Scenes with Cyborg 97
[After Starfire successfully broke apart the minefield]
Cyborg
Way to go, Troqie!
[gasps] You do not ever call me that!
Cyborg
But Val-Yor calls you "Troq" all the time.
That does not make it right.
Cyborg
What's up? I thought you said it didn't mean anything.
No. I said it means "nothing". When Val-Yor calls me "Troq", he is saying that I am worthless. A nothing.
Cyborg
Star.
There are those on other planets who feel Tamaraneans are inferior. "Troq" is what they call us.
Cyborg
So he's calling you a terrible name. And you know that if you punched him out, it'll just confirm all the bad stuff he thinks about you.
Yes. Do you know what it feels like to be judged simply by how you look?
Cyborg
Of course I do; I'm part robot.
...And that's how we defeated Control Freak!
VYVal-Yor
Sounds like you handled your team well, you're a true leader. You remind me of myself when I was your age, Spike.
Cyborg
Robin, can I get a word?
[To Val-Yor] So you think I could fly this baby sometime?
[Meanwhile, Cyborg is telling Robin what "Troq" really means]
Cyborg
And that's what he's been calling her this whole time.
Starfire, Why didn't you say something? He will apologize, I'm going to make him.
Starfire No, Robin. Our mission is more important than my feelings.
VYVal-Yor
Thank you for all your help.
Don't thank us; thank Starfire.
Yeah, she's the one that saved your sorry butt.
VYVal-Yor
Thank you, Starfire. I have to admit, you're not bad for a Tr... Tamaranean. You must be one of the good ones.
No. The fact that I rescued you does not make me better than other Tamaraneans.
VYVal-Yor
Look, I'm trying to pay you a compliment.
Then why does it still sound like an insult?
VYVal-Yor
[to Robin] Spike, you understand. I didn't mean anything by it, it's just-
Val-Yor. I think it's time for you to go.
VYVal-Yor
I thought you Earthlings were alright. I guess I was wrong - you're just like the Troqs.
[He flies up into his spaceship and leaves]
I'm sorry Val-Yor treated you like that. If I'd know, I never would've let it happen.
Cyborg
None of us would.
There is nothing you could have done. There will always be people who say mean words because you are different. And sometimes, their minds cannot be changed. But there are many more people who do not judge others based on how they look or where they are from. Those are the people who's words truly matter.
It appears to be some kind of...prophecy.
Cyborg
Whatever it is, it doesn't sound good.
This is some serious evil, even for Slade.
Not Slade, whoever he's working for.
"The gem shall be his portal". Scath is coming and this gem is how he gets here. If we're going to stop him, we need to find it and destroy it.
Well, what are you waiting for? Aren't you going to attack, reduce me to ashes or did your master forbid you from hurting me? Did he order you to keep his gem safe?
Cyborg
So, Raven has the gem?
[Slade powers down the fireballs and transports down through the ground]
I'll be sure to give him your regards.
I'm not finished yet! This time, I have message for you. You tell him that he'll have to destroy me before I help him!
You can tell him yourself. The hour is near.
[Raven crushes him with a pillar of rock. She then flings him around the room and as he is in mid air, she pushes all the rocks onto him. She then summons a black energy raven, which attacks Slade and causes an explosion]
I'm not afraid of you anymore!
You might not fear me, but look who's afraid of you.
The ancient Order used the name "Scath" to protect the true identity of their master. We know him as Trigon.
Cyborg
Are you serious?! That's who we're up against? Oh, man.
His cruelty is legendary, even on my world.
So, what makes you go all glow-y in the dark?
It's a warning. It means Trigon is coming. And the way he gets here is through me. I'm not just a person...I'm a portal.
Because Trigon...is my father. Bad things are gonna happen soon. Really bad things. And it's gonna be my fault. I thought I could handle this on my own. I tried, but... I was wrong.
[Starfire puts her hand on shoulder]
For confiding in us, we are most humbled.
Cyborg
I only have one question: how do we stop him?
That doesn't mean we still can't try.
[The Titans watch the sun rise; Beast Boy has his arm around Raven's shoulder]
[After the gang supposedly defeats a Shrieker]
I could not have done it without your assistance.
I too admire your abundant limb strength.
Cyborg
Let's go, unless you wanna stay here goofing around with your girlfriend.
[A loud boom. Robin looks over the rail to see the Shrieker climbing back up]
Cyborg
[From the TV wearing a chef's hat] Remember: if you're not grilling with Cy-B-Q Sauce...you just ain't cooking.
AAnnouncer
Cy-B-Q Brand. Official marinade of the Teen Titans.
I thought our official marinade was Zorbrian spider juice.
Cyborg
Yeah, but that's because you slopfar ug mopzorn!
[The episode opens with the Titans waking up in the Tower]
Uh... How did I- Hey! I'm hungry!
Cyborg
MAKE İT FOUR!
But... who is going to feed us?!
