Chapter Thirteen -
One Winged Raven


: Gaia - Shinra HQ :


The entire Shinra building was forced to evacuate because of Slade's assault. The small army that Reeve commanded was easily defeated by the likes of Terra, Plasmus and Slade. With the huge complex completely to himself, Slade couldn't help but feel powerful.

Slade walked down a long corridor, littered with various debris and rocks. He waited for the door to automatically slide open and then he entered what had essentially become his new workshop, Hojo's Laboratory.

It was completely ironic that Meteor had nearly destroyed all of Midgar, but the one part of the Shinra building that had survived had been this lab.

'I have no idea who he was..but this Hojo must have been a fool. With such technology and resources, I would have long ago conquered my own world.' Slade thought to himself as he continued to walk.

A cold voice interrupted him inside his own mind.

'Then that proves which of our world is dominant, now doesn't it?' Sephiroth challenged.

'What do you want?' Slade asked.

'It is time that you give me the host we spoke of earlier. I have gathered enough energy to fully incarnate into it, instead of simply possessing it.'

'That's fine. But know this, after I give you what you so eagerly yearn for, I expect you to give me the power I deserve.'

'You have my word.'

Slade walked right by the vertical operating table that held the still sub-dued Raven on it. He didn't stop to acknowledge her.

He stopped at the computer console and began entering several commands and codes, given to him by Sephiroth. A large steel door, formerly thought to be a wall, began to rise upwards.

Behind it an eerie red light glowed over several small pod-like tanks.

A computerized voice spoke as the mechanical door locked above head.

"Welcome, professor Hojo. Readying clones for inspection."

Each tank released clouds of steam as the pods simultaneously clicked open. Slade slowly approached the closest one and looked inside. A man with long silver hair was lying motionless in the tube. It was breathing, but very slightly.

"Wake up. It's time for your operation, and I like it better when they're awake.." Slade said.


: Gaia - The Highwind (Briefing Room) :


"Great. So now what do we do?" Reeve asked, looking to Cloud.

The Titans, minus Raven and Beast Boy,and also without the Comet, sat across from AVALANCHE members in the Briefing room of the flying ship..

Cloud looked down. He had told everyone everything that had happened, except for the part about Sephiroth and Aeris. He himself wasn't sure enough to mention it, and worry the others.

'If it's him...I'll handle it on my own...Aeris,she told me to-'

"So you're saying you have no memory of even taking her?" Cyborg asked, shrugging.

"Huh? Oh..yeah bits and pieces. Like I remember fighting with that Comet guy." Cloud responded.

"That doesn't matter now. I'm just worried about Raven..and Beast Boy." Robin said.

If either of them were seriously hurt, he'd never forgive Terra. As for Slade, that was a whole other story.

"Right. So what do we do? Try and storm the place?" Tifa asked.

"Right! What's stoppin' us?" Barret asked.

"It's not that simple. Slade know's he has us because he has Raven. If we go anywhere near there, he won't hesitate to kill her." Robin said.

"But we must do something!" Starfire said.

"Reeve, is there any other way to get into the Shinra building?" Yuffie looked over to Reeve.

"Yes, there use to be a huge underground water duct from Junon leading all the way into the Shinra building. It was planned to be a dock for submarines but it stopped running, so we may be able to use it." he said.

"To Junon it is then!" Cid said, leaving the room and heading towards the Cockpit.

"Cyborg, what happened to the weapons you got from Wall Market?" Tifa asked.

"When Terra took me down, I dropped most of them." He held up his arm, and a small opening shot out.

Cyborg reached inside, and produced a small thin metal rod, no longer than 2 inches long. He then pulled out a pair of small metal gloves. He handed the metal gauntlets to Starfire and the rod to Robin.

"I didn't know what else to get you."

Robin gripped the rod, and it quickly sprang outward expanding it's length. It was very much similar to his own staff, except then ends were noticeably broader, yet the metal was much lighter. The staff also held several Materia slots in it.

"Is that the..?" Nanaki started.

