## Plot

The episode starts with Bailey and Gretel, at their table together, while Arthur walked in, joining them at their table, "Hi Gretel." he said, while Bailey noticed him, "So this Art huh?" she asked, while Gretel nodded, "Yeah, his family just recently moved here." she replied, while Bailey smiled, "You have powers too?" asked Bailey, while Art was surprised, as Gretel took his hand, causing him to be blush a bit, "It's fine, she knows I have powers like you too." she explained, much to Art's surprise, while Art took his seat, next to Gretel, while Bailey was surprised, "This is so cool!" Bailey said, "I have two superhero friends as well!" she said, while Gretel and Arthur tried to get her to be quiet about it, when the bell rang, with class starting, as their teacher came into the classroom, "Class, today we have a new student today." Ms. Jamanpour said, introducing a boy with black hair, a tan complexion, and amber eyes, with a cage having two hamsters inside of it, "Please welcome, Cole Foster." the teacher said, as Cole waved to them, "Hello." he said, waving to the class, "Why don't you take your seat next to Bailey and her friends." Ms. Jamanpour said, while Cole smiled, "Sure." he said, taking his seat next to Bailey, but when he first saw her, he had a slight blush, but was able to hide it from her, yet Gretel was curious about the boy, "Hey Cole, I'm Gretel, this is Bailey, and this is Art." she said, introducing herself and her friends, "Nice to meet you." Cole said, "Kind of nice to be able to make some friends already." he said, while Ms. Jamanpour took her seat at her desk, "Class, today Cole has something to show us." she said, while Cole smiled, standing in front of the class, "These are my two hamsters, Snickers and Angel." he said, showing the class his pet hamsters, "They're my pet hamsters and they really get along with each other too." he added, while Gretel was a bit suspicious of the boy and his hamsters, "You okay?" asked Art, while Gretel thought of something, "Don't you kind of find it weird that Cole has two hamsters, just like you and I do, and that he suddenly was happy to sit next to Bailey?" she asked, while Art thought about it, "I'm sure he's just a nice guy." he replied, while Gretel sighed, "I know, but something tells me that he might be trying to steal Bailey from me." she said, "I've had that happen to me before once." she added, "You sure you're not being a bit paranoid?" Art asked, while Gretel groaned in frustration, "Come on Gretel, you won't lose me to someone who just got here." Bailey said, while Gretel looked to her, "You mean it Bailey?" she asked, while Bailey nodded, "Of course." she replied, "I won't leave you for someone new, besides, we're best friends." she said, while Gretel was surprised, but still had her suspicions, as they went through their classes.

After they had their classes, Bailey and Gretel went to the school bus, they went over to board the bus, while they got on, they stopped at the bus stop, where they got off, as they were about to leave, when a monster rat robot came out of the ground, as the rat roared a robotic roar, while Bailey was surprised by this, "Gretel, Art, you guys go, I'll cover for Cole." she whispered, but soon noticed that Cole was gone, along with his hamsters, "Where are Cole and his hamsters?" Gretel asked, when a hero came into the scene, with two hamsters in hero costumes of their own, much to the surprise of Bailey, Gretel, and Art, as the rat burglar scowled in her mechanical rat robot, "Oh, well look what we have here, three new treats for my new rat robot!" Rat Burglar said, while the hero smirked, "The name's Cyber Force, and these are Fire Paws and Snow Angel!" Cyber Force said, while he grinned, as Fire Paws cracked his knuckles, "Oh, you're going to be toast when I get my paws on you!" he said, as the Rat Burglar smirked, "Bring it on, rat meat!" she replied, while Cyber Force smirked, "You're gonna regret saying that." he said, while Fire Paws scowled, as Gretel and Arthur realized this was their chance, as they went off to hide and change to their hero costumes, while Fire Paws scowled, his paws igniting in flames, as he flew in, knocking the rat robot back, while Rat Burglar scowled, "You're toast you flaming gerbil!" she cried out, only for Cyber Force to smirk, "Oh, you're toast now." he said, with a grin on his face, as Rat Burglar scowled, "Oh, what's the gerbil going to do about it, get me nice and warm?" she asked, while Fire Paws scowled in rage, his body igniting