For anyone who wish that the Big 3, or at least one of them, will come to the DC world, I have good news for you! That's all I'll say!

Chapter 5

The Demon's Daughter

The Teen Titans and Class 1-A students arrived in front of a building that looks abandoned due to the untrimmed plants and old equipment around it. "This is the place," said Robin, looking at a phone-like device.

"Of course it has to be a building that looks abandoned," said Blue Beetle. "Nobody will ever expect anyone to find anything here!"

"Let's go in, and be on your guard," Nightwing told everyone.

The group sneaked into the building, which surprisingly wasn't locked. The interior was dark and mostly empty, almost as if nobody actually is here.

But then a person wearing a black robe suddenly came out from a door and saw them, and he immediately shouted loudly, alerting everyone else in the place. In no time, several cloaked people and even folks in lab coats came rushing at them.

"So much for being cautious..." said Beast Boy.

"I prefer it this way!" said Katsuki, cracking his fists.

The heroes all got into fighting stances and then attacked the approaching villains... Which was easier said than done because those people were easy targets and posed no challenge at all. It was a mystery as to why they even dared charge at the heroes in the first place if they have no fighting skills...

It didn't take too long for the heroes to beat them all up and leave them lying all over the place. "That was easy!" said Blue Beetle.

"I'm glad this is the case, because we shouldn't waste time but instead look for our friends!" said Tenya.

Robin grabbed on of the henchmen by his collar and asked him the whereabouts of the hostages, but the latter replied, "Lord Trigon will be freed soon! There is nothing you can do to stop his return!" Seeing that he wasn't giving any answer, Robin punched him out in the face.

"Somehow, I feel like none of them are going to give answers..." said Robin.

"Let's keep on searching first," suggested Nightwing.

They traveled through the building again, and it didn't take long for them to enter a room that contains the Nuclear Family. "It's them! The people who attacked us!" said Fumikage.

"Oh look! We have guests!" said Dad, who was in perfect condition again.

"You're right! We should be welcoming them!" said Mom.

"Hooray! Friends to play with!" said Brat happily.

"No more playtime, you jerks!" Beast Boy angrily said to them.

"So they're the people who wrecked our place and kidnapped our friends? I'LL TEACH THEM A LESSON!" shouted Katsuki as fired a blast at Dad. Dad flew back from the blast and fell on his back, but he got back up, revealing a hole on his body that exposed the circuits inside. "What the?!"

"He's a robot?!" said Izuku in shock.

"Huh... And the doctor just patched me up..." said Dad, looking at the damage on his body.

"You should've stayed in bed, dear," Mom said to him. "The doctor did tell you to rest often."

"Perhaps you're right, but I'm more used to moving around and getting good exercises," said Dad. "Now that we have guests here, it would be rude to not treat them."

"Don't worry; we'll treat them nicely in your place!" Sis told him, and Biff said the same.

"I would assume that all of them are robots as well, and if that is the case, that makes things easier, because we don't have to hold back," said Nightwing.

"Yeah! That's the way I like it!" said Katsuki. "Turn to scrap metal, all of you!"

Dog stepped forward and barked once happily before opening his mouth to shoot a concentrated laser beam. The heroes tossed themselves aside, and Eijiro said, "That dog can shoot laser beams? That's wicked awesome!"

Dog fired a beam again, this time at Blue Beetle, who formed a shield using his hand to block it. While blocking the beam, he turned his other hand into a cannon and fired an energy blast at Dog. The dog was blown across the room, revealing that his skin had been burned off to reveal its metallic interior.

"Looks like we'll have to take Dog to the vet after this!" said Sis with a large smile on her face. Before she could turn around to face the good guys, Robin threw multiple batarangs at her that embedded into her head, and they exploded. The combined explosion of the batarangs was able to destroy Sis's head completely, leaving her headless and short-circuiting body to fall onto the floor.

"Wow! Sis had so much fun that she lost her head!" said Biff with excitement. "I want to experience that too!"

"Whoever developed their A.I. clearly has a twisted sense of humor..." commented Nightwing, weirded out by how excited Biff was acting, despite his younger sister being destroyed.

"I know, right...?" said Starfire in response.

Biff turned to the heroes and pointed his hands at them. "It's my turn to play with you!"

However, before he could do anything, Katsuki fired a concentrated orange beam at his body. "AP Shot!" The beam went right through Biff's body and didn't created an explosion until it hit the wall at the back.

