She looked at all the people who were staring at her, her eyes shifted from those around who had worried expressions except for Mojo who didn't have an opinion and was fine with either way, and Him who had a large grin on his face. She smiled and said," I'm guessing we all already know my choice than?"

Him shook his head and said," It is always choice number one, huh….." Blossom hugged her but said," But there is another way right, there has to be?" Even Mojo shook his head, he said," I'm sorry Blossom, well not that sorry, but there is nothing we can do but do one of his commands, if you try to take her away by force he will kill her or something like that, and if you try to pawn time he will get bored and still take her, so it is time to say your farewells and goodbye's!"

Him yawned and leaned against Mojo's head piece, he said," well that would be the case of course, but you could always just punch his throat as you walk up there, causing him to flinch back, giving you time to snatch your sister and the rest of us to appear and help…. But that is stupid I mean getting taken prisoner and doing whatever he has planned for you is much better, were off than!"

He grabs her hand and walks with her, Blossom quickly snatches her back and says," You know that is a good idea Him, for once you are really helping, but how will we pull it off?" Him smiled straight at blossom he leaned closer and whispered something to her; she flinched back and said," Eww, never, I will never!"

Buttercup and Bubbles quickly go on the defensive, she says," What did he ask you to do sis!" Blossom cringed a little, Him said," I guess you don't want your girl to go through with the first plan…." Blossom walked closer, she stood in front of him, her entire body shaking as she looked up at him, and she took a deep breath.

Buttercup was about to leap at him, Blossom says," You…. You…. You're ho…. Hotter than I am!" She falls backwards, Buttercup rolls her eyes, she shouts," That's it that was all you had to do?" Him smiled and said," Well I'm glad you feel that way Blossom, now as for what you're going to do, first we send her down like the deal, when he releases Sapphire and begins the trade as soon as you approach him, you will strike him in the neck and take off with your sister to the point where we will meet. Which will be the stage right understood!"

They all nod their head in agreement; Him smiles and says with a large grin on his face," Let's get this show started shall we!" They all head out the door heading for the town square, Mojo locks his door and walks with Ace all the way there because they forgot them.

Sapphire was staring at the demon he was pacing back and forth, he didn't show anger but he was upset, she asked shyly," Is something…. Wrong you look upset?" hearing her question he stops his pacing, writing on a slip of paper, he hands it to her, it says," I just don't get it, I was sure they would be here, I mean who would pass the chance to save their lost sister, I mean are they going to come, at least will she?"

He smiled slightly and handed another slip," thank you for your concern, if you don't mind me asking why do you even care about how I feel, aren't you suppose to hate me?" Sapphire smiles and says," If everyone hated you than that would just leave you alone, I don't even want one soul without a friend, that isn't a way to live, and everyone deserves a chance?"

He smiled at her as he began to pace again she looks at him, she asks," but why does it matter so much, I mean of course they will come, but why is it so important to you?" He pulls out another slip and begins to write, suddenly two streaks appear, Ruby and Jade, he smiles, he writes something down and hands it to Sapphire, she reads," So you have come, I believe you are excepting the trade then?"

Ruby nods her head, she slowly walks further, he hands her another slip and says," Alright she is coming down now." He gestured for her to go, Ruby slowly approached, he turned his head and wrote something down as she stood near him, handing it to her she snatched it, reading it she said," This concludes the transaction, the trade…. A success I think, maybe… more or less it worked…. Let's just say that the trade worked how does that sound?"

After a few seconds, Jade looked to her right a bit, Him made a large L shape with his body, quickly signaling to Ruby, another L. Ruby leaned back and swung her leg catching him in the throat knocking him to the ground, she ran towards her sisters, he held his throat as his neck burned, a few tears rolled down his face, his mouth opened but he knew no sound came out.

His hand scribbled across a pad of paper, his weak smile appeared on his face, the paper read," OW!" he spat blood up as he coughed, the only noise he could produce, more blood spilt as time went by, the other appeared and surrounded the children, even though he was the bad guy Sapphire could feel the small tear that fell down her cheek as she watched him.

