Entry #35
…I have something that I need to say… it is not going to be easy but I have to in…in case something happens to me and someone stumbles on to this.
A couple of nights ago, I had a dream….well more like a nightmare. It was about Trigon, he said that he wanted more...'amusement'
He…bounded me and with some kind of rope like substance. The next thing I know my right arm felt like it was being rip, burned, and stab. Over and over this happen I barely heard him say, "Enjoy my gift." I woke to my arm burning again this time more intense than before. I yelled into the night, I am sure I woke the whole tower if not the city too. Because within five minutes later my door was bombarded with knocks. After I told everyone that it was just a bad dream they left with worried looks on their faces I am pretty sure I didn't convince Raven, but she didn't push the matter. I sure she will later though. When everyone went back to bed stumbled towards my bathroom tore off my clothing, there on my right shoulder was the mark of Scath, running down the rest of the arm was strange markings.
After doing some research I found out that Trigon burned the Dragon's Curse on to me. The details on what the symptoms are somewhat blurred, but the end product is that I become a dragon shape demon, a willing servant of the caster…I….. I can't write any more on this right now. Luckily it is a slow process, so I have time to look for a way to reverse it.
At Titans Tower everything was calm. The Jump City's Heroes were kicking back enjoying the peace. Robin, the team's leader, was at the computer looking up information on Slade, the bubbly alien Starfire from Tamaran was watching Beast Boy the shape-shifter and Cyborg the….Cyborg playing video games. On the couch behind them Sean or, as Jump City knows him, Blitzkrieg our inter-dimensional hero was showing Raven of Azarath one of his drafts.
"So what do you think?" Blitz asked
"Hmm….well it not bad," Raven said flipping through the draft
"But…."
"Not really dark enough," Raven said handing back Blitz's draft.
"I see…well what do you suggest," Blitz said as he pulled out a pen to write down Raven's suggestion.
Before she could answer the alarms went, "Titans Trouble, somebody is attacking an armor truck full of gold on 1st, Titans go," the Boy Wonder ordered leading his team out the door.
[Insert Theme Song]
It was nighttime in Jump City, and standing atop a capsized armored truck spilling out a veritable billion of gold bars was the super-villain Dr. Light. The man was tall, thin, and had a beard, wearing a black skintight jumpsuit with silver accents and a light bulb on the front
"Your pathetic attacks can't outshine the brilliance of Dr. Light," the light-obsessed man cackled as he brought his hands together, firing a broad beam of yellow light at the Titans, who scattered to avoid the attack. Robin leapt high and threw a bird-a-rang at the light-themed villain, only for him to leap down to avoid it and the teen's lunge. "You're fast, but I doubt you'll enjoy moving at the speed of light!" the man said as he touched the light bulb on his chest, sending out a wide-angled Omni Blast-esque attack and sending Robin over the roof of a nearby building. Beast Boy came around the corner and charged him, turning into a wolf mid-spring and charged the man who ducked under the changeling's initial rush. "A wolf is no threat when it's blind as a bat!" he cackled as he threw several glowing orbs at the lupine, the balls exploding in a series of brilliant flashes and completely disorienting him and effectively taking him out of the fight. The next moment Star flew overhead and launched a barrage of starbolts, Dr. Light creating a golden shield around himself to block the projectiles, which dropped after she ceased firing. He then threw a landmine-like device onto the street, its top opening as walls of radiation rising up and trapping her within.
"Watch yourself, lightweight. Things are about to get heavy!" Cy said running at Dr. Light with half the car's front axle in hand, tire and all into a swing. The overhead attack missed, but the created tremor threw Dr. Light across the street. The villain then shot a concentrated beam from his hand and fired an intense beam that broke the makeshift club in half, then laughing as he launched a red beam at Cyborg. When the dust from the resulting explosion cleared, the Titan was now imbedded in the melted remains of the truck behind him.
"Uh! Hey! Let me go!" Cy cried as he tried to get out, the villain laughing a flying kick suddenly nailed him in the back of the head. Getting up and turning around to see the black clad teen flying at him, "I think about time somebody punch you lights out" Blitz said as he push towards Dr. Light. The doctor launched a beam from his chest at Blitz hitting him dead in the chest sending him down the street.
"Now if nobody minds, I'll be taking the gold," Dr. Light said walking towards the massive pile of gold to the side.
"I mind," Raven said floating a distance away. "Azarath Metrion Zin-" she chanted, only for a beam of light to hit her squarely on the chest and send her to the street. If you looked carefully enough, you could see the silhouette of a raven's head on the brooch holding her cloak together.
"Bit of advice. Find shorter magic words," Dr. Light said walking up to her as he charged a laser, a motorcycle on the curb sent flying towards him with a wave of the mage's hand, only for him to blow it apart. He then blasted her down the street, her back to him as he walked towards her.
"Don't come any closer..." she rasped out in a menacing tone.
