The next day Dante and Raven awoke as they were leaving their room the sword started glowing blue again for reasons unknown.
Dante was very curious to learn of what his brother's sword was trying to tell him so he tells Raven to call the titans into the central room.
While Raven was getting the team together Dante went to grab Yamato it was no longer glowing shortly after he walks into the central room and all of the titans are waiting sitting on the couch.
He places the sword on the table near the couch and it continues to glow blue.
"Whoa cool" said Beast Boy.
"Colors!" said Starfire.
"Any idea what this means Dante" Robin asked.
"Not a clue it's why we are here now".
"Would Yamato be considered a mystical artifact" Raven asked.
"I would think so" said Dante.
"Where are you going with this Raven?" Robin asked.
"There is an old abandoned library near outside of the city that is centuries old and they did studies on mystical artifacts" said Raven.
"Well then what are we waiting for" said Beast Boy.
"It's not as simple as you would think they say the place is cursed with strange spectral creatures" said Raven.
"So it's a fools task" said Robin and Raven quickly looked at him and said "Yes".
"There is no reason Yamato would go through the trouble of signaling us if the sword knew it was useless we have to go" said Dante.
"We are all going to remember what we agreed to" said Raven.
"What about Yamato should we bring the sword" Robin asked.
"Why not can't hurt" said Dante.
Dante gets up and picks the sword up and suddenly falls to the ground unconscious Cyborg acts quick and catches Dante.
Beast boy reaches out to the sword when Raven stops him with her magic.
"Don't touch it" said Raven.
"She is right we don't know what it did to Dante" said Robin.
"He's still alive" said Cyborg.
"I'll go put him in medical care" said Raven.
"What must we do now Robin do we go to the library as Raven was saying" Starfire asked.
"Let's let Raven decide that" said Robin.
Soon after Cyborg carry's Dante into their medical care room and Raven sets up the machine and puts Dante on it.
As they leave the room Raven looks back and tells Dante "Be safe" Cyborg pats her on the shoulder and they catch up with the rest of the team in the central room.
"We are going to the library" said Raven.
The team quickly responds looking worried about what could happen.
As the team are leaving the room Yamato starts glowing blue once more and sparks they ignore it since there is nothing that they can do with the sword and continue walking to the garage.
Dante is starting to have images in his mind of Yamato he feels there is a connection behind the sword but he does not understand what the sword is trying to tell him.
Shortly after the titans make their way to the library in the T-Car.
Dante continues to have more images showing of what looks to be a strange-looking figure wielding Yamato he or she is too far away to get a good enough look.
Dante in a sleep he cannot awake from continues to drift inside of his mind he quickly learns that Yamato did this to him for a reason he's trying to understand what the sword was telling him.
The titans soon leave the city and minutes after leaving they are stopped by what looks to be a shadow figure of a dog.
They leave the vehicle to get a better look and the creature starts attacking it goes into the ground and spikes start coming up out of the ground under the titans and rips through robin's cape.
Raven quickly realizes whatever this creature is it doesn't like the fact they are going to the library.
The titans engage in combat with the strange creature Robin jumps into the air coming down on it with his metal rod missing after the creature escapes into the ground again.
Raven uses her magic to lift it out and then Starfire begins to attack with Star bolts while Cyborg uses his sonic cannon.
After the creature being hit falls Beast boy goes in for an attack as a Saber-Tooth Tiger it is very quick to dodge another attack and this time after going under it comes back up only to conceal Beast boy and go under again this time taking him with it and not coming back up.
The titans are quickly in anger as Cyborg starts hitting the ground while Raven try's to sense Beast Boy.
Dante continues to see more images this time completely different he is watching his friends as they are being hunted down one by one he is starting to get frustrated trying to break free.
"We have to get to the library Beast boy was taken there I can feel it" said Raven.
The titans quickly get back inside the car and Cyborg steps on the pedal knowing they are close to the library while Robin looks frustrated that he was not able to do anything against that creature.
"Please Robin do not blame yourself for this we are not aware of what kind of powers we are dealing with here it's not your fault" said Starfire.
