Quetzalcoatl and the Wolf

Chapter 83: Between Worlds

A/

"Alice, you have to —

Ugh…!" Alice answered as she was grabbed by one leader of the Titans and brought to her knees. "No!" Yelling in a voice that was sort of high she kicked Robin in a place he didn't want to be kicked…

"Hey! He was talking to you —

Ow!" Cyborg was hit on the head by her metal staff on purpose as she tried to flee from the group. Starfire was mad when she found her. "YOU HAVE MADE A MOVCKERY OF MY FRIENDS AND MY SELF FOR TOO LONG!" She dove at the teen until it became clear that both were equally crazed enough. "Star, Don't hurt her, we need her power to save the others!" Robin wrestled her off of a screaming crying girl on the ground that'd been in a fight with another. "You ok Alice…?" Cyborg held out his hand till she dried her eyes, got calm and swat it away from her face. "No, I'm fine." She said coldly. Getting up she walked past Robin and brushed shoulders. Her eyes when they had done this went solid. Now she held her staff about her head and began to spellcast.

But before she could go, Terra and the wolf spirit had come right on time through a time portal and to the spirit world itself in the past. "Got a problem, bub?" Asked the wolf annoyed, while standing tall with Terra in his arms. "Terra!"

Exclaimed Beastboy as he ran to her. "Told you she'd be here." The wolf told its master. Bb stopped as soon as it had uttered those words. "What told you? Him?" He looked at Slade and his eyes grew to the size of something big and hairy. A saber tooth tiger was his next challenge to face up against. The wolf became whole again as it dropped Terra and Raven was starting to wake.

For some odd reason Terra was ok. She'd not fallen but was held up by a strange power in mid air that landed her down gently. "Whoa!" So now it was Cyborg's turn to be another Beastboy.

Alice saw over to the new girl. "Her power…" She whispered. "Could it be?"

"Terra has returned to us, all she needs now is a little…motivation." Robin gasped as Slade went straight for her.

All He needed was a little, motivation. Robin froze at those exact words having no where to run. Had Slade really made an effort without lifting a finger? Why? And how was Terra connected to all this….

"Robin, how nice of you to join us." Robin was still stuck all in the area. "Don't listen to him, fight back! —

Ugh…He…He has power over anyone who's name he knows!" Alice cried over the wind. Robin gasped. That was how? Wow, was he ever —

I'd love to stay and chat, but I've business to attend." The wolf was now by his side. "Take him out." He told the wolf.

"Won't you be joining us, Richard?" The wolf asked patiently. "No chance Sla —Ugh!

Hey!" The serpent figure Slade had sent to spy now was attacking Robin. If he got bitten, that was it, game over…

"Get that thing away from him!" Starfire cried at the top of her lungs. She rushed over letting go of Alice who'd already gotten free from the others in a millisecond. Alice was back, Arisu was gone, Terra was back and unconscious, and the others were in deep trouble. With Slade having the idea that this would be a good time to leave them all, he was seriously hoping himself right. Beastboy limped over to Terra's form and Robin was spell struck by the casting Slade had made him a part of.

"If you ever wish to save her Roku, then come before it's too late." Slade said. Robin let the poison snake fall to his feet and nodded or rather Roku did. Coming forth without a soul in the world but Slade to guide him; had Slade really won?

"Robin do not listen, he lies, you do not belong there! Come back with us…" she pleaded. But Robin was not in the mood for such foolishness. "No."

Roku's darkness was not present but young Rokuro's fear was. Stepping back knowing things would and could happen Slade decided it would be best not to bring his apprentice back until the storm had settled. Passing on the thought to the wolf, Alice at least had some idea of their planning skills. "Beastboy, I'll see to Terra. You go after Robin and you three, get them!" As she said this strength filled the bodies and minds of each titan, and even robin was hit from a blast of her powerful staff.

"Why'd you give the kid a weapon my lord?" Asked the wolf. Slade stared at him. "For precaution dear friend, precaution." He answered back. "Robin will come to us, through the power of his own guilt. I assure you dearly he will not be missed."

With a single wave of his palm, Slade had opened another portal to a new world entirely.

"He's gone…NO!" Robin fell to his knees and pounded the ground with his gloved fist. "No…" Starfire flew up to him. "Robin, we will find him, do not —

Do I look worried Star? Do I?!"

"Whoa man, chill. He's gone! We can't just…Robin? —

You guys do what you want, I'm going after Slade." As he trudged on with his hurt shoulder out of place Raven stopped him. "Be reasonable about this, he's not coming back until he heals." She said loudly. Robin glared at her. "I don't care if he gets eaten alive in the world he's in, I want him —

Captured?"

"Not living?" Interrupted the girls. "He won't be back until the crystal activates again." Alice started. The group looked at her. "Hey! It isn't very polite to stare." She said dusting off her suit. And dress. "What crystal? No one —

Ohh…" Verra had mentioned as well as Wizzy that there were crystals with phenomenal powers to gain access to. Beastboy shook his head smirking. Raven frowned. "PLEASE Don't do that…"

"Gasp Friend Wizardmon, Kayumon and Verra! We have forgotten them in the castle!" Starfire was right. No way were any working for Roku anymore. "You have a point, would hate to leave them here."

The group looked about the grounds. "Who said that?" asked Bb

"Is there someone there?" Starfire asked cautiously. Out of the air fell a lovable ball of white. It was good Calumon! And next came Verra and Wizardmon from the sky! A whole bunch of surprises…

As well as a guardian animal from the sky as it landed on its paws. It was a mix between a cat and dog. "What's that?" Raven leaned in on it. Seeing it didn't have a name to go by the group decided to see if it would use a power of a sort to tell them. By Verra's rules. "It's a mix between you Kayu and Mokona…That's what we call caffeine."

The thing began to burst into oblivion as a note fell from the place it had exploded. "AHH! DID YOU SEE —

Yeah we saw Bb, poor little guy…" Picking up the note, Robin opened up the parcel in a haste. "It's a message. From the…Goddesses of….Dark and Light. To…The palace in the stars? " Verra gaped at the boy when he'd heard such words in sentence form come out of the young teen's mouth. "GODDESS!!" He exclaimed.

What's gonna happen….
