The Power Puff Girls X
Part 1: Super-Puff
Chapter 7: The Darkness Returns
Super-Puff and the Professor flew together, the former hanging on tightly to the latter. The Professor still had not said a word, nor had the general look of absence left his face. He was still wide-eyed with his mouth agape. He had been in this state for some time now and Super-Puff was beginning to get worried. She was thankful for the lack of malevolent interruptions; after all, she had other things on her mind. Mere moments felt like hours to her tortured mind. If the Professor didn't recover soon, she did not know what she would do. Finally, her grief was lifted when the professor spoke.
"Super-Puff?" He said in a confused tone.
"That's right; I'm so glad your okay." The heroine responded, smiling.
"But, what happened to my girls? Blossom, Bubbles, Buttercup, they disappeared when you appeared." The Professor asked. Super-Puff thought hard for a few minuets before answering. She needed to explain but had trouble finding the words.
"The girls needed strength. They were in trouble and despair, and yet they still had hope. Out of that hope and need I was born. I am a fusion. Blossom's mind and determination; Buttercup's strength and courage; and Bubbles' kind heart. These elements, the best of each Power Puff's character, blended together in me." The professor listened intently as Super-Puff answered his question.
The pair flew in silence for a while. As they flew Super-Puff's eyes watched the ground begin to fade and the sky beginning to blacken. Not surprising she thought to herself. This world was Black Heart's creation and without him, it was beginning to return to nothingness.
After a long time the two of them finally reached the arch. The portal was still there almost as if it was waiting for them. As Super-Puff set the professor down, she suddenly felt a chill in the air. As she tried to locate the source of the feeling, the professor spoke, breaking her chain of thought.
"My word! It's just like a computer" He exclaimed pointing to a button pad on the side of the arch. "See right here. If I reenter the coordinates; X: 157.99, Y: -233.4, Z: 1, There!" The two looked on as the portal shifted to the left slightly. "According to my calculations the portal should be connecting to the spot right in front of our house."
"Are you sure?" Super-Puff inquired.
"One hundred percent sure." He replied.
"Okay." Super-Puff answered. "You go ahead, I have a felling that something bad is about to happen and I don't want you to get hurt." The Professor nodded in agreement and stepped through the portal. Super-Puff again felt the chill in the air but ignored it. She had other matters to attend to. Turning to the sky, she said:
"Well Black Heart, I guess this is goodbye. Your were a bad person and strong fighter and I hope you can find peace in whatever place your in now." She gave a wave and turned away to leave.
"Are you leaving, so soon?" A voice called to the heroine. Immediately she turned to the sound of the voice. Super-Puff could not believe her eyes. Her mouth twisted into a grin when she shouted an answer to the person who had called to her.
"Actually, yes. See I thought you were dead, Black Heart."
"Yes I know." He called back. "If you hadn't then that monologue you just gave might not have been so touching."
"And here I was thinking you didn't have a heart." The Power-Puff answered.
"I don't" The villain said light-heartedly. "So you should know I will take great pleasure in destroying you."
"Why am I not surprised." Super-Puff replied. "But of course you realize that you never stood a chance against me and it will always be such."
"That may have true a few minutes ago." Black Heart said. "But since then I have been drawing power back from this world. And now that my strength has tripled, I will crush you."
"Some people never learn." Super-Puff muttered to herself. Then shouting back to Black Heart she said: "You're a fool to judge me by what appears on the outside. For that, you will have the pleasure of seeing my true power." She flexed he muscles and her body was enveloped in a clear, flame-like aura. The air crackled and poped around her from the surge in power. Black Heart was astounded. Despite his amazement, he managed to keep his voice calm when he said:
"Such power for such a small thing."
"Black Heart! This ends here." Super-Puff shouted as she blasted toward him. She was moving so fast that Black Heart was unable to keep track of her. However, by a stroke of brilliance, or dumb luck, (whichever you prefer) Black Heart found himself in an ideal situation. Somehow, he managed to have his hands in the perfect place. He caught Super-Puff's punch with his fist; and, seizing the moment of opportunity, delivered a powerful left hook to the heroine's face. The force of the impact sent pain circling through her body and knocked her back seven feet.
