Stone Prison

By: Demonabyss

Chapter 18: War

I have never been so pissed in my life. Slade was before me, the man who had been the cause for my imprisonment in that statue and subsequently my transformation from flesh and blood into living stone. He will pay for that! I know Orbis Terrarum is no longer whispering but yelling at me to calm down but I don't care. Ever since that first upheaval, months before, my love, my anger, and my despair had all been growing and turning inside me, pushing and pounding against the restraints I've constructed around them to keep them from get out. To survive, maintain some control on my powers, and keep my head I've had to restrict them in the past before I met Slade. After my resurrection, I continued to do so, mostly anyway. Now I was so close to letting them loose again, this time on a singular target instead of just a wild release. The target was Slade.

I knew my two Super Nova missiles didn't finish him. Oh no not Slade, especially an undead version which I guessed him to be. No human could survive a lava bath like that. I fired for two reasons, one I wanted to thin his army a bit and the second reason was I wanted to see that look of surprise in his eye. Even if we lose, seeing that look would provide some comfort. If he wants to get to Raven, he is going to have to go through me, in more ways then one if I know Raven like I think I do. Oh yes, I'm gonna make him work for his 'reward' from Trigon. Let's party Slade.

(Normal POV)

After the explosion from the twin Super Nova blasts cleared, a good portion of Slade's forces was blown away. Slade stood as the smoke cleared, his eye showing restrained rage as Terra switched both guns into Needle Laser mode. With her eyes glowing gold, she fired off both guns. Dozens of small heat seeking blue bolts of energy fired out of each gun, homing in on the fire-based demons around her, as they were the largest source of heat. Hundreds of rocks flew up from the ground and assisted the bolts, flying like crazed miniature missiles at the demons. In no time, at all she had drained both her guns' blue modes and immediately switched to red Plasmite RPG mode. As the pissed off blonde started launching grenades at the demons, she absently took notice of how the Titans were doing.

Starfire was unleashing waves of green energy upon the fiery army. The alien girl was holding nothing back. Beast Boy had become an unknown beast, muscular and fierce, tearing up the demons left and right. Cyborg was unleashing all of his strength and firepower, not giving in. Robin was going against Slade, hand to hand and was not letting up. All the Titans were giving it there all and they weren't giving in.

Terra unloaded grenade after grenade, taking out massive numbers of fire creatures. But for each one she blew away, another two or three took its place. Again, her ammo ran out in her guns' red modes. She switched both guns into yellow Beam Reflexor mode and started firing at anything that moved as she rose on a rock to get a better vantage point. The beams hit each time and then bounced off, striking down more fire demons. Gold colored ricochets were flying everywhere like it was the middle of World War III. Demons dropped like flies but more still remained. The Titans battled on, using attacks they had never used before on the fire creatures, attacks that would have been lethal against anyone else. However, despite their best efforts, they were slowly being overwhelmed. This did not go unnoticed by Raven or Trigon.

Inside the lockdown room, inside the girl's mind, another battle was taking place. Inside the girl's mind was a realm of fire and rock, not unlike what people would imagine hell to be. There stood two figures. One was the small blue-cloaked form of Raven and the other was a massive red-skinned four-eyed giant that was Trigon. "Look what you are doing daughter, your friends suffer because of you," he said in deep dark voice.

"Please father, don't hurt them anymore," Raven pleaded like a lost child. She didn't want this, she never did. She didn't want her friends to be hurt, she didn't want to be the cause for the end of the world, hell she didn't even want Terra to be hurt. Why was fate so cruel to her?

"I am not the one hurting them daughter, it is you who hurts them by your refusal of your destiny," he responded in a rumbling tone.

Raven's two amethyst eyes changed into four blood red ones, all showing regret and pain in them. "But father, I don't want this," she pleaded hopelessly to him.

"It is not your choice child. It is your fate. You may spare your friends if you just give in," he said in a convincing voice similar to Satan's.

Raven looked down at the ground in despair, what was she to do? The purple haired girl then remembered the mirror Terra gave her and decided to try it. In both the real world and in her mind, she held up and faced the mirror, taking a good long look at herself. However, the moment she did, hidden runes on the sides of the mirror started to glow gold and immediately Raven knew that Terra had booby-trapped the mirror somehow. In an instant, a gold beam shot out and hit Raven right in the face. She could feel her mind and soul being drawn into the portal the mirror provided while her body remained behind. Her soul self disappeared from in front of Trigon as her real body slumped into a coma like state. Raven's last conscious thought before being drawn in was, 'Clever move Terra.'

The Titans had all fallen, worn out from the constant fighting. As trained and powerful as they were, they still had limits. Robin and Beast Boy were simply over powered and worn down while Cyborg and Starfire had simply run out of power. The only one left standing was Terra her self. Her guns had completely run out of ammo and she was now relying completely on her powers and fighting abilities. The elemental was no longer bothering with the small time threats and was now facing off against their general, Slade.

Terra stood facing Slade. Her armor was cracked and torn all over. The visor on her helmet was cracked with a massive hole on the left side, showing her eye and the hatred she held. She didn't even bother to maintain her human form any more, her rage and desire to stop Slade from getting to Raven. In the far back of her mind, she felt two minor forces. One was Orbis Terrarum, still screaming for her to get control but having no effect because as far as Terra was concerned her voice might as well as be a hundred miles away. The second was much more subtle and it was fairly recognizable to Terra even though she ignored it. She had bigger fish to deep fry.

