Chapter 5

For those I love

Robin and the others stood there in shock. Fear crept through Robin. He coukdnt believe what just happened. Starfire was going to fight Backfire to death. Starfire folded her hand into a fist, a starbolt forming. Blackfire laughed. "Our battle is tomorrow. It will give you time to say goodbye to those pathetic friends.

She flew off. Robin ran over to her. He took her hand and led her to her room. "Starfire, are you crazy?" Starfire looked at him. "No, but she is right. We have to put an end to this fued. How can I live peacefully with you and our friends, knowing that she is always going to be a threat?"

"How can I know that my planet and its people are really safe? Blackfire has tormented me my whole life. It has to stop. I cannot fully let go and move on from my past if she is still a threat to those I love. I will never allow her to take those I love from me again."

"What if Blackfire hurts you?" Starfire looked at him. 'You don't think I can do it. You doubt my strength." Robin shook his head. "No, I do believe in you. This has nothing to do with your strength. But I have witnessed you almost dying. Your heart stopped, I never want to feel that psnic and pain again."

I told you Starfire, I can't lose you." Starfire walked over to him and put her hands on either side of his face. "I promise you Richard Grayson, that you won't lose me. I will come out of this alive, and then we will return to Earth and we will live happy together with our team. I promise."

Robin nodded. She hugged him. They laid down and Robin put his head on her chest, her heartbeat lulling him to sleep. She ran her fingers through his hair gently and soon fell asleep.

Starfire was standing in a beautiful white dress. It was her wedding day. She was getting married to her love. She made her way down the aisle and she stopped at the end and she took Robin's hand. Suddenly the room was full of smoke and screamin

She looked over and she saw her friends cut down one by one. "Raven! Beast boy! Cyborg!" she cried as their bodies laid in a pool of blood. She turned and Robin was gone. "Robin! Where are you?!" she cried as she looked around frantically.

She turned and looked back at the bodies of her companions. She walked to them slowly, tears running down her cheeks, dread in her heart. She dropped to her knees and she cried.

"Star?" she turned and Robin was covered in blood. "Why didn't you save our friends? Why didn't you save me? How can you live with what you've caused? We are dead because of YOU."

Starfire started to run. She stopped as the Titans surrounded her, covered in blood. "Why Star? Why? Why?" they all circled her repeating why. Starfire screamed and started to run again. "Koriand'r?" she turned to her family.

"Why weren't you there when we needed you? Why did you not leave to save us?" asked her mother. "I did everything could!" she felt a tag on her dress, she looked down to her little brother.

"Why sister?" Starfire's eyes filled with tears. She collapsed to her knees as the sobs overtook her body. She looked up and there stood Robin. "How can I love you? You are the reason that everyone you love is dead." Blood sprayed on her face. She looked in horror as Robin dropped.

Blackfire was there with a smile. Starfire ran her hand down her face and she looked at her hand covered in Robin's blood. She screamed in horror.

"Star! Star, wake up!" she bolted upright shuttering, sweat covering her. She put her face in her hands. Robin put a hand on her shoulder and she flinched. "What's wrong? Was it a nightmare?" She nodded. "Do you want to talk about it?" she shook her head.

She turned and clung to Robin. He wrapped his arms around her. Robin kissed her head. "Everything is okay. I'm here." Starfire nodded. The next morning Starfire got up early and walked to her closet. She changed into her armor. "You look just like the day you came to Earth."

Starfire smiled. "Seems like forever ago." Robin got up. "I don't like this Starfire. I think what I hate the most is that I can't be there to help you." Starfire walked up to him. "Robin, I can do this. Just believe in me." he noddedJust

She smiled. Starfire walked to the main hall of the palace where her friends and Galfore were waiting. "Princess, must you do this?" She nodded. "I need to protect those I love." She looked at the titans.

"We will be waiting here to take you home when this is all over." said Cyborg. She nodded. "Yes." she looked at Robin Joe last time. "I will return to you amica mea." Robin nodded. She approached the front room of the palace. There stood her sister.

"Ready to end this?" Starfire formed a starbolt in her hand. The others stood there on the stairs. "I wanted to tell you, when your dead, I plan on taking my rightful place on the throne. But I figured I would need some help from someone that hates you as much as I do."

Starfire scoffed. "Who did you get to help?" she asked, glaring at her sister. "I thought you'd never ask, dear Starfire." Her blood ran cold. "I was wondering where you disappeared off to after you attempted to fry my brain." Blackfire laughed. "Yea, I wish your brain remained fried and that you getting choked out reawakened your memories."

Everyone looked at herIn shock. "What you didn't think that Slade was the one who decided to fry her brain? It was me. I was his employer. I was the one that wanted her captured and her memory destroyed. That way she could suffer." They all looked in shock.

Slade laughed evilly. He looked at the titans. "So you are all here to witness Starfire being destroyed? Wonderful." He facedStarfire. "Wonderful. Oh I hope you don't mind, I brought some soldiers with me." He moved slightly. Everyone gasped.

There had to have been more that 1,000 soldiers. "You are crazy if you think I or anyone on Tamaran will allow you to take over our planet." She sent a starbolt and it struck him. "You don't belong on Tamaran. This is my home."

Starfire was struck with a lazer. "Starfire!" yelled Robin. Blackfire smiled and she looked at the others. "Slade is here to keep you occupied. Can't have you keeping sister alive. If I strike the deadly blow, I want her to stay dead. Can't have you saving her."

She faced Starfire. "Now, enough chatter. Come sister, let's battle." Blackfire and Starfire got into a fighting stance. Robin and the others got ready to battle Slade and his soldiers.

I know this one is a little short but the next one is longer. Leave a review and let me know what you think.
