A/N: AND NOW, THE…ER…CHAPTER YOU'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR (Or at least I assume you've been waiting with all the 'Update or die' reviews I've been getting . Lol, j/k!) HERE IT IS! Enjoy.
XP
Raven regained herself with an effort, and let out a furious snarl as she attempted to launch herself at Judora, but the moment she moved she fell to the ground, staying in the very center of the circle. Her wrists, anckles, and neck were all supporting shackles, the chains of which seemed to be molded into the ground itself, becoming short to keep her on her hands and knees, even lower because of the one around her neck. Raven cursed herself, how could she have been so gullible! The Shifter would have looked, acted, and yes, smelled like the one person she wanted to see in that particular position the very least, her mother. Stupid, stupid, stupid! She told herself over and over, fighting with the shackle around her neck the most in order to look up and glare at Judora, who merely smirked.
"Now, now, can't have you upsetting my precious circle, can I?" She asked in a soothing voice that irked Raven to no end. "Please excuse the disgraceful position, but in your current state of mind, it is necessary." She said.
"I'll have your head, Judora!" Raven hissed, refusing to acknowledge the fear that was crawling into the pit of her stomach.
"And you must, of course, make the obligatory threat to my life. That will change though, as I'm sure you've realized, by now, everything that has happened, and will happen." She told Raven, sweeping over to a large table where chemicals and ingredients were stationed, a single cauldron bubbled to her right, and on the other side, where Raven looked to see, was an alter, on which was chained a terrified young girl in a black shaft with a red sash around the waist. She looked at Raven and Judora, too terrified to utter a sound, her mouth open in a silent scream.
Judora continued, "And I'm sure, as well, that you've figured out the cycle already, and that, due to the lack of…adequate results, the cycle has changed every time. I hoped that my own 'future self' would have realized what the mistake was and I would not have to go through the humiliation of a failure, but I am quite sure that my 'past self' hopes the same of me." She turned around with a bottle in her hands, the contents of which resembled many layers of different colored dust. "She will not be disappointed."
Raven bared her teeth, "Necronom, Hesbur—AAAAAAHHH!" She shrieked in fury, as shots of pure pain was sent through her body at her attempt to use magic.
"I see you disapprove of this, don't worry, in exactly an hour and 24 minutes, you won't." Judora assured her pleasantly.
"D888 RIGHT I DISAPPROVE!" Raven raged, fighting with her bounds, her eyes blazing with anger, "You think I'm just going to sit here while you go destroying everything I love, again! I'LL HAVE YOUR BLOOD JUDORA! I swear I'll make you pay for every life that was unjustly taken, for every soul tormented by your filth, for every drop of blood spilled in the name of your 'cause'! When I am through with you, you will not know pain, you will know deep, searing agony. I will tear you so deeply your body will not be able to handle such torment, I will torture you till you beg for death! And then I will shred your very soul into pieces and separate them in each level of hell!"
Judora's expression was stone for a moment, and then she fixed Raven with a piercing and almost stern look that she couldn't comprehend. But then this disappeared suddenly, replaced by an amused smirk as though it had never even been there, "Of course, you say that now. But once freed, you will thank me." She said.
"I'll die before I let you change me into that, that thing." Raven hissed, her teeth bared, "All the innocents my future self has destroyed, their blood is on your hands, Judora. I know how you play, you are going to make me guilty, tell me that that creature, that demon is what I truly am at my core. But it's not going to work, because I know better. You'll have to break my very soul to turn me into that thing, I imagine that's what your 'future self' had to do. But it doesn't work, does—"
Judora was suddenly standing in front of Raven, her eyes wide and her pupils small, her mouth in a stern line, staring at Raven with very little semblance of sanity, "I do not want to harm your soul Raven I want you to come to me willingly, but you don't seem inclined to do that and I have to use force, don't I? You can't keep running away, this is what you were born for, this is what you were meant to be. Just accept it and come to me willingly or I will have to break you." The voice that came from her was very sharp, the words seemed almost slurred together as they came from her lips, but were nonetheless clear.
This was, by far, the most fear Raven had ever felt from Judora. She looked exactly the same as she had before Raven was sent to this time, but she had become older, wiser still, cooler, calmer, and at the same time more insane. But the fear that gripped her heart when she heard Judora speak like that, when Judora looked at her like that, the snake Familiar always wrapped around her waist, looming over Raven as well, it's red eyes fixed. She, Raven, no, Dark Raven, who she thought could feel no fear, was absolutely terrified. She wanted to run away rather than attack, but she couldn't do either, and just stared as Judora shook herself and turned her back to Raven, though the snake's head twisted around, it's eyes not leaving her, its glare still holding Raven captive with that sense of terror she could barely explain.
