So far, I got three reviews, including one from a person that liked my last two stories, The Drewfus. I'm glad you like my story D, I mean so far you are becoming a big fan of my work. Here's the next chapter of my story. The Teen Titans are now in the sixth dimension, now they must defeat Richard Malgibon and find a way back to their world. But the only obstacle that can stop the team is themselves.

Chapter 9: Evil Reflections
The Sixth Dimension
The elevator doors slowly opened up letting the Titans enter through the sixth dimension. They looked around and noticed that they're in the hotel's hallway except the background was light blue with a few dimly litted lamps.
Beast Boy: O.K., this looks familiar.
Cyborg: Yeah, looks like all the other hallways except it's all blue.
Robin: Just keep your guard up team, we're in his world now.
Raven: He's right, we have to be more careful.
The team continued to walk down the hallway until they approached the "fork in the road" hallway with a window in front of them. At each end of the hallway was engulfed in total darkness.
Robin: Looks like we have a choice to make.
LM: Well, I'm not going to any one of those hallways.
Starfire: I agree with LM. Those places seem dark and dreary and I got the feeling of funniness that there could be monsters there.
Robin: You got a point there Star, but where would we go?
Just then, the window in front of them started to change itself into a pearly white door with a knocker. The door suddenly opened up revealing a temporally blind light. Once that light faded the Titans just stared at it.
LM: Well, we found our answer. Let's go.
The team then walked through the white door and entered a whole 'nother world. They were walking on a glass crocked road looking at a dark blue, star night sky. All over the sky were multiple floating objects. Objects like more white doors, windows with a garden view, eyeballs, EMC2 formulas, wooden dolls, and ticking clocks.
Terra: Kay, this place is getting more weirder by the second.
Raven: (looking back at the doorway) Well at least we know what happened to the two wings of the Tower.
The rest of the Titans look back and saw the Tower's two missing wings.
Cyborg: So this what happens when you combined both worlds.
Robin: Let's get this over with and stop Richard from doing the unthinkable.
The Titans continue walking down the crocked roadway, hoping to know where it takes them.
Unknown Location
Richard kept on watching the team walking down the crocked road on his crystal ball.
Richard: That's it my friends, just keep on walking. The more closer you get to my temple, the more trouble you're going to get into.
Sally Shine: You're not going to hurt them, are you?
Richard looked at a clear glass prison holding the victims of the 1939 incident. He then walked over to prison and knelt down to see Sally's innocent face.
Richard: My girl, what makes you think that I would hurt them.
Sally Shine: Because you hurt those other people.
Richard: Indeed I do. But you see these new guests I have are stronger then the others and you know why? Because they are superheroes, a crime fighting team that takes out the bad guys. But you see I'm not a bad guy, I'm just doing what's right for the world.
Gilbert London: What you did was killing innocent people.
Richard stood up and look at London.
Gilbert London: The Hollywood Tower Hotel was a wonderful place until you showed up and turned it into your own twisted playground. What did we do to you? What did the other guests do to you? What did the Titans did to you?
Richard: Nothing, that's what they did. They were all at the wrong place at the wrong time. I spent over sixty years keeping all this confidential, until these clowns show up. And it's because of all you that they know about everything about me and this hotel. (looking at Sally) And you little girl, if you minded your own business instead of playing games with that red head the other night, then they would've been dead by now. Why I have the nerve to-
Quickly, Ms. Partridge moved Sally aside making sure she doesn't get hurt.
Ms. Emmaline Partridge: Leave her alone, she just want to have friends that's all. It's because of you that she would never see her family again, that she would never see her friends again. How could you be such a cruel cold-hearted person? How could you-
Richard pinches his fingers and swiped them to the left like a zipper, shutting Ms. Partridge's mouth up, literally. Ms. Partridge covered her mouth and tried to open it but to no avail.
