Teen Titans Unleashed
Note: This is the beginning of my ninth Teen Titans season. We'll see some nice character development, action, and adventure. I'll also introduce some new characters in this season.
Dark Legacies
It was a dark night in Jump City and all was not well, underneath an overpass Cinderblock, Plasmus, and Overload were on a rampage. There was panic as Cinderblock lifted a bus full of people and threw it while roaring, but it was caught by Starfire and placed on the ground. The people inside quickly got out as they were escorted by Beast Boy and Robin before Cyborg and Raven joined them.
The three monsters turned as they saw the Titans glaring at them with fearless expressions as he said, "You three really need to learn not to play so rough."
Overload flew in the air and shot bolts of lightning at them but the Titans scattered to avoid them before charging at the three of them. Raven hit Overload with a blast of her dark energy that knocked him back and sent him crashing to the ground before he stood up and absorbed electricity from streetlights. Plasmus dug his arm into the ground and pulled out a sewer pipe and started drinking from it until it was hit by a sonic blast and destroyed. He looked and saw Cyborg aiming his right sonic cannon at him before Beast Boy morphed into a Triceratops and charged at him. Plasmus shrieked as he sprouted two extra arms and stretched all toward the green Triceratops before grabbing him and throwing him. Beast Boy reverted to his human form as he screamed in terror before Cyborg caught him, then Plasmus spit acid at them but Cyborg jumped out of the way. The acid melted a hole in the street before Cyborg activated his Jump Jets and launched himself at Plasmus, punching him and knocking him down. He splattered but oozed back together and grabbed Cyborg, but Beast Boy came as a Therizinosaurus and slashed his claws to cut off Plasmus' arms, freeing Cyborg. Meanwhile Starfire and Robin fought Cinderblock as he slammed both his fists on the ground, sending chunks of concrete flying at them.
Starfire picked Robin up and carried him as she flew, then Robin threw an explosive disc at Cinderblock's face. It blew up but Cinderblock roared in fury as he jumped at them, only for Robin to punch him with his electric brass knuckle gadgets. He knocked Cinderblock down, but he got back up while Starfire gently set Robin down before flying at Cinderblock and punching him in the stomach twice. He stumbled back before punching her to the ground and then stomping on her, pounding her deep into the ground. He prepared to stomp again when she shot her eyebeams at his face and made him stumble back, then Robin threw another explosive disc. It went under Cinderblock's foot just as he stepped on the ground, then it exploded and made him lose his balance. He got up as Overload and Plasmus were knocked down next to him and they saw the Titans regroup in front of them. Cinderblock, Plasmus, and Overload then fused together to form Ternion, who stomped and through his fists out as he shrieked in fury.
Beast Boy stared at Ternion as he complained, "Great, the big bad turducken!"
Raven flew at Ternion with an impatient expression as she said, "Let's just stop him already!"
She shot a blast of her black magic that knocked Ternion back, but then he drove his fist into the ground and stretched it. He then made his hand rise out of the ground underneath Raven and grabbed her as she let out a small cry of pain. He dragged her underground and retracted his arm to its usual length as he pulled her out of the ground and held her in his hand. He stared at her in his grip when Beast Boy charged at him as a T-Rex and slammed his snout into Ternion's face, knocking him back and forcing him to release Raven.
Beast Boy knocked Ternion on his back and Raven floated next to the green T-Rex's head and said, "Thanks Beast Boy. Now let's take him down."
They both charged at Ternion as he got up and they were joined by Cyborg, Robin, and Starfire as they yelled in fury. Unbeknownst to the Titans, they were being watched by six mysterious hooded figures from the shadows of a rooftop far away. The fight was hard to miss so the six figures could see everything that was happening as they stared. They appeared to be six boys in their teens as they stared at the fight, and each one had four glowing red eyes.
One of them spoke ominously as he said, "Yes Raven, fight alongside your little friends and show your true power."
Opening theme song
Ternion then shot lightning bolts from his eyes and the Titans dodged them before Cyborg blasted both of his sonic cannons together. He created a powerful sonic blast that knocked Ternion over but he got up while Starfire flew behind him and threw a bunch of starbolts at him. He turned around and stretched his left arm out toward her and tried to punch her, however she dodged it. Unfortunately his arm smashed one of the supports of the overpass, causing part of it to collapse and form a long gap. A car with a family tried to stop but was at the edge in danger of falling while a teen with a motorcycle helmet was hanging onto the edge for his life.
Robin looked at Raven and Beast Boy as he urgently yelled, "Raven! Beast Boy! The bridge!"
Beast Boy transformed into a Pteranodon and flew with Raven toward the gap just as the boy and the car started falling. Beast Boy caught the teen in his legs and carried him while Raven encased the car in her dark energy and lifted it back onto the bridge. They all smiled at the two teens gratefully before Raven and Beast Boy flew back to fight Ternion; Robin avoided being crushed by Ternion before he sprouted tendrils. He lashed them at some civilians but Cyborg jumped in front of them as he held his shield up and protected them.
Starfire then yelled, "Cyborg! Shield!"
He tossed her the shield and she threw it at Ternion like a frisbee as it moved with great speed, but passed through his sloppy body. Beast Boy flew over Ternion and turned into an Apatosaurus as he fell on Ternion, pounding him into the ground and causing a huge tremor. However Ternion shrieked as he stood and lifted the huge dinosaur off of him and threw him away while Beast Boy turned human and Starfire caught him. Cyborg launched six missiles from his shoulders and they all exploded against Ternion, but then he held out his left hand. He used electromagnetism to pull Cyborg toward him as he ended up flying off the ground and into Ternion's hand as he cried in distress. Ternion shocked him with electricity and slammed him into the ground before throwing him away, prompting Raven to tend to him. He held his head in pain before getting up and smiling at Raven to let her know that he was okay, then she turned to Ternion.
Raven showed a serious expression before her eyes glowed white as she said, "It's time to finish this! Azarath Metrion Zinthos!"
She then made water burst from fire hydrants and made it hit Ternion, soaking him as he shrieked in pain.
Robin smiled eagerly as he said, "Good idea! He has the powers of Cinderblock, Plasmus, and Overload AND their weaknesses!"
Starfire threw one big starbolt at Ternion while Cyborg fired his right sonic cannon and they knocked him back. Ternion then spit a bunch of acid that hit Starfire and made her cry in pain as it burned her and made her fall to the ground before she got up. Beast Boy flew over Ternion as an eagle and then morphed into a giant squid and ensnared his head and upper body with his tentacles. He held tight but Ternion shocked Beast Boy with electricity and then grabbed the green giant squid and threw him away. Beast Boy landed near the others when Ternion grabbed two cars and threw them at a couple who was nearby watching in far.
Raven floated in the air as she looked and shouted, "Cyborg, save those people!"
Cyborg obeyed as he turned and ignited his Jump Jets to launch himself at the people and landed before grabbing them and carrying to safety before the cars crashed down. He put them down and urged them to leave before Cyborg ran back to help his friends as Starfire shot a ray of her starbolt energy at Ternion. She blasted a small hole in him but it filled up as he shrieked and shot a bolt of lightning that hit Starfire and sent her crashing down. He then lunged his fists out and stretched them toward the Titans but Raven flew and landed in front of her friends and blocked the fists with a wall of her dark energy. He retracted his arms and shrieked before slamming both fists into the ground and causing a small earthquake while that made them lose their footing. Raven dropped her shield but immediately got back up and glared at Ternion before encasing the ground beneath him in her dark energy while her eyes glowed white. She then made the street collapse and sent the monster falling into the sewers, he was up to his knees in sewer water with hurt him as sparks of electricity shot from his body. He desperately climbed out of the sewers and got back on the street as he panted in pain while he got on his knees.
Raven kept staring as she floated and yelled, "Robin! Gas!"
