Raven was almost done fixing the walls for her room when she saw the sun going down. It was almost time for Trigon to come. Raven went outside like Robin said they would meet when the sun was going down. Only Cyborg was there.
"Hey Raven." Cyborg said. He had a look of anger in his eyes.
"Whats wrong with you?" Raven asked.
"It's Trigon, he better not come. If he does, he'll regret it." Cyborg replied, and looked away. Starfire then came out. Then Beast Boy came out as a dog with his ears laid back. His ears went up when he saw Raven and padded over to her.
"Hey Rae. Everyone seems down. I don't blame them though. RedDeath sounds pretty bad."
"It does. But we just have to wait and see what a RedDeath dragon would look like. But it's name does make me shiver a little."
"Ya, well, good luck on this. We all need it." Beast Boy conclueded. He turned into a human and sat on a rock next to Raven. Robin then came out. Everyone looked at Robin as if they expected a speech of some kind. But all Robin did was sit down and look at the ground, like it was going to burst on fire. Starfire was about to say something, but a huge roar interupted her. All of the Titans looked for where the sound came from. The roar sounded again, and it was from the beach.
"Ok titans, this is a battle we have trained for! We will go find Trigon, and bring him down! We will do whatever it takes to win! Teen Titans, go!" Robin yelled encouragingly. The Titans went to the beach.
The first think they saw of the beach was fire. The first thing they heard were roars of fury. A big red paw smashed the ground in front of them. The Titans had to find another way around.
"We should fly around him, get a good view of what he looks like." Raven suggested.
"Ok then, if you can fly, pick up someone who can't!" Robin ordered. Beast Boy turned into a pterodactly and picked up Cyborg. Starfire picked up Robin. Raven turned back into a nightfury and flew above RedDeath.
"Ok, break him down. Bigs wings ment for hight and speed, tail and jaws for smashing and crushing. Long claws to distroy anything in it's path. Arch nostrils ment for good sense of smell, this is already a nightmare. Spikes all over his body for more defense. Luckly he can't shoot them. Ok, thats all I need to know about him." Raven observed and flew over to Beast Boy. "I think I know how to defeat him, but i'll have to do it alone. I will need you and the others to distract him so he doesn't find me first." Raven explained. "Can you do that?" Raven asked afterwards.
"Ok, but promiss me you won't get hurt!" Beast Boy replied. "Do you want me to tell the others?"
"We both will." Raven answered. She and Beast Boy split up to tell the other Titans. Beast Boy told Starfire and Robin. Raven told Cyborg. They all agreed to Raven's plan and set out to do their part. Robin and Cyborg distractted it from the front. Beast Boy attacked it from above it's back. Starfire shot starbolts at his tail. RedDeath looked around, unsure who to attack first. It prepared to shoot fire at Cybrog, but then Robin ran into his sight and yelled something. Beast Boy kept turning into different animals to confuse RedDeath whenever he looked at him. If RedDeath turned his head to look at Starfire, she would hide behind his tail. Suddenly a diving noise went towards RedDeath. A black explosion landed an RedDeath with enough force to knock him down to the ground. RedDeath unfloded his wings after getting back up and slowly rose into the air. He looked around, trying to find the new attacker. RedDeath then saw Raven staying in one place in the air. He roared in fury and flew toward Raven. Raven started moving around the perimeter of the beach to make sure he was following her. When Raven was sure he was, Raven looked up. The clouds were dark and the moon barly showed.
"Perfect..." Raven whispered to herself. Raven then flew higher and higher until she and RedDeath had both disapeared. RedDeath stopped in the middle of the clouds. Raven flew in circles around him in the clouds. The dark clouds were useful to hide Raven. She waited for the right time and then did a little dive and shot a fire ball at his wings. The fire hit his wing so hard it made a hole. "I could use that against him." Raven suggested to herself. Raven went a little more higher and dived again. This time she shot two fire blasts. They both made holes as well. If Raven could keep this up, she could make him fall out of the air. Raven shot fire blasts at his other wing to even it up. RedDeath started going down, and out of rage, shot fire everywhere. Some of the fire hit Raven's tail, setting one of the fins on the end of her tail on fire. Raven grunted in pain, but she had to continue what she promissed she would do.
"Ok, safe to say time's up." Raven whispered. RedDeath saw the smoke coming from her tail and followed it. RedDeath couldn't control his flight that well anymore.
Beast Boy looked up and saw Raven and RedDeath diving towards the beach. He didn't remember this being in the plan. But when he turned into a falcon to get better eye sight and see, ha saw Raven wasn't diving. She was falling, and smoke was coming from her tail!
"Raven!" Beast Boy yelled. It was pointless, seeing as Raven wouldn't hear him.
Raven heard Beast Boy yell something but she couldn't tell what it was. All she knew was that she was falling, and she couldn't stop. It was then that Raven heard RedDeath preparing to shoot fire and finish her off. Just as he was about to shoot, she turned her back to the ground and shot a fireball in his mouth. A fire started growing in his mouth and the holes Raven had shot in his wings grew. Now RedDeath couldn't fly. Raven still had a little flight left in her, so she unfolded her wings and RedDeath shot past her and hit the floor with full speed. The bad thing was, the fire Raven shot in RedDeath reacted in a bad way when RedDeath hit the ground. The force of the explosion knocked Raven out of the air and onto the part of RedDeath's back that didn't explode. Raven ran up his tail and turned into human to jump and fly out of the explosion. But the end of RedDeaths tail hit her, and she fell into the middle of the explosion.
