The Powerpuff Girls in: Radical Dimension
By: DJ Rodriguez & Dreams Come True 996
(Author's Notes: Hey everyone! How are you all doing? I hope all of you are doing well, and to those of you going back to school/college, I ask the Lord to bless you all with confidence, courage and conviction!
Before I say or do anything else, I want to give praise and glory to the Lord. Thank you God for looking after my family and my friends! Thank you Jesus for helping me and them out! I really appreciate all that you have done for me, my family and my friends God. I am very grateful to you for all that you have done. I will do my best to follow you Jesus, and should I stumble and fall, I look to you to pick me back up. I fully accept any correction and discipline you give me, as long as it helps me to be more resistant to this world and its toxic folly. Continue to help those that need you very much God, this is what I ask.
Things have been a rollercoaster for me these past weeks or so, but again all thanks to the Lord, was able to get through them. I still have a ways to go before becoming a better servant & soldier to the Lord, but getting there day by day.
I want all of you to give a big round of applause please to my partner to this story, Author Dreams Come True 996! She is an excellent script writer, and her brilliant brain is immensely helpful as she spots small but crucial details that need to be corrected! I believe this; if storywriters took lessons from her, a LOT of TV and movie series would improve tremendously! She is that good! So give it up for her please! And check out her DeviantArt site that has a lot of awesome pictures, and it is MarieAngel04.
Also… sigh… we have learned more things on certain media entertainment companies & groups that have us more disillusioned & disappointed with them. So until certain companies get off the WOKE/New Normal bandwagons, and start to make the change to go back to the true, good and real ways of media entertainment, going to stick to the old-school stuff.
The kind that existed back when common sense, integrity, decency, honor, commitment, hard work, quality and clean love were in their work. Not the kind that is in today's modern works. Believe me… the more I learn on what certain companies have done to their own series and certain characters, the more disillusioned and disappointed I become. And ask the questions on why they would do such a thing…
In this episode, we shall see what happens in the Dream Realm and learn more about the PPG, Maria and more! And also to see what is happening in the realm of Hell, so be prepared!
I wish to do this for my Tia Pamela Espurova-Allen, and will keep doing it until some solid news comes in. She is working with police and other official groups to locate and bring home a missing girl that is part of a family she works with & has befriended.
Her name is Lina Khil, a little girl that was taken on December 20th, 2021. The search is still on for her, but so far… no luck.
Her information is this: She was four years old when she was abducted; hair brown, eyes brown, race Afghan, weight 55 lbs. & height 4'0. If any can help to locate and find her, please do so and notify the proper authorities. Hoping and praying still that she is found alive & returned to her family. They have put up a special about her on TV thanks to the San Antonio Police Department. Any information you wish to seek about her you can search for online, and hopefully it will help to find her and bring her back home safely.
We cannot please everyone, nor do we ever wish to do so. I believe in the words of my pastor Rick Godwin from Summit Christian Center at San Antonio and it is this: If you try to please everyone, you lose yourself entirely. So while others may not be pleased at this, it is what it is. My aim is not to please all, but to write a worthwhile story that follows Truth. No more, no less.
There will be NO kind of characters or reference to slash or femme-slash of any kind. There will also be NO trans, gender-free, binary/non-binary, gender-neutral characters or notions in this special series, nor in any of my other stories. See my Profile bio to see where I firmly stand in and at. In this I am VERY serious about!
Also, will be giving certain characters OC names from the website 20000-NAMES, as I have done in my previous stories. Each name is linked to a different nation, and has a different meaning. To see what they mean, go to website to look it up.
The three angels here… I modeled them after my favorite people. The male angel I modeled after my Christian hero and role model for a good long while, Carman Licciardello a.k.a. Carman. The two female angels I modeled after my Tia Michelle Motley and my Grandma Lillie Espurvoa, both who passed on in 2021 and 2022 respectively all due to that damned man-made creation known as COVID-19. Carman passed away in 2021 due to complications in surgery. I believe they are in Heaven now, and also that my Grandma Lillie is a Captain of a legion of archangels!
She was a fighter of and for Christ back in her day, and I believe with conviction that she is now a commander in the forces of God's Army. Whenever there is a storm, I believe that it is her & her armies kicking devil/demon butt! That every thunder sound is her bashing in a devil's skull in, and every lighting strike is her Sword of the Spirit cutting a demon in two! And the whipping winds are her forces chasing down the enemy, making sure they never escape!

Now, on with the triple crossover!)
~Intro, insert Journey~
The camera is entirely black for a few moments, than turns completely white. But almost immediately following it, an elongated oval shape appears. Its shape looks like an egg that has been turned on its side. After a moment, someone appears to drop down within the shape. It is a young woman, one with brown hair, fair white skin, blue eyes and red lipstick on her lips.
It turns out to be Maria Neverdomski, who is in her human form. And to her right are the words in dark-pink HANNA-BARBERA. Maria smiles, than a golden ring of energy appears on her left side and starts to go over her. The scene freezes at the moment where the golden ring is exactly at the halfway point, in the middle of Maria's face.
It shows half of her face; on the left is her halfa-form, which shows golden hair, bronze-colored skin, her eye is now green with a beauty mark near it, her lips now having blue lipstick coloring & she seems to be wearing bands in her hair & on her neck that shows the colors of blue, red and green.
The logo stays in place for a few moments, than it fades as the scenery changes to show the city of Townsville. The narrator is not speaking, as he is not part of the intro. Everything seems to be peaceful… until the silence is shattered by the sound of a police alarm! The camera zooms towards the city, many buildings passing by in a blur until it stops in front of a bank. The scene now shows the entrance to the bank, where police were coming in on the scene in their vehicles. When they arrived, they got out of their police cars and took positions behind it & drawing out their guns.
The camera shows the door to the establishment, which are soon blown open with some smoke coming out from them. And a close up is done as some red latex boots come walking out. When they stop, the camera slowly pans upward to show that the boots are thigh-high types that belong to only one villainess. The camera pans upward to show the alluring curves wrapped in red and black outfit, and soon comes to the smirking face of the one called Sedusa! The camera zooms outward to showcase the entire seductive frame of the villainess, who is holding a bag full of money in her left hand, while her right hand is covered in a black gauntlet that has a red gemstone on the back of it.
The scene shows Sedusa striking a sensual pose, which makes the male officers grin dumbly and lower their weapons. Hearts shoot out of their beings as they are entranced completely by Sedusa's form. However, the female officers are not affected and very much looked more ticked off now as they fire their guns at her! Sedusa smirk increases as she lifts the gauntlet in front of her, the camera showing the red gemstone glowing red. Rings of magnetic power appear in front of Sedusa, stopping the bullets in their tracks. The metal projectiles float in midair a few feet from her, causing the female officer to cease fire and look in shock at the action.
The villainess than cackles and sends the projectiles back at the law officers with twice the speed! The policewomen duck down behind their cars just in time, some pulling their still-stricken male partners to the ground so that they are not hit. This seems to snap them out of their lust-induced trance.
Sedusa cackles as she seems to be the one in control… but then flashes of pink, blue and green appear in front of her. She turns her head, and her smirk turns into a snarl as the camera does a round-about turn to show that floating a small distance from her were… the superheroines- the Powerpuff Girls! They are now ten years of age, showing that indeed they do & will age like normal humans. On the left is Bubbles, in the middle is Blossom and on the right is Buttercup. The trio are wearing their signature clothing that has not changed, but the wear is more suited for their pre-teen looks, as they look seriously at Sedusa.
