I Do NOT Own PPG, the Sonic franchise, or any song, what-so-ever
In the middle of a lake, there was a large and spacious castle. It seemed quiet, and empty from being abandoned for so many years. There was still furniture in the place, albeit a little dusty, however, it looked like they've been used lately. There was no electricity or any Internet connection whatsoever in the castle, so being here meant being completely disconnected from anything. The only thing that lights up the place at night are candles, however someone had brought a generator, so they could use things such as lamps, and charge up electrical appliances. Deep within the castle however, there was the sounds of quiet, muffled, and eerie laughter of what sounds like children. These sounds were coming from the depths of the old castle, and seemed like they lurk within the darkness, waiting for new people to scare.
Meanwhile, Sonic the Hedgehog yawns, as he was in a relaxed position on top of the castle, trying to get some shuteye. The gang was all there to see Mrs. Thorndyke act in another movie role. This time it seemed like it was a romance movie of sorts, and Lindsey was in a green dress, with her hair tied back. The director, with his crew, was talking to Lindsey about how the last scene was shot.
"Lindsey, you were fantastic in that last shoot, but I would like to shoot it one more time." The director said. "Take it slower, and really let those tears go." He then turned to the actor next to Lindsey, dressed fancy, who seemed like he's supposed to be Lindsey's character's love interest. "And Roger, please try to show some feeling this take." Lindsey then waved to the others, as Chris, Tails, Amy, and the other three girls were there, watching the whole shoot. Chris waved back, awkwardly, as he rarely ever travels with his own mom to her movie sets, and because of Sonic and the others, he can just about do that.
"Ella, why are you dressed like that?" Bubbles asked, as Ella walked up to them, all dressed up.
"Did mom get you a part in the movie?" Chris said.
"That's right." Ella said. "They needed someone to play as an extremely young and beautiful housekeeper, so they casted me. How do I look?"
"Same as you'll ever be." Buttercup said.
"Alright, let's go! Places please!" The director said.
They started filming the same scene in the movie again.
Lindsey's character is heartbroken that she found out that her fiancé is leaving her. Roger's character, Brad, has a suitcase in his hand, and is ready to go, and he looked like he wasn't happy with this decision as his fiancée, but he needed to go for a reason, and he turned back, and left his fiancée as she was sobbing, saying that she needs him.
"And cut! Print it!" The director said, satisfied with this take as he was with the last take.
"Sounds like she's really into that guy, Brad." Amy said, and Chris chuckles. Lindsey then walked over there.
"Was I good?" She asked.
"Great." Chris said, with Bubbles floating next to him, crying from that bit.
"Oh, please tell me what happens next in the movie!" Bubbles said, in her tears from the depressing scene they shot. "Will your character and Brad get back together?"
"Well, you'll just have to wait to find out." Lindsey said, and Bubbles let out a sigh.
"Being on a movie set isn't as nearly as fun as I thought when you want to know more about the movie itself." She groaned.
"Oh, and that is an excellent use of fishing line there. It really gives the audience the idea that you're floating."
"Huh?"
The Powerpuff Girls looked at each other awkwardly, thinking Lindsey must still be oblivious that they have super powers. Lindsey then looked around.
"Oh, and where are your other friends you told me about?" She asked.
"We're right here." Tails said, motioning to him and Amy.
"My, those are marvelous costumes. You really look like a real fox. It's amazing what the makeup department can do with some fur and a pot of glue nowadays."
"Uh, Chris, didn't you tell your mom about us?" Blossom whispered to Chris.
"I tried to, but Mom's clueless sometimes." Chris said back.
"Y'know, I haven't seen Cream and Cheese and Sonic around in a while." Buttercup said. "Wonder where they went."
"I don't know." Tails shrugged.
"Rewind that!" The director exclaimed. Everyone walked over to where the director was, and he was on his computer, looking at the scene that they just did. He then stopped when he saw something peculiar in the trees. "There!" Cream and Cheese actually was looking over at the scene from the trees, and they unintentionally appeared in the scene.
"Uh oh." Blossom gulped, and had beady eyes.
"I didn't call for animals in this shot."
"Uh, Mr. Director, you can just edit that cute little animal out!" Blossom said, nervously, sweatdropping. "It's not her fault that she wanted to look at the movie."
"I guess so. Can you do that?" He asked his crew.
"Of course we can." One person said.
"Okay, that's fine. All right! Let's move onto the next scene!"
Chris and the other sighed relieved that they dodged a bullet.
Meanwhile, Sonic was exploring much of the depths of the castle. He walked down some stairs onto the brick flooring. At the same time, they were preparing to shoot the next part of the movie, where Mrs. Thorndyke's character is going after her fiancé. The group was sitting on some stairs, and out of the way of the camera, with everyone there, including Cream and Cheese.
"We'll be alright here." Chris said. "We're out of camera range."
"And action!"
Lindsey's character starts going after Brad, yelling after him to not leave, and that she needs him.
"This really reminds me of Gone with the Wind." Blossom said, referencing to a scene in that movie.
