Ch. 17 Movie Night
Blitzkrieg Journal Entry #150
Sorry I have not kept up a lot has happen. First off we got a new team member, a geo-kinetic named Terra, she an interesting character and Beast Boy is absolutely smitten with her. I am just glad that we finally have somebody to laugh at his jokes. In other news I have come across a major revelation, the seal that Trigon place on my memories is cracked. Right now I have Light trying to break it to see if we can get any useful information that we can use.
I'm glad that I pretty much threw a wench in Slade's plan by trying to make Terra his apprentice. Is it wrong that I feel so good for pissing someone off? Especially a genetically enhanced ex-super-soldier/Merc who is bent on world domination.
Well that's all I got to say for now, it is time for me to go and begin my part of Terra's training. (Me and Raven take turns training her since her power are similar to ours. To a degree.)
It was a Friday night and the Teen Titans were on route to the Video Dome, the same rental store where Starfire and Blitzkrieg were pigging out on candy bars, after receiving a call saying that somebody was attacking and endangering the civilians. Blitz and Robin where parkouring on the roof tops, while Cy and BB where riding in the T-car, and the girls were using their own methods of traveling. Blitz and Robin drop down from the roof tops, Blitz swinging on a lamppost before landing and Robin jump from building to building to slow down his decent.
"Okay Titans," Robin said as the team gathered, "We have a criminal causing chaos inside, we need to in and stop him," he pointed to the store behind him, "Terra since you are still new and the fact that there is no earth for you to use I need you to help the civilians get to safety and keep them back."
"Got it," Terra said dejectedly she was wearing her new uniform complements of Cyborg and Blitz (A/N: The one she wearing in Titan Rising).
"Don't worry about it you'll have your time," Blitz said.
"Yeah Terra," Beast Boy said placing a hand on her shoulder.
"It might not look like it but this is pretty important job if things get out of control in there," Blitz said pointing at the video store, "We'll need you to put up a wall to protect the innocent."
"Right, you can count on me," Terra said punching her hands together.
"Okay then," Robin said getting the team attention, "Titans GO!" Robin cried out leading the charge into the store.
What they found was a heavy-set orange-haired guy; he was dressed like a bounty hunter or something from Star Wars. He was going on about Warp Trek or something like that.
At the moment he was controlling a TV monster, threatening the girl at the candy counter after she said she didn't even know what Warp Trek was. It was at that moment that Cy blasted the TV monster with his sonic cannon, sending it to the side before getting the villain's attention.
"Well, well, well. If it isn't my old arch-nemesis…ses…" he said trying to find the plural of nemesis. "The Teen Titans!"
"Uh, yeah. Who is this guy?" Beast Boy asked.
"I am the master of monsters! I am your darkest nightmares come to life! I am… Control Freak," copies of him on all the screens behind him said in unison, the villain now known as Control Freak pressing a button on his demonic remote and causing the copies of him to clap.
"So… He's a couch potato with a souped-up remote," Raven sighed resting her elbow on a shelf. "I'm petrified," she droned sarcastically, Blitz next to her pinching his nose.
"Oh, you will be. You will be," he said pressing a button on the remote, a video drop box suddenly increasing in size, and its deposit slot turning into a toothy mouth. Gasping as she stepped back, the thing growled in a very rusty manner. Before it could attack the blue-clad mage however, Cy suddenly hit it broadside with a flying tackle to knock it away.
"Don't' worry Raven!" Cy said picking the thing up. "I can drop this drop box!" he said throwing the thing across the store, crashing into several shelves before the cyborg dropped down on it from above and started clobbering it.
"Get his remote!" Robin shouted, dashing across the room followed by Starfire, and Beast Boy. Blitz just hung back, "You know I am really starting to worry about the quality of villains, first it was Dr. Heart and now this guy."
"Yea no kidding this guy is pathetic," Light said.
"Show's not over, Titans. And if you thought Part One was scary, just wait for the sequels," he said aiming his demonic remote at the two cash registers. As the cowering clerk cried out in fear, evil faces suddenly appeared on the price displays and the handheld scanners floated up on their own accord. Control Freak then brought a set of shelves to life from his position on the floor, the videos falling away to resemble a set of eyes and a snarling mouth, the thing moving in. Control Freak then aimed his remote under his upraised leg, making a cardboard cutout of a red-zombie samurai come to life.
As all of this was going on, Blitz was nonchalantly walking through the battle field as Robin and the cardboard warrior faced off, Star flying away from a pair of flying cash registers that were shooting coins at her, Cyborg was in the process of eating evil candy, and BB in his T-Rex form was driving a monster shelf into the wall.
"Okay this is getting ridicules," Blitz said without even looking he blasting a giant TV monster that was coming from behind him with a light-bolt, while Raven decided to confront Control Freak more directly.