Robin threw a disc into his mouth, which opened and let out a bunch of knockout gas just as Ternion closed his mouth. He breathed in the gas and got dizzy before falling down and passing out, separating the three villains. Plasmus reverted to his human form while Overload's body vanished with only his circuit board head left, and Cinderblock was punched by Starfire and knocked out.
The Titans all cheered in victory, except Raven, Beast Boy smiled at her as he held his hand up and said, "Sweet! Way to go Raven! High-five!"
Raven looked at him with a blank expression before turning and walking away as she said, "I'll be home if anyone needs me."
Beast Boy reached toward her and stopped her as he curiously asked, "Wait, what's your hurry? We gotta take these guys to jail."
She looked at him and honestly said, "You can handle them. I just want get some meditation done before dinner."
She flew off toward the Tower while Beast Boy watched in confusion as he said, "Okay?"
He turned and walked to help the others while Raven flew back to the Tower, and they were all unaware that they were being watched.
Psimon floated in the sky with his arms folded as he watched Raven with an evil grin and said, "Your time has come Raven."
He was joined by the six mysterious boys as one of them said, "And so has ours."
Later at Titans Tower, Raven was alone in her bedroom while the others were in the kitchen preparing dinner.
Raven was levitating in her room as she meditated in peace and repeatedly chanted, "Azarath Metrion Zinthos."
For the moment she was at peace as nothing bothered her and she was able to forget all of her inhibitions and issues. There was complete peace and quiet and Raven was completely calm as she had managed to clear her mind of any distractions.
Suddenly she heard knocking on her bedroom door and then Beast Boy said, "Hey Raven, dinner's ready."
She let out a weary sigh before she called out, "Coming."
She got on her feet and walked into the hallway to find Beast Boy smiling as he motioned for her to follow him before going around the corner. She went to the kitchen to find her friends sitting at the table eating together before she got herself a plate and sat down with them. She got herself some mashed potatoes and roast beef Cyborg already made, and she also had a cup of herbal tea. Beast Boy was eating a tofu burger while Starfire happily ate a big juicy steak, Robin enjoyed a hotdog, and Starfire ate some roast beef while drinking mustard.
Cyborg smiled at the others as he said, "Man we really kicked butt tonight!"
Beast Boy smiled happily as he punched the air twice and said, "Yeah, we kicked three butts for the price of one!"
Starfire smiled in delight as she said, "Agreed friends. Cinderblock, Plasmus, and Overload are most formidable, but they are no match for us."
Robin smiled with pride as he turned to Raven and said, "Yeah, of course we do have Raven to thank for that. You had a great idea using their weaknesses against them while they were fused."
Cyborg agreed as he smiled at Raven and commended, "Yeah, and you called some great plays too. We stopped those three from hurting anyone else."
Starfire smiled in glee as she put her hands together and happily complimented, "Agreed! You were quite valiant in that battle."
Raven glanced at him as she said, "Thanks guys."
Beast Boy smiled as he scooted closer to her and happily said, "They're right Rae. You were awesome out there!"
She was surprised as she felt a bit flattered before standing up while saying, "Thanks Beast Boy. I'm finished. See you guys in the morning."
She started walking while they watched her as Beast Boy surprisedly said, "Wait, where you going? It's only seven-thirty."
Raven stood in place as she stared at them out of the corner of her eye and said, "I'd like to meditate some more before bed."
Beast Boy was displeased as he got out of his seat and walked after her and said, "Seriously?! You've been meditating all night! You spend way too much time alone in your room! Come on! Have some fun! Live a little!"
Cyborg smiled encouragingly as he held up a movie case and said, "Yeah, hang out with us for a while. It's movie night. I rented Code Heritage."
The movie was a sci-fi movie and the case showed people wearing techno suits that had colorful lines of light on them.
Raven was not interested as she respectfully as she said, "I'll pass. Thanks guys."
She started walking again until Starfire came and sincerely said, "Please Raven. It is a most joyous night that friends should spend together."
Robin walked up with a friendly smile as he said, "Yeah, I know you'd probably rather read one of your books but they're not going anywhere."
Raven started lose her patience as she said, "I said no."
Beast Boy smiled as he walked up to her from behind and put his hand on her shoulder as he said, "Come on Raven. A little fun can help after beating up bad guys. And you might enjoy yourself if…"
She immediately turned around with her eyes glowing white as she yelled, "NO!"
Beast Boy was startled as he jumped back and her powers made the leftover food explode, then Raven left the room.
The others watched the door as Robin said, "I think you pushed her too far."
Beast Boy was irritated as he stood and complained, "How come I'm always the one who pushes her over the edge?!"
Cyborg picked up the dishes and walked over to the kitchen sink while he said, "Cuz you're good at getting on people's nerves."
Beast Boy scowled at Cyborg with an annoyed expression, then Starfire honestly said, "Raven faces many challenges Beast Boy, she is still very complicated."
Robin agreed as he showed an understanding expression and said, "Yeah, and considering her past I can't say I blame her."
Beast Boy stared at the door with an angry expression as he said, "Yeah well I wanna know what's going on!"
He then stormed after Raven while Robin reached his right hand out to stop him as he said, "Beast Boy wait!"
He did not listen as he followed Raven while Starfire and Robin watched him, and Cyborg commented, "Well he's toast."
Raven walked by herself down the dark hall when Beast Boy came and demanded, "Hey Raven! What's your deal?!"
She stopped and stared forward as she desperately said, "Beast Boy please!"
Beast Boy put his hands on his sides as he stared at her and said, "Why'd you have to go and do that?! We just wanted to have some fun with you!"
Raven calmed down a bit as she looked at him out of the corner of her eye and said, "I know and I appreciate that, but I'm just not in the mood for a movie."
Beast Boy pointed at her, wagging his finger as he suspiciously said, "It's not that. Something's up with you. I can tell."
She knew she couldn't hide it from him as she shut her eyes and honestly said, "I don't want to talk about it."
Beast Boy held his palms out as he solemnly said, "Come on, you can tell us. We're your friends. We can help."
She opened her eyes as she pessimistically said, "No you can't."
Beast Boy shrugged his shoulders as he curiously asked, "Why not?"
Raven opened her eyes and looked down at the floor as she said, "You just can't. Trust me. You can't help with this."
Beast Boy held his arms out and smiled as he sincerely said, "Sure we can. We've helped you before, like when we went in your mind with your magic mirror, or when we helped you beat Trigon and save the world. We're here for you."
Raven glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, somewhat touched by his words, then she shut her eyes and said, "Beast Boy please. I'm sorry for losing control like that, but there are some things you just can't fix. Like me."
She walked off while Beast Boy watched her sympathetically before turning around and walking the other way. Over an hour later, Raven was in her room as she sat on her bed in Indian style and shut her eyes and thought about her friends and what Beast Boy said to her.
She breathed calmly as she thought to herself, " They can't help me, but they deserve the truth. Keeping secrets has only led to trouble in the past. But I still don't know for sure that it's a problem. If I tell them and it's not something to worry about I'll get them worked up over nothing. At least I hope that it's nothing."
Suddenly she heard a boy's chilling voice say, "You fool yourself with false hope!"
She opened her eyes in fright and gasped as she found herself in a fiery pit with six giant quartets of glowing red eyes that were leering at Raven.
Each one spoke with a different voice as one of them said, "You think you can keep up your facade?"
Raven turned to another set of eyes in fear as he said, "You cannot run from yourself forever."
She looked at one set of eyes behind her as he evilly said, "You are one of us."
Raven looked at a set of eyes to her left while he said, "Everything you hold dear will be destroyed!"
Another set of eyes evilly said, "Your home!"
Another quartet of eyes evilly said, "Your people!"
The eyes in front of Raven then evilly added, "And your friends!"
Raven was horrified as she desperately cried, "No!"
She shut her eyes and then opened them as everything around her disappeared and she found herself back in her room. Everything she just experienced only happened in her mind, but she knew it was not just her imagination as she was very frightened.
Suddenly the alarm sounded and a red light flashed as she heard Beast Boy yell, "Raven we got trouble! Let's go!"
