Bring it bitch….
Raven quickly looked over the almost sliced up body of Star, her guts were more than likely damaged. Raven knew it would take more than what would be like of her energy.
"That girl was actually smart" The ladies voice maliciously, laughed. Raven tried her hardest to ignore her, and began to try to heal Star. Feeling all the inner tissues beginning to connect then strengthen. Each vein start to intertwine again, as the blood tried to flow in their original paths whilst being cut.
"At the last second she actually tried to protect herself with her energy and succeeded…a little bit. She cackled again. Raven grimaced, same with everyone else, all though their eyes were glued on her, cept Ravens.
"Trying to heal her? Perhaps not Raverous…" Another swing made everyone jump
"RUN!!"
"Its RAVEN GOD DAMN IT!"
All the titans split, running in four different directions, Raven picked up the tall girl and bolted as far as she could. Even after hearing the spine-chilling crush of the building, Raven didn't stop running, until she finally skidded into a dark alley, and proceeded to try and help her dear alien friend. Man, that memory . . . it was so long ago, why did it just come up now? Even though healing Star, her mind managed to weasel it's way far, far away. On a place called Azarath.
A nervous teenager looking no older than 15 stood nervously at a side podium holding a scroll, twitching in nervousness. But in a few milliseconds The crowd roared, she sighed happily. Then turned to the center of attention. The absolutely most amazing four year old walking through the two aisles of the temple's residents, clapping for her.
The four year old was trying to look serious, but you could see easily that her eyes were over filling with amazement and pride, Her name was Raverend Raverous. (Just to tell you, in America it would actually be Raverous Raverend, but I decided I liked the Asian version better with the last name first)
The young four year old walked to the alter, knowing very well what was to happen next. The very old temple master was to give her a full authorization and a dark warrior marble necklace, she kneeled on the top of the four wooden steps right in front of the honorable place covered by satin curtains, incense of lavender poured heavily out.
"Come in young girl" a heavy, rumbling voice from inside the curtains demanded. Young Raverous was not the type to disobey; hesitantly she walked in, having a huge blast of incense take over her senses. She instantly felt over whelmed, with the candle lights, and all that incense burning away.
"Come closer" Raverous refused to back down now and finally managed to lift and fight through all the satin curtains hanging and the incense burning and becoming so strong she was actually going to faint. She saw a figure kneeling in a brightly colored cloak. She couldn't tell if it was real, or just a illusion of delusion. But alas the hood came off… now she really thought she was dreaming.
"always so over whelming the first time isn't it?" it was the living legend, Roth Rezarend, the only OTHER being on Azarath to have a name which both last name AND first name started with "R"'s or, at least to whoever she had met. Raven rubbed he eyes, was this really?
"congratulations Raverous beat my record by fiver years" and Raverous just stared. The lady looked young, with short wild dark purple hair. Lavender eyes with a twinkle of amusement. And a smirk of defiance, with a bright red crystal in the middle of her forehead.
"I really don't know WHY they put all this insence in here, but hey I'm surprised you haven't passed out. Plus all this stuff stinks like klohdier" the young woman emphasized on the heavily accented Azarath swear word, despite a four year old being around.
"these damn robes too, god. . . can't we ever just Gon chi fichy, muy bien, ni saan, give the person the damn beads then get ON with our lives instead of all this fancy shit, I mean the walking, alter, sutra saying is fine, but GOD this insence is making me want to PUKE! Stupid Klodier priests , YA!! THAT'S RIGHT! KLODIER!! WHEN WILL YOU ALL JUST DIE??!! SELECT SOME NEW DAMN ONES! ALL OF YOU! KLODIER!! DAMN YOU WUENSHING ITAH KLODIER PRIESTS!! YAH!! YOU HEARD WHAT I SAID!! WELL YOU KNOW WHAT? THIS PRODIGY ALSO AGREES WITH ME!!"
the young woman shouted through the curtains at the people outside. Despite the four year old inauguration. But, young Raverous was sucking this all in. And, she was admiring the living legend even more, and giggled. Roth stopped shouting and looked down and grinned.
" ni shi huan? Wo shi ni, si kan hon dwoa" The lady leaned down to Raverous's height, Raverous blushed
"wo. . . bu tzi dow, ni shi huan klodier?" the young four year old said nervously, unsure of what to say. Roth slightly laughed.