"You're friends will be dealt with, make sure of that." Came Judora's voice, smooth once again, but with still a hint of anger in it. "There will be no one left to come and save you this time, Raven. Accept it, and become what you were meant to be." She said, turning now towards the cauldron, the bottle of colored sands, which was now smoking, was poured into it, causing the steam issuing from it to turn red. Judora took a dagger tied onto a string and dipped it deep into the cauldron, tying the string to the handle that suspended the cauldron itself over a pit of green fires.
You're wrong. Raven thought, but she wasn't going to say it out loud. Her throat was dry, and she was visibly shaking, glad that Judora's eyes weren't upon her in spite of the fact that the snake's were, and Judora seemed to have a very close connection with that snake. Raven gripped her hands into fists, Malorek, please, find me.
XD
"RAVEN!" Malorek's howl of fury shook the entire chamber as a load of demons began to fill in, hissing and spitting as they all lunged for the group at the same time. The ones who were directly in Malorek's view were all destroyed, every last one of them, in a blast of pure rage that left a huge line on down the middle. Almost half of them had been completely eradicated, causing a moment of surprise in the chaos, a moment that the others took advantage of and began to fight fiercely as Malorek slumped do the ground.
Shila's lightning bolts and Daniel's fire filled the area, Chire'ni had shapechanged into the mighty half-spider form of a drider, her inhuman shrieks pierced the air as she slaughtered those who came after her. Mace's icy touch left anything in his wake frozen, Grissom's power seemed to be working as well, demons simply dropped dead when his hand found their heads, Blade was practically flying about the battle field, he and Michael seemed to catch on to each other and they started fighting together, with Blade deafening the senses of each demon, and Michael simply able to anticipate every move without fault. Shade could simply not be touched, he disappeared into the shadows and reappeared behind his enemies, his knife tearing through them easily.
But Malorek simply sat there, he knew the others could handle the rest of the demons fine on their own, but he wasn't sure he'd have been able to fight even if they hadn't.
He'd lost her, he'd lost her again. Gods, they had been so stupid, assuming Judora's only method of teleportation was circles! Confident that, destroying the premade circle, Judora wouldn't be able to do anything. But, how did she get a hold of a shifter, of all demons! Shifters were suppose to be extremely hard to control, and gods, it had even smelled like Arella! They were all fooled, and now Raven was gone, gone, and they could only guess as to how much time they had before this would all be repeated once again.
A demon came after Malorek, but he stood up, grabbed it right out of it's attempt to attack him, and crushed its skull in his bear hands, his eyes blazing violet. All the demons who hadn't already been killed by the others were suddenly destroyed in a blaze of violet fire, everyone turned to see Malorek with the same fire in his hand, he crouched to the ground and began to change, everyone flying swiftly away to give him room for the silver dragon. He lifted his head to the ceiling and opened his mouth, shooting from it a spell which burned through each level like acid, exposing the darkened clouds above them all. He crouched and jumped, flying through the holes using his claws to grab onto the different layers and launch him farther up. The others followed, and soon they found themselves on the bank of the river.
Malorek raised his head to the clouds that swirled around the top of the T-Towar, "THERE!" he roared, the jewel that had been around his neck, now tied into the matter of his shape, told him that's where Raven was.
"We'll come back in the ship, it'll be faster." Chire'ni told Malorek, "You go ahead! Find Raven, we will do all we can." She said, and then she led the rest of them back towards where the ship would be.
Malorek nodded an agreement, and took to the skies. He didn't care if he was walking right into a trap, he didn't care if Judora was expecting him, all he knew was that he could not let this happen, he had to get to Raven, no matter the cost.
XD
Come to me…"NOOOOO!" Raven screamed, writhing and struggling with all her might, fighting against it, trying to get free of her chains. Judora poured hot black liquid on her back and she screamed. It ate away at her cloak and sank deep into her flesh, and then it came back out, ripping itself out from inside of her. Leathery black, bat-like, a set of wings tore themselves from her skin, bloody and small for the time being. Judora was chanting, almost singing.
Come to me…"I WONT! I REFUSE!" She shrieked.
