Thank you all very much for all the kind reviews, they really mean a lot to me and help me to carry on. There are going to be a couple more chapters to this story that I will try to finish as soon as possible. I will make a sequel to this at some point, but I may do a different Teen Titans story first... I'm open to suggestions and ideas, though ^_^ Thank you again.

Disclaimer: I do not own the Teen Titans.

Beast Boy stood in the doorway, a low growl emitting from his deep inside his throat from his anger at the scene before him.

"Beast Bo-" Cyborg began shouting only to have Arion place his hand on his throat and put pressure on it, not allowing him to finish his sentence.

"I left you to watch him!" Castor roared at Arion.

"But bro-"

"No! How hard could it be? It was one boy, how hard is it to keep an eye on one boy?"

"But the alarm sounded and-"

"Didn't you have the brains to knock him out or trap him or something?"

"Actually, no, I don't have your programming, so I obviously don't!"

"He's the weakest Titan you said so yourself! It would've taken less than a second!" Raven had sat calmly underneath the mass of Castor since she saw Beast Boy, as she didn't want them to stop arguing and resume their fight again, giving BB plenty of time to attack and for her and Cyborg to take a breath and recover a bit. But then, after hearing those words about him, when Castor called him the weakest Titan, something snapped inside of her, and she couldn't control herself.

"You fucking bastard, calling someone way better than you in so many ways weak," she shouted, and Castor glared at her from above. Most normal people in her position would be terrified and beg to be forgiven, but her expression remained monotone and not one bit frightened. She looked him right in the dark glasses, her eyes proving that she was truly not scared. This would again make a lot of villains feel uneasy, but this was Castor, and after what the girl beneath him just said, he felt merciless and livid. Suddenly his glasses shattered into a million pieces without anything touching them, and the shards showered over Raven, giving her a couple of small cuts on her face. But that was worse to come. The glasses shattered because light blue energy came from inside his eyes in the form of lasers, and they hit her in the forehead. Raven screamed out with pain, it felt like she was having lava poured on her face.

Before he could continue the torture all down her face, a raging green bull charged into him and sent him flying a good few feet away. Beast Boy was no where near done though, he made a U-turn and done the same thing to Arion. Now both Titans were free. Once that was done, he changed back into his human form and ran to Raven's side, who was clenching her teeth and eyes shut in utter pain.

"Raven!" He yelled, grabbing hold of her hand and giving it a light squeeze. "Raven! Are you alright?" He continued shouting, and she opened her eyes and looked at his very worried and concerned face. She tried nodding, but another wave of pain hit her and she groaned and he squeezed her hand again. "Raven, try your best to heal yourself, I'll keep them away, I promise," he said, rushed, and he stood up and changed into a large lion with a forest green mane. Castor was up again and was about to attack him, but when he saw the lion he hesitated for a second, and BB seized his opportunity. He leapt forward, quickly covering the gap between them, and then pounced onto him, pinning him down to the ground. Before Castor could even comprehend what just occured so swiftly, the lion gave an ear-piercing, bone-rattling roar right into his face, causing even one of their worst enemies that they ever met to shiver in fright. He snarled menacingly. If he could, he would have loved to rip his body to shreds for hurting Raven right then and there, but he knew he would get in trouble for it later on, so even though it took all of his will power, he didn't.

Arion had also got to his feet soon after since he hadn't been knocked with as much force as his twin brother had, but Cyborg beat him to it. Before his opponent could move, he punched him in the jaw, beneath where he had hit him earlier. Then as rapidly as he could he withdrew his arm and then launched it again, this time making contact with the side of his forehead. Satisfied that he had done enough damage within the space of a few seconds, he took a few steps back, just in case Arion would begin his own attack. Now all of the right side of his face was letting out a lot of blood from cracks in his blue skin, and it was also all swollen a dark shade of purple and throbbing. He looked up at Cyborg with the most evil glare he ever saw from him.

"Y-you asshole!" He yelled as he lunged at him. They were both using as much strength as they could on each other, wrestling to get on top, neither backing down for a second. Cyborg was strong and half of him was made of metal while Arion only had a single metal arm which would usually give him the advantage, however Arion was also strong, probably more powerful than Cyborg was, so it was a tough battle. He was determined not to loose though, he had been beaten by him before, and his teams' lives were at risk. No, he could not give up, not even for a second. He had to win, whether it was the last thing he did.

