Poor Twisted Me Chapter 15

Hi! Ozzy again. Okay, I just had a huge burst of inspiration, so I feel like going on a writing spree. Alright, before I answer reviews, to make sure I don't give away Deep Throat's identity away yet, I'll post a list of the people some of you guys guessed and say why they're NOT Deep Throat. So, if you see one of your guesses not on here, chances are, that's him.

Terra- I keep referring to Deep Throat as he, so it can't be her. Gizmo- Gizmo doesn't have supernatural powers. Mammoth- See above. Slade- Umm, Slade's kind of...dead. Goth- I...would think not... Lyrim- Lyrim was poisoned by Deep Throat, not to mention the numerous rendezvous they had together. Carmen- same reason as Terra, not to mention she's kind of...not evil. Fallen Cherub- The only one with supernatural powers is Ben, and he only has "pyrotechnically gifted" abilities.

So far that's all the wrong guesses I've gotten. Time to answer reviews!

Kestrel- I am SO evil, aren't I? Muahaha. Onward I write!

ScarletAngel68- my fav reviewer! What's up? Some of your guesses were pretty off, but I can understand your thinking there. Except for Slade, since he's, you know, dead and all. Don't hate me! As for what happened to Aqualad, I left that to the imagination. As for Izevm, you'll see.

Mrs. Myxztipik- I'm updating, I'm updating and you'll see who Deep Throat is...

Exiled-Knight- you know, you're the only one who realized that Latin was what was written on the wall. Have a cookie! And it translates to:

Reflex in the sky, warn you, you're going to die
Storm coming, you'd better hide from the atomic tide
Flashes in the sky turn houses into sties
Turns people into clay, radiation minds decay

If you're a Black Sabbath fan, you'll notice that it's an excerpt from their song "Electric Funeral". A couple words I had to guess, like 'atomic', 'radiation', and 'sties' because I didn't know what they were. So I can imagine why you would have some trouble with it And I will keep writing!

PrincessCat- Is it? I guess you'll have to find out yourself...and yeah, my grandma says it's going to be really hot down there, so I will take your advice .

KlausBaudelaire25- thanks for the offer, but I already know what happens. I'm privileged with a fast computer that can download stuff very quickly

Darkfire- Sorry, but it's not Terra! And I know what those represent! The green ones represent Beast Boy and the purple ones represent Raven! Oh, I'm good! No! Must...update... I live off your reviews...

Cd lover- Yes, I am very evil!!!! Hahaha!!! I can't think of a nicer way to put this so, all of your guesses were wrong! If you must know why, look up.

Aerinsoul- Maybe...I don't know...muahaha.

Bold Achilles- Ooh, Canada? Awesome! I love your story Stage Fright, by the way. Blame Canada! I haven't been to Canada, so I can't speak of a voice from experience. Yes, it is the butler! It's always been the butler! Rock on! m/

On with the story!


Robin stared, awestruck with both shock and confusion, into the now unmasked face of Deep Throat. That jet black hair...those deep, penetrating black eyes...it was impossible.

The entity formerly now as Deep Throat was really...Izevm. Their former ally. But how?

Robin snapped out of his shocked state and said, "Izevm? You? How can you be Deep Throat? We saw you get taken by Fenrir!"

Izevm chuckled evilly, his voice much more gruff and frightening than before.

"Yes, confusing, isn't it? Since your pitiful minds could not figure it out alone, allow me to explain.

"It all started a few weeks ago. I came to this world looking to summon an ancient deity named Lyrim, since he was impossible to summon from Azareth. You see, the ancient spell books told me that this creature had unfathomable power if called from his prison in the Underworld. I planned to summon him to do my bidding.

"But it seems Lyrim doesn't answer to any master, not even myself. Upon his summation, he surprised me and knocked me unconscious. While I was out, he called out his little hound friend Fenrir and left to do his own chaotic pleasures.

"When I awoke, he was nowhere in sight. For days I hunted him down, determined to exact my revenge. You see, if I could not control him, I might as well destroy him."

