1. Summary

Okay, hello again and welcome to another sequel. The summary page is back because I'm still hopeful of attracting some new readers, so Hello! Please don't run off just yet, especially if you have critisiums.

If you're confused, feel free to bombard me with questions.

If you have read all my previous stories, wow, some one came back! You should move on to chapter two as there is nothing new here.

This story takes place four years after the last main one (i.e. Absolute Chaos, not Hell Freeza's over.)

Powerpuff Characters: All these are from the normal series, I did not create them and do not own them. Puffs/Ruffs are 37 years old, and due to the events of the last story, they have all (possibly temporarily) lost their powers accept Brick.

Blossom: Married (see below) with two children. Has been through the mill recently, ranging from having completely given up her superpowers to being the leader of all superheroes, and then back down again. Having lost a lot of confidence in her self, Blossom was back on the rise again, although no where near the level of when she was a kid.

Bubbles: Is married to Boomer (predictably). Bubbles had recently received a huge boost in her strength and power (see below) that was having an adverse affect on her behavior. But this all lead to the lost of all the Puff's powers, and a massive falling out with Buttercup.

Buttercup: Is married to Butch, and has been for eight years. She has had serious fertility problems, and the one time Butch and her were able to conceive, she lost the baby. In the last part she saw the kid again, only to have her taken away once more. Still, she and Butch have recently adopted.

Butch: Married to Buttercup, (yes, I know I just said). Also now a superhero, but still manages to abuse his position to make money in less than legal ways. He was recently caught doing this, but has just about convinced Buttercup to let him back in the house. Devastated by the loss of the baby, Butch blames himself for the fact that they haven't had a natural child.

Boomer: Married to Bubbles, is now a superhero, and much more honest about it than Butch. Bubbles has him firmly wrapped around her finger.

Brick: Died at seventeen, details of this in "Can you keep a Secret." Despite this obvious handicap, he is still a major character. Used to work for Death collecting the souls of those who have just died. He is still in love with Blossom, who also still loves him. In the last main story, Brick managed to get back into the real world to save them from Bubbles and Buttercup who'd both been turned evil by the massive power they had absorbed, but as a result ended up in Hell. Not before he'd kissed Blossom though. In the short story in between he managed to escape Hell by doing a deal with Him to give the demon his first born Grandson, which shouldn't be a problem, since Brick doesn't even believe he has a child.

Any other characters from the standard series can be assumed to be in the same state as in the show, just suitably older.

Crossover characters: I use these because I'm unoriginal. More may (and will) appear as needed, but only the two below are major characters.

Eddy: From Ed, Edd and Eddy, is married to Blossom(?) Not really accepted by Bubbles and Buttercup, but more so by Butch and Butch. Quite how he got here isn't clear. He is fully aware that Blossom loves Brick more then him, and is able to accept this, although not very well. Struggles to tell Blossom how he really feels, so tries to ignore it by focusing on the children. Was devastated by the fact that Blossom kissed Brick as soon as he returned last story, but since Brick appears to be completely out of the picture, he decided not to do anything about it.

Sonic: Yes, the Hedgehog, (I know, I Know.) He is the leader of the Superheroes, making him the puffs/ruffs boss. Sonic initially hated Blossom, due to her seemingly perfect childhood, compared to Sonic, who was fighting a war on his home planet. Sonic fled to earth after being falsely accused of murdering his wife and son. Has eventually grown to like Blossom as much as he can like a person, and claims that they have had "Parallel Lives." I will have clear that it is purely a friendship however (don't be sick.)

My characters: Characters I created. Feel free to use, if you can find one for them (which you won't, because no sane person would pair Eddy and Blossom…)

Edward: Blossom and Eddy's son, ten years old. Didn't know his mum was a superhero until very recently (did know about Bubbles and Buttercup), and not to keen on it himself. Has an ambition to be a rally driver, and refuses to use his powers at all. His greatest fear is that he may be destined to be a superhero, and that's something he's determined to fight off by ignoring. Very protective of his sister. Was delighted to loose his powers, so he can now focus on his life.

MJ: Edwards's younger sister, five years old. She has the same knowledge of her family as Edward does, but desperately wants to be a superhero. Varies between being happy and chirpy to seeming very withdrawn. Was being bullied at school, until Edward took matters into his own hands, but still doesn't have many friends. Also now has powers similar to Spiderman as well as her Puff powers. (See below) Has lost the puff powers like everyone else, but has kept her spider ones.

