I haven't updated for a loooooooong time(So long I'm afraid to check) so it's about time I stopped being lazy and finished this(And no, this isn't the last chappie). So here is chapter 26... And lucky for me, a certain site hasn't taken my story off for an unexplained reason.

" Trigon, you monster..." Beast Boy remarked

" Why thank you." The demon gestured " I never did need that fool Malchior to take over her mind. All I needed was my amulet."

" ...She hates you, and no spell can change that."

" Really? Then let us test her." He sneered " Raven, attack the green boy!"

" It will be done..." Raven muttered blankly

She lifted her hand and faced her palm toward her new enemy as her eyes glowed intensely. Beast Boy was too taken back to even evade the attack. The changeling fell to the ground with the wind knocked out of him now aware of how strong she was with the half-amulet in her possession. He grunted and climbed back to his feet noting the burns on his clothes. He scowled at Trigon who seemed to be pretty jolly for a Demon overlord.

" Well, making you both fight is a waste of time. Foolish humans... Allowing your emotions to interfere is one of your top weaknesses. Raven, put him somewhere where he won't be of inconvenience when we strike the city."

Without moving, Raven's telekinesis lifted the lad into the air and with a burst, flung him threw the air toward the jagged cliffs near the center of the island. Beast Boy could almost tell that hitting those cliffs wasn't going to be as painful as being betrayed by someone dear to you. He closed his eyes and crashed into the cliff. The changeling fell to the ground followed by chunks of rubble onto his back. He didn't feel like getting up, what was there to fight for now?

Trigon remained still with his fangs barged into a grin. No more waiting for the day he would reign, for that day had come at last. Tonight- Jump City. Tomorrow- The Earth. How sweet that sounded to his oversized pointed ears. The entire amulet would glorify him and make him a god among demons. All that was left was to take the amulet from Raven and reassemble the broken pieces. He shifted the direction he was facing and turned to his corrupted daughter. The second his clawed hand touched the chain, a sharp burst of energy zapped him and warded him off. How could he forget? The amulet could only be removed if the wearer removed it themself. He snarled viciously.

He was about to request for her to hand it over but the second it left her neck, she would recover from the spell and would realise what was going on. Even then he would be unable to take it from her. His plans always seemed to fail. Trigon then decided to let her wear it until they had control of the world, then he would slaughter her and take it himself. For now, their powers were near equal but whatever he commanded, she obeyed. Maybe it was better this way, he wouldn't have to do all the dirty work. The changeling boy didn't seen as inspired to stop him so he then commenced with his goal for world domination.

" Come Raven, let us go take over Jump City." He spoke

" Yes, master Trigon..." She murmured in her hypnotic state

They both lifted off the ground an entered the shimmering night sky. Trigon gleamed to know it would be overcast with clouds and darkness once he was ruler of the feeble planet. No more light and joy, just darkness and despair. That was his odd vision of a perfect world. The two vanished in the night sky leaving Beast Boy alone to himself.

He had managed to pull himself from the rubble and was lying on his back staring into the deepness of space. He wished he could just close his eyes and open them to see everything was the same way it was a week ago. He tried, only to open his eyes back to the emptiness of the night. It was starting to remind him of the way he was feeling. All this time Raven was a half-Demon and he was too dumb to catch the hints. Not that he cared what she was, he knew how it was to be different– To be green. Trigon would take over the world now. There was nothing he could do because he was too weak. He was nothing... And Trigon was nothing as well without the amulet. Not that he could get it from him. He saw what happened when the demon tried to take half from Raven. It would be a matter of time before he killed her and regained all his power. Trigon would probably be dead by now and they could just go back home and try to repair the damage that had been lacerated. No, the opposite occurred and kept the nightmare fuelled.

Trigon slaughtered his grandfather because he was too weak and pathetic and here he was beating himself up. He just assured himself that Trigon would be beating him up instead of himself if he tried to stop him. Raven's mind couldn't be entirely lost. Perhaps he could make her snap out of it by reminding her of who she really is. His grandfather always told him " There's always a way to resolve a problem so don't run from them". Beast Boy guessed Mr. Logan never had to face a super tall demon who happens to have your best friend under his control. Never less, his grandfather would try anyway. That's what the teen admired about him. He sat up and pushed himself into a standing position. This wasn't just about his well being anymore, it was for the Earth itself. Selfishness was a trait he despised and he didn't want to bare any trace of it. He looked to Jump city and could see the crimson flare of fire among the streets. The destruction had begun; He needed to move fast.

Beast Boy took a deep breath and morphed into an African swift tail. With such speed, Jump city wasn't very far to reach. Even if he failed he would know that he tried.

