Well guys, important announcement time...

This Monday, I received my mission call. For those who don't know what that is, it is when a Mormon 18 or 19 year old has applies to serve two years in a foreign place that the high leadership chooses. And I was chosen Monday to serve in the Lansing, Michigan mission. I report in on January 25, 2017.

This all adds up to me saying I won't be updating for two years. Period. End of story. After January 25. And no amount of crying or begging will change it.

I didn't want to rush this story to leave a sloppy ending. But I didn't want to cut it short either to leave you guys hanging. So I found a simple solution. I'm making an ending, for part One of this story. Part Two will come in February or March of 2019. And will be added on to this story.

So please, be happy that I have the time to get this to a part where it can cut off. I will also have time to finish The White Stick. And several other one-shots. All future idea stories will be on hold. But until then, enjoy the chapter!

Chapter Twenty-Six: Wonder Vs. Beast & Terra Vs. Raven


"You know what I- Gah!"

Beast Boy narrowly jumped back in time to avoid the tip of a steel sword that came out of the rock in front of him. The sword continued through the air, cutting right through a boulder to the right of Beast Boy. His eyes were wide with shock as the boulder was split in half.

'What the hell! Did that thing just come out of the rock in front of us!?'

In answer, a person wielding the sword, along with a brown gold ring plated shield with writing along the edges stepped out of the rock wall in front of him. Her body solidified as it came out into the open air in front of him. She was still adorned in her traditional Amazonian armor. And the scowl on her face had not decreased in the slightest since the last time he saw her.

'I believe this is the question we should be asking master; Did the enemy just come of the rock in front of us?!'

Wonder Woman brought her sword up in challenge at Beast Boy. And Beast Boy briefly took note that the sword had the same writing as the shield.

"Well little changeling, are you ready to meet the Greek god of hell?" Wonder Woman spat.

Despite the situation he was in, and despite the fact that he could already hear a fight going on on the other side of the wall, Beast Boy had a smirk appear on his face.

"Meet? I thought I was already looking at her."

Wonder Woman screamed in rage as she jumped forward. Her steel sword, also known as the Sword of Athena, already slicing down to chop Beast Boy in two.


Raven snapped out of her shock just in time and raised a black shield in front of her. The stalagmite impacted with it, and exploded into a bunch of little shards.

'Okay, coming out of the rock, that's new…'

Raven lowered her shield to launch a wave of energy, but stopped. Clone Terra was no longer there in her spot. At least, from what she was able to see in the darkness. Her demonic heritage may have helped her eyesight some, but without the beam of the flashlight from before, Raven was almost blind to her surroundings.

Raven looked around herself with her violet eyes and her empathic senses. Trying to find where the blonde geomancer had went. But she was detecting nothing with her senses at all. She couldn't even feel Beast Boy on the other side of the cave in anymore. Yet she could hear the sounds of a fight going on the other side of the wall.

'Why do we always have to get ambushed when we're separated…'

"Hahahaha…"

A laugh sounded behind her, and Raven turned to look further up the cavern through the darkness. But she couldn't see where it had came from.

"Hahahaha…"

A laugh sounded to her right, and Raven turned. Only to see she was face to face with a stalagmite.

"Hahahaha…"

The laugh came from her far left. And Raven turned that way, sending sphere after sphere of darkness out in front of her. She heard each one as it hit rock after rock after rock.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!...

After a moment, Raven stopped her barrage and looked carefully into the darkness. Her violet eyes adjusting to it bit by bit.

At first there was nothing... and then, there was an almost blinding glowing pair of yellow eyes.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!...

On instinct, Raven raised a barrier around herself at the sound coming all around her. About three dozen small rocks impacted her shield, slightly cracking it in some places, before falling to the ground around her.

Raven didn't even bother lowering her shield this time. Instead, she chose to take the energy from it to send a fist of dark energy at where Terra had been.

Pow! Kckckck...

She heard a loud impact, along with a slight shaking of the cavern, and waited a moment. No more small rocks were coming at her. And now formed a small island around her.

She dropped the remainder of the shield and looked through the darkness to see what she had hit. And saw a large boulder crushed into pieces.

But there was no Terra.

KaPow!

Before she could look around herself again, Raven was beaned in the back by another large boulder. She grunted from the impact as she was sent flying out of her small island of rocks and then rolling across the ground with pain lancing up her back. She came to a painful stop against the base of a stalagmite. Raven painfully raised her head up and saw the clone Terra's harsh blue eyes gazing at her near the wall of the cave in through the darkness.

"C'mon witch. Did you really think it would be that easy?"

Before she could reply, Raven saw the clone's eyes turn yellow again, and then heard another boulder coming her way. She tried to portal, but still couldn't.

'Why can't I portal!?'

'There's something in the Earth blocking us from opening a portal.' Knowledge said quickly.

Raven was forced to raise another shield to block Clone Terra's attack. It made a large cloud of dust as it impacted. Adding more darkness to the darkness she was in. Terra laughed in the background of the darkness.

"That trick of yours isn't going to work this time Rae Rae." Terra taunted.

'Do you think it's possible that Mento warded this tunnel from portaling to?'

'I'm not so sure that it is Mento doing this. We were able to sense all the different wards in the house, but none of those same wards are in the area around usm' Wisdom spoke softly.

