Chapter XII

Jump City

Isamu and Hikari are seen helping round up some criminals that tried to rob a charity event. They tried using knockout gas on the attendance. However, Hikari took away their canisters without seeing her. She scared them making it seem like she is a ghost.

This caused the men to try running away. Isamu though took out their tires and locked the men in their truck. Hikari threw the canisters inside as the men got knocked out by their very own tools. Once they were out, they took the men to the police, where they left a note. Explaining what these men were going to do, the vehicle they stole was robbed, and they were carrying armed weapons without a permit.

The two siblings sat on the roof watching the men being taken by the police. All while shouting out about ghosts that attacked them.

Hikari began giggling as she watched this. "The criminals in this city are about as dumb as the other ones."

"Not like Gotham though," said Isamu who knows the criminals in that city are more crazy than dumb. "Still, don't think they are all dumb. Some of these criminals I have seen are actually smart enough to trick the Titans or keep themselves from being caught."

"Like the Tofu alien Cyborg ate?" Hikari asked recalling the Tofu alien that tried kidnapping the cows of the nearby farms, opened up a tofu burger joint, and then tried to blow up the earth. "You don't think he was a dumb one?"

Isamu was about to say no, but then again, the plan was pretty dumb. "Okay, you got me there. Still, I mean the ones the Titans have a lot of trouble with. Like that Slade guy."

Hikari remembered Starfire telling her about Slade and hearing stories from her master about him before coming to this city. She is surprised that the Titans were able to defeat him not once, but twice.

"Speaking of Slade, don't think he has shown up since that night he attacked the Titans, right?" Hikari asked wondering where Slade could be.

"It isn't uncommon," said Isamu who recalls what Raven once told him. "Slade usually bides his time when he shows up and when he does, he will make it dramatic. And since we can't sense his spiritual energy there is no way to track him down.

It was then the two Soul Reapers heard a loud explosion echoing across the city. The two leap up into the sky to see in the abandoned part of the city engulfed in flames.

"Well, I could be wrong," said Isamu as he sees the large flames.

Hikari could sense an ominous presence from where the fire is at. "Whatever is going on over there is making feel uncomfortable."

Isamu nods in agreement as he can sense the others in the city. "Let's go help out. We can end Slade and stop Trigon."

"Sounds good to me. Let's go and…" Hikari was interrupted when they heard loud howling sounds echoing across the city.

This caused the two siblings to have their eyes open wide in shock when they hear this. They look over to see a dark hole in the sky. Something appears to be breaking through. They look closer to see what appears to be large Hollows emerging from the hole.

However, these Hollows are much bigger than the regular ones the Soul Reapers have been fighting. These were 2-6 stories tall; they have the white mask with an elongated nose, with their bodies covered from their head to their feet in a black cloak, and around their necks appear to be a row of thing white spikes.

They recognized these creatures and couldn't believe what they are seeing. "Menos Grande, what the hell are they doing here?"

"I don't know," said Isamu who is shocked to see what appears to be ten Menos appearing.

It was then Isamu noticed the Menos appear to be heading somewhere. They figured they would come to the city to attack the people, but it appears something else is drawing their attention.

It is then that Isamu realizes what they are after. "Could they be after the Titans?"

"Why would they do that? Sure, some of them have strong spiritual energy, but the only one I can think of they would want to devour is…" it was Hikari's turn to realize what the Menos are after. "Shit! Could they be after your girlfriend?"

"She's not my…forget it. Let's get going," said Isamu as the two head to the abandoned city, while Isamu tries calling Raven. To warn her of what is coming and to get away. No answer. Raven, just stay safe till I get there.

Meanwhile

The Titans managed to put out the fire and made sure it didn't spread towards the city. However, the fire did burn down much of the buildings and there is no sign of Slade anywhere. They wondered why Slade would come here to do this instead of the city where there are civilians around. Despite this the Titans regrouped and arrived in front of an abandoned library that Slade did not destroy.

"Everything in a three-block radius has been destroyed, except this," said Robin as they look around to see the building appears unscathed by the fire. "Slade left it standing for a reason."

Cyborg checks his forearm computer to get some data on the building. "According to the city's master plan, this is the original town library. But it's been abandoned for decades."

"No wonder. This place is a dumb," said Beast Boy as he kicks one of the columns causing it to fall apart.

Parts of the old building begin to fall apart, including the sign. When it stopped, they see the symbol from earlier on the building.

"The Mark of Scath," said Robin as Raven turns to her friend surprised that he knows the symbol. "Slade told me the name."

As the team prepares to go in Raven stops them. "Wait! We shouldn't go in. It's probably a trap."