The camera changes to show the villainess letting out a shriek and raising her gauntlet up, firing now red laser energy beams at them that erupt from the palm of the gauntlet. The girls scatter, zipping here and there as their trademark colors appear from their wake. This keeps up for a few moments, than the camera zooms out to show the whole of Townsville like before… but this time a golden comet streaks in, heading towards the city!
It soon changes back to the fight, where Sedusa is being able to hold off the PPG with her newly acquired item. However, the camera shows her facing the 4th wall and her eyes widen. The camera changes to show the golden comet that was streaking for her… and the comet shifted/changed to show that it was the halfa heroine Maria Angel, partner to hero Danny Phantom from Amity Park!
The camera shows the determined look on Maria's face as she flew in towards Sedusa, veering left and right to avoid the laser blasts until she was close to her quarry. The camera showed her connecting with a rising uppercut punch that sent the villainess reeling upwards! The camera than showed the PPG coming in from all sides; Bubbles took the bag of money and tossed it down to one of the policewomen below, who caught it. Next, it showed Blossom using her Freeze Breath on the gauntlet, which turned into ice and then shattered into pieces, revealing the now free hand of Sedusa. And finally, Buttercup came in with a punch to the villainess face that sent her crashing back down to the pavement!
The camera turned to show an aerial view of Sedusa, who was knocked down and out with a bruise on her chin and cheek.
The camera went back to ground level to see the PPG coming back to the ground, followed by Maria who congratulated the three on a job well done. Two policewomen came to the crater of Sedusa, bringing her up and cuffing her before taking her away. It seems that all is well… until a swirling white portal appears behind the superheroines!
The camera shows their faces of surprise, shock and fear. Before they could do anything, the portal sucks them in and quickly collapses on itself and closes.
The scene changes to showcase a tunnel of swirling white and blue energy, the PPG and Maria flipping through the area. They are soon enveloped in white energy until only their outlines show… and it starts to change as well!
The scene changes again, this time in front of what appears to be a large building. The portal opens up, and it seemingly spits out the four superheroines. However… they have changed! They are now anthro cats, and seeing themselves as such causes looks of panic and shock to come on their faces.
They are now in Megakat City!
The camera shows the changed superheroines looking to their right, and see the villains/villainesses of the SWAT Kats! The camera shifts to showcase the various bad guys and girls from left to right; the Metallikats- Mac and Molly Mange, Chopshop, Dr. Viper, Dark Kat with his Creepling minions, Ci-Kat-A, Turmoil, Hard Dive and Pastmaster.
The camera changes back to show the ladies very much confused and scared, then they hear something and turn around to look to their left. The camera shows many Enforcer sedans, Peace-Keeper tanks, Enforcer helicopters coming in & honing in on them! The sedan doors opened up, many male and female officers wearing Enforcer uniforms filing out with laser rifles at the ready.
After showcasing the arrival of the Enforcers, a special kind of sedan different from the rest comes forth. Getting out of the car was Commander Ulysses Feral, and by his side was his loyal officer Sgt. Talon. Coming out from the other side was Lt. Commander Steel.
The camera showed Feral with his swagger stick in hand, raising it up in the air and soon bringing it down and pointing at the PPG and Maria!
The camera changed back to show the PPG and Maria looking very much scared at this particular moment… than something happened that caused them to look up!
The camera changed to an aerial view, showing all of Megakat City… and a familiar black jet streaking in the sky! It was the TurboKat aircraft, the signature vehicle utilized by the vigilante heroes- the SWAT Kats! The camera showed the jet streaking over the city, going to where the action was down below. The canopy blasted open, and two objects ejected from it. The jet than did a U-turn, now on autopilot as it seemed to disappear over the horizon.
The two beings coming down in their specially designed ejector seats were Razor and T-Bone, the duo showing themselves to the camera as they aimed for Maria and the PPG!
When they landed, they looked at the ladies and smiled, also doing a small wave to the superheroines. The PPG look surprised, but Maria looks very much scared and it shows. The SWAT Kats faces show worry on why Maria is like that. The camera shows Buttercup, Blossom and Bubbles turning to their friend and giving her a hug. It seems that it was what was needed, as Maria seems to relax and hug them back.
The camera changes to go up in the air, giving a bird's eye view as it shows the SWAT Kats, the PPG and Maria in the middle between the Enforcers and the various bad guys and girls of the SWAT Kat world. A few moments later, a blue helicopter appears and the camera shows it as the sliding door opens to reveal three female anthro cats.
The one with the wireless microphone in hand is Ann Gora, the lovely reporter from Kat's Eye News. Above her in the middle is the beautiful blonde Deputy Mayor known as Callie Briggs, who looks curiously at the situation. And above her with laser pistol in hand was Lt. Felina Feral, niece to Commander Feral. She too has a look of curiosity, but also determined to see which side to favor before making said decision.
The camera stays on them for a while as they look down at the action, than the camera turns to show the SWAT Kats, Maria and the PPG look towards the camera in battle poses. They soon charge at the camera screen, where the action freezes to show to all their charging battle poses.
The camera zooms awhile a little, where the characters are surrounded by an entirely white backdrop. Above them appear the words in red THE POWERPUFF GIRLS, and below them were the words in black RADICAL DIMENSION.
~End theme song~
It was 11:00 p.m. in the anthro world where Maria and the Powerpuff Girls were at. Usually, most of the city would be silent as the citizens would be asleep. But since it was Spring Break, many young adult kats and kittens were up to experience the late-night life. So some establishments were still open, but they would be closing soon.
But something extraordinary was about to take place in the garage home of Chance and Jake.
At said location, Mr. Clawson & Mr. Furlong were sound asleep on large mattresses that was in the Underground Bunker, stored there in case of emergencies when sleeping in their own beds was not an option. They had back-ups for any kind of occasion, which included sheets and covers.
They would normally be asleep in their own civilian beds upstairs, but they were preoccupied by the visitors from another universe. Maria Neverdomski was sleeping in Jake's room, while the PPG occupied Chance's bed. And due to the size of said kat and the bed, it was naturally large enough to hold all three comfortably.
Bubbles was on the left, clutching her little plushie Octi. Even though she had grown into a pre-teen, the precious blonde superheroine never threw away her old stuffed toy. It brought comfort to her when she needed it, thus she had taken it with her on the trip earlier. Blossom was sound asleep in the middle, and Buttercup snoring on the right side with her small mint-green blanket with her. Buttercup did not overly rely on the small object like she used to, but she still carried it around like a comforter. It always soothed her when she held it, and she took it with her on the trip as well.
Her sisters had excellent selective hearing thanks to enduring many hours of her snoring, so they managed to sleep through it.
But soon their facial expressions changed slightly, showcasing that they were dreaming. Let us take a deeper look to find out what they were dreaming:
~Dream Realm~
The PPG were floating together in the clear blue sky above, the trio looking at one another in only mild surprise. In the past, they had come together in a single dream on certain occasions. Normally, one would be freaked out at experiencing the same dream with another. But due to their past histories and such with various supernatural & scientific actions, they had almost gotten used to seeing each other in a single dream.
Bubbles looked around and asked in a curious tone, "Hey girls, why is it that we're here? And where is here?".
Blossom answered as she looked around in the same tone as her sister, "I don't know. I don't see any recognizable land marks below. But look at this! We're in our true forms!". Indeed, in the Dream Realm, they could be any form they had wished & it appears that they were back to their human forms.
