Episode list:
The banishment of Evil: This episodes shows us some recap from the first
season's Episode of "Nevermore" and tells of what happened from then
to know as Trigon was banished to a void and Arella was made sentry to guard
the gate that led to Trigon's dimension. Sparked by dreams and visions she has
now of dread, Raven recants her memory of her mother and Azareth and how she
had fled to earth before it was destroyed by Trigon before his imprisonment.
Seeds of Azareth: In this episode, the teen titans battle the Wildebeest
society again as they loot and plunder a mall. Unbeknownst to them the tainted
seeds of Azareth have fallen to Earth and have been implanted in Brother
Sebastian, a member of a Brother's home at a religious school.
Our Brother Blood: Brother Sebastian, overcome by the seeds of evil
slays his fellow brothers and children at his school. He leaves his home and
searches for members. Meanwhile, the titans who are fighting the escaped
cinderblock here of this news and go to investigate but find nothing except a
horrific mess. Raven senses evil is amiss and her jewel on her head begins to
cause her pain.
Beast Boy's Folly: When Beast Boy and Robin go out for a day on the
town, they witness a church being burned and move in to help. They discover
cloaked figures running out of the church with daggers. They challenge them and
the brothers soon attack Robin and Beast Boy. Beast Boy slips in an animal form
and falls on Robin knocking him out. Despite his best efforts the men cast an
evil thingy upon him rendering him immobile while they escape.
Robin wakes up and takes the paralyzed Beast Boy back to their tower.
The Two Towers: Brother blood compiscates the Seattle Space needle and
makes it his HQ. Within it's confines he communicates with Trigon via a dead
corpse. Brother blood then sends out his men to capture the teen titans.
Brother blood's men attack the teen titans at their base. Although they put up
a valiant fight, the teen titans are overwhelmed and subdued by evil
whisperings. They are taken to Brother Blood in his Tower and blow up the
T-Tower.
Servitude: The Titans are taken to Brother Blood's Tower (The space
needle) and are made his prisoners. There he speaks of what he is going to do.
Then a corpse upon a table begins to speak to him and Raven's head is pounding
in pain. Robin makes threats to Brother Blood but he hushes him. Raven attempts
her powerful but unstable "Soul Self" attack but Brother blood
remains immune to it. The team is stunned by this. Finally Starfire has had
enough and breaks them free from the cell.
Shadow and Flame: Angered by their escape, Brother Blood Consults Trigon
for help. Brother blood and his men manage to open a weak rift to hell and
summon a powerful demon to defeat the Teen Titans. Trigon's Liet. is a huge
shadow demon of fire. The Demon begins to wreak havoc on Downtown Seattle as
people flee. The Teen Titans are drawn out and begin to fight it. At first it
seems simple enough, harkening back to the lesson they learned earlier; they
use the same strategy they did against the fire monster Thunder and lightning
unleashed. But neither Water nor physical force will defeat this foe. The
Valaraukar attacks the titans with ferocity and force. Stung by it's whip and
They all team up and manage to finally put in end to it when Starfire and
Cyborg fire a concentrated beam on it and Robin breaks it's Sword.
Changing of the guard: Arella sensing the tidings on earth are bleak and
her wanting to see her daughter again, manages to find someone else to guard
the gate for her, at least temporarily until she get's back. During this time,
Trigon, sensing weakness, unleashes his wrath upon the door and breaks free.
Arella, arriving on earth meets the teen titans and her long lost daughter
Raven. Though little time can be spared for such moments as Brother blood and
his men shout in glee as storm clouds black swirl around the city and lightning
clashes...
His son's arrival: Trigon arrives on earth through the eye of the storm.
He meets Brother blood for the first time in person and Brother blood and his
men bow before Trigon as their master, worshipping him like God. Trigon pleased
with this asks where are the titans, who have caused so much trouble. In a
Seattle now devoid of life, the Titans meet Trigon in his full form for the
first time. Raven's pain is severe and her mother tries to comfort her. Trigon
seeing his daughter now chuckles and asks her to come with him. After she
refuses the Titans attack him.
Valley of the shadow of death: The Titans attack Trigon but to no avail.
They can't even make a dent on him. Robin thinks up a plan to trap him between
some buildings and then pound him with all they have. Trigon now full or
arrogance and seeing Brother blood's use no longer needed kills him in front of
the titans. Amazed by his ruthlessness they press on and carry out their plan.
Several buildings crush him and all the titans launch huge attacks at them. In
the dust of this attack a huge crater can be seen. But where is Trigon?
The Gate: Trigon reveals himself to the teen titans. Bruised and
battered by the attack he begins to summon a hole in the ground. The titans
amazed he survived that onslaught are discouraged, but Arella reminds them the
fate of the world rest upon their shoulders. Trigon summons forth his demons
from the hole and they scour the landscape. The Titans struggle to kill the
demons and Trigon just laughs at their attempts as countless demons swarm out
of the hole like ants. Then they stop coming. The titans exhausted by that are
relived and rest in the safety of a building to plan their next move.
One
last Chance: The
titans argue about what they're going to do when the ground begins to shake.
They see Trigon talking to himself out loud in some deep dark tone. Then he stops
but the shaking continues...like a perpetual earthquake. Lightning strikes the
ground and hot ash falls from the sky. Then Trigon calls out aloud, knowing the
titans are around but not looking at them.
He says he there is nothing they can do now. He is calling forth his father,
the great dragon...Lucifer. Then Arella, Raven and the teen titans are a gasp
to learn that Raven is not only daughter to a demon, but also the granddaughter
to Satan himself. With time running out, the titans launch bold all out attacks
on Trigon. He is hurt bad but still manages to fight. The hole grows bigger and
soon flames can bee seen from it. The air becomes hot and thin. Ash blinds the
titans. Then Arella with all her strength says she will do what she can. And
using her self and the powers of Azareth, she destroys Trigon by literally
running into him and going out his back. A gaping hole in Trigon is seen and he
soon screams in pain and quivers and turns to smoke. The titans then blast the
open hole to kingdom come before the devil is set loose.
Raven's
Rings: The final
episode in the saga and third series.
Arella lies dying on the ground. The air is cold and dark as ash still clouds
the air. The clouds linger but as Beast Boy points out, the wind is begging to
move them away. Raven cries but her mother comforts her and tells her to have
her ring. Raven now has two. One that her mentor and father figure, Azar gave
her when he died and now the one her mother gave her. She tells Raven she will
always be with her... her spirit and power lives in the ring. And so she dies.
The teen titans then help each other up and comfort raven. They all stand
together, realizing how close everything had come to the end. And then it ends
with a picture of the desolate landscape by the sky clearing as blue can be
seen with the teen titans standing together battered, bruised, burned, and
bloody but still alive. And Earth has once again...been saved...thanks to
them...