Richard: Don't you dare call me a cold-hearted person. I gave you all another chance to be back in the real world and this is the thanks I get. All of you have made contact with the Titans and gave them the information they need to stop me. (looking at Dewey) And you Dewey, you were the one that showed them those secret passages. I am deeply ashamed of it. (turning his back) No matter, I'll deal with all of you after I dispose of the Teen Titans.
Carolyn Crosset: What are you going to do to them?
Richard: (looking at the crystal ball) Oh nothing much. I just want them to meet their counterparts. (laughter)
The Sixth Dimension
The Titans kept on waking down the glass road, which seems to take them forever.
Terra: Are we there yet? My legs are getting tired.
Beast Boy: You're not the only one Terra. My feet are starting to have sores by now.
Raven: You two really need to exercise more.
Beast Boy and Terra: Shut up Rae!
LM: Good god, could you people be patient. None of us don't know where this crazy ass road is taking us. So just chill the hell down!
Five minutes later, the team approached the front doors of a huge floating church.
Raven: Now there's something you don't see everyday.
The front doors suddenly opened up without warning, causing the team to feel startled for the moment.
Robin: Get ready team, we don't know what we're up against.
The team entered through the doors with LM holding an M-29 OICW rifle in his hands. They looked around the main hallway of the church. On the walls were glass stain windows, on the ceiling were candle litted chandeliers, and on the floor was a red well designed carpet. They continued walking down hallway to approach another set of doors. Those doors opened as the team continued to move deeper into the church. They walked up a circular staircase and opened a steel door leading them to another hallway. On the walls were painted pictures of Richard's father and the Tower Hotel itself, full length mirrors, and candle stands. At the top of another door is a big portrait of Richard in an outfit similar to the Wiseman's outfit from the .HackSign video game (Which I don't own by the way) except its purple and light blue with a gold trim.
Beast Boy: For a guy who places a curse on a hotel and turning people into monsters, the dude has good taste.
LM: As the old saying goes, "Looks can be deceiving."
Cyborg: You got a point there LM. Even though this place looks convincing, we don't know what awaits us.
Starfire approached one of the mirrors and observed herself.
Starfire: I wonder why he has the glass of illusions?
She bent down to get a closer look but Robin interrupted her.
Robin: Starfire, we have to go.
Starfire looked left and saw the rest of the team leaving the hallway.
Starfire: Wait for me please.
Starfire flew to catch up with the others. What she didn't know is that her reflection on the mirror didn't move. It just stood there with its eyes staring at the team slyly.
Unknown Location
Richard looked though his crystal ball, observing the Titans every move.
Richard: They are more then just mirrors my dear little girl. Once you enter my Chamber of Mirrors, you're in for a little treat. (laughing)
Chamber of Mirrors
After going through a couple of hallways and corridors the Titans went through a set wooden doors and into the Chamber of Mirrors. The chamber looked like a huge dome with both the walls and ceiling covered with nothing but mirrors. The team kept looking at the room and was quite confuse at what they saw. Terra on the other hand was remembering the last time she was in the House of Mirrors when she betrayed the team once.
Terra: Well this brings back memories.
LM: And I thought the Maintenance Passage was confusing. Where's the door?
Robin: Don't know. Looks like we ran into a dead end.
Cyborg: Can't be. We've been going down a trail and I didn't see any other doors in this church.
Robin: Maybe we missed a door back there.
Raven: Or we might've walked into a-
Suddenly the doors the team went through shut them from the inside. The team looked at the doors then look back at Raven.
All except Raven: A trap?
Raven: Yep.
A small laughter was heard around the background, causing the team to go into their battle stances.
Richard: Isn't this rich, the guests at The Hollywood Tower Hotel are now the guests at my home.
Robin: Richard...
Richard: Are you enjoying my world? Made it all by myself.
LM: Looks like a mind of a pot smoker. Let us out right now and take us back to our world.
Richard: And let you pests warn the world about my father's work. No.
Robin: Why don't you show yourself? Where are you?
