Hmm, this chapter involves a fighting scene... I'm not sure how good I am at fighting scenes; you'll just have to tell me what you think of it. Hope you like it... Unfortunately... my fanfic is going to have to end after 3 more chapters... (Winces) hate to end it, now with so many reviews...
CloudsHalo: Yeah, I just realized that's way true! All my fav characters get... hurt in some way, big or small... Had to make Valor do that... Timid is so fun to do, she has an interesting part in chapter 13... heh. Thanx, glad you think I'm good at action scenes, well, this chapter has a lot as you'll see...
Mew-xena: Haha, thanx! He I can make the Titans be stupid b/c it's not as about the others as much as it is about Raven... Glad to see your... strong opinions... ï
GreenEagle: Hmm, they won't in this fanfic, but that's hard to imagine... how can you express anything without emotions? It'd be creepy...
Chapter 12: Daddy's Little Girl
Raven's flaming red eyes stared emotionlessly into the Titans faces. The tornado of her power ceased to destroy, disappearing into a wisp of smoke. Raven stopped creating huge crevices in the city, and floated down to the ground. She stared up, face impassive other than the obvious hatred. "What's the matter? Afraid?" She asked slowly, glowering up at the Titans.
"Never!" Valor instantly flew to the ground in a dark green streak, facing Raven with a confident grin on her face. "Yo, four eyes! C'mon Raven... You don't really want ta fight yourself, do you?"
Raven stared at her with hatred. "You're not me."
More screams echoed in Robin's ears, screams of people, needing help. Torn between helping them or facing Raven... He had Starfire drop him to the ground, facing Raven as well. Her burning eyes looked through him, or maybe just behind him...
He turned around. "Oh... no..."
Trigon. The father of Raven was standing behind him, a sort of smile on his face. That was why Raven came, Robin realized, too late. Red eyebeams shot down, shattering the ground, as Robin ran for shelter.
Pausing well away from the demon, Robin hesitated. Save the people... Or Raven? He wondered. Raven... I have to stop her first.
Recovering his breath, Raven shouted to his slightly larger team. "Titans! Go for Raven! Uh... Ravens! Go! Get! Trigon!" They immediately obeyed.
Three Ravens flew over to Trigon, Valor in the lead. "Awight! Let's do this!" She served as a perfect leader for the Ravens.
"'Kay!" Happy agreeably answered. She came up beside Green Raven. She gave a small smile. Her joyful nature didn't leave any room for fear, and she stared up at Trigon, an innocent, and rather empty stare.
"I... don't like violence..." Mumbled Intelligence, reluctantly coming up to meet with the others. "But... for Raven's sake..." Black energy formed around her hands. In the meantime, Timid lagged behind, terrified.
"You dare defy me?" growled Trigon, red energy blazing around his eyes.
"Why not?" Green Raven answered swiftly, floating into the air, she dramatically thrust her hand into the air. "Sooo... RAVENS GO!!"
Meanwhile, with the Titans...
They had her surrounded, each of them prepared to attack. Truthfully, each one of them didn't want to attack. Fighting a teammate seemed just... wrong. Moreover, a friend. But in fact, Raven seemed to not be attacking. Her red eyes watched her former friends, but made to noticeable moves.
Starfire flew closer Raven. I don't want to do this, she told herself. It hurt her to see her friend not acting like Raven anymore. She wasn't Raven. But they had to win... for all of their sakes. Including the people of the city, many who were probably killed. Why is she not attacking?... Starfire had time to wonder, before her eyes snapped back to Raven.
In a flash of red, Raven disappeared into the ground. "Huh?" Beast Boy had time to groan, but in a flash, Raven materialized up from the ground again, right next to Starfire. Starfire squeaked with surprise, and red power blazed from Raven, hitting Starfire squarely, and sending her to the ground.
"Correction. I am the way I was meant to be, not Raven." Raven answered Starfire's unspoken question, having read her mind. Full of Trigon's power, she turned to face the boys as they ran to attack her. Beast Boy charged as a tiger.
"Good luck attacking what isn't there." Raven vanished into the earth again, leaving Beast Boy looking stupid. In less than a second, Raven reappeared behind him. As he turned, the demongirl vanished one last time, returning behind Beast Boy to finally attack.
