Teen Titans/Season 2

Teen Titans Season 2 (2004).

Episodes 14–26

How Long is Forever? [2.01]

[In the future, Starfire attempts to talk to a detached future version of Raven, who has her back turned.]

Starfire: Raven? Raven, it is Starfire, your friend.

Future Raven: [Back turned] No such thing.

Starfire: Please, Raven, I...

Future Raven: Just another figment, don't even look.

Starfire: You must listen, I am here because...

Future Raven: Never coming back! Go away! [She drifts to another part of the room] It has to go away. Just like before, just like all the others...

Starfire: Your mind. Without friends, you must have-

[As she reaches out to touch Raven, Raven forms a telekinetic Raven to act as a barrier. Starfire, defeated, closes her eyes and reluctantly leaves]

[During the fight with Warp, a blast from Cyborg's cannon hits warp; Nightwing and Starfire look over]

Future Cyborg: Boo-yah.

Starfire: Cyborg! You are repaired!

Nightwing: Glad you could make it.

Future Cyborg: Wouldn't have missed it. Now, who said y'all could start without me?

Warp: So sorry. Perhaps I should finish you first!

[Beast Boy appears in lion form, charging at Warp. He swipes at Warp and joins the other Titans. Warp begins to charge up his gun and black telekinetic energy envelopes him and he gets flung across the room, hitting the wall. The other Titans look in shock and look over to the corner - a black energy Raven appears from the ground, rises up and turns into Raven.]

Future Raven: Nobody hurts my friends.

[She flies over and joins the other Titans. Beast Boy transforms back to human form and notices Nightwing's hair]

Future Beast Boy: Dude... that is so unfair.

Robin: So... "Nightwing", huh?

Every Dog Has His Day [2.02]

Beast Boy: Dude! I'm going to try to beat the world record of most tofu eaten in one hour. Wanna be my official witnesses?

Beast Boy: Dude, for the last time, I am not your dog!

Soto: Bad dog. Soto will punish.

Terra [2.03]

Terra: What? Haven't you guys ever seen a superhero before?

[the Titans stand, dumbfounded]

Robin: I'm Robin, we're the-

Terra: Teen Titans! [fist-bumps him] Rock on! It's cool to meet you guys! I'm Terra, and you're: Cyborg, Raven, Starfire, and-

Beast Boy: [panicking] Boy Beast! I- I mean, Bath Food! Eh, no!

Terra: Beast Boy? [Beast Boy squeals and transforms into a turtle, hiding in his shell. Terra laughs] Dude, he's hilarious!

Beast Boy: Hilarious? Me? Really? [Terra winks at him, and he swoons, hearts for eyes, before collapsing]

Starfire: [swooping over to Terra] Curiosity abounds! Please, where do you come from, how did you get here, what is your favorite color, and do you wish to be my friend?

Terra: [a little intimidated] Um, Earth, walked, red and, sure.

Starfire: Hello new friend! [pulls Terra into a bone-crushing hug]

Terra: [strained] How's it going? [Starfire releases her, and she fixes her arms]

Beast Boy: So... what brings such a cool little chickie to our big groovy city, huh?

Terra: I go where the wind takes me, y'know? I get to see new places, meet new people, stomp a few bad guys here and there.

Beast Boy: Cool! [chuckles]

Starfire: Fascinating!

Cyborg: Well all right!

Robin: You mean, you don't have a home?

Terra: The Earth is my home! I've been crashing in a cave on the other side of the hill-

Starfire: Unacceptable! I cannot permit my new friend to slumber in a lonely cave of darkness!

Terra: I have a flashlight.

Starfire: [dragging Terra by the arm] You will stay with us!

Terra: Really, I-I'm-

Cyborg: [joining them] C'mon, we've got plenty of room.

Beast Boy: Yeah! And I can make you laugh some more. I'm hilarious, remember?

Terra: Heh, well, I guess I could stay one night.

