Our story begins, oddly enough not in Megaville, but in a place called Beach City. Lying on the sand were four figures together, one who appeared more human than the other three and he was a male while they were all female, and they were known as Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl... And Steven! They were a special team known as the Crystal Gems.
"What does that cloud remind you of?" Steven grinned at his friends.
"A cloud." Garnet simply stated.
"Clouds are just vapor," Pearl spoke up logically. "They don't shape anything, but random forms of gas."
"Aww, Pearl, don't be so earth-bound! It's not good for you," Steven told her. "Let your imagination go wild! Just name whatever they remind you of!"
"Um... Why are we doing this again?" Pearl asked like it was pointless.
"It was Steven's turn to choose a common leisure activity." Garnet remarked.
"I'm enjoying it!" Amethyst smiled. "Although I feel hungry."
"Me too!" Steven smiled back. "Who's up for some bits?"
And so, the two went off to Beach Citywalk Fries.
"Bits! Bits! Bits! Bits! Bits!" Steven and Amethyst chanted as they pounded the counter eagerly and hungrily.
Luckily, they got what they wanted and decided to get back to the house they came from.
"I just love the bits," Steven smiled. "They taste like heavenly manna straight from the gods."
"Whatever." Amethyst shrugged from that.
"Speaking of gods..." A male voice said before out came a deathly and scary figure at the two. "As soon as I possess all of the powers of the Gems, that shall be me."
"Wow! We quickly got into the plot." Steven said as Amethyst narrowed her eyes bravely.
"I don't have time for petty games," The man glared. "For I have a world to rule!"
"Steven, get to the others quickly." Amethyst commanded as she pushed the boy out of the way and came to see this dark figure.
Steven nodded and soon ran away, though looked back in concern for his friend. Amethyst soon brought out her whip and lashed it out. However, the strange man soon caught it like he saw it coming.
"I did not expect that." Amethyst muttered weakly.
Meanwhile...
"Garnet! Pearl!" Steven called and panted as he rushed over to the other two. "Amethyst is in trouble!"
"She's always in trouble," Pearl remarked. "In fact, she is trouble."
"You should take a step to the right." Garnet told Pearl.
"Wha...?" Pearl blinked, only for Amethyst to be thrown and crashed that way suddenly.
"The Crystal Gems..." The dark figure greeted as he appeared in the beach house. "At last, we meet."
"Steven, take cover!" Garnet told the boy as she and Pearl got ready.
"Ouch..." Amethyst grunted once she hit the floor.
"Now I'm mad." Pearl glared at the figure.
Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl all soon got ready to fight this being.
"Hand over your gems and I'll go easy on you." The figure demanded.
"If you want our gems, come and get 'em!" Amethyst retorted. She then turned into a ball and whooshed over to him.
The man who was named Hex soon took out his staff before whacking her away like a golf club against a ball, sending Amethyst flying high in the air and hitting the ceiling. Garnet and Pearl looked concerned, but glared towards Hex as they were going to make him pay for that. Pearl took out a sword and began to fight Hex's staff with it until he soon grabbed onto the gemstone on her forehead which was her namesake, making her look suddenly unwell. Garnet then got ready with her fists before Hex shot her away with a wall of fire.
"I thought that this wouldn't be so easy." Hex smirked as he collected Pearl's gemstone.
"Garnet!" Amethyst cried out as she ran towards the fallen Gem.
"Don't mind me!" Garnet told her. "Just help Pearl!"
The two soon gasped as Hex took Pearl's gemstone out which made her fade away from existence.
"NOOO!" Steven cried out.
"You're gonna pay for this!" Amethyst snapped.
Hex soon shot blasts at Amethyst and she curled up into a ball to avoid them. She then jumped out and lashed out her whip only for Hex to step on the ropes.
"EAT THIS!" Amethyst glared as she pulled on the ropes, but...
KABOOM! The from the explosion, Hex took a hold of the energy that morphed around as he took it in a ball shape and slammed it down which caused a large shockwave around the beach. Garnet soon appeared right behind Hex and tried to strike him, but he was protected by some sort of shield.
"A force-field..." Garnet realized as she tried to hit Hex, but couldn't.
"I don't have time for this," Hex said as he made her slam into the wall by force. "There's a world out there that needs my guidance," he then came over Amethyst who was lying in the middle of the ground in agony.
"Ah... You're giving up... I see..." Amethyst said weakly before Hex soon used his staff again and took her gemstone away next and she was now wasted away.
"NO!" Steven cried out.
"This is not working," Garnet reported. "We need a plan."
"GARNET!" Steven panicked as she was the only Gem left.
"Steven, stay there! This is the only way!" Garnet told him before she looked over as she was going to be Hex's next victim. "You are our only hope..." she then put away her brass knuckles to surrender as she felt she had no choice.
Hex soon raised himself up right behind her and split her in half as she was a Fusion Gem. And with that, Garnet split in half and soon both of her gemstones, Ruby and Sapphire, spilled out, much to Steven's horror. Hex brought out a book as he now had the gems he needed and saved them in the book for his own selfish gain, leaving Steven all alone.
"Soon, Hex will rule and darkness will fall." Hex proclaimed before he disappeared in a poof of smoke.
Steven was just devastated and aghast from what just happened and also felt very sad to see his friends gone. "He... He defeated them..." he sulked quietly. "He took them away..."
Suddenly, a flyer hit Steven in the face to give him a possible solution. There was an event for something called the 3rd Annual Megaville Acme Comic-Con with special guests known as the Powerpuff Girls. He looked thoughtful of what to do next and soon went to visit this Comic-Con place via Warp Pad.
Steven soon appeared in the middle of Megaville, very far from home as he found himself outdoors where many other people were, hoping to have a good time. Some people were even dressed like the Powerpuff Girls in a cosplay fashion.
"Excuse me!" Steven called as he broke through the crowd to talk with someone. "Do you know where the Powerpuff Girls are?"
Two boys known as Earl and Jonny 2x4 gave him strange looks before the question was answered.
"They'll be on stage any minute now." Earl told the new boy.
"Sorry! Coming through... Sorry!" Steven called out as he came through even bigger crowds of people who looked eager to be here.
Hex also seemed to be in the crowd as there was a crowd gathered around the stage.
"Ladies and gentlemen! The moment you've all been waiting for is here! Please welcome my best buds: The Powerpuff Girls!" Robin the Boy Wonder, dressed as Blossom, announced from the stage.
Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup soon began to fly down on the stage as that was their cue. They then landed on the stage which caused the crowd to go wild.
"Transportio Magicae Intervectum..." Hex recited to himself from within the cheering crowd.
"Excuse me! Let me through!" Steven cried out as this crowd felt impossible. "I have to talk to them! Oh, no..." he then panicked once he saw Steven.
"Divinae Et Opportum!" Hex then concluded from his spellbook.
There was soon a huge energy blast from Hex which made a giant portal appear which startled the crowd slightly.
"Best Con Ever!" Uncle Grandpa cheered.
"What's going on?" Bubbles asked in concern.
"Get him!" Buttercup glared once she saw Hex.
"Your reign is over, Powerpuff Girls!" Hex grinned darkly. "Hex... Is... ALL!"
The gemstones came out from the magic as the portal got bigger and more stronger. Blossom, Bubbles, Buttercup, and Steven had a hard time fighting it as it looked as though they were being sucked in! Can you say here we go again? The four all cried out as they were being sent away from the Comic-Con and straight into a brave new world, traveling many ways away, far from home.
