Prologue
A very, very long time ago in a horrible place called Azarath…
Azarath was a deep and dark horrible place. It was covered with brick castles and rocky roads. The roads were made of pure red rocks. No blue. No green. No black…just red rocks.
The houses were made out of gray bricks. The sky was covered red. The clouds were pure yellow and the sun was red.
It was the most horrible place ever created! All because of what is going to happen tonight! A curse was about to happen!
So it begins…
Midnight at the Azarath Temple:
Top floor in the bedroom…
The walls were pure brick gray. The floor was carved in smooth, gray brick.
It was a queen size bed. Its frame was pure solid gold. There were bed sheets: they were pure pink cloth. The pillows were covered in blue, silk cloth.
A woman was lying on the queen-sized bed. She had pure dark black hair to her chest; a purple silk nightgown. Her eyes were blue and her lips were red. She had earrings on in the shape of a raven. They were pure gold. Her name was Arella.
One night ago, she was a normal girl. She was only 15!
But one night ago:
She met a man…
A handsome, long blonde haired man. He was about 16. They fell in love at the temple and were together all night.
The next morning she was with child!
Azarath was a normal place a day ago. It was basically the ‘Garden of Eden!’
But after that night, the clear blue skies turned to red skies.
Sin was in the air.
She was on the bed crying…
She was screaming!!
“A-H-H-H!!” she screamed.
There was a woman. Nurses surrounded her. They wore white dresses and were barefoot.
“Push!!” the nurses told her.
She pushed screaming!
“What have I done? This is horrible! I feel so ashamed of myself! I’ve sinned! Forgive me, oh God! Please forgive me!” she thought to herself as she screamed more.
“I wonder it it’s a boy or a girl?” she still thought to herself screaming.
The baby comes out bleeding.
The mom’s stomach turns red!
She screams holding her baby wrapped in a white cloth blanket.
“NOOOOOOOOOO!!” she screams while crying.
Blood covers the bed.
Blood covers the gray floor.
The ceiling was shaped in a dome with a window. It had colored glass designs like a church. There were two windows in the brick wall. They were colored also, like designs in a church. The dome was gold.
The woman continued to scream!
That night, the greatest evil was awoken!
Arella was together all night with a young, handsome blonde man who was a.k.a. Trigon…the devil!
And she knew it!
She was ashamed.
And now, one day, the daughter of Arella would rise…her name is Raven…
Chapter 1
Present day:
Los Angeles…
There is a yellow house, two stories tall. White outline on it. The driveway was huge! The roof was pure brown. There was a green Toyota jeep with a peace symbol in the back window. The front door of the house was white. It had double locks. The door handle was pure gold. There was a living room with an 8 foot long TV; a kitchen; a dining room with a huge dark table and there were light brown, smooth stairs.
You entered the second story up the stairs. There was a hallway; a bathroom on one side and a bedroom, most likely mom and dad’s room.
There was another door. On the door was a symbol: PEACE! There was a poster of a Harry Potter movie. The door was made out of wood. It was painted black.
Inside the door there were posters all over: Metallica (the band), with their lead singer playing; a magic game poster, one saying, “We will all die!” The wall was tan. The floor was dark.
A bed covered in black, silky blankets, pillows and sheets. It was a regular sized bed.
A girl and a ‘Goth’ guy were standing right next to the bed.
She had long, dark-purple dyed hair and silk, black undergarments on.
Her eyes were outlined in black. Her lips were dark purple. Her face was painted white, pure white. She had earrings in her nose and bottom lip.
He had long, black hair to his neck. Brown eyes with black eyeliner around them, and black lips. He wore a black t-shirt, black baggy pants, brown belt and black shoes. He loved magic, Harry Potter, Metallica, and anything ‘Goth!’ His name was Ryan. He was the hottest guy in school! At least all the girls thought so!
“You are so hot!” she tells Ryan, kissing him on the lips.
“What if the world was ‘gonna end tonight?” Ryan asked her, putting his hand on her back. On her back was a tattoo of a ‘raven’ by her waist.
“You live a little! You die a little!” she replies kissing him back on the lips.
“Let’s do it!” he tells her.
He moved closer to her to kiss her even more on the lips when she got a vision.
The girl’s name was Raina. She was the hottest and most ‘Goth’ girl at school.
She had a vision. A vision of fire burning the Golden Gate Bridge.
“What’s going on? A-H-H-H!! My head!!” she thought to herself.
Her eyes began to turn to yellow. A birthmark symbol of a circle in the middle of her forehead began to light up red. Her skin began to turn dark, shadowy blue.
A black hole surrounded her on the floor. She disappeared.
“Where the??” he asked her.
Behind him, a black hole surrounding a circle on the floor…she rose from the hole.
“Son of a twitch!!! What the devil??” he asked her.
“Whoa!! How did I do that?” she asked him.
“What the heck?” he continued to ask her.
“How did I do that? What the heck is going on?” she asked him freaked out.
“You freak!” he told her.
“Freak! I’m not a freak!” she replied.
“Son of a twitch! You freak!” he still told her.
Her eyes were turning yellow again. She melted to the floor with a black shadow coming in back of him. The shadow came out of the floor and was in the shape of a raven. Its wings swallowed the guy. The shadow disappeared and Raina came back out of the ground.
“Oh my gosh!!! Wake up!!! Wake up!!” she leans on the ground trying to wake him up.
He had blood on his forehead. Blood covered his whole body!
“Feel the power! He’s dead! The power! Feel the power!” a voice in her head said.
“What have I done? I murdered a guy!” she thought to herself.
“Raina! It’s time to come down for dinner now!” her mom yells.
“All right, be right down mom!” she replies.
“I ‘gotta get out of here! What’s happening to me?” she questions herself.
She grabbed a green backpack and put a purple hood around her blue face. She climbed out of the bedroom window to a tree, and landed on the wet grass.
Chapter 2
Los Angeles:
Midnight, downtown…
“Why am I doing this? Running away from home? Who am I? What am I doing here taking a bus out of town to San Francisco?” she asked herself.
She entered the bus. It was a tour bus. It went from Los Angeles to San Francisco every night. The two double doors of the bus opened up. She stepped in. The floor was very hard. It was pure black. The seats were made out of red leather. On the back of every two seats was a TV. Every seat had a window by it on the side. In the back of the bus there was a tan door. It was a bathroom. In the front, there was of course, the bus driver, an older man.
He had short gray hair and wrinkles. He wore a blue flannel shirt with black buttons on it, blue jeans and fancy, black shiny shoes. The type where there are no laces.
As she boarded the bus, her black shoes touched the hard, solid floor. She walked past the seats on each side of her.
Men, women and even children were sitting in them.
A child was looking at her. He had long, blonde hair to his neck; a torn t-shirt that was tan, it was torn down the middle; black jeans and sandals. He had blue eyes.
“Whoa! What is she? Is she ‘gonna kill me?” he thought to himself. His name was Tommy. Tommy Becker.
Tommy was about 8. All the family he had was his mom. His dad had passed away 6 months ago. He used to go to school when his father was alive. But now, they don’t have any money for school. They live on the streets now. Stealing food from stores.
He looked up to her with his head. He was scared of her. In his cut, bruised hands, he held a brown, plain old Teddy Bear. Its name was Bob. Holding his other hand was his big sister, Melvin. She had blonde hair put in a ponytail. She wore an ugly dark green shirt with pink shorts, torn on the leg and a pair of brown sandals. She had blue eyes. She also looked up at the strange girl.
Melvin was crying in tears. Her mom was killed by bad men. Melvin grabbed some money from her mom’s purse and ran to the bus with her two little brothers. She was the oldest, about 11 or 12.
On her lap was her little, little brother…Timmy. He had short blonde hair and held a blue, silk blanket…the last thing his mom touched before she was killed. He held it to his cheek and nose. He had brown eyes; a light blue, little torn t-shirt on, (it was torn right down the middle); yellow shorts torn on the leg and brown sandals. He looked up at his sister and began to smile.
“What am I ‘gonna do now? Mom’s dead! Now what?” Melvin thought to herself scared to death!
Timmy still smiled holding his light-blue silk blanket, sucking his thumb.
The strange hooded girl sat in the very, very back seat. It was on the left side of the very back of the bus. She looked out her window and saw it was raining…pouring! “Help me!!!” she thought to herself crying.
Chapter 3
San Francisco:
In a plain white room with nothing but pure bright white…
A girl with a black-cloaked hood and black cape covered her body. Her eyes were yellow, and then turned red.
She cried out, “Help me!!! Help me!!!”
She was a scared girl.
Her cloaked hood covered her eyes, but left her nose, lips and chin exposed. She has dark blue skin. Her eyes turned from yellow to red. Instead of two red eyes, she had four. Her skin turned to red and the pure bright white room into fire! Flames covered the room! She smiled in a devilish way! It blacked out.
A mysterious man woke up in his bedroom terrified! He had black hair to his ears, blue eyes, a black muscular t-shirt and blue jeans. He got out of bed. His name was Dick Grayson….a.k.a. Nightwing!
The bedroom was huge! The wall was white. The ceiling was dark blue and the floor was pure concrete. There were gray, automatic double doors. They opened. A strange woman came in. She had yellow skin, green eyes, red lips, and long blonde hair to her chest. She had a purple body suit on. It was in the shape of a ‘V.’ It outlined her chest, leaving her belly button exposed. She had a necklace that had a communicator on it and held up a purple cape. She had purple hand shields and purple boots. Her name was Kory.
She was a princess from the planet Tamaran. She came here along time ago, when the first team of Titans began.
“I had a dream again!” Nightwing told Kory.
“Me too!” Kory replied.
“A girl. She’s calling out to me!” Nightwing said.
“We have to help her!” Kory replied smiling.
“Star, I’m sending you to find her. Bring her here! I sense great evil danger!” Nightwing explained.
“I’m on it Dick!” she replied.
Kory exited the room.
Chapter 4
Next evening:
Downtown San Francisco…
Raina was just getting off her bus. It was about 6-7 pm and she was tired. She wanted to sleep.
She saw a beautiful, bright red pick-up. It was a Dodge truck to be exact. It had nice shiny tires!
“I wonder if I should hitch-hike? No one will see me!” she thought to herself.
She headed towards the red pick-up truck. There was an ugly green tarp covering the back camper of the pick-up. She opened up the back of the pick-up. There was a chain wrapped around the tarp so it wouldn’t fly all over the place. She jumped onto the camper of the truck. She lifted up the tarp to take a slight peek to see what was under it. There was a wrench and tires. She ducked down and climbed in. She shut the back trunk and put the tarp covering her and everything in the back camper. The truck started to move.
“Where is this going? Who’s driving it? Is it going out of the city? What am I doing here?” she thought to herself.
