Story #2: Night of surprises

So finally I decided to write that story I'd said I write. I decided to write a story that was closer to the beginning since I just started telling these stories to the world. If you've been thinking of these things since 2012 pretty much, where else would you start? After this I might start doing little funny bits and pieces in one page instead of one long story, but we'll see.

This story takes place just two months after Raven gets back from the second world hop that Nightmare put her through. She has Marshadow with her in this as an indication of that. I should go ahead and tell you now that since her and the other titans separated she started going by a different hero name and started trying to use physical strength instead of her magical powers. You'll catch on, I'm sure.

The night was coming, and Raven was ready for anything. As much as she didn't want to, she felt she had to keep her identity as one of the Teen Titans a secret. Robin, or rather Nightwing now a days, said he didn't object to the idea, but it might be best to just be herself. She is one of the most liked of the team by fans after all. For Raven that was all the more reason why she kept herself in disguise as the Unknown.

So far that Nightmare and his dream monster friends kept to their word of leaving her alone after she came back. Just as they did before the first time. Raven didn't want to let down her guard. After all, Nightmare was mostly demon then dream monster and robot combined. He said so himself. "Wanted to see if what people said about Raven being a true demon hybrid was true-" he said. "Wanted to test her powers to see how in control she was of them-" he said. He seemed regal enough, but then he sends her through lord knows how many worlds, some of which tried to kill her, some of which couldn't care either way. She did meet Joshua though, even if he is a stuck up smarta**. Then there was Mewtwo, Majora, Marshadow, and even Cloud Strife. Oh, then there was Taokaka and NiGHTS, plus lord knows how many others there were. They were all nice to her throughout the whole ordeal, through both times Nightmare made Raven go through worlds. Joshua especially. He even acompanied her through the second world hop till Nightmare finally let Raven come home to San Francisco, which she was thankful to him for. Most of the worlds she went through, Joshua's included, were known to be video-games in the realm of Reality and other worlds who had such technology, so Raven had mostly no clue as what to expect when coming to each world. Some of them, she will admit, she actually liked after getting to know it.

Maybe she should have paid more attention to those games those two idiots played all the time. One of them told her too,"-You might like them if you at least looked into them." God she missed them.

Why did her and the other Teen Titans decide to go their separate ways after all the villians in the area left, seeing as how they couldn't beat the Titans time and again? At least Robin, err, Nightwing now, was doing well. Starfire is staying with him, so she's okay. Cyborg joined with the Justice League, so he obviously was doing great. Raven had no clue as to what Beast Boy was up to. For awhile he sent Raven, and presumably the others, at least one postcard saying where he was and what holiday celebration was going on there, then he just stopped.

Raven hadn't heard from Beast Boy since.

Marshadow: Mar?
Raven: Hm? Oh sorry, got lost in my thoughts is all. I'm okay, really.

Marshadow hugged her to let her know he was there. Marshadow was adorable, she couldn't resist. Raven didn't trust leaving Marshadow in her apartment alone. Mewtwo said that Marshadows were considered mythical pokemon, so people would try to hunt them down, only to end in vain and exhaustion. So Raven decided to take Marshadow with her. He often hid under her hood, and Mewtwo did say that Marshadows were able to hid in the shadows of people, and Raven's Marshadow was real close to her, so at least they had that straightened out.

She had to think of other things now though. While the Unknown, Raven's disguise, was gone for lord knows what reason, some werewolf has been running amuck. It hasn't hurt anyone yet, not seriously anyway. The few times the police caught up to it and tried to tase and shoot it, it only pissed the werewolf off and he'd throw them over some distance just so he could run off somewhere and disappear. Other then that, it has caused some vandalism to public and police property, for what seems to be no apparent reason for it to. At first Raven figured that who ever this werewolf was they may have surpressed rage and this werewolf seemed like the only way to release it, even if they weren't controlling themselves as a werewolf. Then started seeing glimpses of the thing before it ran away from wrecking cars or something. No one has been able to get a good look at the werewolf to be able to tell any distinctive features, but Raven has been hearing things about it having green fur. Green fur.

Unless this werewolf was some mutation, Raven only knew one person that could be associated with green fur...

But could it really be him?... After not seeing him all these years... It had to be.

Last time she saw the werewolf, it seemed to almost recconize her through her all black disguise as the Unknown. Maybe if she saw it tonight, maybe she could find out if it is him...

