Sorry for the long wait…sorry in advance if it sucks.

Chapter 32

Is it over?

Deathwing couldn't believe his own eyes as Nightmare floated a few short feet away from him, his black sword gleamed as he held it against his blood covered face. Even Malevolence was stunned into a fear full silence as he stared at Nightmare, blinking several time just to make sure his twisted mind weren't playing tricks on him.

"What are you staring at?" asked Nightmare as he glanced at Deathwing, snapping him out of his thoughts, "Never seen a living dead man?" he smiled as he glided towards Deathwing, a large smile was plastered on his face.

"But I killed you" said Deathwing in a voice that was barely above a whisper, making Nightmare smile even more as he placed a hand on his friends shoulder.

"Then that means we're even" smiled Nightmare before he turned and looked at Malevolence, making the demon god smile as he regained control over his fear.

"Let me guess you weren't ready for death yet?" smiled Malevolence as he looked at Nightmare, his eyes began to glow an unholy red as he created a huge black broad sword in his clawed hands.

"You ready?" asked Nightmare as he raised his sword again and looked back at Deathwing, smiling as he watched him create a white sword of his own.

"I was ready to die with you tow years ago" smiled Deathwing as he floated next to Nightmare, "And I'm ready to die with you today" he said before he looked at Malevolence and awaited for his inevitable attack. They didn't have to wait long as Malevolence shot forward, forcing Deathwing to shove Nightmare out of the way as he used his sword to block the first of the demon gods devastating attacks.

Another shockwave resonated throughout the city, making small pieces of debris rise into the air before they where crushed by the incredible forces being generated by each attack.

"It's has begun again" said Genesis as she appeared beside Raven making her jump slightly as the goddess smiled gently at her.

"I know" replied Raven as she looked back down the street, doing her best to keep her tears in her eyes.

"But this time Deathwing cannot win alone" said Genesis sadly as she closed her eyes and shuddered as she felt each of the attacks being thrown in the final battle.

"What?!!!" gasped Raven, her amethyst eyes went wide as she listened to Genesis's words.

"he will die because alone is not strong enough to defeat this evil" sighed Genesis as she opened her eyes in time to see that Raven had begun to float into the air, "Where are you going?" she exclaimed as she watched the resident witch of the Titans ascend into the air.
"I'm going to make sure my husband isn't alone" she replied with a smile as she looked down at Genesis, "Just make sure the others remain safe until 'we' return" she smiled before she sped off in the direction of the final battle before Genesis could even say another word.

"Be careful" was all Genesis whispered as she watched the violet haired half demon witch disappear into the city, she knew in her ancient heart and soul that would be the last time she would ever see her alive again.

"Where's Rae going?" asked Cyborg as he walked towards Genesis, making the young goddess quickly wipe away her tears before she looked at him.

"She has gone to get help" she relied with, she silently prayed that Cyborg would believe her lie cause she knew he would never understand.

"Good cause I'm thinking we'll need all the help we can get" smiled Cyborg as he stood beside her, he didn't believe her for a single second but he knew that for her sake he would have to pretend he didn't. he smiled as he felt her rest her head against his chest, making his naturally place his hand on her head and rub it gently as his sensors scanned the area of the city where he knew Deathwing was battling.

"I don't believe it…" gasped Cyborg as his sensors detected something very familiar to him, making him smile in shock as he continued to stare at the same spot.
"What is it?" asked an extremely anxious Genesis as she looked at Cyborg and then down at the spot he was staring at, trying to see what he saw.

"It's him" replied Cyborg in a soft whisper as he looked down at Genesis briefly, "It's…"

"Nightmare look out!" yelled Deathwing as he watched one of Malevolence's killing beams shot towards his friend, making the white winged demon shot into the air as the beam flashed beneath his feet. Deathwing didn't have to even smile at his friends narrow escape as he ducked away from one of Malevolence's sword swipes, making him kick the demon god in the face as he flew away. Malevolence just smiled as he followed after Deathwing, slashing away at him with his sword with incredible speed. Deathwing barley managed to block the attacks as he ducked and dodged away from the enraged god like being, throwing various energy beams at him in an attempt to stop the attacks for a few seconds.

"You can't beat me with suck weak attacks" smiled Malevolence he flew through the smoke and rammed his fist into Deathwing's chest, making him cry out as he felt all the air being robbed from his already weary body. Malevolence was about to stab his sword into Deathwing until he felt a huge amount of power being generated behind him, making him turn in fear as he saw Nightmare holding a huge ball of red energy.

"Fancy playing catch?" smiled Nightmare as he looked down at the demon like god, breathing a sigh of relief as he watched Deathwing slide off his huge fist and fall onto the ground below, "Here catch!" he yelled as he threw the ball with all of his strength at Malevolence, making the evil god-like being roar as it raised it's claws in an attempt to stop the ball. He roared in both pain and anger as he felt the balls energy beginning to burn his flesh, making him only try harder in his attempts to stop the ball from touching his body, his eyes went wide as the ball kept on coming forward making his arms bend as he gritted his teeth and pushed with all of his strength. He landed on the ground and dug his claws into the hard concrete as he tried to push the ball away, making his arms only bend even more as the ball continued to press against him, making his eyes go wide as he realised he couldn't push it away.