Raven got up off the ground to continue the fight. While she tried to figure out how her powers weren't all working.


Over on the other side of the wall. Wonder Woman was slicing the air around her. Looking like a crazy loon. A heavily armed, extremely powerful and ancient, bitch crazy loon.

"Why don't you try to fight like an actual man instead of hiding in such a small form!?" She shouted at the air.

At first glance, you would probably think she had dementia.

Up close though, you would see a green dot buzzing around her. Flying right by each strike of her steel sword. Using the air from each swipe to propel itself from one area to another.

'Ah, the advantages of being a fly.'

Swish!

'So hard to hit.'

Slash!

'So easy to fly.'

Swoosh!

'Come at me bitch. You couldn't hit me if you-'

WHACK!

Beast Boy the fly went flying through the air after being hit by Wonder Woman's shield. His body automatically transformed back into himself a second after he was hit. He crash landed into a pile of stalagmites, which had luckily had the sharp ends cut off when Wonder Woman had been swinging her sword.

'I'm sorry master. But I believe she did hit us there.' The Beast said humorlessly inside his mind.

'No **** sherlock!' Beast Boy sarcastically thought as he rubbed his aching back.

"Ahhhhhhhhh!"

Beast Boy looked up at the sound of the shout. And saw Wonder Woman in the air above and in front of him. Her sword arched down to stab him through the chest.

"Eep!"

Beast Boy transformed into a mouse. And the sword sunk into the rock just to the right of him by his tail. He scurried away from the sword.

'Hey Beast! It's the Sword in the Stone!' Beast Boy joked as he scurried away.

Bam!

The powerful shield slammed down in front of him into the rock, making him squeak in fright.

'Master, please focus on the enemy right now and not those humorless phrases. I know I said to lay back the serious part a bit. But this is getting ridiculous!'

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Beast Boy scurried around in fright as Wonder Woman tried to flatten him with her shield. Whilst trying to pull her sword back out of the boulder.

'Um, what the hell should I do dude!'

'How about you turn into something big and dangerous and fight back!'

Bam! Bam!

'Oh… okay, how about this then…'

Wonder Woman lined up her aim, and brought her shield down on the green mouse.

BaChomp!

Or, as she saw, right into the jaws of a twelve foot long, very green, and very angry looking alligator.

Wonder Woman went wide eyed, as Beast Boy with his massive jaw strength lifted her by her shield arm up into the air, also pulling the sword she was gripping out of the ground, before he sharply turned his head to the right. This caused Wonder Woman to lose her shield as she flew through the air and hit the wall. She fell and hit the ground below the new indent in the wall.

'Alright Wonder bitch! See how you like this!'

CHOMP! CRACK!

Beast Boy chomped down on the metal shield with his large mouth... and his back tooth cracked… guess he didn't realize it was strong enough to take a hit from a radioactive Kryptonian monster.

Beast Boy's crocodile eyes widened, and he spat the shield out into the darkness from the scream of pain the he let out as a crocodile.

'Ow! Ow! Ow! What the hell is that thing made of! Titanium!' Beast Boy thought in pain. His long tongue was going over his cracked tooth over and over again, trying to sooth it.

'Um, master.'

Wonder Woman got up from off the ground. And looked around for her shield. Only, she didn't see it. She looked to Beast Boy, her blue eyes blazing with lightning in her irises.

"That was a gift from Athena herself!" She shouted in an enraged tone.

The alligator gulped in sudden fear. 'That was slightly better master, but I think you might have just pissed her off even more.'

Beast Boy turned back into his normal form. "Uh… sorry?" Beast Boy said while raising his two hands nervously.

Now gripping the sword of Athena with both hands, Wonder Woman charged at the changeling again, her sword back and ready to slice. "You will die changeling!"

Beast Boy went wide eyed, and then turned around and instantly turned into a panther to high tail it between a pair of stalagmites.

"Come back here and fight you green coward!" Wonder Woman shouted in rage as she chased after the scared changeling.


Raven raised a shield behind herself, blocking another large boulder. Then she sent a fist of energy to the right, hitting a boulder out of the air. She levitated up into the air after that, dodging a wave of rock that was sent at her. Then she finished by trying to send the boulder that tried to hit her in the back at where she thought Terra was.

Krkrkrk!

It missed, hitting part of the cavern, again.

"Ugh…"

Raven groaned to herself, again.

Pow!

And then a boulder hit her in the back... of her head. Thankfully not again.

Raven fell back down to the rocky ground, gripping the back of her head. She hissed between her teeth as she brought one of the hand to her face. It wasn't covered in blood at least. Still, she had to try hard to keep her growing pain and anger at bay.

'What the heck! I just can't hit this bitch!' Raven thought to herself.

A laugh sounded somewhere from the darkness around her. "Don't tell me you're down already Rae. I mean c'mon, you took down a demonic overlord three to four weeks ago. Has running away with that green pet of yours made you soft?" The voice, an exact replica of the original, taunted from the darkness.

'Let me at her! Let me at her! Let me get the **** at her!' Rage shouted inside Raven's mind. Raven's eyes briefly flashed red, and she could have sworn for a second that the cave came into better focus, but then she shook her head and the red cleared away.

