AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hey everyone. Yes, I'm still alive. I sorta forgot about this fic for a while. But now I'm back with a slew of new ideas. Enjoy Chapter 5!

A few hours later, Blossom and Alex had arrived back at the laboratory. After their lovely evening, they needed a rest. Alex stretched on the couch. "Ah... That was amazing. We should do that more."

"Agreed." Blossom added, sitting on the couch next to Alex. After a while of watching TV, they then approached the Professor, with a question in mind. The Professor looked at them. "What's with you two? You look like you want to ask me something."

"We sure do. Mind if I sleep here tonight?" asked Alex.

"Well... OK, if Blossom trusts you, I do, too. She knows what's best for her. I've been performing some calculations and experiments on love between Powerpuffs while you two were gone."

Alex was curious. "What'd you find out?"

"Well, I found some pretty interesting results. I found out that effects of them being in love only apply to male ones, which are pretty rare around here. I didn't find out much, but I did find out that it causes a massive surge of power, amplifying all the superpowers the recipient has. It can get to the point where the world can be destroyed if the power is misused. You need to be careful. Feeling any changes, Alex?"

"No. Nothing out of the ordinary at least."

"Good. Now it's getting a little bit late, so you should get to bed."

Blossom and Alex started getting ready for their bedtime. They put on their bedwear, Blossom a nightgown and Alex a one piece blue pajama set. "Wow, you look adorable in that." Alex told Blossom.

"So do you..." Blossom said back. Alex chuckled. "Now, we should head to bed. I'll sleep in the spare bed."

Blossom nodded. "OK. See you in the morning, my blue wonder~"

That night, 2 mysterious figures were looming outside the lab. They whispered to each other before sneaking up to the house. From the bushes, Negalex and Mojo Jojo emerged. "Now remember the plan, monkey." Negalex told Mojo Jojo. They snuck inside and carefully moved, trying not to make a noise. "Where is their room? This is quite a conundrum we're in. I don't think I've ever seen a lab so big, it's hard to-"

"King Kong, shut up!" Negalex retorted. "Jeez, you need to learn to stop talking when you're thinking." He looked around the house, using his Super Vision to see if he could find the Girls and Alex. "Got 'em! Upstairs, sleeping. Let's take care of the sisters first." They went upstairs, and grabbed Bubbles and Buttercup. They were so deep in sleep, they didn't even wake up when they were drug into the light living room.

Negalex looked over them and took Octi out of Bubbles' arms. "Might be able to convert this to a big robot mech for you, Bananas."

Mojo Jojo was set off again. "STOP CALLING ME THAT! I, MOJO JOJO, COMMAND TO BE REFERRED TO BY MY REAL NAME!"

Just then, they heard a mumble come from their hostages. Buttercup was talking in her sleep. The yelling had also caused Bubbles to stir. "Huh...?" She mumbled, looking around. She saw the villains and noticed that they had Octi, her precious plush! She started tearing up. "O-octi...!? What will you... Do with him...?"

Before the villains could respond, Bubbles burst out crying. Her cry was so loud, Negalex had to cover his ears. "Quiet her down, will ya!? She'll wake the others!"

Blossom woke up with a jump. She heard someone crying, and it was all too familiar. "Bubbles...!?" She quickly looked around and saw that both Bubbles and Buttercup were gone from the room. Blossom started shaking Alex. "Hey, Alex! Wake up!"

Alex slowly awoke. "Ugh... Morning already?" His thoughts were suddenly stopped by Bubbles' crying cutting into them. Then, just as suddenly as it had started, the crying stopped. "Oh, no... She's in trouble!" Blossom realized. "C'mon!" Her and Alex rushed downstairs, but by the time they got there, it was too late. Bubbles was already tied up and gagged, along with Buttercup, still sobbing.

Alex looked at the two shadows. They were all too familiar to him... "Negalex...!" At these words, Negalex and Mojo Jojo emerged from the shadows. "That's right," said Negalex. "It's us."

"Why are you here!?" Blossom asked.
"Why, to take you and your sisters and loverboy. You'd all be excellent witnesses to our next evil plan..."

"I don't think you'll be taking us anytime soon!" Alex shouted at him, readying a blast with one hand. His hand covered in ice which then shattered, then formed into a blue ball of energy. He charged it quickly. "Take this! Ice Wave Cannon!" Alex yelled, as he fired a big blue beam of icy energy from his hand. Negalex dodged quickly, but Mojo wasn't so lucky. It hit him, knocking him to the ground.

"Wow... Impressive." Blossom commended. "But where'd the man in black go?" Just then, Negalex hit Blossom with a weakening punch, knocking her to the ground. "Blossom!" Alex shouted, flying at Negalex and kicking him into the wall. He aimed his laser eyes, but missed, blowing a hole in the wall. Alex and Negalex fought, evenly matched. Alex attacked with a flurry of ice punches, but Negalex countered by dodging with teleportation. After a bunch of punches and quick ice blasts, Alex finally hit Negalex into the wall stunning him. "This is it..." Alex readied a super powerful attack. "Let's finish this..." he said angrily, clasping both hands together as they glowed with blue ice energy. "FINAL FREEZE BLASTER!" Alex fired.

The beam that followed was so massive, when it hit Negalex, there was nothing but a flash of light. When it disappeared, the room was covered in ice. "Heh heh... Whoops." Alex said to himself. He looked around. No sign of his doppelganger. "Good. That takes care of that." Suddenly, someone hit him on the back of the head. As Alex's vision faded, he saw an all-too-familiar face. He had failed...