Beast Boy and Cyborg: Yeah!

Starfire: Oh, glorious! [the four of them make their way back to the tower]

[Robin remains crouched on the cliff edge, Raven standing nearby]

Raven: Everything okay?

Robin: Not sure. Something just doesn't feel right. [Slade disappears into the cave. Robin and Raven leave, the cliff crumbling behind them]

Slade: Now, Terra… you walked right into a trap. You of all people should know better. But at least you and I are finally getting a chance to talk.

Terra: Back off! I'm with the Titans! They'll be coming to-

Slade: You don't belong with the Titans.

Terra: You don't know anything about me!

[He shows her missing hair clip that she lost during the intro of the episode and her face goes in shock when seeing it.]

Slade: On the contrary, Terra. I know everything about you. I've been watching you for some time. I know why you're always running away. I know your secret, little girl.

Terra: No!

[She rushes at him, but he grabs her wrist and pushes her back to the wall.]

Slade: Earthquakes. Avalanches. Mudslides. Everywhere you go, you try to do good. [He releases his hold] And everywhere you fail. [Leans to her] So everyone turns against you. You lack control, Terra. [he puts hair clip back on her] And when you lose control, you are more dangerous than anything I've ever seen.

[She looks up at him puzzled as he turns away.]

Slade: But it doesn't have to be this way. I can help you, child.

Terra: You can?

Slade: [He bends over and picks it up a small stone.] Right now, you are…rough around the edges. You need more than obstacle courses to overcome your problem. [He squeezes the stone and it starts to crumble.] You need a teacher. A mentor. Come with me, Terra, and I can teach you to shine.

[He opens his fist, revealing a diamond in his palm that had been hidden inside the rock.]

Terra: But…my friends told me you're…

Slade: You don't really believe they're your friends, do you, Terra?

Terra: They took me in. Gave me a home.

Slade: And when they find out what's wrong with you, they'll reject you, like everyone else.

Terra: Beast Boy-

Slade: -Can't keep his mouth shut forever. He'll tell them.

Terra: [As this stroke a nerve] He promised. [The tunnel starts to shake.]

Slade: He lied.

[Torrents of dirt and stones flies everywhere as she vents her rage.]

Terra: Shut up! Just shut up and leave me alone! [Gasps in shock and drops to her knees] Don't lose control… don't lose control!

Slade: Now, Terra… how can you lose something you never had?

Slade: No one else understands you, Terra. No one else can help you. I'll be waiting.

Slade: Run all you like, because no matter where you go… every step brings you closer to me.

Only Human [2.04]

Robin: Cyborg! What happened back there?

Cyborg: Get off my back.

Robin: I'm on your side, remember? I was just trying to get you to kick it up a notch.

Cyborg: I don't have another notch! I'm not like you, okay? When I say I can't, I can't!

[Keeps walking then stops.]

Cyborg: [sighs] When I was an athlete, when I was human, I loved pushing my limits. Getting stronger, faster, better, just by trying harder than I ever had before. My coaches would always tell me to give a hundred and ten percent. And I always did.

Robin: You still can.

Cyborg: My muscles are mechanical now. Limits are built in. No matter how hard I try, a hundred percent is all I've got.

Robin: I didn't know.

Cyborg: Well, now you do.

Cyborg: Yo, Goldilocks! [Cracks his neck] Let's do this!

Atlas: I didn't think you would come… humans scare easily.

Cyborg: I'm only half human!

Atlas: And half of nothing is still nothing. Mechanic! [Spike removes both panels from his forearms.] I want a fair fight, human, so I shall willingly forgo my arsenal.

Cyborg: Say, Tool Boy! While you're at it why don't you shut off his big fat mouth?

Atlas: No one defeats Atlas.

Cyborg: Fine. You win. Now let my friends go.

Atlas: No.

Spike: But, boss… you said that…

Atlas: Your friends will remain as my trophies, and there is nothing you can do about it.

[Starfire gasps.]

