I don't own the Powerpuff girls or any related characters. I do own Leviathan, Sezu, Kisu, Delu, Glyja, Beelzebub, and the six dark puffs.
The girls walk alongside Him through the mysteriously deserted streets of Townsville. All three are silent, mulling over the memories they've recovered. Him hums a little tune and Zenryoko is purring in Blossom's arms. Him waves his claw and a red mist wraps around them, sending them to his home. They appear in Him's living room. He motions for the girls to take a seat on the couch, which they do. All of this is so surreal. Here they are sitting in the living room of their worst enemy…well second worst enemy apparently.
Him walks off the edge of the living room and appears in Battle's room. Bomb is sitting up, while Battle is lying on her stomach on the bed. The two are playing with some of Bomb's toys, which Battle eagerly retrieved for their game. Currently they were playing out a fight between a plushy of Mushu and Yoshi, providing sound effects as kids do while playing. Him chuckles, which catches their attention. Battle sits up and crosses her legs, both beaming up at Him.
"Hi Daddy! Where've you been?" Him sits down on the edge of the bed and ruffles Battle's hair.
"Oh where haven't I been sweetie. We have guests, and I'd like you two to join us in the living room." Battle and Bomb nod and follow him to the living room. Their jaws drop when they see the Powerpuff Girls sitting on the couch. Him motions toward the recliner, where Bomb and Battle quickly seat themselves. Bomb sits on Battle's lap, still partially asleep. Battle blushes lightly and wraps her arms around Bomb's waist, secretly enjoying the bliss of holding Bomb like this. Him paces back and forth in front of the five kids, Battle and Bomb throwing nervous glances at the Powerpuffs once in a while. Finally he clears his throat and stops pacing.
"Well, you girls already know so I'll just fill my daughters in. You see Belial has been captured and taken to Hell. I…saw the way they were treating her and I can't say it's pretty. Now I expected to have all of my daughters, you puffs, and the Rowdyruff Boys here when I decided it was time to open the gate to Hell and destroy Leviathan. As you can see, that isn't the case,"
"They kidnapped Belial!" asks Battle, more amazed than concerned for her "big" sister's well being. Bomb, still partially not all together from being sick, snorts and says what Battle is thinking at the moment.
"Good, let them keep her." The puffs gape at Bomb. They look back at Him, who is just as stunned as they are. Amazing…Him can concoct plans the stretch across thousands of years, and yet he is completely unaware of the civil unrest between his daughters.
"B-Bomb…what did you say?" asks Him in a soft voice. Bomb has realized that she messed up and made the mistake of thinking out loud. She looks at the ground; unable to meet Him's practically heartbroken stare.
"I…I said they can keep Belial. I don't want to save her." Battle hugs her sister; also avoiding Him's gaze.
"We hate her Daddy…" Battle says in a tiny voice. Him gulps, feeling his heart breaking. His daughters hated each other. Well not Bomb and Battle, they obviously got along like a house on fire. But they both hated Belial. Looking back…he can't recall anything that would make them hate her. Sure Belial had an overly dominating personality…and a thing for tickling other girls, but she'd never done anything worth hating her over had she? He falls back into a chair that has appeared behind him, taking in all of this. Apparently Belial HAD done something worth hating her over. He'd seen the cold looks in the puffs eyes when he told them she had been captured. Bomb and Battle both fidget nervously, afraid that they'd really hurt Him's feelings, or made him mad at them. Him waves his claw in a pointless gesture and decides to move on.
"That aside, you five are now the only one's capable of getting into Hell and beating Leviathan. The key to our victory is you," points at Zenryoko, who stares at him confused, "Zenryoko, I need you to awaken the past potential for all five of the girls. Then you will all be strong enough for this." Zenryoko yawns and nods, understanding. She hops off Blossom's lap and sits down in the middle of the floor, waiting for Him to finish. "Now, due to Leviathan's magic I can't use mine to simply teleport us into Hell. We must use the gate and work our way to the bottom where Leviathan will be waiting for us." Zenryoko leans back, the jewel on her head glowing.
"Zyuuu!" A pink light floods the room, releasing all of the latent power hidden within Blossom, Bubbles, Buttercup, Bomb, and Battle. All five girls are stunned by this sudden power increase, but don't have time to gawk long. Him waves his claw and a burning red portal appears in the room. He stands up and motions toward it.
"Take this portal to reach Hell. Time is of the utmost importance now you must leave now! I will take a different path and get rid of Leviathan's generals." The girls stumble to their feet and one by one walk through the portal. Bomb and Battle both hug Him tightly.
"We're sorry Daddy."
"Yeah…" Him hugs them back and sighs.
"Don't worry…just hurry and stop Leviathan, I'll meet you at the black palace." They nod and head through the portal. Him waves his claw and the portal turns black. Then he too passes through it. Zenryoko watches the portal close and lowers her head, whimpering for their safety.
Throne Room of HellLeviathan leans back in his throne and watches Him and his little army enter Hell. He tosses his head back and laughs evilly. With a wave of his claw the vision is gone, and a black marble appears in Leviathan's claw. About that moment his three daughters enter the room. Blaze looks nervous like usual, Blood has her usual grin on her face and is happily discussing something with Blitz, who looks the same as usual. But no matter how well Blitz thinks she hides it, Leviathan sees right through her mask. He can see the burning want in her eyes when she looks at Blood. Blood is of course completely oblivious to Blitz's hidden feelings. They stop in front of him, and look up.
"What did you need us for Father?" Asks Blitz. Blood grins sadistically.
"Yeah we were just about to pay another visit to that sick freak Belial," Blaze winces at that comment, but it goes unnoticed by anyone, even Leviathan. Leviathan tosses the marble at them, Blitz catching it in one hand. Instantly black power shoots through her veins and pumps through her soul. She shudders and nearly falls to the ground, as all of her latent potential is unleashed. She stands up when it fades and stares at her hands. She hands the marble to Blood, who experiences the same rush, though she doesn't lose her footing. She grins and stares at the marble, before throwing it in Blaze's general direction. Blaze stumbles around trying to catch it, but instead ends up tripping and falling. Blitz and Blood laugh at her, which brings a fierce blush to Blaze's cheeks. She picks up the marble and a wave of pure power opens up in her. She lies on the ground until it runs its course and stands up. She goes to give the marble back to Leviathan, but he just waves her off. Blaze stares at it and shrugs.
"You see, now you have all of her amazing power unlocked. Malebolgia has sent the Powerpuff Girls as well as Bomb and Battle to destroy me. Your job is to destroy them, by any means necessary." Blitz and Blood grin and nod, turning around and leaving. Blaze nods half-heartedly and shuffles out of the throne room, heading straight for her room while her sisters make their way towards Belial's room to torture her for an hour or two.
Leviathan leans back in his throne and begins laughing once more. Beelzebub had gone to earth to gather SoulEnergy to become stronger. His super soldiers are in peak condition, and his brother's strongest warrior is broken and beaten. How he will enjoy the coming showdown. It is finally time to end this pathetic little game and move on to bigger plans.
