Last time, on the Powerpuff League, we learned that Professor Utonium is trying his best to create the formula for Blossom. In the meantime, Princess goes into a one-on-one battle with the IceWolf. Soon after, Brick, Mike, and Tiger join Princess in the fight. Blossom, Boomer, and Butch, who were looking for Brick earlier, find Brick and Mike flying by. They follow the them but only to face the IceWolf and the Efreet! Princess, Brick, and Mike take on the IceWolf while Blossom, Boomer, and Butch take on the Efreet. Bane watches from HIM's lair as the six kids continue to fight. In the meantime, a darkish hole is forming on the shores of Townsville. Nothing more is known. Mojo finishes packing his vehicle into an air ship and he heads straight towards the IceWolf and Efreet. Blossom, Boomer, and Butch take out the Efreet and join Princess, Brick, and Mike to fight against the IceWolf. But before they could react, Bane shoots them back and then steals the IceWolf's powers. Bane quickly does the same for the Efreet. Now, more powerful than ever, Bane faces the six kids. What will be the outcome? And why is the darkish hole growing bigger? Find out on Episode Six: The Death!

Episode Six: The Death
Mojo watches from his telescope the actions of what Bane had done with the IceWolf and Efreet. Mojo witnessed the attack on the six kids from Bane. "Boys... please be alright," Mojo said outloud.
Mojo presses a few buttons from inside of his flying ship. The rocket launchers are ready to launch. "I, Mojo Jojo, may not have helped in the battle between the monsters, which the Powerpuff Girls and Rowdyruff Boys have defeated, but I, Mojo Jojo, will help in this battle because I have not helped in the other battle!" Mojo said as he pressed some more buttons. More guns and cannons appeared. "Prepare yourself, for the power of the Mojo Express!"

Blossom was standing next to Brick and Mike in the snow. Boomer and Butch were standing next to each other. Tiger was close to Princess. They were all looking up at Bane waiting for his first move. Suddenly, Blossom's pager beeps.
"It's the Professor! He's done it!" Blossom cries happily.
"Done what?" Mike asks.
"He's created a formula to make me more powerful so I can help save my sisters!" Blossom said.
Mike suddenly realizes that Bubbles and Buttercup wasn't there (real observant, Mike). "Where are they?"
"They were captured by Bane!" Blossom said as she lifted to fly off into a direction. "Now, if you'll excuse me..."
"No so fast, Blossom!" Bane yells. He flies into Blossom's path. "Do you really think I'd let you grow stronger to beat me?"
Blossom was stunned. She was a bit frightened, too.
"I won't let you go, even if you were my queen!" Bane said.
"Oh, shut up about that already!" Blossom yells. "It's really embarrassing!"
Bane simply laughs. "Nobody gives me orders!" he says. Bane flies at Blossom and grabs her neck. "Not even you!" Bane said as he strangled Blossom a bit. She then threw her to the ground causing her to slide a few feet in the snow (it's still present on the ground).
Boomer, Butch, and Mike went to aid Blossom and helped her get back onto her feet. The three boys then glare at Bane. "What's the matter? Too scared to fight?" Bane taunts them.
"I ain't scared!" Butch yells as he darts at Bane. Butch throws a punch while Bane dodges. Bane kicks Butch right in the back sending Butch sliding into the snow. Bane lifts his free hand and points at Butch. He fires a fireball which hits Butch straight on the back. Butch screams as he flies straight up into the air spinning around hoping to get the flames off his clothes.
Boomer charges in on Bane and throws a round house kick to Bane's head. Bane ducks goes behind Boomer. Bane slashes Boomer's back and then punches Boomer in his shoulder blade region. Boomer falls spinning off. Bane looks at Mike. "I suppose you're next..." Bane said. He looked awfully serious. Mike let go of Blossom and walked forward a few steps.
"Let's bring it on!" Mike said. "Tiger! Water element form!" he yells. Tiger hops in front of Mike and changes into a transparent blue color. "Let's double team him!" Mike said. The boy and the fox charge at Bane. Bane tries to slash Tiger but the swallow's blade went through it. Mike goes behind Bane and pulls his hand back ready to punch. Just before Mike was about to land a punch of Bane, Bane disappeared and reappeared behind Mike. Bane smashes Mike's head with a back fist sending Mike off in one direction. Bane then focused on Tiger. He lifted his free hand and shot an ice beam at Tiger freezing the water which was its body currently.
"Mike!" Brick yells. He flies past Blossom in a raging speed. Brick manages to land a kick on Bane's chest. However, Bane didn't even move. "What the? You weren't this strong before!" Brick yells. Bane grabs Brick's leg and spins around in a circle. Bane lets go and Brick goes flying into the air. Bane lifts his free hand and shoots a bolt of lightning at Brick shocking him. Brick screamed in pain and fell to the ground. Still conscious, Brick muttered in his breath, "You jerk!"
Blossom attempts to fly off again but Bane blockers her path once more. He has a sly grin on his face.

