--------------------------------------
"I'll remember this- Mojo!" Mojo cried, flying off against his will as his voice grew softer as he flew further away, "This isn't over- Mojo!"
"Hmph." Blossom landed swiftly, and smoothly on her feet, her yo-yo rolling back into her hand with a deft 'snap' of skin meeting metal. She was closely followed by Bubbles, and Buttercup, the latter of the two sighing as she landed from flight.
Shaking her head and shrugging she commented, "It's never over." Slinging her yellow hammer over her shoulder, she stared up at where Mojo once was, before she'd slammed her hammer into her, sending him into the sky until he disappeared with a flash. A slight breeze ruffled Buttercup's dark hair, as did the air ruffle Bubbles and Blossom's hair as well.
"Not until his dark aura is all gone." Bubbles added in her sweet voice, holding onto her bubble blowing rod with two hands.
Blossom nodded, a determined smile, that was tinted with the traces of victory, replied, "Yeah. Let's go back to the lab."
Jumping off the ground, the three girls' hair whipped around their faces, for this was the speed they were moving, after they only appeared as lines of color from the streaks that tailed them as they flew towards the now familiar lab.
"I'm getting bored of fighting Mojo." Buttercup complained, "He's starting to get really easy to defeat."
"Agreed. But it's better then not being able to beat him." Blossom pointed out, as they sped off toward the other side of town.
Landing on the rooftop of the white laboratory, the trio entered the building through the roof access, and as they clambored down the stairs, Professor Utonium was already preparing the ray that would return the girls back to their original states. It had been a good month or so of fighting Mojo every now and then. The girls began to find their new jobs as heroines dulling, as Mojo was now easy to defeat, always having similar, if not the same schemes as the first time they'd fought him.
After returning to normal, everyone sat down for daifuku buns and hot tea. Momoko munched gleefully on the snacks, and Miyako quietly sipped her tea. Kaoru on the other hand, was asking Ken and Professor Utonium if they were sure there weren't any other villians.
"Well, I'm sure there are some, they just aren't showing up yet. Patience, for now, we have enough to deal with when it comes to Mojo." Professor Utonium said, eating a daifuku bun as well, "We should be grateful that Mojo is easy to defeat."
"Should, but aren't." Kaoru muttered darkly stuffing a daifuku bun in her mouth.
"Watch what you're wishing for Kaoru." Momoko said, grinning delightfully as she held two daifuku buns in either hand, both having a good portion bitten out of them, "If you wish for a stronger opponent, Tokyo might be in trouble because we won't be strong enough to defeat them. Besides, then we won't have any time to live our lives!"
"Yeah," Miyako added, "We'd be full-time crime fighters, and that would be exhausting!"
Kaoru stopped complaining, seeing as everyone was against her, though she still had a disgruntled expression on her face, as after fighting the same insane, crazed, mutated monkey for a month, anybody in their right minds would want a change of pace!
But it seemed to Kaoru that she was the only one who was 'in her right mind'.
After watching Momoko snack on an incredible amount of daifuku buns, the three girls bid farewell to Professor Utonium and Ken for the day, and returned home. Kaoru was slightly deflated when she returned to see her older brother lazing on the reclining arm chair with a book in his hands and her older and younger sister playing with ABC blocks on the other side of the apartment.
Nothing exciting ever happened anymore. Surely, Kaoru had thought, that after becoming a herione, getting stuffed into a girly skirt, and getting superpowers, things would liven up a bit, but no! Things were starting to get just as boring as before!
Quickly walking to her bedroom to avoid being asked if she wanted to play block's with her sisters, she flopped onto her bed and thought of the homework she needed to get done.
…Nah, she'd do it tomorrow. Weekends always meant relaxation time, even for Mojo, who didn't ever do anything of major importance to the PowerPuff Girls on weekends. Thank goodness! Kaoru wasn't sure she would be so enthusiastic about being a PowerPuff Girl if she had to fight crime on weekends!
Still, she wished there were a different enemy in the world- other then Mojo.
Turning over and not bothering to change, Kaoru fell asleep peacefully, clutching her pillow and curled into fetal position.
I"Mojo Mojo!"/I
A voice made me spring from my slumber, eyes wide and horrified. Looking around, I remembered I was in my room, and glanced at my pillow. A huge damp spot was in the very middle, and wiping drool of the side of my mouth with my sleeve, I sighed and decided to take a shower and change into some clean clothes.
Sighing, I remembered that today was Saturday, in other words, no school, no Mojo, no Lab, just arcades and skate parks.
After changing into a pair of green boy shorts and a yellow T-shirt with green trim, I dashed out of the bathroom, kicking off the wet roll of toilet paper that had clung to my foot and in the process, knocking myself over, face first into the carpet floor.
"Stupid toilet paper." I muttered into the ground, peeling my face off the accursed material and again, rushing for the door.
"Kaoru!" My sister called, "Aren't you having-….breakfast?"
