Chapter 12
Slade ran as fast as he could, he should have killed these primitive apes when he had the chance. He had decided to spare them simply because it would have taken time and resources to wipe them out. At least this gave Robin time to get back to the house. Slade could beat the natives back easy, this may be their island but he knew it much better then they did thanks to his computer scanner.
However Slade soon realized he had not been watching where he was running and he found himself running right into a dead end. The exact same dead-end that he had chased Robin to. He could easily have out run these animals, but out climbing them was impossible. The 1st time he had fought these beasts he had learned what they lack for in speed they make up for in their ability to climb.
He had no choice however and started to scale the large rock face. Before Slade even got his foot half way up to put it in the first big crevice he heard a snap. Turning around Slade found the creatures surrounded him. He hadn't had a good fight since his last clash with the Titans. Slade smiled and went to take a step forward, just then from up above him he heard a noise and Robin dropped down to land before Slade; he held a staff of bamboo in each hand.
The huge man looked upon the short little teenage boy and at first didn't say anything. Then finding his sense of thought he spoke, "Robin! What are you doing here! You were supposed to head back to the house!"
"I didn't know the way, besides I wasn't going to let you have all the fun." He tossed one of the staffs to Slade who caught it, the boy smiled and Slade could not help but give an evil smirk back. Slade came to stand next to Robin and as the creatures slowly moved in Robin and Slade let out a cry for battle and the two launched themselves into the thickness of the group.
Slade swung his bamboo pole and it smashed into the jawbone of one of the animals, the beast gave out a cry and went flying into one of it's counter parts. Slade did a spin kick and took out three more with one swipe. Turning as he heard a cry behind from behind, Slade watched Robin strike one beast down and smash another in the face.
"Good stance!" He said while blocking an arrow with his bamboo, "Now, try that again but keep your arm straight."
"This isn't fencing class! Just because we slept together doesn't mean I am going to start taking your advice!" Robin said smashing another creature in the face. At this point he froze, as if the words that had come out of his mouth had shocked him.
"Why have you stopped fighting? Watch out!" Slade said as he flipped over a group of beasts. He landed in time to block a blow that could have broken Robin's skull in half. "Watch yourself boy!" Slade cried kicking Robin's bamboo pole in just the right way. It flung up into Slade hand and he handed it to Robin. "There is only about a half dozen left, let's take them down."
"We slept together…" Robin said, he voice almost inaudible over all the noise.
"Yes we did, but now is not the best time to talk about this."
"Are you kidding me?! It's the perfect time! Why did you do it! You took my virginity!" Robin said smashing the end of his bamboo into the chest of a creature that had charged him with a huge knife.
"Robin! Are you seriously going to talk about this now! We have more important matters to consider… such as… perhaps…" Slade ducked trying to avoid another arrow, "Where things lie now between you and your team?"
"That isn't important at all! You know my loyalty is to my team I have to go back! And you have to take me!" Robin dropped to the ground and swiped the feet of a creature out from under them, then he twirled and smashed his pole on their knee, a sickening crack ran out.
"I don't have to do any such thing. We will stay here as long as I see fit, and until you turn your back on your team permanently I. SEE. FIT!"
"So that is what all of this is about!? You getting me to sleep with you and trust you so I turn my back, not only on my team and family, but on my beliefs, my heart, and my training!"
"There is always room for new training, new beliefs, and a new family." Slade punched a beast in the jaw and it's teeth shattered. The few beasts that still remained up right grabbed the beasts that had fallen and started to run off. The two humans ignored the beast's retreat and stared at each other, both where breathing heavily.
"Nothing you could ever teach me or give me could replace them…" Robin said tightening his grip on his pole.
"Oh really? The look on your face last night said differently." Slade said smiling.
Robin growled and jumped forward, he slammed his bamboo pole onto Slade's and the next thing he knew they were in a heated fight.
A/N: So I know this took like 9 months to post the next chapter. Hopefully the next chapters wont take so long.
