"Ross' Demon Detector went off," you say, "because Raven is part demon."

"Whoa..." they both say. "Really...?"

"Yes," you say. "It's a long story, but I've been thinking about how the timing of events line up. Do you remember about a year ago, during the late Winter or early Spring, those days you two sensed strange uses of magic and such?"

"I think so," Roselind says. "You mean those days in February and March?"

"Yes, that's when!" you say. "You were talking about sensing massive amounts of energy, on a level of world tier magic."

"Wait, what?" Raven asks. "They're capable of magic detection?"

"Yes, when they work together as amplifiers," you say.

"Yes, we felt a large scale time displacement spell the fifth of February that year," Rebecca adds. "We made a note of it because we were always curious as to who used it."

"February 5th is my birthday," Raven says. "And I did use a large scale time spell, though not necessarily on purpose. Are you saying you sensed all that?"

"Yes," your sisters both say.

"But time magic normally isn't detectable, because of how it freezes time," she says.

"Well, our sense of magic is just that good," Rebecca says proudly.

"Though I wish it didn't present itself as a flavor in our mouth," Roselind says. "That time magic tasted like cheese with coconut."

"And then a few weeks after that," you say. "You two had that day where you were tasting something weird."

"Yes!" they both say.

"Our mouths were so dry," Rebecca says.

"And there was something bitter," Roselind says. "Like, like lemons and sage, with maybe blood from like when you cut your lip or scratch the roof of your mouth."

"Wait, are you telling me your sisters sensed when my father turned the world into his own version of Hell?" Raven says. "That's insane."

"But it's true," you say. "And Ross, your teachers, they investigated these things, did they not?"

"They did," Ross says. "And they found traces of something very powerful, but that doesn't prove anything."

"It proves Raven and the Titans defeated a powerful demon, her own father, and saved all of humanity," you say. "How is she anything but a hero?"

"Alright, I get it," Ross says. "We have nothing to worry about, or so you say. But we are sharing this with our parents, especially yours. They deserve to know."

"I don't think we should," Raven says.

"Well of course you don't think so," Ross says. "You don't want them assuming the worst."

"I'm not trying to protect myself," Raven says, "there's just no need for them to know. It doesn't change who I am, or how Rorek and I feel about each other."

A) Agree with Raven, this remains the grandchildren's secret
B) Agree with Ross, at least let your parents know

"Raven is right," you say. "It does nothing for anyone to share this. We're keeping it a secret."

"Rorek," Ross protests, "we can't--"

"We can, and we will," you say. "You may have been in charge when we were kids and running around playing games. But we're not kids anymore. I'm Rorek VII, I'm in charge, and I say we're keeping it a secret."

Ross, Reed, and even your sisters, look at you with forms of surprise, with Ross being the most stern.

"So you finally use that authority, huh?" Ross says. "Finally playing the Rorek card."

"I don't like it any better than you do," you say. "But it's how this is going to go. Unless you insist on pushing the issue."

Ross clenches his jaw, then huffs air through his nose.

"Fine, have it your way," he says.

The quiet tension is strong as everyone else looks at you and Ross while you stare down. At this time, Penelope wheels in the lunch cart.

"Carter, finish setting the table," she says.

"R-Right," he says as he snaps to attention.

The Wilmarths finish setting the table and Penelope sets out the platters.

"Ah, good, we're all here now," grandfather Sixth says. "Let's eat!"

"Now, now, dear," grandmother Ruth says with a chuckle. "Everyone needs to take their seats."

Everyone sits, with Ross and Reed joining Uncle Roger and Aunt Rita on one end, while your father and mother are on the other end. Your sisters sit next to Raven, who is on your left, and your grandparents are across from you, Sixth on your right.

"So, let me see if I've got this right," grandmother Ruth says as she leans across the table towards Raven. "You live in California, but you were born and raised in a monastery that took in your mother?"

"Yes," Raven says. "So I don't exactly have a lineage, but I do have training."

"Well, more than I do, love," Ruth smiles.

"That's right," Raven says. "Rorek, er, Rorek VII, told me these great family stories. You two met during World War II, while Rorek VI was healing."

"Yes, I was the one nurse who would tell the fool to stay in bed and eat what he was given," Ruth says. "All the other nurses were too 'taken in by his charm' that they'd let him do as he pleased."