There is no need to run,Raven felt tears fall from her eyes, her cloak was destroyed and she was shaking violently. Her strength draining from her. She was pulled down onto the stone floor so that she was lying flat upon it, the chains released her, but she couldn't get up. Desperately, she tried to think of a way out, but her mind was blank with fear, and pain. Malorek… She thought desperately, imagining him bursting in any moment and destroying Judora, coming to save her.
There is no need to be afraid,
She thought of him, of all the time they could have had together, of all the things they could have done. She loved him so much, it was like a burning inside of her. He would save her, he would come for her.
Come into my arms,
Raven fought to keep hold of consciousness, pressed down upon the floor as though tied with invisible chains, "No," She sobbed, "I'm not, I don't want to be a monster…" Her eyes found that of the girl on the alter, her expression was like that of pity and sorrow, reaching out to Raven even though she didn't understand any of what was going on.
Let me embrace you with my burning chains,
Help me… Raven pleaded with her mentally, begging with all her might, Give me your strength, I can't let this happen, I can't let her win! She said. The girl swallowed, and nodded, a movement so faint that only Raven saw it. Raven prodded, and the girl relinquished her strength freely.
And let the fire revel your true form.
Raven, shaking, pushed herself up off the ground, but dark waves were already beginning to rise from it, and Judora's dagger was finished. Concentrate, Raven ordered herself, Avelona, if you're in there somewhere, I need your help, and I need it now. The clues, what did she know? The darkness was beginning to entwine itself around her legs, feeling almost like sand, preventing her from being able to move very well. Fire seemed to crawl up her legs and throughout her body, reaching even to the very tips of her wings. Raven began to shriek in pain and she fought to keep hold of her consciousness, fought against the burning as it began to morph her, growing her hair out even longer than it already was, ripping at her clothes so that all but the barest necessities were destroyed, much like the demon she'd seen herself become. "NO!" She cried.
A single image came to her mind, the Tower, the bottle, the water…
Suddenly the door into the chamber burst open, Raven looked, her heart soaring for one second, believing it to be Malorek, but it wasn't. Instead three men and one woman had entered the chamber, "LANA!" Screamed the woman, running straight for the girl on the alter, not paying attention to anything else.
"How annoying." Judora hissed, conjuring a glass-like wall to prevent the woman from going any farther. The men stared at Judora and Raven, fear in their eyes at the two creatures who had destroyed their world.
"No! Lana no!" Cried the woman, who only had eyes for her daughter. Judora boxed the rest of them in the same glass-like substance.
"As touching as human love always is, you have no idea what you have just interrupted. Be thankful I only need one sacrifice, I will deal with you, and those pathetic excuses for guards, once I am done, make no mistake." She told them coolly, moving over to the alter.
"No!" Raven shrieked, fighting against the bounds, "DON'T TOUCH HER, JUDORA!" She yelled, and then, as though she should have done it a long time ago, she pulled out Avelona's bottle, filled with the light waters, and the darkness around her began to lessen so that she could move more easily.
Judora swept around, ready with a retort, when she saw what Raven had in her hand, and froze, "What—no! How did you, where," She stammered, losing her cool.
"You won't be needing a sacrifice." Raven said evenly, bringing the bottle to her lips.
"NO! DON'T! You fool, it could kill you!" Judora shrieked, moving forward, but her own circle prevented her from going any further.
"THEN I WILL DIE!" Raven screamed back at her, "Die! Rather than become that monster again! Die rather than take the lives of any more innocents! I'll see you in hell Judora!" She yelled and then she pressed the bottle to her lips and began to drink, deeply, more deeply than she'd ever drunk something before. The liquid light burned her tongue like a strong drink, it burned down her throat, into her stomach, and through her heart, out into each and every vein. Half of it was gone before she stopped, barely able to cork the bottle before she fell to the floor.
The fire that spread through her body was a different kind of pain than that which she'd experienced by the hands of Judora, like a searing pain in an open wound as it's being cleansed with powerful alcohol, it sucked everything in and destroyed it, her wings were drawn back into her body, her fangs, her second set of eyes, her claws, everything left, leaving her with fair, but still tan skin, violet locks of hair fell before her as she knelt down, the two that framed her face with black and white on their tips. She felt a purity that hurt course through her, she screamed, oh it was painful. But she didn't die, and somehow, she knew she wouldn't.
"NO!" Judora shrieked as Raven got to her feet, though her legs shook violently, and she glared at Judora, panting heavily. She banished the crystal bottle, and instead took what was left of Robin's blood and used it to destroy the circle she was in.
