Author's Note: I seriously wanted to make this so much longer but seeing as how there will be many chapters, I chose to stop here. I have to warn you that Starfire will be a little out of character but considering all the shit that will happen during this and the next chapter, I doubt anyone can blame her honestly, enjoy because this is where the story stops being fun and games.

Also forget to mention that this is two years after Tokyo In Trouble if anyone is wondering about the timeline, sorry for not saying that before. How Johnny and the others escaped will be explained later.

Flying at the speed of sound was always a wonderful experience for Starfire as she soared through the air with her mate, a small smile on her lips before she frowned, a serious expression on her face which quickly twisted into horror at the sight below the two Titans.

The streets were littered with bodies, mutilated, scarred, burning remains of human corpses created by the blast of the lives unable to escape the explosion, debris and torn up concrete and tar was everywhere making the two fly as fast as they could towards the one responsible.

Johnny Rancid rode hard from the Jump City police trying to apprehend him, a newly rebuild Wrexzilla far behind him and easily posing as a barrier against the humans as another brand new form of Wrex.

Johnny's loyal dog was keeping up to pace with it's owner, tearing it's metal fangs into the officers that got close with either themselves or their cars, ignoring the screams and cries for mercy or a quick death then trailing after it's master faithfully.

"God damn it, knew I shouldn't have trusted Professor Chang to create a distraction, but it's not my bomb so those stupid souls are not on my head. Worth every fucking penny." The villain mumbled to himself with a sneer, barely dodging the cop car that swiveled in front of him with a roll of his eyes.

An enormous green bag of cash, jewels and other forms of currency was slung over his back, more than enough to buy his own island if he wanted to, his sidekick barked a few yards behind him as he turned and saw the heroes approaching them fast.

"Shit, damn rotten nosed kids ain't going to fuck me up this time. You ain't gonna fuck me up this time, Titans!" He bellowed behind him, quickly whipping out an energy pistol expertly in his right hand and shot blindly into the air, making sure to keep his eyes on the road for any more of the pigs gunning for him.

One laser nearly got Beast Boy's left wing forcing him to dodge then morph into a falcon, allowing the Tamaranean beside him to quicken her own speed and forming a starbolt in one hand.

She aimed and sent it flying to her target's rear wheel as he evaded her with ease, he knew this game, he couldn't allow them to take him back to jail as he growled, amping up the gas and sped faster than Beast Boy was able to follow in his current form.

Beast Boy was getting exhausted and they had not even taken the bad guy down yet, this was getting ridiculous, where the hell were the other Titans? And what did Johnny do to make his bike go faster than a falcon?

Starfire had had enough of this chase, memories of her own species being torn apart, raped, butchered like cattle raced through her mind. She was only a little girl when she saw the death of a servant murdered before her eyes by the Gordanians, only six years old, this had to stop!

Invigorated by what she was forced to remember, those injured by the recent attacks and lives they couldn't save and adrenaline pumping through her bloodstream, Starfire didn't even notice that she in her rage had broken the sound barrier.

Appearing in front of Johnny's motorcycle literally scaring the shit out of him as she slammed into the concrete, the biker himself had not even seen her come close to him, his eyes widen in shock as she brought a starbolt encased hand down onto the front of the bike with her natural strength.

Johnny went sailing from his vehicle into the asphalt hard enough to break his right arm, nose and twist his left ankle backwards, effectively shattering it permanently as his vocal cords unleashed a screech that echoed throughout the city, drowned out by noises louder than his own and sending the motorcycle father then he could ever hope to reach as well as spilled every cent he had acquired in the heist sprawling around the road.

Starfire held nothing but animosity in her viridian colored eyes, both hands glowing with her inherited power coursing through her veins as she slowly walked towards him while he whimpered, snot dripping down his nose, his face bleeding from multiple cuts profusely and his eyes widen in terror.

She didn't even notice Beast Boy's descent until he landed right in front of her, transforming back instantly until he held her firmly by the shoulders making her pause for a moment, neither her eyes or her hands were disperse though.

