P.S. Something happens to Raven in this chapter.
Change-Of-Heart2: Thanks for passin the info on...yeah go Carl! You couldn't stop reading for anything? What did you have to use the bathroom half way and just ignored it until you finished?Kiddin, glad you liked the last chapter that much. Well thanks for the review and I hope you enjoy!
Dannysckr: Wow you must like this story...Yeah Draken is a good master but if you notice from a few chapters ago he said Garm is his fathers pet. And guess who his father is. Drakens attration to Ryoko becomes very apparent in the chapter. Just as a note Raven didn't cower, her mind was just on the fritz because Beast Boy didn't recognize her. Well thanks for the review and I hope you enjoy!
warprince2000: Thanks for the review and i hope you enjoy!
BB'sTheBest: Oh boy long review...Sorry wasn't trying to squash your sugestion its just odd to call a dog from hell Ginger Snap...however, that would have made one hell of a joke. Yeah you kinda hit the nail on the head just a little off though. The demons name is just Draken but Draken Apocalypse is a good name...might have to steal it. Well Drakens intentions with Ryoko and Beast Boy are shown here in this chapter. Once again the plot bunnies died on me so it might be a bit of time before I come up with the rest...Well thanks for the review and I hope you enjoy! KEEP THE FAITH!

"Talking"
'Thinking'
Wolf and Raven both had sleepless nights the evening after Draken served them their defeat and in the process, they both lost the ones they loved.
The following day went as followed, wake up, eat very little, search the city until dusk then keep looking until midnight when you pass out mid search. Raven fell asleep in mid flight and Wolf who was running below caught her.
Wolf shook his head and called the Titans to pick her up. Himself being a genetic experiment meant for military purposes he was equipped with DNA that allows him to stay awake for long periods without rest but everyone has their breaking point.
Wolf too soon felt woozy as the rest of the Titans picked up Raven. Wolf thought it was a good idea to retreat to Titans Tower for rest and regrouping.
BB...
Draken also had quite an eventful day. He tried to initiate the apocalypse but he noticed something that was very important to his mission was absent. He felt his forehead and found the three symbols however, one of them was scratched into something different. "Damn. That idiot Slade must have damaged the crystal..." Draken thought angrily as he looked for something to take his anger out on. His eyes fell upon Beast Boy and he served BB a few good hits to the head knocking him down.
This is when Ryoko woke up tied to a wall. She looked around very disoriented until she finally locked eyes with Draken. "You! Let me go!" She yelled. Draken began to chuckle as he said, "Ah you sleep so deeply that one might mistake it for hibernation."
Beast Boy stood up from his recent punishment and Ryoko looked at him saying, "Beast Boy help me get out of here!" Beast Boy scowled and said, "Listen to the master fire starter!" Ryoko was stunned and then remembered he was under Drakens control. Ryoko felt some hope of being rescued slip away but she came up with a plan to be used later.
"Now where am I going to find someone to imprint ink into my skin so they could fix this minor obstruction?" Draken thought aloud as he rubbed his chin in thought. "Sir if I may speak..." Beast Boy said as he faced Draken in a salute. "Proceed Beast Boy." Draken said actually interested to hear what the hypnotized changeling had to say.
"Sir there is a tattoo parlor down the street from here I suggest that we go there and have the three symbols fixed." Beast boy said with confidence. "Ok but one thing Beast Boy...I ONLY NEED ONE FIXED!" Draken yelled as he walked in the direction of the tattoo parlor. "Hey wait what are you going to do with me?" Ryoko shouted from her spot of being tied to the wall.
"Oh you? I was thinking of making you my bride..." Draken said with a devious grin on his face. Ryokos eyes grew wide and she began to thrash violently with her bonds. Draken laughed at her struggling and he said, "Beast Boy watch her, I have to get this repaired." Draken pointed to his third alternated symbol as he left...
Titans...
Wolf looked from the top of Titans Tower at the scenery before him. He saw the midnight air dance with the smoky condensation of his breath. He thought of Ryoko and how he would get her back but it would all depend on retrieving his long lost ancient power...whatever the hell that was. "Now if I was me thousands of years ago where would I put that power?" Wolf asked himself trying to lighten his mood.
"It is better if you consult a psychic for that kind of thing...," a voice behind him said. He turned sharply to find Raven, wide-awake, standing behind him. "Why do you say that?" Wolf asked as Raven responded by saying, "Your mind is to little to be left to yourself."
Wolf glared at Raven and he said, "What about you? He thrashed you too." Raven had a scowl grace her face and she said, "I know that..." Suddenly a gigantic meteor tore past Titans Tower nearly destroying it in the process.
"What the hell was that?" Wolf shouted as he saw the meteor head toward the hills. "I don't know but if it hits..." Raven said as Wolf and herself came to the conclusion that it would destroy the city.
