## Plot

The episode begins at Downtown Townsville, where the citizens were running in a panic, as a minotaur like man, wearing a luchador outfit, was tearing up downtown, as the citizens were fleeing in terror, as the creature smirked, "Look at you cowards!" the minotaur like man said, with a smug look on his face, "Fleeing in terror like the little weaklings." he smirked, as he kept attacking buildings, as the Powerpuffs showed up to the scene, determined to stop him, "Time to reign you in, El Toro Bruto!" said Blossom, as Buttercup smirked, "Time to brand this Bull!" she said, as she charged in, ready to knock him into the stratosphere, as El Toro grinned, "Well, well, the weak little princess is ready to take me on huh?" he said, with a cocky grin, as Buttercup stopped in her tracks, "Did you just call me princess?" Buttercup said, as she scowled, with a look of annoyance, ready to turn the villain into burgers, as El Toro smirked, "Aw, does the little princess wanna cry?" he said, mocking her, as Snowball grinned cockily, "Your funeral Bucko!" he said with a smirk, knowing full well what she would do to those who called her princess, as she growled in rage, "Nobody. Calls. Me. Princess!" she said, as she flew straight for the villain, punching El Toro in the face, as he got knocked back into a building, but stood back up, smirking at her, "Is that all you got, you weak, little, princess?" he asked, with cocky grin, as Buttercup growled, "Don't. Call me. Princess!" she said, as she charged in, manifesting a light green spiked boxing glove, as he knocked her away, smirking in triumph "Ha!" he said, with a cocky grin, "You're just a weak, little, baby, princess!" he exclaimed, as Buttercup snarled in rage, "Nobody, Calls, Me, PRINCESS!!!" she exclaimed, as her pupils turned skulls and crossbones, as she charged in, ready to punch the villain, as he smirked, "Is that all you got you little princess?" he said, clearly egging her on, as Buttercup growled, charging at him, "I'll show you princess!" she exclaimed, as she was eager to pound the bull man into the pavement, only for the bull to simply knock her out of the way with a punch, as she growled, as the others noticed her lift up an entire building from the ground, clearly enraged, as the others flew in to get the people out safely, as she smashed El Toro, only for him to stand back up, shrugging it off, as she kept throwing punch after punch, only for him to keep catching them with one hand, as he caught her hand and held her in place, "Not bad, little princess!" he said, as Buttercup screamed and glowed in a bright green energy flame, as she went all out, manifesting an energy bazooka, blasting him with shot after shot, damaging the area around her, yet not landing a hit on El Toro Bruto, as she kept trying to land a hit on the man bull creature, while the others tried to get the citizens to safety from Buttercup's fury.

As soon as the scene changed, blackness is shown, as a pair of eyes started opening slowly, as the sound of Blossom's voice could be heard, "Buttercup!" she said, as Buttercup groggily groaned, "Buttercup!" Blossom said again, as Buttercup groaned, as she slowly woke up, "Buttercup!" Blossom said, as Buttercup finally woke up fully, as she looked around, noticing the damage that had happened, as she stared in shock, "Whoa!" she said, as she looked around, "What happened?" she asked, as saw the damage she did, "You happened!" said an annoyed Percy, as Buttercup sat in shock, as she was horrified by what she saw, "This is horrible Buttercup!" Blossom said, clearly furious, "Even for you!" she said, as Buttercup stood up, floating back up a bit, shocked in terror of what she did, "You're lucky Art has his special power, or you would be in even worse trouble!" he said, as Buttercup didn't hear what he said, as she stared at the damage she had done, the people she had almost hurt, and even the fact she had hurt Art's face, as Bubbles shot her a death glare, as Buttercup cringed a bit, as this was something new to her, as she thought it was strange, "You have to keep a better hold of your anger when someone calls you princess!" she said, as Buttercup was stunned silent, as the two inspected her, "Buttercup?" Blossom asked, as she stared at her sister, as Percy was concerned, "Is she okay?" he asked, curious, as Snowball inspected her, curious, "I think she's broken!" she said, as she felt her hands start to shake, as she looked at her hands, "Are you okay Buttercup?" asked Blossom, as the others stared at her in concern, as she was in complete shock, shuddering in horror, "I can't believe I... I... I... I..." she stammered, as she started tearing up, which surprised the others, "Are you okay?" asked Bubbles, as Bliss and Jaden arrived on the scene, "What's going on?" asked Bliss, as Buttercup was surprised by this, as she started flying off at a breakneck pace, as Bliss caught the younger siblings in a telepathic energy, helping to steady them, as they noticed Buttercup's light green energy trail flew off, going super sonic fast, much to their confusion, as they followed after her, worried for the girl.

