As Alexis is laying down outside Raven's door watching over Raven like Robin had asked Alexis to do she hears gasping from inside Raven's room an goes in quickly to see what's wrong.
"Raven are you ok?" Alexis asks.
"Yes Alex I'm alright... but would you cared if you stayed in here with me to keep me company?" Raven asks.
"Of course Raven." Alexis says as she lays down near Raven.
"Alexis thanks for allowing me to talk to you about a lot of this stuff a while back when Slade first went after me your the only person I feel like truly understands." Raven says.
"Well part of that may be from where I understand where your coming from in a way. I mean apart from having dangerous powers that often spring out of control because they're connected to my emotions I always have wolves after me because of my powers so I can relate." Alexis says kindly as she lays her head down resting.
"It's my destiny. There has to be a way to change it I know there is. I just need a little help finding it." Raven says as she looks through her books.
"Raven the only person who is cable of who is in control of your destiny is you yes things will happen but that doesn't mean that they don't happen without reason. Things will be ok in the end." Alexis says.
"Do you really believe that Alex?" Raven asks as she continues looking through her books.
"Truth. No. I'm just as worried as you. But I meant what I said about you are in control you control your destiny no one else." Alexis says. Alexis then gets up as she hears Raven gasp again and looks to see the symbol that was on Slade.
"No. This has to be wrong." Raven says as she drops all of her books but one. Alexis then takes a closer look at the page as she reads it.
"Alexis you cant say anything nothing promise me you'll keep it between us?" Raven asks.
"But-" Alexis the get cut off by Raven.
"Promise me Alexis. Please I promise I'll keep trying but until I find a way I want you to promise me you wont say anything I don't want false hope." Raven says. Alexis then sighs.
"Alright." Alexis says as Robin then knocks on Raven's door.
"Uh. Any luck finding the symbol?" Robin asks as Raven hides the book.
"No it's not in any of my books." Rave says.
"Are you ok Raven? You look a little well paler." Robin asks as he opens Raven's door and Raven walks over to the door.
"It's nothing I just haven't been able to meditate lately." Raven says.
"Look I know Slade scared you but we'll find out why he was after you." Robin says as Alexis walks over.
"Slade doesn't concern me." Raven says as the alarm goes off.
"Friends come quickly." Starfire says as she calls for everyone to get where she is. Once everyone is with Starfire they see the symbol on a big sheet of paper.
"Cyborg was correct. This symbol is not of the Earth and what I have discovered is most disturbing. Please give your attention to this spodgerent. In the folklore of the zargac nomads markings such as these were used as praylude to the ghoulding." Starfire says.
"Actually-" Beast Boy then gets cut off by Starfire.
"A savage ritual that requires all zargac to consume fast quantities of bortha worms and-" Starfire then gets cut off by Beast Boy pulling a spot off the symbol.
"It's tofu calzone my bad." Beast Boy says.
"Oh. Nevermind." Starfire says as the alarm goes off showing its Slade and head to where he was spotted and see him setting fire to where he is.
"Vandalism I'd say you hit an all new low Slade." Robin says.
"The Teen Titans nice of you to drop by but as you can see I'm right in the middle of something. I'll deal with you in a few minutes." Slade says.
"No we'll deal with you now." Robin says.
"You cant always have what you want Robin." Slade says as he attacks Alexis and the others as they then dodge his attack as he then takes off running.
"Titans split up and take him down." Robin says as the group split up and go after Slade soon finding him after Robin and attack him until Slade disappears. The group then meet back up at an old library.
"Everything in a three block radius has been destroyed except this. Slade left it standing for a reason." Robin says.
"According to the city master plan this is the original town library but its been abandoned for decades." Cyborg says.
"No wonder this place is a dump." Beast boy says as he kicks a column making it come down along with another column and the library sign revealing the mark.
"The mark of scath. Slade told me the name." Robin says as he goes with the others to open the door.
"Wait we shouldn't go in it's probably a trap." Raven says.
"It's also our only lead we'll just have to chance it." Robin says as Starfire opens the doors and they go inside.
"Dudes even without the creepy librarians I'm not digging this place." Beast boy says as they come to a dead end.
"It's a dead end." Robin says.
"There's nothing here can we go now." Raven says as a door then opens next to Beast Boy scaring him.
"Uh I mean cool secret passage. You go first." Beast Boy says. Cyborg then turns on his light and goes down the path.
"I did not realize libraries housed such unpleasant sculptures." Starfire says looking around at the statues.
