Powerpuff Girls and Boy
Chapter 14
Telephoine
Narrator: The City of Townsville and what a beautiful city she is! Full of–
Before he could finish his intro to the show he got a ringing from his phone.
Narrator: Excuse me. Hello?
He picks up for the other person on the line who talked like some kind of street rat, disrespecting the narrator.
?: Yeah, listen, jerkface, good for nothing toad.
Narrator: You can't talk to me like that!
?: How about this? I think you stick! I can smell your right through the phone!
Narrator: Why I ought… Who is this?
Before he could get some answers he heard dial up signaling that the person quickly hung up the phone.
Narrator: Hello? Hello?
Turning towards the nearest telephone poll the Narrator found the prank callers, The Gangreen Gang. They were all laughing over Ace's prank call and how they fooled the Narrator.
Narrator: Why you prank-calling, good for nothing! When I get my hands on you ill–
The gang's laughter died down, going for their next target.
Ace: What a dope!
Snake: Yeah, what a dope.
Arturo: Hey, Ace! Ace! Do another one, huh?
Snake: Yes-s-s, yes-s-s. Do another one.
Ace: Alright, alright. Let's see.
He picks up a phone and punches in the numbers. It rang for a few seconds before someone picked it up, being a receptionist for some kind of fancy restaurant.
Receptionist: Café de Paris.
Ace: Yeah, listen, do you have frogs' legs?
Maitre d': But of course.
Ace: What, do you hop to work, then? Jerk!
Ace quickly hangs up, the gang hollering with laughter once more. Ace picks up the phone and gives it to Arturo.
Ace: Ok, Arturo, you're up!
The others awed, not being able to get a turn. Arturo quickly shushed them as the phone rang. Someone picked up from the end being Professor Utonium.
Professor: Hello?
Arturo: Hi, am I speaking to the man of the house?
Professor: Yes, by golly, you are.
Arturo: Well, then, you just won $10 million dollars.
This drove the professor to excitement. Anyone gaining that much money would be set for life.
Professor: $10 Million Dollars?! I never wanted anything else in my life!
Arturo: Please hold.
Professor: Sure, I'll hold.
The others try to hold their laughter, Arturo covers the mouthpiece and shushes them trying to keep up with the ruse. Ace picks him towards the telephone pole and he presses on the hook, breaking the connection.
On the other end, the professor was waiting on the phone. Bolt comes flying over to the still professor.
Bolt: Hey, professor, do you know what's gonna be for lunch? I'm hungry.
The professor didn't answer as he was still waiting for them to put him off hold, which he didn't know that they were long gone by now.
Bolt floats to the floor and pulls onto his pants leg.
Bolt: …. Professor…
Meanwhile, back with the Gangrene Gang, they were laughing their butts off. Tricking the professor that he had won money was one of the oldest tricks in the book and he fell for it.
Ace: Ok, who's next!
The guys jumped up, wanting to take a turn at the phone. Ace thinks for a second when he gives the phone to the big guy, Billy. Everyone else's awed, both being able to get a turn as Ace punched in a random number.
The dialed for a second, picking up the phone was a redhead housewife who was doing the dishes while she held the phone to her ear with her shoulder.
Housewife: Hello?
Pause.
Billy: ……Hi….
Housewife: Who is this?
Long ause.
Billy: ……Billy….
Housewife: Billy who?
Even longer pause.
Billy: ….Big Billy…!
The woman finally realized what's going on seeing that Billy barely knew how to prank call anyone.
Housewife: Hey, is this some kind of prank call?
Billy sadly admits to it giving her a sad nod. The woman didn't seem impressed, scrubbing the dishes while giving a disappointed look.
Housewife: Well it's not a very good one.
Billy tried to apologize when Ace took the phone from his hand getting him out of that embarrassing situation. He tried to save the call with a really rough joke.
Ace: Prince Albert in the fridge!
He quickly hangs up on the woman, giving a sigh to his crew.
Ace: That was pathetic!
Arturo: We're sorry, Ace. We can be funnier!
Ace shook his head, patting a hand on Lil Arturo's head
Ace: Nah, it ain't the jokes, it's the pranks. They're too small-time. We're the Gangreen Gang, for cryin' out loud! We need somethin' big. Somethin' this whole city will never forget!