"Wait... I have an idea," Light said discussing the plan to Blitz nodded before he walk off to the side.
At the same time elsewhere...
"Dude! Wicked Scary is out on DVD?" Beast Boy asked with stars in his eyes as he looked up at the very-tall cardboard cutout of a green-robed figure, light green tentacles and a glowing red pinpoint eye being its only features.
"I know! Director's cut, digitally re-mastered, alternate ending. *Sigh* It's great," Control Freak said coming up next to him with a whimsical sigh.
"Cool!" he said before realizing the guy next to him was a bad guy. "Not cool," BB said as Control Freak made the cutout come to life.
"You don't scare me," Raven said and with a burst of power broke free of the cassette tape that was binding her.
"Look out, he'll eat your brains!" Beast Boy cried as he ran past, the Wicket Scary cutout chasing after him.
"Hahahahaha! I'm winning! I'm winning!" Control Freak cackled as the Titans were now on the ropes. "Wait a minute…were did that ninja-looking guy go?" he asked noticing one was missing.
"Right here," Blitz said before decking Control Freak, his punch sent him flying back into some TVs, his remote flipping through the air before Blitz caught it.
"Hey give that back to me," CF demanded
"Okay," Blitz said tossing the remote into Control Freak's outstretch hand, "Are you out of your mind," Robin yelled voicing what the other Titans were thinking, Blitz just shrugged his shoulders.
"Hahaha fool," Control Freak said, "Prepare to be destroyed." He spun around pointing his remote at another TV.
-Click Click ClickClickClickClick – "Hey was wrong with this thing?" Control Freak said pressing the button trying to bring the TV to life.
"You know for someone who is supposed to be our arch-nemesis," Blitz smirked from behind his mask, lightening playing around his hands, "You really don't know that much about us. Besides do you really think that I would be stupid enough to give you back your remote?"
"What did you do to my remote?" Control Freak asked getting hand cuffed by Robin.
"I fried it." Blitz answered.
"Nice," Raven said pulling down hood she was smirking as well.
"Thanks," Blitz said removing his own hood letting his midnight color hair flow down his back.
"Hey guys! Movie night!" BB said holding up the Wicked Scary DVD, Cyborg returning to the outside hurl some more. "Um, I-I know I've got my rental card somewhere," Beast Boy said packing all his pockets, belt, and even his shoes for his rental card.
"Just take it!" the store clerk said pushing it towards him, causing him to blink bemusedly down at the offering.
Later that evening, Robin made a trip to the Evidence Room to deposit Control Freak's demonic remote. Right around the time he finished locking it down that a burst of feedback was heard over the intercom speaker.
"Robin! Emergency! Get up here, now!" Beast Boy shouted, Robin rushing into the room a minute later.
"Report! What's the problem?" he asked, Beast Boy standing on the far side of the coffee table while the others were on the couch.
"The problem is, it's showtime, and you're not in your seat," BB stated, Robing steaming at being called up via intercom for something so trivial, a vein throbbing in his forehead.
On the couch, Terra was sitting down with a bowl of popcorn, Raven was reading a book, Blitz was standing off to the side. At the same time, Starfire had gotten a large bowl of candy for the "night of movies".
"Cyborg? You are certain you do not desire the unhealthy sugar candies?" she asked offering some to Cy, who recoiled and moaned weakly.
"Oooooogh… Make it go away…" he moaned while Robin vaulted onto the couch.
"Ladies and gentleman, get ready for the scariest night of your lives. Maybe Control Freak's monsters didn't scare you, but this movie is going to freak, you, out," BB said confidently.
"Well you guys have fun I'm going to bed," Blitz said with a yawn as he turned around and began walking out the room.
"Dude come on its movie night," Beast Boy whined.
"BB I'm tired okay, I don't feel like staying up late tonight," Blitz said waving his hand around.
"I get it you just chicken," Beast boy said before changing into a chicken.
"It has nothing to do with-" Blitz began but was cut off by Beast Boy.
-Cluck cluck cluck-
"Beast Boy," Blitz said releasing an animalistic growl that catches him off guard. Before he could question what happen Cyborg cut in.
"Now, Now BB if Blitz doesn't want to stay up and watch the movie he doesn't have to," Cyborg said, who seemed to recovered from the evil candy, before he began mimicking a chicken.
"*Sigh* Light take over I'm too tired to deal with this crap," Blitz asked his other half.
"You sure it's not because you don't like horror films," Light taunted.
"…."
Light smirked before taking over Blitz's body. Blitz clothes and hair turning snow white showing that Light was taking over, "Well you guys since the Alpha decided to chicken out I'll be joining you guys." Light said before vaulting over the couch sitting next to Raven who just rolled her eyes.
