A/N: Last time, Daryl and the rest of the gang discovered the truth about Maria's disappearance, but were captured by Coach Sweeten, a.k.a. Candy Sweet upon confronting her. What will they do to escape? And what about the PowerPuffs and Tony and their problems? Find out on the long-awaited grand finale, right now!
WOOHP-Sitting: Part 3
Back in the streets of ToonTown, Tony continued walking around looking for Poof.
"Poof!," he called out. "Poof, where are you? Man, where could he have gone?"
Just then, as he passed a construction site, he heard Poof's laughter coming from above. Tony looked up and there was Poof walking and giggling on top of the high rise.
"POOF!," Tony shouted as he noticed Poof was bouncing towards the end of the high rise. He then noticed a crane with a metal girder on the hook. Quickly, he ran over, took control and swung the girder over to Poof who bounced on it and swung it to the other side, so that Poof crossed over safely.
"Okay, now to get Poof back home before Cosmo and Wanda find out," Tony said as he rode the elevator to the top and chased after Poof, finally catching him. "Gotcha! Phew, you nearly fell off there."
Suddenly he stopped as he realized that he had walked right of the edge of the high-rise. "Correction, you did fall, only you can float but I can't."
Tony then fell screaming into a tub of wet cement. He quickly climbed out and ran for a hose.
"Oh-no, gotta wash off before…it…dries…," he said as the cement quickly dried, stopping him just seconds away from the hose. Poof then floated down and waved his rattle, freeing Tony, and giggling.
"You think this is funny, huh?," he snapped. "You're lucky this isn't more dangerous!"
Poof then waved his rattle again as Tony said. "What are you doing?"
Next thing he knew, Tony and Poof were back at the top of the high-rise! Tony took out some binoculars and looked at the city.
"Cruella De Vil's 50 story fur storage?! Could this get any worse?"
Poof waved his rattle again and poofed up a tiger.
"I gotta stop giving that kid ideas," Tony said to the readers as the tiger roared at them and both fell of the high rise back into the cement, which froze them again as they tried to leap out. A construction wrecking ball then hit Tony and Poof, and sent them flying.
"Okay Poof, that was a second close call. At least you're safe and we aren't in another hostage situation…and why'd I just say that?"
Poof then waved his wand again, poofing him and Tony away to another location.
Back in ToonSchool, at the lunchroom, the PowerPuffs were sitting with the rest of the gang, still embarrassed about all that had happened in class with their dad.
"I can't believe the Professor embarrassed us three times today!," Blossom said upset.
"I know, I've never been more humiliated in my whole life!," Buttercup added.
"I can still hear everyone laughing," Bubbles said. At that several other students came up to the gang pointing and laughing at the girls.
"That's because everyone is still laughing," Bloo pointed out. The girls groaned in dispair June, of course slapped Bloo over the head for his insensitivity. Just then Rudy Tabootie and Penny Sanchez (ChalkZone) came over to them.
"Hey, guys," Rudy said. "We just came from our period Science/Chemistry with Prof. Utonium."
"Yeah, and he's been telling everyone some pretty interesting things about you guys in class all day," Penny put in. "Stuff we've never known before."
"Like what?," Blossom groaned.
"Like how you once stole those expensive golf clubs as a Father's Day present for him," Rudy said. "Had to do community service and everything."
"Hey come on, it only happened once! And I saw how much the Professor wanted those clubs and how sad he was when he saw the price. I just wanted to make him happy."
"We know, we know, Blossom," Buttercup said annoyed.
"He also told us about you knocking out your town's villains' teeth and stealing them to get extra money from the Tooth Fairy, and how Blossom and Bubbles helped them get back at you for that, Buttercup" Penny said.
"Ugh, did he HAVE to bring that up? That was horrible. I had to use every cent I collected to get my teeth fixed!"
"Well you shouldn't have been so greedy," Bubbles said.
"Oh, shut up!"
"And he told us about the time you hit your head, lost your memory, thought you were Mojo Jojo and tried to destroy Townsville too," Rudy said to Bubbles.
"Hey, that's not fair! I can barely remember any of that!," she protested. "If this keeps up, the whole school will be laughing at us."
"Well, why not just tell him how you feel about him calling you those cute names and telling about your most embarrassing moments," Mac said.
"We want to," Buttercup said.
"We just don't know how too," Blossom put in.
"Yeah, if we tell him the wrong way, he might think we're being, uh…," Blossom said. "What's the word that describes Bloo most of the time?"
"Insensitive?," Tommy said.
"Yeah that's it."
"Hey!," Bloo said offended.
"Well you have to tell him how you feel sometime," Ash said.
