Chapter Nine

Girls.
Bubbles, Buttercup and Bunny sat around a table taking turns
playing checkers to pass the time as Dexter busily searched his way
through the matrix prison database.
"I'm afraid we won't be able to get a map because there is no map to
be gotten. It's programmed in a way that only shows bits and pieces
of what the maps are made of without specifying which order they've
been coded to be located at." Dexter said with a sigh as he
scratched the back of his head.
"Are there any other options?" Bunny asked as she moved one of
her checkers pieces.
"There are, but | need to find the coding attached to our persons
before we can move forward." Dexter said turning toward Bunny
before standing up and walking to the turkey sandwich vending
button. "I need a snack."
"He's going to get tired of those things way faster if he keeps it up."
Bunny said only to look down with a face of terror as Buttercup triple
jumped three of her pieces. "How the crud...?"
"Art of warfare my dear." Buttercup said with a smirk.
"At least you're staying in the game longer than me." Bubbles said
humbly. "Most people can't beat Buttercup at checkers."
Dexter came back eating his sandwich like he hadn't eaten the
whole day. As Dexter sat down he began looking once again.
"Is there anything fun to do besides checkers?" Bubbles asked
looking bored.
"There is an endless crossword puzzle you can do, but that gets
boring fast too." Bunny said sighing.
"I'd rather dig a ditch than play another game of checkers." Whined
Bubbles.
"Come over here and help me then." Dexter said to Bubbles patting
a chair next to him.
Bubbles went over and sat by him, but gasped as she looked up at
the screen filled with nothing but coding.
"Do you see that?" Dexter said pointing at some coding. "That
particular section is the coding that says what you can and can not
do."
Bubbles looked where he was pointing to wishing she knew more
about what she was trying to read. In one line of coding he was
typing what looked like utter complete nonsense to her. He then
proceeded to search to edit a few more lines of coding after that and
opted to save.
"Try flying everyone." Dexter said as he stood from his seat and
began to fly around the room himself. 'Wow... so this is what it's like.’
Dexter thought only having flown in his dreams.
Bunny, Bubbles and Buttercup all began to fly without difficulties as
well.
"| coded things so everyone should have the same amount of
powers." Dexter said testing out his own punch.
"Do you think it'll give us a fair shot? There are four of them plus
Blossom." Buttercup said as she began looking like she was ready to
fight.
"| couldn't turn off Blossom's powers without the quartet noticing...
so yeah we're looking at a challenge." Dexter said as they started
Sparring. "The only option we'll have is to pick them off one at a time
together."
"It sounds underhanded, but | guess that's the only way we're going
to win." Buttercup said frowning slightly.
"It looks like we're as ready as we'll ever be. Let's go and hunt our
first target." Dexter said turning to Bunny. "So how do we get out of
here?"
"Follow me." Bunny said leading them up to a tunnel and outside.
Nothing seemed out of the ordinary when they looked around flying
up above a cloud, but there seemed to be an eerie silence that none
of them could seem to shake. They looked over to the castle which
now seemed more menacing than ever. Suddenly the buildings were
flattened to the ground like a sheet of paper and walls started to rise
all around them.
"OH MY GOD THEY KILLED ALL THEIR CITIZENS!" Bubbles
shreaked.
"Relax, those were probably just NPC's programmed to serve them."
Dexter explained calmly.
The walls rose around them leaving them inside a room with four
exits. Suddenly Mandark showed up on one of the walls laughing his
usual annoying laugh. Blossom sat rather stiffly on his lap as if she
were a giant action figure. Mojo Jojo sat in the background typing on
a laptop.
"Ah hahaha, AH HA HA HA HAAA! You foolish fools! Do you think
programming a few useless powers will stop us from getting the
perfect formula for our perfect race?" Mandark said menacingly.
"The idea of a ‘perfect race’ is sickening. You're no better than Adolf
Hitler!" Dexter said frowning deeply and looking disgusted as
Mandark wrapped his hands around Blossom's waist pulling her
closer.
