## Plot

The episode starts with a building that was hosting an opening for a new gymnasium, as Abs Man wiped the sweat from his brow, coming back from the opening, as he took a seat in his limo, catching his breath, "Man, these ribbon cuttings are getting harder and harder since I've been getting older." he said, as he enjoyed some of the fine cheeses he got in his limo, as it drove off, unaware of a looming figure in the shadows, as they held their claw like hands in the shadows of the limo, revealing a red demonic being, with clawed hands, having their upper body revealed from behind the shadows, with Abs Man being blissfully unaware of what was happening, "So, it seems the muscled hero is tired from all his hard work, is he?" the figure smirked, as they had a plan, "Perhaps I should do something nice for him, to help ease his burden." he said, as the figure disappeared, slinking in the shadows, as they manifested a stand, as he smirked, with a sign that showed a drink that was on sale, as Abs Man noticed the stand outside, as the figure was smirking while the man was not looking, "Hey driver, stop right here!" he said, as he looked at the stand, he got out of the limo, and walked over to the stand "Care for some new energy drink?" said the figure, as Abs Man inspected the drink, "What kind of energy drink?" he asked, as HIM smirked in his disguise, "Only our newest line of herbal energy drink that will give the pep back in your step!" he said, with an evil smirk in the shadows, as Abs Man curiously inspected the drink, "Care for a sample?" the vendor asked, as Abs Man inspected it, as he took the sample, sniffing it, while HIM was impatiently waiting for him to fall for it, as the salesman smirked, as Abs Man took the sample, tasting it sensibly, as he smiled, enjoying the taste, "Not bad there friend." the muscled man said, as HIM smirked, "How much do I owe ya?" he asked, as he took out his wallet, as HIM put his hand out, "Oh, no need, this one is on me." he said, as HIM smirked in secret, as Abs Man smirked, "Have a bottle on the house." HIM said, as he tossed the man a bottle, as Abs Man drank it up, as he crushed the bottle, enjoying the taste, "Hey, thanks bud," said the muscular man, "I feel better than ever." he said, as he flexed his arms, as HIM smirked, "Well, that's good to know." he said, as Abs-Man reached for some money in his wallet, as HIM smirked, stopping him, "No need to pay good friend." he said, "One bottle is all you'll ever need, and you'll be good as new easily." he said, as Abs Man smirked, "Thanks little guy." he said, as he went off to the limo, while HIM smirked, going into the shadows once he left, while Abs Man sighed contently, as he relaxed in his limo seat, feeling ready to go again, as they drove off to their next stop.

While Abs Man was enjoying some of his fine cheeses, he suddenly felt something was off, as he clutched his stomach in pain, as the limo driver looked at him through the rearview mirror, "Are you okay sir?" he asked, as Abs Man clutched his gut in pain, "I don't feel so good." he said, as he cringed in pain, as the limo driver stopped the car, as he checked on his client, as he saw a horrific sight, as several roars could be heard from the back seat, as he ran in horror, screaming in horror, as a flash could be heard, as roaring and screams could be heard, while the limo started breaking apart from what was causing the roaring and horror.

Meanwhile, the heroes of Townsville were at the mall, spending time at the arcade, with Bubbles and Art playing a dancing machine game, racking up quite the hi-score, as they seemed to be in perfect sync with each other, even hitting the combination moves of the game, while Buttercup and Snowball were playing a racing game together, trying to out race the other, as they both were trying to beat the other in the game, "You're going down snowflake!" said Buttercup with a smirk, ready to kick her boyfriend's butt, as Snowball grinned, "In your dreams princess!" he said, as he aimed to win, racing with determination, as Blossom and Percy sighed, annoyed at their younger siblings, "Those two are always so eager to beat each other in their annoying competitions." said Blossom, as Percy shook his head, "Try living with Snowball all your life and having him prank you nonstop." he said, as Blossom sighed, "I had the same problem with Buttercup as well." she said, as they sighed, but looked to each other, "At least with you around it's barrable compared to dealing with both of them solo." he said, as Blossom smiled, "Yeah, it is a lot easier with your help Percy." she said, as they enjoyed their moment, when suddenly, their smartphones rang, as Blossom picked up her phone, "Hello?" she asked, as a voice was heard on the phone, "What's going on Mayor?" she asked, as the Mayor was terrified, "Oh it's terrible, there's these three monsters who are attacking different spots of Townsville!" he said, "While their abs are phenomenal, they're making a mess of Townsville!" he said, as Blossom looked determined, "We're on it Mayor!" she said, as the others were curious, "What's going on?" asked Art, as Blossom turned to them, "Townsville's being attacked by three beasts with abs!" she said, as Buttercup groaned, "And just when I was kicking Snow face's butt!" she said, as Snowball smirked, "Not even in Art's dreams hot head!" he retorted back, as Bubbles blasted Snowball's face with her laser eyes, as Snowball groaned in annoyance, brushing off the soot from the blast, "We have to stop them before Townsville's destroyed!" she said, as the others nodded, "Let's go guys!" said Percy, as they flew off, hovering over the mall, "Where are the monsters?" asked Buttercup, as she cracked her knuckles in anticipation, as Blossom looked on her smartphone, "One's in Downtown Townsville, another is attacking the Townsville Park, and the last one is at the construction site." she said, as the others waited, "Percy and I can take the one attacking downtown." she said, "Bubbles, you and Art take the one at the park, and Buttercup and Snowball can take the one at the construction site!" she said, as Buttercup smirked, "That freak's gonna pay when I get ahold of him!" she said, as Snowball smirked, "Only if I don't beat it first!" he said with a grin, "Only in your dreams popsicle boy!" said Buttercup with a smirk, as Blossom groaned, "Focus you two!" she exclaimed in annoyance, as the two groaned, "Fine..." they both said, as they flew off, ready to face the threats of Townsville.

