Chapter 38: The Beast Within

The day shifted into evening in Jump City while the sun began to set near the ocean, making the water sparkle with moving lights. The Teen Titans were hanging out in the Tower watching Starfire and Sora train with their keyblades. It's been about a week since their battle with Brother Blood and since then there has been no news of the H.I.V.E. Leader or Maleficent and Pete. Along with that, Sephiroth hasn't made a move or hasn't been seen for awhile, which had Sora a little worried for what the man had planned. But he couldn't worry about that now, since Starfire's flames were more dangerous at the moment.

"Hot, hot, hot, hot!" Sora yelled, skating across the room on ice in order to avoid Starfire's fire spells. The other teens cheered on from the sidelines for each fighter.

"Go Starfire! You got him!" Robin cheered.

"Aw yeah, girl! Keep him on his toes!" Cyborg yelled.

"C'mon Sora! You can do it!" Rose said, with Stitch cheering from her shoulders.

"This is better than anything on TV!" Beast Boy said, munching on some popcorn. Raven was sitting next to him watching the fight intently but not cheering like the others. "Raven, you want some?" Beast Boy offered, shaking the bag next to her and making some fall onto her lap.

"No thanks," Raven said, dusting them off. Beast Boy shrugged and stuffed more kernels into his mouth. Meanwhile, Sora continued to run across the wall until Starfire's magic ran out. Sora took notice and lunged towards her with a slash. She quickly blocked the attack and the combo that Sora unleashed on her and quickly flew up into the air in order to gain some distance and readied another fire spell but Sora beat her to the punch and fired a blizzard spell at the tip of her keyblade, cancelling each other out and covering Starfire's view in smoke. Suddenly, a powerful gust of wind blew her into a nearby wall and crash into it, making her fall to the ground and drop her keyblade. Before she could get up, Sora quickly ran up to her and held the keyblade to her chest.

"Good match, Star," Sora said with a smile. Starfire returned the smile while Sora dismissed his blade and held a hand out to her, which she gladly took. "You definitely kept me on the run-around but next time we do training, we should work on other spells for you to learn, okay?" He offered.

"Oh, that sounds glorious, Sora. I cannot wait to learn more!" Starfire celebrated, while the others walked up to them.

"Great fight you guys," Robin said.

"Man, I thought for sure you had him," Cyborg said.

"And she almost did too, until he got serious," Rose said, with Stitch latched to her head.

"Is there anything that Key thing can't do?!" Beast Boy said, excited while still chewing on popcorn.

"Well, it can't shapeshift into animals," Sora said sheepishly with a shrug.

"No but it can change into other weapons," Raven said.

"Please, may we head to the room of eating. I believe I am quite famooshed," Starfire said, making the others chuckle.

"Its famished Star. But yeah, we could eat, especially if Cy is cooking," Sora when the alarms went off, alerting them to a crime.

"Dinner will have to wait, y'all," Cyborg said.

"Let's go!" Robin yelled, making everyone run out.

(Later, at an isolated research facility)

Sora crashed into a nearby stack of boxes after being knocked aside by the criminal they were fighting. The room had a bunch of desks and computers, dogs locked in cages and large storage tanks filled with green chemicals.

"Of all the villains, why did it have to be this guy?" Sora asked. Said criminal was a man wearing a gigantic, muscular, red full-body suit of armor with gray highlights and a gray A set in the breastplate. This is Adonis.

"You wimps think you can take down Adonis? Bring it on!" Adonis said in a Californian surfer accent while he cracked his knuckles. The team regrouped while Beast Boy stood in front of everyone.

"Dude, it is totally brunged!...branged!" Beast Boy tried to retort.

"Ooh, bad grammar. That oughta scare him," Raven joked, making a vein throb in Beast Boy's forehead.

"Titans Go!" Robin yelled as everyone charged. Robin attacked first with Beast Boy as a wolf behind him. Adonis manages to block Robin's attack and knock Beast Boy away but is pushed back by beams from Sora, Cyborg, Starfire, and Raven. Robin goes for another attack with Ravager at his side as the two unleash a barrage of slashes and bashes together but none of their attacks even dent Adonis as he punches Robin into the ceiling and knocks Ravager through the wall. Angered at Robin being knocked away, Starfire fired a few starbolts at Adonis's face and chest before grabbing a nearby cabinet and launching it towards him. But the muscled criminal drops to his knees and catches the cabinet in his hands.

"No pain, no gain!" Adonis yelled before heaving the cabinet right back to its sender, who is plowed all the back to a nearby wall. Raven uses her magic to bind Adonis while Sora transforms his keyblade into a set of claw gauntlets but Adonis manages to free himself, knocking the two away. Raven tries to get up but Adonis quickly pins her shoulders to the ground.

"Let me go!" Raven demanded, trying to free herself.

