Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome to the Final Chapter! I think you will be pleased by all this, as I am sure you have many questions. I'm betting a few of them are: "Why is Malachi alive? Why did he take Raven's eggs? Why did he kill Asgeroth? What's going to happen next? Are Baal and Gabriel going to get in the picture as well? How are the Titan's going to react to Malchior? Will the HIVE turn good? What's going to happen with Kyd when he meets his father?"

To answer all those, you will have to read this chapter. I think you will find a twist at the end that you would never expect. Also, it will tie up all loose ends and make way for the Sequel: "The Light in the Darkness".

Enjoy!

"Alright everyone, calm down." Beast Boy held his hands out, looking at his teammates as they had glares pointing straight at Malchior. The dragon, not focused on them, kept his eyes on Asgeroth with disbelief. Behind Malchior was a still-open portal, made from the outside world. "I know we have a sort of bad past with him, but we are all ready to make amends."

"He may have saved Raven, but he is still a villain Beast Boy." Robin clenched his Bo Staff tighter, aggression clearly in his voice. He didn't count on Jinx walking next to Beast Boy and hooking an arm around his waist.

"I trust Beast Boy's judgement." She spoke with confidence, looking Robin in the eyes. "Besides, we are villains too Boy Wonder, in case you haven't noticed."

His face flushed before registering that they were holding each other rather intimately. "...Anything you want to share Beast Boy?"

The other HIVE members looked at them with wide eyes, with Gizmo pointing at Jinx with his jaw dropped, unable to say a word.

"Mmm... Not particularly."

"Oh.. okay then." Robin put away his Bo Staff slowly. "Still doesn't explain why we have to trust Malchior-"

"You're trust does not concern me." Malchior brushed him off, still looking at Asgeroth intently. "I am only following the orders of my Lord."

'See that you do.'Asgeroth smiled at him, and Malchior took a step towards him.

"You do realize I am taking you with me, right?"

'That isn't a part of your orders.'Asgeroth raised an eyebrow at him.

"Cut the shit, Asgeroth." Malchior growled. "I am taking you with me."

'And if I refuse, my creation?'

"Well you don't have a choice."

"Wait, why wouldn't you want to go back?" See-More asked Asgeroth. "I mean.. Don't you want to see your son?"

'I have realized that my time as ruler has come to pass. It is time for the stars to shine upon their new Lord.' Asgeroth responded. Malchior glared at him, his tail blocking the exit from the realm.

"If you all want to leave, we are taking Asgeroth with us. I will not budge." The Titans and the HIVE looked at him before looking back at Asgeroth, who stared at him with a smirk.

'I can move you, you know.' Power radiated off Asgeroth, giving off a dangerous vibe. Malchior kept his post, staring back defiantly. Behind Asgeroth's line of sight, Starfire gave Malchior a nod and readied herself.

"Like I said, you don't have a choice. NOW!" Malchior jumped out of the way as Starfire tackled an unsuspecting Asgeroth out of the realm, launching him onto the roof of Titan's Tower. Everyone else immediately rushed out of the portal, barely enough time before the portal closed. "Aw hell yeah! I am a fucking GOD!"

'Excuse you.'Asgeroth glared at him, and Malchior cowed slightly before raising his head.

"I did what I had to do."

'But it wasn't your choice to make!'

"Can we not argue on the roof?" Cyborg groaned before walking to the door that led down from the roof. The others followed him, with Malchior being the last due to his draconic bulk. "I need to juice up my- WOAH!"

At the sound of his exclamation, the Titans and HIVE jumped back, seeing both Raven and Kyd on the couch, cuddling each other. At a closer look, they seemed to be asleep. Robin held a hand up, motioning everyone to be quiet. "They had a long day... They deserve a rest." He whispered. Unfortunately it was that whisper that got Kyd to wake up and stare at them, making Robin curse inwardly.

'...You mind?' Kyd asked, to which Robin nodded.

"I kinda do. You don't seem worse for the ware.. But Raven looks a little banged up."

'She refused to remain in the medical bay.'

"Well now she is asleep. Take her there so we can run a diagnostic test on her."

