Disclaimer: I don't own Raven, Robin, Beast Boy, Starfire, Cyborg, or anyone else for that matter. But you should know that already. HOWEVER I do own Rei and Kiyu, so no taking my characters.

Chapter Two: Rei and Kiyu

Robin laid Raven gently on her bed. Her body was still shaking slightly, and her violet eyes were open, but unbearably blank. Raven… he thought. What did that thing do to you?

"Robin!"
The Boy Wonder turned at Starfire's voice, accompanied by the blaring alarm system. Immediately responding to the earsplitting sound, he rushed towards the door.

For the first time in his life, he paused and looked back.

Raven…

"Who are you!"

We will find you, little blackbird.

"What do you want?"

You.
"Leave! I won't let you find me."
We are all around you, Raven. The Virus has taken its grip, and it will not release you.

But how, demon-child, did you escape Trigon? Your father, the most terrible…let us into your mind…

Fiery pain shot through Raven's mind as the voices probed deeper into her memories.

What gave you hope…?

An image floated to the top of the girl's subconscious.

Robin? His name is Robin?

"Leave him!"

Raven jolted up, drenched with sweat.
"Robin!"

No answer.

"ROBIN!"

Something must have happened…they must have left…

She tried to stand, but a wave of weakness sent her to her knees.
Suddenly, there was a hiss and a clattering in the main room, heralding the return of the Titans.

"Man, that is the last time I am letting BB choose the radio station. It'll be weeks before I can fix the T-Car's speakers!"

"I quite enjoyed the 'Stone' music!"
"That's Rock music, Star."
"Hey Rob, where ya goin'?"

"I have to make sure Raven's ok."

A moment later, Robin appeared in the doorway. Raven was struggling to keep herself from collapsing. "Raven!" he dashed foreword, putting his arms protectively around her shoulders. "What's wrong? What happened?" the girl stared at him for a moment, then "Go…you have to go!"
"Raven? What do you mean…!"

"Go, Robin, and take the others!"

"Why?"

Suddenly, there was a crash and a yell in the main room. Raven gasped. "They're here…"

Robin stiffened. "Who's here? Who are they?"

"They have come for me…Trigon's kin…"
Robin felt a surge of anger. "Whoever they are, we'll get rid of them."
"You cannot stop them."

"I will. I promise."
Robin placed the ailing girl back on her bed, and then sprinted out of the door. "Don't worry Raven. We'll keep them away!"

He reached the main room to see two girls in a fighting stance, facing the other Titans. Both of them has Raven's hourglass figure, but other then that, there seemed no similarities at all. But from what we know of Raven's family, there's almost never a large resemblance.

One of the girls had pale, sliver-white hair, flowing like an icy river down her back. Her eyes were cold and light blue, but she had a gentle face. She was holding a ball carved of diamond, outlined in silver and pearl.

Her sister (It was obvious they were related) was much different. Her hair was only a bit longer then Raven's, and jet black. Her eyes were indigo, and her face was bolder then the other's, with sharper features. She, on the other hand, was holding a black and silver staff, with a sharp point, covered in amethysts. One was wearing all black, and the other, white. Both were accompanied by a wolf—one white and graceful, the other black and fierce-looking.

"Listen, who ever you are," Cyborg was saying. "We're not telling you where to find Raven until you tell us who you are!"

"We're not telling them anything." Said Robin. "They've come to try and capture Raven!"

The girl with black hair glared at him. "Now listen here, you…"
"Why should we?" cried Starfire. "We will not listen to you if you wish to take our friend away!"
The pale girl's eyes seemed to light on fire. "I'm getting impatient." She said. She held up her silvery sphere, glaring at the Titans. "Spirit charge!"

Flowing out of the weapon came an army of ghosts-animals, warriors, a swirling mass of them, slamming the four to the ground. For a moment, none of them could move. "Never stand in my way again."

Her sister frowned. "Didn't think they'd be beaten that easily."

The wolves began sniffing the air, eyes bright. The white one caught the scent first, and began barking, turned in the direction of Raven's room. The girls began to hurry the same way.

"We're not finished with you yet!"
Robin and the others had leapt up. The two girls sighed.

"We can see…

"…You're not going to give up."

Robin smirked slightly. "Sorry to disappoint you."

"Oh, we're not disappointed. In fact…"
"…We haven't had a good challenge in ages!"

Beast Boy held his head in his hands. "I wish they'd stop completing each other's sentences! My head huuuuuurts!"

Robin, who was getting angrier, flicked out one of his Birdarangs, and hurled it at the twins.
The girls smiled and touched each other's hands.

"If you mess with Kiyu and Rei…"

"…You should know you're going to pay!'

Kiyu, the dark-haired one, held up her free hand, pointing it at Robin. He felt a sudden tingling all over his skin. At the same time, something very like his own Bo Staff appeared in her hand. With one swift movement, the Birdarang was knocked aside.

"Where'd that come from!" Cyborg shouted. Then he shrugged. "Well, you may not have been affected by that little toy-"—"HEY!" said Robin indignantly. —"But try my sonic cannon on for size!" with a grin, the half-robot held up his arm and fired the electrical blast.

It hit Kiyu square in the chest.

"BOOYAH!" yelled Cyborg, thrusting his arm into the air.
But something was wrong. The girl was just standing there, smiling slightly. It took a moment for Robin to realize what was going on. "She's absorbing the attack!"
Rei, her pale eyes gleaming, nodded. "Yup, and she's sending it right back to ya!"
Sure enough, a blazing beam of blue light slammed, full force, right back at it's creator.

"Cy!" Yelled Beast Boy. "Hey! No one hurts this changeling's best buddy!" In an instant, the green boy had become one very angry green rhino.

Rei smiled again. "Oh dear. It seems we're about to be gored."

Kiyu nodded in mock sadness. "What could take care of such a dangerous creature?"

"Iki!" Yelled Rei.

"Isei!" Cried Kiyu.

A white tiger.

A black crocodile.

That's what was standing in front of the two intruders.

"A Rhino's two worst enemies." Said Kiyu.

Beast Boy shrank into an ant and scurried away, shrieking in a tiny voice, "Yipe yipe yipe!"

"You will darken our door no longer, cruel ones!" cried Starfire, her eyes glowing green.

"It is our honor to meet the Tamaranian Princess. Your battle with your sister is well known, even in Azarath."

"Do not speak to me as a friend!" the alien cried, and fired a fast and deadly round of starbolts towards the girls. "You will never be my friend!"

"Spirit Shield!" Rei's orb began to glow, again releasing her army of ghosts. This time, though, they surrounded the twins instead of charging.

"Those who are dead can't die again, after all." She said smirking. Then she turned to Kiyu. "You're turn, sister."

Kiyu grinned and…fired glowing blue starbolts right back at Starfire!

"Let me get this straight…" said Beast Boy, no longer an ant, but still cowering. "That one has gadgets like Robin, can copy Star's alien power, fired Cy's sonic cannon back at him, and their wolves are copy-creatures, like me. And that one can summon the dead!" he ponders for a moment. "You know, it's too bad they aren't the good guys…"
Both girls glared at him. "Listen here, green gills-"

Suddenly, a cry of pain echoed from the halls.
The girls whirled around. "She's there!" Cried Kiyu.
"RAVEN!" yelled Robin, trying to run ahead of the twins, but the wolves, Iki and Isei turned and, growling, backed the four towards the wall.

After several minutes, the animals ears pricked up, and alert, they rushed after their mistresses.

The moment he was unguarded, Robin raced towards Raven's room, followed by the other titans.

Don't worry, Raven. I'll never let anyone take you. Never!