Buttercup remarked, "Good! I mean, it's kinda weird being a kitten. I mean, the claws and tail are cool and all but… just feels so weird to be an anthro.". The young ladies were again no strangers to being turned into different kinds of things, but being an anthro was a first for them.
The girls looked around more, but they could not see anything. And when they tried to move, it seemed that they were not going anywhere even though they could move. After some time, Bubbles got nervous and asked, "Why do you think this is happening to us?".
A powerful male voice called out, "YOUR QUESTION WILL BE ANSWERED BUBBLES CELESTYNA UTONIUM.". The sudden emergence, and the power of the voice startled the young ladies, making them look around frantically for the owner of the voice. The voice they heard was powerful, strong, steeled with authority but not in an unpleasant way.
They felt something warm coming from behind them, and they turned… only to gasp at seeing something incredible emerging out of empty sky.
Appearing out of thin air was a kingdom… one that looked to surpass anything they had ever seen in their own world! It was so beautiful that they all let out soft gasps as they saw buildings that were manors, tastefully done and not over the top. Everything looked pristine and new, gleaning like the sun itself yet they were not blinded by it. A magnificent palace structure was in the middle of the buildings, something that just could not be described with mere words. Even the most imaginative of writers could not come close to describing the majesty of it, even if they could. From the bottom of the palace was a wide river that cut through many sections of the city, a river that looked so pure and clean.
What also surprised the girls were that walking on the ground & flying about were people… with wings on their backs! They wore clothing that was from Earth, but on their backs were wings like those of great Bald Eagles!
Buttercup whispered in awe, "Blossom… what… what is this place?".
The redheaded sister answered back in a tone that mirrored Buttercup's, "I… I think this is Heaven. Maria told us about it in the Bible… of the Kingdom. A place in Heaven that surpasses anything built by man, and what will replace what is on Earth when the time comes.".
Bubbles's eyes widened as a thought came to her. She spoke in a scared tone, "Does… Does that mean we are…?".
A female voice spoke up in a strong yet gentle tone, "NO YOUNG ONE, YOU ARE NOT DECEASED. TURN AROUND IF YOU PLEASE.".
The trio did just that, and were soon greeted by the sight of three angels appearing before them from thin air! One was male, two were female. The male one looked to be in his early 30's, short but well cut black hair, brown eyes that shone with warmth & confidence. His skin was fair with a light tan to it. He wore a black formal collared jacket with a white collared button shirt underneath it. Black slacks and black formal shoes on him.
The female on his right looked to be around her early 30's as well. She had fair light-tan skin, honey-colored brown hair, brown eyes and a good figure that was covered in a white dress with two golden chain necklaces around her. She looked to be kind and gentle, yet possessed a strength that even the PPG could feel which was impressive.
The female on the left looked to be in her late 20's, slightly taller than the other angel woman. She had light brown hair, brown eyes, a fair light-tan skin, wearing a white shirt with red splotches on it here and there & blue jeans. Her face looked similar to the other woman's, an indication that perhaps they were related.
Blossom was the first one who spoke as she asked hesitantly, "Who… Who are you three?".
The male angel answered gently, "DO NOT BE AFRAID BLOSSOM ANGELIKA UTONIUM, NOR YOU BUTTERCUP EDYTA UTONIUM. WE ARE YOUR GUARDIAN ANGELS, ASSIGNED TO YOU BY THE KING OF KINGS HIMSELF THE MOMENT YOU THREE WERE BORN.".
This certainly surprised the trio, and it showed on their faces. The angel woman on the left stated, "MY NAME IS MICHELLE MOTLEY. THE OTHERS WITH ME ARE CARMAN, AND MY MOTHER LILLIE ESPUROA.".
Lillie added in, "AND WE ARE IN THE DREAM WORLD. NORMALLY YOU THREE WOULD DREAM SEPARATELY, BUT THE LORD HAS MANAGED TO BRING YOU THREE TOGETHER IN THIS PARTICULAR DREAM FOR A REASON.".
Buttercup was about to say something when Carman spoke, "WE KNOW OF YOUR QUESTIONS, ON WHY YOU ARE HERE & WHY WE ARE SHOWING OURSELVES TO YOU NOW. ALL OF IT CONCERNS OF YOUR FRIEND THAT YOU CONSIDER A SISTER, MARIA NEVERDOMSKI.".
Michelle put forth, "WE ASK THAT YOU BE PATIENT, AND WILL ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS WHEN WE HAVE TOLD YOU WHAT NEEDS TO BE TOLD.". Seeing as this was important, the trio of mortals nodded their heads as they floated patiently in front of the angels.
Carman cleared his throat before he started to tell what was needed, "BACK IN 2010 IN YOUR UNIVERSE, A CERTAIN GIRL WAS CAUSING MUCH PAIN AND DEATH IN THE PLACE YOU CALL AMITY PARK. SHE WAS A LOST SOUL; ONE THAT WAS OBSESSED WITH THE YOUNG MAN KNOWN AS DANNY FENTON, TO THE POINT THAT SHE WOULD KILL ANY OTHER GIRL THAT SHE CONSIDERED A RIVAL IN HER CORRUPTED MIND FOR THE YOUNG MAN'S AFFECTION.".
This made the PPG's eyes widened with surprise, confusion and fear. They had met and fought many kinds of crazy villains/villainesses in their line of work… but this was certainly new for them. They had met girls who were jealous of their looks and abilities, but they never would go that far as to kill or seriously hurt them because of it.
He waved his right hand, and soon the girls were in Amity Park but back in the year 2010! They saw the various citizens of the place, but when they tried to touch them or the buildings… they went right through them like spirits! Michelle explained that what they were seeing was a vision of the past that has already come and gone, that they could not truly interact with anything.
The PPG then saw a girl that was wearing a black clothes, looking very much like the classic punk goth style that was popular back in the 1980s but with a more modern flair. She was hiding around a building corner, looking at the young man Danny Fenton who was walking with a young Maria. The superheroines saw the look of hate and coldness on the face of the girl… Bubbles shivering as she got close to Buttercup on instinct for protection, as such a look scared her very much.
Lillie continued on the story, "HER POISONED MIND WAS DUE TO A CURSED CONDITION THAT IS PASSED FROM FAMILY TO FAMILY. SOMETIMES IT SKIPS A GENERATION, BUT THIS ONE HIT THIS PARTICULAR GIRL HARD. AND NO, I CANNOT REVEAL THE NAME OF THIS GIRL, AS THE LORD HAS STATED THAT ONLY MARIA CAN TELL YOU AT HER CHOOSING.".
Michelle picked up the dialogue, "THIS GIRL SOON USED SATANIC MAGIC TO SUMMON THE ONE YOU CALL HIM, ONE OF THE HIGHER RANKING DEMONS OF HELL WHO IS CLOSE TO THE FALLEN ANGEL WHO RULES THE DOMAIN.". Again, this stunned the Powerpuff Girls as they honestly had no idea the rank of the vile and whacked-out demon. Sure they had fought Him a lot, but they never considered at all his rank. And now hearing about it, they were very much surprised.
Carman once more spoke, "THIS PARTICULAR GIRL ASKED THE FOUL DEMON TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT MARIA AS SHE HAD THE AFFECTION OF DANNY. TO THAT END… HE SUMMONED THE NEGA-KATS, THE EVIL ALTERNATE VERSIONS OF THE SWAT KATS THAT YOU HAVE MET RECENTLY.".
