Stone Prison
By: Demonabyss
Chapter 22: Titans
Power, overwhelming power. Raw energy like nothing I've ever felt, comparable very minutely only to the very first time I've ever used my geo-kinetic powers. Every nerve ending is on fire. The energy is seeping into my mind, my soul, and the very core of my being. My gold energy pouring from me like a waterfall and returning in a perpetual cycle, increasing and doubling itself as more energy builds. All the stone and rock in the area is swirling around me and collecting onto me. It isn't just covering me like armor, but fusing to my body, I can feel it.
Black and white pristine marble replaces my skin, just beneath that thin layer is solid granite and similar rock replacing my flesh, beneath that my bones are replaced by highly dense basalt mixed with other volcanic rock and within my whole form, my warm blood is replaced with scorching hot magma running through my veins. My hair lengthens and fuses into long crystalline dreadlocks that reach to my thighs. Metallic crystalline diamond becomes my new armor. Gauntlets equipped with razor sharp talons, thickly armored elegant boots, smooth flexible torso and chest armor, a helmet with a kaleidoscopic jewel in the forehead, and my stone emblem, emblazoned on my chest in gold and silver. My eyes glow with golden light as I step out of the vortex.
I look below to see the shocked faces of my … friends and … Slade. One is missing however, the closest one to me and one of them is … incomplete. I reach for the earth. It rumbles as two things come forth. The first is the comatose form of Raven, however she is … different from what I remember. Her body has reverted to a more innocent, child-like form with white clothes. This is what she would truly be without her demonic father's influence. The second is a bit of life force that Trigon had stored deep underground, easily accessible to me. The life force strikes Slade, restoring his flesh and blood as Trigon forbade him to have. I raise Raven's body up on a slate of rock to my hand. Carefully closing it around her, I encase her in a crystal cocoon to protect her body until she can return to it. I gently place the crystal case on the ground next to the Teen Titans as I turn towards my true objective and adversary, Trigon.
(Normal POV)
The teenaged heroes and the psychotic mercenary watched as the titan of earth turned towards the incarnation of evil. The four-eyed demon stood up and faced her, knowing that he would have no choice but to fight. "Is that Terra?" Beast Boy asked amazed.
"Man, she grew up fast," Cyborg commented as he watched the stone giantess matched towards the red skinned demon, stepping into the sea of molten rock as if it were nothing.
Slade chuckled slightly. Robin turned towards the one-eyed villain. "What's so funny?" he asked accusingly.
"Ironic isn't it? That the one who was willing to learn from me, my apprentice; would become more of a titan then any of you ever could. Isn't also ironic that the one everyone considered a traitor and threat would be the one chance we have at saving this dimension. Everyone underestimated her and look at her now, magnificent," the black and orange clad man said calmly with a slight note of awe.
Trigon stood before the avatar of earth. "So, a mere elemental has come to challenge me? I thought the ancients wiped your kind out ages ago. No matter, I will correct their mistake and my reign will go unopposed," he bellowed confidently.
Terra's gold glowing eyes narrowed at the arrogant creature in front of her. "You are no ruler, only a tyrant and a coward. You turn this world's people to stone instead of facing them, knowing you would be unable to defeat them. However, your cowardice will be your undoing, retched creature. By turning them to stone, you've given me direct access to their power. With their aid and the aid of your own daughter, I will destroy you," Terra declared in an older, regal voice, filled with power and authority. Both voices echoed across the barren landscape, causing anything close to them to rumble.
Trigon's eyes narrowed as he sneered at her. "So, it was because of you the portal was incomplete and I could not claim its soul. It is because of you my power is so drained from me. You hold its essence in your mind, clever elemental. It is no matter, even in my weakened state, I will still defeat you," he declared pompously.
Terra just smirked, reminding the five that hadn't been petrified that despite her new size, form, and power, she was still Terra at her core. Before Trigon could say anything else, she charged right at him. Reacting, he fired a beam of demon energy at her from his eyes. She ducked and avoided it, still coming at him fast; her footfalls like small claps of thunder in the magma ocean. Once she was in range, she brought her fist up and uppercutted him right in the jaw. She continued her assault, punching hard and fast as the demon kept retreating, blocking where he could against her attacks and growing angrier by the second. "ENOUGH!" he yelled and with a burst of demon energy he blew her away from him and sent her crashing into the city, or what was left of it anyways.
Slade and the remaining Titans all felt the aftershock of her crash. "I think it would be prudent if we were not in the middle of a fight between a titan and the incarnation of all evil," Slade said with calm, slightly sarcastic voice. Robin scowled at him but nodded as the five immediately cleared out of the area and headed to the cliff side nearby. Once they were far enough away they saw that Terra had gotten up and looked a little pissed.
