Allies and Rivals
Chapter 3 - Mojo's Attack
The city of Townsville, and the city's resident snob, Princess Morebucks went stealthily into Mojo's lair that Thursday afternoon on September 4.
'Those Powerpuff Girls are the ones to blame! It's their fault! If it weren't for them, those new rich boys would be looking at me!' she thought. 'I must get rid of them, for revenge at not being made into a Powerpuff Girl and so that I would have the boys all to myself!'
Soon, Princess Morebucks entered the "secret" hideout of Mojo Jojo on top of Townsville Volcano Top Observatory.
She caught the genius of a monkey looking over a blueprint.
"Boo!" she said, frightening Mojo.
"Ah, what are you doing in my property, in my domain, my home, my house, my mansion, my secret laboratory, my domicile! You are trespassing, making an illegal entry, intruding, infringing, encroaching on my home!" Mojo ranted. "And you are bothering my brilliant plan to destroy the Powerpuff Girls!"
"Oh please," Princess said. "We all know that your plans never work!"
"On the contrary!" Mojo replied. "You are wrong, mistaken, out of touch with reality, in sin and in error pining, false, misguided, fatally flawed and faulty! My new brilliant plan is definitely going to work! Look and behold my new and improved and expanded Robo Jojo! This is the instrument, device, machine, contraption, equipment, apparatus, paraphernalia that I, Mojo Jojo, the greatest, most genius of all villains, will use, utilize, apply, employ to destroy, decimate, mutilate, kill, maim, disfigure, annihilate, obliterate, extinguish, eradicate those accursed, annoying, aggravating Powerpuff Girls! Muhahahahaha!"
"So? You could've said you're going to use that to destroy the Powerpuff Girls? What are you, a walking Thesaurus?" Princess then looked at the blueprint. She then dropped to the floor laughing. "You expect to destroy the girls with that! I've seen better things that could destroy the girls in a toy shop!"
"It's not funny, humorous or amusing," Mojo asserted.
"Oh pshaw, you know your plans never work. Now listen Mojo, I need you to take care of the Powerpuff Girls for me!"
"Okay, but why do you want me do to it when you think my devices are no good?"
"Because," said Princess, "I want my hands clean. I don't want anybody know of my involvement."
"Fair enough," said Mojo Jojo. "I would destroy the Powerpuff Girls and the Rowdy…"
"No, no, no, just the Powerpuff Girls!" said Princess. "Don't harm the boys. I want them safe and sound. After all, how could I marry one of them if they're all dead or maimed for life?"
Mojo looked at Princess as if she was insane.
"You have lost your mind!" Mojo said.
"No I did not!" said Princess in defense. "Don't you see, those boys were adopted by the rich Dr. William Edwards, head of the Edtech Corp, though he's not as rich as my Dad…"
"Wait a minute, Princess! I did a little research," Mojo interrupted, "and it turns out that Edwards is richer than your Dad!"
"Don't interrupt me! And I don't care what your stupid research says—my dad is richer than that Edwards guy! Anyway, all I have to do is marry one of them and I'll get all his wealth!" Princess schemed.
"You forget a couple of things," Mojo countered. "First, how can you marry them? You're underage and just six. Second, how are you sure that one of them would actually want to marry you? Third, even if you do succeed to actually persuade one of them to actually marry you, I'm doubtful he will allow his son to marry you, and even if you did, you still won't have Edwards wealth because he is still alive and I don't think he'll give any to you."
"Oh hush, you silly old monkey," Princess said. "Do you really think I haven't thought of those before? First, if the courts allow five year old girls like me to be thrown in jail, then having six year old kids marry is not so impossible. Plus, Daddy's lawyers and bribes to judges and the media will fix any problem on that score."
"And once the Powerpuff Girls are out of the picture, those boys would naturally fall for my charms, and I could easily pick one of them. As for Dr. Edwards, well, let's just assume he might face a slight 'accident' which would kill him, and in their grief, the boys would want to find comfort, and one of them will turn to me."
