Four of them were suspended in mid-air by Raven\u2019s telekinetic power, which she also used on herself. She kept all her focus on the book right in front of her, which told the story of a whip-wielding vampire hunter on a quest to slay the evil vampire lord Dracula.

She found herself in what appeared to be some Eastern European village.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was a small hamlet whose only buildings consisted of a church, a general store, a blacksmith&#8217;s workshop, and other small businesses. Creepily enough, Raven recognized this town as Wygol Village from one of her <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Castlevania<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> novels. It was well into nighttime, as the streets were empty and dark. Far above, the stars and moon were concealed behind a cloak of heavy, thick clouds.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, Raven was hardly a stranger to darkness, but she was a stranger to this place. She opened the GPS app on her T-Comm, which turned out to be useless since it couldn\u2019t receive a signal. She then checked the device\u2019s internal clock to see the current date. To her shock, the text on the screen read <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c10\/31\/1842.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhat!? 1842!?

She tried to use the T-Comm\u2019s emergency beacon to contact her friends, only to get no response. Raven immediately shut it off.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">&#8220;Tch! Idiot!&#8221; She scolded herself. &#8220;Of course the Titans can&#8217;t respond. None of them would even be alive this far back in time. Looks like I&#8217;m on my own this time.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">She tried opening magic portals of her own, but those would quickly disappear, as if someone or something was cancelling them out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">Frustrated and running out of options, the young sorceress decided to meditate for a few minutes. Maybe she would get some clues from her future..<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Azarath Metrion Zinthos.&#8221;<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> She chanted. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Azarath Metrion Zinthos.&#8221;<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">In her vision, she saw a massive, gothic cathedral a few miles north. Inside the cathedral was a cavernous sanctuary, with colorful stained glass windows around the perimeter; a golden, chandelier in the shape of a cross; and a large tapestry at the very front of the sanctuary depicting the Virgin Mary cradling a newborn Christ in her arms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">The sanctuary only had one occupant&#8211;a young woman, who was praying silently. The girl had long, black hair that dropped onto her back like a waterfall. She wore a slim, navy blue dress that largely exposed her arms and back, each covered in strange, red tattoos. The mysterious woman rose from her seat and smiled, saying\u2026.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Welcome to the Order of Ecclesia.

The Teen Titan decided to use some air superiority and took flight. As she hovered several feet high, Raven fired more bursts of her soul-self while Shanoa scampered away.

If there was only some way to get past her defenses.&#8221;<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">Instead of pressing her attack, Raven lowered herself back to the floor. She hoped there might be a chance for her and Shanoa to talk this out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cPlease, Shanoa! Just hear me out! I\u2019m not what you think I&#8211;\u201d Raven paused, knowing that was a lie. \u201cOkay, fine. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I am.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> But I swear to you I want nothing to do with Trigon or his stupid prophecy! We don\u2019t have to fight like this! I\u2019m begging you, let\u2019s just talk about this!\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Raven\u2019s pleas fell on deaf ears. All Shanoa was thinking about was her next move. The vampire huntress peeked up and noticed the huge cross-shaped chandelier hanging right over Raven\u2019s position. That gave her an idea. Shanoa cast <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vol Fulgar <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and fired a lightning bolt at the hook keeping the chandelier in place. The heavy metal fixture plummeted to the ground right on top of Raven.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">\u201cShit!\u201d The Teen Titan gasped as she used her magic to stop the falling chandelier before it could smash her. With a loud grunt, she threw the heavy object through a nearby wall of the church. When she turned around, she saw that Shanoa was no longer at her hiding spot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cDamn it! That bitch!