Chapter 11: Signs

"Hey Beastboy. Wake up!" yelled Clay trying to wake the drooling Beastboy.

"Give me five more minutes..." groaned BB.

"But it's already past ten in the morning..." said Clay. Beastboy didn't answer. Clay gave a sigh and then casted a weak lightning bolt at Beastboy.

"Waaaaaaaaaa! Hey, what's the big idea?" asked BB.

"Sorry about that but I had to wake you up. Robin has something important to tell us..." said Clay.

"You could have just nudged me or something..." grumbled BB.

"(Giggle) Come on now. Let's get going!" said Bestboy. He dragged BB towards the main room.

(At the main room)

"Huh? What's Speedy and the other Titans East doing here?" asked Cyborg.

"Titan's East?" asked Clay.

"Their a brack of the Teen Titans since we can't always go around..." explained BB.

"I've called them her because we need every help we can get..." said Robin.

"Why is that?" asked Starfire.

"After the past 10 hours, Slade's activities have increased. His minions are scattered in various locations around Jump City. It seems that he is placing what looks like stones with carved characters in it at various locations. One is in the maximum security prison. The other is in the power plant and another in the city slums. And ther's also one in the cemetery and finally, there's one in the airport. We should probably split up to investigate what Slade is planning. Starfire and Raven, you go to the airport. Mas Y Menos and Aqualad, you take the city slums. Cyborg and Bumblebee, You two take the Power plant. Me and Speedy will take the prison. And finally, Beastboy and Clay will take the cemetery. Is everything clear?" asked Robin. All of them nodded. "If you find something, use your communicator. We'll regroup here after about three hours. Okay, Titans Go!" yelled Robin. All of them went to their assigned locations.

(At the cemetery)

"Creepy... I hate cemeteries..." complained Beastboy.

"You think? I think they're fascinating..." said Clay.

"Easy for you to say... We should find Slade at once..." said BB.

Suddenly, Clay felt a sharp pain in his chest. He fell on his knees and clutched his chest. Beastboy rushed to his side to help him.

"What's wrong Clay?" asked BB.

"It's... It's nothing..." said Clay and he stood up.

"Are you sure?" asked BB.

"Yeah. I'm fine. Let's go." said Clay. After a few more minutes of walking, they saw a shadowy figure in front of them. The figure saw them and ran away.

"There he is! Let's go Clay!" yelled Beastboy. Both of them ran after the figure. They came to an old run-down chhurch and cornered the figure.

"We got you now Slade!" yelled Beastboy.

"Hn... You are as stupid as you look..." said Slade and he threw a disk that attached to Beastboy's chest. It electrocuted him.

"Beastboy!" yelled Clay and he tried to rush towards Beastboy but the pain he felt earlier came back, but now it was all over his body. He fell on his knees again.

"Darn... I can't move... Hang on Clay!" yelled Beastboy.

"Hahahahahaha... My plan is going smoothly... Soon Dark Lord will awaken inside of you..." said Slade and he approached Clay.

"Get away from him!" yelled Beastboy but he cannot move.

"Arrggggghhh! Aaaaaaaaaaackkk!" cried Clay in pain.

"The stage is all set... All the pieces are coming together. The runes are finally set in place." said Slade.

"Runes? Wait a minite. The places where Slade's minions are... They form, a star and we're on the center of it..." realized Beastboy.

"It's too late now Beastboy. Clay belongs to me..." said Slade.

All at once, the runes that Slade placed fired a beam of light. which fromed a star. Clay's screams are getting louder and louder.

"Noooo! Clay, hang on!" yelled Beastboy.

A violet aura began emanating from Clay. Suddenly, wounds and slashes started to appear on Clay's body. His hair also grew longer. Finally, he stopped screaming and his hands fell lifelessly. His head was down.

"Clay? Are you... okay?" asked Beastboy.

Clay slowly lifted his head and stared at Beastboy. His eyes were a shade of violet and they were glowing.
