Disclaimer: I do not own Danny Phantom or the Teen Titans. I only own the plot, and any possible OC's.

Danny Phantom, was no more.

But Danny FENTON was still breathing, barely.

Dani was the only one who seemed to notice through her tears, and that got her mind turning, unaware of it at the moment.

She squeezed the cold-growing hand with her own, tears still falling. She didn't want this, she doesn't want to lose him!

'Please dad, don't leave me!' She prayed, hoping that whoever was up above would give her the chance, would give her dad the chance. 'Without you, I'm nothing but a failed clone of yours…'

Wait a second, clone…

Her eyes shot open as she remembered something. They darted to the form of Cyborg, who was currently trying to help Robin with supporting the loudly crying Starfire.

"Your ecto-signature is almost exactly like your fathers. I'm even surprised I can keep you two separate on my scanners."

Those were Cyborgs exact words when he talked about the similarities between her and her dad. Gears started working in her mind, clicking the pieces together until a light-bulb went on in her head.

'Similar ecto-signature, similar powers,… Similar core?'

The more she thought about it, the more it seemed to click. She took a shaky breath, and squeezed her dad's hand one last time, checking his pulse as she did. Weak, very weak, but still there. He's not gone, not yet.

"Dani?" Raven called the girl, having noticed the change in emotions from the young halfa. The sadness was fading, being replaced with… Hope?

"Guys." Dani her voice rang to the others, and they turned to face her. She stood up, and a hopeful, but still sad look was on her face. But the sadness wasn't for her father anymore, but for herself.

What would happen to her, if she took the risk?

"Danielle?"

"I-I… I'm sorry, Raven. Everyone." She said with resigned hope, and took one final breath before going intangible. She flew into Danny's body, his form tugging a little as she entered. She could just hear the "No!" from Raven, but then all vanished. Her senses were replaced with those of Danny as she repositioned herself. Finally finding the spot where she knew his core was, thanks to the spherical hole missing something, she placed her own in its spot before doing something no ghost would ever do.

Turning her core, solely her core, solid. It fit perfectly, and she waited for her dad's body to react.

It did, the tissue that was now around her core reaching out and latching onto it. She felt how his body connected with it, with her.

And suddenly, all turned black in her mind.

The first thing he noticed was that he had a feeling of being… Alive.

You don't feel alive when dead, right?

Next was the presence of his senses. Smell, taste, hearing… He could feel everything around him.

Did he turn into a full-ghost? Do they actually feel something? He never was certain as a half-ghost. And his enemies never bothered answering him.

And then he felt his energy, weak but recovering. No dead person has energy, right? And he doesn't feel like a ghost, they don't feel alive.

Finally, he registered the soft prodding in his mind, that familiar sensation in his head. He tried to open his eyes and get back up, but was pushed back down on something soft underneath him by a gentle force. Those hands were caring, tender and kind, and felt warm despite their source.

"Danny?"

Raven.

"W-what? Raven, what happened?" He was able to ask as he tried to get back up, but she pushed him back down, and he could practically feel the glare on him.

"Don't. You just cheated death, no need to give him a second chance."

He laughed weakly at her attempt of humor. Finally managing to open his eyes, he met her violet ones, emotions more clear in them than ever before. Relief, worry and… Regret?

"Raven, what happened?" He looked around, noticing they were still in the same room, but alone. "Where's everyone else? Where's Danielle?"

The cloaked -wait where is her cloak?- titan bit her lip, and her eyes drifted away from him. He got up a little, and was starting to get worried. He looked underneath him and found her cloak, making the tile floor softer for him to lie on.

"Where is everyone?"

"They went after Slade. I offered to stay here and look out over you." Raven answered, more at ease with that specific question. It was the next one she knew was coming that didn't feel right to answer. 'How do you tell a father this? And your boyfriend no less?'

"And Danielle? Is she with them?"

"…No. She isn't."

"Then where is she! Raven!" His worry was fueling his anger, and he hissed as he felt something in his chest burn a little. He grabbed to the spot, and after a moment the feeling faded away. Raven her eyes narrowed a little, and she took a deep breath.

"You have a core, keeping you alive."

Danny his eyes widened as he turned to stare at his girlfriend. How?

"Did you get my core back?"

Raven her head lowered as she sighed, dreading to answer. But she knew he would keep on asking, maybe even Overshadow her if he has to, to get his answers.