"*purrs* You're feisty," Adonis flirts. Raven uses her powers to disappear into the ground. Sora takes the time to blast Adonis away with a powerful beam of light, sending the criminal rolling across the ground. Sora continued his assault as he leaped towards where Adonis landed and attacked with his claws, bringing some good damage to the suit until Adonis got lucky, grabbing Sora's arm and throwing him into a nearby desk and crashing through a wall. Cyborg took that chance to attack the criminal with multiple punches to the chest being landed until Adonis once again grabbed Cyborg by the fist and punching him into a desk.

"Nobody out-muscles Adonis!" Said criminal said, flexing his armored chest.

"Oh yeah?" Beast Boy said, drawing his attention. Well, my muscles may be small and ropy but they're not…I mean…," He said, loosing track of what he was saying. But he's quickly forced to dodge when Adonis goes in for a leaping smash. Beast Boy turns into a bull and charges at him but Adonis literally grabs him by the horns, stopping him in his tracks and tosses him into a nearby table. Sora crawls out of the hole he made and looked to see Beast Boy struggling with Adonis.

"Hold on, Beast Boy. I'm coming," Sora said, summoning his keyblade back to his hand. He shot a fire spell directly in Adonis's face, knocking him back and allowing Beast Boy to send him flying with a monkey kick. The two continued to double team Adonis until the criminal grabbed a nearby desk and tossed it at the two.

"BB, look out!" Sora yelled, pushing Beast Boy away as the desk crashed into him, sending him flying away.

"Sora!" Beast Boy yelled but Adonis interrupted him with a cheap shot where he crashed into a pile of equipment which collapsed over him.

"What's the matter, wuss? Have to rely on your friends? Don't you know how to fight like a man?" Adonis taunted. Beast Boy growled in anger and narrowed his eyes.

"I'm not a man…I'm an animal!" Beast Boy yelled, turning into a roaring Sasquatch and leaping towards Adonis, who quickly moves out of the way but is unable to move when Beast Boy rams into him as a rhino and he crashes into a wall. He slowly looks up only to see a green ankylosaurus tail swinging across his face, sending him sliding to the ground. Beast Boy quickly turns into a lion and leaves a set of claw marks across Adonis's chest and then quickly turns into a grizzly bear and pushes him across the room. Meanwhile, the other Titans watch in shock while Cyborg and Starfire lift the desk off of Sora.

"You ok, Sora?" Cyborg said, offering a hand to him. Sora took it while he saw Beast Boy taking Adonis on his own.

"I'm fine. Is Beast Boy alright?" Sora asked, walking up to the others.

"We…think so," Raven said. Everyone's eyes widened when they saw Beast Boy and Adonis heading right for the chemicals.

"Beast Boy, careful! The chemicals!" Robin warned but the green Titan didn't listen as he slammed Adonis into the storage tank, rupturing it and releasing the green liquid over Adonis and Beast Boy. Beast Boy began to slash at Adonis's chest with multiple claw strikes until the armor began to sparkle and finally exploded like a firecracker, destroying the front of it and making Adonis fall to his knees and onto his face. The real Adonis, turned out to be a small, skinny man wearing a red jumpsuit as the armor falls over in a heap. Beast Boy turns back into a human covered in the chemicals and now sporting a fierce scowl on his face.

"Who's the tough guy now?" Beast Boy asked, walking away from the defeated criminal.

"Um…good job," Robin said.

"Nice intensity," Cyborg added.

"Yeah. Have any good freak-outs lately?" Raven said, making Beast Boy stop and get in her face.

"I just got sick of being pushed around," Beast Boy quipped.

"Beast Boy, you feeling alright?" Sora asked.

"Yeah, better than I ever felt before," Beast Boy said, with the scowl still on before walking away from them.

"So, that just happened?" Ravager said.

"Is Beast Boy okay?" Starfire asked.

"I dunno Star. But for now, let's take Adonis to prison," Robin said.

(Next day at Titans Tower)

Morning came while the sun shined into the Tower, illuminating the windows. Sora was making his way to the living room with Stitch crawling on the floor next to him in order to make some breakfast for the two of them. The two were close to the door when it suddenly opened itself, revealing Beast Boy walking out of the room.

"Oh hey, BB. You feeling better from last night?" Sora asked.

"Yeah, tons better. After standing up to Adonis, I'm done being pushed around. Now, I'm gonna go work out. Excuse me," Beast Boy said, pushing past Sora, confusing the keyblade wielder.

"O-kay? Well, see ya around," Sora said confused, while the changeling walk away from them.

"Weird," Stitch said, looking up at Sora.

