"Ugh!!! DUDE!!!! This was supposed to be a relaxing period without Robin's rules, his make outs, his trainings, and battles!!!"

Bb cried as the alarm ringed off once more just as the Titans got home from a battle with a mechanized man who had a force of a million and seventy men as he so much cried out showing off. He had been enduring but after a Beastboy Blitz with and some of Raven's magic combined, the Titans finally defeated him with a cry of 'Booya!'

Before that they had battled Plasmius, Mumbo Jumbo, Mad Mod, and a whining Kitten... so yeah, they're cranky...

"Shut up Beastboy and get back in the T-Car! Oh! That's right... THERE IS NO T-CAR!!!"

Shouted an irritated migraine induced Raven while blowing a few light bulbs and the fridge apart. She stomped over to the computer to research on who it was and where he was. After typing a few words some info came onto the screen.

Trouble: Terrorized Citizens

Cause: Un-identified object

Location: Central Jump City

Amount: 1

Status: Unmoving, producing deafening sounds

Raven stared at the screen. Unmoving, producing deafening sounds flashed at her. This could either mean something small, or something bad, something really bad. Raven typed in the code to the city's Central Bank's camera only to find it had been destroyed or mingled with. Then she knew it was something bad.

She rubbed her temples and drew out of nowhere some pills. After swallowing a pair she calmly said,

"Titans, go..."

The Titans flew out the window as they saw no reason to run downstairs. Raven used her powers to levitate herself along with Cyborg and Beastboy morphed into a green eagle and so they flew away into the city.

When they reached Central Jump City they saw people writhing with pain while covering their ears. At first the titans were confused but as they approached the scene they immediately understood why they weren't running away.

Beastboy collapsed even before getting to the ground as a sharp noise filled his ears. It being even sharper to him than the others thanks to his animal hearing. He covered his ears regretting the decision of cleaning them out that morning. (out of boredom)

Raven saw this and understood so she levitated him to the top of a building a few blocks away. Beastboy after a few shaky breaths gave Raven a thumbs up to signal he was ok and his thanks as he held his pounding head. Cyborg, also being vulnerable to loud noises and more too shrill ones retreated a few steps and called to Raven.

"Yo Raven! I can't any closer or my system will crash!" He shouted over the noise of screams. Raven nodded and created a shield around her head to lower the volume to the wailing.

She looked around and walked forward to find the source of the noise only to find a small squared box that looked no bigger than her foot. She looked at it in confusion it was just a small music box with an imprinted A on it with a pattern of swirls and stars along the border.

How could such a small object produce such a big noise? Raven knew better than to let her guard down for both great things come in small packages, and some small things have big voices and were big trouble.

She used her magic to surround the small squared object but she could feel how her magic was breaking from the force of the waves of the noise. She removed the shield from around her head and turned. People were starting to react and quickly moved away. Raven looked at Cyborg who understood that it was his job to find out what it was.

From the point where she stood, she could see Beastboy flying off the roof to the top of the Bank which was in front of the cube, but she could not try to focus on something else for her power was breaking.

"Cyborg go back! Beastboy fly!" She cried as her magic failed and broke. Exploding in waves of sound.

She was thrown back into Cyborg from the force. Seeing Cyborg flash on and off she produced another shield and headed backwards.

"What is it?" asked Cyborg as he checked his systems.

"I don't know. It looks like a music box but smaller" Raven replied. "I'll try to get it back into my force field but it won't last too long."

"Shouldn't we just destroy it?"

"No, believe me. Something worse could come out"

She then flew towards the small object and encircled it with her magic. She quickly transported it to Cyborg who examined it with his programs.

"It's just a music box!" he exclaimed more to himself than to Raven, surprised at what was causing all the trouble.

Suddenly they heard another sound, something like an elephant's call. But where the heck could an elephant be...? there weren't any zoos nearby. That's when it dawned to them as the saw a small shadow above the box growing bigger by the second.

"Beastboy! NO!!!"

They both cried as an elephant came plummeting down on the 'music box' since Raven's already weak shield couldn't resist the weight. A few seconds passed and nothing happened so Beastboy morphed back into his normal self and cried out...

"Yeah!! We defeated it! Now we can go home!" He started to get up to do his victory dance when he felt something pushing him off the now broken shrilling box.

Beastboy screamed as a blue force threw him into a nearby building. Cyborg quickly ran to his best friend to see if he was ok, but Raven stared at the blue force, frozen, enchanted... She was mesmerized by the light encircling the shattered box.

There the light from within the box was taking shape.

Suddenly the shattered pieces flew to the top of it to form a face of a smiling man with bulging red eyes and two slits as a nose. It then started forming its body, something resembling a Shoaling warrior with three arms and two swords along with no legs but part of a snake as the rest of the body, on its back two bat wings sprouted and the creature's third arm became a second head that looked exactly like a snake as it hissed at her.

After its body was formed the creature bellowed an earsplitting roar then as it saw Raven lying there in front of him unmoving and surprised it cackled and evil laughter and charged towards her laughing all the way...

So what do you think is it a good beginning? I know I haven't entered my baby but he is soon to come so don't get impatient. XD HER baby, I don't own Aliel...
