The Beginning of the End
A prophesized birthday, a fiery demonic insignia, and a familiar hand breaks from its condemned prison…
This was all two months ago…
Chapter One: The Prophecy
The Titans were all exhausted from their most recent encounter with Mumbo. He had to hypnotize the Titans into robbing banks for him. But his plan was once again cut short by the mystical Raven.
…Flash Back…
"Ha-ha-ha! I've finally done it!" smiled the blue magician, Mumbo. "I've finally committed the perfect crime." He looked down at the zombie like teenagers walking out of the bank with sacks of money on their backs. "Well, you know what they always say…If you can't beat them, join them! Or in this case force them to join you!"
But deep with in the subconscious mind of the most mysterious Titan there was a plan being formed…
"What are we to do!" yelled Curious Raven. "We've worked too hard to make ourselves good for some low life magician to throw it all away."
"I say we just go and kick his…" Brave Raven was about to say before being cut off by Gross Raven.
"Naw…I say we just let Raven do his dirty work so that way we get to go to Mumbo's hideout at the dump," said Gross Raven sardonically.
"No!" shouted Happy Raven aghast. "We should shower Mumbo with happiness to clean up his sad heart! I'm sure we can transport some flowers from a store or something. Or, no, maybe we should make a card. Yeah, that should do it." Happy Raven would have rambled on if Curious Raven hadn't cut her short.
"Alright, besides that," she started staring at Happy Raven, "does anyone else have any ideas?"
"I say we let me go and I'll take care of everything…" replied an evil raspy echo in the deep confines of Raven's mind. "Let me go free and I'll make everything alright."
"No! We can't do that…" replied Fearful Raven, "We'll destroy the world! We're trying to save it…We can't do that…I'm too scared of what might happen…And you know what happens when I get scared…" The other Ravens nodded in agreement at the memory of the movie Wicked Scary.
"Anyways…Timid do you have any ideas?" she wanted to kick herself after she said that though because she knew what was coming.
"I'm so sorry…I don't have any ideas," she said her eyes brimming with tears. "I really want to help, but I'm not nearly as smart as the rest of you. I'm so sorry I'm not good at figuring out things…I'm so sor-" but she was cut off by Curious Raven.
"It's alright Timid, it's okay, please don't cry…" But that only caused the waterworks to start.
Tears running down her face she cried, "I'm sorry but I'm going to cry…Please don't be mad!" She shouted water now pouring from her blue eyes onto her gray cloak.
"Oh…Does anyone have an idea!" Curious started shouting.
"Like I said before let me take over and I'll kick his blue butt all the way to Gotham city! C'mon please!" she begged stretching her arm out to shake on it.
"Oh, fine, everyone okay with this? Just one thing Brave-" but she was once again cut off by Evil Raven.
"Let me control her, let me out of this prison and I promise I will let us win. Believe me…Believe me…Believe-" Her evil voice started to weave it's Satanic temptation into it's voice as well, but Brave Raven catching on suddenly said.
"I'll take that as a yes and see you guys later!" she yelled before levitating off at top speed to the Forbidden Gate.
'I will get out of here soon…' thought Evil Raven, 'It's literally only a matter of time…'
Back outside in Jump City Brave Raven took control of Raven's body. 'Whoa! I'm finally outside, it's been along time. Okay, what should I do first…? Save the other guys or go after Mumbo…um…' She took a look over at Robin loading a very large sack of gold into Mumbo's upturned hat. 'Maybe I should help out Robin first and let him come up with the plan, I don't mind being the muscle this time.'
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos…Azarath Metrion Zinthos…Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" and with the final incantation she entered Robin's mind again. Flashes of his past flew past her, two shadows in a cave, two bodies falling off of a circus big top, to more recent memories, Slade, Terra, Brother Blood, a certain young Tamaranean's betrothal, an interrogation with Beast Boy and finally her birthday. Then she was in his mind. "Robin! Can you hear me? It's Raven. Well, actually it's Brave Raven but who cares! Can you hear me! Hello! Hello?" she sighed this would be harder than she thought. 'Looks I'm doing this the hard way, just the way I like it.' So she set to work breaking through the mind control, literally.
