Well, hello there! I'm back with the next chapter. I suppose I've got enough reviews, so here's the next chapter!

DISCLAIMER: Nothing is mine.

Chapter 4: Urge to Sacrifice Self.

Another day passing in Titans Tower, and activity was relatively low, though considering the trend, soon another battle will happen. Robin and Cyborg were playing a video game, Starfire was cheering them on, Raven sat at the table reading a book, and BeastBoy was leaning against the counter, idlely chewing on a tofu burger, lost in thought once again. The Titans were starting to miss the old BeastBoy, always cracking jokes, ready to play games at any time, and just all-around happy guy. BeastBoy never noticed this feeling, though. Turning his head while lost in his thoughts, he noticed something that intrigued him.

Robin and Cyborg were playing Dragonball Z: Budokai 3, with Robin as Vegeta, and Cyborg was Cell. Vegeta, his normally spiky black hair a bright gold, and his face sporting a distorted M on it, had just knocked Cell into the air, then knocked him down to the ground, landing hunched over soon after, then slowly standing up. Suddenly with a surge of energy he yelled something.

"I'm going to blow you to bits!" he yelled, and two bars were at the bottom of the screen, which were to be filled up to see whether it was the attack, or defense, that won. Robin failed to fill his farther than Cyborg, and that was the end of the battle. Vegeta screamed, "Bite me! WHOOOOOOAAAAAAA!" After the "bite me" line, the yell was from Vegeta blowing himself up in an attempt to destroy Cell, but because the defense won, Vegeta was the one to die.

"That was a nice little warm-up." came Cell's victory quote. BeastBoy stared. He had just seen someone sacrifice themself. He knew that was wrong, but why was it so intriguing to him? BeastBoy couldn't figure this out, but his thoughts were lost as Raven came over. She looked at him, and asked him something.

"Something wrong, BeastBoy? The yelling made me look up at the screen, and I saw you staring at all that. That look is really starting to scare me." she said.

"What look?" he asked, genuinely confused.

"BeastBoy, you had a hungry look in your eyes while you watched him blow up. It's just kind of freaky, that's all." she said.

"Oh. I...just like the game, that's all. Its got really cool moves." he said convincingly. The truth was that even he didn't know why it attracted him so much. His thoughts were cut short by the alarm going off, Robin's typical call for everyone to go, and he followed, leaving his feelings behind.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This time it was Overload causing havoc in the city. The Titans arrived while he was blasting an electronics store, and the battle began. BeastBoy, for some reason, felt reckless. He wanted to be powerful, much like Vegeta from the game, so he charged into battle without thinking his moves through. His first try was to attack him as a gorilla, but there was a lack of discretion in that, and he was blasted into a wall, knocking Cyborg sideways as well. Next, he tried charging him as a rhino, but Overload saw him and side-stepped, causing him to run past, and nearly knock over Starfire while she was on the ground. His last mistake was a charge down as a T-Rex, when he whipped his tail at Overload from behind. This succeeded, but he knocked Robin aside as well. As Overload was loaded into the jail car later, Robin stood in front of BeastBoy.

"Can I have a word with you when we get back to the tower?" he asked, but BeastBoy knew it was a command, not a question. Feeling nervous, BeastBoy followed him back to the Tower.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Raven sat worriedly in the common room. The "talk" that Robin wanted to have with BeastBoy was actually more of an excuse for Robin to scream endlessly at him. Raven and the others could hear it even though they were a floor above, but, to her indignation, Raven appeared to be the only one who really cared. Cyborg and Starfire must have selfishly only cared about the accidents that involved BeastBoy and them. After what seemed like half an hour, Robin came into the common room, red-faced and sweating. Starfire went to alleviate him of some of his feelings, although Raven felt he wasn't the one who deserved any alleviating. If anything, he was the one who deserved to be yelled endlessly at. Raven had her opinion that Robin only wanted to yell at BeastBoy because of the accidental trip, which must have hurt Robin's pride slightly, causing him to go berserk on BeastBoy. Raven did not like this, but didn't say anything, because she noticed that BeastBoy hadn't come into the common room, and this worried Raven. So, she headed out to see if he was in his room.

She walked into the corridor that had BeastBoy's room, and saw him in the hall. He had his head down, apparently thinking about something. When Raven came up to him, he turned around and tried to hide something, but Raven had already noticed. He had his hand in the form of a panther claw. Raven felt that nothing good could become of this, judging by the way he hid his other arm.

"BeastBoy, show me your other arm." she commanded. When BeastBoy shook his head, she repeated herself, with a bit more force. Sighing deeply, he showed her his arm, which was covered in small, but very fresh, cuts, mostly located near the wrist. Raven felt sick.

"What are you doing?" she said in a horrified whisper. BeastBoy slowly pulled his hand back.

