CHAPTER THREE: SECOND CHANCES AND FAREWELLS
Mojo is scanning the sky using his giant telescope when he spots the approaching DyNaMo.
"Incoming!" he shouts and points. "Boys, the girls have a battle robot this time. No doubt built
by the Professor. As if he could outmatch my genius at building super robots, HA!"
Brick uses his super vision to spot and X-Ray DyNaMo. "I see it has a liquid nitrogen cooling
system. Perhaps if it were to start leaking..."
"Yes," Mojo gloats. "Excellent, overheat the dratted thing and BOOM!" He makes an explosive
motion with his hands.
Boomer and Butch are about to speak when another explosive motion rocks the lab! The girls
have opened fire using one of DyNaMo's arm rockets!
Mojo shrieks, "WELL, GET BUSY!" and points stiffly outside!
The RowdyRuff Boys take the air and encircle DyNaMo. Inside the girls have prepared
themselves and are arming DyNaMo's entire defensive arsenal. From outside the RowdyRuffs see
DyNaMo's arms and legs open up to expose numerous missiles and guns!
Butch puts his hands together under his chin and sarcastically addresses the robot like a
sassy Southern Belle, "All that for little ol' us? We're flattered!"
Brick and Boomer laugh, but don't get the satisfaction of finishing because DyNaMo opens fire
with her first volley of missles. The girls laugh as they score a direct hit! Butch, seeing his
brothers go down, at least temporarily, seizes the opportunity and zips up to tag DyNaMo with a
right cross! DyNaMo falls backwards several city blocks and goes down!
Inside, Blossom is concerned, "Quick, let's get to open countryside, I don't want a repeat of
last time!"
Bubbles and Buttercup agree and quickly get DyNaMo back into the air!
Outside Brick and Boomer have recovered from the missile blast noting that it hardly tickled!
Butch wants another shot at the retreating robot and proceeds to follow. Brick and Boomer want
to show they can give as well as receive and attack DyNaMo on the run, raking the robot's back
and legs with their laser beams. They succeed and create several scarred lines of damage!
DyNaMo slows slightly as smoke begins to waft out of her side cooling vents.
Inside Bubbles is dealing with the damage, "Secondary cooling systems on line and
functioning. Primary systems operating at 30 percent. We should be OK if we can avoid more
damage."
Buttercup, "Yeah, like that'll happen!" She frowns and pushes a control lever. "Watch, this
should slow them down." Buttercup peers into her viewscreen,"Blossom set us down near that
swamp, OK?"
The RowdyRuffs are in hot pursuit but pull up short when Blossom lands DyNaMo like Buttercup
asked. Immediately afterwards the pigtails on the side of DyNaMo's head detach, ignite like
rockets, and head straight for the surprised RowdyRuffs! Before they can react the pigtails
connect with each other using a sophisticated flexible beam of light, and like a bola they
swiftly encircle their target and detonate. The RowdyRuffs lose their power of flight
momentarily and plummet straight into the swamp!
The PowerPuffs high-five each other in triumph! "Oh, yeah, take that! We're bad, you're sad!"
Down in the swamp the RowdyRuffs are shaking off the pigtail attack. Brick is furious! "See
that hairbow on the head? Rip it off and wreck that thing, beat it to pieces!" Butch and Boomer
angle towards DyNaMo's head from opposite directions while Brick floats in front as a
distraction.
The PowerPuff Girls are not caught unawares and try to counter the attack. They use DyNaMo's
massive eyes which are actually high powered lasers to fend off Butch and Boomer. The eyes fire
but miss as the boys swerve at the last moment. Brick plants a kick just below DyNaMo's chin
popping open an engineering access hatch in the process!
On DyNaMo's bridge there are more lights flashing than any ten Christmas trees should have!
Bubbles quickly tells Blossom, "Engineering access hatch is breached, they could enter from
below!" Blossom tries to answer but is silenced by a violent shudder and loud wrenching sound.
