Chapter 8: You Are Now Leaving

The titans were back on the road after the thing with the bikers finished. They were now hoping to Mt. Rushmore by tomorrow morning. But that what they are hoping to do. Cyborg and Beast Boy have a lot of things on there mind at the moment.

"That's the last time I take a shortcut," thought Cyborg, "This whole route was cursed. With dead drivers racing for the people's souls and those zombie bikers. I'm never going this way again."

"This whole trip so far is crap," thought Beast Boy, "Used as a trophy for ghosts and the living dead. Then having to save Starfire from zombies. What a hell of a trip I'm having."

"According to the map," read Robin, "Mt. Rushmore is 100 miles away, but with the speed we are going at, we'll be there in the morning."

"Thank God for that!" said Cyborg and Beast Boy, "I want out of hell now!" Everyone stared at them with a weird look.

"Ok," said Robin confused, "Just keep your eyes on the road, Cyborg. We don't need a crash before we leave this route."

After 3 hours of driving and bickering, they were lost somewhere on the road. Then it got even worse when the sun started to set.

"Crap," said Terra, "Where the heck are we anyways? Please don't tell me that we are lost out here! I can't stand this anymore!"

"Try being positive on this moment we are in!" said Cyborg, "I'm trying to be positive in this moment. Follow my example, ok?"

"Nope," said Terra, "We're dead and we are totally lost in the middle of a God forsaken route filled with zombies, ghosts, ghouls, and fog! Wait a minute…"

All of the titans looked around them, fog started to pour out of the ground. The streetlights started to dim slowly and the go out. Then a cold wind started to pickup, that chilled all of there souls.

"This seems very familiar," said Raven, "Just right before that huge semi-truck came out of nowhere."

"Or those horrible zombie bikers," said Starfire shivering with fright, "I never want to live that again!"

All of them looked around themselves again. Then they all ran and jump into the T-Car as quick as they could. Cyborg stomped on the gas pedal and took of as fast as they could.

As they drove by the streetlights, each one went out quickly and the fog got even denser. Soon, the whole road was covered and impossible to see.

"Where is it?" said Beast Boy looking out the window, "I can't see a single thing out here!" All of sudden, something came barreling out of the fog. Beast Boy pulled back into the car before the thing nearly took his head off.

The thing that came out of the fog was the huge semi-truck. But the truck had to big differences to it this time around. It was on fire, and Slade was behind the wheels.

"Hello titans," said Slade, "Going my way?" The fire glowed bright ghostly blue. Then fireballs started to burst out of the fire and started to rain on the titans' car.

"What the hell?" said Robin, "He's got fire again? I thought he couldn't do that trick anymore!"

"I guess he still can!" said Cyborg, "But this time it's even crazier! Look!" Robin looked outside and saw the fire touch the ground and burned a hole in the ground that lead to the center of Earth, but that was just a guess.

"This isn't going to end good either way," said Terra who was freaking out, "How are we going to stop him? My powers are useless since he could start burn though any ground."

"My star bolts could just make the fire stronger," said Starfire, "Anyone who has an idea, be so kindly to say it now?"

"I have an idea," said Raven, "But Terra, I'll need your help for this to work." She whispered to Terra, and she nodded.

"Now Cyborg," said Raven to him, "Gain as much distance between us and Slade." He nodded as well, and punched the gas and sped off.

After losing sight of Slade, Raven told Cyborg to stop the car. Cyborg gave her a strange look, but stopped anyways. Then Terra and Raven got out.

"Now!" said Raven to Terra, "Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" The ground started to pull apart and then Terra started to pull as well. They created a huge gap that could shallow the semi.

"This worked before with the bikers," said Terra, "I hope this works with Slade."

"It should," said Raven, "Trust me on this, it well work for sure." They looked and saw the semi appearing up ahead. The semi picked up speed, but Slade didn't see the gap and fell strait into it.

"Told you it would work," said Raven helping Terra close the gap.

"I guess so," said Terra, "But it seems way too easy for us to defeat him. There has to be a catch to this somewhere."

After 3 more hours of driving, a sign came up saying the exit was 3 miles ahead. Cyborg stopped the car to look at the sign and sighed.

"Finally!" said Cyborg, "We are almost out of here! Thank God! We almost made it." But all of a sudden, the ground started to rumbled and split open. The huge semi drove right of opening.

"Oh crap," said Robin, "He's still coming? This isn't our day at all."

"You'll have to try again," said Slade, "I'm not that easily defeated. Here I come now." The semi started up and started to charge at the T-Car that was already speeding away.

"Can't we shake this guy somehow?" said Beast Boy, "This guy has like 50 lives or something!"

"I have a good idea," said Cyborg, "Since everything out here only happens on Route 666. I think I can lose him this way."

"What do you mean by that?" said Beast Boy confused, "How'll we lose this guy."

As they sped down the route, the exit to the route appeared in front of them. Cyborg took a sharp turn onto this road and so did Slade. But when they reached the exit onto Highway 44, the semi, and along with Slade, disappeared.

"Hey!" shouted Robin, "Where Slade did go now?"

"I think I know," said Cyborg, "That route had so much supernatural events on it, and only it, I thought that once we left the route all the supernatural things would disappear as soon as we reach the exit. I guess I was right."

"No kidding," said Raven, "I just want to sleep know after all of this."

"Me too," said Starfire.

"Well," said Robin looking at the map, "A motel is coming up ahead of us. Let's go there and spend the night there."

"Good idea," said Cyborg, "I need to crash after out running a ghost truck, racing dead drivers, and being launched off my feet by zombies."

As they drove away, the ghost semi appeared at the beginning of the exit of Route 666 and watched as the Teen Titans drove off.
