A/N: Okay! We are so getting close to the end of this storie! OMP! (Oh my pancakes for those who didn't know.) Next chapter should be the last one. Oh and I'm sorry that I couldn't get Raven and Beast Boy together in this storie but they will definitely in the sequel. And I'm going to give the conclusion of that "little" fight Raven and Beast Boy had it the sequel too because I didn't really give if they were okay with each other or not. I will start on the sequel as soon as I can but I have a lot of stories I want to work on. You guys have to read the next storie I'm going to write! It's going to be called GAH! and it's going to be a humor/romance. There's mostly going to be humor though. Parings include RobStar and probably a little BBRae. I've been wanting to write this since before Addiction but I loved Addiction so much that I had to write it first.
Well, I'm going to tell you a little about what GAH! is about. So the Titans including Terra go back in time to the caveman time which happens to also include dinosaurs… But the main point is some major Terra bashing. There's death/murder…you can guess who is going to die… And well I kinda want to make one of the main characters I this storie die but I'm not sure if you guys would hate me or love me with that… So…yeah… It's coming soon and you better read it!

Chapter 17: Jizania
Slade sat in his living room in a reclining chair. There was a pancake on his face with a hole in it for his one eye and a hole for his mouth.
"Does Pancake Face like syrup? I dunno. Let's ask him. Wait! I am him and I looove syrup!" He took a container of syrup and started drinking it until there was a knock on his apartment door. "Who is it?"
"It's Larry from 3C," came the response.
"Come in."
In walked a kinda fat guy with a growing bald spot on his head. "Hi Slade. I need to borrow your can opener."
Slade turned his head to see Larry. "Oh yeah, yeah. It's in the kitchen. Go for it."
Larry walked in to the kitchen. He was making loud and weird noises as he searched for the can opener. Slade just sat in the reclining chair smacking his lips. Larry finally came out with the can opener in hand.
"Hey Slade. How's the world domination going?"
"Oh it's…it's good. I'm doing this thing called Pancake Face."
"Well I think it sucks. By the way, thanks for the can opener!" And Larry walked out.
A couple hours later Slade's fat ugly friend Ralphie walked in. "Hey Slade! There's a dead body by the train tracks!"
Slade jumped up. "Wow! Cool! Let's go see!"
They ran down the hallway and into the apartment labeled 3C. There was a model train set laid out on the floor and Larry was laying on his back next to it.
Slade and Ralphie pinched their noses. "EEEEW! It smells!"
Ralphie picked up a stick he found on the apartment floor. He handed it to Slade. "Poke it!"
Slade took the stick and dug it into Larry's gut. Larry suddenly woke up and yelled. Slade and Ralphie screamed lazily and ran slowly out of the apartment.

The night was almost ending as the sky turned purple and orange and all those pretty colors. The wind was sharp and it was cold for a summer day. Trees shook as the wind blew through them. People who woke early to go to work were tightening their sweaters and coats around them and quickly heading into the warmth of their cars. Parents were turning on the heat in their homes to warm their children and to keep them from getting sick.
Everyone could feel that today was different. Today felt different from all the other days. Everyone could tell that something big was going to happen. Something dark and scary. Something that would change their lives forever.
▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄
Beast Boy's eyes shot open as he heard something explode. And right in front of him was a giant green light. He recognized it was Starfire's starbolt. He found that Starfire was not looking at him but at Robin. Daring not to move he slowly moved his eyes to where the explosion came from. He looked down and saw that Raven was trapped in a block of ice. His eyes widened to the horror he was imagining in his head that Robin and Starfire were going to perform upon Raven.
When he swore Robin had caught his gaze, he quickly shut his eyes and faked sleeping. He hoped Robin didn't realize he was awake because Robin could do some damage with that Bo Staff. He watched through squinted eyes as Starfire left him and picked Raven up in her arms. Beast Boy wanted to save Raven, wanted to be her hero. But he couldn't do anything.
Robin and Starfire left the room and Beast Boy squirmed and bit upon his bindings until he became free. He shot up in the air as a humming bird and followed after Robin and Starfire.
▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄
Starfire flew and carried the frozen Raven back to the village of Diable while Robin rode his motorcycle below her. Robin turned to look back a lot on the way because he swore that someone or something was following them. Robin stopped on the bridge and took a cup full of blood/water. And somehow Robin took it back to Diable while still driving the motorcycle. He knows how to multitask. No dip, Sherlock.
Upon reaching the black temple, Robin kicked the door open and strutted in with Starfire following. Just before the door could shut a green fly zipped in. Starfire stood Raven next to her chair and sat.
Before sitting Robin held up the goblet. "I got your smoothie," he said dripping with so much sarcasm that Raven would have to run for her money. He sat.
Beast Boy's eyes widened. He recognized those eyes. They were from that time he and Cyborg entered Raven's mind. 'Trigon! Their working for…Trigon!' His little mind could not find any reasons to why Robin and Starfire would betray them and work for…the incarnation of evil.
The atmosphere changed and it felt almost Trigon was smiling. "Good job. You've completed all my missions." The atmosphere immediately changed. Silence. And then,"There is another presence among us…"
Beast Boy who was sitting as a fly on Starfire's chair was sure he was caught. He panicked and some how smacked himself on the head. 'Come on Beast Boy! This is the Devil we're talking about here! The "all-seeing" Devil!' He transformed into a flea just to make himself a little less noticeable.
Robin and Starfire looked around. Who was here? Were they caught? Was it Batman?
▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄
Batman lay in his bed with the mask off, seeing as that thing is pretty uncomfortable. He was thinking about all the reasons for Robin and Starfire's betrayal, why Red X was alive again, why Raven and Beast Boy were throwing verbal daggers at each other. This team is going to need some serious help when, and if it ever does, get back together. They'd need to learn how to deal with each other and how to confide in each other's with their problems. He'd need to give Robin and other extremely long talk about romantic relationships and falling in love and all that baloney. Love is a weakness. Enemies find it and use it to their advantage. Maybe he could take a member from the Titans East and switch him with Starfire. Robin may hate him for the rest of him life but at least both Robin and Starfire would be safe.
The Dark Knight shot up when his communicator thing started beeping. He took it out an answered it. It was Alfred.
"Master Bruce, the scientists working on the Xynothium project have found something very interesting that you should see. If you could return home immediately that would be appreciated."
"How long will it take?"
"Oh, a few mere hours, but it would be nice if you would stay tonight and arrive back in Jump City by tomorrow."
Batman quickly checked the time. It was 5:30 AM. "Alright. I'm packing and leaving now."
"I will be expecting your arrival." The call ended.
One the way out, Batman wrote a note explaining everything. He posted it on the fridge and left to get in his mini jet plane thing that was conveniently located in the garage below the roof.
▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄
"Who is there?" Trigon yelled.
There was no answer.
If fleas could sweat Beast Boy would be sweating like crazy. He wondered if he should just transform into a human and show that he was here. Maybe his punishment will be a little less harsh. Beast Boy chuckled nervously. 'Yeah right.'
"WHO IS THERE!" Trigon roared.
Out of the shadows on Robin and Starfire's right Red X strutted out like he owned the place.
"Red X!" Robin, Starfire, Beast Boy, and Trigon said in unison.
Red X made a pose as if he were a women model for lingerie. "Miss me?"
The atmosphere changed again. Trigon's fire grew larger and flames were erupting from the cracks in the floor. Soon the whole room was covered in fire.
"JIZANIA!" Trigon roared once again.
Out of a doorway that Robin, Starfire, and Beast Boy never noticed was there came a petite girl around Raven's age. She had dark, dark black hair. Darker than Robin's if possible. Her hair was long and cascading down her back to around her waist. On top of her head was a gold chain net with gold beads at every intersection. Her face was extremely pale, more of a white color compared to Raven's. Her eyes were a abnormal bright gold color and sparkled as the fire was reflected upon them. She wore a long white dress that matched her skin. The ends of the sleeves were wide and had gold trim. She wore a gold necklace with a single red stone on the end. Her fingers were long and bony. She was really quite beautiful. ((A/N: OH! You like my proper language!)) Any guy who liked queen-like people would fall for her.
