[Raven - Rachel Roth POV]

[Young Justice]

The forest was eerily quiet, and the air cold and heavy. I could feel the magic inside me, swirling and growing stronger with each step I took, preparing in anticipation for what was to come. After so long, this was it. This was the moment I had been waiting for.

I reached the spot I had previously handpicked for this ritual, an opening in the trees that seemed to bask in the darkness of the forest, and with a deep breath, I stepped through. There, I started to chant, my voice echoing in the silence as the magic circle that would summon Klarion started to form.

Once the summoning circle was complete, Klarion appeared in the center, his face twisted in a sneer. "What... where am I? You!? What do you want, little girl?" He asked scornfully, and I could feel the anger radiating off him.

"I want what you took from me," I spoke calmly, my rage flowing out of me like venom.

Klarion laughed mockingly and shook his head. "Awww, poor little swirl. You know there's no way you can do that on your own."

"Meow," His familiar meowed.

"Girl! she knows I meant girl," Klarion replied back in an insulted manner.

"I know I can't do this alone, which is why you're gonna help me," I said, my voice strong and unwavering.

Klarion stopped laughing and stared at me for a moment before starting to laugh even harder. "Oh, did you hear that, Teekl?! I can't... believe it! She actually thinks she can take me!"

"I don't need to take you," I replied coldly as he continued to laugh. "I just need your familiar."

Klarion looked taken aback but still managed a smirk. "You would dare to hurt an innocent kitty?! I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Alright then, little girl, let's humor your tantrum, shall we? Let's see if you have what it takes to get what you want." With that said, he extended his hand out toward me with a glint in his eyes that promised a world of pain.

I held my ground, not faltering in the slightest as I readied myself for battle.

I knew that no matter how prepared I thought I was, I would not come out this unscathed; Klarion was stronger than me, older than me, and more experienced than me. However, at this point, I just didn't care.

All that mattered was seeing this through.

"Azarath metrion zinthos!" I shouted, gathering my magic and launching a powerful blast of energy at him. Unfazed by my attack, Klarion blocked the blast with ease, using a single hand as he retaliated with an even more powerful blast using his other hand, one that I only barely managed to dodge, by teleporting away.

"You really think that will be enough to defeat?" Klarion asked, his smirk growing larger.

"It will," I replied, gathering more magical energy as I prepared for the next attack.

"Well then, let's see it!" Klarion laughed mockingly before launching another blast at me. "Let's see that power you're so proud of! demon girl!"

Using all of my power, tapping into the demonic waves of my father's power, I started clashing with Klarion in a magical struggle between chaos and darkness. Right now, I was standing my ground, keeping up with the chaos lord in what could be described as a stalemate. However, I knew very well that I couldn't keep this up forever.

Sooner or later, one of his attacks would overwhelm me and connect, and then it would be all over. Not only that, I couldn't use my demonic powers for too much time, lest I wanted my father to corrupt me.

I had to end this quickly.

"Hahaha, yes! YES!" Klarion laughed in sadistic glee as he continued to barrage me with blasts of power. "Let's have some fun! Demon girl!"

Blocking his attacks with a few of my own, I readied myself to attack once more. However, I was stopped when a portal opened in front of me, one I knew all too well. The portal of Fate, one made by doctor Kent.

"You really thought we were going to let you fight this battle alone?" Kaldur's voice echoed from the portal.

"Not cool, Raven," Kid Flash added, sticking his head out of the portal as the rest of the team stepped out of the portal.

Klarion looked disappointed for a brief moment before bursting out laughing again. "Would you look at the Teekl, the canopy of forks."

"Meow."

"Cavalry of dorks! They know I meant Cavalry of dorks!" Klarion roared at his familiar.

"You don't have to do this alone," Miss Martian said as she stepped forward, her voice firm and resolute. "We're here for you, Raven."

"Besides, were you really gonna hoard all the fun?" Artemis asked, her eyes twinkling with mischief.

"Tell us what you need, and we'll help," Superboy added, cracking his knuckles as he glared at Klarion.

"Oh well, I guess that's more toys ready for the breaking," Klarion said, still smiling. "Let's have a little fun!"

I hadn't called them; I had no need for them... I wanted to do this on my own, I had to do this on my own, for him, I owe him that much... yet they had shown up, using Dr. Kent to reach me. I wanted to tell them to go away, but... perhaps the help would serve me well.

I was in no position to turn down help.

Klarion laughed maniacally as he saw the team step forward. "Show me what you got! and make it doable!"

"Meow!"

"Double! they know I meant double!" Klarion shouted at his familiar before cackling again.

Taking a deep breath, I looked at the team and telepathically told them. `I need the cat, a few drops of its blood, and I'll bring David back.'

'Got it,' Superboy said before charging towards Teekl at full speed.

Today, David, today I will bring you back, no matter what!
