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 TWO

In a CRACK! of red lightning, Slade, Arella, and Titans West and East appeared.

"Okay, now where are we?" Beast Boy asked.

Starfire turned—

—and gasped.

Arella looked behind her. "What is it, Star-"

Her eyes went wide with shock. "NO!"

Upon her exclamation, the rest of the Titans turned - and gasped.

Arella dropped to her knees. "NO! NO! AZAR, NO!"

Azarath had been destroyed.

Barely anything remained of the dimension - no sky, just white. What had not been destroyed was engulfed in flames.

Jinx ran up to Arella, and Arella bawled into Jinx's arms.

Slade watched. "Yes, Arella. Look at it. Drink it in. Azarath has been completely destroyed."

"How could you?" Arella said, looking up, her grief and anger melting into one.

Slade scoffed. "You're asking the wrong person."

Arella realized.

Slade continued:

"This was all her fault. Her doing. I have no control over what actions Raven chooses to take regarding her life."

Jinx gasped and looked at the destroyed Azarath again.

Slade seemed maniacally pleased. "Yes, daughter. Witness the destruction your companion has caused. Soak it all up into those sponges you call eyes... She destroyed her hometown."

He looked at Jinx.

"She brought it all upon herself."

He paused.

"Soon she'll destroy the world with it."

He looked at Arella.

"You knew this was going to happen, Arella. We should have destroyed her when we had the chance."

This news cut the Titans a new one. They looked at Arella.

""We?"" asked Cyborg.

Slade walked away from everyone.

Aqualad sat down. "Okay, I'm totally lost..."

Starfire gasped. "You are the Juris who attempted to destroy Raven shortly after her birth!" she said, pointing to Slade.

Arella's eyes whirled to the villain. His eyes showed that Starfire figuring out the revelation wasn't exactly a complete surprise to him, but he was still a bit stunned nonetheless.

"So not everything Raven told you was a lie."

He turned back around.

"Doesn't that make you feel better?"

He walked back towards everybody.

"My... I'm impressed, Starfire. I certainly didn't expect you to figure it out, let alone after only one barely discernable hint..."

He paused.

"Except that Juris no longer exists. He was destroyed a long time ago. That day he tried to destroy Raven, what everyone in Azarath saw was his soul turned to stone."


Arella and Coman raced around the corner as Juris tried to toss baby Raven out the Great Door of Azarath – but before he could, an energy beam turned him to stone.
"Trigon took his body back to his world and replaced it with me, his General - then sent me to Earth - to lie in wait. But I am, and always will be, just Slade..."

Jinx was slowly realizing. Slade focused on her.

"Yes, daughter. You're not exactly human yourself. You didn't really think that big lightning attack you used to defeat my winged creatures in that battle was something a mere human with a little bit of magic skills could've pulled?"

Slade took another pause, letting it sink in to Jinx.

"No, Jinx. You're half a demon, too. You have the exact same powers as your little partner - only, she's now putting them to good use, like you were once doing..."

The news was a shock to Jinx. She dropped to her knees.

Slade snorted. "How ironic, isn't it? That right before she became corrupted, Raven chose to be with you - to stay by the side of someone who was named "Jinx?""

He turned to the destroyed Azarath.

"And look what your companionship did. She's about to destroy the world, and you can't stop her."

He walked away from everyone.

"I never wanted a daughter. That's why Tala and Buzz raised you. Because I wanted nothing to do with you."

Jinx was beginning to seeth.

"I was never there for you, daughter - because I had no need to."

Titans East was sneaking off towards the burning Azarath. "Don't bother looking for survivors," Slade said without turning around.

Jinx had reached her limit.

She bristled with purple energy as she charged Slade - and was blocked when Slade grabbed her face.

Jinx struggled, her arms flailing in a windmill.

"Would you like to know what Raven was seeing in those nightmares of hers?" Slade asked.

FLASH! He tossed her aside.

Jinx stumbled backwards - then fell to the ground.

"What have you done to her?" Arella asked Slade.

"Nothing she didn't ask for," he answered.

"Um, do we really need to be here?" Speedy asked.

Slade snapped his fingers. Titans East disappeared in a CRACK! of red lightning.

Terra looked at Jinx. "What did you do, Slade?"

"As I stated before: Nothing she didn't ask for."

FLASH! Jinx stood up and lurched backwards, as if hit by something in the chest. She landed sliding on her knees.


"NO! GO AWAY!"

A young Raven, around 12 years old or so, was screaming in her bed while above her floated the spectre of Trigon's head.


Jinx's eyes were WILD.

"Jinx?" asked Robin.

FLASH!


"NO, DAUGHTER! I HAVE COME TO CLAIM WHAT IS MINE!" The spectre laughed demonically.

Arella ran into Raven's room, straight to her daughter.

"GET AWAY FROM HERE, TRIGON! LEAVE MY DAUGHTER ALONE!"

The spectre laughed some more as it disappeared.

FLASH!


Jinx's head snapped back, her mouth twisted in an O of silent torture.

Slade watched, clearly grinning.

FLASH!


Beyond the Great Door of Azarath, in the Great Limbo Beyond, Trigon's upper eyes blasted Arella.

"FATHER, PLEASE! I BEG OF YOU! STOP!" the young Raven pleaded.

"HAH! WHY SHOULD I, DAUGHTER? ALL THAT I NEED LIES WITHIN YOU!"

Arella looked up. Her face was dry, wrinkled - old.

"NO!" screamed Raven.

FLASH!


Jinx's body started glowing with purple energy as she rolled back onto her knees, grimacing in pain, clutching her forehead.

FLASH!


Trigon blasted the wrinkled old Arella again.

"STOP!" screamed Raven.

In that instant, her black bird-shaped soul-self formed.


Jinx's own, purple cat-shaped soul-self had formed. Slade looked up, marveling at it. Jinx's face was twisted in pain.

Slade blasted Jinx's soul-self with an energy beam from his mask


Trigon blasted young Raven's soul-self with his upper eyes.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-"


The purple energy coursing through Jinx's body repaired her throat

"-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Her soul-self faded. She collapsed, grabbed by Cyborg. Slade snapped his fingers and disappeared in another CRACK! of red lightning.

"Know how get us back home to Earth?" Cyborg asked.

Jinx was about to say no, but stopped. "I - er somehow, I do..."

She concentrated and her soul-self formed to whisk them away.
