This story is dedicated to BlackShield, who has, at least been there to have a conversation at 2 in the morning (my time). She has also helped me with... a few stories. Awkward silence Well, it's dedicated to her.

Chapter One: Blood Red Skies

A storm was heading towards the Tower. However, this was no ordinary storm. For one, the clouds were Blood Red. And second, there was no rain or lightning, only huge claps of thunder, loud enough to trigger your hands to your ears. This was a Demon Storm, a storm that only existed in the Twisting Nether, or could be conjured by an individual with such power. That individual was atop the cloud, her eyes focused solely on Titans Tower. She wore Black, Demonic chain armor over her chest, and legs. A Plate Mail also covered her chest, along with more Plate Armor covering her forearms. Plate Legs went over her legs, and Gauntlets over her hands. To top it all off, she had a twisted, demonic, spired helm over her head. Blue eyes that glowed with an unnatural light glared out from under the helm, while Blue hair fell from underneath the helm as well.

The people below the cloud pointed and gasped. And then, a bolt of Red Lightning flew down to strike the ground, and when said event happened, the people of Jump City panicked. The girl's eyes had glowed a faint red while the Lightning Bolt was in mid air, but went back their normal blue state after the Bolt had dissipated. At first, she had thought only about what she was supposed to do, but her mind began to wander. These... "Titans" must have some powerful enemies, considering the amount that... Slade, or what his name was, guy was paying. The anger in his voice... it's like he has failed to do what he hired me to do many times. I can't be bothered with that though... I need the money he promised, so I can save her... that's all that matters...

Titans Tower rooftop, 8:53 P.M.

Raven sat, cross-legged on the roof. She chanted "Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos. Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos." Starfire sat beside Raven, in the same position, except she wasn't chanting. Vampyre was standing on the edge, eyes closed, hands clasped behind his back. After all three standing or sitting for about three minutes, Raven's eyes popped open, as did Vampyre's.

"Vampyre do you feel that...?" Raven asked, while chancing a glance in his direction. He hadn't moved.

"I do. I also smell change... and death."

"I sense change, but I don't sense death."

"You can't always sense what you can smell. Sometimes your sense of smell is the most useful."

"I suppose so..."

"Friends! Why is that cloud sick?" Starfire asked, pointing to the cloud with the girl stop it.

"Uh... Starfire? Clouds don't get sick." Raven replied, looking at Starfire. But Vampyre followed Starfire's outstretched arm to the cloud

"But friend Raven, the cloud is the color of blood, which comes out o-"

"That's no ordinary cloud!" Vampyre interrupted. "It's a demon cloud, which definitely isn't a natural part of anything I've ever seen in any un-Hellish realm."

"So you've seen this kind of thing before?" Raven asked, frantically, as the cloud was about 1-2 minutes away from the Tower.

"Only in the realm known as the Twisting Nether. Only the most vile creatures live there, and the whole realm is in nothing but chaos."

"... That's not good."

"Nope." Raven clicked her communicator, and Robin's face appeared.

"What's up?" Robin asked

"There's a blood red cloud, heading straight for us, and it seems it's a 'demon cloud', which generally exist only in the realm known as the Twisting Nether."

"Need any help? What should the three of us do?"

"Nothing, for now. We'll monitor the situation, and if it gets worse, I'll contact you." Raven replied, looking, once again, at the demonic storm that was headed their way.

"Okay."

"Friends! Why does the cloud have someone standing on it?"

"Because, Starfire, that person is controlling the storm. We have to take her out first. There's no telling what else that storm can do." Vampyre said, setting his sights on the girl, and preparing for a fight.