"Lets get out of her and stop that thing!" Wolf shouted as Raven and himself left the Tower via Ravens powers. "Guys wake up! There's a meteor that's about to destroy the city!" Wolf shouted in the communicator as the other Titans said they would be there shortly...
BB...
"Beast Boy, why do you follow him?" Ryoko asked from her chained position on the wall. Beast Boy snorted and said, "What's it to you pyromaniac." "I want to know, he treats you like something he fished out of the sewer but you still follow him." Ryoko said with a caring tone. Beast Boys demeanor had calmed greatly since when Ryoko first woken and now he seemed a little more talkative. "I...I don't know...I mean it just feels like I have to follow him. Like I don't have a choice...and even if I wanted to leave he would probably kill me in the process." Beast Boy said as he slumped against the wall next to Ryoko. "Beast Boy...do you remember Raven?" Ryoko asked with a worried tone to her voice.
Beast Boy stayed incredibly silent for a few minutes. The silence penetrated the air like a steel sword cutting into a cardboard shield until he responded by saying, "Bit and pieces...but I feel like I should know her more than that. I feel like I should know everything about Raven and the other people Master Draken and Garm were fighting." Beast Boy took a breath and started talking again.
"When we were fighting, I knew deep inside that my dragon breath would have no effect on you but I did it anyway and my idea was proven when you just ate the fire. But with Raven...I feel that something is deeper. Something buried in the darkest parts of my mind, but I cant remember anything..."
Beast Boy smiled, shrugged, and added an after thought, "Well at least I get a reward after I obey Master Draken." "What's that?" Ryoko asked confused. "He said I could get my memory back...He said that he will be the only one that can do that." Beast boy said with a sigh...
Titans...
Raven and Wolf naturally were the first ones to reach the scene and Raven used her powers to attempt to hold the meteor from hitting earth or at the least try to slow it down. Wolf was using his fathers attack several times to continually chip away at the meteor. However, no mater how hard they tried the meteor was constantly coming at nearly the same speed it had originally.They continued their futile attempts until the rest of the Titans joined them. "Took you guys long enough!" Wolf shouted as Starfire and Cyborg shot the meteor with their respective weapons/powers. Robin threw several of his explosion disks to assist Starfire, Cyborg, and Wolf in reducing the meteor to rubble.
Eventually the meteor made contact with the earth but thanks to the Titans, it had slowed enough to only make a small impact in the ground. It had also reduced in size greatly from the size of a building to about the size of a loveseat.
BB...
"So he's making you be his slave by telling you that he'll give you your memories back?" Ryoko asked with wide eyes surprised and detested at Drakens audacity. Beast Boy nodded and said, "Yeah but it's worth it...I'd kill to know more about Raven..." Beast Boy lowered his head and said, "And I think that is exactly what I'll have to do..."Ryoko felt fear pool in the deepest pit of her stomach and asked frantically, "What do you mean?" Beast Boy looked up at her with sad eyes and said, "Master Draken said that it is his mission to cause the apocalypse so I have to assist him..."
Titans...
The Titans walked up to the burning hunk of space rock but something was different about this rock. "Hey what's that?" Cyborg said as he pointed to a single rock encrusted point that protruded from the meteor. Wolf quirked an eyebrow and he tried to slice through it with his sword but halfway through he hit a metal with a loud clang causing his sword to jump back from the meteor.
Determined he flipped the meteor so the point was on the ground and Wolf drew his sword back behind his head. He brought it forward with all the force he could muster. It seemed like the sword made a clean cut through the point however, Wolf looked at his sword and saw that half of it was missing whereas the point stayed where it was.
It had been cleaved about halfway down and his eyes practically burst out of his head. '"How...uh...WHAT THE HELL IS THIS THING?" Wolf shouted angry over the loss of his sword. "Allow me..." Cyborg said as he aimed his sonic cannon at the rock firing it when he had it lined up perfectly.
The smoke cleared to reveal absolutely nothing had happened. Starfire tried to blast it open with her Starbolts but that did no good. Robin also attempted to use his gadgets but all fell to the power of the odd meteor core...
BB...
"WHAT?" Ryoko shouted in response. Beast boy nodded his head and said, "Nothing personal you see...just business. At least that's what Master Draken says..." Ryoko glared at Beast Boy and said, "You'd kill, and even die for your memories back?" Beast Boy turned his face away and said, "I don't want to..." Beast Boy snapped his head back and shouted, "But if I have to I will!"
Titans...
