Episode 20: Animal Instincts
On a nice and sunny day, Professor Utonium is driving in the car with the girls to Townsville National Forest to have a picnic. Berry looks outside the window on the passenger seat to see the large trees, bushes, and different kinds of animals here in the forest.
"It sure is a nice day to have a picnic in the National Forest," Bubbles happily replies.
"Yeah," Buttercup mutters.
"Aw don't be like that, Buttercup. You'll like being in the forest," Bubbles replies.
Buttercup rolls her eyes, and says, "The only reason why I'm coming is to play some ball."
"Don't forget we're going to introduce Berry to a special someone," Blossom says, winking her eye with a grin on her face.
Berry asks from the front, "Which reminds me, who is it that you three want to introduce me to?"
The girls begin giggling in reply.
Bubbles stop giggling to say, "We can't tell you. The girls and I decided to make it a surprise."
"And you'll find out soon enough," Professor Utonium replies with glee.
Berry nods her head, and says, "Okay."
The professor drives in the car for about a half hour, until they have reach the National Forest. The girls help get everything out of the car and set up their picnic to have some lunch. After setting up their picnic, the girls take Berry to the forest to explore and to introduce her to a friend of theirs.
Berry looks around to see how beautiful the forest here. There are so many different kinds of trees, flowers, and animals here. A white bunny comes up to Berry and smile at her. Berry kneel down and pet the little bunny on the head. Then continue following the girls. After some time walking, the four sisters come across a large oak tree.
Curious, Berry asks, "So girls is the friend you want to introduce me to is around here."
"Yep. She lives in the tree," Bubbles happily answers.
"Then… where is she?" Berry asks looking skeptic.
"Just let us call her, and you'll see," Blossom replies.
Berry nods her head in reply.
Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup call out, "Bullet!"
"Bullet, we're here to visit and we brought someone we want you to meet," Bubbles adds with a smile.
The four sisters look up to see the friend up in the tree. Just then, a small brown squirrel with a large curled up tail, and big orange eyes. The small creature chatter and runs downstairs at top speed untils he is on the ground in front of the four girls.
Bubbles picks up the squirrel and hugs her, "Hi Bullet, it's nice to see you again."
"So Bullet, how are things going?" Buttercup asks.
"Are you doing fine?" Blossom adds.
Bullet answers the girls question in squirrel talk with a smile on the face.
Bubbles happily translate, "Bullet sys she is doing fine, and things are okay in the forest."
Berry smiles looking at the little animal, "Hey little squirrel."
Bullet looks to see a new girl looking like herself and her friends. Bullet turns to Bubbles and ask about Berry in squirrel talk.
Bubbles giggles, "Oops, I almost forgot."
"Bullet, this is our sister, Berry. Berry, this is our Powerpuff Girl member, Bullet," Bubbles happily introduces the two.
Berry giggles with glee, "It's very nice to meet you Bullet. I'm a Powerpuff Girl too, and I'm glad that you're a member of our team."
Bullet happily chat with Berry in her squirrel language.
"Yes. I can talk to you as well as other animals. I love in a ay lived with them in the past ten years," Berry replies.
Bullet replies back.
"It's kind of a long story, but I love to tell you about it…" Berry answers.
Berry saddens a bit, "But… it's kind of a sad and hard story for me to explain.
Bullet continues to talk to Berry some more.
"It's okay," Berry replies.
During the conversation, Bubbles becomes a bit concern while Blossom and Buttercup become confused about the talk Berry and Bullet are having. In fact, Blossom and Buttercup can't understand what Bullet is saying to her.
Blossom turns to Bubbles, and asks, "What is Bullet saying to Berry?"
"Bullet is asking about Berry's history, including about what happened to her that caused her to live on an island for of animals for ten years," Bubbles answers.
"Oh?" Blossom and Buttercup questionably reply.
Just then, they hear the professor calling to them, "Girls, lunch time."
"Well, I guess it's time for us to get some lunch," Blossom says.
Berry asks Bullet, "Will you like to join us for lunch?"
Bullet talks in squirrel with a smile on her face.
"She says yes," Bubbles translate with a smile.
