It was a beautiful day in Jump. The sun shined brightly overhead as citizens of the coastal city enjoyed a day at the park. A nice breeze and few clouds in the sky helped create a serene environment. Tossing a Frisbee, throwing a baseball, flying a kite, or just spending the day with loved ones for a picnic, people came to take full advantage of such a pleasant day.

Among the many people enjoying themselves at the park, the resident superhero team decided to spend the day basking in the fresh air and sunlight as well.

"Mmm-mmm!" A familiar metallic Titan inhaled and exhaled deeply as he enjoyed being alive, "Would you look at that; a little sunshine, a little breeze. Only one thing could make this day better." He leaned over a grill and removed the lid, revealing a large rack of freshly grilled ribs on a plate, "Four and a half pounds of baby-back ribs!" He grinned as he lifted the plate and walked over to a park table where Robin and Starfire were seated. "Man, I love picnic food." Cyborg added as he took a seat next to the Boy Wonder and began chowing down his rack of ribs.

"Agreed, Cyborg. This tiny yellow beverage is truly delightful." The Tamaranean blushed as she continued slurping through a straw.

The two males at the table stopped eating, "Uh… Starfire?" Cyborg said as he and Robin stared at her in shock.

"That's mustard." The masked Titan added as he winced at the sight.

"Is there more?" She asked happily as a sight gag showed her nuzzling a large container of mustard against the side of her face. The other two teens at the table just stared at her while Cyborgs' robotic eye twitched upon hearing the aliens' words.

Climbing on the tree next to the grill, a green lemur made its way onto a branch before hanging by its tail and lowering itself towards the grill. Before reaching its objective, the animal transformed, revealing Beast Boy hanging upside down and extending his arms. "Sweet! My tofu dogs are cooked to perfection." He said as he held two buns holding some white substance in place of the usual meat. "Yo Raven, try one!" He said to the dark mage, who was sitting in the shade beneath a nearby tree, "They're loaded with soybean-y goodness!"

The cloaked mage turned to look at him, "I respect that you don't eat meat." She told him, "Please respect that I don't eat fake meat." She narrowed her eyes at the green teen as she finished speaking.

Beast Boy smiled uneasily at the blue-clad teens' response. "Hey Ky, what about you?"

The next thing Raven saw was her brunette teammate hanging upside down in front of her, causing her to flinch in surprise. "Sure, B, I'll eat one." He replied with a grin. The changeling tossed one of the tofu dogs at him before scarfing the other down quickly. Kylar caught it in his mouth and began chewing it.

"I can't believe you can eat that." The mage said as the black-jacketed Titan swallowed the food.

Kylar turned his head to face his teammate, "Eh heh, I guess it's a little weird." He replied with a grin as he rubbed the back of his head.

"All right, y'all. Who wants to play some foo-ball?" Cyborg asked as he ran out into a clear spot of the park, holding up a football.

Robin, Kylar, Starfire, and Beast Boy ran up to join the bionic Titan to partake in the sport. When they formed in a group, they noticed one friend was missing. They turned back to see Raven still sitting in the shade beneath the tree.

She looked up to face them, "I'll be referee." She said in a bored tone.

Cyborg crouched, ready to snap the ball. Kylar was standing next to him while Robin stood behind him. Beast Boy and Starfire were standing opposite the metallic teen and brunette.

"Red! Twenty-three!" Robin shouted, "Hut, hut, hut!" On the last command, the bionic Titan snapped the ball behind him, handing it to the quarterback and took off, passing the orange and green skinned teens.

Starfire flew off after Cyborg to cover him while Kylar kept back, standing in between Beast Boy and the masked leader. "One Gotham City, two Gotham City." The changeling counted off as he prepared to sack the ball handler.

"You can run, you can fly, but you can't catch Cy!" The metallic Titan taunted as he continued running down the field with Starfire flying in hot pursuit behind him.

"Five Gotham City!" Beast Boy shouted before he transformed into a triceratops and charged the Boy Wonder and brunette.

Robin and Kylar screamed in surprise as the dinosaur closed the distance between them. "I got the block!" The aura manipulator told his teammate as he formed his spiritual energy around his arms and legs. Robin kept running backwards while Kylar stood his ground. With a grunt, the aura manipulator grabbed the green dinosaurs' face and pushed, giving resistance to its progression. However, Beast Boys' momentum was enough to push the brunette back, causing his feet to skid across the ground. He was eventually stopped, but only when they were mere inches from the quarterback.

With a grunt, the Boy Wonder leapt over the defender and ran up the length of the triceratops. Jumping at the peak of the dinosaurs' back, Robin spun in the air before throwing the ball down the field.

Turning back to see the ball, Cyborg placed his hands in front of him. However, with each step, the robotic parts of his body that glowed in a nice blue began fading into a pale black. "I got it! I got it! I-" The metallic teen froze in place as his body finally ran out of power, the blue parts of his body now fully black and gray.