Robin lets out a deep breath and calms down after what Starfire told him.
The titans arrive at the library which looks like it has not been touched in centuries.
Raven quickly has a freezing chill down her spine and is almost refusing to enter the library.
The rest of the titans quickly see Raven as she is not blinking or even there she has her eyes wide open staring at the library.
"Raven RAVEN" said Robin after quickly snapping Raven out of it.
"What is wrong what is it" Robin asked.
"It's not a powerful creature I'm feeling instead its immense darkness..." said Raven.
"But we have no choice we can't just leave Beast Boy alone in their" said Raven.
And the titans went inside of the library finding pages so old it's starting to fall apart.
Dante is starting to see images of his brother Vergil still not understanding it he continues to walk forward inside of his mind.
The titans quickly discover a shelf fallen over and behind it are spider webs completely concealing the passageway Raven opens it up using her magic.
Beast Boy soon wakes up in a room full of darkness not even the slightest bit of light he begins to move around as he steps on broken glass he falls back.
As the titans enter the passage way the wall behind them closes and they are in complete darkness but quickly Cyborg turns on his shoulder flashlight as Starfire lights up more with her Star bolts.
They continue through a corridor which just seems never-ending soon they run into a turn and on the wall it says "If you want to get out of here alive you better run for your life".
"OK now THAT is creepy" said Cyborg.
Beast boy turns into a Wolf to use what night vision he could get from it and standing right in front of him was the same dark figure they had fought back before he was captured shocked he quickly screams.
"AHHHHH WHAT ARE YOU" the titans quickly recognize that is Beast Boy and they start running in the direction they heard the voice.
"HURRY" said Robin.
Dante continues to walk through his mind but finds himself back where he started out of confusion he continues to walk.
Cyborg is falling behind the group and soon his light vanishes as the titans turn around in shock to see he is gone.
Raven is starting to question herself if it's her fault her friends are gone it was her who made them go to the library.
"This can't be happening we have to keep moving" said Raven.
Beast Boy hears something dropped next to him he is still in too much fear to want to use his night vision to see so he refuses.
Dante continues to walk until he feels something behind him and when he turns he is looking at a strange dark figure of what looks to be a dog but bigger and it continues to morph into spikes chasing him so he starts running forward.
Soon enough after gaining some distance Dante looks back to see the creature has vanished.
As Dante continued he found a strange looking rundown school or at least that is what it looked like to him so he went inside.
As the rest of the team continues they run into another turn going left and on the wall it says "Don't stop running if you want to get out alive" Starfire begins to get afraid.
"Robin let's just go back I can't handle this" said Starfire.
"We never leave our team behind Starfire I don't know how we will find them we have to continue" said Robin.
Dante continues to search in what he thinks to be a school but on the inside it resembles a library he soon finds a passageway leading down into a dark area not being able to see he can't help but have a feeling he needs to continue.
The creature soon comes back Raven feels it coming this time and quickly blocks off the corridor hoping it will run into her shield and get knocked back instead the creature runs straight through and jumps on Starfire as she screams it slowly fades away as she is being taken away.
And so Robin and Raven are left in the dark.
Dante feeling strange while walking through the darkness hears a scream soon after the entire corridor lights up.
Dante quickly starts running to where he heard the noise and he finds 4 strange-looking figures.
Quickly Dante felt something coming from behind as he turned around he saw the creature run through him and pounced on one of the 4 figures he tried to help but he was going right through all of them as if they are ghosts.
Beast Boy realizes the creature is back in the room after it making strange noises soon after Cyborg wakes up asking where am I Beast Boy recognizes the voice.
"Cyborg it's me Beast Boy can you turn on your flashlight?" said Beast Boy.
"Don't think so it busted when I hit the ground" said Cyborg.
"Whatever you do don't move from where you stand this entire room has strange things in it" said Beast Boy.
"Thanks for the tip we heard you scream what happened" Cyborg asked.
"I became a wolf to look around the room and I saw that creature standing in front of me and the creature began to change" said Beast Boy.
Dante continues down the hall and quickly realizes the creature has returned again and began to pounce but one of the 3 figures that was left put up a wall of dark energy as Dante saw it he quickly realized what is happening and woke up.
