Sorry this update took so long. I had the idea for how I wanted it to go. And then I started writing... and writing... and writing... a little editing... more writing... suddenly, I found the chapter was over 10,000 words! Now I don't know about you guys, but I thought it was a little too long. So I separated it into two separate ones! This is going to be the first chapter. And the second one is already made. I'm just not adding it on until I get my next chapter for I'm Sorry done as well. That way, I can update both these stories at the same time.

Mailbox Time!

Invader Johnny: Eh, I don't really think of Raven as a goth sort of person really. I guess it's because of the episode Nevermore. Well speak of the devil... (laughs evilly, gives a bro hug).

RPGPersona: Don't think I'm having that problem with my laptop. Although my fanfiction app does have me relogin sometimes as well. (nods in understanding)

Bluedog197: It was something I saw an old author do for his reviewers. And I'm always looking to authors stories for how to please their readers. And I got the idea from him. Much like LamontCramston for replying to reviews when I read his story (Which is super awesome ;) ). Anyways, I'm so happy that that chapter made you happy. And that I posted it just right. That makes two great timings on my part. Let's see if I can hit for a third now! (Gives more cookies, and a Starfire death grip hug! Kidding, you don't die)

P.S.: Excellent guess! (Throws another batch of cookies)

Guest: Guessing this was you Persona. Only guest review I found so I'm 99.999999% positive. And I guess there is many different ways you could interpret what happened after the show. I just made a new one up to fit the story well. I hope you like the familiar/twisted landscape I made!

Santoramon: Evil. Me! Pssh, that's crazy talk there (Although I secretly want to kill Robin for taking so effing long to admit to Starfire). But that's in the past! Sadly, I don't think I could try adding an emotion as dangerous as that to the story. One, it'd be mainly out of character for the reserved empath to develop that emotion. And two, if she were to be added, I'm afraid things would become M Rated pretty darn quickly. Unless you had any ideas, than I'd likely give it a shot. (Gives a fist bump, and a cookie).

Remember, review what you think. And favorite/follow if you liked it! If you haven't already of course. Lastly, this is something new I'm going to try to keep track of my progress in a story.

Chapter Eight: Shattered Part One

And she was shocked to find she was in a place she knew all too well.

'Am I… in Nevermore?... my… Nevermore?'

Raven was standing on a giant floating rock. Surrounded by a great abyss. Red stars speckled all over it, as if there were snipers aiming all around her. Other rock islands like hers floating all around through the great abyss that was her mind. But something seemed rather off to Raven.

'Wait a moment. Trigon's influence no longer has any hold over me. The stars in my Nevermore are supposed to be white by now. Not red. So why would these stars still look the same as a couple years ago? Could there be a demonic presence in here or something?'

So she wasn't in her Nevermore afterall. The question was, whose Nevermore was she in?

Raven stepped forward, and found herself floating up a little in the air when she did. 'At least I know my powers still work.' She thought to herself. Having not used them once on her trip down memory lane (sorry, just had to use that).

Finding that she could still use her powers. Raven started to float towards the edge of the rocky island. Seeing if a path would appear for her, or if she would have to fly her way across this strange Nevermore.

As she neared, rocks flew from out of nowhere. Making a pathway for her to float over. At least this Nevermore also provided a path for her. It wouldn't have been necessary for her to stand on, but it did help to point the way to where she needed to go. So she floated off the island and down the path.

Raven followed the long, rocky pathway. Thinking to herself as she went.

'Now, I know this isn't my Nevermore. But if it follows the same guidelines, then there will be stone arches placed along the way that lead to the different realms here. I'll just have to assume for now that one of them is where Beast Boy is currently at.'

After about five minutes, Raven's hypothesis was proven correct. As an ancient stone archway appeared in her vision. She started to have a little bit of hope flare in her. And instead of suppressing it, she allowed it to fill her being. Who knew, maybe Beast Boy would be waiting for her right behind it. Maybe he was playing in the realm of Happiness, or with some weird Brave. A minute later, she was almost beneath the stone arch. Silently approaching it.

When she felt a familiar, yet something evil, presence in her empathic range.

She whipped her head around herself. Trying to find where exactly the presence that chilled her was coming from. And that was the odd thing, she just couldn't see what caused it at all. And the presence had faded as fast as it had came. Shrugging her shoulders, she went to move under the arch.

When it came back. Bigger and more ominous than before.