Terra just froze caught off-guard at the sudden change, Light turns to her, "Oh that right we haven't been properly introduced." Light said grabbing Terra's hand giving it a quick peck, "The name's Light. I'm Blitz alter ego, his…cooler side if you think about it."
"N-N-Nice to meet you," Terra stuttered out a small red tint on her face.
Raven began grinding her teeth together before taking a deep breath to calm down telling herself, 'Remember that not Blitz.' She still couldn't help letting out a small growl.
"Anyways," Light said going back to her original spot, "So whats so bad that Blitz had to let me take over. It can't be as…fascinating as the documentary Star made us watch about how hotdogs are made," Light said catching herself mid-sentence.
"Oh yes, it was most fascinating!" Star said. "I had no idea Earth people ate so many pigs. And insects," she added, Cy groaning and holding his gut as his face went green. A moment later he leaned over the couch to hurl.
"Yeah, yeah, bugs, hotdogs, whatever," Beast Boy said waving his hand around. "Big deal. This movie is supposed to be cursed," he said letting go of the DVD, which spun in midair. "When people watch it, strange things begin to happen. Evil things," he said leaning forwards like he would at a camera, Light flicked him back Tsunade style.
"Just start the movie," Raven said looking up from her book, smirking at Light's action against BB. Face falling and a vein throbbing, Beast Boy pulled out the TV remote before starting the movie, grumbling and heading out to his seat next to Terra.
One and a half hour later, ominous thunderstorm still raging in the heavens, and the others were in various states of fear. Robin's mouth was agape as he stared wide-eyed, Starfire was huddled behind the spiky-haired teen's cape, Cyborg was peeking from between his eyes, Terra was hiding behind the couch, and Beast Boy was hiding in a turtle's shell. Raven was the most neutral about it, Blitz having taken over half-way through the movie, was asleep. He really must have been tired, because he had not woken up even during everybody's screaming. And thanks to Beast Boy, who pushed him over, Blitz was nuzzling his head into Raven's neck which oddly she did not seem to mind. It felt…..nice, that word, that feeling, was still foreign to her.
"Is it over?" Robin asked once the word END written in blood faded to black.
"I dare not open my eyes to find out," Star said still hiding behind his cape.
"Now I'm really sick to my stomach," Cy groaned.
"I've fought psychotic villains, robot commandos, and oozing monsters, but that is the scariest thing I have ever seen," he said before breaking out into exuberant laughter.
"Did I tell you or did I tell you?" Beast Boy asked.
"Thrilling, Beast Boy! It was wonderfully horrible!"
"Nice picken's BB," Terra said throwing a arm over the changeling's shoulders causing him to blush.
"Yeah, when she was in the basement-"
"And it was right behind her and she turned and-"
"I was freaking out!" Cy said finishing his own statement after Robin. "I wanted to turn it off."
"So…" Beast Boy said turning to Raven, "Come on, Raven, admit it. You were totally scared."
Raven put the sleeping elector-kinetic into a more comfortable position on the couch before answering, "I don't do fear."
"Man I can't believe that he was asleep for the entire movie," BB said with ears drooping as everybody made their way out of the room.
The mage watch as the team left the room. When the coast was clear her cloak turned a deep purple as she reach down and lightly peck Blitz's forehead, "Night Blitzkrieg," Raven said blushing before headed for her own room a smile on her face.
Later that night, Raven was sleeping soundly in her bed the next moment, a flash of lightning caused her to jolt up. Seeing the morbid decor of her room, all she was able to say after a few moments was-
"Maybe I should consider redecorating," she said lying down again. A moment later however, a piercing scream ripped through the air, causing her to bolt up, said scream sounding like the one from the final scene of Wicked Scary.
She grabbed her cloak giving a last glace to at hers and Blitz's marionettes before leaving. She had kept the marionettes after their run in the puppet king, the memories of Blitz being stuck in Starfire's body still brings howling laughter from Happy and chuckles for some of her other emotions. Next to the two marionettes was the feather from Blitz's Kyoshin ability. Even after all of this time it still kept it's warmth.
"Who screamed?" Raven asked a minute later running into the Ops Center, the other four in attendance. Blitz was still on the couch, sleeping.
"Sounded like something from the movie. Did Blitzkrieg turned it on?" Robin asked.
"No he is still asleep," Star said picking up the DVD. "And the movie is right here," she said before the lights suddenly went out.
"Okay. That was creepy," Cy said as the flashlight on his shoulder raised.
"Oh man this so freaky," Terra said.
"The storm. Probably just tripped a circuit breaker," Robin noted. -plat- The next moment a tentacle draped itself over his shoulder, the boy raising an eyebrow while the others besides Blitz screamed, the boy then smiling at the apparent joke. "Okay Beast Boy, you got us. Good one," he said brushing the offending limb off like one would a sock or something.