Richard: Do you really think I could show up out of the blue and take on all of you? I don't think so. Besides I am watching your movements at my quarters. Don't push your luck finding any hidden cameras, I'm using my magic to keep my eye on you.
Robin: Well we will get out of this place. And when we do, we will take you down.
Richard: You certainly have a way with words dear boy. However the opponent you're facing is not me.
Robin: What are you talking about?
Evil Voice: He's talking about us.
The team heard a voice similar to Robin's only that this voice was evil. They looked around to see where that voice came from when they heard another evil voice that almost sounds like Cyborg.
Evil Voice 2: Why don't ya look in front of you?
The Titans looked in front and saw their reflections on the mirrors. They thought it was all just a joke until they saw their reflections move by themselves and went through the mirrors still in their battle positions. They look like the original Titans except they appearance are a mixture of blue and light blue.
Robin: What the...
LM: This can't be right...
Raven: This is right. Richard created this dimension, so he's the one that's bending the rules of reality.
Richard: And now Titans, prepare to face your greatest enemy yet, yourselves! (evil laughter)
Richard's laughter quickly faded into the background as the evil Titans get ready to attack the good Titans.
Beast Boy: This keeps on getting worse by the minute. Do you have any other bright ideas Rob?
Robin: Looks like they have the same style of fighting as we do. Let's fight them for a while, but whatever you do, don't let your guard down.
All except Robin: Got it.
Evil Robin: Huh, you guys are going to need more then a strategy to take us down. Titans, take em' out!
The evil Titans charged towards the good Titans.
Robin: Titans, what he said!
Soon they all started their battle of good vs. evil. Robin and evil Robin with fists, kicks, and blocks. Both of them took out their Bo staffs and continued their combat. Starfire and evil Starfire shoot each other with star bolts then did their aireal combat. The original Starfire gave a flying spinning kick at the evil double, but evil Starfire ducked it fired her eye beams. Starfire luckily flew out of the way before the fire, however her evil double kept using her eye beams to make a direct hit. Cyborg was busy battling with his evil double. After a wrestling lock up Cyborg gave out a straight punch at the evil one's gut, sending it flying to the wall and smashing a mirror.
Cyborg: Booya!
Cyborg's celebration soon ended when the smoke cleared and saw the evil Cyborg with only a few scratches.
Evil Cyborg: BOOYA THIS!
Evil Cyborg fired his sonic cannon at the good Cyborg. Cyborg dodged the blast and fired his sonic cannon at his double. Raven and her evil double battled it out with a full blast of aurora magic. Evil Raven entered into a dark portal and good Raven followed her and continued their battle in a dark world. Beast Boy and his evil double were in their tiger modes and pounced on each other, leaving nothing but scratches. They both morphed into gorillas and fought each other with their huge arms. Terra and her evil twin were throwing rocks at each other but since they have earth-moving abilities, they showed that they wouldn't defeat each other with their powers.
Evil Terra: Looks like we are evenly matched my dear. I guess hand to hand combat is the best technique for both of us. It doesn't matter anyways, because I'll still beat at any type of skill you can dish out. (small laughter)
Terra: (talking to herself) Was I this diluted when I was working for Slade?
Both Terras soon fought with fists and kicks. LM was having a real hard time with his evil double firing his rifle as the evil LM used his bullet time to stop all the bullets. The evil reflection let its hand down letting the bullets fall on the floor.
Evil LM: Is that the best you could do?
LM placed his rifle on the ground.
LM: I am just getting started.
LM jumped backwards and placed his feet on the wall, smashing a mirror into pieces. He then jumped off the wall and charge LM with a spear. But the evil LM jumped up with his legs opened to the sides to dodge the attack. Soon they were up in the air staring at each other, looking for the right moment to strike. They quickly torpedoed each other with hard right fists. They made contact with each other and were thrown back after the impact. They flew back and continued their fighting in the air. Every member was battling their evil doubles hoping to bring them down.
Unknown Location
Richard observed the battle on his crystal ball and was very pleased at what he saw.
