Hi guys. Here's another chapter!

Moon Goddess of the Sun: Yeah, a Malchior and the titans showdown! Now there's an idea!

starlit moonshadow: here's your update!

Malchior gaped in disbelief as his daughter hovered over him. 'How could this be?' he asked himself. 'A mere child with no skill whatsoever learning to fly at so young? Outrageous!'

It was outrageous to Angel as well. "Those words," she mumbled, remembering. "They were the keys to Momma's powers." She flew higher. "Maybe I can use my powers against him."

Malchior ground his teeth together angrily. He pushed off the torn ground with his feet and shot skyward, the wind rushing over his body.

His wings pulsed quickly to keep him hovering in the air before he took off after the white enemy dragon that was his daughter. "You won't get away that easily," he hissed, a maniacal grin crossing his features.

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos…" Angel immediately turned and tore through the sky. "I have to get away for a while," she whispered to herself. "I have to find a way out of this." She glanced back to make sure her father wasn't there. "Good. He's not there."

"Oh, am I?" came the dreadful whisper.

Angel gasped in horror. "No!" she yelled in anguish. Malchior smirked evilly and raised a dangerously sharp claw, bringing down sharply and swiping Angel across the chest. She howled in pain, her piercing screech echoing throughout the sky.

The smaller dragon fell from the air, crashing with a thud on the ground. An immense amount of blood escaped from her new wounds, along with wounds that were reopened.

The crimson red liquid poured out of the gash, dampening her chest and soaking the ground.

Angel let out a short, painful roar as her vision blurred. She felt the scales and her tail receding slowly, the claws reducing to flesh-covered hands.

The last thing Angel saw was a tall white-haired green-eyed man. He was kneeling. He was pulling a long white cloth out of his pocket, mopping the blood off of her chest. "Uncle Rorek," she murmured weakly, her voice no more than an undetectable whisper.

Rorek stared into her violet eyes. He had heard her after all. The man continued to mop up the blood that still poured.

Angel eyes fluttered. 'No,' she thought. 'I can't go…have to…have to stay awake…'

But she couldn't. She fainted.

With Raven and Beast Boy

An ear-piercing roar ripped through the sky.

Beast Boy's sensitive ears perked up, listening for any more noise.

Raven looked up, noticing her teammate's stricken expression. "What is it?" she asked urgently. "What did you hear?"

The changeling didn't answer her. "Shh," he whispered, resting his hand on her knee. "Listen."

Raven listened. She didn't seem to hear anything. Beast Boy didn't seem to hear anything either. "I could have swore…" he trailed off and shook his head. "What?" Raven asked, coaxing him along. "I thought I heard a high-pitched dragon scream. It might be the nerves getting the better of me, but it sounded pretty real."

Raven muttered a small 'oh' in return. "I'm scared," she said. Beast Boy nodded. "Me too, Rae," he agreed. "I mean, I want to go out and help her so badly, but we're both too injured to do anything at all." Raven nodded sadly.

"I hate this." "Me too."

They both closed their eyes, not noticing the small vortex hole forming behind them. It started off as a small pea-sized dot, but it expanded until it was the sized of a mini van.

"Uhh, Raven?" Beast Boy said slowly, his voice gaining volume. "Hmm?" she asked. The changeling pointed a shaky finger at the swirling vortex. The empath gasped and scrambled over to Beast Boy, both of them backing up as far as they could from the vortex.

They stared at it nervously for a moment before two teenage girls emerged. One had blue hair and had a pack slung over her shoulder, and the other had white hair.

"Lori?" Beast Boy asked in astonishment. The 19-year-old dusted herself off and looked at the changeling in remembrance. "Hey!" she said with a small smile. "How's it going?"

"How do you know Lori?" Raven asked quizzically. Beast Boy hushed her. "It's a long story. I'll tell you later." He turned to the blue-haired girl who had sold him the illegal spell ingredients.

"What are you doing here?" he asked her. He looked to the white-haired girl beside her. "And who's this?"

Lori took a moment to answer. "This is my sister, Kayla," she said, gesturing towards the white-haired girl who looked to be about seventeen. The strange thing about Kayla was that her eyes had no irises, just whites and pupils, along with the tiniest sliver of icy blue.

Beast Boy remembered the story about Malchior and Lori's mother. He had never seen Kayla before, so he didn't know what she looked like. He saw her now, and he could see the shocking resemblance that she had to Malchior. She looked just like him. "So her father is…" "Yes," Lori closed her eyes sadly.

