I am back people. Yay! Sorry, about last week though. I like to think for a while before I start on a new chapter or chapters. I got some things to say first though. As much as I like to give credits to some author who make good romance stories, most of these stories are about (gasp) Robin and Raven and Star and BB! I can't believe these people, there is more interaction of Robin/Star and Beast Boy/Raven than that. I am still confused, but I let that slide, not hating it or anything. And it seems that Harry Potter makes an appearance in this section too. But I believe only Raven should go to the school, since she is the only magical one of the team. But all in all, all is right in the world, ain't that right my pretty little kitty. (Pets a catgirl next to him) Oh yeah, no one gets a dedication this time. NO ONE got the people I chose to bring into the story. (Sobs, still petting the catgirl) Well, so major love scene for BB/ Rae in this chapter.
Disclaimer: Never had and never will that's my motto…wait. My real one is 'sure why not'. Still don't own Teen Titans.
Chapter 4: Hitting the books…Literally
All the titans followed John and Felicia through the winding corridors call the Jump City High School. They saw other teachers, all which gave them a rather surprised look to the titans.
"This here is the English hall," John said, "A bit further down the hall is where all Poetry classes takes place. Come on, I got to show you the best part of the school." He walked a bi faster, leading them towards a rather large set of doors.
"Wow, what's more interesting than hallways and classrooms," Raven said dryly, "and to add to the excitement, a pair of doors that lead to other winding corridors of hallways and classrooms, leading us deeper into this labyrinth." Beast Boy held back a laugh. John stopped in front of the doors, and turned back to the titans.
"This is where most of the students go to take a break from class during lunch. I find it very relaxing and enjoyable. I hope you guys find it relaxing, too." He opened the doors and all the titans jaws dropped to the floor. It was like looking at a small park, trees where everywhere, all different from one another, even a patch of Bonsai trees were growing on a small miniature cliff with a small waterfall. It was also half of a small zoo, everything from squirrels, rabbits, and many exotic birds were there. There were also some cats and dogs there too. All the titans were amazed by this and walk into the courtyard.
"Oh… there is no way I could possibly say about this small forest of living beings." Starfire said, in totally awe.
"Its so…." Raven was trying to look for the words, but John finished for her.
"Peaceful?"
"Yeah, that's it." The Titans struggled to think how they could possibly accomplished this feat, but they found none. John then moved them from the courtyard to other class rooms, but the titans now gave the school more respect than before. They were coming from the last hallway, no classrooms were in the hall, and by the way John looked. Something was here, something bad happen. The titans came across a huge tack board; on it was a large group of pictures, students were smiling as they held up books, peace signs, each other, or just plain goofing around. In the middle of it all was a small plaque, gold plating with several names on it. But the title sent shivers down the titans' backs.
In loving memory of the students that died on November 23, 2002
"What happen?" Robin asked, after a few minutes at looking at the plaque.
"That's the Reading Club. (Tacky, yes, but this club exist in my school, and it's the bomb /holds up a real bomb/ See they gave me-BOOM!.... this) I was in it, but I did not go on the trip." Felicia said
"So was I, neither of us could go." John added.
"They were leaving for Gotham City Library when the bus got hit by a drunk, truck driver." Felicia said all the happiness she had disappeared entirely. "Mostly all of died on that bus, everyone except my cousin." Her ears drooped a bit, "His girlfriend died before his eye, he said he was conscience throughout the whole ordeal. His girlfriend was also my best friend."
"Sorry." Was all Robin could say.
"Hey man." John came to him and pats him on the back, "Don't let this get you down. You guys can't be everywhere at once. You're team did not exist yet anyways."
"Still…"
"Come on. Lets get out of here." John led them out to the front of the school.
"See you guys later. I got some things to do." He ran back inside, leaving Felicia standing by herself. Starfire floated up to her and gave her a friendly hug.
"We will meet again, Yes?" she smiled, Felicia smile back and nodded.
"I got to get home. I see you guys at school on Monday." She turned to walk down the street.
"You don't need a ride?" Beast Boy asked. Felicia shakes her head and continued down the sidewalk and soon was out of titan's sight.
