A/N: Well, umm, I really don't know what to say. I'm sorry for behaving so stupid last time. Don't worry I won't delete this story and I'll finish it. It's just that I've had some really bad days, you know, I've been ignored and I feel as if no one would care about me. So I had quite a bad mood. Unfortunately I fall into these depressions from time to time and in times like that I really want to kill someone. Well, anyway, hope you'll like the story. And once again I'm sorry.

P.S.: If you review I'll be happier:)

Disclaimer: Same as in Chapter 7.

Chapter 8

The T-car was speeding towards the destination, a cloud of dust created in its path. The Titans sat quietly in the car, nobody wanted to speak about what was expected to happen.

"Why is she doing this?" Robin asked himself out loud.

"Maybe it isn't her. Maybe somebody else is causing this." Beast Boy said. He didn't want it to be her. He had seen Terra fall too often. He knew how sensitive she was. But deep inside he knew that she was causing the earthquake. Everyone felt the same way, but no one wanted to argue. Everyone hoped that perhaps it really was someone else. And so the only thing they could do was hurry towards the suspected epicenter.

Some minutes later, near the epicenter

The Titans had finally arrived at the place. They quickly exited the car and looked around, searching for the target. They saw a lone dark figure standing not far from them. They carefully approached it and a familiar bad feeling arose inside them. They soon got close enough to see the figure clearly. It was dressed in night-black clothes, a long black cape and the head was hidden underneath a hood. They stood right behind it and everyone recognized the darkling.

"Shade!" Robin yelled at the dark one. No reply came. The Titans were a bit confused and readied themselves for a battle. They still remembered well the demon's sneak attacks.

"I don't know how you survived Shade, but you won't get away this time!" Raven said. A quiet laughter was heard from the darkling. Yet it was not Shade's laughter. This one was cold as well, but somehow…different. The darkling slowly turned around, but the face still remained hidden from them. The Titans immediately noticed that this wasn't the demon General. This one seemed to be a bit taller and slimmer.

"Where's Terra?" Beast Boy asked. Another laughter came from the dark figure. The laughter seemed to be more familiar now, but the Titans couldn't guess where did they hear it before.

"What's the matter BB? Can't recognize me anymore?" the darkling said with an amused voice and finally looked at them from underneath the hood. It was Terra. Or at least it reminded them of Terra. She had completely black eyes and her face seemed to be pale.

"I don't blame you of course. I understand that you might have confused me with someone else." she said. The Titans were too shocked to even move.

"Terra…what happened?" Cyborg asked the demon girl. She smiled at him softly, yet everyone felt that there was actually no kindness in her smile. She was exactly as Shade.

"Let's just say, that I've finally found what destiny awaits me. A destiny of freedom and happiness. And I'll destroy you, something my former self couldn't do." she answered.

"And how do you plan doing that, DEMON?" Raven asked her with much anger in her voice. The others looked at her as she said the 'demon' word. Raven knew what was the girl's soul hiding. She knew because the same horrible power lay dormant within her as well. However Terra wasn't afraid of Raven.

"Aaah, Rae, it's good to see you again! Hope you're not mad at me for kicking your butt so many times. I was always the better one. My powers have always been stronger than yours. And I was the first one he had loved!" Terra said and looked at Beast Boy. The changeling's face reflected a mixture of feelings: surprise, fear, shock and sadness.

"I hope I'm not breaking your poor little heart BB. I sure wouldn't want to do that. But then again, you have this witch to take care of your stupid love probl…" Terra was teasing him, but couldn't finish the sentence as a huge rock surrounded by a black aura hit her at a great speed.

"SHUT UP!" Raven screamed furiously. The other Titans finally recovered from the shock caused by the events of the past minutes and prepared for the battle. The rock finally stopped and everyone waited for Terra to step out from behind the stone. She soon came out and it seemed as if the hit didn't affect her a bit. She just wiped off some dust from her cloak and looked at Raven.

"Now, now Raven dear, you said that I could speak to you whenever I want. And now you tell me to shut up? Where are your manners?" Terra mocked the dark Titan.

"What could you tell me that would possibly interest me traitor?" Raven asked with an irritated voice. Terra smiled again.

"Remember the small chat we had? Well, the reason for my behaviour was, that HE has returned. To be even more precise, HE had never left." Terra said.

"Shade? But how?" Raven asked.