"Ni relax wo si nida lao shi" Roth winked. Raverous couldn't believe what she just heard… and. . . she did what any other person would do
she fainted . . . her living hero going to be her teacher. But before she totally passed out, she felt herself being picked up and Roth nodding to the same teenage blue haired girl.
"Great job shior, those sutras sounded great, now I can't even SAY sutra without sounding graceful ya know what I mean?" the tall young woman winked. Shior blushed and immediately bowed
"t-thank you so much Rezarend Itah it means "higher"
" please, just Roth "
RAVEN!! GET OUT OF THE WAY" Raven snapped back into reality. Only to feel Cyborgs big burly body heave into her just before the building got knocked down.
Damn, how could she get so caught up in that ONE memory? She had vowed almost never to think about them. Just about the future and the present, but never the past. It was an oath she made when she left that place, never to return.
OOF!!
"Raven are you Ok?" Cyborg asked breathlessly, but he was more concerned about why she didn't get out of the way, it was like she was in a trance or some thing. Weird, very, very, very weird. Raven was sweating dearly. . . how could she get so caught up? It nearly caused her her life, and Star's too.
Raven looked into her arms where her friend lay. Her major wounds have healed, but still cuts lay there bleeding. She heard sparks. . . when she did turn around her eye's lay opened. Cyborg's leg was cut in half. " Cyborg . . ."
"Its ok, I can always get another one right?" He said breathlessly, trying to catch his breath. Raven felt a pang of guilt hit her stomach. But she shook it off that bitch, she is going to REALLY get it now
"yo, Rae? You Ok girl?" Cyborg asked seeing a sudden very, VERY irritated look came across Raven's face.
"Cy, keep Star safe. I got some old issues to take care of with this. . . thing" Raven growled, shoving Star into his hands. Getting up, brushing off dust and debris off her shorts and jacket. Then began to run over to where Robin and BB were fighting for their life. About something they knew absolutely nothing about. Raven began to run back to where all the action was at. But in her mind she knew something very bad. I wasted so much of my energy just keeping Star from dieing, I might not have enough energy to take this monster down. And my hand to hand combat isn't that good. . . GOD DAMN IT! I knew I should've trained harder in that area. But I have to think up of something, and FAST! Raven continued running quickly, hoping that her luck wouldn't run out. Which it almost always did.
"sure Rae, I'll protect her with everything I got" Cyborg put a serious look on his face, charging up his cannon. Then froze
"WAIT YOU KNOW THAT GIRL??"
!!!!!
"HA!" Robin threw an electric disk toward the every staying sillouette.
"You are truly foolish human" another fucking wind gust. Robin ran out of the way. "BB RUN!" Both him and his team mate crashed into the sidewalk, hitting the ground from the blasted Razor wind.
"DUDE! Can't we do something other THAN run? I mean, I'm not a track star or anything" BB yelled throwing his hands in the air, being extremely animated.
"I WANT TO ATTACK!! Isn't their anything that can DEFLECT that wind? Like an army of gerbils that could be our shields?" Robin growled and shook his head.
"nope, it's like that wind can cut through anything, including your army of gerbils"
"YEA, but-
"AND US!"
"damn . . . the gerbils wouldn't be good martyrs anyways"
"shut up, where's star? Where's Cy? Where's rae?" Robin tiredly said. But more frustrated than tired really. He had hardly fought this opponent for 10 MINUTES! And he was already getting tired. What the HELL was going on?
that opponent lady has some sort of machine that deals with her fan that sucks energy out of the victim's muscles, then in places in herself. Making her tornadoes thingies more powerful than ever before. After the victim has been sucked with all their energy, she makes a tornado, wind gust thing so powerful that it sends you to Cambodia to work at refugee camps and leave your comrades helpless.
I'm just a wuss.
She's pyching myself out about a stupid girl with a GIGANTIC fan, making the victim a hopeless case. Then after succeeding on making her victim a hopeless case with a defeated ego she keeps them as a slave, making sure that FOREVER that they are phyched out and can never be able to fight again
D) I'm going Insane
Robin growled at at option D. . . which was the most reasonable option. He watched as BB scratched his head thinking of stupid possibilities. Robin just rolled his eyes; he really didn't need this nonsense right now. But as soon as his eyes reached the street, he got shocked. "What the HELL is that civilian DOING THERE?" Robin gasped at the figure standing right in the middle of the street.
