Sorry that this had been this late. I had nearly been dead during the previous month. The prjects had killed me. Maybe what this webpage is written by a ghost! Just joking. :) Please enjoy anyone.
"Then what should we do now?" Starfire asked.
"We need to take down the Hives as soon as we can."Speedy turned to leave.
"Then how about this Hive?" Beastboy said pointing to Rainbow, or Luna.
She said nothing but looked out the window.
"Let's just lock her in the safety room while we take down the others. We would take care of her when we are back." Robin ordered.
"No, you can't." Luna, or Rainbow, finally said something.
"What? How dare could you still order us?" Beastboy walked to her.
"Because you know nothing, nothing about the Hives and Brotherblood. You all know nothing, you need my help." She stood tall; we finally notice that she is much taller than him.
"How could we trust you after Terra? She betrayed us and you will."
"I don't care what that Terra had done. I don't care that you treat me as her. I don't care that if you will keep this on and on. All I care is that you Titans need to stop Brotherblood right now and you need my help."
"Beastboy, please wake up from your dream. I don't care that Terra is a sweet dream or a nightmare. Please. We need to stop Brotherblood, right now. You don't know what he got in his hand. You don't know how dangerous it could be."
Then there were silence.
"Then what should we do now?" Starfire asked her previous question again.
"If you think that the green is right, lock me up." Rainbow, or Luna, answered in rage.
"I am so sorry but you have to make a decision. The Hives are now reaching the city water supply station, who knows that they might have toxics." Raven got up and chased after Aqualad who had already gone miles away after she had finished her second sentence."
"The weapon is much more dangerous than toxics." The Hive whispered.
"I am sorry but I guess we had a decision, we need to lock you up before we finish our mission." Robin sounded like an apologize
"Before you do so, just listen alright? Brotherblood is on hold of some dangerous virus, invented by Gizmo. Just trust me!" She stopped half way as Cyborg looked like that he wanted to ask.
"I don't exactly know how it works but it hurts a lot."
"Then how did you know that it is dangerous?" Beastboy protested.
"Because I am the victim."
"WHAT??" Cyborg yelled in surprise.
Rainbow, or Luna, looked back in a face of sadness.
"Brotherblood used me as a trial, to try out that killing virus. And no matter how hard I wish not to, it works."
"How could he do it?" Cyborg comforted her.
"No matter what, you need to stop him, right now." Rainbow turned to Robin.
"But…"
"GO!"
"Fine. Cy, get her to the safety room." Robin turned to leave.
"No." Cyborg's word stopped Robin from leaving.
"I think that we should trust her." Cyborg continued, "She is now the only one who can help us."
"But Cy…" Beastboy said.
"If she is not going, I am not going either. Everyone deserves a second chance, remember? That's what you meant when Terra went to Slade."
"Friend Cyborg, the signal rang fifteen minutes ago." She said as she Mas, Menos and Speedy made the way to follow Raven and Aqualad.
"Fine. We will deal with this when we are back." Robin made a conclusion, "Rainbow, are you coming or not?"
"As long as the green one agreed." Rainbow snapped as she walked towards the door.
"Fine." Beastboy had lost the fight, "But it is only for the city's sake." He morphed into an eagle and flew out without crushing with that girl, followed by Robin, Cyborg and Bumblebee.
They got to the garage. The T-Car was ready there. Cyborg took the driver seat and Rainbow took the one next to him. Beastboy took the leftist seat, Bumblebee was in the middle and Robin was on the right.
"Now, tell me what you know." Robin spoke carefully not to speak out her name.
"This is their new class project. That virus is very dangerous as I had said. Once, J…a Hive told me that there is no cure at all. We need to know how much students is used in this project, please."
Robin nodded as he took out his communicator, "Speedy, report."
The vision was not clear in the screen.
"Robin, I guess that they are serious this time. They nearly used the whole army, and those yellow robots were used, too. Raven!"
The vision lost immediately.
"Now we should go there and offer them back up immediately." Bumblebee said anxiously.
"You four would go there. I need to do something else." Rainbow said.
"What is more important than giving them back up? Are you deaf? Ra...The others are in danger. Do you know how much army they have?" Beastboy seemed to wish to start another fight.
