1Moon Light Terror
(This is a chapter that replaces the Brit Boy Chapter, cause that one sucked, and was kinda a filler, but I like this one better, and just so you all know, I am using the Oozaru from Dragonball Z as a part of this chapter. And before you call me an Ass hole for not coming up with my own Idea, I want you to know that this is an essential part of the story, and will be a mandatory part to read. Also the DBZ Oozaru and My Oozaru will not have the same origin. Also, in no way, shape and or form does this story link with anything that isn't D.C. comics related, so this has nothing to do with DBZ, thank you)
Raven's room. A place of mysticism and wander, to some a place of terror, but to Changeling, a place of enjoyment. He and Raven are always together in her room. He is the only on she lets in there constantly, but, not unless she is supervising him. Changeling doesn't know why, but that's the rules with Raven.
Changeling walked through the halls of Titans Tower, clearing his thoughts. You may find it funny, but every so often, even Changeling needs to think a little. Right now, the one thing Changeling had on his mind, was his wedding with Raven, coming up only a month after Nightwing and Starfire's. He remembers when he proposed to her.
Flashback
As Changeling and Raven walked from the front door of the T-Rocket, they walked back to their room, as did all the other Titans. As Raven entered she heard the door shut and saw Changeling standing at it with a smile on his face. Raven gave a small smile back to him. Changeling's smile didn't fade.
"Um... okay, what are you smiling at" Raven asked as she looked around the room. "Is this another practical joke" She asked. Changeling walked over to her, and took her hand, then guided her to the bed.
"No, I just love you sooo much." Changeling said. Raven gave him a confused look.
"Yeah, I know" Raven said in a matter of facty sort of way. Changeling's gaze never fell off of her. what's he up to she wandered.
"You know, Raven... I want to be with you" He said. She gave him a weird look, then her eyes fixed on him, gazing into his, he cold eyes grew warm and she understood him. "Forever" he said. "Raven Roth" He started as he got on one knee and pulled a velvet case out of his pocket. "Will you do me the honor, of marrying me" He said as he opened the case, and inside a beautiful diamond ring, with two emerald ravens on the sides of it. Raven gasped.
"Changeling... I can't..." She said, he frowned. "Believe this, your... your... oh, to hell with it, of course I will" She said. Raven couldn't have been happier, and when she pinned him to the bed after slipping the ring on, Changeling could tell.
End Flashback
Changeling smiled as he approached Raven's door, he thought he might just pop it. As he got to the door he put his ear to it... and heard no sound. Since he couldn't just barge in, he knocked... no answer.
"Hmm... Maybe she didn't hear me" He said as he knocked again. Nothing. I wander why she isn't answering He thought. I have an Idea, I'll just take a little peak He thought to himself as a mischievous smile crossed his face. He then transformed into a fly, and entered the room.
Raven's room... not much had changed over the years. It still had the whole creepy, gothic look to it, but Changeling had convinced Raven to at least open her curtains a little. As Changeling morphed back to normal inside the room, he shivered.
"Wow, it's a lot creepier in here without her with me" He said as he looked around for her. "Raven!" he called out, but no answer. He checked everywhere, closet, bathroom, even under the bed, but nothing. "Hmm... where is she" He asked himself. "Oh well, I'm sure she won't be mad if I borrow a book or something" He said as he looked at the bookcase. Hundreds of books filled it's shelves, and Changeling promised he would read at least one of them to Raven a while back. Time to fulfill his end of the bargain.
"Which one, which one" Changeling asked himself as he filed through the stacks upon stacks of books he got from the shelves, then he saw it. A darkish green one, different from the others, because of it's color. "Hmm, maybe this one has something in it" He said to himself as he picked it up and flipped through the pages. On each page was the name and a picture of a creature, that's what Changeling thought anyway.
Then, he got to a page that was marked with a Teen Titans collectable book mark the bookstores sell. Changeling saw the mark and flipped to the page. As the pages fell flat against eachother as he got to the page, a rumbling sound was heard. What was that He thought. Probably nothing He told himself. But that soon changed, a bright light admitted from the page, and Changeling was soon enveloped in it. As the light got brighter and brighter the Changeling heard a loud roar. As the book shook violently, Changeling felt an eruption of heat flow through his body, then nothing, he black out.
Changeling stood in the middle of an island. "Where am I" he asked. He started to walk toward the sea, placed his hand in it. It turned red... blood red. "What the" Changeling said. Then he turned to start running and saw Titans Tower, in ruins. "What's happening" He asked himself before hearing a large creature roar. Changeling turned and saw a huge monster, not just a monster, this creature was gigantic, and hairy, with blood red, glowing eyes. It reached down and grabbed Changeling in it's mighty grasp before lifting him to his face and opening it's jaws.
