"You think maybe Raven could come down and give us a hand?", Beast boy leapt behind the couch as a rocket whizzed past his ear. "You know if she's not too busy!" He turned to Starfire and Cyborg who were also situated behind the sofa. Star jumped up and flung an energy ball at Jinx who dodged out of the way. "Perhaps she still requires some emotional repair." She yelped and dodged a blast of purple light. "Hey man, not the TV" Cyborg groaned and covered his eyes. Robin jumped up from his hiding place, "Titans Go!" he shouted, tossing an energy disk out into the open. The force of the blast sent Mammoth, who was running towards the team, flying backwards.
Meanwhile, the dark figure of Clarion slinked through the shadows. "Hmm, now where could it be?" He smiled maniacally as he looked around. Suddenly Gizmo came soaring through the air, and fell right in front of Clarion. "Hey, watch where your going, you almost scared Teiko!" He pet the evil looking tabby cat in his arms. "Dummies." He muttered.
"AARRGGH!" Robin landed a flying jump kick right on Mammoth who hit the floor. "Don't you know breaking and entering is against the law." Robin smiled staring down at his opponent. Mammoth scoffed, "Yea right." Before Robin could react Mammoth grabbed him by his foot and flung him head first into a wall. "Can the little birdie say night-night?" Mammoth laughed grabbing Robin by the throat and lifting him up. Robin looked over Mammoth's shoulder. "Night.night!" he smiled, flipping out of his oppressor's grasp and kicking him out of the way just in time for Mammoth to get the full taste of Cyborg's laser cannon. "Lights out." Cyborg chuckled as Robin shook his head. "Dude, enough with the bedtime puns."
"What does it mean if a black cat crosses your path?" Jinx hissed as Beast boy in tiger form attacked. "JINX!" She cried blasting Beast boy back into the floor. "OOO bad kitty!" She smiled. Suddenly a green barrage of light smashed Jinx into the couch the team was hiding behind before. "You are not very funny." Starfire called, firing another bolt. Jinx landed onto seal-Beast boy, who swatted her back and forth between his flippers, then flung her with his tail. Jinx landed face down on the pile of the already knocked out Gizmo and Mammoth.
"Good job team, you got them all." Robin said helping Star down from her aerial position. Suddenly a clapping sound came from the corner of the room. "Well done, truly spectacular!" Clarion cried, smiling broadly. "Who are you?" Robin asked, a puzzled look on his face. "Yea and what are you doing here?" Beast boy asked giving Clarion a mean look. "Nasty little teenagers." Clarion's grin fell. "You need some manners!" His eyes narrowed, then the grin reformed. " Teiko, get them!"
Suddenly the small tabby leapt from Clarions arm. In midair the animal transformed into a cat-like warrior. It landed softly on the ground and hissed at the team. "Fun!" Clarion cried. Teiko jumped into the air, gave one great kick, and knocked over all of the team members. "Have fun!" Clarion whispered, slinking away up the stairs as the team attacked the new opponent.

Upstairs in her room, Raven continued to fumble with her broken mirror. "Why can't I fix it?" she growled, trying very hard to keep her temper checked. She waved her hand over the mirror and repeated her magic words. This time the black lights didn't even appear. "This is not good."
Suddenly there came a blast, as her door flew open. "Knock knock!" Clarion cackled as he stepped over the ruins of the door. "What are you doing here?" Raven's eyes were glowing as she stood to face the intruder. "Just came to borrow something." Clarion looked past Raven at the broken mirror on the bed. Raven pushed it farther back from Clarion. "I suggest you stand aside" Clarions eyes were now glowing red.
"Azarath..Metrion..Zinthos!" Raven shouted, firing black lights at Clarion. Red lights surrounded him, creating a shield, just in time to deflect Raven's attack. "Clardum Baratue!" Clarion cried as a giant red ball of light appeared in his hands. Before Raven could respond the energy ball erupted, catapulting her first into the ceiling, then smash into the floor.
Clarion let out a large cackle. He waltzed to the bed, stepping over Raven's unconscious body. "Lets do that again some time." He giggled, picking up the broken mirror. "I see you've done half the job for me" he mused, looking at himself in the broken reflection, and then fixing the spikes in his hair.
Downstairs, Teiko tossed Robin's body into a pile along with the rest of the Titans. "Arrange them in a circle." Clarion commanded, Teiko doing just as his master instructed. "We can begin the ritual, as soon as you speed it up." He marveled, picking up the mirror and moving into the center of the circle. "Little black bird had no idea just how powerful this mirror really was."
Clarion clapped his hands together, his eyes shinning bright red. "Blordio..Neatus..Yazthos!" he cried, holding the mirror up over his head. The mirror began to levitate, spinning in a circle of red and black lights. Each of the Titans bodies began to glow and eerie red. As the reflective surface of the mirror turned towards each Titan, the red lining of the member would be absorbed into the glass. When each member no longer glowed red, the mirror settled back into Clarion's hands. "And now it's time for the real fun to start." He cackled softly.