Sometime later, the girls and the professor are having lunch. Bullet is also joining them for lunch as well. Though, Bullet is having some acorns, a little water, and some popcorn. Either way, they are having a nice lunch.
"It sure is nice to be having a picnic today, and we get to hang out with Bullet," Blossom says with a smile.
Bullet chatters with a smile.
Bubbles giggles, and says, "Bullet agrees."
"I agree to," Berry adds.
Then Buttercup asks, "So Berry, what you want to do after lunch?"
"I was thinking on exploring the forest and maybe play some games with some of the animals," Berry answers.
"Are you going to transform into one to do so?" Bubbles asks with glee.
"I sure am. And since I want to have some fun with Bullet, I'll turn myself with a squirrel so we can climb and jump around trees, and other squirrel stuff," Berry explains her idea of fun.
Blossom turns to Berry, "Sounds like being in the forest reminds you of being back on the island."
"A little," Berry answers with a slightly sad expression.
She then smiles, and says, "Don't get me wrong, I do love live in Townsville and explore the city life, but I do miss the open space and being one with nature. Back on the island, I had to do a lot of adapting so I can survive and find some food."
"I guess there is a good and bad side to be one with nature," Blossom replies.
"Sounds like it to me," Buttercup says.
Bubbles giggles, "I think it sounds fun to be with a lot of animals.
"Still, you never know what surprises nature has for you," Berry replies.
Just then, they hear a loud horn and their spot has been overshadowed, along with a familiar young girl's voice shouting, "Surprise!"
The family and the little squirrel looks to see what the noise is coming from. They a long white limousine parked at the picnic area. On top of it, they see the Morebucks, specialty Princess, Duchess, and Paul, along with some of their servants. They are dressed up for being outdoors, and they see the Utonium family.
"Hey super gal pals," Princess says with a smirk on her face.
"Morebucks what are you doing here?" Buttercup asks with a stern look.
"Oh, me and my cousins are going to hang out in the forest. And by that, I mean we're doing it how rich people do it," Princess says it in a braggy tone.
Berry waves with a smile, "Hi Duchess."
After having her drink, Duchess takes off her sunglasses, and says, "Hey Berry, how are you doing?"
"Doing fine, how are you doing?" Berry replies with a smile.
"Fine. Just enjoying the life of the rich and wealthy," Duchess answers. Then has another sip of her drink.
Buttercup whispers to Berry," Remind me, again why you're friends with her?"
"Buttercup, don't be rude," Berry quietly scolds.
Berry then flies up on the limo to see Paul. Paul sees Berry flying up to him, and his cheeks begin to blush. The two are worried to ay something wrong and that might make them look like a dork. Even though they are both happy to see each other
"Hi Paul," Berry says.
Paul waves with a smile "Hey Berry."
"So… how are you doing?" Berry asks.
"Uh fine, how are you today?" Paul replies, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"Oh, I'm doing fine. I was just being with my family and meeting a friend of my sister," Berry shyly answers.
The two stop talking and begin to look at each other while their cheeks are blushing. Princess, Duchess, and the girls see the two are giving each other the love look, and begin to smile and trying their best not to giggle.
Then Berry asks, "So what brings you guys here today?"
"Oh just business and all this. Princess mention something about buying the forest," Paul answers.
Berry becomes confused, "I think this is a National Forest. Why would Princess want to buy it?"
The girls fly overhearing the conversation. They are not happy about it.
Blossom firmly asks looking at Princess, "Yeah. Why do you want to buy the forest?"
"To turn it into a spa," Princess answers.
"A spa? But, a lot of animals live here. I don't think they'll like it if you try to turn it into a spa," Bubbles explains.
"Says you," Princess remarks.
Then Princess says, "Well, we better be on our way. See you later gal pals."
The limo begins to drive away with them still on top. Berry haves her hand goodbye, mostly to her friends. However, they end up with a bit of a problem. Princess is trying to buy the forest to turn it into a spa. This means that the animals' home and Bullet's home will be destroyed.
A week later, Berry and the girls head back to the forest to help Bullet find a way to stop the demolition of the forest. Sadly, Bullet has come over with some bad news.
