"The only thing stronger than anything else is me."
-Mokoto Sishio

When Starfire came through the hole, she saw little of the cavern she knew this to be. She ignited her hands with her natural energy and it did not truly add much to the demonic night she was encased in. She floated towards the center of the vast open space under the tower. Then four of the thousands of red eyes became much larger. She blasted the creature in mid flight and immediately summoned another 'starbolt' (as her friends had taken to calling them).

Only then did she spot Jinx. Encased in a pink blob, she left a trail of pink as she flew. A step behind her was a liquid cloud of monsters, jutting from one spot on the floor and wrapping itself around the room like a tentacle of hate. Just before it reached Jinx, she let an arc of pink hexery loose against the base. The ring of manifested hatred came crashing down, splashing against the rocky floor. Only instead of water, shadowy demonic monsters spilled into a spreading puddle.

Starfire flew directly in front of Jinx. She let her hands light up as brightly as she could. The same blazing green energy spilled out of her eyes. She spread out her stance with parted booted feet and opposed elbows showing a nigh mythical exonic physique. "Stand down or I will make you."

Jinx knew how to throw a punch. Her fingers were completely tucked, leaving a lot of the palm exposed. That palm was then covered from the muscle beneath her thumb. That thumb was then tightly wrapped around her fingers, securing them into a tight knot of bone. The whole thing was flexed slightly inward to align the bones in the palm with the bones in her forearm. Had she been on the ground, her posture would have been one of stepping into it, whipping her hips to throw her body weight behind her strength. She threw that punch with her primary, her left hand. And that is why she did not break her wrist punching the underside of Starfire's right breast, despite feeling like Starfire stuffed her bra with a cannonball.

"You have not the strength to harm me.", Stafire warned. "I realize it was you who brought Raven to this. Please surrender, so that I may give you over to the authorities alive. I know first hand what you have turned my friend into. And I would very very much hate to lose my temper considering how much more powerful I am than you, villain."

Jinx laughed. "You just don't get it, do ya Star? I'm flying and teleporting now. After this fight, I'm God...dess. I'm the most powerful chica on the planet: more than Argent, more than the Star Spangled Kid...Hell, throw a Kryptonian with more meat on her bones that Supergirl straight into the sun and I'll slap that bitch's teeth out."

"You?", she continued. "You don't even really have powers. According to your own computers, any Tameranean can do what you do."

Stafire slowly shook her head in the gesture that meant 'no' in the western hemisphere of this planet. "I am loved. I have friends. I am heralded as a hero on this world, my own and others. Even those who have called me troq sing songs of me. And never have I forsaken justice. And that makes me more powerful than you will ever understand."

Jinx punched Starfire in the eye.

In the T-Car-

"So if you got a plan, when do we get back in there?", Cyborg asked from the driver's seat.

"Can I ask you how many times your own body weight you can lift?", Robin said while reviewing more contents of his case.

"102.34, why?", Cyborg said in response.

"Do you weigh 12 times as much as Starfire?", Robin continued.

"No...no where near.", Cyborg told him.

"Because after I returned to my relationship with Starfire she was pressing over twelve thousand times her body weight.", Robin told him. "With one arm. She fried the magnetic shield on the obstacle course, on accident. We ran out of equipment that was capable of testing her limits before she hit them. That's why we're staying right where we are until I say otherwise."

"You mean you told Starfire you were in love with her just so she would become more powerful!", Cyborg exclaimed.

"No.", Robin said. He was greeted with Cyborg's sigh of relief. "She's more in tune with emotions than that. If I was lying about love or even like she'd spot it in an instant."

"I actually do love her. And there are greater sacrifices to make than being in love with a compassionate and cute, superpowered, alien princess."

In Hell-

Jinx grabbed Starfire's waist in a hug to dodge the punch thrown at her. She launched a scorpion kick backwards over herself and her boot bounced off Starfire's face. Starfire pounded downwards with both hands. Only by pushing with both hands did she manage to slide away from the blow.

The pink haired girl's boots collided with two of the creatures of the night. Her toes pinned their heads to the ground and a pink glow enveloped them before they disintegrated.

Starfire's pounding motion hit a creature that had dove under her legs. The cracks that appeared in it were the same that were left on the cavern floor.

Jinx pulled her head under her as if tumbling. Kicking over herself she landed on her feet in front of Starfire. The human beat the odds to limbo under a roundhouse kick from Starfire. With her back bending position, she kicked the alien.

That managed to push Jinx backwards into a waiting creature, larger than a bear and armed with the platonic ideal of painful teeth. She used the momentum to elbow the center of the creature. Continuing in a turn, she punched a glowing fist through the beast and pulled out a semi-liquid chuck of it. It pooled on the ground and started to reform.

When Jinx jumped away from it, Starfire had finished punishing an obtenebrated monstrousity behind herself. Jinx collided with Starfire's back at full force and probably moved her enemy a nanometer. Jinx launched an elbow over her shoulder and Starfire bounced it away with her temple. Jinx stomped her heel into the back of Starfire's knee and only raised herself off the ground into a mid air spin. Snatching out with both hands, she managed to grab into the mane of red hair the space princess maintained. A mere flick of the Titan's head, and Starfire's hair nearly ripped Jinx' shoulders out of their sockets.

Being pulled through the air by Starfire's hair did not strike Jinx as a good idea. She pulled with her back muscles and drove her knees into the clasp of Starfire's neck guard. Not being ultra-powerful alien warrior, it broke.

Jinx grabbed the guard and threw it into one of the dive bombing beasts. She encased her fist in pink and threw herself bodily at Starfire.