Raven clenched her fists, her rage escalating with each word that escaped his mouth, until her fingernails left marks in her palm.

Izevm cracked his knuckles before continuing, "When I at last found him, he had called that creature Orion, something I had not expected. I realized I could not defeat all three of them combined, so I looked for a method with which to dispose all three of them without getting my hands too dirty."

Robin snarled and said, "That method was us."

"Precisely, Robin. It was perfect. Here I had five more than capable means with which to do my deeds. But it only got better when I created that storm that knocked out the power. Those idiots that Beast Boy plays with did the dirty work of everything I would have had to do myself. Ben made the plans, something that I was more than capable of, Bobbo figured out the code quicker than I needed, and it all worked out my way, like everything should."

"You've got the biggest ego I've ever seen, you pig," Raven said, her words dripping with venom. Izevm ignored her, continuing,

"And to make it even better, once Orion and Lyrim had defeated you fools, that Ben did the rest. The gods favor me; it's so frustratingly obvious, in my humble opinion.

"But Lyrim still lived. I figured that if you didn't have the power to dispose of him, then I would have to do it myself. I disguised myself as Deep Throat, knowing Lyrim would be desperate for help. I was surprised by how easily fooled he was. But I got my alliance with him. All I needed to do was build on that relationship, and when the moment was right, kill him.

"And as the gods would choose, I still had use for the Teen Titans," he professed, spitting out the words 'Teen Titans'.

"I merely appeared to Robin in a dream and scared him. And as I predicted he would, he came to me looking for assistance. I was actually quite surprised how well my plan was working, but then again, the gods do uphold me.

"I arrived at your residence with a full plan already in the works. I merely excused myself to go up to the roof to meditate, knowing you would let me without a shred of suspicion in your minds. Once I was down far enough to where no one could see me, I made a copy of myself using a spell, and sent the copy up to the roof. I then teleported back to Lyrim and told him of my copy's, and presumably mine's, actions. I then suggested we dispose of it. As I predicted, Fenrir was sent to destroy of my copy, which he did successfully. Once the body of my copy was brought to Lyrim and myself, I had to merely propose a toast to our victories. I gave Lyrim a glass of champagne, which, of course, was poisoned. Ironically, it was the poison that Fenrir pumped into my copy to kill it."

Fenrir was listening to the conversation, almost forgetting about his prey. But when that last sentence clicked in, Fenrir was appalled.

'Person...kill...master? Master...gone?'

Fenrir's shock was soon replaced with an insurmountable fury. The demonic hound roared in pure fury.

'Fenrir kill!'

Izevm laughed, and with a flick of his wrist, Fenrir was out cold. The Azareth turned to the Titans and grinned.

"Let's quiet him down for a while, shall we?"

Beast Boy growled in anger and retorted, "I knew you couldn't be trusted!"

Izevm chuckled and continued, "And you were right, Beast Boy. But did your friends listen to you? No, of course not. After all, it was your word against mine. However, your so-called 'friends' should have listened to you. If they had, they would live to see the light of tomorrow."

Izevm's eyes turned blood red and his voice turned into an utterly demonic tone. He said, with a tone that screamed pure malice, "Now, I believe I have told you too much. You'd be much more use to me dead now."

A jet-black aura surrounded him as he began levitating in the air. As he continued to rise up, a torrent of tremors and earthquake shook the ground beneath the Titans, and miniature bolts of lightning shot out from Izevm, leaving the ground they hit charred black. Robin whipped out his Bo-staff and prepared for an attack as Starfire's eyes turned green once again. Raven took a fighting stance and prepared to attack as Beast Boy and Cyborg readied themselves. Fenrir's unconscious body shook from the earthquakes, but he showed no signs of waking. A blood-red portal appeared next to the evil creature, small as a basketball at first, but slowly getting bigger and bigger, until it was twice as tall as Izevm and four times as wide. Izevm snapped his fingers twice, and Fenrir's loose body bolted to a start. The apocalyptic hound's eyes turned red and he roared loud enough to put a tiger to shame.

