A/N: Disclaimer I don't own the Teen Titans, Star Wars, or Justice League however I do own the characters that I created. Now I said that in my last note that I would start to post the reviews that you have been giving me so I will keep that promise.

Luhism: This is great story hurry up and write the next chapter.

Thank you for your complement

SickLad: steel toe boots? Nice. Update soon or I might not be able to read it! ACK!

Well I'm sure none of us want that to happen so I cranked this one out as fast as possible.

Envoy of the Beginning: Nice TT/kotor/J.Academy. Kinda reminds me of Kotot (knights of the old republic) when Richard left to find his saber crystal. No offense but a human and a twilek never exactly crossed my mind, I always thought human to human and twilek to twilek but it's a good thing Robin got laid with Raven and not yaegi. At least Raven is half human and way hotter who! Go Robin. Any way keep updating.

Thank you Envoy. I know that the twilek/human thing was a bit of a reach but Yaegashi is supposed to be really hot so there you go. And it's kind of funny that you mentioned that the whole thing with the saber crystal is like kotor because I have never played the game so yeah kind of funny. Any who thanks for reviewing and I will update as soon as possible

Now on with the show.

Chapter 9: Shattered beyond repair

Yaegashi's Room

" You mean he yelled at you?" Yaegashi asked.

" Not really yelled but he gave me the look that you see in someone who if you disturb them they will stop at nothing to make you go away." Fong answered. " So what do we do about his behavior Yaegi? I mean do we confront him about it or do we go straight to Master Skywalker and have him interfere?"

" I don't know. Knowing Richard he would know if we went behind his back to Master Skywalker for help so I think the best course of action is to confront him about it. That way he can't say that we haven't talked to him about it." Yaegashi pointed out. Fong nodded her head and the library.

Library

Richard and Raven were still going over where Vog'ue would be planning his ambush. They had one day left to make this work. " Ok I think we got this worked out," Richard said looking up from the building plans laid out in front of him, " Now I need to talk with Yaegashi to see if that little bastard it the one going to spring the trap. I shouldn't be very long." And then he left to find Yaegashi.

As both parties were walking through the hall they bumped into each other about half way from Yaegi's room and the library. " Oh good I was just looking for you Yaegi, oh and I see that you and Fong have been talking great," he said knowing what their conversation had been about, " but before we get into that I need to ask you something."

" Yeah and what is that?" Yaegashi asked placing her hands on her hips looking annoyed at his comment about her and Fong's conversation.

" Are we sure that Vog'ue is the one that is going to attack the Jedi?"

" Yes, our information said that he was the one attacking the Jedi in the past events. So it's likely to assume that he would been the one to attack."

" Good cause I know where his going to do it." He beamed.

Both girls were taken aback by this, " How can you be so sure were he's going to attack Richard?" Fong questioned.

" Because I got inside his head. I know how he thinks, and for him that is a very dangerous place for me to be." He smiled wickedly, " Now if you excuse me I need to talk to Master Skywalker about this." And as he started to walk away Fong stepped in front of him to stop him.

" We have some things to discuss first Richard." She said staring him in the eye.

Shrugging his shoulders he muttered, " Ok lets get this over with."

" Richard why have you been acting so different since you got back? It's like were talking to a different person than the one we knew through school. Now Yaegashi has told me that this started even before you came back, that you were acting like this on earth. So tell me what has she done to you?" Fong's last questioned sent Richard temper over the edge slightly and everyone in the hallway knew it when he started to answer.

" First off Fong, and I want to make this as clear as possible. Raven has noting to do with me acting like this, and if you tell anyone other wise I will make sure you regret it," but then Yaegashi cut him off.

" See Richard this is what we're talking about you never use to threaten anyone before, especially not us. So what are we to think when your personality changes so drastically?"

" You don't understand what I'm going through. You think that someone would be the same person after loosing their memory, making new ones, having the old ones returned? No there would be major changes especially if the two memory personalities were almost polar opposites. Now if you excuse me I need to talk to Master Skywalker." And then Richard marched off to Luke's room.

Back in the hallway the two girls just looked at one another before either of them spoke. " Do you think that he could be telling us the truth about why he's acting this way?" Fong asked looking at Yaegashi's expression.

" No he's hiding something from us I can feel it and I'm going to find out what it is if it's the last thing I do. But first I need a little chat with Raven." And stormed off for the library.

Walking into the library Yaegashi immediately found Raven sitting at one of the computers looking at something or other as she tapped Raven on the shoulder. Raven spun around in the chair to find Yaegashi starring daggers at her.

" If your looking for Richard he's not here, in fact he went looking for you." Raven said.

" I know we ran into him in the hall now tell me what you did to him witch."

