Chapter One
Him's Latest PlanThe City of Townsville! This is the very city where crime runs amuck. But not when the Powerpuff Girls are on the scene. And with Crystal, as well as the rest of the Coven Girls on their side, they keep criminals in their place.
In the Townsville bank, a group of robbers run out with huge bags over their shoulders. They all pile them into the back of their van, got into it, and ride off, before the cops could arrive on the scene. But little do they know, there was someone in the shadows waiting for an opportunity to catch them. Crystal looks intently at the van from on top of a tall building, thinking that they are the bad guys. She aimed her spider web at the ready, released 12 threads of it from her wrist, and yanked on them, causing the van to be pulled into her direction. It was pulled onto the top of the same building that she was on. The robbers all climb out of there in panic, only to see Crystal standing there, with her orb at the ready. "What the-" said the first robber, "It's just a chick." "Eat lead, sister!" said the second robber. He starts firing at her, but she had a barrier around her, so the bullets had no effect on her. The robbers were shocked to see that their target remained unharmed. "Okay, that's enough from you," said Crystal. All of a sudden, the Powerpuffs and her witch friends come in from behind her. Blossom, Bubbles, Buttercup, Bunny, Bell, and Princess land in every direction around the area, surrounding the robbers in the process. Crystal's friends, Nancy, Brittany, and Sasha, float right next to her. "Holy smokes!" said the third robber, with a scared voice. "That chick's a witch!""That's not all!" said the forth robber. "She's friends with those Powerpuffs!"
"Correction," said Crystal. "I'm a Magician of Light, and you were just comin' with us." She throws the same energy orb at them, trapping all the robbers at once. The struggle to get out, but try as they might, the barrier remained undamaged. One of them got out a bomb and set for 15 seconds. Princess sensed this and threw her tiara at the bomb. It caught it, and went back to her, like a boomerang. She then threw it at Crystal, who caught it with her telekinesis. She summons a portal, and places it inside it, only for the bomb to end up in space where it blows up, causing no harm to anyone or anything.
"Thanks Princess," said Crystal. She and the others began to fly towards the city street, and as soon as they land, the police arrived just in time to take the robbers into custody. But while they were being locked away, Him, the most vile and evilest villain in all of Townsville, was watching them intently from his television set. He was angry for what they were doing.
"Another job well done from both the Powerpuff Girls and the Coven Girls!" said the announcer. "They have successfully captured the Rob Barren Gang, a quartet of thieves wanted for burglary and robbery!" Him squinted his neon green eyes at his enemies carefully.
"We're just glad to be of service," said Crystal. She then turned her head towards her teammates and said, "Good job, girls!"
" 'We're just glad to be of service. Good job, girls!'" said Him, mockingly. "Bahh! Blast those magical brats! They disgust me. So effortless! They seem to be unbeatable." He then flicked his claw open, revealing the past events of his battles with all of the girls, including Crystal, whom he despises due to the two having the same power level, they have different abilities.
"Many days have past," he said to himself. "And still they prevail." He then closed his claw and said, "Those fools will pay. Especially that Magician of Light brat, Crystal Lee! Whenever I had the chance of victory, all she would do is mimic my only weaknesses and-" He stops abruptly, having thought of an idea while ranting about how he was defeated by her many times. He then looked at the TV to see his immortal enemy.
"Mimic," he repeated. He strokes his goatee in thought, and finally came up with an idea. He then grinned and said, "Yes. It's perfect." He then looked at the TV one more time and said, "Oh Crystal. You and your friends thought that you could defeat me so easily. But little do you know, I have found out how to finally rid of you pests forever." He then opened his left claw, revealing a shadowy figure, and said, "And I know just who to turn to." He cackled at his evil plan, his laughter echoing through his lair.
Meanwhile, in the suburbs, a shadowy girl figure was walking towards her home. Her name was Shade, a girl who was once a normal teenager who wanted people to fear her. This had succeeded when she used a powerful spell book, which permanently changed her, making her into a shadow-like girl, able to take the form of anyone, and mimic his or her abilities. She took advantage of it, making everyone try to guess who is the one and who is the fake one. As she opened the door to her home, she was shocked to see a vortex in place of the floor of the room. As she got inside, she was sucked into it, and she found herself in Him's lair. She was freaked out over the many TV screens, floating rocks and furniture, and tornadoes. As she looked around in fear, a red mist sways by her. She turns into its direction and looked in awe as it forms and materializes in Him.
"Hello, Shade," he said, grinning at his new guest.
"Who are you?" Shade demanded. "And how do you know my name?"
"I've been watching you for a while," said Him. He disappeared behind a floating streetlight. Shade got up and looked around for Him. He then appeared behind the vanity and said, "It's a simple game I do for fun." Shade looked into Him's direction after hearing him from behind her.
"I simply spy on my victim," Him added, "and get to know them more." He teleported to her side and added, "But they don't know, of course. I come to them as I please."
"Is that why you dragged me here," Shade asked, "or is there more?" Him smiled slyly at her, and said, "I have heard of your ability to mimic ones ability and appearance. So I thought I could-" He chuckled, "make a deal with you."
When Shade heard this, she said, "What exactly do you propose?"
"A partnership," said Him. He then looked into his claw after opening it, looking intently at the image of Crystal. He then said to Shade, "I want you to find and mimic this girl." He showed her the image in his claw, and said, "Do you recognize her?"
"Sure," said Shade. "That's the top magical chick in Tacoma."
"Her name is Crystal," said Him, correcting her. "She is a thorn at my side." He closed his claw after telling her this and added with his evil grin, "I want you and I to work together in defeating this girl and her little friends. With my power and your mimicry, we will be invincible." Shade heard everything that Him was saying and felt like someone actually wanted her for something that she is well known for. She smiled and said, "I'm listening."
"Join me, Shade," said Him. "And together, we will destroy those meddling fools. You and I will be linked as we work together, my dear. Your thoughts into mine, and my mind into yours." Shade liked the sound of Him's explanation.
"Deal," said Shade, as she extended her shadowy hand.
"A wise choice, my dear," said Him, with pleasure. He chuckled a little after their agreement had come to pass. He knew that she would listen to him and agree to this moment. His plan was coming into fruition. Shade has joined his cause.