The two stared at each other, eye to eye. The now crystal haired elemental launched herself at the pyro-kinetic criminal. As she sped through the air, her gauntlets exploded as the rock from the area quickly flew and merged with her forearms. They instantly reshaped themselves into long, curved, jagged blades. Slade's eye widened in shock as a large razor sharp blade of dense rock came down on him. He jumped away as the blade came down, creating a small shock wave from the force she applied. Slade quickly formed a Bo staff made of flame. The second blade came right at him. This time he blocked it, but the criminal felt the force behind it. "Well now, it seems I'm not the only one to experience a few changes," he commented dryly.

"You have no idea," she said just as casually as she brought the other blade around. Slade barely jumped back and avoided being decapitated. Terra pointed both arms at Slade. Like before with the storm whip, a cyclone of rock formed around her arms, using material from the area around them. A massive blast of rock spinning at hurricane levels came right at Slade. The one eyed criminal retaliated with a massive blast of demon fire. Elemental earth, the immovable object, met demon fire, the irresistible force. The combination of swirling rock and scorching demon fire caused the creation of lava being spattered in every direction. The ground shook violently and cracked from the sheer force of duel of elements. It could be felt throughout the city, causing people to watch from a distance and attracting the local news media. This fight was live and being shown around the world.

Up in the Watchtower, the entire Justice League was stunned at what they were seeing. They hadn't believed the Titans when they said Slade had been resurrected or that Terra was there to help. Now the geo-kinetic they had been hunting down was the last thing standing between Slade and his goal of releasing the demon Trigon. They had seen "energy duels" before, but this was just unreal. So far, Slade and Terra seemed to be in a dead lock, but this soon changed. The fire demons that remained from Slade's army, who had just been watching until now, gathered behind Slade and added their fire to his, engulfing Terra's storm blast and in turn her as well. A massive wall of demon fire pushed forward like a wave of water, however at the point where Terra had been standing it looked like the fire was being blocked or deflected. The point where the fire was being blocked stood firmly for a moment before the fire erupted.

Terra came flying out of the blaze and punched Slade right in the face with no small amount of personal pleasure. Her armor had been completely burned off, revealing to the world her true rock form. Needless to say, everyone watching, from the Justice League in the Watchtower to the criminals in Arkam Asylum, all of who had encountered her, was stunned. Terra's eyes and body, particularly her hands, were glowing bright gold as she grabbed Slade by the throat and flew/dragged him through the water at an incredible speed and slammed him into a building, trying to keep him as far away from Titans tower and Raven as possible. This fight was far from over.

To say Slade was surprised by Terra's new power and form would be an understatement. He hadn't even expected her to be there, let alone be the greatest obstacle in his quest to capture Raven. He knew the girl was powerful and skilled thanks to his training. Was it irony or poetic justice that the one apprentice he had that had been WILLING to learn what he taught was now the greatest opponent he'd ever face? The criminal didn't know nor did he care right now as this stone girl was now attempting to kill him … again.

Terra was still pissed off. Her rage was going into overdrive as she started to beat Slade down into the side of the building. She had never fought in her true form before and was now doing everything purely on instinct, rage, and the desire to keep Slade away from Raven at all costs. She didn't care at this point, whether the whole world saw what she truly was, which it did incidentally. All she cared about was stopping Trigon and preventing Armageddon. As the crystal haired elemental continued to grapple with the one eyed zombie, she failed to notice the fire demons from Slade's army entering Titans tower and carrying the limp form of Raven away.

The Titans awoke slowly to a strange sight. They saw flame like creatures carrying the familiar form of their friend. In the distance, they saw smoke and heard crashes as two powerful forces collided. "Titans, go after Raven!" Robin ordered.

"What about Terra?" Beast Boy asked concerned. At that moment, they all heard a crash as a building came down near the harbor. In the distance, they could make out two fighters in the air. One was Slade and the other looked similar to Terra.

"Terra can handle Slade. She'll buy us some time to rescue Raven, now get moving!" he ordered as he quickly went and got into the T-Ship for them to pursue the demons holding their friends hostage.

The demons quickly ferried Raven into the underground temple where she would become the portal. The Titans followed, racing through the catacombs to stop them before they got to the altar with their unconscious friend. Robin ran as fast as possible to stop them, but he arrived too late. The demons had already placed Raven's prone body. "NO RAVEN!" Robin screamed as beams of black and red erupted from her body.

Her form faded as they grew into a dark pillar of energy. From that pillar emerged a giant. The giant had blood red skin with black stripes and long white hair. He had four dark glowing red eyes and a crown of made of black wood on his head that resembled two horns. "THE END HAS COME!" The giant roared as a wave of dark energy hit the Titans before they could do anything. They had failed both the world and their friend Raven.

Slade and Terra grappled in mid air hand to hand. Slade's hands and eye were burning bright red while Terra's were glowing bright gold. The runoff power from both of them was ripping the city apart. Slade's demon fire was causing a firestorm to develop inside the city as people evacuated. Terra's gold energy was causing roads, buildings, and anything connected to them to fall apart and shake violently. It seemed they were evenly matched, until Slade's eye started to flare up. Before Terra could react, his body exploded like a supernova, throwing the elemental from him. The girl crashed through building after building before hitting the ground hard, creating a trench with her own body until he hit a building, hard. Her crash caused the whole structure to collapse on the stone girl. The prolonged fighting, use of her powers, all the damaged she had taken, and this last strike finally took their toll on her as she started to black out. As the earth elemental lost consciousness, her mind finally remembered something that had been bothering her in the back of her mind the whole day. She finally remembered where she heard "Orbis Terrarum" before. Orbis Terrarum was Latin and when translated it meant "the Earth".

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

The entire world knows of Terra's true form and Trigon has emerged, what will happen now?

What happened to Raven? Is she still alive?

Who or WHAT is Orbis Terrarum and how will Terra react?

What will the Titans do?

What will Terra do?
