Last time on the Powerpuff League, Princess and Mike's souls return back to their bodies. But Mike reveals that Bane's sword should be destroyed. He explained how it is the "canal" which most of Bane's powers are channeled through. In the meantime, Bane fights off the Powerpuff Girls and Rowdyruff Boys. He separates them and decides to take out the two leaders first. Bane "shadow stitches" Blossom and Brick leaving their bodies in a stasis situation. However, Bubbles, Buttercup, Boomer, and Butch all face off Bane at once. They manage to push Bane around a bit and eventually came up to one point where they almost defeated him. But, Bane rises once more. Mojo fires his laser gun at Bane's back and causes him to drop his sword. The remaining Powerpuff Girls and Rowdyruff Boys fire their eye beams and optic blasts at the sword at once causing it to explode. Bane looks in fright as his sword is gone. Meanwhile, Blossom and Brick come out of their shadow stitched stasis and rejoin the battle to defeat Bane! How will this battle go? What will be the results? Find out for yourself...

Episode Ten: Apocalypse
Bane is surrounded by all six of the Powerpuff Girls and Rowdyruff Boys. Bane still looks confident as ever while his evil smile is smacked right on his face. Although Bane doesn't have his swallow or sword anymore, he feels that he could still fight. "Well, let me tell you one thing, not all my powers are limited by that weapon of mine," Bane said at last. "You see, that's only part of my powers... At least, part of my powers which DRAIN life!"
Bubbles looks at Bane with an angry face. "You meanie!" Bubbles yells. "If you haven't drained anybody's life, none of this will happen!"
Bane turns his head to look at Bubbles who was to his right. "Powerpuff Girl, everything has a fate, and I'm the fate of the future!" Bane said letting out an evil laugh.
"Crazy! Fate doesn't determine who is the future!" Blossom yells. Bane turns to look at Blossom who was behind him. "Fate is what determines an individual's life! Fate may determine the future by changing an individual's life but what you're saying won't happen!"
"And why wouldn't that happen?" Bane asks. "Is it because you're here?"
"That's right!" Buttercup answered. Bane turns his head to look at Buttercup. Buttercup continues, "We're here to stop you for good! That way, you can't harm the future lives of this world!"
"The lives belong to the people," Brick said. "The lives are what make the people," Brick continues. "If you think we're gonna ignore you and let you take away those lives, forget it! This world would be too stupid exist! There wouldn't be anything left!"
"Word!" Butch calls out. "Who would want the world to be owned by some wimp like you?"
Bane narrows his eyes at Butch.
"Well, one thing I know for sure is... YOU'RE GOING DOWN!!!" Boomer yells.
The six kids charge in at Bane. Bane quickly spins around and flies straight upward. The kids stop right before they would collide and fly straight up after Bane. Bane sees the kids flying behind him. He quickly stops and holds out both of his hands. Lightning bolts shoot out from both sending all but Brick back.
"This is how you use lightning!" Brick yells. He raises both of his hands and a large lightning beam comes crashing out of Brick's palms. Bane is struck and flies backward. Brick follows after in pursuit. Brick throws a volley of punches into Bane's face. Suddenly, a rock flies in front of Brick's fists preventing him from being able to assault Bane. Bane suddenly smashes the rock with Brick right behind it. The rock is sent flying to into the ground with Brick beneath. "I'll teach you to mess with me!" Bane yells. He raises his right hand and a rock appears above it. Right before Bane throws the rock, another rock hits it causing both to shatter. Bane turns his head to see Butch with a herd of floating rocks behind him.
"No, I'll teach you to mess with my leader!" Butch yells. He points his finger at Bane and the floating rocks instantly crash into Bane. Bane is struck back and forth. Bane regains his consciousness and uses his energetic force field to bounce off the rocks. As the rocks clear from his sight, he sees Butch flying at him at a rate unmentionable. Butch grabs hold of Bane's bandana and punches Bane straight in the gut. Bane screams out in pain. But before Butch can land another hit, Bane kicks Butch up the chin. Butch is sent upward, and Bane follows. Once Bane reaches up to Butch, he sees that Butch is ready to fight. The two buff battlers began exchanging punches and kicks to each other until Bane gains the upperhand. Bane sends Butch flying into the snow melted ground. Before Bane can fly down and attack Butch, five whirling blades come flying out of the air and slice Bane on each of his legs, arms, and his chest. Bane stops and looks to his left to see Boomer with his hands holding more whirling blades.
"You're gonna pay!" Boomer taunts. Boomer chucks his whirling blades at Bane. Bane quickly dodges them but little did he know that the whirling blades flew back and attack Bane straight on the back. Bane quickly looks at his back to see his cuts. Boomer takes this to his advantage and flies into to kick Bane right in the face. Bane is sent flying backwards and lands hard on the ground. Bane quickly gets up and fires multiple dark energy balls from his "palm." Boomer counters them with some more of his whirling blades. As the blades make contact with the energy balls, both disappear from splashes of water come out. Water blasted out of the air and falls on top of Bane. Bane quickly covers his head not to be hit by the falling water. After the water hits the ground, Bane sees that he is soaked. Boomer comes down to Bane and punches him backwards. Bane is then hit in the back by Brick. Brick unleashes a backwards roundhouse on Bane sending him towards Butch who back fists Bane high up into the air. Bane flies upward a bit and then falls and lands on the ground. Bane gets up slowly. "You boys are tough," Bane said rubbing his face.
