Unlucky chapter 13 is here and like I said before it will based on the episode "The Prophecy". For those who have seen it, you know what will happen. For those who haven't, well here is your chance. Like I also said before I will make changes so it's not all the same. So hopefully you all will like it.
It wasn't easy finding this, but I'm glad I did. I also want to thank my friend Wolf2 for his help on the story. I appreciate it my friend and thanks to those who left reviews. I don't own anything of Teen Titans, just my OC. Let the new chapter, begin!
The Prophecy part I
Jump City
In an abandoned part of the city Slade is standing on top of one of the buildings shooting off fireballs and setting everything on fire.
"I do love my job," said Slade as his hand ignites on fire.
He goes to fire another blast when his hand is hit by Cyborg's sonic blast. He looks over and sees the Teen Titans.
"Vandalism?" said Robin. "I'd say you hit an all-new low."
"The Teen Titans. Nice of you to drop by" said Slade. "But as you can see, I'm right in the middle of something. I'll deal with you in a few minutes."
"No," said Robin as Beastboy morphs into an animal and the others get ready. "We'll deal with you now, Slade."
"You can't always have what you want, Robin," said Slade as he fires an attack on the ground causing a large fire to erupt and it gives Slade the chance to escape.
"Titans! Split up and take him down!" Robin ordered as the Titans go in different directions.
As the Titans split up Raven goes behind a building where Anna getting together her weapons.
"Let's go," said Raven.
"I'll catch up with you in a bit," Anna replied as she puts her weapons away. "If the others or Slade sees you with me they'll figure something is up."
Raven knew Anna was right. If they wanted to get rid of Slade, they'll need the element of surprise on their side.
"Be careful and don't do anything crazy," said Raven as she takes off flying.
A small smile crept on Anna's face with what Raven said. "She doesn't know me very well, does she?"
Meanwhile
Slade is seen jumping building to building causing more damage to them. One of the rubble falls near Cyborg who seems confused by what Slade is doing.
"Doesn't that guy know this whole block is already slated for demolition?"
Beastboy turns back to normal and lands next to his friend. "Since when did Slade need an excuse to wreck stuff?" He turns into a dog and chases after him.
Slade continues firing more fire blasts on the destroyed buildings and then jumps off the one he is on. He lands on the ground until Robin comes in kicking him into some barrels.
"Why did you come back?" Robin asked. "Where did you get these powers?
"You want to know what this is, don't you?" Slade points to his forehead as he begins walking towards Robin with his feet flaring up and melts the ground. "How many sleepless nights have you had, trying to uncover its secret? Well, let me put your mind at ease. It's called the Mark of Scath. And it's about to become very popular."
"What are you planning?" Robin asked while keeping his guard up."
"I'm not planning anything. I'm simply providing a valuable public service," he begins drawing the marking in the air and creates a fireball. "Illumination."
He tosses it at Robin who jumps out of the way as the fireball hits the wall. The force of the blast though sends Robin to the ground as Slade is about to take him out. He is then blasted by Starfire who comes to her friend's aid. She shoots at Slade who uses his speed to dodge the attack and jump on a crate destroying it as the piece hits Starfire.
He lands on another building where Beastboy is waiting for him. He flies around Slade as a flying squirrel distracting him giving Cyborg an opening.
"Fire in the hole!" Cyborg fires a sonic blast hitting Slade's feet and knocking him to the ground.
Slade gets up though and fires a fire ball at Cyborg who ducks. The attack though hits the building behind him and it begins to fall apart as it falls on Cyborg.
Beastboy flies in while Slade runs off. Beastboy turns into a dinosaur with Cyborg on his back.
"Yeah, you better run!" Cyborg shouted while Beastboy lets out a roar.
As Slade arrives to an old library he is confronted by Raven. "What do you want?"
"Only what any messenger wants, Raven," Slade explained. "For the message to be heard. It's time your friends learned the truth. And if you don't tell them, I will."
"No, you won't," Slade turns around as Anna appears and kicks him right in the face. She sends him flying until he falls to the ground. "You won't hurt her friends or anyone else again, Slade."
Slade gets up and sees the young girl. "A new friend Raven? A pity, that means one more friend for me to kill."
Anna takes out her guns and aims them at Slade. "Don't underestimate me you one-eye freak."
Slade lets small laugh. "A friend with an attitude, I like her. I'm afraid though we'll have to continue this fight later."
Slade fires a fireball at Anna who was about to dodge when Raven blocks the attack. They look over and see Slade far from them.
"Tick-tock, Raven. Time is running out." Slade soon disappears.