"You're mad if you think you can pull this one off!" Mojo said, looking at her with disgust.
"Not as mad as some of your plans for destroying the Powerpuff Girls," Princess retorted. "And I'm not pulling it off. We are!"
"Well, what do I get out of it?"
"You get the Powerpuff Girls," said Princess.
"Fair enough. What's your plan?" asked Mojo.
Princess Morebucks two small pellets from her pocket and handed it to Mojo.
"These pellets, when you throw them on the ground, produces a very lethal gas. Well, not exactly lethal, but this gas is strong enough to knock out even a creation of chemical X for hours, so just use it, and for a few hours, the girls would be in dreamland ready for your picking."
"Hm, that's brilliant. Not nearly as brilliant as my plan to use my Robo Jojo, but brilliant nonetheless!" Mojo Jojo said. "Now I can have my revenge on those accursed annoying Powerpuff Girls for all the humiliations they've inflicted on me and for preventing me from taking over Townsville, and eventually, the world!"
Princess just rolled her eyes at Mojo's rant. "Just remember, I must not be involved!"
Meanwhile…
"Hello," said Dr. Edwards in his phone.
"Hello, Bill Edwards," said the voice.
"Spencer Morebucks?" said William Edwards. "The name I William, W-I-L-L-I-A-M, not Bill. You know how I hate that nickname. So how's my business competitor and former classmate doing?"
"Very good! Business is on a roll!" Mr. Morebucks said, though without the usual swagger.
"I'll say it is, Spence! Though far behind Edtech Corp. in earnings, savings, productivity, profits and every other conceivable category. But nonetheless, your company did have a good year," Edwards stated.
"We'll catch up and overtake you soon enough, Bill," said Spencer Morebucks.
"We'll see, Spence, we'll see," said a confident Edwards. "And my name's William, not Bill!"
"Yes, Bill," said a chuckling Morebucks.
The doctor was annoyed, but he decided to ignore it. "Anyway Spence, this isn't a mere social call, is it?"
"Of course not, Bill," said Morebucks. "I heard that you purchased a worthless metallic hide for a billion dollars. I thought you've lost it, so I decided to be generous and offer to buy it for 2 billion dollars."
"I'm not a fool, Spencer," Edwards replied. "And you know that too. Sorry, I have to turn down that generous offer. Besides, I'm a scientist. I'd like to find out what secrets that hide holds," said Dr. Edwards.
"Final offer," said Morebucks. "Bill, will you or won't you sell!"
"I won't," says Dr. Edwards.
"Okay, but you'll regret this," said Morebucks.
Dr. Edwards just hung the phone.
"You'll regret this, Edwards, you'll regret this. I'll get my hands on that hide no matter what!" Morebucks said. "And I'll destroy you afterwards."
Meanwhile…
The girls were packing their clothes for their weekend.
"I can't believe we're spending two whole days with the boys," Bubbles exclaimed as she packed her dresses in her bag.
"Me too," Buttercup exclaimed. "Even if I don't like them, I'd love to see what kind of training facility Dr. Edwards have and what kind of training those boys have! Then I'd become the greatest fighter among the Powerpuff Girls." She then gave an evil laugh.
"What I really want to see is those books I saw on the shelf when we first went there. And I've just got to see those lovely computers. I'm sure that it's the latest model! And I'd like to see his lab! And I'd like to see the books Brick and his brothers are reading. I mean I want to know how they had such high scores in the entrance test," Blossom said.
"Typical of you to read books on a weekend!" Buttercup said. "Look at me and Bubbles, we're not bookworms yet we got very high scores, more than 90 in fact."
"Yeah, but not as high as mine!" Blossom said. "But it would be much better if I were number one! After I become the leader of them, I'll find out Brick's secret why he became that smart in two months, and I'll outdo him and I'll be so out in front that he won't have a prayer of catching up!"
"Oh Blossom, do you always have to be so competitive?" asked Bubbles.
