Kyd Wykkyd is one of my favorite characters in Teen Titans, mainly because there is little to no information about him. Let's make a kickass story together, shall we?


On the outskirts of Jump City, a lone figure stood above the rooftop of a barn on a late Sunday night. His crimson eyes surveyed the rural landscape before returning it's frightening glare to the old, yet occupied, wooden building merely 300 yards from his position. The sign outside of the building was cracked and rotting, though it was clear to see the name "Church of the Hanged Man" etched in the old wood. Kyd Wykkyd narrowed his eyes slightly in thought.

'What are those humans up to...?'

The Church of the Hanged Man had an infamous history in the county, though it's legend rarely passed out of the boundaries of Jump City. More than several hundred years old, it was founded by a group of ministers who were... suffice to say, fanatics who idolized magic. The belief that they could achieve power through unorthodox, sometimes downright evil, means coursed through their minds as well as with their followers fervently.

The Church was closed for more than 150 years ago, though the stories never seem to die off. All that Wykkyd knew about it was what most others knew in the city, that it was a place filled with an air of evil and malevolence which warded off most adventurers and danger seekers. That apparently did not stop the group of teenagers that Kyd had seen go in roughly a half hour ago.

Lowering his head, Kyd whipped up his cape and teleported near the church. Once he was near the doors, he attempted to put his hand on the door handle before experiencing a mild shock. Luckily unable to speak, he did not make a sound as he jumped back and waved his hand around to cool the burn. 'Oh right, how could I possibly forget...?'

Being a half demon certainly had it's perks, but one of the annoying aspects was being uable to go everywhere on this planet, more specifically what was considered to by "Holy Ground". 'There is nothing even remotely holy about this place, though I suppose it is still technically a Church...'

It was at this time Kyd wished he brought the other members of the Hive Five with him. At least they would be able to go inside and guage what was going on. But then again, they probably wouldn't even care to go inside to begin with. Sighing to himself, Kyd teleported to the nearest window and peered at the teenagers inside. Sure it was spying, but villains don't really have a problem with that.

Focusing his eyes, he saw the four teens sitting around the floor with a small board in front of them. Thanks to his supernatural attributes, he was able to hear the teens talk and laugh in the building, though that wasn't what had his attention at first. Looking at the board for 10 seconds, Kyd Wykkyd widened his eyes and facepalmed, not believing the idiocy he was witnessing.

'Oh you fucking fools, what do you think you're doing...'


"Jen, pass the blunt already!" A dark-haired male complained while holding out his hand to the female in question. He was slightly pale in his complexion, a slender build, his eyes a deep blue, and he sported a small tattoo of a half moon on his left hand.

"Get your own, I paid for this one!" The one named Jen stuck her tongue out at the boy. "If you weren't too lazy to get a job Chris, you'd be able to buy your own weed."

"Alright, settle down you two." The one speaking was a red-head, complete with freckles and a seemingly permanently goofy look on his face. "Are you three ready for this?"

"John, this is pretty stupid." The fourth person spoke quietly, crossing arms that were laced with cellulite, seeming to jiggle with each movement.

"Glad you think so Carson, because you're going to ask the first question." John replied with a toothy grin, pulling out a small wooden piece from his pocket and placing it on the board. Jen put the blunt on the ground carelessly, not bothering to stomp it out as she got ready to participate.

In the center of the room was a wooden Ouija Board, now complete with the supposed mouthpiece to speak with ghosts or demons.

"Alright everyone, put one hand on the wood." As everyone complied, they all felt a slight chill in the room, though it was barely noticeable so they paid it no attention, neither have the noticed Kyd Wykkyd making hand gestures frantically in the window to get their attention.


'Stop you dummies! Stop, you don't know what you're doing!'

Kyd could hardly believe the stupidity of these kids, especially after he felt the same chill. However, unlike them he knew what it meant. A gateway into the dimension was open, and they might let something... or someone undesirable in.

Unable to get their attention, he mentally sighed and returned to listening in on their conversation, his eyes fixated in the Ouija Board. 'Maybe nothing bad will happen...'


"Uh... Hello. Is there anyone there?" Carson began, his nervousness lightly laced into his voice. The four teens waited around, though nothing seemed to happen. "See, I told yo-" The wood piece slowly began to move, shutting him up and making everyone stare with wide eyes.

"Yes".

"Uh... John I think it's your turn..."

"I know that, just hang on..." John was visibly sweating, though he continued on. "So... How old are you?"

"What kind of question is that?" Jen stared at him with a deadpanned expression.

"It's an old Church, I just wanted to see if he was was on those that were sacrificed back then in those...rituals..." John spoke hesitantly, as if he didn't want to know the answer as a last second change of heart. The wooden piece moved with their hands on it, towards the numbers.

"9-8-0-9".

"Woah... This guy is almost ten thousand years old!"

"Keep it together John, it might be one of the original spirits." Chris seemed unusually excited. "It's my turn! What is your name?"

They heard a bang on the window, causing them to turn around in fright.


Kyd Wykkyd was throwing rocks and sticks at the window frantically, trying to get the attention of the teens. 'There is only one being that old exactly that I am aware of! They can't let him in! I thought he was banished!'

Suddenly, and without warning, Kyd was slammed into a tree by an invisible force. His head hitting a tree, he heard a growl echo through his mind. A voice came through to him telepathically, the menace in it clear and unmistakable.

'Do not interfere, spawn.'

Kyd looked up slowly, his head throbbing from the pain. His vision steadying and refocusing, he saw lights dancing in and around the church. Blinking several times, a feeling of dread caught his internal organs as his heart sunk.

