"Azarath"
Authors Note- If your still reading you must be crazy, I'm a beginner and this story stinks lol! Anyway, if you still are reading this there is some action in this chapter and the story will become more intense very soon.
Disclaimer-Don't own em, the teen titans wouldn't be the same if I did (DOWN WITH TERRA!) sorry that was anyway...
LAST CHAPTER"WHAT!" the team said in unison.
"Yes, my mentor is there, he knows what this says," Rae said pointing to the paper, "Because he wrote this for me in case this ever happened."END OF LAST CHAPTER
"So how do we get there?" Robin asked after calming down a little. He'd never been to Azarath before and didn't know anything about it. 'How am I supposed to train for it if I don't know what's there.' He was trying to think when Raven replied.
"I'll teleport you there," she replied calmly, "But we have to hurry I'd leave today if I could, but it'll take some focus to get you there without me coming with you."
"So, you are not joining us in this trip?" Starfire asked innocently.
"No Star, I can't Azarath will only make me transform faster."
"Oh."
"Don't worry Star we're going to help Raven." Robin said wrapping his arm around her waist.
"Yeah don't worry about me...well worry about stopping me, but other than that." Raven said in an even voice with the smallest hint of humor in her voice.
"Alright, so we should get ready, right?" Cy asked.
"Right!" the team said.
"Well come on then, yeah!" Bb and Cy said together giving each other a high five.

Raven sat in deep meditation on the roof chanting her usual words, knowing that no one was going to bother her. They were almost afraid of her, but they were her friends and would do anything to help her right now. Laughing to herself, she thought 'Wow, I wish I could get this kind of peace when I'm not in danger of turning into a demon.' In her own world she suddenly felt the presence of another person, it was Bb from what she sensed. Small, with DNA of every animal known to man. 'Yeah, it's definitely him.' "Yes, Beast Boy?"
"Oh, I-I....umm..." Beast Boy hadn't expected her to see him, now that he thought of it how could she, her eyes were closed.
"Beast Boy I'm a physic what do you expect?"
'Oh yeah, duh Beast boy' he thought to himself. He'd been trying to keep low cover so that he could just watch over Rae while she meditated. He wanted to be there if something went wrong again.
"Thank you for your concern, but I'm fine Beast boy." Rae said once again reading his thoughts. He was so caring, she didn't understand why she couldn't tell him how much she liked him.
"Are you sure your going to be ok Rae?" he asked coming to stand next to her, "I don't want something bad to happen while I'm still here." He placed a comforting hand on her shoulder and looked deep into her eyes. He wondered what she was thinking, but she turned her head and paid no heed to him.
Actually, when Beast Boy had looked her in the eyes she just couldn't hold the gaze. She was about to cry and turned her head away from him trying to suppress her emotions for him when he suddenly grabbed her and gave her a big bear hug, literally. He had turned into a large all green bear. As she tried to pull free he turned back into his human self and she stopped struggling, he was now just giving her a normal hug his face not far from hers. She thought he was going to kiss her when all he said was, "If you're sure you'll be ok." And walked towards the elevator to go back inside.

"Okay, so that's where he lives." She yelled through the glass of the T-car, "Are you sure you got it?"
"Yeah we got it, now hurry or we'll be to late. I really do want to came back to a fully-intact San Francisco." Cy yelled from the front seat, "Just kidding with you Raven." He explained quickly when he noticed the look she was giving him.
She placed her hands on the car and focused all her energy to it. It glowed a deep black and Raven chanted, "Azarath...Metrion...Zinthos!" The car disappeared without a trace and was on its way to another dimension far from this one. Raven slouched and fell to her knees, she passed out a few seconds later.
The T-car traveled through an odd looking warp, and was spit from an opening above a small village. The Titans got out and looked around while Cy looked to see if there was any damage to his precious car.
"Yeah, looks like a place Raven would live." Beast Boy said jokingly.
They were on a large rock that served as an island for the small village next to them. The area around the rock was nothing but air and a few other small rocks. The whole place seemed to have a red tint, like if you were wearing tinted sunglasses.
"Wow, it is so...empty." Star said trying to be happy.
"Well, we're not here site-seeing so it's no use in complaining." Robin said, "Let's go find what we came here for."
The titans walked across the empty field of red dust that they had landed in and headed towards the village. When they had walked into the village they asked the people there about Raven's mentor and they learned that he lived at the very end of the village a few miles away.
"Can't we take a break?" Beast boy asked, "My feet are killing me."
"Yeah they won't hurt near as bad as the demon Raven squishing you like a tiny bug between her fingers." Cy pointed out looking at him seriously.
"Why don't you join me in joyous flight Beast Boy." Starfire said from above them.
"That sounds like a good idea Star, thanks" BB said changing into a small bird.