'You remember what happened the last time I let you out against her Rage?' Raven thought to herself as she raised another black ethereal shield to block what looked like a large rocky fist that she heard coming from her right.

'I don't care! Just let me at her! I promise to leave her alive as we dissect her organs!' Rage shouted in an enraged tone.

'... Tempting. But no.'

Raven moved the shield forward, turning it into a tidal wave of dark energy. All the stalagmites in its path on the ground were obliterated. And even a few low hanging stalactites were caught in the six foot tall wave.

Kckckckck!

But again, Raven didn't sense it or hear it making contact with her target. She only heard the cavern shake and little more.

Raven growled to herself in frustration. A stalactite behind her was shrouded in black and destroyed.

'I need to figure out how she is dodging all of my attacks!? At this rate, I'm going to tire myself out before I ever land a hit on her!' Raven thought.

'We might have an idea on that Raven.' Knowledge spoke at last.

Raven again tried to form a portal on the ground beneath her, but nothing happened again. She gritted her teeth at that and instead cocked her arm back.

'Then what is it?' Raven thought. Before she used a black ethereal fist to smash the boulder coming at her into pieces.

'Superboy did say before that he wasn't sure if this Terra was purely made from her own DNA, or if it was mixed with someone else's. So if she's dodging our attacks so easily, and if it's impossible for us to use some of our abilities against her, wouldn't we have to conclude that this Terra has a few extra powers from whatever DNA was made to create her?' Knowledge asked.

Raven had to think on it. There was a lull in the battle. 'Wait… new powers... I'm freaking stupid! I shouldn't be using the rocks at all to fight her! If she came out of the wall, then she an absorb her body into rock now!... That also has to be how she's dodging all my other magical attacks! She's absorbing herself into the rock to appear anywhere she wants out of the way of where I'm aiming!'

'That… actually makes sense.' Rage was the one to say this time.

'That would indeed hinder our ways to fight her. Especially since she can appear wherever she wants and we can't.' Wisdom spoke.

'But if she's able to do all that now, how is she managing to keep me from portaling? And how is she blocking out my empathic senses? I still can't sense Beast Boy on the other side of the cave in.'

Pitter patter...

Before she could receive an answer, Raven heard the bits of rock she had just destroyed float off the ground behind her, and she instantly raised her shield again behind her to block them. But then a rock fist came out of the ground beneath her, and Raven was to slow to react to the sudden changem

Crunch!

The fist hit her in the face, and Raven was sent flying back into the caved in area. Barely missing a pair of stalagmites by the wall of the cave in on the ground. She groaned in pain as a pair of boots clacked against the ground coming towards her.

"And now it is time for the boss battle." Terra said flatly.


On the other side, Beast Boy the panther ran right between a pair of stalagmites about a hundred feet from the cave in. A second after that, the stalagmites were cut away by an irate Wonder Woman, who continued after him.

Beast Boy turned to the right and ran under a pair of boulders after that. And Wonder Woman vaulted the boulders before almost slicing him on his back leg when she hit the ground.

Beast Boy turned a little to the left then, and Wonder Woman continued right behind him. Behind the cave in, he heard silence, and that left a foreboding feeling fill him.

'Master, is there any reason why you're trying to run away from her now? When our mate could possibly be in grave danger!' The Beast asked in an angered tone.

'That statement I said earlier. It gave me an idea. If I can just fool her into thinking I'm running…'

Beast Boy jumped onto a boulder, and Wonder Woman quickly tried to slash him. But he jumped from it just in time, his green tail barely missed being cut off as the side of the boulder he had been on went tumbling to the ground. He landed on another boulder close to the wall.

Wonder Woman angrily approached. 'Just a little more.'

He jumped from that one just before Wonder Woman sliced it in half. And then he was on the wall, his body facing Wonder Woman. A pair of stalactites above him kept him from fleeing that way, as well as a pair of stalagmites on either side of him.

Wonder Woman grinned smugly.

"You have nowhere to run now." She said coldly.

Beast Boy morphed back into himself. His hands up in defense. "Wait, before you try to kill me, may I try one last thing? It's something I've always wanted to do."

Wonder Woman wanted to get it over with. But then thought, what the hell. He's already trapped, and he was far weaker than her.

"Alright then changeling, what is it?"

Beast Boy didn't answer, instead, he turned into a four legged, long necked mammal. The same one, in fact, he had turned into once to carry Cyborg on a rocky bridge inside Nevermore. Wonder Woman instantly became confused at the sight of it.

He had just turned into… a... llama?

"What does a Llama have to do with-"

PFFFFFPTH!

Wonder Woman stopped speaking. Too shocked to say anything really after what Beast Boy had just done. You see, when llamas feel threatened, they have a very specific defense mechanism that activates. Their stomachs regurgitate some of the nastiest, most vile things it can find. Makes it to travel up the long neck of the llama.

And then onto the person who had been threatening it.

Wonder Woman suddenly found herself covered in a dark green, vile looking, and smelling substance. A reminder for her of what had only happened just two days ago. Beast Boy morphed back into himself, having to hold back tears of laughter. As well as gags of disgust at the taste left in his throat.

"I've always wanted to spit on a villain! So if I'm about to die, I wanted to make at least one dream come true!" Beast Boy said with laughter in his voice.

