Alright my dudes, Chapter 14 coming right up! I know some of you are confused that Malchior is included in this tag-team rather than anyone else, but trust me when I say you will enjoy this. After all, he is the among the oldest in the Titan Universe, so this makes the perfect sense. Anyway, Enjoy my friends!

Waking to a blindingly bright light, Raven twitched her body and attempted to move around in an effort to shield her eyes. However, the confinements of what felt like cool metal strapped to her body kept her from doing so. A shadow appeared in front of her, giving her enough dark space to open her eyes and adjust to what was around her. Her arms and legs were tied down with chains, each have a set of ruins etched into them. Following the path of the chains, she saw that they were linked to a machine that had a rather sinister looking apparatus underneath her.

"I was wondering when you would come through." Zephiriah grinned at her, his voice echoing through the vast space.

"Why did you bring me here, and can you turn down the booming voice? No need to impress anyone here."

"...Fine, suit yourself." His voice quieted down to a normal speech tone. "You're in my zone."

"...What do you mean your zone?"

"It's a special place in my realm. Part of my own cut in the universe, if you think about it."

"I don't understand, what do you mean by your own cut in the universe?"

Zephiriah seemed eerily patient, as though he had all the time in the universe at the palm of his hand.

"What do you know about the First Lords?" He asked, to which Raven scowled.

"F...Trigon spoke of himself as a Lord, though I don't see the relevance to this." She slipped through the word 'Father' effortlessly, not wanting to associate that monster by that title. Zephiriah caught it and smirked.

"If you had paid attention to your sweet daddy, he would tell you about the six of us. Our brothers."

"You're related to him?"

"Not by blood, but more in spirit if anything. I don't believe I have properly introduced myself by the way. I am Zephiriah, Third of the Six Lords, Bringer of the Light, Master of a Thousand Swords, Angel King of the North!"

"...Is that supposed to be impressive?"

"Fuck you."

"No thanks, not interested."

"Well, luckily you won't have a choice then."

"What do you mean?" Raven kept her cool, though she was scared inside, not knowing what was happening.

'He's going to hurt us...' Timid.

'Bring it on! We can take on anything!' Brave, though there was a slight quiver in that voice.

'I'll tear his throat out!' Rage didn't lose any bit of her anger. If anything, she seemed even angrier.

'We are in a bind, completely at his mercy. Can we phase out?' Knowledge.

Raven tried using her powers, only for the runes to glow a deep red. Electricity coursed through her, shocking her with intense pain. Screaming, she stopped attempting to use her abilities and the pain ceased. Zephiriah knelt low to her and whispered into her ear.

"You're going to be here for a long, long time, my little breeder. So it's best if you stay still and try to enjoy this. I know I will." He ended the dialogue by licking her neck, making Raven whimper in fright.

'Okay, I think I found the book.' Kyd called out with his back turned, facing the massive pile of books in Raven's room. Pulling out a large gray book, he plopped on the bed and opened it. Malchior, in his paper form, grabbed another book and sat next to him, this one being black. 'What's that?'

"This is a book of spells, for portals."

'Why would we need that?' Kyd asked as he skimmed through the book, looking for a release spell.

"To find the angel."

'...Why are you so driven in helping with my task?' Kyd gave him a quick look, to which Malchior returned.

"There is something about you that reminds me of my old master. That, and the angels have it coming." Malchior growled out, his aura firing up and engulfing Kyd, who was wondering how someone this powerful could be trapped in a book.

'Do I have your word that Raven will remain unharmed?'

"If you use the spells I have given you, I will be bound by your command. Rest assured, your lover will be fine."

At this, Kyd blushed slightly and returned to the book. After several moments of searching, he pointed to a passage. 'Found it.'

"Let me see." Malchior leaned over and took a look. "That's the simplified version of the spell, but it's different..."

'How so?'

"You need the blood of a living demon lord. Correct me if I am wrong, but Trigon is already dead. Curse that Rorek..." Malchior went on a tangent as to how much he despised the sorcerer. "Not only should he be circumcised from the head down with a pencil sharpener, but may all of his descendants and ancestors feel such pain! May he have his chest ripped open with his heart replaced by malevolent imps that would continue to stab his-!"

