The Powerpuff Girls join forces with an unlikely ally.

At his hideout, Mojo Jojo was devising yet another scheme.
"The crown jewel exhibit arrived at the Townsville Museum last night," he told himself. "Oh, how I wish I had someone who could steal them for me while I distracted the Powerpuff Girls."
"Your wish has come true," a voice said.
The evil monkey looked around, and saw no one. "Who said that?" he asked. "Where are you? Show yourself!"
"Down here, monkey mastermind!"
Mojo Jojo looked, and saw a muscular flea on the floor. "Who are you, and how did you get in here?" he demanded to know.
"I'm Ferocious Flea," the insect replied. "I entered through a hole in the wall. Now about those crown jewels..."
"How is it that you can talk?"
"It all began right here in Townsville. A man called Professor Utonium created something called Chemical X. At the time, an ant and I had taken up residence in his house. He didn't like it, so he created Chemical X to wipe us out."
"But instead of finishing you, it made you what you are today," Mojo concluded.
"Exactly. It had the same effect on the ant, only I didn't realize it until the day our paths crossed."
"And what is the name of your nemesis?"
"Atom Ant."
Mojo Jojo then explained that he and the Powerpuff Girls were also products of Chemical X. "But they have three added ingredients. Sugar, spice, and everything nice."
Ferocious Flea realized that the Powerpuff Girls might thwart their robbery. He expressed his concern.
"Have no fear," Mojo Jojo replied. "I have it all figured out."
He whispered his idea to the flea. Ferocious nodded in agreement.
At the Townsville Museum, Miss Keane was showing the Powerpuff Girls and their classmates around. "These are the royal family's jewels," she pointed out. "They are worth millions in American money."
"They're beautiful," Bubbles gushed.
"Beautiful enough for someone to steal," Blossom added.
"Precisely." Everyone looked, and saw Mojo Jojo standing there.
"Those jewels are mine for the taking," he said.
"Not if we can help it," Buttercup answered fiercely. She and her sisters began punching the monkey. While they were fighting him, Ferocious Flea smashed the display case, and grabbed the jewels.
"I hate to end this so soon," Mojo Jojo said. "But I've got a one hundred million dollar ransom waiting!" He left.
The girls and their friends watched in amazement. "Those jewels are moving by themselves!" a boy cried.
"Impossible," Blossom said. "Mojo must have an invisible henchman or something. Come on, sisters!"
After Miss Keane gave them permission to save the world, the Powerpuff Girls took off after the criminals.
Meanwhile, deep inside an ant hill on the outskirts of town, Atom Ant learned about the theft.
"Ferocious Flea is at it again!" he realized. "Up and at 'em, Atom Ant!"
He flew out of his ant hill, and flew directly into Townsville. There, he saw the three super sisters.
"What is this?" he exclaimed. "Three little girls chasing a monkey?" He flew over to them.
"Who are you?" Bubbles asked.
"I'm Atom Ant. Who are you?"
"We're the Powerpuff Girls," Blossom answered. She and her sisters introduced themselves. The four heroes discussed the situation as they flew along.
"So you and Ferocious Flea were created by Chemical X too?" Buttercup asked.
"That's right," the superpowered ant replied. "And I've dealt with him as often as you've dealt with Mojo Jojo."
The four followed their enemies to Mojo's hideout. They positioned themselves outside an open window.
"Wait for my signal," Atom Ant ordered.
Mojo Jojo took the crown jewels from Ferocious Flea. "We'll be rich!" he gloated.
Just then, the super quartet flew in. "Not so fast," Blossom said angrily.
"I was wondering when you'd show up," the monkey remarked.
"And I've been waiting for you, Atom Ant," Ferocious Flea added.
The four answered with their fists. Within seconds, the villains landed on the floor.
"Now, let's return the jewels," Blossom ordered.
They went back to the museum, and put the crown jewels back where they belonged. All the citizens congratulated them on ending yet another crime spree.
"So long, Atom Ant," Bubbles said sadly when it came time for him to leave. "I'll never forget you."
"Neither will we," Blossom and Buttercup agreed.
"Till we meet again, up and at 'em, Atom Ant!" He flew back home.
Mojo's feelings toward Ferocious Flea were different. "GET OUT OF MY HIDEOUT, AND DON'T COME BACK!" he yelled in a terrible rage.
Ferocious Flea left, vowing that he and Atom Ant would meet again some day.
