Three streaks of light zoomed across the sun setting sky, one a bright pink, one a sky blue and the final streak a jade green. The lead one was Blossom, wearing her signature red and white outfit and sporting her bright red bow that was placed in her hair, turning eighteen just a week prior, Bubbles flew up behind her wearing a bright blue skirt and white tank top, her normal uniform consisted of a similar scheme to Blossom's except it was light blue and had flowers designed into it, flying at a distance behind them was the last of the heroes Buttercup, she was wearing a dark green shirt along with black jeans.
Normally on a night such as this one the three super powered teens would be in bed or with their father, but a serious problem in town had them racing out to meet the villain responsible. Blossom tilted her head back and said," why is it always on a school night, they can't just allow us a break ever?" Bubbles smiled and said," It will be alright Blossom, besides most villains are too scared to put up a fight anymore, I hope it's Mojo, he will just rant and give up like normally."
While Blossom was listening to her childish sister, she couldn't help but notice the still and quit as usual girl floating behind her, slowing down a bit she says," hey Buttercup is everything alright, you seem a bit down, and more than usual?" Buttercup looked up and gazed into her sister's eyes, shaking her head she signaled with her hands," It's fine, just recalling the events of my accident again…" Blossom could still remember the time her sister lost her voice.
Eight years ago…
Blossom flew down, whipping her bright red hair around her face she said," Alright Him, give it up you know none of your tricks work on us anymore, after all the mind games we are no longer effected!" Him floated above the three girls as he spun for a few seconds and looked down to them, smiling with a sinister grin he said," My I must say I don't know what you're talking about, I am simply enjoying the night is that a crime?"
Him swerved his claw around to point in all directions, folding his arms behind his back he floated down to them as the three got into a fighting stance, Blossoms shouts," enough of this game Him, we all know what you did to the GanGreen Gang, even though there villains they should never have to suffer the way they did!"
Him chuckled and said," My if you already knew what I did then what was the point in stopping to ask me, you know how I am Blossom, I wouldn't give up if my life depended on it, but less about me, you want to know more of the mind power I used to cause them mental damage to their inferior minds don't you?"
Blossom glares and says," I just want to know how I can counter it Him." Him burst into a fit of laughter, holding his side for support he wiped a tear from his eye and said," Whew that was funny, you really think you have a chance to help them, I'm afraid there too far in to get out, you see this mind trick sends you into one area, each person is located there and… you know what it might just be easier to show you, enjoy the trip!"
Him suddenly spiked his energy as the wind rushed around him, chanting into the wind as he swirled it with his claws the strange red smoke made contact with the three heroes, Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup coughed in the strange toxic like cloud. After wiping it away the three were startled to find themselves in a desert like area.
The sound of Him's laughter could be heard ringing all around them as he said," Welcome Bubbles, Blossom and Buttercup to The Plain, this is where the GanGreen Gang's true consciousness is now located as well as your own… The point you may be asking? Well you see in here you will be faced with challenges, ones that will test what your capable of, your more the welcomed to team up but really there is no hope, so long girls…"
Him's voice finally faded and the girls each began walking out into the vast desert, Bubbles said," Him said that the GanGreen Gang is here, maybe if we help them out there bodies in the real world will not be lifeless as they are?" Buttercup shouts irritatingly," Oh please Bubbles that is so stupid, why would that work there just lifeless bodies now, nothing we can do but to get rid of them."
Blossom shouts back," Listen up, we are going to get everyone out of here, first we have to find them!" As if on cue there was a large explosion heard in the distance, followed by a loud cussword and a few snickers. The three raced over the hill nearby and found the GanGreen Gang in a battle with a large creature constructed from rock.
Ace shouts," damn it, why can't we break this thing!" Buttercup shouts," Maybe it's because your just not strong enough, why don't you let the girls take care of it!" Ace was startled at the sound of their approach, smiling he said," Eh, so Him got you guys to huh, damn that freak when I get out of here I am going to set him straight!"
Blossom said," then it looks like we have an understanding, look here is the deal, we will each help each other out and get Him for this, does that sound fair?" Ace rubbed his chin and then said," well I guess, alright then let's get this big guy down first, we have been fighting him for about three days now, Big Billy is starting to get tired."
Big Billy flew back and hit into one of the sand mounds nearby, pushing out he waved over before charging out and knocking the large creature back before getting kicked again, Ace mutters," this is never going to work, what the hell is it anyway?" Blossom answered," That would be a Golem, there said to be created from clay or such objects and fused with a magical substance in order to bring it to life, there are other ways also but that is the primary way to make one."
Ace asks," So how do you kill one of them guys?" Blossom nods her head to her team, she says," just follow our lead." Blossom and Bubbles raced out straight at the creature, the creature backed away trying to avoid them, Buttercup rushed from behind and knocked him into them, Blossom and Bubble both upper cut it sending shockwaves crumbling the creature.
Landing Blossom says," good job team we did it!" Ace shouts," Guys it ain't done yet, he can rebuild himself!" The rocks began to shift back together as the creature formed itself again, Blossom was startled to say the least, she didn't realize they could do that, she shouts," Alright new plan, if we heat the rock up and melt it then it can't reform into a solid figure."