Healing herself was difficult for Raven, the wound was very deep and it had a few traces of Castor's powers left in it, and it was hard to get rid of it since his powers, though she did not like admitting it, were more powerful than hers. Eventually she managed, and though she felt weak afterwards, she stood up and refused to show it, after all Beast Boy and Cyborg were fighting the two villains and all she had to do was just use her powers on herself. She looked over at Beast Boy and Castor, the villain had used his powers against him and BB changed back to his normal self and was dodging the attacks as best he could while clutching his arm and attempting to change back into a powerful animal. She quickly used the lasts of her power to send Castor flying off to the side, hitting the wall with his head pretty badly. Beast Boy smiled thankfully at her. "Raven, go and find the others, we will keep them away the best we can," he ordered as nicely as he could and at first she hesitated. She did not want anything to happen to either of the boys and her not being able to help, but something in the way BB was looking at her told her it would be better if she would. So she did. With a last nod and encouraging smile at each other, she ran down the corridor to the other rooms.

About ten minutes later, Raven was still going down the puzzling twists and turns in the corridor, looking into every window she saw. She too did not know that the blacked out windows she saw in each of the rooms she had ever been in were one way windows, but it sure made everything easier. Well, it usually would have, if not for the fact she did not know where Starfire nor Robin's rooms were located. Suddenly, she heard heavy panting and loud boots hitting the floor at a rapid pace, and when she turned around she found Castor behind her. Gasping, she stepped to the side as he lunged at her. Trying to use her powers would be useless, there was no way they'd be able to protect her as they were still weak. For now, she'd have to avoid attacks or use her fists and legs to defend herself. But... If Castor was here, what happened to Beast Boy? She gritted her teeth and held back the urge to go and find out, Castor would catch her if she did. He was about to pounce on her again, when a green blur hit him in the side and knocked him over. Beast Boy quickly changed back into human form, and gave an apologetic smile at her.

"Heh, sorry Rae, he kinda ran away," he explained trying to sound as innocent as possible, then turned back to a tiger form, and pounced onto him, giving Raven the chance to get away before they continued their fight.

Raven was now a lot more focused and determined on locating their remaining captured friends. This would, of course, been a whole lot easier if her powers would return to her and she could use them to search the building, but then she decided it would be wasting her energy anyway if it was possible to find them normally. Briskly, she walked along the corridor, peering into every window she saw. Why couldn't she find them? She hoped she hadn't walked past them and not seen them, as she had to admit she felt kind of lost. Everything seemed way more complicated than it probably actually was in this building, at least to her. She walked away after looking into yet another empty room, when something made her walk backwards. Did she just see... Starfire? Checking again, indeed it was Star, hanging from the wall and staring down into the ground, oblivious to what was going on under the same roof that she was under. Smiling triumphantly, she turned to the door. She knew that they always locked all the doors no matter what, so there was no point in trying to see if it would just open willingly. Taking a deep breath in, she tried to make her powers work to break the lock. This proved a lot harder than she thought it would be, and no matter how much she strained she couldn't seem to be able to. After a few more determined tries, all she managed was to dent it a little bit, but it would have to do, hopefully that would help her at least slightly. She attempted to do what Cyborg had done, and kick the door down, even though she was no where near as powerful as the tall half robot man. Her first try did not work very well, but at her second one the lock that was holding the door shut dented so much that you could just open the door normally. She opened it, and Star seemed very frightened and was demanding who it was trying to break the door of wood.

"Shh, calm down Star, it's me Raven, see?" Raven reassured her, and Star's attitude immediately changed when she saw that indeed it was.

"Oh, friend Raven, how wondrous it is that it is you, and not somebody else," she said, relieved. Rolling her eyes, Raven studied the handcuffs and thought of a way to break them. She couldn't use her powers, and she knew she wouldn't be able to smash them for sure. Looking around the room, she suddenly had an idea. She walked over to the shelves, and picked up some strange object that looked like a black rock but she highly doubted it was. Once she returned to Starfire, she started to knock the 'rock' against the handcuffs as strong as she could while trying to be careful to not accidentally hurt Star in the process.

"Friend Raven, please be most careful with that!" She yelped.

"I'm trying," Raven snapped, frustrated. Right now she was too focused to be nice or patient. Finally the first handcuff was free, and she began working on the other three. It took a good few minutes, but in the end she was able to get all of them.

"I am most thankful to you, friend," she thanked and Raven nodded quickly, but she wanted to get to the next phase of the order Beast Boy gave to her, and find Robin.

"Star, we are going to go and find Robin, stay closely behind me but you be on the look out, never once keep your eyes off of the corridor behind us," Raven tried to explain as clearly but quickly as she possibly could think of.

"Why must I do the look-outing and not find friend Robin?" Star asked, seeming a bit offended. Did Raven not think she could handle the task of finding her own boyfriend?

