The other titans hear the roar, and crash. They run to Beast Boy's room, just to see a giant hand lift Crow 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.
 
“Beast Boy?” Robin asks in shock. He can't se how this… abomination is Beast Boy!
 
Then, Beast Boy lifts Crow to his mouth, and opens it in a roar, “TERRA!” he then slams crow into the roof.
 
“That's BB alright!” Cyborg fires a blast at him, and it hits dead on. The blest doesn't affect him though, and he just swats Cyborg away. “SHIT!” he screams as Starfire catches him, and brings him back to the tower.
 
“Leave…” Crow says, standing up. He's wounded. His left arm is broken and torn open a little, and his left hip is the same. He is covered in blood, and can barely stand. He holds his hip with one bloodstained hand.
 
“Crow…” Raven says, looking at him in sympathy.
 
“Go… NOW!” he screams and knocks her out of the way as the monster punches Crow in the chest, and then with it's other arms slams him down.
 
Crow stands in front of this beast, and just as he raises his arm the beast grabs him from behind in a strangle hold.
 
“ATTACK NOW, CHILD!” The beast screams in its hazy, dark voice.
 
“AZARATH METREON ZINTHI!” Crow screams and the sword flies from Beast Boy's room and into his hands. He cuts the beast's arm off, and breaks free.
 
“RAH!” the beast screams and it's arm and it fade into shadow, combine, and disappear.
 
“CHARGE!” Crow screams. He heals himself, and runs head on at Beast Boy. He lifts the sword, and holds it with 2 hands to his right, running with his head in front of it.
 
He jumps, and slams the sword into Beast Boy's leg, and pulls it down, opening a big flap of skin.
 
Beast Boy screams. He punches into the ground, and a black haze comes up from the crack, and holds crow in a hand made of shadow. It holds Crow, and Beast Boy uses all 4 arms to slam down on it. He breaks Crow's spine slightly, and Crow lies in a crack motionless.
 
Crow looks up, and his vision begins to blur. He gasps for air as his eyes close…
 
Beast Boy grabs him, and throws him onto the island. He jumps down from the tower, and crushes half of Crow's body underfoot. Crow wakes from almost death, and the shock of the crush makes him scream. His scream is horrifyingly pained, and he begins to tear. His eyes cloud with blood and the blood mixes with tear as it runs down his forehead into his eyes.
 
Beast Boy lifts his foot, and watches as Crow heals. The beast reappears and kicks Crow. “Come on! You could have killed him multiple times!” The beast screams at him in anger.
 
“F-fuck you!” the monster growls. The beast looks up in anger. Six tentacles rip out of its back, and grab Beast Boy's limbs.
 
“I gave you this idea. You owe everything to me!” it says, appearing in front of Beast Boy's face. It is starting to look different.
 
“NO!” Beast Boy screams kicking the beast away. He Grabs Crow, who whispers his spell, and turns into a gray bird shaped form. He flies above Beast Boy's head.
 
“AZARATH METREON ZINTHI!” he screams, and he lets out a large blast of gray energy from his hands at Beast Boy. He knocks the abomination down, and it turns back to Beast Boy.
 
Crow falls down, and passes out, like all heroes do in the cool shows right after they win the hardest battle of their lives.
 
As he hits, Beast Boy gets up, and transforms again. He grabs Crow in his hand, and squeezes.
 
“Can't… fight… any… more…” he coughs under the pressure of his opponent's hand. His legs break, and he screams in pain.
 
“Kill Him! The beast says, leaving Beast Boy's head, and standing on the hand. “Listen to me! I'm a part of you!”
 
“He's… NOT!” Crow screams, “He's… Using you!” Crow opens his eyes. “Look into your head! He's not in there! He's outside of your mind! I CAN SEE HIM!” Crow points to the beast.
 
“NO! LISTEN TO ME! KILL HIM! YOU WANT TO!”
 
“No, you don't! Look for that hate in your heart! THERE IS NONE! HE WAS MAKING THAT!”
 
Beast Boy closes his enormous eyes, and looks into his soul. There is no hate for Crow anywhere! The beast is out f his mind! HE CAN KEEP IT OUT!
 
Beast Boy uses his other hand to grab the beast.
 
“What are you doing?!”
 
“STAY OUT!” He screams, clapping 2 hands together, and destroying the beast, keeping it from reentering his mind.
 