"Which I think was part of her charm," Seventh says with a grin.

Everyone has a little laugh at that.

"Speaking of which," Sixth says, "are you going to let us eat now?"

"Yes, fine," Ruth says while everyone else has a chuckle. "And you wonder why you had to go on that diet."

"You had to go on a diet?" you say to Sixth.

"So I gained a few pounds," he shrugs. "I don't get as much exercise anymore, on a count of my age, but it wasn't even that bad, really."

Penelope helps serve everyone one of the triangular half-sandwiches.

*bzz bzz* Someone's phone vibrates.

"That would be mine," Carter says as your father and uncle check theirs. "Just a moment, sirs and madams."

He goes off to the corner to check.

"Oh, it's from father," he says. "He's spotted some cars pulling up to the front gate, and has confirmed it's the other families."

"Is it noon already?" Raven asks with a bit of a sneer.

"Shall we greet them up front or have them come around to the back?" Carter asks.

A) Greet them up front
B) Have them come here

"I suppose we should greet them at the door," you say. "Otherwise, Renee might pout, and the Robertas will end up arguing with each other over something."

You stand up, with your father and mother, but Raven also follows.

"Raven, you don't have to meet them with us," your mother says to her.

"No, I think I do," Raven says. "They think they're entitled to Rorek, but they're not. And I'm going to make sure that gets through to each and every one of them."

"Well, alright then," your mother says.

Raven holds her head high as she walks out of the room slightly ahead of you and your parents.

"I like her," Grandma Ruth says a few moments after you enter the hall, which causes everyone-- including you--to snort in laughter.

You, your parents and Raven walk all the way to the front door, where you meet Nadine and Bret. Your father nods to them and they nod back before opening the doors. On the other side, already chattering, are the 20 suitresses of the families. They notice the doors open, and then notice you, and all rush inside as they squeal and laugh.

"Whoa! Whoa!" your father says as they almost bowl you four over. "Everyone, settle down. You'll all get to say hello to Rorek, just be patient."

The suitresses obey and line up in front of you and Raven. Bret walks over to make formal introductions.

"Riva Orville of Cardiff, Wales."

The demure and petite brunette walks up in lacey dress that goes all the way to her shins. She sheepishly smiles and curtsies, but is even shyer when she looks at Raven.

"Don't worry, Riva," you say. "She won't hurt you."

Riva relaxes a bit, and shakes Raven's hand, then moves on with her parents and their attendants.

"Rhea Vand, of Copenhagen, Denmark."

Rhea shakes her wavy hair as she walks up to you in her light blue dress.

"Hi, Rory," Rhea says in her airy Danish accent. "How haff you ben?"

"Very well, thank you," you say as she shakes your hand. "Rhea, this is Raven."

"Hi," Raven says.

"Oh... Hello," Rhea says, a bit reluctant and confused. "Umm... And you are...?"

"I'm 'Rory's' girlfriend," Raven says with a smug smile.

"Gilfrend?!" Rhea blurts.

"Che cosa?" Regina, next in line, asks in her native Italian. "Cosa ha detto? Girlfriend?"

"Girlfriend?" Ramona repeats. "Whose girlfriend?"

"Girlfriend?" the others start echoing down the line. "Girlfriend?!"

"Petite amie?!" the French duo of Renee and Roxanne say.

"Qu'est-ce que cela veut dire?! (What is the meaning of this?!)" Renee asks as she steps out of line.

"Ms. Dubois, please stay in line," Bret says.

"Ne me dis pas quoi faire! (Don't tell me what to do!)" she snaps at him before storming up to the front, causing her ponytail to swish back and forth. "Who iz Rory's girlfriend? Hm? Who?!"

"Me," Raven says as she takes a step forward.

"Yu?" Renee says. "Yu cross between Wednesday Addams and a... What is ze word? Heepstir."

"Hipster?" Raven says, glaring at Renee; then she turns her head to look at you and say, "Hipster?"

"Here goes..." you sigh.

"I am NOT a hipster," Raven says as she slowly turns her head to look back at Renee. "You paste white, stuck up French Barbie BI--"

"Eh to..." someone just walking in the front door says. "Amu I late?"

