-Sorry for the long wait. Well, it isn't that long but, given that when I first signed up, I was updating nearly every week (and even less), the fact that it took me this long since my last posting (Evangelion fanfic), it isn't at the pace that I normally updated during the school year. It's been a busy a summer.
-Which yes, the irony isn't lost on me. I had more time to write during the school year then I do on my summer vacation. Life's funny that way.
-Now, as for Silent Hill vs. Resident Evil, to be completely honest, I prefer Resident Evil over Silent Hill. For one thing, Resident Evil had a better monsters and better fighting system. That and the story of Resident Evil...is more understandable then Silent Hill. That being said however, in terms of horror games, I prefer Silent Hill since atmospheric wise, it is a lot more spooky and scary then any of the Resident Evils (though Resident Evil: Rebirth seems to have remedied some of that atmospheric feel. This however is only speculation on my part given that I have yet to play Rebirth [the penalty of not having a Gamecube]).
-As for the face on the bathroom, just a little tease. Whether it's a watermark, or a ghost, doesn't matter. It's just to give the impression that even in a 'safe' area, it isn't that entirely safe.
-As for the lack of gore and no Raven...well, given that the 'normal' Silent Hill was meant to be...less gory, I didn't want it to be all that gory. That and again, I didn't want to drag the story in the previous chapter. As for no Raven, I did say she would be absent for a while in this story. However, I will remedy this in this chapter.
-Now, since that's pretty much all I wanted to say at this point, on with the story!

Beast Boy starts to shake. "It's just like what happened to Raven. Except..." Beast Boy panics. "NOW EVERYONE ELSE IS GONE!" Beast Boy starts feeling the wall, pulling everything in sight, candleholders, pictures, anything in the sparsely furnished room in the veiled hope that what happened was they fell down some trap door. After Beast Boy basically wrecked the room, he started to step back out of the room. "Not good, not good, NOT GOOD!"
Crrrrreeeeeaaaaak.
Beast Boy turns around. 'What was that?' It sounded like the wood creaking somewhere behind him. He sweats as he looks behind him in the dark room. He swallows hard as he takes out his mini-flashlight that Robin gave him in the grocery store yesterday (or what he assumed was yesterday) and started to scan the room. Though the darkened room, with the only light coming from his flashlight, he sees nothing out of the ordinary. Nothing out of the ordinary that is, except a skull on one of the shelves. "Aggggghhh." Beast Boy looks away for a moment, his eyes closed, before he slowly got up the courage to see what that skull is. With his hands shaking, he brought the light back up to the skull. Turns out, it was just a strange candleholder. Beast Boy wipes some sweat off his brawl. "Phew. It wasn't a monster. After all, if it was a monster, I would've heard the static from..." Beast Boy's eyes widen as he realizes, that his radio isn't on. Beast Boy gulps as he clicks the radio to life. A soft static is heard running through it. Beast Boy begins to shake in fear again.
Alternate Darkness Falls Store
"Okay, now that is just plain freaky." Cyborg looks at the alter. The blinding light dissipates. Replaced by a regular candlelight that dimly illuminates the room.
Starfire looks around. She sees that the entrance that they just went through is now just a normal wall. As she looks at the members currently in the room, realization hits her. "Oh no! Beast Boy isn't here!"
Cyborg and Robin eyes widen and both frantically search the room.
Robin bangs the wall that used to be the entrance to this room. "Beast Boy? Can you hear me? Beast Boy!"
Cyborg looks at the room again. He notices a door where that shouldn't be there. He opens the door and peaks inside the hallway. He notices the walls are covered in blood. His eyes widen. "Oh no! We're in the other world!"
Robin stops what he is doing. "You don't mean...then that means..."
Starfire looks back at the wall with a sadden face. "Beast Boy."
Darkness Falls Store
Beast Boy starts to shake in the darkness. 'Monsters. There are monsters here!' He looks around. "Where can I go, where can I go?' He then notices the previously bricked up doorway. It isn't bricked up anymore. He looks at the door. "I guess this means you want me to go through right? Hehehe." He receives no answer. Beast Boy slowly brings his shaking hand to the handle. "Please don't let there be any monsters ready to pounce. Please don't..." Beast Boy grabs the handle, quickly turning it, and swings the door wide-open, shutting his eyes, and waits for whatever is on the other side to strike.
