Teen Titans-Titans No More
-Volume 2-
Chapter 10
What Raven Learned
Much later in Tunisia Beastboy sat alone, bored and lonely in his room at the hotel. It was a good thing that the tour group was leaving early in the morning because he couldn't afford to keep wasting more time in this place. He needed to get a move on. He needed to get a long way and fast.
He wanted to be back to his friends and fellow titans doing good, protecting his city, locking up criminals and saving lives. He needed to get back to…he couldn't say what else or more like who else he needed to get back to so much because he couldn't see how it would matter to her either way and he…he just wanted so much to be with her… in the same vicinity as her so-so he could…could he? 'Could I tell her?' Beastboy wondered. 'What would she say?' He questioned himself. "
"She'd probably just freak out, probably be better for me not to tell her" Gar rationalized answering his own question aloud to himself.
(A/N: Hours later after Raven had come down from her room to report to Robin and Starfire what had happened.)
"Robin, I hate to say this but I wasn't able to learn much. Malchoir's mind's barriers and defenses were far too strong for me to gain access let alone any information, and though I was able to get through a little of Maalik's the information was so vague it was hardly worth while." Raven reported to their leader.
"What did you learn, Raven?" questioned Robin.
"Like I said, not much. Something about a ingredients for a spell." Raven answered him.
"What kind of spell?" Their leader inquired intuitively.
"I'm not sure. Like I said it was all very vague. Malchoir caught me so he probably warned Maalik that we might try and intercept whatever they were doing or trying to do as the case may be by me entering their minds to try and read their thoughts so he was most likely already well on guard and it was just by sheer luck that I was able to get through enough to get what little information that I managed to catch." Raven answered frustrated by the circumstances.
"Well don't worry, Raven, you still haven't tried any spells of your own yet." Robin pointed out confidently.
"Yes, Friend Raven. Robin is correct you did say that you might be able to use one of your own spells to learn the Dragon's whereabouts and what it is they may be planning." Starfire agreed brightly.
"Yes, I did say that, but that was before…I mean it could still work but chances are Malchoir has already put up defensive magic's that will undoubtedly cloak or mask there location from us." Raven informed her other two team members dejectedly.
"We still should at least try it." Robin interjected while Starfire nodded vehemently.
"Alright," Raven agreed. "I'll be right back. I'll need your help going through my books." She explained before phasing herself from the living room to her bedroom where she used her powers to collect and levitate short stack, after short stack of mystical volumes and text downstairs, before phasing back though the ceiling to the living area with a tall stack of her own in hand.
"We'll start with these. If what we need isn't here, I'll go up for more." Raven informed her friends as she sat the books she was carrying down and made herself comfortable Indian style on the floor.
"You mean you have more?" said Robin astounded as he looked at the three maybe for stacks of various heights that were now taking up various spaces in the Titans living area.
"Lots more." Stated Raven simply without lifting her head from the massive text she had already begun to look through.
"But then, Where do you keep them all?" asked Robin curiously still in awe.
"That is for me to know, and you to find out. Now if you don't mind I'm trying to read and you two should be doing the same. I really need your help." Raven reminded them and with that Titans began their search for a spell that might very well be of no use to them whatsoever.
(A/N: Meanwhile with Malchoir & Maalik…)
"It was just as you warned me, Brother. Raven did try and infiltrate my mind." Maalik informed his older brother.
"And were you successful in blocking her?" Malchoir solicited.
"Yes, yes I was Brother." Maalik boasted proudly.
"Good. Now I trust that everything is ready so that we can finally see and locate the earth witch so that we might use her to help you capture Raven. Who we will then force to free me from these accursed pages" Malchoir stated sinisterly to his co-conspirator.
"Yes, everything is ready. And you're sure you know enough about the other witch, this earth witch as you call her, from the pages of Raven's journal to work this magic? I mean you're sure you don't need to know what she looks like before hand, Brother?" Maalik asked.
"My dear, dear Brother, of course I'm sure, do I need to remind you again that it is I that has read and studied the Galleon Scrolls, the Mortal Achieves, and the Stones De' Suer' and not you? " he snorted. "You could not even manage to steal away one little witch from a mortal boy and an alien girl all on your own and now you have the nerve to question my judgment." stated Malchoir angrily.
Maalik bent his head low in shame. "I-I am sorry, my Brother. Please forgive me. You are right."
"You're damn right, I am you fool. Now repeat after me." Malchoir ordered.
"El tuga'deah' djrerection Marnoitea en shouit locat' evel tre set" said Malchoir.
"El tuga'deah' djrerection Marnoitea en shouit locat' evel tre set" Maalik repeated.
"Set nu-ga duevetre tuga ne deah bluank jue neugh rex" Malchoir recited the rest and again Maalik repeated the spells end.
"Set nu-ga duevetre tuga ne deah bluank jue neugh rex"
(A/N: Scene Change Titans Tower living room/ back with Rob, Star, & Rae…)
"I found it!" cried Raven suddenly.
"You did! Why Friend Raven that is most wonderful!" Starfire jumped joyously over to her friend so that she could see what Raven had found.
"Starfire, I wouldn't get your hopes up," Robin began. "Raven are you sure?" he inquired just to be sure.
"Yes, Robin I'm positive this is the one. Lets just hope it works." Said Raven as she read what she would need. "I'll need a few things from my room. Just a moment." Raven informed them before phasing back upstairs to her room for the third time that day.
When she came back just a few seconds later she found Robin and Star to be looking over the spell themselves, she almost half smiled to herself as she saw how close they were standing. Star's hand was linked in his as the two read the book they were standing over and Raven almost hated to interrupt them…almost.
"Ughem" she cleared. "I've brought the materials. Now, Star could you hand me the book?" she said.
Star smiled and handed the book over to Raven and then resumed her position next to Robin.
Raven began setting up a few things and she was soon done. She looked up at Robin and Star as if to say 'it's now or never' before closing her eyes and reciting the words written on the page.
"Onlougha delfeltra knuill de vertre sinco leigh ticisia dumarci'kula zintra rexus ultraz set'too!" Raven finished as she opened her eyes to find that the spell had worked. She was now seeing through the dragon's eyes.
Maalik's to be more precise. She had figured that Malchoir may have blocked a simpler spell, and that he would have surely caught on quickly even to a more complex spell like the one she had chosen, but Maalik on the other hand may have been prepared for something simple but not this…this she had hoped might take them by surprise. And it had!
Maalik didn't even know she was seeing through his eyes with him or at least not yet, but Raven's joy was as short lived as it often was as she saw a whirling vortex that revealed a stone sign with the name of a well known all girls catholic school etched on it and the image of an all to familiar blonde girl.
