P-Nuts Protectors Recap
The story of the P-Nuts Protectors begins with a loud siren. A gas leak has occurred at Birchwood Junior High, leaving all of the students, faculty, and other random citizens in the building at the time, including younger kids at a rally, struggling to breath, in horrible pain and many unconscious. Detective Morgan arrives at the scene alongside Police Chief Warbler, and surveys the Hazmat team trying to rescue everyone. The two enter the gas-filled building with special suits to assess the damage, seemingly being watched by a shadowy figure at one point. The two discover a casket in a janitors closet which released the gas that swept through the building via the air ducts. They discover that the casket belongs to JoGate Industries, a company belonging to Joesph Agate sr and Mason Jones, two shady business men who apparently have much influence on the town, but are much disliked by Morgan and Warbler. Having got all the information they needed, the duo left the school, discussing the tragedy and other matters, including the rise in crime that's plaguing the city. They also talked about Morgan's personal history, in particular the story about how Detective Morgans wife, who had been an employee at Jogate, had passed away in years passed and how Jogate never paid the family her final paycheck, or gave any kind of compensation. They also discuss Mrs Reichard, the mother of Peppermint Patty who had also been a Jogate employee and was murdered mysteriously several years ago, and Morgan expresses his guilt at never being able to find the murderer like he promised her daughter and Mr Reichard. Some rumours suggest Jogate might have been responsible. The two discuss filing a claim against JoGate for the incident and comfort one another in the wake of this tragedy, which has also affected their own children. Meanwhile at a lab somewhere, a pair of scientists, including one Professor Bean, are studying the effects of the gas via computer, and determine that while victims who breathed too much would die the rest would most likely be alright afterwards. The two leave before the computer makes a shocking discovery, the gas doesn't fade from the system as originally thought, but rather it merges with and restructures the DNA of those who breath it.
At the hospital, the parents of the children involved in the accident were informed of the news that their children would survive. There was relief all around. But alas, not for everyone. Several kids died from the gas leak, and some were placed in comas. But the majority survived, and that was the thing to focus on. The worst had passed, and now was the time to mourn and recover. No one yet realised just how much things would change.
The next day, Charlie Brown awoke in the hospital. Meeting up with his friends Linus, Lucy, Peppermint Patty and Marcie, Charlie Brown learned of everything that happened in the wake of the gas leak, and the group shared a moment of sorrow at the news that their friend Roy had been one of the few to pass away from the accident. As Lucy departed the group to harass Schroeder, the remaining Peanuts ran afoul of the local bullies, Joe Agate and Thibault, sons of JoGate's owners. Though Charlie brown almost managed to avoid a confrontation, Peppermint patty screamed that it was all the fault of their fathers, particularly blaming them for Roy's death. An argument ensued where the bullies ended up joking about the death of Patty's mother, which led an uncontrollably enraged Peppermint Patty to punch Thibault... right through the wall!
This shocked everyone, and Peppermint Patty retreated in distress. Despite his own bemusement Joe still managed to make fun of Patty's predicament, calling her a freak to her friends' faces. Though understandably irritated by him, Charlie Brown, Linus and Marcie went off to try and find their friend.
Coincidentally, the eccentric Professor Bean was in the hallway on the other side of the wall at the time, having discovered that the gas from the school would grant super powers to many of the kids. Lacking proof, the other doctors declare him a kook and walk off laughing. Distraught, the professor prays for some kind of evidence... cue Thibault crashing through the wall.
Outside, Charlie Brown and friends discovered Peppermint Patty punching trees, and leaving some very large dents in them. The young teens try to calm her down, but this only results in Peppermint Patty uprooting a tree and seemingly smashing Marcie against the side of the hospital. Everyone was distraught, until they realised that Marcie had been saved by some strange psionic barrier. It was at that moment that Professor Bean greeted them, and explained to the children about Patty and Marcie's new powers. At first sceptical, the kids slowly come to believe in his words.
