A day later after the defeat of Mojo Jojo, “Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup” as they’ve been known as “The Powerpuff Girls, now the heroes of the town, help protect Townsville from villains, starting with the Gangreen Gang kick-starting their new career as the city's official superheroes (as depicted in the 2002 film). As the girls' continuation of being heroes and for their lives through the years, now with their fourth sister “Bliss” (as this now takes place 3 years after the final episode of the 2016 reboot).

Later at Night, at the headquarters in the middle of the desert, a masked mysterious man has stolen the rarest gemstone “Ammolite”, made an escape with their team and the van as the headquarters army began to chase them to get back the gemstones. As the chase starts through the cliffs, the headquarters army starts shooting the van as the van stops them by shooting the cliffs for the rocks and boulders to block them. The van stops then notices it’s a dead end and the headquarters army surrounded the masked mysterious man team as they’re ordered to hand over the Ammolite. But the team drove off the cliff as they survived with their aircraft and escaped. The masked mysterious man placed the Ammolite inside of the safety glass as it is rumored that this gemstone has the most evil curse out of all gemstones. And announce that they will take over Townsville and plan to destroy all kinds of the world.

At Townsville, the girls have graduated Midway Elementary School, as they fly to fun places before they come to their house to celebrate, while the professor is away for a week. While the girls have in mind their jobs and careers for their future, Buttercup told them about what age they are. Blossom notices that she and her sisters are still 5 years old, but bubbles tell them that even though we’re still the same age, they’ll always be together as a young trio of superheroes. The Powerpuff Hotline rang as the mayor warned them that the villains are on the run and the girls with Bliss fought the villains (Mojo Jojo, HIM, Fuzzy Lumpkins, Princess Morbucks, The Gangreen Gang, and the Amoeba Boys) and saving the day once again. After 3 days of fighting crime, at night when Bubbles is almost home, she sees news of her being removed from the team due to not being heroic and lacking in appearance, with a sadness of her look as she heads home to talk to her sisters about the news and if she wasn’t a hero. Blossom told her to ignore the news about it and what she meant to be a hero no matter what, as long as her sisters and the professor are there with her. Bubbles thanking Blossom for this as she needs a 10 minute moment outside of the backyard. However a mysterious person kidnaps bubbles with a sleeping gas and tosses her in the truck as it leaves Townsville and the aircraft arrives to take over Townsville as it lands on the grass field hills and turns into a fort.

Later in the morning, the trucks dumped some unused stuff as bubbles got out of the truck before getting caught as the trucks left. She then sees the small town called “Bleweround” right there in the corner as she goes there. She then sees a few people when she enters a restaurant where there are some people in. One of the cashiers named “Gina” takes bubbles orders but bubbles don’t have any money and she’s not hungry as she felt worried about. Gina told her that she reminds her of a similar person until a bulk huge villain named “Borg the Gargantuan” who is the Bleweround wanted enemy arrived to rob the money and steal some expensive stuff. Not until an unknown boy arrives to stop Borg as he dodged some attacks, fights him down and ends the fight with a punch on the face yet saving the town as Borg warned him that he’ll be back and leaves, resident cheered him as he was still thinking where Borg lives. Back at the restaurant, Bubbles told him that his moves are amazing. He thanked her for this and he told her that he’s been doing this for years to keep this town safe. Before bubbles show him her powers, she introduces herself and he introduces himself and his name “Javier”. As they head outside and notice that Bubbles' powers are gone, therefore she can’t fly to get back home, and nowhere to stay. Javier told her that he has a hideout that he can take her to go to his place.

Back at Townsville, Blossom and Buttercup woke up and clearly Bubbles wasn’t there fearing those two, as Bliss comes who’s also in fear that Bubbles is missing. Bliss told them that something big outside as it was a fort that was there last night as the resident and citizen looked. Buttercup told Maylyn and the Derbytantes, as Blossom told Barry and Donny of what’s happening and how it appeared out of nowhere. By the speaker’s, a masked man made an approaching invasion speech for Townsville to be taken over and the world. The Mayor of Townsville arrives as he talks on the speaker to make them leave the city as he was going to call the girls but they arrived seconds ago, scaring the mayor. Until everyone, including the mayor, why bubbles aren't with her sisters. Blossom told everyone that she’s missing and her team are planning to search for her to bring her back, until the masked man uses the Ammolite to release the evil darkness at its destroys some homes, parks and the elementary school, while he releases his army to capture the citizens and residents of the city. The girls have fought back but unable to defeat it. They later see Professor has been captured, shocking the girls, as they head to their house to barricade the whole house, while buttercup questions when the professor starts barricading the house. Blossom told her sisters about the plan to where bubbles are as she has a plan to find a locator in the fort. While the masked man destroys the front police office and releases the original villains (including reboot villains Packrat, Manboy, The Fashionistas, and Silico). As the villains are ready to work with the masked man, he is still in the hood, carefully raises his mask up still covering nose and eyes, his mouth is shown as the lightning strikes in the background.