Richard: This is rich, quite rich. The Teen Titans battling against each other, greatest idea I've ever came up with. Too bad I don't have any popcorn to enjoy this. (laughter)
Chamber of Mirrors
Robin and his evil double continued their Bo staff battle as Starfire and her evil double fired star bolts at each other. Starfire flew high and rocketed right down with a drop kick. However, the evil Starfire grabbed the foot and tossed her down toward Robin, who was still fighting with evil Robin. Robin looked up and saw Starfire falling towards him. They soon crashed into each other leaving them in a very acquared position, (If you know what I mean) blushing red. Both Raven's went out of a dark portal and continued their fight. Evil Raven levitated shards of glass off the ground and threw them at good Raven. Raven formed a black shield to block off the attack. At the other side, LM and his evil double were battling it out in the air. LM did spinning kicks at his double but evil LM blocked them off, grabbed LM's trench coat, and threw him to the mirror wall, smashing it to pieces. LM shook it off and charge at the evil double one more time. Raven thought the same thing and formed into a huge black bird. She went after her double with her talons ready to grab. Both evil Raven and evil LM flew upward at the same time good Raven and LM collided to each other and fall to the floor next to Robin and Starfire. The two Beast Boys were morphing into different animals and attacking each other. They both changed into goats and rammed each other by the horns. They then shape shift into Velociraptors and fought each other with their claws and tails. The evil Beast Boy gave a head butt, sending the good Beast Boy to a mirror wall, breaking it to pieces. Beast Boy shook it off a moment but saw his evil twin morphing into an Ankylosaurus and used his spiky tail to hit Beast Boy, sending him flying. Cyborg kept on firing at his evil double with his sonic cannon, but evil Cyborg dodged the attacks and fired back. What Cyborg didn't know is that Beast Boy was flying towards him until he heard a scream. He turned to see where the scream was coming from and see Beast Boy, but didn't had time to dodge him. They soon crashed into each other and landed next to the others. Terra was still fighting her evil twin when she heard Beast Boy's scream. She looked to see Beast Boy and the others all in a pile.
Terra: Beast Boy!
Unfortunately, Terra was caught off guard.
Evil Terra: Nighty Night blonde.
Evil Terra gave good Terra an uppercut, sending her flying to the rest of the Titans. All the members slowly got up and looked at their evil counterparts in their battle stances, ready to strike on their good sides.
LM: I guess taking on ourselves wasn't a good idea. You got a plan B Robin?
Robin: Yeah, if we can't take them separate, maybe we can bring them down as a team.
Cyborg: Sounds like a good plan. Let's hope this works better then the last one.
Robin: Wait for my signal then we'll strike.
Evil Robin: All right, let's finish this up team.
The evil doubles then charged to the Titans.
Robin: NOW!
The team then attacked the evil Titans in groups of two or three. Raven teamed up with Terra to take on evil Cyborg. Evil Cyborg fired his sonic cannon at them but Raven formed a black shield to protect themselves from the blast. As soon as the shield was gone, Terra jumped up over the double, raised up some pointed rocks, and threw them at evil Cyborg. Evil Cyborg covered himself as the pointed rocks scratched his armor. He then jumped up and pounds his fist to the ground, causing Terra to fall on her back. Evil Cyborg aimed his sonic cannon and was about to fire at Terra's face, but multiple glass shards implanted him. Turns out that it was Raven throwing glass shards at the evil double's back. Evil Cyborg fell down dying but instead of blood gushing out, the evil double fizzled out and disappeared into thin air. Raven approached Terra and helped her up.
Raven: One down, six to go.
