This is my December
Dis: I REALLY HATE THE PERSON WHO MADE ME SAY THIS!!!!!!!!!!!! But, I don't own the Teen Titans, and I probably never will.... sniff, sniff
And, for those select few who DO read it, sorry for the long wait, inspiration just struck recently
Jump City Hospital...
Vampyre took a vial out of his cloak, and opened it. He walked over to Raven, and emptied its contents into her mouth. She moaned and opened her eyes, trying to turn to Vampyre, but she couldn't. So he walked around to the other side, worried. He wished he could be in her place. She had done nothing to deserve this; on the other hand, he had done much to deserve this.
"Vampyre... I'm not going... to... make it." Raven said, with great pain and effort.
"Over my dead body! You've done nothing to deserve this. I have, so if I die so that you may live, then I know my life is not wasted." He said, emotions surfacing.
"Please... no." Raven answered, and then lapsed back into sleep. He walked back over to the chair and continued to hold her hand. If only she could let me in, so I could help her out, he thought. He stayed with her all night, never letting go of her hand. He calmed her when she started with the nightmares, never giving up hope. He couldn't give up hope. She had to be all right, she just had to be. There was no more reason for Vampyre to live without her...
The next morning...
Vampyre had not allowed himself the leisure of sleep. And when the doctors came in, they saw her lifeline was still going. They all said it was a miracle, but it might have just been someone who cared about her. Someone who was willing to go to any lengths to save her life. Someone who just happened to be Vampyre. When, later that afternoon, she was strong enough to check out, they suspected something was up. But, when they got more than what they had charged, they didn't say anything.
Streets of Jump city...
"What happened? I really can't remember anything." Raven asked Vampyre, as they walked by countless stores, paperboys, and street vendors. They had no real aim, just to get Raven's strength back up.
"To make a long story short, an assassin was hired to kill you. I killed him, took you to the hospital, used a potion, and now we're here." He replied.
"So you-"Raven was cut off by people running past them. They were attracted to a certain spot, where the Titans were battling...something that was hidden in shadow.
"Let's go" Vampyre said, running to help the other Titans. When he and Rave ran up, they found the Titans in a frantic game of "dodge ball". Only difference being, there was fire, instead of a ball.
Raven and Vampyre instantly rushed in. A column of flame shot out at Vampyre, slamming him against the ground.
"There was a time, when I wouldn't dream of hitting you. And now, I'm disgusted." A voice came from all around at once, and yet from nowhere.
"And you still can't. That was a lucky shot. The only shot you'll ever get."
"I think it was more than a lucky shot. Besides, I don't see how you've become better. Too many attachments. You'll never be stronger than me."
"Oh, but I have become stronger, more powerful. So, why don't I just prove it now, Inferno?"
"Just see if you can actually hit me. Or catch me, it doesn't matter which, 'cause neither will work." Inferno taunted Vampyre. He shot a column of fire at Raven. If Vampyre ever had any difficulty controlling his powers, he had none now. The shadows leaped at his call, contained the fire, and extinguished it. He centered himself, and reached out, willing the shadows to point him to Inferno.
At the mere flick of his hand, Inferno couldn't move, and was brought before Vampyre, who smirked, with malice.
"Vampyre, I have been sent to tell you, Razenur is under attack, and my master, Deathrain, sent me to ask that you help."
"Tell me, why should I?"
"Because, if Razenur falls, it would set off a cataclysmic chain of events. It would even allow him to take over Azrath."
"And how do you know this?"
"The demon told us. Please, you must help. If you don't, it could mean enslavement of Razenur, Azrath, and many other worlds or dimensions."
"Very well. We will arrive in exactly one week."
"Thank you." And, with that, Inferno disappeared in a flash of smoke.
Titans Tower, later that night...
All of the Titans were sitting on the couch, relaxing. Robin, however, looked concerned.
"Vampyre, what was that all about?"
"Inferno. He was a year behind me in The Elite. Always thought he could beat me."
"No, who is 'the demon'?" Vampyre hesitated.
"My father, Nethronus."
"Okay..."
"He was imprisoned in Hell, for some reason. He wants revenge, so he intends to take over all of the universe, and make everyone's lives a living hell." Robin stared at Vampyre like he was insane. "Well, we've got a week to prepare, so let's make all due haste and so prepare." Vampyre finished, lamely.
One Week Later
Since Vampyre wasn't sure what had happened to Razenur in the following week, he opened a spy portal. To his surprise, Demons were patrolling, so they had to be careful about timing. Vampyre went first, and, after a painstaking ten minutes, signaled Robin through. Next came Cyborg, then Beast Boy, Starfire, and, finally, Raven. As the rest went ahead, at Vampyre's suggestion, he pulled Raven back. He looked into her piercing, purple eyes.
