Chapter Ten
Skelter, Hexxus, and his forty remaining disciples all met in the dark alleys.
"I had him right in my grasp," Skelter screamed, "I couldn't wait for him to tear her throat out! But the others had to intervene! Now both of them are gone from me!"
"Don't be hard on yourself, my lord. If anyone is to blame it is me for not taking care of the other titans from interfering in our plans."
"I appreciate your loyalty Hexxus but I don't see you to blame but your disciples. You see, I have looked into their souls and, unlike you, they are beginning to lose faith."
"What?? How dare they lose their faith??"
"Take it easy Hexxus. I shall take care of them."
Fire-like energy formed in the demon's hand. Forty beams emerged from the energy and each connected with a vampire.
"What are you doing?"
"I told you I would take care of it Hexxus and I am. Soon they will no longer question their faith. Soon they will not question any of your orders, I'll make sure of that!"
The beams caused Hexxus' disciples to undergo a strange transformation.
Their physical appearance changed from a human form to demons just like Skelter.
"It is done Hexxus. Not only are they imbued with new powers, they will follow your orders without question."
"Thank you my lord. Thank you."
"The time has come to eliminate the six individuals that stand in the way of our destiny: the Teen Titans, specifically Raven! Take her out and the others will follow! Gather your new disciples Hexxus because this will be the genesis of the Apocalypse!!"
"…. Uhhhh…. where am I? My head…such pain."
"Rest Lecter. You need your strength."
"Raven? How long have I been out?"
"We got you back to the tower about an hour ago. The others have been trying to locate Hexxus and Skelter but nothing has come up."
"It's gone Raven, it's finally gone. I no longer feel the darkness of my past sins lingering in me. You did it Raven, you saved me."
"You saved yourself Lecter. Your redemption has cleaned you."
"Where does this leave us now?"
"We must find Skelter and send back to where he crawled out of or kill him and finally end this nightmare once and for all."
"Then there is Hexxus to deal with, he is possibly the last great vampire threat to me and my people."
"And will do this together."
"Hey Raven, Lecter. It's Beastboy. We have located Skelter and Hexxus. You better hurry up. It does not look good."
"Robin what's going on?"
"It looks like your vampire pal, Hexxus, and Skelter are causing destruction in the city."
The large screen showed the two villains at The Pizza Shack destroying anything around them.
"Attention Teen Titans, listen closely to my messages! This is it, the end of your pathetic world! Here is where Armageddon begins! Don't bother trying to stop us because your effort will be in vain! I, Skelter, was born the Seed of Destruction! Now it is time I live up to that title! Prepare to burn in Hell, the Apocalypse is NOW!!"
The screen switched to show the new vampire disciples running amok in the city.
"What are those things," asked Cyborg
"It looks like Skelter gave them new powers," said Raven.
Robin turned the screen off and gathered his weapons.
"Alright team. Let's get to work."
