Chapter 1: Train Wreckage
Eight years has passed, and it's a normal sunny day in Townsville everyone are going on with their everyday lives. At Townsville Middle School, the bell has ring, and all the students are exiting the building for the day. Among the students are two of Townsville's heroines, Blossom and Buttercup. About the past eight years, they both have grown to become teenagers.
Blossom is wearing a long sleeve black and pink shirt, a jean skirt, white socks, and slip on shows. Her appearance is still the same, but her hair is close to her ankles, and has a red hair tie instead of her old ribbon. Buttercup is wearing a bright green t shirt with the number 1 that is the color orange on it. She is wearing dark green pants, white socks, green tennis shoes, and a green baseball cap. Her hair has got long and it's about to hips, and during sports, she has it in a ponytail.
"So Blossom, are you excited for our birthday next Saturday?" Buttercup asks.
"Yeah. I can't believe we're going to be officially teenagers," Blossom answers.
"You bet. It's been like eight years of going to school, fighting crime, and other stuff we done in our lifetime," Buttercup says, sounding excited.
"I agree," Blossom says.
She sadly sighs, and says, "If only Bubbles could have been there with us."
"I know what you mean. It's been almost eight years since the accident she had," Buttercup replies, feeling sad.
"And it will be another birthday without her," Blossom adds.
"I know. It kind of stinks," Buttercup agrees.
Blossom tries her best to smile, "Hey, let's not try to take this to heart. We got our birthday party coming soon, and many of our friends are coming. So let's head home and get everything planned."
"Sure. The Derby Tantes and I are going are going to play a massive game of death ball. We got a tournament coming up," Buttercup says with a smile.
"Sounds interesting, Robin, Sally, Kim, Ally, and I are going to do some stargazing," Blossom says.
Buttercup stares at Blossom and mutters, "Sounds a bit boring. But will be cool if there's something falling from the sky."
"Plus… Bubbles wouldn't want us to feel sad and unhappy all the time," Blossom says.
"Yeah. I sometimes miss Bubbles big happy face, and the drawings she likes to make. I also miss teasing her all the time," Buttercup says.
"Oh you," Blossom says, giving Buttercup a soft punch on the shoulder.
Then the two being to feel better.
Just then, the girls hear loud beeping. Blossom looks in her bag, and takes out her cell phone.
Blossom answer the phone, "Yes mayor…Oh hi Ms. Bellum… Yes... What are you sure… Right… Buttercup and I will be there soon."
Blossom hangs up the phone.
Buttercup asks, "Ms. Bellum needs us?"
"Yes. She said she need us at the Mayor's office admittedly," Blossom answers.
With that, Blossom and Buttercup fly to the mayor's office. They reach inside to see the Mayor and Ms. Bellum sitting in front of the desk. The mayor is older than he has been eight years ago. Ms. Bellum is also older as well, but doesn't seem to show it so far.
"Hello Ms. Bellum, we received your call," Blossom says.
"Hello girls, we're glad that you are able to make it," Ms. Bellum says.
Then Buttercup asks, "Why you call?"
"I received a strange letter from an anonymous sender saying that they are going to wreck the new train tomorrow afternoon," The mayor says.
Ms. Bellum sighs, "It's a threatening letter. They said that we should cancel the new train line or else."
"Or else what?" Buttercup questions at a glare.
"It didn't say. Girls will you and the professor accompany us on the train line opening tomorrow? I don't want to take any chances if the culprit shows up." Ms. Bellum asks.
"Don't worry Ms. Bellum, we'll come tomorrow and help out at any way we can," Blossom says.
Then Buttercup says, "We'll let the professor know about it."
"Thank you girls," Ms. Bellum says.
Then the Mayor happily says, "And don't forget, I'll be making some balloon animals for your party next week."
"Thanks mayor," the two sisters reply.
Before they go Blossom asks, "By the way, where is the new line heading?"
"It's heading to Crown Rose City that is over Townsville Mountain. You remember that one right?" The mayor answers.
Blossom and Buttercup eyes wide and show stunned looks on their faces. Of course they remember the mountain very well. Sadly, it brings up a bad memory from their past. After talking to the mayor, Blossom and Buttercup arrive home to see the professor have made dinner for them.