"'Frankly Madam, I don't give a-'" Buttercup started playfully reciting the famous scene in Gone with the Wind, until they heard a thud, and they stopped. They saw that the camera had smacked against a sculpture of an hourglass on a pedestal. The hourglass wasn't attached to it, but it was pretty sturdy to withstand the impact of a camera swerving onto it. The top of the hourglass has a crescent moon on it with a star.
"I didn't even see this thing here." The cameraman said. "What is it? Some kind of crazy sculpture? I guess I'll move it out of the way." He then puts his hands on the sculpture, and instantly, the area Sonic was in, inside the castle started to glow with an ominous looking purple. Blossom's danger sense was going off as well. Something must be wrong here. "On second thought, I'll just move the camera." The cameraman said, taking his hands off it, and then started repositioning the camera. The purple glow in the area then receded, and Blossom's danger sense went away. Both Sonic and Blossom was looking around them.
"What is it, Blossom?" Tails asked.
"Something felt, off all of a sudden…" Blossom said.
"I don't think this is part of the movie." Sonic said at the same time in the area of the castle he's in. They both got the feeling that something strange is happening.
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go

EPISODE 19:
King Boom Boo in the Old Castle!
They shot another take, this time with the camera moved backwards a little bit, and as it was swerving, the hourglass sculpture got in the way again.
"Ugh. This isn't going to work." The cameraman mumbled, and then finally took off the hourglass. Once again the strange feeling came back, and Sonic checks the corridor behind him. He hears the strange laughter of children, and starts to walk out of there. Better safe than sorry he says. As they were going to shoot the third take topside, Blossom stares at the hourglass that the cameraman had taken off the pedestal, and starts to suspect something.
Later that night, the castle was very dark. Pitch black almost. In the maze of corridors below the castle, the crew was shooting another part of the movie that involved Lindsey's character to walk down a corridor, holding up a lit candelabrum. She walks down the corridor, and past a mysterious wall, engraved with strange symbols, until the soundman told the director that he heard a strange noise.
"Sorry, but there's some strange noise." He said.
"Cut!"
Meanwhile, Sonic looks out a window, and stares at the courtyard below him. All is quiet down below, and he ran back into the castle.
The sound crew meanwhile was checking on the mysterious noise that they just heard. They tried to listen for it again, however, they didn't hear anything anymore.
"That's funny. Everything looks normal…" The soundman said.
"Anything wrong?" The scriptwriter asked, walking towards the person.
"Seems like everything's fine."
"Alright. Take Two! Action!" The director called out.
They retook the scene once again, with Lindsey's character walking down the same corridor again. All seems fine, until she walked past the wall with the strange symbols again, and the soundman announces that he hears it again.
"Cut! That's a wrap. I hate working on location…" The director mumbled.
The director dismissed everyone, and they went to the living quarters to sleep for the night. Lindsey was mixing up her makeup, when she hears the door open to her bedroom. Chris was there.
"Chris, still awake?" She said.
"I just wanted to come over to say goodnight." Chris said.
"Oh, you're such a darling." Chris's mom then hugged him, very tightly, like she always does, considering she doesn't get the chance to hug him that much with her busy schedule.
"See ya in the morning."
"Off you go."
"Be sure to try your hardest tomorrow on set."
"Until tomorrow."
Meanwhile the soundman was in the corridors again, with a microphone, trying to listen in for anything that he had heard down there.
"I can't sleep until I figure out what made that noise." He mumbled, as he walks down the dark corridors.
Chris yawns, and enters in the bedroom that he's staying in. He notices that it was empty, except for Tails, who was reading a book.
"Where is everybody?" He asked, as he walks up to Tails.
"The girls are having a sleepover in Ella's room." He said.
"And Sonic?"
"He's probably exploring around as usual."
"I sure do hope he doesn't get into any sort of trouble."
Sonic continues to walk outside, exploring around the place. He's been doing this ever since sensing the mysterious force in the dark corridors under the castle. He searches around, looking for anything odd. He then noticed the pedestal up ahead that used to have the talisman on it. Sonic walks up to it, and sees the hourglass talisman on the ground nearby. Curious, he picks it up, and observes it. It has a crescent moon with a star on one side, and a sun on the other…
"I wonder what this thing is for..." Sonic said, observing it.
The soundman continues to walk through the corridors, until passing by the wall with the strange symbols on it. It was there where he was able to locate where the source of the strange noises were.
"Ah! Right here!" He exclaimed, as he faced the wall. He hears the eerie laughter of children behind the wall. "Sounds like some kids are behind this thing…" Then, strange figments appeared around him, with creepy faces on them. They had a smile, with stiches on them, and dark eyes. Their bodies looked like bed sheets, with fabric on them to represent their arms and legs. "Huh?" The soundman looks behind him, noticing the presence of the apparitions, however he saw nothing, as the ghosts disappeared from plain sight.
Meanwhile, Lindsey was still fixing up her makeup, when she heard the voices of children again. She looked towards the door, thinking somebody's out there, playing tricks on her.
"Huh? Chris, honey?" She called out, only to receive no answer. She then shrugged, and went back to her makeup, only to hear more laughing again, and now she got irritated. "Alright, come out here. This little joke has gone off far enough." She then took a good look around the room, to see no one is here. Just a dark room lit up with a lit up candle in it. "I thought I heard something. Must have been the wind…" Though while she was looking off towards the room, and away from the mirror, the reflected image of herself turned towards her, and revealed to have an eerie face. "It's been such a long day…Huh?" She then noticed the mirror, and how different it was.
