Disclaimer: Mike: I own nothing.
Myora: That's all you're gunna say?
HeavenDemon: You always insist we do some long, drawn out attempt to be funny in the disclaimer. Why not today?
Mike: Because. I'm tired, and I just want to write the chapter! OK?! Is that ok with everyone?! Huh?! Is it?!
Raven: Mike. Calm.
Mike: Right. Ok. Azerath Metrion Zinthos...I'm better now. Chapter time!
Later that night, the Titans were all in the living room, watching the news. Starfire's cuts had been shallow, and Raven was able to heal them easily. Dark figures like the one that attacked Starfire were being spotted all over town. They hadn't attacked anyone else. Yet.
"I think we should turn it for the night," said Robin, "We can hunt for these things tomorrow in the daylight where we can see them. I don't want anyone else getting hurt."
"Sounds like a plan," said Cyborg, "Night y'all."
The Titans all walked to their own rooms. HeavenDemon paced the floor for a while, unable to fall asleep. He heard a knock on his door. He opened it to find Raven.
"Keydin, are you ok?" she said, stepping into his room and shutting the door, "You seem troubled."
"I...Raven, I didn't tell the Titans everything about what happened tonight." said HeavenDemon, sitting down on his bed, "The thing that attacked Starfire is a demon puppet called a Darkstalker...and...Centara and I invented it a long time ago."
"Then if you two invented them," said Raven, "Who's controlling the ones all over town?"
"I'm not sure," he answered, "I thought Centara is the only one who knows how to make them, but it obviously wasn't her. It looks like we're just going to have to wait this one out.
"Don't worry," said Raven, taking a seat next to HeavenDemon, "Whoever is doing this is sure to tip their hand sooner or later. Now, let's just get some rest. It's been a long day."
(Later that night)
HeavenDemon slowly got out of bed, being careful not to wake up Raven. He looked at the paper to double check the address. He opened the window, and flew out. Centara met him outside. They glided threw the night sky, for a while not even saying anything. Then, HeavenDemon spoke.
"This doesn't feel right," he said, glancing back at the tower, "Lying to the others like this. But we can't tell them about this.
"I know how you feel," said Centara, "We can't tell them and risk them getting hurt. You saw what that Darkstalker did to Starfire. It could have been much worse, too. We'll take of this now, and it will be over and done with."
HeavenDemon and Centara landed outside a small house. All the lights were out.
"This is the place on the paper," said HeavenDemon. "Destiny Street. Only he would do something this corny.
"Very gloomy looking," remarked Centara, "It fits the situation perfectly. Let's go in."
They found the front door was unlocked. They walked into a dark living room.
"We know you're here Artimis," called Centara, "Come on out."
A young man stepped out from the shadows, dressed in a sliver cloak. Only his face and his snow white hair were visible.
"Ah, Keydin and Centara. How nice to see you again," he said in a quiet yet haunting voice, "I wasn't sure if you would come, but it seems you have excepted my invitation."
"Yeah, well your 'invitation' nearly killed one of our friends," said HeavenDemon.
"And how did you make one of my Darkstalkers?" asked Centara.
"It's very simple," replied Artimis, "I used to watch you make them all the time, back when we, along with the others, were the Legion of Darkness. And I have decided that it's time for a little reunion."
"Back up a little," said Centara, "How did you escape Trigon?"
"Trigon," Artimis spat, "If you would have stayed with us we could have killed him. When you left, we gathered followers to form a secret resistance against Trigon. We were hidden among the ranks of his own army. It seems that our many failed attempts to kill him were going to end, and we would be rid of him once and for all. Then the portal to Earth opened, and you two killed him! Try to imagine my shock when I found out. But then I realized than if we teamed up again, there would be no one to stop us from ruling Azerath. And even Earth."
"Look Artimis," began HeavenDemon, "That's nice and all, but we're not interested. We joined the Legion because we desperately wanted help fighting Trigon. And now, we don't need any help. So, we're gunna go."
"Nice seeing you again, I guess," said Centara.
"I hoped it wouldn't come to this," mumbled Artimis, "You don't have a choice."
"Is that right?" asked Centara, getting in a fighting stance.
"Yes it is." Artimis disappeared.
"Where did he go?" asked HeavenDemon. "Can you sense him?"
"No, he's hiding his spirit somehow," said Centara.
Artimis appeared behind them, and draped his arms over their shoulders.
"Get ready for pain," he whispered.
Mike: Hehe, check out my uber cliffy.
Myora: Oh man, I can't wait to see the reviews for this one!
HeavenDemon: I'm guessing...6 death threats.
Raven: I say 5.
Myora: I'm going with 4. How about...losers pay the winner 50 bucks each?
HeavenDemon: You're on.
Raven: Let's go for it.
Mike: (anime sweat drop) Um, next chapter really really soon. It will be done in the before the weekend. I promise. Dont kill me. Put down the chainsaw. Please review. Peace out!
