Robin's POV
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
I know it had been hours ago that the comment was made, but I was still just as embarrassed as if it had just been said. It was the most awkward situation of my entire life! Things probably wouldn't be so hard if I could just admit how I feel. But, I'm a guy, so that won't be happening any time soon. I decided to distract myself by doing some Slade research.

Slade's POV
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
That's right my little Robin. Keep your mind on me. I laugh quietly as I see that the plan that I'm taking the credit for is unfolding exactly as I say I planned… and you can't prove that I didn't do all this!
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Starfire's POV
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
I decided to take another approach to attract friend Robin's attention. I was in my room. I couldn't stand him being obsessed with bastard Slade! Why can't he obsess over me like that freak of the nature with a mask? Maybe if I did something extreme. I know! I'll commit a crime!

Cyborg's POV
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
I had just fixed the GameStation and gotten over all the shocks of the day when the weirdest thing yet happened. I was walking down the hall, but stopped in my tracks when I saw Starfire. She was flying down the hall, laughing maniacally like some of our more comedic villains.
"Uh, Star, what ya' up to?" I asked with my real eye twitching slightly.
"Oh, friend Cyborg! I have had the idea of wonderfulness!" she replied, virtually dancing in the air.
"And… " I began. "What might that be?"
"I shall do the committing of a minor crime!"
"Uhhhhhhhhh… why?"
"I want to gain the degree of attention from friend Robin that he gives to bastard Slade" she said with a massive smile on her face, growing even wider when she referred to Slade as 'bastard Slade'.
"You do that then" I said walking away. She probably wouldn't go through with it, but when she flew past me, continuing her maniacal laughter, I wasn't so sure anymore.

BB's POV
BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB
I'm not sure what it was, but I heard a sound. It was far too quiet for those with normal hearing to have noticed, but I had… just barely. Raven had said something at the same time as the sound and was about to speak again. I placed my hand over her mouth, swiftly but softly. The last thing I needed was to hurt her and get her yelling.
I continued to listen, the two of us sitting in one position for what seemed like hours, but was probably only a minute or two. Then, there it was again. Plus, since I wasn't distracted by Raven, I could make it out perfectly. It was a scraping sound. I turned to Raven and slowly removed my hand from her mouth, but quickly did the single fingered shushing signal. She nodded in understanding. I quickly leaned right up to her ear and began to speak quickly.
"I'm gonna go out there and try to lure them out into the open. I want you to keep me covered and play that song when they're all in position."
"But, what if one of them shrieks at you?" she asked, causing me to remember that their shriek can paralyze… but apparently not Raven.
"I don't know" was all I could think of saying. I really didn't have a solution for this little problem.
"I'll use my powers to filter out certain sounds. You'll be able to hear everything but the shrieks. I think that you should be fine then."
I nodded and she placed her hands on each of my ears and quickly and quietly chanted her mantra; "Azarath Metrion Zynthos." Small sparks flew from the tips of her fingers to the tips of my ears. I could only hope it would work. I just gotta trust Raven. She's yet to let me down so far.
I slowly moved into the gate of the graveyard. I had no idea of how to lure out the ReDeads, so I just walked around for a bit. When that didn't seem to be working, I began to run, but suddenly felt something wrap around my ankle and I fell forward. I was lucky enough that my fall was broken by my face.
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Raven's POV
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
At first, everything was perfectly obvious. Beast Boy was walking around the graveyard, probably hoping that he'd piss off the zombies with his presence. But, when he noticed that wasn't working, he began to run all over the place in a seemingly drunken pattern. It took nearly all my will power not to burst out laughing.
I just couldn't, however, hold it in anymore when he suddenly fell smack on his face. I didn't burst into psychotic laughter like Beast Boy and Cyborg tend to, just a quiet reserved laughter that most wouldn't even notice. This accompanied the word "Typical" to represent how… well… typical the situation was.
"And, you pick NOW to laugh!" shouted Beast Boy, trying to pull his leg away from whatever had caused him to trip.
I suddenly stopped and returned my face to its normal blank and floated over to where he was. I was about to smirk down on him when my mouth dropped open. His leg was in the grip of a rotting hand.

Raven got an expression of pure disgust on her face as she raised her foot into the air. She brought it down with such force that I flinched slightly as the hand gripping my ankle was completely obliterated by her slightly pointed boot.
I quickly leapt to my feet and thanked Raven who nodded and flew back to her post. I began to move more carefully again. Nothing seemed to happen for about half a minute, then arms and heads began to burst from the ground at random locations. Many of the hands almost grabbed me, but I avoided them with the agility that I had gained through practice in my animal forms.
Within a minute of the process beginning, their were nearly fifty ReDeads. I could tell that they were all trying to stun me with their screams, but I couldn't hear any of them. I silently thanked Raven and began to get them to follow me, getting them into a more open space as to take care of them with greater ease.
I was through the graveyard gate, as were nearly half of the ReDeads. I turned my attention to Raven and shouted "Play it now!"

Raven's POV
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
I nodded briefly to the shout. I wasn't about to screw up the only thing that I could do to help with the battle. After all, my powers are useless against this kind of creature. I brought the ocarina to my mouth and played the 'Sun's Song' and sighed with relief when I heard the sound of the zombies' molecules being forcefully contained in a holy shield.

BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB
After hearing the song and seeing the ReDeads freeze, I began to run from one to the other, removing heads and any other limbs I ran across. I wanted to get as much done as possible with the limited time I had been granted. If I couldn't kill them all while they were frozen, I could at least kill some and cripple the others.
I was doing quite well, if I do say so myself. I had killed… is that really the right word for this situation… more than ten of them and had removed limbs from at least fifteen others. But, of course, no streak of good fortune can ever last with me. I was suddenly grabbed by multiple hands bursting from the ground beneath my feet… right in the middle of the already present zombies.
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Raven's POV
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
It nearly shocked me out of my skin. Beast Boy had been doing so well, but then… I was in such a state of horror that I dropped the ocarina. Regaining control of my body, I lowered myself to the ground to retrieve it, but was grabbed by multiple hands myself. There hadn't been any chance to dodge. One second I was fine… more or less… and the next, I'm in the grip of a baker's dozen's worth of zombified hands!
I struggled with all my strength. I have to escape and save Beast Boy! He needs me! I was panicking but felt myself calm when I heard a quiet melody. It was beautiful and haunting. It took away all my nerves.
Then, I heard the voice. "Darkness will never overcome true darkness."
"But, what do I do?" I asked, feeling like a child.
"You may be victorious."
"How?"
"I shall grant you my power of the sacred flame. Feel the righteous fury, and release it!"
I felt myself quickly returning to reality, still in the grasp of these zombies. I still remembered what the voice had said; 'righteous fury'. I can do that! I learned how to when I had to use Starfire's powers! I focused on the desired emotion and was about to release it when I heard an inhuman shriek of rage.
I forced my eyes open and did a quick scan of the graveyard, and I ceased to have trouble keeping my eyes open when they shot open in surprise. Beast Boy was nowhere to be found, instead there was some strange… green… beast tearing up the zombies around it. It was able to take out three at a time, without even the slightest noticeable strain. It was amazing… and terrifying all at the same time.
I just stared in stunned silence as zombie after zombie fell before the might of this beast. Then suddenly, realization struck! "Beast Boy!"
I returned to focusing on my righteous fury but didn't get the chance to do anything. I just assumed that Beast Boy would need my help… but, was I ever wrong! Before I knew it, the hands that had been holding me were slaughtered one by one… or more like four by four!
As soon as I was freed, I fell to my knees attempting to get my breath. I hadn't even realized that I was being suffocated until I was free!
For a split second, my eyes and the feral ones of the beast met and I saw all the fear and confusion that they embodied. The strength of this beast was entirely supported by Beast Boy's own weaknesses. I guess we have more in common than I thought. But, as if being hit by recognition, the beast suddenly entered a state of relative calm, and reverted to the form of Beast Boy… a completely nude Beast Boy… it's a good thing I got him more than one change of clothes!

I was exhausted. The transformation into the beast is completely different from any other of my forms. It required far more energy to enter and usually went mad as soon as I was in its form.
I slowly opened my eyes to see Raven looking away from me with a slight blush on her normally perfectly pale face. Then, I suddenly recognized my current state of nudity. I covered my most private of parts and felt my face increase in temperature by at least ten degrees.
I was expecting for Raven to say something sarcastic but all she did was throw her robe over my body and rise herself back into the air. I watched her hovering form as she closed her eyes. She threw her hands in front of her and her hands were surrounded by a whitish aura… white? Two balls of fire formed in her hands and she began to hurl them past me. I looked in the direction that she was aiming and watched the zombies be incinerated, one by one, by the fireballs.
After awhile, there were no more of the ReDeads left and Raven lowered herself to the ground. I suddenly realized that I had been lying down the entire time and quickly leapt to my feet, making sure to keep the cloak acting as a sort of sensorship device.
"When'd you get those powers?" I asked.
"Honestly, about five minutes ago" replied Raven with a small shrug.
I stared at her with confusion and finally asked "What?"
"I'm not quite sure myself" said Raven, looking slightly confused as well. "Wait! You let the beast out! Why?" She seemed to have become quite angered. "You could've just waited for me to save you ! What if you hadn't been able to regain control of yourself? Tell me that!"
"I couldn't wait for you to save me!" I began, turning angry as well. "When you were in trouble yourself! I had to save you for once!"
She just stared at me with an extremely uncharacteristic look on her face. She looked… terrified… more so than in any other moment of her life… that I've seen at least.
"Let's get back to the hotel" I said, calming down instantly upon seeing her face. Luckily, the anger I had just felt had only been in reaction to being shouted at for doing the right thing. It hadn't been enhanced by the ReDead's poison… stuff. It was normal. That made me slightly happier. "We'll need our sleep."

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
I nodded and followed him as he walked back toward the village. I was relieved about so many things at this point. We've rid this world of… at least a small fraction of its demons, Beast Boy was okay, and finally… sane…

Terra's POV
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
I was running through back alleys, trying, as best I could not to be spotted. The last thing I needed was to be arrested for public indecency.
"Gotta get some clothes" I muttered repeatedly, probably looking and sounding like a complete psychopath… or would have if I weren't so sneaky. Guess being Slade's apprentice wasn't as useless as I had been thinking lately. But, the situation still was as it had been for the last few hours. "Who does a girl have to fuck to get some clothes around here?"
"Hey there, sexy" I heard a drunkenly slurring voice say.
I just had to ask…
A/N: Well, whaddaya think? Is it good, or the best ever? It's slightly shorter than my norm, but I think it'll do. One can't have nearly as much stuff in a fighting chapter as in a story progression chapter, or it'll just get weird and stuff.
By the way, my two favorite things, are even more my favorite than they were before writing this chapter!
Signed,
The Cheese!