Now this was the first time in a very long time that anyone has called her a witch. " What did you call me you blue bimbo?" she said very slowly keeping her temper in check.

" I called you a witch, you know it rhymes with bitch not that your not a bitch too. And I want to know what you did you Richard that turned him into what he is now."

" I didn't do anything to him, he got that way when you came onboard the Watch Tower so wouldn't the proper question be what did you do to him?"

Now Yaegashi's anger was almost at critical mass, " How dare you think that I would do something to him that would turn him into what he is now. I should beat you to a pulp right here for even thinking such a thing." As she balled her fists she took a swing at Raven who easily blocked it with her energy barrier. Yaegashi took a step back at this and wondered how she stopped her punch.

" Now would you please keep your temper under control? As I said before I didn't do anything to him and I'm insulted that you would think otherwise. From what Richard had told me about you Jedi is that you don't do anything without purpose. So why is it that you believe I am the cause of your troubles?"

" You took him away from me," Yaegashi yelled, " we were going to be together when you took him away from me!"

" I did no such thing! Need I remind you that he left me first and I had to deal with the thought of the man I loved being dead for eight years. And when he came back to me it was the happiest moment of my life. How can you say I took him away from you if I was with him first? Wouldn't it be more accurate if I said you took him away from me?" Raven said.

" No it wouldn't, I had eight glorious years with him." But Raven interrupted

" You had eight years with a man who didn't know his past." She corrected.

" It didn't matter to me, because I know he's feelings are real. That's all that matters to me."

Now the library only had a few people in it at the time, but now people were coming from the hall to see what the shouting was about. And they have been getting a good show so far. With the yelling and the punch it's a wonder why they didn't have popcorn and sodas like in a movie theater. Anyways back to the shouting match.

" You said it yourself that he didn't do anything other than kiss you. Now Richard and I have done much more than that." And almost if it was on cue someone yelled at the kids blocking the entrance to the library.

" Don't you people have classes to get to?" and the kids scattered like rabbits as Richard walked into the room. " Now which one of you would like to explain this little chat to me?"

" Well you see it was her fault," they both said, when Richard held up his hand to quiet them both down.

" Now lets try this again. Yaegashi what is the meaning of this 1st grade shouting match?"

" Well…" she started out, " you see I was just wondering what her reasons were for changingyoutothewayyouarenow." She said very fast. Richard just looked at her and asked.

" Mind slowing it down for the rest of us?"

" I was asking her what she did to change you to the way you are now." And then she cringed in preparation of the yelling she knew was coming.

" What did we talk about in the hall earlier?" he said calmly

" I know what you said but I didn't think that I could trust you if she put some sort of weird spell on you. Who knows what this witch can do to you."

Now Richard was really mad, he could take Yaegashi wondering about this but she had gone too far this time. " SHE IS NOT A WITCH YAEGASHI and it sounds like you're letting your jealousy take control of your common sense, now apologies to her for that rude comment."

As Yaegashi was apologizing to her she couldn't help but think ' that makes it me 2 the blue bimbo 0, god this is working out for me big time.' And she accepted the apology. Then Richard began to speak again.

" Now that we've got that settled, tomorrow we leave for Coruscant so we should all get a good nights sleep so that we are ready in the morning to head out."

When Richard and Raven got back to his room he closed the door and immediately turned to Raven and began yelling. " Why in the name of all things holy did you have to make the shouting match worse Rae? I mean what the hell were you thinking letting yourself get so far out of hand as to create a public display like that." Now by this time Raven was looking like a wounded child, she had tears in her eyes and her lower lip was trembling.

" Please Richard…I don't know what came over me…. I just couldn't take it when she called me a witch…the last time I was called that was back at Azarath when they were deciding what to do with me because of the prophecy…I…I just couldn't take it." She said through the tears running down her pale colored cheeks.

At seeing her like this Richard suddenly felt guilty for yelling at her, mostly because he new her pain almost as well as she does. Kneeling beside her, wrapping his arms around her he started to run his fingers gently through her lavender colored hair, " shhhh, look I'm sorry. I've been loosing my temper more than normal. I'm not sure why but I'm sure that I can keep myself under control but to do that I need your help not to go and pick a fight with Yaegashi again even if she starts it ok."

" Ok I'll try."

" No you do or do not there is not try." Richard just chuckled to himself, ' I got to use that stupid saying that Luke would always say to me.'

Raven was wondering what Richard was giggling about but she was happy to see a smile on his face. He didn't do that a lot lately so it was a nice break. As they went to sleep Raven was wondering what was going to happen tomorrow while Richard was contemplating how he was going to make Darth Vog'ue pay for what he did to the other Jedi.