"Yeah but how he stood up to him like that, I mean, there's nothing wrong with him not wanting to be pushed around anymore," Sora said, walking into the ops room to see Robin sitting at the kitchen counter with an empty plate in front of him and a confused look painted all over his face. "Morning Robin," Sora said, snapping the boy wonder out of his confusion.

"Oh, hey Sora," Robin said.

"Are you alright? You look really confused," Sora asked.

"Did Beast Boy tell you that he eats meat now?" Robin asked, which Sora and Stitch responded with equally confused looks.

"No, I thought he was still eating that fake tofu stuff. Why?" Sora asked.

"Because he just ate my breakfast that consisted of ham, eggs and orange juice," Robin said, annoyed.

"Wait, what? That doesn't sound like him at all. Before we came in, he just brushed past us like we were in his way or something," Sora said, making some eggs while Stitch chewed on an apple.

"Hhm, We should keep an eye on him. Just for today," Robin said, thinking to himself.

"Alright, if that's what you think is best," Sora said.

(Later, in the Ops Center)

Beast Boy was laid out on the couch blazing through the Tv channels while multiple empty soda cans were littered all over the place. Starfire flies into the room with a smile on her face and stops next to the couch.

"Friend! My most favorite program of the television, World of Fungus, is about to begin. Might we please watch?" Starfire asked. Beast Boy doesn't even look towards her while he continues to flip through the channels.

"No," Beast Boy replied.

"But you are merely flipping," Starfire pointed out.

"I said no!" Beast Boy said angered before chugging the rest of his soda and lets out a loud belch. He then holds up the empty can to Starfire. "Now be a good girl and get me another root beer," He said. Starfire glared at him in response before marching away in anger. She just got to the door before almost running into Rose.

"Star? What's wrong?" Rose asked upon seeing Starfire's angered face.

"The friend Beast Boy is not being very nice," Starfire said, walking out of the room. Rose looked back at Starfire before turning to look at said changeling in confusion.

(Later)

During the afternoon, Cyborg and Beast Boy were in a intense video game race with Cyborg as the white car and a frustrated Beast Boy as the green car. Things quickly ramp up when the white car rams the green car into the guardrail in order to take the lead, angering Beast Boy.

"Dude! No fair! You can't do that!" Beast Boy yelled.

"I can, I did, and baby, that's why I'm gonna win," Cyborg gloated. Suddenly, Beast Boy stood up and threw the controller to the ground, destroying it.

"That's what you think!" Beast Boy yelled, suddenly forming one of his hands into a set of claws and rakes them across Cyborg's chest, leaving some claw marks on his chest panel, though it barely fazed him. Beast Boy stomps away while Cyborg remained seated.

"Yo, man, chill! It's just a stupid game!" Cyborg said.

"Cyborg?" a voice said to the right and he turned to see Sora walking in. "What happened? I heard some yelling and then some smashing," He asked.

"Yeah, BB just rage quitted on this game and then scratched me," Cyborg said, showing his chest.

"He did what?!" Sora said, checking on the marks. "I can't believe he did this," Sora said.

"Same. Man, what's gotten into him?" Cyborg asked.

"I dunno. He's been acting weird all day," Sora said, worried.

(Later, in the Training Room)

Sora and Rose were heading towards the training room in order to do some light sparing so that Rose could upgrade her swords.

"I think they might need stronger material or something. It just feels like they're not doing enough damage as they use too," Rose said, looking at one of her blades.

"Hhm, well let's put it through some tests and see what we can do to possibly upgrade it," Sora said.

"Thanks Sora, I really appreciate your help," Rose said, while the two made it to the door.

"Anytime Rose," Sora said, opening the door, but his eyes widened at the sight behind it. "What the-" He asked while Rose followed his gaze with the same surprised look. What was once a clean training room, was a training room with a giant hole in the wall and the punching bag was now resting on the ground with Beast Boy, as a wolf, tearing into it and ripping out the stuffing from it with ferocious vigor.

"Beast Boy?" Rose asked, snapping Beast Boy out of his crazed attack. He turned back to human and started cleaning out the stuffing from his teeth.

"What the heck happened in here?" Sora asked. But the green changeling didn't answer at first and began to walk away.

"We need some new training equipment," Beast Boy, brushing past his two teammates.

"Are you not even going to help us clean up?" Rose asked, with her arms crossed.

"Tired myself out," Beast Boy responded, walking away from them.

"What is up with him?!" Rose asked, annoyed.

"I'm starting to think those chemicals from last night did something to him. He's never acted like this before," Sora said.

"We should've grabbed a sample before we left that factory, so we could see what it's supposed to do," Rose said.

"Agreed. C'mon let's clean all this up and then we can work on your blades," Sora said, taking his jacket off.

(Later, in the Tower Hallways)

Raven was walking to her room while reading on of her books. She was so immersed into the volume, that she didn't see Beast Boy marching towards her, nor did she see him brush into her, making her gasp and drop the book to the floor. She picks it up and looks over at Beast Boy who hasn't even broke stride.

