Chapter 2

The alarm rang at Titan's Tower. "Titans - trouble!" Cyborg yelled out. Cyborg was the eldest of the team – and while often Robin is considered to be the team leader, Cyborg has the tendency to be more responsible and more connected to the team.

"Cyborg report!" Robin demanded.

"Cinderblock and Slade are attacking the city," Cyborg replied as he turned on the video screen, what they saw made all the Titans gasp. "And evidently their – GIANTS!"

"We can barely fight them when their normal sized – how are we supposed to fight them now?" Beast Boy complained – he has always been the youngest and shortest on the team, even when Terra had joined.

"We have to try, Titans go!" Raven yelled out the team's near famous battle cry – and the heroes raced towards Cyborg's T-car – their primary source of transportation. It was only a matter of seconds till they got to the scene – mainly because both extra-large villains happened to be right outside the tower! Starfire flew out the ceiling window of the car – but was quickly smashed into the wall by Cinderblock (just to let you know, Cinderblock's looks are really self explanatory).

"Starfire!" Robin yelled out, as he attempted to get to her, the Bo staff Slade was carrying knocked him out of the way unconscious. Slade is arguably the Titan's most challenging villain. He wears a gray and black body suit, with a half black, half orange mask. Most other villains either fight under Slade's rule, or are too weak to even serve him. It was Slade that had offered Terra security when she was scared her powers would lead to her friends hating her. Terra considered him to be offering a fair deal – however she did not realize what he was offering was not free. After their training, Slade informed her that she was now in debt to him.

Now Cyborg got out, quickly turning his arm into a cannon blaster and firing at Cinderblock. Raven snuck behind Slade – who was focusing on Robin's knocked-out body – grabbing a truck and throwing it at him. Both of these attacked seemed to only pester the two villains, Cinderblock grabbed Cyborg as Raven was trapped by Slade, and the two giants threw our heroes at each other – the impact knocking both of them out cold.

Last was Beast Boy, who turned into an elephant, and charged – Slade and Cinderblock were standing side by side. Suddenly, right before he was going to make impact, both villains jumped, and try as he might, Beast Boy couldn't prevent himself from crashing into the wall that took their place.

Hours later – the Titans woke up to a burning city – chaos surrounded them, as civilians ran screaming – hysterical and in disbelief that the Titans – their Titans – had lost.

"Duuuuuuuude, what happened?" Beast Boy rubbed his head as he sat up.

"They destroyed us."

"Ohmygod CYBORG!! NOOOO!"

"Beast Boy would you shut up! I'm fine, just hand me my arm over there."

"Oh ... sure." Beast Boy got up, and ran to grab Cyborg's missing arm.

"How can we stop them?" Raven spoke up and the others began to join in the conversation.

"Robin – can we not defeat these two villains?"

"I don't know Star – I just don't know."

Terra's Point of View

I can't go back. Why you ask?

Because I have to protect them.

That's right - protect them - I said it. Of course I'm protecting them – why do you think I didn't come out of the rock until I was forced out of it? What? That surprises you too? Oh please – it's like Robin said – "You can only save yourself." Words I lived by – or perhaps more literally stood by – until Trigon came along. I mean seriously, of course I could've popped out – I mean in case you didn't notice, I kinda control rocks, but that statue was my punishment – it was the only way I could bear to live. And then on that damn day – when despite my efforts, it released me - I had to come up with a plan. I had to forget my past life – punish myself by being so close to them – and yet so far away. Punish myself by hurting Beast Boy. But even that – the worse thing I could think of, was not enough – so I punished myself with the cuts on my wrist. Sadly that pain wasn't enough either, but then lucky for me Beast Boy tried to convince me to come back – and I could reject him.

That pain was more than I could imagine ... and it was enough.

End Chapter.

Sorry it took me so long to update- by the way don't hate Terra because of that last section – she's supposed to sound cold – it'll be explained as the story progresses – however the title is kinda a giveaway to what will happen in the upcoming chapters.