'Enough.' Kyd reprimanded him. 'I don't care who or why you were locked up. The question is, what are we going to do about it. Now, I am a demon, so it's worth a try.'

"Don't get your hopes up, but alright." Malchior sighed and got up, grabbing a chalice off of Raven's nightstand and putting it in front of Kyd. "To get demon essence, you need something considered holy to cut through your darkness."

'...Well aren't I lucky?' Kyd sighed and pulled out the holy blade from his cape, making Malchior eye it carefully. 'The things I do for love..!' Kyd stopped and stared at Malchior. 'I didn't say a damn thing.'

"I didn't hear a damn thing. A small cut on your hand should suffice."

Nodding, Kyd stared at the words on the page as he held his hand out. Holding the blade, he made a swift cut into the palm of his hand. To say it was painless would be a lie. Kyd knew nothing that pained him as much as that small nick. 'Urgh...' He mentally groaned as his hand began to drip a black ooze onto the chalice. The liquid also got on the blade, covering it without Kyd and Malchior watching it. Starting the spell, Kyd mentally.

'Manabusto, Haraki Confindium.

Draconious Malchior Beduun Nista..

Sarkhan Vol Destal!'

The chalice immediately exploded, the black ooze flying off of it and hitting Malchior's book. Glowing white, the book and Malchior levitated, becoming a flurry of pages before a black portal appeared beneath the world. As if the tower made of paper, Malchior the Dragon flew upwards out of Raven's room, to the roof of Titan's tower. Following him up, Kyd took out the paper he was given and held a hand out towards Malchior. 'Akama Sekatu, Whakata Marnamu Zain... BIND!'

The paper glowed in his hand as the request was made, an invisible chain shimmering in the sunlight before disappearing, symbolically showing the success of the binding.

"I'M FREE! I'M ACTUALLY FUCKING FREE! TAKE THAT ROREK!" He yelled out as breathed fire in celebration. Kyd folded his arms and watched him with some amusement.

'Are you done?'

"...Shut up." Malchior responded before getting down to eye level with Kyd, disbelief evident in his red eyes. Staring into Kyd's eyes, Malchior was now certain he was no longer mistaken. "That spell should have only worked if you're a Demon Lord."

'Maybe I just got through a loophole?'He offered. Malchior shook his head.

"There is no loophole in Magic... You really are the spitting image of your father."

'My... My father? You know my father?!' Kyd grabbed Malchior's head. 'Tell me!'

"I knew your father..." Malchior's voice was soft, seeming to be filled with sorrow and regret. "A good Demon King, strong yet kind. Wise, and honorable. Everything he did was for the good of his subjects, including me."

'What were you to him?' Kyd softened his grip.

"I was his first living creation. I served him as his hand, his advisor, and should the need call for it, his general."

Kyd took a step back, taking all this information in. 'What happened to him...?'

Malchior sighed and closed his eyes. "He was betrayed by Trigon the Terrible, and was killed. Strangely..." He opened his eyes, rage consuming him. "A holy blade was found in his back. Trigon possesses no such weapons. So I have reason to believe Zephiriah had landed the killing blow at the time."

At the mention of the Holy Blade, Kyd looked down at the weapon he held firmly in his hand, now noticing the changes. His blood, which was still coated on the metal, began to shimmer. An intense heat came off the blade, causing it to be dropped. Stepping back, both Malchior and Kyd watched the blade warily as it started levitating, it's bright light dimming as the blood covered more of it's surface. When there were no traces of light left coming from the blade, the black ooze cracked visibly, bits and chunks falling off of it. Soon after, the blackness fell to the ground like a mound of dust, only to be blown away by the wind. In it's place, the sword slowly lowered itself to the ground.

Gone was the light, for only a dull silver-ish gray remained. Picking up, Kyd looked at the blade and found himself to be admiring it. The steel was very sharp, the edges even more than his own cape. 'I think I am going to keep this thing.' As he thought this, the hilt of the blade glowed with a dim red, the light retreating once ancient demonic runes were written on it. Raising an eyebrow, Kyd examined the writing with Malchior over his shoulder. 'I can't read this.'