The truck stopped.
“Where am I? Are we getting gas? Or a hotel? Or a house?” she still thought to herself.
It was raining. She could feel the rain hit the tarp and her. She heard weird, strange noises!
“ROAR!! YAHHH!!” she heard.
She peaked. There was a strange hooded man fighting a muscular freak. He had a gray hood on; a black t-shirt with a black trench coat; black winter pants and brown boots that came up to his knees. He was punching the freak.
The muscular freak had long, blonde/yellow hair to his chest. He had vampire teeth that were crooked and had green eyes. He also had a black trench coat on over a black t-shirt and had brown boots. But he had claws on his hands like Wolverine, except shorter.
It was raining so hard that it was a tad bit blurry. By now the time was maybe 8 or 9 or 10…
The first hooded man that punched the freak looked a lot like ‘Kane the Wrestler.’ He turned his face. The way he turned his face, you could only see his right side. His eye was red. It had laser vision, target vision, target view, zoom-in and much more. The whole side of his face was made out of METAL. He had a METAL chin guard covering his chin. He lifted his hand, which was a mini-cannon. It was a futuristic design of course! It fired a sonic bullet that hit the freak. He fell down on the hard snowy ground. She saw that the other half of the hooded man’s face had a blue eye and he had short black hair only on that side. In the middle of his forehead was a red button that locked his METAL half together with his human half. The truck belonged to him. His name was Cyborg.
“This must be somewhere in the mountains,” she thought.
As she looked closer, she noticed that the rain was snow. There were mountains in the background and she was parked on the side of a cliff.
She looked down and saw there was a railing and after the railing you could see the Golden Gate Bridge and the whole city.
The hooded man continued to shoot at the freak. She was getting more curious. She gently slid out of the tarp, opened the camper and jumped down. The freak saw her from the corner of his eye. His name was Mammoth. Little was known about him. All that was known was he worked for the worst enemy known as the ‘Terminator.’ He ran towards her.
“NOOOOO!!” the hooded man replied.
Nightwing and Starfire show up.
“Go back beast!” Starfire told Mammoth.
“Come on, Miss Princess!” Mammoth said.
“Pick on someone else twitch!” Nightwing told him. Nightwing was wearing his costume.
“YAHHH!” Starfire threw star bolts at Mammoth.
Mammoth continued running towards Raven on all fours and attacked her right in the stomach with his claws. She blacked out.
Chapter 5
Somewhere in San Francisco:
“Where am I? Who are you?” she asked a strange yellow skinned girl. She had long orange hair to her chest, green eyes, a bodysuit that was shaped in a ‘V.’ It covered her underwear. It left half of the side of her upper body and belly button exposed. She had bright yellow skin. It was Kory.
“Take it easy! My name is…” Kory told her calmly.
“Where the freakin’ heck am I?” she thought to herself.
“You have yellow skin! Freak!!” she said. Her heart was racing! She felt her heart leap out of her! She was scared and speechless.
“We don’t like to use the terms ‘skin color’ or ‘freak’ around here!” Kory told Raina.
Nightwing came in the room.
“Who are you?” Raven asked him.
“I’m Nightwing, and this is the Titans Tower!” he replied.
Raina was lying on an operation table with a black bikini on. Her hood and cloaked trench coat were hanging up on a nail on the wall. The wall was gray. The operation table was made out of steel. The ceiling was white. The floor was made out of tiles. The room was maybe, as big as a hospital operating room. There was a small table that moved on wheels. On it were needles and other equipment that doctor’s use.
On her belly button were scratch marks in blood where Mammoth attacked her with his claws.
“Get away from me freak!” she got up off the operation table very fast! Her heart beat faster and faster! She saw a gray door with a keyboard of numbers; probably a security lock to make sure nobody gets ‘out!’ Most likely, the room is a medical room. She ran to the door. It was an automatic door. She ran to it and it opened. She went outside the door.
“She escaped Dick!” Kory tells him on a headphone in her yellow ear.
“She’s running! But not only because of us, but because of something else!” Dick replied.
“I’m on it!” Kory said smiling.
Raina continues to run. She runs down a hallway. There were doors on each side of the hallway. Inside the doors were rooms. A door opened and a hand grabbed her into the room! Her heart raced! It raced faster and faster! She looked at who grabbed her.
“You’re a green freak!!” she told him.
He had green skin, light green spiked hair, a purple spandex shirt with a black ‘T’ in the middle of it, black spandex pants and black tennis shoes with green strings.
“So they’re after you too?” he asked her.
His name was Garfield. He was an actor about two or three years ago. He was about 15 or 16 now.
“You too…??” Raina asked him.
“I’m Garfield! Friends call me Gar,” he shook her left hand.
“I’m Raina,” she shook his hand back.
“You’re running from them too, Miss?” Gar told her. His room had green walls. There were posters of his favorite band, Metallica. He has an I-Pod earpiece in his left ear. He is holding the I-Pod itself in his right hand. The I-Pod was white. He had a vampire mouth and two teeth stuck out when he smiled.
“Found them!” Kory said. She appeared standing in the entryway to Gar’s room.
“Busted!” Gar replied smiling.
Little was known about Gar, except that he became a “freak” because of an experiment done by his father.
In the X-Ray room at Titan’s Tower:
Cyborg found himself in an operation room with an X-ray being taken of him. Starfire was standing over him.
“Where am I?” he asked.
“I’m Kory. You’re in the Titan’s Tower. I’ve been X-raying your pure METAL body!! Welcome to the Titan’s!!
Chapter 6
A few minutes later:
The living room…
The floor was made of red and white tiles. There were big windows so that when you look out them, you could see the whole city. The view was beautiful! Right now, you could see the white, puffy but skinny clouds and the pure light blue sky. It was about 11 in the morning.
The METAL man that she saw earlier fighting the freak Mammoth, along with the yellow skinned girl, were standing there also. They had ‘not so happy’ looks on them.
“Raina Johnson, or should I say Ray…” Nightwing told her.
“What is your real name?” Kory asked her.
“Raven,” she replied.
“Gar, you are so busted!” Kory told him.
“What is this place?” Raven asked Nightwing.
“This is a place where the ‘gifted’ and ‘sidekicks’ become educated on the ‘Big Leagues!’ We’re a school!” Nightwing replied.
“Great! Just great!” Raven replies.
The school bell rings a few minutes later. There were classes all over the top floor.
Raven entered an oak door. She went in.
“Now class, we only have about 1 minute left, but next week I want to see an essay on ‘The History of the Presidents!’ But before we leave, I would like to introduce our new student, Raven!” Kory tells the class.
The floor was oak brown. There were two windows on the right side. The bell rings again. The ceiling was dark brown with 3 vents. There were school desks.
Raven walked in closer.
“Class dismissed!” Kory replied smiling.
“Kory, school’s out?” Raven asked her.
She was confused. Teens and kids from the ages of 13 – 16 shuffle thru the crowded room.
Kory had a piece of white chalk. Behind her was a green, smooth blackboard.
“Yep! I’m afraid it is. And all weekend too! It’s Friday after all! Enjoy your stay at the Titan Tower!” Kory told her, putting the piece of white chalk down.
“Hey, Raven, right?” Gar asked her.
“Yeah,” she replied.
“We’re having a party tonight on the bottom floor and I was wondering if you would be free tonight?” Gar asked her hoping she would be free.
“Sure. I’ll be free tonight,” Raven replied.
“Okay! Sweet! See you there!” Gar said.
“See you there!” Raven replied.
Party time:
Bottom floor…
“Let’s party!” Gar replied drinking punch.
He was holding a plastic cup that had punch in it. There was a ‘drink table’ that he was standing next to.
The floor was a bright red rug. The walls were green. The ceiling was red with pizzas being thrown on it. There were about 20 – 30 kids there.
“Hey, you made it!” Gar told her.
“Hey, I was doing some thinking, there’s a storage room and…” Gar’s friend Bart says. He had blonde hair and a yellow jacket with a ‘T’ in the middle of it.
“So? And who are you?” she asked him.
“I’m Bart and the storage room has the Batwing!” Bart told her.
“Okay. And?” she asked him.
“We’re ‘gonna take it for a joy ride!” Gar replied.
“Oh great!” Raven thought to herself scared.
< song: Trouble Now>
A few minutes later, the storage room…hanger #1:
Inside the Batwing…
“Strap in!” Bart tells everybody.
In the front part of the car: the roof was black, the floor was black, and the sides were black. There was a black futuristic steering wheel, gas gage, heater with vents, radio and a lot of buttons. There were also big windows in the shape of a triangle.
“How do we turn this on?” Bart asked Gar and Raven.
“Never mind!” Bart replied.
He touched a green button and it lit up! All the other buttons lit up green too.
“Buckle up and hang on!” Gar tells Raven
“Whoa!” Bart said.
The engine was turning on and it was vibrating! The Batwing was hovering over the concrete ground in the storage room.
The garage storage door opened and the Batwing took off flying out of the garage door into the outside.
“Whoa!” everyone screams!
The Batwing aims straight up over Titan Tower to the clouds. The Titan Tower was white with tall blue windows. It was in the shape of a ‘T.’ The Batwing was hovering over the clouds. Raven’s heart raced! It leaped out of her!
There were jets hiding in the clouds. The jets were an ugly green. Inside them, there were tracking screens. One picked up a strange object moving in big speed!
“Son of a twitch! What the freakin’ devil is that?” the pilot asked the General on his headphone.
The pilot was wearing a helmet and goggles, basically a pilot’s suit. There were so many buttons inside the jet!
“Fire that son of a twitch crud! Shoot it down!” the General replied.
“Yes sir!” the pilot agreed and came out of the clouds.
There were five more jets that were hiding in the clouds.
“Locking on target! Target locked! In three, two, one, fire!” Another male pilot said as he fired his missile.
The other jets were firing their missiles also. Then they all came out of the clouds really fast…sneaking up on the strange object.
“Um…I don’t know if this is good or not…but crud!! There are five things moving fast on us!” Bart said, looking at the tracker.
“Crud!” Gar replied.
“Hey Ray, do you have any powers that can destroy the missiles?” Gar asked her.
“Whoa!!! Oh crud!!!” Gar said.
Bart steered the Batwing sideways to duck the missiles.
“Son of a twitch!! I missed them!!!” the pilot told the General.
“I’m moving in!” the other pilot said.
He was moving in closer. “Lock on again…three, two, one…fire!” the pilot said.
Five missiles fired at them.
“Concentrate Ray! I believe in you!” Gar told her.
