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 TWO
Slade swung a fireball punch at Jinx as they met—
—but Jinx dodged and drove a hex-powered uppercut right into Slade's jaw, connecting with a blistering CRACK! that sent him soaring backward through the air in a huge arc.
At the arc's peak, though, Slade fired up his rocket boots, righted himself, leaned forward and barreled back towards Jinx. As he sped towards her, his whole body seemed to ignite into flame, making him a demon torch missile, moving way too fast for Jinx to dodge—
—so she summoned her soul-self to dodge it instead. Slade passed harmlessly through the purple cat, and banked hard as Jinx reappeared from it and flew off away from him. His body de-ignited as he rocketed back to chase her in the air.
"Here kitty kitty kitty..." Slade taunted. "Daddy's got a nice little treat for you!"
He hurled a line of fire at Jinx. It slammed into her back, knocking her off her flying disc. She fell through the air.
"What comes up must go down," Slade noted.
"But cats always land on their FEET!" Jinx countered.
FOOM! She sent out another massive blast of purple energy lightning, which completely tore up the ground below her, but slowed her descent as a parachute would.
She landed like a feather on the most delicate of tiptoe.
Slade raised an eyebrow. "Impressive."
Jinx's eyes crackled purple. "Who said I was trying to impress you?"
Slade scoffed. "Every child wants to impress their parents."
"Yeah, well, I'm not every child!"
Slade deflected her lightning attack as he zoomed towards her.
"You're my child."
Jinx waited as he approached, getting the timing just right—
"SO WHAT?"
—and when he reached her, she ran up his face and flipped off him, kicking the back of his head hard as she did so. Slade was too close to the ground, and his head slammed into it as he rolled over. But as he came out of the roll, he turned and launched pellets of fire at her like machine gun bullets - all of which Jinx acrobatically avoided, then jumped into the air, aiming a crushing spin-kick to his face.
Her kick didn't connect, because Slade turned into an orange and-black rat and scuttled out of the way, leaving Jinx to summon her soul-self before her foot hit the ground, saving her leg from snapping like a twig on impact.
She reappeared out of the soul-self.
"That doesn't make me want to impress you."
Slade turned back to his normal form.
"Ah, but if you defeat me - then I'll be impressed..."
WHAM! Jinx caught him off guard with a hook to his gut.
"I planned on defeating you long before we started this, so that doesn't count."
Slade huffed. "Does anything actually count with you?"
He sent a blast of fire lightning at her with a CRACK!
Robin recoiled off of a punch from the red-eyed Robin, and was hit again with a spin-kick.
"Face it, Robin!" his doppelganger lectured. "You failed! You did give up on your friends! And one by one... Slade destroyed them. You did what you are - NOTHING!"
"SHUT UP!" Robin bellowed. "IT'S NOT TRUE! MY FRIENDS ARE ALIVE! I DEFEATED SLADE!"
Whipping out his bo staff, he delivered a solid THWACK!ing blow, which knocked his counterpart back a few feet.
The grey-toned Robin retaliated by grabbing the bo staff on Robin's next swing, breaking off the end, and driving it into the upper left area of Robin's chest like a plunger - causing Robin to spin around from the angle and force of the impact—
—directly into a roundhouse clothesline from his clone. Robin was sent sprawling.
The charcoal-skinned Robin walked over to him. "Oh, but it's true, Robin. You know it's true. You're nothing but a kid. And it makes you angrier & angrier the more that you think about it."
"SHUT UP!" Robin exploded. "Look, I don't who you are, or where you came from-"
"Oh, but I'm you, Robin!"
"NO! YOU'RE NOT!"
"The only way you can prove it is for you to destroy me."
Robin was furious.
"THEN I'LL DESTROY YOU!"
His bo staff hit the sneering other Robin with a PAAANG!
Cyborg fell from another blow to his head from Sarasim.
"What are you doing?" Cyborg protested to her. "It's me! I'm the re-"
"Sorry, pal," the red-eyed Stone told him. "Sarasim knows a fraud when she sees one! Ain't that right, honey?"
CLANG! This time, Sarasim's attack was blocked by Cyborg. The charcoal-skinned Stone promptly came up behind and slammed Cyborg's head into the soil.
"You're the fake, Cyborg! And you hate it, don't you? Every time, it's like someone forgets & has to drive it into your skull like a nail! You're only human! You're part machine! You've got limits to what you can do, restrictions on your capabilities! You used to be an athlete, one who always pushed harder in order to get better. You claimed to be a warrior who fought with honor and bravery. You claimed yourself to be a man! Tell me: Where is the honor in fighting with the help of artificial means? That is not a true man!"
