Hello ppl I told ya I'd get another chapter going! Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans. I own Silver, Poacher, and Foxfire.

Chapter Six: History of Foxfire

Silver and Raven hiked through the woods. Raven didn't know where they were going, but she trusted that Silver did. The wolf boy lifted his nose to the air, wolf powers searching for Poacher's scent. It wasn't much stronger, but it was strong enough for Silver to know he was leading them in the right direction. The fighters didn't say much, they would need to conserve all their energy for the coming battle with the demon Poacher.

Meanwhile in the tower, the titans had received Silver and Raven's note.

Dear Team,

We have gone to search for Poacher alone. The battle will be hard, and it is our battle, especially mine (Silver.) Do not follow us, we don't want you getting hurt for us! We'll be back when we can.

Silver and Raven

"NO!" Robin yelled in frustration. They had left without them.

"Guess we'll have to follow," Cyborg said, "And where's B.B.? He's been in his room a lot lately." Just at that moment, the sirens sounded. "Trouble!" Robin said, hurrying over to his computer. He pulled up a video feed of the crime.

"Overload," Starfire said, "The mean computer chip who absorbs machines."

"I guess we can leave them be, this looks serious," Robin said reluctantly. They dragged Beast Boy out of his room, without a word from him, and headed downtown.

From a distance, the young fiery spirited girl Foxfire watched the titans go. Good, she thought, This is Silver's battle, and the only one who is allowed to bail him out is his best friend. Me! She thought with glee.

I suppose if someone were to understand this, they would need to know the history of Foxfire.

When life was normal for Sakarade, when his parents were alive and with him, everything was fine. He was 8 at this time, before he had his powers. His best friend was a girl named Fiona, who is now known as Foxfire. They went together everywhere, and told each other everything. Sakarade really liked Fiona. No, he loved her, a love of friendship. She felt the same. Then it happened, when Sakarade was 9, and Fiona was 10. Sakarade's parents were murdered in a gas station robbery. It was during that robbery that Silver was out in the woods, chasing after a wolf. Silver learned of his parents' death, and decided to dedicate his life to stopping petty crimes like the kind that got his parents killed.

Fiona however, as if by fate, was also in that same region of the woods, (which is believed to be a gate to the demon realm,) chasing after a fox, at the same time as Sakarade when he was chasing the wolf. She was as obsessed with foxes as Sakarade was with wolves. The fox she was chasing, a demon female fox named Klarran, gave her a challenge. If she could overcome the pain of the demon energy entering her body, then Klarran would give her fiery powers of a fox demon, and balance the demon and human souls within her. Fiona, being the cocky young girl she was, never backed down from a challenge. And although most 10-year-olds probably wouldn't have been able to endure the pain, Fiona was an especially strong girl.

She had no problem absorbing the demon form. Klarran was impressed, and true to her word. One year later, Fiona, who now went by Foxfire, witnessed her best friend accidentally kill a maniac's girlfriend. She saw Sakarade flee, and went after him, but never caught him. They had been leaving signs and messages for each other ever since, but they never met. That was because Foxfire had a home. Until Poacher came along to her.

Poacher, being the animal killer that he is, had heard of Fox. He hunted her down, and killed both her parents with the same pistol he used five years later to shoot Raven. He shot her parents because they were trying to hide their Fiona. Foxfire escaped, but her parents were long gone.

She met up with Sakarade, who was now known as Silver, shortly afterwards. He was 11 now, and she 12. She took the vow that he did to stop criminals. They then went their separate ways, and not without tears from them both. They were young and foolish at the time, and didn't stay together.

The two animal heros met up frequently from time to time. They still had their old bond that seemed to let the other know where they were always. But Foxfire had strayed farther away, and she had not seen Silver since he was 13. But she figured, with all the trouble he was in, she had better pay a little visit. Besides, she missed her friend. Maybe it was their individual grief for their losses that pulled them into separate paths, but they still loved each other. And Foxfire had always helped Silver out of sticky situations before...

Raven sensed that they were being followed. "Stop," she said, turning to look behind them.

"I sense it too," Silver said, turning to look as well. Then he sensed just who it was. "Fox? Foxfire?" He asked, running forward, as the girl walked up the path the two titans had taken.

"Long time no see, Wofly," Fox said with a grin.

"Fox!" Silver yelled, running to her. They embraced, then looked each other over. "You've grown in the past two years," Fox observed. Silver was taller than her.

"So have you," Silver replied.

"Friend of yours?" Raven asked.