'Since when do I follow your orders?'

"Since you're currently in my tower, in a relationship with one of my teammates, and I won't turn you over to the authorities if you obey."

'...Ugh.' Kyd nodded and grabbed Raven before quietly teleporting her over to the medical bay.

"Cyborg."

"On it." Cyborg nodded and ran over to the medical bay to do his tests, all under Kyd's watchful, protective eyes.

Asgeroth and Malchior watched the whole thing out of sight, and the Former Demon Lord felt a tear move down his cheek. 'My son...'

"Go to him, My Lord."

Without a further ado, Asgeroth followed Cyborg into the Medical Bay.

(Author's Note: Bold Italics are for Kyd. Bold Italic Underlined is for Asgeroth.)

'You can't be serious.'

'I am completely serious.'

Kyd glared at Asgeroth, who returned the glare. Cyborg paid no mind as did a blood work on Raven.

'I just managed to get her back, and then you swoop in out of nowhere telling me I have royal duties to attend to! Who do you think you are?!'

'I AM YOUR FATHER! You WILL show me the respect of being your sire!'

'You haven't been in my life since my creation! You have to earn my respect!'

'I have been dead for over a millennium!'

'That hasn't stopped you now, has it?'

"Both of you, put your junk away." Cyborg had enough as he read the reports. "She isn't going to like this."

Kyd whipped his head away from his father and took a look at the paper results. '...Yeah. That happened...' His face showed sorrow before his eyes widened in alarm. 'What the hell is that?!'

'What's what?' Asgeroth looked over their shoulders, and Cyborg took a closer look at the reports.

"It shows that she is missing some eggs, and that her vaginal tissue has been scarred, most likely from what you told me... Yeah, what is that thing?" All three males looked at the small black circle in the graph. "Maybe the computer made a graphing error.." He muttered whilst Asgeroth gave the sleeping Raven a curious look.

'Son... Did you have any sexual relation with the daughter of Trigon?' He asked telepathically, moving to Raven's side. Kyd sputtered mentally, and his father smirked as he put a hand on her head. His hands began to glow along with her eyes. 'Well son, that would explain the black dot. That is your demonic essence encasing the embryo. She is pregnant with your child.'

Que Kyd passing out on the floor, with an alarmed Cyborg checking his pulse. "Holy shit, it's like he is having 12 different Heart attacks at once!"

Robin and Starfire sat at the couch in the communications room, with the members of the HIVE on the other side. They all stared at each other, with Malchior watching both groups with slight amusement. Beast Boy was in the kitchen, scrounging up as much Tofu as he can find. Breaking the silence, Gizmo crossed his arms.

"So what now?" He gave a bratty snort, eyeing Robin. The Titan leader gave him a raised eyebrow before leaning forward.

"Honestly, that all depends on you guys." The HIVE members, including Mammoth who had arrived on scene shortly, listened to his words carefully. "You could be a part of us. You guys could be a great asset to Titans."

"Why should we?" See-More narrowed his large eye at Robin. "It's fun being a villain."

"We are all Teens now, guys." Beast Boy spoke up, leaning against the wall. "The law is taking it easy on you guys because of your ages. But that won't last forever, and they will start charging you all like adults, with actual felonies. Do you really want to be sent to where they put they really bad guys away, like they do in Gotham?"

Nearly everyone in the room shivered at the mention of Gotham. Arkham Asylum is notorious in their housing treatments of supervillains. "What guarantee do you have for my team's safety from the law?" Jinx spoke up, giving Beast Boy an eye before glancing at Robin. "Obviously the members of the HIVE don't have a good... public image, you can say."

"Speak for yourself." Mammoth burped, his breath smelling oddly like pizza. "I think I netted a good one."

"What do you mean?" Gizmo asked curiously, watching as Mammoth lazily turned on the T.V. in time to see a commercial.

"COME DOWN TO CATHY'S PIZZERIA! THE GREATEST PIZZA JOINT IN TOWN!" Catherine spoke on the T.V., standing alongside her father. "WE USE THE FRESHEST INGREDIENTS FOR OUR BEST PIZZAS! FROM ORIGINAL CHEESE TO OUR BUFFALO WILDS! TODAY WE HAVE A SPECIAL OFFER! THE FIRST 25 CUSTOMERS IN GETS A FREE SLICE OF OUR NEWEST MENU ADDITION: MAMMOTH PIE!"

