Our favorite mischievous creatures are back with new stories, new tribes and new combinations! Nine new characters split into three new tribes –the MCPD, the Medivals and the Mixies. They all will mix and combine with each other with hilarious and surprising results. Which tribe do you want to belong to? Find one that matches you best and let’s create!

Act I
It is the first day of a new semester at the Mixel School public institution in Mixopolis. Many students from many different Mixel tribes enter into their Mixing 101 class to begin. Their teacher walks into the classroom as well and tells the class to settle down. Before they begin to work, however, she tells the class that the principal has an announcement to make. And so, the principal walks in and lets the class know that two young Mixels from the royal family of Mixelot will be becoming students that day. He instructs them to pretend that they are no different from everyone else... except royal and worth millions.

They all then hear the carriage of the Medivals riding to the front of the school. All of the class gathers at the window in excitement, while the principal runs out to greet them. Cut to outside, Mixadel remarks the school to be a dump. The King of Mixelot explains to his son, the heir to the throne Camillot, that he must learn to Mix with the common Mixels to become leader material, and how he'll need to make big decisions when he gets older. Camillot then decides to take his "first step" out the carriage, while arguing whether to use his right or left foot first. Meanwhile, the principal waits at the front steps of the school impatiently, while Mixadel scoffs at Camillot. However, the King pushes Camillot out of the carriage, hands him his books, pleads for Mixadel to look after his cousin, and leaves. As he leaves, however, Paladum escapes the stagecoaches and tries resorting back to Camillot as the Principal continues to greet him and his cousin.

As they head into the classroom, the rest of the students mock them and abuse them. When the teacher tells them to sit down, Mixadel disrespects the Glorp Corp student by flinging a giant spitball from his catapult at him and treating everyone else as slaves. Camillot, on the other hand, has a hard time deciding between two seats, until Booger helps him out by sitting at another seat. Meanwhile, Mixadel continues to treat the other students poorly, even the Principal. Camillot even meets Jamzy and had a small talk about him. After getting settled, the teacher puts up a video about Mixing and expected everyone else to make notes. However, Camillot soon fell asleep as everyone laughed at him. Soon, class was dismissed, and everyone rushed out of the classroom.

Meanwhile, in the gym of the school, a Muncho coach chooses Mixadel and Camillot as the captain of their teams in the game of Murp Ball, to which Camillot states he didn't ask to be. Mixadel is the red team and Camillot is the blue team. Mixadel chooses first who would be on his team, and he chooses all the tough and brawny students. All that's left for Camillot is the rest of the students, including Jamzy and Booger. When the game begins, Mixadel is victorious in the game, until Jamzy tells him that they can win if they hit the opponents with a Murp Ball, until he was Murpified. Mixadel, however, starts cheating by using his team members as shields. Two of his members even Mix to be more successful in the game. Soon, Camillot begins groveling at the sight of all the Murpified students. Booger encourages him saying they can still win, until he was Murpified by Mixadel. After Camillot got a Murp Ball, Mixadel says it isn't fair because he doesn't have one, so Camillot starts being decisive whether or not he should shoot at him. That was until Mixadel shot him first with his catapult, ending the game. All the other students reject Camillot, stating that never asked to be captain.

Act II
The Mixels go on a field trip to Mixopolis Zoo, during this a zoo ranger tells everyone what NOT to do. As they see the animals, Camillot thinks gloomily about making decisions and Mixadel angers the zoo animals. The animals rage and cause havoc by mixing into a few huge monster mixes. The MCPD is called over, however, they fail to "slay" the monsters. After their attempt, the monsters Mix into one eve BIGGER monster! Camillot has a moment of genius and decides to mix, the few mixes working together defeated the monster, and Camillot and Mixadel go home happily.
