Raven turned her back on Raiden as she moved forward, leaving him behind.

"Hey, Wait! How did you even get here?" asked Raiden.

"This realm, it's some messed up place that a witch teleported us into. Do you know anything about it?"

Stopping in her tracks, Raven turned to him and said, "It's not a messed-up realm! It was beautiful and peaceful."

She then mumbled under her breath, "until he came..."

Not failing to hear that, Raiden asked, "Who's he?"

Annoyed at his question, Raven said, "Doesn't matter. Just leave me alone, okay! I don't want you to come near me." She then turned around and started walking away from Raiden.

"Hey, stop being annoying. I just want to help you here!" Raiden walked behind her.

But before she could respond, a voice responded.

"SHE IS HERE! FIND HER!"

Hearing the voice, Raven said, "They are here!" She then ran away inside the labyrinth, trying to lose them.

Seeing this, Raiden chased after her, curious about who that voice belonged to. After a while of running, the owner of the voice was finally found.

It was a four-eyed humanoid with red skin and large black horns. "FOUND YOU."

Then behind the four-eyed humanoid, another five of them showed up.

"Are those? Demons?" Asked Raiden.

"Yes, be careful; they are dangerous," said Raven.

"You suddenly care about me?" mocked Raiden.

"YOU! KILL THE MAN, WE WILL BRING THE GIRL! She is the key," said the Four-eyed Demon.

The demon then launched itself toward Raiden with the other demons. Raiden flew upwards, dodging the attack.

'One hit from them and I'm dead. Medea isn't strong physically,' thought Raiden.

Raiden opened his cape, raining light magic upon the demon that attacked him. Unlike Jinx, however, he didn't just stand there and take it; the demon started dodging. So Raiden followed after him, but the demon's luck was over as the labyrinth wasn't exactly that spacious in its rooms; the demon's body was filled with holes.

'Killing demons shouldn't be a problem, right? Meh, who cares,' thought Raiden.

He then looked at Raven to see her surrounded by the other four. She blasted one with her black magic as a bird shape, but the other one managed to hold her arm, at least for a second; a light blasted the demon's arm away as she was able to swing her dark bird around and cut all of them down.

She then looked at Raiden, who was the one to cut the arm of the demon that caught her, and said, "Thanks."

"No problem. I told you I'm here to help," said Raiden. He then flew down and said, "So... Demons, an unknown entity you refuse to mention, and you are the key... I think there's something you want to tell me."

"It's none of your business. Why do you even care?" said Raven, angered by Raiden.

"I was just attacked by one of the Demons, and now I care. What's up with you anyway? You're being aggressive for no apparent reason here. I'm trying to help you, and you'd be surprised by the kind of help that I can provide," said Raiden.

"Yeah, sure, as if you could defeat an extradimensional demon that destroys worlds," said Raven, mocking Raiden.

"Hmm, if I get the right servant, I'd probably be able to defeat, or at least repel it," answered Raiden, genuinely thinking about his chances.

Seeing Raiden answer her genuinely, Raven got a bit confused. "You really think you can fight such a being?"

"Yeah, why not? I'm pretty strong, you know."

"But the current you—"

"The current me is just one of my transformations! I've got plenty of them. I can at least think of one or two that would defeat such a being," said Raiden.

"You really think so?" asked Raven.

"Well, I can't be exactly sure because you still haven't told me about the being or who those demons were, what is this place, and who you are... really," replied Raiden.

"I guess I can tell you a bit while we try to find an exit," said Raven.

"Long ago, a group of Witches found this Realm... It is called Azarath. They took it as a home to shelter young witches and train them, to stay safe and raise them well. This place... It was a Paradise."

"However, one day, something happened. He attacked. His name was Trigon, and he was destruction incarnate, pure evil. The only thing he knew was how to destroy, kill, and pillage. He brought down the entire dimension under his rule."

Hearing her story, Raiden asked, "Where is he now?"

"Slumbering, as he prepares for his next conquest, your realm, the place you come from... however, he is unable to attack it now, as he doesn't have a gateway to it."

Thinking for a few seconds as they walked, Raiden asked, "How did he attack Azarath then?"

After asking the question, Raiden saw the way Raven reacted; she turned to the right and was visibly annoyed.

"Meh, doesn't matter. Raven, I will protect you and take you back with me to Earth," said Raiden.

"Hah? Why?" said Raven, confused.