"Robin put it all into perspective. It's become pretty clear that the team would be better off without me. The way Robin was screaming, it was pretty obvious. I just thought this would be a way to end it pretty easily." he said sadly. Raven looked at his emerald eyes, so full of sadness. She felt her heart almost ripping at these words, but anger towards Robin was the glue that held it together.

"Don't listen to Robin. He's a real obnoxious jerk." she said angrily, and a lightbulb could be heard shattering somewhere. "The team wouldn't be the same without you, and it wouldn't be in a good way." she said compassionately. BeastBoy stared into those beautiful amethyst eyes, full of concern, and sighed.

"All right. I won't do it. I might be receiving some help or something..." he muttered. "Just promise me you won't tell anyone about this, okay? Please, Rae?" he pleaded, and Raven just couldn't say no. So she agreed, and healed the many cuts on his arm. "It's getting late. I guess I'll head to bed. Good night, Rae." he yawned, and went into his room, still full of doubt.

As he fell asleep, he was only dimly aware of the impending visit...

BeastBoy's Dream...

"BeastBoy!" came a voice, that BeastBoy recognized as Goku.

"Yeah, Goku?" he asked.

"I know you can beat all this!" he said confidently.

"As do I." came the calm voice of Bruce Banner.

"Thanks, guys." he said. They said good-bye, and BeastBoy waited, until he heard a sweet voice behind him.

"We're here to help." said the voice, and BeastBoy turned around, and saw two girls, both apparently in their high teenage years. One had long blond hair, that flowed down her back to her waist, and she had pure eyes, which were so full of concern now. She wore pretty white clothes. The other was taller, and had long brown hair, and sweet eyes. She wore pink, and had a kind of staff with her.

"So...what are your names?" BeastBoy asked.

"My name is Colette. Colette Brunel." the blond said kindly.

"And I'm Aeris. Aeris Gainsborough." said the other.

"We just want to help, so will you please hear us out?" asked Colette. BeastBoy looked at her. She was so sweet, so innocent.

"Of course. Everyone who's helped me, I've listened to. I'll listen." he said.

"Well, that's good." said Aeris. "Well, you've been visited before, so you know the deal, right? We help you through your negative feelings. This time, you're feeling the urge to sacrifice yourself. Let us tell you, nothing is worse than an urge to end your life, because you think it'll help some people."

"That's right." said Colette. "When I traveled with my group, I originally thought that sacrificing myself would be the only way to help people of my world. As it turns out, with the help of my friends, we saved my world and another world by reuniting them after so long. It wouldn't have happened if I had indeed sacrificed myself like I originally thought. I still have something that reminds me of those days." she said. She closed her eyes, her hands together in prayer, and with a flash of light, she grew ten pink wings from her back. BeastBoy gasped.

"You're just like Zelos!" he exclaimed. Colette looked surprised.

"You met Zelos?" she asked. "I'm so glad he's okay! I must see him sometime!" she said.

"Yeah, you've missed him, haven't you?" asked Aeris. "Anyway, something similar happened to me. My life was forcefully taken by a villain, and my friends eventually went on to defeat him and save the world, but everything's not so sunny in my story. My friends may have saved the world, but I left them with enough sadness to fill past the world's limits. I even lost the one I loved that day."

"Please, BeastBoy! Don't throw your life away! There is someone who would be sad enough for everybody back where you are." said Colette.

"That's what Zelos said. I suppose you guys can't tell me either?" he asked. They giggled lightly.

"No, we can't." said Aeris.

"But I'm sure you'll find out soon. She's very close to you, that's all we are allowed to say. So...will you reconsider taking your life?" Colette asked.

"You've definitely convinced me. All you guys are so good at this!" BeastBoy said.

"It's so people won't have such sad happenings as ours." said Aeris.

"Well, good-bye!" said Colette, and BeastBoy was enveloped in a familiar light once again, and awakened in his room, and he immediately looked for what they had left for him. He found them pretty soon.

Against his dresser lay a kind of staff, one he recognized. And on top of Zelos' angel feather, was a pink angel feather. BeastBoy smiled and left the room. He'd never think of ending his life, ever again.

AUTHOR'S NOTE

Well, another chapter of negative feelings, and those feelings disappearing with the help of a person from another dimension. Pretty good, right? Sorry if I made Robin seem like a jerk, but I don't really have high feelings for him, especially since "The Beast Within."

Anyway, there's a question I want to ask you guys: Besides the Feelings for the next chapter, would you guys like a chapter where BeastBoy goes on a date with Raven, once he figures out she the one that likes him, and they get attacked by a villain, and BeastBoy, with some mental assistance from his buds, controls the Beast Within?

Yes or No?

And don't forget the feelings for the next chapter!

Feelings of Weakness

Feelings of Uselessness

(Insert Your Idea Here!)

That last one's for anyone who wants to come up with an idea. I'll give them credit right in the chapter when I use their idea.

Anyway, please R&R, answer those questions, please, and I'll see ya next chapter! Later!