And it didn't stop there. The gang found Lucy in her hospital ward, having soaked the entire room in water after being attacked by Linus's blanket, which he had somehow brought to life. Charlie Brown then discovered that piano prodigy Schroeder had developed power over sound. Naturally curly haired Frieda develops healing powers, and the ever messy Pigpen gains control over the earth (No surprises there). Indeed, it appears the only one without powers was good ol' Charlie Brown. And of course this depressed him.
After explaining his theories regarding the gangs powers, such as them being activated when the kids enact their most common behaviour, Professor Bean offered to take the Peanuts gang to his compound to train them in the use of their abilities. Sally, revealing herself to have powers over plants when she summons a vine to lift her brother up by the legs, follows them along. Professor Bean taught all of the gang the full extent of their abilities, but no matter what they tried, nothing seemed to awaken the possibility of superpowers within Charlie Brown. This got the poor boy depressed, but after some encouragement from Professor Bean, he managed to cheer up a bit and support his super powered friends.
It wasn't all good news though. Unbeknownst to the Peanuts gang, Joe Agate had overheard everything Professor Bean said about the super powers, and after discovering that Thibault had control over gravity and Joe himself had control over shadows, the duo decided to gather a team of their own. Recruiting Charlie Brown's former friends, popular snobs Violet and Patty, the bullies began assembling a team of villains. Mr Agate and Mr Jones watched on as their sons began their nefarious plots, the gas leak had been no accident after all and they had planned it all. And now all they had to do was wait until the time was right. It was most unfortunate that Detective Morgan wasn't able to confront them there and then.
Violet and Patty gathered together several of the other popular students. Axed football star Matt Carlson and cheerleader reject Sabrina were the first recruits. Violet then went on to talk to Sabastian Mahoney, once the most handsome boy in school, who had suffered a deformity from the gas causing his face to partially melt. Though he was unwilling, Violet managed to sweet talk him into it. Another girl they managed to recruit was the fiery Vanessa, who simply went along with it because it sounded like fun. While this went on, Joe Agate and Thibault talked with their friend Zack, a socially awkward boy who had failed to make friends with the Peanuts before. The trio are drawn to the sound of a wall breaking down, and it is discovered that a friend of Zack's, a very crazy and very rich boy named Jason Kruger, had gone missing from that same room. Zack is naturally very nervous, though Joe and Thibault have little time to comfort him due to their planning.
A few days later, the recruited students all gather at the home of Joe Agate. Among the misfits are loudmouth Charlotte Braun, manipulative Melody Melody, sports star Freddie Fabulous, tennis players Molly Volley, Bad-call Benny and Crybaby Boobie, the girl with many names most commonly called Lydia, a boy with a Bane-like oxygen mask and a bad attitude called Patrick Stane and the vain Tapioca Pudding, along with all the previously mentioned recruits (Minus Zack, who Joe and Thibault believe to be powerless). The bullying duo manage to win the kids to their cause by exploiting the one thing they can all agree on: A deep hatred of the Peanuts gang, especially Charlie Brown. After unlocking everyone's powers through an adrenalin booster, Joe declares the newly assembled group of villains the Birchwood Brotherhood (To the annoyance of some of the girls), and they all vow to crush the Peanuts gang and take over the school.
And to make matters worse, they weren't even the only villains about. Though he wouldn't arrive on the scene until much later, the Science teacher, Ray Thompson, had developed super intelligence and the power to inflict pain upon people with merely a glare. A misanthrope that hated the world due to the absolutely horrible life he had had, Thompson declares himself a super villain and decided to use his power to conquer the world and cause as much misery as possible to those he hates... and that's everyone!
