In the dead of night, Boom Box, Birdarang and Lotus came out of the elevator.
"Hiya fellas, anybody home? We just came back from-" The floating weapon stopped talking as there was no one in there, and the lights were out. "Where is everybody?"
"It's quiet. Too quiet." Boom Box said with a Texan cowboy accent. Lotus growled, ready for anything that may attack. Looking around as they entered the living room. The lights turned on, and not just the titans, but even some of the other little buddies popped out of Silkie, Super Robin, Pain Bot, Dave, and Luna.
"Surprise!" They all said, or made noise of in celebration.
"Golly! A surprise party for us?" Birdarang asked, sounding surprised.
"We are celebrating the fact our little buddies have completed their 200th, crime stopped!" Starfire told them. Raven signaled Lotus to come to her, so the demon cat ran and jumped into the smiling girl's arms, purring as she was petted and scratched.
"So the whole gang is here to celebrate? You titans are tops!"
"You guys are all part of the Teen Titan family. And we're just so proud!" Cyborg cried while shedding a tear at that last part.
"You knows it!" Beast Boy added.
"We all appreciate the fact that we've not only created a team that's great at its job, but ones that we can love." Raven told them while snuggling Lotus, enjoying how much love she can express for her little buddy now that she doesn't have to worry about outbursts anymore. Lotus smiled while licking her face.
"Well, I don't know what else to say except...give me a beat!" Birdarang requested. Boom Box turned the music on changing to "Best Day in the World" by Authors of America. Cyborg and Pain Bot were raising the roof together, Beast Boy and Raven danced together with Dave and Lotus howling together in encouragement, and Starfire were watching the two Robins do a martial art choreography style dance with chops, kicks and flips.
"You both are quite the dancers, Robins." The Tamaranean giggled watching the two 'birds' break a move.
"Well, why don't you join on the fun then." Robin invited as he took her hand and drew her close, causing the alien girl to both gasp and laugh from his advance, her hair whipping around from the movement. Super Robin decided to give the two some room by grappling towards the punch bowl. The only one that wasn't dancing was Jinx, whom was content on letting everyone else have fun as she and Luna bopped to the music.
"May I have this dance?" Cyborg approached her and held out his hand.
"What do you think this is, the prom?" The pink haired witch asked sarcastically, but had a smile.
"Well, no but, I was just wondering is all." The metallic titan became all flustered, worried he was being rejected until she chuckled.
"I'm just kidding Cy. Perhaps one dance won't hurt. I'll be back Luna." Putting her Jinx Cat down, the metahuman went to have fun with her friend. Luna meowed sadly until Pain Bot came close.
"Pain. Pain." It said before producing a laser. Reducing the setting from Exterminate to No Pain, it produced a red dot in which Luna became entranced by, and batted at the light dot, chasing after it while Pain Bot alleviated her pain. "All I know is pain." Silkie meanwhile just slept through the whole thing. That is until the alarm went off.
"Crime alert! We need to check it out!" Robin yelled as he checked the computers. At the Jump City Bank, it was the Brain and Monsieur Mallah the Ape.
"Brain?! For reals?!" Beast Boy cried out. "We needs to stop him now!" Robin whistled and Super Robin flew to his shoulder.
"Brain and Mallah are one of our most dangerous foes, more so than usual. I'll be producing a signal, and you monitor. If the signal fails, that means we've been captured and unable to escape, maybe. Which means you'll have to come and save us. Got that?" The titan leader asked the fighting bird. He saluted in response.
"We could probably use more ice when we get back anyway." Cyborg reasoned as the rest of the titans went to the elevator. "Don't wait up for us. Keep this party going!"
"Roger that!" Birdarang agreed just as the elevator doors closed. The party resumed as planned.
1 fight scene that I don't know how to write for this one later, lmao yolo xoxo ttfn and other acronym stuff.
The surprisingly defeated titans were thrown into a cell by Monsieur Mallah before an energy forcefield appeared, trapping them inside.
"You won't keep us here forever, Brain!"
"I won't have to. Just long enough to do this." Pressing a button, all the titans have been shocked with such intensity, they each fell into unconsciousness one by one, until he stopped. Lowering the forcefield, Brain chuckled in his monotone robotic voice. "Now the fun begins."
