Stars of the Dark Chapter 3

Disclaimer: If I owned Teen Titans I would not be writing this story now would I?

"Behind you!" shouted Raven suddenly. Legaj turned to face this new opposition, and reached for the TY-0374HSN model variable yield condensed energy hand-cannon on his belt. After registering that this newcomer was a threat he drew the weapon and raised it to shoot. He got about half way. Suddenly his face contorted into a grimace of extreme pain and he dropped to one knee clutching his right elbow, the enemy continued to charge. "Shit…" said Legaj in an exhausted voice. Just as it seemed the pitch black clad adversary was close enough to kill Legaj with his massive mace… he was hit in the side of the head by a bomb. "Titans, GO!" (I'm not telling who said this cuz it's so obvious) upon herring this command from Robin (there are you happy now) the titans sprung into action.

The first up was Cyborg who charged the demonic soldier down and attempted to beat him into submission. His initial attack was smashed aside by the demon's mace and all further attempts at an attack were dodged, the demon waited for a suitable opening and caught Cyborg under the chin with his great big mace, which sent him flying.

Next came Beast Boy who shifted into an Elephant form and charged down the demon, which jumped up onto his back and bashed him in the head about 10 times before BB fell unconscious. He shifted back into humanoid form because of his unconsciousness. The demonic entity raised his mace with intent to kill Beast Boy, but was interrupted by a flurry of green star bolts from Star-Fire. In order to avoid these attacks he back-flipped off of BB's body causing the bolts to hit Beast-boy, who promptly woke up. "DUUUDDDEEE," he wined, "who's side are you on anyway!"

"I am truly sorry friend. I did not mean to-" She never got to finish her sentence as a projectile, which seemed to be destroying all light around it, had been hurled at her by the Demon Guard. She tried to dodge out of the way, but caught the black thing on the shoulder; the wound it left was gaping and horrible and was bleeding most profusely. She fell to the earth and slammed into the ground with a sickening crunch.

"STAR FIRE!" Robin yelled. He rushed over to her to see if she was all right, she was. The wound was bad but her Tameranian blood had already started to heal it. There was no time to celebrate however as the Dark Soldier was preparing to hurl another anti-light bolt at them both, he paused however when he saw Raven out of the corner of his eye. "Ahhh…" he said in a voice that sounded hollow and echoed when there was nothing around for the sound to bounce from, "there you are Raven, master wants a word with you."

He began to walk towards her. In a desperate attempt to keep him away from her she hefted a car from the street and hurtled it at the beast, he flipped a switched on his mace and a black shield was erected to stop the vehicle. He reached her in a surprisingly short time considering that he was walking, and grasped her hand. The engraving that Slade had put there glowed and she yelled in pain, the 7 foot tall black-clad being raised her off the ground… and a four-inch hole appeared in his head. The being dropped Raven and fell on to his knees before collapsing completely, he was dead. Behind him Legaj stood, his gun still pointed at the place where the beings head once resided.

Ever since the Titans had distracted the Blood-Guard (more on that later) he had been preparing for the time when he would have a clear shot at the monsters head. He had first unloaded his current clip and replaced it with a new one, which he drained into the gun's capacitor, he then reloaded a new clip and set the yield to 75, which drained two clips worth of energy and converted it into a solid beam of energy. He then shifted the gun into his left hand and stood up, took aim and pulled the trigger.

He dropped his arm and collapsed on to his knee again as a new wave of pain hit him. His vision blurred as the Titans, all of them, clustered around him, Robin kneeled down next to him. "Are you O.K.? Hay!"

Legaj fell unconscious.

Note: God damnit.

Complaint: Did you not read the summery? I SAID REVIEW DAMNIT! I absolutely refuse to continue the story until I get one (just ONE) review. Is one review really all that much to ask? COME ON PEOPLE!