"Well, hello there." The image talked in a low, creepy voice that surprised Lindsey.
Meanwhile, in one of the castle's bathrooms, the trio was about to get dressed for bed, when they noticed their sister in red pondering.
"What's wrong, Blossom? You've been acting weird ever since they've finished shooting today." Buttercup said.
"It's just this feeling I'm getting…" Blossom said.
"What feeling? You mean your danger sense?"
"Yeah…Hmm…" She then got up. "I'm going to go out for a little bit."
"Blossom, wait! That might be a bad idea!" Bubbles blurted out, suddenly, looking scared.
"Huh? What do you mean, Bubbles?"
"What if someone with a machete comes and slice you up!? Or anything that's sharp to that matter!?"
"…All right, give me your phone." Blossom said, in annoyance.
"No!"
"Give me it!"
"No!"
"Bubbles!"
Bubbles whimpered, and gave Blossom her phone.
"You can't get into it, because I got a password on it!" Bubbles argued.
"Is the password, 'Octi'?" Blossom said, and Bubbles stayed silent there. On the virtual keypad, she puts in the numbers that associated with the letters, 6284, and the phone unlocked. "Seriously Bubbles, you need to make a less predictable password." She then went in the YouTube app, and started looking up the history folder, and saw a bunch of scenes from a slasher movie.
"Friday the 13th? Really? Who showed you this?" Blossom said. She then heard Buttercup whistling, and then she glared at her.
"Oh come on! You should have seen Bubbles's reaction to that and Nightmare on Elm Street! It was hilarious!" Buttercup said, laughing.
"Well now she's hiding under the covers."
"Actually, I think the covers are worse." Bubbles said, shuddering, sticking her head out from towels. "I'm not safe from anybody named Freddy! A serial killer or an animatronic!"
"…Did you also show Bubbles that game that people always hate when it's mentioned?" Blossom said to Buttercup.
"I may have." Buttercup said, snickering. "It was only 3 bucks in the app store. That and I made her play the other 4 games in the series. I do hate the game, but it's funny to laugh at people getting scared by stupid scares like this, right?"
"Bubbles, we're perfectly safe." Blossom said, ignoring Buttercup. "Remember what happened with the Boogie Man? We beat him just fine."
"But remembered when HIM snuck into our dreams?" Bubbles said. "Freddy Krueger can do that too, and he has a claw with blades! And that other Freddy pops out of the darkness without warning, and stuffs you inside a suit full of sharp stuff!"
"Y'know speaking of HIM and the Boogie Man, I wonder what they're doing back at home now that we're not there." Buttercup said.
"Uh…Let's just hope everything will be alright after we get back." Blossom said, remembering their trip to the future.
"Oh come on, Blossom, we only traveled to the future 50 years. I doubt HIM could do much damage out of several months."
"Anyway, don't worry. I'll be alright." Blossom said, going to the door. "I won't be long. I just need to look around the place." She then opened the door, and they got startled to see Ella on the other side. Especially Bubbles, who mistook her for a slasher villain.
"AHH! IT'S JASON!" Bubbles yelled, hiding under the towels.
"Girls!" Ella exclaimed. "Mrs. Thorndyke has gone missing. We need to look for her!"
"She disappeared!?" Blossom exclaimed.
"Oh no…They got her! They Got Her!" Bubbles yelled.
"Bubbles, would you shut up, and let's get looking!" Buttercup yelled.
"You brought this onto yourself, ya know?" Blossom said, glaring at Buttercup, as Bubbles was shaking.
The whole entire crew was outside, calling out to Chris's mom, trying to find out where she has gone. Most of everyone were outside looking for her, and calling her name, while Ella, Cream and Cheese, and Amy were down in the corridors looking for her. When they went past the wall with the weird symbols on it again, they heard the laughter again.
"Do you hear something, Cheese?" Cream said, getting scared, as Cheese was shouting in horror.
"I don't like the sounds of this, Ella." Amy said.
"It's coming from this wall." Ella said, looking at the wall with the strange symbols on it. She then begins knocking on it. "Excuse me, are you behind there Mrs. Thorndyke?"
"I'll go look for someone."
Amy turns to leave, when a ghost arm coming out of the wall stopped her, blocking the path. Soon there was more ghost arms coming out of the walls around them, and started surrounding them. They all screamed as loud as they can, alerting everyone.
"Amy!" Sonic yelled.
"Oh no! That was Amy, Ella and Cream!" Blossom yelled.
"Oh no! They got them too!" Bubbles yelled.
"Not unless we're there!" Buttercup yelled.
The three of them took off as quickly as they can, towards the dark corridors, and joined up with Chris and Tails. They got to the area Amy and the others were.
"Amy, what's wrong?" Tails said.
"Help me! Quick!" Amy yelled, pulling on Ella's arm. The arms had pulled Ella and Cream and Cheese into the wall, and Amy was trying to get them free. Not hesitating, the group ran towards Amy, and started helping. They pulled back on Ella's arm to get her free, but her arm slipped from their grip, and pulled her into the wall, making everyone fall back.
