SEPHIROTH!

Yeah, I really regret never being able to meet Sephiroth in real life... But then again, who's to say he wouldn't slaughter me on sight. Anyways, on to my highly delayed crud. Oh btw, this doesn't follow Final Fantasy info to everything. For example, the creation of Materia, I made that up because it sounded cool. DAMN, I JUST SPOILED SOMETHING FOR YOU! Shutting up now.

"Hey Raven! Come check this out. You're into all that crap about history and uhh... stuff like that. They just found some special rock in the mines." Beastboy yelled in an annoyed tone.
"Why are you telling me this?" Raven asked, the look in her eyes as they met Beastboy's could've made him wet himself.

"Well for one I thought I might be nice." The sarcasm was obvious. "But anyways they just stopped the Animal Planet to announce it... In fact it's on every channel." Beastboy sighed.

That comment caught the attention of Robin, always on the lookout for trouble. The rest of the Titans sat on the couch and Beastboy turned the volume up.

"Archaeologists call it, Black Materia. They say it's a form of space rock that holds special powers. It is currently being held in the Museum of Natural Art in Downtown. One scientist said it could be worth billions if it's what they think it is. No further information is available at this time." The reporter said. She looked thrilled that she was on national TV.

"Black Materia..." Raven mumbled. She stood up and walked to her room without saying anything else.

"I TOLD YOU! I KNEW YOU'D BE INTERESTED!" Beastboy screamed in Raven's general direction.

"Cyborg, you think you could look up some info on Materia? Especially Black Materia. I want to know what we're dealing with here." Robin asked

"Sure, I guess I can check my archives. Something wrong?" Cyborg replied.

"Just Raven's reaction..." Robin said. He then stood up and headed towards his room.

-----

He finally arrived. Standing on a hill overlooking the entire city, he gazed at the Titan's Tower. The perfect site for the Apocalypse. He would find the Black Materia and ultimately become a God of the mortal world.
"This world is soon to be eclipsed." Sephiroth said to himself.

-----

'Where have I heard of Black Materia before!' The question kept running through Raven's head. She paced her room, book in hand, trying to recall why she had heard of Black Materia before. She stopped pacing. "NO!" She screamed as she slammed the book shut and threw it across the room. 'Maybe I should ask Cyborg to look it up. His database should have something.' She thought. She sat on her bed, staring at her wall. She let out a sigh, and then laid down and closed her eyes. 'Maybe if I sleep on it, it will come to me.'

"Yo, Robin! I got something on it." Cyborg said on his com. "It says Materia is crystallized energy. Pure and simple. It can have many forms based on what the energy came from. From the sounds of it, for the Materia to be black it must have had some serious evil issues."

"What do you mean?" Robin inquired.

"I mean human death, on a holocaust level. We're talking millions of deaths at the same time. And not natural deaths. We're talking murders. It's a little on the creepy side." Cyborg replied.

"What could have caused millions of deaths at the same time..." Robin said to himself.

"I'm not sure. The weird thing is, it happened in this general area." Cyborg stated.

"That doesn't make sense..." Robin added.

"The only thing I could think of is that it was moved. But for it to have been buried that deep, it must have been centuries ago." Cyborg said.

"Keep looking. If you find anything else tell me." Robin said and then shut off his com. He began walking down the halls when he thought to himself, 'I wonder where Starfire is...' The thought came so naturally but it startled him when he realized he had thought it. 'OF ALL THINGS FOR ME TO BE THINKING ABOUT! But... I would like to talk to her about now...' He got his com out and began to call Starfire, but thought against it. He had work to do, girls could wait. Maybe...

Starfire was at her favorite place on Earth. The top of Titan's Tower was one of the highest points in the city, and it had the best view. This was a new habit that Robin had got her into. Even though when he did it, it was just him trying to think of a plan to catch the current villain. She loved the sun when it started to set. Her planet didn't have a sunset, or at least one worth watching. She heard the sound of boots behind her.

"Robin!" Starfire said in an excited tone. But when she turned around, she noticed it wasn't Robin. "You are not Robin, who are you? How did you get on this island!" Starfire questioned the stranger. He didn't answer; he just stared at her in what she made out to be disgust.

The man was dressed in all black. Black boots, black jeans, and a black overcoat. He had shoulder pad that made his shoulders appear extremely broad, and his hair was silvery white. The man's eyes were a bright green, brighter than any normal human.

"I am afraid you are trespassing, and must leave now." Starfire stuttered. She was intimidated by the dark figure. She turned on her com. "Friends, there is a man in black on our roof. He doesn't seem to understand what I'm saying to him."

Robin's voice came in, "How did he get up there?"

"He would not answer my exact question" Starfire replied.

"I'll be up in a sec." Robin responded.

The man began to walk towards Starfire.

"Stay back. I am giving you a warning. I will use violence!" Starfire pleaded, but the man kept his pace. Starfire's eyes instantly lit up and her palms became engulfed in energy. "I am not making a joke!" She warned again, but he didn't stop. She unleashed a single shot at the man. He swatted the shot out of the air, and he then stopped. His look of disgust turned to anger. She was amazed that he could just stop her attack like he did.

The man held his hand out, palm facing her, fingers outstretched. Fire began to appear on his fingertips, but he stopped and turned around. Robin had burst through the roof access door.

"Who do you think you are?" Robin yelled at the stranger.

"Robin, be cautious. He has already proven himself strong." Starfire warned.

"Huh? Never mind... Who are you?" Robin shook his head.

The man turned to face Robin but didn't say anything. He had a blank expression on his face.

Robin pulled out his bo-staff and said, "Alright guy, I don't know how you got here, but I want you gone. Now!" The man didn't flinch. "You asked for it!" Robin ran at the man and when he was 10 feet from him leapt into the air, pole ready to pound the man right on the head.

The man lifted both of his hands into the air, looking as though he was holding something up. As Robin's pole was about to hit his target he stopped in mid-air. His pole had struck something, right where the man's hands were. A sword began to materialize from his left hand, growing until it was near 6 or 7 feet long! The look in the man's eyes turned Robin's heart to ice. He slung Robin off of his sword, throwing him through the air like he weighed nothing. Robin landed on his back, hard.

"I want you mortals to leave this building at once. It is mine now, and I won't have you slow my plan down anymore than you already have." The first words to come out of the man's mouth, and they were of complete hate.

"Yo, I know you didn't just say our house was yours!" It was Cyborg

Alright peoples, that's the end of ch1... If I get good reviews, I'll continue. Maybe... If I get bad reviews, I will give up my life as a writer and shoot myself. MY LIFE IS IN YOUR HANDS!
