Sorry everyone, but I will be ending this story in the next chapter. I was hoping to make this story longer, but oh well. No worries though, because there's a chance I'll make a sequel…it all depends on what you guys say, though. I've already got the sequel planned out, but I want your opinion first. Should I or should I not make a sequel? That's for you to decide! Anyways, on with the show!
Chapter V: War Part I: ChaosSlade sat on his metal throne, with the large pendulum swinging back and forth behind him. "Logan… today is the day. Now is the moment that I trained you for…"
"You mean, tonight, we strike?"
"Yes… Golem, Orion, Arashi, and Frost are already preparing my army of Memory Eaters. Together, the Titans could barely handle one Memory eater… but with them slowly drifting apart, it should be fun watching them all get squashed by hundreds!"
"Yes… … father…" Beastboy said, now doubting every single thing he had been told.
… … … … …
"Beastboy was right," Robin began. "You are back, Terra."
"Yeah, but not for long. I'm only sticking around to take down Slade, but after that, I'm gone."
"But how did you return? Where have you been?" He asked.
"A Memory Eater got hungry, and stupidly freed me of my stone prison. Before he could feed off my memories, however, I utterly destroyed it. I'd never seen anything like that creature… it was a mix of both organic and robotic parts, the only thing that came close to that thing's technology is Cyborg… yet it was far more advanced then even his technology…"
"So you know more about Memory Eaters than we did, huh?"
"What do you mean "We"? According to the news reports, it looks like the Teen Titans are disbanding. You see, I have a family that actually accepts me for who I am… and the only reason I left is because it seems that I'm the only one who can do anything to stop Slade."
"We're… just in a bit of a mess right now. We aren't disbanding, just, taking a break."
"Right." Terra said. "I'd better be off, I've got to stop Slade. If you want to gather the Titans and help, go right ahead. But I have some unfinished business with that madman."
… … … … …
Beastboy lay on his bed, thinking. Terra… why does he know that name? And why is he getting these strange images in his head? Is he truly who he thinks he is? "Who am I…?"
… … … … …
Orion stood in a large room behind the clock face of the seven story high clock tower, which was Slade's throne room, with three others behind him. "Golem, step forward…" A large, muscular teenager stepped forward. He had short dirt-brown hair and gray eyes. He wore a torn blue T-shirt and a pair of sand-colored jeans, torn into shorts. "You will be battling Terra… far surpass her in skill and power." Slade said.
"I understand." He bowed and walked away.
"Frost, step forward…" Slade said. The teen on the right stepped forward. He wore silver and black sunglasses and had ice-blue hair, with emerald green eyes hidden behind his shades. He also wore a black leather jacket with a white T-shirt underneath with the letter F on it written in red. "You will be in the front lines, along with Orion."
"That freak?" He asked. Slade gave him a cold glare. "Fine…" He said.
"Arashi, you will be staying here." A young boy, no older then 10, stepped forward.
"What? Why can't I fight?" He had spiky green hair and green eyes to go with it. He had a scar on his left cheek and wore a loose, light green vest with white pants and a plain white T-shirt.
"I have another use for you, that's why."
… … … … …
Terra walked through the city streets. "Its quiet… a bit too quiet…" She said. She walked around a corner and stopped in her tracks. Millions of large Memory eaters walked the city streets, throwing cars and demolishing buildings, searching for something… or someone. Terra quickly ran away but was stopped by Orion.
"Where do you think you're going?" He asked. She tried to escape but was stopped by a wall of fire. "You didn't think you were going to escape, did you? Ring of Fire!" A large ring of fire surrounded Terra.
"What…?"
"I hope you like my friend, Golem, he's been dying to meet you… Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!" Orion walked backward through the flames as a large chopper lowered Golem to the ground. As the hot embers swirled around Terra, Golem cracked his knuckles and grinned.
"Master Slade sees you as a threat…" Terra jumped out of the way as a pillar of concrete jutted out of the ground, not seeing the large boulder flying straight toward her. She was thrown backward with amazing speed, nearly hitting a wall of fire. She rolled out of the way as Golem jumped through the air and punched the chunk of concrete she was lying on. She jumped out of the way and dodged another punch of his.
"Alright big-boy, time for me to fight back!" Terra began to glow a bright yellow and lifted a large chunk of concrete into the air.
"You're a geomancer too? No wonder Slade had me fight you… now its time for some real fun!" A Red aura surrounded Golem and the concrete shattered into pieces. "Come on little girl, show me what you've got!" A wicked grin appeared on Golem's face and he began to glow an even brighter red.
"Little girl? Now you're in for it!" Terra grinned and launched three chunks of concrete and rock at Golem. Before they reached him, however, they shattered into millions of shards of rock.
"I'm far more skilled then you, child. I suggest you give up before you get hurt." Golem said, obviously trying to get on Terra's nerves. From high above, a news copter broadcasted the battle between the two geomancers across the country, live.
… … … … …
"It seems that former Teen Titan, and apprentice to Slade, is fighting to take down the geomancer known only as Golem, possibly to try and redeem her dark deeds of the past."
… … … … …
Terra and Golem continued to battle relentlessly, neither of them showing signs of giving up. Golem grinned and tunneled underground, and emerged behind Terra. She turned and he kicked her hard in the stomach, forcing her to fly through the air. As she was about to hit the wall of fire when someone jumped through the fiery ring and saved her.
"B, Beastboy?"
