Note: We've made it to the season finale. This is going to be a big episode and I will end it with a bang. We'll see some cool action, suspense, and emotional moments.

Pride and Prejudice Part 2

The sky over Jump City was dark and ominous as storm clouds swirled overhead with bolts of red lightning shooting in different directions. In the tomb under the abandoned library, Raven's evil clone, Pride, was with her brothers and their underlings. Pride and her brothers all had their hoods down, showing their evil faces as they all leered forward, confident in their evil plan. Beast Boy watched Pride with an evil smile as his pupils were still red, for he was still corrupted by their dark magic. Malchior stood behind them while Psimon floated next to him and they both watched with evil grins on their faces.

Pride smiled evilly as she faced away from them as she said, "Our time has finally come! I'll fulfill my true destiny and we'll all finally rule!"

Her brothers all smiled evilly as they raised their fists and chanted, "We shall rule! We shall rule! We shall rule!"

Pride turned around and walked toward them with a sinister grin as she said, "Trigon is destroyed but his legacy lives on, and with him gone there's a void for a new stronger evil to fill!"

Lust smirked wickedly as he said, "Namely us!"

Pride looked at Lust with an evil grin as she confirmed, "Yes Lust. Our names will be forever known and feared by every living thing!"

Psimon had his arms crossed as he smiled ambitiously and said, "And a new age will begin and we shall rule as part of it, under our true masters."

Pride passed her brothers and looked at their underlings as she said, "Yes, you'll all be rewarded for your service and spared the fate of everyone who tries to stop us."

Malchior looked down at her with an evil look in his eyes as he smiled and said, "I'm so glad to see my time with Raven has finally paid off. Although I very much prefer you to her."

Pride smiled wickedly as she walked past them and stared into space as she continued, "Good, because we're going to need each other if we're going to secure our future. With our combined power we'll summon an army of darkness and spread evil across this world, then to all other worlds, and everyone will fear the children of Trigon!"

Beast Boy locked his hands together with a sinister smile as he said, "Oh dude! This is gonna be awesome!"

Wrath joined Pride as he maniacally said, "With you by our side sister we will conquer this dimension and evil will triumph over good."

Pride sternly looked at him as he said, "Don't overstep Wrath, we'll only succeed as long as you all do what I say. I'm the most powerful of us and I won't have any of you ruining our plan. You won't rule anything without me! Understand?"

Wrath, Lust, Greed, Sloth, Gluttony, and Envy all showed vexed expressions as they simultaneously said, "Yes sister."

Pride was satisfied as she smiled maniacally and said, "Good. With our powers and ambitions, together we're invincible."

While she kept talking the screen showed Titans Tower, brightly lit as Robin, Starfire, and Cyborg stared out the window at the city with concerned expressions. Raven was in the infirmary without her cloak as she levitated inches above a bed with her eyes shut as she was healing herself. She stopped floating and gently descended onto the bed before opening her eyes and sitting up as she looked out the window nervously.

While all of this was shown Pride spoke arrogantly as she said, "And there's no one who can stop us, especially not me."

Opening theme song

Raven stood up in the infirmary as she stared out the window with her hand on the glass as she showed a mixture of sadness and fear. She made her cloak fly to her as she put it on and walked out the of the infirmary to go talk to her friends. Robin was staring out the window of the main room as he focused on the storm with a troubled expression.

He stared at the storm before turning to Starfire and Cyborg while he said, "It's been almost twenty-four hours and there's been no change. I don't like this."

Starfire was also troubled as she looked out the window while holding herself and said, "Agreed Robin. This is most distressing."

Cyborg also stared out the window as he ominously said, "Yeah, there's a bad storm here and it's not going away anytime soon."

They heard a door open as Raven entered and said, "And it's only going to get worse, trust me."

They all looked at her as she walked to them and Starfire smiled as she said, "Raven, you are awake!"

Robin showed concern as he selflessly asked, "How are you feeling?"

Raven spoke somewhat pessimistically as she answered, "Physically I feel fine. Emotionally I don't feel well."

Cyborg could relate as he nodded and agreed, "Yeah, I hear ya Rae."

Starfire smiled as she looked at each of them and optimistically said, "Do not despair. We will stop the sons of Trigon and save the world."

Raven looked at Starfire with an unconfident expression before hanging her head as she said, "I like your optimism Starfire, but I'm not liking our odds, especially since we're one Titan short."

They all frowned as they looked down in sadness, remembering how the demon brothers had used their powers to turn Beast boy evil.

Suddenly their monitor turned on to reveal Slade who snidely said, "Hello Titans, is this a bad time?"

They were startled but glared at the screen as Robin said, "Slade! What do you want?!"

Slade eyed them as he snidely said, "Lovely weather we're having, I take it you all have seen it, no doubt the work of Raven's brothers. I also saw your battle the other night and noticed that they seemed to have created a duplicate of Raven, and Beast Boy is now helping them."

Raven's body was covered in black fire as she glared daggers while Cyborg angrily said, "If you called just to gloat hang up and bug someone else! We got more important things to do!"

Slade then spoke coyly as he eyed them and said, "As much as I'm enjoying your suffering, I'm here to offer you some free advice."

Robin cocked an eyebrow as he suspiciously asked, "What kind of advice?"

Slade leaned forward as he said, "The last time we met I told you to be prepared for the worst. If you truly wish to protect this city and this world, you need to be willing to do whatever it takes to succeed. Whatever it takes."

He hung up and the screen went black, the others calmed down but were still vexed while Robin looked down in a conflicted manner.

Robin turned to his friends as he uneasily said, "Guys, I hate to admit it, but I think Slade might be right."

They were shocked and baffled as they looked at him and Cyborg said, "Whatcha talkin bout Robin?!"

Robin spoke honestly as he held his left palm up and showed a bit of guilt as he said, "Raven's brothers and clone are about to unleash some kind of evil upon the world, and Malchior, Psimon, and Beast Boy are not going to let us stop them. I never thought I'd say this, but if we're going to stop them we may have to make a hard choice."

The others became concerned as Starfire put her hands together and said, "You are not suggesting that we destroy Beast Boy?"

Robin expressed reluctance as he honestly said, "I'm hoping we won't have to, but if we can't undo what they've done to him, we may have no choice."

Raven had pleading eyes as she said, "Robin, Beast Boy's our friend! My brothers have corrupted him, this isn't his fault!"

Robin had a guilty expression as he held his hand out to them and said, "I know! Believe me, I don't want to do it anymore than the rest of you, but if there's no other way to stop them, we may have to make some sacrifices."

They all frowned as they hung their heads, Raven stared down at the floor as she sadly admitted, "It would be better than letting them keep him and treat him like a lapdog, but we can't just give up on him."

Robin held his palms out with a sad expression as he claimed, "I'd love to give him a chance to come back to us, but I don't know that he'll take it."

Cyborg leaned his back against the wall as he lamented, "I keep trying to believe we can do this but I'm just not seeing a light at the end of this tunnel."

Suddenly a bright white orb appeared in the room, shining so brightly that the Titans had to shield their eyes.

It lit up the whole room as Starfire peeked through her left eye and said, "Perhaps you have spoken too soon Cyborg."

A flash went off and the light dissipated and they were shocked to see Arella standing in front of them with her hands in her sleeves.

Robin, Cyborg, and Starfire simultaneously said, "Arella!"

Raven stared at her with much emotion as she said, "Mother!"

She ran to Arella and hugged her, and Arella hugged her back before they separated and Arella smiled lovingly at her.

The others stepped closer as Robin said, "You're here to help?"

Arella spoke wisely and calmly as she said, "I do not offer help, but hope."

Meanwhile in the tomb, Pride was using her telekinesis to move some objects as she was preparing for something.

Pride turned to the others as she strictly said, "Come on boys, give me a hand here. We need to get everything ready for the ritual."

Wrath complied as he vexedly said, "Yes dear sister."

They took flight and used their own telekinesis to move some more objects and rested them on the side of the chambers. Psimon floated in the air as he moved some stolen artifacts that he knew they would need for what they would about to do. Malchior moving boxes in with his hands while Beast Boy carried one as a gorilla before dropping it, and it sounded like something broke inside it.

