DISCLAIMER: I do not own the Teen Titans...or do I? no, no i dont.

NOTES: SSJEasterBunny, to answer ur question, they beat the Fallen Angels 8 years ago. I'll go more into the flashbacks in the next 2 chapters. BTW I forgot to add this to the first chapter. so for the sake of simplicity, the titans are all 19. I might have gone a little overboard with this chapter, but belive me, I cut out a lot of things I was planning to put in. so be warned! It's quite brutal. and just because I feel I need to tell you readers, No, I don't hate Raven. I was flooded with ideas from emails and friends saying what I should do.

Chapter 4

Raven Breaks Down

Robin sighed heavily as he slumped on the couch. Tears pouring out now, he was unable to stop them. After ten minutes, Robin regained control over himself and looked back into the camera.

"Two friends in three days...we set up a memorable grave next to Beastboy's for Cyborg, as well as all the people that Riker killed that day...He took Raven from us next...when we found her body, we could barely recognize her..."

Flashback

Robin sat with Starfire on the couch in the living room, his arm around her shoulders. Starfire was crying into his chest. Cyborg and Beastboy's death were too much for her to bear. Robin looked towards the door, worried about Starfire, and just as worried about Raven. Since she found out about Cyborg's death, she had been locked in her room, refusing to come out.

Raven's Room

Raven sat in a cross-legged position, lightly chanting to herself. She was attempting to contact the spirit world, to find Cyborg and Beastboy. After a long hour, she reached the spirit world. A long road was in front of her, filled with people walking towards a large castle in the distance. Raven flew above the mass of people, searching for the souls of her friends. Raven gazed upon the mass of souls for hours, which were only a few minutes in the real world. Raven floats to the ground, her head hung low. There was no sign of Cyborg or Beastboy anywhere. She knew it was impossible for them to have made it all the way through the line in a few days, but she had flown to the castle in the distance and back several times. Raven breaks her concentration and opens her eyes, to stare into the red, glowing eye of Cyborg. Raven's eyes grow wide with surprise and she backs up and bumps into something. Turning around, she receives another surprise, Beastboy.

"Cyborg? Beastboy? What's going on? How can you..." Raven started to say.

"Shut up. We've come for you Raven. It's time for you to go." Cyborg said harshly.

"W...what are you talking about?" Raven said, backing away from Cyborg and Beastboy.

Beastboy landed a hard backhand on Raven's face, knocking her to the ground.

"He said shut up. You never did listen to anyone, Raven." Beastboy said.

Raven got to her feet, rubbing her right cheek, her anger starting to rise. She started to chant her infamous words. At this point, she didn't care weather they were her friends or not. No one talked to her or smacked her like that. Ever.

"Azerath, Metrion, Zen..."

Raven was immediately hit by a huge metal fist in the stomach, lifting her off the ground ad knocking the wind completely out of her.

"Don't think so Rae. You forget, we know all of your weaknesses. Dr. Light was right. You need to get shorter magic words." Cyborg said tauntingly.

Cyborg shifted his hand into his sonic cannon and aimed it at Raven's head, while Beastboy changed into his favorite gorilla form. Walking over to Raven, who was on her knees clutching her stomach, Beastboy roughly grabbed Raven by her neck, lifting her off the ground.

"We thought you should know, Raven. We never liked you. None of us did. Robin, Starfire, Cyborg. We all hated you. But we put up with you because we felt sorry for you. But now, it's time for you to go." Beastboy said.

Raven stared at Beastboy, struggling to get some breath but failing. The punch from Cyborg and Beastboy choking her didn't help either. Thoughts blazed through Raven's mind.

"Is it true? Does everyone hate me? NO! He's trying to trick you. It's not true. It can't be."

Raven's thoughts were cut off as Beastboy hurled her through a nearby wall. Raven crashed through into Cyborg's room, slamming into Cyborg's battery charger, causing it to malfunction and let out a small explosion, toppling over and falling on Raven's left leg, the bones snapping loudly. Raven cried out in pain and tried to lift the heavy machinery off of her leg with her powers. Cyborg blasted her in the side before she could, the laser leaving a wicked burn on her right side, scorching through her cloak and body suit. Cyborg walked calmly over to her and lifted the charger off of Raven, revealing a visibly broken leg, the bone sticking out of her skin, right around the kneecap. Cyborg lifted Raven up by her neck and brought her close to his face.

"Bye Raven. Hope you had a good life." He said as he threw Raven out his room's window. Raven crashed through the window, catching a glass shard in her left shoulder. Raven turned in mid air and saw the ground rushing up at her. She closed her eyes tightly and braced for impact. It never came. She opened her eyes and saw she was in the arms of Riker. He was smiling evilly at her, eyeing her body up and down. Raven tried to struggle, but gasped in pain as Riker pushed in the glass shard in her shoulder deeper. Her leg was in complete agony, and she was helpless to do anything to defend herself from the mad man. Riker struck her hard on the back of her head, knocking her out.

TITAN TOWER

Robin and Starfire heard the glass shatter and rushed to the door leading to the Titan's rooms. Robin ran towards the door, expecting it to open. It didn't. Robin crashed into the door, and was hit by Starfire who was running behind him.

"It's locked!" Robin shouted in frustration.

"Let me try." Starfire said, gently moving Robin out of the way.