He was holding her hand. Her heart leaped out again! Her heart raced faster and faster! She smiled at him for a brief moment. She concentrated her mind on the missiles. For a brief moment, she possessed one missile and became it. Her eye’s turned yellow…clear, pure yellow. You couldn’t see her eyelids. Nothing, just pure yellow.
“Whoa! That is wicked awesome!” Gar replied amazed.
The missile turned back and other missiles followed it. They blew up!
Raven’s mind saw an image:
“Control!” her mom Arella told her.
Arella had long black hair to her chest, a white low-cut dress and a hooded white cape covering her from head to feet. She had a birthmark on her forehead that was in the symbol of a circle, marked in red. She was standing in a pool of blood and a circle of fire surrounded her.
“Help me!” she cried.
“Yes, help her!” a deep devilish voice told Raven in her head. There were four eyes telling her that.
Then she woke up!
“Way to go Ray!” Gar told her smiling. He was still holding her hand.
“Yeah, whatever you did…that was awesome!! Nice work Raven!!” Bart told her.
“OH CRUD!!! CRUD!!!” Gar said.
There was one missile left and it hit the left wing.
“We’re going down!” Bart replied.
“Buckle up!” Gar said.
Flames were coming from the left wing. The Batwing was falling in midair.
“MAYDAY!! We’re ‘gonna crash!” Bart said.
Gar and Raven’s hearts were racing harder and harder. The BATWING crashes on the grass in front of the Titan Tower…the left wing on fire breaks off.
“Hard landing!” Gar said.
Nightwing, Cyborg and Kory were standing outside looking at them all in the Batwing.
“Busted!” Gar said.
There was an open hatch door on the ceiling of the Batwing. Bart opened it.
“I can explain!” Bart replied.
Later:
Living room at Teen Tower…
“You broke my Batwing! What the devil were you thinking?” Nightwing asked them.
“Sorry,” Gar said. He was smirking.
“You are so busted it’s not even funny!” Victor told them.
“You’re ‘gonna clean it up…shine it up…until every scratch mark is gone!” Nightwing tells them.
“Yes sir!” Gar says.
“Sorry, very sorry,” Raven told them.
“Sorry’s not ‘gonna cut it!” Nightwing told Raven.
Chapter 7
In a secret lab:
A room that has test tubes in it…
The room was made out of steel.
The floor was made out of steel.
The ceiling was made out of steel.
There were doctors. They had green masks on and also had Firemen’s masks.
There were nametags.
In there hands, they were holding a staff. On the end of it there is a rock that turns into electricity.
There were about 20 doctors.
There were soldiers.
There were about 30 soldiers. They had long gray pistols, ugly green shirts, nametags, green camouflage pants and black boots to their knees on. The nametags were on the ugly green t-shirts.
This place was like an Arena 51. But no aliens. There were only test tubes.
This place was located somewhere in another country. But no one knew exactly where though. It was a scary place. The army did experiments…on animals…or people…or even UFO’s.
A military base? It could possibly be Area 51.
Who knows!
It could be worse than Azarath even!
“Knock!!! Knock!!! Knock!!!” everything started to blackout.
“Knock!!! Knock!!! Knock!!!” there was a knock.
Victor was dreaming.
“Knock!!! Knock!!! Knock!!!” there was a knock again.
Victor woke up in his bed. He had no shirt on. Only metal pants.
In his bedroom, he headed towards the door. The door was gray. It was made out of dark wood. The walls were white. The floor was black. The bed had one bed sheet. It was light blue. The bed frame was pure silver.
He opened the gray door. It was a double locked door. He opened the golden door handle.
“Hello? Ray?” Victor asked her.
“I couldn’t sleep. You?” she asked him.
She had a dark green hood on, blue skin, yellow eyes and a dark green cape that covered her shoulders down, even her legs.
“No, I couldn’t sleep either. Now what’s wrong?” Victor asked her.
“You. You have a darkness in you. I can sense it,” she replied.
“Just a nightmare,” Victor replied.
“Don’t be afraid…” Raven told him. She was putting her hands on his forehead.
“Think hard! Think hard! Let the nightmare come to life!” Raven told him. Her eyes were turning pure white.
Vic and Raven saw a vision…
There was a room that had test tubes in it. Victor was in one of those test tubes. There was a General there in front of the test tube that Victor was in. He had short gray hair, a gray mustache, blue eyes and an ugly green shirt on with a nametag that said, “General Stone.” He wore it proudly! He also had black dress pants on and a pair of brown boots to his knees.
Victor had marks on his left hand: numbers “1191.”
He was crying.
He blacked out.
“A-H-H!!” Raven replied. Her head was on fire.
“Are you okay?” Victor asked her.
“Yeah. I’m fine. I can feel your anger,” Raven told him.
“You better go get some rest,” Victor told Raven.
“Yeah. See ‘ya,” Raven replied.
“It I almost time…your rebirth begins soon!” a deep dark voice tell her in her head. Four red eyes appear. She saw this in her vision.
“No! No! No! No!!!” Raven says running down the hallway.
“Why didn’t you tell her the truth about what a horrible man I am? What can I do?” Victor thought to himself in his bedroom.
He remembers a ‘Secret Lab’…
The walls, floor and ceiling were made out of steel.
There were test tubes.
Victor and others were in them.
General Stone was talking to some soldiers…
“Just in case ‘Project Cyborg’ goes haywire, there is a way out…an off switch! Located in the heart of the METAL is a bomb! The bomb will go off if a Cyborg’s power is low. Even if they break out, within 5 months they will be a giant bomb…waiting to explode! BOOM!!! But the only way they can recharge is to come back here and plug themselves into the main frame!” The General tells the soldiers, Victor remembered as he was getting back into bed looking at his hand.
His hand had a power meter on it. It was saying 87%. When it goes to 100%, he and anything within a 500-foot radius will go BOOOOOM!! The power meter was blinking blue into red.
Victor was in bed. He pulled his covers over him. His one METAL-red eye went to blue and he fell asleep.
His power meter said 88% this time. Each time he fell asleep or fought, it used 1-2%. He would die soon and he knew it.
Next morning:
“Knock…Knock…Knock…”
There was a knock at the door.
Victor was getting out of bed. He walked to the door and opened the golden door handle.
“Who could it be at this hour?” Victor thought to himself.
He opened the door handle made out of gold.
“Raven’s gone!!” Gar replied.
“NOOOO!!! NOOOO!!!” Victor said.
Gar had a black T-shirt and black pants on, green skin and dark green hair.
“Come on! Find her!” Gar replied.
“She’s nowhere in sight,” Nightwing appeared.
“The train leaves tonight for Los Angeles. She’s going home,” Victor thought to himself.
“I know where she is,” Victor says.
Unknown bad-guy headquarters:
“She’s vulnerable, now is the time to strike,” Slade says.
He was the leader of the ‘Hive-Five.’ The most dangerous criminal in the world! His name was Slade Wilson. He served in a war. Now he went by ‘Deathstroke the Terminator.’ He had a METAL helmet; one side of it was red and the other black. It covered his face. It was like a Halloween mask, with one eye blue and the other was pitch black. There was a dark blue army shirt; a black utility belt that had lots of gadgets; a pair of dark blue pants; black boots to his knees and a gray sharp-edged sword in his left hand.
Chapter 8
Downtown:
Subway ticket booth…
Raven is getting a ticket for the subway train.
“Where too?” a woman asked Raven. She had blue eyes and red lipstick covered her lips. She was about 40 – 50; had dark brown hair; slightly overweight; had a blue uniform on with a nametag that said:
“Los Angeles,” Raven replied.
“Los Angeles…that will be…” the woman told her how much the ticket would cost.
“Here,” Raven replied and handed her a $20 bill.
The red subway train pulled in. It was dark and cold. Raven ran to the train and boarded it. She walked to the inside of the train and shuffled her way to the back seat. Victor was standing there.
“So, you’re running away? Think that’s going to solve your problems?” Victor asked her. He had a black hood on covering his face so you could only see his lips; a black jacket and black baggy pants.
“What are you doing here?” Raven asked his back.
“Is this the answer to all your problems? You just run away? You forget, I’m scared too!” Cyborg (Vic) tells her.
“What was her name?” Raven asked. She knew Cyborg had a girlfriend and he lost her.
“Her name was Trudy. She was the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen!” Cyborg replied.
“We should probably sit down,” Raven told him.
The floor was red. The train started to move.
“I’m sorry,” Raven sat down and hugged Cyborg.
“I’m sorry too…” Cyborg replied hugging her back.
Raven started to cry.
The train started to move faster!
“Something’s wrong!” Cyborg thought to himself.
Raven’s heart beat faster and faster!
The door where you enter was ripped open! The man known as ‘Deathstroke’ entered with his sharp pointed sword!
“I’m here to take the girl!” he said.
“Get away from her, you dirty little twitch!” Cyborg told him holding her tight.
“You must be Cyborg! Pity, I could snap you in two right now!” he told Cyborg.
“What do you want?” Cyborg asked him.
“I want the girl! And you can’t stop me!” Deathstroke replied.
“Well, you can’t have her! So how are we ‘gonna play this?” Cyborg asked him.
Deathstroke walked up to an older man on the train that was sitting on the opposite side. The older man was reading a newspaper. He had short silver-gray hair. He looked like a businessman and a ‘grandpa’ type. He had wrinkles on his cheeks and was maybe 65 or 70. He had a dark blue dress shirt on and dark brown jacket. On his wrist was an old grandfather’s watch. It was pure gold! And it was probably worth something! His blue dress shirt was tucked into his black dress pants and a black belt held up his pants.
“I’m going to die! NOOO!! NOOO!!! Please don’t kill me!!” the older man thought to himself. His name was Charley.
“If you get mad because you don’t get what you want, and a person is standing right next to you, just simply walk up to the person and stab them in the heart!” Deathstroke explained.
He grabbed his ‘sharp pointed sword’ with his black gloves and leaned his hand back and aimed straight at the older man’s heart! He stabbed him!
“A-H-H-H!!” the older man cried!
The crowd on the train was gasping for air! Their eyes couldn’t believe what just happened! Their hearts were racing harder and harder! They were wondering, “Are we going to be next?” Everyone was panicking!
“NOOOOO!!! NOOOOO!!! I’ll go!!” Raven replied shouting! She was crying!
“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! RAVEN, NOOOOOOOOO!!!” Cyborg replied.
The older man, Charley, was bleeding all over the sword. Deathstroke pulled his sword out of the man. Charley fell forward with blood dripping all over the hard floor! His eyes shut as he died.
“VICTOR!!!” Raven cried out!
A woman appears! She had a white hood like Raven, with golden horns coming out of it. She was covered with a white cloak from her neck to her feet. She had purple skin that was still showing. Her eyes were covered by the cloaked hood, but her nose, mouth and chin were exposed! Her name was Jinx!