"Raven, this may be the last time I get to see you..."
"I know"
"...And I just wanted to say-"
"I already know, and you don't have to say it." She said, grabbing him, and kissing him, right there. All her life, she had wanted someone, someone who loved her for who she was, and didn't try to change her. He didn't fulfill all of the things she wanted him to, but he came close. She stayed, her lips against his, for as long as she could.
When, after what seemed like an eternity, they pulled apart, there was a new understanding in each. Raven didn't want to let go of Vampyre, but to just hold him there, for all time. He, on the other hand, felt the same way, but only after they did what they set out to do. He gave her one, last, quick kiss on her cheek, then ran off the opposite way she had to go. With a sigh, the beautiful empathy set off along the trail the other Titans had taken.
Jurad Trail, Razenur.
Vampyre had to be careful, as there were multiple demons patrolling Razenur. At first he easily outwitted the patrols, but they grew increasingly smarter. As he grew closer to the Abbadon, he had to fade into the shadows quite often. A few of the times, he was a little slow, and almost got caught. Despite these happenings, he finally reached the Abbadon.
Darkness Trail, Razenur
Darkness Trail was true to its namesake, as the Titans played Hell getting to the Abbadon. They traveled with Cyborg using his infrared eye to see ahead. On his right was Raven, and on his left was Robin. Beast Boy turned into a lemur, which had night vision, and was crawling along the wall. Star was last, giving off a small light with the withheld Starbolt. She was whimpering to herself, and trying to reassure herself everything was okay.
As they went farther down the Trail, and the darkness become more and more overwhelming, Starfire's whimpers grew louder until something had to be done, or they would be heard. Raven sighed, then walked back to Star. But, try as she might, she couldn't get Starfire to stop whimpering, but she did her to quiet them down. When they finally reached the Abbadon, they would have to wait.
The Abbadon, Vampyre's P.O.V. (A/n: Instead of referring to himself in "second person" I believe, Vampyre will refer to himself in "first Person". Meaning "I" will replace "He". Just to clarify that.)
I crept into the Abbadon, which was where demons were flowing from. Only one thought kept me form Transforming into a Shadow Creature and massacring them: Raven. All of my thoughts are of her, but I can't let that distract me now. I knew what to do, and so I looked for the highest Vantage point. It didn't take me long to find it. When I was safely hidden form the prying eyes of the demonic patrols, I looked for the other Titans. After a few minutes, I saw them enter.
I called to Raven, mentally, and showed her where I was. She looked up just in time to see me flash an emerald. She smiled briefly, then turned to inform the other Titans. The plan was simple; the other Titans would engage the Demons in battle, while Raven helped me to defeat Nethronus. I waited until none were looking at the area of which I would have to travel, then faded into the darkness, and rushed towards Raven. When I got to the others, I briefly showed myself, then grabbed Raven, and faded away. They reached the vantage point without difficulty. Until most of the remnant demons were sent to do something else, BB, Cy, Robin, and Star would have to wait, hidden.
After, what seemed like hours, the remnant demons dwindled down to a manageable level. I gave the signal, and the Titans surged forward form their hiding places, like a tidal wave. Beast Boy transformed into a T-Rex, and began wreaking havoc. Starfire flew up, raining Starbolts down on the hapless demons below. Robin leapt into the melee, annihilating demons with the same ferocity as he would Slade. Cyborg also jumped in, but he had his Sonic Cannon out, and was blasting demons left-and-right. Perhaps the only redeeming factor of these demons is their sheer numbers, I thought.
I jumped down, ignoring demons, and transformed into my ultimate form, the Hellbringer. Raven glided down and settled herself on my shoulder. I knew it wouldn't be like last time, where I had only been able to hold my form for about 5 minutes. I was well prepared, and could hold this form for as long as 3 hours. I hoped it wouldn't come to that though. As I walked towards Nethronus, I crushed demons with every step, enraging him even further.
As my father, he knew I couldn't hold that form without some kind of talisman, of someone's help. His burning eyes spotted Raven, sitting on my shoulder. Any hope he had of attacking her from behind, and breaking her link with me, was extinguished, as I folded my wings, so that she was protected from the right, left, and behind. She laid her head on one the spikes that protruded from my shoulder. The only way to get her off my shoulder was a head-on attack, and that was suicide, since my "weapons" were there. I had something special planned for Nehtronus.
