When Slade comes back for bigger and better plans, who will suffer? Discover how Raven has dealt with the emotional turmoil within herself. Major BBxRae. Some RobStar? And CyBee? Might have to change rating to M? Going to try not to. Sorry that I suck at summarizing.

Chapter 9: Multiple Monsters (Part 2)

Slade's eye was now the one that grew wild. He held out a hand to control the monster, but the power he once had over the crippled boy seemed to be gone. The Beast advanced toward him quickly. Slade tried to run, but the animal like creature grabbed the top of his metaled head with one hand and proceeded to throw Slade's body in the air. After aiming, The Beast jumped up and kicked him in the chest, hurling him to the ground. At this point, the evil, ghostly metal like man had lost control of all the Titans. Once again, they were in a short daze—Raven more so than any of them due to the amount of emotion she seemed to be drowning in. All rushed toward Slade and The Beast, not knowing who to be more afraid of, and decided to watch the fight as there was nothing any of them could do.

They were both struggling now as The Beast was on top of Slade, pounding at his chest in rage. Eventually, The Beast stopped, looked toward the sky, and growled. Slade took this moment to reach for a broken pipe beside him. With it, he sliced the monster above him, right below The Beast's hairy ribs. The pipe was not cleanly broken, so the cut ripped apart his skin from the middle to the side of the monster. The Beast was now gone, and only an almost unconscious green boy with ripped clothes and blood all around him remained. Slade now stood up with the bloody, broken pipe with ripped green hairs on it, and raised it at the teenage boy. Raven felt Rage, Fear, and Bravery spring to the forefront of her emotions at once. Her eyes grew red and tentacles of black energy formed around her.

"NO!" Rage shouted from within her, her voice deep and angry. The magic she was using grew very large as she encased her friends. Such a disruption caused the warehouse to crumble. "Never again!" Rage shouted to Slade. His eye again grew wide, partly in fear and partly in awe. Still, his answer was in the same tone as it always was.

"But my dear, sweet, Raven, there will always be a next time." The building now caved and Raven and the Titans were now in a black abyss of nothingness.

Told you it was short! Sorry about that. Leave me a review! Feedback is great!