“Until next time Cyborg, goodbye!” Deathstroke told Cyborg.
“Jinx?” Deathstroke asked Jinx.
Deathstroke jumped out of the door with Jinx, making a pink force field around himself, Jinx and Raven.
“NOOOOOOOO!!!” Cyborg replied yelling.
There was a gap of track about 1 mile long. It was about
30 – 50 feet down and a wall was blocking the railway. Either way they were stuck!!
“NOOO!!” Cyborg said! He shut his eyes. His heart raced harder and harder.
“We’re all going to die!” Cyborg thought to himself.
The train stopped!
Cyborg opened his eyes wondering what happened! He looked down in the window and saw Kory there.
“What is she doing here?” he thought to himself.
A few minutes later:
As the train was safely stopped, Kory came into the train.
“Raven’s gone,” Cyborg told her.
“NOOOOO!! GO! GO FIND HER!!” Kory replied.
“What about all these people on the train?” Cyborg asked her.
“I’ll take care of them! GO!!” Kory replied.
“By the way, where are the others?” Cyborg asked her.
“They’re on a mission stopping Slade, or Deathstroke! Apparently, a mutated freak got out of his cage and it’s all a part of Slade’s plan,” Kory explained.
“Deathstroke, he will pay for this!” Cyborg said.
“You have a hard, rock solid heart! I can feel your pain! GO!! GO!!” Kory told him.
Cyborg went to the door and went out of it.
“Now, is everyone here on this train ‘gonna be okay?” Kory asked them.
“A-huh,” they replied.
“Sleep! Sleep! You will not remember what has taken place here today! You will wake up thinking you’re on your way to work! Is that understood?” Kory asked them.
“A-huh!” they replied.
They opened their eyes and she was gone…vanished, out of sight into thin air.
Chapter 9
Downtown San Francisco:
Golden USA Bank…
It was about 6 – 7 pm in the evening. There were 20 – 30 people. Particularly, a janitor that was disguised. It was really Starfire. Kory (Starfire), had a long-sleeved white shirt with a black jacket on. The nametag on it says: ‘Donna Troya.’ She had tight black pants and black boots up to her knees. Her hair was blonde and down to her chest and she had black sunglasses on.
Nightwing was disguised as a bank security guard. He had black hair to his ears and black sunglasses on. He had a long-sleeved black t-shirt and black jacket with a nametag. It said ‘Jason Todd.’ He wore black dress pant and a pair of black tennis shoes. The shoelaces were black.
And wondering to the side of them was Gar (Beastboy) disguised also as a janitor. He had a white cap, white long-sleeved shirt with a white jacket and a nametag that read: ‘Gar Logan.’ He wore white baggy pants and a pair of white boot to his knees. He had a brown mop.
The disguised people had headphones in their ears.
“See anything Star?” Nightwing asked her.
“No, not yet,” Kory replied.
“Guys, there’s over 20 – 30 people here! Wait, I sniff something,” Gar told them on the headphones.
“What?” Nightwing asked him.
“They’re here!” Gar replied.
“Dick, look up!” Kory told Nightwing.
The floor was made out of tile. It was light tan. There were two floors. The second one was a balcony.
A strange short man jumped off the balcony to Nightwing. His name was Gizmo. He had blue eyes and dark brown short hair to his ears. His hair was spiked. He had a pure gold earring in his left ear; a dark green suit that was bullet proof, water proof and fire proof; and a pair of dark gray tennis shoes that lit up a light green on the sides. When they turned on with a remote control that he had, they could fly like a jet. You see, you could give Gizmo a shoelace and he could turn it into a saw. He could turn anything…you name it…a cup, a piece of paper…I mean anything! He had a jet pack on his back with tentacles like Doctor Octopus from Spiderman.
Gizmo attacked Nightwing! Dick (Nightwing) reached into his packet and grabbed a batarang and threw it at Gizmo! It hit Gizmo’s tentacles and knocked him down.
“Look out Star!” Dick told her.
Mammoth came at Kory. He ran to her and was about one inch away. He had long blonde hair to his chest. His teeth were crooked and he had a black metal ‘X’ around his chest. He had blue eyes, black pants and black gloves with pointy spikes. He looked like Kane and Juggernaut! He put his right hand with his spiked gloves, on her neck…her soft alien skin! He began choking her!
“Say goodbye, Miss America!” Mammoth told her.
“A-H-H-HUUUHHH!” she said reaching for air.
He squeezed her harder and harder! Her eyes were in tears! Her soft skin was covered in sweat! Her lips were dry as the desert! Her eyes turned green with green energy beginning to form in her hands! She threw the green energy at Mammoth and electrocuted him!
“Dude, are you okay?” Gizmo asked him.
“Retreat!!!” Mammoth said with Gizmo running away with him.
“They got away!” Nightwing said.
“But where?” Kory asked Nightwing.
“Look! On top of the Golden Gate Bridge!” Kory said.
“NO!! RAVEN!!” Nightwing replied.
“So, how are we going to get there?” Gar asked.
Nightwing smiled.
A few minutes later:
Gar, Kory and Nightwing are in the Titan Jet…
“So, how are we going to stop them?” Kory asked Nightwing.
On the top of the Golden Gate Bridge, Raven was strapped down to a metal bed.
“What are you going to do to me?” Raven asked Deathstroke.
“Make this city bow to its knees!” Deathstroke said.
“Not if I can help it!” Nightwing said, suddenly appearing with Gar and Kory.
The Titan Jet was parked on top of the bridge.
“Mammoth, Jinx, Gizmo…” Deathstroke called.
“Rematch? Missy?” Mammoth told Kory.
“Too slow Nighty!” Gizmo told Nightwing.
“Wait, I’m leaving here with Raven alive!” Cyborg said as he appeared suddenly.
“Where were you?” Nightwing asked Cyborg.
“So you thought you could have a party without me?” Cyborg asked Nightwing.
“Titans Go!!!” Nightwing replied.
“All that power you have…it’s ashamed you’ll never use it!! But I will!!” Deathstroke told Raven.
“You don’t understand all that power! You really don’t want it!” Raven tried to tell him.
“Not if I have anything to do with it! Get away from my girl!” Gar told Deathstroke.
“You don’t learn, do you??” Deathstroke told Gar (Beastboy).
Back with Mammoth and Kory:
“It’s time you learned your lesson!” Kory told Mammoth.
“Goodbye Miss America!” Mammoth said laughing.
“KORUINA!” she flies into the air and shoots star bolts at Mammoth! He falls straight down and passes out!
At the same time:
Nightwing was battling Gizmo…
“You can’t catch me! You can’t catch me!” Gizmo tells Nightwing, teasing him.
“You little mutt! YAHHHH!” Nightwing throws batarangs at his chest where his tentacles are connected. His tentacles fall off!
Back with Raven and Deathstroke:
Gar (Beastboy) shape shifts into a ‘T-Rex Dinosaur’…
“You never learn, do you?” Deathstroke asked Beastboy. He threw a boom-a-rang at Beastboy and a net came out of it that is made of electricity that electrocuted Beastboy.
(Because of that, Gar would have to shape shift into a different animal each second…or bye bye! It was basically a huge electric cage!)
“Hello Power!” Deathstroke said starting up the machine that began to transfer Raven’s power to himself.
“A-H-H-H-H!!” Raven screamed! It was electrocuting her!
“NO!!” Nightwing said.
“NO!!” Beastboy said.
“The power! Yes, the POWER!!
I AM ‘TRIGON THE TERRIBLE!!’
Bow before me!” Deathstroke said.
“How do we stop him?” Nightwing asked Kory.
Deathstroke flew…
The sky turned red!
The ocean and the water under the Golden Gate Bridge turn to fire!
The Golden Gate Bridge began to move towards the city…Deathstroke was making it his entryway to his Kingdom!
The people of San Francisco began to turn into zombies with blood dripping from their lips!
“We can’t stop him, can we?” Kory asked Nightwing.
“You can’t, but I can!” Raven said.
“What?” Nightwing asked her.
“I still have little power left, but it will be enough,” Raven explained.
“RAVEN!! NO!!” Gar said.
“I love you Gar,” Raven told Gar.
Raven got up from the bed that she was chained on and broke the chains with what little power she had left.
Back with Cyborg and Jinx:
“You won’t win!” Jinx said shape shifting into Cyborg.
”You’re not me!” Cyborg told her with his hand turning into a sonic cannon and firing at Jinx until she fell down.
Back with Raven and Deathstroke:
“What are you doing, my daughter?” Deathstroke asked Raven.
“Surrendering,” Raven replied shaking his hand.
“What?” Cyborg questioned her.
“Good!” Deathstroke replied.
“A-H-H-H-H!!” Deathstroke choked!
“Where is Deathstroke?” Raven asked him squeezing harder with her hand as it lit up.
“Deathstroke is dead! Trigon reigns!!” he replied.
“Azarath says hello!” she squeezed his powers out of him and she lit up in a white raven the size of a cloud. Deathstroke disintegrated into ashes! Raven fell on to the top of the Golden Gate Bridge.
“Raven?” Gar rushed out of the ‘electric cage.’
“Let’s not do that again,” Raven replied.
“So, if we won, why does it feel like we lost?” Kory asked Raven.
“Because the war is not over!” Nightwing replied.
The sky turned back to blue…
The ocean and the water under the Golden Gate Bridge turned blue once again…
and
The zombies turned back into normal humans!
Chapter 10
Later that night:
Titan Tower…
Raven knocks on Gar’s door.
“Can I come in?” Raven asked him.
Much later that night:
Raven gets out of bed in Gar’s room with Gar still asleep…
She heard something and opened the door to see what it was. She went to the front room where the door is on the top floor to the roof. Cyborg was there checking his power battery…it was at 98%!
“Couldn’t sleep either?” Raven asked him.
“I’m leaving,” Cyborg replied.
“Leaving?” Raven asked him.
“Yeah. Leaving. I have to take care of some business. I’ll be back though, real soon!” Cyborg told her.
“But I…” Raven said.
“I love you too!” Cyborg said.
Raven hugged Cyborg while crying. Cyborg cried and his tear turned into metal and disappeared into his METAL face because he couldn’t really cry!
Cyborg opened the door to the roof. It was snowing. He went out.
“I have business to tend to also,” she touched her cloak, and on her cloak was a button…
a portal to Azarath!
She touched the button and began to light up yellow…a yellow portal was in the floor. She smiled.
“I’m sorry Gar,” she said and jumped into it. She disappeared with the portal!
In Azarath:
A strange young woman was standing there…
The sky was red…
There were no houses…
Just straight fire on the ground!
“Mom?” Raven asked her.
“We have a lot to talk about!” Raven replied.
The End!

