The Powerpuff Girls: Ch.11- Goo Goo A Go-Go
The people of Townsville were usually very friendly and outgoing. They enjoyed going about their day, meeting other citizens, and strolling through the streets, carefree and content. It was a very happy place…most of the time.
"Townsville!" yelled a booming voice in a giant purple military style tank. A closer look at the tank revealed Mojo Jojo inside. "I, Mojo Jojo, will be your new leader!"
He then started blasting lasers in different directions all around the city, destroying everything they touched. Mojo cackled evilly, but suddenly he was interrupted by a loud pounding sound on the outside of the tank.
"Huh?" he asked. He grabbed his periscope and saw the Powerpuff Girls punching the tank.
"I don't think so, Mojo!" said Blossom as she and her sisters punched and pounded the tank.
"You won't ever take Townsville!" cried Bubbles.
"The only thing you will be the leader of is the 'We Kicked Mojo's Butt' club!" shouted Buttercup.
"Stop! Stop! Stop!" he shouted. "You are wasting your breath. I, Mojo Jojo, will take over Townsville and will never be in this 'Kicked Butt' club that you speak of. This tank is impenetrable! Punching it and kicking it over and over again will just-"
He was cut off by the sound of metal breaking and the tank being ripped open.
"You were saying?" asked Blossom with a smirk.
"Uh…" started Mojo. He chuckled nervously. Then, he suddenly slipped out from under the Powerpuff Girls and escaped as he fled from the tank.
"Mojo, get back here!" shouted Blossom. She and her sisters flew after him.
Mojo ran through the city, trying to avoid the Powerpuff Girls. At the last second, he sneaked into an alley and hid behind a building.
"Where did he go?" asked Bubbles.
"He was heading this way," said Blossom. "Come on, girls. Eventually, we'll find him."
They continued to fly around the city, looking for Mojo. When they were completely out of sight, Mojo wiped his forehead with relief and left the alley, frustrated with his defeat.
"Curses," he muttered. "No matter what I do, I cannot defeat those Powerpuff Girls! A super evil genius like me should have no trouble defeating those super 'do-gooder' girls." Deep in thought, he started to walk across Townsville's central park. "There must be a way I can defeat those girls."
Suddenly, something hit him on the head. "What the…" He looked down and saw a baby's rattle!
"Hey!" he said, rubbing his head. He looked up and saw a mother pushing her baby in a stroller.
"Ooh, here you go Sammy," said the mother, picking up the rattle and handing it to her son. She scoffed at Mojo. "I can't believe that short dirty gorilla tried to steal your rattle!" As she quickly turned to rush away with the stroller, dirt got all over Mojo's feet.
"Ingrates," he mumbled harshly. Suddenly, he screamed and broke the silence. "I am a chimpanzee, not a gorilla!" Just then, Mojo had an idea. "Wait a minute. That's it! Babies! If the Powerpuff Girls are turned into babies, then they will never be able to stop my plans of world conquest!" He cackled evilly.
Later that night, the Powerpuff Girls were getting ready for bed.
"I can't believe we never caught Mojo," said Buttercup in a frustrated tone.
"How can a monkey run so quickly?" asked Bubbles.
"You know how tricky Mojo is," said Blossom as she and her sisters got into bed. "Don't worry girls. We'll find him tomorrow."
As the Powerpuff Girls started to fall asleep, the bushes outside their bedroom started to rustle. Mojo lifted his head out of a bush and looked up at their bedroom window. He had an evil grin on his face. Then, he hopped out of the bushes and climbed up the side of the house. He blasted their window open with his laser cannon and jumped inside.
"What?" said Blossom as she and her sisters quickly sat up.
Mojo cackled evilly. "Once I fire this baby-fying ray at all of you, you will never be able to stop my plans ever again!"
"What'd he say?" asked Bubbles. "Gravy-frying ray?"
The girls stared blankly at Mojo. "What's a "gravy-frying ray?" they asked in unison.
"No!" exclaimed Mojo as he jumped up and down irritated. "Not a gravy-frying ray…a baby-fying ray! This is a baby-fying ray! This ray will…well, you will see."
He pointed the ray at the girls. Just as he was about to fire it, the Powerpuff Girls' super-powered cousin, Jessie, opened their bedroom door, startling Mojo. It startled him so much that he accidentally pointed his ray in her direction.
