Word from the Author
Hold on a minute everyone! There's a little something I've
got to warn you about first before reading this fanfic. It being
a Halloween horror kind of a fanfic, I warn those of you who tend
to be squeamish to proceed no further. This is a rather violent
and descriptive story, and almost went too far for even myself.
So why would I write a story like this? There's two reasons
actually. The first being so see if I could write a mystery
horror story. The second reason was that at the time I wrote this
fanfic, I was getting tired of seeing a bunch of fanfics that
were full of explicit violence and nothing more. They had no
story line and no point, just an excuse to brutally murder
characters. If you're not sure about this fic, then maybe I can
suggest the exact same story, only in a PG-13 format which you
can read here.
With this in mind, turn off the lights, sit back, relax, and
enjoy some PpG FanFiction made with the intention to be intense.
Enjoy!

Pumpkinpuff Ghoul

part one
The city of Townsville. A city full of ghoulish creatures and hellish nightmares. A place where fear and terror run amuck, and a constant sense of horror spreads over all weaker than that which is. To make it worse, the folk of this accursed place rather enjoy being in a place that takes great pleasure in promoting the evils of this world.
At least ... for tonight that was true. For tonight was Halloween night. A night were average people, who are the people who hold society as the ordered and morally valued existence, seem to forget all about it. Evil is honored and at first sight, it looks like a cover up for mischievous and amoral behaviors ...
But let's forget about how this traditional holiday started, that was all in the past. The present is now, where little kids can dress up as some of their favorite characters and get free candy from other people. (Of course, most people prefer it to be little kids, but people like me like to throw a monkey wrench into that idea!) Anyway, the city of Townsville is in a whole hustle and bustle of the harmless spirit of Halloween. After all, there is no danger in the streets anyway. No criminals to be hiding in the shadows. No evil people wanting to do evil things for evil reasons. It's just a safe and hap-hap-happy city!
And we all know that reason! Yes, those perfect little Powerpuffs! They have done nothing wrong, and done nothing but stopping bad. Now isn't that nice of them! Who wouldn't love those adorable little girls who practically have super super powers to do anything they want and just smash crime in! Bwaa ha ha ha!
Ahem!
Tonight, however, it would be hard to find the Powerpuff Girls to congratulate them on all the great criminal stopping they've done. It's not that you won't be able to see them, it's the problem of finding the right one to thank!
"Man, there sure are a lot of people dressing up as us this year!" A small teacher said, as another group of people dressed up as Powerpuff Girls past them.
"I never knew people would want to look like us so much." A little green two-dimensional monster next to her said.
"Look!" Squealed a little bunny rabbit next to the other two. "There's another one of ME!"
The Powerpuff girls, the real Powerpuff Girls, where watching all the other trick-or-treaters go by. It was a cool, brisk Halloween night. The crispness of the night blew loose leaves through the autumn breeze. It was the perfect Halloween night. It was dark, but there was enough of the moonlight out to make it all eerie out. Spooktacular!
The Powerpuffs had all dressed up in a costume of their choice, to get away from their normal super hero looks. Blossom had chosen to be a kindly old school teacher, with small glasses, dress, and hair all tied up on the top. Buttercup was wearing a painted bag that looked like a big scarry monster, and Bubbles was a cute little bunny rabbit. They had gathered with some of their class mates from school to all go trick-or-treating together in groups. Since it was a parental decision, it wasn't the greatest combination of friends.
"I don't see why anyone would want to dress up as you!" Mitch Mitchelson said to Bubbles, who was watching a crowd of herself go past. He had chosen to be the character from the Scream movies this Halloween. Of course, out of the other little kids there, he was the only one there who had seen that movie (big surprise there!).
Bubbles pouted her lip out. "You're just jealous because I have the cuuuuuuuutest costume out of all of you!" She said, hopping around.
"Bubbles, that's the same silly costume you wore when we where trying to be cooler super heros!" Buttercup yelled at her, her bag rattling from her shouting.
"I think it looks cool!" Susie, who was dressed as a giant banana, said.
"It's a lot better then your costume!" Mitch said, pointing at Mary who was dressed up as Blossom.
"At least I can see out of my mask!" Mary yelled at Mitch, who was obviously havening trouble with his huge white mask he had on over his face.
"What's wrong with her costume?" Blossom shouted.
"I don't even see why you had to come along anyway!" Bubbles yelled at Mitch.
