"It has begun." Slade said as Robin and Beast Boy were watching the fight they had with Slade
"Freeze! Rewind." Robin said
"Dude. We've been looking at this thing all day. I'm telling you there's nothing else there." Beast boy said
"There has to be. Play it again." Robin said
"Slade kicks butt, take 304." Beast Boy said and played the video again
"Cyborg, anything?" Robin asked
"I cross matched that symbol with every database on the planet and I got nothing. Whatever that thing is, it's not from earth." Cyborg said
"New powers, cryptic threats, targeting Raven. Slade's playing a whole new game now and this symbol is the key. I will find out what it means." Robin said
Raven's room/mind
"Tick tock, Raven. Time's running out." Slades voice said from around her
"I'm not afraid of you." Raven said
"Silly girl. I'm not the one to be afraid of. You know that." Slade said
"What you have concealed you shall become." Trigon's voice said
"It's a lie. I won't let this happen. I'll find a way." Raven said as she was surrounded by fire
"Your optimism is really adorable, but you're forgetting one thing, Raven. This is what you were born to do. You were sent here to destroy the earth." Slade said
"Your destiny will be fulfilled. The portal must be opened!" Trigon said
Real world
Raven was back in her world and she was breathing heavy. Her visions have started again and they were getting more intense each time. She was surrounded by her books meditating as she was still trying to find a way to keep the portal from opening since it was still a huge risk that she would survive.
"Another vision?" Naruto asked
"Yes. I just have to accept the fact that the portal will open no matter what." Raven said and Naruto pulled her into a hug
"When the time comes, maybe you should willingly open the portal and make Trigon think you're on his side." Naruto said
"Why?" Raven asked
"Because our chances of you surviving rely on him. If he thinks you're on his side after willingly opening the portal, then I think it's a high chance that he'll keep you alive." Naruto said
"What about after he's here? Then what?" Raven asked
"Then the plan is simple. We kill him." Naruto said
"You say it like killing him will be easy." Raven said
"I know it won't be easy, but I know we can do it." Naruto said
"You always know what to say to calm me down." Raven said
"Well, I have to. I'd be a bad husband if I didn't." Naruto said and then there was a knock on the door
"Uhh, any luck finding the symbol?" Robin asked
"No. It's not in any of my books." Raven said
"Are you okay, Raven? You look a little, paler." Robin said as he opened the door
"It's nothing. I just haven't been able to meditate lately, that's all." Raven said
"Look, I know Slade scared you, but we'll find out why he was after you." Robin said
"Slade doesn't concern me." Raven said
"What about you, Naruto? Did you find anything from your world?" Robin asked as Naruto came walking down the hall
"When did you leave?" Raven thought
"As soon as he knocked on the door." Naruto thought
"No. This mark isn't from my world. Our worlds have the same language and writing styles." Naruto said and then the alarm went off
"Friends! Come quickly!" Starfire said over the intercom
Main room
"Cyborg is correct. This symbol is not of the earth and what I have discovered is most disturbing." Starfire said and Raven was concerned
"Don't worry. She doesn't know what the mark means." Naruto thought
"She said she discovered something about it. She must've found out." Raven thought
"Just watch." Naruto thought
"Please, give your attention to this quadrant. In folklore of the Zargack nomads, markings such as these were used as a prelude to the Goulding." Starfire said
"Actually." Beast boy said, but Starfire ignored him
"A savage ritual that requires all Zargack warriors to consume vast quantities of worms and..."
"It's tofu calzone. My bad." Beast Boy said as he pulled the tofu off of the mark
"Told you." Naruto thought
"How did you know?" Raven thought
"When Kurama was sealed inside of me, I developed a strong nose. I smelled the tofu and saw it on the paper." Naruto thought
"Oh. Nevermind." Starfire said and the alarm went off showing Slades symbol on the screen
"Slade." Robin said
"Who else has that symbol? Of course it's Slade." Naruto said
Slades location
"I do love my job." Slade said walking through fire and as he was about to shoot another fireball his arm was blasted
"Vandalism? I'd say you've hit an all time low, Slade." Robin said
"The Teen Titans. Nice of you to drop by, but as you can see I'm in the middle of something. I'll deal with you in a few minutes." Slade said
"No. We'll deal with you now." Robin said
"You can't always have what you want." Slade said and then used his powers to destroy the ground as fire sailed towards them
"Titans! Split up and take him down!" Robin said
"I'm with you Raven." Naruto thought
"Doesn't Slade know this whole block is already slated for demolition?" Cyborg asked
"Since when did Slade need an excuse to wreck stuff?" Beast boy asked
"Why did you come back? Where did you get these powers? Robin asked as he kicked Slade into a wall
"You want to know about this, don't you? How many sleepless nights have you had trying to uncover its secret? Well let me put your mind at ease. It's called the mark of skath and it's about to become very popular." Slade said
"What are you planning?" Robin asked
"I'm not planning anything. I'm simply providing a valuable public service. Illumination." Slade said
Sladee threw a fireball with the mark of skath on it at Robin and it exploded sending Robin to the ground. Slade was about to finish Robin off, but Starfire shot him with a star bolt. Slade jumped away and when Starfire chased after her, she was hit by a wrecking ball that Slade broke. Beast Boy attacked Slade as a flying squirrel distracting him and then Cyborg shot him with a sonic blast. Cyborg tried again, but Slade dodged and threw a fireball at the wall behind Cyborg and it collapsed on top of him. Slade ran away and was about to destroy another building, but Raven and Naruto appeared in front of him.
"What do you want?" Raven asked
"Only what any messenger wants, Raven. For their message to be heard. It's time your friends learned the truth. If you don't tell them, I will." Slade said
"Leave them out of this." Raven said
"I didn't bring them into this, you did. The day you came into their lives." Slade said
"That's where you're wrong. Trigon brought me into this himself when I started having dreams about him. Raven didn't bring anybody into this. They chose to stay by her side, so they brought themselves into it." Naruto said
"It doesn't really matter how they were brought into it. Tick-tock, Raven. Time is running out." Slade said and vanished in a vortex of fire
"Titans! Do you read me?!" Robin asked into his communicator
"I read you." Cyborg said
"I see you all and something else." Starfire said as she was in the air looking at a huge Mark of Skath burned into the ground
"Regroup on my location. I found something." Robin said and they all met up with him
"A library?" Beast boy asked
"Everything in a three block radius has been destroyed. Except this. Slade left it standing here for a reason." Robin said
"According to the city's master plan, this is the original library. It's been abandoned for decades." Cyborg said
"No wonder. This place is a dump." Beast boy said and kicked a pillar then pieces of the library fell revealing the mark of Skath
"The Mark of Skath. Slade told me the name." Robin said and everyone walked to the library
"Wait. We shouldn't go in. It's probably a trap." Raven said
"It's also our only lead. We'll just have to chance it." Robin said and Starfire opened the doors
Inside the library
"Dudes, even without the creepy librarians, I'm not digging this place." Beast Boy said
"It's a dead end." Robin said as they walked up to a wall
"There's nothing here. Can we go now?" Raven asked and then her mark appeared on her forehead revealing a secret passageway
"There's no turning back now. I think you should tell them what's going on." Naruto thought
"No. They haven't found anything yet. I can still keep it a secret." Raven thought
"Cool. Secret passage. You go first." Beast Boy said to Cyborg
"I did not realize your libraries housed such unpleasant sculptures." Starfire said
"They don't. This part of the building is old. I mean old old. Like before the city was built." Cyborg said
Once Raven entered the room, her mark once again and triggered the room to light up in symbols all leading to a big Mark of Skath that was on the wall. The sculptures on the wall lit up and then ghostly figures came out and began chanting.
