Chapter 2: Let there be Mandarkness!
Part one
The city of New Townsville, but enough about that… let's check up on Dexter
"Huh, what?" Dexter said as he woke up and looked around his room "How did I get here? Wasn't I in Professor Utoniums Laboratory?"
Suddenly there was a knock as his door
*Knock* *knock* *knock*
"Come in!" said Dexter
Suddenly a familiar long red haired pink eyed girl with a French maid outfit came in
"Good morning Master!" The maid happily pronounced
"BLOSSOM?" Dexter yelled in shock "What are you doing here and… why are you dressed like that?"
"Well because I wanted to give my master breakfast in bed." Blossom explained as she climbed on his bed slowly drawing closer and closer to Dexter "And well… because I… wanted to spend time with my master… and I…"
"Huh… uh… Blossom… I… uh… I…"
Suddenly Dexter's closet opened up and flying out came a young princess with brownish blonde hair and hair rings with bows on the sides of her head
"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?" The Princess roared "You aren't forgetting that you're my fiancé are you?"
"KASEY?"
Suddenly the boards on Dexter's floor broke apart revealing another girl with green eyes and purple hair wearing a black swimsuit with red horns on her head
"Wait a minute!" The devil girl called "You already agreed that your soul belongs to me!"
"BUTTERCUP?"
Then through his window an angel with Blonde pig tails and blue eyes appeared
"No, you can't!" The angel said "I promised to protect him with my life!"
"BUBBLES?"
Then out of nowhere a mermaid with a brown pony tail and glasses over her purple eyes appeared
"But I belong to master!" The mermaid explained "I shall grant his wishes!"
"BUNNY?" Dexter screamed then calmed down as he laughed and blushed as he got out of bed still in his underwear and calmed the girls down "I apologize ladies. Why don't I just make all five of you my wives, everybody okay with this happy plan right?
"Yeah!" Blossom cheered "Sounds good to me!"
"Fine, I guess." Kasey sulked
"Dexter, you naughty boy." Buttercup happily explained "You're always so selfish."
"Hey Dexter!" Bunny spoke as she stood next to the bed "Why don't we lie down together?"
"I'm sleeping next to Dexter!" Bubbles cheered
"NO FAIR!" Blossom cried
"I already chose that spot!" Kasey yelled
"Then I'll take this side." Buttercup explained
"Hey, but that's my spot!" Blossom cried again
"Oh my!" Dexter smiled and laughed as he blushed rubbing the back of his head "Oh what to do, what to do."
"It must be tough being popular with the ladies." A tall teen boy with a black bowl cut and a strange pair of glasses showed up making Dexter look at him and the bag he shoved in his face "Hey, how are you doing today? I'm with the Better Business Bureau! I'm here on behalf of some unhappy customers who'd like to return this bag of FARTS!"
"EEEW!" The girls all panicked and Dexter jumped in front wearing a trench coat and hat
"Run my lovely maidens, I'll meet you at the chapel on the outskirts of town." Dexter said as he stood firm "Thank you for all the time the five of us have shared, I'll never forget what we had… good bye my loves."
"RELAX, I'm not interested in those sexually promiscuous ladies, I'm here for something else." The boy explained then Dexter found himself inside a sack with his head sticking out "I FINALLY FOUND YOU, MY SWEET SCHNOOKUMS!"
"ME?"
"The golden pavilion in my heart is in flames and it's burning furiously out of control!"
"No stop it, stop it… YOU LEAVE ME NO CHOICE!"
Dexter began glowing as a yellow light and strong winds came around him making his hair rise up into the air as it turned into what look looked golden fire freeing him from his prison, SUDDENLY…
Back at the Utonium Labs
"QUICK, GIVE ME YOUR POWER SO I CAN CREATE A SPIRT BOMB!" Dexter screamed then put his glasses on to look around realizing he was back on the couch in the Professor's lab "… Uh…. Man, ah ha ha… glad no one was around to see that!"
"See what Dexter?" Ken asked as he looked from the back of the couch
"Ken! When did you?"
"I was here the whole time, I heard you mumbling in your sleep."
"Oh, uh… heh heh heh… sorry." 'CURSE YOU RAGING HORMONES!'
"It's okay…Huh… hey, what's that?"
"huh… what's… AAAHHH!"
"Huh… Dexter… uh why are you covering it up?"
"KEN, don't you ever mention this to anyone got it!"
"Huh?"
"Trust me, you'll understand when you're older… MUCH older."
"Uh… okay…" 'He's scary!'
"(Sigh) Good, now lets get dressed."
Dexter led Ken out of the room so they could meet the girls and the Professor later
Later that day in the main room
"(YAWN) Man, I'm tired." Dexter spoke as he rubbed his eyes while fixing his machine "Guess I woke up earlier then I thought, the maximum amount of required sleep was not met."
"Are you okay Dexter?" Blossom came with some breakfast she cooked for everybody
"I am now!" Dexter happily turned to the beautiful red head "So, is cooking one of your super powers too?"
"You're such a goof you know that?" Blossom teased as she laughed "So you didn't much sleep last night?"
"Yeah, I uh… had a weird dream."
"Really, what kind of dream?"