"Shit they are in the library and only Raven and Robin are the only ones left not captured from whatever the hell that thing was" said Dante as he got up and put his trench coat on and went to the garage.
"Raven are you there" Robin asked.
"Yeah I am I'm starting to think this is my fault I shouldn't have made you all come here it was too dangerous" said Raven.
"It was something we all agreed to no need to blame yourself" said Robin.
Robin pulled out his communicator as it began to ring and he answered it standing next to Raven the light was able to light up their faces and on the other side was Dante.
"Listen to me no time to wait you need to run don't stop or you will be captured" said Dante.
"What is this creature" Raven asked.
"It's the essence of darkness" Dante said.
"Find your friends and run" Dante said after ending the transmission.
Shortly after Dante took Robin's bike and started driving to the library.
Raven and Robin began to hear the creature coming from behind from the corridor they just got out of and quickly began to run using their communicators for what little light it would give.
"Uh my head huh where am I someone I can't see anything" said Starfire.
"We are here Starfire me and Beast Boy" said Cyborg.
"I'm in this strange liquid it is thick" said Starfire than lit up her side of the room holding on to a star bolt and saw she was sitting in what look liked blood.
Beast Boy and Cyborg both were able to see Starfire on the other side of the room which was a lot bigger than they had realized.
Dante driving as fast as he can he put demonic power into the bike to speed up even faster being only minutes away from the library.
Soon after running through so much darkness Raven and Robin both entered what looked to be a chamber and it had very little light from candles.
Raven looks to the center of the room looking at a pedestal with a book on it she quickly takes hold of the book and Robin notices the creature is about to tackle Raven he jumped in her way and vanishes with the creature.
Dante arrives at the library falling to the ground as another image shows up of what just happened inside the library he knew he was almost out of time and quickly got back on the bike and went inside.
"Starfire quick put out the light" Cyborg said quietly.
And they heard a noise of someone else being dropped and it was much closer to Starfire soon after realizing the creature left she illuminates her side of the room to see Robin next to her.
She quickly grabs him and is trying to wake him and she manages to he takes a moment to realize he was captured and Raven was all alone now.
"Starfire where are we and have you seen Beast Boy and Cyborg" Robin asked.
"We are here" said both Beast Boy and Cyborg.
Dante using the light from his bike quickly manages to get through the first corridor.
Raven falls to her knees and begins to weep shortly after hearing the creature coming begins to run faster than she ever had knowing her magic does not work against it.
"Are any of you injured" said Robin.
"My feet are sliced up from the broken glass in this room not to mention all the other strange-looking things lying around" said Beast Boy.
"What happened to Raven" Starfire asked.
"We got a transmission from Dante shortly before he told us to run and don't stop for nothing or we would be captured if this thing gets all of us there is nothing we can do" said Robin.
"We also managed to make it to what looked like a chamber with candles lit there was a pedestal with the book Raven was talking about after she picked it up the creature was coming from behind I saved her from being hit and woke up here" said Robin.
Raven out of breath stops to see that the creature is no longer chasing her.
Dante being chased from behind quickly drives faster and makes it to the chamber.
Raven has found a wooden door that is rusted and quickly uses her magic on it to open it.
"quiet someone is coming don't make a move" said Beast Boy.
Raven continues walking in the room and eventually asks "Is anyone there".
"Raven you made it" said Robin Starfire began to illuminate her side of the room once more.
The creature appears out of nowhere in the room and grabs Beast Boy and begins to claw his back making him bleed.
"AHHHHHHHHH HES SCRATCHING MY BACK" said Beast Boy.
"NO STOP" said Raven the creature began to walk toward Raven walking into the illuminated side of the room they all saw the creature.
"It was no longer a dog shaped but a vicious void with razor sharp claws and teeth and attacked Raven knocking her to the ground cutting her left arm straight down the middle opening a large wound and blood dripping very fast.
Dante heard Ravens scream and had enough he used what demonic energy was left to boost himself the rest of the way.
The creature was ready to slice Raven again before a light appearing and a loud engine running.