"Of course," Blossom said. "Competition and the drive to be the best is what truly makes one great! One of the best things about those boys coming around is that it keeps us from rusting."
"What do you mean?" asked Buttercup.
"Well, you see, before those boys came," said Blossom, "we were pretty complacent. We were the only superheroes before, our opponents our laughable, we were the most powerful beings on the planet, we were smarter than most kids our age, we received unqualified, unshared adulation from the people. We committed our share of mistakes, but the people always forgave us."
"And it's all gone!" Buttercup said bitterly. "How is that a good thing!"
"Because it keeps us on our toes! Tell me Buttercup, if those boys hadn't arrived, would you be as strong now as you were before."
"Well, no," Buttercup said. "I think I know where you're going right now. Yeah, we would never have trained if it wasn't for us being beaten by the boys the first time around!"
"But we don't need to beat those boys in the first place," argued Bubbles. "They turned out not to be evil in the first place! So we don't need to be stronger than them. What we need to be is to be friendlier!"
"Yes we do need to beat them!" Blossom replied. "You see, we haven't gotten much stronger during our first year, because we didn't see a need to. But there are many close calls that would have been a much easier fight had we been stronger. Just remember that alien?"
"You mean the one that was so strong that we asked Mojo to beat him for us?" Bubbles asked.
"Yup, but if we were stronger and smarter, we could have beaten it ourselves. And if another alien very much stronger than that attacks us, or some very unspeakable horror with enormous powers, we would be sitting ducks right now. But those boys showed us that they are determined to best us, and to top us, and that in itself is enough motivation for me to work hard enough so they wouldn't," said Blossom. "And all of us, including the boys, would be better off for it, and so will the town, the country and the world. So if another alien with incredible powers attack, we won't be sitting ducks!"
"So you're telling us that competing with the boys will make us stronger?" said Buttercup. "Well, I hate to admit it, but you're right on this one, Blossom. But I'll still be the toughest, tougher than you Blossom, and tougher than Butch or any of his brothers!" she then laughed again.
"I guess you're right, Blossom," Bubbles said. "But I think it would be harder for us to be friends because of this."
"Don't worry, Bubbles. Healthy competition isn't bad for friendships. In fact, it makes you closer if you compete with them!" Blossom comforted.
"Really?" said Bubbles.
"Yup," said Blossom.
"I hope so," a pessimistic Bubbles replied. "They're really nice, and it would be great if we work together because we're friends, not because we need to compete."
"I'd disagree with you on them being nice, Bubbles," Blossom said. "But if we work together, even if it were to compete, would go a long way of making them friends."
"I guess so," Bubbles said.
"That is why my plan to make them allies with me as leader must succeed!" Blossom said. "Because we can't compete with those boys if we always rely on the incompetent police and mayor to warn us. Making them allies levels the playing field!"
"Yeah, but do you have to demand that you be the leader?" asked Buttercup.
"Why? You'd rather have Brick than me giving you orders?" Blossom said.
"Well, uh…"
"Good," she said as she inserted some books in her back pack. "Good. Glad you two are on the same boat as me!"
Meanwhile…
The boys were preparing for their Q&A session when Dad arrived.
"Boys, I have some great news!" Dr. Edwards announced with relish.
"You've taken over the Morebucks Inc.?" asked Brick.
"Blossom decided not to show her face again?" Butch asked.
"You've won the Nobel Prize?" asked Boomer.
"No, no, no!" their father replied. "None of those. The Powerpuff Girls are gonna spend the entire weekend here."
The boys reacted as Dr. Edwards expected them to.
"Aw Dad, do they have too?" asked Butch.
"Yeah Dad, why do they have to? I mean, can't they spend their weekend at their home?" Brick added.
"Actually no," the Doctor said. "Professor Utonium is going to attend a conference in New York City so he needs someone to take care of the girls this weekend."
"But Dad, how about the other people here? Like Ms. Keane, or Ms. Bellum," Brick asked.
