Chapter Fifteen: Sweet Blood
Robin could see a small mountain. He figured that was where the caves must be. He rode towards it, well out of town now. He continued on his motorcycle until it couldn't take the roughness of the terrain anymore, and abandoned it. "Please stay strong Star.." he said to the limp body of Starfire that he held. Practically draping her over his back, he continued on foot. "She's your alchemist.." Raven's words were still clear in Robin's head. Can this 'Amy' really help? Robin wondered. He hoped so.

The four came out in a large bright white realm. It was white for as far as you could see, and you didn't seem to be standing on anything. They heard a whir and whipped around. The door they had come through flew back to its position in a line of doors. Raven pointed, "There," she said. She was pointing at a door next to Earth's door, with a white bird symbol above it. Then they noticed that all the doors had markers like that. Earth's marker was a circle with green and blue swirls. Earth itself.
"That door," Raven said again, walking forward cautiously.
"What's behind that door?" Cyborg asked, his feet glued to the nonexistant ground.
"Heaven, of course," Silver said as if it was the most casual and obvious thing in the world.
"Riiiiight...." Cy said, taking a step back.
"I always thought you had to die to go to heaven.." Fox muttered, mostly to herself.
"Not if you're that good," Silver said, pointing towards Raven.
"Yeah, she gets a free ride," Fox joked along.
Raven had to smile. She quickly got serious again though. "Let's go throuh," she said. Then, without another word, she walked through the swirling black door.
Machine, fox, and wolf quickly followed bird. The last door had seemed like stepping through a normal space, but stepping through this one was like falling. Up. And so they fell. They could still see and hear each other, which gave them comfort. Cyborg, having not experienced as many strange ordeals, was thouroughly freaked out.
"Whooooaaa!!!" He cried.
Fox floated upward with her arms at her sides and her eyes closed. Raven had her eyes closed as well. She was upright too, if there was an 'upright' in this place. Her head was tilting upward and her hands were slightly apart from her sides, palms out. She was absorbing all the energy she could. Silver 'stood' as well, hands in fists, a determined look on his face.
And Cyborg flailed his arms and twirled around helplessly. But soon enough the black of the door turned to gray, and then white. It was the brightest white, and it had to be pure 'good energy'. The light's sheer power was intimidating. Raven and Silver couldn't help but step back in fear of the power.
Raven couldn't seem to absorb the white light, like she could the dark.
Suddenly the world rushed forward. The four were no longer in the door, but above clouds in a sky. The clouds rushed forward, and suddenly they were at a pure gold gate. The giant entry stood before them intimidatingly.
Raven looked up and saw a great figure, with a staff. Suddenly she gasped.
"Raven and Fiona," the great being said, his voice gentle and kind.
"The Fallen One.." Raven said quietly, amazed.
"That is correct!" He said cheerfully. "Dakkaadyyyshum, in the 'flesh' as you would say."
"Well that's a mouthful," Silver said. "Can we call you Dak?" Dakkaadyyyshum chuckled.
"Sure," he said. "Now to business. I assume you want to meet the master of those minions, who's power and existance I threaten?" They nodded. "Follow me," he said, this time without cheer.

The tormented boy let out a shriek. "Beast Boy I'm doing this for your own good!" Terra shouted. She then completed the rock cage, trapping the insane beast inside. She jumped up to the top of the small fortress of rock and sat down, sighing. She had been fighting back tears since the battle, and now they all came out. Beast Boy's life was tied to the fate of this 'master'.
The crying girl sat, everything in she and B.B.'s past coming back to her. She couldn't take it. She let out a shriek of rage, raising her arms. Ten pillars of earth shot from the ground as she did so, but she didn't care. Although it was dark and late, there still were lots of people out and about, and the battle with the birds didn't take place very far from the city. But that didn't matter, Terra didn't care what people thought of her anymore. All she cared about was Beast Boy surviving. And she knew what she had to do to get him back.
The reckless Terra sped off on a rock in the direction that Raven had led the others. Meanwhile, the insane Beast Boy begain attacking his cage relentlessly.

Caves! Robin had spotted caves. He sprinted to the closest one. "Not much of a cave..." he muttered. He was right. Most of the 'caves' around this area were merely rocky holes in the ground, larger than the average rocky hole in the ground. Nothing was there.
"Can I help you?" Robin shot around, terrified, discs at the ready. "Don't hurt me!" It was a girl. A young girl. She had blond hair that was in pigtails and wore a red skirt, tennis shoes, and a pink jacket that was zipped up to her chin.
Robin relaxed. "I doubt it," he said, disappointed.
"You never know!" The girl said. "I'm nine years old, my name's A-"
"Look," Robin cut the girl off. "I'm looking for a great alchemist named Amy. Now go.. play or whatever it is you do when you aren't randomly stalking people on this mountain."
The girl giggled, "But don't you see? I am A-"
"I'm sure you could help, but I need to do some big kid work now ok?"
"Hmph!" The girl crossed her arms. "Maybe I won't help you find her then."
"You know where she is??" Robin asked excited. "Please, I need to find her!" He was almost in tears.
"Ok, ok, calm down Boy Wonder," she said. "What do you need from me?"
"I NEED TO KNOW WHERE AMY IS!!!!!!"
"THAT'S WHAT I MEANT BOY WONDER!!!!!!! I AM AMY!!!!!" The girl shouted back, louder than Robin.
Then Robin, louder still, "YOU AREN'T AMY, AMY IS A GREAT ALCHEMIST!!!!!!"
"I AM A GREAT ALCHEMIST!!!!!"
"BUT YOU'RE NOT AMY!!!!" Robin screamed, satisfied.
"Believe what you want," Amy shrugged.
Then Star tried to bite Robin. "Star! Ok you're Amy!!" He was reminded that Star was going evil. And she bit people now.
"Amy the great...."
"Amy the great alchemist!!!" Amy noded, satisfied.
"Exactly." Appearances can be deceiving.. Suddenly Robin realized what Raven meant. But there was no time to deal with Raven's riddles.
"Please, I need your help!" Robin pleaded.
"Looks to me like your friend is the one who needs help," Amy said, looking at Starfire.
"Th-That's what I meant!" Robin yelled frustratedly.
"You don't have to get so upset about it," Amy said calmly.
"Can you help her?" Robin asked weakly.

