Note: This fanfic was written in the year 2000.  Events in season five regarding the return of the RRBs may conflict with the events in this story.  Character personalities of the RRBs will be different.

Narrator: The city of Townsville...location of the First Annual Symposium on ... CHEMICAL X.  And who better to lead off than the world's foremost expert on chemical x than Townsville's own Professor Utonium!

Professor Utonium is giving a presentation.  There are slides being shown that accompany his speech.

Professor: Greetings fellow scientists.  As you all know, the mysterious substance we call chemical x is one of the most powerful, yet unstable materials in the galaxy.

The camera pulls back off the Professor as he continues his speech; his voice begins to trail off as the camera moves further away.  The shot pulls back until we see HIM observing the proceedings from his home.

HIM: Chemical x.  All of my evil plans…all of my sinister deeds…all foiled because of chemical x.  But now…I will use that which has defeated me so many times in the past to achieve my ultimate victory!  I will fight fire with fire!  Bwahahahahahahahaha!
   
Narrator: Oh no!  What does that fiend have in store for our girls!

Scene switches back to the seminar.  The camera pans through the audience as the Professor gives his speech.  The audience is comprised entirely of scientists in white lab coats.  We pass one that suspiciously looks like MoJo JoJo in disguise.  We hear the Professor continue with his presentation.

Professor: ...and when chemical x was accidentally added, the reaction was so unstable that it split into three pieces.  

The slide changes to show an explosion breaking into three pieces.

Professor: The result was, well, you know...

The slide changes to a picture of the PowerPuff Girls.

Professor: The PowerPuff Girls!

The entire audience applauds except for one short brooding scientist.

MoJo: Profess...

MoJo clears his throat to cover up the fact that he began speaking in his own voice.  He then continues in a disguised voice.

MoJo: Professor Utonium, is there any way to stabilize the reaction enough to create a single super being?

MoJo begins to slip back to his real voice.

MoJo: A being powerful enough to destroy the PowerPuff Girls once and for all!

Realizing he let that last part slip, he clears his throat and disguises his voice again.

MoJo: Oh, uh, I mean...in theory, of course...

Believing that MoJo is a reputable scientist, Professor Utonium answers the question without hesitation.

Professor: Well...I suppose if you had a nuclear powered laser and focused the beam through a highly refractive lens, it might be possible.  Of course, you would need a very large supply of chemical x.  Probably all of the chemical x in Townsville.

MoJo continues in the disguised voice.

MoJo: Fascinating! And where would I...err...someone get all of these items?
   
Professor: Hmmm... Well, the only place you could get plutonium would be from the army testing grounds right outside of Townsville.

We quickly change to a visual of the army testing grounds then back to the Professor.  From the visual shown, we can see that the testing grounds are heavily guarded.

Professor: And the only lens big enough and refractive enough would be the Faith diamond in the Townsville museum.

We quickly change to a visual of the Faith diamond then back to the Professor.  The diamond is protected by a ridiculous number of security devices and safeguards to prevent it from being stolen.

Professor: As far as chemical x, just about all of the chemical x in Townsville is right here at this convention.

Camera pans back quickly to show the entire convention area then back to the Professor.

Professor: Hey, that reminds me, the only one with laser big enough is that evil villain MoJo JoJo!

MoJo begins to look nervous as he wonders if the Professor is beginning to recognize him through his disguise.

The Professor starts to grin as he responds.

Professor: But I doubt he would let you use it for your experiments.

The audience laughs.  MoJo takes a breath.  He's relieved he wasn't discovered.

MoJo: Phew!

The Professor grins even more as he continues.

Professor: And he's certainly not smart enough to do it himself!  Ahhahahahahaha!

The whole crowd bursts into laughter except, of course, for MoJo.  MoJo is humiliated and responds in a subdued monotone without even bothering to disguise his voice.

MoJo: Thank you Professor...that will be all.

MoJo quickly leaves the building as the rest of the audience continues to laugh out loud.  Once clear from the area, MoJo rips off his disguise and begins talking to himself.

MoJo: Those fools!  They do not realize they have given me the means to carry out my most diabolical plan ever!   My plan to eliminate PowerPuff Girls once and for all!  Yes!  Now that I have the information that I need, I will set my evil plan in motion and destroy the PowerPuff Girls!  Muhahahahahaha!