"That's because you haven't learned The First Language, Lord Kyd." Malchior replied, much to the chagrin of Kyd, before continuing. "It says 'Lord Wykkyd', my lord."

'Why are you calling me that?'

"Your father, the late Lord Asgeroth, was one of the Six Demon Lords. With his passing so long ago, practically a thousand years, you have inherited his mantle."

'A thousand years? But I am nowhere near that old!'

Malchior shrugged at this. "You are direct descendant. I am not sure as to what happened nor how you were created, but you are the rightful heir to the realm. Also, now that Trigon is dead, it is now in need of a lord more than ever. You have the highest claim, my lord. Few would dare challenge it."

'...We need to save Raven first, then worry about the realm later. Where do we go?'

"Your teleportation won't take us anywhere close, my lord." Malchior closed his eyes, levitating a book out of Raven's room and onto the roof. "I can open rifts in the dimension to get us into Zephiriah's realm, but after that we must travel."

'Then why are we waiting?'

Beast Boy woke up on the medical bay bed, looking around whilst breathing heavily. "Second... fucking... time." He growled out at his own predicament, before looking to his right. Mammoth was still out cold. Sighing, he got up on his feet when he heard a crash. Looking up, Beast Boy saw something purple shine outside the window before disappearing to the roof top. Eyes widening, he morphed into a cheetah before bursting out of the room at top seed, running up the stairs.

'Shit shit shit what was that! I don't think I can take anymore surprises!' His thoughts were racing like his four limbs were, clambering as fast as they could up onto the door leading to the roof. Once he got there, he morphed back to a human and rushed through the door, stopping to a complete halt after 10 steps when he saw the source of the purple. Malchior.

"Wha... WHAT THE FUCK IS HE DOI-" Beast Boy screamed out before the whole roof was enveloped in blackness, and his vision going out. No more than a second later, the darkness had ebbed away. "-ING...Here...? Where are we?" Beast Boy looked around after realizing they were no longer on Titan's Tower, and Kyd stared at him in surprise.

'The hell? How did you get here?'

"It's possible that the spell has a blanket effect, taking him with us when he arrived into the same area as we did."

'...What is this place?' Finally paying attention to the surroundings, Kyd realized it was merely a lack of surrounding. 'Why is everything so... Blank?'

Looking around, Beast Boy had to agree. Everything just seemed all blank. Grayish, whitish blankness surounded them. There were rocks, as well a floor to stand on. But they blended into the blankness of the area, as if everything was devoid of color. Malchior watched them with a hint of amusement.

"As you both know, the Universe is continuously expanding. We are currently outside the Universe, in the space that has not yet been filled by the black void."

'I don't follow.'

"Yeah, me neither." Beast Boy held a hand up with agreement. "If the Universe isn't here yet, then how can there be a 'Here', so to speak? Also, why is there no color? Everything is the same dull graying white, as if we are inside a dim light bulb."

"Zephiriah's realm is one that exists outside of space, though not time." Malchior explained. "Though his realm has been decreasing in size exponentially, it could be a reason as to why he has taken your mate, Lord Wykkyd. Losing one's realm is the loss of one's status as a Lord."

"Okay Kyd, why is that douchebag here helping you, and why is he calling you Lord?" Beast Boy gave him a hard stare, making Kyd sigh.

'I'll explain later. But we need to save Raven. Can we focus on that Beast Boy?'

"...You're right." He nodded at and morphed into a blood hound, sniffing around the location. Malchior stretched his wings and flew off above them, searching in the air. This was an infinitesimally large realm, and Zephiriah could be anywhere. Kyd watched the both of them before whipping his cape up, teleporting around.

Little do they know about the gleaming pairs of white eyes that popped up on the ground, all of them watching the newcomers with an almost girlish glee.

EEEEE! EEEEE! EEEEE!

The tower began blinking red, giving it;s usual trouble sign. Mammoth, who was still asleep on the medical bay bed, shot up from the sudden alarm, his chest raising and falling rapidly. "What the hell is this?!"