"You, lost." She panted, staggering out of the circle, Judora staring at her as though she were some sort of impossible specter, "Water from The Cross courses through my veins, there is no way your plan will work now. I'm going, to go back, I'm going, to make sure, none of this ever happens. You," She pointed, "Will not win."
"You are weak, Raven." Judora cooed, regaining her composure, "How long will that water last before it leaves your blood stream? I can wait, Raven, I can wait, I have waited for a long time." She said.
"No, you can't wait." Raven told her. And then, almost as if on cue, there was a great explosion in the background, the roar of a dragon pierced the thick walls into the chamber. Judora spun on the spot towards the door where the sound had been closest, her face pale with shock.
"No, it, it can't be!" She exclaimed in disbelief, she rounded on Raven, "He died! The ritual failed, but he had died! He cannot be here, no, I didn't send him…I KNOW THAT HE DIED!" She shrieked.
"Gray dragons, can't be killed, unless they kill themselves, so how can you know?" Raven asked, panting.
Judora bared her teeth, "Do not talk about impossibilities with me, Avelona!" She hissed menacingly.
"It doesn't matter, you've lost! The past, my past, has already been changed! It has already happened, Judora, our pasts do not match, and that means that everything that happened here will be erased!" Raven hissed, just as Malorek destroyed a hole in the room, giving his magnificent body plenty of space to get through. He gracefully stepped over the humans who were trapped in glass and bounded on Judora before she had time to cast a single spell.
Judora let out a scream of pain as his hand attempted to crush her, and suddenly her familiar wriggled free from around her waist, and flew away, disappearing into its own vortex. Judora cried after it, "NO! YOU CAN'T LEAVE ME! YOU CAN'T—" But Malorek silenced her, he opened his mouth and took her body into it, ripping her clean in half and spitting out the top piece, throwing the other on that and burning the body with fierce violet flames. They turned silver as he chanted, and Judora's split body let out a terrible, inhuman shriek of pain. The flames became black, then white, and then the ashes seemed to disappear as well.
Raven fell to her knees, and then laid on her side, panting, eyes closed, fighting unconsciousness. They had done it, they had won, but it wasn't over, not yet.
Soon a pair of strong arms pulled her into a tight embrace. "Raven," He whispered, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." He said, just as Chire'ni entered through the huge hole, a Dragounet, and began to dispel Judora's prisons from the humans there.
"Don't touch the alter, let me do it." Chire'ni ordered as the woman instantly made to get her daughter.
"It, he, he killed…The Sorceress, and The Demon…what happened?" One of the men demanded just as most of the group filed in.
Shila was bloody but it didn't appear as though the blood was hers, she seemed to have picked up a demonic sword and was holding it at the ready in case there were any more enemies. Grissom was nowhere in sight, Mace was supporting a nasty wound on his arm, one of Blade's legs had been burned completely off and he had to fly in order to get around adequately. Daniel was bloody as well, but the blood seemed to be his, Shade and Michael weren't there either.
"I knew you'd come." Raven whispered, putting an arm around Malorek's neck and hugging him close, "And, there is no need to apologize, I was fooled as well." She said with a sigh as he lifted her into the air, and carried her over to the others.
"So she's…human?" Asked one of the other men shakily, staring at Raven in Malorek's arms.
Chire'ni snorted, "Not hardly, no, she's half human half demon. Why do you think rosary never worked on her other self?" She asked.
"'Other self'?"
"We'll explain later. Are you all okay though?" Shila asked them.
"Lana's very week." The woman answered.
"She gave me her strength in order to fight the transformation, but she'll regain it after a few nights. Not that it'll matter." Raven looked up at Malorek's face, "It's not over." She said.
"No," He answered, "We still have to find the circle she would have used to send you back." He said. "I imagine it'll be somewhere in this room, protected, no doubt."
"Can't you, I dunnno, rest first?" Shila asked, "I mean, for gods' sake, Raven looks as though she's about to pass out!"
Malorek nodded, "It would be a good idea to rest for a bit." He walked over to a wall and sat down, leaning against it and holding Raven to his chest. "So, what happened? I guess we made it before Judora could do much?" He asked hopefully.
Raven sighed, "No, I almost…" She raised a hand in order to rub her eyes, "She almost won, almost, I remembered the water, from the Tower, and I drank it in spit of her warning that it could kill me. It changed me back and destroyed her spell. I used Robin's blood to destroy the circle she was using, and was buying some time when you came. I couldn't have fought her in this state." She said.
