AAAAAH! TODAY'S MY BIRTHDAY! I'M FOURTEEN! YAAAAY!

Okay. Everybody get together and let's sing…
"Happy birthday to you,"
"Happy birthday to you,"
"Happy birthday dear Lina,"
(Yes. That is my first name. It's pronounced like 'lee-nah' not 'lynn-nah' or lie-nah' just 'lee-nah.')
"Happy birthday to you!"

Aaw. You're all too kind!

And because it's my birthday I invited 2 of my closest friends to go see 'Batman Begins'! AAAAAH! It was the BEST movie I've ever seen! If you've never seen it, you HAVE to see it! GAH! It rocked!

Sorry. Here's storie related stuff:
I've decided to call this trilogy 'The Empire of Evil.' Yeah I know it sucks but it was all I could think of. This is part one. The sequel is part two and it's going to be called 'Affliction' and part three is either 'Ammunition' or 'Apparition.' I can't decide. At the end of this storie I'm going to have a poll to figure out which one title you people like better for part three even though you don't know what it's about. Give me your ideas.

I want to warn you that this chapter is pretty choppy because it's not my fault I have four different scenes/topics to talk about!

Chapter 16: Blood and Chocolate
Robin and Starfire zipped through traffic as the time neared midnight. Finally reaching another set of woods, the woods Diable was located in, they hopped of the motorcycle. It was eerie silent. There were no crickets chirping or owls hooting. There was occasional whooshing noise as the wind swept up dry leaves on the forest floor.

"Robin." Starfire grabbed Robin's arm and shivered. "I don't like it here."

Robin looked up at the sky. It was full moon but it was gradually being covered by a single dark wisp of cloud. "Me neither." There was a distant howl of a dog or a wolf or something. It made Starfire 'eep' and the hairs on the back of Robin's neck rise.

Robin took the handbag from Starfire's shaking hand. He unzipped it and pulled the goblet out. He set the bag on the motorcycle. He held the goblet tightly and walked forward into the woods. "Let's go."

Starfire rushed up and walked beside him. Every sudden sound or if she thought she saw something Starfire would scream. Robin tried ignoring her because he was frightened himself but couldn't. He finally grabbed Starfire's hand. They looked at each other and smiled weakly.

The path was long and winding. Robin could swear they went in complete circle. They came to a bridge. The bridge crossed over a small rushing stream. Robin looked over and almost gagged at the sight. The water was blood red. Robin swore he saw a skull float down the bloody stream.

They reached the freakish sign from Robin's dreams stating:

Welcome to Diable Home of the banished Devil worshipers

Do not enter

Haunted

Just like the dreamsthey walked into a clearing full of rundown huts. Robin let go of Starfire's hand. The wind became sharper and colder. As they approached, the ground shook. They stopped walking and the black temple rose from the ground.Facing Robin and Starfire was a large, heavy black door. On the door frames there were skulls and other deathly objects carved into it. Robin walked forward and placed his hand on the door to open it. He suddenly pulled it back when a raspy voice spoke.

"The way is shut. It was made by those who are dead. And the dead keep it. The way…is shut."

Robin finally found his voice and yelled out, "Let us in! We are here to speak to Trigon!"

A ghost became visible next to Robin. He wore a long black cloak with the hood up. He had a see-through green tint to him showing he was a ghost.

The same raspy voice spoke again but now from the ghost. "What are your names?"

"Robin and Starfire," Robin answered.

"And how was the Mighty One contacted you?"

"Er, through dreams—I mean, visions."

"Enter…" The ghost motioned to the door and the door swung open.

Inside it was pitch black. The only light came from a bright red flame in the center of the temple. The flame came from the ground and looked to have no fuel keeping it going. Above the flame four red eyes opened and stared at the newcomers. The ghost bowed his head and put his hand out telling Robin and Starfire to walk to the flame.

The eyes grew a darker red as a deep, threatening voice spoke. "Ah. Robin and Starfire. You have come at last."

Stone chairs rose from the ground behind them and Robin and Starfire carefully took a seat.

"We have the goblet." Robin held out the tarnished silver goblet.

"Good," Trigon said. "I was hoping you would understand those visions I sent you. I knew were a smart boy."

"I'm not a boy," Robin said as he clenched his fists.

Trigon chuckled deeply. "I need more items for the spell. Do you wish to continue?"

"Yeah," Robin answered, "You're going to kill us if we say 'no' so we might as well."

Trigon chuckled again. "You see, you are a smart boy. Now I need you to fill that goblet with the water from the stream you passed over to get here. Can you do that?"

"Yeah. Anything else? A medium order fries maybe?"

"No… But this task may be harder than the first two tasks. I need…the Gem."