Nothing happens. Beast Boy opens one eye and scans the room. Due to the smaller windows that the store employs, the store itself is dark as well. However, the light from the windows still helps illuminate the room better then the storeroom that virtually has no windows. Beast Boy looks around. 'Still no monsters. Phew.' He slowly takes a step into the store. The static coming from his pocket radio gets a little louder. 'Okay, so there are monsters here.' Beast Boy gulps and starts to sweat. 'Funny guy goes first, funny guy goes first...'

Cyborg slams his fist into the wall. "Common!" The wall shows no sign of damage.
"Stop Cyborg!" Robin shakes his head. "Even if you were able to bring down this wall, it probably will not do us any good. We are in the other world remember? Beast Boy won't be there."
"Geeehhhhh..." Cyborg slams his fist again at the wall. "Aggggggggggh!" Cyborg turns around and sinks to the floor. "You're right. But...I still don't like it!" Cyborg bashes the wall again.
Robin saddens. "I know. But right now...he is on his own." Robin turns serious for a moment. "And the only way to get back to the other world is to advance. The faster we get through this, the faster we can't get to Beast Boy. I just hope..." Robin again saddens. "He can survive long enough for us to get there."
Starfire flies next to Robin and puts a hand on his shoulder. "I believe our friend can survive. Yes, he will survive this horrible place."
Robin pats Starfire's hand. "Thank you Starfire." He looks around the room. "No time to waste, Raven and Beast Boy need us. Lets look for clues."
Cyborg looks at the alter. Candles, an alter with some blood on it, and a black and white picture above it. "Not must here to really go on. I guess we should be moving."
Starfire looks at the picture. "Wait. Isn't that..."
Cyborg looks back at the picture. The candles are not enough to see what the picture shows. He turns on his mini-flashlight and illuminates the picture with it. Cyborg sees a woman standing next to a man, holding two children. Upon closer inspection, the woman in the picture starts to look awfully familiar.
Robin looks at the picture. The woman seems to be wearing a white sundress, sandals, and a necklace. Though he can't tell what color her hair is in the black and white picture, he assumes it is a fairly light color. Dark blond, maybe even a red. Robin's eyes widen. "That's Jessica!"
Starfire looks at the picture. "Yes, it's our new friend Jessica! But why is her picture here in this dark and evil place?"
Cyborg looks at the other figures in the picture. The man appears to be wearing a dark coat over a white shirt. He is wearing an old style hat. "The dude in this picture is probably her late husband."
Starfire blinks in confusing. "I thought Jessica's husband is dead?"
Cyborg could only slap himself. "Um...Starfire, when I said that he is her late husband, that's the same as saying that he is dead."
Starfire is still confused. "Late and dead are the same? But we were late a few times, and we are not dead."
"Star, I was trying to be...I'll explain it to you later. Right now...we have to continue." Cyborg continues to look at the picture for more clues. The two children are wearing suspenders. "And those two must be the children that she is looking for." Though it's pretty odd Cyborg thinks. 'Who the heck wears suspenders anymore?' He looks at the expression on the faces in the picture. "Also, none of them are smiling."
Robin frowns. "I hate to say this, but I think Jessica is connected to this town in more ways then we suspected." 'But what?' Robin looks at the picture again. 'I don't think Jessica herself is the blame. But...'
After searching the room a bit, it is determined that nothing more or nothing useful is in the room. Cyborg, Robin, and Starfire all head towards the door that await the horrors that is on the other side.
Darkness Falls Store
Beast Boy looks around the store. No monsters seem to be apparent despite the static coming from his radio. He takes one step forwards. With each step, he slowly turns around scanning the entire store. He turns into a dog and sniffs the air. He turns back into his human form seeing that the only thing he could smell, is the overwhelming smell of candles. "Funny guy goes first, funny guy goes first, funny guy..." Beast Boy makes it around the counter.
PING.
"Agggggggggghhhhh." Beast Boy falls to the floor behind him. He stares at the cash register. The cash register's drawer is wide open. Beast Boy slowly gets up. He stares at the cash register. Inside is a shiny pendent. "Guess this is a clue huh?" Beast Boy takes the pendent. The pendent is shaped like a flower. Beast Boy pockets the pendent, and looks up. Beast Boy freaks.