He held his neck again as he stood up, now he noticed the others, writing down another message he tossed it towards them, Him snatched it and read," So much for good trade, I guess it was more of a wounded trade." Him felt a slight humor, but then his eyes glared, he thought to himself," Wait, why wasn't he like this before, he was much different even his stance was different what is with him!"

The demon coughed out more blood which hit the ground in front of him, re adjusting the bandage his neck showed, her boot had cut an extra artery in his neck, blood poured down his neck until he re wrapped it. He wiped the blood from his face, Blossom, Buttercup and Bubbles glared at him, any sympathy they might have had as kids for someone like him was gone.

He stumbled back as he turned to leave, Buttercup shouts," where do you think you're going!" He pulls out his pad and begins to write, after a minute he tosses it to them, Buttercup reads," Home where else? I don't sleep here you know?" Buttercup and her daughter glare at him, she says," are you calling me stupid!"

He wrote a quick note and threw it to her, she read," I wasn't implying it if that is what you're implying, I would love to go head to head with your daughter again but she is a little cheat and a bitch so I don't think I'll stay around!" He turns again, Jade rushes him and knocks him to the ground, he slowly pushes himself up, she reaches down and snatches him up.

Tossing him he crashes through the large stage that was set up, Scribbling slightly as she continued to toss him, he tried to swing at her but she struck him in the stomach, his head wasn't in focus and the jabs to his stomach were not helping, more blood rushed out of his mouth as she continued her beat down.

He tosses the paper randomly before being slammed into again, he felt a large snap as his left leg twisted against the ground and broke, Sapphire noticing the note reaches for it, opening it she reads it," Please Help Me…." She quickly rushes out and tries to grab ahold of Jade who struggles, she shouts," Let go of me, let go of me!"

Sapphire shakes her head and says," No you're going too far!" Buttercup and the other watched as Sapphire restrained Jade, Buttercup turned and said," Bubbles tell Sapphire to let go of my daughter!" Bubbles frightened by Buttercup shouts," sapphire release Jade, I don't want you to get in trouble!" Sapphire shakes her head and says," I can't he asked for help, I can't deny a request for help!"

Bubbles slams her foot down and shouts," young lady let your cousin go, you don't help the enemy, there the bad guys!" Sapphire's eyes lost a hint of their color, a surprise to everyone, she released her sister, she shakes a little as she stammers," but but, you always told told me that everyone deserved a second chance was tha all a lie than!" Her voice becoming more violent.

Bubbles shook her head and says," No but he is bad, bad he doesn't have a hope he is pure evil, there is no hope for him." Sapphire shouts," Oh yah well Him changed didn't he?" Bubbles moved her eyes back and forth, Him slowly backing away from the group, Sapphire continues," You always said that it was you who alone was able to strike through the dark one's heart, you who put an end to his evil ways, or was that all a lie, hell you know what I am and that should be proof enough for you!"

Her body slowly lit on fire, Blossom, Buttercup, Ace and Mojo look at Bubbles, Blossom asks," what is she talking about Bubbles?" Sapphire surprised asks," wait you didn't know about that, but you knew of me so how could you not know, I mean she told you about my father didn't she?" Buttercup slowly turned towards Bubbles.

Blossom says," Bubbles you never did tell us who her father was, and what does she mean by what she is, what is she Bubbles?" Bubbles rubbed her arm and says," Well Sapphire is my daughter, but she is half Powerpuff girl… half demon…." Blossom begins," but how is that…" She turns slowly towards where Him was only to find him gone.

Him waved from the top of a building and said," I thought I would give myself a fair chance before you try to kill me!" Bubbles waves for him to come down, he vanished and appears next to her, all of them still surprised just look at them, buttercup asked," but how…. When did….. How long…." Blossom falls to the ground in sudden realization.

Buttercup asks trying to calm her," what's wrong what is it?" Blossom shaking says," we are sisters to a cross dressing demon!" Buttercup rolled her eyes again, she says," Again with this why do you keep doing this it isn't-"Sapphire shouts," Shut up!" her voice turning more vicious then before, she shouts," You always taught me to help others in need, so why… why would you stop me from helping him, he even through the note for help for crying out loud!"