Malchior was annoyed as he looked down at Beast Boy and said, "Careful with those you beast of burden! We need these items to complete the ceremony!"

Beast Boy swiftly turned human and then angrily pointed up at Malchior and said, "Hey watch it lizard dude! Just 'cause I'm on your side now doesn't mean I like you! Push me too far and I'll kick your dragon butt!"

Malchior lowered his head to Beast Boy as he threatened, "Do not test me Beast Boy! I will gladly incinerate you if you don't show respect!"

They both glared at each other until a blast of black and red energy hit the ground between them and Pride came over.

She glared at them with her four glowing red eyes as she approached them and impatiently said, "Arguing solves nothing! Are we here to fight or are we here to fulfill our destinies?"

Malchior growled at Beast Boy before getting back to work, as Psimon joined him and they both started moving things.

Beast Boy chuckled as he pointed his right finger at Pride with a twisted grin and said, "You're definitely Raven's clone."

She chuckled with a twistedly amused expression as she said, "And you're definitely less annoying like this. Now get back to work, we still have to prepare for the ceremony. When it's done our guests will arrive shortly."

Beast Boy became curious as she turned around and she stopped when he asked, "Guests? What guests? What are we doing all this for?"

Pride had an evil grin as she looked at him out of the corner of her eyes and said, "Let's just say we're brining the whole family."

Back at the Tower, the four Titans were sitting on the couch with Silkie while Arella stood in front of them with a calm yet urgent expression.

Arella was gravely serious as she said, "Raven, you have a great challenge ahead. Your brothers are about to make their move."

Cyborg was stressed as he said, "Tell us something we don't know. They already made an evil clone of Raven, and used their black magic to turn Beast Boy against us!"

Robin curiously looked up at Arella as he asked, "Arella, we've been preparing to face Trigon's sons but things have been quiet so far. What are they planning?"

Arella regretfully informed them, "They are planning to unleash a horror upon this and all worlds by raising a demonic army of great power."

Raven's eyes widened in shock as she walked to her mother and worriedly asked, "Are you saying… the others are coming?"

Arella shut her eyes as she regretfully said, "I'm afraid so."

Raven was worried while Starfire curiously asked, "Others?"

Arella looked at the Titans with a heavy heart as she explained, "They plan to summon Trigon's other children."

Cyborg's eyes bugged in shock as he pointed at Raven and said, "There's more?! I thought the six sins were your only kinfolk!"

Raven looked at her friends as she regretfully said, "These are just my younger brothers."

Their eyes widened in shock as Robin pointed his right finger and asked, "So you're saying that you also have older brothers?"

She nodded with a frown as she answered, "Yes, and sisters."

He and Cyborg were alarmed while Starfire put her hands together and nervously asked, "Why did you warn us about this sooner!?"

Raven looked at them out of the corner of her eye as she honestly said, "I didn't think we had to worry about them. Wrath, Lust, Envy, Sloth, Gluttony, and Greed are the only ones on Earth, so they were the only ones I was worried about."

Arella spoke as an image showed Trigon being defeated and the world returning to normal while the six brothers remained, then it showed a black void with dozens of quartets of glowing red eyes.

This was shown before it ended while Arella gravely explained, "When Raven vanquished Trigon and saved the world, the six sons you already know managed to stay, while the rest of his offspring were sent back to their dark realm. They plan to open a portal to free all of Trigon's children. Their power alone was not enough to free them all, that is why they created that dark clone of Raven. With her power added to all of theirs, they'll be able to release all of their siblings."

The Titans were all uneasy as Cyborg shut his eyes and held his head as he wearily commented, "So we're in for an evil family reunion."

Robin was suspicious as he knew he wouldn't like the answer when he asked, "Exactly how many children did Trigon have?"

Raven shut her eyes with regret as she answered, "Hundreds."

Starfire gasped in horror while Cyborg held his head and stressfully said, "Aww man! Those six were bad enough!"

Starfire agreed with a worried expression as she complained, "And the dark clone of Raven is much worse than imagined!"

Raven looked down as she pessimistically said, "Each of them are at least as powerful as Wrath and the others, some are even more powerful than me."

Starfire and Cyborg gaped in fear as Cyborg frantically exclaimed, "We can't stand against that much power!"

Robin stood up with a serious expression as he pulled out his Communicator while saying, "You're right Cyborg. If they free all their brothers and sisters nothing will stop them. It'll be the end of the world all over again. I'm calling for backup."

Raven looked at him as she adamantly said, "No! This is my fight! I have to do this alone! I won't put anyone else in danger!"

Cyborg narrowed his eyes as he pointed at Raven and firmly said, "Raven you can argue all you want, there's no way we're sitting this one out!"

Starfire nodded as she sincerely said, "Agreed, we will not allow you to face this danger alone."

Robin held up his Communicator as he firmly said, "Raven, if we're going to do this we're going to need all the help we can get."

Arella spoke up as she said, "Your friends are right Raven."

Raven was surprised as she turned to her mother and said, "But mother, I'm not sure whether or not I can stop this, and if I can't I don't to put my friends in harm's way."

Arella placed her hand on Raven's shoulder as she comfortingly said, "I understand your fears Raven, but you need your friends just as much as they need you. You are the only one who can stop this tragedy, but you will need all of our help if you are to succeed."

Robin stepped forward as he solemnly said, "And Raven, we're all willing to listen to you and follow your orders in this battle."

Raven thought hard and then seriously pointed at Robin before turning to the window while saying, "Okay, but the Titans alone won't be enough to stop this. Call every ally we have and tell them to get here and make sure they know what we're about to face. I have a feeling we don't have much time before they start the spell, and they're going to probably already getting ready for us."

Meanwhile in the tomb, Pride and her brothers were drawing the symbol of Skath on the floor while Beast Boy, Psimon, and Malchior watched. They also spread a circle of powder around the symbol and had six lit torches on the edges as they were preparing the ritual. They'd also set up crystals on the foreheads of the statues that looked like the one Raven wore on her forehead, but much bigger. They also put up small pillars around the symbol as well as various red inscriptions written on the floor around the symbols.

Pride was smiling evilly as she held Beast Boy, who was a cat, and stroked him while saying, "That's everything we need to perform the ritual."

Lust smiled maniacally as he stared at the altar they made and said, "Then our moment of triumph is at hand!"

Malchior had a diabolical smile as he said, "At last."

Pride leaned over and put Beast Boy down as he climbed out of her hands and walked before changing back to his human form. He smiled evilly as he walked over to Pride's brothers and then turned to stare at the altar with them, having already been told their plan.

Beast Boy looked at Sloth with a devious smile as he curiously asked, "So there are more of you demon dudes?"

Sloth looked at him as he said, "Many more, and with Pride helping us we will summon all of them and conquer this dimension and all mortals will fall before us!"

Beast Boy had an evil grin as he said, "Sweet!"

Wrath smiled ambitiously as he looked down at the symbol before looking up while saying, "When the spell is complete the portal will open and all of our brothers and sisters shall join us as we claim this realm in the name of Trigon!"

Psimon had a huge smile as he arrogantly boasted, "And no one will stand in our way! Not even the Teen Titans!"

Beast Boy shot him a serious glare as he sternly said, "Don't get your hopes up just yet. I know them and they're not just gonna sit back and let us let a whole bunch of demons into the world, even if we do ask nicely."

Pride joined him with a serious expression as she said, "Beast Boy's right. They're going to try and stop us and we'll need more time to perform and complete the spell."

Malchior smiled as he arrogantly said, "Let them come. It will be my pleasure to finally crush them like insects!"

Beast Boy glared up at Malchior as he argued, "Won't work dude! They won't come alone, they'll call for backup! They're probably calling all the other Titans right now!"

Pride agreed as she looked at her brothers before turning to the others while she said, "He's right. No one can interfere with our ritual. We'll start the ceremony but we need you three to hold off the Titans long enough for us to complete it."

Beast Boy cocked an eyebrow while pointing his thumb at himself, Psimon, and Malchior saying, "Just us three?"

Psimon also expressed his own doubt as he said, "I must agree with the green one. If all the other Titans are coming I feel we won't be able to hold them off on our own."

