Rating: PG-13 at the moment.

Disclaimer: I don't own the Powerpuff Girls, I'm just using them for this fanfiction, written for fun.

Chapter 2: Sacrifice and Division

A/N:

Hairy Gregory: Thanks for the kind review there, and I'll try to live up to your expectations.

Steve: I'll try not to be too offensive. However I have had an e-mail already from someone saying I must be anti-semetic for an alliance of Muslim nations to wage war on Israel (Yom Kippur War…1973?) and another e-mail saying that I must hate white people because the White Supremacists lost a race war. So, I guess I'll offend some folks however I go, just hopefully not you.

Okay…story time?

"And word has reached TN (Townsville News) that Israeli Defense Forces are on the run as Alliance tanks continue pushing inward towards the major population centers," droned the Newscaster, in such a bored voice as only a professional can manage when speaking of death.

"I can't believe it," muttered Blossom," We're just writing off one of our biggest allies? This isn't right!"

"Unfortunately dear," said the Professor grimly," we have to consider our own national security…"

"Our national security," yelled Blossom, cutting him off," We had a civil war! Millions died! This wouldn't happen in the Soviet Union, there they know how to handle people who would endanger others!"

"But they lack the freedom we have," began the Professor.

"Still, at least they don't have wars erupting over race, spirituality, and they don't write off their own allies," huffed Blossom angrily.

Professor Utonium studied his girls. They were seventeen now, and had seen so much in their lives. It was bad enough when they were little and fought all the monsters that plagued Townsville, but they had changed. Because of the Hate War, they had changed for the worse in his opinion.

Blossom for one, had lost most of her idealism, her zeal for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. She had become hardened, despising her government for making her kill others, despising it for letting a civil war occur. Over the past month she had seem more and more drawn towards the ideals of the Soviet Union.

Buttercup had lost her want for fighting. She had killed more than a few hundred people during the two years the nation had been fighting, and carried a haunted aura around her. She tried to hide her pain, yet he could still see it clearly. She had studied Islam recently, and thought it horrible the wise and peaceful leaders of an alliance who's religion stood for peace had been deposed by a more militant generation. Secretly, he thought she might one day try to install more peaceful leaders back to its head.

Bubbles, remained Bubbles, more or less. She had gone through depression during the Hate War. She had nearly taken a duranium blade to her wrist during the trial of the Powerpuff Girls for their murder of two thousand innocents during an engagement. Since then she seemed to have recovered, and was watching the television with a child like innocence.

"You know," Blossom continued," Premier Trotsky isn't that bad a guy. He's let the citizens have more freedom than in the past, but not so much as to have a revolt!"

"How would you know how bad a guy he is Bloss," asked Buttercup," It's not like you met him."

"Well maybe I did," countered Blossom angrily.

"Blossom," said the Professor disapprovingly," you shouldn't fly over the Soviet Union. They have duranium shrapnel missiles, what if they had decided to shoot you down? Or even worse, what if your over flight provoked a war?"

"It wouldn't have provoked a war Professor," shouted Blossom," I was invited!"

Everyone paused to contemplate that meant. In the eerie silence that was permeating the background the news reporter's voice of professionalism cracked, and was replaced by shock," The Israeli Defense Forces have been overrun, the Palestinian groups have seized control of the major cities, and the Knesset Building, with all of Israel's Parliament in session, was just destroyed under concerted RPG assault. As a result Israel has fallen and is being renamed, Palestine."

A/N: Well, that's just to set up events. As you can see, the Powerpuffs were badly affected by the fact they had to kill through two years of fighting, and that Blossom has been to the Soviet Union before. Israel has been defeated, written off as a sacrifice by her allies in NATO because they would rather have a few million deaths, than over possibly a billion.