As they are eating, Blossom and Buttercup explain to the professor, their father about the threatening letter, what is required of them, and where it's at. The professor begin to feel the same way the girls are now.
"I see, so we need to on the new train line," The professor says.
The professor is also a little bit older, that a little bit of his hair is turning white, and has start wearing reading glasses.
"Yes. I never thought we would be coming back there after… after what happened to Bubbles," Blossom sadly replies.
"Yeah," Buttercup replies.
Then Buttercup asks, "But what are we going to do about Bubbles? We can't leave her."
"No we can't. I'll call Ms. Keane and see if she can watch over her for a while," The professor says.
"Thanks professor," Blossom replies.
Then the professor says, "Now after you're done eating, I'd suggests to get thrings read for tomorrow."
"Okay," the girls reply.
Hours has gone by, and the girls are already for bed. They got a shower, change to their pajamas, brush their teeth, and have their clothes ready for tomorrow. Buttercup and the professor are already fast asleep for tomorrow. All except Blossom. She has done some reading and her homework so she can have it done, mostly because she is unable to sleep. Blossom gets out of bed and leaves her room.
Blossom opens the door to a different room to see her sister's progress. Blossom walks to the bed to see her sister Bubbles has grown as well, and her hair has grown longer. She has some wired connected to her with some sticky round cuffs on the chest, arms, and head. Blossom sits down on the side of the bed, and rubs Bubbles on the head.
"Oh Bubbles, I wish you will recover soon," Blossom says to herself, and small streams of tears exists her face.
The next day, the girls and the professor are at the new train station for the new train line. Along with the girls and the professor, there is the mayor of Townsville with Ms. Bellum, and the Mayor of Crown Rose City and his assistant. The mayor is name. Miroku Tanizaki. He's an elderly tall make with tan skin, gray hair, and brown eyes. He is also wearing a white shirt, black suit with a red tie. Next to him is his assistant, Ms. Madison Roberts. She has light blond hair, light skin, blue eyes, and is wearing a white shirt with blue suit jacket, skirt, and a black tie.
The mayor of townsville says, "Friends, and neighbors, and fellow bedweather. I am so glad to see you all today with the new train line that will connect Townsville to Crown Rose City. And we our special guests, the PowerPuff Girls."
Everyone begin to clap and cheer with smiles on their faces. After both of the mayor's cut the ribbon, the doors open and the mayors with their assistant, the girls with the professor, some of the police forces, the train employees, news reporters and many of the lucky passengers who get to go in for the ride.
On the train, Blossom and Buttercup are looking around to see if there is anything amiss, without dragging too much attention. Many of the people are talking as the rain drives on the tracks.
A woman's voice says, "Hello girls, how are things going?"
The girls turn to see a woman wearing a police uniform coming towards them. The woman has short black hair and green eyes.
"Hi Carmon, you're here too?" Blossom replies.
"Yeah. the inspector assign me to help out with security," Carmon says.
"Glad to have you here," Buttercup says.
"True, but I think the mayor is more happy to have you two here," Carmon says.
"You could say that," Blossom says.
Blossom thinks, "Still, it's kind of strange that we haven't found any that is considered threatening."
"Yeah. There isn't even a bad guy for us to beat up or something," Buttercup adds.
"I agee. I didn't notice anything suspicious. At least… not yet," Carmon replies, looking a bit serious.
"Either way, let's keep our eyes open. We won't know until the villain ends up striking," Blossom says.
Under the train tunnel, there is an underground where cars are driving along back and forth. Unknown to them, a mysterious figure is standing in front of the door, and is holding a remote. He makes a sinister look, knowing that his plan is going according to plan.
Still on the train, Blossom and Buttercup, along with Carmon are searching around to see if there anything that is out of place. Buttercup also uses her x-ray vision to see what is hiding. Just then, Buttercup notices a strange person at the door in the underground highway. But Buttercup isn't able to get a look, but can tell the person is holding something. Buttercup then uses her x-ray ahead of the train and sees a shocking sight.
Buttercup turns to her sister and Carmon, "Guys. you need to stop that train!"
"Why?" Carmon asks.
"I saw someone holding a remote. I looked farther ahead, and at the end of the tunnel, there's are bombs under the tracks," Buttercup explains.
"What?!" Carmon and Blossom exclaims.
