A figure stands atop it, and a couple of Titans are facing off with him. In close-up, they are seen as Cyborg, Starfire, and Robin, and the vehicle is an armored car whose back doors have been broken open. Gold bullion spills out to the pavement. The bearded, helmeted male figure perched on it is clad in a skintight black outfit with a light bulb on the chest, and both hands glow very brightly. This is Dr. Light-not to be confused with the character of the same name from the Mega Man game series.)

A figure stands atop it, and a couple of Titans are facing off with him. In close-up, they are seen as Cyborg, Starfire, and Robin, and the vehicle is an armored car whose back doors have been broken open. Gold bullion spills out to the pavement. The bearded, helmeted male figure perched on it is clad in a skintight black outfit with a light bulb on the chest, and both hands glow very brightly. This is Dr. Light-not to be confused with the character of the same name from the Mega Man game series.) Dr. Light: Your pathetic skills can't outshine the brilliance of Dr. Light! (He brings his hands together; the Titans scatter as a broad beam shoots toward them. Robin leaps high and flings a birdarang at the supervillain, who jumps down to avoid both it and the thrower's lunge.) Dr. Light: You're fast, but I doubt you'll enjoy moving at the speed of light! (He touches the bulb on his chest, causing it to glow and emit a wide-angle blast that propels Robin over the roof of a nearby building. Beast Boy comes around a corner and charges, turning into a wolf as he runs. The robber easily ducks this rush.) Dr. Light: A wolf is no threat when it's blind as a bat! (He throws several glowing globes at the green lupine hero. They explode in a series of brilliant flashes and leave him so dazzled that he reverts to human form and claps both hands to his head woozily. The next one in is Starfire, who flies overhead and throws a barrage of starbolts; Dr. Light creates a radiant shield around himself to block them. He drops it after she stops firing, then throws a landmine-like device into the street. Its top opens to emit a wall of radiation that envelops Starfire and blocks her in.) (Back to Dr. Light.) Cyborg: (from o.c.) Watch yourself, lightweight. (Pan to him by the armored car. He has half of one axle in hand, tire and all, and he moves in for a swing.) Cyborg: Things are about to get heavy! (He swings the axle down over his head, missing the enemy but creating enough of a tremor upon impact to throw him back a few feet. Dr. Light concentrates his energy in one hand and projects an intense beam that breaks the makeshift club in half. Laughing, he creates a red projectile and directs it at Cyborg; it explodes in a terrific flash and storm of dust. The view clears to show that the Titan is now embedded in stone, with only his head and hands free.) Cyborg: Uh! Hey! Let me... (Dr. Light approaches.) Dr. Light: Now if nobody minds, I'll be taking the gold. Raven: (from o.c.) I mind. (Cut to her in midair.) Azarath Metrion Zin- (Before she can finish the incantation, a beam connects squarely with her and sends her to the street. He walks up behind her as she starts to get up. The brooch on her cloak now shows a raven's head in its gold frame, and it will continue do so throughout this episode.) Dr. Light: Bit of advice. (warming up) Find shorter magic words. (She gets herself ready again; pan to a motorcycle at the curb. It is levitated and slung at the light-wielding enemy, who easily blows it apart. He nails her with another blast and drives her down the block again. Now he takes his time walking up; she has her back to him.) Raven: (menacingly) Don't come any closer. (He stops.) Dr. Light: What's the matter? Afraid of the light? (Cut to behind her on the end of this line. Snarling with pure rage, she swirls to her feet. Her eyes are glowing red rather than the usual white when she uses her powers. Pull back; she grows to an impossible height, at least three times as tall as Dr. Light, and thick black tendrils shoot toward him from under her cloak. He cries out in shock.) Dr. Light: (fearfully, backing up) No! No! (He is seized and pulled in; sparks fly from him.) My suit! What are you-no, stop, you win, I surrender! (Too late. He is dragged toward the billowing blue hem as Raven smiles viciously down at him. When she speaks, the voice sounds as if some demonic thing is saying the words along with her.) Raven: What's the matter? Afraid of the dark? Dr. Light: I surrender! NOOOOOO!! (He is pulled in; Robin rushes over.) Robin: RAVEN!! STOP!! (Raven's eyes return to normal in a snap. She gasps sharply and shrinks back to normal size; her cloak recedes to reveal the beaten enemy, curled up in a fetal position on the pavement and shivering in wide-eyed fear. Robin and Starfire, out of her trap, run to comfort him.) Robin: It's okay. You're going to be all right. Dr. Light: It was...no...so dark...make it stop...make it stop... (Beast Boy and Cyborg, free of the pavement, approach Raven.) Beast Boy: Dude! Raven, what did you do? (When she turns to face him, her eyes have again gone red and she is snarling as before. He backs up behind Cyborg with a scream; she quickly composes herself and stalks away.) Beast Boy: What's her deal? (She enters a dark alley and is soon lost to sight. Fade to black.)
