Beastboy blessed his powers many times; no one would even see a small mouse crawling on the drainage pipe. He knew what he had to do; if he could just get behind Raven and cut the ropes holding her in place she would be free. Beastboy crawled even faster, pushed forward by his love for Raven and his determination to protect her. Suddenly a beautiful sound reached his sensitive ears.
'Why is she singing?' Beastboy thought to himself. 'I would think that she'd be trying to escape.' He crawled on, but came to a drop off. 'Oh great, I can't shimmy down this as a mouse.' Beastboy scratched behind his ears, looking very cute. He jumped off the pipe and transformed to a cat as he fell, touching down softly before transforming back into a mouse. 'Yes!' He crawled over to Raven; the demons around her had begun chanting in a language that he did not understand.
Raven's song began to falter slightly, she had seen something fall from the cline to the ground and disappear. She did not know that her friends were close by, just waiting to rescue her.
"Azerath Metrion Zenthos," the demons chanted, stealing her mantra, "Litum Panis Zenthos. Kilzioth Jadarath Oblivion, Oblivion." Their chant continued. Raven felt her powers rise and her voice strengthened, she sang with all her might, trying to find the right pitch to activate the failsafe in her hip, she was almost there. She was fighting her nature and her destiny, this would be her choice.
"Raven!" A voice yelled. The chanting cut off, so did Raven's song. Cyborg leapt to the ground and fired his cannon into one of the demons, he dodged. "Raven don't!" The rest of the Titans, Mykial, and Demeter came down. Raven's insides froze, Mykial had brainwashed them so that he could by time to get her father into the world. Raven began singing again, her voice all the clearer.
"Friend Raven," Starfire said, dodging a spell and firing star bolts from her hands, "Stop, we are going to help you." Ilgar turned back to Raven and created a shield around them.
"Your friends cannot save you Raven," he said, his voice soft and sweet. Raven looked away, tears coming to her eyes. Ilgar put his hand beneath her chin. "But you can help yourself, become the portal and fulfill your destiny." Raven twisted her head out of his grasp and began to sing again. Ilgar laughed. "Do you think that singing shall save you! Foolish child, I shall teach you the power of a demon." Ilgar began chanting again, it was demon vs. (half) demon with earth as the prize. Beastboy took his chance and charged Ilgar.
Beastboy took the demon to the ground; he pulled off his sash and tied it around the demon's head and throat, cutting off his ability to speak. Raven's singing had stopped. Beastboy and Ilgar were soon struggling and none of the others could help him. Beastboy slugged Ilgar in the face and cut his brow clean open, love for Raven powering his blows. Blood came off on Beastboy's knuckle and he quickly punched him again. The demon caught his hand and ripped the fabric from his mouth.
"Litium Panis…" Beastboy clapped his hand over Ilgar's mouth. The only way he could win is if the demon could not cast spells. The demon got his feet up and kicked Beastboy across the room. "Fool, do you honestly think that you can defeat me!" Beastboy spat out blood, he felt like he had a hole in his stomach. Ilgar walked over to where Beastboy lay, his boots clunking on the metal floor. Ilgar picked up a shard of metal. "So weak, so foolish." Beastboy looked up.
"You are the fool," he said, "To let your attention wander." A plasma blast took Ilgar in the back; Demeter fired her holy gun into as many places she could find. Ilgar cried out, wounded and began to chant. Mykial chanted too. Beastboy rose in a final effort and locked his arms around Ilgar's throat, cutting his chanting short. Mykial opened a dark portal and Beastboy heaved, throwing Ilgar bodily, with all his might into the portal.
It was not over. Ilgar grabbed Beastboy's shirt and began to pull him into the portal as well, Cyborg was there first and tugged on Beastboy, trying to save him and banish Ilgar at the same time. Starfire and Jinx ran on either side and pelted Ilgar with bolts and spells. Robin also grabbed Beastboy and pulled, but the demon was too strong, he began to pull everyone into the Portal. Robin and Cyborg yelled, exerting all their strength to no avail, they inched closer to the portal. Mykial's chanting faltered.
"Keep chanting," Robin yelled, "No matter what!"
"Azerath Metrion Zenthos!" Mykial brought his chanting to full force, a few more inches. Demeter ditched her gun and pulled something very small from around her neck. Starfire joined the two pulling Beastboy, she pulled with all her might and managed to keep them in this dimension, but she was also holding Ilgar here. Demeter looked up and said a quick prayer that her plan would work.
Demeter charged, the artifact in her hand. She yelled something in Latin and put the relic on Ilgar's wrist. Ilgar screamed in pain and grabbed at Demeter. Demeter continued in Latin and put her hand on Ilgar's forehead, more screams of pain echoed throughout the room. Ilgar finally let go and was sucked into the portal. It was over. Demeter's hands were smoking.
