Chapter 6: Night Visitor

In the tower, some of the Titans and their visitors conferred with one another about all that had happened, and what would happen. For some reason, Beast Boy had confined himself to his room and was deep in thought. Naturally this came as a surprise to the others as he was usually the most cheerful of all. Choosing to leave him alone for now, Cyborg, Robin, and Starfire were caught up in conversation with Glimmer, Sister Water, and Brother Fire in the living room. Raven was meditating and contemplating her Father's involvement in all this, and Drake was conversing with Spirit and Sister Shadow.

"So where exactly did you and your siblings come from Glimmer?" asked Robin.

'We came from a dimension that was connected to all the other dimensions in existence.' Said Glimmer. 'Our father, the dragon of Infinity, and our mother, Spirit, were created in the small big bang the Forces of Light created to form the dimension. Soon, we were born, and from that dimension, we watched in safety for any advancement made by the Darkness.'

"But how was it that nobody came into your dimension?" asked Starfire.

'Because…' Said Sister Water, 'our parents created barriers to restrict passage to our dimension in order to protect us.'

"Then how did you end up here?" said Cyborg.

'When Chernabog joined with Trigon, our dimension was the first one they struck.' Answered Glimmer. 'They struck several of the barriers at once. Mother and Father tried to hold the barriers, but they finally pierced through one. Hordes of Heartless poured through that one crack in our defense. We fled across dimensions…'

"And ended up here." Raven had finished meditating and had come to join the Titans. "Sister Water and Brother Fire, I have a question. Drake is supposedly the Chosen of Spirit. You were with Drake. Is there anything that you can tell us about him?" she asked.

'He's unreal!' said Brother Fire. 'He wasn't originally with us when we came from the portal. While Glimmer, Sister Earth and Brother Wind had split off, Sister Water, Sister Shadow, and I followed our mother. When we finally landed, another vortex into this world opened and Shadows came from it. Mother had become tired from protecting us when we fled our dimension and couldn't fight. We tried to hold them off but without the power of the bond we weren't strong enough. They were about to wipe us out when Drake appeared!'

"Appeared?" asked Starfire.

'Yeah!' Said Brother Fire. 'With a big entrance! It looked like he came from another dimension too because he sliced a tear into this dimension!'

"Say WHAT?" Cyborg yelled.

'He made a cut and jumped through to here.' Said Brother Fire. 'Then he raised his hand and the tear sealed. What happened next was incredible! Out of nowhere a bizarre weapon appeared in his hand. He then ran toward the Shadows and started slicing through them! The weapon was able to cut and slash them! He ripped through them easily, but some NeoShadows appeared and things started to get bad! They were ripping black lines in his skin and were burning him with their green fire. We thought he was done for, but suddenly he began to glow. We saw mother glow too and that's when Drake said her name!'

"What happened then?" asked Robin.

'Our mother grew larger and much more powerful, but she didn't even get the chance to use her power!' said Brother Fire.

"What do you mean?" asked Raven.

'Drake beat her to it!' said Brother Fire. 'When mother joined with him his glow flickered, and turned darker! His weapon blackened and changed form, and he grew two black wings! He then moved with blinding speed and began to slaughter the Heartless! He flew among them and completely ripped and slashed them apart! When he finished, he turned to us, and we could see that his eyes were filled with darkness! He started toward us, growling! But our mother looked at him and she communicated something to him telepathically. Mother barred us from her message, but whatever she said, Drake calmed down, changed back and collapsed. He apologized to my siblings and me and asked if we could forgive him. I thought what he did was cool and he did save our lives, so we told him not to worry and that we forgave him. Then our mother told him about the Chosen and he very eagerly agreed to help us. So now here we are.' Brother Fire finished.

"Whoa…" all the titans said at once.

"Anything else?" Raven asked.

'Nope! That's all we know about Drake' said Sister Water. 'I'm still just happy I found some new friends.' She said cheerily. 'Robin, could you tell us more about you and the titans? I would like to know more about my great new friends.'

"Sure! Anything for a friend." Said Robin. He then began telling Sister Water about how he trained with Batman, started the Teen Titans, and all the adventures they had had.

While Robin told his story, Drake was evaluating each of the titans with Spirit and Sister Shadow.

