Narrator: The town of Citysville...Citysville?  Ah yes.  Citysville!

Camera pans through Citysville as the narrator speaks.  We focus on the day to day activities of the citizens.

Narrator: A bustling metropolis filled with the lively citizens of Citysville.  Commuting, working, playing, these lucky people are at the center of it all.  That is, until one day...

Flashback of "Town and Out" when the PowerPuff Girls blew up the bridge.

Narrator: Ooooh, that's gotta hurt!  But hey, everyone is entitled to make a mistake once in a while.  Even superheroes...right?

We see the Professor driving his car over the Citysville bridge just like in "Town and Out."  The PowerPuff Girls are sitting in the back seat.    Buttercup is annoyed.

Buttercup: I still don't see why we had to come along.
   
Professor: Now Buttercup, you can't let one bad experience prevent you from enjoying all that Citysville has to offer.  I want you girls to expand your horizons.  See new things.  Rub elbows with new people.  Besides, we won't be there for long.  The inventors' convention is only one day.  As soon as it's over, we'll head straight back for home.
   
Blossom: I hope so Professor.  I'm a little nervous leaving Townsville to fend for itself.  What if MoJo JoJo attacks?
   
Professor: Don't worry Blossom.  I think they can get along for one day without the PowerPuff Girls.

Bubbles turns to her sisters.

Bubbles:

Do you think they're still mad at us?
   
Blossom: They've probably forgotten all about it, Bubbles.  Besides, they already fixed the bridge.

Bubbles looks out the car window.  She looks down at the road and realizes they are driving on the new bridge.

Bubbles: Oh yeah!  The mayor was so sad.  He didn't know where he was going to get the money to build another bridge.
   
Buttercup: Who cares about their crummy bridge!  Do you realize we can't use our super powers in Citysville?
   
Blossom: Oh, it's only for one day.  It'll be fun!  We can ride the subway, walk through the streets, see the sights.

Bubbles begins to smile.  Buttercup, however, is still not convinced.  Blossom rolls down the window and pokes her head out slightly to get a better view of the city.

Blossom: Look out Citysville, here we come!

Blossom looks up.  Something catches her eye.  We see an overhead shot of the car as it's traveling over the bridge.  A shadow begins to slowly engulf the car.  We see Blossom staring in awe at something on top of the bridge.  The straight edge of the shadow cast by the object travels up and over her face.

We go back to the inside of the car.  Bubbles and Buttercup are looking at Blossom.  They begin to wonder what she is staring at.

Bubbles: What is it, Blossom?
   
Buttercup: Yeah, what are you looking at?

Blossom doesn't move.  She answers her sisters with her head still halfway out the window.

Blossom: Girls, you're not going to believe it!

Bubbles and Buttercup rush over to the window.  They jockey for position along either side of Blossom to get a look at whatever it is she's so captivated with.  Bubbles and Buttercup almost immediately join Blossom in slack jawed amazement at the sight high on top of the bridge.  We zoom over to the top of the bridge and see a giant golden plaque.  The plaque is in dedication to the RowdyRuff Boys for their help in rebuilding the Citysville bridge.  On the plaque is an image of the boys faces etched in gold.  The girls move back inside the car.

Bubbles: Wow!  They rebuilt the bridge?
   
Buttercup: Wait-a-minute!  How could they have done all this?
   
Blossom: Maybe Citysville repealed the law banning super powers?
   
Buttercup: When we tried to help, the mayor practically threw us out of town.  Why would he let them?
   
Blossom: Oh, what's the difference.  At least they kept out of trouble.

The car begins to enter the city.  The girls poke their heads out the window again.  They are shocked at what they see.  Images of the RowdyRuff Boys are plastered all over the place.  Billboards, magazines, toys, t-shirts; just about everything in sight has their picture on it.

Bubbles: Everyone seems so happy and nice.
   
Blossom: It's as if the entire town has been brainwashed!
   
Buttercup: Yeah.  Maybe the RowdyRuff Boys have some kind of mind control device and turned everyone into zombies!
   
Blossom: Well, whatever it is, we'd better check it out...for the good of the people!

Just then, the car stops.

Professor: Weeeerrrrre heeeeere!

Professor Utonium and the PowerPuff Girls exit the car.  The Professor turns to the girls to say goodbye.

Professor: Now, you girls go and enjoy yourselves.  I'll meet you back here in a few hours.  Have fun!

The Professor enters the convention oblivious to the cacophony of RowdyRuff Boys images and merchandise surrounding him.

Professor: Ah, good 'ol Citysville.  You never change.

The girls watch the Professor leave.  They then confer with each other on finding the RowdyRuff Boys.

Blossom: Hmmmm, where should we start looking?
   
Buttercup: I bet you they have a secret headquarters high on top of a giant mountain armed with robot attack dogs and laser cannons!

Bubbles looks over at a crowd of people (off camera).  Bubbles points them out to her sisters.

Bubbles: Maybe they know where we can find them.

Blossom and Buttercup look over to where Bubbles is pointing.  We zoom over to see a large crowd of mostly young girls huddled around the main entrance to a deluxe high-rise building.  They are all screaming for the RowdyRuff Boys.  The PowerPuff Girls walk over to investigate.  Blossom taps one of the onlooker's shoulders and asks her what's going on.

Blossom: Excuse me.  Do you know where we can find the RowdyRuff Boys?
   
Fan #1: Ohmygosh!  Oh-my-gosh!  Don't you know?!
   
Blossom: Know what?
   
Fan #1: They'll be here any second!  All three of them!  I've been waiting here since this morning!
   
Fan #2: Brick is my favorite.  He's the leader!
   
Fan #1: Oh, puleeze!  I'll take Butch any day!  He's soooo cute when he's mad!

Blossom turns to her sisters and shrugs her shoulders.  Bubbles looks back at Blossom with the same confused expression.  Buttercup scowls with her arms crossed.  Just then, the sound of a car approaching whips the crowd in a frenzy.

Fan #3: It's them!  They're here!

A stretch limousine pulls up in front of the building.  Two rather large and menacing bodyguards stand in wait along either side of the limousine door waiting for it to open.  We switch back to a view of the crowd.  The PowerPuff Girls fly up and hover above the crowd to get a better look.  We switch back to the limo.  The door opens and Brick steps out.  The crowd goes wild.  Brick has on a pair of dark sunglasses.  He waves to his adoring fans as he walks into the building.  The PowerPuff Girls look on in amazement.

