Hey everyone, Sorry it took so long for me to update, but anyways thank you all for your reviews! I am so grateful to you all, I hope each of you continues to read my story and I am again sorry for the long time it took me to update. I've had a few projects to do so I've been ultra busy, but here's part nine... and to DemonicGoddess, he wakes up in this chap.

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

CHAPTER 9:

DarkResurrection

In the medical room a light beep was going off. It was around six in the mourning and each of the titans and Gods were resting. The Gods more so than the titans because some of them had to retreat from battle, strangely though their demonic copies didn't follow them, instead they simple vanished. Freya, Isiria, and Athena were all in the main room while Gabriel, Micheal and Odin were on the rooftop keeping watch.

Inside of the medical room was a quiet ruffle of fabric and then the beeping stopped. Robin sat up as he looked around and adjusted his vision to see in the darkened room. He had finally come back from where ever he was... that also meant Lucifer was now walking the planet somewhere. Robin got off the bed and began to search out the other Titans before he stopped himself.

"It's only six their all still asleep." Robin reminded himself as he then realized that one person was up at this time: Raven. Robin thought for a moment about Lucifer's statement... had Raven really loved Slade? Robin knew that thinking in this way wasn't good... Lucifer had put too many ideas in his head. Robin left the medic room and walked down the hall to Raven's room. As he walked he began to see images and Lucifer's words came back to him

"That's right ask her if she felt something toward him and then look into her eyes as she answers you." Robin tried to shake the thought away but another image of Slade and Raven kissing came back to him

"I think you should seriously think about you and the little demon's future... do you really think that you can just forget, her deciet?" Lucifer's voice replayed itself in his head as he stared at Raven's door.

"Or is it the fact that you just can't hear anymore of the truth... or is it the fact that Raven moans for Slade but when you comes to you she always locked herself away?" Again Lucifer's voice stung like knives in his heart... what he had said was all true.

Robin began to recall the moment he confronted her.

"I saw you and Slade up there and I think I have an idea of what might have went on, but I won't jump to conclusions. I want you to tell me the truth, Rae."

"Its none of you damn, business." Robin grabbed his heart as he felt the pain running through it at the memory.

"...ask her if she felt something toward him and then look into her eyes as she answers you..." Again the voice echoed in Robin's head. When he had looked into her eyes two years ago, she had so much anger and it was even clearer that she was mad when she told him that it wasn't any of his business. Robin looked at her door one last time before stepping away. He couldn't face her... Lucifer had gotten to him.

Robin looked at his hands and sighed. Raven did love Slade and that realization hurt more than anything physical Lucifer or any other demon could do to him. Robin shut his eyes and cleared his head.

"I can't let myself cry over her... I love her... I can't love her... it will just distract me... Lucifer will try to use Raven against me... I have to be objective... I'm not Robin anymore... I'm Nameless. I swore to protect this realm and I must... that is my main prioriety." Robin stood up as he battle attire took form on his body.

Nameless then began to cover his clothing with the thin leather trench coat. He pulled his hood up and sought out Isis and Van, both where in the training room sparring. When he came to the door he knocked once and then the two warriors turned around.

"Nameless?" Van walked cautiously toward Nameless. When Nameless nodded Isis rushed him and hugged him.

"Finally, what took so long?" Isis growled after her happiness died down.

"Listen its a long five day story that I don't wish to retell. We need to go. Lucifer has risen and we need to find him... I know for a fact that right now he isn't as strong as he should be so defeating him shouldn't be too hard if we can find him immediately. There is no time for alerting the others I'm sure the Gods already know I have risen." Nameless was interrupted by Van

"'Risen', you make it sound like you're a demon or something." Van grinned as Nameless shook his head slightly.

"Let's go you two enough games. I'm itching for battle... Nameless are you sure you're up to it?" Isis asked a hint of worry in her voice.

"Of course, lets get going." With that the three warriors teleported out of the tower.

Raven had woken up feeling different. Her dark room hindered her vision as she stumbled toward the exit. She had to see Robin and make sure he was safe. As she opened her door she realized that her cloak had returned to its dark shade once again.

"What happened?" Raven looked at herself in disappointment before it finally hit her.

"Robin!" She teleported directly to the medical room only to find a empty bed. She looked everywhere in the room but found no trace of Robin. She began to leave but Freya appeared behind her.

"It seems that our warrior has awakened... Van and Isis are both gone as well. I believe that they are together." Freya spoke as Raven turned around. Robin had left? Without coming to see her? Inside she was a bit angry.

"Did he speak to you before he left... did he say anything?" Raven asked hopefull, but Freya shook her head.