Too late. I'd already grabbed my green baseball cap and skateboard and dashed out of my apartment, running for the staircase- who needed elevators, when stairs were so much faster? They felt faster anyway, because you weren't just standing around, you were moving your feet, trying to get somewhere yourself instead of letting something else get you there for you.
I didn't bother to quiet my steps as I thundered down the stairs, and didn't bother to open the door quietly, as I burst the door open with both arms. Instantly I heard the honking and yelling that came with the streets of Tokyo. Especially during a traffic jam.
Hopping onto my skateboard, I skated past many people heading for work, the opposite direction I was going. First stop- breakfast! Finding just the place, I noticed the steaming pork buns, and screeched to a stop. The old man and woman who were attending the small resturaunt were working on another set of customers, until the man walked over and asked me if I wanted something to eat.
Nodding, I handed the man thirty yen, and he gave me a single pork bun. I was off again, pork bun in mouth and heading for the arcade. I would head to the skate park, after my stomach had settled. But nooo, my cell phone started to ring!
"Hiii Kaoru!" Momoko sang through the reciever, "Wanna go shopping with me and Miyako?"
Who did she take me for?
"No, I'm going to the arcade, sorry, bye!" I said, feigning remorse and hanging up before Momoko could say anything more.
Sighing as I stopped in front of the arcade, I felt my eyes pop out. Grafitti smeared the glass doors, the entire sign was hanging off it's post, and people stared in horror. I dashed inside to see if the idiots who did it were still inside. No. Nobody around.
I took note that the handle's of all the video games were either snapped in half, or were about to snap in half.
Talk about extreme! I immediately called Momoko and Miyako. This called for some serious PowerPuff Girl action! I wouldn't let anyone get away with destroying the arcade, and no less, I needed them to help me get out after the sign collapsed, trapping me inside. The back door? Well, this arcade didn't really have one, considering it was on the second level of a mall complex.
"Momoko!" I called into my cell phone, "There's a serious problem at the arcade! Somebody's vandalized and broken everything!"
"Oh." Momoko's unimpressed voice came, "So, just leave it for the police."
I became irritated and snapped, "I'm kind of STUCK in here. Be great if some POWERPUFF GIRLS could come HELP ME."
"Come on!" Miyako's voice came.
Momoko protested, "Oh but this skirt completely fits me! …Fine. We'll be over there in a sec, just change into a PowerPuff Girl yourself when your belt flashes and get yourself out of there, and we'll be over to help you investigate."
Before she hung up, I heard her say, "And now Kaoru owes me a really cute skirt!"
After about a 5 minute wait, I noticed the green compact in my belt buckle begin to flash. Yes! I immediately lifted my hand into the air, and a green ring appeared on my finger. I removed the flashing compact, and opened it up, sliding the ring through it like a credit card. It happened in a flurry of fun, doing some cool fighting moves that no monster could ever avoid!
Wait a second. I paused and didn't pose after I finished transforming into Buttercup. It was a Saturday!
I almost screamed in horror. I could be at the skate park right now! Shouldn't have ever called Momoko! Slapping myself, I opened a window and flew out, to find Blossom and Bubbles heading toward me.
"Woooow…" Blossom blinked, looking at the near demolished sign, and shaking her head, "This is pretty bad."
"No kidding." I replied snippily, but Blossom brushed it off, and lifted the sign away from the entrance. I began thinking who would've destroyed the arcade. The best one in town no less! "It had to be a hardcore gamer." I stated, and Bubbles looked away from Blossom's clean-up job to me.
"Why?" She asked, clutching her bubble blower again.
I heaved my hammer onto my shoulder, and sighed, "Because all the handles on the video games are broken right? That means somebody was playing them, and broke them right? So they had to be hardcore gamers, because people who weren't wouldn't have broken all the handles, of every single game!"
Bubbles blinked and muttered, tapping her chin, "But couldn't they have just broken off the handles so nobody could play the games?"
Sighing I mentally slapped myself. I was working with amateurs.
"Well, there's nothing left to find except the things the police have to do. Let's go back to the lab, then the mall Miyako. You coming Kaoru?" Momoko asked me again, and I shook my head.
"I'm going to the skate park instead, after I get back to normal." I replied, picking up my skateboard and following the other two back to the lab. I was glad the skate park was close to the lab, instead of the arcade, because if it wasn't, I would've just gone to the skate park like I was…well…maybe not. A skirt might get annoying while skate boarding…
As soon as I felt my regular clothes on me, I was down the stairs and out the door, skating as fast as I could to the skate park. I didn't feel like hanging around the lab on a weekend.
"Well that's that. No more weekend crime fighting for me-" I swear my jaw fell off. Not the skate park too! The ramps were covered in grafitti, different from the arcade, but in the same colors, and the fences were ripped down, broken skate boards littered the ground and ramps, and everything was just demolished. Some kind of weekend this was.
Once again, things happened the way they did before, at the arcade, minus the transforming.
