O.K. This is the second chapter. This is a new one. I did not re-write it but I erased and added a couple of things. Also since I was caught up with this Chapter, I did not have time to write the third one. Sorry.

Disclaimer: I do not own the Teen Titans except for Denya and Yanen.

How The Titans Came To Be

On the planet of Azarath, a girl and her father argue.

" Why do you always make my decisions for me," Raven yelled at her giant father, " you are always bossing me around. Become a better fighter, do this do that and now you want me to MARRY someone from a different planet?"

" Raven," the giant voice answered her back, " you are my daughter. I know what is good for you."

" You know what father," Raven exclaimed with such emotion, " I am 13. I am old enough to take care of myself. If you force me to marry that boy, I will leave Azarath and live on a different planet."

Her farther laughed," you can not be serious. The only way you can live on another planet is if you can control your emotions. You can not. Look at yourself. You are furious. The only reason our people even have emotions is because of the shockra on the mountain of horror. You even can not use your powers since the place is so holly. Many have fallen trying to get even a piece."

" Believe me father," Raven said giving him a look with disgust, " I will succeed. Nothing will stop me from getting that piece of the shockra."

As she left the castle her father burst into laughter. She went for a relaxing walk wondering how she can get out of the mountain alive. She sat down on the ground next to a pond. She thought a lot about what her father said while she watched the fish swim through the sparkling water. Her friend was walking when she saw Raven.

" Hey Raven," she yelled, " how are you? I have not seen you for a long time."

" Hi Denya," Raven sighed, " I am fine. I missed you." They both hugged each other.

" Is something wrong," Denya asked.

" My father wants me to marry some one from the planet Nerkin. You remember how horrible my life was when we were very young. I told him that I would live on another planet," Raven told Denya as they both sat on the ground.

" Raven are you crazy," Denya yelled, " Number one, the boys from the planet Nerkin are so dreamy and Number two, you know the rumors that our powers go out of control on a different planet. The only way we can leave is."

" I know I know. To get a piece of the shockra," Raven interrupted Denya, " I know the journey is a though one but I will get a piece and I will not get married. Besides, I am too young to get married."

" If you are truly willing to get through the challenges on the mountain, then I have no choice but to go with you," Denya said getting up.

" No," Raven said getting up as well, " I will not allow you to. It is to dangerous."

" Raven," Denya said with comfort, " I am your friend. If anything were to happen to you, I would be heartbroken. You know I am constantly traveling. I have a bag full of items that can help us and I want to help. Please let me go with you. We will be able to look out for each other."

" What if you get hurt badly. I would never forgive myself," Raven looked down.

" Do not worry. I will be fine. Come on lets go," Denya said grabbing Ravens hand.

They went straight to the mountain.

" As soon as I get that piece, I will prove myself and leave this stupid planet," Raven thought.

As she traveled up the mountain with Denya, a lot of challenges were pretty easy. At least for a while. She ended up trying to fight one giant monster. This monster was very rare to find and one of the toughest she had ever fought. They both hid behind a rock.

" How can we defeat it," Denya asked.

" Here are a few daggers. I am sure if we hit him in the heart, we will beat him," Raven said handing her the daggers, " lets go."

They ran out and started to throw the daggers. Denya was about to hit it hen it smacked her in the face. She was on the ground when the monster jumped on her and beat her continuously until she stopped moving. Raven hit the monster off of Denya buying her some time.

" DENYA," Raven yelled running to her, " Denya, are you O.K. Please speak to me."

Denya struggled to say something, " B-b-b-bag, p-p-p-potion, can s-s-save m- m-me."

Raven looked through her bag and found the potion.

" Here," she said with tears, " drink this." It was too late. Denya was gone. Raven cried uncontrollably. She got up. Her eyes glowed with dark power. She al most got her powers to work until the monster through a dagger at her. It missed but it distracted her causing him to get a clean shot at her face, knocking her out.

She woke up in a cave, tied up to a rock.

" Sleep well," a shadowy figure of a person, asked.

" Who are you," Raven said trying to see his face.

Out of the shadow a handsome person's face was shown. He looked like Raven's age.

" Hello Raven. My name is Yanen," he answered.

" How do you know my name," Raven asked.

" Why I am going to be your husband," Yanen answered her.

" You will be my husband. You can not be," Raven said with disbelief.

" Well I will be soon," he said walking up to her.

" I am not getting married not to you. What makes you think I am going to marry someone, who murdered my friend," She yelled.

" I did no such thing. That monster did," he said while Raven was cutting her way out of the ropes.

" What are you doing up here," he asked while walking up to her.

" I have come to get a piece of the shockra. I need it to control my emotions," she exclaimed seriously.

" Your emotions look controlled to me," he said very closely to her face.

" I must leave this horrible planet and the shockra is the only way my powers will not go crazy on a different planet," she muttered.

" Well I am not letting you leave period. You shall be my wife or you will as lifeless as your friend," he said transforming, " for you see, I am the monster.

