R&R por favor! This chapter was so hard to write. Jeez. Oh. Sorry this took so long, like I said, it was hard to write.
oOo
I am not you, we could have
I'm almost through, great success
It's about time, such a success
That you came through, at no expense
oOo
Today was the day. After a full night of rest, the Titans were prepared to take on Pesadelo and his army. Cyborg was tinkering with his sonic canon, Robin polishing his bo staff, Starfire ironing her uniform and Raven meditating. The only one not doing anything productive was Beast Boy. There was really nothing he could do to prepare himself for the battle that was yet to happen, so instead, he was playing on his DS, trying to pass the time. They decided the best time to attack would be in early in the morning. They still about 30 minutes until they set out into the world, so to push back the fears of being demolished, they did mindless things. Starfire never really enjoyed ironing her clothes, but it took her mind of the supposed impeding doom. And Robin could have done better things than polish his bo staff, but like Starfire, wanted to push his mind away. It wasn't until Beast Boy spoke up, that they snapped out of their trances.
"Maybe we should get going. I mean, you've been polishing that thing for hours, Robin." Beast Boy said nervously.
"I agree with friend Beast Boy. It would be most strategic to begin combat now." Starfire said. Knowing there was no arguing with his girlfriend, Robin nodded reluctantly.
"Fine. Remember, the main objective is to get Raven as close as possible to Pesadelo." Robin warned, standing up from his spot on the couch. They all nodded and Raven looked around nervously. If she failed, her friends would probably get killed. No pressure. Robin opened the small hatch door on the ceiling that led to the surface of the island. Everyone but Beast Boy and Raven crawled to the surface. Raven was holding the long sword that Cyborg had crafted in her hands. Her face was painted with worry and she seemed to be deep in thought.
"Hey...you, alright?" Beast Boy said, appearing next to her.
"I guess." her voice cracked. Beast Boy wrapped an arm around her back.
"Everything's gonna be just fine!" he said, chipper. Raven sighed.
"No. You're all going to die, and it's going to be my fault." she said, frustrated.
"If we didn't think there was a chance that we were gonna die, do you think we would go out there?" Beast Boy asked.
O.O
Raven managed to locate Pesadelo at an island a few miles away from the bunker. Hordes of shadowy creatures could be seen from at least a mile away, and Raven was starting to get nervous.
"Starfire! Beast Boy! Now!" Robin commanded. The alien and the boy nodded and dropped Robin on the island, zooming in after him. Raven followed close behind them, the sword still in her hands. They were greeted by an army of creatures, ranging in size and shape.
"Titans! GO!" Robin shouted. They instantly sprang into action. Starfire took on two huge, pig like beasts, blasting them with numerous starbolts. Robin slashed around his bo staff, dodging out of the way as the creatures tried to crush him. Cyborg blasted his sonic cannon in every possible direction, managing to take out at least one monster. Beast Boy and Raven, however were running past every one of them, trying to locate their puppeteer.
"Can you feel him?" Beast Boy shouted, as they narrowly dodged a falling tree.
"No." replied Raven, as she avoided being swiped by a large bear like creature. They ducked under a nearby tree, to avoid being spotted by another bird. Raven wasn't even remotely close, and she was already tired. Sword in hand, she closed her eyes and tried to slow down her heart rate.
"Want something to eat?" Beast Boy said, as he chewed on a piece of candy.
"You're the only person I know who would bring candy to a fight." Raven replied with a wry smile.
"Is that a yes?" Beast Boy replied with a smile. Raven rolled her eyes.
"I would if I wasn't so hungry." Raven said, grabbing a few pieces of chocolate. She stuffed them in her mouth and let the melt on her tongue. Beast Boy stood up from the ground and offered his hand to Raven.
"Ready?"
"Ready as I'll ever be." Raven replied, dusting her hands off and grabbing the sword.
"Alrighty then! Time to kick some butt!"
"More like stab some chests." Raven scoffed.
"That doesn't really have as nice of a ring to it." Beast Boy said as began running again.