"Right, so, can you just turn into good demon Raven and drink someone's blood to get your power back?" Shila asked her.
Raven shook her head, "No, that's the thing, the water is coursing through my veins, it forced my body back into a form that could handle it, and it'll prevent me from becoming a demon in body. It blocked Judora's spell from changing me, but now I can't change back, even if I want to. Look," She took out a dagger, turning around on Malorek's lap in order to show them as she slit her wrist. The blood that dripped down from it seemed to be laced with a web of gold and silver strings which glowed and sparkled. But then the blood drew itself back into the wound and it healed up. "See? When I try, nothing happens but that my wound heals and I can't do it." Raven explained.
"Right, we'll just have to rest." Daniel said, sitting down where he was, his legs crossed, head bowed. Everyone else followed his lead, they had won, but the price had been high for both groups.
"Yeah, and we can because I think the demons themselves all disappeared when Judora died, it's very quiet after all." Shila murmured. She was stationed between Mace and Blade, and she looked as though, even if there were more demons, she wouldn't be able to fight. Her features were taunt, an emotional weight seemed to lay heavily upon her. Grissom's death was tormenting her, that was obvious, but she was able to keep herself held up by the knowledge that, soon, none of this would have ever happened, soon she would remember nothing, soon she'd be with the mother and father she never knew.
"Could, could someone explain what's going on?" Asked the woman.
"She's from the past," The girl, Lana, spoke up to everyone's surprise, "I, I think she was brought here to become The Demon, then she would go back to her time, and become the demon we know. That's what The Sorceress had intended." She said.
"You're correct." Malorek told her, nodding, "We were sent here from the past, before all of this happened, Raven is the past form of The Demon, sent to the present so that this far more experienced Judora could attempt to change her into The Demon she wanted. So far, she had been unsuccessful, only able to turn Raven into a mad beast, but now, she has finally lost. We are going to go back in time to help ourselves, as we know our future selves had done, and this future will be erased." Malorek told them all. "You will still be born, no doubt about that, but the life you live will be without The Demon, and without The Sorceress. You will have no memories of this time, and it is all the better that way." He explained.
They looked at each other, "How can you be sure?" Asked one of the men.
"Because time will correct itself, we will drive a hole in it using the blood of an angel, we will distort it enough so that, when its laws are set back in place, the future that we want will be, and this future will simply case to exist. I know it's hard to understand, I know that you feel, now, like there is no way you can not exist, you are considering your memories and all the events that have taken place, but once we are gone, you will not even know that you have been here, you will never know, because the next time you find yourself at this age there will be no such things as demons and sorceresses. Comparatively, the life that awaits you will be far better, far more happy. As soon as Raven regains her strength, we will make sure of this." Malorek said.
Lana looked up, "She can have ours." She said. The group looked at her, "Let her take your strength, please, let her erase this future. Let's not wait any longer than we have to for it to end." She said.
Shila looked at the girl, and then stood up, "We'll all pitch in." She said, "The strength that we have left anyway." Daniel, Blade, and Mace all nodded.
Raven looked up at them all, and let out a sigh of relief as she pulled herself up, with Malorek's help. "Thank you." She said, staggering forward using the dragon's shoulder. She held out her hand to them all, "Let's erase this nightmare." She said. Everyone save Lana, even Chire'ni, crowded around, placing their hands on top of each other over Raven's, who cupped them with her other hand and began to probe each individual person for strength. It wasn't much of a memory, but at least she'd remembered something from Avelona to help her. They all let their strength flow into her, and she took as much as she needed, leaving most of them slightly breathless, but overall just fine. She didn't need much from each individual after all.
"Before you leave, can I speak with you, alone?" Chire'ni asked Raven, a meaningful look in her eyes. Raven nodded.
"We'll look for the circle." Malorek said, and the two retreated to a bear corner of the room.
"Listen," She began, "In a deep way, I feel responsible for a lot of this, no, let me finish," She held up her hand before Raven could argue with her, "I want to say this, just in case my past self doesn't get around to it. Everything that's happened, a lot of it seems to revolve around my killing Avelona, not all of it, but a good deal. Saying that I'm sorry will do little good, but I want you to know that I am, and…thank you." She said to Raven.
Raven blinked, "For…what?" She asked, slightly confused.