Anna puts her guns away and lets out a small sigh of disappointment. "I should have shot him when I had the chance."
"It's okay," said Raven as she lands next to the girl. "We'll get him, it's only a matter of time."
Anna nods in agreement. "That's if your friends don't get involve."
Raven then hears Robin's voice through her communicator. "Titans! Do you read me?"
Then they hear Cyborg's voice. "I read you, but I don't see you!"
Then they hear Starfire, who sounds concern. "I see you all and something else."
Raven flies up to see what her friend is looking at. To her shock it's the same symbol, except its bigger, and it's on fire. It's like the one from her dream, which means Slade coming here was no coincidence. That also means her friends are in more danger than before.
"Raven," Anna shouted from below. "What do you see?"
Raven flies back down. "It's the mark, that's why Slade was here."
"That can't be good," said Anna getting concerned about all of this. "We'll need to end this soon, before it gets out of hand."
Raven nods in agreement. "My friends are going to put out the fire. In the meantime stay hidden, okay?"
Anna nods in agreement. "If you need anything, I'll be close by."
As Anna takes off, Raven flies up to help her friends put out the fire. All the while thinking about what Slade said. I won't let him hurt them. I won't allow it.
An hour later
The Titans regroup after their fight with Slade. They managed to put out the flames, but the damage has been done. After checking around the destroyed city they couldn't find Slade anywhere. So they regrouped back to the only building left standing.
"Everything in a three-block radius has been destroyed, except this," said Robin as they standing in front of an abandoned library. "Slade left it standing for a reason."
Cyborg checks his forearm computer to get some data on the building. "According to the city's master plan, this is the original town library. But it's been abandoned for decades."
"No wonder. This place is a dumb," said Beastboy as he kicks one of the columns causing it to fall apart.
Parts of the old building begin to fall apart, including the sign. When it stopped they see the symbol from earlier on the building.
"The Mark of Scath," Raven turns to Robin surprised that he knows of the symbol. "Slade told me the name."
As the team prepares to go in Raven stops them. "Wait! We shouldn't go in. It's probably a trap."
"It's also our only lead. We'll just have to chance it." Robin gives Starfire the go ahead and she breaks the door open.
The Titans go inside and look around for any clues. So far, all they could find is how creepy the place is.
"Dudes, even without the creepy librarians," said Beastboy. "I'm not digging this place."
They then hit a wall with no other doors around.
"It's a dead end," said Robin.
"There's nothing here. Can we go now?" Raven asked wanting to leave the building.
Suddenly the symbol appears on her forehead and causes the door next to Beastboy who shrieked to open. "Uh…I mean…cool. Secret passage! You go first."
Cyborg leads the team down using his flashlight on his shoulder to light the way. As they go down they passed by creepy looking statues that don't look human. They make their way towards a small room where there were more statues around.
"I did not realize your libraries housed such unpleasant sculptures," said Starfire who did not like the statues at all.
Cyborg however checked his computer and found something. "They don't. This part of the building is old. I mean, old, old. Like before the city was built."
As soon as Raven stepped into the room, the symbol appears on her forehead again. It then causes the walls to bright up red with the same markings from her body that appeared before. Suddenly the eyes of the statues brightened up and ghost forms of them appeared.
"The gem was born of evil's fire. The gem shall be his portal. He comes to claim," Raven noticed the symbols covering her body again. She gasps and covers herself up. "He comes to sire. The end of all things mortal."
Robin turned around and noticed Raven leaving the room. "Raven?"
Raven runs up the stairs and makes her way out. She couldn't risk her friends seeing the markings.
"Raven!" Robin shouted as she stops running, but covers her body. "Are you okay?"
"This place…it's…I shouldn't be here. It's all wrong," said Raven trying to keep her friend from seeing the symbols.
Robin walks up towards Raven, who backs away from him. "What's going on, Raven? What aren't you telling me?"
"I can't explain. I just need to leave," she transforms into her soul self. "I can't go back in there."
She flies through the wall and disappears.
"Wait!" Robin shouted, but it was too late. She was gone.
Outside
Raven makes it outside where she Anna is waiting for her. "Are you okay? What happened?"
"I've been here before," Raven replied.
"You have?" replied Anna. "When and what's inside?"
"In my dreams," She then noticed the markings on her body disappear. "It's where he'll be free."
Anna turns towards the building and looks surprise. "Well, I guess we'll have to destroy it then."
"I can't," Raven replied. "This place, I don't want to go inside."
"So, what are you going to do?" Anna asked.
Raven knew there is one thing she can do. "I have to go see someone. Do you mind keeping an eye on my friends?"