"No, I am only speculating this. It is strange though that he would just leave without telling anyone. I must say I am concerned, but Nameless is a dutiful warrior, meaning that he most likely has left to engage the enemy. This is the more likely situation." Freya spoke as she then thought back to the dopplegangers of herself and theother Gods.

"Why wouldn't he tell anyone? I mean he could at least have dropped by to say something to me." Raven started but Freya shook her head.

"Lucifer rises today... Nameless knows that. He has a duty to protect before love. He is trying to protect this planet, so you must be understanding... not everything revolves around the love you two share.

"Nameless, what makes you think that Lucifer's here?" Van asked as he followed Isis and Nameless up to the top of an ice covered mountain.

"I can feel it." Nameless called back as he increased his speed and reached the top.

Van and Isis arrived to see a blonde haired man grinning at the three of them. Nameless was the first to prepare himself as he merely took a simple stance and prepared for a fierce battle.

"Ah... Nameless, I see that you have arrived. I must say that it was quite longer than expected. So have you asked her why? or more importantly... did she, or even more importantly does she?" Lucifer grinned as Nameless unsheathed both his blades and glared.

"Nameless what does he speak of?" Isis asked as she, herself, felt the anger radiating from her companion. Nameless shook her question off and dashed at Lucifer ready to kill.

"So this is how you repay me for my honesty... I expected so much more from you. I bet Raven's wondering where you are right now... you didn't even say bye or anything." Lucifer quipped as he vanished before Nameless could slice him in half. His voice was all that remained in the area.

"Nameless go home... talk to your love... if that's what you call her... and ask her that simple question. Why torture yourself... unless you can't handle the truth." Nameless stopped his progress and sheathed both his blades. Isis and Van were both concerned and confused.

"What did he mean by ask her? Is he talking about Raven... if so why is he wanting you to ask her... I mean what does he want you to ask her?" Van was stopped by Isis who rasied a hand.

"Nameless we should head back to that tower... obviously you have some unfinished business with Raven and until it is resolved I doubt you should be out fighting against any of Lucifer's creatures. Please I am asking nicely, which is very, very rare, lets go back and talk to the others." Isis stepped in front of Nameless who look away to the side before agreeing.

"Hey... Nameless how did you know that Lucifer would be right here?" Van asked as Nameless thought for a moment.

"I justhad a feeling, let's go." Nameless took to the sky and began to fly back to the tower. Van and Isis hesitated before following.

"Why couldn't we just teleport?" Van asked as Isis thought for a moment.

"This is getting stranger by the second... Nameless somehow knew where Lucifer was just with a hunch. I think Lucifer somehow contacted Nameless in his sleep. Van let catch up." Isis looked to Van who seemed to be in deep thought.

"Right."

Raven sat in her room meditating. She again had to learn to control her emotions and at that moment, sadness and a little bit of rage was trying to surface.

"How could he just leave without a single bye or something?" Raven thought as she crossed her legs and stared out the window, meditation long forgotten. She float toward her window and looked out.

The sky was drenched blood still, the waters had begun to look as though it wasn't water at all but blood. Everything looked chaotic and destroyed. Raven thought back to the prophecy that fore told her as the destructive force that would wipe this planet and the galaxy out. She thought about her father most of all. Trigon, was supposed to be the epitath of evil.

"This is truly the end... what happens if we can't beat Lucifer?" Raven sighed as Athena entered her room.

"Raven, Nameless is returning to the tower. We will meet him on the roof, you're presence is required." Athena then teleported to the roof as Raven thought a little further and then went to the roof along with the other Titans.

Nameless, Isis, and Van landed on the Titan Tower and were greeted by the titans and the Gods.Nameless regarded them all with a hard stare. Freya and Isiria were both stunned by this and decided against speaking to their warrior.

"Goddess Athena, we have returned." Isis said as she bowed a little and then approached her mentors. Michael looked at Nameless and slowly his hand made its way to his sword's handle.

"Nameless are you well?" Everyone looked at Michael as though he had grown another appendage. Nameless looked up at the God and shook his head.

Nameless knew none of them would understand and if Lucifer was right they knew nothing about the truth. He looked away before he spoke.

"Lucifer is out there... Van, Isis if you two are too afraid to challenge him then I will go alone." His words caused a great silence to wash over the group. Isiria knew something had happened to him and she needed to figure it out. Van and Isis looked to each other and then spoke up.

"Nameless, has Lucifer contacted you at all?" Van asked as Isis brushed passed him and stepped in front of Nameless.

"Listen, I fear nothing. You are the one who is letting your feelings get in the way. Lucifer was talking about asking someone something... I think he was refering to Raven... until you get whatever it is out of the way you're a liability." Isis finished as Nameless grinned and looked at her with his golden eyes shining.