"Uh… Dude?" BB said from the other side of the room, Robin turning around as Cy cast his light on the tentacle's source. A moment later, the one-eyed terror came into view, tearing his garment away a moment later. The thing had greenish skin, fanged mouths all over its body, long tangled hair, two somewhat normal clawed arms in the addition to the tentacles that made up the lower part of its body, and a large red eye. –KREEEEEEEEEEEEE!- The next moment the thing let off a primal roar, the Titans' feet glued to the floor in fear with faces full of terror.
"You guys still up? Man it like 4 in the morning," Blitz said getting up, he completely bypassed Wicked Scary making his way to the kitchen and fetch some water. After taking a few sips Blitz eyes scanned the Wicked Scary, "Nice one BB, that will defiantly scare the shit out of some villains."
"Dude," Beast Boy yelled out waving his hands around.
Blitz look over to BB, then to the monster, than back to BB, he did this twice more, "Ah, I see," Blitz said calmly setting the water down. His calm demeanor was broken when he yelled out, "WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT THING?"
"Oh, NOW you notice it?" Beast Boy growled.
A moment later, the thing grabbed the couch and tossed it aside with ease, the others scattering when a plethora of tentacles lashed out at them. Robin tried delivering a flying kick, but was knocked back before he could drive it home. Beast Boy turned into a T-Rex and tried to scare it away with a sonic roar, only for the thing to screech back at him, the changeling screaming before turning into a cat, running off with a startle little yowl. The thing smiled broadly from all its mouths, but its mood was dampened when Star hit it in the back with a starbolt, several more following before it deflected one with its arm, a tentacle seizing her. Blitz jump from the counter bring out his staff and using the lightsaber mode and began beating the thing's face with multiple hits. As Star screamed and Cy wrestled with the monster, Raven began chanting her chant before lightning flashed, her powers failing to manifest.
"My powers!" she gaped as Robin rushed in to give Cy and Star a hand. Hawk-BB swooped down and dodged a swipe of the thing's claws, turning into an octopus before reaching the three-eyed face and wrapping its eight tentacles around it. Blitz fired a few shock cards and a couple of lightbolts at it. Raven tried to charge in, but a tentacle slammed into her and drove her back next to the stairs that led up to the side door, the monster disappearing without any warning a moment later causing the other four to tumble down in a heap.
"Somebody's claws are on my grebnaks!" Starfire screeched.
"Heh… My bad," Beast Boy said, Blitz blushed having a good guess at what Star's grebnaks were.
"Where did it go?" Blitz asked looking around still holding out his staff.
"And from where did it come?" Star asked.
"Hel-lo? Isn't it obvious?" Beast Boy asked holding up the video. "The movie's curse! Watching it opened a portal to another dimension. The monster came through the portal, now it's going to hunt us down and eat us! And I'm probably delicious!" Blitz lightly smack BB's head with his staff.
"Or…" Cy trailed off.
"Control Freak must have escaped and come to the Tower to get his remote- And take his revenge," Robin stated.
"But that doesn't explain why my powers aren't working," Raven said as Blitz helped her up.
"If that remote can turn candy evil, who knows what else it can do?" Cy asked.
"It wouldn't be possible for him to do this unless he brought a new remote with him," Blitz said adding his piece, "The only thing that remote is good for is a paperweight."
"Whatever's going on, we need to get to the bottom of it. Split up and search the Tower!" Robin said causing everyone to scatter, besides Blitz who interlocking his hand with Raven's stopping her, while the changeling grabbing the others. The mage blush at the contact thinking, 'I guess losing my powers isn't all that bad.'
"Split up? Split up? Did you not see the movie?" BB asked leaning in everyone's faces. "When you split up, the monster hunts you down one at a time, starting with the good-looking comic-relief guy. ME!" he said gripping Robin's tunic.
"Get a grip, Beast Boy! The monster's not going to eat anybody," Robin said reassuring him.
"He's right. There's nothing to be afraid of," Raven stated, as everybody made their way through the Tower searching for the cause of the night terror. Making a quick stop at Blitzkrieg's room, said electro-kinetic disappeared in his room and came out a moment later, "Alright I'm set."
"What did you get?" Robin asked as he lead the group down the hall way.
"More equipment," Blitz said tightening his belt, "I want to be prepared for whatever is going on."
[Later]
"Look out, y'all, big scary monkey!" Cy crackled five minutes later as the group came across a counting monkey in BB's closet that said "help me" repetitively. The changeling said he'd get rid of that.
"Yeah, Raven. You shoulda seen the look on your face," BB chuckled.
"You mean this look?" she demanded, face bright red and her eye burned with rage, or maybe embarrassment, as she leaned over him.
"No, that's more angry than scared," the changeling said nervously.
"I already told you, I don't get scared," Raven said calming down.