When the ball came down, it hit the frozen Titans' head, nudging it a bit before causing his body to fall to the ground. "Cyborg? Cyborg!" Robin cried worriedly as he and the other Titans ran up to their friend to see him close his eye while the light in his robotic eye flickered off.

"Cyborg? Cyborg!" Starfire asked worriedly, trying to snap her friend out of whatever ill will had befallen him.

"What's wrong with him?" Raven asked as Kylar tried flipping the bulky teammate.

"Maybe his systems had a power surge." Kylar offered, finally getting him on his back.

"Is he gonna be okay?" Beast Boy asked worriedly.

The lying Titan slowly began opening his eye as his robot eye flickered with light and the blackened parts of his body glowed in blue again. "Shh." Robin shushed his team, "I think he's coming too. Cyborg, are you all right?"

"Yeah." He groaned as Kylar and Robin helped him off the ground, "Thanks."

"What happened?" The mage asked.

"Something must've gone wrong with my systems." He replied as he clicked on a screen on his forearm that revealed a power bar in the red with the words POWER REMAINING underneath with a countdown of thirty minutes. "Aw man, my power cell's dyin'."

"Dying!?" Starfire cried worriedly, causing the African teen to turn to her.

"It's only a battery. I'm fine. Happens every couple of years." Cyborg reassured the girl. "Just a natural part of bein' unnatural." He shrugged, a hint of sadness in his voice.

"So, what do we do?" Robin asked.

Cyborg reached down and grabbed the football on the ground, "You keep playing. I go home and change batteries." He explained as he handed the ball to the spiky-haired Titan.

"You sure you don't want help?" Beast Boy asked.

"It'll be faster if we come with you." Kylar added as Cyborg walked further and further from the group.

"Just 'cause I can't have fun doesn't mean y'all can't." The rest of the team watched as their robotic teammate walked through the park.

As he made his way down a pathway, Cyborg looked up at the bright blue sky. "Sure was a nice day." He sighed as he hung his head.

"Cyborg!" He heard a child's voice call out to him. He turned around to who called him. "Whoa, Cyborg! It's really you!" A small boy wearing a blue baseball cap, gray pants, baseball shoes, and a long sleeved blue and white shirt with the number thirty on it along with a baseball mitten on his right hand stood behind him, "You're my favorite 'cause look!" He pulled the glove off his hand and revealed to the teen a robotic arm. "You're just like me!"

"Um, yeah. I-I guess I am." The metallic teen said as he looked at the prosthetic limb. A beeping from his right arm caught his attention as he brought it up to look at it. Clicking on it, a screen flashing TITAN ALERT appeared.

"Cool!" The boy exclaimed happily.

"Nice meetin' ya kid. But I got butt to kick." The bionic man said before running off, leaving the young boy in the park.

"COOL!" The young boy exclaimed again.

As he ran through the park, Cyborg glanced at his power supply to see he only had a little over thirteen minutes remaining before shutdown. With a determined look, he pressed on the screen again to hide it before sprinting into the city.

At one of the high end jewelry shops, a balding man struggled in a straight jacket as he hung upside down with a gag across his mouth. Finally tiring from the attempted escape, the old man watched as a blue skinned man with a long nose, white hair, thin white mustache and goatee made his way around the store, picking up any expensive jewelry he saw and tossing it into a sack. The robber wore a domino mask, top hat, and was clad in a tuxedo with white gloves and a flower over his left breast with a red cape hanging from his shoulders.

"Thanks so much." The blue man said as he turned to the hostage, "You've been a wonderful audience." He added as he bowed. "Now watch as the amazing Mumbo vanishes into thin air." He pulled out a magician's wand and swung it around in a circle, "Mumbo Jumbo!" He chanted as he pointed the wand to the ground, causing a small explosion of smoke to form around him. When the smoke cleared, nothing remained, indicating that the blue magician was no longer in the store.

Outside the city, the insane entertainer sprinted into a junkyard. Around his legs, swirls spun at incredible speeds and carried the blue man across the ground before coming to a halt. When the magician stopped, he waved his left hand in the air and in a flash of light, a diamond the size of a pineapple appeared.

"Not bad, for a matinee." He said as he gazed at the gem through a small magnifying glass.

"Shows over, Mumbo." A voice called out to him, causing the magician to gasp in surprise. Mumbo turned to see Robin, Starfire, Raven, Beast Boy, and Kylar standing on a cliff overlooking the junkyard. "Now hand over the jewels before the critics decide to trash your performance." Robin added.

"Now Robin, I'm sure there's a peaceful solution here." The magician known as Mumbo said calmly before throwing his hands forward and summoning two lit bombs in his hands, "But this isn't it!" He laughed as he hurled the explosives at the teenaged superheroes, causing them to scramble in different directions.

With another hysterical laugh, the crazed magician threw the flower on his chest at the Boy Wonder, who leapt onto a mound of junk to dodge an explosion caused by it. Once he landed, a robotic arm reached from over the ledge and grabbed the spiky-haired teen. "Whaaa!" Robin cried as he was pulled down into a trench.

