Slade replied as he started to run toward's Raven and th other's. Shadow put her katana in both hand's ran toward's Slade as fast as she could. When she was close enough she swung her sword but Slade dodged. And flew back a few feet from the wind her attach had caused. "Not bad for a wanna be titan" He said slightly laughing.
"Kiss my ass dude" She got pissed and tried to hit him again but missed. She stuck the tip of her sword in the ground and pushed off of it kicking him with both feet kicking him in the chest. Before he hit the ground he did a back flip and used his hand to stop from sliding any farther. She pulled her sword out and stuck it in the sheath on her side and ran toward's him. Putting her hand's together making five or more knife's appear she started to throw them as she got closer to him. he dogged but got hit by two. One in his head and the other in his arm. He pulled the one out of his arm but didn't have time to get the other on out before Shadow had knocked him down and pushed it in as far as it would go. Slade scream and tried to push Shadow off but with no luck. His arm's went limp and fell to his side. Shadow climbed off of him and started to walk back toward's the other's when she felt a tug at her sheath. She turned around and saw Slade with her katana before she could do anything she was pined on one of the building with her katana as far through her right arm as it would go. She scream at the top of her lung's.
"Do...you like...how it feel's?" Slade asked between gasp's of air as he slowly started to fall to the ground again.
"Shadow!!" Raven scream as she watched the sword enter her arm. Her team member's had to hold her back so she didn't run off. Shadow looked over at Raven and then back down at her katana. She closed her eye's and took a deep breath as she tried to pull her sword out of her arm. She cringed her teeth and bit her lip so hard it started to bleed. When she finally got it out all the way she fell to her knees. She slowly stood up and looked down at Slade who was half dead.
" I wont let you cause anyone...pain ever...again" She said between breathes. She brought her katana over her head and with a full swift motion cut off Slade's head. His body his the ground without another movement and Shadow's knees's once again hit the ground. Raven got free from her friend's and rushed over to Shadow.
"Shadow are you alright?" She asked trying to help her up. Shadow looked over at her with a weak smile.
"I'm fine...I've had worse" She replied cringing a bit. Shadow looked up toward's the T tower and saw Trigon. "It seem's that I'm not finished yet " She said ripping off the bottom of her short sleeve shirt and wrapped it around her bleeding arm. Raven grabbed her hand without thinking and quickly let it go. Shadow smiled and winked at her. "Ill be fine little black bird I promise...I just wanna finish this" She said pulling Raven into a loose hug and kissed her cheek. "You know I never break my promises" She whisper. "And I promise...if I win...I'll tell you what I was talking about in the note" She added pulling out of the hug and quickly flying to Trigon.
"What do you mean if!?" Raven yelled but Shadow ignored her.
"We should help her as much as we can" Cyborg said watching Shadow fly off to what was probably going to be her death. Raven watched as Shadow flew unsteady wobbling every few feet.
"He's right we are the teen titan's after all we have to protect Jump City" Robin said placing a hand on Raven's shoulder.
"Let's go" Beast Boy transformed into a Pterodactyl and grabbed Cyborg by the shoulder's and flew off toward's Shadow. Starfire grabbed Robin and did the same.
"Every time I take one step forward...I take ten step back" Raven sighed and headed off with the other's .
"Trigon...it's your turn" Shadow said holding her arm to the side.
"Why do you insist on saving this pitiful planet?"ed not moving from his seat..
"Because you are trying to hurt the person I care about the most...the one person who made me feel...alive...I wont let you hurt her, her friend's or this planet that they call home" Shadow replied grabbing her katana and charged toward's his heart. Trigon smiled and batted her away as if she were a fly. She knocked into a building and hit the ground hard.
"Foolish child nothing you try to do can stop me" He hadn't moved as he watched her struggle to get up. She got to her hand's and knee's. She grabbed her stomach as she started to cough up blood.
"Shadow are you ok?" Raven asked helping Shadow to her feet.
"I'm fine" She replied wiping away the blood from her lip's. She tried to stand on her own but Raven ended up catching her before she hit the ground again. Raven sat her back down and placed back on the building.
"You don't seem fine...you should stay here and let us take care of Trigon" Raven said pushing a few strand's of Shadow's hair out of her face. Shadow grabbed Raven's hand and looked up at her.
