Chapter 8: The Truth Begins to Blow

Still in the Derby Tantes' hangout, May Lin and the others explain to Blossom and Buttercup what has happened to them, and what almost happened to Bubbles. Blossom and Buttercup are shocked to hear the story.

"Someone was after you?!" Buttercup asks in shock.

"Yeah. Someone has a raffle, and was trying to shoot at us," May Lin asks.

"And we think whoever it is was after Bubbles. Whoever it is was trying to shoot her," Jay Lin adds.

Then Kay Lin says, "But May Lin was able to come up with a way to lose em'"

"It's a good thing you girls were able to think quickly on your skates," Buttercup says.

"Just doing our job," May Lin says, holding her thumb up.

Blossom hugs Bubbles as she asks, "Are you going to be okay?"

"I think so, but I did hurt my ankle when I feel," Bubbles says.

"Don't worry, you just have a sprain so you'll be fine as long as you don't move it for a little while," Blossom says with a reassuring smile.

"Okay," Bubbles replies.

May Lin asks, "What I want to know is who was trying to get Bubbles? And why?"

"Blossom seems to have a good idea. She also suspect that Bubbles will be endangered because of it," Buttercup says.

In a serious tone, Blossom explains, "This is only a theory, but the person behind the murder, the jewelry robbery from eight years ago, and possibly after Bubbles is none other than… Simon Harris."

"Let's say that Mr. Harris was at Townsville committing the robbery murder jewelry heist. He not only killed the owner, but made off with billions worth of diamond and jewelry. He was able to avoid the police and was on his way to Townsville Mountain to get to Autumn Town," Blossom explains.

"Townsville Mountain? That… That is where I fell, right?" Bubbles questions.

"Yeah," Buttercup replies, nodding her head.

Bubbles has her hand on her head, "I… I think I remember… I remember I manage to get up, but without my powers I was forced to walk on the road on the mountain. It was harder to get through the rain."

Blossom nods her head, and continues to explain, "Yes, but think you saw something that you never intended to. Mr. Harris end up hitting Tomo King while she was in the road. Like any other person, he went to check the body, and move it out of the way. He was likely going to turn himself in after hiding the jewels. However, he ever suspect someone to see him. That person… Was you Bubbles."

"M-me?" Bubbles questions with a confused look.

"That's right. You said that since you weren't able to use your powers because of the antidote X, you had to walk down the side of the road to get back to Townsville, or at least until we found you. You must have reach the location where the hit and run incident happen," Buttercup says.

Then Blossom explains, "It probably didn't take hard for Mr. Harris to knock you out and put you in his car. He was probably driving around for a while trying to figure out what to do with you. What's more, he has the stolen jewels in the car. If anyone else was there during the time or even the police, the evidence will be seen. However, something, use have happen, and you saw something else.

Blossom turns to Bubbles and asks. "Remember when you started to feel like you have seen the shimming sparkles from the orb Buttercup and I made?"

"Yes," Bubbles replies.

"I thought it was strange that you saw something shiny and sparkling the day you fell. However, seeing the article, I think I know what you saw now…" Blossom says.

May Lin gasps, and exclaims, "The jewels from the robbery!"

"That's right. Bubbles must have seen it after waking up to find herself in Mr. Harris' car. Soon as the car stop, Bubbles decides to run for her life. Mr. Harris was probably chasing her hoping to shut her up. Sadly, that is how Bubbles fell of the cliff in the mountain," Blossom adds.

"So what happened to Bubbles was an accident," Jay Lin replies.

"Yeah. But only because she was being chased by Mr. Harris," May Lin adds.

Then Kay Lin asks, "But what does Mr. Harris has to do with the murder in the video arcade?"

"Well, I wouldn't be surprised that Mr. Chang and Mr. Harris were working together with the robbery, but Mr. Harris the one who committed the crime. It didn't seem like Mr. Chang was blackmailing Mr. Harris," Blossom says.

Then Buttercup says, "Then that must mean that Mr. Harris is planning to double cross him."

"What do you mean?" Bubbles asks.

"Blossom had me go to Mr. Harris's house to find some clues. And I found a bottle containing cyanide poison and a pack of sleeping pills. That must be house Mr. Harris go to Mr. Chang," Buttercup says.

She then brings out blueprints, and a small box from her backpack.

