Chapter 12

Just when things couldn't get any worse

"Where do you think your going?" snarled a voice that made Robin freeze in terror.

"No way" gasped Robin as he and Raven turned round and stared at the creature Robin had just killed.

"You didn't think it was over did you?" hissed Envoy as he stood back and glared directly at Robin with murderous hate in his eyes.

"But I……" Robin said silently as he stared at Envoy, the bones is his neck where protruding through his skin.

"I believe the term is, 'just when couldn't get any worse' boy" snickered Envoy as he snapped his neck back into place and roared with demonic fury.

"Ready for round two" Envoy hissed as he patted the dust of his body.

"Ready whenever you are" replied Robin as he let go of Raven's hand and rushed towards Envoy bo staff drawn, "LETS FINISH THIS!"

"Envoy destroy the boy and bring me the girl and Raziel" came the voice of the elder god inside Envoys head.

"Very well my master" hissed Envoy as he roared at Robin charged directly at him.

"But Robin killed him" gasped Raven as she watched Robin run towards Envoy, both of them roaring their fury at each other. She then turned and looked at Raziel who had a look of terror on his face.

"A soul as strong as Envoy's can't be killed that easily" Raziel said as he rammed his fist into the wall, putting a hole in it, "Robin doesn't stand a chance"

"ROBIN NOOOOO…" screamed Raven but it was no good Robin couldn't hear her over his own screams and Envoys roar.

"Raven whatever happens just run down this tunnel it will take you to back to the material realm" said Envoy as he turned Raven to face him.

"No I won't him I have to help" Raven cried as tears flowed down her face.

"You have to go, don't worry I'll get Robin home" smiled Raziel as he pushed Raven towards the exit.

"What are going to do?" Raven asked as she turned and saw Raziel crack his 'knuckles' and neck.

"I'm going to help a friend now go" Raziel replied as he ran towards Envoy and Robin.

"Please bring him back to me" Raven whispered as she took one last look at Robin and ran down the tunnel like Raziel had told her do.

Kain if your listening grant me the strength to help Robin, thought Raziel as he leapt at Envoy and dug his claws into the demons back.

"Wait your turn" snarled Envoy as he pulled Raziel off his back and threw him across the room slamming him into the wall.

"Hey ugly" shouted Robin as he kicked Envoy in the face when he was distracted by Raziel.

"Very dishonourable, attacking an unready opponent" hissed Envoy as he kicked Robin in the chest sending him flying across the room, but Envoy grabbed his legs and slammed him into the ground knocking the wind out of Robin.

"Now where did Raziel go?" hissed Envoy as he looked about for Raziel.

"I'm right here" yelled Raziel as he grabbed hold of Envoys arm and threw him to the floor, I didn't think demons believed in honour" he said as he kicked Envoy in the Face sending the demon skidding across the floor.

"Robin are you ok?" asked Raziel as he helped Robin to stand back up.

"I've been better" smiled Robin as he looked at Raziel, "Where's Raven?" he asked as he looked around the room for her.

"She's fine I told her to go the portal leading home" smiled Raziel and calmed Robin down, "Can you stand on your own?"

"Yeah" replied Robin as he held his ribs and spat out some blood.

"You should really worry about yourself" snarled Envoy as he dropped in between them and kicked Robin across the room and attacked Raziel with a series of punches.

"Robin get out of here" screamed Raziel as he was caught by a devastating haymaker that knocked him to the floor.

"Oh no you don't" hissed Envoy as he leapt at Robin like a wild animal. Robin managed to counter at the last minute and used Envoys momentum to send him crashing into the wall.

"I'm not leaving until this guy is a smear on the bottom of my boot" hissed Robin as he flipped up and grabbed his bo staff.

"They're big words for such a small boy, care to back them up" growled Envoy as he stood up and launched another attack at Robin. Just as Envoy's attack was about to hit Robin he was stopped in mid air by a black force and sent crashing into the floor and covered with debris.

"Leave him alone" said Raven as she appeared beside Raziel and helped him back to his feet.

"I told you to get out" Raziel said as he stood back up thanks to Raven.

"I couldn't leave my friends behind" Raven replied and smiled at him and then ran over to Robin.

"I thought Raziel told you to get out of here" said Robin as he looked over at Raven.

"Couldn't let you have all the fun" Raven smiled as her eyes glowed white.

"Well well look who came back" laughed Envoy as he threw the debris off his body and stood back up.

"Give up Envoy you can't win" said Robin as he stood back in fighting stance.