"What?" Raven asked. "Beast Boy, how do you know Lori? Who's Kayla's father? I have too many questions right now…" She rubbed her head. "Uh, I think Raven should know what's going on before we start talking nonsense," Lori said, trying to avoid more questioning.

"Okay," said Raven. "Beast Boy, how do you-?" "Know Lori?" the changeling finished. The empath nodded. "I sold him the illegal ingredients to use for a transportation spell," Lori said guiltily, shrugging. "And Malchior is Kayla's father."

"Wait! Was he already married to someone else and then married me?" Raven exclaimed. "Um, no, it was…something worse…" Beast Boy mumbled. "Like…oh…" Raven hushed herself. Now she knew what it meant.

"Hey, I have another question," the changeling piped up. Lori and Raven groaned simultaneously. Beast Boy ignored them. "Is Kayla blind?" he asked, pointing at her eyes. Lori nodded. "Blind and deaf," she said. "She's deaf too?" Raven asked. "Life's got to be hard."

"It has gotten better," the indigo-haired girl said, pulling Kayla over to a rock where she could sit down. "She can talk pretty well, but that's only because she's heard people talking before. She's been blind her entire life, but she could hear until she was three."

"Oh," Raven murmured, suddenly noticing the way Kayla's ears were moving. They seemed to be twitching at the sound of vibration. "Can she feel vibrations in the air to know that people are talking?"

"I don't know," Lori said. "But maybe Kayla does." She took both of her sister's hands and began to sign into them.

Hey Kay, it's me, Lori. I was wondering, can you feel the vibrations of sound waves to know that people are talking? She signed.

Kayla nodded and began to speak in a soft, clear voice. "Yes, I can," she said. "For instance, I know we're in another dimension because of how the atmosphere feels. Lori, I know your there because, well, your always there. And I can also detect two other voices: one male, and one female. They are unfamiliar to me. Lor, who are they?"

Their names are Raven and Beast Boy. They're the ones who you saw in your dream last night. Lori spoke slowly as she signed.

"In her dream?" Beast Boy asked in astonishment. Lori nodded. "Yeah. She can see people who need help in her dreams. It was kind of funny… I was wondering how you were making out trying to get Rae back home and all, and then Kay wakes up and says that she had the weirdest dream about a purple haired woman and a green haired man in Azarath. And I still had some ingredients left, so we decided to pop over."

"Well you certainly 'popped over' more gracefully that I did," said Beast Boy. "I almost broke my nose with that stunt!"

Lori cocked an eyebrow. "You spilled the Callisus powder, didn't you?" she asked. "No!" Beast Boy retorted. "It toppled over while we were on a mission. Then I came back and I'm all 'oh no!' so then I started crying because I thought I was never gonna get here, and then WHAM-O! The tears poured into the ingredients, a portal formed, and BAM I'm here!"

"That's a riveting story," Raven said sarcastically. "Listen, Lori, Kayla. We'd really like to stay here and chat, but we're trying to figure out a way to heal each other so we can help my daughter fight Malchior, and Rorek is missing, an-" "Hold up," Lori interrupted. "You have a daughter?" "Yes," Raven said exasperatedly. "It's a long and unpleasant story, but that's not the point!"

"So, since both Kayla and Angel have dragon man blood in them, that would kind of make them sisters, wouldn't it?" Beast Boy asked. Raven glared at him. This was getting them no where.

"Yes, Beast Boy that's very fascinating and all, but we need to…to…" Raven tenderly touched the seemingly healed gash. It was hurting like murder now.

"What's wrong?" Lori asked. Raven removed her hand slowly, revealing blood-tinted fingertips. Beast Boy's eyes went wide in shock. He pulled Raven onto his lap and brushed the hair out of her face. There, on her temple, was a long line of blood dripping down across her cheek.

"The wound reopened," he said. Raven cringed in pain. "What was…aghh…your first clue?" she asked irritably.

"Here," said Lori, walking over to them. "Let me see." She kneeled down next to Raven, carefully looking at the wound that continued to drip more blood. "Hmm," she mused. "It's pretty deep. I'm not even gonna ask how you got this: the curved angel the gash has seems to speak for itself."

