A/N: Yes! Spring Break began yesterday! Woo hoo! I might update sooner because of my break, so look for chapter 6. This chapter may be rather boring and uneventful, sorry, but I'm just building up to the next chapter, which should be good. I don't have anything else to say, so READ AND ENJOY!

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Teen Titans, you must be a real idiot if you think I do.


Chapter Six: Tracking a Demon
Beast Boy wiped away his own tears and rubbed his bloodshot eyes. Gloomily he turned around and walked back to the main room. Starfire was crying on Robin's shoulder and even Robin looked rather upset. Yet, Cyborg was sitting on the couch flipping through channels on the t.v. seemingly unfazed.

"I won't sit here idly and just let Raven be abused," Beast Boy announced. "I don't know about you guys, but I have to do something" I have to find her. She obviously needs help, even if she doesn't ask for it." Robin nodded to Beast Boy, but Cyborg continued to watch the television screen.

"You'll never find her just by walking around the city," Cyborg said without turning around.

"Well it's better than sitting around passively!" Beast Boy yelled, angry with Cyborg for appearing not to care about Raven.

"Actually its not," Cyborg answered calmly. "I at least have a plan, unlike you. I put a microscopic tracker on her, she'll never even notice it."

Beast Boy couldn't believe it, he would have never thought of that, but then he remembered something. "What good will it do if she goes to some other dimension."

"Well ever since that day she was taken, I've been doing some research, just in case she was still alive. I made a little machine that might just solve that problem, it's just like time travel, but not. I haven't tested it yet, but I think it's almost ready," Cyborg told Beast Boy.

"Huh?" Beast Boy didn't understand what machine Cyborg was talking about.

"I made a machine that creates a kind of portal to other dimensions, although I'm not sure how safe it is," Cyborg explained.

"Why did you just tell us this now?" Beast Boy asked.

"Well it's not like we could have searched every dimension for her. Do you know how many dimensions there are? Let's just say there's more than your little mind can comprehend," Cyborg said jokingly.

"Haha, very funny," Beast Boy said sarcastically. "Well, if you put the tracker on her where is she?" he asked impatiently.

"I don't know, I'm given her some time to get there first before I check," Cyborg answered as he turned his attention back to the television.

Beast Boy paced behind the couch anxiously. "Can we check now?"

"Just give her a few minutes. You wanna play some Game Station?" Cyborg asked.

"No, I want to find Raven," Beast Boy said angrily.

"Fine, fine! Let's go check it out," Cyborg said as he got up off of the couch. "The transmitter is in my room."

Beast Boy ran out of the main room ahead of Cyborg toward the metal man's room. "You two coming?" Cyborg asked Starfire and Robin.

"Yeah, we'll be there in a minute," Robin said for Starfire.

Cyborg shrugged and followed Beast Boy up to his room. Computers covered the walls in Cyborg's room. Beast Boy stood in the middle of the room as he looked around the room in amazement and confusion. The door slid open and Cyborg walked in lazily.

"Who said you could come into my room?" Cyborg asked jokingly.

Wiggling impatiently, Beast Boy waited to see which computer screen would give him the answers he sought. Cyborg walked up to a computer screen which showed thousands of numbers on it. Curiously looking over Cyborg's shoulder, Beast Boy had no clue what Cyborg was looking for.

"Hmm," Cyborg grumbled as he stared at the numbers on the screen. "Uh huh."

Beast Boy was even more confused, what could be so interesting about a bunch of numbers? "What does it say?" Beast Boy questioned.

"According to this she's in another dimension. Dimension 613, I've never heard anything about his dimension, but like I said before, there are billions," Cyborg told him.

"So...? What do we do now?" Beast Boy asked impatiently.

"Well... I'm not sure," Cyborg said as he created a plan in his head. "I guess I just gotta enter the exact location into my invention and then we try it out."

"Where's your invention?" Beast Boy asked as he looked around the room, nothing inside resembled a machine that could create portals, but he had never seen one, so he had no clue what he was looking for.

"It's in the garage, it wouldn't fit in here," Cyborg told him as he walked out of the room. Beast Boy and Cyborg met Starfire and Robin in the hallway.

"Done already?" Robin asked.

"Yeah, no thanks to you two," Cyborg said with a hint of playfulness.

"Where is Raven located?" Starfire inquired.

"Some other dimension," Beast Boy told them as Cyborg and him continued to walk towards the garage. "Come on," Beast Boy motioned for the two to follow them, and Starfire and Robin followed obediently.

Everyone followed Cyborg, walking in silence. Finally they reached the garage, which was on bottom level on the tower. Inside the large room was the T-Car, the R-Cycle, and the T-Ship on its huge launchpad, but over in the corner was something none of them, besides Cyborg, had ever seen. The machine looked somewhat like the black hole machine the Brain had made, but it was considerably smaller. The device was a large ring that was big enough for three or four people to walk through at once and rested on the floor. Next to the large circle was a small podium decorated with many different buttons and knobs.

