Chapter Thirteen
"How many more of these things are there," asked Cyborg.
While Lecter and Raven dealt with their archenemies, the others were fighting the remaining demon vampires.
"I count more than twenty," answered Starfire.
"Just keep fighting team," ordered Robin, "Make sure every last bloodsucker is dead!"
"Where is Lecter in anyway," Beastboy wondered.
Just then Lecter ran past him and killed several more vampires with his sword. Hexxus was right behind his tail.
"Well, that answers my question."
The duel between Hexxus and Lecter continued with each matching strike for strike.
"Once you're out of the way, I'll hunt the rest of your wretched kind like the animals you are," Hexxus hissed.
Lecter swung the blade towards the vampire's head but it scraped the mask off his face.
The disfigured face of Hexxus stared back at Lecter before letting out a screech and charging with his sword.
Skelter swung his fire sword, trying to strike Raven. She blocked it and flew down to the streets.
The demon tossed a fireball in his sibling's direction, striking her in the back, and setting the cloak in flames.
Once she landed Raven discarded the burned cloak as Skelter touchdown a few feet from her.
He cornered her up against the side of a wall. Raven felt a tingle come across her leg. Skelter coiled his tail around it and, with his strength, pulled her to his feet.
"Farewell Raven," he said as he slowly raised the sword up.
"Azarath…Metrion…Zinthos!!"
Raven hit a blast of dark energy in Skelter's four eyes temporally blinding him and causing him to drop the sword.
Raven picked it up and slid the blade across Skelter's throat.
She quickly spun around to his back and plunged the sword straight into his body. Skelter saw the fire blade protruding out of his chest holding his detached black heart. Raven watched as the demon's body began to combust.
"Farewell Skelter!"
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!"
In a fiery blast, Skelter was obliterated and no more.
Hexxus witnesses his master's demise. Lecter saw that Raven was in the vampire's sight.
Before he could react, Hexxus sprung toward her with his sword ready to strike.
"RAVEN, LOOK OUT!!"
She turned to see the deformed vampire coming but had no time to defend herself.
Just before Hexxus could kill her, he felt a sharp pain his chest.
Hexxus collapsed at Raven's feet with a stake. Lecter saw that Beastboy had thrown the stake at Hexxus, saving Raven.
"Thank you Beastboy," Lecter said as he headed over to the fallen vampire.
The lycan drew the sword as Hexxus got on his knees and with one swing Lecter decapitated Hexxus' head.
The head and body crumpled into dust.
The titans all breathed relief with the deaths of Skelter and Hexxus.
Raven hugged Lecter, "Let's go home."
