Author's notes- Okay dudes, I know I posted a chap in Whiplash, but I just couldn't hold this story in any longer so I wrote it. It's only a one shot so you dudes shouldn't be to mad at me but just in case I'm sorry. Also, this has some Shakespearean type speech so be aware and maybe a little OOCness I'm not sure on that one but just in case theirs the warning.

 

The Last Titan (Yes that is a rip-off of The Last Samurai, a movie I loved)

 

The days of order are gone. They ended with that battle, and that day. I am now the last one of the elite force the Teen Titans; we fought bravely and in the end made a difference. However we paid a terrible price, and now we live in this world where murder is commonplace and you need a weapon o stay alive. That day was the apocalypse.

 

The sky was darkened with the shadows of the ships, they were gigantic, and the scourge the bore was unlike anything we as the human race had ever seen. They had come down on us like rain and killed everything they saw, we tried to talk with them but they were naught but blood thirsty monsters. Eventually, almost two thirds of us were eliminated, the peoples of earth flocked to our city in hopes of finding sanctuary under out protection. Then they came to us, we were ready, we knew it would happen, but when it did the task still seemed daunting. They stood their like ants in well ordered rows looking out at the new source of fresh meat to gorge themselves upon. We readied the people, they were our army, our fight and survival depended solely on their will to live. The ranks were made battle ready and they were armed. The alien creatures, stood there so nonchalant, as though they weren't about to face a deadly battle. Robin and I, being the top officials of the militia, went out to hold council with out enemies.

 

Alien General: You the leader of the army, we demand you stand down. If you do so your demises will be as quick as is possible.

 

Robin: If you're going to kill us anyway we will fight for our right to live, and we will never give up!

 

Alien General: Very well, earthling, embrace your demise with honor!

 

They rode back to their front lines of their forces, our negotiations obviously concluded, we returned to out own street army.

 

Robin: Titans are we ready?

 

We all checked in that our ranks were ready and we waited, we waited for what seemed like an eternity, then we heard the General making the final rally of his army.

 

General: Now, grunts, you are about to fight the greatest battle of this campaign, win this fight and the planet is ours, you will eat and live and drink the blood that is so like wine to our parched lips. *He pulls out a sword to hold in one hand and a whip for the other* CRY HAVOC, MY ARMY, AND LET LOOSE THE DOGS OF WAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

And it began like drums, the slow rolling rumble of thousands of heavy feet striking the ground, as they came toward us, Robin knew he must inspire our rag tag army of conscripts, for they trembled in their shoes.

 

Robin: My friends, my brethren in arms, be frightened. They come to destroy us and to consume us, but shy not from that fear, use it. Fight for your lives and win!

 

There is a roar of approval from the crowd, chains are shaken, guns are fired, and the charge begins. I rushed along next to my friends and we met them in the middle, bodies were cloven by the giant swords of the enemy, aliens die left and right as guns are fired. I attack and kill destroying more lives that I ever care to remember, alien and human they fall like the drops of blood that cover the field of battle on which we stood. Mortars fly over my head, explosions and fire rain down on us killing friend and foe. I see my love doing battle with the General, using his most advanced weaponry he inflicts many wounds to the General, but none fatal as of yet. As the battle rages it looks as though we are on the losing side. The aliens kill more of us every second and the Teen Titans are nearly gone. Cyborg is dead, his entire metal torso severed by a massive strike from a jagged blade, to my surprise Jinx is standing by his lifeless body, defending it with a savagery that is on the level of tigress. Raven has been dropped from the sky into an ungraceful pool of blood, a crossbow shaft protruding at an odd angle from under her right breast. BB lays on the ground his outstretched hand and desperately opened eyes, a silent and eternal testament to his final effort to reach his beloved.

 

Me: Robin, what are we going to do, out friends are lost and the battle bodes ill.

 

Robin: We'll fight, and die to the last man falls!

 

As his battle rages, I continue to fight along side the men, until I see Robin, my love, is struck down by the general, his sword cutting through his chest breaking his rib cage and sending fragments of bone into his heart and lungs. I rush to his side as he slowly dies of suffocation. His eyes look up at me his damaged mask falls away leaving only dark brown eyes, the eyes of a leader. On his dying breath he reassures me of his love and tells me all will be fine. The rage, it welled up inside me, so intense I could feel the heat in my eyes and cheeks. I looked up at the General and attacked him with a hate that knows no bounds. He is not recovered enough to withstand my full power his death comes swiftly, and is very painful. With their General dead the army's moral is almost shattered, we killed all that was left of them and burned their foul remains. We also looked among the fallen for our friends and loved ones, I find the rest of the titans and bring them back to the tower, Cyborg and Jinx I clean and repair, to be buried in adjacent graves. I remove the shaft from Raven's chest and clean the blood from her face so that she and BB may also be buried in together. Finally, Robin, my own beloved is wrapped and cremated, his ashes strewn over the city for which he sacrificed so much, and now I stand alone. I am the final pillar of order, the last one who upholds and semblance of justice. My name is Starfire, and I will forever stand for what me, and my friends believed in. I will honor their memories by continuing to punish those who do wrong. I am Starfire, I am powerful.
