rust up… I mean… How often do we get to spend a day at the beach?
There are just so many things I'd still like to do with them… so many places to see, so many games to play, so much time ahead of us forever that it hardly seems fair that it should just cut off… just like that… before we can do the stuff together… spending time with those that mattered most…
…doesn't time care?
…
…
Guess not…
…
Guess that's why they say 'so much to do so little time'?
Wish I could have had more time and little to do…
At least with my friends…
…
Crazy… I fought for my friends. Countless times… I save them every story and they still manage to get into dire situations time and again… pretty pathetic isn't it… But I don't mind… I'm always ready; as a friend in need…
I never minded… I… I was always ready…
Except this time…
…
Robin cried…
…
But if they're dead, what can I do?
What happens now that Shekron has killed everyone in this realm?
I can't really multiply on the face of the earth can I?
Not with millions of Robins!
…
Was this all some sick joke?
Just a game to play… pressing buttons so I move around and you can go 'ha-ha, he's moving'?
Did I deserve this?
…
