Blossom woke up, tied with her sisters. They were dangling over a volcano, with a timer. When it went off, they would fall inside. "Girls. You were right. You've always been right. This villain within me was beginning to control me. All it made me do was use the new powers. Our sisterhood is defeated. But I can't let it control me anymore. I'm going to save us. I'll think of something. I promise."

Mintyyyx entered the town hall. "You must be the leader of this town." The Mayor began to shake. "Pickle, sir?" He threw him out the window. Mintyyyx sat down in the chair. "Now... let's get to business. Shall we?"

In the prisoner cells, which was in every building in Townsville, the Professor tried helping those who were mistreated by the X Vale, like giving people blankets. Mintyyyx appeared on speakers. "Citizens of Townsville. I am Mintyyyx of the X Vale. The substance known as Chemical X has been found on every planet in the universe, including yours. The one from our planet was used in the creation of three lifeforms, they're names were Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup. We understand they were once your heroes, but are now your enemies. But fear not. They are now dead."

"No, girls. No..."

"The Chemical X I spoke of earlier has the power to resurrect an ancient beast called X. This creature has the power to reshape planets. Once we bring X to life, we will once again bring our world back. As for you... well, there won't be a you."

"Please don't let me lose them..." Said the Professor to himself. "Don't let them be gone. My Bubbles, my Buttercup... and my Blossom."

The girls were only seconds away from being melted. "What can I do? I doubt my powers can help. Or... can they?" Blossom used her flaming laser eyes to melt the bonds. She grabbed her sisters and flew off.

They opened their eyes. "Blossom? Is that you?" Asked Bubbles. Blossom hugged her sisters tightly. "I was beginning to worry. I thought you were dead."

"Dead?" Asked Buttercup.

"Girls?" Blossom started. "I've always known that we are nothing without each other. We must be what Townsville needs us to be. And they need us right now. We need to be their heroes."

Buttercup looked down. "But, Blossom... you were right. We are not heroes anymore." Blossom raised an eyebrow. "Not heroes? Who says so? The world doesn't decide who we are. We do. I use to think that we became heroes because that's what the city wanted. But the truth is, we still chose to save them. Because they need our help. Because they can't fight for themselves. Because... it is the right thing to do. I say it's time... for the Powerpuff Girls to return. What about you?"

She put her arm forward. Bubbles smiled and joined her. "This is something I've always wanted to be. A true hero." Buttercup was a little hesitant. "What... what if I can't do it?"

"Now Buttercup, if you don't join the Powerpuff Girls... who's butt are you gonna kick? Nobody's?"

"Nobo- Did you say... nothing keeps me from kicking butt." She joined the other girls' arms. Blossom grinned. "Come on girls. Let's get these aliens off our planet." They took off for Townsville.

Mintyyyx looked through a file he had on Burong. About the beast X. "The beast dwells in rocks of moons in space... use the Chemical X, and the beast will rise." He found a picture of the beast. An officer entered the room. "Forgive me sir. But you should see this." The Powerpuff Girls stood on the outskirts of the city. A video screen turned on. Mintyyyx saw them. "You die hard, don't you? This should make a fun game."

"This is no game!" Shouted Blossom. "This is the end of your reign of terror on different worlds. We will end you. Because we are the Powerpuff Girls!"

"And you're nothing but a big bully!" Shouted Bubbles.

"And get off our planet!" Shouted Buttercup.

"As I recall, The Powerpuff Girls ended two months ago. If you really are the Powerpuff Girls, then prove it." The video ended. "And so we shall." The motorcycle-like machines lined up. The girls flew towards them. The army opened fire. The girls dodged the attacks. They attacked the army. They punched through soldiers. More soldiers arrived, opening fire on them, but the Powerpuff Girls defeated them. General Morke was on the ship. He signaled the troops. "Bring in the big boys."

Giant muscular Vale aliens came crashing down to Townsville. The girls faced them. "Buttercup, get the ship above. Bubbles, you can handle these guys. And I'll find Ashes." The big boys charged at Bubbles. "You wanna play a game?" The big boys froze in confusion. "It goes like this." She punched their faces. They got back up. They swung their fists at her, but she dodged them. She punched them. One hit her. They grabbed her and started slamming their fists down on her. She used her sonic boom to disorient them. She continued fighting them. They fought back, but she defeated them.

Buttercup headed to the ship above and destroyed it by flying through it numerous times. It exploded. She fell towards the earth. General Morke saw her and slammed his fist in his face. She hit the ground. The liquid in his body flowed through the tubes and strengthened his muscles. He grabbed her and lifted her up. "The X Vale have been training for years to fight. You don't stand a chance, Princess." He punched her in the face. Her eyes shot open. "Princess?" She began to punch him. "Don't. Call me. Princess!" They began to trade blows at each other. Eventually, Buttercup had the advantage. She knocked out Morke with one punch.

