Episode 1: Thieves in the City
The city of Townsville, where everyone are living with their normal lives despite of it being attacked by monsters, super villains, and all kinds of disasters. In the Utonium house, the girls and the professor are having dinner in the kitchen. Bliss is also here on vacation after saving the galaxy from trouble.
Bliss happily asks, "So girls, how is fighting evil in Townsville."
"It's going good, except we've been having trouble with the robberies that's been going on. It's kind of strange," Blossom says.
"What's strange about it?" Bliss asks.
"Well, so far people are being pickpocketed only a few twenties, tens, fives, even one dollars. They don't steal all of the money from people's wallets and they're left behind where someone can find it," Bubbles says.
Then Buttercup says, "And that's not the half of it. Some of the stores are having their food stolen. Not all of them, just noticed that only at least one or two missing among their storage."
"Hmm, that does sound strange. Sounds to me like you have a mystery on our hands," Bliss says.
"Yeah. We just can't figure out what it is. What what we can tell, the pickpocketing only happens during the day and the food robbing only happens at night," Blossom says.
Professor Utonium asks, "Did anyone of them actually saw who has been taken the money and food?"
"No," The girls answer.
Then Blossom says, "It's weird. It's like the thieves blends in with the crowd. The security cameras were shut down at the time of the robberies."
"So no one has any idea who the thieves are or what they look like. My guess that at the day the thieves must be a normal citizen," Blossom says.
"It will only help if we know what the thieves look or why they're stealing those things," Buttercup says.
Bubbles suggests, "Maybe they're stealing food because they're hungry."
"Could be, but what about the money," Blossom says.
The professor says, "I'm sure you'll figure out eventually. Not every thievery is perfect, we'll wait until tomorrow to see if they strike again."
"Good idea professor. Although, it doesn't seem right waiting for the thieves to commit another robbery." Blossom says.
Late in the night, the city is very quiet. Not many people are out at night, except for guarding museums, banks, and other places that are at risk of being robbed. At a store that is labeled, 'Market Super' at the front, everything is quiet. In the security office, the guards are playing a card game since it's been quiet. Unaware that the screens have suddenly turn off.
On top of the roof, there is a dark figure is waiting patiently for someone to come out. In the dark store, there isn't any security guards around and the cameras are shut down. Suddenly, a cover for the air vent opens and someone falls to the ground. It's dark so no one can be seen, and brings out something that looks like a bag. Suddenly, a few fruits, vegetables, shrimps, and boxed food are being surrounded by a red aura and floating in the bag by themselves.
Up on the roof, the other person is still waiting for the one in the store. Luckily, the person has come out of the air vent and stand on the ground. The one hugs the other one with the bag and the other person hugs them back. Then they both disappear in a blink of an eye.
The next day, the girls have been called by the mayor about another food robbery, and hurry to Market Super. Police are looking over to see if they can find any clues while the girls question the owner and the guards.
Blossom asks, "And you made sure to lock the store every night."
"Yes. I made sure of it. The door wasn't forced open, not even the back door, and none of the windows were broken through," The owner says.
Security Guard 1 says, "The security cameras were shut down too so we don't know how the thieves even got inside."
"Hmm, just like all the other food robberies. No one forced themselves into the stores, and the security cameras were shut down at the time of the robbery. What's more, this is a different store," Blossom says.
Bliss asks, "How many food stores have been?"
"There has been ten food stores that has been robbed in the past two weeks. The same story, no one has seen anyone and the security cameras were deactivated," Blossom says.
Bubbles asks, "What do we do?"
"Only one thing we can do Bubbles, we got to catch who is even doing in the act," Blossom says.
Buttercup smiles, "Oh yeah, we're going to go on a stake out."
"That's right, if each of us look out for a store that hasn't been robbed, there is a chance that the thief will target one of them," Blossom says.
"Will it work," Bubbles asks.
"It will, because I'm going to help you," Bliss says.