Fortunately luck and fate were at her side tonight, for Raven heard the familiar howl this werewolf always gave before wrecking havoc again. It sounded like it came from the outskirts of the city, close to the old valley. Raven motioned for Marshadow to duck into her hood, which he did obediently, and headed toward the call of the werewolf. She was worried that Nightmare may try something tonight, seeing as how werewolfs have been connected to the occult as well as demons.

(Outside City limits)
She searched for that werewolf for what seemed like a hour. She could hear it howling, but it kept moving before she could find it. No sign of Nightmare's henchmen either, which was good. Raven was starting to give out when she heard something running not far from her. Her sixth sense told her it was the werewolf, it was close, and it was... Right behind her!

She immediately jumped up to see the werewolf run past where she was. It braked itself and turned to her. It's eyes shown brightly in the night, and Raven could swear she saw a hint of green in it's pupils. It growled and stepped slowly towards her, as if to intimidate her. The moon shined cloudless that night, and could see it; the green fur covering this werewolf.

It had to be him. Only Beast Boy could become any animal and be green covered.

Raven: Down boy, I'm not here to hurt you. If anything I want to help you.
Werewolf:*growling loudly*
Raven: Beast Boy please, you know it's me. Remember?

The werewolf stopped for a moment and gave Raven a somewhat confused look, as if it was saying "Do I know you?" Raven figured that, for whatever reason, BB wasn't in control of his werewolf form. It made sense to her, since BB did have that uncontrollable Wildebeest form that Raven herself had the misfortune of being a victim of. She could barely say Beast Boy's name after that, let alone tell the other titans that Beast Boy was innocent.

Raven: BB, listen to me, ok? I'm here, there's no need to worry. Come on. Come here.

The werewolf stood there a moment. Every time someone came close to him, they would try to hurt him. This girl though, she didn't do anything of the sort. These memories came to him, and they seemed to be of her. Though there were times she would hurt him, there were an equal number of moments of being close. She looked different now, but her voice... it was still the same; caring and yet concerned.

Raven: That's it. It's ok now.
???: Oh how sweet, the beauty and her beastly boyfriend.

Raven turned around to see one of Nightmare's henchmen, Nightmare Foxy, standing not far from her. BB growled at him, and Raven didn't stop him.

Raven: What do you want? You and Nightmare said your were going to leave me alone.
Nightmare Foxy: Aye lass, we did. But Nightmare heard someplace that your powers got a little "out of control" during your trip. And as much as I personally couldn't care less about anyone's business, let alone your's,  Nightmare has other plans, so either you send your sailorboy away or things will get rather bloody on this deck.

As he said that, Raven felt the eyes of the other Nightmares watching as they started crawling from the shadows. BB stood on his hind legs and growled louder. He looked at Raven as if asking for permission to fight.

Raven:(chuckle) Get em boy. Show them what a real animal can do. Besides, I shouldn't be staying up this late anyway.

BB bared his teeth and he sunk his claws into the ground as he prepared to pounce.

Nightmare Foxy: Oh that's cute, seems like the witch taught her mutt some tricks. If it's going to be like that then, we'll just have to take you to the gallows, won't we?

BB completely lost it and ran straight for Nightmare Foxy. Before the other Nightmares could even get out from their hiding places, Nightmare Foxy was thrown clear across the clearing. Nightmare Bonnie tried to get the literal jump on the werewolf, but BB's reflexes allowed him to bite down on Bonnie's leg and slam him to the ground. Both Nightmare Freddy and Nightmare Chica tried to get him from both sides, but BB saw it coming and jumped straight up, causing both Nightmares to ram right into each other. Before they realized it, BB slammed his feet into them as he came back down, flattening them to the ground onto Nightmare Bonnie. Nightmare Foxy came back charging brandishing his hook, only to take a swing and a miss as BB grabbed Foxy's arm and slammed him into the ground on top of his fellow Nightmares.

Raven figured if this is what BB's werewolf form was capable of, she wouldn't mind knowing what he was capable of when he could control himself. She heard Nightmare Balloonboy as he attempted to grab her, only for him to get kicked in his face. Raven figured it wouldn't hurt to use her magic this far from the city, since no one but these freaks would know it was her. She used her telekinesis to lift Nightmare Mangle off the ground and swing her around, hitting the other Nightmares after Raven. If this is all Nightmare had planned for testing her, he had to do alot better then this.

After slamming Nightmare Mangle to the ground, Raven noticed that Nightmare Fredbear, Nightmare's second in command, had joined the fray.

