Buttercup

New York City - Central Park

"Ahh man, by the time I got here it was already over." Buttercup scowled down at the ground where the kaiju fight had just occurred. If she had just arrived a bit sooner she would have been able to get in her first serious scuffle since she had moved to the area. Sure she had managed to take down a few thugs but frankly it was a lot harder to find crime than one might think. Sure New York no doubt had a lot more crime than Townsville but she knew the old town like the back of her hand and it had been easy to sniff out the bad guys. New York was kind of hard to navigate and Professor Utonium had warned them not to be quite so open with their powers here. Back in Townsville they had grown up there so it was a very different environment and experience where most people frankly knew them, starting over again was a pain.

"Well maybe it's a good thing since those bozos are all around the place." Buttercup scoffed as she had noticed the Earth Protection Force was among those along with the police and the other the uh...Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense or whatever. They had a run in with those guys in the past as they had been worried the Powerpuff Girls were too open with their powers and could cause a panic if they became well known out of Townsville. Apparently they had made some deal with the Mayor at one point but she didn't know much about the details other than they were kind of annoying.

"Too much trouble to show up now, might as well just listen to some music on the way home. Man, I was just itching for some real action too..." Buttercup put in some earbuds and left before she could get spotted by those jerks.

Blossom

New York City - