"Link did you say his name was?" The Professor asked still looking at a black substance in a test tube.
"Yeah, he knew all about us and Chemical-Z and it's effects and…"
"Whoa! Hold on Blossom you mean he knew that you were the Powerpuff Girls Z?" Ken asked
"Yeah he told us something about the suit altering brain waves making us seem different to other people." Buttercup butted in.
"Professor this could be serious." Ken stated turning to his father who was still looking at his test tube.
"Well I wouldn't be too worried about it he's probably just someone who was affected by the Z-Rays."
"You think so Professor? I didn't pick anything up by Z-Ray activity besides Mojo today." Poochie chimed in.
"He said he was from somewhere. Let me think…" Bubbles put her finger to the side of her chin.
"He said he was Hylian." Blossom concluded, "Yeah that's it!" Bubbles finished
"Hylian!?" The Professor said dropping his vial which made a small explosion where it landed, "Are you girls certain that he said Hylian?"
"Yeah, why?" Blossom asked looking inquisitively at the Professor.
"I don't know just yet but I have a bad feeling about this, I'll call you girls later if I find anything." He said and ushered all of them including Ken and Poochie out the door.
"Well that was strange." Ken said following the girls to the outer door.
As they were passing through the lounge the overhead monitor fizzed on, the mayor's face was taking up most of the screen and one could see Miss Bellum off to the corner. "Powerpuff Girls the Amoeba boys are attacking the city we need you right away!" He said nearly falling over off his chair.
"We're on our way!" The three said in unison and took out their communicators and swiped their power rings transforming them into the Powerpuff Girls Z.
They took off right out of the front door heading towards downtown New Townsville. When they arrived there were definite signs of destruction yet the only thing there was an army tank. "Do you think the Mayor had the Army come and take care of them?" Blossom asked, "But why would he have called us then?" Bubbles concluded. Just then the tank turned it's cannon towards the Powerpuff Girls and fired a round. They just managed to dodge the mortar and Buttercup yelled down, "Why don't you watch where your aiming!?"
"We was watchin where we was aimin." Came the voice of one of the Amoeba boys, "Indeed." Resounded the other two, "In fact we aren't going to miss this time."
"Are they in the tank?" Bubbles asked looking to where the voices originated. "They must be!" Said Blossom, "But where did they get it?" Buttercup questioned as another round shot right past them. "Hey!" all three of them shouted.
From a nearby rooftop the Mayor and Miss Bellum ran towards a balcony overlooking the field of battle. "Girls they didn't take the tank they are the tank!"
"WHAT!?" The girls said looking towards the tank, "But we didn't know they could turn into a tank!"
"We can do more than that." The snooty head of the Amoeba Boys said and the tank broke down and turned into a jet. They took off and fired a missile at the rooftop where stood the Mayor and Miss Bellum throwing them off down towards a pile of rubble. "Bubble Catcher!" Bubbles yelled swinging her bubble wand which released a large bubble that caught the Mayor and Miss Bellum letting them down softly on the ground.
"When did they get the ability to transform?" Blossom asked turning left and right trying to avoid a flurry of missiles now projecting from the Jet. Buttercup was knocking a few missiles back with her Sonic Hammer but there seemed to be a never ending supply.
The Amoeba Boys laughed, "With this newfound ability we can finally become renowned international jewel thieves and no one can stop us!" Came the feminine voice of the crew.
"Blossom I've got an idea!" Bubbles said, "I need you two to distract them though." Blossom and Buttercup nodded and Bubbles turned and flew off behind a few buildings.
"Hey Amoeba Boys does it hurt knowing you couldn't hit a skyscraper in New York with aim like that?" Buttercup yelled.
"How dare you we'll teach you a lesson you won't forget." Came the voice of their leader. And let off a round of missiles. "Missile Cutter!" "Home-Run Sonic Attack!" Blossom and Buttercup yelled swinging their weapons and taking out multiple missiles at once. They maneuvered deftly through another volley and soon all attention was on the two.
"Electric Bubble Blast!" Came a shout from behind the jet and soon it was surrounded by a bubble abounding in electricity. A short cry came from the Jet and it morphed back into three pieces where they could finally see the Amoeba Boys and their lady friend. "Pounding Hammer!" Buttercup yelled hitting all three of them squarely and sending them out of sight.