The scene changed to showcase the room of the corrupted girl, who was in her room doing a ritual that had many kinds of symbols painted on the ground & around the walls. The girl did a chant in a language that was unknown to the PPG, especially to Bubbles which surprised them as the blonde superheroine was quite fluent in all kinds of language spoken.
The PPG soon saw red smoke swirling from the central symbol, and soon small bits of red flames emerging from it. The form of Him came forth, the mortal girl showing delight that her summoning worked. HIM though, looked highly amused at the girl. Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup had seen that kind of smile before… the kind where the cross-dressing demon would take delight in manipulating anyone like a puppet.
Him than stepped aside and raised his claws, opening a dark green portal that appeared in front of the gothic girl. From the portal emerged… the Nega-Kats! The PPG saw that they looked like Jake and Chance from the photos they saw in their bunker, but they also saw the subtle & obvious differences. First, the fur coloring was very much darker than them. Also, their uniforms were more sinister, more black and red then blue. Their eyes were solid yellow, and held a sinister kind of malice and love of violence than anything else. Their helmets were darker in color, and also held green skull insignia on them.
And the last part was the amount of maliciousness that they had, their very presence and body stance showed that they loved to cause pain, misery and death. The girl showed the trio the picture of her target… Maria! HIM looked to the Nega-Kats, giving the order to rub out Maria! Buttercup got so mad that she flew towards Him to punch him in the face! But her first went right through it like vapor. But that did not stop Buttercup from trying more, but she was soon restrained by her sisters.
Blossom whispered, "Buttercup, stop it! We need to see more of this! We wanted to know why Maria was so hostile to Jake and Chance, and this is it!".
Bubbles added in, "This will give us the chance to understand her and the situation more. So Buttercup please, control yourself.". Buttercup slowly ceased her actions, her sisters slowly letting go & allowing her to take the deep breathing exercises that she learned some years ago. Once she was calm and centered, she looked to her siblings and thanked her.
Buttercup looked to the angels and spoke in an apologetic tone, "Sorry about that. I… I got carried away.".
Carman smiled softly and answered, "IT IS UNDERSTANDABLE. YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO BE ANGRY HERE. ANGER IS AN EMOTION THAT IS NATURAL, BUT IT IS HOW ONE CHANNELS AND USES IT THAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RIGHT AND WRONG. AND SEEING YOU CALM YOURSELF LIKE SO SHOWS THAT YOU CONTROL IT, THAT IT DOES NOT CONSUME YOU.".
The angels had seen in their existence the many times mortals had acted in anger; some in constructive, positive ways that brought about good change. Sadly, a majority had acted out of crazed hate and other kinds of negative emotions & outlooks that caused them to go down badly. And some extreme enough to go down to Hell.
Michelle pushed on forward, "THE NEGA-KATS WERE FROM AN ALTERNATE UNIVERSE THEN THE ONE YOU ARE IN NOW. HIM CAN PULL IN OTHER BEINGS FROM OTHER UNIVERSES, BUT IT COMES AT A COST TO HIS POWER. THE FARTHER THE UNIVERSE IS, THE MORE POWER IT CONSUMES AND WEAKENS HIM.".
Indeed, the PPG shifted their focus from the Nega-Kats to Him, and saw that he did look winded. And also that he actually aged up a little! They all assumed that he was ageless, but it seemed that consuming much power did seem to have an effect on his physiology. Him took in a deep breath and seemed to regenerate himself, but he still look winded.
This was something that was useful, so they all committed it to memory as best they could.
The scene continued but shifted, going from the room of the young girl to the outside. The PPG saw Maria going out for a walk in Amity Park at night, apparently coming back from the movies. That is when the Nega-Kats emerged from the shadows of an alley, sinister looks on their faces. The superheroines called out to Maria on instincts, but they soon realized that it was no use. They could see and hear everything, but could not interact with visons of the past.
Maria did not see them coming, as she was not yet the unique halfa that she was to be yet. The Nega-Kats trailed her, seeing her go into her house & using their binocular gadgets that had infrared vision & various other eyesight capabilities, go into her room. The scene changed to showcase the inside of Maria's room, where it was well-kept and tidy, along with a small dog. She was about to change out of her clothes… when her pet dog Luna the Westie mix started to bark fiercely!
Knowing that her furry member of the family did not just bark like she was doing for no reason, Maria looked out the window… and was taken aback by two unusual faces that just appeared from above her! It was the Nega-Kats! They chuckled evilly as they leapt into her room, the young girl backing away quickly. She turned to run, but Nega-T-Bone managed to grab her tight in a strong reverse bearhug! Luna barked and did her best to help her mistress, going to Nega-Chance's ankle and biting on it hard.
Alas, she was kicked away by Nega-Razor! He kicked her like an American football, yelping from the kick and slamming into the wall hard! She whimpered from the kick, and tried to move but it hurt a lot. The lanky Nega-Razor sneered in malicious amusement, then went to the struggling human. Once T-Bone turned her around, Maria was met with a strong punch to the face that KO'd her in one hit! Her cheek was starting to swell slowly from the hit, the young woman still held tight in the grip of the larger kat.
The past soon ended, melting away like mist on a hot day & all now back in the Heavens. Bubbles looked to the angels and whispered in fear, "W-What happened after that?".
The celestial beings gained sorrowful looks with Michelle speaking up softly and in a tone that was full of sadness, "YOUNG ONE… IT IS MUCH TOO GRAPHIC FOR YOU TO SEE AT YOUR AGE. AND IF YOU WANT TO KNOW… YOU WILL HAVE TO ASK MARIA ABOUT IT.".
This really upset the PPG, as they knew the hidden implications of what the angel was saying to them. Maria had to have endured some horrible things at the hands of the Nega-Kats… things that their parents and Maria were very hesitant to tell them about. They had saved the day many times as heroines… but they were not fully aware or could fully comprehend the depths of depravity, cruelty and nastiness of the dark side of mortals.
Seeing their looks of a mixture of fear and anger, Lillie spoke up once more, "DO NOT THINK OF REVENGE, YOUNG ONES. THE EVIL VERSIONS OF JAKE AND CHANCE ARE NO MORE, FOR THEY ARE BURNING IN THE PIT DOWN BELOW. AND THE YOUNG GIRL WHO DID WHAT SHE DID IS BEING TREATED AT A MENTAL INSTITUTION WITH DEDICATED PEOPLE THAT WILL TRY TO HELP HER TO COMPLETELY BREAK THE CURSE THAT IS ON HER FAMILY.".
While they were relieved to hear of the demise of the Nega-Kats, they were still skeptical about the girl who had put a supernatural hit on their adoptive sister. They were wondering if someone like that could change… but they kept that opinion to themselves for the time being.
Carman then spoke, "THE FATHER STATED THAT YOU THREE MUST HELP MARIA TO OVERCOME THE FEAR THAT SHE STILL KEEPS INSIDE OF HER, AND TO FULLY CONQUER IT AS WELL. AND ALSO THAT YOU HELP HER TO SEE THE TRUTH; THAT THE KATS YOU ALL ARE WITH ARE NOT THE ONES THAT TORMENTED HER YEARS AGO.".
This caused the PPG to look more surprised, as this was a command from the Lord of Lords Himself! They looked to each, Bubbles soon nodding her head. There was no need for words, as sometimes they were not needed. The remaining girls looked to one another, smiled and turned back to the angels before nodding their heads. They had accepted!