Blossom says, "Carmon, you go tell the conductor to stop the train. I need to make sure everyone doesn't go through the underground road. Buttercup, I need you to make sure everyone made it out of the tunnel from the other side."
"Got it!" Carmon says, and make her way to the front of the train.
Buttercup asks, "What about the bomber?"
"No time," Blossom says, looking serious.
Blossom and Buttercup fly to the back of the train, and use the exit to get out, and then instantly closes it. Blossom makes their way to the opening of the highway in the opposite direction. Buttercup flies over the train to see the cars get out safely.
The mysterious person can see the right moment, and presses the button. When the button on the remote is pressed, the bombs that are under the train's tunnel exit turn on. Meaning there only have enough time until the bomb is stopped.
Carmon runs over to the front of the train, baning on the control panel as she holds out her police badge.
She screams, "Stop the train! This is the police! You have to stop the train! There's bombs on the track!"
"Bombs!" the conductor exclaims.
He then informs the employees to stop the train. They have to set up the emergency exit.
Meanwhile, Blossom reaches to outside of the tunnel. And creates a pink aura around her body. Then she transform into caution tape and tape the entrance to the tunnel off. People who are driving there is seeing this and stop in their tracks.
Buttercup passes the train and is out of the tunnel. She looks to see the many cars are driving out. Buttercup uses her vision to see that Blossom is able to block the tunnel, and so no cars can come in. She flies through the tunnel to see the people are getting out safely. Sadly, Buttercup can see that the mysterious figure she has seen is gone.
Buttercup shouts, in frustration, "Rats!"
But Buttercup knows that the safety of the people is a must. She she flies back out of the tunnel to see the train is coming this way. What's more, she can see that all of the cars have come out safely. Just then, Blossom flies in the sky to see Buttercup is waiting at the entrance where the train is coming out.
The bombs are counting down faster until they have reach zero. Then the tracks that is also the top entrance of the tunnel explodes and fall on top of the road. To make it worse, the train is unable to stop and begin to slide down the hole that is begin to cover with debris. Everyone began to scream and hold down to the railing or the ground as the train begin to slide. Just then, the train begins to slide out of the tunnel.
Blossom flies down to the ground where Buttercup, and shouts, "Buttercup!"
"I'm on it!" Buttercup says.
Buttercup then manages to get to the train, but it continues to push her as she tries to have her feet press to the ground. Blossom flies to Buttercup and tries to hold the train as she is in the air.
"We got to stop the train!" Buttercup screams.
"We have to! If I recall, there's a curve up ahead!" Blossom shouts back.
Blossom and Buttercup continue to hold the train, doing their best to stop, but the train continues to bump into the railings and the building as it continues to move. At the other side, there is a sharp curve up ahead.
Carmon, Ms. Bellum, Ms. Roberts and the professor look at the front to see the train is going to hit towards the sharp curve. Everyone continues to scream as the rain continues to slide on the road. Blossom and Buttercup continue to use their super strength to stop the train. And the… wham. The front of the rain is barely out of the curve, and cause concert of the road to break. People who are seeing the debris stop their cars before they can be hit. Luckily, the girls are able to stop the train, and move the front car out of harm's way.
In the train, everyone sigh in relief to see that they are hurt badly, but are still scared or at least get some bruises.
Carmon asks, "Mayor, and Mr. Tanizaki, are you two alright?"
"Yeah. that's was a fun ride," The mayor says.
"I'm okay," Mr. Tanizaki replies.
Sometime later, after getting calm down, Blossom, Buttercup, Carmon and the other police force are helping the citizens, news reporters, and the political staff of the city out of the train to safety.
Mr. Tanizaki says to the PowerPuffs, "Thank you for saving us."
"It's no problem Mayor Tanizaki," Buttercup says.
"We are happy to help," Blossom says.
"Yes. We are glad that you were able to stop the train," Ms. Bellum replies.
"Yeah.I'm just annoyed that we weren't able to capture the crook. And I was the first to saw the person," Buttercup says looking frustrated.
"Don't worry, I'm sure you'll capture the person responsible. You just need to keep your eyes peeled," The professor says.
"Yes professor," the two sisters reply.
They both look at the tunnel to see the damages the bomb has done to the train line and the road. They wonder why the person targeted the train line? Who could be responsible for this? And what is the criminal's next move is.