Blossom: This is unreal!

Next, Boomer exits the limo.  As he walks into the building, he throws kisses to the fans.  We see one girl pass out.

Buttercup: You gotta be kidding me!

Lastly, Butch exists the limo.  On his way into the building, he stops and throws a few mock karate punches and kicks.  The crowd goes crazy.  Butch waves in response to the roar of the crowd and continues inside.  After he enters, the doors to the building slam shut.  We switch back to the PowerPuff Girls still hovering over the crowd.

Bubbles: Maybe they really did become superheroes.
   
Blossom: I guess it's possible.

Just then, a policeman shouts up to the girls.

Policeman: Hey!  You three!  Get down here now!

The girls float down and confront the policeman to find out what the problem is.

Blossom: Officer, we were just...
   
Policeman: City ordnance strictly forbids the use of super powers within the limits of Citysville!  Failure to comply will result in...
   
Buttercup: Yeah, yeah.  We get the picture!

The PowerPuff Girls touch down to avoid any further problems with the law.  All three girls are visibly annoyed.

Bubbles: They aren't superheroes!
   
Buttercup: And if they aren't superheroes...
   
Blossom: Then they must be master criminals out to take advantage of these unsuspecting people!  We've got to find out their plans!

Blossom looks around and spots an alley that leads behind the building.

Blossom: Come on!  Follow me.

The girls sneak into the dimly lit alley.  They whisper to one another.

Buttercup: Now what?
   
Blossom: We fly up to the top of the building and see if we can get in from there.
   
Bubbles: Isn't that illegal?
   
Blossom: We have to Bubbles.  It's for the good of the citizens.  Let's go.

The three girls take off quietly.  When they reach the top of the building, they are surprised to see a lavish penthouse.  There is an outdoor pool, with fountains, and various sculptures.  The inside of the apartment is enclosed by giant panes of glass including a set of giant glass doors that lead outside to the pool area.

Bubbles: Wow!  Who lives here?
   
Blossom: Maybe it's the mayor's house.

The girls peer inside the sumptuous apartment and see the RowdyRuff Boys relaxing inside.  The camera does one of those fast zoom-ins five times on the boys.  Brick is lounging on the couch reading a book on high finance.  Boomer is sitting next to a sun lamp with one of those old fashioned sun reflectors trying to get a tan.    Butch has a pair of boxing gloves on and is pounding away on a giant punching bag.

Buttercup: That must be it!  The RowdyRuff Boys took over Citysville from the mayor!
   
Bubbles: We've got to stop them!
   
Blossom: Alright girls, we're going in!

The girls smash through the glass doors to confront the RowdyRuff Boys.

RRBs: PowerPuff Girls!
   
Blossom: The jig is up RowdyRuff Boys!
   
Bubbles: We know what you're up to!
   
Buttercup: So you better give up, or else!

The RowdyRuff Boys seem to be more concerned about the destruction of their property and invasion of privacy rather than the foiling of any evil plans.  Brick kneels down next to the shattered remains of the glass doors.

Brick: Oh, my beautiful doors!  They were imported from Italy!
   
Boomer: I don't believe this!  What's this city coming to?  You can't even feel safe in your own home anymore!
   
Butch: How did you get past security?!  I swear, I'm going to fire the entire staff this time!
   
Blossom: Don't try to be cute with us!  What did you guys do with the mayor?!
   
Boomer: The mayor?  He's not supposed to be here until 3 o'clock.  What do you want with him?
   
PPGs: Huh?

The PowerPuff Girls are puzzled.  They press for answers.

Blossom: Hang on a second everybody!  Let's start from the beginning.  What have you done to the people of Citysville?
   
Buttercup: Yeah!  How come they fawn all over you guys?!
   
Bubbles: And how did you get this nice place to live?
   
Blossom: And what about the bridge?!
   
Buttercup: And the fan club?!
   
Bubbles: And the t-shirts?!
   
Blossom: And the bumper stickers?!
   
Buttercup: And the billboards?!
   
Bubbles: And the toys?!

Brick can't take anymore of this incessant questioning.

Brick: Quiet!!!

The PowerPuff Girls quiet down, but stare crossly at Brick waiting for an explanation.

Brick: Let me get this straight.  You girls don't know about us?

The girls look at each other briefly, then go back to staring down the boys.

Butch: Geez, where have you been?  Under a rock?
   
Boomer: We're the biggest stars Citysville has ever known!

The PowerPuff Girls are in shock.  They respond in unison...

PPGs: Stars?!!!

The boys have a smug expression as they each explain.

Butch: You got it!  We've got the number one show on TV!
   
Boomer: And the largest fan club around!
   
Brick: And we're rich too!
   
Blossom: But I thought you guys wanted to be superheroes?
   
Brick: We are!  Check this out.

Brick picks up a remote control and presses a button.  A giant screen comes down over the far wall.  The lights dim and we begin to see the boys TV show being projected on the screen.  The show is basically a cheesy Japanese "live action" kids show like the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers.  All the villains are dressed so poorly that it's obvious that it's just some guys in rubber monster suits stomping around.  We watch a sample of one of the episodes:

All three RowdyRuff Boys are dressed in ridiculous outfits that look like something out of a bad Japanese cartoon.  Each boy's outfit is the same color as in real life: Brick is red, Boomer is blue, and Butch is green.

They are all standing at attention, facing the viewer.  Brick then shouts...

Brick:

Scientific Ninja Task Force Excitement Team, Ho!

The three boys start posing in ridiculous ways for no apparent reason.    We then focus on Boomer.

Boomer:

Red leader!  The evil Dr. Kenyom is contacting us!
   
Brick: Put him on the nega-viewer!

Boomer pulls out a prop which looks suspiciously like an old tape recorder from the 60s.  He turns a few knobs and out shoots a very fake looking triangular beam of light that creates an equally fake looking projection of Dr. Kenyom.  Dr. Kenyom seems to dress a heck of a lot like MoJo JoJo.  Every time Dr. Kenyom speaks, his lips do not sync up with the words coming from his mouth.

Dr. Kenyom:

Carnage McCrick!  We meet again!
   
