CHAPTER 4

The bell rang through the school.
"Have a nice day, students!" Ms. Keane shouted.
As Buttercup and Bubbles flew out, they began to talk.
"I haven't seen Blossom all day, except when we were going to school," Buttercup said worriedly.
"Is...Blossom OK?" asked Bubbles, worried.
"We gotta spread and search," Buttercup shouted, "I don't want to lose her again!"
They had just left to the City of Townsville when suddenly they saw a pink streak of light above.
"Blossom!" Bubbles cried.
"Let's catch up with her!" shouted Buttercup.
They took off, zipping into the noon sky. Suddenly, Blossom stopped right in front of them, stunning both Buttercup and Bubbles. Her face looked a little pale, but otherwise, she looked fine.
"Hey, guys, I've been looking for you!" Blossom said, smiling.
"We were in Pokey Oaks, you know that!" Buttercup yelled.
"..."
"Sorry, Blossom, we were just kinda worried." Bubbles said.
"Oh well. I'm okay now, so let's go hom-"
"Not so fast! Where were you during all this time?" Buttercup asked angrily. "And why is your face so pale?"
"What are talking about? My face isn't pale, and plus, I was fighting crime all day. It's more fun than school, isn't it?" Blossom said.
"Blossom, you love school. What's up with you?" Buttercup said calmly.
"I—I...I don't know." she whispered.
The gem on her head began to glow brightly.
"That's it! Look!" shouted Bubbles.
"That must be what's making you act so strange! C'mon Blossom, let's go back to the lab, so we can crush that stupid crystal and--"
"You fool." Blossom whispered, then immediately covered her mouth.
"Blossom, what's going on? Tell us!" demanded Buttercup.
"The...no...I won't say it...the Glory of Ice is being restored." Blossom stammered.
"Blossom?"
"I...am...Ice Blossom!!!!" she screamed. "No, I'm Blossom! Shut up fool! You are but my host!" She was yelling madly. Her hair was looking like it was almost...turning white. She abruptly took off, faster than the girls could go.
"Something is really wrong with Blossom..." Bubbles whispered.
"I know, and we gotta tell the Professor A.S.A.P!"
The two zoomed through the air, flying towards their home.
"I just hope we don't lose her again," Bubbles whispered.

The remains of the volcano-top observatory...

Blossom sat down amid the ashes, shivering.
"I have a plan..." a voice whispered.
"Shut up..." Blossom murmered.
"Ice eternal again." the voice said. "You were destined to be my body ever since you were born. Why fight it?"
"B-Because it's right." Blossom stammered. Brave as she was, she knew she couldn't hold out much longer.
"Ice eternal...How beautiful. You will engulf these pathetic mortals in ice, and we shall rule." The voice laughed.
"No..."
"Yes. And this equipment..." said the voice, gesturing at the remaining weapons in Mojo's arsenal. "It is all we will need. To make this planet COLD again...to make it cold... Stop fighting Blossom. You're dying. Your soul is running out of power. Look, if you let me take control, I'll spare your family and friends. You will have power unlike which you've ever had."
Blossom thought. "So...either I die and so does all life on earth, or I live, and some people live too? I want to keep people safe. Can you let me do that?"
"Of course. Deal? I'll tell you what to do. You just control."
Blossom suddenly felt a jolt.
"You're transforming." said the voice.
Blossom's hair transformed into hair white as snow, and her eyes began to turn blue.
"Yes..." the voice murmered. "YES!!!" it screamed.
Her face turned pale, and she could feel icy cold wind surrounding her...
"You are right," Blossom said. "Blossom died two months ago. I am Ice Blossom"
Two swords of ice formed around her hands.
"Now," said the voice, "time for the kill..."