The next morning went off without a hitch; they disguised Richard up as the student Jedi and went about their business while the others were watching and waiting for the shadow academy to make their move. After Richard and Kara finished their business and headed back to the ships the sith students jumped them at the exact spot Richard had predicted, also just as Richard and Kara had planned they split up as if it was going according to the sith's plan. Leaving Richard alone Vog'ue came out of the shadows with two other people. The two others attacked first and were stopped by Yaegashi and James who jumped them. Now Richard was facing down Vog'ue and he couldn't help but think how easy it was going to be, just looking at him he knew Vog'ue wasn't ready for him. He stood with no defense, it was all attack, and Richard just chuckled softly and said, "Mistake number two asshole," and with that he pulled the hood down revealing to Vog'ue who he was dealing with.

Vog'ue staggered back a little at this but regained his composure. " So the coward shows himself at last. I was wondering what had happened to you, not hearing about you for almost a year. What were you doing?" he said smiling as he activated his red light saber.

" Oh just regaining who I wants was, remembering a few tricks and I must say I have missed my little beat down sessions that I have given you." Richard said.

" Well let's see how well you do this time Grayson. I must warn you that I have gotten stronger since the last time. So if you want to back out I would completely understand." Vog'ue said as he struck with a downward slash, which Richard avoided easily. " What don't have the back bone to fight me, or are you just running scared."

" Do you really think that your chiding would get a response out of me? Hahaha you forget who you're dealing with or maybe you just don't get the fact that I know more about the darkness than you?" Richard said as he began to sink into the shadows and then disappeared from his opponent's senses completely.

Vog'ue's senses were trying to find Richard when he felt a blade wiz right past his left cheek, reaching up to it he tapped the wound and looked at he's blood caked fingers, fear suddenly struck the Sith warrior as he suddenly heard the familiar sound of a light saber being activated and then looked down with his eyes to see a silver blade just inches from his very throat. " Now why have you been attacking my students and just a warning if you don't give me a good answer my blade will make you feel like you had. Are we clear?" as Richard inched the blade closer to it's final destination.

" Okay, we were told to attack the Jedi Academy as our graduation ceremony. We had to attack one student for every one of us. The teachers didn't say that we all had to do it so the others looked to me to do the attacking. I didn't kill any of them I just beat them up. Please don't kill me."

Hearing him beg for his life was like music to Richard's ears. He could smell the fear and terror coming from Vog'ue and he drank it as if he was dying of thirst. Now standing up, over the kneeling form of Darth Vog'ue he brought his light saber above his head as if to cut Vog'ue's head off, " Now what made you think that you were going to live through this you worthless piece of shit" and he spat on him. Grinning like a kid in a candy store he started to bring the light saber down when he hear Yaegashi and James yell stop. Hesitating a moment but still continuing the stroke when Raven yelled.

" Stop Richard. Do you want this to turn out like it did with Slade?"

At the mention of Slade's name he stopped and looked at the ground. Time didn't mean anything right now and as he was in deep shock. ' I was going to kill him just like Slade. It's the same situation. I had him beat, he couldn't have done anything to stop me and I was going to do it anyway' while contemplating what he almost did the light saber deactivated and he fell to his knees, still in shock. As Yaegashi and James took care of Vog'ue Raven went over to see if Richard was alright, she shook him, waved her hand in front of his face, pinched him, nothing would break his trance. Looking into his eyes you couldn't see anything; they were hollow with now emotion. Richard for lack of a better term was an empty shell.

Time jump

I had been two weeks since the incident on Coruscant and there was no change in Richard's behavior. He was still the cold shell of a man; he didn't even eat since Coruscant they had to hook him up to a medical machine just to keep him alive.

Raven and Yaegashi were looking over him as he lay on the med lab bed. Yaegashi glanced over at Raven and muttered something that Raven couldn't make out, " What did you say?"

" I said this was all your fault." She spat.

" Oh really and how is this my fault?" Raven shot back.

" If you didn't say anything back on Coruscant Richard wouldn't be like this now. That's how it's your fault." Yaegi huffed and folded her arms.

" And if I hadn't said anything he would have killed that guy. Now if you don't have a problem with Richard becoming a killer that's not my problem, but I do so just back off sister."

Yaegashi looked baffled at what Raven had just said to her, " I would never want him to become anything like that." She said with disgust at Raven. " Now take that back."

" No, if anything you should be thanking me for what I did back there. I kept his humanity intact. Even as he is now I know for a fact that he wouldn't want to remember himself killing that Vog'ue guy."

At this time Luke came into the room. " Now I know that you two aren't fighting again. What do you think Richard would say about that," as both women settled back down Luke turned to Raven, " Now Richard had told me that you had some psychic abilities and that you and he share a mental link." At this all Raven could do was nod.

