Khimera Awaken
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Teen Titans
Summary: What if instead of recruiting Slade, Trigon tried to posses Beastboy and found that the "Dumb Shape-shifter" is more then anyone could have guessed. Takes place about a month before Raven's Birthday.
A.N. PLEASE READ. All those willing, or just want to try something new, please check my profile for challenges.
Beast Boy Rox 4-Eva- In all honesty, I tried to make him seem like Slade to an extent but its not him. No Garfield isn't the pre-Sakutia personality, good guess though. Gray Beastboy is revealing himself this chapter. The 'right to rule' might be explained(I'll probably forget to come back and change this if I don't) as well. Trigon, well, that depends on what you mean by defeated(all out killed, removed from the mind, permanently banished, etc.).
slicerness-Thanks but I kinda want them to look a like(same clothes with slight differences), I'll remember that advise for future use.
Novus Ordo Seclorum- Thank you for the support, and quite frankly I got stuff planned that will make people think I'm a genius...or crazy. I'll take either haha.
warprince2000- Have patience and you will bear wittiness to some of the first Beast/Harem stories and a darker look upon Beastboy.

The Gray Beastboy led them to a clearing with a nearby cave. Now in a clearing, they could see the sky. The sky was gray, the same shade as Gray Beastboy. The clouds were black strangely enough. The sun though caught their attention the most, it was a brilliant green. They also noticed that there was wisps of red going through the sky. Raven and her emotions knew what it was but it confused them. They knew it was Trigon trying to gain control of Beastboy's, or Garfield's as it might be, mind but,...
'He doesn't even have the slightest influence(1).' Was the thought going through all the Ravens' heads.
Gray sat down on a log in the clearing "Well, I suppose you all have some question, so ask away." He said in a semi-bored way, motioning the to sit down.
"Well, for starters can you explain whats going on?" Raven asked.
Gray sighed before speaking "As you know, Trigon tried to gain control of this mind recently. What he didn't expect was that 'Beastboy' wasn't...the true self here if you will(2). You see back when Garfield first got his powers, he began to mature mentally very quickly. That's when he entered his own mind and found us. At first we were like Rage here, trying to gain control of the body for ourselves but he defeat us every time. After he managed to beat all of us at the same time, we viewed him as the one with 'The Right to Rule' and submitted. He succeeded at what many fail to do in life times in a few months(3). He decided to hide his unusual maturity for a some time and decided to temporarily put the one being here, who he believed could do it best, in charge. That being being Innocence."
"But then why is Beast-"Growl"Garfield still acting immature and who is this Traitor you speak of?" Wisdom asked, already having a few ideas along with Knowledge.
Gray sighed and looked like he was reliving a painful and angry memory, "Garfield underestimated the over all effect of the Shape-shifting power. While there is a being(4), Instinct, who embodies all the animal Insticts, we all gained some of them. Innocence gained an unusual amount of survival instincts, namely self-preservation. He knew that if Garfield took the Throne back he would die off in a few years(5). He managed to gain control of a few of the more dangerous creatures here and tricked a few emotions into helping him overthrow Garfield. When the day came for Innocence to give the Thrown back, he ambushed him, used as much poison as could to make him sleep(6) and then put him in the deepest part of the soul he could get to. He then proceeded use the beasts of the mind, most of which are loyal only to the one on the Throne to reduce us to near powerless." Gray stopped with sad look on his face 'Khimera...I'm sorry.'
The Ravens all had sad looks, except Rage who had that look that someone had when they were angry that something tragic happened.
A moment later Gray started again "When Trigon tried gain control, he accidentally took Innocence, who chose the name Beastboy, off the Throne. Now someone has to control the Throne, Your father was being blocked at the time and none of us had the power or the awareness at the moment to claim, so it gave power to the only who had any real claim. It made Garfield 'king' again." He used fingers to quote king. "Now its only a matter of time before Garfield escapes his prison and truely reclaims the Throne."
All the Raven's had troubled looks, trying to digest this. The most unlikely of them spoke up first. "S-so everything we know about Ga-garfied is a lie?" Timid asked as tear began forming her eyes.
"No, while we had no real power, our being here made enough influence on judgement to make him seem like a VERY immature, and somewhat bratty, version of us(7)." Gray reassure her. It worked somewhat, Timid had a little hope in eyes.
"Soooo...what now?" Brave asked, not sure what they were suppose to do at this point.
"Well, Garfield is the only one now how can get you out, since he's blocking Trigon from getting any more influence which means he's also blocking anything from getting out. But, getting there is going to take a bit more than ten half demon empaths and one changeling. So, unless you have any ideas, I suggest going to some of my fellow emotions for help. Any objections?" Gray asked. Everyone shook their heads no.
As they followed him, Knowledge thought of something "Ummm, Gray? I would like to inquire about what emotion you embody(8)?"
He stopped and looked at her for a second, "Promise you won't laugh?" He got some confused looks but they nodded just the same. "I'm...Fear." This shocked everyone of them speechless. At their shocked looks he sighed "At least you didn't laugh."
Meanwhile
The dark figure watched the strange pool-like opening in the dark that showed the Ravens and the now named Fear, "Well that's interesting, I honestly wasn't expecting him to reveal so much. Who do you think he will go to first?" "Grrr grrrr?" "He's not crazy enough to go to those frozen waste lands by himself, half-demons or not. I think he'll go to our war-torn reptile." "Grrr?" "Go and make sure that our curious scientist gets what he needs, I'm sure he already knows about her being here." "Grrr,grrr?" "Make sure she's brought to the Throne when he's done." the growling seemed to vanish before it spoke one last time "Grrr grrr Grrrrrrr." "You don't kill a pawn because he followed someone else, you kill him if he's still following someone else." The figure chuckled at this.
End of Chapter
It's back. I decided it was time and try and do some more for this idea.
1. The more line, and the thicker they are, the stronger his influence.
2. Couldn't think of a better way to put it.
3. The 'what' being gaining control of his mind and emotions.
4. Instinct and Innocence aren't exactly emotions
5. Innocence eventually dies of for everyone.
6. Gaining control of the mind is easy enough, but kill a mental being, let alone the main one, is very hard to do.
7. 'Us' being the emotions, not Garfield. (the emotions all mushed together don't make the real thing)
8. Writing for Knowledge is hard. I can't think or find really big words to use.
Well, there you have it, several mysteries are solved only for more to appear. Here your questions: Who is the Dark figure and who is growling. Who and/or what is he talking about. What is Fear sorry for and who is Khimera? What is 'the Throne' exactly? Review and answer. Until next time, AkumaKami64 signing out!
