(Open POV)
Townsville…
There is the city skyline at night.
"The city of Townsville…" The narrator said.
Outside Townsville Bank…
Its front window smashed. An alarm is heard. As the Narrator continues, three robbers run out, jump into a convertible, and speed off.
"...where we can be confident in the security that we will be kept safe from crime, thanks to...the Powerpuff Girls!" The narrator said.
At the end of this line, the girls close in. Buttercup hoists the getaway car into the air and flips it upside down, dumping them out. She throws it aside and charges at them; they brandish a chain, club, and gun, but are no match for her. Blossom and Bubbles watch as she goes to work, hitting two of them and twisting the third and smallest like a top. When she lets go of him, he unwinds and she drills him with a flurry of kicks. She then grabs him by the head, stopping his upper body from spinning, and his legs whirl like helicopter blades. He is picked up and used against one of the other robbers like a high-speed flail.
Buttercup throws the smallest man into the air and pounds on the other two. The other girls sit on the fender of the upturned car, watching, and Bubbles files her nails while doing so. When the airborne robber comes down, Buttercup kicks him into the heads of the others.
Outside Townsville Jail…
The airborne robber sails through a window of the Townsville Jail. Buttercup then picks up the other two, swings them in a circle, and knocks them into the prison as well.
Townsville Jail…
The three robbers cry in their cell. Blossom and Bubbles cheer Buttercup's efforts.
"Ah, yes." The narrator said.
Outside Utonium Residence…
The girls fly in through the front door.
"That Buttercup sure can kick some tail." The narrator said, happily.
Night fades into morning, and the buzzing of the hotline is heard.
(Jared's POV)
Kirito and Asuna's home…
"Yuuki. I know." I said, looking at Yuuki and drinking some tea. "I'm safe and having fun with the Powerpuff Girls."
"You're really having fun with them?" Yuuki asked, snacking on some cake. "What episode are you on?"
"'Cover Up'. The one where Buttercup uses her blanket to prove that she is a great fighter."
"That one?" Yuuki asked, giggling. "She doesn't need that blanket. That's what Blossom said."
"Well, yeah. But I know Buttercup does. Buttercup will find out that the blanket Blossom will give her is a fake. What should I do then?"
"You should…" Yuuki said, while I can hear the hotline ringing coming out of the bedroom phone in the girls' room. "Is that the Mayor?"
"Yeah. But I want to stay and continue chatting with you." I said, looking at Yuuki.
"We'll be here. Me, Asuna, and the rest of our friends. Now go on and have fun with the Powerpuff Girls."
"Thanks, Yuuki." I said, loading up the game menu and logging off of ALfheim Online. "See you later."
"Bye." Yuuki said, smiling.
Girls' bedroom…
I phased into the girls' bedroom to see the hotline receiver being picked up. The Mayor's voice is heard indistinctly over the line. Blossom is on the phone.
"A monster?" Blossom asked, and Bubbles is next to her. "We're there!"
Bubbles flies away, and Blossom hangs up and follows her.
"Let's go, Buttercup! We've got a call!" Blossom yelled, calling behind her.
Blossom and Bubbles continue flying across the bedroom for several seconds, then stop.
"Where is she?" Blossom asked.
Closet…
I phased through the door to see Buttercup doing her mantra and I'm smiling at her.
"I am a good fighter." Buttercup said, her eyes closed, and she was stroking her blanket. "I am a good fighter."
The closet has its door closed. Blossom and Bubbles call to Buttercup - first from far away, then as they float by the door.
"Buttercup." I said, becoming visible to Buttercup, as a ghost. I quickly changed back into human and grabbed the green blanket from Buttercup and placed it inside my sling bag. "Blossom's at the door. Don't worry, it is safe with me."
"Thanks." Buttercup said, walking up to me for a hug. "Don't lose it, okay?"
"I won't. I promise."
(Open POV)
Girls' bedroom…
Blossom floats slowly over to grasp the knob, but is stopped when Buttercup bursts out, slamming the door behind her and barricading it with her body.
"Hi, girls!" Buttercup said, laughing nervously. "Uh, well, let's go!"
