Fire, Earth and Water

Take Action
Brick, Butch and Boomer sat in front of a laptop in the kitchen of the hotel. On it was their mentor and stepfather, Professor Utonium. When the Professor had first brought them back, they were furious. Angry at the Powerpuff girls for defeating them and wanting revenge. After the Professor eventually calmed them down, he told them the first shocking news. Mojo Jojo their 'father' and creator was dead. He died fighting the Powerpuff girls. This quieted the three rowdy boys. They were never exactly in love with Mojo Jojo. But he was the only father that they knew. The only person who had come close to ever caring for and about them. Now he was gone. Then Brick asked Professor Utonium a very good question. If the Powerpuff girls killed their father, what reason was there for them to not kill the Powerpuff girls' father? This question had caught the Professor off guard. Also it surprised the other two boys. But Professor Utonium explained that revenge wouldn't bring Mojo Jojo back and also that the girls were no longer a part of the mobile living. This was a second blow for the three boys. The Powerpuff Girls dead? The Professor then told them everything and after listening the three Rowdy Ruff Boys actually felt sorry for the girls. Then the Professor told them that he needed them to help him destroy Earth. At first this horrified the boys. But after listening to the Professor's side, they understood why Earth and God Abba deserved to be destroyed. Earth hadn't even done anything good for them anyway. And this God Abba. They definitely wanted the pleasure of getting rid of him. Plus Professor Utonium explained to them that he had everything prepared for them when they succeeded. After hearing the Professor out, they didn't care if repercussions caused them to move to the moon. They were going to help the Professor and get rid of God Abba. No matter who or what they had to destroy.
"So you got attacked by minions of God Abba, did you?" Professor Utonium asked and the boys nodded, "and the one called Earth has a spear that when it cuts you, you can't heal quickly?" he asked again.
"Yeah," Butch responded.
"I believe that I can do some research and find a way to combat that spear," Professor Utonium told them, "but I will need some time," he said seriously.
"Um Professor," Boomer said softly, "are you sure that our sisters are dead?" he asked.
Everyone was surprised at this. Never had the Rowdy Ruff Boys refer to the Powerpuff girls as their sisters. They had learned to accept Professor Utonium as their new father. But they still saw the Powerpuff girls as three totally different girls, completely unrelated to them. At least until now.
"Sisters?" Professor Utonium asked in surprise, "I've never heard any of you refer to my deceased girls as your sisters," he pointed out, "but since you are now my sons, then I guess yes they're your sisters," he said, "but why are you questioning their death's?"
"We saw three girls who kind of remind us of them," Brick decided to tell him.
Professor Utonium's face lost its colour.
"Fire, Earth and Water," Professor Utonium whispered.
"What?" Butch asked.
"Boys," Professor Utonium said firmly, "you have to destroy those three," he told them.
"Destroy them?" Boomer asked confused, "but aren't you going to check out why they resemble…."
"Boomer, God Abba can do a lot of things," Professor Utonium reminded him, "these three females have been around for a while," he continued, "plus they're varying ages," he pointed out, "why would God Abba both with such a thing with my girls?"
"Good point," Brick agreed, "sounds like a lot of unnecessary work," he added.
"It is," Professor Utonium confirmed, "these three females are each very different," he said, "Earth is the protector of Earth, she's the biggest threat since she can sense when Earth's beings attacked," he told them, Water is supposed to be peaceful, but she also has powers and strength that will be a threat to us," he said seriously, "and fire, I don't know much about her," he admitted, "I'm surprised that she's even involved," he said honestly.
"What do you know about her?" Brick pressed.
"I know that she's an isolated soul," Professor Utonium started, "and she likes being isolated," he told them, "she's not into company and where she lives only fire and ash thrives there besides herself and of course the volcanoes."
"Volcanoes!" the three boys cried in incredulous unison.
"What kind of horrible place has that Abba guy placed her?" Brick demanded and he looked and sounded angry.
"Brick," Professor Utonium said slowly, "you cannot become attached to any of these girls," he told Brick, "she might remind you just physically in some very slight way of Blossom," he said, "but she's not her."
