Star Ocean: Till the end of time is awesome! Best game yet (Except the story is too short) Which explains me not touching the computer for many days. (That, and school.) This week's episode was awesome, especially the fight scene. The only jit I have is...what's with the dove? There was a dove when they both aerial kicked. Was that just me?

Okay, enough hype. I don't own Teen Titans. [Looks around for laywers] Whew! Close one.

Johny Cochran: Get him!

Crap!


"Miss me, guys?"

The figure before them stood proudly with a golden smile that could match the sun. All were stunned, but Beast Boy was the most estatic. "Terra! You're-but-I-" He gripped on the cracking stone eye, once thought to be her. "We thought you were-"

"We thought you were gone." Hexe finished.

Terra looked at her happily. "Yeah, thought so too but here I am!" Her hands shot up a little, enough to rumble the ground. "Funny thing though; The only thing I remember was that Slade fell off the cliff and I told you guys to leave. Now I'm here, fine and all, and the underground area is normal. Care to explain?"

"Er..." Robin was the second to come to terms with Terra's re-awaking. "You see...we did leave you like you told us. When we came back, you were turned to stone. I guess it was because your powers overloaded you."

"Okay, but how did I get out?"

"Um, guys?" Cyborg called out. "I think I figured it out." In his hand was a part of her old stone self, placed over his anaylzer. "It seems the geometric rock was a substance of thermal cavity resulted by a volcanic reaction of the sub-par molecular structure. All we had to do was pressure each individual atom to a 43.5 marine level and stabalize her celluar form."

Beast Boy blinked. Hard. "Do you come with a seperate dub or at least subtitles?"

"What I mean is that all we had to do was crack the rock surface open, like a hard-boiled egg."

Another hard blink came. An uncomfortable silence came since this recent discovery. "You mean...WE COULD'VE JUST SAVED HER TWO WEEKS AGO?!" the green one shouted. [No, not Yoda.]

"Who cares?" Terra said. "As long as I'm here, who cares about the past actions. I mean...if you guys still think of me as a friend." Her face still showed some hints of scars that she inflicted on them, and the torn neuro-suit that was still on her body.

The most unexpected person responded. "You had too much to deal with. That just means you have a dark past like us. And that's a requirement to be a Titan." She smiled.

Robin's brain just stopped. Not one, but TWO impossible things happened: Raven was nice to Terra...and beamed happily. "Wha...wha...what just happened here? Did...did the rocks fall on me or something?"

"No, but they fell on her." Hexe pointed to the dizzied Kitty, whom they forgotten for the moment. Quickly, Robin went over to her while trying to remember Batman's tecnique. His face was full of rage as he closed in on her. "Kitty...was it?"

She didn't see the anger for some reason. "Oh, hi Roby-poo! It's been a long time!"

In his head, the world crashed down hard. 'This is crazy! I bet Bruce never gets called 'poo'! This is so humilating!"

===Tower 1===

"Hey, Brucey-poo!"

Batman spit his slushie. "Diana?!"

===Back on Earth===

The boy wonder stepped back a little to regain his composure. "So, Kitty. What were you planning to do here? Make an Earthquake? Start a lava flood? Seperate this state from the others, causing destruction of over millions of people?"

"Ban hotdogs?" Everyone glared at Beast Boy meanly. "I'll shut up now."

However, Kitty gave an unexpected answer. "How should I know?! I was just told to be here!"

"What? Just told here? Who?" he snapped back.

She rolled her eyes. "How should I know? This guy just gave me tons of stuff just to be here with all these minions. Said I have to look very evil looking. Also, he said he was an 'Azerael.' and just left."

"What did you say?! An Azerael?" Raven outbursted. "But...that can't be!"

"Raven? Is there a problem? What is a 'Azerael?' thing?" Starfire asked.

She dropped suddenly on her knees at the second mention of the word. "Azeraels are supposed to be extinct. When one is around, my powers don't work. No one of my race does. They are our anti; our other half of the race."

"But are they really that strong?" Cy asked. "How'd they get wiped out anyway?"

Raven eyes went dark as she tried to remember the history of the Azeraels. "About 524 years ago, my people and the Azeraels lived on two seperate but close worlds. We didn't have any contact with them, since being together nullied our powers as well as them. Two years later however, they recieved advanced weaponary from another to attack us and took down a third of us. We managed to develop special barrier devices so our powers could work but...it killed the person wearing them. Still, many still used it to fight."

She looks up to th ceiling, while her eyes trembled of the thought. "After the war, my people that escaped before the battles started became the only survivors and the Azeraels were supposed to be extinct. I don't know what or how this one is still alive, but one Azerael is enough to wipe out this city given enough time."

