## Plot

The episode starts in Townsville High School, in the art classroom, as pairs were painting on easels, with Bubbles and Art at their station, as they painted something in their artistic styles, determined to work with their skills, as they moved in tandem, as if they were in synch, while the others marveled at this, having finished their own paintings, as "Alright class." said the art teacher, as the class looked to her, "Everyone ready for me to see what you've created?" she asked, as the other students nodded, "Yes Miss Hopkins." the students said, as Miss Hopkins walked down the classroom, looking around at the paintings the students had painted, finding them quite impressive, until she saw Bubbles and Art's painting, being a wolf on a forest cliff, looking out on the horizon, with a nighttime scene of the full moon, as it howled at the moon, as Miss Hopkins looked at it carefully, curious, "What do you think?" asked Art, as Miss Hopkins stood there, speechless, "Are you okay Miss Hopkins?" Bubbles asked, as their art teacher stared in awe, "This is..." she said, as Art and Bubbles both looked at her in concern, "This is..." she said, as the two teens were curious what she would say, "It's amazing!" exclaimed Miss Hopkins in utter awe, as Bubbles and Art were surprised to hear this, "Really?" they both asked in unison, as Miss Hopkins was smiling, "It's incredible!" she said, "The contrasts of colors, the lighting, the design..." she said, "It's simply marvelous!" she said, as Art and Bubbles hugged each other, "You two are simply marvelous darlings!" she said, as they broke the hug, "Thanks Miss Hopkins." said Bubbles, as Art smiled, "Yeah, thanks Miss Hopkins." he said, as she smiled, "You're quite welcome darlings." she said, as she held the painting in her hands, amazed by the design, "This is simply too breathtaking to stay in an art room like this!" she said, as Art and Bubbles were surprised by this, "This should be shared with the world!" she exclaimed, as the other students looked at the painting, amazed by the design, as they looked in awe, as Miss Hopkins placed the painting in a chamber, as Art and Bubbles held each other's hands, smiling, amazed that their painting could have such an effect on people like this, as the students looked at the painting, "I'll call my friend at the art museum to bring it there Monday morning." she said, Bubbles and Art smiled, "Thanks Miss Hopkins." he said, as she smiled, "For now, we will keep it in this display stand, so that it will be safe and sound." she said, as they all marveled at the painting, as the bell rang, and the class went out, "Don't forget to get your slips signed before Monday!" Miss Hopkins said, as the class walked out, with Bubbles and Art floating out of the room.

As the end of the school day had come, night fell, as the school was empty, with the lights being turned off, as the painting sat in the display case, as a janitor came to polish the display case, as they came to the case, polishing the case with a cloth rag, as they put the rag away, while they walked off, they closed up the school for the night, as the janitor whistled away for the night, when unknown to the janitor, a shadow was lurking around in the night, as it went to the door, using a tail of some sort to pick the lock in the school's door, as it heard a click, seeming to unlocked the door, as it entered the high school, looking around for something, as it searched around the school, looking for something, inspecting some of the things it collected, "No, not special enough for Mandy!" the figure said, as it looked around, throwing the other things away, as it scurried into the art room, searching around for something, as it looked around, its eyes scanning the room for things to find, as it groaned, "Not shiny enough for Mandy!" it said, as it searched for something, stumbling upon the display case, noticing the painting inside, as it smiled a toothy grin, its buck teeth glinting in the night, as it pressed its hands to the case, "Yes...." it said, marveling at the painting, "Shiny painting, make Mandy happy!" it said, as it tried to open the vault, as it gnawed at it, groaning in frustration, as it tried to break it open, as it dialed in a combination on the vault, putting an ear to the vault, listening in on the combination, as it heard a click, it smiled in joy, "Finally, painting is mine, to give to Mandy!" it said, as it grabbed its sack from his back, and in a quick motion, the painting was gone, carried in a sack, as the figure exited the school, with its paw having gotten in some blue paint, as it groaned in annoyance, "Must wash paws for Mandy!" it said, as it walked out, getting its paw into the sink, washing it off of the blue paint, as it grumbled in annoyance, "Must look best for Mandy." it said, as it ran out of the school, running into the night, gone without a trace.