"Sorry," Raven said, making Beast Boy stop.

"You better be. Why don't you look where you're going?" Beast Boy retorted.

"On second thought, I'm not sorry, and you're a jerk," Raven shot back and began walking away again. She continued on her way when Beast Boy suddenly appeared in front of her again, this time with an angered look on his face.

"You know, Raven, I've been a really nice guy for a really long time. I've put up with your insults and your attitude, and I've had it! Consider this a warning. As of last night, Mr. Nice Guy has left the building," Beast Boy threatened, leaning into Raven's face.

"Is this the part where I'm supposed to be intimidated?" Raven asked, barely fazed.

"No. This is!" Beast Boy said before turning into a Sasquatch, making Raven back away in fear. She readies her powers while Beast Boy raises a fist towards her and prepares to strike when suddenly a grappling hook is shot and it hooks around Beast Boy's wrist, restraining him. He turns to see Rose standing behind him, while holding onto the rope. He roars at her and pulls his arm, making Rose lose her footing and land next to Raven. He gets ready to attack again when his feet are suddenly frozen to the ground making him fall over.

"Beast Boy!" Robin's voice said, breaking the tension. The three turn to see Robin, Sora, Stitch, Cyborg, and Starfire standing there. Sora had his keyblade pointed at Beast Boy while small ice particles floated from the tip.

"Leave them alone!" Robin yelled.

"What's gotten into you, man?" Cyborg asked, with his arms crossed.

"You are behaving like a royal zarbnarf!" Starfire said.

"Bad friend!" Stitch chattered. Beast Boy turned back into a human, freeing himself from the ice and walked past Raven and Rose, who stared daggers at him, and marched up into the others.

"Look. This is who I am now. You guys don't like it? Tough!" Beast Boy argued.

"If you want to change into a tough guy? Fine! But don't go hurting us and threatening Raven and Rose. We don't want to deal with it!" Sora said. Beast Boy stared down at Sora while the keyblade wielder did the same until Beast Boy did a pretend lunge, making Sora ready his keyblade. "Don't…make me, BB," Sora said.

"What? Afraid to fight me?" Beast Boy taunted.

"No, afraid that I'll hurt you," Sora said. Beast Boy found himself at a loss before letting out an angered grunt and walking away from everyone. Once he was gone, Sora made the keyblade disappear and walked up to Raven and Rose.

"You two ok?" Sora asked, placing a comforting hand on their shoulders.

"Yeah, thanks for the save there, Rose," Raven said.

"Of course, glad I got there in time," Rose said.

"What will we do about Beast Boy?" Starfire asked.

"Well, Sora and I think that that those chemicals did something to him and that we should run some tests to see what's going on," Rose said.

"Agreed but we should until later when everyone's calmed down. I don't want anyone else getting hurt because of this," Robin said.

"Sounds good but for now lets get some shut eye," Cyborg said.

"Alright let's go," Sora said.

(Later, in Sora's room)

Sora and Stitch were relaxing in his room playing a little game of catch involving four tennis balls instead of one, since Stitch was using his extra arms and Sora was keeping up with him with his Flowmotion, making it quite the spectacle to see and experience. They continued to play around when the door suddenly opened, revealing Raven.

"Hey So-Whoa," Raven said, seeing the two play. Sora quickly landed while Stitch caught all the balls in his hands.

"Hey, Rae. You ok?" Sora asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I just thought I heard something earlier. But I actually came over to say thanks, for saving us back there," Raven said sheepishly.

"Oh, well your welcome. I mean, I couldn't believe that Beast Boy would actually try to hurt you so I had to stop him. Hopefully, we can figure out what's wrong with him soon, so no one else will get hurt," Sora said.

"We will. I mean, It's not the first crazy situation we've been through-" Raven said when suddenly a loud roar interrupted her. She and Sora looked down the hallway in confusion and shock.

"What was that?" Raven asked.

"I don't know. I'm gonna go look," Sora said about to walk down the hallway when suddenly a huge shadowed monster came charging down the hallway and smacked Sora with one of it's claws, making Sora cry out in pain and crash through one of the nearby walls.

"Sora!" Raven yelled, about to go to her friends aid, when the creature got in her way. She gets a good look at and sees that it is a giant, hairy, creature with white eyes and a slobbering mouth which was making snarls and growls at the dark Titan, causing fear to travel over her body. Sora was buried under the rubble from the hole and tried to dig himself out but the creature hit him so hard that her was near unconsciousness but the last thing he heard was Raven's scream and the howl from the creature.

"R…Raven," Sora said before seeing nothing but a blue and black blur.

