My Season 4 - VOL. III
Reunion, Part 5
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
Robin looked around. "Huh?" Somehow, he was in the first underground lair of Slade's.
Suddenly, an awful scream of pure agony suddenly echoed through the corridor.
Starfire's scream!
"STARFIRE!"
Running into the room it came from, Robin stopped. "NO!"
He stared at a fallen Starfire - whose skin was glowing orange with darker orange spots! Standing over her was—
Another Robin. 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?" asked Robin
"You failed them. You disobeyed Slade's orders - and his nanoscopic probes inside your friends did their job."
"What?" exclaimed Robin. "No! I remember that! I stopped Slade! I saved my friends! I saved St-"
"YOU SAVED NOTHING! Your friends are gone. And it's all because of you."
"No! That's not true!"
"It is! Accept it!" the red-eyed Robin clone spouted.
" No! I won't!"
"They relied on you, Robin. But you weren't good enough! You didn't have the experience. You were their leader - a snot-nosed punk still wet behind the ears, and they made you their LEADER! They trusted you, Robin. They waited for you, Robin. She waited for you." The charcoal-sketch Robin kicked Starfire's lifeless body. "They all waited for you to save them."
"I did!" Robin protested.
"YOU DIDN'T!" replied the other Robin.
"I DID!"
"NO! YOU DIDN'T! THEY'RE GONE, ROBIN - EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOUR FRIENDS IS NOW GONE - AND IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!"
"That's not true!" screamed Robin.
"IT IS!" his clone shot back. "ADMIT IT! YOU'RE WEAK, ROBIN! YOU'RE USELESS! AND BECAUSE OF THAT, SLADE ANNIHILATED YOUR FRIENDS!"
"THAT'S NOT TRUE! IT DIDN'T HAPPEN LIKE THAT! I BEAT SLADE! MY FRIENDS LIVED!"
"ACCEPT THE TRUTH, ROBIN!" the red-eyed Robin shot back. "You failed. YOU FAILED. But there's one way to yet save them, Robin: Go back to being what you were before you met them - useless. All you are without them is NOTHING!"
Robin was furious. "NO! SHUT UP! JUST SHUT UP! DON'T SAY THAT! DON'T YOU DARE SAY THAT!"
He plunged his fist into the clone Robin's face.
Cyborg looked around. He was in the Jump City Park!
Suddenly, he saw her.
"SARASIM?"
Sarasim was backing up against a tree, very alarmed.
Cyborg walked over to her. "Sarasim? Wh- how'd you - in the fut-"
"STAY BACK!" she screamed. "STAY BACK, WHOEVER YOU ARE!"
"Sarasim? It's me, Cyborg-" He reached his hand out—
"MONSTER! DO NOT COME NEAR ME! DO NOT TOUCH ME, MONSTER! STAY AWAY FROM ME!" she shrieked.
"Hey, freak! Hands off the lil' warrior!"
Cyborg turned to see the source of the voice. "Lil'- WHAT?"
A red-eyed, charcoal sketch-skinned version of himself when he was a regular human, stood tall.
Sarasim looked over and gave a sigh of relief. "Oh, it is you, Stone - thank the Ancient Ones that you have come."
"But Sarasim –" Cyborg protested, "I-I'm the real one here-"
"I promised I'd be there if you needed assistance, Sarasim - and so I am here." The red-eyed Stone turned to Cyborg. "Now, who's the freak show?"
"What- what's going on here!" asked Cyborg, backin up.
Sarasim grabbed her sword from behind the tree and slammed it into Cyborg's skull, the steel echoing with a PAYAYAYAYANG!
Red lightning crackled as the evil Raven watched the bridge of bodies shift a little bit - Terra coming up & around.
Red lightning crashed.
"I - I - BEAST BOY?"
Terra watched in horror as a red-eyed, charcoal-sketch-skinned version of herself in her black t-shirt and yellow shorts, stood over a pinned Beast Boy with a dagger rock at the ready. "Terra - no!" Beast Boy pleaded. The charcoal-skinned Terra grinned a sneer. "Yes." The dagger rock fell on Beast Boy. He disappeared beneath the tremendous amount of debris.