"Mammoth! Come in Mammoth!" A voice could be heard in another room. Though it was distorted, he could make out who it was. "Jinx."

Sighing in frustration, Mammoth rushed into the other room and looked around, not seeing anyone. "Mammoth, we aren't there. However, we can see and hear what's going in your end! Listen up, the Tower is doing this because of the Criminal Alarm." Robin's voice echoed through the Game Station, making Mammoth look at it funnily.

"Okay? What do you want me to do?"

"Go to the large monitor in the middle of the room and press the big blue button." Cyborg called out from the system, taking his turn. Complying with their request, Mammoth saw that the Alarm turned off, and the screen came up. A section of Jump City was being shown, the place a crime was being committed. Taking a closer look, Mammoth saw civillians running left and right as cars were being thrown in all directions. Only a moment later, Adonis appeared on screening, flexing his mechanical chest as though they were really his.

"That pretentious guy?" Mammoth questioned. "Okay, my question still stands. What do you expect me to do?"

"Mammoth, I think it's clear what you're needed to do." That was Jinx talking again, making him sigh in frustration.

"Jinx, we are villains! We don't just fight other villains."

"He's hurting people. man. Do the right thing." See-More spoke out, making Mammoth grind his teeth at the suggestion his friends and enemies are making.

"...God fucking dammit..." Mammoth raced out of the room jumped out of the broken window from within the lobby, landing on the ground outside with his feet. Getting on the HIVE craft that was used to get to the tower in the first place, Mammoth sped through the ocean to make it onto land.

Meanwhile...

"What's the matter wuss? Upset you can't impress your lady friend?" Adonis smirked and batted away a young male, knocking him to the ground before looking at his girl. They were the same couple that was Carmen Cafe the night it was attacked, though Adonis knew nothing of this and probably wouldn't care. "Hey baby, you're looking fine." He gave a creepy purr, making the woman stare in wide, frightened eyes.

Getting back up, her boyfriend got up and swung at Adonis's head with a pipe. He blocked it without needing to turn around, grabbing it and breaking it. "Leave Catherine alone!"

"How brave, but just remember..." Adonis backhanded the guy, knocking him out and making him hit a car, rendering the poor guy unconscious. "But nice guys will always finish last."

"John!" The woman screamed out horrified, especially when Adonis turned his attention back to her.

"Now, where were we?' He gave her a vicious smirk, only for a fist to smash into his face and be sent flying into a store window, his mechanical body breaking into the glass as he landed on the floor.

"We were just getting started." Mammoth answered his question, rubbing his fist and cracking his knuckles menacingly. Looking down, he saw the woman. "Hey... weren't you at the Cafe?"

"Yes! You guys saved us before.. And you're doing it again!" She sobbed in relief. "How can we thank you... John!" She momentarily forgot Mammoth and rushed to her fiance, pulling his head onto her lap. Mammoth felt funny watching this, as if some sort of sad emotion was going through him.

"You can thank me by getting him out and making sure no one else gets in here." He spoke gruffly as he turned his attention back to Adonis, who was busy pushing the rubble and glass off his mechanical body. "This is going to get messy."

Nodding in understanding, Catherine hooked her arms under Johns armpits before dragging him away as quickly as she could, her eyes not leaving her savior and the criminal he was facing. "Thank you..." She whispered with no one to hear her, continuing to watch until she was out of sight.

Mammoth waited for Adonis to get up before speaking again. "This is a new low for you."

"Me?" Adonis yelled at him, rubbing his head. "Why did you save them?! You're not a titan!"

Mammoth stayed quiet, though his eyes narrowed. "I don't have to be a titan to see that you're doing something wrong." Mammoth's muscles flexed as he bared his teeth.

"Alright wuss! Let's see what you can do!" Adonis yelled as he ran towards Mammoth, the other leaping at him.

ALRIGHT GUYS! I KNOW YOU ALL WANT TO SEE THIS FIGHT, BUT YOU GOTTA WAIT UNTIL THE NEXT CHAPTER COMES UP. UNTIL NEXT TIME, CIAO!

LEAVE A REVIEW, LETTING ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!