"For being my sister. For loving me no matter how I acted towards you, no matter how many times I said I hated you, and in spite of the fact that I even killed you. Thank you for bringing me to my senses, thank you for saving me from my own demons, and thank you…for forgiving me. Looking back at my childhood I realize what a fool I was, I know this sounds very cheesy and sentimental, but only now do I realize that, while you were not like other children, you also loved me like no other child would have. Had I let you in, you would have stayed beside me no matter what, you would have been the one person I could bear my soul to and who wouldn't think me a foolish child. I can only hope that my past self makes no more mistakes after this. Also," She placed her hands on Raven's shoulders, "I want you to know that I love you as family, now I do. I don't remember if my past self does, but she will, I promise. You loved me so much as a child, I was simply too blind to see it and I drove you away from me. Now I want to love you, and protect you. I've written a note for you to give to my past self, yes, I know it's probably against the rules, but you are using your half-angel's blood, so here. Don't look at it, I'm fairly sure that, in spite of the fact it's written in drow, you might be able to read it as it may trigger a remembrance of the language itself. Alright?" She asked, holding out a small piece of folded paper for Raven.
She nodded, "Alright, I promise not to look at it." She said, and she put it into her belt. Then she looked down at herself and suddenly realized how little she was wearing. "Oh gods," She muttered, "I can't go back in time looking like this!" She exclaimed, causing Chire'ni to snigger. "But…maybe." Raven concentraited, perhaps she still had an extra costume in the T-Tower, all she had to do was summon it to her body. Next moment she was fully dressed once again. "That's better." She sighed.
"How'd you do that?" Chire'ni asked ad Raven stuffed an even larger amount of hair into her hood with a bit of difficulty.
"I can summon and banish objects to and from the T-Tower, this was still in there, obviously, so I was able to get it." She answered.
"Awwwww, why'd you change?" Malorek wined, approaching them.
Raven leered at him, and then gestured him towards her with her finger, he came obediently, "Malorek?"
"Yeees?" He asked, though he knew what was coming.
SMACK! She slapped him with the back of her hand. He rubbed his cheek tenderly, "Yes, I suppose I deserved that." Chire'ni let out a bought of laughter that he ignored. "Anyway, we found the circle." He told her, jerking his head over towards an area that use to have a large cage placed over it. "Do you…know what to do?" He asked, concerned.
"Oh yeah," Raven answered, walking with the two towards the circle, "Once I have a good look, I'll know how to alter it." She told him, and then she approached the circle, not touching it, but looking, tracing the lines with her eyes and fingers in the air, thinking hard.
She took Zacroma's blood from the space jewel on her belt and opened the bottle. "Sanguineus Factus Spiritus, Factus Cendere, Factus Aura, Factus Aqua, Factus Ventulus, Factus Humus, Factus Fulmineus, Factus Lux, Factus Nox, Factus Mortis." She chanted, drawing the blood from the bottle in small ribbons, and then letting it float over the circle. She repeated her chant as another ribbon came while the first entered the circle and began to spread out, altering symbols and lacing itself into the demon blood that was used. She continued to repeat the chant, more ribbons of blood came from the bottle and laced themselves into the circle, causing it to begin to glow, not red, but slightly silver. Finally she was finished, having used all of Zacroma's blood, just to be safe, and considered the circle. "Yes," She murmured, "I believe it will now transport us to where we need to be." She said, turning to Malorek. "Before we go, I think we need to make sure we know what we're doing. There's a chamber, a large one, just before the alter room where you were kept, there are thousands of demons there, you'll want to kill them while I help the others. Okay, Robin, Beast Boy, and Zacroma, all three of them will need help, but I'll transport you to the demon's room first, then I'll help the others and join you as swiftly as possible. We'll need to hide somewhere, make sure we're not seen." She said.
"I think I can make us visually invisible, these gems should allow us some form of mental invisibility as well." Malorek said, fingering the shard around his neck.
"Hopefully Judora will be too preoccupied to look very closely at us." Raven said, and then she stepped into the circle, light's began to shoot up from it as Malorek joined her. "Goodbye." She told the others, "I hope your new lives will be better than these." She said.
"Just give Judora a good kick in the rear end for each of us!" Shila told her.
Raven nodded, and then activated the spell. They felt the familiar falling sensation once again, only this time it was far more welcome, and this time they were in control. Malorek took Raven's hand as they waited, and just as they were about to pierce through the other side, the two of them levitated, keeping themselves from hitting the ground, were hundreds of demons stood waiting for their past selves.
Neither of them waited, Malorek let out a mighty roar, and Raven teleported to where she knew Beast Boy would be battling with Terra.
