Satan's Child
Castles: DAMN YOU ADULTFANFICTION.NET!!! Why can't you connect for me just when I am in desperate need to read some lemons of Raven and Beast Boy?!?! And I really need some BBxRae action right now, 'cause I won't feel up to writing at all!
Kitty: Calm down, the site will be up again soon…And Castles does not own the Teen Titans. She only puts claims to Shinta, Shinta's boss, the mysterious Deathstroke, and the leader of Brother Blood! And she doesn't own the now ::cough:: dead Slade either!
===
Change-Of-Heart2: Thank you very much for the email! BBxRae4eva has now been banned. (I was keeping close tabs on that bitch) But meanwhile, don't feel too sorry for BB, - fear him! Run from him!! Hide in terror!! cough Sorry about that, I was giving the plot away!!!
Evil Knievel: I'm not that good at fight scenes, I still consider myself an amateur, but I'll try to work in a few more fight scenes! Remind to see that film….
Scribs: Um…well…technically they'd need to eat, sleep and go for a crap in between, so it can't be non-stop…I'll tell you what, wait for me to finish getting my account set up on adultfanfiction.net, and then I'll write a full detailed one-shot lemon for you!!! I may be 14, but I am NO stranger when it comes to that sort of thing!!! Don't worry, Star won't be killed off!!!
Byebyebb18: Don't worry, you'll know soon enough! And yes, Speedy was there on the night Rae got laid by that other guy, so maybe…
Anonymous reviewer: I don't know your name, but I have seen the story, reported the bitch, and she's been banned!!! I kept close tabs on her once I knew, and you rooted twice for me on her story! I don't know who you are, but thank you for supporting me!!
Da Mann: flattered Why thank you, you've given me some good ideas for some odd short stories I may construct. And who knows, later stories, (if there is actually going to be any…) may tell a few backgrounds!! And Slade's actual son died, but I believe that son was called Deathstroke. In this story, the 'alive' Deathstroke is Slade's ADOPTED son! Titan'stower.com is indeed an excellent website, - it's because of that site that I know everything I do about the Titans! I haven't read the comics, but I know a lot!!!
Bishigirl: Oh yeah, that story! Copy, fake, and did absolutely no justice to the pathetic author. Upon emailing her, she told me that she hated me, because I am bisexual, calling me 'queer' and 'bent'. I now have a severe desire to go and stab her to a slow and painful death…
===
Castles: Hmm, whom are we going to kill off? It's such a difficult decision…I'll work it out I guess. ::reading naughty adult stories:: Bad Castles! It's funny, because on adultfanfiction.net, it gives you a pop up when you click on a story link which says 'I am old enough to read this!' I'm far from 18, - but that ain't gonna stop me!! Mwhahahaha!!!
Kitty: Anyway, onto Sacrifice! The reinforcements will most likely be mainly referred to as the 'allies', (We've been doing our History H/W!) and there's going to be a hell of a lot of fighting! Castles and me regret to say that we're coming to the end of the story here, and there are no promises that there'll be a sequel! So, without further ado, we present the latest instalment!
=ó=ó=ó=ó=
As the first few drops of Raven's blood fell, creating the black and red stained portal that swam into existence like a whirlpool, everybody within the crater in the Haden Mountains turned to look at the mystery wormhole opening above them. Titans fighting Shinta's army stopped, turning to glance up in shock. Shinta herself looked up at the ever steady drip of blood. The reinforcements gaped, pointing and forgetting their battle, as their puzzlement equalled that of the many dead souls and giant demons.
For nearly 5 minutes, the only person who was thinking straight at all was Robin, as everyone else was in so much awe that they forgot to fight or do anything else. Raven, far up above, completely ignored the pain in her leg for a few seconds as she gasped in amazement at what was unfolding in front of her. Then, in a spilt second, everybody shook themselves back to their senses, and swung for the enemy once more, Robin continually dashing up the stairs as fast as he could go. All that he could think of was saving Raven, his concentration so intense he failed to notice a particularly low pole stretching across the pathway. He smacked full on into it, his head colliding with the metal, causing him to fall backwards, landing flat on his back.
