DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the characters within this story, with the minor exception of Dnomyar, who is once again, appearing in this special chapter.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hello all, this is the Portal Mage's Special Chapter. By special I mean, truly long chapter dedicated to a single event. Certain events in this story are entirely false, such as Raven's history. It must be changed though, in the interest of the story. You can understand why though, Raven's history is entirely too blank. It needs to be different, mainly due to the insignificant fact that these Teen Titans are based on the show, not the comics. Thanks to all of you who have reviewed thus far, this is dedicated to you.
ATLANTIC OCEAN- Raven's Island- June 18th, 8:26 A.M.
It was time. After they had all taken a nap, Cyborg, Raven, Terra, Ron, and Zelda were all recharged and ready to face down the evils in Raven's mind.
"Now, I won't be able to help you at all. I'll have to be ready to eradicate my father's influence. Now, since we are permanently defeating my father's influence, you'll have to go through several memories of mine, there you'll have to defeat the leftover evils of my past. Such as the Dr. Light incident.", both Cyborg and Raven shuddered at that. "After you have defeated my father's influence, it'll all pool together, forming a shadow of himself. That'll be where I can finally help out. I'll have to hold him while you all take him out. Then the hard part begins."
"Um… what is the 'hard part'?", asked Ron.
"You'll have several tests to go through, if you fail, your evil leaves you and enters me. If you fail, you'll become trapped inside of my mind forever. If you lose, Trigon will be resurrected.", replied Raven unhappily.
"Okay then, I'm ready! Boo-Yah!", shouted Cyborg. Inwardly though, he was very worried. If he lost the final test, would Raven live? Cyborg wondered if he had any evil left inside of him. Was he programmed to be good?
"Woo! We are so gonna win!", gushed Terra. She knew that no evil existed inside of her. She was an avatar after all, she was only a tool to protect the earth. That thought gave her hope, she had to win, for the earth.
"Can we hurry?", muttered Zelda impatiently. Zelda was slightly worried, what if Sheik wouldn't work with her? She may not be able to survive the whole thing. 'Don't worry Zelda', stated Sheik, 'We can do this. Besides, I want some of this 'Harry'.' Zelda rolled her eyes in annoyance.
"A better idea, can we actually do this?", asked Ron. He was afraid. Even more afraid then he was of Voldemort. There were no adults here, they had no chance to win, none at all. And while he feared spiders, he knew that demons were millions of times worse. He had always heard that all demons were bad. He knew Raven wasn't too bad, but she must feel the urge to kill everyone.
"Yes. Now… look into this mirror. I'll prepare.", stated Raven. She closed her eyes and began her meditating. The mirror appeared from nowhere and Cyborg caught it. He showed it to the others. They all looked inside the mirror. Then they all screamed as they were being sucked into it.
The group of four were in an odd place. It was nearly dark, but there were a group of people softly singing nearby. It sounded as if they were mourning. "It has begun.", whispered one of the men. "She truly is the one, we must send her away. She can no longer stay here. We have trained as best we can, but she will destroy us anyway, her Father will make sure of that."
Suddenly they heard the crying of a little girl. "I-I don't want to leave!", she protested. A loud smack was heard and the girl stopped crying.
"Shut up!", demanded the man imperiously. "You are leaving. Have you forgotten about your dear old daddy? You want your emotions loose, don't you? You make me sick!" The group of four heard several more smacks and some cracking. They looked at each other in horror, it wasn't who they thought, was it?
Ron stepped forward in anger. Raven might have been keeping him captive, but he still liked her, she had saved him after all. He ran forward and saw little Raven, huddled on the ground, crying. His anger grew even more. He launched himself at the man. The man who, he just realized, had four red-eyes. Ron gulped, and grabbed the man. He then began to punch Raven's father over and over.
Cyborg and the others came as soon as they had seen the four red-eyes. Zelda transformed into Sheik and threw several Deku spears at the man. Terra had grabbed Ron and encased Raven's father with rock, halting Sheik's attacks. Terra then pressed the rock together, crushing the man.
They all heard the loud squish from inside the rock and winced. Ron went over and looked at little Raven. Little Raven looked up at him with wide eyes. "What…?", she croaked. Ron looked at her sadly, unable to answer. Little Raven nodded and replied, her eyes going white, "You may proceed." Then a portal opened behind Raven. The group looked at it in surprise. Is this how the mission was going to be? They wondered.
