Chapter Nine When the Fates Collide

{} = Chapter Fresh up

{"I thought you were-" Beast Boy startled ghastly.

'Every one thought I was dead. Well... with the help of my son here... I was able to come back to life. I am able to now destroy the Titans... starting with you two..."}

"RAE WATCH!" bellowed Beast Boy as he ducked a star-like-bolt that had been headed towards him. He made his best attempt to throw himself on a petrified Raven. The shock and revelations that had been exposed prior gave her very little time to consume and comprehend it all.

"UHH!" they yelped in unison as they crashed into the stone floor, only missing the grand explosion behind them, by the skins of their teeth. Beast Boy rolled his weight off Raven and they immediately did the first thing that came to mind.

"DOES HE EVER DIE?" Beast Boy retorted as they crawled their way towards they higher layered tops. BOOM

"You fools! You can not escape me now!"

They regained quick breath and reconstructed their frame... the took the courage and stood upward... dodging the coming star-like-bolt towards them.

"CLAY!" Raven yelled. "Release him NOW!" she demanded, her eyes starting to glow red.

"And what will you do." He inquired suggestively.

"I'VE FOR-WARNED YOU! AZARATH MENTRION ZINTHOS!" she bellowed, her voice eerily echoing through out the grotto... And nothing protruded from those words, for now they were only words.

"Raven..." Beast Boy whispered, "Your powers.... You don't have them yet."

She looked at her hands disbelievingly. How could have she forgotten? Now... she was jeopardizing one of the two most important people in her lives.

BOOM sounded another bolt... behind them.

"AH! That could have been a leg!" scurried Beast Boy once again, stomach once again on the floor.

Raven retreated into the shadows of doom. What was she going to do now? ... She was useless... and what about Clay? 'What about Clay?' Said a horrific voice inside her head. 'It's not like you like him anymore.' The voice announced yet again.

"That's not true." Raven said replying to the irritating voice that was in her head. Raven fell to the floor clutching her stomach. She felt incredibly ill.

"Not now..." she mumbled to herself straining back tears from the incredible rising pain. 'Look you may be able to NOW feel... but it doesn't mean that the ANGER emotion is still not here. Take Beast Boy and screw the kid... whatever his name is. He kidnapped you... you used him... and now he's nothing but trash... throw him out..."

"RAVEN!" yelled the two voices in the grotto that did actually care for her. BOOM!

"I can't do that..." Raven said as she slightly rose herself up to a sitting position. "I'm not going to leave Clay." The disturbing voice bellowed one last thing before leaving. 'It's not fair to Beast Boy... you know... it's not fair that you are holding back because of Clay.'

Raven's eyebrows knitted in puzzlement. 'What was Anger saying?' but there was no time to contemplate as another BOOM shattered the upper layer, creating a rather small meteor shower of falling rocks.

The only thing that came to mind first was... to fight powerless. Her cowardice faded and she rose... with nothing restraining her... she was walking towards the shadows near the entrance.

"DID YOU NOT HEAR WHAT I SAID? RELEASE HIM!" She retorted with threatening crimson eyes.

"Foolish girl, what do you think you could do to me powerless? What do you think you could do with out those magic words of yours?" questioned Slade mockingly.

'THIS!" she said kicking an unprepared Slade toward the ground, stumbling releasing the grip on his son. But Clay didn't function; he was too hurt to even move a single solitary muscle.

"Clay..." Raven said apologetically, "Clay... you have to get up." She slid to the ground locking their hands, trying to nudge, trying to make him move.

"Rae..." Beast Boy said, with an eye swollen shut, "I've got him."

"Do you think that it's going to be that easy?" came a voice from the rising figure. With a kick, Beast Boy went flying deeper into the grotto, vanishing momentarily.

"BEAST BOY!" Raven yelled after the flying body, but she couldn't prevent him from going full fledged towards the interior of the cavern, she had no powers.

"Where is the pendent you silly girl?" said a condescending Slade. Raven rose to her feet, only to fall back down, she put an arm towards her stomach for she hadn't realized that she was injured.

"Uhh," she moaned. At the look of the brutal injury came excruciating pain, the slice that had torn her costume went through slicing her stomach as well, blood dribbled down creating a diminutive puddle. Blood made her sick. When had she gotten this cut?

Slade dropped the knife in his right hand. With an impact it fell, clinging. He stepped over his son and neared Raven.

"Don't come any closer." She murmured.

"And what are you going to do?" Slade bent down and hooked a hand under Raven's chin, forcing her to look into his face. "Where is the pendent?" he said for a second time. Her amethyst eyes were downcast, in attempt to not look at the cretin before her. She spat in his face. With an abhorrent expression pasted upon his face, he simply took her cape and wiped it off.

"You tell me where the pendent is and I won't destroy these pieces of junk. I'll leave you alone." She had no other choice but to reveal its location. She'd only tell the accurate information.

"I don't have it." She said truthfully. "Clay and I lost it coming here," she paused to wonder for only a second. "We wittingly disposed of it." She said with a creeping smile that began to appear as Slade's began to fade away.

"You lie!" he alleged and he took the metal of his arm and smacked her across the face, sending her flying a couple of feet.

Stomach down Raven pushed herself upward; as blood began to spill from her mouth, she wiped it of not wanting to face the monster behind her.

"I do not! SEARCH ME! I DON'T HAVE IT!" she yelled. And for the first time in her entire life, Raven felt fear. He could destroy her then and there. What was the purpose of her if she didn't have the pendent?

"YES YOU DO!" He bellowed, his eerie voice echoing through out the cavern. His metallic shuffling feet signified that he was nearing her yet again. She tried to crawl forwad, but the weak attempt did not a thing. She was hurt too badly.

"NO SHE DOESN'T FATHER... I do." Clay said cunningly. And in his right hand between his index and thumb he demonstrated the piece of jewelry. The slight gleam shown into our eyes. 'No!' Raven thought inwardly. 'He can't give it to him! Was it possible that Beast Boy gave Clay the pendent, without confirming it to me first?'