Inside his mind, despite the seriousness of the situation, the Beast was howling with laughter.

'Okay! At least now I know that when we die, we'll have deserved it!'

Wonder Woman's face became absolutely enraged. "YOU WILL DIE!" She screamed like a banshee, before she jumped forward, her sword ready to pierce Beast Boy. Llama spit dripping off her features.

Time slowed as the blade approached. 'Who says we're going to die?'

And then he morphed, becoming a small house fly again. Hovering directly over the blade.

Kssch!

The blade sunk all the way to the hilt into the rock.

'Now. It is time to get serious Beast.'

Beast Boy suddenly morphed into a gorilla, and before Wonder Woman could react, she was punched hard in the face. Her hands left the sword hilt deep into the rock as she flew back through the air and into a boulder.

Beast Boy roared as he ran on all fours after his now unarmed opponent. Wonder Woman instantly got up from the hit and raised her hand to swipe her sword in front of her in defense… only for her to realize she was no longer holding it.

Wham!

The gorilla punched her again with its large hairy fist, sending her out farther into the darkness towards the cave in wall. She landed on her feet, and looked around. She tried to find the spot in the wall where her sword had sunk in, but couldn't find it in the darkness and the maze of rocks. She looked back at the gorilla with hate. Even as it turned back into Beast Boy.

'Way to go Master. Now she has no weapon to attack us with.'

'Yeah, except for that lasso on her belt. Let's hope she doesn't try to use it on us.'

"There, now we have a fair fight between us almighty queen of the Amazons." Beast Boy said in a low tone as he got into his fighting stance. Hoping that the corrupt heroine wouldn't use her golden lasso.

Wonder Woman spat a slob of blood from her mouth. And had to wipe the stuff that had attached to her lip away with the back of her hand along with as bit of spit. "I'll admit, you do hit harder than I thought changeling. Maybe your bark isn't as worse as your bite after all… but I don't need my sword to still kill you."

Wonder Woman jumped forward through the air, now using her powers to propel herself forward. Her fist was cocked back.

Beast Boy turned into a sasquatch and roared as he charged to meet her attack head on. He also cocked his fist back.

Their fists met in the middle of the cave.

KaBoom!


Raven heard a loud sound wave on the other side of the cave in. Even as she tried to weakly keep her shield in front of her up. Terra was at the edge of her vision, using a boulder to pound on her shield over and over again.

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

The muted sound kept on repeating to her. While she tried to keep her shield up. 'Girls, any ideas for what we can do?'

'We're thinking Raven.' Knowledge replied.

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Krck...

'Will you think a little faster then? I'm a little occupied here.' Raven thought rather worriedly.

'It isn't easy to think when we're in a life or death situation leader bitch!' Rude shouted angrily.

Bam! Krck! Bam! Krrck! Bam! Krrrck!

The shield was starting to form cracks.

'Well if we don't think of something soon, then this will be life and death!'

BAM! Crack!

A long crack appeared down the middle of the black shield. And Terra raised the stone with her powers up high to deliver the finishing blow to it.

'Drop the shield!' Knowledge suddenly shouted.

Raven didn't know why, but she let the shield fall, finally revealing herself. Terra, who had just been about to send the large boulder smashing down, suddenly widened her eyes as she saw Raven drop the defense right before she sent the large boulder barreling down. Her yellow eyes glowed brighter, and the boulder started to change direction.

'Now, let her have it!'

Terra had been too busy redirecting the large boulder to see the attack coming.

Bam!

She went flying back into the air, hit hard by a dark ethereal fist. Her concentration wavered to the point where she hit the wall in a solid form.

Kckckckckck!

The boulder hit the wall behind Raven at the same time Terra slammed into a wall, causing the cavern to shake once more. Raven shakily got up after the surprise attack she had unleashed. 'Wait, why did she-'

'She needs to capture us alive Raven. That's what the programming Superboy told us about meant.' Wisdom said inside her mind.

Raven's eyes widened in realization. 'So no matter what, she can't try to kill us…'

Raven thought about what had just happened. Then about the fight overall. Even though the hits had hurt for the most part. None of them had been crippling or anything life threatening. Terra really was holding herself back against her.

Terra got up off the ground, her eyes blazing yellow with hatred. "Alright witch. I think it's about time I put you down for good." She said in a snarling tone.

Raven suddenly got it.

Even though she said it so venomously, Raven could tell that Terra didn't really mean it. She was only trying to scare her into surrendering. That had to be why her empathic senses were being blocked by her somehow. She was trying to hide what she was really feeling. Not only to dodge her attacks...

Raven looked at the walls of the cavern, her eyes now somewhat used to the darkness. She saw all the hairline cracks that had formed in it throughout their duel. Terra used her powers to attack her with the Earth, but what if she was also blocking her abilities with the Earth around her? What if she were to turn the tables on her…

Raven smirked at the geomancer. "If I'm going down, then you're going down with me." Raven stated deadpan.

Before Terra could register what Raven had meant, Raven formed a dark Astral fist, turned away from Terra, and hit the wall behind her.

BOOM!


Beast Boy had been locked with Wonder Woman, his arms on her shoulders, and her arms on his. The two had been trying to overpower the other with pure strength. Beast Boy had been in the form of a gorilla, snarling down at the woman beneath him. While she had looked up at him enraged. Also snarling up at him like some crazy warrior princess.