"They're not in town for the weekend. It's a kooky coincidence, I know, but what the heck, it happened!" said Dr. Edwards. "And I've already agreed to it, so the girls are spending the weekend here."
"But Dad, where will they stay?"
"Let me remind you, Brick, that we have two extra rooms here. And one of them is large enough and has enough accommodations."
"Dad, are you gonna ask us to be nice to them?" Boomer asked.
"I'm not asking for you to be nice to those girls," said Dr. Edwards.
"Really?" said Brick and Butch, with anticipation gleamed in their eyes.
"I'm expecting it! I expect you to be nice to those girls," said Dr. Edwards with finality, wiping the gleams in the eyes and the grins in the faces of Brick and Butch. "And I'd like to remind you that I'll be easily irritated and will probably have a short temper this weekend, so don't do anything that would make me mad, like not being nice to the girls. Or else!"
Dr. Edwards' eyes gave no doubt to the boys on what he meant, even if his tone does not.
"Yes Dad," was all the three could say.
"Good. Now let's go on with our Q&A session," Dr. Edwards said.
Later that night…
That night was a brutal one for the boys. The Q&A session was so tough that Brick only gained a net 25 cents while Butch and Boomer lost three dollars and a dollar and three quarters, respectively.
"This sucks!" Butch commented. "I hate this."
"Well, things aren't so bad," Boomer said. "At least we can get to know them better."
Butch looked at his brother as if he was out of his mind. "Are you crazy? You actually sound like you wanted to be chubby with them!"
"No I do not," Boomer defended. "Being friends with them is far different from getting to know them and getting along with them. I don't want to be friends with them, especially Blossom, but I want us to get closer to the only other kids with chemical X super powers!"
"You're just saying that because you secretly like that blond girl!" Butch accused.
"Don't hit below the belt, Butch!" shouted Boomer. "That's not true! And you know it!"
"Then why do you say we need to get close with those girls?" Butch questioned.
"Because…" Boomer began, but was unable say something.
"What? Cat got your tongue! Maybe because what I said is true?" Butch teased.
"Nope! I don't like Bubbles that way, but I owe her one," said Boomer. "So getting along with at least Bubbles is a good thing."
"Alright already!" said Brick, who had been listening. "You two shut up! Butch, Boomer is right. I also owe Bubbles a debt of gratitude, so you're wrong to assume that Boomer's in love with Bubbles, because I certainly am not! But Boomer, your wrong about us needing to get to know them better, because I think I already know them well enough."
"So?" asked Boomer.
"Well, I once thought it would be best if we just would run the Powerpuff Girls out of the superhero business if they didn't accept me as leader, but I realized it won't be in our interests," said Brick.
"Your delusional, Brick," Butch commented.
"Aw shut up!" Brick said. "I talked about it with Dad and he said it was a bad idea. He said we needed the girls to help us."
"See! I was right!" Boomer boasted.
"Not quite," said Brick. "That is, if we don't use an alliance to get the girls to help us."
"What d'ya mean?" asked Butch. "How can those girls help us if we don't join forces?"
"Simple. My plan is, if they reject my demand that they accept me as leader in the alliance, is to divide the responsibility. We would get to take care of monsters and villains except Mojo, while they would take care of all the criminals and would help the people. Thus we would get the glory, while they would get the hard work! Plus, we won't need any alliance to do that. All I have to do is tell Dad to report all crime and Mojo's attacks to the mayor while reporting all monster and villain attacks to us! And we could stay away from them! Our life will become much easier. Best of all, Dad would approve."
"That's not bad at all," said Butch. "But will those girls accept it?"
"They have too," said Brick. "It's either they join us in an alliance with me as leader, or accept my proposal that they fight only criminals and Mojo Jojo, or they could just take a crime-fighting vacation until we tire ourselves out."
"But why leave Mojo to them?" asked Boomer.