Izevm turned his back on the Titans and faced the portal.

"You boys and girls have fun with Fenrir. Oh, and don't try to talk to him; I've got him under my control. He's my puppet now. Now if you'll excuse me, I believe I have a dimension to destroy. I'll see you all in hell one day," Izevm said, walking toward the portal.

Beast Boy had had enough. He growled, transformed into a tiger, and leaped with all his might at Izevm. Raven screamed, "No! Beast Boy!"

Izevm turned around, piqued by Raven's cry for help, and saw Beast Boy's outstretched claws an inch away from him. Reflexively, he held up his arms to block the attack. He managed to avoid getting slashed up, but the force of the attack knocked him back into the portal, taking Beast Boy with him.

Raven yelled and raced over to the diminishing gateway, but it disappeared into nothingness before she could reach it. She screamed, "Beast Boy! NO!"

But it was no use. Wherever the portal lead to was where he was now. And so was Izevm.

Raven growled and, in rage, punched at the ground. Her frustrated vents were interrupted by Robin's tap on her shoulder. She turned to face her masked leader, her eyes red with rage.

"WHAT!?"

Robin recoiled slightly from her furious response, but recovered in time to gesture to Fenrir, who was spying his quarry menacingly.

"We...have a problem."
(A/N: The moment you've all been waiting for! The fight with Beast Boy and Izevm! Woohoo!)

Outside of the Jump City forest, a new, blood red colored portal opened up. Out of it, two bodies flew out and hit the ground. The gateway disappeared, leaving only a short "Pff!" sound as it departed.

Izevm recovered from the fall and dusted his cloak off. Turning around, he saw Beast Boy standing straight up, perfectly regained. Not to mention he was positively fuming.

Izevm laughed cockily and turned to face Beast Boy. The dark mage smirked and said, "Not one to go down easily are you?"

Beast Boy was breathing heavily, almost to the point of snorting like a bull. His eyes were narrow slits, burning from his inferno of rage that was building up. He clenched his fists and snapped, "Coming on to Raven was bad enough. But trying to kill me an my friends...this is personal now."

Izevm grinned wider and said, "Oh, dear, Beast Boy, even now, in such a righteous fury, you can still manage to come up with another of your beloved one-liners? I think I'll just kill you now."

Beast Boy yelled, "Shut up!" and charged at Izevm in his neutral form. Izevm gracefully dodged the flying punches aimed at him, all the while having a huge smirk plastered on his face, as if he was playing with Beast Boy. The green shape shifter grew angrier with each failing blow, until he could take it no more and transformed into a bull, charging top speed towards the dark mage. Izevm was caught off guard, and took the blow to his chest full force. He was knocked back into a tree, which cracked and nearly toppled from the magnanimous force with which Beast Boy had attacked. Beast Boy snorted and transformed into a tiger, leaping at Izevm before he could recover. The Azareth had neither the time nor the reflexes to dodge the changeling, and thus was hit with the head of Beast Boy's merciless assault. The green metalhead swiped his paw at the evil creature repeatedly, slashing up his target's face and clothes to the point where his cloak was dyed red with blood.

Izevm roared with fury, and a black aura surrounded him. The aura knocked Beast Boy back, making him skid across the ground. Beast Boy recovered quickly about thirty feet away from Izevm and reverted to human form to prepare for a second attack.

Izevm chuckled, coughing up blood mid-laugh. Beast Boy, still panting from his relentless battery, snarled and said, "What's so funny?"

Izevm continued laughing and said, "You are much stronger than I had expected, you naïve fool. I might have to actually try this time."

Beast Boy groaned and replied, "And you're the one who was lecturing me on one-liners a few minutes ago?"

That wiped the smirk of Izevm's face. The Azareth roared as the black aura around him grew in size. It grew and grew until it was twice his size, and then it exploded.

