Chapter 9

The giant snow-monster started heading towards Townsville the very moment it became its true form. Many of the citizens saw the monster and ran for their lives at the very moment that they saw it. It was a pretty normal routine. Just about any citizen who lived in Townsville knew it was best to run, and leave it to the Power Puff Girls. There were sadly several that tried to take on the monsters with failed attempts. They would've met their end if it weren't for the quick thinking of the Power Puff Girls to save as many citizens as possible.

The monster continued to walk towards Townsville. Every step it took shook the earth. The dark clouds blocked the sun so well that despite it was near summer; the sun couldn't reach the monster to melt it away. The only hope they had, were the Power Puff Gils. However, since it was believed that they had turned evil, many had lost hope.

Blossom soon arrived at the airport. The only thing that was really damaged was the control tower, which was still amazingly intact, with the only exception being that a giant ship was imbedded into it. However, Blossom still seemed to be hypnotized and didn't notice the damage to the control tower.

She suddenly saw the mist harden into a giant snow-monster. Seeing that made her be snapped back to reality. She immediately set Bubbles, who was now sleeping peacefully, on top of the airport where she knew she would be safe.

She was about to start battling the new monster, when she suddenly saw Buttercup on the ground, who was now lying there with her eyes closed. She then saw two beings approaching Buttercup. She immediately recognized them as Apollyon and Archfiend.

"This is too easy now!" Apollyon said as she approached Buttercup.

"Yeah, it'll be a sweet one to savor! Killing the strongest of all with our own two hands." Archfiend added.

They were about to reach Buttercup when Blossom immediately got in front of them and was ready to protect her sister.

"Don't you dare come near her!" Blossom warned. Though she knew she wasn't a match for them, she would fight to the death to protect her sister.

Apollyon smirked evilly at her. "Ah! Glad to see you survived, Blossom. I wasn't too sure if my final attack killed you, but we were planning on killing you after we take care of Buttercup." She said.

Blossom then noticed something. "Hey! Where's Angst? Shouldn't she also be here?" She asked.

She then heard Buttercup moan and saw her get up.

"Don't worry about it, red! She's gone! I killed that evil witch! And I'll kill those two as well!" She said as she pointed at Apollyon and Archfiend.

"What? How?" Blossom asked, confused.

"I just did, okay? I'll explain when we get home."

"Okay, three things…" Apollyon began, getting their attention. "One, you didn't kill Angst! That propeller on that plane did!" She pointed to the plane with the duranium propeller. "Just like you Power Puff Girls, the only metal that can cut through us when it's sharp is duranium. Two, for someone who is completely exhausted and doesn't stand a chance, you have a lot of spirit. I'm rather surprised. Third," She then smiled evilly. "Angst isn't really dead."

"Yeah right! I saw her get killed by that plane with my own two eyes!"

"Well, you did kill her, but she's not dead yet. When you killed her, you unleashed her true form!"

"What do you mean?"

"Look over there, towards the city." She said as she pointed in a certain direction.

Blossom and Buttercup looked towards the city, and saw the giant snow-monster, which was now rather close to the buildings.

"You see Blossom," Blossom now looked at Apollyon, who was speaking to her. "That is why I took you calling me a monster as a compliment. That's what I really am, Blossom. I really am a monster. I'm just in a disguise that's rather tough to beat. Oh, and it looks like Angst is about to attack the city. What are you going to do about it, Blossom?"

Blossom glared angrily at her. She was indeed shocked by what she was told, but there was great reason for Blossom to be angry. She was in quite a dilemma now. A monster was about to attack the city, and hundreds of lives could be hurt or even lost. Yet, if these two monsters that they were looking at were left alone, they could end up killing anyone they got their hands on. What was worse, by the look of things, they needed teamwork to defeat that giant snow-monster that was about to attack Townsville. Sending in someone to battle it alone would be suicide. It would also be suicide to be left alone to fight against two monsters that had mind reading powers.

"Look, Blossom." Apollyon began. "I know what you're thinking, but the truth is Him created us to destroy you. Everything we do to innocent lives is nothing more than a way to lure you out. However, we needed a way to get you to fight us without holding back, and so that we can be very proud of ourselves when we finally destroy you for good. Since the killing of Jay Mayor brought that out quite nicely, I'd say this would be a victory we can be proud of. Since we lured you in, there's no need to attack innocent lives. Besides, Him wants as many around as possible when he rules the world. You three girls are the only thing standing in his way. Trust me on that. Despite that I haven't known Him long, I know our master very well."

Blossom got out of her fighting stance, and just looked at them. "I'll be watching you!" She warned.

Blossom then took off, with Buttercup close behind. Apollyon turned to her evil sister after their enemies got a good distance ahead.

"Let's follow them. I don't want to miss the action!" She said.

The two Shadow Puffs then followed them.

"You're actually going to trust them, red?" Buttercup asked as they flew towards the monster.

"Not really, but there's a much bigger threat at hand right now. However, they were telling the truth pretty much. As far as I can tell, they only kill others to lure us in."

"Well red, I'll tell you this… I'm willing to use my head for once. It's only because I know that Angst is no pushover. I know her strength and her skill, and trust me, I was lucky that plane was around." Buttercup explained. "Just like before, I'm willing to go along with any plan you have, when I know strength won't be enough to win."

"Good to see that you feel differently about it all, Buttercup."

They soon reached the monster that was attacking the city. They then stopped near it.

"So red, what's the plan?" Buttercup asked, knowing very well the strength she was up against.

"Well, since she's made of snow, how about we melt her?" Blossom asked.

"How?"

"Simple! Our laser vision is also a powerful heat source, why not use it?"

Buttercup smirked. "You know, I actually like this plan strangely."

The two Power Puffs flew in and attacked the monster with their laser eyes. It actually worked. The heat of the laser eyes slowly melted Angst. However, Angst didn't seem to scream in pain at all. They kept up their attack until she was nothing more than a giant puddle of water.

"We won! Way to go, red!" Buttercup shouted as she gave her sister a high-five.

"Let's get Bubbles home now. I think we've had enough for one day."

As they started to leave, the liquid form of Angst morphed into a giant snake like being with glowing crimson red eyes. It seemed that the battle wasn't over yet.

What? Did you think melting her would work? Let me go further into Angst's bio.

Angst: The evil queen of water.
Background: Angst is pure water in her true form, with the exception of a heart being inside the liquid body of her. The only way to destroy her, is to destroy her heart. You destroy the heart, you destroy the life. She's as deadly as the mighty sea itself. Calm one minute, distructive the next.
Inspiration: Morpha, the Guardian ofthe Water Temple from The Legend of Zelda: The Orcaraina of Time.

More surprises are in store. The true evil of the Shadow Puff Girls will soon be unleashed.

In the meantime, please review.