After they all went through the portal, they all realized that they were in a city. A dark city by the looks of it. "Little freak, wouldn't give us what we wanted!", snarled one man.
"Gee Mike, maybe she wasn't a whore, ever think of that?", sneered another man worriedly.
"Shut it Stan.", said the other. The group instantly knew they were talking about Raven. "I'm gonna kill her so she won't never tell."
"I don't think that's such a good idea.", replied Stan. The group began to run towards the dark alley.
"Fool! You see? Peoples is coming! She have to die now!", snarled Mike again. The group heard a gun being cocked. The group began to attack as soon as they arrived. Mike's head was smashed by a large boulder, and tore apart by a Sonic Boom, that was from Terra and Cyborg. Stan was stunned and tied up from Ron and Sheik.
"Wha…? Who…?", wondered Stan. The little girl slowly stood up again.
"It's you again.", the little girl pointed out. The group of four nodded. "He should die too."
"Wha…? I was trying to help you!", spluttered the man.
Cyborg looked at Raven, "Did he hurt you too?"
Raven looked at Cyborg. "No, but he held me down."
"Do you really want him dead?", asked Cyborg, he aimed his cannon at Stan.
Tears glistened in Raven's eyes. "No. And thank you for saving me." Another portal appeared from behind her. Ron walked up to the little girl and repaired her clothes with his wand. "Thank you.", whispered the girl again. They left the man tied up.
After they had stepped through the portal they were teleported into another dark city. "What were you doing skulking around child?", hissed a familiar voice.
"No….", whispered Cyborg in shock. "Not… him. Not… Dent."
"Dent?", wondered Ron. Cyborg shook his head though. He motioned for them to get a move on.
"Well?", asked Harvey Dent a.k.a. Two-Face, once more.
"Well… I heard that there was free food over here….", replied the still small girl.
"I'm afraid, my dear child, that there is no food over here… at least not food for humans. I think you heard that there was bait… am I right?", asked the man in a cold voice.
"Yes.", replied the now hopeful child.
"Well… the bait is for the Bat, and I'm guessing you'll be good bait.", muttered Two-Face.
"Not so fast!", snarled Cyborg. He shot a Sonic Cannon at the man, totally obliterating the man.
"Whoa….", commented Ron in shock. He looked at the steaming remains of Two-Face in wonder.
"You guys again?", replied Raven in exasperation. She then smiled and a portal appeared. "It's almost over….", she whispered.
The group went through yet another portal. "What's the matter? Afraid of the light?", crowed an insane sounding man.
"Dr. Light.", muttered Cyborg. And sure enough. There was Dr. Light attacking Raven. Suddenly though, Raven started to get angry.
"Raven, no!", shouted Ron and Terra at the same moment. Raven looked at them and after seeing another Cyborg she fainted. The other Titans looked at them in wonder, but quickly defeated Dr. Light.
"That was… easy.", muttered Sheik. And sure enough, another portal opened up.
"There should only be one more, remember Cyborg, when Slade was influencing me? I- I taunted Raven badly. You'll probably have to k-kill me.", Terra sighed and continued. "I know its not me, but only a memory of me… but… it's gonna be hard to see myself before… before Gaia helped me."
"Hey, don't worry about it Terra, you'll be fine.", replied Ron unsurely. He looked at the tall blonde girl. She had tears streaming down her face. Ron tentatively touched her arm. "Terra, its okay. Whatever crimes you've committed in the past… they're in the past, and you should leave them there."
"Come on.", muttered Sheik as he walked past the two.
Ron did a double take. "I thought that was a girl!", he muttered in surprise. Terra giggled sadly, and then they entered the portal, Cyborg right behind them.
Sure enough, there was Terra taunting Raven. The real Terra turned her head sadly. "Let me deal with this, please.", she asked. The others nodded. "Thanks." Terra rushed over to her other self and began to talk to her.