Cyborg got to his feet and rammed his clone through 4 trees.
The grey Stone only laughed. "Four! You can do better! Wanna know how? Give up the parts that keep you alive!"
"I can't..." Cyborg growled.
"Why not?"
"Because then I won't be alive!"
"And no one will care! No one will care! Only that will prove you a man!"
"Or I could just DESTROY YOU!" Cyborg bellowed. BLAM! His sonic cannon sent the doppelganger Stone through 8 trees.
Terra slid backward as pieces of rock scattered around her. The red-eyed Terra sneered as she walked up to her.
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO BEAST BOY?" Terra yelled at her clone.
She sends the pebbles at the grey Terra, who easily avoided them.
"It's not what I did, Terra. It's what you did."
Another rock slammed into Terra's side.
"You destroyed him. All of them."
Another rock walloped Terra from her other side.
Terra hit her doppelganger with a regular punch, but the clone recovered quickly and knocked Terra on her back with a sweep kick.
"YOU TRIED TO EXTINGUISH THEIR LIVES! And do you think they've forgotten about that? Do you think he's forgotten that? You've done horrible things. Unforgivable things. You betrayed your friends. And no matter your heroic little sacrifice, they will not forget. Beast Boy's already gone. And soon the others will leave you alone. Again. You came back for no reason, Terra. Right now, you're just a zombie. That's what you were before, and it's what you are now: A zombie. A reanimated, lifeless thing, with NO PURPOSE BEING ALIVE!"
"NO!" Terra screamed. "I DON'T BELIEVE YOU! YOU'RE LYING!"
The cavern started shaking. Huge rocks cracked out of the roof.
"The only way to prove a truth wrong is to destroy every trace of it, Terra," the charcoal-skinned Terra taunted.
"THEN I'LL DESTROY EVERY TRACE OF YOU!"
She sent the huge rocks at her clone. They hit with a CRACK!
Starfire slammed into ground from the red-eyed Starfire's starbolt.
"You forget your place, Starfire! You are a Princess of Tamaran! Your duty is to your people! But there is a way to yet save Tamaran from total destruction! You must marry The Glrdlsklechhh! Only then will you be able to see your people return, rejoice to be alive after so much chaos!"
"I will not believe your LIES!" Starfire screamed. She rolled out of hiding and blasted her twin with her own starbolts. Her doppelganger quickly recovered.
"How can you prove what I am saying is a lie, young Princess?" the charcoal-skinned Starfire sneered.
"BY DESTROYING YOU!" Starfire screamed.
FOOM! A massive starbolt slammed into the other Starfire.
A grey, red-eyed tiger rammed Beast Boy's chest. It quickly turned back into the charcoal-skinned, red-eyed Beast Boy clone.
"Terra's not here. She hasn't come back."
"I DON'T BELIEVE YOU!" Beast Boy snarled.
The cavern shook. The still-stone Terra was crushed by the falling rocks from the roof above!
"NO!" Beast Boy screamed.
"Yeah, you do believe me," the doppelganger sneered.
"YOU'RE GOING DOWN FOR THAT!"
Beast Boy turned into a dragon, clasped the other Beat Boy in his claws, and in a blind fury, let out the loudest roar.
Raven turned from watching the Slade/Jinx battle to see Arella near the stone bridge of bodies with the Titans on it.
"WOMAN!" she furiously roared. "BACK AWAY! TRIGON'S TIME APPROACHES! GO FURTHER TOWARDS THEM WHILE I MANIPULATE THEIR MINDS AND I SWEAR TO YOU, MOTHER OR NO, I WILL—"
Arella already had both hands on the stone bridge.
"INSOLENCE!"
However, Raven's upper eyes blast was somehow deflected!
Arella stiffened. "The souls of your friends will not allow you to harm me, Raven!"
"FOOLISH WOMAN! IN A MOMENT, THEIR ACTS OF DESTRUCTION INSIDE THEIR MINDS SHALL DESTROY ANY TRACE OF THEIR INDEPENDENT SOULS - AND THEY WILL BE SLAVES OF HIM!"
The whole ground shook. The stone bridge started crumbling.
Robin punched the clone Robin.
Cyborg blasted the grey Stone with his sonic cannon.
Terra dropped a huge boulder on top of the charcoal-skinned Terra.
Starfire sent a concussive starbolt at the doppelganger Starfire.
Dragon Beast Boy spouted a river of fire at the red-eyed Beast Boy.
"HE HAS WON!" the Daughter of Trigon rejoiced.
The stone bridge of bodies collapsed, revealing the Titans' Evil Selves - all black skin with red outlines.
The Evil Selves of the Titans all sneered.