"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." The figures chanted and marks appeared all over Raven's body
"Raven." Robin said and she ran away
"Raven! Are you okay?" Robin asked as he caught up to her
"This place. I shouldn't be here. It's all wrong." Raven said
"What's going on? What aren't you telling me?" Robin asked walking towards her
"I can't explain. I just need to leave. I can't go back in there." Raven said and left
"Wait!" Robin said, but she was already gone
"I'll go after her." Naruto said
"What's going on?" Robin asked
"Trust me. You don't want to know." Naruto said
"I want to know. I need to know." Robin said
"No. You need to get out of here like she said. If Raven tells you not to go into something, you shouldn't go in." Naruto said and vanished
Raven's room
"You might be able to stop me from meditating, but you can't stop me from leaving." Raven said as she used her powers to set up a ritual circle
"Leaving without saying goodbye." Naruto said as he appeared in her room
"I'm coming back." Raven said
"You're scared." Naruto said
"I'm not scared." Raven said
"Then what's wrong?" Naruto asked
"I-I just need to go somewhere." Raven said
"To Azarath." Naruto said
"How did you know?" Raven asked and Naruto tapped his head
"We're connected, remember? Whatever you think, I can hear it. Whatever I think, you can hear it." Naruto said
"Sometimes I wish you couldn't hear my thoughts." Raven said
"So you wish we weren't married sometimes?" Naruto asked
"No! I just wish some of my thoughts were private. I'm not used to sharing every detail about myself with somebody." Raven said
"What are you scared of?" Naruto asked
"I'm scared that I won't survive. I'm scared that I'll get all of my friends killed and I'm scared that I'll never see you again. I just need to talk to my mother." Raven said
"How long will you be gone?" Naruto asked as he walked up to Raven
"Not long. I should be back in a few minutes." Raven said and Naruto gave her a hug
"I guess I'll wait here. Tell your mother I said hey." Naruto said and Raven gave him a kiss
"Our mother. We're married, remember?" Raven asked and then her portal opened and she left
"How could I forget." Naruto thought looking at his finger
Few hours later
"So let me get this straight. After I told you that you shouldn't be in that library, you stayed and kept being nosey. Then Slade showed up and kicked your asses until Raven showed up and kicked his ass making him leave. Am I missing anything?" Naruto asked
"Slade works for somebody named Skath." Beast Boy said
"His name isn't Skath. Raven, I think you should tell them." Naruto said and Raven sighed
"The ancient order used the name Skath to protect the true identity of their master. We know him as Trigon." Raven said
"You serious? That's who we're up against? Oh man." Cyborg said
"His cruelty is legendary. Even on my world." Starfire said
"So, what makes you go all glowy in the dark?" Beast Boy asked
"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." Raven said
"But Raven, why you?" Robin asked
"Because Trigon is my father. Bad things are going to happen soon. Really bad things and it's going to be my fault. I thought I could handle this alone. I tried, but I was wrong." Raven said looking out the window
"For confiding in us, we're most humbled." Starfire said
"I only have one question. How do we stop him?" Cyborg said
"You can't." Raven said
"Well that doesn't mean we still can't try." Beast Boy said
"It's not that he can't be stopped. It just never happened. Instead of people standing up to him and fighting back, they just laid down and allowed him to kill them." Naruto said
"So what are you saying?" Beast Boy asked
"What I'm saying is that Trigon picked the wrong person to piss off." Naruto said
"Who is the person whom Trigon has pissed off?" Starfire asked
"Me. Trigon has been in my head keeping me up ever since I was 5 years old. Taunting me, keeping me up at night. His arrival is inevitable and when he arrives, he knows I'll be waiting for him." Naruto said
"Do you think you're strong enough to take him on? He's basically like the king of all demons. No offense Raven." Beast Boy said
"He may be the king of the demons in this dimension, but in my world there are the 9 tailed beasts I told you about. Each of them are basically demons and I'm good friends with the strongest of the nine beasts. I defeated the weakest tailed beast when I was 13 and I'm way stronger than what I was 3 years ago." Naruto said
"Then what's the plan?" Cyborg ask
"Prepare for the worst, but hope for the best. This will be the toughest thing any of you will ever do. This isn't a fight to put somebody in jail. This is a fight to the death." Naruto said and walked away
"Can't we just send him back to where he came from?" Beast Boy asked
"If he is to be defeated, death is the only way to go about it." Raven said and left
Naruto's room
"It's almost time." Naruto said looking at Shisui's eyes
"Are you busy?" Raven asked as she came into his room
"No. Just mentally preparing myself for the eye swap." Naruto said and sealed the eyes away
"What are you going to do with your eyes after you switch them?" Raven asked
"I'll keep them. Just in case we have a kid and he or she unlocks the Mangekyou sharingan. So this is it, huh?" Naruto asked and laid down on his bed
"Yeah. He'll be here any minute now." Raven said
"What did your mom say?" Naruto asked
"The same thing she told you. Also, Trigon destroyed Azarath and I don't know how, but my mother was still there. It must have been a spell she casted before dying." Raven said
"Sorry." Naruto said
"It's alright. I just want to get all of this over with." Raven said
"It'll be over sooner than you think." Naruto said
"After this, when Trigon is gone. Maybe we should, you know, go out. Just the two of us." Raven said
"Raven, are you asking me out on a date?" Naruto asked with heavy sarcasm
"The sarcasm isn't needed." Raven said
"I know, but I felt like using it anyway. Sure we can go out. Any specific place?" Naruto asked
"No, but it has to be at night." Raven said
"Of course it does. Are we driving or walking?" Naruto asked
"I don't think Cyborg will let anybody use his car if he's not in it." Raven said
"You do know that I have my own car, right?" Naruto asked
"I do now. Why didn't you tell me?" Raven asked
"I don't really use it." Naruto said
"I see. What are your plans for now?" Raven asked
"Well, we've been up all night and now the sun is out. I'm going to sleep and then I'll see where the day takes me." Naruto said
"Will your seal block out sunlight?" Raven asked
"Yeah. I just always activate the seal at night and deactivate it in the morning, so it's impossible to tell." Naruto said
"Good. Activate the seal. I'm tired." Raven said as she got some clothes and changed
"That's a nice view." Naruto thought
"I heard that." Raven said with a blush
"I know." Naruto said and activated his seal as Raven got in bed
"Naruto." Raven said
"Yeah." Naruto said
Raven just leaned in and gave him a kiss right on the lips. Naruto pulled away, but Raven pulled him back to her and she kissed him again. The soft kisses turned into a full blown make out session and they were feeling on each other's body. Raven took Naruto's shirt off and just as Naruto was about to take hers off he was interrupted.