Dodging her power, Beast Boy changed to a hawk, then again as a T-rex. The ground ripped open underneath him, creating a blood red chasm. Before Beast Boy could fly away, a huge red claw materialized from the pit, grabbing Beast Boy and dragging him in.
Raven paused, sensing Cyborg behind her, ready to blast her with his cannon. Annoyed, she whirled around to face him, her dark blood-red cloak whipping around. Surprised, he managed to screech to a stop before Raven was on him, attacking viciously. Her angry red power started to burn his robotic body. Forcing him backwards, Raven glowered into his one red, one dark blue eye. In a thrust of power, he was flung away from her.
Before she could go to finish him off, Robin leapt towards her, lashing a kick towards her. A red shield was thrown up, and Raven stared at him with disgust. Him again. Thrusting the shield away, lashes of crimson energy slashed past Robin, slicing into his cape. Robin withdrew, and then began his series of attacks again.
Dodging each, Raven glowered at him with a look of the deepest disgust. Wasn't I about to kill him before my father called? That was all the reasoning she needed to destroy him. Filled with hatred and malice, Raven slowly drove him backwards
Meanwhile, the Raven's were attacking. Valor was clearly the only one worth anything. She directly attacked Trigon, all the while, yelling things such as "Hiya!" and "Why aren't you helpin me?!" Pink Raven amused herself by zooming around Trigon, making a sound that sounded strangely close to an airplane. It proved to annoy Trigon, and she had earned herself the crushing punch she received before long. She had the enthusiasm... But no skill.
Timid was pretty much worthless, while Intelligence only offered her help if she herself felt threatened. Otherwise, she shouted advice. But anyway...
"NO! Can you not see that he is about to- never mind, TO YOUR RIGHT!!" Valor dove to her right in response to Intelligence's shouted command. Yellow Raven breathed a sigh of relief as Trigon's eyebeams blasted down, just missing Valor, as she had predicted.
Valor and Happy landed next to Intelligence and Timid, grouping together for a split second. Whether to plan or what, they never knew, because demons don't let you do that under their nose. Before they knew it, he was standing before them. "FEEL MY FURY!" He roared in his typical growl.
"What's that supposed to me-" Pink Raven began, and then screamed as a blast of red bore straight down on them. Frightened for once in her life, Happy ran. Timid vanished into the ground immediately. Ironically, yellow was the only one who paused, and was grabbed and shoved out of the way by Valor.
They barely made it, Valor landing heroically on her feet, Intelligence falling to the ground.
"My... glasses!" Intelligence stared with horror at her broken glasses, which had fallen off. They lay in a gray crumpled heap, shattered.
"Doesn't matter. Why do you need those stupid spectacles anyw-" Green Raven began, in vain.
"You BROKE them!" Intelligence finally left the ground, black energy blazing from her hands to hit Trigon, a trail of power behind her. Trigon roared with fury as she dodged his attacks, and engaged in battle.
"Well... that got her up," Happy commented. "But I thought Intelligence was supposed to be intelligent! I mean, didn't they get the word intelligent from HER name?..." Since Yellow Raven was out of earshot, furiously attacking Trigon, no one bothered to correct Happy, because Yellow Raven was to only one who would have.
Valor grinned happily. "You GO girl!" She rose into the air, energy blazing from her hands to attack. Happy shrugged, forgetting her stupid question, and followed. Timid watched fearfully... And then turned back to stare at the real Raven, who was engaged in battle with the Titans.
Starfire hesitated; watching Raven exchange blows with Robin. Robin swung his bo staff towards Raven, who stopped it with a wave of her hand, covering it with her power. It snapped, and Raven easily threw it into a chasm in the street.
"Doesn't it just pain you to have no powers while they others do?" Raven coldly asked him, her eyes glowing. She caught an explosive device in her power, and it caused no harm to her.
"I don't envy the other Titans. I make up for that with skill," Robin told her angrily, but matter of factly. He was breathing hard. He couldn't believe he was defending himself from her... I mean, she wasn't really Raven, was she? It's Trigon... though Robin knew he'd feel awkward having her on the team, after this... If there would be a team...
"I mean THIS pain." Grabbing his arm, she flung him away from her, and then covered him with her power. "Azerath Metrion ZINTHOS!" She slammed him against a building wall, malice burning in her eyes.
