[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?
Who's been re-decorating my tower?
The time has come. The prophecy shall be fulfilled. Tonight at dusk, when the planets align, the portal will be opened. Finally, I shall be free from this fiery prison and the Earth will be mine.
I will make sure that Raven realizes her destiny. And for bringing you your precious Gem, I except you to keep your part of the bargain and return what is precious to me.
You bring me the Gem, and you shall get what you deserve.
Deal. It's a beautiful day for the end of the world.
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.
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]
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.
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!
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.
[Raven clears the room out, with just them inside]
It has already begun. And there's no stopping what is meant to be.
You're willing to give up on everything, all because of some prophecy you heard as a child? What if it's wrong?
Robin, I know what I know.
I don't accept that. You can take control. You can make it not happen.
I've known my whole life that this day was going to come. I tried to control the dark side of me. I tried to do good things, to fight evil, and hoped that would somehow make up for the horrible thing I'm destined to do.
But no one knows their destiny. There are things you can't possibly know.
There are some things I didn't know: Like how I would make such wonderful friends. All I wanted was to make your last day perfect. Instead, you spent it worrying about me.
[Robin walks forward and holds her hand]
And as my friends, you have to let me go.
[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.
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.
[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.
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.
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?
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]
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]
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.
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.
[After Trigon manifested dark versions of Beast Boy, Cyborg and Starfire]
I always figured I was taller.
I may be the source of all darkness, but you are your own worst enemies.
DCDark Cyborg
Raven wasn't the only one with a bad side.
So why did you do it? For money? Status? Those dark powers?
Not everything is so cut and dry, Robin.
Selling out our world for your own personal gain seems pretty cut and dry to me.
With or without me, there was no stopping this.
But you played a part. And just like everything else you've ever done, it's made people suffer.