Roland: Another of Death's workers, merely there as someone for Brick to talk to. Probably won't appear this time, but never say die.

Sonia: Sonic's daughter.

SP: A clone of MJ, SP was created by Mojo to act as a prototype for an arm of clones that he was creating (subsequently destroyed brutally by Bubbles.) Bubbles also tried to destroy SP, but she was saved by Butch, who feels responsible, as he helped Mojo create her. SP later escaped, and was determined to kill Bubbles, MJ and Mojo (who sent her away for failing). SP has purple eyes and Black hair, and is a defective clone, so is weaker then MJ. After the last story she was adopted by Buttercup and Butch.

Brandy: Buttercup and Butch's unborn child. Looked after in Death's domain by Brick and his room mate Roland, she was taken by Brick to earth in the last story to help save the world. Succeeded, but was then taken back by Death to avoid her being dragged down to Hell like Brick was. The pain of seeing her Daughter taken away a second time is the motivation behind Buttercup's current hatred for Bubbles, who's fault the incident was.

Other concepts

SSR: the government funded superhero organisation. Sonic was charge and Blossom was second in command, but Sonic treated her more as a glorified secretary. When Sonic got arrested and taken back to his home planet for execution, Blossom took over as leader, but later got arrested herself for murder. In the end Sonic got back and took over the SSR again, but Blossom is now a proper second in command. The other Puffs/Ruffs are also members, as well as anyone else I pull out of thin air.

Blossom's secret: Related to Brick's death. Basically, in confusing, high pressure circumstances, Blossom ended up killing Superman, who'd just killed Brick. Sonic was first on the scene, and covered up for her by claiming that Brick killed Superman, and Blossom killed Brick in response. Other people that were aware of the truth were Eddy, Butch and Boomer – who were told so they didn't try to get Blossom out of her sister's lives. NOTE, Bubbles and Buttercup did not know.

Eventually, it was found out be the rest of the world, and Blossom was in jail awaiting almost certain execution, when the remaining citizens of Superman's home planet arrived to try and conquer earth. Blossom was able to defeat there leader and became the hero of the hour. She was thus pardoned for her crimes, but is still not the most popular member of the SSR with those close to Superman.

MJ's Power's: MJ was changed into a half spider creature by Him when she asked him for superpowers, before her mother had told her that she had them naturally. Like spider-man, she can fire web lines from her wrists and stick to walls, but she also has two large front canine teeth, and the ability to spit acid. She still has her puff powers too, which makes her stronger then any of the Puffs/ruffs, except possibly Bubbles now.

However, the spider side of her mind is often difficult to control, and MJ had on occasion's gone crazy around blood and meat (as per Him's original intention.)

SP has the same powers as MJ, but is weaker. She has actually killed some one though. She and MJ also share a mental link, which means that if one is asleep they will see what the other is doing.

Chaos Energy: Sonic claims that the Chemical X that created the Puffs is actually a chaos liquid, the source of the Chaos energy from his world. He also says that Chaos energy is naturally evil, so that the puffs/ruffs are very dangerous especially if they are angry. Blossom has twice lost control of herself due to anger, and immediately became a lot more powerful, but with the side affect of not being able to control her self. This also explains why the more aggressive Buttercup is naturally the best fighter, and how Bubbles has previously got stronger when she's been angry. Bubbles accidentally absorbed a Chaos Emerald, which is what caused her to change into a satisdic yet stunningly beautiful and extremely powerful "Ultimate" version of her self. Unable to control it properly, she soon turned evil, as did Buttercup when she also absorbed the energy to try and stop her (Buttercup's form being unbelievable strong.) Blossom, who didn't transform due to not being able to reach the energy, destroyed the grey emerald needed to keep the chaos energy stable in order to defeat her sister. It worked, but cost all the puffs and ruffs their powers until the Chaos energy stabilizes at an unknown future point; except from brick, who was unaffected being in Hell at the time.

Apology: Sorry to Terry Prachett, who I've stolen some ideas off (but I'm in good company in that field!)

Right, if you think this is stupid, press the back button and I wish you all the best. If you think this could be good, but don't understand what I've just written, or want to know more, you can go skim read my earlier stories, or ask me a question in a review. If you want to read the story, let's begin.
