Chapter eleven
So sorry this took FOREVER to update. I really am! I've been really busy. With school and stuff. Um… this chapter is going to be way shorter than it usually is due to a tight schedule. But fear not fellow titans geeks, the next and most likely final chapter will in fact be longer!
My answer to poll: you know him; you love him, Beast Boy of course.
Disclaimer: I'd be lying if I said I owned Teen Titans, do you want a young girl to be lying at such a young age? Think about the children!
Raven couldn't believe her luck. She pondered on whether or not to tell the rest of the titans (and Roxy) that she found him, risking being overheard. Or go in and stop Galtry herself. Considering he was a normal guy without any real powers, she would go in and stop him himself. She just needed to wait for the right moment to strike. She would Bring Beast Boy home, and they can forget everything that happen.
She pressed her ear to the door, listening to the conversation going on in the room in front of her.
"I sense danger, my dear nephew. And although I want to make your death as slow and painful as can be, I will have to do it now if I want my revenge." Raven could hear struggling, followed by footsteps coming her way. She quickly hid in the shadows as the door swung open, revealing a man in a trench coat.
He began slowly walking towards Raven's direction. Raven held in her breath as he walked by her and stopped. "Who's there? Show yourself you coward!" he screeched. He looked around some more in that area before turning a corner. Raven let out a breath and walked out of her powers. Making sure he wasn't being followed, she walked into the open room.
"Beast boy!" she said, as she ran to the body on the slab. She began to unlock the shackles with her powers. Saying things like it was going to be ok, and the titans were he. Beast Boy sat up and massaged his sore wrists.
"I'm fine Rae, I really-"Beast Boy was suddenly pulled into a hug by Raven. At first he was in shock, for Raven has only given him a hug once, but soon returned the favor.
"You don't look fine." She said, breaking contact and examining his wounds.
"I've had worst. Where's Galtry?"
"I sent him on a wild goose chase. I'll tell the titans I found you." Raven pulled out her communicator. Just as she was about to call Robin, the communicator flew across the room and landed on the wall with a knife sticking out of it. The two turned to the doorway to see none other than Nicholas Galtry standing at the door way.
"I thought I smelt demons blood." He said with a cocky grin. "You must be Raven; Garfield has told me so much about you." Raven glared at him. "I suppose….your here to take him back." He let out a dark laugh. "Not going to happen."
"Give it up Galtry, we won, you lost. Surrender peacefully and no one gets hurt."
"I think it's too late to say that my dear." He said, eyeing Beast boy.
"Careful Raven." Beast Boy whispered in her ear.
"Don't worry." Galtry began to walk towards them.
"Raven, you could leave now. Forget about this green menace. You wouldn't care; he's not even a friend to you." Galtry dodged a dark beam of energy and looked up to see two bright white eyes.
"Don't even dare speak about Beast Boy like that." She said in a low threatening voice. Galtry chuckled.
"So be it." He then lunged at the two, both of them dodged.
"Azerath, Metrion, Zinthos!" Raven enveloped Galtry with her powers.
"I must admit, you are strong," Galtry began to struggle within the energy before it popped entirely, sending Raven hurdling backwards. "But I'm stronger." Raven stared at him in shock. He was just an average mortal. How did he escape her magic?
"How-"
"I am much more than your average human, my dear." Galtry pulled out a knife and plunged it into her shoulder. Raven let out a petrified scream. Galtry was about to send another into her, when he was knocked. He struggled for a bit before bringing a powerful kick o the tigers chest, sending it crashing toward a counter. The tiger formed back to a green boy who was clutching his throbbing chest.
"I guess I should've given you another dose of that power draining chemicals', eh? But you're in no condition to be fighting your old man, nephew."
"It's over Galtry, you're going to prison, and I'm going to go home." Beast Boy said, standing up and grabbing the counter for support.
Who's going to stop me?"
"That would be me." Galtry turned around and came face to face with his apprentice. "Hello, master." She kicked him in the gut, sending him wheeling over. She then kicked him again, sending him straight to the floor. Galtry stood up and glared at her.