With a clean hole on his body, Biff short-circuited collapsing onto the floor. "That was... fun...!" he said before going silent completely.

"How nice! Our children are having so much fun with our guests!" said Dad.

"Right! Now they're tired and need to take a nap! I think we adults should have our turn playing with the guests now!" said Mom. Her eyes then glowed, and then a shockwave came out from her body, causing the lights in the place to go out. In fact, everything electronic in the room stopped working.

"An electromagnetic pulse?!" said Nightwing in surprise.

"I can't see anything!" said Eijiro.

Blue Beetle and Beast Boy were able to see, however. The former was able to do so due to his suit having a night vision function, while Beast Boy turned into an owl to see better in the dark. They saw something that shocked them. "What the heck is that?!" said Blue Beetle in shock.

Before they entered the room, Dark Shadow was coming out of Fumikage. That was still the case, but now, Dark Shadow was much larger than before, not to mention more intimidating-looking.

"Everyone! Get away from me! This darkness has strengthened Dark Shadow! I may not be able to keep it from attacking you!" shouted Fumikage in panic.

"What's happening? I think I can see something but can't tell what it is!" said Starfire.

"Fumikage's Dark Shadow becomes larger and more powerful in dark places, but also more aggressive!" explained Izuku. "The darkness of this room has made it stronger!"

Letting out a beast-like roar, Dark Shadow began thrashing around the room wildly, while Fumikage tried his best to control it. Remembering where the door was, the heroes rushed their as fast as they could and went outside. They shut the door but could still hear loud sounds coming from within.

"Is he always like this in the dark?!" asked Nightwing.

"Like I said, when Dark Shadow is out of his body and the surrounding is very dark, it will become more dangerous!" Izuku told him. "If there is light, it will return to normal."

"If only there is a way to restore light after this blackout!" said Momo.

"Wait... I see an electric box!" said Blue Beetle, noticing such a thing at a nearby wall. He went over to it, and with the help of his suit's tech, he was able to restore electricity to the whole place. The sound coming from behind the door also died down, so they went inside with caution.

Inside, they saw Fumikage panting heavily, while Dark Shadow had returned to its original size. The room was also a mess, with broken pieces of furniture all over the place and cracks and scratches on the walls, floor, and even the ceiling.

Also, the remaining members of the Nuclear Family were now in pieces, scattered all over the floor, yet still smiling. "Whoa... Good thing we were outside just now..." said Beast Boy.

"Incredible...!" said Starfire.

"The darkness has subsided, and so the beast has calmed down..." said Fumikage. Dark Shadow looked like it was filled with guilt and shame about what it did, but its master told it that it was actually worth it in the end.

"You did it, pal!" Eijiro said to him while patting him in the back.

"Even so, this is a move of huge risk that I would like to avoid using as much as possible," said the latter.

Dr. Adamson entered the room Raven is in, and accompanying him were two people wearing black robes, and they were holding Ochaco, who still the power dampener around her neck, by her arms.

"Ochaco!" Raven said in shock upon seeing her.

"Raven! Thanks goodness you're all right!" Ochaco said to her. "Don't worry; I'm sure everything will be all right!"

Raven glared at Dr. Adamson and asked him, "Why did you bring her here? This has nothing to do with her!"

"You see, I needed a way to convince you to release your father," Dr. Adamson told her. "You seem to value your friends more than your father, so we figured that we can grab one of them and use her to convince you!"

"Don't give in to him, Raven! I can take whatever torture they throw at me!" Ochaco told Raven. Despite saying this, the former was actually sweating and trembling nervously at what might come upon her.

"Don't you dare a lay hand on her!" Raven angrily said to the madman.

"Then release your father! If you care about your friend so much, then you will let him out!" Dr. Adamson told her, but Raven continued to refuse. He then asked her, "Tell me something. Can you use your powers to heal people?"

"What's the point in asking that?" Raven asked him.

"Just tell me," the man told her.

"I can, but only small injuries," replied Raven. "If the injury is too serious, then I won't be able to anything about it."

"I see," said Dr. Adamson, nodding slightly. "Did you know that your father is much better at healing people? He can pretty much bring people back to life! Isn't that incredible?"

"Where are you getting at?" Raven asked him.

"This is what I mean," said Dr. Adamson. Without another word, he whipped out a knife and stabbed Ochaco in the abdomen, much to the two girls' horror. Dr. Adamson stabbed her in various parts of the body over and over, causing her to cough out a large amount of blood while crying in pain.

