Chapter 10-Cloaked Figure
As they burst through the entrance of the warehouse they were met by an army of menacing robots. They were everywhere. A group of them stood in front near an exit where the head criminal had fled. Another group stood ready on the terrace of the warehouse.
“Alright gang, split up. Titans Go!” Robin commanded taking the lead.
He charged the robots in front trying to follow the head person. Robin defeated them swiftly using his marshal arts skill as well with the help of his trusty poll extender. He rushed through the door behind him only to be confronted with another army of minions. There seemed to be no end to these machines the more you destroyed the more that came.
Raven and Beast Boy worked as a team. Beast Boy would corner them to a wall and then Raven would use her telepathic powers and slam a heavy object crushing them to bits. Soon Beast Boy and Raven had finished off their robots and headed off after Robin. As they got closer to the door Robin went through more robots appeared blocking their entrance.
“Stand back. Let the master take care of this problem.” Beast Boy told Raven turning into a green rhino charging into the mass of metal. In a matter of seconds the door way was clear to continue leaving scraps of mangled metal.
“Show off.” Raven said rolling her eyes and following him through the door way after Robin.
Cyborg and Starfire took care of the robots on the terrace. Cyborg blasted the robots with his cannon slicing and dicing them to a burned heap of scraps. Star flew up towards the left side covering Cyborg as he ran blasting the robots off. Her eyes glowed a fierce green as in all battles she fought in, determined to succeed. Her hand glowed the same fire emerald as she shot star bolts at the remaining robots dusting them on contact.
“Hurry we must follow Robin.” Star anxious to be back at Robin’s side.
“Alright lets go then.” Cyborg said running toward the door with Starfire flying after him.
They too had the same problem with robots blocking their way. They took care of the pest problem with ease and continued down the corridor after their friends. They arrived to an all out war scene. Robin was in hand to hand combat with the cloaked figure and was slightly limping from and injury he received. Beast boy was transformed into pterodactyl fighting the robot masses from up above. Raven was having a difficult time fending off the ground robots see that it was about 75 to 1. All of the sudden Raven was thrown to the side like a rag-doll hitting her head hard on the wall and collapsing. Beast Boy hearing Raven scream turned to see her hit the wall and fall to the ground burley conscious. The robots taking this chance at BB’s distraction hit him full force, causing him to come plummeting down, skidding across the ground before he stopped. He tried to get up to go see Raven but collapsed from lack of strength. Cyborg rushed over to help BB up taking him to see how Raven was fairing. Starfire stood in front of her friends keeping the robots at bay as her friends tried to regain some of their strength. Robin was fiercely fighting the cloaked villain who fought back just as hard. The figure seemed to know his every move and countered back swiftly. They countered and attacked each other repeatedly occasionally getting a good shot here or there. Robin seemed to be gaining the upper hand in the fight delivering a round-house jump kick sending the figure flying into the ground. At seeing the figure was not trying to get-up Robin approached limping slightly favoring his left side. As he neared he could hear the figure groaning in pain and their hand’s seemed to be clutching its chest.
“Alright it’s over. Who are you?” He questioned letting down his guard a little.
“What..You..can’t..(pant)..figure it..(pant)..out yet?” The figure spoke breathing heavily. Robin remained quite pondering what she said.
The figure smiled evilly seeing Robin let his guard down as he thought. The figure rolled over revealing a small futuristic gun pointing it directly at him. He didn’t even see it coming until it was too late. The blast caught him directly in the stomach sending him soaring backwards at least 30ft. he managed to do a roll in mid flight landing on his feet but soon collapsed to his knees. The blast didn’t pierce his stomach like a bullet but instead managed to make a deep cut with the sides looking like second degree burns. Robin’s face was contorted in pain as sweat beads ran down his flushed face as he fought to say conscious.
“ROBIN!” Starfire screamed bloody murder as she watched him get shot.
Her eyes full of rage glowed a dark emerald green, her hands seemed to ignite with green flames twice the size as normal. She blasted the remainder robots in front of her self and her friends turning them to ash with one blast. Star began to proceed to Robin’s side to make sure he was ok. She was unaware that the figure had now turned their gun towards her as she approached Robin.
“Tell her to stay back Robin or else.” The cloaked figure said to the crippled boy wonder.
“Star NO! Stay Back! I’m fine.” He said through gritted teeth. He had seen the figure turn the gun towards Star as she approached him.
“But why?” Star said as she stopped her eyes brimming with tears. She had yet to see the gun or hear what the figure said. She was thinking Robin did not want her comfort and that hurt her brining tears to her eyes as well as the ones she already had.
“Leave her out of this!” Robin roared at the figure as they still held the gun steady in Star’s direction.
“Oh, Robin.” Star sobbed as she saw him struggle to get to his feet in vain. She turned to see why he was shouting at the person to reveal the same gun that shot Robin aimed at her.
“Who are you?” He growled not liking were this was going.
“That you will find out soon. Patience is not your virtue is it Robin.” The figure sneered at him.
“Well, looks like master was right about your weakness, Robin. I was beginning to think you didn’t have one.” The figure said looking Robin directly in the eye and then turning their head towards Star smiling sinisterly.
“You harm one hair on her head and I swear you will pay dearly!” Robin said seething as he finally got to his feet shakily.