The rock giantess raised her hands and every building around her flew up into the air. Thrusting her hands forward she sent them flying towards the demon. He blasted as many as he could with his demon power, but was still struck by a few of them. She raised her hands again, encased in glowing orbs of gold, and she brought up her hands in a motion similar to a dancer doing an intricate motion. As she did, the sea of magma rose up and flowed with movement of her hands. She then sent the magma right at Trigon like a cannon. It struck him hard, pushing him back. Terra repeated the process and struck him again. The third time however, he dodged it and came right at her.
He tried to punch and attack her but it was no use. Despite being the incarnation of evil, he relied on his pure demonic power to win fights, not fighting skill. Against someone as experienced as Terra, there was no way he could land a punch since he had rarely, if ever, fought someone hand to hand. The two exchanged blows until Terra brought her foot up and nailed him square in the jaw. She then brought that same foot around in a 360-degree spin and then hit him cleanly in the chest. The strike sent him flying back as she had before, right into Titan's tower, demolishing it completely. This not only hurt him, but also fueled to tick him off.
"ENOUGH! It is time I end this battle!" Trigon screamed as he let loose a massive blast of red demonic energy. Bringing up her own gold energy as a shield, Terra blocked the assault, barely. The red lethal energy flowed around her as her own gold power tried to shield her and was holding, barely. "Once you are eradicated, I will rule this world and this dimension!" he bellowed, increasing the power behind his blast.
Deep with Terra's mind in the realm of Quarry, Raven watched the battle turn in Trigon's favor. She stood in the very center of castle in Quarry, in the large temple like area. In the center was the crystal obelisk and all around her were the twenty different emotions of Terra that resided in Quarry plus one. The purple, ninja like Cunning, the light blue scientist Wisdom, the dark purple gangster clad Deception, the royal blue knight Honor, the pink cheerleader Happiness, the light orange pajama wearing Laziness, the yellow bandaged Fear, the dark blue Loneliness outfitted in Slade's control suit, the dark green colored nurse Kindness, the red princess like Love, the orange Arabian thief Lust, the gold biker punk Survival, the light green druid priestess Faith, the green Teen Titan Courage, the gray, homeless looking Despair, the light purple miko Pride, the dark red armored and armed Rage, the white colored Light who resembled Terra's current form, the black colored Darkness resembling a monster from her nightmares, the multicolored child like Hope, and finally Orbis Terrarum. All of them were acting as conductors for the massive power that come from all the spirits of the Earth's people. The spirits flowed through them and streams of gold energy came from each, converging at the obelisk into one massive gold beam shooting into the sky above. It was their power that caused her transformation into what she was now and what allowed her to take on Trigon one on one. However, it looked like Trigon was slowly overpowering Terra and would soon lose.
Raven looked at the obelisk as she watched Terra defend herself. Staring hard as she considered what she was about to do. She knew it was risky as hell, so did Terra, but at this point they didn't have much to lose. The half demon sighed as she raised her hands. "I'm sorry Terra, but we're out of options," she said quietly before pouring as much of her power as possible into the obelisk. All the emotions, Orbis Terrarum, and Raven herself screamed as the gold beam in the center gained a black spiral wrapping around it as it shot up.
In the battle against Trigon, Terra's eyes suddenly changed from gold, to black and gold. In a flash of black energy, she broke Trigon's assault. Both the demon lord and the five spectators were stunned and they all guessed what was happening. "Now you monster, we end this!" She held her hands and arms way out as she built up energy. "Azarath!" A sphere of gold earth energy formed in her left hand. "Metrion!" A sphere of black demonic energy formed in her right hand. "Zinthos!" She slammed both hands together, causing the spheres to mix and form. She brought her hands apart as the combined energy lengthened and formed. Once she let go with her left hand, the energy into a huge, magnificent sword. The hilt had four wings, two gold and two black. The blade itself had a core of gold energy while the edge was made of black demon fire.
Terra charged at Trigon, the Demon Gaia sword ready to finish this fight. The red skinned demon sent a blast of crimson energy at her once more. Bringing the sword to bare, she cut a path through it. Once she got to Trigon, cut through his energy creating a deep, black and gold glowing slash mark across his chest. She quickly struck again and again and again, making an eight-point star on his chest. The demon roared in pain as the wounds left by the blade burned him from the inside out. Terra quickly did a 360-degree turn and forced the point of the sword at the point where all the wound lines intersected, right where his heart was. The blade erupted out of his back as the earth titan forced the blade into him to the hilt.
Terra's now black and gold glowing eyes stared hard into Trigon's four red ones. In a dual voice of both an older Terra and Raven, the elemental spoke. "You are done and will never hurt anyone ever again! Now get the hell off of my planet!" she declared as the energy in the Demon Gaia sword flared up immensely, killing Trigon from the inside out. He roared as black, white, and gold energy erupted from him in a dome of power. Covering everything in existence. Then, there was silence.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