Pride had a devious grin on her face as she said, "Don't worry, we'll give you some backup that should take care of theirs."

She and her brothers all raised their arms as they summoned a hoard of fire demons, which floated in the air and awaited commands.

Beast Boy smiled wickedly as he glanced at the fire demons and eagerly said, "Oh dude! This is gonna be awesome!"

Pride's brothers joined her at her sides as Greed diabolically said, "Yes! Now go! Make our claim to the world! Secure the city and spread pain and fear!"

Wrath had a ruthless expression as he clinched his fists and brutally said, "And to those who dare oppose you, show no mercy!"

Malchior raised his head high as he enthusiastically said, "Gladly!"

They turned around and started to leave the chamber until Pride grabbed Beast Boy's hand and said, "Beast Boy…"

He looked at her as he curiously said, "Huh?"

She had a sinister grin on her face as she suggested, "When you see your former friends I think it's time you show them just how vicious you can be. Maybe unleash your true power and show off your primal side."

Beast Boy smiled deviously as he said, "Pride, you're speaking my language."

She let him go and he morphed into a cheetah and ran after the others as they all left the chamber while she watched.

She turned back to her brothers as she evilly said, "Now that our welcoming committee is assembled, it's time we get ready for the guests of honor."

She stepped onto the symbol of Skath and stood in the center of it while her brothers gathered along the ring around it and focused their power. A red and black magical ring surrounded them as it swirled like a giant ring of fire as they begun the ritual.

Pride smiled sinisterly as she stared forward and said, "This brings back memories. Looks like we're fulfilling the prophecy all over again."

Commercial break

At Titans Tower, the Titans and Arella were in the main room as some of their reinforcements had already arrived. The Titans North, South, East, and West had already arrived, and so did Hot, Cold, Powerboy, Little Barda, Kid Flash, Thunder, and Lightning. The rest of the Titans were still on their way, but Robin had already informed them all of the current situation over the Communicator. Robin was on the computer as the screen showed Mento, for he had already told the Doom Patrol about everything, especially Beast Boy.

Mento had a serious expression as he said, "We're on our way! We've got our new recruits and we're flying right now! We'll be there as soon as possible!"

Robin showed appreciation as he said, "Thanks Mento. I'm glad you decided to help us."

He remained serious and showed determination as he said, "It's one thing when someone threatens the world, but messing with Beast Boy is taking things too far! If you see him tell him that we're coming for him!"

Robin nodded as he assured, "Will do!"

He hung up and Starfire curiously asked, "Robin, do you believe the Patrol of Doom can help save Beast Boy?"

Robin looked at her with sad uncertainty as he honestly said, "If they can't help Beast Boy, I don't know who can."

Cyborg looked at the others as he reported, "All the others are on their way, but we may have to wait a while before they get here."

Raven stared out the window and focused on the swirling storm with red lightning bolts as she said, "I'm not sure we can afford to wait."

Miss Martian walked up to her from behind as she optimistically said, "Don't worry Raven. We'll stop your brothers and save Beast Boy."

Jinx joined in as she proudly said, "Yeah, we've beaten them before we can do it again."

Raven looked at them as she said, "Not like this."

Cyborg showed a bit of optimism as he said, "Don't worry Rae, I got something special that might help even the odds, something new that they don't know about."

Bumblebee smiled happily as she gently punched his arm and said, "Now you're talking Sparky."

Raven spoke honestly as she said, "I appreciate all of your support but I'm still not sure that we'll be able to stop them. Even with all of your help we're still outmatched. There's nothing they won't do to get what they want, and if they open the portal to free all my other siblings, we'll never stop them from unleashing their evil upon this world and all other worlds."

Argent had her hand on her hip as she honestly said, "I know the stakes are high, but we're not backing down just because they've got a lot of monsters and bad magic."

The others all expressed their own agreement and Arella smiled at Raven as she said, "It comforts me to see you've found so many people determined to stand by you."

Raven couldn't help but smile in agreement as she looked at them, but then an alarm sounded until Robin hurried to the computer.

He narrowed his eyes as he said, "Trouble!"

Cyborg urgently pointed his finger as he exclaimed, "No kidding!"

They all looked out the window to see the clouds swirling faster and thousands of fire demons were flying over the city, some heading toward Titans Tower.

Starfire put her fists together as she nervously asked, "Have the brothers already opened the portal?"

Raven stared at the fire demons as she answered, "No, they're performing the ritual right now, this is just a distraction to keep us from interfering."

Robin stood up as he fearlessly said, "Well distraction or not, we can't just let them wreak havoc on our city!"

Raven agreed as she seriously turned to the others and said, "He's right! We have to protect the city and stop my brothers and clone from completing the spell!"

She was about to rush out with the others until Arella grabbed her shoulder and said, "You must look before you leap Raven. I did not come simply to warn you of your brothers' plan, but to prepare you for your challenge with something that I believe may allow you to prevail."

Raven was surprised and concerned as she looked at her friends saying, "But my friends…"

Robin held his hands out as he urgently said, "Raven, if your mother believes this can help us, then I say listen to her."

Cyborg agreed as he pounded his fist and eagerly said, "Yeah Raven, we can handle these fireflies on our own!"

Starfire smiled as she sincerely said, "Agreed! We shall keep their forces occupied while you and your mother devise your countermeasure."

Raven was reluctant but trusted them as she said, "Okay, be careful."

They all nodded before they ran out as Robin yelled, "Titans go!"

After they all left Raven curiously looked up at her mother as she said, "So, what do you have to teach me?"

Arella placed her hand on Raven's back as she escorted her out and said, "Come, I will show you."

Meanwhile all the Titans who were present arrived in the city as people were running in fear from fire demons overrunning everything.

Some of them stopped as they noticed the Titans and snarled viciously as Robin said, "Looks like we've got a firefight on our hands."

They all charged forward either on foot or by flying as they started battling the fire demons; Robin threw some discs that blew up fire demons while Cyborg blasted a few and Starfire threw starbolts. Kole crystalized herself and Gnarrk swung her at some fire demons and destroyed them while Jericho kicked one in the face and destroyed it. Argent made a giant flyswatter of her red energy and destroyed some fire demons while Red Star smashed two with his fists before shooting a ray of his red radiation that destroyed several more. Lightning flew with a lightning bolt tail as he zapped some fire demons and destroyed them while Thunder clapped and created a sonic boom that destroyed several surrounding him. Mas and Menos ran together as they circled some fire demons and created a small tornado that swirled them around before their flames went out. Speedy shot his arrows at some fire demons while Bumblebee zapped some with her stingers, and Aqualad was at the waterfront as he made a wave of water extinguish more. Jinx was surrounded by fire demons but her eyes glowed pink as she threw her arms out to her sides, sending out a hex in every direction that destroyed them all. Hot and Cold were separated as they destroyed some fire demons with their fists, then Hot used his heat vision while Cold blew his icy breath.

Bunker covered himself in a suit of armor made of his psionic bricks as he flew and smashed several fire demons with his fists. A couple fire demons flew at Hot Spot but he threw fireballs at them that blew them up, and Pantha clashed her claws and destroyed some other fire demons. Some other fire demons lashed their tendrils at Wildebeest, angering him as he roared and charged forward, smashing through them as he destroyed every single one in his path. Miss Martian threw a car and destroyed some fire demons but then she was surrounded and their heat was weakening her as she cringed in pain. Blue Beetle flew around her and rapidly blasted them with his plasma cannons, destroying them all, and Superboy blew his cold breath that reduced some to charcoal. She smiled gratefully before she flew, and Golden Eagle smashed some fire demons with his mace while Wonder Girl clanged her bracelets together, destroying a bunch in a shockwave of divine energy. Powerboy smashed some fire demons with his fists while Little Barda blasted some with her staff before smashing two more. Kid Flash zoomed around to dodge attacks from more fire demons, then he stopped and whirled his arms in circular motion, blowing out their flames and reducing them to charcoal. They all kept fighting the fire demons and destroyed them while Psimon and Malchior watched from the roof of a skyscraper.

Malchior looked vexed as he watched and said, "These persistent children are such annoying little gnats!"

Psimon had his arms folded as he smiled arrogantly and said, "It matters not Malchior. There is nothing they can do to stop the future."

