A/N: (Opens Mouth) (Closes it again) You know what? I'm not even gonna bother.

"Raven?"

"Hmm?"

"I don't mean to interrupt, but even I have a certain limit to how well I can suppress my curiosity. Exactly, what is going on?" Malchior asked.

Raven chuckled slightly, "Haven't you already guessed? I am free now, I have released myself from my human thoughts. My father is no longer limited to his own dimension, and all of space and time will be ours to control." She kissed him deeply.

"And Balegor?" He questioned, a distinct edge to his voice.

She chuckled again. "Has been, how shall we say? Demoted."

"As in?"

"He is no longer Brother Blood." She added.

"Alright, so the Brother Blood thing was changed?" He asked.

Again she chuckled, "No, you are going to be Brother Blood." She answered.

Malchior's eyes widened and his lips fell to an awkward frown, "Uh, okay we have a problem th—"

Raven slipped her hands under the cloth of his shirt, causing the skin on his back to tingle, while she silenced him by pressing her lips to his and kissing him hungrily. When they parted once more she smirked at him, "Hm?"

"That really is not fair, Love." He said. She snickered. "Just one thing,"

"What is it?"

"Exactly, what is this and why did you want it?" He questioned, once again unearthing the orb that held the blackfire butterflies she had wanted him to get.

Raven's eyes seemed to cloud when she saw it, it was as if she'd forgotten him entirely as she reached out for the orb. When she took it in her hands she got off of him, sitting up on the bed and staring at it as if she were in a trance. Malchior looked at her, and then at the orb. Suddenly it seemed as if the butterflies had multiplied, and they were flying around in a livid motion, their blackfire wings seemed to be burning more furiously, their red bodies seeming to glow.

"Love?" he tried, putting his hand on her. But none of her four eyes turned to him, she kept staring at the orb. "Raven!" He shook her, getting slightly worried now.

Suddenly, she seemed to snap out of her trance, the red glow of her eyes died down, and now he could see blue pupils, in all four of them. She stared at him, blinking in confusion, "Malchior? What are you—what am I doing here?!" She exclaimed, looking down at herself.

"Raven? Hm, seems you're back to normal...pity." Malchior said, slipping off the bed to retrieve his chest plate.

"Shut up." She growled, glaring at him as she too got off the thing. "I know I'm going to regret asking this but, what happened?" She asked him.

"Honestly? I do not know. What I do know is that when I found you, well, you were already acting strangely, but you bit me again." He said, rubbing his neck where the bandage was, "And then I wake up and you're, well you're demonic. Then I handed you the orb and here you are." He told her.

"The orb? What or—the orb!" She suddenly exclaimed, remembering she had something in her arm. "Malchior, I could kiss you." She said.

"Oh don't worry, you already did." He said with a smirk.

Again she glared at him, "I did not need to know that." She said.

"Oh well you did a little more than just kiss me!"

"Shut up!" She hissed, her face growing hot with embarrassment. "And if you tell anyone I'll give you another bite!"

He snickered, "Yes Love. Just one thing, how come you still look, er, demonic?" he asked.

Raven's eyes widened, she then waved her hand over her brow, suddenly realizing she could see there. She ran over to the mirror to look at herself, "Oh gods no." She said with a pained expression on her face.

Malchior slipped his arms around her shoulders from behind, "Well I don't know about you but I like it." He said, kissing the edge of her jaw.

She twitched and glared at him from the mirror, "You have got to be joking." She said.

"Certainly not! It may be different from your original self, but it's still you all the same." He answered.

"Malchior?"

"Yes Love?"

"Get your hands off me."

"Hnhn, very well."

"Should've known it wouldn't be so easy." Zacroma sighed, looking out the barred window of their new cell door. The cell itself wasn't the problem, it was the huge number of guards on the other side of the door that was the problem. Guards that had been able to resist the effects of the rosary beads and take them from them.

"I don't guess you have anything more powerful on you?" Asked Cyborg.

"Just a crucifix, and that's hardly enough to ward off all of them." She answered.

"What about holy water?" Robin asked.

"Only works on pure evil. Might blind them if it got in their eyes, but that's about it. Besides, I'm saving it for Trigon." She answered, suddenly pulling out a huge, complex looking gun from nowhere.

"Whoa! Why didn't you tell me you had that?!" Cyborg exclaimed.

"It's a super soaker, dude." She said. "I was just showing you what I'm using."

"Oh...I knew that." He said.