"Kit get your ass in here. I need to talk to you." Kurama said and Naruto broke the kiss
"Why'd you stop?" Raven asked
"Take a guess." Naruto said
"Why must we always get interrupted? What does he want?" Raven asked
"I don't know. I'll find out." Naruto said
Naruto's mindscape
"This better be good." Naruto said
"It is. Being a demon I can feel certain things from the demon world. Why are all of these lesser demons coming to our dimension?" Kurama asked
"Trigon is coming." Naruto said
"Trigon? That runt? You've got to be joking!" Kurama said laughing
"You've heard of him?" Naruto asked
"Heard of him? That idiot tried to challenge me one day when I decided to go visit the demon world before I was sealed away. I kicked his ass without even trying. Why's he coming anyway?" Kurama asked
"Raven is involved in a prophecy for Trigon to return and destroy the earth. She's the portal in which he needs to travel though. He thinks he's invincible, but he's never faced somebody like me." Naruto said
"Make sure you kill him. He's a nuisance. I'll tell you this. The only way to kill him is with an attack that has the same kind of powers he uses. It can be an attack used with nothing but that same power or it can be a strong enough attack mixed with that power. I don't use the same powers as him so I was unable to kill him despite being stronger than him." Kurama said
"Good. I think I have the perfect move." Naruto said
"It wouldn't happen to be the jutsu you used to take out Shukaku and Narumi when she was in the four tailed state, would it?" Kurama asked and Naruto had a sheepish look on his face
"Uhh. Yeah, it is. Outside of anything with the Mangekyou and my lightning of absolution, this is my strongest attack and I can control this attack now after I throw it." Naruto said
"I hate that move." Kurama said
"You only hate it because I technically beat you with it." Naruto said
"Piss off. Anyway, Narumi is going to be sent away to try and master my power for the war. Depending on how her attitude is, I may work with her. It won't be easy to master my chakra, so it's a good thing that she's being sent away now to try and control it." Kurama said
"I thought the war didn't start for a year?" Naruto asked
"It does. She doesn't know about the war and the other reason they might be sending her away is because they want to keep her safe." Kurama said
"Alright. Listen, things are about to get hectic with Trigon coming, so I need you to not try and communicate with me until the war starts." Naruto said
"I can do that. Now, when are you going to test Narumi so you can give her the clan heir title?" Kurama asked
"I'll do it after we win the war. I might come off as a dick, but I need you to let the other tailed beasts in on it." Naruto said
"I see. Good luck to you in your fight with Trigon. I'll go tell the other tailed beasts the plan." Kurama said and left
Real world
"What did he want?" Raven asked
"Kurama just gave me a bit of info on Trigon." Naruto said
"What kind of info?" Raven asked
"The good kind and the embarrassing kind." Naruto said
"Tell me the good kind." Raven said
"Well, Trigon can in fact be killed, but it has to be a certain way." Naruto said
"What way?" Raven asked
"He has to be killed by a strong attack that uses the same kind of powers as him or an attack that has the same powers as him and something else combined together." Naruto said and Raven went wide eyed
"So you're saying I'll have to be the one to kill him." Raven said
"Yes. His death involves you either way. His arrival has made lesser demons cross into my dimension and Kurama sensed it. That's why he contacted me." Naruto said
"That's good. Now I guess we just need to see if he's in a good enough mood to leave me alive." Raven said
"Exactly." Naruto said
"Now what's the embarrassing info?" Raven asked
"Trigon tried to challenge Kurama before he was sealed away and Kurama kicked his ass without even trying. I guess it was a private matter since it's not in any of your books from Azarath." Naruto said
"That is embarrassing." Raven said and yawned
"Let's go to sleep." Naruto said
"We were busy." Raven said
"Raven, you're about to pass out. I know you haven't been sleeping through the night recently. Just go to sleep. We have the rest of our lives to do that." Naruto said
"I guess you're right." Raven said and after another yawn she collapsed onto the bed softly snoring
Few weeks later
"No!" Raven said as she woke up and saw the marks over her body
"It's time. Isn't it?" Naruto asked
"Yes." Raven said
Kitchen
Raven quickly got dressed and after a brief conversation with Robin on the roof, she went to the kitchen and decided to make breakfast. The only problem was Raven was a terrible cook and it showed. She tried to flip a pancake over and struggled. Once the pancake was able to be flipped, it was sent flying at Robin who caught in on his plate, but fell to the ground.
"Nice flip." Robin said as he got up
"Morning. Pancake?" Raven offered the other Titans
"Uhh, thanks." Beast Boy said
"What is the occasion?" Starfire asked
"Can't I just do something nice for my friends?" Raven asked
"Uhh, yeah. But..." Cyborg trailed off
"You never have before. Guess there's a first time for everything." Beast Boy said as the Titans minus Naruto ate the pancakes and only Starfire liked them, but Robin, Cyborg and Beast Boy spit them out
"Don't you think it's nice of Raven to make us breakfast?" Robin asked
"Even though the girl has no clue how to cook. Ooops. Did I say that out loud? Yum!" Cyborg said
"Burnt on the outside, yet runny on the inside. Just like the incendiary glorka roaches of my home world. More please!" Starfire said as she put mustard on her pancakes
"Soooo, I was thinking. After breakfast you guys wanna maybe, hangout or something?" Raven asked and tried her best to put on a believable smile
"Wow this is embarrassing to watch." Naruto thought
"Shut up!" Raven thought
"It'll have to wait." Robin said as his communicator beeped and the Titans ran out of the room
"I know what you're trying to do." Naruto said
"I just want them to have a nice day before everything happens." Raven said and Naruto pulled her in for a hug
"I know. I think it's nice of you to do that." Naruto said and Raven nodded
"Just promise me that you'll be okay." Raven said
"Raven." Naruto said with a sigh
"Promise me!" Raven said
"I promise I'll be okay." Naruto said
"Let's go see what bad guy it is now." Raven said and they both vanished
Pizza place
After arriving at the place where the call came from, the Titans quickly defeated Plasmus after Raven used an astral projection of herself to put the actual person who would turn into Plasmus to sleep. She offered pizza and that's where they were now. It was down to the last slice and they were arguing over it.