"Mammoth Pie? What kind of horse shit is this?" Jinx looked at Mammoth incredulously, who pointed at the T.V. with a smirk. The image cut to his PileDriver on Adonis before his hands rose in the air.

"RRRAAAARRGGHHH! YOU WANT A PIECE OF ME PUNK?! TRY IT TODAY!" The commercial ended with everyone looking at Mammoth, who was no laying with his back on the couch.

"You know I am not going back from that. I think I might like the Hero gig." He smirked, before looking at his teammates expectantly.

"I think you guys might like being on the other side of the law for a change." Robin nodded at them.

"Oh yes! We can be the best of friends!" Starfire gave a smile with her hands clasped together, hope shining in her eyes. That was Robin's secret weapon as he smirked. No one can withstand the power those eyes hold, which seems to hold true as the HIVE members fidgeted and looked away on the couch, trying to avoid the stares.

Malchior, while enjoying the spectacle, felt the scales on his back flare with alarm. Standing up suddenly, he pounced to the window and looked out. Beast Boy, watching him with confusion, felt a strange terror seize his heart, as though his primal nature triggered fight or flight mode. He followed Malchior to the window, all while everyone stared with a dumb expression on their faces. "INCOMING!" He screamed before pulling Beast Boy out of the way.

Two fireballs shot into the Titan Tower window where he was once standing. One black, one white, each in a separate spot. Slowly, the pure colors began to take form, the white one growing a massive pair of seven wings, it's light brightening everyone's eyes to the point of blindness. The black one seemed to counter this, as two gigantic wings sprouted from his back. Claws grew out of its hands and feet as the shadows emanating from him seemed to absorb light. As their shapes became more and more defined, the others in the group back into the wall, holding each other in fright from the massive amounts of power the seemed radiating off them like a thousand nukes.

"It seems we are in the right place..." The white one spoke softly, looking at the others in amusement. His features couldn't be distinguished, as no one could stare him for fear of losing their sight forever.

"You are correct, brother..." A rumbling growl came from the black one, who's shadows covered every inch of him, making the illusion of an endless abyss.

Malchior's eyes were wide with terror before he bowed his head, his large clawed hands forcing Beast Boy to bow as well. "My Lords... What brings you here?" Everyone seemed stunned, that such a large dragon would show fear to these two beings.

"Malchior..." The black one grumbled. "Last I saw you... Why it was over a thousand years ago."

"What could the famed Malchior of Nor be doing on our land..." The angel asked, though malice could be heard.

The dragon sweatdropped. "I... I mean no disrespect..."

"Come now Gabriel, you're scaring the lad." A rumble of laughter could be heard from the shadowy figure. A chuckle could be heard coming from the one called Gabriel as well.

"It's not everyday you terrify The First Beast. You might as well savor this while you can..."

'Alright, what's going on here?' Asgeroth marched out into the room with annoyance. 'I was having quality time with my... Oh, well isn't this a pleasant surprise.'

"Quite." Gabriel responded, his light toning down. "It's been too long, brother."

"Indeed." Asgeroth looked at where the growl came from and shook off the slight shiver his back felt.

'Baal... It's good to see you both. What brings you both here?' Asgeroth kept his mind clear, knowing one false step would be the end of everyone here.

"That's the Asgeroth I remember... Always straight to the point." A glass shattered in the window from his mere words, causing Gizmo to whimper. The Lords turned to the group with amusement. Gabriel snapped his fingers, and the group disappeared. Asgeroth stared at him with wide eyes, before being calmed down by his brother's outstretched hand. "Easy... They are merely in their medical bay. Now... we have business to discuss."

To say Kyd and Cyborg were shocked when the others appeared in the medical bay was an understatement. Their expressions of terror was another story.

'What happened to you guys?'