Little Mumbos came running at her. "Hi-ya!" she screamed as she burst through the first line of attackers. "C'mon is that the best you little guys can do!" she mocked. Apparently not because she reached the inner mind of Robin and gave him back control.
Back outside Robin shook his head trying to find his bearings; he was in the bank that they had come to in order to stop Mumbo, then a watch and darkness. "Well, that was strange…" he muttered as his eyes fell onto the sack of money in his hands. "Whoa! What the-" but he was interrupted as a voice inside his head started yelling at him.
"Yo, Robin! What's up? Glad to have you back, I don't think we've actually met before," yelled Brave Raven to the reawakened hero.
"Raven, is that you?" asked Robin still bewildered at what was going on.
"Yeah, it's Raven, well more or so part of Raven…Well actually I'm just one of Raven's emotions, but I can still…Oh, who cares I'm no good at explaining I'll let Curious take care of that," said Brave Raven to Robin.
"Curious? Another Raven? Alright…Are you going to stay in my head and tell me what to do or are you going to come out, or what?" asked Robin still completely confused.
"Oh, yeah, forgot about that," muttered Brave Raven. "Be out in a sec!" And with that she whisked out of Robin's eyes and stood before him.
"You're green!" was the first thing that came out of Robin's mouth. "I'm sure Beast Boy will be jealous…"
"Yah, I'm sure he will come on let's go save him." Said Brave Raven already levitating towards the door.
"No, wait. I think we should just go and take down Mumbo that should break the spell on the others…" suggested Robin.
"Hey, whatever, man, you're the boss! I freed you first 'cause I knew you would have the plan." Answered Brave Raven glad to have someone be the brains.
Together they walked out of the bank and immediately took their fighting stances. "Mumbo give us back our friends!" yelled Robin eager for a fight.
"Well, well, well. Did the little witch figure out how to break my spell? Oh, well I'll guess I should just skip to the finale!" then taking out his watch he whipped it around until it turned into an actual whip and whipped it around like a lion tamer and the other three Titans came by his side. Then copying the words of Robin he yelled, "Titans, Go! Wow, that is really cool to say!" he smiled at Robin mockingly.
Beast Boy, Starfire and Cyborg all attacked Robin and Brave Raven. Their eyes were glazed over but that didn't seem to affect their attacking style. Brave Raven was ready for a fight though and was on the attack. She took to Beast Boy first while Robin took on Cyborg, and Starfire just floated above sending a barrage of Starbolts at both targets.
"Come on BB! I'm your friend! You know you don't wanna fight me." Pleaded Brave Raven to the zombie like changeling. He changed into a snake and lashed out at her with his fangs bared. "Okay, fine if that's the way you're gonna be…then you leave me no choice…Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" and with that she brought a telephone pole out of the ground and wrapping it and it's wires around the green snake's mouth. It changed into a Tyrannosaurus-Rex but the wires were too tight and it did nothing.
"WROOOAAAR!" he screamed in his prehistoric form.
"Okay, BB, I'm not gonna hurt you, I'm helping you." And with that she flew high above him into the clouds, he turned into a crow to follow her but she was much faster. When she had enough of a lead she started chanting again, "Azarath Metrion Zinthos…Azarath Metrion Zinthos…Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" And as the bird started flying towards her, her bird soul self collided with him and the bird stopped in midair, frozen in thought.
