Wreckage. [Titans]

Meanwhile, Jack was right above Athena, Floating in the air, and, invisible. "'Thena, if this doesn't work out, I may need to step in, and, if absolutely necessary, I may need to unleash 'him'"

It was quiet when the green heroine stepped forth to accept such a challenge. When she had began to speak, the raven-like creature was stunned; Voltor’mak was stunned. Her smirk seemed to vanish for nearly a second, before it returned. Yet no words were exchanged. Lips did not quiver; nostrils did not flare. The Queen remained motionless. Her dress of maroon and black billowed around Ravenstar’s body like a flame. Her head tilted slightly, the mark now twinkling for a brief time, before she clapped her hands together. “Perfect. A request made from what seems to be a leader. You request it,” Her voice grew shallow as her head rolled back to the girl. “So be it.” A single hand fell to her side, as the other remained before her, as if offering the green Titan help. The raven’s eyes flickered their crimson gleam before it’s shadowy feathers ruffled.

The light flickered once, and the ghostly bird screamed, wrapping her wings tightly around the duo like a curtain, its body twisting in the air before all went black. The two were nowhere. Floating still in the air; or what seemed to be. There was no ground; no walls, only the blackness of the raven Voltor’mak’s body. Ravenstar’s body stood stock still, nearly sideways as she glanced at the green teen, her eyes flashing like fire. “No one can enter. No one can leave. Not unless I permit it.” Her teeth seemed clamped tight, yet her lips made out the words. The raven’s powerful spirit seemed to drive its mind into hers, controlling the girl’s every movement, words - everything. Ravenstar seemed stuck within her own thoughts, unable to make herself known. Voltor’mak’s power was too incredible, even for a Vultrixian.

“Shall I make the first move, or shall you?” With liquid movement, the alien was crouched, fists ready and legs spread, feet planted firmly to the ground, With whatever the green Titan would do, the alien was ready.

"You're going to lose either way, for taking over my freind. You lost the moment you harmed Ravenstar." The fur all along her body fluffed up like a frightened cats', the Titan answered quietly as she tried to wrap her brain around the situation at hand, proud that her voice hadn't wavered overly-much. The lack of light was throwing her off, although it didn't seem to impair her vision any - it only messed with her head, weirding out the shifters' equilibrium. She relaxed into her fighters' stance, green eyes flinty - mostly. Some part of her still weakened and worried about hurting Ravenstar, no matter who was in the Vultrixians' body.

Feeling her footing was solid, the Titan moved forward, her body shifting from upright and two legged to four legged and stolidly heavy - in other words, from a peircing-pocketed human to a bristle-furred cougar. Landing on the ground - or that was what she supposed the slightly lighter black shade beneath her paws to be - the femme fatale bared her predators' teeth and snarled challengingly, daring Voltor'mak to make the first move.

'I'm on her turf now, but I bet she'll still play it fair. After all, where's the glory in killing without giving your prey a fighting chance?', thought the shape shifter, tail twitching silently.

There seemed to be a chuckle, and the darkness seemed to grow deeper and deeper. Even Voltor’mak had a difficult time noticing the outlines of the sudden shifter’s change. She was dancing round and round, almost invisible, around the cougar, her laugh echoing left. Right. Up. Down. “Can you see me, little kitty?” She mewed softly, a sarcastic snort rolling from her nostrils as the alien was gone. Somewhere. Anywhere. The body seemed almost impossible to leave. The darkness didn’t seem to ever cease. A sudden blur, and Ravenstar had shot a few bolts of blood-red orbs towards the beast’s paws.

“Dance, little kitty!” Her eyes began to glow, flickering slightly, as the female moved with swift movement, swinging and kicking at the beast. She wasn’t positive of the contact; she was certain a few of the clumps of fur seemed to be coming from the cougar. Nothing else here seemed to have such green, course fur as the green Titan seemed to have. She kept going – it seemed only natural to trick the beast.



ooc;; hahah. i suck at the whole... fighting sequences. xDD

Serenity took her eyes off of the spirit of the child and glanced up at Shift and Ravenstar, this wouldn't turn out well. That much could be seen without foresight. The city here was already a wreck and not much could be done to harm it more.

She was scared for her friend, she hoped that she knew what she was getting into because there were to many decisions to be made and to quickly to see what would happen. "ATHENA, That's not Ravenstar no matter how much it might look like her, that thing is more powerful than she was and you have to try to draw her out." she said attempting to ignore the black wing that was encasing her and Sorina.