"Look, let's not get into any arguments here!" Buttercup said, stepping between the three bickering trick-or-treaters. "All your parents made you come with us so they'd be sure you are safe. Now will you all please stop fighting?"
Blossom was impressed with Buttercup's actions. "Very well said Buttercup! It's nice to see you're actually maturing."
Buttercup turned her attention away from the others. "Maturing nothing! I just want to get some of that candy!"
Blossom groaned. "Common people, let's get this over with!"
"What the matter Blossom?" Mary asked upon hearing that remark. "Don't you like Halloween?"
"Nu-uh!" Bubbles answered as they all merrily strolled down the street to their first destinations. "She hates all that witch craft stuff that goes along with it."
"Yeah, she's a fraidy cat!" Buttercup said! Both of Blossom's sisters started laughing.
Blossom scowled. "I take back everything I said about you being mature, Buttercup!"
"No kidding!" Mitch rang in. "Blossom really hates Halloween?"
"Yeah, we had a whole argue about it last night!" Bubbles said a bit to happily.
Blossom frowned. "Do you have to bring that up?" She asked. "I think we've talked about that enough!"
Buttercup shook her head in agreement. "You're right, I'm sick of that topic by now anyway. I'm just glad you decided to come with us anyway!"
Blossom smiled as a ghost and another Blossom went by. "Well, I couldn't let you have all the candy!"
And so, the six children went off in the never ending and never quite fulfilling quest for free candy. They meet the usual types of folks. There was the ones who thought every costume was cute, simply because there was a little kid behind it. The grown ups who hardly gave any candy just so there would be some left over. They also saw the cool adults who actually got into the experience and where even dressed up themselves.
"Well well well well well well! If it isn't those perfect never doing anything wrong and always stopping the productive criminals Powerpuff Girls!" Said the person at the current house. (Guess which type she is!) "You're all so precious!"
She tossed some large candy bars in the three super heroine bags, who smiled and thanked her for her obvious generosity.
"Oh yeah, this is for you other kids." She said, tossing a Tootsie Roll in their bags.
"Aw man, I hate people who do that!" Mitch complained after the lady had shut the door. "Always treating you three better then us!"
"Hey, we're the Powerpuff Girls!" Bubbles said, as she held her larger bag then the other non-Powerpuff party members.
"Yeah, it's the least this city could do for us for once." Buttercup said. "You're just jealous!"
"But I have to admit, it is a bit unfair to everyone else." Blossom added.
Buttercup looked at Bubbles, then her candy bag and sighed. "I guess you're right."
"Maybe we could share with everyone else?" Bubbles said.
Mary, Susie, and Mitch perked up. "You mean it!?!" They happily asked.
Buttercup frowned, "Count me out on that!" She said rudely as they went up to the next door.
As they were coming down the sidewalk, Blossom noticed something again. "Gee, you were right Buttercup." She said, taking note to the kids walking by. "There sure are a lot of us running around."
"I don't see why not!" Bubbles giggled. "I'm so cute, no wonder everybody wants to be me!!"
"For the last time Bubbles!!" Buttercup screamed at her sister. "Will you drop the stupid costume thing!!"
"Besides, if everyone wanted to be you ... then uh," Mitch tried to think up a good comment, "then ... they would have all been you!"
Everyone stopped walking and looked at the black dressed ghoul with them.
"Common people, let's just stop fighting!" Blossom said.
"Yeah, we got a ton of more houses to get to." Buttercup added.
"Plus it's getting darker." Whimpered Bubbles.
Ignoring that comment, everyone tried to think up a solution. How could they get more candy then the rate they were going at before the night was done? A question on every child's mind more then you think!
"I know!" Bubbles exclaimed, surprising everyone. "Why don't we all split up. That way we can all find the best houses to look for!"
Everyone was impressed with that decision so they decided to do that. They split up in to three groups and determined to meet back in one hour with a report on the heavy hitters. Blossom and Susie went one way to look. Buttercup went with Mitch, mainly to keep an eye on him, and when another way. Bubbles and Mary started going the same way as everyone else, until they realized they were supposed to go three different ways.
Meanwhile, as the six children went off on their own merry ways, a dark figure was watching them from behind the bushes. One would take this figure to be another one of those TP-ers. But this figure had a darker plan then that. It also had to make a choice on what kids to follow.
Bubbles and Mary came out of the latest house on their assigned blocks.