"What's the matter? Afraid of the light?" he asked, the deeper meaning of the mage's words lost on him. This error would then cost him, the mage suddenly spinning around at him with a snarl and rage-filled eyes. A moment later she grew to an impossible height, almost three times taller than the lightweight as black tendrils shooting into the air from the darkness of her cloak. "No! No!" he cried as he backed up, the tendrils seizing his suit and causing sparks as he was pulled in. "My suit! What are you-no, stop, you win, I surrender!" he cried as he was dragged towards the shadows of the mage's billowing blue hem.
"What's the matter? Afraid of the dark?" Raven asked in a demonic tone, her eyes blood red from within her hood's cowl, the man crying out in absolute terror as he was dragged into the darkness.
'Mental note never piss off Raven,'
'Sean...' Light began bring Blitz mind back to the present.
'Right, time to stop Trigon's influence.' Blitz thought, having recovered from Dr. Light's attack. He began running towards Raven.
"RAVEN! STOP!" Robin cried as he ran towards her, the mage gasping sharply as she returned to her normal size. When her cloak receded, it revealed Dr. Light curled up in the fetal position on the pavement. "It's okay. You're going to be alright," Robin said trying to comfort the terrified man.
"It was... so... so dark... make it stop... make it stop... make it stop..." he shuddered, eyes widened in absolute fear as he shook, his body, armor, and possibly mind looking like they had aged a decade within the span of a single second.
"Dude! Raven, what did you do?" Beast Boy asked in shock after having helped free Cy from the slough of steel around him. Turning to face him, the mage's eyes were red like before, her snarl causing the changeling to back into Cyborg with a scream, the mage composing herself and stalked away into the shadows of the alleyway. "What's her deal?" the changeling asked as Blitz follows Raven down the alleyway.
"Raven. Raven is there something wrong? Come on talk to me." Blitz said placing his hand on the wall and looking for her, only to find she'd already vanished into the shadows. 'Oh Raven…..' Blitz clenching his fist punching the wall, 'I promise, even if it costs me my life, I will set you free from your father's influence.'
(The Next morning)
"Rise and shine, amigos," Beast Boy said the next morning as everyone except Raven entered the living room, taking a seat at the table past the open-air kitchen while the changeling cooked breakfast while donning a chef's hat. "Breakfast is served," he said as he brought the steaming pan over.
"Thanks, Beast Boy. Everything looks great," Robin said as he was served.
"On my planet, such a feast would mark the arrangement of a marriage," Star explained as the changeling served the others. "Tell me, Beast Boy, to whom are you engaged?" she asked throwing her "daily curveball", causing Beast Boy to shout in surprise and jump back, nearly losing his hat in the process. Cyborg on the other hand was wolfing down the food, which he promptly spit it out in disgust.
"That's not eggs! That's that tofu stuff!" the cyborg cried out, he then drained the nearby glass of its contents in an attempt to wash down what he ate, the liquid soon going the way of the food he'd just eaten. "That's not even real milk!" he cried, Raven entered the door to the kitchen, paying the room's occupants no mind as she made her way to the counter and Blitz pouring her a cup of tea handing it to her.
"Hey Raven. Want some breakfast?" the changeling offered. "It's good. Wakey-wakey, tofu eggs and bakey," he offered ignoring the silently warning that Blitz was giving him.
"Herbal tea," the girl returned.
"Come on, just one little taste. You could use a little food after the way you cooked Dr. Light," he pleaded, the girl whirling around to face him with eyes burning red.
"NO!" Raven cried angrily, her powers leaking onto the plate he held, causing the eggs to explode upwards like a volcano, leaving him covered in the tofu eggs he'd cooked. With a strangled little noise as he dropped the plate, the residential mage turning away and leaving via the sliding door, which closed behind him.
"Jeez…..Beast Boy," Blitz said shaking his head, pouring himself a cup of tea, the Boy Wonder strode over to Beast Boy. "Maybe you should go apologize."
"Me? I'm not the one who turned breakfast into a battlefield!" he cried irately as Cyborg walked over carrying the dishes.
"Yeah, but after the weirdness that went down last night, you should know better than to go messing with her," he said depositing the dishes in the sink.
"I was trying to be nice, but no matter how hard I try, she still treats me like tofu eggs!" he cried irately, the brunette huffing while Cyborg washed the dishes. "You know, she's never once laughed at any of my jokes."
"Least she listens. I just kinda tune you out," Cy said.
"Raven is complicated. There is much about her we are not meant to understand," Starfire stated.
"Then how are we supposed to deal with her? How can we trust her? I mean-"
"She's our friend. What more do we need to know?" Robin asked.
"I trust her with my life," Blitz said gaining everybody's attention, "I trust all of you, I don't need to know your life story to trust you, I know enough," after that he left the room.
A while later, Beast Boy was standing before Raven's door, whatever mental machinery lay between his ears working in overdrive as he attempted to figure out how to apologize for agitating Raven that morning. After scratching his head for a few seconds, he gingerly raised his fist, turning his head away as he would from an explosion and barely tapping the door.
"Oh well. Nobody's home," he said relieved as he turned around, only to bump into Cyborg's metal chassis, Blitz behind him with crossed arms.