"Ella! Cream! Cheese!" Blossom yelled. Sonic then finally got over there, holding the hourglass talisman.
"What's going on?" Sonic said.
"Ella and the rest was pulled into the wall by some strange ghosts." Amy said.
"Ghosts?"
"Ahh! That's even worse!" Bubbles yelled.
The faces of the ghosts from earlier stuck their heads out of the wall, as a way of mocking them.
"There they are!" Blossom yelled, as she and Buttercup pulled back their arms, and tried to punch the ghosts, but they only hit the wall, breaking it, revealing an ominous purple portal behind it.
"What's that?" Amy said. Suddenly, more ghost arms came flying out of the wall, attacking the heroes. Amy, Chris, Tails and Bubbles all ran away, while Sonic, and the two other girls stuck around to fight them. They flew forward, and started attacking the arms, however the arms went invisible before they were even able to land a hit.
"Dang it! Our attacks went through it!" Buttercup exclaimed.
Suddenly, Tails got caught by the ghost arms, and was being dragged away.
"Tails!" Everyone yelled. He got dragged into the purple portal, and slipped into it.
"Hey! Give me back my buddy!" Sonic yelled. More ghost arms flew forward and tried to grab Sonic, but he jumped up high in the air, avoiding it. Unfortunately, more arms came, and grabbed him, dragging him into the portal.
"Sonic!" Everyone yelled.
"Sonic! I'm coming!" Blossom yelled, flying forward. However, she wasn't paying attention to anything, and let her guard down. More ghost arms flew forward, and grabbed her body, restraining her, and was dragging her into the portal too.
"No! Blossom!" Bubbles yelled.
"Let her go now!" Buttercup yelled, angrily flying forward, and shooting out her eye beams. Though since the arms were ghost arms, she wasn't able to hit them. In fact, she accidentally shot Blossom when trying to free her. "Nothing's working!"
"Guys! Run! Run as fast as you can!" Blossom yelled, as she was being pulled into the portal. "Forget about us! Just run! Go no-" Then a ghost arm wrapped around her mouth, cutting her off, and dragged her into the portal. Sonic soon was dragged into the portal as well, but not before he threw the talisman he was holding towards the group.
"Catch!" He yelled. Chris caught the talisman.
"What are we supposed to do with this?" He said. Then the rocks that crumbled off, when Blossom and Buttercup had punched the wall, was levitating, and was fixing up the wall, about to seal everyone into the weird purple portal.
"I found it lying outside beside a pedestal outside! That thing must have started this whole thing!" Then the wall had repaired itself, as Sonic was dragged into the portal, trapping everyone into the weird dimension that they were in.
"Sonic!" Amy yelled. She then began hammering the wall with her hammer, along with Buttercup. They were angrily attacking the wall, trying to get their friends and sister back. Unlike the last time, however, they couldn't even make a dent in the wall this time.
"You creeps!" Buttercup yelled, punching the wall. "Give me back my sister right now, or you'll be deader than dead!"
While the two girls were attacking the wall furiously, Bubbles sat on the ground, trembling, and holding her head in fear.
"They won't stop until they catch all of us. We're going to be ghost meals!" Bubbles shouted, feeling like she's going to cry. "I don't wanna-"
"Bubbles, shut up! You're not helping anything here by sitting there crying!" Buttercup yelled.
"But what are supposed to do? We can't hurt them, and they have our friends and sister…"
While the two argued, Chris stares at the talisman that Sonic threw over to him. He said that this thing was the cause of all the troubles around here, and tomorrow morning, they were going to investigate what the heck could be happening.
Morning rises, and there was police cars parked in front of the castle.
"We mobilized our staff to search for them all night." The director said, reporting this to the policemen. "We haven't spotted them at all."
"As expected…" One of the policemen said.
"As expected?" The soundman repeated. "What do you mean? Has something like this happened before?"
"Yes."
Meanwhile, the remaining heroes looked at the empty pedestal that Sonic had described before being pulled into the portal.
"This must be the pedestal that Sonic told us about." Amy said.
"There's something written on it." Bubbles said. "Appears under the Moon, Disappears under the Sun."
"What could that mean?"
Buttercup and Chris noticed something suspicious with the blades of grass near the pedestal. There was a slight wind blowing near them, and the weather around them wasn't blowing any wind at all. Buttercup turned on her X-Ray vision, and spotted a staircase underneath the pedestal.
"Hey, there's something beneath this thing." She spoke up. She then walked to the side of the pedestal, and punched it, making it slide to the opposite direction, and revealing the hidden staircase.
"Stairs?" Bubbles said.
"Well, let's go." Buttercup said. "Our friends and sister are down there somewhere, and I'm itching to get them back. Ooh, when I get my hands on those ghosts, they'll regret ever trying to haunt us."
"Wait! What if you get caught? We can't fight those things."
"I don't care."
"Me neither." Amy said. "If it gets Sonic back, I'll do all I can."
"But, don't you think we should let the police check it out?" Chris said.
"Oh that's funny. In my books, I thought we were the police." Buttercup said.
