It was an ordinary day in Jump City...until the sky tore open.
People ran in panic, not wanting to be near whatever came out of the hole in the sky. They ran even faster when the green dragon came in for a landing. It was massive, with a fierce expression on its face...and a glowing black gemstone embeded in its forehead. As it landed, the sky rip closed, and it roared its challenge. Glancing over, it saw an empty building, and casually knocked it over like it was nothing.
The aarm went ff at the Tower, and the Titans headed out. Raven flinched back from the beast, at first mistaking it for Malchior, since she felt Malchior's magic around it. Then the creature turned on the Titans.
"So," he spoke. "The heroes arrive. About time. Your response time is rather slow. I've already demolished three city blocks. I think you all need more training."
"Titans," Robin shouted, "GO!" He leaped to the attack, throwing freeze disks, but the dragon easily evaded them and knocked him aside.
"Fool. You rush in recklessly, without stopping to check your opponents movements, and you play your ace to soon." It opened its mouth and exhaled a frigid blast, freezing Robin to the building he impacted against.
"ROBIN!" Starfire flew towards him, intent on breaking him free, but was knocked out of the sky by a smack of the dragon's wing.
"Eyes on your opponent, Princess. Your powers do you no good if you do not use them properly."
Raven tried to come to her friends' defense, but the dragon seized her in a claw. "Not so fast. I have other plans for you." The dragon exhaled, and sand flew by her on the breeze, and the breath carried the scent of rose petals.
"A sleep...spell..." She wasn't able to say anymore before she lost conciousness.
Beast Boy and Cyborg charged in, trying to save her, but the dragon turned quickly, knocking them aside with his tail.
"Hear this, Titans. I am Carrion, and she is mine now." The dragon spread his wings and took flight, vanishing as he cast an invisibility spell upon himself.
"Raven..." Beast Boy sounded broken. "RAVEN!"