The angels smiled and nodded their heads as well, glad to see that the superheroine had accepted the command from Jesus and His Father. Michelle spoke, "THAT IS GOOD TO HEAR. AND SOON, YOU WILL WAKE UP IN YOUR ANTHRO FORMS & BACK IN THE ALTERNATE UNIVERSE.".
Blossom than asked a critical question, "Will… Will we ever get back home?".
It was Lillie who answered her in a gentle tone like a grandmother would, "CHILD, I CANNOT REVEAL WHEN YOU WILL BE RETURNED TO YOUR HOME UNIVERSE. BUT I CAN SAY THIS THAT YOU ALL WILL RETURN THERE. BUT THE TIME IS TO BE KEPT A MYSTERY FOR NOW.".
Carman than spoke the final words, "KEEP HAVING FAITH AND TRUST IN THE LORD. HE WILL GUIDE YOU AND MARIA THROUGH THIS NEW ADVENTURE YOU ALL ARE IN. OBEY HIM AND PRAY TO HIM NO MATTER WHAT. YOU ALL ARE IN GOOD HANDS. AND WHATEVER TROUBLE MAY COME, HE WILL HELP YOU TO GAIN THE STRENGTH, WISDOM, COURAGE, CONVICTION AND POWER TO SEE YOU THROUGH ALL OF IT.".
The world soon started to turn white, the PPG feeling a sensation overcoming them before all were engulfed in the light.
The PPG soon stirred from their slumber, awakening at the same time. The little kittens rubbed the sleep from their eyes, soon discovering that they were indeed back in the waking world. And also back in their new forms. Buttercup looked to her sisters and asked, "Did you all have the same dream I have? Where all of us were together, we met our three guardian angels & that we saw what happened in 2010 to Maria?".
Seeing the duo nod their heads at the same time, Buttercup sighed and said in a relived tone, "Good. Just wanted to make sure.".
Bubbles looked to Blossom while holding Octi tight and asking softly, "Blossom, what are we going to do? I mean, if we tell Maria this, she might get angry and…".
The redheaded leader of the team pat Bubbles on the shoulder and replied softly, "She might get a bit upset Bubbles, but she would never do anything to hurt us. Remember, she is better than that.". Bubbles did know that Miss Neverdomski would NEVER hurt them if she could help it, if she was not brainwashed or something akin to that. But she was still nervous on what her reaction would be… and also still cared of seeing the Nega-Kats.
Buttercup looked to her siblings and stated, "Well, we need to come up with some kind of plan to talk to her about what we saw now. Otherwise we won't be getting any sleep.". It was true. If they did not come up with something solid, it would only gnaw away at them and prevent them from getting any decent sleep.
So the trio put their heads together to see on what they could do tomorrow morning with the information & command they were given.
~Meanwhile~
While the PPG were having the unique dream of meeting their guardian angels in Heaven, Maria was having a dream of her own. But her facial expressions showed that what she was experiencing was not a sweet dream like the girls were doing… rather, a nightmare! And a horrible one at that.
~Nightmare Sequence: Maria's POV~
Around her was a void, a dark abyss that did not seem to end. Maria looked this way and that, but there was nothing in sight. She looked down at her hands and arms, a bit surprised to see that she was in her true human form. There was also no noise, save for her soft breathing. She called out hesitantly, "H-Hello? I-Is anyone there?". All she got was an echo that sounded off everywhere, making her more nervous.
After some moments, Maria decided to change into her alter-ego in order to soothe her nerves. She was bathed in golden light, and soon was now Maria Angel. She flew straight ahead, hoping to find any other signs of life. It seemed though as she flew for hours, but found nothing else in the void. She was about to stop… when she heard some high-pitched familiar voices nearby!
She whispered in fright, "Oh no, the girls! Hang on girls! I'm coming!". Maria than flew fast through the void, powered-up by her frantic emotions.
After about ten minutes of flight, at least to her, she saw something that made her stop… and also made her heart race many more times than normal. Before her were the PPG, in human form and wearing their old clothes that they used to wear in the past! They were strapped to a table that was as black as obsidian, and it was upright so that Maria could see them more clearly.
The halfa heroine looked up, and saw that behind the girls was a LARGE round-bottom flask beaker that was filled with a light-purple substance. Maria recognized the substance quickly and whispered in fright and horror, "Oh God… its Antidote X!".
Antidote X is a chemical compound developed by Professor Utonium, as it was to counter the effects of his own creation Chemical X. Chemical X was a potent substance, but also extremely dangerous due to its mutagenetic composition. Therefore, the Professor had developed a chemical that would counteract and neutralize the substance even down to the molecular level.
Professor Utonium kept some around in case of emergencies with mutations that had been doused with the substance due to their enemies. He made sure though that it was kept safe and secure. What others did not know was that in case the PPG made the ultimate decision of their own volition to be normal humans instead of super-powered ones… he would give to them.
It originally was a thick red substance, but it was modified by David. He had shown it to Maria, telling her that he had modified it so that should the time come for the girls to make the ultimate decision, the substance would just erase their powers only. It would keep them intact instead of completely reverting them back to their original essences. It was very tricky, but he had managed to do it. He did warn her though that even though it would take away just their powers… if injected with too much, it would stop their body functions and kill them!
They all looked to Maria, their eyes widened in sheer terror and Blossom called out in a tone that mirrored their current emotions, "MARIA, HELP US PLEASE!".
The halfa heroine got a determined look on her face as she replied, "Hold on girls, I'm going to free you!". But before she could do anything… two huge weights suddenly came crashing down on her from behind! She fell with a loud THUD on the void ground, which was now solid amazingly so.
She was about to struggle hard to get her attackers off of her, but that is when she felt something sharp being jabbed on her back! She instantly recognized the jab as something done with a syringe with a needle in it, and she felt that the needle that was now being poked deeply into the middle of her back was quite thick.
Maria felt herself quickly getting weaker, her body starting to slack and her breathing becoming more difficult. She was then turned onto her back to see her attackers… and her eyes widened in fear similar to the PPG as she saw the figures of the Nega-Kats!
The two evil versions of the SWAT Kats snickered evilly, their smiles and sounds bringing back such painful memories. Maria could feel her heart racing more, a familiar feeling of helplessness ensnaring her like a nasty virus. However, it was nothing when she looked beyond the heads of the Nega-Kats… seeing a shadowy silhouette of someone that was very familiar. And though she could not see her face, she saw familiar violet eyes and a slasher kind of grin that would make Freddy Kruger himself proud!
A familiar female voice calls out in a mocking/taunting way, "Well, well, well… look who it is. The halfa freak has been laid low by the big bad cats. Oh, dear me. Hehehehe… looks like the cats are going to have so much fun with the little mouse that they caught.".
Maria tried to move, tried to scream, tried to do anything. But her movements were weak and sluggish, being easily pinned down by the muscular evil anthro kat. The mysterious figure cackled in a way that was tough on the ears and exclaimed in an overly smug grin, "Heh, feeling weak? Awww… well, maybe it's because of the mixture of Antidote X & Blood Blossom Essence that they just injected into you. Hehehehehe…".
This made Maria's eyes go slightly more wide in fear. Blood Blossoms were blood-red flowers that were effective against anything supernatural, though it was questionable if the flowers themselves were natural to begin with.