Buttercup continues, "I also found this small box that is actually a small bomb, and it's the same one I saw during the train incident. I also found blueprints. One of them showed Autumn town, while the other showed Crown Rose City."

"So it was Mr. Harris that targeted the train route to the city," May Lin says.

"But why?" Jay Lin asks.

Blossom gasps, "I know why. Mr. Harris probably his the jewels at his old home in Autumn Town. According to the blueprints, both town are between the dam. Crown Rose City is down below from where Autumn is flooded by water when they build the dam."

"The bombs?" Buttercup exclaims.

"He's going to blow up the dam to drain the water that flooded Autumn Town," May Lin says.

"But if he destroyed the dam…" Jay Lin says with worried looks.

Then Kay Lin exclaims, "Everyone in Crown Rose City will drown and the city will be destroyed!"

"We gotta stop him!" Bubbles says in shock.

"You're right. We have to stop Mr. Harris, before it's too late," Blossom says.

Just then, Bubbles remembers, something, "Girls, I… I think there was… Something else I saw…"

"What is it?" Blossom asks.

"I'm not sure… But other than the girl that was hit and Mr. Harris… I… I feel like there was someone else on the mountain during that day," Bubbles says, not fully confident with her testimony.

"Someone else was there?" Buttercup questions.

"I believe so, but I'm afraid I don't fully remember," Bubbles replies.

"It's okay. I'm sure your memory will come back when it comes. But right now, we need to find Mr. Harris and stop him before he floods the town," Blossom says.

"Right," Buttercup says.

Bubbles gets up, and says, "I want to come too."

This shocks everyone the room, including Bubbles' sisters.

"Bubbles, are you crazy?! There's a killer who is trying to get rid of you! Not to mention, you're still trying to get used to using your powers again!" Buttercup scolds in shock.

"I know, but I call stand here and watch you two having to fight. If there is someone that wants to get rid of me, I can't just run away from it. I'm going with you because I want to help out again, and not stay at home doing nothing. I want us to be a team again. I want to be a PowerPuff Girl with you again," Bubbles says, looking serious.

Blossom and Buttercup look at their sister with shocked expression. Despite on everything she has gone through, Bubbles is willing to go out and fight. Then again, it has been a long time since all three sisters have become a team. The two sisters look at each other, then each of the, begin to show a smile on their head and nod their heads in reply.

Blossom turns her head towards Bubbles, and says, "Alright, then let's go it girls. And that includes you Bubbles."

"Yay!" Bubbles happily cheers,

Buttercup puts her hand on Bubbles shoulder, "Glad to have you back on the team."

"Then let's roll!" Blossom declares.

Blossom and Buttercup hold onto Bubbles as all three begin to take flight. Bubbles is doing her best to fly, but is still getting support from her sisters. The three smile at what other as they are glad to be part of a team again after so long.

Bubbles asks, "So what's the plan?"

"We need to let Mr. Tanizaki and the town's people about the danger they are in. Then we need to find Simon Harris and stop him before he breaks the dam with the bombs. We also to see if the jewels are really in his old home under the water."

Bubbles volunteers, "I can go check underwater or warn the people about the dam going to be blown to pieces.

"Well, I don't feel comfortable about you going under water, but you can warn Mayr Tanizaki and the townspeople of the danger," Blossom informs.

"I can do that," Bubbles happily replies.

"I'll take care of Mr. Harris! He has some nerve a tracking our sister like that!" Buttercup says with a serious look.

"We're not even sure. The others and I didn't get a look at the person's face," Bubbles clarifies.

"Either way, he is going to get what's coming to him," Buttercup says, having her hands together like she's ready to punch someone.

"Then I'll see if I can find the jewels under the water. What's more, finding the jewels or not, I can use my ice breath to stop the water. Plus, we can use it in case Mr. Harris explodes the dam, and I can freeze the water," Blossom explains.

"Great idea," Bubbles happily replies.

Bubbles starts to get a little wobbly as she reacts, "Woah!"

She manages to keep her balance, and says, "I'm okay."

Alright girls. After we take care of business, we'll meet at the dam," Blossom says.

"Right," Bubbles and Buttercup agree.

"PowerPuff Girls! Move out!" Blossom announces.

The three sisters go opposite directions to do their job, but are heading to the same city. They hope they are able to save the day before the dam has been shattered and the water destroys the city with the citizens in there.