"You might want to knock a little louder," Cy said turning the changeling around and knocking on the door loudly, the door falling off its hinges on the final knock.
"Great. Now we have to apologize," Beast Boy groaned.
"It's okay we'll fix that Raven," Blitz said moving in Raven's room looking around taking it in, "Interesting décor, medieval gothic with a touch of the arcane. Fits her perfectly," he noted as he look around from the door way. The shelves were filled with old books and grimoirs, four-eyed tragedy and comedy masks on a pedestal, a hexagonalally-shaped mirror mounted on the wall, chalices and braziers abound, a bed partly recessed into the far wall, and a large globe in the corner. The entire place was done in shades of gray and black, the brunette gaining a much clearer understanding of what had laid behind the girl's doors.
"Uh, Raven? Sorry about the door. Raven?" Cy asked looking around.
"Dude, she's not here. Come on," Beast Boy said leading the group into the room. "Heh. Looks like Halloween came early this year."
"We're in Raven's room. We should not be in Ravens' room. She doesn't let anyone into her room," Cyborg whispered.
"He's right let's fix the door and leave." Blitz inputted trying to grab Beast Boy and failing.
"So this is our big chance to find out about her," the Changeling noted.
"This is a bad idea," Blitz noted .
"For instance..." Beast Boy laughed picking up a hand mirror with a black frame adorned with black horns and red diamonds on it. "Check out this beauty mirror. Who woulda thought Raven spends time sprucing? Ah! Is that a zit!" he asked poking his cheek. The next moment two pairs of glowing red eyes superimposed themselves onto his image, clearing a moment later as he gasped and dropped the mirror to the floor with a cry of fear. The next moment a red-rimmed swath of black energy shot up from the mirror, shaping itself into an arm and grabbed the changeling. As the changeling was suddenly shaken back and forth, Cyborg paid him no mind while heading for the doorway, Blitz watching shaking his head as dark shadows were cast across his face.
"*Sigh* Come on Cy we have to save Beast Boy's sorry ass," Blitz said gaining the cyborg's attention.
"Yo!" Cy cried as BB was being dragged downwards, Blitz grabbed one ankle while Cyborg grabbed the other, all three being sucked in before the mirror gave off a small puff of smoke.
"Ahhhhhhhh" Blitz, Beast Boy, and Cyborg cried as they fell out of a red and black portal born of chaotic energy. They landed on each other, what they landed on was a floating stone platform in the middle of an outer space, filled with red stars and a few large asteroids.
"Uh... Where are we?" Beast Boy asked looking around.
"You're asking the wrong robot," Cy said tapping his forearm controls. "My sensors must be on the blink, 'cause they're saying we're in Titans Tower."
"Riiiight. So how do we get back?" the changeling asked.
"Simple. We start walking," Blitz said as he stepped over the edge of the platform. Cy and BB gasped when he dropped from view before a stone platform with him on it rose up, several rock fragments forming a winding path as well. He turned around, "Well you guys coming or what,"
"If sending us to Weirdsville's Raven's idea of a joke, I am so not laughing."
"Hey, she didn't send us here. You were the one snooping in her room and popping zits in her magic mirror," Blitz grumbled.
"Who booby-traps a mirror?"
"Maybe it wasn't a trap. Maybe it's Raven's way home," Cy said looking around. "Maybe this is where it's from."
"Definitely creepy enough," Beast Boy stated.
"Speak for yourself BB I like it," Blitz said spinning around taking in the scenery.
"Of course you like," Beast Boy grumbled.
Blitz spun to him his cloths turning red, with his eyes matching the same look Raven had last night "What the hell is that supposed to mean you little green shit," he growled, causing the changeling and cyborg to jump back.
"Turn back," a feminine child-like voice suddenly said, causing everyone to pivot and look behind them.
"Like I was saying..." Beast Boy said looking around, whereas Blitz followed the sound of the voice to a rocky arch over the path. Perched were three small black birds with large red eyes.
"Turn back," the black chick repeated.
"Sweet! Becha they can tell us how to get home," BB said happily.
"Um I don't think that is a good idea Beast Boy," Blitz said cautiously, "they might be dangerous."
"The name's Beast Boy, remember? If they were dangerous, I would know. See," he said as one of the crows landed on Blitz shoulder. Beast Boy turns to the arch and adopting a tone one would use with a small kitten. "Hey little guys. My buddies and I were wondering it-" he said before the birds disappeared. His eyes turning to the ground, the three chickies continued to repeat- "Turn back." –their beaks suddenly elongating and sprouting rows of sharp teeth, their eyes splitting into two smaller ones as they snarled, freaking out Best Boy who ran into Cyborg, whereas Blitz just started petting the raven on his shoulder, the raven cooed a little. The trio of birds then multiplied into a flock of dark ravens, which flocked past Cy and Blitz in favor of the fleeing shape-shifter, who opted to transform into a hippopotamus and opened its mouth wide, a trio of ravens perching on his tongue before he snapped his jaws shut. Squirming inside, the hippo then opened its mouth and shook them off after they had clamped their beaks onto his lingual muscle.