"Yeah, otherwise, he'll turn you into the laughing stock of the whole school," Bart added in. Just then one of the school's bullies, Francis walked up to everyone.
"Hey, it's the PowerPuff Girls. Or should I call you the Cuddle-Muffins?," he mocked.
"Oh, great," Timmy said exasperated. "Just what we need!"
"Not now, Francis," Blossom said. "We're not in the mood now."
"But I am," Francis said. "Especially with Little Miss Bubbly-Wubblykins here."
"Stop it!," Bubbles said.
"Or what? You gonna cry, wittle baby?"
"Leave her alone, Francis!," June said.
"You can't stop me, and you can't stop her either, cause she's the big baby of her family with her dad always having to leave the hall light open at night so she could sleep. She's a daddy's baby…and a teacher's pet!"
"I am NOT a teacher's pet!," Bubbles protested before breaking down and crying. Francis laughed at her misery…until a sudden punch knocked him across the room. He recovered to see Buttercup looking very angry.
"Okay, wise guy. Now you're gonna get it!," she said angrily. Francis ran screaming out of the cafeteria, with Buttercup flying after him as the gang watched on in shock.
Meanwhile, at an old, abandoned school back in Miami, Daryl and the students and teachers that were with him were all chained up at the bottom of an empty swimming pool with Candy and the brainwashed cheerleaders watching them.
"So, you're Yo-Yo Boy's brother, and his friends and teachers," Candy said. "Wonder why he sent you all out to stop me?"
"He had prior commitments," Daryl said.
"Well what are you doing brainwashing children to commit crimes, Ms. Sweet?," Prickley said. "And after you just got out of prison too."
"Yeah, you'd think prison would change someone for the better," Janitor said.
"Well, after I was finally released, I found that I was penniless," Candy said. "I tried the honest life for a time coaching these girls, and when that still wasn't enough, I decided to recycle an old scheme to make some real money. I decided to bring the cheerleaders to my house under the pretense of a post-practice celebration. While there I had them watch the same DVD I used to get a squad to try and break me out of jail before. Only this time, it was programmed to get them to help me commit armored car robberies. And after 4 successful small heists, we're gonna hit an big score."
"How big?," Danny asked.
"About $100 million being convoyed in multiple armored cars to Florida's Federal Reserve, in an hour."
"Dang, that's a lot of duckets," Jake said impressed.
"We're gonna raid the convoy before it reaches the reserve and steal the whole shipment right out from everyone's noses. Unfortunately you won't be there to see it, considering you'll be six feet under…underwater, that is!"
With that, two of the brainwashed girls pressed two buttons on the wall, and the pool started filling with water. Upon seeing this, Stitch started to panic badly.
"What's with him?," Spongebob asked.
"Stitch can't swim. He hates the water, remember," Lilo reminded him.
"Oh well, that just makes it all easier. I'd love to stay and watch, but we mustn't be late for the big one," Candy said. "Have a nice swim everyone! Girls, let's move out!"
With that, Candy left with the cheerleaders, leaving the kids and teachers to drown.
Back in ToonTown, Poof had poofed himself and Tony to a jewelry store, that was in the midst of a hold up by several robbers.
"Okay, everyone on the ground!," the leader screamed as the scared people complied.
"Poof!," Tony snapped irritated. "I'll deal with you later."
"Alright, everyone stay down and no one gets hurt!"
"Except you," Tony said as he stood up.
"Yo-Yo Boy?!," the robbers all shouted.
"Yeah, so why don't you get on the ground and put your hand on your heads?"
"You in what army?," a robber said.
Just then Poof floated up to the lead robber's face.
"Get lost, you little runt," he said as he callously shoved Poof away.
"Big mistake, pal," Tony said as Poof cried and waved his rattle. At that moment, the same tiger from before poofed up in front of the robbers, and roared at them, causing them to look intensely scared.
"Mommy," the lead robber said as the tiger began to maul them viciously. The hostages ran out of the store, as did Tony with Poof, whom he'd managed to calm down.
"Okay, Poof, let's get home before you're parents get back," he said as Poof waved his rattle and poofed them both out of the area.
Back at the pool, the water was continuing to rise with the kids and teachers struggling to get out of the chains. Stitch was struggling the most, given his fear of water.
"It's no use," Lilo said. "These chains must be solid steel or something."
"Well, we've got to get out of here somehow, before we all drown," Mickey said.
"But how? We can't break these chains," Jake said. Suddenly Daryl's eyes lit up as he got an idea.
"Or maybe we can," he said. "Danny, your ghost powers!"
"Huh?," Danny said confused, before he realized what he meant. "Oh yeah, I forgot."