"M-Maybe they know what's going on here?" Bubbles said.
"Doubt it. If you two are chickening out, then don't stop us. We're getting stuff done."
Buttercup and Amy proceeded to go down the stairs first, making sure not to hit their head at the tight opening.
"But…" Chris said.
"Chris, I don't want to be alone without my sisters." Bubbles said, hugging Chris's arm. "What if something happens to Buttercup? What if those things take her, just like Blossom?"
"Uh, it's okay. They're strong. Uh, let's go after them to make sure they're okay. You're strong too, right?"
"Well, there was that one time where I went hardcore, but that's something that I don't want to remember."
"Well, if ya done something like that, then I'm sure you can face your fears."
"Okay…I guess."
Chris and Bubbles quickly followed, and started catching up to Buttercup and Amy.
The group was going down a dark spiral staircase, to a hidden area of the castle.
"Gee, I thought you two were chickening out for a moment." Buttercup said.
"Well, we can't hurt those things, so I don't know how we're going to beat them." Bubbles said. "And anyways, aren't you two scared as well?"
"Nope." Amy said.
"See Bubbles, ya gotta get those stupid horror movies out of your mind, and be brave like us." Buttercup said. "Nothing's scary here."
Then a water drop fell from the ceiling, and dropped onto Amy's shoulder, giving her a feeling that a ghostly hand was touching her shoulder, which made her shriek in horror.
Meanwhile, in a small enclosed dimension, where the walls, floor and ceiling is colored with a trippy violet color, every victim that got caught by the ghosts lays on the ground, unconscious, as a giant white ghost observes the victims that they have apprehended.
"Remember guys, the ghosts only gets stronger if you show them that you're afraid of them." Amy said.
"Says the hedgehog that got scared of a water droplet falling on her shoulder." Buttercup said.
Suddenly, they heard the eerie laughter of the ghosts again, and the small ghosts started rushing towards them from the other end of the hallway that they were going. This time, their faces had a creepier look to them, instead of the usual stitching that they have on their mouths. Their mouths opened up, showing their jagged teeth, in a huge grin that they have on their faces. Buttercup got ready to defend, while the others cowered in fear, with Bubbles grabbing the talisman in panic, and holding up in the air. Surprisingly, the ghosts stopped in their tracks, and only stared at the talisman in horror themselves. The ghosts then retreated to the other end of the hallway, leaving the others surprised, and confused.
"What's their deal?" Buttercup said.
"Are they afraid of this thing?" Bubbles said, staring at the talisman.
"Ah. Looks like we got our weapon against them!" Amy said. She then took Bubbles's hand, and they both rushed down the hallway. "Come on, Bubbles! Let's get out friends back!"
"Amy, wait!" Chris exclaimed, with him and Buttercup following. They kept running down the corridor, until they found themselves in another wide-open room.
"I wonder where this place leads to." Amy said.
"Blossom! Are you here!" Bubbles shouted.
"Hey, look!" Buttercup exclaimed, pointing to the ghosts retreating to a wooden door down a flight of stairs.
Meanwhile, Blossom and Sonic groaned, and started to wake up. They both were next to each other, so they got up, and looked at their mysterious surroundings.
"Whoa…Where the heck are we?" Blossom said.
"I have no idea." Sonic said.
Then, they heard a deep laughter behind them, and saw the giant ghost, 5 times their size.
"Uh…Hey there, big fella." Blossom said, nervously.
The remaining group stands before the wooden door.
"I'm ready if you're ready." Chris said.
"Yup." Amy said, holding the talisman.
They slowly creaked the door open a little, with Amy holding the talisman out first for defense, to see that nothing is attacking them at the moment.
"All clear."
"All clear, and dead end." Buttercup said, looking at the room that they were in. There was barely anything here, and no other doors to go through. "There's nothing here." All that was illuminating the place was ominous looking blue glowing flames on the wall. There was a square opening in the wall ahead of them. The four of them then started looking around a bit. "Where would they be?"
"Sonic!" Amy called out. "Sonic!"
In the purple dimension that the victims were trapped in, Sonic and Blossom noticed an opening behind them. It leads straight back to where Chris and the others were, in the room that they were in.
"Look! There's our way out!" Blossom exclaimed. She then jumped up into the air, and then dive-bombed towards the opening, only to fall flat onto her face, as this wasn't a portal. It was more or less an image of what was happening down there right now. Groaning, she picked herself up, and shook her head, dazed for a little bit. "My bad. I should have known they would pull a sneaky one like that…"
"Can they hear us, though?" Sonic said, rushing towards her. "Hey! Amy! Chris! Girls! Up here!"
They started calling out to the others, and instantly, the others down there looked up, and saw the two trapped in the dimension that they were in.
"There they are!" Bubbles exclaimed.
"Sonic! Blossom! Hold on! We're getting you out of there!" Buttercup exclaimed. The two girls then flew up, and started punching the ceiling to see if they would free them, however it wasn't working.
"That's not gonna work." Blossom said. "Listen to us, this is very important!"
"I've always loved you Amy." Sonic started talking, however, these aren't the words that Sonic was speaking. Sonic and Blossom aren't even aware that Sonic's words aren't the correct ones that he was speaking. In fact, this voice was entirely different. It was more low pitched. The group down there looked at each other in confusion.
