"You know what I like to do in a situation like this?" Dodgers asked, then shut his eyes. "I close my eyes and pretend I'm in Acapulco," he demonstrated calmly, then looked angry. "Hey, someone stole my wallet!"
Blossom and Buttercup rallied up the forces against evil like Hoss Delgado, Monkey the superhero, Robotboy, and now Raimundo and his yellow friend, Omi, were now to the rescue.
"These aliens are from the future!" Buttercup exclaimed. "I think we have no chance!"
"If only we could divert their attention somehow..." Blossom went deep into thought.
"Hello, Martians!" a voice called. "You want that very dangerous bomb thingy, but bad luck, boys, because..."
"What the...?" Raimundo looked around.
Buttercup looked too. "Who...?"
Blossom turned her head. "Oh, no."
"Surprise!" Dodgers hopped onto a rock with a communicator. "Now, if you could stop whizzing above, that would be great, because... I AM SPEAKING!"
The alien ships were now coming down for him.
"Thank you, so, the jackpot question today is where is the bomb?" Dodgers distracted them. "Luckily, I know... Now, who's gonna force me to tell it?"
No one came for him.
"Come on, don't disappoint me," Dodgers got impatient. "Look at me! No Cadet, no ship, nothing but me! Are you going to sit up there all day or do you have plans on taking that?"
Still no one came.
"Well in that case, remember who's standing in your way!" Dodgers bribed. "I warn you, I know karate, aikido, judo, and three other Japanese words! Remember how many times I've stopped you! Who's going to try it first!?" he then challenged.
The ships paused for a moment and then zapped him instantly all at once.
"I hope that was enough time..." Dodgers muttered.
"Boys!" Blossom called to Dexter, Double D, and Ben.
"And... We're ready!" Ben called once he got the machine geared up and ready to go.
"Vilgax, the bomb is here, take it!" Blossom called to the alien overlord. "And leave this planet as you promised!"
Dexter and Double D carried the device and it was suddenly transported away from them.
"Finally..." Vilgax was satisfied at last. "The ultimate weapon of the universe is mine. Commander, increase fire power!... Destroy this miserable planet."
"My turn..." Dodgers had been hiding behind the weapon the whole time.
"I want to see it burn." Vilgax continued.
"Sneaking is my specialty," Dodgers looked into the camera. "Thanks to high school bullies."
"But, My Lord, we can't simply burn the Earth," Marvin told him. "That'd change the cause of history!"
"I'll tell you what I want to hear, your opinion is dismissed," Vilgax scolded. "Where was I...? Oh, yes... I own it."
Dodgers came up next to the martian in surprise. "Listen, Bucket Head, I know we've had our differences in the future, but now I want to help. Where is the Queen?"
Marvin hesitated at first, but decided to actually help the duck. "Behind that door and that's not my mouth you're touching." He put his hand on the door and opened it to reveal the Martian Queen.
"Great..." the Queen looked to them.
Dodgers held the Queen over his shoulders and touched Marvin's helmet. "Cadet, evaporate!" he then commanded.
"And now... Let's try this sweetie on Earth..." Vilgax was thrilled to be using the weapon, but it wasn't working out the way he had hoped or expected. "What!? No, this is... How do I stop this!? This is not going well..."
Suddenly, Marvin, Dodgers, and the Martian Queen were teleported away in a flash.
"You... You've betrayed me!" Vilgax was angry again. "That wasn't the deal!"
The city was in ruins, but then Vilgax's ship was instantly destroyed. Everyone looked to see and they were in relief.
"You know, even the Fourth of July fireworks are bigger," a voice said, which made everyone turn in happiness and hope. "Miss me?" Dodgers asked as he stood with the two future martians.
"Attention all ships, this is the queen, retreat!" the Martian Queen commanded.
"Congratulations, Powerpuff Girls," Dr. IQ High praised as he beamed up. "You've saved the Earth, Mars, and the future all at once. I liked the trick with that bomb, Blossom."
"Hey Doc, can I stay a little?" Dodgers broke in. "I have some sure bets if you know what I mean."
"No Dodgers, you're coming back to your own time immeditately," Dr. IQ High scolded him. "We are not risking the past any further."
"Well then, it was a pleasure," Dodgers smiled as he stood with the others from his time period. "For you, I mean. How could it have been even better? Oh, I know... If Morgan Freeman narrated everything."
"Take care on the road back home, Captain Duck Dodgers." Blossom saluted him.
"Roads?" Dodgers quoted as the others got aboard on the ship. "Where we're going, we don't need roads."
Once he got aboard, the ship came into the air and it was going right back to where it belonged in the 24th and a half century.
"What did you do with the bomb?" Buttercup asked with folded arms, but not angry.