MoJo laughs evilly at his own handiwork.

MoJo: But wait!  I need materials for my plan to work!  Materials that are very difficult to obtain.  But only after I obtain these materials, which are very difficult to obtain, will I be able to execute my plan and destroy and the PowerPuff Girls once and for all!

Scene changes to PowerPuff Girls home.  Buttercup is teasing Bubbles.

Bubbles: Hey, give it back!
   
Buttercup: What, you mean this stupid picture?  It's not even a good one!
   
Bubbles: Gimme!

Bubbles reaches out her hands trying to grab her picture back.  Buttercup puts one hand on Bubbles' head holding her back while holding the picture in her other hand keeping it out of Bubbles' reach.

Buttercup: Awwww, what's the matter?  Does the baby want her drawing back?
   
Bubbles: I'm not a baby!  You're just a stupid bully!

Blossom enters.

Blossom: Are you two fighting again?  Buttercup, why do you always torment her?
   
Buttercup: She's just a big baby!  If she can't take a little kidding around, then maybe she shouldn't be a PowerPuff Girl!
   
Bubbles: I'm just as good of a PowerPuff Girl as you!

Bubbles crosses her arms, closes her eyes, and sticks her nose in the air.

Bubbles: You're just jealous that I can draw and you can't.
   
Buttercup: Say what?!
   
Bubbles: You heard me.  You only wish you were as creative as me.
   
Buttercup: All right, you asked for it!

Buttercup charges forward towards Bubbles.  Blossom cuts in between.

Blossom: Buttercup!  Cut it out!
   
Buttercup: Make me, boss-girl!

Buttercup shoves Blossom and sends her flying into a wall.  Bubbles bonks Buttercup on top of the head.  Buttercup grabs Bubbles' ponytails and tosses her in the air.  Blossom quickly recovers and flies top speed at Buttercup nailing her in the midsection.

Scene change to the inside of the house facing the front door.  Professor Utonium opens the door and walks in.

Professor: Girls, I'm home!

The Professor hears the girls fighting and goes upstairs to investigate.  He sticks his head in their room to find out what's going on.

Professor: Girls, I...

A lamp thrown by one of the girls hits Professor Utonium in the head.  He's knocked down and barely conscious. All three girls turn and shriek in horror.  Blossom rushes over to the Professor and lifts his head up.

Blossom: Professor!  Are you ok?
   
Professor: Uhhh....

Buttercup flies over.

Buttercup: This is all your fault Blossom!  If you hadn't stuck your nose in, like you always do, none of this would have happened!

Blossom turns to Buttercup to confront her.  She unintentionally drops the Professor's head on the floor.

Blossom: Me?!  You started it when you were picking on Bubbles, like you always do!

Bubbles sees that the Professor is hurt and neither of her sisters are helping.  Bubbles screams at the top of her lungs...

Bubbles: Will you two stop fighting and help the Professor!!!

Blossom and Buttercup realize they forgot about the Professor.  All three girls turn to help, but by this time, he begins to regain consciousness on his own.  The Professor is still groggy as he responds.

Professor: Girls, were you fighting again?

All three girls start explaining their sides of the story simultaneously.

In frustration, the Professor shouts...

Professor: Enough!

All three girls shut up.

Professor: Now one at a time!  What's going on here?
   
Bubbles: Buttercup grabbed my drawing, it was one of my favorite drawings, but she was mad because she can't draw as well as I can, so she took it and ran away with it...
   
Buttercup: I would have given it back if miss busybody over here (points at Blossom) would have given me the chance!  She's always telling everyone what to do!

All three PowerPuff Girls start arguing simultaneously again.

Professor: Girls please!

They stop arguing and look at the Professor.

Professor: I don't care who started it...

The Professor glares at Buttercup.

Professor: ...although I have a pretty good idea!

Buttercup crosses her arms, looks away, and scowls.

Professor: You're all superheroes, and that means you have to work together.
   
Blossom: But what if we just can't get along?!
   
Professor: You have to try your best to find a way.  The forces of evil always look for an opportunity to divide the forces of good.  You girls are strongest when you're working together, as a team.  Promise me that you'll try to work together instead of fighting with each other.