Meanwhile, Pride was with her brothers in the tomb as they all levitated above the symbol on the floor with their hands out.

They all had their hoods up as they spoke in sync and chanted, "The gem was born of evil's fire. The gem shall be his portal. He comes to claim. He comes to sire the end of all things mortal."

They kept chanting this repeatedly as the magic swirling around them grew more powerful while they all focused their power on the ritual. Meanwhile, Raven was in her room reading one of her spellbooks with much focus while Arella stood in front of her.

She stopped reading with a tense expression as she said, "I've studied the spell you told me about but I can't do it."

Arella showed half a smile as she said, "Yes you can. You need to have more faith in yourself, or you will never succeed."

Raven did not argue but remained pessimistic as she explained, "I can't do it because I'm not powerful enough to perform this spell. Azar performed this spell centuries ago but he had help from many great sorcerers. I could never pull off this spell myself."

Arella placed her hand on Raven's shoulder as she sincerely said, "Raven, you are so determined to protect others you believe you must do everything by yourself, you must share responsibility with others and accept their help."

Raven was somewhat confused as she asked, "What do you mean?"

Arella firmly explained, "Your brothers managed to overpower you by combining their power, and they are performing this ritual by combining their power with that of your duplicate. If you are to defeat them you must combine your power with your friends."

Raven was not convinced as she said, "Mother, my friends can do some amazing things but none of them have the kind of power to perform this spell."

Arella tucked her hands into her sleeves as she calmly explained, "The monks of Azarath learned to draw strength from each other, and empower others with their own power. Your friends are willing to risk their lives to help you, you must draw strength from them to finally defeat your brothers and save the Earth."

Raven was somewhat intrigued as she asked, "How do I do that?"

Arella smiled as she held her right palm out toward Raven and answered, "Think of your friends and all the good they have done for you. Focus on how much they all mean to you and the moments when they gave you the strength you needed to conquer your own demons."

She closed her book and put it aside as she meditated, taking her mother's instructions to heart while levitating above the floor. She focused on memories she had with her friends, but thinking of them also made her worry a bit as she became distracted.

She showed a nervous expression as she kept her eyes closed and said, "I hope my friends can manage without me while I do this."

Arella nodded as she said, "I understand your concern Raven, but have faith in your friends. When you are ready you will fight for them just as they are fighting for you."

Raven trusted her mother as she took a deep breath and continued to meditate while focusing on her memories. Meanwhile the Titans were still fighting the fire demons as they managed to destroy all that came at them, and worked together to destroy more. Superboy and Miss Martian stood together as they both blew powerful gusts of cold wind that extinguished a dozen fire demons. Argent protected Gnarrk and Kole as she moved a giant water balloon of her red energy, full of water from the bay. She threw it and it popped, splashing a bunch of water that extinguished a couple dozen fire demons, and they waved to thank her. Aqualad moved his hands and made two water balls float from the bay and cover his hands, which he used like boxing gloves and extinguished two fire demons. One fire demon flew down behind him but was destroyed by a tiny Bumblebee before she grew to normal size as she and Aqualad smiled at each other. Lightning shot two bolts of lightning from his hands and destroyed two fire demons while Thunder shot a sonic blast that destroyed three more. Cyborg lashed his energy whips at some fire demons and destroyed them while Robin threw discs that spread foam that extinguished a few fire demons. The Titans South were fighting together as Bunker punched two fire demons with boxing gloves made of his psionic bricks. A few fire demons came at them but Jinx hexed a nearby fire hydrant, and it sprayed the fire demons with water and reduced them to steaming chunks of charcoal.

Bunker smiled overconfidently as he taunted, "These things aren't so tough! Is that the best you can do?!"

He was startled somewhat and they all stopped when they heard loud tremors that sounded like footsteps. They then saw one giant fire demon walk from behind a building at an intersection ahead; it looked just like the fire demon Slade tricked Thunder and Lightning into creating. It shrieked as it marched toward them, and then they saw two more fire demons just like it stomp toward them down different streets.

Bunker was afraid as Jinx looked at him out of the corner of her eye as she complained, "You had to say that, didn't you?"

One of the giant fire demons shrieked as it formed a big fireball in its right hand and threw it at all the Titans. They all dodged it as it exploded and then the other two stomped toward them as they screeched viciously with the smaller fire demons flying around them.

Robin glared at them as he fearlessly yelled, "Don't give up!"

Cyborg blasted one giant fire demon with both his sonic cannons at the same time, combining both blasts into one powerful one that knocked it down. But it got back up and breathed fire at them as they dodged it; Red Star fired a ray of his red radiation at one giant fire demon, but it withstood it before swatting him away like a fly. The smaller fire demons also started to overrun the Titans as they swarmed them, some of them getting captured by their flaming tendrils. Miss Martian fell to her knees as she was surrounded and groaned in pain while Speedy and Robin were restrained. Another fire demon was about to hit Robin, but it was cut in two before being destroyed by a flying red X-shaped blade.

Robin was shocked when the fire demon holding him was destroyed by Red X, who said, "Need a hand?"

Speedy struggled until the fire demon holding him was slashed to pieces of charcoal and then he saw Cheshire standing in front of him.

She spoke in an eager tone as she joked, "Mind if I turn up the heat?"

He smiled at her before he shot an arrow while Cheshire ran and slashed a couple others to pieces with her blades. The Titans South prepared to face a giant fire demon, but Omen floated in front of them and threw her hands out as she threw out a blue horizontal force-field that chopped it in half, destroying it.

Jinx was shocked as she said, "Omen?!"

She smiled down at her before she flew off; meanwhile Cyborg launched six missiles at a giant fire demon, but they had little effect against it as it stomped toward him. Suddenly a blue iron ray pierced its chest as it shrieked before collapsing and going out, and Cyborg smiled as he saw Magnus XL hovering in the air as he held Elita. He put her down as she used her maglev boots to skate and created her blue energy shield and sword, smashing one fire demon with her shield and cutting another with her sword. A couple fire demons flew at Magnus but he smiled as he activated his wrecking balls and swung them at the fire demons, destroying each with one blow. Robin turned his head and smiled as he noticed that all the other honorary Titans had arrived as they joined the battle, fighting fire demons in different parts of the city. Aqualad was near the bay as he prepared to fight a few fire demons, but Tramm jumped out of the water and landed beside him. He inflated his upper body and lifted a car, throwing it as he destroyed all the fire demons before deflating his body. Aqualad smiled at him before they saw more fire demons come, but Dolphin jumped out of the water in her scaley form as she fired a blast of blue energy that destroyed them. Fire demons were flying all over the city as they fought airborne Titans, who proved powerful enough to beat them. Hardware blasted a few with his omni-cannons, Prysm shot a yellow ray and moved it as she destroyed a few, and Bombshell threw a powerful blast of her quantum energy that blew up a bunch more.

Terra and her friends were afraid when some fire demons cornered them, but they were smashed by giant boulders. Geo-Force flew by on a boulder and winked down at his sister before he flew off with more fire demons chasing him. The Point Titans worked together as they fought fire demons, they were not as effective as some of the others but they managed to hold their own. Blockade smashed some with both fists while Gargoyle flew and slashed her claws at some, Serpenteen lashed his tail at one and knocked it away, Shortcut teleported and kicked one with Blank Slate. Skitter swing from her webs before extending her spider-like legs from her hips and used them to impale one fire demon. Kilowatt threw a blue ball of electricity that blew up several fire demons with one blast, then he ran to fight more. Bolt zipped around and destroyed several fire demons with one kick for each before she stopped to breathe for a moment. A giant fire demon was stomping down a street toward her but Rocket floated in the air and adjusted her belt and then fired a big purple ray of kinetic energy that broke the fire demon apart. Flaming bits were on the ground before they died out, then Rocket flew off to fight more fire demons. Flamebird threw a few of her own birdarangs that cut a few fire demons to pieces before their flames went out, and Risk punched one with his mechanical arm and destroyed it.

