I am incredibly sorry for the LONG wait, issues have come up and I had to deal with them first, and of course, I didn't have a computer to type with. But I'll maybe explain that later. Thank you Grumpybear123193, you've gotten me inspired again. Let the fun begin once again! :D :D :) And Tess, Stephen King? No. I'm not that good.
Chapter 9: Fearful Raven
"Welcome back to the Trebbles! Sorry for the longest break ever!" George announced cheerfully. "Now, LadyHood, I did my part, do yours." The beam of light switched over to the exhausted LadyHood, who sighed. She had to face it, either now or never. "It's easy ya know. Just say sorry or somethin," George stated, encouragingly. The Lady gave him a look of surprise. Was that symphony from George? With a little effort the Lady pushed out of her front row chair and onto the stage, where the titans just glared. They loathed her for creating the show, but then again, it wasn't really her fault. LadyHood sighed and faced the audience, expecting boos and things thrown at her. When all she noticed was the hungry glaring eyes for her show, she relaxed.
"Now, I'm sorry for the long break, but school has been devestating. I believe in good grades, so I stopped writing. But I'm back, so let the fun begin again!" LadyHood yelled, waving her hands up. The audience cheered. "Thank you GrumpyBear, you have me inspired once more." They all clapped, even the titans, surprisingly. Perhaps they missed being picked on.... LadyHood motioned for George to take the spotlight and walked back down to her seat, where a recent pile of Science homework lay. They laughed as she surpressed a groan, it was about Rocks. (Just to let you know, I hate that topic) But when George stood in place nearby his table, with the neatly stacked letters on top of it, all eyes were upon him.
"Now, I have been reading your letters, and I find them all highly amusing. I'm sorry if I haven't gotten to you yet, but there's so many... Anyways," George shuffled, throwing papers in the air, "let's get today's reviewers on stage! Would the following get over here: REV, DarkGoddessRaven, and one of our originals, Lexi The Writer!" The crowd whooped loudly, clapping furiously. The 3 chosen writers/reviewers made their way to the stage. George pressed Tekker, and a new flat screen television popped out of nowhere. The Ellen show was on.
"Now isn't that fantastic!" Ellen shouted, waving at the camera. A loud beep went off. "What, am I not allowed to say fan..." The beep echoed again, causing everybody to laugh. "I must say that word too much..." The television switched off, and it gave George an idea.
"You are not allowed to say any F-words you can think of, like for example, fantastic. You also must not say fat, fudge packets, farenheit, blah blah. You understand, titans?" George questioned. The titans slowly nodded, as if they were zombies. "Also..." George thought up, "Starfire, you are not, I repeat, NOT allowed to ask questions. Your innocence is highly annoying." Starfire gazed up in surprise.
"But why must I not.." Starfire was aburtly cut off by Raven, unexpectedly.
"He's right you know. But also it's to keep you from trouble." George grinned at her.
"You know Raven, I think you're getting used to this show." George laughed. "Well, you are our longest guests, even Goku only lasted a few days." Question marks rose from 4 titans.
"Goku is in another dimension." Raven answered for them.
"Right again Raven! You know, I have been looking for an assistant lately..." Raven's eyes widened in horror.
"Don't even think about it." She said, using her key phrase. George sighed.
"Oh well, let's begin! REV, as you happened to be called first, let's hear your marvelous idea!" George announced. REV smiled evilly, and opened the paper. Anticipation glimmered through the crowd, they had waited for this moment for so long. Clearing his/her (lol, not this again...) throat REV began to read.
"Dear Trebbles, I think Raven should have to live her worst fear... her past. Right on stage, and you know my suggestion George." He finished and everyone stared at Raven, whose face was skrewn up in upmost horror. Now all that she tried to remain secret would soon be let out. Obviously she wasn't going to be coperative. When the mechanical hands went to grab her and thrust her over to the center, she blasted them with her powers. The other titans watched speechlessly. Was her past that horrible that she wouldn't let anyone see or even hear it? George growled menacingly, and pressed Tekker. Anti-Telekinsis Ninjas jumped from nowhere and came in for the kill. They grabbed her, breaking her concentration. She was dragged to the center, and REV hid behind George.
"You have Ninjas?" Beast Boy gasped. "Dude, I so want to learn to do that!" George laughed merrily as if Raven had never tried to fight off his devices. The ninjas all bowed before disappearing. Raven stood there, arms crossed. She obviously wasn't going to move or help the situation at all. DarkGoddessRaven whispered in George's ear. He nodded, and turned back upon Raven.
"As DarkGoddess over here has just reminded me, her idea is almost the same as the current one. So.... You are going to have to tell your darkest secrets and thoughts while this one is playing. You got that?" He told her. Raven sighed and nodded. She sprang up into defense position as the looming figure of Trigon bellowed with rage. Raven cowered, and felt her energy being sucked away. Looking at herself, she realized she had gotten smaller! She seemed to be at least 4 years in the past, and her clothes changed. Well, sort of. Before dark blue cloaks her fashion had been purple, and that's what her current cloak was. She put up a shield as Trigon went to strike. He hit it with full force, making it melt away. He punched Raven hard, and she flew across the room and into the wall.
'Ouch.. Did you send the real Trigon to me? This sure feels like it... Anyways, here's my commentary.' Raven spoke telepathically. Raven fell out of the wall, narrowly escaping the nearby wall chunks that fell with her.
