Getting together was the easy part... it's staying together that will
be a challenge. Especially with Slade up to
no good.
All You Needed
Chapter 13: The Fight Begins
A black raven emerged from the ground and formed into a young lady. Raven looked up as she landed on the ground, swiftly. Everything came down to this. Her visions, kidnapping, and the fate of Star and herself. Taking a few steps forward and keeping her gaze on the sky, she could make out a young lady that resembled herself in every way.
The other Raven, or rather the 'clone', kept herself levitated in the air. Black bolts of electricity began to emerge from her and travel across the ground towards the real Raven's feet.
Raven's eyes looked down at the spot where the bolts ended and disappeared at. Looking back up, she frowned. The clone looked back down at her with a smile on her lips. Letting a mask of stoic overcome her previous expression, Raven began to levitate herself into the air.
She traveled up high until she leveled with her exact copy. "So, we meet again," Raven ventured as she lifted her hands up out of her cape and clenched them into fits.
Her clone stayed silent for a moment. "Nice day to die, isn't?" she finally asked with a evil smile on her lips.
That smile reminded Raven of one of her emotions. Anger usually had that expression on her face. Shaking her head for a moment and letting her frown deepen, she opened her hands and let two black orbs form in each of her palms.
"Depends on whose dying!" Raven shouted as she moved back a little and brought the two orbs forward.
Her clone smiled as the two black orbs neared her. Moving aside, she let them pass by her and hit a warehouse nearby. The clone then moved toward Raven with a fist ready to strike her. The empath moved her hand up and formed a shield to stop the fist from hitting her. The clone cringed and moved her other fist forward. As a response, Raven formed another shield with her energy blocked this attack, as well.
Raven moved back into the air and moved her hands up into the air. "Azarath, Metrion," she began as black bolts of energy formed around her. "Zynthos!"
The clone moved aside and formed a huge shield, using her own energy to block Raven's attacks. "Two can play at this game," the clone muttered as she lifted her hands up and send waves of energy toward Raven.
The waves hit Raven hard, sending her to fall to the ground. Landing, she looked up to see the clone flying downwards towards her with a fist ready to attack. Without time to create another shield, she moved to the side and let the clone hit the ground instead of her.
Raven looked over at the hand that was now deep into the ground. Furrowing her eyebrows, she moved her leg towards her and pushed it outwards to hit the clone in the face.
~~
Beast boy flew across the sky still in his bird form. His little head looked outward to find the two Ravens on the ground. Deciding it would be safer to travel by ground, the little bird neared the ground. As it came closer to the dirt, it transformed back into his original state and landed on the ground softly.
Beast boy looked up. From a distance, he could see his Raven on the ground and the other a few feet away from her. Furrowing in his eyebrows, he gritted his teeth. "There has to be a way to deliver this message without getting in the way of this fight..."
Growling in frustration, he transformed into a mouse and disappeared behind the rocks.
~~
Raven stood up and moved her neck around. "I'm going to show you why they call me Trigon's daughter!" she shouted as she levitated a little into the air and moved her arms about in a circle.
The clone looked up in puzzlement as she watched Raven sound out bolts of black energy all around. Standing up, she smiled. "Let's see what you got..." she muttered.
Everything seemed to be glowing that black aura that Raven produced. Each glass all around began to explode while other things began to float around. Crates and boxes were lifted into the air and torn to shreds.
Suddenly, the black aura seemed to disappear from all objects and gather up in Raven's palms as she held them up high over her head. The objects that were held up into the air began to fall one by one, landing back onto the ground in dismay.
"Azarath, Metrion," Raven began as she prepared for her attack. "Zynthos!"
The clone's eyes widen as the energy in Raven's hands began to near the ground where she stood. "No!" she shouted in anger as she moved to the side.
Everything went black before the explosion occurred. The wind howled and tore through the air all around. As rocks and other objects followed soon after with a long screen of smoke.
~~
Cyborg and Robin turned their heads in the direction of the explosion. Wide eyed, they looked at each other before moving a long to their previous mission.
"She can't be too far from here," Robin replied as he slowly moved behind one box to another. "Can you check your scanners?"
Cyborg nodded and looked down at his arm. Studying it for a moment, he looked back up at Robin. "According to this, she's in the next warehouse..."
Robin nodded and moved toward another box with Cyborg following right behind. Just as they began to move once more, a figure jumped up and landed on top of Robin, slamming him hard onto the ground.
Robin yelled in pain and opened his eyes to find Slade. His hands were at his neck forcing the breath out of the boy wonder. Robin grabbed Slade's wrists and tried to pry them off without any effort to show for it.
