Chapter 24

Birth of a monster

Jinx entered the room and sighed as she watched Mammoth pick up Gizmo and growl at him.

"We are not watching this science program" growled Mammoth as he held Gizmo in front of his face.

"Yeah and we're not watching your stupid sports program you toe jam gunk eater" Gizmo spat back as he struggled to break free of Mammoths grip.

"Boy's" sighed Jinx as she walked past them and plopped down on the couch. Suddenly the door to their hideout exploded and instantly stopped Mammoth and Gizmo's fight.

"Knock Knock" hissed a voice as a lone figure walked into the room through the smoke.

"You had better have a good reason for doing that!" roared Mammoth as he dropped Gizmo and glared at the mysterious figure.

"Is wanting to kill you a good reason" laughed Nightmare as he entered the room and stared at Mammoth, making the genetic giant slightly nervous. Mammoth quickly shook away his nerves and rushed at the figure with his hands curled up in huge fists. The figure just laughed as it dodged Mammoth's attacks with incredible speed, Jinx and Gizmo looked on in horror as the figure created a black sword from nowhere and used it to impale Mammoth against the wall.

"You lose" smiled Nightmare as it created another sword and slammed it into Mammoth's chest. All the air in Mammoth's huge body shot out violently as the sword entered his chest, he felt his strength slipping away. He coughed once before he his eyes closed and his body went slack. The figure smiled cruelly as it pulled it's swords free and allowed Mammoth to fall to the floor.

"Mammoth no" gasped Jinx as she watched Mammoth's huge chest stop moving as he fell to the floor.

"Who in the heck are you?" demanded Gizmo as he made his mechanical spider legs shot from his back pack.

"I'm your worst nightmare" laughed Nightmare as he made his swords disappear and walked over to the terrified Jinx and Gizmo.

Why am I doing this? Nightmare asked himself as he used his swords to destroy Gizmo's spider legs.

Nightmare continued to ponder this question as he stabbed Gizmo in the face and flung his body across the room. He roared in fury as he realised that Onyx still had a small bit of control over his actions.

"Dam you Onyx!" screamed Nightmare as he threw his sword at Jinx and pinned her against the wall by. Jinx screamed in pain as she tried to pull the blade free.

"Aww don't worry I haven't finished with you just yet, your going to be my bait" laughed Nightmare as he regained control and approached the screaming Jinx.

Nightwing opened his eyes and found himself standing in a field of waving grass.

"What the?" he groaned as he stood up and looked around him.

"What are you doing here?" asked a voice from behind him. Nightwing spun round pulling out his bo staff in the process. He dropped his weapon whenever he saw who had spoken to him.

"Onyx?" gasped Nightwing as he looked and saw the former Titan standing in front of him.

"Do I know you?" asked Onyx as he looked at Nightwing in confusion.

"Onyx it's me, it's Robin your friend" replied Nightwing he reached out and touched Onyx.

"No you took Raven from me!" hissed Onyx as his body began to change before Nightwing's eyes.

"Onyx fight it your stronger than this!" yelled Nightwing as he watched Onyx slowly disappear into darkness.

"Onyx is no more only Nightmare remains" laughed Nightmare as he appeared from the darkness and glared at Nightwing, "Now leave this place!" he roared as he blasted Nightwing with another bolt of crimson lightning.

"ONYX!" screamed Nightwing as he shot up out of bed and looked about for his adversary.

"Bad dream? " whispered Raven as she placed her hand on his forehead and stoked his hair gently. Nighwing nodded and slowly lay his head back down.

"Where am I?" asked Nightwing as he took Raven's hand and kissed it gently.

"Your in my room" smiled Raven as she sat down next to him on her bed.

"Where everyone?" Nightwing asked as he tried to sit up again but his head still pounded.

"They are out looking for Nightmare" replied Raven as she helped Nightwing to sit up.

"What?" gasped Nightwing as he turned and looked at her.

"We got a message from Jinx saying that Nightmare was spotted down town," raven replied again as she looked at Nightwing in confusion.

"Jinx?" asked Nightwing, there a tone of urgency in his voice.

"Yeah I know it may sound strange but she apparently wants to turn over a new leaf" replied Raven as she watched Nightwing stand and reach for his bo staff, "And where are you going?" she asked as she watched him walk towards the door.

"I have to help them" replied Nightwing before he collapsed to the floor and held his ribs.

"You not in any condition to help anyone" Raven said as she walked over to him and tried to make him go back to bed.

"I'm sorry" sighed Nightwing sadly as he rammed his bo staff into her chest, knocking the wind out of her. He smiled as he caught her and carried her over to her bed.