"Well, I didn't, but let's see... Hologram, stop!" George commanded, waving at Trigon impatiently. Trigon froze to the spot. "Hmm... Something's missing." George pressed the button and a whole environment spread itself out. Raven watched in horror as it completed her room setting. It was completely pink, with Bratz posters and the complete set of Hello Kitty ornaments. (LOL I'm joking. Here's the real setting.) It was similiar to what she had today. The funky bookcases, complete with educational books (black and grey bindings) lay to the left. Surprisingly she had a chandlier hanging, obviously never used due to all the dust that had built up, and the same bed she had today. She had other items that were unidentifiable to the Earth Race, and Raven really didn't want to go there. A small mirror lay on her dresser, which she used for meditation purposes. (The portal to her mind one) The floor was made from marble, sparkling white.
'This was my room back then, similar to the one I have now except without the black carpet...' Raven paused as she tried to remember this scenario, there were so many... 'He had ordered me to kill the nearby planet with him, and I had refused. He struck me hard, and bombarded me with physcial and verbal attacks which I don't wish to describe.' The hologram of Trigon resumed playing, and he brought out a whip, which was spiked. Raven gave a terrified look, which also could of been, "Oh, Sh-t." He bowled her over and she landed face into the marble, her back exposed. Her cloak had been ripped off and now lay nearby the bedside. He slashed her back, her face enveloped in pain. However, she said nothing. She dealt with the pain until he had finally stopped, a few minutes later. Trigon left her room and the image dissolved.
'Are you sure he was a projector model? That sure hurt like hell. Anyways...' Another bedroom image came up, and Raven sighed sadly. She rounded the corner of the bed, and there she was. Raven's mother, the beautiful Arella, was dead. The skylight above gave it an even deadlier appearance, as the sky was red in Azarath.
'That was... my mother, Arella. He killed her after I disobeyed him for the umphteenth time.' Raven explained. She closed her eyes and a small tear slid down her cheek. She rubbed it away and watched as the image disappeared and reappeared with a new one. It was in the streets of Azarath, blasted into rubble from the battle that raged above.
'I had had enough. He killed my mother, my mentor Azar had died, and there was nothing else left for me in Azarath. I waged war against my father, his reign upon this world was about to end.' Raven levitated up close to her father.
"This has gone on long enough,Father. Begone from this lifetime!" Raven yelled. That got his attention, and he swung around to meet her calm violet eyes.
"You fool! You actually think you can defeat me?" Trigon laughed in her face, then his grew serious. His four red eyes squinted at her, scanning her power level. It was adominably low, she could never win.
"Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos!" She cried, her powers unleashed in a big beam of darkness. Trigon used the same technique, except his was red and a whole lot bigger. Raven began to sweat, the pressure was building. She knew his beam was coming ever closer, and prepared for it. When she was about to give, words from her mentor Azar spoke in her head.
'You are the Raven, the hope for the unseen and lost. Trust in yourself and believe, and never give up.' Raven said. Her forces suddenly began to expand in size, and the tables suddenly turned. Now it was Trigon straining, trying to keep up with his daughter's power. He didn't understand, where had this surge come from? Trigon finally gave way and was obliterated for enternity. Well, so Raven thought.
'I finally defeated him. I recall the joy, when I realized that he hadn't died, he had escaped into my mind! And to this day he remains, tormenting me and urging me to feel angry emotions...' Raven finished her story and fell on the ground. Years seemed to catch Raven back again, and she swung from the little 12 year old back to the original 15. (Well, that's what I think she is anyway..) "And as for secrets, well... I find that Beast Boy is rather cute at times." The stunned audience stared at her, their mouths gaping in surprise. The titans didn't know what to say either. Feeling overly revealed, Raven went back over to her podium and ignored the glares given to her. The crowd burst into applause (as always) and the titans gave her comforting looks.

"Great idea REV, magnificant supporting idea DarkGoddessRaven!" George announced. He would of said, 'Give them a hand,' but it was unnecessary, because the crowd still applauded even after the two reviewers/writers sat down. Raven felt the attention being drawn from her and sighed in relief. Her part was over, hopefully. Lexi waited for the noise to die down before reading the letter. Lexi, finally getting irritated, just started reading the letter. (lol...)
"Dear Trebbles, I would like Robin to have a sleepover with his true love (muhahhaha) and Starfire with hers. Always smiling, Lexi the Writer." The audience clapped, this was going to be awesome. The two titans disappeared from their spots. BB began to freak out when Raven carefully explained the importance of teleporters. He relaxed after her explanation. (BB's getting in love, oh no! lol, he's always been in love 00) The giant television screen appeared, cut in two parts. One side Robin stood, waiting for someone. Starfire was doing the same thing, sitting on a blue couch. The doorbells sounded off in unsion, and both jumped to get it, expecting to see each other. Let's turn onto Robin's first. Robin walked over to the door casually, obviously thinking it was Starfire. He reached the knob and twisted it, and opened the door to reveal his sleepover buddy. It was...
"Hello Robbie-Poo!" Oh yes, it was Kitten. She was already wearing her pajamas, a Hello Kitty attire. She rushed to hug him. He tried to resist, but she was strong! The embrace would be classifed as sweet if it hadn't been for Robin's sour face. (lol, I love tormenting Robin. Great Idea Lexi!) He pushed her into the house and closed the door, knowing he couldn't of escaped anyways. She spread out her sleeping bag VERY close to his. Robin shuddered at the thought while heading into the kitchen to get some drinks. This was going to be a long night.
Meanwhile, Starfire was having an interesting time as well. She had opened the door to find not Robin, but...
"Glurto... Glurty...?" Starfire couldn't even say his name. (lol, I don't think I can even spell it) But sure enough, the green blob was the swamp moons of Glenthrax Thor (or something, tell me if I'm wrong) had arrived. Using his supporter platform he floated into the house, where Starfire closed the door.
What's gonna happen next, on... The Trebbles?
