Mad Mod

Mad Mod is the fifth episode of Rise of The Teen Titans season 2.

### Plot

At The H.I.V.E base, Brother Blood meets Neil Richards, a British man as Blood hired him to take The Teen Titans down and will give him money to do so. At Titans Tower, The Titans were eating pizza as Aqualad, Jason, and Speedy were on patrol but the tower was filed with knockout gas and got knocked out.

### The First Encounter With Mad Mod

Robin wakes up suddenly to find himself and his fellow Teen Titans captured and imprisoned in chairs which neutralize their powers. Shortly, their captor introduces himself: Mad Mod, a British-accented villain who has become disgruntled about the youthful Titans playing do-gooders and opposing "hardworking villains" such as himself. He has kidnapped them by filling their tower with knockout gas and brought them to his school to teach them to stay out of villain business once and for all. For this purpose, he separates the Titans, dumping each of them in a different classroom fitted with hypnosis screens to brainwash them into submission.

### Escaping From The Mad Mansion

Robin manages to get free from his chair, but finds that getting out of Mad Mod's school is another matter entirely. Filled with optical illusions, robot sentinels and various other tricks, this place turns out to be a regular madhouse in which Mad Mod can appear and vanish as he pleases. Nevertheless, Robin manages to recollect Starfire and even Beast Boy, who has, however, already been affected by the hypnoscreens, they snapped him out of it but they are soon rejoined by Cyborg and Raven, who have managed to free themselves on their own. Based on their experiences, they decide that the only way to escape is to apprehend Mad Mod for good.

### The Final Fight With Mad Mod

As soon as they spot him, the Titans set out after Mod, but as before the villain proves to be very elusive, and whatever way they take, they always end up walking in circles. Finally, Mad Mod confronts them about being 'uncooperative' and declares that they have to undergo the entire brainwashing procedure all over again. The Titans attack him to get his ruby-tipped cane, which appears to be his control device for the entire school, but a number of traps and an army of robot busts move in to stop them, and one by one the Titans are recaptured. Only Robin makes it to Mod, but as he dives at him, he passes straight through the cane - and yet Mad Mod handles it as if it were the real thing!

### Class Has Finished

Realizing that not only the entire school, but also the Mad Mod they've been chasing are not real, Robin decides on a different approach. Jumping through a rent cut into one of the walls by a robot bust, he makes his way behind all the illusion and proceeds to rip up delicate circuitry as he goes, eventually disabling Mod's technical tricks. Finally, he comes to the command room and has no trouble apprehending the real Mad Mod, a bitter old man with no exceptional fighting skills. The Titans emerge triumphant from their captivity, gives them some minor trouble before the end...

### Worst Day Ever

The Titans took Mad Mod to Jump City Prison and return to Titans Tower to finish their pizza but Robin learns that Blood hires Mad Mod to take them out and they will take Blood out soon.
