Naruto stood still, his eyes wide with disbelief as he gazed into the portal. The familiar sight of the Hokage stone faces loomed within, a stark reminder of home.

Sebastian smirked, his voice dripping with mockery. "It's exactly as you left it. And the best part? The time dilation between your world and this one is just a few minutes apart. You haven't missed much."

"Don't fall for it," Starfire warned, her voice firm. "It's an obvious trap."

Unbeknownst to Sebastian, Starfire discreetly pressed a button on her wristband, activating a homing beacon.

"A trap? Possibly," Sebastian conceded with a shrug. "But definitely not a lie."

He stepped away from the portal, motioning for Naruto to take a closer look. "At least take a peek."

Naruto hesitated, his mind racing. "Even if it is real, I can't go back until I've stopped you and gotten my powers back!"

Sebastian's eyes gleamed with interest. "Oh, so you used the Nine Tails' chakra sooner than expected. I assume you've been helping the merry band of do-gooders over the week."

Starfire, puzzled, thought to herself, "Nine Tails?"

Sebastian continued, his tone persuasive. "Look, boy, if you want your fox back, all you have to do is join us and become our newest knight for Lord Trigon. Hell, you'll even get the chance to go home."

Naruto clenched his fists, his resolve hardening. "Forget it! If you're not gonna give me what I want, I'll beat it out of you!"

Sebastian cringed, "Phrasing, bud."

With a fierce battle cry, Naruto charged at Sebastian, their fists colliding with a small shockwave. He followed up with a kick, but Sebastian dodged and countered with an elbow to Naruto's back, sending him rolling to the ground.

Starfire prepared to join the fray, but the two armored men blocked her path, brandishing their giant maces. One of them smashed his mace down, creating a large crater, but Starfire effortlessly caught the weapon with her palm and tossed the attacker aside.

Naruto summoned five shadow clones and sat cross-legged on the ground, beginning to meditate. The clones were swiftly defeated by Sebastian, who displayed inhuman speed, finishing the last one with a red energy blast.

Sebastian tilted his head, curious about Naruto's actions, but continued his advance. Before he could reach the ninja, Starfire intercepted him, wielding the maces she had taken from his men. She struck an epic pose, daring him to take another step.

Sebastian chuckled and summoned a demonic broadsword, shifting into a battle stance.

Back at Titans Tower, the team received Starfire's signal and suited up. Kid Flash sped into Raven's room, urgency in his movements.

"Rache, what's keeping you? We've been—" He looked around the cryptic room, but Raven was nowhere to be found. He regrouped with Cyborg and Robin, informing them of her absence.

Robin attempted to call Raven, but there was no response. "And she's not answering her phone," he said, frustration evident in his voice. "Damn it!"

Cyborg checked his monitors. "I got a visual downtown in the park. It's Brother Blood. He's alone, but we're gonna need extra backup."

"Contact anyone available nearby," Robin ordered. "This could get real ugly. Kid, head down there and help Naruto and Star hold him off."

"All over it," Kid Flash replied, speeding out.

Cyborg continued, "I got two Titans available."

"Any of them magic-based?" Robin asked.

"No, mainly muscle," Cyborg replied.

Though disappointed, Robin knew there was no time to complain. "Then it'll have to do. Let's move!"

Back at the park, Sebastian Blood hummed as he effortlessly dodged Starfire's barrage of mace swings, leaving a trail of destruction. He tripped over a tree branch, giving Starfire the opportunity to smash him between the maces. She grinned, but was caught off guard when she heard a whistle above. Sebastian stood casually between the maces, blowing her a playful kiss.

Angered, Starfire launched a starbolt at him, but he leaped over it, spinning down with his sword like a buzzsaw. She narrowly evaded the attack, bending her body back.

Blood trickled from a cut on Starfire's forehead. She wiped it away, glaring at Sebastian, who licked a small bit of her blood from his blade. His eyes glowed yellow, indicating he had absorbed her powers.

Reacting quickly, Starfire threw one of the maces at Sebastian, then floated into the air. She launched the remaining mace, which he dodged, but she had hidden beneath it. She fired a starbolt from behind, nearly knocking him down. Sebastian smirked at her clever tactic and fired an energy wave of his own, resulting in a beam clash.

Combining his new power with his demon magic, Sebastian's beam overpowered Starfire's, sending her plummeting. Before she hit the ground, Kid Flash arrived, spinning his arms using the air to slow her fall and catches her.

As he lowered Starfire to the ground, Kid Flash glared at Sebastian and charged. Sebastian teleported above him, sword ready to strike, but Kid Flash dodged and countered by grabbing Sebastian's sword hand and shoots him in the face with a flurry of punches. Sebastian, bleeding from the nose, stomped on Kid Flash's foot, headbutted him, and slashed his chest, ending the combo with a frontal kick that sent him flying into a tree.

Sebastian wiped his nose and licked the blood from his sword, gaining super speed. "Just keep them coming," he taunted. "I'll collect every drop of blood from you little SHITS! And feel free to drop in anytime, Raven!"

Expecting more Titans, Sebastian waited before using his new speed to finish off Kid Flash. As he prepared to strike, Naruto intervened, grabbing the sword with his bare hand. Sebastian noticed Naruto's eyes were different, and he wore a red and black cloak.

Kid Flash, dazed but conscious, chuckled. "Oh, buddy… you're about to get it now."

With sheer strength, Naruto shattered Sebastian's sword and delivered a devastating punch, sending him crashing through the park and into a public restroom.
