I do not own the Teen Titans. Man this legal copyright protection stuff or whatever it is is getting monotonous. Anyways These next few chapters are going to be extreamly battle heavy so they might not be as long as the others. But if anything they will be longer so I hope you enjoy.

Chapter 5: There's always hope.

All the Titans looked at the enourmous demon in front of them, stunned.

"THE EARTH IS MINE!" Trigon yelled as a giant ripple of red energy erupted from his eyes. The Titans however were protected by a strange black glow as the Earth was turned to a vast burned wasteland. Kevin woke up later after being stunned from the blast seeing the same black energy that protected them.

"No to beat a dead horse but, I awoke several hours later in a daze." Kevin said rubbing the back of his head. "Guys. Where are you?" Kevin looked around and saw that he was alone. He continued to wander the streets and saw a horrible site. "No way. All these people are stone. What happened?" Kevin continued to wander the streets looking for the others. Soon a bird landed on a pile of rubble. Somehow the bird seemed familiar to him. "Raven?" the bird then flew away. "Wait." Kevin started to run after the bird. He continued to follow the bird and saw that it led him to a destroyed skyscrapper. He flew to the top just in time to see Robin fall from the edge. He also saw Cyborg as both of them grabbed Robin.

"We got ya." Cyborg said as he and Kevin pulled Robin up. "Glad ya made it." Starfire then flew down from the sky and rushed to Robin.

"Robin you are unharmed." Stafire then gave him a hug, but not the normal bonecrushing one. A slight blush apperead on Starfire's face but no one saw.

"I saw something out in the city. It lead me here." Robin explaining why he was there.

"I think it led us all here." Kevin said.

"Well almost all of us." Best Boy said remembering Raven.

"Were the only ones left." Cyborg said.

"But how are we still alive?" Starfire asked.

"It had to have been Raven. She saved us." Kevin said.

"But how?" Beast Boy asked

"At the Tower when Raven knocked us out I heard her say something. She said be safe." Robin said.

"She must of did something with her powers to protect us but what?" Kevin said.

"As if it matters. There's nothing left. What's the point." Cyborg said.

"Dude common. There's always hope. We can do something." Kevin said.

"Kevin's right we still have hope, we have a chance to stop Trigon. For Raven." Robin then placed his hand out.

"For Raven." Kevin followed.

"For Raven." Then Starfire.

"For Raven." Then Cyborg.

"For Raven." Then Beast Boy. When Beast Boy placed his hand over the others a strong burst of black energy appeared and pushed them back.

"OK, that was odd." Kevin said looking at his hand that was now glowing black.

"Raven may not have been able to stop Trigon, but she left us something to fight him with. She gave us some of her power." Robin said.

"And It grows stronger when we stand as one." Starfire said.

"Ok, here's the plan..." Robin started going over an attack plan with the others to attack Trigon.

The Titans saw Trigon and went staright to the offensive. Kevin and Starfire teamed up blasting Trigon with as many energy balls as they could throw. Robin bounced off rock after rock and threw about two handfuls of grenades at his shins. Beast Boy was carrying Cyborg as Cyborg opened his shoulders and launche a barrage of missles at Trigon.

"Stand up and fight Trigon." Robin said.

"Insignificant insects." Trigon didn't even move from his makeshit throne.

"I think It's time to hit him hard." Robin said.

"Are you sure this isn't gonna fry our brains?" Beast Boy pointing at his head.

"Common have a little faith in Raven." Kevin said.

"I have used Raven's powers before. They are controlled by emotion. The more we feel the energy is released." Starfire explaining the use of Ravens powers.

"In other words get angry." Cyborg said. Everyone grabbed each other's hands They started to get angry remembering all the things that angered them the most.

"Azarath Metrion Zinthose." They all yelled in unison as a giant black energy wave made its striking Trigon in the chest.

"AAARRRRGGGGHHHH!" Trigon was obviously in pain. When the Titans stopped the attack however Trigon simply smiled. "You may think it is wise to attack me while I gather my strength. But not even a farewell blessing from my daughter can sve you now. Begone." He then shot a red energy beam out of everyone of his four eyes. They were shielded by Ravens powers, but were blasted away to the remains of the destroyed library.

"Guess that wasn't angry enough." Cyborg said.