The fight had been at a standstill as one tried to overpower the other.

BOOM!

And then the loud boom came.

Beast Boy found himself unbalancing as the cave around him started to shake. But that turned out to be his downfall in the end.

Wonder Woman, sensing the weakness, suddenly kicked his kneecap.

Crack!

"Rooaaarrr!" Beast Boy bellowed deeply in pain. He let go of the heroine to grip his knee.

Wonder Woman lifted him up while his back feet hadn't been planted into the ground, and slammed him to her right, onto a flat patch of ground.

Bam!

Then to her left, onto a large boulder.

Boom!

Then right in front of her, onto a patch of flat rocks.

Slam!

Finally, before Beast Boy could recover, Wonder Woman kicked him through the air and into a wall.

KaBoom!

Beast Boy morphed back into himself, groaning at the amount of pain his body was feeling.

BOOM! KCKCKCK! BOOM! KCKCKCK! BOOM! KCKCKCK!

The cave continued to tremble around him. And he saw cracks appear in the ceiling above him.

'Raven… what the hell are you doing?' He thought through his pain.


"What are you doing!?" Terra shouted in an angered, yet fear filled voice.

Raven kept on sending her magic at the cave around her. Instead of trying to attack the geomancer like she had before.

Raven grunted as she used her energy to widen a crack in the roof above. Then to dislodge some of the rocks along the caved in part of the wall. Weakening the integrity of the cave with all of her might.

Terra's eyes were glowing yellow, but not to attack Raven. Instead, it was for another matter entirely.

A part of the roof started to fall in, and Terra's powers instantly caught it. It was put back into place and glued back to the Earth with some weird muddy paste, keeping the rest of the roof from coming in after it. To the right of that, Terra's powers worked on sealing the widening crack in the ceiling. While where the cave in was, she was trying to keep the rest of the Earth from falling in onto it.

In short, she was no longer trying to attack Raven. Rather, she was trying to keep them all alive.

"Are you insane!?" Terra shouted incredulously.

"Maybe." Raven deadpanned. Letting her powers go to work around her.

"This will kill you and Beast Boy! I won't die from the Earth falling on me! But you two will! Doing this will kill your innocent friend!" Terra said evilly, yet still fearfully.

Raven felt her empathic senses slowly coming back to her. She was able to clearly see Terra's raging fear now. 'Her connection to the Earth. That was what did this. That is what did all of this. She was using it to block some of my powers the whole time. But the more focus I take away from it...'

She took a step closer to the geomancer. Putting more focus and energy into countering what Terra was trying to fix. Part of the roof behind Terra that she had fixed collapsed in, and Terra almost got hit by a bunch of stalactite shards. Her powers moved to stabilizing that part of the Earth again. And then the crack that had been sealing itself split farther apart. With the ceiling starting to buckle in on itself.

"Stop it! You're not supposed to die! That isn't part of the plan!" Terra suddenly shouted fearfully. As she saw her life goal almost get crushed by another falling part of the ceiling.

KCKCKCKCKCKCK!

"No." Raven said flatly.

She could feel her powers more fully. And could almost feel the portal she wanted to develop beneath her feet… she just had to focus a little more...


KCKCKCKCK!

Beast Boy felt the cave shaking around him. He was weakly trying to get onto his knees while the Earth around him shook. A large rock fell to the ground beside him.

'Beast, what's happening?'

'I don't know master.' A stalactite from the roof fell next to Beast Boy's head. 'But every animal instinct we hold dear is saying we should probably dig through this wall, grab our mate, and run faster than a cheetah out of here before Mother Nature takes her wrath out on us.'

Beast Boy instantly agreed with the Beast, and he got up on one knee facing the wall. His other knee groaned in protest, but it wasn't dislodged. Just likely sprained. 'Alright, I'm done with this fighting gig for the day anyways. And if my hearing is right, there is five feet of rock there in the middle of the cave in. Let's turn into a-'

Unfortunately, the heroine behind him didn't agree, and he suddenly felt a golden lasso wrap around his waist as he tried to move. He struggled to get out of it instantly by trying to morph, but then he found he couldn't.

A fact came into his mind.

'Oh yeah, that was why I didn't want her to use her lasso. It's impossible to escape from it or use your powers as long as it's wrapped around you.'

'Are you kidding me! You remember that now!'

Beast Boy even tried to turn into the Beast. In the hope that it would help him escape. But it didn't work.

'There was a way people could escape from it. But what the heck was it…'

He suddenly felt himself get turned around, so he was face to face with the insane Wonder Woman. Who even with the Earth shaking and falling around her, was still focused on one thing.

Him.

She pressed her body close to his, whilst keeping him trapped. She pulled him away from the wall to the middle of the cavern.

"Well well well, look what I managed to catch today." She said in a low tone. Whilst rubbing a spit covered hand along his cheek. Beast Boy shuddered at the lingering touch.

"I would use my sword to make this quick. But since it would take me forever to find it, I think I'd rather try to tear you apart with my own hands. Don't you think that would be better?" She asked, as the hand not holding the lasso moved to tap along one of his arms.

Snap!