"Mythril Rod. It is." Cloud said.

"Cloud..." Tifa started.

She knew that he had never truly forgotten about Aeris. Though she tried to work through it, it always deeply hurt her to know that she didn't fully own his heart.

'Cloud...I know he's hiding something'

"Hey look, Tifa! Aren't those your old Metal Knuckle gloves?" Yuffie asked.

"Oh yeah..I guess they are. They'd be perfect for a tough girl like you, Star!" Tifa said.

"If you say so.." Starfire said, slipping the gloves over her large wrists bands.


: Gaia - Midgar Area:


The Comet slowly sauntered along across a path with his arms folded lazily behind his head, looking upward..He barely noticed he was walking right by Midgar in the distance. He had just flew over a mountain range and was now walking towards Kalm.

'I don't even know where I'm going...'

Having no particular place to be, he had decided to just go out on his own. He'd have to find his own way back to the other world.

"Hell, they kicked me out. I might as well call them enemies." He stopped and looked behind him once before sighing loudly.

'Well, maybe not enemies, but definitely not friends.'

A huge rock suddenly smashed into Comet, sending him flying for a distance before crashing to the earth.

"Ugh!"

"You...you're not a Titan..." Terra said, looking down at him in the crater that was left in the ground.

"No kidding, bitch! What do you think you're doing?" Comet slowly floated out of the whole, grasping his head.

His fist glowed red and he lowered them.

"Heh..you know..that green guy..he's lookin' for you."

Terra's eye's quickly went wide.
'Beast Boy...'

This one was one the rare moments that Terra actually held conscience, at least inside. It was the first time that the technology had hesitated, even if for only a second.

"Beast Boy...I...Slade!"

She clutched her head and shook violently before throwing her arms down.

"Who cares. I don't like that loser." she quickly spat.

"Good. Then he won't mind if I get a little payback!"

Comet shot forth with both arms forward towards Terra. Several walls of earth shot up to protect her , but he easily broke through, causing explosions as he did. Terra flew back several feet.
Back flipping in the air, she landed on a flying rock and sent forth a blizzard of pointed rocks at him. As the stones neared him, the Comet performed a powerful clap, triggering a huge explosion around him. The rocks were disintegrated instantly.

"You gotta have something better than that!" He yelled as he flew around the large columns shooting up from the ground.

Comet casually landed when she became winded. Terra clenched her fists and sent forth several more boulders. Comet charged his power on his first two fingers, and let the boulders slam into them. Each one exploded on impact, causing him no damage.

Comet grinned as he held up his fist, the green Materia flickering to life in it. A large shard of ice appeared before Terra and she was instantly knocked to the ground.

"Ah!"

Terra lay on the ground and slammed her fist in the ground. As she did, her body began to glow with a bright red aura. The energy gathered around her and she slowly stood, looking shocked.

'No..could this be.. her Limit?' Comet stood ready.

Terra's eyes turned completely yellow as she slowly floated in the air. A yellow explosion could be seen in the distance. Seconds later, a thin line of energy came blazing forth, causing the ground to shake. Comet dove out of the way as it quickly cut a corner. It was obvious now that it was moving in a huge square, covering at least half a mile.

"Ha was that it?"

The earth began to shake more fiercely , forcing Comet to take refuge in the air. The sky quickly darkened around her as the struggled to lift her arms over her head. As she did, the huge mass of earth began to lift in the air. As it got higher, it began to round out , until it formed a perfect circle.

"No!" Comet shot toward her.

Terra caught the debris that fell from her comet and sent them into Comet. He was caught off guard and was plowed into the earth.

'No..not like this..'

He looked up and saw the huge rock mass began to harden and shrink, causing more debris to rain down on him. Flying from side to side, he managed to avoid most of them, but the last group nailed him.

At the same time, Comet's own Limit was building with him.

"It's now or never!"

In one swift movement, he flipped twice in the air and slammed into the earth, sending out the wave of energy that covered the ground.

"Air Raid!" The energy shot up in powerful volleys, at least 60 of them.

