When yet another crime alert interrupts their relaxation, the Titans decide to become villains and can do whatever they want to rule the world.
Plot[]
Beast Boy, Raven, Robin and Cyborg are in the living room, snuggling with kittens when Starfire walks in with some hot chocolate. She offers some to Cyborg, but he complains that there are no mini marshmallows. Starfire points out that they are indeed there, but they're just very, very tiny. All of a sudden, they get a crime alert from the HIVE, annoying them big time. The HIVE is on a rampage, shooting a death laser at different targets in Jump City. The Titans confront the HIVE for interrupting their "snuggle time", but they refuse to stop, forcing the Titans to fight. Robin, however, tries out the death laser and has lots of fun, and soon all the Titans are using it, making the HIVE think they're insane.
Upon returning home, the Titans talk about how much they enjoyed using the death laser and realize they like being bad. Then the Titans start beating each other up because they like it and decide that they want to become villains. Robin transforms into Dick Gravestone, Starfire reverts to her old alter-ego Starfire the Terrible since her namesake episode of Season 1, Beast Boy turns into the hulking Beast Monster, Raven transforms into the Demon of Azarath, and Cyborg turns into The Cyborg (with emphasis on "The" to make it sound more villainous). Dick Gravestone then decides to name the new team of villains the Legion of Doooom (although they point out there is already one made by the Justice League's archenemy, mostly Superman's, Lex Luthor).
The Legion of Doooom then hires a couple of henchmen to build a secret hideout while they relax. They all give some of their evil schemes during a conference: Raven suggests they rule the world underground through money; Beast Boy suggests mooning everybody; Starfire suggests stealing all of the world's kittens and forcing people to watch as she cuddles them; Cyborg suggests they wrap the earth in an enormous blanket and fart so hard, developing the world's largest Dutch oven, the stink bomb. Their next action on their list of evil schemes is to torture a lot of superheroes: Batman is dealt with a James Bond-type of laser, Batgirl is plunged in a vat of chemicals, and Titans East is entrapped in a room with spiked walls slowly closing in on them from both sides. The evil ex-Titans laugh at their tremendous schemes of darkness.
Next, they get revenge on the HIVE for wasting their time by using the exact death laser to demolish the whole city. The crime alert goes to the HIVE after the incident, and now it's their turn to be furious because they were now snuggling and got interrupted.
They go to the Titans and tell them that they're showing them how their actions have affected them. They know how it feels, but the Titans don't give a care about the world. After all, they didn't turn evil just for revenge and to teach them a lesson, they did it for fun! Subsequently, they cover the earth in a blanket and give it a massive fart of the stink bomb.
Starfire the Terrible does an actual evil maniacal laugh, instead of letting out her evil gargle-like laughter from her previous evil agenda.
