Chapter 10: The Darkness of Man.
There, on Dexter's old home, Mandark had staged everything for his last battle with Dexter.
Waking up rather weak, Blossom realized she was trapped, in a strange place and in a strange looking glass.
The only thing she could see, was Mandark, in the middle of a mess. This place looked like it once contained a large amount of machines and computers.
"Where am I?" Blossom asked.
Turning around, Mandark chuckled. He was wearing a piece of armor above his shirt and pants.
"This…is Dexter's old home."
"What is your problem with Dexter? And what does that have to do with me?" Blossom demanded, her legs still not responding at all.
Whatever that black gas was, it was powerful enough to take her powers away.
"Everything…Blossom." Mandark chuckled softly, he sure looks like he was ready to kill Dexter.
"When my sisters get here…"
"Your sisters ain't comin' here! Only Dexter…"
"Are you insane?"
"No. I'm perfectly sane. Seems to be that Dexter will take a while to get here, he has to prepare himself after all." Mandark chuckled and sighed as he took a seat on the floor, admiring Blossom behind the glass.
For a while, there was silence, Blossom kept glaring.
Then Mandark chuckled. "Let me tell you the story about us, it's only fair for you to know. Look around. This place, is not exactly Dexter's home. His house is up there." Mandark raised a finger and pointed up.
Raising an eyebrow, Blossom asked. "And this is what?"
"This…is Dexter's secret laboratory. Amazing, huh?"
Then Blossom looked around. "Well…seems to be he's good enough to compete with Phineas and Ferb…" Blossom whispered to herself.
"Huh?"
"Nothing…"
"As I was saying then…I met Dexter when we were kids…we never were popular. We were nerds. Other kids felt intimidated by our intellect. We could have been friends…good friends. But he. He wasn't always the good guy you met."
"Why do I have to believe you?"
"Because I'm telling you the truth. Like any kid, Dexter was cruel. He saw an opportunity. Instead of seeking friendship he made fun of me. My parents…were drug addicts…they were hippies…" Mandark laughed.
"Ignorant hippies. Peace and love they said…that my existence wasn't supposed to be physically male…" Mandark laughed some more before finally losing his smile.
"Wanna guess what my real name is? Susan. Do you honestly think, I had enough courage to face the world wearing girls clothes and having an effeminate look? When I met Dexter I thought I finally found someone that I could actually relate to…"
"Until…he found out I was a boy. And then…he pointed it out in front of everyone…"
"So you want to kill Dexter because he humiliated you in front of the whole class?" Blossom asked.
"That was the beginning of our rivalry, Blossom. Not the reason I want to cut his throat."
"Get to the point."
"Oh Blossom, aren't ya feisty? I see why Dexter has grown a crush on you."
"Then after that. I took the girlish look out of me. Made myself a makeover and finally I got rid of Susan, and what was left…was the darkness of man. Mandark."
"Build my own laboratory and Dexter and I had epic battle after epic battle. That's when I met her…Dexter's sister Dee Dee…a beautiful…beautiful girl…how can this amazing sweet girl like Dee Dee be related to that brute? I asked myself…"
"When I saw her for the first time…I fell in love…"
"Didn't know that Dexter has a sister…" Blossom said softly.
"Never mentioned you anything about her?" Mandark said with an angry tone. "How dare he?! Trying to forget her existence?!"
"Do you mean…that…she's dead?" Blossom put the dots together in her mind, why would Dexter not mention Dee Dee at all?
Then Mandark rub a hand against his forehead and spoke in a gentle soft tone. "It was an accident…we were young and…"
"What?!"
"Dexter…because of Dexter, my beautiful Dee Dee died!"
"What happened, Mandark?!"
"That was the last time we fought! Dexter was supposed to lose! Like a fair scientist, he was supposed to finally admit my mind was better than his!"
"But…Dee Dee…got in the way…she…got in between me and him…a laser shot…her heart and she died…instantly…Dee Dee…" Mandark cried softly.
"So you blame Dexter for her death?"
"It's all HIS FAULT!"