Brick: What do you want this time Kenyom?!
   
Dr. Kenyom:

I have developed a special laser that will turn everyone into hamsters!  If my demands are not met, I shall turn everyone on your pitiful planet into hamsters!
   
Butch: You'll never get away with this Kenyom!
   
Dr. Kenyom: Oh won't I?!  Muhahahaha.

Dr. Kenyom pulls a lever and a beam of fake lightning blasts from the top of this antenna-type doohickey mounted on his evil fortress.  The beam circumnavigates across the globe turning people all over the world into hamsters.

Brick: The fiend!  Scientific Ninja Task Force Excitement Team!  We must stop Dr. Kenyom and rescue the Earth.
   
Butch and Boomer: Ho!!!

The RowdyRuff Boys again start posing for no apparent reason and then take off.  On the way to the villain's castle, they see a giant lizard type monster stomping around.  The fire coming from its mouth is "painted-in" using cheap special effects and is accompanied by real sparks shooting out from inside the costume.  You never see the boys and the monster in the same frame since they were shot separately.

Butch:

Commander!  Dr. Kenyom has released a RoboBeast on Ginger Island!
   
Brick: We must stop it!

The boys land and strike a defensive pose.

Brick: Scientific Ninja Task Force Excitement Team!  Blaster fire!

The boys flail their arms a bit and pretend to shoot an energy blast from their hands.  Fake looking energy blasts shoot out and in the next frame hit the monster.    The monster moves around a bit to make it seem like it was hit by something and then falls over.

Butch: Ha!  Got him!
   
Brick: Excellent work!
   
Boomer: Commander, what about Dr. Kenyom!
   
Brick: Of course!  Let's go team!

They all take off again.  They smash through the roof of the castle and land inside Dr. Kenyom's lab.  The RowdyRuff Boys stand triumphantly with their elbows bent outwards and their fists on their hips.

Dr. Kenyom: Scientific Ninja Task Force Excitement Team!  How did you get past my RoboBeast?!
   
Brick: You're finished Dr. Kenyom!
   
Dr. Kenyom: Not quite McCrick!

Dr. Kenyom pulls a lever.  A fake looking ray coming from who-knows-where flickers across the screen.  A few well placed smoke bombs embedded in the floor go off.  The boys throw themselves on the ground in acrobatic fashion to simulate being knocked down.  Five henchmen pop out of nowhere to do battle with the boys.  The henchmen seem to be half-alien and half ninja.  Dr. Kenyom escapes in the confusion.  The boys use overly dramatic karate moves to finish off the evil henchmen.

Butch: He escaped again!
   
Brick: Never mind him!  We've got to reverse the effects of this ray!
   
Boomer: Look at the top of the emitter!  A giant ceramic hamster!
   
Brick: Destroy it on my mark!  3...2...1...fire!

The boys pretend to fire a beam of energy at the ceramic hamster.  A stock explosion is superimposed on the ceramic hamster in an attempt to make it look like it blew up.

Boomer: We did it!
   
Butch: We'll get you Kenyom...next time!

Scene changes to the Scientific Ninja Task Force Excitement Team's lair.  The boys are talking to a disembodied head suspended on a table.  Every time the head speaks, his lips do not sync up with the words coming from his mouth.

Brick:

General Serfspoor!  We have defeated the evil forces of Dr. Kenyom once again!
   
Sefspoor: Excellent job Scientific Ninja Task Force Excitement Team!  One day we shall finally rid ourselves of Dr. Kenyom and restore peace to the galaxy.

Boomer smiles for the camera.

Boomer: The Scientific Ninja Task Force Excitement Team vows to protect and serve all the citizens of the universal alliance!

Butch throws a few punches in the air when he speaks.

Butch: And the next time Dr. Kenyom attacks, the Scientific Ninja Task Force Excitement Team will be ready for him!

Brick poses triumphantly and mugs for the camera.

Brick: That's right!  The Scientific Ninja Task Force Excitement Team never lose!

All three boys throw their fists in the air and shout...

RRBs: Ho!!!

Scene changes with all three boys posed together in front of an animated background.  Cue narrator.

Narrator: Once again...the day is saved by...the Scientific Ninja Task Force Excitement Team!  Ho!!!

The episode ends, the lights begin to come back on, and the giant projection screen retracts back up into the ceiling.  The PowerPuff Girls just stand there in shock for a second or two.  They then simultaneously burst into laughter.  The RowdyRuff Boys are a bit annoyed at the girls' response.

Butch: What's so funny?!
   
Bubbles: An evil scientist turning everyone into animals?  That's silly!  Hahahaha.
   
Buttercup: Fighting a giant monster "RoboBeast"?!   How corny can you get?!  Hahahaha.
   
Blossom: Yeah, and how did everyone go back to normal just by blowing up the statue?  It makes no sense!  Hahahahaha.

The girls continue laughing for a second.  Simultaneously, all three girls realize something very familiar about the story and stop laughing.  The PowerPuff Girls begin to question each other with a very suspicious tone in their voices.

Buttercup: Hey!  Wait a minute!
   
Bubbles: There's something very familiar about that Dr. Kenyom.
   
Blossom: Yeah!  And what about...

Brick interrupts Blossom to change the subject.

Brick: Never mind any of that.  The point is we're superheroes!
   
Boomer: We fight for justice and liberty across the galaxy!
   
Butch: And we're number one!
   
Buttercup: You guys aren't superheroes!
   
Bubbles: Yeah!  Those aren't real monsters.
   
Blossom: It's all fake!
   
Brick: Ah...but the results are real!
   
Blossom: What are you talking about?
   
Brick: When we came to Citysville, the town was in financial ruin.
   
Butch: Apparently somebody destroyed the only means of travel in and out of the city!

Butch stares crossly at the PowerPuff Girls since the boys all know it was the PowerPuff Girls that blew up the bridge.  The girls roll their eyes to avoid eye contact, trying to act nonchalant.

Boomer: Thousands of people were unemployed.  Homelessness was at an all time high.
   
Brick:

They mayor was in trouble!  We wanted to help, but super powers were outlawed.  You know, after the incident with the Citysville bridge that someone neglected to mention to us?

Blossom attempts to shift the focus of the conversation away from the bridge and back to the RowdyRuff Boys.

