Okay, I'm back and I'm updating a new chapter. Alex is still a Powerpuff
Girl, or inside one anyway, but that won't stop her! She's got that fire
in her eyes!
Anyway, I've got the next installment of Traveler X here and I thought I'd get it out! I kind of like it (even though I have to write it still). Hehe, well I have to say that it is kind of fun writing this, and I hope you people have fun reading it!! (Wishful thinking?)
Alex: Okay, I gotta go.
Alex Ultra: What for?
Alex:
~~~~~~*** THE POWER OF ***~~~~~~
Well, it isn't all boring. Not in Townsville!
"Hahahaha!!" Mojo was out again, and Alex was on the scene. 'Again?'
{I'll take care of him, again. Kay?}
{Okay!} Bubbles and Alex had gotten to that point again, where they were working together pretty well.
Alex used Bubbles' extra-large eyes and stared Mojo down. "HA! Take this!" He fired something at her and missed terribly, she was already behind him.
"Stupid monkey!" She back-handed (or are they some kind of flippers?) him and sent him to the ground. There he tried to kick her, but she dodged brilliantly. "Is that the best you've got?" Apparently not, because he then pulled out some kind of beam sword, it glowed red-hot as he swung it around.
"Now, TASTE SWORD!!"
Alex rolled her eyes, "As if I haven't heard that before..." She dodged it within inches as he swung it around, and it shocked her anyway, burning away a strip of her clothes and giving her a slight burn. 'Oh, great. He's got a longer reach, what now?'
She dodged another sweep of the sword, and got a wave of heat in the face. 'Hey, I've got an idea.'
{Do something!! Call the other girls!!} Bubbles was begging Alex to call for the other girls, who were conveniently beating up a monster (most likely Mojo's).
{No! I've got an idea. And I think you should have just enough ki to pull it off.}
{And what if I don't?}
{Well, then it will be a very painful experience.} Alex was already gathering ki into Bubbles', uh, whatever it is that serves as her hands. Yeah, I'll just call them hands, for clarity, okay?
Well anyway, Alex looked down the armed Mojo and smiled. "Make my day, monkey!" Mojo growled, then shouted and swept the sword down, straight for her head! "Well, here goes." She put her hands up to stop the sword, and held it there with her, er, Bubbles' ki. "Ow, I thought this might hurt." 'Oh, well. Might as well finish this.' Mojo had a confused look on his face, as Alex looked him down, looking as if she was out for blood. "Hehe, FEEDBACK!!" She unleashed her attack, and watched as it latched onto the sword and cause an energy feedback that shocked and fried Mojo, again.
A puff of smoke came out his mouth as he fell over. Alex had won without much effort at all. 'Man, I am too good!' {Okay, Bubbles. You can take him to his cozy little cell!}
{Kay!} Bubbles took over as she picked up Mojo and flew downtown.
As they passed the place where Blossom and Buttercup were fighting some kind of eye-monster, Alex interrupted Bubbles again. {Bubbles wait! I've got an idea!} Bubbles relinquished control and Alex tied Mojo up with some metal piping. "Don't move Mojo!" She smiled as she flew off to 'eye' the monster down.
"Hey! I know you can see me!" The monster trained its many eyes on her as she put two hands to her forehead. "But that won't last long!"
"Bubbles! What are you doing?!?!" Buttercup was still trying to recover from the last hit she had taken.
"Don't worry girls! I've got this! SOLAR FLARE!!!" As she said this, her entire body lit up, blinding the monster's many eyes. "Okay girls. Go ahead, it can't see!" Alex looked at the other girls, and saw them clutching their own eyes. 'Oh, I forgot.' So, she kicked the stupid thing into the air and, reverting to Chemical X flight because she had used so much ki, went into a series of punches and kicks, ending in a spin-kick that sent the ugly thing flying straight into the sun. Who knows what happened after that?
{Are they okay?}
{Yeah, Bubbles. It may not seem so to you, but to everyone else that flash was very bright. So bright it hurts and makes it hard to see. But they'll be better soon!}
{Well, if you say so...}
"Ngh, ow! I can't see!"
"What was that? What did he do to Bubbles?"
"Where is Bubbles?"
"I'm right here!"
"Bubbles? What happened?"
"Oh, I blinded that monster and kicked it out of the park!"
"Huh? How did you blind it?"
"Oh! I guess it's another of my powers! Hehehe..." Weak excuse, I know.
