My Season 4 - VOL. III
Reunion, Part 6
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
Trigon stood on the obsidian sea behind the Titans' island.
"SUFFER THE TERROR OF TRIGON!" he bellowed.
All the Titans - save for Jinx, who was still mourning Raven - looked like shivering little toys as they GAPED up at Trigon.
"Ok;" said Terra, "he got a little bigger since we last saw him..."
"A LITTLE bigger?" spouted Beast Boy. "More like A LOT bigger!"
Cyborg was equally aghast. "It took all Raven's strength to defeat that incarnation of him inside her mind- how on earth are we gonna fight the real dude when he's twice the size and more powerful?" he asked.
Slade scoffed. "Don't tell me you're giving up so easily?"
"Who said anything about giving up? I'm just wonderin' how we're supposed to go at beatin' him!" Cyborg snapped back.
"With some help, perhaps?" Slade prodded.
"That would be nice, if Titans East weren't stone monuments in the desert. And my sensors ain't pickin' up any radio waves or any other types of signals anywhere...nothing's responding."
"Don't you have other options?" asked Slade. "Options for dealing with something like this?"
Cyborg looked down. "Well, normally right now, I'd send the signal that would bring all our vehicles together and combine into one giant robot - but seein' as our vehicles are more buried than Pompeii, we don't got that option anymore."
After a moment of silence, Slade responded. "Go on...what else?"
"Well –" Cyborg answered him, "that's the only option we had."
The two looked up at Trigon.
Trigon was relishing in something. "AHHHH...I FEEL THE POWER NOW!"
In outer space, the entire Earth was covered in stone and red lightning.
"FOUR BILLION SOULS, NOW IN MY POSSESSION!" roared Trigon. "THEIR ENERGIES GIVE ME STRENGTH! THEY WISH THEIR LIVES ENDED AND THEIR SOULS GRANTED FREEDOM, BUT I SHALL GIVE THEM NEITHER! THEY SUFFER ETERNALLY WHILE I DRAW CLOSER TO MY TRUE GOAL!"
"Curse you, Trigon, CURSE YOU!" screamed Arella. "EVERYTHING I've come to believe in now means NOTHING! AND IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF YOU!" Raven's mother teared up. "YOU TOOK MY DAUGHTER, RAVEN, FROM ME! SHE LIES DEAD IN THE HANDS OF THE PERSON WHO CARED FOR HER MORE THAN I, EVEN! Where I once thought pacifism was the way, now my heart SEETHES with the thoughts of RAGING VENGANCE! I will not forgive you for this trespass, Trigon!"
"So," Slade said to Cyborg, "your only option isn't available, and no one else on Earth can be contacted."
Starfire interjected. "I do not think that it is "Nobody else on Earth can be contacted" – but rather, "Nobody else on Earth is of the means to be contacted.""
Terra didn't get it. "Meaning..."
Robin filled it in. "...we're either the only ones left-" he began.
"...or Trigon's toying with us. Big time." Cyborg finished.
"Either way," Slade noted, "you have no help."
"Yo, man, if you've actually turned on this dude, you ain't exactly projectin' a different vibe, ya' know?" proclaimed Cyborg.
Slade looked up. "Sorry to disappoint you."
"So, like, how are we supposed to beat this guy?" asked Beast Boy.
"You cannot. He is Trigon, Destroyer of Planets. There is no hope for victory against him."
Starfire was adamant. "You are wrong, Slade."
"Hmmm?"
"You are very wrong."
"How?" asked Slade, looking at her..
"There is always hope," the Tamaranean said.
"How cliché," Slade said, looking away from her.
"Yeah, well, cliché or not, it's still true," Cyborg noted.
"I know one thing –" said Robin. "I'm certainly not giving up."
Terra nodded. "We have to stop him. We're the only ones who can."
Beast Boy toughened up. "We gotta fight him. We have to fight him."
"Same as Star - if it's my turn to go, I sure ain't gonna go quiet." Cyborg turned to the other Titans. "WHO'S UP FOR A LITTLE LAST HURRAH?"
Everyone seemed to be with him - save for one person.
"Jinx, c'mon –" said Beast Boy. "You gotta fight with us."
"I'M NOT LEAVING HER!" Jinx screamed.
The crackle of purple energy in her furious eyes was all Beast Boy needed to know.
"If Trigon comes over here, so help me, I'll fight with every muscle of my body to take him down, but for the time being, I am NOT! LEAVING! HER SIDE!" Jinx explained. She wiped away a tear, still crying. "Let Trigon come and see the pain that he's caused for himself!"