Beast Boy: Cyborg!

Raven: Please!

Robin: Get up, Cyborg! Get up and fight! You can still beat him!

[Cyborg looks toward his friends for a moment and then turns his face away.]

Cyborg: No. I can't.

Atlas: Fool! Did you actually believe you could defeat Atlas? I am all robot… and you are only human.

Raven: [To a tried out Beast Boy after too many failed escape temps.] Give it a rest. You're starting to repeat yourself.

Starfire: But we must discover a way out. [She tries kicks it, but gets her foot sore.] Ow…ow…ow…

Spike: There is no way out. Now be quiet, humans! Master's trying to relax.

Starfire: [icily] I am not human.

Robin: [To Spike] But you are. You should be on our side.

Spike: I'm on the winning side. Atlas is the greatest. No one can defeat him. No one!

Robin: If Atlas is so great, why does he treat you like a loser?

Atlas: Mechanic! Oil!

Spike: Coming right up, boss!

Cyborg: How could I? They were counting on me and...I just couldn't do it. Atlas was right. [He stops to face his reflection.] I am a loser.

[His image speaks to him in a strong voice.]

Cyborg Reflection: So that's it, man? You're just gonna give up?

Cyborg: What else can I do? I gave everything I had. A hundred percent.

Cyborg Reflection: Give more. Your friends are in trouble. You have to go back. You have to win!

Cyborg: I can't win. Atlas is stronger. Atlas is faster. He's just a better robot.

Cyborg Reflection: But you aren't all robot. Half of you is human, and that's the half that can beat him!

[Cyborg wonders if that might work. Then looks at his forearm panel; showing 50% power overall and the same on the bar for each side of his body.]

Cyborg: Time to take it up a notch.

Robin: He doesn't respect you. He doesn't even like you. Why do you serve him?

Spike: I have no choice. Atlas is stronger than me.

Robin: No, he isn't. Atlas needs you. You're the one who fixes him. You're his strength. Without you, he's nothing… and he knows it. That's why he pushes you around. Atlas is afraid of you.

Robin: You wanted a fair fight? That's what you're going to get!

Atlas: Five against one? This is a fair fight?

Raven: Oh, we're not fighting.

Beast Boy: Think of us as referees.

Cyborg: It's just you and me.

Atlas: You have reached your limit. You cannot win. [Cyborg is now on one knee.]

Cyborg: Yes…I…CAN!

[The panel cracks as the readout quickly notches up to 130%. Atlas is surprise, and Cyborg regains his footing. Screams, lifts him over his head and throws him into the abandoned trophies, while everyone cheers wildly for him.]

Atlas: No more. I am defeated. You…are a better robot.

Cyborg: No. I'm a better person.

Beast Boy: And the winner by technological knockout, the Mechanical Maniac, the Bionic Bruiser, the one, the only, [Lifts his arm up.] Cyborg!

Starfire: [After hugging him.] I shall express my gratitude with a Tamaranean folk song.

[Remembering how the first one sounded, the boys are scared. Raven puts a hand covering Starfire's mouth.]

Raven: Way to go, champ. [Beast Boy sighs of relieved.]

Robin: [Pointing at Cyborg's forearm] Guess we better get you a new one of those.

Cyborg: Don't need it anymore. My body may have its limitations, but if I put my mind to it, there's no limit to what I can do. After all, I'm only human.

Fear Itself [2.05]

[After the movie, the Titans are still jaw-dropped horrified]

Beast Boy: [Sticks head up from behind couch] Is it over?

Starfire: [Eyes closed, hiding face in Robin's cape] I dare not open my eyes to find out!

Cyborg: Now I'm really sick to my stomach.

Robin: I've fought psychotic villains, robot commandos, and giant oozing monsters, but that is the scariest thing I have ever seen.

[The four pause and look at each other, and then burst into laughter]

Beast Boy: Did I tell you or did I tell you!?