Once morning had come, the sun rose, as the students had been dropped off from the bus, with our heroes flying over the bus, as they landed on the ground, as they entered the school, as the students and the heroes went to their classes, as lunchtime had come, as Blossom and Percy were talking with Buttercup and Snowball, who were chowing down on some sandwiches, "Did you hear that Art and Bubbles made a painting that impressed Miss Hopkins?" Blossom asked, as Buttercup swallowed her mouthful of food, "Yeah." Buttercup said, "So?" she asked, as Blossom groaned, "This is the first painting that they worked together since we were six and they first worked on their painting skills together!" she said, as Snowball groaned, "And why should we care?" he asked, as Percy groaned, "Because their painting is going to be featured in the newest art gallery in Townsville's Museum." he said, as Buttercup groaned, "And yet, one more reason for Art and Bubbles to go on and on about their being the best couple in school." she said, as Percy groaned, as Blossom smiled, "Well, I'm quite proud of Art and Bubbles having such an accomplishment." she said, as Snowball groaned, "Of course you'd say something like that." he said, with a look of annoyance on his face, as Blossom sighed in annoyance, as Percy simply shook his head in his hand, as they started into their lunch, when a scream was heard from the entire school, as everyone covered their ears in pain, as Blossom and the others recognized the sound, "That sounds like it came from the art room!" she said Blossom, as the teens flew off to the art room, entering the room, just to see Art and Bubbles, with Art standing there in shock, and Bubbles with a look of shock and horror on her face, on her knees, as the others floated in, "What happened?" asked Percy, as Bubbles pointed to the vault, where it looked empty, as they looked at the display case, curious, "So what happened exactly?" asked Buttercup in annoyance, as Blossom and Percy looked at her, with a look of annoyance, as Bubbles scowled, floating up to her sister, "OUR PAINTING WAS STOLEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she yelled, as Buttercup's hair was blown out behind her, like she got hit by a giant wind storm, as Snowball laughed at her hairstyle, as Buttercup groaned, as she hurled a fireball at Snowball, while he countered it with a barrier of ice, much to the frustration of Buttercup, as they both had their elements out, ready to go, but Blossom slapped the backs of their heads, "Knock it off you two!" she said, as the two groaned, rubbing the backs of their heads, while Buttercup smoothed her hair back down, as Percy inspected the room, "Who could have done this?" he asked, as Blossom looked around the room, searching for a clue, when she noticed something, as she looked over to the vault, "What is it Blossom?" asked Art, as he floated over to her, as Blossom grimaced from the sight, as she manifested a pink energy glove and picked up the object, looking like an empty crushed can, as she inspected it, "Something was found here last night." she said, as she inspected it for something to notice, as Percy noticed something odd, inspecting a series of tracks on the floor, a strange print in blue paint, as though it had landed in it, leading to the faucet in the classroom, as he thought of something, as his eyes glowed lightning yellow, as his hands glowed purple, as he watched something, as Buttercup waved her hand in front of Percy, "Hey Bloss, think your boyfriend's broken!" she said, as Blossom put the can in the recycling bin, as she floated over to Percy, "What are you doing Percy?" she asked, as Percy kept his concentration, "I'm trying to concentrate and look for who or what could have done this." he said, as he finished this up, as he spread his arms out, as the room became coated in a purple field of energy, as the others were surprised, as the teens saw Percy move his arms a bit, as the scene played out, while the others watched, as a thief came into the art room, looking around, finding the display case, as they opened it up, and took out the painting, as Percy slowed it down, "The prints seemed to be made by some sort of animal." he said in observation, "Or someone." said Art, noting the shape of the being, as Blossom noticed something, "Wait, pause it here!" she said, as Percy paused the projection at the moment, as Blossom inspected the figure, finding the strange features, as she noticed a rat tail, and the figure having buck teeth, like that of an animal, "This being seems to be a humanoid with animal traits." she said, as Snowball groaned, "And who would that be exactly?" he asked, as Blossom inspected the prints, and then the feet of the figure, "Of course it was him." she said, as Bubbles looked to Blossom, "Who took it Blossom?" she asked, wondering where the painting was, "Clearly this was done by someone with a tail and teeth like a rat." Blossom said, as something came to her, "Of course!" she said, "It was Packrat!" she said, as the boys looked confused, "Who's Packrat?" asked Snowball, as Buttercup groaned, "He's just some rat who tries to steal things for a doll or something." she said in annoyance, as Bubbles groaned in annoyance, "Well let's stop him and get the painting back!" she said, as Art nodded, while Blossom shivered a bit, as Percy noticed, floating to her, "Something wrong Blossom?" he asked in concern, as Blossom looked to him, "Just not looking forward to where we have to go." she said, as Percy looked at him quizzically, "Why's that Blossom?" he asked, as Blossom sighed, "You'll see why." she said, as they flew off to find the painting.