"Well, you know that he killed me in the crater and then you defeated him. Fortunately for him he killed me with his sword and this way he had a small piece of his own soul within me. He just simply used it to bring me back and assure his own survival this way. He was slowly regaining his strength and with him I became stronger as well. I didn't know this, but he soon started affecting me. My thoughts, my behaviour, my life, everything. He was constantly there and couple of days ago he was once again able to take a physical form. After that I came back to you. But it was him who made me go back to you, so I could see how little you cared about me!" Terra explained. She pulled down her hood and her long blonde hair with black strands was seen.

"I thought that he wanted to kill me, he was driving me insane. But then he helped me realize the truth about you. And now I'm free at last! AND I HATE YOU!" Terra became enraged and a massive earthquake shook the earth. Soon millions of little rock shards appeared around her from air and started circling around her.

"Titans, go!" Robin gave the command and they separated just in moment as the first stone bullets arrived at the place where they stood. During the backflip he threw some flashbangs at Terra, hoping to distract her attention, but she destroyed the small disks before they could explode. As Robin landed a rock hit him, coming from his left side. In the meantime Starfire and Cyborg started firing at Terra, but she dodged all of their attacks elegantly and gracefully. They became so concentrated at hitting her that they didn't notice two boulders flying at them from behind. They got hit and fell unconscious.

"This is too easy!" Terra giggled. Suddenly a string of black aura appeared around her neck and lifted her up in the air and started to suffocate her. She immediately stopped smiling. The situation seemed familiar, as she knew that it was Raven who was trying to kill her. Again.

"So Shade was right about her! She really wants to kill me!" Terra thought. She started to struggle with the black collar around her neck, but she was slowly running out of air.

"Terra, give up! We won't hurt you if you do." Raven said. In the meantime Beast Boy was checking his teammates. They were okay, just unconscious because of the huge rocks. No one seemed to be injured seriously, only some bruises were seen.

"LIAR!" Terra finally managed to scream and several small stones flew at Raven. She stopped strangling the girl and made black shield to protect herself from the shards. But the rocks just kept coming and slowly she was losing her concentration, as she had to deflect more and more missiles. Fortunately Beast Boy, who transformed into a bull rammed Terra. The rain of rocks stopped. Terra fell on the ground and saw Beast Boy rushing towards her again. She smiled a bit and just as the green shapeshifter got to her a thick stonewall emerged from the ground. The only thing Terra heard was a loud bang as Beast Boy ran into the wall. She made the wall collapse and saw that Beast Boy now lay in front of her on the ground. He was unconscious. She kneeled down to him and looked at the boy. Memories of the two of them came back. She remembered their first meeting, how she had trusted him, their first and only date. She had loved him once. But no longer. It didn't pain her anymore to know that he loved someone else. She didn't need his love anymore. She picked up Beast Boy from the ground and held him in the air by his shirt.

"This is for everything you've ever caused me." she whispered and punched him with all her force in the face. Beast Boy flew a long distance in the air and finally fell on the ground. Terra felt some sort of relief, as if she had just left behind her past.

"Okay, four down, one more to go." Terra said with confidence and turned towards Raven. However she turned around just to see the T-car flying towards her. It hit her with full force, since she couldn't do anything to stop it. After the T-car stopped she crawled out from underneath it, looked up and saw Raven levitating above her, Raven's eyes were glowing white.

"It's time to stop you Terra, once and for all!" she said. Terra looked at her, and her golden aura appeared around her.

"You know Raven, I've never known how much did you hate me. But thanks to Shade I finally know what are you really like!" Terra yelled and threw huge chunks of rocks at Raven with her powers. Raven was able to stop some of the stones, but soon she couldn't control every stone and had to fly away from their path. Terra continued to throw more of the stones at her, as Raven was dodging them with difficulties. Finally Raven managed to grab Terra's arm with her telekinetic powers and threw her high up in the air. Terra was surprised by the sudden attack, but summoned a rock on which she landed safely. Now she stood on the boulder as it was hovering in the air and looked down at Raven who was now standing on the ground.

The time had come.

"Alright Shade, she's alone now!" Terra shouted. Raven's heart suddenly became filled with fear. She would have to fight two powerful demons at once, and her friends weren't able to help. Not even Beast Boy. She knew that she had no chance of winning.

"Oh, Raven! Pleasure to meet you again! I see your powers are still remarkable. They will serve us well." the chilling voice was heard and a second dark figure appeared next to Terra.

It was Shade.