"It must be a chain thing…quick Kaoru, where would you go after the skate park and arcade were destroyed?" Momoko asked me, as the three of us looked on the dreadful sight.
I strained to think, and said, "Maybe get a hamburger at the mall or something. Check out some sporting gear and see if there's anything there of interest."
Miyako gasped and Momoko squealed, screeching, "We have to get to the mall before something bad happens!"
And something bad hadn't happened yet? I thought ruefully, skating alongside them toward the mall. It wasn't what we'd expected. I guess I was wrong, whoever destroyed the arcade and skate park didn't seem to be anywhere near the mall. Everyone was shopping peacefully, and our first stop was the food court.
Nothing of interest.
Of course, we had to wait awhile for Momoko to finish swooning over a billion guys, including the team captain of every club in school.
"Let's go to the sports shop. Maybe they're there instead." I suggested, and before we knew it we were there. Too bad it was the wrong place. All of us spun around when screaming was heard, and we knew we'd caught our culprits. No less, Ken and Professor Utonium did as well, when our belts began to flash.
Quickly finding a bathroom to hide in, I was soon again…in the stupid green skirt. Miyako and Momoko were praising their appearances, and I rolled my eyes and went ahead. They would pay for destroying my favorite spots in town!
"What!" I screeched to a halt when I felt two arms link with mine and drag me the opposite way of where I was headed, "Heeeeey!" I yelled as I was dragged toward a hot dog stall.
Squelch.
A shiver ran up my spine when I realized my kidnappers had stuffed either one of my feet into a bucket of ketchup. Gross! Glaring up at whoever had the nerve to mess with me I was surprised to see a blonde boy, and an emerald eyed boy, both of whom were laughing their heads off at me.
"Why you-" I tried to pull my foot out of the ketchup bucket, and swing my hammer at them, but it simply made another 'squelch' sound, making them laugh even harder.
Immature little brats!
"Shut up!" A voice parried with mine as we said the same thing. I blinked and noticed yet ANOTHER boy, brunette like Blossom, who was reeling up her yo-yo from behind the boy. The two kidnappers stopped laughing, though it didn't seem like they were quite finished yet.
"Stop copying me!" I yelled at the newcomer, who laughed and folded his arms.
"Who's copying who?" He asked, like the brat he looked like.
One with red eyes and a red cap worn backwards, a black coat-like shirt that was way too big for him that was slashed with red to form a weird design over his chest, black chinese styled pants, and some chinese styled shoes. That was the newcomer. He was definetely the leader, by the fact that the two idiots had shut up when he told them to.
"Brick!" The blonde one called, pointing at Blossom, "Watch-"
Too late. Blossom had already sent her yo-yo reeling toward the guy, and I was about ready to cry, bulls-eye! Until that is, I noticed the guy had caught her yo-yo in his hand and was presently spinning Blossom around like a lasso.
"Yagh!" Blossom cried, as he let go and sent her flying into a boutique.
"Oh my gosh!" Blossom said, pulling a skirt off her head, "This is the skirt!"
Me, and the boys, sweatdropped. She was presently gushing over it, comparing how it looked against her present skirt from the reflection in the glass.
"Shut up you girly sissy!" 'Brick' or something yelled, pointing a finger at Blossom, "We're not here to watch you think you look good in anything!"
Oooh, they'd done it now. Blossom slowly turned around, her eyes wild with rage as she said in a threatening drawl, "I look good in EVERYTHING!" Yo-yo's went flying everywhere, and instead of making the boys recoil in fear, it only made them laugh even harder then they had been laughing at me.
The black haired boy with emerald eyes was laughing so hard I was sure he was about to die of laughter. Not anymore, I decided, lifting myself out of the ketchup buckets and slamming my hammer into his stomach, knocking the wind outta him.
He flew into a TV store, crashing and getting his butt stuffed into a now broken TV screen.
His face was a flurry of red when the others started to laugh even harder, and I took note, that like us, these boys were dressed exactly the same, just in different colors. The boy I'd just made a fool of had wind swept bangs and a sort of ponytail thing on the top of his head. Heck, I didn't know what it was, and I didn't really care after he sent a really powerful punch at my cheek.
"Buttercup!" Bubbles cried, creating a bubble for me to land on.
"Thanks!" I replied, rubbing the spot where his fist had collided with my cheek.
It was my turn once the blonde boy pulled both of Bubbles' pigtails and threw her towards Blossom, and I rammed my hammer into him as well, just to get punched in the back to get sent flying forward, tumbling into the wall, about an inch away from where the other guy had landed.
"Aww! Boomer's got a girlfriend!" The black haired moron teased, while he continued to laugh. His laugh was getting REALLY old.
"Do not!" Boomer replied, not even a tint of red crossing his face, when he hopped to his feet and grabbed my arm, spinning me around until I was sure I was gonna hurl, then letting me fly into a water fountain.
Damn.
