A Murder of…Ravens?
Chapter Seven
Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans.
Summary: Oh no, what happened to Raven and Slade? And why DID Slade shock himself as well? Did he plan it? Did he not plan it? There's only one thing to do to find out… Well what are you sittin around and reading this for! Go on and scroll down already!. BBxRaexSlade
'What happened…geez…I feel like…' Her head was throbbing like crazy. She saw Slade standing in front of the lever, he appeared to be thinking quite deeply about something.
SLADE
That wasn't supposed to happen. He had expected a bit of a tingle, as was expected with most experiences that concerns heavy machinery…but not this! Something must have gone wrong… He noticed a slight shuffling where Raven was.
'How are you, Raven?'
'I'd feel better if you took this clamps off of me.'
'As you wish.' The steel clamps immediately unclasped themselves and sunk to the floor.
RAVEN
Now's my chance. If she were to escape from this insane place, she must take her chances and knock Slade out. For some reason, she felt really exhausted, and to add to that, she had this major headache. But nevertheless, if she could just summon a little bit of strength maybe she could…
Azarath Metrion…dark particles were starting to form on her palms. But before she could utter the last phrase of her spell, it disappeared! What? She knew that the strength she had was enough to give her at least a strike of power, how could it disappear?
'Oh, sorry about that, Raven. I'm afraid there's no spell casting today.'
'Wh-what?'
'Yes, all thanks to this machine.' He patted a giant engine like contraption to which the lever was attached to.
'Don't you feel a little tired, little girl?' he continued.
'Well, y-yeah I guess.'
'I thought so. This thing we have here is one of my greatest invention of all time!' He added a little laugh to that. 'The only drawback is that it requires a lot of energy to operate…I'm thinking that the outlet it was plugged to did not give it enough energy, which therefore caused its power-hungry source to find energy elsewhere—meaning the things around it.'
'You mean it's eating up our energy!'
'Precisely. And it will continue to do so until it is satisfied. We have to leave this place.'
He guided Raven to the exit.
SOMEWHERE IN THE CITY
'I swear, Robin, we've looked in every cranny of this city and still we can't find her!' screeched Beast boy.
IN ANOTHER PART OF THE CITY
'To add to that, her locator says that she's too inaccessible to be found. Which isn't possible because those devices are programmed for hundreds of miles! Which is almost as big as the diameter of a country!' screeched Cyborg even louder.
SOMEWHERE ELSE
'Please, not so loud, Cyborg,' said Starfire, 'my Tamaranian ears are not as tolerant as human's ears are to loudness.'
JUST IMAGINE THAT THE TITANS ARE TALKING THROUGH THEIR LOCATOR THINGIES
'We've been searching for hours now,' said the authorative voice of Robin. He gave a little sigh. 'Report back to the tower, Titans.'
'NO, are you crazy? Why are you guys giving up so easily! I'm not going back until I find her!'
'Beastboy's right, guys,' said Cyborg, 'I'm not giving up just yet either.'
'Alright. Go, Titans, go!'
BACK TO SLADE AND RAVEN
Finally they reached the door. But something was not quite right. Rather, what they saw was really, really disturbing.
Outside, the glory of the sun was shared with the lesser glory of a giant, distorted, oddly-shaped moon. The sky was painted with abnormal colors of red, blue, and green. There were no buildings in sight, only twisted orange mountains in the distance and a field that extended to the horizon. At least the field looks normal, thought Raven. In fact, it was almost beautiful, it was filled with lush green grass and dotted with butterflies flitting without a care. The field and everything in it seemed oblivious to the anomalous development of the things around it.
Wh-what is this! Wh-where ARE we!
'Slade,' she was almost afraid to ask, 'wh-what was that machine created to do?'
'I may well be honest with you, my dear. It is capable of sending a number of people into an alternate world.'
'What! What world! What twisted world did it send us to!'
'That's not really the problem, Raven. The problem is the energy, or rather, the lack of it. As you can see, the field in front of us, perfect isn't it? If only the energy was enough, it can transform this place into perfect bliss.'
'How do we get back?'
'I'm sure if we can find a power source, then that would not be a problem.'
'Where in this place can we find a power source!'
'Patience is a virtue, as you may have heard. We only have to wait until it has stored enough energy and we may well be on our way.'
'Oh great! And how long will that take? Months? Years?'
'A couple of days will suffice. Meanwhile, let's explore, why don't we?'
She was annoyed with his aloofness, but still, as much as she hated it, she was afraid of being alone in this shattered reality. She trudged behind him, thinking about why he sent them there in the first place.
