This is the new and improved edited version. So no one will yell at me this time.
Sorry I'm a loser and a failure sometimes. Failure. Like the beginning of this chappter ahahaha HAHAHA. I'm in a great mood. Not.
--
Failure crept through the hallways of the Tower, a stench following it. The stench that could never be inhaled by the average human, a stench that could be found by those it affected. Raven Roth sat in her room surrounded in the intoxication of defeat and depression.
Time… She thought to herself, To visit Nevermore.
Hahaha oh Raven you make me laugh. You think you could use a mirror to access Nevermore? Not while I'm watching you! Raven's demonic reflection grinned at her. Her eyes and posture made her look seductive, as if trying to seduce Raven to her demon side.
"You."
Who else?
"GET OUT! LET ME IN MY MIND!"
You sound so pathetic right now.
In a cry of frustration Raven flung the mirror across the room. Nothing exploded, no sound came except the encore of silence. Though silence was what Raven was used to. The dark girl sighed heavily and curled up on her bed.
"Arrgh why me?" Raven asked to the room around her. "It isn't fair! What did I do? What have I done to deserve this…" She collapsed on her side, her purple hair spreading out under her in one graceful movement. "Nothing is right anymore. Dancing… he wanted me to go dancing."
"Raven?" Robin's voice crept through her door, sliding into her ears and was processed by her angry mind.
The teen bit back her tongue, she didn't want to scream something she would regret. "Go away Robin. I'm not going "clubbing" or whatever you wish to call it. I'm going to… meditate." Raven knew perfectly well she couldn't meditate even if she tried. All she would get would be another glimpse into the future she was going to create. Her unfair destiny. The brutal truth that had constantly surrounded her was finally closing in, it had waited all of these years to suffocate her. Now Raven was dying from the inside from depression, angst, and hatred. The last thing she needed was truth.
"Fine. But I wasn't going to ask you that… I just thought you should see something." A slip of paper glided under Raven's door. Using her aurora Raven picked up the paper and summoned it to her.
Sorry.
The word was scratched into the paper with a dying pen. Raven looked at it. Nothing more. Just… sorry. Typical Robin. One word apologies.
Raven wanted to realease something, anger, hatred, or sorrow at that moment. Just something to feel to show… to show that she was human. At least partially. Even if Robin couldn't see that.
Raven's head snapped upward. She wanted to kill him. She was going to kill Samael. That was it. He had to die. She was going to track him down and make him sorry. She had to.. do something.
A temporary loss of sanity. A loss of common sense. The lapse that made her lose everything. Something was wrong with Raven. Her powers were going to break soon, she would lose control. Raven could feel it.
The alarm rang out through the tower.
"TITANS GO!" Robin said, just as Raven arrived in the living room.
"Robin," Raven said, "It's just you and me. You don't have to say that."
"Right sorry." The Boy Wonder apologized yet again that day, something he wasn't used to.
"That would be the second time you've said 'Titans go' and it was just us."
"How did you know it was just us?"
"I can feel things." Raven said, though Robin didn't pick up on her insult. She could feel, not only other creatures presence, but she could feel every insult, every time she was ignored. And it hurt.
Xxxxx
Communicators rang, though no one heard them through the haze of the club. The other two Titans were dancing the night away, trying to pick up a girl, ignorant of the fact Samael was back to taunt them.
Xxxxx
"Back again?" Robin asked Sameal, who stood triumphantly on top of a truck.
"Oh yes Robin. Where are you're friends?"
"Gone dancing. They have… lives other than you." Robin said. The others were coming, surely they would…
"Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos!" Raven cried out before Samael could do anything. The truck he was standing on flipped out from under him, catching the Erratic by surprise.
"Unfair Raven!" A Cyclopes stood before them, Samael had changed. He now was able to land his large firsts by Robin, his strength doubling the boy wonder's. Robin dodged each punch easily.
"Is that all you have?" Robin asked, punching Samael square in the jaw, again and again.
"NO!" Samael roared, as he changed into a troll.
"Gross." Was all Raven said. "Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos!" She lifted a car and threw it at Samael. "You are so.. stupid."
"Am I raven?" A higher demon hovered above the two titans, grinning. Wind was surrounding the teens, forcing them into the air and throwing them backwards.
"Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos!"
"AAAAAAAH!"