"Look, I can't use my powers, they are too weak, so if someone comes I wouldn't be able to stop them," Raven said, looking behind her every few seconds. "Please, do this favour for me. I'll go to the mall with you if you do a good job."

"Okay, I shall try my best to be a good look-outer," Star replied happily now, convinced by Raven's bribery.

So both girls headed out of the room and carried on walking further into the corridor. Raven was in front, checking every single room and making sure not to miss any out. Starfire was behind her flying, facing with her back to Raven and only turning around every so often to make sure she was going in the correct direction. She kept her word though, and tried her best to focus on the corridor.

Another ten or so minutes passed, and Raven hadn't found Robin yet, but Starfire hadn't seen any dangers so that was good at least. Raven just hoped that she would find Robin, and that he was still in the building alive, and hadn't been moved anywhere, because after searching for so long the thought had crossed her mind.

"Ra-" Starfire called from behind her, but got cut off by something. When Raven turned around, Starfire was lying with her head against the wall bleeding, obviously unconscious, and next to her stood Arion with a demonic grin on his face, staring right at her. His clothes had been ripped up and he had loads of bruises and cuts all over his body, especially one side of his face that Cyborg had completely ruined, and that was now a swollen bloody mess. She began to back away as she took a deep breath in and held it, but let it back out when she felt herself walk into something large and wet behind her. She turned around and faced Castor. He looked no better than his twin brother, the wetness she felt had been the blood that was caking his torn shirt and body. She had no idea what to do, what happened to Beast Boy and Cyborg. But she didn't have much time to actually think about it, since all she felt was a sharp pain to her head, then she fell unconscious.

Cyborg awoke aching all over his body. The dark green carpet he was laying down on was stained with pools of blood, and he knew some of it was his own. He took a few minutes to figure out what was going on and where he was and he managed to sit up and ignore his muscles protesting and hurting even more in return. A figure started to groan nearby him, also on the floor and covered in bruises and blood, some older anddried up and some fresh and glistening. "B, you alright?" He asked, and Beast Boy rolled over, groaning more. Cyborg noticed even his jaw didn't want him to speak or move it.

"Not exactly, dude," he replied, moaning as he attempted to sit himself up against the wall. This part of the corridor looked like World War Three, the entrance door was squeaking on its hinges, the once white walls were smeared with red all over them, and it seemed that you could swim in the blood that was on the carpet. Then there was both of them there on the floor, barely alive and somehow miraculously still breathing. They sat still for a few minutes, not saying anything and attempting to get some of their energy back and waiting for at least a tiny bit of the unbearable pain to disappear.

"Cy, we have to carry on," finally Beast Boy broke the silence, his eyes still closed. Both of them had black bruises underneath them.

"What? Are ya mental? We'll get killed if we do!"

"And then we will have to live with the death of our friends on our hands, plus they will just finish us off later if we don't." Cyborg stayed silent for another minute or two, and that extra time seemed to help both of them as they felt slightly stronger.

"Fine, but we need a plan, we can't just rush into it then get killed for being stupid."

"I'll agree on that, so what is the plan?" Cyborg slid himself over the moist carpet closer to Beast Boy, then began whispering into his ear.

"Dude, why you whispering? They're not here."

"Ya never know, better safe than sorry." Beast Boy shrugged to that and Cyborg carried on in a whisper. "We need to split up, I'll find Robin or Star and free them, while ya just find one of 'em, then when we come we'll help and..."

Cyborg carried on until everything was settled and they were clear on what they had to do. Now for the hard part - actually doing it.

It took them a few more minutes to get up and be able to walk again, but once they did, their determination took away a lot of the pain and gave them a new strength. They wished each other luck, after all they would need a heck of a lot of it with the amount of risks they were taking. Then, with a last look at each other, they headed off in separate directions down the corridors. While they would not say it, inside both of them felt sadness and worry wash over them, this could be the last time they saw their best friend, and they were badly beaten up. They prayed that their plan would work, it was a good, solid plan, but their enemies were a lot stronger than they were, and the team wasn't even whole.

Cyborg took a different route to Raven, one that didn't have as many turns, and he tried to remember the path he took even though it proved more difficult done than said. As he glanced around each room he passed before moving on, he remembered that he'd have to kick the door down and smash the handcuffs four times, and he hoped that he would have enough energy to do that. Finally, he saw an outline of a person inside one of the rooms, and he sighed with relief, at last he found someone. Looking at the door, he took a deep breath in, then positioned himself in front of it. 'You can do this,' he thought to himself inside of his head, then shutting his eyes, he swung his leg at the wooden door. BANG! He did not reopen his eyes until he heard the familiar squeaking of hinges, but when he did, all he saw inside was a pretty terrified friend. Why was everyone always so scared when he kicked doors down? Obviously neither Arion or Castor wouldn't kick it down if they had the keys to the entire place. Shaking his head, he went over to the person, and began working on smashing the handcuffs, ignoring all the demands, questions and thank you's from the friend he was rescuing until he was finished and he was free.