The others watched in fascination as the real Terra convinced the memory Terra to apologize to Raven. Unfortunately Raven was still angry. She wanted to know why Terra had allowed herself to be taken like that. The real Terra told Raven about Beast Boy and his anger. Raven slowly began to realize the truth of what had happened, one too many misunderstandings. Terra helped Raven up and the memory Terra asked her to come with the two of them so they could save the others, but the real Terra had to refuse the offer. Raven and memory Terra shrugged and left to save the others.
"Way to go Terra! You did it!", cheered Cyborg happily. Ron nodded his assent, and Sheik agreed. "Crap, I just realized, if this is the last 'bad thing' we have to fight the shadow of Raven's father!", muttered Cyborg. He looked worriedly at the last portal and quickly walked through, the others following close behind him.
"Hurry!", groaned Raven. The group saw that she was already hard at work trying to hold her Father's Influence. It was a large bubbling mass of darkness. It was heavily contrasted by the pure whiteness of the area.
Cyborg instantly began to use his cannon. Sheik began to use ancient Hylian magic. Terra's powers were absolutely useless, so she had to hang back. Ron didn't know what to do so he used some spells to try and incapacitate the strange mass.
The tactics weren't working though, and Raven was starting to weaken. "Terra! Use your… powers!", grunted Raven. She was starting to lose ground against the dark mass of evil energy. "Do it!", ground out Raven.
"But….", started Terra. Then she realized what she had to do. "Right." She closed her eyes and raised her arms into the air. She became surrounded with a golden light. The small particles of dirt that were on everyone's bodies formed into a ball in front of Terra. She opened her eyes, and they also shone with a golden light. She hurled the ball of dirt at the energy mass. It entered the center, but nothing else happened.
"Cyborg… aim… rock….", Raven stated, the dark mass was starting to fight back. Cyborg understood what Raven meant and already charged and shot a Sonic Boom at the rock. "Ron… Exploding… Hex!", she shouted, her foe was starting to weaken. Ron did as Raven asked, and sent out an Exploding Hex towards the rock. It struck with the Sonic Boom and created a huge explosion. The dark mass of evil energy shattered, leaving a huge mess of dark energy.
"Okay, this is where it gets rough!", shouted Raven. She had to shout, the energy had already begun swirling around like a tornado. Then, the energy spread into four separate beams and entered the four heroes. Terra was thrown against the wall, as were the others. Raven went and gathered their bodies, ready to heal and banish the rest of the evil.
CYBORG'S TEST
Cyborg was in a strange gothic room. Everything was shaded black, as if the owner was fascinated with the color. It seemed that he was in a library type room. The bookshelves were covered with cobwebs. And Cyborg could swear that he could hear the haunting melody of a pipe organ. He looked around carefully, he didn't want to miss anything.
"Hey Stone, how are you?", came the husky voice of a certain pink-haired girl. Cyborg turned around, and sure enough, it was Jinx. She walked closer to him, "How are you?". She reached up and touched his chest. His chest? Yes, he was in his real body, like before the accident with Two-Face. "What's wrong Stone?", asked Jinx. She began to rub his chest.
Cyborg was reveling in the fact that he had his true body back. And he felt when Jinx began to touch him. He had true nerves! No sensors, no metal, just real human flesh. "Stone?", whined Jinx. She pulled him down and breathed heavily in Cyborg's ear. "So, Vic, what do you want from me? You want me to…love you?", asked Jinx. She chuckled and licked Cyborg's neck.
"Whoa, no. I know what this is! You're Raven's father! You just want to absorb all of my evil emotions. Like lust.", realized Cyborg.
"Victor?", asked Jinx in a tiny voice. "Why are you yelling at me? What did I do wrong?" Cyborg felt a flicker of doubt. "I mean… I thought that since today was your birthday….", Jinx began to sob.
Cyborg was totally confused, hadn't he passed the test? He awkwardly reached out and patted the girl's back gently. "Aw, I'm sorry, I-I was confused. I was, er, thinking of something. I'm sorry."
Jinx looked at him blankly. Then she stated, "Objective achieved. Compassion to a potential enemy." Then the voice grew angry, "Damn you Cyborg! You could have had your real body and all the pretty women you'd ever need! Now you'll die!" Jinx grew in size, transforming into what must be a demon. The demon looked vaguely familiar, yes, it was Trigon, Raven's Father!