All the young women in line, their parents, your parents, Bret, Raven and you look over at the source of the voice. It is a teenage Japanese girl with dyed-orange hair, white button-up, plaid skirt and matching tie.

"Rumiko?!" you blurt.

"Rumiko?" Raven asks you. "You never told me about Rumiko."

"I didn't know she was going to show up!" you say in a panic.

"Oh, yes," Bret says, "here she is on the list. Rumiko Hanamori, of Tokyo, Japan."

"Rory-kun!" Rumiko squeals as she runs towards the front. "It'su been so long~!"

Rumiko takes your hand, beaming with a huge smile.

"Hands off," Raven says as she separates you two. "He's mine."

"Huh?" Rumiko says. "Whato you mean, he izu yours?"

"Raven, wait--"

"Just like I was explaining to all of them," Raven says. "I'm his girlfriend. So you came all this way for nothing."

"Oh no..." you say.

"So...desu ka?!" Rumiko says, flying into a rage.

"Whoa," Raven says as Rumiko starts hissing. "Where'd that come from?!"

"Rumiko is first daughter of the Snake Temple's head family," you quickly whisper to Raven. "The very temple my ancestor made contact with, that I visited to learn Eastern magic. Rumiko grew a bit attached to me..."

"No duh!" Raven whispers back.

"Now, now, everyone," your mother says. "Let's all calm down. We were just settling down for brunch, if you'd like to join us."

The various families, which now includes Rumiko's parents for a total of 21, all seem to accept your mother's offer, even fi they're all a bit upset.

"Well, as far as the parents," she says, "why don't we all go to the main dining hall? The children can keep the veranda."

"Very good, Lady Rachel," Nadine says. "I'll fetch the children to help."

"Meanwhile, all butlers and maids, please follow me," Bret says. "We can sort out rooms in the guest area."

Everyone goes their ways, as decided. Which leaves you and Raven to lead the suitresses to the veranda. As you walk, Raven walks close to you, wrapping your arm in hers. She glances back to smirk at the others, and they glare back. You gulp from the anxiety building inside you.

"Guess what, everyone?" you say to your sisters and cousins as you return. "They're joining us for brunch."

You and Raven make it back to your seats while the 21 other young women flood in and snip at each other over seating arrangements.

"Wonderful," your sisters say together as things quickly grow crowded.

"Sandwiches?" Renee says. "Iz this zome kind of deli we are eating at?"

Roxanne snickers along with Renee as they sit together.

"Sorry if you don't want to mess up those pretty little fingernails of yours," Raven sneers as she picks up a sandwich. "Maybe we can get you a fork and knife to eat these with?"

Renee and Roxanne sneer back while Raven takes a delicate and clean bite.

Everyone, even Roxanne and Renee, go along with the food choice, taking a half-sandwich for themselves, as well as a glass of lemonade as prepared by Penelope.

"So, um, I'll finish those introductions," you saw a bit awkwardly. "Raven, you've already met Rumiko and Renee up close. Next to Renee is Roxanne Zoza. Both are from Paris, but their families essentially run different parts of France. The Zoza Family work in the Southeast, near Marseille, while the Dubois Family has the Northwest, closer to Le Mans and Rennes.

"Regina Bellatino of Milan, Italy," you say as you motion to the young woman in red with hoop earings. "She and her family use their Alchemy to make top of the line fashion and jewelry at low cost to them."

"But still sold at standard market price," Regina smiles. "Molto redditizio. (Very profitable.)"

"So her family runs a scam?" Raven whispers to you.

Your sisters contain their laughter.

"Ramona Sullivan of Leeds, England," you continue in reference to the shoulder length brunette. "The Sullivans use Enchantments to make more durable windshields for vehicles.

"Rhiannon Reynolds of Belfast, Northern Ireland," you say as you motion to the young woman with wavy auburn hair. "The Reynolds Family owns their own brewery and a pub where they prominently feature their blends.

"Regan Jones, of Birmingham, England," you say for the blonde with bells in her braids. "Her family have recently moved into sound proofing design thanks to their family's Sound magic, but they've also been good with tuning technology, such as tuning forks and electrical tuners.

"Rolanda Dylan of Liverpool, England," you say to the young woman with a stuffed animal tucked under her arm. "The Dylan Family make various stuffed animals, as well as figurines and statuettes."