The unkindness of ravens then began attacking Cy, while Beast Boy was nursing his injured tongue.
"Get 'em off me! Get 'em off me!" Cy cried as he ran down the platform as the birds attacked him. Blitz chuckled while his clothing started turning into a slight shade of pink as the birds began chasing Beast Boy too, who took the form of an ostrich and began running across the stone platform back and forth. "Cut it out!" he cried now riding BB in llama form and firing away with his sonic cannon. Firing a few shots high, one flew low where Cy tried to blast it, the cyborg firing straight down. "Nice shooting Tex," Blitz said as the path beneath suddenly gave way, his hand dug into Beast Boy's pelt while holding on to Cy who was holding on the ledge.
"Hey guys," a familiar but cheerful voice suddenly spoke up, the guys looking up to see Raven standing upside down on the platform with no ill effects, her blue clothing now pink. "What's up?"
"I don't know anymore," Cy said in a small voice, Cyborg cried out and fell down –or up- onto the path. "Woah!" he cried as they slammed down, Raven giggling as Beast Boy got to his feet.
"Raven? How did-where are-what just- Why are you wearing pink?" the changeling suddenly asked.
"Cause it's my favorite color," she said giggling.
"It is?" BB asked in shock, Blitz cocked his head to the side.
"Look, I'd love to talk fashion, but I don't suppose you know how to get home," Cy stated.
"The Forbidden Door," Raven said motioning to an arch down the path on a distant asteroid. "It's the only way out, but you don't want to go there. Not now."
"Uh... Yeah, we do," Cy and BB stated.
"Kay, but don't say I didn't warn you," she said as she headed towards the arch, making airplane sounds and stretching her arms out like wings before she ran through the archway and disappeared.
"Have you ever seen her this happy?" Cy asked as they headed for the arch.
"Dude, I didn't even know Raven could do happy," he said as they headed through the arch, the dark and dreary landscape fading away in lieu of a peaceful-looking landscape under a bright yellow sky, the path threading through a huge meadow filled with pink grass and trees. "... I think this is where air fresheners come from," Beast Boy then stated as he watched a giant strawberry float by.
"Hahahaha! Good one!" Raven giggled.
"You're laughing?" Cy asked in shock.
"At one of my jokes?" Beast Boy asked.
"Sure. I've always thought you were funny BB. But hey, looks aren't everything," she returned.
"YYYEEEAA RAVEN," a pink Blitz cried to the pink-garbed Raven, "Come on, you gotta give me hug," he said running over to her his mask showing a wide grin on his face, the pink-clad mage running through the field of flowers towards him and practically leaping into his arms, the two of them spinning around as Raven wrapped her arms around his neck, flower petals rising up into the wind, "Come Raven lets go frolic," Blitz said pointing towards the fields, while BB and Cy's jaws just dropped, the sound of a screeching record going off in their heads at the sight.
"Uh, Cy, you seeing what I'm seeing?" Beast Boy asked.
"I dunno. She kinda lost me when she said you were funny," Cy stated, seeing the two laughing and giggling like a couple of looneys.
Meanwhile back at Titans Tower, a blue-garbed Raven sat on the roof and meditated cross-legged, Robin and Starfire walking up behind her.
"Raven... you okay? We stopped by your room and the door's been knocked down," he said with all the subtlety of a car crash.
"Haha HAHAHAHAHA!" Raven laughed before suddenly stopping. "Need to be alone," she then said demurely heading down the stairs and to her room, disappearing as though she had passed through a barrier.
"Many of your Earthly ways are still strange to me, but that was... just plain freaky. Correct?" Star asked.
"She ditched us! I can't believe Raven ditched us!" Beast Boy cried irately as they made their way down the path. She and the brunette had been bounding through the flower fields and giggling up a storm up until a second ago when the prior had disappeared, the latter returning to their sides with a plain expression on his face like nothing had happened. "Next time I see her, it's not gonna be pretty," the changeling grumbled right before the scenery dissolved into the outer-space region from before.
Meanwhile Blitz was having a conversation with Light, "Dafaq was that Light?"
"I don't know your barriers are weakened and I don't know why, me and Wisdom are trying to find out why and hold everyone back. Just remember you meditations with Raven until we have things under control."
"Okay but for the love of god KEEP PERVERT BACK."
"Hey, I know where we are! We're in that place where I didn't know where we were before," Cy groaned as he rubbed his head, a gray-clad Raven suddenly popping up and scaring the living daylights out of them, only now she had a very said and fearful facial expression.
"WHERE WERE YOU? SHOPPING FOR ROBES!" the changeling demanded angrily, the now gray-clad mage crying under the boy's piercing gaze and trying to make herself as small as possible.
"Beast Boy, shut up!" a now blue wearing Blitz said angrily as he bopped the green-teen over the head before turning to the gray-clad mage, said changeling nursing a bump over his head. "There there fair maiden, don't cry, it hides you beauty." he said pulling crying girl into a gentle hug. For a moment the girl stiffened at the contact, but she eventually returned it, resting her head on his chest and once again shocking BB and Cy. "It okay no one is mad. Feel better?" he asked quietly.
