Raven: About time you updated. And by the way, screw you for your other story. Made me look like a 5-year old.
Beast Boy: No comment.
Robin: Heh. The world needs more views of the girl inside you though.
Raven: Do you want to see what the lovely dimension of Zathran looks like?
Robin: Theme song please!
When there's trouble you know who to call. Teen Titans!
From their tower, they can see it all. Teen Titans!
When there's evil on the attack
You can rest knowing they got your back
'Cuz when the world needs heroes on patrol, Teen Titans GO!
With their superpowers they unite. Teen Titans!
Never met a villain that they liked. Teen Titans!
They've got the bad guys on the run
They never stop 'till the job gets done
'Cuz when the world is losin' all control
Teen Titans GO! Teen Titans GO!
If your heart is black you better watch out
You cannot escape the team
When they catch you there won't be any doubt
You've been beaten by the teens
Beaten by the teens
Previously, on Fused...
"Titans, GO!" Robin jumped forward, bringing his staff down hard. He spun around, imitating Raven's attacks from earlier.
"Robin, heads up!" Terra yelled. Grabbing a few rocks, she placed one on Robin's left side and hovered one to his right. Getting the idea, Robin wall-jumped up the floating one, at which point Terra rose the wall on his left so he could jump off onto it. He kept wall-kicking this way until he was high enough into the air to launch a flurry of concussive discs onto the battlefield. As he fell, Terra slanted the walls as to create ramps for him to slide down. Once on the ground, he gave her a thumbs-up and went back to fighting with his staff.
Cyborg was all sonic cannon. Demons fell left and right as he blitzed them. Jumping in the air, he let loose a series of heat-seeker missiles, each finding a target and destroying not only said target, but 3 or 4 other soldiers surrounding it.
Soon, Raven and Starfire entered the brawl and it ended quickly. "Thanks for the save, guys," Terra said, breathless. It had been a long fight, and the opponent's weren't holding back.
"Yeah, thanks. You figured it out, huh?" Raven looked to Slade, amused. "Who else? Have you seen the boy?" Slade replied.
"Not yet. But Trigon must not want Beast Boy around. Maybe he's afraid of him? If Beast Boy's holding a key to beating Trigon... We gotta get going, quickly. You guys in?" Raven asked the group.
"Why the hell else would we be here?" Robin asked with a smile.

"Alright, guys. Beast Boy is going to be very similar to what I was when I reverted to my childhood form during Trigon's reign. He'll be lost, scared, and probably won't remember us at first. We need to catch him, earn his trust and bring him back to his spirit," Raven instructed.
"Bring him back to his spirit?" Robin questioned as they traversed the jungle, scanning for signs of their friend.
"Beast Boy's soul is what we're looking for. Once we have him, I can use my powers to reunite him, to integrate him into this spirit world. He's not supposed to be running around in this place. He's supposed to be part of it," Raven explained.
"Ok, so basically we're playing hide-and seek?" Terra groaned. "I always suck at that game," She lamented.
Robin laughed. "Not a problem, we'll find h- over there!" He exclaimed as a flash of green ran past him.
Terra flew on a boulder in hot pursuit, while Raven attempted to get a lock on him with her powers. She finally got him. "Alright, Terra. I need you cage him in. Follow my instructions precisely," Raven focused hard and Terra nodded.
"Wall up, ten feet long. Four miles left," Raven said.
"Comin' up," Terra said. They heard a rumbling as the earth moved.
Slowly, with Terra creating walls per Raven's measurements, the little boy was boxed in.
"Almost there," Raven said. Those who couldn't fly were starting to tire out, and even Raven's powers were starting to give. Finally, they reached the rocky cage.
"Alright, I'm going to phase through and catch him." And with that, Raven slipped through the wall.
"Who are you?" The little green child slowly backed away from Raven, terrified.
"My name is Raven. Remember me? We're teammates. We're both Teen Titans. Remember me now?" She asked gently.
"Teen Titans? What're you talking about?" Beast Boy was looking for an escape.
Raven sighed. "Listen to me. I know you're scared. You're lost. You need to get back together with your spirit. I'm here to help you. We're...in love. Ringing any bells yet?" She smiled.
