ON WITH THE STORY!
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
The Titans readied themselves. They had been mentally preparing themselves for tonight since Metropolis, knowing one day they would all meet again. But so had Robin, and he was sure he was the one that was better prepared. After all, he was here to win, and at this point, the Titan's only hope was to simply survive this diabolical affair. Although, for a moment, he saw sparks of rage, of killing intentions, of hurt and betrayal within their eyes. But in a split second, the world shifted, the tension came to a breaking point. All it took to shatter it was for Cyborg to give the call. The heroes had returned and there were upon him. It was within those moments that everyone seemed to slow down for the former Titan. He watched them carefully as they approached, and he quickly identified all of their weak points. And while they may have gotten stronger and their teamwork was far superior to any other, not much else had changed. He was saddened at the thought that this fight wouldn't take long to end, especially if he attacked the brightest beacon of them all first. He realized then that he would have to begin with Starfire.
As the heroes bolted towards him, he too sprinted forward to encounter them. However, he quickly slipped past them, only to defy gravity for a moment as he ran up the rooftop enclosure, kicking himself up off the wall, only to have grasped Starfire by the neck as he fell. Her sudden shock allowed him to push her face first into the ground below, he body created a thud like sound as it hit the floor. In one ruthless act, he rendered her unconscious. She wouldn't be able to help them, and as he looked down at her form and took in what his actions had brought, he realized he may have been a bit too harsh. Perhaps he had broken a leg or an arm. He wasn't sure, but she would have one hell of a migraine and perhaps a concussion when she woke up. But she would remain alive.
Robin stepped over her sleeping form and took another stance. "One down, three more to go." He could hear the astonishment from the team, the anger, the terrified little gasps. Did they think he was to be taken so lightly? "The FUCK MAN!" Cyborg couldn't believe it, his anger beginning to rise. "Good," thought Robin, if he loses control of his temper he becomes easier prey. The would be villain just shrugged at his former companions cries, "What did you think was gonna happen? Have you all really lost so much direction that you don't know how to deal with one of Slade's apprentices? You all fought so well the first two times. What changed?" As if on queue he could almost hear Cyborg let out a low growl. "Now, now, remember your temper. You shouldn't let it get the best of you." It was almost ironic that he was saying to them what Slade had taunted him with in the beginning.
"The FUC-" Cyborg glared at the criminal across from him. He eyed Starfire's form laying behind their foe and he felt his chest constrict, Robin couldn't help but smirk, maybe now Cyborg would understand what he was going through all those nights in the past, but at least he would give him the benefit of the doubt, "She's still alive. But you know if you don't end this soon, it may only get worse for her. Tamaran's aren't immune to concussions, and we know what happens when any concussion is left untreated for a long period of time."
"That's it!" Beast Boy shifted into a tiger and pounced at the villain, which Robin easily avoided, but it left Beast Boy having to stop suddenly as to not bring any harm to Starfire. He glared at the younger hero. "So fit with rage that you want to hurt your own companion?" He smiled as he ran towards Cyborg and delivered a hefty kick to his chest, sending the cybernetic man backwards, his form only being stopped by the ledge. He turned then to face Garfield and Raven, the former was now using her power to raise the entire staircase enclosure, he was a bit impressed as she ripped it from the surface of the building before she hurtled it in his direction, which was another object he was easily able to avoid. He attacked her then with a series of punches and kicks. All of them which she could block until he saw Beast Boy heading towards them in Elephant form, quickly he broke through one of her shields, grabbed her arm and directed them both towards Beast Boy just as it was too late for him to turn back, too late for her to dislodge herself from him. Quickly, she put up a shield, as he back flipped the moment Beast Boy had returned to his normal form, staggered by the collision.
He Stood there watching them, waiting for them to make their move. He smiled then when he heard the familiar sound of a sonic cannon. The power of his cannon whirled towards him and he did a series of side steps to avoid the powerful blast. "Is this all you got? I'm a bit disappointed." He watched as Cyborg grit his teeth and soon enough, he found himself doing a series of backflips as Cyborg repeatedly unleashed one blast after another, trying to hit him. Robin landed on the ledge as he faced the Titans as they regrouped before him. They, in turn, were facing him, ready to attack, ready to bring him to justice, probably. Robin didn't care. He closed his eyes for a moment and found the ocean. When he opened them again, they were still there, still on the edge of losing their cool."Ready to give up?"
