Chapter 10: The True Way of Getting Strong
On the alternate dimension Earth, a floating city with golden towers and orange sky floated peacefully. Deep in the center of the city, where a huge golden temple stood and this temple was built for the founder of this city and this temple. This city was Azarath, home to the Teen Titans Raven, who left the Teen Titans a few days ago, and the temple was the Temple of Azar, founder of Azarath and the Temple of Azar.
In the chamber deep inside the Temple of Azar, a group of hooded adults gathered around a huge mirror, the mirror showed a short video. In the video showed a white-hair tall man wearing a red robe fighting a teenager in a green uniform that looked the uniform that Raven wore, only that it was a tracksuit instead of a leotard, the gloves were black and covered the entire hand, it didn't have a golden chain.
"As you wish" said the man in the red rode. The man's skin then turned from pale to grey, his eyes became red and he grew fangs.
"Strange" said one of the hooded men wearing a green hood in the crowd suddenly "I thought that we have extinguished Brother Blood's vampire cruse." The man known as Brother Blood, was the apprentice of the most feared person of all Azarathians, this person was known as the demon overlord, Trigon, father of Raven.
"We did manage to turn him back into human, but some traces of his vampire side still remains. So that is why he can still turn into that "Count Dracula" said one of person of the hooded crowd only this voice belonged to a female and the female was wearing an orange robe.
Just then, the vampire look Brother Blood rushed toward the green teenager but suddenly, the teen turned into a fiery lion and jumped onto Brother Blood. But Brother Blood lifted up the fiery lion and threw it to the wall, but before the lion could make contact with the stone wall, the lion turned into a Pteranodon before landed back into the ground peacefully.
""Nice try, Beast Boy. Now if you will excuse Me." said Brother Blood. The robe of Brother Blood became grey skin, his ears grew longer, hi eyes became dark and he grew demonic wings. Brother Blood had turned into a demonic bat. He flew into the nearest, but the teen known as Beast Boy wasn't going to let him get away that easily. He turned back into Pteranodon and pursuit Brother Blood. Then lightning bolts, laser bolts and red hot flames were shot from Beast Boy. The beam attack hit Brother Blood, forcing Brother Blood to turn back into human and dropped back into the ground.
"That boy is no normal fighter, he can learn our magic in just three days, I say that its way too fast for us." said a yellow hooded man. "Yes, that Beast Boy could learn magic in just a few days time. I could say it is a miracle." replied a purple hooded female.
"YOU ARE STARTING TO ANNOY ME!" shrieked Brother Blood. He then muttered some demonic words which Beast Boy recognized it was the "Shockwave Spell" he quickly cast energy shields around him and the other teenagers. A huge shockwave rocked the chamber but because Beast Boy managed to shield him and the other teenagers so they were unharmed.
"Wow, I never knew that he know about the "Shockwave Spell" not even Raven know about that!" said a blue hooded man.
"Clever, Beast Boy. But you will soon crumble before my master's power!" shouted Brother Blood. He muttered some words and instantly grew into 40 feet tall. He then put a foot on to Beast Boy but Beast Boy managed to put his hand up to resist Brother Blood's foot.
"How could he still resist Brother Blood's powers?" asked a cyan hooded female. "Just watch." replied the blue hooded man.
"Ha, do you know that you have nothing left expect your freaky friends? They don't care about you, they never laughed at your jokes, they never like you, and they only accept you because they are freaks! Especially Raven, she always hate you, when you always near her, she just push you away or throw you to a wall. She never laughed at you jokes, she thinks that you are so immature and stupid. Remember what words that she spoke to you before she left? Why should I stay with you annoying around? Because of you, I'm leaving! Good Bye! Beast Boy! Even though you loved her, she never loves you back! Why should you side with your friends, why not join me and my master?" taunted Brother Blood.
"Wow, he still resists it, very impressive." said the red hooded female.
"I disagree with you, Blood!" shouted Beast Boy as his body started glowing in rainbow color.
"Hmmmm, interesting, his power increased in just 2 seconds." said the cyan hooded female.