The PowerPuff Girls respond in unison, half-hearted.

PPGs: Okay, we promise.

Just then, the hotline flashes.  Blossom answers.

Blossom: Hello, Blossom here...what's that Mayor?  MoJo JoJo is robbing the Townsville Museum?  We're on our way!

The girls blast through the roof and rocket towards the Townsville Museum.  Scene change to MoJo JoJo blasting his ray gun inside the museum with the Faith diamond in his grasp.

MoJo: Muhahahaha!  Now all I need are two more items and I can carry out my plan!

The PowerPuff Girls burst into the museum through the roof.

Blossom: Not so fast MoJo JoJo!
   
MoJo: PowerPuffs!  I have anticipated your arrival.  Try this on for size!  Muhahaha!

MoJo attempts to blast the girls with his laser gun, but they move to quickly for him to get a bead on any of them.  Instead, all he accomplishes to do is inadvertently destroy a few million dollars of priceless artwork.  Buttercup and Bubbles touch down right next to a wall with a giant tapestry hanging on it.

Buttercup: Give it up MoJo!
   
Bubbles: Yeah, we're too fast for ya!
   
MoJo: Curses!

MoJo looks up at the top of the tapestry and gets an idea.  He blasts the top of the wall causing the tapestry to fall down on top of Buttercup and Bubbles momentarily trapping them.

Blossom: Oh no you don't!

Blossom rushes towards MoJo.  MoJo sees Blossom coming for him.  He spots a giant T-Rex skeleton with some innocent bystanders next to it.  He blasts the T-Rex with his ray gun.  Large pieces of the T-Rex skeleton begin to rain down on the people.

Blossom: Oh no!

Blossom breaks off her attack on MoJo to rescue the people.  Mojo tries to escape in the confusion.  Buttercup gets free from under the tapestry and spots MoJo running towards the exit.  She blasts off and tackles MoJo causing him to drop the diamond.  Bubbles gets free from the tapestry and notices the diamond going straight for a hole in the ground made by one of MoJo's previous blasts.  Bubbles takes off to get the diamond before it reaches the hole.  Buttercup grabs MoJo with one hand and flies straight up with him in her grasp.  As she flies up, she crosses paths with Bubbles.  Bubbles smacks into the back of Buttercup knocking MoJo free in the process.  MoJo takes this opportunity to escape without the diamond.

Buttercup: Darn it Bubbles!  You let MoJo get away!
   
Bubbles: Well he wouldn't have gotten away if you would just watch where you're going!

Buttercup and Bubbles turn their backs to each other.  Neither wants to look the other in the eye.  Blossom flies over.

Blossom: Come on you guys!  Don't you remember what the Professor said?  We gotta stick together no matter what.
   
Buttercup: Oh yeah?  Well I've had it!  I am so outta here!

Buttercup flies away.  Bubbles begins to get teary-eyed.

Bubbles: Why do we have to fight all the time?
   
Blossom: Don't worry Bubbles, she'll calm down.  We just have to try to get along, no matter how difficult it can be sometimes.

Scene change to MoJo's volcano lair.  MoJo enters.

MoJo: Curses!  Those meddling PowerPuff Girls have foiled my plans once again!

HIM appears and startles MoJo...

HIM: Your plan?  That's not the way I remember it.
   
MoJo: Master!
   
HIM: Ohhhh...let me guess...did the PowerPuff Girls stop you again?
   
MoJo: They are always in my way!  I need three very special items to complete my, uh, your plan to destroy the PowerPuff Girls once and for all, but I cannot get those items because the PowerPuff Girls will stop me before I can obtain those very special things that I need to complete your plan.  And if I don't get the items I need...

HIM interrupts MoJo mid-sentence.

HIM: You'd better!  I want those items, not excuses!
   
MoJo: Oh, uh, yes my master!  I shall redouble my efforts!
   
HIM: Dear Mojo...I'll leave you to your work.  Don't fail me again!

HIM departs.  Once HIM leaves, MoJo begins to contemplate how he can possibly get all three items without getting stopped by the PowerPuff Girls.