Raven finally felt it, that pull that comes when she wanted to use a certain power. That cold feeling she had somehow gotten used to as she at last stepped into complete darkness. Her body fell into a dark portal.

The cold consumed her for a small moment, before it faded away into the background. Suspending her in the middle of darkness. Adrift from nothing, and everything. She was entirely alone now. For nothing existed in this realm.

Theoretically, she could have stayed in there forever. Letting time pass her by as she stayed in the dark, cold, lonely darkness. She could do it, for she was darkness herself.

But though she was born from darkness. She still craved for the light.

Raven needed it just as much as everyone else she had ever known. Probably even more so, given the conflicting nature that was herself. It always seemed to draw her to it, even when she thought she wanted to shy away from its warmth.

It was the best feeling she had ever denied herself of for such a long time.

She saw the faces of her friends pass by. Wonderful people who had always had an attachment for the light.

Memories of Robin, Cyborg, and Starfire came to her mind. Of the times when they had all been together. Helping each other through the dark times they had all shared.

Slade.

Blackfire.

Brother Blood.

She had helped them to get through their dark times. Just like they had helped her to get through hers.

Trigon.

Right before they had been made evil. And they lost their connection to the light.

Then she saw Beast Boy.

He had been there too. He had always been there for her. Even when she had tried to push him away, he still came back willing to help.

She never had to push the others away, since they had always kept their space. He was the one though who pushed back. Breaking through the walls that she had built around herself to keep the others away from her darkness.

He might have been ordered to stay with her, but he did it willingly. Raven didn't know what would have happened to her if he hadn't been around. But he was there, still trying in his own way to protect her.

And right now, he was in trouble. He was facing his own dark times. He was the one who needed help.

She needed to help him.

The darkness had a light, and Raven stepped towards it. Renewed determination filling her veins.

Her cloak and hood turned from its dark blue to a pure white. Her violet hair lengthened on her head. And fresh energy coursed through her body. As all her emoticlones inside her combined into one with their desires.

Raven.

'Woo! Let's kick some blonde ass!' Rude shouted.

'Let's show that blonde bitch what we're made of!' Rage bellowed.

'For BB!' Happy shouted.

'For Garfield.' Timid added quietly.

'For some serious much needed butt kicking!' Brave yelled courageously.

'To get back to our peaceful downtime.' Sloth moaned out.

'Let's save our crush.' Affection said determinedly.

In Nevermore, as all the emoticlones hands, including Rage's, combined into one for the first time, all of them raised their heads skyward. A pink blast of light erupted from them, and formed in the air above them. Much of that light came from Affection and Rage. Both of whom let out sighs of relief as their psyches finally stabilized.

One last emoticlone in Nevermore floated out of the pink light. She settled onto the ground between Rage and Affection. And then she added her hand to theirs, adding her powers to the throng. Thus truly completing Raven.

'Let us save our man.' Lust in her pink cloak spoke at last.

Raven nodded to herself. Everyone was truly with her now. None of the other emoticlones acted surprised to see their lost sister finally join them.

'Let us finish this.'

Raven stepped into the light, letting it consume her.


KCKCKCK!

Raven emerged from her white portal behind Terra. Her eyes blazing white with her power. Only one second had passed in the real world.

Terra had been focused on fixing the ceiling, trying to keep it from collapsing. She didn't realize what had just happened. She didn't realize just how outclassed she had become. She didn't realize that her life's purpose was no longer in her reach.

She never had a chance to realize what she was about happen.

Boom!

Terra was hit by a large white sphere of energy. Her eyes widened in shock as she was sent flying away down the cave.

Raven lowered her fist, white light coming off her form like a star. Lighting up the darkness of the cave around her.

She advanced silently over the ground as she came closer and closer to the groaning Terra.

Kckckckck!

Whilst the Earth continued to heave around them all.


Crack!

"Yeow!" Beast Boy screamed in pain as he felt his arm receive another fracture.

Wonder Woman dropped his limp right arm, looking down at him with disgust. She had only caused five different fractures to his arm, and he was already snoveling in his chain before her. Tears fell freely from his green eyes.

Kckckckck!

The cave still shook around them. Pieces of rock fell to the ground here and there.

"Face me coward!" She shouted down at him.

He whimpered from the pain. Wonder Woman punched him in the face, causing him to fall back and almost scream as he felt his broken tooth jar around in his mouth. He coughed up blood onto his face.

She lifted him back up by the collar of his uniform, making him have to look into her eyes. Her angry, enraged eyes.

"You have been on the run long enough. It is time to end you before you take any more lives. Say goodbye to this world changeling." She said in a quiet, reserved tone to him. She cocked her fist back to punch through his face.

Beast Boy's eyes widened. 'Wait! The golden lasso! She uses it on villains, who can't get out of it unless they…' "Wait!" He shouted painfully.

Wonder Woman's fist stopped in front of his face. Her eyes were still angry, yet slightly amused at his submissiveness.

"Does the poor animal not want to die?" Wonder Woman said in a teasing tone.

But it was still a question.

Beast Boy answered immediately. "No. I don't want to die. There is too much I want to do with my life. I want to enjoy my teenage years. I want to face more lamo villains. I want to beat the new Super Mega Monkeys X when it comes out this October. And so many other things." He answered honestly.

