Let's just get right to it.
Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans.
Robin felt his pulse quicken as the three Titans followed the path in the darkened cave to a metal door. They paused, looking at each other for a moment. "Whatever is behind this door," Robin began, "We can take them."
"Are you sure, Rob?" Cyborg asked. He nodded and looked at the two with confidence behind his masked eyes.
Starfire placed her hands around the two boys' necks, hugging them close to her. "I have confidence in us," Starfire said with a small, gentle smile. The three stood together in silence, cherishing their moments before what would be a horrendous battle. With that, Cyborg raised his leg and kicked down the door. They ran in as fast as their legs would allow and gasped at the sight before them. Hundreds of robots were scattered around the room.
"Ah," A voice said, "We have guests." Robin followed the voice, his eyes landing on a familiar masked face. His eyes narrowed as he watched Slade walked towards them along with another man covered in pure metal.
Robin yelled louder than he ever had before. "TITANS GO!" Starfire, Cyborg and Robin jumped into action, attacking every robot that came their way. Robin made his way towards the Slade, blood curdling with anger and revenge. Starfire flew up into the air, firing starbolts down at the robots. Dodging robot after robot, Cyborg ran to the back of the cave, where a small room was being blocked by three larger robots.
Raising his arm, firing his sonic cannon at the three, causing them to fall to the ground and reveal the cell. He smirked and muttered, "Boo-yah." Making his way over and kicking the robots aside, he poked his head through the bars. "YO!" He called. Raven, who stood with her back towards the door, froze with shock. She turned, eyes wide.
"Cyborg!" She exclaimed as she ran to the bars. She placed her hands on the metal. Her voice cracked as she yelled with panic. "H-He's covered in metal. I don't know how. Trulok did somethi-,"
Cyborg shushed her and said, "We'll figure that out. I gotta get you both outta here first." Raven nodded. She backed up watched as Cyborg blasted the cell doors. The smoke disappeared and the two sighed with failure. The doors were indestructible.
"He planned this, Cyborg!" Raven yelled. "He knew this would happen!" Cyborg watched as Raven's eyes suddenly went wide. "WATCH OU-," Cyborg turned and raised his arm, blocking a robot. The robots surrounded him, quickly taking a hold of him and pinning him to the ground. Raven ran to the bars and looked around the room. Her violet eyes were wide as her pulse went wild. The situation could not get any worse. Robin was thrown to the floor by Slade himself while Trulok had a tight hold on Starfire's hair and arms. As the world went fuzzy, Raven saw several robots open the bars and grab her arms.
A platform began to rise from the center of the cave and the top of the cave opened up, revealing a star-filled sky. She was dragged onto the platform and hooked into something. A metal band curved across her forehead and two syringes pricked the veins in her wrists. "AH!" She yelled in pain.
"RAVEN!" Robin's voice yelled. Raven looked over, watching the three being held back by robots grabbing onto their arms and securing them in shackles. She turned her head, watching the robots circulate around the rising platform.
Slade and Trulok, followed by three robots carrying Beast Boy's metallic body, climbed onto the platform. "Now," Slade smirked at the Empath. "This will be our practice round." The robots placed Beast Boy in front of Raven, just about ten feet away from her. Raven swallowed nervously and looked at Beast Boy's body. He was unnervingly silence underneath his casting. "And just in case any of you try anything… I've set up a forcefield around the cave that rids you of any power you may have." He smirked and pressed a button, a blue wave of energy exploding through the cave. Raven watched him turn, hand hovering over a large, red button on his control panel. Her eyes drifted from Slade to Beast Boy metal-incased body. She bit her lip, which began to quiver slightly.
"Please," Raven looked over at the two villains, "Don't make me do this." Begging was never a thing that Raven wanted to do. She couldn't let herself. But, in this moment with a life in her hands, she just had to.
Slade smirked and turned to a control panel behind him. Raven felt the machine behind her buzz and whoosh with power. Her breath quickened and she stared at the statue in front of her. The three Titans on the ground below watched with horror. Tears rolled down Starfire's face as the two men stood with shock. The machine grew louder and warmer behind Raven. A large red glow appeared above her, where a gun was pointing down towards Beast Boy. The gun sent out a wave of red energy. It ripped through the air and smashed into Beast Boy's body. Raven gasped as the metal exploded and shattered into a million pieces.
"BEAST BOY NO," Raven screamed. The dust faded away, nothing standing in the place of Beast Boy's body. It was gone altogether. Raven's head fell and she felt her throat choke up with sobs. The silent sobs wracked her body as she closed her eyes and let tears stream down her face. Starfire, Robin and Cyborg looked on with horror. Starfire lowered her head, her red hair covered tear stained cheeks.
Slade chuckled to himself and turned to Trulok. "Now that I know my invention is working, let us begin the obscurition. You three," Slade said, looking at Starfire, Robin and Cyborg, "You will stay here. You are my finale." The platform rose up even higher, exiting the cave from up above. Jets appeared from the bottom of the circular area, carrying it up and out towards the city, robots flying off after it.
Starfire, Robin and Cyborg collapsed to the ground as the robots holding them flew off through the sky. Cyborg quickly stood up and raised his arm. When nothing happened, he muttered a curse and hit the ground angrily. "He freakin' planned this, man!" Cyborg exclaimed.
"He plans everything," Robin replied in a cracking voice. Starfire stood up, her arms crossed over her stomach. Robin and Cyborg watched as the Tamarean made her way over to the pile of metal where Beast Boy once stood. From the ground, Robin watched as his girlfriend's head lowered and her shoulder's shook with silent sobs. Robin and Cyborg looked down, their own eyes watering with a mixture of sadness and anger. The cave was empty and dark, the lights dimmed and flickering.
Opening her green eyes, Starfire scanned the floor under her. Just as suddenly as her grief overcame her, she jumped with confusion and shock. A small, green cockroach crawled out from under the pile of dusty metal.
