## Plot

The episode starts with the gang at the mall, with Buttercup and Snowball taking on a new guitar themed game, rocking out, as Blossom and Percy were working on their smartphones, while Bubbles and Art were dancing on a dance themed video game, having quite the skills and being in sync, as if they were the same person, while they racked up the high score, "Winner!" the game said, as Bubbles and Art smiled in triumph, "Alright!" the two said in unison, as they fist bumped, with Bubbles pecking his cheek, as Art smirked, while Snowball and Buttercup groaned, "Do you two always have to be so sappy?" she asked, as Bubbles simply stuck her tongue out at them, going back to nuzzling Art happily, as Snowball smirked, "You won't ever catch me acting all sappy like those two love birds!" he said, as Buttercup chuckled, "That's a relief." she said, as Blossom sighed, shaking her head, "Promise me we won't get like Buttercup and Snowball if we ever do make out." she asked, as Percy smiled, "Way ahead of you on that one Blossom." he said, as Blossom smiled, "Thanks Percy." she said, as Percy smirked, "All the perks of being one of the two smartest teens in school." he said, as Blossom smirked, "I thought we talked about not being so egocentric again." she said, as Percy was about to say something, when an explosion came from the city, as the others flew outside into the fray, they saw a strange group of villains, with strange looking instruments, as the heroes saw a band, with a drummer using their drumsticks to create an earthquake, causing the ground to crack open, as Art used the brown earth elemental energy to restore the ground back, while another one had a guitar, as the female figure slammed their guitar into some mailboxes, while another swung their bass and attacked some of the citizens of Townsville, as another had strum a rhythm guitar and made a soundwave attack, knocking back the teens, as they got their bearings, but they stood in determination, as the band was ready to fight, "Who the heck are these guys?" asked Snowball, as Buttercup smirked, "Whoever they are, they're toast!" she said, igniting her fists on fire, as she charged in, while the guitarist swung her guitar at Buttercup, knocking her back, as she got her bearings, "Oh, now it's on!" she said, as Blossom held her sister back, "Who are you guys?" she asked, as the lead singer smirked, "We are, Freak Revolution!" he said, as he introduced themselves, "I'm Riot!" he said, as Riot smirked, "On guitar is the crazy Havoc!" he said, gesturing to the female guitarist, "On Bass is Pride!" he said, introducing the crazy being, "On Drums is Bear!", he said, as the brute clacked his drumsticks, "And finally, on Rhythm Guitar, Brawn!" he said, as a robotic armored being looks to them, with guitar in hand, "And together, we are, FREAK REVOLUTION!!!!!" Riot exclaimed, as the teens looked on guard, "Well you're going down!" said Snowball, as he fired ice projectiles towards them, while Brawn strummed his guitar, as a soundwave came from the instrument, shattering the icicle projectiles, as Snowball scowled in fury, "You're going down Freak Shows!" he said, as Blossom used her laser eyes on the villains, only for it to be deflected by Havoc, as Blossom groaned a bit, but got back up, "You're going down!" said Buttercup, as she hurled a blast of fire to attack the lead singer, while Riot smirked, "Pathetic!" he said, as the soundwave from Pride nullified the flames with a bass blast, putting them out, much to Buttercup's annoyance, as Art smirked, using a teal energy, with his sound charging up to blast them, but Pride turned his bass into an axe, and swung at Art, using a crimson energy to move out of the way. As Art saw this, he was ready for a fight, along with the others, "We'll have to take them down!" said Blossom, "But how?" asked Buttercup, as the band cackled, "You think you can beat us?" Riot asked mockingly, as the teens scowled, "You want Townsville, you'll have to go through us!" exclaimed Percy, as the band smirked, "With pleasure!" said Riot, as they played on their instruments, with the combined blast being quite powerful, enough to knock the teenagers back into a building, as the band smirked, seeing the witnesses to the battle, as Riot smirked, "Thank you Townsville, we are Freak Revolution, and we'll be here all the time!" he said, as the people watching ran off, fleeing in fear, as the teens got out of the building they were knocked into, while they shook off their defeat, they saw the villainous band had escaped, as Buttercup growled in anger, she punched a wall, her fist ablaze with fire, as Blossom stopped her sister, "We'll get them next time." she said, as Buttercup groaned, "Fine." she replied, as she huffed off, with the others following her.