"Shut up you." Raven said playfully, impaling a bird through the chest. She ducked underneath a log while Beast Boy flew above it in form of a small bird. Suddenly, a shadowy creature with the same features as the one from yesterday materialized in front of the two. Raven attempted to impale it, only to fall to the ground as it dodged her attack. Peeling herself off the ground, she wiped the dirt from her face and tried once again. This time, it wrapped it's tendrils around Raven's ankles and sword. Scowling, Raven summoned a nearby dead tree and threw it into the back of the creature, swinging out of the way to avoid being hit. It instantly recoiled and dropped both Raven and the sword. Taking advantage of it's weakened state, she stabbed it through the chest, grabbing an amazed Beast Boy's hand and running in a northwest direction.
"Where the-where the hell did you learn that?" Beast Boy exclaimed as he pulled her into a crevice of a tree to avoid being smashed in the face.
"I'm pretty good at improvising." she shrugged, stabbing an ogre creature in the chest. Pulling the sword close to her side, she began zig zagging through the trees with Beast Boy, to avoid being spotted. Now they were both running on a adrenaline, too hyped up to slow down.
"So you've been hiding ninja skills for years?" Beast Boy whispered as they hid behind another tree.
"They aren't 'ninja skills', Beast Boy." said Raven, rolling her eyes. Suddenly, she could feel a dark presence nearing them. Closing her eyes, she concentrated on finding him.
"What are you doing?" Beast Boy mumbled as Raven exhaled. Without another word, she stood up, grabbed his hand and sped north. She stopped once she reached a thickly wooded area, fog clinging to the trees.
"Why are we here?"
"Shh!" Raven commanded, taking a step closer. A centaur emerged from the trees, two small shadow creatures crawling creepily next to him. He slowly clapped, a demented smile on his face as he did so.
"Well child, it seems as if you've made it this far." he said. Raven scowled.
"But it seems, you've come in vain."
"How so?" Raven challenged, crossing her arms across her chest.
"You're going to die of course. You really thought you could stop me?" Pesadelo said mockingly. Raven rolled her eyes.
"Save the super villain dialogue for later." Raven growled, pulling out her sword.
"As you wish." he laughed, sending the creatures toward Beast Boy and Raven.
"You can't use a proxy!" Raven shouted, dodging a tentacle.
"There were no rules established." Pesadelo countered. That being said, Raven wildly swung around her sword, flying out of the way of tentacles. Beast Boy meanwhile, worked between being a cheetah and a humming bird, the cheetah for taking swipes and the hummingbird to dodge it's attacks. The parries must've gone on for a few minutes before Pesadelo began to get restless. It was a stalemate; no one was winning and no one was losing.
"Enough!" his voiced boomed. The creatures stopped and Raven and Beast Boy looked up at Pesadelo.
"Garfield Logan, I've seen your nightmares, care to relive them?" the centaur said. Suddenly, the creatures turned the a girl. A girl with long blonde hair and crystal blue eyes. A girl named Terra. She smiled at Beast Boy and blinked her eyes, waving to him. Beast Boy meanwhile, stared at the girl who looked exactly like Terra. The moment only lasted so long, however, as stone began to encase her body. Her expression turned from happy to scared and she reached out to Beast Boy.
"Help me!" she said, as the stone began to cover her body. Beast Boy hesitated, looking between Terra and Raven.
"Beast Boy, they're not real!" Raven said urgently.
"But she..."
"Is a nightmare. It's not real." Raven insisted. Taking a deep breath, he grabbed the sword in Raven's hand and plunged it through "Terra". It emitted a loud pitched screech and exploded into a million black shards. Sword still in hand, he plunged it through the other on, it also shattering. The centaur looked on, horrified. While he was distracted, Raven snatched the sword from Beast Boy's hand and ran at full speed at Pesadelo. He had other plans though, and knocked Raven over.
"Foolish girl. You don't have the guts." Pesadelo said as Raven picked herself up.
"I beg to differ." she hissed, plunging the sword through his heart. Pesadelo looked Raven straight in the eye before exploding into a billion black shards. Raven crumpled to the ground, exhausted, as Beast Boy came running toward her. He wrapped an arm around her shoulder and the two watched as black explosions lit the sky.
"So...next Friday night?" Beast Boy said hopefully, a playful grin on her face.
"Yeah. Next Friday night." Raven replied.
O.O
