Chapter 9

Raven readied herself for the battle. The demons however seemed to be at ease. Of course Raven already knew their tactics. They always relied on surprise attacks, and now that only she was there to fight them she didn't want to be caught off guard.

"Come now Raven, do you really want to do this the hard way? You have no chance." Shade said with confidence. He and Terra found it amusing how this dark Titan didn't want to give up. But they didn't want to kill her. Yet.

"Maybe. But I won't go down without a fight!" Raven replied. Shade jumped off the rock and landed next to Beast Boy.He quickly pulled out his long, elegant black sword and held it near the green Titan's head so he could strike in a second. Then the darkling looked at the last Titan.

"Still wanna fight?" he teased her. Raven's eyes began to glow red.

"DON'T YOU DARE HURT HIM!" she shouted at him angrily. Shade smiled, he could feel the massive power that was seething inside the girl.

"I won't, if you do a small…service for us." he said. Raven was helpless. She didn't want anything else than to finally get rid of the darkling, but she couldn't survive if BB would die. So she chose the most logical answer.

"Alright. I'll help you."

A couple of hours later

Robin finally woke up. His head hurt like hell. He looked around himself and remembered what happened. They fought Terra, but then she managed to hit him. She was too fast, too precise. He looked around to see if anyone else was there. He stood up and soon found Cyborg and Starfire. Anger arose within him as he saw the girl's forehead was stained by dried blood. He quickly examined the two Titans and sighed with relief when he found out that both of them were alive. He tried to wake them up and after a few seconds they woke up as well.

"What the hell happened?" Cyborg asked a bit angrily.

"Are you guys okay?" Robin asked with concern in his voice.

"My systems seem to be fine." Cyborg ran a quick analysis on himself.

"I am feelingfine as well Robin." the Tamaranian said. At least something made Robin feel a bit better. His friend and his love were okay. But there were still two of his friends missing. He stood up and looked around once again. He noticed a green figure in a purple-black uniform lying on the ground. He walked to him as fast as he could and the others soon followed him.

"Yo, what's with BB?" Cyborg asked with a worried voice.

"He's alive, but I can't wake him up. It seems that he was hit hard on his head and punched in face." Robin said.

"And where is friend Raven? I do not see her." Starfire looked around for the fifth member of the team. Robin took out his communicator and searched for Raven's signal. They soon found her communicator on the ground not far from Beast Boy. The Titans just looked at each other, realizing what had happened with her.

"It seems that Terra captured her." Robin said. At this moment Cyborg finally saw the T-car turned over and in a very bad condition. It seemed as if it was thrown somehow. He reminded himself that if they ever get Raven back he'd make her help him with the repairs.

"It seems that Rae didn't give up." Cyborg said, walked to the car and with the remains of his strength flipped it over.

"Alright, let's go back to the Tower. We need to recover and discuss what to do next." Robin came up with the plan. The others nodded. Starfire helped Robin take the still unconscious Beast Boy into the car. She knew that he wouldn't be happy to find out that his girlfriend was kidnapped.

Some miles away, in Shade's cave

The demons brought Raven into the same cave in which Shade turned Terra to his side. Now the trio stood in a triangle surrounded by burning candles. The ritual was about to begin.

"Ready?" Shade asked coldly. The girls nodded, closed their eyes and began concentrating strongly. Shade was satisfied with their performance. Finally his plans would succeed. And the ironic part of it was, that he had to thank for this the Teen Titans. They had made Terra feel unwanted and thus he could easily gain an ally in her person. Raven was different. She would never join him willingly, although they share the same source of power. She wasimpure, just half of her being was demonic. The other half was human. However it was this difference that gave her most of her strength. And it was her weakness as well. She felt love and cared about others. It was her love that forced her to accept his terms. She couldn't let her lover die.

"Let's begin!" Shade finally said. He closed his eyes and focused on his goal.

"Too bad Raven doesn't really know what is she helping us with. I'm sure she wouldn't do this if she knew our true aims." he thought and a small sarcastic smile appeared on his face.