"…Danielle gave you her core. S-she entered your body and put her ghost-core in, in place of your missing one."

Danny his mind drew a blank for a moment, processing that information. Danielle put her core in the spot of his own? She… She made herself a part of him?

"What?"

"The core keeping you alive is hers."

"And where is she? What happened to her?!" He started yelling, and it hurt his heart that he was yelling at the person he loves. But he needed to know, he needed to know where his daughter is!

"Danny… She didn't come back out of you."

His skin paled, and his hand unconsciously reached for the spot he knew his… No, Danielle's core is. No… No, no! She, did she…?

"Is she… G-gone?"

"I don't think she's gone. I scanned your mind, and I feel a new presence, I think she's made herself a part of you, and is recovering from it. She's still there, in a sense, connected to you." Raven explained as she eased him down a little, trying to get the halfa -is he even a halfa with a strange core?- to calm down.

Danny relaxed as he understood what she meant, for the most part. They were fused together, but mentally still separate, and hopefully once they recover his core from Slade they can turn both of them back to normal.

Hopefully.

"What would Slade want with my ghost-core anyways?"

Robin cursed profusely as they took another turn into a dead-end. This place is like a labyrinth!

"Where could Slade have gone too?" Starfire asked as she scanned the walls for any possible hidden doorways or exits. That masked psycho had tricked them so many times, no one would be surprised if he used those to make his escape.

"I've got a faint signal off Danny's core, but it's bouncing of my radar." Cyborg said as he checked the screen on his arm. He had thought about the fact that a ghost-core must be made of ectoplasm, and by that has a signature. The cyborg gritted his teeth in anger as the signal vanished, only to reappear somewhere else.

"Slade's playing a trick on us." Robin observed with annoyance as he walked through the halls, the others following behind.

Beast boy his T-Com beeped, and he grabbed it to find a message.

"Raven send a message… Danny's alive!"

Everyone visibly relaxed at that news, Terra letting a relieved breath escape her.

"At least we aren't losing a titan to him this time." Robin said, eyes darting to the blonde for a moment. She rubbed her neck sheepishly, chuckling a little to herself.

"We're not making a dent in this place. These halls run for miles." Cyborg exclaimed in anger as he watched his scanners reveal an intricate and mind-boggling array of halls, rooms and dead ends.

"Where are we anyways?" Beast Boy asked in curiosity as he touched the wall, only for a few pieces of loose rock and dust to fall down. He grumbled as the dust covered him, but it was quickly removed by his geokinetic girlfriend.

"I think in an old complex once used by smugglers in the industrial period. That's the time these factories were built here, they somehow made this complex underneath them." Cyborg explained to the others. The green titan looked confused at his friend, and the cyborg teen sighed in exasperation before going back to his scans.

"Nevertheless, there must be a place where Slade could have gone."

"Maybe one of those larger rooms?" Terra asked as she pointed at one on Cyborg's screen. He hummed in thoughts, finding reason in that.

"There are at least a dozen of those."

"Then we split up. Everyone take a room and check it out. If you find Slade, call the rest of the team. Cyborg, call Raven and check on Danny's status." Robin commanded his team, motioning for the darker-skinned titan to come closer. He motioned for the screen, and Cyborg nodded in understanding. He pressed a few buttons, and projected a hologram of the complex in front of everyone, highlighting the largest rooms.

"Pick a room, any room."

The choices were quickly made, and everyone made sure they had a route to them. Doing a final check, and hearing from Raven that Danny's recovering, they left on their route.

No one knew that this was part of Slade's plan, a camera embedded in a corner of the hall focused on the group as they split up.

'I told you I would get you separated.'

Cyborg took a look at his screen, grumbling as the signal bounced again, suddenly fifteen meters deeper, and at least a few miles to the north.

"I can't even figure out where north is in these dark halls." Cyborg growled under his breath. He sighed and closed the scanner, not bothering with the it anymore. He walked further, and finally saw the open door leading into the room he had picked.

Pushing the door further open, he entered, and was almost blinded by the light that turned on. He blinked as the dots disappeared from his sight, and gawked at what he sees in front of him.

A machine of immense size, at least three times larger than him. Humanoid shape and large weapons in the place of the hands. It's legs were replaced by tank-tracks and dim red eyes were focused on nothing. Large chest with a puzzle in place, confusing the cyborg.

