Chapter 13: Retreat

"Titans Attack!" yelled Robin. The Titans splitted up in different directions so to confuse Clay. "Starfire, Raven, Bumblebee, Cyborg, and Speedy, pelter him with your projectiles!" ordered Robin. They agreed and began assaulting Clay with their powers.

Starfire and Bumblebee unleashed an aerial assault on Clay. Raven began tossing stuff to Clay and the two boys fired from the ground. Clay was engulfed in a sea of smoke.

"Titans, that's enough..." said Robin. The group halted their attack.

"I am sorry I have to do this friend..." yelled Starfire.

The smoke slowly dissipated to reveal Clay, unscratched and unharmed.

"Pathetic... And you call yourselves the protectors of earth?" said Clay. He then made a small ice crystal in his hand and hurled it to cyborg. It hit Cyborg in the head causing him to yell in frustration.

"Yo? What's the matter with you? You have to do better than that!" yelled Cyborg.

"I just did..." said Clay. The crystal on the ground exploded and everyone was frozen by the blast except Speedy and Robin.

"No! Quick Speedy, we hae to help the other Titans..." yelled Robin. Speedy nodded and they ran to where the now frozen Titans are.

"Not so fast you two..." said Clay and a wall of crystal blocked Robin and Speedy's way. "So... You're the one who leads this so called Teen Titans. Let's see how well you stand up against me..." said Clay. He descended to the ground and faced Robin.

"I won't let you touch Robin!" yelled Speedy and he fired his energy arrows at Clay. Clay dodged all of it with little or no effort.

"Awww... How sweet. I can yread your mind bow-boy. I know that you have a crush on Robin and I know how much you desire to be in bed with him... am I right?" asked Clay.

"Wha? How did? You're lying!" yelled Speedy.

"Am I?" said Clay and he freezed Speedy in a blink of an eye.

"Speedy! Grrr... We're friends Clay, but once you hurt my other friends, it gets personal!" yelled Robin and he pulled out his quarterstaff.

"Friends... Bah! If you want to be strong, then you should have no friends!" said Clay. and he made his scythe-like staff appear.

Robin and Clay commenced battle. Robin tried evry strategy he knows to beat Clay. From his birdarang to his freeze discs, he used all of his gadgets at Clay but all of them were ineffective.

"Tcheh... you're one tough opponent..." said Robin.

"Are you kidding Robin? I have absolute power, power that's beyond yours..." yelled Clay.

"Clay! I know there's still a part of you in there! Fight it Clay! I love you! Beastboy loves you! We all love you!" yelled Robin.

Suddenly Clays head began to ache. The pain was so overwhelming that Clay was thrown to his knees.

"Aaaaacchhhh... R-Robin..." muttered Clay. Robin rushed to Clay's side.

"Clay... are you okay..." asked Robin trying to comfort Clay.

"Aaaahh... Robin... I can't hold in my brother any longer... You have to get away from here. You need to hide..." said Clay. Clay began coughing out blood.

"Clay... But my friends are still frozen..." said Robin. Then Clay raised his hand and the ice that covered the other Titans were shattered.

"Hurry Robin... Beastboy is in the Church. Please rescue him and don't return to the tower... Please hurry..." begged Clay. Robin nodded and went back for the other Titans.

"Titans, retreat!" yelled Robin.

"What are you saying Robin? We can't retreat!" said Cyborg.

"If we don't it'll cost us our life." said Robin. Cyborg picked up Raven and Bumblebee and ran for it. Speedy carried Mas Y Menos. Robin carried Starfire. All of them ran for their life to the sewers. Robin was the last one to go in. He looked back at Clay and saw Clay being engulfed in a violet flame and he saw the ominous red glow on Clay's eyes. He quicly went down the manhole.