"Bet cha it was something perverted." Buttercup teased as she came up to Dexter turning his face red
"PERVERTED, you've got to be kidding me!" Dexter Screamed then regained his composure "Ahem, just so you know I was having a terrible nightmare in which a horrible looking angry ogress with purple hair and green eyes was determined to marry me and I had to beat her off with a stick just to protect myself."
"Man, are you an idiot or what?" Buttercup replied… three… two… one… "WAIT A MINUTE! ARE YOU TALKIN ABOUT ME?"
"About time you figured it out."
"WHY YOU!" Buttercup charged but was halted from behind by Blossom "When I get my hands on you I'm going to turn you inside out!"
Suddenly the groups attention all went to the Professor who was talking to an old yet very stern man with a white beard on his screen
"But Professor Protozoan!" The Professor pleaded "I gave you all that you wanted."
"Why are you always so evasive Utonium?" Protozoan glowered at him "The Science of Tomorrow Institute is watching you very closely and I hope that the allegations made against you are not true, you may be brilliant but you are still just a grunt who has yet to make progress or money on what I order."
"But sir, I already told you money isn't the answer and I've already did all you commanded."
"Even so, I don't want just results I want good results. What's the point of benefiting mankind if we can't benefit ourselves?"
"With all due respect sir." Dexter interrupted as he came up front to the screen "Isn't there a saying we all learn as children? "You can't take it with you." besides we benefit ourselves BY benefiting mankind isn't that the motto of the S.O.T.I.?"
"Well if it isn't Dexter, the insubordinate little punk who thinks he's better then everyone, you're on my list too."
"Maybe sir, but no matter what I refuse to go against my grandfathers wishes and my principles and I'd hope you would have at least a little audacity to respect that."
"…This conversation is over, I'll see you at the next meeting." The old man turned off the screen leaving Utonium sad but Dexter angry
"Who was that?" Bubbles asked
"That was Professor Protozoan, head scientist of the S.O.T.I." The professor explained
"Basically he's our boss." Dexter finished
"So does he have a problem with you two?" Bunny asked
"Well you see, Professor Utonium is a brilliant man but his research and technology is to help people not for profit. But without "The root of all evil" they refuse to see the point."
"That's not all, is it?" Blossom asked
"No, the professor is also accused of human experimentation which is highly offensive and is good enough reason to shut down Utonium labs and take away all his work."
"NO WAY!" Buttercup screamed "The Professor never experimented on humans, where's the proof?"
"There's five." Dexter said as he pointed to each of the girls "One… Two… Three… Four… Five…"
"WHAT?" all five girls yelled in shock
"No one is going to believe that some magical white lights came out of sky by accident and chose five young girls to give superpowers… not to mention all the human monsters and Bunny's condition."
"I…I had no idea." Blossom said then turned to Dexter "But what about you Dexter."
"I can make any thing I can think of, but there are things I'll always refuse to make."
"What do you mean?"
"They want me to make weapons…"
"But you make tools for law enforcement don't you?"
"Yeah, non lethal… but you don't understand… Grr."
"Huh?"
"They want weapons… of mass destruction."
"WHAT?"
"And sell it to the highest bidder. IT'S JUST A GAME TO THEM! If I do make them one some one will make a more powerful one, then someone will make another and they make another one and we keep going and going until we make one big enough to… ARGH I swear if the big guy upstairs doesn't end the human race we'll do it to ourselves, then how's all that money they wanted going to help us? I SWEAR I…"
"DEXTER PLEASE!" Blossom pleaded as she put her hands on his "Calm down… It's alright we'll figure something out."
"I…I'm sorry."
"Man, I had no idea." Buttercup sulked "Is there a way to change their minds?"
"Not unless it makes them richer. They say Greed is one of the most deadly sins."
"But you two and Ken are super brains!" Kasey cheered on "There has to be something you can do, right?"
"And that's why I'm here Kasey!"
"HUH?"
"I've been researching the white Z-Rays for some time now and I may have found something we all can use from it!" The Professor explained "You see the white Z-Rays can be concentrated and used for people."
"You want to give people super powers?" Bubbles asked
"Not exactly… Girls can you named all of your powers?"
"Um… lets see…" Blossom began "We have super strength, super speed, we're nearly invulnerable to almost anything, flight, weapons and we can see other peoples auras if they have one."
"Don't forget our individual powers Blossom!" Bubbles continued "You have ice breath, Buttercup has Laser Eyes and I have my Sonic Scream."
"Yeah, that's everything!" Buttercup finished "Bunny and Kasey don't have individual powers… at least not yet, they're still rookies."
"You girls are missing one." Ken stated as the girls looked at him "HEALING!"
"Huh?" all the girls asked in shock
"Think about it, after all the battles and fights you get in to none of you ever keep any cuts, scratches or bruises. You girls go through things that would kill almost anybody everyday and yet none of you have a single scratch of you. YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE ANY SCARS!"
"Hey, you may have a point there Ken." Buttercup began and lifted one of her pants legs above her knee "Before I became a PowerPuff Girl, I use to have a scar from my knee down to my ankle. Then after I became a PowerPuff it disappeared, which was strange because my mom and dad told me I had to see a special doctor to get rid of scars. Are you telling us that we can heal just about any injury?"
