Ch 14 Part 4

Raven and Beast boy stood at her family's new place that they had bought in Jump City. Her aunt had let her know all about before they came by. Raven had to admit it was nice. It was simple and as they made their way inside the apartment complex, they stood at the door. They were both nervous as Raven knocked on the door.

"Raven, Beast boy, it's so good to see you again," said Violet as she hugged them both before letting them in.

"Nice place you have here," said BB.

"Thanks Beast boy, we like it to," said Craven as he came into the room.

"Where's Azar and Haven?" asked Raven.

"At the market your grandmother likes to make home cooked meals. So, we heard from Robin that you two went to Africa? I'm so sorry for your loss Beast boy," said Violet.

"Thank you, he was a good man," said BB, "but that's not what we're here to talk about," he said as he looked at Raven.

"Oh, is everything ok?" asked Craven.

"Yeah," Raven smiled as she took Beast boy's hand in hers. "It's better then ok actually," she said as she blushed. "Garfield and I-she felt something was wrong as a cold chill rushed through as she let go of her boyfriend's hand and stood up as she sensed something outside.

As she pulled the sliding door onto the balcony, her eyes widened in horror at the six males floating outside before her. Their smirks were identical in malice and evil intent. "SISTER," they all said at the same time.

"Th-this can't be happening," said Raven.

"We are the sons of Trigon! Jacob (Lust), Jared (Wrath), Jesse (Envy), Jack (Sloth), James (Greed), and Gluttony," said the brothers as they looked at Raven and Beast boy.

Beast boy's eyes widened. "I can't believe it."

"GARFIELD!" said the brothers as Raven looked to her boyfriend.

"H-how do-?" Raven asked before she was interrupted.

"They attacked my village when I was little," said BB. "I couldn't do anything. There were a lot of casualties."

James laughed, "the little green guy tried to defend his village. It was precious really. We had our fun and then left well until we met him some time later."

"Yeah, he really tore the throats off of some humans," said Jesse. "I've never seen a six year old human child murder before. It was quite exciting."

"We were going to let him join us in your destruction, but he seemed to shocked by what he'd just done. It's too bad really. With your abilities you could have gone far," said Jacob.

"Man, can we just find somewhere to crash, I'm tired," said Jack.

"Lets kill them all ready, enough small talk!" yelled Jared.

"I'm hungry," said Gluttony.

"What are you doing here?" asked Raven.

"We heard about you killing father," said Jesse. "How could you do such a thing? He was mine to destroy!"

"Go back to where you all came from. There's nothing here for any of you," said Raven.

"I don't believe that is so sister. You're here. We're family," said Jacob. "The dark is still inside you, and you can't escape it forever."

"You don't know a damn thing about me. Even though we all came from that disgusting monster, it doesn't mean a thing," said Raven.

Jacob looked to Beast boy. "And what does Garfield mean to you Raven? Is he your mate? You know I approve. He has quite the strong spirit but a little darkness inside him. I can see why you're attracted to him."

"What do you want?" asked Raven. "I won't ask again."

"Such hostility," said James. "Well if you must know dear sister we've come back for you. You can come willingly or by force if necessary," he smirked.

"She's not going anywhere with you!" BB growled.

"Relax green one, you can come as well," said Jacob.

"Pass. We're not going anywhere," said BB.

"If you don't come dear sister, I'm afraid my brothers and I will have to burn this planet to the ground," Jared laughed.

"Raven," BB whispered, "just how dangerous are these guys?"

"I-it's been a while since I've seen them. If I had to guess, I'd say we're in great danger. They're a part of Trigon, so we know they're powerful."

"What do we do Rae?" he asked as he looked at the six menacing brothers. "I mean normally I would say fight, but there's something off about these guys."

"You're not taking my niece anywhere," said Violet as she came out of the apartment with her husband.

"She has family," said Jesse. "All of ours rejected us so we killed them. It's not fair. We should kill them," he smirked. "Why should Raven get to be happy?"

"Why should you?" asked BB. "You get a kick out of hurting people!"

While BB was distracting the sons of Trigon, Raven sent a distress signal to the tower with her communicator that was tucked into her cloak.

"Your friends will die Raven. Your family. You know this and yet you're calling them here as we speak," said Jared.

