Raven and Beast Boy watched ScreamingDeath crash into the ground. The good thing was, he was down. The bad thing was, it was right next to Titans Tower. ScreamingDeath's tail hit the side of the tower, distroying a side of it.
"We were to late! Robin won't be happy with this." Beast Boy said. Raven turned into a human again and landed.
"It can be fixed, don't worry." Raven reasurred. ScreamingDeath tried to fly, but something was wrong with his wing. It was just then that Raven and Beast Boy realized most of the tower that he distroyed landed on his wing, crippling it. ScreamingDeath shrieked in rage, and looked at Raven.
"Any chance ScreamingDeath is someone else too?"
"Slade. I've just been calling him ScreamingDeath."
"Raven, you are alright!" Starfire's voice yelled. Raven turned around and saw Starfire flying towards her. Starfire ran up to Raven. "Where have you been this whole time?"
"Long story. Don't want to talk about." Raven replied. Cyborg ran up to the three titans, looking confused to see Raven.
"Raven?" Cyborg said quietly. Robin then came running up as well.
"Well Beast Boy, Raven, what happened?" Robin asked as he stared at the dragon trying to fly away, but crashing everytime. Raven and Beast Boy explained what happened, and Robin got out his staff. "Now that he can't fly, we can take him down. Titans, go!" Robin said, and the titans sprang into action. Beast Boy turned into a T-rex and held ScreamingDeath down by standing on him. Beast Boy also bit his other wing to be positive he couldn't fly. ScreamingDeath lifted his head up and shot fire at Beast Boy. One fire ball hit side, and knocked him back. Raven turned into a nightfury and shot fire at his eyes so he couldn't see. Seeing as ScreamingDeath was long, he used his tail to get taller. ScreamingDeath was about to snap Raven out of the air but Starfire shot a starbolt at him. Instead of snapping Raven out of the air, his head hit Raven out of the air due to the force caused by the starbolt. Raven crashed onto the roof of Titans Tower. Cyborg prepared his sonic cannon and shot at his side. ScreamingDeath turned his head to Cyborg, and started slithering like a snake towards him. A really fast snake that is. Robin then used an energy disk to hit ScreamingDeath, but it missed, making a light explosion next him. ScreamingDeath then turned to where the light hit, and slithered there.
"He's attracted to light! Use it against him!" Robin ordered. Cyborg shot a sonic blast at the rocks behind ScreamingDeath, and ScreamingDeath turned to where the light hit. Beast Boy got up, looked to find Raven. He saw her getting up on the tower.
Raven thought for a momment. If she got something that caused light, she might be able to lure him away with it. She looked around, trying to find something that would reflect light at ScreamingDeath for her. She found some glass, but the refection was to small. Maybe a bigger piece of glass would work! Raven ran around the core of the tower looking at the broken glass around it. She found a piece big enough and picked it up. Just in Raven's luck, ScreamingDeath's wings started to work again. ScreamingDeath shot into the air, and Raven followed. ScreamingDeath saw light reflect from the glass Raven was holding and went towards it. Just as ScreamingDeath was close, Raven moved and started flying away from the tower. ScreamingDeath's wings started failing again, and crashed into a rock. To Raven's suprise, the beast turned back into Slade.
"I've had enough of this!" Slade yelled.
The titans gathered around Slade, with the look of battle in their eyes fading.
"Slade!?" Robin exlaimed. "You were that thing?"
"I see your suprised. What did you expect? I go missing, and this dragon comes out of nowhere. It's simple when you think about it, really."
"Then, how did you get the dragon form?" Beast Boy asked.
"Trigon. He figuered out how to shapeshift into a dragon, and gave me the abillity to as well."
"So wait, if Trigon's a dragon, which one is he?" Cyborg asked.
"RedDeath. But if you want your real enemy, wait for tonight. Also Raven, the prophecy is fake. I made it up to make you fall for it."
"I knew it was fake, I just played along with it." Raven replied.
"Then how come you didn't do anything, hmm?"
"Look, she doesn't have to explain. I believe her." Beast Boy jumped up to Raven's defence.
"I think you should be ready, don't let me waste your time. Fairwell, titans. It may be the last time we ever see eachother again." Slade finished. He turned into ScreamingDeath with fixed wings and flew off. Beast Boy and Raven exchanged a glance and walked over to the remains of Titans Tower.
"Luckly are rooms aren't as damaged as I thought they would be. We still have a place to sleep." Cyborg annouced after exiting the ruins of Titans Tower.
"Ya, if it wasn't for Raven, we would have a tower anymore." Beast Boy said, then looked at Raven.
"It was your idea to dive bomb him, don't give me credit." Raven replied.
"So? Who cares, you saved the tower wether it was your idea or not." Cyborg said. "Anyway, i'm going to start rebuiding our rooms. I know Trigon is coming tonight, but we have to be ready." Cyborg finished and walked into the remains of Titans Tower. The other titans followed Cyborg. Well, all of them but Raven. Raven instead looked at the city, like she felt like this was her fault. Beast Boy noticed and walked over.
"I knew Slade was lying about the prophecy, but he's right. Why didn't I do anything about it? I didn't do anything to stop him." Raven said just as Beast Boy walked behind her.
"You did do something to stop him, you stopped him from distroying the tower." Beast Boy said in a smooth voice.
"It is distroyed, look at it." Raven said and pointed at the half of the tower that was distroyed.
"Yes, but one half you did save. Look at it like it's yourself. Slade gave you your dragon form, right?" Beast Boy said, and looked at the half that wasn't distroyed.
"He did."
"So the distroyed half is the half of you he distroyed. But part of you isn't broken, it still stands strong. Look at what you saved, other than look at what you've lost. Like you said, it's possible to rebuild what was lost. So try to, and you won't shatter." Beast Boy explained incouragingly. Raven looked at the half of the tower that was safe, and knew what Beast Boy ment.
"I guess you're right." Raven said quietly, and looked at Beast Boy. She saved half of her home and her friends. "Thank you." Raven said looking at Beast Boy.
"Why thank me?" Beast Boy asked, and looked over at Raven.
"Because you're the only one who came back to help." Raven replied. Beast Boy smiled.
"Well, we should go fix up our rooms, shouldn't we? Let's go then." Beast Boy finished, and held Raven's hand. They both walked into the tower. All the titans knew that Trigon would be coming, and when he did, they would fight to the death.