Starfire: Thrilling Beast Boy! It was wonderfully horrible!

Cyborg: Yeah when she went into the basement!

Robin: And it was right behind her and she turned and-

Cyborg: I was FREAKING OUT! I wanted to turn it off...

Beast Boy: Sooooo come on Raven, admit it, you were totally scared!

Raven: I don't do fear.

Raven: Who screamed?

Robin: Sounded like something from the movie. Did we leave the TV on?

Starfire: We did not. And the movie is right here.

[The lights go out]

Cyborg: Okay. That's creepy.

Robin: The storm. Probably just tripped a circuit breaker.

[A green tentacle comes to rest on Robin's shoulder and Cyborg and Starfire shriek]

Robin: Okay Beast Boy, you got us. [brushes the tentacle off] Good one.

[Beast Boy pops up next to the others]

Beast Boy: Uhhh, dude?

[Robin turns around to find the terrifying monster from Wicked Scary attacking]

Date with Destiny [2.06]

[Kitten and Robin are dancing. Kitten leans in close]

Kitten: From now on Robbie-Poo this will always be our song.

Robin: [Pulls out communicator, whispers] Please tell me you guys have found Killer Moth!

Cyborg: Not yet. But we tracked down your girlfriend's home address.

[Music from the prom transmits over the communicator]

Robin: [Hisses] She's not my-

Beast Boy: Aah! [Bumps into a table that turns into a staircase leading to a basement]

Raven: Well, that's not suspicious.

Kitten: Kiss me.

Robin: Sorry. I don't like you that way. Matter of fact, I just don't like you.

Starfire: [in the background] Yes!

Kitten: What!?

Robin: Killer Moth's being taken down as we speak. We're done here.

Kitten: No we are not. Daddy's not calling the shots tonight Robbie-Poo. I am!

Robin: Daddy?

Kitten: And unless you want me to let those nasty bugs out for a late night snack, you better pucker up!

[Kitten makes a kissy face and various smooching noises]

Robin: Not even if you paid me.

Kitten: Nobody dumps Kitten! NOBODY! You're going to pay for this, Robbie-Poo! YOU'RE GOING TO....PAY!

Transformation [2.07]

Fairy: You are experiencing the Transformation, a perfectly normal part of the Tamaranian life-cycle.

Starfire: But I do not understand. When my sister had transformation, she merely turned purple for two days.

Beast Boy: Starfire, hurry up! You've been in there for twenty minutes, and I'm not paper-trained! [Turns into a whining dog]

Beast Boy: Orange flavored bad guy... gross... and yet, strangely refreshing.

Titan Rising [2.08]

Robin: Are you sure you don't wanna play, Raven?

Starfire: Yes! Please! You must Volley the Ball with us!

Cyborg: [Holding up a detached arm] Come on, I'll play with one hand behind my back!

Raven: I can't. I have to meditate.

Beast Boy: [He changes to a gorilla and serves a strong serve and the volleyball flies towards Raven again] Raven! Heads up again! [Raven moves out of the way and ball flies off the roof]

All: OH NO! AAAAAH!

Beast Boy: I'll get it...

[The ball flies back up and hits Beast Boy's right foot. Terra floats into view, standing on a boulder]

Terra: So... which team am I on?

Robin: Not even a scratch! If we can't break the drill, hacking this computer is our only shot at shutting it down.

[Slade appears, engages Robin in a fight]

Raven: Robin!

Terra: Hang on!

Robin: Forget about me! Shut down the drill!

Slade: Good, Robin. Now I have you all to myself.

Terra: Looks like it's just you and me.

Raven: We have to hack in. [Runs towards the computer]

Terra: [Levitating a rock] Why hack when you can smash?

Raven: No! [She stopped the rock halfway between herself and Terra.] We don't know how this thing works. Destroy the controls and we might never be able to stop it.

Terra: Or we might stop it sooner and save our home. [As the two keep at it with the rock] Why can't you just trust me?

