Original A/N from FFnet: I know! I know it's been forever. I'm sorry! Been so busy doing so many other things and life is hectic as usual. But anywho here is a new chapter. Please read and review! Thank you all! NOW ONWARD!

ooooooooooooooooooooooooo

There was nothing for it. Everything had turned dark. Robin scanned his eyes over every corner, every crevice... nothing but the horrible darkness. It reminded him of Ravens own magic that would turn any object held within her power to a pitch black... but this was different. It was shadows... and they were everywhere. Then it all shifted, and suddenly there was voices.

They were speaking to him.

Haunting him.

Gnawing at him.

"Do not listen to them." The voice was dark and heavy with a Russian accent. Robin twisted around to see the man he had entered the building with. "Sergei!" the boy shouted. He was almost happy to see the old veteran. Almost. The Russian had entered the fray and stood beside the young man with one hand on the boys shoulder. Robin almost wanted to shiver, but there was obviously more important things going on at the moment

Sariel gave Robin and their new ally a glance before turning her attention back towards Geist. The man in white smirked at the enemies before him. "Ahh a new addition ja? Three against one? Sariel that is very unfair."

The woman in question scoffed at their adversary "Shut up." she muttered before turning her attention to her younger comrade. "We need to take him down." Robin could only nod in response. He quickly scanned the room for any kind of escape route but found nothing... seems the only thing left to do was fight.

It was getting darker. The voices were getting heavier. The two look at one another with an understanding. They both knew what had to be done.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Slade grew curious of Robins unique growing relationship with Sariel. They seemed to be now so confident in each others company. If the boy could accept a killer like Jillain's granddaughter than anything was open at this point.

"Who is this? Someone you know?" Sergei shook the boys shoulder slightly. Slade noticed how he flinched at the touch. "Bad news" was all Sariel had said. The Russian smiled at the two youths. "If he's so bad, then let's get rid of this rubbish, yes?"

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Come then! " Geist shouted out with a smirk, his german accent rolling off his tongue smoothly.

And as if on que Robin and Sariel quickly darted towards Geist himself, Sariel pointing her guns at the man in white and fired. Robin whirled around expecting to see the german laying on the floor with four bullets in his head. But nothing... The woman had already moved out of Geists range as he went to strike her with his metal claws.

They had to distract him long enough so one of them could get to Asif.

Robin had no weapons but for the combat knife he had on him, but he had no training in such a thing. So he was left with only his fists. He went to punch the man only to seemingly fall short on his distance, almost as if he punched through him. "How is that possible?' Robin thought to himself.

What did Sariel say about him?

What was he?

A medium?

Mediums are known for the abilities to speak with the dead? Ghosts? The voices? The Darkness?

Suddenly six black shadowy figures walked out as if they came from the walls of darkness itself. Their slumped figures walked as if they were in pain. They spoke as if in whispers. They had no eyes...

"What the hell?"

"Do you not recognize them little Woman? Your unit? You're so called friends?" The mans laughter rolled through the black void. However, it was cut short when the Russian aimed a few bullets into the mans head, but to no avail... Slade was slightly amused. He himself was difficult to kill and a bullet wouldn't stop him. But for bullets to whirl right through his target. He had to admit, that was something new.

"What is he?" Sergei called out to Sariel. Their target had currently vanished. The medium had seemingly turned into thin air. Sariel shock her head. "I really don't know..." Geist may of disappeared but his laughter could still be heard. The room seemed to be getting smaller. The black phantoms were getting closer. Everything seemed to be caving in on them.

"What do we do now?" Robin called out to his companion. The young woman turned her head to answer. "What does one do against the dead?"

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
