Over Time: Chapter 13: Demon Confrontations

"Happy Valentine's Day Titans. I'm Aroree." Beast Boy suddenly jolted up from his sleep. Aroree looked around and studied the Titans.
'They don't look so tough.'
"Who are you?" Beast Boy asked.
"I just said, I'm Aroree."
"Why are you here?" Cyborg asked, saving his little green friend from humiliation.
"I'm here to take that little boy." She pointed at Robin.
"Little Boy?!" Robin became angry at being called little but Aroree ignored it.
"Yeah, you heard me. You heard of Slade?" Aroree asked, when suddenly a green starbolt striked her on her arm.
"Hey hey hey! What was that for?!" Aroree put a hand over her arm where it hit.
"Robin is not going to go with you." Starfire said sternly.
"He's got no choice hun!" A group of Slade's henchmen appeared behind her.
"Oh great. Khavi, stay back." Cyborg warned as he got his sonic cannon ready. Aroree also got ready by pulling her sword out of her sheath. Khavi went to hide under the bridge, watching from a safe distance.
"You are not coming anywhere near Robin. Slade has done enough damage as it is, I will not let him hurt Robin again." Starfire's fury made her starbolts glow brighter than it ever did. Robin sighed at her possessiveness as he pulled out his staff.
"Very cute." Aroree said sarcastically.
"ACHOOO!" Beast Boy faked sneezed. "Sorry, SARCASM allergies."
Aroree signaled a few of the henchmen to get the green jokester.
"For that stupid sneeze, you're going to die first."
"Aahhh!" Beast Boy ran for his life. And out of surprise, he suddenly turned around and charged them as a rhino. Like a predictable villain, Aroree sent at least five henchmen to each Titan as she watched them.
"This might be easier than I thought." Aroree chuckled to herself.
Cyborg was having no trouble at all blasting those bloody henchmen with his cannon. You could hear faint cheering from Khavi. On the other hand, Beast Boy was having some trouble.
The five henchmen we ganged up around him, ready to attack at any given moment. Beast Boy picked up a pebble, and threatened to throw it.
"Look! I have a pebble... now I'll give you 'till the count of three..." A henchman simply kicked the pebble out of his hand. "Umm... on second thought, why don't I just count to twenty? Ahh!" He ran off with the henchmen chasing him until he was back to back with Cyborg.
"Great! Five more henchmen. Thanks BB!" An aggravated Cyborg said.
"ACHOO!"
"Ok, STOP with the sarcasm allergies. And could you be a little more helpful!?" Cyborg said as he blasted another henchman.
"Umm...umm yeah! I'll just turn into an animal!" Beast Boy morphed.
"A FISH?! A FISH?! BB, C'MON YOU'RE A FISH!"
"Hey, I figured they could slip on me!"
"A fish... you're feared by no one and eaten by all!" Cyborg exclaimed.
"What do you suggest smart mouth?!"
"A TIGER!" Beast Boy wasted no time in changing to a fierce green tiger, taking bites at the henchmen. He roared and lunged at one of the henchmen's legs and flung him into the water where the robotic figure lay in it's watery grave.
"Serves them right!" Beast Boy looked over at Raven who was doing a good job of blocking off the henchmen with her powers. But when she could no longer hold off her powers, she proceeded to physical attacks.
"Raven, behind you!" Beast Boy squeaked. Raven quickly turned around kicked the henchman's head off just as he was about to strike her. She stared at Beast Boy wide eyed as she saw something creep up from behind him. She quickly lunged at it and knocked it out, saving Beast Boy.
"Woah, thanks Raye." Beast Boy offered her a hand to help her up. She gave him a weak smile.
"Save it for later." She frowned when she saw that Aroree summoned more henchmen.
Robin was having trouble fighting two henchmen without his legs, only having his Retractable Bo Staff. He didn't have enough time to grab a few bird-a-rangs since the henchmen were throwing punches at full speed. One kick from those robotic dweebs earned Robin a good face plant. Robin was now worried because he knew he couldn't get up. He looked up and saw a fist drawing closer and closer to his face.
Then something green blurred by. Robin looked over to where the henchman fell. It had burn marks all over it's chest. Then he looked in the direction where that flash of green came from.
It was Starfire. She gave Robin a look that told him that everything would be alright, and he trusted her. That look was gone in an instant when she turned around a blasted two more henchmen with her righteous fury.
Robin was bewildered that the henchmen were longer attacking him, but Starfire. He made an effort to get up, but only got as high as his arms would take him. Out of the corner of his eyes, he noticed a figure approach him. When he turned his head, he was immediately greeted with a fist. Then everything was black.
"That'll knock him out for a second." Aroree said as she dusted off her fist.
"Hey Aroree!" Cyborg called. Aroree turned, only to knocked to the ground thirty feet away from Robin. Cyborg blew at the top of his cannon, just as a cowboy would do with his gun after he shot the enemy. Aroree could feel nothing but pain as she tried to get up but she could only move her head. She looked down at her stomach and saw a huge gash that was only flowing blood. She quickly put her hand over it and used her free hand to wipe the blood from her mouth. A dark voice came from above. Robin started to stir.