"You know this isn't how we do things, Koriand'r. I know you're angry, I've seen the bodies to-"

"Men, women, children! Those that will never have a full life because of this selfish, arrogant Zalworg Tobeckplizing Zorgmorker, he is not worthy of even being called a Troq. Garfield, I love you, I swear to X'hal that I do...but stand aside, now!" She whispered his name and the very last word of her rant in such a low, threatening voice, the volume of how serious she was alone made his take a step back in shock, mortified that he was witnessing a side to his girlfriend he had not seen anyone, even her sister bring out.

If he stood in her path, tried to protect the wailing scum behind him from her attacks or by God if it came down to it fought her, he would not survive. They both knew that, it wouldn't even be a fair fight, she was the strongest of all the Titans.

The alien powerhouse that had the strength of a hundred humans both men and women alike and the only thing that stood between her and committing murder on the planet Earth was a short, green, sixteen year old shapeshifter, even with his growth spurt he was still shorter than his dangerous, tall, seventeen year old orange girlfriend.

Even his most tenacious forms like the Tyrannosaurus Rex or Spinosaurus or hell if he was being truly honest with himself even the Werebeast would last about as much as ten minutes if he was going full strength and was extremely angry.

But he wasn't angry, he was tired, he was frustrated that his companion had been torn down to such a frightening state, angry at Johnny Rancid for taking innocent lives just to obtain money and ashamed of himself for the fact that some part of him felt their enemy deserved the revenge his mate thoroughly wanted to pound into him, an eye for an eye as he was always taught.

But it wasn't in his nature to wish death on his enemies, to seek revenge for something they couldn't change or obsess over trying to shift their destinies when he had absolutely no idea what lead beyond in the road ahead.

Cautiously as if she would completely ignore him and blast him into dust on the spot, he reached out his hands to grab her own in a tight grip as she instinctively disintegrated her starbolts looking down at him directly in his eyes.

Tears sliding down his face formed in both the heat of the moment and to let her know just how genuine his motives were to her, the sight immediately caused Starfire's eyes to dim until they had completely vanished but a frown still remained, her eyes even now cold as ice.

"What makes us different then the enemies we face is the will, strength and courage we have to protect those who cannot defend themselves, whoever you were in the past, Star has been forgiven the second you entered into our lives. We can't save them all, you know this. We're only two person, Kori...but we can shield the souls who have not passed on to the next life to the best of our ability, don't do this, Koriand'r...please." His words resounded deeply in girlfriend's ears as she relinquished her hold on his hands, dropped her arms to the side and looked at the harden tar underneath her in remorse.

"I have done much in the name of my people, X'hal and justice...but on my time here I have never taken a-"

Her words were interrupted sharply by Wrex clamping it's steel jaws firmly on Beast Boy's left leg, the changeling let a scream of agony as he fell to the ground, not even remembering Johnny's metal pet in their heart to heart conversation.

Without hesitation Starfire lit her hands with her signature weapons and thrusted them deep into the middle of the 'dog's' waist ripping it in half like wet tissue paper, crushing it's lower half in her hands and tossing it away and blasting the upper half with one of her starbolts, the molten steel of the former machine burned Beast Boy's leg but he would live.

His leg was showing to the bone, muscle and green flesh peering haphazardly from the leg of his pants making both of them nearly lose their breakfast at the sight.

"Are you alright-"

"I'm fine, babe. Just a flesh wound, I'll survive, Raven can heal me later. Thanks for watching out for me, what's Johnny up to?" He answered, hissing in pain as she gently touched his damaged leg then looked from him to the villain and saw he was desperately trying to crawl to his other energy pistol which she simply blasted away with another starbolt the second his hand touched it, making his shout in pain as she smirked then knelt down again to her mate.

"He is unable to pose a threat to us, my love. Come we must await for-"

Once more she was hindered from finishing her sentence as the T-Car came into Beast Boy's view making him give a chuckle of relief as she turned towards the sound.

Cyborg came rolling through the street, followed closely by Robin's motorcycle and Raven who raced to them by flight, all three looked incredibly exhausted but wore sincere smiles seeing their friends in front of them as they slowly walked to them.