"Wait, you're leaving?" Anna asked surprised.
Raven nods her head. "I won't be long. Just promise me you'll protect them."
Anna lets out an annoyed sigh. She didn't want to let Raven out of her sight, but if she thinks whoever she has to go see can help.
"Fine, just be careful."
"I will," said Raven as she takes off flying.
Anna takes out her guns and cocks the hammer back. "Bird boy better not complain about my toys or else."
Library
Back inside, Cyborg replays the message to figure out what the statues were saying.
"It appears to be some kind of …prophecy," said Starfire.
Cyborg nods in agreement. "Whatever it is, it doesn't sound good."
"This is some serious evil, even for Slade," said Beastboy.
"Not Slade," said Robin as he comes down the stairs. "Whoever he is working for."
"Scath," said Starfire assuming that's Slade's boss.
"The gem shall be the portal," began Robin thinking more about what the statues said. "Scath is coming and this gem is how he gets here. If we're going to stop this him, we need to find it and destroy it."
Robin kicks down the door that leads to more staircases.
Starfire noticed someone was missing. "Robin, where is Raven?"
"She's not coming," Robin replied as they head down the stairs.
Titans' tower
Raven makes it back to her room where she lights up the candles and used her powers to pull out her book from under the bed. She clears her room from all her books.
"You might be able to stop me from meditating…" Raven uses her powers to pull two vial containers from her book shelf. "…but you can't stop me from leaving!"
Raven pours the contents of the vials and pours them on the floor. She sits down and summons some handles to surround the circle.
"Anna, please keep them safe," said Raven hoping her new friend will protect her friends.
She places her hand on the book and begins chanting.
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos…" a bright light surrounds Raven. "Carazon Rakashas Endere…Vaserix Endrien Azarath…Azarath, Azarath!"
A bright light appears on the ceiling as Raven is sucked through it. The portal then disappears and Raven was gone.
Library
The Titans made it to the staircases and see how deep it is. To them it seems like it can go one, forever.
"So, how far down do you think it goes?" Cyborg asked.
"Only one way to find out," said Beastboy and he spits out a loogie that goes all the way down.
The Titans listen in to hear how deep it is. After a few seconds they hear the spit hit the floor.
"That's far," said Cyborg.
"Then we better get started," said Robin as he turns to the team. "I'm willing to bet that gem is down there."
"Yeah," Cyborg agreed. "But, what else is down there with it?"
As they head down the stairs they hear something heading their way down they hear something coming towards them.
"Sounds like we've got company," said Robin as they look down and see spirit demons coming their way.
They tried to fight back against them, but they couldn't physically harm them.
"I can't hit them!" Robin shouted.
One appears behind Cyborg and hits him. "But they can hit us!"
Another slams him against the wall and goes through him. He activates his sonic cannon and opens fire managing to take some out. Starfire does the same, while Beastboy morphs into a kangaroo and kicks one way, but falls off the stairs. He morphs into a bird as one ghost goes after him.
Robin takes out his staff and uses it to take out the ghosts, but they keep coming. He runs back to the team. The heroes try their best to hold off the ghosts, but more keep showing up. One grabs Cyborg from the floor and tries dragging him down, but he blasts it away. Cyborg sees more coming from the stairs and uses his cannon to blast them, but destroys part of the stairs.
"Oops."
Robin knew there was one thing left to do. "Follow me!"
Robin jumps off the stairs with the team following him, except Cyborg. "Uh, maybe you didn't get the memo, Robin? But we can't fly!"
Cyborg sees no other choice so he jumps off too. But the ghosts were still following them. Robin sees the symbol on the wall so he takes out his grappler and shoots it at the wall. He swings across while Starfire grabs Cyborg. Robin pulls the cable back and opens the wall.
"Another passage, this way!"
The team runs through the passage and tries to escape. Robin pulls out a flash disc and throws it at the ghosts illuminating the hallway. He regroups with the others until they see different passage ways.
"Uh…which way is the gem?" Beastboy asked.
Robin looks up at each passage and sees the symbol on one of them. "Follow the mark!"
The team goes down the passage and makes it to another room with different passages, but no marking.
"What do we do?" Beastboy asked.
"Pick one!" Robin shouted while holding back the ghosts.
Beastboy looks at the different symbols on each passage and tries choosing. "Uh…eeny, meeny, miny…moe!"
He runs down the passage he chose, but came back running. "NOT MOE! NOT MOE!"
"Get down!"
The Titans drop to the floor as a small canister is thrown towards them. The canister explodes covering the room in a bright light. They can hear the ghost demons shrieking loudly until there was nothing but silence. They get up and see the light is gone, along with the ghosts.
