Chapter 3
"Blaming Mistakes"
Raven had to turn around to confront Trigun. The dark figure was sitting on the bed with her with a grin on his face. An idea of darkness was in his mind as Raven jumped off and prepared to fight him.
"What are you planning? You can't succeed in the prophecy! What else do you have?" Raven yelled as Trigun chuckled a little under his breath. Soon, the laugh turned loud and maniacal as Raven just got angrier over the charade.
"I'm not going to do anything, you are!" He yelled as he launched forward and entered Ravens body. Raven backed up a little and looked around to see where he went. He was gone without a trace. Raven went back to her bed, slowly, and confusingly. She shook her head and treated it like an hallucination.
Outside, the rest of the Titans were playing Volley ball with Robin and Cyborg on one team facing Terra, Beast Boy, and Starfire on the other. Robin wanted to disagree with not being on Starfire's team but he didn't want to cause suspicion or arguments, so he went with it, even though they were getting beat pretty badly.
"I am serving now!" Starfire yelled as she threw the ball in the air and smacked it. With her strength, she literally had to tap it in order to keep in the boundary lines. The ball came for Cyborg, making him volley it towards Terra. Terra wasn't so good physically so she had to hit it as hard as she could. Her smack went towards Robin, making him hit it back to the airborne Terra. She spun around like crazy and fell to the ground. Beast Boy caught her and Starfire flew to hit the ball.
"Oh yea! This game is over!" Cyborg yelled as he jumped towards the airborne ball and smacked it as hard as he could, causing a small sonic boom prowl behind it. Terra saw the ball and she lifted the ground, making it bounce off and hit Cyborg to the ground slowly. But Cyborg oddly enough jumped up and yelled in victory.
"Ya! That's what I'm talking about! That is game, set and MATCH! WHOA!" Cyborg yelled as Terra got up in confusion. Beast Boy and Starfire joined her with odd looks on their faces.
"Um, dude, she bounced the ball back to you and you hit the ground." Beast Boy said but Cyborg agreed.
"Yes, but it hit the GROUND! That means it out!" Cyborg yelled as he gloated with victory. Terra got up and sighed over the mistake she made.
"Do not worry Terra, we played valiantly." Starfire said as Terra smiled and got up.
"Ya, thanks Star." Terra said as Starfire hugged her but didn't give a shot on squeezing, even though Terra was wearing different cloths.
"Op, the suns down, time for bed." Cyborg said as he left to his room, pressing a few buttons on his arm.
"Ya, it's time to hit the hay." Terra said as she walked over with Beast Boy as they went downstairs too. They didn't bother to mess with Raven since she went to bed on her own time.
Late that night, Raven was tossing and turning in bed as she tried to not go to sleep, but wake up. A nightmare was going on inside her mind, mostly about her and Trigun. It was murder on her head and body.
"Do you feel it Raven? The hatred and jealousy of you coming alive." Trigun said inside Ravens dream as Raven tried to hit him but he flew up and went behind her.
"No! I feel the hatred of you! You're the one causing this! Not me!" Raven denied as she tried to hit him again but he just moved out of the way.
"Don't you get it? I am you! Ever since you killed me that day, the hatred side of you, that's me of course, got to take more action. Let's just say your anger and jealousy has gone to action ever since Terra came back."
Raven suddenly woke up by the sound of the alarm. She looked at her clock and it said 6:00. Not a regular time she wakes up but a good enough time. It wasn't a later time to get out of that nightmare.
Everyone met inside the living room as Robin once again explained the mission.
"So, who is it this time?" Raven asked Robin as he pressed a few buttons on his remote, bringing down the plasma TV.
"It's Cinder Block, it seems like he's taken over the jewelry store and keeping people hostage." Robin said as thoughts were going on in Ravens mind.
"Aaaah, Cinder Block. . . Isn't he made out of rock?" Trigun said as Raven shook her head to get the jealousy out of her head.
"No, stop, if she's going to get her glory then she can. I don't care." Raven lied to herself as she took a deep breath to calm herself down.
"Okay! Titans! Move out!" Robin yelled as they all ran off to their objective.
Cinder Block was throwing people around as everyone coward in the corner with fear. He grabbed bags and bags of gold and diamonds as the people stepped away from the glass that was breaking. Suddenly, a bunch of disk shaped objects came and exploded on impact. Cinder Block turned around and saw exactly what he expected, the Teen Titans.
"Let them go Cinder Block!" Robin yelled as everyone stood by his side as usual. Cinder Block grinned and held one of the people by the neck. Everyone stopped in shock as Cinder Block started to chock the person.
"Terra, can you get him?" Robin whispered to Terra as she nodded. More thoughts of jealousy started to go threw her head. She shook her head and just watched Terra go to work. Terra made her hands glow and made Cinder Block let go of the person.
"Titans! GO!" Robin yelled as Starfire automatically charged for Cinder Block and rammed him into the wall. The people panicked and raced for the door. Cinder Block grabbed Starfire and threw her to the wall. Robin raced forward and grabbed out his to bars, latched in on his forearms, and started to smack Cinder Block. Robin automatically turned to Cinder Blocks right to make sure he has more time to hit him.