"Ha! So much for your so-called 'true power'." Black Heart said mockingly. Super-Puff wiped the blood from her lips; she growled fiercely and tackled Black Heart. Hundreds of blows were exchanged, villain and hero alike, dodging, parrying, and striking. Sparks filled the air as their powers collided. Black Heart was matching the heroine blow for blow despite the fact that he had only two limbs (arms) and she had four (arms+ legs).
As the two fought, something caught Super-Puff's eye. The momentary distraction was just enough for Black Heart to land another crushing blow on the warrior. Immediately after she countered with a punch of her own. Black Heart also delivered another punch, in the hope of finishing the heroine off. Fist met fist and the force of impact was so great that both warriors were blown backwards by the reflected energy. As they reeled backward from the impact force, Super-Puff got a good look at what had distracted her. Below them was Black Heart's castle. The Replalycanth statue sat just were it had always been. Originally, Super-Puff had thought the statue was perched on the cliff of a canyon or a ridge, but now she saw that the cliff was at the edge of the world. Beyond the cliff the world literally stopped, the sky, the ground, everything, just vanished into a blank void.
Super-Puff was growing weary. The battle had gone on for too long and she had used too much power. This had to end soon. She spread her arms wide and began to charge her energy. Then Black heart did the same, she was surprised and missed her chance. Bringing his hands crashing together (hands open), Black Heart called:
"DARK LASER FIRE!" The beam of black light shot through the sky toward Super-Puff. Without hesitation, she slammed her hands together, shouting:
"WHITE LASER FIRE!" The beams of light collided with one another. They bunched up at the center and formed a mass of energy. Black Heart let loose a primal howl and poured more energy into the beam. The mass of energy was rapidly pushed closer to Super-Puff. "It...'S, it's too much." She muttered, fighting agents the beam. "I can't win. I have to try. For the Professor, for Miss Kene, for the Mayor, for all the people on Earth, I have to win." Her courage returning she found herself flooded with power. She pumped all of this newfound power into the beam. The mass made an about-face and rushed backwards toward Black Heart.
"W-w, were did you get this much Power?" The villain yelled.
"I have people to protect. People who depend on me to defend them from the evils of people like You." The heroine yelled. She let loose a scream of pain as she made a final push.
"No! this isn't happening, it can't be!" Black Heart cried as he was enveloped in first the mass of energy and then a horrendous explosion.
Exhausted and lacking the power to keep herself afloat any longer, Super-Puff fell to the ground. She laid there for a few moments, catching her breath, before she herd a pitiful creature.
"H…, Help, Me." It moaned. Super-Puff stood and walked to the cliff face were a clawed hand clung desperately to the rocky ground. Black Hear dangled from his embedded claws, his left arm hung limp at his side, and he could not pull himself up. "Super-Puff, uh, help, me." He moaned again, his face twisted in pain. Super-Puff looked down on this pathetic creature. He had killed an innumerable amount of people and now he would receive his comeuppance. "Please, you can't, can't let me die like this." He pleaded.
"Why should I save you? You've killed without remorse for hundreds of years. Why should I show you the mercy you've never given anyone?" Super-Puff raged. The Buttercup part of her was ready to leave him there dangling and her Blossom side was inclined to agree.
"Because, you're a hero, and heroes, don't let helpless people die." The villain pleaded. Super-Puff sighed. He was right and the Bubbles side of her wanted to take pity on him. She grabbed a hold of him and hauled him up. As she turned away to leave she said:
"I never want to see your face again, Black Heart. But if you ever come near the Earth again I swear that you won't receive any mercy." Super-Puff said with a scowl.
"Just who do you think you are, ordering me?" Black Heart said as he stood. "I am the ruler of the universe and I shall do as I please." He attacked Super-Puff with his clawed hand.
"You ingrate!" Super-Puff shouted as she turned and punched the villain hard in the stomach. The impact knocked Black Heart into the air. He sailed over the cliff eight feet. Black Heart clawed at the air, desperate to find a handhold, as he fell. He fell until Super-Puff could no longer hear his screams.
Super-Puff went home and the fusion ended. The Power Puff girls continued to protect Townsville from whatever evil that reared its' head, and when they were in trouble they always had the power of Super-Puff. However, unbeknownst to the Power Puffs, deep within the darkness two red eyes were watching them.