"Th-Theres's another Angel..!" Mammoth screeched, unbecoming of himself as he pointed at the door. Kyd widened his eyes before looking at his sleeping Raven. She stirred in her sleep, but still slept. Feeling a surge of Rage, he grabbed his Unholy Blade from his cape and charged out the door. Robin pointed with his jaw dropped.

"W...When did he get a sword!?"

With a wild look in his deep red eyes, Kyd Wykkyd burst through the common room doors and ran towards the first bright thing he could see, in this case being Gabriel. Before he could take more than three steps, his arm was grabbed and Kyd was slammed into the wall. Feeling dazed, he looked up to see his father with a stern look of disapproval on his face. 'Not now, Son.'

'It's an Angel! Those bastards hurt Raven! They must Pa-' THWOMP.

Kyd rubbed the back of his head after his dad knocked it. 'I said, Not Now son. Now go over there, apologize, and treat your new colleagues with respect, New Lord of the Southern Universe.'

Not knowing what he was talking, Wykkyd merely grunted and stumbled forward. '...I apologize.'

Baal grinned, with Gabriel copying his expression. "No need. We have come unannounced after all. I am Baal, and this is Gabriel. We are the Lords of the North."

'What do you mean by Lord of the North?'

Gabriel took over. "You see, Lord Wykkyd, the Universe is comprised of several different components, with Lords in charge of each one. We had your Father and Malachi as Lords of the South, Trigon and Zephiriah as Lords of the Nether and the Empty. We control the North, the part of the Universe you are currently residing in."

'Can you explain them, I think I got lost in all this confusion.'

"Certainly. The South is like the North. In the South, you have Planets like Azarath, Tameran, and various other famous planets and lands. Here in North, we have planets like Earth, Krypton, as well as others. The Nether is what you would call the Demonic and Angelic planes, such as Heaven and Hell, or at least the various forms of those areas that take the shape of the inhabitants mind. That is the place where souls gather. It is not a land where you can send the living. The Empty is basically a void, though it is untouched by space. It's merely an empty place where matter is controlled by thought. I believe you have seen this place from what your father told me when you have encountered Zephiriah."

'You mean the Rapist.'

"That he was, though he is still a Lord. That is why we have come here, to find the New Lord. The Lords of the Empty and the Nether are dead, the past Lord of the South has been dead for over a millennium without our knowledge, and the other Lord of the South had gone rogue. This cannot continue, as a great peril is coming."

Kyd stared at him for more than a minute. 'Okay, then why aren't you guys doing anything about it? Why haven't you all gone after Malachi, and restored balance? Why are you here for me?'

"Because we are busy governing our own lands. The North is the largest territory in the Universe." Baal spoke up. "Your Lord Father had returned from death, so there is someone who can take yours and your mates place for the time being."

'My mate? What does Raven have to do with any of this?!'Kyd got defensive, much to the amusement of the other three beings in the room. Malchior, who had been bowing, glared at the two visitors slightly.

"My Lord has a valid point." Malchior stood up and reared his head. "They have suffered enough, and yet you ask more of them."

"We would not do this if we had any other choice." Gabriel assured the Dragon before returning to Kyd. "As for your question, it's best if we let The Anointed One explain everything. After all, he is the one who shall train you both for the coming war that has been foreseen."

'War? Anointed One?! What the fuck are you even talking about?!' Kyd felt lost, his head dazed as he tried to wrap his mind around all the information. Baal chuckled and stepped aside, with Gabriel doing the same. Behind them was a cloaked man.

"Perhaps it's time you all finally get introduced. Or, in your case Malchior, re-introduced." Baal smiled and pulled the cloak off the being, making Malchior gasp with wide eyes.

"...No... There's no way.." Malchior roared out in rage with a string of curses. "HOW THE FUCK ARE YOU STILL ALIVE AFTER ALL THIS TIME?!"

Malchior's roar resonated through the tower, causing everyone in the Medical Bay to jump in Alarm, as well as cause a certain demonness to flutter her eyes, awakening.

"She's coming to!" Raven could hear Robin shout as Cyborg frantically worked on the machines near her. "Are you alright Raven?"

"...I've been better." She replied with monotone, though her eyes darted around. "Where's Kyd...?"