"Why build a puzzle in the chest of such a beauty?!" He exclaimed in a whine, eyes practically replaced by hearts. He noticed the ladder, and saw that he could reach the puzzle with it. 'Help find Slade, or finish the puzzle and have an extra asset to help search?' He contemplated the two options.

Doing some debate in his mind, weighing the options, he finally shrugged his shoulders and walked to the ladder, a confident smile appearing on his face.

He moved it in front of the large mechanical wonder, and climbed up, reaching the puzzle with ease. Moving the pieces, he hummed until discovering what the image is supposed to be.

A red orb, like a central core.

Suddenly, when he finished the puzzle, it glowed red, the deeper center an ice-blue. The eyes lighted up, and the large head looked down, lenses making the red eyes focus on Cyborg. At first he hoped for it to act friendly, but the moving of the arm and the charging of the weapon told him otherwise. Suddenly, on the head appeared the 'S' of Slade, and the cyborg teen smacked his head, groaning.

"Stupid."

He jumped away as the massive robot blasted the ladder to bits. It's other arm moved in response and the tracks started rolling, the mechanical monster following Cyborg whilst trying to blast him.

He slid underneath a blast, and fired his canon at the thing. It ricocheted of the metal hull, and hit the ceiling instead. 'Shit!'

He slipped underneath the robot, and planned to fire at the back of the machine, but it's head turned around 180 and the red eyes glowed menacingly, one arm turning to face the cyborg. His eyes widened before being hit, blasted into the wall. He groaned, and struggled as sparks came from his arms. That hurt, and damaged him badly as well. He can't afford being hit anymore! And his canons didn't work either!

'I've always relied on my canons.' Cyborg mused as he avoided another blast. Instinct was kicking in, and he put the calculations in his head away. 'It's time I rely more on my human side.'

He jumped on the wall, using it as a support. Jumping from the mowing arm, he went back and forwards, until he reached high enough. He yelled, slamming his fist into one of the machine's eyes. The head started spinning, and he flew of the thing, landing on the ground and rolling to catch the impact. His arm sparked again, and he gritted his teeth in pain.

The robot had recovered from the surprise hit and was glaring murderously (if that is even possible for a robot) at the small half-robot teen with one working eye. It aimed a shot, but Cyborg easily dodged as his enemy now lacked proper depth-vision. 'My instincts work just as good, if not even better than my brain!'

Time to finish this thing, old school style!

Starfire was floating through the halls, lighting it up with a small starbolt in her hand. She glanced around, eyes focused and mind on alert.

She stopped when she noticed the light streaming from the room she was headed too. The redhead floated down and opened the door, gasping in shocked surprise.

In front of her was an entire wall filled with cages holding large moth-larva, looking almost the same like Silkie, her pet. She floated up to one of the cages, and awed at how cute they looked, to her at least.

"Why would Slade ever put such cute little creatures in cages?"

She blasted the lock on a cage open and carried the larva down in her arms, cuddling it. It made happy noises at the care, and she could almost picture Silkie in her arms.

Suddenly, all the cages opened, and the larva came crawling out, hoarding around the alien with cute and begging faces. She was awestruck by the amount of cuteness, and had almost practically forgotten about why she was here.

Almost.

"I would be happy to stay with you, but I must find Slade." She said to the creatures, and put the larva down. As much as she liked them, she had a mission to do. And the redhead already had a pet, back at Titans Tower. How would Silkie feel if it saw her cuddling with all of these?

She was planning to fly off and continue to search, but her feet were held down. She looked at what was holding her, and frowned as she saw that the larva were trying to keep her on the ground.

"Let go now, I must unfortunately leave you. I promise I'll come back for you!" She tried to coax them, but they simply crawled up her leg and held her down even stronger. She frowned harder, and tried to get away. Fear was starting to build inside her, and she didn't like what was happening.

"Let go!" She yelled, trying to get free. The larva crawled further up, and she was being held down. She tried to grasp for something to get out but only had empty air. The creatures swarmed her like a flood, bringer her further and further down, waist already gone in the white collection of now not-so-cute moth-larva.

'I cannot fight them, they are far too cute for that! But, I must find Slade and help friend Danny. What do I do?!'

Soon, only her hand was left over the wave of larva. As if she was consumed by it, her hand vanished. For a moment, only white was visible on the floor as the larva moved around.

'No, I cannot let this stop me! I must help Danny!'