"Not just injuries, but sicknesses too!" Dexter proudly explained "Think about it, there are many sicknesses and diseases that don't have or ever will have cures."
"So you're saying that Chemical X, Chemical Z, and the White Z-Rays can perform miracles?" Bunny asked
"Exactly! For example Bunny, when ever you transform you don't need your glasses. That's because when you transform your eyes are healed."
"I never thought of that."
"But wait there's more!" The Professor continued "With the white Z-rays we may be able to cure those who have been infected with the Black Z-Rays curing them from their monster forms, that includes you Bunny!"
"I don't believe it!" all the girls spoke in shock
"In the words of a certain overrated ninja…" Dexter spoke "BELIEVE IT!"
"Can you really do it?" Blossom asked
"Of course, after all there are not one, not two, but three geniuses!" The Professor proudly proclaimed
"And if we put our minds together we can do ANYTHING!" Dexter screamed with an explosion in the background (Metaphor)
"And the S.O.T.I will never mock us and we will be at the top now and forever!" Ken called out as he joined the others in maniacal laughter
"AH HA HA HA HA HA!"
The girls all stood back and laughed nervously at the frantic men
"You'll get used to it…" Poochi explained
"Don't worry about them, they have work to do." Computress spoke up "You should be heading to school!"
The girls all looked at the time to confirm that the robot was right
"Oh, you're right!" Blossom said as she and the other girls all got their stuff and ran towards the door "See you later Dexy!"
"Okay, Blossom!" Dexter smiled as he waved back "Be careful!"
The girls all left and the men went back to work, suddenly The Professor looked at Dexter
"Something wrong Professor?" Dexter asked
"No nothing just…" The Professor began "Thinking about how you've changed since we first met you."
"Really?"
The Science of Tomorrow Institute… Five years ago
"There you have it folks…" An old man in the middle of a room full of people as they stared "Free Energy!"
The audience clapped as the old man left the room, once outside he was stopped by a young Professor Utonium with his wife and his four year old son
"That was very impressive Sir!" Professor applauded
"Thank you young Man!" The old man said "Oh my! What a handsome young boy!"
"Thank you!" Mrs. Utonium said as her son hid behind her leg "Say hello Ken."
"H…. Hewwo…" The young boy said
"So, you're the Utoniums eh?" The Old Man spoke "I know your father, how is he?"
"He… passed away… in a lab accident, six months ago." Professor Utonium explained
"Oh, how sad… He was a brilliant man."
"Yes, I own Utonium Labs now."
" Well good for you, I know it's in good hands!"
"Thank you sir."
The adults continued when suddenly they hear a commotion outside and went to the window to check only to see a strange yet amazing machine and a crowd of scientist around it
"I don't believe it!" The Professor yelled "Is that a E.M.P. wave accelerator?"
"Who built it?" His wife asked
"Ha ha ha ha ha!" The old man laughed "Why… Dexter built it of course."
"Who's Dexter?"
"My grandson! He's as brilliant as I am now, let go see him."
The group all went outside to see the machine and it's builder and to the Utonium's surprise it was a small red haired glasses wearing ten year old boy.
"Hey there Dexter!" The old man spoke
"Huh… oh… Hi Grandpa…" Dexter rudely spoke as he continued working on his machine
"Now Dexter, I told you to try to be nice."
"I am and as usual it doesn't work."
"(sigh) Fine, I want you to meet the Utoniums."
"Yeah, yeah hi."
The adults stood silent when suddenly they noticed Ken about to touch Dexter's Machine
"Ken!" Ms. Utonium called
"HEY HEY Don't touch, this is not a toy!" Dexter Yelled "Stupid kids shouldn't touch dangerous stuff like this, NOW BEAT IT!"
"I…I…" Ken began to grow teary "(Hic) … WWAAAAAHHH!"
"Oh come on stop, stop! Argh!" Dexter grew frustrated then turned to his watch and with the push of a button made a remote appear "Hey kid, look!"
Ken stopped crying as he looked on with amazement as a small UFO with lights flew around him
"Here you can play with it?" Dexter handed the remote of the device to the now happy Ken "I'm uh…. Sorry I yelled I just didn't want you to get hurt."
"Okay…" Ken said "I'm sowwy too."
"Don't worry about it… so what's your name?"
"Ken Kitazawa Utonium!"
"My name is Dexter and I'm ten, how old are you Ken?"
"I'm four, I'm going to be five next month."
"Cool." Dexter then turned to the adults "I'm sorry for my behavior."
"It's all right." Professor Utonium explained "I can tell you're not used to being around people."
"Hey look, it's that Dexter kid." One scientist said in the background "Sheesh what a punk."
"I know right." another scientist said "Just because his grandfather runs the place, he thinks he can waltz on in here."
"Last I check, My inventions work." Dexter talks back at the two "What have you done that's so great?"
The two scientist stormed off and growled as Dexter turned back to the machine
"I don't blame them for being jealous." Mrs. Utonium spoke
"Huh?" Dexter paused and looked back at the group
"Most of these scientist work hard and had to learn a lot to become what they are today." the Professor explained "But you just got your gift like nothing."
"That may be true but if they want to beat me and prove their worth, they'd DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, cussing at me won't do a thing except make them look stupid."
"I guess that's true."
"Now all I need is a 7/8th size wrench."
