Hairy Gregory: No more Powerpuffs will not be created to fight the Imperator. Note, I did not say no more Powerpuffs will be created. Period.
Well, guess being on the computer all day can be helpful. I managed to get a very buggy unfinished version up yesterday though but that took me, what, four-five hours.
Blossom rubbed her brow in frustration, glaring at the enormous pile of blackening paper lying on the table. She was sitting in the Public library, flicking through recent news articles for any sign of Imperium. A week had gone past since the Imperators first sighting. A week of chaos, senseless murder and, for them, defeat and humiliation. The first day they tried to ambush her en masse but failed miserably and ex-scientists all around the world were getting slaughtered. She discarded yet another article on the Caesars into a mounting pile of frustration. She just about had enough of it when she spotted something that looked promising. It was an article entitles "Mystery Imperium disappears". The article talked about how the police had snared hordes of druggies swarming into rehab after the supply dried up in Alaska. It also went on to describe how rehab was going slowly as an alternative supply could not be found in America.
Bingo! The only supply. It must have been redirected to Townsville. That is what the Imperator needed the money for. She went on digging through the records unearthing the interrogation transcripts. She pulled out on that looked reasonably sane and scanned through it.
Interrogator: So where did you get the supply?
Suspect IM93R10R: Always, every week, a single pill will come to us. It is dissolved into a bottle so we get a bottle weekly.
Interrogator: Only a bottle, is that enough?
Suspect IM93R10R: Yes it is very potent. A single drop can keep you high for a week.
Interrogator: Do you know why it originated in Alaska.
Suspect IM93R10R: It needs extreme temperatures to create and must be kept in an extreme to maintain it's usefulness after a few days.
Interrogator: I see. Can you describe the effects?
Suspect IM93R10R: You feel powerful yet you lose free will. Even slight suggestions from total strangers seem to have a force of will. You feel as if you are in God's presence and he holds his dominion over you. You feel as if you have harnessed the power of the sun yet are buckled by the wind…
(The subject then trails off and goes into a mad frenzy until sedated.)
Blossom finished jotting down notes in her notepad and lifted out a travel guide. Alaska eh. As a lone hiker bringing the drug here would be crazy and improbably because of the extremes part and the distance, that left three viable transportations. Air, bus and ship. One of those must be the mode. She checked the schedules hoping for an anomaly that would rule one of them up but they each ran once a week. Sighing she flew off to gather her sisters who were maintaining their futile vigil.
She flew to the local Tour agency and asked about pricings for trips to Alaska via the various modes. The salesgirl looked at her quizzically.
"You're leaving in these circumstances"
Blossom smiled and replied "Even superheroes need a vacation"
Rolling her eyes, the salesgirl printed out her tickets.