Waking up, Robin looked around to see his fainted allies.
"Guys? Guys! Starfire!" The Boy Wonder went to his girlfriend, checking her pulse. The alien princess started to stir from her forced slumber.
"Ro-Robin?" She asked, disoriented.
"Star, I'm glad you're okay." He hugged her close, only to be surprised when Beast Boy yelled,
"Cy, you're just a head bro!"
"Ah, where did it go?!" Cyborg cried out, his body gone with only his little wire body left.
"Brain, that's what I'd wager." Raven groaned.
"Wait, you have a tiny wire body under your metal one?" Jinx asked, only to burst into laughter, only to stop seconds later by disapproving looks. "Ahem, sorry." Raven tried to open a portal for them to escape, but nothing. She tried again, but still nothing.
"Why aren't my powers working?" The sorceress asked, looking down at her hands. Starfire tried blasting the walls, but no energy came from her hands or eyes either.
"Mine too?"
"Ugh, I'm trying to turn into an animal, but..." The changeling was somehow unable to change his form, straining until he farted. "Oops."
"Ew! Gross, Booger Brain!" Jinx complained as she tried to Jinx the room but failed. "I'm powerless too!"
"And my gadgets are gone." Robin looked to see his belt and shoes were taken.
"Ah, titans. Awake so soon?" Brain asked as he approached the captured teenage heroes.
"What did you do to my body?! And the rest of us?!" Cyborg demanded.
"I drained your powers from your very DNA itself. And as for you Cyborg, your body has made for a very nice foundation for my plans. Ha Ha Ha Ha." While The Brain was laughing with no inflection yet still sounding evil, Beast Boy thought of something, even if he was powerless.
"Yo Brian, when we gonna eats, huh? I'm hungry!"
"Brian? Who's Brian?" The villain brain in a jar asked.
"You, you're Brian."
"No, my name is the Brain. The a is before the i."
"What is this, reading school? I guess I would expect such nerdy simple thinking from a jarred up villain beaten by the Teen Titans and Doom Patrol." The green teen trashed talked, though Jinx looked worrisome.
"I don't think it's wise to mock someone who's got you imprisoned while powerless."
"Your pink haired friend is correct. If you continue to test my patience, I will resort to shocking you again. Like this." Pressing the button again, the titans screamed as the power was much lower, causing them to spasm and roll around in pain, but didn't faint this time. It stopped after 10 seconds leaving badly burnt titans. "Ha Ha. Actually, I hope you keep it up. It would bring me great amusement to shock you like disobedient pets." Turning and rolling away, Starfire asked her boyfriend leader,
"What are we going to do Robin?"
"It's up to them now. I just hope they're not too late.
While the little buddies were partying, Super Robin's communicator started buzzing. Checking it, he went and opened up the console, reading that their signal is being blocked. They've been captured. Tracing it, their last known signal was near the warehouse docks. Using a grappling line, Super Robin brought over Birdarang.
"What's crack-a-lacking, yo?" The floating weapon asked. Pointing to the distress call, and then to outside. "The titans have been captured and we need to go out and rescue them? I'm down. Who else is in?" Every other little buddy chimed in except for Silkie, who threw up on the couch. "Aside from Silkie, everybody! Let's bring it down!" The little buddies then equipped themselves with their A game, whether that be music, armaments, or just getting pumped. Soon, the seven buddies made their way to the Brain's location. A portal opened where Lotus was the first to come out, along with the others. Seeing two guards at the entrance, Super Robin pointed to Luna and then pointed to them. The Jinx Cat then walked towards the building, where the guards spotted the black cat.
"Aww, it's a cute little kitty! So cute!"
"I know right? I had a cat just like that one when I was a little kid! Aw come here you." As the second guard went to reach for Luna, she hissed and pounced at his face, scratching and biting at the mask. "Ah! Get it off!"
"Don't worry, I got-" Both of them were knocked out when Super Robin karate chopped the left guard in the throat, and the right when Lotus jumped into his head and put him to sleep. With them out of commission, they then entered the warehouse, which looked deceptively empty. Sensing something, Lotus, Luna and Dave pushed the others out of the way of a roaring gorilla as he slammed his fists down into the floor, cracking it. Slinging an all purpose energy rifle, he started shooting energy nets at the little buddies, managing to snag Birdarang and Boom Box while the others hid away.
