CHAPTER THREE: MISSING
Blossom watched as Julian walked away from her, his steps echoing in the hallway that was now empty. The red-head girl observed his walk; she noticed he seemed pretty in a hurry to get out the school. He quickly disappeared from her sight.
She finished showing him the entire school. Blossom had noticed that he would often lose himself in his thoughts during the tour. It was as if he was always thinking of something, analyzing everything he was seeing and hearing. But most importantly, he had become a little distant after their visit to the library. She wasn't sure what happened there…and she wondered if she had said something to make him so distant.
Blossom raised her eyebrow as she thought of the red-eyed boy, that guy was so mysterious, sharp and...Unpredictable! She could never figure what he would do next! He was definitely a one of a kind.
For example, when they were in the library, she saw Julian's face twist a little, as if he was in pain. Although it only lasted a second, Blossom was sure she had seen it. But then, Julian did something nice: He complimented her. Why would he look in pain and say something nice the second after? It just didn't match!
And there was also the time when she had complimented him. For a second there, she knew that he was surprised, but happy to hear that he had amazing eyes. He had some...shine in his eyes and he just kept on staring at her as if she'd said the most unexpected thing in the world! But then, instead of being friendlier to her, he avoided her gaze for the rest of the tour. It was as if giving him a compliment had insulted him or something…
What was wrong with this guy? Weren't people supposed to love compliments?
Blossom sighed. Yup, that guy was definitely a mystery, a very complicated puzzle. But she couldn't help but feel kind of...drawn to that kind of attitude. She was intrigued by him. There was just something in him and his attitude that kept her thinking and wondering about him. He was different from all of the guys she's met in her life. Julian was the only boy that she couldn't figure out, couldn't analyze…That intrigued her, how could he be so sharp?
And for some reason, she wanted to know more...
"Yo sis, wassup?" Buttercup's voice snapped her away from her thoughts
Blossom got back to reality. Bubbles and Buttercup were standing next to her, leaning on her locker. Blossom flashed a smile at them.
"Nothing much, I just finished showing Julian around. You?" She replied.
"Same." Both her sisters replied in unison.
Blossom grinned. She was eager to find out what happened between her sisters and the two other very attractive boys.
"So...How did it go?" She asked.
Bubbles was the first to answer.
"Ohmigosh, Ohmigosh, OH MY GOSH!" Bubbles started, obviously very excited. "Mike is such an awesome guy! We visited the whole school and we joked and we laughed and we had fun and...It was awesome!"
Bubbles wasn't lying. She really spent a great time with Mike, showing him around was fun! He was a bit timid at first, But she noticed that the more they spent time together, the more Mike would break away from his shyness and open up to her! He had even revealed one of his biggest secrets to her!
For some reason, Bubbles really liked spending time with Mike. She felt happy when she was with him. She liked the way he could be shy, but sweet at the same time. He was different from the others guys somehow, he didn't try to impress others and he didn't flaunt his masculinity like other guys. He looked like a bad boy (he had the attitude and all)...But he was really a nice boy underneath...And that's what she liked the most about him. He could be strong, but have his shy, sensible side…
Plus...he could draw like a god!
Blossom chuckled at the blonde's excitement, and then she turned to Buttercup.
"How about you BC?" The red-head asked. "How did it go?"
"It was cool, we chilled together and stuff." The tomboy simply answered.
Buttercup, unlike her sisters, was lying. She hated that guy.
The way he could push her buttons and accept her challenges with that -annoying- confidence... No other guy had DARED to mess with Buttercup Utonium! But deep inside of her, Buttercup had to admit that…it was awesome. Shawn was just…awesome. He was the only guy that could match up to her, he was a big challenge to her…and Buttercup loved challenges!
However, she DID hate the way he could annoy her that easily. She also hated his cockiness and arrogant attitude. Oh well, maybe she could shut him out by kicking his ass one more time in sports!
"I'm happy to hear that girls." Blossom said. "But for now, we have some more serious business to take care of."
Her sisters frowned. Spending time with the new boys had distracted them from their crime-fighting duties…
"You mean the Rowdyruff Boys?" Buttercup asked.
Their leader nodded.
"Yup. As we all know, those boys have some pretty powerful skills. I thought about this and concluded that we HAVE to increase the power of our special skills." Blossom explained.
