The dark dungeons of Jump City prison reeked of wet newspaper, which was explained by the paper recycling bin being left open in the rain.
The Titans eerily followed the Penguin, despite the fact that there was more security then you could poke a stick at, they still didn't like being around dangerous criminals, many of whom they had locked up themselves.
In the mess hall, it was a mess. But a crude stage was set up from long tables into another room with red curtains. The guards manned the spotlights and suddenly they noticed in the canteen…
Raven looks on with a sweat drop. "Oh……… I can't say it or else the rating will go up…"
(Music starts from the band, the Jump City Prison Jazz band that is, with Mad Mod as conductor. A very well voiced Elvis impersonator sings the song from his dark prison cell. They come across the most darnest sight they have ever seen… Mumbo and Control Freak… THE BLUES BROTHERS!)
(Mumbo does his little dance like a scarecrow who sat on a porcupine)
A little less conversation, a little more action please
(CtrlF
does the V sign across his shades and shoulder shuffle)
All
this aggravation ain't satisfactioning me
(Kitten leads the saxophones)
A
little more bite and a little less bark
A little less fight and a
little more spark
Close
your mouth and open up your heart and baby satisfy me
Satisfy
me
(Beastboy rubs his eyes to make sure he isn't seeing
things)
"How pleasant…" says Starfire, before she sees the Starfire dart board…
"Pinch me…" says Robin nervously.
"I beg your pardon…"
"Pinch me… slap me, kick me, hit with a starbolt! DO SOMETHING QUICK! I'M HALUCINATING! I JUST KNOW IT!" he yells frantic.
Starfire ponders for a second and sees an opportunity. She pecks a kiss on his cheek and Robin faints.
"I don't think he meant that!" comments Cyborg. "Though it's just as effective I'll admit!"
"Shhh! I'm trying to listen here!" says Beastboy and the others stare at him.
"Another born every minute…" sighs Raven.
Baby
close your eyes and listen to the music (Dr. Light on French
horn)
Drifting through a summer breeze (Dr. Chang doing
the techno stuff)
It's a groovy night and I can show you how
to use it (Rancid is on the drums)
Come along with me and
put your mind at ease (Adonis frowns and does a little
triangle…)
A little less conversation, a little more action please
(Blue's villains slide in and if you've ever seen the Blue's brothers dance… well… that's how they are.)
All
this aggravation ain't satisfactioning me
A little more bite and a
little less bark
A little less fight and a little more spark
Close
your mouth and open up your heart and baby satisfy me
Satisfy me
Come on baby I'm tired of talking
(Brass
section stands up)
Grab your coat and let's start walking
(Spotlights
flash around)
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
(Fang does
guitar while his other limbs work the pitches)
Don't
procrastinate, don't articulate
Girl it's getting late,
gettin' upset waitin' around
(Mumbo and CtrlF do a back flip to centre stage and start grooving like Austin Powers)
A
little less conversation, a little more action please
All
this aggravation ain't satisfactioning me
(Guards
can't help tapping their feet or swaying a bit)
A little
more bite and a little less bark
A little less fight and a little
more spark
Close your mouth and open up your heart and baby
satisfy me
Satisfy me
(Mumbo and CtrlF steal the show with really well rehearsed moves, a little robot, twist, tap dance and even the Flamenco! The didgeridoo sound and they even do an Aborigine style.)
Come on baby I'm tired of talking
(Saxophone
section stands, but is glared down by Kitten)
Grab your coat
and let's start walking
(Disco
ball lowers)
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Don't procrastinate, don't
articulate
Girl it's getting late, gettin' upset waitin'
around
(Killer Moth is revealed as the Elvis impersonator)
(Mumbo and CtrlF and the band start standing and sliding side to side)
A
little less conversation, a little more action please
All
this aggravation ain't satisfactioning me
(Guards
dancing with batons)
A little more bite and a little less
bark
A little less fight and a little more spark
Close your
mouth and open up your heart and baby satisfy me
Satisfy me
(Mod thrashes about with his baton before losing footing and falling on the stand to end the music.)
"So what do you think?" smiles the Penguin behind the one way mirror.
"You have got to be kidding!" says Robin frowning. He elbows Beastboy who is trying to copy the dance moves.
"I just know something really bad is going to happen…" moans Raven.
"And I'm not going to start it!" says Robin. "No way Penguin!"
"Oh well! I tried!" says Oswald, shrugging. "I'll just break the news to them. Go shuffle off!"
"Hey! How do we know you aren't planning a jail break or somethin'?" says Cyborg.
"What? ME? Oh come off it!"
"Come off what?" says Starfire.
"Just go on now, I can handle this by myself! Shoo! Off you go!" and he ushers them out, and then gets barred by Robin.
"Sorry Penguin, we're going to have to keep tabs on you while you're here!" he says resolute.
"As you wish…" he smiles
"PLEASE don't make me do that again!" whines Killer Moth, sweating exhausted as he holds the microphone.
"Oh come on pops! We were just getting warmed up!" says Kitten, still dancing a bit.
"This works wonders on my old limbs!" says Mumbo, twirling his arms. He kept a blue mask on to save face and to look cool. "Much better than those bench press-a-ma-jingles!"
"I don't know guys! I think I could move faster! Does this suit make my butt look big?" says CtrlF. Kitten is about to make a slight remark when they hear clapping…
"Bravo, bravo!" says the Penguin, walking in with the Titans. "Quite a show! Bravo indeed!"
A bugle, farty sound comes from the orchestra.
"Did you have to do that?" says Mod, glaring at the petrified Dr. Light. "I demand utmost respect and authority young sir!"
"S… s… sorry…" he stutters as he hides from Raven.
"What are they going to do? Throw us in ANOTHER prison?" says Chang. "Calm down and put the bugle down man!"
"It wasn't the bugle…" and they all shuffle away a bit.
"Ahem… anyways." continues the Penguin. "I just popped in to see how you fellows were getting along with rehearsals! (Nods and groans and a 'Get lost ya' blimp!') Do you know the little charity performance I arranged for a considerable time off your respective sentences?" he smiles. The villains nod and the Titans frown at the manipulator. "Well! Here's the famous rock group you are going to be performing with! May I present to you; THE TEEN TITAN'S ROCK" and he gestures to the Titans…
After general silence…there is some general uproar and the guards are called in with Uzi's… Dr. Light rolls around in foetal position and the band is locked up in the canteen before they can strangle the Penguin… which doesn't stop the Titans or the dancers from trying to do so themselves…

Things go wrong and he has to put on the suit to evade his pursuers. In the commotion, he is accidentally downloaded with a special program that enables time travel which the power hungry Lucius Sigma needs to conquer all the universe.
