Chapter fourteen – The Cyborg, the Beast and the Raven.

"If you have any plans," shouted Beastboy, running for all he was worth. "Now would be a good time to share!"

"Man," yelled back Cy. "If I did, dontcha think I would've shared them by now?!"

The red Raven scooped the changling up in her fist, grinning cruelly.

"Uhh..OW!" shouted BB as the fist tightened around him. He turned into a snake and slithered out of the grasp, turning into a cheetah upon impact on the ground.

Cyborg was lagging behind slightly. "I can't keep this up much longer!" he complained.

"Well, I prefer this to the alternative!" said BB, turning his head towards the beast. His feet scrambled.

He looked forward, that second too late. "WHAAAA!!"

"B!" shouted Cyborg as Beastboy disappeared from view, down a crevis. The red Raven suddenly stopped.

"Rrr.." it said, shrinking back down into a girl. "AAH!"

The petite figure crumpled on the floor.

"Raven?" said Cyborg edging closer to the girl, uncertainly. The face looked up.

"C-Cy?" said Raven shaking her head. "W-what happened?"

There was a pause.

"Where's Beastboy?!"

"Rave..he sort of…" Cy said awkwardly. Ravens eyes searched the metal man's face for an answer.

"No…" she whispered quietly. "No, he's got to be okay."

Her eyes were full of pleading. "Right?"

"I don't know."

The Azarathian burst into tears.

Cyborg felt that uneasy sensation again.

'This is what happened last time…' he thought, his eyes glancing behind him. There was nowhere to run to.

Suddenly, the crying subdued. "OH…NO…"

Cyborg's head jerked up. "Oh no," he said.

Raven was pulsating again. Her eyes became whiter and whiter. She began to grow.

"N-not…again…" she said in a voice much to demonic for her own. Cyborg suddenly clicked it.

"THAT'S IT!" he said triumphantly. "It's the negative emotions!"

"No duh!" said a voice behind him.

"B!" said Cy, turning around to see a green pterodactyl. "You're alright!"

"I'm fine!"

"Raven, she turned into herself again then when she saw you were gone…she…"

"Oh no." reiterated Beastboy.

Robin paced the room impatiently.

"What's taking them so long." He said, tapping his fingers together, his arms behind his back. "Something's not right."

"R-robin…"

"Not now Star."

"But R-robin…"

"WHAT?!" said the boy wonder looking towards Starfire. He gasped. Star tumbled backwards, falling over the bed. He caught her.

Raven had started to glow red. Her chakra was glowing pure white in the middle of her forehead, as she began to pulse.

"I do not think this is good." Said Starfire, clinging onto Robin's cape.

"What's going on in there?!" said Robin, his hand resting on his belt. Starfire gasped.

"The transmitter!" she said, grabbing it out of Robins back pocket. He blushed slightly, but there was no time for that.

Starfire opened it. "Cyborg! CYBORG!" she yelled into it.

Robin's eyes grew wider as Raven's hair began to turn white. 'Something bad is happening.

"Star." He said, looking into her eyes. "Give me the transmitter."

- - - - - - - - -

"It's no use." Said Beastboy, reforming and sitting on the floor, hands over his eyes. "I've tried everything."

"I know, man." Said Cy, holding BB's shoulder. He shook it. "We can't give up though. Raven wouldn't give up on us."

"I know." He said, his hands drooping. He looked over at the transforming girl. "But I just don't know what to do…"

"Me neither." Concluded Cy.

BEEP BEEP BEEP.

Cyborg moved his arm up to his face.

"CYBORG!!!" came Star's voice loudly. Cyborg nearly fell backwards into the crevis.

"Star. Give me the transmitter." Came Robin's voice. "Yo Cy? You there?"

"I'm here, man."

"We got a situation here. Taking it you're having problems inside?"

"Tell me about it." Sighed Cyborg. "Raven is going all red and crazy. We just can't beat her. But at least we know now what affects her. Negative emotions."

"Wow." Said Robin. Cyborg could tell even from here that he was running his hand through his hair. "Well, bad news is..she's turning into something that resembles a demon, over here."

"WHAT?!" said Cy and BB at the same time.

"Yeah. With white hair, red skin and.."

"TRIGON!" shouted Cyborg and Beastboy, again in unison.

"Who?!" said Robin.

"Raven's father. He's a demon…a bad one too…believe me, you don't want to mess with him." Said Beastboy, glancing nervously at the transforming Raven.

"Well, it looks like this is it guys. You'd better get out of there, and fast. Me and Star won't be able to hold him off for very long."

"We'll be there as fast as we can. You might want to take Raven outside…if it is Trigon then he'll destroy the tower."

"Alright. Get here soon."

"AND BE CAREFUL!" came Starfire's voice.
