Chapter 3: A Punishment Reserved for Later

Beast Boy stopped his crying fit and finally decided to leave his room and apologize to Raven. Of course he didn't know what to say, Raven wasn't that easy to talk to in the first place. Starfire flew into him while he was walking towards Raven's door.

"She is not to be disturbed...... She does not seem well," Starfire told him, grabbing his wrist to stop him.

"What's wrong with her?" Beast Boy asked, interested in the concern with Starfire's voice. Everything turned black and an earspiltting CRASH sounded throughout the tower. They turned around and looked at Raven's door. It opened, and Raven fell out, unconsious and smoking.

"Raven?" Starfire asked, deeply concerned for the smoking lump which was her friend. An evil laugh echoed from her room.

"Huh?" BB and Star said at the same time, looks of curiousity and fear coming from their faces. Raven woke and saw her friends staring at her.

"Go....... Now!" Raven yelled at them, pushing them back with her telekinic powers. She stood up and rubbed her sore arms.

"Naughty Naughty.... Tsk Tsk Raven." said the voice in the dark. A figure appeared, and it was Raven! Beast Boy nearly fainted at this, thinking 'this is just a dream.... this is just a dream......' The Ravens looked at each other, one sagging while the other standing in triumph.

"Can't lock me in that mind of yours forever, Raven. Want me to show you how it feels?" The Evil Raven asked. Shadow Raven (That's what I'll call her) prepared a devestating purple blob of energy to hurl at Raven.

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" Raven cried, her telekinesis powers hurling itself at the double. Shadow Raven easily dodged and let loose the energy bomb.

"Nooooooo!!!!" Beast Boy cried, changing into a tiger and slashing Shadow Raven. Raven couldn't move, she watched the energy bomb come closer, prepared for the blow to strike, then....

"You shall not have her!" Starfire stepped in front of the bomb. "Ha!" Starfire unleashed starbolts at the purple blob of energy, causing it to erupt inches in front of her face. Shadow Raven blasted Beast Boy off her. She looked at the bomb and cried out, "Noooo!!!!!"

"We are now all doomed. For that is the gateway to Raven's mind, the part which is unescapable." Starfire turned to face Raven, who was on the floor, and gave a gasp. Her friend may have been unconsious, but her ruby jewel on her forehead glowed.

"In there?" Starfire asked, quivering.

"Yes, where Raven holds her nightmares." Shadow Raven sighed. "What have I done?" 'All I wanted was for Raven to pay and now this.....' was all she could think. Another earspiltting crack boomed through the tower, and all went dark.