"Right. Okay, so now what?" Beast Boy asked.

Zacroma looked back through the bars, pursing her lips in thought. "Alright, here's the pl—what tha heck?!" She suddenly exclaimed, eyes widening in shock. She then flattened herself against the wall beside the door, her eyes wide and her face pale. "Oh crap, ohcrapohcrapohcrap!" She huffed.

"What? What is i—" Beast Boy asked, about to look.

"Don't look through that window!" Zacroma suddenly hissed pulling him away. "Alright, guys, whatever you do don't look straight into his eyes. It'll be hard because he has four of them, but trust me, don't." She instructed fiercely. "Get over there. There's only one thing I can think that would make him come here, and that would be to put seeds in us. So whatever you do, don't let him touch you." She said.

"Who?" Asked Robin.

"Who do you think?" She hissed, "Now ssssshhh!" She said, holding the super soaker in a ready position. She then waited, they all waited, the rest of them standing against the farthest wall from the door, hardly even breathing.

"Y-yes master!" Stuttered a nearing voice from outside. "Right away!" the sound of keys fumbling could be heard outside the door. And then it opened.

Zacroma wasted no time, she jumped out and shot a string of water directly at Trigon's face. "AAAAAAHHHH!!!" The demon screamed, wreathing away.

"RUN!" Zacroma yelled, plunging into the other room without a second thought.

"Titans go!" Robin ordered. No one questioned, they just ran. Beast Boy transformed into a huge rhinoceros and just barreled through. Cyborg did the same, his metallic body giving him an ample shield against the physically week priests. Starfire flew out, sending her emerald disks in all directions. Rorek did the same with his white lightening. And Robin used his ultra super cool karate moves on anyone that was left...which wasn't much.

"Get them! Get them!!!" Trigon's voice boomed throughout the corridor as they continued to run. Zacroma flying in the lead and Robin riding on Beast Boy.

"Uh, why didn't we just do that in the first place?" Cyborg asked.

"The element of surprise at the fact that I wounded their all-powerful master caused too much confusion for them to fight back." Zacroma answered.

"But now we have Trigon on our tail!" Robin exclaimed.

"We have to find Raven! It's our only chance." Zacroma said.

"Finally!" Raven huffed, grabbing her discarded battle clothes from a chest she had found in the room. She used her magic to swiftly change from the dress into them and flung the stupid thing aside.

"Aw, can't we keep it?" Malchior asked, picking it up, "You look so lovely in it."

Raven twitched, "How come whenever you open your mouth I have this sudden urge to kill you?" She asked.

"You're so cute when you're angry." He said with a charming smile.

"See? There it is again. Malchior, can't you be serious about this?! We're in a very dangerous position here, and there's no telling when Trigon will be back!" She huffed. "We have to find the others...if they're still alive." She said, her tone faltering.

"Well, we know Rorek, at least, is alive, because I am alive. And we can't die unless we kill each other." Malchior said.

Raven stopped and looked at him, "What?"

"Oh, he didn't tell you? Why do you think those mystics sealed us instead of get some dragon slayer to kill us? We aren't the most powerful of dragons you see. But when our forces are combined or pitted against each other, well, the effects cause a reaction of power equal to that of what we use to have as a Gray Dragon." He explained. "It was part of the curse the White Magus put on us, well, not her in general, actually gray dragons can only die if they kill themselves anyway, though its still funny how that worked out."

"Alright, I'll ask you more about this later, right now lets just get out of here." She said. She walked over to the large double doors and peeked outside of them. It seemed the hallway was empty. She pressed her finger to her lips and bid Malchior to follow her. "Do you have the orb?" She asked.

"Right here, by the way, what is it?" he asked.

"No time for that, put it in your sup-space pocket or whatever and lets go." She told him. Obediently, he did so and followed her out the door.

"I can sense Malchior, he's this way." Rorek said, redirecting their course to another hall. They stopped.

"'I can sense Malchior, he's this way.' Dude! Next time maybe you should be looking out for, oh say, AN ARMY OF LITTLE FREAKS!" Beast Boy exclaimed.

In front of them, blocking their path, was, well, an army of little freaks. They had black skin, and they crouched over, their arms nearly reaching to the floor. Their hands and their feet were large, clawed, and their faces were bat-like with large yellow eyes and flashing white teeth. But overall, they were even shorter than Beast Boy was.