[Blitz P.O.V]
I sighed, 'Raven I can tell that you are clearly scared,' I thought to myself. The next thing I know something slimy wraps around my throat, and I am hosted up. Before I could scream out, a loud chomp followed by incredible pain in my left shoulder. The Titans turned around to see Blitz bound by the neck by Wicked Scary's tentacles its mouth dug into his left shoulder.
"BBBBBBBBLLLLLLLLLLLIIIIIIIII IITTTTTTTTTTZZZZZZZZZZZ," Raven cried out tears forming in her eyes
"Get out of here," I managed to croak before I yelled out a battle cry, "HRRRRAH!" I brought a fist up and began launching a barrage of lightening-enhanced punches across the monster face making it remove it mouth to roar its displeasure, still wrap in Wicked Scary's tentacles I launch a fury of kicks aimed at its face sending us into the shadows to continue our fight, "COME ON BITCH! I'LL. BUST. YOUR. FACE. UP!" I yelled out as I brought my cursed arm and repeatedly punched the monster in the face. I gave one more massive punch making Wicked Scary slam into the wall leaving a decent sized crater. I examined the front and back of my hand thinking, 'Damn this thing can pack some serious punch. No pun intended.'
Wicked Scary roared as it rushed forward I ripped off my jacket and threw it at it while I reached into my belt and pulled out a knife. I made it to resemble Hei's (from Darker than Black) weapon of choice complete with a loop at the end so I could attach my hooks to it if I wanted to. I took the knife and threw it through my jacket; I was awarded by a cry of pain as my knife struck its target. I decided to end this fight so I shot out my grappling hooks as I jump over it wrapping the hooks around Wicked Scary. When I landed I spun around and pull my hooks tightening my hold on the monster, "I WONT LOSE TO YOU," I yelled out as I sent out my lightening though the strings that were in my hand electrocuting Wicked Scary. The monster cried out in pain before it disappeared, "What the-" I exclaimed looking around trying to find our intruder. When it didn't return I let the breath that I was holding in loose. Suddenly I fell to the floor holding my left shoulder where Wicked Scary bit me. It was bleeding. A lot.
"Damn it," I grunted as I applied pressure, "Guys, are you there." When I didn't get an answer, I got back up with a couple of cursed words and made my way down the hall way.
As I made my way down the corridor the pain in my shoulder lessens and lessens. I checked my wounds to see that they were almost healed, "I cannot believe I am about to say this but thank you Slade," I said with a shuddered as I open the door to an empty OPS Center. I made my way to one of the computers trying to get something happen.
"Jeez what the hell is going on," I spoke aloud when the computer refused to turn on.
"I-I-I'm scared," Timid stuttered out before Happy and Chivalrous came and tried to comfort the emotion.
"Fear…" I whispered out while the gears in my head began to crank the facts together.
Suddenly the doors open and a tide of black murky liquid came spilling out into the Ops Center. Just as quickly as the water came it disappeared, I look around and I spotted Raven, she was laying motionless on the floor.
"RAVEN!" I cried out as vaulted over the couch and slid to her unmoving form. I turned her over to check to see if she was breathing.
She was not.
"No, No, No," I said as fear took over, "I am not going to lose you, Raven," I cried as I kneeled beside her. I began shaking her, "Raven… please wake up…I can't live without you…." I said tilting her head back, I could feel my cheeks heating up, "Forgive me," I whisper out before I pressed my lips to hers and breathed a breath of air into her lungs.
"I wonder," one of my emotions began, "Does this count as a kiss?"
"Are you serious?" I yelled as I began my third cycle of CPR, I began blushing thinking at the indirect kiss that I as sharing, "We're being attack by a prop from a movie, the girl that I care about is not breathing, and that's all you can think about?"
"Well yeah," the emotion-clone stated, "I mean come on you know you like her."
"I can't," I said, "You know I can't the-"
"ENOUGH," Light yelled out, "you know what; I am tired of this whiny bullshit. Starfire told you nothing is set in stone, you worried about ripping the fabric of time and space well guess what you don't have to since you're from this universe…Oops,"
"What," I growled out. Before I could push further, Raven started coughing up the black water that was in her lungs, "We'll finish this later."
Normal P.O.V
Raven eyes snap open, the mage took a sharp breath of air, filling her lungs since she was on the verge of drowning. Before she could gather her surrounding, something grabs her in a vice grip. Thinking that she was being attacked by Wicked Scary or one of the other creatures that have been bumping around tonight she began thrashing around trying to fight off her captor.
"Raven wait- oph," a voice cried out before her foot connected with who or what was holding her, setting her free. When Raven broke free she gained some distance and turned around to see, "Blitz."
Raven look at her friend who look a little worse for wear. She ran forward and tackled hug him. Blitz who was not expecting it was sent crashing to the ground, "Thank Azar, I thought you were taken?"