Wonder Woman raised her eyebrows at that. "That wasn't what I was meaning…" She said in a suddenly unsure voice.

"Then what did you mean?" Beast Boy asked.

Wonder Woman instantly answered against her will. "Why would you want to live, after all the evil you've done to the universe?"

She covered her mouth after she said that. 'What is going on with me!' It was like her mind was suddenly fighting a vicious battle with itself.

Kckckckck!

The cave still shook around them.

"That's the thing Diana." Beast Boy called her by name. "I haven't done any evil to the universe."

"No, lies!" Wonder Woman painfully shouted. She gripped her head with both hands.

The lasso loosened around Beast Boy, yet he continued to speak. His voice growing stronger and stronger with confidence and sound.

"I was on Earth the day Trigon came. I was there with my team, my family as I watched him rise."

"No! You were at the heads of his armies! You were in this vile form, mutilating the heads of the little kids that I tried to protect!" Wonder Woman shouted. Yet her mind was rejecting what she had just said.

"No! I was on Earth! Facing off against my evil self with my teammates as my leader went into hell! Just so he could save Raven and help her to face her father together!" Beast Boy shouted in a sure voice.

The lasso had let go of him then. But he didn't move to flee. Wonder Woman looked up at him, her eyes enraged, yet in pain.

"Why?! You two are the villains! Why would your old teammates ever help them after you betrayed them!" She shouted unsurely.

It was then that Beast Boy saw the glazed over look in her eyes. The same one that had been in Artemis's. 'She isn't the one in control.'

Beast Boy chuckled.

Kckckckck!

The Earth shook.

Who knew what had happened to Raven now.

"We're not the villains Diana… you are."

KCKCKCKCK!

The Earth fell around him. And Beast Boy closed his eyes.

Shove!

Boom!


Terra's boulder was destroyed in mid air right in front of her. Causing her to be thrown back again into a wall.

Kckckckck!

Terra forced the pain from her mind to look up in front of her. At the demoness who was barely breaking a sweat as she absolutely mauled her.

Terra tried to sink into the rock beneath her again to sneak up on Raven. When a white ethereal hand grabbed her by the neck before she fully disappeared and dragged her back out.

"Not this time bitch." Raven deadpanned.

Swoosh!

Terra heard something behind her, and then felt something solid smack into the back of her skull.

Bam!

"OW!" Terra screamed in pain. The hand dropped her back onto the ground. She let her hand touch the back of her head, it was sticky.

Terra screamed in rage as she tried to launch several boulders at the pure demoness. But again, one sphere of energy came from her hands and launched forward.

Boom!

A large cloud of choking dust formed in front of Terra. She coughed as she tried to peer forward into it. She saw the white light approaching through it, and prepared to face it.

Bam!

She was hit in the side of the head. By a solid pale hand. She turned away from the pain. And a solid kick to the sensitive part of the back of her skull sent her rolling across the ground. Coughing on the dust in the air.

Raven merely brushed a bit of dust from her cloak as she continued her punishment on the cloned geomancer. Her face as flat as her empathy for the evil blonde.


Beast Boy groaned, and then coughed, before he opened his green eyes. The dust in the air around him was heavy, almost making it impossible for him to see. He felt pain coursing through his right arm, and from the tooth in his mouth. But other than that, he was actually… fine.

'We're… still alive?'

Beast Boy lifted himself up off the pebble strewn ground with his one good arm. The cave around him was no longer shaking, though he could hear tremors in the rock that indicated a battle going on. Or that the Earth was preparing to unleash its next wave of fury. It was most likely the latter.

'But the Earth was coming down on us. How did we…'

Wait. He felt a place on his chest. Where a pair of hands had pushed into him, before…

"Wonder Woman! Diana!" Beast Boy shouted to the darkness.

"(Cough)… (cough)…" It was faint, but he heard it. He scrambled forward on his two legs, gripping his arm to keep it from moving. He stumbled through the darkness, until he was face to face with a new wall of rock. He looked up, seeing the whole roof had caved in there.

"Diana?" Beast Boy called.

"Down… here…" He heard a shaky weak voice say.

He bent down in the darkness, and then he finally saw her head staring up at him. She was at the bottom of the pile. Her black locks were coated in dust, her face scratched up from the rocks beneath her. The rest of her body from the neck down was buried in the rubble of the cave.

But her eyes were a clear blue. No longer angry, or enraged, just… sad.

"You saved me." Beast Boy said.

"(Cough) Yes." Wonder Woman replied.

Krkr…

The cave gave a weak shake.

"Why?" Beast Boy asked.

Wonder Woman coughed again. "Because, you have managed… to save me, Beast Boy. You managed to… remind me about what I stood for… and you banished... that vile (cough)… vile presence that filled my mind with lies… it… is gone at (cough)." The rest of her sentence was drowned out by her coughing.

"Here. I'll dig you out of there. Then we can-" Beast Boy started to say.

"No. (Cough) No time. This cave is going to collapse in on itself… long before I'm free… I remember that much… from the person who whispered to my mind… it was in his words, getting rid of two pawns with one (cough) stone." Wonder Woman said sadly.

"Diana…"

Krkrkrkrk…

The cave groaned more loudly.

"Beast Boy. I need you to do something." Wonder Woman said.

