Everyone managed to go to sleep after Blossom calmed down and Him had his fun, everyone but Him who sat awake his eyes flickering back and forth, the image playing in his mind over and over, there he was the professor standing there, he waited for just the right moment and then nothing, it was over at that point.
Seven Years ago…..
Him had a large grin on his face, or so it seemed he gazed down at the unsuspecting town which would soon feel his ultimate revenge against the Powerpuff Girls, he smiled to himself and in a pink mist disappeared, he was now standing outside of the famous home of the Powerpuff girls, he peered into the house, the girls had left to spend time with their friends.
Him smiled down at the lab, the professor carelessly running back and forth trying to get his pointless machines and trinkets to work, Him amused himself and entered from the window he was now standing at the far wall, completely hidden from the professor, slowly sliding his way around the room and past the professor.
Slowly rising from the shadows he stood above the professor as he blankly walked into him, before the professor could truly act what happened, he gazed right into the green eyes, suddenly he fell and hit the front of his computer, blood slowly dripping into the wiring and the slots of the circuits short circuiting them.
Him bent the professor's head towards him he said," Don't worry, your girls will be next!" He dropped his head and left him there to die slowly and laughed as he turned into his pink smoke and exited the building, the only sign of him being there, the thin red line of blood were he slit his neck.
Back to the present….
Him opened his eyes, realizing he dozed off, unusual for the always awake demon, he blinked a few times before rising from his strange bent position in the chair he sat in, he noticed it was still morning, he got up and turned into pink smoke, he had much to go over before he could show up again, Mojo rose from the couch he was on, clearly ticked that the noise woke him.
He rose out of the blankets and walked to his kitchen, he grabbed a cup of coffee and waited for the others to wake up, they couldn't wait all day to wait the demon was still out there, he walked over after an hour of waiting and smacked Blossom, Buttercup, and Bubbles, each glaring up at him, he glared back down.
He said," Oh I'm sorry did I wake you, should I have just left you to sleep all day while an evil demon and you daughter are off somewhere, or are we going to do something?" Buttercup rolled with her sisters and they rose to their feet, Mojo shakes his head he says," Alright so we need a plan, what do you suppose Him?"
Mojo turned towards where Him was supposed to be but there was no one, Mojo surprised blinked he said," Where did Him go, he was with us all night wasn't he?" Blossom flew around the room and came up with the same conclusion that he was gone and left at some point, Bubbles scratched her head and asked," Where do you think he went?"
"Please get up….. Please…" The demon slowly opened his eyes, his entire body ached all over, he couldn't even see straight well, after a few minutes his vision cleared and he saw Sapphire's worried face over his, he coughs a little and wrote down," Uh… I feel like hell….:" She smiled and says," Well you did have quite a few days."
He smiled up at her, she helped him up and said," So where are we anyways?" The demon looking around for a moment, he scribbled it down and handed it to her," We are in my dimension, I warped us here after the fight with your sisters, and I guess you decided to come with me?" The events of the previous night slowly recovering and his memory restoring.
The demon held his chest as he stumbled to hold his ground, his body received more damage than it should have, he touched his neck and a shock of pain shot through his body, he wrote down angrily," Oh yah, I remember now your sister jabbed me in the neck with her shoe, tis really hurts….." Trying to hold his tears back he straightened out, turning he smiled weakly at her.
He handed her a note and said," And how are you fairing Sapphire?" Sapphire smiled and replied," I'm fine, it is just tough knowing I can't go back now…." The demon looked at her confused, he wrote," What do you mean, you can leave if you really want to." She shook her head and said," No I can't leave, they have seen what I can do they will hunt me down now…."
He begins writing again, after a few minutes he hands it to her," you know what I like about you, it is your determination, you helped me when I called out even though no one else would have, your different from the rest, if you had to choose, would you stay or go…." Sapphire looked off and thought carefully, she returned to his attention and said," I would stay duh, I told you no one deserves to be alone, not even a bad guy."
