Hello again, I got some reviews! So someone must like the story if they took the time to gripe about it. Just joking they liked it. I got a review from "CrazyDeafGirl ( )" and I have plans to include her sooner or later in the story along with some others on my list (characters). I'm sorry it took this long to write this chapter, I'm just a little too lazy for my own good.
Please read and review, hope you like it and if their is anything you dont like or want put it in the reviews.
Ch. 2
You were warned.
Inside the Titan mobile they all sat impatiently waiting for Beast Boy, who had said that he was buying them all breakfast (even though it was about 2 in the afternoon). They had been in the car for about ten minutes now and some of the Titans had very little patience when they were hungry. Raven was getting a little worried, and she had a good reason too. She decided to check. "I'm going to see what's taking him so long, I'll be right back." Raven said as she removed her seat belt.
"Please hurry, my stomache is making odd noises that are beginning to frighten me." Starfire said, rubbing her belly.
Raven began getting out of the car when the ground began to shake very slightly, but enough to feel. Raven ran began to run towards her room. The other Titans jumped out of the car and went outside to see if they could find out what was going on. When they went outside the sky had gone black, two minutes ago it had been a sunny cloudless day, now it was as dark as night. Robin knew something was going on that Raven wasn't telling them. Raven was five feet from her door when the ground shook again, the force of it knocking her off of her feet. She got back up fast and ran to her door, it was open, and the book was gone. She began to run towards Beast Boy's room. Starfire began to fly into the air to see if she could spot anything that could cause the tremors, because they seemed unnatural. Robin watched her. Cyborg made a dash towards his computer inside the tower. Raven opened the door, but no one was there. She began to search the rest of the tower. When Cyborg got to his computer he checked where the tremors were originating. Robin began to run inside when another tremor occured, more violent than the last ones. Starfire watched Robin get thrown into a wall and land on the ground. She flew over and picked him up.
"You are unhurt?" She said concerned.
"I'm fine, let's get inside and see if Cyborg found out whats going on." He replied.
Robin was on foot, the tremor this time didn't end. He had trouble standing up. Starfire hovered about a foot off the ground, it was still dangerous because even though she wasn't shaking everything else was. She was constantly running into the wall, floor, or ceiling. When they got upstairs, Cyborg was grabbing several of the monitors that had got thrown across the room.
"Where are they coming from? What's causing them?" Robin asked quickly, agitation in his voice.
"Something can't be right. Everything I check says the tremors are originating here. Even weirder, It says they are occuring in the air..." He replied.
Raven had just checked every area of the Tower, except... She dashed for the roof exit.
"That can't be right. You must be doing something wrong." Robin was arguing with Cyborg.
"Dude, I'm telling you. It says Titans Tower, and it shows it right above the roof!" Cyborg yelled.
"No more angry remarks!" Starfire shouted. "We must work together. Robin and I shall check the roof for anything that might cause it, and you will look to see if you could be incorrect."
They both stared at her, suprised by this sudden anger she expressed. They looked at each other, nodded, and then Robin and Starfire made their way to the roof.
Raven was at the the door when the tremor stopped. She gave a sigh, then opened the door.
Robin was thinking and he began to wonder where could Raven and Beast Boy be, and did Beast Boy's disappearance have something to do with the tremors. He didnt even realize the tremors had stopped, he was too deep in thought. Starfire noticed and stopped. Robin noticed it and turned.
"Why did you stop?" Robin asked.
"The vibrations have ended again." She replied.
He looked around. They sure did. He was concerned now. "Go check the Tower, look for Raven and Beast Boy. I'm going to check the roof." He said. Starfire turned and began to head back to check the Titan's rooms. Robin headed for the roof.
Cyborg looked up. He turned and headed for the roof.
Raven was outside looking at two things fighting. One was green the other was a bright red, almost like flames. It was Beast Boy. He was a gorilla, but he was fighting what appeared to be a ball of fire. Beast Boy recieved a heavy blow to the stomach, then was lifted into the air and thrown to the other side of the Tower, going throught the floor and into the Tower. The 'flames' hadn't noticed Raven yet. He turned and picked up a book.
NOW TO FILL YOU IN ON WHAT'S GOING ON AT THIS POINT! Robin is heading to the roof. Cyborg is heading to the roof. Starfire is checking out the rooms wondering where Beast Boy and Raven are. Beast Boy is two floors below the roof, on the ground unconsious because he underestimated the power of an Archon. Raven is now looking at Zeratul, General of Tassadar's armies, and the second most powerful Archon in existence. Zeratul is picking up the book that just a few minutes ago he was trapped within. He is attempting to free his master Tassadar, and his fellow general Artanis. The book is of course "The Chronicles of Chaos".Now back to the story!
Raven knew she had to do something, but she also knew if the demon saw her she wouldn't stand a chance against it. She stood up straight and took a deep breath. She looked and saw the demon pick up the book. It began flipping through the pages. She focused her magic, the book was surrounded in her magic and the Archon released it in suprise. It began to look around searching for the source of the magic. The book was floating quickly towards Raven. The demon watched the book and then noticed Raven. She saw the dark silhoutte of the demon within the flames, it sent a cold shiver through her spine. The demon began to move towards her at a fast pace. She lost her concentration and dropped the book. She had just enough time to leap out of the way as the Archon brought a huge arm down on the exit she was standing in. The exit was shattered instantly. When she landed the demon swung horizontally, swiping her away with a powerful fist. The power of the demon was incredible, now had an idea of its immense power. She landed hard on the helipad, but she sat up and saw the demon pick up the book. She looked at her arm which had struck by the beast. It had burnt through the sleeve and left her skin charred. 'That was going to leave a mark.' She thought. The demon was fumbling through the pages when an object struck it in the side of the head. The demon looked towards Raven thinking it was her who had thrown it. Then Robin gave a loud yell as he flew through the air towards the Archon, staff ready to strike. He landed a powerful blow on the demon, knocking it off ballance. But when it noticed Robin, It grabbed him with one hand, lifted him into the air, and flung him over the Tower.