In a junkyard, a shadow with yellow eyes was looming over a painting, eager for it, "Yes." the figure said, "Shiny new painting!" it said, "Shiny new painting, for Mandy!" said the figure, as it showed the painting to a doll, with a pink and white outfit, with blonde curls, with a smile sewed on her face, sitting on a shelf, "Yes!" said the creature, "Mandy likes painting gift for Mandy!" said the figure, as the figure was a rat like being, with a green open vest and yellow visor, admiring the painting, with the doll just sitting there on a shelf, having not changed expressions, simply staying there, "Shiny thing, nice for Mandy!" he said, "Mandy like new painting?" he asked, as the doll remained motionless, as the rat creature smiled, "Yes, Mandy likes shiny!" he said, as he hung it up on a homemade display stand for it.

As soon as the gang had arrived at the junkyard, Blossom manifested a pink energy glove, making sure it was secure around herself, as Snowball was curious, "Why's Blossom making a glove like that?" he asked, as Buttercup smirked, "Cause Blossom's afraid of getting dirty." said Buttercup in mock sarcastic tone, "Same with Percy too." Snowball said with a smirk, only for both him and Buttercup to get a zap from Percy, while he manifested a suit of armor around himself, as they both looked at Percy with a look of annoyance on their faces, "Let's just get the painting and stop this Packrat guy!" said Art, with a serious look on his face, as Bubbles nodded in agreement, as they flew into the junkyard, searching for the rat villain.

While Packrat was getting ready to frame the painting, a rumbling was heard outside, as the rat creature went out to investigate, "Who's making all that noise while Packrat is hanging his new painting for Mandy!?!?!?" asked the villain, as he grumbled in annoyance, as he walked over to the door, but was shocked to see six teenagers floating, with Blossom having a smirk on her face, "I think it's time we clean house!" she said, as they flew at Packrat, only for him to pull up the painting, as the gang stopped in mid-charge, on guard, "Stop right there!" the villain said, "One wrong move and this will be destroyed." as Bubbles and Art were concerned, as Percy tried to think of something, as Packrat had a smug look on his face, "No one stops Packrat from taking shiny!" he said, as Art smirked, appearing behind Packrat, as Packrat was shocked, as Art touched Packrat's arm, as the villain suddenly stopped in place, as if frozen in time, as Art grabbed the painting, as he gave it to Percy, "Blossom, Percy, get the painting out of here!" he said, as Percy and Blossom nodded, as they flew off, while Buttercup and Snowball floated with Art and Bubbles, as they were ready to fight, as Pack Rat was unfrozen from his place, as he looked shocked to see the painting, "No!" he cried, "My shiny!!!!" he said, as he scowled to the others, "You take shiny from Mandy!" he said, "You must pay for stealing Packrat's shiny!!!" he said, as Packrat went to go find a switch, as he pulled the switch, and a junkyard pile started rumbling, as the four teens were on guard, as they flew out of the structure, as they saw it rattle and roll, as it started moving around, as Blossom and Percy came back, having hidden the painting somewhere, as they noticed the junk pile coming to life, as it morphed and changed, becoming something strange, as it grew more in size, sprouting arms and legs, as it became a giant mechanized machine, seemingly made of junkyard materials, as Packrat smirked, looking at the teens from within the head of his garbage mech, as it stood fully, ready to fight, as the teens got into a battle stance, as they charged in, with Blossom and Percy manifesting a combined construct, with the gloves of Blossom's construct forming the hands to Percy's gladiator warrior, as Buttercup and Snowball snickered, only for Blossom to slap the two of them, "We have to stop Packrat!" she said, as Percy and Blossom charged together, while Percy created a sword in tandem with Blossom's constructs, using it to slice at the monster, as Bubbles and Art took each other's hands, and manifested a giant light blue