"No, Stop, Don't do it" Changeling yelled. He tried to transform, but he couldn't. The monster brought him closer, and brought his mighty Jaw down upon Changeling and...
"Ahhhh" Changeling gasped as he awoke, hot, sweaty, and afraid. "What a nightmare" he said as he looked at his hands, then his surroundings, was the medical room of Titans Tower. And beside him was Raven, asleep in a chair. Changeling smiled and stroked he soft cheek.
"Raven" he said nudging her gently. Raven started to open her eyes and before her, she saw Changeling smiling at her, his soft eyes gazed into her lavender ones.
"Changeling!" she shouted as she wrapped her arms around him. "Oh thank God your okay" she said to him as she let tears fall from he eyes onto his shoulder.
"It's okay, shhh" he said as he stroked her back. Raven looked up to him, but saw that he was staring off into space, totally space out. Raven gave him a concerned look.
"Honey, what's wrong" She said. He didn't respond, just kept staring at nothing. "Changeling" she said shaking him, pulling him out of his trance.
"Um... oh, yeah" He said. She stared into his eyes.
"What wrong" Raven asked as she got out of his grip and sat in front of him. He frowned.
"Raven... the thing it... I think... " he started.
"Yes" she asked.
"I think, I have"
"Have what"
"Gas" He finished smiling and laughing. She groaned at him, and smacked him in the head with a pillow.
"Very funny" She said as she stood up. "If you need me, I'll be in the living room" She said walking to the door. When she opened it 5 pairs of ears were standing there, listening in on Changeling and Her's conversation. All the Titans laughed nervously as Raven sweat dropped.
"Um... we wanted to know how Changeling was" Nightwing said saving the group from a lecture on privacy from Raven... again.
"He's still his annoying, immature self" Raven said walking away with anger in her eyes. The other Titans looked toward Changeling as he smiled at them.
"Gee, what did you do to her, she looks pissed" Electro asked. The Titans walked into the medical room as Cyborg checked Changeling's physical status.
"So, how is he" Nightwing asked. Cyborg looked at the schematics confusingly.
"He's fine, in fact, he's better than fine" Cyborg said handing over the papers to Nightwing. Electro and Reese looked over his shoulder at the results. Starfire was talking to Changeling.
"These can't be right" Nightwing said as he looked at the readings. Electro and Reese looked at eachother with confused looks, little question marks over their heads.
"What can't be right" Electro asked. Reese nodded.
"Yeah, all I see are little squiggles" She said pointing to the papers. Nightwing turned to them.
"These readings say that Changeling's muscle tone and heart reading are 25 higher that usual. This is impossible considering that Changeling has been unconscious for two days, and that... " Nightwing stopped to see Reese and Electro were behind him talking to Changeling. "And that you two aren't listening" He finished as he too walked over to Changeling.
"So, can you tell us what happen, aside from being unconscious in Raven's room" Cyborg asked.
"I... was looking for Raven, so I want into her room when she didn't answer her door, then, I got one of her books, so I had something to do while I waited for her." Changeling said. The others nodded as they listened. "Then, I opened one, and there was a flash, and... I woke up here" He finished, leaving out the dream portion.
"Is that all" Nightwing asked. Changeling nodded.
"Yeah, that's it"
"Okay, why don't you go to your room, get some rest." Nightwing said before he and Cyborg left the room. Electro came over hand gave Changeling a thumbs up, and Star gave him a hug. As those two left, Reese stayed behind.
"So, Changeling" Reese started as she walked around his bed with her hands behind her back. "What did you do to Raven to make her so mad, hmm" She asked. Her face inches from his, a smile planted on her face.
"I didn't do anything" He said crossing his arms.
"Oh really, then why did she storm out of here like that" She asked, This caught Changeling off guard.
"Um... it was her time of the month" he answer/asked. She smiled and sat on his bed.
"No, that was last month, because when you two had sex, you were using protection" She said in a matter of factish sort of way.
"Um... yeah.. Hehehe, that" He stammered.
"So, really, what was it" She said sitting beside him wrapping her arm around his shoulders and poking his cheek.
"It... was nothing" He said. Finally, he gave up. "I said I had gas when she asked how I was... but I was just joking" He said shamefully.
"I see, welp, in case you want to know, she didn't eat, drink, or until a few hours ago, sleep until you woke up" Reese said. Then darted for the door and with a 'bye' and a wink left. Changeling sat in bed thinking about what she said, when an image of the monster appeared in his mind, roaring. He shuttered. Then he got up, and left for his room.