"Don't forget to introduce Herbert," she says as she holds up the teddy bear.

"Yes, Herbert," you say. "Her favorite of all her stuffed animals."

"Uh-huh..." Raven nods with a leery look on her face.

"Rayna Dvorak of Moscow, Russia," you say. "Her great grandparents made quite the living as magicians and artists, but nowadays, the Dvorak Family make films."

"Wery popular in Russia," Rayna smiles. "But perhaps things do not translate vell into other countries."

"The Robertas, Rhodes in the green and Rivers in the blue," you say. "The Rhodes Family work with precious gems, while the Rivers Family are in cruises and camping."

"Ha, I went first," Rhodes smirks.

"But the best is saved for last," Rivers counters.

"Then that makes me tha best of all," Ruby says with a grin. "And Ah'll introduce mahself, Rory, if you don't mind."

"Not at all," you say.

"Ah'm Ruby Danforth of Glasgow, Scotland," Ruby says as she stands up. "My family works in animal husbandry, livestock, and even veterinary medicine."

"Seems Raquel, Remelia, Rhonda, Ria, Riley, Rona, Rosario and Rowena of the non-magical families will likely arrive later today or even tomorrow," you say. "We can meet them as we're socializing with dinners and lunches."

"Our brothers are on the way, too," Ramona says. "They'll be... happy to see you again."

"Wonderful," you say a bit lackluster. "Can't wait."

You sip your lemonade, then take a bite of your sandwich.

"Who has brothers?" Raven asks the table.

Renee, Roxanne, both Robertas, Rayna, Ramona, Regina, Rhea and Riva raise their hands.

"Wow," she says. "And do the Robertas' brothers have matching names, too?"

She chuckles and smiles at her joke, but aside from your smirk, no one else really responds.

"This is probably why Beast Boy is the comic relief," Raven says with some embarrassment.

"Enough of zis," Renee says as she throws her napkin down in a huff. "Rorek, do you really zink that we will accept zis outzider? Zis no name? Zis... Zis..."

"Zis commoner!" Roxanne adds.

"Yes! Zis commoner! Look at how common she iz!"

"Oh pipe down, ya prissy pony," Ruby says. "There's nothin' won calling this girl names."

"Well said, Ruby," you say.

"But," Ruby continues. "The one point she's got right is that we won't accept losin'. If Raven wants to keep ya, she'll have ta fight fer ya."

"I was waiting for this," Raven smirks. "Who's first?"

"I am!" almost all of the suitresses shout.

"No no no, I am first!" Renee says.

"I want to be first!" Roxanne says.

"I'm first!" the Robertas both say. "Stop copying me!"

"Hold on, hold on," you say above the din. "You're not going to duel each other now. We're still eating."

"Then when?!" the suitresses, and even Raven, ask.

"Well obviously after this meal," you say. "We'll sort things out and have the first duel...

A) An hour later
B) Once the brothers and other families arrive

"An hour later. That'll give everyone plenty of time to prepare themselves, and to let our parents all know about it."

"Fine," Renee says. "But I will be ze first to challenge zis American girl."

"No you von't," Rayna says. "I vill."

"You?" Roxanne says. "You and your smoke and mirrors? Hah! Zose are no match for Renee's Arcana, nor my Disorientation."

"Worry about who challenges who later," you grumble. "Everyone finish eating first."

The suitresses grumble at each other, then go back to eating. While they're hurrying themselves up, they are careful to be neat and ladylike about it.

"Done!" Raven says as she finishes wiping her mouth. "I get extra time to prepare now!"

"Only becuz you stuffed your face!" Renee shouts before going back to chewing her sandwich.

All you can do is sigh as Rumiko curses in Japanese while also eating as fast as she can. Rumiko is second to head out after Raven, then the Robertas, then the others eventually follow. The hour officially starts with Riva shyly following Rolanda.

[cut to Raven]

Raven makes it to her room first, and the other suitresses have to waste time finding their names on the doors.

"No fair!" Rhiannon pouts. "How did she get the first room?"

"Because I traveled here with Rorek, obviously," Raven retorts. "And that's totally fair, because I'm his girlfriend. So suck it!"