Suddenly, they got attacked by evil Starfire shooting star bolts at them. Terra lifted herself up with a floor rock underneath her as Raven phased through the floor. Evil Starfire continued firing at Terra flying around on her boulder, when she go hit in the back with one of LM's kicks. The evil double turned to face LM and fired star bolts at him. LM flew out of the way to dodge the attack. He then landed on the mirror wall and started running on the walls. Evil Starfire kept on firing on LM but missed him, causing mirrors to shatter into pieces. She got caught off guard when she got hit by Cyborg's sonic cannon and sent her flying to another mirror wall. LM grabbed a mirror shard that was falling and launched off the wall, flying towards evil Starfire, and stabbing her in the heart with the glass shard. She screamed in pain and disappeared out of existence. Suddenly, LM got attacked by evil Terra's pointed rocks, so he used his bullet time to stop the pointed rocks. Evil Terra kept on shooting more pointed rocks at LM hoping to kill him off, but she didn't know that Robin was behind her firing his grappling hook at her. The hook twirled around the evil double's waist and lashed on itself. Evil Terra formed a rocky boulder underneath her and flew with Robin tailing behind her. The evil double's hands glowed as a big rock like spike risen out of the floor ready to stab Robin. Luckily Robin swung out of the way and hit the evil Terra in the face. The evil double fell off the boulder and was penetrated through the big spike she created and simply vanished. Robin landed on the floor but was attacked by evil LM's fighting technique. Robin blocked the evil doubles punches and kicks and fought back with his style of fighting. They did their combat for a while until evil LM just blocked Robin's last kick and hit Robin in the chest with a spinning back kick. Robin went to the ground and shook off the impact, but he looked up and saw evil LM pointing a pistol at Robin's forehead.
Evil LM: Time to die birdie.
But before he pulled the trigger, some bullet shot him in the head, causing the evil double to fall and disappear. Robin looked to who did that and saw LM with his pistol out.
LM: Like I said before. When it's time to die, we choose it, not anyone else.
LM put his pistol away and rushed to Robin to see if he's O.K. but got sideswipe by evil Beast Boy, who morphed into a bear. He used his claws to scratch LM, but LM dodged the attack and flipped backwards. Starfire saw what happened and shot an arsenal of star bolts at evil Beast Boy. The evil double changed into a snake and slitherly dodged the star bolt. He quickly morphed into a hawk and flew upward, still avoiding the star bolts. LM looked at the action, used his hand to bring the rifle back to him, and aimed it at evil Beast Boy. Starfire quickly used her star bolts but the evil Beast Boy dodged all the shoots and shifted into a baboon to attack Starfire. Only thing Starfire had to do was covering her face. Before the evil double got a chance to rip Starfire's skin apart, he got shoot off by LM's rifle. Multiple holes were in his body when he vanished out of existence. LM sighed that it was over, but he got wrapped up in black aurora strips. He struggle to break free but it only made the grip tighter. Out from the floor came evil Raven with a small smirk on her face. She slowly approached a struggling LM placed her finger across his cheek.
Evil Raven: It's a shame to dispose of a nice face like yours, but I have no other choice. Any last words before you die?
LM: (smirking) Yeah, look at your right.
Evil Raven didn't know what he was trying to say until she looked at the right. What she saw is Beast Boy morphing into a bull and rammed her straight to a wall. She used her magic to levitate the bull and threw him to the other end. Unfortunately she got caught off guard as a birdarang got implanted to the back of her head. She falls face first and vanishes, leaving behind the birdarang. Robin approached it, picked up the birdarang, then looked at evil Robin.
Robin: Looks like you are outnumbered twin. Either you surrender or we end this right here and now.
Evil Robin: Easy there boy, there's got to be a peaceful way in doing this. (taking out four exploding disks) Too bad this isn't it!
Evil Robin threw the disks at the team, but Raven formed a shield to protect from the blast. The evil double took out his Bo staff and attack Robin one more time. Robin took out his Bo staff and they did their staff combat. Good and evil Robin slammed their staffs into each other causing the sticks to break apart. They then did their hand to hand combat with each other. Robin gave a high kick but his evil double ducked down and did a quick sweep. Robin jumped up and made a couple of punches to take out his evil double. The evil Robin just blocked them and gave a high low double punch. Robin blocked them and gives the evil double a right punch, but evil Robin stopped it with his right hand, squeezed it, and tossed Robin to the floor. The evil double took a birdarang and was about to stab Robin in the head, but Robin gave a smirk and some soft laughter.