MMMother Mae-Eye
Hello, sweeties! Now that we've all had a nice nappy-wappy, what would my hungry little ones like to eat?
Cyborg
PIE!
[After Starfire freed the Titans from the oven and fought through Mother Mae-Eye's cookies]
[gasps] You broke Mother's cookies.
RCRaven and Cyborg
Oooooh...
Please, friends, you must believe me! A bump on the cranium has allowed me to see Mother for what she really-
RBRobin, Beast Boy, Cyborg and Raven
[sing-song] You're gonna get in trouble, you're gonna get in trouble.
[Holds up a rolling pin] Forgive me.
[She whacks them all in the head]
Why'd you do that - ummm ... why am I in a giant pie?
Why am I in a bunny suit?
Cyborg
Who's been re-decorating my tower?
Okay, everyone. Just as we planned.
You said there was nothing we could do. We didn't agree, so we've been preparing for this day.
[He walks up to the door and places his hand on a hand-print reader. The door opens into a safety room]
[nods] We're ready to take on Trigon.
No. You can't be. Just go. Save yourselves.
We're not giving up. Neither are you. Our plan is simple. Raven, you are the portal. Trigon needs you to take over the Earth.
Cyborg
But if Trigon can't get to the portal, then he can't take over.
So all we must do is keep the Trigon from getting to Raven.
[The Titans walk into the room. Cyborg, who was carrying Raven, places her on the ground]
Cyborg
You'll be safe in here. Everything's ready. I've installed all the latest state of the art technology. Nothing alive is getting in here.
[about the symbols on the wall] And these symbols should keep out everything else. [She produces one of books] We took them out of your books.
[Some pages of the book fall out]
Just in case you need some extra mojo.
This is all great, but it's not gonna make a difference. Today the prophecy will be fulfilled. Trigon is coming. There's no stopping him.
There's never been a villain we couldn't stop before.
Trigon isn't a villain. He is the incarnation of evil, the source of all darkness. The-
Okay, bad dude, we get it.
No. You don't. You don't know Trigon.
And Trigon doesn't know the Titans. Stay in here. We'll be watching from up there [he gestures to a viewing area] if you need us.
[The Titans leave but Beast Boy stops in the doorway, looks at Raven and runs back to her]
[gives Raven the cent he found] For luck.
[He runs back out]
All the luck in the world won't help us now.
Cyborg
So far, everything seems pretty much normal.
Yep. Just your normal last day on Earth.
Everything is going to be okay, yes?
Do you really want to spend your last day on Earth fighting?
[struggling in the grip of the fire creature] This is not my last day!
[Slade summons a fireball]
[Slade powers down his fireball. The fire creatures let the Titans go. The Titans turn their gaze to the tower - fire creatures part to reveal standing there]
Cyborg
Raven?
[She flies over to Slade]
[Robin runs over to and with arms stretched, bars her from Slade]
We won't let them take you!
You must get back to the safety room. Please.
I can't hide from my destiny any longer.
[Raven subdues the Titans, rendering them unconscious]
[whispering] Goodbye. Be safe.
[She runs up to him and hugs him]
I saw something out there. In the city. It led me here.
It lead all of us here. Almost all of us.
[Pause]
Cyborg
We're the only ones left.
But how is this possible? How have we survived?
It was Raven. She saved us. I don't know how but she did.
Back at the Tower. When Raven knocked us out. The last thing I heard was her voice. It said "Be safe". She did something. Something that protected us from Trigon.
Cyborg
Like it matters. Look around. There's nothing left. What's the point?
Hope. That's the point. As long as we're here, we still have a chance! And that's why we're going to keep fighting. [He puts his hand out] For Raven.
[adding her hand] For Raven.
Cyborg
[adding his] For Raven.
[Balls of energy emerges from their hands and pushes them back]
Cyborg
Okay, that felt weird.
Raven may not have been able to stop Trigon from coming but she left us a way to fight him. She gave us some of her power.
And it grows stronger when we stand as one.
Trigon! Stand up and fight!
[Pauses]
I think it's time to hit him hard.
You're positive we're not going to accidentally microwave our brains?
I have used Raven's powers once before. They are controlled by emotions. The more we feel, the more energy is released.
Cyborg
In other words - get angry!
[The Titans fill themselves up with Raven's dark magic]
TTitans
AZARATH, METRION, ZINTHOS!
[They hit him with a blast, subduing him very briefly, before he quickly recovers]
You may think it wise to attack me while I gather my strength. But as you can see, not even a farewell blessing from my daughter can help you. Be gone.
[Trigon sends the Titans flying away, and they land in the old library, the place where they last saw Raven]
Cyborg
Guess that wasn't angry enough.
Of all the places to crash and burn, why'd it have to be here?
Cyborg
And go where? The whole world is toast! And the only person who'd know what to do is... We could really use her help right now.
[Robin walking up the flight of stairs]
I know what we saw. But I just can't believe it. It just doesn't feel like Raven's really gone.
That's because she isn't.
[He steps out of the shadows]