MoJo: This is impossible!  Three different locations for three different items that I need to complete my evil plan.  But how can I obtain these three items when there are only one of me and three places to go.  And even if I could break myself into three different MoJo JoJos, I would still be stopped by the three different PowerPuff Girls!

A montage of camera shots of MoJo repeating to himself, "Three...three...three..."  Finally, MoJo gets an idea.

MoJo: Aha!  There is a way!  It's my only chance.

MoJo starts rummaging madly through his laboratory looking for something.  Scattered about are items from previous episodes like the anubis dog head that transformed everyone into puppies, etc.  He finally finds what he was looking for.  His mood changes quickly to a more somber tone.  He gently picks up a flask and holds it up into the light and gazes on the contents of the flask.

MoJo: After all this time.  My greatest creation!  My greatest disappointment.

MoJo turns and begins walking back to the main part of his lab.  The camera pulls in to the label on the flask to reveal: "Remains of the RowdyRuff Boys".  Inside the flask can be seen snips, snails, and a puppy dog tail.  MoJo grabs another container filled with chemical x.

MoJo: This had better work.

MoJo looks at the container of chemical x.

MoJo: This is the all the chemical x I have left.

MoJo drops the contents of the flask into a big pot.  He then adds the chemical x.  MoJo just stands and watches.  For a few seconds, nothing happens; and then, BOOM!  MoJo is knocked clear across the lab and left on the floor in a very similar way as the Professor when the PowerPuff Girls were created.  MoJo quickly recovers from the blast and looks up.  There he sees the RowdyRuff Boys floating above the pot looking triumphant.  MoJo is overjoyed.

Brick: We're the RowdyRuff Boys and we're here to kick some butt!
   
MoJo: My boys!

The RowdyRuff Boys look at MoJo rather puzzled.  They seem to remember something of the last time they were created, but not enough to piece anything together.

Boomer: Dude, who is that?
   
Brick: I dunno, but he looks kind of familiar...
   
Butch: Yeah.
   
MoJo: It's me!  MoJo JoJo!  Don't you remember?

The RowdyRuff Boys concentrate harder in an attempt to remember.

Butch: I think so.  Are you our pet?

MoJo's face drops.

MoJo:

No!!!...Boys...I am your father!

The RowdyRuff Boys recoil in horror.

Brick shakes his head in disbelief.

Brick: No!...It isn't possible!
   
MoJo: Search your memories.  You know it to be true!
   
Boomer: No way man!  This is too freaky!
   
MoJo: I created you once before, but all three of you were destroyed by those meddling PowerPuff Girls!
   
Butch: You're lying!  No way some sissy girl destroyed me!
   
MoJo: Oh yes you were!  You all were!  That is why I need your help.  I need three very important items.  Very important items that will allow me...and all of you...to get revenge on those accursed PowerPuff Girls!
   
Brick: Yeah!  Let's do it!
   
Boomer: I'm with you MoJo!

Butch makes a fist and pounds it into his other hand.

Butch: Those girls are toast!
   
MoJo: Excellent!  Take these!

MoJo hands the RowdyRuff Boys each a communication device.  The device is a headset with small red visor that fits in front of the left eye.  The RowdyRuff Boys put them on.  

MoJo points to Brick.

MoJo: You get the diamond. 

MoJo points to Butch.

MoJo: You get the plutonium.

MoJo points to Boomer.

MoJo: And you get the chemical x.

MoJo then addresses all of the RowdyRuff Boys.

MoJo: And remember, if you run into the PowerPuff Girls...

Brick interrupts MoJo.

Brick: We're gonna smash 'em into oblivion!
   
MoJo: No!  Just get back here with the items!  Do not engage them in combat!

The RowdyRuff Boys all frown at MoJo's lack of confidence in them.

MoJo: Once you three return with the items I have requested, we shall destroy the PowerPuff Girls once and for all!
   
RowdyRuff Boys: Yeah!

The RowdyRuff Boys fly through the roof and break off into three different directions.

Scene changes back to PowerPuff Girls room.  Blossom and Bubbles are just returning from the museum.

Blossom: I can't believe she just ran off like that.
   
Bubbles: Yeah.  I mean it wasn't my fault MoJo got away.
   
