The Brain's Fortress is an imposing high rise located in Jump City. It is populated with an army of Robot Guards, a high tech security system, and evil science experiments. The Titans were once captured by the Brain and had their powers stolen. Eight months later, the Titans' pets realized something was wrong and attempted to infiltrate the Fortress only to be caught by Monsieur Mallah. They managed to rally and defeated Mallah and the Brain. The Titans were kidnapped again except Cyborg. He relied on his favorite song "Night Begins to Shine" to keep the strength to storm the Fortress and free his friends. Robin, Cyborg, and Beast Boy, spurred by chivalry, went to the Fortress to stop the Brain from achieving his latest plan but were easily captured within seconds.
Raven and Starfire recruited Jinx, Ravager, and Terra to help mount a rescue. They infiltrated the building with one of Ravager's devices then Jinx used her bad luck to fry the security system. Ravager took out the Robot Guards then Terra knocked down the giant metal door. However, Terra tipped off the Brain prior in order to get revenge on the Titans. They were trapped in a force field designed to counteract their powers and abilities. Raven admitted she gathered everyone because she wanted to hang out with cool chicks. The girls combined their powers and attacked the field at once, overloading it. They battled the Brain, in a giant robot suit, and took him down. They finally found Robin, Cyborg, and Beast Boy imprisoned in a cell with various versions of themselves. Annoyed with their chivalry, they left them in their prison cell and went to get milkshakes.
Failing to stop the Brain from stealing a generator, they went to the fortress. Beast Boy took out door guard... on a date. Cyborg and Starfire used arts and crafts to trick the guard on monitor duty. Raven used her dance moves to dodge the laser system and turn it off. Beast Boy tried to take the generator, a big part of Brain's plans, out on a date but door guard saw it. She hit the alarm. The Titans rallied themselves and fought all the robots but Kid Flash came and took out Mallah, then Bumblebee and Aqualad destroyed the generator, and Batman destroyed Brain's new robot suit. Robin was really bummed but the others reminded him the Teen Titans were the only ones who sang dumb songs about food and no one else would. Robin cheered up and they all sang about shrimps and prime rib.
The Robot Guards constructed the Brain's latest doomsday device, the Rain-Ray, inside his fortress. One joined two live wires and was electrocuted. Monsieur Mallah took note of it on a clipboard. Brain proclaimed the ray to be his finest creation. The Rain-Ray looked like a giant kiddie water pistol. The Titans burst into the room. He clarified it wasn't a water pistol and was going to use it to flood Jump City. The guards opened fire with their laser guns. Robin dodged the lasers, laughed, and was shot in the face then fell to the floor. The other Titans stopped in their tracks and looked at Robin. The guards shot them, too, until they were fried. Mallah gathered them and put them inside the prison cell. Brain declared they failed for the last time. Cyborg bemoaned the irony. Brain was confused about how the situation was ironic. Beast Boy explained it was because he kicked them when they were down. Brain clarified that was not ironic. Raven added that made it more ironic. The Titans prattled on. Brain stopped himself and continued with his plan. A platform rose from the floor and took him and the ray to the roof of his fortress.
The Titans were horrified upon realizing Robin intended to lecture them about irony. They failed to understand his verbal irony and thought he approved of their escape attempts. Cyborg used his metal chainsaw on the electric bars and was electrocuted. Beast Boy turned into a swordfish and had Starfire poke him into the power box. They were electrocuted and the box exploded. As they all glared at Robin, the electric bars powered down. After the Titans left the prison cell, Robin was busy trying to lecture them about what dramatic irony was, he ignored the others' concern and backed into Mallah, who was eating a banana. Mallah punched him into the floor then continued punching while the others debated about helping or not because he would keep talking about irony if they did. Mallah picked up Robin by the leg and slammed him around. Cyborg proposed to Robin they would save him if he stopped talking about irony. Robin refused because it was his pet peeve that people incorrectly used the word irony. Mallah punched his head from both directions, stomped, and swung.
