Sorry I've been gone for almost a week now. I had Jr. Beta inductions, and then I had my little sister's concert, and then my mom came back from the hospital she was sent to, and now Avatar starts in an hour or so.

Also, I have final exams to study for, so I'm not sure I can update anytime soon.

I WILL make you one promise, though. The last chapter will be on December 15, 2007, just like I had originally planned. Now, onto the dedications.

I dedicate this chapter to:

DiamondOasis, tennisgal456, Somewhere In Time, jcyz, SuPeR HyPeR chick 101, and ashelyxxmichelle.

If I missed anyone, then please tell me!

Two more things:

PLEASE go to this website:

Wow. This author's note is almost a whole page long...

'Does everyone know the plan?'

Mar'i's POV

Everyone was ready. Sarah and Clara would distract the King and Queen. Victor and Cyborg would take out the priest, andGar and I would blow the crowd away with our speech. Everything was going according to plan, and that was what scared me the most.

Nothing EVER went according to plan when I was around. I glanced around the front of the church nervously when gar came up to me.

"Don't worry; I want my son back as much as you do. We'll be able to stop this wedding from ever happening, at all costs," He put his hand on my shoulder and smiled. I put on a façade as I smiled weakly.

"I wasn't nervous, or anything, I was just...uh...contemplating whether or not we should eat pie to celebrate our victory!" If that wasn't the stupidest thing I've ever said...

He laughed. "You're worse than Raven was on her 16th birthday!"

I knew he didn't mean it as an insult, comparing the two of us, so I just sighed and looked at him. "I've never been able to do one thing that went according to plan. My birthday party sparked my parent's death, I thought I was going to have a girl to spend my entire Christmas Break with, and now that I have a sister, I...I'm beginning to question my parents-abandoning her on Tamaran," I confessed. It was weird. Before the last couple of days, I said two-maybe three-words to him a year. It was...strange.

"You-you mean you don't know?" He asked in amazement. I looked over at him curiously.

"Know what?" I questioned.

"Mar'i, do you remember going to Tamaran before a few weeks ago?" He asked me. I shook my head.

"No, not at all," I told him.

"Strange. You were there for nearly a year. When Emil'i was born, your parents felt it was only right to have her born on Tamaran, since you were not. The only reason they left her and not you was because we were suspecting that the Brotherhood of Evil was back up again. Your sister was not old enough to come. They were planning on returning, but..." He trailed off.

"But they did not have the chance to," I finished for him. He nodded.

"I thought that maybe it was Malah (Sp?)-Who might have been commanded by the brain-that killed them. I...I guess I was wrong," he said. I looked over at the sound of feet pounding against stone. Sarah and Clara were headed my way. Victor followed close behind.

"Mar'i..." Sarah panted, breathless, "Are you...ready...to stop this?" She asked between breathes. I paused a moment, then nodded.

"Good," Victor said, "Dad and I are going to catch the priest on his way here. The wedding is in an hour and people should be arriving soon. Sarah and Clara are going to be distracting the King/Queen. They should be here any moment now," He told me.

"Remember, we have to make sure no one knows about this. We don't want a repeat of Star's first wedding," Gar said, making a reference to them being locked up.

There was an awkward silence, as I remembered something, "Guys, wait!" I yelled after them, just as they were leaving, "Victor is best man! How will we pull this off without anyone noticing he's not there?" I asked, sighing in relief that the thing that didn't go according to plan was minor.

"Don't worry," Victor said, "We'll stop the wedding before that ever happens. Now, if ya'll want to stop this wedding today, we got to start moving!" No one moved. They all stared at me expectantly.

"What?" I asked them.

"Go on, girl, you've earned the right to say it," Cyborg told me, who seemingly appeared out of nowhere. I thought for a moment about what that meant. I smiled in realization.

I took a deep breath, then, "Titans, go!" I yelled, as everyone nodded and took off.

Sarah's POV

Clara and I stood, waiting for the King and Queen to arrive. We were both nervous, I more than she appeared to be, as we hid behind a few bushes outside of the castle. I saw a few guards walking towards us, and they stood in front of us, making me began to hyperventilate. Clara clamped her hand over my mouth as they began to talk.

"What are we going to do?" Guard 1 asked.

"I don't know, the Gordanians said that Tamaran's princess is here, but I have not seen her anywhere," Guard 2 replied. What did they mean by that?

"Well, if she is here, we'll just do as they said and capture her. All we have to do is give her to them and they'll leave Azarath alone," Guard 1 told him. Guard 2 nodded.

"Yes, but what if the Royal family sees that as unfitting? We could be charged for giving hostages to people, er, aliens," he said.

"We'll think of something. Besides, the Gordanians had an authorized document saying that she had been given to them. They showed it to me."

"Who authorized it?"

"The other one, what was her name? Emma? Ella? Emil'i? Yeah, that's right!" Clara and I looked at each other. This was NOT good.

Victor's POV

Dad and I waited for the priest. I felt almost sick, but dad seemed to be glowing with adrenaline and excitement. After a good twelve years of no missions, he was probably thrilled to hear the words 'Titans Go!' Honestly, though, so was I. It was an amazing feeling that I knew I had waited my entire life to feel. Suddenly, we saw the priest heading our way.