Now things are looking pretty bad for our Peanuts gang. But fear not, they would not be alone in this crisis. One of the more friendly teachers, Maths teacher Samson, developed the power to calm people. However, he would not be helping anyone anytime soon, as his wife had been left in a vegetated state and he was forced to make the difficult decision to turn off her life support. But At least seven other students also acquired powers at this time, and they would use their powers for good. The first of these was Daniel Morgan, the son of Detective Morgan, who while not appearing to have powers would take up leadership of this pack. Then there was Liz, a bubbly and kooky girl who has a huge crush on Charlie Brown, and also power over light. Jimmy Parr, a boy who is obsessed with meeting deadlines, obtains the power to slow time itself. Animal activist Mickey Barnes gains the ability to transform into any animal, his first imitation being of Woodstock. Michael, a blond, somewhat bland boy who pines for Lucy, gained the power to control the wind. And Lastly, Percy, a boy who acts like he's a knight in the middle ages and who is not initially well liked by the rest of this group, gains super strength and endurance.
The kids are initially dumfounded by their predicament, until they are enlightened by a nerdy boy named Ricky Powell. Ricky is a boy genius, and it just so happens he knows what the gas that filled the school was: An element known only to the scientific community that he was a part of, Neomondium. It was a gas invented during world war II as a performance enhancer, but banned after one subject went insane and developed psychic powers. Somehow Jogate had gotten a hold of the gas, and Ricky theorises they had dumped it in the school, leading to the whole gas leak. Why, nobody is sure.
The seven kids try not to get too caught up in their new powers until the situation becomes a bit more clear to them. However, they are plunged into an adventure when Liz is suddenly kidnapped by a giant lizard! The monstrous Leatherface, a monster that looked like it was made out of the features of many, many different types of reptiles, abducted Liz into the sewer. Using their new powers, the kids fought off the monster, Daniel discovering his own ability to shoot energy beams and spheres in the process. Despite their efforts it seemed for a moment like Leatherface would kill them all there and then... but suddenly the beast recoiled in pain, and retreated back into the sewers. The kids were stumped as to what had happened, but already late getting home at night they soon shrugged it off.
And as if one giant reptile running around the sewers wasn't enough, Joe and Thibault's friend Zack soon assumed a transformation of his own into an enormous red, horned lizard with many spikes. The transformation occurred to him one night when a scar on his hand started bleeding, and then after that his eyes, until his entire body was engulfed in the blood. Zack woke up in the sewer, where he too was attacked by Leatherface. Though he managed to come out of this fight unscathed, he soon lost control and attacked a convenience store. Now Zack transforms nightly into the monstrous Psychosis, wandering the sewers and terrorising the town.
Getting back to the main plot, the Peanuts gang returned to school two weeks later. With everyone now in better control of their powers, the gang agrees to keep it on the down low. But at the same time as they enter, Joe and Thibault put their plans into motion. As the Birchwood Brotherhood takes over the school, Joe, Thibault, Violet and Patty confront the Peanuts at the entrance. Though Joe offers the gang the chance to join them, Thibault decides they took too long and attacks. The gang prepares for a battle. Elsewhere, Daniels group, aided by an older boy with fire powers named Benedict, join in the fray as school Janitor Maurice leads the students to safety. The initial scuffle between the groups is cut short as Matt Carlson, who had just gotten through pummeling Percy, causes an earthquake that shakes the school, knocking everyone over and leaving devastation.
Amidst the rubble, Sabastian Mahoney gets up and begins looking around. Unlike the other villains, who merely want to get on top, Sabastian wants only one thing: To kill Charlie Brown. He is jealous that despite his being an utter loser and social outcast, Charlie Brown still has plenty of friends, whereas Sabastian believes he has nothing now that his face has been disfigured. Sabastian find Charlie Brown in the principals office, where Charlie Brown has just gotten through untying the captured Principal Schulz. As Sabastian was about to kill Charlie Brown with a magma ball, Liz got in the way and threw a light spear at the ball, causing an explosion that allowed Charlie Brown and the principal to escape outside.