Back at Bleweround, Javier took Bubbles to his hideout as he introduced it. After a tour, bubbles ask him if she needs a restroom to shower and needs a bubble bath as of her dirty clothes and her hair, Javier accept it as he waits outside as she’s in the bathroom with her voice heard calls Javier, as he put her clothes in the washer and a dryer for a while. After that her clothes are clean as he told her that they are ready as he placed her clothes in the basket for her to get and change while she’s in it. Then Javier cooked some food (particularly Quesadillas, Fruit Salad, Macaroni and cheese), as bubbles is now cleaned. While they were eating, bubbles told Javier about her experience as a hero with her sister's team, of what ingredients they're made, Javier thinks he saw them on TV when they were saving the city and heard of them. Bubbles told Javier what he was like before he came, but he doesn't remember it and won’t want to talk. When they’re on top of the hideout, He’s struggling don’t know where Borg the Gargantuan location is, but then bubbles realize she sees a little brown road that was covered in dirt, knowing that might be it. Javier remembered it when Borg left and vanished; he saw a fog of dirt in the direction where he was. He brings bubbles in and tells the residents that the location for Borg is revealed as those two wait for afternoon to find him and tell them to keep an eye on him when he comes. 5 hours later, those two are on their way to his location and after one hour, they finally got to Borg's location as they looked. It seems that he’s not here other than money, rare items, and other stuff he stole from the town. Bubbles uses the locator to alert the police of the locations as they start going there. While the police are on their way, however, Borg captures Bubbles and Javier for almost sneaking into his house. As both Javier and Borg fought again, Borg blocked him from the punch as he transformed into a ball revealing as a giant pill bug. As Borg knocks Javier down, Bubbles tries to fight him even though her powers aren’t working. She focuses on Javier’s moves and attacks on her mind, as she currently fought him out and finished it with a kick on his crotch, leaving painfully behind. The police arrive, calling the sanctuary to take Borg away to prison, returning all stolen items to the respective owners as both of them return to Bleweround to congratulate them.

Back at Townsville, Blossom, Buttercup and Bliss have to sneak into the lair to get the location to Bubbles, by passing one of Townsville’s villains. Buttercup goes to the vent as she takes on the Gangreen Gang; Bliss will keep an eye out for the Fashionistas, and Packrat, while Blossom can get to the electric room when she’s against Princess Morbucks, Manboy, and Fuzzy Lumpkins. The three girls fight the villains as Buttercup and Bliss meet up with Blossom as they enter the screen room where they found the locator, until Silico appears around the screen as Mojo and HIM appear even as Silico takes his revenge after his crimes. He then programming both Mojo and HIM fused together as then fights the girls as Buttercup and Blossom use their energy projection and Bliss uses Telekinesis to dodge objects. As Mojo-HIM fusion defeats blossom and buttercup, Bliss knocks them out with the screen as those two go back to their normal selves. Bliss teleports Silico to defeat them and makes callbacks to disguise her before teleports back. Blossom grabs the locator as Bliss appears, those three escaped by teleporting to their house. The masked man looked at the screen of the defeated villains then turned off. He called the villains on the speaker to come to his office. As the villains come in, the masked man is disappointed with the villains failing to stop the girls from getting the locator. The villains affirmed to Manboy, as he thought that Ace was the one, as the villains argued and fought for their mistakes. The masked man silences them, telling them that he needs the girls immediately and destroys Townsville. He then asks Mojo Jojo to come with him as he comes. The reason why the masked man wanted to take over the city, it’s because he was inspired by mojo. When he sees all of Mojo's plan including one time he has a big monkey and gorilla army to take over Townsville and he did transform him into a giant ape known as Mo Mojo but defeated by the girls, not to mention that Mojo made The Rowdyruff Boys while he’s at prison. Mojo Appreciate his inspiration, even though his work wasn’t working out. However Mojo has an idea to capture the girls is with the villains building an armor for the masked man while he enters a big prison where all the captured citizens and residents of Townsville were. As he tells all the people that once he captures the girls, he’ll use the ammolite to suck up the girls powers, and combined to a most evil curse to destroy all living things and destroy Townsville and the world; as one man talks back that he will fail as the girls will save the day, the masked man uses the ammolite to knock out of him before the masked man left. As he heads to the dark throne, he affirmed to his master that he’ll capture the girls, as the dark mysterious voice was heard confirming to be an evil woman as she maniacal laughing with the lightning storm up ahead of the city and the lair.