"YOU GET YOUR CRUMMY ASS NERD HANDS OFF MY SISTER!"
Buttercup yelled glaring at Mandark. "No offense Dexter."
"None taken." Dexter said frowning in deep disgust.
"What have you done to our sister?" Bubbles said more calmly, but
equally as angry.
"Oh, the question you should really be asking is what haven't |
done?" Mandark said smirking as he dug his nose deep into
Blossom's hair, smelling it deeply.
"I'm not surprised you would stoop so low Mandark... after all no one
with a free will would want someone like you." Bunny said smirking.
"Oh, it's you." Mandark said coldly to Bunny. "I didn't see you since
you're always hiding in holes and never facing the situations you're
dealt with."
"I'll admit hiding like a coward isn't honorable, but using people like
tools is far worse." Bunny retorted.
Smirking maliciously Mandark began sliding his hand up and down
Blossom's thigh, close the her skirt making them all feel more
uncomfortable and sickened.
"| may use people, but | get what | want and | want you all dead. If
you don't make it out of that maze in the next hour to the castle all
the rooms will shrink down until your bodies implode... and then
you'll be dead of coarse." Mandark said smirking evilly.
"Why didn't you just kill us off quickly when you had the chance
instead of playing these stupid games with us?" Dexter asked
annoyed.
"Why not? Me and my companions love seeing you idiots suffer."
Mandark chuckled beaming with a type of glee that you might see on
a rabid dog. Mojo however looked quite stressed and scared for his
life typing even more quickly.
Taking a deep breath Dexter turned to the Powerpuffs looking them
all in the eyes. They had a look of terror and sadness on their faces
Dexter only knew too well.
"We can save them..." Dexter said keeping his voice soft and loving.
"... But the only way that will happen is if we save ourselves. Let's go
solve this maze."
They nodded and Bubbles flew to him hugging him tightly. Dexter
responded by hugging her back tightly, kissing her deeply and
lovingly. The sight of this was visually making Mandark angry as his
face was turning as red as the sun. He turned his screen off and
there was nothing left, but a confusing maze that looked similar to a
Rubix cube.
"Okay, the only way out of this is with speed and logic. If we
remember the general location of the castle we'll at least stand a
chance." Dexter said looking deeply in thought. "We were facing the
castle all along so we'll want to go into the door on the wall Mandark
was just on."
The others nodded and followed him several rooms forward. By the
twentieth room Dexter stopped in midair and held his hand out for
them to stop.
"Now we need to find a way down. | think any further and we'll pass
it." Dexter said looking for a door in the floor.
"How can we go down without a door?" Buttercup said landing on
the bottom of the room and then stomping one of her feet up and
down.
"Duh you guys!" Bubbles said as she started using her laser vision to
cut a hole in the floor.
"Why was | not the first to think of that?" Dexter said face palming.
"Don't worry, you're not really that familiar with our powers so how
could you know?" Bubbles said a they turned and started burning
their way through room after room.
After about thirty rooms Dexter stopped them once again.
"| think we need to start moving forward once again." Dexter said
nervously looking at how small the rooms had gotten. "We have to
speed up even more if we're going to have any shot of getting out of
here."
"Yeah... | like you guys and all, but | need my personal space."
Bunny said looking around nervously as well.
Going forward once more they eventually reached a brick wall. The
rooms were now as big as broom closets making it impossible for
them to all fit in one room comfortably.
"Can we break through the wall?" Bunny asked nervously as she
watched the walls close in another inch.
"Let's see." Buttercup said heating the wall with her laser vision and
then punching the wall only to have a bruised, burnt hand. "DAMN
IT! | HATE THAT!"
"It's just like | feared. We're going to have to try and find a door or
window." Dexter said frowning. "We'll just have to keep going right
until we find something."