Surprisingly, it was Alice Keane that made a crucial discovery about the blossoms! She had done some digging in the past, a hobby of hers back in her college days before meeting David & before becoming a teacher. She discovered that Blood Blossoms were artificial; made by a botanist who was not all there in the head. His name was Niclaus Rein, a German botanist who also researched into the supernatural in the early 15th century. He had managed to gather some essence samples from several supernatural creatures; mucus from a kobold, powered horn that was shed from the being known as Krampus, moss from the Moss People, saliva from a Lindworm and more.
He had mixed the samples up in various batches and introduced them to the plants he was creating, hoping to create an artificial object that could bring him glory and power. His original aim was to create a plant that would give anyone supernatural abilities… however, his plants were considered failures as they did not give him any kind of power. Oh, they did give him something… trips to the bathroom which would stink the place up for some weeks. Considering what he consumed and inhaled, one would call him fortunate to only receive just that.
After two months' worth of experiment failures, Niclaus decided to end his project. He burned away his contaminated plants, though some rose seeds managed to bounce off from their box & hit the ground. Once all of his experiments were burned, he sold his home and left the area. He did not know that the rose seeds that hit the ground took root and started to sprout, also absorbing the ash from the mixture of burned experiments. It was all this combination that soon gave life to the plants called Blood Blossoms!
And it was this discovery that had others soon finding and cultivating the artificial plant once they saw its effects against the supernatural, some taking it with them overseas with them to the New World a.k.a America.
In any case, this was the reason that was making Maria weaker. The shadow-hidden girl spoke once more in tone that was gleeful and malicious at the same time, "You took something precious away from me, freak. And I intend to take something that you hold dear as well. Consider this a lesson on what happens when you cross me.".
She snapped her fingers… and the machine that held the PPG activated, whirling to life as the purple Antidote X was now pumped through the clear tubes and into the PPG! The pre-teens cried out and struggled as they fought against their bonds, but the manacles holding them down kept firm. Maria could only watch in horror as the struggles of her little ones started to weaker, and after several minutes… their movements ceased as the entire bottle of the chemical was empty. They were still as the grave, and Maria's heart pounded hard inside her chest as she saw the PPG was no more… she soon let loose a cry of anguish that echoed loudly through the empty void as she was transformed back into her human form.
Maria Angel was no more, now in her powerless human/mortal form Maria Neverdomski.
The cold-hearted villainess laughed in a way that really heckled on Maria's nerves, then spoke up in the same tone as before, "You can play with her now boys. I have somewhere else to be. Enjoy. Hehehehe…". The eyes and mouth soon vanished, similar to the Cheshire Cat from the animated 1951 Disney film Alice in Wonderland.
The Nega-Kats chuckled evilly with Nega-T-Bone stating with malicious delight, "Hehehehe… now to soften you up, sweetie.".
The two started to land many punches and kicks down at Maria, who did her best to fight back but it was of little use. The mixture of chemicals in her body had severely weakened her muscles and reflexes, the pain amplified greatly than any of the battles she had been in! It was like a street fight, only it was one-sided beatdown.
After five minutes, Maria was on her back as she looked very much injured and messed up. Her eyes were swollen, her lip bleeding on the lower-right corner, her ribs cracked and bruises most likely on every side & front.
Nega T-Bone admired their nasty handiwork and spoke up, "Hehehehe… well, she's softened up. Time for the main event!".
He went to where her head was, kneeling down and pinning her arms above her cranium. Maria was whimpering in fear, terror and pain, her eyes trying to widen but it was not possible due to how swollen said objects were. Nega-Razor got to where her legs were, kneeling down and making a sinister chuckle as his hands went to her jeans.
However, soon everything went white before the clawed hands could touch the fabric of her jeans.
~End dream~
In Jake's room, Maria's upper body rose up like a shot & the Polish-American girl let out a loud scream! The sound was heard all around the garage home, echoing through the junkyard. Fortunately, no one heard her outside as there was no living soul out there. Also, the SWAT Kats did not hear her as they were underground. The door and walls were soundproof, so Jake and Chance did not hear her scream.
However, three superheroines did hear her clearly and went out fast from Chance's room, streaking towards Jake's room. They opened the door, as Maria did not lock it, and saw the young woman sitting up on the bed. She was panting heavily, her body drenched in cold sweat and her eyes wide with fear and panic.
The young ones were instantly worried, going to her and floating up & on the bed. Bubbles asked in concern, "Maria, what's wrong? What happened?".
Seeing the trio alive made Maria quickly realize that what she experienced was a horrible nightmare. But she was running high on emotions, tears coming forth from her face before she let out a powerful sob and grabbed the trio with her arms, bringing them in for one big sisterly group hug.
Maria whispered into the hug that only they could hear, "Thank God! Thank God you three are all right! I will NEVER let anyone hurt you! My promise to Jesus Himself!".
The PPG saw that she was really upset; realizing that she experienced a strong nightmare, and that they were involved in it. The trio did their best to comfort the young woman, whispering soothing words to her that they were all okay and with her. It took five minutes for Maria to suitable calm down, and that is when Blossom asked in a concerned tone, "Maria, what happened? Did you have a nightmare?".
She nodded her head, sniffling a little and wiping the tears from her eyes. She answered softly, "Yes… Yes I did. But I… I don't…".
The superheroines realized that she did not wish to dive back into her nightmare, as apparently it was truly a traumatic one. The trio guessed that it may have had to be linked to the incident that the angels showed to them involving the Nega-Kats.
Bubbles whispered, "Shhh, it's okay Maria. We're still here, and always going to be here.". She pat the shoulder of the young woman, all of them finding the irony here. Usually when any of them had a nightmare, they would come to her for comfort and peace. And now they were doing it for her.
Buttercup got from the bed, flew back to Chance's room, and came back with her favorite green blanket. She looked to it, than to the sniffling form of Maria. The green-loving girl knew what had to be done, going to her and extending the blanket to her. She said, "Here Maria, take my blanket. Maybe it can help you like it does to me.".
The halfa heroine looked up at her in a bit of surprise, as did her siblings. Buttercup and her green blanket were a pair, almost inseparable. And to see her make a sacrifice like so showed that she was very much willing to do what it took to calm Miss Neverdomski!
Bubbles got inspired, soon rushing out like her sister did & coming back with her plushy Octi. She extended her hand out, putting her plushy besides the blanket and saying with hope in her tone, "Here Maria, take Octi too! I bet he and Blankie can keep the bad nightmares away.".
Maria slowly took the object, first Buttercup's blanket and then the plushy octopus. She looked to them, then to the smiling faces of Bubbles and Buttercup. Slowly, a small smile spread on her face as she whispered, "Thank you… Thank you so much, you two.". This made all three superheroines glad that they were able to help their friend/sister like so.
Blossom hugged Maria on last time, giving an extra squeeze for good measure and whispered, "You get some rest now Maria. We'll see you in the morning, and then we can talk.". Maria nodded her head in agreement, soon being hugged by Bubbles and Buttercup as they joined in. The group hug lasted for several moments before they slowly broke up.
Buttercup was the first to leave, followed by Blossom and lastly Bubbles. The blonde pre-teen waved goodbye and goodnight to Maria before leaving, gently closing the door.
Once they were gone, Maria slowly lied back down on Jake's bed. In her left arm was Octi, and on her right arm was Blankie. She looked to the ceiling, the nightmare still fresh and it would be awhile until the terror that she felt in the dream would dissipate. She whispered with all of her heart and soul into her words, "Lord, please protect the girls and me. Please guide and guard us through this new situation that we're in.".