A few green beams appeared from between the larva, and suddenly they were blasted to bits. Floating a little bit above the ground was a now visibly angry Starfire, eyes glowing green and her hands charged with Starbolts. The larva she had destroyed were blasted to a purple goop, and it rained down on her, covering her a bit in the substance. She didn't let that deter her, blasting the advancing creatures to pieces with a yell.

Friends come first, no matter what!

Beast Boy walked into a large empty room. Pure concrete everywhere. Suddenly, the door slammed shut behind him. He frowned, and was going to change into an elephant to break it open, but a mirror slid upwards from the floor, and in front of him he saw his reflection.

Or he thought it was his reflection, until it changed into his beast-form. He cried out in shock and backed away. He didn't change, that can't be him!

"What are you afraid off?"

He turned around, suddenly face-to-face with another reflection, although it looked straight at him, with a much darker gaze. It opened its mouth, and a dark, but still similar voice came from the reflection.

"Why are you so afraid? It's just another one of your transformations."

'N-no, it isn't.' He thought, backing away. The beast-form in the mirror growled, and Beast Boy backed away to another part. Three mirrors slid up behind him, and he stared at the same darker reflections, a darkly amused look on their faces.

"The great Beast Boy, afraid of something that's a part of him."

"No, that thing isn't me!" He yelled, his fists balling together. Reflection or not, no one talks to him like that!

"It is, and the best part is that it was Raven who you used it for to save. Maybe you love her, and not Terra?" The reflections taunted, more mirrors appearing with the same evil mirage.

"What?! That's ridiculous! We're just friends!" Beast Boy yelled in annoyance. They don't know how he thinks! Only he does, and he knows that he isn't in love with Raven. Danny is! He and the cloaked titan are only friends!

"Really? Than why couldn't you save Terra? Why?"

They started chanting the question. He was surrounded, the same word passing his head and entering his mind. Why? He gritted his teeth, balling his fists. He knew why. He did, and he shouted this out to the reflections.

"Because I can't save everyone! I'm a hero, but that doesn't mean I can just save every person who needs it! But that isn't my fault!" He exclaimed with determination, shocking the reflections. They started growling like beasts, and turned into the monster-like creature. They gathered together in the center, leaving the mirrors, until in front of him a dark-green form of the beast was, growling with drool coming from the teeth in the open mouth.

"Bring it on." The changeling challenged, waving his hand in a taunting way. The creature growled before pouncing on the green titan. Time to end this. They can't break him, because he knows.

A hero knows their limits, and forgive themselves for mistakes made in the past.

Robin was walking through the hall, finally reaching the door leading into the room he picked. He opened the door, and found himself in a room filled to the brim with turning clockwork and gears of all kinds. The door slammed shut, and a metal barrier slid in front of it. He gritted his teeth, he should have known it was a trap.

"Hello Robin."

His blood boiled as the boy wonder heard that voice. He turned around, bringing his staff out. Standing on a pair of gears was Slade, eye fixated in the boy.

"Slade. Where did you leave Danny's core?" Robin demanded, swinging his staff before holding it in a battle-ready position. Slade chuckled as he jumped down from the gears.

"You should have learned by now that I don't simply tell you what you want to know." Slade chastised the boy wonder. Robin growled in anger at the man, and ran forwards, attacking. How dare this man talk like that against him?!

He tried to get a hit on Slade, but the man ducked and dodged every move, not seeming to get tired. After a few tries, Robin jumped back, taking a moment to recover.

"My turn." Slade said in a menacing voice, seeming to vanish from sight before hitting Robin in the back. He flew through the air, hitting some gears and making the machinery fall down, a few on his back. the boy wonder groaned in pain as he forced them off him. Slade walked casually to the hunkered form of the masked boy, not showing any emotion.

"You refused to listen to me." He began, kicking the boy in the chin, sending him through the room and against a large gear. Robin slumped, his staff rolling away from him.

"You refused my offer to become my apprentice." He gripped the boy and dragged him up, punching him in the stomach. The air left Robin, and he tried to regain it.

"You took Terra from me!" Slade exclaimed, this time true anger showing in his voice. He slammed Robin into the gear time after time, leaving a reasonable imprint in the metal. He groaned, the pain deafening his senses. Slade threw him on the ground, not a care in the world.

"And now, you still try to stop my plans. Give up, Robin. You failed as a hero, you failed, as a leader."

Robin looked up, able to see the figure of Slade looming over him. He, he…

He was right. He failed his team, he failed Jump City.