Cyborg leaped away from the evil demon. He went into a fighting stance, and, sure enough, Cyborg's cyber body was back. He didn't mind just then though, he would need it for the fight. He shot a Sonic Boom at Trigon. Trigon laughed and caught the beam. Cyborg smirked and caused it to self-destruct. Trigon was blasted back.
"I don't think so!", sneered the demon. He opened his mouth and shot red beam after red beam at Cyborg. Cyborg dodged most, but was hit with the last three beams. Cyborg felt his metal plating rip off. Just like Brother Blood. And then it hit him, he'd use his Mystic powers. He hadn't told anyone, but he could still feel the magic pouring through his veins. He had lied to Beast Boy, but it had been necessary, then he hadn't known what had happened, and he had needed to study it.
"I hope you're ready!", snarled the demon, he smashed Cyborg's body, causing Cyborg to scream out in pain. Cyborg was surrounded with a blue aura, it brought his smashed body parts together, reforming him. He smirked at Trigon's shock.
"You can try to break my body all you want, but as I told Brother Blood, you can't break my spirit!", shouted Cyborg as he proceeded to defeat Trigon.
Finally Trigon began to disappear, "Blood? He failed me…." Cyborg had no idea what that meant, but he ignored it. Trigon must have been crazy. Suddenly, Cyborg opened his eyes, and Raven was right over him.
TERRA'S TEST
Terra was standing to her full height of twelve feet tall. She let her dirty hair frame her face as she looked around. "No….", she whispered. She was in the hall of mirrors. The very place where….
"There you are.", snarled the accusing voice. "I can't believe you! I actually liked scum like you?", it was Beast Boy of course. The voice from her nightmares.
"Beast Boy, I can….", she was cut off as she flew towards one of the mirrors. Beast Boy had slapped her…?
"I don't want to hear your sniveling excuse, you disgusting….", he stopped talking as he viciously began to attack her.
"Stop it!", cried Terra. Why was this happening? Why would Beast Boy do this to her? Unless….
"Unless what, Terra?", sneered Beast Boy. "What? Surprised I could hear your damn mumbling? You make me sick, did you forget I have good ears?", snarled Beast Boy. He transformed into a gorilla and began to beat upon Terra once more.
"No! You aren't Beast Boy, and you won't beat me!", cried out Terra. She used the dirt on her body to form a protective casing of rock.
"Very good Terra, I'm not Beast Boy. In actuality, I'm Slade….", the gorilla changed into the menacing villain known as Slade. Slade looked at Terra predatorily.
"Y-you're not S-Slade!", stammered Terra.
Slade stepped closer to Terra, touching her face. "My dear Terra… you really need to learn manners. I am Slade, and I will have your head by tonight. And there is nothing you can do to stop it."
"You're wrong Slade, I will triumph, and you will die.", snarled Terra. "You have abused Mother Earth for far too long! I shall defeat you!" She began to glow yellow, and large chunks of dirt appeared from the dust in the air. "See? I only have to will the earth to help me! You tried to make me master it, and that was where the mistake was! You can't own the earth, Slade! You can only ask to use it!"
Pillars of rock shot at Slade, attempting to crush him. Slade dodged the rock carefully, even going so far as to jump on the pillars. Suddenly, flame shot from Slade's hands, aiming straight for Terra!
Terra brought the dirt from her body plating to absorb the blow, but it changed to dust. "Damn you Slade! Mother Earth will conquer you!", she screamed. Suddenly though, her body erupted, large rocky bumps appeared all over her, making her look like a natural golem. Her hair remained, but now it looked stringier, like roots.
"Terra?", asked the worried Slade. Now, realize, that when I say worried, he most assuredly wasn't worried about Terra.
Terra's body was infused with the power of Mother Earth itself. Terra felt empowered. "Now I truly am Earth's Avatar! Prepare yourself Trigon! I will destroy your influence!", stated Terra. Her voice was calm, but stubborn. She was truly Earth reborn. She lifter her rocky arm and swung it at Slade. It stretched out and crushed his ribs.
Trigon slipped out of his guise. "Grrr… how did you know who I was?", he snarled. There was fear in his voice now.
"Four times will you be conquered, demon. Blue, yellow, red, and grey. And you shall see your end.", and then Terra crushed the influence. And then, Terra opened her eyes.