"Well this is a party foul." The weapon said. As Monsieur Mallah tried looking for the rest, Super Robin was with Dave and Lotus. Pointing at their eyes towards his, he feathered out a plan while he would act as a distraction. Once the message was sent, the fighting bird flew and chirped at the gorilla. While he drew fire towards him, Dave moved from his hiding place and pounced. Noticing the wolf coming towards him, Monsieur Mallah tried shooting at the canine, but Lotus opened a portal which Dave dived into, avoiding the blaster fire. During that moment of looking at the hole, he failed to detect Super Robin coming in landing a kick to his face. While it wasn't strong enough to hurt, the force was enough for him to take a step back, only for Dave to come back via portal and trip the gorilla up. As he fell back onto his back, that's when he was ganged up by the little buddies. Luna bit his ear, Pain Bot dropped an anvil onto his chest, Dave bit his arm, Super Robin threw a mini-explosive into his face, and finally Lotus cursed the animal to seize up, his muscles contracting so that he couldn't defend himself. Within seconds, he was defeated. "That was off the chain, y'all!" Birdarang praised while they were being freed as the net ceased to be, due to being energy. "Now let's find the others." Once they managed to find the secret entrance behind a large crate, they were able to find the titans, and Brain.
"Guys, I knew you'd find us!" Cyborg called out to them.
"Hiya fellas. We've come with a rescue party!" Birdarang declared.
"A fool's errand." Brain remarked as the brain in a jar was taken out by robot hands from the ceiling, and placed into a much larger robot body, which was Cyborg's corrupted and perverted body after some alterations to shape, size and coloration. Four vials in the color of lime green, purple and two pinks of both light and dark shading were inserted into his back, deep enough in that they didn't stick out and could be easily broken. "Fueled by their superpowers, behold project B.R.A.I.N! Brains' Robotic Indestructible Armor Nexus!"
"That's project Brian dude!" Beast Boy called out.
"No, BRAIN! B R I-" As he spelled out the projects' name, he then realized the error and slapped the face of his metallic form. "Kilowatts, how could I have made that mistake!" Shouting in a monotone voice conveying rage, he charged at the little buddies, making them scatter. Dave pressed a button on his collar, which covered his whole body in armor as well. Pouncing at the villain, he was caught in Brain's stolen body. Sending some of Jinx's powers into the armor, causing it to fall apart. Dave still tried to bite at him, but Brain was able to throw him away. Pain Bot produced and unleashed a barrage of missiles at Brain, but he was able to create a portal which sucked them all up, and then another to spit them back out at the small robot, damaging it some. Super Robin got in close and tried battering a miniature staff against the glass protecting his actual brain, but armored villain shocked him off. "Foolish bird, the glass protecting my brain can withstand .50 caliber rifle bullets!" Attempting to stomp on Super Robin, Birdarang swooped his fallen avian bird away. Boom Box dropped down on him and tried to give the villain a headache by playing "Black Back" by AceyDuecey at full volume. "AHHHHH!" He screamed in pain as he instinctively tried to cover what would normally be ears there, but couldn't as he could literally feel the shouting, guitar rifts and drum pounding rhythm pulse against the glass and liquid surrounding his brain. Needing to regain his bearings, a black energy raven burst from Brain's back, pushing the musical box away, only to get blasted even further by a sonic cannon attack.
"NO!" Birdarang cried out as Boom Box fell onto its back, beating out a line from a Christian drama.
"Wait...something...is off. It wasn't...supposed to go like this. What's...happeni-" The audio cut dead, as Boom Box sparked before going silent.
"Don't go bro! Don't go bro!" Birdarang cried for his silent best friend, whom all the others bowed their head in sorrow, except for one.
"You shall share his fate, and I'll finish you all off." Brain threatened with a sonic cannon, but Birdarang was having none of it.
"Let's dance Brian!" Transforming, the living weapon went from being a floating curved T to a fully combat abled form with hands and feet. Flying away, he fired small lasers at Brain, whom defended himself with another soul-self raven, before sending it at the powered up weapon. From his one red eye, he fired a laser that cut through the raven. Brain's optics glowed green as he used Starfire's eye attacks, which he was able to dodge and run from until he hid behind a support beam. Looking around, he didn't see anything until a robotic snake coiled around his body, taking Birdarang by surprise.