"But I have to help them" he whispered as he kissed her forehead and left the room.

"Dudes tell me why are we doing this?" asked Beast Boy as they approached the coordinates Jinx gave them.

"We have to find Nightmare and stop him" replied Crow as he appeared beside the green changeling, making Beast Boy jump into the air.

"Dude stop doing that!" yelled Beast boy as he held his chest and panted heavily, Crow just smiled at him and walked on ahead. The rest of the Titan's followed Crow until they came to a huge set of black doors.

"We're here" said Cyborg as he looked up at the huge doors.

"Then why not knock and see who's in" smiled Terra her eyes glowed a bright yellow as she sent a huge boulder crashing into the door.

"Very delicate" smiled Crow as he kissed her gently on the cheek before entering the dark building.

"What that was delicate" smiled Terra as she followed after him and grabbed his hand.

"Jinx we're here where are you?" yelled Cyborg as he entered the room and turned on his shoulder light.

"Now what do we do?" asked Beast Boy as he entered the room and looked around him

"I believe I laugh and say you've fallen for my trap" laughed Nightmare as he stepped out of the darkness and looked at the Titan's.

"Titan's go!" yelled Cyborg as the Titan's charged at Nightmare, who was still laughing sadistically.

Nightwing ran as fast as he could and then some.

"I have to help them" he kept saying to himself as he ran into the city. He ha no time to stop, no time to be tired, no time to fall, no time to bleed he had to save his friends. He eventually fell and lay on the ground, his legs burned, his breath was short.

"No I have to help them" he panted as he tried to stand back up, but he had no strength in his tired legs.

"Give me the strength!" he yelled into the darkness as he punched the ground with his fists.

"Need a hand" hissed a voice in front of Nightwing. Nightwing looked up and saw a clawed red hand extended in front of him.

"Thanks" he whispered as he took the hand and stood back up.

"Now go and save your friends" smiled Trigon as his body started to fade away into nothing.

Nightmare continued to laugh as he avoided each of the titan's attacks.

"Please is that all you can muster" laughed Nightmare as he batted away Cyborg's sonic cannon blast and sent it flying into Terra. Crow roared as he watched Terra fall and blasted Nightmare with a continuous beam of black energy. Starfire landed beside him and added her own emerald energy to Crow's attack. Nightmare just smiled as the beam hit him the chest and sent him flying through a wall.

"Booya!" cheered Cyborg as he watched the wall collapse on top of Nightmare.

"We did it!" yelled Beast Boy as he ran over to Terra and helped her to stand back up. Crow and Starfire just smiled before they both fell to the ground exhausted from the attack. Cyborg was about to run over to them until he was stopped by a sudden explosion from the rubble Nightmare lay under.

"Nice blast" he mocked as he stood back up and dusted off his coat, "Now the real fun can begin" he smiled as he summoned his twin swords. Cyborg didn't have any time to react as Nightmare appeared beside him and slashed his sonic cannon arm off at the shoulder, Cyborg screamed in pain as the sparks flew from his ruined arm. Nightmare was about to finish him until Terra sent a huge pile of rocks at him knocking him away from Cyborg.

"Your turn" smiled Nightmare as he charged at Beast Boy and slashed away at the changeling. Beast Boy managed to avoid the attacks as he transformed into a small mouse and ran from Nightmare. Nightmare was about to follow until Starfire blasted him with several Star bolts. Nightmare hissed as he deflected each of the emerald blasts and sent a bolt of crimson energy at Starfire, knocking her out of the air. Beast Boy roared as he changed into a huge green gorilla and charged at Nightmare, Nightmare leapt out the way of Beast Boy's huge fists and made his swords vanish into nothing as he jumped away from the enraged Beast Boy.

"Oh what a scary monkey" smirked Nightmare as he grabbed Beast Boy and threw him through a wall. Beast Boy just stood back up and ran at Nightmare once again. Nightmare just laughed as he held his palm at the green gorilla and sent a bolt of crimson lightning, changing Beast Boy back into his human form unconscious. Nightmare didn't have long to celebrate as Terra and Crow combined their energies and sent a beam of golden and black energy at him. Nightmare barely avoided the attack and blasted Crow away with a quick ball of black energy.

"Now it's just you and me" smiled Nightmare as he cracked his neck and walked towards Terra.

"I don't think so!" yelled Nightwing as he knocked Nightmare away with a flying kick to the chest

"Ahh Nightwing so glad you could make it" smiled Nightmare as he stood back up and rubbed his chest.

"Sorry I' late" smiled Nightwing as he pulled out his bo staff and entered his fight stance.