"Why do you want me to come with you so badly? I'm not going to join you, so your only option is to kill me," said Raven. "I'm not leaving here without a fight. I'd rather die here."

"So be it sister," said Jack.

"Hey, whose threatening my town," said Cyborg as Robin and Starfire showed up. BB and Raven smiled.

"Look Raven your friends have come to save you. Too bad it's all for nothing," said Jared. "My brothers and I will destroy you."

"Not without a fight," said Cy as he got his sonic cannon ready.

"Who are you and what do you want with Raven?" asked Robin.

"We're taking back what belongs to us," said Jacob. "We are the Sons of Trigon. Raven is our sister, and she will be coming with us."

"You will not take Raven from us," said Starfire as her eyes glowed green.

"How touching," said Jesse.

"Can we eat them now?" asked Gluttony.

"Not yet," smirked Jared.

"You have six brothers," said Cy.

"It's not something I brag about. They're pure evil," said Raven. "We have to stop them."

"All right Titans go!" yelled Robin.

Beast boy found he wasn't quick enough to morph as Jared knocked him into a building. He growled, frustrated by the cocky, smirking demon. He stood up as Jared laughed at him. "What are you going to do green boy? You're obviously too slow to morph. Pathetic!"

"Th-that's not all I can do you," smirked BB as he cracked his neck, "you're just asking to be pounded into the ground," he said as he took a stance. "So come on, show me what you really got."

"Now that's more like it kid," Jesse smirked. "It's too bad. Maybe in another time we could have been on the same side."

"Yeah right!"

Jesse summoned his power and aimed it at the changeling, but he quickly dodged him and punched Jesse hard on the face and knocked him down against the pavement. The demon was flabbergasted as he go up and faced the changeling. "That was quite a punch green one," Jesses said as a ball of energy filled his hand, "but you won't get another chance. HA!" he yelled as he released the energy.

BB barely dodged the attack as he felt a burning pain in his side and looked to see his hip on fire until he pat it out. He wanted to scream out in pain but when he looked at Jesse, all he could feel was anger. He could feel the Beast wanting to come out. 'No, calm down!' He thought as he saw Jesse coming towards him and decided to push down the pain and fight. He blocked a punch from the demon and a kick and threw a few punches and kicks of his own, knocking the demon down.

Looking around him, he saw Cyborg fighting Jacob, Raven fighting Jared, Robin fighting James, and Starfire fighting Jack. He wondered where Gluttony was until he was knocked against the pavement. He heard their laughters mix together, and it annoyed. "What's so funny, huh?"

"You're going to die," said Jesse.

Something inside Beast boy snapped, and he could feel himself losing control of his emotions. He didn't want to die. He had died before, but he wasn't ready, not know. Not when he had someone to love. They wouldn't take his Raven away as he felt his bones breaking and changing into something bigger, and he knew right then that it was ok to let go. The Beast wanted the same thing as Beast boy. "RAHHH!"

"Woah," said Jesse smirked, "you sure are full of surprises, but it won't save you."

The Beast roared and ran towards his opponent, ready to tear out his throat. Before Jesse could summon his power, he was grabbed by the waist and crushed by the weight of the Beast's hand. The demon's screams were heard by his brothers as they stopped fighting. The Titans were puzzled until they saw the Beast.

"Oh no," said Cy, "not again."

"Beast boy stop!" yelled Robin.

"Talk about out of control," said James.

"Shut up," said Raven as she carefully made her way over to the beast. "Beast boy," she said softly, "you have to stop. Put him down now. His death isn't worth the pain you'll go through."

"You do know your boyfriend's killed before, right?" said Jared as the other Titans gasped. "Well I guess your friends didn't know."

"Garfield," said Raven as she placed her hand on the beast's arm. "It's going to be all right," she said as the beast looked her way.

Jesse laughed. "You think you can calm the beast," he said before the beast tightened his grip on the demon as he screamed.

"Yes," she smirked, "but maybe I should just let him kill you because you're not going anywhere. Go to whatever hole you and your brother crawled out of and stay there, never return to earth."

"We're not leaving without you sister," said Jacob. "You come with us, and we'll spare your mate, your friends, your family, and even the lives of these pathetic weaklings on earth," he said as his other brother had their powers aimed at the beast. "We won't come back. Garfield will live, but you must come with us now."

