Teen Titans – Side Stories and After – Snippets; Foxes Upon Foxes and Magical Girls Galore

Part Three: That's One Messy Jack – O – Lantern!
/
All of the screaming had Klarion in a giddy mood, as the pumpkin moon rose higher and higher in the California sky. Gotham and the patron cities of the league had been hit to avoid any backlash from the real heroes, while the Titans geared up with John C to put this ankle biter down for a long nap.
Ami's wraith powers had been magnified by her psychic abilities that still laid dormant – She would have to one day understand her role, but for now the kids of the Titans and co were under duress; knowing only that their episodes of running and hiding could not last forever.
Klarion still stayed in shadow which made tracking him the biggest pain. Starfire and Anna had used objects in the house as weapons, but thankfully their home insurance could cover a Halloween zombie onslaught.
Aiden gripped at Ami's arm as he tried to get her to listen, but her posse of tots never wanted to be left alone. She was the mother hen, and Klarion could care less in what order it stayed that way.
~ Huumans!!! We are the ones who will rule this world!! The unforeseen shall block out the sun forever! Night will reign, and ye shall all –
"Put a sock in it! NOW!" Jackie dropped her helmet down as it landed on Ami's skull, breaking the mask, and actively freeing the kid from her trance.
Aiden ran over and scooped up his whimpering sibling. Then, Toby gaped from up in the tree. "I got it!" He gripped Luz's witches' hat as she soon held her head, rubbing her eyes and began to cry large tears. "Diablo!" She bawled out.
"I get it, we take the hat…then…. hah! I've gotten freed too!" Jackie let go and found her costume's zero gravity effect to be offline. "Oh, yeah! We did it!"
~ You will not win…! ~ The tots took a step back as Ami's fox's grin returned. "I know…" She smiled devilishly to the kids, pulling out a ton of candy from some disposed baskets by the road. "Who wants some…. chocolate !!!!!???" She shouted to the hungry eyed crowd of kids.
"We doo!!!!"

Jacklyn had relayed her sitch to the tin man and family back in the city. Soo, all they had to do was…
"Is she serious about doin' that to stop a magic curse? STEP ON IT!" Karen shouted back at her boo, while the other BOOING at her door and windows wasn't fun while driving in heavy traffic. Julian had gone wolf man, so his ears might be ok, or side burns from his costume. Cy could handle him. She just wanted her baby out of that mean ole' tree!

Bruce had gotten the memo from Nightwing, who dragged Ava and Chris to a spot with Zee where no angry teen vamps could catch them….
Red handed?
"Ow! My hel …. met?"
Chris groaned and rolled the kink out of his shoulders and neck. "What happened?"
He looked to Anna as her headpiece was pulled off by Zee with a quick yank.
"An…. Did we…. where are we. Dad?"
Dick shook his head and smiled, safe. Ava was ok, they all had found out the truth in time. Good.
"Constantine is currently going after Klarion's location – but I think…" Zee held her temple, then with a gasp returned her gaze to her three companions. "He's not in this dimension! But…an alternate Halloween!"

"He. Found another door…" Raven was fuming and John was plumb exhausted.
" I…." Dami took an inhale in before letting out a scream to the heavens.
" HATE! HALLOWEEN!!!"
/
Upside down pumpkins.
Floating ghosts that looked like two-dimensional cut outs of kids in sheets.
Bats that wouldn't stop making hissing sounds in his ears!!!
"Give me the word, say it and I'll stop this all right –
"Quiet, Damian." Raven hushed him as a new sound erupted from the ground.
"Suffering spooks!" John hiccupped in surprise, earning a glare from the youngest Titan.
" DON'T." He warned. "No puns. Whatsoever !"
/
"So, to put it firmly…. young Damian has –
"He, John Constantine and the Titan Raven traced Klarion's location down into another dimension…" Bruce sighed. "That resembles a more…. animated "Halloweenton Ville."
The butler, of all the times he might have tried not to laugh before, he almost couldn't resist this time. Until Bruce got a visual that included dancing skeletons; ten, annoying the heck out of the bat's own flesh and blood in the background on the bat computer's, very large screen, he felt the urge growing. Must have been Klarion the witch boy's bloody curse.
"That is quite frightening indeed, m…master Bruce…" Alfred attempted to withhold his part down to a rather dead chuckle.
Bruce would have laughed, had he known how to properly in this situation.
"We can't let Klarion make things, worse…. And, any way to call up Leslie?" Batman furrowed his brow.
"Young Master Damian may be eventually facing a new phobia you say?... I'll get on it right away, sir." With that, Bruce had his time to try not to snicker under his chin as the bat got to work on locating a solution to their magical fiasco.
~ Zatanna, can you hear me. ~

~ We were soo close! If those heroes figure out how to stop my zombie slaves, we can't take over like before! I need a new plan – what do you mean I'm being too melodramatic?? ~
Very scary, when he wasn't trying to gaslight the cat familiar Teakle. Dami scowled as they watched the shadow materialize, but John and Raven had to do for the hardest jobs.
Bringing the boy witch (warlock) to the front forward and then making him cough up the counter spell for the trick or treaters to be freed. Was a really risky move and Teakle would poke an eye out, while Dami was primarily a dog person. Cats just made him itch, especially Selina Kyle.
At fifteen, he was more a "yipping teen pup" instead of a full fledged guard dog against inferior felines.
The yapping married couple turned around; Klarion had gotten that quick on a cue?
Raven flinched as Johnny and she could only face the horned warlock.
~ Ah, just the wizard without his partner, today? What do you think of my secret lair?? Isn't it just fantastic –
"No." Dami shot from behind the two adults. "Nope, nada, nay. It's just a way to escape into your sad fantasy and not take your own problems –
~ Problem? ~ Snorted the wizard. ~ Who says there is a problem here, Teakle? Have you not met, yet? He's a very good –
"He's just your way to have more power. "Raven shot at the suited monkey in his cage of cartoon antics. "We know how to save our friends and family. You have no power over them –
~ That's where YOU are WRONG! ~ Klarion hissed at the Azarathian witch. ~ I'm dead certain that I've still taken over the minds of a great majority of children in your time, heroes…Teakle said we can leave once they run out of candy to keep them fed… ~ That devious smile had John turn to his cohorts.
"Sounds serious, mate –
"No! He's just stal –
A rumble interrupted Damian's assault of assumptions. That, couldn't be good?
~ The candy will be no more, and you humans will wipe each other out in something the kids these days call…." Purging, I think…~ The warlock's incorrect title introduction was…not unsettling enough.
"The…"
"Purge?" John cocked a brow, recalling an American box office flop.
Dami shook his head. " Terrible film. I specifically told Anna to stop lendin –
~ Humans are disgusting, snoot faced and crude as I am – but we magical beings are better…so they can die to make way for the destruction of their world! A warring of your worlds! Teakle thought that I was calling a bluff, didn -
~ Yow! Quit it! Stupid Teakle…. ~ The muttering sorcerer was getting stronger again, his voice even swapped in that hour. Raven got ready to cast, as did John C. "It's now or never, mate. You're in over your noggin and we know someone can help! This is too much and, if you throw off the delicate bal –
~ Oh, but dear wizard? In my realm of evil and scorn now, chaos is a VERY GOOD THING. ~
John gritted his fists and took that answer as a fat, "no."
"You asked for it, lad. And now you'll get the boot from this plane…For Good!"