The light from the explosion blinded Beast Boy, preventing him from seeing anything for a good thirty seconds. The blast barely missed him, but trees and shrubbery that were in its vicinity were completely and utterly incinerated. A tremor that could have knocked the Brooklyn Bridge down shook the ground obstinately, knocking Beast Boy off of his feet and onto his back. When Beast Boy's vision returned, he saw nothing but scorched dirt and the charred remains of what used to be plants paving the way between him and Izevm.

The Azareth made a funny sound, sort of like a cross between a snort and gasp. It must have signified shock, because his eyes were wide open and his mouth has slightly agape.

"Whoa...I missed."
"I swear to God, if I ever get my hands on Izevm I will rip him to shreds!" Raven yelled, rolling to avoid an attack from Fenrir. Cyborg fired off his sonic cannon, making a direct hit on the possessed creature.

"Join the club!" The hybrid yelled with frustration as Fenrir recovered perfectly from his attack. The demonic hound opened his mouth and bared his teeth, his jaws stretching so far apart you could see down his throat. From underneath his tongue, sort of midway between the tongue and his bottom front fangs, a large ball of venom shot out, heading straight for Cyborg. The half robot ducked just in time, leaving the poison to splatter against the wall, burning through it like a hot knife on butter.

The demonic hound roared with nuisance at his missed attack and jumped at Cyborg, who rolled out the way. Starfire threw an inundation of starbolts at the recovering hound, preparing more as they made contact. Fenrir yelped with pain as the starbolts hit their mark, burning his skin. Robin picked up and threw his bird-a-rang at their antagonist, but missing as Fenrir regained himself and jumped back to avoid the masked leader's attack.

"I, as well, must voice my great displeasure for this traitor," Starfire said calmly, suppressing her fury. Raven, fueled by her anger over Beast Boy's departure, said, "Azareth Metrion Zinthos!" Her eyes and hands glowed black, as a huge sphere of dark energy appeared, levitating between her raised hands. Grunting, she thrust the sphere at Fenrir. It did not hit him directly, but the resulting explosion caught him in its burning hot range, scalding him. The demonic hound roared in agony as he writhed under the intense heat, the pain growing with each passing second, until finally the explosion resided.

Fenrir fell to the ground, burnt to the point of being unable to move at all, but not to the point of death. Its mouth had been completely scorched off, save his eyes and bits of his upper jaw. His legs were so badly burnt they didn't even look like legs. Raven looked at the unmoving creature and quietly said, "This time, you won't be resurrected."

And with that, she turned her back.
Izevm recovered from his temporary state of shock and charged full speed at Beast Boy. The green changeling transformed into a cheetah and sped away, but Izevm formed a makeshift lasso out of dark energy and grabbed onto Beast Boy with it. The Azareth pulled back with a flick of his wrist, sending the now human Beast Boy quite literally into his hands. Izevm grabbed Beast Boy by the throat and hoisted him up in that air, causing him to gasp for breath.

Izevm smirked and said, "You know, there's an old saying that people who have lived life deeply have no fear of death. Tell me Beast Boy, are you afraid right now?"

Beast Boy struggled against Izevm's ironclad grip, but could not break free. Izevm faked a disappointed groan and said,

"Not answering, hmm? You must be too scared for words. There is one thing I am DYING to know, however."

Izevm laughed evilly and whispered into Beast Boy's ear, "Tell me, my good friend, what hurts more? The fact that your meaningless life is about to end alone and at the hands of the person your friends trusted?"

Beast Boy's anger was slowly escalating. He kicked and fought, but Izevm only tightened his grip, turning Beast Boy's face purple.

"Or the fact that once I'm gone, I'll be free to destroy each and every person you hold dear...especially...Raven. Thank whatever pitiful god you worship that you will not be alive to see me kill Raven. Because that would be infinetely worse than whatever Hell can serve up. Which is convienient, because that's where you're heading soon."

That was too much. Beast Boy roared and transformed into a cobra, slipping through Izevm's grip. This caught the Azareth way off guard, allowing Beast Boy to sink his fangs into Izevm's leg. The green shape shifter emptied his venom sacs into his enemy, and then darted away before Izevm could react, slithering quietly in the grass.