"Because," Brick lectured, "if you forget, we made a promise to Mojo that we won't harm him or beat him up under any circumstances unless he harms Dad or any of his properties. Remember, he's our original creator, our Pops, and we still have a tiny loyalty to Mojo left. But we didn't promise to help him if the Powerpuff Girls attacked him, so I see nothing wrong there if Mojo becomes naughty."
"Yeah," Butch added. "I hate Mojo Jojo for how he treated us, but still, he originally created us, so I guess we have to leave him to the girls."
It was the morning of September 5, Friday.
"Now girls, be good," said the Professor. "I'm heading for the airport about two hours from now. Don't worry, I'll drop off your things at Dr. Edwards's house!"
"Don't worry about us, Professor," Buttercup said.
"Yeah, we'll be good!" Bubbles added.
"And thanks for dropping our things for us Professor," Blossom said.
"No problem," said the Professor.
"Bye Professor!" said the three girls simultaneously.
"Bye girls!" the Professor replied.
The girls raced for school.
However…
They were flying leisurely towards school when Blossom saw something fast flying towards them.
"Girls, watch out!" Blossom said. "It's a rocket!"
The Powerpuff Girls ducked just in time, missing the girls but continuing towards a house.
"Bubbles, try and get the people out of that house!" Blossom ordered. "Buttercup, you and I try and stop that rocket!"
"Right Blossom!" Bubbles said. Bubbles went to the house and scooped out the people there-an elderly couple and their two-year-old grandchild.
Buttercup grabbed it by its tail. It didn't stop, but was slowed down considerably.
'Good, now that it's slow enough, I can freeze it!'
Blossom then went directly in front of the rocket and used her ice breath to put the rocket on ice. Soon, the ice froze its engine, and it dropped like an anvil to the ground, shattering into a million pieces upon impact.
"Whew, glad that's over!" Blossom said.
"Or is it?" a low accented masculine voice said, then cackled.
The three turned and saw none other than Mojo Jojo.
He is laughing in his new suit that has jet rockets which allows him to fly. It also has rocket launchers, enabling him to shoot rockets like the one he just shot.
"Shut your trap, Mojo, you're going down!" Buttercup said.
"Well, you have to catch me first, and you can't do that while you're chasing this rocket!"
He then fired a rocket at the trio, then blasted off towards the forest, laughing all the way.
The rocket was fast, and before the girls could react, it reached them and exploded.
"Muhahaahah," Mojo Jojo said. 'I don't need that Princess's devices to defeat the Powerpuff Girls. I can do it myself!' He then stopped to view the expected carnage. The smoke lifted and there were no Powerpuff Girls.
'That was my most powerful rocket. That should take care of them!'
"Not so fast, Mojo Jojo!" Blossom said, who in a blink of an eye, appeared in front him without a scratch. She was smirking proudly, with her arms crossed, staring down Mojo Jojo, looking every inch a leader.
Besides her was Buttercup, also without a scratch, frowning, with fist ready to go.
At Blossom's left is Bubbles, grinning. "Hi Mojo!" she said.
"How could you survive my rocket attack! That is my most powerful rocket and I specifically designed it to be powerful enough so that you would not survive it! And how could you be so fast as to overtake my fastest jet rocket, and go 2000 yards in just a second? You're not that strong and fast!" Mojo ranted.
"Mojo, guess what. We are," Buttercup said.
"Oh shoot!" Mojo said. "No matter!" He then pressed his jet rocket to maximum power, and flew as fast as he could away from the Powerpuff Girls—towards the forest.
"After him!" Buttercup shouted, but she was preempted by Blossom.
"No, not yet," Blossom said. "Let him fly and let him think he's escape us, then show him a demonstration of how fast we really are!"
"Why aren't those Powerpuffs following me?" Mojo Jojo wondered as he couldn't detect the puffs going after him.
Suddenly, the girls suddenly appeared in front of him.
"It's over," Buttercup said.
