Chapter 25: Betrayal
Sora was sitting in his room, finishing up the last touches for the lucky seashell charms he made for his friends. It's been about a week since their encounter with the Master of Games and not much has really happened since then. With Terra's help, they managed to finish attempted crimes faster than usual: they beat Mumbo Jumbo before he could even leave the bank, crushed Cinderblock with his own body, and stopped Doctor Light from robbing a bank while still having time for lunch at the end of the day. The team couldn't be more thankful to have Terra on the team just as much as Terra was thankful to have a home.
"Done and perfect," Sora said as he placed Terra's charm on the table to admire it. It was a yellow and blue colored charm with a butterfly painted in the middle. "Yeah, she's gonna like this," Sora said, as he tied a blue string to it, finishing it up. Suddenly, the alarms lit up his room as he almost jumped out of his chair.
"Oh c'mon!" Sora said as he got ready and ran out of his room and into the ops room where the others already were. "Whassup?" Sora asked.
"Slade's back. His robots are attacking a building up in the mountains," Robin said.
"Why that building?" Sora asked.
"Maybe there's something in there that he wants," Terra suggested.
"Well, let's get there before he gets what he wants," Cyborg said.
"Yes, let us go stop the Slade bots," Starfire said before flying off with the others soon following her.
(Later that evening at the Building)
The Titans arrived to see the robots blow one of the walls to the building down, revealing a small army of Slade bots, one of them carrying a large canister filled with something. Sora fired a beam of light from his keyblade, nailing the bot who was carrying the canister in the head, making him fall to the ground and drop the canister.
"You guys mind sending Slade a message for us?" Sora asked as Terra floated into the air, riding a boulder while holding several large boulders over her head.
"Eat dirt!" Terra yelled as she launched the boulders at the bots, with some hitting their targets but some of the bots managed to move out of the way and brought out their blasters and started firing at the Titans. The heroes charge as Robin rides one of Terra's boulders while Sora runs ahead and fires a huge wave of fire at the bots, destroying most of them as Robin and the others dive into the group of bots as Starfire fires beams from her eyes, Beast Boy stampedes through them as a rhino, and Cyborg fires shoulder mounted missiles, blowing the bots away. Raven suddenly floats into the air, carrying a giant boulder as she tossed it to Terra, who caught it with her powers as she brought it down upon another group of bots, squashing them.
"Thanks a ton," Terra joked.
"Two tons actually," Raven retorted but suddenly she put up a shield to protect herself from the blaster shots but they managed to break through and she was knocked to the ground along with Terra since her boulder was shot out of her feet. Raven looked up to see a bunch of bots surrounding her as they raised their blasters at the ready when suddenly, Sora's keyblade came spinning in, hitting all of the bots on the head. Sora leaped into the air as he recalled the keyblade to the air as he slashed away at some of the bots before blasting the rest of them with a thunder spell, destroying them.
"You alright?" Sora asked as he held out his hand to her. She smiled at him as she took his hand and she was pulled up.
"Yeah thanks," Raven said when suddenly more blaster shots streaked past their heads and they turned to see more bots approaching. They nodded together as they and the rest of the Titans destroyed the last of the bots.
"Is that all of them?" Robin asked as they all regrouped.
"Looks like it," Raven said as she looked at all of the robot parts spread about.
"Well, let's see what they were trying to steal," Sora said as he walked over to the canister where Cyborg was examining it. "You got anything Cy?" He asked.
"My sensors say that it's some kind of explosive device," Cyborg said.
"So, Slade was trying to blow something up?" Terra asked.
"That sounds way too simple, even for Slade," Beast Boy said.
"But at least we have stopped him before he could utilize this device for his evil schemes," Starfire said.
"Star's right. Let's get this thing somewhere where no one can use it again," Robin said.
"And then PIZZA!" Beast Boy cheered as the Titans began to leave as Cyborg lifted the device over his shoulder. Sora was about to follow when he sensed something nearby in the forest and he looked for any sign but he didn't see anything. He walked up to the forest line, looking for anything suspicious but again found nothing.