He got to thinking of a prank that could shake the city to its very core. He looked around the block when he looked behind and spotted the best place. His mouth curled up to a sinister smile giving out a low chuckle getting an idea.
Ace: Boys, I think I got it!
They all look behind him and see that they're right in front of Townsvill's City Hall.
Inside the city hall, the Mayor was doing his usual business. Which was playing golf on top of his desk.
He lined up his shot and putted the ball towards the practice hole. It rolled in and out of it when the phone on his desk started to ring and he quickly picked it up.
Mayor: Hello… Oh, Miss Bellum… You need me to leave the office?
Outside the Town Hall, Grubber was on the phone talking to the mayor impersonating Miss Bellum. Which was actually pretty spot on.
Grubber (Miss Bellum): Sir, we need you to cut the ribbon at the new mini mall. Hurry Mayor, the crowds are getting restless!
The rest of the gang gave fake cheers to further trick the mayor into thinking there was actually a mall.
Gangrene Gang: We want to shop! We want to shop!
Grubber (Miss Bellum): Hurry!
Coming running past them was the Mayor with the city's ceremony scissors. He quickly passed them as the gang laughed at his stupidity.
Ace: Ok boys, let's go.
They then enter through the door of the town hall. Ace looked around seeing that no one else beside the mayor was inside the building. They sneaked through halls, making sure to not make any noise until they made it to the door of the mayor's office.
They peaked through, looking around the dim room. Their eyes then spotted their target, letting out a sharp gasp.
Inside a glass case sat the Hotline to call the Powerpuff Girls and Boy.
Meanwhile at the Powerpuff's house, the professor was still on the phone still thinking he was on hold. Bolt and the girls stood in front of him, looking at him with concern.
Bolt: He's been like this for twenty minutes. Hasn't moved once since I found him like this.
Blossom: Very strange.
Buttercup: He's just standing there.
They continue to stare at the non-moveable professor with an even more deep concern for him.
Bubbles: Should we see if he's ok?
Bolt: I tried getting my attention, but he just ignores me. Is something that important on that phone?
Buttercup: Maybe.
Snapping them out of their shock, the hotline buzzed for them to pick up.
Blossom: An emergency! The professor will just have to wait.
Blossom quickly picks up the phone, answering the call to action.
Blossom: Hello? What's the trouble Mayor…. Mojo Jojo is at it again?
On the phone with Blossom, Grubble was doing his best Mayor impression which was completely spot on.
Grubble (Mayor): Hurry!
When he hung up the hotline the gang laughed knowing they fool the kids into thinking Mojo actually did something. Even if the monkey was a villain he had nothing to do with this prank of there's.
The sunlight shone upon the monkey villain lair. Inside, Mojo was laying on his chair, snoozing around. He hadn't done anything evil for about two days now and decided he'd spend the evening listening to classic music and read the paper before falling asleep.
The peace didn't last forever when crashing down through his roof was none other than the main hero, The Powerpuff Girls and Boys!
Being woken up from his sleep, he quickly sat up with confusion when he was socked in the face by Blossom. He didn't have any time to think when again being socked in the other side by Buttercup before being beaten by Bubbles in the neck.
He growled in anger, tossing Bubbles off of him.
Mojo: What is the meaning of the–
He couldn't finish his sentence when he got kicked in the face by Bolt, sending both himself and the chair into the wall. He slowly slides down and gave a painful groan.
The kids stood in front of him, thinking they stopped Mojo from doing any harm.
Bolt: Thought you could do any villainy today, huh Jojo?
Blossom: Don't play dumb with us. We know you got some evil plot under way.
Mojo's face twisted from confusion to anger as he sloped upside-down.
Mojo: What are you talking about?
Buttercup: Oh, like you don't have a giant robot ready to smash Townsville!
Mojo: No.
Blossom: No diabolical plan to destroy the world?
Mojo: No.
Bubbles: Turn everyone into zombies and scare people?
Mojo: NO!
Bolt: Make an army of monkeys and lead them to conquer humanity?
Mojo: For crying out loud, NO! I have no intention of committing any crimes. Today, the monkey idea does seem like a good idea though.
The kids crossed their arms not believing a word the monkey had said.
