Chapter 7

Hina was silent for the next week and a half. Raven tried to talk with him but he would not listen to her about why love is a good thing. He either spent his time in his room studying, or he was out on the shore training himself.

One day Raven watch him on the shore taking stances and punching in the air. She shook her head and Robin came up to the side of her. "Raven you shouldn't blame him, he is a man saw something he really cared for die. Any one would give up on love after that". He told her. "I don't blame him Robin, I now what he went though. Its just for three years with out having love is what scares me. He is holding that all inside him. He made it slip out a little bit when he hugged me but that was about it. Robin we have to break him out of this state. Its best for him".

Robin shook his head. "I don't have any idea how to break some out of something like that. Love is something one must see Raven, not for another to show to that person. He needs to see the joy in love". Raven looked up at Robin and smiled. "Maybe already has". And she left him to go down to Hina.

She opened the doors and walked out on to the shore. "Hi, Hina, how's the traning going". Hina didn't say anything for a moment then" Its going fine, how every body else". He asked, wondering where this was going. "There fine, I just wanted to see how you were going is all". She went over and sat on a rock and watch him train. Hina didn't look into her watching him.

After about ten or so minutes there sounded an alarm in the tower. Raven stood at once. "Some thing has happened in the city, I have to go". Hina watch her run off into the tower and saw the Titans leave. "There fast when it comes to am emergency". Hina stood there for a moment and then sighed. "I best go help them". And he walked over to a rock, pick up his robe and put it on. He then jumped up and flew over the sea, seeing where the titans had gone.

He landed in the streets and started looking for them. Street after street he looked and looked. When he start to give up there was a big exposition and beast boy came flying out of no where. Hina caught his leg and stopped him from hitting the ground. I wasn't expecting something this big". He told beast boy as he set him down. "This is something big, Slade is back and he brought three of his friends". Beast boy told him. Hina looked over to see Slade come out of the smoke followed by a rock monster, some kind of eclectic monster, and a slimy monster. "What kind of friend's dose he have". Hina said with a degusted tone.

"Nice to see you again Hina, how long has it been, a few weeks or so". Hina didn't move or anything, just stared at him. "I thought you would be sleeping with the fishes Slade, but I guess you're not a guy that is looking to die". "I guess I am not, get him and bring him to me". The three monsters charged at once at this command. Hina didn't move, he just stared at him.

"Your friends are not the brightest star in the sky are they?" And with a stomp from him foot at the last moment and stone wall shot up as all of them hit it. "Really how dull are they". The stone wall fell back into the ground as all three monsters fell, out cold. "Come on Slade, is this really all you have".

Suddenly Slade was thrown up in the air. Some one had thrown a wipe and got hold of Slade's foot. Hina eye's widened for a moment as a man, in a red robe came out of no where. "Boy I love to play around with humans, its so much fun". He laugh as he threw Slade up and down like a doll. All of the Titans came out of the building and were watching the man make Slade dance around in the air. "You there, stop this---"Robin yelled out, but before he could finish his sentence there was a flash of sliver and the wipe snapped. Slade hit the ground with a thud. The man looked at his wipe and then froze. Hina had hit sword inches from his throat. Raven froze with terror as she look at his eyes. That was not the same Hina she new only moments before. His eyes gave of a pure hatred toward the man.

They all froze there for a moment and then Hina finally spoke. "Where's Trigon". "Hina come on now, after three years this is how you greet me". The man suddenly bust into flames and the flames moved up on top of a building. Hina stared at him as he lowered his sword. "FAIA, where is Trigon". Hina snarled. "Still trap in the underworld, because of your friend here". Faia said looking at Raven.

