Hey all! I was watching The End part 2 and thought, 'What if Beast Boy went with Slade instead of Robin?' And so I decided to make a story on what I think would happen. Though it may not be as interesting, there needs to be some fluff, so I think that it would have been better if BB went. Everybody's like 'Ooh, RobRae!' and I don't really like that. Raven sees Robin as an older brother! She likes BB! Robin belongs with Starfire!

Anyways, now that I'm done my ranting, please enjoy my (cracked up?) story~! And comments would be appreciated!

Beast Boy opened his eyes to find that he was in the middle of their beloved Jump City now in ruins with the people stone cold statues. It was shocking, almost enough to make Beast Boy want to give up. But the thought of his friends alive, and saving Raven made him get to his feet and start walking.

"Dude? Anyone there? Hello!" Beast Boy called for his friends.

A movement through the corner of his eye caught Beast Boy's attention and he turned to see a raven with bright reed eyes staring at him. It actually reminded him of Raven. He slowly opened his mouth to speak, but the bird took off. With a gasp, the green changeling transformed to a hawk and followed it through the city to the very core, a tall building. On it was Robin and Cyborg.

With relief the green Titan landed beside Cyborg and changed back to his human form.

"I'm glad you made it." Cyborg was saying as Starfire landed behind them.

"Robin." she sighed in disguised fear, running and hugging the Boy Wonder. She was so relieved to see that he was safe. "You are unharmed."

After pulling away and taking a breath Robin cleared his throat. "I saw something out there. In the city. It lead me here."

Beast Boy spoke up, thinking of the raven that he had followed to this spot. "It lead all of us here." He stopped for a second and his ears drooped as he thought of a certain empath. "Almost all of us."

All four of them stared at the ruined city and frowned. The sky was red. The buildings were all crumbled and smashed. The streets were cracked. The innocent people were turned to stone, frozen in position.

"We're the only ones left. "Cyborg voiced their thoughts.

"But how is this possible? How have we survived?" Starfire questioned, raising her arms from her side.

"It was Raven, she saved us." Beast Boy answered with certainty. "I don't know how, but she did."

Robin glanced back. "Back at the tower, when Raven knocked us out. The last thing I heard was her voice. It said 'be safe.' She did something. Something that protected us from Trigon."

Cyborg frowned deeper. "As if it matters. Look around, there's nothing left. What's the point?"

The reply came from Robin. "Hope. That's the point. As long as we're here, we still have a chance. And that's why we're going to keep fighting. For Raven." He placed his hand in front of him, in between the three of his friends.

"For Raven." Starfire repeated, placing her hand on Robin's.

"For Raven." Cyborg nodded, placing his on Starfire's.

"For Raven." Beast Boy agreed, putting his green hand on Cyborg's.

A black energy orb emitted from their touching hands and it exploded, making the four fly back from the power from it. It was a shock, something that none of them had expected. The four Titans looked at their hands in confusion and curiosity.

Cyborg was the first to speak. "Okay, that felt weird."

"Raven may not have been able to stop Trigon from coming, but she left us a way to fight him. She gave us some of her power." the Boy Wonder spoke, lifting his hand with a black flame coming from it.

"And it grows stronger when we stand as one." Starfire smiled.

The four grinned at each other and quickly made their way toward where Trigon was, sitting on their beloved Titan's Tower. The demon was gaining back his strength from his descent here. It gave them an opportunity to attack.

Where the water once was, lava took it's place. Starfire bore down on Trigon, using her star bolts to hit him, but he did not flinch. Robin jumped from rock to rock, making sure he did not step in the lava, and threw his bombs at the hoofed feet of Trigon, though he still did not move. Beast Boy carried Cyborg, who released his missiles at him, and the demon opened his four red eyes calmly.

"Trigon, Stand up and fight!" Robin demanded.

Trigon's voice boomed. "Insignificant insects."

Robin was not giving up as he spoke to his team. "I think it's time to hit him hard."

Beast Boy felt slightly nervous. "You're positive we're not going to accidentally microwave our brains?"

Starfire ignored him and looked at the other two. "I have used Raven's powers once before. They are controlled by emotions. The more we feel, the more energy is released."

"In other words, get angry!" Cyborg stated.

Cyborg grabbed Beast Boy's hand, who grabbed Robin's, who grabbed Starfire's. Black energy welled from the four, and they thought of their teammate and friend, Raven, getting themselves angry. The four Titans rose off the ground, facing Trigon, and tightened their grip.

"Azarath metrion zinthos!" the four chanted and black energy poured out of the four, directing at Trigon and hitting him in the chest, making him cry out in pain momentarily.

When the energy stopped it's attack on Trigon, he bent over slightly and smirked. "You may think it wise to attack me while I gather my strength." The Titans gaped in shock. "But as you can see, not even a farewell blessing from my daughter can help you. Be gone." His four eyes glowed red and the four were hit so hard that they flew.

They landed in a hole, grunting in pain as they landed, and looked around them. It was a place that they did not want to be.