Blossom looked everywhere for Ashes. She found him, behind her. She threw a punch, but he caught it and overpowered her. "Foolish little girl." He summoned his fire whip, but Blossom hit him with her laser eyes. They threw punches at each other, but when Ashes hit Blossom, he sent her flying. She came back, punching him. They landed in an ally way. They both got up. Ashes swung a punch at Blossom, but she caught it. Ashes was surprised. She punched his stomach. Ashes cried out in pain. He began to transform into his normal form. "Let's finish this, Ashes."

"Children first." Said Ashes. They charged head on. Blossom punched his chin. Ashes got back up and fired a flamethrower at her. She dodged but faced a series of punches, kicks, and beatings. She fell to the floor. The claws on his feet held her in place. Blossom then had an idea. Before Ashes could attack her, she set him on fire with her own powers, distracting him long enough to get off her. Then she used her ice breath to freeze him. Then she set the ice block on fire, melting Ashes and the ice. Blossom curled up.

"Please. Tell me what's going on. Tell me about our creation. All of it."

She saw a vision of the discovery of Chemical X on all worlds known. And about a beast made of mist, called X. "According to legend, X can reshape a world into the user's liking."

She saw Mintyyyx arguing with Vale leaders. "We must use X to make our world a better place."

"We will not." Said the leader of that world. "X makes worlds by destroying all but the one who summons it. It is too dangerous."

She saw him drinking Chemical X, becoming more powerful. She saw him creating the organization X Vale, leading an all out war on different worlds, including their own. She saw a Chemical X fall for Earth. Centuries later, she sees the Professor in college. He is distracted and runs into a girl. "Oh my. I'm terribly sorry, ma'me."

"Oh no it was my fault. They look at each other and smile. The girl looks like Blossom. "Forgive me. I'm Utonium. What about you?"

"I'm Bethany."

She sees them getting married a year later. They bought a house together. The house the girls now live in.

"This is lovely, Utonium. You can practice all your work down in the basement. This is so cool. Oh, by the way. I have something for you." She brought out a bottle of Chemical X. "This has been in my family since the middle ages. Nobody knows where it came from. Here, it's yours." The Professor smiled. "Thank you, Bethany."

"Have you thought about having children?"

"Oh, uh... no. I mean, not really. I mean we just got married last week."

"I know. But no harm in planning ahead of time." She noticed the Professor's mood. "What's wrong?"

"It's just... I remember I wanted to create a perfect little girl remedy once. But I've outgrown that dream."

"I think it would be awesome. I would love to have children made from stuff. Just remember, we girls are made of sugar, spice, and everything nice."

"Oh I know. It will be the best gift ever." She placed her hand on his heart. "Family. This is the best gift ever." The two hugged. She saw Bethany's funeral not long after. She was in a car crash. Professor Utonium stood over her grave. "Bethany... I know how much you want me to pursue my dreams. I'll do it. I'll create the perfect little girl."

She saw the Professor creating the perfect little girl with sugar, spice, and everything nice. She saw him accidentally add Bethany's Chemical X to the concoction.

He saw the three girls smiling at him.

"Hi." Said Blossom. He panicked. "What's your name?"

"Oh. My name? Is uh... Professor. Professor Utonium. Because of your directness and opening right up to me, I think I'll call you... Blossom."

Bubbles giggled. "Well, aren't you all cute and bubbly. That's it. You'll be my little Bubbles. And Buttercup."

"This is the best gift ever, dad." Said Bubbles, kissing his cheek. Professor Utonium remembered those were Bethany's words. He smiled as they reminded him of her. "Yes. It is."

Then the vision ended. Blossom was speechless. Everything made sense now.

She headed outside. She joined her sisters. "Is everyone defeated?" She asked. "Not quite." Said Buttercup. Mintyyyx was up on the highest building in the city. "It's over, girls! I have already won. The beast lives in one of the rocks found on our moon. Once I spray Chemical X on it, X will reshape your world."

"Oh no you don't!" Shouted Blossom. She charged at Mintyyyx. But it was too late. A large explosion of mist covered the streets of Townsville and the sky. Mintyyyx floated up in the air, raising his arms. "A planet ruled by only me! And I have the ultimate power!" The girls watched from a distance. "No..." Said Buttercup. "We failed. But we can't fail."

"We're too late." Said Bubbles.

"No. It's not. We can still win." Said Blossom.

"Do you not see what we see? Mintyyyx is already ruling the world. We'll never win if the world is already in darkness."

"Buttercup's right." Said Bubbles. "They're have Chemical X, too. What can we do?"

"We can do what we've always done. We are The Powerpuff Girls. And as long as we fight for good, we will never lose. If we do die, then it will be for a purpose. What do you say?"