Raven: [groaning] 'Cause you don't deserve it! I have to meditate every day to keep my powers under control. And I'm supposed to believe that you can just suddenly control yours? Trust is something you have to earn!

Terra: Well, How do I earn it?!

Raven: You can start by trusting me.

[They stop fighting and unfortunately, a huge rock crushes the computer controlling the worms, which causes the worms' lasers to amplify in power several magnitudes]

Terra: [smiling nervously] Okay. Maybe smashing the computer was a bad idea.

Winner Take All [2.09]

Beast Boy: Aquadude, what's up! Ready to watch me win all those prizes?

Aqualad: No. But after I win, I promise to let you have my autograph. [smiles boastfully]

Robin: You're all honorary Titans. [Gives Titans communicators to everyone, including, absentmindedly, Gizmo]

Gizmo: Cool! [eyes the communicator, fascinated]

Cyborg: [Grabs communicator from Gizmo] Yo, gimme that! You're not a good guy, remember?

Gizmo: Scrum-buffing toe-jamming gunk-eater!

Betrayal [2.10]

Beast Boy: So, what made you change your mind?

Terra: Excuse me?

Beast Boy: About going out with me. It was the pointy ears wasn't it? Ladies love the pointy ears [Terra laughs a bit]

Terra: Actually, it was because... of all the things I could've done tonight, I realized all I wanted to do was spend time with you.

Beast Boy: Lucky for me you didn't have any plans.

Terra: Beast Boy, if you knew something bad about me, would you still be my friend?

Beast Boy: [Now a bit wary] Of course

Terra: I mean if you're really my friend I could tell you anything. And no matter how horrible it was, you'd still like me, right?

Beast Boy: Yes. I promise, Terra. [Moves toward her] No matter what. [As they were about to kiss]

Slade: Hello, Terra. [Terra gasps softly] Remember me?

Beast Boy: [To Terra] I lost my communicator! Gimme yours!

Terra: I don't have it.

Beast Boy: Then we've got to get back to the Tower and…

Terra: Beast Boy, I'm not going back. I can't.

Beast Boy: What? Why can't you?

Slade: [Appears from shadows] Because she's not your friend. She's my apprentice.

[They vanished in the mirrors.]

Beast Boy: Terra? Terra!

Slade: The girl you knew was merely an illusion. A fantasy. In reality, she's been working for me.

Beast Boy: That's a lie! [He rushes over to stars shattering mirrors with one punch.]

Slade: I found her. [Smash] I trained her to control her impressive powers. [Smash] And then I sent her to destroy your little T… [Smash] …from the inside out.

Beast Boy: No! Terra would never-

Slade: Tonight, her orders were to strike. But I guess she took pity on you. Perhaps she wanted to keep you as a pet. However, despite this minor error in judgment, she was kind enough to deactivate the security at Titans Tower. Your friends are being annihilated as we speak.

Beast Boy: Liar!

Terra: Beast Boy…it's the truth.

[Appears out of nowhere.]

Beast Boy: Terra… why?

Slade: Because you could never give her what she needs.

Terra: No! I won't let you hurt my friend!

Slade: Dear child, you don't have any friends.

Terra: [crying] Beast Boy, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I never meant for any of this to happen.

Beast Boy: Then why did you let it?

Terra: I don't know, okay? I don't know. Slade… he helped me, saved me from myself. He said I owed him, but-

Beast Boy: So it was all a game? You were just pretending?

Terra: No. You said you'd be my friend no matter what, remember?

[She tries to touch his shoulder, but he gives her a glare and turns away.]

Beast Boy: Slade was right. You don't have any friends.

[That hit her like a ton of bricks.]

Slade: Apprentice. [She backs up.] Come. We've had a change of plans.

Cyborg: Well… looks like we won.

Starfire: Then why does it not feel like a victory?

Raven: I knew it. I knew it! We never should have trusted her.

Robin: But we did. We all did.