"The animals are going to revolt against the Princess and the workers," Bubbles exclaims in shock.
Bullet nods her head in reply.
"We got to do something. If we don't people and animals are going to get hurt," Berry says with concern.
Then Blossom asks, "What can we do? This is legal law enforcement. Princess deal is legal."
"Well, we got to do something," Bubbles says.
Buttercup rolls her eyes, "I'd say we let the animals revolt. It's a good way to teach Princess Morbucks a lesson about messing with something you shouldn't."
"That's nasty!" Berry sternly scolds.
"She's right. Even though Princess Morbucks is our enemy, it's not right to let the animals hurt here," Blossom says.
She then mutters, "Even if she does in a way deserve it for the trouble she caused."
"Still, we can't allow Princess to destroy the forest or allow the animals to attack her or any of the workers coming here," Berry adds.
"I'm sure we can persuade the workers to take their leave somewhere else, we should be fine," Blossom says.
Berry scratchers her chin in concern, "I don't know. Princess is not the type of person we can compromise with or persuade with."
"What's the worst that can happen?" Bubbles asks.
Just then, they begin to hear loud shaking sounds as the ground begin to shake. Then they start to hear loud fast buzzing sound. Finally, many different animals are running away from the scene. The girls and Bullet fly up so they can be out of their away.
"What in the world is going on?" Blossom asks.
"Whatever it is, all the animals are very scared," Bubbles worriedly adds.
Then Berry who understand animals, says, "The animals said something about a monster cutting all the trees in a forest. A giant, mechanical, yellow, chainsaw monster."
"A mechanical monster? You don't think?" Buttercup replies, putting the pieces.
"Only one way to find out," Berry says.
"Right! Let's go!" Blossom confirms.
The four girls and the little squirrel fly to where the animals are ringing from. They run into Mayor Gopher and Ms. Fox, telling them that the monster is up ahead and need help before they destroy the forest. When they reach to where the monster is, the girls gasp to see that the monster is not a monster at all. In fact, it's a giant gold color robot with chainsaw for arms.
Berry confirms the creature, "It's a robot!"
"Yeah. And I think I know who is driving it," Buttercup says, glaring at the machine.
Looking at the robot, they see someone inside. Sadly, it's someone they have seen only a week ago.
It's Princess Morbucks, and she says with a smirk, "Hey girls, look what I got."
"Princess, what are you doing with that thing?" Berry asks in shock.
"It's my chainsaw machine that is going to destroy this forest," Princess answers.
"You can't do that. People love coming here, and you're destroying the animals homes. Plus, I'm pretty sure that robot is not legal for construction work," Berry sternly says.
"Like I even care. Besides, as long as I'm getting work down it doesn't matter if it's legal or not," Princess remarks.
Blossom rolls her eyes looking blunt, "I doubt it."
"Whatever, so get out of my way so I can chop off some forest," Princess says, not giving a care.
"Forget it Princess!" Berry protests.
"Yeah. We're not going to let you destroy this forest," Bubbles agrees.
"Yeah." Blossom and Buttercup repeat the message to the rich girl.
Princess rolls her eyes in response, "Well it looks like I'm going to have to do this the hard way."
"So I'm guessing it's a fight then!" Buttercup shouts, holding her fists out.
Berry sigh, "Why do all villains resort to violence all the time?"
"That's just the way it is," Bubbles replies.
Just then, Blossom screams, "Look out!"
The girls look to see one of the chainsaws coming at them. Luckily they dodge just in the nick of time. The girls and the squirrel try using their laser eyes, and bruit force on the robot, but nothing seems to be working. The robot is not breaking or even on the verge of denting. Feeling a bit tired, they regroup to come up with a different plan.
"It looks like we can't use force on that robot," Berry replies.
"That thing is too tough," Bubbles adds.
Then Buttercup asks, "So what do we do?"
"We need to stop that robot," Berry says.
Then Blossom says, "We also need to get all the animals to safety."
"Bullet and I can get all the animals to safety," Bubbles says having her arm.
"Then it looks like the rest of us are going after Princess," Buttercup adds.
"Then let's do it!" Blossom says.