"Of course we are!" Brick said.
"WE'RE THE ROWDYRUFF BOYS!!!" the Rowdyruff Boys say in unison.
* * *
Mike, Princess, and Mojo all watched in awe. They were simply surprised that the Rowdyruff Boys were able to attack Bane so effectively.
"That's my boys!" Mojo said cheering. Mojo jumps around in the air and kicks.
Princess looks at Mojo and then at Mike. "What's with him?" Princess asks.
Mike shrugs.
* * *
Bane stares at the Rowdyruff Boys with disgust. Without warning, Bane raises his hands and shoots at them an ice beam hoping to freeze them. But out of nowhere, another ice beam comes crashing down and knocks Bane's ice beam off into another direction. Bane and all the Rowdyruff Boys look up to see Bubbles. Bubbles stares eye to eye at Bane. "You meanie! I'm gonna kick your butt so hard you will never sit down again!" Bubbles taunts. Both Bane and Bubbles fly towards each other. Bubbles lands a hit on Bane's face first and then lands a kick in his stomach. Bane has the wind knocked out of him. Within a split second, Bubbles unleashes a devistating blow to the back. If Bane weren't a supernatural, his spine would have split in two! Bane lets out a scream for a second and turns around to knock Bubbles off her guard. Bubbles unleashes her Sonic Scream to repel Bane backwards. Bubbles fires her eye beams at Bane sending him backwards even faster.
As Bane flies backwards, he fires a large fiery blast towards Bubbles. Bubbles is pushed out of the way by Buttercup. Buttercup spins in her tornado and blocks the fiery blast. Buttercup continues to spin and the whirlwinds bring Bane back to where she is. Buttercup stops spinning and flies towards Bane to attack. Bane throws a kick but Buttercup blocks it. Buttercup counters by unleashing a punch straight into Bane's groin region. The Rowdyruff Boys wince at the overpowered force of the punch. Buttercup flips upwards and lands a drop kick right on Bane. Bane is sent flying down to the ground. Buttercup charges down after but Bane teleports right behind her. Bane back fists Buttercup out of the way. Buttercup heads straight towards the ground slightly from a different angle she was traveling in.
Before Bane could attack again, Blossom appears in front of him and hits him hard in the neck. Bane stops breathing for a second but regains himself. He sends a kick at Blossom who blocks it easily. Blossom then attacks with her new fire blast and Bane is sent burning and flying back towards the ground. Blossom flies over Bane and shoots her eye beams continuously down at Bane mercilessly. Bane screams in pain and teleports away. He reappears off in a distance. His clothes are somewhat ripped and burnt. Parts of his shoulder and chest are revealed. Bane is breathing heavily and hard. His hair is really messed up and pieces stick out. Bane narrows his eyes at Blossom. Suddenly, Bubbles and Buttercup fly up to Blossom's side. Then, the Rowdyruff Boys fly up ahead of the Powerpuff Girls. Bane's expression changes into fear.
The Powerpuff Girls move to their left and the Rowdyruff Boys move off to the right. Both trios then dart at the same time towards Bane. Bane couldn't react fast enough to dodge them. Instead, he is hit all around his body from all directions by the Powerpuff Girls and Rowdyruff Boys at the same time. He lets out a scream of tremendous pain into the air. Suddenly, a beam of black light shoots out of Bane. The light then materializes into what we know as the Death. Death raises up his scythe and looks down at Bane. Bane has on a terrified expression.
"Nooooo!!! I cannot die!" Bane calls out as the Powerpuff Girls and Rowdyruff Boys split off into different directions.
The scythe comes crashing down and hits Bane straight in the chest. The scyth goes throw and Bane screams out some more. His eyes widen as much as they can and so does his mouth. As the scythe is quickly removed from Bane's body, the Powerpuff Girls and Rowdyruff Boys all fire eye beams and optic blasts at Bane simultaneously. Bane's body disintegrates as Bane yells, "NNNOOOOOOOO!!! I'M IMMORTAL!!!"
* * *
Princess, Mike, and Mojo all watch the death of Bane arrive. They all have their jaws hung open and their hands and are dropped to their sides. They are all completely speechless as they watch Bane's dreadful body disappear from the six beams attacking him at once. They watch Bane being banished from their world...
* * *
The Powerpuff Girls and Rowdyruff Boys fall onto their backs. They were all breathing heavily and worn out. "Whoa, what a fight!" Blossom calls out.
"You've said it!" Brick replies.
"I hope that never happens again!" Bubbles said.
"You betcha!" Boomer adds.
"We really kicked his butt!" Buttercup says.
"You've said it!" Butch remarks.
Death suddenly hovers over their pooped bodies. His skull-like face seems to be smiling (I don't know how but just try to picture it) at them. "You've all done a great job!" Death said in an echoing voice. "The barrier is now back and balance is preserved!"