"But… but…"

'Master. There is no helping her now. Please listen to her.'

"Alright." Beast Boy said.

"I need you… to get out of here. Protect the dem- Raven, from the rest of us… that vile thing will stop at nothing to get her… and if he does… (cough) (cough) just please. Keep her safe."

Beast Boy sighed. "But what about you?"

Wonder Woman finally smiled. "I will survive. Just as I always have… and if I don't, I think I've had my fill of time anyways… a couple centuries is a long time to live with the kind of work I had… no one should be a superhero forever..."

Krkrkrkrkrk!

Beast Boy got up. "I'm sorry Diana." He said sadly to her.

"Don't be, Garfield Mark Logan. You reminded me who I was. And helped me to regain control of my mind... You might be labeled a villain to the others… but to me, you are a hero." Wonder Woman said.

Then her eyes rolled into her head, and she passed out on the ground.

Beast Boy looked down at her for one last second. Almost imprinting the image of the superhero burrowed into the rocks. It was almost like he was looking at her grave in his mind. Not of the mad woman who had stood in front of his cage, shocking him over and over. But of the true heroine she was.

'I will make this right. I will continue to do what you said Diana. I will protect Raven with all I have...' He clenched his left hand. 'And I will find the person who did this to you, to the rest of the Justice League, and I will bring him or her to justice!'

'Awhoooooooooooooooo!' The Beast howled inside his mind.

Beast Boy turned away from the fallen hero, and ran towards the caved in wall. Keeping a firm grip on his arm as he ran forward. He aimed for the center part of it.

Krkrkrkrkr!

The cave collapsed behind him. Blocking Wonder Woman from view. But his now cat like eyes focused only on the rocks.

'Alright Beast. It's your turn.'

Just before Beast Boy plowed into the rock. His pupils vanished, to leave his eyes completely white. The rest of the transformation only took a second.

And then the Beast plowed it's left shoulder into the cave in.

BOOM!


Terra was on her knees, looking worse for wear. Scratch marks all over her face, neck, and other parts of her body. Her perfect uniform from before was torn and bloodied. And she was missing a couple teeth.

Standing in front of her was Raven. Still in her white cloak, still emitting her white light off her frame, and staring down at Terra with the same emotionless violet eyes. Terra growled. Her powers, what she had the energy left to use, were still trying to hold the ceiling up above them.

"You are beaten." Raven said flatly.

It wasn't a statement. It was a fact.

"Fine then demoness. I'm beaten now. What are you going to do with me? Kill me." Terra said in a harsh mocking voice.

Raven stared down hard at the clone of the girl she had most hated before. The one who had betrayed her trust when she had given it to her before. The one who had tried to kill her and her friends. The one who had broken Beast Boy's heart… and almost killed him... her Rage wanted to end this girl. This reminder of what she had hated before.

Her white powers picked up a stalagmite from off the ground. And Terra's eyes widened as she saw it. Raven looked down hard at the clone, her powers lifting the stalagmite high over her head.

"I could kill you." She stated.

Terra closed her eyes.

Thunk!

Then she opened them, to see the stalagmite sticking out of the ground in front of her.

Raven turned around, her cloak already fading away from white back to its original blue. "But that isn't me… You may be a clone of the person I hated. But you do not represent who she was anymore than my emoticlones represent me. I have forgiven Terra long ago for what she did. And I will not kill you for looking like her." Raven said in a flat voice.

Terra gawked for a moment, and then she started to laugh. "You don't have the guts to kill me! Ha! I represent all that you hate, and yet you still refuse to kill me! You really are weak daughter of Trigon!" The clone shouted in an insane voice.

Raven didn't look back. She started to walk away from the beaten girl.

"What are you waiting for!? Kill me you fool!" Terra shouted behind her.

Raven didn't look back. She only walked towards the beginning of the cavern. Sensing Beast Boy as he blasted through the wall and came running towards her.

"Kill me!" Terra shouted again.

The Beast came limping around the corner. Holding one of its arms to itself. Raven let out a small smile at the sight of it.

"You're okay." She whispered to the Beast.

"KILL ME!" Terra screamed.

Krkrkrkrkrk…

The cave in their section started to shake. While the section behind the corner caved in.

Raven felt the Beast's fur on its head. And it leaned its head into her touch. Taking in the scent of its mate. Raven looked back to the beaten Terra then.

"Goodbye Terra."

A black raven enveloped the two, and then it spread it's wings before it flew over Terra's head back down the cavern away from the fight.

Terra stared in shock after the fleeing Raven. Her butt fell back onto the ground, and then a she was on her back, facing the ceiling.

'I… failed…'

KRKRKRKRKRK!

A stalactite fell off the ceiling above her, heading down to her prone form.

Terra closed her eyes. And let her powers go.

Time slowed down around her.

'I am a clone… of course I could never take her place…'

'Daughter! What are you doing!'

'What I should have done long ago… I am worthless as a clone... as your child... it's better for everyone if I don't exist anymore'

'No! You're not supposed to die! You're supposed to capture her for me, and then-'

KRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRK...

The stalactite went through her chest. A smile settled onto her face. The voice of her father had finally disappeared. Her evil, chaotic father.

And then the rest of the cave fell down all around her. Burying her body deep into it's depths. Never to be found again.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