Upon Arriving to his room Changeling lied down on his bed and closed his eyes, trying to sleep, but the beast, the horrible creature appeared again. Looking scarier and much mor edeadly than ever. Changeling's eyes quickly darted open as he stood up sweating, when he noticed something, his window was open.
Raven arrived in her room and saw the pile of books that had yet been picked up. She walked over to the books and saw that one was still open. She bent down to pick it up, and smelt the burnt tofu and animal on it, Changeling had definitely been messing with it. As Raven inspected the book closer, she saw that a page was bent, and opened to it. As she saw the page that Changeling has previously saw, her eyes widened in fear and she dropped the book. "No" she whimpered as her hands trembled and she left her room.
Changeling walked over to the opened window and was about to close it, when he noticed something out of the corner of his eye. The Moon.
"Hmm, the moon is full tonight" He said to himself. "It sure it pretty, and there are no clouds near it" He said as he stared directly at the moon, in a trance like state. Then, he felt a horrible pain in his chest, it was like his heart was going to explode, then in his stomach, then his head, and finally, everything else. He groaned as the pain intensified and he dropped to his knees. As he closed his eyes, he could feel himself getting bigger, growing. His teeth getting sharper, his hair getting longer, everything growing. As he opened his eyes, they were a beat, blood red. As he groaned, his voice became deeper, until it was a growl, then his face stretched forward into a baboon-like face. His hair, all over began to get longer as the pain become increasingly unbearable. And finally, he let out a roar that echoed throughout the tower.
Raven ran through the corridors of Titans Tower until she heard a groaning noise. She stopped as she heard the roar, and was only feet away from Changeling's room. Then, Changeling's door busted from the wall into the wall across the hall. Raven ran over and looked into the room. "Changeling" She managed to get out before a huge tail flew from inside the room and smashed her against the wall. Then, it retracted back into the room, and with some ape feet, climbed through the ceiling, toward the tower's room. Nightwing and the other Titans came running and found Raven unconscious on the floor.
"Raven" they yelled. Nightwing got to her and woke her up. "Are you okay" He asked. Raven rubbed her head and looked at their faces.
"We have a big problem" She said as she tried to get up, but fell as a shockwave of pain flew through her leg. Raven looked down and saw that he leg was covered in blood and everything was going dark.
"Hold on Raven" Nightwing pleaded. "Cyborg, get her to the medical lab, we're..." He started but was interrupted by a crash, and a roar on top of the tower.
On the top of the tower, a gigantic hand smashed out of the roof. Along with it, another did the same, and soon, a huge body emerged. It was a gigantic ape-like monster. It had the face of a baboo, a tail of a monkey, and the body of an ape, but one more thing was distinguishable about it, it was green. As it roared it's mighty roar, it jumped from the tower to the ground and stood it's full height. The monster was about half the size of the Tower. As it growled a low growl, it saw Jump City, and roared again, and started off toward the City.
"Not so fast" Nightwing yelled. The other Titans behind him (minus Raven and Changeling). The monster didn't even look at them, it just continued on it's way to the city.
"Hey, ass hole, we told you to stop!" Electro yelled as he fired on electrical energy ball at the beast. The ball hit the monster and exploded on his back. First it lurched forward, then did a 360 degree turn and punched at the Titans. Electro took flight holding Reese, as did Star with Nightwing, and Cyborg jumped to the ground. As the beast retracted it's fist, it turned and started to walk away again. Nightwing then threw some bird-a-rangs at it and they exploded with tremendous force. The monster turned and swatted at Electro and Starfire as they blasted it with an assortment of attacks. Starfire dropped Nightwing off, as Did Electro drop off Reese. Nightwing ran at the monster and threw exploding disks at it's feet. The disks hit the target, and the monster roared, then smashed his foot down, trying to hit Nightwing. Cyborg launched missles at it's foot and the monster recoiled it's foot back and turned around.
"Titans, GO!" Nightwing yelled. But before the Titans could make a move, the monster hunched down, and leaped into the air. It cleared the water and landed on the shores of Jump City. People ran in fear as the monster smashed his fists into building, destroying everything in sight.
"We have to get over there, before it totally destroys the City" Electro exclaimed.
"That monster has to be stopped" Reese yelled. Then they heard a voice behind them.
"That monster is Changeling" Raven told them. All the Titans looked at her confused.
"Raven... you shouldn't be up, with your leg the way it is" Cyborg told her. "Now get your ass back in bed" He yelled. Raven shook he head no.