Starfire finally made her move. Eyes fiery with anger, eyebeams shot from them, hitting Raven from behind. Raven stumbled, but it didn't affect her as much as Starfire meant it to. Furious, Raven sank into the ground, leaving nothing but red sparks behind her.
Starfire stared nervously, and didn't notice when Raven materialized behind her, her blood-red cloak coming up from the ground. Lightning bolts of red power hit Starfire in full force.
Before Raven could do anything else, she sensed movement behind her, and dodged a beam of blue from Cyborg's cannon. He and Beast Boy quickly arrived, Beast Boy as a horse with Cy riding him.
Starfire leapt up, flinging starbolts at Raven, who blocked them all with a shield. Raven shot a blast of power into the ground, and concrete burst apart. Beast Boy and Cyborg screeched to a stop, as rock flew into the air. Starfire was flung away, and Raven found herself not being attacked.
Raven's flaming red eyes noticed Robin, who had recovered from Raven's earlier attack. Like most leaders, who cannot bear to look stupid for too long, he was on his feet, and ready to attack. Seeing that he didn't notice her, Raven materialized into the ground, coming up behind him.
Her crimson power covered a half-crumpled building, and it rose into the air with a deafening rumble. Robin turned around quickly to see the building hovering over him, pieces of concrete falling from it to shatter on the ground. It loomed over him for a long second, rocking side to side. Robin froze.
"Goodbye, Leader," Raven scornfully told him, before releasing her hold on the building.
Cliff-hanger... I'm putting something on here that I made just for fun a long while back... talking of all the Ravens... Well, all the ones I've added yet, 2 more are coming later... Here it is.
Emotions/ The other sides of Raven :
Pink Raven/ Happy:
A very joyful and carefree Raven. Not the smartest Raven around. She is very optimistic, and usually annoys the other emotions with her endless joyfulness. She is never afraid of anything, and enjoys cart –wheeling and skipping and other things that the others don't like. Nothing matters much to her, and she can forget anything in a second. She loves to have fun, and like Valor, her carefree attitude can make her reckless, even stupid, when in a crisis.
Gray Raven/ Timid:
A very sad and easily frightened Raven. She is afraid of nearly everything, and is usually quiet. Miserable all the time, she never stands up to anyone, and thinks of the bad in everything. She rarely speaks up, but is actually kind of smart when she's not miserable. Timid hides from everyone, and some don't like her because of her gloomy behavior and sad voice. She is considered the most useless Raven, but her fear is occasionally backed up with reasoning.
Green Raven/ Valor:
This Raven is everything about fighting. She's bold, courageous, and has an attitude. Despising Timid, and is annoyed by Happy, she is quite bossy, and is quick to attack. She's never afraid, and has a heroic personality. Sometimes rude to the others, she encourages others to fight, and is also not too smart. Her bravery can be too much sometimes, and allows her to be reckless.
Yellow Raven/ Intelligence:
The smart Raven. Quiet and peaceful, she enjoys meditating. Usually the only one to explain, she hates fighting, and focuses on the problem on hand. She's fascinated with new experiences, and frequently reads. She gets along with almost everyone, is shy, and never mean. She's eager to answer others questions, and thinks of things the others aren't nearly smart enough to.
Red Raven/ Hatred:
Full of hatred for everything and everyone, she represents Trigon, with 4 red eyes. She is cold and hating, and everyone hates her as well. She's unfeeling, and despises everyone, including even Raven. Her creepy voice seems to even make others angry with her, and when she's in control, she's evil. She used to be chained in Raven's mind, but when she's free, Trigon gains control. She's spiteful and for some reason, can't lie. But that doesn't stop her from getting others mad at her. Her power is red, and very strong.
Black Raven/ Control:
She represents the Control that Trigon has over Raven. New to Raven's mind, she has no set emotion. Black Raven is not technically an emotion. All emotions are open to her. She has a strange, but not evil voice. Maybe if she didn't have her 4 yellow eyes representing Trigon, she wouldn't seem evil. She came as a ghost-like figure in Raven's mind, but when Trigon gained control, she was able to be completely there, and fight. An excellent fighter, who obeys Hatred most of the time.