Butch and Boomer have succeeded in tearing the hairbow from DyNaMo's head. Now the battle turns
in favor of the RowdyRuffs as they proceed to dent, pound, and spear DyNaMo with the metallic
hairbow halves!
Blossom orders, "Evasive action!" As DyNaMo rockets away Brick makes a tossing motion towards
the retreating robot. Nodding, they each draw back with the hairbow halves and throw them
towards DyNaMo. Both score a direct hit piercing the skin of the robot and penetrating all the
way through! The Engineering Deck is in shambles, critical controls and safeties are smashed
and now non-operational. DyNaMo is damaged to the point where she can't maintain flight, loses
control, and slams sideways into the swamp below! The impact knocks the girls about but they
hang on.
DyNaMo has severe damage. The RowdyRuffs have caused massive leaks in the power core, liquid
nitrogen coolant is leaking and the internal core temperature is rising. Total hydraulic failure
is imminent due to fluid loss in the battle. DyNaMo is dead in the water and on a countdown to
detonation. Lethal tendrils of electric arcs and sparks fill the control cockpit like so many
poisonous snakes.
Brick commands, "Let's end this!" as he enters the Engineering hatch with his brothers. They
are directly below the cockpit and from there they focus their heat vision on the ceiling and
thusly give the girls a rather warm surprise from below!
"OW, my hiney is roasting!" Bubbles exclaims.
"Mine too!" says Blossom.
Buttercup yelps and leaps from her seat, her skirt smoldering. "OW, fry my fanny, will they?
They are going to pay!" She pulls off the Engineering Deck access hatch with her right hand and
hollers to the RowdyRuff Boys "INCOMING!" and drops through the hole! Bubbles quickly follows,
"WAIT, you'll need help!"
From below Blossom can hear pounding and male and female voices yelling at each other! She
knows her sisters are putting up a brave fight! She moves to join them when DyNaMo's interface
begins talking. Her CPU damaged beyond repair DyNaMo begins a random chatter of nonsensical
utterances..."DANGER WILL ROBINSON, Kiss my shiny metal...Houston, the Eagle has landed...a day
which will live in infamy, read my lips, NO more taxes...and then she seems to regain her
composure...Blossom, will I dream?"
Leader Girl is clearly not ready for that question but she responds as best she can,
"I...don't know, I'd like to think so DyNaMo."
"I understaaaaannnnnd, gooo nowwww exploshunn immminaaaaaannnt."
Blossom shouts a warning through the hatch to her battling sisters, "Girls let's BOOGEY!
She's gonna blow!" The RowdyRuffs hear this also, slam Bubbles and Buttercup against the walls
for good measure, and leave DyNaMo in a hurried flash!
DyNaMo's female voice responds one last time, "Bye girls," slight pause, "Tha Tha Tha That's
all folks!"
As the RowdyRuffs gloat and wait high above they witness a massive white hot explosion,
blinding in its intensity and deafing with its detonation! Pieces of DyNaMo fan out in all
directions, no doubt to find their way to numerous E-Bay auctions.
They see nobody leave and they are ecstatic!
"ALL RIGHT, Charbroiled PowerPuffs!"
"Yeah, Well done if ya ask me!"
"Let's go tell Mojo!
Unknown to the RowdyRuff Boys the girls exit through an emergency hatch that is on the
opposite side of DyNaMo. Unseen from there they escape out the swamp through the city drainage
system.
Blossom is wet, sore and mad, "They're going to To Mojo's mountain!" Bubbles and Buttercup
look like they've put up a brave fight as they are bruised and bleeding. They acknowledge
Blossom and all three quickly take to the air in pursuit.
-------
Meanwhile, back at the Utonium chateau Bunny and the Professor hear DyNaMo's destruction.
