I started a temp to hire job through a staffing agency back in May. They fired 6 of the 8 people I started with during/right after training. They kept me and one other guy. After 2.5 months, they extended our contracts for August/September. They kept giving me more duties and such, so I thought I was safe especially since I had perfect attendance and was always on top of my work. Just last week the managers decided to in their words...let me go in order to make room for a permanent employee.
I feel a bit salty since that "permanent position" was what I was trying to get. The best part is the person they offered it to ended up declining it.
Why is it so hard to get "perm" jobs anyway?
Anyway, since I am back on the job search, how can I explain this in an interview if asked?

Maybe I should show them how supreme I really am.

OP there are dozens of reasons on why this may have happened that have nothing to do with you.
Swallow you pride and move on and feel good that you got a good reference. This can help you get a permanent job.
It would help to know your age, education/training level, location, and your financial situation

22 y/o, currently in school, Arizona, and will probably be unable to pay next month's rent if I don't find something soon. Finished updating my resume today/looking around now.
The only reference I got from there was my co-worker/friend I made there. I don't think the managers even knew my name considering they always called me by other people's names. (They segregate temps from perms and looked at us as if we shouldn't even be breathing the same air as them). It was literally just me and my friend in the a room all day unsupervised...kind of hard to establish yourself in that kind of environment.

Stop wearing crotchless lederhosen to work and maybe they'll hire you.