"This one Dexter?" Ken asked holding the wrench
"Thanks Ken, how did you know this was the wrench."
"Ken's our little helper!" Mrs. Utonium explained "Right Ken?"
"Really… do you want to help me Ken?"
"UH HUH!" Ken said as he put the toy down
"Excellent! So your birthday is in a month right? What would you like?"
Ken looked around and smiled as he saw a couple walking a dog
"Ken, I already told you." Ken's mom spoke "When you're older you can have a dog."
Ken sulked his head and Dexter put a had on his shoulder
"I'll get you something nice." Dex explained
"So what are you working on Dex?" His Grandfather asked
"I'm developing an Electro-Magnetic Pulse weapon."
"What's an Electro-Magnetic Pulse?" Ken asked
"An electromagnetic pulse (sometimes abbreviated EMP) is a burst of electromagnetic radiation. The abrupt pulse of electromagnetic radiation usually results from certain types of high energy explosions, especially a nuclear explosion, or from a suddenly fluctuating magnetic field. The resulting rapidly changing electric fields and magnetic fields may couple with electrical/electronic systems to produce damaging current and voltage surges."
"Huh?"
"A burst of energy that shuts things off."
"OH!"
"I'm using machine to make a pulse to see if I can concentrate it to make a new type of weapon to stop dangerous machines."
"What do you mean?" Prof. Utonium started
"Well, it is a form of energy and anything concentrated can be harmful especially a form of energy and if I can get it into a condensed laser it could work. That's my hypothesis!"
"Can that really work daddy?"
"It's possible." The professor answered "For example when you're hit with water from a water gun it tickles, a hose might hurt you and a fire hose can blow you away, but if enough pressure is there even water can blast through a rock."
"Exactly!" Dexter finished
"See Dexter?" His grandfather spoke up "Having friends isn't so bad!"
Dexter smiled and a beautiful friendship began
One Month Later at the Utonium's lab
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY KEN!" Ken's parents called out as friends and family cheered
Suddenly Dexter and his grandfather entered with a gift wrapped box and placed it in front of the Birthday boy
"Happy Fifth Birthday Ken!" Dexter spoke up
"Thank you Dexter!" Ken yelled with glee as he grabbed the box "What is it?"
"Open it up and push the button on top!"
Ken complied as he unwrapped the gift and push the button on top. Ken stood back as the lid on top lifted revealing…
"A DOGGY!" Ken shouted
"A robot dog!" His dad corrected
"Woof woof!" Said the small yellow and red machine
"It's my Pet optimum operating canine helping item!" Dexter explained
"HUH?" The whole crowd spoke
"uh… heh heh… The P.O.O.C.H.I… Poochi… okay!"
"Poochi? Cool!" Ken said as he lifted the robot
"It's playful, obedient, protective and best of all, leaves no surprises!"
Ken didn't listen as he played with the dog like a real one, tugging on towel Poochi was playing with
"But mostly, it's playful!" Dexter's grandfather finished as the whole group laughed and smiled at Ken and his present
"You knew about this, didn't you?" Mrs. Utonium spoke to her husband
"Well… you see… yeah!" The Professor explained "We both know Ken is too young to take care of a real pet so Dexter and I both worked on Poochi as a companion for him."
"Oh… hee hee… good!" Mrs. Utonium kissed her husband then turned to her son "So, now you have your own little helper Ken!"
"YEAH!" Ken shouted
"Ruff ruff!" Poochi barked
The two continued to play with Dexter and the adults talked out of the way
"So, what did you want to talk to us about?" the Prof. asked
"It's about my Company." The old man started "My grandson and I will change it to Dex Labs, I won't live forever and I know my grandson regardless of his age will run the company like I would never regret."
"He is a very capable boy."
"When something happens I want you to help him when he needs it!"
"Anything for a friend of my father."
"I may be old, but I'm your friend too."
The two shook hands and the day went on without a hitch
Utonium Labs… present time
"I guess…you're right." Dexter blushed "Do you think my grandpa would be proud of me?"
"He was and he will always be." The professor explained making Dexter smile
Part 2
The girls science class final period
The girls were mixing harmless chemical, when suddenly they noticed Princess in a bit of a slump.
"What's the matter Princess? Blossom asked
"Oh nothing…" Princess answered "We had a visitor at the Manor this morning. Believe it or not he's just a kid that owns a robotics company."
"HUH?… (Is she talking about Dexter?)… So this kid did he have glasses and red hair?"
"No, he had glasses and black hair in a bowl cut, he was really tall and skinny and he was totally creepy. He was talking with my parents about a merger or partnership or something. But when it was over…"
Flash back
"So you're Princess Morbucks, correct?" The young man asked
"Yes I am." Princess answered with Sapphire in her arms "So what?"
"Oh nothing, I understand that you and your sister will run the Morbucks Business someday."
"That's right… and I will do everything in my power to prove that I can take it further."
"Good for you, well I better be going."
"Okay, nice meeting you." 'What a Creep!'
"Oh by the way… I'd be careful if I were you."
"Why do you say that?"
"Because if your other self is ever exposed, you could lose everything you're working so hard for… Oh well good bye."
The young man left the building leaving Princess stunned and confused, it was as if she knew what he was taking about but at the same time she didn't
"My… other self…" Princess said to herself "Do you know what he means Sapphire?"