"Ow…that's gonna leave a mark…" He staggered to his feet, holding his forehead in pain. Pulling his hand away, he discovered a rather large amount of blood on his fingertips. Shrugging his shoulders, and ignoring the burning headache that stretched across his head, he raced on, - remembering to duck beneath the metal pole.
Far below the rather high up Robin, and very slowly dying Raven, the battle beneath, unknowingly which would later on be called The Battle of Haden, the Titans and the reinforcements were not succeeding very well.
"There's too many! We'll never get through in time!" Speedy shouted, firing at several souls.
"Yes we will! I saw BB and Kiya, they've been injured! Robin has gone on!" Starfire called back, defending the front lines having lost the main role leaders of the battle. She was doing a fine job, many of the Atlantians coming to help them out. The rest of the allies were busy on the opposite side, inclosing Shinta and her army, the numbers of declining fast. Despite this, the demon showed no signs of remorse or hesitation.
"The Tower is in the middle of the battlefield, - which is where the enemy is! We'll have to fight through them to get to the Tower! " Cyborg yelled across to the opposite ranks. "Keep goin', we're doing ok!"
"But not for long tin man. I'm going to see to it that Master Trigon has a snack or two when he gets here, and then Master Deathstroke will see to it that the dark witches cast a powerful enough spell to control him! We will rule this plain, with Master Trigon serving as our puppet!" She laughed in glee, sending out a few more troops to crush the Titans.
"Um, how many of those dead thingies are there?! What is it down there, infinity of eternal souls at your willing?!" Aqualad remarked, taking down a soul with a flying kick and a couple of punches.
"The plain of the dead is eternal! Whoever rests there, the ghost spirits of millions of years, can be called upon!" Shinta replied, forming a dark energy ball in her right palm. "And you fish boy, are about to go on a one way trip to meet them!" With a laugh that rang in his ears, she chucked it at the petrified water being, saved by Thunder's quick actions of repelling the ball with his own powers.
"I think you need to be taught a lesson! You shall not harm anyone any longer! Brother, let us call upon the power of the elements!" Thunder beckoned to his brother, as the two cast themselves into the skies, creating dark thunderclouds and lightning crashes. Rain began to fall steadily, causing the hardened ground to develop gradually into sticky mud, dirt pools forming in ditches and empty potholes that lurked around the area. Despite the side effects this had on the Titans and the allies, it had an equally good effect on Shinta, her powers weakened by the lightning, and her army forces also sluggish and dampened down by the rain. Some especially weak souls disintegrated back into the spirit world, their barely opaque bodies unable to cope with such extreme water conditions.
"That's it! Their weakness! Water!" Starfire cried, stopping to throw several Starbolts at nearby enemies, watching as they disappeared.
"You won't be happy for very long. We're going to crush you for all you're worth, and then hand your bodies to Master Trigon! Demons, attack!" She shouted, the remaining forces of her army charging at the Titans, overpowering the tired, exhausted, and skin-soaked warriors. Within minutes, the remaining heroes were pinned to the ground, arms held behind backs, faces forced down to the mud. They were too worn down to fight anymore, as the allies realised swiftly that the two had been captured.
"Quickly! Get over to them!" Aqualad bellowed across to his many friends, not realising what was coming.
"I think, that it is time you handed down your leadership." A quiet voice spoke from beside him. Rubinis, the cult leader of Brother Blood, was standing beside him, holding a gun at the water creature's chest. Aqualad took two deep breaths as he fought the urge to not deck this guy in automatically.
"I'm not going anywhere but home when this battle is done." He replied in a voice as equally grave as Robin could master.
"I don't think so." Rubinis smirked as he moved the gun away from where it was pressing into Aqualad's side, and aiming it for his head. "Bye bye." He teased, before pulling the trigger.
The water being was dead before his body hit the ground.
Blood spilled out over the muddy ground, a single bullet embedded in Aqualad's temple. Even though he was dead, his chest still continued to rise for a few minutes, before his lungs collapsed, and a single, choked word emitted faintly from chapped lips.
"Onnarkai…" The single, 3-syllable word escaped from his throat, before the elderly leader standing beside threw back his head and laughed as Atlantians stared in shock.
"Onnarkai, sebini kei moncai…" One murmured, before Rubinis turned and shot him directly in the chest as well.
His killing spree continued, and within 10 minutes, 49 Atlantians lay dead upon the ground.