"And we're happy to get the help," Blossom says.
Later in the night, Bubbles is watching over Pete's Penguin from the stop of the higher buildings. Buttercup us watching one of the food markets on a different building in a different part of town. Blossom is watching over the restaurant district over one of the restaurant buildings. Finally, Bliss is watching over another marketplace in a different part of time. The girls wait, and wait for anyone to come walking by, but so fark nothing happens.
Buttercup is so bored that she falls asleep. Soon enough, bubbles is fast asleep as well. Blossom is making sure she stays away by splashing water on her face, or listening to loud music. Blossom sighs in boredom. They have been out way past their bedtime, it's a good thing that this isn't a school night.
On top of the building, Bliss is sitting down as she watches the store, but her eyes are starting to get droopy. She is starting to get very tired.
Bliss yawns, "This is so boring. What's more, I haven't seen anyone come by the store yet. Maybe the others are having luck."
However, Buttercup is fast asleep that she is snoring. Bubbles is sleeping while holding her Octi doll. Surprisingly, Blossom ends up falling asleep due to reading her book for too long.
Bliss sighs, "I guess, i'll just wait here until someone shows up. Then I'll go check on the ground to see."
"Huh?" Bliss says, confused.
Bliss looks down from the building to see someone on the roof. The person seems to be waiting for something.
"What's going on?" Bliss asks herself.
She then sees another person existing for the air vent and the two figures hug each other. Bliss looks closely to see one of them holding a bag. Bliss zooms in closely with her night vision eyes and gasps in shock to see who the two figures are. Bliss knows that she needs to catch them before they fly away.
Bliss flies down, as she calls out, "Hey! What are you doing?!"
The two become started to see Bliss. One of them, grabs the other one and she flies away.
"Hey! Come back!" Bliss shouts.
Bliss then flies after the two figures. The being is flying pretty fast, so Bliss assumes these two must have super powers.
Bliss picks up her phone, and call the girls, "Girls, I found two people caught red handed trying to steal food from the store.
So far, Bliss can hear them snoring on the phone.
Bliss shouts, "Wake up!"
Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup quickly wake up in shock to hear the screaming.
Blossom answers, "We're on it, just tell us where you are."
"I seem to be flying to Japan Townsville," Bliss says.
"We're on our way," Bubbles says.
The girls fly super fast to catch up with Bliss and the robbers. Over Japan Townsville, Bliss is still chasing the two superpower beings, one being carried by the other.
Bliss calls out, "Stop! I was want to talk!"
But the other being doesn't listen. The being turns around, and opens up her 'claw' making a red orb and throws it at Bliss. Bliss quickly kicks it in the air, and it explodes.
"Bliss!" The girls call out.
Just then, Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup are flying by Bliss' side.
"Girls, those robbers have super powers and it doesn't seem that one of them is going to give up that easily," Bliss says.
Blossom says, "We should follow them and see where they're going."
"Then we kick their butts!" Buttercup adds.
The girls then follow the mysterious figures to a farther part of town full of old buildings. The girls are curious to see the two figures are heading into the part of the city where old buildings are scheduled to be torn down.
Bubbles asks, "Where are they?"
"They just disappeared," Buttercup says.
Bliss points out, "There they are."
The girls zooms to where they see a red stream of light heading into an old house. This house seems to be blue, but old, and it looks like it's falling apart. The girls land on the ground and become curious.
"They went in there," Bliss says.
"That's strange. No one lived in that house for years," Blossom says.
Buttercup says, "Who cares, let's go sock them in the face."
Buttercup flies in the house to confront the two robbers. She lands on the floor to see the two figures in the room and stunned to see the powerpuff.
"Alright, you're going to surrender or are you going to get stomped," Buttercup demands.
The two girls don't say a word. One of them hold the other one close.
Buttercup smirks, "Looks like it's the hard way."