Raven stopped, and examined her surroundings again. Trying to find what was causing it again. While refusing to acknowledge the fear that was growing inside her. But she found nothing. The evil presence again disappearing.

'Where is that presence coming from. And why does it feel so evil, yet familiar?'

Cautiously, she took a step forward. She felt nothing this time. And then, she floated forward a little. Again nothing. Thinking that she must have been thinking things, she floated through the archway.

And that was when the ancient stone archway crumbled into many different pieces. Raven somehow managed to raise a dark shield around her in time. And the pieces fell into the abyss beneath her. She looked to her left and right. And found she had barely crossed underneath the now destroyed archway.

Instead of the pillars that had been there before. There was now a large, blood red demon mark on either side of her. A mark she hadn't seen in over a year. A mark that had meant the end of the world to her. The mark of her father.

The mark of Scath.

'What in Azar's name is that doing here of all places?' Raven thought to herself as she suppressed all the bad memories that came with the mark. The marks stayed for a few seconds longer. And then faded away on either side of her. But still leaving a cold feeling in the pit of her stomach.

Seeing the marks disappear didn't calm the fear Raven was starting to feel rising from both herself, and her emoticlones. Even though she had defeated Trigon the Terrible. Just seeing that mark was enough to bring up horrid memories of her past. Why would something like that be here deep in Beast Boy's mind?

She decided to continue going forward. Deeming that for some reason, it didn't seem important at the moment. And she floated past what remained of the broken archway. Floating over bits of debris that lay on the ground in front of her.

Surprisingly, the realm around Raven didn't change a bit. She was still floating in the middle of the floating path. With nothing having changed around her.

'This is rather odd. Normally, the first realm I encounter when I enter my Nevermore is Happy's. Yet, there isn't one here. Could it be because the stone archway back there collapsed? And now there's nothing to hold the realm together.'

Raven decided to float on forward. Thinking that maybe this Nevermore was just different. That there wasn't any room for the emoticlones here. It could explain why all of Beast Boy's were back where she had originally been. And the Nevermore she was in could just be in the middle of being made for them to live in.

'Help me?'

Raven stopped. That had sounded familiar to her for some reason. Something from deep within her own memory. She shrugged it off, continuing to float forward.

'Why?'

That made Raven stop. She did recognize that voice. "Happy, are you there?" She called out for the first time since entering the strange Nevermore. Raven's voice sounded strained from not using it for so long. But the voice she had heard sounded so much like Happy.

But wait, why would her emoticlone be in a Nevermore being made for Beast Boy? Could this have just been an area of his subconscious then? But why would Happy be here of all places?

At first, nothing happened. And Raven started to wonder if she was just getting paranoid. First she thought she saw the Mark of Scath, and now she was hearing her own emoticlones outside of her mind. Maybe the past few hours hadn't happened. Maybe she was just having some sort of crazy dream.

But then, in front of her, she saw a small floating speck of light. About the size of one of the star's in the distance. It was the same color as the doorway she came in through, with a touch of pink to it. It looked like something was going on in it, but she couldn't really tell. She got closer to it, and gently touched it with her index finger on her right hand. Wondering if the simple action would do anything.

Light suddenly flooded the area. Blinding enough to get Raven to close her eyes for a second. When she opened them, she gasped at what she saw.

She was in Happy's domain now. But instead of pink, thriving trees, there was dead, rotting trunks. Instead of grass, there was dead, moldy ground. Covered in dead, shriveled leaves and branches. In the distance, she saw what looked like a shriveled up strawberry laying down by the biggest tree of all. And in front of the tree, sat a dirty, pink cloaked emoticlone.

"Happy!" Raven jumped a little. As she turned, her heart stopped as she saw Beast Boy running towards her. She let out a smile at the sight of him. "Oh Azar, I'm so glad I finally-" Raven's voice stopped as Beast Boy ran right through her. As though she wasn't even there.

Raven turned around in shock to see Beast Boy running the short distance to the curled up emoticlone on the ground. Raven jogged over to try and figure out what was happening.

The emoticlone was face down, covered by her dirty pink cloak. Beast Boy reached for her and turned her over, only for him and Raven to gasp in shock at what they saw. There was claw marks, all over her body, and she was still bleeding out onto the ground beneath her. But it was Raven who was in the most shock. It was indeed Happy, her Happy, laying on the ground. Slowly dying from wounds to grievous for her to describe.

Raven reached out to Happy, hoping to provide some of her healing powers to her. But her magic didn't activate this time. And the hand she used to reach out only passed through Happy. As if she was only an illusion.