The Church was on fire.


"Maybe it was a bird..." Jen offered weakly. John and Carson looked at her with a dumbfounded look, while Chris looked back at the Ouija Board with Anticipation. "What? They fly into windows all the time... What's that smell?"

As if on cue, smoke seemed to fill up the room, along with an unbearable heat. Flames slowly rose and danced across the ground at a frantic rate, the old wood and aged tapestry being perfect fuel for the fire. Jen looked down in alarm at the source of the fire: the blunt she had forgotten to stomp out had caused this... But how is that possible?

Before she can wonder, John grabbed her and Carson by the shoulders before pulling them to the door. "Chris come on! We gotta go!" Grabbing the door handle, he tried opening it, though it was as if someone was holding it close. "What the... Guys break it down!"

While John and Carson were trying to break the door down, Chris was reading the letters from the Ouija Board that the specter was spelling out for him.

"T...R..."

"CHRIS FUCK THE BOARD! HELP US!" The others cried out as the flames rose up and began to eat them alive. However, it was as if Chris was unaffected by the flames, like someone or something was shielding him from the wrath.

"I...G..."

The room was deathly silent, apart from the flames that had burned through his comrades and silenced them for all of eternity. Whatever was holding on to Chris and kept his rapt attention made sure to keep him focused on the board.

"O...N... Trigon." The hole in the middle of wood piece suddenly glowed red, along with Chris's eyes that have now matched it's color. Within a matter of seconds, the whole Church erupted into a mega fireball, leaving behind three charred corpses, the remains of the church, and a small, untouched circle where the Ouija board and Chris once were.


Kyd Wykked walked around the perimeter, surveying the damage while keeping his ears on alert. Surely there had to be some witnesses to the fireball, meaning the titans may not be far behind. He just had to be sure that what he saw was real. 'I can't believe he had the energy to do this... Isn't he banished?' Wanting to test a theory, Kyd stepped inside the scorched remains of the church slowly with some hesitance. Surprisingly he met no resistance. 'I guess you need an unholy force powerful enough to taint holy ground...'

Feeling a familiar presence approach, he ran behind some trees and watched the favored heros of Jump City reach the crime scene. 'The Teen Titans... I wonder what they can find here.' As he thought this, he looked to the right and saw Raven, the heroine with the dark blue cloak. 'Maybe she might know something...'

Of all Kyd's powers, his favorite would have to be his most used: Telepathy. Able to speak to someone's mind without anyone else able to hear or interfere definitely had no downsides. Now, getting Raven to come to him without being hostile or bringing her whole team would be a different story...


Raven arrived at the abandoned church, or at least what was left of it. The whole place was a ruin, with scorch marks littering the ground and the unmistakable smell of death. The putrid scent left much to be desired, though those in the Titan line of work ought to be used to it by now. Spying the three bodies tucked away in the corner, she could see now where the stench was coming from. Robin surveyed the area before rushing to the carcasses, his detective mode he learned from Batman kicking in.

"Alright team, those looks to be recent. Spread out and keep your communicators with you. If you find something or someone that could have done this, report and regroup immediately." With the other members nodding in compliance, Robin turned back to the crime scene to find the source of the fire, taking note of the circle in the middle of the destroyed Church that remained unblemished. With Beast Boy and Cyborg taking the left and Starfire going north, Raven opted to go right.

'Raven, come closer.'Startled, Raven looked around for the source of the voice, only to realize it came to her mind. Replying to the voice, she sent the voice signal around her vicinity, taking care not to have it enter the minds of her fellow titans.

'Who is this?'

'I saw the whole thing. Keep calm and come to the trees. I swear I mean you no harm.'

Cautiously, Raven approached the trees with one hand up defensively, and the other hand on her communicator. The voice was unfamiliar, yet it knew her name. Making it to the trees, she looked behind it to see no one.

'Look up.'

She immediately looked to see Kyd Wykkyd, waving at her with a finger on his lips. Recognizing him as one of the Hive Five, she got into her stance proceeded to read off her spell loudly. "Azarath Metrio-"

'SHHH! Do you want to know what happened or not?!'

Raven stopped and gave Kyd a more focused look. Now that she realized it, he looked he got smashed around like a toy.

'I got smashed by a tree, thank you very much. Yes, I can hear what you're thinking.'

Raven glared at him and kept her mind clear. "Did you do this?"

'No, but of you're anything like me, you won't like the answer.'

"What do you mean, anything like you?"

'I'm a half demon. Judging by your chakra and the signature of your magic, I assume we are similar.'

Raven stared at Kyd Wykkyd before crossing her arms. "I will neither confirm nor deny this. Why are you using telepathy to speak?"

'I took the vow of silence. Technically, telepathy doesn't break the vow.'

"Trust a villain to find loopholes." Raven sighed.

'Trust a hero to have a problem with what does not concern them.' Kyd Smirked.

Raven blinked and spoke in her monotone. "If that's the case, why did you stick around if none of this concerned you?"

'...Touche. So about the church... Do you know what it takes to make holy ground unholy?'

"A powerful unholy force... I am guessing that's why there are three dead bodies?"

'There were four teens. They brought a Ouija Board into this abandoned church. You can guess what happened next.'

Raven's eyes went wide with shock. "They let something in... and that's what caused this?"

'Not something. Someone. A demon who's power has no equal... A creature who's lived many millenniums with only one goal. To conquer and destroy everything in his path.'

Raven felt her blood run cold through her veins, as a rare emotion flooded her body. Fear. "Y-you're lying."

'Hardly. Trigon has been set free, and most likely now has a human host he is attached to. Hence the missing teen.'
