The 2nd Teen Titans Fanscript – Fanfic Adaptation

Author's Note: The plot for Abashed Enchanters is as follows: Jinx defects to the Titans, quickly quelling thoughts that she's trying to subvert them, and soon becomes a powerful new addition and friend to the group. But when an unexpected attraction starts forming between her and Raven, both girls find themselves confused over their feelings and emotions - and Cyborg finds himself needing a more efficient circuit breaker for his jealousy fuse.
ACT TWO
Still crouched on one knee, Raven glared at Slade from underneath her hood.
"Slade..."
Slade lowered his head to glare back
"Raven. How nice of you to drop in."
Cyborg's sonic cannon powered up with a whine.
Jinx's eyes started crackling with purple energy, the excess of it shooting out of her fingertips in the form of pink energy lightning.
"I was beginning to think I wasn't going to have any fun in here," Slade taunted.
"Get out of my mind..." Raven growled angrily.
"Sorry, but it's taken much longer to get my plans out of my head than I expected it to. However, I'm almost done, so I hope you don't mind me passing through."
Cyborg leapt at Slade. "The only thing you'll be passing through is my FIST!"
Cyborg swung the punch - and hit air. He tumbled to the ground.
Slade stood over him, looking down at him. "You think you can take me, Cyborg?"
Cyborg was up faster than Slade could react. "You bet your-" His punch to Slade's face drowned out his voice for a second "-I do!"
Slade barely stumbled back before regaining his balance.
"You might want to check that chip in your back," he told Cyborg.
"Huh?" asked Cyborg. "AUGH!" he cried as his body erupted with sparks and electrical discharge.
"There could be some faulty wiring to your brain," Slade continued.
"CYBORG!" Jinx yelled, all the crackling purple energy dissipating from her.
Cyborg reached backwards for the spot where the interference was originating. For some reason, he couldn't get to it, even with the cables from his arms. "AUGH!" he screamed as the chip sent pain coursing through his body. "I can't reach it! AHH! Why can't I reach it?" ARGHHHHH!" He fell to his knees, almost doubling over in pain.
"What did you do to him?" Raven said, getting angrier.
Jinx ran over to Cyborg and attempted to help him, but the instant she touched him, a blast of electrical discharge sent her rocketing backwards. She slammed into the ground.
Slade put his hand up to a button on his left armband.
"I press this - he shuts down forever."
"Press THIS!" Jinx yelled. All her crackling pink energy returned in a flash as she fired some pink energy lightning mixed with explosive hexes. All of her attack appeared to hit Slade as a cloud of dust was thrown up from all the explosions of the hexes..
But when the cloud cleared, Slade was still there.
Jinx gasped. In the background, Cyborg grimaced in pain.
"WHAT?" Raven yelled.
Slade almost laughed. "You didn't think I just wore this suit because it's comfortable, now, did you?"
Raven stood up.
"Jinx - back down."
"Huh?" However confused she was, Jinx obeyed Raven's request.
Raven moved in front of her. "Watch Cyborg," she told Jinx.
She turned her gaze to Slade.
"He's mine."
"Finally." Slade had been waiting. "A real fight."
"This isn't a fight." Raven glared.
Slade raised an eyebrow. "Oh?"
Raven lowered her glare.
"It's personal."
"Hmm... Strong words."
He set his stance.
"I wonder how long you can keep being this angry."
"Well I guess you'll just have to FIND OUT!" Raven screamed, attacking. Slade barely dodged her overhead punch. Her fist slammed into the ground, throwing up chunks of rock like confetti.
Slade didn't even have time to recover before a backhand sent him sprawling.
"Get up!" Raven yelled. She kicked him in the chest, sending him about 20 fet in the air. The crater he made when he smashed into the ground was enormous. All of Limbo again shook upon the impact.
"Had enough?" Raven said as Slade got up.
"Hardly," Slade replied.
He lunged at her - and actually connected with his punch.