Raven was surprised to find that Happy was barely alive. She was barely breathing. Looking to be on the verge of death. While her face held a deep sadness so unlike her in it. Sadness, not pain.

As Raven watched, Happy slowly opened her dying, purple eyes as she focused on Beast Boy. One last bit of happiness filling them. Her face seeming to relax a little. Her mouth opened one last time.

"Why?"

And then… Raven saw her emoticlone breathe out. As her eyes closed. But then her body faded from view… along with the rest of the realm. Leaving Beast Boy and Raven alone on the stone path. All she could feel coming from him were waves of shock and sadness.

'Did I do this to her? Was this my fault?'

Beast Boy disappeared from her vision after his thought. Raven pulled her hand back.

The floating speck of pink tinged light was still dancing up in the air. In front of her at about eye level. Replaying what looked like the same scene in it over and over again.

'That must have been Beast Boy earlier. Does this mean that it was just another memory… But how? When I've already entered his subconsciousness.'

Despite that line of thinking. Raven couldn't help but to become a little excited at what she had seen. Beast Boy had come through here. She was finally on her way to find him. She could finally bring him back to the real world!

That was when she remembered what Happy had looked like in the memory. The emoticlone looking so much like her own. Yet so broken, and just fading away to nothing.

'Happy, are you okay in there?' She thought to herself in her mind.

A very shaken, scared, yet somewhat excited voice replied. Almost making Raven think it had been a mixture of Timid and Happiness. 'Yes Rae, I am okay in here… But I wish I could say the same for who I saw out there.'

Pause 'Rae… she looked so much like me... And the way she looked… so broken… how could a copy of me exist outside of your mind?'

Mentally sighs 'I don't know Happy. But however she got here, there was something else that inflicted all those injuries to her. And somehow, I have a feeling that Beast Boy went off to find out what it was.'

Knowledge spoke up. 'Raven, if he went off to find this creature. And we came to him while he was in a coma. Could that mean that whatever creature did this to Happy out there possibly has Beast Boy in its clutches?'

Pause to think. 'You could be right Knowledge. But we just can't assume that for now. I suggest we keep going forward and hope we find Beast Boy soon. I don't know if it's just me. But for some reason, this place just doesn't feel right to me.'

The emoticlones inside her head agreed. Silencing themselves for the moment.

Raven floated around the small pink star. Barely the size of a quarter. Not wanting to touch it a second time.

Not wanting to waste anymore time. Raven continued floating off down the stone path. Another stone archway appearing out in the distance. And more stones being continuously added to the path to point the way for her.

While behind her. Where the marks of Scath had been. A pair of blood red eyes appeared out of the darkness.

'Soon. I will make you pay for what you did to me.'

The evil voice faded away. Along with the pair of floating red eyes.

Meanwhile, back in Beast Boy's Nevermore

"Dudes! We have to do something at least!" Desperation was shouting to the crowd of emoticlones around him. Running around in circles in his light gray uniform as if he was a chicken that had it's head cut off.

"There's nothing we can do! Don't you get it! Garfield's mind is just too far gone for us to connect to him! If we could have in the first place, we wouldn't be waist deep in this huge mess!" Anger shouted out. Being quite angry as was usual for him.

"Since when have we ever given up on Raven before! Tell me, name one time that we've done that!" Brave shouted at Anger. His dark green uniform almost matching his skin tone. Being just a shade darker. Making him look like a tree trunk that had moss hanging off of it's bark.

"Well let's see. There was the time we blew her off twice for that traitor Terra. And then that whole deal with Trigon entering the world and Robin going with Slade to save her…" Jealousy went on and on. His dark black uniform making him look like a charred tree trunk that still had a little life in it.

"Enough already Jealousy! We all hear your griping about Robin every single time we see him through Garfield's eyes!" Irritation shouted in his face. His light orange uniform making him look like a ray of sunshine going through a canopy of leaves. Only Irritation wasn't as pleasant as a ray of sunshine. As he and Jealousy started getting in each other's faces as they argued.

"Why did Raven have to go in there? Why couldn't she have stayed out here where it was safe?" Timid said sadly. Missing her and fearing for her at the same time. She had been gone for so long now, and he was on the verge of breaking down again. Love walked over, comforting his fellow emoticlone.