Beast Boy changes back, and Crow falls to the ground, passed out. Beast Boy falls and passes out too.
 
“I don't hate him…” Beast Boy says as he closes his eyes.
 
 
----------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------
 
Crow opens his eyes in the hospital room of the tower. The others are gone, and as he can see, Beast Boy went with them. He gets up, and rips out his IV needle. He doesn't need such a thing!
 
He takes his clothes and puts them back on, and leaves to find the others.
 
 
----------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------
 
 
“THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOR CANNOT BE TOLORATED!” Robin screams in the face of a crying Beast Boy.
 
“This isn't the first time this has happened, but you got off the hook because you mutated,” Cyborg adds.
 
“You tried to shucklar our friend. That is very upsetting,” Starfire says.
 
“My boyfriend is lying in that room in CRTITCAL CONDTION!” Raven adds, in anger.
 
“It is my duty as commander of the Teen Titans, after the whole team agrees upon it, that you are hereby banned from the Teen Titans for life, and are never allowed to return to the tower under any circumstance,” Robin says, taking Beast Boy's communicator, and is about to break it as Crow walks into the room.
 
“No… Don't expel him,” Crow says limping in.
 
“But he almost killed you! You should be the one who wants him out the most!” Cyborg says in awe.
 
“AND I should be the one who has the most control over it because I am the victim,” Crow says, “And I say he's innocent.”
 
“Why?” Beast Boy asks, “I disserve this.”
 
“No, you don't.” Crow turns to the other titans. “I can read minds, and before there was a force field disabling me from reading his. Now, I can read it, and I notice the being looked like the beast that our friend became long ago. I also see that the beast claimed to be Beast Boy's sub concuss. First, I saw this `sub concuss' and that is impossible. Also, going through their first encounter, I noticed the `beast' used words Beast Boy can't understand.”
 
“So? I use words he can't understand!” Cyborg says.
 
“But that is impossible for a man's sub concuss to know something the man can't understand! Beast Boy needed what the `beast' said to be simplified to understand it. If he really was his sub concuss, he would understand what he meant, but not know how he would. Also, there are many beings that can send puppets of theirs inside the heads of their victims, if they cannot go themselves. I have experienced this before,” Crow says and Beast Boy smiling.
 
“I have no idea what you said, but I agree!” Beast Boy says, and Robin hands him his communicator back.
 
“Nice, a celebration is required!” Starfire says, running to the kitchen.
 
----------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------
 
“Beast Boy!” Crow says, opening the door to the roof, and running up to his friend, “You're missing your own party!” he looks at Beast Boy sitting on the edge, hanging his feet off, and sits down next to him.
 
“I'm not up for a party,” Beast Boy says sadly.
 
“What's wrong, man?”
 
“It's just…” Beast Boy looks up at the rising sun, “That thing that was inside of me…” He pauses, “Said some true things… I was jealous that I didn't have Terra, and that you were back.”
 
“I wouldn't blame you,” Crow says, patting him on the back, lightly so he won't fall.
 
“But really, what bothers me most, is that there was something inside of me… manipulating…” he sighs, “And the eyes it had… I had the eyes too!”
 
“Beast Boy…” Crow says.
 
“What?”
 
“I'll try to find a way…” Crow starts, “I'll find a way to bring Terra back.”
 
“Thanks, man,” Beast Boy says.
 
“That's what friends are for,” Crow smiles, “And I'm going to find that thing that possessed you, and give him the ol' one, two!” Crow says, standing, and punching the air.
 
“Thanks,” Beast Boy stands up, “We'll kick his ass as friends!” he says, giving Crow a high-five, and walking into the tower for the party.
 
----------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------
 
In the center of the earth, a portal opens, and the silhouette of a man with pointy hair, and 6 tentacles on his back steps out. He looks around, and a shadow returns to his hand. He casts no shadow, for he is shadow.
 
He laughs, looking at Crow and Beast Boy laughing through their shadows.
 
“Oh, you will find me,” the man says in a very deep, hazy dark, scratchy, wheeze of a voice, “But it will be I, who does the ass kicking, Crow!” He laughs manically, and opens his eyes. They are blood red, and glow in his shadow…
 
The End
(*MWAHAHAHA! It was anyway! MWAHAHAHAHAHA! Ah, I'm so evil!)