Back at school, the teens were a bit crestfallen from their earlier battle, they were planning something in the cafeteria, "We have to figure out a way to stop these musical freaks." Blossom said, as Art sighed, while viewing a video of the teens getting beat by Freak Revolution, "Yeah, but how do we do that?" asked Buttercup in annoyance, "Maybe we need to form our own band." proposed Snowball, as Percy groaned, "That makes little sense than usual Snowball." he said, as Art groaned, "We'll just have to figure out a plan to get rid of them." he said, as Bubbles smiled, "If we were a band, I'd be on the vocals." she replied, as Blossom groaned, "Please don't encourage him Bubbles." asked Percy, as Snowball groaned in annoyance, "Can't you just humor me for once?" he asked, as Percy sighed, as Art groaned, taking a bite out of his food, "Can you two not fight while we're eating?" asked Art, as he took another bite of his food, while Blossom nodded, "I have to agree with Art, you two need to stop fighting!" she said, as Percy sighed, "Alright, but only for you Blossom." he replied, as Buttercup sighed, "Great, the fight is over, now can we focus on how to beat these monster freaks before they destroy the city?" she asked annoyedly, as Blossom groaned, "We can't just go in without knowing what they are capable of!" replied Blossom, as she ate some of her food.

As they went to their classes, they arrived at their study hall, when they got notifications on their smartphones, they saw the band of villains attacking the city, as they closed their books, and zoomed out, ready to fight the villains, when they saw the bank of Townsville, with Freak Revolution coming out of there, with their bus full of money, as they charged in, "We won't let you get away with this Freak Revolution!" said Blossom, as they floated in the air, ready to fight, as Riot smirked, "Well, well, well, if it ain't the Powerpukes!" he said, as the band dropped their moneybags, while Brawn smirked, drumming with his drum sticks, as the earth started to shake, while Art countered with a teal sound energy counter, nullifying the quake, as Brawn smirked, "Quite impressive!" he said, as he drummed again, while Art kept the sound up, negating the seismic attacks of the drummer, as Buttercup scowled, hurling a fireball at the group, only for Bear to negate it with a sound blast from his bass guitar. "What kind of attack was that?" asked Riot mockingly, as Buttercup scowled in annoyance, as she charged in, delivering a punch, only for Havoc to swing at her with her guitar, as Buttercup was knocked away, getting slammed into a building, as Blossom used her laser eyes on the group, only for them to be blocked by Pride's Rhythm Guitar, as Blossom was determined, "I wouldn't be too sure!" she said with a smirk, as they saw money had been replaced back in the bank, while Art and Snowball smirked, "Surprise!" Art said, as Percy smirked, "You should really keep your eyes on your..." Percy said, before getting hit with a snowball, as Percy growled, "Would you stop doing that!" he demanded, as Snowball smirked, "Then you stop being boring!" he replied with a grin, as Percy groaned in annoyance, "Guys!" said Bubbles, as the two looked to her, "What?" they both said, "The band got away!" she said, as Blossom groaned, "Percy, we talked about dealing with Snowball during battles." she said firmly, as Percy groaned, "At least we kept them from getting the money." Art said, as Snowball groaned, "Thanks for the update captain obvious!" he said, as Percy groaned, "We can talk about it later, right now, we have to get to class!" he said, as they flew off, heading to their next class.

As the bell rang, the teens had exited the school for the day, as they floated home, feeling a bit crestfallen, while they went home, where they came to the living room, as the Professor and Sapna came into the living room, "What's wrong?" asked Sapna, as the Professor came to them, worried about the teens, while Percy sighed, "Ask Snow for brains here!" he said, as Snowball scowled at him, "If it wasn't for you feta face, we would have gotten those criminals by now!" he said angrily, as Buttercup scowled, "Hey, I'm the only one who can call him that!" she said, as Bubbles scowled, punching her face, "Like how you always call my boyfriend Arty, boyfriend stealer!" she said, as Buttercup scowled, "I wouldn't steal him anyway!" she said, "Besides, it was back when we were six and you claimed him anyway!" she replied, as Bubbles scowled, laser blasting her sister's face, as she shook off the soot, as Blossom scowled, trying to get