"I deserve the last slice. I was covered in goo." Cyborg said
"No way dude. I totally deserve the last slice. I got sneezed on." Beast Boy said
"I flew through the goo. The slice is mine." Starfire said banging her fist on the table making all of the buildings rise off the ground and she was given the last slice.
"You're awfully quiet." Robin said
"Just enjoying hanging out with my friends." Raven said
Park
"DUDE." Beast Boy yelled and Raven got ready to attack something
"It's just a penny." Naruto thought
"Find a penny, pick it up. Something something something. Good luck! It's my lucky day!" Beast Boy said
"Anyone up for a game of extreme stankball after lunch?" Cyborg asked
"Yeah. Sure." Raven said and the other Titans froze
"But you hate anything extreme or stanky." Beast boy said
"Maybe I never gave it a chance." Raven said
"Raven. Would you still have time to join me in the painting of the toenails later today?" Starfire asked
"Sounds like fun." Raven said
"Now she's starting to creep me out." Naruto thought
"Okay, Raven. What gives? Pancakes, pizza, stankball, toenails?" Robin asked
"Yeah and she hasn't called me stupid all day. Did someone replace Raven with a Raven robot?" Beast boy asked
"I just want everyone to have a nice day today. Come on. We have a lot to do before sunset." Raven said and then the moon appeared over sun causing Raven to grunt in pain as her marks returned then she collapsed, but Naruto picked her up
"Why did you tell us? It's happening isn't it?" Robin asked
"Please, Raven. Today is the day?" Starfire asked
"Yes. The end of the world." Raven said and started to cry
"Let's get her back to the tower." Cyborg said
Titan Tower
"Okay everyone. Just as we planned." Robin said
"Where are you taking me?" Raven asked as she was being carried by Naruto
"You said there was nothing we could do. We didn't agree so we've been preparing for this day." Robin said and opened a secret room
"You did all this, for me?" Raven asked
"We're ready to take on Trigon." Robin said
"You say you're ready, but I honestly don't think you are." Naruto said
"We're ready." Robin said
"Really? Let's say Trigon kills Starfire right in front of you. What will you do?" Naruto asked
"I'll do what I have to. Now, our plan is simple. Raven, you're the portal. Trigon needs you to take over the earth." Robin said
"But if Trigon can't get to the portal, then he can't take over." Cyborg said
"So all we must do is keep the Trigon from getting to Raven." Starfire said
"You guys don't get it." Naruto said
"You'll be safe in here. Everything's ready. I've installed all of the state of the art technology. Nothing alive is getting in here." Cyborg said
"And these symbols should keep out everything else. We took them out of your books." Starfire said
"Just in case you need some extra mojo." Beast Boy said
"This is all great, but it's not going to make a difference. Today the prophecy will be fulfilled. Trigon is coming. There's no stopping it." Raven said
"There's never been a villain we couldn't stop before." Robin said
"Trigon isn't a villain. He's the incarnation of evil. The source of all darkness." Raven said and Beast Boy cut her off
"Okay, bad dude. We get it." Beast Boy said
"No! You don't! You don't know Trigon." Raven said
"And Trigon doesn't know the Titans." Robin said
"You're wrong, Robin. Trigon does know the Titans." Naruto said
"How?" Cyborg asked
"Slade works for Trigon. You don't think Trigon had him tell whatever he knew about you all and your skills? I'm the only one he doesn't know about and it frightens him. All he knows about me is that I'm stronger than what I let on." Naruto said
"Then why don't you just go to Trigon instead?" Beast Boy asked
"In order for me to go to Trigon, the portal has to open. There would be no point because once the portal opens, Trigon will appear." Naruto said
"Oh yeah." Beast Boy said
"It doesn't matter. Raven, stay in here. We'll be watching from up there if you need us." Robin said and they all left, expect Beast Boy who came back then placed the penny in her hand
"For luck." Beast Boy said and ran away
"Want me to stay?" Naruto asked
"No. I just want to be alone for now." Raven said and Naruto poked her on the forehead
"Why didn't you tell them you are going to open the portal willingly." Naruto thought as he left the room
"I'm improvising on the plan. If they knew, they'd somehow ruin it." Raven thought
"That's smart." Naruto thought
"Naruto. I just want you to know that I..."
"No. Don't say it." Naruto thought interrupting her
"I have to tell you." Raven thought
"We agreed that you'd tell me after you survived. Don't say it now." Naruto thought
"What if he doesn't let me live?" Raven thought
"It's a chance that he will. You'll survive and I'll be waiting for you. I'll even come look for you myself if I have to." Naruto thought and Raven smiled
Watch room
"So far everything seems pretty normal." Cyborg said
"Yup. Just your normal last day on earth." Beast Boy said
"It's not our last day." Robin said
"Everything will be okay, yes?" Starfire asked
"I hope so." Robin said
"Like I said. Prepare for the worst, but hope for the best." Naruto said and the monitors started beeping
"The Trigon has contacted her. We must assist." Starfire said
"It's safest if she stays in there." Robin said
"Robin's right. Besides, we got company." Cyborg said
"Why are there so many?" Beast Boy asked
"It's probably Slade and an army." Naruto said
"Let's go get him. Naruto, you stay back and guard Raven. Titans! Go!" Robin said and they all left
"It's no use. They're fighting an army of ghosts basically and Slade can't die as long as he's aligned with Trigon." Naruto thought and then the power went out in the building
"Way to go, Cyborg. You want to keep Raven safe yet you drained all the power from the tower with that attack." Naruto thought
"Naruto?" Raven thought
"Yeah." Naruto thought
"It's time." Raven thought and Naruto could feel the sadness
"Let's go." Naruto thought and after getting Raven out of the room they went outside
Outside
"Stop!" Raven said as Slade was about to kill Robin and then the Titans were released
""Raven." Cyborg said as Raven flew up to Slade
"I will go with you." Raven said and Robin ran in between them
"We won't let them take you." Robin said
"You need to get back in the safety room, please." Starfire said
"I can't hide from my destiny any longer." Raven said and Naruto just watched on
"No." Beast boy said and Raven lifted her hands and used her powers to knock them out except Naruto, but he was also hit by her powers
"Goodbye. Be safe. Let's go." Raven said and walked away with Slade
"Raven." Robin said as the Titans woke up after a few minutes
"She sure packs a wallop." Cyborg said
"Dude, we were only trying to help her." Beast Boy said
"I fear it is too late to assist her." Starfire said
"It's never too late." Robin said
"She's making her way back to the old library." Cyborg said
"Let's go." Robin said and started to run in the direction of the library
"Unless you can run on water I suggest you stop." Naruto said
"We don't have time to waste!" Robin said
"I never said that. Everyone just grab me. Raven dropped one of my kunai so I can teleport all of us there in an instant." Naruto said
"Right." Robin said and everyone placed a hand on Naruto
Old Library
"It is time. The prophecy shall be fulfilled." Raven said and then blasts were heard coming from her army
"Raven!" Robin said and Raven sent away her army with the wave of her hand
"It has already begun. There's no stopping it." Raven said
"You're willing to give up on everything. All because of some prophecy you heard as a child? What if it's wrong?" Robin asked
"Robin. I know what I know." Raven said
"I don't believe that. You can take control. You can make it not happen." Robin said
"I've known my whole life 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 hope it would somehow make up for the horrible thing I'm destined to do." Raven said
"But no one knows their destiny. There are things you can't possibly know." Robin said
"There are some things I didn't know. Like how I would make such wonderful friends. All I wanted was to make this day perfect, instead you spent it worrying about me." Raven said
"That's what friends do." Robin said
"As my friends, you have to let me go." Raven said and blocked them off with her powers then walked up to the giant hand to start the process, but she heard Naruto's voice
"I'll be waiting for you." Naruto said
"I know." Raven thought and began the chant
"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." Raven chanted as her eyes started to glow and her marks appeared
"NO." Robin yelled
Raven let out a yell and the marks on her body came off of her then started to spin around her. Starfire couldn't watch and cried on Robin's shoulder. A while light came from Ravens core and then covered her entire body. The symbols floating around Raven created one ring and then the light shrunk with the symbols then expanded into a huge portal that destroyed the statue. Soon after, Trigon made his presence known and appeared from the portal.
