Tamaran is a Class M planet. The Tamaranians are a warrior race that follows many customs and rituals. The planet's fire air is so flammable, it is considered a way to make sure the weak don't survive. For relaxation, Tamaraneans go the Tamaran's Fire Springs. The revolution of Tamaran around its star takes 164.79 Earth years. A version of hide-and-seek exists in Tamaran culture called hide-and-Glukakakakah. Instead of tagging someone, "it," they kiss the person on the lips. Starfire was supposed to be the next ruler of Tamaran but she was betrayed by her own sister Blackfire and exiled. Eager to find out how Starfire's upbringing made her such a sweet person, the Titans visited Tamaran. However, Cyborg mistakingly caused war with the Blood Dominion by shaking one of General Thraxis' tentacles. Starfire rallied a planetary defense but 3/4 of it was destroyed. Starfire managed to broker a truce by marrying Thraxis. Robin wouldn't have any of it and blew Thraxis up. The war was back on. Dishonored, Starfire was escorted to an arena to battle Gridnock and redeem herself. Things didn't look good when Gridnock swallowed her and the other Titans but they emerged victorious. Tamaran was saved. Starfire later visited Tamaran for a celebration that involved dancing. In a possible future, 30 years from the present, Starfire had returned to Tamaran and became queen.
Starfire and her crew reached Tamaran after a long journey. Starfire revealed to the crew that Blackfire was in search of the lost city of Tamaran which held the Fire Crown, a powerful weapon that would allow her to destroy the planet. She further revealed she already had a flawless plan utilizing everyone's unique skills and abilities that would allow them to find and destroy the crown before Blackfire found it. Blackfire's ships surrounded the Ship and ordered them to land at Blackfire's palace. Starfire wished to comply but Platz noticed there was something stuck in the landing gear. Starfire lifted the landing gear access panel and discovered a mangled Robin had stowed away on the landing gear. Starfire worried her plan was in peril. Robin declared he was the wild card. The Ship landed and they were "greeted" by a suspicious Blackfire. She complimented the Ship and asked if it was from the Junk Planet, to Platz's annoyance. Starfire was happy to see Blackfire but Blackfire cut to the chase and stated she knew they were trying to stop her from finding the Fire Crown. She ordered the guards to destroy them.
Starfire assured her they were only going to bake her a Slurp Cake to celebrate when she found the crown. Blackfire was swayed and sentenced them to a lifetime at the palace kitchen. The crew panicked but Starfire assured them everything was going according to plan. She told them a story from her youngling days when she hid in the kitchen and accidentally found the secret entrance to the lost city while hiding from Blackfire behind the kitchen's refrigerator. Starfire tossed the refrigerator and revealed the passage. Robin pointed out the guards would notice they were gone. Starfire anticipated that and had the crew bake decoy cakes that resembled everyone. Robin was ordered to sit in a corner until they were done. Robin noticed there was no decoy cake of him. Starfire told him he would be staying put. Robin interpreted that was her giving him the most important job of making sure their cover wasn't blown. She invited him to believe what he wanted to. The crew went into the passage.
Freak triggered a death trap. Two walls dropped down while the spiked ceiling slowly descended on them. Starfire asked Tooth Fairy to find a cavity in the wall. She donned some goggles and found one. She touched it with her wand and created a hole. The crew escaped through it. Meanwhile, Robin fell in love with the decoy Starfire cake. The next room was flooded. Folding Paper Man folded himself into a working submarine and the crew descended. They discovered the room was flooded because a giant fuzzy purple one-eyed monster was slumbering on top of the drain in the chamber. It awoke and grabbed Folding Paper Man with its tentacles. Freaky Face was fired as a torpedo and knocked out the monster. The attack also dislodged it from the drain. Robin pretended to be married to Starcake and their son Robin Jr., a bun, baked in the oven. Blackfire demanded her cake but only saw a bun and tossed it. She questioned Starfire but realized it was a cake. Robin refused to say anything but caved once she threatened Starcake.
The crew entered a dark room so Starfire lit a cauldron with her Starbolt. It triggered other cauldrons to be lit. In front of them was a Tamaranian Thrum Horn. Those who could successfully make a sound with it would open up the passage to the lost city. Freaky Face was unable to blow it and fell on his back. 50% Chad had eaten half a burrito and farted into the horn. It worked and Starfire's crew proceeded to the lost city in search of the Fire Crown. They walked into the ancient throne room of King Fire and found the Fire Crown but Blackfire and her guards were not far behind. Starfire asked how she found them. Robin apologized and insisted he was just trying to protect his "family." Starfire face palmed. Blackfire threatened them to stand down or Robin would be killed. Starfire asked to spare the baked goods. Blackfire put on the crown and instantly felt the energy running through her and she declared her plan to rule the galaxy. Starfire's strength and Starbolts were no match for the enhanced Blackfire.
Blackfire projected a hand and proceeded to crush Starfire and her team to death. Folding Paper Man bemoaned their lack of a wild card. Starfire reminded Robin he was the wild card and blasted the ceiling. The debris landed on the stone Robin was standing on and launched him into Blackfire's head, knocking the crown off. Blackfire lost her new power and dropped to the floor. The crew tossed Robin up in the air several times in celebration. Starfire used her bare hands to snap the crown in half. Blackfire's reign of terror was over. 50% Chad was impressed they did it without getting a scratch. Robin collapsed. Blackfire was placed in power dampening cuffs and escorted to the Ship. She refused to go back to space jail. Starfire revealed she would be going back with her to Earth on house arrest. Blackfire was horrified by that and opted for space jail. Robin and his family were nearly left behind.