"Ochaco! NOOOOOO! STOP IT!" Raven screamed at the top of her voice as tears ran down her eyes.

The two captors let go of Ochaco, dropping the bloodied girl onto the floor. "Am... am I going... to die...?" she said in her head as she struggled to stay alive.

More and more blood continue to pour out of the various stab wounds on her body, and she felt her strength slowly disappearing. "YOU MONSTER! I'LL KILL YOU!" Raven shouted in anger.

"Then release your father so that he can heal her! I'm sure this injury is too much for you to heal," said Dr. Adamson. "I made sure to stab the parts that will cause death."

"LET GO OF ME AT ONCE!" Raven shouted.

"Let's see what you can do then!" said Dr. Adamson before undoing the cuffs on her chair.

Raven immediately went to Ochaco and used her powers to heal her. However, due to the severity of the wounds, Ochaco wasn't getting any better. "Stay with me! Please don't die!" Raven told her with a face full of tears. "You have to live!"

By this point, Ochaco was too weak to say anything. She had a look of horror on her face, realizing that her life was going to fade any second. She never became a pro hero, and now she was going to die in a completely different world, far from her family. "No... I don't want to die..." she said in her head. "I don't... want to die... Please... save me...!"

"Release me, Raven, and I promise I will heal your friend!" Trigon told Raven.

Raven didn't want to release her father, but seeing how she was unable to heal Ochaco and that the latter didn't have much time left, she tearfully and angrily went up to the crystal. "You promise me, right?" Raven asked him.

"I promise. After all, it is a father's duty to make his daughter happy by giving her what she wants!" replied Trigon.

With no other choice, Raven pressed her hands on the crystal and began chanting an incantation. Dark energy appeared around her, and then it enveloped the crystal, and Dr. Adamson watched with glee.

The crystal eventually cracked, and then it shattered while releasing red light that filled the room. When the light died down, crystal shards could be seen on the floor, and standing among them was a tall demon with two horns, long silver hair, and four eyes. Dr. Adamson and his subordinates fell on their knees, and the former cried out loud happily, "At last! Lord Trigon!"

Raven was down on her knees, looking at her monstrous father with eyes of horror. Trigon looked down at her and said, "You have done well, daughter! I knew you would set me free!" He then looked at the dying Ochaco and said, "All right, as promised. I will heal her."

He went over to Ochaco, who was staring at him in shock, despite her life disappearing. Placing his hand above her body, white light came out from his palm, and in an instant, Ochaco's body fully healed. The student sat up and felt all over her body to find that she had indeed returned to perfect condition.

"Ochaco!" Raven said in joy as she ran to her to hug her.

"I'm... I'm fine again!" said Ochaco, crying tears of joy at being to live to see another day.

Suddenly, the door swung open, and the heroes came rushing in. "Ochaco!" said Izuku happily when he saw his classmate in the room.

"Deku! Everyone!" said Ochaco happily.

"What is that?!" asked Blue Beetle in shock upon seeing Trigon.

"That's Trigon!" pointed out Starfire.

"That's Raven's father?!" said Tenya in shock.

"Everyone... I'm sorry... I had no choice...!" Raven told them tearfully. "Ochaco was dying, so I had to free my father so that he can heal her... I'm... I'm sorry...!"

Dr. Adamson said to them, "You are too late! Our lord has returned to the world! He will purge the world of all that is unnecessary! There is nothing you can do to stop it!"

"You're insane! He's going to destroy the whole world! There won't be anything left after he is done!" Starfire told him.

"Yes, all that is impure will be destroyed!" said Dr. Adamson, sounding more and more lunatic. "The world will become much better! It will return to a state of purity and newness! It will become the ultimate dream world!"

"This guy's insane!" said Eijiro.

"Like all villains, of course!" said Katsuki.

Dr. Adamson then knelt down in front of Trigon and said to him, "Tell me, my lord! Give me orders! I will do anything for you! I am at your command! I brought you back into this world! I am ready to serve you even more!"

"I order you to be silent for a minute!" said Trigon in annoyance as he grabbed his neck and, in an instant, snapped it. Just like that, Dr. Adamson fell down the dead, a sight that horrified the heroes.

"He... He killed him...!" gasped Tenya.

"How horrible...!" said Izuku in horror.

