The Teen Titans find out that the end of the world has come, and Raven decides to make it their best day ever.

Synopsis Edit

The episode begins with Slade and Trigon having a conversation. Trigon tells Slade to bring Raven and he will get his promise. Slade accepts, thinking it's a beautiful day for the end of the world. The scene suddenly switches to Raven in her room, just as the sun comes up. She wakes up and finds Trigon's symbol burning on her arms. She screams "No!", realizing that today is the day she will fulfill her destiny to become the portal for Trigon to enter the Earth, therefore causing an end to the life of all it's inhabitants. Raven goes out to the rooftop and watches the sunrise. As she watches Robin comes up, and they have a moment. She decides to be extra nice to her teammates and try to make their last day the best ever. She makes pancakes for breakfast, though she isn't a good cook, but Robin quietly told Cyborg and Beast Boy to be nice about it, because he could tell Raven was really trying to be nice. Starfire said the pancakes reminded her of a dish at Tamaran, and Cyborg, Beast Boy, and Robin gave their pancakes to her. The alarm signifies an attack, and they leave.

As they battle Plasmus, Raven stops Robin from hitting a building. He says "Thanks! I owe you one!" and Raven quietly mumbles, "Yeah. Sure." She protects all her teammates during the battle, and ends up defeating Plasmus. Raven later takes the team out for pizza, and Robin mentions that she's being quiet today. She takes them to the park and suggest some activities to do. She states that they have a lot to do until sunset. Suddenly, a solar eclipse happens and blocks the sun. Raven is tossed around by an invisible force, and as her teammates look at her arm, they see the mark of Trigon. She passes out and comes to, scolded by her teammates; 'Why didn't you tell us today's the day?' Her teammates realize that she is destined to become the portal so the earth will be destroyed, and immediately take her to a quarantine room, which they constructed without Raven's knowledge. Raven says over and over that it's hopeless, but her team doesn't listen and they lock her in. Beast Boy gives her a penny for good luck and she says "All the luck in the world couldn't help us now."

Raven meditates and Trigon makes contact with her mind as Slade appears outside the tower, with a group of fire demons. After threatening to hurt Raven's friends, Trigon makes Raven come out of the tower and go with Slade. Her team tries to stop her, but she knocks them out and leaves. While they walk to the place where Raven must summon Trigon, she warns Slade that she knows her father, and that Trigon will not keep whatever promise he made to him. Slade doesn't believe this and says that Raven is merely a pawn in Trigon's plan. Raven then remarks that they have that in common, and once Slade's purpose is done, he will be irrelevant. This angers Slade and he starts to ignite in flames, only to be grabbed by the fire demons. Slade orders them to release him, but they ignore him. Raven then realizes that Slade is already insignificant. Even his own army won't listen to him. The Fire Demons then release him and leave him there on Raven's orders.

The Titans soon recover from the knockout and decide one last time to stop Raven from fulfilling her destiny. Slade then confronts Trigon and demands his repayment. Trigon then refuses, saying the gem has returned on her own free will. Slade then reminds him about the deal. Trigon then just laughs at him. Enraged, Slade starts throwing fireballs at Trigon, which don't harm him at all. Trigon then takes away his powers and Slade seemingly vanishes. The Titans reach Raven and once again try to convince her and saying that no one knows their destiny. She agrees by telling the

m she didn't know she could make such wonderful friends and that she wanted to make their last day perfect only to have them worry about her the entire time. Robin holds her hand and tells her "That's what friends are for." But Raven says "And as my friends you have to let me go". She then traps them to prevent them from stopping her, as they try stop her she proceeds to open the portal. Trigon then emerges from it.

QuotesEdit

• Trigon: 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 shall be mine. Slade: I will make sure that Raven realizes her destiny. And for bringing you this precious gem, I expect you to keep your part of the bargain and return what is precious to me. Trigon: You bring me the gem and you shall get what you deserve. Slade: Deal. It's a beautiful day for the end of the world.
• Cyborg: So far, everything seems normal.
  Beast Boy: Yep. Just your normal last day on earth.
  Robin: It's no one's last day on earth!
• Raven: (becoming the portal) 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!
• Slade: The chamber is prepared for you, everything is ready for Trigon's ascent.

Raven: You're a fool, whatever he promised he won't deliver.

