A Shadow, thin and snakelike, wound through the halls of Townsville Home for Super Villains. It stayed near the walls, speeding through the building with a destination in mind. It paused, however, at an open door and slipped inside without anyone noticing.

It was a break room for the employees, a group of which was gathered around a TV mounted on the wall. A news report was playing, showing live footage of a battle of some sort while a woman talked over it.

"-and as you'll see Chet, it appears that the Powerpuff Girls, as they're being called by the locals, have got quite the handle on things down here on Logan's Way. Despite repeated hits by tear gas, rubber bullets, and even a grenade they have manged to push the Gangreen Gang away from the general populace." The screen witched to show a side by side view of Logan's Way and a man with perfectly groomed dark hair and a glowing smile.

"Wow Martha, that is something. Not even the police have been able to so much as drive the gang off for months. Yet here we are, with our very own super heroines actually beating them into a corner. Amazing, isn't it?" He flashed a winning smile at the camera, light glinting off too shiny teeth.

"You got it Chet!" Martha responded happily. "Oh! This just in, but seems like we've gotten some of our guys close enough to watch the girls' finishing moves!" The view switched to three young girls dragging five teenage boys with green skin out of a building, throwing them to the ground in front of a group of police. "Holy-! That looks like Ace D. Copular, the infamous leader of the Gangreen Gang! He hasn't been seen in public for over a year!"

The Shadow lost interest at this point and left the room, as unnoticed as when it entered. It continued through the halls, weaving between the feet of unsuspecting employees. It had wasted too much time on the TV, and now hurried to it's destination with no other thought in mind.

It slipped into an elevator just as the doors slid close, huddling in the corner and listening to the two employees inside talk as they descended.

"So, I hear the girls took down Sedusa yesterday." One of them said as the other read through a file.

"Oh really?" She looked up, staring at her companion in shock. "Wow, she's been at large for almost ten years. How'd they manage that?"

"Yep. They could see right through her disguise, literally. They have X-Ray vision, it seems." The first woman explained, as the elevator stopped and the doors opened. The two employees exited, continuing their conversation as they headed for one of the cells. The Shadow, on the other hand, went straight for a cell that was separate from the others.

As it approached the door it could hear muttering from the mad genius within. The Shadow almost seemed to smirk to itself as it phased through the door and into the room

What had just a month ago been pristine white walls were now covered in equations and formulas. The Shadow slid over to the head of another shadow, this one attached to someone, and began to Whisper.

Jojo, now called Mojo Jojo at his insistence, looked up from the biology textbook he'd been reading. He stared into space for moment, then smirked and flipped to the blank page at the back. He grabbed up one of the black markers the guards had provided and began to jot down another formula in it. He gave a quiet, dark chuckle as The Shadow continued to Whisper, completely unnoticed by the mad genius monkey.


And here is the epilogue for Powerpuff Girls RISE! I would like to thank everyone who read, favorited, followed, and reviewed on this story. It means a lot to me.

Now, as you might be able to guess this is not the true end. There will be a sequel! Four sequels, actually. However it won't be up for a while yet, as I will start writing it in November. So make sure y'all keep on the lookout for Powerpuff Girls RISE! What Happens Next?