"Little sister, can't handle a bunch of kids?" Robin's eyes grew wide.
'I know that voice.' He thought in utter surprise.
"What? Little sister?! Who are you?" Aroree questioned as her arm experienced that very familiar burn.
"Is that the kind of greeting you give your own brother?"
Aroree pulled her sword out and got into a fighting stance.
"What do you want?" She asked. Devion kept a straight face.
"Merely here to watch the most interesting show you've put on."
"AAACHHHOOOO!" Beast Boy sniffed. "Damn sarcasm allergies." Raven elbowed him.
"I thought I kicked your ass a while back!" Robin snarled, still on the ground. (A/N: Linked to Ridiculously Romantic.)
"Pathetic mortal." Devion scoffed. "I thought you already know that I've been dead for quite sometime now. I cannot be killed physically."
"You seem to have forgotten to mention that." Robin said through his clenched teeth. Devion now focused on who was standing behind the fallen boy.
"Ah, Starfire. Looking more beautiful everyday."
"Save it Devion." She said harshly.
"Is that the way to talk to your future husband?" Robin flinched.
"I am certain that I do not want to spend my future with you." Starfire's starbolts began glowing a brighter green.
"Fine. Be that way." He quickly glided over to Starfire, grabbed her by the waist, and went back to his original spot. It all happened in a blink of an eye.
"Woah..." Raven awed. She and Aroree were probably the only two who saw it.
"Dude, how did Starfire get over there?" Beast Boy asked.
"No, how did Devion get over here?" Cyborg corrected as he was helping Robin back to his wheelchair.
"Let her go!" Robin nearly yelled. He could see Starfire trying to struggle from his grip. Devion didn't bother to listen to Robin.
"Starfire is destined to be my-" The demon prince was cut off when a large gash appeared on his torso, but Devion did not show any signs of pain. When he turned around, he saw Aroree. She was holding a sword that was drenched in blood. Devion's blood.
"Is that all little sister? A child of Lucifer should be using more force and should have a more powerful weapon. You expect me to die of a cut from that toothpick of yours?" Devion winced in pain for a mere second.
"Just as I thought. You CAN feel pain. I thought so. After all, you are half human." Aroree turned her body and dipped her sword in the pond to wash off all the blood.
"When did she slice him?" Beast Boy asked.
"She has great speed." Raven observed.
"You are also-" Devion started.
"Yeah, you? You gotta shut up. I'm only here to get Robin, give him to Slade so he can shut the hell up, then take my place as queen in hell. So you, aren't needed nor wanted in this whole situation." Aroree pointed her finger sassily at her brother.
"How interesting." Devion said, tightening his grip on Starfire.
"AACHOOOO! Hm... do I sense some SARCASM?!" Beast Boy asked, not knowing that that could earn him a good ass whooping.
"Devion, let Starfire go." Robin repeated. Devion did nothing but hold on tighter, putting painful pressure to Starfire's waist, which caused her to yelp.
"Over my dead body." Devion said, half joking.
"You ARE dead." Beast Boy pointed out. Devion turned his head toward the green teen's direction.
"You have been much of a disturbance." He took his staff and clonked Beast Boy on the head using the side with not spikes.
"Is that all you're gonna do, demon boy?" Beast Boy asked. Raven rolled her eyes.
'Does he not know we're dealing with two demons?!' She thought in her mind.
Devion's patience grew thin. Again, he whacked Beast Boy on the head hard.
"Again with the head? I have other body parts you know..." He said, half conscious. Devion smirked and raised his hand. His palm was facing the other four Titans and a strong wind came from it. But instead of being blown away, the Titans, excluding Starfire, were trapped in separate, clear, silver bubbles. (A/N: Much like in Only Human.) Starfire became furious and aimed her starbolts at his face.
"Let them go..." She said slowly, but sternly. Devion gave her a hard stare then, kissed her harshly on the cheek, claiming her as his property. Then he threw her forcefully into the same bubble as Beast Boy.
"I will make you my wife Starfire," he turned towards his sister. "I just need to take care of some family business."
"...Oh! You were talking to me." Aroree said, not taking Devion seriously.
"Star, if you could come in, we could get out!" Beast Boy exclaimed as he ran into the interior of the bubble.
"You underestimate me mortal." Devion said, not looking at Beast Boy. He kept his focus on his so called other half. "These are special kinds of traps. And you... little sister, you should learn to respect people older than you. Especially me, your older brother."
"Yeah... like a hundred years older." Aroree muttered under her breath. "Say what?" She said louder. She was tempted to slice his head off right then and there, but she decided to find out who or what she was dealing with.
"You are one with words." Devion complimented.
"And I'm better with my sword." Aroree spat back.
"Is that a challenge?"
"A challenge to the death, dear brother."
+ ++ + A/N: . Um, yeah, this was supposed to be the chapter with all the action. But I know you all can wait –the crowd goes boo!- Feh! Just wait ^_^. I'm not that good with action, so don't expect much. But it will have action. YO, be sure to watch Teen Titan's tomorrow! Much Love, Seventy 5ive