Back at Bleweround, Bubbles and Javier celebrate their victory of defeating Borg, as Gina's older brother “Leonard” comes into the hangout and later reveals as one of Javier’s friend’s. Bubbles told Javier what he likes to enjoy when he’s not busy. Javier told her that he likes to play Basketball, video games, and he’s a musician that he played as bubbles noticed how he can play it without having fingers because he’s a puff and did practice weeks and weeks. Gina tells her that both her brother and Javier hang out with each other and have fun like playing basketball. Bubbles tells them that she likes drawing, playing with toys, and sometimes fights crime. However, she seems to be sad about not being a good hero all because of the news. Gina tells her to forget about the news (if they mistaken it) and tells her to be who she wants to be. Javier wants to tell bubbles that he’ll be telling her for a long time, but first he asks Leonard if he could drive them to his hometown. Gina told him if he’s sure about this because he’ll get more worried about it, and Javier told her that he’ll be fine about that, and Leonard accepted it as he filled his car with some more gas. Both Bubbles and Javier head to his car as Gina wishes him luck for what he’ll be telling Bubbles about; as they head out. 2 hours later they arrived to Javier’s hometown “Alaheim”, as Leonard drop them off right in the corner of the street and tells them to meet him at the motel that is located straight through the street. As they kept walking to the neighborhood, they found Javier’s abandoned home that was restricted for 4 years; and he’ll tell her about his past while heading to the garage. As they arrive at the garage, he finds the key under the dirt for it to open it and shows all of Javier’s stuff like Drawings, Stuffed Toys and other stuff which he had a similar interest to Bubbles. Then she thought that Javier doesn’t remember his past and doesn’t want to talk about it; but Javier wants to do it now. And then he found a picture of a woman (who’s later revealed to be his mother) with Professor Utonium and showed it to Bubbles and told him that he created her and her sisters also made him a father. Javier reveals that his mother and the professor were friends, as Bubbles is surprised and he’ll tell her a long story. 6 years ago, his parents were very busy trying to pay rent for the house and never had anything to do for fun. However one day, his mom went to the science convention to see the professor and discuss how he made the girls. And later at night after she left the conversation and went back home, his parents went to the store to buy ingredients and arrived back home. A Pieces of Basketball’s, Color Pencil, and Sports Drink are the ingredients chosen by his parents to create him as a first child and thus he was born. And for the past 3 days they've been very happy together and one day when his parents are at work, he’s in charge of the house while they’re gone for work. However (back in reality) Javier told Bubbles that he was bored at that time but one interest that has made him change is his love of anime (especially My Hero Academia). (Back to his story) When he’s on tv has nothing to watch until this anime was shown as he started watching for hours and became an inspiration for him as he gets more active. At night when his parents are home, his mom enters his room seeing him watching the show. He told his mother that he wants to become a hero like “Izuku” (Deku), his favorite character from the show, so that he wants to help people. One year later, his parents have their first fights about struggling to pay rent for the house. As his dad leaves the house, his mom stays with him in the house as Everything will be ok, as his life will get difficult and both of his parents will lose their jobs. After a year of both of them living together, his mother realizes that she might be too hard on his father; so both of his parents will figure out how to solve the problem. However one day afternoon, when his parents finally found a new job but it’s far away so again when they are gone until late, he’s in charge of chores for the house as they left. At night, he’s excited to surprise his parents by getting a new job so he makes a cake for them. As he starts watching tv while waiting for his parents until the broadcast interrupts the program for breaking news. Unfortunately, the news reported that his parents died in a car accident when they were heading home. With the emotional look on his face he started crying. So he moved his stuff to the garage, hid the key, and abandoned his stuff and his house including the pictures of him and his parents. As he’s walking so lonely and mourning about his parents, the shootout is happening across the street, knowing that it was Borg who destroys the valley of the city, so he escapes the event by sneaking through the truck and leaves his hometown. And after 2 hours, he leaves the truck as he ends up on Bleweround and meets Gina and Leonard. (Back in Reality) With Javier’s story coming to an end, Bubbles feels bad for him that he has been throughout the years, like she feels bad about herself about not being heroic like her sisters, and why the news wants her to be replaced. She’s been a hero with her sisters for years, being very happy and joyful but when it comes to her lack of heroism if she’s not a good hero and doesn't know what she meant to be as she starts to cry emotionally. Javier comforts her, as he tells her that it’s not true and it's not just the looks and the abilities that makes her and her sisters a hero, but being a hero is what makes her feel proud of herself and from her heart. Bubbles thanked him for his advice as she hugged him and he hugged her back telling her that it’ll be okay. As it’s getting late, he calls Leonard on the phone that both of them are on their way to the motel as two of them start leaving the neighborhood and start going to the motel to stay.