Suddenly, four wild dogs busted into the fortress and tackled Mallah. Robin dismissed it as a random event, not irony. Cyborg sent his periscope eye through the roof to perform recon on security. Raven opened a wide portal and teleported them near some crates where they hid behind. Robin wouldn't shut up about situational irony and eventually alerted the guards of their position. They powered their guns and fired. Inexplicably, the lasers bounced off Robin's presentation cards and destroyed the guards. Robin presented that as situational irony. A metal arm extended out of Brain's receptacle and pressed a remote. The Rain-Ray powered on and fired water into the city. Instead of destroying the city, the Rain-Ray made things better. A dirty car was cleaned, Ivy Time Flowers' inventory was watered, a kiddie pool was filled up, children had puddles to play in, and a rainbow formed over the fortress. Brain couldn't believe it. The Titans realized it was ironic. Robin was elated they finally used the word correctly. Even Brain was amused and declared he had hope for the world again because they showed him they cared what words meant. He vowed to leave behind his villainous ways. Raven asked who was hungry because she was literally starving. Brain was perturbed, as was Robin, about them using literally wrong. Raven found it ironic.
The Titans and Freakazoid sneaked behind a dumpster near the front entrance to the fortress but it was guarded by two robots. Robin wanted to give the signal by making a caw but Freakazoid wanted it to be "huggbees," because it was really fun to say. Joe Leahy, Freakazoid's announcer, repeated the word from inside the dumpster. Robin told him to stay out of it then leaped, landed, and told them all to stay on track. He had landed between the two guards and was fired upon. The others screamed "Huggbees" and reduced the guards to scrap. Freakazoid punted one of the heads before he stepped inside. Robin warned the fortress was lined with traps but Freakazoid could not resist pushing a button on a control panel. A laser grid cage formed around the Titans and the floor began to slowly recede, revealing a pit of crocodiles. Robin implored him to press the panel to deactivate the trap but Freakazoid got distracted by a call from his friend Sergeant Mike Cosgrove and he left for donuts. Robin asked Leahy to help but he pointed out he was told to stay out of it.
Freakazoid returned and was about to deactivate the trap but Cosgrove called again. This time he told Freakazoid the old woman who told him everything he knew about donuts wore an eyepatch. Freakazoid wanted to know more later and turned off the trap. It wasn't done in time and Robin fell in the pit. After he was almost swallowed, Robin frantically swatted several crocodiles' heads then ran across their open mouths and leaped out of the pit. Freakazoid offered donuts. Robin angrily slapped the box away and told him to stick to the story. The Titans blew a hole in a wall and revealed themselves to the Brain and the Lobe. Freakazoid rose up behind them and zipped over to greet Lobe. Lobe was happy to see him, too. Freakazoid asked him how his family was. Lobe informed him his son just graduated from evil medical school. Robin asked him to stop derailing the story. He apologized and promised it was the last time then zipped his mouth. The villains unveiled their Trans-mongrel-fier and revealed their plan was to turn citizens of Jump City into a dog people army.
Freakazoid thought that was the stupidest plan he ever heard. Raven thought no one would be terrified of an army that likes to sniff butts. Lobe demonstrated how brilliant the plan was by testing the laser on Joe Leahy, Freakazoid's announcer. Everyone except Robin thought Leahy was adorable. Freakazoid rubbed his belly. Robin had enough and told Freakazoid off. When he got to the part where he thought "huggbees" was a dumb word, the Trans-mongrel-fier's computer accepted the password and initiated the self-destruct sequence. Brain was annoyed Lobe chose that word. Lobe admitted he thought it was so much fun to say. The Trans-mongrel-fier exploded. Robin couldn't believe he did it at first. He admitted Freakazoid was right that you didn't have to stick to story if there was comedy. All the Titans and Freakazoid ran around making whoosing sounds after Robin proposed they all go out for donuts. The still mutated Joe Leahy clamped on one of Lobe's legs and dragged him. Lobe yelled at him to get off.
Cyborg and Beast Boy grabbed Brain outside his fortress. Beast Boy held him upside down while Cyborg punched money out of him for taxes. Cyborg did a final kick so powerful it knocked both Brain and Beast Boy away. Raven and Starfire disguised themselves as robot guards using cardboard so they could steal a package left at the entrance to the Brain's fortress. They thought they fooled the two posted guards but they got blown up as they walked away with the package. The package landed unharmed back where it was. The Titans stormed the fortress but were disenchanted with the Brain fighting with another power suit. They put the bare minimum in defeating Brain and listlessly left.