The sound of something kicking to life sounded through the air. A few moments later a bright blue and white light emmerged, hitting Slade in the side and forcing him to the nearest wall. Robin coughed and gasped for air as he sat up and looked over at the attacker.
Cyborg stood on top of a nearby rock with his right arm in his gun position. "Thought you needed a hand," Cyborg replied as his arm changed from his gun to a hand.
Robin nodded and stood up. Reaching behind his belt, he took out his pole and extended it to its true length. Looking over, he saw Slade stand up with a cold expression in his eye. Reaching behind his back, he pulled out a pole much like Robin's and extended it to a longer length.
Robin could see Cyborg from the corner of his eyes. Tilting his head a little, he frowned. "Cy, go find Starfire," he ordered in a whisper. "I'll handle Slade..."
The half human studied Robin's cold expression for a moment, before looking over his shoulder. "Alright," he replied after a long moment. "Just be careful..."
The leader of the Titans nodded and turned back towards Slade. "Don't worry about me," he began. "Just take care of Starfire."
"Right," came a mutter as Cyborg turned around to leave his leader to deal with things on his own. Without looking back, Cyborg took slow and steady steps that turned into a run.
~~
Beast boy pushed the heavy rock off of him and looked around. In awe, he stood up and searched frantically for Raven. "Look at this place," he exclaimed in shock. "It looks like a nuclear explosion occurred here. I never knew Raven could do such a thing..."
Suddenly, he looked up. Something had caught his eye, but he could not totally make out what or who it was. Squinting a bit, he saw this person wore a blue cape. "Raven," he exclaimed in a voice that was nearly a whisper.
Raven tried to keep herself levitated into the air. Her eyes focused and then unfocused serveral times. She could feel herself losing energy. With one final sigh, she let go and fell to the ground.
A yard or two away, Beast boy could see Raven falling. Gasping, he moved foward and transformed into a cheetah. He ran as fast as he could, dodging large boulders and holes in the ground to get to her in time.
Just as he neared her, he jumped up and transformed back into his original human self. This came just in time to catch her and land, softly onto the ground. Beast boy held her for a long moment before looking down at her.
"Hey," he replied, softly as he moved strands of hair from her face. "That was a pretty sweet attack you had there. Where have you been hiding it all these years?"
She laughed. The laugh took so much out of her that she began to cough uncontrollably. "Don't make me laugh, BB," she began with a weak smile. "It hurts..."
"Sorry," he apologized as he continued to stare at her.
"I told you to stay away from here," Raven began as she sat up on her own and rubbed her head. "Why did you disobey me?"
"I had a message to send to you," Beast boy replied, as he looked on at the mess that Raven had made. "Doesn't seem to matter, now though. You beat her."
Raven studied Beast boy's expression for a moment. "Do you really think so?" she finally asked in a dry tone. "I didn't think that attack would work."
"That attack was awesome," Beast boy immediately exclaimed. "Look at this place! It's a mess."
She blushed and looked away. A small smile crept over her lips as she eyed Beast boy for a moment. "Thank you," she replied in a low voice.
Seeming to want to say something, he opened his mouth, but the words never came out. He felt as if he were turned to stone. Beast boy looked down to find his entire body covered in a black aura. Looking back up at Raven, a confused and shocked look filled his face.
"Raven, what are you doing?" Beast boy asked in horror. "Please stop, you are hurting me."
Feeling her strength being returned, Raven stood up and watched Beast boy being lifted up into the air. "It's not me," Raven coughed out as she turned her head to see another being in the distance. Her eyes widen in fear and shock. "No," she exclaimed in the same horror Beast boy expressed.
Her clone stood up with her hands in the air. A black aura around her palms that matched the blackness that covered Beast boy. "Say good bye to him," she muttered in a evil voice.
Raven looked up at Beast boy before giving another deadly look towards her clone. "You wouldn't dare!" she threatened as she held up her hands which glowed it's own black.
Her clone's smile widen. "Watch me," she replied as she moved her hands around and sent Beast boy flying towards the city.
"No!" Raven's voice echoed through the air followed by a loud explosion occuring in the far distance.
*** End of Chapter ***
~~~ After Notes ~~~
Pretty short, but very action packed, I would say. There's more action, yet to come. Hmm... a few more surprises maybe?
I heard about After Shock Part 2. Terra is dead. Well, turned to stone, but still technically gone for good. I'm sad for all Terra fans and Terra. She was such a disturbed child. Oh well.
Hope next season BB/R will become closer.
See ya next chapter.