"Who said you could start the party without me?" Cyborg asked with a grin as he placed his teammate on the ground.

"Cyborg? What about your power cell?" Robin asked just before more bombs went off near the two, causing them to duck for cover behind the junk mound.

Mumbo continued his crazed antics by throwing small red bombs at the Titans. Starfire and Raven hid behind cover as the bombs went off. The Tamaranean Titan fired a starbolt while the mage threw some debris at their opponent. However, these attacks proved to be ineffective as Mumbo dodged the projectiles with ease, along with diving out of the way of a flying brunette and a charging green velociraptor, causing them to crash into each other.

"Go home, get fixed. We can handle this without you." The Boy Wonder said to his metallic friend as he watched the magician dance around.

Cyborg shot a glare at the spiky-haired teen, "I won't let you guys fight alone." He returned.

"And I won't let you put yourself in danger."

"I got it covered." The bionic Titan said as he stood up and turned his back to the leader, revealing a quad of car batteries attached to his back, "External battery pack." He said as he transformed his right arm into his sonic cannon. "Teen Titans! GO!" He shouted as he jumped into the air and shot off a beam from his arm.

"Huh?" Mumbo looked over just in time to see the blue and white beam hit him squarely in the chest, "WHAAAAAA!" He cried as the beam carried him across the junkyard and into a large pile of trash. After landing, the magician shook his head to get rid of the grogginess before a purple can of soda landed on his head. He looked to the ground and saw his top hat roll in front of him. He looked forward and saw the robotic member of the Titans charging him. Grabbing his hat and placing it on his head, the blue maniac stood up, "Nothing up my sleeve." He said as a long, multicolored rag flew out of his left sleeve. He grabbed the rag and flicked it towards the teen, "And presto!"

"Huh?" Cyborg watched as the rag wrapped around him, "Yo!" He grunted as the magical piece of cloth tightened around his body, causing him to trip and skid across the ground.

"HI-YAAA!" Robin growled as he leapt at the magician in a high jump kick.

"Need a hand?" Mumbo asked as he reached inside a pipe that stuck out of the mound of junk next to him. The same hand came out of a different pipe higher up the mound and grabbed the masked teens cape as he flew past, keeping him hanging in the air. Mumbo then taunted him with punches outside of different pipes as the brightly dressed teen struggled to get free.

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" Raven chanted as she encompassed three large metal cannisters in her magic and threw them at the long-nosed magician.

Without flinching, Mumbo raised his hands and stopped each piece of garbage with ease before transforming them into a flurry of rose petals that fluttered to the ground.

"You think that's good, watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat!" He said as he removed his hat from his head and pointed it in the mages' direction. "Hocus Pocus!" He chanted as a wave of white stuffed bunnies flew from his hat and dog piled the cloaked girl.

Straightening himself, Mumbo turned and saw a green goat charging him. "Pick a card." He said as he pulled a card out of thin air, "Every card!" He grinned as he flicked an entire deck of cards into both hands from the single card. He then flicked both stacks of cards at the goat, growing in size as both stacks collided with it and forced it back.

A few explosions of purplish-black flames caught the magicians' attention as he turned around and saw Kylar throwing orbs of energy at him. Jumping a few times to avoid the attacks, Mumbo landed next to the brunette and tied his cape around the teen, "Remember kid, you can get snacks during intermission." He said as he pulled the cape away, revealing the brunette now restrained in a straightjacket.

With a flick of his magic wand, Mumbo created a large safe behind the brunette, and pushed the boy inside, "Wha- HEY!" The straightjacketed teen cried in surprise as the door to the safe closed.

"That ought a keep you safe 'til then." Mumbo smirked as he put his wand back inside his cape. "For my next trick, I require a lovely assistant." He explained as he pulled out a large hooked cane from his back. He reached up and plucked Starfire right out of the air, causing her to gasp in surprise as she was placed inside a floating box with only her head and legs sticking out the ends. The blue magician then pulled out an obnoxiously long handsaw and held it over the auburn-haired girl. "It's only fair to warn you: I have no idea what I'm doing." He said as orange-skinned alien struggled to free herself.

"Rrrraaaah!" Cyborg yelled as he tackled Mumbo away from the box, causing the two of them to slide across the ground and dust rising to cover them.

When the dust cleared, one could see the metallic teen had pinned the insane villain to the ground. "I hate fighting dirty." Mumbo coughed, "Shall we clean you up?" He asked as water from the flower on his left breast shot out with such force that it launched Cyborg off him and into the air.

"WHAAAAAA!" The flying Titan cried as he flew through the air and landed softly on trash in a blue dump truck. As he started to get up, he looked over to see the water had damaged his external battery, with sparks flying around them. He heard beeping coming from his arm and looked to see the POWER REMAINING screen counting down with only five seconds left. He stood up in a panic, trying to get out of the dump truck, but froze completely when the timer reached zero. The robotic parts of his body shut off, leaving his robotic eye with no light and his normally blue sections black.

