"Are we there yet?" Flame asked, annoyed at the long flight from Tamaran.
"Not yet, blue boy." Blaze replied, glancing at his brother. Transformations were always so weird…
"Are you sure this will work?"
"No, but Flare is already on Earth, so this is our best bet."
"If you say so…"

Mel watched in shock as the doors and windows all bolted shut. On the front screen, camera views from the Tower's security system popped up.
"We're surrounded!" Flare yelled, dropping her pizza.
"Don't worry. I've put the Tower in lockdown." Star informed them.
"Will that stop them?" Star shook her head sadly.
"Probably not. But it will definitely slow them down."

"It's like he's teasing us!" Cyborg shouted to his leader over the explosion. Robin nodded. Something wasn't right. His thoughts were broken as his communicator went off.

"You guys ok?" Star nodded.
"For now."
"Ok, hold on. We're coming."

The screen went blank.
"So what now?" Emily asked. "What do we do til they get here?"
"Survive." The Titans replied as another attack shook the Tower.
"I hope they get here soon…"
"It's ok. As long as they're outside we're safe."
"Star? I can fight if you need me." Star smiled at her sister.
"Let's just hope it doesn't come to that…"
"Star?" Melissa started, "You might want to see this…" Quickly, Star went to see what was worrying her friends.
"What is it?" Vandy asked. Star swallowed hard, fear starting to well up inside her.
