Raven awoke from her nightmare, with her head throbbing. Her body was aching, and her leotard was covered in sweat. She sighed," Another nightmare?" She glanced out her window, and lightning lit the dark night. Thunder rattled the Tower, and Raven moaned," What a long night..." She rolled over and looked at her alarm clock. 4:55 AM. Her head was beginning to ache lying down in bed for so long, and to her despise, she got up. She decided it'd be best to get up early and start her day. She grabbed a towel and went to her own personal bathroom that Robin had installed for her, seeing as she needed time to meditate for hours, and the bath would be one of the best places to be undisturbed. She dropped her robe and brushed her short violet hair.

She looked in the mirror and dark bags were under her eyes, and for a flash of a second, she could have sworn that her demonic side showed itself. Raven gasped and backed away, grabbing her head. As she looked up, she just looked tired. " I never should have stayed up late reading that book..." She slowly walked towards her bathtub, and filled it with pink bubble bath that smelled like strawberries and lemon. She figured she would need the energy boost. She slowly lowered herself into the warm tub. She sighed and cracked the window a bit, so fresh air could come in, and she grabbed a face towel and placed it over her face to open her pores. She began to chant quietly so she wouldn't wake her friends. The Titans were heroes, but as any teenager, they loved to sleep in. The latest they allowed themselves as heroes was 7:00 AM.

So until then Raven could be alone and enjoy her meditation. Suddenly the alarm went off, nearly giving Raven a heart attack. Raven jumped startled, breaking a perfume bottle with her mental power. "Oh damn." She quickly picked up the glass with her telekinesis. She drained the tub and teleported to her room changing as fast as she could. A knock on her door came after she slipped on her boots, and opened her door, her hair still dripping with soapy water. Robin stood there," Trouble, we gotta go!"

"I know". By the time she got to the living room the other Titans were already assembled.

"What is happening Robin?" Starfire asked as she looked at the large monitor, which had several large red dots flashing throughout the city.

Robin quickly typed codes into the computer, but he couldn't get a lock," I'm not sure, the computer won't let me log on."

"Let me see man," Cyborg hacked and hacked and finally pinpointed the problem. "It was a glitch... looks like someone downloaded a virus..." Everyone turned to BeastBoy who sheepishly smiled," Hey it was an accident. I was trying to download a game last night before bed...and...I guess I downloaded a virus instead."

"Should be all right, just gotta pinpoint the virus and delete it."

Raven rolled her eyes," Are you sure Cyborg? Maybe someone is trying to get our attention, like an outside source trying to peer in the tower, or lower our defenses."

Robin nodded," She's right. We need to find out if it really was just a simple virus or something more." Cyborg was already typing away," I'm on it." After waiting, Cyborg stretched," Nah, nothing to worry about. Just a normal old virus. No outside sources, no signs of hacking, nada."

"Wonderful! May we go back to bed now?" Starfire smiled.

In a split second the alarm went off again, and this time it wasn't the virus. It was an actual attack showing small clips of citizens running, looking frightened. But strangely, no enemy was shown.

Starfire gasped," The whole city is in trouble? Oh what could it be?"

"Is it Slade?" asked Beastboy.

"Could be, Titans Go!" shouted Robin.

Raven and Starfire flew together, scanning the streets for trouble, while Cyborg and Beastboy left in his car, and Robin on his motorcycle.

"Report, what do you see?" Robin asked.

"Starfire and I don't see anything so far..." Raven replied.

"Yeah, same here. Can't see anything wrong. Maybe the computer glitched out? Wouldn't be the first time it happened.

"Uh, dude..." Beastboy pointed at a strange creature chasing people down the streets.

"Aw man, what the heck is that thing?!" Cyborg pulled over," Robin, Rae, Star, we're sending you our co-ordinates, get over here fast!"

"Steering to your location!" Robin did a fast u turn and sped down the street.

Cyborg readied his sonic arm," Yo, leave those people alone!"

Beastboy transformed into a sabor tooth tiger, and roared. Suddenly the strange creature stopped its chase, and turned to look at the two Titans standing there, prepared for battle.

"Easy big guy, we ain't trying to hurt you. We're just trying to get you to stop chasing people." Cyborg slowly lowered his cannon.

The creature growled and menacingly walked towards them, just as Starfire and Raven arrived. Starfire's eyes were glowing green," What is that strange gem on its head?"

"And what kind of creature is that anyway? Do you know Beastboy?" asked Raven.

Beastboy transformed back," No clue, I've never seen that type of animal before...I don't think I can even transform into that thing..."

Robin's engine could be heard behind them," Freeze!" He shouted as he jumped off his bike, readied with his sharpened boomerang bombs.

The creature with a gem stopped, and looked behind it. Raven gasped," Look out!"

Dark energy beams shot out as well as blue lightning streams shone the areas. Creatures that were camouflaged began to shoot more energy bullets at the Titans, who were to busy dodging invisible attacks by creatures they couldn't see. Suddenly the ground below them began to turn to dust as small creatures that resembled scorpions began to emerge. Starfire screamed and began to throw starbolts at them, while Cyborg began punching the slinky creatures. As one collapsed, the gem on its skull popped off, and the creature died.

"Hey try and knock that gem out of their heads!" shouted Cyborg.

Beastboy transformed into a T-Rex and slammed his tail into the never ending army of creatures. Several gems popped out, but more kept coming. Robin slammed his metal pole into a creature as the gem popped out," They don't stop coming! What the hell are these things?!"

"No time to ask questions! Just fight!" Raven shouted as she lifted empty cars and launched them at the oncoming army. A small prick shot up her leg, and she gasped. She kicked the small scorpion creature away from her, its gem easily falling out. Ravens vision was slowly getting blurry," No, I can't pass out, I've got to keep fighting..." She shook her head and launched more cars.

"Raven are you alright?" asked Starfire as she floated in midair, looking down at Raven who was swaying a bit.

"I-I got bit or something... Don't worry about me, just...Starfire look out!" Raven screamed as a flying animal flew into her, this one bigger than the others, seeming to have wings and resembled a spider.

Starfire grunted and groaned as the creature landed on top of her, and its fangs lit up purple as it was preparing to shoot out more energy. Starfire quickly used her eye bolts and splattered the creature.

Beastboy transformed," Dudes, there's too many we got to retreat!"

"We can't! We have to protect the city!"

Raven's world became more blurry and she fell to her knees," Robins right, we can't let the citizens down..."

Cyborg grunted as he punched a larger creature," Raven's hurt Robin, we can't keep fighting here! Call the Titans East, we need serious backup!"

A portal appeared in the sky and more creatures poured out," The portal! We gotta find a way to close it!"

Raven's breathing was becoming raspy," I can try and reverse the portal, and send these things back to where they came from, I can't say it'll work but I'll try." She levitated up, and flew to the strange portal. She chanted as her head pounded away," Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" Her powers were sucked into the portal, and suddenly the waves of creatures was reversing. The ones on the ground began to be vacuumed up, only the Titans weren't moving, only the creatures were. Raven grunted as she struggled to keep the vacuum going," Are they almost gone?"

Robin swatted one away as it suddenly flew up in the air,"Just a little more Raven!"

"You are doing wonderful!" Starfire clapped.

As the portal was widened, the more creatures were sucked in. Suddenly a large creature was being hurdled up, and as Raven was slipping from consciousness, her cape was grabbed by the animal, barely giving her and the Titans enough time to comprehend what was happening. Raven's eyes widened before she fainted, and she saw herself be pulled into the closing portal with the creatures claws tangled in her ripped cape.

"Raven!" they all screamed as Ravens faint yell could be heard, as the bluish portal closed.