The Professor notices DyNamo's telemetry readings disappear from a monitoring screen. Both have
concerned looks on their faces. Bunny leaves the examining table, flys upstairs, out the kitchen
patio door, and stops just above rooftop level. She scans almost 360 degrees until she spots the
place where DyNaMo exploded. By this time Professor Utonium has raced upstairs and is outside
trying to locate her.
"Bunny, don't go! Your sisters can handle it. I need to finish your exam."
"Sorry Professor, they created me for help and that's what they're going to get." She waves
bye to the Professor and streaks off in a purple flash!
The Professor cups his hands around his mouth and hollers up to her, "Be careful, you're
inexperienced." His voice trails off and he stands there with a worried look on his face as
Bunny vanishes in the distance. Suddenly, he snaps his fingers in remembrance, "I have to make
a phone call for Blossom."
-------
Across town a phone begins to ring and we see an elderly grandmother answer. Her voice is
trembling with age and she speaks slowly, "Yess, Hello."
"Madam, this is Professor John Utonium, Is your grandson there, it's urgent!"
"Slow down young feller, just a minute now."
Just as Granny is about to turn she is interrupted by a second person, a male with blonde
hair. He takes the phone from her gently as she speaks, "It's for you boy."
The blonde man picks up the phone, "Hello, who is this?"
"This is Professor John Utonium, creator and father of the PowerPuff Girls. Do you understand?"
"We've met, go on."
The Professor finishes, "One of my girls thinks you'd like a second chance, would you?"
The blonde man enthusiastically answers, "Boy mister, would I, you bet!"
"Good, glad to hear it, Go to Mojo Jojo's mountain and from there you'll know what to do."
"Thanks, I'm on my way." He hangs up the phone, "Gotta go grandma, duty calls."
She answers, "Who calls?" There is no answer as the blonde man has already left.
-------
The RowdyRuffs are talking amongst themselves about the recent battle. Boomer comments, "I
wonder who built that thing?"
Butch, "Don't matter who built it, We UN-built it!" He gets a high five from Brick as a reward!
Brick is giddy, "Mojo will be so thrilled, I can't wait to tell him." He is about to speak
again when Boomer taps him on the shoulder. "Uh, Leader Dude" He motions backwards to the
pursuing PowerPuff Girls, "look there!" Brick and Butch look backwards with surprised faces and
stop in mid-flight, their anger obvious! They scream at the approaching girls, "You'll wish
you'd have stayed in the robot!"
At this point they are just outside Mojo's Mountain Lab. The Ruffs and Puffs pair off and
begin to battle again. The girls look a bit tired whereas the larger Ruffs aren't even exerting
themselves. Something has to even the odds if the girls are to survive!
Blossom and Brick circle each other looking for an opening. Just then Blossom sees over his
shoulder two buildings that present an opportunity she can't pass up. She fakes a body blow then
comes upwards with a powerful uppercut which sends Brick sailing towards the two buildings;
Townsville Adhesives and Greases and Townsville Mattress and Pillow Wholesalers. As quick as can
be he hurls backwards through the two buildings. When he lands on far side of the second
building he is covered in grease and feathers!
Blossom sees what happened and crows in triumph, "YEAH!" Brick returns to the fray looking
like a Civil War era carpetbagger that was tarred and feathered. His brothers take a brief
breather from the battle to tease him! The girls watch the exchange with curious expressions.
Butch, "Stay away from a fast food joint, they'll fry you up!"
Boomer, "Dude, you can already fly, you don't need feathers!"
Brick has had enough of his brothers teasing him and lets them know!
"If you two don't SHUT UP!"
"Aww, Leader Dude all mad!"
Boomer and Butch smirk at each other and decide to go for it. They lose control, and let the
laughter overtake them.
"BWA HA HAAA"
"He hee Ha Ha Hoo Ha"
Brick just crosses his arms in disgust and glares at his brothers.