The words 'Nevermore' are written in blood on the wall in front of him.
Beast Boy starts to slowly backup. He runs to the door. The static from his radio starts to get louder. He stops before opening the door. "Um, you don't really want me to leave do you?"
A loud screech is heard on the wall behind him. Beast Boy turns around. A bloody pool grows on the wall. Then a face starts to emerge from the bloody pool. Then a bloody hand emerges. Soon, the upper torso of the ghost emerges. Another bloody pool appears next to the ghost. Then another.
Beast Boy is paralyzed in fear. Then he feels something wet dripping on him. He looks at the ground. Some red substance is dripping on him. Beast Boy slowly looks up. He releases a scream so loud, it would've even woken up the dead.
If the dead weren't already awake that is.
Above Beast Boy, the ghost, with his decayed face and decayed and very bloody arms grab at Beast Boy. "Raaaaaaaaaaa."
Beast Boy spins around, and frantically grabs the door handle. The door handle easily turns. He swings the door wide open. He rushes out into the still foggy streets of Silent Hill. Beast Boy breaks down and cries.
Alternate Darkness Falls Store
Robin blinks as he looks down the hallway. The hallway seems to be pulsing with life. He gulps. "As long as we stay away from the walls, we should be fine."
The group slowly walks down the bloodied path. The pulsating walls, the sound of movement, gurgling, and low moans are heard as the Titans make their way down the hallway. They make their way to the end of the hallway. This door is quite unusual. Instead of a standard door with knobs, this one seems to be a heavy-duty medieval door that drops from the top. The door is hooked up to chains. To the side of the door, a wheel of some sort, hooked up to the chains, must be how the door can be opened.
Robin looks at the wheel. There are handles on it that they could grab on to. "Easy enough I guess."
-Meanwhile, on the other side of the door...
"You have the power to find her." A woman in the shadows speaks. To her left and to her right appear to be a group of men, all also in the shadows.
A girl, wearing a cloak, is chained to a wheelchair. The girl looks up. "I will not help you!"
"Oh but you will. It is in your blood...Raven." The woman in the shadows takes a step forward a little, revealing her to be the blond woman from the picture that Robin found.
Raven looks up. "No. I will not help you destroy the world Claudia!"
A man, somewhere in the room, speaks up. "Oh, but you will. You cannot deny past. And most of all, you cannot deny...your family."
Raven's eyes go black. Her powers engulf the chains that are holding her down. "I don't care about my family!" The chains that hold her break from her power.
A number of men in the shadows, step forward. The men turn out to be monsters. They all reach out to grab Raven.
"Azerath, Metrion, Zinthos!" Raven, with her powers, picks up a number of nearby spikes, and hurls them through the monsters. The spikes impale the monsters one by one, bringing most of them down. One of the monsters in front of her gets up. Her powers grab the spikes the monster, one in its head, another in its chest, and swings them in different directions. With the strength of her powers, the bones of the monster crack as the limbs of the monster lose their natural form. At least, as far as natural as it could be given that, it is a monster.
The man who is still in the shadows starts backing away. "You can't deny destiny Raven. And you can't deny your past." The man disappears. Claudia has since disappeared during Raven's battle with the monsters.
"Deny destiny huh? Why don't you stay and fight for this destiny then coward!" Raven's eyes continue to glow. A monster gets up behind her. Without turning back, she uses her powers by picking up a pipe and slamming it at the monster, decapitating its head, spraying blood everywhere. Raven starts running towards where the man headed.
-A few minutes back, on the other side of the door...
Robin and Cyborg are trying to turn the wheel. While they are making some progress, it is taking a while.
Robin starts to hear to some mumbling on the other side of the door. "Wait!" Robin holds his hand to Cyborg.
Cyborg stops. "What could be going on in there?" He whispers to Robin.
On the other side of the door, they hear a very familiar phrase slightly muted due to the heavy door in front of them. "Azerath, Metrion, Zinthos!"
Cyborg, Starfire, and Robin all look at each other. "RAVEN!" They scream in unison.