The rainbow color on Beast Boy glow stronger, then a white vortex opened in the center of the chamber. Then a giant white raven rose from the vortex and rushed toward the giant Brother Blood, knocking him off Beast Boy in the progress. The white raven then went to Beast Boy, using its wings to warp around Beast Boy. Beast Boy then glow in a white aura. After the white aura recede, Beast Boy's uniform's color changed from green to white.
"Wow, he gained the white robe just in a few days, he was amazing! He was even better than Raven!" said the yellow hooded man. "Yes, I agreed, even though that Raven learnt some very powerful magic, she is still wearing the same blue uniform. It is way too slower then Beast Boy." said the red hooded female.
They all turned back to the mirror to continue the observation, Beast Boy was firing a bolt of white energy as he matched toward Brother Blood. "They are my friends and family!" shouted Beast Boy as he fired another bolt toward Brother Blood "I don't care if they don't laugh at my jokes! They are still my friends." Beast Boy fired another bolt "I love Raven! I don't care if she always pushed away. I love her and I will never stop!" Beast Boy fired a larger bolt which immobilized Brother Blood and caused him to lose all his powers. "AHHHHHHHH!!!!" shouted Brother Blood. "For nearly 700 years you terrorized the Earth. The Earth is not yours or Trigon. It belongs to the people that live here! We will protect it no matter what! If you think that you can take over the Earth then you are wrong! Anyone who dares to terrorize the Earth is not welcome here! Brother Blood!" shouted Beast Boy.
Beast Boy then lifted into the air. White energy started to cover Beast Boy.
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" shouted Beast Boy. The white energy that covered Beast Boy instantly turned into a white raven that transformed normal Beast Boy into White Beast Boy. The white raven rushed toward Brother Blood, before destroying Brother Blood.
"Okay, that is all we got from this mirror, Azar." said the red hooded female toward the female wearing a white robe with golden stripes on it. This woman is the founder of Azarath and the Temple of Azar, the powerful Azar.
"Good, I must say that Beast Boy was the only one who could banish Brother Blood, we may defeat Trigon by ourselves but Brother Blood could only be banished by a person that had love inside the heart. We all don't really love someone but he did, that is why he gained that white uniform in a short time." said Azar.
Azar then turned toward a woman with a white robe, only that it didn't have golden stripes. "Arella how is Raven?" asked Azar. Arella was the mother of Raven. She was also the one who gave Beast Boy his uniforms.
"She is fine. But she kept saying bad things about Beast Boy during her sleep. I suggest that we kept the secret about White Beast Boy on ourselves. She will be upset when she found out that Beast Boy had got the white cloak. I will send another letter to him to thank him for banishing Brother Blood. Now we all are free from Trigon." said Arella.
"Okay Arella, you will send the letter as soon as possible." replied Azar.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"So everybody lets get the party started!" shouted Cyborg happily.
It was already one hour since the defeat of Brother Blood and the Blood Brotherhood and the Beast Boy's transformation from normal Beast Boy to White Beast Boy. All the Titans expect Raven went to the Main Titans Tower to celebrate the great victory. The Tower was filled with food, drinks and many video games. Cyborg, Aquald, Mas y Menos, Speedy, Kid Flash, Herald and Jericho played an exciting racing game called "Need for Speed Underground 2", Starfire, Argent and Bumblebee kept cheering them. Cyborg was excellent in racing while Speedy was the worst. After they raced for 20 rounds, Cyborg won 15 rounds, Aquald won 2 rounds, and Kid Flash, Herald and Jericho each won 1 round while Speedy and Mas y Menos won 0 rounds. Speedy was furious but Mas y Menos remained calm.
"Hymph! I won nothing!" shouted Speedy angrily.
"Hey, we won fair and square." complained Aqualad.
"Yes, it you lose you will try again." replied Kid Flash.
Cyborg then restarted the game and the boys played again.
Meanwhile, Starfire, Bumblebee and Argent went to the kitchen to get some food to eat. Redstar and the other Teen Titans ate food and talked about White Beast Boy's transformation.
"That was amazing! I thought that only Raven can have the white cloak but Beast Boy got it!" said Hot Spot.
"His power is even greater than mine." said Red Star.
"Of course! He's white cloak means he is one of the most powerful mage in Azarath!" said Bumblebee who joined the group chat.