He scribbled another note down, scratching out most of it and re-writing, it read," Aren't you just sweet, I didn't think you really cared, I guess I thought you were trying to get me drop my guard, thank you for not leaving, by the way I know your name, do you want to know mine?" She backed up a little she knew that the demons name, their "real" name is one of the most secretive things about them, that was how Him showed his love towards her mom.
She smiled and nodded her head, saying," Yes I would love to hear your name." He began to write down, after a few seconds he handed her a slip, it read," My name is….. Dalex." She smiled and said," pleased to meet you Dalex, but if you don't mind me asking why would you tell me your name, we hardly know each other?"
Dalex smiled, he wrote," I don't have to know you to give you my name, it is a symbol of trust from friends, I will appear at your side when you need me, but really you should think of going home, you wouldn't want to end up a villain like me…." Her eyes were no longer facing him, she said while walking away," That may be too late look…."
The T.V. was showing what had occurred and shown that she had jumped in the way, after some time of the others heroes looking confused Sapphire snapped at them and then something happened to her sister and she was sent into the ground, after which she left with the villain and they were gone. The news reporter says," Yes I seems that one of our own heroes has turned and crossed over ladies and gentleman who are tuned in, yes little Sapphire age, ten was it or something like that has become what she swore to protect, a villain….. Reports are coming in on what happened stay tuned as we get more witnesses to the tragic set of events…."
Dalex glared at the television, he began writing," That is outrages how can they even say that, you aren't a villain, they are just judging you on what you did which was help someone in need, at this moment it wasn't me who was doing wring but your sister you stepped in and tried to stop her and now they're calling you evil."
The man continued," Yes there is no telling what the young Sapphire will do next but reports from her family don't look good…" Blossom appeared in a room and said," We don't know what happened but we intend to get her back…." Buttercup said," If I ever see her again I'll make sure she regrets doing that to my daughter!" Bubbles till had tears in her eyes, she responded," We will get her back, we will….."
The man appeared in a strange world with strange videos playing in the background, the reporter says," And you Him how does this affect you, you were there after all weren't you?" Two glaring green eyes stared the man down, he said," you had better not be in here right now, after all that has happened you come into my realm and ask me how it affects me! Oh I am going to get you!"
Him's smile placed across his face as he lunged forward and ran after the news reporter, while he dangled above a portal with his camera man, Him bent down and said," Hey Sapphire and the demon I know you're watching this, so you had better watch your next move, I don't know about the others but I sure as hell will kill both of you if you harm my family again, even you Sapphire so be a good girl and stay out of trouble now, by!"
He dropped the camera man and the reporter back into their news room, the reporter was still dizzy and the fall hurt his head, the camera guy stood up and looked down at him, he flipped the camera and said," And that concludes this broadcast…." The screen flickered and a new channel was on.
Dalex breathed heavily, he turned to see that Sapphire was now crying, he bent clos and wrapped her in his cape, he wrote," It will be alright, I'm sure Him is just upset, he will calm down, he is so hot headed, and don't worry we will make sure they know you're a hero…" She smiled at him wiping the tears from her eyes, she said," I don't know, sweetest girl going bad, it has a kind of ring to it doesn't it?"
He smiled down and wrote," Yah, it does so Sapphire what next?" Sapphire smiled up and said," I need to go make a name for myself right?" He nodded his head, walking away he threw another note behind his shoulder, it read," Yep go make that name, and don't forget to call me if you run into trouble, whatever costume you need I'm sure the world around us can create, just like it created my get up…. Good luck Sapphire…."
She smiled but quickly began to focus, what she wanted in a villain for herself, power. That was it she needed power, she would show those who called her weaker and dumber than her sisters, she was just as smart as them and more powerful, she smiled and said," I am going to be… Crystal." A bright flash of light swirled around her.
The world around her was indeed helping her in her cause, a blue sparkling suit was now over her, jagged crystals stuck from her shoulder blades, her face was revealed but her hair was now a shiny blue color, she had strange crystals inserted in the suit that stuck out about half an inch, she had a pair of black gloves along with black boots, and finally a black and silver cape flowing behind her.