Butch noticing the momentary lull in the action surprises Buttercup with an uppercut that
sends her sailing several blocks away! With this Blossom, Brick, Bubbles and Boomer pair off
again and resume their battle, this time wrestling in the dirt! Butch decides to follow
Buttercup for the finish.
Buttercup has landed on her back, but before she can regain her footing Butch moves forward
pressing the fight. Desperately Buttercup kicks up and catches him under the chin with a double
thrust from the hips that sends him over the roof towards the far side of Townsville.
He lands in the Townsville Water Sewage Treatment Plant...SPLUSH...EWWWWWWWW!
Buttercup mutters to herself, "The bigger they are...heh heh"
Butch returns to the battle looking absolutely awful. He doesn't smell that well either!
Brick and Boomer can't help but notice their aromatic brother and cover their noses!
Brick "Man, you're pungent!"
Boomer, "You smell like Pepe Le Pew!"
Butch, "I landed in a sewage treatement plant OK?" He angrily flicks his wet sleeves at his
brothers and stares daggers at them!
Brick and Boomer wave their hands in front of their faces. Their cheeks puff out, they try
not to laugh, but fail and bust out in hysterics landing on the ground kicking and screaming.
Again, the girls stare at the impromptu humor.
"BWA HA HAAA"
"He hee Ha Ha Hoo Ha"
After the laughter the battle resumes. The RowdyRuffs break off and enter Mojo's lab through
the skylight. Mojo has his back turned to them as he is fiddling with his latest Chemical X
machinery. He hears them land and quickly hides some papers before turning about.
"Well boys..."WHAT HAPPENED to you two?!" as he sees the feather covered Brick and smells the
reeking Butch. "Go find a carwash!" he adds!
Brick begins, "That brat Blossom knocked me through a couple buildings. Between the two I
came out looking like this." He opens his arms in resignation looking kinda like a certain San
Diego mascot.
Butch, "Yeah, and that witch Buttercup knocked me into a sewage tank!"
Mojo, "PHEW, but are they history, a footnote, an adios or sayonara sucker?"
Brick, "We damaged their girl-bot so bad it exploded." They all go, "BOO HOO HOO" and rub
their eyes in a mocking pantomine. "The girls still live, but they are weakened and are on the
way here!"
Before Mojo can respond the glass ceiling shatters from several different directions at once!
Standing there looking at each other in amazement are the PowerPuff Girls, Bunny, and the blonde
man; Major Man himself, wanting his second chance!
Mojo scowls at the unwelcome interruption and addresses the intruders one-by-one in rapid
fire fashion, "You, PowerPuff Girls, prepare to get your hineys whipped! You, big blonde awful
Elvis wanna-be, prepare to get YOUR hiney whipped! You, fourth purple PowerPuff, prepare to get
YOUR..." Mojo stops speaking in surprise when he realizes what he just said!
"WHAAAT, A FOURTH POWERPUFF! IT CANNOT BE, IT'S A RUSE, IT'S NOT TRUE!"
"Bunny corrects him, "Yes, it is true, you brought me back right after them." She points to
the RowdyRuffs. She looks at his lab and at him and innocently comments, "Boy, for an evil
genius you sure don't pay attention to details, huh?"
Mojo blows his stacks and yells at the RowdyRuffs, "AT THEM" he commands!
It is mass chaos and pandemonium as a battle royale begins! Both sides rush towards each
other flinging furniture and other breakables in an attempt to slow the other side down. Major
Man is the first to strike as he connects with Brick's face using a left hook. Brick promptly
sails to the other side of the lab, hits the wall, and slides woozily to the floor. His hat flys
off and lands behind a console.
Boomer seeing what happened to Brick leaves his fight with Bubbles to avenge his brother. He
hits Major Man with a right cross and sends him sailing into a computer console. "Take that
blondie!" he gloats. His smirky face is wiped clean as Bubbles returns and also hits Boomer with
a right cross, "Watch those blonde comments!" she warns!