Prologue
A very, very long time ago in a horrible place called Azarath…
Azarath was a deep and dark horrible place. It was covered with brick castles and rocky roads. The roads were made of pure red rocks. No blue. No green. No black…just red rocks.
The houses were made out of gray bricks. The sky was covered red. The clouds were pure yellow and the sun was red.
It was the most horrible place ever created! All because of what is going to happen tonight! A curse was about to happen!
So it begins…
Midnight at the Azarath Temple:
Top floor in the bedroom…
The walls were pure brick gray. The floor was carved in smooth, gray brick.
It was a queen size bed. Its frame was pure solid gold. There were bed sheets: they were pure pink cloth. The pillows were covered in blue, silk cloth.
A woman was lying on the queen-sized bed. She had pure dark black hair to her chest; a purple silk nightgown. Her eyes were blue and her lips were red. She had earrings on in the shape of a raven. They were pure gold. Her name was Arella.
One night ago, she was a normal girl. She was only 15!
But one night ago:
She met a man…
A handsome, long blonde haired man. He was about 16. They fell in love at the temple and were together all night.
The next morning she was with child!
Azarath was a normal place a day ago. It was basically the ‘Garden of Eden!’
But after that night, the clear blue skies turned to red skies.
Sin was in the air.
She was on the bed crying…
She was screaming!!
“A-H-H-H!!” she screamed.
There was a woman. Nurses surrounded her. They wore white dresses and were barefoot.
“Push!!” the nurses told her.
She pushed screaming!
“What have I done? This is horrible! I feel so ashamed of myself! I’ve sinned! Forgive me, oh God! Please forgive me!” she thought to herself as she screamed more.
“I wonder it it’s a boy or a girl?” she still thought to herself screaming.
The baby comes out bleeding.
The mom’s stomach turns red!
She screams holding her baby wrapped in a white cloth blanket.
“NOOOOOOOOOO!!” she screams while crying.
Blood covers the bed.
Blood covers the gray floor.
The ceiling was shaped in a dome with a window. It had colored glass designs like a church. There were two windows in the brick wall. They were colored also, like designs in a church. The dome was gold.
The woman continued to scream!
That night, the greatest evil was awoken!
Arella was together all night with a young, handsome blonde man who was a.k.a. Trigon…the devil!
And she knew it!
She was ashamed.
And now, one day, the daughter of Arella would rise…her name is Raven…
Chapter 1
Present day:
Los Angeles…
There is a yellow house, two stories tall. White outline on it. The driveway was huge! The roof was pure brown. There was a green Toyota jeep with a peace symbol in the back window. The front door of the house was white. It had double locks. The door handle was pure gold. There was a living room with an 8 foot long TV; a kitchen; a dining room with a huge dark table and there were light brown, smooth stairs.
You entered the second story up the stairs. There was a hallway; a bathroom on one side and a bedroom, most likely mom and dad’s room.
There was another door. On the door was a symbol: PEACE! There was a poster of a Harry Potter movie. The door was made out of wood. It was painted black.
Inside the door there were posters all over: Metallica (the band), with their lead singer playing; a magic game poster, one saying, “We will all die!” The wall was tan. The floor was dark.
A bed covered in black, silky blankets, pillows and sheets. It was a regular sized bed.
A girl and a ‘Goth’ guy were standing right next to the bed.
She had long, dark-purple dyed hair and silk, black undergarments on.
Her eyes were outlined in black. Her lips were dark purple. Her face was painted white, pure white. She had earrings in her nose and bottom lip.
He had long, black hair to his neck. Brown eyes with black eyeliner around them, and black lips. He wore a black t-shirt, black baggy pants, brown belt and black shoes. He loved magic, Harry Potter, Metallica, and anything ‘Goth!’ His name was Ryan. He was the hottest guy in school! At least all the girls thought so!
“You are so hot!” she tells Ryan, kissing him on the lips.
“What if the world was ‘gonna end tonight?” Ryan asked her, putting his hand on her back. On her back was a tattoo of a ‘raven’ by her waist.
“You live a little! You die a little!” she replies kissing him back on the lips.
“Let’s do it!” he tells her.
He moved closer to her to kiss her even more on the lips when she got a vision.
The girl’s name was Raina. She was the hottest and most ‘Goth’ girl at school.
She had a vision. A vision of fire burning the Golden Gate Bridge.
“What’s going on? A-H-H-H!! My head!!” she thought to herself.
Her eyes began to turn to yellow. A birthmark symbol of a circle in the middle of her forehead began to light up red. Her skin began to turn dark, shadowy blue.
A black hole surrounded her on the floor. She disappeared.
“Where the??” he asked her.
Behind him, a black hole surrounding a circle on the floor…she rose from the hole.
“Son of a twitch!!! What the devil??” he asked her.
“Whoa!! How did I do that?” she asked him.
“What the heck?” he continued to ask her.
“How did I do that? What the heck is going on?” she asked him freaked out.
“You freak!” he told her.
“Freak! I’m not a freak!” she replied.
“Son of a twitch! You freak!” he still told her.
Her eyes were turning yellow again. She melted to the floor with a black shadow coming in back of him. The shadow came out of the floor and was in the shape of a raven. Its wings swallowed the guy. The shadow disappeared and Raina came back out of the ground.
“Oh my gosh!!! Wake up!!! Wake up!!” she leans on the ground trying to wake him up.
He had blood on his forehead. Blood covered his whole body!
“Feel the power! He’s dead! The power! Feel the power!” a voice in her head said.
“What have I done? I murdered a guy!” she thought to herself.
“Raina! It’s time to come down for dinner now!” her mom yells.
“All right, be right down mom!” she replies.
“I ‘gotta get out of here! What’s happening to me?” she questions herself.
She grabbed a green backpack and put a purple hood around her blue face. She climbed out of the bedroom window to a tree, and landed on the wet grass.
Chapter 2
Los Angeles:
Midnight, downtown…
“Why am I doing this? Running away from home? Who am I? What am I doing here taking a bus out of town to San Francisco?” she asked herself.
She entered the bus. It was a tour bus. It went from Los Angeles to San Francisco every night. The two double doors of the bus opened up. She stepped in. The floor was very hard. It was pure black. The seats were made out of red leather. On the back of every two seats was a TV. Every seat had a window by it on the side. In the back of the bus there was a tan door. It was a bathroom. In the front, there was of course, the bus driver, an older man.
He had short gray hair and wrinkles. He wore a blue flannel shirt with black buttons on it, blue jeans and fancy, black shiny shoes. The type where there are no laces.
As she boarded the bus, her black shoes touched the hard, solid floor. She walked past the seats on each side of her.
Men, women and even children were sitting in them.
A child was looking at her. He had long, blonde hair to his neck; a torn t-shirt that was tan, it was torn down the middle; black jeans and sandals. He had blue eyes.
“Whoa! What is she? Is she ‘gonna kill me?” he thought to himself. His name was Tommy. Tommy Becker.
Tommy was about 8. All the family he had was his mom. His dad had passed away 6 months ago. He used to go to school when his father was alive. But now, they don’t have any money for school. They live on the streets now. Stealing food from stores.
He looked up to her with his head. He was scared of her. In his cut, bruised hands, he held a brown, plain old Teddy Bear. Its name was Bob. Holding his other hand was his big sister, Melvin. She had blonde hair put in a ponytail. She wore an ugly dark green shirt with pink shorts, torn on the leg and a pair of brown sandals. She had blue eyes. She also looked up at the strange girl.
Melvin was crying in tears. Her mom was killed by bad men. Melvin grabbed some money from her mom’s purse and ran to the bus with her two little brothers. She was the oldest, about 11 or 12.
On her lap was her little, little brother…Timmy. He had short blonde hair and held a blue, silk blanket…the last thing his mom touched before she was killed. He held it to his cheek and nose. He had brown eyes; a light blue, little torn t-shirt on, (it was torn right down the middle); yellow shorts torn on the leg and brown sandals. He looked up at his sister and began to smile.
“What am I ‘gonna do now? Mom’s dead! Now what?” Melvin thought to herself scared to death!
Timmy still smiled holding his light-blue silk blanket, sucking his thumb.
The strange hooded girl sat in the very, very back seat. It was on the left side of the very back of the bus. She looked out her window and saw it was raining…pouring! “Help me!!!” she thought to herself crying.
Chapter 3
San Francisco:
In a plain white room with nothing but pure bright white…
A girl with a black-cloaked hood and black cape covered her body. Her eyes were yellow, and then turned red.
She cried out, “Help me!!! Help me!!!”
She was a scared girl.
Her cloaked hood covered her eyes, but left her nose, lips and chin exposed. She has dark blue skin. Her eyes turned from yellow to red. Instead of two red eyes, she had four. Her skin turned to red and the pure bright white room into fire! Flames covered the room! She smiled in a devilish way! It blacked out.
A mysterious man woke up in his bedroom terrified! He had black hair to his ears, blue eyes, a black muscular t-shirt and blue jeans. He got out of bed. His name was Dick Grayson….a.k.a. Nightwing!
The bedroom was huge! The wall was white. The ceiling was dark blue and the floor was pure concrete. There were gray, automatic double doors. They opened. A strange woman came in. She had yellow skin, green eyes, red lips, and long blonde hair to her chest. She had a purple body suit on. It was in the shape of a ‘V.’ It outlined her chest, leaving her belly button exposed. She had a necklace that had a communicator on it and held up a purple cape. She had purple hand shields and purple boots. Her name was Kory.
She was a princess from the planet Tamaran. She came here along time ago, when the first team of Titans began.
“I had a dream again!” Nightwing told Kory.
“Me too!” Kory replied.
“A girl. She’s calling out to me!” Nightwing said.
“We have to help her!” Kory replied smiling.
“Star, I’m sending you to find her. Bring her here! I sense great evil danger!” Nightwing explained.
“I’m on it Dick!” she replied.
Kory exited the room.
Chapter 4
Next evening:
Downtown San Francisco…
Raina was just getting off her bus. It was about 6-7 pm and she was tired. She wanted to sleep.
She saw a beautiful, bright red pick-up. It was a Dodge truck to be exact. It had nice shiny tires!
“I wonder if I should hitch-hike? No one will see me!” she thought to herself.
She headed towards the red pick-up truck. There was an ugly green tarp covering the back camper of the pick-up. She opened up the back of the pick-up. There was a chain wrapped around the tarp so it wouldn’t fly all over the place. She jumped onto the camper of the truck. She lifted up the tarp to take a slight peek to see what was under it. There was a wrench and tires. She ducked down and climbed in. She shut the back trunk and put the tarp covering her and everything in the back camper. The truck started to move.
“Where is this going? Who’s driving it? Is it going out of the city? What am I doing here?” she thought to herself.
