Well, I'm not quite sure if you understood what I said. The sequel will be the same story, but the plot will be different. Something will happen in this chapter that will change the entire plot, and I could just continue it in this story... but I think that this story might have too many chapters.
The story isn't ending, just splitting into two parts, you'll understand after this chapter, trust me. It's not even close to over.
By the way, does anyone have a really good picture of Trigon? From the cartoon, so you can see his tattoos and stuff? Just give me the link, I would really appreciate it.
I still can't decide if I want to make this a songfic, (Scratches head) Awww, what the hell!
Enjoy the songfic!! Take me away, Avril Lavigne!!!
And don't forget to check out the update after this for the information on the sequel!!

"How sweet, little dark bird."
The voice hissed in her ears. Only one person had ever called her that, her little pet name from the home she had left behind.
Beast Boy clamped his jaws around the monster's neck, enjoying the choking noise that erupted from its throat. His jaws couldn't get all the way around the behemoth's neck, but served the same effect, except for the fact that Beast Boy was getting a mouth full of fur.
Raven could hear the voice in her head, as if it was speaking into her mind. The voice was horribly familiar, thundering and cruel, and it burned her ears just at the thought.
The monster dragged Beast Boy, clinging to its throat, over to a building and began slamming it against the tall stone wall. Its tail stated curled around the titans, ensuring that they couldn't escape.
"I cannot find a way to describe it
It's there inside
All I do is hide"
"Now, little dark bird, did you forget me so soon?" It hissed, echoing inside her head.
"I wish that it would just go away
What would you do?
You do, if you knew
What would you do?
Raven's head felt as if it was on fire, as a familiar demon materialized before her. His skin was a deep red, and his hair was a ghostly white. He had black stripes tattooed on his body, giving the impression of tiger stripes, and his sharp fangs stuck from his jaw. But his most striking feature was the four, glowing, yellow, eyes glaring from his face.
Raven stared in fear at the demon, her father, Trigon.
"Are you not happy to see your father?" He mocked, grinning at her expression of fear.
"All the pain
I thought I knew
All the thoughts lead back to you
Back to what
Was never said
Back and forth
Inside my head"
"Of course, I suppose I cannot fault you." He answered to his own question, "I wouldn't like me much either. After all," he continued, "I am the source of all of your pain, all of your anger, and your beautiful rage."
"I can't handle this confusion
I'm unable
Come and take me away"
Raven simply stood in the alley, shocked and afraid, while her father spoke. Trigon was her greatest fear, the only thing that she was really afraid of. He must have come for a reason, and it couldn't have been good.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Blood dripped from Beast Boy's head. He had finally let go of the monster's neck, and now lay on the ground in human form. He could feel an eerie presence around him, and turned to the alley where Raven had been left.
Beast Boy's heart stopped. There, in front of Raven, stood Trigon. The merciless destroyer of galaxies.
But, as hard as he tried, he could not get up, and soon found himself wrapped up in the beast's tail, with his friends. It took him a while to realize where he was, but as soon as he regained his senses he began to panic.
"I feel like I'm all alone
All by myself
I need to get around this"
"Guys!" He yelled at his friends, "Trigon is over there, and Raven's all alone!"
"Trigon?" Robin asked.
"Yes Trigon!" Beast Boy yelled, "What are you, a fuckin' parrot?"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Trigon's hands glowed a bright yellow as he formed a glowing shield of energy around Raven, and carried her towards the beast. Raven tried using her powers, but the strange energy shield made them useless. The Titans faces twisted in fear as he floated towards them, a fanged grin across his face.
"Listen to me, Teen Titans, because I will make a deal with you" He began, as the Titans gulped.
"I have recently learned that my hold over my daughter will cease to exist one year from now, and this makes me more than angry." His words were seeped with anger, and Raven trembled under his gaze.
"You have two choices, Titans. Hand Raven over to me for the next year, so that she can help me in my conquest of the galaxy-"
"Are some kind of wacko?" Beast Boy screamed at him, angered by the fact that he thought he could just rent her like some kind of U-Haul.
"Or," he continued, "Her powers will destroy everyone and everything around her in a matter of months." He grinned menacingly as he finished, enjoying the sadness that had seeped into the air.
"You don't have the power to-"Beast Boy started.
"Yes," Raven interrupted sadly, "He does."
"My words are cold
I don't want them to hurt you
If I show you
I don't think you'd understand
'Cause no one understands"
"Oh," was all that he could manage to choke out. He looked up at her sadly, floating off of the ground, in Trigon's hold. He wished that he could make Trigon go away, make the world go away, so that he would never have to say goodbye to her.
"All the pain
I thought I knew
All the thoughts lead back to you
Back to what
Was never said
Back and forth inside my head
I can't handle, this confusion
I'm unable
Come and take me away"
"And," She added, "He does lose control of me in a year." Her voice picked up a small amount of happiness from the thought.
"Does that mean," He asked, his voice full of hope, "That you could feel emotion?"
"Of course," Trigon interrupted, "You can have fun with your new lover." Trigon laughed evilly. (A/N Even demon fathers are embarrassing)
The air in Raven's stronghold began to crackle with her energy, unable to release it.
"Come, little dark bird," Trigon called, "We begin our conquest now."
The Beast released its hold on the titans and bounded towards its master. Trigon carried Raven as he climbed upon its back, and she sat obediently behind him.
"I shall return her to you, Titans." Trigon hissed as the beast flew away, and they both disappeared into the horizon, as Raven gave a last glance back.