Townsville…
There is a screaming, terrified crowd in the street. A robotic monster towers above them; around it, the city is in flames. The beast has one eye, claws at the end of its arms, and a long, flexible neck - think a giant vacuum cleaner and you get the idea. It roars, sounding as if it could use a little oil, and spits an energy beam at a building. All that is left after it hits is a charred hole in the ground. Another building has its middle section blasted; the upper floors collapse as well, and the monster roars again.
The girls close in, with Buttercup leading the charge. She pounds the enemy mercilessly; again, her sisters watch, reclining in midair to make themselves comfortable. She lands a series of kicks to the midsection, working her way up, then delivers a final devastating kick that reduces the monster to scrap metal. The explosion is seen in slow motion.
Sky…
The girls are in flight. Buttercup looks quite proud of herself.
"All right, Buttercup!" Blossom said, excitedly.
The girls are still flying away.
"Yeah! You rock!" Bubbles cheered.
(Jared's POV)
Kirito and Asuna's home…
"A robotic monster with a long neck like a vacuum cleaner?" Yuuki asked, looking at me. "Is that a thing?"
"It's Townsville." I said, eating a slice of cake. "We're talking about a town where everyone is scared of HIM. And that manipulative person is the Devil."
"You're not wrong." Yuuki said, sipping her cup of tea. "What I said yesterday. About what you should do with Buttercup's blanket. What about giving Buttercup a fake?"
"Give her a fake? Wouldn't she fall for it?"
"At first." Yuuki said, smiling. "We watched this adventure together with our friends. We know how it ends."
"But what about her real blanket?"
"You wash it. Then place it on the clean clothes pile."
(Open POV)
Outside Utonium Residence…
It is morning, the hotline is heard buzzing, and the receiver is picked up.
"Hello?" Blossom asked, from inside the house.
Girls bedroom…
Blossom is at the hotline, with Bubbles beside her.
"We're on our way, Mayor!" Blossom said, determined.
Blossom and Bubbles moved away from the phone and they went into flight mode. After a few seconds of flying across the bedroom, Blossom and Bubbles stop.
"Now where's Buttercup?" Blossom asked, irritated.
A crash shakes the room as the glare from an explosion outside plays over the girls. Looking out the window, they see the silhouette of a monster in the distance, with a cloud of smoke rising next to it from the blast it has just caused.
"There's no time to wait. Let's go!" Blossom said, annoyed.
Outside Utonium Residence…
Blossom and Bubbles they take off through the window.
Townsville….
A bug-eyed monster with serrated pincers for hands is at work. Its body is covered with horizontal stripes in various shades of green. It screams, sounding a bit strangled, and chops through a railroad track. The lead car of an oncoming train is cut loose and stuffed into the creature's mouth, and it starts chewing.
Blossom and Bubbles arrive and try to pull the railcar free, but without success. The monster reaches its pincers toward them.
"We need Buttercup!" Bubbles said, annoyed.
As if on cue, Buttercup flies in, then does a steep climb to silhouette herself against the sun after the fashion of Batman's emergency signal.
"Buttercup!" Bubbles said, relieved.
"It's about time!" Blossom said, impatiently.
"Sorry I'm late." Buttercup said, diving on the monster, ready to deliver a flying punch.
Buttercup connects with the back of the monster's head, and it spits the train car out. Now she grabs one of its arms and positions it so that the pincer will close on the other one. Flying around the back, Buttercup grabs the tail and lays it across the electrified third rail of the train tracks. The resulting shock causes the open pincer to snap shut, cutting off the other one; it falls to the ground, snapping and twitching. Buttercup picks this up and slices the monster neatly along the stripes with it. She is left with a head sitting atop a pile of slices and the tail and legs still attached to the bottom end. This latter runs off.
Blossom and Bubbles set the train car back on the tracks as the people inside and on the ground cheer. Buttercup throws the severed pincer aside, and the three head back.
Sky…
The girls are in flight; Buttercup again has that look of pride on her face.
"Just in time, Buttercup?" Blossom asked, dryly.