Robin bangs at the door. "Raven? Raven! Do you hear us? We're here to help you!" Robin turns to Cyborg. "Common! Get this door open!"
Robin and Cyborg start turning the wheel as fast as they can. The door slowly begins to lift with all their strength. But, after a few seconds, the door slammed down again.
Robin slams his hand on the door. "Again!"
Robin and Cyborg, start doing again. The door started to rise again, but nearly reaching their limit, the door threatened to slam down again. Starfire flies behind them and offers her help. With the three of them, the door started to rise again. Once the door is open, the three rushed into the room before the door slammed down again.
"Raven!" They all scream in excitement. Their somewhat happy expression however, faded when they see that Raven is not in the room.
Instead, they see an overturned wheelchair. One of its wheels is still spinning on the as if it was only turned over just recently. Around them, they all see impaled monsters. Some of the monsters are even missing many limbs, arms, and pieces of their heads. Their missing limbs it turns out are just a few feet away from them. The room is covered with blood from the monsters.
Starfire saddens. "We missed our friend."
Squeaking. Robin looks up. 'Is that a door? It looks recently opened!' "Common! We can still catch her!"
Streets of Silent Hill
Beast Boy slowly gets up. He wipes the tears from his eyes. "I'm...still alive. Yeah, I'm still alive." He looks back at the store behind him that he just left. 'None of the ghost are following me. That...that's a good thing.' He looks at his radio and notices the static isn't there. 'Phew. At least there isn't any monsters in the general area. Beast Boy looks at his surroundings. The building in front of him seems to be blocked off. The road to his left is blocked. To his right, the road is all clear. 'Guess there is only one way to go.' Beast Boy changes into a cheetah and starts to run in that direction. He stops.
The area starts to darken. 'What? Night already?' The area starts to sink into darkness. The unlit buildings are now completely dark. The courage that Beast Boy recently built up disappeared. "This is not good."
Bam!
Beast Boy turns into a mouse and hides behind a few bottles. Hundreds of birds, at least, what look like birds, flutter off from the building behind him. He shakes in fear as he watches them disappear in the darkness.
Alternate Streets of Silent Hill
Cyborg, Robin, and Starfire enter the streets. The streets however, are a little different then the normal Silent Hill. Instead of cement, the roads are grate panels. Some panels are missing which create holes in the road...holes that drop down to unknown depths. Area is dark, and rainy. The buildings look normal on first glance. Though these buildings are all decayed. On one side of the road, the panels cease with darkness residing in its place. The decayed building's door is wide open.
"That's must be where she went. Titans! Go!" Robin runs to the door. Cyborg, and Starfire follow.
BAM.
The panel in front of Robin is punched off as a huge tentacle grabs Robin. Robin frantically kicks the tentacle with his free foot, causing a nice welt on the tentacle. But it continues to hold Robin.
"Oh no you don't!" Cyborg blasts the tentacle with his Sonic Cannon.
A slight roar is heard, then the tentacle sinks back into the road.
Cyborg steps back a bit.
BAM!
The panel behind Cyborg explodes up causing Cyborg to fall forward. The tentacle grabs Cyborg's leg. He grabs the panels with his fingers trying desperately not to be sucked in to the darkness under him.
A volley of starbolts blasts the tentacle.
The monster somewhere under the metal panels screeches in pain.
Starfire dives to where the tentacle is and kicks it. "Let go of my friends!" The strength of Starfire's kick severs the tentacle from the monster. Red liquid splatters across the roadway.
The monster under the road seems to sink under.
Robin looks at the road. 'It will be back.' "We have no more time to waste! We have to get Raven!" Robin runs into the building, stops, and waits for the others to arrive.
Alternate Motel
Cyborg gets up and rushes to the doorway. Starfire follows suit and flies to through the doorway. Robin enters the building as the metal panels that make up the roadway rumbles. Robin slams the door behind them. They all get on their knees and pant. After they stop panting, the group looks at the darkened and bloodied hallway. Cyborg lights the hallway with his mini-flashlight. The hallway is covered in splatters of blood. It's as if someone, or something, exploded in the hallway. Yet their bodies are not there. The smell of blood permeates the air. Cyborg, Starfire, and Robin try to hold down their lunch, or breakfast, as they attempt to get used to the overwhelming smell. As they get used to the smell somewhat, Robin, Cyborg, and Starfire move forward and start to search the building.