Cyborg: I've regained access to the computer. Security codes and encryption strings have all been reset.

Starfire: And all enemy surveillance technology has been located and destroyed.

Raven: Problem is, Terra gave Slade more than secret codes and hidden cameras. She gave him us. Our flaws, our weaknesses, everything he'd ever need to know.

Robin: It doesn't matter. When Slade makes his next move, we'll be ready.

Cyborg: And Beast Boy?

Starfire: He will be all right?

Robin: He just needs a little time.

[Beast Boy, heartbroken, is curled up on the blankets of Terra's bed, as a large melancholy dog, with the box he gave her next to him, as he softly whimpers.]

Fractured [2.11]

Larry: See, Robin's universe is here, and Larry's is here! But I bend the rules so I can watch Robin beat the bad guys all the time! But when he got hurt, I knew Larry could help! So I decided to pop over. But I goofed, and popped over inside your noggin. Oops.

Larry: Ooh! I bet you want to monitor the case by computer!

Robin: Not really.

Larry: Oh. Then don't you want to patch up your R-cycle?

Robin: No thanks.

Larry: Wanna work out?

Robin: No.

Larry: Clean your utility belt?

Robin: No.

Larry: Alphabetize your crime files? Polish your boomerangs? Iron your cape?

Robin: No. No! NO!

Larry: ...just let me fix your arm. Please? You'll feel all-

Robin: NO!

Starfire: Beast Boy, wonderful! You have recaptured your mouth!

Raven: Yeah, but I think he put it on backwards.

Beast Boy: [speaking backwards] Pleh! !Gniyas m'I tahw dnatsrednu t'nac I! (Help! I can't understand what I'm saying!)

Aftershock

Part 1 [2.12]

Slade: You have had doubts in the past. Made mistakes. But all that is behind you, isn't it?

Terra: Yes.

Slade: You belong to me now, don't you?

Terra: I do.

Slade: From this day forward, will you serve me and me only?

Terra: I will.

Slade: Will you obey my every command?

Terra: I will.

Slade: Will you fight at my side forever? [Gives her a breastplate with his logo on it.]

Terra: I will. [She puts it on]

Slade: And will you destroy the Teen Titans?

Terra: I thought you'd never ask.

Beast Boy: Okay, okay, I got one. Why are ducks so funny? Because they're always "quacking" jokes.

Raven: Pull over. I think I'm gonna be sick

Starfire: Oh, I see. It is humorous because ducks lack the large brain necessary for the telling of jokes. [giggles]

Robin: Actually Starfire, it just wasn't humorous.

Beast Boy: Huh?

Raven: Because Beast Boy lacks the large brain necessary for telling jokes.

Beast Boy: Come on, Raven, you know I'm hilarious. And I'm not gonna give up until I get you to smile. OK, why did the aardvark cross the road?

Raven: [sarcastically] To beat up the idiot telling jokes about him?

[Robin and Cyborg laugh]

Cyborg: The idiot telling jokes... [laughs]

Robin: Now that's funny.

Starfire: [Perplexed] Please, an aardvark is some form of duck?

Beast Boy: [sighs]

[After Terra revealing a new power that she can make rock like creatures, The Titans are surprised]

Raven: That's a new trick.

[Terra is as shocked as they are]

Terra: [softy] Whoa. How did I-?

Slade: [through the earpiece] You didn't. I did. Your new suit is more than a fashion statement, my dear. It is a sophisticated neural interface that gives me direct access to your nervous system. Your power is my power. My strength is your strength. We are connected, Terra; united as master and apprentice! We fight as one! [As both scream when they're smashing the ground]

[Titan Tower; the Titans discuss the aftermath of their battle against Terra]

Cyborg: [groaning angrily] I should've blasted her when I had the chance.

Raven: I should've hit her with everything I've got.

Starfire: Why did I permit her to fool me again?

Robin: Why couldn't we take her down just like any other criminal?

