I hope you guys are ready, because this is most likely the final chapter! I'm both happy I've finished a story, but it makes me sad as well...I hope you guys enjoy it. Because the final chapter is so important, I'll answer all reviews.

WickedWitchoftheSE: Yup. Date time.

lol61188: I'm glad you're enthusiastic about it.

Vash: Thanks

killtheraven: This story was clearly marked as a BB and Raven story. If you do not like that character, there was no point in clicking on it and reviewing it like that, as your words mean nothing. And if you are going to insult people who are fans of Raven, at least spell right. I'm sure you meant "eternal", not "internal."

Satu Simpson: Thanks. I had Krillin reserved for Weakness since I started this story, and just waited for you guys to vote for it. I thought he would work well. I'm glad you enjoy this.

BrianDarksoul: Thanks for the happy response. And I won't judge you by the couple. I think Krillin and 18 go well together.

Hell Boy right hand of doom: Thanks for the support, but this should be the final chapter.

DISCLAIMER: I don't own anything that's in this story. I made up the villain, though. I think.

Chapter 8: Finally Gained Control.

BeastBoy was tense for the entire day, since the morning. After talking with Raven about it, today was the day he was scheduled to go out with Raven, and the prospect of going on an actual date with the girl he had liked for so long was making him nervous. Sure, he had made preparations almost a millisecond after having Raven confirm the time of the date, but he still felt uneasy. He had made reservations at a very nice restaurant, picked out a nice movie for them, and even bought himself some cleaner clothes, as well as controlling his hair to not stick up, at least until after the date.

The day passed by relatively easy, with on villain activity for the Titans to be called to, so BeastBoy was stuck inside the whole day, unable to sit still for more than 5 minutes at a time. If he tried to stay still for that long, he felt like he would explode.

Raven, on the other hand, didn't make it readily visible that she was nervous, as well. She had needed to make less preparation than BeastBoy had, because she had her own dress for formal occasions, as well as items to make her appearance better. She merely lived the day like it was another, though as time ticked closer to the date, she became more and more nervous, finally leaving abruptly at around an hour until the date.

The other Titans themselves didn't know about this, though. Raven and BeastBoy felt uneasy about telling them about it, so they planned around the other Titans' schedules. As it turned out, on this night, Robin and Starfire would go out, and Cyborg would go meet BumbleBee as well. This was the perfect, and possibly only, chance for Raven and BeastBoy, so this was when they planned it. The other Titans were oblivious, and as they left for their own dates, they didn't know two other Titans were preparing to do so as well...

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

BeastBoy examined himself in his mirror, buttoning up his new, dark blue shirt, which was cleanly pressed, as it should be, for it was brand new. His pants were just as new, and were a nice dark blue as well, though almost black, color. His hair was combed down, and he thought he didn't look too bad, for his first formal date.

'I hope Raven doesn't think I look awful...' he thought, worrying how formal she must have dressed.

"Well, no since stalling." he said. Before he left his room, though, he looked at where he put the items received from his many guardians. Looking up, he said, "This is who you guys meant, right? Well, look over for me, would ya? I'm nearly shaking from nerves here!" he said, and walked out the door, heading towards Raven's room, and knocked on the door.

"Just a minute, BeastBoy." came the reply. BeastBoy stood in front of the door, almost sweating in anticipation, and the doors slid open to reveal Raven. BeastBoy stared at the beauty before him. Raven was wearing a beautiful violet dress, ending around the middle of the lower parts of her leg. Her body nearly shined in the light of the hall. BeastBoy took in a deep breath, and the scent of lavender drifted to him. He always adored that smell.

"Well...shall we go?" asked Raven in an uncharacteristicly shy voice, blushing slightly. BeastBoy simply nodded, and she took his arm, and they left.