He slowly sunk into the garbage that filtered through the back end of the vehicle and fell into a hole in the ground, disappearing into the darkness below.

"Cyborg? Cyborg!" Robin called out as he ran to the dump truck. The vehicle engine revved, catching the teens attention and he turned to see Mumbo in the drivers seat.

"Exit, stage left." The blue man said as he stepped on the gas pedal and sped away.

Robin watched as the truck made its way out the junkyard and into the city. Raven, Beast Boy, Kylar, and Starfire ran up to join him, having freed themselves of the magicians' tricks. "Titans! He's got Cyborg!" At those words, Starfire, Raven, and Kylar shot into the air in pursuit of the truck while Robin and Beast Boy ran on foot.

Inside the hole that the metallic teen fell through, light shined down to reveal Cyborg lying in a pile of garbage, his left hand raised in the air, indicating his body still frozen in place. In the darkness that surrounded him, red balls of light glowed as his body began moving, as though it were being pulled, before disappearing into the void.

"Online. Charging." A robotic voice stated.

In a flash of light, Cyborg opened his eyes and saw three hanging lights shining over him. "Huh?" The Titan groaned as his sight began to focus. He noticed he was in what looked to be an operations room and was lying on a large inclined table. The room he was in was shrouded in darkness, except for many glowing red orbs piercing the black background.

"You are operational. That is good." He heard another voice say next to him. He looked over and saw what appeared to be a tall man with glowing blue eyes and grayish skin surrounded almost entirely by a long blue cloak that had black shoulder pads and a neck brace with gray trim. The mysterious man also had a black helmet adorned on his head that had a gray circle with two lines coming from the sides in the center of it.

"What's going-"

"Rest friend." The man held up a hand to calm the teen, "Your new power cell is not fully charged."

Cyborg reached up and grabbed one of the overhead lights. He shined it in front of him and saw countless old and rusted robots, the owners of the glowing red eyes, surrounding them in what looked to be an atrium setting. "Who are you?" He asked as he moved the light around the room.

"I am called Fixit." The man replied.

"Whoa." The bionic teen awed as he continued looking around the room before bringing the light in front of him and shined it on the tall man.

"You were broken. I have brought you here to be repaired." He said as he approached the resting Titan.

"Where's here?" Cyborg asked with a bit of worry in his voice.

After having scanned the city fervently, the five other Titans finally located the stolen blue garbage truck. Then again, it wasn't that hard since it crashed into the side of a building and was emitting smoke due to the damage.

"Cyborg is not inside!" Starfire called out to the rest of the group after discovering the vehicle was abandoned.

"And his locator signal is being jammed." Robin added as he pulled out what looked to be a gray cell phone that could locate each team member. He closed the tracking device and put it back in his belt, "This doesn't make sense. Why would Mumbo want to kidnap Cyborg?"

As the Boy Wonder conversed with the rest of his team, Beast Boy walked away from the crashed vehicle. "Guys, over here!" He called out to the others as he crouched and picked up a top hat lying on the ground. "I found something."

"Beast Boy, what are you doing?" Kylar asked as he and the others walked over.

"I wouldn't-" Robin began only to get cut off by a bright flash of light from the hat that released a massive wave of doves that flew out and surrounded the teens.

When the flock dispersed, the young heroes were covered in feathers. "Way to go." Raven deadpanned as she and the rest of her friends tried removing the white feathers from their clothes.

"Charging is complete." A calm voice said as Cyborg pressed the screen on his arm, showing a power bar in the blue with the words FULL POWER 100% underneath. "The new power cell is functioning properly."

The metallic Titan grabbed his right bicep with his left hand and flex a few times, "Yeah. I'm felling better." He stood up and straightened his back, "Lots better." He added with a smile.

"Of course you are. I am Fixit." The cloaked robotic man said as he walked away from the operating table. "Things come to me broken, I make repairs." He walked over to a pile of discarded appliances that fell into the atrium through a trash shoot and picked up a few pieces, "Let me see… Yes… Yes… Hmm…" He mumbled as he began levitating a few mechanical parts above his head. "Pity... Interesting… the damage is too extensive." He analyzed another appliance before it floated away from him, "Perhaps if we can find another processor."

Cyborg looked over to the gray and blue android with a puzzled look on his face, "Well, thanks. For everything." He waved as he started walking out of the atrium.

Fixit dropped the parts he was holding to the ground, turned around and walked towards the newly repaired teen, "You cannot leave."

"I can't?" The confused African teen asked as he turned around to face the repairman.

"You are not repaired. Not fully."

"I'm not?"

"My examination revealed many flaws." Fixit explained. "Serious flaws."

"Serious!?" Cyborg cried worriedly as he looked at his hands, "How serious? What's wrong with me?"

"There is no cause for alarm." The glowing blue-eyed man said in an eerily calm voice, "More repairs are needed. More repairs will be made."

"But… I feel fine." The Titan admitted as he flexed his right arm, "Are you sure I'm-"

"Quite." Fixit interrupted, "Will you remain? It is for the best." He added as he approached Cyborg.