" Ha I knew you were controlling him some how." Yaegashi shouted like she just figured out who done it in a mystery novel. When Luke put his hand up to stop her from continuing.

" Now before I was interrupted he also told me that you couldn't use the link anymore because of his Jedi training. Is that true?" again Raven nodded, " Have you tried to reach him since the 'incident'?" this time she shook her head no, " well how about you give it a try."

Raven looking puzzled at the Jedi master nodded and began to reach into Richard's mind to see if she could find out what was wrong, even if she doubted that she could do it. " Azarath Metreion Zynthos…Azarath Metreion Zynthos (sorry if I spelled it wrong) …Azarath Metreion Zynthos," she chanted as her astro self was projected into Richard's mind. She didn't meet resistance and she soon found out why. Richard's mind was completely blank, as if someone had taken a large vacuum cleaner and sucked everything out. As she looked around in the pitch-blackness of his mind feeling disappointed with her when a faint light appeared to her right. Being the only lead she had Raven 'flew' towards the light. As she got closer she noticed that there was a person inside the glowing orb, the closer and closer she got the more clearly she could see who was inside it. Until she was right next to the orb and could see who was in it. Richard. His body looked defeated as he was pinned up in a cross style with his arms out to his side and his legs dangling down, his head was slumped over and his eyes were closed.

" Richard, RICHARD!" she screamed but got no response. She started to bang on the surface of the orb trying to get in but knew it was futile. However that did get a response out of the self-enclosed hero.

Lifting his head slightly and barley opening his eyes he looked at Raven as she pounded on the outside of his mental prison, " Raven…" he said weakly, " what are you doing here, leave me alone. I don't want to deal with you now. I don't want to deal with anything anymore. Just let me die in peace…please." But as he pleaded it just made Raven try harder to get to him.

" Richard what's wrong? What's going on? Why are you doing this?" she yelled as she pleaded entrance into his sanctuary. She just kept hammering away at the barrier.

Cracks started to appear in the sphere. Now as Raven kept pummeling the crack until it created a small hole. As she climbed through the hole and up to Richard she reached up to him and pulled down from the invisible cross that he was bonded to. As he crumpled into her as she wrapped her slender arms around his chest holding him like a fragile glass figurine.

Richard was at a point where the slights thing would cause him to shatter into a million pieces and he would never be the same after that. So Raven just sat there holding him for what seemed like hours as Richard started to come out of his drained state. " Rae…Raven? What are you doing here?"

" I came to get you to come back to us. Everyone is worried about you. You've been like this for like a week; now let us get back to the others now. Oh and Yaegashi and I have been fighting again, I really did try to control myself but she blamed me for your condition and I snapped. I'm sorry." As Raven bowed her head and waited for his response.

" I know what you're going through. If you remember I snapped pretty heavily recently. Now let's get going and we will get that settled when we come to it." And then they both came out of the meditation of sorts that they were in.

To the rest of them I had been only an hour and a half since Raven had gone into Richard's mind to pull him back. They had almost given up hope when they say Richard opening his eyes. Kong was the first one to notice him waking up, " Hey guys he's awake, Richards awake!"

As Richard looked around he saw Kong, James, Gereck, Zer, Yaegashi, Fong and Luke standing around him looking down. Each one had a worried look on their faces as he came out of his coma like state. The first words out of his mouth were, " Where the fuck am I? Why are you all looking at me like that? And were is Raven, we need to talk."

Luke was the first one to speak, " You're in the Med Lab Richard, and we were worried about you, as for Raven," Luke looked at her getting up from her position on the ground he looked back at Richard and said, " she's right here."

" Are you ok Richard?" Yaegashi asked with that sad puppy dog look.

" Yeah Yaegi. I'm fine. I just need some time to rest and to talk to Raven about some things." He said weakly.

As the rest of the group started to leave the room Yaegashi paused in the doorway watching Raven holding Richard's hand as they started to talk. Anger and Jealousy crept up her spine and all she could see is Raven possessing something SHE wanted and she couldn't stomach it anymore and ran from the room, past the others and to her room.

Fong ran after her but stopped outside her room when she heard her crying through the door and stopped herself from entering. Luke however didn't have such problems and he entered Yaegashi's room to talk with her. Looking down at Yaegashi crying on her bed, and as he sat down she looked up at him trying to straighten up her appearance.

" It's ok Yaegi I know you're going through a hard time," he paused, " But you need to understand what Richard is going through. So please be patient. I think he needs to deal with his past before he can move on." And saying that he left to contemplate what he had said.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

A/N: Ok now I know this one was a little shorter than the others but in my own defense school has started for me and I have other things on my mind and taking up my time which I would rather spend writing for all you wonderful people. So please be cool about this and R&R.