(Later…)

"-ora…Sora. Sora!" Sora heard and his eyes slowly opened and closed before suddenly opening to see Robin, Rose, Cyborg, Starfire, and Stitch crowded around him.

"Raven!" Sora said, quickly getting up and running to his room with the others trailing behind him. He got to his room and saw nothing but some claw marks.

"Where is she? Where's Raven?!" Sora yelled, worried.

"We don't know. She wasn't in her room and we thought you knew but Stitch found you buried under the rubble," Robin said.

"There was…a noise and then…that creature! It must've taken her," Sora said.

"What creature? What did it look like?" Rose asked.

"I…didn't get a good look at it when it hit me…it was just a huge animal with claws and hair," Sora said.

"You do not think…" Starfire gasped.

"Only one way to find out," Cyborg said, heading to Beast Boy's room with everyone following him. They came upon a broken down door the room was covered roof to floor in claw marks. But no sign of Beast Boy and Raven. Robin walked in and inspected the marks.

"What happened in here?" Robin asked.

"I don't know but we know where it went," Rose said, pointing at the window, which was broken open and marks leading towards the city.

(Later, in the city)

"All right, team. We've got two Titans missing and no explanation. We need answers, so split up!" Robin said from his R-cycle while Cyborg followed him in the T-Car. Starfire took to the skies while Sora and Ravager used the rooftops to search around. Sora landed on one roof and worriedly looked around until Ravager caught up to him.

"Sora, you okay?" Ravager asked.

"Y-yeah, I'm just worried," Sora said. Ravager grabbed his hand and gave him a comforting squeeze in response.

"We'll find her. She's gonna be okay," Ravager said. Sora squeezed her hand in response.

"Thanks, Rose," Sora said, when he suddenly saw a giant creature jump into the air. He quickly pulled his communicator out. "I saw it jump from one of the roofs. It's on street level," Sora said while he and Ravager leaped after it.

"On our way," Robin and Cyborg said as the sound of their vehicles roared through the city and Starfire flew quickly to find them driving until they stopped at a man hole cover. Sora and Ravager landed next to them as everyone crowded around the hole.

"She was here just a second ago!" Cyborg said.

"And the creature landed here too!" Sora said.

"No, they went down there," Robin said, tracking Raven's signal. "The signal's coming from underground!" He said. Cyborg quickly grabbed the manhole cover and moved it aside, opening the ladder to the sewers.

"Ugh, the smell," Ravager said.

"We'll have to deal for now," Sora said, jumping right into the hole with everyone soon following him. They kept running towards the signal until it came upon the brooch belt that Raven wears, revealing it to be the source of the signal. Sora picks it up and inspects it. "Raven…" Sora said to himself.

"Oh, I wish to know that our friends are okay now please," Starfire said.

"Me too, Star. I can't find Beast Boy's signal either," Ravager said.

"It's not Beast Boy I'm worried about," Robin said.

"Why not? He's missing remember," Cyborg said when suddenly a loud growl echoes across the sewer.

"Sounds like its coming from everywhere," Sora said.

"Then split up!" Robin said. Everyone obeyed the order and looked around the entire space of the sewer tracking the sound until Cyborg found something, calling everyone back. Once everyone got together they found Cyborg holding Beast Boy's belt. Suddenly the sound of fighting echoes from around the corner and a Solider Heartless crashes into the pillar, before disappearing.

"Was that a Heartless?" Robin asked.

"Yep," Sora confirmed, running around the corner to see a giant humanoid creature, ten feet tall, covered in green hair and looked super strong too and in it's jaws was Raven being held by her cloak, who was also unconscious too. Surrounding the creature were multiple Heartless trying to attack it. Sora and Starfire summoned their keyblades while everyone else readied their powers.

"Let's get rid of the Heartless first and then deal with that monster," Sora said.

"Sounds like a plan. Titans Go!" Robin said as everyone charged. Sora and Starfire slashed the Heartless while Robin, Cyborg, and Ravager kept them busy but the creature considered them the team a threat as well and swatted them away along with some Heartless. Sora and Starfire finished off the last until the creature was left, with Raven still in her teeth.

"Put her down," Sora ordered, pointing his keyblade at the creature. It growled at him a little before actually complying and gently sets Raven down on the ground. Sora slowly put his keyblade down and began to slowly walk up to Raven when suddenly Robin latched onto the creature's back with his staff.

"Sora, get Raven. We'll hold him off," Robin said while Cyborg tackled the creature away. Ravager and Starfire flew in to join them while Sora ran over and picked up Raven and took her safely away.