/Back at the tower/
A few hours after getting back home, the titans were doing what they did best when there was nothing to do, they did their own things. Cyborg and Robin were playing fighting game, (Dead or Alive. Hehehe) while Starfire cheered them on, but mostly for Robin. Raven was meditating on the roof, but she could focus for some reason. –Something is wrong; it feels like something is missing- At that moment, she saw a small bird carrying what appeared to be a very familiar book. Raven eyes grew and she quickly got down and went into her room. She ran to the trunk and opens it to find only a small note left by Beast Boy.
Raven
Meet me at the island outside of the bay as soon as possible
Beast Boy
-I am so going to kill him- Raven thought, but then, why Beast Boy would let Raven find him. –Why is he doing this? I must find the answer before the book does something to him, so I can do it myself.- Raven quickly went outside and flew to the small island in the bay. It was too small for any home to be on, meaning that there was no one around miles to hear any screams. She flew around till she spotted Beast Boy standing holding the book in his hands, looking up at her. She landed a few feet in front of him and slowly walk forward.
"Beast Boy."
"Raven."
"Give me the book."
"No." he said, taking in a deep breath of what could be his last bit of air. He started to talk. "Raven, I don't want to see you hurt, again." Raven said nothing. She just gave him a odd look, -Why does he care so much.- She was about to speak, when the book spoke up.
"Raven, are you blind?"
"Wha..What!?"
"I said, Are you blind?" Raven gave the book a death glare, but she gave the 'book' her answer.
"No you stupid book, I am not blind at all."
"You must be, because can't you see that he cares for you." Raven took one look in Beast Boy's face to see it, and she been ignoring that ever since the 'incident'.
"Raven, you got to let go of this. I can't stand for you to get hurt again. It almost made me a killer when you almost died in Mammoth's hand." Raven was surprised, Beast Boy, a killer. Impossible.
"When I saw you just lying still like that on the floor, you weren't breathing, and I changed, into that monster again." He walked towards her, book still in his hands. "I was scared that I will kill someone, but at that moment, I did not care. As long as I got revenge for you." He was practically in her face. Raven slowly reached for the book, but he gave it to her instead. "But if you want to hold on to the past, I will understand."
At first, Raven gave a sigh of relief. Suddenly, she felt weak, as she just lost her powers. Beast Boy eyes went wide as the Book suddenly started to laugh and white light engulf Raven and the book. He tried to get through, but Raven was thrown out of the light, into him. They landed roughly and both look up to see the bookwas changing back to regular form, his dragon form.
"Thank you Beast Boy." The dragon said, laughing still, flames leaping from his mouth. "I found a way to get back to my true form, but I need Raven to do it." He looks back at the main land. "Now your world will now belong to me." Beast Boy started to tremble, once again, he found himself at a loss. No form could take him…except one form. He felt Raven put her hand over his heart.
"Beast Boy," she whispered softly, "I going to do something…something to stop him…But I need time…Will you give it to me?" Beast Boy nodded. She started to chant, a different verse of words that her own. He felt something inside him unlocked, something familiar. She stopped chanting and looked into his eyes. "I unlock your beast; now just give me five minutes." Beast Boy's understood this; he got up and ran before the dragon.
"Pitiful being. You dare try to stop me."
"I will try, and I will succeed in trying stopping you." Beast Boy said to him, spite flying from his mouth.
"If you think that spell will hold me again, then you are seriously mistaken. I found a way to stop that." He turned to Raven, who was floating, chanting more odd spells, her magic surrounding her body. He turned back to Beast Boy, only to find that was changing into a form he most feared. Beast Boy felt power and agility run through him like water…no more like liquid steel. He looks up to the dragon, and gave a mighty roar. The dragon merely smirked.
"Pitiful."
-I show you pitiful- Beast Boy thought angrily. The dragon took a swipe at him, but was surprised by how fast he moves. It was like looking through a high speed camera, where everything itsaw slowed down, frame by frame. Beast Boy saw it all, the swipe of claws at where he use to be, the look of the dragon from smirk to startled, and he took that advantage be give the dragon a good punch to the face, sending the dragon flying through several trees. The dragon was least (Read: most) surprised by this. –How was that possible? No mortal, genetic enhancement or not, could ever do that.- He started to take a deep breath, flames dripping from his mouth, he had it with the boy.