\u201d <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Raven thought. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cShe used that chandelier to distract me! Where the hell did she get to!?\u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">Raven cried in pained surprise when a sword pierced her right shoulder from behind! The blade quickly exited her body, and Raven fell over and clutched her wound in pain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">Standing behind her was Shanoa, holding a steel rapier with a blue hilt. Her plan had worked. She finally struck the first blow.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"660\" height=\"372\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qJb4HytL290?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">Shanoa stood ready with her saber, ready to strike at Raven again. The Teen Titan turned around, still keeping her hand on her wound. Though she was hurt, Raven gave an impressed smile.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">\u201cNot bad.\u201d She chuckled. \u201cYou made me let down my guard.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">\u201cAnd now that I\u2019m within striking distance, you\u2019re finished!\u201d Shanoa barked back.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">\u201cIt\u2019s not over yet! You\u2019re not the only one who plays hide and seek!\u201d Raven opened a portal beneath her feet and fell through before closing the portal above her. Shanoa was surprised, but didn\u2019t let that lower her guard. She looked around the room carefully, waiting for Raven to reappear.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Titan opened another portal from behind and attacked Shanoa with a roundhouse kick to the back of the head! As Shanoa kneeled over, Raven warped out again before reappearing and punching Shanoa in the jaw. The cycle continued for several minutes, with Raven opening and closing portals and striking her foe\u2019s limbs, chest, and face. Raven opened one more portal right below Shanoa and emerged with a powerful <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shoryuken<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-like uppercut! The mighty punch sent Shanoa flying several feet in the air backwards. She performed a rolling flip backwards and landed safely on her feet.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">The Wallachian rose to her feet, no worse for wear despite the few bruises she\u2019d received.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">\u201cImpressive. It seems you\u2019re not so defenseless at close range.&#8221; Shanoa said. &#8220;But I\u2019ve survived worse beatings by creatures much more powerful than you! You\u2019ll have to do better than that to defeat me!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">\u201cTrust me, I&#8217;m just getting started, bitch!\u201d Raven spat back.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She levitated some broken stones and pieces of wood and sharpened them into spikes. Raven fired the weaponized rubble at Shanoa, who cast <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scutum <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to summon a tall steel shield to protect her. The makeshift projectiles crumbled harmlessly against the shield, leaving Shanoa unharmed. The Wallachian charged forward, using <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Falcis <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to summon a large scythe to her hands. Raven fired more black beams, only for Shanoa to dodge them with a corkscrew jump.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">The Teen Titan then used her magic to project a wall to hold back Shanoa. The older woman slashed her scythe into the wall over and over to pierce it. Raven did her best to stand firm, but she couldn\u2019t focus due to the stinging stab wound in her shoulder. Shanoa\u2019s strikes caused cracks to form in Raven\u2019s barrier, which only deepened with each hit. Shanoa traded her scythe for a large, iron hammer. With her last swing, she smashed through Raven\u2019s wall and into the Titan herself!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">Raven was smashed several feet backwards through the air! She flew several feet backwards and crashed to the ground. By some miracle, her spine didn&#8217;t snap from the impact, but it still wounded her severely. Raven barely managed to get to her feet, but was too late to stop Shanoa from charging in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">The Wallachian swung widely with her scythe, drawing a long scar acros Raven&#8217;s body. Shanoa then cast\u00a0<em>Ignis\u00a0<\/em>to unleash a ball of fire. The fiery projectile caught onto Raven&#8217;s coat, forcing her to remove it before it burned her. Shanoa ended her combo with a powerful gust of wind using\u00a0<em>Ventus<\/em>. The roaring gale blew Raven and slammed her back-first into the massive wooden door. She hung for a few seconds before hitting the ground with a crashing *THUD.