"Well… yeah, I guess. Let me just tell my friends where I am." Cyborg began tapping on his right forearm, trying to pull up his communicator. Behind him, Fixits' eyes began glowing red as a pulse flowed through his helmet. When a screen appeared on the metallic teens arm, nothing but static was there to greet him. "Whoa! Something really is wrong with me."

"Rest now." The other cyborg said as he gestured to the table, "You may contact your friends later. I am sure they are not… too concerned."

The Titan obeyed and placed himself lying on the table, "Maybe they should be." He said with worry as he looked up at Fixit.

Running through the streets of Jump City, the Titans witnessed many strange things occur. On the side of a building, a long stretch of bright pink, purple, yellow, and orange graffiti with yellow polka dots ran from the top of one building and reaching down to the sidewalk. On the street, they witnessed a bus vanish in a puff of smoke and then reappear further down the road. The final event, and perhaps strangest, they saw was a mailbox hop around a corner spitting out white rabbits with every jump while a woman surrounded by three golden rings floated through the air.

"I'll say this much for Mumbo," Beast Boy commented, "He's an easy act to follow." Kylar slapped his right hand against his face at the words that came from his green friends' mouth.

"Oh, I would commit myself to a life of muck shoveling in the filth mines of Kornax if Cyborg could only be returned safely." Starfire pleaded as she brought her hands together.

"He was malfunctioning." Raven added with a sad look in her eyes, "He shouldn't have been helping."

"He always pushes himself too hard." Kylar sighed sadly as he let his shoulders drop, "He needs to learn when to rest."

"I tried to stop him, but… he's Cyborg." Robin replied.

"Mumbo Jumbo!" The five teens heard the voice of the magician chant in the distance. Rushing to find the culprit, the Titans turned the corner to see huge piles of money stacked in front of ATMs, along with Mumbo standing next to them typing away on one of the machines as he laughed hysterically. He quickly stopped laughing and glanced over to see the juvenile youths standing at attention. "Sorry folks," He said with a bow as he removed his hat. The money began flying into the hat as though it were a vacuum. "No time for autographs." He finished before sprinting down the street.

"Titans! Get him!" The Boy Wonder yelled before they all ran after the insane blue man.

Raven flew after the magical villain as he turned into an alleyway. It looked as though luck was on her side as she noticed a brick wall blocking the end of the path. However, color the girl surprised when she saw what happened next. "Open says me!" Mumbo called out. As if on cue, pieces of bricks from the wall disappeared, creating a hole large enough for the magician to run through. As the blue-clad Titan ran after him, she saw the bricks reappeared, filling in the hole and cutting her off from pursuing the masked man.

On the other side of the wall, Mumbo shrieked in surprise with a gaped mouth as he noticed a large green bull standing in front of him. With a snort, the animal reared its head and charged. Not even remotely worried of the idea of getting head-butted by a larger green bull, the blue magician unclipped his cape and hung it in front of him. In a flash, he turned the cape into a brick wall that the bull crashed into, causing it to slump to the ground after the impact.

Stepping out from behind the wall, Mumbo held his hands up and transformed his top hat into a sombrero, "Olé!" He cheered before continuing his run down the alley. Starfire flew up behind him and threw her signature bolts at the villain. The attacks barely missed as he weaved downed the pavement. "Flowers for the lady." The crazed sideshow act pulled a bouquet of flowers from his cape and tossed them behind his head.

"Ahh!" The auburn-haired alien cried as the bundle of plants exploded in front of her, creating a large smokescreen that filled the air and stopped her pursuit.

Mumbo stopped running for a brief moment as he felt the ground tremble beneath him. "Whaaa!" The domino mask wearing man cried as a pillar of purplish-black energy shot out of the ground, holding the piece of pavement Mumbo was on.

When the piece of concrete stopped rising, Mumbo turned around and saw the brown-haired, blue-eyed Titan floating behind him, aura surrounding both arms and legs. "Nowhere to run now."

"Ah-ah," The villain taunted as he wagged his finger in Kylars' face, "You can never stop a good magician from performing." He stepped to the ledge and jumped in a swan dive, "Tootles!"

"Hey!" Kylar yelled after him as he dove to give chase. He was able to fly parallel to the magician, but before he could grab him, Mumbo pulled a cup full of water from his cape and held it in front of him. "Are you crazy?!" The brunette yelled as he pulled back from crashing into the ground. The blue man continued his descent and when he finally reached the ground, he disappeared as his body went inside the cup of water. Kylar landed and picked the glass up from the ground in complete bewilderment. He turned the cup over to pour the water out. But instead of pouring out, the water shot out of the cup with the force of a fire hose that sprayed the brunette and pinned him against a wall. The laughter of the magician echoed through the air as Kylar saw him running further down the alleyway.

Finally, Robin leapt in front of Mumbo as the final member to try and stop him. Pulling out his bo-staff and spinning it like a propeller, the Boy Wonder beckoned for him to try and pass.