"You know what? You're right..." Nameless looked at Raven who at the moment felt singled out. She returned the stare with as much intensity as he gave off before she looked away blushing as she pulled her hood up.

Nameless saw this and sneered.

"Its none of you damn, business." Nameless stepped foward and as he got closer more of Lucifer's words hit him.

"I do recall at that particular moment in time you were in your room thinking of ways to tell her your feelings. All of the pacing and thinking for nothing... her heart already belonged to another. Look at them enjoy themselves lost in an art which man believes he created." Nameless growled lightly as the memory hit him. He slowed his approach as even more memories flooded him.

"You were spectacular tonight my little raven. I must say I am glad that wecan share such a special moment together even though I will one day rid myself of you and your little friends." Nameless began to shake with anger but quickly caught it, but that didn't stop the visions from coming back.

"Look Slade, I gave you my body. We both got what we wanted so leave. We can't risk one of them coming up here." After that memory Lucifer's voice again hit him.

"They were in love... don't you see... it was the thrill of never being caught, of sneaking around, forbidden love... I hate it... don't you?" Nameless's eyes flashed with anger but luckily his hood was up the entire time. As Nameless stepped in front of Raven he put his hand on her shoulder and rubbed it. Raven looked up and him and smiled a little as she embraced him.

Nameless hugged back forgetting momentarily about the visions. He smiled grimly as another memory hit him.

"Know this... after you ascended into Etheria, they kept at it. She felt no remorse for your pain. She continued to be his... slave." Nameless's eyes opened as they began to darken. He pulled away from Raven and whispered.

"Sixty-six more times." Nameless then stepped away from Raven and turned away from her. He thought for a moment before turning back to face her. With his eyes closed he thought again about Lucifer's words.

"That's right ask her if she felt something toward him and then look into her eyes as she answers you." With that Nameless began to speak as he opened his eyes and stared into Raven's soul.

"Did you love him?" Raven was taken back by the question.

"What are you talking about?"

"Slade... did you love him?" When those words were said everyone held their breathe. Raven was shocked by the sudden inquiry.

Nameless waited for his answer as he glared at Raven showing no emotion. Raven, on the other hand, wasn't as poised as he and so she became confused.

"What are you talking about? Robin, I love you." Raven spoke as Nameless sighed.

"Did. You. Love. Him?" Nameless voice was sharp and quiet. If one wasn't listening you couldn't here what he was saying. Raven shook her head as she got nervous.

"Answer the question... please." Nameless smiled, an unnoticeable fake one, but a smile.

Raven knew she couldn't tell him... she had at one point loved Slade... and that's what he wanted to hear... She couldn't do that to him. Raven looked at Robin and sighed.

"No, Robin... I never loved him... I swear." Nameless locked in on her eyes and saw the real truth.

"That's right ask her if she felt something toward him and then look into her eyes as she answers you. You know how to discern if she's telling you a tail." Lucifer's voice hit Nameless harder than before as another vision came to him.

"Fine!" Raven growled as she turned to look at him. "I have needs, I'm just as much a teenager as you are! I was tempted and I gave into the temptation. I swear to you Robin, this was the only time I brought him here." Raven finished softly.

Nameless ignited. His anger went over the edge. He looked at Raven one last time before turning around.

"Robin?" Raven asked as she put her hand on his shoulder. He swatted her hand away and in one swift turn he turned and back-handed Raven away from him.

Everyone gasped at this action. Raven slid to the side of the roof before being stopped by the concrete railing that lined the roof of the tower. Beast Boy and Cyborg went to Raven's side as Starfire flew towards Nameless. Terra stood still, she knew something was wrong... Something happend to him.

"Dude, why did you hit Rae?" Beast Boy turned to look at Nameless who growled and then faced the group.

"You fools, I will do everything in my power to erase Lucifer from this realm. if Isis and Van are too much of cowards to fight with me, then stay here. I shallchallenge Lucifer myself, I don't need any of you..." Nameless spoke as he looked at each of his former teammates and Van and Isis. He turned to the Gods, themselves, and shook his head.

"You six aren't needed. I shall destroy Nephyths, Bast, Minerva, Ares, Set and Anubis myself... go back to your Etheria... that is your realm... this is mine..." Nameless declared as he lifted into the air.

"That doesn't justify you attacking Raven!" Cyborg growled as Nameless grinned.

"I was foolish to put her, a half-bred demon, before the mortals in this realm... I was a fool to love a liar and a traitor. Raven, you would lie to my face... I should have expected as much... you are after all justlike the other demons. I shall rid this realm of all of those who don't belong Devil and God alike, niether shall reside in this realm. Gods, you have until tomorrow to leave before you become my enemy. Farewell." Nameless vanished leaving each other those on the roof confused and shocked.