Blossom: I still don't see what any of this has to do with...
   
Brick: I'm getting to it.  Anyway, we realized the only way we could help and be superheroes was if we had our own TV show.  There's no law against super powers on TV!
   
Blossom: How does that help anyone but yourselves?
   
Brick: We saved the economy!  With the huge revenues generated from our hit show, the taxes Citysville collected helped make the rebuilding of the bridge possible.

Bubbles approaches Boomer.  She tries a more personal approach.

Bubbles: But I thought you wanted to help people?
   
Boomer: We are!  Our merchandising headquarters is located right here in Citysville.  We're employing thousands of people.  Now that the citizens can afford to live comfortably, crime has dropped to an all time low.

Buttercup turns to Butch.

Buttercup: I can't believe you would settle for fighting make-believe monsters and villains!
   
Butch: You think monsters are tough?!  Try keeping your ratings up on a network filled with competition.  It's a struggle just to stay on top!

Brick interjects.

Brick:

Besides...everyone loves us.  We're the biggest thing since Batman!
   
Butch: Yeah!  We've got more fans than you can shake a stick at!
   
Buttercup: Oh please...
   
Butch: It's true!  Watch this.

Butch walks over to the main entrance to the apartment.  He picks up a stick leaning on the wall next to the door.  Butch opens the door with the stick in hand .  Immediately, a sea of screaming fans push their way a few feet into the apartment.  The fans are in a frenzy.  Butch acts like a lion tamer swatting them back with the stick.

Butch: Back!...Back!...Back I say!  Back!

The fans continue to scream things like, "I love you Butch!" and such.  Butch slams the door pushing the entire crowd back into the hallway.  Butch puts the stick down and wipes his hands together.  He then turns back to the rest of the group.

Just then, a call comes in over a nearby intercom.  Brick answers.

Brick: Yes?
   
Secretary: The mayor is here for his 3 o'clock appointment.
   
Brick: Excellent.  Send him in.

The main door swings open and in walks the mayor.  He is beaming with pride and happiness.

Mayor: Well boys it's finally ready.  The parade will go down main street and end up at city hall.  I'll say a few words then hand you the key to the city.
   
Brick: Sounds great!
   
Mayor: Oh, it's the least I can do.  If it weren't for you boys, we would have never raised the three million dollars so quickly.  You saved our city!

The mayor shakes each of the boys hands as he speaks.  The mayor glances over and sees the PowerPuff Girls.  He becomes incensed that they are back.

Mayor: You three!  What are you doing back?
   
Blossom: We were...

Brick interrupts Blossom and finishes her sentence.

Brick: ...just leaving.  They're just some fans of ours, but they have to go now...

Brick stares crossly at the girls.

Brick: Right?

The girls are annoyed and decide to leave.

Blossom: Come on girls!  Let's get out of here.

The PowerPuff Girls silently walk out.  Butch waits by the front door for them to exit, then slams it shut behind them.

The girls are standing in the hallway leading up to the apartment.  We see a crowd of fans outside the door waiting to catch a glimpse of the RowdyRuff Boys.  The girls confer with one another next to the crowd.

Buttercup: What a bunch of jerks!
   
Blossom: Citysville can have 'em!  Let's go see if the Professor is back.

As they are leaving, Bubbles pauses when she overhears two of the fans talking.

Fan #4: Oooooh!  I think that was Boomer!
   
Fan #5: He's my favorite.  He's the cute one, you know.

Bubbles gives a dirty look to the fans and then continues on with her sisters.  They enter the elevator.  We see the three of them standing inside the elevator looking annoyed and frustrated over the day's events.  The elevator door closes.

Cut to outside.  The girls approach the car.  The Professor is waiting there for them.

Professor: Well...How did you girls like Citysville this time?

We look down on the girls from the Professor's point of view.  The girls don't answer.  They just look up at him crossly.  We switch back to the Professor.

Professor: Did you do anything interesting today?

Same angle as before.  The girls don't answer; they continue to look up at him crossly.

Professor: Anything new since the last time?

Same angle as before.  The girls don't answer; they continue to look up at him crossly.

Professor: Um...uh...see any celebrities?  You know, Citysville is the home to a lot of famous TV stars.

Same angle as before.  The girls don't answer; they continue to look up at him crossly.  The Professor looks at his watch in an attempt to change the subject.

Professor: Oh, uh, look at the time!  We'd better get back to Townsville.  Hopefully MoJo JoJo didn't try to rob the...bank...or...

Same angle as before.  The girls don't answer; they continue to look up at him crossly.  The Professor gives up trying to get a different reaction out of the girls.  Dejected, he simply states...

Professor: Come on everyone.  Let's head for home.

We cut to the car crossing over the bridge to Townsville.  We see the girls in the back seat talking amongst themselves.

Bubbles: What a bunch of phonies.
   
Blossom: And I can't believe how dumb the people of Citysville are.  Don't they realize it's just a stupid show?  What's the big deal?
   
Buttercup: Ha!  I'd like to see them fight real villains like we do.  They wouldn't last a day!
   
Blossom: Let's just forget about the whole thing.  I can't wait to get back home.

Just then, a monstrous roar shakes the entire car.  The girls poke their head out of the window and look up.  They see a giant lizard creature that bares a striking resemblance to the RoboBeast from the RowdyRuff Boys show.  The girls immediately snap into action.

Bubbles: A monster!
   
Buttercup: And it's attacking Townsville!
   
Blossom: Let's get him girls!

The three girls blast through the roof of the car.  The hole left is big enough for us to see the Professor in the driver's seat.  He looks up to see what's going on.

We switch to the PowerPuff Girls flying top speed in formation towards the monster.  Buttercup hits the monster first in the midsection.  Bubbles kicks the monster in the knee.  Blossom follows with a punch to the face that knocks the giant lizard down.  The monster is startled, but quickly gets back on his feet.  He lets out a powerful roar that creates a mini-windstorm.  The shear force of the wind knocks the girls back a few yards.  The monster stomps his feet causing some nearby buildings to collapse.  The girls fly straight for him again, but this time the monster swats them away.  The girls each smash into a different structure causing it to collapse or take on heavy damage.  The girls quickly recover and meet up with each other in the sky.  They all grit their teeth in anger.  Buttercup taunts the monster.