The five split up to take on their responsibilities. Bubbles and Bullet use their speed and strength to get all the animals to safety. Bullet also warns the other animals of the danger they are in.
Blossom uses her ice breath on the robot's feet. Then Berry uses her psychic abilities to stop the machine in its tracks. Finally Buttercup use her brute force and energy balls at the machine, but nothing is working. Just then, Princess pushes a button on the robot and it unleashes powerful lasers and try to zap the girls. Luckily, the girls manage to dodge the lasers before they get struck by it. However it ends up hitting a large branch, and Bubbles is right below of it.
Bubbles worriedly says, "Go on lady bugs, you have to get away!"
Seeing this, Berry exclaims, "Bubbles look out!"
Bubbles sees the large branch, and blows the lady bugs away from the scene. Berry reaches Bubbles and catches the branch with her power.
Berry looks down, and asks, "Are you alright!"
"Yeah. Thanks Berry," Bubbles says, feeling appreciated for the save.
The two look to see Princess is trying to hurt her sisters as she chop down every tree in sight. They see the animals are trying to fight back, but doesn't have the strength against the giant mechanical monster. This makes Berry very upset, Berry loves being around nature and Princess is ruining it for everyone.
Berry glares at the robot, "I think I just about had it with that girl and that machine for destroying this forest."
"Yeah. She's being mean to the animals," Bubbles agrees.
Berry picks up Bubbles with a serious look, "So let's fight princess so we can protect the forest and all of its beauty, so everyone can enjoy it."
"Yay!" Bubbles cheers.
Just then, Berry's hair begin to glow and creates and exploding spark around the area. Everyone shield their eyes in reply. When the explosion is cleared, everyone can see a different person in Bubbles and Berry's place. They see a tall woman with light tan skin, and her hair is greenish color with light green streaks on the hair. The hair is in a style of pig tails each of them is in a braid. The eyes, dress, and blouse jacket are purplish red color. She is wearing mary janes and white stockings. When Blossom and Buttercup see the new girl while Bubbles and Berry are gone, they realized there is only one explanation.
"Is that what I think it is?" Blossom asks in shock.
Buttercup shouts with excitement, "Yeah! Bubbles and Berry fused together!"
The new girl looks around her new body to see how different she is. She sees
The girl giggles, "It looks like we got a new form."
She then changes to an eager look, "Then let's see what this new body can do."
The new form begin to fly up to Princess with a determined look on her face.
Princess has just about had it, and shouts, "Oh no you don't!"
Princess then controls the robot and try to hit the girl with the chain saws and lasers. Just then the new girl changes her form into a falcon and dodges the attacks like they are in slow motion. The girl then turns into a long python and tie the legs together so she will fall over. Finally the girl transform into a bull and charges at the robot.
Seeing this, Princess slowly replies, "Okay we can call that a draw."
Sadly, the girl nots the robot and sends the head containing Princess flying far away from the forest. Specifically back to her mansion on the other side of town. When the robot destroyed and Princess gone, the girls changes back to the original form.
Blossom and Buttercup cheer, "Alright!"
The new girls then make a loud call around the area and all the animals appear at the forest. The new girl talks to the animals on what needs to be done in order to restore the forest. The animals understands and begin to work fixing the forest.
Later in the evening, the girls explain to the professor about what has happened and Bubbles and Berry fused together. The professor is impressed by it and curious about the abilies.
"Sounds like you girls have quite a day," Professor Utonium complements.
"You should have seen it. They flew super fast, and change into animals to attack. Then they call the animals to help out," Buttercup explains, sounding excited.
Bubbles scratches her head, "New all we have to do is come up with a name for her."
"What do you think?" Blossom asks.
Berry thinks about it for a little bit, and a name has come up to her, "I think we should call that form… Bambi!"
"Bambi?" Bubbles questions at first.
But smiles, and says, "I like it."
Berry then turns to Bullet who is on the table, "What do you think?"
Bullet chatters with a smile on her face.
"She likes it," Bubbles and Berry happily reply.
Bullet then flies up and lands on Berry's head. Berry then hugs Bubbles and they start laughing with smiles on their faces. They sure have a crazy day, they fused together, have an interesting power, and communicate animals better when they're together.