"That powerful?! Jeez, what kind of power does this dude have?!"

"Why don't I show you for your own eyes?"

The seven looked up at the once-thought empty darkness to see a mysterious figure floating down. His body was covered by folded black wings and all that showed were glowing yellow eyes and a robe similiar to Raven's. The omnious blackness that he donned made Raven look pink.

"An Azerael! Robin, that's an Azerael!"

It laughed mockingly at the words. "How nice that after 500 years someone recognizes the superior race. Especially one of your kind, Raven."

"How do you know my name?!" she injected.

"Oh, there is little I don't know about you...or for any of your friends. After all, you did defeat one of my more...elaborate spies."

"...Slade. He was your pawn, wasn't he?"

"Hahahah! Of course he was, but he didn't want to admit so a quest of an apprentice to stop me was the only thing he could do. It would've been most interesting to fight you Robin, or you Terra but unfortunetly this will have to do." His wings opened, suddenly glowing brighted than anything else seen. The robe became golden white as well as his eyes. "I'm the most friendliest Angel of Death you'll ever seen."

Of all this, Robin smirked confidently. "Oh, I don't think so. I got a few friends that want to talk to you." He reached for his belt and said, "TITANS! MOVE OUT!!"

Immediatly, a barrage of arrows came straight at the Azerael's wings only blocked off easily. Following that were waves of water shooting just below him. Then heat came as soon as he dodged that, almost scorching him. "Wha? An ambust?!"

"Oh, yeah. I got a little tip that someone powerful was coming, so I dispatched the entire north and east wing at you." Behind him, dozens of new Titans appeared from the rocks at the declaration. Speedy readied another barrage, while AquaLad stood proud on his wave stream. "Titans....ATTACK FORMATION!!"

A blast of water, heat, arrows, ionic ammo, starbolts, and other powers joined together straight at him causing a massive explosion. "Titans! Move in!" All ran at the smoking figure, Robin making the first strike with his pole. The slightly shaken figure side-floated the blow, but was met with a large piece of rock. Before he could brush it off, Robin got a second wind and charged again.

"Pathetic." He grunted while taking Robin's pole. "This is Earth's best defenses?! I don't care who gave you that tip. You're not gonna defeat me with such mediocre attacks like this."

"Then how about someone on your level?"

"What?!" The Azerael looked around to pinpoint the source of the voice. "Who was that?"

"Me." Another figure flew at him, appearing behind the Azerael. "Hello again, Death."

He turned around. "Life...so it's you again. How...nice it is."

The figure he was talking to was none other than...Ikari. "Yes, it is. You are supposed to be back to the cursed space that you once lived. Why are you still on this planet?"

"Hmph! I could ask you the same thing." Death brandished a wing sword to strike him, only to be blocked by Ikari's katana. All the Titans watched the aerial battle fiercely as they prayed the good will win. Suddenly, Cyborg got an idea.

"Hey, Hexe?"

The girl was starltled a little by his tap. "Er, yeah?"

"Your powers go on mental stabalization, right? Kinda like Raven's, except directly to the mind."

"Um, yeah they do. My waves decompose the core of an object, which would be the brain in a person's case."

"Great, cause I figure this guy can block only physical attacks. If you can get a good shot, then..."

"Got it." Quickly, she ran over to Starfire and asked to her to fly them closer to the conflict. Meanwhile, the two fighters seem to have an interesting conversation.

"Why do you keep on interfering with my work?!"

"I could ask the same thing about you and Slade. You were more equal in power than ever before, which meant rebellion. You let him to his doom, instead of helping. That was a costly mistake.

"So you say, but I don' need a weakling like him. The only person that could even close to match me is..."

"Yes I know." More blows were dealt. "But I'm afraid today you will lose to another."

"What?!"

"Confusion Psywave!" A blast of indigo shot at his head, making him cringe on his head. A scream of agony came soon after, before he floated up through the rocks.

"Darn you, Life. You stupid thing always side with the Earth, yet you never do anything else. I get you next time, as I have before in the past!" He shouted this declaration before he went out of sight.

Cheers and roars came all around as all the Titans were relieved of this victory. However Robin, Raven, and Ikari were somber at this turn of events.

"Robin, I think we need more Titans."

"You're right, Ikari. Maybe also Raven can ask her people for help."

She nodded. "I'll see what I can do. You do know this will most likely become a war between us."

"I understand, but as a Titan I have no choice. The Unlimited can't help us, so we have to do this alone."

"Then it's settled. The war begins..." Ikari finished.

Robin and Raven agreed. "The war begins..."


Okay, like I said not exactly a romance thing. Hope this makes things up for my absence. Review.....!
