Hey...

"Show me your true power." she commanded the younger woman.

Falcon knew she was trying to provoke her. She knew her former master wished for her to fight with her all so that the demon's own tenacity wouldn't waver. Really, it wouldn't have come to this point if Starfire hadn't been mutilated by her. The hybrid knew she didn't have a choice. She had to fight her or her sister would end the older woman's life.

"It doesn't have to be this way." the mixed breed angel knew her former ally was trying to provoke her. "Give up now, please. I want you to live." she declared. She knew what the older woman's fate would be if her sister got her hands on her.

Tyrana responded by firing a beam at her. Falcon quickly avoided it. The demon watched as her foe stepped closer. She smiled as her former protégé approached. Indeed, her former protégé was strong. She knew this for she had traded many blows with the teen and now, there had been a surge in the younger woman's powers. Things were surely going to be even more interesting.

Falcon ran towards her and swung her fist, hitting the older woman's cheek. The demon retaliated by kicking the teen's stomach, making her fly back. She fired more beams at the young teen as she flew towards her target. She punched her former apprentice's face who retaliated by sending a fist to her face. The two continued to brawl with Falcon matching Tyrana's strength, blow by blow. The battle was fierce indeed.

Each punch the demon threw was returned with just as much intensity as her own, maybe even more. The fiend swung her fist toward the teen. Falcon ducked and quickly socked Tyrana's stomach. The demon groaned out before she reacted. The two kept punching and kicking each other, trying to best one another.

The half demon was preoccupied. She wanted to get to her aunt, however, demons continued to appear seemingly out of nowhere. Demons came from left and right, trying desperately to hit and injure her.

The half demon was getting annoyed with the lot. Her anger was increasing each time she hit a demon, finally she decided she was tired of it. Raven extended her hands towards the demons. Her hands started to glow red. The red beam escaped the half demon's hands.

She spun around and her beam managed to hit every demon within 50 feet of her. The blast cleared her way. She could now see her sister, battling Tyrana. The sight of her aunt fueled her anger.

Raven saw the demon hit her sister. The blow sent her sibling back. She watched as Tyrana fired multiple blasts at Falcon. The half demon growled and she hurriedly flew towards her sister. The demon continued to fire blasts at her former student until she saw a red beam heading her way.

Tyrana fired a beam at the red light heading towards her. The two energy beams collided and a blast exploded. Falcon then flew towards her former master and hit her. She tackled her and shot two energy beams. She hit her target both times.

"Get up." ordered the half demon.

The air cleared and revealed the might Reaper, standing in front of the Rebel. Falcon stepped out of her sister's shadow and looked at her sister. Her sister's fury was evident. In fact, she was angrier than before. Tyrana got up from the ground.

"Raven please… don't." she grabbed her sister's wrist in attempt to stop her from attacking, not caring if her sister would fling her aside. She was desperate. "Don't kill her." she blocked her sister's path, standing between her blood and her heart. She wanted, no needed to stop them before any more blood could be shed.

"It was too easy, you know, piercing my arm through her." the demon remarked. "It's much harder poking my finger through a sheet of paper." she smirked as she turned her attention toward her niece's sister. "Let her pass Falcon, she has a score to settle with me after all." she commented to her former companion who looked at her with despair in her eyes. "It's for the best." she whispered the last part lowly so only she would hear before firing a blast toward her and sending the younger woman back, 100 feet away from her.

"No!" Falcon screamed out as she was launched.

Raven kept her eyes on Tyrana until eventually the demon saw her looking her way with so much anger in her eyes. Her aunt stepped back at the intensity of her niece's stare. It burned right through her. Prideful as she was, she did not want to concede defeat. The older woman blinked and her niece was no longer there.

"Looking for me?" her voice ice cold. Tyrana tried to elbow her but she easily caught it. "Tsk Tsk Tsk." she clicked her tongue as she gripped onto the elbow. She spun the demon around. "This is for my mothers." she stated as she punched her aunt, hitting her gut. The older woman groaned, blood spewing from her mouth. "This is for Falcon." the half demon said as she struck Tyrana's face. She slid back a hundred feet away from foe. Raven raised her hand and it started to glow dark red. She fired the red energy beam at her aunt who had no time to dodge the incoming attack. The blow was landed and her shoulder was dislocated. She looked up and saw her niece standing over her head. "This is for Starfire." the half demon stated. Her eyes started to glow red before she kicked the demon, making her fly up in the air.

She followed after her prey, continuing to fire beams before punching her. She elbowed Tyrana's back, making her drop down. She saw the demon struggling to get up from the ground. She looked to her left and saw her sister who was rushing toward them.

Tyrana stood up from the ground and faced Raven. She got into her fighting stance and ran towards her opponent before she swung and tried to kick her niece who dodged the attacks easily. The Reaper caught Tyrana's foot and twisted it, making the older woman's whole body turn over. She kicked her aunt.

Falcon looked at her sister who was beating on her former ally. She blasted an energy beam at the demons approaching her, knocking them out. She hurried over to her.

Raven ran towards opponent, her right fist headed for Tyrana's face. She landed another blow with her left fist that connected with her foe's cheek. She then spun around, her foot colliding with the older woman's arm. The demon's bone cracked as she dislocated her shoulder. The Reaper punched Tyrana's stomach.

She slid back on the floor, watching Raven's hand as she struggled to gain balance. She could feel the energy her niece was emitting. Failing to rise, she opted to sit as a black raven shaped beam headed for her.

"No!" Falcon yelled. She was too late.

Tyrana's roar echoed throughout the battlefield. It was pure torture. The demon could feel her skin burning. The pain was unbearable. She looked toward her former pupil.

"Do it… Falcon." her eyes conveyed death and peace. It was then that Falcon knew she wanted to be defeated. She wanted to die because this was the only way she would be able to attain peace. Even if her heart freed her from her ambitions it never would have been able to handle the fact she abandoned her father. She was the only one he counted on now that her brother was gone.

"Tyrana," Falcon's hand started to glow red. She released their beams. The red falcon light swirled around the black raven. It finally reached her mark as tears flowed from the teen's eyes.