“You are absolutely in no position to be making threats at me! For I will finish what my master started!” The figure yelled flinging the cloak off to reveal their presence.
“Terra!” All the Teen Titans gasped when the figure was revealed.
“That’s right. I am the successor to Slade and am here to carry out his final wishes, for he knew that in order to do so he wasn’t going to be around. It seems he was right.” She laughed sinisterly as she waved a hand signal to her robots.
The robots surrounded Raven, Beast Boy, and Cyborg making sure they didn’t interfere with Terra’s plan. Two other robots wheeled out a large covered object. Terra pulled the sheet off to uncover a large laser looking ray-beam. She went to stand behind it turning it on. The machine whistled and groaned as it turned on.
“Here is ware I complete master Slade’s plan to destroy you.” She aimed the giant laser at Robin who stood on shaky legs.
“He gave me strict orders on how to destroy you.” She laughed evilly.
“You won’t be able to destroy me that easily Terra.” Knowing full well he would be able to dodge a few attacks before the pain would become over baring.
“Oh, but you are. You see Slade told me that it was impossible to defeat you physically for death would just be a to easy of a way out. No he wanted you to suffer. For he found your one weakness the one thing that would bring you to your knees.” She sneered turning the laser away from him and aimed it at Starfire.
“Oh, no.” He now understood it wasn’t him she wanted dead it was Star. With in a blink of an eye he saw the laser turn away from him and aim toward his love. Yes love was his down fall.
“STARFIRE!” He yelled taking out a few of his bird shaped razor bombs as he ran in the direction of Star.
Star herd Robin scream her name in panic and it all seemed to happen in slow motion for her. She looked up seeing the large laser aimed at her and soon it followed a loud beeping noise as it shot at her. She saw the strong white light of the beam coming straight at her. She could have easily dodge it but was frozen in fear. Out of the corner of her eye she could see Robin running at her full force with a few of his bombs in hand. Tears spilled out of the corner of her eyes as she realized her fate. She closed her eyes thinking about all the wonderful times she had with Robin and the others as she awaited for pain to curse through her body at the impact of the beam. She herd a multitude of explosions go off a distance away. She was stunned when she didn’t feel any impact from the beam and slowly opened her eyes. When she opened them she came into contact with a masked face that was withering in pain. He grunted and began to collapse falling forward into Star. She gratefully accepted him into her arms. She kneeled down bringing him with her laying him in her lap.
“Oh, Robin why did you do that?” Star questioned sobbing into his hair. She held on to him tightly afraid he may leave her.
“Because I love you.” He whispered out painfully raising a hand to stroke her face tenderly. The blood had yet to stop coming out his stomach wound as his body began to tingle.
“Robin you still shouldn’t have done it in your condition.” Star pleaded with him as she tried in vain to stop the blood coming from his stomach.
“Ha, don’t you see? My one weakness is you. Slade knew death would be a lot easier for me than having to watch you suffer or die. Loving you was my one weakness. My down fall. But if I had a chance to do it all over again nothing would stop me from still loving you.” He laughed lightly as he felt his body begin to shut down.
“Oh, Robin. I love you too.” She said smiling lightly down at him tear streaming out her eyes like rivers.
“God, your so beautiful. Please remember that I always keep my promises and someway, somehow I will full-fill the ones I made to you.” He said consciously one last time as he strained his head up to kiss her.
Star sobbed at seeing him strain to give her a kiss as she leaned down to grant him his wish. His lips met hers weakly in a tender kiss of love. His breathing slowed as his hand slipped from her face falling lifelessly back to his side, blackness filled him and voices became distant, soon he couldn’t even feel Star’s lips against his own. Finally darkness consumed him.
Star felt as his last breath leave his body. His hand began to grow colder on her cheek and soon dropped stiffly to the ground. His lips stilled on hers as she desperately clung to him sobbing into her kiss as if it would revive him. The Titans had just finished off the robots and made there way toward their leader’s lifeless body.
“ROBIN, NO! Come back! Please, come back!” Star sobbed as she began to scream hysterically shaking his lifeless body hoping to gain a response.
“He can’t be…Can he?” Beast Boy said watching as Star shook his leader’s body making it acted like a puppet following its masters will.
“This can’t be real. He can’t be gone. He has so much to live for.” Cyborg said as the realization began to sink in, that his leader and friend was no more.
“He’s gone to a better place now.” Raven said as two single lines of tears cascaded down the sides of her cheeks. She hated to admit it but if it wasn’t for Robin she wouldn’t have had so many great friends.
To every ones amassment Robin’s body began to glow softly yellow and pulsate lightly. Star looked down at his body with wet puffy eyes that held a hopeful gleam. But to her disappointment and horror Robin’s body began to become transparent in her arms. She went to hug him closer to her body trying to keep what ever was doing this from taking him away from her. Her arms began to go through his body as only a faint outline of him still lay in her arms.
“ROBIN! NO!” She screamed as fresh tears poured down into a river of pain as she tried to grasp him but was met with only air.
“What the?” The other Titans stood wide eyed looking at Star to were she was once holding Robin’s body.
“He is really gone. literally.” Beast Boy pointed out.
“I can’t even pick up a trace of him on my computer.” Cyborg said tapping his arm in astonishment.
“I can’t scenes his presence either.” Raven confirmed for everyone.
Robin’s body had truly vanished into thin air…
