Author's note:

Well, I always thought Mojo was ambitious. I mean, REALLY ambitious. And Him had always been numero uno, so it was natural to get rid of a very dangerous concurent.

Anyways, here goes part two – and thanks for your reviews! : )

2. The warm "welkum"

"Hi, Professor!"

"Hi, Buttercup".

"Hi, Professor! Did I say I love you today?"

"Oh, Bubbles, aren't you cute…"

"Hi, Professor! How do I look? Huh? What do you think?"

Professor Utonium, brilliant scientist and creator of the wonderful Powerpuff Girls, looked thoughtfully at Blossom's new haircut. Hair was the tender point of the red-haired beauty. Of course she managed to overcome the stress when Bubbles and Buttercup nearly destroyed her beautfil chevelure, but Professor sure didn't want to repeat that story…

"You're absolutely smashing, Blossom", he smiled.

"Thanks!" – and absolutely happy Blossom dissapeared.

"Oh, girls!" Professor called.

The superpowered protectors of Townsville had already reached their room, but their father's voice made them, ah, a little anxious.

"Do you think he found out about Twiggy?" Bubbles asked quietly.

"Come on, it's just a hamster!"

"A giant mutant hamster", Blossom sighed.

"But we had to place Twiggy SOMEWHERE!"

"I know, but…"

"Girls, I need your assistance!"

The next moment Professor saw the three pair of beautiful innocent eyes watching him curiously.

"Yes, Professor?"

"You see, Professor Xavier, a colleague of mine…"

"He isn't like that awful Professor Dick, is he?" Bubbles asked.

"Of course not. Charles Xavier is a great man, indeed. Um… where was I?.. Oh yes. Two of his students are coming to Townsville to investigate some phenomena, and I promised him to provide any necessary help. Will you please meet those students in the airport and help them.."

"Of course!"

And the Powerpuff trio left before their father could finish the phraze.

"…get to the hotel?.. Oh, my little angels", the Professor smiled. "Always so eager to help".

And while Professor Utonium was working in his lab, girls were flying towards the airport, and Jubilee and Salamander were trying to guess what Townsville was like, Mojo Jojo decided to relax a bit.

"Ten ripe bananas hanging on the wall, ten ripe bananas hanging on the wall… but if one of the bananas should accidently fall?..(something is definitely chewn then swallowed) Yummy! There will be nine ripe bananas hanging on the wall!"

Mojo's singing was interrupted by the roaring sound of Scarlet Slayers' engines.

"What? You're back already?"

"It was impossible to destroy mutant designate: Him", the robots said. They didn't look too well – all beaten and fused, missing some arms and legs… but all of the Slayers managed to return.

"What do you mean, impossible?" Mojo roared angrily. "Why?"

"Evil never dies, Master", the Slayers explained.

"Oh, brother…" Mojo muttered. "So what HAVE you done, you worthless pieces of cybertronic junk?"

"Mutant designate: Him was neutralized using the static field. Being a zone of stopped time, it is virtually impenetratable for any existing force".

"Really…"

Mojo Jojo smiled an evil smile.

"I have to see this myself. You!" – he ordered to the Slayer that was almost intact. "Bring me to the place where you left Him".

"Yes, Master".

But little did the triumphant Mojo Jojo know that fighting Him made the Slayers' software a bit unstable. Calling the scary villain "mutant designate: Him" was the first troubling sign. But alas! – Mojo was too happy to notice it.

So Mojo Jojo left his laboratory, eager to see the fallen lord of evil. And meanwhile…

"Say, Amoeba Boys, what are you doing here?" Blossom asked. The Townsville's Most Pathetic Criminals were holding a big placard with a crooked inscription saying "Welkom to taun of Sitysvil".

"We're commiting crime!" – one of the Amoeba Boys giggled. "All the tourists will think that they are in the town of Citysville, NOT the city of Townsville!"

"Oh, yeah. That one's really clever", Buttercup commented with an evil grin.

"Look, I think there are the guys we were told to meet!" Bubbles said.

She was right. The black-haired girl wearing bright yellow overcoat was none other than Jubilation Lee, and the gloomy lad near her was Iver.

"Didn't know you don't like flying", Jubilee mentioned.

"Normally flying is OK… the things I really hate are children and monkeys".
