Raven opened her eyes, hearing the Titan alarm break her meditation. Racing out of her room she gasped as a massive cloud of smoke blew right into her face. Quickly she formed a shield of dark energy, pushing the smoke away. "Robin! Beast Boy! Cyborg! Starfire! Where are you guys?" She yelled, making her way around. Quickly she made her way to the front of the living room, clearing as much smoke out as she could. Looking around she saw a large explosion come from bellow, fallowed by a very fast moving object. Looking down she saw Starfire and Beast Boy in the form of a Pterodactyl chasing after the object. "What's happening?" She asked looking around for the others.
"The tower is under attack, isn't it obvious?" Answered Cyborg running out from behind Raven, Robin not far behind.
"We don't know who they are, but they've already cause extensive damage to several floors!" Yelled Robin as he launched his grappling hook at the top of the tower. Now understanding Raven flew after the others to the top of the tower, where the figure kneeled, a large grin visible through the shadows. "Who are you? Why are you doing this?" Asked Robin, clearly aggravated. Raven couldn't put her finger on it, but something seemed familiar about the energy surrounding the figure.
With a slight chuckle the figure began to stand up, reviling his violet eyes and dark red hair.
"Hello Titans, I'll be sure to end it all the next time we meet." To Raven's surprise the boy formed two large discs of dark energy in his hands, the same as her's! With a simply twist of his wrists he released the discs strait down, the vanished into a stream of dark energy, zooming into the distance. As soon as he was gone the whole tower began to shake, falling apart into three sections and crumbling into the surrounding waters.
"Our home!" Cried Cyborg, falling to his knees as the last remnants of the tower vanished under the water. "This can't be happening…"
"Who was that guy?" Asked Beast Boy, looking at Raven as if she had an answer. "He had powers very similar to yours Raven." He pointed out, bringing all the attention onto her.
"I noticed that too, but it's impossible." She said looking away, both confused and worried. She knew it was impossible for it to be one of her people, there were none left. But then, what was he? "Whatever he is, he has no relation to me." The others let out a sigh of relief at this.
"Well whoever he his, we will stop him, like every other villain we've ever faced." Declared Robin, standing at the edge of the water. The others gathered around him in agreement.
The entire Hive Academy was filled with roars of joy as Akai walked through the doors, having completed his task, and left the Titans homeless. A crowd of students were gathered to meet him, raising him high into the air. Going by he noticed Jinx and lifted her up next to him. As they neared the stage Slade stepped forward and presented Akai his very own communicator.
"From here on you are one of the honored Hive students, and are now allowed to remove your apprentice mark!" With that Akai removed the disc shaped metal with Slade's sign on it, placing it along with a few others. Yet through all the excitement, no one noticed as the third seal began to break.