Gathering as much energy as he could after using so much power, he growled as he bolted up towards the comet. He actually speed past his Air Raid.

By now Terra's comet had become completely crystal. It shot downwards towards the Comet and his onslaught of energy.


: Shinra HQ (Hojo's Lab) :


"Well...did it work?" Slade looked down at clone's body, which had been infused with even more Mako.

The eye's quickly shot open and he slowly sat up. Sephiroth looked at his own hand before him and smiled.

'Now...this world is mine.'

Don't get too comfortable, there's still the manner of the girl, remember?" Slade said to him, pointing to Raven.

"It is time for me to build my army."


: Shinra HQ (Lobby) :


'Alright..maybe leaving the others wasn't such a good idea...'

Beast Boy walked through the still formed lobby of the Shinra building and up the winding stairs. He stepped up to another platform and entered and elevator.

Inside, there was a slot for a key card. Beast Boy inserted the card that Reeve had given them. It had given them clearance to even go to the President's room.

"Maybe there in Reeve's office?" He entered the number and the doors closed.

The elevator started moving up. After about 30 seconds, a loud explosion could be heard far away. The elevator started shaking and eventually stopped moving.

'Ok, better go investigate that...'

Sliding a panel back on the ceiling of the elevator, Beast Boy climbed up to the shaft. Next he transformed into a small hummingbird and flew up towards a smoking door that was just barely open.

Beast Boy turned into a green mouse and slipped through before returning to him human state. He was in a long corridor that had a thin layer of smoke in it.

'Sooo... if I was a maniacal villain bent on ruining people's lives, where would I hide?' Beast Boy asked himself.

He came across a directory in front of two paths. Going left would lead you into a wall of debris that Beast Boy could see from where he was standing.

"I'm guessing that way."

Walking down the clear path, Beast Boy entered the large laboratory. From where he was standing there was only one visible light and it was quite a distance away. Prodding through the dimly lit lab, Beast Boy managed to avoid most of the unseen obstacles, but ran into a few others.

"Oww.."

Rubbing the side of his head, he slowly walked around a corner. Looking up he quickly shrieked and ducked back around the corner, praying he hadn't be heard.

'Okay Beast Boy. Hero time...maybe not.'

He quickly looked down at his belt, expecting to see his yellow communicator, but it wasn't there.

'Oh crap! I left it on the Highwind!'


: Gaia - Junon :


"Okay. We're all set. You guys ready?" Cloud looked at the Titans who had been waiting at the entrance of the tunnel while the others went to get the supplies that would possibly need.

A few Ethers, some Hi-Potions, the usual.

"Let's go." Robin nodded.

He had thought it would be a good idea for his team to take some Materia with them as well.

Starfire had chosen to use white magic, so she had a Holy Materia and a Restore Materia. She didn't want to use too many because Yuffie warned her that Materia took away some of the user's physical strength.

Cyborg opted up use long range magic, but also heeded Yuffie's warning. He used a Lightning Materia combined with an All Materia. Cyborg also equipped a Cover Materia to increase his own durability.

Robin decided to use Materia that would enhance his own fighting skills. He used a Double Attack Materia, a Counter Attack Materia, and a Magic Counter Materia. He figured that it couldn't hurt to have some offensive Materia, so he took a fire Materia with him as well.

As they entered the large tunnel, each of the Titan's communicators began to go off. Robin quickly snatched his up.

"Beast Boy! Where are you?"

The voice on the other end was clouded by static and it was obvious that they couldn't hear Robin's transmission.

"Who is it?" Cyborg asked.

"This is --met call--g the Ti-ans! I'm gettin- thrash-- -- Brat Boy's st--id g---friend! I need back up!"

Yuffie shook her head slowly.

"Smooth Comet. Real smooth."


: Gaia - Midgar Area :


"Damn it! When I waste her, don't come crying to the Comet!"

Comet lay in a huge crater on his knees and on one forearm. His head rested on his forearm and he tightly gripped the transmission button on Beast Boy's communicator. He had picked it up when Beast Boy bailed and had accidentally kept it.