"Must've been my imagination," Sora said as he ran to catch up with the others. A few seconds passed when suddenly a small camera emerged from the ground a few feet from where Sora was standing as it zoomed in on the retreating Titans.
(Later, back at the Tower)
"And the last slice of pizza goes to...Terra!" Cyborg announced as the final slice of pizza went to Terra. The Titans congratulated her as she enjoyed the last slice as Cyborg joked about her getting the last slice, making almost all of the Titans laugh.
"Seriously, Terra, great job tonight. We're glad to have you on the team," Robin said.
"And we are most mirthful to claim you as our friend," Starfire said.
"Yeah and we're hoping that this place is a good home for you," Sora said.
"Yeah, what they said," Raven said as Beast Boy turned into a small puppy and licked Terra's face, making her laugh.
"Thanks guys, for everything. But you shouldn't, I'm just doing my job, you know? No big deal," Terra said embarrassed as Beast Boy changed back.
"Well, it's a big deal to us. Good friends don't always come along every day, you know?" Beast Boy said. Cyborg then walked over to the wall revealing a hand reading pad as he placed his hand on it, activating the Tower's security systems and the lights went out.
"All right y'all. Titans Tower's locked up and Cyborg's shutting down," Cyborg said as he walked out of the ops room and to his room.
"We should all get some sleep," Robin said.
"Agreed. Good night, everyone," Sora said as he walks to his room.
"Night," Raven said.
"Pleasant shlorvaks!" Starfire said.
"Nighty night, Terra," Beast Boy said as everyone went to sleep, leaving Terra alone in the ops room.
"Yeah, see you tomorrow," Terra said quietly. Sora walked down the hall as he made it to his room, where Stitch was sleeping in his little bed and sat down on his chair. He was about to take his shoes and jacket off when his communicator started ringing. He opened it up to reveal Rose staring back at him.
"Hey, Sora," Rose said.
"Oh, hey Rose. How are you doing?" Sora asked.
"I'm good, just taking a break after stopping some crimes. How have you guys been?" Rose asked.
"Good, just the usual stuff we deal with, crazy events, stopping some bad guys. Oh, and we recently got a new team member too," Sora said.
"Yeah, I met her at that weird tournament that happened a week ago. Her name is Terra, right?" Rose asked.
"Yeah, she's really cool, she controls the earth and she's a great team member," Sora said.
"Awesome, I can't wait to actually meet her when I get back to Jump City," Rose said.
"Wait, you're coming back?!" Sora asked excited.
"Yeah, right now I'm in Steel City but I should be there in a week or so," Rose said.
"Oh, cool but why-" Sora asked but was interrupted when he heard a noise outside. Confused, he looked out the window to see Terra and Beast Boy riding on a boulder out towards the city.
"Well, it's about time," Sora said.
"What? What's going on?" Rose asked.
"It looks like Terra and Beast Boy are finally going on a date. Ever since they first met, Beast Boy fell head over heels for her and I've been wondering when they would go out," Sora said.
"Oh, that sounds nice. Well, I hope they have a fun time," Rose said.
"Anyway, what did you mean you were coming back?" Sora said.
"Well, after a while of thinking everything through and after that weird tournament earlier, I've decided to-" Rose said when suddenly the communicator cut out.
"Rose?" Sora asked, trying to call her again but was unable to. "Rose?!" Sora tried again when suddenly his door was blasted open, revealing a huge army of Slade bots waiting on the other side. "What the-" Sora said but was interrupted by the bots blasting him into the wall as they surrounded him. As they prepared to fire at him and Stitch, he quickly put up a reflect shield to defend themselves but he saw that his charms were about to be shot at.
"No!" Sora yelled as he pushed the bots back as he put the charms into his jacket. "Get. Out. Of. My. Room!" Sora shouted as he fired a huge blast of blizzard at the bots, knocking them out of his room while freezing them in place. Sora summoned his keyblade as he slashed them all to pieces. Stitch crawled onto his shoulder as he grew four arms and pulled out four blasters
"Robin! Raven! Starfire! Cyborg!" Sora shouted as he ran down the hallway as he sliced nearby robots out of his way. "Gotta get to the ops room," Sora said as he fired a beam of light through the huge army as he ran up the wall and fired a blast of lightning on them disabling them while Stitch fired his blasters. After cutting through a few more, they made it to the ops room door and was about to open it when the door suddenly burst open, revealing Cyborg being tackled by four bots.