"actually that's Raven in her new clothes and she is standing right in the path of that crazy lady and her wind" BB stated pointedly. Robin sighed "oh"
"OH YEA!! I KNEW THAT FIRST! BEAT THAT SPANDEX BOY! BEAT THAT!!" BB shouted glee fully. Finally the realization hit them both.
"RAVEN WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING OUT THERE!!" they both shouted simultaneously.
"GET HERE RAE! YOU'RE GOING TO KILL YOURSELF!"
"DO YOU HAVE A DEATHWISH? HIDE! RUN!! RUN LIKE A LITTLE CHICKEN!" BB yelled turning in a chicken for special effects. But Raven didn't seem to hear, or more like she didn't WANT to.
Raven stood, refusing to budge. Standing in front of the silouette from ontop of the building. Her face was grim. Her jacket covering her lips but emphasing on her eyes. Which were so dead serious that if looks could kill. . . this would definitely kill all your jokes. "Come on out" she growled. The lady made no answer. Raven growled again, then howled
"GET DOWN HERE SHIOR!" Raven stood her ground. Soft real wind wisked her hair to the side. The silence didn't penetrate Raven's disposition. Finally the sun just went down a few inches. To show her face. The lady laughed.
"so you DO remember me"
A tall girl in red robes. Now long blue hair, tied in a high pony-tail. With one long red bang hanging down her face. Pale skin, with a black choker one her neck. Hands delicately bandaged. But unforgettable cruel lavender eyes.
"You have changed a lot since I last saw you Reverend "
"Same to you Shior"
"I see you resided on pathetic earth"
"and I see you are no longer much of a sutra priest for Wuenshing"
" ah, but you are still part of the Roth warriors I presume?" Shior tapped her chin eyeing the crystal on Ravens forehead.
"I can't leave the guild, if I could I would've tossed out this crystal a long time ago"
"no you wouldn't"
"yes I would"
"no you would never-"
""yes, I would've thrown it away so I would never have to argue about throwing it away with a stubborn imbecile"
"but if you did throw away that crystal, you would be throwing away dear memories of teacher" Now that seemed to hit raven, even though she stood still, her shoulders rose and her eyes widened a little a bit. Ok, a lot. But sooner than later, narrowed down to angered slits.
"leave my teacher out of this"
"or was it your love? I forget, but it was so obvious" Shior sneered, hopping down from the building landing gracefully on the street. As she began to swagger with slow small steps.
"You really loved that pathetic person way too much. Everyone knew it. Admit it, but ALWAYS remember how you ki --KABAM!" Shiors demeaning sentence was immediately cut off from a black "x" blast thrown at her with such force. Shior coughed from the smoke. I was barely able to block that, what the hell? Shior looked over to about 20 yards away as a seething Raven, legs apart, fist clenched and shoulders hunched. With eyes flaring fire.
" you keep Roth OUT OF THIS!" Raven seethed very loudly. Shior grinned cruelly now knowing that she finally broke Raven's cool ground.
"it was unrequited am I wrong?" Shior began again. Raven hissed, hands beginning to glow an unhealthy black. " Rob? What is going on over there? Cuase I think Rae's going PHYCO!" Beast boy whimpered. Robin looked over worried as well, but realized a plan.
"don't worry, BB just stay back a little while longer kay?" Roibn said getting to his feet. BB nodded obediently beginning to crawl back into the alley " dude, I will have NO problem hiding from Raven's wrath man". Robin smiled then waited patiently.
" face it, Roth was your teacher, didn't we all admire her. But she was a bitch, admit it. And you did us all a favor in the demon incident am I wrong?" Shior tapped her chin, but as soon as the last word was echoed massive black energy shot out at her in a whipping lash, fast and directing right at her head. "SHIT!" Shior ducked again, but only to get her cheek cut heavily. "OW!! KERBAM!! The rest of the whipping blast hit the road. Making a rather long dent, with lots of debris and smoke shooting everywhere.
