Raven tried to back away from Trigon but her whole body felt frozen. She closed her eyes instead and awaited for the moment to come.

"Don't you dare!" A strong voice called out. Raven opened her eyes and looked over and saw Robin with the others standing in the doorway with Turk standing beside the beloved leader with his sword drawn.

Trigon laughed. "You fools think you can stop the power of Trigon!" Trigon stood up proudly and roared. At that moment, it seemed that lightning bolts were coming from his hands as he held them up high.

Beast Boy cringed slightly at the outburst. "You know, I wonder if it is possible for someone with an ego that big can have their head explode."

Robin took out his bo-staff and aimed at Trigon. "I don't know about exploding heads, but I know that he's gonna have a sore head!" He lunged forward at Trigon with the others right behind him.

Raven quickly regained her senses, and quickly ran away from Trigon. She ran over to Starfire who stayed in front to protect her.

The other soldiers, noticing Turk lunging at Trigon, charged at the Titans. Turk stopped and held his sword up to them as if he was going to stab any who came too close.

"Fools! Didn't we want freedom from that cruel beast?" Several of the soldiers looked back and forth and a couple nodded. Turk lowered his blade. "Well then join me and the fellow Teen Titans to defeat this tyrant!" The soldiers drew their swords and cried out.

Robin swung his bo-staff around several times and hit Trigon on the face very painfully. Trigon held his face and glared, clenching his teeth.

"Fools cannot stop me!" He clapped his hands together, forming a strong burst of wind, sending everyone flying backwards.

Robin landed on his back with a loud thump and his bo-staff landed a few yards away from him. Scrambling to his feet, he ran over to grab it. However, he never made it over.

Trigon reached over with an enormous hand and grabbed Robin, lifting him into the air. Robin yelped as the demon's fist tightened, making breathing very difficult.

"You shall pay for your annoyances!"

Suddenly, a black wave of energy shot into Trigon's left eye. He closed his damaged eye and cried out, dropping Robin as he reached for the eye. Robin fell down, only to be enveloped in a black aura and safely placed on the ground.

Raven ran over with the bo-staff. She handed it to him. "Robin, we can't defeat him. There's no way that we can."

Cyborg shot several times at Trigon with his sonic cannon, which did a little damage to the demon's chest. "Robin! We need something to pierce his chest and to pierce the spot where his heart is!"

Beast Boy scrambled over. "Heh, heart. What heart?"

Smack. Starfire slapped Beast Boy hard on the back of the head, causing his to yelp.

Turk scanned the large room for anything that would be sharp enough and long enough to pierce the demon. He then looked at his own sword. The fine sword that was hand crafted by his elders and passed down through generations. The end of it had several rare jewels embedded, and its blade was long and broad. He looked from his sword to Trigon who was thrashing about clenching his eye.

Turk took several steps up to Trigon and glared at the demon before him. 'It's now or never.' He charged at Trigon, and using a table ahead of him as a catapult, he leaped into the air and right at Trigon's chest. He landed on it and taking his sword, penetrated the demon's chest and into its black heart.

Trigon screamed in horror, and fell to his knees as he slowly started to break down. He grabbed Turk and threw him across the room. No one noticed Turk for they were all stunned at Trigon's yelling. Trigon continued to evanescence in front of everyone. Then, he was gone.

All the soldiers began to whoop and cheer with happiness. Starfire, Beast Boy and Cyborg formed a group hug and hugged each other tightly in triumph. Raven hugged Robin and kissed his on the cheek. She then looked and gasped.

Raven ran over to Turk's limp body. His back was bent at an odd angle, and his breathing was very shallow. His face had taken on a pale effect. Raven lifted his hand up and clenched it in hers.

"Turk, Turk! Say something!"

Turk opened his eyes and smiled. "Is he gone?"

Raven nodded. Robin stood beside her looking down at the fallen new-found friend.

Turk sighed and smiled faintly. "I hope he ain't coming back."

Raven nodded. "Me too."

Robin bent down beside him. "Turk, thank you so much for your help."

Turk nodded slightly. "That's okay, take care of your lady. All I ask of you is to bury me beneath the willow tree in the cemetery in your world. And to have the sword buried with me."

Starfire wiped several tears from her eyes as Beast Boy and Cyborg looked down at their feet.

Raven nodded. "Okay."

"And Robin…"

Robin looked at him with a look of sorrow. "Yeah?"

Turk chuckled slightly. "Don't lose your girl to anything. Cause I'll come back to haunt you."

Robin smiled. "I promise."

Turk smiled one last time. His breathing stopped completely and his eyes stared off into space. Raven took her hand and closed his eyes. She got to her feet and motioned for the soldiers to follow her with Turk.

Robin went over to where Trigon had been and picked up the sword. He marveled at its beauty. He then followed the others outside.

Author's Note:

Yes, Turk died. Yet he died a hero. He killed Trigon and saved everyone. Now, it's time to perform the funeral for the fallen hero.