They all nodded in agreement and started going right. The doorways
were so small by then that they had to use their laser vision to get
through. A small, circular window came into vision and Dexter didn't
hesitate to kick it in before he started pulling the Powerpuffs in with
him. The room behind them almost instantly shrank to the size ofa
shoe box as Bubbles entered the room last. Looking back they all
looked horrified and relieved at the same time. Dexter sat down on
the floor to catch his breath. He could feel the adrenaline still
pumping in his veins.
"What type of room is this?" Bunny asked as she looked around only
to see a kung fu fighting ring made of cement.
The floor was covered in a deep, dark red that could only be
compared to a rose. On the walls were shelves upon shelves of
delicate looking china plates, cups and other dishes. Dexter looked
up and raised an eye brow.
"Well from the looks of it we're in a tournament room for kung fu
fighters." Dexter said standing up and straightening his glasses to
get a better look. "What is this doing here though?"
"It does seem a tad out of place doesn't it?"Bunny said walking up to
and around it.
Just then Mojo Jojo entered the room in a karate uniform tightening
his belt. Looking over and seeing them he raised an eye brow.
"How the hell did you miserable brats get into my training facilities
which is to say how did you get into the area which | use to make
myself stronger in hand to hand combat?" Mojo asked looking rather
annoyed.
"Through your window." Buttercup said pointing to the broken
window.
"Didn't your parents ever teach you it's rude to break other people's
property that is to say you should not cause damage to items and
things that do not belong to you?" Mojo said shaking a finger at
them.
"Excuse me sir..." Dexter said walking up to him."But if we hadn't
broken through the window in question we would have surely ended
up as a pile of mashed human flesh and bone."
"That is not my problem." Mojo said grumpily. "You should have
known better than to challenge the quartet anyways. By challenging
us as a whole you've also made me your enemy." Mojo then
proceeded to jump into the ring. "You can only proceed forward after
you kill me."
"Mojo, you're bad but we're not going to kill you." Bubbles said as
she sat cross legged on the floor.
Mojo glared as Dexter and the other two Powerpuffs followed suit.
"Do you want to die that is to say do you want to lose your pathetic
lives? I'll kill you and by that | will end your pathetic lives!" Mojo said
as his eyes grew watery and red.
"No one wants to die." Bunny said. "I saw you in the background last
time Mandark was threatening us. You're not his lacky are you?"
"Lam his lacky... and with the knowledge I've gained from him | will
defeat you Powerpuffs once and for all! THAT IS TO SAY YOU WILL
PAY FOR ALL THE TIMES YOU'VE MADE A FOOL OF ME! I WILL
NO LONGER BE YOUR SHADOW. | WAS CREATED THE SAME
WAY YOU BRATS WERE AND YET SOMEHOW I'M HATED AND
YOU'RE LOVED? THAT'S NOT RIGHT!" Mojo began yelling and
screaming in inaudible monkey sounds.
"You could be loved too Mojo, but you destroy every damn thing you
touch and only put technology to use to destroy even more stuff."
Buttercup spat at Mojo. "People hate you because you're usually
causing all types of inconveniences for everyone on purpose."
"BUT THAT'S WHY | DESTROY STUFF!" Mojo screamed his face
turning red as he began jumping up and down.
As Mojo was throwing his tantrum Dexter came up punching Mojo
hard in the jaw making him go unconscious.
"I'm sorry, but we can't grant your death wish." Dexter said laying him
on the floor and checking his pulse getting a good look at him. "He
looks like he's been under a lot of stress for a very long time."
"That's not surprising." Bubbles said coming up beside Dexter.
"Every time we usually see him he's always an angry mess."
"That's not healthy." Dexter said shaking his head. "This may sound
like a strange question, but has he ever went to see a therapist
about his anger issues?"
"No, we've always put him in jail for destroying the buildings."
Bubbles answered with a slightly guilty tone.
"Hmm... let's not take him to jail this time." Dexter said picking up the
unconscious primate putting him gently over his shoulder. "I have a
better idea that could help both him and the town."
The Powerpuffs all exchanged weary glances at this.