"She's smart too you know," Brick told Professor Utonium, "and I know that she's not as anxious like that Earth woman to destroy us," he added.
"But all the same…" Professor Utonium said, his voice getting louder as his face got redder.
"That Earth woman reminds me of Buttercup," Butch interrupted, "well in attitude."
"And that Water lady reminds me of…" Boomer started to say.
"Those minion bitches are NOT my girls!" Professor Utonium exploded suddenly, "those things are of God Abba and God Abba alone!" he shouted, "I will hear no more of this," he concluded angrily.
"But…" Boomer tried to say.
"No more!" Professor Utonium roared silencing Boomer."
"Okay," Brick said after a moment of silence, "we won't say anything more about them being our sisters," he conceded.
"Thank you," Professor Utonium said after calming down, "I'm sorry for my outburst it's just…" he apologized but stopped.
"It's okay," Brick said, "we just wanted to ensure that those girls weren't them."
"They're not," Professor Utonium assured them, "God Abba would probably have made millions of them by now if he wasn't conserving his power since our invasion."
"But why didn't he do it before?" Boomer questioned.
"Shhh," Butch hissed and shoved Boomer harshly.
But Professor had a completely blank look upon his face. Then he became fully conscious again and looked at Boomer.
"You have a point there Boomer," Professor Utonium said, "for some reason while I could create programs to attack and repel most of the things that could assist him, I couldn't do anything to them."
"But they're still not our sisters," Brick pressed.
Professor Utonium rested a palm on his forehead and sighed.
"I don't…" Professor Utonium started but stopped, "I'm not absolutely sure anymore," he admitted.
"You mean that we might be destroying your…?" Butch started to ask.
"They're not Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup anymore," Professor Utonium blurted out tearfully, "I strapped them to the machine," he said as he sobbed, "I put their minds into that virtual world without taking everything into consideration."
"You didn't know that Mojo Jojo would've been that strong," Brick insisted, "you told us yourself before sending us there that there's the basic risk of something happening to us here causing our destruction therefore destroying our minds," he said.
"And leaving our bodies back in reality with the Professor," Butch said softly as he looked at his feet.
""We'll made it back Butch," Boomer told his brother after resting a hand on his shoulder.
"Everyone's supposed to always come back," Butch said and it was obvious that talk of the possibility of not surviving in this virtual world was getting to him.
"You will come back," Professor Utonium said firmly, "never stop believing that," he told Butch.
"Yeah," Butch said but still didn't sound confident.
"Wuss," Brick muttered.
"Brick!" Professor Utonium reproached while Boomer gasped.
Butch meanwhile looked at Brick incredulously.
Then he got angry.
"Who you calling wuss, you….wuss," Butch snapped.
"Great comeback genius," Brick said sarcastically.
"You're not so smart!" Butch shouted.
"Butch, Brick, please," Professor Utonium pleaded.
"Smarter than you!" Brick shouted back.
"No you're not!" Butch shouted at Brick.
"Then how come you think I was serious?" Brick demanded in response.
"Because you're...!" Butch started but stopped, "what?"
"I just said it to get you back," Brick explained, "come on, we all know that Bommer is the wuss," he added.
"Hey!" Boomer cried in offence.
"Brick," Professor Utonium warned.
"I was only kidding, I'm sorry," Brick apologized.
"Hmmph," Boomer said.
"Just accept his apologizing yah big baby!" Butch ordered.
"Butch," Professor Utonium said.
"I'm not a baby," Boomer said tearfully, "you're both just…just mean!" he cried then started bawling.
"Oh come on!" Butch shouted.
"Stop being a baby Boomer, we were just teasing," Brick said.
"Not me," Butch stated.
"Butch," Professor Utonium snapped.
Butch muttered under his breath.
"Really?" Boomer asked and sniffled.
"Yes," Professor Utonium said kindly, "now let's get back to the issue at hand," he instructed.
Brick, Boomer and Butch agreed.