With a smile, Mumbo chanted, "Abra Cadabra!" The staff transformed into a cobra in Robins' hands after the words were said.

"Whoa! AH!" The masked teen cried as he released the deadly animal from his grasp, watching it slither away when it hit the ground.

Mumbo continued cackling like a maniac as he made is was up a staircase out of the alleyway while the rest of the Titans followed in hot pursuit.

Far away from the action occurring in the city, Cyborg was analyzing his systems in the darkened underground room while the cloaked man continued searching through a pile of parts. "I don't get it, all my sensors say I'm fine." The metallic teen said as he switched off the screen on his arm.

"Your sensors are incomplete." Fixit said as he turned and approached the teen, "Mine are more precise."

"Guess I'm just getting kinda nervous." The African teen said as he placed himself back down on the operating table. Once he did so, multiple wires from overhead came down and attached themselves into the mechanical parts of his head, his breastplate, and on the gray nubs on his shoulders. "How long am I gonna be down here anyway?"

Fixit stood next to him as a cord similar to those on the younger cyborg connected to his forehead, "Repairs could take some time. Besides, why would you want to leave? Look around you. Look at yourself. You belong with us." He said as he began working on Cyborgs' arm with what looked like a robotic wrench.

"No I don't." The bionic Titan stated evenly. "I mean you've got a nice place here and you've been really cool to me, but I couldn't live down here." He explained, "I don't know how you can."

"What do you mean?" The blue-eyed man asked, the confusion wasn't apparent on his face, but it was in his voice. "The power supply is adequate, replacement parts are easy to find…"

"I need more than that!" Cyborg argued, "What about sunlight? What about fresh air? What about food?"

"I do not require these things." Fixit replied as the cord on his forehead detached itself. "And when repairs are complete, neither will you." He finished as he walked away from the table.

The metallic Titan stood up from the table and pulled off the cords on his body, "You know what? I'm feeling all right now. So, thanks anyway but I'm just gonna go." He began walking towards a door that seemed to lead out of the atrium.

"Stay!" The gray-skinned tall man ordered as his eyes and helmet began glowing red. Cyborg looked around and saw many of the smaller robots that were fixed standing in his path.

He backed up from the smaller machines, but was surprised as more robots from overhead jumped onto his shoulders. "Yo, what are you-" He struggled to break free of pincers that grabbed his arms, "Hey! Let me go!" The smaller machines lined up in front of him and pulled out tongs from the tops of their heads in unison. Together, they released a surge of electricity that traveled up to the much taller cyborg and shocked him, "Gaaah!" The poor teen groaned as the robots bound him in wires and carried him back to the table.

"Repairs are not yet complete." The leader of the robots said, "Your biological components are imperfect, and must be replaced." As he said this, a metal door slid open to reveal mechanical parts in Cyborgs' likeness. Hands, arms, legs, and even a robotic facemask, all hung on a rack in front of him. These were going to replace his remaining human body parts.

Cyborg started at the rack of replacement parts in disbelief. "No…"

"Biological Components: REMOVED. Repairs: COMPLETE." Cyborg heard a robotic voice say.

"Awaken, friend. Awaken and see your new face." He heard another voice say to him as he opened his eyes.

In front of him was a mirror. In it, he could see the reflection of a complete cyborg. The body type was much of the same, but everything that was left of his human body was removed, leaving a complete robot. "Grrrr… RAAAA!" The robot roared in anger as he smashed the mirror. "AAAAAAHHHH!"

"AAAAAHHHH!" The African teen yelled as he woke up on the operating table again, this time bound by a thick steel strap around his body and wires attached to his breastplate. He began breathing heavily as he looked around to see he was still his normal self… or… Well, you know what I mean.

"Do not be afraid." The restrained Titan looked up to see Fixit standing next to him, "You were dreaming. Sleep will not be necessary once repairs are complete." The leader of the robots said in his eerily calm voice as he approached the replacement parts for the teen.

Cyborg began struggling against his binds, "What if I don't wanna be repaired? What if I like me this way?"

"Such thoughts come from your imperfect biological components." Fixit replied as he brought a soldering iron to the mask. "They will be replaced momentarily."

"Not if I can help it." Cyborg muttered with determination as he tried to free himself from the restraints.

High on the rooftops of Jump City, Mumbo leapt from building to building, avoiding getting arrested by the young heroes chasing him. As he made his way, Kylar, Raven, and Starfire flew after him while Beast Boy changed into a kangaroo and jumped through the city, much like the magician was. Robin was running parallel the villain on a higher building, keeping out of his line of sight.

Finally stopping his run, Mumbo turned around and pulled out his magic wand and pointed it to the four youths following him, "Abra Cadabra! Alakazam! Hocus Pocus!" He chanted as bright bolts of white lightning shot from the wand. The Titans weaved through the air, dodging the bolts, "You'll never stop the amazing Mumbo!" He cackled hysterically, "Never! Ne-" Robin swooped in front of him and yanked the wand from his hands. "Huh?" He looked up just in time to see the Boy Wonder snap his black and white stick in two. "AAAAHHHH!" Mumbo cried as countless sacks of money flew out of his pockets. Tears flowed from his eyes as the hat on his head disappeared and his skin color returned to a normal tan color, leaving a normal old man in a white dress shirt, black pants, and overalls kneeling on the ground.

