1Chapter 4: Curing The Soul
Beast Boy couldn't believe what had just happened.
He was so, depressed right now that all he could even think of doing was staring. Staring at the empty body of his most deepest friend. Beast Boy hadn't told anyone this but, he loved Raven. Loved her since the day he laid his eyes on her for the first time ever. And now she was gone.
The worst thing was that he never even got a chance to tell her the way he really felt about her. And now it was just too late.
He bent down on his knees, and rested his head on top of Raven.
Robin was standing there looking the other way trying not to cry, and Starfire was crying on Robin's chest with his hand around her.
"Come on BB, it wasn't your fault." Said Cyborg. "YES IT WAS!" Shouted Beast Boy at Cyborg. "I should've been there to protect her but, I was just fooling around with that movie. And now because, of me Raven's dead."
Then he turned around, and asked Cyborg, "You gotta have something to bring her back don't you?" "Well, I do have something but, I don't think..." Beast Boy stopped him in the middle of what he was saying. "What do you have?" "But, BB I just finished making it. I haven't even tried it out yet." "I don't care just tell me what it is." Said Beast Boy.
"Okay... all you have to do is get into this machine, and go inside Raven. But, don't stay in there too long, the shrink ray only works for about half an hour then you'll start growing again." Said Cyborg.
"How am I supposed to navigate this thing?" Asked Beast Boy.
"Simple I'll just connect this navigator to the ship, and I'll be able to navigate you through your mission." Said Cyborg.
"Know listen closely." Said Cyborg. "What you have to do is go to her brain, and try to free her soul. Oooookkkkaaaaayyyyyy?" "Sure lets do this!" Said Beast Boy.
So, they shrank him down, and injected him into Raven's arm, and that's when his journey began.
"Okay, I'm inside now where do I go?" Asked Beast Boy. "Keep going up until you come to a wall." Answered Cyborg.
"I think I'm here but, how am I supposed to get threw?" Said Beast Boy. "You'll have to swim through it." Said Cyborg. "What! Are you crazy, I'll never make it." "Yes you will." Then Cyborg pushed a button, and the ship moved forward.
"I actually made it." Said Beast Boy. "Yeah, just keep going forward. Then Beast Boy was going through a really dark hole with strange things around him.
"Can you believe there's a tornado in here?" Asked Beast Boy. "Well, of course Raven's heart is a tornado!"
"Don't worry just push that leaver forward!" Screamed Cyborg. Then suddenly the ship swam threw to the other side, and got away.
"Whew." Sighed Beast Boy. "That was a close one...a little to close if you ask me."
"Alright now you're entering the brain, BB just keep going forward." Said Cyborg.
"Alright you're in." Said Cyborg. "Now look around to see if you can find Raven's soul."
Then while Beast Boy was looking around he saw something really strange. It looked like Raven but, she had a whole bunch of shadows around her.
It looked like she was stuck.
Beast Boy made the ship approach to get a better view. It was Raven, or at least her soul.
"Raven!" Shouted Beast Boy. "Raven are you okay!"
There was no answer at all so, Beast Boy decided to go investigating for himself. He opened the ship's window, and started to leave the ship.
"BEAST BOY NO!" Shouted Cyborg. "IT'S JUST NOT SAFE!"
"I don't care." Answered Beast Boy. "Sometimes you gotta take some risks in life if you wanna get what you want."
And with that he left the ship, and started trying to brake the shadow vines open to free Raven.
"Raven!" He shouted. "you gotta brake through Raven, you gotta remember!"
"It's me Beast Boy, please you gotta remember, and calm down." He told her. "You're not alone, you think you are but, you're not. I was always there for you, and I still am...Raven... I love you."
And when Raven heard those words come out of his mouth she suddenly regained strength, and started to brake through the vines.
Then the vines exploded into tiny pieces, and Raven was finally free.
"Beast Boy you saved me." Said Raven's soul. "Beast Boy, calling Beast Boy." Cyborg was calling him from his speaker. "Yeah?" Answered Beast Boy. "Hurry up, and get out. The shrinking ray is almost out." Said Cyborg.
"Will I ever be able to see you again?" Beast Boy asked Raven's soul. Raven's soul put her hand on Beast Boy's heart, and said, "As long as I'm in your heart I will always be with you. Now you must go." And she pushed him into the ship.
He flew out as fast as he could, and as soon as he reached the outside the shrink ray wore of completely, and he crash landed on the ground.
"Oh Man!" Said Cyborg. "And I didn't even get to try it." "Raven! Is she okay!" Said Beast Boy.
"She is fine but, nothing has changed." Said Starfire.
Beast Boy ran towards Raven, and held her hand. "Raven I'm here. Please wake up." But, there was no response.
Suddenly she moved her head a little. "Ugh."
"Raven?" Whispered Beast Boy. "Raven!"
Could it be that she still had a little bit of life still in her?