When he didn't get a response , he dropped the communicator. Comet gripped his sore ribs and struggled to get to his feet, but he could not. A thin, constant stream of blood dripped from his forehead. His dreads hanged down covering his face, and also his sight.

'That is...if I can even make it out of here...'

Comet's costume was in shreds and bruises covered his body. He had managed to destroy Terra's comet, but the toll it took on his body was more than evident. He had an Enemy Skill Materia, but he had no idea that it had the power to heal his wounds.

A boot swiftly kicked Comet in the side, causing him to roll over and fall on his back.

"Ugh!"

"Calling your friends for help? I'm disappointed Comet." Terra smiled as she swept her hair behind her ear.

She stepped on Comet's wrist, forcing him to drop Beast Boy's communicator. She slowly picked it up.

Comet coughed violently, sending forth a spurt of blood.

"Friends? Ha. Hardly."

"You know, I've heard all about you and your brother. You're two of the most renowned thieves in all of Jump City." Terra said, raising her hand, causing several small pebbles to gather, forming a large spike over Comet's head.

"We do what's needed...tuts." Comet groaned, laughing at his own insults.

Terra scowled before stamping her heavy boot into Comet's sternum, producing another blood-stained cough.

"What a waste. I never would've thought you would become a Titan."

"Far from one, actually. I can't stand those guys."

"Yeah right. I saw you save those guys when I pushed them off the edge." Terra told him.

"Yeah and they paid me back by kicking me out. Why do you think I was walking through the desert alone?"

"Is that so...tell me Mr. Comet, are you looking for work?"

'Let's see. I guess she's asking me to join Slade. I can say no, and get crushed by super-bitch here...or I can take her up on her off and get to pummel the Titans on the winning side. Decisions, decisions...'

"I'll assume the gig comes with full dental, right?"


: Gaia - Shinra HQ (Hojo's Lab) :

"I assume that you've already administered the amplified dose of Mako to the girl?" Sephiroth looked down at the sub-dued Raven.

He cupped her chin and looked at her face from both sides.

"Of course. She hasn't awoken since then." Slade said, standing behind Sephiroth.

Since his partner had been revived, he found a pair of black tights and heavy black boots in the tank the clone had come out of. Slade handed him a small needle.

"Then all that is left, is to make the connection. When we share mother's cells, I will have complete control."

He took Raven's finger and quickly pricked, a small drop of blood beading at the tip. Next he jabbed his own and let the blood come to the surface. As he was brining the two fingers together, he was stopped when something quickly caught his attention.

"Well? What's wrong?" Slade asked.

"Quiet..."

Sephiroth's glowing blue eyes scanned the area, from the floor to the ceiling. In one quick motion, he had flung the needle quickly into the barely visible ceiling. Seconds later, a small green spider fell to the ground, with the needle in one of it's legs. It transformed into Beast Boy who quickly took the pin out of his finger.

"Oww, dude!"

"Restrain him." Sephiroth said.

"Not so fast. I've been fighting both of our enemies since I got here. Let's see what you can do now." Slade said, folding his arms.

"Very well. But this insolence will not go unforgotten."

Beast Boy growled before transforming into a large green rhino. The floor rumbled as he charged Sephiroth who simply thrust his palm outward. An invisible force field was created, that blasted him back into wall and through it. He kept going and burst through another one. He returned to his human state and slammed into one final wall, slumping to the ground.

"Uhhh..."

Sephiroth returned his attention to Raven. Touching her wounded finger with his own, ever so gently. As soon as he did, he own memories flashed through his mind. He saw everything from Raven's first memory in Azarath, to the Titans Tower, to the battle with Trigon, and even her last memory of Slade ejecting the Mako into her.

"It has begun."

' Note from the Author : Chapter Trece , oh it's true. It's damn true.

Sorry about the long time no update! We got a new computer, but they didn't ship the monitor! Unfortunately, my old computer died. But things should be back to normal now.