The Mayor and Ms. Bellum are still in the city hall's office. The Mayor is pacing back and forth. "What to do, what to do..." was all the Mayor said. Ms. Bellum was on the phone. She slammed down the receiver.
"Mayor, the police won't even dare to get near the area," Ms. Bellum said. "At least, the monsters are gone."
The Mayor jumped up into the air. "B'wah! But the city is half destroyed! And it's covered in snow, too!"
"I know, Mayor," Ms. Bellum said.
"I'm ruined," cried the Mayor.

The scythe in the darkish hole continued to emerge. It was a pretty large scythe with a long blade and a long handle. A large figure was seen holding the scythe. It was a dark figure. He had on dark robes and a dark sash. It lifted its head and a skull was seen for the face. As soon as the figure completely came out of the hole, a blackish light shot up straight into the air. The figure raised the scythe high into the air with both hands.
"The balance is gone," the figure said in an echoing voice. "I, Death, will restore this balance."
Death, the darkish figure, fly up into the air. Death paused for a moment and then flew towards the sight where Bane and the kids were fighting.

Professor Utonium was standing outside of his house holding a large needle in his hand. He looked very impatient for Blossom to arrive. He had on a large frown on his face.
"Blossom should be here by now!" Professor Utonium said. "What's taking her?"
* * *
Blossom stares Bane eye to eye. Blossom had on an angry look on her face. Bane was smirking. They were standing in the snow and were quite a distance away. They were both ready to fight. "Before we go on," Blossom said breaking the silence, "answer me a few questions."
"Sure, go ahead," Bane said in his evil voice.
"Why did you capture both of my sisters but not me?" Blossom asked. She sounded dead serious.
"Why? Because if you three are together, you could very well overwhelm me. Isn't it ironic hearing that from me?" Bane said and laughed.
"Alrighty then, next question!" Blossom yells. "Why do you want me to be your queen?" Blossom slightly blushes as she said that.
"Why?" Bane started. "Because I admire you. You have lots of guts! And if combined with my power, we could rule this world together!"
"I don't get it, why do you guys always want to rule the world?" Blossom yells. "You are always greedy and power hungry! You can't live with yourselves unless you have everything! Greed is the fault of life. If there wasn't greed, there wouldn't be any trouble! There wouldn't be YOU!!!"
Bane's smile turns into a serious frown. "You don't like it? Fine! I do whatever I please. And that MEANS everything I do!" he said fiercely.
Suddenly, without warning, Death flies over and casts a big shadow that covers the two fighters. Blossom is shocked to see Death and so is Bane. Death is seen with his skull face under the hood of his dark robe. He carries the scythe on his shoulder. Death is still floating in midair. Death raises his free hand and points at Bane with his skeleton-like fingers. "You..." Death echoes. "You are the disturbance in the balance of life!"
"So what? This world will be mine anyway!" Bane said.
"This world belongs to no one in particular! It belongs to EVERYONE!!!" Death echoed. "You, however, have taken the guardians of this world away!"
"The guardians?" Bane wondered. "You mean the four monsters I summoned earlier?"
"CORRECT!!!" Death yelled. "HIM knew that if he summoned the guardians and if they had died, the forces of balance will be destroyed. HIM didn't summon them since he knew the consequences! You, however, have taken the life of ALL the four guardians!"
"So what? What can they do?" Bane said.
"The guardians are kept to preserve the world in one piece. If one guardian dies, that part of the world will also be destroyed!" Death echoes. "But you've taken away ALL FOUR GUARDIANS!!! The world may be destroyed now because of you!"
"I don't get it. Nothing's happening," Bane said crossing his arms.
"Of course you don't. Once the guardians die, their spirits enter the underworld. There, they will strike harvoc to release themselves back into the real world. If they do that and break the barrier, all those that have died will return back into this world! ALL BALANCE WILL BE LOST!!!" Death calls. He points at Bane. "If you haven't drained their lifeforce, this world would still be whole!"
"Then why aren't they breaking out the barrier now?" Bane said sounding amused.
"Because I AM THE BARRIER!!!" Death said. "But I can only hold them for so long since my power cannot match theirs! I hold together all the souls of the world but since the souls of the guardians are much stronger, THE BARRIER WILL BE BROKEN!!!"
Bane simply smirks. "And what are you going to do about it?"
"Me? I will take your life away and release their powers. Since YOU have their powers sealed, I must destroy you. Then, I'll release the guardians' souls so they can be free and the world will be saved!" Death explained.
"Is that so? You really think you can beat me?" Bane said. He uncrosses his arms and readies his swallow. "I'll challenge you!"
"This is no challenge," Death echoes. "You must be finished once and for all!" Death swings his excessively large scythe at Bane. Bane holds up the scythe's tip with his swallow.
"Oh yeah, well, I think I'll FINISH YOU!!!" Bane said.

