Flying above Townsville, the girls began to go over the beach. And it was the oddest sight since...

"The beach is totally empty!" Buttercup said.

"Look!" Bubbles said, pointing to a rather large footprint.

"Hey, don't I recognize that footprint?" Blossom asked.

"Duh. It's HUGE!" Buttercup, of course.

"Well girls, stopping him this time won't be a day at the beach!" Blossom told them.

"Go girls, go!"

The girls sped into Townsville, following the footprints. It wasn't long until they could see the big orange beast. After all, it's about as tall as the tallest buildings in Townsville. Bubbles, of course, sped up ahead in an attempt to get rid of it like she did last time.

Flying up in front, it opened its mouth and let out a colossal roar. Bubbles suddenly got a good look at its expression. It wasn't quite right. Suddenly, it whacked her and she made a hole in the street.

"Bubbles!"

Bubbles, rubbing her head, pulled herself out. "I'm okay..." She flew up to her sisters. "But the monster, it's different."

Blossom observed how it seemed, if not bigger, most definitely badder. "I don't get it. Any bright ideas, girls?"

Buttercup crossed her arms. First of all, none of Blossom's bright ideas worked, and secondly, her muscle didn't work last time either. They didn't have much. "Well, let's try and hit it from far away!"

"Good idea, Buttercup!" Blossom said enthusiastically. "Let's do it!"

The girls sped toward the monster. Dodging the top of a building, their eyes turned red and began to shoot laser beams at the monster. But it's thick, orange skin prevented the attack from hurting it.

"Girls, Starburst Formation!" Coming together, they shot beams from their hands to form one large beam that hit the monster in the back. The beast groaned and turned as the Powerpuffs' attack continued. It walked toward them, their beam now right on it's stomach. Although it must've hurt a little, it wasn't enough as it swatted them all like flies and they smashed into the ground.

"Awww... Paradise Lost?" said a voice.

"I should've known," Blossom said, her eyes squinted. "Come out from where you're hiding, Him!"

He appeared behind them, appearing to be laying on something but there was nothing under him. "It seems you can't win. Are the girls finally defeated? Of course, I'd take over your minds just to get the satisfaction of hearing you say "Yes", but there are other ways to have fun!"

The girls, stunned, had no choice but to speed home.

"Are you sure you don't need anything?" asked Professor Oxide.

"No, I'm sure!" Beth answered. She sat by herself in bed, all cuddled up. And boy, since she got home she was exhausted. Unfortunately, her body still was full of energy and she could neither sleep nor do anything. If any Sandman existed he wasn't here right now, she thought to herself.

After changing her position countless times, she pulled herself from bed and walked into the bathroom. Standing on a small stool to reach the sink, she turned the water on, made her hands wet a little, and rubbed her eyes. Suddenly, the stool wobbled, and she slipped! She braced herself for a fall on the tiles, but nothing came. Opening her eyes, she suddenly realized that she was floating! Rubbing her eyes more, she made sure that she wasn't on the ground. Then she turned to the stool. She picked it up, easily! The kindergartener had never felt so alive; she was tired no more! She zoomed downstairs to show her dad.

"Oh daddy look! I can fly!"

"How on Earth--"

"Him took over the monster and now it won't leave like it did last time," Blossom explained.

"There must be a way!" Professor said. He could become PowerProf again, but memories of the first time were crystal clear in his mind. There was only one option left...

"Dynamo."
