Slade arrived at the planet of Qward through the use of his gauntlet and looked around at the ruined and lifeless planet with regret.
"Oh yeah, some things never change" said a sarcastic Raven who was sitting down a few yards from Slade.
"I take it Mod is dead then?" asked Slade.
"Still, he accomplished his mission" said Slade as noticed the time motherbox with Raven.
"You may regret that. I'm not holding anything back this time" said Raven.
"What do you think this place is?" asked Slade.
"No idea. Some planet you destroyed?" asked Raven in reply.
"No, not at all. This place was beautiful" said Slade as he activated his gauntlet to create an illusion of how the planet used to look.
"After your father Trigon was destroyed and as I was restored, I set out to explore space. I even considered starting over away from my old life on earth. Shortly after I found this place and for a short time I came close to restarting my life here, but this planet was just like earth. Too many mouths to feed and not enough to go around. I was reliving what destroyed my family. I tried to warn the high council and even offered a solution" explained Slade.
"Genocide" answered Raven.
"At random. To rich and poor alike. They called me a mad man, just like my wife. And what I predicted came to pass" explained Slade as he dropped the illusion.
"Now I make it my mission to bring balance to the universe" said Slade.
"By murdering trillions" countered Raven.
"With all six motherboxes, I could do it with the snap of my fingers like this" explained Slade.
"And then what?" asked Raven as she got up and prepared for the coming battle.
"And then I rest and watch the sun rise on a grateful universe. The hardest choices require the strongest wills" answered Slade as he bowed his head in regret.
"I think you'll find our will is much stronger than yours" shouted Raven as she activated her magic.
"Ours?" asked a confused Slade as a bomb went off on a building right behind him that fell on him.
Slade used his gauntlet to blast the wreckage away and began battling the Titans.
"You ready?" asked Robin to Speedy as they began battling Slade.
"Yeah. What about you, Boy Wonder?" asked a sarcastic Speedy in response.
Aqualand quickly sweep kicked Slade down then Raven teleported Larry around from all directions to distract him.
"You stupid boy" screamed Slade he grabbed Larry by the neck and threw him back.
Then a ship came in and crashed into Slade knocking him back.
The pilot was revealed to be Wintergreen and accompanied by Jericho.
"You should have killed me" shouted Jericho in Wintergreen's body.
"It would have been a waste of time" shot Slade back.
"Where's Rose?!" screamed Jericho in Wintergreen's voice.
Slade then managed to knock his occupied butler back and battled the Titans some more.
Raven used her magic on Slade's gauntlet and tried pulling it off.
Aqualand came back and dropped down and held Slade's right leg down.
Larry used his power to hold Slade in place while Speedy shot an arrow to hold Slade's free arm in place.
Slade was struggling to break free and Bumblebee dropped down and put a tranquilizer dart in his neck forcing him to go only half asleep due to his strong will.
Raven held Slade down from Larry positioned and Robin told Larry to help him quickly get the gauntlet off before he regained consciousness.
Speedy then came up and bragged how this was all his idea.
He then asked, "Where's Rose?"
Though he was half-asleep, Slade screamed out, "My Rose!"
"Oh, don't give me that bull! Where is she?!" asked Speedy louder this time.
Slade acted very emotional at these questions and Jericho deduced what happened.
"He took her into Raan and he came back with the soul motherbox, but she didn't" saida shaken up Jericho.
"Tell me you didn't do it, you monster" screamed Speedy.
"I had to" replied Slade.
Speedy looked at Slade with full hatred.
"Okay, don't engage! We almost got this off" screamed Robin trying to get Speedy from making a mistake that would cost them everything.
"No you didn't" screamed Speedy as he hit Slade's mask several times before Robin got him off.
"It's almost off guys" said Larry as he almost pulled the gauntlet off before Slade fully awoke and wreaked havoc on the Titans.
Slade then used his gauntlet and sent parts of Qward's moon down to the planet in a bid to kill the Titans once and for all.
Back on Azarath, Coman was still busy operating on Killowat as Argent waited nervously.
Starfire and Cyborg managed to catch up during the midst of the battle.
"So, you got a sword now, huh?" asked Cyborg.
"Indeed friend! It makes killing my enemies much easier" replied Starfire.
"Oh and these are my friends" shouted Starfire to Más y Menos.
"What's up guys?" asked Cyborg.
"Oh, just been on a space mission and all" replied Mas as he and his brother continued to fight.
"Watch where you're going, Kid Flash" said an annoyed Red Star.
