"I must warn you that the next personality trait you'll meet is always
depressed and very timid, so try to be nice to her," Happy Raven chuckled
as she continued to lead them to the floating platforms.
"How many personality traits do we have to meet?" Robin asked as he grew impatient by the minute. "Only two," Happy Raven replied. "Good," he said. Robin only had one thing on his mind: Starfire. He was worried about her safety, but most of all, if he would ever see her again. Raven was also worried. She was worrying about Beast Boy but held it inside.
"We're here," Happy Raven said as they halted in front of the platforms. Happy Raven disappeared into thin air as another trait appeared. The trait wore a gray cloak and looked as if she had been timid and sad all of her life. Timid Raven had appeared. She motioned them to follow her as she hopped from platform to platform.
Raven flew over the platforms as Robin jumped from one platform to another. "Easy," he said as he landed on the 4th platform.
"Easy, but painful. You must be extremely careful because there are spikes at the bottom of this cliff and if you fall, the spikes will kill you in a second," warned Timid Raven.
"I'll keep that in mind," he said. A deep crack formed as he stepped on the 6th platform. There was a loud crack and the platform, along with Robin, fell towards the thorn sharp spikes. "Azarath, Mentrion, Zinthos," Raven shouted and Robin's body was levitated. She placed him on the other side of the bridge of floating platforms as she and Timid Raven got there.
"Didn't I tell you to be careful?" Timid Raven said as Robin was sweeping dust off of him. "Yeah, but I think I've had enough warnings for today!" he snapped at her. Timid Raven shrunk to the size of a doll. Tears were streaming down her cheeks.
"Robin we're supposed to be nice to her, remember?" Raven asked. "Oh yeah, right," he replied. He turned to Timid Raven. "I'm sorry. It's just that I'm worried about Starfire," he said as she grew back to her normal size. They started to walk towards the graveyard. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Meanwhile Starfire and Beast Boy were tied onto cold, metal chairs. "Do you think our friends are searching for us?" Starfire asked as she tried to squirm out of the rope that tied her to the chair.
"I don't know Star," Beast Boy replied, "I'm sure they are."
"I hope so," she sighed as tears crept down her cheeks. The door creaked open. Seth walked into the room with two weapons: a gun and a hypno screen.
"So," he chuckled as he walked towards them, "Are you two ready for the operation?" He pointed the gun at Starfire and the hypno screen at Beast Boy. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Timid Raven disappeared as Raven and Robin walked into the cemetery. The grass was wet and leaves rustled. The wind surrounding them howled like a coyote.
"I wonder how we can get to the castle? There must be a secret passageway that leads to the castle," Robin said as they checked each row of tombstones. A sound similar to the crack of a whip rang throughout the cold, night air. They turned around to see where the sound came from.
There, standing right in front of them was the skeleton of Trigon. He had leapt out of his grave. The moment the two looked at him, his blank eyes had turned as yellow as the sun. He waved his hand and there were more whip like sounds. 99 more skeletons lunged out of their graves.
"Kill them," the skeleton of Trigon said as he pointed his bony index finger at them. The skeletons obeyed his command and ambushed them.
"Azarath, Mentrion, Zinthos," Raven shouted as 20 tombstones were levitated. She threw the tombstones at 20 bloodthirsty skeletons that ambushed her. Their bones scattered onto the ground, but 10 seconds later, the bones had rebuilt the skeletons.
"This is impossible," Raven thought, "Unless I destroy my father's skeleton." She immediately flew into the air. She searched for her father, but he was nowhere to be seen. She checked the entrance of the cemetery. There he was, standing outside of the cemetery. She chased after him. He heard her chasing him and turned around. "You'll never catch me," he laughed as she drew closer and closer to him.
"Oh yeah," she said as she levitated a nearby oak tree. Trigon quickly drew out his sword and swung it at the tree. He split the tree in half. He kept swinging the axe until the tree was chopped into bits. "Looks like this will be the end of you," he snarled as he was about to throw the axe at her. As he lifted his axe, a 2000-pound boulder smashed him into bits. After this, all of the skeletons burst into bits of bones. "Raven, I've found a secret passage!" Robin shouted as Raven landed right beside him. She levitated the top of a coffin. A loud thump echoed in the wind as she placed the cover on the ground. Inside the coffin was a staircase that led underground and to an unknown area. They went down the steps. They had entered the darkest hour of their entire lives.
"How many personality traits do we have to meet?" Robin asked as he grew impatient by the minute. "Only two," Happy Raven replied. "Good," he said. Robin only had one thing on his mind: Starfire.