Dante appeared on the bike and he fired Ebony and Ivory at the shadow the shots managed to work since the demon was weak from the ray of light.
Raven was losing blood fast as there was a large cut down the center of her left arm he got in his knees to notice she was passed out and quickly freed the rest of the titans realizing Beast Boy had also been wounded.
"I'm sorry I let this happen to you Raven" said Dante.
As the titans began to get up Cyborg blasted his way through the roof which took minutes for how far under they were.
Dante realizing the shadow is back tells the rest to get out and take Raven fast as he charges the shadow with rebellion the cut does not work and the shadow returns an attack through his chest from underground piercing him lifting him into the air.
The titans quickly get out Starfire carrying Raven as she hears Dante's voice yelling "AGH" from being pierced she wakes up for a few more seconds notices Dante being obliterated by the shadow quickly yells and says "DANTE".
Dante was frustrated to his limit he had never been so pissed off before in his life he hit Devil Trigger and broke free and quickly reached in and somehow grabbed the shadow flying him into the outside air he fought the shadow which would ultimately lead to shadow trying another surprise attack under him.
This time not falling for it Dante jumps and falls with Rebellion cutting down the center of the shadow as it slowly flees and goes back inside of the library.
Dante was used to taking this kind of punishment he quickly stood back up after minutes on the ground and began to make his way back to the tower on foot.
The image of Dante being pierced is repeating in Raven's head hours later she screams "DANTE".
Dante soon after arrives to the tower collapsing to the ground as Robin notices from the top of the tower sends Starfire down to pick him up and ends up getting covered in Dante's blood.
Dante awoke an hour later Raven still in a bad condition her arm was severely injured and lost much blood being sliced down the center.
He himself was in the same medical room with Beast Boy and Raven to the left and right of him Beast Boy being awake Raven slowly awaking.
Robin asks him if he defeated the shadow.
"He got away" said Dante as he got up still injured but not caring he wanted answers why Yamato did this he quickly retrieved the book that Raven brought back and started reading through it.
Hours had passed until Dante learned the meaning of what Yamato wanted Raven finally woke up asking "Is Dante alright".
"Yes he is the shadow got away from him he returned covered in blood and passed out outside of titans tower he was treated he is examining the book you brought back as we speak." said Robin.
Dante is shocked to learn and quickly leaves to the medical room to start explaining everything.
Raven is having a hard time to talk as Dante enters the room.
"Just don't speak" said Dante.
He began to explain what the book was telling him.
"Devil Arms are known to obey their master but if their master goes missing or is lost in combat the devil arm starts seeking a new wielder and only the person it chooses may wield it's true power when the person is near the sword it will begin lighting up to its own custom color" said Dante.
"If that's true then we need to find out who it is" said Robin.
Hours later Raven was able to walk not being able to use her left arm much at all they all went back into the central room Yamato still laid on the table where Dante dropped it.
Cyborg approached the sword and nothing happened he wasn't shocked of this at all.
Beast Boy approached the sword and was bummed out to see he was not the one.
Starfire than approached it and nothing happened she returned next to the rest of the team.
Robin approached it and still nothing.
The team all looked at Raven as she approached the sword it began to glow as Dante started to smile.
"It's calling to you Raven wield it" said Dante.
Raven quickly grabbed the sword and blue energy went into her as she took the sword out of the sheath it healed her left arm completely and the rest of her body.
Dante walked to Raven and asked her for the sword he grabbed it and looked into it.
"I guess I should have trusted you" said Dante as Yamato another image appeared into Dante's head he knew what he had to do.
He hands the sword back over to Raven.
"Yamato wants me to train you in the way of the blade" Dante said.
"Manipulating the swords powers with your own will create an immense amount of demonic power" said Dante.
The rest of the titans looked at Raven and Dante realizing they are starting to have a much larger chance at defeating Trigon.
"I know what I must do" said Raven.
As she finished Dante grabbed her and pulled her into his arms kissing her as she kissed back the titans watched happy for the both of them.
"Oh by the way we are going to get that creep in the dark back for what he's done" said Dante.