"It's also our only lead. We'll just have to chance it." Robin gives Starfire the go ahead and she breaks the door open.

As the Titans prepare to go in they heard loud howls echoing across the city. "What is that?" Starfire asked as she appears concerned.

Raven turns to the others surprised they heard this. She shouldn't be surprised though since she knew if they could see Isamu in his Soul Reaper form then they should be able to see and hear the Hollows.

"Hollows, but don't worry. Isamu and his sister can handle it," said Raven who knew the siblings are probably on their way to handle these Hollows.

The Titans go inside the library and begin looking around. Trying to find any clues on why this place was not destroyed by Slade. Why he left it standing? And if this will give them information about the mark of Scath.

"Dudes, even without the creepy librarians," said Beast Boy who didn't like how the abandoned library looks. "I'm not digging this place."

They keep looking around and try to find any clues. They look around at any of the books and the file cabinets that were left behind. However, they didn't contain any information. They soon hit a wall and found no other doors around.

"It's a dead end," said Robin upset that there are no other places to look.

"There's nothing here. Can we go now?" Raven asked wanting to leave this place before the others find out the truth.

Suddenly the symbol appears on her forehead and causes the door next to Beast Boy to open. Beast Boy shrieks when it opened, but then tried to play it off as he turns to Cyborg.

"Uh…I mean…cool. Secret passage! You go first."

Cyborg leads the team down using his flashlight on his shoulder to light the way. As they head down, they pass by some statues that didn't appear human. In fact they almost look demonic in some ways. They soon entered in another small room and look around to find more of the statues.

"I did not realize your libraries housed such unpleasant sculptures," said Starfire who did not like the statues at all.

Cyborg however checked his computer and found something interesting. "They don't. This part of the building is old. I mean, old, old. Like before the city was built."

Raven stepped into the room and soon the symbol appeared on her forehead once more. It caused the walls to begin brightening up. The markings soon spread around her body as she covered herself up with her robe. The eyes on the statues begin to glow as their ghost forms appear to speak.

"The gem was born of evil's fire. The gem shall be his portal. He comes to claim. He comes to sire. The end of all things mortal."

Raven began to leave the room, which Robin noticed. "Raven?"

Raven runs up the stairs and tries to make her way out. She couldn't risk her friends seeing the markings. She couldn't risk them knowing the truth. Even find out what she is.

"Raven!" Robin shouted as this caused Raven to stop but kept her body covered. "Are you okay?"

"This place…it's…I shouldn't be here. It's all wrong," said Raven trying to keep her friend from seeing the symbols.

Robin walks up towards Raven, who backs away from him. "What's going on, Raven? What aren't you telling me?"

"I can't explain. I just need to leave. I can't go back in there," she said as she transformed into her soul-self and flies though the wall before disappearing.

Back with the others, Cyborg managed to record what the statues said. Guessing what it is they are saying.

"It appears to be some kind of…prophecy?" Starfire asked.

Cyborg nods in agreement. "Whatever it is it doesn't sound good."

"This is some serious evil, even for Slade," said Beast Boy who knew this seems a lot different from any of the other evil thing Slade has done.

"Not Slade," said Robin as he came back downstairs. "Whoever he is working for," he said figuring Slade was not doing this alone.

"Scath," said Starfire assuming that's Slade's boss or partner.

"The gem shall be the portal," said Robin repeating what the statues said. "Scath is coming, and this gem is how he gets here. If we're going to stop this him, we need to find it and destroy it."

Robin kicks down the door that leads to more staircases. Starfire though noticed that Raven was still missing. "Robin, where is Raven?"

"She's not coming," Robin replied as they head down the stairs.

Outside

Raven makes it outside as she sees the symbols on her body continue to remain. She sighed as she had hoped they would go away after she left the building. It doesn't appear to be that way as she tried to calm down. Her friends are getting close to finding out the truth, they will know what she is, and what she is destined to become.

No! She refuses to become the portal to let her father out. She refuses to let this happen, but she doesn't want her friends to find out. But she can't stop them.

Still, there might be another way for her to stop the prophecy from happening. She just hopes she will be able to help her in time.

She soon felt the ground shaking and the roars from the Hollows getting louder. She looks over and gasped when she saw ten six-tower tall Hollows appear before her. At least they appeared to look like Hollows. Only they were giants.

"W-what are those things?" she asked as the Hollows appear to turn towards her. The symbols began glowing brightly as she tried to cover her body. "A-are they here for me?"

The Hollows continued to march towards her as one of them began opening its mouth. A large glowing red light emerged as it appears to be aiming it at her. Raven saw this and created a barrier to protect herself as the attack is fired. However, Isamu appeared and blocks the attack with his sword before redirecting it away from the city to the sky.