Beast Boy: Because… she's not just another criminal. She's Terra. She was a Titan. She was… our friend.

Raven: Terra was never our friend. She was a liar and a spy, trained by Slade and sent to destroy us. She's evil. Always has been, always will be.

Beast Boy: You don't know what you're talking about, okay, Raven! She's made some serious mistakes but she's not-

Cyborg: Hey man, the girl wrecked my car. Seems pretty evil to me.

Beast Boy: [growls, picks up a table and throws it across the room] This isn't a joke! I knew her better than anyone. I know all the terrible things she's done and I know exactly how messed up she is. But she's not evil! We can't just give up on her.

[Pause]

Robin: Beast Boy, she's working for Slade.

Beast Boy: When you were working for Slade, did we give up on you?

[Long pause, Robin looks at Beast Boy]

Robin: She gets one last chance. ONE. We have to break Slade's grip on her. We have to try to get Terra back.

Starfire: [The alarm goes off] Trouble!

[Icily]

Cyborg: No more chances.

Starfire: No more trust.

Raven: And no more mercy.

Beast Boy: She's just another criminal.

Robin: And we're going to stop her. No matter what it takes.

Part 2 [2.13]

Terra: My name is Terra, and I have done horrible things. I have sworn to serve a dark master. I have obeyed his every command, and committed crimes in his name. I have betrayed and attacked everyone who used to be my friend. One by one, I have destroyed the Teen Titans. And with no one left to stop me… I have brought an entire city to its knees. My name is Terra. I have done horrible things. And I have absolutely no regrets.

Slade: A world without Titans. I was beginning to think I'd never see the day. But at long last, the city is ours, and victory is mine. Fine work, apprentice. You have made me very proud.

Terra: Thanks. It was fun.

Terra: [scared] Beast Boy! Beast Boy! Stop! Aren't you even gonna talk to me?

[He snarls at her as they all are in the mist. They speak icily]

Cyborg: There's nothing left to say.

Starfire: You attempted to annihilate us.

Raven: Did you think we wouldn't take it personally?

Robin: It's over, Terra.

[Terra then flees from the scene and the Titans emerge out of the fog.]

Starfire: [concerned] She seems quite scared.

Raven: Scared isn't the same as sorry.

Robin: I don't care how she feels. Terra's a dangerous criminal, and she has to be stopped.

Beast Boy: She will be. [clenches a fist] I'm going to make sure of it. [Cyborg's forearm panel beeps.]

Cyborg: Got a lock. She's heading east.

Slade: Where do you think you're going, young lady?

Terra: Anywhere! I was getting thrashed, I had to get-

Slade: NO! I will not tolerate failure, apprentice. I will not permit you to run away! You will stay! You will fight! And you will win!

[After Terra escaped the Titans and made it back to Slade's base]

Terra: Slade! I made it! I'm alive. I can't believe they almost beat me.

[Slade then bitch slaps her to the ground]

Slade: That was nothing… compared to what I'm going to do to you.

Beast Boy: Where's Terra?

Cyborg: What's the matter? A robot army and a giant Franken-thingie not enough for you?

Beast Boy: I don't care about them. I want Terra.

Slade: You failed me, apprentice. I ordered you to eliminate the Titans. You did not. I commanded you to fight, and you ran.

Terra: [stands up] You can't treat me like this.

Slade: Can't I? [smacks her again.] Who else would have you, my dear?

[Terra pulls herself up.]

Slade: You've done horrible things. Unforgivable things. Where else could you possibly go?

Terra: Anywhere but here! I'm sick of fighting, and I'm sick of YOU!

[She struggles to take her breastplate off.]

Slade: You'll find that quite impossible. The suit's neural interface has integrated into your nervous system into your skin. It's part of you… and so am I, Terra.

Terra: [gasps] No!

Slade: You chose this life, apprentice. It's too late to change your mind now. Far too late.

Terra: But it's not too late for me to walk out the door.