Bolt: Ok, then what have you been doing before we even got here?
Mojo: Sleeping!
Buttercup: Before that!
Mojo: Reading the paper!
Buttercup: Oh.
The room went silent when Bubbes spoke up.
Bubbles: Then before that?
Mojo's face palmed as he slowly dragged it down his face. He didn't have any more patience with these kids.
Mojo: For crying out loud! I was just listening to music! I wasn't doing any criminal activity today!
The kids finally realized that they were kinda in the wrong for crashing into his home and beating him up for no reason.
Blossom: Well… you better behave yourself or we'll be back!
Mojo rolled his eyes, they were the ones who crashed into his home. He should be the one telling them that.
Mojo: Goodness, I better not snore.
They weren't fond of his sarcastic comment, narrowing their eyes at him with a harsh glare.
Blossom: Let's go guys. He hasn't done anything… yet.
They left through the hole they made, leaving Mojo sitting upside down.
Mojo: Can't they just use the door for once. It's not that hard to kick it down.
The girls and Bolt arrived back home from Mojo's lair. They were embarrassed over the fact that Mojo was actually doing something evil. For young heros, it didn't really go down well for them.
Blossom: How embarrassing…
Bolt: Why did the mayor call us if Mojo Jojo wasn't even doing anything? What's so evil about reading the news?
Bubbles: Maybe he was reading about homeless people and laughing about it.
They then noticed the professor when they passed by. He was still standing in the same exact spot since they left still thinking he was put on hold.
Bolt: Professor? You're still on the phone!
They didn't have time to question this when the hotline once again buzzed for their attention.
Kids: The hotline!
Blossom quickly picks up the phone.
Blossom: Hello… Fuzzy Lumpkins is going on a rampage? Are you sure…. We're on our way!
She hung up and they all zipped out of the house. They flew through the sky towards the woods where Fuzzy Lumpkins took refuge.
Flying above the trees, the kids flew towards the lone cabin in the woods. Strumming his banjo was Fuzzy taking a nice, relaxing bath. He played a peaceful toon when he looked up into the sky before his eyes popped out seeing four figures coming down on him.
Blossom: Okey, Fuzzy! Prepared to get stomped!
The kids slammed into him making bath water flood onto the ground. Buttercup grabbed him by the collar and pulled him in front of her face.
Buttercup: This is for anything you broke!
She punched him in the face, knocking him out of the bath. He groaned in pain when he felt a tug on his antennae by Blossom.
Blossom: This is for anyone you hurt!
She snapped his antennas on his head, sending him in a daze.
Fuzzy: What…?
He was then grabbed by the legs dragged through the dirt by Bolt. He Fuzzy up into the air over his bath tub.
Bolt: Also this is for thinking of doing anything bad!
He slammed him back into the water, water flying into the air. Fuzzy couldn't process what was going on when Bubbles lifted his banjo over him.
Bubbles: And this is for taking a bath!
She hit Fuzzy on top of his head, submerging him in the bathtub. The kids realized what they were doing when they saw that Fuzzy was actually trying to take a bath.
Buttercup: I think he was taking a bath.
Bolt: Did we go a little too rough on him? We did interrupt him.
Bubbles: Is he, ok? I didn't hit him that hard, right?
Blossom: Um… we didn't mean to–
Coming out of the water, Fuzzy towered over the kids with heat of anger. His fur and eyes are now bloodshot. He snarled in anger looking down at the Powerpuffs below him.
Knowing they messed up, they tried to apologize to the now rageful fuzzy creature. They put on an innocent look which only angered Fuzzy even more.
Blossom: I guess you weren't going crazy after all. You were just taking a bath.
The children gave a nervous look as they quickly started back away.
Bolt: We'll be out of your furry head quickly. No hard feelings.
Turns out Fuzzy had only hard feelings because when they tried flying away he grabbed Bolt by the leg before he could even take off. He clenched him in his fist and breathed down onto him. Bolt gave a nervous chuckle.
Bolt: So… is it too late to say sorry about the bath?
He didn't get an answer as Fuzzy stretched his arm back and threw Bolt through the air sending him past the girls as they were flying away. He somehow landed back at home, crashing through the wall and hitting hard on the floor.