"Don't worry, | Know what I'm doing." Dexter said giving thema
thumbs up.
Leaving the room they found themselves in a long chilly hallway filled
with paintings of Princess. The only things giving off any light were
dozens of torches on the stone walls. There was an evil presence
that could be felt everywhere. A bright light could be seen at the end
of the hall which they headed straight for. The room they came into
was not like any room they had ever seen. Instead of a floor there
was a field of grass. Neat lines of fruit trees could be seen going for
miles. In the distance they could make out a few people having a
picnic.
"We should probably keep our distance everyone." Dexter said
squinting his eyes to see better. "We can't be sure if they're friends
or foes."
"But we need to communicate with someone to get out of here."
Buttercup said in a slightly annoyed tone.
"If they're our enemy they will do everything in their power to stop us
from getting out." Dexter said patiently as he went over and started
picking a strange, purple colored apple.
"Speaking of stopping us from getting out, how do you know that fruit
your picking isn't poison?" Buttercup said flying and grabbing it from
Dexter's hand.
"That's nonsense, why would they keep poisonous plants in the royal
castle?" Dexter said as he picked another one and sniffed it out of
Curiosity.
"It could be for security purposes." Buttercup said taking a bite
before she looked at the apple with surprise and scarfed the rest of it
down.
Dexter took a cautious bite and gasped in shock at the flood of
flavors the one fruit contained. It was like someone took all the fruits
that ever existed and shoved them all into the same place. It was like
a volcano of tart and sweet flavors in his mouth. Suddenly the people
from the picnic became aware of their presence and were flying up
to them. Upon closer inspection it was Him and Princess.
"Who the hell gave you permission to eat my fruit?" Princess said
arrogantly. "You should throw it up NOW!"
Buttercup just smirked and picked another, taking a huge bite out of
it.
"Make us your royal pain in the highness." Buttercup said wiping her
mouth with the back of her hand.
At this Princess’ face turned red with anger and she jumped up and
down.
"NO ONE INSULTS PRINCESS MORBUCKS NO ONE AND I'LL BE
DAMNED IF YOU GET TO DIGEST MY FRUIT!" Princess yelled as
Him snickered, but then stopped as Princess turned to him. "What's
so funny? You're supposed to be on my team!"
"Oh, it's not you Princess. Mandark had a plan to kill these worms
eating your apples, but it looks like he failed." Him pointed out
snaking his way around Princess’ shoulder. "You should make him
take responsibility, but I'll pick up his slack."
"That's good to hear... NOW GO KILL THEM! KILL THEM KILL
THEM!" Princess said still angry.
"Do | have to kill them right away though? Can't | just toy with them?"
Him said turning into one of the apples.
"Good grief that's the reason they always beat you!" Princess said
face palming.
"Hmm, speaking of getting beaten why are you carrying Mojo over
your shoulder?" Him said to Dexter getting uncomfortably close to
him.
"It's none of your damn business and that's all you need to know."
Dexter said looking irritated.
"That's not a nice thing to say." Him said getting so close his face
was a mere inch from Dexter's.
"Well you're a very gross person." Dexter said wrinkling his nose at
the smell of death and sulfur.
"You won't be saying that in Hell will you?" Him said smiling very
wickedly. "This is my domain you have entered. You've all foolishly
taken part of the fruit that wasn't meant for you so you're trapped
here until you kill me or you die."
At this point Dexter could feel everyone's eyes on him and he wasn't
sure what to do. The colorful grass began turning into burned,
charred rock and the trees were transforming into thorny bushes.
The sun turned into a blood red moon and showers of stars soon
started to crash into the ground exposing molten lava.
"Oh my God!" Buttercup screamed as she narrowly missed one of
the falling stars.
Flying for the exit they all tried to leave, but an invisible barrier
stopped them in their tracks. Dexter threw Mojo into the hallway
since he hadn't eaten any of the fruit and turned to face Him and
Princess for the fight he would have to face for his friends and for his
life.