[She starts walking away]

Slade: I'm afraid it is, my dear. You see… [holds one finger over the other wrist] …you no longer have any control in the matter.

[Slade pushes a button that makes Terra fall on her knees with agonizing pain.]

Slade: You promised to fight at my side forever. And that's a promise I intend to make you keep.

[Beast Boy reaches Slade's hideout and finds Terra crying]

Beast Boy: Terra?

Terra: Destroy me! Quick!

Beast Boy: What?

Terra: C'mon! Isn't that what you came for?

[Terra groans in pain as Slade controls her again]

Slade: My apologies, as usual, my apprentice can't seem to control herself. That's why from now on, I'll be controlling her every move.

[Terra's groaning becomes louder, as electrical currents surround her]

Beast Boy: What have you done to her?!

Slade: Nothing she didn't want me to. Terra came to me seeking control, and that's precisely what I've given her. My control, her body. I think you'll find I make far better use of her powers.

[He forces her to attack Beast Boy]

Slade: That's my good little girl.

Terra: You have to stop me, Beast Boy! Please! I don't want to fight anymore!

Beast Boy: Then don't let Slade control you anymore!

Terra: I have no choice.

Beast Boy: That's a lie! You've always had a choice!

[They continue to fight, until Beast Boy gain the upper hand.]

Beast Boy: It's all been your choice! You chose to work for Slade, chose to betray us, and now you've chosen to give him control! Slade isn't doing this, Terra! You are!

Terra: No!

[Terra flings a bunch of boulders at him until he is finally trapped underneath one.]

Slade: Very good, my dear. [raises his left arm] Now shall we finish him off?

[He makes Terra lift up a boulder and walk towards Beast Boy, in order to make her kill him]

Beast Boy: Terra! No!

Terra: He's too powerful! I can't stop him!

Beast Boy: Yes, you can! It's your power, not his! You can still control it! You can still do the right thing!

Terra: [sadly] It's too late.

Robin: STOP!

[Titans enter the lair and hold her at gunpoint]

Slade: Strike, apprentice! Now!

Robin: Terra! No!

[Terra hesitates]

Raven: It'll be the last thing you ever do!

[Terra's still hesitating]

Slade: I gave you an order! DO IT!

Starfire: Please, Terra, no!

Cyborg: Don't do it! Don't do it!

Robin: Listen to us, Terra.

Cyborg: We're not playing around here.

Raven: Fight it.

Starfire: You're still our friend.

Robin: You don't have to do this.

Starfire: We want to help.

[Everyone is trying to get through to her, then there's silence.]

Beast Boy: It's your life, Terra. Your choice. It's never too late to change.

Terra: I'm sorry, Beast Boy, for everything I've done.

Robin: Terra's power! It's triggered a volcano!

Cyborg: Big enough to take out the whole city! And way too big to stop!

Raven: We have to get out of here!

[As the volcano erupts]

Beast Boy: Terra! Come on! We gotta go!

Terra: I have to stay.

Beast Boy: No!

Terra: I'm the only one who can stop it.

Beast Boy: Please, Terra, you can't! It's too late!

[Terra smiles and moves her hair away from her face]

Terra: It's never too late.

[She hugs him]

Terra: [crying] You were the best friend I ever had.

[Terra uses her power to move the rock where Beast Boy is over to the entrance and he and the other Titans leave. Yellow light forms around Terra and the volcano gets worse; Her hair gets raised up by her power and she yells as she unleashes all her power. Whiteout - her scream echoes]

Beast Boy: Her name was Terra. She was gifted with tremendous power, and cursed with it as well. She was a dangerous enemy… and a good friend. And she was one of the bravest people that I have ever known.

Starfire: I shall miss you, friend.

Raven: We'll be searching for a way to reverse the effect.

Robin: We'll bring her back.

Cyborg: Someday.

Beast Boy: [voice breaking] I'll never forget you, Terra.

[Terra's tomb]: TERRA