"Oh yes there is. I am not deaf and I was a Hive, remember?" Rainbow answered each questions one by one as she climb out of the car window.
"Rain, where are you going?" Cyborg stopped the car.
"To give them a sudden attack." She started running and answered without looking back.
Soon, the four Titans reached the water supply center. The Titans were already fighting the Hives. Starfire was fighting Angel, Mas and Menos fought XL Terrestrial, Aqualad was fighting Billy Numerous, Speedy fought with a group of those yellow robots, and Raven was with Kyd Wykkyd. They would be defeated soon. Raven had scratches all over her face, Aqualad was bleeding on his arm and the others were totall exhausted.
"Okay now, split up and take them down." Robin said as they ran towards the others.
Their communicator rang crazily.
"Leave Brotherblood and Gizmo to me." It was Rainbow.
"How did you know that we are talking about splitting up?" Beastboy retorted.
"Just trust her." Cyborg yelled.
"Thanks, Vic." She said as her vision disappeared from the communicator.
Beastboy ran to Raven in a second, Bumblebee helped Aqualad with Billy Numerous, Robin fought Private Hive and Cyborg took care of Mammoth.
Soon, the Titans and Hives had started a grand war. The honorary Titans arrived very soon. It became a fair fight.
Most of the Hives and the robots are occupied by the Titans, except the headmaster, Brotherblood, and his favorite student, Gizmo. They looked at the fight. The Hive army was large but they were going to be defeated, sooner or later.
"Gizmo, I know that you want to fight. But there is something more important to do." Brotherblood said as he saw Gizmo wishing to fight.
"Yes, sir." Gizmo said, went back to his original position.
"I guess you better go. There won't be a second chance because you are going to be in jail after tonight." A feminine voice came from the back.
"Who's there?" Gizmo turned around as Brotherblood did not make a move.
"Luna." Brotherblood said without a sense of surprise.
"No. Not Luna but Rainbow." Rainbow stepped out of the shadow.
"Luna?! You betrayal!" Gizmo aimed his blaster towards her.
"You won't fire it, you coward." Rainbow teased.
"Gizmo, we have the secret weapon remember?" Brotherblood reminded.
"Oh. I got it." Gizmo took out a box.
"I am sure that you the effect about this the most, right, my former student?" Brotherblood gave her a wicked smile.
"If I were you, I will not try." She said as Gizmo tried to open the box.
"What?" He stopped.
"Would you like to see what did you give me?"
"What?"
"This." She said as she put her hand in her back. When she took it out again, she whispered to her hand, "My dear, show him a lesson."
She spread out her hand. Her sleeve looked like being wrapped tightly around by a rope. She let the invisible creature land on the floor.
"A snake! Get it off me!" Gizmo hopped around and around.
"Told you." She laughed.
"Gizmo, is that the 'side effect' that you had told me?" Brotherblood's eyes turned red and turned to Gizmo.
"No… headmaster…I mean…" Gizmo said timidly.
"Explain everything to me, NOW!!"
Brotherblood and Gizmo move aside. It left Rainbow oddly standing at her own place. She bent sown and picked up a stone, which was only visible to her. She aimed and threw.
"Ouch. That hurts. Who is that?" Beastboy jumped up, this scared both Raven and Kyd Wykkyd.
Raven knew exactly who did this. She kicked Beastboy's left leg and turned to Kyd Wykkyd.
"Raven, what's that?" Beastboy turned around and said. Raven and Kyd Wykkyd had teleported away for their fight.
Because of this turn, he found who did that, Rainbow.
Rainbow stared at him, trying to give him a signal without getting attention from Brotherblood. She moved her head to Gizmo slightly. Then, she scratched her hand.
"Gizmo… hand…the box?" He asked silently as Rainbow read his lip.
She nodded.
Beastboy stood there, moved not even a centimeter. What if she is lying? She always had been. What if this is a trap? What if… she is telling the truth?
"Trust me, for the only time." She whispered as she threw a small, visible switch behind Brotherblood.
"Headmaster! How about me? Am I going to be punished too because Gizmo gave me my power?" Rainbow yelled out.
"How dare you interrupt my word?" Brotherblood turned round. Rainbow stepped a step backwards.
"Don't step any closer." Rainbow was scared; at least she looked to be.
"What if I do?" Brotherblood stepped a step closer.