Buttercup: That's it!  You're going down!

The girls break off and attempt to attack from  three different directions.  The monster keeps an eye on each of them and swats them away one by one.  The girls go crashing into various buildings causing them to collapse or take on heavy damage.  The girls quickly recover and meet up with each other in the sky again.

Blossom: We're not getting anywhere like this.  We've got to concentrate our attack.  PowerPuff Girls!  Attack pattern formation delta-omega!

The girls take off top speed straight for the monster.  The monster gets ready to swat them away as before.  Just as they are about to reach him they break off in three different directions and go around him.  The monster swings and misses.  He turns around to get a look behind him.  Just as he does, he see the three girls coming straight for him.  POW!  All three PowerPuff Girls punch the giant lizard in the face sending him sailing over the horizon.  The three girls hover in mid-air triumphantly as they shout in the direction of the monster.

Bubbles: That's what you get for stomping on Townsville!
   
Buttercup: Don't come back!  'Cause next time we'll be ready for ya!
   
Blossom: The PowerPuff Girls never lose!

We see the monster as it continues to sail through the sky.  Eventually it lands in the river that separates Townsville and Citysville.  The monster is a bit dazed from the attack.  He stands up and begins to stumble around.  The camera shows us what the monster sees from his perspective.  His vision is a bit blurred.  It's difficult for him to make out where he is.  The monster turns towards Citysville and begins to attack thinking he is still in Townsville.  The citizens of Citysville see the monster and begin to panic.

Citizen #1: Look!  A monster!
   
Citizen #2: We'll be crushed!
   
Citizen #3: Call 9-1-1!  Call 9-1-1!!!

We switch to the RowdyRuff Boys' penthouse apartment.  We see the boys lounging around, watching TV.  Just then, a special report flashes on the screen.

News Anchor: We interrupt your regularly scheduled broadcast to bring you footage of late breaking events!  We go now to our correspondent at the Citysville harbor.

The image on the TV changes to a reporter on the scene.

Reporter: I'm standing nearby the "New Citysville Bridge."  If you look to the left of me you will see what appears to be a giant lizard attacking Citysville!

The boys snap to and huddle together on the couch.  They watch in horror at the events unfolding before them.

Boomer: Those poor people!  Look at them run!
   
Brick: That monster smashed up an entire square block!  Our t-shirt factory was there!
   
Butch: This is ridiculous!  Why doesn't somebody do something?!

Just then, we see a group of army tanks line up and point their turrets at the monster.

Butch: Well finally!
   
Brick: I just hope they know what they're doing.

The tanks blast the monster.  A cloud of smoke rises obscuring the vision of everyone watching.  The RowdyRuff Boys wait in anticipation to see if the barrage of mortar fire was successful.  As the smoke begins to clear, we see the monster still standing, unphased.  He lets out a roar that shatters the windows of every building within a three block radius.  The people in the streets cover their ears from the deafening sound bellowed from the monster.  The monster then turns and sees the Citysville bridge, he begins to motion towards the bridge.

Brick: Oh no!  Not the bridge!  Anything but that!
   
Boomer: Dude!  I can't just sit here while this monster destroys everything we've worked so hard for.  Let's get him!
   
Butch: Yeah!  Let's kick his tail back to wherever he came from!
   
Brick: Wait!  If we go out there, then everyone will know we have real super powers!
   
Butch: So?
   
Brick: So that's it!  Our careers will be over!  We'll never get another job in this town.
   
Boomer: We just can't sit here.  That monster is gonna ruin everything!  If we save Citysville, everyone will still like us.
   
Butch: Yeah!  Everybody loves a hero.  If we play our cards right, we'll be set for life!
   
Brick: I don't know...It's too risky.

Just then, Brick glances over to the TV and sees the monster almost on top of the bridge ready to step on it.

Brick:

That does it!  Nobody steps on a bridge in my town!
   
Boomer: How should we attack?
   
Brick:

We'll use the old ways.  Speed of flight!  Hopefully we can do this without anyone ever realizing it was us.  Let's go!

The boys take off through the roof of their apartment.  They meet up with the monster a moment later and confront him.

Brick: Hey you!  What makes you think you can come into my town without an invitation?

The monster's vision is still a bit blurred.  We see through the monster's eyes the three boys hovering in the distance.  The monster mistakes the boys for the PowerPuff Girls.

Monster: Grrrr... PowerPuff Girls?!  Roooaaaarrrr!

The roar of the monster blows catches the boys off guard.  They get blown back a bit, but quickly regain control.

Brick: PowerPuff Girls?  I should of known!
   
Boomer: Those girls are nothing but trouble!
   
Butch: Enough talk!  Let's end this!
   
Brick: Wait!

Butch takes off despite Brick's warning.  He approaches the monster at full speed.  However, the monster is ready for him and swats him away.  Butch goes sailing into a skyscraper.  The skyscraper has a long pointy top with a huge straight antenna sticking out.  The top of the skyscraper snaps off and falls to the ground.  People run in fear as the top of the building smashes to the ground.  Brick and Boomer watch in horror as the top of the skyscraper falls.

Brick: No!!!  He just destroyed the broadcast antenna!  We're off the air!
   
Boomer: That oversized iguana is gonna pay!
   
Brick: Wait!  Wait!!!

Boomer takes off this time.  He tries for a low attack.  However, the monster kicks Boomer away.  Boomer goes sailing into a cargo ship.  The impact causes an explosion that sends thousands of boxes flying into the air.  As the ship sinks, we cut back to Brick.  Brick watches as the boxes rain down from the sky and splash into the water.  Brick looks down at one of the boxes and sees the cover.  It's a "Scientific Ninja Task Force Excitement Team Waffle Iron."

Brick:

Ahhh!!!  That was our number one seller!  Grrrr!

Butch and Boomer fly back and meet up with Brick.  Brick is incensed at the losses incurred due to his brothers' attempts to help.

Boomer: Dude!  We gotta come up with a plan!
   
Butch: Let's try splitting up.

Brick responds sarcastically.

Brick:

Right, we can cause more damage that way.
   
Boomer: Well we've got to do something!

Butch glances at the monster.  He shouts and points at what he sees.

Butch: Look!  Look!

All the boys turn their attention to the monster.  We see the monster moving back toward the bridge.