"Lesser demons! Trigon's already begun the immigration, I don't believe it!" Zacroma exclaimed. She then pulled out the crucifix and held it up. It seemed to glow with a white light in the face of the evil creatures, it caused them all to shriek, hide their eyes, and run away, screaming in pain.

"Well, that's handy. Lead the way Rorek." Robin said.

"Mistress Raven! The prisoners have escaped!" Exclaimed a priestess, bowing low before Raven.

Raven swallowed, hoping this would work. "What?! You fool! Where are they?!" She boomed.

"Coming this way, Mistress. But we will take care of them, you have no need to trouble yourself." She said breathlessly.

"Forget it! I will deal with them!!!" Raven hissed, pushing her to the side so that she could stalk down the corridor. Malchior followed her, not even glancing at the priestess, that is until they were a ways away so he could make sure she wouldn't hear him.

"Impressive. And here I was thinking you weren't a very good actress." He said.

"Shut up." She snapped.

"I think I heard Raven." A distant, yet quite familiar, voice said.

"Guys!" Raven called, running towards the direction of the voice. They came into view, Beast Boy, Robin, Starfire, Rorek, Cyborg, and...Zacroma?

"Rave—AAAAAHHHH!!!" Beast Boy screamed when he saw her.

"Oh crap!" Exclaimed Cyborg.

Raven held up her hands, "No, no, it's alright, I have a hold over myself." She assured them.

Zacroma gave her a wary look, "Ooookay, I'll just trust you on that seeing as how you're not devouring us right now. Here, drink this." She said, holding out a vessal of strange liquid.

Raven raised her eyebrow, "Since when were we able to trust you?" She asked.

"No, it's okay, really. I know your mother." Zacroma assured. She then held out her other hand, and then spread it open to reveal a pair of gold rings encrusted with rubies which bore a celtic character in each.

Raven's eyes widened at the sight, and her mouth dropped open in spite of herself. "Azar's rings..." She whispered, holding her hand out for them.

"Yes. Azar's final wish was that you had them when you became old enough. Arella made sure I had them to give to you." The girl said.

Raven looked at the rings for a moment, and then she put them on her fingers. She then held out her hand to take the potion.

It only took a few sips, and then Raven could feel her body chemistry changing back to how it was. Her second set of eyes closed and disappeared, her fangs shortened back into normal teeth, her skin became pale instead of sheet white, and her hair changed back from black to violet. The only downsides were that now she no longer had the super-human strength, and her hair had stayed the same length.

She picked up a lock and looked at it, "This is going to be annoying." She sighed.

"Oh Raven!" Cried Starfire, all but attacking Raven in her happiness, "We were so worried about you! How did you escape the demon Trigon!?" She exclaimed.

"It's complicated." Raven gasped out, "Starfire, I can't breath." She said.

"Oh! I am sorry, but what are we to do? Malchior no longer has the sword he took, and Zacroma has told us it was once Trigon's sword!" She exclaimed.

Raven's eyes widened, "You took the sword from my—what the heck were you thinking?!" She rounded on Malchior.

"Now how was I suppose to know something like that? For all I could see it looked like a pretty good weapon." He responded.

"Whatever. Alright, here's the plan. We get the heck out of here, stalk up on rosary, crosses, silver, you name it! Then we come back and storm the place on our own terms." Zacroma said.

"I am afraid that will not happen." A voice boomed, its laughter echoed throughout the corridor, causing it to seemingly crumble around them while sections of the floor split. Platforms formed while the rest of the floor fell away into nothing, floating away from each other so that the Titans were now separated. The world shifted, changing into a celestial void of stars, inconsistent lighting, and floating platforms.

"This isn't good." Raven whispered as Trigon rose from the largest platform, demonic and massive, he liftedhis expanded sword into the air and let out an inhuman battle cry.

"Dude, what do we do now?!" Beast Boy exclaimed to Zacroma.

"I'm thinking, I'm thinking!" She huffed.

Raven suddenly rounded on Malchior, who had been too close to her to be on a separate platform. "You told me that when Rorek and your powers combined or clashed it was far more powerful than either of your individual forces added together. If you can weaken and/or distract Trigon for, five minutes, I have a way that will kill him off once and for all." She said.

"Well that's good, I didn't exactly fancy becoming 'Brother Blood' anyway." He replied.

"SAY WHAT?! Okay, never mind that right now. I need the orb." She said.

"The what? Oh! That, why?"

"Just give it to me $&$& it!" She yelled.

Malchior's eyes widened, "Why Raven! You just swore!" He said, sounding impressed.

