A strong will,

A valiant heart,

A strong power you can't defeat,

But you can never turn your back.

Stand Alone

Nagira sat on his couch in his apartment. He started smoking a cigarette when he looked up and saw a shadow in the doorway.

"I didn't think you were coming back so soon," he said as Raven walked in.

"Hey, old man," she said. "You have that bottle of whiskey I left at the bar?"

"Yep, I thought you would want a drink," he said as he tossed the bottle to Raven. She poured them both a glass and they started to chat. "So, how are you holding up?"

"I could be better. I've been up against a powerful witch. I have to take her down soon."

"I never did like Solomon. They always insist on hunting witches. They do it even if the witch doesn't have her power yet. It really pisses me off. Why can't they just leave them the hell alone?"

"I don't know. I guess they want to make sure the world is pure. It's my job to stop the witches that do hurt people, no matter how defenseless they may be. Unfortunately, I can't say that I like doing it." She drank one last shot and got up. She pulled out a letter and handed it to Nagira. "Can you send this off? It's really important."

"I'll do it if you tell me your real name." She handed him the letter and walked to the door. He sighed and knew he was beat.

"Sena, Raven Sena," she said as she walked out. Nagira looked down at the letter. He read the name and smiled. "I see. You and this Robin girl are sisters." He picked up the shot glass and raised it in a toast. "Here's to you, kiddo. Good luck." He drank and smiled. He couldn't help but think that he would never see her again.

Outside the apartment, Raven got into Amon's black car and drove off.

"Well, Robin, it seems that you have come out of your state of shock." She thought to herself. Nagira, I guess this is goodbye. You were like a father to me, the father I never had. Take care, old man.


Back at STN-J, everyone was sitting in the meeting room. Michael was typing rapidly as the others stared in amazement. He never typed this fast. It must have been really important. Suddenly, his computer beeped.

"I just got some files on Raven from Solomon. It was really hard since it had so many codes to break. It took me almost three hours to hack into the system but I did it. Here's the 411." A projector appeared and a picture of Raven and her file showed up. "Raven Sena, age 15. After she was born, a monastery in Tokyo found her abandoned in a street. Almost immediately, they noticed that she was gifted with strange powers. An inquisitor traveled to Tokyo to see if she would make a witch hunter. He took her to Solomon Headquarters in Rome. There she was trained to hunt witches for fourteen years. At the age of thirteen, she was considered a class S hunter. It was only one year later when she was named a class R hunter."

"That doesn't sound good," Sakaki said.

"What does it mean? I've never heard of class R," Karasuma said.

"I'm not surprised. I've just heard of it now," Michael said as he looked up. "Class R stands for rouge agent. Only a few agents reach this in their lifetime, and it usually isn't until their late thirties if they stay that long."

"Are you going to tell us what it means or are you going to just keep babbling?" Doujima asked. Michael was annoyed but he decided to tell anyways.

"Class R hunters are sent after the most dangerous witches. They go wherever Solomon sends them. They are preferably suppose to capture them. But if they wish, they may kill the witch on the spot." Everyone gasped.

"That's unheard of! You're not suppose to kill witches!" Karasuma yelled.

"I know, but it's a fact. So far, Raven has only killed witches that have been on high threat and those who have abused their powers. That's not all. Solomon will not take any responsibility for anyone that gets in her way that are witch or witch hunter. She may kill anyone she wants." Robin knew what she had to do. She had to find Raven. But how? She couldn't sense Raven anywhere. She must have been blocking her signal. The chief walked in with a letter.

"Hey, chief, what's up?" Sakaki asked.

"Got a letter for Robin. Catch!" he said as he threw it to Robin. She opened it and read it.

"It's from Raven. She wants me to meet her."


Robin walked down the road towards the location that Raven had specified. In her head, she can still hear the conversation she had with the others before she left.

"Robin, it's a trap! You can't go!" Doujima yelled.

"I have to go. If I don't, Raven will kill Amon. Then she will come after you," Robin explained. They wouldn't take no for an answer.

"We'll come with you, Robin," Karasuma said.

"Yeah, she can't take on all of us," Sakaki said excitedly.

"No, she would kill you all. I wouldn't be able to protect any of you. Besides, she wants me to come alone," Robin said. Michael decided to try once more.

"You don't have to do this. She isn't your responsibility," Michael said.

"This is something I must do. It has been waiting for too long. I must face her alone. I cannot turn my back on it. I must take care of this once and for all," she said.

As she walked to the fight, she started having memories of her and Amon together. Amon. The first time they saw each other at Harry's, Amon giving Robin her glasses, Robin being scolded by Amon in his car, Robin offering Amon a handkerchief, Robin and Amon working at Harry's, Amon watching Robin, Amon walking next to Robin at the hospital, and, finally, Amon comforting Robin with a smile. I won't abandon you, Amon. I will fight for you until the very end, even if it means dying for you.

She finally came upon a building. She burnt a hole in the side. Inside, Raven stood in the dark laughing.

"She's here," she said as she smiled. Robin walked in to the room and saw Raven standing there. "You have finally come, sister. I've been waiting for you."

"Where is Amon?" Robin asked.

"Don't worry. He's right here." She waved her had and Amon, all tied up, floated to her side. He looked very weak.

"Let him go. You got me."

"I won't hurt him if you do exactly as I say, Robin. I want you to listen to me. We are witches alone in this world. No one cares about us. I want you to join me. Together we can take over the witches."

"And kill more people? I don't think so."

"I suppose that we will have to fight each other then. Well, let's go then. Let's see who the stronger sister is."

Hey, there. Sorry if this chapter was a little short. There should at least be one more chapter after this. See ya. Please review.