"We shouldn't be worrying me, we should be worrying about Changeling, he is the one in trouble. That creature he turned into, It's called the Oozaruand it was an ancient Mythical monster, one of the most powerful" Raven said sadly as she began to levitate, to stay off her bad leg.
"But how did Changeling change into it" Nightwing asked.
"No time to explain, we have to stop him." Raven said as she looked at the now smoking city. "By cutting off his tail."
"How the hell with that help" Cyborg asked. Raven glared at him.
"Believe me, it will work, without their tail, the Oozaru revert back to their normal form" Raven said. The Titans nodded and turned toward the City.
"Raven" Nightwing said. "Get us over there" He ordered. She nodded and encased everyone in black energy, and soon, they were in the City. But they soon would wish they weren't.
Death, destruction, and suffering were in the air. Nightwing was carried by Starfire, Electro carried Reese, and Raven carried Cyborg. The Titans landed to help the people and split into two groups. The Oozaru could wait, right now, they had people to save.
"Everyone calm down" Nightwing yelled as people ran screaming past him. "Please, stop" he yelled. Nightwing spotted the police chief and ran over to him. "Chief, what's the situation" Nightwing asked. The Chief gave him a scared look.
"We are trying our best" he said. "But, there are too many injured to be helped, and too few ambulance" He said. Nightwing nodded.
"Then you'll have to make more, room, we have to save as many as possible." He yelled. "You help those that are already outside, I'll help the firemen get the rest out of the rubble and such" he said jumping away to help the firemen.
Raven and Cyborg had bursted into a burning building trying to find people still in it.
"You hear that" Cyborg said. Raven listed closely and heard people shouting.
"Yeah, we have to get them out of here" Raven yelled as she and Cyborg made their way into the center of the building. Cyborg and Raven then spotted a door being banged on. Both of them made their way there as the building started to lean back and forth, it was only a matter of time before it fell.
"There are some people in here" Cyborg yelled. And tried to grab the door knob, but burnt his metallic hand. 'Ow... god damn" he said. Then he aimed his cannon at the door. "This probably isn't good for the structure, but, oh well" He said as he blasted the door down. People ran out screaming, pushing, and coughing as Cyborg lead them out. The building shook.
Raven heard a voice, then, a scream. As she levitated over, she saw a desk, with a huge amount of burningrubble on top of it.
"Please, help me" Said a small voice. Raven took a closer look and saw a small girl, about 7 or so underneath the rubble. "Please help me" She said with tears in her eyes.
"Don't' worry, you'll be okay" Raven said as she dodged a piece of falling rubble. Raven levitated over to the girl and a giant flame flared up in front of her. Raven stepped back and tried to use her powers, but saw that the rubble on the desk was preventing the ceiling to collapse. If she used her powers, the girl, and her would be crushed.
"Please, please, help me, I don't want to die, I want me mommy" The girl said as tears fell from her eyes. Raven tried to get to her, but was stopped by Cyborg.
"Come on Raven, we have to go" He said. Raven tried to break his grip.
"But the girl" She said. Cyborg ducked as more rubble fell.
"The place is gonna cave, we have to get out." He yelled.
"But" Raven protested. "We haven't let anyone die yet, and I won't start now" Raven yelled, but Cyborg grabbed her.
"Come on, more people need our help, and if we try to get to her, she'll die anyway, along with us." Cyborg told her looking at the scared little girl. "Come on" He said as he guided Raven away and out the door.
"No, please, come back, come back" The girl yelled as she cried.
Raven and Cyborg left the building just in time, for in a couple of seconds after they left the building. It collapsed. And for the first time in a while, Raven cried.
The Oozaru made it's way into the middle of the city, stopping for a second. While stopped, a barrage of Starbolts exploded on his back, and when he turned to face the attacker, an electric bolt met his face. The blast exploded on the Oozaru's face and it shrieked in pain.
"This ends now" Nightwing yelled as the Titans assembled. "Titans GO" He commanded. The Titans all sprang toward the Oozaru. Starfire picked up Nightwing and took flight. Electro flew toward the Oozaru and blasted several electrical blasts at the monster. The bolts exploded, and through the smoke came a green fist, which Electro was barely able to dodge by moving super fast and transporting himself above the Oozaru (imagine the DBZ super fast movement thing they do). Cyborg took this opportunity to attack. He fired his Sonic Cannon at the beast, the blast hit it with almost no effect, and the monster used his tail to smack Cyborg away and into a building. Starfire flew behind the monster and threw Nightwing at it, and in mid-air Nightwing threw exploding disks at the Oozaru. The disks exploded, and Nightwing landed on it's back, holding on by the monster's hair. Reese used her powers to pick up a bus and throw it at the Oozaru, but it caught the bus and threw it back at her. Reese rolled to the left to avoid the object and Cyborg fired his pod missles at the beast. But he saw them coming and jumped into the air and on top of a building. The sudden movement caused Nightwing to fall.