"Yeah! Where were you?" Bubbles asked.
"Who cares? I may have been in ALO with Jared and his friends fighting bad guys in that virtual world. I showed up, didn't I?" Buttercup asked, flying away.
Blossom and Bubbles look at each other worriedly.
(Jared's POV)
Kirito and Asuna's home…
"And I managed to defeat the monster and saved the day as always!" Buttercup chirped.
"Of course you did!" Yuuki said, excitedly. "What's next?"
"Show that I am a great fighter."
"I know." I said, happily.
(Open POV)
Outside Utonium Residence…
Again, the Mayor's voice can be heard over the hotline.
Utonium Residence…
Blossom is taking the call.
"Be there in a sec, Mr. Mayor!" Blossom said, hanging up.
Bubbles is standing in the living room and waving. Blossom is looking at the couch and TV, then changes direction and goes past Bubbles to the front door. The fiery redhead is looking as if she is about to blow her top. The kettle is singing in her head. Finally, Blossom snaps and looks around for Buttercup.
"BUTTERCUP!!!" Blossom demanded, while Bubbles recoils slightly at the force of her yell. "Where is she every time there's a distress call?!"
Blossom and Bubbles fly down the hall, looking for Buttercup.
"Buttercup!" Blossom said, angrily.
"Hey! Buttercup!" Bubbles said, worried.
They reach the bathroom.
"Buttercup!" Blossom yelled.
They reach the study.
"Buttercup?" Bubbles asked.
Girls's bedroom…
Blossom and Bubbles enter the bedroom.
"Buttercup? Come on! We're gonna be too late!" Blossom said, annoyed.
They stop.
"Shhh! Listen!" Bubbles said, looking at the closet that has its door again closed.
A voice can be heard whispering inside. The two girls float towards the closet, cocking their heads to listen, and Blossom opens the door. Inside the doorway of the closet, Buttercup is sitting on the floor, cradling a green blanket and stroking it.
"I am a good fighter. I am a good fighter." Buttercup said, whispering.
A look of total shock comes over her sisters' faces. She looks up hastily, guilt was written all over her own, as the lights come on. She whips the blanket behind her back as they go inside.
"What are you doing?" Blossom asked.
"I was, uh...uh...just um, uh...practicing my spelling." Buttercup said, nervously.
"What's behind your back?" Bubbles asked, flying behind Buttercup.
Buttercup moves the blanket in front of her, "Nothing."
"Come on! Show us!" Blossom yelled.
"No!" Buttercup said, flying away with the blanket, but the others are not far behind.
Blossom and Bubbles chase Buttercup all over the house until Bubbles finally grabs hold of her. Blossom takes the blanket away and looks at it, puzzled.
"Huh? What's this for?" Blossom asked.
Buttercup struggles and breaks free of Bubbles' hold, "It's my blanket! It gives me the strength to be a great fighter!"
Blossom and Bubbles giggle at this.
"What? What's so funny?" Buttercup asked, angrily.
"That's ridiculous. You don't need a stinky old blanket to fight!" Blossom said, looking at Buttercup.
Bubbles keeps giggling; Buttercup glares at her, then turns back to Blossom.
"Oh, yeah?" Buttercup asked, snatching the blanket back. "I'll show you!"
Townsville…
At the street, the house is visible in the distance. Buttercup takes off through the bedroom window, the others following.
"Well, it's about time, girls! Go get 'em!" The narrator cooed.
A monster's roar is heard nearby., then the sound of a few punches being landed and the cheer of a crowd.
Outside Utonium Residence…
Day fades into night, and the girls fly back into the house through the windows.
Utonium Residence…
Jared is in the living room, busy drinking some Baja Blast, knowing that the day is almost over. Along with this adventure overall.
"Buttercup." Jared said, watching Clannad on the TV. "You're doing some good with your blanket."
Girls' bedroom…
The Powerpuff Girls are about to go to sleep.
"Thanks for saving the day again, Buttercup." Bubbles said, happily.
"Yeah, you really rocked!" Blossom chirped.