The two battle cries broke out through the air, matched with explosions as Robin threw bombs, ice bombs, and Raven threw cars rubble, and… a dumpster.
Samael had made the poor choice of becoming a human again, thinking he had won.
"Don't even think about running away." Raven said, as she used her powers and dragged Samael over to her and Robin. "You leave us alone, got it? Go tell Slade we will win."
"He may have the powers, but we have strength and an amazing team." Robin joined in.
"Pathetic." The two teens spat.
Robin started to punch Samael, right as Raven let go. They had the advantage now.
"ENOUGH!" Samael screamed. He dissapeared before the two birds could say another word, or get in another punch.
"He ran away." Raven said.
"He works for Slade." Robin stated. "I just know it…"
"What more is there to expect really…" She looked at Robin.
"Nothing much. The coward. Come one, let's go back to the tower.
Xxxxx
"Today sister, it is war. You have been trained, you learn rather… quickly." Blackfire said to Starfire, having trouble giving her sister a compliment.
"Thank you sister!" Starfire exclaimed, giving Blackfire a bone crushing hug.
"Don't uuuggh get OFF ME!" Blackfire said. "NOW!" She turned to the rest of Tamaran. "Today we get red of these demons! We rid our planet of Scath! We become FREE! WE ARE TAMARAN!"
It felt odd to Starfire, there was no evil plan in this. Blackfire actually wanted to help the planet.
Everything was a blur for Starfire. She cried out, screaming and not letting tears fall. She threw starbolts with all of her might, demolishing demons, watching everything around her fight or fall. She couldn't say she enjoyed it, but it was war. At this point in time, it seemed necessary.
"AYAH!" Blackfire's scream broke out through Tamaran, echoing around everyone.
The Tamaranians charged, screaming, spilling their own blood and ridding themselves of the demons that attacked them.
Blackfire was raging, tearing at everything in front of her. Purple starbolts flew from her hands, heated with anger and destroying anything in her path.
Starfire, though weaker, was trying her hardest. Using tactics she picked up from Robin, she was winning, she was winning…
Wave after wave of the monsters flew in, fighting the Tamaranians with ease.
Force against force, even the strength of Tamaran couldn't hold back these demonic creatures. Slowly, Tamaran fell. Blackfire and Starfire watched in horror as their planet fell, some dying, some exausted, and some giving up.
(Authors note: I'M SO SORRY TO INTERUPT YOU HERE. But this is where I got back from vacation and could start writing again. I swear you don't get a moment of privacy with family around, don't get me wrong I love my family BUT… well anywho. I'm just apologizing and I'm hoping this is a good chapter. I also thought I'd add in I have TWO other stories going on right now, one which my friend is editing and I hope to have the courage to show my family one day. Could you imagine silly me being a published author? Another story I might show my family … I don't know. Anywho, I'm sure your curious about Tourniquet. Emph. I'm sorry. I really am, I think things may not add up, I have to read back through my whole story… ACK it's July 13th right now, and for me school starts on July 25th, (I go to something called a modified year round school, not that you really care, but I still have summer vacation, and I get breaks year round.) So, again, I'm sorry. I really am. I hope you can still enjoy this though.) That apology still stands. I never said I wouldn't finish. Sorry just had to stand up for myself it's just I don't know what it is BUT SORRY and go back to reading now…
Most of the remaining Titans were sitting in their own rooms, Raven trying to meditate and fight her father out of her mind, Robin and Cyborg working on any mechanism that would shoot holy water, and Beast Boy getting in touch with himself, racking his brain for helpful animals. (Yes, Beast Boy was working, only for Starfire...)
"Cy?" Robin said, shattering the silence that coated the stiff air around them.
"Yeah Rob?"
"I'm out of ideas."
"YOU! The Boy Wonder out of ideas!"
"Yes Cyborg, I'm out of ideas!"
"Whoa. I never thought today would happen… I mean… IT'S CRAZY!"
"Cyborg?"
"Yeah Rob?"
"Shut up."
…
Beast Boy sat in his room actually thinking. Oh man this is so hard! How should I know what animals could defeat these ghost thingys or whatever they are! Ugh! I give up I'm going to go eat TOFU!
Beast Boy glanced at the clock, 8:00 PM glanced back at him. "DINNER TIME!"
Slowly the Titans gathered in the kitchen where the evening debate of food began.