When they finally reached the house the mentor lived in, they sighed with relief. It had been a pretty tough walk, but nobody complained after Beast Boy. As they were about to knock on the door a winged demon came flying at them. It went straight for Robin and as tried to move he found he couldn't and only yelled out. The titans rushed to him, but right when the demon was about to hit him, it vanished.
"Robin, are you ok?" BB asked puzzled.
Suddenly Robin leapt at Starfire and she quickly moved out of the way. She was about to ask him what he was doing when he leapt at her again this time grabbing her hair as she dodged to the side. As she was pulled to the ground she screamed when he jumped on her and got to where he was inches away from her face. She could she BB transform into a large tiger and Cy pull out his cannon. They charged at Robin but he suddenly sprouted wings and flew above them with Starfire in his hands. Cy pointed his cannon at Robin but said he couldn't get a clear shot with him holding Star like that. Star tried madly to get Robin off of her but he held her by the neck and she could reach him by kicking.
"Robin what are you doing, get away from me, AHHHHH!" she let out a choked scream as he tightened his grip on her neck. She was struggling for air when beast boy grabbed at Robin with his eagle talons. He pierced the back of his neck and tried to pull him off of Starfire but he wouldn't loosen his grip on her.
Now with both of his friends in the air all Cy could do was stand and watch to see if he could get a clear shot somehow. Starfire was starting to turn blue when an old looking man came out of the house they'd been standing in front of moments before. He pulled a long black staff out of his matching robe and pointed it to the flying group. A flash of black energy escaped the staff and encased the group. It suddenly shrunk and when Cyborg was about to ask the man what the hell he was doing, it suddenly took the shape of Robin. The man told Cyborg he better catch his friends as he grabbed only Robin in the deep black aura. As Starfire and Beast Boy fell Cyborg was under them. He only caught Starfire though, because Beast Boy had enough energy to fly still. She was gasping for air, but was still alive. She hung limply in Cyborg's strong mechanical arms, but managed to crack a small smile and thank Cy and Bb.
The old man had the possessed Robin in front of him still encased in the black aura. The demon Robin let out a shrill cry that made BB and Cy cover their ears. Suddenly the black aura exploded into a bright white light and was gone. Robin lay on the ground still breathing but looking pretty bad. He had two large gashes on his neck and many scrapes and bruises. Beast and Cyborg ran over to him.
"What'd you do to him!" Beast boy yelled glaring at the old man.
"I saved him." He calmly replied.
"The hell you did!" BB screamed at him.
"BB, chill, just calm down." Cyborg coaxed.
"The demon that possessed him was very strong, I'm amazed your friend here survived. I had to use a lot of magic to remove the demon from him." He explained.
"Oh, sorry." BB said scratching the back of his neck, "Who are you though?"
"The one you all came looking for," The old man said, "Please come inside it looks like you need to rest, you did well in fighting that demon."
"Well, we really need to hurry back you see Raven..." Cy started.
"Yes I know, I know while you get some rest I'll translate the scroll." Wow, it wasn't as much of a cliff-hanger as usual huh? Well hope you liked it and you see that little button you can click and type nice things about it hint hint