"Glad you guys took him down pretty fast, we would have helped but Wrexzilla posed more of a threat then we realized and we had to help those hurt by Johnny and his mutt, we should have stopped him-"

"There was nothing we could do, Robin. We didn't get the call until it was too late. We had done all we could." Raven stopped her boyfriend from continuing down his self pity as she knelt down and quickly healed the bleeding teeth marks with aqua colored magic from her hands making him sigh in relief then stand up quickly, his head hurting from the vertigo as he stumbled making the two females near him hold onto his shoulders.

After it disappeared Beast Boy strided towards Johnny, a cocky grin on his face despite the events that happened before, his old personality reverting back on his face and the glint in his eyes causally.

"Thanks Rae, I'll handle Motor Mouth myself, not like he's going anywhere." Beast Boy spoke with a laugh as the dark sorceress merely nodded with a small smile, the green skinned teenager got on one knee and smiled at his foe.

"Ready for jail again, mother-"

His vanity proved to be his downfall and was got off caught by the speed of the biker's lunge, his left hand wrapping around Beast's Boy's neck with a strength that would have killed an ordinary human being as he crossed the teenager over to his chest, the force hard enough to make the boy nearly pass out.

Johnny had no other option, all five Teen Titans were here, he was seriously hurt and he had enough bodies pinned on him from the bastard Chang that he would not be surprised if he got the death penalty, so he had no misgivings over taking at least one Titan's life.

Instantly the other four heroes brought out or summoned their weapons, stalling the villain from killing their friend, they could tell by the look in Johnny's eyes he would have no regret executing the morpher.

"Put him down now, Rancid. This isn't you-"

"Don't sell me that we can work out a deal, bullshit! We all know after all the carnage and destruction I caused that I'm not going to be sent back to that God forsaken prison, I'm going straight to the fucking chopping block. I'm going to Hell, little birdy but I'll be damned if I don't take one last goddamn soul with me!" Johnny fumes like a drug addict, wanting to squeeze the last bit of juice that he could out of the needle.

His forearm crushing Beast Boy's neck with more pressure at the end of his screaming, the boy's eyes bloodshot and he was losing oxygen fast, if they didn't do something quick he would die, he didn't even have the virility to transform.

Subtly, Raven levitated the lower half of Wrex's crushed body surrounded by her onyx hued magic behind him, as soon as Robin gave the word she would send it flying to it's former owner, but she had to move fast.

Robin held a Bridarang at ready in his right hand, his arm poised to throw it the very second Johnny released Beast Boy, along with Cyborg having both his Sonic Cannons out, an enraged expression on his face.

Raven with her magic and keeping her face from showing any emotion on the outside but she would unleash true hell when Robin gave her the signal and Starfire with her eyes and hands again luminous in enmity for the one who would dare hold her mate hostage.

"Raven, do it now!" The Titan leader commanded, she didn't hesitate yanking the piece of metal with all her strength that went zooming at Johnny with the vigor of a car, bashing his skull hard enough to not only let go of the leader to be who scrambled away with every ounce of energy he could but also tore into the right side of his face making him roar in dolor from the skin being shredded off, muscle, tissue and veins being shown even a hint of bone after the large amount of blood as he flailed in agony, his right ear being thrown a foot from his head.

He didn't even get time to scream again as twin sonic beams shot accurately into his chest making the human be flung back, his back being ripped and sliced from the ground below him, a Birdarang missing his foot by a single millimeter as he was violently snagged by his throat and brought up to eye level with the very woman he had mocked again and again, her pure florid lime eyes were narrowed into slits as he looked into them and could no nothing more but scream again, only louder.

The hand on his neck held by her right hand was dug into his skin so tight it was like a vice grip, she could have snapped his neck with just a quick flex of the limb, but he didn't deserve a merciful death after all he had done.

"You wish to enter Tartarus, Johnny Rancid? Allow me to send you there personally." She hissed into remaining ear, drawing her left hand already having a starbolt glowing back as far as her arm would allow to swing into his face with all her strength.

His face would be melting for a second or two before his head suddenly exploded as she prepared to strike, the wailing and shirking of her own people fresh in her mind, in her eyes he was now merely another Gordanian.

