Black thick liquid seeped from tubes , that were in Buttercup's wrist sucking out the Chemical X into a bag. Buttercup was unconscious breathing ever so slightly her skin was a bit pale , her lips were parted as air escaped between them. Blossom stood next to her in a lab coat , fiddling with her rubber gloves "You sure that this will work ?" she asked Brick. He turned from looking at a computer monitor "I'm sure , removing the Chemical X should help with the symptoms ... but she will lose her powers" he smiled meekly. Blossom nodded and sighed "Whatever it takes to get her to back to normal" she looked back at Buttercup , "she'll feel useless though...and she wouldn't be able to fight along side us anymore". Blossom swallowed back her tears , "As long as I still have her none of that will matter" she sighed Brick watched Blossom then went back to the monitor. "She's seventy-five percent finished" he announced , Butch sat on the steps in the lab the most worried out of anyone in the house. His knees were to his chest , while he gripped his black pants leg his knuckles turning white. He was thinking of nothing but of Buttercup , praying , hoping that she'll be okay. "Brick said she would ...I have to have faith that she will" he would keep repeating under his breath , yet it gave him no comfort.

Buttercup was laying on a hill with green grass cushioned under her frame , she sat up looking around seeing a black tree behind her. Black leaves ripped away from the tree , by the wind Buttercup stood up "Where am I?" she thought and looked around then , the blowing leaves slowed down. Except for one single leaf that danced in the air till it reached the palm of her hand. It sat there catching her attention , then it spread out like ink on her hand. "Ick" she shook her hand hoping to fling the putrid ooze off , she looked at her palm and noticed it was still there. Buttercup bent down and wiped it on the grass , she lifted up her hand again seeing that the black ooze grew to the length of her hand , and was making it's way up her wrist. "Get off !" she hollered and tried to pull it off , flinging bits of it on the grass , the grass began to sizzle . Buttercup tripped over a rock and tumbled down the hill , and into a crystal clear lake. She quickly floated to the surface , crawling up the shore coughing a bit , she noticed black dots on the dirt. Buttercup felt her hand touch her mouth , and had a hot warmth engulf her fingertips. She looked at it quickly assuming she was bleeding , her fingers were coated with black gunk. Buttercup jumped up in surprise and tried to wipe it off , spitting violently , and wiping her arm. The lake's water rose up to her ankles , she looked down , trembling in fear at her reflection. It was of a large black horned demon creature with green eyes piercing through her very soul.

She fell back onto her butt and scurried back , the lake water began to ripple and there was a low growl. The demon like creature began to emerge from the water , it large intimidating structure toward over Buttercup. She tried to run but fell in the water .

Buttercup sat up coughing , her heart rate on the monitor was beeping rapidly , as she held her chest. "Buttercup are you okay ?!" Blossom asked a little startled from the sudden outburst , Buttercup nodded slightly "Where am I ?" she asked. "In the lab " Brick answered , Buttercup looked around and held her head feeling a little clammy. "What happened Buttercup ?" Butch asked "I just had a nightmare that's all" she swung her legs over the edge of the table. "So...do you remember who we are ?" Bubbles asked , "of course I know who you guys are what kind of question is that to ask" Buttercup scoffed slightly. Everyone let out a large sigh in unison "It was a success" Blossom grinned "What was a success ?" Buttercup asked , Bubbles hugged her"Yay, welcome back Butters !" she hollered. "What are you talking about I didn't go anywhere" Buttercup frowned with wide eyes , "Will someone tell me what's going on , why am I in the lab , why are you all acting like I died" she huffed.

Her questions fell to deaf ears , while her sisters hugged her in joy she mumbled under her breath in annoyance. "You people are giving me the creeps" she grumbled feeling Bubbles rub her cheeks against hers , "Blossy we should make a celebration cake" Bubbles suggested releasing Buttercup from her deadly embrace. "Good idea Bubs I think we still have cake mix" Blossom grinned making her way upstairs , Bubbles tailing behind . "Ohhh Cake Buttercup you should go senile more often " Brick drooled making his way up the steps. Buttercup closed her eyes feeling a vein throb "I feel really left out " she rumbled , Butch patted her shoulder "It's nothing important...you just lost your memories " Boomer informed. Buttercup's eyes widened as she looked at him "S-Say what ?" her voice cracked. "Yeah you lost your memory and you were acting different " he said , Buttercup looked at Butch to confirm Boomer's story. Butch looked at her and nodded slightly "But you're all better now , Brick took out all your Chemical X " he babbled. "All- All of my Chemical X" she repeated losing her ability to breath properly. "Oops I wasn't supposed to tell you that" he covered his mouth quickly , Butch glared daggers at the blonde boy. Buttercup jumped off the table and rushed upstairs , "Okay Bubs hand me the eggs" Blossom asked , "Here you go" Bubbles chimed. "Thank you" Blossom cracked them and began to whisk , while Brick stuck his finger into the icing bag. "And hand me some Mi-" "When were you going to tell me that my powers are gone .." Buttercup interrupted , the comfortable feeling in the room was zapped away.

Blossom looked at Buttercup along with Bubbles , Brick glanced at her "Damn Boomer such a blabber mouth" he cursed. "When were you going to tell me!?" Buttercup hollered Brick jolted a bit from her voice , "Were you guys just going to celebrate and have fun like nothing happened ! "."Buttercup calm down" Butch touched her shoulder Boomer stood near him , she smacked his hand away "Get away you're just as guilty!". She turned and sneered at them all "Were you all just going to lie to me , and let me find out that I don't have them on my own?! Answer me ! Huh Blossy Bubbles ! Brick ! Butch ! lie and pretend everything is okay !" she hollered her grip tightened on the table. "Buttercup...we didn't know how to tell you , but it was the only way to save you , your Chemical X was destroying your memories , rebooting you" Brick said slowly , Buttercup felt her eyes grow heavy as gazed at the ground "I'm useless now..." she whispered "...aren't I?" she leaned up against the counter feeling a little weak. "Your powers are taken away Buttercup , you're not-" Brick's speech was cut short "Buttercup!" Bubbles screamed since Buttercup fell unconscious . Butch caught her , Blossom rushed to her quickly taking off her apron. She felt her pulse "is she okay ?" Bubbles asked "Yeah she's okay she just overworked herself a little".

"She needs some rest and she'll be okay" Brick suggested Butch nodded and made his way upstairs carrying her. "Useless..." she whispered slightly letting her hand fall , "How am I supposed to protect them now Mom...how ?" she thought .