She slowly drifted back to sleep, the beloved items from her charges secured in her arms.
~Meanwhile~
In the fiery realm of Hell, a meeting was close to starting in the living room of the high-ranked demon known as HIM. He and his personal minions the Fluffy Bunch were awaiting the guests to appear. When the clock struck the hour of midnight, the ancient grandfather clock nearby that was demonic looking rang its bells! Its was at this precise moment and time that action took place!
In flashes of swirling red light sprang up from thin air! The light writhed chaotically like living snakes before dissipating, revealing the ones who had accepted the invite from HIM. The cross-dressing demon smirked in delight at seeing his guests; Mojo Jojo, the large pink with slightly gray fur here and there Fuzzy Lumpkins, the pre-teen brat Princess Morbucks, the older & more deranged Gang Green Gang minus Big Billy, seductive Sedusa back in her normal attire, the pre-teen loose cannons the Rowdyruff Boys, the alluring Femme Fatale, the false hero Major Man, the newcomers Julie and Bud Smith, the ever-comedic trio the Amoeba Boys, the zombie magician Abracadaver & the monster with a sense of disco flair Boogieman!
Once all of them appeared, that is when some conversation began. Sedusa looked at herself and stated, "Ah, back in my true outfit! That black and white prison outfit did not go well on me.". She was glad that the invite she got managed to get her out of prison, though truth be told she did NOT like the letter in of itself as it grossed her out.
Femme Fatale looked to her fellow sister-in-crime and added, "I hear that sister! And I have to say, it's good to be back in my old uniforms as well!". The blonde women's right hypocrite had been in jail for some time after being busted by Maria and the PPG about a year ago.
Bud Smith pointed to Mojo and exclaimed, "Hey look! It's the one who created those stupid Powerpuff Girls!". All eyes looked to Mojo, but the mutated chimp just had a neutral look in his eyes and on his face.
He sneered at the greenhorn in villainy and stated, "Do you wish to see how much I have learned during my self-exile, little human? None of you know what I have been doing, so you do not know what I am now capable of.".
This surprised the group of villains and villainesses, as they had often heard Mojo go on long winded rants and such. But to hear him speak with cold, edged refinement & in a calm manner made them think that perhaps he was right. He had gone off the radar for a good while, so who knew what he was now capable of.
Major Man tried to defuse the situation by saying in a placating tone, "Now, now. No need for that. We are friends here after all.". That got varying looks from the others, and not one of them considered the other friends. Acquaintances maybe, but not friends.
Brick of the Rowdyruff Boys gave an ugly sneer and exclaimed, "Can it musclehead! We're not friends here, and never will be!". His brothers backed him up on that, standing behind their leader.
HIM's voice called out, "OH, I THINK YOU ALL BETTER START TO SEEING EACH OTHER AS FRIENDS NOW.". All tuned their heads to the back to see the form of the demon, who was smirking wickedly at them. All had looks of fear on their faces, even Mojo Jojo. Even though the chimpanzee had changed drastically, at least in the eyes of most of them, even he was not foolish enough to try anything against the one who was very high in the ranks of Hell.
The sinister minion of the Fallen Angel walked past the group, going between the Gang Green Gang & the Amoeba Boys who shrunk back & gave wide berth to the demonic one. The Fluffy Bunch snickered as they took delight in seeing the looks of terror on the mortal's face.
HIM situated himself where all could see him, snapping his claws and having a chair materialize out of a flash of fire. The chair was elegant and looked to be of high quality… if one can call it that as it looked to be warped and twisted, just like its owner.
After some moments at looking to all who were assembled there, HIM spoke up, "NOW, ALL OF YOU ARE WONDERING ON WHY I INVITED YOU ALL TO MY CHARMING LITTLE HOME.".
Boogieman replied in a careful tone, "That is true. You said in your letter that you had some information to share. And for you to call all of us here, it must be big news.".
HIM nodded and stated, "THAT IS CORRECT. AND TO SHARE THIS INFORMATION ARE THE ONES WHO HEARD IT. I NOW DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO MY PERSONAL MINIONS, THE FLUFFY BUNCH.". He gestured to his small animal minions, who stepped forward and cackled in delight. Normally, they would not be given respect at all due to the appearance. But now in their demonic forms & also with HIM as back-up, they were now given respect and attention thanks to fear & intimidation.
Shigella exclaimed, "Alright you mortals! Listen well, because I will not repeat myself!".
The cat started to tell on what she and her cohorts saw and heard in Townsville, and needless to say the villains/villainesses were soon smiling with wicked delight as they heard the part about the disappearance of the heroines who had always defeated them. Once the report was given, the excitement was palpable as the vile characters started to bounce ideas and such off one another, such as stating on who should attack first, when it will be done and how.
However… the talking was silence when HIM snapped his claws, causing a shockwave that echoed through the place. In his domain, he could turn any little thing into something more. Once he had their attention, the high-ranked demon proclaimed in his usual high-pitched tone, "NOW THAT WE NOW ALL HAVE A COMMON GOAL HERE, IT IS TIME TO TAKE THE NEXT STEP. SO HERE.".
He snapped his claws once more, and a cup filled with straws with paper covering appeared out of thin air. It floated to be in the middle of the living room and the resident of Hell explained, "EACH OF YOU PICK A STRAW AND UNCOVER IT. THE ONE WHO GETS THE BLACK STRAW WILL STRIKE FIRST. SHOULD THEY SUCCEED, GOOD FOR THEM! AND IF THEY FAIL… WELL, BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME. WE WILL COME BACK EACH WEEK TO SEE ON WHO GOES NEXT UNTIL ALL HAVE HAD THEIR TURN.".
This brought disbelief to the various bad guys and girls, and it showed on their faces. HIM's plan reminded them of some TV reality show series, but at least if they fail, it would not turn out that bad. At least they hoped not…
The cup was passed around until each took a straw, HIM telling all of them uncover the wrappings… and surprisingly it was the Amoeba Boys that got the black straw!
Julie exclaimed in disbelief, "I don't believe it! Those clowns get to go first! It's not fair!".
Ace added in, "Yeah! Those blobby bozos couldn't come up with a decent plan if their lives depended on it!". It was true, as even to this day, the trio of larger-than-normal living microbes had not had a decent plan of ANY kind to get rid of the PPG or Maria. In fact, the trio had a bizarre kind of friendship with the four as Maria once gave them some apples as a friendship present!
The only thing they had going for them was that any kind of significant act was by pure accident, like the time when they got a cold & spread it all over the town and instantly got the citizens severely sick. Or when they were able to divide themselves almost infinitely.
The trio looked down heartened at the words coming from the group, but they were all silenced when HIM cleared his throat. The demon looked to all and stated, "NOW, NOW. IT WAS ALL DONE FAIR AND SQUARE, SO YOU ALL WILL TO JUST WAIT AND SEE WHAT THEY DO. WHEN NEXT WEEK COMES, YOU'LL GET YOUR CHANCE. SO… AM I BEING CLEAR HERE?". When he used the scary and deep voice/tone of his, everyone knew that he was serious. Seeing them nod their heads rapidly, HIM simply smiled and leaned back in his chair.
All the villains/villainesses could do was grumble and hope that the Amoeba Boys would fail quickly so that they could have their turn. Said trio were very happy that they had some support on their side. With everything settled, HIM sent the mortals back to their realm. When all were gone, he turned his throne around to look at the large screen TV that was behind him.