"Uh….yeah," Blitz said scratching the back of his head a slight blush came up on his face taking in their innuendo position. Blitz cough in his hand, "It's going to take more than an over grown mutated squid to take me down," Blitz said with a smile which turned into a wince when she pass her hand over his left shoulder, "Your hurt," Raven said placing a hand over the wound to heal it, when she realized that she didn't have her powers.
"Don't worry about it," Blitz said wiping a tear that was forming on her amethyst eyes, "It's healing pretty fast thanks to Chemical X. I'm more worried about you. Are you okay?"
"I…I'm alright" she said, "I'm just glad you're okay."
"Where are the others?" he asked.
"Taken,"
"Shit," Blitz groaned as he got up, "Alright then we have to get out of here and alert Dr. Fate, Zantana, or somebody in Justices League with magical powers." He said as he and Raven made their way to the center of the room.
"How are we going to do that?"
Before Blitz could answer her, they turn around to see Wicked Scary, a giant crow looking creature, and four eyed rats. Somehow they soundlessly gotten into the Ops Center and Blitz was right in the middle of the room, "Blitz come on! RUN!" Raven pleaded as the crow loomed over him, Wicked Scary coming up on his left, while the horde of demonic rats slowly encroached upon him from the right.
"So this is how it's going to be," Blitz said as he put both of his hand into his jacket and in a flash he sent four shuriken which crackled with lightening, two to Wicked scary while the other two went to the crow. He then pulled out his staff and presses the last button, the half of the staff shot out and then at the very top two small poles shot out making the staff take on the appearance of a T. "Well you not going to take us without a fight."
Blitz began to pump his power in to the staff causing the poles to radiate lightening until a construct of a hammer was formed. A hammer made out of pure lightening. "IT'S CLUMBERING TIME," Blitz yelled out bringing his hammer up slamming into the bird creature sending it to the ceiling. He slammed the hammer down a couple of times crushing a few rats before he threw the hammer at Wicked Scary knocking the creature back, Blitz tried to call out his sword Ryūjin only for it to not answer his call, "What," Blitz said as the four-eyed rats began attacking him, the leotard-clad mage's eyes widening and on the brink of tears as he slowly began to be consumed by the rats. "You promised. You promised that you will always be there for me!" Raven pleaded as Blitz disappears before her eyes. Blitz turn towards Raven the look of acceptance on his face, "I will always be with you… I'll be you guardian angel…. I believe in you…..because I….." he said though forced breath thanks the rats crushing his lungs as they consumed him.
"NO!" she cried, the horde dispersing leaving an empty stretch of floor, and her alone. "Stay back!" she said as the rats began to move as an entity towards her, the mage stepping back as the windows behind her turned back. "You don't scare me!" she shouted as a colossal animal shape began to emerge from the window. "I'm not afraid… I'm not afraid…" she said turning away from the thing and closing her eyes, the thing roaring at her. For a long second she clenched her teeth, the images of her friends disappearing one by one.
Blitzkriegs words began to ring out in Raven's mind, "I believe in you."
"I… I am afraid," she said as she opened her eyes wide, finally accepting an inevitable and immutable truth. "I'm afraid. But that doesn't mean I can't fight back!" she said as her eyes turned pitch black, the rats began backing up in fear, the leviathan behind them doing the same as the mage began to chant. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" she said intoned, expelling a massive field of black energy causing the hordes of monsters and the apparitions to evaporate before their bodies began to spiral around her chaotically. The next moment, a giant bird apparition suddenly rose up, letting out a tortured screech before disintegrating, and was sucked back into the roof. The next moment, back in the Ops Center, Raven collapsed insensate, a single tear flowing down her cheek as everything went black.
"Raven. Raven," a far-off voice said, Raven opened her eyes a few moments later.
"You're… You're all okay?" she asked in shock as she saw the others, Cyborg helping her up.
"We were never in any danger," the Boy Wonder stated.
"Say what?" Cy asked in shock.
"Did you not see the monsters?" Beast Boy asked.
"We saw them, but they were never really there," he continued. "Raven was afraid, but when she wouldn't talk about it, so her fear found another way out."
"*Gasp* Her powers!" Star gasped.
"Once you accepted your fear, you regained control over it," Robin then said turning to Raven.
"You mean Raven made all those creepy-crawlies by accident?" Beast Boy asked aghast.
"Uh… sorry?" Raven said with a blush, smiling nervously before she remembers something. "Oh shit Blitzkrieg?" she asked looking around, "Right here," Blitz called out from the couch Terra sitting next to him patching up a few scratches he got from the rats.
"Okay what about Blitz?" Terra asked putting the bandage away, "That thing bit into him, were as it took the rest of us, how do you explain that."
"Hmm, maybe because him and Raven share a closer bond than the rest of us," Robin said.
