Hey all!

I apologize for taking so long to get this next chapter uploaded. It has been a pretty crazy few weeks. I just wanted to thank everyone who has began the story and is continuing to read it. There is a lot more to come and I look forward to sharing it with everyone. I received a question about characters. Almost all of the characters seen in the story are my own with the exception of the girls, the professor, Miss Bellum, The Mayor, Miss Keane, and Mojo. Please make sure to leave reviews to help me improve my stories and make them better!

Chapter 7: Super powers!

"Girls!? Girls are you okay!?" The professor called out to the girls still blinded by the light.

"I feel all warm inside… Kind of like I would after getting a standing ovation!" Blossom cheered.

"I feel all jumpy!" Bubbles exclaimed. She began to look down her arms and looked at the visible parts of her peers "These outfits are so cute!"

"I feel powerful!" Buttercup said.

The light had finally cleared and all three girls were perfectly visible to the two scientists. They each squinted their eyes finally being able to see what was going on. The Professor then looked at the three girls with his mouth agape.

"What is it Professor? You're scaring me! Say something!" Bubbles cried out in fear. The Professor just raised his hand and pointed at Bubbles in response.

Blossom and Buttercup turned their heads to Bubbles and jumped back after finally being able to see her. "Bubbles you're floating!" Blossom yelled in shock.

"What? Really?" Bubbles looked down to see her feet about 6 inches off of the ground. "See! I told you I felt all jumpy, it all makes so much sense!" Bubbles exclaimed.

"That's so cool! I want to try!" Buttercup said as she jumped into the air and begins to float as well. Blossom followed suit, she jumped into the air and instead of floating fell down flat on her face. The other two girls checked to see if she was okay, she rest assured them that she was fine and then jumped back into the air and was finally floating with her friends.

Buttercup looked down at her belt and found a circular pendant the size of the palm of her hand. "Whoa whats this thing?" She asked as she pressed a button found on it. After pressing the button the pendant began to spin and it unfolded revealing a boomerang. "Now this is something I can get behind!" Buttercup chuckled while tossing the boomerang up and down.

"I wonder what I have!" Blossom said as she grabbed a short rod that was hanging from her belt. As she held it up it extended and at the top of the sceptre sat a red orb on top of a gold crown and surrounded by a gold wire. "Cool! I once had a prop like this!" Blossom said while waiving it around.

Following her two friends, Bubbles looked down at her belt and found a blue bubble blower. "Well this is really suiting!" She said before blowing into it. Bubbles ranging from small to large size came out of the bubble blower. They filled up the room and everyone looked in awe until they started to crash into the machines leaving dents and destroying them. Blossom, Buttercup, Keith, and The Professor all called out to Bubbles trying to get her to stop blowing bubbles. All of their attempts failed Buttercup floated over to Bubbles and pulled the bubble blower out of her mouth. "Sorry, I guess I got a little carried away" Bubbles said.

"That's okay Bubbles, let's just move to a different room before we test these things out." The Professor said leading everyone out of the room and into the simulation centre. The Professor loaded them into a target practice training simulation. Buttercup began by throwing her boomerang at the targets and hitting them dead on. Then she began to get fancy by throwing it, spinning around and catching it before launching it again. Blossom very elegantly fired beams of light from the head of her sceptre at targets. Bubbles then stood down range, she fired short bursts of small bubbles at targets as well as shooting a large bubble that enveloped a target.

The Professor then loaded them into another simulation. They were in a weight lifting room and the three girls stood in front of a rack of weights. "It seems as if the energy has given you three the abilities of flight, and your weapons. Buttercup, try lifting this!"

Buttercup looked down at the rack of weights and instead of picking up one weight, she picked up the entire rack with one hand and raised it above her head. "So is this supposed to be tough or what?" Buttercup bragged.

"So weapons, flight, and super strength. This is extraordinary." The Professor said. "It seems we have a lot to discuss." The Professor led the girls out of the room and headed back towards the atrium.

On the way back Blossom turned to Bubbles and said "Do you know what this means?" Bubbles turned her head to the side and looked at Blossom blankly. "Don't you remember what we talked about last night?" Blossom continued.

"Oh! Blossom, I don't think right now is the time to be talking about Cody…" Bubbles trailed off.

"No! About fate? The energy?" Blossom continued. Once again Blossom received a very blank stare in response. Buttercup rolled her eyes at this exchange. "The thing about superheroes?" Blossom asked.