Slade: Dear child, you don't know what you're talking about.

Raven: You think I don't know my own father?

Slade: You are merely the portal, an insignifficant pawn in Trigon's game.

Raven: Then I guess we have that in common, and once he gets what he wants, you'll be insignifcant too.

Slade: (summoning fire on his hands) SHUT YOUR MOUTH!! (then gets grabbed by Trigon's minions) GET OFF ME! DO AS I COMMAND!!!

Raven: (in evil state) Come to think of it Slade, you're already insignificant, even your own army won't listen to you. Leave him. (Trigon's minions unhand Slade and leave with Raven).

• Slade: The portal approaches. The hour is near. It's time for my payment. Trigon: Payment? For what? The gem returns of her own free will. You did not deliver her. I did. Slade: We had a deal. I held up my part of the bargain.Trigon: (laughs evily as Slade attacks him with everything he's got) I granted you these powers and I can take them away! (absorbs the powers out of Slade and makes him disappear)
• Robin: What are you doing up so early?

Raven: I could ask you the same thing.

Robin: I love sunrise. The promise of a new day... Anythings possible

Raven: You always so cheery this early?

Robin: Pretty much. Looks like its going to be a beautiful day.

      Raven: Yeah(looks at Robin and smiles). Hungry?

• Robin: (the Titans learn that it is the day Raven will end the world. They take her back to the tower and walk down a hallway while Cyborg carries her) Ok everyone, just as we planned. Raven: Where are you taking me? Robin: You said there was nothing we can do. We didn't agree. so we've been preparing for this day. (Robin places his hand on the scanner and opens up a room for Raven to hide in) Raven: You did all this for me? Robin: We're ready to take on Trigon! Raven: No, you can't be! Just go! Save yourselves! Robin: 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. Starfire: So all we must do is keep the Trigon from getting to Raven. Raven: You can't. Robin: We will!
• Cyborg: (puts Raven down) 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. Starfire: And these symbols should keep out evrything else. We took them out of your books. Beast Boy: Just in case you need some extra mojo. Raven: This is all great, but it's no gonna make a difference. Today the prophecy will be fulfilled. Trigon is coming. There's no stopping him. Robin: There's never been a villain we couldn't stop before. Raven: Trigon isn't a villain. He is the incarnation of evil. The source of all darkness. The.... Beast Boy: Ok, bad dude. We get it. Raven: No, you don't! You don't know Trigon. Robin: And Trigon doesn't know the Titans. Stay in here. We'll be watching from up there if you need us. (points to the upper room above Raven. The Titans then turn around and leave. Beast Boy pauses for a moment, runs up to Raven and gives her the penny he found earlier) Beast Boy: For luck. (turns and leaves) Raven: All the luck in the world won't help us now.
• Cyborg: (while fighting with the fire demons as he is preventing them from getting in the tower to capture Raven) NO ONE"S GETTING IN HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
• Raven: They can't stop him. Nothing can stop him, but they're willing to risk everything for me. If anyone could stop Trigon, maybe they could. Trigon: You know none of them would fill your head with fanciful ideas. Raven: You aren't here! You can't be! Trigon: (Trigon's shadow creeps up behind Raven) I am always with you. You are part of me forever. Raven: Get out! Trigon: There is no stopping what is about to happen. This is the reason I assiahed you. You were born so I could rule the earth. Raven: What if I don't let you? What if I don't become the portal? Trigon: It is not your place to tell me what to do! (fire encircles around Raven) I am the one with all the power! I am the one who decides your destiny! YOU DO NOT HAVE A CHOICE! (Raven attacks her father but Trigon absorbs her attacks) You will always be daddy's little girl. Raven: I am nothing like you! (the demon eyes form on her face) Ahh!!! (Raven cowers in fear on the floor) Trigon: You wanted to protect your friends. Keep them from knowing. But you cannot deny the evil within you. You will bring destruction to everything and everyone. Like father, like daughter. Raven: No! Trigon: You cannot hide from your destiny!
• Trigon: Your friends cannot stop the inedible. They are doomed. Do you really want their last day to end like this? How can you bear to watch them suffer? Raven: Don't hurt them! Trigon: I'm not the one hurting them, you are. You know what must be done. Raven: But Father, I don't want to! Trigon: You cannot hide from your destiny!