He coughed a little while turning around onto his back.
Bolt: I kinda deserve that. Ow.
The girls arrived back home a second later and the kids all sat down in the living room. Bolt tried to get
Buttercup: Strike two for the mayor!
Blossom: Yeah, first Mojo was innocent. Then Fuzzy Lumpkins is clean. What's next?!
Bolt slouched into the couch cracking a knick in his back. He thought for a second on why the mayor kept on calling if there wasn't any crime to be heard.
Bolt: Maybe we should ask what they're doing instead of just going immediately when the mayor says danger.
Blossom: That would be an easier solution than just jumping head first.
Once again, the hotline buzzed for an emergency. Blossom grumply got up from her seat and picked up the phone.
Blossom: Hello, Mayor.
They kept on talking and the conversation actually caught Blossom's concerns. She questioned the fake mayor's word which he all does confirm. Blossom sighs as she finally gives in and hangs up.
Buttercup: Is he pulling our leg again?
Bolt: If it's something dumb again I would rather stay home.
Blossom: Um… Bolt. I think this one's serious.
Bolt: How serious are we talking?
She floated over to him and whispered it into his ear. His eyes widened as his jaw dropped to the floor. It then slowly turned to anger with electric crackling around him. The girls looked at him with concern as the boy floated off the couch.
Bolt: Let's go… deal with this one.
Blossom: Are you sure, Bolt?
Bolt: Very.
He flew out of the house leaving the girls behind. Blossom quickly rushed after him, having Buttercup and Bubbles to both shrug and follow after.
A minute later in one of the top buildings in the city, someone was in their office typing onto the computers. They were then interrupted by the Powerpuffs smashing down through the roof, startling them. Bolt pointed his hand towards the person shouting towards them with vein.
Bolt: You?!
Buttercup widened her eyes, Bubbles hovered her hand over her mouth, both were surprised to see the person who supposedly was doing something evil.
The person behind the desk was a brunette woman in a suit. Her blue eyes locked onto the boy pointing at her. She looked startled to see her since they weren't really hadn't had the best of meating. Who is none other than, Electromizer!
Electromizer: Powerpuff Girl and Boy? What are you doing here?
Bolt stood up on her desk, looking down on her as she backed away in her chair.
Bolt: I want to know what you're doing. Are you trying to blow up this building or building another giant robot to destroy Townsville again? Tell me Electromizer!
Electromizer put her hand out in defense trying to look innocent.
Electromizer: I'm not doing anything! I was just working.
Bolt flew in front of face and gave her a suspicious stare down.
Bolt: Working to take over Townsville!
Electromizer denied his accusations, pushing him gently away.
Electromizer: I'm not doing anything of the sort. Since the fight we had and you destroyed my mech I've decided to change my ways. Start clean and fresh.
She scooted her seat back towards her desk. She signaled towards her plaque which had the words "manager" printed on.
Electromizer: The fight changed me. I wanted to change my way and this company gave me a chance. Now I'm able to help the city in any way possible and be the driving force to stop villainy in its tracks.
Bolt looked at her suspiciously with crossed arms. No one could change that fast, especially someone who tried to take over with an army of robots AND hurt his sister's.
Bolt: Uh-huh, right….
Electromizer: I know you don't believe me, but trust me. I will prove that I can change.
Blossom then cuts in front of Bolt as he was still giving her the same suspicious glare.
Blossom: So that's all you've been doing all day. Nothing evil?
Electromizer: Certainly not. I've just been helping Jeremy with accounting. He can be a hassle.
Blossom: …Well if there isn't anything going on we'll leave you back to your work.
The girls flew back through the hole Bolt made. Bolt snorted, flying after his sister when Electromizer called out to him.
Electromizer: Bolt! I hope you have it in your heart to forgive me for my miss deeds. Also, the name Elizabeth, I threw Electromizer out a long time ago.
Bolt didn't answer immediately as he flew up to a hole in the roof.
Bolt: I still don't trust you. One bad thing you do, I'd be the one who put you behind bars.
He then immediately left her, flying back home. Elect– Elizabeth sighs, leaning back in her seat, her face then contorted into a scowl.
Elizabeth: Gonna have to fix that hole in the roof now, but now to make a call.