"I WILL NOT BE DEFEATED AGAIN!!!!" he roared before his arms gave out, making the ball shot forward driving Malevolence into the ground before it exploded with a bright flash, making Nightmare use his wings as a shield for both himself and Deathwing.

Raven stopped in her tracks as a huge explosion rocked the city, making nearly every building collapse as the shock wave boomed around the streets. She could barely stay in the air as the shock wave hit her, making her quickly throw up a protective barrier as she waited for the initial shock wave to subside.

"Deathwing!" was all she could think of as she lowered her barrier and flew even faster towards the birth place of the explosion, she prayed he was still alive.

Cyborg finally pushed himself off the ground and smiled a she saw Genesis was still safe and sound beneath his huge metal body.

"You ok?" he groaned as he stood up and cracked the robotic and human bones in his neck.
"I'm fine" replied Genesis with a cough as she stood up and looked around her at the destruction the last attack had done to the city, "Where is the others?" she asked finally as she looked around her for the rest of the Titans and Jinx.

"We're here" replied Beast Boy as he appeared from the smoke, soon followed by Jinx, Aqua Lad Starfire, who was carrying the still weak Speedy on her shoulder.

"What was that?" asked Aqua Lad as he patted the dust off his uniform and looked at Genesis hoping she had an answer to the question they all where thinking.

"It was the last ditch effort in the battle against evil" replied Genesis as she returned to looking down the street to where she felt the power of Deathwing, "It was Nightmare's ultimate attack"

"Nightmare…but I thought he was you know dead" said Beast Boy as he stepped forward and looked at Genesis, clearly confused by what she had said.

"So did I" smiled Genesis as she continued to stare down the ravaged street, "So did I".

"So is the battle over?" asked Jinx as she looked at Genesis, holding herself as she watched the goddess continue to look down the street.

"I don't know" replied Genesis sadly, her eyes remained open as her tears fell from them silently.

Nightmare groaned as he opened his eyes, smiling as he saw that Deathwing's face was a few inches away from his.

"Wow now I know how Raven feels every morning" he smiled as he watched Deathwing's eyes open, a smile appeared on his face as he looked into Nightmare's dark eyes.

"What happened?" asked Deathwing with a smile as he sat up and wearily shook the debris off his wings and body, rubbing his head as he looked down at Nightmare.

"What no good morning darling hope you slept well?" laughed Nightmare as he sat up and shook his own head, making the bones in his neck crack loudly, "That was what I like to call play catch" smiled Nightmare as the smoke cleared revealing a he crater where the street used to be.

"You always did have to be bigger and better than the rest of the kids didn't you?" smiled Deathwing as he stood up and helped Nightmare to his, making the demon smile as he clasped Deathwing's hand tightly.

"What can I say I'm a big kid" replied Nightmare as he looked at Deathwing, their hands still firmly clasped together as they stared into each others eyes. Raven landed softly on the uneven ground, stumbling forward slightly as she tripped on a small piece of destroyed building. She could only see a few feet in front of her thanks to the huge amount of dust the last attack had kicked up, forcing her to use her hands to feel her way through the huge dust cloud.

"DICK!!" she called out into the dust, staring her ears as she heard her own voice echoing all around her, "DICK PLEASE ANSWER ME!" she called out again as she walked through the dust carefully, making sure she didn't trip over anymore pieces of debris. She topped and squinted her eyes as she saw the vague outline of a winged figure standing a few feet in front of her.

"Dick is that you?" she asked as raised it's head and looked at her, making her walk towards it slowly as she strained to see who it was.

"Sorry dear you got the wrong evil" smiled Malevolence as he grabbed hold of her wrist, making her scream before he rammed his claw into her chest silencing her immediately as blood began to trickle out from her mouth. Malevolence didn't pull his claw free as he closed his eyes and chanted something under his breath, making his body began to shimmer as it slowly began to fade into a grey like smoke. His body suddenly vanished making Raven's body fall to the ground with a wet thud, she lay there for a few moments longer before her eyes snapped open and glowed with an inhuman yellow as she returned to her feet.

"I feel a lot better now" smiled Malevolence as he looked at the new body he inhabited, smiling as he knew it would be the perfect tool to destroy the traitor and the saviour. He knew that they would never harm their beloved Raven as he floated into the air and created a huge black sword.

Nightmare was about to say something witty and humorous until he and Deathwing were sent flying by sudden blast of black energy, making them both curse under their breath as they looked about for the source of the attack.

"How did he survive?" yelled Nightmare as he looked about for Malevolence, hissing as he created another black sword in his hand.
"Oh god no!" gasped Deathwing as he looked up and saw Raven floating above them, smoke gently rose from her outstretched palm as s pair of dragon like wings flapped behind her.

"God has nothing to do with it" laughed Malevolence as he looked down at the two brave heroes, Raven's eyes glowed a pale yellow as she stared down at them, "Now let's finish this" he roared as he flew towards them, his deadly blade gleamed in the dying light as he approached the shocked Nightmare and Deathwing.

Things may get a bit weird because the whole Malevolence being in Raven's body is hard to write on paper…I'm sorry for any confusion you have suffered while reading this chapter. Anyway sorry this chapter took so long but as you all know I've been really depressed and nearly left this glorious site (WHAT WAS I THINKING?!!!) Hope you all enjoyed it and I promise I will have the next one up soon (Sadly it may be the last in this story). So until then stay safe everyone.

Later days