Back at Townsville, Princess Morbucks exclaims the masked man when he’ll capture the girls, he tells her to be patient when his armored suit is finished as it is almost half completed. However, princess wants to let him know that he had a message from his master and her pet white tiger gives him the recording message as both morbucks and her tiger left his office. On the recording message, She told him that once the girls leaves to search for Bubbles and when the armor is ready, he’ll let some villains know to steal the Chemical X; Silico, Packrat, and HIM willing to build a duplication machine for the Chemical X; and he’ll find the girls with the finished armored suit. The masked man accepted the mission as his master signed off. He asks one of his army to warn the villains as all of them come to hear his master's plan to steal the chemical, building a duplication machine and he’ll have to find the girls with the armored suit. While back at the house, the girls are still working on getting the locator to know where Bubbles is, Blossom told them that once the locator gets the location to her, they’ll be able to find her, hopefully by next midnight. Earlier this morning back at Alaheim, as both Bubbles and Javier were up and he tells her if she can hang out with him and do fun stuff around his hometown, as bubbles would like to. And then for the rest of the day, they have been doing fun stuff like going for a walk in the park, at the museum, going to the pet store, seeing the baseball game, and playing Basketball with each other. And at night, they’re back at the motel to get some rest at each other’s beds but bubbles realize that she asked him if she wants to sleep with him so Javier wouldn’t mind and let her sleep with him. By the same time at Midnight at Townsville, the girls finally got the location to bubbles as they left, the masked man warned the villains that it’s time, he now let Silico, Packrat, and HIM to start building the duplication machine, and his armored suit is finished so that he’ll capture the girls with the strong enclosure glass on it as he starts finding the girls. They arrive at Bleweround, and start talking to Gina before she closes the restaurant to know where bubbles are because they’re in a hurry. Gina knows her when she came here, she tells them that she’s at Alaheim and gave them the location of where she is now. The girl’s thanked her and Blossom tells her that if she sees a masked man, she advises her not to tell him where they are. Gina wishes them luck on finding their sister and hopefully she’ll not tell the masked man where they and the girls are left. Back at Alaheim, Bubbles wakes up and wakes Javier up. She thanked him for spending time with her around the city. As both of them are ready to leave the city, the girls arrive and finally find Bubbles. Her sisters felt worried that she’s been missing and that she needs to get back home to stop the threats. But bubbles don’t know if she’s not always good enough to get her back in the team. Buttercup tells her that the citizens and residents of Townsville are in danger including their professor and the villains are working with the masked man. As the masked man found them and ambushed them. Bliss notices how he got there and the masked man reveals that he captured Gina and Leonard in shock of her getting beaten. Gina apologizes to Blossom as she lets them down because when he came to Bleweround, he was trying to kill her but she gave him a direction so that he’ll use her to find them. However the masked man has been waiting for this as who he is. So he removes the mask and leaves the hood off and as it’s started raining, the thunder flashes as his face was shown and revealed to be Lester Van Luster who now has a gravel voice, his body changed and his hair is now short, leaving the girls (except Javier and Bliss) in shock. Flashback when he was normal as he been defeated and trapped in the snow globe (as depicted in the 2016 series episode “Small World part 4”), and after 3 years stuck in there now living in the thrift store, one of the groups break into the store and stole the snow globe that has Lester in it. They tried to figure it out to break him free, not until their master freed him by using the powerful magic spell and made his appearance changed to his recent self and promoted him as a general. After the flashback, he’ll get his revenge and both him and the girls fight around the area where the apartment, restaurants, and the motel being destroyed by the fight, and Lester defeated and captured the girls including Bubbles and Javier, he let go of Gina to Leonard, flies back to Townsville and left Alaheim.

While going back to Townsville, the girls and Javier are trapped in the strong enclosed glass and Javier tells them what’s going on. Bliss told him about Lester’s threats and takeover of their city, and Bubbles literally told Blossom how that happened. Blossom replied and knowing that this was her biggest mistake because in her flashback, her truth is she was originally going to remove her from the team because she was uncomfortable and felt disappointed about Bubbles being not heroic. She then sent the message to the news with a fake name of hers as she needed to keep the secret from bubbles. Then later she came up to her about the news as she kept the secret, and letting her know that bubbles will be ok to spend time alone, until someone kidnaps her. (Back at Reality) Bubbles feels like she's been betrayed by her for not being a hero and Blossom exclaims to her that she’ll never be what kind of person she’ll be and slaps her. Bubbles with her broken-hearted look on her face, but eventually gets angry and starts to punch her, as both of them fight but stop by Buttercup, Bliss, and Javier. Bubbles can’t believe that Blossom ruined her happiness and her life and she ends up hating her with the frown look on blossom’s face. They arrived at Townsville as Lester told the villains on the ear speaker that they finished stealing the Chemical X and made a duplication machine to make more Chemicals to use. He changed his mind about what to do with the girls and Javier. He’ll be changing plans to keep Blossom, Buttercup, Bliss, and Javier to the big prison at the fort while grabbing Bubbles and putting her in a pod to send her away to space. And eventually uses the missile to destroy the girls house and the girls are in shock as Lester puts his mask on and continues to head back to the fort. Lester is back and shows the citizens and residents that he now captured and secured them, and also he tells all the people that Blossom was the cause of that because of her horrible mistakes of leaving bubbles out. The citizens and residents never believed that she never did such a thing until he showed a clip of Blossom’s truth and dark secrets that he recorded, her face felt worried as she got a lot of hatred from people and the Professor felt disappointed for her. She later sees Jared Shapiro (there used to be a couple at the beginning of the film) but he’s mad at her for her disrespectful and untrustworthy action and the cause of it, resulting in Jared breaking up with her, realizing what she have done as she removing her bow and throw it away from the cell. At Lester’s Office, he thanked the villains for their successful plan knowing that he’s still willing to use the ammolite to destroy Townsville and rule the world. All the villains had in mind if they could join him, as much Lester liked the Idea of it but he refused it, and called his army to capture them as they were betrayed. He wanted to take his biggest threat and revenge on Mojo for not wanting him to be an assistant and lied about being an Inspiration. Mojo realized what he said and recognized who he was and Lester put down the mask revealing himself, shocking Mojo. His army sends the villains away to the prison cell and he keeps multiplying the Chemical X to make more for his army, himself, and his master for later as he is ready to conquer the biggest takeover of the city and the world and no one can stop him.