She picked her phone up and dialed in a number. The call transferred through the telephone polls where it met its receiver in a blood red room. A phone rang through the room and a red claw picked it up.
?: Oh hello, Elizabeth. What pleasure do I have?
It was Elizabeth's master, the demonic demon, Him.
Elizabeth: Master, the Powerpuffs crashed into my office about some crime I didn't even commit.
Him: Hmm, that happened to both Mojo and Fuzzy Lumpkins. They're on the other line right now.
Elizabeth: May you put them on, Master.
Him clicked onto the other lines inviting in both Fuzzy and Mojo into the call. They both seemed as peeved as Elizabeth who all had to deal with the Powerpuffs crashing in when they didn't even do anything… today.
Fuzzy: I've been bushwhacked in my birthday suit!
Him: This is an outrage!
Elizabeth: Yes, Master. We all haven't done anything today and are being accused of stuff we didn't do. We're are our right!
Mojo: Yes! We're all citizens too! Evil citizens, but citizens none of the less.
Fuzzy: Birthday suit!
Fuzzy continued to cry about his interrupted bath. Elizabeth tried to call him down the giant pink fuzzball.
Elizabeth: Don't worry, Fuzzy. Those stupid Powerpuffs wont hurt you. Master, I think we should complain.
Mojo: But to who?
In the Town Hall, the Mayor's office could be seen trashed and littered with garbage. Pizza boxes everywhere, glass bottles, and furniture ruined by the Gangrene Gang.
Right now they were sleeping around the office. Ace, Grubber, and Snake sleeping on the couch, Lil Artuno was snoozing on the floor while Big Billy kept his hand on the desk.
The mayor's phone then rang into Billy's ear waking him up from his slumber. He picked up the phone and answered.
Billy: Helllooo?
On the line Him spoke in his demonic deep voice.
Him: I demand to speak with the mayor!
Billy: He's not here right now, can I take a message?
Big Billy: Uh...I don't know. See, Grubber tricked the Mayor into leaving so we could break in and use the Powerpuff hotline to make prank calls.
"Him": Huh?! You don't say. Well, to whom might I be speaking?
Big Billy: Uh, this is Billy.
Him: Billy who?
Billy: Big Billy from the Gangrene Gang. Who is this?
The call quickly hung up, confusing the Gangrene Gang member trying to get an answer. The door to the mayor's office was kicked down, waking up the rest of the gang. They gasped to see Him, Mojo, Fuzzy, and Elizabeth, now donning an electric pulse gun, in front of the door.
Him: So you like making prank calls.
They all jumped at the gang, Elizabeth firing an electrical shock at them, paralyzing them while Fuzzy and Mojo start beating them to a pulp.
Him grabbed Ace by the neck and slammed him onto the ground, reeling him back to do it again.
Elizabeth then used Articuno as a soccer ball and juggled him using her feet. She kicked him to Mojo who used Snake as a bat and him over to Fuzzy and caught him using Billy's stomach.
They continued to beat them up when the Mayor entered into the office. He saw how trashed his office was and saw the villains brawling it out. He sneaked over to the hotline and called up the Powerpuffs.
The kids were asleep in bed when they got the call from the hotline. Blossom turned over, too tired to get up.
Blossom: Bolt, can you get it.
Bolt groaned, rolling out of bed. He picked up the phone and gave a tired answer.
Bolt: Hello?
Mayor: Powerpuff Girl and Boy! It's an emergency! The Gangrene Gang, Mojo Jojo, Fuzzy Lumpkins, Him, and some lady are fighting right here in my office.
Bolt rubbed his temples thinking this one of the most ridiculous crimes the Mayor has called them for.
Bolt: Uh-huh and next thing your gonna say the Amebas are gonna join in. Good night, Mayor.
He hung up the phone and snuggled back into the bed with his sister. They went back to peacefully sleeping when the hotline rang again. Tired, Buttercup just used her heat vision to melt it down.
They happily return back to they're slumber not before giving a good night to their guardian.
Kids: Good night, Professor!
And the Mayor still thinks he was going to get any money.
Narrator: So once again the day is saved thanks too…
Instead of the kids it was the villains who saved the day.
Narrator: Mojo, Fuzzy, Him, and Elizabeth?
The End
