Chapter 5: Soul

Beast Boy, Cyborg, Raven and Robin were discusing what to do with their current guest. "I say we give him the boot"! said Beast Boy Strongly. "I'm with BB on this one, he's got to go." added Cyborg. "I still have dirt in my mouth from this afternoon." Beast Boy said as the humiliation came back into his mind. "So what do you think, Raven"? said Robin in need of a 3rd opinion. "Well, I get a weird hollowness vive from him. it's eerie." "Man, if he can creep out Raven, he must be bad news." added Beast Boy. Raven replied to that with a slight elbow to his chest. "Hey!" said Beast Boy. "Cool it you two," Robin said as he cut both of the off, "I don't trust him as well, but we can't let him out now, not with Slade waiting for us outside when we're still recovering." "No thanks to him" said Beast Boy indignantly as he started walking toward Arcana, who was being asked hundreds of questions about himself by Starfire.

"What kind of movies do you like, where are you from, what's your favorite color..." said Starfire as Arcana just listened, siting on the ground, not paying attention to the Tamaranian's questions. "I got a question, when are you going to apologize for attacking us and thank us for not leaving your butt out there"! Said Beast Boy interrupting Starfire. "Beast Boy"! said Starfire alittle bit shocked. Arcana then got up and looked down on the green changeling. Beast Boy was ready for anything he would say, but instead Arcana shut down Beast Boy's verbal assault by giving him a cold glare. "well....um.." Beast Boy said as he tried to not be intimidated. "Why did you save us anyways"? asked Raven as she and the others butted into the one-sided conversation. "Yeah, I was also thinking that." added Robin. "This was our fight and I don't want people interfering in it. Also, I had to repay her actions." Arcana said as he pointed towards Starfire. "Now my debt is paid." Arcana added.

Beast Boy now had thought of an insult but before he could say anything Arcana walked out of the room. Beast Boy chased after him to continue the argument. "hey you, don't walk away when i'm talki...." Just then, Beast Boy hit an energy barrier that Arcana made so he wouldn't follow. The barrier pushes Beast Boy back and leaves him dazed but otherwise unharmed. "Did someone get the license plate number of that truck"? Beast Boy mumbles as the rest of the Titans come to see what happened. "Are you allright Beast Boy"? asked Starfire. "...Yeah," said Beast Boy as he got up, "But just wait until I get my han...." Beast Boy walked into the barrier again thinking it was a one-shot thing. "Do you think someone should go after him"? Starfire asked Robin. "Yeah, we can't have him loose, but who?" said Robin. "Well, no one's going after him because this barrier is still up." said Cyborg as he lightly poked the barrier with his index finger. "Raven, you can teleport around the barrier, can't you"? asked Robin. "yes, and..." said Raven as she saw everyone look at her. "What"? asked Raven but she knew what they were thinking.

Raven wasn't happy with the group's decision of making her go look for Arcana. "First guarding, and now this." she thought as she walked down the hall. Arcana walked of into an area of the tower that only had the guest room so she didn't need to look far. Arcana was sitting on the guest bed, concentrating. Raven saw this and hid behind the doorway.An energy orb appear from the floor that began to take the shape of a small child that looked like Arcana. Raven didn't knew what was going on, but she began to listen to their conversation. "I had a feeling you were following me, I felt you try to influence me in front of the Titans" Arcana told him. "Please, be reasonable and let us become one again." said the small child made of energy. Arcane just sat there emotionless. "You still don't get it, I don't need you, you are a burden." Arcana told the child. Raven was in shock. "Could that be...his soul"? Raven thought. "But without me, you are incompleate; you can't have friends and you will never be happy." the small child told Arcana. "I'm fine, I don't need friends and even with you I was never happy." Arcana told him as the child started to cry. "I'll leave you to your whimpering." Arcana said as he got up from the bed. "Don't go"! the child said as he ran towards him. "Fine then, you Leave." Arcana said and the small child began to fade and turn back into an orb. The orb then disappeared through the floor. Just then Raven decided to confront Arcana for what he had done. "How can you be that cruel, to yourself of all people." Raven said. Arcana didn't listen, he just left the room and went back to where the others were. Raven Had mixed feelings at that moment, she felt pity for Arcana's soul, but she felt loathing for the rest of him. Raven then left that room as well and decided not to tell the rest of the Titans what she saw. "The sooner he leaves, the better." she said to herself as she walked down the hallway.

As soon as Raven got into the main chamber with the rest of the Titans and the soulless Arcana, The tower shook. "What was that"?! said Cyborg as he tried not to fall over. All of the sudden, Slade appeared on the Big Screen that the Teen Titans had in their main chamber. "That would be my newest toy, made from two that you beat." said Slade as the screen showed what made the tower shake. It was the same spinning wheel disk that came from the remains of that anemone robot the titans fought. "Is it just me or does that thing look familiar"? said Beast Boy. "It should since you destroyed part of it this afternoon." Arcana said. "how do you...nevermind." said Robin as the giant wheel in the sky started spinning clockwise. It started to generate energy and in the middle of the wheel, a ball of the same red energy that gizmo's cannon made, but much bigger, started to form. Then The giant spinning cannon fired again this time making the whole building shake worse than before. "What do you want, Slade"! said Robin angrily as he knew he was playing with them. "Simple Robin, Either you Titans come out of that tower of yours or I'll use this machine on full power to destroy Jump City." Slade said with a sort of smirky tone. "The choice is yours Titans, you have one hour to decide." Slade said and the screen went black.