The Powerpuff Girls and Rowdyruff Boys smile weakly.
"Hey, Death sir," Blossom says.
"Death will due," Death said laughing a little.
"Yeah, Death. Well, how did you manage to all the sudden reappear?"
"Oh, you're wondering, aren't you?" Death echoes.
The Powerpuff Girls and Rowdyruff Boys nod their heads while lying on their backs.
"Well, let me explain..." Death started. "I have no soul nor do I have a body... This form what you see of me right now is only an illusion... You see, I only exist as a power, an energy source, and an entity... When Bane drained my powers, he drained me as well... Being only existent in power, I was completely taken in. Since I cannot act from inside him, the barrier was broken... I continued to try and break out of his body but I cannot do it. It was until you boys and girls weakened him when I was able to escape..."
The Powerpuff Girls and Rowdyruff Boys push themselves up so that they were sitting on the ground.
"And for some more great news," Death started again, "the powers of the guardians have returned! The balance is back!"
The Powerpuff Girls and Rowdyruff Boys jump up into the air to cheer, "YAHOO!!!"
All of the sudden, a dark beam of light shot out through the ground a little bit away from the Powerpuff Girls, Rowdyruff Boys, Death, Princess, Mike, and Mojo. The beam headed straight up past the clouds. Then, smaller beams of light shot down at the ground. Death drops his scythe to the ground. "I was afraid this would happen..." Death murmurs.
"What do you mean?" Bubbles asks.
Death hesitates for a second and begins, "When Bane took over HIM, he also took over role of guardian the underworld. Bane had control of the underworld which enabled him to use all darkness in the world to his desire. However, now that he's guardian AND part of the underworld, his powers regarding the underworld are limitless. He'll no doubt try and break the barrier... His soul has become the most devistating thing ever..."
Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup all look at each other in concern. Buttercup turns to face Death. "Hey, Death, what does that mean?"
"That means," Death continues, "that Bane's soul will destroy this world's balance once again..."
"How can we stop him?" Brick asks. "He's dead now..."
"There's only one way to stop him..." Death answers, "and that one way to stop him is for your souls to battle him underneath..."
"Does that mean we have to die?" Boomer asks letting out tears.
"I'll help you out for that," Death said picking up his scythe. "Don't worry, I'm the guardian of the souls... I can release your souls once you've taken care of him..."
"Then, it that case! I'm in!" Butch yells. He turns around and looks at his brothers and the Powerpuff Girls. "Well, what about you guys?"
Boomer begans to ponder for a second. Brick raises his hand and says, "I'm in!"
Boomer reluctantly raises his hand, too. "M-me, too!"
* * *
"Noooo!!! Does that mean they have to die, too?" Mojo screams. "If they die, then, I, Mojo Jojo, will be without them!"
Princess and Mike hold onto each other and cry a bit. "I don't wanna lose my friends!" Mike cries. Princess just sobs and wipes her nose on Mike's orange shirt.
* * *
The Powerpuff Girls look at each other in uncertainty. "I don't wanna die, yet," Bubbles whimpers. Buttercup shakes her head and holds her hands close to her face. Blossom just looks down at her feet. Suddenly, Blossom looks up as if she has an idea. She turns to Death. "Hey, Death, since you can release souls, bring back Bane's soul so he wouldn't be so powerful!"
"Yeah! That would be a great idea!" Brick said.
"Then we can kick his butt again!" Boomer yells.
"Not to mention pounding him!" Butch snickers.
Death shakes his head (uh... skull). "I'm afraid I can't do that," Death explains. "You see, his body is completely gone. In order for me to return souls, their corpses must be present, too..."
Blossom drops her head. "Then I guess we have no choice..." Blossom murmurs. "But I don't wanna die..."
Brick walks over to Blossom and places a hand on her shoulder. "Look, Blossom," Brick said, "if we don't let him take our souls to the underworld right now, we will die anyway from Bane's destructive force... Either way, we'll end up in the same place. We'll have to save the world anyway."
Blossom looks up at Brick. "Since when were you not so rotten?" Blossom asked.
"Look, we're usually rotten when it comes to normal life but if some fool's trying to take away people's lives, we can't be so rotten," Brick said. "C'mon, Blossom, help us out!"
Blossom looks at her sisters. They all nod. Blossom turns to Brick. "We'll do it!" she said with a smile. She looks at Death. "We're in, too!" Blossom yells.
Mike, Princess, and Mojo walk over. "What about us?" Princess asks. "We can't just sit here!"
Death turns to face the odd trio. "You three can look over their bodies as they fight in the underworld," Death said. "After all, they cannot return without their bodies..."
Mike, Princess, and Mojo all nod.
Death turns back to the Powerpuff Girls and Rowdyruff Boys. "Get ready because it's a long ride!" Death said. The Powerpuff Girls and Rowdyruff Boys close their eyes as Death's scythe sends their souls into the darkness of the underworld...

Having defeated Bane, the Powerpuff Girls and Rowdyruff Boys made a minor victory. Bane's soul continues to threaten the mortal world from underneath.
