CHAPTER ONE: GETTING INTO THE SPIRIT
The City of Townsville has FALLEN...for autumn. Summer has come and gone. Leaves are changing
colors and the weather is getting colder. Life seems to have slowed down a bit; but WAIT, what's
this? It's the PowerPuff Girls playing as only super powered kids can.
The PowerPuff Girls are flying through the clouds amidst a late fall sunset; darting,
wheeling, and looping. They are having fun and enjoying life for the sheer feeling of being
alive. We see they're playing tag with the pilot of a Stealth Fighter, Blossom's hand reaches
out and touches the tail. She reads the number A113. Finished with that they wave bye to the
pilot and swoop down in a powerdive to race a train on foot ala Superman the Movie.
It's Bubbles on the left, Blossom on the right, and Buttercup on top. Bubbles and Blossom can
see each other's feet from beneath the train's wheels. Buttercup, racing along topside, can see
each of her running sisters. Just as the train is about to enter a tunnel they all dart in
front, break into flight and speed through the tunnel as a multicolored blur and zoom to the
upper stratosphere again as they exit.
Their sudden presence in front of the train combined with a loud "YEEEEHAAAAAAA!" clearly
startles one of the two engineers!
"Did you see THAT?" the second engineer, clearly a rookie, says to the grizzled old first
engineer, a seasoned veteran.
"Aye, tis nought to worry aboot lad."
"What?"
"Tis the wee ones, the PowerPuff Girls just having a bit o' fun, that's all."
"They do this all the time then?"
"Aye, that they do."
"They sure are in a hurry tho'"
"Tis no surprise, it's getting dark and tonight is...
-------
"HALLOWEEN YAY!!!" The PowerPuff Girls have arrived home from their plane and train tag and
are rapidly getting ready to hit the bricks. Professor Utonium escorts them to the door. It is a
scene of unbridled enthusiasm!
"Now remember, stay together, X-ray your candy, and don't talk to strangers."
"We have super powers re-MEM-ber!" Buttercup chides. She finishes with an indignant "HUMPH!"
"Thank you for our costumes Professor." Bubbles adds. She motions for him and gives him a big
hug.
"Yes, Blossoms finishes, they're perfect."
Bubbles is dressed as Sailor Moon, Buttercup is dressed as Xena Warrior Princess, and Blossom
is dressed as Jean Grey, the famous female redhead of the X-Men.
Professor is all smiles now, "You're so very welcome girls, have fun now, bye." He watches
them walk down the sidewalk a bit then attending to the matter at hand, begins to hand out candy
to newly arrived Trick-or-Treaters.
As the PowerPuff Girls fade into the distance and leave the train behind we see Mojo Jojo's
mountain lab. Mojo Jojo is in his living room mulling over a newspaper scrapbook of how the
PowerPuff Girls have defeated him. With every headline he gets more and more angry. Finally, he
flings a banana diaquari across the room, KERSMASH! He then tosses the scrapbook in the air
causing its pages to flutter like scared quail!
"CURSES, those brats are everywhere I turn! I can not turn because if I do they are there,
and they are there TOO OFTEN! I must finish this conflict between us once and for all, evil
geniuses need ego boosts too. I am the Lord of Lawlessness, the Maiestro of Mayhem, I must
totally and completely remove their powers, hurt them, kill them... but hoooowwwwwww" he
finishes thoughtfully.
His gaze lights on a photograph of him and the RowdyRuff Boys on his desk. "They almost did
it, they were so close, CURSES! I wonder if I could bring them back? Hmmmmmmmm."
His malevolent musings are interrupted by the chime of the door bell.
"Ah, who could that be?"
He goes to open the door and is greeted by a chorus of "Trick or Treat!"
"Trick or Treat?"
"Yeah, you got to give us all candy or show us a magic trick. Nice mask dude." Mojo lets the
mask comment pass.
"Candy? Do I look like a supermarket checkout aisle here?" He jumps up and gives the kids his
most ferocious chimpanzee shriek and laughs his self sick as the kids skedaddle down the stairs!
"BWAH HAH HA HA MYAHH HAH HAHAH HAHA, Now beat it ya moochers!"
Mojo slams the door shut. "Now where was I?" He is again interrupted by the door chime!
"OH, enough is enough!" He rushes back to the door, flings it open and sees a flaming paper
bag.
"Try to set my house on fire will they? A quick stomp will fix that!"
"CUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSS!" Mojo swears a blue streak as he falls victim
to the classic Halloween gag! He glowers at the kids out his window!
"You boys are next" he mutters to himself. "But first, I need to build a Chemical X particle
collector for MY boys. They'll be able to defeat those girls after I brief them on how I've
failed before. This time there will be no mistakes. The only mistakes will be the PowerPuff
Girls thinking they will win. After they make their mistake and my boys win I'll use ALL their
combined powers for something really special! At last I'll be on top once and for all.