Nightmare Fredbear: Idiots, the lot of you! If we want to get to Raven, get the boy first! That'll make her think twice about making a mockery of us!
Nightmare Foxy: With pleasure.
Raven: Oh I think it'll be me that's makes you think twice!

She targeted Fredbear, take down the brain you take down the ghoul. She let BB take on the rest of the Nightmares, she trusted he could handle them. Nightmare Fredbear hadn't expected the attack, but he was able to dodge it. Raven used her magic to throw nearby rocks at him, but unlike the other Nightmares, he could teleport repeatedly around. He also had that stomach mouth of his, which Nightmare himself also had, so Raven had to keep her distance. BB meanwhile was knocking down the Nightmares like bowling pins. The more they attacked, the angrier he became, which in turn fueled his strength. Plus BB had a surprisingly quick healing rate, so even with the Nightmares did something serious to him, he would heal before they could make it worse. They still fought though, getting back up and trying to smother him to the ground. Or something.

Fredbear teleporting like this was starting to get annoying. Raven finally managed to hit him in his head, causing him to be stunned. She took the chance and jumped kicked his head off, literally. Nightmare Fredbear could function without his head, being part dream monster, which surprised Raven. His body was having a hard time hitting her though, as she kept dodging his swipes and slashes as his head was cursing on and on. She didn't even need to teleport herself to dodge them. It most almost hilarious.

Nightmare Fredbear: Get her already! Sneak up behind her if you must! You know what Nightmare will do if we fail him this night!

He was talking to his own body like it was a separate entity? Why would he do that? Raven couldn't imagine that being the case. She soon found it wasn't his body Fredbear was yelling at, it was the two newest additions of the Nightmares; Jack-O-Bonnie and Jack-O-Chica. They managed to sneak up behind Raven; Jack-O-Bonnie wrapping his arms around Raven's, preventing use of her arms, and Jack-O-Chica grabbing Raven's legs to prevent too much struggle. Fredbear managed to maneuver his body to his head, picking it up and reattaching it to his body again. Upon realizing what was happening BB, not out of memory but out of sheer instinct, headed toward Nightmare Fredbear in rage. Nightmare Foxy, however, managed to pounce on BB's back, surprising and knocking him down.

Raven:*grunting* What does Nightmare want with me anyway? I never did anything to him!
Nightmare Fredbear: We heard something about you using some "demon form" a few times during your last trip, and as you should remember, Nightmare is rather interested in that half of you. You of all people should know how rare a human demonic hybrid such as yourself is. Most end up more demon or more whatever else they are, Nightmare himself is more demon then anything else. But he senses you might be equal in both places, something unique to people such as yourself.
Raven: That's all? I could have told you that.
Nightmare Fredbear: Yes well, you have had some time in cartoons, have you not?
Raven: That's the other me-
Nightmare Fredbear: I mean you, Raven! You and your friends have had time in such a cartoonish spotlight, and you know what they say about cartoon demons.

He give Raven a sudden punch in her gut, forcing Jack-O-Chica and Jack-O-Bonnie to let her go so they wouldn't fall down with her. Considering Fredbear's fists, like most of the other Nightmares, were larger then most people's heads, it was a rather harsh hit. Fredbear noticed how his fellow Nightmares were close to knocking Raven's werewolf friend unconscious. Using only one hand, Fredbear picked Raven up and squeezed her tightly as she desperately wanted to choke all the Nightmares.

Nightmare Fredbear: Your angry aren't you? Say it!
Raven: ...
Nightmare Fredbear: You've surpressed your emotions for so long, keeping your powers in control. Well done, Nightmare congratulates you for that. He said it's a good way to keep the demon in you in check. However, people say your an empath, a magical one at that. You feel others emotions just as intensely as they would, if not more, don't you? It fuels your powers even. Ain't that just, I don't know, ironic? You hide your emotions, yet you feel others'.
Raven: It doesn't work like that-
Nightmare Fredbear: Does it? ...Besides, we've heard it was in life or death situations that your demon half has been appearing from anyway. Though Nightmare suggests that either you learn to feel and accept that other half of yours, or take a one-way trip to insanity.
Raven: And BB?
Nightmare Fredbear: We didn't intend for him to involved in this. Knocking him unconscious will return him to his human form anyway. Other than that, we won't hurt him unless he chooses to involve himself in this. Believe me that'll only make things worse.

