Link the Titan Part Three:

Author's Note

I apologize for any spelling mistakes, or if this looks crappy. I'm using a computer at school, and all it has is wordpad and i'm not very used to it.

The Titans returned to the tower after stopping a bank robbery.

"I told you I had them" said Link angrily.

"You obviously need more training in your skills" retorted Raven cockily.

Link had tried to freeze one of the robbers and just as he had fired an ice arrow Raven flung them out of the way. The arrow had hit Cyborg and frozen him solid. Link unthawed him immediately with a fire arrow, but he was very angry at Raven.

"Listen, it's alright. I'm fine" said Cyborg trying to diffuse the argument. "It was a mistake. It could happen to anybody."

"It wouldn't happen if someone wasn't trying to get rid of me." said Link coldly, glaring at Raven.

"You got something to say to me?" said Raven getting angry. She could see cockiness in him similar to Terra, and she didn't want to go through that again.

"Yes I do" shouted Link finally reaching his breaking point. "I have faced evil many times before! I have saved the world from the brink of destruction and you don't think I can handle a few bank robbers?"

Raven's face had gone blank at the remark of the the destruction of the world. The Titans sensed what was coming, but they didn't know what to do.

"What do you know about the end of the world?" Raven said in a creepily monotone voice.

"I have fought destruction and pure evil." shouted Link "I have seen spirits so dark and evil that most men would run away, and you don't seem to understand that!"

"I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE END OF THE WORLD?" Shouted Raven finally losing it, "I DON'T UNDERSTAND DARKNESS?"

A large black aura was building around Raven, and the other Titans couldn't stay on the sidelines any longer.

"Raven, stop!" cried Starfire.

"Control your emotions" yelled Robin.

But their efforts fell on deaf ears. The aura was growing bigger, and Robin had to stop it. He ran to Raven to try and snap her out of her rage, but she was too angry. She sensed his movement and shot a large black hand towards Robin and the other Titans, pinning them up against a wall.

With the distraction out of the way Raven turned her attention back to Link who was beginning to get worried.

"Run Link!" Beastboy shouted, but Link didn't move.

"You want dark?" shouted Raven "You want to see evil? Well I'll show you."

With that she seemed to grow taller and her cloak was blown behind her. A large darkness began sucking Link in. The Titans shouted at Raven to stop but she was too far gone. They saw a strange puff of smoke surround Link before he was sucked into the darkness.

Even with Link gone the darkness beneath Raven's cloak continuted to grow. It was no longer a matter of Link's saftey, but all of the Titans, and possibly the city's safety as well.

Starfire suddenly shot two beams of energy from her eyes at the energy hand holding them against the wall. It broke the contact between them and Raven and they fell to the ground instantly.

Starfire wasted no time in flying quickly to Raven and began shaking her.

"We are your friends!" she shouted "Oh please do not do this."

The contact with her friend snapped Raven back to reality. She looked around and saw what she was doing. Instantly all the darkness that had been filling up the room began to retreat back. As it moved back the Titans saw the form of Link emerge. His tunic was black now, but he seemed alright.

When she had collected her thoughts Raven turned to the rest of the Titans, with her back to Link.

"Sorry." she said quickly before turning and walking out of the room.

When the door slammed shut the Titans all rushed to Link.

"Dude! What happened!" shouted Beast Boy "The last guy she did that to is still in an insane asylum. He went crazy"

"And why did your tunic turn black" asked Robin knowing that Link had a seemingly endless supply of tricks up his sleeve.

Link took a deep breath and began to explain.

"In my land, at one time I had to fight a shadow version of myself. He was a hard enemy and it took a long time to defeat him. When I did eventually defeat him he dissappeared, leaving behind this dark tunic. I have since found out that when wearing this tunic I am somewhat protected from the darkness that can reside in one's soul."

"Wow" said Cyborg "So what happened?"

"Well," began Link "When I was sucked into Ravens "blackness" I should have been assulted by all the darkest memories I had. But instead I was able to see some of Raven's darkest moments."

"So you found out..." said Robin quietly.

"About her supposed destruction of the world? Yes I know. Which is why I must ask you not to be too angry with her. She doesn't trust me completely yet, and until then I'll have to simply refrain from saying things like "evil" or "destruction of the world". It'll be alright."

"You sure you're alright?" ask Cyborg.

"Yes, I'm fine. But I think i'll head to sleep now. Tonight has been a long day." said Link sleepily.

"We should all head to bed" agreed Robin, only now realizing how late it had gotten. "You can sleep on the couch again Link. Until we get you a guest room at least. What you did was an accident, but we can't trust you just yet. I'm sure you understand."

"Of course." replied Link "Goodnight"

"Goodnight" the others replied.

Link watched them as they walked out of the room and suddenly fell to his knees. After resting on the ground for a few minutes he crawled over to the couch and rested his back against it. He instantly fell into a disturbed sleep filled with all the dark images he had just witnessed.

Weapon Guide

Black Tunic-This was never an item in Ocarina of Time, or Majora's Mask. It was a costume that Link had in Super Smash Bros. Melee. I just liked it, so I thought I'd throw it into the story. On a side note, Link did face a shadow version of himself in Ocarina of Time, in the Water Temple.

End Author's Notes

Well what do you think? I wanted Link and Raven to have a confrontation of sorts and there it is. I attempted to make it seem as if the blame should have been spread evenly between the two. Was I successful? Don't worry, next chapter the story will pick up again. I promise. I just really wanted to write a confrontation like this. Remember, any and all criticism is welcome as long as it's criticism and not angry ranting because you don't like my story. (Also, if I am wrong in some of my terminology, or some of my references, just let me know and I'll try and fix it in the next chapter)

Remeber ya enjoyed it!