The only person who didn't join the party was White Beast Boy; he stood near the window and stared at the beautiful night sight of Jump City. Robin was chit chatting with the other Titans but when he saw that White Beast Boy wasn't joining the party he got up from his seat and went to White Beast Boy.
"Hey Beast Boy" said Robin friendly.
White Beast Boy turned around, before smiling and said "Hello Robin."
"So what are doing staring at the city?" asked Robin.
"I was communicating with Azar. Azar was the founder of Azarath and one of the teachers of Raven. She is also the one who sent the white raven that gave this white cloak." said Beast Boy.
"I want to ask Beast Boy, your cloak is white like when Raven fought Trigon with it. Are their any difference?" asked Robin
"Yes, the white cloak that Raven wore during her fight with Trigon meant that she got a temporary power boast. My white cloak meant that I was one of the strongest of all Azarathian mages; it also means my new powers were permanent." explained Beast Boy in a monotone.
"Wow, so how do you get that white cloak. I mean, I saw that Raven rarely gets a white cloak, she only got it during the Malchior accident and when fighting Trigon. How do you get so strong in just barely a week?" asked Robin.
"Well Robin, I think that I might need a book about it." said Beast Boy, before teleport a thick book in his hands.
He opened the book about Azarathian mages. He read a page, before saying "Okay Robin, I think I found an explanation about it."
"Okay, please explain it to me." asked Robin.
"Very well. According to this book, all Azarathians were not very strong when they were born; they trained at a very young age. When they finished their training, they will start to help other people with their powers. The ones who learnt very powerful magic will became one of the Monks of Azarath when the former one retired. However, even with very powerful magic, they still are not very strong. They may have learned some powerful magic but they still are not the most powerful ones in Azarath. The Azarathians with white cloaks are the strongest; their powers were extremely strong which can even out power the most powerful magic spell. They got white cloaks because they love someone; love is the key to make a person powerful, even we humans. Love is a very strong emotion which could make a loved person to sacrifice to protect something they fight for. Arella also wore a white cloak because she loves Raven that is why she is stronger than Raven." explained Beast Boy.
"Can just Raven love her mother so she can get strong?" asked Robin.
"A very good question Robin. Azarathians could not get stronger when they loved the persons who have a blood relationship with them. They will only get stronger when they loved someone who didn't have a blood relationship. Like I love Raven that is why I got my white cloak." explained Beast Boy.
"Wow you love Raven even though she always pushes you away or hurt you." said Robin.
"When someone loves other person, they will continue to love them even if they broke their hearts. Like I love Raven even though she always pushes me away. You may think that I love Terra but that is wrong. Terra is just a crush that is why I don't like her when she betrayed us." explained Beast Boy.
"Well Beast Boy, now I will explain how I keep hoping when Trigon came to Earth. It was you who gave me the willing to continue hope. It is because you always try to lighten the team, like you tell jokes in our spare time and when in our battle. You gave hope to us. You gave to hope to me so that I can still be strong when Trigon came. I read about your past and I know that your parents always torture you, you lost your parents, you been kidnapped by criminals, you almost been killed by your family's lawyer, you have been betrayed by your first girlfriend, you were forced to quit the Doom Patrol after Mento was angry, you have been betrayed by Terra, you always been push away by Raven but you still hope for more. You still hope for more. You still hoped for continuing to live. You hoped that the team will be happy. You even dared to hope to love Raven. You are even hopeful person than Raven." said Robin
Beast Boy smiled after Robin said those words "Thanks Robin, those words are very good. I learned that there is still hope even in your darkest hour. I suffered a lot worse than Raven but I still continued to live on. This wasn't the end, it was a new and bright beginning for me" said Beast Boy. "But I just hope that Raven will understand the true way of getting strong or else she will still wearing that blue cloak and never return. I just hope that she will love me back."
"Well, maybe your wish will come true one day Beast Boy. Raven may come back one day and you will confess your feelings for her." said Robin.
"Thanks Robin, I gonna need it" said Beast Boy. "Let's join the party Beast Boy" said Robin. Beast Boy nodded as he and Robin joined the party.