"They don't. This part of the building is old I'm I mean old old like before the city was built." Cyborg says as the room then lights up with the mark of scath everywhere.
"Raven?" Robin asks as he notices Raven acting weird as she takes off running with Robin and Alexis right behind her.
"Raven are you ok?" Robin asks.
"This place it's I shouldn't be here it's all wrong." Raven says.
"What's going on Raven? What aren't you telling me?" Robin asks.
"I can't explain I just need to leave I cant go back in there.
"Alex I know you know what Raven isn't telling me and I know you probably wont tell me so at least do this. Keep an eye on Raven stay with her and protect her." Robin asks.
"Will do." Alexis says as she shifts to wolf form and goes to find Raven. Once back at the tower Alexis finds Raven in her room.
"Alex go back to the others I'll be ok." Raven says.
"I cant Raven. Robin asked me to keep you safe. And besides I'm not gonna let you out of my sight until we find a way to beat this. So you can yell at me all you want I'm not leaving." Alexis says.
"Fine." Raven says as she gets the book out from under her bed and pours some kind of white powder around herself and Alexis and lights some candles.
"You might be able stop me from meditating." Raven says as she start chanting a spell pulling herself and Alexis through a portal.
"Um Raven where are we?" Alexis asks as she looks around.
"Azarath. My last hope." Raven says.
"I guess I'll follow you." Alexis say receiving a nod from Raven as the two start walking through the city.
"Hello? Not like I expected a parade but.." Raven says as she and Alex then see a white bird and follow it to the top of a building and then see a women in a white cloak holding the bird as she starts walking.
"Arella. No wait I've come back. Mother please help me." Raven says as the women then stops.
"You always had a home here my child but help we could not give." Arella says as she looks at Alexis receiving a slight snarl from her.
"The prophecy it's happening you have to tell me how to stop it." Raven says.
"Nothing could be done. The promise of your birth was absolute." Arella says.
"I don't believe you. There has to be a way. I don't wanna be this. I don't wanna help him. Mother I'm afraid." Raven says.
"You forever had the love of your people Raven even knowing what you would become and what that would bring as well I can see the love of your friends as well from this one certainly. It was too late for Earth just as it was too late for Azarath." Arella says as a flash of white light then happens and the city around Raven and Alexis turn to fire and ash.
"No. Come on Alex we need to go." Raven says as she creates a portal for her and Alexis to back to Earth to go help the others. Once back in the room with the others Alexis and Raven see Slade using some type of magic to hold the rest of the team and put them in pain.
"Struggling only makes it worse and how I hate to see you suffer. This wont hurt a bit." Slade says as he is about to finish the group off.
"Wanna bet?" Raven asks as she throws a large piece of the wall at Slade knocking him away from the rest of the team. The rest of the team then look up to see Alexis growling viciously and Raven looking very ticked off.
"I told you to leave them out of this." Raven says as Alexis goes over to the others helping them up.
"How sweet you've come back to save your friends. Your only delaying there pain and yours." Slade says.
"Well what are you waiting for? Aren't you gonna attack? Reduce me to ashes? Or did your master forbid you from hurting me? Did he order you to keep his jem safe?" Raven asks as she walks over to Slade.
"So Raven has the jem?" Cyborg asks.
"No Raven is the jem." Robin says.
"I'll be sure to give him your regards." Slade says as he tries to leave but Raven stops him.
"I'm not finished yet. This time I have a message for you. You tell him that he'll have to destroy me before I help him." Raven says as she throws Slade across the room.
"You can tell him yourself the hour is near." Slade says as Raven attacks him.
"I'm not afraid of you anymore." Raven says.
"You might not fear me but look who is afraid of you." Slade says pointing to Alexis and the others as he leaves.
"Raven?" Beast boy asks. The group then head back to the tower and start having Raven explain.
"The ancient order used the name scath to protect the true identity of their master. We know him as Trigon." Raven says.
"Are you serious that's who we're up against? Oh man." Cyborg says.
"His cruelty is legendary even on my world." Starfire says.
"So what makes you go all glowy in the dark?" Beast boy asks.
"It's a warning it means Trigon is coming. And the way he gets here is through me. I'm not just a person I'm a portal." Raven says.
"But Raven why you?" Robin asks.
"Because Trigon is my father. Bad things are going to happen soon really bad things and it's gonna be my fault. I thought I could handle this alone. I tried but I was wrong." Raven says.
"For confiding in us we are most humbled." Stafire says.
"I only have one question how do we stop him?" Cyborg asks.
"We don't." Raven says.
"But that doesn't mean we still cant try." Beast Boy says.
