Hey all! I was watching The End part 2 and thought, 'What if Beast Boy went with Slade instead of Robin?' And so I decided to make a story on what I think would happen. Though it may not be as interesting, there needs to be some fluff, so I think that it would have been better if BB went. Everybody's like 'Ooh, RobRae!' and I don't really like that. Raven sees Robin as an older brother! She likes BB! Robin belongs with Starfire!

Anyways, now that I'm done my ranting, please enjoy my (cracked up?) story~! And comments would be appreciated!

Beast Boy sat on the boat, glaring at the back of Slade's head with a look so angry that, if looks could kill, Slade would have died years ago. But Slade ignored the green boy and directed the boat in the right direction, holding a metal pole. There was a tense air between the two.

"Why did you do it? Was it for the powers? Just to prove how 'evil' you are? Just for the fun of it?" Beast Boy growled angrily.

"Not everything is so cut-and-dry, Beast Boy." Slade said.

"Well, giving the Earth on a silver platter to that nut job seems pretty bad. Especially for your own personal gain." Beast Boy snorted.

"With or without me, there was no stopping this." Slade stated.

Beast Boy rolled his eyes. "Sure, but you helped him, so it's your fault, too, dude. Don't even try to deny it. And you made people suffer because of it."

Slade glanced back. "Well, it's what I do best."

Whispering noises filled the area and both of them stopped their bickering to glance around. Swarms of lava monsters came from around them and Beast Boy got ready to fight. Slade jumped off the boat and onto a rock, kicking one of the lava monsters so it disappeared. Beast Boy transformed to a hawk and flew through three of the monsters daring to attack them. The two of them attacked the creatures made by Trigon, kicking, punching, doing whatever they could to make them disappear.

"Dude!Are they gone yet?" Beast Boy whined as he landed on a rock beside Slade, back-to-back with the villain.

"Only a minor setback. Nothing two 'old friends' can't handle." Slade stated in a dry voice.

Beast Boy rolled his eyes. "Whatever, dude, we're not friends. Not even close. You must be delusional."

The monsters around them attacked, but Slade jumped out of the way and Beast Boy flew off as an eagle. Both of them landed on different rocks, prepared to attack again. One of the monsters grabbed Slade's bo staff, dragging him closer to the boiling lava around him. As an eagle, Beast Boy flew forward and swooped down to push through the creature and land on a rock behind it to change back to his human form. But there were still many there, waiting to attack the two.

They raced forward, running on the rocks and jumping, Slade using his bo staff and Beast Boy using whatever animal he could think of at that moment, which was a wolf, to dispose of the remaining creatures. Both of them kept at the same pace, staying close to each other. Slade grabbed Beast Boy's paws and swung him around to take out the one right in front of them, which soared back into it's own kind, taking out at least half a dozen, if not more.

"This is funner than I expected." Beast Boy muttered to himself as they ran forward again.

When all had been taken care of Beast Boy let out a sigh of relief and waited for Slade to move, but he stood rigid, waiting to see if any more attacked. One remaining came from the lava and charged forward to attack them, and Slade ducked out of the way, but Beast Boy quickly changed into a kangaroo to kick it.

When he changed back he glared at Slade. "Dude, what happened to that deal of ours?"

"Old habits die hard." Slade replied as another one came up from behind him. It shot forward and his mask flew from his face as Beast Boy kicked the creature. Slowly Slade turned and Beast Boy nearly gagged at the sight of a scarred up skeleton. "I'd rather you hadn't seen that." Slade growled, picking up his mask and putting it back on. "It's really only a temporary condition."

"Dude, what exactly are you?" Beast Boy asked.

"Let's just say that I'm currently incomplete." Slade answered, walking forward on their path. "Time is running out, Beast Boy, we must keep moving."

"But, what happened to you? Unless you wanna be on your own, you'll tell me." the green changeling growled. They both glared at each other for a minute.

Slade finally spoke. "It seems my luck with apprentices is most unfortunate. Terra's betrayal should have been my demise... but I got lucky. Someone was looking out for me that day. It was a simple arrangement, actually. Do a few chores, and I get back my flesh and blood. And I must admit, the fringe benefits were most enjoyable." He stopped speaking for a minute as he thought about it, while they walked down the stone pathway. "A pity things didn't work out as planned. The moral of this story; never make a deal with an inter-dimensional demon without a little protection."

Beast Boy stopped his feet. "So you're not down just here for Raven, but for yourself, too."

The masked villain glanced over at him. "A deal's a deal."

Slowly they started moving again, making their way down the path. They walked through the twisting and turning trail for what seemed like forever. It was almost painful for Beast Boy to walk in silence for a whole hour and a half, so he changed into wolf and continued following Slade. As they continued to tread on, Slade stepped on some loose rocks and they crumbled beneath his foot, sending him falling off the trail and down that horribly near straight ledge. Beast Boy followed right behind him. They landed at a crossroads in the path they had been taking.

Slade got up slowly. "You must be overjoyed to see me like this, Beast Boy. Desperate, weak, vulnerable..."

"Truthfully, dude, I really don't care about you. I'm here to get Raven back, remember?" Beast Boy snorted, rolling his eyes. "So which way is it?"

"This is where we part company. You'll find your friend along that path." Slade answered, pointing to his left.

"Where are you headed?" Beast Boy questioned.

The villain turned from the green changeling and started walking away. "What I seek is in a slightly hotter place."

"Soooo, that's all? No backstabbing? No coded threats? That's unlike you, Slade." Beast Boy noted suspiciously.

"I have kept my word, so how about a little gratitude?" Slade replied, stopping.

The green changeling glared as he started turning around to head in the appointed direction. "This changes nothing, just so you know. The next time I see you, dude..."

Slade smirked. "I would expect nothing less."

With that the masked villain left quickly, leaving Beast Boy to quickly pick his way along the path where Raven was said to be. He went through a tunnel like rock, onto a bridge that stood over lava, and got to the other side. There he halted briefly to eye the suspicious looking area. There were several poles that stood tall, made of rock, with fire burning on them and they stood before his destination. A shiver crawled up his spine as he started forward again. The rocks looked like many distorted, screaming faces.

"So creepy." Beast Boy muttered as he walked past two.

After he passed them, they changed into lava monsters that were quick to attack him, though he was ready as he changed into the Beast, slicing clear through the arm of one. The other four poles changed into lava monsters, ready to attack. With a mighty roar, the Beast launched forward, clawing at them and slicing them to bits. It was a quick and easy fight as the Beast changed back into Beast Boy and he continued on. At the end of the path, an ominous looking building stood, the roof gone, but it still stood tall.

"Dude, why does everything have to be creepy?" Beast Boy whined quietly as he shoved open the door and glanced around. "This somehow reminds me of Raven's room..."

The building was an old, broken church. The pews were broken, cracked, and burnt, but somehow the windows managed to stay in tact. Brushing his fears off, Beast Boy strode forward, looking around for anything suspicious.

Beast Boy called out. "Hello? Raven, you here?"

He heard something behind him crunch as a person ran away. Quickly he gave chase, getting closer to the front of the church as he saw a blur of a small white figure running. As he umped over a pile of rubble, the small hooded figure stopped and crouched onto the ground. The green changeling grabbed the white cape and pulled on it. What he saw was shocking.

A child that looked so much like Raven, clad in a white leotard with a gold belt covered red and black gems, having blue eyes and purple hair, with a black and red chakra stone, glanced up at him with fear. "Who... who are you?"