"Jizania?" Robin said with wide eyes. He never thought he would meet her. And he definitely never thought she had any association with Trigon. He was suspicious but never thought deep into it.
"Yeah. It's me Robin." Jizania looked down as if she were embarrassed.
The fires disappeared as Trigon cooled his temper. But Starfire's temper rose. Who was this girl? And how did Robin know her? She was definitely much pretty then Starfire. (A/N: …Or so she thinks…GASP!)) Did Robin…like… her?
Red X walked over to Jizania and put an arm around her. "Yeah. Ain't she cute, Robin? She's my Cutie Number 2." You could almost see Red X smiling. "But don't worry Starry. You're still Cutie Number 1."
Jizania pushed Red X away. "Get off me, you pervert."
"Jizania. Do you have any input to why Red X is here…alive?" Trigon tried to ask nicely but it didn't come out right.
Jizania raised her head up high and clenched her white branch-like fingers. "So what if I brought Red X back to life!" she screamed. "I was just try to help them!" She pointed to Robin and Starfire. "And if you have a problem with that Trigon, you can shove up your big red butt!"
Some sort of invisible force punched Jizania in the jaw and she fell backwards into the wall. She stood up a little shakily.
"You can't boss me around anymore Trigon. I'm tired of running errands for you. I'm tired of being your messenger. I'm tired of your rules against a love life. (Red X - "Yeah! Let her have a love life!") I'm tired of being treated like dirt. Just because you're my relative doesn't mean you have to act like my king."
Beast Boy, Robin, and Starfire all gasped at this. Trigon was Jizania's relative? They all glanced at the still frozen Raven. So Raven and Jizania were like cousins or something? Crazy.
Trigon's flames grew hotter and Robin, Starfire, and Beast Boy could fell the heat growing warmer.
"As punishment for your actions," Trigon said, "I'm taking your powers away."
Jizania's golden widened. "What!"
"I'm taking your powers away," Trigon repeated.
Jizania's eyes widened more. "But you can't! They're all I have! I'm nothing without my—" Jizania was suddenly knocked down onto her knees. Her bosom was raised high as a golden wisp of cloud was slowly floating out of her chest. The cloud traveled to Trigon's flame and disappeared at the base as if it was being sucked in. A loud breath came from Jizania and she leaned over with her head between her knees.
Quiet sobs came from the girl. "They-they were all I had to remember my mother by."
They all could feel nothing but sympathy. Beast Boy was reminded of how Terra was broken when Slade was controlling her. All she wanted was to die. Robin was reminded of the night his own parents died, how he cried himself to sleep many nights. Starfire thought of a time on Tamaran when her grandmother who loved her so much had died. She cried so much that night.
Red X got down on one knee next to Jizania. He put a hand on her back. This time he was being sincere. He actually felt bad for this girl and wanted to comfort her. This wasn't part of some sick plan to touch her. He lightly lifted her shoulders and then hugged her. Jizania let him. She didn't hug him back but she let him hold her. After all the perverted things he's done she let it all go and let herself be held by the one person she wanted to kill so badly but he was already dead.
Starfire cried but tried to not let Robin see her tears. And he didn't. He was off in his on little world, memories rushing back to him at full force.
And if Trigon didn't do enough he spoke again. "Go away, Jizania. We have work to do."
She pushed Red X away and got up. She ran through the door, crying all the way. Starfire and Red X got up and followed her, wishing to comfort her.
"What do you want me to do?" Robin stood up, ready for the excruciating task he was about to get.
"First you must pour the water slowly into this fire."
Robin took up the goblet and slowly drizzled it around the fire.
'Water!' Beast Boy thought. 'More like the blood of poor defenseless souls which Trigon collected and decided to drain it all in the river because he had an overstock in his cupboard.' He silently laughed at his own thoughts.
