Chapter II: Shadows Emerged

The titan alert went off. Lights flashed red. "HEY! Raven! Plasmus is on the run again!" Raven heard Terra yelled through the intercom. Raven sighed and quickly levitated out of her room and followed her fellow teammates.

Cyborg broke down the door of the Pier 114. Plasmus was throwing numeral toxic wastes at them. Raven put up her shield. Terra followed by shaking the earth at Plasmus' feet. Star then threw a barricade of Starbolts followed closely by Robin who pulled out his Bo staff.

"Titans! Split up!"

The Titans did as what they were told. Raven looked behind her. Plasmus-most of Plasmus anyway- was following her. He was catching up on her fast. Raven sped up a little only to be blocked by a dead end.

Raven looked back. Plasmus looked liked worms reaching out to her. Raven's eyes widened as images flashed in front of her. Plasmus was reaching out to her feet.

Raven covered her ears with her hands. Her eyes showed signs of fear- [A/n: I know that Raven doesn't do fear, but with a past like hers, it's traumatizing enough for anyone.]- She trembled from head to foot.

Flash Back

A ten-year-old Raven sat in the dark corner, edging away from those hands reaching out to her from the ground. Her eyes showed that she frightened- [A/n: Yeah right...]- "Unegai! Yamete kudasai! [Please! Stop it please!]" You can hear her pleas echoing throughout the sealed room.

The man grinned behind the darkness of the hood. "Mayou-kyo? [Sir Mayou?]" Asked another man wearing a hood. The Mizotarhian known as Mayou replied serenely. "Continue. With this, we shall control the ruler of the Underworld, Hell!" He added gleefully.

The other Mizotarhian nodded and proceeded chanting. "Aku Mayouko Kiada Kaeyd Kikor Ame... Kaze Kami Yami Shoujo no Kami..."- [M/n: I just made up some of the syllables, it's supposed to be Mizotarhian though there are some Japanese in it.]

Hands made out of shadows reached slowly towards her. Raven screamed. Lights blew. Wind gushed. Thunder screeched and the windows shattered. A demon erupted from the ground. Raven screamed once more. He had four glowing red eyes. It was Trigon.

Trigon smirked a demonic smirk. He reached out towards his daughter. Yes- his daughter. The princess of darkness. The Heir of the throne in the Underworld, Hell. The Yami no Shoujo or Maiden of Darkness.

Raven screamed once more and flames engulfed Trigon, he disappeared but not before Raven heard what he said. "No matter how much you run, you hide, I will someday own you..." Raven closed her eyes and a soft, childish, comforting voice said. "He will never own you... watashi wa anata mamori mas... [I will always protect you...]"

End of Flash Back

Robin met up with others. "Everybody okay?" he asked them. "Dude!" BB piped up, "We can't find Raven!" Starfire looked worried. "Robin, perhaps you have seen her?" Star said, trying to stay calm.

"Plasmus couldn't have got her, can he?" Terra asked worriedly. "Nah... he can't. " Cy replied but not truly convincing though. They heard a scream. "Raven!" Robin yelled. "Oh dear! Friend Raven!" cried Starfire as she dashed out of the group following Raven's cries. The others followed her quickly. "Raven! Where are you! Friend Raven, can you hear us?!?!" Starfire called.

The screaming continued. The titans searched even more frantically. "Raven! If this is a joke, it ain't funny!!!" Beast Boy yelled. "Raven isn't the type of person who jokes, BB." Terra frantically replied.

After a few more minutes of searching, Cyborg yelled, "Hey guys! Get your butts down here and hurry!"

They found Raven in a corner. Her hands clasped onto her ears, screaming. Plasmus was in front of her. He was surrounded by a black aura, levitating in midair, it was torture, even for a villain.

Robin dashed out to Raven. "Hey! Raven! Snap out of it!" He yelled. The others followed him. Starfire knelt beside Raven, to find her scared half to death. Robin began shaking her.

Raven was out cold. Everything stopped at once. Plasmus fell to the ground, constantly asleep. "What's going on here?" Terra finally broke the horrific silence between them. "I do not know, but this is very strange indeed." Starfire said.

"I agree." Cy agreed. Because this wasn't the first time that something strange happened to Raven lately. She couldn't meditate for instance, she would be dazed out for long periods of time and she always stayed alone in her room more frequently than usual.

BB remained silent until something caught his eye. "Hey, dudes, what's that?" he pointed at something grasped in Raven's hand. It was an inscription in her hand. An orb of some kind hung in the middle and four red eyes glowed inside of it, not to mention a bat wing...

"Something tells me, that something strange gonna happen..."

Mist: I'll be a little late of updating because of writer's block and the exams are coming up so gomen nasai.