"Fuck you." and Robin took Cyborgs cussing as a firm no. He shrugged, "Alright." And like a bolt of lightning, Robin had grabbed Raven's hood and pulled it down before grasping the end of her cape and began wrapping it around her head, then pushed her to the ground as he heard her muffled gasps of anger. He then turned to Beast Boy and as the boy went to shift, he quickly grabbed his arm, kicked him in the stomach, and then bent his arm backwards and broke it. He screamed at the sight of his limp arm, and while his focus remained on the one broken limb, Robin broke the other. The severe pain knocked him out. He smirked at Cyborg then as he ran towards him, leaping up before he could fire off a shot and landed on his back. Victor's eyes when wide as Robin opened him up and accessed his control panels, giving him all control to his weaponry, which made Cyborg for a brief moment a bipedal humanoid tank. "GET THE FUCK OFF ME!" He shook his head, "No can do, old friend." He growled at the former hero, "I'm not your friend, not anymore."
The enemy shrugged, "I know." he began to charge Cyborg cannons, curious as to how much power they can truly hold. "Man, it's too much. Get off!"
"No, I don't think so." It was then that Raven had untangled herself from her cloak, her eyes locked onto his. His masked eyes narrowed at her, his face was emotionless as he tinkered with Cyborgs controls. It was within seconds and suddenly before she put up a shield, Cyborg unwillingly shot her with such raw power that no matter how she tried to shield herself, it wouldn't do her any good. By the time all of his power was depleted from the blast, Raven crumpled to the floor, still breathing, still alive, but heavily damaged, like the rest of the Titans. Just as he wanted. And Cyborg was left with little to no power. And he stood there and watched Robin begin to walk away, but before he could disappear from their lives forever, he had to ask. "Why? Why did you do it?" Robin looked at him then. No more malice, only an emotionless mask that would probably haunt him for all his years to come. "Why did you betray us? Why become a villain?"
"Am I really a villain?"
"What you're doing is wrong, man."
"Perhaps, but the world will have a better future for it. There is a world I want to see, a world without heroes, without pawns in her game. A world without a force guiding every country into one war after another, using its people and their bloody massacres for profit. Maybe it's time for someone else to take the reins. She has control over the entire world, you know. Could you imagine what kind of power she wields? You met her once, a few nights ago, was it?"
He gasped for air as his power began to shut down. He wouldn't die here, but he also wouldn't be able to move until one of his teammates woke up. Cyborg's mind went back to the late evening chat with the woman. "Yea, what about her?" Their enemy smiled a genuine smile at his old friend. "The League is just another pawn in her game. She controls everything. Even you. Because she started it all."
He could almost laugh. In all honesty, he had no clue what Robin was going on about, "but not you?" The former hero shook his head. "Not me, not anymore. Remember, we had a deal. If I see anyone in the tower again, I won't hesitate to make another visit." Cyborg said nothing as he watched his friend head down the stairs. "Goodbye old friend," was the last thing he said to him before he disappeared.
Within moments, Cyborg was left alone, left to his thoughts, left with the scene of his friends scattered around him, all of them injured, battered and bloody. He let out a whimper then. Robin had defeated them, threatened them never to return. He didn't know what to do now. Should he report to the League, to Batman? The questions filled his mind, and he had no answers and soon the only thing he could do was remain still as his mind allowed all of his anxieties to burst forward, which made him continuously have mild panic attacks while he was stuck up there on the damn roof, with no way to help his friends.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Before leaving the Tower behind, Robin had uploaded a program into the tower's systems. While he had dismantled them in the beginning, this program would ensure that everything the Titans had gained over the years would be lost. All of their files, programs, information, it would all be gone, wiped from the board. He left that dark tower that night with a new purpose. Aurora had delivered a message to the Titans and the Titans, being the good little curious heroes they were, had done as she asked and distributed her own directive. He withdrew from the tower that night through the front door and took one last good look at the place he once called home before he called Asif. "I'm done."
'That didn't take long." the boy shrugged almost as if he was dissatisfied with the outcome. "Wanna send Kate over?"
Asif chuckled, "She's already on her way." Robin nodded. "So guess what?"
"Hrmmmm?"
"Aurora gave the Titans a message to give to me. The land of Ash and Ruin." There was a silence for a moment before Asif let out a sigh, "She wants to meet in the desert, Yemen specifically." The former hero smiled, "Yeeep, we'll talk more once I've across the water." The call ended and Robin was left in the shadow of what now become a symbol of hate and distrust. All was going as planned. Aurora was getting bored and wanted in on the fun. And fun he would give her.
