Chapter 31

How could you have forgotten little old me?

"See you in hell" said Malevolence as his blade descended towards Starfire's head, making the alien girl scream and close her eyes as the blade cut through the air. A loud clang was heard as Malevolence saw a single beam of white protect Starfire, he growled as the light faded and revealed Deathwing, smiling as his sword kept Malevolence's away from Starfire's head.

"Run Star" said Deathwing as he struggled to keep Malevolence's weapon away from her. Starfire looked at him in disbelief as she watched his being forced to down to one knee, sweat had begun to drip from his forehead as he gritted his teeth.

"I SAID GO!" he yelled as he pushed Malevolence away and blasted him in the chest with a single beam of white energy. Starfire snapped back to reality and took off into the air quickly as Deathwing shot forward, his sword transforming into a gleaming white bo staff.

Raven slapped Cyborg across the face making him instantly wake up, rubbing his cheek as it turned red.

"Hey what was that…….Raven is that you?" he asked as he saw her face smiling back at him.

"Hello Cyborg miss me?" replied Raven before Cyborg grabbed her, holding her in a crushing embrace close to his chest.

"I thought I'd never see you again!" he cried as his tears fell onto her hair, making her both frown and smile at the same time.
"You know me can't stay dead no matter what happens" smiled Raven as she eventually tore herself away from the crying Cyborg, "And besides after everything we've seen in the past two years are you surprised to see me alive again?" she asked as she looked at him wipe away any sign of his tears.

"Good point so what's been going down since I went offline?" he asked as he stood back up and looked at Raven.

"My husband is fighting against 'the evil' again…not much really" smiled Raven as she looked at him walk towards her.

"Wow you mean Deathwing is a good guy again?" he asked in confusion as he stood beside her and looked down the street at the destruction caused by the epic battle.

"Deathwing?" asked Raven curiously as she looked up at Cyborg, making him smile sheepishly as he looked back.

"It was the new name he decided to call himself after you died" he said as he rubbed the back of his neck.

"Hmmm suits him strangely" smiled Raven as she returned her eyes to the carnage that was Deathwing's and Malevolence's battle.

Deathwing swung his bo staff with incredible staff, trying to either knock Malevolence's weapon out of his hand or knock the demon onto the ground. Malevolence grinned as he ducked the wild attacks and shot forward, ramming his huge fist into Deathwing's torso. Deathwing felt all the air rush from his chest as Malevolence pushed his fist even deeper into his chest, making blood trickle from Deathwing's mouth as he coughed for air.

"What's the mater running out of breath?" asked Malevolence as he removed his fist from Deathwing's gut, allowing him to slump onto the ground, coughing as he tried to fill his lungs with air. A slight smile appeared on Deathwing's face as his blood left a small puddle of red on the ground, he didn't know why he was smiling as pain lanced through his body but he couldn't stop himself from doing it.

"Don't you ever shut up?" asked Deathwing as he felt a laugh bubble out from his bloody mouth, making Malevolence instantly stop laughing as he watched Deathwing shakily return to his feet. Malevolence growled as he sent Deathwing flying away from him with a furious kick to his face. Deathwing continued to smile even as his body smashed through a wall, even as the pain shot through his already battered body.

"I'm starting to think that wasn't a good idea" he said weakly as he stood up, using his bo staff to support his weight as hundreds of black feathers fell from his tattered wings.

"Your right it wasn't!" yelled Malevolence as he landed on top of Deathwing, driving both of them into the ground with incredible force. Deathwing cried out in pain as he felt Malevolence's talons dig into his flesh, drawing blood as the demon drove him into the ground.

Raven looked up as both her and Cyborg felt the shock wave of the last attack resonate throughout the city, but Raven swore she heard Deathwing cry out in pain as she watched the buildings in the distance shake.

"He's losing" whispered Raven as she looked down the street, her eyes didn't blink once as she stared at something only she could see.

"You say something?" asked Cyborg as he looked at her, knocking Raven out of her trance.

"No" replied Raven as she blinked a few times, trying to make the tears that had formed in her eyes go away, "I didn't say a thing". Starfire landed beside them as Cyborg looked at Raven, making the metal hero jump slightly as she tapped him on the shoulder.

"What you do that for?" yelled Cyborg as he felt his heart pound about in his chest, making both Raven and Starfire giggle slightly as they watched him.

"I am sorry for attacking your heart but have you seen Beast Boy?" asked Starfire as she held her arms across her chest, her worried eyes never blinked as she looked at Cyborg. Cyborg was about to answer until Beast boy's voice was heard yelling at them from beyond a pillar of smoke.

"Guys I need a little help here!" yelled the green shape shifter as he walked through the smoke with Speedy draped over his shoulders, blood stained the front of his uniform as he carried Speedy towards his friends. Starfire shot forward and threw her arms around Beast Boy as soon as Cyborg had taken Speedy away from his arms, knocking them both to the ground as she kissed him repeatedly on the head and face.

"I thought I had lost you" smiled Starfire as she stopped kissing hi for a second, allowing Beast boy to catch his breath.

