Kyd teleported around the buildings within his vicinity, looking to where his opponent had gone. 'Where are you, coward?!' His efforts slowly became more and more sluggish as he was losing energy. Stopping at the street corner, he realized that he had been had. Zephiriah was gone. 'What the hell was that all about then? Why would he want to challenge me al-' His blood stopped cold as he put more thought into what he was saying. Turning around, he saw a small pillar of smoke at the other side of town rising in the air.

'The park!' Whipping up his cape, Kyd vanished before rematerializing at the entrance of the park. Putting a hand to his mouth, he kept his jaw from dropping at the sheer destruction that he was witnessing. 'Oh hell... What happened here..'

The stench of death found it's way up his nostril, giving him a taste of rotting and burning corpses. Being a demon, it wasn't horrid to his senses, though to his sight it was rather gruesome. Children, men, and women were slain as though it were without bias. The ground was smoking as though it were scorched, organs still simmering from what could have caused this destruction. 'Did Zephiriah do this? I swear I will kill that fucking ang-'

While thinking loudly, Kyd saw several familiar bodies. Eyes widened, he ran towards them to ensure he wasn't mistaken. Beast Boy, Mammoth, and Trigon were on the ground. Bending to his knees, he took the pulses of his two comrades. They were still breathing, but barely. Taking a deep breath, he exhaled as some demonic energy exhumed from his shadows and wrapped around his friends, before the blackness began to glow.

As they were healing, Wykkyd looked at Trigon and grimaced. 'Even in death, all beings are equal.' Kyd knew he was dead without needing to check his pulse, as there was a large holy blade stuck in his back and chest. 'Probably Zephiriah, though why would he kill Trigon? This doesn't make any sense...' Thinking more, he looked back to the other two bodies whilst pulling the Blade out. It was lightweight, and seemed to have light pulse out of it faintly. 'It must be one of his swords... I don't think he will be missing it.' Smiling to himself, he put the blade in his cape before stopping dead cold, his eyes darting around wildly. 'Where's Raven...'

Feeling panic overtake him, he quickly got down on his knees and started slapping both Mammoth and Beast Boy. 'Alright, one of you little shits better wake or so help me God!'

After several slaps to the face, Mammoth's eyes twitched open. "Ugh... Kyd..? Is that you?"

'You will be alright, my friend. Just tell me what happened.'

Mammoth began wheezing as he grabbed onto Kyd's shoulders. "We.. Were outgunned. Trigon was too strong for us."

'Trigon is dead. Where is Raven?'

"She... isnt here?" Mammoth looked down questioningly and wearily, barely able to keep himself awake. "She... Was with.. us..."

Whatever suspicion Kyd had was now confirmed. 'THAT SON OF A BITCH TOOK HER!' His inner voice screamed loudly, making Mammoth cringe. 'I'm taking you both back to the tower to heal up.' Kyd whipped up his cape and transported both of them to Titans Tower along with him, leaving Trigon's dead body on the ground.

"We need to get out of here." Robin spoke to Asgeroth. "We need to a way to get to them. Raven needs our help!"

'If I knew of a way out, do you think I would still be stuck in this pit?' Asgeroth shot back with his teeth bared. 'That's my son, and I have no way of getting in contact with him. How do you think I feel about this whole thing. Just keep a level head.'

"Zephiriah put us in here, so obviously there must be an opening to leave as well." Cyborg spoke reasonably.

'Spells work differently in different dimensions. It's possible for us to be pulled out of this dimension if you follow that logic, but it would have to come from the outside. Do you know any spellcasters, because I sure don't.' His red eyes narrowed, feeling his patience wear thin.

"...Well, Raven is the only one we know that can, and she is gone..." Robin's head dropped in defeat, with most others doing the same. Starfire, however, spoke up.

"Did we not engage in combat with a magical being months ago?" Starfire stared at Robin, an idea twinkling in her eyes.

"Who?" Robin asked, everyone else listening in, including Asgeroth with interest.

"Malchior."

"No way! Forget it!" Cyborg threw his hands out. "Don't you remember what he did to Raven?"

"Yes I do!" Starfire responded, her eyes glowing green. "But if there is a way he can be appeased, we can use the dragon to get out."