"How are we supposed to do that?" Bubbles asked.
"Well, the most effective way to increase our power would be to train more. After all, practice makes perfect!" Blossom finished her explication.
Buttercup nodded and smiled, Bubbles whined.
"Aww come on Blossom! We already train once per week!" Bubbles whined.
The blond girl hated to train. She wasn't too fond of physical activities…except for cheerleading and dance.
Buttercup, however, loved to train! Actually…she liked everything that involved kicking some ass…
Blossom sighed. "I know Bubbles, but we'll have to train twice a week now. I really want us to become stronger. Besides, don't you want us to beat those stupid boys?"
It was Bubbles' turn to sigh. "Of course I do…Fine, I'll do it."
Blossom smiled at her, Buttercup punched her fists into her palm.
"Come on Bubbles! Training isn't that bad! Besides, you'll be happy you did it when we whoop those Rowdyruff butts!" Her black-haired sister exclaimed.
Bubbles giggled at her words.
"Ok girls, training twice a week?" Blossom confirmed.
"Agreed." Her two sisters said together as they nodded.
Blossom smiled. "Great! Let's go now!"
*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•
"Okay girls, this training room is equipped with state of the art stimulators. Today, it will stimulate a surprise situation. Be prepared for anything!" Sarah, the woman in charge of the training room, said through the microphone that would deliver her voice into the training room.
She was in the programming room that was located next to the stimulating training room. Thanks to the big glass window, she could see everything that was going on in the training room.
Blossom nodded. "We're ready!"
Sarah nodded back at her and pressed the "start" button on the machine.
Suddenly, everything around The Powerpuff Girls changed. The walls, that were plain white, became black with green fluorescent lines for a second. Then, the setting was completely transformed. They were now in the middle of Townsville at night!
wow!...The girls thought, in awe.
But then, a high-pitched scream tore her away from their thoughts. The girls began to run in the stimulated streets of Townsville, following the sound of the scream. When they located the source of the cry, they frowned.
An old lady was getting robbed by a gang just a few feet away from her. They were pointing a gun at the poor woman.
"Give us your purse woman, or else…" The leader of the gang threatened. He pushed the gun closer to her head…
Blossom clenched her fists and formed some flames in her hands. She aimed at the guns and shot. The guy who was holding the weapon dropped it instantly as he saw his gun catch on fire. The gun was soon completely burned.
The man gritted his teeth. He glanced over his shoulder to see who had sabotaged his robbery. When he saw the three girls and Blossom's hand (that was still full of flames), he frowned.
"Get them!" He ordered the member of his gang.
Five of them began to dash towards the girls. But before they could reach the three sisters, Blossom waved her palm in front of her and surrounded them with a wall of fire, trapping them.
"Bubbles!" Blossom signalled to her blond sister.
Bubbles nodded and formed some winds with her fingers. When the winds were powerful enough, she directed them towards the gang members. The crooks were lifted into the air. They tried to fight back, but the winds were too strong. They were stuck in the air, floating above the ground helplessly.
"BC, you're turn!" Blossom gave the signal to the ice-thrower.
Finally, Buttercup smirked and threw some ice at them, freezing them into place and making them incapable of moving. They fell brutally on the ground, all stuck in an enormous block of ice.
Blossom grinned, satisfied of their excellent teamwork.
"Good job girls!"
The girls were about to put handcuffs on them when suddenly, Townsville disappeared slowly disappeared. The walls became black with fluorescent lines again, and then they returned to their normal appearance.
"Nice job!" They heard Sarah said.
The girls smiled at her.
"Give us something more difficult!" Buttercup demanded. "We want some challenge!"
"Okay!" Sarah answered.
With that, she turned up the level meter. The easiest level was "1" and the hardest was "11". The level meter was currently at 4, so she raised it to 8.
"This might be a little harder, girls…" Sarah warned the three sisters. "You'll have to use your powers way more."
When the girls nodded, she pressed the "start" button.
Once again, the setting was transformed. The girls were now in the middle of a desert. At their surprise, nobody was here. The place was full of cactuses, other small plants and sand. It was also incredibly hot out there; sweat drops were already falling on the girls' foreheads.
"What are we supposed to do?" Bubbles asked.
Buttercup groaned. "Ugh! I asked for something more difficult! Not to be thrown into a scorching hot desert!"
