My Season 4 - VOL. III

Reunion, Part 4

The 6th Teen Titans Fanscript – Fanfic Adaptation

By RavenStar


Author's Note:
The plot of "Reunion" is as follows: Jinx has switched sides. Slade has returned. Terra's back. What could possibly happen to the Titans next? Then Raven gets a visitor. Let the nightmare begin.

Note #1: OneLine appears briefly in Part 3, as well as do four other fancharacters I created for my first fanscript – villains called The Writer, The Director, The Cameraman, and The Producer. The fanscript those three characters has been adapted and posted up here – it is my story "Behind The Scenes."

Note #2:
"Reunion" draws HEAVILY from the 80's comics. ALL of Reunion, Part 1 is dialogue, with no fight scenes – the only fights in Part 1 are arguments. It might seem boring for some people, but trust, all of it will pay off in the end.


ACT ONE

Red lightning crackled around Raven as Trigon leered behind her. Slade stood off to Raven's left. Raven was making a speech.

"THIS WORLD, CONCEIVED IN ETERNAL DARK, AND BORN IN SOLAR LIGHT, HAS THRIVED SINCE ITS CREATION, A SYMBOL OF SELF-DETERMINATION THROUGHOUT THE UNIVERSE."

Trigon grinned a most evil grin.

"THIS DAY, SUCH INDEPENDENCE ENDS."


The five people foolishly brave enough to stay where they were at the waterfront cowered in total fear as Raven loomed over them.


"THIS DAY IS THE BEGINNING OF A NEW ERA."


The crowd of heroes and villains in the Jump City Desert, who all just unexpectedly teamed up as allies together in a massive battle, gaped.


"FROM THIS DAY ON, YOUR PETTY LIVES WILL BE CONTROLLED BY MY FATHER, TRIGON!"

Red lightning crashed at the sound of Trigon's name.


Reporter Bruce Clark and his cameraman, Harry, were watching from the waterfront.

"Bruce, man - let's get outta' here!" Harry whined.

"No way! I've got an exclusive! Now get a wide shot and then pull in, will ya'?" Bruce commanded.

Harry grudgingly obliged.


In the desert, tears fell over Arella's face as she watched her twisted daughter give the royal manifesto speech.

Jinx noticed, and reached upto clutch Arella's hand.

Tears were also in Jinx's eyes.


"KNOW THAT FROM NOW ON, ANY FORM OF RESISTANCE IS FUTILE! MY FATHER HAS DESTROYED WORLDS FAR GREATER THAN THIS. HE IS BEING MORE THAN KIND TO YOU ALL BY ALLOWING THIS WORLD ITS EXISTENCE!"


Harry was getting jumpier. "Bruuuce...c'mon, man - let's GO!"

"NO! Keep the camera rolling, Harry!"


"WITHIN TWENTY-FOUR HOURS, ALL THE LEADERS OF THIS WORLD SHALL PLEDGE THEIR DEVOTION TO TRIGON - OR THEY SHALL BE DESTROYED AND REPLACED!"

Raven turned to look at everyone in the desert.

"ALL YOUR SOLDIERS SHALL CARRY THEIR WEAPONS AND MARCH IN THE NAME OF TRIGON - OR THEY, TOO, SHALL BE DESTROYED AND REPLACED JUST THE SAME!"


Everyone on the former battlefield suddenly got a little apprehensive.


Raven turned to the few people on the Waterfront.

"ALL COMMONERS SHALL FOLLOW HIS WORDS, OR HE WILL NOT HESITATE TO DESTROY YOU!"


Harry backed up in fear. "C'mon, Bruce - LET'S GO!"


"THERE WILL BE NO FURTHER WARNINGS! THERE SHALL BE NO FURTHER DISSENTION!"
"NO! Harry, stay where you are! I wanna leave too, but something's telling me t- Harry?" Bruce looked behind him.

Harry had dropped the camera and was tearing down the road!

"HARRY!"


Trigon took notice of the cameraman fleeing away from him.

The upper eyes on his head GLOWED with yellow energy


"HARRY!"

Harry screamed as the blast from Trigon's upper eyes slammed into his spine, sending him careening into a building wall.


Everyone in the desert averted their eyes at the impact of Trigon's stare.