"What do you want with Raven?" asked Robin.

"Glad you asked bird boy," said Jared. "She is coming back to die. As Trigon's sons, we like to torture our prey before we kill it."

"That's disgusting!" exclaimed Cy.

"No! This must not happen," said Starfire.

"Then your green teammate dies. It's a life for a life. You must choose," said Jack.

"No one is going to die today!" said Robin.

"Beast boy will kill your brother, don't you care?" asked Raven. "Your only way out is to leave earth, or I promise you won't like what happens next," she said as the other Beast's hand moved to around Jesses' throat.

"He wouldn't!" said James.

"You want bet?" said Raven.

"Fine," said Jacob as he summoned his powers, creating a portal. He watched as his brothers went through. "Now let Jesse go and we won't have anymore problems."

"Beast boy," said Raven as the green beast carefully brought his captive near the portal where Raven closely followed to make sure nothing happened. The Beast stood near the portal and threw Jesse into it and moved away from the portal with Raven. "You're turn Jacob and if we ever see you again, you know what will happen."

"It's a shame it had to be this way sister. You could have been someone truly powerful, but this is the path you choose, righteousness."

"I have no regrets about how I turned out," said Raven. "The time for talking is over."

Jacob turned and faced the portal as he entered it. Before it could close completely, Raven summoned a spell and casted it into the portal, destroying the world on the other side. The portal was gone.

"Raven, what did you do?" asked Robin.

Raven turned to face her team and her family. "You don't want to know, trust me," said Raven.

"You killed them, didn't you?" asked Robin.

"They can't be trusted. They are evil in its most truest form Robin. I had to get rid of them, permanently. I hate to say this but sometimes killing is necessary. They did horrible things you can't even imagine. It's over," said Raven as she walked up to the Beast and smiled. She reached up caressed the fur on his face, and he purred. "Beast boy."

The Beast picked her up, held her close, and licked her face as Starfire and Cyborg laughed while Robin was silent. The Beast was at ease and let Raven stand, so he was able to let Beast boy have his body back. His body hurt as he fell to the ground on his butt. "Ow! Oh man I'm exhausted."

"You should be man. You kicked some butt as the Beast," said Cy.

"Wh-what happened?" BB asked as Cy helped him up.

"Friend Raven sent her evil brother back through a portal."

"You forgot that she killed them Star," said Robin.

"Dude it had to be done Robin. The world would have been doomed if Rae didn't do what she did. Do you even know what those demons are capable of? They've killed a lot of people, they've raped women, molested kids, set people on fire, and probably much more disturbing things."

"We don't kill Beast boy," said Robin.

"In this case it had to be done Robin. I don't like it either. I don't want to kill but sometimes if you want to survive, we all have to do what we must," said Raven. "Should I have let Trigon live? No, I would do it again in a heartbeat."

"Girl's got a point Rob," said Cy.

"Then what you're saying is we should kill every villain that comes our way?" said Robin.

"That's not what he's saying Robin," said BB as he sighed. "When I was little, I was captured and beaten on a daily basis. I had this shock collar around my neck," he said as he pulled his uniform to show his team the bruise around his neck. "Months, for months this went on. Nothing but beatings and when I'd plead them to stop, they laughed at me. The beatings got worse. I was barely hanging onto life, but I managed to break the chains I was in. They were sleeping, and I took a gun, and I shot them both in the head. I'd seen them handle guns before, and I knew what to do. I wanted it to stop, and it did. I was free. I'm not proud of what I did, but I would have died eventually if I stayed," he laughed. "You'd think the worst was over but no. More beating and more pain came my way when the next person caught me so you see Robin, some villains get what's coming to them. Some people can't be allowed to live in this world."

"Friends, I think it's time we went home," she said as she looked into the direction of Titans Tower.

Raven looked towards her aunt and uncle, who nodded. She looked towards her boyfriend who was following the other Titans to the T-car, which Robin, Starfire, and Cyborg had come to the scene in. She could sense his sadness and anger. Placing her hand on his shoulder, the changeling looked to his girlfriend and smiled sadly. "I don't think I'm wrong Rae. I just wonder what Robin is going to do now," he said as Raven took his hand.

"It will be ok," she said as he squeezed her hand and then let it go as he got into the T-car.