Butch has had it in for Buttercup ever since their first encounter. He captures her when her
back is turned as she is getting up from a fall. He spins her around and gets her in a choke
hold from the front. Butch threatens her, "I'm taking you out and that's the name of that tune."
Buttercup's vision is beginning to blur, she looks around for help but her sisters are busy
fighting their own battles. She notices Butch's spread legged stance, her eyes widen, she grins
and asks Butch. "You (GASP) like tunes? Here's (GASP) one for ya." and lets fly with a solid
kick to his groin!
Butch's face shows immediate results and his pupils reduce to pinpoints as Buttercup's attack
hits home in a most personal level. He lets go and crashes to the ground. Buttercup, almost
unconscious from lack of air falls beside Brick and tells him, "That was my (GASP) tune, it's
called The (GASP) Nutcracker Suite, (GASP) it's a classic." Having now caught her breath she
stands up, and begins to walk away.
Butch however is gasping for breath in big gulps on all fours! Sweat is rolling down from his
forehead and he rolls over on his back and just stays there. His brothers, forgetting the
battle, zip to his side to comfort him.
Boomer asks intently, "Butch, you OK? What did she do?" He asks shooting a baleful look at
Buttercup a few yards away.
Brick has recovered, but has stopped looking for his hat due to the problem with Butch. He
angrily addresses Buttercup, "What did you DO?"
Buttercup responds, "I hit a male pressure point, he'll recover. I had no choice, DEAL with
it!" Blossom stares at the boys amazed that they can be so violent, and yet seem to care for
each other at the same time. This has her most befuddled!
Meanwhile, Mojo has seen his chance with the lull in the battle. Noticing the Chemical X
chamber open he makes a mad dash for Bunny, grabs her, tosses her in and starts the machine!
"THERE WILL BE NO FOURTH POWERPUFF" he bellows!
Bubbles, seeing Bunny is in immediate peril, enters the chamber to rescue Bunny. Bubbles
grabs her arm and heaves her out! Bunny flys out the door and lands in a heap. Before Bubbles
has a chance to leave the device fires and scores a direct bullseye on her. She screams, turns
transparent briefly, fades back to normal and collapses. She lies limp and is barely conscious.
Blossom and Buttercup are in shock, it's obvious that Bubbles ain't gonna make it. Bubbles is
slumped against the chamber door ala "The Wrath of Khan" ending and beginning to disappear
because the blast has caused her Chemical X molecules to unwind.
Mojo gleefully, "RIGHT ON, one down, three to go! TALK ABOUT CLOSURE! It is I, Mojo Jojo that
killed your koot wittle Bubbles" he says mockingly. "Remember that when you're old and gray!
Oh, what am I saying? Silly me, you won't LIVE THAT LONG!" he screams!
The RowdyRuff Boys watch Bubbles' sacrifice in utter amazement, it has never occurred to
them that someone could make such an enormous gesture without thought of repayment. Mojo would
never do such a thing for them! They look at each other with deep and thoughtful expressions,
"IS there more to life than violence and mayhem, perhaps there IS a better way?" Brick thinks,
"These girls seem to have so much and are so happy, why can't we be like that?"
Without warning Brick gives Mojo a swift roundhouse kick that sends him flying against Major
Man's chest! He rebounds off and into the nearest wall and hits the floor unconscious. The
impact loosens his cranial helmet and it skitters across the floor.
The sudden turn of battle takes everyone by surprise, "Remember THAT when YOU'RE old and
gray!" Brick mutters sarcastically.
Blossom and Buttercup together, "Whaaa?"
Bunny watches with intense curiosity and awareness, clearly she is expecting a doublecross.
She focuses on the RowdyRuff's emotions just to be safe.
Brick begins to explain as his brothers gather. They notice Major Man's hulking presence
behind them with slow upward glances. Major Man has earned his second chance having received a
black eye and a sock in the mouth during the fight. His face is puffy and he glares at the Ruffs
as if to say, "I'm not down and I'm not out!"