"That's what you get for messing with the Powerpuffs!" Blossom stated and turned to Bubbles, "How did you know that would work?"
"We learned it in school sillies don't you remember water and metal both conduct electricity and the Amoeba Boys are mostly water and they turned into things that were metal." The other two looked kind of shocked and embarrassed, "Maybe we should pay closer attention in class." They said rubbing the backs of their necks. Bubbles just laughed. "Speaking of Class we need to get back to ours!" Blossom said donning a worried expression. And the three flew off.
Today was Gym class for the group. So they all went down, after getting changed, to the field outside their school. "O.K. class today is the start of the soccer season so we will be splitting you off into two groups." Link was out there still in his cloak. "Link I realize that the cloak is part of your religion but in Gym we can't have you wearing it." The gym teacher stated as nicely as she could.
"I understand." Link said and walked up to the teacher and pulled on the front of his cloak releasing the hook and he took it off. There stood a young man, about the same height as the girls. He had blond hair and when he turned around everyone could see his amazingly blue eyes. His ears came up into a long point adding to the general flow of his well defined face. He had a white short sleeved shirt on with a green stripe running down each side and green shorts on. He wore normal sneakers and socks yet you could just see the muscle that was flowing into the character of his body. All the girls sighed putting their hand's together and resting their faces on it.
"Teacher Link needs to be on my team!" Princess Morbucks said with hearts just falling from her eyes. The teacher looked at the girls and sighed. "I will be the one to decide the teams thank you!" She said as link went and sat in the back with his arms around his legs. "Now for team one."
The class was slowly split in two with Bubbles and Blossom and Link on one team and Buttercup and Princess Morbucks on another. "Now class take your positions." She said. Buttercup took her position as the captain and lead attacker at the center of the field. Blossom forced her way into team captain and placed Link at center. The gym teacher approached the center with a whistle in her mouth and a soccer ball in her hand.
The teacher steadied the ball in the center as Buttercup and Link locked eyes. Buttercup smirked and the teacher threw the ball in the air while blowing her whistle simultaneously. Everyone on the field stood in wonder at what happened next, Link jumped right of the ground and met the ball where it had leveled out in the air, he spun around and hit the ball squarely with his heel sending it flying right through the legs of the opposing goalie. He landed down to the gaping mouths of everyone on the field including the teacher whose whistle dropped out of her mouth.
"What the Heck was that?" Buttercup said stepping back.
Link looked up at her and smiled, "I love soccer." He simply stated. He looked around, "I'm sorry, I won't do that again." And they lined up for the second round as Buttercup squared up with the ball.
She kicked it off to the side where Princess Morbucks intercepted it and carried it forward into the other side. "Kick it to me." Buttercup yelled as the opposing team started to surround Princess.
"Never!" Princess shouted and kicked the ball forward towards the goal. Blossom caught it on her chest and passed it to Bubbles who moved it up towards the attackers. Link got a hold of the ball and dribbled it up the field passing over and around the other players as though they didn't even exist.
"Pass it to me!" Blossom yelled and Link passed the ball straight through the legs of the three defenders where Blossom caught it on the inside of her foot and took the shot. The ball bounced off the side post straight to the defenders of the other team who kicked it forward to Buttercup. Buttercup dribbled up past the defenders of the other team and scored a goal for their team. As they retook their position Buttercup passed Link and said, "I love soccer too." And she and Link smiled.
After class they all walked along the school hallways towards Ms. Keane's class. Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup accompanied Link while all of them talked about the soccer game. "Link you need to come meet the Professor I'm sure he'd love to meet you." Blossom said
"You mean Professor Utonium of the Institute?" he said.
"Yeah do you know him?" Bubbles asked
"Who doesn't?. I'd love to meet him are you going after school?" Link asked
"Probably before then." Buttercup said under her breath walking with her arms up behind her head.
All of them laughed and at that moment Link had a feeling he didn't feel in a long time, he could smell the Kokiri woods and feel the mist from Lake Hylia, Home. He thought to himself and walked into class.
