Revival
As soon as they had returned to the tower they had all crashed into their own beds, asleep before their heads hit the pillows, thankful that the quest was now over. The next day they had gone out to go to their favorite video store to find that it was closed along with several other places that they had used to frequent.
"Nothing stays the same forever." Shinku sighed.
"Unfortunately." BB sighed as suddenly something large and white rose from the ground.
"That was never here before." Raven remarked as the six of them got ready to fight. The creature then reached over and touched a steel garter and transformed into steel as well. Leaping into attack they soon found that the foe could transform into whatever it touched and was sending each of them flying. After being tossed into a light post BB stopped when he thought he saw someone he recognized but Shinku couldn't dwell on it as he activated Kage To Hi Ryu and tried to overpower the foe but it somehow managed to block all of his attacks.
"Now I'm mad." Shinku growled as he unleashed the Dragons Roar onto the foe sending it into a liquid cement pile, that it transformed into.
"Oh. Crud." Shinku cursed as he used the dragons' flight to dodge the liquid extending arms that were chasing him, and caught Beast Boy as he reentered the fray. Raven quickly used her powers to stop the liquid assault and throw the creature into a fire hydrant. As soon as it was surrounded it used the water on itself to turn into water and escape into the sewer. Ripping off the drain covering the titans went after it, except BB who wasn't noticed missing until later. After searching for hours they returned to the tower all of them miserable.
"Next time a creature goes into the sewer, I say we just let it go." Cyborg complained as they saw Beast Boy on the terminal looking for someone.
"Beast Boy, where were you?" Robin asked.
"You guys are not going to believe this!" he exclaimed.
"You better have a good reason for bailing on us." Cyborg said.
"What was so important that you couldn't stay with the team?" Robin asked, going into leader mode.
"We could of used you assistance." Starfire said.
"Well?" Raven asked as Shinku just waited for the changeling to answer.
"I saw Terra!"
"What? You saw your petrified girlfriend walking about?" Shinku asked, getting worried.
"What did she say?" Robin asked.
"I didn't get a chance to talk to her. She was across the street, and with the creature…"
"You sure it was her?" Raven asked.
"I'm positive." BB said.
"Maybe you just thought you saw her." Cyborg said comfortingly.
"Sometimes you want to see something that isn't there." Robin remarked calmly.
"I did see her! She was real, and her statue is gone!"
"How could it be? The girl turned to stone." Cyborg remarked.
"Perhaps one of Raven's spells?" Starfire asked looking at Raven.
"I tried everything I could. Nothing worked, I even had Shinku double check my spells."
"I even cast a few of my own and nothing." Shinku nodded.
"None of my chemical analyses, led to an answer either." Cyborg continued "None of this is making any sense."
"It doesn't have to make any sense. Terra's back, that's all that matters." Beast Boy retorted as the alarm went off.
"It's the creature. We'll talk about this later." Robin said as they turned to leave.
"You may not care about her, but Terra's out there somewhere. And I'm going to find her!" Beast Boy shouted as he left the tower.
"You guys go deal with the creature. I want to look into something." Shinku said.
"What?" Cyborg asked.
"Sometimes things are connected in the most peculiar ways. That creature is nothing that I have ever come across, or any of my predecessors either. If Beast Boy is right and Terra is alive, then there might be a connection." Shinku said as he headed towards his room. For two days straight Shinku poured over the books that he had until finally he found it.
"Good gods above." He whispered as reread what he had found. Grabbing his communicator he called Beast Boy.
"Have you found her?!" he shouted.
"Yeah. But she doesn't remember anything, she doesn't want to." He sighed.
"Take her with you. By force if necessary! She is the only one that can stop that creature!" He yelled "I'll explain everything once we regroup with the others but we need Terra NOW!" With that Shinku opened a portal to the other Titans and arrived to see the creature was now made of fire.
"Shinku!" Raven yelled as she tried to throw the something at the creature.
"Don't kill it!" Shinku yelled "Just keep it here!"
"What are you talking about?" Robin yelled.
"That thing is called Skotadi Anamniseis. A Greek creature that comes from gods that have chosen or are forced to become mortals." Shinku explained.
"Gods?" Cyborg exclaimed.
"Yeah, gods." Shinku nodded.
"Then what god does this belong to?" Raven asked.
"It belongs to a demi-god. Terra." Shinku answered as he dodged a flaming punch.
"Friend Terra is this god-demi?" Starfire asked.
"Yeah. She's a daughter of Chronos, a Titan, his offspring often have powerful abilities, making them either heroes or demi-gods. Terra's powers before were only the standard starting point, introducing one element at a time. This thing has complete control over her powers, but is relying on only instinct so it isn't that powerful. We need to keep this thing occupied until Beast Boy and Terra arrive." Shinku explained as he used his magic to create a crossbow and start firing magic bolts into the creature. It was several minutes later when Beast Boy landed in pterodactyl form carrying a struggling Terra in his claws.
"About time." Shinku grunted as he grabbed her arm and dragged her over.
"Let me go!" she shouted.
"Now listen to me, and listen well. That thing over there exists because of you." He said pointing at the creature "It is your dark memories, your dark past that has created this monster. Now you are going to help us stop it, because if we kill it we kill you." Letting what he said sink in she finally spoke.
"What do I do?"
"Call it back. Call back your memories and powers, call back what belongs to you." Shinku ordered. Letting her focus the creature suddenly stopped attacking and faced her with its head tilted to the side in confusion. After a few moments more it walked over and looked at Terra and with a grunt it head butted her and was absorbed into her skull, with her screaming.
"What's going on?!" Beast Boy shouted.
"She is reclaiming what is hers, the screams are from her own dark memories tearing this new self apart. She will be returned, with both memories, and with new powers." Shinku explained.
"What do you mean new powers? And what was that creature?" Beast Boy asked.
"To sum up what was already said. That thing was the embodiment of all of her memories and her true powers, Terra is the daughter of Chronos, the Titan." He said as Beast Boy looked confused. Soon the screams stopped and her eyes opened.
"Beast Boy?" she asked.
"I'm here Terra!" he exclaimed as he knelt down next to her.
"I remember everything. Why did you make me remember?"
"I did. It was the only way to save the city and to bring back the sixth Titan." Shinku explained as he opened a portal back to the tower "Hate me if you want, but don't blame Beast Boy for what I forced him to do." With that final word Shinku locked himself in his room, and stayed there until the morning when Raven entered through the portal.
"Why are you locking yourself in here?" she asked.
"Because I destroyed a young life."
"You made a hard choice. You could have destroyed that thing, and killed her like you said would happen."
"That might have been a kinder fate than the one I just damned her to."
"What do you mean?"
"The path I have put her on is a long one, one that will be torturous at times because of what she is. She has now her full god powers, with no control over them."
"Then teach her control. Do all you can to make her life easier. Besides nothing in life should be easy." Raven grinned.
"How was I ever fortunate to get such a wise girl?" he asked as he kissed her.
"Simple, you are an amazing kisser." She laughed as she kissed him again. Grinning he let her return to her room and left to find Terra standing outside his door.
"Hi." He said, looking at the floor awkwardly.
"Hi. Beast Boy and the others explained to me what you did. I wanted to thank you." Terra said.
"Don't thank me just yet. Your new powers are extremely unstable, so I'm going to have to teach you how to use them, and it will not be pretty." Shinku grinned.
"Ok. If it will help cancel out all of the bad I have done then I will train like my life depends on it." Terra promised as she left.
"You have no idea how much it will." Shinku muttered as he walked to the living room.