*<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"660\" height=\"372\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0eks-J2AsvI?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><em>Agony.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">That word was nowhere close to what Raven was feeling right now. As powerful as she was as a sorceress, she was still very vulnerable to being hit. The Teen Titan was covered in multiple bleeding bruises and lacerations around her body. Raven&#8217;s chest and back felt like they were on fire. A line of blood ran from her forehead down to her left eye and the edge of her lip. Raven tried to stand back up, but her arms and legs were too weak to support her weight. Her vision was blurred, but she could tell Shanoa was walking towards her to finish her off.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">\u00a0<em>&#8220;Shit! It hurts so much! Everything hurts! This pain is all I can think about!&#8221; <\/em>Raven screamed inside her head. <em>&#8220;Is this it? Is this how I&#8217;m going to die? Kidnapped and murdered two hundred years in the past by some witch who barely knows me? <strong>No! No, no, no, no, no!<\/strong>&#8220;<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Suddenly, Raven began to feel something other than the pain. Not a physical sense, but rather an emotion. Not even a singular emotion, but a wave of different ones all at once. Fear. Rage. Humiliation. Despair.\u00a0 Spite. And finally, all of those emotions coalesced into something much darker. Something much more powerful and primal. Finally, Raven understood what she felt. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Hatred. Pure, absolute hatred.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"color: #c70e0e;\"><strong>&#8220;Shanoa. This is all her fault. This is all because of that&#8211;that<\/strong> <strong>arrogant, self-righteous bitch!<\/strong>&#8220;<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Raven thought as she gave into her hate.\u00a0<span style=\"color: #c70e0e;\"><em><strong>&#8220;I&#8217;ll kill her! I&#8217;ll kill her! I&#8217;LL FUCKING KILL HER!!!&#8221;<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Shanoa stood over Raven with a cold and merciless glare in her eyes. Her target was too weak and battered to even stand. This fight was all but over. All that was left now was to put Raven out of her misery. Shanoa switched her sword for a halberd, a long polearm with a heavy axe blade at the tip. She held the tip of her halberd behind and aimed for Raven&#8217;s neck. One quick downward swing should be enough to sever Raven&#8217;s head from its body.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">&#8220;This is the end for you, demon.&#8221; Shanoa said. &#8220;Your death will ensure that Trigon will never threaten this world. Return to your master in hell!&#8221; The vampire huntress raised her axe upward and prepared to swing!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">But all of a sudden, Shanoa&#8217;s body just&#8211;stopped! She didn&#8217;t stop herself by choice&#8211;she was held in place by a red aura surrounding her body. <em>&#8220;Wh&#8211;what is this!?&#8221;\u00a0<\/em>She thought.\u00a0<em>&#8220;Why can&#8217;t I move!? It&#8217;s as if my whole body has turned to stone.<\/em><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><em>&#8221;\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Shanoa struggled and fought to break herself free, but that only made the binding force stronger. She could feel a dark presence of malevolence radiating from the power.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> The Wallachian looked with shock as Raven found the strength to stand back up. The Titan&#8217;s right hand was pulsing with the same crimson energy that ensnared Shanoa. She looked at Shanoa with a chilling glare of hatred and violence. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Raven was now practically a different person. Her clothes, hair, and even her skin all became dark red just like her magic. She now had a set of four red eyes that glowed like four burning lakes of fire. No longer was she the quiet, rational girl she always was. Now she was a raging, vengeful monster filled with Trigon&#8217;s hatred. In other words, she was now <span style=\"color: #c70e0e;\"><strong>Red Raven.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Raven was still wounded, but she was to angry to feel any pain or weakness. Her only desire now was to kill the woman who caused them! <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">She charged her other hand with her magic and used both to lift Shanoa off the floor. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Shanoa&#8217;s arms and legs were constricted, as if she was bound by an invisible rope. For the first time since this battle started, the vampire huntress was truly afraid. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><em>&#8220;<\/em><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><em>Dear God!

She landed hard on the floor. Her dress was scorched, and her chest burned like it was on fire.