"Can... *sniff* Can we stay like this? Just for a little bit?" the gray-clad girl asked timidly as she fisted his shirt in her hand and hugged him to her tighter.
"Wish is my command," the electro-kinetic returned, stroking her back to make her feel better.
"Uh Cy, have you noticed that Blitz's been acting a little more...emotional?" Beast Boy asked worriedly.
"Yeah. His brainwaves have been on the high road since we entered here," the Cyborg returned using the brainwave monitor built into his arm.
"Rae?" Blitz asked her in a soothing voice slowly changing back to normal black clothing, but still maintaining a light shade of blue.
"Y-Yes?" Raven asked as she looked up at him.
"Tell me, is that the Forbidden Door over there?" he asked pointing to the ornate arch in the distance, the girl nodding to him worriedly, as though she had blown somebodies car up or kick them in the shin.
"Come on y'all! We're almost-" was as far as Cy got running forward before a stone surface rose up from the ground to block his path. "Woah!" he cried falling onto his ass, Blitz pulling Raven protectively into his chest and readying a hand full of shock cards as numerous walls rose up and boxed them in. A moment later BB transformed into a hawk and tried to fly out of the labyrinth, only for an invisible force field to electrocute him before sending him to the ground.
"Great," Cy grumbled as he brought out his cannon.
"Oh man, we gotta get out of here!" BB cried worriedly as he nursed his head, Cyborg blasting several walls but not even putting a scratch on them.
"It's a maze. You can't get out. You have to go through," Raven said timidly as Blitz deactivated his cards. "I can show you the way, but when we reach the end, you won't like me anymore. *sniff* He already doesn't like me," she sobbed as she motioned towards Beast Boy. A lite purple Blitz pulled up Raven's chin, "I could never hate you," he pulled the blushing grey mage into another hug.
"Come on. That's not..." Beast Boy said sadly as Raven walked off, leaving Blitz's embrace but holding onto his arm like a scared child as she led them down the corner. "Gee Raven, moody much?" he asked.
"First Blitz, and now Raven. It's like they're entirely different people," Cy noted as they were led through the maze. A minute in, Raven started apologizing to them for stuff she'd done and things she'd said to them before, the electro-kinetic's mask moved so it look like he was giving her a fond smile whenever she had to apologize to him, the gray-clad mage's robe flashing pink too fast for the others to notice as he smiled at her.
"And... remember the time I called you both immature pinheads? I'm sorry about that too. And also the-"
"For the hundredth, millionth time..." Beast Boy groaned. "We forgive you!" both he and Cy called out as they rounded the corner. At that moment they had stopped at a wall identical to the others, Raven releasing Blitz's arm and waves timidly towards it, the wall sliding open like an interlocking pair of doors to reveal a short path that led to the path out of the maze. Right at the edges of the exit was a pair of stone statues, both wearing long cloaks with faces to match the masks in Raven's room, each having only one arm on the side that was closest to the wall.
"That's the end!" Cy cried happily as Beast Boy whooped –"Sweet!"- "All right Raven!" he whooped as he and the others headed for the egress, though she did not join them. The smiling statue's eyes to glow red followed by the frowning one, the next moment they slammed back to back, and three quick half-turns later showing a smile, then a frown, and then another smile, a pair of long swords suddenly materialized in the statue's hands as the combined form grew a second set of arms.
"What?" Cy gaped.
"No way," Beast Boy groaned alongside Cy.
"Oh Hell yea!" a green Blitz yelled, "Bring it on motherfucker." Both of his hands making a come-hither motion.
"Told you you wouldn't like me when we got here," Raven said before dropping out of view.
"Stir continuously until thickened," a chef on the TV that Robin was watching spoke, the teen then flicking the channel and starting up a Monster movie.
"May we go see if she is feeling better?" Starfire asked, while also wondering where everybody went. "She said she wanted to be alone," Robin said flicking the channel.
"Let's dance, BE-YOTCH!" green Blitz whooped as he leaps into the air delivering a barrage of kicks at the two-faced statue, Beast Boy having taken to the air in the form of a hawk while Cy retreated and fired off his cannon only for it to have no effect. Flying into a scratching attack, one of the statue's free hands suddenly grabbed Beast Boy and squeezed cruelly.
"Yo! Eight-Eyes!" Raven's voice spoke, sounding radically different than before. "Hai-yah!" she yelled out as she kicked the statue across the face and sending it toppling to the ground. "Whoo-hoo! In your faces!" she whooped, the guys noticing she was now garbed in dark green, Blitz jump next to her smirking, "Lets kick its ass" he said.
As the thing got up, Raven and Blitz dodged one sword slash after another, the smirk on their faces remaining present as Blitz gave Raven a boost, she leapt into the air and extended her index and middle fingers, bringing them down straight down the length of the rock body, smoke billowing out to follow the trace before the statue broke apart among the new cleavage, Cy and BB staring in pure amazement. "Hoo-ah! High fives! Come on!" she called out holding up her hands.