"Cy!" Sora said as he bashed three of the bots off of him before grabbing the fourth one and slamming it into another oncoming group of bots. But the bots quickly recovered and were about to attack again but Sora quickly created an ice wall to stop them.
"That's not gonna hold them off for long. C'mon, we have to find the others," Sora said as he helped Cyborg up and they ran down another hallway.
"How did these guys get pass my security?! I know I activated it before we went sleep!" Cyborg yelled as he fired his sonic cannon at another set of bots.
"Well worry about that later. We have to find the others!" Sora yelled as he unleashed a huge blast of light, clearing the area for a little.
"Robin! Starfire!" Sora yelled.
"Down here!" Robin yelled. Sora and Cyborg ran down a hallway and turned a corner to see a giant hole that lead to the floor below and Robin and Starfire pinned behind a doorway by a dozen bots shooting at them. Sora and Cyborg quickly fired their weapons at the bots, drawing their attention as they quickly dispatched of the rest of the bots.
"Thanks," Robin said.
"What the heck is going on here?" Cyborg asked.
"I do not know. They just appeared out of nowhere," Starfire said.
"Wait, where's Raven?!" Sora yelled, noticing that she wasn't among them. Suddenly more blaster fire appeared as they took cover behind the doorway as more and more bots appeared.
"How many are there?" Cyborg asked.
"Cyborg, try to reactivate the security systems. Robin, Starfire, back him up," Sora said as he suddenly made a mad dash down the hall.
"Wait, where are you going?" Robin asked.
"I'm gonna go look for Raven!" Sora shouted as he ran down the halls, slicing and blasting through any robots who dared to get in his way. He eventually made it to Raven's room when suddenly her door came flying off the hinges with five robots soon following the broken door. Raven came floating out with an annoyed look on her face.
"Raven!" Sora said catching her attention. "You alright?" He asked.
"Five robots just snuck into my room and tried to shoot me. I'm just dandy," Raven said.
"C'mon, we need to regroup with the others," Sora said as he and Raven ran back to the others who were doing their best to fend off the bots.
"I've tried calling Beast Boy but he's not responding," Robin said.
"And Terra was not in her room," Starfire said.
"Oh, I actually saw them fly off into the city. I don't know where though," Sora said but was interrupted by more blaster shots.
"Anybody wanna explain to me how two hundred armed robots got pass my security systems?!" Cyborg said as he fired his sonic cannon.
"Have you tried reactivating it?" Sora said as he fired a blast of light while Stitch fired his blasters.
"I can't even access the main computer! We're locked out!" Cyborg retorted.
"There's too many of them. We have to fall back," Raven said as she fired a blast of magic. Robin looked down in thought before looking at Sora.
"Sora!" Robin yelled, getting Sora's attention. "I need you to find Beast Boy and Terra, make sure their safe," Robin said.
"What?! But what about you guys? I-I can't just leave you!" Sora said.
"We'll be fine but we don't know about Beast Boy and Terra. Just track his communicator and you'll find him. Now go!" Robin ordered as Sora reluctantly nodded in agreement. "Everyone else, fight anyway. Titans Go!" Robin nodded as everyone leaped from the doorway cover as everyone attacked the bots as Sora rushed ahead of everyone as he made his way to the ops room. A group of robots got in his way but he quickly cut through them in a single strike as he fired a fire spell at the window, making a hole for him as he jumped out and started gliding into the air. Suddenly, another laser blast passed by his head and he looked behind him to see more bots following him.
"You guys don't know when to give up do you?" Sora yelled as he flew faster to lose them but they managed to keep up as they fired grappling hooks at him, tying around his body in order to stop him.
"Fine, wanna play like that?" Sora said as he let out a powerful surge of electricity from his body, traveling up the ropes and shocking the bots, until they were disabled. Sora then cut the ropes as he flew off following the communicator's location. He flew until he came upon a small diner that was on the outer edge of the city. This place was called Ben's Diner and Sora wondered why they came here. Sora walked in to the diner to see a bunch of people playing pool and sitting around enjoying their food. Sora walked further into the diner when he felt something under his foot. He moved it to reveal a Titan's communicator and he moved down to pick it up as he smelt the familiar smell of tofu surrounding it. He turned to see a waitress walking around the place.