The ghostly wind extinguished every candle in the church, leaving it dark except for the pale glow of moonlight. This is <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">exactly<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> what Raven needed.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">Blind and confused, Shanoa roared, &#8220;Coward! You would dare hide away in darkness!? Show yourself!&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Raven responded&#8211;not with words, but with a maniacal laughter that could be heard several miles away. When her laughter died down, Raven asked, <span style=\"color: #c70e0e;\">\u201c<\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #c70e0e;\"><b>What&#8217;s the matter, afraid of the dark!?\u201d<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Suddenly, the Wallachian felt something like a gang of snakes crawling around her body. All at once the invisible force <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">squeezed <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shanoa&#8217;s body and pulled her to the floor! Unable to break free, Shanoa dropped her sword and was dragged painfully across the floor.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">In front of Shanoa stood Raven, charging her hands with boiling rage. The intense red light hurt, but allowed Shanoa to see what took hold of her body. Three shadowy tentacles sprouted from the floor by her enemy&#8217;s power. Raven continued charging her hands, her rage bathing nearly half the sanctuary in a crimson glow.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"color: #c70e0e;\"><b>&#8220;I&#8217;m going to send you and your pathetic little church to Hell!&#8221;<\/b>\u00a0<\/span>The mad Titan boasted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">&#8220;This isn&#8217;t over yet, hellspawn!&#8221; Shanoa lifted her left arm, which was still free.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Vol Luminatio!&#8221;<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A large sphere of light magic struck Raven in the face, causing her to reel back in pain. The black tentacles released Shanoa&#8217;s body, giving her enough time to fall back. The vampire huntress fled to the darkened half of the church behind her. Raven quickly recovered from the attack, still burning with rage.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"color: #c70e0e;\"><b>&#8220;Damn you! Damn you! Damn you!

Each attack blew a massive hole in every wall of the building like a storm of artillery shells. Shanoa took cover behind a broken pew near the altar. She witnessed her beloved chapel being blown to pieces all around, but kept her focus on the fight.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Something\u2019s gone wrong with Raven\u2019s tactics.&#8221; <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She thought. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;She&#8217;s so consumed by rage that she can no longer think.

Shanoa slid back behind her cover, waiting for her chance to strike.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">Meanwhile, the frustrated Titan focused her magic into a singular beam. She fired her beam from left to right, tearing through every wall of the church like a giant drill. Little did Raven know&#8211;or care&#8211;that she was destroying the pillars and flying buttresses that supported the main ceiling.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">Shanoa yelped and ducked beneath the deadly beam of magic that nearly decapitated her. As she rose, she suddenly felt a violent quaking across the chapel as multiple stones fell from above. The Wallachian looked up and was horrified to see what was happening!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">&#8220;You idiot!&#8221; Shanoa roared to Raven, &#8220;Do you realize what you&#8217;ve done!? You&#8217;ve crippled the church&#8217;s support to the ceiling! This entire building will implode and crush us both!&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"color: #c70e0e;\"><b>&#8220;So be it!&#8221; <\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Red Raven replied. <\/span><span style=\"color: #c70e0e;\"><b>&#8220;If I go down, I\u2019ll take you with me!&#8221; <\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Daughter of Trigon levitated again and fired beam after beam of her magic at Shanoa.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The older woman\u2019s situation was dire. If it wasn&#8217;t Raven&#8217;s barrage threatening to kill her, it was the massive chunks of stone and wood plummeting to the ground. Desperate and running out of options, Shanoa cast two Glyphs: a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scutum <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">shield above her head, and more orbs of light with <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vol Luminatio<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. However, her shots were more to distract Raven than to actually hit her. The constant dodging from falling debris made it impossible to aim.