1Raven wing, Phoenix fire

Prolog

AR: yo. This is one of the few Teen Titan stories I'm going to work on for awhile. I'm in the middle of a gradual move you see. Anyway, here's the disclaimer. ArashiRyuu does not own Teen titans, Naruto (slight reference in this story but better safe than sorry), Legend of Dragoon, or final fantasy. He does however own most of the OC (I will note ones I've modified with permission.) and Task force XZ. It's not mainstream yet but will be, sooner or later. This chapter is set about, three hours before Nevermore. You'll see.

At six o' clock, the titans were doing their usual thing. Robin was training, Starfire watched, Cyborg was working on his "secret project", Beastboy was fixing a soy ice cream sundae. Raven was meditating in her darkly lit room when she felt a presence. "Who's there?"

"No one of particular importance, Raven of Azarath." an astral figure appeared in front of her. It was a man of about forty. He had dark red hair, green eyes, and had a sword on his back. He looked around. "Nice room. A little dark by my tastes but, nice. Friends call me Pendragon by the way."

Raven asked the reasonable question. "What do you want?"

Pendragon grinned. "Straight to the point I see. Very well. I wish to train you and one other in my style. Think before answering, there is no rush."

Raven said quickly, "Not interested."

"That's what I figured you'd say. Well, we'll see. Anyway, I have to get going. I have one other that I need to offer. See ya." the astral figure vanished.

Raven went back to her meditation when the alarm sounded. She sighed and walked out her room.

The black haired teen was walking along. He was wearing a lower face mask, a katana, and a black suit. He heard a voice say, "Greetings, Vincent Koumori."

The teen growled. "Who's there?"

"No one of particular importance, Vincent of the Koumori clan." Pendragon walked out from a bunch of trash cans. "You'd think people would learn to take care of their garbage better." he smiled at Vincent's confused look. "I'm here to offer you a proposition. Train under me and I'll unlock your potential."

Vincent said, "I'm a failure to my clan. I have no potential!"

Pendragon sighed. "Is that what they told you? They strayed from the right path years ago. As such their blood has lost much of it's power. I'm offering you a boost to do what only your ancestors could. The offers on the table." he started walking off.

"Wait." Vincent said. "What would it entail?"

Pendragon turned and said, "Training. And getting you a better weapon. It doesn't take a genius to realize your sword is cursed and broken against you."

Vincent thought a moment before saying, "I'm in."

"Follow me then. We'll have to wait awhile for my other student to prepare herself." said Pendragon.

Two days later, two cloaked figures appeared on T island. The taller one looked around and grinned. He walked up to the giant T and rang the bell. After about three minutes, he scowled. "Expositus Ostium." he snapped his fingers and the door opened instantly. "Three, two, one." the alarm started sounding. The figure sighed and put his hands in his pockets. Pretty soon, all five titans were at the entrance in battle formation, Cyborg first. The figure looked at the business end of the sonic cannon.

Cyborg asked, "What do you want?"

"May we come in? Or we can talk out here, if you rather." said the figure calmly. He lifted his hood to reveal his identity.

Raven stated, "Pendragon?"

Beast Boy asked, "You know this guy?"

"Friend or foe?" asked Robin.

Pendragon smirked. "Depends on who you ask. In that sense, I'm not that different than you. Actually, I'm here to help you, somewhat." he asked Cy, "Could you please point that away from me? I mean no harm."

Cy asked, "How do you know Raven?"

"I used a simple enchantment to speak with her two days ago. Now to business." said Pendragon. "I'm an Enhancer. Which basically means I have a knack for spotting hidden powers and unlocking them almost instantly. I have watched you five for a while and I have noticed hidden abilities in all five of you. I could unlock them, but I can only train the one closest to my own abilities. I could unlock your abilities, if you wish."

Raven asked, "What's in it for you?"

"Practically nothing really. But we must all serve a purpose and this is mine. Think carefully, this is a life altering thing and there is no going back. Come back here tomorrow at dusk. I'll be here." said Pendragon. He sat down and fixed himself a cup of tea.

Robin asked, "How do we know you're telling the truth?"

Pendragon smiled and took out a knife. He made a cross shaped scar on his right hand. "On my lifeblood, all I have said is true."

Robin nodded and the titans walked back into the tower. The other figure asked, "What do you think they'll do?"

"We'll see." said Pendragon. "Tea?"

The titans held a meeting. Robin asked, "What should we choose? He was pretty vague as to what these abilities were."

BB asked, "How do we even know what he's saying is true?"

"A lifeblood vow can only be taken back one way; the heart stops, completely." said Raven. "He is telling the truth. But that doesn't answer the question."