"Raven. Raven, wake up please," Sora said but she remained asleep. She tried to shake her awake but it didn't work until he heard the others struggling with the creature. He gently put her down and went to help the others. He ran over to see Ravager get thrown aside and Starfire get pinned to the ground. Sora quickly threw his keyblade at the creature, distracting it as he fired two blizzard spells at its feet. Sora ran up to it and attacked it with an air combo before knocking it away. It roared at him before running towards him quickly. Sora didn't have time to block or dodge and he was punched away but he managed to land on his feet as everyone launched something at the creature: Sora's beam, Starfire's bolts, Cyborg's cannon, Robin's discs, and Ravager's bombs; all put together to create a massive explosion that covers the entire tunnel in smoke. They hear the creature snarl for a little bit more until all is silent and the smoke clears. The team run past it to have the shock of their life. Lying in the place of the creature was Beast Boy, his clothes torn up and badly dazed and confused. He gets up from the ooze and stares back at the others.

"Where am I?" Beast Boy said as he turned to everyone staring at him with a mixture of surprise, shock, horror, and anger. "Why's everybody looking at me like that?" Beast Boy said, confused.

(Later, back at the Tower)

The Titans were back at the Tower checking on Beast Boy and Raven's condition. Raven was hooked up to a heart monitor that was beeping, indicating that she was alive but she was floating on one of the beds and hasn't even moved an inch since they got home. Sora was sitting next to her bed and holding her hand worried about her while Rose stood by him with a comforting hand on his shoulder. Beast Boy was sitting nearby in a large chair while he was being checked on too while everyone else stood by.

"She's alive, but she's in some kinda trance," Cyborg told everyone.

"S-she's gonna be okay though, right?" Sora said, worried.

"That's up to her now, Sora," Robin said.

"Raven's strong. She's gonna pull through," Rose said.

"I know. It's just the last time I saw someone like this, I found out that she lost her heart and she was motionless like this," Sora said.

"And you're telling me…I did that to her? That's impossible!" Beast Boy said, while everyone turned to face him.

"We found you with her," Robin said.

"No! I wouldn't! I mean, we had a fight, but I would never…," Beast Boy argued.

"She was in your teeth," Starfire pointed out.

"That's a lie!" Beast Boy yelled out. Robin walks up to him after that outburst and stared him down.

"I'm going to ask you to keep your voice down," Robin said menacingly. Beast Boy stares him down a little before finally relaxing.

"What's happening to me?" Beast Boy asked.

"I'm picking up traces of recombinant DNA. It's not human," Cyborg said.

"The chemicals, right?" Rose asked and Cyborg nodded in return.

"Because of the shape-shifting, his genetic code was always unstable. Maybe it's just…finally falling apart," Cyborg said.

"Well, at least it did some good right?" Sora suggested.

"What do you mean?" Beast Boy asked.

"When we found you, you were fighting off the Heartless, like you were protecting her from them. It wasn't until they were gone is when we fought," Sora said. Beast Boy looked down in shock at everything he's done so far.

"Raven…she's gonna be all right, isn't she? I mean…she's not moving. What have I done?" Beast Boy said, horrified.

"You need to tell me what happened after you attacked Sora," Robin demanded.

"I told you, I don't remember, any of it. We had that argument, I went to my room, I was angry, and then nothing. Claws…a crash…a scream…nothing," Beast Boy answered but Robin didn't like the response and walked closer to the changeling.

"Claws, a crash, and a scream isn't nothing. What else?" Robin asked

"That's all," Beast Boy said.

"No it isn't. You have to focus," Robin said.

"I am!" Beast Boy said, straining himself.

"You have to remember!" Robin pushed more.

"I'm trying!" Beast Boy said again.

"Try harder! If you can't tell me what happened, I have to assume the worst. I have to put you in jail. You need to remember!" Robin pushed once more, making Beast Boy sweat in response.

"I CAN'T!" Beast Boy yelled out as his heart monitor began to beat rapidly and he began to groan and writhe in his chair.

"Robin, that's enough!" Sora said as he and the others walked over.

"No!" Robin warned as Beast Boy continued to writhe around.

"Get away from me!" Beast Boy warned as he began to change.

"What is…?" Starfire began to ask but it's too late as Beast Boy's outfit ripped apart and he fully changed back into the creature from before. Everyone backs away and crowds around Raven's prone form while Beast Boy let out a roar and rushed straight for the sleeping Titan. Cyborg and Rose fire they're grappling hooks at the changeling's arms in order to restrain him while Robin and Starfire tried to push him back but Beast Boy easily knocked them aside and pulled on the lines and threw Rose and Cyborg behind him. Cyborg and Starfire try to barrel into him but Beast Boy jumps over them and manages to kick Starfire into the wall and stomp on Cyborg all at once Robin and Rose soon attacked him with a combination of bo-staff and swords and they managed to get some good hits in until Beast Boy swatted them away like a fly. The only one left was Sora who stood next to Raven's bed. Beast Boy rushed at him and almost bit him but Sora quickly summoned his keyblade and stopped Beast Boy from a few millimeters of actually taking a bite.