"What's going on in-" she was cut off by Mojo's ray accidentally firing.
"Jessie?" asked Bubbles.
A cloud of smoke surrounded her, but once it cleared, a baby about 9 months old sat in her place.
The baby giggled.
"No! No! No!" exclaimed Mojo. "That was meant for you three!" He pointed at the girls. "This was not meant for anyone else besides you! Oh, she distracted me. Ugh!" He looked down. "The only thing left to do now is to turn you three into babies just like her!" He pointed the ray back at them.
"Grab him!" shouted Blossom.
As they gave him a beating, Buttercup grabbed Mojo's ray gun and hid it under the couch. Then, all three Powerpuff girls pounded him together to teach him a lesson. Suddenly, Baby Jessie made a sound and all three girls looked away briefly. When they looked back to finish Mojo off and take him to jail, he was gone! Somehow he managed to escape into the darkness.
"This is not over!" he mumbled quietly as he hid behind the bushes. He looked around for his ray gun, but it was gone! "What? Where'd it go?" Mojo growled. CURSES!"
Meanwhile, back in their bedroom, the Powerpuff Girls floated in front of the now "baby" Jessie.
"Aw, she's sooo cute," gushed Bubbles. She flew down and started to play peek-a-boo with her.
"So what do we do now that Jessie is a baby?" asked Buttercup.
"Well, we can't leave her like this," said Blossom. "We have to change her back. The question is…'How?'"
"Yeah," agreed Buttercup.
Blossom and Buttercup started to think. Then, Blossom had an idea.
"Maybe, the Professor has something in his lab that can help!" she said. "Come on, girls!"
Blossom flew out of the room with Buttercup behind her. Bubbles was still playing with Baby Jessie, not aware that her sisters had already left.
"Bubbles, come on!" shouted Blossom.
"Okay," she said semi-reluctantly. "Come on, Jessie." She picked up Baby Jessie and followed her sisters.
Meanwhile, down the hall in the Professor's bedroom, there was a loud noise.
"What was that!?" he shouted as he sat up startled.
Nervous, he got out of bed, grabbed a flashlight, went downstairs, and looked around the house. He searched all over, but he didn't find anything. He scratched his head in confusion.
"I guess it was just a dream," he said. "Maybe it's coming from the outside."
He opened the front door but all was quiet. Suddenly, he heard the loud noise again!
"It sounds like it's coming from my lab!" he yelled. "Someone's gotten into the Chemical X!"
He quickly ran down to the lab, accidentally leaving the front door ajar.
"Stop right there!" he shouted. "I've got a…uh… flashlight and I'm not afraid to use it!"
When the lights came on, he saw the Powerpuff Girls going through all of his lab equipment.
"Girls!" he cried. "Oh, what a relief! I thought someone was stealing the Chemical X." He turned back to go upstairs, but then stopped in his tracks.
"Wait a minute," he said suddenly. "What are you doing down here so late?"
Before the Powerpuff Girls could say anything, Baby Jessie started to make cooing sounds and crawled right in front of the professor.
"A baby?" asked the Professor. "How did a baby get here?!"
"Well…" Blossom started.
"Mojo Jojo snuck into our house to try and turn us into babies, but he missed and accidentally turned Jessie into a baby instead!" Bubbles said really fast.
"This is Jessie?" he asked. He looked down at her. She started to giggle and he picked her up. He looked into her eyes. "It is Jessie! Don't worry, Jessie. We'll find a way to turn you back to your correct age."
"How do we change her back, professor?" asked Blossom.
"I don't know," said the Professor, putting Jessie back down. "I don't know how Mojo did this or what kind of equipment he used. If only there was a way to know."
"Well…" began Buttercup. In a flash, she disappeared and then reappeared with Mojo's baby-fying ray. "This could give us a start."
"How did you get that?" asked Blossom with a smile.
Buttercup scoffed. "It's easy when we're giving him the beating he deserves."
"Let's see it," said the Professor. Buttercup handed him the ray. "Hmm…I think I can reverse the effects on this ray by rewiring the controls. It may take a while, but I think it can be done."
"Good," said Blossom.
"Yeah," said Buttercup. "Couldn't be done fast enough."