Buttercup flies at them to attack, but one of the girls reveals a red claw and zaps Buttercup to the wall.
Buttercup looks up, "What the?"
Suddenly, the lights turn on and Blossom, Bubbles, and Bliss appear through the door.
"Buttercup, what's going?" Blossom asks.
But when all four girls turn, they gasp in shock to see the two robbers. They see two girls wearing homeless clothes, and from their appearance, they look like the girls, but different appearances.
The first one has red skin, green eyes, black short black hair with red highlights and a widow peak, and holding out a dark red claw ready to attack. She is wearing a red shirt with a red jacket over it, black sweatpants, and black slip on shoes.
The other girl is hugging the other one. She is wearing a blue dress with a white belt with black pants, white slip on shoes, a purple jacket, and black glasses. She has black hair as well, but her is long and is in a bun with green highlights, she also has a widow peak on her hair.
"Those girls?" Blossom asks.
"It can't be," Bubbles adds in shock.
"I know. They seem to be PowerPuffs like us, but there's something different about them," Bliss says.
Before the girls can reach, Blossom and Bubbles are surrounded by a red aura and are pinned to the wall like Buttercup. Bliss gasps in shock and face the girl with the red claw. Seeing her green eyes, Bliss can see something that is making her think differently.
Bliss begins to walk forward, "Now calm down, we don't want to hurt you."
The red skinned girl doesn't listen, and opens her claw to release her power. Bliss manages to get close enough to reach the girl's claw and closes it. Then shows a reassuring smile on her face, making the red girl gasp in shock.
Bliss calmly says, "You can trust me."
The red girl looks into Bliss' eyes. She doesn't know why, but can tell Bliss is telling the truth. Then cancels her powers, making the girls fall down. Bliss looks to see the food and money on the ground and some are in bags. She then looks around the house and notices that they are the only ones here.
"Are you two, living here alone?" Bliss asks.
The two girls slowly nod their heads. Then the red girl levitates a paper. Bliss takes it and reads what the paper says.
Bliss realizes, "That's why you two were stealing food and money. You both were planning to leave because this house is going to be torn down."
The girls slowly nod their heads.
"You mean, they're both are, orphans?" Bubbles asks, whispering to Blossom.
"I think they are. It's no wonder they're stealing food and money. They need them to survive," Blossom says.
Bliss turns to the two girls, "I understand why you both are doing this, but stealing is still wrong. I get that you don't have a choice, but committing crimes isn't a way to solve it."
The two girls sadden in remorse.
Buttercup asks, "So what do we do now?"
"Yeah. We can't let them live like this. They both look like they're ten years old," Bubbles says.
"I know. And it doesn't seem that have a family or a read home to live in," Blossom says.
Bliss then has an idea, she turns to the girls, and says, "Girls, if you both want, you both can come with us."
The two girls become confused.
Bubbles likes the idea, "Yeah. you can live with us and we can be your sisters. You'll have three young sisters, and a big sister."
"Bubbles. Bliss, are you sure that's a good idea?" Blossom asks.
"Yeah. Those two attacked us," Buttercup adds.
Bliss says, "I think they were scared. Scared that we're going to hurt them. Anyway, we can't let them live like this just to live. If we take them with us,we'll give them food, new clothes, a home, and a loving family."
"Yeah. I say they go with us," Bubbles says.
Blossom and Buttercup think about it, and says.
Blossom says, "Of course, they can live with us. I'm sure the professor has room for you two."
"Fine. Let's get going," Buttercup asks.
Bliss says, "How about we introduce ourselves first. My name is Blisstina, but you can call me Bliss."
"I'm Blossom," Blossom says.
"Bubbles!" Bubbles happily cheers.
Buttercup says, "Names Buttercup. So what do we call you two."
The two girls think about it for a minute and think the girls can be trust.
The red girl says, "Blair. My name is Blair."
"And my name is Bella. Bella Marie, but you can call be Bella," The green girl says.
