The Blade of Kharana
(Authors Note: I have yet to see Series 5, so this is just a random storyseta year after "The End: Part 3".)
Prologue:
It had been a complete year since the alleged "end of the world" fiasco, and life in Titans Tower was much more relaxed because of it.
Robin had grown taller in the year, and because of this he was forced to upgrade his costume into a darker and less, as Beast Boy called it, dorky outfit. One of the more bizarre changed though was Robin, or Tim as he was referred to around the tower, had now decided that he didn't need to keep his identity secret from his friends. Especially after the incident with Raven, which made him realise how little his team knew about each other. In a mere week, everyone knew about Bruce Wayne, and the past Tim had lived before he had moved on. For Tim, his romance life could be worse, however the other Titans know that there is a reason why he chooses not to get a girlfriend, other than he thinks it could be a problem…
Starfire was much more relaxed, and after a discussion with Tim one night they decided that a relationship between them would not work, due to the dangers it could cause them. Now, Starfire kept in contact with a young Tamaranian boy named Knight, and there was talk (or gossip) around the tower that the relationship may be becoming more serious then anyone had expected.
Beast Boy was pretty much the same guy, except his dream come true of owning a Moped (as he says, "Totally upgraded up by Cyborg!") finally came to be after he inadvertently saved the owner of the store where his dream bike stood. When the call was ordered that trouble was a foot, him and Tim always drove side by side behind the T-Car, unfortunately this caused problems when he tried to park, as he always needed to find a good spot before he could rejoin the battle.
Cyborg had decided on the biggest upgrade of them all, after deciding that he was tired of being seen as just a machine he created a new metallic armour for himself, that actually looked like a human body. Plus, when trouble came out to play, he pressed a button and was instantly triggered into battle mode which consisted of his famous Sonic Cannon. The new look also caused news in his Love Life, and he was often seen around the city on his days off with his girlfriend Sara.
Finally, Raven. After the Trigon catastrophe, and a lot of support from Tim whom she grew more attached to, she finally grew confident in her powers, and realised that she was finally stronger than her "all powerful father". This then led to Ravens life becoming far more peaceful, she no longer had to meditate as much, and was more open with her emotions, and whilst some caused problems in the tower, like rage, she still had a level of control which was seemingly unmatched. Her costume had little change, especially in battle, but on hot boring days she usually lay around with the rest of them in casual clothes that seemed almost shocking at first. She also looked at her birthday with a great sense of joy, and it was on her seventeenth that life changed forever…
On the outlands of the city, right on the border that separated it from the rest of the world, a large portal appeared. It crackled, and then broke through the earth with a force that sent shockwaves throughout the city, causing the water to ripple and the clouds to scatter. From it, a symbol appeared of fire and then crackled again like a spark of electricity being set loose on an unsuspecting hand. The symbol burned into the soil, and then faded into the sand.
Silence greeted the city again, and as soon as the water was set and the sky was clear the sense that whatever had happened was other finally set in.
A hand burst from the soil, and then with a single motion caused the ground to split around it. Releasing the body that was encased within it, and granting it freedom. The body was then wrenched from the earth, and soon stood calmly. Glowing a soft black aura that surrounded it, then the figure raises arm, and places a black and red glove on it, before repeating with the second hand. His hair was spiked and faded different shades of black and red, and his clothes followed the same pattern as his hair, except he wore long trousers and a shirt with a large red symbol from some language unknown to all normal forms of life.
He looked around at the decay around that had been caused with his arrival, and then at the city.
He closed his eyes softly, grinned wickedly and muttered;
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos…"
Then he was gone.