Suddenly, Bubbles woke up seemingly out of the pods and ended up in an asteroid away from earth (the same asteroid as it appeared in the 2002 movie). As she began to have flashbacks at the time when she and her sisters were on. She feels lonely, depressed, heartbroken, and begins crying of what Blossom has done to her. She later might sleep on the asteroid (since she doesn’t want to sleep on a rock as seen from the first movie) emotional. While being on the asteroid and sleeping for one hour, She woke up but in her vision she ended up on the grass field and she felt confused about where she was. Then she gets confronted by her past self (1998-2005 Bubbles). She’s having a conversation with her past self of how much of her lack of her own life, her horrible times throughout the years, and never was a good person in Townsville. Past Bubbles responded to her that sometimes it always makes her feel right to herself as not only she was herself but her sisters and all the people in the city were inspired by her to be nice, kind, and she’s always a hero by everyone; like when she found buttercups green blanket and gives it to her, helping Blossom with her experiment project and made her win, and both of her sisters wants her to take blossom place (after she break on of her leg) to play for the adorable Warbles at the kickball game, winning the tournament for all the fun. And other positive and heroic memories of her over the years meaning she’s ever been a true hero from her heart; making her powers come back as she wakes up, knowing she’s not at her vision and didn’t see her past self as she thanked herself and flies back to Earth. Arriving back at Townsville, she’s shocked that her home is destroyed, and tearfully sees her favorite toy Octi was broken by the destruction of the house. However she then sees the door that wasn’t destroyed as she enters the lab knowing that there is a “Powerpuff-Way” to stop the takeover, as she enters the simulation chamber, turns up to Level 11 and after years of knowing, she’ll be able declaring herself "hardcore." Lester’s army with their mad powers is on a lookout for any people left in the city until Bubbles attacks them aggressively and the army begins to battle her back, as the fight ends she then continues to arrive at the fort.

While Bubbles sneaking through the fort to figure out to free her sisters until she gets called by the villains who’s in the maximum prison. Mojo begged her if the villains can help with her plan and they promised that they’ll not turn up evil again, and Bubbles came up with an idea by them doing a fighting to distract the guards while she knocks them out freeing the villains. As they keep their ongoing plans; HIM, Packrat and Bianca are keeping an eye out for the guards; The Amoeba Boys, The Gangreen Gang, Manboy, and Barbarus are on Attack mode of things goes wrong; and Bubbles, Mojo, Fuzzy, and Princess are nearly at the control center and that’s where they switch the gates closed which they’ve almost made until Lester captures them and brings them to the big prison while Silico who definitely got in the room to reprogramming the prison cells. Lester revealed that the ammolite evil curse can mind control and the truth of his commitment because two days earlier after when he stole the ammolite, he uses the evil curse to take over Blossom’s mind and began using her to remove Bubbles out of the team, sending the message to the news but when someone coming to her, he kept her secrets and a lies unknown, and also using her when the girls are captured, and with that horrific reaction to bubbles that Blossom could never do that for real, leaving Blossom in her aggressive feelings that he did all that to her, and the citizens and residents are so in shocked of what he have done. As he was about to use the ammolite to sucks the girl's powers, the villains burst out to stop Lester letting Bubbles, Mojo, Fuzzy and Morbucks off the armored suit, destroying it. When Lester comes back with his new recruit, the big battle will begin as he leaves. Bubbles feels worried for Blossom as she feels bad for herself for all the sudden threats that she caused and all of her lies to her team and the citizens. Bubbles forgives her, knowing that sometimes heroes make big mistakes but always get their redemptions of doing the right thing and she finds Blossom’s bow and gives it to her. As forgiveness is accepted, Javier introduced him to Blossom, Buttercup and Bliss as Silico deactivated the prison cell, freeing the citizens and residents. The Girls thanked Silico as he felt great until the guards stabbed him and fell but Barbarus caught him, and other villains fought the guard defeating them. Silico suffers so much pain as Buttercup and Bliss need to keep him alive, while Blossom and Bubbles needs to find out where to keep the citizens and residents safety and the Mayor reply that there’s a bunkers that was right close to the fort, and the Girls took all the people to the bunkers to keep them safe while the villains have to stay here to make sure Silico is fine. Javier decided to join them but Buttercup told them it’s very dangerous to fight crime without a power, he doesn’t care whatever he gets hurt, he’ll always never give up on his dream and always want to do this for his deceased parents. Blossom appreciated his loyalty and let him join. The professor wishes them luck, as the girls and Javier are ready for their final confrontation to save the world.

They arrived at the public park in front of Lester’s armies and the big fights have begun, with their same super-abilities (except Javier) like tornadoes, supersonic screams, teleporting, and inferno shields, even Buttercup “special ability” is to have her tongue curl to the big guy but he was unable to do that so Buttercup punched him in the face. Part of the armies have defeated, they now encounter Borg who Lester bought him from the prison, now he’ll use the Chemical X to Borg as he’s now powerful than ever and Lester wasn’t trying to destroy and kill the girls but he will for bubbles and the black goo was going to hit bubbles until Javier seemingly sacrifice himself by protecting her, leaving a powered Borg to barely crush the girls. Javier’s past in his memory now hearing her mom’s voice and she tells him that hopefully in the near future he’ll get to like helping people and mostly he can help his parents to get through all their struggles if that could make him a hero to his destiny and never give up his hopes and dreams as he hugs his mother emotionally. Back in reality after Javier struggles to get up, the powers on him start to help him out and beat up Borg, freeing the girls and Javier have gained super-powers which is from the Chemical X that Buttercup is sneaking replacing the green chemicals which is now destroyed with the Chemical X invisible. Javier thanked Buttercup, so now Javier finally teams up with the girls with their own plan; Javier will fight Borg, Blossom, Buttercup, and Bliss to keep on with the armies, and Bubbles will take on Lester. With Javier’s similar ability to the girls are Laser Vision, Flight, and Energy Projection (which is a Brown colored that can makes Basketball shape and Anime-ish like powers) while fighting Borg but ended up caught him and began to start beating him up as Javier called Blossom, Buttercup, and Bliss from Echolocation. Buttercup and Bliss continue fighting with the armies, as Blossom comes in to fight Borg, rescuing him. The fight continues, as Borg keeps rolling as a giant pill bug, Javier uses the energy projection making the ropes to tie Borg up, as Borg gets overpowered to get out of the ropes with a laser coming out of his mouth injuring Javier. Blossom dodges all the lasers from Borg, as both of them uses Laser powers each other but Borg suddenly knocks her down, and wielding the blaster through his hand to aim at her face while Javier sliced his blaster though his arm with the sharp lance, as this is their chance to defeat him. Javier then again tie him up with energy projection rope, and Blossom uses her Ice Breath abilities to her hand and freezes Borg right to his mouth as she wasn’t enough for her ice powers, she went insanity with her Ice Powers extremely hard and made him freeze completely, falls down and shatters, defeating him; as those two continues the fights with Buttercup and Bliss. Bubbles then goes alone to pursue Lester, he ultimately uses so much Chemical X to overpowered himself, as those two fight in a brawl. Lester is too powerful for Bubbles to defeat him and never figure out how, knowing that if the mind control from the Chemical X is destroyed, it can disable all the powers from him and his crew and army. And all the fights are happening, she gain her strength, manage to pull of her hardcore, holding him off and defeating him and destroys the machine mind control to disabled the powers from the Chemical X. Lester disclaimed to her that he’s not the one who wants to take over the city and the world, his master was, as Bubbles didn't believe him and left to catch up to the girls. His master says that Lester has failed the mission and is trying to make her own plan as she kills Lester.

While Bubbles is looking for her sisters to make the people of Townsville safe, Jemmica/Jemoire appears (still in her human form) and reveals to her that she was the one who’s willing to take over Townsville and destroy all living kinds of the world. 4 years ago (as depicted in the 2016 series episode “Total Eclipse of the Kart '', in the cave she have founded a drawing of the ammolite prophecy on the wall when she founds out that not only the ammolite can break out evil curse, and dark magic to it but also summons the biggest dangerous storm and also manages to not only destroys earth but destroys the universe since the failure of the prophecy attempt from her ancestors in the 1st millennium BC. In the present day, Jemoire summons all of the ancient guards from the dead, as she uses the dark magic to disguise them as the modern day civilian to attempt to find the ammolite, when they founded lester in the snow globe, and she eventually free him with her powers and making him as a general, as she order his and her armies to find the location for the ammolite and after years of searching, they’ve finally found the ammolite a week ago and she was the one who kidnaps Bubbles, puts her in the sleep with the sleeping gas, injects her to get rid of her powers and tosses her in the truck. With Jemoire has the gemstone, she’ll know that it’ll be the end of all humanity, as Bubbles attempts to defeat her with the sharp lance, she destroys its and Jemoire starts bringing her Dark Magic in and knocks Bubbles out causing the explosion and destruction of the city as Blossom, Buttercup, Bliss, and Javier heard and starts going forward to Bubbles. Bubbles survived the explosion and Jemoire began to transform herself to bring the destruction and the conqueror to the world. The girls and Javier arrived to meet up Bubbles as Jemoire starts to overpowering her with the Chemical X in a “Extreme-Measure” (similar to what Mojo Jojo did with the Chemical X from the original movie) and the girls fused to “Brambles” and Javier to fight her. As Blossom, Bubbles, Buttercup, and Bliss hugged each other and strongly expressed their powerful sisterly love to cause a giant power blast; unfortunately her powers are too strong and so overpowering to defeat her, she immediately uses her scepter to disband “Brambles” and the girls goes back to their regularly fights. The battle continues with many consequences at all time with all 5 uses their Energy Projection, but when Jemoire was about to fatally injure Bubbles and Javier, Blossom comes in to push them off but ends up getting her long hair sliced and somehow stabs her in the back. Bubbles is shocked, taking her to the Bunkers but Buttercup and Bliss have to stay to revive her. Blossom wants to tell Bubbles that it’s going to be okay for her that the world needs a true hero to stop the evil, as she gives Bubbles her bow. Bubbles hugs her warmly, as she puts her bow on and she and Javier go back to the fights with Blossom wishing her luck as she tears up. Jemoire all taking hostage for the ammolite, Bubbles and Javier enters the fray and continues fighting her, then Bubbles regular hardcore level was now boosts her level to “ultra-hardcore mode” with her new powers, same with Javier, as they almost defeating her. On the verge of defeat, Jemoire uses all of the Chemical X to empower herself and places the ammolite to her scepter to unleash and summon the biggest storms, and she amplifies the biggest and most dangerous overpowering Manipulation to its full maximum. She then summoned every lightning Thunder, Earthquakes, Floods and many others Tornadoes began to destroy everything in the city and the county. Bubbles and Javier continue to fight with their powerful abilities against Jemoire extreme powers and as all the destruction and explosions of the fights; the earthquake causes the bunker-in trapping the citizens, residents and the villains including Donny and Bluebelle in the bunkers. But the two aren't strong enough to stop Jemoire as they manage to dodge all Dark Spells into Lightning Bolts and Javier uses his Energy Projection to transform into a big wall to defend both of them. Bubbles told him if she’s finished, however Jemoire caught them and used the bullet laser to violently injure both of them. As they try to keep on fighting but getting weakened and beaten up by her dangerous abilities and use the sorcerer power to crush them to death. She then took them by how weak, unworthy, and dissatisfied of how both are that they’re ever a hero like the girls and she threw them off the ground injuring them. Once she’ll kill both of them and the entire people in the world, she then destroys other places and monuments on earth as the whole world and the universe will be ruled by her, but she then politely asks bubbles if she can join her and she’ll give her immortality to live long for eternity. Bubbles can hear the citizens, residents and the villains chanting her on to save the world, Jemoire heard them attempting to kill them. Bubbles sees a lot of Chemical X liquid on the ground and she just had an Idea, then tells Javier that there’s another way to defeat her and save the world, if they could gained more Chemicals on them, and Javier seem to think on this for a second, then they started to get up and walk weakly towards the Chemicals, and as they got to the Chemicals X, both of their eyes starts to glow up and begins yelling, breaking the sound barriers as Jemoire stops and look back. Bubbles and Javier rise up, knowing that when they're using the powers to protect the people and fight crime, Bubbles would even be what kind of person she would want to be, as her hair goes down and long. Jemoire exclaims them what they do, and both of them are in “Ultra-Hardcore Maximum” revealing Bubbles and Javier in their own color glowing effect in their clothes, eyes, and hair. As she is never beaten by those two, their powers are their last hope if they use it; with their memories from their past of what it takes to ever be a true hero as they feel. Jemoire attempts to kill them by summoning another massive storm, and Bubbles and Javier together use their Maximum Gamma-Ray Hypernova to destroy the Ammolite for good and stop all the storms around the world. Jemoire is just shocked by what she just witnessed, but she still refuses to give up as she tries to keep overpowering the Chemical X to her, and Bubbles and Javier are ready to finish the final warfare as them and Jemoire begin their Ultimate Intense Last Combat. As it continues, Javier eventually got defeated by Jemoire’s as Bubbles powers goes Infinite Hardcore at 1.000.000% as her color changed to its PPG-colored, grows gigantic wings and longer hair, as she manage to attack her and she fires a massive beam to defeat Jemoire once and for all effectively ending the threat. She saved the world was worth the sacrifice and literally dies from the use of her powers, as the bright explosive all over Townsville, destroying everything. She thanked her loved ones and the citizens/residents for her heroism.