Raven slams her door closed and proudly smiles her way to her bed. She notices Slithersby and Domo-kun have already been set on the bed, and puts it together that Nadine and Ginnie set those out for her.

*knock knock* Two knocks at the same time? Raven walks back over and opens the door, to find it's Roselind and Rebecca.

"Hello," they say together.

"Oh," she says. "Hey. What're you two doing here?"

"We're here to help you!" they both say, with a thumbs-up each.

"Oh," Raven says as she steps aside to let them in. "That's great, I could use some help for what I've got planned."

"Aww, what a cute stuffed snake," Rebecca says as the twins move over to the bed.

"Yeah, you're brother won it for me," Raven says as she closes the door.

"Wow, really?" Roselind says. "That makes you the first woman not related to Rory that he's done that for."

"Really? The first and only?" Raven asks.

"Yep," both sisters say.

Raven smiles with even more pride.

"So what do you have planned?" Rebecca asks.

"Well, your brother has trained me in all the different magical arts of the many magical families," she says. "I'm going to use Autonomy on Slithersby and Domo-kun here, so that they can reinforce me."

"Slithersby?" the two say.

"Yes, that's what your brother named him," Raven says as she picks up the stuffed animal and drapes it around her shoulders. "I'll bring him and Domo-kun to life, and toughen them up with some Enchantments and Alchemy."

"Then I'll grab you a couple mind-stones," Roselind says.

"And I'll fetch some supplies for the rest," Rebecca says.

The sisters head back out into the hall, closing the door behind them. Raven puts Slithersby back down and moves to choosing her dueling wardrobe.

A) Dress in shorts, tank-top and running shoes
B) Dress in standard Titans superhero attire
C) Stay as is, just change shoes

She takes off her dress flats, jeans and T-shirt to put on her shorts and pull out a tank-top.

"Oh... Wait," Raven says as she takes her bra in to account.

Raven never did buy a sports bra. And this lacey thing won't give her the support she needs.

"We're back," Roselind and Rebecca says as they return. "What's the matter?"

"Umm..." Raven says. "You wouldn't happen to have a sports bra I could borrow?"

"Not in that size..." they say.

The two sisters walk up and they both closely inspect Raven from opposite sides. Raven starts to feel very awkward with them staring so close.

"These are real?" Roselind asks from the right.

"Yes!" Raven defends, starting to cover up a little.

"I think she has more than any of the other suitors," Rebecca says from the left.

"Stop...!" Raven says as Rebecca reaches a finger out.

"Becca," Roselind scolds while Raven puts her tank top on.

"Well, I guess I'll just deal with not running around too much," Raven says as she brings out her running shoes. "Though I won't really get to break these in..."

"Oh, here are the things you asked for," Roselind says.

"Thanks," Raven says as she takes the mind-stones and other supplies.

She picks up Slithersby's head and places the stone against it.

"Vitae, Vitae, Vitae," she chants.

The stone settles in, and Slithersby sits up.

"Slithersby, stay," Raven says as she goes over to Domo-kun.

Slithersby sits still while Raven puts the second stone against Domo-kun's head.

"Vitae, Vitae, Vitae," she chants again.

Domo-kun springs to life, raising his nubby arms.

"Aww~...!" the twins say.

"Now on to some Alchemy and Enchantments," Raven says. "What have you got?"

"Moon dust for repairs," Roselind says.

"Phoenix ashes for fire resistance," Rebecca says.

"A small vial of dwarf drool for strength," Roselind says, handling it with both care and disgust.

"Powdered Essence of Fortitude, for toughness," Rebecca says.

"I know how to use that one," Raven says. "Udari Afari."

Raven prepares a transmutation circle, and has Domo-kun walk onto it like before. She makes his cotton into metal, then uses the Powdered Essence of Fortitude to make Metal Domo even tougher. She repeats the process with Slithersby, making him into a steel snake and toughening him up with the Essence of Fortitude.

"How does the dwarf drool work...?" she asks tentatively.

"You have to rub it on the item," Roselind says.

Raven gags a bit at the thought.

"Don't worry, we have gloves for that," Rebecca says.

"Good," Raven sighs with relief.

She puts the rubber gloves on, then pours out some of the thick saliva onto Domo-kun and some on Slithersby.