While the rest of the students all gathered safely outside and the police arrived to tape off the area, absolute war broke out within the school. Linus, after a surprisingly quaint talk with Vanessa, was attacked by Matt Carlson, but luckily assisted by Sally. Things didn't end up so well though as Linus was thrown down a hallway by Carlson and Sally was brutalised by Patrick Stane. Mickey turned into a Tyrannosaurus to battle super fast Freddie Fabulous and shapeshifter Lydia. Fire powered Violet and electrifying Patty battle Pigpen, who managed to capture them in a rock prison. Peppermint Patty and Benedict battle Thibault, while Daniel confronts Joe Agate. The two share a great rivalry, and Joe taunts Daniel from the shadows, scolding him for being unable to cope with the death of his mother and mocking his dad for not finding Peppermint Patty's mom's murderer. Joe almost defeats Daniel, but is driven off by Liz. The two were releaved, but were soon confronted by Sabastian, ticked off and murderous. Schroeder, Jimmy and Michael fight with Molly Volley, Bad-Call Benny and Crybaby Boobie in the boiler room, the three villains having the powers to grow, stretch and Shrinking respectively. When the heroes are done with the trio, Lucy and Sabrina crash into the room, engaged in a catfight which ends with Sabrina pulling a bazooka out of thin air and trying to blow up Lucy, only for Jimmy to reverse the shell back into the bazooka and have it blow up in her face. Patrick Stane attempts to attack Marcie and Frieda, however Marcie holds him off with her shields long enough for Freida to heal Percy, who proceeded to pound the violent boy into a pulp.
The heroes seem to be winning, but the tide changes for some when Sabastian traps Daniel and wounds Liz, and also attacks Marcie.
Outside, Charlie Brown sulked as he was unable to help his friends in this crisis. After being given encouragement by his old pal Franklin and his friend Ariel, Charlie Brown heard Marcie's scream from within the school and, putting aside his wishy washiness ran in to help. Unfortunately, he just ended up walking right into Sabastian's hands, and is soon trapped in cooled magma by the scarred villain. As Sabastian attempted to disfigure Charlie Brown, Liz leapt up and tried to defend him, which lead Sabastian to try and murder her. Charlie Brown, distraught over how badly he screwed up and desperate to save Liz and the others, entered into a state of ultimate state pity. In line with his screams, the lighting within the school began to flicker on and off, distracting Sabastian and biding time. Charlie brown didn't noticed, instead mentally beating himself up some more until suddenly he unlocked his powers: Complete control over sunlight!
Sabastian, understandably nervous, threw a magma ball at Charlie Brown, who retaliated by unleashing a mighty blast of solar energy upon the villain that lit up the whole school. The Peanuts and Daniel and friends gathered as Frieda began to heal everyone, and everyone praised Charlie brown on ultimately saving the day. Joe Agate and the Brotherhood reappeared, and despite their humiliating defeat Joe vowed that it wasn't over, teleporting the villains out through a dark portal.
Unfortunately, the police announced through a mega phone their intention to storm into the school soon after. Realizing the trouble they'd get into if the police thought they were the villains, Jimmy Parr pushed his powers to the limits by reversing time around the school, so that everyone thought it was much earlier and thus lost their memory of the incident. Relieved, the heroes all agreed to meet up at Professor Bean's mansion after school.
Realizing the risk the new Birchwood Brotherhood posed and that they would be relentless, Charlie Brown and friends agreed that there was only one reasonable, logical course of action: They must all form a team of Superheroes to combat the villains. Settling on Charlie Brown's suggested name of P-Nuts Protectors (Shortened from Peanuts Protectors on the insistence of an annoyed Lucy), the gang vowed to defend their town from the forces of evil!
