I don't own Teen Titans.

18

Beast Boy fought off the hundreds of vampires swarming over him. There had been a loophole in the oath Raven had forced Aldurah into, and he made that clear. Himself, Slade and the shadow demons couldn't hurt the Titans, but the vampires could.

But, suddenly, the vampires screached in fear. They took off into the sky.

A light was beaming from behind the sacrificial block. Something with large silver wings started to levitate into the air from behind it. It's long, waist legnth violet hair waved in the wind. It was holding a shimmering royal-blue orb.

Raven turned around. The world seemed to be on pause as everyone watched this small, pale girl.

She stared right back. She whispered something under her breath. Strange glass orbs encircled each Titan seperately.

Raven then dropped the orb.

Aldurah bellowed to his followers to retreat, but no-one had noticed that a black tar-like substance had covered the temple top. Slade, David, Aldurah and all the shadow demons were stuck. Trigon, as big-headed as he was, thought he could withstand anything his puny daughter sent his way. Vampires are very curious creatures, and everyone of them wanted to see what happened next.

The orb hit the temple top with a quiet, muffled klink.

It had the effect of an atomic bomb.

White shockwaves exploded from the ball, incinerating all in it's path. The orbs around the Titans were rippling, but keeping them safe from harm.

The orb stopped emmiting shockwaves and then, in silence, a rippling blue orb started to consume the temple, starting at the smaller orb and erupting into a larger one(anyone seen Alien vs Predator?).

Then, the orb disappeared. There was a rumbling sound and the shields around the Titans disappeared. Without a second thought, the Titans took off into the air, Starfire holding Robin, Pterana-BB holding Cyborg.

The landed safely on the ground below to watch the temple collapse infront of their eyes.

"Booyah! We did it!" yelled Cyborg.

"Friend Ravenhas 'did it'!" cried Starfire.

"Where is Raven?" asked Robin.

The Titans looked at each other. They then ran to the rubble, once a great temple, and started digging.

Robin was wrenching up the smaller rocks.

Cyborgs were a little larger.

Starfire was lifting giant boulders into the air.

Beast Boy, panicing, had turned into an Allosaurus and was smashing every rock in sight.

"Guys..." Robin's voice trailed off.

Everyone ran to his side. A slender, grey hand was poking out from under a rather large boulder.

Beast Boy, back in human form, experianced one of those strange miracles that come rare in this time. His love for Raven forced his sub-concious mind to make him believe, just for a moment, that there was still a chance that she wasn't...that there was a chance that she was still...

His sub-concious mind forced him to pick up this boulder, to save the girl he loved, there was still a chance.

His love gave him the stregnth, and he lifted the boulder into the air and threw it as far as he could.

"Raven, please wake up now," he begged, holding her icy hand.
"Please, wake up!" He started to shake her.

"Friend Beast Boy, I do not think she can hear you. I do not think she will awaken," said Starfire, tears silently flowing down her cheeks.

"No, you're lying. She's fine, she's fine, she'll be OK, she's just sleeping, I'm just sleeping, I'll wake up and everything will be OK," he muttered, trying to convince himself.

When you truly love someone, you think of any possible excuse when something of this nature comes into your life.

Beast Boy knew it was hopeless, Starfire was right, Raven was...Raven was...

Raven had told him she would die during this ritual, but he had understood her wrong. She had not ment during the ending of the world, she had ment while saving it.

A small, wooden ball rolled next to Beast Boy, pushed by an un-seen force.

It started to glow, and the Titan's world went white, then black as they were sucked into the ball

So sad. R&R, next chapter will be the last.