"I don't know the meaning of quit" Envoy spat back as he charged towards Robin and Raven. Raziel managed to stop the furious demons charge by landing on top of him sending him crashing into the ground.

"Now Raven" Raziel yelled as he jumped away from Envoy.

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos" chanted Raven as she lifted Envoy up into the air and dropped him from a great height. Robin quickly saw his opportunity and caught Envoy with a flying kick breaking the demons arm.

"You'll pay for that" roared Envoy as he landed on the ground and snapped his arm bones back into place. He then threw himself at Robin and managed to break the teens bo staff , he then grabbed him and threw him at Raven sending both the titans into a wall.

"Your turn Raziel" hissed Envoy as he leapt at Raziel and attacked him with a furious barrage of punches. Raziel couldn't react in time and was taken apart by Envoy, who eventually grabbed him and slammed him into the floor with sadistic glee. Envoy was then knocked flying again by Raven who channelled her powers into a blast of black energy.

"Why won't you just stay down" snarled Envoy as he sent a beam of his own red energy at the brave teen. Raven couldn't get her defences up in time and closed her eyes and braced for the beam to hit her. But when she opened her eyes she looked in horror at the scene in front of her, Robin had jumped in front of the beam and absorbed all the damage protecting Raven.

"ROBIN!!" gasped Raven as Robin's body collapsed in front of her, smoke rising off his lifeless body.

"Looks like bird boys gone bye bye too bad" sneered Envoy as a sinister smile went across his face.

"You'll pay" screamed Raziel as he leapt at Envoy , but Envoy caught him and rammed his knee into his stomach knocking the breath out of Raziel's body.

"Robin please wake up" Raven cried softly as tears flowed from her eyes and landed on Robin's face.

"Hey stop crying" Robin said very weakly as he opened his eyes slightly.

"Or you'll do what" smiled Raven as threw her arms around his neck and cried tears of joy.

"This" Robin replied as he brought Raven closer to him and kissed her passionately.

"Robin I thought I lost you" Raven said softly as she broke the kiss and looked into his eyes.

"Can't get rid of me that easily" Robin smiled as he struggled back to his feet.

"You have to rest" said Raven as she tried to hold him down but Robin didn't listen and got back to his feet.

"Yo Envoy I'm still standing" screamed Robin as he ran over to help Raziel.

"Well what da know bird boy has more lives than a cat" hissed Envoy as he threw Raziel down and tried to kick Robin, but Robin blocked the kick and caught Envoy with a round house to the face.

"I'm gonna make you pay for trying to hurt Raven" Robin spat at Envoy as he rammed his knee into the demons stomach. However this time Envoy stopped the attack and sent Robin flying with a powerful telekinetic wave.

"Azarath Metrion…arghh" chanted Raven before she was knocked flying against the wall with another red energy blast.

"Now time to finish this" hissed Envoy as he murmured a few magic words and summoned a curved sword to his hand.

"Remember this Raziel" snarled Envoy as he showed the blade to Raziel, who stared at it in terror.

"It can't be…………the Soul Reaver" gasped Raziel as Envoy kicked him in the face knocking him unconscious.

"A curvy blade won't stop me" screamed Robin as he leapt at Envoy kicking the demon in the face.

"Wanna bet" snarled Envoy as he flipped up and appeared behind Robin.

"What the……ughhhh" gasped Robin as Envoy rammed the blade through Robins back. Robin didn't even know what happened, he thought Envoy had just punched him in the spine, that was until he looked down and saw the tip of the sword sticking through is chest.

"Time to die little birdie" hissed Envoy as he pulled the blade free of Robin and watched him fall to the floor in a pool of blood.

Robin gasped for breath but couldn't catch a single breath, he tried to move but his strength abandoned him, he tried to scream for help but all he could muster was a wet cough, he looked up in terror as Envoy held the blade over his chest and said something but he couldn't hear what it was.

"Try and stay dead this time" Envoy sneered as he left the Soul Reaver stabbed into Robins chest piercing his heart.

Suddenly there was no more pain only peace, no more sound only silence and no more light only darkness. With his last ounce of strength he managed to turn and look over at Raven, Robin saw her scream, he saw her fall to the floor in tears, he felt his own tears flow down his face then it all went dark. Death had finally caught Robin.

"Looks like your next" Envoy hissed as he turned away from Robin and looked over at the distraught Raven, "Try not to die too quick" he laughed as he cracked his fists together and walked over to Raven.
