The City of Townsville! And such a great town to live in. Of course it didn't use to be like this. Our city use to be filled with crooks lurking behind every corner. But two months ago, the key to the world arrived in Townsville, and as expected, every shady character attempted at getting their hands on it. But now they have all given up, relying so much on acquiring the key to the world that their hopes of ruling the world were crushed. And now things are back to normal.
"Yeah, I wish." Said Talking Dog.
But who kept this town safe? A town that not long ago was so crime filled that even Narrators weren't safe. Not talking about myself by the way. The saviors of this great city are three little sugars, spices, and everything nices admired by all... the one and only- Powertough Girls? Wait a minute, what's going on here?
The town was gathered at the Townsville Park, where a concert was being held. A large poster red "THE POWERTOUGH GIRLS, LIVE IN CONCERT." The stage blacked out. And fog rolled in. Three silhouettes rolled in. The stage brightened up and the crowd went wild as on stage were Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup. Blossom rocked it out on the guitar, followed by Buttercup. Bubbles led the vocals
Out of the Shadows
I find you
I try to protect love
But it becomes true
I will serve you
I will help you
I will always care for you.
As the concert ended, the girls walked towards their Limousine. Fans crowded to take pictures and get autographs. "Oh yeah!" Shouted the Mayor. "You girls are the best at everything. Will you sign my pickle Porsche? But of course you're too busy, well have fun girls." They got inside the vehicle and it drove off.
"Well girls..." Said Blossom. "Another successful concert once again. I think we outdid ourselves this time." Bubbles giggled. "What a blast. My vocal chords didn't break like last time."
"You know, I have plans for the next concert once we do our tour for the first time." Said Blossom.
"Yay!" Said Bubbles. "I've always wanted to do a tour. We couldn't leave Townsville for a long time."
They noticed Buttercup looking out the window, looking glum. "You don't seem happy about this, Buttercup." Said Blossom. "Can we ask why?"
Buttercup broke out of her state. "It's nothing." She said. "You're right, this is a special night. A night for us. Come on, we've got a bottle to open somewhere." Her sisters just stared at her. She sighed. "Fine. I don't think we're doing the right thing."
"Wasn't becoming the Powertough Girls a unanimous vote?" Asked Blossom. "It was." Answered Buttercup. "But this new life is boring. I miss the good old days. When people actually cared about us."
"You mean like fighting crime?" Asked Bubbles. "Exactly. Beating up the Gangrene Gang, Fuzzy Limpkins, Him, and especially Mojo Jojo. But now that they've left Townsville, giving up their criminal lives in the process, things just aren't the same anymore."
"She's right." Said Bubbles. "I've noticed that there hasn't been a single bank robbery for two months. The key to the world brought so many hopes up, and now that we stopped them, they just don't seem to care anymore. Even the puppies aren't evil! Which is a good thing."
"I just miss being a Powerpuff Girl."
Blossom was silent for a second. "Girls. Saving Townsville was something the city needed. That's why we came superheroes in the first place. But now that Townsville no longer has crime, the title Powerpuff Girls belongs in the past. We must be what Townsville needs us to be. From now on, we are the Powertough Girls."
The Limousine pulled up to their home. They got out and headed inside. They saw the Professor jumping up and down. "Girls! Girls! I'm so glad you made another totally awesome concert! I even bought the new album."
"Uh Professor?" Said Blossom. "We already have one."
"Not this one. This one is a limited two disc platinum edition album. First copies sold out last week."
"Professor. It's no big deal." Said Buttercup.
"Really? When your three little girls are beloved by all of Townsville, how is it no big deal? Come on, be proud of the things you've done."
"I think we'll just get to bed." Said Bubbles. "Oh, of course. My three little superstars need their rest. Alright girls, let's get ready for bed."
The Girls got themselves ready for bed. As the Professor turned off the lights but left the hall light on for Bubbles, sleep overcame them.
The Next Day At the Townsville Museum...
"Now remember class..." Said Miss Keane. "We are going to be viewing a very special Exhibit today."
"Is it the Dinosaur dung?" Asked Mitch. "Uh no." Said Miss Keane. "It 's a very special artifact that's been around since the middle ages. You'll understand better when we see it. Now remember, stay together."
They entered the Museum. They approached an Exhibit, surrounded by people. "Ladies and gentleman, I present you the tenth anniversary of our most precious Exhibit, Ashes!" The curtain opened and behind was a flame in a bottle. "Is this a ripoff?" Asked Buttercup. "What's so special about a flame in a bottle?"
"I wanted to touch dino dung." Said Mitch.
"Now this has been in the Museum for ten years, but it has been like this for centuries. Nobody knows how the flame got in the bottle, but it has never gone out."
From Space, the X Vale fortress spotted Earth from a distance. A soldier headed straight for General Morke. After telling him, the General headed for the bridge. He bowed before Mintyyyx.
"We have found the substance on the planet ahead. But I think you should take a look for yourself." Mintyyyx nodded. "Pull it up on screen." He saw on screen the girls.
"So... the Chemical X has been infused with three life forms. After all this time, we finally found it."
"Sir, have we failed?" Mintyyyx grinned through his mouth mask. "No. We have not. In fact, we have already won. We will rebuild our world on this planet. Now that the Chemical X has infused with these girls, though, they must be destroyed."
"Orders, sir?"
"We will not do a thing yet. The leader of these girls will be the one to destroy them. All you will do... is bring back Ashes."