between the two, "Knock it off you two!" she said, holding her sisters back, as Buttercup scowled, "You always have to be the teacher's pet and little miss perfect all the time Bloss!" she said, as she tried to punch her sister, as she punched Bubbles by mistake, as she scowled, "Oh, it's on now!" she said, as they fought each other, as Percy and Snowball tried to fight each other, as Art groaned, holding them back, "You two need to stop it now!" he said, as Percy scowled, "Tell that to the popsicle over there!" Percy exclaimed, as Snowball scowled, "You are so dead!" he said, as he charged in, with Art getting caught in the middle of the fight, as he got a hit to the face, as Bubbles saw this, scowling, "No one hurts my man!" she exclaimed, as she punched Snowball, as soon, the six started fighting each other, as the Professor and Sapna were surprised, "Girls, boys, stop!" he said, "Why are you six fighting?" Sapna asked, as Sophie noticed something strange about them, and she walked off, "Where are you going Sophie?" asked the Professor, "I think I might have an idea what's causing them to argue so much." she said, as she went downstairs, then came back, with a sort of device, as she scanned the teens with the device, she was startled by what she saw, "I can't believe this!" she said, as she showed the readings to the Professor, "No wonder their angry at each other." he said, as Sapna was confused, "What's going on?" she asked, as the Professor looked to her, "It seems they've been exposed to a frequency that amplifies their aggression and anger." he said, as Sapna gasped, "How did this happen?" she asked, as the Professor looked to the teens, "I have no idea." he replied, as Sophie thought about it, "It must have been from Freak Revolution pelting them with sound attacks." she said, as her parents looked towards the girl, "Is there a way to fix this?" asked Sapna, concerned for her older son, when Sophie had an idea, taking a few of the ear buds she had, as she went to the lab, "Sophie!" the Professor and Sapna said, as they saw sparks coming from the lab, as she ran up the stairs of the lab, just as Snowball and Percy had Art pinned down, when Sophie ran to Art, placing the earbuds into his ears, as Art struggled, blasting Snowball and Percy with laser vision, when Sophie pressed the button on the ear buds, Art shook his head, his pupils going back to normal, as he started coming to, looking around, "What's going on?" he asked, as Sophie smiled, "It worked!" she exclaimed, as the Professor and Sapna looked to their daughter, "What did you do?" asked the Professor, as Sophie smirked, "I just modified the ear buds Art made to negate the effects of the sound attacks that Freak Revolution hit them with." she said with a grin, as Sapna was surprised, as Art knocked Snowball and Percy off himself, as they went back to fighting with the girls, as Art looked to the group, "That might be the reason why we've been having a hard time fighting them." he said, as Sophie was curious, then thought of something, "Can you get the earbuds to modify themselves so they block out the Freak Revolution's effects?" she asked, as Art twirled his stylus in his hand, "Leave it to me!" he said, as he drew on his tablet, erasing the earbuds, and replacing them with the ones he had on, drawing them onto Bubbles' ears too, as the teens shook their heads, their eyes going back to normal, as they looked around, "What's going on?" asked Snowball, as he felt quite groggy, as he woke up from his trance, "Yeah, what happened?" asked Blossom, as Art floated towards them, "We were under the spell of Freak Revolution's music!" he said, as Buttercup shook herself free from her anger, "Man, that must be why we were at each other like that." she replied, as Bubbles snapped out of her trance, hugging Art close to her, "Well, we're back to normal, thanks to you Arty Bear!" she said, as Art smiled, enjoying the hug, but soon broke free, much to Bubbles' concern, "Actually, it was Sophie who figured it out." he said, as Sophie smiled pridefully, as Art smiled, "If it weren't for her, we'd be at each other like a pack of angry wolves." he said, as Blossom smiled, "Thanks Sophie." she said, as Sophie smirked, "Any time Blossom." she said, as the teens now sat on the couch, "Maybe we can use this to get rid of these Freaks from that band." said Blossom, as Art smiled, "Way ahead of you Blossom." he replied, as he showed several of the devices in his hands, as the teens were now determined, ready to go, "Let's break up the band!" said Buttercup, as she ignited her fists, ready for a fight.