"The earth is mine!" Trigon said and then let out a shockwave of power destroying everything on the earth in an instant
Destroyed building
Robin was walking along the street of the destroyed earth and saw everything was destroyed. People were turned to stone and the sky was red. The Titans survived because Raven gave them some of her powers and they were protected by them. Robin found a raven and followed it as it flew up to the destroyed building where he is now. He knelt down looking out at the destruction and then the building broke where he was at. He was saved by an arm grabbing him.
"I gotcha. I'm glad you made it." Cyborg said as he pulled Robin up
"Robin. You are unharmed." Starfire said and gave him a hug
"I saw something. Out in the city and it led me here." Robin said
"It led all of us here. Almost all of us." Beast Boy said
"Where's Naruto? Did he survive?" Robin asked
"He's over there. He was the first one here and he's just been staring off into the distance." Beast boy said pointing at Naruto
"We're the only ones left." Cyborg said
"But how did we survive?" Starfire asked
"It was Raven. She saved us. I don't know how, but she did." Beast Boy said
"Back at the tower when Raven knocked us out, the last thing I heard was her voice and she said be safe. She did something. Something that protected us from Trigon." Robin said
"She gave us some of her powers. When she knocked all of you out, it wasn't just so she could go with Slade. It was so she could give you some of her powers without Slade knowing what she did." Naruto said
"It doesn't matter now. Look around us. There's nothing left. What's the point?" Cyborg asked
"Hope. That's the point. As long as we're still here, we still have a chance. We're going to keep fighting. For Raven." Robin said and they all put their hands together, but were blown back
"That felt weird." Cyborg said
"It was Raven's powers." Naruto said
"Let's go stop Trigon." Robin said and they left
Trigon
Trigon was sitting on the Titan tower as he made it into his personal throne. He took a deep breath and grew in size. Starfire came out of the air and shot him with a couple of star blasts in the face. Robin came next jumping from rock to rock careful not to slip into the lava surrounding him and threw exploding gadgets at Trigon's legs. Cyborg was being held up by Beast Boy who turned into a Pterodactyl. Cyborg fired several rockets at Trigon and then shot him with his sonic cannon.
"TRIGON. STAND UP AND FIGHT." Robin yelled
"Insignificant insects." Trigon said
"I think it's time to hit him hard." Robin said
"You're positive we're not going to accidentally microwave our brains?" Beast Boy asked
"I have used Raven's powers before. They are controlled by her emotions. The more we feel, the more energy is released." Starfire said
"In other words, get angry." Cyborg said then they all held hands and got as angry as possible then shot Trigon in the chest with a powerful blast making him yell in pain before he smirked
"You may think it's 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 said and shot the Titans out of the air with an eye blast that sent them back to the library
"Guess that wasn't enough." Cyborg said
"Of all the places to crash and burn. Why did it have to be here?" Beast Boy asked
"Please. I wish to leave." Starfire said
"And go where? The whole world is toast. The only person who'd know what to do we could really use her help right now." Cyborg said
"I know what we saw, but I still can't believe it. It just doesn't feel like Raven's really gone." Robin said
"That's because she isn't." A voice said
"Slade." Robin said as Slade walked up to them and then they quickly beat him down
"What's the matter, Slade? Giving up already?" Robin asked
"Sorry to disappoint you, Robin. But I'm not here to fight. I'm here to help." Slade said
"We don't need your help." Beast Boy said
"Yes, you seem to have everything under control. Raven can still be saved." Slade said and Starfire attacked him
"You will not dishonor our friend with your trickery." Starfire said
"Whatever you're selling, we're not buying." Cyborg said
"Stand down! He's not lying." Naruto said as he appeared
"How can you trust him?" Beast Boy asked
"Because Slade wouldn't even want something like this. Yeah he's evil, but he wants to rule the world. Not destroy it." Naruto said
"Your friend is right. Think of me what you will, but what Trigon did is something even I wouldn't wish on this world." Slade said
"It's a little late for I'm sorry." Cyborg said
"You mistake my generosity for regret, Cyborg. I only offer my assistance because it suits me." Slade said and Starfire released him
"But we saw Raven become the portal. She was destroyed." Starfire said
"Raven has fulfilled the prophecy of her birth. That part of her existence is complete, but another still remains for the moment." Slade said
"Why are you doing this? What's in it for you?" Robin asked
"My reasons are my own. Do you want your friend back or not?" Slade said walking past them
"Just tell us where she is and we'll take it from there." Cyborg said
"There will be no we. This is a journey only one of you may take." Slade said
"No deal. She's our friend. All of us are going." Beast Boy said
"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 completely occupied." Slade said
"Then how do you expect us to do that? We already tried fighting him and look where it got us." Cyborg said
"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 lose. Only endure." Slade said
"I'll go with you." Robin said
"No. I'll be going with Slade." Naruto said
"The journey to this world has taken much of Trigon's power. 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 said holding out a ring and Starfire took it
"You guys can do it. Remember, this is what you all have been preparing for." Naruto said and Starfire gave him a hug
"It may get ugly, but don't worry. We'll keep him busy." Cyborg said
"Yeah. Just wait until Trigon gets slapped with my patented wet Willy maneuver." Beast Boy said
"He won't know what hit him." Robin said