The four beings of Earth followed Dak in. He had grown to at least five times the height he was on Earth. His great wings, all six of them, glowed with white light. I can't believe this.. Silver thought to himself. It started out so simple, and now I'm in heaven!!! I should be happy, but I know I'm marching to my death.
Cyborg was about to cross the threshold of the gate, but hesitated. "I understand that we are possibly going to our death here Cyborg," Raven said. "I want you to know you don't have to do this, it's our problem. You are a great friend, Cyborg."
"No way Rae," Cyborg said, forcing out his fears. "I'm sticking with you all to the end, always." He stepped forward. Suddenly his hands were changed. His whole body was changed. "I'm.. I'm normal!!" He shouted.
"BACK YOU FOOL!!!!" Dak reached a great arm into Cyborg's heaven and pulled him out. "You can't go in there yet!" He shouted. "Everyone has their own heaven, and if you go too early you'll be trapped, and it will become your hell!!"
"I'm sorry.. I didn't know..." Cyborg said, his voice barely above a whisper. Damn!!! So close...
"Follow, and don't look around, keep your eyes on me," Dak said, and he walked through the great gate. The four followed him.
It was so tempting. All they had to do was look, and they would know what their heaven was like. Raven couldn't hold back. She, with all her willpower, couldn't help it. She glanced to her side. But she didn't see a heaven. She saw flames. She saw herself crying in agony, fire all over her body. "DON'T LOOK!" Dak shouted. Raven quickly snapped out of it and focused again on the seraph. She didn't want to think about what she had just seen. About what it could mean.

A small girl was swinging in a small park in the dark. She was humming softly to herself. Her mother and baby brother were beside her. They were all bundled up in layers, keeping out the cold. "It's late honey," the mom said to the girl. "It's eleven."
"One more swing?" the girl asked. The mom sighed. "Alright."
The mom set the three year old down on a bench and pushed her seven year old girl.
"Not too high," the mother said.
"Higher, higher!" The girl clapped excitedly.
A mound of rock shattered and the black blast that had destroyed it flew off into the sky. The bird form of Beast Boy shrieked. He flew into the air, blasting randomly.
The girl stopped the swing with her short legs. She tripped and fell forward into the small rocks, and started crying. "Oh sweety!" The mother rushed to her aid.
The girl still cryed quietly. "It looks ok," the mom said, "Just a scrape." The girl's knee was scraped slightly and bleeding. The well prepared mom fished a bandaid from her purse and put it on. "There." she said. The girl stopped crying, and jumped into the mom's arms. The woman picked up her daughter and turned towards her son.
Beast Boy smelled blood. Sweet blood. It was nearby, not much of it, but the body that had produced it was full of the sweet blood. The blood of an innocent child. The dark crazed figure changed its flight course and flew towards the park, arriving there in a matter of seconds. The little boy, who's head was over his mom's shoulder, saw it. He screamed, pointing, and jumped down to hide under the bench. The mom turned around. "Oh my god!"
The little girl stood petrified with fear. She could faintly hear her mom telling her to move, to do anything, but it was too late. The bird flew upon her in an instant, snapping her neck with one slash of the powerful beak. The mom watched in horror as her world was torn in two. The girl's body fell onto her front side, her head turned to the side of the body, the spinal cord severed. Blood flowed out of the giant wound, along with small glands and organs. The mother threw up, then died from shock. The little boy amazingly enough was fast asleep under the bench.
Beast Boy swooped around to finish the job. He came down and landed on the girl, then began tearing her flesh and swallowing chunks whole. He turned the body over, then pierced a tiny hole in the girl's leg, and with a small straw like organ, he sucked out her blood. The dry body lay, a mess of skin, bones, and torn muscle, the head looking up at the beast but seeing nothing. The posessed Beast Boy did the same to the mother.
The boy woke up. He wasn't as afraid as before. Being three, he hadn't learned much yet, he thought he was still dreaming. He couldn't see his dead mother and sister, otherwise he would have been afraid. He slowly got out from under the bench, then turned and ran, his short legs not carrying him far before he tripped. The noise alerted Beast Boy.
The child got back up and began running agian, crying now. Beast Boy flew into the air. He'd sucked the mother dry. Her blood wasn't nearly as good as the girl's. Surely this boy's blood would be even sweeter. The bird swereved around and dived at the running boy. His beak hit the boy's back and pinned his now dead body squarely to the ground. Then the bird repeated its meal process.
And somewhere deep inside, the real Beast Boy watched in horror as his body was driven by madness to do this.
