Chapter9-
Duel with a dark dragonMalchior hovered lazily over the lava lake, touching down on the edge of the island that had held Raven's prison. Rorek, Drajo and Raven all watched as Beast boy and the two emotions exited through the portal which then faded from sight. Happy their friends were safely out of the way the three turned back to face their enemy, the dark dragon Malchior.
Raven powered up her dark energy, Rorek went into his fighting stance, his arms outstretched and Drajo opened his wings to their full size and locked onto his hated foe with his reptilian eyes.
"Malchior" he spat. The evil dragon smiled,
"Yes it's good to see you again my dear Drajo" he then looked at Raven, his blood red eyes bored into her amethyst ones.
"Sweet Raven, what's such a beautiful bird as yourself doing out of her cage? It matters not I have come to place you back where you belong." Her spiritual brother extended his right wing so it blocked Malchiors line of sight to her, the girl he'd tricked into loving him, the girl whose heart he'd broken like a cheap carnival toy.
"I knew something was wrong when she told me you'd taught her dark magic" he cried, the fell drake cackled
"Is it dark or is it simply misunderstood?" he asked mockingly. This served to only aggravate the young dragon further.
"I didn't believe that a thousand years ago," he said in unison with Rorek
"I didn't believe that two months ago," he continued alone
"AND I DON'T BELIEVE THAT NOW!" he roared, drawing the sword of Azarath and pointing the tip at the dark dragon.
"A thousand years ago but that would mean… no that's impossible he can't be…." He didn't get a chance to finish as Drajo leaped into the air, ignoring Roreks pleas not to fight Malchior on his own, flying straight at the dark dragon and unleashing a torrent of fire. Malchior took off to dodge the blast and the two drakes circled each other in the sky above, every few seconds one would charge the other and send a fireball at his opponent, Drajo managing to duck and weave his way out of the paths of Malchiors attacks and the dark drake either flew out of the way, surprisingly fast for a creature bigger than a T-rex or sent his own wave of fire which cancelled out the smaller attacks of his opponent.
After the aerial duel had gone on for a few minutes a chance shot from Malchior caught Drajo unawares and Arella's champion was unable to fly out of the way of the massive torrent of flames coming at him, he raised his head back and sent a massive blast of ice at the flames, the fire of Malchior hit the icy blast of the young dragon and a massive cloud of steam appeared a few feet in front of Drajo as the two dragons attacks cancelled each other out.
From his side of the steam bank Drajo stared intently into it, awaiting his foes next move. A dark claw came through the steam, catching the dragon in an iron grip, the claw's owner raised it up and threw the dragon earthward and he plummeted through the air like a comet, smashing into the island with the force of a train wreck.
"DRAJO!" Raven screamed and she flew to his side, landing next to the fallen dragon. Rorek also rushed to the side of his former incarnation, Drajo came to and quickly rose to his feet.
"What are we going to have to do to stop him?" he asked his former incarnation. Rorek looked uncertain.
"I have no idea, he's even stronger then the last time I fought him a thousand years ago".
"Well I suggest you think of something quick because he's coming right at us" Drajo yelled as the dark dragon swooped in low, he ran to Raven, sure she was his target but Malchior swept him up before he got to her, luckily Rorek was able to merge so he was carried off with Drajo.
Content with his victim he sent another torrent of flames, this time at Raven. The gothic Titan raised a shield of black energy and the flames cascaded off it like waves breaking on a rock, she was spared cremation but the flames formed a wall of fire so she could not reach her brother as Malchior took him high above the island in the lava lake. Holding the young dragon with an iron grip he leaned in close, so close Drajo could see his own reflection in the dark drakes blood red eyes, doorways to his pitch-black mockery of a soul.
"My dear Drajo, why must we fight? We are both fellow dragons, both brothers, the last of our kind. Together we could rule this world, side by side and make the humans take their rightful place as our servants and slaves." Drajo stopped struggling and Malchior released him, confident he'd made an ally out of a hated enemy.
