Scene Continuation: The Fight For Terra!

Sep 05, 2005 22:06

((Clean cup, clean cup, move down, move down, move down...))

Control Chamber: RobinGlaring at the man that had caused him so much grief and pain, Robin clenched his fists tighter. His masked gaze had only widened, his teeth visibly grinding like so many times before. Anger was boiling in him all over again, "No, I'm not like you," he snapped ( Read more... )

((make sure you reply in the right place here, guys... here is for the main battle...))

-Take it all... if it'll keep you-- and your friends-- safe...- He thought back to her, squeezing her hand in return... this was more than he had hoped for, but he knew they were far from 'good'... -Call it pay back for hijacking your power before...-

Re: **Reply to Raven...** poes_girl September 8 2005, 03:13:49 UTC

She nodded, then concentrated on the barrier. She could hear Terra screaming, and felt a sudden surge of fear. What if Slade heard and came to help his apprentice?

-Thank you.-

She thought quickly, trying to keep most of her mind focused on the shield.

((Sorry I disappeared earlier, my computer did the not working thing again. Blargh...))

Silvestri closed his eyes and held tight to Raven's hand, focusing inward with her, feeding his strength, his mind, his life into her, giving her every scrap of power he possessed. It was like a tangible essence leaving him in a flood, but there was still more. And more. And more...

-As long as it holds... as long as we stop her... as long as we all get out of here. Together.- He could hear Terra screaming for help, the intesity of the tremors increasing exponentially, and he blocked it out, blocked it all out... the only thing in his mind was Raven, the shield, her friends... survival.

-Victory...-

((As Terra...))

-... not coming... not coming... he's... not... coming...- the words filtered through her mind, inbetween the memories that couldn't be, there was no way they could be real...

Except... they were. She could tell, on some deep, buried level, that they were her own. Her vision cleared enough for her to catch sight of the walls tumbling down around those who had been her friends... around Beast Boy...

"Master!" She cried one last time, her still cuffed wrist held out in front of her as though to ward off danger.

-He's not coming, Terra.- Katze's voice sounded in her mind, amplified by his contact with Raven. -He abandoned you... again. He didn't save you. They did.-Those words, and the truth behind them, wrenched a wordless cry from her lungs and she thrust her hand into the air... the light went out of her suddenly and she collapsed, the aftershocks quieting with conspicuous ease. A moment of stunned silence passed before all hell broke loose... her body lay amidst the rubble of the lair... and the rest was ready to ( ... )

**Reply to Robin...** xxdeathstrokexx September 8 2005, 02:44:47 UTC

((And Robin... this is just for you... ;) ))

"If only you knew how very alike we are, Robin..." Slade drawled, an edge of something akin to sadness in his tone... "Then perhaps you would understand."

Facing the monitors as he was, Slade knew exactly why the complex had begun to shudder... but he also knew that Robin did not... he let a slow triumphant smile that he did not truly feel creep across his mouth... and into his voice.

"Game." He took a step forward... "Set." Another... "Match!" He cried as he lunged forward, weakened, but still stronger than Robin could hope to be for sometime...

Re: **Reply to Robin...** maskedcrusader September 8 2005, 13:26:10 UTC

A familiar frusteration tore at his thoughts again, one that still denies that they were alike, and the other that hated to admit it, but none-the-less, did so anyway. Tensing, he could feel the worry start to filter into his expression abruptly when Slade's triumph had began to show, and that's when a cold feeling traveled throughout every angle of his body. 'Something's happened to them... or...'

"No!" Robin cried, but belated in his attempt to move; Slade had already sprung forth. In a last-second (literally) effort, he twisted to the side just enough and rose his leg to drive it towards the man.

Re: **Reply to Robin...** xxdeathstrokexx September 9 2005, 00:43:39 UTC

Robin's kick caught him unawares and he fell heavily to his knees, the air knocked completely out of his lungs. Gasping for breath, he reached up blindly and grasped Robin's cloak, hauling himself upward even as he pulled Robin down.

