Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans, I do own Silver, Poacher, and Foxfire.
Chapter Seven: Dreaming of His Death
It was a horrid sight, Poacher's demon form. His tattoo was still there, and his face looked somewhat like it did in his human form, but the rest was completely changed. He had thin, scaly, torn wings, flapping slowly but steadily, keeping him in the air. His body was covered mostly in a long black cloak, but what could be seen was a scaly mass of tough hide, in the form of legs, arms, and a body. The flesh was also discolored, it was the color of blood. He had no hair, but instead three horns. Under his cloak the shapes of awful demon guns could be seen, waiting to shoot any of them down at any given moment.
"What kind of demon is he?" Raven almost yelled in frustration.
"Who the hell cares, I'm taking him down anyway!" Silver screamed, getting to his feet. His hands were covered in a raging fire of silver magic.
"Firon, Zeerra, Klarran, Firon, Zeerra, Klarran....." Foxfire chanted, preparing an assault. She stood straight, her hands forming some symbol. Then Raven threw back her cloak, spread her arms to the air, and yelled, "AZARATH, METRION, ZINTHOS!!!!" releasing a great deal of energy at the demon. Poacher held out a deformed looking rifle, and from it shot a red beam of energy, which melted through Raven's attack. It would hit her at any second. "Shit..." she muttered, raising an energy shield. Then Silver released his energy. It was a pure blast of silver flames, which negated both Raven and Poacher's attacks, and went flying off for miles into space.
It was Fox's turn. "Zeerra, Klarran, Firon, ZEERA... KLARRAN!!!!!" And then Poacher tasted the fury of the foxes. And some attack it was, a blazing beam of fire energies. With a roar, Poacher sent beams of energy from the fingers of the hand that wasn't holding the demon weapon. The red energy beams sliced apart Foxfire's attack completely.
"WHAT THE FUCK?!? I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS FREAK!" Foxfire yelled in agonizing frustration.
Silver could no longer contain his demon energies. He was fighting it back with all his power and will, but it was too strong. The demon needed blood.
First Silver's eyes changed to blood red, the evil, cruel, blood-thirsty eyes of his demon form. Then in a flash his body was completely demon, as it had been before. Raven submitted to her anger, and the tall, four-eyed form of her in a rage stood next to Silver. Then Foxfire, having total control over her demonic energy, was before them in a demon fox form. She looked the same, but she had a fox nose, ears, and tail.
"Cute," The human form of Silver said sarcastically. The demon fox just grinned.
Then they all three demons prepared their attacks.

While this battle was taking place, north-norhteast of the city, Robin and ther rest of the titans were trying to track the missing heros. They were, and not surprisingly, going in completely the wrong direction...
"I think we should go.." Robin began, but then stopped. He stopped because he saw a bright silver flash of energy flying off into the sky, to his right. "That must be them! And it looks like we're late, let's go!" Robin yelled. The titans set off at a fast pace, in the direction of the blast.