"Sonic, this isn't the time for that!" Buttercup exclaimed, while Amy was flattered.
"Wha?" Sonic blinked in confusion. "No, I think you misheard me. Listen!"
"I think you are great and awesome Amy." Sonic once again spoke, but his words weren't correct again.
"Why, thank you, Sonic." Amy said, blushing.
"Something seems off." Bubbles said, as the two girls flew down to Chris and Amy.
"You can free me if you put that stone to the wall."
"Right Sonic." Amy said. "I'm sure glad that we brought this thing along." They then looked to the open space in the wall, and Amy started rushing over there.
"Amy, what are you doing!?" Blossom yelled. "We said DON'T put that thing on the wall! That's how the ghosts get power!"
"Is this where it goes?" Amy said, looking up to Sonic and Blossom…But mostly Sonic.
"Perfect Amy." The false Sonic voice said again. "Now place that stone on the wall with the moon side facing upwards."
"Moon side?" Amy said, looking at the talisman. She then turned it over, and saw the moon and star engraving on that side. "Ah, I see."
"Uh, I got a bad feeling about this." Bubbles said.
"Yeah, there's something odd going on with Sonic and Blossom." Buttercup said.
"It'll be fine." Amy said. "Sonic and Blossom knows what they're doing." She then was close to putting the talisman on the opening with the moon side facing up.
"Amy! Stop!" Sonic yelled.
"I love you, Amy."
"Oh Sonic!" Amy said, blushing. "Don't you feel embarrassed saying that in front of our friends?"
Suddenly, the pattern on the talisman started shining, and shot out a beam of light upwards. The group down below looked at it in astonishment, and was wondering what it was doing. Then, a portal appeared on the ceiling, and bright light shines out of it. When the light died down, the giant ghost, along with the other tiny ghosts appeared in the room before everyone, with Bubbles screaming in horror.
"Where did this guy come from!?" Buttercup exclaimed.
"I loooove you Amy." The giant ghost apparently was posing for Sonic's voice the entire time, and it was mocking Amy for her foolish actions in setting them free.
"Hey! You were pretending to be Sonic's voice, weren't you!?" Amy shouted in anger.
"That thing pretended to be us!" Blossom shouted. "Listen, you guys don't stand a chance against that thing! Get out of there! That's an order!"
"No way!" Buttercup yelled.
"Buttercup…" Bubbles said, nervously.
"I'm not gonna let these idiots keep you trapped in there!"
"And no one makes a fool out of me!" Amy shouted. The two of them jumped forward, and attacked the giant ghost in rage; however, it simply disappeared in sight, with the two landing on the ground, confused. The two then avoided ghostly hands from grabbing them, until one was going to catch Buttercup off guard.
"Buttercup!" Bubbles shouted. She was getting scared from all the ghosts that were around them; however, she knew that her sister was in danger. She then took a deep, shaky breath, and then flew forward, at fast speeds to Buttercup. "Watch out!" She exclaimed, pushing her sister out of the way, as the ghostly hands latched onto her.
"Bubbles! No!" Buttercup exclaimed, with everyone else gasping.
Trapped, Bubbles was brought up to the giant face of the giant ghost. She was trembling in fear, thinking that this thing was going to get ready to eat her.
"No! Please! Let me go! Let me go!" She continued to yell, while trying to get herself free, by hitting the ghostly hand multiple times, but it wouldn't let go of its grip. Then one of the little ghosts flew, and disappeared into her head, which also made her pass out. The ghosts then laughed, and then they gently set her down on the ground, with Buttercup flying over there, worried.
"Bubbles! Bubbles! Speak to me!" Buttercup yelled. "Please! Wake up!"
She kept on shaking Bubbles's body to see if she will wake up, but she wasn't moving. She had a fear of being attacked by spiritual beings, and she was right. They were attacked by them. Buttercup feared the worst, until she heard Bubbles moaning.
Then her eyes shot open, and she had the same creepy face as the ghosts did, with the maniac red and orange eyes with black pupils, and the large open mouth, with sharp teeth. It was even scarier on a face of a Powerpuff Girl. This face startled Buttercup, and she jumped back a little.
"Bubbles?" Buttercup said, freaked out.
"Ah! She's been possessed!" Blossom yelled.
"I'm going to offer your lives as a sacrifice to King Boom Boo." Bubbles's possessed voice said. Her consciousness clearly was gone, and was replaced with the spirit of the ghost.
"You freak! Give me back my sisters!" Buttercup yelled, dashing forward, trying to hit the possessed Bubbles, however, she was fighting another Powerpuff Girl, and it's difficult for both ends to fight one another, considering that they are sisters, unless one of them have no control of their body and/or consciousness, in which they have no incentive to hold back. Memory loss is also another thing to note, and coincidentally, that happened to Bubbles once as well, in which she thought she was Mojo Jojo, which caused huge trouble for Blossom and Buttercup, since Bubbles forgot that she was their sister, making her go all out on the girls.
Nether the less, possessed Bubbles dodged, and retaliated, punching Buttercup square on the face, sending her flying back.
