Chapter 7: Sibling Rivalry
Raven looked back and forth between her two brothers, confused. "Aw, dont tell me the beast didnt mention me in his little story?" Kardak said in a snotty tone. Kardol growled lowly in his throught. Raven looked at Kardak. "Yes, he mentioned you," she said, "and he said you treated you own mother like crap." Kardak got a look of disgust on his face. "That woman was weak. Such a pitiful piece of scum descerves what she got." he said, spiting at Raven's feet. Kardol's low growl became a rumbleing roar. "DONT YOU EVER SPEAK OF HER LIKE THAT!" he screamed as he lunged at his brother. Kardak simply smiled and snaped his fingers. The shadowy creatures that surrounded Raven takled Kardol to the ground. He pushed them off and shot to his feet. One of them jumped on his back, trying to stangle him with its wispy, yet solid, arms. Kardol reached behind him, whiped the shadow being over his shoulder and held it at arms length. His mouth glowed for a moment......
With a bright flash, the creatures dark head disintegrated. Kardol droped it, causing it to turn to ashes on impact with the floor. Instantly, the other creatures leapt at him. One by one Kardol fought them off, either killing or wounding them. However, when one died, another just poped out of nowhere to take its place. It was like they had no end.
While his brother was busy with the shadows, Kardak watched with joy on his face. Raven gave him a dark look. "How?" she asked, "How can you do this to your own family?" Kardak frowned at her. "Shut up." he said coldly, "As much as I cant change it, im ashamed to call such weaklings as you two my family." It was now Raven's turn to frown at him. "In that case..." she said, ".....azerath metrion ZINTHOS!" she screamed as a wave of phycic energy shot at Kardak. However, he just smiled as the blast seemed to go through him. Raven gave a look of confusion and sent another blast at him. This time he just dissapeared before the blast reached him. Raven looked around, her hands glowing black. "Your too slow." Kardak's voice said inches from her ear. Raven whirled around to face him, but stoped when a intense pain shot through her abdomen. Kardak's fist sank into her gut while he smiled. He pulled out, causing Raven to drop to her knees, clutching her stomach in pain. She looked up when a bright pinkish glow lit up the floor around her. The next thing she knew she was up aganst the far wall, sliding down to her bed, her head feeling light. Kardak held his right arm in place, his thumb, index and middle fingers extented in a triangular formation. He smirked. "Your not the only one who can shoot sparks, sister." he said as a reddish-pink glow filled in the space between his fingers.
Kardak stoped in surprise when two muscular arms wraped around him, followed by a crushing sensation. Kardol breathed heavily into his ears. "Your going to pay for that." he said coldly. Kardak smiled even when he strugled to breathe. "Whats the matter, brother?" he asked breathlessly, "Worried your little sister might get a bruise? Ohh, father wont like that." Kardol simply squeezed harder. "Get it through your head, brother," he said, "I dont give a damn what that thing thinks of me." Kardak smiled. "Well, maybe this will change your mind." he said. Kardol suddenly felt nothing in his arms as Kardak dissapeared. His confusion was replaced by a sharp pain in his lower back. He spun around to catch Kardak again, but grasped nothing but air. Another pain shot through his ribs. Again, he spun to catch his opponet, and again got nothing. He suddenly felt pain all over his body as Kardak repedatly punched him, one spot after another.
Raven shook her head and looked up at Kardol. His body was jerking back and forth for no aperent reason. She looked at him in confusion. Then she noticed Kardak wasnt anywhere. Instantly she came to a conclusion. Its Kardak, she thought, hes moving to fast to be seen. She looked around franticly, searching for a way to help. A small bag of sand caught her eye. It glowed black and levitated up to her face. On it was written, "Magic Sand: For good luck" Lets hope its right Raven thought as she launched the bag in her brother's direction.
As if guided by a unknown force, the bag smacked right in Kardak's face, bursting on impact. Sand filled into his eyes, blinding him, casuing him to go off course and smack into a wall, falling to the floor. He moaned with agony as he tried desperately to get the burning sand out of his eyes. Kardol spun around and spoted his brother lying on the floor. He rasied his fist and drove it downwards for the deathblow. Unfourenately, Kardak managed to get enough sand out to where he could see again. He saw Kardol's attack coming and dissapeared, casuing Kardol fist to slam into the steel and concrete floor. His hand now throbbing, Kardol turned his long neck back and forth, searching for his evil sibling. Suddenly, Raven's raspy voice rang out. "Behind you!" she screamed, but it was too late. Kardol's ears rang with the sickening sound of his wings coming free from thier joints and falling to the floor, coviering it like a scaley blanket. He feel to his knees and let out a tremendous roar of pain as Kardak walked on his disslocated wings, adding to the suffering. "Shame about those," he said, "too bad you didnt keep the warinty." Kardol shot his fist upwards, a feeling of rage flowing through him. However, Kardak was already behind Raven, holding two fingers in the air. Raven looked behind her with horror as Kardak grined. "Nighty night." he said, and drove his fingers to a spot on her neck, just under her jawbone. Raven's eyes rolled back into her head as she fell to the bed, out cold. Kardol roared and shot to his feet running as Kardak slung the limp Raven over his shoulder. He gave a good bye salute and vanished.
Kardol froze at the foot of Raven's bed, stuned with shock. Suddnely his face gained a expression of rage and he slamed his fists down on the bed, crushing it. He fell to his knees as the Titans rushed in battle ready. They all looked around in confusion before looking at Kardol. Robin ran up to him and knelt down beside the beast. "What happend?" he asked, "Where's Raven?"
Kardol didnt answer for a moment. ".....she's gone." he said, tears falling onto the blankets below.
Another chapter down! Please R&R.
And in response to some of my reviews, as far as im concerned, Kardol and Kardak are Raven's only siblings. I dont plan to introduce any more unknown family members. Also, this will never become a Robin/Raven story. Even if i did do love stories, i just dont think that match could ever work. Sorry.