"Excuse me," Sora asked her. "Was a guy with green skin and a girl with blond hair in here earlier?" He asked.
"Yeah, they came in here for a couple slices of pie but then they bolted outta of here pretty quickly. The girl seemed freaked out when they left. Like something spooked the daylights out of her," The waitress said.
"Did they say where they were going or something?" Sora asked.
"They didn't say nothing but I think I saw them heading towards the old amusement park," The waitress said.
"Thank you very much," Sora said as he ran out and glided into the air looking for an abandoned amusement park. He flew all across the city looking for the park until he found one that had the Ferris wheel working. He flew down closer when he suddenly saw the ground underneath the Wheel fall apart as the Weel started to shake. He looked closer to see Terra flying above on a boulder with Beast Boy soon joining her.
"Beast Boy?!" Sora yelled out as he flew closer to the lovebirds. "What's going on?" he asked.
"Slade's attacking us!" Beast Boy said.
"Aw great. Look the Tower is under attack too! Get to a safe place and contact the Titans. I'll hold off Slade," Sora said as he tossed Beast Boy's communicator back to its owner. Suddenly, a grappling hook came flying out of the smoke and wrapped around Sora.
"Go now!" Sora yelled as he was pulled to the ground next to Slade.
"You shouldn't have come Sora. Who knows just how pain the rest of your fellow Titans are going through," Slade said.
"Man, you really underestimate us huh. So, what's the big grand scheme for us this time?" Sora asked.
"Oh, you'll see," Slade said as he extended his staff and charged as Sora summoned his keyblade and the two clashed again with Slade swinging his staff wildly at Sora, who was forced to dodge and block the attacks until he quickly put up a reflect shield to block Slade's barrage and push him back. Sora then went on a barrage of his own as he attacked Slade but the masked man managed to dodge most of the attacks.
"Seriously, what is it this time? Is it Terra? You'll never have her or her powers!" Sora yelled.
"That's right, she hasn't told any of you yet," Slade said.
"Told us what? What are you talking about?" Sora asked.
"How do you think an army of my robots managed to get into your precious Tower without any of the security systems going off? It could only have been done on the inside correct?" Slade said.
"Yeah but Cyborg activated it, we all saw him do it and no one else wouldn't have done that, not me, not Robin, not Star, Not Raven, Not Beast Boy, Not-" Sora said but stopped when he started thinking everything over. Terra couldn't have, she wouldn't have right?
"No, she wouldn't have," Sora said in disbelief.
"Yes, she did," Slade whispered.
"No!" Sora yelled as he finally hit Slade with his keyblade, cutting Slade's head off revealing him to a robot.
"Terra?! Where are you!" Sora yelled when he suddenly heard the sound of glass breaking. He ran into the house of mirrors to see Beast Boy, Slade, and Terra standing in a room surrounded by broken mirrors with Terra standing next to Slade.
"Tell me it's not true Terra. Tell me that you're not with him," Sora said with his voice balancing on anger and sadness.
"It's the truth," Terra said as she looked down in shame.
"Terra...why?" Beast Boy asked saddened.
"Because you could never give her what she needs," Slade responded. Beast Boy suddenly roared as he turned into a tiger and charged at Slade who quickly grabbed Beast Boy and threw him onto the ground. He then pulled out a blaster about to shoot Beast Boy but Sora quickly intervened as he tackled Slade into the wall before throwing him to the ground. He was about to attack again when he saw Terra run further into the house.
"Terra!" Sora yelled when he was suddenly shot in the chest and fell to the ground. Slade got up about to shoot Sora again when Beast Boy appeared behind him, now a giant bear, as he slashed Slade across the chest, knocking him to the ground. Sora gritted his teeth as he ran after Terra who he found crying on the ground.
"Beast Boy, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I never meant for any of this to happen," Terra muttered to herself.
"If you're sorry, then why did you join Slade?!" Sora asked.