"Beast Boy, stop! It's your friends. You know it's your friends," Sora said. Beast Boy slowly began to calm down while Sora lowered his keyblade. Suddenly, one of Robin's discs bounce against Beast Boy's back before exploding while Starfire launches some starbolts. This causes the wild changeling to roar and run past Sora and the others and crash through the hall, heading back to the city.

"Starfire, guard Raven in case he comes back. Everyone else, let's go," Robin said while everyone ran out. Sora lagged behind though and looked at Raven in worry.

"Do not worry, Sora. She will be safe with me," Starfire responded, making Sora smile in relief.

"Thanks Star," Sora said running off.

(Later, back in the City)

Beast Boy was running across the rooftops avoiding the Titans until Sora and Rose landed in front of him.

"Beast Boy, we're only trying to help you out. Please stop!" Rose said. Beast Boy howled in response and leaped over them and onto the street. He was about to run off again but the T-Car got in his way and Cyborg pointed his cannon at the Changeling. The two had a stare off until Cyborg lowered his cannon for a little, until Robin drove behind Beast Boy, cutting him off. Beast Boy snarled and jumped onto the T-Car roof and jumped back onto the rooftops with Sora, Rose, and Robin behind him.

"We have to slow him down!" Sora yelled out to the two.

"Got it," Rose said, firing a grappling hook at his leg and attached it to one of the roofs, slowing him down for a little, allowing Sora and Robin to shoot at him.

"Sorry BB," Sora said, firing along with Robin. The projectiles hit him while he let out an agonized roar across the city.

(Meanwhile, back at the Tower)

Upon hearing the echoing roar, Raven suddenly woke up and stood up while holding her head. Starfire, surprised by Raven's wakeup, walked over to her.

"Don't worry, you are safe," Starfire said.

"Is Sora alright? What happened?" Raven asked.

"Yes, Sora is fine. He and the others are after Beast Boy, so he would not harm you," Starfire said.

"He didn't hurt us. He saved us," Raven replied.

"From what?" Starfire asked, confused.

(Meanwhile, back at the Sewers)

Beast Boy landed in the sewers again and tried to avoid the pursuing Titans but was once again stopped by said team.

"Beast Boy! Please, stop!" Sora yelled but was only answered by a snarl.

"Just chill, man! It doesn't have to go down like this!" Cyborg said but Beast Boy only responded by readying himself.

"When I move, hit him with everything you've got," Robin ordered.

"We can't. We'll hurt him," Sora said. What no one noticed was another creature like Beast Boy, only it was red instead of green, circled behind the Titans. Beast Boy noticed and roared in response while leaping towards the other creature.

"Now!" Robin ordered but the red creature tackled into Cyborg while other Heartless tackled into Robin, Sora, and Rose. Sora slashed some away before creating a ball of light, illuminating the tunnels, revealing several Heartless, Beast Boy, and the red creature.

"There's two of these things?!" Cyborg asked, blasting a Heartless away.

"And what are the Heartless doing here? I thought they were after Raven?" Rose asked.

"They weren't after Raven," Robin answered.

"It doesn't matter, Beast Boy needs help," Sora said, seeing the green creature being tossed around by the red one.

"Ok, Sora, go help him. We'll deal with the Heartless," Rose said. Sora nodded and ran after Beast Boy, who was knocked through a wall into another tunnel where the red one followed him.

"Beast Boy!" Sora yelled and placed a hand on Beast Boy's furry shoulder. Suddenly, a burst of light appeared from Sora before his clothes changed to green and an afterimage of a bear appeared Sora while he and the bear let out a powerful roar. The red one let out a roar as it charged and Sora and Beast Boy attacked. The red one tried to swipe at them but Sora blocked it with his arm, which was powered by a bear, allowing Beast Boy to punch it in the face. Sora then followed it up with multiple kicks to the red one's face due to now having the speed of a monkey. The red creature recovered and blocked Sora's attack and threw him into a nearby wall and punched Beast Boy away. Beast Boy growled and tackled into the red creature while Sora kicked him away. Beast Boy continued the assault with multiple attacks with Sora attacking him with lion claws until the two became a giant flurry of claws strikes and punches until they kicked the red creature up into the air and punch him back down into the ground. Sora and Beast Boy land on the ground while Beast Boy turns back into human and Sora reverts to normal while the others run back in. Beast Boy falls to the ground but Sora catches him.

"Easy BB," Sora said, gently laying him on the ground. Robin and the others ran over to the other creature only to see that it was now a familiar criminal.

"Adonis," Robin said, seeing the skinny man buried in the ground.

"Should've seen that coming," Rose said, putting her swords away.

(Later, back at the Tower)

Sora and Raven were looking for Beast Boy to talk to him about the events that happened that day and they eventually found him sitting at the edge of the island and staring into the water.