"Cyborg…he has a strong heart. If he didn't, that NeoShadow would have taken his heart instantly." He said. "Beast Boy…Something really seems to have gotten to him. I not exactly sure what to think of him yet. Starfire has a gentle spirit, even though she sometimes acts…irregular. She seems very serious though, about being a Chosen. Glimmer sure seemed to warm up to her."

'Then there is Robin.' Said Sister Shadow, 'Sister Water has become friendly with him unusually quick. I wonder…'

"The one I really can't figure out though…" said Drake, "…is Raven. She has a…cloudy aura."

"Raven is a special case." Said Spirit, "She'll tell us when she is ready. I may know about her, but it's not my place to tell others. Besides…" she said, "you'll tell them about you when you're ready, right?"

Drake turned and gazed out the window. "I'm not sure I can ever do that…" he said.

"Drake…" said Spirit, "I know what happened to you and so does Sister Shadow. We know how painful your past is, but you need to open up to others."

'Mother is right.' said Sister Shadow, 'If you allow yourself to be ruled by the pain of your past it will consume you. The Darkness feeds upon negative emotions. The more you obsess about it, the stronger it gro…'

"ENOUGH!" Drake turned to them and yelled, "My past is mine to deal with! What I lost can never be replaced! Until you understand what its like to lose someone you care about, you will know nothing of me!"

Drake swept past them and out the door. Spirit staggered a bit, but then righted herself.

'Mother?' said Sister Shadow.

"Don't worry child. I'm fine" said Spirit.

'Drake…'

"I know." Said Spirit. "But he is right. We don't know that pain of loss, and I pray we never have to."

When he had gone out of earshot Drake reached to a chain around his neck. He then pulled out a silver, heart-shaped pendant. "Sis…" He whispered, and then he tucked the pendant away.

While Robin was telling Sister Water his story, Brother Fire left to explore the tower, Cyborg went to work on his many different machines, Glimmer fell asleep and Raven left to think about what she had just heard. When Robin finished, Sister Water was spellbound.

'Wow…' She said, 'you guys have been through a lot.'

"Yeah, but we get by." Said Robin.

'Thanks for telling me that story Robin.' Said Sister Water, 'I learned a lot.' She then laid down next to Glimmer and drifted off to sleep.

"That was very sweet of you Robin." Said Starfire.

"Yeah…" said Robin. He then turned to Starfire. "I guess I see a little bit of you in her, Starfire."

"Really?" said Starfire. "Yeah." Said Robin "She has that cheerful attitude of yours, and above all…" he then whispered, "...she has that same glow of innocence you have. That glow that…when I saw you I…" Robin hesitated, then finally came out with it, "...fell in love with."

"Oh Robin…" Starfire said softly. She kissed him, right there. And with it Robin fell into that warm glow he had come to love so much. Then their lips parted and Starfire laid her head against his shoulder and they too, drifted of to sleep.

Neither of them saw the other coming. Raven turned a corner in the hall and crashed right into Drake. Drake quickly reached out and caught Raven before she fell.

"You okay?" He asked, his voice full of concern.

Raven felt the warmth of his hand on her arm, then blushed and said hurriedly, "um yeah. I…I'm fine." She then looked at Drake, "By the way, do you know where you are going to sleep?" She asked.

"I'll manage." Said Drake.

"Actually we have a place where you could sleep." Said Raven. She led him to a separate room a little bit off from hers.

"This room was made as sort of a guest room." Raven suppressed a giggle. Hearing this, Drake looked inside and paled.

Pink. Pink pink pink. Pink as far as the eye could see. Pink walls. Pink floor. Pink bed. Various pink stuffed animals were lined against the walls. Pink. Pink. PINK!

"Uhhhhh…" said Drake, "I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that that girl Starfire designed this?"

"YYYeah." Raven chuckled.

"OOOkaaaay…" said Drake, "No disrespect, but for me, this won't do at all."

Drake raised his hand, and Raven gasped as the room began to shimmer. There was a flash, and when Raven opened her eyes, the room was transformed. The room had a…darker quality. The stuffed animals had vanished all together. The walls and ceiling were black, while the floor was dark gray. The bed now resembled a dragon-like mouth. There was also a dark purple dresser drawer with silver candles along it, and a large mirror.