"It's okay Timid. We know Raven is strong. Heck, she's way stronger than we give her credit for. If she was to simply let her emotions go, she would have the potential to destroy the planet… so strong… so beautiful." Both Love and Timid sighed. Lost in daydreams of Raven as chaos spiraled all around them. While their worst enemy was in the middle of possessing Garfield. And where they'd likely be next. But for now, the two were thinking on things much more relaxing and beautiful at the moment.

"At least I got to spray on her for once. I hope she still has that smell on her when she finally reaches Garfield. It would serve her right for all the times she threw us into the bay." Rude said out loud, letting out a burp after he finished his last sentence.

The emoticlones continued to bicker amongst themselves. Beast Boy slowly losing his green skin color as each second passed. As he laid on his back in the middle of them. Unaware of what was happening around him. (Why the hell did Beast Boy have to have so many emoticlones! He's an emotional guy, that's why!)

"ENOUGH!"

Everyone stopped talking. Looking in shock at the yellow uniformed emoticlone standing in the middle. Above the body of their master. He tweaked with his glasses a little before continuing in a calm voice.

"As I see it. We only have two options left to us at this point. Either one, we can all just continue to stand here. Bickering amongst ourselves like idiots. While Raven in there pointing to Garfield's skull, walks into the hands of our most hated enemy."

Knowledge stopped talking for a moment. Checking to see if he had everyone's attention. Sloth was snoring in a hammock behind everyone. But other than that, he had everyone else on him.

"Or two, we can stop arguing with each other. And try to work together to come up with a way to help out Raven before it's too late." He continued in his calm voice.

There was dead silence. Besides the sound of snoring and the wildlife around them. You know, bees buzzing in search of flowers. Birds flying in search of their nests. Grasshoppers making music with their legs.

And then. There was the sound of chuckling. And then full out laughing. Everyone turned to see who it was. Only to see Anger doing something he rarely ever did. He was clutching his stomach as he was bent over. Full on laughing at what Knowledge had said.

"My gods, Knowledge. Did you have have a word with Funny before this! Because you just told the best joke ever!" He said, continuing to laugh at something the other emoticlones, including Happy, acttually found quite serious. And not in the least bit funny.

"You must be an even bigger loser than I thought! Do you honestly expect us to come up with a way for us to travel out of this place! Much less, to his mind when it's deactivated! I mean geeze, Hope usually thinks of anything to get me to crack up in a situation like this! But y-you-" He couldn't continue. He was laughing so hard.

That was, until Knowledge stepped forward. Weaving his way through the crowd of emoticlones until he was standing in front of him. He raised his hand up.

'Slap!'

Anger's face, as the other emoticlones found, was quite comical. After they had gotten over their shock of course. It was all screwed up in shock. A bright red hand print appeared on the left side of his face. Matching the uniform he was wearing.

"You. Shut up." Knowledge said in a commanding tone. Not a trace of calm in it. It was almost like he and Anger had switched roles or something.

Anger was still in shock. Unable to believe what had just happened. As he dumbly nodded his head. And got down on his knees. Looking oddly like a defeated puppy who had been chewed out by it's mother.

Knowledge took a deep breathe. Walking back towards the center of the group. "Now, with that out of the way, does anyone have any ideas as to reawaken Garfield's mind from out here? And make a connection strong enough to bring him and Raven out of his subconsciousness?" He asked.

"Aren't you supposed to be his Knowledge?" Rude asked in a rather rude tone in the back.

Knowledge started to rub his forehead. First Anger, and now Rude was acting up. Both of them could be a rather big headache at times."I only know what he knows Rude. And he doesn't even know we exist as far as I know. And this is the first time where something like this has happened before. So I'm asking all of you here for ideas." He said out of frustration.

"And what makes you think any of us idiots will know then! Do you just think that one of us could just have the magical answer on hand!" Rude yelled back in a mock reply.

Before Knowledge could respond. Anger finally seemed to snap out of his shock. Knowledge had dared to slap him! That was something one girl did to another to provoke them! (Read this from a TheForceIsStrongInThisOne story between Terra and Raven. Felt to good to use for this one)

And if this was Knowledge's way of both shutting him up, and insulting him! He had one, angry thing coming his way!

A deep snarl came from his throat. As he got up from his knees. His own Anger finally pushed over the limit by his irrational thinking. Made worse by the fact that he was the embodiment of anger and hatred. The other emoticlones around him backed off, except one. As Anger started to transform.