Then Blossom stood with difficulty. "Wrong! It's all yours! You're seriously trying to change my mind against Dexter?! You were kids! So what if Dexter made fun of you in the past?! You're not supposed to let that affect you! Why couldn't you just be the better man?! No, instead you followed a childish sentiment of vengeance and the result was Dee Dee's murder at your hands!"
"Shut up! You weren't there!"
"MANDARK!" The voice echoed through the ruins of his laboratory.
There he was, Dexter, wearing a few gadgets himself.
Looking back, Mandark smiled widely to himself.
"Good to see you again…old friend."
"You're not my friend." Dexter said in a soft angry voice.
"Shall we begin?" Mandark asked.
Outside, finally Buttercup arrived. "This is the place, right?" She asked from the phone that was being tracked by Phineas and Ferb back in their home.
"That is the place." Phineas said.
Sighing softly, Buttercup then said. "Kay, will call you when I find her."
"Don't do anything stupid man!" Mabel said on the other line.
After that, Buttercup busted her way into the house, looking around through the abandoned place but she found nothing. "There is nobody there!"
"There is a secret entrance to a room below the house." Ferb said.
"Where?!"
Suddenly Buttercup felt the hit on the face, someone appeared out of nowhere and punched her all the way outside of the house, destroying the walls in the process.
"Nobody is interrupting Mandark and Dexter, if you want to meddle in, you'll have to go through me!" A long brown haired girl said, looking up Buttercup cleaned the blood from her busted lip.
"Who the fuck are you?"
"Well, you can call me Sam and I'll be your worst nightmare!"
"You're kidding, right? You sound like a lame monologue of a cartoonish villain." Buttercup said.
"Really?! This will be fun then. Heard you're the strongest of the Powerpuff."
"You have no idea…" Buttercup prepared herself and the match begun.
Back at the Powerpuff's home, Professor Utonium and Miss Keane patiently waited for their daughters' call, Brandy had already fallen asleep.
A knock at the door was heard.
"Finally!" Miss Keane said and Professor Utonium followed.
When Keane answered the door, they gasped and stepped back.
There was that orange man from the tv that burned Black White to death.
"Missed me? Utonium?"
"Huh? Who are you?" Miss Keane asked.
"You stole my research, and you created them." Professor X told Utonium who had a fearful look on his face.
"James? Who is this man?"
"You…can't be alive…the van…where you drove to Gravity Falls…there was blood all over…"
"My mind isn't exactly accurate about what happened that time. But the fact is I'm here Utonium. The moment, has finally come. Now…we're going to make a trip." Professor X then took hold of Miss Keane, making her scream lightly.
"Or I will kill your wife."
"Please…calm down. What do you want?" Utonium asked.
"The original formula…"
"It's complicated…"
"Then show me…"
"That's…out of the question…if they found out…they will tear this place apart."
"Who?"
"Those observers. The Blind Eye..."
"Please James! Just give him what he wants!" Keane screamed.
"They will kill us all if they find about this!" Professor Utonium said again.
"This is intriguing. But I have to say that you currently have no right to defy me. Do we need to take a trip upstairs?"
"NO! Leave my daughter out of this!"
"Then bring me the formula Utonium! Who completed my work!?"
"This…society…Membrane, Wakeman and I completed your work using their calculations. They never tell us their names, they only called themselves The Blind Eye Society. The one that I do remember was a blonde man…he was wearing a mask…called himself Bill. He was an old man in a wheelchair…he only kept saying that three was the key."
"It's kinda hard to believe a fairy tale like that Utonium. I mean really? Sugar, Spice and Everything Nice? That three…?" Professor X said.
Gulping lightly, Utonium shook his head. "No…that is obviously what I told Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup…so they wouldn't ask any questions…I kept that version…for a long time…"
"Those guys…all of our…interns. Our hired employees when we completed your work. When we finished…we found them all dead. A huge room with over 50 corpses. Everyone we worked with a whole year, they were killed by these insane people and this demented man Bill…Always watching he said. All the time."
"Fascinating. I've seen worse and I've killed worse, didn't you saw me putting an end to that Mad Dog, Black White? I fear no one Utonium. Now, where is the formula?"
"Gravity Falls…where you were called dead." Utonium sighed. "Please leave my wife and daughters out of this."
"Like I said then…we're going on a trip." Professor X laughed and then told. "Now walk."
