Inspiration

Sorry I've been on vacation…to Scotland for the past week but I've got this idea…Hope you enjoy this chapter…this is my first fight scene…well real first scene that I tried at so if you can tell me what's wrong with it, appreciate it…also if you have questions I might answer them-Lord of the files

A Star shinning above

Glowing on this soul

What is this feeling?

Is it love?

The drum that beats and beats

At a regular beat

Beats faster

But then retreats?

Is it Love?

I riddle you this

For I do not know

Follow me into the cove

The sheet of paper is then ripped into pieces leaving a disgruntled Beast boy.

'That's just corny,' he thought desperately.

It's been three day's since he got this guitar and he's getting quite good, but it's cost him something. Ever since he got this guitar all he can dream about is Starfire and it's getting annoying. He can only milk that it's Terra for so long before they become aware that his piercing cry in the night is actually a guitar. The worst thing is that he's afraid that someone might think that he like's her and he doesn't. Well he's pretty sure that he doesn't.

He's interrupted from continuing the thought when the alarm goes off.

'All right some bad guy he can vent his frustration of the lyrics and such at,' Beast boy thought ecstatically.

The Team formed around the war room while they are being briefed on who it is.

"Ok it's HIVE and right now they have separated and are going two ways," Robin said before getting a pointer and pointing to a enlarged map of the city "Mammoth is going south into the docks. Beast boy, Star you take him down and the rest of us will take down Gizmo and Jinx…agreed?"

Beast boy was tempted to give him a salute, but he decided to save the joke for latter.

"Ok, Titan's go!"

Beast boy mentally groaned in his head as they ran out like a herd towards the exit thinking, 'Titan's go! It used the enemy off but now it could be used against them'.

Flying was Beast boy's favorite thing to do at a time…but right now it was (and he was guessing by how dark it was) about ten o'clock and about fifty degrees Fahrenheit, but with the wind chill (the wind was gusting at about twenty mph up in the air) felt about ten degrees. Star looked like she was having a ball and sometimes barrel rolled in the air. Shaking his bird head they continued towards the dock and got there as soon Mammoth started to tackle his way through the 'gate'. He put gate in quotation marks, because a gate was supposed to keep people out, but the gate was like a ribbon to a runner.

After shaking off the ribbon he had a smile of pure delinquent glee and then spotting the two Titan's said, "Don't stand a chance".

Beast boy then did in feigned horror said to Star, "We better run now, he's so scary".

Star giggled at his comment and then turned her fists into starbolts saying, "Shall we dispose of the adversary?"

"Sounds good," Beast boy said before charging in as a Rhino.

Beast boy didn't get to far as Mammoth appeared to be on steroids this time and lifted Beast boy and tried to throw him. Star then came from his rear and pelted him with starbolts. Using this as a distraction Beast boy turned into a whale, squishing Mammoth. He then turned back to normal and saw that Mammoth just shook the blow off and then charged at Beast boy. Beast boy then waited till the last moment before turning into a mouse and making Mammoth charge straight into a building collapsing it.

Starfire floated next to Beast boy and asked, "Is he defeated?"

When Mammoth erupted from the dormant rocks like St. Helens, Beast boy said, "Nope".

Mammoth had a grin of pure feral glee and roared at them like a caged lion, before charging at them. Side stepping like a bullfighter, the bull bulldozed past them and collapsed another building over him. After several minutes of Mammoth not getting up Starfire floated towards the debris.

"Star no!" Beast boy yelled, but it was to late.

A fist came from out of the pile and struck her in the face propelling her towards another building, and when the building collapsed Beast boy felt something in him.

"One down, a half to go," Mammoth said lumbering out of the pile.

Beast boy quickly sprinted towards the building and saw Starfire on the pile. It looked to him as if she was just sitting down but her eyes weren't open. Beast boy could hear the heavy footsteps coming from behind him and the strained breathing in front of him and he could hear his own heart beating.

Beast boy turned around and gave Mammoth a glare that stopped him for a moment before Mammoth grinned and said, "What are you going to do about it?"

Roaring like Mammoth did a while a go, he sprinted at Mammoth.

"Come on', I'm ready for you!" Mammoth said spreading his arms out to absorb the impact.

Stupid mistake.