Brick:

Let's show this prehistoric lizard how we do things downtown!  But remember, don't damage the bridge!
   
Boomer and Butch: Let's do it!

All three boys take off towards the monster.  They buzz around its head in an attempt to distract him.  The monster swipes wildly at the boys but misses.  Finally, the monster connects with Butch and sends him sailing towards the bridge.  Brick sees this and intercepts Butch from colliding with the bridge.  Brick gently sets him down on the bridge.  Butch is still a bit dazed.  The monster turns his attention to Boomer and swats him down toward the bridge.  Brick takes off and intercepts Boomer from inadvertently destroying the bridge.  He sets Boomer down next to Butch.  Brick flies up right next to the monster's face and tries to reason with him.

Brick: Look, I don't know what your problem is, but could you please just leave!  We've got a pretty good thing going here and you're about to ruin everything for us!  So if you would be so kind, leave quietly before anything else is destroyed.

The monster is taken back by Brick's directness.  The monster ponders what's just been said for a moment.  The monster's expression changes back to anger and belts out a roar that knocks Brick back a few yards.  Brick quickly recovers and is incensed.  Brick lets out a roar of his own and takes off straight for the monster.  POW!  BANG!  BIFF!   The monster goes spinning around like a top.  Brick continues the onslaught.  However, the monster is now turned around and has his back to the bridge.  In Brick's rage, he doesn't realize his blows are sending the monster dangerously closer to the bridge.  The monster attempts one final swipe at Brick.  Brick dodges the monsters hand and rears back for a final blow.

Boomer and Butch begin to recover.  They look up and see Brick about to pound the monster.  In a slow motion sequence, they scream up to Brick, "No!!!".  But it's too late.  Brick unleashes a smashing blow to the monster's face.  He knocks the monster backwards.  Boomer and Butch take off in opposite directions to avoid being crushed.  The monster falls on top of the bridge crushing it to bits.  Brick realizes that he is responsible for inadvertently destroying the bridge he tried so hard to protect.  He slaps his face with both hands like Macaulay Culkin in "Home Alone."

Brick: What have I done?!

Boomer and Butch meet up with Brick.

Boomer: Oh man!  Wait until the mayor sees this!
   
Butch: I got a feeling he's not going to be happy.

Brick's expression changes from horror back to anger.

Brick: I've had it!  We're taking this thing back where it belongs!  Townsville!

The three boys fly under the monster and lift him up.  They speed off towards Townsville with the monster in tow.  The monster is in shock at what's occurring.

Scene changes to the PowerPuff Girls flying over Townsville.  The RowdyRuff Boys catch up with them and call out to them.

Brick: Hey!  You three!

The girls stop mid-air and turn around to see who's calling them.  They see the RowdyRuff Boys carrying the monster they vanquished earlier.

Boomer: I believe this belongs to you!
   
Butch: Keep him out of our backyard from now on!

The boys drop the monster then take off back to Citysville.  The girls can't believe their gall.

Blossom: The nerve of those guys!
   
Bubbles: What do they think?  We've got nothing better to do than clean up after their messes?
   
Buttercup: I guess the big stars can't be bothered with real superhero stuff!
   
Blossom: Well I'm not gonna stand for this!

The girls grab the monster and head for Citysville.  The girls pass the RowdyRuff Boys on the way.  The boys see them with the monster and take off after them.  The boys catch up with the PowerPuff Girls on the borderline between Townsville and Citysville.  The boys intercept the girls on the Citysville side and prevent them from going any further.

Brick: And what do you think you're doing?!
   
Blossom: Returning your monster!

The girls drop the monster with a thud on the borderline.  A pushing match involving the monster ensues.  Each group tries to push the monster in the direction away from their town.

Butch: Oh no!  He's not ours!

Butch pushes the monster towards Townsville.

Bubbles: Well he's certainly not ours!

Bubbles pushes the monster towards Citysville.

Boomer: You had him first!

Boomer joins Butch and pushes the monster back towards Townsville.

Buttercup: And you had him last!

Buttercup joins Bubbles and pushes the monster back towards Citysville.  The pushing match gets more violent.  The RowdyRuff Boys and PowerPuff Girls all join in to push the monster harder and harder back and forth across the border.

RRBs: He's yours!
   
PPGs: He's yours!
   
RRBs: Yours!
   
PPGs: Yours!
   
RRBs: Yours!!
   
PPGs: Yours!!
   
RRBs: YOURS!!!
   
PPGs: YOURS!!!

The monster's expression changes from shock to anger.  The monster stands up straight and pushes the three boys and three girls on either side of him away.

Monster: Enough!!!  I have had it!  I'm not a toy!  I've got feelings too, you know.  I know when I'm not wanted!  I'm outta here!

The PowerPuff Girls and RowdyRuff Boys look on in shock at the monster after his outburst.  They watch as the monster goes off traveling away from both towns.

The RowdyRuff Boys and PowerPuff Girls stare at each other crossly for a moment, then both groups leave to go back to their respective towns.  We focus on the RowdyRuff Boys as they fly back to Citysville.

Boomer: Dude, I've got a bad feeling about this.
   
Brick: Just let me do the talking.

The boys land on what remains of the bridge on the side of Citysville.  An angry mob is there waiting for them.

Citizen #1: There they are!
   
Citizen #2: Look what they did to our bridge!

Brick tries to calm everyone down.

Brick:

People of Citysville!  Fear no more!  Behold your saviors: the RowdyRuff Boys!  Here to stamp out crime and villainy and bring safety to all!

The citizens just stand there staring crossly at the boys.  Boomer whispers to Brick.

Boomer: Do you think they bought it?

Just then, one of the citizens speaks up.

Citizen #3: Let's get them!
   
Entire mob: Yeah!!!

The RowdyRuff Boys expressions change to fear.

Brick: Let's get out of here!

The boys take off.

Butch: This is bad.  Really bad!
   
Boomer: What are we going to do now?
   
Brick: Maybe we can smooth things over with the mayor.  Yeah, that's it!  We'll go see the mayor!

The boys speed up to the mayor's office.

Scene cuts to the inside of the mayor's office.  We see the three boys standing in front of the mayor's desk.  The mayor is standing by the window behind his desk looking out over the city.  He begins to speak with his back to the RowdyRuff Boys.