It had been three months since Raven had been taken away from him, but the emptiness inside of him never faded from his thoughts. He had seen stories on Trigon's conquest on the intergalactic news network. (A/N What? They have digital cable!) In fact, it was on right now.
"And so," the news caster began, "We bring you to another of the planets that are in total chaos from a recent Trigon killing spree. Trigon and his young accomplice, Raven, have been ravaging the galaxy for three months now, destroying every planet they come to. The death count, at immeasurable numbers."
"I'm going nowhere, on and on and
I'm getting nowhere, on and on and on
I'm going nowhere, on and on and off
And on and off and on"
The news caster then handed the microphone to a woman, obviously from the destroyed planet.
"Ma'am, could you tell us about the attack?" He asked.
"Well," she began, "Trigon was the one who killed the people, and Raven was supposed to destroy the buildings." The woman then sighed, "But she only destroyed the houses and small businesses. She purposely left the hospitals, shelters, and farms alone. She's not really all that bad, and I do feel sorry for her."
"And that's the latest on the Trigon conquest, planet Kredshon, east side of the Amula galaxy." He finished, "Back to you in the studio."
Beast Boy switched the television off, he was tired of the same old story, tired of seeing the destruction, but always felt a little bit better inside when she spared the people.
"All the pain
I thought I knew
All the thoughts lead back to you
Back to what
Was never said
Back and forth inside my head
I can't handle, this confusion
I'm unable
Come and take me away"
"She's a true hero," he said out loud, "And I miss her so much."
Starfire plopped down beside him on the couch. She had seen the news story several times herself, and was always pleased when they mentioned Raven, showing them mercy against her father's will.
"Indeed," she chided, "And we will all be most pleased when she returns."
Beast Boy got up off of the couch. He was tired of sitting, tired of waiting. He had decided a long time ago that he could not wait a year for Raven to come back, and refused to believe that that was the only way to get her back in his arms.
"But I can't wait that long!" Beast Boy screamed, more sad than angry, "Why can't we just go after her?!"
"Beast Boy," she yelled back, "There is no other way! Even if we, by some miracle, could bring her back, Trigon would simply destroy her!"
Beast Boy hung his head down in shame. "I'm sorry Star, I just-"
"I know," she interrupted, "We all do."

"Take me away
Break me away
Take me away"
And, far up in space, Raven looked down through the window of Trigon's spaceship, and sighed as her home grew smaller in the distance.