"See, Jessie," said Bubbles. "There's nothing to worry about."
"Um, Bubbles," said Blossom. "Where is Jessie?"
"Huh?" she looked around, but she saw that Jessie had wondered off! "Jessie!"
"Jessie!" called Blossom and Buttercup. They flew up the stairs to the living room and the Professor followed.
"There she is!" called Buttercup pointing at the front door. But before they could stop her, Baby Jessie suddenly crawled out of the front door and used her force field power to launch herself toward Townsville!
"We've got to catch her!" declared Blossom.
"Okay, girls!" said the Professor. "You go out and bring Jessie back here. I'll stay here and work on the baby-fying ray."
The girls nodded in agreement and flew out of the house in search for their cousin.
"Keep an eye out for her, girls," said Blossom as they flew over the city. It was morning now so it would be easier to spot her. They flew a little bit longer until eventually they saw her.
"Look, there!" said Bubbles. She saw Baby Jessie crawling up the steps of City Hall.
"Let's go!" shouted Blossom. They flew over to the steps, but just as they were about to grab her, Baby Jessie launched herself forward into the City Hall building.
They went inside City Hall and tried to find Baby Jessie. They tried their best to catch her, but every time they entered a room from the main hallway, Baby Jessie would launch herself out of one room and crawl into another one!
It continued like that until Baby Jessie stopped at the open door in front of the Mayor's office. The Mayor was sitting at his desk reading his "My Little Horsey" catalogue.
"The pink one seems nice," mumbled the Mayor. "Ooh, I like the blue one, too."
Baby Jessie crawled in the Mayor's office and crawled right past his desk.
"Hmm… Maybe the purple one," continued the mayor. "Or the…baby one?" His eyes widened. "BABY?!" He looked down and saw Baby Jessie.
"Goo goo," babbled Baby Jessie as she giggled. Then, she launched herself back out of the Mayor's office and into the hall.
The Powerpuff Girls rushed in.
"Which way did she go?" asked Blossom.
"That way!" pointed the Mayor in the direction of the hall.
The Powerpuff Girls flew all through City Hall in search for their cousin, but Baby Jessie was gone. Then, they flew all over the city to try and catch her. They found her at the Townsville Park, the library, the museum, and every other major city attraction. But every time they caught up with her, she would launch herself somewhere else! Eventually, they lost track of her.
"We've searched everywhere!" said Buttercup.
"The Beach! The Mall! The Movies!" went on Bubbles. "She's not anywhere!"
They floated in the air and looked down at the very large city.
"Where could she be?" asked Blossom.
Meanwhile, in Mojo's lair, Mojo was working vigorously on a second baby-fying ray. He was working so vigorously that he didn't notice baby Jessie had wandered inside his lair!
"Yes, yes," he began. "This is it. This will guarantee me power over all of Townsville. With this new baby-fying ray, I will once again use it on the Powerpuff Girls! Only this time I've corrected the ray so that it will ONLY affect the Powerpuff Girls. It will not work on anyone else besides the Powerpuff Girls and, therefore, cannot be wasted on anyone else!" He cackled evilly. "But, before I tend to conquering the world…" He put the ray gun down on his invention table. "I must tend to some Mojo happiness."
As he grabbed a gallon of banana-ama choc-a-mango ice cream, Jessie looked in awe at the new baby-fying ray on the table.
"Goo goo," she said. She started to crawl over to it.
"Ahh, that was Mojo-licious!" He gave a relaxing sigh. "Now I can get back to my…" he stopped in his tracks when he saw that his new baby-fying ray was gone! "My baby-fying ray! Where is it?! I left it right here!" He looked around and groaned. "Where is that cursed ray?!"
He heard the sound of cooing. He looked and saw Baby Jessie grabbing at the baby-fying ray!
"The once adolescent Jessie?" he questioned. "How did you get in here? Don't you know that my laboratory is off limits to all except me?"
There was a pause as Baby Jessie looked at him blankly. Then, she giggled while smacking the ray on the floor again and again.
"Stop! Stop! Stop!" yelled Mojo. He grabbed the ray and turned to it. "This is not a toy!" He then looked up and saw that she was gone. He looked around for her, but he couldn't see her. "Oh, where did that curs-ed rug rat go now?!"