"Okay now what?" she asks.

"Kuirnis Sornis Amaut," the sisters say together.

The two stuffed animals, now Raven's metal golems, glow, and the saliva evaporates.

"Did that do it?" Raven asks.

"Yes," the sisters say.

"Now Domo-kun and Slithersby will be strong enough to lift several kilos," Rebecca says.

"Awesome," she says. "Okay, give me the fire resistance."

Roselind hands Raven the pouch of Phoenix Ash, and Raven sprinkles a pinch on each of her golems.

"Icalla Zacalli Blidiana," Roselind and Rebecca say.

The ashes spark and flicker for just a couple seconds.

"They're ready," the sisters say together.

"Thanks for this," Raven says to them. "It means a lot that you two decided to help me."

"Well unlike every single other one of these ninnies," Rebecca says, "we like you."

"Really?"

"Yes, of course we do!" Roselind says. "You're amazing! You're actually able to go out into the world and use your magic for good. So many people in our community, including these pampered poodles, have to hide the truth about themselves. But you, you're an actual hero, even if none of these other girls know it. You're way more deserving of our brother than all of them combined."

Raven sweetly smiles, and even tears up a little.

"I don't normally do this," Raven says, "but could we hug?"

Roselind and Rebecca gasp happily, then hold their arms open. Raven opens her arms, and the three hug.

"Wow," Rebecca says. "These are massive."

"Rebecca!" Roselind scolds again while Raven purses her lips. "You're ruining the moment. Even if you're right."

The three all laugh as they break the hug.

"Alright," Raven says. "I'm all set to take these girls on."

"Yeah!" the sisters say together.

Raven leads the way out of the room, just as the others come out of their rooms. Raven and the suitresses all glare at each other with quick glances. They all walk back down the hall, heading for the veranda.

"You two go on ahead," Raven tells the twins. "Tell your brother, my first opponent is going to be..."

A) Ruby
B) Roxanne

"Roxanne."

"Will do!" the twins say.

They go on ahead while Raven looks back at Roxanne, who has put on yoga pants, a little sports bra and tank top, and her own running shoes. Roxanne scoffs at Raven, so Raven sneers back.

[cut back to Rorek]

"Rory! Rory!" your sisters say as they return to the veranda. "They've decided!"

"They have?" you say as you and your cousins stand up. "Who is up first?"

"Raven's called out Roxanne," Roselind says.

"And she's totally ready for a fight!" Rebecca says.

"Roxanne Zoza, huh?" Reed says. "The Disorientation Diva."

"You think she'll be alright?" Ross asks you.

"No, she doesn't stand a chance," you say. "Raven will overwhelm her."

Raven leads the way as the suitresses return.

"Well, look at you all," Reed says. "Tights, shoes with shoe laces, hair up and no jewelry."

"Strange how you get so talkative when we're this close to cat fights," you say to him.

"Well, family scuffles aren't my cup of tea, cousin," he says. "But cat fights are."

You chuckle while Penelope opens the doors from the veranda to the fields.

"Perhaps we should move things out here," she suggests.

"Yes, good thinking, Penelope," you say. "That way no one has to worry about property damage inside the mansion."

Roxanne and Renee have their noses up at Raven as they go around the table and out the back door.

"After her," Rumiko says to Raven, pointing at Roxanne. "Ai want tu fight yu!"

"Challenge accepted," Raven says.

Rumiko nods and walks out through the door.

"Where does she rank compared to the others?" Raven asks you quietly while the others file out.

"She's up there," you say. "But just worry about Roxanne. I know from our training that Disorientation Magic is one of your weaknesses."

"Isn't it everyone's? That's why it's so useful."

"I'm just saying," you say. "Keep up your guard, but go at her with everything you've got."

"Got it," she says.

Raven walks out, and then you walk out with your sisters and cousins. Penelope, Carter and the Wilmarth children follow and set up outdoor furniture for you.

"Thank you," you say as you take a seat.

You see your parents and the many parents of the suitresses walk out. They also sit in their own outdoor furniture, your parents and grandparents sitting near you and the other Null grandchildren.

"So who's up first?" mother asks.

"Raven, and Roxanne," you say.

"Since they all wanted to challenge Raven, Raven challenged Roxanne," Reed adds.