"Demeter," Mykial said, rushing to her side. Her legs gave out and she fell into Mykial's arms. She smiled, so did he. "Idiot." Demeter laughed.
"It worked." She smiled again, "I'm not the one who almost stopped chanting and left an inter-dimensional portal open for all to waltz through."
"What was that?" Cyborg asked, his arms wrapped around Jinx, who was very tired from the battle.
"A Holy Artifact," Demeter said. "It was a relic that has been handed down through the generations of my family from mother to daughter, our bloodlines trace back to the mother of Saint Agnes, that was one her bones I believe. Anyway, I said a prayer to her in Latin, I think it worked."
"I would say so," Robin said, he was holding Starfire very close, his hand protectively over her stomach. Beastboy stood up; he had been dazed from the fight and his recent face-first fall to the ground. He smiled, they had won, Raven was safe. He turned and the bottom of his stomach fell through the floor.
Raven was handing limp from her bindings. Her wrists were bent and her legs no longer supported her, her head was forward with her beautiful hair falling around it, veiling her countenance. Her shoulders were not moving rhythmically like they always did when she breathed, they were completely still.
"No!" Beastboy screamed. He ran to Raven and took a ceremonial knife, slashing at her bonds, pulling her violently down from the circle. "Raven, Raven!" The others hung back. "Raven, Raven wake up!" Cyborg walked over, Jinx's eyes were already brimming with tears. Beastboy looked at Cyborg, pain and hope mingled in the depths of his eyes. "Cyborg…" Cyborg put his fingers to the woman's throat; there was no jolt of life beneath his fingertips.
"We were over the time limit," he said, sorrow etched in his voice. Jinx sobbed and Starfire hid her face in Robin's shoulder. Cyborg placed his hand on Beastboy shoulder. "Beastboy, she's gone."
The End
Ha, ha, got you.
No, I'm not THAT evil.
Beastboy looked up at Cyborg, tears in his eyes. He held Raven's body closer, it was still warm. No, it was not true, he could not believe it.
"No!" Beastboy yelled. He began to sob, tears pouring freely down his face. He
turned down to Raven and buried his face in her hair. "No, no, Raven, no." He kept repeating that, like Raven recited her mantra. Grief pouring out of him. Mykial put his hand on Demeter's shoulder, she was silently crying. He kissed her gently and walked over to his sister. Unknown to Beastboy he put his hand on his shoulder and touched Raven with the other.
"Ofliet Santicus Dominum," Mykial said, "Kyre Janis Humous, Elieson Posthumous." The chant continued at a mumble as Beastboy tears fell onto Raven's dress, directly over her heart. Mykial finished his chant with a few words, still in the unknown language that he normally spoke in, and let his hands fall. Beastboy continued to sob, three more tears fell over Raven's heart.
Slowly her heart began to glow, an internal fire from within. Beastboy stopped sobbing, looking at the light coming from Raven. The song she was singing began to ring through the room, but reversed. Her lament had turned into a jubilee. Slowly Raven was raised from the floor, out of Beastboy's grasp. The glow became brighter, encompassing her body and blinding those on the ground. The light flashed and Raven's body was lowered to a few feet above the ground, hovering about shoulder level. Mykial nodded at Beastboy. Beastboy stepped forward and put his arms under Raven's body, the moment his hands made contact with her skin the light left her and her body fell into his arms. Beastboy's heart stopped, her chest was moving rhythmically up and down. She was breathing.
"Raven?" Beastboy asked, not daring to believe what he saw. She stirred and opened her eyes with a soft moan. "Raven?" The question was louder this time. Raven focused her eyes on his and smiled. Beastboy laughed, new tears spilling from his eyes. "Raven!" His was overjoyed; he laughed and spun, dancing like a maniac with her in his arms. Jinx, Demeter and Starfire were all crying and laughing too. Cyborg put his arm around Jinx and nuzzled her hair, more relieved then he had ever been in his life. Demeter was holding Mykial, weak from summoning his sister back from the grave. Starfire and Robin were holding each other in a tight hug. Raven was smiling too. Beastboy was happier then he had ever been in his life.
"I love you," Beastboy said, still holding Raven close. He kissed her soundly on the lips and she cradled his head between her hands.
"And I love you," Raven said. Words could never describe the feelings that were coursing through Beastboy's mind, no amount of celebrating would express his joy, no confession would ever be good enough to express his love for the dark bird in his arms. He could think of nothing to say, so he kissed her again and she kissed him back. Love triumphed yet again.
The Epilogues is next.
