I am so glad I got this chapter done, and in a relativly timely manner too! :) Anyway this is the last chapter then it's the epilouge so I hope you all enjoy. :)
Robin's POV
The pain in my throat was unbearable and as the blood slipped down my neck I could feel unconsciousness creeping up.
"Stay awake Robin." the creature growled, "I have a little bedtime story I need to tell you before you drift off, OK." He gave a quick squeeze at my neck causing fresh waves of pain to roll over me.
"Wha...do you...want?" I managed before choking on my own blood
"Now, now Robin no need to get all worked up. I can hardly keep you conscious as it is. As for what I want, I want my life. The life that I was denied by my own people." His face came closer to me and his rank breath caused me to choke again. "Now how 'bout that story."
This was the end, it had to be. Raven was in a coma with no hope of waking up, BeastBoy was being possessed by our very attacker, and both Cyborg and Starfire were incapacitated. By the time any help realized we needed it, it would be too late.
"I suppose my dear baby sister has never talked about me so I have to introduce myself. I am Luka, son of Trigon and Arella, brother of Raven. From the moment I came into this world I was a mistake. Trigon's precious prophecy foretold of a female heir so as a son I was a minor inconvenience at best.
Still no matter how much he didn't want me I existed and therefore 'stole' power from his rightful heir. With the combined blood of both of my parents I was granted a power greater then even your precious Raven's.
Because of my immense power when my mother fled back to Azarath with me and Trigon's newborn heir, the monks were frightened more of me, then of their long dreaded portal. So frightened in fact, they for went their own rules and planned to kill me.
My mother, so distraught with the pain of finding the man she had left her home for was the most powerful demon of destruction in the universe, agreed. The great monks of Azarath were so weak and helpless with fear that they willing, knowingly planned the murder of a two year old child. Isn't that sad Robin? Are you listening to me?" I had closed my eyes at some point during his monologue trying to stay awake but now they flew open at another pain blooming in my side.
"I'm trying to tell you a story Robin. You should listen when your elders are talking to you.
Anyway, as I was saying, only one monk disagreed. He begged the others to spare my life but finally realizing that it was futile to argue with them he came up with a plan. He found a newborn child one that would give me the strength I needed to exact my revenge on my unloving family. I believe you now call my vessel BeastBoy. The only problem was that in order for me to go undetected I had to be sealed away in the darkest depths of his brain. When they killed my body I became a parasite living off of my host's body. Slowly over time I came out of my comatose state and began to exert more control over my host.
But you see the human mind is a tricky thing. It is strong and unyielding but with the right type of pressure it will break. I knew that this child I inhabit would break but how. Then you showed up, my knight in shining armor. When I first heard my hosts love sick thoughts of you I knew that you would be the one to help break the mind that now controls this body so I could then take it over.
Now, all I have to do now is kill you and my host will die along with you leaving this body begging for my control."
BeastBoy's POV
I stared out of my own eyes but it was a strange feeling. It was as if I was in someone else's body visiting my own. I had no more control over myself then I had control over the weather.
I could hear a voice speaking, droning on and on about something that barely seemed important. I wished the voice would just shut up so I could go to sleep because I was so very tired all of the sudden.
Robin. I heard that name and tried to clear the fog in my mind. The person talking was talking to Robin. "...now all I have to do is kill you and my host will die along with you..."
This thing talking was talking through me, using my body like a puppet. And it was going to use me to kill Robin.
I struggled at the invisible bonds barring me from retaking my body. The control was strong but I couldn't let this happen, no matter what I could not allow Robin to die because of me.
Robin's POV
"BeasBoy...if you're in...there...plea..."
"I'm sorry but BeastBoy isn't in here right now, he can't hear you."
"Shu...up" I gurgled my mouth filling with blood "BeasBoy...I don wanna die...I don...but I's ok...I can die...bu you can you hear me you don getta die...cause I lo yo..." I coughed feeling the darkness of death reaching for me.
"What I'm sorry I couldn't understand you."
"I said...BEASBOY I LOVE YOU." Then I let go and allowed myself to go limp in the embrace of my lover, my murder and waited that final embrace to come and carry me away into eternity.
BeastBoy's POV
I tore through the mental block just as Raven smashed me into the base of the tower, her power like a vice around my body. Robin's limp body fell from my grasp as my body shifted back and forth between my human form and this monstrous one. Luka was wrestling with me, fighting for control of my mind.
"Raven!" I clawed at my throat, ripped at the hair at my temples, anything to keep Luka from regaining control.
"Hold still," she hissed her eyes flashing red for a moment. Her fingers sunk into my temples as she tried to rip Luka from me.
"Get out of my head!" I screamed and with one last tug a light flared around us and exhausted I slumped under the weight of my newly reclaimed body.