Cinder Block latched his legs to the ground and started to take the blows without moving. He grabbed the bars and threw Robin backwards into a wall. Cyborg ran to Cinder Block and started to hit him multiple of times into the wall. Starfire joined in and punched them continuously. Cinder Block got irritated and punched the two of them to the ground.
Starfire coughed out blood and Cyborg let out a static shock. Raven wanted to help but Terra cut in by controlling Cinder Block and tossing him to the wall. Beast Boy ran to Cinder block and tried to ram him as a Buffalo. Cinder Block caught him and started to push Beast Boy rapidly. Beast Boy transformed into a elephant and still was outmatched. He finally got irritated and transformed into a T-rex, slamming him into the wall. Beast Boy backed away and everyone surrounded him.
The dust cleared and Cinder Block came forward with someone in a chock hold again. Robin nodded towards Terra and she started to focus, but Raven got so jealous with the fact that Terra was doing everything, so she tried to do it herself without question.
Cinder Block saw his hand turn black and started to pull away, but he resisted. The struggle between the two of them went on as everyone watched with awe. Raven was sweating as she tried to pull Cinder Block's arm away.
"Give up!" Trigun suddenly yelled in her head. Raven suddenly let go of the trance, making Cinder Block's arm swing down and kill the person. The blood splashed on Raven's face as she starred in surprise. Everyone looked at her with a surprised look, she let someone die, she killed someone!
"Raven. . . You. . ." Beast Boy said slowly as Raven suddenly disappeared as fast as she could. Everyone was so caught up with Raven, they didn't see Cinder Block charging for them. Everyone didn't have time for him and didn't want to waist time. They all jumped on him at the same time and held him down. Robin tied him up with his hook shot, Starfire tied him up with a metal bar and Cyborg with Beast Boy's and Terra's help, tightened it.
"Raven. . ." Robin said silently as he starred at the dead body, spilling blood on the floor.
Raven was in the bath room, wiping the blood and hoping that she could wipe the memory away. She stared at the mirror and saw Trigun in it.
"So, how was it?" Trigun asked as Raven backed up into the wall.
"You! You caused me to kill someone!" Raven yelled as Trigun laughed maniacally.
"No! We did! Though that was my voice that spoke! That was YOUR conscious speaking! And you listened!"
"NO!" Raven broke the mirror and collapsed on the ground with tears coming out of her eyes like crazy.
"I'm not a murderer! I didn't kill anyone!" Raven said to herself as she stormed out of the room with anger and sadness. When she left the room, she stopped when everyone was standing outside the room with straight faces.
"Raven. . . we need to talk, about today." Robin said as Raven tried to escape but Cyborg and Beast Boy stood in her way. She had no choice but to talk about it.
"Okay, what?" She asked as Beast Boy stepped up to her and saw the left over tears that was washed away from the water.
"Well, this is the first time it ever happened, and I know you're punishing yourself for it." Beast Boy said as Raven was filling up with hope. Hope that Beast Boy actually cared, but the interruption from Robin angered her.
"But next time, you need to follow orders, it could be worse if you don't." Robin said as the anger inside Raven was building up.
"Now, what do you suppose you should do? Strangle him, kill him? Just like you did on that person."
"I already told you! I didn't kill him!" She thought with rage but the rage only filled Triguns power.
"And I have already told you! That was you!"
"SHUT UUUUUP!" Raven yelled out loud as a black aura surrounded her. It blew them to the wall and Raven raised into the air.
"Yes! Be filled with anger! Yes!" Trigun yelled as her eyes turned red and she let out another yell that sounded like Triguns voice mixed with hers. The whole tower was shaking as everyone couldn't budge.
"Raven! Stop!" Robin yelled as Raven flew out of the place and towards the town, making everyone fall to the floor.
"C'mon! We have to get her!" Robin cried as everyone went straight for the city with great speed.
Raven flew in the middle of the town and everyone backed away a little. They all remembered what happened not to long ago so they were aware of what she could and might do. Suddenly, Raven let out a cry and raised into the air. Her size was as tall as the skyscrapers. Her anger and jealousy was taking over as she banged into buildings and streets.
Robin entered the city with everyone by his side. He knew they had to fight her to calm her down since she was totally out of control. Raven turned to them and grinned.
"Teeeeerraaaaa. . ." Raven said as she opened her mouth and let out a dark blue aura. The dark blue aura ran into Terra and took her into the air.
"Terra!" Everyone yelled as they tried to chase after her but two tentacles blocked the way for everyone.
"You are dealing with me!" Raven yelled as everyone turned around and saw what was supposed to be Raven. It was Trigun with his image, still looking like Raven, but with a red cape and red eyes.
"Titans! GO!" Robin yelled as everyone charged for him.
Terra suddenly woke up inside of a ruined stadium with a conscious of seeing where Raven was. She turned and saw Raven, ready, and prepared for the kill.