"Your goodbyes are really touching, but we have something to do." Slade said and walked away
"I'll be back." Naruto said
"Make sure you bring Raven back in one piece." Cyborg said and Naruto just waved over his shoulder
Slade and Naruto
"Before we continue, a warning. If we succeed, I can't guarantee you'll like what you'll find." Slade said as they approached two huge doors
"I'll take my chances." Naruto said and they opened the doors then walked down to a boat that was floating on lava
"I'm guessing you're helping us because Trigon owed you something in return for bringing him Raven, but he double crossed you." Naruto said steering the boat
"You could say that, yes." Slade said
"Selling out this world for your own personal gain seems pretty cut and dry to me." Naruto said
"With or without me, there was no stopping this." Slade said
"I know. That's why me and Raven planned to let the portal open." Naruto said
"Seems like something I would do. I'm guessing your friends did not know about this plan." Slade said
"The less people who knew, the better. Me and Raven both knew this day would happen regardless. When you first appeared with the mark of skath, she purposely let you place the mark on her. She could have easily used a spell and sent you back to where you came from, but it wasn't in the best interest." Naruto said
"Why would you purposely want Trigon to appear? Do you despise the world that much that you're willing to let it end?" Slade asked
"No. Trigon has been in my dreams since I was 5 taunting me. I've come in contact with him before through Raven and he knows I'm going to challenge him. I also know he's scared to fight me because I'm more than a challenge for him." Naruto said
"What do you hope to gain from fighting Trigon other than a tombstone with your name on it?" Slade asked
"It's simple. Trigon is going to die." Naruto said
"That is nothing but wishful thinking. I was able to enter the demon world while influenced by Trigon's powers he's gifted me and they all said the same thing. It is impossible to kill him. That is why he was imprisoned for so long." Slade said
"That is where you are wrong. It's a certain way you have to kill Trigon and I know how to do it." Naruto said and they were surrounded by the same army Slade was commanding earlier
Naruto unsealed his sword and Slade used the staff he had to attack the demons. Naruto channeled lighting chakra through his sword and started cutting away at the demons and then jumped onto a rock. Slade was taking out the demons with his staff swiftly and he also jumped on the rock.
"This is a minor setback. Nothing two old friends can handle." Slade said
"I'm not your friend. Get down." Naruto said
Slade did as told so Naruto used the Chidori stream to take out all of the demons that were surrounding them. One last demon appeared and knocked Slade's mask off his face. Naruto threw a kunai at the demon and killed it. Slade turned around and Naruto saw that he was just a skeleton, but had his left eye and it was completely red with a black pupil.
"So I was right. You are dead." Naruto said
"I wish you hadn't seen that. It's really only a temporary condition." Slade said as he put his mask on
"Trigon was supposed to give you your life back. That's why you came down here." Naruto said
"Precisely. Now we must keep moving." Slade said
They started walking again and this time it was silence between them. They both had their own reasons for coming down here and they were both using each other for what they wanted. As they were walking along a narrow path, the area Slade stepped on gave out and he fell down to the bottom which was where they were headed.
"You must be overjoyed to see me like this. Desperate, weak, vulnerable." Slade said
"I couldn't care any less. You're helping me get what I want and I'm helping you get to what you want. That's all this is. You're a strong willed person. I doubt you'd want sympathy anyway. Which way do we go?" Naruto asked
"I'm afraid this is where we part. You'll find your friend along that path." Slade said pointing to Naruto's right
"What about you?" Naruto asked
"What I seek, is in a somewhat hotter place." Slade said and walked away
Naruto
Naruto started to walk along the path and after about 10 minutes, he came across more of those demons. He unsealed his sword again and quickly sliced them all up. He walked further until he found what appeared to be a church and entered. He called out to see if anybody was around, but he didn't get a response. All he got was the sound of feet running and he saw somebody running with a cloak on. He chased after whoever it was and once the person fell, he pulled the cloak off and was shocked at what he saw.
"Raven." Naruto said, but this girl was about 7 years old
"Who..Who are you?" Raven asked as she didn't know who he was
"You don't recognize me?" Naruto asked
"No." Raven said shaking her head and Naruto did the transformation jutsu turning into his younger self
"Now do you recognize me?" Naruto asked
"Naruto." Raven whispered
"That would be me." Naruto said and went back to normal
"I'm lost." Raven said
"I know, but I can help you. You just have to let me." Naruto said extending his hand to her and she took it and they left to the boat that took them close to the entrance
"Alright. How about a story to pass the time?" Naruto asked carrying the 7 year old on his back
"Okay." Raven said
"This is the story of Raven. She was a very good friend and she was very brave. Together we fought evil monsters and villains and we kept our city safe. Even though she was doing good, Raven was afraid that deep down inside she was bad. See from the day she was born, people told her that someday something terrible was going to..."
Naruto was cut off as the lava split open and more demons came flying up towards them, but kept going and created a huge hold in the ground up above them. He channeled halts to his feet to keep himself balanced and had to summon his susanoo rib cage to protect him and Raven from the fallen debris. Naruto made it to a safe place and placed Raven on the ground. He wiped the blood from his eyes and then Raven spoke up.