She tosses the note at them and it crashes into the ground creating a small crater, Jade raced at the demon who was still on the ground she was bent on destroying him, Sapphire realizing her sisters plan she shouts," Stop!" Her hair lit up as she screamed, Jade suddenly stopped her whole body stopped, still angry Sapphire felt her power wrap around her, Jade began to scream in agony as she could feel her body crushing down, blood was dripping from her mouth, Sapphire smashed her into the ground and floated down.

Blood was pouring from her mouth as she approached, suddenly she felt someone grabbed her shoulder, the demon rose from the ground and placed his hand on her handed her a slip of paper as he turned," Let's go, I need a friend to talk to." He gave her a weak smile as he turned into black smoke he reached his hand out, another slip, it read," Your choice?"

She slowly reached for his hand, she grasped tightly and she was absorbed into the cloud, Ruby raced out but was too late and they were gone, running to Jade she picked her up, Mojo gestured for them to follow, when they reached his base he set Jade down on a table, he said," So let us go over what happened so I'm sure we weren't dreaming."

He took a deep breath and said," So Him had a plan, not a complicated, or elaborated plan, but a simple plan to get your sister back, kicking the villain in the throat, first everything went well until you read the notes he gave you, causing Jade to go berserk in which Bubbles' daughter had to take action and help because he asked for it, then her mom revealed that Him, yes Him the cross dressing demon freak who always foils my plans against him, and that she was his daughter giving her Demon and Powerpuff powers, she used her special power to attack Jade and send her to the ground, then she left with the other demon that was not Him but had taken up residents in Him so he could stabilize and watch the world, and we went back here, does that sound about right?"

They all nod their heads agreeing, Mojo said," Now I say you all get some rest I will run some tests, yes tests, to find out what happened to your daughter, now go!" The others didn't leave so he placed out blankets and other things, Him created a king sized bed for himself and smiled at the rest of them as they glared at him.

Mojo began to run the tests, test after test he found more problems, he had to patch up a lot of the little girls broken areas, a lot of her organs were harmed in the process, whatever Sapphire used it was some attack, it hurt every last organ In Jade's body, Mojo slapped himself in the face, he said," I don't want to be the barer of this bad news."

Suddenly a voice crawled around his skin," What problem Mojo?" Mojo spun around and noticed Him standing there, Mojo glared and said," Her entire body had been injured, it would take a miracle to help her…." Him smiled as he leaned down behind Mojo, he said," Or one magical demon who could help!" Mojo nodded his head and said," What will it cost then?"

Him shook his claw he said," Since this is a first time, and she is family I am going to give her a free helping of my power!" A high pitched scream echoed from his mouth the entire city could hear his terrible wail, the Puffs and Ace instantly got up and covered their ears, Him had a strange aura around him, and he touched Jade on the forehead and sent the entire stream of energy into her body.

A massive explosion shook the entire base as the energy exploded form her, Jade smiled as she was totally energized she flew circles around her family so fast they couldn't even see her, Him smiled and said," what can I say, I make a decapitation look like an arm chopped off I'm that good!" Buttercup jumped forward and hugged him, instantly realizing it she lunged back and wiped herself down, she said," UHM, thank you Brother in law!"

Him smiled and said," Hey call me PPH!" Blossom glared at him and said," and what exactly does that mean?" Her eyebrow up, he says excitedly," what do you think it means… Power Puffed Him!" He instantly shot out the door laughing as she took off after him into the night, Buttercup laughed as well, Mojo walked over and said," Don't worry she will come to her senses, she is just upset about what happened."

Bubbles smiled at the monkey and said," Thank you Mojo, even though you don't seem it you really aren't that bad, you got a little good in you after all." Mojo looked around and said straightening his helmet," what me good, that is outrages, foolish and downright crazy talk, pff, me good yah right….." He turned away and left as she just smiled and waved.
