A/N: DON'T SKIP THIS! I know author's notes are sometimes boring, but this one has to do with the story. Where this story seems to be heading needs a little explanation. I wasn't originally planing this, but it just kinda took off. It seems to take place between 'Prophecy' and 'The End'. For fanfic purposes, I am taking a little-ok, maybe a LOT- of poetic license here. I am assuming that the Titans know most of what is planned for Trigon's visit. I gotta tweak it all just a bit for this. Please bear with me. I know I ask you to put up with a lot, but I also figure you will tell me if I suck. Thanks again, more than I could ever say for all your marvelous reviews! They keep me going, and I will try to get better. One last thing, I wanted to apologize for the delay in updating. My computer got infected and was down for a while. All fixed now, I hope!
Ok, enough from me, on with the show! Er, story!
DISCLAIMER: Though I try and try, I continue to own nothing in the way of the Teen Titans or Danny Phantom. If I did, neither show would ever be canceled!
Thank you:)
Chapter 6
Danny landed where Slade and Raven had been standing only moments before. His hand lit up and he looked all around. By this time, all the others had managed to find a way up.
"Where did they go?" Robin asked Danny, looking around.
"I don't know! They just disappeared! He had his arms around her, and then just pulled her back into the shadows. Why would he take Sam?"
"He didn't take Sam, he took Raven." Raven said. They all turned to her. The titans then exchanged looks that did not go unnoticed by our young halfa.
"Ok, why would he take Raven?" He asked.
Raven sighed. "Well, I didn't want to tell you this, but it looks like your going to have to know. It all started on my last birthday...
It was so dark. Darker than she could ever remember seeing. She remembered arms around her, a voice in her ear. And then, darkness. And it felt...evil.
"Ah, my little Raven. You are awake." The cold voice came from the darkness.
"What do you want with me?" she asked. She had wanted to sound a little stronger than that.
"Oh, come now Raven. I know it has been a while, but it hasn't been that long. I know you know why you're here. Your father wishes a word with you." still just a cold, disembodied voice wafting through the darkness. Vertigo was setting in.
"My father?" she questioned.
She was rewarded by a rolling chuckle. "Oh my pretty little bird. Your acting skills aren't what they once were. Don't worry, your father will be here soon, then you can be on your way." Again the laughter.
"That's ok, I'm sure you can take a message for me. I'll just be going now." and she started walking. She took about three steps, and smacked into a wall. "What the-" she turned and headed another direction, with the same results. She reached out around her, and felt herself trapped in some sort of cage, or box.
"Dang! Can't you at least turn on some lights or something?" she yelled.
This time the laughter that came from the darkness was much more sinister than before. Deeper, more evil. Slowly, the room began to grow lighter, a faint redish glow up above her. She watched as the glow separated, then separated again, finally forming four glowing red eyes in the sky above her.
They were back at the tower, Cyborg and Starfire working the computers trying to find Sam's signal. Robin and Raven were sitting on the couch with a very stunned Danny and Tucker.
Tucker recovered first, "You mean to tell me, one of my best friends is trapped in the body of a half demon? And that her father is Trigon the Terrible?"
Robin and Raven glanced at each other before turning back to the troubled teens. Raven sighed.
"Yes. That's why she had to work so hard to control her powers. They come from my father."
Danny shook himself and took on a determined look. "Fine, whatever. Just, where is this Slade person taking her? And why?"
"That we don't know. " Robin said looking over, "All we have is that Slade said he had another message from her father. That doesn't give us much more to go on than we already had. Just that this might be more dangerous than we thought."
"Got her!" Cyborg exclaimed. They all rushed over to the screen. "It says she's back at the warehouse."
Robin punched his fist into his hand. "Titans GO!"
They got to the warehouse ready for a smack down. They burst in with proverbial guns blazing.
And were greeted with quiet darkness.
"What the-?" Beast Boy said. The others powered down their respective weapons, and started looking around.
"Cyborg, where is she?" Robin asked the half robot.
Cyborg had a panel on his arm open and was staring at it intently. "It says she is right...there!" he pointed to the place they had last seen her. They all headed up there, but there was only more darkness. Robin looked over his shoulder, "Cyborg?"
The cybernetic teen shrugged. "Sorry, Robin. It says she's right here."
Suddenly Raven was pinned to the wall in a mass of dark energy. All eyes spun from Raven's pinned form to the source of the energy. There stood a very angry looking Sam.
"Sam?" Danny questioned.
"After all we have been through, you didn't think to tell me I am in the body of the daughter of Trigon the Terrible? I am, currently a friggin' HALF DEMON?" A pulse shot through the energy and Raven grunted in pain.
"Sam! Stop!" Robin yelled.
"Ya, Sam. That's your body you're beating up." Tucker supplied.
One more pulse and she dropped Raven unceremoniously to the ground. Beast Boy ran to her.
"You ok, Rae?" he asked, helping her to stand.
"I'm fine." she answered in her patented monotone, staring at Sam angrily.
Danny, meanwhile, was trying to calm the goth turned sorceress.
"Sammy, you gotta stay calm."
"I am so TIRED of people telling me that!" A pylon cracked.
"Ok, but if you don't your gonna bring the building down on our heads." Tucker said, eyeing the pylon.
Sam sent a glare his way, then took a deep breath. "Fine, I'm calm. Happy?"
"Overjoyed." came the monotonous reply. Sam cut her eyes to the woman inhabiting her body and said, in a over-exaggerated polite tone, "So, Raven. Your dad says hello."
"I'm glad you enjoyed your visit. You should come to the reunion." she replied.
Sam opened her mouth for another jab when Robin stepped between the two glowering goths.
"Look, let's head back to the tower so we can sort this out."
"Fine", they stated in unison. Sam took off flying, Starfire and Danny following as the others headed for the T-car.