"We trust you Robin. You are our friend."

Starfire her words rang through his head, and he looked back up to Slade, confidence returning as he remembered.

How he formed the Teen Titans.

How he grew as a leader.

How he became their friend.

How he found love, with Starfire.

"You're wrong."

Slade his eye widened as the boy wonder got back to his feet, swaying a little but staying upright.

"They're my friends. They trust me. I didn't fail them, I never did. Sure, I made mistakes. Big ones even. But they always forgave me, they never stopped caring for me! That's what you lack, Slade! You don't CARE!"

He delivered a sickening punch into Slade's gut, pushing the man back considerably. Robin grabbed his bo-staff and swung it down hard, relentlessly. He hit Slade time after time, delivering swing after punch after kick. The masked man hit the wall, and slumped down. Robin wanted to deliver the final blow, to end it all. His staff was in the air, a single swing away from ending things. Ending everything.

But he didn't. Instead, he lowered it, and collapsed to his knees from exhaustion and pain.

"But finally, I am still human. I care for them, and I care for life. That's what a true hero is."

He got closer to Slade, and grabbed the mask of the man. The man didn't move, but when Robin removed the mask he came face to face with a timer. His eyes widened, and he bolted away. The boy wonder looked around, and found another door at the other end of the room. He ran through it, just when the timer hit zero, and the room exploded in a ball of fire and smoke. He lunged through the air, landing on the concrete floor with a grunt. He looked back, and gritted his teeth. But it was from the pain, not from anger.

His anger for Slade is no longer an obsession, that died in that explosion. Now he only wants to help save Danny.

Whatever Slade might say, it won't work anymore.

Raven was sitting in the room, eyes focused on Danny. He had been quiet, recovering from his near-death experience, and the knowledge of Danielle, how she saved him. But, the pale titan couldn't shake the feeling it was her fault.

She had laid her cloak on the ground as a make-shift bed for Danny to rest on. She didn't care only her leopard covered her body now, she only felt guilt.

'I don't deserve his love. All I did was take from him. His home, his family, his daughter.'

She closed her eyes, letting her mind wander. Normally she would never let her emotions get to her like this, but the love in her heart was messing with her head, and she cared any less for what might happen.

'I just want do disappear.'

"I wish I was never born."

Suddenly, a flash blinded her vision. She blinked, and found herself floating in the air, nothing supporting her, yet she wasn't falling.

"How…?"

"That is not important, my child."

Raven her eyes widened, and she looked to her side, seeing no one but her mother.

"Mother! What's going on? Where are we?"

"You wished you were never born. I want you to know what the Earth would look like if you weren't born.

They floated down, passing clouds, and suddenly they were inside a massive futuristic city. Vehicles were flying through the air, and a red-dressed woman flew past them. Raven gazed in awe at everything, and turned to face her mother.

"The world has a brighter future without me." She said, seeing how the people below them are happy, how everything seemed better. Her mother frowned at that, and shook her head in denial.

"You haven't seen everything yet."

Raven looked back to the scene, and her eyes narrowed as she saw a strange blue shield in the distance. It puzzled her.

"What's beyond that shield?"

"Let's see to find out." Arella said, and they seemed to move past everything, even the shield.

What The titan saw beyond it blew her away.

A wasteland of nothing but destroyed buildings. No life, no people, nothing. Lighting flashed in the sky, dark clouds covering the polluted air. Everything seemed death, and it was perhaps even worse than the fate of the Earth if she was born.

And there, in the distance, a figure flew through the sky. Arella noticed the intrigued gaze of her daughter, and they flew closer to it.

When they reached the figure, it halted and hovered in front of mother and daughter. Raven gasped, covering her mouth with her hand, tears welling in the corners of her eyes. What was in front of her horrified the pale girl. She doesn't want to believe it, but there he is, right in front of her.

Dan Phantom, in full and terrible glory.

"Without you, Danny would eventually succumb to the pull of evil, and turn into Dan. His future would become truth, and he would destroy the Earth and the Ghost Zone. That city is the future of Amity Park, his old home."

As Arella explained this, the events from Ultimate Enemy played in front of them. Dan Phantom destroying the shield, and going for the city, blasting buildings to pieces and using his Ghostly Wail to devastate everything.

Nothing was left in the end. Raven slumped to her knees, and tears fell down. 'No, no! This can't be!'

"The Teen Titans never became without you, and they couldn't fight him either. The Earth, would be doomed."