Izevm roared with pain as the venom slowly made its way through his bloodstream. With a wave of his hand, Izevm made the poison disappear entirely. Beast Boy reverted to his normal form about a hundred meters away from Izevm, his primal instincts having taken over. He shifted into the form of an eagle rapidly and sprinted through the air towards his opponent. Izevm saw Beast Boy coming, but by then Beast Boy had gained enough speed to grab Izevm by his hair before the dark mage could react. Izevm screamed with pain as Beast Boy snatched Izevm's hair with his razor sharp talons. Izevm lashed out, but could not hit Beast Boy. The green shape shifter flew backwards, dragging Izevm along by his scalp.

Izevm squirmed and yelled in anguish as he was hauled across the floor, marred by both the lug on his head and the rocks and gravel that cut him up as he was dragged along. Just when Izevm had had enough, Beast Boy let go and soared up gracefully. The dark mage gingerly touched his pain-ridden head, wincing from his contact. He turned around in anger only to see a full-sized bear charging at him. His reflexes slowed by pain, he could only block with his arms.

Beast Boy jumped and landed on Izevm with all his weight. Pinning Izevm to the ground with his arms, he snorted hot breath into Izevm's face. The Azareth was about ready to concede.

Izevm held up his hands and said, "Please! I've had enough! Don't kill me! I'll do whatever you ask!"
Raven blasted away at the rock walls with her powers, fueled by her desire to rip Izevm's head off. Blow after blow she dealt to the walls, each one wearing the stone barrier down. It seemed that Izevm's exodus from the maze had made the walls normal and completely penetrable.

Raven turned to her teammates, who were still a little bugged out by Fenrir's current state, and yelled, "Don't just stand there! Help me blast our way out of here so we can find Izevm and Beast Boy!"

Cyborg grinned and nodded. Whipping out his sonic cannon, he said, "I thought you'd never ask!"

Starfire assisted blasting away at the rocks, although she was silent as she did so. Robin couldn't help the excavation, so he let his thoughts wander as his comrades blasted away.
Beast Boy changed back to his normal form, though remaining in a position that prevented Izevm from fleeing. Eying the Azareth suspiciously, he said, "You surrender?"

Izevm nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, just don't kill me! I'll do anything!"

Beast Boy got up and leered at his adversary. "You're telling me that you go around killing people to 'liberate them', but when your life is on the line, all of a sudden it's the most important thing in the world?"

Izevm shook his head and said, "I know! Just spare me, please!"

Beast Boy pondered for a minute, and then grinned, an idea popping into his head. He turned to Izevm, a huge smile displayed on his face, and said, "Okay...if you want me to spare you, first you must...get down and grovel."

Izevm complied and knelt down. Beast Boy was beginning to enjoy this.

"Okay, now get down on your knees and repeat after me," Beast Boy said, savoring every minute of this.

"I'm a little piggy."

"What!?"

"Just say it!"

"Gr...fine...I'm a little piggy..."

Beast Boy pushed up on his nose with his finger, making a snout-like appearance, and continued, "Here's my snout."

"Grrrr...here's my snout."

"Oink oink oink, oink oink oink," Beast Boy said, saying the 'oinks' in a singsong voice. Izevm grumbled again and repeated it.

Izevm got up from his knees and asked with an irritated tone, "Is that all?"

Beast Boy scratched his chin and said, "Hmmmm...I guess. Now leave. Leave and never return."

Izevm nodded silently and began walking slowly. Beast Boy turned his back on Izevm and began walking away. A huge mistake.

Izevm cackled evilly and threw a volley of dark energy spheres at Beast Boy's back. The green changeling heard Izevm's laugh, but was hit by the attack before he could even turn around. Beast Boy was knocked forward a good couple yards and landed on his face, unconscious before he hit the ground.

Izevm laughed to himself and said, "What a fool."
After about fifteen minutes of blasting and excavating, Raven finally saw some light shining through a hole in the wall. Freedom!

