Chapter 10

The men that surrounded the Titans charged. Robin charged at the nearest few and started taking them down. ‘There’s too many!’ he thought as the next wave poured over them. In the corner of his eye, he could see Hawk and Beast boy struggling to keep the onslaught from taking over. Starfire was at Terra’s side, each helping the other in an attempt to lessen the fierce attack.
‘Shit shit shit shit shit.’ he mentally cursed. ‘There’s no way we can win this one...’ as if someone heard his thoughts, a new wave of people flowed down upon them, he heard Star scream and he whipped around to charge at her attacker only to be hit from behind and knocked to the ground, out cold.
Starfire watched as the man came closer with a club in his hands, she wasn’t able to move out of the way as he jammed it into her stomach, screaming, she fell to the ground unconscious. Beside her, Terra was hit in the knees, causing her to fall and a man rushing forward and injecting her with a sleeping potion.
Beast boy soon saw the downfall of the battle. ‘I have to get to Raven!’ He thought furiously as a few men grabbed him and dragged him to the ground. Transforming into an elephant, he managed to shake them off before trampling over to Hawk and throw the men off of him. Transforming back, he picked up an unconscious Hawk and looked at the men reforming, one stood in the front with a gun in his hand. ‘Raven...’ was the last thing he thought before the sound of a gun shot rang out.

“They have been captured My Lord. The green one is just awakening. He has been treated. The men weren’t supposed to shoot him” a sigh was heard. “They never listen.” he murmured.
“Very good. Bring the green one to me in her cell.”
“Right.”
Raven heard the distant footsteps fade into nothingness before the door opened and Alenar walked in, smiling.
“You hear that my love? They are guest like you are in one of the cells nearby.”
Raven didn’t look at him, her heart cried out in pain. ‘He’s hurt and it’s my fault!’
In what seemed like a distant way, she heard Alenar respond to the knock at the door. “Enter.”
The door opened. She didn’t need to look up to know that they had just brought Beast boy in.

Beast boy moaned as he woke, his arm seared with white hot pain.
“You, up!” A man ordered.
Beast boy attempted to transform but found a collar similar to the one that had held him when he was captured by the alien. It changed as he did. Finally giving up the futile attempts and the pain in his arm, he followed the man before him.
They walked down a series of hallways. Beast boy tried to remember just incase he could somehow escape, they had passed the cells where he could see the other Titans, still out cold.
They stopped before a bolted door and the man knocked on it.
“Enter.”
The man pushed the door open and dragged Beast boy in by the collar. He attempted to pull away but his strength failed him and he fell to the ground.
“You may leave.” Alenar dismissed the man who bowed and walked out, shutting the door behind him.
Beast boy glanced up and say Raven who was chained to the wall. Her head was down and a light cast a shadow over her eyes. “Raven.” he whispered sorely, his voice full of yearning, of wanting to be close to her. He managed to get to his feet and take a few steps over to her. Alenar watched with interest as he did so.
“Raven.” beast boy said, a little louder this time. She refused to at him as he fell before her. He reached out and tilted her chin up to see her eyes filled with silent tears, cascading down her cheeks in waterfalls.
“Your hurt.” she whispered.
He shrugged it off. “Don’t worry. We’ll get you out of here.” ‘I hope.’ he thought before wrapping his arms around her in a loose hug.
Alenar took the moment to take the end of the chain on beast boy’s collar and yank him back away from Raven. Fastening the clasp to the wall, he walked in between the two. “I was waiting. I had to make sure I had the right guy.” he walked towards Raven, who tried to back away only to come in contact with the wall.
“What happened to when Azarath was a peaceful planet?! We never had wars until you started it.” Raven said, as he neared.
“I only did what the people wanted me to do. They were sick of this pacifist plane of existence. Times have changed dear Raven, and for the better I believe.” He grabbed her chin and she tried to fight back what she knew was coming.
“Leave her alone!” Beast boy screamed, trying to break free of his bindings.
“Make me.” Alenar said, eye’s alight with desire. He drew Raven’s lips to his and kissed her. She struggled against his grip but to no avail.
Beast boy pulled at the chains that held him back. “Raven! Leave her alone, leave her alone!” he screamed as Alenar moved his hands over her body.
Raven refused to cry, she refused to show Alenar the satisfaction that he had hurt her. Inside, her heart cried out, the pain of both her and Beast boy’s rang in her mind, in her soul. ‘Make it all stop, please, someone anyone. Make it stop.’
Suddenly, the sound of a stone wall breaking and a thunderous roar filled the air. Alenar backed away from Raven and she opened her eyes to see the terror on his face as a giant shadow loomed over him.
