The Power Puff Girls X
Part 1: Super-Puff
Chapter 3: Demons, Superpowers, and Temptations
In the bowls of Hell, Him, the source of all worldly evil, was afraid. He did not fear the Power Puff Girls or retribution for his actions, but what he did fear was his master, who had awoken from his long sleep. De-Vel, the creature that had created Him out of darkness and given him life. Him spoke:
"Master please."
"NO"Said De-Vel. He was larger then life, mighty and strong like some ancient roman god. He was a muscular humanoid, with devilish goat's horns, a tail, a darkly gleaming pitchfork, and burning red skin. His eyes were nothing but piercing fireballs. To Him he was known as master, but in truth he was the physical apparition of darkness incarnate, Black Heart.
"You have one last chance, Him" De-Vel said "If you do not succeed this time you will return to darkness from whence you came."
"Yes master." said Him, bowing as he stumbled out backwards. He was quaking, for to Him to return to darkness was a fate worse then death. To return to darkness was to become nothingness once more, nonexistence was what he feared most. Not even Ducky could help him there.
It was a typical day in Townsville, and in Townsville typical meant trouble. The trouble of the day was Him, swollen to ten times his size and starting fires in hopes of drawing out the Power Puff Girls; he got his wish. Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup came flying in from the south.
"We'll take care of Him!" said Blossom, "Bubbles, you put out the fires." As the three became two and one, Bubbles saw that her work was cut out for her: nearly half the town was on fire. Bubbles landed as she tried to think of a way to put out the fire. Likewise Blossom and Buttercup were having problems: Him was fighting like his life depended on it.
Thoughts began to race through Bubbles' mind, first was that she needed water to put out the fire and second was "Why is my arm tingling?" She raised her arm to scratch it. Much to her surprise, a gush of water shot from it! In a flash the fire was out. She flitted about the city, putting out the others, all the while thinking "Wow! What a cool new power!" When she was done dowsing the city, she gave Him a hose down. Him having been successfully distracted, three punches were thrown and he hit the ground hard. Defeated, his body began to melt into the darkness and Him began to scream.
"Noooooo, Please stop! Master."
"You think we hit him to hard?" Blossom asked
"Naw, he deserved it" Buttercup answered. As his body continued to fade from existence. Him began to cry.
"Oh my! he's crying" said Bubbles, putting her hands to her mouth.
"But demons can't cry." Blossom replied.
"Humph, Baby." Buttercup growled angrily.
Meanwhile, across town, in a volcano observatory an evil monkey was scheming and talking to himself.
"Finally! I will destroy the Power Puffs, me, no one else, and me alone. I will cause them pain and make them beg for mercy. But I shall give them none; they will get none from me!" His ramblings continued until his last moments when the volcano below erupted with violent force. From the molten rock and flying debris, De-Vel emerged. Mighty and strong he called from his fiery perch.
"Come to me, Power Puffs, come and face your death at the hands of De-Vel." The girls heard this challenge and turned to face their new enemy. The fight began in an instant with De-Vel launching fireballs at them. They dodged his projectiles skillfully as they shot across the sky towards him. It was all they could do just to avoid the onslaught, let alone get close enough to counter-attack. Thoughts rushed through Blossom's mind: "How can we beat him, and why is my body tingling?" Momentarily lost in her thoughts, she didn't see the fireball until it was too late.
"Blossom!" her sisters screamed, Blossom braced for impact, but when she opened her eyes again, she saw and felt fire around her yet it did not burn her. She could feel the fire licking hungrily at her skin, she could smell it burning, but it did not harm her. Rather, it seemed to comfort and galvanize her. Four shocked looks appeared on the faces of Blossom, Bubbles, Buttercup, and especially De-Vel.
Blossom was surrounded by a fire aura. She smiled and launched herself at De-Vel through the air. He continued to launch fireballs at her but she rocketed straight through them. Punches, kicks, and flying tackles were launched at the enemy by Blossom, still enveloped by fire. Finally, she collided with De-Vel with such force as to push him deep into the volcano. After ten agonizing minutes, her sisters rejoiced at the sight of Blossom emerging from the lava. She then dropped her fire aura, and sealed the volcano with her ice breath, turning the lava into solid rock.
"Way to go!" Bubbles shouted, "He won't be back for a while!"
"Yah, and what a cool new power!" exclaimed Buttercup, "I can't wait for mine," she added, almost to herself.
Two nights later, around midnight, Buttercup was restless. Earlier that day they had fought with a giant turtle monster that was impervious to all their attacks. That is until Buttercup found her new power; a giant thunder ball that destroyed the monster in an instant. She was thinking:
"I am so much stronger then they are."
"Then you should leave."
"They're my sisters, but they always hold me back."
"Great power sleeps within you, but you can never release it here." At that point she realized that the voice was not hers. She padded over to her window and saw a dark blue bat fluttering there. Buttercup opened the window quietly.
"Who are you?" She asked
"An emissary of darkness." It answered, "Only through darkness can you achieve your true power; come with me to darkness." Just then a dark swirl appeared before her. She thought about the past and about the future. She desired the power offered to her, but she loved her sisters. Well, she could always change her mind and come back if it wasn't worth it. At the very least, this should be fun. Her only answer was to step into the darkness.