The attack exploded in the sky as Raven looked on shocked with what happened. Isamu turns to Raven and takes notice of the symbols. Just like when he found her. Whatever happened here caused them to once again emerged.

Still, he was more focused on how she is than the symbols at the moment. "Raven, are you all, right?"

Raven snapped out of it and nods in response. "W-what are those things?"

"Menos Grande," said Isamu as he turns to the Menos. "A Hollow that was born from hundreds of Hollows mixed together. They usually reside in their world, and it is rare to find one much less six out in this world together," he turns towards Raven and to the symbols on her body. "It is as if something caused them to emerge in this world.

It is then that Raven realized she is the reason for their arrival and cursed for being the reason so many bad things are happening. "Are they strong?"

Isamu shook his head in response. "My sister and I can handle them. In the meantime, mind telling me what happened?"

Raven sighed as she got up and shook her head. "You know what it is…" it is then that Raven knew if she remains here more of these things might emerge. In order to protect her friends and the city she needs to do this. "Isamu, my friends are beneath this building. Find them, keep them safe, and tell them…I'm sorry."

"Wait what?" before Isamu could ask more Raven teleported away from the area. "Raven! Come back!" he shouted when he saw the Hollows turn their attention away from Isamu and begin walking another direction. "Ah crap!"

"Isamu!" he looks over to see his sister arriving. "I made a barrier around the area. That way we won't cause any damage around the rest of the city."

"Good, let's make this quick," said Isamu as he moved his sword up. "They are after Raven and her friends are in trouble. We need to finish them off before they try to go after her."

"Wait? Her friends are in trouble, and she is not here? Where is she?" Hikari asked as she sees the Hollows moving away.

"She…she left. To lure these things away" Isamu lied knowing she didn't abandon her friends. She left to…protect them.

Hikari knew something is up, but then noticed the mark of Trigon on the building behind them. If Raven's friends are inside, then chances are something happened to make the girl leave. So, they won't know the truth or something else? Either way she knew if they fight these Hollows, it might take too long holding back.

So, she walks in front of her brother and moves her sword up. "I'll handle them. Go find her friends and make sure they're all right."

"Hikari, no way am I leaving you to fight them alone," said Isamu knowing his sister needs his help.

"If we had to hold back, yes I would need help," said Hikari as she turns to her brother and smiled. "However, I don't intend to hold back. I intend to let out a bit of my power with these things."

Isamu turns to his sister surprised she is going to do this. For a long time, the siblings have held back their true power because their masters told them to. Out of concerned if they used their full power, they might accidentally cause some damages or harm to any civilians. However, since his sister did put up a barrier and they are in an abandoned city with no citizens around.

Isamu began to smile as he turns towards the building. "Just don't go too far. I still have to save the others remember?"

Hikari nods in response and smiled. "Don't worry. I'll make sure not to cause too noises up here."

Isamu nods as well before heading inside to help the others. Hikari turns to the Hollows and begins walking towards them as she twirls her sword around.

"All right. I know you guys want to go after my brother's soon-to-be-girlfriend. But you need to go through me first," said Hikari as her sword began glowing brightly and even begins heating up as well.

"It's been a long time since my Zanpakutō has had any fun. So…" Hikari's eyes began to glow as she began smiling some more as flames begin emitting from her weapon. "Don't disappoint her."

Titans' tower

Raven makes it back to her room in the tower as she begins to use her magic to grab a book from under the bed. She begins also lightening up some candle and clear the rest of her books away. She knew if she is going to do this, she will need to do it soon. Before she brings more chaos to the city and to her friends.

"I will stop this," she said as she begins using her magic to pull two vial containers from her bookshelf. "I will never help you and I know only one person that can help me find a way to stop this."

Raven pours the contents of the vials and pours them on the floor. She sits down and summons some handles to surround the circle. She just hope this will work and she will get the answers she is looking for. "I will stop this…I have to."

She places her hand on the book and begins chanting. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos…" a bright light surrounds Raven. "Carazon Rakashas Endere…Vaserix Endrien Azarath…Azarath, Azarath!"

A bright light appears on the ceiling as Raven is sucked through it. The portal then disappears, and Raven was gone.

That's the end of the chapter and Raven is going to try escaping. Will she succeed in where she is going? What about the others? Will they end up finding what Raven is hiding or will they end up confronting something dangerous?

Will Isamu make it in time to save them? And what is Hikari going to do to the Hollows? If you saw the episode, then you know how this will somewhat play out. But please don't spoil it for everyone else.