Evil Robin: What's so funny?
Robin: Oh nothing, I'm just distracting you.
Evil Robin: Distracting me from what?
Just then, evil Robin was tapped on the shoulder. He turned around to see who's behind him and saw LM starring at the evil double.
LM: Me.
LM grabbed the double's wrist and twisted it. He then hit Robin in the chin with a palm strike fist. Finally he jumped up with his arms opened wide and his legs bended and kicked evil Robin to the chest. The double went straight into a mirror wall, shattering it to pieces. He was about to charge at LM but got hit by Cyborg's sonic cannon. Then Raven levitated the double up in the air and treated him like a pinball machine, hitting him wall after wall. She let go of evil Robin at the same time Starfire shoot her eye beams at him. He fell from the hit but a moving column impacted him to the ground. Evil Robin slowly got up after the hit but got slammed by Beast Boy in his rhino form, sending him flying to a glass wall and denting it. The double look up to see the good Robin giving a jump round house kick, making the double go through the glass mirror and disappeared. After the battle, the team looked to see that the mirror that the evil Robin went through was a secret passage with two wooden doors at the end.
LM: A sign of things to come?
Robin: More like a trap. But let's move on and get this over with.
The Titans slowly approached the doors, when they suddenly opened up. The team went through the doors and entered some type of church. There were long stain glass windows on both sides of the walls and in the back, long narrow benches, and front stage for a priest. But the front stage looked different cause there was a glass throne, a table with a few old books and a crystal ball, and behind them were seven metal crosses.
Beast Boy: Man, this is the most weirdest church I had ever seen.
Raven: Good thing I don't go to a church.
LM: That's because you only pray at a temple in Azarath. But why would Richard want church in this bizarre dimension of his?
Starfire: Uh... I think I know the answer.
The team approached to where Starfire was looking at. Turns out that it was a portrait of a couple looking scared with their mouths wide open.
Terra: Whoa, that looks creepy.
Cyborg: Looks like the painting has some sort of horrific style.
Robin: It's not the only painting that has it. Look at the others.
The team looked at a few portraits of families, bachelors, and newlyweds; all have terrified looks on their faces.
LM: This is just plain freaky. Look at all these pictures, they look like they got scared off by both the Ring and Grudge girls.
Raven: They are more then just portraits guys. Those must be-
Richard: Souls of the people that were in this hotel.
The whole team looked to see Richard on top of the stage with the same clothing he had on the big portrait at the hallway.
Richard: I always place their souls in solid pictures to remember the final moments of their demise. I hope you had fun with your exact opposites.
Robin: Richard, I'm giving you one final warning. You get us back to our world or we take you on.
Richard: Now why would I do something like that. Are you enjoying my world?
LM: Does it look like we're enjoying it?
Richard: Probably, you see I never bring living guests to the sixth dimension. I'm even surprised that you made it this far.
Cyborg: They don't call us the Teen Titans for nothing. Now take us back or we'll beat you senseless.
The team got to their stances ready to attack Richard.
Richard: You guys got guts, impressive. But I think you're going to endanger the lives of my first guests.
Richard snapped his fingers the same time the lights turned on. The Titans looked up the roof to see some type off glass prison, but in that prison was London, Crosset, Sally, Ms. Partridge, and Dewey. The team was shocked at what they saw.
Starfire: You wouldn't dare, they are not from the living anymore.
Richard: Maybe, but I know some spells that can torture lost souls. And since these souls told you about my story and my plans, I have no other choice.
Robin: That's it, you've crossed the line now Richard. This madness ends, now!
Richard: Very well then. Come get me, I'm right here.
With that said, the Titans are ready for the fight of their lives.
End of Chapter 9. I know it's a little confusing but I need to make this chapter more convincing. Please Review.