BWAH HA HAHA HAH HAAA!"
Mojo begins to race around his lab. His is enthusiastic and joyous as he gathers the needed
equipment for his Chemical X particle collector. He can be heard talking to himself as he races
around the lab.
"Oh, glad I found that."
"I can use this."
"That's a keeper."
"Nice!"
In short order, even for Mojo, he has his machine constructed. It sits gleaming in the middle
of the lab. At the top is a glass tunnel connected to a mobile antenna array outside on the
roof. The main chamber is a glass enclosed chamber sitting adjacent to a computer console about
the size of a living room couch. The operating station is flashing and beeping. Mojo sits
spinning in the chair gloating, his cape swirling with the spinning motion. He is holding a
small box in his hands and opens it. Inside are three corked color-coded vials marked Brick,
Boomer, and Butch. In each vial is a single strand of hair.
Mojo begins his startup. "Good thing I collected these hair samples after those awful girls
killed my poor boys! He puts the hair samples into his machine and begins to talk to himself.
"Particle collectors ON...Yessss, Pattern Buffers ON...Yessss, Molecular Integrators
ON...Yesssss, Autosafeties ON...Yesssss. Main sequence begin!" Mojo starts his machinery and
fills the room with a whining high-pitched power build up.
Nothing happens at first but then we begin to see Red, Blue and Green tints forming in the
chamber. Briefly a massive hulking fourth figure forms behind the RowdyRuff Boys and then
disappears, its color a faint Purple. It looks like PowerPuff Bunny.
Mojo does not notice as he is turned reaching for a CD. He turns back to the controls never
knowing about the fourth figure and puts the CD into his stereo. We hear Supertramp's "Boys are
back in Town" right afterwards.
Mojo's process to revive the RowdyRuff Boys works. It works spectacularly as far as Mojo is
concerned because when the RowdyRuff Boys appear they are approximately 1/3rd meaner, larger,
and stronger. They are over a head taller than the PowerPuff Girls and look absolutely lethal!
Mojo notices their increased size and comments, "Hey, you guys are buffed! Sorry about the
toilet water thing last time."
They just glare at him, and he comments, "I used real Chemical X this time, you guys game
for a rematch with those dratted PowerPuff Girls?"
That finally gets a response. They all reply, "What do you think Pops?"
"Good, let's go scare the Mayor"
With that Brick picks up Mojo and they all fly out the open skylight. They are all eager to
resume their battle with the PowerPuff Girls and in their haste to leave Mojo makes a critical
error and leaves the equipment on.
As they fade from sight the machinery cycles again and PowerPuff Bunny appears! She is
slightly dizzy and disoriented, but is now the same size as her sisters. A look of intelligence
now adorns her face as she rapidly regains her faculties. She spies the receding RowdyRuff Boys
and Mojo and with a purple flash zooms out the skylight in pursuit!
-------
Later that night the PowerPuff Girls have returned from their Halloween outing. They are
sitting in the living room watching a movie and eating the candy they had so much fun gathering.
They still have their costumes on. From the TV we hear..."Never let go Rose, promise me."
"I'll never let go Jack I promise."
Bubbles begins to cry, "She broke her promise, she let go, he's sinkin!"
Buttercup puts her hands beneath her chin and flutters her eyes at Bubbles in jest.
"Oh, Jack I'll never leave... you're the biggest baby, it's just a movie, you really are our
weakest link!" Poor Bubbles looks like she was slapped as her lower lip trembles at the insult.
Blossom angrily says, "That wasn't very nice Buttercup!"
Buttercup begins to speak but then suddenly goes, "BLEH, what kinda person gives little kids
raisins for Trick or Treat!" She shows the raisin box to Bubbles.
Bubbles responds by admonishing Buttercup, "You're never happy, at least you did better than
that round headed kid who kept getting rocks."
Buttercup totally ignoring Bubbles asks, "Trade me for a popcorn ball?"
"No way raisin head!"
"Raisin head? You take that back!"
"Naaah" Bubbles sticks out her tongue when suddenly their feud is interrupted by the Hotline.
Instantly, they are all business.
"Yes Mayor?" Blossom has the phone. We hear the Mayor's voice, "Sorry to ruin your Halloween
girls, but there's someone here who wants to talk to you."
"Talk to me? OK." Buttercup and Bubbles are listening close to Blossom's head. Blossom's jaw
drops as she hears the growly voice of Brick on the other end!
"Hey girlies, better get over here quick, we're ready for Round Two, and no smoochin' this
time either!" Blossom jerks away as Brick slams the phone down!
The girls all look like they've seen a ghost when they realize somehow the RowdyRuff Boys
have returned.
Blossom, "Let's go girls!"
Blossom and Buttercup leave immediately. Bubbles is left behind to exclaim, "We're still
dressed for Halloween!" Seeing that her sisters aren't listening she rushes out in a blue
streak to catch them.