"NO!" Raven screamed. She got up and ran towards the edge.
Starfire flew by, Robin in one hand, Cyborg in the other. Cyborg jumped on the Archon punching it several times and then getting thrown off and landing with a thud. Starfire dropped Robin on the helipad. She then turned towards the demon and unleashed a barrage of starbolts at it. Raven went to grab the book, but the Archon obviously wasn't slowed any by the bolts. It backhanded her and knocked her directly into Starfire, knocking them both down to the roof of the Tower. The demon picked up the book, and began to read from it. Raven sat up, and noticed what it was doing.
"Don't let it read from the book!" She screamed. But it was too late.
A blue and black whirlpool appeared above the demon. There was a flash of light and the ground began to shake violently agian. Then another demon appeared next to the first. They looked almost identical, only the first was red, and the second was blue. The first demon cursed in some odd language, its voice was deep but raspy. The second demon looked around and saw the Titans standing there.
"Where is the emperor?" The second Archon asked the first. His voice was deeper and sounded like an echo of many voices.
"Still in the book. These humans are delaying me. Kill them." It replied.
"Very well."
NOW I SHALL REFER TO THE DEMONS BY THERE NAMES (RED/FIRSTZERATUL, BLUE/SECONDARTANIS) Just a little FYI
Artanis was much larger than Zeratul, obviously he was going to be stronger. He began to move towards Cyborg who was still wondering what in the world was going on. Artanis lifted him off his feet and threw him through the floor. Robin leapt at it, his staff ready for this new foe. Artanis caught the staff, and it began to melt. Robin released it and took several steps back in awe. Raven stood up, she looked around.
'Where was Beast Boy?' She thought.
She shook her head, she needed to focus on the current problem. She saw Zeratul flipping through the pages of the book. She looked at Starfire who was just now getting up.
"Starfire, head left, I'll go right. We have to stop that thing before it releases their master." Raven said.
Starfire nodded and began to fly rapidly towards Zeratul. Raven did the same. Starfire unleashed another barrage upon the beast, Raven began to use her telekinetic powers to pick up large pieces of concrete that had been destroyed. Artanis shielded the book from the projectiles then it lifted its hand and flames came from it towards Raven. Artanis grabbed Starfire with one hand and threw her into Robin who was fumbling through his utility belt for anything that he could use on the demon. The flames struck Raven knocking her off her feet and towards the edge of the roof. Zeratul began to read from the book again...
Raven stood up, but then she just stared at Zeratul and dropped to her knees. Zeratul finished reading and then closed the book. He looked around.
"Did it work?" Artanis asked, he was holding Cyborg by the neck. Everyone was looking at Zeratul wondering if it had worked.
Zeratul cursed again. He opened the book, looking through the pages. "Somethings not right. I did what is says to do. He should be here!"
Artanis resumed strangling Cyborg, then threw him. He moved towards Zeratul and looked at the book.
"Are you sure you did everything? I heard that if you do one thing wrong it won't work." Artanis said trying to make himself sound smart.
"Shut-up! Why do you think I'm reading from the book and not you?" Zeratul replied, the agitation in his voice really stood out.
The two demons began to argue like children over the book. The Titans all gathered around.
"These guys are pure evil demons who want to destroy the universe?" Robin asked. He was confused, they were acting like two kids fighting over a toy.
"They are the strongest demons in existence. The blue one is Artanis. The red one is Zeratul. They are trying to free their master, Tassadar." Raven explained to them.
"Well how do we stop them?" Cyborg asked.
"We let them fight, and then we take the book. I need you guys to distract them while I read from the book. If I can then we can banish them into the book... again." Raven told them.
"Ok.. umm. We can do that. Right? I mean how hard can it be if we all take them on at the same time?" Robin stated.
"These two have killed millions of beings, they have never lost a fight, and they are stronger than anything we have ever fought. I take that back. Stronger than anything." Raven replied.
"Thank-you soo much for that. Now I really feel like fighting them." Cyborg said with a sigh.
They turned towards the two demons and watched them yell at each other over who was going to read from the book. Zeratul picked up a piece of concrete and beat Artanis over the head with it. Artanis was stunned and released the book. Zeratul then opened it again and looked for the right page. Artanis was furious. He turned and picked up Zeratul and threw him over the roof and onto the ground around the Tower. Artanis was so happy with the thought of beating Zeratul that he forgot that Zeratul was still holding onto the book...
"Oops.." Artanis said stupidly.
The Titans were staring in awe at the stupidity of the strongest being in the known universe.
Artanis ran to the edge and looked for any sign of Zeratul. Then a bright beam of light appeared from the ground below, and the ground shook violently.
The Titans turned towards Raven, who now had a stupid look on her face.
"Well... Didn't see that one coming." Raven said.
