Dear readers: I hope that for some reason those of you that enjoyed A Wolf of Raven's Heart three years ago are still interested in fanfiction and choose to continue reading this story. I have not so much as watched Teen Titans or written fanfiction since then. I realize now I should have perfected the first story and not done a sequel. But I also realize that this is what fanfiction is about - having plot holes and OC's that aren't very plausible. It's a world where anything you want or anything I want can happen - any way we want it to. That is what I did with A Wolf of Raven's Heart, and I believe that is why people loved it. And so I won't spend much time explaining the plot in this story, it will just be action, fun, and magic. I also am much more capable of producing writing in the sense of it being complex, drawing you in, using literary techniques, etc. But that takes time. I obviously grew impatient with this, and will not waste time on that. The writing will be about the quality it was three years go. I will simply tell the story.

While the story of Raven and Silver may have been able to be wrapped up in the first story, there is still a bit more to tell. And I must finish the tale of this magical love. That is what I intend to do.

Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans. I own Silver and Foxfire, and Amy the Alchemist. Also, these crazy machines.

Chapter Two: Flesh of the Machines

"Help!" Foxfire called out to Silver, who was still marvouling over the hookshot. She and Silver, who had recently been reassigned to be part of her squad in the war against the robots, were in the middle of a battle against five of the most powerful robots they had yet encountered. The mechanical beasts were equipped with long blades, and blades they could throw at their enemies. They were also extremely fast and strong.

"Fox!" Silver leaped over one attacking robot, ran across the shoulders of another, and knocked Fox out of the way of a dual-attack in a matter of seconds.

"Thanks... but how come you haven't been running over them like that before?" Fox asked. She had landed in a small mud puddle. Silver helped her up.

"With the right motivation, these guys aren't too tough." Fox smiled up at him. "I guess so," she agreed.

XXXXXXXXXX

"Ok Raven!" Starfire began. "We shall get to work. You see over there?" she whispered, pointing.

"Yeah." Raven said.

"That is the camp of the evil machines. We wish to destroy them, yes?"

"That's... the idea."

"Then let us go and attack them now!" Starfire said. She flew up out of their camp, starbolts ready to fire. She was immidiately met by a stream of powerful lasers. With a scream, she landed behind the safety of their shelter.

"We have to be careful, Star!" Raven urged. "It's not like they don't know about us!"

Starfire nodded. "I am sorry."

XXXXXXXXXX

The sound of metal-on-metal rang across the grassy plain. Sweat streaked Silver's face, even in the cold February weather of Gotham. He held up his thin blade, trying to hold up two robot blades by himself. His left hand was on the hilt of his sword, his right supporting the blade, pressed against the flat side towards the end. Not only were the robots fast and strong, but they were at least ten feet tall. "Just.. DIE already!" BOOOOOOM!! The robot Silver had been sturggling with was suddenly a scrap heap.

"What'd you do?" Fox asked, both frightened and a bit happy.

"Umm... told him to die..." Silver said.

"Really," Fox said, "I'll try. DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE!!" Nothing happened.

"No, you gotta do it like THIS!!" Silver gathered a large amount of explosive power to him, and in a flash of silver light, the nearest robot lost an arm. "Uh oh.." Silver said. "I think I've made them mad..."

"Oh dear..."

XXXXXXXXXX

"Ok Star," Raven began, "There may be twenty of them, but they're the weaker kind."

"There is a ... stronger kind?" Star asked, trying to keep the obvious fear out of her voice.

"Unfortunately, yes, there is one kind stronge- ahh..." Raven doubled over, and her hands shot to her head.

Visions flashed in her mind. A dark cave... demons inside... darkness... silver light.

Then it stopped.

"Raven! What is wrong, friend Raven?" Starfire asked.

"Silver... he's in trouble... or-or he will be soon." Raven said. "We have to help-"

"Starfire, Raven, report!" Robin's voice said, coming from their communicators.

"Robin!" Raven exclaimed. "We have to help Silver! He may be in trouble!"

"Enough of that Raven, I told you you're reassigned! He can take care of himself."

"But-"

"Enough! Stay where you are. What's your situation?"

"Twenty weak robots, Robin commander sir," Starfire said.