"Quick, get Stitch out of the pool and then try to shut off the water," Daryl said as he took out the Laser BallPoint Pen from his shoe. "Jake, you and me try to break these chains."
"Got it," both boys said as Jake and Daryl tried to break the chains with their fire breath and Laser BallPoint Pen, while Danny went intangible and flew Stitch out of the pool and the two started to work on shutting the water off. Danny froze the pipes and Stitch turned a wheel to cut of the water flow just as the water had reached the others chests, and Daryl and Jake had managed to free themselves and the others from the chains. Everyone then climbed out of the pool.
"Wow, that was close," Lilo said.
"Yeah, but we're all okay, and that's what counts," Spongebob agreed.
"Now we best track down that crazy coach and stop her before she flees with that government money!," Prickley said.
"Lucky for us, she told us where she was going," Daryl said. "I can pinpoint the location on the GPS and we can go there in a rush!"
"Then let's get to it!," Danny said.
Back in ToonSchool, a crowd of students (including the rest of the gang) surrounded Buttercup, who had caught and was beating up Francis for making Bubbles cry.
"And this'll…teach…you…to make…my…sister…cry!," she said, pausing as she punched him with every word.
"Please stop!," Francis begged between punches. "I didn't mean it! I take it all back! I'm sorry!"
"BUTTERCUP!," a familiar voice rang out. Everyone turned to see Professor Utonium looking very angry. Buttercup stopped punching Francis and let him go. "What have I told you about using your powers to fight in school?!"
"Professor! I-I can explain!," she said.
"I think this explains enough, young lady."
"Come on, Professor, not here. Everyone's watching!"
"In the Science Lab, NOW!," he said as he grabbed Buttercup's arm and dragged her to the lab, with Blossom and Bubbles following as everyone watched. Once in the Lab, Utonium to continued to scold Buttercup. "If I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times–no fighting in school!"
"But Professor–"
"No buts, Buttercup."
"But Professor, she only beat Francis up because he was teasing me about being a teacher's pet," Bubbles said.
"Just like every kid in the school is doing now," Blossom said.
"What? What do you mean?," Utonium asked.
"Well," Bubbles said. "Ever since you started subbing for Dr. Jookiba, you've kind been treating us like babies, like calling us those embarrassing names, and telling those embarrassing stories about us."
"Like the time I went to jail for stealing those expensive golf clubs for you as a Father's Day gift," Blossom said.
"And when I had to get my teeth fixed after I got beaten up by the Townsville villains after for beats them up for their teeth," Buttercup added.
"And when I got knocked out and woke up thinking I was Mojo Jojo and went on a destructive spree," Bubbles finished.
"It's just like when you started embarrassing us when you became PowerProf.," Blossom said.
"Really?," Utonium asked. The girls nodded "yes" solemnly. "Oh, my…well why didn't you just tell me it was making you feel so uncomfortable?"
"Because you've done so much for us, and…," Blossom started.
"We didn't want to seem unsupportive…," Buttercup added.
"So we chose to keep our mouths shut...for you," Bubbles finished.
"Oh girls, I'm so, terribly sorry," Utonium said as he realized what he'd done. He then hugged the girls tenderly. "I never meant to embarrass you. But next time I do something that bothers you like that, tell me, and I'll take care of it, okay."
The girls nodded. Just then, the other students (including the rest of the gang), who'd overheard every word said, walked in looking remorseful.
"And we'd like to apologize too," Dash Parr said.
"Yeah, I guess you guys aren't teacher's pets after all," Eddy said.
"Yeah, we shouldn't have teased you three like that," Numbah 362 said.
"Can you forgive us?," Trixie Tang asked.
The girls looked at each other for a second, then smiled and said in unison, "We forgive you!"
The students all then thanked the PowerPuffs as the rest of the gang looked on happily.
"Well l think this story's ended on a happy note," June said.
"Yeah," Ash said as he thought about something. "I wonder how Tony's doing with his babysitting?"
Back at Krusty Towers, Tony and Poof arrived back in Apartment 7K to find it still a big mess and the dragon still around.
"Oh, man. We gotta clean this place up, before your parents return," Tony said. "Do your thing, Poof!"
Poof then waved his rattle and with a poof all the damage to the room was repaired and all the mess was cleaned up.
"Phew, that was close. And where is Vicky?"
Just then, Tony heard a noise from the hall closet. He walked over to and opened it up and Vicky came falling out.
"So there you are."
"Yeah well-," she started to say before seeing the now-clean apartment-and the dragon. "How'd you clean this place up so fast…and why is that dragon still here?!"