Bubbles looked down and then her eyes shot up, "we have super powers!" Bubbles cried out. Blossom and Bubbles jumped up and down hugging each other celebrating the fact that their farfetched belief became a reality.

Their celebrations were cut short when Buttercup's sharp voice was heard, "Big whoop, we're super heroes but there's nothing we can do with our powers."

It didn't seem to end the celebrations for long as Blossom and Bubbles continued to jump up and down. Suddenly the doorbell rang, "We're superheroes and our lunch just got here! Can this day get any better?" Blossom cheered as she ran down the hallway to collect their lunch.

"Well I shouldn't keep people who could destroy me from eating… so we'll discuss this over lunch!" The Professor said as he pulled out a chair at the table in the atrium. Blossom came running back into the room with two large bags of food. She set them out on the table, unpacked them, and was about to dive in until the large T.V. flashed on with a breaking news bulletin.

"Professor, you're going to want to see this!" Keith called out as he stared at the T.V. hanging from the ceiling. The screen showed the downtown core of New Townsville up in smoke. It focussed in on a city block where there were overturned trash cans, knocked over telephone poles, cracks in the streets, and the citizens of New Townsville running away.

The voice of a news reporter came through on the news cast and announced, "This just in. Downtown New Townsville is threatened by five individuals who are vandalizing store fronts and robbing pedestrians." On the screen it was now possible to see the images of five people through a smoke cloud. "The five individuals range from very short to very tall most identifiable feature their very green complexion." The reporter concluded.

"Green complexion? They have to take better care of their skin!" Bubbles said while looking at the screen.

"Look at those guys go at it!" Buttercup called out.

"Wait, Professor do you see what I see?" Keith asked while analyzing the screen. All three of the girls stared at the screen trying to find what Keith saw, and then turned and looked back at him.

"That aura surrounding them?" The Professor asked in response.

"Yes. They are similar to the one that surrounded the girls when they powered up." Keith bounced back.

"Meticulously looking at data all day has really helped you develop the eyes of a true scientist! I'm so proud!" The Professor cheered before returning back to the screen.

"Wait a minute, that's ace!" Bubbles announced and brought the Professor and Keith back to reality.

"Oh yeah! I hate that guy" Buttercup added.

"You know those guys?" The Professor asked.

Bubbles cheeks flared up and she looked down in embarrassment, "not really… I mean, Ace stole my lunch money once… a week for a month… But those others are his friends!"

"Professor do you think it's possible that they were affected by the same energy that hit the girls?" Keith asked. The Professor explained that there was no conclusive evidence before returning to the screen.

"The police can't even stop them. I can't watch this anymore!" Bubbles cried while covering her eyes.

"If only there was somebody who could do something…" Blossom said with defeat in her voice.

Buttercup noticed her parents on the screen running away from the chaos. "Those are my parents!" She yelled, "I swear, if they hurt my parents I'll destroy them!"

"Try not to worry Buttercup, I'm sure your parents are going to be safe." Bubbles tried to re-assure Buttercup while hiding behind her hands.

" I can't just sit here and watch as these monsters terrorize my family!" Buttercup responded.

"But it's dangerous! Look what they're doing to everything in the city, you can't run in there it's dangerous!" Blossom tried to tell Buttercup.

"I don't care! I fight for the people that fight for me! You two can't stop me!" Buttercup argued. She then ran out the door and could be seen through the front window flying towards the downtown core.

The Professor approached the remaining two girls placed a hand on each of their shoulders. "You two should join her" he suggested. The other two girls tried to argue back saying that they didn't know what they'd be able to do and that they weren't really fighters. "f you let her go alone she's in for some trouble. It's five against one." He argued back.

"The professor is right Bubbles, we can't let her go in there alone! It's okay, our super powers will keep us safe!" Blossom agreed. Bubbles nodded her head to Blossom and the two ran out the door and took off to join their new friend and comrade.

After the girls had left Keith approached the Professor and asked, "Are you just going to let them run out there? You saw what those guys were doing to the city!"

"They're strong Keith, I think they can do it. They have each other's backs." He responded.

"I hope you're right Professor," Keith said as he sat at the table and intently watched the screen as Buttercup was shown to have landed at the scene of the destruction.

The Professor joined Keith at the table, "I hope so too, because we're all out of options…"