A portal opened, and from it emerged Harold with Melvin, Timmy, Teether, and Bobby as they looked around. The kids rode on Bobby's head as he protected them and smashed several fire demons with his claws before running off. Harold ran and destroyed a few fire demons as he hit them with his trumpet, then he dodged flames thrown at him from a giant fire demon. He blew his trumpet and made a portal under the giant fire demon's feet, causing it to fall through as it shrieked, then his portal closed. Miss Martian was still on her knees as the fire demons prepared to finish her, but was saved when Ravager came and cut them to bits with her swords. She helped her onto her feet and smiled at her before Miss Martian took flight and then Ravager joined Robin, who fought alongside Red X and Jericho. Four more fire demons were floating above a street when Zatara floated in front of them and waved his wand, making pipes burst and spray them with water that put them out. Magnus stood by Cyborg as they both blasted at fire demons flying around them when a dozen more flew at them, but were destroyed. They were startled to see this and saw Fixit and Spike riding a small two-person vehicle with blasters that destroyed them.

Cyborg was shocked as he said, "Fixit?! Spike?!"

Fixit spoke bravely as he said, "We've come to help."

Spike smiled eagerly as he said, "With something special we made for the occasion."

They flew their vehicle and blasted more fire demons, making Cyborg smile as he fired his sonic cannons at more fire demons. Starfire was flying through the air with dozens of fire demons chasing her as she threw starbolts at them. She took out a few of them but more came, only to be destroyed by a ray of starbolt energy, and Starfire was delighted to see her brother Wildfire.

He flew to her with his arms out as he yelled, "Sister!"

She held her arms out as she hugged him and yelled, "Wildfire! It is glorious to see you!"

They pulled apart and Wildfire pointing his thumb over his shoulder as he said, "I have also brought more help."

Two more fire demons flew at them but were destroyed by red lasers as a familiar ship flew by and automatically landed while Val-Yor flew out.

Starfire was shocked to see him as she said, "Val-Yor?"

Val-Yor looked at her as he rudely got to the point and said, "It's your lucky day Troq. Your brother told me about your little problem, so I thought I'd lend a hand, and from the looks of it, you need it."

Starfire scowled him slightly but did not object as he looked and saw a giant fire demon throwing flames at building. He flew at it with his fists out and rammed it in the chest, knocking it over, then he slammed both his fists on top of it, destroying it in a huge burst of flames. He took flight and started smashing more fire demons with his fists while Starfire flew with her brother as they faced more fire demons. Robin prepared to face one fire demon with his bo when it was sliced in two by Bushido, then four more fire demons were beaten by the True Master and her animal guardians.

Robin was stunned as he said, "True Master?"

She smiled generously as he said, "We have come to help young warrior."

They stayed together as they bravely fought more fire demons while Robin ran and hit some with his bo before joining Cyborg. Starfire flew to him and Cyborg and shot two small starbolt rays from her hands and destroyed two fire demons that had them cornered. They smiled gratefully at her until they saw another giant fire demon stomping toward them as it hissed and screeched.

Suddenly Robot Man jumped down in front of them and yelled, "Bring it on matchstick!"

He slammed both his fists on the ground and made the pavement under its feet collapse a bit as it stumbled. The giant fire demon roared as it threw flames at them, but they were blocked by a purple force-field created by Lodestone. She dropped it when the flames dissipated and shot her purple eyebeam at the giant fire demon's face, making it screech. It breathed a fireball at her but she dodged it, then Mento floated in front of it and held his head as he sent out blue rings of psionic energy that made it shimmer. It was still standing as it roared viciously, then Grunt came and ran to it like an ape, then he jumped and clapped all four hands, causing a sonic boom that knocked it back. It stumbled but regained its footing, then Negative Man came and separated from his body as he flew at different parts of its body. He phased through it while hitting it as it jerked around and roared while trying to hit him before he returned to his body. Elasti-Girl came and was just as big as the giant fire demon as she punched it in the face and knocked it on its back, then she body-slammed it and destroyed it.

She stood up and smiled as they were joined by Nudge, the Flea, and Beast Girl, who happily said, "That was awesome!"

The Titans smiled at them as Starfire gratefully said, "Thank you for your assistance."

Mento smiled as he joked, "You didn't think we'd let you kids have all the fun."

Cyborg pointed his finger at the other fire demons as he said, "Plenty more where that came from!"

Mento showed a brave expression before pointing his finger while saying, "We've faced worse odds. Doom Patrol attack!"

The Flea sprouted tons of locks of prehensile hair, which she lashed at some fire demons, and managed to destroy them despite them burning her hair. Nudge jumped and kicked one in the face while Negative Man separated from his body and flew at a bunch of fire demons, destroyed them. Elasti-Girl swatted a bunch of flying fire demons like flies and destroyed them, while Psimon and Malchior watched.

Psimon smiled deviously at Malchior as he said, "Perhaps it's time we invite our special guest."

Malchior smiled sinisterly before he launched a fireball at Elasti-Girl; she cried in pain as it exploded against her and knocked her to the ground. Robin, Cyborg, Starfire, and the rest of the Doom Patrol gathered around her before cars came flying and hit Robot Man and Grunt, smashing against them and knocking them down. They all looked to see Malchior fly down and land in the middle of a street while Psimon levitated next to him.

Cyborg glared at them with hatred as he said, "The demon brothers' errand boys!"

The Doom Patrol immediately were angered as Robot Man yelled, "Where's Beast Boy?!"

Malchior had a sick grin as he said, "How touching. The green one's family has come to rescue him, a pity he doesn't want to be rescued."

Mento clinched his fist in front of him and demanded, "Spare us your games! Tell us where his now!"

Psimon had a sinister smile as he folded his arms and said, "Closer than you think."

They were confused while a green fly buzzed near them, then transformed into a buffalo and charged at Negative Man and Beast Girl. He knocked them both away while the others looked at him and cried in shock, then Beast Boy morphed into horse just Robot Man ran at him. Beast boy kicked him with his hindlegs, hitting Robot Man's off switch, causing him to shut down and fall down.

Elasti-Girl tried to grab him while she said, "Garfield don't!"

He changed into a frog and dodged her hand as he hopped around and dodged the others as they tried to grab him. He hopped under Elasti-Girl's body as she was on all fours, then he morphed into an Argentinosaurus before standing on his hindlegs and thrusting his front legs at her face, knocking her down. He morphed into a bird and flew away while she got up and the others turned Robot Man back on, as he looked around frantically. They all watched Beast Boy fly in front of Malchior and Psimon before he changed back to his human form.

He leered at all of them as he evilly said, "Hey everyone! Glad you could make it! Beast Boy reporting for butt-kicking duty!"

Mento held his palms out as he sincerely pleaded, "Beast Boy stop this!"

Beast Boy glared at Mento as he spitefully said, "You said I'd never be part of the Doom Patrol if I couldn't follow orders, well you were right!"

Some of the other Titans also stared at Beast Boy in shock, including Jinx and Miss Martian who were horrified.

Miss Martian's eyes glowed while Beast Girl asked Mento, "Can't you turn him back with your mind?"

Miss Martian's eyes stopped glowing orange as she shockingly said, "No! I just tried! No one's controlling his mind right now!"

Mento then held his head as his eyes glowed blue and he read Beast Boy's mind and saw visions that were frightening.

His eyes stopped glowing and he was horrified as he said, "She's right! This isn't brainwashing! This is something much worse!"

Psimon smiled sadistically as he explained, "We used our powers to bring out the darkness within him."

Beast Boy kept smiling as he maniacally said, "And it's so cool!"

Elasti-Girl was horrified as she sincerely said, "Beast Boy please! You're scaring me."

Beast Boy glared daggers at all of them as he said, "You think I'm scaring you now? Just wait!"

He then morphed into his most dangerous and powerful form as he turned into the Werebeast and roared ferociously. The others all gasped in horror as they stared at him, Beast Boy's eyes were red like a demon's as he stared at them with a vicious expression. He gritted his teeth before he finally jumped toward them with his claws out as he let out a loud beastly roar.