"SHUT UP AND GIVE IT TO ME!" She cried in exasperation.

"Alright, alright." He said, handing it to her.

"Okay, go tell the others to try and stall him, without getting killed. Talk to him, taunt him, whatever! But you and Rorek have to at least weaken him." She said.

"Ugh, I have to cooperate with hi—"

"MALCHIOR!!!"

"I'm going! I'm going!" He flinched, flying off of the platform. "Hey, wonder boy," He poked Robin, who was currently trying to strategize himself.

"That's Boy Wonder." He snapped.

"Whatever. Raven says to distract big, red, and ugly, she says she might have a way to finally defeat him." The dragon said. "Need a lift?" He asked, picking the boy up into the air.

"No I—" He started, but then a beam of black light coming from Trigon completely destroyed the platform, and everything around it, that they had been on. "Uh...thanks." He said, looking up at the dark dragon in surprise.

"Yeah, whatever, just don't tell anyone. Hey pinky! Catch!" He called, throwing Robin to Zacroma.

"It's Zacroma! Za-cro-ma!" She yelled, grabbing Robin just as another beam of black like shot at them.

"It is useless you fools! I am unstoppable!" Trigon roared.

"We shall never give up!" Starfire yelled, sending a powerful collective blast of her green energy at the demon. But he merely swat her away with his hand, laughing cruelly.

"Sanctus Telum!" Rorek exclaimed. An arrow of white, almost clear, light shot from his hands, hitting Trigon in the chest where it seared.

"Fool!" He bellowed, but it was obvious he had been wounded. He tried to swipe at Rorek as well, but the dragon flew out of the way.

"Star! Star are you alright?!" Robin exclaimed, kneeling beside his fallen comrade.

"I, I am wounded, but I shall still fight." She said sitting up.

"Zacroma, Raven says she has a way to defeat Trigon, but we have to distract him for a long enough period of time." Robin said.

"Oh, and when you see Rorek and I casting a spell, together noless, get out of the way." Malchior said, flying past them towards Cyborg, who was using his blaster, and Beast Boy's pterodactyl form.

"Alright Star?" Robin asked.

"I am ready." She answered.

"Guys, I'm goin' in. Wish me luck." Zacroma said, preparing her super soaker. She then jumped off the platform and launched at Trigon. The demon noticed her and laughed, but she dodged his spells, and began to shoot a consistant stream of holy water at him. The demon cried out in spite of himself, and tried to swat her out of the air, but again she dodged him.

"You shall not be victorious!" Starfire cried, shooting her beams in a continuous fashion.

Robin launched from his spot onto another floating platform, and then another. He threw a set of exploading disks at the demon. Cyborg launched his emergency rocket, and then began shooting lasers in rapid succession.

"Raven says to combine our powers against Trigon." Malchior informed his other half.

"What?!"

"I don't like it either, but she says that if we can weaken him, she can kill him." He said.

"I can't trust you! You'll just turn around and attack me instead!" Rorek exclaimed.

"And I fully intend to do so, but not until after we've gotten rid of him." Malchior said, jerking his thumb towards Trigon.

Rorek looked indecisive, he looked at Trigon, then back at Raven standing upon the highest platform with her hands raised in the air, and finally to Malchior. "We've never agreed on anything." He said.

"Didn't say we had to, but it seems we both have the same amount of love for Raven." Malchior said.

"For her then." Rorek said. Malchior nodded and they stood beside each other, preparing their spells against Trigon.

"I'm out of water!" Zacroma cried. Robin looked over hopefully, and found the two dragons were standing beside each other, preparing their magics.

"Titans! Scatter!!!" He commanded.

"Animatus, Specula, Aeternitus!" Rorek exclaimed.

"Atrum, Exspes, Mortis!" Malchior chanted.

Starfire grabbed Robin and flew as fast as she could away from the Demon. Beast Boy changed into a giant hawk and flew Cyborg and himself in the other direction. Zacroma flew towards Raven, hovering near her, but far enough away that she didn't break the mystic's concentration.

Malchior and Rorek's black and white energies combind with each other, twisting together, merging and becoming a single color: Silver. The power streamed on towards the giant demon, now turned towards them. He held up his sword to block the force, but it would do him little good. The power took the form of a dragon, its defaning roar shaking the floating plots of land. Trigon let out a cry of rage as the dragon hit him, burning into him, wrecking its destructive force upon him.