The truck stopped.
“Where am I? Are we getting gas? Or a hotel? Or a house?” she still thought to herself.
It was raining. She could feel the rain hit the tarp and her. She heard weird, strange noises!
“ROAR!! YAHHH!!” she heard.
She peaked. There was a strange hooded man fighting a muscular freak. He had a gray hood on; a black t-shirt with a black trench coat; black winter pants and brown boots that came up to his knees. He was punching the freak.
The muscular freak had long, blonde/yellow hair to his chest. He had vampire teeth that were crooked and had green eyes. He also had a black trench coat on over a black t-shirt and had brown boots. But he had claws on his hands like Wolverine, except shorter.
It was raining so hard that it was a tad bit blurry. By now the time was maybe 8 or 9 or 10…
The first hooded man that punched the freak looked a lot like ‘Kane the Wrestler.’ He turned his face. The way he turned his face, you could only see his right side. His eye was red. It had laser vision, target vision, target view, zoom-in and much more. The whole side of his face was made out of METAL. He had a METAL chin guard covering his chin. He lifted his hand, which was a mini-cannon. It was a futuristic design of course! It fired a sonic bullet that hit the freak. He fell down on the hard snowy ground. She saw that the other half of the hooded man’s face had a blue eye and he had short black hair only on that side. In the middle of his forehead was a red button that locked his METAL half together with his human half. The truck belonged to him. His name was Cyborg.
“This must be somewhere in the mountains,” she thought.
As she looked closer, she noticed that the rain was snow. There were mountains in the background and she was parked on the side of a cliff.
She looked down and saw there was a railing and after the railing you could see the Golden Gate Bridge and the whole city.
The hooded man continued to shoot at the freak. She was getting more curious. She gently slid out of the tarp, opened the camper and jumped down. The freak saw her from the corner of his eye. His name was Mammoth. Little was known about him. All that was known was he worked for the worst enemy known as the ‘Terminator.’ He ran towards her.
“NOOOOO!!” the hooded man replied.
Nightwing and Starfire show up.
“Go back beast!” Starfire told Mammoth.
“Come on, Miss Princess!” Mammoth said.
“Pick on someone else twitch!” Nightwing told him. Nightwing was wearing his costume.
“YAHHH!” Starfire threw star bolts at Mammoth.
Mammoth continued running towards Raven on all fours and attacked her right in the stomach with his claws. She blacked out.
Chapter 5
Somewhere in San Francisco:
“Where am I? Who are you?” she asked a strange yellow skinned girl. She had long orange hair to her chest, green eyes, a bodysuit that was shaped in a ‘V.’ It covered her underwear. It left half of the side of her upper body and belly button exposed. She had bright yellow skin. It was Kory.
“Take it easy! My name is…” Kory told her calmly.
“Where the freakin’ heck am I?” she thought to herself.
“You have yellow skin! Freak!!” she said. Her heart was racing! She felt her heart leap out of her! She was scared and speechless.
“We don’t like to use the terms ‘skin color’ or ‘freak’ around here!” Kory told Raina.
Nightwing came in the room.
“Who are you?” Raven asked him.
“I’m Nightwing, and this is the Titans Tower!” he replied.
Raina was lying on an operation table with a black bikini on. Her hood and cloaked trench coat were hanging up on a nail on the wall. The wall was gray. The operation table was made out of steel. The ceiling was white. The floor was made out of tiles. The room was maybe, as big as a hospital operating room. There was a small table that moved on wheels. On it were needles and other equipment that doctor’s use.
On her belly button were scratch marks in blood where Mammoth attacked her with his claws.
“Get away from me freak!” she got up off the operation table very fast! Her heart beat faster and faster! She saw a gray door with a keyboard of numbers; probably a security lock to make sure nobody gets ‘out!’ Most likely, the room is a medical room. She ran to the door. It was an automatic door. She ran to it and it opened. She went outside the door.
“She escaped Dick!” Kory tells him on a headphone in her yellow ear.
“She’s running! But not only because of us, but because of something else!” Dick replied.
“I’m on it!” Kory said smiling.
Raina continues to run. She runs down a hallway. There were doors on each side of the hallway. Inside the doors were rooms. A door opened and a hand grabbed her into the room! Her heart raced! It raced faster and faster! She looked at who grabbed her.
“You’re a green freak!!” she told him.
He had green skin, light green spiked hair, a purple spandex shirt with a black ‘T’ in the middle of it, black spandex pants and black tennis shoes with green strings.
“So they’re after you too?” he asked her.
His name was Garfield. He was an actor about two or three years ago. He was about 15 or 16 now.
“You too…??” Raina asked him.
“I’m Garfield! Friends call me Gar,” he shook her left hand.
“I’m Raina,” she shook his hand back.
“You’re running from them too, Miss?” Gar told her. His room had green walls. There were posters of his favorite band, Metallica. He has an I-Pod earpiece in his left ear. He is holding the I-Pod itself in his right hand. The I-Pod was white. He had a vampire mouth and two teeth stuck out when he smiled.
“Found them!” Kory said. She appeared standing in the entryway to Gar’s room.
“Busted!” Gar replied smiling.
Little was known about Gar, except that he became a “freak” because of an experiment done by his father.
In the X-Ray room at Titan’s Tower:
Cyborg found himself in an operation room with an X-ray being taken of him. Starfire was standing over him.
“Where am I?” he asked.
“I’m Kory. You’re in the Titan’s Tower. I’ve been X-raying your pure METAL body!! Welcome to the Titan’s!!
Chapter 6
A few minutes later:
The living room…
The floor was made of red and white tiles. There were big windows so that when you look out them, you could see the whole city. The view was beautiful! Right now, you could see the white, puffy but skinny clouds and the pure light blue sky. It was about 11 in the morning.
The METAL man that she saw earlier fighting the freak Mammoth, along with the yellow skinned girl, were standing there also. They had ‘not so happy’ looks on them.
“Raina Johnson, or should I say Ray…” Nightwing told her.
“What is your real name?” Kory asked her.
“Raven,” she replied.
“Gar, you are so busted!” Kory told him.
“What is this place?” Raven asked Nightwing.
“This is a place where the ‘gifted’ and ‘sidekicks’ become educated on the ‘Big Leagues!’ We’re a school!” Nightwing replied.
“Great! Just great!” Raven replies.
The school bell rings a few minutes later. There were classes all over the top floor.
Raven entered an oak door. She went in.
“Now class, we only have about 1 minute left, but next week I want to see an essay on ‘The History of the Presidents!’ But before we leave, I would like to introduce our new student, Raven!” Kory tells the class.
The floor was oak brown. There were two windows on the right side. The bell rings again. The ceiling was dark brown with 3 vents. There were school desks.
Raven walked in closer.
“Class dismissed!” Kory replied smiling.
“Kory, school’s out?” Raven asked her.
She was confused. Teens and kids from the ages of 13 – 16 shuffle thru the crowded room.
Kory had a piece of white chalk. Behind her was a green, smooth blackboard.
“Yep! I’m afraid it is. And all weekend too! It’s Friday after all! Enjoy your stay at the Titan Tower!” Kory told her, putting the piece of white chalk down.
“Hey, Raven, right?” Gar asked her.
“Yeah,” she replied.
“We’re having a party tonight on the bottom floor and I was wondering if you would be free tonight?” Gar asked her hoping she would be free.
“Sure. I’ll be free tonight,” Raven replied.
“Okay! Sweet! See you there!” Gar said.
“See you there!” Raven replied.
Party time:
Bottom floor…
“Let’s party!” Gar replied drinking punch.
He was holding a plastic cup that had punch in it. There was a ‘drink table’ that he was standing next to.
The floor was a bright red rug. The walls were green. The ceiling was red with pizzas being thrown on it. There were about 20 – 30 kids there.
“Hey, you made it!” Gar told her.
“Hey, I was doing some thinking, there’s a storage room and…” Gar’s friend Bart says. He had blonde hair and a yellow jacket with a ‘T’ in the middle of it.
“So? And who are you?” she asked him.
“I’m Bart and the storage room has the Batwing!” Bart told her.
“Okay. And?” she asked him.
“We’re ‘gonna take it for a joy ride!” Gar replied.
“Oh great!” Raven thought to herself scared.
< song: Trouble Now>
A few minutes later, the storage room…hanger #1:
Inside the Batwing…
“Strap in!” Bart tells everybody.
In the front part of the car: the roof was black, the floor was black, and the sides were black. There was a black futuristic steering wheel, gas gage, heater with vents, radio and a lot of buttons. There were also big windows in the shape of a triangle.
“How do we turn this on?” Bart asked Gar and Raven.
“Never mind!” Bart replied.
He touched a green button and it lit up! All the other buttons lit up green too.
“Buckle up and hang on!” Gar tells Raven
“Whoa!” Bart said.
The engine was turning on and it was vibrating! The Batwing was hovering over the concrete ground in the storage room.
The garage storage door opened and the Batwing took off flying out of the garage door into the outside.
“Whoa!” everyone screams!
The Batwing aims straight up over Titan Tower to the clouds. The Titan Tower was white with tall blue windows. It was in the shape of a ‘T.’ The Batwing was hovering over the clouds. Raven’s heart raced! It leaped out of her!
There were jets hiding in the clouds. The jets were an ugly green. Inside them, there were tracking screens. One picked up a strange object moving in big speed!
“Son of a twitch! What the freakin’ devil is that?” the pilot asked the General on his headphone.
The pilot was wearing a helmet and goggles, basically a pilot’s suit. There were so many buttons inside the jet!
“Fire that son of a twitch crud! Shoot it down!” the General replied.
“Yes sir!” the pilot agreed and came out of the clouds.
There were five more jets that were hiding in the clouds.
“Locking on target! Target locked! In three, two, one, fire!” Another male pilot said as he fired his missile.
The other jets were firing their missiles also. Then they all came out of the clouds really fast…sneaking up on the strange object.
“Um…I don’t know if this is good or not…but crud!! There are five things moving fast on us!” Bart said, looking at the tracker.
“Crud!” Gar replied.
“Hey Ray, do you have any powers that can destroy the missiles?” Gar asked her.
“Whoa!!! Oh crud!!!” Gar said.
Bart steered the Batwing sideways to duck the missiles.
“Son of a twitch!! I missed them!!!” the pilot told the General.
“I’m moving in!” the other pilot said.
He was moving in closer. “Lock on again…three, two, one…fire!” the pilot said.
Five missiles fired at them.
“Concentrate Ray! I believe in you!” Gar told her.