"Meow." Sapphire spoke leaving Princess more concerned
Present time in the Science class
"And that's what happened." Princess explained " I don't know why but I can't get it out of my head ooh."
'Her other self?' Blossom thought as she continued mixing chemicals 'Does he know about her monster form? Nah, it couldn't be… could it?'
"Forget it, so tell me about you." Princess cheered up "About that boy we all saw the other day."
"Huh, you mean Dexter?"
"Yeah, so is he officially your boyfriend yet?"
*POOF!*
"WHAT?" Blossom yelled as she accidentally mixed the wrong chemicals making a cloud of smoke "NO NO HE'S UH JUST UH UH A FRIEND THAT'S ALL!"
"Come on Blossom we all saw him with out his glasses and we all know how you are with boys. Don't tell me you haven't made a move yet."
'She's right, I like Dexter but I want him to like me and… he… he wants to be my friend and… I don't want to I ruin that.'
"Hello Earth to Blossom!"
"Oh, sorry… it's just I'm trying not to rush it."
"I see… That's good, just don't take too long."
"What do you mean?"
"If you wait too long, someone might pull the rug under you and take him a way from you."
"Oh really now, humph!"
*Ding Dong, Dong Ding*
"All right class!" The male science teacher called "See you all tomorrow!"
The girls all packed their things and began walking out of the class room
"Oh Princess!" Blossom called out "Thanks!"
The girls all left to get back to the lab, but as Bubbles, Buttercup and Bunny talked Blossom was falling behind lost in thought, when suddenly she was interrupted by a tall and very skinny young man with a black hair in a bowl cut, and glasses
"Excuse me…" The young man spoke to Blossom "Are you one of Professor Utonium's assistants?"
"Yes, I am." Blossom answered "Can I help you?"
"Yes, my friend Dexter is visiting him, I need you to give him a message for me."
"Okay." Blossom said as she took the note
"Thank you, Ms. Blossom. I must be going now, good bye."
"Okay, see you later." The two went their separate ways, suddenly Blossom stopped and realized something amiss 'Wait a minute… how did he know my name? Not only that, I thought Dexter didn't have any friends… wait… a tall and skinny young man with glasses and black hair in a bowl cut… nah it couldn't be.'
"MS. BLOSSOM!" Bunny called "Hurry up, we're heading for the lab."
"COMING!" Blossom called back as she rushed to her friends
Later at the lab
"(SIGH) I think it's time for a break." Dexter said as he put his wrench down and sat of the floor, suddenly his eyes were covered by familiar hands
"Guess who!" a voice sang teasing Dexter
"Um… Selena Gomez?"
"SELENA GOMEZ?"
"Ha Ha Just kidding Blossom."
"Real funny Dexter…"
"So how was your day?"
"Okay, I was talking to Princess Morbucks and she told me something interesting."
"Morbucks, as in the family that owns the Morbucks company?"
"Yeah, she's my classmate in some of my classes."
"Is she cute?"
"Well she… HEY!"
"Sorry ha ha ha just joking, so what happened?"
"Humph… well she told me that some guy who owns a robotics company came to merge with theirs."
"Wasn't me."
"I know, he was another boy with glasses but with black hair in a bowl cut."
"W-what?"
"I met him after school and he said he was your friend, do you know him?"
"I know him, but he's no friend of mine."
"He asked me to give you this note."
Dexter took the note and read it making his eyes shrink, he then crumbled the paper then turned to Blossom with a fake smile.
"What is it Dexter?" Blossom asked with worry
"It's nothing." Dexter said "He just want me to meet him somewhere."
"DEXTER… I told you there no need for secrets, I want you to trust us… I want you to trust me."
"I do Blossom, believe me I do!"
"Then tell me, who is he and why did you freeze?"
"He's… His name is Mandark the owner of Mandark Industries, we have a bit of a history together."
"Mandark?"
" Blossom, I promise I'll be fine! Okay?"
"O… Okay, Dexter."
Dexter smiled as he left he room and the building, leaving Blossom to worry as she knew she should go but couldn't
"You're going to follow him any way aren't you?" Computress Spoke up making Blossom look at the female robot
"I want to but…" Blossom answered
"Blossom listen… Dexter is happy to know that there are people like you out there in the world and he appreciates that he met someone like you. You make him feel… needed."
"Computress!"
"And I'm sure you feel the same way."
"Yeah, thanks Computress!… I'm going to tell the other girls to help."
Blossom and Computress went into the rooms where the other girls were and they made plans
Later at the park
Dexter sat on a bench near the fountain waiting patiently to meet with Mandark. But unknown to Dexter, Blossom managed to follow him and not be noticed as she talked too her compact
"I found him." Blossom spoke to her compact
"Okay, be careful Blossom." Buttercup said on screen
"I will and tell Kasey it'll be okay."
Blossom closed her compact then suddenly the boy she met earlier, Mandark, appeared making Dexter rise from his seat
"I'm here!" Dexter explained "And I came alone."
"Good, good!" Mandark spoke "You know why I'm here?"
"No, I don't."
"I've been watching… and listening."
"Humph."
"Those white Z-rays sound interesting, do you know what I would do with them."