"Guess that wasn't angry enough." Cyborg stated, getting up and rubbing the back of his head.

Beast Boy grasped his arm in pain and stared at his surroundings. "Of all the places to crash and burn... why'd it have to be here?"

Starfire spoke up, hugging herself. "Please, I wish to leave."

Cyborg glared at the female Tameranean. "And go where? The whole world is toast, and the only person who'd know what to do is..." He sighed in defeat. "We could really use her help right now."

"I know what we saw. But I still can't believe it" Robin growled, standing on stairs that stopped leading to the air. "It just doesn't feel like Raven's really gone.

"That's because she isn't." a voice came from the shadows, a very familiar voice as Slade walked out of the dark area.

"Slade!" Robin hissed.

The Boy Wonder grabbed his bird-a-rangs and raced forward, throwing them at Slade, but he dodged. Beast Boy, as a green triceratops, ran at the masked villain and smashed him against the wall before ramming into him again, making Slade yell out in pain and fall to his hands and knees.

"What's the matter, Slade? Giving up already?" Robin asked his enemy.

Slade looked up smugly, getting back to his feet. "Sorry to disappoint you, Robin, but I'm not here to fight. I'm here to help."

Beast Boy snarled at the bigger man, pointing a finger in his face. "We don't need your help!"

The masked villain brushed himself off calmly. "Yes, you seem to have everything under control." He stopped and looked at the group of Titans. "Raven can still be saved."

Starfire, enraged, raced forward and slammed Slade against the wall, holding him up in the air, a star bolt appearing in her hand. "You will not dishonour our friend with your trickery!"

"Whatever you're selling, we're not buying." Cyborg agreed, aiming his sonic blaster.

"Think of me what you will, but what Trigon did, not even I would wish on this world." Slade stated.

Cyborg was not letting up. "It's a little late for 'I'm sorry's.'"

"You mistake my generosity for regret, Cyborg. I only offer my assistance because it suits me!" Slade snorted, glaring at the Titans.

"But we saw Raven become the portal." Starfire said, setting Slade back on his feet. "She was destroyed."

"Raven has fulfilled the prophesy of her birth. That part of her existence is complete." Slade acknowledged. "But another part still remains... for the moment."

Robin's eyes slitted with distrust. "Why are you doing this? What's in it for you?"

Slade walked forward, past Starfire and Beast Boy, past Robin and Cyborg. "My reasons are my own. Do you want your friend back, or not?"

Cyborg snapped. "Just tell us where she is and we'll take it from there!"

"There will be no 'we.' This is a journey only one of you may take." Slade stated, glancing over his shoulder.

Beast Boy took a step forward. "No deal! She's our friend! All of us are going!"

Slade growled. "Then your friend is doomed to oblivion. You fail to realize, Trigon is all seeing. His mind can be at any place at any time. For us to succeed, Trigon's attention must be occupied."

"And how do you expect us to do that? We already tried fighting him, and look where it got us!" Cyborg burst.

"It's the end of the world. Did you think it would be easy?" Slade questioned, turning to stare at the four in front of him. "I don't expect you to win. I don't even expect you to live. Only endure."

The four were silent, thinking. Robin was about to speak when he was interrupted by Beast Boy.

"I'll go." Beast Boy muttered, stepping forward.

Cyborg turned to his green friend with a pained look. "Beast Boy, you can't."

Beast Boy nodded, almost to himself. "I have to. If there's any chance to save Raven, then I'm going to try to get her back."

Slade spoke up. "The journey to this world has taken much of Trigon's power. With this, you might be able to survive." The masked man held out a ring with red symbols on it. "It's a Ring of Azar. Forged by the same order that imprisoned Trigon. I know from experience that it works."

Starfire took the ring and glanced back at Beast Boy, who grinned encouragingly. "You guy's are gonna kick his butt. You won't even miss me." Starfire bent down and hugged the green changeling tightly. "Don't worry, I'll be fine."

"Be safe, my friend." Starfire whispered.

"It may get ugly, but don't worry, BB, we'll keep him busy." Cyborg comforted and Robin nodded.

"When I come back, you guys had better still be your original colours. I don't wanna see any discolouration!" Beast Boy waved.

"Your goodbye's are really quite touching. But we have work to do." Slade stated, leading Beast Boy into a dark hole in the ground. "Come, Beast Boy."

The green changeling followed, but stopped at the edge of the hole and glanced back. "I'll bring her back safely, I promise."

As he disappeared the other three looked at each other before setting off to distract Trigon. The female Tameranean placed the Ring of Azar on her finger and sighed.

Beast Boy walked briskly down a steep path, following Slade. After what seemed like hours, or only minutes, they reached a door with the Mark of Scathe on it. It was where they had to go.

Slade glared at the green boy. "Before we continue, a warning. If we succeed, I will not guarantee you will like what you find." Beast Boy just nodded, his face stone cold.

Slowly they pushed open the large, heavy door and looked down a cliff to a river of lava, with a boat floating in it. The masked villain jumped down into the boat while the green changeling flew down as an eagle.