"Rob, mate, calm down and shut up, don't want anyone hearing us," Cyborg said, and Robin took a deep breath in as he realised the amount of noise he was making by yapping words at him would just attract the villain again and they'd get captured.

"Okay, but I have a right to know what's going on," Robin said a lot calmer and quietly now, and Cyborg was a lot more satisfied with his tone.

"I dunno how much you know, but Arion and Castor-"

"Castor?"

"Oh, you don't know who Castor is," Cyborg muttered. Robin didn't know a lot then. He'd have to explain everything from the beginning. "There is not one villain, but two. Castor is Arion's twin bro they kept a secret till now, and they plugged me into some machine and paralysed me, and they injected me with some potion to make me sleep then left. They musta got the wrong one tho, cuz I woke up soon after and was able to move, so I unplugged the wires and escaped. I found Raven, but we got caught by them, but BB came and rescued us. Then Raven went to find one of ya, I was fighting Arion and B was with Castor, but den we got beaten and fainted, and now we came up with a plan which is..." Cy explained the whole plan to Robin and his part in it, then once they agreed, they set off to find Beast Boy.

Beast Boy had found one of the villains with ease, using his animal senses. It was Arion he found, and he had Raven pinned against the wall, and he was threatening her and slapping her if she answered something wrong. Beast Boy had changed into a fly and was sitting on the wall, hoping the aliens found flies in their base often and ordinary. Seeing him do these horrid things to Raven built his anger up more and more, but he forced himself to keep quiet, he couldn't mess up the plan in any way or they'd most probably die. He just hoped Cyborg would come with backup soon, or he wouldn't be able to handle it much longer. One good thing came from it though; his anger made him forget about the pain and give him even more determination to succeed. Finally, he heard footsteps on the ground, and he saw that Cyborg had got Robin with him. Arion turned around and smiled, still holding Raven to the wall, obviously not phased at the two Titans arrival. Beast Boy flew to the other side of him, then changed into a T-Rex and let out a roar, casuing the villain's smile to vanish.

"Hey, guys, I just wanted to apologise for everything-" Arion began saying, feeling vulnerable and cornered.

"No no, it's fine, trying to take over our planet and causing us all this damage. I'd like to apologise for something too," Cyborg said, picking up his enemies' mockery, "for not killing you already." Arion gasped, but Robin had already planted a kick on the side of the face that Cy had left alone. Beast Boy followed and veered around, knocking him off of his feet with his powerful tail, and freed Raven from his grip by doing this. Cyborg pounced onto him and pinned him down, then started beating him with his fists. Now all of his face had been severed.

"Brother!" Cried a voice behind the whole action. Castor had heard them and ran straight over, but he wasn't expecting to find four of the Titans free and beating his brother.

"You knock him out, I'll take care of him," Robin ordered, and the team smiled, they finally had their leader back and it made everything so much easier. "Let's see who this 'Castor' is." Usually Castor wasn't scared of much, but this time he felt different, the way Robin walked up to him fearlessly, and the fact that he was already a lot weaker from the fight earlier and Robin was perfectly healthy.

"This is the end for you," Cyborg said as he landed a hefty punch onto his face, then got off of him to let BB have a go. BB took his chance and grabbed him by the arm with his jaws, and then hurled him hard at a wall, as if he was nothing more than a weightless rag doll. That finally managed to knock Arion out, and the two best friends looked at each other with smiles. They had done it.

"Go and help Robin, I'll keep an eye on him," Raven's voice came from behind them, and they nodded.

"What about Star?" Cyborg asked, looking around.

"We'll get her after, it shouldn't take much to finish Castor off," she said and walked over to Arion's unconscious body. She felt her powers slowly returning to her, so she could handle it if he woke up. Robin had plenty of energy and strength in him, while Castor's was running out. Before his friends managed to join him, he had already made a few good kicks and punches.

"Let's just get this over and done with," Cyborg said. Beast Boy ran to Castor, still in his dinosaur form, and seized him up by the arm. Robin started charging at him, then leaped up and planted a good kick to his face, which already knocked him unconscious, but to make sure he wouldn't awake for a while, Cyborg gave him a great punch to the face as well, and then Beast Boy dropped him on the floor.

It was over. They had beat the alien twins. Everything could return to normal now. Now all they had to do was handcuff them and leave them for the police to deal with, while they could find Starfire and go home to heal up and catch up on the time they spent apart.