Meanwhile, at the Utonium household, the Professor and Sapna were working on a project, with the Professor screwing in a screw into the device, as Sapna was working on a formula to power the invention, as she poured some chemicals into a test tube, "How's the fuel going Sapna?" he asked, as Sapna turned to him, "Just a bit more time and it's finished." she said, as the Professor put down his drill, "You know Sapna, I've been meaning to ask, do you have a place of your own?" he asked, as Sapna was surprised, as she looked around nervously, "What do you mean?" she asked, as the Professor turned to her, "I don't mean to be so nosey, but I have never been to your place, let alone even seen your place." he said, as Sapna sighed heavily, "I kind of didn't have a home to live in." she said, as she sighed, "I had so much time dedicated to finding a cure for my spider transformation." she said, starting to tear up a bit, "That's one of the perks of turning into a giant spider monster when you feel love, then mutating into a scorpion like arachnid monster after toxic waste mutated you and caused your condition to worsen." she said, as she hung her head, as the Professor took her hand in his, "Well, just know that you always have a place here with us Sapna." he said, as she smiled, holding his hand in her hand, "Thank you Professor." she said, as she hugged him tightly, as the Professor blushed a bit, "It's no trouble at all Sapna." he said, as he smiled, holding her close, his eyes closed, as they were lost in their embrace, when they suddenly heard a door slam open, as they ran upstairs, just in time to see a light green streak zoom past them, as they noticed two trails of tears coming from the streak on the floor, as they were curious about this, as they followed the trail to the girls' room, as the door suddenly gets slammed, as the door was locked up, as the two were concerned, as they could hear sobbing on the other side of the door, as they looked to each other, as the Professor and Sapna wondered what was going on, as they went downstairs to go see what had just arrived, as they saw the others beaten up pretty badly, with Art's glasses having been broken, as he drew on his smartphone to make a new pair, as they were fully repaired, as Snowball had a shocked look on his face, having witness something terrifying, as Bubbles dusted her hands off, as the Professor and Sapna were wondering something, as they were about to ask, "If you're wondering what happened, Art got knocked out by El Toro Bruto, and Bubbles saw it, and you can see the reason why." Blossom said, as the two looked to them, as Bubbles held Art in her arms, as Art cringed a bit, as she snuggled up to him gently, as Snowball stared in horror, "She knocked him all the way into the ground..." he said, "Then broke off his horns and made him eat them..." he said, "The horror..." Snowball said, in a stunned state, "I'll never pick on Art again as long as I live!" he said, as he saw her come towards him, as he flew away from her, clearly terrified, as Bubbles looked to Snowball, but simply shrugged, as she went back to snuggling Art, as the Professor and Sapna looked to each other, noticing something was off, "Where's Buttercup?" asked Sapna, as the Professor noticed the missing green clad hero, "She went zooming off for some unknown reason." said Art, manifesting a pink energy flame from Bubbles snuggling him in her arms, as the Professor figured it out, "So she was the noise we heard when we came back upstairs?" as the others nodded, as the group went over to the bedroom of the girls, as the Professor knocked on the bedroom door, "Buttercup?" he asked, as he leaned close to the door, "Is everything alright?" he asked, as sobbing could be heard from the other side of the door, "Buttercup?" asked Sapna, "Are you alright in there?" she asked, as the sobbing continued, "Leave me alone!!!" yelled Buttercup, as she could be heard crying, as the Professor and Sapna looked confused, as Percy floated to them, "She had been called princess many times and destroyed Downtown Townsville, after she had seen what she did, she started acting strange, then after Art had fixed things, she was gone, with Bliss catching us before we got caught in her sonic speed." he said, as the two adults looked to each other, as Art floated over to the door, knocking on the door, "Are you okay Buttercup?" he asked, concerned for the girl, "I said leave me alone!" said Buttercup, crying heavily, as Bliss was curious, "Buttercup?" she asked, "Everything alright in there?" she asked in concern, as sobbing could be heard, "Buttercup?" she asked, knocking on the door, "Go away!" Buttercup exclaimed, as Bubbles floated over to the door, putting her ear to it, "What's wrong?" the youngest of the girls asked, listening to the door, as she could hear crying from the other side of the door, "What's going on?" asked Snowball, as Bubbles turned to him, causing Snowball to get scared a bit, but she wasn't angry at him, "I think she's crying in there." she said, as the others could hear sobs of sadness through the door, as they listened in again, "I SAID LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!" exclaimed Buttercup, as she started sobbing uncontrollably, as the others looked to each other, trying to think of something, "How do we talk to her?" asked Bliss, as she was concerned for her younger sister's current state, "Someone has to go in there to get through to her." said Percy, "But who do we send?" he asked, as Snowball smirked, "I'll go!" he said, as the others were in shock, "Are you crazy?" Jaden said, wondering for his brother's sanity, as Percy floated to him, "This would be the last thing she would need right now!" he said, as Snowball was undeterred, "I'm the only one that can get through to her." he said, determined, as he looked to Art, "I'm gonna need a door little bro!" he said, as Art was surprised, but nodded, "Right!" he said, as he erased part of the door to the girl's room, as Snowball flew through it, as Art drew it back in place, unsure if this would work.

