Chapter 4
X'eltaroth fired a starbolt to see if she had fully absorbed Starfire's powers, of which she had.
Raven immediately appeared on the roof, as her telepathic mind picked up the pain of Starfire, and the sadistic joy of X'eltaroth.
"You…you killed Starfire! X'eltaroth, how could you!"
"I had to. She was the only one of you that has never seen death. With her death, I can gain life!"
Raven stepped back, preparing herself to attack the ghost if necessary.
"You didn't like her. That was incredibly obvious. So…I think I did you a favor. You should be grateful." X'eltaroth said simply, as she kneeled beside the limp body of Starfire.
"Grateful? You think I should be grateful?" Raven's eyes widened as the audacity of X'eltaroth's comment registered in her brain. "You were given a home to stay here and you killed one of the people who tried to defend you when the Knights came to banish you directly to hell?"
"Raven, you get so upset over these little things! What was she to you? A so-called friend? You have no friends! Besides, you didn't like her anyway. You were a lot tougher back then, Raven. You are soft. It is as if you have…forgotten how to be cold."
Raven growled in a sinister way at this. "My not liking her has nothing to do with you. That gave you absolutely no reason to kill her."
You get so upset over trifles.
"Well I think that I have that right!" yelled Raven, her fists aglow with black light.
Take this seriously because it's important!
"Temper, temper, Raven dear. We wouldn't want another of your friends to get hurt, now would we?" threatened X'eltaroth.
Please don't lose your temper, don't get upset.
I still have a great deal more to tell you.
I want to see you again someday.
"You won't have the opportunity if you are dead," Raven raised her hands and black energy enveloped X'eltaroth.
"GET AWAY! YOU AREN'T WANTED HERE!" Raven yelled angrily, as she stepped menacingly closer.
"Azarath Hezlanaron Mortix!" Raven chanted. Nothing was happening to the ghost, as she simply absorbed the black energy and shot it back at her, knocking Raven over the edge.
So leave me alone! Away with you!
"Raven!" bellowed Beast Boy as he, almost automatically, morphed into a pterodactyl and caught her. He flew back up to the roof, resting the unconscious Raven in a corner, far away from the imminent crossfire. His eyes caught sight of the blood-covered Starfire.
"How…how could you?" Beast Boy managed to choke out, running over to Starfire.
You good for nothing, also mocker.
"We trusted you," said Beast Boy. Robin and Cyborg had rushed upstairs to see the girls, either dead or passed out.
You're rotten at inside and outside.
"I suppose I should be upset at what I did. Too bad I'm not. Pity and regret are two of the vast emotions that I have impermeated myself to feeling. What can I say?"
Robin looked daggers at X'eltaroth.
"How dare you," he growled angrily, his voice slightly cracking. "We gave you a place to stay and protection from your hunters. And you betrayed us. What did they ever do to you?"
X'eltaroth turned her back to the Titans. She cocked her head to one side. Her black hair blew wildly in the wind.
She was blood-covered, but still beautiful in her own ghastly way. Her blue garb was stained purple from all the blood that she was covered in.
"You do not seem to understand," she said simply. "Starfire has never seen anything die. In contrary, I have seen and caused many deaths.. You see, on Azarath, the death of a pure soul can be sacrificed in order to give life to ghost. That is how it works,"
Tidy yourself up! Shame on you! (This doesn't fit in. Oh well)
"My mind works in morbid ways. Raven did not pick up that I only wanted to use her. And guess what, my plan is working. I am gaining life. You were still my friends, but you hate me now. It's not your fault."
I don't dislike you, but I don't make friends.
I want to see you again someday
So, leave me alone. Away with you!
I want to see you again someday.
So leave me alone. Away with you!
Everyone told me that I was wrong
I have nothing to do with it!
They gave me a lot of advice
I don't want to have anything to do with you!
Raven stirred, slowly getting up, rubbing her forehead.
"Azarath coracoids entrapis dimensionis, repundis trapsis, Destructis." she mumbled.
A black dome encircled X'eltaroth. She could not phase through or use her powers, as she was gaining life, and her powers had transferred to Star's lifeless body.
"How could you, X'eltaroth? We trusted you!"
X'eltaroth smiled dangerously.
"You were dumb enough to believe me."
X'eltaroth's hands and eyes glowed a bright green as a blitzkrieg of starbolts shot forth from her hands and eyes. The colour soon changed to grey, as the sins of her soul darkened the colour of the once innocent powers.
The dome was lowered. Raven staggered back onto Beast Boy, the impact knocking her back.
"BANISHUS!" yelled X'eltaroth. In a flash of gray light, Cyborg, Robin and Beast Boy vanished into thin air.
"You have no one to help you now, Raven. Your so-called friends have deserted you. Seems to me that they were not your friends after all."
Raven struggled to sit up.
"They left because you sent them away!"
Raven was in obvious pain, and it showed clearly on her bloody, stressed body.
X'eltaroth's katana appeared.
"This is your end."
CCMW here! Sorry for the short chapter guys! You know, the usual, school (summer, where art thou?), homework, and various other crap that I hate doing. As usual, big thanks to the reviewers, and yes, Starfire really is dead. And unless she does something to make me like her, dead on the roof of Titans' Tower she will remain. Suggestions are welcome (hint, hint). And read "Twas the Night Before Christmas" by Crazy Queen 101. Funny, that thing is. The link to her profile is http/ Be sure to review. She's been hounding me to. And tell all your Titan loving friends about it!
And don't expect an update for a while. Not until MAY.
Thanks a bunch.