Commercial break

Beast Boy jumped at the others and slammed his feet on the ground before slashing his claws as they scattered to avoid him. He ran at Robin who narrowly dodged his claws as Beast Boy slashed at him, then Beast Girl jumped and kicked him in the face, only to be knocked away by Beast Boy's backhand. Grunt tackled Beast Boy and they both tumbled across the ground before Beast Boy lifted Grunt over his head and threw him at Cyborg just as he was running at him. Flea ensnared Beast Boy with locks of her hair and tried to hold him, but he was too strong as he slashed his claws and cut her locks. Beast Boy prepared to pounce when Elasti-Girl grabbed him in her hand and lifted him up as he roared in irritation. He flailed his arms around before trying to pull himself free but she remained a firm grip as she held him up to her face.

She held him tight in her hand as she sincerely pleaded, "Beast Boy stop! Please! We can help you!"

Beast Boy did not listen as he raised his arms in the air and dug his claws into her hand with all his might, causing her to cry in pain. Her grip loosened as he pulled himself free and jumped toward her face, flipping through the air as he kicked her with both legs and knocked her over. She held her head in pain while he landed safely on his feet and snarled, then Starfire flew at him and carried him away with Lodestone following her. Beast Boy punched Starfire in the face and then kicked her and sent her crashing into Lodestone before they both crashed into the side of a building. He landed and looked at Nudge as she ran off and he tried to smash her with his fists, missing and smashing holes in the ground. Negative Man's negative form flew at Beast Boy and knocked him away before he started punching him in the face repeatedly. Beast Boy suddenly raised both his fists and punched his negative form away, then Negative Man returned to his body. Beast Boy roared as he ran at him on all fours just as Negative Man was joined by Robin and Cyborg as they prepared to help him. Beast Boy stopped when he was telekinetically lifted in the air by Mento as he flailed his arms and legs around while roaring ferociously.

Mento had his fingertips on the sides of his head as he focused his power and said, "I can hold him still long enough for the rest of you to-"

He was cut off as he was hit by a pink psionic beam, causing him to Drop Beast Boy before he fell down and they all saw Psimon float by Beast Boy with an evil grin. Malchior stood behind them as he breathed fire at them, which they all dodged and then they were joined by fire demons flying at them and two giant fire demons marching toward them.

Negative Man was not confident as he said, "This might be harder than we thought."

All the Titans and their other allies fought valiantly against the fire demons, not afraid of them or the odds. Blue Beetle blasted fire demons with both his plasma cannons while both his crests had blasters on the end as he rapidly fired at fire demons all around him. Wildebeest performed a sonic clap that blew away the flames of a dozen fire demons, leaving only chunks of charcoal left. Jinx was floated in the air as she confronted a giant fire demon, her eyes glowed pink as she threw a powerful hex, blowing it up. Aqualad moved his arms as he made tentacle of water rise out of the bay and lashed it at a few fire demons, extinguishing them all. Omen threw fireballs while Red X used some spinning red x's on the backs of his gloves to cut up some fire demons that came at him while Ravager cut some with her swords.

Prysm glowed red as she released a shockwave of energy from her body while Geo-Force flew at a giant fire demon with a golem of earth around him. He punched it in the face thrice and knocked it down before slamming his body on its chest, destroying it in a burst of flames. Wonder Girl lassoed a giant fire demon's head and held it back just as Bombshell threw a big blue blast of quantum energy at it. Kid Flash ran in a circle around a giant fire demon's feet, creating a tornado that made it shake before breaking apart as its flames blew out. Cheshire threw a few shurikens that shredded a few fire demons, then Superboy and Miss Martian flew straight at each other with their fists straight out. They slammed into each other, creating a shockwave that damaged nearby buildings and destroyed nearby fire demons.

Cyborg grinned at Malchior and Psimon as he said, "Your flame dudes are history!"

Psimon and Malchior were not deterred as they both smiled wickedly as they knew what was about to happen. Another army of fire demons rose up all over the city, and there were five times more than the first army, and there were even more giant fire demons. The heroes were all horrified as they started to struggle more as the fire demons overwhelmed them with their numbers and power. The Doom Patrol were still fighting Beast Boy as the Werebeast as he jumped at Elasti-Girl's face and punched her, then slashed his claws at Negative Man's negative form. Lodestone flew at him and shot her eyebeam but he dodged it as he jumped and grabbed her, slamming her like a ragdoll before throwing her at Nudge. Grunt came and used all four of his hands to perform a sonic clap that knocked Beast Boy down, but he got up and performed a sonic clap of his own, which was more powerful. He sent Grunt flying before Robot Man came and tackled him as they both tumbled.

He had Beast Boy pinned as he yelled, "Come on squirt! We're like family!"

Beast Boy kicked on his abdomen with both his feet and launched Robot Man straight up into the air, then Beast boy jumped over him and slammed both his fists on top of him. He sent him crashing into the ground before he landed beside him and prepared to slash his claws when Beast Girl jumped headbutted him in the face. She started punching and kicking him until he backflipped over her and punched her away. The Flea came and lashed two thick locks of hair at him, but he cut them with his claws then tackled her and threw her away.

He turned to Mento, who placed his fingertips against his head as he said, "I'm sorry son."

He used his psychic powers to try and make Beast Boy sleep, and Beast Boy held his head as he let out loud roars and cries of pain. He jerked around as he stumbled a bit on his feet while Mento kept hitting him with his eyes glowing blue as the rest of the Doom Patrol joined him. They all looked at Beast Boy with guilt and sympathy but he opened his red eyes and looked at them furiously while gritting his teeth. He was still in pain but persistently held his head as he walked toward Mento and knocked him away with his backhand. Psimon watched this with a wicked chuckle, until Robin angrily threw an explosive disc at Psimon, but he smiled as he opened a pink portal that sucked it up before closing. He then telekinetically lifted huge chunks of concrete and hurled them all at Robin, Starfire, and Cyborg. Cyborg pulled out his shield and sword as he fended off fire demons that surrounded him while some others flew after Starfire. Robin swung his bo staff at a few fire demons before he was joined by Ravager and Jericho as they stood with their backs to each other as they were surrounded. They prepared to fight when one of the fire demons was suddenly destroyed and two more were cut to pieces, then a bomb blew up the others.

The smoke cleared to reveal Slade as Robin, Ravager and Jericho glared at him as Ravager said, "Dad!"

Slade simply greeted them as he said, "Robin. Jericho. Rose."

Ravager hatefully asked, "What are you doing here?"

Slade spoke coyly as he said, "I thought I'd help even the odds."

A bunch of Slade's robots came out of hiding and started fighting the fire demons as they attacked them and destroyed a few. A bunch of fire demons flew at them but Slade's robots fired handheld lasers and managed to destroy them as they marched. A giant fire demon stomped toward them as they fired their handheld lasers, but their shots had no effected. It hissed before lifting its arms over its head as it created a giant fireball and threw it down at the robots, melting them.

Robin scowled Slade as he said, "That was your plan?"

He looked at Robin out of the corner of his eye as he said, "Don't be ridiculous Robin, that was my cannon fodder. The real troops should be arriving now."

Suddenly, XL Terrestrial ran out and grew to the same size as the giant fire demon as he started fighting it and made it stumble backwards. More of the Titans' enemies showed up and joined the fight as they faced the fire demons, much to the Titans' shock. Cyborg was cornered by some fire demons but they were destroyed by blasts of pixelated energy, and he saw H8-Bit floating with a tail of pixelated energy.

Cyborg was shocked when H8-Bit sneered him and said, "This doesn't change anything."

He turned into a jet of pixelated energy and flew off as he blasted more fire demons while Cyborg ran with his shield and sword. Adonis drove his car before it transformed into his battle-suit and he used the wheels in his feet and skated through the streets as he destroyed a bunch of fire demons with one punch each. Magenta came and helped Kid Flash Silver Swan flew in front of Wonder Girl and used her swan song on a fire demon. New Wave was water when extinguished some fire demons with her arms while Punk Rocket destroyed some fire demons flying at Starfire and Wildfire. The Point Titans were saved when Ridge and Warblade came and destroyed some fire demons; Steamroller crushed a dozen fire demons with his roller. Mammoth smashed a fire demon, See-More destroyed one with a red laser from his eye, Kid Wykid cut one with his cape, Billy Numerous and his clones dogpiled on one, and Gizmo used his spider legs to walk while shooting blasters at more.

There were many more coming as Gizmo yelled, "For the love of crud! Can someone help!"