"Yes, Robin... even if you manage to... incapacitate me, you won't be able to leave this room, let alone the facility in time to save your friends. Surrender now, and I'll call off my apprentice."

It was a bluff... but it was one that Robin was susceptible to...

Re: **Reply to Robin...** maskedcrusader September 9 2005, 01:18:04 UTC

Robin had started to move away, and then the clutch upon his cape yanked somewhat, finding himself at a brief lack of air. He was keeping himself up on his feet, but barely, his knees starting to bend and want to pull him down even more. Forcing a glance back at Slade, his narrowed gaze only intensified with worry. His attention was still far from the monitors, and at this point, he didn't even realize that Slade was bluffing.

And Robin was falling for it.

He felt his shoulders begin to slump, or try to, and his once tightly gritting teeth fell into a frown. "How do I know you won't kill them anyway, Slade?" he growled.

Robin could feel every muscle in his body tensing within him, almost frozen to spot; another minute of wasted time was only making it a step further towards the probability of his friends' being hurt... or killed. His upper lip stiffened briefly, and so did his movements; in a dementedly ironic way, Slade had never lied to him, really.

Despite all the trick and strings...all the villainy, Robin couldn't quite recall a single lie that had parted from Slade. That didn't make it okay for him to agree...infact, he didn't want to. But there was no other alternative that he could clearly see, now.

It was him, or his friends. And his friends were the important part.

It was obvious when his decisions were made. His shoulders slowly slumped, and his gaze fell from the man for a moment, "As long as they make it out alive," he replied bitterly.

xxdeathstrokexx September 10 2005, 01:04:19 UTC

"You have my word." Slade said, releasing Robin's cloak and placing a gloved hand over his heart. "I won't hurt them at all."

Which wasn't to say that they wouldn't be crushed by falling rocks or something else equally unpleasant...

elsewhere in the complex

Impulse found himself in a dark hall after phasing through a wall. He took in a short breath each time he felt the ground quake.

-not. good.-

The anxiety only intensified as he wandered through the darkness. He then turned a corner and spotted a security camera.

-where could you be hiding?-

Confidence restored, Impulse cocked his head and smirked at the camera. He knew who would be watching.

"You just wait."

xxsilvestrixx September 9 2005, 03:49:20 UTC

((Picked a good time to come around, Impulse.. *rolls his eyes...*))

zoom_kid September 9 2005, 21:01:50 UTC

((I just pop up out of nowhere whenever I feel like it. What can I say?))

xxsilvestrixx September 12 2005, 04:23:04 UTC

((We were losing the thread off the side of the page... ^__^; ))

His eyes widened as he watched with the others...

"It-- It's actually working?" He tried to keep the majority of his shock and incredulity from his voice, but it was a hopeless battle...

poes_girl September 12 2005, 04:33:09 UTC

Raven didn't even hear him, so deeply involved in shifting the rocks that she had blocked out everything else. Terra's power was strange, and Raven knew she could easily make a mistake, so she focused on the power and nothing else.

-It just has to hold till we can get away...-

xxsilvestrixx September 13 2005, 00:27:39 UTC

As the moments passed, Silvestri became increasingly agitated. A pressure built behind his eyes as it had when Terra's memories had flooded through him, but now it was accompanied by a sharp wrenching pain in his chest. He clutched one hand over his heart, biting his tongue to keep from crying out.

-What is this... ?-

His mind flooded with icy numbness and he leaned against the nearest bit of wall, focussing on Raven's work in an effort to keep his eyes open...

-Adrenaline had to wear off eventually...-

_beast_boy_ September 13 2005, 00:39:02 UTC

"Dude, I have no idea what's going on here..." He said aloud, before realizing that no one was listening. Frowning, he turned his attention to the strange boy that was accompanying their team. The unfamiliar teen was slumped against the wall, his hand pressed to his chest. Beast Boy took a hesitant step towards him.

"Hey, are you okay-"

He shielded his eyes, as a spray of rock and gravel tore through the space, an errant stream from Raven's unsteady manipulation of the earth.