Blossom: Well, technically, he wouldn't have gotten away if you didn't bump into Buttercup.

Bubbles is annoyed at Blossom for inferring she's the reason why MoJo escaped.

Bubbles: I didn't bump into her!  She flew right in front of me!
   
Blossom: Oh what's the difference.  The point is she's not back.

 Just then, the hotline rings.  Blossom answers.

Blossom: Blossom here.  What's that Mayor?...The museum again?!...The conference center?...The army base too?!...How is that possible?...Don't worry mayor, we're on our way!

Blossom hangs up the hotline and turns to Bubbles.

Blossom: The Townsville museum, conference center and army base are under attack!
   
Bubbles: By who?
   
Blossom: I don't know, but we've got to find out.  You go to the conference center.  I'll go back to the museum.  Hopefully the army base can hold out until we're done.  I just wish Buttercup were here!  Let's go!

Blossom and Bubbles fly through the roof and split off to their respective destinations.

Scene changes to Brick smashing through the museum looking for the diamond.  He finally spots it under a thick clear encasement surrounded by steel bars, which are in turn surrounded by barbed wire.  He uses his laser vision to zap the obstructions.  He takes the diamond, sticks it in his pocket and flies off.

Scene changes to Boomer filling a rather sizeable container full of chemical x.  He grabs the container, puts it in his oversized backpack and flies off.

Scene changes to army base.  Butch is having fun blowing up the tanks sent out to try to stop him.  All along the side of the base are huge anti-aircraft guns like the ones you'd see on a battleship.  They open fire at Butch, but he is able to dodge their fire.  One of the giant gun blasts hits him and sends him sailing into the side of a tank.  The tank is demolished from the impact of Butch's body.  Butch is a little dazed at first, but he quickly recovers.  He becomes angry.  He bolts straight for the anti-aircraft guns and starts smashing them one by one.  He bends the barrel of one of the guns causing it to backfire back into itself.  Butch spots the main door.  It's heavily shielded.  Butch pounds on the door until he gets through.  A few moments later he emerges with a small lead container with the words "RADIOACTIVE" and "PLUTONIUM" on the side.

Scene changes to Blossom flying towards the museum.  She spots something flying towards her, but can't make it out at first.  She stops dead in the air and strains a look.  Camera changes to Brick flying from the opposite direction.  He also soon realizes that there is something in front of him in the distance.  As he flies closer, he too tries to make out what it is.  Brick comes within 50 yards of Blossom and stops dead in the air staring straight at Blossom.  At this distance, Blossom realizes who it is.

Blossom: Oh my gosh!  It can't be!

Scene changes to Bubbles and Boomer in a similar situation.  They both notice each other in the air and stop dead in their tracks about 50 yards from each other.

Bubbles: What?!  What's he doing here?

Scene changes to Buttercup flying very slowly in the air with her eyes down and a scowl on her face.  She's brooding over the events of the day, feeling sorry for herself.

Buttercup: (muttering to herself) Lousy Bubbles getting in my way...(mockingly) "Ooooh, I'm Blossom, and I'm perfect.  I never make any mistakes."...stupid coloring book...I can draw as good as her...I don't need them...I don't need anybody...

Buttercup looks up and sees something flying straight at her.  Camera shifts to Butch.  He notices something in front of him too.  He gets about 50 yards of Buttercup and stops dead in his tracks.

Scene changes back to Blossom and Brick.  Brick is motionless just staring at Blossom.  He knows he has seen her before, but he can't quite remember.  Flashbacks to the time when he and Blossom fought race before his eyes.

Brick: Who...who is that?  She...looks...

Scene changes to Boomer and Bubbles.  Boomer gets flashbacks to the last time they met.  His memories only seem to be of Bubbles fighting or getting hurt, but without any association of who was receiving or giving the punishment.  He remembers Bubbles rescuing the children on the school bus that was thrown by one of the RowdyRuff Boys.  The last flashback is of the moment before the kiss that destroyed him.  Boomer's jaw widens; he makes a small gasp, but says nothing.

Scene changes to Buttercup and Butch.  Butch's flashbacks are the foggiest.  He only sees very small bits and pieces from their last encounter but seems to remember all of the PowerPuff Girls, not just Buttercup.