Slade was in downtown Jump City. He was wearing upside down yellow star-shaped swimming goggles and yellow dish washing gloves. Tied around his neck was a long red towel.

"I am Goggle Man!" Slade announced triumphantly. "Protector of all people and wearer of all goggles!"

He ran down the street next to some man riding on a bicycle. He held his arms out in front of him and made 'vroom'-ing noises. Slade stopped when he saw a old couple walk by a store with shopping carts out in front.

"Do you need any help?" Slade asked the couple. They just kept walking. "Watch out for those shopping carts." They walked by not looking or saying anything.

Slade stopped at a woman who was waiting by the side of the street. "Watch out for that tree." Slade pointed to the tree next to the woman. The woman just smiled.

Slade found another woman who was walking into her apartment. "Wait!" Slade yelled. The woman turned. "What do you have there?" The woman held up the water bottle that she held. "Watch out for that water. If it's above room temperature you'll burn your lips." The woman waved and went into apartment.

Slade stopped at a bunch of people who were waiting to cross the street. He pointed to some old lady. "Watch out for this woman. She's dangerous." The other people didn't even look.

The old lady stepped out of the crowd and held her fingers out at Slade. She made a grunting noise and tried to scare Slade. Slade did the same thing. They kept doing it over and over until the lady looked away. She quickly looked back and held her fingers out again. This time purple energy came out and zapped Slade who disappeared.

"Aw man, Raven. You okay?" There was no answer.

Cyborg was kneeling down next to the limp form of Raven laying on the ground he lifted her head in his enormous palm.

"Is she okay?" Beast Boy yelled from across the room. He was still stuck to the floor.

Cyborg held Raven's tiny wrist and felt for a pulse. He luckily found one. "She's alright! Just unconscious…again…"

"Dude! That's the second time this week! ((A/N: Maybe in two weeks. I dunno. I'm not keeping track of the time plot in this storie!)) Will she be okay?"

"Yeah." Cyborg lifted Raven up in his arms. "I'm bringing her to the Infirmary. I'll probably look for Batman after that."

"What about me!" Beast Boy yelled as Cyborg walked out the door.

"Don't worry!"

▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄

"What Gem?" Robin looked at Starfire, asking silently if she knew but Starfire shrugged and shook her head.

"Raven of course. Do you not remember the prophecy I told you of?" The four red eyes widened.

Robin thought for a moment. "Oh yeah."

"Are you going to harm Raven?" Starfire spoke for the first time. Her voice was small and fearful.

"No. Not in anyway she doesn't deserve," Trigon said.

Starfire rose from her seat. "Do not harm her!"

"Don't worry. She won't die. I am going to merely use some of the energy contained within her. It's not going to kill her." Starfire sat down but narrowed her eyes. "I promise."

"Just believe him, Starfire," Robin said in a final tone of voice.

Starfire leaned back into her chair and sighed. "Okay."

"Good. I am giving you until dawn. Now, leave."

Red X wanderedaround the Tower for a while. He thought, 'Well, while I'm here I might as well look around.' So the black jumpsuit wearing…dude… wandered the hallways. He came to a door labeled 'Starfire.'

"Sweet!"

Red X walked into the room and was overwhelmed by all the pinks, purples and yellows. He jumped up high, did a couple flips and landed on Starfire's pink and round bed. He bounced around on his butt, enjoying himself with the fluffy bouncy-ness of the bed.

X stopped bouncing when he spotted a picture that made the blood rush to his face. He quickly got up and rushed to a picture frame that stood on Starfire's little TV. He growled when he saw that Robin had his arm around Starfire's shoulders, pulling her real close. Their faces were squished against each other's but they were smiling big, bright smiles. Red X threw the frame on the bed and started searching through Starfire's drawers.

He "accidentally" came to Starfire's underwear drawer and "accidentally" took a pink pair of undies out. He made a 'ooh!' noise and stretched waistband a couple times with his eyes opened really wide. He reluctantly put the pink bottom-coverer back in the drawer and went through another. He finally came to the drawer he was looking for.

Batman, Cyborg and a sticky Beast Boy were looking down at Raven who was floating a little above her bed in the Infirmary.

"What is she doing?" Batman asked, rubbing his chin.

"She's healing herself," Cyborg answered as he was pushing some buttons at the computer that was monitoring Raven. "She had a slight concussion but that's nothing Raven can't heal on her own."

Beast Boy let out a breath he didn't know he was holding then he went back to pulling the red goo off of his uniform.

Cyborg turned from the computer. "So I think we can let her stay here for tonight and we can sleep well knowing she'll be okay."

"And what of Robin and Starfire? They've gone again?" Batman asked.

