The rats of San Perez were formed into a gang of thieves by Pied Piper. A rat with a scarred eye named Benny serves as Pied Piper's second-in-command. The crime rate increased by 5000 percent. While working undercover as a rat for the San Perez Police Department, Beast Boy was surrounded by him and the rest of Rat Gang in the sewers. Beast Boy claimed he wanted to join the gang because he liked crime. Benny was skeptical and thought he was a snitch. Beast Boy insisted he was an every day rat. Benny questioned why he was green. Beast Boy lied he was from Canada. The rats conversed with each other and believed him. Benny told Beast Boy if he wanted in, he had to face Lil' Annie first. Beast Boy was tasked with stealing a pizza slice from Lil' Annie's Pizza. Benny claimed it was the best pizza in the city. If he pulled it off, he was in the gang. Beast Boy soon encountered Lil' Annie, the resident cat. Beast Boy eventually obscured the rats' view from outside by throwing flour around. He transformed into a dog to scare Annie away then turned back into a rat and exited with the slice. They went back into the sewers and feasted.
Benny told Beast Boy he was one of them. Beast Boy asked when he was going to meet the big boss. A tune generated by the boss, Pied Piper, placed the rats and even Beast Boy in a hypnotic trance and they marched to Piper's hideout. They entered the San Perez Museum through the restroom toilets then disabled the security system and took care of the guard then robbed the precious gems exhibit. Beast Boy was accidentally freed from hypnosis from microphone feedback created by Detectives Furst and Young over comms by mistake as they quarreled about telling Commissioner Wolfman or not about what they were doing. Beast Boy turned into his normal form and tackled Piper. Benny was naturally upset to be lied to. Beast Boy apologized and suggested getting pizza after he got out of jail. Benny refused to eat pizza again because he would only taste the betrayal.
The rat gang formed into a giant hand and beat up Beast Boy. Beast Boy tried to punch the mass in vain. He was enveloped but he turned into a Tyrannosaurus Rex and broke the mass up. He turned to normal and dove towards Piped Piper. The rats dove after him. Beast Boy emerged from the rats with his flute and used it to make the rats grab him. They were all arrested except Benny. He observed from the roof of the museum and vowed it wasn't over. Pied Piper, Mister Toad, Elephant Man, and Killer Moth broke out of prison to get revenge on Beast Boy. In the rematch, Beast Boy once again turned into a Tyrannosaurus Rex and broke up the mass of the Rat Gang then stomped Piper's flute to pieces.
