(Opening shot: the city skyline during the day.)

Narrator: The city of Townsville...

(Pull back quickly and pan right to show a giant slug in the foreground, with people screaming and running about in a panic.)

Narrator: ...is in need of some serious pet control! (Cut to Buttercup in flight.) And here she comes now!

(She dives on the slug...her hand glowing green as if she is about to fire a laser beam from it, and plunges deep into its body. A helicopter flies by. Zoom in slowly on her, upside down and unconscious in the transparent gelatin. As the camera also turns upside down, she opens her eyes and gathers herself for another assault. She breaks loose. This is seen three times, zooming in each time, and begins pounding on the slug, splattering pink goo everywhere, then grabs it by the tail and slams it back and forth against the ground.)

Professor: (voice-over, amplified) Uh, Buttercup.

(She pays no mind, instead, she hacks her way down through the slug.)

Professor: (voice-over, amplified) Now, Buttercup... Ok, stop. (She gets to the ground.) Buttercup... BUTTERCUP!

(She finally stops swinging and puts a look of surprise on her face as she finally reacts to the Professor calling her. Around her, the scene dissolves to an empty white chamber with grid lines on the walls and floor. Pull back to reveal the Professor addressing her through a microphone and watching at a window. In front of him is a control panel. The entire setup is a fighting simulator in the girls' house, and Buttercup had just finished her training in it when the Professor got her to cease attacking the slug before turning off the simulation and returning the room to normal.)

Professor: Um, I think you got him, honey.

(Cut to behind her; he, (Y/N), and the other girls are silhouetted in the window, which has a door next to it.)

Professor: (over intercom) Come back in now. (She leaves the chamber; cut to the control room.)

Buttercup: How was that?

(The Professor flips her a thumbs-up without looking away from the panel.)

Blossom: Well, I thought you went a little too far, like when— (Bubbles pops up.)

Bubbles: Man, Buttercup! You are hard-core! (Cut to the two of them.) There was this part where you were stuck inside the slug, and it was all gross and stuff, and then, SPLAT! POW! BAM! You were hitting it, and then you were slamming, and on the ground, the punching and the kicking, and it was all dead and stuff and...

(Through all of this, Buttercup mutters acknowledgment in a bored, irritated tone. Bubbles is cut off by the Professor.)

Professor: Bubbles?

Bubbles: Yeah?

Professor: It's your... (We hear her dash off.) ...turn.

(Over his shoulder, we see the chamber through the window. Bubbles is inside.)

Bubbles: Okay! I'm ready!

Professor: Awww, ain't she cute?

(Close-up of the control panel as he punches several buttons.)

Blossom: (from o.c.) Professor, don't forget to...

(Side view of the panel; she and Buttercup are on either side of the Professor.)

Professor: Don't worry, Blossom. I know.

(Close-up of the panel again; he reaches to a knob marked DANGER LEVEL and adjusts it. A readout next to it decreases from its initial value of 9.)
