Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN TEEN TITANS (unfortunately :/)

Andddddd now onto the story :]

The ear-piercing alarm rang throughout the entire Titans Tower. Robin came busting through the doors of the Common Room to see that everyone was already there. "What's the trouble?" he asked them. "We are not sure!" Starfire exclaimed. "It just reported two serious robberies across town." Cyborg said. "No other description, we don't know what to expect."

"We may not know what to expect, but that's not going to stop us." Robin said. "Starfire, Raven, and Beast Boy, you guys take the northern robbery." They nodded. "Cyborg, you come with me to the south one. Titans, Go!" he said his infamous phrase, and they all took off.

"Yes, Titans." A mysterious voice came from atop the peak of a nearby mountain. "You come to me this time."

"Alright, Titans, let's be on the tips of our toes here. We don't know what could be waiting for us." Robin said through the communicator on his R-Cycle. "Gotcha." Cyborg replied from the T-Car, following close behind. "We will, Robin." Raven replied through her own communicator on the opposite side of town. Everybody sped up once again to their locations.

Robin was the first at his. As soon as he took his helmet off, he heard a noise. He stood still. Sure enough, the T-Car pulled up behind him with engines roaring, and Vyborg jumped out. "Yo, Robin, what are you-?" "Shh!" Robin interrupted. Cyborg hopped back into the car and shut it off, but Robin heard nothing else for the time being.

"Tell me, friends, is there something odd in this location?" Starfire asked when they got to where they were supposed to be. Beast Boy just shrugged, and he noticed Raven floating in the air, seemingly meditating. "Um, Raven? What are you-?" "Hold on." was the simple interruption he got from her. Raven slowly stood up, brushing herself off and coming back to reality. "Someone's here." she said.

"Uhhhhhhhh…" Beast Boy began sarcastically. "Are you delusional? Cuz' I don't see anybod-" "I just know. I can sense it." she quickly cut him off. "Friends?" Starfire had a confused look upon her face. "This is 'just plain freaky,' yes?" Suddenly a bomb landed right in the middle of the group and exploded, sending them all flying in different directions. Then, a giant boulder came flying at Starfire, but she dodged it and it hurtled towards Raven.

She quickly lifted her hand up, and used her powers to move the gargantuan rock away from her as best she could, which ended up leaning heavily on her foot. Raven's powers were now rendered useless; the pain enforced on her ankle was too great. Suddenly, a person in a black costume appeared in front of her, pointing an odd weapon at her.

"Who are you?!" Raven demanded, knowing she was helpless. "Wouldn't you like to know." came a man's voice from underneath the mask.

The weapon got brighter, but just as he was about to fire, a green ram came barreling towards him. He quickly teleported away, but not before firing a shot into the air as he did. It swept right past Starfire, severely startling her, and she fell, hitting the ground hard. In the midst of it all, the ram had narrowly missed the black suited man, and had instead hit the boulder behind him, crumbling it to pieces. Raven quickly pulled her foot out from underneath the rubble, and Beast Boy changed back to his normal form. "Starfire!" he shouted.

"It is fine!" Starfire shouted back. "Fear not friends! For I am ok-" Suddenly the man teleported behind her and grabbed her wrist, obviously not knowing how powerful she was.

"Eep!" Starfire squeaked as she quickly turned to shoot a starbolt at him. This time, the man went soaring. Starfire rushed over to him. "Please, tell us, what is your name?" she asked the nearly unconscious man. "Perhaps we can-" He quickly teleported away before she could finish speaking. Beast Boy helped the now limping Raven over to Starfire. "That was most strange-" Starfire began, but apparently the man was not done yet.

He appeared in front of Starfire once again, and quickly shot his blaster at her, knocking her out momentarily. Raven's eyes glowed white with rage, Beast Boy still helping her just to stand. "Azarath, Metrion, ZIN-" but before she could finish her spell, the man turned around and shot her also, though she was basically helpless.

Beast Boy was now furious, and his head started to pound. The man looked at him. "You might wanna tell your little girlfriend to come up with some shorter magic words." he said. "Your going to pay for that!" Beast Boy shouted. "Ha," the man laughed. "And who's going to make me, you?" Now it was more than just a migraine though. Beast Boy's whole body began to ache. He knew it was happening again. The beast.

"NO!" Beast Boy shouted. The man in black teleported a few feet closer. "STAY… AWAY… FROM ME!" Beast Boy kept shouting. The man teleported right behind Beast Boy and whispered in his ear. "Make me."

At that moment, Beast Boy transformed from his original self to the beast. This also happened to be about the time when Raven and Starfire regained consciousness. Starfire gasped, "Beast Boy!" The man in black instantly regretted his taunting, for he was now frozen in fear. The beast raised its heavy arms, ready to pound the man.

Raven quickly absorbed the man in her bubble of black energy and moved him out of Beast Boy's reach. Unfortunately, the beast did not approve of this. He charged towards Raven, and she quickly threw up her black aura. With an unknown force, the beast began pounding on it repeatedly.

"Raven!" Starfire shouted. She rushed over to them and grabbed the beast's arms, trying to hold its attacks against Raven. "No, Starfire, it's ok! Leave him be." Raven shouted to her. "Raven?" Starfire asked, concern coloring her voice. "Don't worry, I'll be fine." Raven assured her. Starfire flew back to hold the man in black.

Raven made a black bubble around her and Beast Boy only once he had stepped back a few feet. "Beast Boy, I know you're still in there. You have to calm down. Please." Raven pleaded to the beast. He started to calm himself. He had stopped roaring, and now he was breathing heavily. "There. See? It's okay. I'm okay…" Raven soothed. She took a step closer; now she was only a few feet away from the beast.

Then her communicator went off.

"No." she whispered. The beast was startled, and he lashed out. Raven was thrown, and as her own wall of black energy went down, she hit the ground hard, a huge gash in her left cheek. As soon as he realized what he had done, Beast Boy changed back to his normal form. He started to walk towards Raven, where Starfire was already sitting next to her as she called Robin and Cyborg for help.

She put her hand out, and spoke somberly. "No, friend Beast Boy."