That day at night, Titans tower, common room

Robin and Starfire sat next to each other on the couch and were looking at the heavy raining outside. It seemed as if even nature mocked them for failing their friend. They were too weak to win. Or Terra was too powerful? No matter how they looked at the problem, it all came down to a single realization: they lost, completely. There was no chance of defeating her. They couldn't do it as a whole team and now one of them was missing. The situation looked pretty grim.

"Do you think we shall see friend Raven again?" Starfire asked sadly. She missed her best friend a lot and couldn't imagine what would she do without her. Although Raven had always been somewhat closed to everyone around her Starfire knew that deep insideRaven cared deeply for her friends.

"I don't know Star. I really don't know." Robin knew that it was wrong to say this, but not even he could think of a way to rescue Raven. He knew he should try to comfort Starfire, but at the moment he was unable. Everything seemed to be lost.

"I hope she is alright. Friend Beast Boy was very sad when we told him what happened. I think he would feel very hurt if friend Raven…" Starfire said, but was unable to end the sentence. She didn't want to even think about what might have happened to Raven. She tried to hold onto the last hope, that maybe her friend was still alive. A small tear rolled down her usually happy face. Robin noticed and gently wiped the tears from her eyes.

"Don't worry Star, we'll find her and she will be fine. I promise." Robin reassured his love and hugged her.

"We will find her." he whispered.

In the meantime, Beast Boy's room

A Titan sat in the room. His heart was in pain, his soul was broken. He had failed. He had failed to protect her. He felt guilty for what happened. If he had been faster, stronger, better, then maybe…maybe she would be now here with him. Instead he sat on his bed aloneand looked at the mournful pounding of the rain on his window. He felt as if he sat there for an eternity, each moment spent without her, without knowing where she was felt to be a lifetime. He didn't cry. He didn't want to. She wasn't dead! She couldn't be! And still in the back of his mind a voice was trying to convince him. That she had died. And it was his fault. Somebody knocked on the door, but Beast Boy sat in silence.

"BB, can I come in?" the voice of his half-robot friend was heard. Beast Boy didn't answer. The door slowly opened and Cyborg looked inside.

"You okay BB?" he asked. The changeling just sighed. Cyborg stepped into the messy room and closed the door behind him. He came closer and sat on the lower part of the bunk bed, while BB remained on the upper part.

"Want to talk?" Cyborg asked quietly.

"What is there to talk about? She is surely dead by now and it's all my fault!" Beast Boy said and Cyborg heard clearly that he was trying to keep himself from crying.

"Don't say that! I'm sure she is still alive and okay. She would never leave you." Cyborg tried to help his friend.

"But…but you saw Terra! She has changed into a…demon. She has surely killed Raven!" Beast Boy began to cry quietly.

"And I wasn't there to stop her! I had failed Rae! It's my fault that she died!" Beast Boy was blaming himself. Cyborg didn't know what to say. BB seemed to beconvinced Raven was dead.

"C'mon BB, you know Raven. She's strong! She could beat Terra anytime! Especially now that you two…" Cybrog stopped speaking. He didn't want to remind his friend of his relationship with the dark Titan now that she was gone.

"I'm sorry BB. All I want to say is, that Raven's surely fine. She's just not the type to give up, and you know that." Cybrog said. He hoped that his words would at least have some effect on Beast Boy. And it seemed that maybe it made him a bit calmer, as he didn't try to argue with him again.

"You think that…it is possible…that she might still be alive?" Beast Boy asked, while crying. Cyborg felt some relief. At least Beast Boy was now regaining some hope.

"I'm absolutely sure. She wouldn't let you down!" Cyborg said. Beast Boy looked at the rain outside. He lay down on his bed and buried his face into the pillow and continued weeping there. Cybrog decided to leave his friend. He knew that Beast Boy's wound hurt too much and there was nothing he could do to help him. Cyborg stood up and went to the door. He opened it and looked at his friend once again. He was still lying on his bed, still crying. Cyborg sighed, exited the room and closed the door.

"Poor BB." he said to himself as he walked away from his friend's room.

"Please fogive me Rae!" Beast Boy cried.

The rain had stopped.

The tears continued to fall.
