I am so sorry that I am uploading a day later than I promised. My school trip got back yesterday afternoon and I was so tired I had a small headache. Unfortunately, being on a 3 day trip where you are physically exerting yourself fully everyday is not excuse for no homework. So, as soon as I got home I had like 2 hours of homework to do. Anyway, enough ranting. On my trip, I had more down time than I expected so I am uploading two chapters. Yay! I also want to say thank you so much for reviewing and putting this fic on story alert. So think of the 2nd chapter as a kind of reward as well. As you may have noticed I have bumped up the fic rating to T so I can have a bit more freedom. (for future chapters) I probably should have told you this last chapter but this story is currently un-betaed. (Is that a word?) Do you guys think I should get a beta reader for this story? If I do then it would mean updates would take longer. Also, if you guys think I should have a beta reader then do you want to be the beta reader? Post a review to let me know. Speaking of reviews, reviews will always be answered at the bottom. BTW, after looking at the lyrics to Missing and thinking (*gasp*), I am predicting that this fic will be about 18 chapters long. So, thank you for sitting through this long and boring author's note (or standing, I don't really care). Reviews are encouraged, constructive criticism is welcomed, and flames are accepted. I need something to keep me warm this winter. Please excuse any OOCness with any of the characters. Now, without further ado, on with the fic!

Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans or the song Missing by Evanescence. Anyone who thinks so is an idiot.

"..."=character talking

'...'=character thinking

Maybe someday you'll look up

And barely conscious, you'll say to no one

"Isn't something missing?"

"Titans, GO!" Robin yelled.

Starfire rose up to face Kardiak with starbolts already glowing in her hands. This was a trickier mission because civilians were trapped inside it. Their best chance was to rip off all of its "arteries" or puncture a hole big enough for the civilians to crawl out of. So she aimed at the base of the tentacles. The starbolts didn't seem to affect it at all. It then knocked Starfire into an office building. Luckily, it had been evacuated except for an old janitor. He yelped in surprise when Starfire came flying in through the window.

"Starfire!" Robin yelled as he reached out to her. He then turned towards Kardiak while pulling out and expanding his Bo-staff. Jumping up, he aimed a flying high-kick at another one of Kardiak's tentacles. What he didn't see was the tentacle coming up from under him and knocking him off balance. Kardiak sucked him into itself along with a few more civilians. Robin pounded against the membrane. "Hey! Let me out!"

"Yo! That's not cool!" shouted Cyborg as he charged up his sonic cannon. Kardiak suddenly threw a bush at Cyborg to jam his sonic cannon while knocking him out at the same time. It eventually grew tired of Robin's incessant pounding and filled itself with knockout gas. Robin had a gas mask in his utility belt but he couldn't get it out fast enough and soon slumped over, unconscious, along with the rest of the civilians.

Unexpectedly, a rock came flying towards Kardiak. It was unable to react in time and one of its tentacles got chopped off. Terra aimed another rock towards another artery. Kardiak was ready this time and caught the rock. It then flung it back at Terra. Taken aback, she couldn't stop the rock in time and she got knocked unconscious.

"Terra!" Beastboy cried. He turned into a cheetah and clamped on to one of Kardiak's arteries. When a tentacle swung towards him, he turned into a hawk and flew up high. He then dive bombed hoping that he could puncture a hole in Kardiak's membrane. Another tentacle swung towards him and this time he was moving too quickly to evade it. Just as he was starting to black out, he suddenly wondered, "Where's Raven?" His thoughts then clouded and his vision went black.

To be continued...

I'll upload the next chapter sometime tonight. Right now, I have to do science homework. *ugh* So, what did you think. This is the first action scene I have ever written. If you guys have any constructive criticism for me that would be great! I'll upload the next chapter soon. Bye!