Cyborg and Beast Boy chuckled earning a death glare from Raven and Blitz; Terra just shuffled her feet as she put away the first aid kit that they had in the kitchen. Raven went over to Blitz, now having her powers back began healing him, 'Blitz was right his wounds are healing quickly. There is hardly anything for me to heal,' Raven thought as she healed her friend thinking that considering that she was the cause of his pains the least she could do was take away all of the pain. The sun began rise over the horizon.
"Sunrise. Time for bed," Cyborg said as the room slowly filled with light.
"Sleep… A most wonderful idea…" Star said floating off.
"You know…" Beast Boy said getting the mage's attention. "Your haunted house was way creepier than that stupid movie. Any chance you'd want to do all this again for Halloween?" the changeling asked.
"Heh. I'm afraid not," Raven sighed as she leaned into the couch, the changeling simply shrugging his shoulders before escorting Terra out of the room. "Blitz," Raven said getting the attention of the electro-kinetic.
"Yea,"
"Thanks for believing in me," the mage said softly drifting off to sleep.
"Hehe, don't mention it," he replied quietly, picking up the sleeping mage bridle style and quietly took her to her room. Once he made it to Raven's room he smoothly place her on the bed and cover her with some blankets, "Have pleasant dreams Raven," Blitz spoke softly placing a light kiss on her forehead. He stealthily made his way out of the room carefully as to not awaken the violet haired duchess of darkness.
Blitz/Sean P.O.V
Once the door closed, I shut my eyes and took a deep breath, "Light you mind telling me what you mean by that I am from this universe?" I asked making my way to my room, barley keeping my anger under control. Light didn't say anything when I enter my room, not a word when sat down on my bed. I decided to visit Light in her domain, a neat trick that Raven taught me. While I can't explore my mind unless I have something like Raven's mirror. I can still visit Light's domains if I wanted to. There was Light sitting in one of the chairs that was circled around the fire place.
"Well….uh….you see….um…..oh look a distraction," Light said nervously pointing at a random direction, I walk over to Light and pulled one of her tails, not a playful pull more like 'Stop fucking around' pull. Something between a yip and moan escaped her mouth making me raised an eyebrow, "Okay I'll tell just promise me you won't get mad."
"….." I said as a sat in a chair that was right in front of her.
"Okay you have a right to be angry,"
"You think," I growled.
Light sighed her ears dropping, "Okay, look your ancestors came from this universe-" Light began explaining only for me cut in my voice raising, "If my ancestors are from this universe than how in the hell did I end up in the universe that I was born in."
Light growled showing her teeth her ears lying flat, "Look I know that you're mad I get that but right now you need to fucking chill out and let me finish my story, your questions will be answered."
"…Fine…" I said sitting back into my chair, "talk."
"Now…." Light cleared her throat, "Long ago your clan was at war with demons. This war had lasted for generations, no one know for sure how long this war was going on. But one day the elders of your clan decided that this war had gone on long enough. The numbers in your clan was dwindling, down to a few hundred. So in order to save your clan and protect the world the elders made a pact with us the Kitsune, or the nine-tail foxes."
"Pact?"
"Yes a pact in exchange for our power and protection we us your clans bodies as hosts."
"Like the way me and you,"
"Sort of…"
I raised an eyebrow, "Let me finish okay. When the deal was sealed your ancestors not only defeated the demons, but push them back into hell or wherever they came from. Afterwards there was a time of peace your clan flourished and prospered protecting the world. You could say that they were the first superhero group. As time passed the bound that the fox and it's host shared grew stronger and began to evolved until you get what we have. Everything was fine until what you humans call the Dark Ages."
"I thought that was only in Europe,"
"Europe was not the only one to go through a time of darkness," Light waved her hand back and forth, "The humans began hunting your clan down like animals. Somewhere afraid, others wanted the power that your clan had," Light shook her head whipping the tears that was forming in her eyes, it look like she was recounting painful memories, "Long story short the elders sacrificed themselves in order to open a portal to another universe and allowing the remaining survivors to escape to the world where you were born and raised. In order to fit in with the populace the survivors and the Kitsune agreed to seal away their powers. Thanks to that we were able to stay safe and hidden all of these years, every time a Kitsune fused with the host he or she would seal themselves away."
"If that's true then how am I able to talk to you?" I asked.
"Well remember when I said that the bonds grow and evolve," I nodded my head, "even though we seal ourselves away the bond is still there, and as far as I know I'm the only one that has talked to a host in hundreds years."
"Okay two questions; One: Is there a way to unseal whatever you sealed away, and Two: why did you start talking to me in the first place?"
"Well to answer you first question," Light paused, "Yes. How do you think you were able to pick up parkour so easy or where you're lightening powers came from. Kitsune have many abilities which include, control of fire and lightening, illusions, and other things which I'll tell and teach you later." I sat there slacked jawed, Light just smirked, "Thanks to Arella I was able give you your inheritance, you might have notice that your sense of smell, sight, hearing and other physical attributes have increased."