Faia grinned as he looked at Hina. "You have grow well Hina, last time I saw you, your were at a young age". Hina then shot up at him. Faia drew his sword and there blades clashed. Hina and Faia looked at each other as the sparks flew from there swords. Hina then jumped back on to the ground. "

"Hina who is this guy" Raven said as she and the rest of the Titans came to his side. "Another one of Trigons lackeys. He was in the last war of Azerath, the first of the Demons to come out. I battled him only for a few minutes; he was the one guarding Trigon". Hina seemed a little worried with they way he spoke. "Hina what's wrong". Raven sensing his worry. "Faia is--- is a special demon to Trigon. He is kind of the messenger of Trigon". "What do you mean Hina". "When he is seen on a planet it means---- Trigon is coming. It was the reason why he was created by Trigon". Faia grinned happily. "He is coming, but Hina he needs you to open the door, that why he sent me here really". Hina stared at him and in a dead like voice. "He can rot in hell for all I care; I will never let him out". Faia looked as thou he did not just hear him .

"He has been watching you Hina, all over the universe looking for him. Revenge for the people he killed, wanting to get the curse off of you. Hina he knows everything. He is even watching us now". Hina held up his sword. "Leave now, or I will rip you to shreds". Faia looked at him with a smile. "What's wrong Hina, getting angry at me". He taunted. "Trigon is all little disappointed with you Hina. After all these years of watching you, very rarely you have used any of the powers he has given you, only the elements around you". Hina was silent, he just stared at him. The man then started to walk on the beamer he was on. "I mean, Hina you have the power to end this world but you choices not to. I don't now what Trigon sees in you, but I not him so I guess your something useful".

"Faia…leave". Hina said with other dead tone. "Sorry Hina but I can't do that, I need to unlock Trigon from his prison and you're the key to unlock the door. So if you want to do this the hard way –". Just at that moment Hina charged and there swords hit with a shower of sparks. "Very well the hard way". Faia now sneered. The jump back and shot at each other once more. There swords met again and the each swung there mighty blades at the other. "Hina stop" Raven yelled out. "You have to stop this". Hina didn't hear her, his mind was so forces on slicing Faia in half that the voices around him started to fad away. Unlike Faia, who smiled when she started her pleading to make him stop. "another one of your pets Hina. How nice you found something that keeps you happy". He mocked. He then was kick in the face, Hina jumped back to make the final blow but Raven held him back.

"She is asking for him to stop so we can stop you". Robin said as he landed on the ground. Faia wiped his cheek and looked at him. "You have some spunk kid but you're going to need more then that". And he jump into the air, sword held high. He then slammed down as Robin moved just it time. The earth broke as his sword met concert. There was a bang as Hina saw something he didn't see before. They were on a cliff that at the bottom was the mighty sea. "Another blow like that and he will kill us all". He thought. " Raven let go, I have to stop him". She let go of him but then look up at him. There was a moment of silence and then Hina turned and left.

"Faia was on the building now as the 4 other titans tried to get to him. "FRIA" he said casting a spell, and there was a light as fire bided all four of them.

"Pathetic, I can't believe you beat the great Trigon". Faia snarled. "Well I guess I will take care of you my self, for Trigon's sake". He held up his sword to slay Robin, but as he did Hina came out of now where and stopped him just in time. " This is just between you and me Faia, no one else". Faia smiled and jumped back. "So you do care about them don't you?". Hina didn't say anything only looked at him with anger in his eyes.

They both shot at each other as there swords met with a load "CLING". Again and again the each swung there swords as they always met with blinding sparks. Raven came up and saw the action going on. She could take it, Hina was in to much danger. "STOP" she yelled with tears in her eyes. Hina and Faia both looked up. "Hina please, stop". Faia once more grinned, and with a flick of his wipe he caught her on the leg.

Hina tried to stop him put Faia kick him the chest. Hina hit the ground and stared up at Raven in horror. "Hina, it seems you like this little rat, daughter of the great Trigon. Well we will have to deal with that now won't we". And with a snap of his wipe there was an electric fire that bust through her. She screamed in pain as her robe and clothes began to tear from the fire. "Stop, Faia, stop this" Hina yelled. Faia gave the wipe another flick and it stopped. Raven hung limply, she was out cold. "Hina, its time you learn your place, trash like this isn't meant to live". And then to Hina's horror, he threw her up and over the cliff. She fell through the air and down into the great sea below. But before Faia or any one else could do anything, Hina ran and jump off the cliff and dived down the 50 foot cliff right after Raven. "RAAAAVEEEEEEENNN"