"Take 'em out," Robin said, cutting the connection.

There was silence for a moment.

"Star?" Raven said finally.

"Yes, Raven?" the alien asked.

"I'm going to help Silver."

Starfire nodded. "I will be fine by myself."

XXXXXXXXXX

Silver was right. Whether or not the robots could feel, they were mad. They were attacking more fiercly than ever. Fox was still having trouble with the battle, but Silver was attacking back, just as fiercly. The rest of the gadgets on the belt Robin had given him were coming in handy. They included razor disks, like Robin had said, two grappling hooks, the hookshot, smoke bombs, small explosives, and small cartridges, that when attatched to a forearm, could fire five inch steel spikes.

Silver had sheathed his sword and stopped using magic. The sword was useless against their powerful blades, and now the robots seemed to be immune to not only fire, but silver magic. He had to rely on his speed and new weapons. By now Fox had practically given up.

Frantically, the wolf boy dodged through the attacking blades. He leapt into the air and threw two disks. They made two gashes in the robot's armor. He then landed on the robot's 'face', drilling metal spikes from his forearms into the exposed circuits. He planted two timed explosives on the face, then jumped off, throwing more small battery-shaped explosives into the insides of the damaged machine.

They exploded simultaneously, and the robot fell over, destroyed. "That's two, Fox!" Silver called, already having to dodge another attack.

Fox just nodded and watched in amazement. The entire battle between Silver and the machiens was a blur. Silver moved from one place to the other so fast that he almost left afterimages. The problem was, the robots moved just as fast. The two fully equipped robots and the one without an arm all attacked. Silver landed from another jumping attack, and slipped on a puddle of mud. He was falling, off balance, right as a thrown blade came at him.

It seemed to be in slow motion to the onlooking fox demon. Silver's extended an arm the break his fall, then before his feet even touched the ground, he spun himself around to face the blade. He planted his feet on the ground, and all in one motion drew his sword and batted back the spinning blade. It knocked the other arm off of the damaged robot, and the machine fell to the ground. Silver used the hookshot to quickly reach it and fired explosives and spikes deep into the fallen machine. It didn't get back up.

XXXXXXXXXX

"C'mon Star!" the alchemist Amy cheered. "You can take out those robots!"

"Yes Amy... but I will have to make a detour. You will be fine here, yes?"

"You know I've got protection spells on our camp. If I didn't we'd be fried."

Starfire took a deep breath. "I am going."

The alien girl flew in a wide arc backwards and around the camp, trying to stay undetected in the clouds.

The young alchemist waited back at the camp, looking across the battlefield in a pair of binoculars at the robots. She directed her gaze towards the clouds, but Star was high enough so that she could not be seen. Good... Amy thought. She should be alright. But what about Raven? She sure took off quick...

XXXXXXXXXX

Now only two of the fearsome robots remained. Silver made a move to perform a classic manuer to take the machine by surprise, and fired two steel spikes at it's exposed back. To his shock and horror, they bounced off.

"What the hell?"

"That's not good," the onlooking girl pointed out the obvious.

Silver grit his teeth. "Time to spice things up a bit..." He lunged forward, body glowing with Silver flame. Why he had not transformed into his more poweful demon state, he did not know. Foxfire had forgotten he could even do this, she had become so spellbound by the dangerous dance that was the battle before her.

Silver drew his sword which glowed as purely as it did when he had fought the horrors of heaven two months ago. It slashed straight through the arm of the machine. At the last second however, the mechanical beast moved away, and only the outermost armor plate was cut off. What lay below shocked and horrified Silver more than the evil minions of a Dragon King in Heaven ever had.

Beneath the metal plate was flesh. Living flesh. Silver could see veins and arteries running up and down it - and it looked like he'd drawn blood.

He dodged just in time. It seemed the machines did have quite a temper.

And they were alive.

Silver fired his last iron spikes at the beast, but they were deflected just as easily as they had been a moment ago.

Apparently, they were also learning.

Well, there's the end of that one. Acutally I have had most of this entire chapter complete for three years, but was too demotivated to continue. I just did some fine-tuning. Once again I'm trying to keep it fast and action packed. Enjoy, and please review! I sincerely apologize for abandoing the story of Raven and Silver for so long.