"The only problem with that is that Trigon relishes in seeing pain," Slade noted.
"SHUT UP, DAD! You don't exactly have a spot for feelings, either!" Jinx screamed.
"Jinx, don't you know how much that hurts me inside?" Slade asked,
Jinx nodded towards Trigon. "Yeah -about as much a pinprick hurts him."
Slade tsk-tsked. "Cold, Jinx...cold."
"YOU ORDERED THE EVIL SELVES OF MY FRIENDS TO DESTROY THE ONE PERSON I CARE ABOUT THE MOST IN THIS WORLD! YOU'VE ALMOST COMPLETELY DESTROYED MY LIFE! AND YOU WANT ME TO BE WARM AND HAPPY?" Jinx roared at Slade in tearful grief.
"Sooo..." started Beast Boy.
"I'M NOT COMING!" Jinx answered before he could ask the question. "If He gets all of you and I have to fight him, so be it. But I am NOT leaving Raven's side!"
"Then it's settled –" Slade said. "She's not coming."
Robin looked at him "You make it sound as if we've agreed to let you fight with us."
Slade almost laughed. "Considering that you all have been quite content in chatting with me, despite knowing the fact that it was indeed I who gave the order to your Evil Selves to carry out Raven's annihilation - I'd say you agreed about five minutes ago."
None of the Titans could refute this, despite their efforts.
Robin gave the "C'MON!" motion. "TITANS! G-"
Slade stopped him, "Hold."
"Huh?" asked Cyborg.
Slade stepped forward.
"I go first. I'm his General. I betrayed him. My fate will be much worse than whatever it is that he might do to you."
"GENERAL!" Trigon's voice shook the groumd. "IF YOU ARE GOING TO FIGHT ME, SO BE IT - STOP WITH YOUR PATHETIC, COWARDLY DAWDLING AND FACE ME ALREADY!"
Terra looked at Slade. "I hate to say it," she told him, "but - good luck."
Slade's rocket boots fired and he flew towards Trigon. As he approached the Demon King, his body once again ignited into flames.
Trigon watched him approach. "YOU WERE MY GENERAL. YOU SERVED ME LOYALLY FOR MANY YEARS. AND NOW YOU BETRAY. YOU ORDER SLAVES CREATED WITH MY POWER TO DESTROY MY DAUGHTER. THUS DO I SEAL YOUR FATE. PERISH!"
A staff suddenly materialized in Trigon's hand. With it, the Demon King sent a massive blast of energy at Slade! Slade dodged it with ease - quickly avoiding the sneak attack of a blast of energy from Trigon's upper eyes as well.
"FOOL!" Trigon angrily growled. "YOU KNOW YOU CANNOT WIN THIS BATTLE! I AM TRIGON! I HAVE DESTROYED WORLDS MUCH MORE ADVANCED THAN THIS!"
Slade summoned up a fireball the size of the White House.
"Whoah!" Cyborg said in awe.
Beast Boy Sstared. "Thassa a big fire..."
Slade hurled it at Trigon - who batted it away like it was a flea.
"DISAPPOINTING. IS THIS THE BEST I CAN EXPECT FROM MY FORMER GENERAL?"
Slade reeled back a punch - and lurched in midair.
Trigon laughed. "YOU FORGET - IT WAS I WHO MADE YOU. NOW - I HAVE DECIDED TO UNDO WHAT WAS DONE."
Slade fell out of the sky.
"Okay, guys," Cyborg turned to the Titans. "OUR TURN!"
"Two waves." Terra looked at Robin. "Me, Cy, and Starfire first."
Robin nodded. "Agreed. TITANS! GO!"
Starfire picked up Cyborg, and with Terra, they charged Trigon.
Trigon looked down. "THE ONES WHO DESTROYED MY DAUGHTER."
The stone Titans Tower lifted up into the air.
Trigon continued. "YOUR TIME HAS COME. YOUR LIVES ARE FORFEIT. YOU SHALL BE DESTROYED BY THAT WHICH IS THE VERY SYMBOL OF YOUR POWER."
The Tower smashed down on top of the 3 Titans.
"STARFIRE!" Robin screamed.
"TERRA! CYBORG!" Beast Boy cried.
Trigon just laughed. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
The dust thrown out by the Tower's impact settled.
There was no movement from the huge pile of rubble.