"Hey Beast Boy," Sora said, getting his attention.

"So…he was the one who hurt you guys, right? Not me?" Beast Boy asked.

"He broke into the Tower to attack you…and wound up attacking us, too," Raven said.

"I can't believe I ate meat. I acted like a jerk. I'm sorry," Beast Boy apologized.

"It's alright. You weren't yourself and its in the past now," Sora said, sitting next to him.

"Cyborg says the chemicals at the lab messed with my DNA, unleashed something…primal," Beast Boy said, still looking at his reflection.

"And he gave you an antidote. You're better now," Raven replied.

"What I still don't understand is why the Heartless came after me?" Beast Boy asked.

"Because your heart was vulnerable," Sora said, catching his attention. "The chemicals did something to bring out your darkness. As soon as you transformed, you were more open to it but your primal instincts protected you from being fully consumed," Sora said.

"Yeah. But that thing, that beast, it came from inside me. And it's still there. I can feel it," Beast Boy said.

"Good," Raven said, sitting next to him. "If it wasn't for that beast, we might not be here right now. Having that thing inside doesn't make you an animal. Knowing when to let it out is what makes you a man," she said.

"We all have a dark side, Beast Boy. It's all about how to deal with that darkness is what makes you strong," Sora said. Beast Boy smiled in response and stood up.

"Hmm. Maybe you should call me…Beast Man from now on," Beast Boy said.

"We're having a moment here. Don't ruin it," Raven said, making his smile disappear for a little.

"Beast Dude?" Beast Boy proposed. Raven groaned but Sora smiled at that.

"Huh, that could actually work," Sora said, making a smile come back to Beast Boy.

(Later, in Sora's Room)

Sora jumped onto his bed and began to rest after a very long day while Stitch crawled into his bed and fell asleep right there. Sora began to get comfortable when a knock echoed into his room.

"Ugh, I just wanna go to sleep," Sora said walking up to the door, revealing Raven standing there. "Oh h-hey Raven," Sora said.

"Hi, you feeling better?" Raven asked.

"Yeah, just a good night sleep and I'll be good. How about you?" Sora asked. What neither of them knew was Rose was on her way to see Sora but stopped when she saw him talking to Raven.

"I'm fine. The trance I was in definitely helped too," Raven said.

"Good, I'm happy that your alright. I was really worried about you," Sora said.

"I know. I was told that you never left the bed I was on and that you hesitated to leave too," Raven said, making Sora blush in response.

"Well, I mean-I didn't- want you to-" Sora said but was interrupted by Raven hugging him in response.

"Thank you Sora. I'm really thankful to have you as a friend," Raven said, blushing. Sora smiled and returned the hug.

"Of course Rae, I'll always be here for you," Sora said. Rose watched the two hug and with a somber look, walked back to her room.

And that's the end. Beast Boy has overcome his animal, Sora gained a new form which I shall call Primal Form, and Sora and Raven continue to grow closer but how will Rose deal with this? Well, please stay tuned in order to find out. Now onto the reviews:

Keybladelight: Well remember, Trigon is one of the most powerful beings in the DC universe, literally being the ruler of the DC version of hell. Master Xehanort is a master of darkness but isn't the ruler of the Realm of Darkness, that is another being entirely.

Perturbedork: No friend, not cringey in the slightest. Really glad your enjoying my story so far and I hope you continue to enjoy it. May your heart be your guiding key as well.

Darkmaster100000: I have one friend planned to return when they battle Sephiroth and then they'll meet the rest later on.

Althea Sirius: Thanks, glad you enjoyed it friend. Maybe Terra would be good.

Guest 1: Nah, they were just trying to turn him in this one.

Guest 2: I plan to have Wonder Girl appear in Season 5 when they're recruiting other heroes.

Guest 3: Can't say. Don't want to spoil it.

UmbreanKeyblade: Thanks. I didn't want her to be left out of her training.

Guest 4: That's exactly what I have planned for Sora's season: where the Titans enter the KH3.

Icewolf9879: Not exactly, Terra's trapped in a state where Sora can't use the keyblade to simply free her. If you're referring to when Meg was trapped in the Underworld in KH2, Hades set that up specifically for Sora to unlock the Underdrome. Terra is stuck in a state to where Sora's power doesn't exactly apply there.

Iceworl9879: That…would've been a great idea too. I should've included that. But I can include it later if that'll work.

Thanks you guys so much for reading the chapter. I hope you guys are having a great day and that you're staying safe and healthy. I probably won't get another chapter out after the 4th so Happy Independence Day to you guys. Please favor, please follow and please leave review if you guys have any ideas or wish to voice your thoughts. I'll see you guys in the next chapter. Until then, peace out.