"Well, it's nice. But please don't use it too much, okay?"
"Okay!" 'Well, at least they didn't see me use Feedback! That would have been way too hard to explain...'
"Well, where's Mojo?"
"Over there."
"Over where?"
"Oh, right. I'll get him!" Alex told Bubbles to take over again, and she went to get Mojo.
{Well, Bubbles. Can you wait?}
{For what?}
{Me to come the rest of the way here!}
{Oh that! Actually I'm just starting to think you're some voice in my head! Maybe I'm crazy or something.}
{No, I'm real. Hey, don't miss him! Hey! Go back!}
{Oh! Shoot!} Bubbles went back, got Mojo, and went to get the girls.
"Are you guys okay?"
"Yeah, I think my eyes are coming back."
"Sorry about that."
"It's okay, we weren't doing too well on our own anyway."
"Yeah, hehehe. Okay." The others risked opening their eyes and slowly rubbed life back into them.
"Well, I'm not blind! But that was pretty bright Bubbles!"
"Does it have anything to do with that metal thing the Professor made you?" Blossom was just now opening her own eyes.
"Uh, I don't think so. But maybe!" They all laughed a little and went on with the rest of what needed to be done. Namely drop Mojo off and get home.
~~~~ A little while later ~~~~
"Hey, Bubbles. Where you going?"
"Outside to take a walk."
"Just be home before dark, okay honey?" Alex nodded and went out the door, with the metal suit making every movement extremely hard. 'The Professor does good work! With this her strength'll be higher in no-time!' She struggled with every step, but it was worth it. The sooner she got out of here the better.
{Wow. This is hard!}
{Yeah, it is. But that's good.}
{Why?}
{Because the harder it is, the faster it will build up your strength!}
{Are you sure?}
{Yes. Not only that, but by the time I'm done, you'll have even more powers to beat up monsters with!}
{Okay. Just as long as you teach us that stuff you said you'd teach us!}
{Don't worry. I will.} To the sidewalk now, she was moving slowly, but it was a good slow. She could already feel Bubbles' muscles straining, chemical X or no; this kind of exertion would build up her power or else. It wasn't even that heavy, it was the stiffness in the joints that made it hard!
"Bubbles! What is that thing anyway?"
"It's supposed to help me get stronger!" The other two only shrugged.
"Whatever, I'll stick to the Monster Room." Buttercup flew off, and Blossom looked at the retreating form for a little longer.
She whispered to herself, she could tell something was wrong. "Okay, Bubbles. What's wrong?" Then she retreated into the house somewhere.
~~~ Somewhere in the park ~~~
Alex had already tied a tree in a tight rope. Now she was beating on it with impressive speed, despite the suit making it hard just to move. She was grunting with every hit and floating about two feet off the ground. "Okay tree! Take this! And this! And this!"
{Why are you beating up a tree?}
{It's... training. It... will... make... you... faster... agile... aim... ki... likes that.} Her speaking was slowed by the exertion, but she was used to it so it didn't bother her.
{Are you okay?}
{Just... thinking. Don't worry about it. Can't you feel your ki by now?}
{I don't know. How will I know when I do?}
{It will feel right. Even more natural than your Chemical X. [pant] It's kind of like the feeling you get when you're really mad or protective and it makes you stronger?}
{OH! I'VE DONE THAT!!}
{Yeah, I know.} Alex didn't tell why she knew, but she was willing to rest, and get a new rope (she had worn through the first one).
"Hey Bubbles!"
"Huh? What is it Blossom?"
"Professor says it's time to come home. What are you doing anyway?"
"Practicing." She said it like it was the most obvious thing in the world, which it was to her.
"Why do you need practice?"
"Oh, it's nothing."
"Nothing is when you spill milk. Now what's wrong?"
"Nothing!"
Blossom looked her in the eye. "Look, Bubbles, or whoever you are. I know Bubbles better than anyone, and either something's wrong, or you aren't Bubbles. Now tell me, what is it?" Alex looked like she'd been found out, well, because she had.
She hung her head low as she flew slowly back to the house (on ki, of course). "Okay, I'll tell you. But first, I have to say this." Blossom looked puzzled. "Bubbles is still in here with me, don't worry about that. You'll understand once I tell you the rest of the story. But you have to promise not to tell anyone else, okay?"
"I'm listening." And, she told as much of the story as she felt necessary.