She immediately got out of bed and shouted, "Coming!"
Later, the Titans had gone to a powerplant to investigate a reported crime that was in progress as they walked through the yard.
As they walked Robin curiously asked, "So who's attacking? And why the powerplant? Is it someone we know or somebody new?"
They continued walking as Starfire glanced around and replied, "The reports stated it was someone with the ability to fly."
Cyborg smiled with confidence as he said, "Well whoever they are, we're gonna kick their butt like every other bad guy we've beaten."
He suddenly stopped with a startled expression as he heard a voice in his head ominously say, "Don't be so certain Cyborg."
He glanced around with his eyes narrowed as he hostilely said, "Who said that?! Where are you?! Show yourself!"
Beast Boy looked at Cyborg with a confused expression as he said, "What are you talking about? I didn't hear anybody."
All the Titans heard the voice inside their minds as he eerily said, "Hello Titans. It's good to see you all again."
Beast Boy looked a bit tense as he said, "That I heard."
They all glanced around as they heard the voice ominously say, "I've been looking forward to this moment."
Starfire was unsettled as she said, "That voice is talking to us in our minds."
Raven recognized both the voice and the power as she narrowed her eyes and suspiciously said, "Telepathy."
Robin held his arms out as he stood in a fighting stance and readily demanded, "Cut the mind games and show yourself!"
They all looked up as Psimon floated down in front of them as he levitated teen feet above the ground with his arms folded.
He leered at all of them as he mockingly said, "Always so impatient, you children are so naïve and small-minded."
Raven immediately took flight as she floated over her friends and glared at him as she hatefully said, "Psimon!"
He kept floating as he leered at her and asked, "Surprised to see me?"
Raven kept staring at him with a serious expression as she coldly said, "Not really. The Titans South told us that you'd escaped from prison."
Psimon smiled arrogantly as he said, "No prison can hold me, and your friends could not keep me from achieving my destiny."
Starfire took flight and floated next to Raven with her fists glowing green as she said, "Then we shall defeat you!"
On the ground Beast Boy, Robin, and Cyborg glared as Cyborg activated his right sonic cannon and said, "Yeah chrome-dome! Sorry to break it to you but you came all this way just to get your butt kicked all over again!"
He smiled arrogantly as he looked at them all and said, "You're welcome to try, but I will not be as easy to defeat as Cinderblock, Plasmus, or Overload."
Raven was surprised as she asked, "You know about that?"
He smiled proudly as he bragged, "Of course! I was the one who freed those three!"
Robin was shocked before he suspiciously glared up at Psimon and asked, "What?! Why did you do that?!"
He smiled arrogantly as he answered, "To get your attention and to test your abilities. I must admit, you all put on quite a show."
Beast Boy stood in a fighting stance as he clinched his fists and exclaimed, "Well now you're gonna know how they felt!"
Beast Boy glared at Psimon as he clinched his fists and fiercely said, "Yeah, you can't take us down on your own!"
Psimon smiled deviously as he said, "Who said I'm on my own?"
He held his hands out as help immediately came to his aid, help that was very frightening and dangerous to the Titans. Psimon was joined by a few dozen fire demons, the very same that they had fought when they faced Trigon.
Raven gasped while Beast Boy fearfully cried, "Huh?!"
The Titans all gaped in shock and horror as they saw the fire demons hovering in the air beside Psimon while he smiled evilly.
Raven was horrified as she softly said, "No."
Psimon then pointed at the Titans as he yelled, "Attack!"
The fire demons shrieked like monsters as they all flew at the Titans and attacked them while the Titans stared in shock and fear. Psimon also smiled evilly as the pink lines on his brain glowed bright and he telekinetically lifted several large machines in the air and hurled them at the Titans.
Commercial break
The Titans scattered to avoid the machines that Psimon hurled at them and then started fighting the fire demons that came at them. A few fire demons flew at Robin and stretched their arms at him, but he managed to dodge them before kicking one and knocking it away. One fire demon jabbed its arm at Cyborg and knocked him down while a bunch of others attacked Starfire and knocked her down. Beast Boy flew as an eagle and avoided some fire demons that were chasing him as they lashed their arms at him.
He escaped them and joined the others as he turned human and fearfully asked, "Dude! What the heck's going on?!"
Cyborg stared at the fire demons with a baffled expression as he exclaimed, "Yeah! Where did Psimon get these guys?!"
Raven stared at them as she glared daggers and said, "It doesn't matter! We have to stop them!"
Robin agreed as he pulled out his bo staff, whirled it, and held it behind his back in a fighting stance while saying, "Raven's right! Titans go!"
Cyborg fired his right sonic cannon and destroyed a couple of fire demons while Starfire shot her eyebeams and destroyed a couple more. Robin threw a device out, which burst and spilled out fire retardant that extinguished one fire demon before swing his bo at another. Beast Boy morphed into a T-Rex and crushed two fire demons under his feet before eating a third fire demon.
He then changed to his human form and fanned his mouth in pain as he exclaimed, "Hot! Hot! Hot!"
Raven floated in the air as a bunch of fire demons floated in front of her and she threw her arms out as she yelled in fury with her eyes glowing white. She shot out a wave of her black magic that destroyed all the fire demons in front of her, but then she was hit by a pink psionic beam. She cried in pain as she was knocked back but recovered and floated in the air as she saw Psimon floating in front of her with an evil grin. He threw his arms out to his sides as he telekinetically lifted a few heavy machines in the air and then hurled them at Raven. She focused her power as she held her hands out with her black magic covering them, and she stopped the machines in the air as she encased them with her dark energy. She then hurled the machines back at Psimon but he swerved to avoid all of them before Raven hit him with a blast of her black magic.
He was knocked to the ground as Raven floated down and fiercely demanded, "What are you doing here?!"
Psimon got up with an evil grin as he said, "I've come to take my rightful place in history."
He shot a pink psionic beam at her but she blocked it with a shield of her black magic and then shot black lightning bolts at him. He levitated and dodged them before he telekinetically lifted some machines up beside him while Raven encased some chunks of concrete in her black magic. They both kept fighting each other while the others kept fighting all of the fire demons with bravery and ferocity. Robin threw his birdarangs that destroyed a couple of fire demons, then he swung his bo staff and took out a couple more of them. Robin then threw a disc at a few others, freezing ice and leaving only frozen chunks of charcoal when another fire demon flew down behind him. It tried to grab Robin but he avoided its arms before kicking it in the chest and punched it several times, his suit was fire-resistant so he was unharmed by touching it. He finally jumped and kicked the fire demon in the face, knocking it into a wall as its flames were extinguished and it became a lifeless pile of charcoal. Robin then turned to some more fire demons that flew at him and he yelled at fury as he pulled his bo back and ran at them.
He swung his bo at two fire demons, one by one, while he fiercely exclaimed, "I don't know where you all came from but I know where you're going!"
Meanwhile Starfire floated high overhead as she fought a bunch of fire demons in the air while she threw a few starbolts. She destroyed a few of them before four more fire demons hovered around her and started hitting her with their arms. They knocked her every which way as she let out small cries of pain with each hit, but then she released a shockwave of her starbolt energy that destroyed them all. She glared with her eyes glowing green as she saw three more flying straight at her at highspeed, but she shot her eyebeams and destroyed them. Another fire demon flew at her and lashed its arms at her and knocked her around in the air, but Starfire recovered and destroyed it with one punch. A couple more hovered on opposite sides of her but she performed a floating roundhouse kick that destroyed both of them. She looked and saw a bunch of other fire demons flying at her together but she threw out a wave of her starbolt energy. She turned around and threw both her hands out as she shot a powerful ray of her starbolt energy that destroyed more fire demons.
She showed a fierce expression as she said, "My fire burns brighter than yours!"