"Come on," my dad whispered, "We gotta be careful with this dude. We don't want him screaming or flailing or doing anything to draw attention to himself. We'll sneak up behind him and I'll knock him out with my sonic cannon."

I nodded, and waited in hiding. My dad moved slightly, anticipating the knock-out. When the priest had passed, us, he charged silently. It was then I realized his mistake. "Dad, wait! Azarathians can sense presences!" But it was too late, as the priest looked over at us, he looked...familiar. I remembered something about him.

His face? No. His smell? Uh-uh. Um...I know dad had mentioned this guy before, but who was it? I thought back as far as I could, and remembered his face from newspaper clipping.

Brother Blood.

Mar'i's POV

I was waiting for the signal on my communicator, the one that Sarah and Cyborg would send me, once they had fulfilled their duties. I stood by the side entrance to the church, when I began to hear something. Music? Was the ceremony starting? I peered inside as I saw what I had feared. Everyone was gathered around Jake and Kasha; happy smiling faces. That is, except for Jake. He looked miserable.

I saw the King and queen there, too! Was ANYTHING accomplished? Gar flew down in the form of a hummingbird to witness what I saw.

"Mar'i!" Sarah cried, running towards me. I turned around.

"What happened? Why didn't you distract the King and Queen? What's wrong with you? Can't you do anything?!" I yelled, slightly surprised at the harshness my voice held.

She was taken back, also. She composed herself, cleared her throat, and then became a nervous wreck. "Mar'i! We heard the guards! The Gordanians are after you! They said you were their prisoner and they had an authorized document!" I gave her a strange look.

"Authorized? Who would authorize it? Maybe someone is out to take over Tamaran. I'll contact Emil'i and-"

"No! She's the one who authorized it!" I stood, taken back by what she said.

"I can't believe you! I don't believe any of this! If you can't fulfill this one thing I asked you to do, than maybe you really AREN'T smart enough to be a dentist! You'll just be one of those old, washed-up people who are self-centered and can't do anything to help anyone else!" I was more shocked by what I had said than she herself was. I started to cry. "Please forgive me," I pleaded, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry! It's just that Jake, and Kasha, and nothing ever going right..."

"I forgive you," she said, "But we have bigger problems. And when I say bigger, I mean, big, ugly, lizard...y...and standing behind you!"

I gave her a questionable look, but slowly turned around to meet Lord Trogaar, face-to-face.

I reacted on an impulse.

Jake's POV

I looked around as the wedding started, but Mar'i was not there. I sighed, as I knew she wouldn't be. She was too good for me, and no matter how much I wished she was the one walking down the aisle instead of that ugly witch, I knew that it would never be possible-with or without Kasha.

As the ceremony painfully continued, and when I say painfully I mean PAINFULLY, I saw Kasha smirk. 'That little no-good bipolar witch,' I thought to myself, 'There is no way I can go through with marrying her!' (For those of you who don't know, bipolar means split-personalities)

I decided to look around the room, trying to see if I could find something better to rest my gaze on. I looked over at the priest. 'That dude is so ugly it's terrifying. If I don't tear my gaze away from him, I'll need therapy, if I ever survive this wedding!' I told myself. I looked away. Suddenly, I heard those frightful words:

'I do'

I cringed. I knew what was next.

"Jacob Mark Logan, do you take Kasha Anna Lynn to be your..." I tried to drown him out, but it wasn't working.

"I...I..." I looked around the room, and everyone was looking back. I gulped. 'Please, God, or scal, or xaaal, or, ugh! Whoever it is Mar'i prays to; PLEASE give me some sort of distraction!'

Suddenly, I heard an ear-piercing scream ring through the air. I knew it was Mar'i's, no wonder she was absent, she was in danger! I looked over at the priest and smiled.

"Not even if you paid me!" I yelled, before running to the source of the scream. (Wow...he sounds just like Richard...)

When I got there, I saw four things:

Cyborg was unconscious.

Sarah and Clara were wearing horrified looks on their faces.

An ugly green monster was holding something in his arms.

That something was a very restless Mar'i.

"Mar'i!" I screamed, rushing past all of the people.

"Help...me...!" She yelled in a strangled voice. I...I honestly don't know what came over me. Maybe it was the wedding stress, the monster, or the fact that my best friend was being captured, but I turned into something terrible.

Something so hideous that that creature dropped Mar'i and ran for his life. I felt rage surge through my body as I grew larger and larger, darkness spreading all around me. I looked around at all the frightened faces, my gaze resting on Mar'i's. Whatever I had morphed into, it was slowly losing its effect on me.

As everything became dark, I began to feel limp. When I began to fall, however, I heard Mar'i scream my name.

"Jake!"

xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX

No, I didn't kill Jake off, he only passed out. Suspect a catfight between Kasha and Mar'i in the next chapter, however.

Last but not least, in case you were wondering, he turned into the demon that Raven had turned into in 'Nevermore.'

Ta ta for now!