They move forward a bit. They look at the first door. There are no numbers that they could find. At least numbers that they could read given that the door and the doorway are so badly decayed. Robin takes a hold of the handle and turns it. 'I hope Raven is in here.' As the door opens, Robin's eyes widen. Starfire is about to move to see what is inside before Robin holds her back. "You don't want to see this Star."
Cyborg looks in and frowns in disgust. He turns to Starfire. "I agree Star. This...isn't something you need to see."
Starfire looks at Robin, then at Cyborg. She nods and steps back.
Inside the room is a crucified man, whose face is caved in; arms spread out on a metal grate that made up the wall, with his lower torso cut off. The veins and arteries seem to be connected to the metal grate. His spinal cord hangs from his body. At the base of the crucified man, there is a shotgun.
Robin looks around the room and picks up the shotgun. "Just a normal shotgun. Not much use to us." Under the shotgun however, there are words that catch Robin's eye. "'Waiting for Samael to return.' Samael? Who, or what is that?" Robin starts to exit the room.
Cyborg picks up the shotgun.
Robin catches Cyborg doing this. He turns around and looks at Cyborg. "Cy?"
Cyborg looks at the gun in his hand. "Normally I wouldn't even consider using this weapon. Even with the criminals back at Jump City, I would've never considered using a deadly weapon. My Sonic Cannon can only knock people down you know..." Cyborg cocks the shotgun. "But here..."
Robin nods. "I...I understand. Just remember...these...are not your normal criminals or monsters."
Cyborg nods. Cyborg shoulders the shotgun and both exit the room. Cyborg closes the door behind him making sure Starfire doesn't even get a glimpse of what is inside the room.
The group continues down the hallway. Static on their radios start to go crazy. In front of them a group of monsters is in front of them. The monster has an eye for a head. His, its arms are massive claws.
Cyborg takes his shotgun and blast one of the monster's head. The monster squeals as its eye starts to gush blood. "Looks like there's something in your eye. Oh wait, I did that." Cyborg smirks. A monster behind it begins to rush Cyborg slashing his massive claws. Cyborg rolls out of the way.
As Cyborg rolls away from the monster, Robin karate kicks the monster's eye careful to avoid the monster's claws. Robin then spins around and kicks the monster to the side sending it to the wall. Robin rushes the monster before it can get up and starts bashing it with his foot. He continues to bash the monster until it is dead.
Starfire blast another group of monsters. Instead of holding back her power, she uses her full power ensuring that each blast is as deadly and dangerous.
Cyborg gets back up. Just then, Cyborg ducks immediately as monster slashes the wall in front of him. Cyborg takes the shotgun, holds the barrel portion, and bats the monster's head. The monster goes down. Cyborg flips the shotgun, aims the gun at the monster, and blasts it.
After the battle is over, the static on their radios dissipate. However, there is still a soft static coming from their radios indicating the danger has not passed. With Robin leading, Robin, Cyborg, and Starfire enter the stairway. The stairway seems decayed and unsafe. Upon closer inspection however, the stairway does appear to still be sturdy to allow the Titans, even Cyborg, to proceed. Chains run down the middle of the stairway. On the top of the roof where the chains are connecting...Robin saddens. 'Oh no. Can't hide this from Star.' There is a man hanging from the chains. He seems to have been there for days, weeks, possibly even months. 'Even here I could smell him.' Robin turns to Starfire. "Um. Star? Do you think you could handle it?"
Starfire looks at the hanging man. Starfire gulps. "I...I think I can handle terrible, revolting, and horrifying thing up there."
Robin looks down. "I'll...take that as a yes." Robin leads the Titans up the stairs.
A pipe falls down the stairway.
"Raven?" Robin looks up the stairway. "Or another monster." Robin frowns. "Only one way to find out." Robin, Starfire, and Cyborg start to run up the stairs.
They reach the top of the stairs, ignoring the hanging man next to them. Huge bangs are heard from the other side of the door. The three Titans wait till the banging stop. When the banging stop, Robin, Cyborg, and Starfire look at each other. Should they enter the room? After looking around, they realize, they have to. Robin takes the handle and starts the turn it.
