Hello. Today, I'm going straight to the story. If I have time, I'll include the Reviewer Replies at the end. Well, Enjoy Chapter 11!


Chapter 11: Success!

"Beastboy, I know you're in there. Open up!" Raven yelled. For the past ten minutes, she had been trying to get him out of his room without any success. Raven sighed. "Beastboy, I just want to talk. And you know I'll just use my powers to get into your room. Push my patience and I'll overstep the boundaries of privacy."

"Fine." Beastboy mumbled from within. "Come on in to my hell."

Raven was faintly shocked to hear such words coming from Beastboy's mouth. She opened the door and gasped.

His room was clean and spotless. There weren't any piles of clothes covering the floor. The closet door opened, revealing uniforms neatly hanged. "Beastboy, what happened here?"

Beastboy was atop his bed, his face giving off a bored expression. "A little cleaning." he answered.

"Little?" Raven asked."Little? You've gotta be kidding me. This is a lot of cleaning."

"So what?" Beastboy answered defensively. "What's your point? Did you need anything?"

"What happened, Beastboy? You're not bouncing with happiness, and your toothy grin is gone."

"It's just-" Beastboy suddenly broke down. "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you."

Raven saw a few tears run down Beastboy's face. She asked, shocked, "How did you hurt me?"

"I - I kissed you."

Raven fought a mental battle as she blushed. She wanted to tell Beastboy what she thought, but that was against her nature. A voice in her mind said Go for it! "Uh- you see, Beastboy, ummm... I kinda, sorta, maybe liked it just a tinsy bit."

Beastboy's glum face brightened instantly. "Do you really mean that?"he asked, his eyes pleading for a yes.

Raven gulped. She wasn not ready for this kind of confession. She was spared of one when her T-communicator started beeping. "We are needed." Raven sighed mentally in relief. They headed to the common room.

"What's the trouble?" Beastboy asked.

Cyborg looked down, looking somewhat small and meek. "Well, nothing. You see- Beastboy, I'm ... uh... ow!" Jinx nudged him, showing that she was not impressed by his stuttering. Cyborg took and deep breath and spoke, "I'm really sorry, grass-stain. I shouldn't have forced you to kiss Raven- and I'm just really sorry."

Beastboy's jaw dropped while Raven raised an eyebrow. Cyborg. . . apologizing? And for a dare?

"Uh, you're ... forgiven."

There was a moment of silence, and suddenly the two burst out laughing. The other four titans looked on , confused but happy. When Cyborg and Beastboy had calmed down enough, Jinx asked, "Now what do we do?"

While they pondered over what to do, Raven felt a sharp pain in her mind. Stupid Trigon! Trying to take control again. She heard one of her emotions say He only needs a few seconds to get what he wants.

Before Raven could stop him, Trigon took control and forced her to say aloud, "Malchior. Malchior. Malchior. Dammit!" She clamped her hands over her mought, but she knew that it was too late.

Beastboy asked, worried, "Why did you say that dragon dude's name three times?"

Everyone tensed as they heard the roar of a dragon from upstairs. Raven explained in a whisper, "My father took control of me for only a few seconds, but that's all it took. Malchior's free."

They heard a grumble, somewhat similar to laughter. "Raven, Raven, Raven. Where are you? Come out and play, dearest. Now you will never escape me. Not ever again. Mwahaha..."

Robin was the first to recover from shock. "Titans. GO. To the roof!"

They rushed up the steps, wanting to be rid of this dragon for good. Raven heard Robin enter the roof first and also heard him emit a small gasp. She rushed up faster, dreading what she would see. When she finally reached the roof, her breath caught in her throat.

Malchior was flying over Jump City, emitting fire from his mouth, attempting to burn the whole city down.

"Titans, save the city. I'm calling the Titans East for back-up." Robin yelled, already reaching for his comm.

Starfire, holding Cyborg, flew off to begin the first attack against Malchior. He saw them out of the corner of his eyes. Before Starfire and Cyborg could react, Malchior swooped down, grabbed them in his claws, and threw them in the water. They fell into the water with a huge SPLASH before surfacing, unconscience.

Jinx yelled, "Cyborg!" At the same time Robin called out Starfire's name. Raven and Beastboy grimly nodded at eachother before beginning the second assault upon Malchior.

Beastboy morphed into the swift form of a hummingbird and shot off towards Malchior in secret. Raven acted as the diversion and started attacking Malchior.

"Azarath. Metrion. ZINTHOS!" She yelled at the top of her lungs.

Malchior saw her attack and dogded, missing it by only a few inches. Raven continued attacking him relentlessly, not giving him the chance to fight back. Thorougly irritated, Malchior roared in anger, which echoed to every dark corner of the city. That's, of course, when Beastboy decided to attack.

He disappeared inside Malchior's left ear and transformed into a big, fat... PORCUPINE(don't ask,... i was feeling random). Malchior roared out in pain.

"YOU INSOLENT, LITTLE BAST-" He was cut off when Raven, once again, attacked.

Beastboy came out from Malchior's other ear, a look of utter disgust on his face. "That was... revolting!" He grimaced at the scent of Malchior's earwax. "Next time, I'll make Robin or Cyborg do something crappy like that." He saw Raven retreat and flew towards her, making sure she was alright.

Raven saw him flying towards her. Her eye caught Malchior flying up in the air. "Beastboy, duck!" Beastboy, somewhat misinterpreting what she said, morphed into a duck and flew towards the ground. In a sense, that somewhat worked, though one of his tail feathers got burnt.

Upon reaching the ground, Beastboy changed back and grimaced. "Next time Raven," he yelled, "don't use the word duck. I take it lite-" He was cut of as another burst of flame attacked him from behind.

"BEASTBOY!" Raven yelled. She struggled to not let the tears free themselves from her eyes as she saw Beastboy's motionless body on the ground.

Malchior grinned madly. "What now, Raven? Four down, one to go. How are you going to defeat me now you're alone?"

Raven felt a rush of despair flow through her. What am I going to do? So far Malchior had achieved the ultimate success of freedom and revenge...