"Use them for yourself of course."
"Precisely, I would not only be a genius but unstoppable as well. Not only that I could give the Z-rays to the highest bidder."
"Money and Power? That's all you think about?"
"Of course Dexter, you know your silly dreams of a better world will never come true."
"My dreams are not silly and they will come true, I have hope for this failing human race."
"Get it through your thick head, the only thing the human race is good for is destroying itself. Even if you do make the world a better place, there will be people who will stop at nothing to cause pain and suffering again for a reason… or maybe… no reason at all."
"What reason is that… SUSAN?"
"DON'T YOU EVER CALL ME THAT AGAIN… But there will be reasons, just not good, just or reasonable."
"Mandark listen, this rivalry of ours has gone on long enough. Why can't you see that the worlds problems can not be solved by an iron fist? It's true that good and evil must always coexist but if there's away to prove it wrong I'm going to find it, that's why I love science, it's about understanding and solving and it's always changing and improving and I believe science can make the world a better place if we learn to cooperate and use it to it's fullest. Especially when we use it right."
"… Phhhhht… HA HA HA you just don't get it Dexter, Not only will I not join you but I also don't see your dream ever coming to reality considering the ever decreasing intelligence of the human race."
"(Sigh) I knew you wouldn't understand, so tell me what is it you really want."
"I want… TO RULE THE WORLD! That way the world will truly be a better place and those who try anything will be punished… severely. Best of all everyone will know who is the true superior being on this planet
AH HA HA, AH HA HA HA HA…AH HA HA, AH HA HA HA HA!"
Meanwhile in the bushes Blossom was listening
'And I thought Mojo Jojo was crazy.' Blossom thought to herself 'This guy is just plain NUTS.'
"By the way Dexter." Mandark continued "Once I take over I'll make sure you're never alone, I'll have people suffer next to you."
"I'm not alone Mandark." Dexter explained
"Dexter, you know as well as I do that no one will accept you. You're too smart for your own good and no matter what you can't hide it."
"…"
"Or are you thinking about that red head I saw you with, Blossom was it? Very good catch, she's very pretty I will admit… so tell me what's she using you for?"
"Grrr… Blossom's not like that…"
"Oh come on Dexter, you're suppose to be smart. You know that people who are too smart are destined to be alone, you're a curse and to everyone around you, you are only to be used not loved."
"…"
"Face it your own family doesn't acknowledge you, so why should some stranger let alone a girl?"
"You're right… maybe I am destined to be alone… but then again, I have the Utoniums as friends and Blossom accepts me for who I am, NOT what I can do… anybody can have friends Mandark… even you."
"I don't need friends, all they do is get in the way and when they're done with you they throw you out like trash, it's only a matter of when."
"Are you done? I know what you're after and I don't have it."
"That's okay, cause you're going to get it for me."
"Over my dead body!"
"Don't you mean over her dead body."
"AHH Put me down!" Blossom screamed as she was picked up by one of Mandarks robots
"BLOSSOM!" Dexter screamed at her then turned to Mandark "Your note said no robots and I came alone, I didn't even know she was here."
"I believe you Dexter." Mandark explained with a smirk "I just don't trust you, ROBOT TAKE OFF HER BELT and prepare to teleport back to the ship."
Another robot grabbed Dexter as the other robots complied and the whole group all disappeared
Later back at the big air ship high in the sky
Dexter and Blossom were thrown behind bars as Mandark laughed and taunted them. They grabbed the bars and tried to reach for Mandark now with his vampire like cape and his robot guards as he held Dexter's watch and Blossom's belt.
"Mandark!" Dexter growled "YOU DIRTY LITTLE SON OF A…"
"Now now Dexter." Mandark interrupted "Not in front of a lady."
"Why are you doing this?" Blossom asked
"Simple my dear." Mandark answered "In order to gain more power you have to get rid of something more powerful, namely you."
"What do you mean?"
"Months ago Dexter made plans to stay with the Utoniums, once this information was heard I came to New Townsville and decided to do some research on what makes this town so special. And I found it, The Utonium Labs, the monsters and most of all… you and the other PowerPuff Girls!"
"Huh, what are you talking about? I'm just an ordinary school girl, I'm not a Powerpuff."
"Don't play dumb, I know all about you, your friends Bubbles, Buttercup and Bunny as well as that precious sister of yours…. Kasey was it or was it Bloom."
"What?"
"I have been studying you very carefully for months now, so you'd better watch yourself or else.
"Or else what?"
"It'd be a shame if something happens when big sister can't protect Kasey. You know maybe someone can come in to her room or attack her while she's at school, what would you do then big sis?"
"Grrr… if you so much as lay a finger on my Kasey… I'LL MAKE YOU WISH YOU WERE DEAD, YOU LITTLE…"
"Blossom calm down!" Dexter said as he grabbed Blossom's sides to calm her down "So you know everything about them Mandark?"
"Of course." Mandark smugly answered "If I wanted to I could destroy them when they're at their weakest, but where's the fun in that?"
"FUN? You call destroying and causing suffering… FUN?"
"Precisely, I'd rather humiliate them first and once they're out of the picture the monsters will be next. First maybe that cute Annie girl also known as Sadusa then maybe Princess Morbucks, hmmm can you imagine what would happen if their friends and families found out."