And lying beside them, the muddy ground stained with blood, Wildebeest lay dead, his hide stripped by the many servants of Rubinis. Further on still, beside Aqualad's body, Hotspot lay injured, in absolute agony from the blinding pain of the bullet within it.
The ranks were falling, and the allies were dropping one by one.
===
"It's just too much! People are dying! Aqualad and Wildebeest are already dead!" Cyborg waded through the souls to try and reach Starfire and Speedy, the last few holding up the ranks of the Titans side. The remaining Atlantians, and some unrecognisable others were holding up the other end, with Thunder and Lightning doing their best aiding them from the skies. Everybody else was too injured, - or dead.
"We can't stop now! We have to keep going! Raven is depending on us!" The alien replied, blasting several souls. She was suddenly ambushed, two hitting her from behind, sending her sprawling. She turned, blasting them back, hitting one with a starbolt, which vanished into a breath of smoke, but missing the other, which dodged her attack, rushing forward to try and overwhelm her with it's mind powers.
"Now, now, be nice." Rubinis called from where he'd been making his way through the battle, the allied troops falling in their numbers.
"Who are you?" Starfire asked, managing to hit the rogue soul heading her way, stopping to kick at one approaching from behind.
"That's not really important now, is it?" He lifted his gun, shooting the alien dead on in her stomach. "After all, you're dead now." Shrugging his shoulders, leaving the dying girl in agony and blood, he moved on, his intentions becoming clearer to the dwindling heroes.
"Star! Starfire! " Cyborg shoved his way through the crowds, ducking past clouds of evil from the dead souls, avoiding the swings of other enemies trying to get to him, stopping and kneeling beside the fading Starfire. He cupped her head as gently as he could, trying to rouse her, the nearly lifeless alien wincing in pain, her breaths deepening.
"Get them! Now! Whilst they're distracted!" Shinta cried, smiling as the remaining forces of the Titans were grabbed, too exhausted to fight anymore. The injured were thrown down beside them, moans coming from the agonising pain. All of the dead were merely laid out in lines, as heroic soldiers would have been in the Army.
"No…It can't be over…" Cyborg whispered, held by a huge demonic creature with huge horns. "Raven is depending on us and so is the world…"
"It's over metal man. We have won…And oh look, I do believe master Trigon is just arriving now…" She pointed upwards to where the huge portal had grown considerably since he'd last looked. From there, he could see a clawed hand just pulling it's way up to the surface, the tip of a horn pushing up. This was accompanied with loud cries and bellows, roars of vengeance rising from the ashes.
"It is not over yet." A new voice called across the battle field. "It's far from over."
Shinta turned to see both Beast Boy and Kiya, shoving their way through the crowds, anybody who dared to try and stop them getting knocked down in a split second. The angry changeling was not in the mood for playing around, a look of haunting death passing across his face. Kiya didn't look very content either as she trotted along behind her father. Leaving his side for a minute, she strode past everyone to reach the rapidly dying Starfire.
"Star…" She whispered. Getting no response, she carefully placed her hands over the wound in her stomach, her hands becoming encased in a blue light as she healed the wound with as little effort as possible. Starfire's eyes slowly flickered open, blinking fast as she noticed the young changeling in front of her.
"What happened?" She asked, holding onto Kiya for support.
"That's enough!" Shinta finally snapped out of her daze at seeing the two enter, and rushed forward, aiming to hit Kiya. She was stopped as a tiger jumped her, rolling over and pinning her to the ground. With a snarl, he ripped at her sodden clothing with his claws, causing blood to spill, as Beast Boy continued to bite and scratch at her, finally beginning to release his rage of the whole situation. All the anger, pain, worry and fear was allowed freedom as his size continued to grow, nearly crushing Shinta with his body weight.
He would have killed her had it not been for a pleading daughter of his.
"Dad! Dad stop! You'll kill her! If you kill her you'll be no better than she is! Please!" She ran to his side, desperate trying to pull him away, tugging at his wet fur.. Reluctantly, he eventually released his death trap he had unleashed on Shinta, and allowed Kiya to lead him back to the side lines. The demon was in a terrible state, blood falling everywhere. Others came to her sides, pulling her up, taking her away.
