The girls and boys fly at the beast, all ready to pummel it. Buttercup shoots lasers from her eyes, but the slug creature blocks the attack with his tail. Butch then gives the beast a rocket punch to its side, but the beast quickly shoves him away.

"Mmn," Blossom muses for all of a heartbeat. "This beast is much tougher than first anticipated. We'll have to up the ante a bit. Let's give him an-ACROBATTACK!" Upon this, the Powerpuffs hover down to the ground and begin whirling toward the beast in a super-fast cartwheel.

Looking on at this, an impressed Brick notes, "Hey that's a clever idea. Let's give him a-BALLISTIC BARRAGE!" Upon this, he and his brothers hover down to the ground and begin rushing toward the monster, then fly up in the air and begin dive-bombing downwards.

The girls and boys hit the beast at full force, almost at the same time, causing the monster to wail out in pain. Angered by this attack, the slug beast shoots spikes from its back, which come raining down like projectiles toward the girls. The boys gasp fearfully, "GIRLS, LOOK OUT!" and quickly zing over and spirit them out of harm's way.

"Wh-y-you, saved us!" a shocked Blossom exclaims. "But...why? You're our enemies."

"I don't even know," Brick replies, still biting his tongue hard not to say what was on his mind. "I just...couldn't let you die!"

"Well, that's very sweet of you," Blossom replies, also in strong denial of how she really felt. "But we're always very careful during our monster battles, so you needn't worry."

"Buh-b-b-but, I gotta!" Brick protests.

"No, you don't!" Blossom protests.

"Yes, I do!" Brick retorts.

"No, you don't!"

"Yes, I do!"

"No, you don't!"

"Yes, I do!"

"But why do you even want to protect me?" Blossom finally inquires.

"Because I love you!" Brick quickly blurts out.

"HUH?!" Blossom and her sisters are highly taken aback by this. Brick quickly claps his hands over his mouth, embarrassed by what he's just said. Can't believe I just said that out loud! he thinks.

"Uhm, excuse me," the monster suddenly pipes up. "But if you two are finished now, can we continue what we're doing?"

"Uhm, sure thing." the Powerpuffs and Rowdyruffs reply flatly.

The girls and boys then zing toward the monster again; the girls bombard the beast with a series of punches and kicks, while the boys lay into the monster with a series of rapid rocket punches. Determined not to lose, the slug beast lifts his tail high in the air, ready to clobber the boys hard. "BOYS, WATCH OUT!" the girls cry fearfully as they zoom over and quickly scoop the boys up.

"Wh-you saved our lives!" a taken-aback Butch exclaims. "Does that mean you like us?"

"Well, uhm..." Buttercup stammers, her mind racing for a possible answer. "We, uhm, didn't want to see you get crushed." Butch gives a small smile in response, secretly knowing what she really meant.

"Gee, thanks for saving me, Babycakes." the green Rowdyruff replies, upon which he quickly claps his hands over his mouth. Did I just call her Babycakes?! he thinks, his face turning bright red.

As Boomer hovers close, about to hit the monster with another attack, he fails to notice the beast opening its jaws wide, about to chomp down on him. Bubbles gives an audible gasp. "BOOMER, NO-O-O-O!" She zings through the air and quickly snatches Boomer from the beast's clutches.

"Boomer! Are you okay?" she pants fearfully. "Oh, I so hope you're not hurt!"

"Please don't worry, Honeypie, I'm fine." Boomer replies. 'Did I just call her Honeypie out loud?" he thinks with embarrassment.

Tears begin to well up in the blue Powerpuff's eyes. "Oh, I'm so glad! I was afraid-afraid that-that I was going to LOSE YOU!" Boomer is more than a bit taken aback by this. 'S-she really likes me?!' he thinks.

Noticing her granddaughters and their boyfriends in dire straights, an angry look crosses Grandma's face. "All right, enough is enough!" she states as she quickly disembarks her motorcycle. "This monster needs to be taught some manners!" She then begins trudging angrily up to the beast. "Stop right there, you beast!"

"Miss, wait, please!" Brick calls urgently.

"Please don't worry, Brick," Blossom replies consolingly. "Grandma has a few tricks up her sleeve." The boys look on in perplexity, wondering just how Grandma intended to handle this situation.

Hearing Grandma's voice, the monster stops in its tracks and glances up at her. "Now, you should know better than to cause all of this destruction," Grandma scolds. "Honestly, what would your mother say?" The beast is highly taken aback by this. "Muh-muh-muh-my mother?"

"Just look at that grimy skin! I'll bet you haven't bathed in weeks. And those teeth! Have you ever had a dental appointment?" The monster is now well and truly at a loss for words. "Now, I want you to leave right now and stop terrorizing the city!" Grandma exclaims.

"Yes, Ma'am." the defeated monster replies as he slowly slinks away. The Rowdyruffs stare in awe at this amazing display. "Wow..." Butch notes. "How did she...do that?"

"Oh, well, that's just what Grandma does," Blossom replies shyly. "It's very effective in making villains and monsters reconsider."

"Well, I gotta admit, she's pretty cool." notes a very impressed Brick.

"She's the coolest grandma ever!" Buttercup replies enthusiastically. Touched by their kind words, Grandma smiles and blushes.

"Thanks so much for saving us, miss!" Butch says gratefully. "We really appreciate it." Buttercup adds.

"Oh, you're quite welcome, dears." Grandma replies.

Blossom then turns to Brick with an unsure look on her face. "Uhm, Brick? May I ask you a question, please?"

"Sure."

"Did you actually mean what you had said back there when you said you loved me?"

Brick blushes a deep red. "Well, uhm..."

Boomer then turns to Bubbles. "And did you mean it when you said you didn't want to lose me?"

Now it's Bubbles' turn to blush. "Well...yes..."

Butch then turns to Buttercup. "And did you mean it when you said you didn't want to see me get crushed?"

Buttercup now begins to blush. "Well...yes..."

Before they can elaborate on this notion, however, the portable hotline phone in Blossom's pocket rings. Mentally feeling a bit relieved, Blossom quickly answers the phone. "Hello, Mayor? What might the matter be?" As she listens to the reply, a concerned look crosses her face. "Oh dear. Please don't worry, Mayor, we're on our way!"

"What's wrong, Blossom?" Brick inquires as the pink Powerpuff hangs up the phone. "Well, Princess Morbucks is robbing every jewelry store in town." Blossom replies. Disgusted looks cross the Rowdyruff's faces. "Princess Morbucks, ugh, I remember her," Butch cringes. "She was NOT easy to deal with(1)!"

"Well, we'll just have to teach her some manners," Grandma replies. "Let's go, kids!" As the girls and boys quickly hop onto the motorcycle, Grandma hands the boys three bicycle helmets in their corresponding colors, which they quickly put on, upon which Grandma shifts the bike into gear and motors off.
