A/N: Many thanks to Celtic Aidan, Painestwin, DarkChild5 and AccidentProne for reviewing and I'm sorry for the delay, I'm in my final year in college and the workload is pretty heavy. ;;
Once again all language in Gaia's home language will be written like "This"
As the Titans snuck into the city Gaia was being brought on trial in public view.
"Here, turn your visors to heat-sensivity, then you can see them." Raven hissed. The titans swam further into the city, taking care not to be seen, but then, there was no-one to see them.
"Where is everyone?" Robin whispered.
"They... they must have finished torturing Gaia, they're going to excecute her." Raven breathed panic stricken. And, as if on cue, the main square of the city became visible, there were thousands of people gathered there, but plain as day was Gaia suspended in a large metal cage.
The man who appeared to be the leader spoke, Raven translated for the others.
"And so my fellow citizens, we have finally brought to justice the demon that has plagued us for so long!"
The crowd screamed at Gaia, things were thrown but Gaia sat there with her eyes shut.
"She is guilty of crimes against our society, of fraternizing with other species, of theft, assault of our precious guards and worst of all the heathen murders of fifteen innocents of our city. What say you!"
The crowd screamed a single word as one, guilty.
"And how do you plead heathen?"
Gaia stood up and stared at the crowd. "I am guilty of being born into a society that tortures it's own, that represses freedom and kills those who are most vulnerable. You're all guilty of trying to murder me as a child, of chasing me from my birthplace. I am cursed with powers I did not ask for, but they could have been gifts, they could have helped advanced our planet, but instead I was to be cursed. I am guilty of the deaths of fifteen of our people yes, but I was eight, and they were trying to-" Gaia was cut off by the primal screams of the crowd.
"She did it?" Beast boy whispered.
"She actually did kill those people..." Cyborg echoed.
"Yes, but they were trying to murder her and it was an accident!" Raven snapped irritated.
"Raven, we cannot interfere with the justice system of another planet, especially if they're right. If we freed her... we'd be saying their laws are irrelevant, this planet's justice system is primitive, but they need to develop it themselves. I'm sorry." Robin said slowly.
"But Robin! This is love, Gaia would not mean for-" Starfire began but Robin held his hand up to silence her.
"No Star. I'm sorry Raven, but we cannot do this." Robin sighed.
"Then you will condemn her to death!" Raven screamed in disbelief. "They've tortured her for days, and now they're going to KILL her and you'll stand here and watch this!"
"No. Because we're going to leave." Robin stated before turning his back and swimming away.
"You may leave, but I'm going to stop this madness!" Raven snapped swimming towards the crowd.
"Raven! No!" Robin shouted after her, but it was no use.
"Before you are condemned to death, we will exorcise the demon from your body." The leader stated. Six men surrounded Gaia and dragged her to the centre of the arena, Gaia struggled but was pinned with her limbs spread out onto the floor. Four of the men drew out swords and stabbed them through Gaia's hands and legs to pin her to the floor like an insect.
Gaia's scream reverberated through Raven's bones, Robin grabbed her by the ankle and dragged her back.
The Titans watched in awe and horror as from around Gaia rocks, water and sand melded together to form a giant golem which swatted away the guards, the golem grabbed one guard and squeezed him in its fist until a red cloud exploded in his place.
Suddenly the golem stilled and looked down at it's own hands and at Gaia below it who was twitching in pain with blank eyes. The golem raised its fists into the air and the ground below cracked and white-hot magma poured up into the golem, its right hand formed a spike and, rapidly cooling, it plunged it down into Gaia's body.
The golem steamed and cooled, an eternal statue would be there, many around it were dead, including the impaled Gaia.
"She... she killed herself..." Robin breathed.
Raven's emotions exploded, Robin was flung back as Raven became a large black shadow with four red eyes, it soared towards the cooling golem and scrabbled at the floor where Gaia lay, but no life was left there. The shadow of Raven exploded, sending a shockwave through the water and hurling people back, leaving only Raven's sobbing form clinging to Gaia's body with the towering solid golem above.
Raven stroked Gaia's face, the bar over her nose and cheeks was blank and her face was relaxed and peaceful. The other Titans landed gently by Raven's side and led her away before the planet's rather shocked inhabitants could get back and attempt to kill them too.
A/N: I know I know, but this is the end. I didn't know it was going to end this way until I wrote this chapter, I'm as surprised as you are, but I shall leave it this way. It's a good ending.