Mayor: Boys, I know what happened today was an accident.  I know you meant well and I wish I could just sweep this whole ugly mess under the carpet.
   
Brick: But?
   
Mayor: But...

The mayor takes a deep breath and turns around to face the boys.

Mayor: You see boys, I'm the mayor.  That means the citizens of this great town have entrusted me with a duty to uphold the law.  We have a law on our books, and it's a good one, preventing anyone from using super powers within the limits of Citysville.  You boys knew that, and you broke it.  Not to mention the bridge, a few skyscrapers, and a cargo ship!
   
Boomer: But we...
   
Mayor: No.  I'm sorry boys.  If it were up to me, I'd let this go with a warning.  But I just can't do it.  Listen...I haven't forgotten all that you've done for this fair city.  I'll make a deal with you.  If you three leave quietly, I think I can convince the District Attorney not to press any charges.  Providing of course you pay for all the damage you three have done.
   
Brick: Wha-wha-what's that gonna cost?!
   
Mayor: Nine million dollars.  Cash.
   
Brick: That's everything we own!
   
Mayor: It will be just enough to cover everything.  I'm sorry boys, but that's the best I can do.  What do you say?

The boys look at each other.  Brick reluctantly accepts the deal.

Brick: Okay mayor.  We'll do it.

The mayor gets teary-eyed.

Mayor: I'm gonna miss you guys!  You were the best thing to happen to this town!

The mayor hugs all of the RowdyRuff Boys.  The boys are a little uncomfortable with this outward display of emotion.  The RowdyRuff Boys nervously look at each other while caught up in the mayor's hug.  Brick reluctantly pats the mayor on the back to return the sign of affection.

Brick: I'm gonna miss you too, mayor.

The mayor composes himself.

Mayor: You boys have until six o'clock to leave town.  May fortune be with you!

The boys are depressed.  They slowly leave the mayor's office with their heads down.  Outside the mayor's office, the boys confer with each other.

Boomer: Dude!  Now what are we going to do?  We can't stay here anymore.
   
Butch: This stinks!  Those lousy PowerPuff Girls are over in Townsville fighting monsters all day without a care in the world!  Meanwhile, we're here, broke, homeless, and out of a job!
   
Brick: Hey!  That's it!  Guys, I have an idea...

Scene cuts to the Mayor's office in Townsville.  The Mayor is behind his desk.  Miss Bellum is standing next to him.  The RowdyRuff Boys are in front of the mayor's desk.  As the mayor speaks, we can see through the giant glass window in the Mayor's office the PowerPuff Girls fighting a monster.  We don't get a clear look at any of the girls, just the streaks of colored light they leave behind as they fly by back and forth.

Mayor: Boys, I'd love to try you out as superheroes, but Townsville already has three pint sized champions of justice.  The PowerPuff Girls!
   
Boomer: But mayor, we could help too!
   
Butch: Yeah!  We're stronger, faster, and tougher!
   
Brick: And more importantly...we work cheap!

The mayor chuckles.

Mayor:

I'm sorry boys, but there just isn't room in this town for two groups of crime fighting superheroes.  You'll just have to try somewhere else.

The RowdyRuff Boys leave the Mayor's office discouraged.  After they leave, the mayor continues talking to himself.

Mayor: Could you imagine that.  Two groups of superheroes in one town.  Why the whole idea is preposterous!

The mayor laughs himself silly.

Scene cut to the outside of MoJo's lair.  The boys are preparing themselves before knocking on MoJo's door.

Boomer: Dude!  This isn't going to work.
   
Butch: Shhh!  You wanna spoil it?
   
Brick: Okay, just let me do the talking!
   
Butch: Where have I heard that before?
   
Brick: Shhh!  Just keep smiling and everything will be fine.

Brick knocks on MoJo's door.  We focus on the door waiting for it to open.  We hear MoJo's footsteps getting closer and him grumbling something about unwanted visitors as he approaches the door.  It sounds like he's in a bad mood.  MoJo opens the door.  His expression soon changes to surprise and excitement when he realizes it's the RowdyRuff Boys.

MoJo: Boys!  You have returned!

We see the boys standing together with toothy grins on their faces, trying to be likeable.

Brick: H-Hey MoJo!
   
Boomer: It's been a while...h-hasn't it?
   
Butch: Uh, yeah.  You're looking...uh, good.
   
Mojo: Guys!  Come in!  Come in!

MoJo hustles the boys into his home.  MoJo is overjoyed.  He sits them on his couch and pulls up a chair for himself.  He begins pressing the boys to fill him in on what they have been up to all this time.

MoJo: I want you to tell me everything!  What have you guys been doing all this time?
   
Brick: Oh, this and that.  You know.
   
Boomer: Yeah, just hanging around...and stuff.
   
Mojo: And what about Citysville?  I heard that you were sent there after I was unjustly incarcerated by those meddling PowerPuff Girls.
   
Brick: Oh, uh, yeah.  We were there.
   
Butch: Yeah.  And, uh...we...

Butch figures out something to say that isn't "technically" a lie.  Brick quickly catches on and goes with it.

Butch: we...we had the entire town in the palms of our hands!
   
Brick: Yeah...yeah!  We were practically running the place!
   
MoJo: And?!!  And?!!
   
Butch: And, uh...ummm...Ah!  It was those PowerPuff Girls that ruined everything!
   
Boomer: Yeah, it was them...those PowerStuff...um, girls.
   
Brick: Oh you should have seen us.  We were magnificent!  But they foiled our, uh, plans...so to speak.

MoJo is brimming with excitement.  He jumps out of his chair.

MoJo: Boys!  You shall have your chance for revenge!  Now that we are together again, nothing can stop us!  With my genius and your powers, we shall rule Townsville!

MoJo runs off to his drawing board looking for an evil plan.  The boys get off the couch and begin to walk towards MoJo.  Boomer pulls his brothers aside.

Boomer: Guys.  We gotta tell him.
   
Brick: We will.  When the time is right.
   
Butch: And when's that ever going to be?
   
Brick: Oh, I dunno.  Maybe...three years?
   
Boomer: Dude, be serious!  He's going to find out sooner or later.
   
Brick: I guess your right.  I just hope he takes it better than I suspect.