Looking at his hand, Trigon said, "My power has yet to fully return, but it is already more than enough to get rid of you! This will be good exercise before I conquer this world!"

"As if we'll let a monster like you succeed!" said Katsuki. "DIE!" He rushed at the demon, despite Raven shouting at him not to do so. He released an explosion from one hand at the demon, but the latter emerged from the explosion unharmed. "How about a stronger blast?" Katsuki released explosions from both hands this time.

Trigon emerged from the explosion unharmed again, lunging at Katsuki at a fast speed, grabbing him by the neck, and then slamming him onto the floor. Seeing his friend in danger, Izuku activated his Quirk and jumped at Trigon, kicking him in the side of the head hard. At the same time, Tenya kicked Trigon in one side of the body with an engine-powered kick, while Eijiro slammed down his hardened hands like a hammer onto the demon's back.

Trigon cried loudly in anger as he stood up, swinging Katsuki around like a bludgeon to knock away those three teenagers before hurling him away into a wall.

Robin and Nightwing then threw exploding projectiles at Trigon, and they were accompanied by Starfire and Blue Beetle, who fired energy beams at him nonstop. Momo also offered support by creating a rocket launcher to fire real explosives at Trigon.

Trigon's eyes glowed in bright red light, and then he unleashed a pair of eye beams at his attackers, forcing them to stop what they were doing and get out of harm's way.

Beast Boy turned into a rhinoceros and rammed into the demon from the side while he was too focused on his eye beam attack, pushing him against the wall. Beast Boy then turned into a gorilla and punched the demon over and over. Trigon caught both his fists, stopping them and overpowering the green boy with little effort. He tried to shoot his eye beams at Beast Boy, who turned into a snake to slither out of harm's way in time.

Shouto then released ice in Trigon's direction, freezing the demon to the wall. However, Trigon released heat from all over his body to melt the ice, much to Shouto's surprise.

Fumikage sent Dark Shadow after Trigon, and the shadowy creature hacked and slashed away at the demon, but its attacks barely did anything to him. Trigon caught Dark Shadow by the neck and said, "Interesting... This creature of yours is seeping with darkness!"

"Dark Shadow may be associated with darkness, but that does not make him a force of evil!" Fumikage told him. "I will never stray from the path of a hero! I will show you that the power of darkness can also be used for justice!"

"Then you are a fool unfit to use this power!" said Trigon angrily before heating up his hand to burn Dark Shadow, and then he punched the shadowy being away, sending it back into Fumikage's body.

Ochacho and Raven had been watching the whole thing from the sideline the whole time. The former was shocked at how Trigon was able to hold up against so many heroes at once. "He's good!" she thought. Remembering the power dampener around her neck, she said in her head, "If only this thing isn't around me! I could've offered a helping hand!"

"I have enough of you fools!" said Trigon as his eyes glowed, and then he released a red shockwave from around his body that blew away everything in the room, and everyone was sent crashing through the walls, which were broken down by the shockwave.

Raven sat up and looked at Trigon while trembling in terror. "It's not possible to beat him... No...! He's too powerful!"

Trigon turned to Raven and said, "Your friends are weak! They cannot save you! You born to serve me! It is your destiny, and there is nothing you can do!"

Raven was too horrified to anything but instead kept on crying, as if she agreed with what her father said.

"Realize that being human has made you weak, and eventually, you will come to me and beg to be at my side!" Trigon said to her. "I will be waiting! I hope that you make the right choice!"

After saying this, Trigon turned around and broke through the wall before walking outside, intending to begin his attempt at world domination.

"No... It's hopeless... It's all over...!" Raven said to her as she wept bitterly.

"Don't give up hope...!" Izuku said to her weakly as he stood up and approached her. "No matter what you do, do not give up hope! You have to hold onto the belief that you can win!"

"You all got defeated by him! How can you still have hope?!" Raven asked him.

"None of us are dead, right? As long as we are still breathing, there is still hope!" Izuku told her. "All the other heroes in your world will definitely do something as well! As long as heroes exist, there is still hope! Even you can stand up and fight for what you think is right! You are his daughter, and if he is that powerful, then surely you have the potential to be as powerful as him! If there is anyone with the best chance at taking him down, it's you!"

"But it is the power of evil and darkness! What can I possibly do against him?!" asked Raven, almost sounding enraged.