"Somethin' like that.." Silver said jokingly. He told Raven the entire story of their friendship, which actually surprised Fox. She didn't think that he would tell anybody about those things.

"I hope you trust her," Fox said somewhat harshly. Raven blushed.

"Ah, she's kinda my.. ah.."

"I see," Fox said. No one said any more about the subject, even when the two girls were introduced.

"I'm so glad to see you Fiona."

"Backatcha Wolfy," she replied. They hugged again, then Fox said, "I'm here to help you."

"You help me?" Silver said, pretending to be shocked. Fox smirked, "Yeah, I'm gonna help ya, and you know what with."

"Poacher." There was silence. Foxfire hoped he would let her help. They both knew he needed all the help he could get, but she knew how much of Silver's battle it was now. She also sensed the tension of the subject, concerning Raven. "He hurt Rae?"

"Yes. He shot her twice and left her for dead, till I turned full demon and nearly killed him."

"Nearly?" Fox asked, cocking an eyebrow.

"Almost.."

"Nearly," she stated.

"But he's a demon too...."

"Nearly."

"He missed, shot all of his magic, Poacher dodged, it leveled about three miles of land," Raven filled in for Silver. "Ah," Fox said, thinking about it, "You always were kinda reckless.."

"Hey!"

"It's the truth.." Fox replied. "But back to the point, I have just as much reason to kill this freak as you, he killed both my parents."

"You're right," Silver agreed. "Well then we all have a reason to kill him, so let's go do it now," he suggested.

"Good plan." And they continued hiking, following Poacher's scent.

An explosive disc flew through the air, hitting a red computer chip. The chip fell to the ground, cracked. Then men in suits and helmets carrying weapons put the chip in a vehicle, and drove off. Starfire landed, she had been hovering a few feet above the ground. Robin relaxed his tense and ready body. Cybrog's sonic cannon switched back into a normal arm again, and the T-Rex form of Beast Boy changed back to the normal form of B.B.

"That shouldn't have been so hard," Cyborg commented. It had been a very difficult battle.

"We were missing teammates," Robin said, "But you're right, defeating Overload should have been a piece of cake."

"We must hurry now to find our friends, we have lost much time thanks to Overload," Starfire said, taking flight again.

"You're right," they agreed. Robin got on his motorcycle, Cyborg and Beast Boy got into the T-Car, and Starfire flew higher into the air. They all sped out of the city, on their way to the forest.

Raven hiked along with the two frends in silence. Silver knew this girl so much better than he knew her. They were still talking, getting reaquainted, telling about what fights and challenges had arisen in their time apart. Raven noted that Silver made no comments about her.

Suddenly the three demonic heros sensed something. Another demon, a strong one. "Poacher..." Silver muttered with disgust. He was right. At the top of the hill of forested area the heros were climing, stood Poacher. He was not yet in his demon form, but he was ready for them.

"Well look who's out of the hospital," he said, pointing his pistol at Raven.

"Don't you DARE!" Silver yelled, leaping forward in a blur. Poacher reacted just in time, releasing a bullet in Silver's direction. Silver easily deflected it with the armor on his forearms, and slashed the pistol in two. He stopped at the other side of Poacher, who had a shocked look on his face as his second favorite gun was suddenly in two pieces. The whole thing happened too fast for Raven or Fox to see.

"Nice, Wolfy, you didn't used to know that trick," Fox said, with her usual unserious attitude.

"You, Fox Girl, DIE!" Poacher raised his mechanical arm, and shot a bullet from the sniper rifle. Fox's entire body flared up with orange flames, and not a moment too soon, and a very powerful fire forcefield deflected the bullet, sending it into a nearby tree.

While Poacher had fired at Fox, he temporarily forgot Silver behind him. Silver had gathered about 2 of his energies into his fist, and slammed it into Poacher's back. Then everything was still. Silver stood there with his fist in the demon's back, the demon with a maniac grin on his face. Then, suddenly Poacher's mechanical arm swung around, hitting Silver's face and knocking him back about five feet onto the ground.

"Azarath, Metrion, ZINTHOS!"

"Firon, Zeerra, KLARRAN!" Raven and Foxfire screamed at the same time. Foxfire's words were names of fox demons. Then both blasts, of fire and darkness, disappeared, as well as Poacher. Raven and Foxfire slowly looked up, and saw, in the air, the demon form of Poacher.

MWAHAHAHA ANOTHER CLIFFY! haha.. but I promise I'll update again soon!!! (as soon as I figure out what the demon form of Poacher actually looks like.. heh heh...)
