Readers-

Sorry for not writing for so long.... been waiting for help on this scene! Oh, and To-the-max, the name of the group is the Seers, not the Steers. I do not include cows in my story. Thank you. Anyways..... We left off at "I'm utterly sorry...."

Chapter 22: Alexiel's and Raven's battles

Vie turned his hand palm up, and motioned as if he was waiting for the Seers to begin.

The Seers tensed.

A sincere smile slowly crept across Galia's face when he stared into my eyes.

I wasn't sure whether to smile back or not; I would definitely look him up if he wasn't about to try to beat my face in.

Robin: "Titans! GO!"

Each Titan paired off to fight. Starfire took Gust, Raven took Crow, Cy took Wisp, BB took Primal, Robin took Dove, and I (of course) paired off with Galia.

He really had the loincloth thing going for him.

In a husky voice, Galia said, "So, blood sister. Let's see what you've got!"

I threw mental energy at his head, but he mirrored me and struck back. Our energy collided; white against a deep jade green. I pushed with all I had, but he matched me evenly. A drop of sweat rolled off my chin. I pressed my eyes shut and flung all the energy I could gather, but it still wasn't working.

I opened my eyes and broke the connection by stepping to my right. A jade green streak shot off to the horizon faster than a rocket.

Galia took to the sky, and I followed. He shot off toward the city, and I still followed him. We broke through the thick layer of clouds, and he looked back at me and grinned.

'Just wait, blood sister. You'll be all mine.' He thought to me with a smirk.

'What do you mean?'

He did a back flip which positioned him right above me. He wrapped his talons around my ankles. I tried to wriggle free, but that made his talons bite into my skin even more. I dipped my right wing, but that made his center of balance off, and sent us tumbling.

We were falling from the sky.

I flared my wings causing us to do a front flip. He grabbed a hold of one of my arms, then the other, forcing me to fly straight.

'Just wait my blood-sister.'

'Why are you calling me that?'

'We were created to be as one.'

'As one? What are you talking about?'

'We were created at the same time, with the same blood. We were created to be.... as one.'

'Oh, never mind. Tell me. Why are you doing this? Why are we fighting?'

'You are not on our side, and must be.... dealt with.'

He swooped downward, and the icy clouds stung my bare arms. When we broke free, the tower was right below.

He released his hold of my ankles and pushed me toward Earth. I knew I was going to fall, but I was taking down with me, no matter what.

I shot a psychic blast at the membrane of his wing.

It tore his wings to shreds.

He roared in pain and began to spiral downwards too. That's the last thing I knew until the impact.

A bright light behind my eyes, and then, blackness.

(Raven's POV)

Alexiel slammed into the tower.

Blood rolled down her lip. I went to help her, but as soon as I took a step to her, a volleyball pole smacked the backs of my knees, causing me to fall. I rolled, and whirled to see my attacker.

(Of course. It had to be Crow.)

I had not seen Crow since..... well, let's just say I haven't seen him in a very long time. We had been raised together (even though we did not share the same mother). But when I was nine, he left Azarath and I never saw him again.

"This should end quickly." He said.

"Yeah. I seriously doubt it." I replied.

I left him no time to think of a comeback.

"AZARATH, METRION, ZINTHOS!"

I struck him in the chest, hurling him into the concrete ledge that circled the edge of the tower, knocking the wind out of him.

"Oouf."

His head slumped against his chest.

I sneered, and turned my back on him.

I realized my mistake later.

A dark blue energy bolt hit me square between the shoulder blades. This knocked me to my hands and knees.

I heard Crow laugh behind me.

The anger boiled beneath my skin. With difficulty, I suppressed it and stood facing Crow.

"AZARATH, METRION, ZINTHOS!"

I shot an energy bolt at him again, but this time he was ready.

Our energies collided, and my black energy was slowly overtaking the blue. When it finally contacted his chest, he was whipped backward, and thrown to the ground.

I levitated to where he laid, and the second I rose my hand to finish him off, he grabbed a mixture of pebbles and grit into my eyes. My hands flew up to my face to ward off the blow, but I was too late. The pebbles had cut my eyes, and I couldn't see through my own blood. I couldn't fight back!

He punched my right ear.

My head jerked to the left.

He punched me in the stomach, knocking the wind out of me. I sunk to the floor, trying to regain my composure.

My vision began to clear, and I saw a drop of my blood fall from my eyelashes.

I saw his foot swing.

A sharp pain and bright lights from the left side of my head. Then, the bright light turned to black.

Author's Note: This scene isn't over! We still have four fights to go! See you in Chapter 23!