"Naruto, why are you doing this?" Raven asked
"You do remember, don't you?" Naruto asked and she nodded
"The story you were telling. I can see it. Bits and pieces. You, our friends, my father. Like it was a dream or a nightmare. Whatever it was, it's over." Raven said
"Raven, if you can remember what happened then you know there's a way to stop him." Naruto said
"All I can remember is that nobody can stop him. You came down here for nothing." Raven said
"I came down here for you." Naruto said
"Why?! I can't help. My powers came from him and now that he's done with me I don't have them anymore. There was a prophecy, Naruto and it came true. It's all over now." Raven said
"Yeah it's the end of the world, but so what. We're still here. We're still fighting. Still friends." Naruto said
"Look at me, Naruto! There's nothing I can do. There isn't any hope." Raven said
"Do you remember anything about us, after the first time we met?" Naruto asked
"No." Raven said
"Do you know which finger is your ring finger?" Naruto asked
"Yes." Raven said
"I want you to take a good look at it." Naruto said and Raven did as told then noticed something
"I can see a spiral, but it's faded. What does it mean?" Raven asked and Naruto smiled
"Before everything happened with Trigon coming, we were married." Naruto said and showed her his faded raven on his ring finger
"We were married?" Raven asked as she climbed on Naruto's back and he started to walk up the wall again
"Yup. I won't go into how we got married, but we cared about each other very much. I told you that I would come after you when the portal was opened. We were going to end Trigon together and then move on with our lives. If you want, we can still take out Trigon." Naruto said
"How can we stop him? I don't have any powers." Raven said
"Before you opened the portal, you gave each of us some of your powers to survive. I can give you what you gave me, but you'll have to get the rest from our friends. You do that and we can take out Trigon. In order for him to be taken out, your powers are needed. Are you in?" Naruto asked
"I guess." Raven said
"That's better than no, so I'll take it. Now, until you get the rest of your powers back, I want you to stay hidden." Naruto said
"What are you going to do?" Raven asked
"I'm going to fight Trigon. He's been a thorn in my side long enough. I'll show you how strong I've gotten since I was a kid." Naruto said
"I thought you were strong back then as well." Raven said
"Thank you." Naruto said and they left arriving in time to save the Titans from a group of demons
"Naruto!" Starfire said as they ran up to him
"Dude, you're back!" Beast Boy said
"Raven." Cyborg said as they saw the little girl next to him
"What happened to her?" Robin asked
"This is all Trigon left of her. He caused her to revert back to her younger self. She doesn't remember much, but she remembers enough. He stripped her of her powers, but I gave her whatever she gave me back to her. You all need to do the same." Naruto said
"Alright Titans. Let's give Raven her powers back and then take on Trigon." Robin said
"No. Give her back her powers and stay with her. You all had your chance with Trigon and now it's my turn." Naruto said and activated his Mangekyou sharingan
"Are you sure it is wise to use that?" Starfire asked
"Yeah." Naruto said and made a shadow clone that vanished
"What was that?" Beast Boy asked
"Insurance policy." Naruto said
"Good luck." Robin said
"We'll be here if you need anything." Cyborg said
"Be careful, Naruto." Raven said and he ruffled her hair smiling
"Of course." Naruto said and vanished
"Whoa. He's fast." Raven said
Naruto vs Trigon
"Where did they go?" Trigon asked himself before he was punched away by a giant light blue fist
"I'm the one you should be worried about now." Naruto said
"You. I was wondering when you'd show your face. Have you come to beg for mercy?" Trigon asked
"I don't beg. Now, shall we get started?" Naruto asked
Trigon didn't say anything and just shot Naruto with his eye beam. Naruto still had his armored Susanoo activated so he didn't take any damage. Naruto knew he didn't have much time left until his eyes gave out, so he had to finish it quickly. He used the Amaterasu and covered the sword his Susanoo came with in the black flames then swung at Trigon who was too slow to get out of the way and Trigon had one of his eyes cut out.
"He hurt him." Raven said watching the fight
"He's stronger than all of us combined." Cyborg said
Naruto felt the blood rush down his face and the Susanoo faded and came back. He grit his teeth in pain from the burning sensation in his eyes, but kept up his assault. Trigon rose up from the lava and threw a building at Naruto who was hit by the building and the Susanoo crashed to the ground. Naruto got up and the sword from his Susanoo disappeared. His eyes were fading quicker now and he knew the time was close. The Susanoo rose off the ground and lifted its hand in the air causing storm clouds to form and then a huge bird was created in the air. If you looked closely, you could see the bird was a raven.
"That's a big bird." Raven said
"TAKE COVER." Robin yelled and grabbed Raven as they ran for cover
Lightning of absolution
The giant raven in the air started firing lightning down towards Trigon at a rapid pace and he was hit by every single bolt of lightning that was created. After the jutsu was done, Naruto did one final thing before his eye sight completely gave out. He created a bow and arrow with his flame control ability and shot an arrow right through the middle of Trigon's chest pinning him to the ground. The Titans started to celebrate, but it was short-lived when Naruto's Susanoo disappeared and he fell to the ground breathing heavily. Naruto raised his hands up to his face, but he couldn't see them.
"Dammit. I thought I had more time." Naruto thought
"We need to assist him!" Starfire said and flew off
"Let's go!" Robin said before they could get close to Trigon, he trapped them in a orange ball that was shocking them
"Your world has ended. Your time is up!" Trigon said and then Slade came and cut off one of his horns causing him to release the Titans
"TITANS GO." Robin yelled
Trigon threw his huge hand out at them and once it hit the ground, Robin and Cyborg were sent flying back by the shockwave. Starfire flew up to Trigon's face and threw multiple star blasts at him. Cyborg got back up and shot him in the chest with his sonic cannon while Beast Boy turned into a T-Rex after flying in the air as a small bird then bit Trigon on the ear.
While the Titans were attacking Trigon, Naruto was sitting on the ground gathering what little natural energy he could find and entered his first version of sage mode. He couldn't see, but he was able to heighten his senses and was able to feel where Trigon was. He joined in the fight and gave Trigon a huge punch in the gut that actually hurt and made Trigon hold his stomach. The gathered assault on Trigon brought him down to his knees and Raven couldn't believe it. Slade through his double sided axe at Trigon and cut his other horn off of his head.
"ENOUGH." Trigon yelled and blasted everyone away
"Get up! Naruto, please! Get up!" Raven said as she was shaking Naruto who didn't have time to move out of the way
"I'll be fine, Raven. Just give me a few seconds." Naruto said and Trigon walked up to them
"Farewell, dear daughter." Trigon said and shot a powerful eye blast at Raven and was shocked that a barrier protected her
"How?" Raven asked
"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 survived only because I allow it. What hope can a mere child have of defeating her all powerful father?!" Trigon asked and Raven was surrounded by a bright light
"You may have created me, but you were never my father." Raven said as she turned back to her older self and shot him with a white blast
"Let's end this." Naruto said as he stood up back in sage mode
"You retched, insignificant..." Trigon didn't finish because Raven shot him with another blast
"Fathers are kind." Raven said and shot him with a blast at the same time Naruto used the fireball jutsu on him
"Fathers protect you." Raven said and shot him again as Naruto summons Sokudo and flies into the air getting his attack ready
"Fathers raise you! I was protected by the monks of Azarath. I was raised by my mother and friends! They are my family. This is my home and you are not welcomed here." Raven said as a blueish-green light surrounded the area
UZUMAKI METEOR
AZARATH METRION ZINTHOS
Naruto threw his attack at Trigon and Raven created a huge white raven that was sent at Trigon. The combined powers of both attacks was more than enough to take out Trigon and end his existence forever. The white light suddenly grew until it spread around the entire world and everything was sent back to how it was before Trigon came. Raven came floating down to the ground and her friends approached her.