He grew in size. His skin changing from green to the red he had been wearing. Thick muscles grew underneath his skin. Legs and arms thickening to the size of hundreds of years old tree trunks. His fangs lengthened and curved out of his mouth. Making him look like a Saber toothed tiger. The last thing to change being the mane of flowing red hair that grew out of his head. Anger's eyes becoming pure whites without a real hint of a pupil to be seen.

The red Beast let out a loud roar of anger. Ready to pummel the insignificant yellow uniformed weakling into the ground in front of it. A clear path to it now that all these other its around it had gotten out of the way. Fear coming off of every single one of them. The most being around Fear himself. Who was this close to peeing his dark gray uniform.

Most of the emoticlones were thinking one thing. 'He's as screwed as Miley Cyrus's career.' (Yeahhhhhhhh)

Others were thinking other things. 'I wonder if Anger will torture him first before he moves in for the kill.'

The only one not thinking of the topic at hand was Sloth. Napping away in his hammock. Dreaming about himself. Napping away in a hammock. (Would his dream self's dream self also be having a dream about sleeping in a hammock?)

The Red Beast stepped forward. It's target clearly being the yellow pest in front of it. Looking calm and collected. But ready to bolt if need be.

Just when it seemed Anger was ready to charge. A white gloved hand touched it's left side. And got absorbed into it. Along with the rest of the emoticlone that had touched him.

The red of the Beast faded back into what looked like a lighter red. With some patches of fur looking as white as snow on it's chest and mane. A soft look coming onto it's brutish face.

The angry roar slowly turned into a soft whimper. The anger draining out from it as Love took it's place. It still moved forward, but moved past Knowledge. Hovering over its master's body. It licked the ground by his master's head. The area she had been standing last. The area where her scent still clung to the ground.

'Raven.'

All the emoticlones had stepped back when Anger had transformed. But now, seeing Love had added himself to it. They actually stepped forward out of curiosity. Having never seen this happen before.

Happy skipped forward, along with, ironically, Curiosity in a sky blue uniform. Both slowly reached out and touched the Beast at the same time. Happy's to it's left shoulder. Curiosity to it's right shoulder.

They to were both absorbed. The Beast changed colors again from light red to a mixture of red, white, and blue. The red still a major part, but the other colors adding a multi colored tinge to it.

The Beast also looked much more laid back. Even having a smile on it's face. A green butterfly flew through the air. And the Beast followed it with a look of child like wonder on it's face. All the other emoticlones were standing around him now. But his curiosity was on the butterfly in front of it.

The butterfly landed on it's nose. Tickling it in just the right way. And the Beast let out a giant yet happy sneeze, covering Rude in a shower of mucus. Making all the emoticlones laugh at the sight.

"Gross! You stupid, freaking furball! Do you know how long it takes to wash these clothes off in a place where washers don't exist!" He shouted. Coming forward to kick the Beast. Only, when his foot connected to it's leg, he to was absorbed.

Unfortunately, not before he could say one last thing.

"No! Don't trap me in there with all those idiots!" And then he was fully absorbed. The Beast's color scheme rearranging again to accommodate the new emoticlone. Along with a flash of what looked like something dark coming off of the Beast.

It didn't go unnoticed by a certain emoticlone. 'Strange. That looked a lot like…'

Suddenly, an idea formed in Knowledge's head. And finally, he let out a smile. Hope finally seeming to make an appearance for once. Which was strange, since he had been standing in his light purple uniform by Brave the whole time. He turned to face the remaining emoticlones. A smile on his face.

"Guys, I think I have an idea."

As he went over his plan, he gave them all the details to how it'd work. And as he did, the other emoticlones finally started to smile as well. Hope filling them all as well as they thought through the plan.

"Someone go wake up Sloth. We're going to need everyone of us for this to work." Knowledge said after he finished. Looking towards the Beast that looked to be trying to say something. Most likely a bunch of cuss words from Rude's influence. More Black specks coming off it's fur that disappeared as it hit the ground by the pale green/almost gray Beast Boy.

Some of the emoticlones went to Sloth. The others to The Beast. Absorbing themselves into it.

Knowledge stood in the middle. He knew what he was suggesting was a long shot. Most likely to fail, or even backfire on them all. But that was what Garfield was known for. Something he accredited to himself. Was coming through with a way when all seemed lost.

'Don't worry Raven, we'll be there real soon if this works. Just get to Garfield so this will work.'

Author's Notes:

Raven is in her Nevermore. Or at least, what looks like a good copy of it. What's going on with Beast Boy's emotions though? And will Raven be able to make it to Beast Boy before the demon catches her?

Till Next Time
