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]
[She flies over to Slade]
[Robin runs over to and with arms stretched, bars her from Slade]
We won't let them take you!
StarfireYou 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.
Starfire
Robin! You are unharmed!
[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]
We're the only ones left.
Starfire
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.
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.
Starfire
[adding her hand] For Raven.
[Balls of energy emerges from their hands and pushes them back]
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.
Starfire
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?
Starfire
I have used Raven's powers once before. They are controlled by emotions. The more we feel, the more energy is released.
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]
Guess that wasn't angry enough.
Of all the places to crash and burn, why'd it have to be here?
Starfire
Please, I wish to leave.
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]
What's the matter, Slade? Giving up already?
Sorry to disappoint you, Robin, but I'm not here to fight, I'm here to help.
Yes. You seem to have everything under control. Raven can still be saved.
[Starfire grabs Slade and pins him into the wall, as she holds him and gets ready to fire a starbolt at him]
Starfire
You will not dishonour our friend with your trickery!
Whatever you're selling, we're not buying!
Think of me what you will. But what Trigon did, even I wouldn't wish on this world.
It's a little late for "I'm sorry"!
You mistake my generosity for regret, Cyborg. I only offer my assistance because it suits me.
[Starfire lets Slade go]
Starfire
But we saw Raven become the portal. She was destroyed!
Raven has fulfilled the prophecy of her birth. That part of her existence is complete. But another part still remains, for the moment.
Why are you doing this? What's in it for you?
My reasons are my own. Do you want your friend back or not?
Just tell us where she is, and we'll take it from there.
There will be no "we". This is a journey only one of you may take.
No deal! She's our friend. All of us are going!
Then your friend is doomed to oblivion. You fail to realize, Trigon is all-seeing. His mind can be at any place, at any time. For us to succeed, Trigon's attention must be occupied.
And how do you expect us to do that?! We already tried fighting him; look where it got us!
It's the end of the world. Did you think it would be easy? I don't expect you to win. I don't even expect you to live - only endure.
Starfire
Robin, no!
If there's even the slightest chance to save Raven, what choice do we have?
The journey to this world has taken much of Trigon's power. [holds out a ring] With this, you might be able to survive. It's a Ring of Azar; forged by the same order that imprisoned Trigon. I know from experience that it works.
[Slade gives the ring to Robin, who, in turn, gives it to Starfire]
[Robin and Starfire hug]
It may get ugly, but don't worry. We'll keep him busy.
Yeah. Just wait 'til Trigon gets slapped with my patented Wet Willie Maneuver!
He won't know what hit him.
Your goodbyes are really quite touching, but we have work to do, Robin.
I'll bring her back. I promise.
I hate to say it, but Four-Eyes has a point. My butt can't take much more kicking.
Starfire
It can, and it will. We must keep the Trigon occupied.
[Cyborg walks up to them]
As long as those all-seeing eyes are looking at us, he won't go looking for Robin.
Starfire
No!
[Dark Starfire zips up to Trigon's ear]
NSNega Starfire
[giggles and whispers] They are trying to distract you so Robin can-
He knows. He's just been toying with us.
I was aware of this rescue mission before your small minds have even concealed it. And I have known from the beginning that your plan presents no threat. You fail to comprehend the depth of my power, and you fail to understand the departure of your friend. Some remnant of my daughter may yet exist, but the Raven you know is lost forever.
Dude, I have no idea I was so tough.
You're not. I can kick your butt any day of the...
Starfire
If we cannot defeat ourselves, perhaps we can defeat each other.
[The dark clones appear. Cyborg and Beast Boy high five each other]
CBCyborg and Beast Boy
Switch!
[After Trigon sent a blast that incapacitated the Titans]
Get up! Robin, please! Get up!
[Trigon's approaches]
[He tries to kill her, but a white energy coming from her hand shields her]
You may have retained some trace of my power, but you are still no threat to me, little girl. I am your creator, your master. You exist only to serve me. You survive only because I allow it. What hope can a mere child have of defeating her all-powerful father?
[having transformed back into a teenager] You may have created me. But you were never my father.
Wretched, insignificant- [gets hit] UGH!
Fathers are kind. Fathers protect you. Fathers raise you. I was protected by the monks of Azarath. I was raised by my friends. They are my family, this is my home, and you are not welcome here! AZARATH, METRION, ZINTHOS!
[She projects a raven of pure white mystical energy that illuminates her father and reverses the effects of what he did to Earth]
Starfire
Raven, that was...
No, it wasn't. Somebody believed.
Okay, you're freaking me out here! The white robe and smile are weird enough but hugs? Are you still...you?
Blue is still my favorite colour. And don't get used to the smile, 'cause you're still not funny.
[After Robot Man destroys the machine attacking him and the Teen Titans from the inside]
Starfire
That was most... daring.
[Robot Man walks up to the Titans]
Robot Man... I know you want to stop The Brain, but we're never going to find him unless we work together. Attacking everything that moves isn't going to help.
RMRobot Man
If he builds it, I'm going to break it. That's the way we do things in the Doom Patrol.
Well in case you haven't noticed, this isn't the Doom Patrol.
[Robot Man grunts. Beast Boy walks up to him]
Cliff... this is the way it has to be. At least until we find Mento.
[Long pause]
RMRobot Man
This isn't kids stuff, Beast Boy. You think you can handle it?
[Robot Man walks off]
You have no idea what we can handle.
[Beast Boy follows Robot Man and the other Titans follow]
[Robin puts his hand on Beast Boy's shoulder]
And just in the nick of time.
Starfire
We are most thankful!
[The Titans look over to the Doom Patrol. Beast Boy looks at the destroyed building then at the Doom Patrol and walks over to them]
MMento
But you let The Brain get away. How could you be so foolish?!
[He gestures her to be silent]
[Robin walks up to Beast Boy and the other Titans walk over as well]
He saved our lives! Doesn't that mean anything to you?!
MMento
No. he's only delayed our destruction.
You'll keep looking for him, just like you always did! [Pause] Sir.
MMento
You don't understand. I read The Brain's mind, Beast Boy. He has a new Quantum Generator! And it works. The most devastating power in the cosmos and it's now in the hands of a madman! Because you couldn't follow orders!
[Pause. Beast Boy looks at the ground. Another pause]
MMento
We've got a planet to save. Doom Patrol! Move out!
[Mento walks away. The other members look at Beast Boy, sadly, before following Mento]