RONALD WEASLEY'S TEST
Ron looked around, doing his darnedest not to think, because so far, every time he had been thinking, something bad happened to him! It was always like that though, first year he thought about chess, he gets himself knocked out. Second year he thought of the Chamber of Secrets, he gets himself all… well, that wasn't so bad. Third year though, he finds out his rat is an evil madman, and he gets his leg bitten. Fourth year… well, that year had been entirely bad.
He sighed, he was thinking again, he had to control his thoughts, or else bad things will happen. He looked around and couldn't help thinking. He was in the same are where Hermione had been kidnapped. "Crap.", he stated. Hermione, he had nearly forgotten about her. He still needed to find her.
"Ronald Bilius Weasley!", snarled an extremely voice. It was his mother! "And where have you been? We've been looking all over for you! Do you have any idea how much I worried for you?", his mother began to sob. "You were just gone! Like poor Harry! And you took Hermione with you? Do you have any idea how upset her parents are going to be?", his mother finished her tirade and glared at Ron.
"Er….", muttered Ron. He didn't mean to upset her. All he had been doing was trying to survive… against…. "You're not my mom!", he stated.
"Pardon?", demanded the doppelganger. The image of his mother was perfect, and if he wasn't so sure, he'd think it actually was his mom.
"I said, you're not my mum!", snarled Ron. "So stop pretending to be her!" And while Ron didn't feel guilty about yelling at his mom, Trigon knew exactly who he'd feel guilty about yelling to.
Trigon shifted forms, he became the likeness of Hermione. He transformed into a broken Hermione, a Hermione that looked bedraggled and hurt. Her hair was matted with grime, and she was bleeding from sores.
"Ron… why didn't you look for me Ron? Those creatures… they did… terrible things….", the fake-Hermione began sobbing, and she ran to Ron, and grabbed him. "They… they tore my clothes Ron.", and suddenly, the girl's clothes were ripped and torn. Ron however knew that they hadn't been torn the previous moment.
"Cut it out!", he shouted at her. Hermione cringed away as if she had been slapped. "Oh stop it! I know bloody well that you are not Hermione! Isn't that right… Trigon?", Hermione frowned at him.
"But… Ron, I'm not Trigon, I'm Herm… Her-my-uh-knee.", Trigon had stumbled over Hermione's rather odd name. "Oh shit.", Trigon stated, shifting back into his demon form.
"Damn straight you bloody demon! How dare you pretend to be my family and friend? How dare you attempt to confuse me?", Ron was enveloped with a red light, surrounding his entire body, including his wings. His red aura shot off several small beams of fire at Trigon.
Trigon saw his green blood dripping down his sides…. "So… I'm losing…. This is what it feels like… to die….", whispered Trigon, he was about to speak again but he disappeared. Ron breathed heavily. His fiery aura slowly died down, and suddenly, he awoke to see Raven standing over him. He opened his mouth to speak.
ZELDA AND SHEIK'S TEST
Sheik looked around. And he saw herself. "Zelda?", he asked.
"What the?", wondered Zelda as she stared at herself. "Wow… I look good!"
"I'd say so.", responded Sheik, as he looked herself up and down.
"Whatever.", replied Zelda unhappily. "So… what's next? We already defeated the old memory thingies."
"Weren't you listening?", asked Sheik exasperatedly. When Zelda shook her head Sheik responded, "Well, genius, we get to take care of the evil within ourselves as well."
"That's good, I was getting sick of you.", replied Zelda airily.
"What's your problem?", snarled Sheik. "I thought that you were the holder of the 'Wisdom' piece of Triforce?"
"Whoa… that is so, below the belt. ", replied Zelda snootily.
"Zelda, you are a girl, you don't have a belt.", replied the angry Sheik.
"Why you…!", snarled Zelda. "I've been having a terrible time! First I get captured by Ganondorf, then I think I'm going to get raped by this Harry fellow, and there were you, egging it on! Why'd I put my hormones into you?", sneered Zelda, though tears escaped her eyes. "I'm just sick of this whole mess! Why did that damned Portal Mage drag me into this? What did I ever do that was so horrible to deserve this?"
"Zelda-", started Sheik, but he was interrupted.