We see MoJo searching feverishly for one of his infamous plans.  The boys approach MoJo to tell him something important.

MoJo: Where is that plan!  I can never find anything when I need it.
   
Brick: Uh, MoJo.

MoJo continues to search for his plan while mumbling to himself.

Brick: MoJo?

MoJo doesn't seem to hear Brick.

Brick: MoJo!

This time he gets MoJo's attention.  MoJo is mildly annoyed.

MoJo: Yes!  What is it?
   
Brick: Um, there's something we need to tell you.
   
MoJo: Well?  What is it?
   
Brick: Oh, it's nothing really.
   
Boomer: Just thought you'd like to know.  That's all.
   
MoJo: Yes?
   
Brick: Well you see.  Uh.  When we were in Citysville.  We were...hmmm, how shall I put this?  We were, uh...
   
Butch: Oh for cry-not-loud!  We were superheroes!  We fought on the side of good.  There!  I said it!
   
Brick: Uh, yeah.  Superheroes.  So...we can't be involved in anything evil.
   
Boomer: But the important thing is that we're back and we want to stay with you.  Won't that be nice?

The RowdyRuff Boys flash MoJo another one of their toothy smiles.  MoJo is dumbfounded.  He just stands there with a shocked expression on his face.  A few moments later, the shock wears off.

MoJo: GET OUT!!!  GET OUT!!!

MoJo begins to push the boys out of the house.

Brick: Wait-a-minute!  Can't we still be friends?
   
MoJo: No!
   
Butch: Can't we all just get along?
   
MoJo: No!!
   
Boomer: MoJo, you can't just throw us out.  We're your sons.  Remember?

By this time, all three boys are outside MoJo's front door.

MoJo:

Sons?!  I have no sons!!!

As MoJo says this, he grabs his chest where his heart is located and rips his shirt.  MoJo begins bawling as he slams the door shut.  The RowdyRuff Boys are depressed once again.

Scene cuts to the boys flying over Townsville.  

Boomer: This is the worst day of my life.
   
Brick: We had it all.  What happened?
   
Butch: I know!  It was those rotten PowerPuff Girls!
   
Brick: No, it's not their fault.  It was that stupid lizard!  If he didn't attack, none of this would have ever happened.
   
Boomer: Yeah!  We'd still be in our penthouse suite!
   
Butch: Living the good life!
   
Brick: Making money!  Gobs and gobs of money!  Oh man...it was sweet.

As the boys are flying, they do not notice that they are leaving Townsville.  We see a sign that states, "You are now entering Countysville."

Butch: If I ever see that lizard again, I'll tear him limb from limb!
   
Boomer: I'll rip out his tonsils!
   
Brick: Ooooh, just give me five minutes alone!  That's all I ask!

As the boys fantasize about what they will do if they ever meet up with the monster again, they are startled by a familiar roar.  They stop mid-air and look in the direction the roar came from.  There as plain as day is the monster.  He's up to his old tricks.  However, this time, it's Countysville he's terrorizing.  When the boys see him, they freak.

RRBs: YOU!!!!!!!!
   
Butch: You're doomed!!!
   
Boomer: You're finished!!!
   
Brick: You're MINE!!!

The monster looks up in shock at the RowdyRuff Boys.  His expression changes quickly to one of impending doom.  For a moment, his puppy dog eyes almost makes us feel sorry for him.  The boys unleash an onslaught of punches, kicks, and laser blasts.  The monster is knocked senseless.  Finally the boys group together for a final combined blow.  The rear back and fly straight for the monster.

Monster: Oh no!  Not again!  Mommy!

POW!  The boys send the monster sailing towards Citysville.  The boys all have a smug expression.  They begin a sarcastic exchange with each other.

Boomer: Oh my, I do believe we knocked that monster all the way to Citysville.  I wonder what they're going to do without us there?
   
Butch: Oooh, I don't know.  But we'd better not find out!  They don't allow super powers in Citysville.  Remember?  We wouldn't want to break any of their laws now, would we?
   
Brick: Oh no.  We wouldn't want to do that.  I'm sure their big bad tanks will stop him.
   
Boomer: Yeah, and I'm sure they won't wreck half the town in the process!

The RowdyRuff Boys all start laughing uncontrollably for a few seconds.  The boys look down and notice a crowd forming.

Butch: Now what?
   
Brick: Here we go again.
   
Boomer: Maybe if we apologize right away, they'll let us stay the night.
   
Brick: I suppose it's worth a shot.  What do we have to lose?

Butch throws in a dig.

Butch: Nothing!  We've already lost it all!

Brick responds sarcastically.

Brick: Oh, real funny!  Come on.  Let's get this over with.

The boys touch down in the middle of the crowd.  They are surrounded by citizens.  They wait pensively for one of them to speak up.  Just then, the mayor of Countysville approaches the boys.  She is tall and pretty, but very professional looking.

Mayor: Hello and welcome!  As the mayor of Countysville, I want to thank you for getting rid of that awful monster!
   
Brick: You do?
   
Mayor: Absolutely!  I'm going to award you boys with the key to the city!
   
Boomer: You are?
   
Mayor: Of course!  It's the least we can do for such brave lads!  So where do you boys come from?
   
Brick: Well, we're kind of on our own.
   
Butch: Yeah, we got kicked out of every place we've been so far.
   
Boomer: We're all alone with no place to stay.

The crowd responds.

Crowd: Awwww.

The mayor continues.

Mayor: That's terrible!  Well, you boys can stay here for as long as you like.  But only on one condition...

The boys are a bit apprehensive considering all they've been through.

Brick: What?
   
Mayor: That you promise to use your super powers to save Countysville from harm.
   
Butch: That's it?  Yeah!  We can do that!
   
Boomer:

The RowdyRuff Boys vow to protect and serve all the citizens of the Countysville 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!
   
Butch: No job is too big!
   
Brick: No fee is too big.
   
Mayor: It's settled then!
   
Crowd: Hooray!

Scene changes to the standard PowerPuff Girls ending sequence. Cue Narrator.

Narrator: Well, how about that!  Try not to let it go to your heads, boys.  Once again, the day is saved, by...the PowerPuff Girls!  And... the Scientific Ninja Task Force Excitement Team!  Err, uh, I mean...The RowdyRuff Boys!  Ho!!!

Cue credits.
