Chapter Five: Mumbo Jumbo

"Titans, GO!" Robin exclaimed.

The five Titans headed out of the tower. Raven flew by herself across the space of water that separated the island and Jump City. Beast Boy transformed into a pterodactyl and carried Cyborg across. Starfire put her arms under Robin's armpits and carried him across. The way to the villain was mostly quick and quiet, with no one usually talking.

They finally got to downtown Jump City where they found Mumbo the Magician in front of the Pizza parlor.

"Well, hello Teen Titans!" Mumbo exclaimed, grinning.

"Dude, how'd you get out of jail?" Beast Boy suddenly asked.

"Got out on good behavior. Plus, those guards absolutely LOVED my tricks!" Mumbo explained, nodding.

"So, I guess you got a new hat, seeing that I took the old one?" Raven asked, remembering how she took his hat right before the police took him to jail.

"Yes, and this time, I've got some new tricks up my sleeve," Mumbo said, putting his hands together. He took them apart and revealed an assortment of different colored mini-balls.

"Oh, how pretty!" Starfire exclaimed. She then covered her mouth, realizing what she had just said. "Woops."

"Well, these are just for show and tell!" Mumbo said, nodding. "Oh, Titans, I'm not here to fight."

"Then why are you here? And why did the police send us information about you wandering around the streets?" Robin asked.

"Well, okay, I lied, I do have a little something up my sleeve that might make you all go crazy," Mumbo admitted, his face innocent looking.

"What? It's not like you're going to put the whole town into your freaky little hat," Cyborg said, shrugging.

"No, that's pointless. You all escaped last time. I have a bigger trick for the whole town this time," Mumbo said. "And this time, no one can escape."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Raven asked.

"Well, I've been wandering around for about...two weeks now. I've been to a few different countries and all around this country. Then, just last week, I wandered to this one place...well, actually, it was another planet," Mumbo explained. "I don't quite remember the name..."

"Azarath?" Raven asked.

"No," Mumbo said.

"Tameran?" Starfire asked.

"No, yet again," Mumbo said. "It was this planet with incredibly magical powers...and the leader and I made an agreement. I'd supply him with some of my apparently powerful magic, and he'd give me something so incredible in return."

"What this "leader" give to you?" Starfire asked.

"A time traveler," Mumbo said. "With the touch of a button, and, of course, the touch of my hand, I can send anyone anywhere in time."

"Even before the dinosaurs?" Beast Boy asked.

"Even before the dinosaurs."

They all gasped. This had once happened before, except last time it was with Warp. They never expected something like that to ever happen again...well...not with Mumbo, anyway...

"Dude, how did you even get to another planet?" Beast Boy asked.

"Yeah, man, no offense, but you're not exactly evil, you know," Cyborg said, confused.

Mumbo shrugged, a wacky grin on his face. "Mumbo's got a few new tricks up his sleeves!" Right then, he threw some balls done and smoke appeared everyone. Within seconds, the smoke was gone, and so was Mumbo.

"You really don't believe all that jumbo, do you?" Beast Boy asked. It was hard to tell whether he was asking just one person or to anyone in particular, but it didn't matter.

"Whatever he's hiding, it's probably fake," Raven said, pulling her hood up. "Just like all the other times..."

"What if it's not?" Robin asked. "Maybe it is real...maybe he's not kidding."

"Maybe he's planning to send us in the future or somethin'," Cyborg muttered sarcastically.

"Well, we have to be watching for any sudden disappearances," Robin explained, now heading back towards the tower. The others soon followed him.

Within minutes they got back to the tower. Like before, none of them were very interactive...until they got to the tower. It was about dinnertime when they got back, and as usual, Beast Boy and Cyborg were arguing over dinner.

"DUDE! We are NOT going to be eating any of that disgusting meat!" Beast Boy cried, shoving his face right in front of Cyborg's.

"Well, 'DUDE', meat will ALWAYS prevail in THIS HOUSEHOLD!" Cyborg exclaimed, shoving a large, cold slab of ham in front of Beast Boy's face.

Beast Boy suddenly turned pale, his eyes fearsome and tearful. "I think I'll be sick now," he muttered before running off.

"Told ya," Cyborg muttered, grabbing all the meat he could and throwing it either onto the stove or in the oven. "You little green freak..."

"So, Cy, what's for dinner?" Robin asked, walking over to the fridge and grabbing an energy drink.

"Man, it's an all-the-meat-you-can-eat buffet tonight!" Cyborg exclaimed, walking around the stove/oven area to make sure everything was just right.

"You know, you should be a lot nicer about his vegetarianism," Raven muttered, walking into the kitchen and preparing her tea.

"Is that even a word?" Cyborg asked, staring at her with bewilderment.

She glared at him. "Yes."

"So, what's with the sudden action of taking Beast Boy's side?" Robin asked, his smile slightly mischievous.

"I'm sick and tired of hearing Cyborg and Beast Boy argue about the same thing day after day," Raven growled, placing a kettle on the stove.

"She's got a point," Robin told Cyborg.

"Well, the little – BB shouldn't be a vegetarian then!" Cyborg defended.

"I don't blame him for being one," Raven muttered.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Cyborg asked.

"He's been, what, every animal?" Robin asked. "Think about it. How would you feel if you...uh..." He couldn't find the words, as he knew he'd jumble them up if he tried to explain them.

"How would you feel if all the sudden, you were a chicken living on some farm, and you were all of the sudden slaughtered and processed and sent to grocery stores around the country and then eaten up by these fat, disgusting people?" Raven asked.

Cyborg started at them with amazement. "Alright then. What do you want me to do?" he asked.

"How about you apologize to him?" Raven asked.

"What if you cooked him some tofu?" Robin asked.

Cyborg sighed in defeat. "Alright then! I will ATTEMPT to cook that nasty stuff, but I swear, if he complains, he ain't getting no apology!"

Robin and Raven nodded. "Fair enough."

About twenty minutes later, Cyborg got done with dinner. He set out five different plates, the silverware, and started placing the food on the table. He made sure not to put anything in the middle because that was where he would set the "specially prepared" tofu out.

"Yo, Titans, get your butts down here for CHOW TIME!" Cyborg exclaimed, watching three of the four other Titans enter the room.

"Uh, where's Beast Boy?" Robin asked.

"YO! BEAST BOY!" Cyborg exclaimed.

"What?" Beast Boy called from a distance.

"Get your little butt down here for dinner!" Cyborg called back.

Within seconds, Beast Boy lazily walked down to the kitchen. His face was slightly sad, slightly angered. "What's for dinner?" he muttered, plopping into the seat next to Raven.

"One big 'ol meat buffet!" Cyborg explained, showing him the meat on the table.

"Oh, I had to come down for this?" Beast Boy muttered.

"No, you had to come down for this..." Cyborg turned around and grabbed the plate of tofu. He then turned back around and placed it right in the middle of the table.

"Dude!" Beast Boy immediately exclaimed before laughing. "Did you cook this?"

"Yep," Cyborg said, sitting. "Now can we eat?"

A/N: Yipee! One more chapter done! LOL...yeah, about Mumbo or whatever...I couldn't really think of any of villains (besides Slade and Brother Blood) who would be "fit for the job"...