"Yeah, well, like I said…" Buttercup said, pulling out her blanket. "...I owe it all to my blankie."
Utonium Residence…
Jared is fixated on the TV, enjoying Clannad, knowing how it ends afterwards.
"Of course you do." Jared said, smiling. "Your blanket does have to be washed though."
Outside Utonium Residence…
It is now the next morning. Once again, the Mayor is heard over the hotline.
Girls' bedroom…
Blossom is taking the call, with Bubbles next to her, "Mr. Mayor, we'll be there as soon as we can…"
The words are barely out of Blossom's mouth when an agonized scream is heard from Buttercup nearby. The rest of the bedroom has crashing and banging happening. Books, toys, and clothes have been flung randomly everywhere, the nightstands have been overturned, drawers stand open, and the bed is flipped up onto its side. The closet, from which more items are being thrown out, to the sound of Buttercup's shriek. Inside the closet, with the door pointing out at Buttercup, the tomboy's face registers total panic.
"Where is it?!" Buttercup exclaimed, flying out of the bedroom.
Utonium Residence…
Buttercup flies down the hall and through another door; the house shakes from an impact. Inside, the room has been ransacked.
"It's gotta be somewhere in this stupid house!" Buttercup said, worried.
Laundry room…
Buttercup flies to the laundry room and starts searching through a basket of clothes on the floor. Finding no blanket, she next looks in the kitchen. As Blossom and Bubbles float in, Buttercup starts sobbing and collapses face down on the empty fridge, pounding it in frustration and sadness.
"WHERE'S MY BLANKET?!" Buttercup exclaimed, while she collapsed again.
"We don't have time for this, Buttercup." Bubbles said, as she and Blossom pulled Buttercup up, when another tear escaped the tomboy's eye.
Buttercup's sobbing has accumulated a puddle in the fridge.
"Townsville is in trouble!" Blossom said, terrified.
Blossom and Bubbles lead Buttercup away.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Buttercup said, losing it completely. "I NEED MY BLANKET!!!"
Townsville…
There is a group of trashed, burning buildings; a siren wails in the background. A reptilian beast, looking something like a cross between King Kong and a largemouth bass, looms up into view of the girls. Gibbering and drooling, it looks around as if trying to decide what to attack next. The girls fly in and assess the situation. The monster is standing on top of a trash can - it is only slightly bigger than the girls - and a crowd of screaming people around it.
"That's a monster?" Buttercup asked.
"See? You really don't need your blanket now." Blossom said, smirking.
The monster takes a deep breath and roars, spitting out a beam that slices through a row of buildings. The city has a mushroom cloud goes up. The girls are enveloped in a cloud of dust and fall to the ground.
Buttercup is getting up, still in a weak emotional state because of the loss of her blanket, "Oooohh…"
Blossom and Bubbles fly up behind Buttercup.
"What am I gonna do?!" Buttercup exclaimed.
"You're gonna fight, like always. Come on!" Blossom said, taking Buttercup's hand and leads her into the fight, with Bubbles trailing them.
"Well, here goes nuthin'." Buttercup said, without fire.
Buttercup flies up to the monster and throws two weak hooks, which it dodges easily. It hauls off and lands three devastating punches, sending her flying. The other girls gasp in shock, and the beast inflates its lungs and spits another beam that hits her dead center. Buttercup is propelled across the pavement, touching down and bouncing up again like an airplane landing on the runway. Finally, she skids to a stop.
"I'll be right back!" Blossom said, taking off and flying away.
The monster approaches Buttercup from behind as she struggles to lift her head from the pavement. Buttercup turns over and finds herself in its shadow, and she holds up one arm to protect her face.
"Nooo…" Buttercup said, weakly.
The monster is ready to do its worst to the helpless Buttercup and with foam dripping from its jaws. It is standing over Buttercup. Blossom lands between them.
"Back off, Shrimpy!" Blossom said, pulling out the blanket. "It's beddy-bye time!"
Buttercup is instantly revitalized. She seizes the blanket and cuddles it, letting out a shuddering sigh of pleasure; Buttercup is rubbing the nap against her face with her old fighting spirit has returned, much to the surprise of the monster, who is caught off-guard by this sudden burst of ferocious fighting spirit from Buttercup.
