Yin and Yang

Raven's POV

"Ready?" Rorek asked. "Once we step through these doors there is no turning back. Trigon waits on the other side, we all know it."

I nodded. It was several days later and Crescent's birthday.

"What a happy birthday this will be," Malefica observed.

'This is it, it's time to end it,' Bravery said from within me.

"Today we fight for earth, or die trying," Robin said firmly. "We fight as a team… we fight as the Teen Titans."

We all nodded.

"And no matter what happens, we are always the team," Beast Boy said.

"We must move quickly," Rorek cut in. "Trigon must be aware of our presences, and he is just waiting for us to enter."

"Then let's go," I said. "Take my hand," I reached out to everyone, and they all did. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos," a black raven encased us and teleported us to inside Trigon's throne room.

We stood before him, the great demon lord, and my father.

"We've come, Trigon," I spat.

Trigon laughed. He was huge, and dangerous, and we might die in this fight, but I was ready.

"Fools, you have made my job only easier!" Trigon laughed. "Follow me if you wish!" he snapped his huge fingers and suddenly, he melted into his throne.

"What the hell!" Speedy cried. "What now?"

"Damn," I muttered. "Trigon is going to resurrect Karaz. Crescent, you and I must follow him. It is too dangerous for the rest of you."

"No!" they all cried.

"We've come too far to abandon you now, friend Raven," Starfire shook her head. "We go together."

"You shall die together…" Trigon's voice rang through the huge room.

I fell to my knees… my strength left me. I felt weak. Crescent did too. "The Orb of Karaz has been… activated… we must destroy it be—before he comes," I gasped.

Suddenly, the room turned black, and it seemed as if I was miles away form everyone.

'One of Trigon's tricks!' Wisdom cried.

"I can't go on!" I cried, but my voice sounded hollow and it echoed. The darkness pulled at my limbs, and I felt as if I was being ripped apart.

"What's happening!" I heard Crescent scream.

"Crescent!" I shouted.

"Raven, help! I'm dying!" Crescent shrieked.

"He can't kill you!" I called, even though I couldn't see her. "He needs us! The Orb of Karaz is draining us, I don't even know if the others are in this illusion!"

"Raven!" Crescent continued screaming.

Beast Boy's POV

"Raven!" I called. She and Crescent were convulsing violently on the ground. Spit gurgled in their mouths and their eyes were white and blank. I got on my knees and shook her up and down. "Wake up!"

"She won't wake," a voice said.

We looked up and saw a figure standing before us. He was wearing a long black robe and his face was hooded.

"They are making their own paths," the figure continued. "And they are on their own."

"Liar!" Malefica cried. "Who are you!"

"I am nothing and everything. I am what you fear the most," the figure flipped its head so that its hood fell off.

Before me stood Terra… "No…" tears came to my eyes.

"What's the matter Beast Boy?" she sneered.

"NO!" I cried.

Suddenly I was alone.

Rorek's POV

The dragon Malchior stood before me. "You are nothing more than an illusion! You are a trick of Trigon! And I will shatter it!"

The dragon opened its maw and fire poured out to meet me.

Malefica's POV

"Leave me alone!" I screamed. My mother and father were standing before me. I ran but they pursued.

"You left us…" they chanted.

"Get away!" I shrieked. "You can't be real! You're dead!"

Robin's POV

"Slade," I snarled. "You died!"

"Poor, poor Robin. I cannot die, and you must face that you cannot win," Slade replied and ran forward.

Starfire's POV

"How long has it been, little sister?" Blackfire asked.

"You are not real!" I yelled. "You cannot be!"

"You're never be rid of me, little Kori," Blackfire's eyes glowed purple.

Cyborg's POV

It stood before me, the enormous jelly-like creature that had killed my mother and father and had made me who I was.

It roared.

"No! Not again!" I cried as it descended upon me.

Speedy's POV

Cheshire charged, she was the only who had ever broken my bow.

"Aah!" I cried and brought it up to stop her, and her claws came down.

Aqualad's POV

"Get away!" I cried as Trident chased me.

"You can't escape!" Trident roared and continued to run after me.

"No! Leave me alone!"

Bumblebee's POV

Punk Rocket and Angel pursued me relentlessly. I couldn't escape them… they would catch up to me and overpower me again.

"You can never escape!"