Realization dawned on the small green creature. "I...What's happening, Raven?" It appeared as though he knew who she was.
"Trigon took your body. He broke Mumbo's connection, but he also broke his connection with you when we fought. I blasted what I thought was him, but was really you, with an attack so powerful that I thought I'd killed you. But...somehow you survived, if even just this tiny bit. If you trust me, I can help," She held her hand out to him. If he took it, she could save him.
Meanwhile, the others had company. Soon after Raven had disappeared, more of Trigon's soldiers had shown up. With Raven out of action, the battle was getting pretty tough.
Robin, now having room to pull his best moves, was taking down demons left and right with his martial arts maneuvers and staff. He was fighting back to back with Slade, and the two fighters combined proved to be a venerable force, with both of them supporting each other, adding each other's power to the other's attacks and working together for combination attacks.
Starfire and Terra were side by side as well. Terra was blasting rocks left and right, lifting bigger ones for Starfire to punch down with her tremendous strength in between flurries of Starbolts.
Cyborg had turned into a living weapon. Two arm cannons, shoulder-mounted missile launchers, energy bayonets on his wrists, and spikes on his elbows and knees. Anyone and anything that came near him was toast. However, all the weaponry was costing him power. He wasn't going to be able to keep it up for very long.
Beast Boy regarded Raven's hand warily. Outside, the empath could hear the sounds of an epic battle raging. "Come on! Our friends, your friends are in trouble! Take my hand and we can be out of here!" Raven urged him. Slowly, Beast Boy reached out to Raven and finally grabbed her hand.
Relieved, Raven focused on uniting spirit and soul. A light began to emit from her, finally filling the "room" they were in. "Azarath Metrion ZINTHOS!" Raven roared. Instantly, the boy whose hand she held disappeared, and the jungle instantly began teeming with animal life.
Outside, the battle raged. The sudden outburst of life went unnoticed until Raven came back. "Come on guys! We're done here!" She yelled. Then she saw just how bad the fight was. "Damn," she muttered. She began to swoop down and enter the fight, but got knocked away. "What the hell?" She wondered, looking for the offending object.
A giant green T-Rex gave a mighty roar as it thundered onto the scene. With once fell swipe of its tail, it took out over half of the demons. With some help from the other Titans, the dinosaur utterly demolished its foes.
Raven grinned and landed next to her friends. "Come on guys. Let's go, BB'll be coming to any moment now." And with that, she teleported them all back into the physical world.
Everyone stood up, looking around. Finally all eyes set on the green boy on the lab bed, watching and waiting. "C'mon..." Raven urged. Finally, his heart monitor started beeping normal, steady beats.
Raven collapsed to the floor. Terra caught her before she hit her head on the floor, sitting the poor girl down into one of the chairs. After a good solid hour of watching Beast Boy and checking out all of his vital signs, Robin finally decided that everyone should leave Raven alone with the unconscious boy.
Once everyone was out into the hall, Slade spoke. "I am glad that the boy is alive. I believe that we should pursue that matter of Trigon after he has had sufficient rest. I do not wish to see any of you fall to his power. In the mean time, we have another matter to discuss."
Robin nodded. "Yeah, we do," He agreed. He studied Slade and Terra for a moment, face expressionless. Finally he said "We have several guest rooms. Terra, per Beast Boy's request your room has been kept, cleaning and all. And as for you," He looked at Slade, "make yourself at home in one of the guest rooms. I think you've proven yourself trustworthy." The Boy Wonder said.
Cyborg laughed. "Wow. Times are really changing. A month ago, Robin would probably have throttled me if I even suggested the possibility of Slade staying the night at our Tower," He said. Robin just rolled his eyes.
Terra's face was in danger of turning sideways from her smile. "I...I don't deserve it. Thank you, Robin. You won't regret it," She ran at him, gave him a small hug and ran up to her room.
"While I shall not be showing my gratitude in such a manner, I am both surprised and thankful to be allowed to remain with you while our injured are tended to." Slade said evenly. Robin laughed and shuddered at the image of Slade hugging him.
"Alright, team. I'm crashing. Goodnight." Robin said over his shoulder as he headed for his room.