He was holding her hand. Her heart leaped out again! Her heart raced faster and faster! She smiled at him for a brief moment. She concentrated her mind on the missiles. For a brief moment, she possessed one missile and became it. Her eye’s turned yellow…clear, pure yellow. You couldn’t see her eyelids. Nothing, just pure yellow.
“Whoa! That is wicked awesome!” Gar replied amazed.
The missile turned back and other missiles followed it. They blew up!
Raven’s mind saw an image:
“Control!” her mom Arella told her.
Arella had long black hair to her chest, a white low-cut dress and a hooded white cape covering her from head to feet. She had a birthmark on her forehead that was in the symbol of a circle, marked in red. She was standing in a pool of blood and a circle of fire surrounded her.
“Help me!” she cried.
“Yes, help her!” a deep devilish voice told Raven in her head. There were four eyes telling her that.
Then she woke up!
“Way to go Ray!” Gar told her smiling. He was still holding her hand.
“Yeah, whatever you did…that was awesome!! Nice work Raven!!” Bart told her.
“OH CRUD!!! CRUD!!!” Gar said.
There was one missile left and it hit the left wing.
“We’re going down!” Bart replied.
“Buckle up!” Gar said.
Flames were coming from the left wing. The Batwing was falling in midair.
“MAYDAY!! We’re ‘gonna crash!” Bart said.
Gar and Raven’s hearts were racing harder and harder. The BATWING crashes on the grass in front of the Titan Tower…the left wing on fire breaks off.
“Hard landing!” Gar said.
Nightwing, Cyborg and Kory were standing outside looking at them all in the Batwing.
“Busted!” Gar said.
There was an open hatch door on the ceiling of the Batwing. Bart opened it.
“I can explain!” Bart replied.
Later:
Living room at Teen Tower…
“You broke my Batwing! What the devil were you thinking?” Nightwing asked them.
“Sorry,” Gar said. He was smirking.
“You are so busted it’s not even funny!” Victor told them.
“You’re ‘gonna clean it up…shine it up…until every scratch mark is gone!” Nightwing tells them.
“Yes sir!” Gar says.
“Sorry, very sorry,” Raven told them.
“Sorry’s not ‘gonna cut it!” Nightwing told Raven.
Chapter 7
In a secret lab:
A room that has test tubes in it…
The room was made out of steel.
The floor was made out of steel.
The ceiling was made out of steel.
There were doctors. They had green masks on and also had Firemen’s masks.
There were nametags.
In there hands, they were holding a staff. On the end of it there is a rock that turns into electricity.
There were about 20 doctors.
There were soldiers.
There were about 30 soldiers. They had long gray pistols, ugly green shirts, nametags, green camouflage pants and black boots to their knees on. The nametags were on the ugly green t-shirts.
This place was like an Arena 51. But no aliens. There were only test tubes.
This place was located somewhere in another country. But no one knew exactly where though. It was a scary place. The army did experiments…on animals…or people…or even UFO’s.
A military base? It could possibly be Area 51.
Who knows!
It could be worse than Azarath even!
“Knock!!! Knock!!! Knock!!!” everything started to blackout.
“Knock!!! Knock!!! Knock!!!” there was a knock.
Victor was dreaming.
“Knock!!! Knock!!! Knock!!!” there was a knock again.
Victor woke up in his bed. He had no shirt on. Only metal pants.
In his bedroom, he headed towards the door. The door was gray. It was made out of dark wood. The walls were white. The floor was black. The bed had one bed sheet. It was light blue. The bed frame was pure silver.
He opened the gray door. It was a double locked door. He opened the golden door handle.
“Hello? Ray?” Victor asked her.
“I couldn’t sleep. You?” she asked him.
She had a dark green hood on, blue skin, yellow eyes and a dark green cape that covered her shoulders down, even her legs.
“No, I couldn’t sleep either. Now what’s wrong?” Victor asked her.
“You. You have a darkness in you. I can sense it,” she replied.
“Just a nightmare,” Victor replied.
“Don’t be afraid…” Raven told him. She was putting her hands on his forehead.
“Think hard! Think hard! Let the nightmare come to life!” Raven told him. Her eyes were turning pure white.
Vic and Raven saw a vision…
There was a room that had test tubes in it. Victor was in one of those test tubes. There was a General there in front of the test tube that Victor was in. He had short gray hair, a gray mustache, blue eyes and an ugly green shirt on with a nametag that said, “General Stone.” He wore it proudly! He also had black dress pants on and a pair of brown boots to his knees.
Victor had marks on his left hand: numbers “1191.”
He was crying.
He blacked out.
“A-H-H!!” Raven replied. Her head was on fire.
“Are you okay?” Victor asked her.
“Yeah. I’m fine. I can feel your anger,” Raven told him.
“You better go get some rest,” Victor told Raven.
“Yeah. See ‘ya,” Raven replied.
“It I almost time…your rebirth begins soon!” a deep dark voice tell her in her head. Four red eyes appear. She saw this in her vision.
“No! No! No! No!!!” Raven says running down the hallway.
“Why didn’t you tell her the truth about what a horrible man I am? What can I do?” Victor thought to himself in his bedroom.
He remembers a ‘Secret Lab’…
The walls, floor and ceiling were made out of steel.
There were test tubes.
Victor and others were in them.
General Stone was talking to some soldiers…
“Just in case ‘Project Cyborg’ goes haywire, there is a way out…an off switch! Located in the heart of the METAL is a bomb! The bomb will go off if a Cyborg’s power is low. Even if they break out, within 5 months they will be a giant bomb…waiting to explode! BOOM!!! But the only way they can recharge is to come back here and plug themselves into the main frame!” The General tells the soldiers, Victor remembered as he was getting back into bed looking at his hand.
His hand had a power meter on it. It was saying 87%. When it goes to 100%, he and anything within a 500-foot radius will go BOOOOOM!! The power meter was blinking blue into red.
Victor was in bed. He pulled his covers over him. His one METAL-red eye went to blue and he fell asleep.
His power meter said 88% this time. Each time he fell asleep or fought, it used 1-2%. He would die soon and he knew it.
Next morning:
“Knock…Knock…Knock…”
There was a knock at the door.
Victor was getting out of bed. He walked to the door and opened the golden door handle.
“Who could it be at this hour?” Victor thought to himself.
He opened the door handle made out of gold.
“Raven’s gone!!” Gar replied.
“NOOOO!!! NOOOO!!!” Victor said.
Gar had a black T-shirt and black pants on, green skin and dark green hair.
“Come on! Find her!” Gar replied.
“She’s nowhere in sight,” Nightwing appeared.
“The train leaves tonight for Los Angeles. She’s going home,” Victor thought to himself.
“I know where she is,” Victor says.
Unknown bad-guy headquarters:
“She’s vulnerable, now is the time to strike,” Slade says.
He was the leader of the ‘Hive-Five.’ The most dangerous criminal in the world! His name was Slade Wilson. He served in a war. Now he went by ‘Deathstroke the Terminator.’ He had a METAL helmet; one side of it was red and the other black. It covered his face. It was like a Halloween mask, with one eye blue and the other was pitch black. There was a dark blue army shirt; a black utility belt that had lots of gadgets; a pair of dark blue pants; black boots to his knees and a gray sharp-edged sword in his left hand.
Chapter 8
Downtown:
Subway ticket booth…
Raven is getting a ticket for the subway train.
“Where too?” a woman asked Raven. She had blue eyes and red lipstick covered her lips. She was about 40 – 50; had dark brown hair; slightly overweight; had a blue uniform on with a nametag that said:
“Los Angeles,” Raven replied.
“Los Angeles…that will be…” the woman told her how much the ticket would cost.
“Here,” Raven replied and handed her a $20 bill.
The red subway train pulled in. It was dark and cold. Raven ran to the train and boarded it. She walked to the inside of the train and shuffled her way to the back seat. Victor was standing there.
“So, you’re running away? Think that’s going to solve your problems?” Victor asked her. He had a black hood on covering his face so you could only see his lips; a black jacket and black baggy pants.
“What are you doing here?” Raven asked his back.
“Is this the answer to all your problems? You just run away? You forget, I’m scared too!” Cyborg (Vic) tells her.
“What was her name?” Raven asked. She knew Cyborg had a girlfriend and he lost her.
“Her name was Trudy. She was the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen!” Cyborg replied.
“We should probably sit down,” Raven told him.
The floor was red. The train started to move.
“I’m sorry,” Raven sat down and hugged Cyborg.
“I’m sorry too…” Cyborg replied hugging her back.
Raven started to cry.
The train started to move faster!
“Something’s wrong!” Cyborg thought to himself.
Raven’s heart beat faster and faster!
The door where you enter was ripped open! The man known as ‘Deathstroke’ entered with his sharp pointed sword!
“I’m here to take the girl!” he said.
“Get away from her, you dirty little twitch!” Cyborg told him holding her tight.
“You must be Cyborg! Pity, I could snap you in two right now!” he told Cyborg.
“What do you want?” Cyborg asked him.
“I want the girl! And you can’t stop me!” Deathstroke replied.
“Well, you can’t have her! So how are we ‘gonna play this?” Cyborg asked him.
Deathstroke walked up to an older man on the train that was sitting on the opposite side. The older man was reading a newspaper. He had short silver-gray hair. He looked like a businessman and a ‘grandpa’ type. He had wrinkles on his cheeks and was maybe 65 or 70. He had a dark blue dress shirt on and dark brown jacket. On his wrist was an old grandfather’s watch. It was pure gold! And it was probably worth something! His blue dress shirt was tucked into his black dress pants and a black belt held up his pants.
“I’m going to die! NOOO!! NOOO!!! Please don’t kill me!!” the older man thought to himself. His name was Charley.
“If you get mad because you don’t get what you want, and a person is standing right next to you, just simply walk up to the person and stab them in the heart!” Deathstroke explained.
He grabbed his ‘sharp pointed sword’ with his black gloves and leaned his hand back and aimed straight at the older man’s heart! He stabbed him!
“A-H-H-H!!” the older man cried!
The crowd on the train was gasping for air! Their eyes couldn’t believe what just happened! Their hearts were racing harder and harder! They were wondering, “Are we going to be next?” Everyone was panicking!
“NOOOOO!!! NOOOOO!!! I’ll go!!” Raven replied shouting! She was crying!
“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! RAVEN, NOOOOOOOOO!!!” Cyborg replied.
The older man, Charley, was bleeding all over the sword. Deathstroke pulled his sword out of the man. Charley fell forward with blood dripping all over the hard floor! His eyes shut as he died.
“VICTOR!!!” Raven cried out!
A woman appears! She had a white hood like Raven, with golden horns coming out of it. She was covered with a white cloak from her neck to her feet. She had purple skin that was still showing. Her eyes were covered by the cloaked hood, but her nose, mouth and chin were exposed! Her name was Jinx!