Her eyes and hands glowed green as she yelled in fury and flew forward to fight more fire demons by herself. Cyborg activated both of his energy whips as he lashed them around while he spun himself around and destroyed a bunch of fire demons around him. He deactivated his energy whips when two fire demons came and grabbed his arms before flying up in the air with him. Cyborg grunted in fury before grabbing them both by their heads and slammed them together, destroying them both. He fell down to the ground but landed on his feet before he ran at a few fire demons and destroyed each of them with one punch. He looked up and saw some fire demons flying down toward him, so he jumped up and then used his Jump Jets to launch himself at them and destroyed them. He landed on his feet and then detached his left arm as it flew through the air and smashed several fire demons in the face with Cyborg's fist. His arm returned and reattached before some more fire demons hit Cyborg with their arms and knocked him down. They piled up on top of him but he activated his chest's energy cannon and fired the ray straight up into the air and destroyed all the fire demons on top of him. He got back on his feet as he grunted and found himself surrounded by a bunch of other fire demons as they shrieked viciously and approached him.
He pulled out his shield and sword as he intensely yelled, "Bring it on! I'll blow you all out like birthday candles!"
He yelled in fury as he ran and slammed his shield at one fire demon before swinging his sword and cutting two in half, destroying them. Meanwhile Beast Boy fought a bunch of other fire demons on his own as he changed into different species of animals. First he turned into a Therizinosaurus and slashed his claws, cutting four fire demons up into extinguished pieces of charcoal. He then morphed into a rhino and charged forward as he plowed his way through a small crowd of fire demons, destroying all of them. Some more fire demons flew at him from behind when he stopped but he turned into a Stegosaurus and swung his spiked tail at them, destroying them. A bunch of other fire demons flew at him from different directions but he turned into a hummingbird and took flight. They flew at him and jabbed their arms at him but he dodged all of their flaming arms as he flew higher until he was above them all. He then morphed into an Apatosaurus and fell on top of the fire demons as he crushed them, snuffing out their flames as he crushed them. He morphed into a Martian Pit Rex and roared as he ferociously destroyed a few more fire demons before licking one in the face, putting out its flames and destroying it.
He then changed to his human form and smiled proudly with his hands on his sides as he said, "Only you can prevent forest fires."
He saw another fire demon flying toward him, prompting him to change into a sasquatch and break a nearby waterpipe. He then changed into an elephant and sucked up a bunch of water with his trunk and sprayed the fire demon with it, extinguishing it. Meanwhile Raven was still fighting Psimon as he telekinetically hurled several large objects at her, but she dodged them. She then disappeared into the ground through a field of her black magic and rose out of the ground behind him. She hit him with a blast of her black magic and sent him flying, but he recovered and angrily fired a pink beam of psionic energy at her. She swiftly dodged it, but then he telekinetically lifted a lamp post and swung it at her like a giant bat, but she held her hand out and encased it in her black magic to stop it. She swung it at him and knocked him through the air, but he landed on a structure and got back up and levitated.
He glared at her as he hatefully said, "Your powers are great, but my mind is superior to yours!"
He shot a pink psionic beam at her but she dodged it and flew at him with her hands coated in spheres of her black magic. She fired a blast of her black magic at him and he narrowly dodged it while she kept flying at him with a fierce look on her face. She stopped when a bunch of fire demons flew up in front of Psimon and snarled viciously at her before attacking her. Raven held her hands out with her eyes glowing white and her hands coated in her black magic as she let out a small shout of fury. She created a small black swirling portal that sucked up all of the fire demons like a black hole before closing.
Raven floated in the air as she lowered her arms and stared at Psimon as she firmly said, "You think you're great and powerful but you're just a little man trying to be big."
Psimon glared at her with anger and hatred before clinching his dome and firing a pink psionic beam at her. Meanwhile, the other Titans were defeating the last of the fire demons while exhibiting exemplary teamwork. Starfire quickly destroyed a couple of fire demons flying toward her with her eyebeams, then she looked down to check on her boyfriend. Robin stood in a fighting stance as he prepared to face one fire demon until it was hit by a starbolt and destroyed.
Robin looked up and saw Starfire smiling down at him as he gratefully said, "Thanks Starfire."
She smiled lovingly at him when Cyborg suddenly yelled, "Yo Star! Look out!"
She looked down at Cyborg as he blasted his left sonic cannon and destroyed two fire demons that flew at her from behind. Another fire demon flew down behind Cyborg and prepared to attack him until Beast Boy jumped toward it as a kangaroo and kicked it away.
He changed to his human form and started jumping up and down in pain as he said, "Hot feet! Hot feet! Hot feet!"
The last three fire demons flew to attack him but Robin jumped at them and swung his bo staff at them and took them out.
Beast Boy stopped hopping on his feet as he smiled at Robin and said, "Thanks dude."
He smiled at Beast Boy before seriously turning to Raven while he said, "Don't mention it Beast Boy. Now let's help out Raven!"
They all hurried toward Raven as she floated in the air and kept fighting Psimon by herself with bravery and valor. She held her hands straight out and shot a beam of her dark energy while Psimon shot a pink psionic beam from his forehead. The beams collided and caused a shockwave of both energies that knocked both Psimon and Raven to the ground. They both got up and glared at each other while the rest of the Titans joined Raven at her sides and glared at Psimon.
Psimon was vexed as he said, "Always running to the rescue."
Cyborg glared at Psimon as he demanded, "How'd you get those matchsticks?!"
An evil grin appeared on Psimon's face as he ominously said, "The power of Trigon is mighty and unstoppable!"
Starfire was alarmed as she denied, "It cannot be! The Trigon has been destroyed! Raven defeated him herself!"
Psimon smiled sadistically as he said, "You mean she didn't tell you? And I thought she was your friend. Regardless, Trigon may be gone but his evil legacy remains."
Beast Boy was surprised by Psimon's words as he looked at Raven with curiosity as he noticed she was losing her cool.
Raven stepped forward as she glared daggers at Psimon and fiercely demanded, "Enough! What are you planning?! Tell us now!"
His sinister grin grew bigger as he said, "Why don't I show you instead!"
He kept smiling evilly as he held the dome covering his brain as the pink lines on it glowed bright while he stared at Raven. The others were confused until Raven gasped in horror and they all looked at her with concern as they moved closer to her.
Starfire floated over her with a worried expression as she said, "Raven, are you alright?"
She did not respond as she kept staring into space with a horrified expression while Beast Boy waved his hand in front of her face.
She did not respond and Beast Boy looked at the others as he said, "Looks like nobody's home."
Robin glared at Psimon as he demanded, "What are you doing to her?!"
Psimon kept clinching his dome and focusing his power as he smiled maniacally and said, "I'm showing her the truth."
Psimon was using telepathy to show Raven visions in her mind, visions that only she could see and the others couldn't. Raven's mind was too powerful for Psimon to control but he could still read her mind, communicate with her, and show her things. In the vision he showed her she turned around in horror to see the city in ruins with the sky being blood-red. There were thousands of fire demons flying around as they shrieked viciously and there were more four-eyed demons flying around wreaking havoc. She looked down in horror as she saw statues of her friends who had terrified expressions; they were in pieces with their heads at her feet. She was horrified when she looked up and saw the six hooded boys floating above her, their faces hidden in the shadows of their hoods, but their eyes glowed red.
One of them spoke evilly as he said, "Don't act so surprised. You knew this day would come."
Another of them glared down at Raven while he said, "You may have stopped Trigon but you know you can't escape who yourself."
Another one spoke dramatically as he pointed his left finger at her and said, "Know who you are! Know what you will become!"
Raven desperately held her head and shut her eyes as she said, "No! No! NOOOO!"
During her last cry she broke free from Psimon's illusion and fell to her knees while Beast Boy held her shoulders and said, "Raven!"
Psimon chuckled evilly and then Robin glared daggers at him as he yelled, "Don't move!"
He started running toward Psimon while Starfire flew beside him, but Psimon smiled as he opened a portal behind himself and flew back through it.
It closed behind him and Robin angrily pounded his fist as he shouted, "He got away!"