"Uh….what just happened?" Beastboy asked.
"I just happened," the group looks behind and see Anna coming down the stairs. "It looks like you guys needed some help."
"Anna?" Cyborg asked surprised to see the girl again.
"Anna!" Starfire flies towards her friend and gives her a bone-crushing hug. "We have missed you! Where have you been? Why did you leave? Did you miss us?"
"Can't…breathe…dying…again," Starfire releases Anna who breathes heavily. "Please don't do that again."
"Anna," she turns towards Robin who approaches her. "What are you doing here?"
Anna gets up and explains. "I came here to lend you a hand."
"Why?" Robin replied.
"Because, it's what I do," Anna replied with a grin. "I hunt down dark spirits, monsters, and demons."
The Titans had a surprised expression on their faces. However, Robin was the first to recover and narrows his eyes at the girl.
"So, you lied to us."
"How did I lie?" Anna asked.
"I asked you why you came to the city," said Robin. "You told us you were here to find someone. You never mentioned anything about you fighting monsters."
"That's because you never asked," said Anna.
Robin was about to argue back, when he realized she was right. They never did ask what she does, but he still doesn't trust her.
"Well, it doesn't mean we can trust you. Cyborg ran your fingerprints and DNA through the computer system and we couldn't get anything on you."
Anna should have guessed that the boy wonder would do that. "The people I work for made sure any information on me is gone, that way if I get caught no one will know who I am. My name though is Anna."
Robin however was not convinced. Anna noticed this and sighs in annoyance.
"Fine, don't believe me. Just know that I did save you guys from getting killed and I saved your friend two weeks ago," said Anna reminding the team of all she did for them.
The Titans look at each other and knew she was right. If she was bad then she wouldn't have saved them or their friend.
"Fine, but if you try anything," said Robin warning the girl.
"Yeah yeah I know boy wonder," said Anna as she looks up at the different passages. She then spots a bird symbol on one of them. "We go this way."
"How do you know?" Starfire asked.
"Just a guess," Anna turns towards Robin. "Unless you have a different idea where to go?"
Robin did want to pick a different passage, but for some reason he agreed with Anna. They go through the passage a large stone rock blocks their exit. Starfire tries to open it, but couldn't move it.
"It appears we cannot get out."
"I can blow our way out," said Anna until she noticed Beastboy and Robin were gone. "Where did they go?"
"Uh guys?" said Beastboy as he and Robin make it down the passage. "You kind of need to see this."
The Titans and Anna make their way into some sort of temple. There's a large hand statue in the middle of the room with its palm open and a bright light coming from the middle. They look around and see hooded statues that appear familiar.
"I'm getting a serious déjà vu vibe here," said Cyborg.
"Not only that, but something about this place seems really familiar," said Beastboy.
Starfire agrees with her friends. "Yes. It looks like…Raven."
Anna figures this is the room Raven was talking about earlier. How this is where the ritual would take place and she figures from the large hand statue is where the gem is supposed to stand at.
"Okay, let's blow this place up," says Anna.
"No," said Robin. "We have to find the gem first."
"The gem?" Anna asked.
Robin explains. "Slade works for someone named Scath and whatever their planning they need a gem for it to work."
Anna is surprised that they know about the gem, but is relieved that they don't know who the gem is.
Starfire helps Robin and Anna fly over to the statue with Beastboy helping fly Cyborg over. They make it to the statue and see where the light is there is nothing there.
"The gem, it's gone," said Robin.
"You must be disappointed," the team looks over as Slade appears on one of the fingers of the statue.
"Where's the gem?" Robin asked.
"Not here," he jumps down and approaches them. "But…much closer to you than you think."
"Who is Scath?" Robin asked. "Tell me who you're working for."
"Hmm….I'd loved to introduce you...but unfortunately you won't be around that long."
Meanwhile
Raven is flying through the portal trying to head to the other side. As she flies she sees what appear to be demonic spirits passing her by. She looks down and sees red flames following her. She recognizes it and she tries to escape.
The flames continue to follow her as she tries to use her speed to escape. She gasps as the flames surround her. She uses her powers to break free and flies back on her path. She sees a magical symbol blocking her way and forces her way through.
"Let me in!"
Raven wakes up and sees she finally made it. "Azarath. My last hope."
Raven is home, but will she find help there? Will Anna help kick Slade's ass? Will the truth be revealed? And do fools fall in love? Find out next time to see what happens. Please leave some reviews and let me know what you thought of the chapter. If you didn't like it then don't leave a flame review. Take care, see you all next time, and have a nice day.