Beast Boy couldn't believe his eyes. Was this really what he just saw? He ran over to where the explosion accured.
"Raven! Raven, where are you?" Beast Boy yelled. This time there was a point to it. "Raven, answer me!" Beast Boy felt a tear go down his cheek. Cyborg put his hand on his back to comfort him, but it didn't work. He then remembered the momment he and Raven had when she showed him that she was the dragon. How they got closer to eachother. It wasn't just him, Raven did too. So it was possible Raven felt the same. But even if she did, could they be together? Beast Boy turned into a blood hound and looked around the rocks. All of the titans had searched every rock in the few minutes it took. Beast Boy didn't want to give up, but now there was no choice, Raven was gone.
"Sorry BB, but Raven's gone."
"She's somewhere! People can't just.. dissapear!"
"They can if they fall into an explosion.." Cyborg mumbled to himself. The titans knew they wouldn't find Raven, so they started going back to Titans Tower. Beast Boy lagged behind the group though, he didn't want to go home right now. Robin said they'd wait for him at the tower, and soon the others were out of sight.
"She has to be somewhere, but where?" Beast Boy mumbled to himself. "I mean, it's imposible to just disapear, isn't it?"
"I'm glad you waited." Raven's voice said from behind where Beast Boy sat on a rock.
"Raven? Is that really you?"
"No, i'm the Ghost of Christmas Past." Raven said sarcasticly, but Beast Boy just stared blankly at her. "Of course it's me, why else do you think i'm standing here?" Raven said. Beast Boy got up and hugged Raven.
"Come on! The others will want to know you're ok!" Beast Boy said, and ran over to where the other titans stood waiting. "Guys, Raven's ok!"
"Really? Where is she?" Starfire asked just as Raven appeared behind Beast Boy.
"Right here." Raven replied.
"No! This isn't possible! How could this happen?" a shreik filled the air with. ScreamingDeath then appeared with his pure red eyes filling with anger as the Raven got into his view. "You! You did something to do this, didn't you?" ScreamingDeath asked. Beast Boy stood in front of Raven.
"We all had a part in this. Don't blame her alone." Beast Boy said, looking straight in ScreamingDeath's eyes.
"Arg, this isn't over! I will get my revenge, and when I do, i'll be seeing you Sulophine!" ScreamingDeath finished, and flew off.
"Sulophine?" Cyborg asked and looked at Raven. Raven shrugged.
"Never heard of it."
Back at the tower...
Raven sat on a rock and stared at the water. Beast Boy came outside and stood next to her.
"What are you doing out here? You should be inside celebrating with us."
"I don't know. I just wanted to be alone."
"Oh, I see..." Beast Boy said and started walking back to the tower.
"No, it's ok. You can stay." Raven said, still looking at the water.
"Um, ok." Beast Boy replied and sat down next to Raven. "Did you want to talk or something?"
"Only if you want to." Raven said, and looked at Beast Boy.
"Well, I did want to ask how you were doing... after.. well you know."
"Yes I know what you mean, and i'm fine. I just can't fly as a dragon anymore."
"Really? Why not?" Beast Boy asked. Raven turned back into a dragon and showed him her tail, how one of the fins was missing. "Oh. Maybe I could help, if you want." Beast Boy said after Raven turned back into a human.
"I don't see how you can, but I guess it's worth a try."
"Ya..." Beast Boy whispered to himself and blushed a little. He looked at Raven again and saw she was blushing a little too. He wondered if she was thinking the same crazy thing he was. She more than likely wasn't, but he would ask anyway.
"So, um, after all we've been through... I was wondering if maybe you'd want to..." Beast Boy stumbled on words.
"I know what you're going to say, and.. well, why not? I'll give it- give us- a chance."
"Really? You would?" Beast Boy looked up at Raven in suprise.
"I would." Raven replied and looked at Beast Boy. Raven and Beast Boy started getting closer to eachother. Beast Boy held Raven's hand, and they both closed their eyes.
"Raven! Beast Boy! You guys coming in?" Cyborg yelled from the tower. Raven and Beast Boy opened their eyes and saw they were about to kiss. They moved away a little to make it look like nothing happened. "Oh, there you guys are. You coming back in?" Cyborg said after walking up to them. "Did I interupt anything?"
"No." Raven replied.
"Ok, well, you guys want to come back in? Everone was wondering where you guys went." Cyborg continued.
"We'll be back in a few minutes, ok?" Beast Boy then said after a few silent seconds.
"Ok. I'll be sure to tell everyone that. See you then." Cyborg finished and walked back inside the tower. Instead of continueing what Raven and Beast Boy were doing, they just stared out at the water in complete silence. Finally Raven broke the quiet.
"There's something about this Sulophine that makes me uneasy. I fell like I do know something about it, yet I've never heard of it."
"Maybe it's a memory you have only as a dragon?" Beast Boy suggested.
"Maybe, but I don't think so. If it was memory I only have as a dragon, I wouldn't have a faint trace of it right now."
"Then, what does that faint trace of it say right now?"
"It's the home of something, but I can't put my finger on it..."
"Well, we can solve this later. Let's go back to the tower. We have a party waiting for us after all." Beast Boy finished the convirsation. Beast Boy and Raven both held hands as they entered the tower.
Thanks for reading this story! I know it was probley boring to you guys, but I would like to know what you think! I had such a hard time choosing a good ending, so sorry it seems cut off here. But I will make a part 2 to this. Also, this is how to pronounce Soluphine.
Soul-o-fine
Just figured you'd want to know. So, review this and tell me what you thought!