Raven opened her eyes as Beast Boy kept holding her shoulders and concernedly asked, "Raven, you okay? What happened?"
Raven looked at them all with a guilty expression as she disappeared through the ground in a field of her dark energy.
Beast Boy stood up and looked at the others as he said, "I don't know what's going but Raven's acting really weird."
Starfire was troubled as she put her hands together and said, "Agreed Beast Boy. It must have something to do with why the Psimon has come."
Robin agreed with a serious expression as he said, "There's definitely more going on than we know. Freeing Cinderblock, Plasmus, and Overload to test us? Psimon's smart but this doesn't seem like something he'd think up on his own."
Cyborg also showed a suspicious expression as he said, "Yeah, and what was that junk he was going on about Trigon? He's history."
Robin showed a serious expression as he turned around and said, "I don't know! We need more answers! We have to find Psimon and make him talk!"
Beast Boy showed a serious expression as he shook his head and said, "No Robin! We gotta go talk to Raven!"
Robin looked at Beast Boy as he prepared to argue and said, "Beast Boy…"
Beast Boy did not listen as he seriously said, "She knows something she's not telling! We gotta find out what it is! Besides, Psimon could be anywhere by now!"
Cyborg pointed his right thumb at Beast Boy while looking at Robin as he honestly said, "BB's got a point Robin. Psimon can wait, we should go check on Raven."
Realizing it was their only option, Robin complied, "Okay. Let's head back to the Tower and see how she is."
Beast Boy changed into a raven and flew with Starfire while Cyborg and Robin started running and they all left the powerplant. Meanwhile, Psimon was floating in a big dark room as he was surrounded by the six hooded boys as they floated in the air.
Psimon glanced around at them with an evil grin as he put his fingertips together and said, "I did as you asked my lords. I passed the message and she knows of our mission."
One of the boys placed his hands together as he evilly said, "Excellent!"
Psimon smiled eagerly as he asked, "Shall we head to their Tower and face her while she is alone?"
Another boy spoke mysteriously as he pointed at Psimon and said, "No! She will come to us and fulfill our purpose."
Psimon was disappointed as he folded his arms and complied, "Very well."
Another one of the boys spoke ominously and said, "With her we shall succeed where Trigon failed and lay waist to the realm of mortals."
A third boy spoke with a sadistic tone as he said, "Her friends will try to stop us but they will meet their end."
Psimon smiled arrogantly as he said, "They are only a minor annoyance. There is nothing they can do to stop us."
The boy in front of Psimon then ambitiously said, "Our reign of darkness shall begin and an era of fear shall rule."
Psimon smiled maniacally as he put his hands together and said, "And I shall serve under you and finally rule over humanity. Correct?"
A boy behind him spoke deceitfully as he said, "Yes. You will be rewarded for your devotion when our victory is achieved."
Psimon smiled as he clinched his fists and stared upward as he diabolically said, "Finally! The world will respect my power and genius!"
One of the other boys spoke maniacally as he said, "And we will claim what is rightfully ours with nothing to stand in our way!"
Psimon and five of the boys started laughing evilly as they faced toward the ceiling while the sixth boy remained silent.
He raised his finger as he interrupted their evil laughter and said, "Do not celebrate yet. We must still have Raven for our plan to succeed."
Psimon smiled overconfidently as he said, "Not to worry. With our combined power she will have no choice."
One of the other boys spoke arrogantly as he said, "Yes, she is one of us, even if she does not realize it. She will help us and we will rule together."
Psimon smiled evilly as he stared forward while all the boys held their arms out to their sides while chanting something. Later at the Tower, Raven was pacing the floor of her bedroom with a worried expression as she thought about everything that happened tonight.
She continued pacing the floor as she said to herself, "I have to do something! They're here and are planning something! Psimon is helping them! I need to figure out how to stop them and keep my friends safe!"
Immediately after she finished she heard a knock on her door and looked to see her friends open the door and enter.
Cyborg looked somewhat nervous as he reluctantly said, "Sorry for barging in Raven but we wanted to check on you."
She repressed her anxiety as she tried to be polite and said, "Thanks, but I'm fine. You can go now."
Beast Boy was not convinced as he stepped closer and respectfully asked, "Raven, what's going on?"
Raven started to lose control of her emotions as she anxiously said, "Please! Just go!"
Beast Boy narrowed his eyes as he seriously said, "No! We didn't come here just to get thrown out! There's something going on and I wanna know what!"
Raven grew more anxious as she said, "Beast Boy please!"
Starfire joined Beast Boy as she stared at Raven and sincerely said, "Raven, we wish to help you with whatever is troubling you. If it has to do with the Psimon we will help you defeat him."
Raven was almost ready to crack as she frantically said, "It's not him! It's someone else!"
Robin and Cyborg stepped closer as Robin curiously asked, "Who? Who's coming and what do they want?"
Cyborg joined in as he respectfully said, "Come on Rae. Just let us know and we'll do what we can to help."
Raven finally erupted as she loudly exclaimed, "You can't! It's beyond you! You can't help and you can't stop them!"
They were startled as she panted nervously and then they were all startled as a pillar of white light appeared next to her.
Starfire was somewhat nervous as she stared at the light and said, "Um… Raven…"
She was startled as well as she stared at the light and honestly said, "I'm not doing this."
Beast Boy pointed at the light as he cautiously asked, "Is this good or bad?"
They all stared at the light as a figure emerged from it and then the light vanished, leaving a woman they all recognized in its place.
Raven was emotional as she stared at her and said, "Mother!"
The others were all shocked as they stared at her and simultaneously said, "Arella."
Arella glanced at the Titans before looking at Raven, who was almost speechless as she said, "You're here."
She stared at her daughter with an empathetic expression as she kindly said, "Raven, I come to you in your time of need."
Robin responded to Beast Boy's previous question as he leaned next to him and answered, "I'd say this is a good news bad news moment."
Raven shed small tears as she moved at her and hugged her while shutting her eyes, and Arella hugged her back. The Titans all watched with touched smiles as Raven shoved her face into Arella's chest and kept hugging her before pulling away from her.
She looked up at Arella as she wiped her tear away and said, "Do you know?"
Arella nodded as she held her palm out toward Raven while she solemnly said, "Yes, and that's why I have come. To help you prepare for the upcoming challenge that you and your friends will soon face together."
Beast Boy looked nervous as he said, "Not cool."
Raven looked down with a somewhat depressed expression as she said, "So it's true. My younger brothers are here."
Arella regretfully confirmed, "Yes."
The others were shocked as they heard everything and Starfire perplexed, "Little brothers?"
Cyborg was speechless as he said, "Say what?!"
Arella stared at Raven as she gravely said, "They seek to conquer this realm for themselves and if they succeed they will bring about a new age of terror and chaos."
Raven desperately looked up at her mother as she asked, "How do I stop them?"
Arella sympathized as she let go of Raven and regretfully answered, "That, I'm afraid, you must figure out by yourself."
The two of them looked at the other Titans as Beast Boy raised his hand then his finger as he impatiently said, "Uh… Hello! Sorry to interrupt the mother-daughter reunion but could someone please tell us what the heck is going on?!"
Cyborg agreed with a confused expression as he said, "Yeah! What are you girls talking about? What challenge?"
Raven looked back at Arella, who looked down at her as she sincerely said, "It is time you told them the truth Raven."
She sighed in defeat as she surrendered, "You're right. I knew I couldn't keep it from them forever, but I hoped they wouldn't find out like this."
The others showed concerned expressions as Robin asked, "What? What is it Raven?"
She looked at them all with a guilty expression as she confessed, "Guys, I have a confession to make. Over the past few days, I've had the feeling that something was coming, something bad. And tonight it felt the worst."
Robin cocked an eyebrow as he curiously asked, "Psimon?"
Raven shook her head as she honestly answered, "No. Psimon apparently has gotten involved with it but I didn't learn that until tonight, just like the rest of you."
Starfire was both curious and concerned as she asked, "If you were concerned why did you not inform us of this?"