'Hmm.. A dragon.' Asgeroth nodded sagely. 'When I was the Demon King of my realm, I had those beasts under my rule. Their magic is powerful, and knowledge in it's uses unsurpassed. Where is this Malchior?'

"...Currently trapped in a book." Robin gritted his teeth. "So we are back to square one."

"Not exactly." Gizmo spoke up, walking to the crystal ball. The images shown were Kyd hooking up both Mammoth and Beast Boy to the machines in Titan's Tower. "How does this thing work?"

'It uses a magical signal to give me sight over the universe. Very few things can escape it's gaze.'

"Is there a reason why it cannot output voices from our end?"

'Requires too much power, and signal is not strong enough to give two waves energy.'

"Okay, I got an idea." Gizmo smirked and pulled out his pack before putting it under the Crystal Ball, getting to work.

'What are you going to do?' Asgeroth watched him intently. Gizmo gave him a lazy wave while working.

"As far as I am concerned, there is no magic. Only science."

'You guys are going to be okay.' Kyd spoke to his allies as they lay on the medical beds, the machines beeping normally. 'I swear, I will make Zephiriah pay for this.' Kyd clenched his fists as the sounds of the heart rate monitor echoed through his mind. 'I'll come for you Raven, I promise. I just need to be shown where to go...'

"Use the force..."

'What?!' Kyd looked around wildly, not knowing where that came from.

"Kyd! Over here!" It was a different voice he heard this time, more feminine. Whipping around more, he found the source of the voice.

'Is... Is that a...'

"No matter what you and Beast Boy will say about this, I still will not approve of lavish spending of Titan funds on video games." Robin crossed his arms at Cyborg who had been looking away sheepishly. He was connected by several hooks and wires to Gizmo's pack, which had a strangely shaped an antenna strapped to the ball. "Logically speaking, this shouldn't even work..."

"Well it has Bird Brain!" Gizmo yelled out before speaking to his pack. "Kyd! If you can hear us, wave at the Game Station!" Within a few seconds, Kyd waved, which caused abrupt cheering from the whole room.

"WE'RE SAVED!"

"BOOYAH!"

"SUCCESS!"

'IMPRESSIVE INGENUITY!'

"Alright everyone, settle down." Jinx waved her hand before speaking into the mic. "Kyd, trapped us in another dimension. You need to get us out."

A moment of silenced passed before Jinx spoke again. "Did you understand what I said?" Kyd nodded and waved his hands, though there was still nothing coming from him.

"Jinx, Kyd is a telepath. I don't think thought can transmit through this kind of signal." Gizmo whispered to her. Jinx scowled at her own mistake before returning to the Mic.

"Kyd, there's an order I need you to follow. There's someone trapped in a book in Raven's room-"

Kyd began waving his arms around hastily.

"Okay, so you know who that is?"

Nod.

"Okay, he can get us out. We are in Purgatory."

Holding a finger up, Kyd left the room before returning with a pen and paper.

"Would that person be able to get me to Raven?" The paper read on the screen. Jinx smirked before responding.

"Yeah, you'll get your girlfriend back too."

"GIRLFRIEND?!" Robin screeched. "RAVEN IS NOT DATING A VIL-" A shadowy tendril clamped on his mouth.

'That is my son you are talking about.'

After a few seconds of silence, Robin nodded in submission, causing his mouth to be released.

Kyd wrote on the paper some more before showing it to the screen. "Are you all safe there?"

"Yeah we are." Gizmo called out. "Now get us out of here!"

"There's something I need to do first."

"What's that?" Jinx asked uncertainly, having a suspicion.

"I'm going after Zephiriah first."

"What?! No way, we are coming with you!" See-More yelled out, while both the Titan group and the HIVE called in agreement.

"As far as I can see, you all still lost against that angel. Raven is mine, regardless of whether she is a Hero or Villain. I am not going to standby and let more time pass while he gets away! I will come back for you guys. Be safe!" Kyd teleported out of the room, making everyone go quiet.

"...What do we do now?" Starfire asked, looking around.

"We wait." Jinx spoke, looking at Asgeroth as she said this. "Kyd will come back."