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">Before either woman knew it, their whole fight became a battle of attrition. The crumbling sanctuary exploded into a brilliant light show as red bolts and white orbs streaked across. Each of their shots blew through each wall of the chapel, making its collapse all the more imminent.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">Exhausted and weak, Shanoa tanked two of Raven&#8217;s red bolts. Her body burned painfully, but she still held her ground. This drawn-out fight had taken so much from Shanoa that her projectiles became smaller and weaker. Like the collapsing cathedral, Shanoa couldn&#8217;t keep standing forever.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">Meanwhile, the Raven projected a wall shield that harmlessly reflected several of Shanoa&#8217;s shots away. One of the shots bounced directly into the ceiling! The impact caused a downpour of stone and wood. The mad Titan projected a large dome shield that kept her safe while the Wallachian ran and just barely avoided being crushed! Shanoa knew all too well what just happened.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;She&#8217;s taken out the main vault! That was the last thing supporting the ceiling! Nothing can hold it now! I have to get out of here!&#8221;<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">The panicked Wallachian raced through a large hole on the east wall, dodging several raining rocks and debris along the way. She barely escaped the imploding chapel in time and made it to the grassy, moonlit wilderness. Behind her, the doomed sanctuary spent its final, painful moments as it moaned and shuddered beneath its own weight. Raven was still inside, holding up her crimson shield with all her might against the avalanche of stone and wood.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"color: #c70e0e;\"><b><i>&#8220;I don&#8217;t care what happens!&#8221;<\/i><\/b><\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Raven thought defiantly.<\/span> <span style=\"color: #c70e0e;\"><b><i>&#8220;I&#8217;ll be damned before I let some stupid building crush me!&#8221;<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">Outside, Shanoa could only in sadness as her beloved sanctuary&#8211;the one she&#8217;d spent her childhood alongside her master Barlowe and childhood friend Albus&#8211;be reduced to rubble. A huge cloud of dust and debris rushed out and enveloped Shanoa, who coughed violently as the ashy cloud filled her lungs. Finally, everything went silent. The sanctuary&#8211;the Order of Ecclesia itself&#8211;was destroyed.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"660\" height=\"372\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Kqesm0nJhUc?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">Were this an ordinary time, Shanoa would fall to the ground, mourning the loss of a place that was her home since she was a child.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">However, this wasn&#8217;t an ordinary time. She still had a mission to accomplish. As much as it hurt her, the vampire huntress would not dare allow herself to cry. Not until she finally defeats Raven.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fighting back the tears that pooled in her eyes, the Wallachian slowly walked towards the formless pile of rocks and wood that used to be the church. She cast <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Secare <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to make a blue longsword appear in her right hand. She&#8217;d hoped that the collapsing church would&#8217;ve somehow broken through Raven&#8217;s shield and crushed her&#8230;but she strongly doubted it. As always, Shanoa prepared herself for whatever her foe was holding in store for her.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">Across from Shanoa stood Raven, who was still being protected by her glowing red dome shield. Within moments, the shield vanished, leaving its caster in plain sight. Her blood-red clothes were dotted by several cuts and scratches, and a small trickle of blood spilled out of the right side of her mouth, but none of that concerned her.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"color: #c70e0e;\"><b>&#8220;You irritating little cockroach!&#8221; <\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Raven hissed. <\/span><span style=\"color: #c70e0e;\"><b>&#8220;Not even a falling church can end your pathetic life!&#8221;<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">Shanoa took a small amount of pride with that. &#8220;Not happy to see me, I presume?&#8221; She replied tauntingly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"color: #c70e0e;\"><b style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">&#8220;What are you trying to prove!?&#8221; <\/b><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Raven shouted.<\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #c70e0e;\"><b style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> &#8220;Look around you!