Images of his past flew by her, ones much different than Robin's, a little boy sick in bed, a green mongoose, a purple mask on a drawer, then one's she recognized, a blonde girl floating on a rock to meet them for the first time, a butterfly clip, a tornado of rocks surrounding the two of them, Terra running off, her return, Titans Tower rising above the ocean, the date that had been the turning point of her career, a broken mirror and cut hands, a broken heart, her betrayal, he disposal of the Titans, his heart shattered, anger and rage over broken dreams, a cave with her on the ground begging him to destroy her, his rage getting in the way of his usual sympathy, he didn't want to give her anything she wanted, tears streaking down her face during their last battle, a jagged rock pointed at his heart, Terra's last moments and last tears, her statue and her plague, many meetings back to her final resting spot, his chemical transformation, the hurt he felt when he thought he had nearly killed Raven, the embrace after the Malchior incident, and last the resurrection of Slade which proved that Terra's sacrifice had been in vain.
"AH! Whoa, that was some baggage he's got there…BB, can you hear me? I'm here to help! We've met before, I'm the green version of Raven the one you called a marine!"
"Dude! What's going on! I can't see anything!" shouted a voice in the corner.
"You can actually hear me?" answered Brave Raven a little shocked.
"Yeah, what do I look like an idiot?" yelled Beast Boy.
"Um…well, it's just that in Robin's mind I had to fight off all of these little Mumbos to get to his brain…oh, never mind…" sighed Brave Raven. Just then the same little evil Mumbos came out and attacked. "Oh, yeah, surprise attack! You little guys aren't as stupid as I thought!" she yelled as she smiled.
After a short battle with the annoying little pests Brave Raven reached Beast Boy's inner mind and gave him back control. She popped out as Beast boy regained conscious. "Yo, you feel better?" but then she noticed that he was still a bird and well he couldn't exactly talk. "How, about we get down to the ground and fight off Mumbo?"
The bird just flew down to the ground and Brave Raven followed. When they reached the top of a building he morphed back into his human form. "So…Marine Raven, what's going on? I remember going to stop Mumbo, and then he pulled out a watchy thingy and blah…nothing. And oh, yeah, why are you here? Where's Raven?"
"Oh, she's still unconscious it'll take a little to wake her up, she's been really tired lately, and we decided to let her sleep a little bit… C'mon we gotta save the other two! Do you think you can help me take out Mumbo? I think we just gotta break his watch and that should free the other two…I'm getting kinda tired from entering people's minds, it's very complicated…" she sighed not wanting to waste time trying to explain the ways of telekinesis to someone of Beast Boy's mental intellect.
"Oh, alright…" he muttered then started around before continuing. "So…what we are we going to do?"
"Oh, wow…Um…I'm not entirely sure. I guess we should come up with some sort of plan…" she said quietly to herself her eyes falling onto her little green friend. "Can you change into a crab? I think I've got an idea…"
Beast Boy turned into a crab and Raven quickly grabbed him in her hands, "I'm gonna need to do exactly as I say?" she ordered but then realized that he couldn't say anything back and continued to speak. "I'm going to aim you at Mumbo's watch and I want you to break it in half…Can you pull that off?" after no response she took that as a yes and flew down the street below. Positioning herself right behind the watch-whip baring Mumbo she took careful aim and levitated the little green crab into the air. 'Sure hope this works…If not…I'll guess I'll just have to kick his blue butt all on my own…'
With that last thought in mind she hurtled Beast Boy into the air. Her aim proved true and Beast Boy sliced right threw the watch, breaking the spell on Starfire and Cyborg who had been battling Robin.
"We are we?" questioned a stunned Starfire.
"Yeah, where are we?" questioned Cyborg who was rubbing his head trying to figure out where he was.
'Guys, is Raven awake, yet? The others are up and I'm super tired…' sighed Brave Raven.
'Yes, I think she's strong enough to come out," answered Curious Raven and she walked over to a girl in a blue cloak. "It's time to wake up, Raven, come on now, wake up!"
"Huh? What? What's going on?" she asked bewildered. "Why am I in my mind?"
"You were too tired from all the stress you've been going through is what I figured. So, unlike the others it took you longer to come to," but noticing that Raven was confused she added. "Don't worry we sent Brave Raven to go and take your place temporarily…She did a pretty good job, but she's very tired so it's time for you to go."