Raven looked at them with a guilty expression as she explained, "I didn't want to get you all involved in it. This is something that I hoped I could handle on my own."
Cyborg shrugged his shoulders in confusion as he curiously asked, "Why? What's the big deal? We've faced tons of bad guys and saved the world together before? Why were you so fixed on trying to do this by yourself?"
Raven turned away slightly and looked down at the floor as she guiltily said, "There's still a lot you guys don't know about me. I know we've been through a lot together there are still some things about me you're better off not knowing. Trust me. There are some secrets that should stay secret, but I guess nothing lasts forever."
Beast Boy held his head in stress as the buildup was killing him and he begged, "Will you just tell us already?! This buildup is killing me!"
Raven looked at them as she took a deep breath and regretfully said, "I'm not the only child of Trigon. I have six younger brothers. And they're all here."
The others all gasped in shock and horror as they leaned back with their mouths agape while Arella shut her eyes in pity.
Commercial break
The Titans were sitting on the couch in the main room while Raven and Arella stood in front of them to explain everything.
Cyborg was still somewhat confused as he pointed at Raven and said, "So, you have six younger brothers?"
Raven looked at him and held her hand out towards Arella as she answered, "Half-brothers. Same father different mothers."
Beast Boy expressed wishful thinking as he asked, "Are they like you?"
Raven looked at Beast Boy as she bluntly answered, "You wish. If you think I'm creepy just wait until you see them."
Beast Boy immediately showed fear as he turned into a dog and whimpered, then Starfire asked, "But why did the monks of Azarath not teach them to use their powers for good like you?"
Arella then held her hand up as she said, "Perhaps I should explain."
She then made a bright white orb of light in her hand and made it explode as she created an illusion around them. The Titans looked around in awe until fire appeared and then the illusion showed the six hooded boys who were helping Psimon. They had their hoods down to show their faces, which were quite frightening as they did not look at all like Raven. They all had dark red skin, pointed ears, black hair, small fangs, and glowing red eyes that made them look just like Trigon. One of them was slightly bigger than the others as he had a large round belly, but also muscular arms and legs and large hands. The second had a build similar to Beast Boy, but his hair was long as it reached his shoulders and he had short curved horns on his forehead. The third brother had a build like Robin's, with hair that was almost spikey like his, but his fangs were slightly bigger than the others. The fourth son was the shortest and he had the longest hair as his was almost as long as Starfire's but he had sharp claws on his fingers as well as small horns on his head. The fifth brother the same size as Robin but he had very short black hair and small horns sticking out of the sides of his head and a slightly pointy nose. The sixth and final boy had a slightly muscular build but was as tall as Robin with short black hair and a big chin. They all wore matching outfits; they had hooded cloaks like Raven's but they were black and they wore long black shirts and pants that covered everything except their hands, and they had black shoes.
Arella moved her hand toward the boys as she explained, "These are Trigon's six young sons: Gluttony, Envy, Greed, Sloth, Lust, and Wrath."
Cyborg stared at the illusions of the sons as he sarcastically said, "Nice names. Their dad pick them himself?"
Robin glared at the illusions as he said, "They definitely look as bad as Trigon."
The illusion changed to show Trigon's realm as he towered over the boys with an evil grin while Arella said, "Each boy was conceived by Trigon shortly after Raven, and after they were born Trigon used his power to take them to his realm. He raised them to be as evil as him and taught to use their powers to bring pain and suffering."
Starfire became concerned as she asked, "They are as powerful as Raven?"
Arella looked back at the Titans as she explained, "They share Raven's abilities, however Raven's powers were perfected by her training with the monks of Azarath, making her superior. However, Trigon's sons are still very powerful and each has his own unique power."
The Titans were interested and worried as Robin seriously asked, "How did they get here? Shouldn't they be trapped in their own dimension?"
Arella then changed the illusion to show the end of the world with the boys flying around while Trigon stomped through the ruins of the city. Then the illusion showed Raven in her white outfit with longer hair as she defeated Trigon and saved the Earth. While Trigon was destroyed his six sons joined hands and used their powers to create a force-field around themselves while the world changed. When the world became bright and sunny they all hissed in disgust before flying away and leaving the city together.
While all of this was shown Arella explained, "When the prophecy was fulfilled and Trigon brought the end of the world his sons were freed as well. Raven saved the world when she vanquished Trigon, but his six young sons used their combined powers to escape being sent back to their dimension. With Trigon destroyed and his rule over they had no choice but to retreat, biding their time until they would be ready to strike themselves."
The illusion vanished and Raven looked at her friends a she seriously said, "Now that time has come and they've enlisted Psimon to help them."
The Titans were shocked as Beast Boy held his right palm up and asked, "Raven, why didn't you tell us any of this before?!"
Cyborg was also baffled as he said, "Yeah! Why'd you wait until the last minute?!"
Raven showed regret as she honestly answered, "I didn't want to worry you guys, and I wasn't sure they were still here. I suspected they might have stayed but I didn't know for sure, so I kept it to myself and hoped they would never come."
The others' expressions softened as they understood and forgave her as Cyborg kindly said, "Okay, if you weren't a hundred percent certain they were here I can see keeping it to yourself until you knew for sure."
Robin stood up with a serious expression as he said, "So Trigon's sons are here and are no doubt trying to take over the planet just like he did! How do we stop them?!"
Raven looked down as she pessimistically said, "You can't."
Beast Boy smiled as he eagerly stood up and said, "That's never stopped us before!"
Cyborg stood up with his eyes narrowed in a fierce manner as he said, "Yeah Raven! We're not just gonna stand by and let them hex the world!"
Starfire floated in the air and smiled optimistically as she said, "Agreed! Raven, I have defeated my evil sister, so I would be most happy to help you defeat your evil half-brothers."
Robin walked up to her and put his hand on her shoulder as he sincerely said, "I know you feel like this is something you need to do yourself, but we're here to help you no matter what."
Beast Boy smiled as he walked up next to Robin and said, "Yeah, you can't get rid of us that easily!"
Raven was touched but reluctant until Arella said, "Your friends are right Raven. They are all very strong in both body and spirit. You will need their help if you are to defeat your brothers."
Trusting her mother's judgement Raven turned from her to her friends and said, "Alright. Thanks everyone."
Arella smiled proudly as she placed her hand on Raven's shoulder and said, "I have faith in you my daughter."
She then kissed Raven on the forehead before disappearing in a bright white light to the others' amazement while Raven smiled happily.
Cyborg was somewhat dumbfounded as he rubbed his head and said, "Well you definitely have her mystic charm, or whatever."
Robin then showed a serious expression as he looked at the others and urgently said, "Okay, we need to figure out where Psimon retreated to. If we find him we can make him lead us to where the sons of Trigon are hiding."
Raven turned to the others with a serious expression as she said, "We don't need to track them, I have a pretty good idea where they are."
The others stared at her with wide eyes before glancing at each other, then they looked at her as Beast Boy asked, "Okay. Where?"
Meanwhile, Psimon was floating with Trigon's sons in their hideout, which was none other than the mysterious tomb beneath the abandoned library. It was the chamber that had the mark of Scath, where Raven fulfilled the prophecy of her birth and opened the way for him to come to Earth. They were all in the very chamber in the bottom of the tomb with the statue of the hand where Raven was supposed to go. However the light was gone as the prophecy had already been fulfilled and Trigon was vanquished, but the architecture was the same as Raven had restored everything when she defeated Trigon. Nevertheless, the chamber was still as ominous and creepy as it was before the prophecy had been fulfilled, even more so with Trigon's sons in it. The boys still had their hoods up but their mouths were visible as they smiled evilly and eagerly awaited their sister's arrival.
Psimon had his arms folded as he started to grow impatient and asked, "Why are we just sitting here? Why don't we just go to their Tower and face them now?!"
Sloth frowned at Psimon as he annoyedly stated, "Calm yourself Psimon. Raven will come soon enough."