Buttercup lifted the boulders up to make a clear way to the outside, and with all the citizens, residents and villains are in shock of the city being destroyed. Blossom in injuries starts to feel heartbroken believing that Bubbles is dead. Javier nearly survived the explosion as he tried to find Bubbles and found her being killed. He feels very emotional and wants a confession that he has a passionate feeling for her, that Bubbles secretly loves Javier and that he loves her too at the time they’ve spent time together in memory. A portal appears behind them, an unknown surrounding Bubbles as one person who revived her to life. She finally woke up, they saw a shadowy group and it revealed various characters from other universes (Steven Universe, Adventure Time, Regular Show, O.K. KO, Samurai Jack, Codename: Kids Next Door, Dexter’s Laboratory, and The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy). Steven thanked both of them for not only they saved the world and this universe but they saved their universe from the dangerous storm threat as Finn reminded them that they were given the name “The Heroes of the Multiverse ''. Some of the characters reveal that when she alongside of her sisters were created at that time, this universe has been locked as ageless by the cause of the Ammolite and when both of them destroys the gemstone, the ageless curse has been fade away now that their universe are starting living things to grow and age including people around the world of their universe. They’ve given Bubbles’s new power “Regenerate” which she’ll use to restore all life, peace and harmony around earth including reviving Townsville. All the characters about to leave to their universe, thanking them, as Mandy gives her a little smile, left and the portals closing in. All citizens and residents including Buttercup and Bliss, surprised that Bubbles and Javier are alive, cheering for them. Then Bubbles sees Blossom in the ambulance; before sending her to the hospital, bubbles gives her a bow back as the truck leaves. It turns out that, Jemoire was blasted away to the field, the villains appeared in front of her. She reached out saying that she wants a help from them to have even more revenge but the villains refused her request, Mojo broke her scepter and the dark magic made her disintegrated, fading away, as the villains have given up being bad for good.

Two days later in the hospital, Blossom is alive, then she gets a visit from her sisters and Javier. The doctor said that her body is now fully healed and she is able to leave the hospital. The Mayor called them on the Powerpuff Hotline saying that they are helding a ceremony in 2 weeks and the five of them are accepted. 2 weeks later the ceremony has been held, as Blossom apologies for the lies knowing that Lester was the one who did that to her and all the people forgave her as they apologized and thanked her. She later then passes to Bubbles as she gives an honorable speech of what it feels for them to be who they are and what they have been over the years of being heroes; as she, her sisters and Javier are willing for their retirement even though Javier has started becoming a hero but he’s okay with that, and she looks upon the future of peace and life for the world. The villains come on the stage, and Mojo thanks her for how good they feel inside knowing that he and his crew will give up and also retire being bad. She thanked the citizens and residents for all of their support throughout the years and she pulled out the cloth to reveal a statue of her and Javier for their heroism. At the Hall, the Mayor watches the ceremony and wishing them luck on their retirement, but then a woman's voice that he recognizes and heard until he sees Ms. Bellum came back to Townsville after 6 years of absence and made their reunion. All the girls and Javier used the Antidote X to get rid of their powers, and was a caution to cause aging for the girls and Javier as they have their own age and date of birth. As Javier was going to leave Townsville and head back to Bleweround, Blossom ask him if he could stay here at Townsville so that he won’t be lonely until Gina and Leonard arriving telling him that it’s ok that they’ll be able to have a good life without crime, and Javier giving both of them a farewell and begins to have his new life at Townsville with the girls and have a romantic relationship with Bubbles. As the next school year arrives two months later, he attends Midway Elementary where at lunch time he’s very alone without the girls due to them being graduated until three girls named Sami, Allie, and Adri want him to join them and become friends. Throughout the years, the Girls and Javier begin to age from a young child to a grown adult as they continue their lives attending Middle School, High School and College as all of them graduated and now have careers for them. Blossom became a Librarian and met Zane (her new love interest, which after Jared came and asked Blossom if she wanted to be his love interest again, Blossom rejected him after how he treated her years ago, so she went with Zane instead), Buttercup became a punk store owner and met Slimeo during skydiving, Bliss became a professional online streamer, Javier became a Basketball Player, and Bubbles became a songwriter, pianist and a singer which she faced her fears of singing to the public, Also the retired villains continuing their good lives as well. Bubbles and Javier have been in a romantic relationship for 23 years at the time they’ve met, he proposed to her to marry her as the next three months they’ve got married and start to live in her own house which Professor gives it to her as her sisters and her professor give a farewell goodbyes until they meet again in the future.

7 years later after they got married, Pokey Oaks Kindergarten was rebuilt and now reopened 25 years ago; A young boy name “Jay” is in class with Ms. Keane, and his classmates and after school he finds his parents who are Bubbles and Javier’s son. At home, Jay told his mother of how she and his father are heroes because of his dream of helping some people like his parents and his aunts, as his parents would love to see him follow his dreams like how Javier has done when he was his age. Before those families are going out of town for the reunion with Bubbles sisters and the professor, she saw Jay’s drawing of him and his parents, tearfully reminiscent of her drawing of her sisters and the professor at the time when they were created one day before; years ago and all the wonderful memories she made. As the story comes to an end, all the way 30 years ago, the girls and Javier takes their one last flight though Townsville and the skies, as Bubbles transformed her infinite hardcore form one last time; and so for the very last time, the day, the world and the universe is saved, thanks to The Powerpuff Girls and Javier (particularly Bubbles), as they’ll be remembered from the heart and souls, forever.