"Oh, alright. I just wanted to know exactly what I was going back into. So I take it we won?" answered Raven a little more refreshed.
"Of course!" answered Curious Raven happily. "But you really must be going now…"
And with that Raven was transported back outside and changed the cloak back to blue and went to congratulate her friends.
"Great job, Raven!" yelled Robin motioning for her to come over.
"Thanks, but I didn't do it alone," she smiled inwardly to herself. 'Thanks, girls…'
…End Flash Back…
"Alright, it's been so much fun watching Beast Boy reenact the latest battle 30 times, but I'm seriously tired so…" she looked over at the other Titans with her sarcastic scowl and continued. "Night…" and with that she walked through the sliding door and down the hall to her room. 'What a day, I really need some sleep…'
She continued to walk down the hall and pass the stairs to the basement and turned the corner towards a door labeled RAVEN. She punched in her password and walked in. She took off her cloak and threw it on the ground, she was too tired to care about clothes at that moment and lay down on her bed for a good night's sleep.
Images passed threw her mind, cleaning out her mind of all the things that had happened during the day, some would call these dreams, but to Raven it was a subconscious form of meditation.
Mumbo's face, all of her emotions, a green crab, a cave with two shadows and then a sinister voice that she knew all to well.
"Raven, oh, Raven! Where are you?" snickered the raspy demonic voice of her evil self.
"I'm right here you demon!" screamed Raven back.
"Oh, now don't down yourself, little bird, you know you're just like me…" mocked the voice.
"I'm nothing like you!" she screamed back she was starting to lose control.
"Now, Raven, how can you say that?" sneered the voice and then in a much deeper voice it yelled back "I am you!"
An enormous red demonic looking monster rose from the deep confines of Raven's mind. "You will accept your destiny!"
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos…Azarath Metrion Zin-" her chanting was cut half way finished by evil laughter.
"Oh that trick won't work this time, little Raven, I've already dealt with them! MWHAHAHA!" laughed the Evil Raven demon. "Rage will consume you!"
"Never! I won't let you take me without a fight!" shouted Raven back her hands glowing with a black aura that was ready to strike.
"Oh, I wasn't planning on you not fighting back," he answered coolly. "In fact I brought a little friend to come and fight you…Rise, servant! Fight as I say!"
Suddenly the resurrected Slade rose from the ground fire exploding from underneath him but it didn't even leave a singe. "Hello, Raven it has been a while hasn't it?"
"Not long enough…" cringed Raven knowing that there was no way she could defeat Slade on her own especially with his immortality and fire powers. "What do you want from me anyways?"
"All I want is The Prophecy that was told to you on Azarath when you were a young girl…or demon…whichever you prefer," answered another voice much more demonic and sinister than the Anger Raven. It was the voice of her father; even his presence brought forth enough evil to condemn the poor mind of the young teenager.
"No! I won't tell you!" screamed Raven slowly losing her strength and control. "I would mean the end of…the end of…" then her eyes went red and doubled and she started speaking in a possessed voice,
The end of all reality
The end of her control
The end of every mortal
The end every soul
This child will bring
Destruction and death
Along with curses
From Hell's depth
Nothing can stop
Her evil rampage
Not even her friends
Will end her rage
Her demonic heritage
Will consume
Her every nerve
Bringing forth doom
The world will fall
To her and another
One who can call
Himself, her father
He will bring out
Her evil side
Killing the good
Leaving him to decide
Her destiny
And her fate
The side she's on
Leaving no time to wait
For someone to come
And be her hero
They'll all be
Gone down below
So heed my warning
Do not intervene
Her destiny is waiting
It's all been foreseen…
With the last word Raven collapsed into a heap on the ground and all started to go black, but before she lost consciousness she heard the faint yet fierce voice of Trigon.
"So, I will control her…It's only a matter of time…"
"No…you can't…I…I…won't…ah…" and all went black.