Lust smiled evilly with his fingertips together as he said, "And then the fun begins."
Psimon was still impatient until suddenly a giant raven of dark energy appeared and shrieked before landing. The Titans all emerged from the giant raven as Raven herself appeared in front of them and her giant bird of black magic vanished behind them.
Beast Boy glanced around with a creeped out expression as he complained, "Figures! They had to be hiding here!"
Psimon smiled evilly at the Titans as he said, "Perfect timing."
Raven floated in the air as she glared daggers at her half-brothers and said, "Greed, Lust, Sloth, Gluttony, Wrath, and Envy!"
All of her half-brothers floated in front of Psimon with evil grins as they pulled their hoods down to show their faces.
Greed stared at Raven with an evil grin as he said, "Welcome sister."
Raven glared at all of them with hatred as she spitefully said, "We may be related, but you are NOT my brothers!"
Envy glared at her as he said, "You always believed yourself to be better than the rest of us."
Raven kept glaring at them as she firmly said, "Because I AM better than you!"
Beast Boy glared at them as he exclaimed, "Yeah! What she said!"
Wrath smiled sadistically as he started cracking his knuckles and said, "We're glad you brought your friends. This wouldn't be nearly as fun if it were just you."
Gluttony put his fingertips together as he ravenously said, "Yes! This will be entertaining!"
Robin glared at them as they all stood in fighting stances and he defiantly said, "Sorry to spoil your fun but you're all going to meet the same fate as Trigon!"
They were not deterred as greed smiled evilly and said, "We'll see."
The six sons of Trigon joined together and held their hands out as they combined their powers and shot out blasts of black magic like Raven's but with glowing red outlines instead of white. Their blasts all hit Raven at the same time and knocked her down as she cried in pain while the others hurried to her.
Robin showed concern as he said, "Raven! Are you okay?"
Raven said nothing as she stood up with her eyes glowing white and Beast Boy seriously said, "She's fine, let's do this!"
Raven started flying as she shouted, "Titans go!"
They all followed her as Beast Boy morphed into a Pteranodon Cyborg activated his left sonic cannon, and Robin pulled out his bo. Psimon smiled as he used his telekinesis to separate the others from Raven while she was surrounded by her half-brothers.
Psimon floated in front of the others as Beast Boy demanded, "Get out of our way dude!"
Psimon had his arms folded as he smiled evilly and said, "I don't think so. This is a family affair, but I'll gladly fight you four myself."
He shot a pink beam of psionic energy from his forehead but the Titans scattered to avoid it before they all advanced at him.
Meanwhile Raven was surrounded by her half-brothers as Lust evilly said, "Join us sister. With all seven of us together we will be unstoppable and wreak havoc upon the universe."
Raven glared at them all as she defiantly said, "Never!"
She fired blasts of magical black lightning but Greed countered them with his own bolts of energy that seemed very different.
He stared at Raven as he ambitiously said, "Yes you will. You see Raven, we need you if we are to succeed in our plan."
Raven kept glaring at them as she said, "You'll never win! Not if I can help it! I'm still more powerful than you boys!"
She then threw her arms out at her sides and sent a ripple of her black magic at all of them, knocking them all back.
They recovered and floated in the air as Wrath said, "You may be more powerful than each of us separately, but together our power is greater!"
They all fired blasts of their black and red magic at Raven, but she created a force-field around herself, however their blasts were very powerful. She started to show strain as she struggled to keep her shield up while they kept pouring it on with evil grins. Meanwhile Psimon telekinetically hurled large stones at the other Titans as they dodged them before Starfire threw a few starbolts at him. He dodged them and Cyborg prepared to fire his sonic cannon when Psimon held his hand out and telekinetically moved Cyborg's arm and made him fire his sonic cannon at Starfire. She was blasted into a wall and Cyborg was shocked, then Psimon telekinetically lifted him in the air and threw him away. He then turned and saw Beast Boy flying toward him as a Pteranodon with Robin riding on his back as he threw an explosive disc at him. Psimon moved his arm to his side as he telekinetically made the disc fly away before exploding, then he fired a psionic beam that knocked Robin off of Beast Boy. Beast Boy kept flying toward Psimon as a Pteranodon before turning into an octopus and trying to ensnare him, but Psimon telekinetically threw him away.
The Titans got back on their feet while Psimon arrogantly gloated, "Foolish children! I can read your every thought! I can see every move you make coming and counteract it!"
Beast Boy then smiled slyly as he turned into a bird and flew at Psimon, who smiled evilly but did not predict anything. He could read Beast Boy's mind but did not know what he would do as Beast Boy changed into a ram and hit him, knocking him to the floor. Psimon got back on his feet but Beast Boy changed into a gorilla and grabbed him before throwing him at a wall, knocking him out.
Beast Boy turned human and smiled proudly when Robin commended, "Nice going Beast Boy! How'd you do that?"
Beast Boy smiled proudly as he said, "Easy, I fought without thinking."
Cyborg smiled sassily as he said, "Well, not thinking is what you're good at."
Beast Boy ignored him as he looked at Raven and said, "Come on! We've gotta help Raven!"
The others agreed as they hurried to help Raven, who was still trapped in her force-field as her half brothers kept blasting with their power. Beast Boy suddenly flew at Sloth as a Pteranodon and grabbed him in his feet and carried him away before throwing him down. Cyborg blasted Gluttony with his sonic cannon and sent him crashing into a wall of the chamber, while Starfire flew at Lust and tackled him. Robin swung from his grapple and kicked Envy in the face and knocked him to the ground; Greed and Wrath stopped blasting at Raven as they looked at their brothers fighting the other Titans. Suddenly they were both hit by a blast of Raven's black energy and crashed into the wall behind them before they saw her glaring at them.
They both took flight and then Greed arrogantly said, "The two of us should be able to defeat you sister."
Raven's hands were encased in her black magic as she said, "Time for the moment of truth."
She then shot two beams of her dark energy from her hands but they dodged them, then Wrath's fists lit on fire while bolts of black and red electricity surged from Greed's body. He shot bolts of black and red lightning from his body while Wrath threw fireballs, but Raven blocked them with a shield before encasing objects in her black magic and hurling them at them. Meanwhile Robin fought Envy as he swung his bo at him twice; he knocked him down and then Envy fired a blast of his black and red magic at Robin. Robin dodged it and jabbed Envy in the stomach with his bo, knocking him back, then Envy glared at Robin with hatred.
Envy kept glaring at Robin before holding his hands out as he said, "You think your weapons are so great, but watch this!"
He then created a sword out of his black and red magic and held it in his hands before swinging it at Robin. Robin was startled as he dodged the magic blade two times before blocking the sword, only for his bo staff to be sliced in two. Envy smiled arrogantly until Robin twirled both pieces of his bo and hit Envy in the face before jumping and kicking him in the stomach.
He spoke proudly as he said, "Weapons are only as good as the warriors using them."
Envy gritted his teeth before attacking Robin again, meanwhile Starfire threw a few starbolts at Lust, but he blocked them with a shield of his black and red magic. He dropped his shield and then smiled evilly as he fired red eyebeams from all four of his eyes, blasting Starfire and sending her crashing threw a wall. He smiled triumphantly until Starfire flew out of the hole and flew around him with superspeed and then got behind Lust.
She fired her eyebeams and blasted him to the ground before she said, "Your eyes are not the only ones with such power!"
Lust took flight again and then he angrily shot his eyebeams at her again, but Starfire blocked them with a shield of her starbolt energy and then flew at him. Meanwhile Cyborg fought Gluttony as he jumped and grabbed him before slamming him into the ground, then he grunted in fury as he punched him. He punched Gluttony in the face several times before he grabbed Cyborg's fist in his hand and then got on his feet while holding him in place. He then smiled evilly before punched Cyborg in the face and sent him flying through the air and crashing into a wall, leaving a dent in the shape of his body.
Cyborg got up and was impressed when Gluttony said, "I am the biggest and strongest of the team!"
