When Robin and Raven woke up it was still dark outside. Better to get a move on at night then in the morning. They were walking for a little while when all of a sudden the land started to shake. They held onto each other tightly as Raven took them up in the air. When the earth stopped shaking an explosion shook the earth harder than anything they had ever heard before.
Raven was so surprised she lost her hold on Robin and they were both sent tumbling down to the ground. Robin was hurt in a bad, bad way. If he hit the ground, he could die, but in the most likely case he could get really hurt. She raced ahead to try and catch him. She caught him right before he hit the ground. They were both breathing very hard and they held onto each other laughing a nervous laugh.
What had happened? They found out a moment later. A giant beast had come up behind them. It was made of sand.
"So that was what that explosion was!"
He snorted. They should probably get out of the way. The sand beast growled and ran straight at Robin. Raven turned into her spirit Raven and flew into the sand beast. She brought Robin out with him kicking and screaming. The sand-beast yelled in anger. He usually didn't lose lost tasty morsels. (Of course most of them never even attempted to fight back.)
Robin swooped his Bo Staff expertly around his head. He then jumped at the beast. But he fell short because of his injuries. They were trying to devise a plan while fending off the beasts attacks, but with labored breathing it soon became hard to talk.
"Why don't you try turning into a demon?" shouted Robin.
"I don't think I should… I might lose control and hurt you in the process," yelled Raven.
The sand beast morphed down into the sand. He was gone… But not for long.
BABOOOOOM!
Raven tried to put a force field up but the sand beast hit them at full force. They went flying through the air. It felt like they were getting hit by a train at 100 miles an hour. Raven and Robin sat up gingerly.
They used every power and item that they had at their disposal to attack the sand beast. After a while, he finally dissolved. He had taken a beating. They would be no more trouble from the sand beast after this.
Nightfall:
All of a sudden the barren land ended and in its place was water instead. They were both stood back in surprise. They didn't have time to dwell on this as they didn't know how big the "ocean" of water was. Raven picked up Robin and they began their trek again.
