Author's Note: The concept of this story has been in my head for some time now, But I finally felt inspired to write it when my English class began reading the poem, "Divine Comedy" and then I became curious. I watched my brother play the game 'Dante's Inferno' (based off of Divine Comedy) and that's when some of the concepts for the circles of hell came to me.

Him's P.O.V.

I looked through the green portal at the end of my bed, watching a little movie, of sorts. They were short clips of every fight the girls have ever been in. All the monsters I sent out, and I still can't find a weakness in those little brats. Time and tide, the girls have defeated me. Even in their own dreams! I flopped onto my bed and groaned. I'll never beat those self-centered little- wait. Hang on. There is a reoccuring theme in alot of these fights that I may be able to manipulate. The girls top priority is to protect Townsville, but when their 'father' is threatened, they chase him down like a rat through a maze. I turned away and thought just as another clip came up of the girls beating the stuffing out of Mojo Jojo. I am very surprised that he's still alive.

Those stupid girls are so 'pure' and 'fragile' I just can't even wrap my mind around the fact that they aren't traumatized by the things that they fight. If they spent a day in my realm, they would plunge into insanity- WAIT! I just had another idea. I can kidnap the creator and bring him down hear, and the girls would have to go through my realm! They are the rats, and hell is the maze. Those stupid powerpuff brats are going to learn the real facts about life as soon as they step foot in hear. They shall learn life isn't always about gumdrops and butterflies.

I began to laugh like the crazy, insane being I am. I teleported into a red cloud and reappeared in front of the girls and their father.

Blossom's P.O.V.

The professor and my sisters all laid back on the front lawn, watching the twinkling stars blink across the night sky. This day was perfect. No fighting, no crime, no monsters. Just us, going to the park, going to the movies, and just being a family for the first time in a long while. I just wished this moment would last: the three of us curled up to the professor's side on the cool spring grass. But with our luck, this would never happen. Just then, the sky went red. A cloud of red smoke materialized in front of us. That could only mean one thing...

The three of us immediately sprang into action, standing in front of the professor. Buttercup made a grunt of annoyance, and Bubbles sighed. That pretty much summed up how we felt.

"Hey, girls." I said. My sisters turned to me. "Something's off about this. Him never attacks us head on. Do you think-"

Buttercup cut me off. "Oh come on Blossom! Even you have said he's starting to lose his touch. He's probably desperate."

"I don't know. Something just doesn't feel right."

Him emerged from the smoke, wearing his usual devilish grin. "Hello, girls." He changed his voice from kind to threatening all the time. We were unfazed.

Bubbles spoke, "This better be good Him! You just ruined the most perfect day of my life, and I feel like knocking some teeth out!"

Buttercup looked taken aback by Bubbles sudden, brave outburst, and she smiled.

Him laughed. "Oh girls, you're so cute when you think you're tough." He said mockingly. He waved his claws through the air, leaving a trail of pink smoke behind until there was smoke all around him. Once it cleared, he was holding the professor by the throat. The professor choked, trying to breath. We knew what him was trying to do, he subdued us.

"That's better girls." He said soothingly. "I noticed over the years that your top priority is to protect this disgusting waste of human life."

Buttercup lunged at Him, but I pulled her back. Him gave a sinister laugh. "You girls think that you're the very definition of perfect. That you're the very symbol of a good little girl because of your purity. Well today, I am going to throw all of that away. Follow me to the inner bowels of the inferno! Let's see if you can protect your father let alone your sanity! And when you've failed and reality is laughing at you like you're an ignorant child on the floor you will know, that I. Have. Won. So ta-ta girls."

We shook at Him's burst of anger. He really hates us. He despises us. He wants to make us suffer. I laughed, "You're so cute when you think you've won, Him" He growled.

"No girls!" professor choked. "Save y-yourself! Don't let me sacrifice what makes you girls who you are!"

"Oh professor," I assured him in a gentle tone. "I don't think anything Him has up his sleeve would affect us!" The girls and I smiled. But Him just...smiled.

"Don't act so smug, girls."

We leaped up at Him, but he vanished before we could get to him. We looked around, but the smoke was clear, the sky war re-filled with the stars, and the professor was nowhere in sight.

"THEY TOOK THE PROFESSOR!" Bubbles wailed. At that moment, a green portal opened up in front of us.

"How far would one go to save the people they love?" Him's voice echoed. "Step inside girls, and experience the horrors of real life. It's time you get spoon fed a little taste of reality."

I scowled, thinking if it was a good idea. Of course it was a good idea! He has the professor hostage!

"Come on girls. Him has gone to far this time." I commanded in a leader-like tone.

Bubbles looked scared. "Blossom? I'm afraid to go in there. Him made it seem like we may really become...g-gone."

I took her hands in mine. "Nothing Him has ever done was frightening to you. He's probably bluffing." I said with a smile.

Buttercup was cracking her knuckles and becoming restless. "Let's go ladies! I feel like kicking that red guy's stupid face in!"

"What about Townsville?" Bubbles inquired.

"I think the town can survive a few hours without us." I said with a broad grin.

Bubbles gave a nervous smile. "Okay. Let's go."

She eagerly jumped in, followed by Buttercup, who was smiling that creepy grin she got when she wanted to fight. I put one food in the green liquid-like portal and I looked back at Townsville. Yeah, they'll be safe. I put my other foot in, and I seemingly got sucked into the portal. Before I hit the dark rocky ground, it closed above me. I looked at the girls, who was staring into the underground world with their mouths hanging open. I turned and saw the horrors Him was talking about. Burning people seemed to endlessly fall from the non-existent sky. The river was a disgusting green hue. People were walking towards some huge monster, which led to another line leading to a boat that had a giant head on the bow.

"Wha-what's happening?" Bubbles squeaked in her high pitched voice.

"Welcome to the first circle my friends! Limbo!" Him spoke from seemingly nowhere. "Nine circles you girls must cross if you ever want to see your precious father again."

"This is horrible." Bubbles said in between tears. Buttercup and I both looked away, refusing to see anymore.

"Enjoy your stay in Hell!" Him laughed maniacally.

And all of a sudden, this seemed like a really bad idea.
