I don't own the Teen Titans!
Friend to Foe
Raven shook her head, losing her connection to Shadow. She sighed, then turned to the two teams of Titans. ''I know where we have to go'' she said, grabbing their attention. ''Where?'' Robin asked. ''The library, it's where Trigon is planning his return'' Raven responded. The rest of the Titans nodded. ''Alright'' Nightwing began. ''Let's go'' he said. Raven, the two Starfires, along with both Beast Boys, flew into the air. Each Beast Boy carried a Cyborg, while each Starfire carried either Robin, or Nightwing. ''How do you know where to go?'' Nightwing asked Raven. ''I've been in contact with Shadow'' she simply answered. Nightwing nodded, silently. The old and run down library came into view. The Titans landed on the ground, walking up to the doors. They walked in. The library was cold and unwelcoming, dust covered every inch of the building. They made their way through all the passages, taking every twist and turn. Once they made it in the room where Trigon had first stepped foot in their dimension, they were met by thousands, if not millions, of demons. They screeched, lunging forward to attack. Raven opened a portal in front of the Titans, capturing some of the demons in a dimension far away. If not, sending them back to hell.
Shadow was chained down in the center of the room, up on the statue of Trigon's hand. ''You have no chance, Trigon'' she said. ''We will see'' he said to her in her head. Shadow looked down at the commencing battle. Demons had disappeared, defeated. As for the Titans, both teams, had hardly any wounds. Raven flew up to where Shadow was chained down, dodging and blasting demons every now and then. She landed next to Shadow and knelt down. ''I'll get you out of here'' she said, working on freeing Shadow from the chains. ''These chains are magical, they stop me from using my powers'' Shadow explained. ''And I see that Trigon did this himself'' Raven observed. ''Yes, he did, he wanted to make sure I couldn't escape'' Shadow said. 'It is time, dear daughter' Trigon told Shadow telepathically. ''It is time'' Shadow echoed, informing Raven. ''He's trying to gain access to my head again'' Shadow said. Raven took the warning, saying ''don't let him control you''. Suddenly, the chains vanished.
Raven was thrown to a wall. The Titans ran over to Raven. The demons retreated back towards the hand, where Shadow stood. ''It is time!'' Shadow boomed in a rather frightening voice. ''The portal will be opened! Trigon will take control of this miserable planet!'' she said. Shadow sat down in the lotus position, before levitating up into the air.
''The gem was born of evil's fire. The gem shall be his portal. He comes to claim, he comes to sire. The end of all things mortal!'' she recited. Red symbols appeared on her body, all the way from her head, to her ankles. The Titans watched with horrified expressions. Shadow became the portal right before their eyes. Trigon came through the portal. He turned towards the Titans and sent a wave of fire at them, knocking them unconscious. All they could here before they blacked out was ''This world is mine!''.
Afterwards
Raven groaned, cracking her eyes open a little. She sat up, bringing her hand to her head. She looked around. All she could see was demons, hellfire, red skies, and….what? She realized that people weren't stone, like the first time Trigon took over the world. Some lay on the ground, blood spilling beneath them. Others were alive, screaming or looking around for their families. The other Titans began to wake up and take notice of their surroundings.
''Not this again'' Beast Boy, the one from this reality, groaned. ''Come on, I mean, isn't there something better that guy has planned other than taking over the world? This is so boring'' he whined. All the Titans glared daggers at him. He sighed. ''I'll shut up now'' he said. ''Where's Shadow?'' Nightwing asked. ''Yeah, where is she?'' the other Cyborg asked. ''We'll find her, I can sense her near by'' Raven said.
''Then let's get going'' Nightwing said. They all stood up and followed Raven. She led them in the direction of Titans Tower. And upon seeing something different, they gasped. The familiar T shaped tower was gone. In it's place stood a castle. It was dark and gloomy. One could describe it as gothic. A sea of lava surrounded it, casting a slight glow over it. They flew over to it, some of the team members carrying the ones that couldn't fly. Upon closer inspection, they realized that corpses hung on either side of large wooden doors. And four demons guarded the palace, two on each side of the door. With a swipe of Raven's hand, they demons were gone. It was good timing, too, considering the demons were about to attack.
The Titans went through the large wooden doors and traveled through wide open halls. More bodies hung from the walls, some dripping blood, others, disturbingly enough, would struggle at their throats. Others were missing their heads or one or two of their limbs.
''Who dares to disturb me!'' a voice boomed. Both Beast Boys jumped, startled, earning annoyed glares. The Titans turned their attention to the front of the room, where a throne sat. It wasn't just any throne, for that matter. This throne was made of human bones and skeletons. A figure sat of the throne. On closer inspection, they saw that the figure was Shadow! She was holding a golden cup, which was filled with blood. She stood up, revealing she was wearing an entirely different outfit. She wore red, high heeled boots, along with black skin tight jeans with blood red colored stripes running up the sides. Her tube top was black and it looked like an animal shredded it. On the parts that looked shredded, it was colored blood red. There was a blood red and black collar around her neck that had the shredded print on them, along with two matching ones on both her wrists. The collars on her neck and her wrists were connected with a shredded blood red and black fabric that hung a little beneath her arms. Her hair, however, remained the same. Her earrings were silver and they resembled icicles. They were also as sharp as daggers. And for the final difference in appearance, four red and glowing demonic eyes showed on her face instead of amethyst ones.
She walked forward just a couple steps, her red eyes narrowing. Ten fire demons appeared beside her.
''Shadow, is that you?'' Nightwing asked. She placed her hands on her hips. ''Shadow? No, no. I'm not Shadow anymore, I'm the Reaper! One who brings death to however challenges it!'' she answered. She stood on a step, so she was just a bit taller than them. She looked down on her former friends and held up her hand, which had something in it that resembled black fire. It grew just a bit larger as she said ''and I do not take kindly to interruptions''.