Blossom snuck around and flew off during the conversation between Bane and Death. She flew towards her house as fast she as could. She broke the sound barrier and left behind a sonic boom. Arriving at Utonium's house, Blossom looks at the impatient Utonium.
"About time, Blossom. Quick, let's get it done!" the Professor said. He injects the needle into Blossom's arm as she looks away. As the liquid enters Blossom, she begins to glow pink. The Professor removes the needle and pockets it. "There," he said.
"Whoa! What's going on?" Blossom said. The pink glow around her went into her body. "I feel... much... more energetic!" Blossom flies up into the air and shoots an eye beam at a tree. The tree explodes on contact.
"Now, Blossom, go get your sisters away from that monster named Bane!" Professor Utonium said.
"Bane's not with Bubbles and Buttercup anymore! He's out and around!" Blossom said.
"Holy smokes!" gasps the Professor. "Then, you better take care of him! Why, I'm going back in and create the formulas for the other two girls! Blossom, GO GET BANE!!!" The Professor runs into the house.
"Yessir!" Blossom said salutely when the Professor was out of view. She turns around. "Bane, you're done for!"
* * *
Princess, who was hiding before, begins to wake up Brick, Boomer, Butch, Mike, and Tiger which are now behind a large rock. Princess dragged them there earlier. "Oh... what am I to do?" Princess worried. She looked up into the sky and saw the large flying ship heading towards Bane and Death who continued to fight.
Mojo had a serious look of determination on his face. He was in a perfect firing range. Mojo had witnessed the fight between his boys and Bane and is seriously ticked off from it. "Why, I'LL GET YOU!!!" Mojo screamed in rage. He presses lots of buttons and missiles go flying at Bane and Death's direction.
Since Death was a LOT larger than Bane, he took all the shots. Death cried in a bit of pain. Bane took this as an advantage to strike Death. Bane flew up to Death's scythe and sliced the staff part off in half. He then flew up to Death's skull and jammed his swallow inside. Death's powers were being sucked away into Bane. Darkish light flowed from Death's body into Bane's. Bane decided to take away Death's lifeforce and does so very quickly. Death suddenly fades away into nothingness and Bane was seen with his swallow sticking in midair. A dark glow was around Bane's body.
"CURSES!!!" Mojo yelled. "I WAS SUPPOSED TO HIT HIM, NOT BIG UGLY GRIM REAPER WHO GOT IN THE WAY OF MY MISSILES THAT WERE SUPPOSED TO HIT HIM. BUT SINCE THE MISSILES DIDN'T HIT HIM, HE IS STILL ALIVE!!!" Mojo turns to his control panel and presses more buttons. Another set of missiles are fired at Bane.
Bane sees the missiles coming. He launches darkish energies and destroy each one that was launched. Bane smirks as he uses his new powers. "I am the ultimate being NOW!!!" Bane yells.
* * *
The shores where the dark hole was created another dark hole. The souls of many people are seen to escape. Zombies and skeletons rose out of the ground in the city of Townsville. The soul of the ThunderSnake reentered the snake. The soul of the Efreet reentered the creature. The soul of the Titan have reentered its body. The soul of the IceWolf have reentered its body. And since Death had faded away, Death had no resurrected. The four guardians quickly fleed since they lacked their powers. The barrier which Death mentioned was broken and the souls of dead people entered the world. All balance was lost...
* * *
What will happen to Mojo against Bane? Will Princess ever wake up the other kids? What is going to happen to Bubbles and Buttercup? Will the Professor be able to make new formulas for them in time? Will Blossom be able to defeat Bane with her new powers? Find out next time, on the Powerpuff League!
