Grasshopper: Struggling through bravery…the fight for liberation
Driver: Bubbles
Age: 12
Vehicle: The Utonium Hopper
Vehicle Description: Bubbles didn't have access to any vehicles, so the Professor offered to let her use family car. With some new modifications, the car has had a touch with increased speed, turning capability, and other goodies. However, what it makes up for in power it lacks in size. Including the new modifications to make it easy to handle for Bubbles, the Professor also utilized (at Bubbles request) the Pogo Stick Engineering for the Harmony Bunny Pogo Stick. Using them as super hydraulics and building a homing system, Bubbles was now able to slam into nearby opponents as the push of a button.
Middle:
I was asleep for a long time…and for a while, it was all black, and I was scared…but then, I started having these dreams…
I was dreaming of all the scary monsters we had faced in the past…and of all the monsters we had faced, there was one villain, one thing that happened a while back…
I'll never forget it…
We were going up against H.I.M. and he was reigning horror across Townsville.
Me and my sisters went in, but his shadow plagued the entire city, and the sky above was blood red. His spawn of evil and bad things was all around, and it almost seemed entirely dark.
When we got into the city, we were instantly separated. All I could see was black, and all I could hear was his taunting laughter, prodding at my fears!
He wouldn't stop! He began throwing different monsters at me, each scarier than the last, and soon, I couldn't take it…my heart was going too fast…I screamed, but nothing came out…nothing!
When I woke up, it was bright again, and I was in the park.
Blossom and Buttercup were standing in front of me. Apparently, H.I.M. had taken off. He disappeared after sensing some sort of urgent emergency at the underworld's hospital.
Blossom and Buttercup seemed different somehow, more serious…and scary.
It was like they had been born again, braver and much more powerful than before, and there I was, teardrops practically leaving my eyes, scared to death that something bad was gonna happen…but it didn't, and we headed home…
Since that day, I knew that I had to be braver. I knew that I had to become a stronger fighter to help out my sisters…I mean, what would they need a scaredy cat like me for…nothing…
Editor's Note:
H.I.M.'s abrupt exit was referenced to an idea by Bleedman's "Grim Tales from Down Below", on whichI do not own.