Blossom narrowed her eyes.
"Don't let your guards down girls, there must be something…perhaps a trap?" The red-head commanded.
Suddenly, Sarah's voice erupted. "Blossom's right. Keep your eyes open for anything."
The girls nodded and scanned the place.
Nope, absolutely nothing.
"Uh Sarah? Do you think the stimulator might be brok-AHHHH!" Bubbles screamed at the middle of her sentence.
Buttercup and Bubbles turned to see why their sister had screamed.
Their eyes widened as they tried to hold back a scream of their own.
"Holly fucking shit…" Buttercup mumbled, her eyes still widened.
Three creatures were standing a few yards away from them. The girls weren't so sure what those things were, they looked like some sort of…monsters.
Twenty feet tall monsters.
The three monsters each had about seven eyes, three arms, three legs and a pair of wings. They looked like some king of gigantic mutation of a fly. One was red, the other was blue and the last one was green.
And it scared the shit out of the Powerpuff Girls, even though they knew monsters didn't really exist…those ones seems pretty real. Sarah had told them to be prepared for anything…but this was the last thing they would've thought of!
Damn, the person who created that stimulator has some wild imagination… Blossom thought.
Without wasting any more time, Blossom analyzed the three monsters that were now flying to reach them. Their wings were making a loud buzzing noise. She realized that it would be hard to defeat those creatures if they kept flying like that…
Suddenly, the leader had an idea…
"Girls! We have to destroy their wings! That way they won't be able to fly anymore!" She exclaimed.
Her sisters nodded.
"Bubbles! Trap them!" Blossom ordered.
The blonde Powerpuff formed some powerful winds once again. She then aimed them towards the three flying monsters. Unfortunately, her winds weren't strong enough and the creatures escaped from them after a few seconds.
"I can't! They're too strong!" Bubbles exclaimed.
"Try again Bubbles! Give it your best shot!" Buttercup encouraged her as the monsters were approaching.
Bubbles frowned in determination. She lifted her arms into the air and began to wave them in a strong, circular movement. Some super powerful winds were now forming, lifting up the sand from the ground and uprooting the plants in the desert.
"ugh…"Bubbles mumbled as she focused all of her energy on her winds.
Blossom and Buttercup stared at the power of their sister. Their eyes were wide open; they had never seen Bubbles so powerful before…
When she was sure that her winds were powerful enough, the blond girl aimed at the three creatures. This time, they were trapped. The monsters tried to escape again, but the winds were too powerful for them. They couldn't move.
"Good job Bubbles!" Blossom congratulated rapidly. "Buttercup! Now destroy their wings!"
The green-eyed girl smirked. She quickly formed some ice and aimed it on the monsters' wings. The wings were quickly covered in ice…
But to her surprise, the ice quickly broke, leaving the wings intact. The layer of ice was too thin!
Buttercup frowned. She clenched her fists and her hands became very cold. She began to form some ice again. This time, she concentrated…and her whole arm was full of ice, making her sisters watch in awe.
"TAKE THAT!" Buttercup screamed as she shot her ice at the creatures' wings again.
A very thick layer of ice covered the wings this time. Buttercup shot some ice blocks towards them and the wings broke into thousands of pieces. The monsters cried loudly in pain.
"AMAZING BC!" Blossom screamed over the cries of the monsters. "GIRLS! TAKE ONE OF THE MONSTERS AND FINISH IT!"
Her sisters nodded and dashed towards one of the monsters. Bubbles took the blue one, Buttercup the green one and Blossom took one the red one.
The red-head figured that she would have to force herself like her sisters did. So, she brought her hands together and concentrated. A huge ball of fire was formed into her palm. Then, the fireball grew to be so big that she had to use her whole arms to contain it. Blossom aimed at the head of the red monster and shot.
As soon as the fireball hit its head, the monster fell on his back, his head completely burned into ashes. Blossom twisted her face in disgust, the sight wasn't lovely…but at least she had defeated that…thing!
The leader glanced at her sisters. Bubbles had lifted up the blue monster up in the air. When the creature was at a very high altitude, she snapped her fingers and stopped her winds. The monster then fell on the ground, the crash killing him instantly. Buttercup had completely frozen the monster and exploded it into millions of small ice blocks.
"Once again…Good job girls!" Blossom exclaimed as she high fived her sisters.