"Just because your power is that of darkness does not mean it can only be used for evil!" Fumikage told her. "My Quirk is one that is considered to be of the shadows and all that is evil, yet I never strayed from my path of being a hero! Despite his appearance name, Dark Shadow is a force of good, willing to agree with my ideals and fight alongside me! It is not your power that determines who you are, but how you use it! You can use your so-called power of darkness for the force of good!"

"Right! You can surely use your power for good!" Izuku told her. "As long as you use your power correctly, there has to be a way to defeat him!"

Raven thought about what they said, and then mustering her courage, she picked up one of a crystal shards and then went outside. "Father!" she shouted at Trigon, who turned around.

"Have you finally made your decision?" he asked her.

"First off, I would like to thank you for bringing me into this world so that I can meet all these wonderful friends!" Raven told him. "I am indeed thankful for that, but... I simply cannot abandon them and follow your ways!"

"You fool! You have chosen unwisely!" Trigon said in anger.

"Perhaps, but if this unwise decision will make the world a better place and bring people hope, then so be it!" said Raven. As she said this, a black aura appeared around her, taking the form of a raven, her namesake. "I believe in all that is good!"

Pointing her hand at Trigon, the dark energy raven charged at Trigon. "What is this?!" Trigon asked in shock as the energy engulfed him. He felt his body weakening, so much that he couldn't fight back at all. "Raven! How dare you?!"

"Incredible...! Raven is actually overpowering him!" said Izuku in awe.

"Yes, but she will need help! I believe I hear a calling that it is my time to shine!" said Fumikage. He sent forth Dark Shadow, who went into the dark energy coming out of Raven's hands continuously. This resulted in Dark Shadow merging with the dark energy and taking a larger and more monstrous-looking form, a sight that shocked the three teens.

Trigon watched in shock as the now monstrous-looking Dark Shadow lunged at him, inflicting great pain on him and pushing him back and eventually carrying him straight into the air.

Dark Shadow and Raven's black magic then swooped back down onto the ground, creating an explosion of darkness upon impact.

BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG!

"Incredible...!" said Izuku in awe.

When the dark energy dissipated, Dark Shadow returned to Fumikage in its original form. The shadowy being had wide open eyes, as it was shocked at what it pulled off just now.

Trigon was seen lying on the ground in pain. Raven approached him and held up the crystal. "Forgive me, father..." she said in a sad tone. She began chanting an incantation. The crystal then floated into the air and shined brightly.

Hearing this, Trigon began to panic. "Raven! How dare you do this to your father?! Curse you! I will escape again and destroy everything you hold dear!" The light shined onto Trigon, who was then pulled into the tiny crystal shard.

"And thus the demon has been sealed away..." said Fumikage, looking at the shard.

The other heroes ran to Raven. "You did it!" Beast Boy told her.

"I saw everything just now, and man! That was awesome and badass!" said Eijiro.

"I wanted to give him the final blow..." grumbled Katsuki.

"You did a great job, Raven!" Nightwing said to her.

"Positive thinking is my father's biggest weakness," said Raven. "Izuku and Fumikage inspired me to keep pressing forward and not give up, and with this positive thinking, I was able to unleash the kind of power for defeating him."

"I'm glad that we helped! It's great to not lose hope!" Izuku said to her.

"Indeed, I can sense great light in your so-called power of darkness," Fumikage told her. "Despite the kind of power you have, you have the potential shine down heavenly light onto people's hearts and bring them great joy!"

"By the way, Tokomyami, what you did earlier was awesome!" Eijiro said to Fumikage. "I didn't know Dark Shadow was capable of that!"

"Indeed, I have never seen him like that before," said Shouto.

"I was taken by surprise as well," said Fumikage. "Perhaps the nature of his very being syncs well with Raven's dark magic that such a form occurred."

"Maybe that is indeed the case!" said Raven in agreement.

"So... what do we do about the crystal?" Blue Beetle asked Raven.

Raven thought for a few seconds and then said with a smirk, "Since my father always wanted me to be by his side, so..."

TO BE CONTINUED

And that's a wrap for this arc! Can't believe I actually finished things in this chapter!

Fumikage and Raven are quite similar to each other, don't you think so? Due to their powers and motifs, it totally makes sense for the former to be offering words of encouragement to the latter! And also, there's a piece of fan art depicting them both together out there somewhere. The more you know...

Anyway, the next arc will be a brand new one not found in the original. Please look forward to it!