Robin walked over, grabbed the man by his collar, and pulled him up, "No more tricks! Where. Is. Cyborg." He demanded angrily as a sweat drop fell from the bald mans head.

"How should I know?" He replied nervously.

"Where is he!?" Robin repeated.

"You took him from the junk yard." Raven said.

"What have you done with him?" Starfire asked angrily.

"Nothing! Honest!" The defenseless man cried, "When you broke my wand, you broke all my spells. Even if I had done something, it'd be over now." He explained, "Poof! He'd be standing right here!"

The Boy Wonder released his grip and let the old man fall to the ground, "If Cy's not with him…" Beast Boy trailed off.

"Then that means he's at…" Kylar added.

"The junkyard!" The group finished in unison.

"So, do I still have to go to jail?" The old man asked with a smile on his face. The teens all shot him a bored stare in response, "I thought so." He said sadly.

In the underground chamber, beneath the junkyard, Cyborg continued struggling to break the restraints while Fixit continued with the finishing touches on the robotic replacement parts.

"I am ready." The cloaked man said, pulling the soldering iron away from the mask, "We will begin now."

"Perfect timing. Rrrr-AAAH!" The metallic Titan roared as he finally broke the straps and ripped the cords connected to his chest off. In a mad dash, Cyborg sprinted towards an opening, only for the other cyborg to close it before he could escape. "I didn't wanna hafta do this but…" The teen turned his right hand into his sonic cannon and pointed it at the man who repaired him, only for the energy in the weapon to fizzle out before he could fire, "Huh?" He uttered as he brought his arm to his face to examine it.

"Your defensive systems have been disabled for the procedure." The eerie blue-eyed cloaked man said, "They will be reactivated when repairs are complete."

Cyborg growled as he changed his hand back and charged the repairman. Focusing his eyes and causing them to glow red, Fixit brought metal tentacles down that wrapped around the African teens waist and arms. Struggling against the binds, the metallic Titan reached forward and grabbed his captors' cloak before pulling it away.

When he did so, Cyborg revealed something that was probably best left unseen; underneath the cloak were human organs preserved to such an extent that they looked more like cybernetic mechanical parts that gave off an ominous green glow instead of… you know, internal organs. If this man ever was human, he had abandoned that part of himself a long time ago.

Cyborg could do nothing but gasp in shock at the sight. "The biological malfunctions are growing worse. We must begin at once." The tall man said as he pulled his cloak back to hide his interior.

Leaping into the hole in the junkyard, Robin landed in a crouch as he came across the external batteries Cyborg used when he fought in the junkyard. "His battery pack. He must've fallen down here." The spiky-haired Titan said to his friends. Beast Boy was the first to jump in after Robin, then Kylar, then Starfire, and finally Raven floated down. "Star, can you give us some light?"

The Tamaranean teen held up her hand and created a green ball of energy that radiated in the darkness, giving off light for the team as they ventured further underground.

"Cyborg!"

"Cy!"

"Where you at, buddy?"

The Titans called out for their friend as they continued walking, only to receive no response.

Back inside the atrium, Fixit was hard at work welding the mechanical parts to the missing Titans' body. Cyborg could do nothing but groan in pain as he struggled to free himself again from the metal straps that kept him tied to the operating table.

The members of the team continued walking until they heard the whirring of machine parts moving and stopped. Robin gasped as he looked up and saw a giant cycloptic robot that towered over them. More and more smaller robots made their way to the group as though they were drawn to the light like moths to a flame.

"Wow." Beast Boy awed as he looked at the giant machine, "Hehe, uh… any of you guys seen a dude about this tall, with one red eye, and titanium body armor?" The young changeling explained as he changed to look like the person he was describing.

The machines did not respond, instead they inched closer and closer to the group. "I don't think this is the welcoming party." Kylar commented.

"Teen Titans! GO!" The leader yelled. On command, the rest of the team separated and charged the robots. Starfire chucked a few starbolts at some of the robots, causing them to explode when they hit. Robin began punching and kicking a group as he ran through the darkness. Beast Boy growled as he transformed into a gorilla before grabbing one spherical robot and tearing it apart. Kylar formed aura around his legs and slammed his right foot into the ground, causing a shockwave of energy that caused a fissure that a few robots were unfortunate enough to get caught in. Raven formed her magic around her hands as she sliced through the larger robot, cutting it into four pieces before it fell apart and exploded.

Fixit continued working on an unwilling Cyborg as he closed a hatch on the teens' abdomen before walking over to the wall of robotic replacement parts and grabbing the facemask.

Cyborg continued struggling even when the repairman stood over him, "Do not resist. It's for the best." He said as he lowered the facemask.