A bunch of them were hexed and destroyed, and the H.I.V.E. Five were shocked when Jinx came and smugly said, "Hey guys, long time no see. Meet my new team."

She and the Titans South destroyed more of the fire demons while Gizmo and the others scowled jealously. Silverback came and smashed a fire demon before firing his weapons at several more, while Arsenal flew and sliced one with his sword before shooting another. Aqualad, Dolphin, and Tramm were saved when Icicle shot an icy blast that extinguished the fire demons attacking them. Assimilate came and saved Melvin and her friends when he touched a fire demon and his body turned into flaming charcoal as he flew and destroyed some. A sewer pipe burst from the ground and Plasmus flowed out of it before taking his usual shape as he shrieked and extinguished some fire demons with his slop. Cinderblock dug himself out of the pavement and roared as he smashed several fire demons with his fists. Overload zapped out of a powerline and floated in the air as he shot bolts of lightning that destroyed several flying fire demons. Groundswell rose out of the ground and grew to the same size as a giant fire demon as they both roared at each other before fighting. The wind blew around some fire demons and a giant one as Bluster appeared and sucked the smaller ones up as he grew to large size and swirled them inside as their flames blew out. The giant fire demon shrieked as it threw flames at Bluster, but they had no effect as he punched it with his swirling arms and knocked it back.

Robin was impressed when Slade said, "I called in some help. You need more than just your friends."

Robin was somewhat bitter but said, "Okay. But when this is over they're all going to jail."

Slade looked at him out of the corner of his eye while saying, "Fine, but remember, do what you need to do, no matter the cost."

Robin glared at him before Slade ran off and slice some fire demons with his swords, then Robin ran out and fought with the others. Meanwhile, Pride and her brothers were finishing the ritual as they chanted hastily before rays of red light shot from their eyes and mouths. A vortex of red and black energy swirled around them as they had completed the ritual and smiled wickedly at each other.

Pride leered at her brothers as she said, "The ritual is complete! Nothing can stop us now!"

Meanwhile, Raven was still meditating in her room while her mom said, "Focus Raven. Use your love for your friends to empower you. They give you strength and you do the same for them."

Raven stopped and stood up as she gasped in shock and realization as she said, "I get it! I know what I have to do! I need my friends to help me perform the spell!"

Arella smiled proudly as she said, "I knew you had the potential."

Raven nodded as she gratefully said, "Thank you mother, now I have to go help my friends."

She disappeared in a ray of her black magic that flew through the ceiling while Arella watched with a proud smile. Back in the city, the Titans were still fighting the fire demons with their friends and enemies, and it looked like they might win. Argent created a giant sumo of her red energy around herself as she fought a giant fire demon, it was twice as big but she tackled it and destroyed it. Another giant fire demon was near the bay when Miss Martian's head and neck rose from the water as she was a sea serpent, and she sprayed it with vast amounts of water. She extinguished it before changing to her usual form and flying off, meanwhile Mas and Menos were cornered with Hot and Cold.

The younger twins were amazed when Hot and Cold fused together yelling, "Hot and Cold, two heads are better than one!"

Cold used his icy breath while Hot hit it with his heat vision, and together they created a massive fog bank that extinguished the fire demons.

They ran off to fight more before Mas and Menos joined hands yelling, "Mas y Menos si Podemos!"

They zipped through the city fighting more while Cyborg blasted a fire demon with his right sonic cannon.

Starfire shot her eyebeams while Robin blew one up while shouting, "Keep fighting! We can stop them!"

Slade pointed at the sky as he said, "Don't be so certain."

The storm clouds in the sky were swirling and a giant red ray was shot, destroying the library and everything above the tomb. It fired straight up into the clouds before opening a giant dark portal, and the hundreds of Trigon's children could be seen, all smiling wickedly as they flew toward the portal.

They were all horrified as Robin exclaimed, "NOOOO!"

Pride and her brothers suddenly appeared in a field of black and red magic as she sadistically said, "Your time is done and this world belongs to us!"

She then threw her hands out and shot a wave of her black and red magic that knocked a bunch of them down. They got up and some of them tried to fight them when they were joined by Psimon and Malchior and they used their powers to attack the others. Miss Martian was hit by red lightning while Jinx tried to hex some of Sloth's black and red bats attacking her. Gluttony pounded Bumblebee while Val-Yor was hit by a giant mace of black and red energy, and Slade was hit by four red eyebeams.

More fire demons joined as Starfire fearfully said, "We must do something!"

Seeing all the danger, Cyborg stood up and looked at the screen in his left forearm, pushing a button as he said, "Activating Maximum Overdrive!"

He pushed the button and the blue parts of his body lit up as he used his Jump Jets to fly at Pride and her brothers. He lashed his left energy whipped and knocked them away, then he destroyed a giant fire demon with one powerful blast from his right sonic cannon. He flew at Malchior and punched him, knocking him down, then he launched a powerful sonic blast from his foot and destroyed some fire demons. Gluttony flew at him but Cyborg fired the energy cannon in his chest and blasted him into Psimon, knocking him out.

Cyborg was hit by a blast from Pride and knocked down by Robin and Starfire, he got up and Robin asked, "What is that?!"

Robin glanced at him with a serious expression as he hastily said, "A present from my dad! All of my weapons and abilities five times more powerful, but it drains my power cell real fast so it's programmed to deactivate after ten minutes!"

Robin understood as he narrowed his eyes and said, "Then we'd better end this fast!"

Cyborg activated both sonic cannons and combined their power into one big sonic blast, but Pride and her brothers blocked it with a force-field. They dropped it with gloating smiles before Cyborg flew at them yelling in fury, but he was tackled by Beast Boy. He roared viciously as he slashed his claws and punched Cyborg repeatedly while Robin and Starfire ran to help.

Cyborg struggled as he grunted and said, "Come on BB! I don't want to have to do this!"

Beast Boy did not listen but then Cyborg threw him off as he tumbled toward Pride and her brothers, then he got on his feet.

The portal was so big it practically covered the city as Pride gloated, "Face it, you're doomed!"

Suddenly a small portal opened in the ground in front of Robin, Cyborg, and Starfire and from it Raven rose with her hood up.

She then used her power as she exclaimed, "STOP!"

She stopped time itself as everything froze, but her brothers and her clone started moving as Pride said, "Nothing can stop us! Especially you!"

Pride touched Beast Boy and made it so he could move as he snarled, and Raven touched Robin, Cyborg, and Starfire so they could move.

Starfire glanced around and said, "Everything has frozen!"

Robin pointed at Raven in realization as he said, "You bought us time!"

Raven nodded before pointing at Beast Boy and her brothers before glaring at Pride while saying, "Yes, I know what to do but first I need you to hold off the others while I swallow my pride."

Cyborg pulled out his shield as he said, "Can do!"

He and Starfire flew while they grabbed Robin and started fighting Beast Boy, Wrath, Sloth, Envy, Gluttony, Lust, and Greed.

Pride remained as she leered at Raven saying, "You think you can beat me? You can't beat yourself. I'm you!"

Raven stared at her with disdain as she solemnly said, "You're right, you are me, but I'm more than you."

Pride seemed insulted as she shot a beam of her black and red magic at Raven, but she blocked it with a small shield. Pride then shot bolts of black and red lightning but Raven shot bolts of her own black lightning and countered them without even moving.

Pride became angry as she said, "What makes you think you can beat me?!"

Raven prepared to attack while she said, "I've learned something since our last fight."

She threw her arms out and shot a ray of her black magic and successfully knocked Pride to the ground, but she got back up.

Raven walked toward Pride as she calmly said, "You're nothing but hate, greed, selfishness, and rage. I'm a lot more than that. You're just a part of me, the worse parts of me."

Pride was enraged as she telekinetically threw large objects at Raven, but she sunk through a portal in the ground. She emerged behind Pride and hit her with a wave of her black magic, knocking her down, but Pride got up and glared at her. She shot a ray of her black and red magic from her hands while Raven shot a ray of her own dark energy from her hands.

The rays collided and they tried to overpower each other while Pride yelled, "You can't beat me! I'm you! Even if you somehow win you can never destroy me! I exist as long as you do!"