Buttercup: Oh great!  They're back!  How did this happen?

Scene changes to Blossom.  Her expression of shock and fear changes to a sly confident look.

Blossom:

Wait a minute.  This is going to be easy!  We can defeat them just like before!

Scene changes to Bubbles.  Bubbles also remembers how they defeated the RowdyRuff Boys the last time.  Her expression changes to that of a sultry pose like the last time.

Bubbles: All we need to do is be nice to them...

Scene changes to Buttercup.  Apparently she has also come to the same conclusion as the rest of the girls at the same time.  However, she completes this little scripted conversation a little differently.

Buttercup: (screams in the air) And I'm not doing it!!!

Buttercup takes off straight for Butch at full speed.  Butch, still in a bit of a daze from seeing Buttercup again, has his guard down.  Buttercup slams straight into Butch and sends him along with the case of plutonium sailing into the 1st floor of a nearby building.  The wall collapses on top of him covering him in rubble.

Scene changes to Blossom.  Blossom is putting on the "charm" like she did the last time.  She floats over to Brick and kisses him on the check.  His reaction leading up to the kiss is identical to the last time.

Scene changes to Bubbles.  Bubbles reenacts the kiss from the last time on Boomer.

Scene changes to Butch.  Butch sticks his head out of the rubble and looks up at Buttercup.

Butch: It's gonna take a lot more than a few cheap shots from you to stop me!

Butch bolts out of the rubble and clashes with Buttercup.

Scene changes to Brick.  Brick is screaming much like the way he did the last time Blossom kissed him.  However, he doesn't explode.

Brick: Ahhhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeewwwwww!!!!!!!  Grrrrrrr!  Girl cooties!

Blossom is stunned at the turn of events.  Brick swoops up over her and gives her a double handed smash on the top of the head.  Blossom goes streaking down through the ground below.

Brick: Petooui!

Brick spits and wipes his cheek.  He then flies off back to MoJo's lab.  After he leaves, Blossom emerges from the hole in the ground and looks up in the sky for Brick.

Blossom: Oh no!  It didn't work!  Now what are we going to do?

Scene changes to Bubbles and Boomer.  The scene cuts back to the moment just before the kiss.  Bubbles kisses Boomer, but instead of screaming and blowing up, Boomer reacts by holding his hand to his face on the spot where Bubbles kissed him.

Boomer: What did you do that for?

Bubbles realizes that this is not right.  She holds her hands up near her mouth and exclaims...

Bubbles: Oh no!  He didn't blow up!

Boomer is completely confused.

Boomer: Huh?

Suddenly, Bubbles and Boomer are both distracted by loud explosions in the background.  They take a quick glance at each other and then both fly off to investigate.  They soon find Buttercup and Butch fighting it out.

Butch: Had enough sissy?!
   
Buttercup: I haven't even got started!

Back and forth they duke it out.

An array of spectacular attacks are unleashed by each of them.  Bubbles and Boomer float nearby astonished at the scene in front of them.  Buttercup tries a frontal attack, but Butch sees her coming and sidesteps her.  He grabs her by the hair and sends her into a nearby water tower.  Boomer takes this opportunity to fly over to Butch and talk to him.

Boomer: Dude!  MoJo said to come back right away!  What are you doing?
   
Butch: Hey, I don't take orders from a monkey!

Bubbles flies off to go help Buttercup.  Buttercup emerges soaked from the water tower.

Bubbles: Buttercup, are you okay?!
   
Buttercup: Yeah, I'm fine.  But we've gotta stop those guys!
   
Bubbles: I tried, but it doesn't work!
   
Buttercup: What doesn't work?
   
Bubbles: You know...being nice to them?
   
Buttercup: What?!

Camera changes back to Boomer and Butch.

Boomer: Come on!  We've got to get back.  We promised!

Butch scowls, but cools down enough to realize Boomer is right.

Butch: Okay!  Fine!  Let's just go!

Butch flies down to the building where Buttercup first knocked him into to retrieve the case of plutonium.  He grabs it and heads off for MoJo's.  Boomer follows behind, but stops momentarily to look back.  He sees Bubbles talking with Buttercup.  He focuses in on Bubbles for a moment, then turns and flies off.