As the gang split up in pairs, Blossom and Percy had arrived in downtown Townsville, as they saw a strange Naga like monster, with abs on it's snake like tail, smashing through buildings around the area, "We have to stop this monster!" she said, as they flew towards it, ready to fight the monster.

Meanwhile, Bubbles and Art had arrived at the park, but discovered a beast with ab like scissors on its arms, was cutting down objects in the park, as they got into a battle stance, "Let's stop this creep!" said Bubbles, as they flew towards the monster, ready to save the park.

At the construction site, a strange beast with jackhammer like abs was punching everything down, looking angry about something, as Buttercup and Snowball arrived on the scene, holding the girders from falling, "Get out of here!" she said, "NOW!" she demanded, as the construction workers ran away from the scene, as the two teens turned towards the monster, "Let's pound this creep!" said Snowball, as he flew towards it, with Buttercup giving a smirk, "Only if you're ready to see me beat this thing like a boss!" she said, as Snowball smirked, "Hey, that's my line!" he said, "I make it work better!" she said, as they flew towards the monster, ready to fight the beast before them.

At Downtown, Blossom and Percy were fighting against a strange Naga like beast, as they got everyone out of the way, while they took on the beast before them, as it roared at them, slithering towards them, as they dodged its tail, "We have to stop this creature!" said Percy, as they dodged another blow, "But how?" asked Blossom, as they dodged another blow from the monster, as Percy grabbed the tail of the beast, "We have to stop this beast from destroying Downtown!" he said, as he swung the beast, hurling it out of the way, as Blossom and Percy got everyone out of the downtown area, so they wouldn't have to worry about them being in danger, as they charged into battle, when the monster swung its tail at the two, knocking them right into a wall, as they got out of the dents they made, getting back up, as they charged in again, flying around the beast and dodging its attacks in the process.

Meanwhile, at Townsville Central Park, Bubbles and Art were off facing against the strange beast, as it slashed at them with scissor like abs on its arms, as they charged in, with Bubbles using her laser eyes, as Art manifested a dark green wind energy, slashing at it with razor wind, only for the attacks to get countered by the beast, as it sliced the attacks right out of the air, as Bubbles used her sonic scream on it, only for the monster to stand strong, not even attacked, as it struck back, as Art drew some iron blades, having them land in the way of the beast, only for said blades to be sliced up in the process, as Art manifested a silver metal energy around himself, turning to metal, as the beast tried to cut at him, as he held the blades at bay, but was not fairing quite well, as he stood strong, but got knocked into a tree, as he manifested a jade energy, forming some support to help him up, "What do we do?" he asked, as he tried to shock the foe with a blue energy lightning attack, as he noticed that the beast stood still, while the beast roared, trying to attack the parkgoers, as Art realized this, manifesting a crimson energy skater gear, as he zoomed around the park, getting the people out of the area, as he sped them out of the way, a bit out of breath, but she floated to him, "We got them out!" he said, as they turned to the monster, as they charged in, ready to fight off the monster.

Back with Snowball and Buttercup, they were coming after the beast, as it roared at them, trying to attack the construction site, as Snowball and Buttercup charged in, "Time to burn this freak!" said Buttercup with a smirk, as Snowball had the same smirk on his face, "Not if I freeze him solid first!" he said, as they charged into the battle, while the beast roared at them, as it thrust its jackhammer like ab hands at the two, ready to attack them, as they dodged the blows of the beast, knocking it back with their attacks, as they charged at the beast, not letting up, with Snowball using his ice vision, as he froze over the arms, but the beast knocked them back, with the ice being broken off, freeing the beast, as they dodged the blows, knocking it back with a powerful punch from both of them, as it got back up again after the blow, it roared at them in a feral rage, charging at them, while they prepared to fight off this beast.

While they took on the beast, Blossom and Percy were trying to get rid of their beast, only for the beast to roar at them, with Percy using wind attacks at the beast, blowing it back, as it got knocked back into a building, only for it to get back up, then knock them back with its tail, slamming them into a nearby tanker, as they got out of the indents they made, while the beast roared at them both, as they charged in, only to get knocked into a wall, as they got back up again, flying towards the beast, as they tried to think of a plan, "This thing's not going down!" said Percy, trying to figure out a plan, as they went after the beast, yet their blows didn't seem to wear it down, as Blossom tried to use her ice breath on the beast freezing its tail, only for it to roar at them, and break its tail free, as it roared, charging after the two, "We have to keep trying!" Blossom said, as she charged at the beast from behind, while Percy went from the front.

