Hey everyone. I have returned with the long waited 23rd chapter of Team Sonic: Back in Jump City. This chapter, as you can tell by the title, Malchior makes his return to the story after being banished from the book. I mean no duh. He was banished there for a reason. Anyways. I know you're all eagered to see him and Sonic battle once again. Honestly, I am too. Which is why I am doing this. Though I do have to make a point here. I am glad that none of you guys are complaining about Sonic/Raven together and it's a good thing. Because like I said, my story, I'll do whatever I want and I'm glad to see nobody's complaining. Just read my story and enjoy it. That's all I'm asking for. If you don't, well too bad. Oh and also, I kinda forgot to mention this in my previous chapters. I do not own Sonic or Teen Titans. They are owned by Sega, DC Nation and Warner Bros respectively. Okay. Now with that out of the way, let's get started.

Sonic and Raven were in the infirmary, where Raven is healing due to the injuries she had battling Slade.

"Sonic?" Raven said.

"Yeah, Rae?" Sonic said.

"Thank you. For saving my life." Raven said. This left Sonic bewildered.

"Oh. You're welcome." Sonic said.

"How did you know I needed you?" Raven asked.

"Oh. Terra told me she saw you with Slade. She didn't mention you were battling him." Sonic replied. "And I couldn't tell the others so I went by myself. It's just something I needed to do."

"But they followed you anyway." Raven said jokingly.

"I know and they'll get payback." Sonic said jokingly.

"But that was really sweet of you to risk your life for me." Raven said.

"Aw shucks." Sonic said.

Sonic and Raven leaned in to kiss but were interrupted by dirty laundry hitting Sonic.

"Ah!" Sonic exclaimed.

"Woohoo! Stankball!" AD exclaimed, wearing a long sleeve black and grey T symbol shirt.

Sonic got up shaking himself.

"What hit me?" Sonic asked.

"Beast Boy's dirty laundry." Raven replied.

"Ah! Nasty!" Sonic said, sticking his tongue out in disgust.

AD laughed at Sonic. Raven rolled her eyes.

"AD. You are just as immature as Beast Boy." Raven said.

"It's my job." AD responded.

Raven grabbed the stankball and threw it at AD in response.

"Ah!" AD said.

Beast Boy and Cyborg ran to see the stankball got AD.

"And Dashie is out." Beast Boy said. He turned to see Sonic and Raven.

"How's the happy couple?" Beast Boy asked the two.

"Yeah. How's the happy couple?" Cyborg also asked.

"As happy as ever we can be." Sonic replied as he gave Raven a kiss.

"What he said." Raven said.

"We knew you two liked each other." Cyborg said teasingly.

"Everyone on the team knew. No need to rub it in, Cy." Sonic said.

Cyborg and Beast Boy smiled sheepishly.

Then, suddenly, the tower began to shake.

"What was that?" Beast Boy asked.

Knuckles ran by.

"You guys better come over here." Knuckles said to the team.

"We're on our way, Knux." Sonic said.

Cyborg, Beast Boy, Raven and Sonic followed Knuckles.

"So what's up, dude?" Beast Boy asked.

"And why is Tails in my room?" Raven asked.

"We'll explain later." Knuckles replied.

Tails came out of the room, holding one of Raven's spell books.

"Something's missing." Tails told the team.

"What's missing, dude?" Beast Boy asked.

"I don't know but I have a feeling it's that dragon again." Tails said.

"Malchior?!" Knuckles said.

"Probably. What other dragon is there?" Shadow said.

Then, suddenly, fire blasted through the tower.

"Whoa!" Knuckles said as he dodged the attack.

Malchior popped his head in.

"If it isn't sweet Raven and her pathetic friends!" Malchior said.

"You again!" Sonic exclaimed.

"You better leave our sweet Raven alone or you'll be sorry, fire breath!" Knuckles said.

"Oh. Am I?" Malchior taunted.

"Don't bother, Knux. I'll take him." Sonic said.

"Are you sure, Sonic?" Tails asked.

"More sure than anything, buddy." Sonic replied.

"Okay, Sonic but you're gonna need these." Shadow said as he tossed the chaos emeralds to Sonic.

"Thanks, Shad." Sonic said to Shadow.

Shadow nodded in response.

"Good luck, blue dawg." Cyborg said.

"Thanks, Cy." Sonic said.

Sonic transformed into Super Sonic and flew up to meet Malchior.

"Now what, Malchior?" Sonic taunted.

"Ohh you blue rodent! I'll exterminate you!" Malchior said as he attacked Sonic.

Sonic dodged every attack and taunted Malchior with every taunt he can.

The team watched as Sonic and Malchior battled.

Robin, Starfire, Amy and AD ran in.

"What's the situation, guys?" Robin asked.

"Sonic is fighting Malchior." Shadow replied.

"Blue friend! Let us help!" Starfire said.

"Sure. But one of you has to stay with Raven to make sure he doesn't get her." Sonic said.

"I will." Tails said.

"Thanks, buddy." Sonic said as he gave Tails a wink and thumbs up.

"You're welcome." Tails responded.

The rest of the team went up to help Sonic.

"What do you want us to do, Sonic?" Robin asked.

"Help me battle him to weaken him obviously." Sonic replied.

"Got it, dude." Beast Boy said.

The team battled Malchior with all their mighty.

Tails and Raven watched as their teammates battled Malchior.

"Do those emeralds always effect Sonic?" Raven asked.

"Not just Sonic. Shadow too." Tails replied.

"Oh." Raven said.

"But at least they're battling with their mighty. Heh." Tails said.

Malchior was getting weaken.

"No. I refuse to give up. This isn't over." Malchior said.

"Think again!" Sonic said as he blasted Malchior.

"Aaaaaaaaah!" Malchior screamed.

"Do it, Sonic! Finish him off!" Starfire cheered.

On cue, Sonic finished Malchior off by blasting him.

"No! This can't happen! Noooooooooo!" Malchior said as he faded away.

Sonic flew down and changed back to normal.

"Way to go, Sonic!" Beast Boy said.

"Thanks, BB." Sonic said.

The team went down and met up with Tails and Raven.

"That was amazing, Sonic." Tails said.

"Thanks, buddy." Sonic said.

Raven ran over and hugged Sonic.

"Whoa. Careful, Rae. I'm still building my energy up." Sonic said.

"Let's celebrate!" Cyborg said in excitement.

"With pizza! My treat!" Beast Boy said.

"I can eat." Knuckles said.

The team, except Sonic and Raven, went off to the commonroom to order pizza.

"Told you I wasn't anything like him." Sonic said.

"I know. You proved it." Raven said. "But, I am sorry."

"For what?" Sonic asked.

"For that fight. For leaving you." Raven replied.

"Oh. It's okay. I'm sorry for the fight too." Sonic said. "Why don't we have some pizza?"

"Sure." Raven said.

Sonic and Raven caught up with the team to the commonroom.

And finished. Sorry if it's a little short. I got a little lazy with the developing. Heh. I have got to stop being so lazy. Anyway. Next chapter, it's gonna be based on one of my favorite Season 3 episodes, The Beast Within and it's gonna center on Beast Boy and AD again as Adonis returns for revenge against AD. I have a idea in mind for that chapter but you guys are gonna have to wait and see what it is. Hehe. Anyways. I gotta go. Please look forward to chapter 24 whenever I work on it, not sure when it will be out. Okay. I gotta go now. As always, till the next time we meet, take care everyone. See you on the flip side. Ciao! :)