“Until next time Cyborg, goodbye!” Deathstroke told Cyborg.
“Jinx?” Deathstroke asked Jinx.
Deathstroke jumped out of the door with Jinx, making a pink force field around himself, Jinx and Raven.
“NOOOOOOOO!!!” Cyborg replied yelling.
There was a gap of track about 1 mile long. It was about
30 – 50 feet down and a wall was blocking the railway. Either way they were stuck!!
“NOOO!!” Cyborg said! He shut his eyes. His heart raced harder and harder.
“We’re all going to die!” Cyborg thought to himself.
The train stopped!
Cyborg opened his eyes wondering what happened! He looked down in the window and saw Kory there.
“What is she doing here?” he thought to himself.
A few minutes later:
As the train was safely stopped, Kory came into the train.
“Raven’s gone,” Cyborg told her.
“NOOOOO!! GO! GO FIND HER!!” Kory replied.
“What about all these people on the train?” Cyborg asked her.
“I’ll take care of them! GO!!” Kory replied.
“By the way, where are the others?” Cyborg asked her.
“They’re on a mission stopping Slade, or Deathstroke! Apparently, a mutated freak got out of his cage and it’s all a part of Slade’s plan,” Kory explained.
“Deathstroke, he will pay for this!” Cyborg said.
“You have a hard, rock solid heart! I can feel your pain! GO!! GO!!” Kory told him.
Cyborg went to the door and went out of it.
“Now, is everyone here on this train ‘gonna be okay?” Kory asked them.
“A-huh,” they replied.
“Sleep! Sleep! You will not remember what has taken place here today! You will wake up thinking you’re on your way to work! Is that understood?” Kory asked them.
“A-huh!” they replied.
They opened their eyes and she was gone…vanished, out of sight into thin air.
Chapter 9
Downtown San Francisco:
Golden USA Bank…
It was about 6 – 7 pm in the evening. There were 20 – 30 people. Particularly, a janitor that was disguised. It was really Starfire. Kory (Starfire), had a long-sleeved white shirt with a black jacket on. The nametag on it says: ‘Donna Troya.’ She had tight black pants and black boots up to her knees. Her hair was blonde and down to her chest and she had black sunglasses on.
Nightwing was disguised as a bank security guard. He had black hair to his ears and black sunglasses on. He had a long-sleeved black t-shirt and black jacket with a nametag. It said ‘Jason Todd.’ He wore black dress pant and a pair of black tennis shoes. The shoelaces were black.
And wondering to the side of them was Gar (Beastboy) disguised also as a janitor. He had a white cap, white long-sleeved shirt with a white jacket and a nametag that read: ‘Gar Logan.’ He wore white baggy pants and a pair of white boot to his knees. He had a brown mop.
The disguised people had headphones in their ears.
“See anything Star?” Nightwing asked her.
“No, not yet,” Kory replied.
“Guys, there’s over 20 – 30 people here! Wait, I sniff something,” Gar told them on the headphones.
“What?” Nightwing asked him.
“They’re here!” Gar replied.
“Dick, look up!” Kory told Nightwing.
The floor was made out of tile. It was light tan. There were two floors. The second one was a balcony.
A strange short man jumped off the balcony to Nightwing. His name was Gizmo. He had blue eyes and dark brown short hair to his ears. His hair was spiked. He had a pure gold earring in his left ear; a dark green suit that was bullet proof, water proof and fire proof; and a pair of dark gray tennis shoes that lit up a light green on the sides. When they turned on with a remote control that he had, they could fly like a jet. You see, you could give Gizmo a shoelace and he could turn it into a saw. He could turn anything…you name it…a cup, a piece of paper…I mean anything! He had a jet pack on his back with tentacles like Doctor Octopus from Spiderman.
Gizmo attacked Nightwing! Dick (Nightwing) reached into his packet and grabbed a batarang and threw it at Gizmo! It hit Gizmo’s tentacles and knocked him down.
“Look out Star!” Dick told her.
Mammoth came at Kory. He ran to her and was about one inch away. He had long blonde hair to his chest. His teeth were crooked and he had a black metal ‘X’ around his chest. He had blue eyes, black pants and black gloves with pointy spikes. He looked like Kane and Juggernaut! He put his right hand with his spiked gloves, on her neck…her soft alien skin! He began choking her!
“Say goodbye, Miss America!” Mammoth told her.
“A-H-H-HUUUHHH!” she said reaching for air.
He squeezed her harder and harder! Her eyes were in tears! Her soft skin was covered in sweat! Her lips were dry as the desert! Her eyes turned green with green energy beginning to form in her hands! She threw the green energy at Mammoth and electrocuted him!
“Dude, are you okay?” Gizmo asked him.
“Retreat!!!” Mammoth said with Gizmo running away with him.
“They got away!” Nightwing said.
“But where?” Kory asked Nightwing.
“Look! On top of the Golden Gate Bridge!” Kory said.
“NO!! RAVEN!!” Nightwing replied.
“So, how are we going to get there?” Gar asked.
Nightwing smiled.
A few minutes later:
Gar, Kory and Nightwing are in the Titan Jet…
“So, how are we going to stop them?” Kory asked Nightwing.
On the top of the Golden Gate Bridge, Raven was strapped down to a metal bed.
“What are you going to do to me?” Raven asked Deathstroke.
“Make this city bow to its knees!” Deathstroke said.
“Not if I can help it!” Nightwing said, suddenly appearing with Gar and Kory.
The Titan Jet was parked on top of the bridge.
“Mammoth, Jinx, Gizmo…” Deathstroke called.
“Rematch? Missy?” Mammoth told Kory.
“Too slow Nighty!” Gizmo told Nightwing.
“Wait, I’m leaving here with Raven alive!” Cyborg said as he appeared suddenly.
“Where were you?” Nightwing asked Cyborg.
“So you thought you could have a party without me?” Cyborg asked Nightwing.
“Titans Go!!!” Nightwing replied.
“All that power you have…it’s ashamed you’ll never use it!! But I will!!” Deathstroke told Raven.
“You don’t understand all that power! You really don’t want it!” Raven tried to tell him.
“Not if I have anything to do with it! Get away from my girl!” Gar told Deathstroke.
“You don’t learn, do you??” Deathstroke told Gar (Beastboy).
Back with Mammoth and Kory:
“It’s time you learned your lesson!” Kory told Mammoth.
“Goodbye Miss America!” Mammoth said laughing.
“KORUINA!” she flies into the air and shoots star bolts at Mammoth! He falls straight down and passes out!
At the same time:
Nightwing was battling Gizmo…
“You can’t catch me! You can’t catch me!” Gizmo tells Nightwing, teasing him.
“You little mutt! YAHHHH!” Nightwing throws batarangs at his chest where his tentacles are connected. His tentacles fall off!
Back with Raven and Deathstroke:
Gar (Beastboy) shape shifts into a ‘T-Rex Dinosaur’…
“You never learn, do you?” Deathstroke asked Beastboy. He threw a boom-a-rang at Beastboy and a net came out of it that is made of electricity that electrocuted Beastboy.
(Because of that, Gar would have to shape shift into a different animal each second…or bye bye! It was basically a huge electric cage!)
“Hello Power!” Deathstroke said starting up the machine that began to transfer Raven’s power to himself.
“A-H-H-H-H!!” Raven screamed! It was electrocuting her!
“NO!!” Nightwing said.
“NO!!” Beastboy said.
“The power! Yes, the POWER!!
I AM ‘TRIGON THE TERRIBLE!!’
Bow before me!” Deathstroke said.
“How do we stop him?” Nightwing asked Kory.
Deathstroke flew…
The sky turned red!
The ocean and the water under the Golden Gate Bridge turn to fire!
The Golden Gate Bridge began to move towards the city…Deathstroke was making it his entryway to his Kingdom!
The people of San Francisco began to turn into zombies with blood dripping from their lips!
“We can’t stop him, can we?” Kory asked Nightwing.
“You can’t, but I can!” Raven said.
“What?” Nightwing asked her.
“I still have little power left, but it will be enough,” Raven explained.
“RAVEN!! NO!!” Gar said.
“I love you Gar,” Raven told Gar.
Raven got up from the bed that she was chained on and broke the chains with what little power she had left.
Back with Cyborg and Jinx:
“You won’t win!” Jinx said shape shifting into Cyborg.
”You’re not me!” Cyborg told her with his hand turning into a sonic cannon and firing at Jinx until she fell down.
Back with Raven and Deathstroke:
“What are you doing, my daughter?” Deathstroke asked Raven.
“Surrendering,” Raven replied shaking his hand.
“What?” Cyborg questioned her.
“Good!” Deathstroke replied.
“A-H-H-H-H!!” Deathstroke choked!
“Where is Deathstroke?” Raven asked him squeezing harder with her hand as it lit up.
“Deathstroke is dead! Trigon reigns!!” he replied.
“Azarath says hello!” she squeezed his powers out of him and she lit up in a white raven the size of a cloud. Deathstroke disintegrated into ashes! Raven fell on to the top of the Golden Gate Bridge.
“Raven?” Gar rushed out of the ‘electric cage.’
“Let’s not do that again,” Raven replied.
“So, if we won, why does it feel like we lost?” Kory asked Raven.
“Because the war is not over!” Nightwing replied.
The sky turned back to blue…
The ocean and the water under the Golden Gate Bridge turned blue once again…
and
The zombies turned back into normal humans!
Chapter 10
Later that night:
Titan Tower…
Raven knocks on Gar’s door.
“Can I come in?” Raven asked him.
Much later that night:
Raven gets out of bed in Gar’s room with Gar still asleep…
She heard something and opened the door to see what it was. She went to the front room where the door is on the top floor to the roof. Cyborg was there checking his power battery…it was at 98%!
“Couldn’t sleep either?” Raven asked him.
“I’m leaving,” Cyborg replied.
“Leaving?” Raven asked him.
“Yeah. Leaving. I have to take care of some business. I’ll be back though, real soon!” Cyborg told her.
“But I…” Raven said.
“I love you too!” Cyborg said.
Raven hugged Cyborg while crying. Cyborg cried and his tear turned into metal and disappeared into his METAL face because he couldn’t really cry!
Cyborg opened the door to the roof. It was snowing. He went out.
“I have business to tend to also,” she touched her cloak, and on her cloak was a button…
a portal to Azarath!
She touched the button and began to light up yellow…a yellow portal was in the floor. She smiled.
“I’m sorry Gar,” she said and jumped into it. She disappeared with the portal!
In Azarath:
A strange young woman was standing there…
The sky was red…
There were no houses…
Just straight fire on the ground!
“Mom?” Raven asked her.
“We have a lot to talk about!” Raven replied.
The End!