"BEAST BOY!" Terra screamed. Her eyes turned yellow as she threw her arms out and the pile of rocks exploded into the air in every direction. And underneath was revealed - nothing! Beast Boy wasn't there!
"WHAT?" Terra shrieked. "Bring him back! What did you - BRING HIM BACK! Beast Boy!"
"Too late, Terra. He's gone." Her red-eyed clone cackled.
"NO!"
"He's gone and he'll never come back. He doesn't deserve to come back. Just as you didn't deserve to return, either."
"What?" asked Terra.
A huge boulder slammed into Terra from behind.
Red lightning crackled again as Evil Raven watched the bridge of stone bodies shift some more - Starfire came up.
Thunder crashed.
"I am - back on Tamaran - but how-"
Starfire turned - and stared at her home city - or what was left of it.
"X'HAL! What has happened to my people?" she cried, seeing her palace burning.
Then a red-eyed, charcoal-sketch-skinned version of herself walked down a destroyed stairway quite menacingly. Starfire gaped.
"It was the Drenthax army!" The clone sneered at Starfire. "They did this! And it all was due to you!"
"What!" asked Starfire. "The Drenthax army was exposed to be a set up by my sister in order to-"
"Look into the past, Starfire! You did not marry Glrdlesklechhh! Once he returned to his homeland of the swamp moons of Drenthax Four, he called upon his true army! They came - and with the help of Blackfire, they were quite quickly able to annihilate all Tamaran!"
"No! That is not true!" Starfire protested.
"It is! It is all your fault, Starfire - you forsook your homeworld! They were not even able to give Galfore a proper Lurbnai! And it is all due to one choice that you made, Starfire!"
"NO! Tamaran is not destroyed! I do not believe any of what you tell me!"
The red-eyed Starfire blasted Starfire with a red starbolt, sending her slamming into a nearby crumbling wall. The second Starfire grinned.
Red lightning crackled again as Raven watched the bridge of stone bodies shift once more - Beast Boy came up.
"Huh? Guys? Terra?" as Beast Boy looked around. Somehow, he was in Slade's second underground cavern.
Suddenly, a red-eyed, charcoal-sketch-skinned version of , walked in - right next to the still-stone Terra!
"Terra kinda can't join you, dude..."the grey clone told him.
"No!" cried Beast Boy. "She's alive! I was just with her!"
"You were? Then why'd she leave you?"
"She didn't!" Beast Boy stammered. "We were fighting-"
"Fighting? Well, no wonder she left!" the charcoal Beast Boy interrupted.
"No! Not like that! We were fighting with Raven-"
"Raven's interested in you? That's new."
"Y-what? No! Shut up!" Beast Boy stumbled over his words. "She's not!"
"Anyway," the red-eyed Beast Boy said, "My point is: Terra's not here, and it's all your fault!"
"THAT'S A LIE!" Beast Boy growled.
Raven grinned maliciously as she watched the bridge of stone bodies containing the Titans slowly shift again.
Arella watcheed from her hiding place, shaking in fear.
Thunder roared.
Slade and Jinx - her pink hair down, as it had been for a while - stood nearby like cowboys in a duel. Slade charged up flames around his fists. Jinx's eyes crackled with purple energy.
"I'll only destroy you if you make the first move, daughter." Slade looked at Jinx. "Go ahead now."
Jinx didn't budge. "No. You go first. I insist. You want to destroy me so badly, then you shouldn't have a problem with attacking me first."
Slade smiled under the mask.
He allowed himself a snicker. "Ah. So you are my daughter. I guess we are so much more alike than I thought."
The purpled energy racing through Jinx's eyes glowed brighter.
She started circling him.
Slade circled her in defense.
Jinx glared. "I'm nothing like you."
"We were both evil once."
"That doesn't count."
"Why doesn't it count? It's true."
"True it may be –" said Jinx, "but it doesn't count."
Slade charged.
Jinx followed.