And so, for the next few weeks the gang devised costumes and superhero identities. Charlie Brown, the elected leader of the group, became known as the Solar Flare. Linus took on the Moniker of The Blanket, Lucy became H2O, Peppermint Patty settled on Plain Pain, Marcie took the name Psionic Girl, Sally chose Madam Plant to sound mature, Pigpen chose Dust Magnet, Schroeder became Sonic Boom, Frieda became Red Cross, Daniel became The Guardian, Liz became Lighthawk, Percy became The Shining Knight of Birchwood, Jimmy became Time Lord, Mickey became Man of the Wild, Benedict became Fireblaze and Michael chose the name Hero... really, just Hero. And his costume was just wearing all blue. lame, right.
The P-nuts Protectors defended the town for the next few weeks from the Brotherhood, who took on costumed identities of their own. The groups consistently fought and caused much collateral damage to the town, earning them the ire rather than the admiration of the local people. But nethertheless, the heroes perceived. A common theme among the two groups in this time became their quest to tame the giant lizard beasts, the roster of which had expanded from the initial Leatherface and Psychosis to include the ice themed reptile Arcticguana and the monstrous Kaiju, a beast which had the body and head of Godzilla, the wings of Mothra, the feet of a veloceraptor, and the sharpest claws you've ever seen, and was unbeknownst to the P-nuts under the control of Mr Agate and Mr Jones, who had begun to manipulate events from behind the scenes.
The P-Nuts and the Birchwood Brotherhood fought on relatively even terms for some time. Then one day, Agate and Thibault sent the Tennis Gang (Molly, Benny and Crybaby, otherwise known as Gigantica, Bad-Stretch and Shrinx) to capture a kid who feared loud sounds named Tony Smith, who ironically had gained the power to cause explosions. The trio intended to use the poor boy in a plot to capture one of the lizard beasts.
The P-nuts, unaware of this dastardly plot, were out on patrol, keeping an eye out for any sign of the lizards, when suddenly they discovered the vigilante their Vanishing Vixen robbing a jewellery store. Vixen was a girl who chose neither good nor evil, though sold her super powered services to the Brotherhood and Jogate for cash, and who had the powers of invisibility, teleportation and intangibility. Yikes. But the girl was uninterested in a fight, and instead directed the P-Nuts to Psychosis tearing apart the streets. And if that wasn't bad enough, the Tennis Gang showed up to put their plan into action.
A large scale battle broke out in which half the P-Nuts tried to rangle Psychoisis while the other half took on the Tennis Gang. While they were successful in at least the latter, the loud sounds caused by the fight, couple with the gangs torture of him earlier, caused Tony to finally snap and cause an enormous explosion that tore apart the street and knocked out most of the P-Nuts, as well as Psychosis. While Marcie was initially glad to have one of the Lizards in hero custody, Vanishing Vixen seized the opportunity to teleport the beast as well as the villains away, giving the Brotherhood their own giant lizard beast to make their crusade all the more easier. The P-Nuts returned to their base that night battered and defeated, and all that coupled with Tony's turning down the offer to join the group prompted Lucy to angrily scold Charlie Brown on his leadership skills, sowing the first seeds of contempt among the group. But things weren't done getting worse, as while all this madness ensued Joe Agate took the time to go capture Ricky Powell, who had been gathering information and discovered the identities of every superhuman in Birchwood: Information the Brotherhood want to use to further their goals.
At around this same time the now fired and disgraced Ray Thompson has taken on his own costumed identity, dubbing himself Mr Mean, a name that brings him disgrace. After the P-Nuts foil his plot to take over the school with a robot army, Mr Mean attempts to gain funding by robbing Mr Agate and Mr Jones, but is instead offered a job by them inventing evil machines, and he begins working alongside the Brotherhood, also forcing Ricky to help build a particularly dangerous device.