Más's POV

"¡Menos!" I cried. "¿Dondé estás?" I wandered around in nothingness, trying to find Menos… I needed my brother. "¿Menos?" I asked hopelessly.

Menos's POV

"¡Más!" I shouted. "¿Dondé estás?" I couldn't find my brother, maybe his magnetism to me would bring us together, but without him I was powerless…

Raven's POV

"Crescent!" I shrieked. I could barely feel my emotions anymore, and I was lost in this liquid darkness. I could just feel my sister somewhere… but where was I?

'You are the Yang… Yin and Yang depend on each other… give to each other, and take from each other…' My mother's voice came into my head.

"Crescent… focus your powers on darkness!" I shouted. "Give all your strength to it."

"Y—yes Raven…"

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos… Azarath Metrion Zinthos… Azarath Metrion Zinthos," I sang, and in the distance I made out Crescent's mantra.

"Karazon Racashaus Endere… Karazon Racashaus Endere… Karazon Racashaus Endere…"

'Together… Yin and Yang! Yin and Yang! They are one, not separate!'

"Crescent… say the mantras together!"

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos, Karazon Racashaus Endere! Yin and Yang!" we cried together. Suddenly, light gushed forth from my body, and in the darkness around me melted away. Close to me, a dark purple light flared to life, and the two forces molded together.

My strength returned to me, and suddenly, the blackness around me receded, and Crescent and I were side by side in a long, smelly corridor.

"Oh my God…" Crescent gasped. "What was that?"

"Trigon… he was trying to slow our progress," I answered.

"Wait, Raven. Look at what he can do… and he needs us to bring Karaz back, so wouldn't it be better if we just stay put and let the others take care of this?" Crescent asked.

I was silent for a few minutes.

'Cowardice… pah! Never!' Bravery roared.

I shook my head. "We are the only ones, Crescent. We may be walking right into a trap, but we have to fight. This is what it all comes down to: we win or we lose, we live or we die. This hall leads to where Trigon will resurrect Karaz, and we have to go." I reached my hand out to her and she grasped it. "Let's go."

Rorek's POV

"You're just an illusion!" I cried as I rolled out of the dragon's way. "Nothing more!" Memories of the horrors Malchior had wrought came back to me, and I felt my courage slipping away. "I… I… what is this place?" I gasped.

Malchior roared and his fire poured down on me. I put my hands up and erected a feeble shield. The fire shattered it and I was sent flying; I felt the warmth of blood running down the back of my head.

'Do not surrender yourself to despair… have courage, or all is lost. What do you love most in life? Love vanquishes the fear…' A woman's voice rang through my head.

"Malefica…" I was able to whisper as the dragon's tail came down on me, but as it was about to strike, it vanished, and I found myself in the throne room.

Crescent's POV

We burst through the doors. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos! Karazon Racashaus Endere!" we roared simultaneously. Trigon whirled around as the spell struck him squarely in the chest. The demon lord gasped as the white and black beam pierced his flesh, but surprisingly, a smile came across his face.

"You are… too late, and you have added yourselves… to him," he said as he dropped to the floor.

"What?" I cried as our combined attack was sucked into the Orb. "NO!"

The Orb began to glow a sick red light and I fell to my knees as weakness washed over me. My vision became blurred and my thoughts were cloudy, and my strength was leaving me… my powers were slipping away.

"Raven!"

'Have hope… take from me,' I heard her say in my mind. I reached out to my sister and felt her subconscious and the great well of power within it.

"Yin and Yang."

The red light receded and I felt a part of my strength return to me. My hand was grasping Raven's, and we were floating a few feet above the ground. Raven brought us down, and a dry laugh met us. My head snapped up and my blood froze. Hovering above Trigon's corpse was a floating figure. Four red eyes glowed beneath a hood, and its black cloak flowed into shadows. A suffocating red aura surrounded it.

"Excellent… you will make much better servants than your pathetic father," the thing rasped as it floated over Trigon's body.

"What are you?" I demanded.

"The Dark Lord Karaz," Raven closed her eyes. "He has come. We have failed."

"Good girl," Karaz sneered and came closer to us. "Bow to me."

