Chapter 8

Welcome home Raziel

"ROBIN" screamed Starfire as she ran over to Robin's limp body.

"No Star" said Cyborg as he grabbed hold of Starfire and held her back.

"But Raziel has….." stammered Starfire as she looked up at Cyborg with tears in her eyes.

"Trust me Star it's the only way" smiled Cyborg as he tried to comfort Starfire, "Wipe away your tears I don't think Robin would like to see you cry", Starfire smiled back at him and wiped away her tears.

"But dude he just killed Robin" shouted Beast Boy as he looked at Cyborg with a confused look, "And I'm gonna make him pay".

"Beast Boy no just watch" yelled Cyborg as he grabbed Beast Boy and held him down.

Lets hope the old parasite doesn't get a snack attack, thought Raziel as he placed Robin's body on the floor in front of him and knelt down beside it.

"Are you ready Cyborg?" asked Raziel as he looked up at Cyborg who began changing his arm into his Sonic Cannon.

"Yeah man I'm ready you just tell when" replied Cyborg as he charged his weapon to full power.

"Raziel smiled and proceeded to remove the illusion that made him look like a human and looked back at Robin's lifeless body.

Here we go, thought Raziel as he removed the scarf that covered the lower part of his face. A bright light erupted from the area where Raziel's mouth should have been and struck Robin's body. Robin's body suddenly shuddered and then something suddenly flew out of it and floated around the room.

"Dude that totally looks like Robin" said Beast Boy as he marvelled at the soul that was floating about the room.

"That's because it's Robin's soul" replied Raziel as he put his scarf back on, covering the lower part of his face.

"Robin?" asked Starfire as she floated after the soul, "How can this be Robin if Robin is dead?" she asked with a curious look on her face.

"Like I said it is his soul" smiled Raziel as he stood back up and brushed the dust off himself. Suddenly the soul started to fade and eventually disappeared.

"Where has he gone?" asked Starfire who now had a very concerned look on her face.

She does ask a lot of question doesn't she thought Raziel, "He has gone to the spectral realm little one, don't worry he is quite safe" smiled Raziel as he looked over at Cyborg once again.

"Here we go" yelled Cyborg as he fired his Sonic Cannon directly at Raziel.

"Excellent Cyborg don't let up until my body is completely destroyed" shouted Raziel as the blast hit him directly in the chest.

"Don't worry I won't" said Cyborg as he gritted his teeth together.

"I feel it" whispered Raziel as his started to disappear in the blast.

"Bring them home" said Cyborg as he increased the amount of power being generated by his Sonic Cannon.

"I will" smiled Raziel as his body was completely destroyed and his soul was sent back to the spectral realm.

"Now what do we do?" asked Beast Boy as he walked to the spot where Raziel was standing.

"We pray" replied Cyborg as he picked up Robin's body and placed it beside Raven's on the couch, please come back to guys thought Cyborg as he turned to face Beast boy and Starfire, "Man I'm starved, Who wants some food?"

"Aww come on this can't be all you have" laughed Envoy as he picked up Raven and threw across the room into a wall.

"Why are you doing this?" groaned Raven as he held her ribs and tried to stand back up.

"Two very simple reasons my dear" hissed Envoy, "One my master ahs commanded me to find you and two I really enjoy making souls suffer".

"What are you?" asked Raven as she dodged one of his attacks but got hit with a devastating kick that knocked her through the wall.

"I'm your worst nightmare" chuckled Envoy as he walked towards the spot where Raven had landed.

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos" chanted Raven as she sent a blast of black energy at Envoy knocking him back across the room.

"I still see you have some fight left in you, good" smiled Envoy as he stood back up and patted the dust off his body.

"Only one way to find out ugly" replied Raven as she assumed a fighting stance Robin had taught her.

"Oh believe me I will" growled Envoy as he cracked his neck and knuckles, "I will" he growled as he charged directly towards Raven with rage in his eyes.

"Uggg I forgot how painful death could be" groaned Raziel as he held his head and tried to stand up.

"I see the old squid has done some redecorating since I've been away" smiled Raziel as he looked around him, "This place has changed".

"Need a hand?" came a familiar voice from behind Raziel.
"It would be nice" smiled Raziel as Robin helped him sand back up.

"So where are we Raziel?" asked Robin as he looked around him and whistled.

"My home" sighed Raziel as he turned to face Robin, "Hurry we don't have much time" he said as he disappeared into the shadows.

"I'm coming Raven just hold on" whispered Robin as he gripped his necklace tightly in his hand and quickly ran after Raziel, "Yo Raziel wait for me".