"Of all the places to crash and burn why did it have to be here." Beast Boy said as he looked at the last place they wanted to be.

"Man this is bull shit." Kevin said as he punched a statue. "I shouldn't have held back."

"What do you mean?" Robin asked.

"Me and anger don't really mix. If I get to angry I lose control and I hurt the people closest to me. So I held back cause I didn't want to risk it. It's happened before." Kevin said as he punched the statue one more time.

"I wish to leave." Stafire said.

"And go where. The whole world is toast." Cyborg yelled. "And the only person who can help us now is...We could really use her help right now."

"I know what we saw, but I still can't believe it." Robin had climbed to the top of some stairs. "It just doesn't feel like Ravens really gone."

"That's because she isn't." A voice nobody wanted to hear. Slade then stepped out of the shadows.

"Slade." Robin said. As soon as he finshed his sentence Kevin dashed forward giving a backfist to the side of Slades face. Slade staggered a little as Robin jumped in the air launching birdarangs and a grenade. Slade dodged these as Beast Boy charged at him in the form of a Triceritops, slamming him against the wall.

"Giving up already Slade." Robin said.

"Sorry to dissapoint you, but I'm not here to fight." Slade said as he stood up. "Im here to help."

"We don't need your help!" Kevin said as he walked towards him.

"Yes you seem to have everything under control. Raven can still be saved." Slade said as he brushed himself off. As soon as he finished talking Starfire dashed at him slamming him against the wall getting ready to fire a starbolt straight at his face.

"You will not dishonor our friend with you trickery." Starfire said.

"Whatever your sellin were not buyin." Cyborg said as he readied his sonic cannon.

"Think of me what you will, but what Trigon did, even I would not wish on this world."

"Your a little late for apoligies." Kevin said as he walked towards Slade giving him a punch to the gut. "Thats for hurting Raven. Bastard." Slade caughed as he stood up.

"You mistake my Generosity for regret Kaiser. I only offer my services because it suits me."

"But we saw Raven become the portal. She was destroyed." Starfire said.

"Raven has fullfilled the prophecy of her birth, that part of her existence is complete. But another part still remains, for the moment."

"Why are you doing this, what's in it for you?" Robin asked.

"My reasons are my own" He started to walk past the Titans. "Do you want your friend back or not."

"Just tell us where she is and we'll take it from there." Cyborg said.

"There is no we. This is a journey only one of you may take." Slade said as he faced the Titans.

"No deal. She's our friend all of us are going." Beast Boy said as he walked towards Slade.

"Then your friend is doomed to oblivion. You fail to realize Trigon is all seeing. His mind can be at anyplace at anytime. For us to succeed Trigon's attention must be occupied."

"And how do you expect us to do that. We already tried fighting him and look where it got us." Cyborg yelled.

"It's the end of the world. Do you think it would be easy." Slade turned to the others. "I do not expect you to win, I do not even expect you to survive, only endure."

"I'll go with you." Robin said.

"Robin no." Stafire said as she aproached him.

"If there's even the slightest chance to save Raven, we have to take that chance." Robin said.

"Well better you than me. I would probably attack him before long." Kevin said.

"The journey to this world has taken much of Trigons power. With this you might be able to survive." Slade then took out a ring. "It is a ring of Azar, forged by the sme order that imprissoned Trigon. I know from experience that it works." Slade said as Starfire took the ring.

"I know you can do it." Robin gave Starfire a hug.

"It may get ugly, but don't worry we'll keep him busy." Cyborg said as Beast Boy jumped on Cyborgs shoulders.

"Yeah, just wait till Trigon get slapped with my pattented Wet Willy manuever." Beast Boy then stuck his finger in his mouth and pulled it out.

"He won't know what hit him." Robin said.

"Your goodbye's are really quite touching, but we have work to do." Slade said as he walked off.

"Hey Slade." Kevin walked towards Slade as he stopped. "If you hurt Raven or Robin. I will hunt you down and make your life a living hell."

"Look around were already in one. Robin." Slade called as he and Robin set off down the stairs.

"I'll bring her back I promise." Robin said before he left.

Well this seems like a good place to stop. Well looks like the battle will Start in the next chapter. I am compleately serious. And this battle is gonna take two chapters.