"Raven. That was." Starfire said
"Unbelievable." Cyborg said finishing Starfires sentence
"No, it wasn't. Somebody believed." Raven said
"Welcome back." Robin said as Sokudo landed and Naruto carefully got off of him before sending him away
"I guess it's safe to say we won." Naruto said
"Who is he talking to?" Beast Boy asked
"I'm talking to you." Naruto said
"Uhh, we're over here." Cyborg said waving his hand
"Really? Sorry about that." Naruto said and then turned to his left still not facing them
"Is he joking right now?" Beast Boy asked and Raven walked up to Naruto
"Naruto, look at me." Raven said and since Raven was close to him he could tell where she was so he turned to her
"Hey, Raven. How's it going?" Naruto asked with his eyes closed
"Open your eyes." Raven said and Naruto did as told revealing his dull eyes that were no longer working
"What happened to his eyes?" Beast Boy asked
"Yeah. They basically have no pupil or anything." Beast Boy said
"He's blind. His eyesight faded during the fight with Trigon." Raven said
"Why though?" Robin asked
"His powers are a double edged sword. The more he uses the advanced version of his eye sharingan, he goes blind. When he came here I think he had 50 percent or less of his eyesight and he's used them a couple times since he's been here. The fight with Trigon was his final time using the eyes before going completely blind." Raven said
"That sucks. I'll do anything I can to get him his eyesight back." Cyborg said
"I'm right here you know. Thanks for the offer, but it's not needed." Naruto said
"Dude, you're blind." Beast Boy said
"I have a way to cure the blindness. I'm getting an eye transplant as soon as we get to the tower." Naruto said
"Eye transplants aren't possible." Cyborg said
"Maybe not in your world, but where I'm from it's possible. The people here don't possess the skills needed to do it, but me and Raven can do it. She's going to do the procedure for me." Naruto said
"You'd need to find a person who's willing to swap eyes with you." Cyborg said
"I need a specific pair of eyes and I already have them." Naruto said and unsealed Shisui's eyes
"That's disgusting!" Beast Boy said
"Look, can we go now? I would like to see everything again." Naruto said
"Right. Let's go." Robin said
"Hang on a second." Raven said
"What is it?" Cyborg asked
"Naruto's going the wrong way." Raven said pointing at Naruto who was walking in the opposite direction
"This is too funny. Maybe I should tell some blind jokes." Beast Boy said
"You can, but you'll die after you say them." Naruto said as Starfire picked him up and flew back to the tower
Titan tower
"Are you sure you don't need any help?" Cyborg asked
"Yes. I can handle this on my own. Only I have the power and skills to do the procedure." Raven said as Naruto was unconscious in Raven's room
"Why can't we come watch?" Beast Boy asked
"I have to basically rip his eyes out and replace them? Do you really want to see that?" Raven asked
"Nope." Beast Boy said and ran to throw up
"Didn't think so." Raven said
"We'll be out here if you need anything." Robin said and Raven went into her room
Raven's room
"Okay. I can do this." Raven said
After getting herself mentally prepared, Raven began the operation and was surprised she didn't throw up or anything since this is the first time she's had to do this. It took her 5 hours to do the eye switch because she was going extremely slow since she didn't want to mess anything up. Once she was done she wrapped his eyes up like the notes said that he gave her. She placed his eyes back in the liquid that previously contained Shisui's eyes and put them on the shelf. She placed him on her bed and figured he should sleep here for now. There was a knock on the door so she decided to go and answer it.
"How's it going?" Robin asked
"It's done. He's asleep on my bed." Raven said
"I'm sorry, what?" Beast boy asked
"He's sleeping in my bed." Raven said
"Why?" Cyborg asked
"Because I have to check on him every few hours for the next couple of days and it would be easier if I kept him in my room." Raven said
"That and I want to be the first person he sees when he's able to take the bandages off." Raven thought
"I shall go and prepare the Tamaranean feast for when he awakens from his slumber." Starfire said
"We don't know when he'll wake up. It could be hours, days or possibly weeks before he wakes up. I put the strongest sleeping spell I could find on him." Raven said
"Why? Shouldn't regular anesthesia work?" Cyborg asked
"No. His healing ability would just counteract the anesthesia so it wouldn't work. This was the best thing I could do." Raven said
"Keep us updated on his status." Robin said and they all walked away then Raven closed her door
Few days later
"I don't know what I did, but you should've been up by now." Raven said looking at Naruto
"I am up." Naruto said scaring Raven
"You scared me. How long have you been up?" Raven asked
"A few hours." Naruto said and started to take off his bandages
"Wait! It's too early for those to be taken off." Raven said
"It's fine, Raven. The procedure was a success." Naruto said and took off his bandages opening his eyes
"I forgot we have the same color eyes." Raven said
"That's because my eyes were fading." Naruto said
"We won." Raven said
"I know. I'm glad to have you back." Naruto said and gave Raven a hug that she happily returned
"I love you, Naruto." Raven said squeezing him tight
"I love you too." Naruto said and Raven gave him a kiss
"You don't realize how long I've been waiting to hear those words." Raven said
"Probably the same amount of time as me." Naruto said and she smiled
"Yeah. My ring is back." Raven said looking at her finger
"So did mine." Naruto said
"So what's next?" Raven asked and Naruto let out a sigh
"Well, we still need to have that date we talked about. Then I need to get ready for the war." Naruto said
"We've got plenty of time before the war starts. Let's just focus on our relationship for now." Raven said
"Should we tell the other?" Naruto asked
"No. Let them figure it out on their own." Raven said
"Good. Now that I have my new eye, I need to do something." Naruto said and opened Raven's window then a crow came flying in
"What are you doing?" Raven asked
"Making something just in case." Naruto said and activated his Eternal Mangekyou sharingan.
It was his design in the background with Shisui's four bladed shuriken pattern going around his pupil. Naruto made eye contact with the crow and the pattern of Shisui's Mangekyou sharingan appeared in its eye before it went up in smoke. (link for eternal mangekyou sharingan is on my profile in the bio)
"Well, I don't know about you, but I'm going shower. I've probably started to stink up your bed since I've been out of it for a few days." Naruto said
"You didn't. I gave you a sponge bath three times a day." Raven said with a blush
"You didn't have to do that." Naruto said
"I know, but I was just testing out this whole marriage thing. You know, trying to be a good wife and all." Raven said
"Then I guess I'll have to give you some sponge baths in return." Naruto said
"Actually, you can stay in my room tonight and make it up to me." Raven said
"Well, I guess I can do that." Naruto said
After closing the window and placing the seal so no sound could get out and nobody could see through the windows, Raven had the time of her life. She was finally at peace in life and it was all thanks to Naruto. Trigon was gone and she had control over her inner demon now so she had everything she wanted in life. Friends, Trigon was finally dead and Naruto as her husband. The only bad part about all of this, was that in a year they would be going to Naruto's dimension to help stop the Fourth Shinobi War.