"No it isn't!" The restrained teen argued; trying everything he could to prevent the loss of his remaining humanity. "If you take out my biological components, you take out the best part of me! The part that makes me who I am!" He explained as the piece of metal finally covered his face.

"Your memories. Your… self… will be preserved." Fixit said as his eyes glowed red, "I will download them into your new brain." A long metal cord extended from the gray circle on the mans' forehead and attached itself to the bionic Titans' head.

"No, you can't do this! Please! You don't understand!" Cyborg pleaded, trying to resist the forceful extraction of his mind. "NOOOOOOO!" In a bright flash, everything that happened earlier that day; the shining sun, the gentle breeze, eating the four and a half pound rack of baby-back ribs, Starfire drinking mustard, playing football, the faces of his friends, meeting the small boy with the robotic arm, everything echoed through his mind and into the cloaked tall mans'.

"Aaaahhhh!" Fixit groaned as the cord retracted into his forehead before stumbling backwards and falling to the ground.

Starfire held up her hands to continue illuminating the Titans' surrounding area. Robin, Kylar, Raven, and Beast Boy all prepared themselves for a continued assault, however they noticed that the red light in the robots' eyes slowly began to fade before completely disappearing as the robots shut down. The Titans simply stared in confusion as their opponents began collapsing to the floor.

Back in the operating room, Cyborg dropped the facemask and dropped to the floor, landing in a crouch as he glanced over to the piece of metal that would have been his new face.

A green-gloved hand reached down and placed itself on the Titans' shoulder, "Cyborg," the metallic teen looked over his shoulder and saw Robin standing behind him, "Are you okay?" The leader asked worriedly.

"Yeah," He responded as he stood up.

"So… beautiful…" The teens heard a voice say from the other side of the atrium. They looked over to see Fixit lift himself off the ground and rest on his knees. "I had forgotten… how beautiful." He said sadly. "The world… through your eyes…"

"Through human eyes." Cyborg added as he walked over to the lowered cloaked man, "The same kind you have." He crouched down to get on the other cyborgs' level.

Fixit held up his right hand and looked at it, "Perhaps I am the one in need of repairs."

Cyborg stood up and extended his left hand to the misunderstood man, "And maybe I'm the guy who can help repair you." Fixit turned around and smiled before taking the African teens' hand and stood up.

Finally above ground, the Titans' enjoyed a picnic in the park just as they did earlier. Even Fixit was there, enjoying his first day in the shining sun in who knows how long. Kylar, Raven, Fixit, and Starfire were sitting on the blanket they had set out on the grass, Beast Boy walked over holding plates of tofu foods, Robin was standing on the grass, next to Starfire, while the orange-skinned girl drank from another bottle of mustard, causing everyone to cringe a bit. Fixit may have isolated himself from humanity for a long time, but even he knew that drinking straight mustard was not something people did.

Away from the rest of the group, Cyborg made his way towards his friends, holding a football in hand, "Cyborg! Hey, Cyborg!" He heard a child's voice call out to him. He turned around to see the blue-capped boy with the robotic arm approach him, accompanied by another boy who had brown hair and wore a forest green collared shirt and blue jeans. "See? He's Cyborg. He's just like me!" The blue-capped boy said excitedly as he held up his robotic arm.

"Whoa, cool!" the other boy awed at the sight.

"I am just like you," The taller African teen smiled, "But it's not your arm that makes us the same," He leaned closer and pointed a finger on the boys' chest, "It's the stuff connected to it." This caused the two boys to smile happily. "Now go deep!" He pointed as he readied the football in his hand to be thrown. On his word, the two boys laughed while they ran. Once they were far enough, Cyborg tossed the ball to the two boys, the one with the prosthetic caught it and cheered happily.

He may have been more machine than human now, but the metallic Titan knew it wasn't all of him, he was what made him who he was, and he was happy he could spend his days with friends who cared about him.

"To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment."

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Author's Notes:

Greetings and salutations oh beautiful people of the Galactic Network. Another chapter finished and hopefully you all enjoyed it for what it's worth.

I want to thank everyone again for all the follows and favorites, it really means a lot to me, and I am just glad that you all think positively of my writing. Or if you're just someone killing time because you have nothing else better to do, thank you anyway because it helps a lot.

Fast Facts: Did you know Mumbo was originally not going to be in this episode? The creators added him in to add some comic relief to an otherwise creepy plot. It would also explain why both Fixit and Mumbo are voiced by none other than Tom Kenny. If you don't know who Tom Kenny is, he voices the titular character of Spongebob Squarepants, and also voices the Ice King/Simon Petrikov in Adventure Time.

He also voices Spyro the Dragon in Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage and Year of the Dragon, as well as other characters from those games.

ENOUGH POINTLESS TRIVIA! Okay, so thank you all again for you time. Remember to write a review if you want to, it helps me try and become a better writer. If you have any questions or suggestions, PM me, I'd love to hear your thoughts. And... I think that's it.

So, until next time, See You Space Cowboys.