Mojo quickly recovered his shock at their speed. "That's what you think!" said Mojo. He then pressed a button on his watch and a huge robot appeared. He then jumped to its control room. "Behold, my new and improved and expanded Robo Jojo! With this piece of machinery, I will finally fulfill my destiny! This is the most powerful, most technologically advanced, most destructive robot ever! With this, I will gain revenge, I will destroy you, I will remove you from this planet, I will erase you from existence, I will kill you!"
The robot was magnificently made, and has an impressive appearance. About fifty feet high, it opened its palms.
"Take this," Mojo said, and a huge laser beam erupted forth from the open palm of the new and improved and expanded Robo Jojo. "Ha, ha, ha! That is the most powerful concentration of laser in the world! Even you won't survive this!"
The laser hit the three, and seconds later, they were still standing, like before, without any damage whatsoever.
Bubbles pretended to yawn. "It's that all you can do, Mojo?"
Mojo stared just wide-eyed at the girls. "How can that be! A couple of months ago, a laser half the strength of this nearly killed you, while this has no effect on you? No matter, this rocket, containing the equivalent of 3000 TNT plus more, is the most powerful rocket, even more than the most powerful rocket of the U.S. Military." He fired it at the girls, who didn't even attempt to dodge.
Soon, there was a large explosion. In fact, it was so large that the Robo Jojo was nearly blown away. Soon, the explosion ended, and there was a huge crater in the middle of the forest, with hundreds of uprooted trees. But in the midst of it were three girls, the Powerpuff Girls were floating in the air, unharmed.
"What the? How powerful are these girls?" Mojo said in amazement. "A few months ago, an explosion half as powerful as this sent them unconscious."
"Give up Mojo! Nothing you could throw at us will match our power!" Blossom boasted. 'Well, at least our training paid off-big time. And to think, we're this strong-all because we need to beat the Rowdyruff Boys because we think they were evil.'
"I'll through playing games with you pathetic Powerpuff Girls," Mojo said, and he used his Robo Jojo to punch Blossom. The fist of the robot cracked, and it became useless. Blossom was unhurt. She then yanked the arm from the rest of the robot.
"Looks like you're disarmed," Blossom said. "Buttercup, take care of the legs. Bubbles, take care of the body. I'll deal with Mojo myself."
"Right!" Bubbles said, then proceeded to do her orders.
Buttercup said nothing but followed Blossom's orders anyway.
Blossom broke through the control room and dragged Mojo from it. She was surprised to see Mojo sport a gas mask. "This is the end of the road for you, Mojo," said Blossom.
Mojo just watched as his Robo Jojo exploded as Buttercup and Bubbles took care of it.
After the destruction of the new and improved and expanded Robo Jojo, the girls dropped Mojo on the ground.
"What do you have to say for yourself Mojo?" Buttercup asked.
"Yeah, before we drop you off to jail," Bubbles added.
"And how does it feel to find us invincible!" boasted Blossom.
"All I can say is this!" Mojo then took a small pellet and threw it into the ground. It broke and a greenish yellowish gas emerged.
"Oh no, girls, run, its…" But before Blossom could finish she collapsed. Buttercup was the quickest to react, and tried to fly away, but by the time she was high in the air, she had inhaled enough of the gas that she collapsed in the air and fell to the ground. Bubbles did not react fast enough, and before she knew anything else, she was unconscious.
"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!" Mojo said, laughing. "You might have been more powerful than ever before, but you're not invincible. In the end, it is I, Mojo Jojo, who is victorious." He then looked with obvious glee at the three unconscious girls at his feet. "Better move quickly."
He then took out from his pocket a small remote device, and pressed a button. Ten minutes later, a van appeared nearby.
"What took you so long, Ace?" Mojo demanded.
"Never mind. Where's my reward?" asked Ace.
"Oh here it is," said Mojo, and he gave the leader of the Gang Green Gang a briefcase full of money. "Now off you go!"