Silver attacked first, pure rage powering him. He jumped up to where Poacher was, which startled the enemy demon. With a roar, Silver's claws cut through Poacher's right wing. It went limp, and bright, almost glowing blood rained from the sky, falling with the demon. Poacher screamed a stream of curses at Silver, who was diving for his second attack. Poacher had landed on his back, and while still laying there, he raised his rifle, and fired a stream of red energy. It hit Silver's shoulder, and knocked him off course. He landed about ten yards to the right of Poacher, in a crouching position. His shoulder was ripped open, and bleeding freely. His shirt was torn and slowly getting blood stained.
With a harsh scream, Raven sent her energies at the fallen Poacher, who held up his arm to shield him from the attack. For the first time, he spoke, a dark, purely evil and insane voice, "You are too weak!" And he slashed at the energy Raven had sent at him, reflecting it back at her. It hit her and knocked her to the ground. She was no longer a demon. She was just a girl, burned and bleeding, on the ground.
Meanwhile Foxfire had darted behind Poacher, and sent several jets of fire at him. He deflected them all as easily as he had Raven's assault. He then fired a beam from his finger, which went straight through the fox's right thigh. She too, was now unable to fight.
"Just you and me Wolf Boy!" Poacher yelled. When he turned to look, he was almost scared. Silver stood, still wounded horribly, his eyes open wide and eager to kill, hands flaming, and the most confident look was on his face.
"YOU'VE HURT MY FRIENDS FOR THE LAST TIME!!!!!!" Silver screamed in rage. He lunged forward, a flaming fist flying. It was blocked by the good left wing of Poacher. Poacher then fired his rifle at point-blank range, right into Silver's chest. Silver's body flared up in magic at the last second, sending the blast through Poacher's remaining wing. The melting flesh of the wing fell of in heaps of thick blood. Poacher screamed in pain and rage. But he no longer had protection against Silver's punch.
The punch hit home, knocking Poacher back about ten yards. He stayed on his feet, however. He then reached into his cloak, and produced another, even more horrid looking weapon. He fired them both. It seemed that his demon energy was what powered the weapons. Silver easly evaded the beams, with his speed, and leaped into the air, fist glowing. Before he landed he released a ball of magic from his fist, which was destroyed by Poacher's rifles. The beams flew at Silver, who barely had time to react. He raised his arms, still in mid-air, forming an X. The blasts burned away the skin, and sliced through the flesh.
Silver fell to the ground. Poacher was approaching slowly, laughing insanely, going in for the kill. Damn it.. Silver thought, I can't end it like this! He was laying in a pool of his own blood, his flesh on his arms burned as if he were laying in white hot flames, and his shoulder hurt just as much when he even moved his arm. And still, Poacher drew closer.
The titans were almost to the fight, but not yet, for the battle kept moving farther away from where it started.
"YOU DIE NOW!!!" Poacher screamed, bringing the sharp tips of the weapons down on where Silver lay. For a second it looked as if Poacher had won. Then he saw the truth. Silver had caught the blades between his fingers, and in one motion, threw them aside and slammed into Poacher. He was at his magic's end now, and flames covered his body. He started slashing at Poacher, ripping away the red flesh, the cloak, and the weapons. When he was done, he was on the ground in human form, laying in a pile of flesh and blood, and completely soaked in the red liquid.
Raven slowly made her way over to him, trying to help him. Foxfire did the same. But when they saw him, they knew it was not a victory. Poacher was dead, yes, but the demon part of Silver had triumphed over the human part. Slowly, Silver's body glowed silver, and then it slowly faded away, his soul drifting off to some lost place. He was gone.
"No..." Raven said, not believing what she had seen. "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Her powers flared, leveling everything around her in a hellish blaze of black energy. She was her demon form of rage again. She couldn't take it. She brought her hands to her head, trying to hold it in, then slowly melted back to the girl she was.
Foxfire was just as shocked and upset. She couldn't say anything. She just ran, ran into the woods, and didn't stop until she fell over and couldn't run any longer.
The team realized what happened, when they arrived shortly afterwards, and carried Raven home. She seemed to be deep in meditation. She would mutter things like, "Just fading.. fading..." or, "... couldn't... not real...."
They were all very deeply saddened by Silver's death. None of the titans talked, they just went to sleep, for it had grown late.

Somewhere in a dark part of the woods, deep within, a young girl with fire red hair lay dreaming.
He killed the suffering wolf at his feet. Sakarade released a blast. It hit the truck, blowing it up. Poacher's face twisted into rage as he saw the boy flee. She ran after him, but was too slow. But she kept running, running, running... then she went home.
She got his message. They might be able to visit soon. Then she heard a knock on the door. Her mom answered it. It was that same man, Poacher. He asked about her. He had a gun. Her mom said she wasn't home, and tryed to close the door. Her dad came running in, telling her to hide. Then Poacher shot her mom, then her dad. They were left to die. Then the man called Poacher walked into the house. Foxfire ran again. Out of the house, out of the town. She kept running, running, running.... then she met him again.
She met with him, atop a cliff deep within the woods. They each took vows, to fight crime. She kissed him, then they parted.
She learned of what happened, and went to help. She met him, for the first time in two years. They hugged and talked, then she fought alongside him. Then she watched as his body faded away, leaving his soul to drift as well. She watched, as the demon consumed him, and he was killed. She watched, as her best friend in the whole world, the boy she loved, was taken from her. And then she ran. She kept running, running, running... until she dropped, unable to go further, and lay asleep.
She was back in the same forest where she had aquired her powers. Raven was with her. They had just fought something, she didn't know what. They were both in great pain. They entered a cave. Inside they found Silver. She took him, with Raven, and together they ran away from that place, and kept running, running, running.... until they got to their home.
Foxfire suddenly awoke with a start. It was dawn. She had been dreaming, dreaming of her old memories, dreaming of Silver's death. But she also had another dream. In a cave, with Raven. She saw Silver, and suddenly, she knew what she had to do. "I'm coming," she whispered aloud.

Meanwhile at the tower, Raven had recovered from her trance-like state, but she was still in great dispair. No one tried to talk to her, she just stayed in her room all day, everyday. It had been like that for a week now. Then she heard a knock on her door. "What?" she snapped.
"You have a visitor Raven," she heard Robin's voice say.
"Come in," she said hastily. Robin opened the door, and walked in, with Foxfire.
"Raven," Fox said, "I know what we must do, to get him back."
