The New Teen Titans, Vol. 2

Trigon awakens at full strength, possessing the souls of everyone on Earth except for the Titans and Arella, and has grown to an even larger size, dwarfing the Titans Tower. Wally West launches a hopeless attack on the demon with his super-speed, and the other Titans follow him into battle. With minimal effort, Trigon lifts the former tower into the air, and sends it onto the Titans except Nightwing, who he then dispatches with his staff. Only Lilith and Arella remain, but Lilith senses the Titans are still alive. Starfire had used her star bolts to protect them from the falling tower and now uses them to free them from the rubble. She then locates and revives Nightwing. Despairing, Wally is ready to give up, but the other Titans decide to fight on, even in a seemingly hopeless cause. As they rush to confront their foe, Lilith tries to rouse Arella to action, but fails until Raven’s mother hears Lilith speaking in the voice of the deceased Azar, the former spiritual leader of the Temple Azarath. As the Titans approach, Trigon begins to open a gateway to his ravaged home universe, intending to recreate it by allowing it to absorb the dimension containing Earth. While the Titans fight a delaying action, Arella and Lilith, who is being controlled by Azar, replace Raven’s rings on her body. Raven’s soul-self, now an angelic pure-white entity that is serving as a conduit for the power of Azar, rises from her still form and grows to envelop Trigon, ultimately destroying him. The form of Raven rises from the battle site, and disappears, while the darkness that had covered the world vanishes and the Earth returns to normal.