"No, I'm not finished. All I wanted to do was get Link to finally admit his feelings for me, and suddenly I'm in this crazy-ass world with only you for company. But I gave you too many of my hormonal-ness and all you ever want is to get laid! You know what though?"
"Zelda-", Sheik tried to interrupt.
"No, I'm going to finish!" By this time tears were streaming down Zelda's face. "All I want is a friend, that's why I made you. After Link had told me what had happened, I decided to make you, I wanted another friend, but all you care about is sex!"
"Zelda, he's here….", stated Sheik. And sure enough, there was Trigon. He was standing there, staring blankly at Zelda. His yellow eyes began to twitch. Zelda wiped her eyes and glared at Trigon.
"What do you want? Can't you see that I need to talk with Sheik. Alone?", asked Zelda. Trigon didn't respond. "Is he broken?", asked Zelda.
"Puny mortal! I am not broken! I am just shocked at your pathetic amounts of evil you and friends have! First the synthetic boy defeated me, he had only three percent evil in his heart. Then the Earth Avatar defeated me, no evil at all! Then the wizard boy conjured some powerful sorcery to defeat me. He had the most, fifteen percent. I mean honestly, how am I supposed to take over the world with so many good people on it?"
"Uh….", droned Zelda, she was bored of his little rant. "I'm bored. You're boring. Can we get this over with?"
"Absolutely not. I refuse to go on with your test. I refuse to die! Owww! What're you doing?", Trigon originally was yelling, but he slipped into a tiny whine, due to the fact that Zelda had reached up and grabbed Trigon by the ear. Sheik began to laugh.
"No! You interrupted my beautiful speech for your inane rambling? I don't think so! Sheik is going to kick your ass!", Zelda said matter-of-factly.
"Wha…? Me, kick his ass?", reiterated Sheik in a small panic. "But I can't…."
"You can and you will. Just use the Sheikah magic. I would, but I gave it all to you.", replied Zelda with a smirk.
"Damnit! Why don't you just unmake me?", snarled Sheik. He turned to the fearful Trigon. Trigon was looking at Sheik apprehensively, as if worried. "Demon, I know you're not scared of me, but, I'm gonna defeat you!" Trigon cowered. "You may think that you are all-powerful, but I will succeed! I have to, for my friend, Zelda.", Sheik stood tall, hugging himself, as he made his pledge.
"Hey Sheik, I think you bored him to death.", stated Zelda amusedly. And sure enough, Trigon was dead, although it was due not to Sheik's boring pledge, but to Trigon's own claws. It seemed as though he hadn't wanted yet another failure on his dirty, demonic hands.
Suddenly, The two fused together as they awoke.
RAVEN'S STORY
It was nearly over, thought Raven, soon the world will forever be rid of Trigon. She had had her friends do it because she had to much evil in her heart. All those years of containing the monster inside of her had left its mark. She was still half-demon, she still had slight demonic urges, she just now was able to control them.
She had been waiting alertly, ready for when her friends would awake, ready to help them if Trigon had taken control over their bodies. Cyborg had been the first to awaken, his body was enveloped with a blue aura that stayed with him even when he was awake. The aura went away, but you could glimpse it through the corner of your eye.
Terra had been the next, but her body had mutated. She became more rocklike, it was an amazing transformation, but Raven had first wanted to know why this transformation had occurred in the first place. Raven was quite happy to hear that Trigon had not taken over Terra, but Raven was confused about that, why should she care?
Ronald Weasley had been the next to awaken. Before he had though, his body had erupted in flame. Raven was worried about that, but Terra had told her about the Avatar's and how the elements had reawakened. Raven wasn't entirely sure what that was about, but she was sure she would have enough time to find out.
And then Zelda had woken up. None of them had any traces of Trigon. None at all. That in itself was overly suspicious, and judging by Zelda's story, something was… off. The only question was who was Trigon currently possessing? Raven wasn't sure, but she knew that it wasn't Ron or Terra, and she only knew that due to their Avatar nature. Avatar's weren't allowed to be 'evil'.
So, Trigon's influence had been defeated, but not destroyed. And Raven was worried that he would take control of her. Because if he did… well, due to the Mirari and the 'Big-Bang Gas' she was stronger than ever. So now all she'd have to do was watch very carefully….