Fredbear squeezed Raven harder, making her somewhat blue from a lack of air. She knew what Fredbear wanted, he wanted her to lose it and let her anger summon her demon heritage within her. Raven wasn't going to let that happen. Her lessons at Azeroth taught her better. Though Raven had to agree, her being an empath did get in the way of her own emotions, but that wouldn't stop her from hiding her emotions tonight.

If anything, she was gonna make sure it didn't have to come to that.

Raven: How quick you are to forget what I'm capable of Fredbear.
Nightmare Fredbear:(chuckle) Oh I know well of your powers, Raven. We've fought before if you recall such things. I will admit your quite crafty-
Raven: Azeroth, Metrion, Zenthos!

Upon shouting her infamous battle cry Raven's astral form, better known as her soul-self, took shape into the form of a giant black bird and knocked Nightmare Fredbear back, causing him to let go of Raven. After Raven's soul-self gave a near deafening screech, Raven directed it towards the group of nightmares that were still fighting her werewolf ally. BB took the hint and managed to jump away mere seconds before the soul-self rammed into the nightmares.

Though BB's werewolf form still thought and acted like a wild animal, he knew Raven was someone worth protecting. His instinct told him to. He was starting to get worn down though from so many attacks and assaults. He didn't feel any immediate danger from the black bird.

Raven felt the Nightmares were all out cold. She had to be careful to be sure since her sixth sense couldn't feel anything from any of the Nightmares, probably due to them being part robot, or maybe it came with being a dream monster. Either way, Raven felt they were all down. Unfortunely, with him still acting like a wild animal, BB started running to lord knows where. Raven didn't want to chase him again, and started to go after him. Suddenly she felt something sharp hit her back and she began to become dizzy and light-headed. Raven felt this before; it's what it's like when you get hit by a tranquilizer dart of some sort. And it never fails to send Raven to sleep.

As Raven hit the ground, Nightmare Fredbear smirked while the other Nightmares got up and gathered around him and Raven.

Nightmare Fredbear: What do you know? These things work after all. 😈
Nightmare Bonnie: Uh Fred? We've got a problem!

Nightmare Fredbear looked up to see Raven's werewolf friend running ferociously toward them. He was closing in fast, but Fredbear didn't flinch like his fellow Nightmares. He rised his gun and aimed, before firing four or five rounds into the green beast. BB tripped as he felt the sharp needles hit him and immediately felt weaker. The momentum of BB kept him going before friction caused his now unconscious body to stop, right as he got to Nightmare Fredbear's feet.

Nightmare Fredbear: Good boy. Now stay.
Nightmare Foxy: Shall I rid us of this... thing?
Nightmare Fredbear: NO! No, that'll upset Raven too much. Nightmare only wants Raven's blood, nothing else. Besides, that'll just get you on Nightmare's bad side, and your this close to getting there as it is.

Nightmare Fredbear then picked Raven's body up and carried her in similar fashion when someone had to carry a rolled up blanket or towel.

Nightmare Bonnie: Hey Fred, aight this a little, I dunno, extreme?
Nightmare Chica: She IS a "crime fighter" after all, and I hear she's awful popular.
Nightmare Fredbear: It's Nightmare's will, not our own, you know that. He helped us years ago and we owe him for it. Not to mention we can't go back to being mere plushies, and where else do we go, hmm?
Nightmare Foxy: Your Nightmare's girl, you should know better then us about this.
Nightmare Chica: Why do you think I'm asking?
Nightmare Fredbear: Enough the lot of you! Let's just get this over with and Nightmare wouldn't have to make us do this again for a while.

I didn't want to, but I'm going to have to split this story in 2 parts. Seriously this is over 3500 words like holy macaroni that's a lot more then most. Plus it'll put more stuff in the next part, I think. Feel free to ask me about whatever is going on here, I won't blame you. I've got a weird imagination I can admit that much. I mean, I imagine Ben Drowned as severely depressed because he has some crazy kid's spirit inside him making him the pychopath everyone thinks he is. That and I think him and Zelda are a couple. Go ahead and criticize me for it, I ain't changing it any.

@IrohaNeo, this was pretty much my first fight scene type I ever typed, unless you count the fights I've written about in my Mightyno9 fan-fic. Feel free to tell me how I did for an amateur in storytelling.

Outside of that, I can finally get this chapter over with. I'll probably wait a little while before I start writing the other part. That's when Raven's demon half will be introduced in this book, though it's not the first time for Raven for sure. Hopefully it'll also show off Shadowglade, my OC, and BB as his normal self. Till next page, see ya!🐉
