The episode opens on Mystery Mountain, where An Yu is taking care of a bonsai tree. She tells the tree tomorrow is her 2,001st birthday, and she will have to face a great task that she doesn't know the exact details yet. If she succeeds she will receive a gift of great dragon power. Unfortunately, Night Ninja overhears her and plots to trick her for his own purposes. Along with a Ninjalino he breaks into the museum and destroys something.

The following day Ivan and Amaya visit the musuem, where they learn a 2,000 year old dragon vase has been broken. Amaya wants to investigate who did this. After the Power Heroes meet up in their Space Headquarters that night, she returns to the museum along with An Yu. When Owlette wonders why An Yu volunteered for this mission, she explains about the task she must complete for her 2,001st birthday, and that this broken vase might be part of that task. An Yu then notices scorch marks on the wall and fears a dragon has been freed from the vase when it broke. Owlette is excited to learn it's An Yu's birthday and wants to throw her a big party, but An Yu wants to focus on the mission first and insists she must complete the task alone.

As An Yu searches the library, Night Ninja observes the heroes. The scorch marks his work as part of his plan. An Yu spots a shadow of a dragon and chases after it, unaware that the shadow is actually a paper version of it being held by three Ninjalinos. Elsewhere in the museum, two other Ninjalinos ambush and capture Owlette, trapping her in a box. She calls for An Yu to help her, but An Yu is too distracted chasing the dragon. She spots a red light coming from another room and thinks it's the dragon, but it is actually Night Ninja, who reveals his true plan; he has managed to get his hands on a miniature version of the Dragon Gong called the Ninja Trance Gong, and uses it to put An Yu under his control.

Night Ninja takes the hypnotized An Yu into the city and has her use her powers to destroy stuff. After having some fun in the city, Night Ninja orders An Yu to destroy the museum so he can have it replaced with a new museum dedicated to him. In the museum, Owlette attempts to escape the box by picking the lock with her owl feathers, but it takes a lot of tries before she succeeds. Once free, she flies outside and sees what Night Ninja has done to An Yu. She uses her owl wing wind to make Night Ninja drop the gong, and knock An Yu back to her senses. They try to get the gong, but a Ninjalino gets his hands on it first. Owlette can't stop him as she's captured with Sticky Splat. An Yu however manages to tackle the Ninjalino to the ground with two of Owlette's feathers. One of the feathers hits the gong and cracks it. Due to the crack, the gong loses it's power, but An Yu pretends it's still working so she can get close enough to Night Ninja for a surprise attack. With her staff, she blows the ninjas away.

The girls return to the museum and resore the broken vase. Owlette is disappointed An Yu did not get her gift, but An Yu assures her she did; she found the gift of friendship, which is the most important gift of all. With the mission over, the girls then return to Space HQ, where the other heroes have prepared a surprise party for An Yu.