"Yea, but I thought that it was Slade's chemical X did that."
"No, all that stuff really did give you what you already have. So when Slade pump you with that chemical I immediately destroyed it and began fusing your body with the power you were born with."
"What about the shaking and throwing up?"
"How else was I supposed to get rid of that stuff," Light said I just stared out her, "Now for you second question, I was bored just watching you go about your life, besides I….was lonely."
"Well, thanks, for being there for me," I said as I sat there staring at the floor, soaking everything in. It made sense why my kyoshin abilities gives me fox ears and tails, why this reality isn't collapsing in on itself, and I understand why Light didn't tell me this sooner. Truthfully I would probably would have laugh at her face and pass it off as a joke, but I'm still made that she didn't tell me this. But the I still wonder how does she know all of this, she makes it sound like she has lived it.
I look back up, "How do you know all of this?"
"Because I lived it," Light looks at my confused look, "It's part of the pact, when the host dies the Kitsune that inhabited that body goes to another clan member's body, if one is not available we wait until there is one."
"And you didn't think to tell me this before, it would have saved me a lot of stress,"
"The time wasn't right and I didn't know how to tell you…" Light said trailing off as she nervously began picking at her tail.
"And…" I said picking up on Light nervousness.
"Because I didn't want you to be with Raven."
"Why?"
"Because I…I love you," Light stood up and began walking towards me adopting a seductive sway making me blush, "Think about it. Who can be the more perfect lover for you, besides me," she said getting very close to me as more blood rushed to my face and…..somewhere else, "I know everything about you," she continued as she straddled me one of her tails playfully brushes down my neck causing me to shiver, "And I know you can't resist this body," she whispers as she presses her…impressive size chest into me. "And I will never hurt you or leave you or use you."
By this time her face is inches away from me I was about to give in when I notice a small black bird rested on Light's now vacant chair. The bird stared at me with violet eyes. No I can't do this I love Raven….wait…. where did that come from. Sure I have a crush on her but love? Should I give love another chance? Wait. What was I doing….oh that's right.
I snapped out of my random inner monolog, and lightly pushed Light away, "I can't do this now I need time to think."
"It's her isn't it," Light pretty much shouted before she calmed down and gave me a hungry look, "Come on let's do it. I'll rock your world so hard you won't even think about her."
I stood up, "One: you just dump a lot on my shoulders I need time to take it in. Two: don't think I'm not angry at you I might understand why you kept this secret from, but you should have told me. And Three: how on earth can we have a relationship you are a part of me it wouldn't work."
"I know a trick or two," Light said licking her lips.
I tried my best to keep my raging hormones in check, "Look I need time to think I had long night. We'll discuss this on a later date," I said before I left the room.
[With Light]
Light sat burning a hole into the floor. She looks up and glared at the raven, "Why did you interfere," she growled.
The bird cocks it's head to the side before jumping up in the air and transformed into a violet clad Sean, "Because you know as well as I that he loves Raven, whether he admits it or not."
"So that means that I have no chance than, that's all hopeless," Light spat at Sean's Affection/Love.
"No, I said that he loves Raven," Affection said as he began walking towards Light, "that doesn't mean that he will end up with her, and that also doesn't mean that he doesn't love you." Affection leans down and kisses Light on the lips, "Continue to be there for him and you might have your chance at love," the emotion said when the two broke apart.
"Are you sure your Affection and not Wisdom incognito," Light said blushing, her fingers tracing her lips. The emotion just smirked before he left the room leaving Light alone in the room.
Light sighed, "Alright I'll wait and bid my time," Light then began smiling mischievously, "maybe even have a little fun while I'm at it."
[The Next Morning]
With Sean
I was standing in the bathroom looking at myself in the mirror. I remember readying something about Kitsune some time ago about how they look in human form. And sure enough have the signature narrow face, thin eyebrows, and high cheekbones. My eyes are starting to turn into what people would call close-set, the change is small and slow so that is probably why I have not pick upon it. I guess that is why I was picked on so much for looking like a girl. Although traditionally, this facial structure would be considered attractive, I guess on a girl it would. Oh well, I slip up my face mask and put on my trench coat, no point in worrying about it now. I turn and left my bathroom and continue out the room heading towards a new day.
So what do you guys think.
Anyway I'll try and update during my vacation, but i am not making any promises. (Reviews will motivate me, if you catch my drift)
And I need some help for the next chapter. I plan on doing Date with Destiny but I need some help. I don't know if I should get Kitten to asked Robin and Blitz or just Blitz, so i need your help to decide. The more opinions or suggestions I get, the faster I'll be able to post the next chapter.