in pure rage, flames surrounding him, "NOBODY, CALLS ME A GERBIL!!!!!!!!!" he cried out, as he charged in, his paws ablaze with fire, as he struck the robot, knocking it hard onto its back, while he continued punching it, engulfed in flames, while Rat Burglar smirked under her helmet, "Do your worst you overgrown fur ball!" she cried out, but soon felt that the spot in front of her was heating up, glowing red hot, while Snow Angel smirked, "You know he's just going to keep going if you provoke him even more." she added, while Hamster, Gretel, Draw-Star, and Poly-Morph flew in, surprised by this, while Snow Angel went to grab Fire Paws, her paws and body incased in ice, while she grabbed the flaming hamster, "Calm down Fire Paws, it's time to cool off." she said calmly, while Cyber Force smirked, ready to fight, manifesting video energy swords, ready to join in, while the Rat mech got back up, "Ah, Hamster, Gretel, and... I'm sorry, who are you two exactly?" she asked, while Ploy-Morph scowled, "I'm Poly-Morph, and this is Draw-Star, and we'll be joining in your butt kicking today!" she said, while Hamster sighed, "This is why I am the one who doesn't talk much." he said, while Poly-Morph smirked, "Well, I'm just gonna be the one who kicks this creep's tail!" she replied, as she charged in, smirking, turning to a gorilla like form, as she punched the robotic creature, only to hurt her hands on the machine, "Ow!" she said, turning back to her normal form, as the others watched in surprise, while Rat Burglar smirked, "Oh, I forgot to mention, this thing is made of a strong metal that I found a few weeks ago!" she said, while Snow Angel realized something, "I got an idea, but it will require Fire Paw's help." she said calmly, while Fire Paws smirked, "Lay it on me!" he replied, as Snow Angel whispered it into his ear, while Fire Paws smirked, "Oh, this is gonna be fun!" he said, cracking his paws, while Rat Burglar scowled, "Are you finished yet, cause it's time to fall!" she said, while the group dodged the attack, as Snow Angel took a breath, blowing some ice on the mech, causing it to freeze in place, while Rat Burglar smirked, "Freezing me up, that's your best plan?" she asked with a prideful grin, as Fire Paws grinned, "Oh, that's just the first part!" he said, while Rat Burglar was confused, "The first part of what exactly?" she asked, while Fire Paws smirked, "Of this." he replied, while he took a breath, and breathed flames onto the robotic mech, thawing it out instantly, "What was that exactly?" she asked in confusion, while Gretel realized something, "Hey Rat Burglar, seems like you're robot wasn't made for water!" she exclaimed, while Rat Burglar was confused, "What are you..." she started to say, before her robot's controls started to short out, with water leaking into the control area, causing the robot to short and spark out of control, while Hamster still had his stoic look on his face, "And this, is why you should always water proof your robotic creations." he said, while Gretel smirked, "Wanna do the honors?" she asked, looking towards Cyber Force, "Wait, you mean me?" he asked, while Gretel nodded, causing Cyber Force to smile, as he flew towards the mech, "I've always wanted to do this." he said, warming up a punch, "GIANT RAT MECH PUNCH!!!!" he exclaimed, as the floating words appeared over him, while he delivered a punch to the robot, knocking it off balance, landing on its back, as it tried to get back up again, "Oh come on!" the Rat Burglar said in annoyance, "I thought it was odd this thing was top heavy!" she said, as Cyber Force flew into the scene, forming virtual energy swords, slicing through the part of the mech, pulling out the Rat Burglar from the wreckage, as Draw Star grabbed the mech with Gretel, moving it out of the way, with Rat Burglar held by Cyber Force, as the cops came and took her away, putting her in handcuffs, while she was carted away, "You're caught in jail now Rat Burglar!" he said, when a news team came over, with cameras rolling and Veronica Hill ready with her mike, "Veronica Hill, with the newest hero trio to grace the city, who call themselves, Cyber Force, Fire Paws, and Snow Angel." she said, walking over to the group, "Tell us, what has brought you three here?" she asked, as Cyber Force smiled, "Well, we came here to help Hamster, Gretel, and her friends take on any villain they come across here." Cyber Force replied, while Draw-Star and Gretel, along with their hamsters, were surprised, while Bailey thought it was strange,