"Malchior," Beast Boy seethed. "When Angel kills him, I want his pelt so I can throw darts at it." Lori gave him a scared look. "Are you serious?" she asked in horror. "He's exaggerates when he angry, Lori," Raven said, flinching as she felt a pain of cool hands finger the gash. "It's best to let him go until he cools off."

"An interesting dilemma," Lori murmured, rummaging around in her calfskin pack for something. "Aha!" she said, pulling out a leaf. "Found it."

Raven craned her neck to see what Lori was holding up. Her eyes widened. "Are you trying to drug me or something?" she asked frantically. "That looks like a marijuana leaf."

Lori nodded. "That's what most people think. It may look like a marijuana leaf, but it actually numbs things. When you crush up the leaf and mix it into any kind of liquid, it will numb the pain so you don't really feel anything. My preference…" She pulled out a bottle of liquid soap. "Put it in soap. It spreads fast and it works like a charm."

"Just stop the pain," Raven growled through clenched teeth. The pain was too excruciating for her to handle.

"I know, I'm working," Lori said, crushing up the leaf. She pulled to cap off of the liquid soap bottle and poured some into her hand, the leaf immediately mixing with the soap. "This might hurt a bit, so please, don't wig out," she said, getting some of the stuff onto her fingers. She gently lathered it over the gash, and Raven instantly stopped flinching. Her shoulders relaxed, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"That feels worlds better," she said, closing her eyes. "What happened?" Kayla spoke up. She was sitting silently and calmly on one of the boulders, her legs crossed. Lori leaned over and signed into her hands. Raven had a gash on her forehead that was partially healed when we came. It reopened a couple of minutes ago and I used the numbing lotion stuff to make the throbbing stop. It's still bleeding, though. Do you think you could seal it up so I can put that formula on the wound? "You mean that stuff you've been working on for months?" Kayla asked.

Yes, Lori signed. I've been testing it for a pretty long time now, and I think that it's ready to be used.

"Okay," Kayla said. "Lead the way, sister." Lori took Kayla's hand and pulled her gently over to Raven and Beast Boy. She brought her sister's hand to Raven's gash. "Don't press hard," Lori ordered kindly. "There you go. Heal away."

Kayla nodded, and her sightless eyes began to glow a soft grey color. Her hand glowed simultaneously with her eyes, and the wound began to seal up like before.

"Good girl," Lori praised. Kayla nodded and felt around on the ground for a place to sit down.

"Now what?" Raven asked. She was impatient. "I've got powder," Lori mumbled pulling out a bottle of navy blue powder. "Instant healing." Suddenly, another leaf fell out of the bag. "Is that another one of those leaves?" Raven asked. Lori picked it up. "Hmm, yeah. I must have crushed the real marijuana and put given to you. My bad!"

"WHAT!" Raven and Beast Boy screamed together. Raven jumped up in surprise. "I WAS JOKING!" Lori said, laughing. "Were you?" Raven shrieked. "YES!" the blue-haired girl said truthfully.

Kayla had noticed the vibrating air and spoke up. "What did Lori do?" were the only words that left her mouth. Lori leaned over and signed in her hands. I played the marijuana trick on Raven. You should have seen her. It was priceless!"

"Lor, don't do that," Kayla said, grimacing. "It's not funny. Sorry Raven, Beast Boy. She has a tendency to play cruel jokes like that in any situation."

"At least Kayla has sympathy," Beast Boy grumbled. "Yeah," Raven agreed, sitting down again. "At least."

"Here," said Lori, opening the bottle. She took a bit of the powder on her fingertip and blew it at the empath. Raven felt the stuff hitting her wound but paid no attention. All she felt was the pain releasing itself out of her body and washing away. She felt for the gash on her temple. Nothing. It wasn't there.

"Thank you," she said, smiling. Lori grinned. "No problem," she said. "But I just want to know…what's this about your daughter?"

Images flashed through Angel's mind like a cycle. Her mother…Beast Boy…her father…her uncle…the gash…the blood…dragons…

Her mind stopped. Dragons? Oh yes, that's right, she had transformed into one to kill her father. It hadn't exactly gone as planned, though. She got knocked out.

Wait…knocked out?

But she had transformed back into a human before she lost consciousness. 'Wake up!' Angel shouted at herself. She had to wake up. Her father could come any minute to destroy her. Then there was that little voice in her head that kept saying her name. Angel…Angel…Angel…

Angel flinched as she heard the voice. It was an older, masculine tone. "Mmm," she murmured, trying to force herself awake.