Cy asked, "I say we have him give a test on one of us. Otherwise, we'll never know."

"But who?" asked Starfire.

They sat thinking for about five minutes before Robin said, "I'll do it. As leader it's my responsibility." shortly after they all agreed to go through with it.

BB asked, jokingly, "So, when's dusk?"

The next day, the titans walked out side to see Pendragon playing chess with the other cloaked figure. Pendragon noticed them and stood up. "Have you decided?"

Robin looked at the other titans who nodded. "Preform it on me first."

Pendragon smiled. "As you wish." he put his palm on Robin's head. "Anrokku." Robin went stiff. It felt like all of his molecules were being mutated at an incredible speed. Deep within his soul, he saw a door being unlocked and flung open. He was brought back to Earth with a jolt. \

Pendragon asked, "How do you feel, Suzaku?"

Robin said, "Huh? I feel fine." he noticed the others looking at him weirdly. "What?" Pendragon took out a mirror and showed him. He couldn't believe it. He had flaming wings, and red tints in his hair but the third fact was the most surprising. He wore a red suit of armor and carried a sword of fire. "Wow." he suddenly felt exhausted and kneeled from it. The armor, sword and wings vanished.

"You need practice maintaining that form." said Pendragon. "Who's next?"

Starfire stepped forward. "Me."

Pendragon sighed. "To tell the truth, I've never performed this on a Tamaranian. What will be will be." he placed his palm on her head and said, "Anrokku."

Starfire felt a similar jolt, except it was concentrated in her eyes, hands, and feet. When it subsided she said, "It did not work."

Pendragon smirked. "I wouldn't say that. Perform a starbolt, but focus it on your hands and feet." Star did as instructed and she sent a barrage of starbolts forward without trying hard. She was startled and stopped. "I think you should work o n restraint. Next."

Cyborg walked up to him. "Let's see what you got, Wiz."

Pendragon chuckled. "Your talent might have been activated on it's own, were it not for that accident. As such it may have mutated to suit your currant needs." he sighed. "Novo."

Cyborg felt a large jolt. He looked inside his mind and saw his memories play in front of him. Then he felt his body start to change. He gasped and was brought back to reality. "What did you do to me?" Pendragon handed him the mirror and he saw that he was human again, with clothes. "I thought you would unlock my ability, not change me back."

Pendragon sighed. "The hardware got in the way, so I removed it. Anrokku."

Cy felt several small jolts all across his body. Afterwards he asked, "What now?"

"Voco Amplus Silex Silicis" said Pendragon. A large rock fell towards Cy.

He caught it in his hands like it was a baseball. "Wow."

"Dimitto" said Pendragon. The rock vanished. "Next."

BB walked up. "What about me?"

Pendragon grinned. "Yours is not so well hidden, young one. Anrokku."

BB felt a small jolt and started changing. First into a hydra, then a Minotaur, and a Big Foot looking thing. After he changed back he said, "Make the world stop spinning."

Raven stepped forward and looked at Pendragon. 'Don't reveal my secret.'

'No promises, Karasu.' out loud Pendragon said, "Anrokku."

Raven felt one powerful jolt after another, ten in total. Each jolt looked like she was hit with something. On the last jolt, she lost her footing and fell. She opened her eyes and got real angry. She grabbed herself and writhed around as if in pain. BB tried to help, but he was thrown by a wall of obsidian energy. Soon she returned to normal. She asked, when she caught her breath, "What happened?"

"You were introduced to the ten schools of elemental magic, each governed by a powerful being. Part of you fought it." said Pendragon.

Raven looked at where BB was and closed her eyes. She asked, "Could you train me to control my power?"

Pendragon sighed. "Yes. But it will be a long road. Do you wish to travel it?" Raven nodded. "Then allow me to do one last unlocking." he walked over to the other hooded figure and put his hand on his forehead. "Anrokku Koumori Ketsueki." he formed a cross at the last word. To the figure it felt like his blood were on fire. When the feeling subsided, he was shaking.

Pendragon smirked. He took out several parchments and handed them to the four other titans. He explained, "These are my suggestions for training methods. Please forgive me for breaking up your team but I'm afraid this world is not safe until Raven has mastered her power. We will return." he motioned Raven and the cloaked figure towards himself. "Eo Ire Itum" a bright light shone and they were gone.

AR: hi. Most of the incantations are in Latin. I'm using an online dictionary. Anyway, their basically what they are. Meaning that Eo Ire Itum equals travel. You'll have to tune in next time to see where they travel to. Please review. Sayonara!
