"Poochie we need the girls right away." The Professor stated frantically typing on a computer console to which Poochie ran around and yelled, "Powerpuff Girls we need you!"

Further away at the school Blossom and Bubbles were teamed together for a science lab experiment.

"I hope Buttercup is okay she didn't make it to school this morning, maybe we should pay her a visit after school." Blossom suggested

"I'm sure she'd like that and then maybe we could go and visit Link at the Professor's." Bubbles responded, "Who knows he might be awake now."

Blossom nodded and turned back to the small vial of chemicals placed before them. "All right," Blossom said, "We need three drops of hydrophosphate exactly." She said taking the eyedropper out of a small brown container. She put it over a beaker in front of her "1…2…" Just then their belts flashed which startled Blossom causing her to squeeze the dropper hard and unleash a stream of chemicals right into the beaker which promptly sprayed a yellow foam like substance all over the girls.

The teacher shook his head and pointed to the door telling them to go clean themselves up. The girls ran out and onto the roof where they transformed and went straight to the Lab where the Professor was waiting for them.

"Where's Buttercup?" He asked

"She was sick today so she missed school. I imagine her using her lasers for so long yesterday wore her out." Blossom informed him.

"Hmm." The Professor stated putting his chin between his thumb and index finger. "That's too bad. Anyways girls I have terrible news." The Professor started, "I don't know how but it seems like HIM is on his way back here."

"WHAT!? Are you sure? I thought we trapped HIM forever in Z-rays!" Blossom stated.

"I don't think I'm ready for HIM again." Bubbles whined

"I thought we had done it as well but look." He pointed to a small flashing red light on the console of the computer, "I installed this to monitor heavy Z-Ray activity in space and when it flashes it means that Z-rays are heading towards earth. And the space station managed to get this photo," The Professor said handing over a small piece of paper to the girls. It looked like a cosmic cloud of black and white and in the center was a hardly distinguishable cloud of black dust that seemed to be close together just like when they sent HIM away.

"How long do you think it will be before it get's here?" Blossom asked

"About a week." Came the Professor's grim reply

"Then I guess we have some training to do." Bubbles said changing back to her normal optimism.

"Thanks for the warning Professor." The girls waved as they rushed out the door to get back to class

Later that day they walked over to Buttercup's house where her masked father let them in. Buttercup was on the couch looking at the TV, there was a soccer game on and she would jump up and yell at the referee every once and a while even though she knew that he couldn't hear her.

She rose when the other two walked in, "Hey Blossom, hey Bubbles what's up?" she said having changed her attitude from anger to apathy in less than a second.

"Oh nothing we were on our way to see if Link was awake and wanted to know if you'd like to come along." Bubbles announced

"Sure just let me get changed quickly and I'll…"

"Oh no you don't!" Came the shrill voice of Buttercups mother, "You are sick and you're going to stay here."

"But Mom…" Buttercup started only to be interrupted by her mother's wagging finger. "I feel fine and it's not like going to the Professors is going to make anything worse!" she argued

"Maybe she should go who knows the fresh air might help her out a lot more than yelling at a TV screen all day." Her father interjected

"I love you dad!" Buttercup said hugging her father around his legs. Her mother sighed, "Fine but dress warmly we don't want you to come back in worse shape than when you left." At this Buttercup went over and hugged her mother, "Thanks mom." She said and rushed into her room. A moment later she exited in her normal windbreaker/cargo pants and green jacket with a black shirt. She donned her cap and left.

"Thanks Mrs. Matsubara!" the girls yelled in unison heading down the stairs into the street below.

On the way over the girls told Buttercup what the Professor had told them earlier.

"WHAT!?" Buttercup shouted so that quite a few people in the street turned and looked at them. Both Bubbles and Blossom had their hands over her mouth in an instant. "Shh! You're gonna make people suspicious if you start talking so loud!" Blossom said slowly pulling back her hand.

"Anyways HIM won't be back for at least a week so we have a week to prepare and practice." Blossom continued.

They arrived at the gate of the Lab and went up to the front door and on the inside they could hear crashing around and the sound of the Professor shouting. The girls looked at each other and nodded and each one transformed and bust into the Lab.

"Why can't I remember?" Came a familiar voice and soon a couch flew right past their heads and embedded itself in the wall behind them.

"Hey what do you think your…!?" Buttercup stopped midsentence as she saw the one that threw the couch was Link. The Professor had him in some kind of hold that seemed to be hurting the Professor more than stopping Links rampage.

"What's the matter with him?" Blossom asked Ken who was hiding behind a counter with Poochie.

"We don't know he woke up a few minutes ago yelling about something he couldn't remember!" Ken replied and ducked just as another chair flew and embedded itself right next to the heart shaped monitor.