"Well we can certainly forget that place!" Bubbles complained as they headed on to the next house.
"I know." Mary said, holding up her newest edition to her bag. "I want candy, not a toothbrush!"
"I guess that's what you get at a dentist's place!" Bubbles shrugged.
The two walked on to the next set of houses. For about a hundred yards it was nothing but trees on both sides of the road. It was not a heavily forested area, just a few trees poking out of ground not fit to build on. That's why the next set of houses was a bit of a ways away.
They strolled down the sidewalk by themselves. The only other person on the little stretch of trees had just exited and was walking up to the next house. The only other thing on the darkened path was a shrill breeze of air accompanied by the pale glow of the moon.
"Man this place is dark!" Mary said, walking a little closer to Bubbles.
"I know." Agreed Bubbles. Every single one of their footsteps almost echoing in the dimly lit area. "But the candy store man lives only a block away!" She assured her.
That cheered Mary up fast. "That's right!" She said, as they started to walk faster. But for what reason, you might wonder. "He always gives the best stuff!"
Bubbles smiled. "Plus, he can take a rainbow-"
Before she should start her song, a dark figure suddenly burst out in front of them, causing both of them to scream. Just as suddenly as the figure appeared, they stopped screaming. It was just another trick-or-treater.
Bubbles and Mary both breathed a heavy sigh of relief. "Sorry about that." Bubbles apologized. "It's just we didn't see you there!"
The figure didn't say anything, but only smiled. Of course, that was the only thing the figure could do.
"Wow!" Mary said in shock. "I just love your costume!"
Looking again, Bubbles had to agree. It was another one of those Powerpuff Girl costumes, but this person was creative about it. For starters, the character wore an orange dress instead of the regular blue, red, or green. The person also had an enormous head just like the Powerpuffs.
"I agree, but how did you get the head to look so good?" Bubbles cheerfully asked.
The dark figure said nothing, but walked slowly towards the two. Still smiling, the figure only took one step at a time. Slowly moving closer and closer without a single sound.
It was then the two saw why the figure had such an accurate head. On the person's head was not a mask, but a pumpkin. A large round pumpkin the size of the Powerpuff Girl's head. And carved in the middle was two large circles for eyes and a jagged smile. The Powerpuff face carvings where obviously done hastily with a dull knife to give it a irregular and uneven look to it.
All three of them sat in silence as the figure crept closer to them. Bubbles and Mary started looking worried. After all, this person had not made a sound yet. Just ghostly marched closer to them, every single quite step of the way.
Trying to break the thick, dark tension, Bubbles nervously tried to lighten the dark mood. "So ... uh, do you, have lots of candy?" She stuttered.
The figure stopped striding to the two and sat in silence. It's dark twisted smile taunted at them before giving the head shake answer "No".
"You, you mean you don't have any candy?" Bubbles asked, this time with more concern then a question to calm her nerves. After all, candy is important.
The figure sat their in silence. Then, slowly, even slower then how it walked, the figure shock its head again. Its distorted pumpkin carved smile seemed to laugh at them.
An extra chill breeze blew through the air, scattering leaves across the empty streets. Mary snuck directly behind Bubbles. "So, what do you have?" Mary asked.
The character perked up at this question, intent on answering it. Reaching behind its back, the orangey dressed figure pulled out what looked like it was a frisbee. But on a second glance, they realized it was a large and sharp saw blade.
"Hey, you have to be careful with that!" Bubbles shouted in fear.
"Yeah, you could hurt someone!" Mary added.
Taking that as a cue, the smile seemed to grow larger on the person's face. Without any warning, it flung the sawblade like a frisbee at amazing speeds.
Taking the flight from the fight or flight adrenalin rushes, Bubbles barely had any time to dodge the incredibly fast blade. She almost lost a rabbit ear as the high pitched saw whooshed by, cutting through the crisp air.
Breathing heavily, Bubbles started to get up to face her attacker. How dare anyone dose something like that on candy night! As she got up, Bubbles realized something. Mary isn't as fast as a Powerpuff.
"Mary! No!!" Bubbles screamed at the site of ... most of Mary. In pure shock, Bubbles leapt into the air to avoid a redish type liquid spraying all around and took of screaming, leaving the gory mess behind her.
The pumpkin person in a crude Powerpuff mockery disguise watched Bubbles fly away. Then, in its ever grinning presence, it too left the gory scene. Then it disappeared into the woods from wence it came.