The P-Nuts soon became aware of Ricky's abduction and sought to find him. Not quite sure where the Brotherhood's base might be located, a group of P-Nuts took to investigating around Ricky's house where he had disappeared. They find absolutely zero evidence at first, but soon make another interesting discovery: a boy named Simba who has been transformed into a human-tiger hybrid, who attacks Lucy before she locks him in an ice cage. Marcie, seeing that Simba is really just sad and scared, used her psychic powers to read his mind, and discovered that he had been captured and abused by the Brotherhood to attack the P-Nuts before, but had broken free of their control and was beaten up by them and dumped into the wild. Through Simba's eyes, Marcie discovered the location of the Brotherhood base, Agate Mansion, and also saw that Simba had seen Vanishing Vixen appear in Ricky's room to abduct him the night before, confirming their suspicions completely.
Knowing they must act, Charlie Brown split the P-Nuts into two groups, one group went with Pigpen and Peppermint Patty to dig under the mansion while a sky team broke in through the roof: Both groups were to search around for any sign of Ricky. Unbeknownst to the P-nuts, they were followed by a Fan boy who had been hounding them earlier that day, Harold Boyle, who was promptly abducted upon reaching the Mansion.
Things don't get off to a good start. The ground team ends up tunnelling directly into the basement base of the Birchwood Brotherhood, who engage them in battle. The situation is made worse for them when Joe and Thibault unleash new team player Psychosis upon the heroes.
The sky team was under surveillance by Mr's Agate and Jones, who press a switch that unleashes the Kaiju upon them. While the sky team prepare to battle the monster, Mr Mean's voice announces through a speaker that he has Ricky and Harold captive, and is preparing to put them under the torture of the Mean Beam, a device that channels his power to cause ultimate pain to the two boys. Mr Mean made a game out of the situation, presenting the Solar Flare with a time limit and instructing him to search for the two boys before it's too late. Charlie Brown's team urge him to move on while they deal with the Kaiju, but unfortunately Charlie Brown's path is intercepted by Sabastian and Violet, now calling themselves Melter Mask and Ember respectively.
Meanwhile outside the mansion, Vanishing Vixen counted her earnings before being approached by a masked man in a trenchcoat known simply as the Mystery. The Mystery warns her to return the money and turn herself in, when Vixen refused he prepared to shoot her with an energy gun.
All around the mansion, violence broke out. The villains in the basement soon learned to step aside as Psychosis wiped the floor with the ground team, and Matt Carlson/Quarterbash fought with Percy/Shining Knight. The battle did not progress for some time, but eventually the group managed to knock Psychosis out and send him flying at the other villains, using this distraction to escape. The Sky team meanwhile did less well with the Kaiju, who no matter what they hit him with refused to stay down. The monster was only defeated when A bell rang for midnight, and his mind registered that his human persona was supposed to check in on his mother at the hospital, so the Kaiju flew off leaving the heroes alone. Linus noticed that Lucy had wandered off during the fight. Outside Vanishing Vixen and the Mystery fought aswell, their fight culminating in Vixen stabbing the Mystery and preparing to kill him, before Schroeder, who had been left to patrol outside the mansion, leapt in to save the day. True to her name, Vixen vanished from sight, and Schroeder ran inside to get Frieda to heal the Mystery, who thanked them before vanishing into the night.
While all this was happening, Charlie Brown had tried desperately to find Ricky and Harold, but was held up at every turn. When Charlie Brown eventually does shake off his pursuers, he arrives in the right room just as the counter reaches zero, to find Lucy standing over the boys and the demolished Mean Beam. She hadn't actually saved the day though, the third lizard beast Arctiguana, for reasons unknown had snuck in earlier and smashed the beam while scaring off Mr Mean before leaving the boys alone.
Furious at his screw up and belittling his reasons, Lucy viciously and cruelly scolds Charlie Brown on his failure and belittles his attempt to explain himself, lashing out at him and making Charlie Brown more miserable than he's ever been.
Though the heroes succeed at returning the captives, Charlie Brown was left emotionally devastated by what Lucy had said and went into his room, refusing to come out ever since.
