I don't own Teen Titans.


13

The Titans lept to their feet and dodged the colomn of fire. They ran as fast as they could, four of them anyway, Starfire was flying.

Raven jumped as darts of black flame shot at her.

"Why...is...it...only...going...for...you?" panted Beast Boy, running beside Raven.

"It's obviously working for my Father...look out!" she screamed, and she pushed him to the side. They fell over and rolled, but weren't hit by the colomn of ebony fire that had been shot at them.

The two scrambled to their feet and started sprinting once again.

"Friends, why does it get so dark ahead?'' asked Starfire.

"Oh no," Raven, being at the front, skidded to a halt right before a high, black dune.

Beast Boy skidded to a halt behind her, and Robin behind him. Raven swayed, the three of them holding their breath. They steadied and exhaled, relieved.

Then, Cyborg slammed into them from behind, sending them tumbling down the dune. Starfire swooped down and caught Robin. Raven tried to levitate, but her chanting was stopped as she recieved a mouth full of sand.

She, Beast Boy and Cyborg landed in a heap at the bottom of the dune, Raven at the bottom, Beast Boy sandwiched in the middle and Cyborg on the top.

"Dudes, let's not do that again," muttered Beast Boy.

"Agreed," came the muffled sound of Raven's monotoned voice.

There was a roar above them as the Vraal started to take flight off the top of the dune.

"Did I say stop running at some point of time while we were falling?" asked Raven.

Cyborg, Beast Boy and Raven lept to their feet and started running again. Beast Boy didn't want to change into an animal incase the Vraal liked Cheetah pate.
Raven didn't wish to levitate and abandon her friends.

"I must put you down now, Robin," said Starfire. She wasn't feeling very confident at the moment, and unable to summon her alien stregnth, Robin was quite heavy.

Robin dropped to the ground and ran next to Cyborg.

Raven, at the front, spun around and sent two darkbolts at the Vraal. It flew left and the darkbolts shot past it.

Raven started running again. Then, she saw a small jagged rock jutting out the ground.

Deadman's field she thought.

Deadman's field was a place that all Azarethians had been forbidden to go. It was a vast feild of enormous jagged rocks.The rocks were said to immit fumes that would cause someone to see un-real or multipled objects.

"Everyone, this way!" instructed Raven, and she turned right to the field.

The Titans ran onto it and ducked behind the rocks.

"Stay here, and try to hold your breath," whispered Raven.

She crept out behind her rock, crawling to the next one. She had to get away from her friends, otherwise if the Vraal tried to fry her, it might hurt her friends aswell.

Twelve rocks away from the other Titans, Raven lept up and shouted to the Vraal.

It turned to her and sent flames dancing in her direction. She dived out the way and summoned her powers. The jagged rock to her left was enveloped in a black aura and was flung at the Vraal. Raven clenched her fist and the stone splintered and the pieces of stone impaled into the creatures face, including it's eyes.

It sent jets of pitch black fire everywhere in it's pain. Raven threw herself behind a rock as the nearest jet flew past her.

She then lept to her feet and ran into the field of stone.

Furious and seeking vengeance, the Vraal chased her.
But the fumes were already seeping into the monster's eyes. It chased one hundred Raven, crashing into rocks.

It sent more jets of fire at where it thought the girl was. It was going into a fit.

Raven couldn't waste any time. She lept out from behind the rock she was crouching behind and chanted.

Her hands were enveloped in a sparkling aura of the palest blue.

"In nominee patris hespereth alduron mortix!" she cried, and threw the sparkling bolts at the Vraal. Blue flames fell of the bolts as they flew. The trail of fire it left also chased the Vraal, and encircled it. The flames incase it, and the Vraal fell to the ground.

Raven lent against a rock. That spell exhausted her, but at least the creature was dead.

It was then she felt warm breath on her neck.

She screamed, then fell into darkness.

"Yes! Did you see that, did you see that?" yelled Beast Boy, excitedly, as the Vrall fell to the ground in the distance.

"We must congratulate friend Raven," smiled Starfire.

Then, the four Titans heard a blood curdling scream.

They looked at each other, then ran to he source of the scream, trying to not fear the worst.