The dove was holding up better than she was herself. Ready for action or whatever Serenity said to do. That usually got them out of most problems but this was the end of the world, much different than an angry spirit.[/size]

Rena laughed. This was just too good, the high and mighty act was hilarious, and her laugh wasn't a pleasant one, it was a hurtful one, and continuing, without bothering to show her respect to Ravenstar's beholder she appeared, standing behind Athena, watching the sequence go.

"/Ravenstar, you're an idiot/" she said now in Vultrix, having learned which language was being slung now, through what had been said, it had taken her awhile, and she was clumsy at the language, but it was clear. "/Trying to take a shifter, that even I don't under-estimate/" she said.

[Athena 'Shift' Logan]

Hearing the distant, mostly muted voices of Rena and Serenity - both of which she ignored, focusing more on her cinged fur and bolt-heated paws - Athena snarled and growled in retaliation to Voltor'mak, wherever she was for that split second the teen could make out her figure. The shape shifter didn't ever register Rena's prescense within the black world, so focused was she on the task at hand.

Paws and body dancing backwards, sideways, up and down - anywhere to avoid the stronger than humanly possible kicks and punches, not to mention the powerful, flaring red bolts that left spots in the green cougars' eyes. Deciding she would have more manuverability as something that walked upright - although what direction 'up' was in was anyones' guess - the peirced heroine morphed to her furry teenaged human self, eyes darting this way and that as she scouted for her (most recent) former freind and current enemy.

"Show yourself, Voltor'mak!", Shift demanded, the lull in their fighting giving her burns and bruises time to start hurting as she mangled the alien demoness's name. Athena was almost certian she had gotten some of her own hits in - not as many as her misses, by the way she tallied between the air or blood beneath her claws, but there you were. "Are you a coward, girl - hiding in the darkness, sneaking your attacks from behind my back?"

Voltor’mak was clearly enjoying this slight victory. Inhabiting such a beauty as Ravenstar, with her agile form and her alien intelligence of both Earth and Vultrixia, surely the deceased Queen can take over both worlds like she had done oh so many eons ago. Her laughter echoed through the darkness as she moved around the shapeshifter, her eyes glued onto the humanoid Beastmaster. “Hiding?” She began. “Is that what you humans consider it? Hiding?” She chuckled again, softer. She was son standing behind the girl, her hands aglow in the softest of pinkish-crimson. “Can you not see me? I assumed your eyes were perfect in the everlasting blackness of nothingness.” She chuckled again.

“Such a pretty thing to have to let go, is it not? Having to learn your companion, the only one who understands you, will be lost forever.” Soon enough, her body was low again, almost crab-like in posture. She was smiling, almost playfully, as she watched the green teenager. “Now, fight.”

[Athena 'Shift' Logan]

Athena felt her heart skip a beat as Voltor'mak pointed out, in what seemed to be the most painful way she could, that Ravenstar was gone. Or at least not able to fight back enough to have control over her body. With her heart beating like a drum, the shape shifter grimaced and sneered, face moving from hurt and haunted to angry and determined. 'If she was trying to make me cop out by hurting my feelings, she's really going the wrong way about it.', thought the Titan, as her eyes alightered on the dark haired Ravenstars' body, the soft light from her deadly power-bolts making her easy to spot when she wasn't throwing them. 'Thank whatever god might be out there that she doesn't know what Rena does.'

"I'm not going to lose her, you witch. I'm going to make sure you lose.", growled the Teen Titan, her peircings glinting slightly in the soft, eerie crimson lighting. Shift feighnted to her right side, darting to her left as she morphed and threw her now legless self at Voltor'mak with a hiss, scales rippling as her muscles contracted.

Serenity growled in frustration, she knew that Athena couldn't hear a word that she was saying or would she listen any time soon. "Sorina... no...." she said in frustration as she could see what she was thinking of wouldn't work.

Sorina glanced sideways at Serenity as she said her name. This was very typical of the blond to think of a plan only to dash it as she could see it wouldn't work. "Anything?" she asked finally letting the new spirits really come to mind. There were so many and all of them wanted revenge. Especially the mothers who's children had also been killed.

Serenity shook her head and failed at stopping a tear from sliding down her face, "No, and she won't listen to me either." she muttered helplessly. "But if she makes it out of this I am going to kill her!" she growled in frustration.[/size]