"You die now, you foolish boy!" he roared. Flames leaped at Beast Boy, but he just smirked as flames engulfed, burning anything, living or not, to ashes. The dragon stopped and looks at the chaos he caused. "He is dead Raven, and so are y-" Beast Boy appeared before his face, Beast Boy face told him what had happen, 'You missed me', and threw several punches at the dragon. However, the dragon got back up from the punishment. –HOW IS THIS HAPPENING! HOW CAN HE HURT ME! Wait, calm yourself, it must be magic.- He closed his eyes and reopened them. His eyes weren't normal for any dragon; his eyes could see magic, any kind of magic, from any one. He was startled to find Beast Boy body radiating with magic, a familiar black magic. –So, that is how he is hurting me, still, brute force won't put me down. Magically enhance or not.- He then caught a glimpse of dark energy feeding Beast Boy, he followed the trail to Raven. He had drained her of magic, and yet, her she was, full of magic, and it continued to grow.
"Foolish girl. No amount of magic you throw at me will harm me." He said walking on all four to Raven. Beast Boy was about to stop him, but Raven sent him thought message.
-Let him come, I will finish this. Thanks for giving me time-
Beast Boy stayed were he was, scared for Raven that she may be over her head. Raven stopped chanting, but her eyes still gave a bright white light.
"Bring it on." She said. The dragon took a deep breath,
"Goodbye Raven." He unleashed green flames, cover the surrounding area around her in fire, and through the fire, he saw her smirk. Suddenly, the green flames turned black, following the trail from the source of the fire into the dragon's mouth. He snapped his mouth shut, but it was too late. He got a mouth full of it and felt the magic in his stomach.
Raven float through the fire, her eye showed nothing of what she had done. The dragon felt something was wrong, his stomach was felt all wrong; in fact he could feel magic spreading through him.
"Your skin may give you a defense in magic, but your insides are not." He opened his eyes in horror as he felt weight in his stomach, which turned out to be his 'stomach'
"What have you done?" he clutches his stomach, now the magic was spreading through out his body. Beast Boy appeared behind Raven, just out of thin air, and transformed back.
"A simple spell really. One you taught me, how to turn things into stone. I just amplified the amount of magic need for the spell. Even as we speak, you body is turning to stone, from the inside out." She said coldly. Her eyes showed no remorse for what she did. "You hurt me, and I will hurt you back." Tears stung her eyes, "And you lied to me."
"There is one thing is did not….lie …about…" he manage to cough out. "I…did not….lie …about…you being ….a …beautiful….maiden." he skin soon started to change colors, from jet black to a stone brown. He took one last breath before he fully changed into a stone dragon. Silence followed for a few moments. Raven turned to Beast Boy, "Destroy it." She said softly. Beast Boy nodded and shift back it his beast form. Raven closed her eyes as she heard hard stone breaking apart. After a few minutes, she felt a hand on her shoulder, she turned to Beast Boy. She fell to her knees, weak of the lack of magic she had. Beast Boy kneeled in front her, putting his forehead against hers. Raven looked up to him, with him being so close to her.
"Is he lying?" Beast Boy got closer to her, lips almost touching.
"No, you are a maiden, just a whole lot pretty." Raven heart was pounding, telling her to kiss him, just let it all go. But it was Beast Boy that got the first shot. He kissed her, it was long and sweet. His arms wrapped around her, holding her steady. For Raven, she was lost in the bliss.
/Tower/
"Robin."
"Yeah Starfire." Robin looks up from the news paper to see Starfire looking out the window.
"Is today a special day. Like the returning to the 'school'"
"Um…No. Why." He got up and looks out the window.
"So why is there firework in the sky?"
"Star, I don't think that is fireworks." He watches as more explosions took place in the air, a trail of black energy shot up and exploded in the air.
"What is it then?"
"I have no idea."
HAha. I finally did it. I got them together, or is it too good to be true. Well, onto other things. I was wondering the fanfiction when I stumble across the most unlikely couple in the world. Drum roll please. I found an Aqualad and Blackfire romance. (Gasps from readers and reviews) I know, got me too. I first, I thought I was reading wrong, and then I thought the kid was on weed or something. But the more I thought about it, the more it seems to go together. I want a vote on it. YOU MUST VOTE FOR IT. Should I bring in Aqualad and Blackfire and have them get together. Yeah, and this chapter is longer too. (Sees mob setting up tents from window) I guess the mob likes the long chapters.
Laterz
p.s. Felicia, John, and the mysterious 'cousin' are from a game called Darkstalkers, not the cousin though. I made him up. You should read my other story, I want a review from one of you, reviewers