"I will fight...tell I die if I have to" She replied taking a deep breath and stood on her own. 'I'll be there for you through it all even if saving you send's me to heaven' Shadow thought to herself as she looked at Raven. She smiled and started toward's Trigon pulling Raven along with her. "We can do this...I know we can" They joined the rest of the titan's . Robin looked at Shadow and she nodded.
"Titan's Go" He yelled and they all charged toward's Trigon. Shadow snuck to go around to his back as the other titan's distracted him. Cyborg and Starfire shoot at him causing little burn spots on his skin. Shadow got to the back of his head and landed softly of his shoulder. She took her katana out and cut off what was closest to her, his ear. He scram and stood up trying to bat her off of him. She jumped off his shoulder and stuck her katana in it using it slide down making a big gash from his shoulder to his hip. She pulled it out and flew over to Cyborg and Starfire.
"We have to aim for his heart or his head" She said pointing with her katana.
"Alright let's go" " Cyborg replied looking at Beast Boy who transformed and carried him to Trigon. Shadow looked at Raven and grabbed her hand.
"Raven...would you help me to kill your father?" She asked reaching for Raven's hand. Raven smiled and took her hand.
"After what he did to you and my friend's...I would gladly help" She replied. Shadow smiled and kissed her on the cheek.
"That's my little black bird". They flew off toward's Trigon still holding hand's. Raven threw Shadow as hard she could and Shadow took her katana in both hand's hitting Trigon in the chest and with all the power she had left forced her katana all the way through his black hole of a heart. He scream and fell to one knee as he slowly turned into ash and started to blow away with the wind.
"I promise you Raven...I will be back to finish this...and Shadow you will be the first to die" He looked up to the sky and scream one last time before completely disappearing. Shadow looked Raven and gave her a tired smile. Her eye's flutter shut and she started to fall. Raven wasn't close enough to her to catch her in time. Luckily Starfire got to her.
"Star is she ok?" Raven asked rushing over to her. Starfire put her ear by Shadow's mouth and nodded.
"She is still breathing but seem's to have passed out from the lose of blood" She replied handing Shadow to Raven.
"We have to get her back to infirmary and hopefully it's still in tacked" Cyborg said looking down at Shadow. Raven looked down at Shadow and smiled a bit. She took Shadow back to the T tower while the other's fallowed closely. Luckily the infirmary was still in perfect shape. Raven stayed close to Shadow while Cyborg fixed and bandaged her injury's. While the other three titan's fixed what damage had been done to the tower. "She should be fine as long as her body doesn't reject the new blood and she get's a lot of rest" He said as he finished bandaging her right arm.
"Thanks Cy" Raven said with a small smile. He looked up and smiled back at her.
"No problem, any friend of your's is a friend of our's" He placed the old bandaging in the trash. "I'll leave you two alone now" He added with a wink and left the room. Raven blushed a bit with a smile. She looked back down at Shadow.
"Why do you have to be so stubborn?" She asked quietly knowing she wouldn't get and answer. Five or six hour's passed with Raven only leaving Shadow's side if necessary like to eat or go to the bathroom. She had fallen asleep on the side of Shadow's bed with her head on her arm's.
Shadow woke up cringing a bit as she tried to sit up. When she could open her eye's all the way she saw Raven and smiled.
'Still the cutest thing I've ever seen' She thought to herself reaching for Raven's hand and gently tapped it. She looked up and blinked tired as she yawned. "Hey sleepy head" Shadow whispered. Raven stretched a bit the laced her finer's with Shadow's and smiled back.
"Hey, how are you feeling?" She asked yawning again. Shadow laughed a bit causing her to cringe from the sharp pain in her stomach but she quickly ignored it.
"I've been better, how bout you? you seem a little tired"
"A little bit but I'll manage" She replied yawning again.
"You should go to bed...it's not like I'll be moving anytime soon" Shadow said with a tired smile.
"I don't wanna leave though" Raven mumbled blushing a bit.
"Aww, little black bird are you worried?" Shadow asked sarcastically. Raven looked back up at her with a serious face.
"How could I not be you almost died today"
"Almost meaning could have but didn't I'm fine now and that's all I care about because I still get to see your beautiful face" Shadow said putting a few strand's of hair behind's Raven's ear making her blush. "Now get your butt to bed before I get up and kick it" She added, waving a finger in front of her face. Raven smiled.
"Fine if you insist, after all you don't need to be hurting yourself any more" She got up and headed for the door. Shadow rested back into her pillow finding to sound very good at the time