…
"Our planet has fallen sister!" Starfire cried out, tears forming in the aliens eyes.
"I noticed." Blackfire snarled, in no mood to talk to her naïve sister.
"What ever shall we do!"
"WE will do what is RIGHT. We are going to your… planet."
"Wh- you wish to… help me sister?"
Blackfire glared at Starfire. "No. I wish for revenge."
"Oh I see… Come we shall prepare!" Starfire said, perking up.
What the naïve girl didn't understand, as far as the Titans were concerned, Blackfire wasn't exactly an ally. Tomorrow, when Starfire showed up with Blackfire and some of Tamaran's remaining strong warriors, the Titans would be very surprised.

So this , the story, picks up in the next chapter during the MORNING. Okay? Okay. Kbye.
OH wait, I hope this is better. I'm sorry, I really am. I don't have an excuse. So here are the reviews, as posted in the next chapter:
Xlife: Thanks… I didn't think it was that great, but you are just too kind.
Heh… I guess you saw this happened.
I'd love for Starfire not to return but sadly… The Titans ne… ne… oh man I can't even say it. ARGH.
HAHA! So someone does think like me! Blackfire IS going to be helpful.
Haha I love throwig stuff in like that.
I'll try and throw something in.
Hehehe your question mark amuses me for some reason.
HORAAH! I'm shocked now one hates me though…
Heh… It should be better.
You've helped me a lot, and thank you.
Angel Vanilla: I am curious, what would happen if I didn't sayp lease? And I DOUBT anything you say sucks.
I think that's how you spell it… I have no idea. Aaaaahhh I should have tied that in… - angry –
ALJELJA. WHY DIDN'T I DO A FUNERAL? Heh heh heh heh actually…
Haha there is no WAY the Titans could beat Trigon on their own. I mean maybe Raven but the others would just get in her way.
Hah I just threw that one in, no worries.
Well… okay.
That's a good idea…. Actually that's a very good idea but it might seem unrealistic if I did that… Grumbles…
Okay… I'm glad you odn't hate me.
Really? I have good grammar? Thank you!
I will try my hardest to update soon… but as I've said some things have come up… That really call out for attention ( not writing, family things ) but I'll try because this is such a good realease. Thank you for the long review!
Sillymail: Oh that I will try to do.
Zoicytes-Shadow: Haha thank you. Hahaha you are too kind. WAIT BEFORE YOU E-MAIL ME I HAVE AN ALTERNATE E-MAIL FOR WHEN MY MOTHER STEALS THE COMPY: F4SHIONstatement hotmail . com (without the spaces. It is… well nevermind what it's from.
AngeloftheSecondHell: But you should hate me. And this has lately been sucking. A lot. But thank you for not hating me. You make a really good point about grammer, I'm glad that my Fic doesn't do that. If I met someone that did that to a book, stripped it bare and critized it's grammer, I would have to slap the person. But luckily no one does that in front of me at least Okay, thank you for the advice. I MEAN THAT TOO . AEEEE I know, I can't have Raven do fluff, because, right now, she could end up killing herself too, her mind is so unstable and she cannot meditate correctly. So no, there will be no fluff. Maybe I will imply something, but I don't know. I just don't know if it will fit in, I doubt it does. Haha okay I can get some ideas pretty sure. Haha I'm glad you hold your tongue because I would be unoriginal because you have such good ideas. I fyou catch my drift. Thank you, I'm glad it worked out! OH Blackfire is MUCH fun, I love writing with her in the story.
Trenin: New Penname. Nice. OF COURSE I WONT' DROP THE CAPS LIKE.
Heheheh I should just alaugh. Of coursre Blackfire helps, she SMART.
Yeah.
Probably?
Well yeah, if he wasn't the ratings would go down a little.
I figured.
You answers are very… hehehe ABSTRACT.
Hmmm…
My mood? Oh that'll be great. Of course everyting will work out depending on my mood. Oh man. I have to fix that. Hmmph. No apparantly not. Heh, no it's fine, and Over the Hills and Far Away is one of my favorite Nightwish songs, so I wouldn't get it confused with anything. Yeah… but no… not this time, when she is desperate to save her planet.
They Call Me Sweetsnow: I'm glad you don't hate me! And I'm thrilled you don't hate my grammar. Haha I'm glad you aren't confused. Thank you! I'll try and get my next one out soon!