At Townsville Central Park, Freak Revolution was attacking the Park, when the group had arrived, ready to fight, as they turned towards them, "Time to end the show!" said Blossom, as Riot smirked, "Come for an encore eh Power-wimps?" he asked mockingly, as he held his mic, while the teen heroes smirked, "The only one who's going down is you guys!" Art said, as Havoc smirked, "Time to take you down!" she said, as she swung her guitar at the gang, while they dodged the attack, as she strummed her guitar, delivering a sonic blast, while it knocked back the teens, they got back up, as Havoc was shocked, "What the...?" she said, staring in shock, as Percy smirked, "Got a bit of some gear from a genius prodigy!" he replied, as the band growled, while Brawn scowled, playing on his Rhythm guitar, while Art switched to a crimson speed aura, as he zoomed around Townsville, replacing ear buds with the newer ones, freeing Townsville from the band's grip, "You know that rock's for freedom, not for crime!" Art said, as he just arrived, while Blossom smirked, "Time for plan Mega Scream 45!" she said, as they nodded, as Buttercup groaned, "Ugh, I hate having to do that plan!" she said, as she manifested a stereo system, as Bubbles and Art got behind her, with Art manifesting a teal energy aura, in the form of a megaphone, as Blossom manifested energy tape, as Art braced for it, as Blossom tapped the two together, while Bubbles took a breath, and unleashed a sonic scream, as Art absorbed the attack aimed at him, and channeled it through Buttercup's construct, as it blasted a powerful sound blast attack, with the blast hitting the band dead on, knocking them back into the wall of a building, as they kept up the attack, getting hit from blast, while they tried to block with their instruments, but they got knocked out, as Snowball and Blossom froze them solid, as Percy smashed the instruments with herculean strength, when the beings found that their gear was destroyed, as Buttercup, Art, and Bubbles stopped their attack, as the bandmates passed out, with them out cold, as the teens regrouped, surprised by this, "Looks like your band is a one hit wonder!" said Buttercup with a smirk, as Art noticed something, "Something's strange." he said, as the others turned to see the creatures revert back to human beings, as they started waking up from their groggy state, "Wha.... what happened?" asked one of them, as the teens were confused, as the band members looked to the group, "You were trying to wail on us just a moment ago!" Buttercup answered, as the lead singer was surprised, "We did that?" he asked, as Art nodded, "You guys don't remember anything about what happened?" he asked, as the band members shook their heads, "Not really." he replied, as the guitarist looked to them, "Last thing I can remember, is getting these strange new instruments from some salesman, and then, nothing." she said, as the others were surprised, "You don't think it was HIM do you?" asked Blossom, as Art was surprised, "Couldn't be HIM." he replied, "I destroyed him after he went after me and Bubbles at school." he said, as Blossom and Percy looked to the two of them, "And what were you two doing at school?" asked Blossom skeptically, as Percy started scowling, "I'm starting to wonder the same thing." he said, as Art and Bubbles looked to each other, nervous as can be, as they turned to them, "We were just busy working on an art project after school." he said, as Bubbles and Art smiled, hoping the two would buy it, as Blossom and Percy were still looking at them suspiciously, "What were you painting exactly?" she asked, as Bubbles looked towards Art, hoping he could come up with a plan, as Percy glared at Art and Bubbles, "We were hiding after school to make out!" Bubbles blurted out, as Art sighed, nodding, as Percy shook his head, "I'd expect this kind of thing from Buttercup and Snowball, but you two?" he asked, as Blossom sighed, "To think you two would do something like this, and even Percy and I wouldn't do such a thing!" she said in frustration, as Art got between them and Bubbles, "Well to be honest, we only did it because between the homework, the activities, and the saving Townsville all the time, it was just to get some time to ourselves, that's all it was." he said, "Just to get some time for me and Bubbles to be a couple and be together, that's all." he said, as Percy sighed, "While I am mad that you kept this from us." he said, "I really can't deny that you two were only doing this to get a break to just be together." he said, as Blossom looked to them, "I know you two want to be a couple, but you can't just do something like this." as Art and Bubbles hung their heads, "We know." they both said, as Blossom sighed, "That said, as long as you two were only there to make out and nothing else, we'll forgive you both." she said, as Art and Bubbles' heads perked up, "Yeah, that was what we were planning on doing." Art replied, as Percy nodded, "Right, but next time you do this, you'll have to deal with the punishment!" he said firmly, as Art and Bubbles nodded, as Blossom floated to them, "And if you two just needed some time alone, just ask next time." she pleaded, as the two smiled, "We will." they said in unison, as Buttercup groaned, "Oh, so when me and Snowball wanna make out, you two are always coming down on us like a house of bricks, but when they want to, you don't even punish them!" she said, as Blossom sighed, "That's because Art and Bubbles are more responsible than you two!" she replied, as Percy nodded, "Plus, they suffered enough from facing HIM at school!" as Snowball groaned, "Lucky Art, always getting what he wants, just cause he's the youngest!" he muttered to himself, as Percy sighed, "You know I can hear you, right?" he said, as Snowball groaned, "But what could have made those instruments turn this band into such freak show monsters?" asked Buttercup, as while they went off to their home, a shadow loomed in the wings, "Oh, it looks like my band was a one hit wonder after all." the shadow said, as it smirked a pointed grin, "I guess I'll have to think of something to get back at those Powerpuffs another way." the figure said, as the figure slunk back into where it came from, and with that, our episode ends here.