"Now I shall crush you!" Brain stated to the trapped buddy, before a flying buzz saw cut through the snake appendage. "You don't get it, do you? I have the powers of five titans in one body. How can you possibly hope to win?!"
"With a bit of help from my friends. Now!" Birdarang yelled out. Looking around, Luna and Lotus stood behind him at a distance. Lotus then jumped into Luna, merging with the Jinx Cat. Luna growled as her yellow eyes became red as she grew larger, her paws turning into claws, and her tail growing a stinger. Combined, they were now Lunotus, the Jinx Demon. Rivaling Brain in his stolen body that was originally Cyborg's in size, Lunotus roared that sounded like a combination of a kitty's growl and a full grown puma roar. Forming another soul-self, he tried to attack Lunotus, but the Jinx Demon roared with enough power to not only power to dispel the raven, but also shake the room itself as one of the I-beams above gave way, landing on top of the armored villain. Lunotus tried to pounce, but gripping onto the I-beam, Brain was able to swat her away with a painful swing, but she was able to swiftly recover, landed on a support pillar, and lunged at him before he was ready to defend again. Landing and pushing the evil brain down, she scratched at his armor like it was made of tissue, and plunged her face in so as to rip out his circuits, disabling Brains' means of moving and attacking.
"NOOOO!" He cried out while Lunotus stabbed her tail into the glass of his head. She didn't completely pierce through, but a web of cracks was visible while she yanked him out, and flicked him away into a corner. Pain Bot short circuited the cage containing the titans, and they were able to escape.
"Thanks Pain Bot! You all saved us!" Cyborg praised them all. Lunotus grew small as the two cats split apart, and jumped into their respectable owners hands, whom snuggled them close feeling so proud.
"The little buddies have saved the day!" Starfire cheered joyously.
"Yes, but at a cost." Robin bemoaned as he walked to the down and out Boom Box, whom Birdarang stooped over in mourning. "Super Robin." The Titan leader called to. The fighting bird limped towards him. "Help the others regain their powers. Brain took their abilities rendering us powerless, but there should be a way to reverse it. I'll fix up Boom Box." Super Robin nodded as he used a grappling hook to zip away. After the titans, except Cyborg, got their powers back, they went back to the tower where the Boy Wonder and a new re-bodied Cyborg worked on the little buddy, fixing it the best they could. Birdarang was right outside the garage door, waiting for the news while the other titans and little buddies waited. After an hour, nothing has changed, and it seemed like it was a lost cause, until R&B music started playing with a chorus of women singing on the other side. Everybody started becoming hopeful when the doors opened with fog and lasers coming out, Robin and Cyborg stepping out, and finally the new and improved Boom Box in a now round, black and yellow chrome shining body singing a song off the radio,
"Ain't no stopping us now! We're on the move!"
"Boom Box, you're alive!" Birdarang shouted as he hugged his best friend.
"Not only is Boom Box good as new, he's even better than new!" Cyborg told the floating weapon. "I won't bore you with the technical details, but now along with picking up any radio signals, we've implanted a chip in there uploaded with Top 100 songs of every year all the way back to 1955, meaning that Boom Box can play up to 46,000 songs!"
"That's bananas! Let's party!" Birdarang cheered as they headed up to the living room, starting things off with "Star Counting" from "Republic of One."
A/N: Hmm, not much change, but it still feels more smoother and cooler, so I guess it's a success. Eris, since as of this time I published this chapter and you haven't made a review yet on Nature and Knowledge, which I'm being patient about, no rush, my next ideas on episodes 62 and 68. I don't know I mean, the Scary Terry thing seems a bit silly, especially since it's Cyborg and I don't want it to be too similar to the original episode Fear Itself, but just the idea of the titans having a slumber party is funny, especially with what Raven can do with her ability to express herself freely. As for Vegetables, I'm heads or tails on whether to do it or not at all. I have a feeling about it, but I'm not sure what to fix about it aside from Vegator at the end. He's a bit much to take all that seriously. It feels like something the original show would do on their funnier non-story arc episodes, but I don't know. Let me know in a different review when you give your ideas on Nature and Knowledge first. Thanks for reading.
