The #TeenTitans disbanded two years ago. Now, after receiving an emergency signal, they reunite.
It's a trap set by Dr. Light. He effortlessly captures the Titans.
Mal, left behind, appropriates an exoskeleton and the Guardian's costume, becoming the new Guardian.
Mal frees the Titans, and together they defeat Dr. Light.