"If you stay here, you'll constantly be attacked, right? So I'll take you with me; I'll protect you, not just me, but the others as well!" replied Raiden.

"I'm the key, do you not understand?" said Raven.

"He needs you to attack Earth, right? So what? We'll just repel him, or even better, you just don't let him in," said Raiden.

"It's not that simple."

"Yes, it is. I'll be there with you; I'll help you."

Annoyed by Raiden's constant optimism, Raven said, "Ugh, you don't even understand! Whatever, let's just find a way out of this labyrinth first."

*BOOM*

"Did you hear that? Let's go, Raven."

"AGHHHHH!"

Connor screamed as he punched the four-eyed demon away.

"Etaerc ronnoc snoisulli!" Zatanna exclaimed, as multiple Connors emerged, distracting the four-eyed demons surrounding them.

"Dloc dniw wolb! Dloc dniw wolb! Dloc dniw wolb!" Zatanna chanted, and a cold wind left her hand, freezing one of the four-eyed demons. Connor then smashed him to pieces.

"It's that one! KILL HIM!" screamed one of the demons.

"Connor, blend in with the illusion!" said Zatanna. She added, "TSALB ERIF," and blasted one of the demons away with fire.

Connor hid behind one of his illusions, step by step he snuck up on the last demon, chokeholding him, and the demon was knocked out.

"Let's interrogate this one," said Zatanna.

Before the duo could start the interrogation, a voice was heard. "Zatanna!"

"Robin!" she then looked to his left and saw Rocket. "Rocket! You guys are alright."

"Have you seen Megan?" asked Connor.

"Relax, she's a big girl; she can handle herself," said Rocket.

Then another voice was heard.

"Eyy, looks like half the gang is already here!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice.

"Raiden!!!"

"YO! Had a feeling you all would be okay. Anyways, guys, this is Raven," said Raiden.

Raven looked at them and just slightly raised her hand.

"She's a bit shy, but she's been stuck here. We're going to help her,"

Connor raised his hand as well.

Zatanna shook her hand and said, "Nice to meet you; I'm Zatanna."

"Hi, I'm Robin."

"Name's Rocket. Nice to meet you."

Everyone had a bit of dry introductions.

'Hmmm, Raven needs someone like Megan to open her up.'

(Master, there's less than 6 minutes left before the cooldown starts; please hurry up and find the middle of the labyrinth.)

"Guys, my cooldown is coming up. I have a way out of this labyrinth, but we need to locate the middle of it," said Raiden.

"We can interrogate this demon we caught," said Zatanna.

Connor walked to the demon and slapped him; the demon opened his eyes.

"laever eht noitacol fo ruoy Retsam" said Zatanna, asking the demon to reveal the location of his master.

"AHAHAH, you fool! You think magicks work on us! We are protected by Lord Trigon!" said the demon.

"That so? Then let's see how strong your Master's Magic is," said Raiden. He then pulled out a special knife and placed the tip on the demon's heart. "Rule Breaker!"

"AGHHHHHHHHHHHHH, DAMN YOU, IT BURNS!"

"Go again, Zatanna."

"laever eht noitacol fo ruoy Retsam" said Zatanna.

this time the spell worked immediately, as the Demon started speaking

"Master Aragon is in the labyrinth center. He is waiting for our Lord Trigon's daughter so we can capture her," blurted the demon

"Who is his daughter?" asked Robin.

"This girl, Rachel Roth," pointed the demon at Raven.

Hearing the demon's words, Raven opened her eyes wide as she backed off little by little. She knew that they wouldn't trust her anymore, and she had to escape.

"Damn girl, your father is a demon? Must be rough," said Rocket.

"Are you not afraid of me?" asked Raven.

"Afraid? This guy's DNA father is Lex Luthor; we all got our fair share of problems," said Rocket.

"Even still, how can you ever trust me after hearing that?" said Raven.

"We trust in Raiden's judgment, since he trusts you, we do," said Zatanna.

"Well, not entirely, but that doesn't mean I'll chastise you for being born the daughter of a demon. Your actions are what I'll judge," said Robin.

Raven was shocked as she turned her head to Raiden. Raiden smiled, then winked at her.

Raven blushed, then she said, "I can help locate the center."

She then turned to the demon and used some dark magic that came out of her cape and invaded the demon's mouth.

The demon got up and started walking.

"He will lead us to his master."

Raiden smiled then said, "Alright, cool, let's go beat up some demons."