"cough cough god damned kid" Shior grumbled as she tried to see through the spinning smoke. She squinted, looking around. But then saw a deathly black glow, coming fast from behind her. "HAH!" Shior hit one of the black glows with her staff-holding-a-very-bad-ass-fan. SHINGG!!! The black glow exploding along with the sinister energy coming from the staff. The smoke blew away, cutting into Ravens fist which originally held the black glow. Raven was absolutely MELTING with anger, her iris's shrank with her pupils shrinking to try and stay proportional to the iris's. the neck part of her jacket was tilting down, showing her teeth grinding together. Shior smiled maliciously.
"so now the baby wants to play"
"Joder, spa ni ko" Raven hissed as the blood from her bleeding fist began to drip in between the both of them, with heavy droplets thudding on the ground. Shior pretended to be utterly surprised. "oh my, you're going to kill me. Well Raverous, are you going to kill me just like you killed your beloved teacher? Just like that? With blood smeared all over the pla—"
"NI KLODIER!! GAN NI! JODER SPA KO! MONG JI BITZI KAMA SAAN!!!" Raven roared in in-comprehendible Azarath, seemingly so angry that English completely vanished from her vocabulary. Only spitting the language she was born with. Shior pouted
"now isn't that a bit harsh?" RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR! Raven finally began her vicious attacks, throwing her fists at the woman, throwing them as hard as she could. Raven didn't honestly care if her hand had several deep cuts on it and was bleeding like crazy.
She didn't care that this monster was blocking every single one of her attacks
She didn't care if she was squandering her last remaining energy
She didn't care that her hand to hand combat wasn't so good like Robin.
And she didn't care if she couldn't speak English anymore
But She DID care that Star almost died
She DID care that this monster was still LIVING
she DID care that this THING was demeaning someone very special
and she DID care that she was GOING TO KILL THIS THING NO MATTER WHAT!
And this SHIOR WAS GOING TO DIE!
"JODER!!!" Raven screamed. Jamming her fist into the staff that blacked Shior. Shior only smiled, stepping back from the frightful Raven advancing with nothing keeping her back. With the sun setting in this late afternoon, raven' boots stepped in alignment with Shior's sandals. Back and forth, Raven's black fists clashing with the monsters staff.
"c'mon, isn't this quite pointless Raverous? Your hands are bleeding terribly" Shior said in mock care. Raven seethed "JODER!!" KLODIER" Raven shouted at her again. Her voice dripping with venom and fire. Raven was in so much blind rage that she failed to notice her hands turning numb with cuts. Blood had already soaked her jacket cuffs. Blood had mercifully dripped onto the street. The glowing sun was casting the golden reflection of itself on the puddles,
Raven had failed to notice how her hands refused to stay much in a fist anymore, how her knuckles ached, messily cut here and there. Stepping back. Shior began to attack. Using with both hands on the staff began to try and hit raven with two ends of the staff. Raven now began to block, feeling the sting of the staff. But Raven vicious with an undying flame of anger wasn't ready to back down. Refused to back down. SHING, BAM, WHAM! Blocking with her arms. Her hands no longer available. Finally Shior leaned slightly close to Raven's fuming face.
"you're so cute when you're angry" shior said seductively right in Raven's fang bared face. Raven gasped, ash her old eyes tried to return to normal, back to her normal "WTF?!?!" face.
"almost TOO cute, I can see why you were Roth's favorite"
Shior grinned maliciously as her guard was set down for a nano second, as Raven leaned back, her arms dropping ever so slightly, as she leaned forward. "too bad I'm going to have to bust it"
"wha---" CRRRAAAAAAAAACCCCKKKKK Raven's surprised face etched up toward the heavens as her feet lifted off the ground. The lower end of shior's upward turned staff followed through with the heavy blow, trailing behind the thin, starting to go thick lines of blood coming from Raven's mouth. now THAT was a hard blow to the chin. . . Shior smiled, mouth full of fangs.
"got cha girl"
With a quick, fluid, and very powerful move the lower end of the staff whipped around and clocked Raven right on right side of her head. BAM! KIK! Raven landed harshly upon the ground, panting. Holding her head which was ringing VERY loudly, pounding extremely hard and painful no doubt. "klooooooooooooddddddddiiiiiiieeeeeeerrr" Raven managed to cough. Her chin was bleeding, along with the splotches of blood on her mouth and face. Shior grinned and lifted her staff, wind whirring around the end pointed at Raven.
"it's time that you die Reverend—" Shior began to dictate with an insane overtone.
The wind spinning faster and faster around the end of the staff, it began to spin so fast that it looked exactly like a spear.