Charlie Brown's friends all tried to comfort Charlie Brown, but he wouldn't leave his room or let them in, leaving everyone, especially Peppermint Patty and Liz, extremely sorry for him, and absolutely furious at Lucy for doing such a thing to him. The P-Nuts had a meeting to discuss whether they should kick Lucy off the team for her behaviour, which she walked into and declared herself estranged from the P-Nuts, though she was secretly very upset at this development.
At school, the students all begin to get excited for the Sadie Hawkings Girls ask boys dance, but Peppermint Patty and Marcie can't get too excited about it because of the situation with Charlie Brown. They also discuss Lucy and whether she really deserved to be kicked off the team, but where distracted from their thoughts upon bumping into a group of boys, all crowded around and fauning over the queen bee's of the school, Melody Melody, Lydia and Tapioca Pudding, all of the Brotherhood. Peppermint Patty tries to talk some sense into the love struck boys, which only results in her and Marcie being picked up and tossed aside. Marcie, noticing Melody's eyes glowing pink at one point, suggests that they go see Ricky.
A group of the P-Nuts went to the home of Ricky Powell after school, where he confirms the powers of the three girls. Melody, a girl who gets by on seducing and manipulating boys, has developed pheromone based powers that allow her to control the minds of all males. Lydia, the lady of a million names, has the power to change her appearance to anyone else, and Tapioca, a girl who wants he image everywhere, has the power to bring any image to life. During this discussion, Charlie Brown appears suddenly into the room, much to the joy of his friends and sister. After everyone is informed of the Femmes' powers, "Charlie Brown" devises a plan where the strongest members of the P-Nuts confront the girls inside the school, meaning all the male team members. Though the girls are all sceptical, Charlie Brown manages to convince them all, and also asked Peppermint Patty to the school dance, to which a lovestruck Patty could only say yes.
However, the plan inevitably goes awry. A while after the make P-Nuts enter the school, the girls decide to follow, and realise that the school is filled with boys all under Melody's control, including the P-Nuts gang. The girls are knocked out and tied up in the Gym, where the three Brotherhood girls reveal their plan to take control of all the boys in the school, and Lydia also reveals that she had really been masquerading as Charlie Brown, much to Peppermint Patty's fury and humiliation. The Femmes prepared to finish off the P-Nuts girls, when Lucy suddenly arrived to free them, and a massive fight broke out between the girls and all the super powered boys in Birchwood Junior High. Though the girls were greatly outnumbered, they eventually succeeded in defeating the three Femmes and setting all the boys three, and during the scuffle Liz also discovered the true identity of Leatherface, as Jason Kruger transformed in front of her eyes. The girls were relieved with their victory, and while Melody, Lydia and Tapioca managed to get away they were soon apprehended by the newest vigilante, a girl in Chinese armour named Zodiac... only for them to be freed moments later by Vanishing Vixen.
Though the P-Nuts won the day, it is later revealed the Brotherhood still got something out of this: They now know the identities and abilities of every super powered male student in Birchwood.
The P-Nuts regroup later at the Bean compound. Though they won they are all still disheartened by the fact that Charlie Brown did not come back to them and that they are still leaderless. Peppermint Patty talks to Lucy, and grudgingly allows her back onto the team because they need her help, but warns her not to mess with Chuck again.
Elsewhere, and Indian boy named Sanjay meditates in his room. A superhuman, he has had visions of the near future, and predicts that terrible events are to occur in the next week that will shake the P-Nuts Protectors to their very core. In the confines of JoGate, Mr Mean puts the finishing touches on his newest, most dangerous invention. And within his room, Charlie Brown is haunted in his dreams by nightmares of a devilish figure, urging him to take vengeance upon Lucy and the others.
Needless to say, dark times lie ahead for our heroes. The Peanuts gang have faced many hardships in their short time as heroes, but it appears that the true story has only just begun. What lies in store for them? Find out soon, on the next episode of The P-Nuts Protectors!
