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 THREE

Jinx's soul-self deposited everyone back at the former battlefield in the desert.

Starfire gasped, along with Beast Boy, Arella, and Jinx.

"What the-?" Robin asked.

Cyborg saw. "NO!"

All the members of Titans East had been turned to stone.

In fact, all the villains and allies in the battle with Slade's army were now part of a massive, connected bridge of stone bodies, a bridge which stretched into the city.


Almost the entire city was encased in stone. Hundreds of similar bridges of stone bodies - made up of the many civilian citizens, criss-crossed everywhere around it.

Cars lied twisted in stone streets.

Buildings choked in the sulfuric air, prisons for silence.


On the waterfront, Bruce Clark, his face twisted into the TV camera, peered out at the stone Titans Tower with his own stone eyes.

The water in Jump City Bay had turned from black into shiny obsidian.


Starfire pointed. "Our Tower!"
Trigon was sitting in a stone chair - his own stone throne which was now perched on top of the roof of the Tower.

But - he wasn't moving. His head is tilted down, and his eyes were closed - as if he was asleep.


"He doesn't seem awake," noted Cyborg.

"No. He rests while he gathers souls-" Arella motioned to the stone bridges. "-to gain his power and strengthen it."

Starfire readied her starbolts. "Shall we attack now?"

Robin batted her hand down. "No. I doubt he's vulnerable."

"Yeah," said Beast Boy, "look how that ring of rock's just spreadin' out over the whole city."

Terra looked defeated. "I wouldn't be surprised if it was like this all over the world, too."

Beast Boy sighed. "Y'know, I would've preferred to fight that dude in Raven's mind again, rather than this..."

"I second that motion," said Cyborg.

Jinx's eyes were already beginning to tear. "Well, we can't live in the past, guys."

"No."

All the Titans whirled around. Slade stood behind them.

"But the past is the path to your future."

"GENERAL! STAND DOWN!"

Slade looked as the now-evil Raven descended. He looked at the Titans.

"And the past can destroy the present."

"SILENCE, GENERAL!"

Slade looked at the Titans as he backed into the shadows. Evil Raven glared at her former team and companion with her four red eyes. Her red skin seemed to shine as she gave a horrific grin.

"FRIENDS! I AM PLEASED TO SEE YOU! TRIGON HAS NEED OF YOU - AS HIS SLAVES!"

Summoning up some of her dark magic spells, Raven sent wave after wave of crackling red lightning at her former friends!

Jinx was the only one capable of blocking it. However, the others were not quite so lucky, and were all sent flying backwards by the force of the lightning's impact.

Raven's upper eyes opened as they all got up—

—and while Jinx flew out of the way, all the other Titans were hit with a dark red energy shockwave blast. It went on forever, and they all writhed in agony from the new attack.

"Raven! Please stop! We are your friends!" Starfire pleaded through her pain.

Robin crumpled to his knees. "W-what's she doing to us? Feel so... weak..."

Cyborg fell to the ground. "Augh! Shockwave...messin' up...my systems...arghhh!"

"Raven! C'mon!" Beast Boy lurched in pain. "Stop this! We're your friends! You - arrgh - you can't do this to us!"

Terra, in pain, struggled to move. "She - she doesn't care about us anymore, Beast Boy - arrrggggghh!" She fell to her knees. "She's been taken over by Trigon!"

Meanwhile, Arella had disappeared.

Evil Raven had not noticed her mother was anywhere. She continued to send the torturous shockwave at her friends.

"Stop destroying them, Raven!"

A hex whipped Evil Raven off her feet. Her head slammed into the ground. She looked up. It was Jinx, hovering in the air.

"YOU?"

Jinx pleaded with everything she could. "Raven, please, don't do this - I really don't want to hurt you! We were so close - tell me you remember that! Please - it's Trigon we want - not you! We're your friends - we all love you – please don't make us destroy you—"

She paused; whimpering at first, then she began sobbing.

"Please don't force me to destroy you…"

"LOVE?" the red-skinned Raven roared.

The shockwave blast slammed into Jinx.

"THERE IS NO LOVE! THERE IS ONLY FEAR!"

Jinx started falling from the sky.

"YOU WILL OBEY THE LAWS OF TRIGON BECAUSE YOU FEAR HIS REPRISALS!"

Jinx slammed through a rock-encrusted building.

"YOU WILL OBEY HIS EVERY COMMAND FOR FEAR OF THE ALTERNATIVE!"

Raven sent a wave of red lightning at Jinx.

"WITHIN YOU ALL, EVIL LIES DORMANT. WITH MY HELP, THAT EVIL SHALL AWAKEN AND BE PLEDGED TO SERVE TRIGON FOREVER MORE!"

Suddenly, a bullet of flames slammed into Evil Raven's back.

When the Daughter of Trigon recovered, she saw it was:

Slade.

"WHAT?"

"What?" Robin was equally stunned.

"Huh?" Terra was just the same.

"Dad?" Jinx asked, perplexed.

Raven was furious. "INSOLENCE! YOU SHALL PAY FOR YOUR SUBORDINATION, GENERAL!"

"Silence, Raven. You may do what you wish to any of the other Titans here."

Slade looked at Jinx.

"But if anyone's going to destroy my daughter - it's going to be me."

Raven stared at Slade with her four red eyes.

Slade almost stared her down.

But Raven backed off. "VERY WELL. DESTROY HER, IF YOU WISH TO."

She turned to the other Titans.

"AS FOR THE REST OF YOU—"

She sent another wave of red lightning at them. She followed it up with another shockwave blast, just for good measure.

"YOU ARE TO BE THE SLAVES OF TRIGON! AS I BOW TO HIM, SO SHALL YOU BOW! AS I WORSHIP HIS EVIL, SO SHALL YOU! MY SOUL HAS BEEN CLEAVED BETWEEN THE LIGHT AND THE DARK, AND SHALL YOURS! AND YOU SHALL EMBRACE HIS WAY AS YOUR OWN!"

Wrapping Terra, Beast Boy, Starfire, Cyborg, and Robin in a cloak of dark energy, she lifted them high up into the air.

Red lightning started crashing like crazy everywhere around.

"GO NOW! RETURN - RETURN TO WHERE YOUR SOUL SHALL BE DESTROYED! WHAT YOU WERE—WHAT YOU ARE— ALL HAS ENDED AS OF NOW!"

Red lightning CRACKED.


"Huh?" Robin looked around. He was in Slade's first underground lair!

Starfire's scream suddenly echoed through the walls.

"STARFIRE!"

Running into the room it came from, Robin stared at a fallen Starfire - whose skin was all orange, with darker orange spots!

Then - another Robin walked in. Except that he was wearing the suit Slade had forced him to wear when he was the villain's apprentice, and this Robin looked less like an actual human - his skin and clothes were the color and shade of a charcoal paper sketch. And this Robin had two red eyes.

"Look what your failure has done," the charcoal Boy Wonder directed at Robin.

"What?" Robin asked.


Slade landed at the base of the stone Titans Tower, looking around.

Jinx, carrying Arella, landed quietly, and beckoned Arella to hide quickly.

Arella went into hiding in a corner of rock that shielded her from all sides except the front..

Footsteps crunched behind Slade

"How willing are you, daughter?" he asked, turning to Jinx.

Jinx glared. Her eyes began to glow purple.

"Raven was willing to destroy herself for me. I will do the same for her."

"All the way, huh? You must truly care for Raven, then, my dear daughter..."

Slade charged up some fireballs. Jinx's eyes crackled with purple energy. Arella watched from hiding, terrified.