"Ye-heah! You're not too bad mage girl!" the green electro-kinetic whooped giving the girl a high five.
"Hey, you're not so bad yourself!" the green-clad mage whooped as she slapped him across the butt.
That brought Blitz out of his current change. He promptly blushed and moved back towards Beast Boy and Cyborg.
"What is your deal?" Beast Boy suddenly cried out. "First you nuke breakfast, then you finally laugh at my jokes, then you're all weepy, and now you're a provocative Marine? Make up your mind. Who are you?" he asked earning a quizzical look from the green-clad mage before a matching pink-clad hopped in from the left and a glum gray-clad one slinked up from the right.
"I'm Raven," the three said simultaneously in their own tones, causing Beast Boy who was poleaxed by the sight to faint.
"Happy... timid... brave," Cy then counted off.
"You forgot dopey. Hehehe," Pink Raven giggled pointing to the shocked Beast Boy.
"Wait a minute," Blitz said scratching his chin. 'This is just like….'
"Different side of Raven's personality." Cyborg said, meanwhile Blitz's eyes widen his cloths turning grey. "Oh SHIT, Guys we got to get the fuck out now we're not in Raven's home, we're in her HEAD," he said grabbing BB and shaking him violently.
"And I want you out," the blue-clad Raven said floating down in front of the three Emoticlones, who faded away. "The mirror you found is for meditation. It's a portal into my MIND- NOT A TOY!" she growled through gritted teeth, big sweat drops rolling down BB's face.
"Heheh... My bad," he remarked weakly, the flock of ravens that had been roosting in the nearby tree for the past ten minutes suddenly taking off, squawking as they flapped their wings.
"You have to go. Now!" Raven then ordered.
"Raven, talk to me. What happen?" Blitz asked looking her right in the eyes, having regaining control of himself once again.
"Last night, something... got loose. Something bad," Raven answered. The next moment there was an unholy roar from the heavens, a gargantuan black vortex forming over the horizon as the ravens from before flew into it. Gradually they retreated from the top down to expose a super-king-sized humanoid male with red skin, flowing white hair, and four glowing yellow eyes. It was clad in a black and grey loincloth, steel wristbands, and a similar belt to the one Raven wore, as well as an Anja chakra on its forehead. Its belt was silver and set with black stones, and a matching piece set at the throat to match her brooch. There were short, curved black stripes on its arms and chest.
"Hatred shall rule," the giant being growled, its voice being the same one that Raven had used when snaring Dr. Light.
"Let's just say I have issues with my father," Raven stated evenly, the red giant moving steadily towards them and leaned down with a loud roar.
"TRIGON," Light roared inside Blitz head.
Cy, BB, ran off, while Blitz and Raven stood their ground against the monster as it unleashed a quadruple blast from its glowing eyes that hit the ground in front of them, forcing them to jump clear. The thing's giant feet began stomping towards the four of them, who at the moment were making a beeline towards the Forbidden Door. When a beam lanced the ground in front of them, Raven then dropped to the ground in front of them and faced her father. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" she called out as she created a shield around herself, the boys, and the door. The monster fired another blast cutting a furrow along the ground and throwing up a wall of dust around the barrier.
"May we go see if Raven is better?" Starfire asked.
"She wants to be alone," Robin stated plainly as he flipped another channel.
"Get out of my mind! Now!" Raven shouted as she strained to hold up the barrier.
"Sorry I don't make a habit of leaving my friends behind" Blitz said even as the Forbidden Door lit up with a whirlpool. He tightens his gloves "And there is no way in hell I am starting now!"
"It's my problem! I'll deal with it. If I lose, you'll be stuck in here forever!" Raven shouted.
"It's risk I willing to take," Blitz said, "Besides this maybe your fight but you don't have to fight it alone."
Outside the barrier, the monster pulled his hands back, producing a ball of energy between them, then swinging them forward and punching a hole through the mage's shield, bursting it with a second shot. "GO!" she shouted with no room for objection as she flung the three screaming towards the portal with a sudden lash of telekinesis. Flying up, she then fired a black salvo from her hand, only serving as an annoyance as he tried to swat her down, the mage flying around and avoiding another eye blast. Landing a blow on its chest, she flew around to his head in the briefest instant, only for him to whirl around and blast her point-blank in the chest and catching her in its broad palm.
"Rage shall consume you," the thing then stated.
"Yo!" Cyborg called out, catching the thing's attention. "Sounds like somebody needs a time-out!" he said firing a shot which was blocked by the thing's arm, which was blocked only for the second chest-shot to find its mark, causing it to stumble backward and let go of Raven. Toppling edge over edge, the blue-clad mage tumbled helplessly towards a thick granite slab, Beast Boy then dove down as a hawk and grabbed onto her shoulder, the mage starting to come to with a barely audible moan and leveling out as she fell to her knees.
"You stayed? I thought you didn't like me," Raven said rubbing her head.
"Thought you didn't like me," Beast Boy returned, his sentiment causing the mage to smile.
