“The coast is clear…” Beast Boy says, returning to his human form from the form of a beetle.

 

“Well, I don't get this…” Cyborg begins, “Why's he pissed at us? What did we do?”

 

“Well,” Crow says, walking beside him, “He is deranged, evil, and a dark murderer of people from before recorded history…”

 

“Oh yeah…” Cyborg says, sinking to the side. He turns his light on, and they continue through the darkness. “If I keep this on, he can't merge with any shadow in front of us…”

 

“Starfire could shine all of the darkness away…” Robin says, sadly.

 

“Would you shut up? You've been saying stuff like that for ten minutes!” Raven snaps at Robin.

 

“Babe, leave him alone.” Crow turns to her, “He suffered a great loss not too long ago…”

 

“Were you like this when you lost Raven?” Beast Boy says to Crow.

 

Crow glares at him, and says nothing. Beast Boy sighs. “I really wish Terra was here…”

 

“Would ya'll shut the fuck up about your losses?” Cyborg says, turning, “You're drivin' me nuts!”

 

They continue on, and see that the staircase to the next floor is blockaded. Shade appears, and steps forward. “I blocked off the stairs. You need to find some other alternative to getting up there… I left you a few ways, but you may not survive long enough.” Shade Smiles, and attacks them.

 

“AZARATH METREON ZINTHOS!” Crow screams with Raven, and the blast him back.

“Heh heh heh…” Shade says, stepping forward. “No more damage than getting sprayed by a strong hose…”

 

“How about this then…” Cyborg asks, blasting him with a sonic cannon.

 

This knocks Shade back ten feet into the wall, where he sinks into the ground. He, in the form of a shadow, guides himself behind the bionic hero, and claws his circuitry.

 

“YO!” Cyborg screams, as Robin knocks him off.

 

“YOU BASTARD!” Robin screams at Shade as he dodges, and lets Robin's attack hit Cyborg.

 

“Watch where you're aiming!” Cyborg says to Robin, standing up dizzily.

 

“Ha ha ha!” Shade laughs, as he is knocked down by Crow and Raven, and then attacked by Beast Boy.

 

“Go on ahead!” Beast Boy screams to the others, “Find an exit!” he turns to Shade, and activates his Dark Matter.

 

“Woah… BB…” Crow says, looking at him.

 

“GO NOW!” he says in a hazy voice as he turns his arm into a sword. “I'll hold him off!” Beast Boy stares into the monster that controlled him with fury.

 

“No…” Raven says, putting her hand on his shoulder. “We won't let you.”

 

Shade laughs. Hysterically. “You think you can kill me with my own power!?!” he starts crying in laughter, “That won't do ANYTHING!”

 

“BB… “ Cyborg says, next to his best friend. “Lets go guys…”

 

“What?!” Raven asks.

 

“He wants to fight alone.” Cybrog says, turning away, and waking. “Crow… This is your battle too. You help him.”

 

“-…” Crow tries to say, and they understand.

 

“You promised him…” Cyborg says. He has never looked so serious before.

 

“Okay…” Crow says, turning to robin, and Robin tosses him two birdarangs combined to make the sword.

 

“Kill him…” Robin says, and they leave Crow and Beast Boy, to go look for an exit.

 

“Ha ha ha…” Shade chuckles. “Bring it on…” he says, drawing his large sword which he holds by the blade.

 

“YAH!” Beast Boy screams, lunging at him. Shade swipes him with his sword's blunt side, cutting his arm off in a razor thin cut.

 

“BB!” Crow screams, and helps his friend up.

 

 

“Are you okay?” He asks, and Beast Boy's arm regenerates. “N-ce answer.”

 

“Stop fooling around and FIGHT!” Beast Boy screams at Crow.

 

Crow takes Robin's sword in hand. “Ach tee no jeas” he chants and the sword glows white.

 

“What's that?!” Beast Boy asks.

 

“Magic Enhancement spell.”

 

“Can you use one on me after we win?” Beast Boy ask him, and he stares at him angrily.

 

“DIE!” Shade screams, swiping them with his sword. Beast Boy attacks him, and they begin to clash.

 

Shade slams Beast Boy in the Stomach, and Beast Boy kicks him in the rib cage. Shade and him slash each other with claws, and bite each other like animals. The tear through each other, but all the while, neither takes damage. Crow jumps onto Shade, and stabs him with the Light Sword. Shade burns, and smoke rises from his wound, as they continue their battle.

 

Beast Boy attacks Shade, and knocks shade down, and Shade stays on the ground, looking up at them.

 

“Had enough?” Beast Boy asks him, and he holds Crow's Sword of Light at Shade's throat (it doesn't damage him, because his Dark Matter is rised just above his wrist).

 

“Yes…” Shade says, smiling, “I've had enough fun, and am ready to begin acting serious…”

 

“What?!” Beast Boy asks, as Shade Appears behind him. Shade smiles, as he begins to power up. He grows two demon horns on his head, and his fingers sharpen a little. His eyes become more sinister, and a small eye-like thing appears on his chest (looks like the “Eye of Sauren”), which glows a sickly orange, which shows wisps of shadow holding it in place. His feet curl at the front, and last, but most important, he grows six tentacles from his back. Four end with sharpened versions of a Sqid's Tentacle, while the other two are only really sharp. They go down his sides in largest to smallest order.

 

“How do you like it?” Shade asks, insanely, drawing a metal rod out of the back of his wrist, which sharpens, and connects at two points, forming a blade going down his arm.

 

Without hesitation, he lunges forward, and begins attacking Beast Boy with a barrage of slashes.

 

Crow jumps at him, but goes straight through. He's powerless…

 

“No…” He says, as Beast Boy is knocked down.

 

“Well, I must tell you of this other technique I have…” Sahde says, “ It's called the `Dark Universe.' I can open portals into my own dimension, which leads inside of myself. Only I can survive in it, and when you enter, you have three minutes until you are merged with me, and I gain any power you have that I don't… Isn't that just rad?” He smiles, and a portal appears below Beast Boy, and he falls in.

 

Crow runs, and fades through any wall until he can get to the others.

 

He runs and doesn't look back as his friend whom he promised he would help defeat this monster is killed by it, and devoured into it's being.