With Blossom and Percy taking on the beast's attacks, Art had finished evacuating the bystanders from the park, as Bubbles took on the beast with a sonic scream attack, only to see that the beast cut right through it, as it growled viciously, as it lunged at Bubbles, ready to attack, as Art noticed this, he flew out, pushing Bubbles out of the way, getting hit by the attack, much to Bubbles' horror, "NO!" she cried out in fear, only to see that Art had made himself metal, via silver metal energy, as he held the blades at bay, as he threw the beast into a tree, he flew right back to Bubbles, "How do we stop this thing?" asked Bubbles, concerned about the area, as she worried about the animals that came to play at the park too, as Art got an idea, "Bubbles, remember when we took on Boomer from the Rowdyruff Boys when we were six?" he asked, "Yeah, why?" she asked quizzically, until she realized something, as Art manifested a teal energy around himself, as Bubbles took a breath, and delivered a powerful sonic scream, as Art took the attack, channeling it into his own energy, as he focused it into his hands, and aimed it at the beast, in a concentrated blast of sound, straight at the beast, as it got knocked back into a jungle gym, only to get back up, as it kept at the two teens, determined to attack the foes that were attacking it.

While Bubbles and Art faced their beast, Buttercup and Snowball were facing off against the beast before them, as the construction site was being destroyed as a result of the battle, as Buttercup and Snowball looked ready to fight, "Ugh, what's it take to beat this thing?" asked Buttercup in annoyance, as she tried to charge in, but Snowball got knocked back into her from the attack, as they both crashed into a steel beam, as it toppled some rubble, as it fell on them, as they got back up, "This guy won't go down!" she said in annoyance, as she cracked her knuckles, conjuring some flames in her hands, as Snowball smirked, creating claws made entirely of ice on his hands, "It's gonna go down when I get done with it!" said Snowball, with a look that was ready to bash some heads, they both charged in, as the beast roared at them, ready to attack the opponents before it.

As the two fought at the construction site, Blossom and Percy were trying to finish off their beast, but the creature seemed nigh unbeatable, "This doesn't make any sense." said Blossom, as she dodged the blows of the beast, "How can this thing be indestructible?" she asked as Percy thought of something, "What if it's not a single beast?" he asked, as Blossom looked to him, curious, "What are you talking about?" she asked, as Percy dodged a blow from the beast, "I mean, what if it's just one piece of a being, and that it was a result of it being separated from the other two monsters?" asked Percy, as he dodged another swing from the beast's tail, as Blossom put a hand to her ear, "You guys get any of that?" she asked, as she revealed an ear bud in her ear, which had a pink blossom on the insignia, made by a certain younger sister of theirs, "Yeah!" said Bubbles, "Right!" said Art, "Yeah, yeah." said Buttercup, "We got it already Mrs. Greek Geek!" said Snowball in annoyance, as Percy groaned at his brother's response, "Look, just bring your beasts to the junkyard and we'll beat them there!" he said, as the others nodded, as they went after the beast, leading their beasts to the junkyard, as the beasts roared, charging at the pairs, following them at a berserker's pace, as the pairs flew up into the air, as the beasts noticed this, but they soon noticed each other, looking curious about the other monsters, as they snarled at each other, they roared in fury, as they started attacking each other, but while they were busy, Percy signaled to the others, as they tried to maneuver around the beasts, only for them to attack the group again, as Percy nodded, with Blossom nodding too, as the gang dodged the blows the beasts launched, just as the beasts seemed to hit them, but the gang dodged again, causing the beasts to hit each other instead, as they noticed this, and roared at each other, and charged at the others, causing them to strike each other with their own attacks, making them take the hits from either one, as the six floating super teens nodded and punched the beasts from behind, right into each other, causing them to roar in pain from the attacks, as they exploded in a ball of strange light, and out of the explosion, came a figure, with the gang on guard, as the smoke cleared, revealing Abs Man in the wake, as he looked a bit weary, but stood up again, rubbing his head, "What happened?" he asked, "Where am I?" the man asked, as the boys looked at the man, confused, but on guard, "Who is this guy?" asked Percy, as Buttercup recognized the man, "Abs Man?" she asked in confusion, as she floated to the man, while Abs Man was a bit weary, due to the battle taking its toll on him, but he was still standing, "What happened to you back there?" asked Blossom, as Abs Man held his head, "I don't know..." he said, "I just remember I was in my limo, when I saw a guy with a strange herbal drink, after that, I can't remember anything, till I found myself in this junkyard, wondering how I got here." he said, as the gang was confused, wondering what was going on, as unbeknownst to them, a figure loomed in the shadows, rubbing their claw hands together, as it turned into a very familiar shadow, "So, they figured it out, hmm?" the figure said, "Oh well, I guess this plan just fell quite fast didn't it?" he said, as he cackled to himself, "Time to think of a new plan." the figure said, as he slinked back into the shadows, and with that, our episode ends here.