Raven was not deterred as she honestly said, "You're right, you're my dark side and you'll never truly be gone, but I'll never stop resisting you."

Her ray of dark energy conquered Pride's and hit her as she screamed in pain and distress while everyone else stopped and watched. Pride then transformed into a white light that flew into Raven's chest, causing a white flash that covered Raven, and when it cleared Raven's outfit was now white.

She turned to the others as her brothers yelled, "Pride!"

Robin, Cyborg, and Starfire hurried over to her as they smiled while Wrath said, "Unfortunate, but she served her purpose. We no longer need you sister. Beast, destroy them!"

Beast Boy ran at them on all fours as they prepared to fight until Raven said, "I know how to stop them, but we can't do it without Beast Boy."

They were shocked as Cyborg said, "But how is he supposed to help us?!"

Raven glanced at him as she said, "I know how to bring him back. You guys hold him still."

They were uncertain but trusted her as Cyborg and Starfire flew at Beast Boy just as he jumped at them, and they grabbed his arms and slammed him to the ground. He was on his chest as he struggled while Robin joined and held Beast Boy's legs desperately while Raven got on her knees by Beast Boy's face.

She pulled her hood down and reached her hand toward him as she sincerely said, "Beast Boy, I know you can hear me. I know what they've done to you and I know this isn't you. Look inside yourself Beast Boy, you're so much more than this. We need you, and you need us."

Beast Boy still struggled as he tried to bite her hand but she was not afraid while her brothers smiled arrogantly. She placed her hand on his forehead and shut her eyes as she focused her power and astral projected herself into Beast Boy's mind.

His eyes widened as her voice in his head softly said, "Come back to us, please. Come back Garfield."

He blinked and his eyes were now white as Raven's astral form returned to her body and she opened her eyes while her power wore off and time was moving again. Some of the people around stared at her as Beast Boy was now human; the others got off of Beast Boy while Raven helped him up.

He looked at them with a stressed expression as he said, "It's like waking up from a nightmare!"

Elasti-Girl ran over and hugged Beast Boy; Raven's brothers were furious as Wrath said, "Very well! You and your pathetic friends will all perish as we rule this world!"

They turned and flew toward the tomb, and Raven hastily said, "Listen! I know a spell that can save us, but I need all of your help to pull it off!"

They agreed as they followed the brothers to the remains of the tomb as Wrath said, "Yes! Come fourth brethren! Come and we shall rule in honor of our father!"

Robin then said, "I don't think so!"

The Titans landed as the brothers angrily prepared to attack them while Raven said, "Don't worry, you'll be with them, but not here! Cyborg, Starfire, give me a hand!"

The brothers flew at them and were about to use their powers but Raven fired a ray of her dark energy while Starfire shot a starbolt ray and Cyborg fired both his sonic cannons at maximum power. They blasted the six brothers straight up and sent them flying through the portal above the city, among all the others who were flying toward it.

Cyborg's body stopped glowing as he said, "Maximum Overdrive just shut down. Raven, whatever you've got planned it better be good."

She looked at them all as she solemnly said, "It is! Remember when I told you how I took all of my power back when I stopped Trigon? I was wrong. You each still have a small bit of my power inside you."

Beast Boy was intrigued as he said, "So we can do what you can?"

Raven dismissed him as she continued, "No, but you can help me perform spells. The power connects all of you to me when we put all of it together we can combine power just like my brothers."

They began to understand as Robin asked, "Okay, what do you need us to do?"

Raven looked at each of them as she said, "I know a spell that can close that portal, but I can't do it alone. With all of our power combined we can all seal that before any of those monsters get through."

Beast Boy was somewhat nervous as he asked, "How do we do that?"

Raven held her hands out as she said, "First, join hands."

Beast Boy held Ravens' right hand while Robin held her left hand, Starfire held Robin's other hand and Cyborg held Beast Boy's.

She shut her eyes and they all did the same as they listened while she said, "Now, close your eyes and focus your power. Concentrate on what you want and why you want it. Use the power within your hearts and meld your minds to stand united."

They all did as she instructed as their bodies were surrounded by black auras and they all levitated, all of their eyes shot open, glowing white as they simultaneously chanted, "Azarath Metrion Zinthos!"

They shot a magical white beam that lit up the night before hitting the portal while Wrath held his hand out and despairingly yelled, "NOO!"

The portal closed and Raven landed with her friends as they all looked around as all of the fire demons vanished and the clouds cleared as Raven said, "We did it."

Psimon was horrified as he said, "No! It can't be!"

Mento hit him with a psionic blast and knocked him out, then Malchior looked at Jinx, who deviously pulled out his book saying, "You know, I'm bad luck, but Raven taught me a curse."

He tried to fly away but her eyes glowed pink as she quickly performed the curse to suck Malchior back into his book. Ravager and Jericho turned to see that Slade was long gone and she was vexed but smiled at her brother and saw Red X teleport. Some of the villains managed to sneak away but others were quickly captured by the Titans and their friends. Raven walked through the streets with her friends as the people happily cheered for them, and Raven couldn't help but smile. Starfire glanced up and saw Val-Yor's ship flying away but all of their other friends smiled as they applauded and cheered Raven's name.

Later, the Titans and their allies gathered at the Tower; Robot Man said, "Nice place you got here."

Robin, Cyborg, and Beast Boy were serving everyone else food while Starfire happily talked with Wildfire, and Raven spoke with her mother.

Beast Boy went over to her and kindly offered her something as he said, "Hey Raven…"

She took it and curiously asked, "What's this?"

He smiled as he pointed at it and said, "A salad. I made it with veggies from my greenhouse. This is what I wanted you to try last night."

Raven politely tasted it and was impressed while she said, "Oh. Hmmm this is good."

He smiled as he pointed at her and charmingly said, "See? I told you you'd like it."

He walked away and then Raven spoke up as she sincerely said, "Excuse me! Your attention please! I'd like to thank all of you for your help and support. I have to admit I couldn't have done it without all of you. Thanks to all of you my brothers are finally gone."

Kid Flash raised his finger as he said, "Uh, just to be clear, they can't come back though, right?"

Raven smiled as she honestly said, "Well, anything's possible, I've learned that from all of you, but no matter what happens I know we'll be okay as long as we stay together."

Robin smiled proudly as he said, "Well said Raven, and we'll conquer anything as long as we have you."

Many of the others all happily cheered, "Hear, hear!"

Cyborg happily threw his arms up in the air yelling, "Alright y'all! Let's stop standing around and party!"

They all started dancing while Raven smiled fondly before walking out; she went outside and sat on a rock as she smiled at the peaceful image of the city.

She did not even move as she kept smiling and said, "Hey Beast Boy."

The camera moved to reveal he was behind her as he walked to her and said, "You could sense me?"

He came next to her as she smiled and said, "Some things you don't need powers to feel."

Beast Boy sat down next to her and smiled at the view as he said, "It is a pretty cool view."

Raven smiled at him as she said, "What's on your mind?"

Beast Boy blushed as he shyly said, "I just wanted to thank you. You did me the biggest favor of my life."

Raven smiled as she modestly said, "Don't mention it."

Beast Boy then showed guilt as he said, "Well, I know I said and did some really bad things."

She placed her hand on his as she sincerely said, "Don't be so hard on yourself. Trigon had a talent for brining out the worst in people, and his sons were just like him."

Beast Boy then smiled sheepishly as he said, "Still, I feel like I should do something for you. So if I can make it up to you in any way, just-"

He was cut up when she held his cheek and pulled him close as she kissed him on the lips with her eyes shut. He let out a cry of shock as he blushed but then shut his eyes dreamily as he caressed her cheek lovingly. Unbeknownst to them, Arella was watching from the roof of Titans Tower as she showed a warm smile of approval.

Author's note: If you're wondering why Thunder and Lightning didn't make it rain, it was because of the storm Wrath and the others made. Anyway, that's the end of this season. Raven rose above herself and defeated her brothers for good, with the help of her closest friends and family. I really pulled out all the stops for this one, not just the Titans in the final battle but also their older friends and their enemies. At first this was too long so I had to go back and get rid of stuff, and I'd say it's better now because it's more to the point. The ending was a little rushed but they saved Beast Boy and the world. Please review.