While Snowball got into the room, he saw Buttercup on the bed, sobbing in her hands, "Buttercup?" asked the bleach blonde haired boy, as he flew closer to her, as she looked to him, as she turned away suddenly, manifesting a spiked dome around herself, "Leave me alone Snowball!" she said, as Snowball floated closer to her cautiously, as he tried to make this right, "Buttercup?" he asked, "Are you ok?" he asked, as Buttercup hid her face in her pillow, sobbing, "Just leave me alone!" she said, with sadness in her voice, "I'm nothing but a worthless joke!" she said, as she sobbed, to which Snowball was confused about this, "What are ya talking about?" he asked, curious, as she looked to him, "I'm no hero!" she said in tears, her eyes watering, "I always destroy the city when someone calls me princess!" she said sadly, "I couldn't even take on El Toro Bruto, even when he called me princess!" she said, as she punched a wall near her, forming cracks in the wall, as she started crying again, "I cause more harm than good!" she said in between sobs, "I don't deserve to be a hero anyway!" she said, as Snowball scowled in annoyance, "You think you have problems?!?!?" he said, to which Buttercup turned to look at him, curious, "At least you don't have to keep your anger in check all the time!" he said, as she wasn't convinced, "Yeah right at least you don't cause destruction everywhere you go!" she said, having stopped crying a bit, as Snowball was now furious, "You think you've got it bad?!?!?" he asked angrily, "Try causing a literal blizzard, every time you get called snowflake!" he exclaimed, as she was surprised by this, "Whoa, you actually create blizzards when you get called snowflake?" she asked, as he nodded, "Yeah, I do!" he said, glad she was at least talking to him, "One time, I caused a guy that called me Snowflake to be frozen solid!" he went on, as Buttercup was surprised, "He broke from just a single touch after that!" he said, to which Buttercup stared at him in shock, yet, a bit of respect as well, "Whoa, now that's heavy!" she said, perking up a bit, as Snowball smirked, "If you think you've got it rough, then just remember, you're not the only one who has rage issues." he said, with a smirk, as Buttercup showed a small smile, "Plus, you're the only one who took on Man Boy, twice, stood blow for blow with me, took on a chess villain, by yourself, and also took on those Toddler Titans creeps, and in that time you were in your rage mode!" he said, as Buttercup stood up, remembering what she's done since those times, "Whoa..." she said, as she thought about it, "You know what, you're right snow brains!" she said, with a smirk, "I'm still awesome no matter who I face!" she said, with her confidence and attitude back again, "I knew I'd get you back in action again!" said Snowball, with a smirk on his face, as he pumped his fists, "Like a Boss!" he said, to which Buttercup secretly was blushing a bit, with Snowball not noticing it, as he was busy enjoying his triumph, as Buttercup smirked, "Thanks Snow brains." she said, "Glad to be out of my funk." she said, as she hugged him a bit, causing him to blush in secret, while Buttercup smirked, breaking the hug, "You tell anyone about what I just did, and you're toast!" she said, as Snowball smirked, "I might tell someone, but just this once, I won't." he replied, as Buttercup chuckled a bit, "Thanks snow face." she said, as Snowball smiled, while Buttercup's stomach growled, "I don't know about you, but I could use a snack." she said, as Snowball smirked, "You and me both princess." he said, as Buttercup smirked, as they both went to the door, after Buttercup had made her construct vanish.

While the others were waiting to see what was happening, they heard the sound of the door unlocking, as they found that the door had opened up, as they fell onto the floor, as Buttercup was shocked, "Were you guys listening in on our conversation?" she asked in surprise, as they shook their heads, "We were just concerned that's all." Sapna said, as they were just glad that Buttercup was out of her room, as she simply had a smirk on her face, as the others were amazed, with Snowball smirking in pride, "Told ya I could do it!" he said, as Percy smirked, "Even I'm surprised he managed to accomplish this." he said, as Snowball smirked at him, as Buttercup floated into the air, "Aww yeah!" she said, with a smirk, "I'm back baby!" she said, "And I'm itching to kick some butt!" she said, as Percy smirked, knowing she wouldn't change any time soon, as Blossom's smart phone started ringing, as she picked it up and answered it, "Hello?" she asked, as she heard a voice on the other end, "We're on our way Mayor!" she said, as she hung up, as the others looking to her, "El Toro Bruto just broke out of jail." she said, as Snowball looked to Buttercup, "You ready to kick some butt?" asked Snowball, with a smirk, as Buttercup smirked, "Only if you're ready to cry when I beat him up before you do!" said Buttercup, her passion and confidence back again, as Snowball smirked, "Only if you're ready to lose when I beat him before you do!" he said, as Buttercup smirked, "Not even in Bubbles' dreams, slush for brains!" she said, as Blossom shook her head in annoyance, as they flew off to stop El Toro Bruto, and with that, we end our episode off here.