" Bow before me and have your lives spared!" Trigon boomed

No one heeded the towering brute's warning. They all just forgot everything and sent every ounce of energy they had to muster to their legs. There were already dead and bleeding mortals lying all around the area. The others were all screaming and struggling to get as far away as possible.

" Are you all fools? No matter where you run, I will still be around to find you!" he sneered " Now bow down!"

Everyone just kept scampering around and running over people- Dead or alive- to escape. Trigon found it amusing. Raven hadn't killed anyone yet for Trigon was too busy enjoying the blood and gore he was causing. It was like one of those video games where you had god mode enabled and you had infinite ammo. He felt truly superior to the mortals now, but still lingered on the fact that Raven possessed a slightly greater amount of power than him. Envy danced in his cold yellow eyes. He returned to the impotent beings running around like a mouse in a maze. They were his test subjects– The test being of his near limitless power.

" Okay, have it your way! Allow me to ease your minds through death..."

The streets filled with people and vehicles undertook fracturing and heating as Trigon's eyes shined with glee. Lava began to seep from the cracks and pour across the streets engulfing the innocent. Listening to their screams of death brought him great pleasure. Trigon could be considered as twisted as a double helix.

Raven was still absent minded. She could only watch emotionlessly as the person she hated the most killed off everyone below them. Even the sight of two children climbing on the roof of a slowly melting car did not move her. Trigon's taint had marked her mind, the debauchery that made her forget all she stood for and believed in. Even her hidden liking to Beast Boy was concealed by the control.

The lava settled and quickly dried into a hard gray substance. Steam rose up to where they hovered but still ceased to move them. Only the city lights illuminated their forms and allowed people to know what they were running from. Trigon motioned his daughter to follow while letting his ego swell to the fact everyone feared him and would soon obey him. As they hovered, a sign on wildlife fluttered across the scene and perched on a rooftop. Trigon snorted and flew toward the avian with Raven in pursuit. The bird stood still and didn't fly away like he expected it to. In fact, the bird looked a tad green...

It suddenly shifted into Beast Boy, whom had a brave look on his face.

" Trigon, I've come to stop you and break the spell you have on Raven. It isn't right to change a person's thoughts!"

" Ha! You think I'm going to listen to you? You're as weak as this building!" The demon corroborated by stomping his foot through the rooftop.

" I want to fight you, in a fair match. You take off the amulet and then we solve this! Winner takes all."

" Hm, you're as amusing as those blundering fools running around on the ground!" He mocked

" I have a much better idea... You get to fight, but you have to fight with Raven!"

" No, I came to fight you Trigon! You killed my grandfather and I want vengeance!"

" Surely you aren't afraid to harm your little wench?"

" You..." Beast Boy held his tongue

" Hmph! ... Raven, go down to the streets and fight this boy ridden with gangrene! And do try to go easy on the lad?"

" Yes, master Trigon." She uttered and floated down to the street

" Hear this, boy. If you win, you may as well take her with you. Failure is not tolerated among demons."

" I'll win, and then I'm coming after you!" Beast Boy informed sharply

The changeling morphed into a simple hawk and fluttered down to the street. It was the only one unscarred by corpses and debris. Raven was standing farther away from where he landed. He locked eyes with the source of her corruption– The amulet. He would be all talk and no action. That was plan A. Plan B was... Well, he didn't want to have to resort to plan B. Trigon was using his power to shift and mould the stone the building was made from into a throne. He slowly relaxed into it and ensured he had a good view of the battle to be.

" This should be interesting... Or very short." The demon bluntly stated

Beast Boy prepared to defend the attacks of Raven and somehow get close enough to talk to her. She however was awaiting for her father's signal to fight. His roar echoed down onto their remote battleground.

" Raven, fight this changeling boy and remember, he hates you because you're part demon!"

" Wha..?"

Beast Boy glared at Trigon just as Raven shot toward him and struck him in the face with her fist. Then very swiftly she spun around and slammed her elbow directly into his jaw. Beast Boy kept his feet on the ground as she pushed a black energy into his chest. He was knocked to the ground as it exploded. It all happened in about 4.68 seconds. Raven was acting noble by awaiting for him to get back up. That was a part of her that was not Trigon's doing. That would only tell him somewhere inside of her was the real Raven.

" Raven, come on, it's Beast Boy! You know, I always annoy you? Do you remember?" He aspired

" You are a mortal. You hate me because I am a demon!" She growled

She bent over and lifted him by his collar until he was slightly higher than her. She reared back her fist and plowed the teen in the face once again. She let him fall to the ground where she lifted a glowing red hand above her head. The aura forged a lively ball of cardinal energy of which she hastily launched down at Beast Boy. He yelled out and clutched the damaged area of his shoulder. He removed his hand to see blood stained among the lines of his palm.