armadillo, with Art adding a silver metal coat, with blades coming from the energy he projected, as they rolled up, going at the giant, as Buttercup and Snowball smirked, flying around the garbage goliath, as they blasted it with either fire or ice, freezing or burning away the trash, as Percy threw an energy shield in front of Buttercup, as Buttercup groaned, "What's the big idea anyway?" she asked, as Blossom groaned, "You'll cause a natural disaster if you burn all that trash!" she said, as Snowball smirked, flying right next to her, "She said not to burn it, but not to freeze-dry the thing." he said, as Buttercup smirked, "I get it now." she said, as Snowball and Buttercup glowed icy blue and light green, forming an energy yeti, with the right arm of the yeti being a flamethrower, as Buttercup smirked, "You're gonna have to deal with fire so cold, it burns!" she said, as Snowball and Buttercup aimed the flamethrower arm at the giant, as they opened fire, using their combined elemental abilities to make the foot of the giant freeze solid, as Blossom and Percy leapt into the air, as they slashed at the garbage giant, while the golem swung at the teens, Bubbles and Art manifested a hyena, with a pair of sound speakers on it, in teal energy, as they lunged at the mech, taking a breath, only for them both to get a bit of garbage air, as they fell off, while Art switched to a dark green wind energy, as he blew the golem back, as it stepped backwards from the wind, while Buttercup and Snowball jumped up onto the mech, blasting a spot with icy flames, freezing up the giant with flames of ice, as Blossom and Percy swung at the colossus, with blade being a push pin, as they slashed at the giant, only for them to see that they weren't doing that much damage, "We have to stop this thing, before it gets to Townsville and finds the painting!" she said, as the others got knocked back to the ground, as Packrat cackled in triumph, "Soon, Packrat find shiny for Mandy!" the rat said, as Art got an idea, as he looked to Bubbles, "Time for a spinning tornado!" he said, as Bubbles nodded, as Art and Bubbles manifested a light blue energy cheetah, with boosted crimson armor around the paws, tail, back, and headgear, which kept its eyes and nose covered to help it breathe, as they got ready to start, as they ran around the garbage monolith, as they sped around it, as they ran around it, moving at such high speeds, as Packrat chuckled, "No cat can beat Packrat and Mandy!" he said, as Blossom noticed something, and smirked, "Are you sure you don't want to rethink that statement?" she asked, as the cheetah kept going even faster, creating a cyclone from it moving around at blurring speeds, as Packrat noticed that the garbage mech was starting to shake, noticing that the foot of the giant mech of garbage was losing structure, as the cyclone of crimson and light blue was zooming around, with the garbage and junk starting to be sucked into the twister, as Percy and Blossom hid behind Percy's Olympian energy shield, as Bubbles and Art had weakened the structure of the foot, while Buttercup and Snowball aimed at the foot, while the other two moved out of the way, with Percy smirking, switching to a warrior, as Art charged up Percy, switching his speed energy to lightning energy, as they moved like a flash, as he charged up Percy's blade, while Percy smirked, as Blossom manifested a pair of gloves, which Percy's warrior used as the hands, manifesting a sword, from the pushpin, as they charged in, slashing at the garbage mech, as they infused lightning with the pushpin sword, as they struck the metal foot of the mech, causing the mech to get shocked with Packrat getting zapped in the process, as he fell from the mech, while Art noticed something odd, as he separated from Bubbles' energy construct, while she looked in confusion, as the others were on guard, while Packrat landed on the ground, groaning in pain, as the mech of garbage started rumbling, when Percy noticed that Art was heading towards the structure, as Art glowed blue, copper, red, and green, as everything seemed to move in slow motion, as a blue energy field projected from around Art, expanding