The others thought for a moment. Then smiled. "Let's save our world." They charged at Mintyyyx. They faced him. "You really should have stopped us before." Said Blossom. "Now you're just setting yourself up for failure."

"I will not make that mistake again." The girls charged, shouting. Mintyyyx punched all three aside. He charged at all three individually and sent them flying. Buttercup created a whirlwind that sucked him up. He destroyed the whirlwind with his laser eyes. Bubbles charged at him and threw punches at him, but he blocked them with the palm of his hand. He grabbed her arm, overpowered her, and threw her. The girls regrouped. They started swirling together around him, but he broke free, slamming his fists at the girls.

"This isn't working." Said Buttercup. "He's kicking our butts. What do we do?"

"Suck it up. Go!" Bubbles screamed at Mintyyx, but he dodged the attack, and grabbed her, throwing her into Buttercup's whirlwind. Blossom ended up charging right into it. The three fell onto a roof. "Well, that failed." Said Buttercup.

Just then, X showed it's physical head. It resembled a worm monster. It roared at the girls. "Bubbles, Buttercup. If the summoner is destroyed, X will disappear. And don't enter the body, or it will dissolve you. I'll get Mintyyyx to enter the body."

"But Blossom, we don't kill." Said Bubbles.

"You won't. I will."

"What are you..." She charged off towards Mintyyyx. "Are you crazy!" Shouted Buttercup. "Come on, Buttercup." They charged for X. Blossom confronted Mintyyyx. "You won't win and you know it."

"You are very determined to win. But so am I." He fired his laser eyes at Blossom. She fired back. Suddenly, Mintyyyx grabbed her by the throat. She started choking. X swung its tentacles at Buttercup and Bubbles. They punched them, dissolving every time. Buttercup punched the head, but it reformed. It swatted her aside. "Buttercup!" She charged at the head, destroying every tentacle with her laser eyes. She kept punching the head. It grabbed her with it's mouth and headed for the body. Bubbles broke free. The head reformed.

Blossom was thrown into a building. Civilians gasped. "You okay, Blossom?" Asked Miss Keane. "I'm fine."

"Go get 'em!" They all shouted. She charged out. Mintyyyx grabbed her and swung her on a roof. He pinned her down. "Why aren't you using your powers against me?"

"I told you. I won't let it control me."

"Every villain you fought and defeated has led you deeper and deeper into the essence of your powers. Let your powers define you."

"No. I decide who I am. I know you failed to do the same." Mintyyyx was quiet. "It was the only way to show them that a world reformed is a better world. You stand between me and that better world. You know you want that world too. I know that these people only love you when you save their lives. Do anything else and they will hate you. Do you truly want that?"

Blossom was quiet. "No. But I know they will not like being destroyed by you either."

"Your sisters have no better luck."

"Blossom!" Blossom saw her sister consumed by X's head. "Save the worl..." They disappeared into the body. Blossom was wide eyed. "No..." Flames entered her eyes. "YOU MONSTER!" A blast came out of her, sending Mintyyyx flying. He got up. Blossom was consumed by the flames. Her pupils were black. "You will pay for that!" She rammed into him, punching his face. She sent him flying. He charged back at her, punching her. She flipped him on his back, sending him crashing into a window. He fired a laser attack on her. She fired her fire laser eyes on him. It exploded.

They traded blows. Mintyyyx was surrounded by X's mist, and used it to fight back Blossom. She tried fighting back, but was defeated. She was sent flying to the ground, not moving. Mintyyyx loomed over her. "You've lost. Even with your powers, you cannot win. I never wanted you to defeat us with your new powers. I wanted to destroy the Powerpuff Girls with your new powers. I'm not the one who defeated you. You defeated yourselves. And now, I will finish this. Goodbye, Blossom. The last of the Powerpuff Girls."

Blossom closed her eyes. She was now finished. But then she looked and saw Buttercup and Bubbles holding him back. "Nobody defeats the Powerpuff Girls." Said Bubbles. "Because we got each other to look out after, loser." Said Buttercup.

"You see, Mintyyyx. You may be stronger, smarter, more prepared. But we've got love. And that's what makes the world go round." She punched Mintyyyx in the face. They reformed. Mintyyyx took off his mask and roared. He charged at the girls. The Powerpuff Girls got ready to punch him as he came.

They punched his face.

Mintyyyx fell down into the body. X made one final roar before dissolving. The dark clouds parted and the sun shown on Townsville. They landed on the street, not saying anything. Then they hugged each other, laughing. The citizens of Townsville exited the buildings they were trapped in. They ran towards their heroes, cheering and lifting them up in the air. The Professor came running up to them. He embraced Buttercup and Bubbles. Blossom was nervous for wanting to speak to him. But the Professor opened his arms for her. She smiled and ran for them. But then she fell and was surrounded by flames. Then the flames disappeared. She was badly burnt. "Blossom?" An ambulance came for her.