"Hate to ruin a warm fuzzy moment but," Blitz sighed as he came up next to them. "We still got to deal with tall and ugly," he said pointing to the red-skinned monster as it stomped towards them.
"Feel my fury!" he roared firing a four-pack of eye blasts, Cyborg dodging to the sides while Raven, Blitz, Beast Boy took to the skies. Grabbing his shoulders, Beast Boy lifted Cyborg aloft as Blitz and Raven fired off their own projectile weapons, the two of them weaving through the barren landscape and returning shots, their distractions proving enough for Cy to nail the monster in the face with a sonic blast. Enraged by the hit, he was about to deliver the finishing stroke, only to yell in surprise as his head was pulled backwards, Raven and Blitz pulling his hair back and causing him to lose balance, the red-skinned monster crashing among the rocky peaks. Blitz dropped from the skies his feet crackling with power as he drove them right into the Trigon look alike.
"May we now-"
"No!"
"He's too strong. Even with your help, I cannot beat him," Raven sighed as the four hid behind a small ridge.
"So call for backup! What about the other you's?" Cy asked.
"Yeah, the green one kinda kicked butt," BB added.
"It still won't be enough. None of my other sides have the kind of power we need," Raven stated.
"Maybe not alone, but what about together?" Blitz asked putting a hand on her shoulder. "All of them are parts of a greater whole. A part of you. Use them!" he said reassuring her his hand forming a fist, Cy ducking back after peeking around the edge to see if the demonic figure had found them yet.
"You two stay here!" Blitz ordered BB and Cy, "Protect Raven, so she can do what she has to do."
"What about you," Cyborg asked prepping his sonic cannon
"You're going to handle that thing alone," Raven said shocked.
"Yea don't worry" Blitz said tighten his gloves while standing up. A small smile grace his lips behind his mask, "I have and ace up my sleeve," he strolled past them and started heading towards the Trigon influence.
[Insert your own kick ass music]
"Light you are ready to use that?"
"Yea, you sure you want to do it though Sean?"
"Yes, I am going to send Trigon a message, to let him know that we will fight and we will win."
"Alright then remember you only have six minutes."
"I only need three."
Blitz slowly picks up his pace until he was in a full run. When he about half way to Trigon part of Raven, he jumps up and pulls himself into a ball and yelled along with Light,
BANKAI
KYOSHIN
…
"Sorry had to say it once." Sean said, "Alright now for real."
"KYOSHIN"
A flash of light covered Blitzkrieg. When the light vanished, in his place a ball of feathers floated. Raven, Beast Boy, and Cyborg started noticing feathers floating around them. The ball of feathers suddenly exploded spreading white feathers everywhere. There floated what they assumed was Blitz. Blitz had some changes appearance wise; his black shoulder length hair was now white and ran all the way down his back right between his angelic wings, on his head a pair of fox ears rested their color matches his current hair color except for the tips which were black, and the final physical change was the three black with white tip tails sticking out of his lower back right above his butt. Both of his eyes were crystal blue. Instead garbed in his usual uniform he was wearing a long sleeve changxiu duangua with a yin yang theme his face mask was white. (A/N think Kung Fu suit.)
Well this is interesting," Blitz said taking in his new appearance, his voice sounding like multiple people were talking at once, "now it is time. To show you my power," he gave Trigon a serious look as he disappeared only to show up in front of the red skin giant delivering a punch that sent Trigon falling onto the ground.
One of the feathers floated in front of Raven she cups her hands as it landed. She felt warmth but most of all she felt hope. She held it to close to her chest letting the warmth travel though her, "Um guys I know that this change is sudden and all, but can you hurry I can only hold this form for so long," Blitz cried out as the giant got back up shooting yellow eyebeams at Blitz.
With a smile, Raven closed her eyes in concentration before disappearing.
"Whoa when could he do that?" Cy asked in shock, Beast Boy gave a shrug as Blitz swirled around Trigon's head, punching each eye out only for them to re-open moments later. Blitz flew back gather some distance he held up his right hand, and his lighting powers started forming around his hand. The air was filled with the sound of a thousand birds, "RAIKIRI," Blitz yelled as he charged at Trigon hitting him with the Chidori in the face. Trigons fell back clutching were Blitz's attack hit him. Trigon roared as he got up.
"Well let's go help him," Cy groaned as he fired his sonic cannon at the thing. However, the beast didn't pay any credence to this, as it clasped its hands together before launching a swarm of bird-like apparitions, all of which converged upon Blitzkrieg and sent him tumbling to the ground, Cy catching him while BB scared off the birds with a lion's roar. Smirking at his victory, the demon had yet to notice Raven rising behind his back, her tightly wrapped cloak now pure white. As the thing swiveled around to face her, the mage opened her cloak and hurled a mass of dark energy at the demon, revealing that her leotard was white as well, her magic forming thick bands that encircled him from shoulders to waist.
"You are going back where you belong!" White Raven then said in a very deep and terrible tone.