"My birth is the reason Earth still exists? But, I was destined to end it!" Raven exclaimed, getting back to feet. She glared at her mother for telling those lies.

"But you didn't. You thwarted the fate your father, Trigon, bestowed upon you. Your friends helped you, and so did Danny. Never wish for something to not happen, my daughter. Everything has a purpose." Arella explained, placing a comforting hand on Raven's shoulder. She looked up at her mother, realizing the woman was telling the truth. A small smile appeared on her face. A true, genuine smile. She didn't feel guilty anymore, because she realized that everything has a purpose.

"All is meant to be." A new voice spoke up. Both turned to the source, and an elderly man with long beard and staff in hand appeared from a blue portal. Raven her smile dropped a little at the sight of the strange ghost, but then it struck her.

"Clockwork?"

"Yes, young Raven. I am here because Daniel is my responsibility, and because of your relationship with him, so have you become my responsibility." Clockwork explained, the ghost reverting to his young age. Raven wasn't fazed by it, although it made her a little curious. She nodded her head in understanding.

"You had to show me that I shouldn't feel guilty for what happened." Raven deduced. Clockwork smiled at her, showing she got it right.

"Never doubt your feelings, young one. They might one day safe your life."

Raven smiled at the ghost of time, and turned to her mother. Arella returned the smile, and took a final moment to hug her child. Raven was startled for a moment, but returned the embrace with gladness.

"I love you, mom."

"I love you too, my little Raven. Now, my child, it is time for you to wake up."

"Wake up."

"Wake up!"

"Eh? Huh?" Raven groaned, eyes opening groggily. She was fazed with concerned blue eyes, and Danny sighed in relief before making some space between him and his girlfriend. She got upright, a bit startled with the sudden change.

"Good, you're awake. For a second there I thought I would have to try a different way of getting you to wake up."

"What happened?" Raven asked, looking around the room. No sign of her mother, or Clockwork. Was it a dream?

"You fell asleep. The others checked in when you slept, they haven't found anything yet." Danny explained to her. She nodded, but deep inside her mind she knew that that wasn't a normal dream. Nevertheless, she no longer felt the guilt from earlier.

"But that isn't the only thing that happened." Danny continued, catching her attention. She raised an eyebrow.

"What else happened?" She asked, now getting a little curious. What could he be talking about that got him a little bit unnerved, or was it nervous?

"Listen to my thoughts."

She did as he told her, and she focused in on his thoughts. At first the empath heard nothing in Danny's mind, but then a voice came that she really did not expect to hear.

'Hey Raven. What's up?'

"Danielle?!"

Terra walked through the dark halls. She turned a corner, and stopped as the door leading into her chosen room appeared in front of her. She gulped, forcing the lump in her throat down. Not the time to get nervous.

Opening the door, she found herself in a massive cave, rocky walls and a few pillars keeping the ceiling up. Pools of mud covered the ground, and all sorts of metal tools and scaffolding was scattered around, like it was being turned into a new room.

She raised an eyebrow, but suddenly felt something to her right. She trusted her instincts, especially when the sound followed, and dodged a piece of rock being thrown to her. She rolled over the ground and landed on one knee, a glare aimed at wherever the attack came from.

In the dark shadow of the part that wasn't illuminated by the lights in the rock, a figure was standing. A dark yellow glow appeared around its hands, and Terra her eyes widened before dodging another rock.

"Show yourself, coward!" She taunted, taking a loose rock and throwing it to the shadow. It broke to pieces as a darker yellow glow took control over it. The blonde felt something inside her telling her to run, to get out of there.

"Who calls someone a coward, huh?"

Terra her eyes widened to dishes, that voice sounding almost like hers, just darker, more mencacing. She frowned as the figure finally emerged from the shadows.

Standing on a higher portion of the cave was a robotic version of Terra, the same neural suit as she once wore when working for Slade. The blonde gritted her teeth in disgust at the mechanical copy. A smirk played on the technological Terra's metal face.

"How does it feel, facing yourself? This is what you became when you worked for Slade. I am a copy of you, Terra. Just, better."

"You're nothing like me!" Terra declared, throwing rocks at the robotic copy. Robo-Terra dodged one, and took a stronger hold of the second, using it as a floating platform. That same smirk was on its face.

"Perhaps not. I'm stronger than you."