"Wake up, Bubbles!" Amy yelled, as she ran forward, swinging her hammer, to no avail as the possessed being simply dodges all the attacks. Threateningly, Possessed Bubbles grabbed Amy's hammer, and with no effort, she managed to snatch the hammer out of Amy's hand, leaving her defenseless.
"That's enough!" Buttercup snuck up behind her possessed sister, and grabbed onto her, trying to smack some sense into her, but Possessed Bubbles simply grabbed onto Buttercup by her throat, threatening to strangle her.
"Bubbles, stop!" Amy yelled. The possessed sister then faced Amy, and then used Amy's hammer to brutally hammer Buttercup towards Amy, and they both flew back towards Chris, who was watching all the action unfold.
"We need to get out of here!" Blossom exclaimed, punching the ground multiple times.
Possessed Bubbles slowly walks up to the three, dragging Amy's hammer behind her, like a slasher villain would do at a time like this.
"Buttercup, get up!" Amy exclaimed.
"She's coming!" Chris exclaimed.
"I knew her watching those horror movies was a bad idea!" Blossom grumbled under her breath.
Buttercup shakes her head, and then stares at her possessed sister, slowly walking up towards them, bloodthirsty for more. This really isn't something you would see every day in a horror movie. A 2 foot 4 inch possessed little girl, with the incentive to sacrifice, carrying around a hammer.
"Bubbles, wait!" Buttercup yelled, in fear surprisingly. "I'm- I'm sorry!" The sister continues to creep up towards everyone. "Listen! I-I was wrong! Please! I'm sorry for scaring you with those stupid horror movies! It was wrong! Just please snap out of it and come back!" The possessed Bubbles didn't listen, and raised the hammer over her head, and the three shielded themselves for the worst to come, however, Bubbles stopped, and had a scared face on her. The three opened their eyes, and looked at the expression at the possessed sister's face. "Huh?" Buttercup then looked behind them, and saw the talisman sitting on the opening of the wall behind them. "Wait, that's right! These things are afraid of this thing!" She then got up, with a little pain from the injuries Possessed Bubbles caused, and flew over to the hourglass talisman. Chris was thinking about this as well. He then refers back to what they read on the pedestal.
(Appears under the moon…Disappears under the sun…) He repeated in his mind. The ghosts, including the giant ghost that was now known as King Boom Boo started rushing towards them, not going to let them tinker around with the talisman. "That's it!" He and Buttercup grabbed the talisman.
"Appears under the moon, disappears under the sun!" Buttercup repeated, as they placed the talisman back onto the opening in the wall, with the sun side facing up. "Now I don't know about you ghosts, but I like my stuff sunny side up!"
A bright light then formed again, and a pattern of a sun showed up on the ceiling. A yellow light blinded the scene, making everyone turn their heads back. Coming out of the yellow light, was Sonic and Blossom, as they sprinted forward towards their friends in danger. Possessed Bubbles was caught off guard by the light, and let her guard down. Blossom then ran forward to her, and punched her, making the ghost possessing Bubbles to be released, and snapping her back to her normal self. Buttercup caught Bubbles, as she fell in her arms.
"Bubbles! Speak to me!" She exclaimed, as Bubbles started waking up.
"Are you okay, Bubbles?" Blossom said, going over there. Bubbles's eyes fluttered open, and saw that her sisters were surrounding her.
"Oooh…Blossom? Buttercup?" She moaned.
"You're back!" Buttercup yelled, hugging Bubbles very tightly, as she was gasping for air. "Oh Bubbles, you have no idea how worried I was about you! I was so scared that I was going to lose you!"
"Can't…Breathe…" She choked out.
"Oh…Uh sorry." Buttercup said, releasing her grip, as Bubbles sat there, dazed for a bit.
"Ugh, it's okay."
"Oh Sonic!" Amy exclaimed, hugging Sonic tightly.
"Agh! Amy! This isn't the time for this!" Sonic exclaimed, trying to get out of Amy's grip.
The ghosts then flew forward, attacking them.
"I'll show you!" Sonic exclaimed, karate chopping one.
"Hey! We can hurt them now!" Blossom yelled.
"Alright!" Buttercup exclaimed, smacking her fist into one hand. "Time for some serious payback!" The Blossom and Buttercup then started attacking the ghosts, and one by one, they fell onto the ground knocked out.
"Bring it on you spook!" Blossom yelled at King Boom Boo.
Meanwhile, Bubbles and Amy was attacking the smaller Boom ghosts. In revenge for taking her friends and sister, as well as possessing her, Bubbles decided to give no mercy for these ghosts, as she was facing her fear, like Chris had told Bubbles to do, and she was facing this hard. She charged forward, and they punched and hammered two ghosts in the wall. Then five Boom ghosts flew up behind them, and they glared at them as they did.
"You want a piece of me, ghosts!?" Bubbles yelled threateningly. The five ghosts look at each other, and then grinned. They then started morphing together in order to form into one giant Boom ghost. Though Bubbles seemed unfazed by this. "You do NOT want to mess with me when I'm HARDCORE!"
Amy then smirked, and handed Bubbles her hammer to use, and she gladly took it. Bubbles then readied herself, and then flew full speeds towards the ghosts, bringing the hammer back.