"Niiice...how did you do that?" asked Raven.

"A bit of conjuration. I know a little magic." Said Drake, "Oh and tell Starfire not to worry about the stuffed animals."

"Why? Where are they?" Asked Raven.

Drake turned and said with a wide grin, "Your room."

"WHAT?" Raven screamed.

Several of the nearby lights in the hall instantly turned black and exploded violently. Raven dashed to her room and looked inside, sure enough. All the pink animals were piled on her bed. Raven turned back toward Drake but saw only his shut door.

"Payback for picking this room first above all others." Came Drake's voice from the door.

Raven turned back to the animals and lifted them with her powers. "I'm going to let this go for now." She whispered. "But mark my words Drake." She grinned "I am sooo going to get you for this." She then waved her hand, and the animals all floated out and went into Starfire's room. Raven then went to her room and went to sleep.

In his room Drake made a new adjustment. For reasons of his own he created a few walls and separated his bed from the rest of his room. 'Now I can be forewarned if someone comes in.' he thought to himself. He then took a small bluish, black-winged drake statue from his pocket and set it on his drawer. Then he opened the door to his separate bedroom, went in, and went to sleep.

In the middle of the night Drake awoke to the sound of movement and clinking outside his bedroom.

'Aw jeez! Doesn't sound friendly. Oh well, I'm going to try to enjoy this.' He thought.

Quietly he got up and slowly opened the door to the rest of his room. A figure in dark, hooded clothing was taking things from his dresser and throwing them into a small bag nearby. Drake silently crept up behind the figure.

"Don't move." Drake growled. The figure froze. Drake picked up the bag and looked inside. "What did you take?"

He saw the drake statue inside. "The statue?" he said angrily and reached for it. "My grandma gave that to m…"

Drake was cut of as the figure whirled about and waved a hand. Drake felt himself thrown back and hit the ground stunned. The figure walked up to him, laughed, and removed his hood.

"That grandma! What big teeth she had!" The hood left revealed a face of pure malice. The figure had eyes with deep black pupils and blazing hair that rose in three prongs to create a disturbingly hellish crown.

"Seru…" Drake scowled.

Seru laughed. "Don't act surprised Drake." He snickered. "You didn't really you could escape your past that easily did you?"

Seru sauntered past Drake to gaze out the window. "You had to know I'd come to settle accounts, and the best part is…not a soul but you knows I'm here yet." He chuckled.

"You'll be sailing past the moon before they do!" Drake growled.

Drake leapt toward Seru's back, but Seru spun and thrust his hand forward. Drake stopped and hung in midair.

"Cool huh?" Seru said, "Got it from you really. Little something I was working on when you…DUMPED ME IN THAT DIMENSION!" He screamed.

He swung his arm to the side, and Drake flew aside and slammed into one of the walls. He fell to the ground clutching his side. Seru walk up to Drake and again, extended his hand.

"Good ideas…" Seru lifted Drake to face him again as he spoke, "…never go out of style, so here we are!" Then he swung his arm upward and Drake crashed into the ceiling.

Raven heard the second crash, woke up and gasped as she heard Drake hit the floor again.

Seru heard her gasp and called to her room, "Hey don't bother with 9-1-1 sweetheart! I cut the wires! Just…leave the scene okay?"

He lifted Drake again and waved his arm upwards three more times. BAM! SLAM! CRUNCH! Drake slammed into the ceiling and dropped repeatedly. Before Drake could hit the ground, Seru again stopped him in midair. Holding Drake in midair, Seru glanced around the room.

"You know, y-you really should remodel. This place would be nice…"

Again he swung his arm.

WHAM! WHAM!

"…if you opened it up."

CRAASSSSHHH!

Drake broke straight through the wall, and right into Raven's room. Seru followed in, takingout a pop bottle he had raided from the Titan's fridge earlier. He looked around and took a deep breath.

"Oh! I like that. Don't you think? It's airy. It's airy…" Then he tipped the bottle, guzzled the drink down, and tossed it aside.

Then he turned his attention to Raven, who had gotten up and was staring at him. "I believe I said you could gooooo!" Then he turned back to Drake and again lifted him into the air.