The enemy was falling back, the allies, or what remained of them, also backing into their own corner. The fight was over for that moment, but somehow, both Beast Boy and Starfire thought the same thing, - the war was far from over.
"Come on." Beast Boy grimly reminded the sorrowful party. "To the tower. Robin and Rae are counting on us." He turned, everybody who was able and on their feet following. Kiya remained for a few minutes, healing who she could, paying respects to the dead.
Nobody was expecting what was about to happen, as a familiar person was about to fall from the skies…
=ó=ó=ó=ó=
Robin couldn't remember how long ago it had been since he'd watched Beast Boy and Kiya tumble down the staircase. In fact, he couldn't seem to recall when he'd smacked into that pole, practically slitting his head open. The wound was still bleeding, the front of his shirt was stained with drops of blood from where it had run down his face. By far the worst part was the agonising headache that spread through his head, getting to every corner of his mind, blurring his vision, and certainly doing no good for his concentration.
"Where was that opening…" He muttered to himself, finally spotting the exit from the winding stairs. Racing up, he emerged onto an unsteady bridge, an archway overhead. Looking around, he realised that there was more than one person who needed saving up there. To his left, he could see Raven. To his right, he could see a young girl who looked almost dead, the blood was everywhere. Eventually deciding to run for the younger girl, as he had seen Deathstroke over next to Raven, standing like a military officer, he stepped out into the cool night air, the moonlight shining down on them.
Directing his way down the long, unsteady walkway proved more difficult than he had thought. There was no handrails, and no safety nets below. If he slipped and fell, - he was as good as dead.
"Hey. Hey are you okay?" He called softly to the girl, but she was slumped forward, her body limp. Turning her head upwards, Robin felt for a pulse. There was none, and he might of as well been invisible, the girl would never know he had come to save her. Sighing, the Boy Wonder carefully tiptoed back to the archway, before silently drawing his staff, and two birdarangs.
Ready. Aim. Fire!! He thought, simultaneously throwing the two birdarangs swiftly at Deathstroke's turned back. He got a direct hit, the villain's cry of pain alerting Raven, who was also in great pain by that time.
"Robin…How brave of you…But you won't be here for long." Deathstroke quickly recovered, drawing a sword from a scabbard strapped over his shoulder. "Get ready to die."
"I'm only here to save Raven. Now get out of my way." The angry Robin snarled back, as the two began to move towards each other, weapons held at an aimed angle. Within two seconds, each lunged at the other, metal clashing with metal.
"Give up now! Or you'll die as well as her!" Deathstroke hissed.
"Never. " Robin shoved the sword back, swinging his staff forward and catching his opponent clean on the side of his head, knocking him to the ground. Jumping over him, he ran for the desperate demon in front of him.
"Robin…It's too late, I'm already dying…" She cried, wincing in pain.
"It's never too late. I'm going to save you and the world if it's the last thing I do." He determinedly answered, going to untie her. He was stopped by a painful slit across his back, a huge sword slash running down his back. Robin cried out in pain as a long wound opened, his blood falling to mingle with Raven's.
"You are going to die." The enemy simply said. "Now, get on your knees and beg."
"I'd rather kill myself than turn into your slave. " Robin retorted, picking up his dropped staff, and swinging it round, but was stopped by Deathstroke's sword, which retracted, and lunged forward again, catching Robin in the side. More cries of pain came from the wounded hero, as more blood fell, the platform becoming increasingly lagged in the spreading blood.
Falling back, Robin stayed close to Raven, holding his staff in a defensive position. The villain ran forward again, this time dropping his sword, and catching Robin by his staff. Pushing the metal pole down and away from him, he gripped the overpowered hero in a strangulation movement. Slowly throttling the Boy Wonder, Deathstroke moved towards the edge of the platform.
"Bye, bye." He added with an evil smile, releasing his grip on his throat.
He was shocked when Robin grabbed his calf, pulling him forward as Robin dangled over the edge, his only grip on the platform being the villain's leg.
"If I'm going down, - you're coming with me." With that, Robin yanked as hard as he could on Deathstroke's calf, causing him to slip over. With no balance, and nothing to grip hold of for support, the enemy fell over the edge, missing the ledge of the walkway by mere seconds.
"Robin!" Raven shouted as her old friend fell into the darkness, Deathstroke plunging down with him…
