The Beginning Of The End!

It was getting late on Halloween night, people were starting to go in after getting their fill of trick or treating, which was perfect for what was about to transpire at the Jump City Cemetery. A familiar fog would roll in and within it's confounds an evil unlike this world has ever known. The Hollowman's skeleton like silohoutte visible ever so slightly in the moonlight as the fog began to clear and he stood over his grave staring up at the moon...

"Awwww, where it all began...Again. And this is where it will end for the kin of those who condemned me to death. It is here, that I shall raise my army and reach my ultimate potential. No one will save the citizens of this pitiful society, not even those children."

Hollowman would then gain a gleam in his blood shot eyes, as if he could sense something in the air as he turned his head a full 180 degrees towards his back.

"Voromir, so I see you give aid to the creatures these people call the Teen Titans. It is no use, because no matter what you have told or given them. When the moon is in perfect alignment with the heaven above, the gateway will be opened to hell and I shall receive the devil's kiss. The ultimate darth magic source in all the universe, but until then. I must keep these pest out of my hair."

A Hollowman says this, he turns his body to be in the same direction as his head and walks among the eriee graves. Finding two that seem to be even older than his, one sporting a statue above it and the other with a large metal stake dug into the soil.

"Yessss, you two shall do nicely. Bakshir mala', Narak kus'on, bakshir armalaa, turook VARSOON! Arise Ariel, arise Viron, I call upon you to do my bidding!"

As Hollowman chanted his magic words, the graves would start to rumble. The statue would begin to crack and break off, as it did revealing the woman it was modeled after had actually been encased inside it. While at the same time, the stake inside the grave next to it would zip out and go flying into a tree with a hand popping out moments later.

"YESSsSSs! ARISE!!! I can already feel the power of the full moon flowing through me."

After a bit more chanting, the Dark Magician would spot a common stray dog sniffing about the cemetery, most likely looking for food. The corpse cackling as he raied his hands, which were flowing with a dark red enegry and pointed it at the dog.

"Zatara az nanfara!"

In a flash the dog would be blasted by the dark energy and began to transform, it's whimpering cries turning into ravenous howls. Soon the three creatures would stand before their master and look at him for instruction. The mongrel like animal being obedient and the two others because he raised them from the dead.

"Go forth and find the Titans. Destroy them, wipe them out entirely. As long as they are alive before the eclipse, I am at risk. Now Make Haste!"

After giving the monsters their marching orders, he would watch as each of them either flew or ran off to find the homes of Hollowman's enemies. Meanwhile, his work was not finished; now it was time to prepare his army of the lving dead. As he thought this he would reach into his jack-o-lantern and pull out what looked like a black sparkling powder and dribbled it over all the graves in the cemetery, while muttering an ancient incantation. Soon after, the grave would begin to shake like before and limb would begin to pop out of them; some almost completely decayed and full of maggets. The first to fully arise would crawl out like a new born baby and look at The Hollowman with an affectionate gaze.



"Shh, don't worry my pretty it will be time to feed very soon. As soon as the rest of your kin awaken, you will feast and this city will be mine BWHEHEHEHEEHEHEEHHEEEE!!!"

The Hollowman would bend over as he said this and lift the dead woman's face up with his idnex finger, talking to her softly before cackling aloud.

The clock would strike 11: 30 and Sage and his brother Nightmare could be seen walking amongst the many grave sites of Jump City Cemetery. They found it kind of odd that Will wasn't here yet and had split up the team to search for him and Hollowman. Najm and Jade went one way, and David and JaK went the other. The girls were looking for Psychosis, while the Sage's were following the tamed Werewolf to Hollowman. The dog wa tracking his scent to try to locate the one who created it. Meanwhile, Sage pressed a button on his communicator, sending out a distress signal to all other Titans.

"Hopefully someone answers, were gonna need all the help we can get for this one."

As Matt was about to throw the device out the window and Psychosis responded, Sage would answer Will in walkie talkie fashion.

"Don't worry, were already in the cemetery. We haven't come into contact with Hollowman yet, you just stay alive. Remember the whole city is counting on us, if we fail here...Everyone could die."

The transmission would then end to Matt and Will, due to Sage having more pressing matters to attend to. The Werewolf was seen growling at something up ahead. Some dark shadows could be seen moving towards the the two titans slowly and soon showed themselves to be a horde of zombies. Typical, braindead, flesheating zombies and they were coming for JaK and David.

"You gotta be kidding me, zombies in a graveyard...Should've really saw that coming."

They would then command the wolf to sick the walking dead corpses, while Nightmare started to torch the ones that weren't getting torn apart by the wolf hybrid with blue flames. Meanwhile, JaK placed his hand on a tombstone and became solid granite rock. Pounding his fist into his palm as a few that got away approached them. They had to get through his diversion fast, time was indeed running out!

"Well if that's the case, then were on the same page for once. I assume you know of Hollowman, since he also used to be dead. He's come back to life somehow and once the eclipse hits, he's apparently going to gain the powers of the devil himself; and use it to destroy the city. Grimmy we can't let that happen, if he gets that powerful who knows he could kill someone and bring them back to lfie moments later. Which is bad for both of us...I guess what I'm saying is, you need to help us."

As Sage would speak to Necati, he would still pummel other zombies that Necati didn't destroy, which was just a few stragglers. Nightmare on the other hand had actually got ganged up on before Necati arrived. A group of the walking dead had piled up on top of him and were eating away at his flesh until they got burt to a crisp, David looking with a raised eyebrow at the guy in the halloween costume that had just saved his hide. Meanwhile he was regrowing the areas of torn flesh on his body.

"Aren't you a bit old to be trick-or-treating?"
