I tried everything, I really did. Meditation wasn't any help with anything, go figure, and I tried going to Nevermore, but that did happen either. Staying in my room only brought one little annoying shape shifter, a big brother, an orange princess, and the team leader knocking on my door. More than likely thinking that it had to do with another Malchior thing. It didn't, and I would rather replay through that again than this.
I had headaches that lasted forever, and all awhile, I'm trying to get into my head and see if Happy starting annoying Rage again, and yet, somehow, my emotions blocked me off completely with what's happening in my own head.
It got so bad, that I started to have random break outs in the middle of doing something. For example, we were on a mission, a mission, and Robin simply told me to go over to the exit quickly, and Timid came out, and I started on a dumb rampage on how he shouldn't yell at me. Starfire ended up saving my butt by going over to the exit and catch the robbers right before they were about to sneak out. Robin later chewed me out for that, and even though I tried to tell him about my emotions, he wouldn't listen to me. And, yet again, Star saved my ass by telling him what I had be saying. So I vowed that the next time she asked to take me shopping at the mall, I was going to happily except.
So now, I'm sitting in my room, in the lotus position, of course, hovering over my bed, my mirror in front of me. When I finally think that I've meditated enough, I touch the tips of my fingers to the mirror, and luckily, I'm sucked in, landed on my feet in Nevermore.
I looked around the rocky road, and the black sky, dotted with red stars. Something pats the ground ~pat pat pat~ and it makes me turn my head just in time to see a green cape flutter out of sight. I sigh deeply and close my eyes. Taking in a deep breath, I think about where they would be. Two places came to mind, the first was Wisdoms, because she always has room for everyone, and her place is nice and tidy. Then the second one would be Knowledge's realm, after all, she was the one that kept track of my memories, and whatever was happening, knowing all that I have in the past may come in handy.
I thought to check out Knowledge's place first, so I start my walk to her realm, and it was long, but not as much as I remembered, which meant that I must have landed close by.
I walked into her library, and saw what I thought I would. Knowledge was looking at a book, Brave, Happy, and Wisdom crowded behind her, Timid was in a corner, Rude was in the kitchen which was open to the library.
"Explain." I said forwardly, looking at all of them, and taking a seat by Timid, so I could see all of them.
"Well," Knowledge started. "first, how did you get here?"
"Knowledge," I glared at her, using my threatening voice. "answers now questions later."
"Right," She pushed up her glasses and cleared her throat. "Wisdom?" She turned her head up to the right, and panic spread across Wisdom's face.
"Ugh," Sighed Brave. She spoke up. "We've had some…" She thought of the word. "problems with Rage, and so we decided that we could just lock you out of your mind and then figure this out ourselves." It was as I feared, so I turned my head towards Happy.
"I told you not to throw flowers in her realm, Happy!" I said.
"Hey! It wasn't me! Rage started to act up on her own, I had nothing to do with it…this time." She muttered 'this time' quietly. I sighed and my hand came up to my head.
"What's she been up to?"
"She's trying to get out again." Wisdom said.
"Raven, we need her to stop. If she gets out, then she'll rule and make up for the 17 years you've held her captive." Knowledge warned. "She's been in there so long and has held her power for so long, I just don't think that you'll be able to tame her unless we make a deal with her."
I started at Knowledge. It was the day that I've ever hear Knowledge say that she wanted to make a deal with Rage. If I didn't know any better, then I'd say that she's crazy, but if it came from Knowledge, there really couldn't be a way around it. I chewed my bottom lip, thinking. "What kind of deal do you have in mind?" I asked her.
"I was thinking something like letting her out in your battles." Knowledge suggested. It wasn't a bad idea for some of our villains, but for some of them, but other could likely die.
"But if we make a deal for every battle, then what about the ones that could actually die?" I asked. "She'll get out if I don't hold up my end of the deal."
"Yeah, I know," Knowledge said matter-of-factly. "that's why we make a deal that with the ones that could possibly die with an encounter of her."
I thought a moment. It was a tough choice, but she was going to get out and hurt the people that are close to me if I don't do something about it. I sided with the idea, and we all stood up, heading for the doorway. When I was right under it, I turned to the six emotions following me. "Next time, come tell me, or else." I warned them. They nodded, Timid saying how sorry she was, and we continued to Rage's realm.
When we got there, a scream pierced the air, and the molten rock the was freshly dried shook with the bangs she directed to the walls of stone that I had put up to lock her away. She screamed her bloodcurdling scream once more, causing Timid to flinch, Brave raise an eyebrow, Knowledge look expressionless like Wisdom, and Happy a bit curious, and Rude to blench. I had a determined look on my face as I marched forward and opened a way into Rage's realm, closing it quickly after we all entered.
"Rage?" I called out. "Rage, where are you?" The only thing that lighted Rage's realm was the lava that flowed by like a river, and the cut off, going under a dark long hallway, and lead out in another room. She screamed again, the walls vibrated.
"Come on guys," Said Brave. "we're going to have to go down the hall." Timid looked kinda scared, but when Brave gave her another look, she nodded her head, trying to prove that she wasn't a baby. I nodded my head, and we started down the hallway.
The walls shook once more, and then repeated a few times before Rage screamed. It was pitch black in the hall, and I just gave up trying to walk over or around the rocks that tended to stick out of the ground, so I floated out the rest of the way. When we got out, we saw that Rage was screaming again, pounding her fists on the wall, causing it to shake under her rhythm. I glanced over and saw her cage, which was like a piece of scrap of aluminum, crumbled up and tossed to the side.
"Rage," I said. "stop. I've come to make a deal with you." She turned at looked at me, her arms from the elbow down, still on the wall from where she was pounding, her hands locked tight in a fist. The red slits she had for eyes looked at me, it was as if she were mocking me some how, glancing me up and down, thinking of rather or not to take her time to listen to me. "And you don't want to miss out on it." I added.
She laughed in an evil way and looked at me. "What? Finally being let out of the damned hell?" She turned her body fully to me, taking her arms off of the wall.
"Yes," I replied. "I want to make a deal with you if you promise to stop trying to get out."
"Maybe if I was out of here, I wouldn't be trying to get out." She crossed her arms over her chest. "Never thought of that, did you?"
"Just listen to the deal Rage." I said, getting a little annoyed. She remanded silent. "If I let you out when I'm fighting, will you stop trying to get out of here?"
She thought for more than one moment. "And I get to get out during the day." She said. I was about to object, but her hand came up and stopped me. "I mean just out of my realm. I won't get in any fights with anyone as long as you keep that pink most off me!"
"I don't know about that Rage," I said. She started her glare. "maybe." Then added. "If you have good behavior." She slightly growled, causing an eyebrow to raise on my forehead. She stopped.
"Fine," She said and walked over to the corner, where suddenly a bed with just red sheets on it appeared. "deal."