"I let you into my home, gave you food and shelter. And this is how you pay me back for all I have done for you." He shouted enraged.
"I realized something these past few days," Roxy said, getting on one knee. "What you taught me, what you said was life, that just isn't me. Garfield has showed me that. He has people who care for him, something you never showed me. Their risking their lives for him, something you would never do for me." Galtry brought his hands around her neck and started to squeeze as hard as he could.
"You have disappointed me for the last time." He said standing up and slamming her into the wall. He pulled out a dagger and aimed it at her heart. "I've always pictured you as my daughter."
"Leave her alone!" Nicholas was tackled to the ground by an unknown force. Roxy was coughing and wheezing and trying to regain her breath. Raven and Beast Boy were both battling Galtry. Galtry although, seemed to be winning.
Quickly, she stood up and joined the battle.

Robin ran through the hallways as fast as he could. He got a message from Roxy that they found Beast Boy. But they needed backwards. He pulled out his communicator and called Cyborg and Starfire.
"What's up?" Cyborg asked.
"We found Beast Boy. Follow the coordinates I gave you and meet us there. Robin out." Robin shut his communicator and continues with his journey.

"I've had enough!" Galtry yelled. Roxy, Beast Boy, and Raven all stood in front of him in a battle position.
"Getting tired are we?" Raven asked. Instead of answering, Galtry pulled out a gun and aimed it at his nephew.
"I plan to finish what I started." He pulled the trigger. Without thinking, Roxy pushed Beast Boy into Raven, taking the blow. She fell to a heap in the ground.
"Roxy!" Beast Boy ran up to her, Raven not far behind, and picked up her limp figure. Roxy gave a weak smile.
"I told you I would regret what I was doing."
"Just hang on." He said. They heard a click from the back of the room. Beast Boy and Raven turned their heads and saw Galtry reload his gun. Raven stood up and stepped in front of Beast Boy.
"Move out of the way, witch, or you'll be the next one I shoot down." Raven stood her guard. "Suit yourself." Just as he started pulling the trigger, Raven put up a black barrier covering the three of them.
"Raven, stop, your too tired." Beast Boy yelled.
"I can handle it, until Robin and the others come, you are my responsibility and I'm going to keep you safe." Suddenly a sword came crashing down on the shield, messing up Raven's concentration. The shield came down. Galtry stood smiling like a fool.
He raised his sword and brought it into her abdomen. Taking it out he watched in amusement as she to fell to the ground.
"No!" Beast Boy yelled.
"Oh give it a rest, I've won, you've lost. It's over. Goodbye, for the last time." Beast Boy fell to the ground clutching the large cut on his side. Galtry took out his dagger and put it in his arm, twisting it to add extra pain. He took out his, pistol and shot it at his chest once, thrice, three times.
By this point, Beast Boy's eyes were halfway open and he was barely breathing. Galtry sent a powerful kick to his stomach, making him cough up blood. He did this repeatedly, stomping on his head. He smiled as his nephew didn't move or stir. He picked up his gun and aimed it at his skull.
"No!" Raven stood behind Galtry and sent multiple beams of energy at his skull, knocking him out cold. A small trail of blood began to leak out of it. Raven ran over to the barely breathing Garfield.
"No, no, no. you can't die on me Garfield." She said as her hands glowed a light blue. It quickly faded. "W-what? My powers!" Raven was near tears. He was dying in her arms. She held onto him tightly. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry I didn't tell you how much I loved you earlier. This is all my fault."
"Raven! Roxy!" she heard someone yell out.
"I'm in here!" she called out. She hoped whoever was calling her name was coming fast, she could feel her wounds taking its toll as she slowly started to black out. She placed Beast Boy on the ground and place a hand on her hand. She was getting dizzy. She fell to the floor, facing the doorway. Just before she fell unconscious, she saw red, yellow, and green make its way to her.
Whoo! Yes! I am done! A sappy ending. And sorry if this seemed a bit rushed. I'm lucky to have this updated, so I don't know when I'll update again. Well, good bye for now! And please review!