"Well, nothing to happen here. But the Hive Academy is going to collapse!" Rainbow stepped backwards forcefully.
Brotherblood looked towards the site of the Hive Academy. It was true.
"Headmaster! The virus was gone!" Gizmo jumped up, getting the whole world's attention.
"Hello!" Beastboy waved his hands; the box was in his right hand.
"Titans Go!" Robin announced.

"Boo ya!"
"Victory!"
"Dude, we win!"
"Yeah!"
"Can we go now?"
Soon, the Titans were again in the Titans tower. This time everyone was smiling with no doubt, they had just turned the whole Hive Academy to jail.
"Wait friends, why aren't Kid Flash and Jinx here?" Starfire asked as she stopped her third check in the living room.
"Yeah, why hadn't we notice that?" Robin looked up from the computer.
"Don't worry. Jinx is coming." Rainbow answered from the couch.
"You know Jinx?" Cyborg asked.
"Sure. I was a Hive remember? How many times had I said that?" Rainbow snapped his shoulder.
At this time, a yellow-red flash appeared. A second or two later, there was a furious knock on the door. Robin went to open the door.
"Rain!" Jinx rushed into the room immediately when Robin opened the door.
"Wow, are you fine Flash?" Kid Flash was lying deadly on the ground.
"Would you be fine if you ran from Steel City to here and you were carrying another person?" Kid Flash answered deadly.
"I guess you would like to go to the infirmary? Raven is there. You… look like that you need help." Robin poked him.
"I had never wanted to see her that much." He lied unconscious.
"Rain! Are you fine?" Jinx ran into the room at that moment.
"Jinx. I miss you." The two girls hugged.
"The relationship messed up my mind. Are their any relation map?" Beastboy crumbled onto the sofa.
"This is a long story." Rainbow started.
"Vic, remember the day that you graduate? That was the most faithful day in my life. Before that ceremony, I received a phone call from my aunt. She told me that my parents… were… killed in a car accident."
"I enjoyed my last two hours of happiness, with you. But after that, there is a lot that I need to worry about. In coincident, I found the Hive Academy."
"At first, I felt that it is just another academy which offers places for students to stay in for free. I had even thought that the headmaster is very generous because he offered me the education for free. I met lots of friends and Jinx was my best friend. In the Hive Academy, I use the name Luna, in case I need to leave."
"He gave me a place in the language department, which I was very good at when I am in high school. He gave me lots of chance to write in Chinese. It was forbidden in my old school. Those compositions were alright at first, like notices and passages of the exercise examples for the others."
"It soon became another thing. When Brotherblood thought that I may be trusted, he gave me other things to write on, mostly threatening letters. I once asked him why, he just told me that this could improve my writing skills."
"One day, Jinx told me that they never write. All they did were fighting and military training. I found it mystery so I asked Gizmo, who is in the technology department, for more information."
"He told me that they were creating a kind of virus. He told me nothing more because Brotherblood entered the room at that time. He told me to come out. I was used to test the virus because I knew something about it, and I am not ought to."
"I did not know how serious it was. Nothing happened for a month or so. A lot of things had happened in that month, Jinx left the Hive Academy, and the Hive Five was set up. Eventually, she joined the Titans. Brotherblood never let me to go out the school campus for a second."
"Late doesn't mean that it was not going to happen. It was true. In that faithful morning, I woke up, feeling like riding on a roller coaster. I tried to walk but it felt like walking on the moon. I fainted onto the ground. Someone called the headmaster for help but all he did was making a phone call, to Gizmo."
"I decided to escape, but how? I remembered Jinx and phoned her. She helped me out."
She stopped and Jinx continued, "I made a plan for her. It is be perfect. As soon as Rain came out from the Hive Academy, we would meet and wait for the first criminal to attack the city and made it liked a coincident. It made more sense that Cinderblock attacked the China town. We thought that you Titans would help her. There were some difficulties to make you believe her after Terra. Fortunately, you Titans let her stayed in the tower as we thought but we had never thought that you would actually let her join the team."
"The biggest problem is, Gizmo's virus is still here and it is getting more serious every day. Rain gave me a call and before it was finished, it was cut. So I decided to come here from Steel City tonight. How knows that Brotherblood started his attack tonight? What a coincident."