Tony turned and realized that the dragon was still there and the window was still open with Poof's blanket hanging from it.
"Oh-no! Poof, we need to get rid of those before…," he started to say before he heard Wanda's voice say, "Tony, we're back!"
"They're here!," Tony said, knowing they would be in big trouble. Cosmo and Wanda opened the front door and came in in human form.
"Hey Tony, so how was-," Wanda said before they both noticed...
"Why is there a dragon in the apartment," Wanda asked.
"And why is Poof's blanket hanging out the window?," Cosmo asked. "And why is honey so sticky?"
"What does that have to do with this?," Tony asked.
"I dunno, I just always wondered."
Just then a news report on the living room TV came on.
"This is Chet Ubetcha here with breaking news: authorities are looking to thank local hero Yo-Yo Boy and his round-ball like sidekick for foiling two robberies at the ToonTown Palace Shopping Center and Hallwell's Jewelry Store, with the help of Vikings and a Burmese tiger. The two were also seen apparently playing tag on top of a ten-story construction site as well."
At that, Cosmo and Wanda glared at Tony and Poof.
"Now before you say anything, I want to tell you both that…this whole thing was Vicky's fault!," he said before pointing to Vicky who was still cowering from the dragon.
"What?! You big liar, I didn't do anything!," she protested.
"Yeah, you did!," Tony snapped before turning back to Cosmo and Wanda. "She broke in here to get revenge on me for a prank, she upset Poof, he, uh, brought the dragon in here and then ran off out the window. I was chasing him down to get him back."
"That's a total lie!"
"I have proof!," Tony said as he clicked the TV remote to show footage from his surveillance camera of Vicky breaking in and waking Poof, her very meanly shooing him away, him crying and waving his rattle, stopping just at that point. Cosmo and Wanda, now knowing the truth, turned on Vicky.
"And what do you have to say for yourself?," Wanda said.
"Uh…bye!," Vicky said as she ran for the door but was stopped by Mr. Krabs who had heard the noise the dragon had caused.
"Ho-ho-hold it! What be going on up here?!," he said. "And what's with the dragon?!"
"Vicky," Tony said. "She broke in here and brought that dragon in order to get revenge on me for a prank I played on her. Caused a lot of damages too, most of which I managed to fix."
"Is that a fact?"
"Well, yeah, but…"
"No buts, lassie," Krabs said. "I should call the police on you. However, I'm willing to let you make up the damages with some community service here at the Towers."
"Community service?!," Vicky snapped. "As if! Like I'd work for the likes of you!"
"Hey, guys, I wish Vicky couldn't say no to doing community service…ever," Tony whispered to Cosmo and Wanda, who raised and waved their wands. With a poof, Vicky then said.
"I mean, sure, okay, I'll do it!," she said while in a trance.
"Good," Krabs said as he grabbed her arm and lead her outside. "You can start by unclogging the toilet in 11G..."
As soon as they left the two fairies turned to Tony.
"Tony, thank you so much for looking after Poof," Wanda said. "And for keeping him safe through all that. You did a great job!"
"Yeah, we ought to go out and leave him with you more often," Cosmo added.
"It was no problem," Tony said. "I have to admit the little tyke's really grown on me since I first started living here."
Just then Poof hugged Tony as he said, "Tony."
"Aww, shucks," Tony said as he hugged him back. Just then, Timmy popped in the apartment.
"Hey guys, so how was your–," he began to say before noticing Tony and Poof hugging. "WHAT IS GOING HERE?!"
"This isn't what it looks like!," Tony said.
"Oh, I think I know what it looks like: you hugging my brother the way I always hug him!," Timmy said angrily.
"Now hang on Timmy," Tony said trying to calm Timmy down.
Meanwhile, back in Miami, Candy had already put her plan into action, with her brainwashed cheerleaders having halted the armored truck convoy, tied up the guards and drivers and where carrying the money out for her.
"Excellent, girls," she said. "Keep it up. Soon I'll be the wealthiest cheerleader in the world, with millions of the easiest money anyone had ever made!"
"Yeah, and the only problem you're gonna have is spending it," a familiar voice said. Candy and the girls turned to see, to the former's surprise, Daryl with his friends and the teachers.
"YOU?! I don't know how you escaped the pool, but you won't stop me from taking my biggest score!"
"That's what you think," Daryl said. "Prepare to go back to prison, Candy!"
"We'll see about that," Candy cackled. "Girls, attack beta formation!"
"Ready! Okay!," the cheerleaders cheered as they ran and back-flipped towards the group. Daryl drew his scythe, Danny and Jake changed into their halfa and dragon forms, and Lilo, Stitch, and the teachers took out the gadgets Daryl had given them, and all prepared to fight.