"He's with his father out in the common room with another angel and some other... Thing. I don't know what to call that shadow thing, it's creepy..." See-More trailed off as he continued to talk, being ignored by a now wide-awake Raven. Getting to her feet, she rushed out of bed before falling on the floor, tripping on an IV.

"Sorry, my bad." Cyborg grinned before removing the IV off her. "But where do you think you're going?"

"Kyd needs me." Raven spoke, unlike how she usually is. Robin noticed this and crossed his arms.

"You need to stay here and rest."

"And let him be out there with another one of those things?!" Raven spat out venomously. "Fuck that!" She then phased through the floor, making everyone stare at Robin who now had a scowl.

"She's not wrong you know..." Jinx said with a soft smile. "They go togeth-...Where's Beast Boy?"

While they looked around, Raven made it to the common room. Spotting Kyd, she ran up to him and gave him a running tackle, staying upright as he caught her. "Are you alright?" Raven whispered in his ear, making Kyd smile and blush slightly.

'I'm alright... But are you okay?' He gave her a tender smile, to which she returned.

"I am with you here." They stared into each others eyes, only looking away when an awkward cough came from Baal.

"Glad of you to join us, Lady Raven."

"Lady Raven? I have no title or claim to any land."

"On the contrary," Baal grinned. "Your father, the late Lord Trigon, was the Demon Lord of both the Nether and the Empty, sharing it only with the late Zephiriah. They are both dead, and as far as we are aware, Zephiriah has no current next of kin. That means those lands are yours."

"Wait... So Raven is a Queen!?" Beast Boy spoke out from behind Malchior, his eyes like wide saucers. Gabriel looked at him with a raised eyebrow.

"I thought I sent you all to the other room. I'm surprised you're still here." He turned towards Beast Boy, having the strange man be in clear sight of Raven's viewpoint.

Raven remained silent as she pondered on his words, before looking up to see Malchior glaring a man in white. "Who's that?"

"It's a bastard." Malchior growled out, and the man robed in white returned the glare to the dragon.

"Careful. I locked you up once, and I can do it again." His voice was velvety smooth, yet held a tone of authority that made Raven shudder to her core.

'Don't even think about it.' Asgeroth narrowed his eyes. 'Unless you wish to deal with me instead.'

Power immediately flared around the man, making the room seem cold to the point of being below zero. Kyd wrapped his cloak around Raven and held her close to keep her warm. "Try it, old one." The man rasped, a vicious intent flowing off him. Baal merely yawned.

"Settle down everyone. Lady Raven and Lord Wykkyd, meet your new trainer. He will be teaching you for the coming days until the start of the war."

The man turned towards them, revealing his features. An R was emblazoned on his armor, long white hair flowing down his shoulders as his bangs covered one of his silver eyes. "Where are my manners?" He smirked and gave a slight bow. "Rorek, Archmage at your service."

8888888888888888888888

Meanwhile, from far, far away, Malachi stood in an old building of an abandoned planet within the southern edges of the Universe. The planet was XT-8902, the former home of the Murrocks. An ancient race that had worshiped darkness, they have been wiped out by destructive plague. Their buildings and technologies remained intact, ready for use of anyone that had discovered the desolate planet.

"I knew this place was perfect. Just had to get rid of those pesky inhabitants all those years ago... Eh, I doubt they are missed." Malchi smirked as he spoke to himself, staring at several large glass tubes that stretched from the floor to the ceiling. Water and other unidentifiable clear liquids filled each tube, with a strange white and black dot swimming in each tube. "Don't worry, my precious Nephillim. Soon you will become strong, and the Universe will be ours."

A dark laughter could be heard as Malachi's wings stretched out to cover the light from coming into the building, his maddening giggle echoing through out the land.

THE END! DON'T WORRY, I AM WORKING ON THE SEQUEL! BUT I NEED YOU GUYS TO REVIEW BECAUSE I NEED YOUR IDEAS! I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THIS, GUYS!

Also, for those who don't know, Rorek is the wizard that locked Malchior away in the spellbook. He is the anointed one that will train Raven and Kyd to fight against the coming invaders.