The desert disappeared and the setting went back to the room's plain white walls again.
"Okay girls, that's enough training for today. You did a great job!" Sarah said though the microphone.
"Thanks Sarah!" The girls thanked in unison.
Then, they got out of the training room, sweat still running down their foreheads. Even though most of their energy had been drained, they felt proud to have completed the training.
*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•
Bubbles wrapped her wet blond hair in a towel "So, what are you going to do now?" She asked her sisters.
The blue Powerpuff had just stepped out of the shower. Her sister and she were in the girls changing room of SYPO. Blossom and Buttercup were also wrapped in towels.
"I don't know. I was thinking maybe I could challenge Marco into a fight. I haven't seen him in a while." Buttercup answered as she shrugged.
Blossom nodded. "And I was going to see if Mikayla was here. I haven't talked to her much lately."
"Cool! I was about to ask Hailey about what she thinks of my new outfit!" Bubbles added.
Marco, Mikayla and Hailey were friends of the girls and fellow agents. Since SYPO was like a second family to them, they had made numerous friends. The sisters often hung out with them after training.
Suddenly, somebody interrupted their conversation.
"Um…I don't think that will be possible girls." That person said in a timid tone.
The girls turned around to see who had spoken. It was a girl. She was about thirteen years old , she had long chestnut hair and turquoise eyes.
"Hey Jenny!" Bubbles greeted her. "What do you mean?"
Jenny was another agent in SYPO. She was rather shy and she spent a lot of time in training since she was still new.
"Well…Marco hasn't shown up since a few weeks ago, I haven't seen Hailey around neither. As for Mikayla…She missed practice yesterday." Jenny answered.
The girls frowned. They were intrigued, especially Blossom. Yesterday was Tuesday and Mikayla always trained on Tuesdays. She never missed one practice!
"That's odd…"Blossom said, scratching her chin as she thought.
Buttercup and Bubbles shrugged.
"Maybe they're just sick?" Buttercup suggested.
"The three of them? At the same time?" Blossom pointed out, still not convinced.
Her sisters bit their lip.
"You've got a point…" Bubbles said.
"Maybe something happened to them during a mission?" Buttercup suggested.
"Well, let's just hope it isn't something bad!" Bubbles exclaimed.
Blossom frowned. She had a feeling that it was bad.
There was something very suspicious about this whole situation…
*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•
"It seems that the girls went in for an extra training session today." A familiar female voice erupted in Blake's office.
The 44 years old man smiled.
"That's right. The training was also very intensive. I'm proud of them!" He replied.
The woman frowned.
"But what do you think made them want to train so badly?" She asked. "They usually train only once a week on Thursdays…and it's Wednesday!"
Blake raised his eyebrow.
"I'm thinking it's the Rowdyruff Boys. The girls have a strong motivation to beat them…" He answered.
Then, the boss sighed happily and placed his hands behind his head in a relaxed position.
"Well, I'm not complaining! It's only going to make their powers stronger and more developed!" He added.
His female ally crossed her arms on her chest and started to walk away from his office.
"Anyway, see you later Blake." She said.
"Goodbye." He replied.
The woman shut the door behind her, making Blake smile of contentment. Just as he thought he was going to be able to enjoy his peace, he heard a knock on his door. He groaned.
"Come in." He instructed.
The employee did as he said. It was a man. He wore a lab coat and had some folder in his arms.
"What is it?" Blake asked as he stared at the scientist.
"I'm afraid we have some bad news for you Mister Barker." The employee started. "We could not proceed to your request."
Blake frowned.
"And why not?" He asked.
The employee seemed to be a little intimidated by his boss' frown. "Well…we are going to need a blood sample to know if their powers are fully developed. It's impossible otherwise."
Blake sighed. Great, more work.
"Fine, I'll take care of it. You can go." He finally said.
The scientist gladly shut the door behind him as he left, leaving Blake to his thoughts.
How in the world am I supposed to get a blood sample? The dark-haired man wondered.
He ran his fingers through his hair, trying to think of a way…
Then, an idea popped into his head, making the man grin.
But of course! That's brilliant! He thought.
He would not only get the blood sample, but he would also cover up other things that might make the girls suspicious...
It was perfect!
Okay, it was a bit shorter than usual...but I hope you liked it anyway :P