Buttercup hits the monster with a single uppercut and launches it down the block, then pulls ahead of it to deliver more punishment. Finally, she winds up, spinning her arm so fast that her fist starts to glow from friction with the air, and again knocks the beast down the street, a split-second glimpse of its face showing it a battered and bruised mess after getting the tables turned on it. It falls down.; a crash is heard, and another mushroom cloud rises to the sound of cheering.
Buttercup joins her sisters on the ground, in the middle of a celebrating crowd. She picks up the blanket and waves to them. Again, she cradles it to her face.
(Jared's POV)
Girls' bedroom…
Buttercup is in her nightgown and sitting up in bed, still cuddling the blanket. After some seconds, pull back to show the other girls, also dressed for sleep. Bubbles is playing with Octi, while Blossom sits on the end of the bed, reading a book in Chinese. She looks nervously back over her shoulder, with some irritation as well.
"Pretty awesome blanket, huh? And the fact that I kicked butt after I got it back proves its power." Buttercup said, smugly.
"Buttercup, I have to tell you something." Blossom said, groaning. "That's not your real blanket. It's just a fake blanket Jared gave me to get you through the fight. And since you fought just as well as ever, it obviously worked!"
"Yeah!" Bubbles cried.
Buttercup looks down at the decoy with great unease for some moments. Now she starts to boil over.
"You tricked me! And Jared helped you trick me! Why I'm gonna…" Buttercup said, cutting herself off, then continues nervously. "But...if this isn't my real blanket, then...where…" She looks around with realization. "…ooh!"
Buttercup lets loose another tortured scream and starts tearing through a chest of drawers in the corner. Next, she searches the kitchen and laundry room again. She ends by throwing herself on the bed in front of Blossom and Bubbles, crying and pounding the mattress. The other two stare at her blankly.
"WHERE'S MY BLANKET?!" Buttercup exclaimed, and she continues crying.
"Oh, hello, girls." The Professor said, and he is at the door, with me and a basket of clothes. "Jared and I brought you some clean laundry."
"Yup. I had to wash your blanket, Buttercup." I said, happily. "I know how much you love it smelling like apples."
"You washed it?" Buttercup asked, lifting her head and looks behind her, and her face brightened. "When?"
"This morning." I said, smiling. "It smelled so good."
With the basket; Buttercup's blanket is on top of the pile. Buttercup zips across the room and grabs the blanket.
"Oh, thank you, Jared. Oh, blankie, I love you, I love you, I love you, I…" Buttercup said, hugging the blanket, and she cuts herself off and looks over her shoulder, grinning nervously.
Bubbles and Blossom watch Buttercup from the bed, their arms folded and enraged. Buttercup hangs her head and lets the blanket drag the ground.
Buttercup is sighing softly in defeat.
"Here, Professor, Jared." Buttercup said, holding up her blanket and picking up the decoy blanket and handing them to the Professor and I. "The two of you can have these."
"Why, thank you, Buttercup!" The Professor said, taking the blanket that doesn't smell like apples. "Thanks to this baby, I've just completed my greatest experiment ever!"
"And I managed to beat a boss in 'The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy'!" I said, taking the blanket that smells like apples. "It was so hard. I lost a couple times, till I actually got it."
The Professor spoke softly, cradling his blanket to his face, "I am a good scientist. I am a good scientist. I am a good scientist."
I then spoke softly, cradling my blanket to my face, "I am a good fighter. I am a good fighter. I am a good fighter."
The girls giggle at the sight.
The Professor and I continue repeating the mantras under the Narrator's next line.
"Oh, Professor, you superstitious kook! And oh, Jared, you sentimental old fool!" The narrator said, laughing.
(Open POV)
The standard end shot comes up.
"And so once again the day is saved, thanks to the Powerpuff Girls!" The narrator said, softly. "I am a good narrator. I am a good narrator. I am a good narrator. I am a good narrator. I am a good narrator."
The End.