'I know he will.' He smiled at her. 'He has my sense of Honor, after all.'

She smiled back and sat down, along with the rest of the group as they waited.

Kyd allowed the cape to envelope his body, sending him to his personal void. It was a space he found long ago when he was younger, experimenting with his powers. As far as he could understand, no one else was able to willingly get into this place without him. So, it was no surprise that the book he had tossed in there was still there, in the same condition he had left it in.

'Can you hear me?'

Automatically he was bombarded with a loud, angry voice. "YOU PIECE OF SHIT! YOU LEFT ME HERE FOR NEARLY A WEEK! WHAT KIND OF HERO IS THAT CRUEL?!"

'I am no hero, which is why I have come to you.'

Malchior was no fool, he knew the beginning of a proposition when he heard one. "...I'm listening."

With a face void of any emotion, Kyd grabbed the book before teleporting onto the roof of Titan Tower. 'I'm going to open the book. Speak truthfully or I will throw you into the sea.'

"Go ahead." The voice was also like stone, no deception to be found.

'What will happen when I open this book?'

"A persona of myself will come forth, made entirely of the paper from within the confines of this book."

Wasting no time, Kyd threw open the book before tossing it on the ground. Just as Malchior said, paper flew from the hardbound covers and swirled in the air, forming a humanoid shape. After what seemed like a minute, the process was complete and Malchior stood in front of Kyd.

The power that flowed from his aura was large, something that Kyd had never faced before. It was radiant, and demanded respect. 'Whoever this creature is,' Kyd thought to himself. 'I better be careful.'

'You should be.'

'...You're also a telepath.'

'When I wish to be. I learned from my old master.'

As they spoke, Malchior probed around Kyd's aura, feeling memories of nostalgia from it. '...He is just like Him... The old man.'

'Who's the old man?'

Malchior scowled slightly before returning to his stoic face. 'You remind me of the one who had breathed life into my once lifeless mass.'

'How so?'

'You have his aura, so he must obviously be a blood relation to you.'

'...Interesting, but we are getting off topic. I need your help.'

'Why should I help you?'

'Raven has been taken.' To this, Malchior laughed.

'Why should I care about the sorceress that locked me away?'

'Because I will free you if we get her back.'

This shut Malchior up, who had then searched Kyd's face and mind for any form of deception, to which he found none.

"Well then..." Malchior spoke, not using telepathy as he was lifting his hands up. "How can I help, Demon?"

'Call me Kyd.'

Asgeroth watched his son converse with the being, his eyes narrowed as he took a closer look at the crystal ball.

'That being... He is old.'

"How can you tell?" Cyborg asked, watching along with him.

'That's my mark on his aura, just as it is in my son... Oh. That Malchior. Malchior of Nor.'

"You know him?"

'Of course. He was my right hand. He begged to come with me the day I was destroyed... How foolish I was decline his offer.' Asgeroth closed his eyes. 'My son, what are you planning...'

8888888888

'So that is the gist of it. Help me rescue Raven from that Angel.'

Malchior eyed Kyd with a grim look, something smoldering in his eyes. A rekindling of a vendetta of sorts made long ago.

'I suppose you wish for my assurance that I will co-operate with you.'

'That would be nice.'

A small paper flew out of Malchior's hand, floating slowly towards Kyd. Grabbing it, his eyes skimmed over the paper. On it were two spells.

Bind.

Akama Setaku, Whakata Marnamu Zain.

Recall.

Zenamatu Terabemastay.

'What are these?'

'The first is to have me bound to you, as a warrior in your name. The second is to call me to your side, should you have need of me.'

'Why would you give me this?'

'To settle a score.' Malchior looked Kyd in the eyes, the smoldering ember now replaced with, burning inferno. 'The oldest score. I have failed once long ago, all because I was too cowardly to defy an order. It will not happen again.'

Kyd watched Malchior as he gave his short, determined speech and felt moved. Within himself, he felt his demonic side open up, as if it were accepting something ancient, yet comfortable. It was as if it were waiting for it's champion. Nodding, Kyd took the book and walked into the tower, intent on getting to Raven's room to begin the process.