X'hal is an idiot. That's what Tameranean doctors decided when it was discovered that while the Tameranean body was remarkably durable, the aortas to both of the hearts lay just under the skin on the outside of the rib cage. That's why nearly all Tameraneans where neck guards that droop downward. Guess what Jinx' fist 'just happenned' to collide with.

Starfire staggered back a pace. Jinx decided not to follow up on the attack, but instead to cartwheel out of the way of her eyebeams. Starfire stuck out both arms and proceeded to spin in place. A hair later, starbolts rained out from her in all directions. Jinx, encased in her aura and eyes glowing brightly pink, danced through the volley. Arching her back to dodge one on one turn. Pirouetting around the follow up on the next spin.

The monsters were (fortunately) not so willing to retreat. They stormed head long into the hail of energy. Countless denizens of the netherreaches fell apart under the assault. Including the one that had represented the sin of vanity enough to wear Starfire's armor.

The girl pulled out of her spin to rush her neck guard. Crossing her arms over her weakness she flew to it. One of the beasts attempted to beat her to by falling from above. Starfire head butted it. Its wings remained where they were. The body of the beast pushed into the crowd until it collided with the wall. Again adorned, Starfire's blazing eyes turned to her true enemy.

Jinx pulled out of her gymnastic dance as soon as her unwelcome cover fire stopped. Surrounded by the creatures again, she brought pink arcs agains them with both hands. Covered by cresents, she appeared as an anime samurai. The creatures fell around her.

After clearing some space for a second, she managed to spot Starfire floating towards her. Jinx back flipped onto the head of a particularly tall creature. She then jumped her feet in a circle over head onto one of the flying ones. Racing across the four eyed ravens flapping and cawing a horrible storm in the cave jump by step, Jinx reached her opponent.

Jinx jumped off her last of the airborne creatures and boot first onto Starfire's head. She tucked her legs into a ariel backwards tumble to dodge the unhesitant eye blast and landed back on Starfire's head. Starfire flew forward to shake the girl. The villain slipped off her head, grabbed her leg and vaulted under then over to land on Starfire's pipe hard abs.

Jinx threw a hex bolt before Starfire could shoot. One of the creatures happenned to fly between them and was blasted to pieces by the starbolt. Seeing how fast Starfire was, Jinx didn't waste the arm motion to mime throwing but just let her power seep from her aura. Creatures poured into Starfire's flight path. Her arms threw energy at a hectic pace, then began to blur beyond sight, then a hot yellow orange tinged in the space Jinx knew Starfire's arms were even if her dilated metahuman pupils couldn't spot the arms themselves.

Two really strange things occured to her.

One was Starfire's unique physiology. Well, not really unique. Most of her species must have no belly button, Jinx surmised. And probably the same for ab muscles that weren't in bunches but ran smoothly up and down.

The other was the much scarier proposition. The glow that tinged Starfire's blur remind Jinx of the converstation she had with Gizmo when they were discussing the possibility of her to fly. She had asked how hot the upper atmosphere was because she knew spaceships and asteroids glew on re-entry. Gizmo explained that the glow was really the object slamming into the atmosphere so hard it ripped the electrons off the atoms in the atmosphere. On top of that, despite being in Titan's Tower with Raven, Jinx had never spotted a place for Starfire's spaceship. What if, and a far flung if, Starfire didn't use spaceships. Was she just fast enough to fly between habitable planets?

Starfire at strength, starbolt and dazzling was plenty. Jinx did not need the U.S.S. Starfire turning warp factor five on her.

Jinx snapped her fingers. The cargo elevator's steel, I-beam frame 'just happenned' to come out of the darkness and connect with Starfire's head when she flew straight into it.

Jinx hurdled through an openning between beams. Her speed kept her going despite Starfire knocking some of the bolts holding it to the cavern walls loose. Being thrown across the shaft, she grabbed a beam on the otherside and her momentum dragged her in a circle. Jinx was tossed back inside the shaft.

Jinx floated on 'random' winds and stared wide eyed at Starfire. Starfire, for her part, grabbed the I-beam she ran into with both hands. A gut wrenching shriek poured from the metal when the alien tore the steel in two. Starfire slowly floated into the shaft. She balled one of her glowing hands into a fist menacingly. "I believe I was in the process of breaking something, was I not?", she blithely asked.

Jinx snapped her fingers again. The elevating platform that was last used when Robin fought Slade on it came rushing up to greet them, as its activation button 'just happenned' to be jarred enough from Starfire's crash and the thrashing demons that were now clogging the empty spaces between I-beams. Jinx was hurled upwards by it colliding with her feet while a Starfire sized hole lay in the moving floor in front of her.

The elevator stopped as high as it could go. Jinx wracked her brains for a way to pull this off. Then it occured to her.

Lucky it did. Because Starfire seemed to appear in front of her a moment before the hole on the other side of the platform appeared to let her through. But the alien came to a stop where Jinx 'just happenned' to be holding the two ends of the power line for the elevator. The platform fell away and Jinx was floating on 'random' winds again. Starfire was encased in arcing blue electricty.

The alien howled in fury but mostly pain. Starfire fought with what would be her nervous system if she was human to get her hands to the insulated cables Jinx was holding. Once Jinx felt that the cables would hold themselves to the princess with the magnetic fields they were generating, she let go and cast a pink arc at the cables. At that moment, every circuit connected to the fuel cells that were used to charge the giant flying drilling machines and robot army Slade had used failed except for the elevator power cables. The thunder from the exhuberent glowing arcs pushed Jinx out of the elevator shaft.

Eventually the fuel cells ran dry. Starfire, followed by a horde of the shadows, fell to the bottom of the elevator shaft.