"And watch where you're flying" shot Kid Flash back as they continued to fight the aliens.
At this point Terra and Starfire crossed paths.
"Friend Terra! It's good to see you" said Starfire.
"Yeah, you too...Starfire, lookout" shouted Terra at the aliens were right behind her as she threw boulders at them.
"Thank you, friend" said Starfire.
"Don't mention it" replied Terra as they continued to fight.
Large turbine machines commanded by Slade's forces broke through the shield and Argent decided to join in the fight as one threated to kill Jinx and Arella.
"Why was your friend up there all this time?" asked a confused Arella.
"She's on the field. Take it" ordered Cheshire to Doctor Light as he entered the room where Killowat was.
Coman had little time to react, but it was enough and Killowat threw himself and Doctor Light out the window.
"Guys, we got a Killowat situation here" said Speedy as he was tackled by an alien.
"Someone get to Killowat" ordered Cyborg as he continued to battle the aliens.
"Got it" said Beast Boy as he went to Killowat's location.
"And I'm on way" said Argent before she was slashed in the face by Cheshire.
"He will die alone as will you" gloated Cheshire as she prepared to kill Argent.
"Oh, she's not alone" said Jinx as she and Arella cornered Cheshire. Cheshire then began to battle them.
Killowat was getting smacked around by both Doctor Light and Mammoth before Beast Boy arrived.
"You leave my friends alone, you jerks" said Beast Boy as he held up his daggers.
Mammoth threw Beast Boy near a pond and Beast Boy said, "This is it! I need you to morph!"
Nothing happened and he said, "Fine. I'll do it myself."
Beast Boy then used the power of the daggers to kick Mammoth up to the top of the dome causing him to explode.
"We got a lot of issues to work out" Beast Boy said to himself.
Doctor Light managed to stab Killowat, mocked him, and then tried to steal the time motherbox from him again before Cyborg came in and started attacking him.
"Get out of here" ordered Cyborg to a wounded Killowat.
The fight between Jinx and Arella with Cheshire continued with Arella knocked back and Jinx cornered. Argent finally regained her senses and lifted Cheshire up towards a nearby turbine machine that caused her blood to splatter on them.
"Yuck" said a disgusted Jinx.
Cyborg and Doctor Light continued to fight and Doctor Light came close to winning before Killowat stabbed him through the heart with Doctor Light's staff that he had dropped during his fight with Cyborg.
"I told you to go" said Cyborg as Killowat helped him up.
"We don't trade lives Cyborg" replied Killowat.
Back on Qward, Slade had caused an earthquake with his gauntlet which forced Larry to try and catch everyone.
"Sorry I can't remember anyone's names" shouted Larry trying to catch them.
Raven fought Slade one on one and said, Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos!"
This unleashed her full power and for a short moment, Slade was overwhelmed, but quickly used his gauntlet to stop her attack and then her grabbed by the neck.
"You have always been full of tricks Raven, but you never once use your greatest weapon" declared Slade as he took the time motherbox from her.
"A fake" screamed Slade he threw her aside.
A flash of smoke followed by a sweep kick knocked Slade off his balance for a brief second.
"You throw another moon at me, and I'm going to lose it" threatened a weary Robin.
"Ah Robin, or should I say Dick Grayson?" asked Slade revealing Robin's true identity.
"You think you know I am?" asked a surprised and concerned Robin.
"I do. You're not the only one cursed with knowledge" replied an annoyed Slade.
"My only curse has been you, Slade" said Robin as he launched every single weapon he had at his archenemy.
Slade and Robin fought hand to hand, and Robin brought out his staff in a desperate attempt to finish him off, but Slade took it and stabbed Robin in the chest. Robin dropped to his knees in pain.
"You have my respect, Robin. When I'm done, half of humanity will still exist. I hope they remember you" said Slade to a wounded Robin as he was about to blast him with his gauntlet.
"STOP" screamed Raven.
Slade turned to her and she told him, "Spare his life, and I will you give you the motherbox."
Robin look horrified at this.
"No tricks?" asked Slade, turning his gauntlet to her.
Raven shook her head and brought out the real time motherbox and gave it to Slade.
Slade added the time motherbox to his gauntlet and told himself, "Just one to go."
Speedy came in and shot multiple arrows at Slade, but he simply teleported away.
"Did we just lose?" asked a confused Speedy.
"Why did you do that?" asked Robin to Raven as he injected a heal dart into himself.
"We're in the end game now" said a beaten Raven as Slade headed towards the location of the final motherbox.