What Mojo didn't know, was that Baby Jessie was using her invisibility power. She crawled closer to Mojo and started to climb on him.
"What the!" said Mojo suddenly as he felt something crawl on him. He couldn't grab her because she was too quick. "All right, Jessie, I know you are on me. You must get off, immediately!" He stomped his feet and threw a Mojo tantrum.
She reappeared on top of his helmet. "Goo goo," she babbled and then giggled.
"Ugh! Get off!" He tried to get her off, but she reached down and grabbed his nose and wouldn't let go! He kept trying to pull her off and she kept holding on. He tried to grab her again, but she crawled down his back where he couldn't reach her. Eventually, her playful antics became too much for Mojo. He started to groan, which turned into a very loud yell.
"Aaaggghhh!" he yelled. "Get off me at once! I am Mojo and this is degrading!"
At that moment, the Powerpuff Girls busted into Mojo's lair.
"Mojo!" yelled the Powerpuff Girls.
"Powerpuff Girls?!" questioned Mojo. "What are you doing here?"
"We heard you yell," said Blossom. "Now give us back Jessie!
Mojo grinned evilly. "You girls are very foolish to come here to find me. For you see I have made…" he pulled out his new baby-fying ray. "Another baby-fying ray! And the beauty of this ray is that it will only work on you girls and no one else. Which means, that Jessie can't save you this time." He cackled evilly. "Now, say 'ga ga,' girls." He went to point the ray at them, but to his and the girls surprise the ray was gone! "What? Where did it go?! I just had it!"
"Goo goo?" babbled Baby Jessie who was now holding the ray.
Mojo growled. "Give me that!" He grabbed the ray from her. He held her up over his head with one arm and held the ray high up in the other arm. "I told you that this mustn't be touched!" She giggled. "Enough! I told you that I'm going to take over the world!
Suddenly, Baby Jessie was starting to feel the effects of climbing all over Mojo and spit up all over his face.
"Ewww…" he said in disgust. He suddenly let go of both Baby Jessie and the ray.
"Jessie!" shouted Bubbles.
The girls flew at high speed over to Baby Jessie and caught her before she hit the ground. Meanwhile, the baby-fying ray hit the floor and broke into pieces.
Mojo looked at the now broken ray. He growled. "Nooooo! That was my ticket to conquer the world! I was finally gonna become the ruler of the world. My glorious evil plans ruined by three little girls and their rug rat! Oh, how am I ever supposed to…"
Mojo continued to ramble on and on while the Powerpuff Girls took him to jail and booked him.
Later, the Powerpuff Girls and Baby Jessie were back in the Professor's lab.
"Just a few more adjustments," said the Professor while tightening a screw with a wrench. "And…it…is…finished!" He turned to the girls and showed them the ray. "Here we go, girls. This ray should turn Jessie back into a teenager in no time. Now, set her down gently on the floor."
Bubbles, who was holding Jessie, put her down on the floor. The girls flew out of the way.
"Okay," said the Professor. He aimed the ray at Jessie. "Here we go."
He fired it and a mist completely covered Jessie. When the mist disappeared, there in the baby's place was their cousin Jessie who was changed back into her original 15-year-old self!
"Jessie! You're back!" shouted the Powerpuff Girls excitedly. They rushed over to her and tackled her to the ground, hugging her.
"Back?" questioned Jessie. "Back from where?"
"It's a long story," said the Professor. "But, we're glad you're back."
The girls spent the evening filling Jessie in on everything that happened when she was a baby.
"I can't believe I actually spit up on him," said Jessie embarrassed.
"Well I guess that's one "sticky" take down he'll remember," laughed Buttercup.
"Yeah," laughed Blossom, "I guess he shouldn't "stick" to crime."
"He's…he's…as "sticky" as a rabbit rolling in…marshmallows!" offered Bubbles.
The girls stared at Bubbles. "Marshmallows?" the girls asked in unison.
"Yes, marshmallows," said Bubbles proudly. "Because…marshmallows are…great."
"They sure are," agreed Jessie as she put her arms on Bubbles' shoulders. "Hey girls…let's make some S'mores! Last one to the kitchen is a…Sticky Mojo!"
There was a sudden gust as the girls and Jessie raced to the kitchen to see who would be first.