"Remember, don't hurt them, we just need to hold them off long enough to figure out how to break them free of the brainwashing," Daryl told them. "Now let's go!"
The group then charged at the cheerleaders, who attacked first by using acrobatic punches, kicks and leaps. The others defended themselves as best they could without hurting the girls, Danny just turned intangible to dodge and used his ice powers to immobilize them. Jake and Stitch used their martial arts moves to block and parry the blows of two. Oak and Lilo threw Poke Smoke Balls to obscure their sights. Mickey and Spongebob used Stun Bomb Marbles to stun several more. And Janitor and Prickley used the Laser Ballpoint Pens to knock down several things in the environment to hold the girls back.
Meanwhile, Daryl was busy battling Candy and Maria (who were wielding sticks), while also trying to get through to the latter.
"Maria, listen," he said as he blocked their blows with his scythe. "You have to fight this brainwashing."
"No use, kid," Candy said as she and Maria continued to strike. "She only obeys me, her coach now."
"Then it's time to take this to the next level," Daryl said as he held out his hand and formed a shadow into a larger hand. He then grabbed Candy and threw her to the top of a tall streetlight post, where she hung on for dear life.
"That's takes care of her for now," Daryl said as he continued to block Maria's attacks. "But how to break this brainwashing?"
Suddenly he got an idea. "I got it! But I'm gonna need some cover for it."
"I'm out of Smoke Balls, someone toss me something else," Oak shouted. Stitch then pulled out a familiar black bottle, which Daryl noticed.
"Maka maki!," he said.
"Stitch, what did I tell you about messing with my stuff that's my last…Shadow Mist!," he said as he realized what it meant. He then grabbed the bottle and tossed it to the ground, breaking it and covering the whole area in dark mist, blinding everyone. Moving fast, he speed through the mist (which he could see through) and hit each of the cheerleaders, including Maria over the head with it, knocking them out. As the mist cleared, the gang regrouped.
"So is it over? Did we win?," Jake asked.
"I think so," Spongebob said. At that, the cheerleaders, now free of the brainwashing, started to recover, including Maria, whom Daryl was checking on.
"Maria, are you okay?," he asked.
"I think so," she groaned. "Who are you, and how do you know my name?"
"Long story."
"NO!," Candy screamed, still dangling from the streetlight post. "It was such a brilliant plan too! Could this be any worse?"
At that moment, Stitch climbed up to her and barked in her face, scaring her and causing her to fall to the ground and land in a muddy puddle. "I had to ask."
"Now we've won," Daryl said as everyone laughed.
Much later, back at WOOHP HQ, the group had cleaned up most of the mess from earlier and were telling Tony and the PowerPuffs about their mission.
"And that's what happened," Janitor said. "And we called some field agents."
"Yeah, so most of the stolen money has been returned…," Danny said.
"Maria and the other girls are back home with their families…," Prickley added.
"And Maria's just gotten back in touch with her EnSoul," Daryl said. "And I finally ordered a new Dark Realm Kit."
"And Candy's back in the WOOHP slammer where she belongs," Jake finished.
"Wow, sounds like a pretty busy day," Tony said.
"Yeah, how'd the babysitting go for you, bro?," Daryl asked.
"Well besides a few snafus, including one from Vicky, it's was okay."
"And heard you girls were having some issues with your dad subbing for Jumba," Mickey said.
"Yeah, we did but they're all resolved now," Blossom put in.
"Yeah, compared to your days, ours was a piece of cake," Buttercup said.
"Strawberry cheesecake," Bubbles put in.
"And we managed to clean up most of the mess before Jerry got back," Lilo said. "He'll never notice."
Just then the office door opened, and Jerry entered.
"Oh, hello to you all," he said.
"How was your business?," Tony asked.
"Exhausting," Jerry said. "How'd things go here?"
"Oh just fine," Lilo said. "We just sat around, hung out…"
"And busted Ms. Candy Sweet in a brainwashed cheerleader robbery scheme," Spongebob said.
"All of you…busted her…together?," Jerry asked.
"Aw shucks it was nothing," Mickey said. "Just happy to help."
"Well, I'm glad things worked out so welllll!," Jerry said as he was suddenly blown to the ground. Everyone turned to see Stitch playing with the Wind Tunnel 3000 Tornado Blast Hair Dryer.
"STITCH!," they all scolded.
"Naga (Sorry)," Stitch said.
Jerry lying on the floor, looked up and said, "Why are there holes in my ceiling?"
The students and teachers realizing they forgot to fix up the holes that Stitch had made earlier, all said in unision, "Aww, man!"