Click.
The door opens revealing another hallway. There are chambers on the wall. Covering each chamber appears to be some sort of...skin. The skin is pulsing. However, unlike the previous hallway down there, there appears to be something inside the chambers.
Robin, Cyborg, and Starfire look from left to right.
Robin speaks up. "Okay, I think we should take this one step at a time.
Streets of Silent Hill
Beast Boy continues to run down the road. The streets are completely dark. No lights were on anywhere, except from Beast Boy's flashlight. Beast Boy was careful not to use it too much for fear of attracting too much attention. So far, Beast Boy was lucky. In terms of where he should go, all the buildings next to him are locked or blocked in some sort of way. He stops and looks around the corner. "Please don't let there be monsters here, please?"
Beast Boy's radio starts to go crazy.
Beast Boy gulps. "So much for that." He takes a few steps back from the corner.
"RAAAAAAWWWW."
Beast Boy spins around. He sees a number of half decayed humanoid monster behind him. The humanoid monster's hands seem to have massive and unnaturally long claws. Not good.
Beast Boy takes a step. "Um...hi! Guess I should be goooinnng!" Beast Boy spins around and starts running. He stops dead in his tracks as he sees even more monsters ahead of him. "Nonononono!" Monsters surround Beast Boy. Beast Boy starts to cry! "I'm too young to die!" After getting a hold of himself, he changes into a tiger. "Well...if...if I'm going, I'm going to take a few of you with me!"
The monsters start to charge Beast Boy. As Beast Boy waits for the first blow, part of the street slams into the group of monsters, crushing them. Beast Boy blinks. "Huh?"
Behind him, more monsters charge him. "Raaaaa..." The road cracks and buckles in front of him, then carries the monster up and then flips. Crushing the monsters. Blood oozes from the side of the now turned over road.
Beast Boy blinks. "What just happened?"
"Beast Boy?" A girl's voice sounds in the darkness.
Beast Boy turns to the voice. His eyes widen. "Ter...Teerr...Terra?"
Alternate Motel
Robin, Cyborg, and Starfire are careful not to make any sudden moves or sudden sounds. The creatures that are inside the chambers of the wall seem to remain inside their space. They reach a point where the path is cut in half with a metal grate taking up half of the hallway.
Robin looks at the opening. As he approaches the opening, the monster inside the nearby change swings its arm at him. Robin takes his Bo Staff and bats the arm away. "Take that!"
Behind him, the many chambers that make up the walls, the creature insides begin to swing out. A loud hissing noise emanates from the chambers with their swinging arms. The hissing sound gets louder as the wave of swinging arms get closer.
Cyborg looks at the swinging arms. "That can't be good."
"Lets get a move on it!" Robin ushers the others to follow his lead through the corridor.
The Titans bats the nearby arms away from their paths. The Titans are careful not to get hit by the multitudes of arms that are swinging at them. However, Cyborg still receives a few scratches on his armor. Starfire also receives a few scratches too. Though luckily, none of them are serious.
With Robin leading, they all reach the end of the hallway. At the end of the hallway is a door. Robin, not caring what is on the other side of the door at the moment, quickly grabs the handle and swings the door open. Once they are all on the other side, Robin slams the door shut behind them. They all hope that this is the last time they have to face a hallway full of swinging arms.
Robin looks around where they are. The roof of the building. The group looks around. There is a glass skylight in the middle of the roof. On the other side of the building is another door, which should lead to another room to search. So far, no monsters are apparent on the roof. 'I don't care. All I know is, we're one step closer to getting to Raven. And hopefully Beast Boy too.' Robin thinks.
They search the roof a bit, revealing nothing of interest. Since they didn't want to go back to the hallway of arms, this left only one path to take. The other doorway. Robin looks at the doorway. "Don't worry Raven, you won't be alone soon." Robin takes the handle and turns it. When the door opens, both Robin and Cyborg enter the room.
Starfire is about to enter when something behind her catches her attention. She turns back for a second. "Hello?"
Pyramid Head walks out from the shadow.
Fear starts to settle into Starfire. "Um...nice evil undestructable monster. Um...I have no time to fight now so..."
Robin turns around. "Star?"