That started to make Terra's blood boil. She tried to get a hold of the rock that mechanical abomination was standing on, but it was like it wouldn't listen to her! The smirk on the robot's face only grew, and was almost menacing. Terra changed tactics, using the rocks she could use from the cave to try and hit the copy.

They went around like that, Terra throwing rocks and her copy either dodging, destroying the rocks or taking control of them and hurdling them back to her. The blonde dodged another one, and stepped into one of the mud-puddles.

The robot's eyes shimmered, and suddenly Terra found the mud underneath her crawling up her body. She tried to shake it off, to get it under control, but it didn't listen. She kicked it off, and ran away from the puddles that all started flowing towards her. Like a muddy wave was following her!

She reached some scaffolding and got on top, hoping to avoid the mud. It gathered underneath the scaffold, but didn't seem to start climbing up. Why isn't that robot doing anything now?

"You have so much more potential. All you need is to unlock it. Slade can help you. He made me, and I'm able of things you could never dream off!" The robotic Terra declared as she reshaped the rock she was standing on to form a floating stone throne. From the earth, gold and gems shot up, and they were molded and shaped to form a crown. The metal of the scaffolding started shaking, and the metal bars suddenly broke apart, the entire structure collapsing.

Terra fell down, screaming as she did. The blonde landed in the mud, and got soaked in it. Suddenly, it hardened around her feet and hands, and the rest flowed over her arms and legs, hardening as it did. Soon, she was trapped in solid rock, limbs stuck. She tried to break it, but one of the metal bars floated up and wrapped itself around her. She was freed from the rock, but now was stuck in a snake-hold from the metal bar, wrapped around her body and keeping her hands down. She tried to focus, but the bar tightened around her and she screamed in pain.

"Join us, Terra. Become the princess you are, and one day, a queen." The robot-Terra offered, extending a hand. Terra looked at the hand, back to the robot, and glared. She spit on the ground, and turned her head away.

"I'll never join you. I won't betray my friends, I won't leave Beast Boy behind!"

The smirk on the robot's face faded away into a frown, and the hand returned to its side. Suddenly, those robotic eyes turned yellow, and Terra was launched into the ground. It seemed to bend at wills command, turning to a liquid-like state and swallowing the blonde up. She trashed and screamed, trying to escape.

"Beast Bo-!" She couldn't finish, head disappearing underneath the rock. The robotic Terra floated down to the ground, a smirk on her face as she stepped from her stone throne and kicked some dust over the spot the 'traitor' vanished into.

From behind the robotic copy, Slade appeared. He placed a hand on his creation's shoulder, and a smile appeared on its metal face.

"I did well, didn't I, Father?"

"Yes, you did very well, Terra." Slade said with a dark, much darker underline.

He has plans for the blonde, and then he will do what he promised.

The ground above opened up, and Terra fell down. The metal bar around her shattered to pieces, and she was free. The blonde groaned as she got up, regaining her consciousness and getting her bearings back.

She looked around, finding herself in pure darkness. Her eyes weren't adjusted, and she tried to feel around.

Her hand grabbed a metal bar. The blonde frowned, and her other hand hovered in the air, searching for something else.

Another metal bar.

Suddenly, a light went on above her. She blinked as it blinded her temporarily. After getting the spots in her vision to go away, she looked around, and a crestfallen look came to her face.

She was in a large room. A room filled with all sorts of tools lying on tables, and she swore some of those things are not medically approved! The examination table was almost threatening, and she really started to hate those things.

And then she saw where she herself was in.

A cage.

A metal cage.

Wait a second…

She focused, trying to get a grip on the metal of the bars. Before she could go further, something snapped around her neck. Her eyes shot open in fear, and a scream erupted from her throat as electricity coursed through her body. She spasmed, letting go of the bars and losing her mental grip on them as well. The blonde dropped the ground, and the shock finally ended.

She already understood the rule.

No escape, or pain follows.

Excruciating pain.

Tears appeared in her eyes, and Terra gathered together in a ball, whimpering in fear. Fear for her life.

"…Beast Boy."

She prayed for her survival.

Author's note: And with that cliffhanger, I leave you alone for now. I'm evil, you can say it if you will, it won't bother me.

Anyways, anyone should have guessed I wasn't going to really kill Danny, right? I mean, he's one of the main-characters!

That's all, really. Remember to review, fav and follow. Until next time!

(P.S: I am going to try and keep this one to a three-parter, but don't expect too much.)