"I got it" Electro said as he caught Nightwing and transported them to the ground.
"Thanks, I owe you one" Nightwing said as he ran back to battle. Electro did the same. Raven watched as the battle got more heated, she knew though, that the Titans couldn't win, not unless they cut off the beast's tail. But she had to wait for the right moment, the right time to strike. Electro and Starfire flew in front of the monster and did a "lighting bolt" right in front of it's face, as the smoke cleared the creature had it's mouth open. Then, a beam of pure energy blasted from the monster's mouth, heading straight for Electro and Starfire.
"Oh shit" Electro said as he transported both he and Starfire away just in time. The blast then hit a near by building causing it to explode with a thunderous boom. "What was that" Electro asked as he and Starfire floated above the Oozaru, who was now firing beams everywhere and destroying everything.
"No you don't" Cyborg yelled as he and Reese ran up tot he monster and launched their attacks. But the beast caught them, and fired a beam directly at them. Both jumped away just in time to avoid the actual beam, but were caught in the explosion. Both fell unconscious.
"No" Raven yelled as she flew down to assist he friends. When she landed, Raven tried to wake them, but they were down for the count. Then she looked up and saw that Starfire and Electro had been batter away and were now smashed into buildings, and Nightwing was no-where to be seen. "Stop" Raven yelled. The Oozaru looked down at her, and roared she levitated up to his level and attacked, but the beast ducked, and grabbed Raven in it's mighty hand. He had her from the waist down, her hands pinned.
The monster brought her up to his face and looked at her with hie blood red eyes. Then, he sniffed her, there was something about this one he remembered. He sniffed her long and hard.
That's right, sniff me, find out who I am. If we can't cut off your tail, maybe you'll recognize me She said inside her mind. The Oozaru then brought her to his mouth and opened it. His tongue came out and licked Raven's cheek, leaving a large trail of slimy saliva. Once again, he licked her with his warm tongue, then slid it down her neck, and onto her chests, where he licked her breasts. Finally, he retracted his tongue.
"Raven" He said in a low tone. Raven looked at him in amazement, and set her down. Raven looked at the monster with awe, then heard a cutting noise. The beast roared loudly, and turned around, and Raven saw, his tail had been sliced off. And behind the monster, was Nightwing, with his sword and the severed tail next to him. As the monster shrieked, it started to shrink, until it was the size of a normal human, and finally collapsed, Changeling was back. And as the Titans gathered around him, they picked him up, and took him from the City, back to Titans Tower.
Inside the tower, Changeling was once again in the medical room, the Titans watched him carefully as Cyborg looked at his readings on the screen. Slowly, Changeling woke up.
He groaned, "ugh... what happen, where am I" he asked. Nightwing walked over to him.
"Your back in the Tower" He said
"Did I go somewhere" he asked. The Titans looked at eachother. "I changed again, didn't I, into the beast" He said looking down.
"No, into another monster. You've mastered the Beast, but now" Raven Started. "You have another monster in you." She said taking a seat next to him.
"That monster from your book, right" He said. Raven looked at him confused. "When I, was the Oozaru, when I changed, I knew what was happening, but I couldn't stop it, I just, went berserk" Changeling said near the point of tears. Raven embraced him.
"I know, the legend behind the Oozaru is that, at every full moon, the person with it would change, like a werewolf, but with much deadlier results" Raven said trying to comfort him.
"Changeling, since no one knows it was you who was the Oozaru, we won't have to send you to jail." Nightwing said. Changeling smiled. "But, we will have to make a containment unit, so that every full moon, you can go into it, and not change" he finished. Changeling's smile faded.
"Great, another reason for you guys to fear me" He said sarcasm dripping like venom from his lips. The Titans all gave eachother worried looks, then, embraced Changeling, like Raven, in a group hug. Not just any group hug though, this one was full of love and friendship.
Yes, I did get this Idea from "The Beast within". And before you shoot me because you didn't think it was original, I want to say, that Changeling had mastered the Beast, as we saw in Season 4, with the whole Slade/Fire Minions battle. So, I think he needed another monster to overcome, and so I just upgrade the Beast to the Oozaru. I also needed at least one really serious chapter too.