around the junkyard, as he saw everything around him in range moving in slow motion, as he flew over to the cockpit of the mech, as the others saw the mech crumble to garbage, as Art got an idea, as he created a sphere of blue energy, spreading out the sphere to encompass the entire junkyard, as everything was falling in slow motion, as Art zoomed around at high speeds, moving the junk to the ground, and keeping it inside the yard, while he noticed something off, as he zoomed over to it, grabbing it and zooming out of the junkyard, as once the junk was taken care of, Art went off somewhere, now manifesting a crimson energy around himself, and arrived back, seeing Packrat wake up, groggily, as he noticed his surroundings, "You ruin creation and steal Mandy from Packrat!" he said, as Art smirked, "She wasn't yours, her name isn't Mandy, and she belonged to a little girl you stole her from you monster!" he said, as the others were surprised to hear this, "I found a poster last week about a girl who was looking for the doll, but had lost it a while back." he said, showing a poster, as the teens were surprised, as Packrat scurried to Art's feet, "Please, give back Mandy for Packrat!!!" the rat man said, as Art groaned, "If I give you a new doll, will you promise not to steal anything else again?" he asked, his face showing that he wouldn't budge, while Packrat pleaded, the mutant rat sighed, "Fine, Packrat promise." he said, as Art grinned, "Good." he said, as he drew on his tablet, as a doll appeared in midair, being nearly identical to the previous one, but it had blue and yellow coloration to its outfit, as the doll landed in Packrat's hands, as he marveled at the toy, "Thank you..." he said, as Art smiled, "Her name's Sally, and she hates people who steal shiny things from people, but enjoys making art from objects in a junkyard." he said, as Art smiled, when Packrat was conflicted, "Why Sally not like shiny things?" he asked, as Art smiled, "It's because she likes to be creative and helps build artistic sculptures from whatever's lying around in the junkyard to build it." he said, as Packrat smiled, "Packrat is happy to help with Sally needs, Sally help Packrat be able to build great art!" he said eagerly, as Packrat looked around, getting something to build a sculpture of junk, as Art drew on his tablet, as a new home appeared from the area that was empty, as it was revealed to be a home for Packrat and Sally, as the rat man looked inside the place, as he marveled at the shiny things that were inside, with the house having a home, where they could live, as they marveled at this, as Packrat was amazed by this, hugging Art happily, "Thank you, Packrat and Sally are happy now!" he said, as Art smiled, "No problem." he said, as he stretched out of Packrat's grip, washing himself with aqua water energy, and dried himself off with both fire and wind energy, smiling, "So, you won't steal anymore?" he asked, as Packrat nodded, "Yes, Packrat promises!" he said, as Art grinned, "Good." he said, as the others were surprised by what just happened, as Art looked to them, "What?" he asked, "It was better than the alternative." he said, as they floated off to their school, as a woman and her little girl came to them, "You're Art Nehru right?" she asked, as Art smiled, "Yeah." he said, as she smiled, "Thank you again for finding my little girl's doll." she said, as they were surprised by this, as Art smiled, "It was no trouble mam." he said, as the woman looked to her daughter, "I think Molly has something to say to you." she said, as Molly walked over to him, "Thank you sir." she said, as Art smiled, "No problem." he said, rubbing the back of his head, as the mother and her daughter walked off, with Molly holding her doll close to her chest, as they walked off, "You're the best boyfriend ever Art." said Bubbles, as Art smiled, "Well, we're heroes, we do what we have to do, since we do save Townsville for breakfast." he said, as Buttercup smirked, "Great, can we get to class now, it's tater tot time!" she said, as Art rubbed his belly, "You read my mind!" he said, as they flew off to the school, and with that, we end this episode here.
