(A/N)- Super short, but I always love any time I get to write Robin and Starfire being Battle Couple and this prompt was a perfect opportunity.
Enjoy!

RobStar Week 2016, Day 3 - War
The sharp prongs of a trident whooshed past him as he dodged, sidestepping out of the way of the Gordanian's wild stab. Robin began to turn, but his opponent was already felled, a hot, bright green beam burning the air over his head and pinning the alien straight in the chest.
They had no respite; the next wave was already upon them. Robin hopped lightly over the rubble and debris littering the street as he and Starfire closed in. Behind them they could hear the buzz of Cyborg's sonic cannon, the flurry of arrows from Speedy's bow, and a bellow from Gnarrk as he smashed the crystallized Kole into a heavy scaled body.
The incursion had come on suddenly. The sunlit blue sky had abruptly dimmed with dozens and dozens of angular golden ships, much the like the one that had appeared over the city the first time the Titans had met.
He had determined they wouldn't take her then. He was determined they wouldn't take her now.
The attack was huge. Much larger than they could handle alone. A quick call across the network, a sounding to arms and battle, had summoned their reinforcements. The flyers had taken to the sky, hitting the crafts in the engines, the steering, downing them all until they filled the bay.
He hadn't wanted her to go with them at first, hadn't wanted her anywhere near the vile creatures responsible for causing her so much pain and heartache, but Starfire was determined to play her part, and he wouldn't insult her warrior's pride by insisting she stay grounded.
Now, she fought at his side, the two of them at the head of the line, right in the thick of things. His staff was a blur of metal. Her starbolts flared and popped, lighting up the pier with burning green. They moved in sync, each one finding their perfect rhythm, flowing gracefully around each other in a deadly dance of combat. Completely attuned to each other's movements, they coordinated attacks with pinpoint precision.
To their right, Raven and Argent both had solid wall constructs blocking off the streets behind, forcing the Gordanians to be fenced in to this small stretch of pier. To their left, Beast Boy, Aqualad, and Tramm were in the water, steering stragglers towards the same. Thunder and Lightning hovered above, Kilowatt and Red Star on the roofs, keeping anyone trying to fly over the barriers grounded. They had the Gordanians in a bottleneck, a crucible of flurrying powers, whizzing laser bolts, and shifting bodies.
Robin dodged right, and the Gordanian taking a swing at him overbalanced and fell on his face. Starfire immediately dropped in, grabbing up the man by his shoulder straps, lifting him bodily over her head, and hurling him off the pier, into the water.
The Boy Wonder smashed his staff into the head of another Gordanian heading for her, following up with a jab to the chest. The Gordanian brought his trident up. Metal locked with metal, Robin's feet sliding as he jockeyed for leverage.
Starfire came to his rescue at once, shoving the Gordanian hard in the chest, sending him stumbling. He teetered on the edge of the pier, wobbled, flailed comically a few moments before losing his balance and joining his friend in the water.
The two Titans took up position side by side, pausing a moment to look over the battle.
They'd driven the enemy back. More waves were coming, pouring out of the crashed ships, but their numbers on land were rapidly decreasing as the Titans gained the upper hand. They had almost pushed the Gordanian army off the pier completely.
And here they would hold the line.
Robin steeled himself, and Starfire brought up her glowing fists.
The Gordanians would break on them like water on the rocks. After all, they were together.
And as long as they were together, nothing could stop them.