"No!" I roared. "Raven, get up!" I pulled my sister up before she could bow. 'Take from me…'

"You will speak when spoken to," Karaz hissed and suddenly, the air around my throat thickened. Darkness poured into my mouth and eyes and I felt my body failing once more, and then, as suddenly as it had begun, it stopped, and I dropped to my knees.

"Very good girl," Karaz laughed.

I struggled to my feet. "I refuse to give up," I gasped. "After all I've been through, I refuse! Karazon Racashaus Endere!" I screamed. Black lightning crashed into Karaz, but it was assimilated into him.

"Fool!" he hissed. "Morte Cruxis Zinthos!" he hissed.

My shriek pierced the air around me as excruciating pain enveloped my entire being. I felt life slipping away from me… how many times had I almost died? Was this how I would perish? On a foreign world, fighting a demon lord?

"Booyah!" I heard someone cry faintly.

"How dare you!" Karaz hissed distantly.

The pain lessened, but a sharp stinging remained. I turned my head to the side and saw Raven on the ground, bleeding through her mouth. My vision returned to me and I looked around to see my friends.

"Wha…what?" I asked as Aqualad pulled me up.

"Trigon had us in a curse, but once he was destroyed, it broke," Rorek explained as Beast Boy brought Raven to her feet.

"Trigon is nothing compared to me!" Karaz roared.

"It doesn't matter," Beast Boy said as he put his arm around Raven. "You can't take all of us."

"I beg to differ!" Karaz's eyes leapt to life in fire and suddenly, all of them fell around us. I stumbled from not having Aqualad to hold myself against, and Raven practically fell back to the ground. Slowly, I regained my footing, and Raven got up too. Rorek and Malefica stirred, but their eyes remained closed.

I took Raven's hand. 'Can we do this?' I asked mentally.

'We have to… take my hand… remember what mother said, draw from each other…'

I reached out and grasped Raven's hand and closed my eyes. It was cold and I didn't feel the light that I knew was within her somewhere.

'Do not abandon yourselves to despair…'

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos…

"Karazon Racashaus Endere…

"Yin and Yang…"

My eyes shot open and a black magic poured out from my mouth and white light shone from Raven. The Yin and Yang symbol formed above us and I felt the immeasurable power flow into me once more.

I opened my mouth to speak, and Raven spoke with me. "No matter what your powers are… we are the Daughter of Azarath, the Prophetic Two. You are nothing compared to us!"

Black and white fire erupted throughout Azarath, and Karazon's scream floated into the air. I heard a shattering as the Orb of Karaz was broken into a thousand pieces.

"To oblivion with you, wench!" we roared. "Tremble before the Daughters of Azarath!"

Karaz's screams continued to rise into the air as he melted into nothingness, and then, when I could no longer feel his presence, I released my power, and the Yin-Yang symbol faded above us. The others were standing up, but in shock.

"That was… amazing," Robin admitted.

Raven's POV

'Did that seriously just happen?' Wisdom seemed dumbfounded.

'Could you feel the power?' Rage hissed.

'Yes, and it didn't consume me… amazing,' I said.

Suddenly, Beast Boy ran forward and pressed his lips against mine. His arms wrapped around my waist and drew me close to him.

'Ooh!' Love squealed. 'I still got it!'

Suddenly, the castle shook violently. The ground cracked and the walls began to cave.

"What's happening?" Bumblebee yelled.

"The planet is collapsing!" Rorek shouted.

"We have to leave!"

"I'll never be able to summon a portal with all of this," I cried.

Malefica shook her head. "Go," she said. "I'll hold the planet."

"But…" Rorek began.

"No, Rorek," she shook her head. "I've taken so much from all of you, it's time for me to give it back. Raven, I will hold the planet until you have left."

"Are you sure?" I was amazed at her courage.

Robin shook his head. "No. You helped us, and we're not leaving you behind."

The bricks began to crumble.

"Go!" she screamed.

"Robin, we must," Starfire sighed.

"Please…" Malefica's eyes grew sad.

Rorek walked up to her and kissed her softly. "Goodbye," he smiled sadly.

"Goodbye," she whispered. Malefica put her hands out and her eyes began to glow a brilliant purple. Suddenly, time froze. "Go…"

"Thank you, Malefica," a smile graced my face. "Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos," I put my hand out and a portal opened. Beyond it was home, and with a final glance at my new friend, I stepped through it.

Karaz was gone, Trigon was dead, now one last task lay ahead.