"So brother dragon will you join me?" Raven looked mortified while Rorek just smiled and powered up a spell.
"Nahhh!" Drajo said and blasted Malchior in the face with a bolt of white energy from the sword. Malchior clutched his face with his claws and roared with pain, Drajo flew back to a safe distance form the dark dragon. Once more Malchior looked at Drajo, the dragon's eyes now glowed blue instead of their normal vibrant yellow and like Raven he could see Drajo's other half, the ghostlike figure was revealed to him.
"So Rorek you've finally showed your face again, it's been a thousand years sine we fought last and I am far stronger this time, you won't defeat me again Rorek" the wizard chuckled
"The last time I fought you Malchior I was alone, now I have Raven and her brother to back me up you won't defeat me" Machior laughed evilly and narrowed his red eyes.
"Really?" the dark dragon began to mutter a series of archaic words under his breath the fire in his mouth turned from orange to acidic green. He raised his head back and sent the green flames out of his mouth in a torrent, aimed straight at Rorek. The wizard and his dragon counterpart would have been caught in the magical fire if a barrier of black energy hadn't appeared in front of them and took the full force of the magical assault, Drajo turned to look at Raven who was panting from the strain of keeping the barrier up, cracks started to appear.
"MOVE! I can't hold it forever" the dragon leapt into the air just as the barrier collapsed and the green flames flowed forth below him and out into the lava lake. The trio looked at Malchior, he was chanting again, getting ready for another magical assault.
"There must be someway for us to stop him," Drajo said, Rorek shrugged
"I don't know, a thousand years ago I only locked him in a book, we need to destroy him and I don't know if that can be done" Drajo looked to Raven
"Sister don't you know of someway to stop him?" Raven looked at her brother with an uncertain look.
"I'm not sure I was able to beat Trigon by merging with all my emotions but…"
"But what, can't you do it again?"
"I don't know, I needed all of my other emotions last time and some have been destroyed, I may not be able to do it" Drajo looked at the sword of Azarath.
"All you need is hope" he said to her, she smiled at his words and flew a few feet away and closed her eyes, focusing on all of her emotions.
Back at the council table the Titans suddenly found themselves alone as all of the emotions vanished.
"Err dose anyone know what just happened?" Robin asked his team
"Look Cy she's doing it again" Beast boy called to Cyborg, they all looked into the viewing portal and saw all the remaining emotions had appeared at the battle with Malchior, forming a circle around Raven, as one they all rose into the air and began to circle around Raven, slowly at first then gaining speed after a few seconds, a white glow began to appear between the emotions, they soon disappeared, indistinguishable from the white glow they created.
The white glow became a blinding white light and when it faded Raven had grown to twenty feet tall, dressed in a white cloak and leotard.
"You're going down Malchior" she said, her voice different from how it normally was (how it was in 'Nevermore' when she turned into white Raven). The dark dragon laughed.
"Sweet Raven, you may have changed your colours but that won't save you from me, you are as weak as ever" Raven shot a bolt of black energy at Malchior and the dark dragon blocked it with his wing, taking damage.
"Still think I'm weak?" she asked him, Malchior was trembling with rage.
"I'M THE STRONGER ONE RAVEN, THIS ENDS HERE!" he roared and sent a torrent of flames at the half demon, now the same size as the dragon that had broken her heart.
She raised her hands and sent a burst of black energy at Malchior, the drgaons fire clashed with the half demons energy in much the same way that she'd fought Trigon. Malchior began to make a series of complex signs with his front claws and the orange fire turned to an acidic green, forcing Raven's energy back, she gritted her teeth and began panting from the effort of holding the magical fire back. Drajo turned to Rorek.
"Isn't there some way we can help her?" the ghostly wizard shook his head.
"No, I cannot think of anyway I can help her"
"THEN THINK OF ONE AND BE QUICK ABOUT IT!" he yelled at his past incarnation.