"Don't worry I was saving the best thing for last" smiled Nightmare as he blasted Terra with a small beam of crimson of energy, slamming her against a wall, and summoned a black staff to his hand and motioned for Nightwing to attack. Nightwing roared in fury as he leapt at Nightmare.

"Raven wake up please?" asked a voice.

Raven slowly opened her eyes and looked up to see Timid standing over her.

"Timid what are you doing here?" asked Raven as she sat up and looked at her 'sister'.

"I live here" smiled Timid as she revealed that Raven was in her own mind.

"Ok then what am I doing here?" asked raven as she stood up and rubbed her head.

"He wants to speak to you" Timid said softly as she walked towards a huge castle. Raven knew who she was talking about and followed her sister to the creepy castle.

"Bout time" smiled Gross as she jumped up and looked at Raven.

"Welcome back!" cheered Happy as she grabbed Raven as hugged her tightly.

"Where is he?" asked Raven s she looked at Timid. Timid pulled up her hood and pointed to a dark corridor. Raven took a deep breath and slowly walked down the corridor.

"Look who finally came back" hissed Hate as she pushed her way past Raven, almost knocking her to the floor. Raven would have normally attacked anybody who did this but she had more important things to do.

Nightmare sent Nightwing flying across the room and leapt after him. Nightwing rolled out the way as Nightmare slammed his staff into the ground next to his head, Nightwing smiled as he used his b staff to smack Nightmare in the ribs making him roar in pain as he skidded across the floor.

"Nice shot" smiled Nightmare as he stood back up and looked at Nightwing.

"And there's more where that came from" replied Nightwing as he leapt at Nightmare. Nightmare jumped away from Nightwing's bo staff but was caught with a couple of exploding disks in the chest. Nightmare snorted in anger as he threw a black energy ball at Nightwing , hitting him the chest. Nightmare was determined to match Nightwing blow for blow. Why won't they wake up I didn't hit them that hard? thought Nightmare as he dodged another of Nightwing's attacks.

"Hello sister or should I say daughter" smiled Rage as she watched Raven enter her prison.

"What do want Rage or should I say Trigon?" asked Raven as she stood as far as possible from her father/sister.

"Your brother is in trouble" replied Rage as she looked up at Raven, "He is about to release father into the human realm"

"Crow would never do that! yelled raven as she looked at her sister/father.

"He won't have a choice dear little Raven" Rage said softly as she looked into Raven eyes, Raven could see that rage was telling her the truth that's what scared her the most.

Nightmare avoided another attack and swung his staff at Nightwing's ribs. Nightwing block the attack and tried to force Nightmare to the ground.

"Come on Nightwing you know you can't neat me" hissed Nightmare as he looked into Nightwing's blind eyes.

"Wanna bet" smiled Nightwing as he threw Nightmare across the room. Nightmare stood back up and glanced over at Crow and Terra slowly standing back up.

"About time" laughed Nightmare as he threw a huge black energy ball at Nightwing and ran over to Them. Nightwing managed to block the energy ball with his bo staff and watched as Nightmare battled with Crow and Terra. He watched in horror as Nightmare kicked Crow away and grabbed Terra by the neck.

"Say goodbye to your true love Crow" smiled Nightmare as he gently jerked his wrist and made Terra's body go limp. Crow watched in horror as Nightmare casually ended Terra's life without a second thought. He screamed a silent scream as Nightmare tossed away Terra's body and blasted it into nothing with a pillar of dark fire.

"NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" screamed Crow as he dropped to his knees and clutched his head.

"That's right Crow open your big beautiful eyes, make me pay for killing Terra" smiled Nightmare as he watched Crow slam his head against the ground. Crow couldn't fight it any more he had to open his eyes, he had to make Nightmare pay.

"Crow don't, that's he wants you do!" screamed Raven as she appeared from the shadows, but she was to late. She watched her brother stand up and look at Nightmare, his eyes where open.

"Let the end begin!" laughed Nightmare as he watched Crow's body convulse and slowly begin to change. Crow screamed in pain as his body under wet it's hideous change, his clothes where torn off his body as it expanded. His skin was no longer pale it was now blood red and covered in scales. His body was no longer human it was a demonic. His eyes where no longer pale blue they where now blood red and full of rage and hate, his four eyes all looked down at Nightmare. Crow was gone from this realm only his demon side remained, his and Raven's father had finally returned to Earth.

"Have fun Titan's" smiled Nightmare as he disappeared into a pillar of darkness. Crow growled with animalistic fury as he turned and looked down at Raven and Nightwin, his eyes burned with uncontrollable rage.