Angel…Angel…Angel…

There it was again. 'That's Uncle Rorek,' she told herself. 'Who else would it be? If it were my Father, I would be dead by now. And Mother and Beast Boy are both too injured to come looking for me.'

Suddenly, she felt a strong force shaking her by the shoulders. "Angel!" Rorek shouted. Angel heard him. 'Wake up!' she screamed at herself. 'Wake up!'

She felt a strong rush of blood to her head, and a sharp jolt to her systems. Her eyes immediately snapped open and light rushed in, and her senses slowly came back, her breathing ragged and fast.

"Angel!" Rorek said happily, letting out a sigh of relief. "Uncle Rorek," Angel murmured, rubbing her head. "I'm sorry…" "It's alright," Rorek said, helping her up.

"You did all that you could." "No!" she protested. "Malchior should be dead, and it's my fault he's not!" There was no reason to call Malchior her father. He wasn't her father anymore. Fathers were kind and protected you. Malchior was none of those things.

Rorek stared at her. "Angel, I understand how you feel," he said sympathetically. Angel nodded slowly. "But you can't fight anymore!" He pointed at her chest. "You've been wounded too severely. Your mother's going to absolutely murder my brother." He let out a long breath. Angel stared up at him with large glassy eyes. "But…" "But nothing," Rorek interrupted. "I can't risk your life."

"But I have to fight!" Angel argued. "I have to!" Rorek closed his eyes slowly and took a deep breath. "You are very stubborn, you know that?" he said.

"I do," she said. "But quit changing the subject! Aghhh!" Angel clutched her chest and fell to her knees. She held her hand over her mouth as she coughed hoarsely. "Oh no," she said softly, pulling her hand away.

It was covered from fingertip to wrist in warm sticky blood. Her mouth and throat were red and sore.

"Uncle, what happened?" she asked. Her voice was very small and faint. "When Malchior slashed you across the chest, he injured your lungs," he said sadly. Angel stared at her blood-smothered hand for a moment, her vision becoming blurred by the tears that were beginning to fall.

"Am I going to die?" she asked softly, her voice choked with fear. "I don't know," Rorek said truthfully. "You need immediate medical attention, that's for sure, and there isn't a hospital or medical facility anywhere I would know."

Angel sighed. "Momma could heal me," she murmured. Rorek nodded. "That's what I was thinking," he said. "I would take you there myself, but I don't want to hurt your lungs any more than they already are (y'all following this?)." "But you can't leave me alone either," Angel finished. "That's just what Malchior wants. For you to go and look for my mother, and then leave me here so he can kill me."

Rorek nodded feebly. She was absolutely right. "Maybe I can send up some sort of signal to let the others know where we are," he suggested. "It's worth a try."

Angel nodded. "I suppose it is," she mumbled. "Well, what are you waiting for?" She stared up at her uncle impatiently. He nodded slowly. "Right," he said, stretching his hand into the air. A small red light thing appeared in the middle of his hand, glowing so brightly that even Angel could see it and she was like four or five feet shorter than he was.

The small light quickly expanded and grew to the size of a watermelon. Rorek used his other hand to hold the light up above his head, and when it finally gained enough power, he shot the light up into the sky. The long stream of red light totally engulfed the sky giving off small sparks every now and then.

"There," said Rorek, watching the red light. "They'll be sure to see it. I would be very surprised if they didn't." Angel let out a breath of relief. "That's good," she said, giving him a weak smile. Then, suddenly, a spine-tingling roar made Rorek and Angel's eyes widen with fear. "And your signal would also give Malchior our location," the little girl said with terror. "Yeah, didn't think about that," Rorek admitted, backing up slowly.

With Beast Boy, Raven, Lori, and Kayla

"Whoa, that's intense," Lori said, wide eyed. Raven was telling her about being brainwashed for the second time. "I know!" Raven said. "I just sat in the back of my mind watching him toy with me and stuff. It was horrible." "And it was!" Beast Boy exclaimed. "You almost shot me with an arrow!"

Raven groaned. "For the last time, I'm sorry I was brainwashed and almost shot you with an arrow. Can you ever forgive me?" "I already have," Beast Boy said, patting her on the shoulder.