"I don't know there might be a way but…"
"But what, Raven needs help and I'm the only one who can help her"
"It's very dangerous, especially if you don't know magic, I do know one spell that could give your sister the power she needs to finish Malchior once and for all but I'd need to channel it through you and it could be fatal"
"I don't care about he risks, if she loses it won't matter what happens to me, my safety isn't worth more than the lives of everyone on this planet" Rorek smiled beneath the scarf that covered the lower half of his face .
"I can see why you are my new incarnation." He said as Drajo flew up to hover next to Raven as she tried desperately to push back Malchior's magical inferno. He swung the sword of Azarath in a erratic arc as Rorek chanted his spell.
"Allgeron, enlenthranel, phosolem lieris morr, LIERIS MORR, LIERIS MORR, ANAKATA LIERRIS MORR!" the sword's blade began to glow bright white as the magical energies coursed through it, Drajo felt an intense pain as a bolt of energy shot off from the glowing blade and struck him in his left side, he could feel it rip into him, causing a deep wound, he carried on as best he could, ignoring his injury as he continued to swing his sword, slowly the white energy began to build up on the sword until it was literally dripping with magic. In one final motion he raised the sword above his head and slashed at Malchior, the white energy shot off the sword and combined with Ravens black energy, twirling around it like a vine, forming a bolt of pure magical power, as the white and black energy combined a black Raven and a white dragon, the soulselves of the spiritual siblings appeared and moved into the stream of energy, it formed into a new soulself, a massive grey phoenix which raced towards Malchior, bursting through his magical fire like it was a dry spark, not a magical inferno.
"The world is not black and white but only shades of grey" Raven, Rorek and Drajo all said together as the grey phoenix slammed into Malchior and t e dark dragon vanished in a burst of grey light.
"NO I WILL NOT BE DEFEATED, I SIMPLY WILL NOT!" the dark drake roared, in the midst of the grey light a dark shadow appeared, vaguely resembling the dragon with two glowing red eyes. Raven put a hand to her head.
"He's right, his darkness is too powerful, I can't contain it" Drajo slashed with the sword of Azarath once more I unison with Rorek chanting a spell and a white light shot out toward the shadow, parting it right down the middle.
"Then let me help you sister, let me bear the darkness with you" the two halves of the shadow were drawn toward Raven and Drajo, one half going into each of their charkas. Blackness swallowed up Raven, Drajo and the other Titans as the battle for Raven was won.
Back in the infirmary the mirror was on the floor and began to shake. Suddenly a beam of red light shot out of it and dumped Robin, Starfire, Cyborg, Beastboy and Drajo out on the infirmary floor. They all rose shakily to their feet.
"Did it work?" Robin wondered out loud, a murmur from the bed answered his question as Raven began to stir from her coma.
"Does that answer your question dude?" Beast boy said as he high-fived Cyborg.
Drajo stood there, holding the sword of Azarath in his talon. Raven looked at her brother.
"Drajo?"
"Yes sister it's me, sleep well?" she laughed.
"Dude, that's so unfair" Beast boy moaned, crestfallen that someone had made Raven laugh before him. Everyone, including the normally icy Raven erupted into laughter at Beast boy's words.
Drajo let out a painful gasp and went down onto one knee, cutting the laughter short, only him grabbing the side of Ravens bed prevented him from falling to the floor, he dropped the sword of Azarath, it fell to the floor with a clatter and he put a hand to his side where he'd been hurt earlier. He brought it away bloody, looking down Drajo saw his blood was flowing freely from his earlier wound, creating a small puddle of the red liquid of life on the floor, his strength gave out and he let go of the side of the bed, dropping onto his knees and forearms, he could hear yells of
"What's wrong man?"
"Look at all the blood"
"Get him on that bed right now and get some blood, if we don't do something right now he'll die" the Titans cries seemed distant, even though they were only a few feet away. Ravens tear streaked face was the last thing Drajo saw before slipping into blackness.
