Midnight kitten: Hey everyone, so it's the 16th chapter huh? I cannot believe I typed 2 chapters within a halfday. I think it's the fastest one yet. Oh wait no…the previous chapter was shorter than what I expected. And yes I know that was so not a hanger but I'm getting a bit rusty, give me a break. Hehehehehe. I love you guys!

Disclaimer: I still don't own it. Sigh.

Chapter 16: Same difference

"BOO – YAH!" A heavy male voice boomed with enthusiasm followed by a strong wave of electric blue blasting its way through the cave walls. The all powerful demon turned around and found himself eye to eye with a dark skinned, half robot grinning like there was no tomorrow, beside him stood a masked leader ready to take Trigon out. Robin, his face stoned into one determined look, charged straight for the red mass of evil, his battle cry ringing for the last time before Raven's father finally took out all the interruptions he could see. One by one, he enclosed the exposed Titans in amber cases which slowly drew out their powers.

"Let me out!" Terra's bold blue eyes spoke to the red demon, her regret of turning her back on the enemy spilling through her lips at the very moment. She punched and kicked the prison in which she was held captive in but her movements were futile. The more she resisted, the more the energy seemed to be sucked right out of her.

"Yo man, this ain't funny!" Cyborg complained. He didn't dare use his cannon. After restless efforts, the half robot realized that all his weapons would merely bounce right back at him with twice the power compared to his release. He sat down, using his human arm to wipe off the blood from his eyes and cheeks.

"RAVEN! You have to wake up!" Robin insisted as he kept on yelling orders at the cloaked girl inside the dome near him but she did not stir. Angered by Trigon and the fact that despite he was the leader he couldn't do anything, Robin was even more frustrated. The people who have fought with him side by the side are the same people he could not protect.

"Please…" A soft crying voice escaped from Starfire. A moment ago, she had brought reinforcements outside the cave but unexpected events were happening around the world and all the other Titans were needed to protect their people. With an oral agreement with Robin through the communicators, the rest of the Titans went back in order to save the rest of the world. Starfire chose to join her teammates in fighting the root of all the happenings only to be enclosed as soon as she had entered through the cave top.

In the midst of all that was occurring, suddenly, the sky ate the moon. Total darkness spread throughout the world. Electricity was cut off, generators were shut down, and everything was swallowed into black. A heavy laugh echoed within the holes of every portion of that cave. Words "it was time" and "the hour is over" were repeatedly coming out of Trigon. The Titans fell silent. Nobody knew what was going on and they feared of what was to come.

Ringing and chiming began to sound the cave. Before the very eyes of the Titans, the dome Raven was in began to glow brighter and brighter. A faded shadow lay near the bottom of the dome, twisting side to side. Then there were screams. A thousand voices boomed throughout the universe that very minute. Screams of agony, of pain, complaints of suffering and of demises, all of them caused by Trigon himself. The demon kept laughing, sucking in the energy from the miseries of the voices. The light grew brighter, and the voices died down, only two remained. One was the sound of Raven's moan, a sign that she was coming to her senses and the other was slurred into murmured whispers. Raven's voice disappeared and the light started to change into a different color, green. Smoke shrouded the dome even more. Within the dome itself appeared a big growing shadows. It split into two then in the end, merged into one.

"What is happening?" Trigon bellowed. Green lights hit him. He winced. A furious Trigon rambled and growled, his anger heightening as things were not going as they were planned. He made his way towards the dome when all of a sudden the dome breaks and more green lights escape from it.

Everything went silent. All the locked up Titans squinted, trying to make out what was happening but failed to do so. Out from the green lights came a shady shadow of a cross. Nobody knew what that was until Terra's weak and raspy voice spoke:

"No…no… It can't be…" She said negatively, refusing to believe what she's seeing. The people turned to what she was looking at and Starfire burst into tears as Cyborg cursed, word after word. Tears freely fell from Terra's blue eyes.

"It's…" Robin wasn't even able to continue his expression.

"BEASTBOY!" Terra yelled, her tone full of sadness. Her heart felt broken as she saw her boyfriend, his eyes were blank and his face was unreadable. In his bloody arms was Raven, her torn up leotard was white but deep red marked the position where her heart is. Beastboy stood motionless, unfazed by anything. The Titans screamed and yelled, they tried to fight their way out but each of them got hurt even more. Their hits doubled back at them, what more, none of them had the power to save their friends.

"BEASTBOY! PLEASE!" Terra cried louder, her hands banging on the shield. She dropped to her knees and laid her forehead on the surface. "Please…" Her eyes grew bright yellow as Starfire's neon green orbs shone brightly. Cyborg's arm glowed sky blue, his arm charging more power while Robin took out his sword, his body being surrounded by a red aura. In one single voice, they gave it their all

"WAKE UP!" A boom shattered every noise in the cave and a strong wind gushed by. Dust and particles began circling around the glowing Beastboy. One shot, the two weak Titans were wrapped once more in the bright light and a cyclone of wind, earth and fire. The earth shook and rumbled and within an instant, the ground separated into two. Hot magma flowed through the cracks and crevices below. As the land widened, Trigon's throne fell in, turning into a big chunk of melted matter. Boulder by boulder, the earth crashed below. When everything stopped, the only land left were the ones where the Titans were and the position Trigon stood in.

Trigon laughed and remarked that he wasn't going anywhere. He released his energy and began to take in the power from the glowing bright light in the middle of the cave. But before anything else could happen, a piercing scream came from Trigon. He raised his arms to his head and craned his neck towards the heavens. Slowly, his body turned stone colored. In that very instant, Trigon was nothing more than a figure sculpted in gray rock and his statue was pulled into the lava. Without Trigon, the shields preventing the Titans to move diminished. They all looked down at the now sinking Trigon until finally, he disappeared into the fiery depths.

In one swift moment, the green light died and everything went back to black. The lava underneath was warm but the glowing had passed. The Titans, still trapped, did not know what was going to happen. Slowly, within the darkness, the moon shone with its dim white light. It beamed directly at the dome. As the Titans' eyes gradually focused, they saw the familiar purple uniform of their friend just before the area where the cave grounds cracked.

Beastboy lay on the cave floor, his hand wrapped around a torn up Raven. The Titans, especially Terra, quickly ran towards their two friends and attempted to wake them but every time they came too close, they were thrown back. Just when they thought it was finally over, the earth shook and they were thrown off balance. The crack on the ground began to close up. When it finally did, steam came out from where the division line was. Then there was silence.

AN: OH MY GOSH! I'm actually almost done! TWO MORE CHAPPIES! Please bear with me.