The group was following Kayla, even though she was deaf/blind, seemed to know where she was going. "Kay, are we there yet?" asked Lori, who was holding onto Kayla's shoulders. Kayla didn't answer. Lori smacked herself in the forehead. "Duh," she said, reaching for her sister's hands. Are we there yet? She signed. "Just about ten more minutes," the girl replied.

Kayla had fallen asleep while Raven had spoken about Angel. She had dreamt about a little white-haired girl with pretty purple eyes. She looked a bit like Raven, Kayla decided, judging from her eyes and the shape of her hair and stuff. 'That must be her daughter,' Kayla thought. The little girl was unconscious with blood gushing from her chest. There was also a white haired man with kind green eyes. She had never seen this man before, yet he looked familiar.

Kayla had woken up a moment later and simply blurted out that Raven's daughter was in trouble, and off they went.

"Hey," asked Beast Boy, pointing at the sky. There was a great red light spread out in the sky. It was obviously a signal. "What's that?"

Lori touched her sister's arm, signaling her to stop. She stared at the red light for a moment. "It means someone's in trouble. Come on guys, let's go." She touched her sister's arm again. "Kay, let's get a move on," she whispered, even though she knew Kayla wouldn't hear her. "Wait…"Lori murmured. "She's asleep! Kayla, you lazy little gnat…"

"FATHER!" Kayla shrieked suddenly, her head whipping up. "What?" Lori asked herself, grabbing her sister's hands. WHAT ABOUT YOUR FATHER?' she signed harshly. TELL ME!

"My biological father – Malchior – I've never seen him before, but I know it's him. He's attacking Rorek and Angel!" A tear slipped out of her eyes, which were squeezed shut. "You must hurry, Angel's suffered a previous attack…and oh…it's serious…"

Raven eyes widened. "Where are they?" she asked frantically, her voice shrill. "Tell me!"

Where are they? Lori signed. "Just straight ahead," Kayla said, rubbing her head. "Just run! Go!"

Raven and Beast Boy didn't hesitate. They ran ahead as soon as Kayla had told them Angel's location. Lori tugged at her sister's hand, and soon both of them were following suit.

Malchior had positioned himself directly in front of Rorek and Angel, his giant reptilian head straight over them as fire licked his cheeks. "We meet again," he hissed. His dragon mouth curled into a confident sneer. "I almost feel bad bringing your life to an end."

"Malchior, use your head!" Rorek shouted to his brother. "Is this really what you want to do? Killing your own family?" Malchior didn't answer. He simply tilted his head upward and cackled maniacally. "Ah, brother, you amuse me!" he snarled.

Raven glared at the thing that was supposed to be her husband, her eyes glowing with rage. "AZARATH METRION ZINTHOS!" she screamed, black energy erupting from her hands. It snaked its way to Malchior and wrapped itself around him, flinging him backwards.

Angel whirled around as she heard her mother's voice. "MOMMY!" she shrieked happily, running to her mother. She kept running until she felt a sharp pain in her chest, and stopped short of Raven. The empath's eyes widened in fear. "Honey, what's wrong?" she asked softly.

Angel clutched her chest. "He gashed my lungs," she said weakly. "Mommy, it hurts." Raven scooped her daughter into her arms and buried her face in her hair. "It's alright honey, we'll make it all better," she said reassuringly, even though she was scared to death. "Daddy's going to regret what he did."

"Rae, what's wrong?" Beast Boy asked, turning attention to the small child Raven held protectively in her arms. Raven took a long, deep breath.

"Malchior gashed her lungs," she seethed, the anger evident in her eyes. Beast Boy's eyes widened. "He what?" he asked dangerously. Raven squeezed her eyes shut so he wouldn't see her cry. "I'm going to kill him…" she growled. Angel covered her ears, as she knew that things were going to get loud.

"I'M GOING TO KILL HIM!" Raven screamed, setting Angel on the ground. Fire blazed in her eyes.

Rorek backed away slowly and disappeared into the background towards the castle, leaving with no warning. "Where'd he go?" Lori asked, jabbing her thumb in Rorek's direction. Beast Boy stared off towards the castle, where Rorek had gone. "I don't know," he said. "But I sure hope he gets back soon." He glanced at Raven, who was getting angrier and angrier by the second. "I have a feeling that she's not going to be in control for very long."

To be continued…

After ages of hearing nothing, I have finally updated! What will happen next? Well, you can definitely count on a visit from Trigon. Angel gets to see what her grandfather can do!