"Never!" the demon growled as he broke the minding spell. Rising into the air with arms crossed in front, the white-garbed mage's eyes and mouth began to blaze with the same dark power from her hands before she launched a black white-trimmed beam at the demon, who launched an orange red-trimmed beam. With one final push, Raven's beam surged into the demon's face, an incredible flash of light nearly blinding everything before a red-garbed copy of her, four eyes glowing from within the cowl of the thing's hood, now only a foot tall compared to Raven's current form. Dropping to the ground and facing its giant white-colored counterpart, the red-garbed being suddenly disintegrated into a hail of red lightning bolts, striking the white-garbed mage and throwing her into an unbearable rictus. In a final flash and a blast of smoke, the blue-garbed Raven had now been reverted back to her original size, she began to fall Blitz flew up and caught her before she could hit the ground.
"You did a great job. Remember as long as there is hope anything is possible, and if you don't mind me saying you look good in white," Blitz said with a smile behind his white mask as he helped her to her feet, BB and Cy following her with thumbs up.
"Thank you... friends," Raven sighed as she rubbed her head her cheeks slowly heating up.
"So... We really are friends?" Beast Boy asked.
"Hmm-hmm," she said with a smile.
"And you really think I'm funny?" he asked wiggling his eyebrows.
"Don't push it," she said, Blitz chuckling a bit as the group headed towards the Forbidden Gate. In a flash of white Blitz reverted back to his original from and fell towards his knees, "Whoa, you okay there man," Cy asked worried, help Blitz back up.
"Yea, *gasp* it just *gasp* took a lot *gasp* out of me *gasp* that's all." Blitz said as they continue towards the Forbidden Gate.
Meanwhile outside Raven's room, Starfire was slightly straining to knock on Raven's door, Robin's fingers wrapped tightly around her arm and pulling her back with everything she had.
"Please! Let us simply-"
"Raven asked us not to disturb her!" Robin cried out even as he failed to move the Tamaranian girl.
"She could be weeping and-"
"I don't want to bother her!" he persisted.
"But if we merely-" she started, then suddenly gasped and smiled as the door open, her stance relaxing and sending Robin to the floor as Cyborg, Beast Boy, Blitzkrieg, and Raven stepped out.
"Where have you guys been all day?" Robin asked getting up from the floor.
"Just getting to know each other," Raven said with a blush, her Emoticlone's memories having come back to her after the fusion technique.
"Come, friends. We shall prepare a new breakfast feast," Starfire cheered.
"It's a little late for breakfast, Star. Maybe just some herbal tea," Beast Boy suggested.
"Actually, breakfast sounds-" was as far as Raven got before Blitz suddenly collapsed to the ground, groaning.
"Ooooooogh..." he groaned as his body shook.
"Brother Blitz, what is wrong?" Star asked.
"What's wrong with him?" Robin asked pointing to the teen on the floor.
"Don't know. He's been pulling 180s all day, it could have been that cool technique he used," Beast Boy noted excitedly, Robin raised an eyebrow.
"We'll one way to find out, to the infirmary," Cy said throwing the teen over his shoulder.
Ten minutes later after a few diagnostic tests, Raven giving Blitz a glass of tea with a crushed aspirin pill in it, Cyborg had finally gotten the results back from the tests.
"He just exhausted, mentally and physically," Cy noted from the medical report.
"About that move that you used," Robin asked the raven hair teen, Beast Boy told the rest of them about it while Cy ran his test.
"I can only use it for a certain amount of time. I don't know all the details on how it works, but the jest of it is that Light and I can combine our essence, temporally giving us an increase of power." Blitz said pulling his hood down while he drank the tea.
"Interesting, how long can you use it safely? That ability could come in handy on the battle field," The Boy Wonder asked.
"Six minutes," Blitz shrugged, "give or take. But let tell you this Robin," Blitz said seriously, "I will only use it when absolutely necessary, the less people who know about it the better." An eerie silence took hold of the room.
"Well, time to make some sausage 'n waffles! And we're having real eggs!" Cyborg said breaking the silence, before leaving the room.
"Dude! What wrong with tofu!" Beast Boy cried as he ran off after him, Robin and Starfire following while Raven stayed by Blitz's side, rubbing his back as he got up from his bed.
"You alright, Blitz?" Raven asked as he threw his legs over the side of the chair.
"Yeah. I'm fine," he groaned scratching his right hand, "We better hurry before Cy and BB destroy the kitchen over something trivial."
Raven giggled, her robe flashing pink for a second as she helped the teen out of the room and back to the kitchen for some real food.
"Um here" she said handing Blitz the feather she caught.
Blitz studied the feather for a while before saying, "Hmmm keep it."
"You sure?" Raven ask.
"Yea, let it help remind you to never lose hope." He said as they walk towards the kitchen Raven giving one of her rare smiles.
'Hope huh?'
So what you think, this chapter was my first attempt at fluff. So tell me too much, not enough, or just right. Also if anybody is good at drawing painting or whatever I wouldn't mind if somebody drew my OC with any character, romantic or otherwise NO SLASH THOUGH, I have nothing against Yaoi, Yuri, gay, or lesbians it just that my character is not.
Anyway see you guys later.