"Good Night!" She yelled, brutally hammering the giant Boom ghost back, sending it flying back towards the wall, getting it stuck in it. It stayed there, dazed from the hit. The heroes all looked at themselves awkwardly, from this act of violence Bubbles did.
"Geez, I didn't know Bubbles could get that angry." Sonic said.
"Yeah. We learned that the hard way…" Blossom said, scratching her head, awkwardly smiling.
"Wow Bubbles, that was great!" Amy said, congratulating Bubbles, who then smiled at Amy, sweetly.
"Thank you." She said. "I tend to not show that side of me too much. Y'know, just in case I get carried away with it…"
"Mom, wake up." Chris said, nudging his mother. Everyone else had escaped from the weird dimension that they were in, and watches as Lindsley wakes up.
"Chris?" She said. She then sat up. "How was I in that take?" Everyone then sweatdropped when she said that.
"Uh, this isn't a movie mom…" Chris said, awkwardly.
"Guys! Get going!" Sonic exclaimed.
"Hang on, Sonic." Bubbles said. "We got this one, right?"
Blossom then nodded, and assured to Sonic that they will be okay.
"Here girls! A ring!" Tails exclaimed, throwing Bubbles a ring.
"Thanks Tails!" She thanked. "Hey Blossom, let's do that plan."
"Plan Taurus 21?" Blossom said. Bubbles nodded. "Got it!"
"You guys get going ahead." Chris said to Tails, as the others were starting to get out of there. "I need to get something first." Chris then runs back, towards the Talisman, and picked it up, as the power of the ring courses through Bubbles. Chris then rushed towards the stairs, and Bubbles curled up into a Spin Ball. Blossom then picked Bubbles up, as she was spinning, and Blossom started spinning. Blossom was giving Bubbles some momentum, and she finally then hurled Bubbles towards King Boom Boo, as she strikes square in the ghost's abdomen. The ghost yells in pain, and Bubbles finally sent the ghost flying back towards the wall, making the wall crack, and pile rubble onto it.
"And that's that!" Bubbles exclaimed, smirking. She and Blossom high fived each other, and they then sped their way towards the stairs, where Chris was trying to get Lindsey to run up faster.
"Hurry mom." Chris said. "We need to get out of here."
"Oh, if we're filming an action scene, wouldn't it be better if I have some running shoes on?" Lindsey said.
"Oh for Pete's sake…" Buttercup said, facepalming.
Blossom and Bubbles sped by, only to skid to a halt when they realized that everyone was still climbing up the stairs.
"What the…Why are you all still here?" Blossom said.
"So, did you take care of the big guy?" Sonic said.
"Yup." Bubbles said. "He won't be bothering us anymore."
Suddenly, back in the room, King Boom Boo emerged from the rubble, and was looking pretty angry. He then busts through the door, and gets to the spiral staircase.
"What!?" Blossom exclaimed.
King Boom Boo then started chomping on the stairs, as he was rushing to catch up to everybody.
"Okay! Maybe I Was Wrong!" Bubbles yelled, as she picked up Lindsey, and they were all sprinting out of there. King Boom Boo was catching up to everyone, but unfortunately, everybody got back up towards the surface where they were greeted by the sunlight. Chris was the last one out, and he dive-bombed onto the ground. Amy then swung her hammer, and closed the pedestal, just as King Boom Boo was about to reach everyone.
"Hurry Chris!" Blossom exclaimed. Chris then jumped forward, and he slammed the Talisman back onto its slot on the pedestal. In doing so, a bright light then shone from beneath the pedestal, and everyone covered their eyes. The light then subsided soon after.
"Which side did I put it on?" Chris asked. Bubbles checked the talisman, and it was the moon side.
"You put it on the moon side." She said.
"Uh…is that all right?" Chris said, reluctantly.
"Eh, don't worry about it." Sonic said, giving Chris a thumbs up.
"That was fun, but I didn't know this was a fantasy film." Lindsey said. "Those special effects were incredibly realistic."
The film crew and the policemen then rushed towards everyone relieved that they were okay.
"Lindsey, thank goodness that you're okay." The director said.
"Did something happen?" Lindsey said.
"Were you being chased by ghosts by any chance?" One of the policemen said.
"Yeah." Bubbles said.
"What about it?" Buttercup said.
"Do you know about those ghosts?" Blossom said.
"Yes." The policeman said. "My Grandpa told me about it. When he was a kid, he went with a friend into the forest to look for the supposed treasure rumored to be under this castle. They were wrong. When they were looking around the place, they heard the laughter of children, and they thought someone had gotten here at first. When they were looking around the place some more, they finally found that secret passageway that you all came out of. And in doing so, they took off the talisman, setting those ghosts running amok around the place. Grandpa and his friend looked down there, and then they saw the ghosts. They ran from it, and thankfully they got out of there alive, and left everything back to normal. However, Grandpa still couldn't shake the uneasy feeling he had with him for the rest of his life because of the ghosts down there."
Through the windows of the dark castle, some of the Boom ghosts looked out the window, and stares off towards the group down below. They then laughed, and disappeared, hinting that they will be back for some more.
