It was midnight, at least Raven thought it was. She was flying out in the cold air, looking for something ScreamingDeath wanted. A data chip found in Titans Tower. The cave was pretty far from Titans Tower. But Raven wasn't a human anymore, she was Nightfury. She had dark purple scales, with a red diamond shape on her forehead. ScreamingDeath said she had two pairs of fins on her tail, on near the start of the tail, and another pair on the end. Her main wings were right above her front shoulders, flaping rarely, but she was still at break-neck speed. Nightfuries were supposed to be the fastest of all the dragons.
"How much farther?" Raven groaned. Finally a big T shape appeared. Raven thought for a momment. She could fly away, off into the mountains right now, or she could contiue the mission, distroying the Titans, her friends... If she flew off into the mountains, she and her friends would be safe, but for how long? Raven pricked her eight ears for any answer she could get from the wind, but she knew the wind wouldn't help her. ScreamingDeath would kill her and the Titans, but if she wen't on with the mission, she could save one of the titans by taking one with her. She thought about it, and decided if she, it was Beast Boy she would take, because of her crush on him. But she knew he would object.
Meanwhile in Beast Boy's room...
"I wish Raven was here. I could've asked her.. she would say no. I might as well give up. She isn't coming back." Beast Boy argued with himself. He couldn't bring himself to believe Raven was dead, but he was starting to loose hope of it. He had a crush on Raven, and that made this worse. If she was dead and they had proof of it, his heart would be broken forever. "Oh Raven, where ever you are, please come back!"Beast Boy said, and tears filled his eyes and ran down his cheeks. He would give almost anything to have Raven back, maybe even his own life. Beast Boy looked at the stars, wondering if Raven was up there, or still down here. He hoped he could get a sign of some kind, something to let him know. He was about to close his curtains, then he saw some stars disapearing then reapearing. "Huh? Whats happening up there?" Beast Boy said, and realized he was standing on his injured leg. He could walk again!
Beast Boy walked outside, and looked at the stars. They were still disapearing then reapering. "Thats weird.." he then heard a roar, to soft and short to be ScreamingDeath. It was longer and more high-pitched than the two-headed dragon now know as the Hideous Zippleback. He ran into the tower to tell Robin about it.
Right now with Raven...
Raven Looked down and saw someone standing in front of the tower. Using her night sight, she saw Beast Boy. Speak of the devil, huh?
"Beast Boy! Up here!" Raven yelled, which she knew he couldn't understand her, but it was worth a shot. Raven's roar echoed in the air, and she knew she just gave away her position. She saw Beast Boy's shape run towards Titan Tower and disapear inside it. "Oh thats just great. They'll get a net and shoot me down won't they?" She silently flew over to the tower's roof, where unexpectedly, Cyborg and Starfire were standing. Raven knew it took her a few minutes to get to the roof, but that was fast.
"Beast Boy said there was a dragon, and we found it!" Cyborg said, then prepared his sonic blaster.
"We will not loose another titan! Raven's loss has ruined Beast Boy's life!"
"Robin, Beast Boy, it came up here!" Cyborg yelled, and shot a sonic blast. Raven jumped out of the way and through the door on the roof. Raven was pushed back by Robin, who had Beast Boy close behind him.
"Give ScreamingDeath a message, you'll know it in a minute!" Robin said, then got out his staff. He jumped at Raven, who they knew another dragon right now, and smacked her across the floor. Raven got back up and unfolded her wings to fly off, but Beast Boy slamed into her side as a goat. Raven felt frusteration burn inside her, and when Starfire was preparing to shoot starbolts, Raven felt something rise in her neck. She opened her mouth to cough, but instead black fire shot out.
"Starfire, look out!" Robin yelled and pushed her out of the way. Raven found it hard to believe she just shot fire, but got up and flew away.
"All I did was land, whats their problem?" Raven whispered to herself hastly. Raven turned her head and saw the titans looking at her as she left. I'm going, i'm going... Raven thought. Then she remembered why she was here in the first place. She dived down the glind above the ocean, and turned back towards the main doors. She liked having dark colored scales now, because they didn't see her at all. She pushed the doors open and sneaked alongside the walls and corners. She heard Cyborg chatting happily as he thought she was gone. They were wrong.
After the battle with Beast Boy...
"That was to easy. I thought ScreamingDeath would send something harder than that!" Beast Boy commented.
"I guess he's getting helpless. We took him down, then the Zippleback. I don't know Beast Boy, your good at naming them. What seems a suitable name for this dragon?" Cyborg replied.
"Hmm, I don't know, give me time on that. Anyway, good night everyone." Beast Boy finished and walked to his room.
To where Raven hides...
The other titans said good night and went into their rooms as well. Raven stalked over to the titans computer as soon as it was safe to go. She used her claws to enter the password and type what she needed to eject the chip. She picked it up with one of her fronts paws and and was at the door. She looked back. Was Raven sure this was what she wanted? What about her plan to save Beast Boy? Raven knew why they attacked her, she just over-reacted. But now it was too late to get Beast Boy, she had to go through with it. Raven pushed the doors open again and flew off. She looked back at Titans Tower again. Raven couldn't believe what was happening.
It was an hour after Raven had stolen the chip and was now going down the tunnel that led to ScreamingDeath's underground cave. It wasn't a long tunnel, but it's tiring to go up. Raven saw red eyes look at her and knew it was ScreamingDeath.
"Exelent work nightfury. This brings me one step closer to distroying the titans. And you'll help me do it."
"One day, I will get out of this form, and I will save them. And you won't stop me, not like this." Raven said in defiance.
"What if I let you save one of them? Would you be so furious then?"
"Of course I would! They're my friends, the only one's i've ever had. You can't change that."
"Oh, but I can Raven. I can change that. Use earlier, when they attacked you, as an example."
"I'm a dragon, and dragon are attacking them! Of course they attacked me, they didn't know it was me!"
"As good of a point that is, if they did find out it was you, if they knew you stole a data chip with all of their info on it, they'd never accept you again." ScreamingDeath said, and help up the chip. "Because of you giving me this, the titans will be no more." ScreamingDeath finished, and flew off to his own part of the cave. Raven felt empty inside. She had to do something.
As soon as Raven reached the top of the tunnel, the sun started to shine. Raven felt like she should warn them, even if they attacked her, it was worth a shot.
Back at Titans Tower...
Beast Boy yawned and got out of bed. He walked over to Cyborg's room, seeing if he wanted to train or do something fun. He knocked on the door, but there was no reply. He went into the main room and saw that Robin, Starfire, and Cyborg were all talking. A little meeting no one bothered to get Beast Boy up for.
"Dudes, what's going on?"
"Oh hey Beast Boy. We were just talking about the dragon from last night. That was weird for a dragon to come out of nowhere and do that kind of thing, huh?" Cyborg answred.
"Oh, I guess it is. Dragons don't normally do that. Well the others didn't anyway. I think thats out of their nature." Beast Boy said. He could tell that dragon was different from the others. He felt odd about it, like that dragon didn't try to attack them at all. The titans talked for some time, until the titans computer went off.
"Titans, trouble!"
"Whats the trouble?"
"A new dragon. Red, long neck, sharp teeth as i'm sure you guessed. No front legs, just back legs with the longest claws out of them all. It doesn't matter on what it looks like though, lets go!" Robin said.
As the titans got to the battlefield, the dragon immediatly walked over the them. He used his wings as his front legs to walk. The dragon glared at Beast Boy, and prepared to shoot fire. A diving noise interupted the dragon, and it looked up. Without warning, the dragon was shoved back by yet another dragon, the same purple one from last night.