~~~ A while later ~~~
'Well, I feel better!' Alex had told her story.
"So, when will you be able to come here fully?"
"When I've got Bubbles' power to a certain level. That's what this suit is for, to boost natural strength."
"Okay. Well, it sounds like you've got some work ahead of you!"
"Oh, don't worry about that! When I first started, I wasn't even as strong as Bubbles is! See, I've been doing this pretty much my whole life, so I'm used to it!" Before Blossom could even respond Bubbles' mouth opened again, this time sounding shocked. "YOU HAVE!?!?"
"Have what?"
"NOT YOU!! HER!!"
"Her who? OH! Bubbles?"
"Yeah?"
"Where'd she go?"
"Oh, uh, in my head? I guess!" "I'm right here!"
"Okay, now that's just creepy!"
"Well, you'll probably have to get used to it. Either that or we'll have to get used to KEEPING TO OURSELVES!!" "Sorry." The conversation between Alex and Bubbles was slightly disturbing Blossom, who was so confused that she almost forgot to fly. "Hey! Don't fall!"
"Ah! Oh, right! Sorry! So, which one's which?"
"I'm not exactly sure sometimes. Sometimes we talk to each-other so easily that it seems we think the same thing, at the same time!"
"So, that wasn't really Bubbles fighting today, was it?"
"Uh, no. Not really. See, technically, it was her, but I was moving her body, and I'm a bit more experienced so..."
"So, it's Bubbles' strength, but your fighting?"
"Yeah! Something like that! Funny, isn't it?" Then Bubbles took over and laughed her little laugh. "Yeah, funny!"
"Uh, yeah." Blossom was smiling nervously, trying to hide how creeped out she was.
"Okay, let's go home! Race ya'!" Bubbles raced off, and Blossom raced after her.
'Well,' thought Blossom, 'this isn't going to be easy to keep a secret if they keep going on like that!'
And, so went another couple of days, as Alex got Bubbles stronger, it didn't go unnoticed.
~~~ In Mojo's lab ~~~
"Well, Mojo. Are we almost ready?"
"Yes. If this works, we won't have to worry about those annoying Powerpuffs anymore!"
"Good."
~~~~~~*** End of Chapter 7 ***~~~~~~
Okay, well that was fun! Don't you think? I know that the Powerpuff girls aren't exactly DragonBall Z tough, but it fits into this fic so there!!
Alex: Well, that was fun.
Alex Ultra: I just said that!
Alex: I know!
Alex Ultra: Then why did you say it?
Alex: 'Cause I'm bored!
Alex Ultra: ... You know, you're annoying.
Alex: I'm glad you think so! That means I've done my job!
Alex Ultra: You have a job now!?
Alex: Yup! Vegeta's paying me to annoy you!
Alex Ultra: Oh, great. Hey, why don't you invite him over? I have something to tell him... [Grabs the handle of the FRYING PAN OF DOOM, DEATH, AND TERROR and swings it around maliciously]
Alex: [nervously] Uhm, okay...
Alex Ultra: HAHAHA! I'VE GOT HIS ANNOYING RIGHT HERE!! HAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!
Alex: Um, you're scaring me...
Alex Ultra: GOOD!! NOW GO GET HIM!!!
Alex: Okay! [Runs off]
Alex Ultra: Hehe, yet again I have demonstrated my superiority. MAN I LOVE THIS THING!! Maybe I should get a matching sword?
Hehe, yeah. Maybe. Well, anyway, how about this chapter? Would you say I watch too much Powerpuff girls? Well I would! See, I've got a few other things to put those little bug-eyed freaks through so keep reading and look for my next chapter!!
Alex: I brought him!
Vegeta: What's this about!!!
Alex Ultra: Oh, you'll see...
As I beat the living daylights out of the cocky idiot, why don't you review me? I know you can... I have faith in you!!

Anyway, I've got the next installment of Traveler X here and I thought I'd get it out! I kind of like it (even though I have to write it still). Hehe, well I have to say that it is kind of fun writing this, and I hope you people have fun reading it!! (Wishful thinking?)

Mojo had a confused look on his face, as Alex looked him down, looking as if she was out for blood. "Hehe, FEEDBACK!!" She unleashed her attack, and watched as it latched onto the sword and cause an energy feedback that shocked and fried Mojo, again.

"Sorry about that."
"It's okay, we weren't doing too well on our own anyway."