" Remember on the rooftop? Those nights we got to talk? ...The nights I started to fall in love with you?"

" Mortals should die off like the animals they've butchered."

She levitated him off the ground and moved her hand to point toward a wall. Beast Boy slammed into the building but failed to go through it. He rolled onto the sidewalk and grunted to force himself onto his feet. His grandpa was right, love hurts.

" Trigon put you through hell as a child, don't you remember that? He made you suffer for things you didn't do! He hates you! Don't you remember crying yourself to sleep as a child because no one was there to help you?" He shouted

" ... I..." She flinched

" Raven, keep fighting, Mortals are liars!" Trigon thundered

" Your lies don't fool me. Master Trigon knows all."

He was close. He knew he could pull it off if he kept trying. The question was how long could he go on before he faltered? Knowing if he managed to bring her back to her normal state of mind, he fought on to free her from the spell.

" Raven... All the fun times back at the manor... Remember when I put shaving cream on Gramps's ice cream? Or when gramps flushed my fish Goldie? You twisted the pipes and got him back. Gramps didn't have a clue! He was fixing those pipes for hours!"

" You...You're... Lying? No, Mortals are liars!"

Raven took him by the throat and crashed him through the wall. She ceased to let him go and then turned around slightly to toss him into the middle of the street. He skidded a short distance and stood back up. He was starting to wear down exponentially. She shot another red attack at him making him stumble back and clench his teeth. He stayed on his feet and tightened his fists to ignore the burning feeling. He could almost feel Trigon smiling to see his pain. He straightened himself up and faced Raven boldly. He had to choose his words carefully and use his head for once.

" Raven, Trigon is the liar. He took you away from your mother without telling you what torture he would put you through. He raised you into thinking he was better and you had to listen to him. He's afraid of you Raven! You only want to see him out of your life! Look at all the people he's killed! Look at the way he gets humoured at us fighting! I'm your friend, he is your father– Your worse enemy! He'll kill you any chance he gets!"

" Master Trigon? ... Mortals are liars, but... Demons are evil."

" That's what he thinks! He thinks you should die because you're a hybrid freak! I am your father, Raven! Don't let him lie to you! Mortals are selfish! He doesn't give a damn what fate befalls you!"

" That's not true! Raven, I don't think you're some kind of freak because you're half-demon!"

" ...Lies! All lies! Die you worthless mortal!" She clamoured

She created a colossal red wall of lively demon energy of which separated her from Beast Boy. She moved her hands making the wall enclose around Beast Boy like a barrier. He stared at her in bewilderment as she backed away from the swelling dome. With that, it imploded to the cry of Beast Boy's pain. The dust clouds settled as the red sparks faded revealing the green teen lying on the ground. At first glance, he appeared dead. But Beast Boy's determination kept him going. He groaned and regained a standing position and maybe for the last time, try and get through to Raven. She began to walk over to him with a menacing glare.

" I'm not lying! Trigon is! I would fight back if I weren't!" He tried to reason with her

" Don't waste your last breath. This time, you will not survive." Raven spoke bitterly

" I don't think you're a freak! Look at me, I'm green! You have an excuse for being different. I don't care what you are, you're still the same ol' Raven to me."

" You don't care... Now prepare for you're death." She put her hands on his shoulders, near his neck

" Raven, I do care. If I didn't care, would I do this?"

He suddenly wrapped his arms around her waist and puller her close to his face. For a second, he just stared into her eyes before softly pressing his lips against hers. Both her and Trigon were surprised. She shortly started to kiss him back as Trigon's corruption left her mind.

Trigon however, almost had steam coming from his ears. Seeing a mortal kiss his daughter really ticked him off. Not just because it disgraced his demon race, but because it was sure to remove his spell. He watched them end the kiss and just stay in each other's arms as he got out of his seat in fury.

" You... Don't think I'm a freak because I'm half demon?" Raven inquired quietly

" Of course not!" He said, starting to flush in the cheeks

" You damn Mortal! Get away from her! Do you know what you've done! YOU JUST SIGNED YOUR DEATH CERTIFICATE!"

Trigon leapt from the top of the building and landed on the ground crumbling the pavement near him feet. He arched back to his brooding posture and sneered in disgust at them both. His yellow eyes narrowed as he tightened his fists. Raven and Beast Boy faced him bravely and had little fear of him. Trigon started to emit a steaming red ambience and raised a fist to the two teenagers.

" It ends here and now."

Ahhhh, the love, it burnnnsss... I'll get used to writing this genre eventually. So R&R and inspire me to write more things that make me squirm in my seat. And BTW, if there are instances where the words go like this... the endAfter long... Well, there are suppose to be dashes there but when it upload it decides to remove itself. Spelling errors and weirdness are entirely my doing.