"Let me try." Raven said as she muttered her three favorite words causing the meteor to be encased in a black aura. A few moments later, the meteor exploded into several thousand pieces from Ravens powers. All the Titans applauded her good work then they turned their attention back to the destroyed meteor. In the spot where the meteor had landed, a handle of a sword lay on the ground along with a scroll. Beside the scroll, there was a simple clear orb.Wolf was about to touch the scroll but suddenly a bolt of pure white electricity sprang from the scroll and it hit Wolf dead on. The scroll, being the source of the white energy, gradually dissipated with the continued use of the energy. The blazing white energy was soon absorbed into Wolfs' body.
He shook and spasmed with the energy but he soon sat on his hands and knees panting heavily gaining his bearings. "Wolf are you undamaged?" Starfire asked as Wolf stood...
BB...
"So that's it...even if it kills thousands you will help this psychotic demon create Armageddon." Ryoko said with an angered tone. Beast Boy glared and said, "I already told you to shut up didn't I?" Ryoko scoffed at him and continued with, "You know you have your own mind...sort of, and you can go against him." Beast Boy turned away from her and said, "How? He is more powerful than all of us, anyone on the planet can face him but all will die." Ryoko grinned and began to tell Beast Boy her plan.
Beast Boy looked skeptically at her but said, "What the hell." Suddenly Draken burst in with a large white bandage on his forehead. "Damn tatooist...well he will have a nice stay in hell. Beast Boy how is my future wife?" Draken said rubbing his forehead lightly. Beast Boy put on a cold and dark face and said, "Good sir...very good."
Draken grinned and said, "You are losing your mind more and more with each passing hour Beast Boy...you are becoming the perfect pupil." "Thank you sir it is an honor." Beast Boy said with a devious grin, "And might I add that the pyro here is going to attempt an escape the second she has a chance." Beast Boy said giving away, Ryokos escape plan.
Titans...
Wolf looked at the Titans with eyes that held a deeper understanding in them. Something that told everyone he knew what was going on and how to remedy it. Wolf kneeled down and retrieved the crystal orb holding it in his hands momentarily as he closed his eyes in thought. His eyes snapped open and he glanced down at the orb then at Raven.
"Raven catch." Wolf said as he threw the crystal orb at Raven. It hit her hands softly and she held it for a few moments. Suddenly white electricity burst from the ball and it soon covered Raven in its power. "Raven!" all the Titans except Wolf yelled as the white energy swallowed up their friend.
BB...
Ryoko was stunned that she had just been sold out like that...was it all a lie, just a ploy to get her to reveal and escape plan. Beast Boy turned to her with a sick sadistic smile but it lessened and his eyes went from devious to apologetic. 'He meant it every word...he must have another idea.' Ryoko thought as Draken stomped over to her. "Escape huh? Well I'll just have to teach you some manors!" Draken yelled as he hit Ryoko with the back of his hand knocking her out.
Titans...
The moment Raven was entirely submerged in the white electrical energy a bright flash erupted. As the light subsided, Raven stood for a moment then she fainted from the excess of power. As Raven fell it became apparent that she was without the crystal sphere.
Cyborg caught her and, looking at Wolf, he said, "What is up with you man? Are you trying to kill us or something?" Wolf glared at Cyborg and said, "No I am saving you now come we must prepare for Draken..." Wolf picked up the handle of the sword and he led the Titans back to Titans tower. "What are you up to?" Robin asked confused slightly.
"That scroll was a message...it gave me bit of information on Draken and myself. I now know how to reseal him but it's not enough...we need to destroy him!" Wolf said angrily. "Dude we are here for you. We are your friends. Tell us wheat we need to do to help you and we will." Cyborg said as they arrived at the T-SUV.
Wolf sighed and said, "Ok but I warn you when Raven wakes up she might be a bit angry so you might want to leave her with me so I can explain exactly what happened..." Wolf then proceeded to tell the Titans everything needed to seal Draken and everyone went off to find said items.
BB...
Beast Boy sat on the shore of the bay and he looked out at the ocean. Images of himself and the Titans, especially Raven flashed in his mind. Raven was pouring herself a cup of tea and Beast Boy stood behind her saying, 'Com-on Raven wakey, wakey tofu eggs and bakey...' Beast Boy saw the scene flash in his mind but he shook his head. "How come I can only remember parts of my life?"Beast Boy looked out into the ocean and another scene played in his mind. Raven sat on the ground next to him and he said 'I thought you didn't like me...' Beast Boy growled and said, "Why do these keep playing in my head!"
Beast Boy settled down and said to himself after a little more thought, "Ok I'll do it. I'll go against Draken and help those strangers...hopefully together we can stop him. And maybe I'll get my memories back too..." Beast Boy stood with a look of determinations on his face as he thought of a plan.
Titans...
Raven woke in the early morning hours of the day and she saw that she was in her room, on her bed to be more specific. "How did I get here...and why do I have a splitting headache?" Raven said as her head throbbed with every pulsation of her heart. "Its because you have full control of your power." A voice said from the darkest corner of her room. Raven caught them in her black aura and said, "Wolf if you don't get out of my room this second...wait did you say full control?" Raven released her hold on Wolf.