She ran over and noticed her new appearance and had to admit it was what she wanted, she smiled darkly into the mirror and said," Now how do I get out of here?" The mirror opened up into a portal as if listening to her call, she took off through the portal and into the city, her gaze searching for any signs of her mother or cousins.
She walked slowly towards Towns hall, kicking down the front door, four police man ran over to check on what happened, blasting out four shards, slicing straight into the necks as they fall to the ground blood rushing out there mouth, she ran by quickly and took out any security system or man she saw, finally reaching her destination.
The mayor was playing with two horses making them charge each other as miss Bellum shook her head and watched the mayor as he continued his adventure, the door was kicked down and slid across the floor, the mayor quickly taking the offensive jumps behind his counter, screaming," Don't hurt me, don't hurt me!"
The being walked forward and snatched up the mayor glaring into his eyes with a sinister smile, she said," Well then Mr. Mayor I guess it's time to retire from being mayor, isn't that right?" The mayor shook his head as Miss Bellum reached for the hotline, she quickly called them and explained what was going on, suddenly before she could finish she hit the ground.
The being smiled and turned, she said," you didn't think your old routine distract the villain trick would work on me did you, suddenly five other beings appeared, Blossom landed down with her sisters and the two daughters, The being smiled and spun around still holding the mayor she tosses him to the ground and he slides across the floor.
Blossom shouts," Alright come easily and we won't use force, you are dealing with the Powerpuff Girls so just surrender." Her sweet laugh was a surprise to everyone as she says," No I don't think you have the situation quite right, it is I who will defeat you I am Crystal!" Jade and Ruby glared at her, Ruby said," Mom let us handle her, she doesn't look that tough!"
Blossom nodded but didn't like the idea, Ruby and Jade took off after her, the being quickly dodged there attacks while charging up her own, she fires lasers from the crystals at them, Ruby is struck and her hair slightly scorched, fire erupts around her as she charges out and strike Crystal across the face sending her spiraling down.
Crystal fires four crystals out, Ruby blocks but the shards stab into her hand, she flinches back but whips them out, Jade rammed into Crystal and delivered a heavy punch to the jaw, Crystal slammed into the wall behind her, she quickly got up, a ball of energy formed in front of her from the crystals, she released it and a large blast struck across the two other heroes.
Ruby and Jade fall to their knees and look up, the both run out and send a shattering punch to her chest cracking straight through her armor and shattering some of her ribs. She flung back and crashed to the ground, she spat the blood from her mouth glaring at them, her hair suddenly began to shimmer even more, the two heroes could no longer move.
Ruby shouts," What, what is going on!" Jade shouts," This I exactly how I felt when Sapphire…." The both stare at the villain who returns a sinister smile, she says," what can I say I guess villainy always ran in my blood, now feel my pain!" Her energy began to crush down on them, Ruby was shaking badly, she opened her mouth her hair shimmered brightly as well as Jade's.
Ruby used her power and sent a loud sonic boom straight at Crystal, Crystal released her sisters and fell to the ground holding her ears, Jade released a massive ball of energy blasting Crystal back into the stone wall, a jagged shard of wood stabbed into her side, she ripped it out and glared at them again, she went to charge again.
Suddenly pink smoke appeared near Ruby and Jade, Him smiled at her and said," So it turns out you really did go evil hmm….. Well then I will have to punish you then!" Crystal could hear the anger in his voice as his energy began to spike, he said," You should know better Sapphire; I thought your mother raised you correctly, what has corrupted you!"
Crystal could feel herself growing weaker from his harsh words, her own father had said he would kill her if she attacked the family, but would he really do it, a ball formed in his claw and began to grow larger, fear rushed through her, she thought," He really will kill me won't he, was this all a mistake?" Him nodded his head and said," Oh yah big time, sorry to say but you're about to get grounded!"
He raised the spiraling ball of energy towards her, she was shaking tremendously now, her whole body wouldn't respond to her because she couldn't think straight, Him dropped his smile and said," It could have been differently, but I won't let my daughter fall to darkness, you'll understand in time, just not this time!"