"Now don't try to help him out, you little scamp…and I'll let you live."

Behind him, Raven closed her eyes.

Seru sighed, "It's not your fault. You just shouldn't have gotten involved with my nemesis here…"

Raven's eyes flew open, glowing white. All the power she gathered was released in one burst. It staggered Seru and broke his control over Drake. Drake landed on his feet and lunged at Seru as Raven gathered for another hex. Seru threw both his arms out and both Drake and Raven were immobilized. Seru walked up to Raven and removed her hood.

"Oh! Nooo…Raven?" Seru said incredulously. "This is Raven? Oh jeez! This is Trigon's kid?" Seru laughed uproariously.

"I've got myself…not one…but two demonspawn! Looks like I've hit the jackpot! And yooouuu…" he turned to Drake, "you…have been the cloud in father's otherwise perfect day. You know I can't let you go walking around with that meddlesome weapon of yours…"

Seru stopped speaking suddenly as a low hiss came from behind him.

"Huh?"

He turned and walked towards the hiss. Then he could swear he heard the hiss coming from above him. He looked up but saw only the black ceiling. He turned and looked to Drake and Raven questioningly. Again he heard the hiss above him and he looked back at the ceiling closer. Now he could swear a piece of the ceiling was shifting slightly.

"Wait a minute…"

Seru then gasped as two golden eyes opened from the ceiling. It was Sister Shadow! She opened her mouth, and a gush of dark flame blazed forward, right into Seru's face! Seru cursed in pain and threw his hands up to his face, batting the flames away. Then he threw both his hands up, and a glowing dark blue sphere surrounded him. He then looked around and almost lost his composure. All the Titans were surrounding him. Sister Shadow had dropped down from the ceiling and was hissing angrily. Seru then turned toward the window and paled. Spirit almost filled the entire screen. Glimmer, Sister Water, and Brother Fire hovered beside her, all gazing at him. Seru sweated for a few moments, then he grinned as a malicious idea came to him.

"Since the gang's all here, I might as well get a little information." He laughed evilly.

Raven felt a sharp pain exploding in her head. All the other Titans staggered in pain as well. Seru was invading their minds!

"Interesting…but nothing I can really use except…" Seru stopped short and then focused on Beast Boy.

"Well...well...well…what have we here?" He said slowly with a dark grin, "This is very interesting!"

Beast Boy paled. "No…" he whispered.

"Oh yes…" chuckled Seru, "this could save my father a lot of grief! Best to break the chain at it's weakest link, but I wonder who really is the weakest link? Her…" he whispered in a mocking tone, "...or you?"

Seru then laughed wickedly. "I guess I'll send some of our subordinates to smash that worthless thing up! And…" He grinned evilly, "We just happen to have the proper man to do it."

"No…" said Beast Boy, "Leave her alone!"

He leapt forward, but smashed against the sphere. Seru continued as if nothing had happened, "I've got better things to do than play with you clowns. But before I go, let me leave you a few playmates!" Seru swept out one hand.

The Titans backed away as three dark pools formed around Seru. Out of the pools arose what the Titans could only guess to be three feral, black cats.

"These…" said Seru, "…are my own special breed of Heartless. These were originally NeoShadows, but thanks to my own special touch…they are so much more."

As the titans watched, bluish glowing veins shifted and pulsed as they ran across the length of the cats, appearing, disappearing, and reappearing again. All the while the cats fixed their glowing, yellow, soulless eyes on them.

"You should find these three to be more than a handful." Laughed Seru, "Now I must bid you all farewell. We won't meet again! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!"

Seru drove his fist into the floor, and it, along with all the floors beneath it, collapsed, sending all the Titans crashing to the bottom floor. While the Titans fell, Seru waved his arm. A portal opened and, with one last evil laugh to the Titans, Seru entered the vortex, leaving them to contend with their fall…and the threat of the ShadowCats that followed.

Review please! And by the way...I owe the idea of Seru's entrance to Brad Bird and the people at Pixar. Those guys are amazing! They never fool around when it comes to movie making. And the ShadowCat Heartless originate from the game DevilMayCry. I just thought 'they would make PERFECT Heartless!' Oh Yeah! HotShot45...Welcome to the group! I'm sorry if you couldn't review earlier.