Brick begins, "Your sister's sacrifice was touching, it made us realize Mojo was using us to
hurt you. We don't like being used, we don't want to hurt anymore. We want to make up our own
minds"...he pauses a bit, "Would you take Mojo to jail for us? We have something we'd like to do
first then we'll turn ourselves in." With that his brothers shoot a look of puzzlement at him.
Brick finishes..."RowdyRuff's Honor." He looks at his brothers as if to say, "and that's
final!" Before any of the PowerPuff Girls can respond the RowdyRuff Boys fly away through the
roof's skylight.
Blossom, "Well, that was strange!" then slowly, "let's get Mojo to jail then go home, we have
to tell the Professor about Bubbles as soon as possible" she says with a choked, sad voice.
Bunny and Buttercup look dazed and in shock.
Major Man says dramatically, "Don't worry about Mojo, I'll take him directly to the waiting
arms of justice. Thanks for helping me make a real difference this time." He hesitates briefly
then says, "I'm sorry about your sister. For what it's worth, Bubbles died bravely." He then
flys out the skylight with Mojo in tow.
Mojo is scanning the sky using his giant telescope when he spots the approaching DyNaMo.
"Incoming!" he shouts and points. "Boys, the girls have a battle robot this time. No doubt built
by the Professor. As if he could outmatch my genius at building super robots, HA!"

From below Blossom can hear pounding and male and female voices yelling at each other! She

Blossom and Brick circle each other looking for an opening. Just then Blossom sees over his
shoulder two buildings that present an opportunity she can't pass up. She fakes a body blow then
comes upwards with a powerful uppercut which sends Brick sailing towards the two buildings;
Townsville Adhesives and Greases and Townsville Mattress and Pillow Wholesalers. As quick as can
be he hurls backwards through the two buildings. When he lands on far side of the second
building he is covered in grease and feathers!
Blossom sees what happened and crows in triumph, "YEAH!" Brick returns to the fray looking
like a Civil War era carpetbagger that was tarred and feathered. His brothers take a brief
breather from the battle to tease him! The girls watch the exchange with curious expressions.
Butch, "Stay away from a fast food joint, they'll fry you up!"
Boomer, "Dude, you can already fly, you don't need feathers!"
Brick has had enough of his brothers teasing him and lets them know!
"If you two don't SHUT UP!"
"Aww, Leader Dude all mad!"
Boomer and Butch smirk at each other and decide to go for it. They lose control, and let the
laughter overtake them.
"BWA HA HAAA"
"He hee Ha Ha Hoo Ha"
Brick just crosses his arms in disgust and glares at his brothers.
Butch noticing the momentary lull in the action surprises Buttercup with an uppercut that
sends her sailing several blocks away! With this Blossom, Brick, Bubbles and Boomer pair off
again and resume their battle, this time wrestling in the dirt! Butch decides to follow
Buttercup for the finish.
Buttercup has landed on her back, but before she can regain her footing Butch moves forward
pressing the fight. Desperately Buttercup kicks up and catches him under the chin with a double
thrust from the hips that sends him over the roof towards the far side of Townsville.
He lands in the Townsville Water Sewage Treatment Plant...SPLUSH...EWWWWWWWW!
Buttercup mutters to herself, "The bigger they are...heh heh"
Butch returns to the battle looking absolutely awful. He doesn't smell that well either!
Brick and Boomer can't help but notice their aromatic brother and cover their noses!
Brick "Man, you're pungent!"
Boomer, "You smell like Pepe Le Pew!"
Butch, "I landed in a sewage treatement plant OK?" He angrily flicks his wet sleeves at his
brothers and stares daggers at them!
Brick and Boomer wave their hands in front of their faces. Their cheeks puff out, they try
not to laugh, but fail and bust out in hysterics landing on the ground kicking and screaming.
Again, the girls stare at the impromptu humor.