Beast boy changed into a huge wolf, and pounced on Mammoth aiming for his jugular.

"Get off me, GET OFF ME!" Mammoth was wrestling with the animal that has its jaws around his throat. Hitting the wolf with all his strength on its side just made the grip a little harder. Trying to pull the jaws off him almost crushed his throat, and after that he fainted.

Beast boy holding on for a moment longer let go of the throat and spitting out a coppery taste in his mouth, 'Ewwww…blood taste's horrible'.

After a couple of minutes of spitting the stuff out and then wiping his mouth of with his arm, then covering his arm with his shirt sleeve. He then decided to see if Mammoth was ok.

'Good thing he has a lot of muscle around his neck of I could have killed him. But he knew what he was doing, he wouldn't have tried that stunt else where he just knew that Mammoth neck could with stand the blow,' of course Beast boy kept repeating this to himself as he wrapped Mammoth in…what ever he could find. Robe, Iron, Railing all of it was used and he just kept repeating to himself that there was no other way.

Starfire groaned a little and Beast boy quickly ran over to her.

Beast boy smiled a bit as he saw her eyes focused and unfocused, "Robin?" she said what he thought was hopefully.

For some reason Beast boy's heart was hurting and there was a weird felling in his stomach.

"No it's just me, Beast boy, Star," Beast boy hoped was his normal tone.

"Is something the matter friend Beast boy," and after a moment of silence "and what of Mammoth?"

"He's taken care of, don't worry about him".

"That is glorious, let us celebrate with the anthem of Victory!"

"That's alright Star, lets just call the rest of the Titan's".

Starfire noticed his dejected tone, "What is the matter friend…will you not tell me?"

"It's nothing Star," Beast boy said as cheerful as he could.

To Star it sounded like something wrong was going on but decided that he will tell his pains when the time is right.

Beast boy then noticed her injuries, she was cut all over from rocks and her left arm was just a bruise.

But that wasn't the worst part.

Where the fist hit was the worst part. The nose was broken and he could see that she couldn't tell that it was, she had a bruise that looked like it started as a black eye and spread over right eye and then over right cheek. But her eye's still shined and he thought that she was beautiful…bruises and all.

A voice stopped his examinations, "Star, Beast boy have you stopped Mammoth?"

Beast boy picked up his communicator and tried to sound as happy as he could and said, "Yeah he's here at the docks…Star is injured so I'm going back to the tower to get her to an infirmary bed".

"Roger that Raven will be there to help heal the wounds…in maybe a half hour".

"Okay dokey, Beast boy out," Beast boy then turned into a giant bird and motioned for Star to hold on to his neck. She complied after he turned back and told her he would become the animal of her choice to keep her company in the infirmary.

After about of ten minutes they got to the infirmary and Beast boy took Starfire to her bed.

Starfire started the talking by asking a question that probably everyone tried to avoid by running away from it, "Friend what is a soeul mate?"

Beast boy grinned a little this isn't the death question, "A soul mate is the belief that there is a soul that was made for another soul".

Starfire was quiet for a heartbeat before asking the question that signifies that you should duck out and run, "What is a soul?"

There it is, "Um well Star a soul is…kinda…" looking around noticing fruit "like the taste of an orange".

Starfire looked quizzically at him before he continued, "Well the skin is our skin, the fruit is our flesh, the seed's are our organs and such, but the thing that separates an orange from an apple or watermelon, is the taste. The taste is what makes it unique…"

Starfire appeared to be looking over his shoulder but he didn't like to leave the thought unfinished continued.

Beast boy pointed to her, "Your soul is different from my soul, you know why?"

A voice came amused from behind him, "Why?"

Beast boy had a mild spaz attack and what felt like a heart attack before he turned and saw Raven with a smile on her face, eyebrow up.

There wasn't many times when Beast boy would run, no…he wasn't a coward, but if he could have seen a way out of this predicament he would have taken it…even if it was to crawl over Cyborg's dead body.

Well no way out of it.

"I was going to explain deities and such but Starfire's injured and you're going to be with her the rest of the time to heal her…so you do it-bye"

But he wasn't going down with out a fight.

Raven still had that amused look in her eye as he left and as far as he can tell…she thought he was a moron, until now!
