Chapter 3:Chaotic Kidnappings
Excerpt from the Jump City Times
Last night a body was found off Fourth Street. The man seemed to have burned to death. A couple who was walking by the alley when man died told this reporter, "We were walking down the street and heard dancing. We saw the man in the alley dancing, which isn't exactly unusual lately, but he called for help. He looked downright scared! Then he started smoking, and before we knew it, he was on fire! It was like spontaneous human combustion or something! I've never seen anything like it." As everyone knows, Jump City has of late been host to a musical of sorts. People, including this reporter, have broken into song for no apparent reason. Detectives are still trying to find out whether the singing has anything to do with spontaneous human combustion, and in the meantime, our city must sit and wait.
While Starfire and Robin were singing, Beast Boy was visiting some ruins. In the center of the ruins was a statue of a girl with a plate that read, "A Teen Titan A True Friend." Beast Boy was holding a bouquet of flowers. He quietly walked toward the statue and kneeled in front of the plate. Very gently, he laid the flowers at the foot of the statue, and softly ran his fingers over the plate. This was his routine. Every week he would exchange old flowers for new ones at Terra's grave. Then he would simply sit for a while, and pray that she would come back. He would hope against hope that the rock would soften and turn back to skin, and she would be with him. Today, though, it was a little different, for music began to play.

Beast Boy: You died about a year ago
But she can make me feel like it isn't so
And why I want to be with her
I think I finally know
I'm scared, ashamed of what I feel
And I can't tell the one I love
I know she couldn't deal
Tell this to the dead girl here
None of this is real
Just great, I don't want to play
'Cause being with her touches me
More than I can say
But I still love the dead girl here
So I've got to stay away
I've got to let you rest in peace
Let you rest in peace
Let you get some sleep
I've got to take my love and bury it in a hole six foot deep
I can lay your body down, but I can't find my sweet relief
I've got to let you rest in peace
She knows she's got a loyal friend
And I'd just love to have this stage
Go ahead and end
Well until it does I'm sure what was
Will never ever mend
You can never rest in peace
You need to rest in peace
You need to get some sleep
I need to take my love and bury it in a hole six foot deep
I can lay your body down, but I can't find my sweet relief
You can never rest in peace
I know I should go
But I stay by you like a man possessed
There's a traitor here beneath my breast
And it hurts me more than you've ever guessed
Oh, my heart can beat, and it breaks my chest
But I am sure she's unimpressed
I'll leave you be
And let you rest in peace
Let you get some sleep
I'll just take my love and bury it in a hole six foot deep
I'll just lay your body down, but I won't find my sweet relief
I'll let you rest in peace
I will just let you rest in peace
Cyborg was still on his date with Jinx. They were walking around town, just enjoying each other's company. They walked to the park and sat on a bench. A slight breeze blew through the park, cooling the couple. The scene was completely perfect.
"Hey, Jinx," Cyborg said. "I have something for you." Jinx looked at Cyborg eagerly. "I remembered that you like gold so-"
"It's gold!" Jinx said positively glowing.
Cyborg smiled and pulled from a compartment a beautiful gold necklace. A deep red stone was held in a gold diamond-shaped piece. It was strung on a gold chain.
Jinx looked positively thrilled. "Oh, Cyborg, it's beautiful."
"Here," he said, "let me put it on you." Before Cyborg could put the necklace on Jinx, however, his arm began beeping. "Sorry, hold on."
Cyborg pressed a button and a screen appeared on his arm. It was Robin. "Cyborg, you need to come back to the tower. I think we have a lead."
Cyborg sighed. "Sorry," Cyborg said. He stood and kissed Jinx gently. "I have to go." Jinx looked sad, but nodded. "I'll meet you later," he said before rushing off.
After Cyborg left, Jinx returned to the place she shared with her teammates. Jinx stood before her bedroom mirror and examined the necklace. She then put it on. All of the sudden, Jinx her footsteps coming to her room. As she turned around she saw some odd looking men. Actually they looked more like puppets than men, and they were coming toward her. "Who are you?" she asked slightly scared. Jinx prepared to blast them with magic, but before she could, they rushed her and pushed a cloth to her face. Jinx sank into unconsciousness.
When Jinx awoke she was in an old warehouse. Slowly she stood. She noticed the puppet men guarding the door, and decided to take her chance. Jinx ran to the door and blasted the puppets with her magic. They were thrown back, but only briefly. They quickly stood and blocked her exit. Jinx blasted them with more magic but they ducked and dodged the pink energy. One came toward her and, with one hand, threw her across the room. Jinx landed hard, aching all over. Then, music began to play, and she could hear someone tap dancing. Jinx turned to see a creature even odder than the puppets. The "man" wore a bright blue suit. His shirt and tie were both blue as well. His skin and eyes were red. One of his eyes was normal in shape while the other was slightly deformed. All of this was topped off with a red goatee.

Demon: Why did you run away?
Don't you like my style?
Why don't you come and play
I guarantee a great big smile
I come from the imagination
And I'm here strictly by your invocation
So what do you say?
Why don't we dance awhile?
I'm the hottest fling
I'm the twist and shout
When you gotta sing
When you gotta let it out
You call me and I come a-running
I turn the music on, I bring the fun in
Now we're partyin'
That's what it's all about
'Cause I know what you feel, girl
I know just what you feel, girl
All these melodies they go on too long
Then that energy starts to come on
Way too strong
All those hearts lay open at my feet
Plus some customers just died combustin'
That's the penalty when life is but a song
You brought me down into this town
So when we blow this scene
Back we will go to my kingdom below
And you will be my queen
'Cause I know what you feel, girl
Jinx: Oh you mean you and me, would it be very legal
Demon: I'll marry you, girl
Jinx: What do you mean, I'm sixteen so this queen thing's illegal
Demon: I can bring whole cities to ruin
And still have time to get a soft shoe in
Jinx: Well that's great, but I'm late and I'd hate to delay him
Demon: Something's cooking, I'm at the griddle
I bought Nero his very first fiddle
Jinx: He'll get pissed if I'm missed, see my boyfriend's a Titan
The music suddenly stopped and the demon turned to look at her. "A Titan?"
"Yeah," Jinx said meekly.
The demon smiled maniacally, and then turned to his puppet-like minions. "Find them," he said. "Tell them everything. I want to see the Titans burn."
Jinx's eyes grew wide. What had she done?
Demon: Now we're partyin'
That's what it's all about!