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

The date passed by pretty simply, and it was a lot easier than BeastBoy had expected. The movie went without a hitch, although Raven told him that such a mushy romance wasn't her style. BeastBoy admitted it was a little too much mush in there for him, too. The laughed at this, and BeastBoy felt like he was in heaven. He was on a date with Raven, and it was going by perfectly, in his opinion.

Then it came time for dinner at the restaurant. BeastBoy had ordered them a table outside in the cool air. Raven asked why he did this, and he said it made him feel a little less constrained and out of place, rather than eating inside with the rich people of the city. BeastBoy could only get them here by calling in a favor, after all.

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

The dinner was nearly over, and BeastBoy and Raven were getting ready to leave, when BeastBoy had a strange sense that something was wrong. He stopped while they walked down the street, and Raven stopped, too.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"I don't know, Raven. I just feel like...there's something bad about to happen..." he muttered.

"How perceptive!" screamed a voice from the shadows, and a bright purple beam of energy streaked towards them, and they narrowly dodged it, and looked around for the culprit, who revealed himself from the shadows. The person stood in a giant mechanical robot body, looking through a glass portion where the head would be. He was a tall, slightly muscular teen, with features that looked vaguely familiar, and his face was twisted in mad enjoyment.

"Who the heck are you?" yelled BeastBoy, angry that his date had been interrupted.

"The name's Techno, loser! And it's payback time!" the teen screamed maniacally.

"Payback? What are you talking about?" asked Raven, standing next to BeastBoy.

"Just like you bastards to forget! My little bro is in the hospital because of you! Think back!" Techno yelled back.

"In the hospital?" asked BeastBoy, confused, and thought. Then it hit him. It was the same day as Goku and Bruce visited him. "You don't mean...are you Gizmo's...?" he began to question.

"Damn straight I am! I really cared for him, and you slashed him right into an emergency room! He's still unconscious to this day! And now, you're gonna pay!" he yelled, and began his onslaught on them, making his robot swing it's gigantic fists at them, while they took to the air to evade. He was ready, as the shoulders of the robot pulled back to reveal a missile launcher, which fired them all over the place, striking their mark on both Raven and BeastBoy, who fell to the ground next to each other. They lay in pain from the explosions, as the robot's shadow descended on them.

"HAHAHAHA! Finally, revenge!" Techno yelled, and his robot thrust its fist straight toward them, at full force.

"Someone, help!" yelled BeastBoy, knowing how that sounded, being a hero yelling for help, but it was a natural reaction, and he closed his eyes, and waited for the intense pain of metal against skin.

It never came. Opening his eyes, BeastBoy saw a sight he'll never forget. All his guardians, from Zelos to Krillin and Lloyd, were around him, Zelos holding back the fist on his own, and Homer, Fry, and Luigi standing in front of them, shielding them. The others, like Goku, Vegeta, Colette, Lloyd, Krillin, Aeris, Sora, Donald, Goofy, Leonardo, Michaelangelo, Raphael, Tails, Donatello, and Bruce, in his big green form, were launching an assault on him, keeping him away from BeastBoy and Raven. Raven's eyes were wide.

"BeastBoy, who are all these...people?" she whispered. BeastBoy turned his head to her, smiling.

"They're firends, Raven. Very good friends." he said happily.

"Grr...What the hell happened here?" screamed Techno. "I'll take down anyone who stands in my way!"

"Hey, BB! I know this must be cool to you, but we can't do that much damage to him!" yelled Zelos, having thrown back the robot's fist. "You gotta give him the finishing hit!"

"But, how?" asked BeastBoy.

"What did Goku and I tell you about?" asked Bruce, smashing Techno on the head.

"Don't start feeling the negative emotions, and back down!" said Sora, slashing at Techno with his Keyblade.

"You mean...the Beast?" BeastBoy, scared.

"Exactly! You have to control it to beat him!" yelled Goku, firing energy at Techno.

"Do it! Don't be a fool!" yelled Vegeta, firing energy like Goku.