He then looked over to Raven. She was still looked as if she were asleep as she was trapped in the mini iceberg. This reminded Beast Boy of the cartoon he'd only seen a couple times. It was like 'Aviator: The Last Air Breather' or something. He saw that a small puddle of water was forming under block of ice. It was melting! And fast too!
The fire and the eyes disappeared for a split second and became visible again with a green glow to it. "Next, put the goblet in."
Robin did as he was told with no expression on his face. Nothing happened for a few moments but then suddenly the goblet flew up into the air, high above Trigon's eyes, and exploded. The silver shards floated in midair as if they were weightless. Just as quickly as they exploded, the pieces flew back together forming a new goblet. The new goblet wasn't as tall as the first but a little stubby. It was pitch black and the cup part was wider. Printed in bright red ink, which seemed to be and probably was blood, on the side of the cup were the numbers '666,' the mark of the beast. Some sort of green liquid shot up out of the flames like Ol' Reliable. The liquid curved and poured into the cup. The goblet descended and floated towards Robin. It stood there in front of him. Robin looked at it not knowing what to do.
"Take it," Trigon said so hoarse it sounded to Robin like Batman's fake Batman voice.
Robin took hold of the goblet, waiting for instruction. Robin noticed a red light inch from under Trigon's flame. It followed the cracks in the stone floor towards Raven. Once it reached it's destination, Raven's ice was engulfed in flames. You couldn't see anything but fire. Robin's eyes widened as did Beat Boy's.

Red X and Starfire had entered a dark hallway. The only light came from the torches light on the walls. There were many hallways leading off from this one and they couldn't decide whether they should follow this hallways to the end or turn onto one of the other hallways. They was suddenly a loud sob. They listened for a moment trying to figure out which way it came from. There was another sob.
Red X pointed to a hallway to their right. "This way."
They ran down the hallway following the sound of Jizania's cries. The hallway starting declining and started going under ground. The descent ended at a hallway that looked like a cave. All the walls were made of hardened brown clay. There were holes in the walls occasionally with long curtains hanging from them and Red X and Starfire could only assume they were doorways into someone's room.
They saw a flash of white disappear into one of the rooms. Starfire and Red X walked in. There were no torched lit so it was dark. The only things they could make out were a small bed, a large chest, and a large wardrobe.
"Go away," a sad voice, recognized to be Jizania's said.
"But Jizania—" Starfire started.
"Leave. Me. Alone."
"No," Red X said.
A large book came sailing out of nowhere and was headed straight for Starfire. Red X caught it before it could hit her.
"Why did you throw a book at Starry?" Red X asked angrily. He threw the book on the ground.
Out of the shadows, Jizania stood up. Her face was streaked with tears and her dress had dirt on the bottom. "Because you wouldn't go away."
"Please," Starfire held her hand out. "We only wish to help you, to comfort you."
"The only way to do that is by giving me my powers back." Jizania breathed in as if she was holding a razor in between her teeth. When she talked, it sounded like a sword was stuck in her throat. People that didn't know what was going on could tell that she was angry and heart broken and that you should stay away from her.
Red X was going to say something but decided to let Starfire do all the talking.
"Maybe your god meant for this to happen," Starfire said. "Maybe you will do better things without your powers."
"Yeah right." Jizania sunk back into the shadows. "Go away. I'll figure this out on my own."
Starfire lit a starbolt and the whole room was covered in a blinding green light. Red X and Jizania had to cover their eyes because it was so bright. Starfire marched over to Jizania and picked her up. "No. You will talk to me. I can help you." Starfire's face softened. "I promise."
Jizania sighed and walked to the only torch in the room. She whispered something to it and it lit. Starfire discharged her starbolt and green light was replaced by a red glow.
Jizania sat upon her bed and Starfire followed. "I will talk to you Starfire but I do not feel like talking to him."
Starfire gave Red X a look that meant sorry. Red X nodded and turned to leave, disappointed.
"Wait," Jizania said. X turned. "I just wanted to say that without my powers your stuck here. Your alive for real."
Red X slumped shoulders raised. "Sweet! Now I have a chance with Cutie!" He held his fingers shaped like a gun at Starfire, made a shooting gesture, and left.