Using her Tameranian strength, Starfire punched the door down, and the two ran to Raven's room, only to find it completely wrecked. The two titans walked carefully through the hole in the wall and gasped as they saw Beastboy and Cyborg standing there, staring out the window. Both had tears rolling down their cheeks. The two turned and stared at Robin and Starfire. It was Cyborg that spoke first.

"He used us...like we were his puppets..."

With those words, Cyborg and Beastboy slowly faded out of view, leaving behind Robin and a very confused Starfire.

"What were they, Robin?"

"They were Cyborg's and Beastboy's souls. I told you Riker could summon dead souls and use them as weapons...he used their souls..." Robin replied. "Come on Star! We need to find Raven before it's too late!"

Starfire lifted Robin and they flew out the window to the ground below.

ELSEWHERE

Raven came painfully awake; the glass in her shoulder was now so far embedded that it was now sticking out the front part of her shoulder. She sat up and quickly fell back; the pain in her leg was intense, nearly causing her to pass out again. She froze as she heard heavy footsteps coming towards her.

"I see you are awake. We can begin now." Riker's raspy voice called out.

Through the pain, Raven managed to reply.

"Start what?"

"You'll see." Came his reply.

Raven strained to see Riker, but he was still out of sight. She looked at herself, and realized that the burn on her side wasn't hurting at all.

"Duh. The burn's deep. It would have burned all my senses in that area. What does Riker want with me? He killed Beastboy and Cyborg on sight, yet he brought me here." Raven thought to herself. She looked herself over and saw that most of her body suit was gone, barely covering her most intimate parts. Her eyes grew wide, as she realized what he meant by starting soon. He was going to rape her. She started to crawl away; the pain in of her broken leg slowed her down immensely. The footsteps started again, and Raven gave up crawling and turned to face him, ready to fight to the death. Riker strode into view, his evil smile never wavering from Raven's body.

"I won't let you rape me. I'd rather die." Raven said, trying to cover herself with her arms.

"Ha! As if I would touch an underdeveloped girl such as yourself. I have better taste in the women I take. And you are not one of them." Riker said.

Raven looked down, her cheeks red with embarrassment. She looked up into Riker's blazing red eyes.

"Then what did you mean, get started?" She asked.

Riker walked over to Raven and reached behind him and pulled out an eighteen-inch serrated combat knife. He held it towards Raven.

"You said you'd rather die, so I'm going to make it as painful as possible." Riker said, advancing on Raven.

He picks Raven up by grabbing her shoulder, his fingers pushing the glass shard out and wrapping his fingers around the hole in her shoulder. Raven cried out in pain as she was lifted off the ground by the wound. Riker grabbed Raven's broken leg and brutally twisted it, snapping more bones, and causing Raven to pass out from the pain. Riker scowled in anger and smacked Raven hard across her face, waking her instantly. Riker gave her a patronizing smile and plunged the knife into her right leg, pulling the serrated blade down to her knee, her skin cut like a hot knife through butter, blood spilling out and splashing on the floor. Raven's face was twisted into an expression of agony; the pain was too intense for her to even make a sound. Riker threw her down on the ground and watched as she tried to use her powers to heal the wound.

"I have an easier way to heal that up. My powers are quite faster then yours." Riker said, his face twisted into an evil smile. "I assume Robin told you about my fire powers, yes?"

Riker extended his hand and laid it on Raven's leg, and immediately, a black flame engulfed the wound, burning it shut. Raven found her voice and let out an inhuman scream. Riker laughed and the flame disappeared.

"Did that hurt? Good. Let's continue, shall we?"

Riker again picked Raven up by her shoulder wound and turned her around. He stabbed her again with the knife, this time in her kidney. Riker brutally twisted the knife and withdrew it, the serrated edge taking pieces of her kidney on the way out. Riker dropped Raven suddenly, and walked away from her, leaving Raven to sob silently and painfully on the ground. She would die soon, and she knew it. She silently wished it would end, so the pain would go away. Riker soon came back, carrying a small razor blade. He put the razor in his mouth and picked Raven up, this time not only by her shoulder wound, which by now was twice as big, but also by the kidney wound. He reached in and grabbed the bottom of her spine and carried her into a different room. He threw her down on a table. She landed hard on the table and was immediately grabbed by Riker and strapped down to the table. Taking the razor out of his mouth, Riker moves it towards Raven's eyes. He uses the razor to cut out both eyes, leaving Raven blind and in horrible pain.

"Hurts, doesn't it?" Riker said, his eyes blazing with excitement. "I think it's time we end this."

Riker moves the razor to Raven's throat, and takes his time silting Raven's throat, blood spurting all over Riker's face and upper body. Riker smiles and licks the blood off his lips. He throws the razor away and laughs his evil raspy laugh. Riker then engulfs Raven's body in flames, and then he melts into the ground and disappears, leaving Raven's body to burn. Robin and Starfire arrive in the room a few minutes after. They had followed the trail of Raven's blood. Upon seeing the burning thing on the table, Robin throws a water bomb and the flame is extinguished. He walks to the table, wondering what it was. After a few minutes of examination, he walks back to Starfire.

"I...it was Raven..." He said, his voice cracking as he said it.

"That can not be Raven! It...it cannot be her!" Starfire said.

Starfire took flight and flew out of the room, not wanting to believe what Robin had said.

Robin watched her go, and he walked back to his fallen friend. Robin grimaced as he slid his hands under Raven's burned body and lifted her up. The smell was almost too much to bear, and Robin walked out of the room with Raven. It was time to bury another friend.