"Yeah," Beast Boy said. "They used Red X as a distraction."

Batman's eyebrows furrowed together. " But I thought…"

"We all did," Cyborg interrupted. "Somehow they brought him back to life."

"Any guesses how?"

"Well, I did notice that Robin was sitting all by himself in the kitchen and Starfire was trying to keep us from going to him."

"Hmm…" Batman rubbed his chin some more. "I'll ponder this tonight." He walked towards the door and opened it. "Well, if that's all, I'll be heading to my room." And he headed down the hallway.

"Yeah. We should too." Cyborg said to Beast Boy.

Beast Boy glanced over at Raven. "Yeah. I'll be right out."

Cyborg smiled. "She's fine, BB."

"I know, but…" He looked at Raven again.

"Whatever." Cyborg left and said.

"Yeah." Beast Boy walked to Raven's bedside and took a seat in a chair there. He looked up at the computer showing Raven's condition. From what he could tell she was almost fine. He looked back at Raven and decided that it would be better if he left her alone. He moved to get up but found he could not. "Aw…damnet…" He was stuck to the chair.

((A/N: This part is going to be black-and-white, as in simple. I didn't have much will power to make it detailed. So for this I am sorry. Read anyways!))

Robin and Starfire walked out of the forest and to the R-Cycle. It was still dark out and still cold. The moon was still enormous.

"What are our plans?" Starfire asked looking from the moon to Robin.

"I say we get Raven first. Then on the way back we can get the…um—water from the stream." Robin got on the R-Cycle and turned the key. It revved up and started humming softly. Starfire decided it was not the best time to ask questions and hopped on the back of the bike, placing the helmet on her head.

To make a long storie short, Robin and Starfire rode to the Tower on the motorcycle and flew across the lake, sneaked in through the roof, Robin told Starfire the plan, and sneaked into the Infirmary where they guessed Raven was and their hypothesis was proven true.

So they found Beast Boy sleeping in a chair and Raven floating above her bed. Just like they had planned, Starfire lit a starbolt and held it in front of Beast Boy's face in case he woke up. Robin stood across the room and pulled out a throwing disc from his multi-pocketed belt. He threw the disc at Raven and even thought the contact was light, the disc exploded and Raven was frozen inside an oversized icicle. Starfire quickly picked up Raven and followed Robin out the door. The whole time Beast Boy did not wake up.

Or did he…

So Red X opened the drawer which happened to be glowing as if God wanted him to find it. Inside was a pink Polaroid camera, scissors, tape, construction paper, glue, and all the crafty goodness. He took out the camera, the scissors, and glue, staring at them as if they were precious diamonds. In the background, that holy and angelic music was playing as a light from heaven shown down upon the mask of the Red X.

Red X held the items to his chest. "God loves me!"

The music and lights quickly shut off and Red X got to work. First, he pointed the camera to himself and smiled although you couldn't see it. He said 'Cheese!' and took the picture. The Polaroid came out and he started shaking it. Then background music started playing again which just happened to be 'Hey Ya' by Outkast fast forward-ed to the good part:

Shake it, sh-shake it (Oh oh!)
Shake it, sh-shake it
Shake it, sh-shake it
Shake it, shake it
Sh-shake it (Oh oh!)
Shake it like a polaroid picture
Shake it, sh-shake it (Hey ya!)
Shake it, sh-shake it
Shake it, shake it
Shake it, sh-shake it (Shake it sugar!)
Shake it like a polaroid picture

(Shake it, sh-shake it
Shake it, sh-shake it
Shake it, sh-shake it
Shake it, shake it
Sh-shake it
Shake it like a polaroid picture
Shake it, sh-shake it
Shake it, sh-shake it
Shake it, shake it
Shake it, sh-shake it
Shake it like a polaroid picture)

Red X started dancing around the room, still shaking the picture. The music immediately stopped as the picture started showing. Red X threw the camera down and picked up the scissors. He cleanly cut his head out. Next he moved on to the framed picture that made him want to throw up. He took the back off and took the picture out. Starfire's room turned into an evil laboratory and Red X turned into an mad scientist with crazy gray hair and still wearing the mask. Scary music started playing in the background. Laughing evilly, Dr. Evil Red X put glue on the back of the picture of his head. He then slammed in down on Robin head. He pounded on the picture over and over again, laughing maniacally and yelling "SABOTAGE!" over and over again.

Suddenly everything changed back to normal. Red X put the 'sabotaged' picture back in it's frame and set it daintily upon the television. He picked up his scraps and supplies and threw them back in the drawer. He walked out of the room, smiling, proud that he had done his first good deed.

Oh and I'm fourteen going on fourteen and one day. Yay.

This chapter was 7 pages long on Microsoft Word.