Starfire rolled her eyes, something she had learned from Raven. "So…um… Jizania…" Starfire was truly at loss for words.
"Are you wondering how I know Robin?"
"Well, actually, yes."
"Don't worry. We don't like each other or anything if that's what you were thinking. He's too…obsessive and gets too wired up, no offense."
Starfire only nodded. She looked around the room. The wardrobe and chest she had seen before were made of cherry wood and seemed to be hand-carved. The floor was made of the made clay stone stuff that made the walls. There was a single oil painting of a little girl with black hair and gold eyes (which Starfire assumed to be a younger Jizania) held up by and woman and man. The man, Jizania's father, had dirty blackish-brownish hair and hazel eyes. The woman, her mother, had that same black hair and gold eyes as Jizania. Jizania was a mini replica of her mother. They all had big smiles on. That was the only thing that hung on the walls. Starfire looked down at bed she was sitting on. The blanket was black with shiny gold stars randomly placed through out. She looked back up at Jizania.
"I work for Trigon. His sister is my mother's mother. After my parents died Trigon took me and made me work among a couple other humans with powers Trigon had given them and the Archfiend ghosts. My mother was half-demon, just like your friend Raven."
"You know Raven?" Starfire squeaked.
"Yeah. Who doesn't? She was supposed to be Trigon's portal but it didn't work out, did it? So Trigon is my great uncle and Raven is my first cousin one generation removed. I think I've met Raven once or twice when my parents were still alive."
"How old were you? I mean, when they died."
"Oh, um, I was 10 years old. Raven and I were about the same age. But we never played together. She was mean and I was scared of her. I always thought Trigon would jump out of her and kill me."
"What did you do around here?" Starfire looked down. Did Jizania still hate Raven? So she wouldn't help her and Robin if Trigon didn't keep his promise and they needed help saving her.
"I keep all the people sent to Hell in track. Made sure they were supposed to be here and stuff. I was kinda like Trigon's assistant. For fun, when Trigon wasn't ordering me around, I had this friend. He was a human and his name was Aiden. He was a Trigon worshipper and Trigon found him worthy enough to bring down here to work for him. We hung out and stuff. Made mischief. Did pranks on the other kids."
"Is Aiden still alive?"
"Yeah. We're still best friends."
"Do you like him?"
Jizania visibly blushed. It was extremely noticeable against her snow-white complexion. She leaned forward to Starfire. "Yes. He's hot. All of the girls are all over him," she whispered as if they were surrounded be people.
Starfire giggled. She felt as if she knew Jizania forever and regretted disliking earlier her just because she knew Robin. "Maybe he likes you."
"Back to the subject!" Jizania blushed some more.
"No. Please may we meet this Aiden?" Starfire forgot all about what was happening upstairs with Robin and Raven and Trigon.
"No! He's probably still sleeping! It's like…" She picked up an alarm clock that was set on the floor next to her bed. "…Seven AM…oh…"
"So that means he should be awake." Starfire got up and opened the curtain so she could walk out into the hallway. She ran straight into a body.

A/N: BUAHAHAHA! I have to say that I hate new characters/original characters. For some reason when an author adds them to their storie it's kinda annoying. I don't know why. It's cuz I'm a freak I guess. But I guess that makes me a hypocrite right? Cuz Jizania is my OC. And in the sequels there is going to be tons of OCs. That's tragic.
Did anybody get All Star Batman and Robin number 2? I did! I loved it! It was hilarious! I love the part where Dick goes all crazy and then Batman slaps him! It's awesome! Number 3 is on sale October 26. GET IT!
Okay, I promise Starfire talking to Jizania will have a point next chapter if you were wondering. Cuz usually I put stuff in this storie but it doesn't help with the plot. But Jizania has a major role, I guess you could say. And so doesn't Aiden…kinda… Acutally I think he might be more on the line of an unneeded character but too bad! It's my storie!
This chapter was 9 pages long on Microsoft Word.
Later days! Until next chapter, which happens to be the last, the end, the conclusion, the—
