Chapter 4: Learning Beginnings
After Buttercup, Lilac and I had encounter with the armed snake, Serpentine, we sped to the outskirts of Townsville to meet the rest of the Powerpuff Girls and Avalicians. The Avalicians' worst enemy, Lord Brevon may intimidate the protectors of Townsville
/and our celestial allies, but no matter what kind of henchman he's going to throw at us, he will not take us down. I was starting to respect our new alien allies.
Buttercup, Lilac and I met the others at the outskirts of Townsville. They looked a little tired.
"Any news, Team LBJ?" asked Carol.
"We just had a fight with General Serpentine," replied Lilac.
"That snake thing?" said General Gong, "I think we just saw him earlier!"
"You know him?" questioned Blossom.
"I'm afraid so," sighed Lilac.
"He works for the monster that killed my father!" added Spade
"We'll need to head back to the house," suggested Blossom, "we need to come up with a plan to take down Brevon."
"She's right," I added, "We gotta move," and we all headed for the Powerpuff household. It wasn't long before we reached the house and we saw that Professor Utonium was still helping Torque repair his ship.
"Is that person helping the spaceman?" asked Gong to the Powerpuff Girls.
"That's right," replied Blossom.
"That's Professor Utonium," added Bubbles, "the scientist that created us."
"So he's the one who gave you those unusual powers," said Spade, "This is intriguing."
"Jacob was amazed by the Powerpuff Girls when he first saw them on the news back at San Angelo," said Jackson to Avalicians
"Just how did you getyour powers?" asked Lilac.
"Come with us to the backyard," said Blossom, "and we'll tell you." The Avalicians, the Powerpuff Girls, Jackson and I entered the backyard as I took off my suit of armor, and as the sun began to set, Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup told the Avaliciansthe
/story of how they got their powers.
"It all started one day when Professor Utonium was in his lab making a formula to create the perfect little girl," said Blossom.
"He made the formula using the ingredients sugar," added Bubbles.
"Spice," continued Buttercup.
"And everything nice," concluded Blossom.
"Then he accidently hit a vat of a mysterious substance called Chemical X," said Bubbles.
"And the substance ended in the mixture!" said Buttercup as the Avalicians gasped.
"The mixture began to glow," said Bubbles.
"Then there was an explosion," said Blossom.
"Then we appeared!" exclaimed Bubbles.
"At first, Townsville didn't like is because of the collateral damage we caused during a hyperactive game of tag," sighed Blossom.
"But Townsville began to love us after we saved the town from Mojo Jojo's army of maniacal moneys!" said Buttercup.
"That name is still ridiculous," chuckled Carol.
"Strange," said Spade, "I've seen dragons and other supernatural beings, but I have not heard of beings that were made with seasoning."
"Neither have I," said Carol
"Actually, here is something I want to know," I said to the Avalicians, "How did you meet Milla? She looks more primative than Lilac and Carol.
"I wanna know too," added Bubbles, "How did you meet the puppy?"
"Well, it started after Spade stole the Kingdom Stone while working for Mayor Zao of Shang Mu," explained Lilac.
"The cave we were in started to collapse and we had to go different directions when a rock fell between us," continued Carol, "I tried to get out from my side but tons of rocks came down on me and I knocked out cold. The last thing I remember was a someone
/with a shield pulling out of the cave, then blackout."
"I made it out okay, but I was worried sick about Carol," said Lilac, "but I later found her with her ear slightly wounded."
"On the way to Lilac's hideout, I noticed someone following us," said Carol, "I realized that it was the girl that saved me and I tried to pounce on her but she ran scared and shivering. I apologized but still she wouldn't come out of the other
bush."
"I made her come out, promising to protect her," said Lilac.
"I asked Lilac if she was a dragon and if I could touch her hair, which she did," said Milla, "It's like a rope!"
"Hair that's like a rope?" questioned Buttercup.
"I know," said Carol, "I was a little grossed out, too."