Over all the commotion none of them had even seen the Jump City police arrive until they had their laser guns trained openly on Starfire, completely shocked as a lone helicopter with a news reporter and cameraman hovered above, telling the events that had went down with Robin, Raven and Cyborg fighting Wrexzilla earlier.

Now watching in fascination at the orange alien, a renowned hero of Jump City for almost three years straight and adored by many fans, allies and even some enemies alike who held the villain a foot in the air with the intent of murder, terrified.

"Starfire, do not do this. You kill him and we'll have no choice but to arrest and incarcerate you, you'll be stripped of your title as princess of Tamran once Galfore gets wind of this, I'll have to kick you off the Titans personally, you'll leave us no choice but to take you down, we don't want to do that Star! You'll be put in jail for who knows how many years, you'll be just like your sister-"

"How dare you compare me to Komand'r! He had massacred innocent lives for the sake of money. He is a parasite that does not deserve the life he has been given while he leeches off those less fortunate, he has attempted to kill my mate-"

"Mate?!" The three heroes shouted in unison glancing the wheezing changeling on the gravel in front of them who could not even reply back in his effort to breath and not black out.

"He will live no longer!" She finished, ignoring the outburst as she swung her glowing fist with all her might at the enemy who could do nothing more than scream.

"Necronom Hezberek Mortix!" Raven screeched discharging long, black tendrils of magic that grasped her friend's arm, four pure red eyes pulsed open as the half demon grunted using all she had even Rage's power, much to his displeasure to keep the arm from reaching its goal, Starfire's starbolt only a centimeter from Johnny's face, all four tendrils literally were the only thing that kept the villain's life from ending prematurely.

Cyborg and Robin didn't waste time, grabbing a tendril and pulling with everything they had knowing that if they could use all they had to keep the Tamaranean arm's from coming down they could save a life.

"Oh shit we forgot her other hand!" Cyborg yelled making Starfire give Johnny a cruel grin about to set her other hand ablaze with another starbolt before a calm, gentle tentacle reached out and touched her bare right arm, she glared at the offending limb about to slice it off with her eye beams, and most likely her own arm in her rage before she saw that it was a green octopus tentacle looking down below her and seeing the very one whom she had almost watch die before her eyes.

Floating down to reach the injured changeling's level who morphed back he looked at her with such disappointed eyes it broke her heart and they notice nothing around them but each other.

"You're stronger than this, Koriand'r. I know you are, killing this worthless piece of shit won't bring anyone back...including the ones on Tamaran or your parents, there is no going back after you taken a life, my alien angel, please, don't do this." He whispered into her ear above all the sounds around them as she finally acted at last.

Johnny fell to the floor with an antagonized groan, thanking a god he didn't even believe in that he still drew breath while Starfire put her arm down at the same time, the magic gripping her arm was gone rapidly, Raven dropped to the ground on all four like a brick, panting like a dog and sweating from exerting so much demon sorcery that she was half surprised she had not slipped into unconsciousness.

Cyborg and Robin were flung past Starfire and Beast Boy and ended up in a heap on the ground together, groaning in pain along with Johnny.

Immediately the police swarmed forward reaching out to grab both the villain and hero before Starfire lifted herself into the air, her eyes never once leaving Beast Boy's own except to blink.

Many of the officers jumped to reach the alien who floated higher and higher until she at last turned around and rocketed off at such a speed it blew everything, including the helicopter a few feet backwards.

"Starfire!" Robin yelled, heaving Cyborg who moaned off him slowly and stood up on shaky legs to chase after her until a hand gripped his shoulder and he turned to see a still standing Raven who was taking long, deep breaths to stay awake stare at him.

"I'll go after her, she needs someone who won't hound her for answers, Richard." She whispered into his ear, not even acknowledging Robin's shout to wait as she vanished beneath a black portal underneath her, apparently knowing where Starfire went.

As Johnny was picked off the ground and dragged to a police van with the paramedics beside him, Robin angrily grabbed Beast Boy's shirt, the shapeshifter had stared at the stars above long after Starfire disappeared, doing nothing more than breathing and blinking.

"Start talking, Garfield, now!" Robin growled into the young man's ear until his eyes finally looked into Robin's mask, they both took a long, deep breath and Beast Boy explained.