"I'll take that crystal on your head too, it will make a great souvenir" Finally the wind spear looked solid, that it wasn't just wind. It looked exactly like silver. A very very sharp spear. Pointed directly at Raven. Raven was curling up, wrapping her arms around her head which was hurting so much. Pounding so much, she couldn't hear a thing, the back of her eyes felt like they were going to pop.
"DIE RAVEROUS REVEREND! AND STAY DEAD!" Shior 's arm was thrown back to get the full momentum of killing our favorite Empath. CRAAAAAAKKKKKKKK!
Robin's steel toed boot connected straight with Shior's head with full momentum. Making her fly straight to the ground with free fall on her side. Robin swooped down, scooped up Raven in one arm and threw back and electro disk with his other hand, blasting away with the exploded smoke coming from all sides.
"SHIT!" Shior screamed, holding her head painfully. "I forgot about her damn reinforcements" she grumbled, looking around feebily for her staff-carrying-bad-ass-fan in it.
Robin ducked behind a big piece of debris. Holding a struggling Raven in his hands.
"Raven, Raven are you ok?" he asked looking at her cut up hands covering her head. Robin even more worried when she didn't answer. "Raven, please answer" silence again was answered for him. Finally he shook her a tiny bit. Finally Raven's eye's opened. Her eyes were still crazed, her hands clung to the sides of her head. "R-Raven, oh my god, are you ok?" Robin asked now beginning to become worried. " k—klodier" Raven breathed.
"what was that?" Robin was met only with a struggling Raven, trying to get out of his arms" NONO, YOU'RE GOING TO KILL YOURSELF!!" He shouted as quietly as possible, trying to be quiet.
"Gan ni, wo si DA SHIOR!" Raven spatted back. Her words sounded so insane that Robin thought he was talking to a deranged Taihiti with rabis. yup that bad "Raven, YOU'RE NOT GOING BACK THERE!" Raven still struggled and also seethed what seemed to be nonsense words at robin. Finally he managed to grab her shoulders and face her face at his.
"NO, I won't LET you go back there and kill yourself OK? You're already a FRICKIN mess. Please calm down" Robin looked sincerely into Raven's anger-crazed eyes. Her fangs subsided. She now had an emotionally pained look on her face. Something dinged in Robin's head. He looked slightly shocked. " l---l---let me GO!" Raven closed her eyes as she coughed out English words and began to try and pull herself from Robin. Robin finally pulled himself back into reality.
"Raven, no what's wrong?" Robin tried to say calmly, gripping onto Raven's arms, not wanting to let her kill herself, by Shior, OR herself. "j-just let me go PLEASE!" Raven began to tremble, Robin felt his own face fall a bit, once he realized something wet dripped onto his arm. Raven refused to look up. "just let me go". Robin loosened his grip, his mouth forming to a saddened understanding line. "Raven, it's o.k"
"BUT WHY?" she shouted painfully, Robin cringed at how loud her voice was, but tried to ignore that the menace could've heard her. He answered back softly "because I want to help very much". Raven stopped trembling. She looked back up at him.
"You're not lying are you?" Big lavender eyes stared into the whiteness of the mask. Dark lavender eyes, silently overflowing with tears. Spiked black hair shook in the foggy air. "never" everything seemed still, like as if everything was standing on a needle. Finally her emotionless shell broke, her face stretched in a pained frowned, eye's squinting as tears flowed out. But never making a sound. "I'm sorry" she breathed
"I'm so sorry, so sorry" she coughed out, trying not to sob. Robin felt his insides completely twist, then have needles continue to stab them while twisting. She seemed to be more talking to herself then to him. But he couldn't help himself, and he pulled Raven into his chest, wrapping his arms around her back. Raven didn't even bother to struggle,but continued to resite the apology over and over again. But Robin realized something about his teammate today.
She wasn't an emotionless, cruel, pessimistic shell.
She was a human
With emotions, with some humor, with care for others, with anger.
Who was self tormented and selfless enough to want no one to know, so whe wouldn't bother them with her own problems.
Who felt pain, who had a harsh past, who had the feeling to kill those who threatened the ones she cared about, the one's who dare mess with waters of her past.
Just like him. . .
And he realized, that he right now really wanted to know more about her, and possibly, help her out. Dear wonder boy ALMOST forgot about Star Fire for once.