"BWA HA HAAA"
"He hee Ha Ha Hoo Ha"
After the laughter the battle resumes. The RowdyRuffs break off and enter Mojo's lab through
the skylight. Mojo has his back turned to them as he is fiddling with his latest Chemical X
machinery. He hears them land and quickly hides some papers before turning about.
"Well boys..."WHAT HAPPENED to you two?!" as he sees the feather covered Brick and smells the
reeking Butch. "Go find a carwash!" he adds!
Brick begins, "That brat Blossom knocked me through a couple buildings. Between the two I
came out looking like this." He opens his arms in resignation looking kinda like a certain San
Diego mascot.
Butch, "Yeah, and that witch Buttercup knocked me into a sewage tank!"
Mojo, "PHEW, but are they history, a footnote, an adios or sayonara sucker?"
Brick, "We damaged their girl-bot so bad it exploded." They all go, "BOO HOO HOO" and rub
their eyes in a mocking pantomine. "The girls still live, but they are weakened and are on the
way here!"
Before Mojo can respond the glass ceiling shatters from several different directions at once!
Standing there looking at each other in amazement are the PowerPuff Girls, Bunny, and the blonde
man; Major Man himself, wanting his second chance!
Mojo scowls at the unwelcome interruption and addresses the intruders one-by-one in rapid
fire fashion, "You, PowerPuff Girls, prepare to get your hineys whipped! You, big blonde awful
Elvis wanna-be, prepare to get YOUR hiney whipped! You, fourth purple PowerPuff, prepare to get
YOUR..." Mojo stops speaking in surprise when he realizes what he just said!
"WHAAAT, A FOURTH POWERPUFF! IT CANNOT BE, IT'S A RUSE, IT'S NOT TRUE!"
"Bunny corrects him, "Yes, it is true, you brought me back right after them." She points to
the RowdyRuffs. She looks at his lab and at him and innocently comments, "Boy, for an evil
genius you sure don't pay attention to details, huh?"
Mojo blows his stacks and yells at the RowdyRuffs, "AT THEM" he commands!
It is mass chaos and pandemonium as a battle royale begins! Both sides rush towards each
other flinging furniture and other breakables in an attempt to slow the other side down. Major
Man is the first to strike as he connects with Brick's face using a left hook. Brick promptly
sails to the other side of the lab, hits the wall, and slides woozily to the floor. His hat flys
off and lands behind a console.
Boomer seeing what happened to Brick leaves his fight with Bubbles to avenge his brother. He
hits Major Man with a right cross and sends him sailing into a computer console. "Take that
blondie!" he gloats. His smirky face is wiped clean as Bubbles returns and also hits Boomer with
a right cross, "Watch those blonde comments!" she warns!
Butch has had it in for Buttercup ever since their first encounter. He captures her when her
back is turned as she is getting up from a fall. He spins her around and gets her in a choke
hold from the front. Butch threatens her, "I'm taking you out and that's the name of that tune."
Buttercup's vision is beginning to blur, she looks around for help but her sisters are busy
fighting their own battles. She notices Butch's spread legged stance, her eyes widen, she grins
and asks Butch. "You (GASP) like tunes? Here's (GASP) one for ya." and lets fly with a solid
kick to his groin!
Butch's face shows immediate results and his pupils reduce to pinpoints as Buttercup's attack
hits home in a most personal level. He lets go and crashes to the ground. Buttercup, almost
unconscious from lack of air falls beside Brick and tells him, "That was my (GASP) tune, it's
called The (GASP) Nutcracker Suite, (GASP) it's a classic." Having now caught her breath she
stands up, and begins to walk away.
Butch however is gasping for breath in big gulps on all fours! Sweat is rolling down from his
forehead and he rolls over on his back and just stays there. His brothers, forgetting the
battle, zip to his side to comfort him.
Boomer asks intently, "Butch, you OK? What did she do?" He asks shooting a baleful look at
Buttercup a few yards away.