"Yes full control. That orb was a ball of pure energy that granted what you wanted most, well next to Beast Boy. A gift from him." Wolf said as he pointed his thumb up. "And what if I don't believe in a 'Him'?" Raven said with a cold attitude.
Wolf shrugged and said, "Believe whatever you wish but all I'm saying is that now you have full control. You can show emotions without fear of destroying anything and now that you do have full control you are probably more powerful than you have ever been. Congratulations..." Wolf said as he left the room.
"When we get Beast Boy back he will be thrilled..." Wolf added as an after thought as he disappeared in a flash of gold and silver. Wolf thought to himself after he left, 'That is if he ever remembers us...'
"Full control..." Raven said in awe, as she looked at her hands in almost disbelief her headache long gone. Raven grinned and thought, "Time to kill a certain apocalyptic demon..." Raven quickly took a shower and changed her clothes.
She headed down to the living room finding that the only one there was Wolf. He sat at the counter with a glass of water in one hand and a fork full of steak in the other. "Figures..." Raven said as she started to prepare herself some tea.
"Where is everyone?" Raven asked. "Getting ingredients to seal Draken away for good." Wolf said with a mouthful of steak. "O...kay how do you know what to do to seal him?" Raven asked quirking an eyebrow. "That scroll was a message that told me some information about Draken and myself."
Raven nodded quickly losing interest. Raven remembered something that had sparked her curiosity before and she asked, "Wolf what is with the scars on yours and Ryokos necks?" Wolf swallowed the steak and sighed. "Well you see the thing about that is...we don't know." Wolf said with a stupid grin. Raven gave him a dry look and said, "What?"
Wolf nodded and said, "Well one night we were one the roof and well we were kissing and so forth, skipping ahead we went to our room and then every thing went a blur. When we woke up, we found the scars on our necks. What is weird is that the scars match the others teeth. Like my scar matches her smaller and more delicate fangs while hers matches my large and crude canines. They even match up, see if we stand facing each other and put out heads on each other's shoulders the scars match up with our mouths. It's weird..." Wolf said explaining everything.
Raven confused by this asked, "Have either of you come up with a reason for this?" Wolf nodded and said, "We just chalked it up to another thing we inherited from out animal counter parts." Wolf grinned adding, "You know like how a dog marks a tree we mark our mates."
Raven nodded just for the sake of stopping him not knowing and not wanting to know where this was all going. "So are you ready?" Wolf asked. Raven quirked an eyebrow in a classic, 'ready for what' pose. "You know to kick Drakens butt." Wolf said elaborating.
Raven grinned and said, "Yeah what about you?" Wolf grinned back and said, "Yeah and I think this might be a key factor." Wolf held up the sword handle to a confused Raven. "What does an old sword handle have to do with stopping the apocalypse?"
"You will see in due time but now let us plan for our victory." Wolf said as Raven and himself plotted to get their lovers back from the uncontrolled apocalypse fiend known as Draken.
BB...
Beast Boy woke while the sun was rising and he saw that Draken was gone for some unknown reason. "Probably to cause some chaos." Beast Boy said to himself.. He looked over to find Ryoko still chained to the wall fast asleep. Beast Boy shook his head and he decided to go out to the shore to see what the sunrise looked like.When he arrived he found it was beautiful as the orange, gold, blue, red, and pink of the sky mixed together to form a masterpiece that only nature could create. Suddenly a small scene began to play in Beast Boys mind.
It was himself and the girl called Raven both of them lying underneath a cloak on the top of a building. It was morning and the sun was just beginning to rise as the two began to stir. Raven was nuzzled up against Beast Boy while he looked down at her beautiful form.
"Morning..." He said as he saw her stir. "Morning..." She replied back as she stared into his green eyes and himself looking into her lilac orbs. "We really should be getting back inside. They might suspect something..." Raven said lowering her head and burrowing further into his body making no further indications of moving.
"Be all dark and gothic and they will be too terrified to say anything...it's worked before hasn't it?" Beast Boy said with a smile as they both began to settle back together.
The images stopped dancing in Beast Boys head as he looked out at the bay in awe. "I want that back...and I will get it." Beast Boy whispered to himself clenching his fist. "Draken is going down..." Beast Boy finished with a smile as he saw the sun rise farther and farther over the bay.
He knew that it wasn't a certainty that he was going to survive this but hell it would be worth it for Raven. Beast Boys dark side began to melt away as he watched the sunrise and it was replaced by the old Beast Boy. However, one thing was missing...his memories.
Well how was that? I had the weirdest time writing this. I keep getting stuck and I kinda got lost writing the meteor crash scene. Well I think that it turned out quite well don't you? Anyway hope you enjoyed, Cyah!