"Actually, I had already got my power for years. When I leave the T-Car, I went to the Hive Academy and set a bomb there. They had not even change the password since I left, stupid. I had learnt drama since first grade but I had never thought that it is so simple to cheat Brotherblood." Rainbow said as Bumblebee and Cyborg laughed crazily.
"At least it is over now. That virus is saved, the Hives are captured, and we are home. Bravo!" Rainbow jumped up from the sofa and did a somersault, landing safely on the ground.
"Oh yes friend Jinx. How did you arrive here? Even if we travel by car, it takes nearly half a day!" Starfire asked.
"Flas…" Jinx covered her mouth and ran towards the door.
"He's in the infirmary. Don't worry he is just exhausted." Robin popped out from the living room's door.
Everyone saw a pink tornado disappeared in a second and heard Raven screamed at the next.
"Why don't we play Mega Monkeys 4.2?" Beastboy suggested as he pulled Rainbow by her right hand.
"No. Friend Rain should try my Rouphma pudding first." Starfire said as she pulled her left hand.
"Neither! We should release Rainbow!" Rainbow yelled as she is nearly being torn apart.
"Yes neither. Didn't you promise me to tell me some secrets of Sparky?" Bumblebee came to help.
"Oh yes! How could I forget?" Rainbow was a born actress.
"No, Rain. Don't tell her. I am serious." Cyborg shouted as the girls laughed, rolling on the floor.
Robin went to Cyborg, wishing not to be seen or heard.
"Cy, Raven told me that she needs you at the infirmary, as soon as possible." He whispered.
He added, "She sounded serious."
"Cy, you are finally here." Raven seemed to be waited for years.
"What's that Rae? I hate mystery." Cyborg came into the room.
"Jinx, can I have a minute please?" Raven turned to Jinx.
She continued, "This is something more important than waiting for Kid Flash to wake up from his sweet dream." Indeed, his drools are all over his right cheek.
"It is really lucky that we can stop Brotherblood in time." She started.
"What does that mean?" Cyborg asked.
"That virus is a kind of really serious thing. I mean really serious." She turned to the computer and typed a few word.
"Please don't tell me that it isn't what I think." Jinx shook her head violently.
"Sorry, but it is. The virus is a kind of strong killing weapon." Raven said as the monitor shown a few combination of chemical.
"You don't mean that don't you." Cyborg said, but it is more like a whisper.
"I guess that we better tell her as soon as possible. Wait, what day is today?" Raven said as she prepared to teleport them.
"Seventh of October." Jinx answered.
"Raven, please just tell me. How long does she have?" Cyborg begged.
"She…she probably cannot pass this year." Raven turned her head.
She stopped like she did not wish to say any more.
"And that's the maximum." She said as she teleport them away.
Who knows that the portal was opened on the roof? Raven can fly and Jinx landed gracefully but Cyborg fell to the ground with a loud BANG.
"Did you plan that?" Jinx asked Raven as she land.
"Just want to give a little humor before the serious thing." Raven answered.
"What's that, anything surprising?" Robin asked.
"What can be more surprising than Cyborg falling from the roof and it is Raven's trick?" Beastboy broke into a loud laughter.
"We need so solemn atmosphere." Raven cooled down the environment.
"Can we have an encore, please?" Rainbow asked as she and Bumblebee giggled.
"Rain, this is about you and it really is serious." Cyborg had never been that quite.
All of them shut up their mouth. It had never been that quite, that solemn.
"Just tell. I had been always prepared." Rainbow looked directly to Raven, knowing that she was the one who was going to talk.
She took a long breath and started, "Rain, You must already know the virus inside your body."
Rainbow nodded.
"With the information I had just got, the virus is mortal."
"I also found something from one of my book," She showed them a book with blue pages, "an ancient spell from England, in a book that Malchior left me."
Everyone looked down. From the day the dragon betrayed her, she had never talk about any of her books.
"The spell is the most effective healing spell in the world. Every kind of illness, toxic and harms can be healed but the user has to pay her wage. The user would feel like rebirth, her memories would be lost, entirely and eternally."
All eyes were set on Rainbow, wishing her to say anything. But all they had got was silence.
"Rain, it is your life. It is your choice." Raven walked to Rainbow and whispered to her ear.