However, his next one was blocked as Raven grabbed his arm and flipped him over her back as she spun away from him. Slade threw out his legs as he hit the ground, tripping her. "OOF!" Raven grunted as she hit the ground.
"Why aren't you using your powers?" he asked her.
"Because I don't feel like it," Raven shot back.
"Oh, c'mon - there's gotta be a better reason than that."
"Fine - because I'd have already won!" Still on the ground, she spun around and kicked him in the face, twisting him onto his back.
Slade backflipped and caught her head in a tight scissors lock between his boots. He front-flipped to his feet, throwing her a bit of a distance down the path.
He got out his bo staff as if he were drawing a switchblade while he slowly walked over to her.
"You must be very angry with me to be fighting me without your powers," Slade said as he approached her.
Raven got up. "You don't even know the meaning of angry!"
Slade threw up his staff to block her kick, and he surprisingly did block it—
—but she grabbed the bo staff and swung over it like a gymnast on high bars, driving a two-legged, flat-footed SMACK into Slade's chest on the downswing, which sent him back a bit.
Slade regained his balance and charged at her with his bo staff drawn like a sword. He SWUNG it at her about five times, clipping her chin once, missing completely every other time.
He swung at her again—
—and she grabbed the staff from him.
Caught off guard, Slade stepped back with hesitation.
That hesitation was all the chance Raven needed. She delivered a pummeling attack with the bo staff, slamming it into his back, his chest, his legs, his arms, his face - almost everywhere on Slade's body was hit at least 2 or 3 times.
On the fourth swing of the bo staff, Slade grabbed it and kicked her in the chest, hard. Raven went soaring back a few feet. Her back whacked against the tree on the path. The impact to the tree snapped a few branches off of it.
Slade charged her again—
—however, this time he ended up pinning her against the tree trunk with the bo staff - which he had against her body just a few spots below her neck, which caused her to start coughing due to a partial bit of choking. Slade caught that little tidbit, and immediately started moving the bo staff up her body until it was choking her by being presed up against her neck.
Raven struggled to break his grip as Slade kept increasing the pressure, so much that his face ended up about two inches from hers.
"RAVEN!" Jinx yelled, worried.
"What's wrong?" Slade asked Raven.
Cyborg, his body still going haywire, watched with complete horror. "C'mon, Raven - ARGHHH!"
"Can't breathe?" Slade continued taunting Raven.
Jinx's eyes started to water with tears of worry. "RAVEN! HANG IN THERE! FIGHT IT! FIGHT HIM-" she said, those last two words a tearful whisper. Please – no – not now…
Raven struggled a bit more. However, she didn't appear to have the strength be able to free herself this time. Slade appeared to grin under his mask, satisfied with the outcome it looked like this action of his was going to have.
"I wonder how your other friends are doing at the moment," he said maliciously.
Robin, Starfire, and Beast Boy frantically tried to load sandbags around the rapidly rising water surrounding the Tower. It was definitely not working.
"I cannot stop the water from rising!" Starfire exclaimed.
"Titans! Retreat!" Robin yelled. "Get to higher ground and start piling sandbags there!"
The entire trunk of the tree Raven was pinned against suddenly cracked completely in half.
Raven's eyes turned white. Slade's eyes widened in fear.
FWA-KOOSH! A massive blast of dark energy from Raven's eyes sent Slade backwards at least fifty feet. The top half of the broken tree fell off the floating ground and somewhere into Limbo as Slade soared through the air and crashed into the ground, rolling backwards on the path upon impact. He grabbed his bo staff as he slowly got up – and watched in horror as it disintegrated in his hands!
Raven walked towards him, eyes burning with dark energy flame.
"Looks like I'll have to use my powers."
Suddenly, she lurched in pain. Her head snapped back in agony.
"RAVEN!" yelled Jinx.
Jinx watched in absolute horror as Slade laughed at Raven - who once again lurched back when she stepped forward again.
