History

I was so peeved that Balrog would not let me in to see the birthing of the new puffruffs. He insisted most pompously that as the leader of the Puffruff clan, that he should be the first to introduce them to the world. I was peeved, yes, but I didn't argue with him. He was a good leader, and it wouldn't be easy to tell the young ones their position in life. We lived in a very harsh world. So harsh as to say that the only safe place for us to live, even exist, was a cave in the asteroid belt.

My name is Bane. I was named after the DC supervillain of the same name (as tradition dictated, we were all named with a B at the beginning). Me and my dwindling dysfunctional family are descendants of the Powerpuff Girls and the Rowdyruff Boys. A fact that I am quite proud of. I wish I could say that I built the memorial statue in the living room of our sanctuary, but it was Bunny and Belladonna. But I kept it clean and placed flowers in it every Sunday. It was sort of a religion for us, but I was the most active member. Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup were our heroes.

So how did we end up living in the asteroid belt? Because of an event 170 years ago, in 2009, when the Powerpuff Girls and the Rowdyruff Boys were teenagers.

The Girls were the guardian angels of the city of Townsville. And until they hit 12, the Boys were the opposite. Apart from the criminal population, the citizens of the city loved the girls. But it was only Townsville.

The rest of the world had surprisingly little knowledge of the Powerpuff Girls. The town of Citiesville had a certain disliking for them. And when an enemy of the Girls found that out… well, the rest is history.

I know you're asking… who was the villain that caused the downfall of Powerpuffkind? Was it Mojo Jojo, the insane chimpanzee genius? Was it… Him? The lord of darkness, the king of wickedness, the father of all lies, the Devil himself?! No it wasn't. It was Princess Morbucks.

From what history tells me, the Morbucks had one power that we never had: virtually infinite wealth. They used this wealth to bribe the town of Citiesville into starting a smear campaign across the globe against the Girls and the Boys.

Citiesville had a much stronger power of influence than Townsville. And once they started, it was no mercy for our heroes. Princess stirred up the world to anger and fear for the young supergirls. She had somehow managed to convince the world that they were space aliens.

The Boys didn't care all that much when the rest of the world started throwing hatred toward them, because they were used to it. However, it was very hard for the Girls, because their happiness was dependent on the love they received from others.

The oppression came to them in levels. Level one was receiving hate mail from millions across the world. From Australia to Asia to South America, letters came from every country with vile messages sometimes laced with harsh profanity. Professor Utonium managed to stop the mail flow with some help from the mayor's office.

Level two was people visiting Townsville just to be cruel to the Boys and the Girls. The Utonium household often suffered for this. Windows were cracked and graffiti was sprayed on the house behind the Girls and Professor's backs. The Boys, by this time, had been somewhat tamed by the Girls, and were living in the same household. Level one wasn't a big deal for the Boys, but level two was something else. People would be rude to their faces. Sometimes they would spit in their faces or throw rocks at them.

The Girls did their best to endure the cruelty, as did the Boys, but eventually it became too much for Butch. I don't blame him for what he did, even though it brought them to level three and us to level four.

The Puffs and the Ruffs had just left the cinemas after viewing X-Men Origins: Wolverine. They would have taken flight the moment they got outside if it weren't for Boomer and Buttercup arguing.

"That was disappointing." Buttercup muttered, her head down.
"Are you kidding? That was awesome!" Boomer snapped back.
"No it wasn't! That was boring, and made all the mystery go away."
"What mystery?!"
"Wolverine, dummy!"
"So what if we know his past? Big deal! It's Wolverine."
"It had Deadpool in it!" Buttercup almost yelled. "And they totally ruined him! He wasn't crazy or funny, he was just annoying!"

Blossom, Bubbles, Brick, and Butch stood around them just listening.

"Hey, who needs Deadpool when we got Butch?" Brick said. Boomer and Buttercup both laughed and stopped fighting just like that. Blossom and Bubbles giggled, and Butch just frowned.

Just then, a man about thirty years old stormed past them being very careful to rudely bump Bubbles to the side. "Outta my way, freaks!" he said. No one knew this man, so it was clear he wasn't from Townsville. He started whispering. "Honestly, they let these freaks of nature run free. They should all be sent to the moon."

Bubbles shot him a dirty glare. Blossom put her hand on Bubbles' left shoulder. "Just ignore him, Bubbles." she said softly. "He's not worth the time."

Brick and Boomer were very peeved, but Butch was furious. His disdain for these insults, no matter how small, had diminished. When the rest of the group took off for home, Butch stayed on the ground and approached the man. He jabbed the man's shoulder roughly, making the man turn around.

"What the hell do you want?!" he hissed. Butch didn't answer. He glared at the man for three seconds before kicking him in the chest and sending him flying across the street. He landed in the building opposite of the theater, despite the many witnesses. Butch then flew away.

The man didn't die. He was crippled for life.

Then came the angry mobs. Four months after Butch's attack on the man who turned out to be a union official, the Girls came home to find 150 people with torches and guns. The house was in ruins and the professor was dead. His corpse was desecrated covered with at least sixty bullet holes and counting.

The girls were in so much shock and pain that they didn't even realize that they had killed everyone at their house before it was too late. It was perhaps the biggest mistake they ever made. It meant that they would be branded murderers, and that Townsville would no longer be able to support them.

Before long they had grabbed the Boys, and retreated to the meteor they had once visited during Mojo Jojo's first attempt to take over Townsville. It was a smart move. They only visited Earth to steal food, clothes, and supplies to make their life there more comfortable. The entire planet had been transformed into a Powerpuff-hating and Rowdyruff-fearing danger zone.

Antidote X weapons were mass-produced and sent to every corner of the globe. It became a regular mission for all who live on the rock to fly down to Earth, infiltrate a Chemical X factory and steal some for the purpose of creating more Powerpuff Girls and Rowdyruff Boys. Because as it turned out, they were incapable of sexual reproduction.

They did the best they could to hold onto their happiness with their loved ones. They made more and more children to keep going.

That's why I was so excited. We haven't had any new arrivals for 20 years. When Blizzard was the leader of the family, he thought it would better to not welcome in any new members, for fear of losing them like we had lost so many others. But now that Balrog was the leader, we would have now four new members of the Puffruff clan. Two boys and two girls.
