Chapter 3

The sea of red behind Cyborg formed into Madame Rouge. "Rouge," Cyborg murmered.

"We are taking you all down," Madame Rouge said.

"Not if I can help it," Cyborg said. She turned her left hand into a spiked mace and shot it at Cyborg. It knocked him into the room's back stone wall. It shook the wall and tiny pieces of rubble fell down from the ceiling on Cyborg. Madama Rouge cartwheeled over to Cyborg. Cyborg pulled out his sonic cannon and fired it at Madame Rouge, but she quickly bent and twisted her body every which way to avoid being shot. She clamped onto his sonic cannon like a bottle cap. It shut down Cyborg's sonic cannon and knocked him back. He quickly went to punch Madame Rouge off of his hand, but she jumped off and ran towards the other side of the room. Cyborg shot a rocket out of his chest at Madame Rouge. She whipped back and grabbed it with an extended hand she threw it back at Cyborg. Cyborg activated a sonic shield from his eye. It protected him from the rocket. Madame Rouge grabbed a priceless diamond and ran towards Cyborg. She jumped up with the diamond in hand, flipped two times in mid air and landed on Cyborg. She slinked over onto his back and pierced his lining with the diamond. She poured herself into his circuitry and shot him down. She poured out onto the floor, reformed, and walked off with his central power supply in a sack made from her arm slung behind her shoulder.

"Au revoir," she snickered disappearing into the smoke made during the battle. Raven's dark energy field arrived on the astral plain. They all stepped out of the dark energy. Starfire flew up and shot Goth with a starbolt stream. They all hit knocking Goth back onto what appeared to be a giant eye ball. A flying squid flew above him.

"Where am I?" Goth questioned.

"The Astral Plain," Raven began.

"Home of me, the Herald," the Herald stepped out of the smoke left by the starbolts.

"Good idea Raven, picking a location where we could meet up with another Titan," Robin beamed. The Herald pulled out his horn.

"Guitar beats trumpet," Goth said pulling out his guitar and strumming a chord that shot out laser like projections. They knocked all of the Titans back except for Beast Boy who dodged each one.

"I don't have time for this!" Beast Boy yelled turning into a bear. He grabbed Goth's guitar, snapped it, and then clawed Goth back. He swung at him again. The Herald ran over with his horn.

"I'll handle him, you guys get out of here," the Herald smiled. He blew his horn at Goth and it took the torque ruby's effects out of his system returning him to being normal Punk Rocket. Raven teleported Beast Boy, Robin, and Starfire back to the museum where they saw Cyborg lying lifeless on the floor. Beast Boy ran over to him.

"Cy?" he whispered softly.