The Fluffy Bunch were instantly by his side, Cholera looking at her master and asking eagerly, "Hey Boss, do you think we can have a turn at causing mayhem and chaos soon in the mortal world?".
HIM merely chuckled and answered, "OF COURSE, LITTLE BUNNY. YOU ALL WILL GET YOUR CHANCE TO HAVE A HAND, OR PAW IN THIS CASE, AT THIS. BUT FOR NOW… LET'S SEE WHAT THE OTHERS CAN DO. HEHEHEHEHE…".
For the demon, all of those fools he sent back were mere playthings. Toys that amused him to no end, and when the time came… he would enjoy tormenting them for ALL eternity! The very thought made him laugh madly, his demonic pet minions mimicking him as the laughter echoed throughout the realm of Hell!
~At Clockwork's realm~
At the very realm where time was everything, the semi-immortal known as Clockwork was looking at two large spheres. The one on his left showed what was happening in the regular universe, the one on the right showcasing the action that was happening in the anthro universe. He had company with him, three of the one-eyed alien-like lifeforms known as the Observants. Like their namesake, they observed the many goings of the universe but could not interfere. They left that to Clockwork, but the spirit was quite clever in acting on his own so it would serve his purpose. NOT that of the Observants.
One of said beings inquired in a mocking tone, "What is your game now Clockwork? You allowing this to happen instead of stepping in to prevent Maria and the PPG from being taken, that is NOT part of our plans!".
Clockwork turned to the floating constructs and stated firmly, "You all seem to forget your places and your duties. Yours is to merely observe and evaluate, while mine is to make sure the timeline is to remain balanced. You MAY come in to advise me… but remember that I take my orders from the CHIEF CORNERSTONE.". He said the last part with firmness like forged steel, the Observants flinching.
They all knew whom Clockwork was talking about, and not any of them would want to go up against Him.
The aging back-and-forth specter continued, "The King of Kings has plans for Maria, the PPG, young Danny and more. You all should know that His plans exceeds and are better for the long run than any kind of scheme that mortals, be they good or bad, have.".
The Observants knew for a fact that this was true, but they were still stumped on why this was happening. Clockwork saw their confusion, smirked and stated, "Even though you claim to be above mortals, you still think like them. You cannot comprehend why God has allowed this to happen. You will just have to see and observe. Heh, for once you do what you were made to do.". He said the last part in a mocking voice, which made the one-eyed beings fuming.
They soon left in a huff, Clockwork smirking as he was still able to get under the ectoplasmic skin of the meddling fools. He looked towards the audience and spoke, "As for all of you, you will have to wait and see what happens next. But I will say this; have faith.".
~Outro; credits & song Somewhere Out There~
The music plays as the screen is black, then shows a scene where a bedroom was at. The credits rolled upwards from the right side of the screen, going from the bottom all the way to the top. It was a simple bedroom with a dresser and old-school TV set. On the bed, covered in a large blanket, are Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup. They are in their anthro forms, snuggled together cutely as they are asleep in their new pajamas. The camera focuses on them for some moments, than slowly pans to the right to show someone looking out a window. Said window showed that it was nighttime, the stars shining brightly in the sky.
The being sitting near the window on a stool was Maria in her anthro kat form, also in some new pajamas as well. As the song lyrics came up, the camera slowly transitioned to show the face of Maria. Her eyes showed longing and sadness, looking through the window. The scene changed so that everyone could see what she was seeing, which was MegaKat City. The lights of the city were aglow, showing much activity there. The city was shown for several moments, than panned upwards towards the starry sky.
The camera changed to show Maria's face, a lone tear coming down her face.
The camera zoomed in slowly on her face for a few moments, than changed immediately to show the sky full of stars and a full moon.
After some moments, the camera switched and lowered down to show the house of the PPG. Three people could be seen from the middle window of the room on the top floor. The camera switched to show a close-up of the window, and it showed an older Danny Fenton on the left, Mrs. Alice Keane-Utonium in the middle and Mr. David Utonium on the right.
The camera showed David hugging Alice close, both showing extreme concern on their faces. Alice held her husband close, a tear slipping from their eyes as they showed they missed their daughters very much.
The camera than panned towards Danny, who was also looking worried as he looked at the moon. The camera soon changed to show said celestial object, and zooming into towards the silver orb. Soon, the face of Maria appeared in it but in her human form.
It soon changed back to show Danny, the scene now becoming wavy to indicate that something was taking place in an imagination realm. The scene becomes entirely black, than it shows Danny and Maria hugging each other lovingly and tightly. The scene stays like this for a few moments, than both images fade but the scene is still entirely black.
Appearing in a fade-in was Maria, who was still in her anthro form. She was still looking down, until someone appeared to wrap their arms around her. The camera showed that it was Danny, but in an anthro form as well! He had black fur, a white t-shirt on, blue jeans on & also a long black tail. He looked to be done in the body form of Jake. His tail wrapped and intertwined around Maria's own tail.
The two hugged one another lovingly, than something happened. The image appeared to shrink in size slightly, and appearing underneath it on the right-hand corner was Maria. It seemed that this was a night-dream sequence of sort. As Anthro-Maria appeared, so did Danny across from her. The image of him and Maria in her human form appeared above him, the two images directly opposite of one another.
The four images were shown like a formation of a square, in the middle as the moon as the credits rolled on by and finished up along with the song.
~End Outro~
(Author's Notes: And… cut! That is it for this chapter! I hope you all like this one!
Before I say or do anything else, I wish to give praise and honor to the Lord. Thank you God for helping me; not just with this story, but also in my personal life as well! You truly are the living and amazing God, and I am very thankful and grateful to you for everything! I will continue to look to you Jesus; for Truth, for strength, for conviction, for courage and for inspiration! I will continue to strive to be a better servant and soldier to you Jesus! Not a perfect one, as I am EXTREMELY far from it, but a better soldier and servant to you!
I will state this here and now, on a very serious note. It was tough for me to write the part where Maria got hurt and almost raped. I REALLY hated to write that part, as I believe firmly and truly that women ARE God's direct and wonderful blessings to us men! That they should be treated and loved right, true and real! Look to my Profile to see more on the subject. So writing about her getting hit and such was extremely tough for me.
But Dreams stated that it was needed, so I did my best in this area. I can only hope for the story to get better from here.
And also this; I believe that God does send visions and messages to us through dreams. That dreams are not just random memories and thoughts, but something much more deeper & real. Like how Daniel saw the fantastic dreams as described in the Bible, and I believe that many of them are coming true now.
I hope you all enjoyed the story, more to come soon! The mysterious girl will be revealed in a prequel that Dreams has planned out, but it will take a long while for it to even be made. Also, hoped you liked how I gave the origins about the Blood Blossoms. And to see more PPG artwork, check out Dreams's DeviantArt account.
Now for the questions! Ahem…
What would you do if you were with the PPG in their shared dream? What would your reaction be at seeing Heaven?
What would your thoughts be after seeing what occurred in Maria's past?
If you were in Maria's nightmare, what would you do?
If you joined the PPG when they left to go check on Maria, what would you do? What would you say to Maria?
If you were with HIM and the others, what would you say to any of the villains/villainesses there?
And finally, what would you say or do when the Amoeba Boys got the black straw?)
Optional Bonus Question: If you were with Clockwork, what would you say to the Observants about the situation?
R&R, no flames, enjoy and leave LONG reviews!