"Simple, I just reversed the polarity of the neutron flow," Gray Matter answered, smiling. "So when he set the influence radius and the protection zone, I mixed them up."
There was suddenly beeping heard and Gray Matter turned back into good old Ben Tennyson.
"What was I saying?"
"So when he wanted to destroy the Earth, he destroyed himself and the bomb instead," Blossom smiled. "I had a feeling we couldn't trust Vilgax."
"Very clever by the way." Dexter was impressed.
"Sorry to interrupt," Double D came with Bloo and Courage in worry. "But can an-answer us about Bubbles's whereabouts?"
"Umm... Well..." Blossom wasn't sure how to break it to them.
However, a surprise and miracle happened.
"Did I miss anything?" Bubbles smiled and waved, looking 100% better as she arrived with Azmuth.
"Bubbles!" Blossom and Buttercup cheered and rushed to hug their sister.
Bubbles smiled, then hugged Bloo and Courage. "My friends!"
"I missed you!" Bloo smiled with Courage. "Who else would give me the last slice of pizza?"
"Bubbles, my dear!" Double D rushed to her.
"Double D!" Bubbles smiled back to him.
"HUG TIME!" Ed gathered them all into a group hug.
"Thank you, Azmuth." Blossom appreciated his help.
"Your dedication skills are quite amazing," Azmuth replied. "I wonder why you haven't found the Omnitrix."
"Thanks anyway... Everything's all right now."
"You're far from it?"
Blossom's smile disappeared. "What?"
"The timelines are converting to Earth," Azmuth explained. "I thought it was Vilgax causing the distortion, but our measuring still shows distortion of the continuum. Whatever is about to happen here will be soon, it is massive."
"How can we be prepared for something like that?"
"You can't..." Azmuth walked away.
Dexter came to the pink Powerpuff Girl. "Blossom, sweetheart, is everything okay?"
"Yes..." Blossom smiled to him. "Yes..."
"Blossom, I report that we have captured Jack Spicer and Malware on the coordinates you sent us." Atomic Betty came, saluting the Powerpuff Girl.
"I was forced!" Jack cried as he was being taken away. "I'm innocent!"
"Great," Blossom saluted Betty back. "Thank you."
"Riding an Ed~" Ed sang as he carried Bubbles on his back. "Riding an Ed~"
"Nice job, Blossom," the Professor smiled down to her. "I knew you would succeed. I'm so proud of you."
Blossom smiled and she joined hands with Bubbles and Buttercup.
Two Weeks Later...
At the Powerpuff Girl home, the hotline rang.
"Yes?" Blossom answered it. "Yes, of course... We can go there like right now. Bye!" she then hung up.
"Who was that, honey?" the Professor asked as he read his paper at the table.
"The President." Blossom declared.
"Which one?" Bloo asked.
"He wants to see us now." Blossom then said.
The Girls then went to the President's place right away.
"Hello, Girls, how nice of you to come so quickly," the voice behind the chair greeted, then turned, revealing to be an awfully familiar reality show host: Chis McLean. "Welcome to your doom!"
Blossom and Bubbles gasped while Buttercup looked ready to kick some butt.
Chris laughed. "Just kidding! Sorry, bad habit... Although, I have some news for you. You know, a public has risen to control superheroes somehow and you know, I must obey my people."
"Since when?" Buttercup scoffed.
"Shut up, you don't vote," Chris glared at her. "From now on, all superheroes must have a higher authority. The Justice League and the plumbers are responsible for the UN. The Omnitrix is now property of the United States Government. And you, well, you are under my direct command."
"What does that mean exactly?" Blossom asked.
"That means you are allowed to do only what I allow you after I discuss it with a lot of people in the cabinet and the senate," Chris explained. "But, honestly, I don't care for their opinion."
"But that's nonsense, we don't have time for bureaucracy in the middle of a combat!"
"Well, it's either this or you can go to jail, there are some violations we have turned a blind eye or so," Chris shrugged. "Isn't it awesome to possess such great power? Photo!" he then called.
Once Chris huddled together with the Powerpuff Girls, someone from the press took their picture.
"Now, if you'll excuse me, I gotta do some presidential stuff, those preventative payments won't increase on their own," Chris told the Girls and walked off with the camera man. "This could be a good headline: 'President McLean Regulates Heroes'. I think it's catchy and don't forget it's effect on my popularity index. Have you taken a better profile?"
The Girls then left to get back home.
"How are we going to fight crime now?" Bubbles asked.
"We have no choice," Blossom replied maturely. "We must accept his terms for the good of all."
"I don't like it," Buttercup snorted. "Not one bit."
Meanwhile, somewhere...
There was a hidden object in a hidden place, but that for another story for another time.