When it was over, the demon fell back, landing upon his platform, huffing with exhaustion.

"Now, Raven!" Zacroma exclaimed.

"Take your revenge upon the one who abandoned you! Make him feel your furious power! And let your deeds bring you peace to finally rest!" Her voice echoed. The orb, glowing black, suddenly shattered. And from her hands flew over a hundred butterflies, their bodies red and their wings made of black fires. They flew straight at Trigon, becoming larger, and larger, until the bodies took on humanoid shapes of men and women. Their combined cries where that of the dead, shrieks of fury and wrath. The butterflies attacked the red skinned demon, ripping his flesh, biting him, devouring him.

"NOOOOO!!! STOP YOU FOOLS!!! I WILL NOT BE DEFEATED SO EASILLY!!!" Trigon screamed.

"Don't you recognize them Father?!" Raven called. "These are the souls of the children that you killed because they did not suite your purpose! They have raged for thousands of years, waiting for this day when they could extract their revenge. They came to me, knowing that I would give them what they wanted one day. And that day has come! You are finished, Trigon, may you rot in hell!"

"NO! NO!!!" He cried, trying to bring himself up. But his body was being destroyed, burned in the black flames of the souls that were once his children. "RAVEN!!!" He cried out in fury, but then he fell again, but only his horns hit the floor.

The butterflies flew into the air, flying in a straight line back to Raven. They circled around her, singing their joy into the sky. And then they spiraled upwards. The black flames of their wings became white, their skin became gold, and they disappeared into a blinding light high above.

Raven spun around as they circled around her, her hair swirling about her shoulders. Slowly, her clothes began to change from midnight, to white. Starting from her feet and the bottom of her cape, and finishing with her hood when the last of the butterflies had left.

Raven's knees hit the red carpeted floor of a church sanctuary. A pair of golden horns fell in front of her, Trigon's horns, but she didn't care.

She was free, she was finally free, forever. She had done it, she had overcome her father, with the help of the children he had cast away, she had accomplished what she had set out to do her entire life. She was free.

Raven fell to the ground, for the next few moments of consciousness she could feel someone picking her up, but then everything went mercifully black.

A/N: I suppose I could have drug that out longer, but then it would start to get boring and monotonous and I never could stand those villains who just won't die. The story is not over, by the way, I still have a chapter or two to go for the finish, so make sure you stick around for that! .

You're all probably thinking 'why butterflies?', well, in Greek/Roman mythology the word for 'butterfly' and 'soul' was the same, Psyche, and the woman who bore that name related the two together, so a human soul supposedly takes the form of a butterfly. Something else you all might be wondering about is the whole Trigon's other children thing. Well, from what I understand is that Trigon is an extra-dimensional being who is unable to get a good hold on earth because of some barrier. So he has to make a link between him and Earth, meaning his child must be half-demon. If this were the case, Raven couldn't have been the first child he had tried to cultivate for this purpose, and, as it always seems, the first child would not have been an absolute success. So he would just discard the children that didn't fit his purpose, leaving them to die or even killing them himself so he wouldn't have to deal with them.

So yeah, anyways!

TheDarkAzar: Sure! I think the name's cool too, but if you give me the only moon on earth it's only fair that I give you Saturn's best and biggest moon. (Did you know Rhea is a moon on Saturn!?!? I found that out a while ago, it's so cool!!!) Personally, I think you should take over Italy first, that's where most rock stars'll go and hang out, and if you can capture them then you will have the world in no time! (If you end up capturing Nightwish can I have them?!) And good luck with the account! Bet you'll have some interesting stories.

Pixie10111: HIS HAIR IS BLACK IN THE ORIGINAL SERIES SO NYA!!! AND SO IS RAVEN'S HAIR!!! SO THEREFORE I AM BEING CLOSER TO THE ORIGINAL SERIES THAN THE TV SHOW!!! Ahem, anyways. Personally, I prefer to avoid R rated stuff, I mean a little bit of tasteful snuggling and kissing is nice, but writing (Or reading) blatant sex gets wayyyyyyy too personal. But, I suppose that's my opinion and not yours. Thanks for the support anyways, I appreciate it .

Morbed-Kai: To each their own I suppose. But, I take this as a good sign. If you have such a strong opinion for or even against one of the characters I am doing my own thing with, that means you must really be getting into the fic! . hope you keep reading!

Hm...that's all I really had to say. Alrighty then! (Cracks knuckles) On to the next chapter!!!