"And Rumiko wants Raven after this," Ross also adds.

"A busy dance card, then," Uncle Roger says. "Will she be alright?"

"Rory sure thinks so," Ross says.

"Because I know so," you say. "Raven is in life or death situations on a regular basis. Roxanne gets mud on her skirt and she has a mental break down."

Your sisters giggle.

"Master Rorek VI, if you would be so kind," Bret says.

"Right, um," your grandfather says as he stands back up. "Per the traditions of our families and their friendly but competitive bonds, we commence the first duel of court... courtship? Was that the word?"

"Yes, dear," grandmother says.

"Then, duelists, introduce yourselves," grandfather says.

"Roxanne Zoza, of France!" Roxanne says as she steps forward.

"Uh... Raven Roth, of Azarath by way of America!" Raven says, stepping forward.

Everyone mutters about Azarath, not knowing a thing about it, since it's not anywhere on Earth.

"On guard," grandfather says. "Begin!"

Raven sends Slithersby up ahead first, with Domo-kun lagging behind. She then moves on to

She gathers the air around her, as well as the moisture in it. She then combines the water and wind into ice and makes it like a pane of glass floating in front of her.

"Wow, elemental magic," Reed says. "Wouldn't have thought she was capable of that."

"I helped her with that, actually," you say.

Roxanne avoids Slithersby from under foot while Domo-kun waddles around the side. Roxanne fires very basic Arcana at the golems, but they withstand the attacks; Domo-kun does get knocked over, though.

"Those little buggers sure are tough," Ross says.

"And it's not just from being metal," you say. "She must've enchanted them, but I never got her any supplies."

"Don't worry, Rory," Rebecca says.

"We did!" Roselind says.

"Really?" mother asks. "You've never helped any of these girls before."

"Because we've never really liked any of them," Roselind says.

"Raven's much more likeable," Rebecca says. "Even if her father was a de--"

Roselind jabs Rebecca with an elbow in the side.

"A what?" mother asks.

"Her father was a delinquent," Rebecca changes. "A very, very bad person."

"Very bad," Roselind says.

"Oh," mother says. "That's a shame. What ever happened to him?"

"It's a long story," you say, "but he's dead now, and Raven will not want to talk about it at all, ever, so let's not bring it up."

"I see," mother says. "Mum's the word, then."

Roxanne fires her Disorientation Spell at Raven, but it hits the pane of ice and seems to be deflected.

"Disorientation doesn't work unless it makes direct contact with my eyes," Raven says. "But it'd seem like cheating if I wore sunglasses, so I came up with this. It also helps me do things like this!"

Raven puts her hand on the ice and shoots out blasts of icy flurry! Roxanne squeals and runs away, then chucks Arcana at Raven. Raven swings the ice around her while shooting Arcana to counter.

"Arcana Gemini, Melleo!" Raven says as she fires off blunt energy.

The ice then swings back around to shield Raven again while Roxanne uses basic Defense Spells to shield herself. Roxanne throws more Arcana at Raven, but she swings the ice around as she evades.

Roxanne quickly summons a wolf, and sends it after Slithersby, which still pursues her. Her wolf, in its soft purple, wrestles with the metallic Slithersby. However, Slithersby wraps itself around the wolf and constricts it. The wolf cracks from the strength of the steel snake, and the summon is broken.

"Rather ruthless," Ross says.

"They're constructs, no harm done," Reed says.

Raven moves in towards Roxanne's right, and Roxanne seems tired already. Using that Summoning Spell must've used up a lot of her mana. She fires one big Disorientation Spell, but Raven's ice window again refracts and voids its affect on her.

"Hein?" Roxanne says as she looks down.

Domo-kun has grabbed one of her legs! She tries to shake him off, but being made of metal, he's very heavy.

"Let go, you little creature!" Roxanne shouts.

"Arcana Melleo!" Raven says as she fires off another blast.

"OOF!" Roxanne lets out as the blunt energy hits her in the stomach.

Roxanne doubles over and falls back on her butt. Raven leaps over while Slithersby slithers up, and they bind Roxanne both physically and magically.

"Stop there," grandfather Sixth speaks up. "I believe it's obvious that Raven has won."

Slithersby and Domo-kun release Roxanne and they back off with Raven. Rumiko then leaps forward into the "battlefield."