"What do you mean?"
"No one would trust them and everything they worked for will either be taken away or lost, their only choice will be to run and once they're caught they have no choice but to become test subjects for the process of human evolution."
"YOU CAN'T!" Blossom screamed "It's not their fault they're monsters."
"So what, when the time comes you'll be tested too. After all you and your friends are the reason why the Utoniums are accused of Human Experimentation, then again none of you are human anymore."
"What are you talking about?"
"You can fly, survive in space, go at super sonic speed, heal any injury, materialize weapons out of thin air, you're stronger then a hundred men, you're practically indestructible, each of you have individual powers and worse of all… you're all getting stronger. Humph, but I digress… this belt of yours will prove useful as soon as I unlock all it's secrets, after that… I'll unlock all your secrets."
"(GASP)"
"DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH HER?" Dexter screamed as Blossom hid behind him
"Aw isn't that cute." Mandark teased "I might change my mind if Dexter gives up his Nurotomic Protocore."
"…Never…"
"Oh well, enjoy your time in your cell." Mandark began walking away "Oh and Dexter it's too bad that cutie doesn't know you like I do, oh well for now I bid you ado."
"Mandark?" Blossom called making Him stop and look "Even though I can do things nobody else can… I'M STILL MORE HUMAN THEN YOU'LL EVER BE!"
"How cute. But we'll see soon won't we? Bye."
Mandark left the two alone behind bars with a robot guard who had it's back turned to them
BZZZZZAP!
Suddenly Dexter had a hidden taser and zapped the robot making it fall over and shut down
"He may have my watch." Dexter explained as he picked the lock and opened the bars "But I always carry a little something just in case."
Dexter looked out the bars to see if the coast was clear then like a gentleman escorted Blossom as she went first. Dexter then spotted the camera and with a mini-computer he had in his pocket, pulled out a wire and began hacking to hide their escape
"Now to cover our tracks!" Dexter explained as he continued
"Um… Dexter?" Blossom began
"Yes Blossom?"
"What did Mandark mean when he said that I don't know you like he does?"
"Well…" Dexter stopped then suddenly continued "He means how much we have in common."
"Don't let him get to you like that."
"What do you mean?"
"You don't have to hide all your secrets, we're your friends and I can tell you're a good person."
"B-Blossom I…"
"You want to change the world right, well I believe you can do it and we all can be happy."
"Blossom! Thank you! *Beep* All right, we can walk around and not be caught."
"Way to go Dex! Now let teach Mandark a lesson."
"Yeah!"
"By the way Dex… What's a Nurotomic Protocore?"
"Well… I'll explain later, right now we have to get out of here."
"Um… okay."
Blossom led the way as Dexter stared at her from behind
'Blossom is truly amazing.' Dexter thought to himself 'I can tell she's very sincere… maybe… maybe she's too good for me… dah whatever she's my friend and I will protect her!'
Dexter caught up to Blossom and led the way to Mandark's control room. Once they found the room and entered on the higher deck where Mandark had them trapped with robots on his sides and by the door they came in aiming their weapons and behind Mandark's back were wires attached to Blossom's compact as it was scanned by the computer
"Nice try Dexter." Mandark teased "Now what are you going to do?"
"I guess I have no choice." Dexter said as he revealed a holo-scanner in his hand.
"Dexter is that?" Blossom asked
"Yeah, but before I use it I just want to say one thing." Dexter said as he turned to Blossom bowed and clapped his hands above his head "I APOLOGIZE IN ADVANCED!"
"Huh?"
"GO HOLO-SCANNER" Dexter Called out as he threw the robotic eye bell which then suddenly stopped in front of Mandark "Emergency protocol code: Delta!"
"Ha that won't stop me!" Mandark teased then the eye formed the head of a girl with Blonde pig tails and bright blue eyes "Huh, is that?"
"HI DEXTER" The hologram of the girls head spoke "Ooh I see you got the new camera, so why don't you take a picture of my whole body?"
"IT'S DEEDEE!" Mandark froze as the hologram slowly formed the rest of Dee dee's body as it spoke
"Well Dexter…"
"what the?"
"What do you think of it?"
"OH…"
"Do you like my new…"
"MY"
"BIKINI!"
"GOOOOOOOOOOD!"
*3... 2... 1... Blast off!*
Mandark screamed as he took off like a rocket into the ceiling and with a loud *BONG* hit it head first and then *CRASH* landed onto the floor of the lower deck of the control room
"Oh DeeDee!" Mandark spoke in a daze with hearts in his eyes "My love!"
"Master!" Robots on the upper deck called to him but to no avail "Are you alright sir?"
"You two need to worry about yourselves!" Dexter called out as he pulled out a wrench bashed one robot's head off, zapped the other robot with it's laser and grabbed Blossom's compact and threw it back to her "Care to do the Honors?"
"Don't mind if I do." Blossom explained as she but her belt back on "Hyper Blossom!"
"Can you keep them off me while I work?"
"No problem."
Dexter began working his magic on Mandark's computer as Blossom took out all of Mandark's robots causing explosions all over the ship
"Oohh what?" Mandark said as he got up hearing the alarms "What's going on?"
"Sir the PowerPuff girl is destroying the ship." One robot explained
"WHAT? STOP HER YOU FOOLS!"