Raven regained her balance and swung at her foe&#8217;s neck, before Shanoa blocked the attack and pushed Raven back. The vampire huntress retaliated with a few quick slashes at Raven&#8217;s torso. The Titan took a few hits, but managed to guard against the rest of Shanoa&#8217;s attacks. Shanoa focused her magic on her left hand and cast <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Confodere<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to equip herself with a second rapier.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">Using both her swords, the Wallachian attacked overwhelmed Raven with many heavy slashes and thrusts. Shanoa swung her two blades down to Raven&#8217;s head, but was blocked by the latter&#8217;s sword, forcing them into a deadlock. Both women pushed against each other with all her strength, but Shanoa was the dominant force. She walked forward, forcing Raven down with each step. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">The Titan needed to act before she loses this tug of war. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">She charged her right hand with magic and fired at Shanoa&#8217;s sword-wielding hand. The searing heat from the blast forced Shanoa to drop her sword, leaving her open to a much bigger beam. The blast sent Shanoa crashing into a crumbled piece of wall behind her.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The attack wasn&#8217;t enough to kill Shanoa, but she was still badly hurt. The Wallachian shifted her head to avoid being impaled by Raven&#8217;s sword and kicked her away<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The vampire huntress then stood and slashed the Titan across her forehead. Raven reeled back in pain as blood poured onto her face, but she continued fighting.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">The two swordswomen battled ferociously, clashing, blocking, and parrying each other&#8217;s blades. However, this long duel was exhausting both of them, and it was only a matter of time until one of them had reached her limit. Unfortunately for Shanoa, she was reaching her limit. She was tired. Very tired. She knew she wouldn&#8217;t have enough magic or stamina to keep this up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It didn&#8217;t take long for Raven to notice. <\/span><span style=\"color: #c70e12;\"><b>&#8220;Awwwww&#8230;&#8230;Getting tired, aren&#8217;t we?&#8221; <\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She said mockingly. There was little Shanoa could do except cry out and step back every time she took a hit from Raven&#8217;s sword. The Teen Titan fired a beam of her soul-self at Shanoa, sending her tumbling across the ground. To make matters worse, she&#8217;d lost hold of her weapon mid-flight. The Wallachian could barely stand up, let alone fight anymore. At this point, it was only a matter of time before she lost.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;I can&#8217;t let it end this way!&#8221; <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shanoa thought in desperation.<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8220;Th-there has to be one last option&#8211;some Glyph I haven&#8217;t used that can turn all this arou&#8211;&#8221; <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Her next thought made her pause in terror.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Not that Glyph!

You stupid numpty!<\/span><br \/>\n<b><\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Louis: I already said I&#8217;m sorry for that!

So shut the fuck up!<\/span><br \/>\n<b><\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Mage:\u00a0<em>(Sighs)<\/em> Even so, this battle still ended with both Raven and Shanoa dying, just like before. I just know we&#8217;re gonna get lambasted in the comments section.<\/span><br \/>\n<b><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Louis: It wasn&#8217;t all bad the last time. And besides, we still have the Epilogue to tie it all together. So, let&#8217;s just explain once again why this battle ended the way it did. Truth be told, this battle wasn&#8217;t an easy one to decide, even after six years since we first finished it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Edward: Raven and Shanoa\u00a0 have surprisingly many things in common: they&#8217;re extremely powerful mages known for using creative strategies and adapt to most situations..<\/span><br \/>\n<b><\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Louis: Raven&#8217;s soul-self power was far more powerful than Shanoa&#8217;s Glyphs, but the way she used them pretty much limited them to projecting shields, throwing large objexts, and making solid constructs like Green Lantern. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Edward: On the other hand, Shanoa&#8217;s Glyphs were far more versatile, giving her access to weapons like swords, axes, bows, lances, et cetera. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Because of this, Shanoa was able to counter whatever Raven could dish out. However, with great power comes great flaws, and these two were certainly no exception.<\/span><br \/>\n<b><\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Louis: True, very true.<i>\u00a0<\/i>First of all, both women are glass cannons: they can definitely dish out punishment, but they&#8217;re not so good at receiving it. Each one could only take so many hits until either one goes down for good.