He then smiled as he flew at Starfire and grabbed him before slamming him down on the ground, then he flew down to smash both of his fists down on top of him. Cyborg immediately raised his left foot and activated the sonic blaster in it, hitting Gluttony and sending flying straight up and crashing into the ceiling.
Cyborg got up and smiled smugly as he said, "I'll bet you're not the smartest of your group!"
He then activated his Jump Jets to help launch himself at Gluttony, who started flying down and they both prepared to punch each other. Meanwhile Beast Boy fought Sloth, who angrily slashed his claws at a green Pachycephalosaurus, but Beast Boy dodged them before headbutting him. Sloth got up and threw his arms out as he shot a beam of black and red magic at Beast Boy, but he turned into a hummingbird and dodged it while flying at him. When he came close he morphed into a kangaroo and kicked Sloth, knocking him back into a wall behind him. Sloth glared at him as he held his hands out and created a small swarm of monstrous bats of his black and red magic, all with four glowing red eyes. The bats of energy flew at Beast Boy, but he changed into a sasquatch and swung his fists as he destroyed each and every one of them. Sloth then waved his hands and create five four-eyed hooded monsters that flew at Beast Boy and slashed their claws. He changed into a fly and dodged their attacks, then he morphed into a rhino and charged at one, destroying it. He changed into a lion and jumped and slashed his claws at the second, then morphed into a bear and slashed both his paws at the third. He morphed into a crocodile and chomped on the fourth before flying over the fifth as a bird, then he turned into an elephant and fell on it and crushed it.
Sloth floated in the air as he glared at Beast Boy and said, "I enjoy your shapeshifting, but you're not the only one who can be monstrous."
He then held his hands out and created a monster of his black and red magic around him; a twenty-foot four-eyed monster with a large snout full of razor sharp teeth. He had a long main of hair, his arms were slightly longer than his legs, and he had sharp claws on his fingers and toes. He roared ferociously as he attacked Beast Boy, but he turned into a bat and flew to avoid his claws as he went behind the monster. He then morphed into a T-Rex and roared as he charged at him and bit his arm while forcing him backwards as they both stomped. Sloth stopped him and pulled his arm free before punching Beast Boy in the face, but the green T-Rex turned around and swung his tail at the monster, knocking him down. He then stomped on the monster's chest and pinned him down while the monster roared while waving its long tongue. Beast Boy roared down at him before chomping on the neck, then the monster disappeared leaving only Sloth left, then Beast Boy rammed him with his head and knocked him away.
He changed human and smiled proudly as he said, "I'm an animal, not a monster!"
He then turned into a tiger and roared as he charged toward Sloth, meanwhile Raven was still fighting Wrath and Greed. Wrath angrily shot balls of fire from his hands while Greed fired bolts of his black and red lightning in every direction. Raven avoided the balls of fire and magical bolts of lightning before creating a giant raven around herself. It shrieked as it grabbed both of them in its feet before throwing them away, then they were joined by Gluttony, Lust, Envy, and Sloth as they were all knocked toward them by the others Titans. The giant raven vanished with Raven in its place as she was joined by her friends, and they had the sons of Trigon cornered against the wall.
The boys all floated with their hands encased in their black and red energy as Greed said, "You're all strong, but together you are no match for us."
Raven glared at them before turning to Starfire while she said, "We're stronger together too. Starfire! Sunspot!"
She nodded as Raven created a portal with her black magic and Starfire shot a ray of her starbolt energy through it. Raven closed the portal and opened another one as she made an even more powerful ray of starbolt energy emerge and blast her half-brothers. They were sent crashing through the wall and got up in pain as they got back on their feet while the Titans prepared to attack again.
The demon boys were joined by Psimon, then Greed said, "Alright sister. You and your friends have won this round, but this is not over!"
Psimon then opened a portal and then he and Trigon's sons escaped through it while the Titans watched them retreat.
Starfire smiled in delight as she said, "We are victorious!"
Raven looked at her friends with a dead serious expression as she said, "No! Greed was right. This is just the beginning. We've won the battle, but not the war."
Beast Boy waved his right hand down as he smiled and tiredly said, "Big deal. We'll kick their butts another day. I say we go home and get some sleep."
Cyborg smiled as he looked at Raven and said, "BB's right Rae. It's been a long night. Let's go home and get some rest."
Raven calmed herself a bit as she nodded and then she moved her hands and encased herself and her friends in a field of her black magic and then they all disappeared. Later at the tower, Raven was lying in her bed as she tried to get some sleep, but she had too much on her mind to relax. She had her eyes shut but she kept tossing and turning as she worried more about her half-brothers and what they might be planning.
She stopped trying to sleep as she opened her eyes and stared toward the ceiling and said, "They need me to help them takeover, and they'll just keep coming until I help them. I need to figure out how to get rid of them for good."
Suddenly she heard a knocking on her door and sat up and stared at it with a startled expression, she flew to her door but did not bother putting her robe on. She opened the door but saw no one as she glanced back and forth, until she looked down and saw something on the floor. It was a purple rose in a small vase with a note attached to it, Raven was surprised as she picked it up and looked at it. The rose was quite lovely and she did like the color, then she read the note with a surprised expression, unaware someone was watching her.
The note read, " Something to help you feel better. -Beast Boy."
Beast Boy was staring down the hall before he took off running, Raven heard him as she looked toward where he once stood, but he was already gone. However, she knew well that it was him and she smiled with appreciation as she went back into her room and closed her door behind her. She put the rose on a shelf near her bed and then got back in with a small smile on her face as she thought about Beast Boy and the others.
She closed her eyes as she started to relax and said to herself, "At least I won't have to face them alone."
She soon drifted into her sleep, meanwhile Psimon was talking with her half-brothers in a dark cave in the woods.
Psimon expressed his frustration at the sons of Trigon as he said, "That plan was a bitter failure! The Titans defeated our forces and we were forced to retreat!"
Gluttony angrily pointed at Psimon as he said, "Don't raise your voice to us! You let yourself be defeated by their little green pet!"
Psimon was vexed as he said, "That boy is a thorn in my side, just like the rest of them."
Envy had his arms folded as he bitterly said, "We have to eliminate those friends of Raven if we're going to get her."
Psimon spoke firmly as he said, "She will never join our cause, we should just destroy her."
They all simultaneously glared at Psimon with their eyes glowing red as they simultaneously yelled, "NO!"
Psimon was frightened by them when Wrath pointed at him and said, "If we are to conquer this realm we need Raven!"
Greed agreed as he seriously said, "Yes, only with her power will we finally be able to claim our family's domain!"
Psimon expressed doubt as he said, "But we will never agree to help us and the other Titans will never let her."
Sloth agreed with an annoyed expression as he said, "He's right. We'll need more help if we're going to eliminate them."
Greed glanced around at all of them with a fierce expression as he said, "Then we will find others and make them serve us! Nothing will stand in our way of conquering this world! Raven will help us, whether she wants to or not!"
The brothers agreed as they turned around and stared out the cave into the night while the screen faded to black, only showing their red eyes before dimming.
Credits
Author's note: That's the end of the first chapter. Raven's evil half-brothers have come and are planning on doing the same thing Trigon did. I tried to make each of their personalities match their names, and I wanted to give them each their own unique power that the others didn't have. Gluttony being super strong makes sense, I partially got that idea from Cyborg. He's maybe stronger than Cyborg but not as strong as Starfire, though he's still more powerful than both of them. With their combined power they could beat Raven, so it's a good thing she has her friends by her side. I wanted to do that to show how dangerous they are, but also show that they're not invincible. Also, similar to Slade in season 4, Psimon is helping Trigon's sons. I read online that in the original comics Trigon gave him his powers, so it fits that he'd help them. I imagine him being voiced by Jeffrey Combs. I have big plans for this fanfiction, I'll introduce some new characters, both my own original characters and ones from the comics. I'll also have some nice BBRae moments. Please review.