"We can't, she's too powerful."
"Grr… wait, where's Dexter?"
"Up here Susan!" Dexter called from the control panel "and I have a surprise for you."
Dexter pushed a button and more alarms went off
"Warning, Warning!" A computer voice called "Teleportation sequence activated… co-ordinates set for Latitude 90 degrees North and Longitude 165 degrees West, Altitude 10,000 feet below sea level."
"What the…?" Mandark thought then realized what Dexter had done "YOU SET THE CO-ORDINATES TO THE BOTTOM OF THE PACIFIC OCEAN?"
"Well yeah." Dexter teased "And unless you want to get crushed by the pressure after the teleportation mangles your molecular structure, I suggest making haste"
"Grr Robots prepare my escape pod!"
"Yes sir." The robots complied
"This isn't over Dexter, I SHALL RETURN!"
"And I'll be waiting." Dexter teased again 'Now to find a way out.'
"DEXTER!" Blossom called as she reentered the room "What's going on?"
"The ships about to disappear with us in it."
"No problem, hang on."
"Hey wait!"
Blossom grabbed Dexter and lifted him like a damsel, she then blew her ice breath to the ceiling and broke through to freedom where from a safe distance they saw the ship change different colors and in a giant…
*FLASH*
The ship disappeared leaving nothing but them and Mandark in a small pod as it slowly flew away.
"Should we stop him?" Blossom asked
"No leave him, he can't hurt us now." Dexter explained then blushed at the way Blossom was carrying him "Um… do you think you can carry me a different way?"
"Why hee hee I like carrying you like this!"
"I know, it's just that if Buttercup sees me like this I'll never hear the end of it."
"Guess you're right Tee Hee!"
Blossom put Dexter on her back and the two flew back to the lab
Later on shore by New Townsvile
"DARGH! Curse to Dexter!" Mandark ranted outside of his crashed pod "I'll get you yet!… Someday, you and those PowerPuff girls will pay."
"It seem we both have common enemies." A voice called making Mandark look
"Who's there?… (Gasp) It's you… Mojo Jojo!"
"That's right, and I know all about you Susan Astronominov or should I call you the Monarch of Darkness."
"Mandark will do… what do you want?"
"You have the ability to gain access to technology I can only dream of."
"Oh I get it… well you do have quite a knack for building robots for battle, I'm impress."
"Thank you."
"So what do you really want?"
"Like you I want the world, but we have the same obstacles in the way."
"You mean Dexter and the PowerPuff Girls, I get it."
"So… do we have a deal?"
"I believe we do."
The two shook each others hands as they gave themselves evil grins and through the night all that could be heard was their sinister laughter
Later back at the lab
The group all sat around the table as they listened to Blossom and Dexter's adventure on Mandark's ship
"I'm glad you and Dexter are okay sis." said Kasey
"Cheep!" Bullet chirped
"Don't worry you two." Blossom patted them on the heads
"Sound like you had quite the adventure Ms. Blossom." Bunny explained
"But the important thing is you're both safe." Bubbles cheered
"I can't believe we missed all the action." Buttercup complained
"Unfortunately Mandark will be back." Dexter explained as he grabbed his can of soda
"That reminds me Dexter." Blossom squinted and glared at Dexter "That hologram of the girl, who was it?"
"HUH WELL UH YOU SEE UH…" Dexter shook nervously "I told you I had a sister right?"
"Yeah."
"That was her and well Mandark kind of has a thing for her a heh heh heh."
"I see.. (sigh) okay."
"Phew… listen I said I was sorry, I just kept that hologram of my sister for just in case."
"In a Bikini?"
"uh… a heh heh heh…"
"Dexter don't worry about it… but next time you want a hologram of a girl in a bikini… you could just ask me."
"WHAT?"
*SPRAY*
Dexter opened his shaken can of soda, soaking him head to toe. The group all stared and then the whole room busted out in laughter, even Dexter laughed. They were safe and they were happy and nothing could ruin it… however tomorrow was another day!
To be continued!
Authors notes: Phew, first off I'm sorry if anyone found this chapter boring, but I wanted to focus on Dexter. The perverted dream at the beginning… COME ON… a teenage boy hanging around not one not two but FOUR very pretty teenage girls (and a loli) it's bound to happen sooner or later, I got the idea from the anime Ninja nonsense (2x2 Shinobuden) LOL... Wow, this is turning into a Harem Anime. Second I hope you like how I made the first meeting of Dexter and the Utoniums as well as a little story origin of Poochi. More to come!
News: I can't describe it, but I'll try... Butch Hartman, Craig McCracken and Laura Faust are all working on two New series for Cartoon Network. Check on a search engine or look at Topix(Dot)com for Powerpuff girls X and Dexter's Lab force! But there still no News on PPGZ's American release or any redub $#!*. However 2012 is looking pretty promising for CN. Have you heard of DC Nation? It's no Toonami but I love it, though I'm still not sure about "Beware the Batman"
Next chapter: Two stories in one, first something wicked this way comes and it drives Dexter and the Girls up the walls. And second Mojo and Mandarks plan goes into action, but once the girls and Dexter appear nothing can go wrong… Right?
TTFN… Taa tah for now!