" You killed Denya," Raven exclaimed.

" Yes, and you shall be joining her shortly." Ready to attack her, she started to laugh.

" You fool. I am already close to the shockra and you will not be able to stop me."

" I already have. You are tied up. How can you escape," he asked nervously.

" As you can see," Raven fell on to the ground holding the ropes, " I am free."

She dodged every attack thrown at her.

" Ha," Raven said running up a staircase, " you are to slow."

As she ran to the end of the stairs, she saw the outside. The monster smacked her smashing her into the wall. She barely could move but would not give up. She tried running as fast as she could to the light. Once she was outside, she saw the shockra. She grabbed a piece and was ready to leave until the monster came out.

" Wait," he yelled.

" Bye," Raven said smiling. She walked backwards and jumped off the mountain.

"Nooooooo," the monster yelled.

As she fell, she landed where Denya was. She picked her up sadly and jumped off the mountain again. This time she flew into a forest. She dug a grave for Denya and mourned her death while putting flowers by her grave.

" Denya why," Raven cried, " why did you come with me. I knew something bad was going to happen. You were always stubborn. I finally have the piece of the shockra and now I will leave this planet. I will come back to visit you someday, I promise." Raven walked away from Denyas' grave.

6 months passed ever since Raven left the castle. She trained long and hard day after day. She learned how to control her emotions and she strengthened her powers by meditating and chanting " Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

" 6 months Raven. 6 months," her father said stuffing his face with food, " you must be dead by now."

" Actually," a familiar voice spoke at the entrance of the castle, " I am very much alive."

" Raven? Is that you," the father asked confused, " what happened?"

" I succeeded in my quest," she answered with a serious look under her hood.

" Really. What proof is there," he asked confident that she was lying.

" Look," she said taking off her hood. There it was. Right there on her forehead.

" How did you.." he yelled.

" I found it at the top of the mountain and because of it I lost something more valuable than the shockra. Now I did as I said and I will leave right now," she said exiting the castle.

" Give it to me," he yelled about to smash her.

She chanted, "Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos," and stopped his fist.

She smacked him into the wall and repeated, " I said I will be leaving right now."

She found her fathers' ship and used an escape pod to leave her planet.

" Let's see," she said typing, " Which planet is best? Good. The planet Earth will do."

As she crash-landed on Earth, the Titans alarm went off. Cyborg was playing Gamestation while Robin was in his room, listening to his CD player.

" Aw come on," Cyborg yelled, " it's the last level. I guess saving the world is saving the world."

" Yo, Robin," he yelled through out the tower, " we got some butt to kick. ROBIN. That boy must be in his room."

" Robin," Cyborg knocked on the door, " Rob."

He accidentally knocked down the door.

Robin got up from his bed saying, " Cyborg, you really didn't have to knock down my door."

" Sorry. I'll fix it later. Something landed in the town. Let's go," Cyborg yelled.

As they ran to the spot where Raven landed, Raven was getting out of the ship. As she got out, a blue beam and a birdarang was thrown at her. She stopped both with her dark energy shield. She picked both of them up with her powers and started talking to them.

" Who are you two," she asked.

" You know," Robin said struggling to break free, " we should be asking you that question."

" Very well. My name is Raven. I am from the planet Azarath. I came here to so I could have a better life," she explained, " Now I ask again. Who are you."

" We would love to answer you but can you put us down," Cyborg asked.

She put both of them down and Cyborg said, " Thanks. Hi, I'm Cyborg and that's Robin. Now tell me. Are you here to destroy the planet?"

" No. If you were listening to me, I said I came here for a better life. Now how did you know I landed here," she asked both boys.

" Back at the Tower we have an alarm that goes off when ever something dangerous happens," Robin answered, " we fight crime, aliens and anything that threatens to destroy us or the planet."

" Really. Do you mind if I join your team," Raven asked.

" Well. Stay here for one second," Cyborg said as he grabbed Robin and ran somewhere.

They came back and Robin said, " O.K."

" Thank you," She replied.

As they walked back to the Tower, they talked. They gave Raven a room and during dinner talked some more.

Cyborg jumped on to the couch and said, " Time to play some Game."

" Cyborg," Robin interrupted him, " it's late. I want to sleep and my door is still broken."

" Fine," Cyborg sighed, " I'll get the tools."

" There is no need for tools," Raven said drinking her herbal tea, " I can fix it. Show me your room."

The boys took her to Robins' room.

" Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos," Raven chanted and the door was up again.

" Cool powers. Thanks a lot Raven. No thank you Cyborg," Robin said closing the door.

" Hey," Cyborg yelled, " if Raven didn't come I would have fixed it. Who cares. Time for some Gamestation. Raven. You want to play?"

" No thank you," she answered, " I am going to bed."

" O.K. Good night," Cyborg said.

And that is how Raven became a Teen Titan though the name of the team was not yet figured out.