<\/span><br \/>\n<b><\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Edward: Not only that, but each has their own share of personal weaknesses too. As for Raven, she&#8217;s a heavily defensive fighter. She prefers to keep her opponent at a distance or outsmarting them using her flight, telekinesis, or teleportation. But this means that she&#8217;s in big trouble when she has to fight up close, as her martial arts skills are well&#8230;lacking.<\/span><br \/>\n<b><\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Louis: Shanoa has the opposite problem. She&#8217;s all about offense&#8211;charging in sword swinging like &#8220;LEEROOOOY JEEEEENKIIIIINS!&#8221;. While she does have long-range magic Glyphs as well, she tends to use them only when she&#8217;s not in a good position to shove a sword up her enemy&#8217;s ass.\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<b><\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Edward: And now we come to the two&#8217;s most critical flaws. For Raven, it was the rage-induced insanity brought onto her by her Red Raven form. In the first half of this battle, Raven was in control of her emotions, allowing her to think strategically. However, she was eventually overwhelmed when Shanoa got in close to her. The sheer hatred and fury Raven felt at that point allowed her to turn into Red Raven, thus becoming a lot like her father&#8211;a raging, bloodthirsty monster. She became twice as powerful, but lost her ability to think calmly, leaving herself open to counterattacks.<\/span><br \/>\n<b><\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Louis: And as for Shanoa, her biggest weaknesses were her three <i>Dominus\u00a0<\/i>Glyphs. Conceived by Dracula&#8217;s dark power, The\u00a0<i>Dominus\u00a0<\/i>Glyphs take away the life force of whoever uses them, which is why Shanoa only uses them as a last resort. In the last climax of this fight, Raven had pushed Shanoa into a corner. In a last-ditch effort, Shanoa cast her <i>Dominus\u00a0<\/i>Glyphs, which gave her the power she needed to put down Raven for good. However, using them took away Shanoa&#8217;s life as well, ending the battle for both of them. Ironically, Shanoa&#8217;s greatest power was ultimately her greatest weakness.<\/span><br \/>\n<b><\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Edward: Oh, and what about Raven&#8217;s White form? She only gets into that state very rarely, and usually happens only when she becomes free from her father&#8217;s influence on her mind. Rather hard to do that in the middle of a fight, especially when she&#8217;s already consumed by rage. So&#8230;&#8230;with all that said, who should we declare the winner?<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">(Louis and Edward take a few minutes to deliberate.)<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Edward: Well, the last time we ended this in a tie.

Both women gave it their all and fought spectacularly. Even though it cost her life, Shanoa proved that even Titans can be toppled.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">.<\/strong><strong>THE WINNER, JUST <em>BARELY<\/em>&#8230;.<br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1569\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/arkhamdeathbattle.com\/?attachment_id=1569\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/arkhamdeathbattle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Shanoa-3.jpg?fit=2560%2C1440&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2560,1440\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Shanoa #3\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/arkhamdeathbattle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Shanoa-3.jpg?fit=660%2C371&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1569\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/arkhamdeathbattle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Shanoa-3.jpg?resize=584%2C329&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"584\" height=\"329\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/arkhamdeathbattle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Shanoa-3.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/arkhamdeathbattle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Shanoa-3.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/arkhamdeathbattle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Shanoa-3.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/arkhamdeathbattle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Shanoa-3.jpg?resize=1536%2C864&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/arkhamdeathbattle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Shanoa-3.jpg?resize=2048%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/arkhamdeathbattle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Shanoa-3.jpg?resize=1200%2C675&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/arkhamdeathbattle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Shanoa-3.jpg?resize=484%2C272&amp;ssl=1 484w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/arkhamdeathbattle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Shanoa-3.jpg?w=1320&amp;ssl=1 1320w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/arkhamdeathbattle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Shanoa-3.jpg?w=1980&amp;ssl=1 1980w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><strong style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">&#8230;.IS SHANOA.<\/strong><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Raven (Loser):<\/strong><\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>* Soul-self was more powerful, but less versatile (+\/-)<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>* Defensive fighting allowed for tactical and creative thought.(+)<br \/>\n* Powerful at long range (+)<br \/>\n* Weaker when fighting up close.
