Chapter 3- Zelda strikes

It was a stormy night as Raven entered the living room of the tower. Everything looked to be the same as when she had left. The other Titans where asleep and Raven walked over to the couch and opened Robins laptop. She began typing something and was soon looking over the profiles of the Titans.

"With this, destroying the Titans will be a piece of cake." She thought to herself. Just than the door to the room flew open and Beast boy came into the kitchen half asleep. He opened the refrigerator and began to drink milk form the carton. He stopped and looked at Raven in amazement. He quickly sprang to life and ran over to the couch and put his head close to Ravens ear.

"Oh. Robin is going to kill you if he finds out that you were playing on his computer. Are there any games on it? Come on, let me see."

"You are getting on my nerves. I'm in the middle of something important."

"What could be so important that you would need to use Robins computer at 3 am?"

"I'm looking into how to destroy you."

Beast boy stands up and looks at Raven, with a bit of fear in his eyes. She stands up and looks him in the eye and raises one hand to his chest. Beast boy starts to back up and smile his big stupid grin. Raven smirks and begins to laugh.

"I had you going, didn't I?"

Beast boy's jaw hits the floor and he begins to laugh. He turns to walk out of the room.

"I'm going back to bed. Maybe you should do the …"

Before he could finish his sentence, he falls to the ground. Raven begins to laugh uncontrollably as she walks over to Beast boy. She kicks him over onto his side as she begins to glow black and her face forms back into Zelda's. She leans down to Beast boy and his face begins to show signs of panic. Zelda raises a hand to his face and begins her mothers trademark chant. Beast boy passes out.

Raven is standing at the top of the bridge looking at the tower. She is preparing herself for the conflict that will soon begin. She takes flight and lands on the roof of the tower. Zelda is standing at the far end of the tower holding the beaten body of Beast boy.

"Let my friend go! You have no right to harm them."

Zelda looks over at Raven with an evil smirk on his face.

"If you insist."

Zelda lets go of Beast boy's shirt and his body begins to fall like a lifeless rag doll. Zelda turns to face her mother and the sound of Beast boy hitting the water makes her begin to laugh. Raven throws her cloak out of her way as she sends a wave of black magic towards Zelda but it is easily deflected.

"Don't you get it, mom? I'm trying to save you. I'm making things right."

"No! You are just trying to let out your rage in the wrong ways. Nothing has happened to me in this time."

"And I wont let it!"

Zelda rushes at her mother and takes her by the throat. Raven holds out her hand and forces her daughter to fly back into the door of the roof. Raven walks over to her with a look of rage in her eyes.

"You took away the life of one of my friends."

"You call him a friend? He would have left you to die by Death stroke's hands."

"Death stroke?"

"He's the man that you call Slade. He will kill you if I don't stop him."

"How do you plan on doing this?"

"By destroying the Titans before he has the chance."

Zelda uses the same spell that her mother had just used to throw her over the edge of the tower. Raven blacks out before she hits the water. Zelda walks over to the edge with a sad look on her face as she takes Raven's shape once more.

"I'm sorry mother, but it has to be this way."

She turns to walk back inside.

Beast boy swims back over to the edge of the island that the tower is on. He spits out a small fish.

"Man, I have to warn the others."

"Of what?"

Beast boy turns to see Slade standing over him. Slade kicks beast boy back into the water and begins to climb the tower.

--

"I think she's coming around."

Raven sees a dark figure standing over her. As her eyes begin to focus she wonders where she is. She is surprised to see Aqua lad sitting next to her bed. She sits up and quickly grabs her ribs with a painful scream. Aqua lad pushes her down.

"You had a nasty fall. I'm not a doctor but I'd say that you have a few cracked ribs. You should be fine in a few days."

"Thank you, but I have to warn the others about Zelda."

"You mean Slade? You must have hit your head harder than I thought. Don't worry I called Robin on the communicator (holding it up) when I saw his boat land on the side of your island. A few moments later you fell into my ocean."

"No, there is another. She has to be…"

Raven passes out again. Aqua lad sighs and continues to watch over her.

Slade enters the tower to find the living area vacant. He walks over to the laptop that Zelda had left sitting on the table. As her reaches down to turn it on a birdarang scraps the side of his mask and he turns to see the titans assembled and ready to fight. Raven snaps at the sight of him and tackles him and they fall out of the window of the tower. The Titans stand there looking confused. Cyborg looks over at Robin.

"What was that about?" asks Cyborg.

"No idea. But it can't be good," replies Robin.

Starfire walks over to the window and looks down.

"I don't see them anywhere."

Robin looks down at the water and than back to Cyborg and Star.

"We have to find them. Slade could kill her. Wait, where's Beast boy?"

Cyborg looks over and notices that he isn't there.

"Maybe he's still in his room. I'll go get him."

"When you find him, you two start looking along the North harbor. Star and I will take South harbor. We have to find her."

Robin takes hold of Starfire's hand and she flies out the window. Cyborg begins to walk out of the living room when he spots some blood on the floor. He takes a sample of it and uses the scanner on his arm to analyze it. The name "Beast boy" flashes on the screen. His face is over taken by a sudden look of horror.

"This isn't good."

That's it for this chapter. Not great but at least it's about to get good. Next chapter when I get a chance. Later.