"You'll never impress the girl if you don't." said Zelos, now flying next to Colette, and using some type of magic to strike several beams of light around Techno. Techno was beginning to get tired of these annoyances, and BeastBoy didn't know how long they could hold out.

"All right, here goes!" said BeastBoy, stepping forward. He stood, and concentrated hard, though it was hard to tell what. He seemingly delved into his mind, finding the part of it that was the Beast. Surprisingly, the Beast did not seem as vicious as BeastBoy had thought, and, apparently from the aid of his guardians, and his affection towards Raven, had made the Beast much more docile, and BeastBoy easily made an agreement with it, and control was finally gained. BeastBoy felt his body changing, but he was in control this time, and he knew what was happening this time.

All his guardians looked over at him and smiled, and moved away from the event. Techno looked surprised at the sudden lack of assailants, and BeastBoy's sudden change, but he attacked anyway. BeastBoy felt his senses hightened beyond anything before, and the normally too fast attacks of Techno's robot seemed like a mere crawl to him. In one swift moment, he ducked under his fist, dodged another salvo of missiles, and delivered a powerful salsh to the legs of the robot, ripping them off and causing the mech to drop, unable to move. Acting quickly, BeastBoy sliced of the arms from the shoulders, leaving only the section that Techno was in. BeastBoy forced his body back to normal, rather than attack further. BeastBoy saw the police arive a second later, and they arrested Techno, and he returned to Raven, who was speechless. The guardians had disappeared as well.

"Well..." he began, scratching the back of his head and smiling, "shall we go?" he asked.

Raven and BeastBoy got back into the tower, and BeastBoy explained everything that had happened involving his guardians, and his feelings. Raven looked awed.

"So that's why you always seemed better in the mornings." she said, and BeastBoy nodded. Raven stood and thought for a moment, and something occured to her. "What was it that the one named Zelos said about 'impressing the girl?'" she asked smugly. BeastBoy looked surprised.

"Well...that's...I mean, that's just Zelos, I guess...I don't know what...I mean, it's not like I didn't want to...but..." BeastBoy stammered, beginning to gesture wildly, but stopped when Raven placed her hand on his cheek, and he turned to look her in the eyes. Their faces were very close. She was wearing a very smug smile.

"Whatever he meant...you succeeded." she whispered, and closed the distance between their faces, brushing her lips against his. At first, BeastBoy was too shocked to react, but he then eased into the kiss, and he moved his arms around her waist in a loving embrace.

After what was only a few minutes, but felt like an eternity of bliss, they parted themselves from each other, and looked at each other lovingly.

"Not bad for a first date, huh?" BeastBoy asked, and Raven chuckled. Raven left to hed to bed, but not before planting one more kiss on BeastBoy's cheek. BeastBoy stood in there for a minute, and then silently headed towards his room, feeling nothing but bliss as he drifted into sleep.

BeastBoy's Dream...

BeastBoy was surrounded by blackness once more.

"Why am I here again? I don't feel bad at all." he asked himself. He turned around, and saw every guardian that had visited him, standing and smiling at him.

"This isn't a lesson. It's just a bit of a social visit." said Zelos, who had his arm around Colette's waist, and she looked joyful at that.

"Looks like you finally gained control." said Bruce.

"Well done!" said Luigi.

"That was cool!" said Tails.

"Awesome!" said the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

"Good job!" said Goku.

"Hmph...not bad." said Vegeta.

"We knew you would do good!" said Colette and Aeris.

"It didn't take a genius to know you would win!" said Fry and Homer.

"We told you that weakness can be overcome." said Lloyd and Krillin.

"You overcame your problems well." said Sora, Donald, and Goofy.

"Thanks...all of you. I couldn't have done it without all of your help." said BeastBoy, and he walked over and shook hands with each of them, and they said their goodbyes, and BeastBoy watched as they disappeared, and normal slumber enveloped him. He would never forget his many guardians, for as long as he lived.
