It seems that it is only a faithful few that have stayed with this story, so this is going to be for them. But before the next course begins I wish to dedicate this chapter to BeastBoyforpres052 since she was kind enough to give me an idea for the chapter. And don't worry, the action is coming soon.

I found myself in a darkness that burned against my bones. There was no sign of life or anything to indicate that this was not what I feared. What was it? I was being...questioned...by Satan.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Again I felt my bones burn. No...that isn't quite accurate. I felt myself burn. I felt myself being ripped from existence and just when I was about to be released I would be pulled back into a spirit that felt as if it was one large puss-filled wound.

"You failed to achieve your objective. And I do not tolerate failure." Another tear from reality and I was shoved back into the darkness.

Gasping in pain I made my case carefully, "The Green one mentioned a name. After that I woke up here. I don't know why he affected me so much."

Satan seemed to pause at this. "What name did he mention?"

I breathed a little easier and told him the fateful answer, "Garfield Mark Logan." Immediately I felt the darkness burn like a sun and I knew that whatever came next was not going to end well.

Burning. Different this time though. It felt as if I was losing all those things that made me weak. It felt as if I was a butterfly emerging from the cocoon to become what I was meant to be from the start. I felt myself...being born again.

"Rise my rider! Go and strike them down that He will not have them to call his own!"

I bowed in reverence and said a simple, "Yes master." before I began my ascent to Earth once more.

(Meanwhile with Beast Boy)

"Man and I though Raven's room was creepy." Right now Beast Boy was wandering around my home trying not to lose his lunch at the sight of the severed heads hanging from tree branches like apples.

Step after step the scenery remained the same with no exit in sight. Of course this drove Beast Boy crazy and he shouted to the sky, "Is there any way out of this nightmare?"

"There is one way..." Beast Boys reaction was less than eloquent. "Holy POPROCKS!" He spun around to be met with something that caused him to pause and blink several times to assure himself that what he saw was real. And when the person before him did not vanish he forced himself to accept that he had not lost his mind.

Before him stood a being clothed in a white robe that touched the ground and had sleeves that enveloped his arms. Currently he had them joined together, giving him an appearance similar to Brother Blood, but what was most striking was that his hair was a gold flame and his eyes were like sapphires. Not the kind of person you expect to run into in a garden of death.

"Who are you?" The stranger smiled. "I am known as Lucifer. The same name that Cruor's master used to go by." Beast Boy held off an involuntary shudder as he eyed this newcomer warily.

"You said there was a way to get out of here?" The stranger nodded. Beast Boy squared his shoulders and asked, "What do I need to do?" The stranger smiled at his courage, he may be able to win after all.

"All you need to do is answer a question. If you answer truthfully you will be sent back to your world. But if you answer falsely you will remain here forever." Beast Boy gulped at this information, but nonetheless he squared his shoulders and waved for the being to go ahead. He smiled and asked, "Why do you want to go back?"

Beast Boy didn't even hesitate, "To save Raven." It was obvious that his answer had pleased the being and he broke the sleeves apart to reveal a small white crystal.

"This is a portion of God's power that he gave to me for an emergency such as this. You will be teleported to the medical room of the Tower. Once you have been transported there place the crystal to your lips. Then once it is finished being absorbed into your lips you are to awaken Raven."

Beast Boy donned a smirk. "This isn't how I pictured it, but I'll enjoy it nonetheless." The being chuckled and in a flash Beast Boy was gone.

"Soon brother. Soon we will meet again."

And so it is that another chapter ensues for It Ends in Blood. Again I will thank BeastBoyforpres052 for the idea. Thank you so much! And a new character is in play. What role will he have? Just wait and see. But no matter what happens rest assured that it does indeed end in blood.
