Chapter 13

Unexpected arrival

Starfire, Genesis and Onyx stood on the roof of the hospital and looked out over the city. The sun was sitting just above the city and made it look like the whole place was made of gold, it was a beautiful sight, but none of them noticed it they where lost in a world of pain and darkness.

"Why did she have to die?" wept Starfire as she stood next to a crying Genesis. Onyx wanted to say something to try and comfort the alien girl but he couldn't think of anything to say.

"It was simply her time" replied Genesis as she looked up at the sky, tears crept quietly from her eyes. Onyx couldn't believe what had just happened, Raven had died and it was all his fault. Why am I not crying, don't I care, I just lost a friend and I don't feel anything he kept thinking to himself as he wished for tears to come out of his eyes.

"Who said it was her time, because who ever it was wrong? Raven did not deserve to die" wept Starfire as Genesis put her arm around her and held Starfire's head against her shoulder.

"I did" hissed a dark voice from behind them. Genesis turned and saw a hooded figure standing behind them watching them mourn Raven's death.

"You" growled Genesis as Onyx and Starfire turned and saw the figure as well.

Robin still couldn't believe Raven was alive, he couldn't wipe the smile off his face. He watched her sit up and take the needles out and remove the bandages from her arm.

"What are you smiling at?" asked Raven as she looked at Robin and raised an eyebrow at him.

"Nothing" Robin simply replied as he kept smiling at her. Raven just smiled back as a thought came into her head.

"Oh so I'm nothing now is that what you think?" Raven replied as she turned her back to him and crossed her arms, pretending to be mad at him.

"no you're not…I mean…I meant to say" panicked Robin as he struggled to think of an answer. Raven just smiled and turned round and put her hand over his mouth. Robin frowned at her whenever he realised what she was doing, he removed Raven's hand fro his mouth and revealed that he was smiling at her still.

"I missed you" he whispered as he leant closer to her and kissed her passionately, wrapping his arms around her body and holding her close to him. Raven wrapped her arms around his neck and deepened the kiss between them. She then suddenly broke the kiss and looked up at him, fear had found its way into her eyes.

"What is it?" Robin asked as he noticed the fear in her eyes.

"He's here" Raven replied softly as she started to tremble slightly, fear was present in her voice, "He's here" she said again as she threw herself against Robin's chest.

"What are doing her?" demanded Genesis as she held Starfire and Onyx behind her and stared at the figure.

"What no hello. I mean we haven't seen each other in over 200 millennia and you don't even say hello, God you've changed" replied the figure as it walked over to Genesis.

"Don't come any closer" growled Genesis as she started to glow with golden energy.

"Not this routine again" sighed the figure as it stopped and started to glow with black energy, "Haven't you learnt anything from the last time we fought?"

"Yeah your gonna lose this time" replied Genesis as she launched herself at the figure.

"We'll see about that" laughed the figure as it stared to float n the air, "Keep up if you can" it hissed before it took off with incredible speed.

"You lead I'll follow!" yelled Genesis as she took off after the figure with the same speed.

"What was that about?" asked Starfire as she watched Genesis speed off after the figure.

"I don't know but I intend to find out" replied Onyx as he ran towards the edge of the hospital and jumped.

"Going up" smiled Starfire as she grabbed hold of him and flew off after Genesis.

"Follow that goddess" cheered Onyx as Starfire sped off across the sky.

Cyborg finally finished filling out the forms and wiped away his tears. Raven was now officially dead to the world.

"Here you go" he said softly as he handed the forms back over to the doctor.

"Thank you and once again I'm sorry" the doctor said as he put the forms into a file. Cyborg didn't say a thing he just stood up and walked out of the office and took a deep breath. Suddenly Beast Boy came out of nowhere and splatted into Cyborg's chest.

"Wow are you ok man?" asked Cyborg as he smiled and helped pick Beast Boy back up.

"I'm fine" coughed Beast boy as tried to shake the dizziness out of his head, "Cyborg dude she's alive, she's ok"

"Who is?" asked a puzzled looking Cyborg as he looked at green friend.

"Raven she's alive!" yelled Beast Boy loudly making several patients turn round and glare at him while he grabbed Cyborg's ahnds and danced around in a circle with him.

"Are you sure your ok?" asked Cyborg as he tore free from the dancing Beast Boy and activated his scanner and to examine Beast Boy.

"I'm fine and so is Raven, weren't you listening to what i just said saying?" exclaimed Beast Boy as he forced Cyborg to put away his scanner.

"This is no time for one of your stupid jokes Beast Boy" growled Cyborg angrily as he looked down at Beast Boy, who started dancing aronud in a circle again.

"Dude this is no joke!" yelled Beast Boy as he stopped dancing turned and walked back down the corridor, "Follow me and see for yourself then" he said as he stopped and looked at Cyborg. Cyborg didn't know why but he believed Beast Boy and soon found himself standing outside Raven's room.

"I don't believe it" gasped Cyborg as he looked in and saw Robin help raven out of bed and stand up.

"Told you" smiled Beast Boy as he opened the door and entered the room.

"Where is she?" hissed the figure as it paced up and down in a parking lot. It stopped whenever it noticed a group of people enter the lot, "Well I might as well have some fun while I wait" it hissed as it walked towards the group and revealed it's claws.

"Leave them alone!" screamed Genesis as she appeared out of nowhere and kicked the figure, sending it flying into a nearby car, "Get out of here now!" she yelled to the group of terrified people as she watched the figure sit up and look directly at her.

"Took you long enough" hissed the figure as it stood back up and dusted itself off. It then cast it's attention back to the group of people making them run in terror.

"Well I'm not as fast as you at running" smirked Genesis as she entered her fighting stance.

"That's rich coming from a being that has spent her entire existence running from the darkness" hissed the figure as it stropped dusted itself and laughed.

"Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me" chanted Genesis as she stuck her tongue out at the figure.

"How cute…well if words won't hurt you maybe this will" laughed the figure as it's body started to expanded and grow. Genesis watched in horror as it's limbs stretched and shot off into extreme angles. She heard bones crack and muscles break as the figure's body began to undergo a strange change. Before Genesis even knew it there was a huge explosion of black energy that blinded her for a moment. Once the smoke cleared Genesis saw that she no longer faced the hooded figure she instead found herself looking into the eyes of a huge black dragon.

"Ok this is new" gulped Genesis as she summoned her battle staff to her hands and looked up at the dragon.

"Are you ready life giver?" roared the dragon as it flexed it's wings and looked down at the small goddess, fumes bellowed from it's mouth.

"As ready as I'll ever be!" yelled Genesis as she flew directly at the dragons face.

"What in the name of pepperoni and cheese pizza is that?" gasped Onyx as he saw a huge black dragon appear from the huge explosion of energy.

"I do not know" replied Starfire as she stopped flying and floated in place for a while, looking in horror at the dragon roaring and flexing it's wings.

"Wanna go find out?" smiled Onyx as he cracked his knuckles and looked up at Starfire. Starfire just nodded and flew towards the dragon as fast as her body would allow, "You had better call the others, I do not think we can handle this creature alone"

"Fine" sighed Onyx as he reached into his pocket and lifted out his communicator.