"I don't know Sora. He-he helped me, saved me from myself. He said that I owed him-," Terra said. Sora gritted his teeth as his eyes turned yellow.
"So, after everything we gave you: a home, a family, a safe place?! You turned to a man who would put you on a leash just so he could have your powers! He never cared about you; he just wants your powers! You want to know what he did to me when me and Robin worked for him? He put me under his control just so I could attack Robin when we tried to leave him. Don't you get it, Terra? He only sees you as just a pawn!" Sora yelled as he punched a mirror near Terra's face in anger, scaring her.
"No!" Terra yelled as she made a giant boulder and launched it at Sora, hitting him in the chest and knocking him to the ground, knocking Terra's lucky charm out of Sora's jacket. Terra calmed herself down as she realized what she did when she saw the charm lying on the ground. Looking at the charm reminded her of herself due to the colors and the butterfly in the middle.
"Is this for me?" Terra said about to pick it up but Beast Boy stopped her as he picked it up.
"I make charms for my friends. That one was for you," Sora said as he picked himself up.
"So, it was all a game? You were just pretending?" Beast Boy accused.
"No, you said you would be my friend no matter what, right?" Terra said, holding out her hand to Beast Boy but he turned his back to her.
"Slade was right. You don't have any friends," Beast Boy said in a cold tone. Terra's face was a look of guilt and hurt when Sora saw Slade appear behind her, with claw and scratch marks all around him.
"Apprentice. Come. We had a change of plans," Slade said. Terra backs away from Beast Boy towards Slade as her face turns into one of anger as the two disappear into the darkness. Sora walks up to Beast Boy as he takes the charm back.
"Beast Boy, I'm sorry. I-" Sora said but Beast Boy stopped him by placing Terra's charm in his hand.
"I-I still can't believe that she did this," Beast Boy said.
"Me neither. After everything we did for her," Sora said as the stood in the House for a few minutes embracing this new info.
"Let's head back to the Tower, see how everyone is doing," Sora said as he Beast Boy took off into the air and back to the Tower as the sun started to rise. They entered through one of the many holes in the windows that led to the ops room where the rest of the Titans were waiting. They were all covered in dirt and scratch marks and even Robin's and Raven's cape had some tears in them. Sora landed on the floor as Beast Boy turned back into a human as Sora saw piles upon piles of Slade bots all over the Tower.
"What happened?" Robin asked walking up to them. Beast Boy looked down as he walked away from them while Sora looked down at Terra's charm.
(Later)
The remaining Titans stood in the Ops room as Sora told them everything: How Terra betrayed them, how she gave Slade everything about them and that she was the one who disabled the security system in order for the bots to sneak in. After a few minutes of destroying all of the hidden cameras and microphones Terra had installed, the Titans were sitting in the Ops Room trying to take in all the info.
"Well, looks like that's everything," Cyborg said.
"And yet, I still feel sad," Starfire said as she looked down.
"I knew it, I knew it! We never should have given her another chance!" Raven said.
"And yet we did. All of us," Sora said as Stitch stood on his shoulder also looking sad.
"I've managed to regain control of the computer. Everything's been reset," Cyborg said.
"And we've found all of the hidden cameras as well," Sora said.
"Thing is, Terra gave Slade more than secret codes and cameras. She gave him us, our flaws, our weaknesses, everything he'd ever need to know," Raven said.
"It doesn't matter. When Slade makes his next move, we'll be ready," Robin said in a determined tone.
"And what about Beast Boy?" Cyborg asked.
"Will he be alright?" Starfire asked.
"He just...needs some time, Star," Sora said.
"Alright, let's get this place cleaned up," Cyborg said as he and Starfire went to work.
"Are you too alright?" Robin asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just angry," Raven said.
"I'm just disappointed. I mean, we gave her everything and yet, she turned her back on us," Sora said, angered at everything that's happened.
"Don't worry. We'll bring her back. But we have to stop Slade to do so," Robin said as he placed a comforting hand on Sora's shoulder. Sora smiled at Robin in response.
"Your right. But first, let's get this place back to normal," Sora said as the three got to work cleaning up Titans Tower.