Ace was delighted. He then called someone using his cell phone, and a fifteen minutes later, Snake arrived with a stolen car, and in a few more minutes, was gone.
Mojo was left alone with the girls and the van. He then took out some things from the back of the van.
'With this duranium cuffs, the girls would be helpless and unable to use their arms and legs,' he thought, as he flipped the unconscious Bubbles on her stomach, pulled her arms behind her, and cuffed her wrists. He then cuffed her legs. 'And finally, my newest invention, the gravity belt. If I strap it on their waists, they won't be able to fly.' He then strapped it on Bubbles' waist. 'Finally, my anti-laser sunglasses, which would make their laser-eye attacks ineffective, but they would still be able to see.'
He then flipped Bubbles on her back, and put it on her eyes. He then looked at Bubbles, who is now bound hand and foot with shades on. He repeated the procedure with Blossom and Buttercup.
"Now, even if you are fully awake, you would be totally helpless! No matter how strong you are, you can never break the duranium cuffs."
He then put the girls at the back of the van and he drove off towards his volcano top observatory.
Meanwhile…
Professor Utonium waited in his front door with his and his daughter's luggage beside him.
Soon, Dr. Edwards's car arrived.
"John, get your luggage and ass in," Dr. Edwards said. "Before I change my mind and let you walk to the airport."
Professor Utonium soon put all the luggage in the back of the car. He was about to go sit in front of the car when the Doctor said, "at the back, John."
"But William, there isn't any space at the back!"
"I still hate you John, so either squeeze yourself in the back, or you could walk to the airport," Dr. Edwards replied.
"But…please…is this the way to treat a long lost friend?" teased Utonium.
"At the back!" said Dr. Edwards.
"But…"
"Okay, but one word out of you and you'll go to the back," warned Dr. Edwards.
"Thanks," said Professor Utonium said.
The two men drove to the airport without a word to each other. After dropping the professor at the airport, the doctor drove home and put the girls' luggage in the spare room.
Meanwhile…
Mojo looked at the unconscious, bound girls. 'Now all I have to decide is how to kill them? Hm, I think a little gloating is in order! But Princess told me never to tell anybody about this. Nah, who is she to tell me what to do!' He then proceeded to write two letters, one addressed to Professor Utonium and the other to…
That afternoon…
"How was your day in school?" asked Dr. Edwards when his sons arrived from school.
"Well, it's not bad," said Boomer.
"Yup, especially because the girls were absent," Butch added.
"That's strange. The Professor told me that he saw the girls off to school,"
"Well, I guess they're just playing hooky," Brick remarked. "By the way, there's mail."
"I hope it isn't bills or junk mail," said the doctor, and opened it and proceeded to read it. Meanwhile, the boys went upstairs to study and to play-but mainly to play.
September 5
Dear Doctor William Edwards,
I wrote to tell you to inform you of something very important. I am making an announcement! I am telling you that I have the Powerpuff Girls. I am gloating, I am boasting, I am saying that I have defeated the previously undefeated, the champion of Townsville, the superheroes of Townsville, the Powerpuff Girls. And I come to tell you that you, the one who stole the Rowdyruff Boys from me, Dr. Edwards, cannot do anything about it. You're helpless, and you won't be able to save the Powerpuff Girls, you who had the audacity to take my boys away from me!
And furthermore, don't even think of using the Rowdyruff Boys against me. It won't work. The Rowdyruff Boys are useless. You can't use the Rowdyruff Boys against me because we have a previous agreement last time we met, the Rowdyruff Boys promised me that they wouldn't bother me as long as I don't do anything to you, Dr. Edwards, or your property! Ha, and since the Powerpuff Girls clearly is not your property, you cannot force and compel the boys to rescue the girls where I have hidden them, in the middle of Townsville Park at the top of the volcano top observatory! Ha, ha, ha, ha!
Sincerely,
The Greatest Evil Genius this World has Ever Produced, the Super Villain, the New Ruler of Townsville and Future Ruler of the World,
Mojo Jojo