"I'll put an end to this!" Buttercup stated and went down right in front of Link. Link took a swing at her and Buttercup put her hand up and braced herself. She caught the punch but to no avail as even with all her strength she failed to slow it down and wound up getting knocked back on the ground. She lifted her head and wiped her mouth were blood had started to come out. At the site of this Link just stopped cold. The Professor slowly released Link as Link walked towards Buttercup. He put out his hand and Buttercup flinched which made Link pull back a little bit.

He reached behind his back and pulled out a vial of red liquid. "I don't know how I know but I think this will help…, I'm sorry." He said with a tear forming on the side of his eye. Buttercup took the vial and drank it. It tasted Awful but soon the pain in her face stopped and even the sickness she felt earlier went away. She felt her cheek and where a cut had been there was just smooth skin and some remnant of blood.

The other two stood back in shock and Link stretched out his hand, "I'm very sorry I didn't mean to hurt you." He said and Buttercup took his hand and their eyes met for a second. They both turned and blushed and Link pulled Buttercup to her feet.

Bubbles giggled a little bit having seen what just happened. "What's so funny?!" Buttercup asked pretending like nothing happened. "Oh nothing!" Bubbles smiled and soon the room was back to normal besides the huge holes in the walls.

"So what happened Link?" Blossom asked

"I just can't remember," Link stated, "Link is that my name?"

"It's as I feared," The Professor interjected, "It seems like our good friend Link here is suffering from amnesia."

"But how?" Bubbles asked

"I don't know but I think I need to run a few tests to try and find out what's going on." This was the Professor's age old standby, "running a few tests." "He doesn't remember who he is or where he came from so this is a delicate situation and he might be more comfortable staying with one of you girls, after all you are the first friends he's made here and it seems like you are more capable of calming him down it another episode occurs."

"He can stay with me." Buttercup said, the whole room turned and looked at her, "I mean I am the strongest and probably the most capable of dealing with him should he get out of hand." She said blushing and putting her hand behind her head. Blossom and Bubbles turned to each other and started to giggle which made Buttercup turn red and laugh nervously.

"I don't know Buttercup you're family is very rough and if Link doesn't remember how to control his strength… even in play he could hurt someone pretty bad." The Professor responded, "I think that Bubbles might be the best option I mean after all she is the only one who lives with her gran-gran and they are both very even tempered so there's less likely of a chance for him to get mad and potentially ruin something."

"OK! I just have to talk to Gran-gran and I'm sure she'd be fine with it." Bubbles said running over to the phone. A few minutes later Bubbles returned, "She said it was fine with her, but Professor do you know where his parent's are?"

"I called the school records earlier and it seems like he moved here on his own from the monastery no one accompanied him. And now he can't even remember where his home is here so he needs a place to stay."

"Well then he's welcome to come stay with me." Bubbles said. Her eyes suddenly lit up in sparkles, "Does this mean I can take him shopping for new clothes too?" She said with her hand up to her face in excitement.

"And I can show him all the best places to eat!" Blossom chimed in and the both of them clasped hands and started to giggle uncontrollably. Ken and the Professor and Poochie just looked at each other and shrugged while Link and Buttercup sat back with worried expressions on their faces.

"I guess so I mean he doesn't have access to whatever he was wearing before so he does need something to where." The Professor stated

To this Bubbles jumped up in excitement and took Link and started to drag him out the door talking to herself about all the fashion shops they needed to see. And while she was dragging him out Blossom was following him telling him about different restaurants. Buttercup and the boys at the Lab just stared with worried expressions on their faces as they watched Link being drug out.

"You realize what you've done Professor?" Buttercup asked pointing at the girls walking out the door.

The professor sighed and shrugged his shoulders and turned back to the monitor behind him.

Thank you all for returning to the continuing Saga of Link and the PPGZ, hopefully you will be able to keep up with all the Future installments of the series. Ultima S. Next, Life in the Norm.

I have been receiving a lot of questions as to why I decided to make Link forget his past while there is not really a single answer I have narrowed down my reasons to 3 main concepts 1) I used it as a way for the readers to connect with the character of Link in very much the same way that Miyomoto designed Link to not speak in the games. It was to allow the players to put themselves in the place of Link and fill in the conversation as they would if they were given that dialogue. This is difficult to do when the character speaks so the only true way to allow a reader to be in the shoes of the character is to bury the past of the character and allow the reader to grow with them. 2) I needed a way for Link to ultimately fall in love with one of the girls. something that wouldn't have happened if he'd remembered his home and it needed to be a strong enough connection that when he finally got his memory back that he would stick with the one he'd fallen in love with. 3) If we cross-cannon Link (meaning allowing him all of the powers and abilities he had in all of the games/books/tv episodes.) then he would be way too powerful and there would be no conflict with the petty bad guys that came their way so there needed to be an equalizer.