"We became friends pretty fast," said Lilac, "We try our best to protect her."
"I can tell," said Jackson.
"I was all alone before I met Lilac and Carol," said Milla.
"Alone?" squeaked Bubbles.
"Before I saw Lila chasing after Mayor Zao's army, I was a lonely basset hound living in the woods making potions and looking for my mommy and daddy," explained Milla sadly.
"Oh my gosh," sobbed Jackson.
"How long have been alone from your parents?" asked Blossom.
"I don't know," said Milla, "but, I think it's been years and years."
Bubbles floated Milla and said, "I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think I just found a friend from outer space and someone to protect."
Milla blushed and said, "I think I just found someone I can friends with on Earth and someone to play with, and that is my friend Bubbles." She and Bubbles began to hug each other.
"I think we just found the perfect intergalactic match-up," I told the Powerpuffs and Avalicians.
"I couldn't agree more," agreed Lilac, "Say, Jacob, about you and Jackson, how do you two stay so close together?"
"Well, let's just say, we do a lot of stuff together," I said.
"We play a lot of games together," added Jackson.
"And we as brothers stick together, no matter what the trouble may be," I said.
"Say Lilac, these two kinda remind me of how were a team," remarked Carol as she elbowed
Lilac.
"Or the partnership between me and Neera," added Gong.
"Or the relation between me and my sisters," concluded Blossom.
"Hey, Torque, have you and the professor finished repairing the ship?" Lilac asked the commander.
"She's all finished, Lilac!" Torque responded.
"The ship is up and running!" added the professor.
"I think I have come up with a plan," said Lilac, "Everyone huddle!" Torque, Jackson, the Avalicians, Powerpuff Girls and I huddled together and Lilac began to tell her plan.
After she told her plan to defeat Lord Brevon, Everyone agreed to the plan, especially me. "I like it!" I cried, "Let's do it."
"That's my girl!" exclaimed Carol.
"This should be interesting," smirked Buttercup.
"Neat-O!" squeaked Bubbles.
"I hope this plan works for us, dragon," said Neera.
"Ready? Break!" everyone called. The plan was finally set in motion.
"We gotta move, now spaceman!" said General Gong to Commander Torque. They climbed onto Torque's ship and they blasted off into the far reaches of space.
"I sure hope this works," sighed Blossom as we watched the ship disappear in the night sky.
"We'd better get some sleep," Lilac suggested, "We got a big day ahead of us." The Professor, Jackson, the Powerpuff Girls, the Avalicians and I went inside the house, except for Spade and Neera.
"Aren't you two coming inside?" I asked as I turned around.
"I will stand guard at the front," replied Neera.
"And I'm gonna help her since General Gong took off with Torque," added Spade.
"Fine then, you two," I said, "I think I can put my trust in you. Remember to keep an eye out for when the ship comes back."
"Understood," said Neera and Spade in unison as they headed for the front door. I walked inside and noticed Lilac and Carol lying on the living room couch and chair.
"You sure you wanna sleep here?" I asked Lilac and Carol.
"We'll be fine here," said Lilac.
"This chair's comfortable anyway," sighed Carol, lying back.
I walked upstairs and entered the Powerpuff Girls room and saw Milla lying next to Bubbles on her side of the Powerpuffs' bed. I noticed Jackson already asleep in a sleeping bag. "Are you comfy, Milla?"
"Yes, I'm am," replied Milla, "Bubbles let me sleep next to her, and the friends' room is so pretty," and I found Bubbles already fast asleep.
"Thanks, Milla," said Blossom with Buttercup in their bed
"Well, I'd better get some sleep," I yawned as I put my pajamas on, "Night, Milla."
"Good night, Jacob," said Milla.
"Night Blossom, you too, Buttercup," I told the remaining awake Powerpuff Girls, as I climbed into the covers next to Buttercup.
"Good night, Jacob," said Blossom and Buttercup, and I fell fast asleep.
