Rock 5 [Video]

[First, it's just...Terra, huffing out a breath.] Okay. Look, I know some of you probably saw...Beastboy's memory, from the other day. So I wanted to set some things straight, about--

[A flicker of a memory starts up. It's too late, Terra. An orange and black room, the color reminiscent of lava.]

You have had doubts in the past...made mistakes. But all that is behind you, isn't it?

[The man speaking is in two-tone orange and black armor, such that it conceals his face. He's speaking to Terra, in gray armor of her own.]

Yes.

You belong to me now, don't you?

I do.

From this day forward, will you serve me, and me only?

I will.

Will you obey my every command?

I will.

Will you fight at my side forever?

[He hands her a crooked S emblem. She attaches it to the front of her armor.]

I will.

And will you destroy the Teen Titans?

...I thought you'd never ask.

[Terra's face, which has been until now impassive, twists into a cruel, vicious smirk.

The memory statics out, into another. This time, the scene is a city, and it's deserted. Robots march through it; it looks like it was conquered. Over the city, a voice filters through a communicator, the same from the man before.]


A world without Titans. I was beginning to think I'd never see the day. But at long last, the city is ours. And victory is mine. Fine work, apprentice. You have made me very proud.

[Floating above the city on a rock platform is Terra, her face blank and her voice cold.] Thanks. It was fun.

[But the memory from there fades. Into her laughing, with a group of teenagers, one of them being Beastboy, outside a pizza place. Looks like Beastboy lost a competition of some sort, and everyone is enjoying themselves--

Static back to before. Terra, on her platform, where she was in that memory, but no others. It's dark once more.]
Section five is secure. Pretty quiet up here since all the people cleared out.

Get used to it, my dear. This city is only the first of many.

I know.

[So it continues. With the conquered city, with Terra fighting a magician-like villain alongside the kids from before, being a hero, and enjoying it. Walking with Beastboy and laughing, except ultimately the memory always goes back to her in that deserted city.]

Well, we did it. They're really gone.

[It flickers out, back to Terra's face, horrified and shocked.]

I-I. I.

[The feed cuts.]