"Hai!" she says. "Tokyo, Japan, Hanamori Rumiko desu!"

"Oh, another challenger already," Sixth says.

"Are we going into the second match already?" grandmother asks.

"Perhaps we should give Raven five minutes or so to rest," you say. "We don't want to run her ragged."

"Alright then," Sixth says. "Let's take a short break before the second match."

Rumiko grumbles while you wave to Raven. Raven walks over, and Carter brings a towel and bottle of water.

"A break?" she says. "Seriously?"

"Well, I also want to give you some pointers," you say quietly to her. "I didn't expect Rumiko to attend, so I never told you about her."

"That's for sure," Raven says as she snatches the towel.

"I do apologize for that," you say sheepishly as she wipes the sweat from her brow and neck. "But as I said, she's an Elemental expert. Her affinities are Wind and Lightning. Where you are capable of Ice Magic, she is capable of Typhoon Magic."

"Typhoon?" Raven says as she takes the water bottle. "That's just, stronger winds."

"Well it's a little bit different than that," you say. "The winds are almost hurricane levels of force, so you will get blown away if you're not careful. Plus, the static caused by the friction of the winds help amplify her Lightning Affinity. She can use the spark from static electricity to add a powerful impact to her martial arts. By the way, she's really skilled in various martial arts."

"Makes sense," Raven says after chugging water. "And that means Elemental probably won't work against her, right?"

"With both of you usign Wind, and then she having the advantage of Lightning against Water, yes. You have everything else, so don't be afraid to use it."

"Got it," Raven nods. "Good luck kiss?"

"You don't need luck, Raven, you've got skill."

"Then a kiss just because?"

"Why not."

You two have a quick little kiss, which your sisters applaud for but all the other suitresses and their families grumble and groan about.

Raven walks back to the field while you go back to your seat.

"Ready," Sixth says. "Begin!"

Rumiko gathers the air around her, clearly preparing her Typhoon style. Raven sends Slithersby on ahead, but Rumiko stomps her foot. A Summoning circle comes from her shoe! And with it, Rumiko summons a tiger in red and white!

"She can Summon?" Reed says.

"And a tiger?" Ross adds. "That's high level."

Rumiko's red tiger leaps at Slithersby, slapping him with its paw. Slithersby rolls and corrects himself, but the tiger then pins him down. Slithersby wraps itself around the limbs, but this tiger is very sturdy, and simply swings and slaps Slithersby around.

Raven herself has moved, but Rumiko keeps an eye on her. Raven touches the ground with both hands, and you can tell she's using Druidic magic. The grass seems to surge and swell, so she's using Nature magic. The grass springs up to grab at Rumiko, but she gives up one hand of wind to cut it all away. She moves away with handsprings and flips, while maintaining the gathering of wind in the other hand.

Raven takes a deep breath, and mana gathers in her throat!

"HOOOO~!" Raven lets out, and it's amplified by Sound magic!

The shout is like a blast, and Rumiko braces herself against the gust.

"Clever," Roselind says. "If Raven can't beat Rumiko with Wind Element..."

"She'll use Sound to do the next best thing," Rebecca concludes.

Rumiko prepares Lightning in her other hand, and stomps her other foot for another Summoning circle. This second cirlce summons a red bear! The bear lumbers over, but Raven uses her own Summoning to bring out nine wolves.

"Nine?" Rebecca says.

"I thought only Ruby was capable of that many," Roselind says.

Raven sends her nine black wolves at the red bear. The bear swipes at two or three, but they're just distractions while the others head for Rumiko.

"Chikush!" Rumiko growls.

She doesn't have a lot of Lightning built up, but she combines it with her Wind, and it accelerates the Wind into a powerful gust! She uses it to push the wolves away, and it also hits the other wolves and her own bear. Raven gets caught up in the low level Typhoon, but she uses her levitation ability to ride the wind and fly up.

"She can fly!?" everyone but your sisters shout.

"Does no one here know a thing about the Teen Titans?" Roselind says.

"Because yes, she can fly," Rebecca says.

Raven lands while the suitresses protest, but ignores them as she rallies her wolves. They hurry after Rumiko and her bear while Raven prepares mana. After she charges up, she uses it for