Brick has recovered, but has stopped looking for his hat due to the problem with Butch. He
angrily addresses Buttercup, "What did you DO?"
Buttercup responds, "I hit a male pressure point, he'll recover. I had no choice, DEAL with
it!" Blossom stares at the boys amazed that they can be so violent, and yet seem to care for
each other at the same time. This has her most befuddled!
Meanwhile, Mojo has seen his chance with the lull in the battle. Noticing the Chemical X
chamber open he makes a mad dash for Bunny, grabs her, tosses her in and starts the machine!
"THERE WILL BE NO FOURTH POWERPUFF" he bellows!
Bubbles, seeing Bunny is in immediate peril, enters the chamber to rescue Bunny. Bubbles
grabs her arm and heaves her out! Bunny flys out the door and lands in a heap. Before Bubbles
has a chance to leave the device fires and scores a direct bullseye on her. She screams, turns
transparent briefly, fades back to normal and collapses. She lies limp and is barely conscious.
Blossom and Buttercup are in shock, it's obvious that Bubbles ain't gonna make it. Bubbles is
slumped against the chamber door ala "The Wrath of Khan" ending and beginning to disappear
because the blast has caused her Chemical X molecules to unwind.
Mojo gleefully, "RIGHT ON, one down, three to go! TALK ABOUT CLOSURE! It is I, Mojo Jojo that
killed your koot wittle Bubbles" he says mockingly. "Remember that when you're old and gray!
Oh, what am I saying? Silly me, you won't LIVE THAT LONG!" he screams!
The RowdyRuff Boys watch Bubbles' sacrifice in utter amazement, it has never occurred to
them that someone could make such an enormous gesture without thought of repayment. Mojo would
never do such a thing for them! They look at each other with deep and thoughtful expressions,
"IS there more to life than violence and mayhem, perhaps there IS a better way?" Brick thinks,
"These girls seem to have so much and are so happy, why can't we be like that?"
Without warning Brick gives Mojo a swift roundhouse kick that sends him flying against Major
Man's chest! He rebounds off and into the nearest wall and hits the floor unconscious. The
impact loosens his cranial helmet and it skitters across the floor.
The sudden turn of battle takes everyone by surprise, "Remember THAT when YOU'RE old and
gray!" Brick mutters sarcastically.
Blossom and Buttercup together, "Whaaa?"
Bunny watches with intense curiosity and awareness, clearly she is expecting a doublecross.
She focuses on the RowdyRuff's emotions just to be safe.
Brick begins to explain as his brothers gather. They notice Major Man's hulking presence
behind them with slow upward glances. Major Man has earned his second chance having received a
black eye and a sock in the mouth during the fight. His face is puffy and he glares at the Ruffs
as if to say, "I'm not down and I'm not out!"
Brick begins, "Your sister's sacrifice was touching, it made us realize Mojo was using us to
hurt you. We don't like being used, we don't want to hurt anymore. We want to make up our own
minds"...he pauses a bit, "Would you take Mojo to jail for us? We have something we'd like to do
first then we'll turn ourselves in." With that his brothers shoot a look of puzzlement at him.
Brick finishes..."RowdyRuff's Honor." He looks at his brothers as if to say, "and that's
final!" Before any of the PowerPuff Girls can respond the RowdyRuff Boys fly away through the
roof's skylight.
Blossom, "Well, that was strange!" then slowly, "let's get Mojo to jail then go home, we have
to tell the Professor about Bubbles as soon as possible" she says with a choked, sad voice.
Bunny and Buttercup look dazed and in shock.
Major Man says dramatically, "Don't worry about Mojo, I'll take him directly to the waiting
arms of justice. Thanks for helping me make a real difference this time." He hesitates briefly
then says, "I'm sorry about your sister. For what it's worth, Bubbles died bravely." He then
flys out the skylight with Mojo in tow.
