The plan's an easy one. Raven invited the Three Stooges here. We've set this place up to scare the bejeezus out of them. But that's not all. I brought this camera along to capture the entire thing on video. Insurance to keep those jerkwads off my back. Now, if only I don't wet myself, we'll be cool.There was a knock at the front door…
"Kyle, into place," Raven whispered.
Kyle hides in a closet under the stairs as Raven hurries up the stairs.
Showtime.The door begins to open slowly, by itself.
"ENTER!!" a deep voice shouts.
Wonder how she set that up?"Yo, Rave, your future's here," Ricky announces as he enters.
"Uh... Yo, you notice the door opening by itself?" asks Jerry, tapping Ricky on the shoulder.
"And your future's two moronic friends," Ricky continues annoyed at Jerry.
Boy, are they in for it.As the last of the trio walk all the way in, the door slams behind them.
"That’s it, I'm gone!" Jerry tells as he tries opening the door, but the door won't budge. "What the hell's going on here?"
That's when a vase lifts up off a table and levitates in front of them.
"Uh..." Derek stutters as he & Ricky back into Jerry (who‘s still furiously tugging on the door knob).
“Dude, what the…?” Jerry stops as he turns around. “Yipe!”
The vase smashes against the wall beside them.
"YOU DARE TRESPASS IN MY DOMAIN!!" the deep voice shouts again.
A table sitting next to the door begins to float. From the next room a chair, and a dusty old couch float towards them. The boys stare, speechless in terror.
This is good. They haven't even gotten out of the entry way yet."AAAHHHH!!!!!" Ravens voice screams from above.
And all the furniture falls to the floor.
Raven? This isn't part of the plan.Kyle stumbles in the closet and crashes through the door.
"Rayner?" Derek asks, his terror turning to fury.
Uh-oh. Not good."Well, well, well, lookie what we have here." Ricky approaches and picks Kyle up by his shirt.
"Ricky, what a surprise running into you here." Kyle says nervously awaiting the wedgie that was about to befall him.
"Pound his face, Ricky!" Jerry shouted making Kyle suddenly think that a wedgie would be a welcome surprise.
"Thanks for the support," Kyle says sarcastically.
"What's your game, Rayner? You like getting beat?" Ricky demanded, spitting on Kyle in the process.
"Hey, Rick." Jerry picks up the video camera. "Looks like he was taping this."
Ricky pulls Kyle closer. "Is that so, Rayner?"
But before Kyle can answer, the entire house begins to shake, causing Ricky to let go of Kyle.
That's definitely not apart of the plan. Kyle then hurries up the stairs.
"He's running for it. After him!" Ricky commands as all three boys run after Kyle.
Great. The goon squad are right after me. Some plan. The guys are gonna torment me even more. Kyle jumps up, pulling the string down for the attic stairs. He hurries up the stairs and stops dead in his tracks. The site before him is one of true terror.
Raven, hovering in the hair, with dark energy surging from her. Above her, a black hole… actually more like a glass portal, with a demon's head just on the other side. A demon with two sets of blood red eyes. Kyle stares, frozen with shock.
"K... Kyle... I... I'm sorry." Tears streaming down Raven's face. “I thought I… could... control…”
"Daughter. Apologize not to this mortal. Soon, Trigon shall rule. You, will be my princess of darkness."
As soon as the trio reach the attic, they scream in unison and run for it. Dropping Kyle’s camera in the process.
What's happening here? Raven's in pain. A demon claiming to be her father. Where's Green Lantern when you need him?Kyle remembers back to Alcatraz. Remembers hearing the name Trigon.
Oh, no. This is the guy the Tattooed Man wanted to bring here. Raven's now unwillingly bringing this demon here."K... Kyle... the Ve... Venus Stone..."
It is then that Kyle notices a glowing red stone on the floor directly beneath her. He tries picking it up.
"OW!"
It burns. So hot I can't even touch it."Kyle... just... just go." Raven barely is able to get out the words.
"Sorry, Raven. I'm not leaving you like this."
The portal begins to grow and the glass starts to crack.
"Kyle... I can't keep him back... he'll kill you." Raven pleads.
"I guess I'm just a gluten for punishment."
Okay, can't touch the stone. But I don't need to touch it to smash it. Kyle grabs a nearby metal pipe and starts hammering at the stone.
"NO! Leave the stone alone!" Trigon demands, fire blazing in his four eyes.
"Sorry, Lucifer, no dice," as Kyle hits the stone one last time, smashing it in to pieces. In a flash of red and black, the portal, Trigon, and all of the pieces to the Venus Stone are gone. Kyle catches Raven as she falls from where she was hovering.
"M... my... hero...." Raven passes out.