Walking up to the small podium, Cyborg began to press buttons and pull levers as the others watched with curiosity. "Okay, if I did this right we should be able to run through the ring and be transported to where ever Raven is," Cyborg told them. "But remember, this machine hasn't been tested, so I don't know how safe it is."

Beast Boy ignored Cyborg's warning and charged towards the ring. Before Cyborg could yell for Beast Boy to stop it was too late. Leaping through the ring, Beast Boy was zapped, but only fell through the ring and rolled on the floor on the other side of the device. Once he came to halt, he laid unmoving on the ground for a moment. Then, he sat up, Beast Boy's short green hair was sticking straight up and his eyes were wide. "Dude!" Beast Boy yelled.

The other Titan's chuckled slightly at Beast Boy's startled expression, he didn't appear to be hurt, he had just gotten a little shock. "Oops," Cyborg said innocently. "That wasn't supposed to happen."

"What happened?" Beast Boy asked.

"You got a little shock, but I don't know why that happened. My calculations were all correct," Cyborg said while rubbing on of his metal hands on his bald head. "This may take awhile to fix."

Beast Boy's face dropped in disappointment. "We need to get this fixed soon," whined the green boy.

"I know," Cyborg sighed. "But Raven's been gone for three years, I'm sure a couple of days won't make a big difference."

"Can I help you fix it? Maybe if we work together on it we can get it fixed up faster," Beast Boy suggested hopefully.

"Sure," Cyborg normally would have declined the offer, but he knew how important this was to Beast Boy and this way he could at least feel like he was accomplishing something.


Raven held the picture Beast Boy had given her as she sat on her small bed. Beast Boy's words were ringing in her head, "no regrets," Raven had too many regrets now, it was too late to turn back. Sighing, Raven knew those days were over for good. The door creaked as it began to open, quickly Raven slipped the photograph under her pillow and out of Slasher's sight.

"I'm proud of you," Slasher said immediately. "You handled that situation very responsibly and you really knew what had to be done."

"Thank you," Raven said weakly, forcing herself to say thanks, although he was the reason she couldn't be with her friends.

"You should get some rest, I have a big job for you tomorrow," Slasher told her as he turned and walked out of the room. Raven felt somewhat relieved when Slasher left.

Laying down on her bed, Raven took the picture out again and stared at it longingly. Slowly she drifted off into a deep sleep. Once again Raven was haunted with nightmares, but this night mare was new, unlike the same one she had been having for so long. In this horrible dream she did the unspeakable. One by one she murdered the Titans, it was a gruesome and horrific sight as Raven slaughtered Robin, then Cyborg, then Starfire, and lastly Beast Boy. Blood was everywhere and Raven didn't even her their pleas to her or their terrified screams, all she heard was Beast Boy's voice saying "No regrets, Raven," over and over again. The dream just kept repeating itself like a broken record as it skipped in her mind. Every time the nightmare replayed, Raven could see the insane grin on her face as she butchered her friends and the overjoyed expression on her face after she had finished murdering Beast Boy.

The next morning Raven finally woke up after what was probably the hundredth time the nightmare had repeated. Raven felt tears on her face and her eyes were blurry from crying in her sleep. The picture was still in her hand and she quickly stuffed it under her pillow, not wanting to be reminded of her friends now.

After about thirty minutes of attempting to expel the nightmare from her mind, Slasher walked in. "Hello," he greeted a bit cheerfully. Raven sat up and stared at Slasher. "Today is the big day," he said.

"What's today?" Raven asked, not understanding why it was a supposed "big" day.

"Today you have your first large assignment," Slasher told her.


Beast Boy had stayed up late trying to help Cyborg figure out what was wrong with the machine. Finally, at 4 in the morning Cyborg made Beast Boy go to bed and told him they could work on it tomorrow.

The next day, Beast Boy hadn't been able to sleep much, but he came into the main room at about 10. Eagerly waiting for Cyborg to wake up, Beast Boy paced the room until Robin ordered him to sit down and eat some breakfast. Although Beast Boy wasn't very hungry, he had a bowl of cereal and ate it with out paying any attention.

After waiting for what seemed to be forever, Cyborg walked in tiredly and ate his breakfast in a daze. Finally, once Cyborg finished breakfast the alarm began to blare. "What is it now?" Beast Boy asked impatiently.

Robin ran to the computer in front of the large television. Then, he began typing rapidly. Suddenly a large image of Bumblebee appeared on the large screened television. "Hey, Titans. We need your help, now! Who ever this guy is, he's good. I don't think we can beat him," Bumblebee told them in a worried tone that was unlike her.

