Chapter 6: The Surprise from Professor Utonium
The weekend has come for me to visit the home of the Powerpuff Girls. After I got ready for the visit, I tried to wake up Jackson. "Jackson," I said softly in my brother's ear, but nothing happened. "Oh, well," I sighed. I thought for a moment on what movie the girls want to watch, then I remembered that Bubbles likes animals, so I picked out "The Jungle Book" for us to watch. I put the DVD in a bag, walked out of the house, then walked to the house next door, the home of the Powerpuff Girls.
I came up to the front door and knocked it three times. I waited for about six seconds, then a man dressed in a lab coat answered the door.
"Hello, sir," I said as I firmly shook the man's hand, "You must be Mr. Utonium. My name is Jacob Coad and I am here to visit with your kids."
"Ah, so you're Jacob," the professor said, "The girls told me all about you." As soon as my name was said by Mr. Utonium, the girls came flying to me.
"Jacob!" the girls exclaimed as they landed in my arms.
"Hey, Speed-O's!" I replied.
"Nice of you to drop by," said Bubbles.
"Jacob's a really nice guy," Blossom said to Mr. Utonium.
"Hey, did you bring any movies?" asked Buttercup.
"Show me the TV, and I will show you," I told her.
"Wait, girls," The professor interrupted, "what about that surprise that you and I planned for your new friend?"
"Oh, yeah!" I exclaimed, "I almost forgot about that. Why don't you show me first, then I pop that movie in." I let go of the girls then they flew through a nearby door.
"Come with me," the professor said to me. I followed him with anticipation. As I walked through the door, I found that behind it was a whole laboratory! I was so intrigued by the whole room. I even saw the shattered glass container that was once filled with Chemical X. Finally The professor showed his palm in front of me, gesturing me to halt, so I did.
"Mr. Coad," the professor said, "Blossom had told me that you have accepted her offer to join the girls in battle. So we have made something for you that would help the girls in battle." The three girls came in with something that was covered by a sheet. I was already ecstatic. The girls place the object on a stand. The professor placed his hand on the sheet.
"Behold, Jacob!" The professor announced as he pulled the sheet.
"Ta-da!" the girls sang. The object was what looked like a simple red plate of chest armor with a light in the center. At first, I was confused.
"A plate of chest armor?" I questioned, "How is that supposed to help me assist the girls?"
Mr. Utonium said, "It's not just chest armor, Mr. Coad." The professor handed me the armor. "Place it on your chest," he instructed to me, so I did, then I heard a Beep! The light in the center began to light up!
"Whoa!" I exclaimed. The single plate of chest armor then began to expand and form into a full set of red and blue armor around my body! The armor, then formed a helmet around my head like a spaceman. "Wow!" I exclaimed, "This is so cool!"
"Ooh," Bubbles said as she knocked on my armor, "Jacob looks so snazzy in this suit."
"This suit is controlled by your brain through a neural link," the professor said, "It feature forearm cannons, rocket boots and it increases your strength and speed."
"Well, no wonder my head feels funky," I added.
"If you need to get out of this suit, you can do it with a push of a button," the professor continued as he pointed to the button on my forearm.
"What button? There are a million buttons," I said humorously as the girls chuckled. There was only one button on the armor, but I said it just to be funny.
"Come with us," Blossom said as she and the rest of the girls started to fly outside the house, "It's time we test out your new suit."
"Alright," I said with a grin on my face. I had a hard time trying to walk at first because of the suit, but I got the hang of it almost immediately. The girls were waiting for me outside. I looked at the hands of my suit and asked, "What should I do first with this baby?"
Bubbles held up a red target on a poster board as the professor said "First, we should test out your forearm cannons." One cannon appeared on each of the forearms on the suit. I aimed both cannons at the target and it the target dead-center.
"Bulls-eye!" I shouted, "I'm already beginning to like this suit. Now I think it's time to test out those rocket boots."
"Right you are, Jacob," Buttercup said as she flew and landed next to me. We walked to the middle of the street as if it was a runway at an airport. A pair of wings spread out from the back of my suit and a pair of rockets appeared between the wings.
"Wings and rockets?" I questioned as I held my arms behind me, "This day just gets better and better." Buttercup and I ran straight ahead without stopping and when we both got to maximum speed, we leaped from the ground. "This is awesome!" I yelled as Buttercup and I performed figure-eights, loop-de-loops and across the sky! I was having the time of my life up in the sky. After I thought I had my fun after about ten minutes, I told Buttercup, "Time to stick a landing!" Buttercup and I flew in front of the of the Utonium household where we both made a safe landing on the sidewalk.
"Aaaaaand, he sticks it!" I announced as Blossom and Bubbles gazed in awe.
Blossom said as she came up floating to me, "Not bad for your first flight."
I blushed and replied while giving Blossom a rub on her head, "Thanks, Blossom. That really means a lot."