"Sorry but this ring means your stuck with me" grinned Beast Boy as he showed her his wedding ring. Starfire just smiled even more as she returned to kissing him, making Cyborg sigh as he gently placed Speedy onto the ground.

"Take me to him" said Jinx suddenly as she turned and looked at Genesis, making the goddess look at her in confusion. The confusion soon disappeared as Genesis realised who Jinx was talking about.

"You know you may die if you go there?" said the goddess as her amber eyes looked back at Jinx, trying her best to hide the tears that where forming in them.

"I do" replied Jinx simply as she smiled back, her eyes glowed with a gentle pink as her tears began to fall from them. Genesis smiled back as she saw a great love blossom in Jinx's heart, something she knew would have something to do with defeating 'the evil' once and for all.

"Then let us go and help then" smiled Genesis as she held her hands into the air and began to chant something in a strange language.

"you mean your going to?" asked Jinx as a golden light washed over her, bathing her in a strange warmth.

"What kind of goddess would I be if I didn't?" smiled Genesis before the light became to bright to look at, forcing Jinx to close her eyes tight as she shielded tem from the flash with her hands.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Beast Boy looked up as a bright flash of light engulfed the entire street, making everyone shield their eyes until it died away.

"You can open your eyes again Jinx" said Genesis as she lowered her hands and tapped Jinx on the shoulder. Jinx did as commanded and blinked a few times, feeling a bit annoyed as she tried to get rid of the green spots in her vision.

"Next time I'll take the bus" said Jinx as her vision returned to normal, allowing her to see Speedy lying on the ground, his blood had formed a small puddle underneath him as Raven tried to heal his wounds, "SPEEDY!!!" screamed Jinx as she ran at him, forcing Cyborg to act quickly as he grabbed her and held her close to his metal chest.

"LET ME GO!!!" she screamed as she struggled to beak free of Cyborg's grip, making him only hold her closer to his chest.

"He'll be just fine" he whispered as he tried to stop Jinx from looking at him, feeling her tears run down his chest as she struggled to break free from his grip. Genesis ignored her struggling as she moved towards Raven and kneeled down beside Speedy, looking at the deep wounds in his chest and arms.

"His wounds are to severe I can't heal them" said Raven softly, making sure that Jinx couldn't hear her, "He's going to die" she said plainly, not trying to sugar coat the evitable.

"Not if I have anything to say about it" smiled Genesis as she placed her hands on Raven's, making them glow gold as the half demon looked at her in confusion.

"What are you doing?" asked Raven as she felt a strange new power course through her finger tips.

"I'm saving a life" replied Genesis simply as she closed her eyes and began to chant again in the strange language that had brought both her and Jinx to this place. Raven only watched in amazement as Speedy's wounds began to slowly close over, making him groan as his eyes began to flutter.

"Uhh where am I?" he asked as the light faded, making Raven look down at his chest in shock as she looked for any signs of the wounds that used to be there.

"Speedy!" exclaimed Jinx as she finally tore free from Cyborg's grip and ran to him, throwing her arms around him as he smiled at her, "I thought I'd lost you" she wept as she looked at his face, smiling only because of the goofy one that was on his face.

"I'm sorry" he smiled as he rubbed the back of his neck, making Jinx frown slightly before she smiled again.

"You just lucky your cute" was all she said before she kissed him, making everyone turn away as Speedy deepened the kiss.

"How is Deathwing doing?" asked Genesis as she stood beside Raven and looked at her, she could tell that she was extremely worried about him.

"I don't know" replied Raven sadly as she looked down the street and listened to the sound of the wind blow through the city, "I just don't know".

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Deathwing coughed as he tried to move but found that he was still being pinned down by Malevolence's huge claw, making the demon god laugh as he tried to push it off his back.

"It's where you belong" snarled Malevolence as he pressed his claw down harder on Deathwing, making him cry out in pain as felt his bones being slowly crushed into dust, "Under my foot".

"Pity I won't be staying there" smiled Deathwing before he roared and sent Malevolence flying off of him as a wave of white energy pulsated from his body. He panted as he stood back up and picked up his white bo staff, using it to support himself as he gasped for air.

"What's the matter Deathwing running out of steam?" asked Malevolence as he floated above him, smiling as he looked down at the exhausted 'saviour', "Do you need a little help down there?" he laughed as he watched Deathwing rather weakly flap his tattered wings, making his body slowly ascend into the air.

"Not really but I wouldn't mind some" replied Deathwing as he stopped in front of Malevolence, making the demon god smile as he watched some of the black feathers fall to the ground.

"Then allow me to help" said Malevolence as he created a ball of black energy behind his back, "Here catch" he smiled as he tossed the ball of energy at Deathwing, giving him no time to move out of the way. The ball suddenly exploded as a beam of crimson energy stabbed through it, making Malevolence's eyes snap wide open as he looked about for the source of the energy blast.

"Who did that?" snarled Malevolence as it's eyes scanned all around the street.

"I'm offended by that remark master" replied a dark voice from the smoke behind Deathwing, making Malevolence growl as a figure with white wings floated through the smoke and smiled at him, "How could you have forgotten little old me?" asked Nightmare as he created a long black sword and held it against his face, smiling as he sensed a strange fear sweep through Malevolence's huge body.