"Don't worry, we'll be there as soon as possible,"Robin replied. Bumblebee nodded and left to continue fighting. Robin turned around and looked at the others with a concerned look on his face. "Teen Titans, go!" he yelled, although it didn't sound as enthusiastic than usual and a bit unsure. The four Titans ran to the T-Ship and took off for their destination.


A/N: This chapter wasextremelyboring, but I'm just building up to the next chapter, which should be up a little early because of my SPRING BREAK. Okay, I just got Teen Titans #34 this week and I am so confused. I accidentally missed the Teen Titans Annual #1, so if anyone read please tell me what happened. One, I didn't even know Slade had a daughter and does everyone of his living kids have to be a Titan at one point? Secondly, I can't believe they split and that Raven and Gar already broke up. If Victor can't fix this whole mess I am going to die, it may be extreme, but I am extremely obsessed. Please, anyone who can help me on this, TELL ME WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON! Thanks. Oh and please review if you can.

Shade Spitfire: Nice threat, I like the whole inside skin thing. Since my flesh would be turned inside out stuff would probably stick to me, it would be sick, but kind of cool. I didn't even notice it was April Fool's Day, well happy April Fool's Day.

Lilliesofthevalley: I'm so pleased that you liked that chapter. I almost started to cry while I was writing, but unlike you, I know what's going to happen later.

Sage Vale: Actually I don't particularly like Harry Potter, but I'm an exception. Yeah, that last chapter was totally emotional, I must be so Emo, LOL. You'll have to wait a little longer.

xZAGFAN: Thank you, I hope this was soon enough. :)

Moon's Darkness: Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. I don't have much else to say.

bb-and-raven-rock: I might try to end it happy, even if every thing is sad up until then, but I'm not sure yet if I should. Overjoyed, eh? You're too kind. :)

Blondepunk62442: Sorry your vacations over, going back to school sucks. I think my Spring break is next week, woo hoo! Sorry Steve, but if break was longer than it wouldn't be appreciated as much. You're extremely lucky that you don't have to go to school.

Hide-because-it's-me: Okay, so that chapter was pretty good, if I don't say so myself. whispers I know I'm right. The government is involved in every conspiracy. I'll keep a low profile for now. I know we can crack this thing. stops whispering Oh yeah, great weather, just yesterday their was a hail storm and the news said it was the coldest day in the history of the world. Excellent song, encore! I'm running out of huge, delicious treats to give you. Here's a monkeys paw for good luck, I guess you can eat it if you want, and a 69 pound apple covered with caramel and chocolate and some nuts. I'm frightened.

beautifulpurpleflame: I'm just getting started. Enjoy!

BunnyKitty4434: This story definitely isn't over yet. Yes, I had to fight back tears as I wrote it, I'm just glad you're as into the story as I am.

ravenmasteroftele: We need to make all of the arrangements and send out the invitations. This is going to be a lot of hard work, but as long as I'm with you I don't care. I'm so excited! I say we buy a panda, that sounds nice.

XnvrmoreX: For the moment there will probably only be subtle happy parts, but I will try to end the story in a cheerful manner. Until then, you'll just have to suffer through all of the tragedy.

ChocolateSoGood: Damn, how did you know it was a tracking device. Was it really that obvious? Thanks for reassuring me about the homework stuff, LOL. Have a good day.

Haven Artemis Roth: I won't give away the story, so you'll just have to read to find out Raven's fate. Slasher doesn't like Raven in that way, I think it's more of a family kind of bond, if you know what I mean. You gave me an idea, I should totally end the story with Raven choosing Slasher over Beast Boy and then she kills BB, maybe I will do that, it would be a major twist.

BlackoutHart: I say we ban together and burn ever school in the world, or at least your school and mine. Double fudge brownies! I love really, really doughy brownies, thanks! You should hand out Die Slasher goody bags.

Shay Bo Bay: Welcome to my world. Thank you, I can't wait to hear your cheer, I have a feeling it's gonna be really good, well if you made it obviously it'll be good.

WickedWitchoftheSE: Thank you, that chapter took me a while, but I was rather pleased with the outcome. So, how's life?

Monitor Supreme: Thank you. I thought that might be confusing, what I meant was that every other time he has hugged someone they were the ones to hug him while he just received it, but this time he actually gave the hug. I don't know if that makes any sense, but I hope it does.

queenOFanime535: Thank you, General. (Salutes) I'm just completing my mission, sir. I have spring break next week or this week, depending on when you read this. So I'll update quicker. See you next time, General.

Moonlit Goddess12: I am so glad you were able to get that into it, I was worried I would be the only one who cried when I wrote it. You're too kind, my ego really shouldn't be inflated any more or it might burst. Better a little late than never, although it wasn't late since you did before the next chapter. I can't wait to hear what you thought of this chapter.
