Chapter 6: Nightmares Relived
A sickening thud erupted around the shadowlike world as Raven and Robin landed on the floor of Raven's mind. Robin rubbed his head painfully, but his thoughts were still on Starfire. Was she alright? Has the Nightmare taken place? He didn't think so, Raven was still alive beside him. Raven slowly arose, holding herself with great care. She gave out a cry of alarm, which was unlike her. Robin looked, and grew very anxious. There in front of them, was the nightmare demons. This could take awhile.
Meanwhile......
"We shall fight!" Blacky cried, surrounding herself in blinding energy. Beast Boy and Cyborg gasped, Starfire readied herself.
"Haaaaaaa!" Blacky let out, the energy lashing throughout the world. She glowed gold, unlike Raven's usually black. Blacky flew at Starfire, preparing a blast like a kamehameha wave on DragonBall Z. Starfire dodged get in time to miss the blast, watching it hit the ground on which they were just standing. Starfire flew higher, and struck a volley of Starbolts at Blacky. Just as Blacky blocked the starbolts Starfire fired beams out of her eyes, causing Blacky to fall. Little did Starfire know that when she hurt Blacky, Raven was affected as well.
Raven fell, holding on her chest as if it were about to burst.
"Raven, are you alright? Raven...." Robin said, running over to his friend.
"Go.... Without me.... Stop the..." Raven managed, falling to the ground.
"Raven!" Robin cried, but he knew what to do. He sprinted toward where the match was being held, seeing the volleys of starbolts in the distance.
"Starfire, nooooo!!!!" He yelled, as loud as he could. Starfire heard the echo and stopped firing starbolts. She looked down and saw Blacky slumped to the ground. She hadn't realized what she had done, it was like she was possessed. But now as she was under control she gasped, looking at the carnage.
"Are you okay, friend?" Starfire asked, floating down to Blacky.
"Uhhh...." Blacky muttered. Robin raced over, and gave Starfire a hug.
"Oh Starfire...... You're okay..." Robin sighed happily, stroking Starfire's red hair. Starfire hugged him back in appreciation, though she didn't know he couldn't breathe.
"Starfire.... Can't.. Breathe...." He managed.
"Whoops. I am sorry." Starfire replied, loosening her grip on him. Robin took some deep breaths and looked into Starfire's emerald eyes. 'She is so beautiful... I should tell her how I feel' thought Robin, getting lost in those green beauties.
"Robin? Robin, why are you staring at me so dreamily?" Starfire asked him, waving her hands in his masked eyes.
"Dude, you've been staring at her for 5 minutes!" Beast Boy told him, shaking his head. Cyborg walked over to them, carrying Raven. She was unconsious, but she was breathing, slowly. Blacky carefully lifted herself off the ground, feeling the stings on her arms. When Blacky saw Raven she gasped, she didn't know whether Raven was alive or not.
"Oh dear, the chain of us will be disrupted now. This is bad, very bad!" Blacky cried, getting very worked up.
"Dude, it's okay! She lives!" Beast Boy said, calming Blacky.
"Why is she in such bad shape?" Blacky asked Robin, giving him bizzare expressions.
"We ran into nightmare demons..... And when you got hurt, she was hit as well," Robin explained, looking over to his violet-headed friend.
"How must we get out?" Starfire asked, desperately wanting to get out of this horrible place. As if just on cue, a deep dark hole appeared beneath them, sucking them all in.
Hours later...... 8:30PM....
"Raven, are you okay?" Robin asked, as Raven began to stir. Her focus was blurred, she could just make out the figures of 5 people around her.
"Yes......" Raven replied, trying to get up but not prevailing.
"You need to rest, Raven. You were truly hurt, and I do not wish for you to injure yourelf more." Starfire told her. Raven's focus finally cleared, and she stared into Blacky's dark blue eyes.
"Raven..... I am sorry for what I've done. Please forgive my actions." Blacky said, looking down in apology.
"I forgive you." Raven said, resting her hand on Blacky's shoulder. Blacky nodded, happy that they were once again friends.
"I must go back to my world," Blacky said, "For there is nothing left."
"No! Friend, you must stay. There is something left for you! Please stay." Starfire cried, rushing over to Blacky and giving her a hug. Surprisingly Blacky could still breathe as she patted Starfire's back.
"But what is there?" Blacky asked.
"You could become a teen titan," Robin told her, looking into her eyes.
"Really?" Blacky asked, her eyes swelling in tears. She hastily wiped them away, not wanting them to show.
"Congratsulations, Blacky." Raven said, shifting herself into a sitting position. She found they were in her room, and somehow they had fixed everything. Everything was back to normal. But one thing still bugged her. "About Jessica Simpson.... Do you really like her?" Cyborg fell over by this question, struggling to control his laughter. Beast Boy held under control, though he was on the edge of laughter as well.
"Do you really want to know?" Blacky asked. Raven nodded. "I do, but about the banshee part...." Raven sighed.
"Let's just forget about it." Raven suggested. Blacky nodded in agreement. Then Raven got up and walked over to Beast Boy. He gulped, for it was still Raven's birthday.
"About that punishment..." She started.
"Please Raven..." Beast Boy plead.
"I decided to forgive and forget.... But it is also a warning. Don't do it again." Raven said.
"May I know what the punishment was going to be?" Beast Boy asked out of interest.
"I was going to change your personality, so you wouldn't be telling corny jokes all the time. The surgery would of been devestatingly long though...." Raven replied. Beast Boy gulped and ran out of the room.
And so that is the end of Raven's birthday. The Titans successfully, in the end, stayed quiet while she read from The Book of Azar happily, in peace.
The End.......
So how did you like my story? I know this chapter was probably the weirdest, and the titans talked alot in this chapter, but it was still worth reading, right? Comments would be appreciated thanks