Only the Titans - both West and East - and Arella turned back to look upon the aftermath of Trigon's destructive gaze.


When the smoke cleared—

—Harry had been turned to stone! He was fused to the wall, his face twisted into one of utter agonizing pain.

"HARRY!" Bruce screamed.


Trigon gazed at the rest of the people on the Waterfront.

He nodded back to Raven, and stood down while she continued her address.

"ANY ACT OF SEDITION WILL BE IMMEDIATELY ANSWERED FOR, AND THE PERPETRATORS SHALL FIND PUNISHMENT IN EXACTLY THE SAME FATE AS YOU WERE JUST BEHOLDEN TO!"


Bruce Clark cautiously picked up Harry's camera.

He aimed it back at Titans Tower.


On a TV screen somewhere in Jump City, all of the Titans' now-stone island was in view. The image shook worse than San Francisco in an earthquake.

"Bruce Clark here for No. 2 News on Channel 10, live at Waterfront. I must apologize for the instability of the image you are currently viewing, but I've just lost my cameraman and am now carrying the camera myself, whilst I am also attempting to hold and speak into my microphone at the very same time."

The camera zoomed in on Trigon atop the stone Titans Tower.

"Right now, you are seeing what was just seconds ago Titans Tower, a sleek steel symbol of peace, order, and justice. Now, it has become a T-shaped slab of rock, and a symbol for all that is terrifying and grotesque in the world. This being you see standing on top of it, his name is Trigon the Terrible. His daughter Raven, a member of the Titans, is floating in front of him."

The image moved in, now focusing solely on Trigon's face.

"It's become clear that it is he who is responsible for the phenomenon in the Earth's weather system that has been all the news this past day and a half-wait, it appears he's about to speak."


Trigon's voice boomed over the city.

"YOUR PLANET IS MINE, AS ARE ALL YOUR LIVES AND SOULS!"


""Your planet is mine, as are all your lives and souls...""
"YOU WILL OBEY MY EVERY COMMAND WITHOUT HESITATION!"


""You will obey my every command without hesitation...""


"FAILURE TO DO SO IS TREASON-"


""Failure to do so is treason...""


"-AND I DO NOT TOLERATE TREASON TO ANY DEGREE!"


""And I do not tolerate treason to any degree...""


"PUNISHMENT FOR SUCH ACTIONS WILL BE SWIFT!"


""Punishment for such actions will be swift...""


Trigon's upper eyes started glowing again.


The glowing was almost blinding through the TV camera's lens. The TV screen seemed to be bathed in light.

"Bruce Clark here. Trigon's stopped talking, it appears."

The upper eyes got brighter.

"And it appears now that - that his upper eyes have opened again, for the second time today –"

The glow from Trigon's upper eyes filled the image on the TV screen - it started to get a little static noise.

"They seem to be - they seem to be glowing very brightly at the moment, and they appear to be getting brighter-"

FWOOSH! Another energy beam fired straight at the camera! The whole screen immediately went static - then was replaced by a card that read: "Experiencing technical difficulties."


Trigon turned toward the desert.


Jinx stiffened in fear.


The Demon King stepped off the Titans' island and onto the water. The water turned black where he touched it. But he didn't sink.

Trigon proceeded to walk over to the desert in about 6 earth-shaking steps, all the water in the Bay turning black. He then beckoned to Slade, who was back at the Tower.


Slade heeded his master's call and flew over to the desert.


Trigon looked down at the battlefield and everyone on it.

Then - he saw Arella. His laugh was terrifyingly chilling.

"AH, THERE YOU ARE MY WIFE..."

Arella stiffened, suddenly seeming a bit more confident.

Trigon nodded over to Slade. "MY GENERAL WISHES TO SHOW YOU AND MY DAUGHTER'S FRIENDS SOMETHING IMPORTANT."

With a SNAP! of his fingers, Slade, Arella, and all of Titans West and East disappeared in a CRACK! of red lightning.

Trigon turned to everyone left on the battlefield.

"AS FOR YOU ALL..."

He snapped his fingers again.


All the four-eyed ravens swarmed from their perches on every building in Jump City—

—and headed for the crowd in the desert en masse.