"I think we've got it!" she yelled happily. She knew it was not like her to act overjoyed like this, but she didn't care. Focusing her energy for one last blast, she made a decent sized ball of dark energy and hurled it at the crack. And as fate would have it, it crumbled away, leaving a hole big enough for everyone to escape through. Raven was about to jump out when she saw Izevm standing on the ground next to Beast Boy, who looked unconscious.

Raven could only watch in horror as a jet-black aura streaked with blood red striped surrounded Izevm. He slowly rose up in the air, laughing maniacally as he did so. Another huge upheaval rattled the ground, and dark clouds in the skies appeared and began to pour water like the world was going to be flooded again. The furious rain was interspersed with raging bolts of lightning that struck the ground relentlessly and torrents of thunder that was louder than an AC/DC concert. The aura around Izevm grew larger as he continued rising up into the air. With each passing minute, the surges of rain amplified, the thunder increased its already substantial stridence, and the bolts of lightning hastened. Izevm continued rising until he was a good two hundred meters above the ground. He began muttering under his breath, quiet at first, but getting louder with each word until he overshadowed the din of the thunder. His hands glowed a blood red aura as he chanted, and his eyes turned a deep, saturated shade of burgundy. Upon finishing his chanting, he laughed maniacally as the aura from his hands shot out like a beam of light. It increased in area until it was one huge blanket of blood red light that covered all of Jump City. With one final cackle, he thrust his hands down, the blanket of light following suite.

"NO!!" Raven screamed, but it was too late. As the veil of light made contact with the city, it shone a bright white light. Raven could see the citizens running with panic to avoid the light from her spot, but the white light blinded grew in size and blinded her. She shielded her eyes with her hands, trying to block it out. As the light overcame her, she thought she could hear the sound of Starfire screaming.
"Owww...my head..." Raven moaned. She got up from her abode on the ground and took a minute to study her surroundings. She had been lying on the ground, probably unconscious. So had everyone else, she noticed, as she saw Starfire, Robin, Cyborg, and Beast Boy all out cold, all within a few yards of each other.

When Raven looked around, she was surprised. Actually, she was closer to astonished, blow away out of her mind, overwhelmingly incredulous, and downright stupefied. She rushed over to her teammates and woke each one up hurriedly.

"Beast Boy! Cyborg! Starfire! Robin! Wake up!" she said, each one of them awaking on cue.

"Dude...what the hell happened?" Beast Boy said, startled by Raven's look of genuine fear. The Azareth pointed to their surroundings and said, "Look!"

Cyborg followed her gesture and said, "What are we looking for...Jesus Christ monkey balls!"

What had once been her peaceful hometown had been transformed into what can be best described as a sadistic murder's fantasy gone awry. In place of the normally blue sky, it was now an ominously creepy shade of red interlaced with black. There was not a cloud to be found.

In place of their normal sun, a sun blacker than the night was there. It spat out bolts of fire and flares that could be seen from Earth. Or...what had been Earth.

Where Jump City had once existed was replaced by what looked like ruins of a city a million years old. The buildings were rusted and worn down, with pipes sticking out, spraying water that was a disgusting cross between brown and blue. Cobwebs the size of an SUV coated the entire city, and spiders the size of a newborn baby crawled all over them.

There was not a human in sight. The utter silence that hung in the air was terrifying and disturbed them all.

Starfire ran over to Robin and buried her head into his shoulder. "Robin, what is this? What happened to our home?" she cried, her eyes welling with tears. Robin shook his head.

"I wish I knew, Starfire. I wish I knew."
Woohoo! What's gonna happen next? Just wait for the next chapter to find out! Okay, just so everyone knows, the next couple of chapters are going to be more horror-oriented. Dunno why. I just sorta felt like it.

Okay, and the people who knew that Deep Throat was Izevm were:

PrincessCat

Congratulations! And she gets it because she KNEW Deep Throat was Izevm, not because she was guessing. Okay, so read and tell me what you think!