Cyborg's eyes widen. "No! It's him!"
Starfire turns and rushes to the doorway. The door slams in front of Starfire.
Robin rushes up to the door. "Starfire! No!" Robin frantically tries the door handle, yet the door handle wouldn't budge.
Cyborg backs Robin. "Hold on Star!" Cyborg blast the door with his Sonic Cannon, and later his shotgun. When the door wouldn't budge, Cyborg starts to bash the door as much as possible.
Starfire bangs at the door. "Help!" Starfire ducks as she senses Pyramid Head swinging the massive knife down to her. The knife cuts parts of the building, causing a ton of debris flying around. Starfire flies out of the way to avoid the knife as Pyramid Head dislodges it and swings it in another continuous swing.
Cyborg bangs at the door. He then grabs the handle frantically trying to get it to move. "Move DAMN IT!" After a short struggle, to his surprise, the handle finally moves. Cyborg swings the door wide open.
Robin, seeing the door swing open is about to save Starfire and strike at Pyramid Head.
However, what Cyborg and Robin see shocks and horrifies them.
Motel Roof
They are no longer in the alternate Silent Hill where Starfire remains.Alternate Motel Roof
Starfire continues to battle Pyramid Head. She files above Pyramid Head continuing shooting volley after volley of starbolts. "Take that you evil monster!" Starfire continues to fly way above Pyramid Head. At least far away enough from Pyramid Head's knife range.
However, Starfire quickly discovers that the higher she flies, the worse the rain is. The rain is pounding so hard that it is hard to see where she is going. The rain starts to feel like like rocks. No wait; make that, more like ice. Hail. The longer Starfire is in the air, the progressively worse the storm gets. A golf ball sized hail hits her on the head. "Ouch." Starfire frowns. Seeing that she can't win against the storm, she sinks to the ground. As she reaches to the rooftop, the storm dissipates some.
However, she didn't get a chance to rest as Pyramid Head swings his knife at her. "Eeek." She jumps back at a loud thunder booms through the air. Starfire trips and falls onto the rooftop, as she feels a sharp pain on her shoulder. A nail from a broken piece of the roof lodges itself to Starfire's shoulder. "Ow." The lightning that accompanied the thunder also help illuminate roof for a brief second. Pyramid Head is standing above Starfire who is now engulfed in his shadow. Starfire frantically throws starbolts at Pyramid Head. As a last resort, she uses her laser eyes on Pyramid Head. No effect. Her eyes widen in fear. "No...please don't kill me!" Pyramid Head stands above her as he brings his knife back, ready to strike.
The last thing Starfire sees is the knife swinging down above her...
-------End of Chapter 5
Well, finally got this chapter done. And it is a cliffhanger. Bahahahahahahahaha. Heheh...ummm...yeah. Now, when I first put this up, it wasn't proofread. Now...it is.
As for my next update to any of my stories...I'm tempted to update Dangerous Love Affair next. I wanted to start Chapter 10 for quite some time now (which means that if I ever do get Chapter 10 out, I would only have 2 chapters left before I'm done with it!) but, with my Evangelion story in the pipeline (I hope to get Chapter 2 done so that this story will start to get a lot more original [The first chapter is almost a novelization of Episode 1 of Evangelion. Chapter 2, while still stuck in the mold of Episode 2, I plan to have a little more original content which I hope in the end, will make my story different then the series), as well as the upcoming showing of "Betrayal" (moved up to July 31! Yes!), that means that I could finally continue with my first story, Two Birds Part 2. So many choices, so little time. :-(
Oh yeah, and one more thing, I'm really walking a fine line between R and PG-13 rating. Although I am keeping it PG-13 for now, due to FFN's no tolerance policy on mis-rated stories, I'm afraid that I might be forced to up the rating to prevent being kicked off in the future.
And one very last thing...I already submitted the update. Yet, for whatever reason, it doesn't look like it is going through before. So, I'm resubmitting it to see if anything happens.
Anyways, is Starfire dead? I'll give you a hint, there is a reason why I had it end with ... instead of a simple period. Now, what is Raven's 'destiny'? Who was that man in the shadows? Why is Terra in Silent Hill? So many questions...and I hope to have them all answered as the story progresses.