Bubbles and Buttercup race out firing there lasers at it, slamming into them the creature sends them flying back, Blossom knocks him over and slams him into the ground, the other two begin blasting him again, roaring the Golem stands back up, reaching into the ground it pulls up a large stone and hurls it at them, the girls dodge however Ace is knocked to the side from the rock.
Blossom charges her laser and blasts him, the others quickly join in to, the golem swipe at them but there blinding lasers knocked his sight off, his legs began to crumble into liquid and puddle on the ground, about half way up Blossom stops firing and the other two follow, she says," alright lets go, he won't do us any harm now, he can't follow us let's get going!"
Buttercup rolls her eyes but snatches up one of them GanGreen Gang and takes off with him, the other two carry the rest, Big Billy says," Eh so were we goin now?" Blossom says," well Him said there are three challenges we are going to have to face in order to break the control of our minds, I'm guessing the Golem was one of them, how did you find him?"
Ace says," We were searching in this cavern like place when Big Billy decided to grab this glowing crystal in the ground, after he pulled it up the creature formed nearby and attacked us, I still have it here look." Ace pulls a small crystal in a rectangular shape out of his jacket pocket, Blossom says," It seems to glow on this side, do you know anything about it?"
Ace replies," Not really, we just found it in the cave." Big Billy says," But red man say we need three but one makes uh….. One." Ace asks surprised," wait what Billy, did Him tell you something?" Big Billy nodded his head and said," Uh, yah he tol me we nee three rockies to open the door." Blossom says," So he must mean there are three different rocks like this we need to find, each unlocking a single door that requires three."
Ace asks," Yah but where is the door and where are the other two?" An all too familiar sinister laugh echoed around them, Him said menacingly," Bravo, bravo heroes you managed to save the dirt gang and get the first piece but mind you the next one will be far more challenging then the last, hope you have enjoyed living this long, bye now."
The desert suddenly began to end as they reached a beach, a lager body of water lay in front of them now, Buttercup slaps her hand across her face and says," Don't tell me, it is down there in the water?" Blossom nods and says," Probably so, only problem is that the gang can't breathe underwater, how will we all get it?"
Big Billy smiles and says," Uh grub can make bubbles and we get in bubbles and bubbles will breath under water." Buttercup slaps her face again and asks," Uh English please?" Ace responds in a monotone voice," Grubber can make bubbles and then we can all go down below in them." Blossom scratches her head and says," Alright then, you guys can get in the bubbles while we will just go by ourselves."
Nodding they each enter the water after getting into bubbles, Bubbles spins in the refreshing cold water as she swam, Buttercup shook a bit since she didn't like water to much, Blossom continued to swim down, surprising her however was the large mechanical base at the bottom of the bay, Ace says within the bubble," eh, you guys seeing this thing to?"
Receiving nods only, they each marvel at the large underwater base they were swimming for, Snake says," You knowssss whatsss thissss placeee isssn't half bad, it looksss rather roomy and comforting." Ace nodded his head as they landed on the bottom of the bay, walking forward a large door was present; a strange node was located around it in three different locations.
Ace smirks and says," Hey Miss smarty pants how do we get the door open?" Blossom glares at him but says," Well it looks like some kind of combination trick, you see the three nodes around us, there is a high one, a low one, and a medium one, what if we hit all of them at the same time?" Ace nods his head and says," Uh yah you three do that, kind of hard to hit outside a bubble." Bubbles giggles at his remark and floats over to one of the nodes.
After lining up they each strike at the same time, a loud sound resonates and echoes through the water, each gang member having to hold their ears, another sound rings as the door lights up and opens, they quickly swim in and upward reaching solid ground above, smiling as they are released from the bubbles, Ace breaths in fresh air and says," Alright well that wasn't so bad, so now I suppose we move through to the end right?"
Blossom scratches her head and says," I suppose so I just don't get it, Him said that it would get harder as we go along but this seems easier than what you said happened." Suddenly a loud grinding noise behind them made them turn; the wall began to move slowly as water began to flow in, Ace shouts," Run!"
They managed to make it a few feet before the water rushed them and shoved them forward, quickly being overtaken by the water the team was forced under, ace managed to swim back up to the surface while the others struggled to swim forward. The girls quickly shoved them up the small sloped hill and reached the land above again.
Ace said," Damn it, this whole place is going to come down on us while we are inside, there was some kind of booby trap wasn't there?" Blossom shook her head and said," Probably, we should keep going it might happen again." There were more grinding noises as they began to rush through the long hallways, water met their heels as they reached the other side and ran down the other corridor, water began to splash up and trip some of them as they swam through the rest of the hall ways, turning the last corner they met a large metal door which was shutting fast, rushing in with the small amount of water afterwards they fell to the floor exhausted.
Ace took a few breaths before wiping his face and suit down which was soaked completely in water, he threw is hands down and said," that asshole tried to drowned us, what should we do next Blossom?" He had tons of anger seeping through his voice but given the situation she didn't exactly blame him, sighing as she wiped herself down and wringed her hair out she said," well it seems we only have one way to go and that is straight, let's get going, the sooner we are out the sooner we can get Him for this!" The others nodded quickly and followed after her.
