Crow wakes, and walks into the main room. The other titans are there, except for Beast Boy.

 

“Hey, where's the Beastie Boy?” Crow asks Robin.

 

“He hasn't gotten out of his room yet,” Cyborg says, “I don't know why he isn't here. Usually he wakes up earlier than us, but this week…” Cyborg goes back to cooking an omelet.

 

“He is usually so very happy, but currently, he has been very snargled off,” Starfire says, and Crow looks at her blankly.

 

“Okie dokie, then,” he walks to raven, and sits down. He plants a kiss on her cheek, and she blushes.

 

“Good morning,” She says to him, looking up from a book.

 

“What are you reading?” Crow says, looking over her shoulder. He somehow got behind the couch in no time at all…

 

“It's a book of ancient sorcerers and warriors,” She says pointing to the current one, “This one seems interesting, but the aging of the book has worn it out. It's hard to read it…” she squints trying to read. “Sh… I made out that much so far…”

 

“Shade…” he whispers to himself.

 

“How could you read that?” She asks, looking closer, “What do you know about him?”

 

“Nothing. You don't want to read that chapter. It's nothing interesting. He was no one. He's locked away in hell, and that's all that matters,” Crow rushes.

 

“Strange, that's two things you won't tell me…” she says, looking at him.

 

“Two things that are completely unrelated. One was what happened yesterday, the other is about someone, who lived MILLIONS of years ago.” He gets up, and walks into the hall.

“… Only a being of this strength can defeat Crow. He can be killed normally, but it takes a lot to do that. His magic can heal himself, and block hits. This should break right through his defenses,” the beast points to a paper. Best Boy sits at his desk, hunched over this paper, studying the monster on it. He must become it.

 

He has been going over his plan in his head all night; he hasn't blinked once. The beast told him everything known about the monster, and everything one can do. He just now finished, but Beast Boy has had the plan for hours. He grins insanely, and looks up into the mirror. His eyes are bloodshot, and bagged. He has red pupils instead of pink.

 

He stands up and pushes the chair into the desk. He circles his arms, and transforms.

 

The beast grins, as the shadow of the monster cover him. His eyes glow a darker red, and his fur darkens too. Beast boy shrinks back, and smiles. He drops back onto his bed, and closes his eyes. The beast sinks into a shadow, and becomes nothing more than a silhouette, which then disappears.

 

An hour later, Crow opens Beast Boy's door. He sits down, cross-legged, and looks at the green human asleep in front of him. He waits for hours, meditating, trying to break into his head. It feels as if a person keeps shoving him out. There is something more than his friend in this being.

 

He must find out what.

 

6:00 pm, Beast boy begins to wake, and Crow stops meditating. Beast Boy opens his eyes, and Crow sees the glow.

 

It is familiar, yet he can't put his finger on what it is from. He sees as Beast Boy looks at him, eyes wide, and bagged. The red eyes bother him.

 

“Get out.” Beast Boy pushes himself up.

 

“What is your problem? Why do I have to leave?” Crow asks, standing.

 

“Our problem…” The beast appears behind Crow, and whispers into his ear, “is you…” it speaks in a different voice. It is a hazy, dark, voice. It sounds like a wheeze, but also like a man who has never seen daylight in years. Its voice is scratchy, and finishes with, “… Crow…”

 

“Who are you… that voice is familiar. I have heard it before… And the way you spoke my name… I know you…” he says sweating, looking at Beast Boy.

 

“Yes. You do. I am the beast; I make the Boy the Beast! We fought yesterday, but Beast Boy was one with me. Jus look in the mirror!” it points to it, and Crow sees the beast. It has the same eyes as Beast Boy. Although, he notices, it casts no shadow…

 

“WHAT are you?” He asks, and Beast Boy screams.

 

“HE'S MINE! I WANT TO DO IT!” The beast lets go, and Beast Boy transforms, into a large monster.

 

The monster is large, and has 4 grotesquely muscular arms. It has a tail, and ware wolf-like legs, and wings as large as its body. Its upper body is enormous, and its hips are 5 feet away from its ribs. Its face is large, and has 2 blood red, fly-like eyes, and a large mouth. All its teeth are incisors, and it has 4 fangs on each jaw.

 

“For Terra!” It roars in his face, and the beast disappears. Crow looks down at his feet, shadow in his eyes.

 

A tear falls from Crow's eyes, and he bears his teeth. He looks at the monster, and screams a battle roar. He reaches into his chest, and pulls out a sword. The sword is solid, not his magic, and shines with energy. He chants Azarath Metreon Zinthi, and what he did to Slade in the first story happens to Beast Boy. Except this time, the defender breaks free with ease, and roars a mighty roar, breaking a hole in the roof, and pulling his opponent out.

 

The other titans hear the roar, and crash. They run to Beast Boy's room, just to see Crow get lifted out.

 

Crow is in the hand of the monster, which is Beast Boy. He can be crushed in an instant, and the others get on the roof.

 

“AZARATH METREON ZINTHO-“ Raven starts, but is interrupted.

 

“NO! IT'S BEAST BOY!” screams Crow, and she stops.

 

 

This is the final battle, and now, only two of the three minds that enter minds may leave. Either Beast Boy and the beast survive, or Crow, and the beast do. Either way, one thin is sure; someone will leave and never return.
