Chapter 2
Power Puffs and a 4th Wall
Townsville High, Class O
Takechiro walked in as he seemed that he was one of the first ones there. Sitting up in the front was someone who seemed to be a year younger than Takechiro himself. The boy had fluffy, black hair and was wearing sandals and a red shirt that had a yellow star on it. "Um…is this the right room?" Takechiro asked the boy. The boy joyfully responded, "Yeah, this is room O, the "Power Training Room"."
"Um…I'm Takechiro. I'm new here…"
"Hehe, the name's Steven, Steven Universe. I'm from the coast side city that's about an hour away from here."
"A-An hour?! H-How do you get here every day?!"
"Oh that's easy. Garnet and them let me use the Gem Teleporter to get here."
"G-Gem Tele-…you know, never mind." Takechiro sat down next to Steven as they waited for some time.
Minutes later, a couple of voices could be heard from outside, "Aw crap! We're gonna be late!" One said. It was a girl's voice that sounded very pure and mature.
"Oh, I'm sure Mr. Syke will forgive us~!" Another girl voice spoke out. That one sounded very high pitched and care-free.
"Yeah, after it was you who made us late because you had cheering practice." Said the last, girl voice. She had a very rough tone like a tomboy almost. Takechiro and Steven looked at each other, shrugging at what it was about. In a few seconds, the door opened as three girls walked in, each wearing a different colored uniform. One girl was wearing a bright red uniform who had long, hip length, orange hair and had a big red bow tied from behind her. The one wearing bright blue had blonde hair and was tied up into two pigtails. Finally, wearing a green uniform, was a girl who had a neck length, bowl cut, black hair with two strands of spiky hair sticking up, diagonally. "Hey Buttercup, don't blame Bubbles for everything. You also had Kendo Club which took you ages to finish up." The orange haired girl spoke. The black haired one, named Buttercup, lashed out at the orange hair girl, "And what about you Blossom?! What with your science clubs and math clubs and chess clubs! All with your boyfriend on top of it!"
"H-Hey! Those clubs happen to be very important!" The orange haired girl, Blossom, retorted. Bubbles, the blonde, was just watching as the other two girls were going back and forth. Takechiro though, couldn't take it anymore, "Would you all just shut it?! You guys were only 3 minutes late! Is it really that big of a deal?" The three just stared at Takechiro dumbfounded as Buttercup eventually started scratching the back of her, "Yeah…he's right…this is a stupid argument." Blossom smiled over at Takechiro, "Thanks for talking some sense into us. What's your name? I haven't seen you here before."
"Takechiro Murameshi….I'm a new student here." Bubbles leaped on over, "Oooh~! A new student~? Where are you from, where are you from~?"
"Bubbles, it's not polite to ask things like that out of the blue." Blossom said as Buttercup dragged Bubbles back by her collar. "Um, who are you guys?" Takechiro asked. All three of them widened their eyes, "Wow, he must really be from out of town if he hasn't heard of us." Buttercup sneered as Blossom elbowed her. "Well Takechiro, my name is Blossom."
"I'm Bubbles~!"
"The name's Buttercup…"
"And together, we're the…" The three of them took up a stance as an explosion went on behind them, "The Power Puff Girls!" Takechiro had a sweat bead hang off his head. Are all heroes here like this, he thought.
"Hmmm…I wonder if Mr. Sykes won't notice we were late." Blossom giggled. From right behind them, a smirk could be seen in the shadows. "Oh…I did." All five of them jumped back, screaming from the sudden voice.
A very pompous laugh could be heard as stepping out from the shadows was a very clean cut man. He had short, ear length, smooth light blue hair and he wore rectangular glasses, a brown, vest shirt over a white, formal shirt, which had a white lab coat right over it. The girls all sat down behind Takechiro and Steven as this teacher looked down at Takechiro. "A new student huh? Well I would like to introduce myself as Mr. Syke (character created by darkcastchamp), although…" He glared at the girls as they all shrieked, "I would rather like to be called DOCTOR Syke. Am I clear?" They all answered. "Y-Yes Dr. Syke!"
"Now…do any of you know why you're here?" Bubbles raised her hand, but both Blossom and Buttercup placed them down, knowing he was only asking Takechiro. "You all are here is because all of you have special gifts that give extra-ordinary powers; Powers in which you lot still can't fully control." Steven raised his hand. "Yes Steven?"
"Um sir, why do the Power Puff Girls have to be here? I mean, can't they already control their powers well?"
"Hehe, silly Steven." Syke patted Steven's head. "The girls here are still learning about powers they haven't completely unlocked. That's why they're in here." Blossom and Bubbles laughed nervously as Buttercup looked away pouting. Takechiro chuckled a little. "Now Takechiro was it? What is your power?"
"Eh?...U-Um….I…I don't know." Buttercup started dying of laughter while Syke just stared at Takechiro, fixing his glasses. "You don't know?..." Appearing in the middle of the room was a TV on a roll cart. "Where did that TV come from?" Blossom eyed. On the TV it was showing footage from the earlier scene when Takechiro went awal in the Gym. "Huh?! Th-There weren't any cameras in the gym!" Blossom exclaimed with white, circular eyes.
"You see Takechiro, as shown from this video, you seem to have the power to manipulate particle waves."
"P-Particle waves?" Takechiro spoke, puzzled.
"Look closely." Syke clicked a button on his remote that made the screen zoom in to an anatomical view. Blossom banged her head on the table, just done trying to make sense of how Syke is doing this. On the screen, atoms that were making contact with the ball had some kind of white energy manipulating them into forcing against the ball. Takechiro was fixated on the TV the whole time until Syke turned it off. "Now do you understand Takechiro?"
"I-I guess so, but I don't know how to use it…"
"Hmmm, I think I have a way to-" Before he could say anything else, the bell rang, interrupting Syke's lecture. "Whoops, seems like we'll be continuing this tomorrow. Now head on to class and behave well kiddies." Syke waved them all goodbye as he went back to his desk. Just as the five were leaving, Syke's students were returning for the next class. When the five were going different ways, Blossom spoke out to Takechiro, "Hey Takechiro, you seem like a really nice guy. You wouldn't mind sitting with us at lunch would you?"
"Um well, I sit over with the Eds."
"Eh?! The Eds?!" Buttercup jumped back shocked.
"Well then we'll join you and the Eds Takechiro."
"Blossom you can't be serious!" Buttercup raged as her two sisters kept walking on up. "Hey! Don't ignore me!" Buttercup chased after them as Steven walked on after, waving goodbye to Takechiro, who was left once again alone in the hallways.
