A/N: In case anyone doesn't know, a 'shiner' is a black eye. I don't own 'The Powerpuff Girls'. ON WITH THE STORY!
Bri's P.O.V.
"And now! I, Mojo Jojo, will take over Townsville with this machine! This machine will-," Mojo Jojo said, still ranting on after ten minutes.
"Will take over the city of Townsville with my stupid machine that will backfire on me, and then I will get put in jail by the Powerpuff girls," I said, mocking him. My legs were attached to the ground by metal shackles. Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup were shackled beside me.
"Be quiet!" Mojo Jojo shouted at me, "Now, to activate the machine that will destroy the city!"
"Why do super villains do that?" I asked, "If you destroy the city, you have nothing to rule!"
"Exactly! That is why this machine the entire population of humans into animals! And not just any animals, their animals! By their animals, I, Mojo Jojo, mean their spirit animals!"
"Isn't spirit animals just a myth?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.
"There is a fifty percent chance there are," Mojo Jojo told me.
I shrugged and said, "Then push the button to activate the machine."
"Brianna!" Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup exclaimed.
"It's just going to backfire on him," I said shrugging my shoulders.
Mojo Jojo pushed the purple button and a strange surge went through the air. I didn't feel any different. I looked down at myself and saw I didn't change at all. I scoffed and said, "I told you it would fail."
"CURSES!" Mojo shouted. Blossom and Buttercup broke the chains attached to my ankles as I freed Buttercup from her chains. Once Buttercup and I were freed, we quickly beat up Mojo Jojo, and I brought him to the jail. I went back to Mojo Jojo's lab to help Buttercup free Bubbles and Blossom.
When I got there, Buttercup was in the middle of freeing Blossom. I went to Bubbles and started to free her. "What do you think that surge did?" Buttercup asked.
"Probably nothing," I said as the metal started to bend very slightly.
"Okay, this is taking way too long," Blossom said, "Brianna, look for the keys."
"Aye, aye captain bossy pants," I said as I got to my feet and started to look for the keys. I looked almost everywhere for the keys. Except...the machine. I started to take it apart piece by piece. I finally found it when I took out some of the wires. I grabbed them and unlocked Bubbles, as Buttercup had already freed Blossom.
"Thanks!" Bubbles exclaimed as she and her sisters started to levitate in front of me.
"Bye Bri!" The trio said in unison. They flew off, leaving their signature light blue, pink, and mint green streak behind them. The streak disappeared after a few seconds.
I walked out of Mojo Jojo's observatory and saw Zee and Xara's family gathered in the park. Two weeks had gone by fast, and her entire family was gathered in the park. Her ENTIRE family. Cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and lots of distant family. You see, Zee's family got married to different cultures. They usually go to different countries and usually fall in love with someone there. Zee's family is fun, odd, and just plain crazy. She has a distant aunt (her dad's brother's wife's cousin's sister) who can eat jalapeño peppers, and not feel like she's eating the sun. Zee has an uncle (mom's aunt's son-in-law) who can dislocate his hip and put it back. Xara told me he was doing a dance and fell off the stage. Ouch.
"Bri!" Zee and Xara exclaimed, running to me, "Help us!"
"What? What's wrong?" I asked.
"Our family! We've got family from Russia, from Mexico, Spain, Italy, New York, Pennsylvania, Australia, South Korea, and practically everywhere else in the world! And we've got a penguin as an aunt!" Zee exclaimed. That last statement took me by surprise. A penguin aunt? Weird.
"It's too much food to handle!" Xara exclaimed, "And too much hugging! Especially from our dad's side of the family!"
"Help us!" Zee exclaimed.
"Okay, okay! I'll try to take care of it!" I exclaimed, starting to walk towards Zee and Xara's family.
"She's doomed," I heard Xara whisper to Zee.
I rolled my eyes and walked over to Zee and Xara's Brooklyn cousins. They were all males. Not good in my opinion, but I gave everyone a chance at knowing the real them.
"Hi," I said, stopping a few feet away from them. I smiled at them.
"Hey," One of the boys said slyly. He sort of reminded me of Ace.
"Hey ya," The second one said.
"Sup?" The third one said.
"What's your name?" The first one asked, "I'm Jimmy. That's Matt and Duncan."
"Ooo. Scary names," I joked.
"Hm. You got that right," Matt said, smirking.
"I'm Bri. Zee and Xara's friend," I said.
"Who?" The three asked in unison.
Your distant cousins," I said, "I bet you guys didn't even know you guys were related before this reunion."
"Yeah," They said in unison.
Duncan said, "But we did know each other from school."
Jimmy nodded and said, "Yeah. Best friends. Real family, and we didn't even know it!" They all laughed.
"Anyways," Duncan said, "You got a boyfriend?"
"Yeah. I'm off the market. Sorry," I said, chuckling.
"It's okay," Matt said, laughing.
"Yeah," Jimmy said, smiling.
"Totally fine," Duncan told me as he chuckled.
I smiled and said, "Nice to meet you guys. Bye."
"Bye," They said in unison.
I walked away from them and back to some more of Zee and Xara's family. After I was done talking to practically every family member, I went back to Zee and Xara. "Well?" They asked.
"Your family's cool," I said, smiling.
"Fine," Zee said.
"We'll go mingle," Xara said.
"See you later Bri," Zee said.
I flew into the sky and over the city. Everything was normal. Well, as normal as it could get for Townsville. Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup were beating up Fuzzy Lumpkins, and Bobbie was kicking the Rowdyruff Boys' butts.
Everything was being taken care of, so I headed home. I opened the door and walked in. When I did, I saw a shirtless guy sitting on the couch. I got into an attack stance and said, "Who are you and why are you in my house?!"
A/N: Sorry to anyone who did read the first version of this chapter. I decided to end it differently. In the next chapter, you'll find out what Mojo's ray did. Review!
