Chapter Four - Unleashing Hell
After Raven knocked him out, Tokoyami was woken up by the other Titans. On instinct, he called out for Raven, but heard nothing.
Starfire: Are you okay, friend Tokoyami?
Tokoyami: R.....Raven! They took her!
Artemis: Who took her?
Tokoyami: The Sons of Trigon!
Cyborg: What?! Are you serious?! How did they get past security?!
Tokoyami: We have to find her! We have to stop them before it's too late!
Robin: Let me try something.
Robin went to the computer and tried tracking Raven down through her Titans communicator. After a moment, Robin was able to get a signal.
Robin: Got it! She's at the church!
Tokoyami: What are we waiting for?! Let's go!
After getting Raven's location, Tokoyami got into his Tsukuyomi outfit. After doing so, he and the Titans begin making their way to the church. Knowing time was against them, the Titans rushed to the church. Meanwhile, Raven and Jared arrived at the entrance to the church where James and Jesse were waiting for them.
James: Well would you look at that! Our dear brother Jared has returned with our beloved sister? It's so good to see you!
Raven turned her head away from James with shame and disgust. She ignored his patronizing comments as she felt shame at herself.
Jesse: How many of them did you have to kill before she said yes? Half? Or all of them?
Jared: The threat alone was enough to sway our dear sister to our side. But now that we're all here, let us begin.
Jared then enters the church along with Raven and the rest of the Sons of Trigon. As they entered inside, Raven recognized the abandoned church.
Jared: Do you remember this place dear sister? The place where our mother was chosen to be the bride of Trigon? Where you were born.
Raven knew this. Seeing this place brought sadness to Raven as she knew this was where it all started. Eventually, they reached a pedestal.
Jared: Let us begin. Why don't you start us off, dear sister?
Raven hesitates for a moment, She knew that once she does this, there would be no going back. But in that moment of hesitation, Jared lunges at her.
Jared: Don't think you can turn back now, dear sister! You've crossed the point of no return! But it's still not too late for me to kill all you hold dear! Starting with your mate!
Raven remained silent. Jared lets out a disappointed sigh as he turns to James and Jesse.
Jared: Very well then. James. Jesse. It seems that we have to make an example out of her friends.
As the Sons of Trigon turned around, Raven stopped them.
Raven: Stop! Okay.
Jared: Then start the ritual!
Raven then begins the ritual. Soon, the Titans reached the church.
Robin: All right Titans! Into the church!
Tsukuyomi wasted no time as he entered the church. They soon made it inside the church where they saw Raven performing the ritual.
Tsukuyomi: Raven!
Raven: Fumikage?
Jared and the other Sons of Trigon notices the Titans.
Jared: They never learn. James! Jesse!
James and Jesse soon attacked the Titans. Raven turns to Jared in anger.
Raven: You said you wouldn't.....
Jared: I haven't forgotten! They are in the way! Complete the ritual! NOW!
James and Jesse stand before the Titans. They look at them, ready for battle. The two looked to each other and laugh.
James: It seems they are in need of a lesson.
Jesse: Yes they do.
Artemis: Let our friend go!
Beast Boy: Better do what the lady says! She doesn't mess around with that bow and arrow!
James: You fools.
Jesse: You can't stop what is meant to be.
James: Raven came to us of her own free will.
Jesse: To save your worthless lives.
As the two prepared to attack, Robin turns to Tsukuyomi.
Robin: Tsukuyomi. Go get Raven.
Tsukuyomi: What about you?
Cyborg: We'll be fine! These goons will be no problem! We'll be right behind you!
After those words, Tsukuyomi begins going after Raven and Jared. Before James and Jesse could make an attempt to stop him, the Titans begin attacking James and Jesse. Tsukuyomi reaches the pedestal where he confronts Jared.
Jared: So the mortal mate cometh!
Tsukuyomi: Let. Her. Go. NOW!
Jared: You poor insolent mortal! Raven came willingly! Did you forget that?
Tsukuyomi feels rage as Dark Shadow appears. Without hesitation, he commands Dark Shadow to attack Jared. Despite the vicious attacks, Jared was able to keep up with Dark Shadow's attacks. But before the two could begin a long and drawn out fight, Raven stops them.
Tsukuyomi: Raven? Please! You have to stop this!
Raven: You and I both know I can't do that. There's no stopping what is meant to be.
Tsukuyomi: So you're willing to give up on everything?! Just because of some prophecy you heard as a child?!
Raven: Fumikage......I know what I know. I've known my whole life that this days was coming. I tried to control the dark side of me, but I can't.
Tsukuyomi: I don't accept that! Neither should you! This isn't you Raven! I love you! I know who you are! You're not some portal to unleashing the apocalypse! You're a hero! You are a Titan! No one knows their destiny! There are things you can't possibly know!
Raven pauses at her lover's words.
Raven: There are some things I didn't know. Like how I would make such wonderful friends. Like how I would find love. All I wanted was to make your last day perfect. I know you can never forgive me, instead, you spent it worrying about me.
Tsukuyomi then walks up to Raven and grabs her hand.
Tsukuyomi: Because I love you Raven. I want to help you! Let me help you!
Raven: Then you have to let me go.
Raven then uses her magic to push Tsukuyomi away. After that, she creates a large barrier between her and him.
Raven: Call them off Jared.
Jared: As you wish.
Jared sent a telepathic order to James and Jesses as they teleport inside the barrier. The Titans rush to the barrier where they see Tsukuyomi bashing on it along with Dark Shadow.
Tsukuyomi: RAVEN! PLEASE! DON'T DO THIS!
The other Titans soon join Tsukuyomi in his efforts to destroy the barrier, but to no avail. They could only watch as Raven spoke the words of the ritual.
Raven: 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!
As Raven spoke the words, Raven and the Sons of Trigon are consumed in a blinding light as the ground shakes before them. The barrier is lifted as the portal opens as Trigon is summoned.
Trigon: THE EARTH IS MINE!
As Trigon spoke those words, the Titans are frozen in fear. Tsukuyomi's thoughts went to Raven. It seemed that the world was on the brink of chaos and doom. Everything then turned black before the Titans.
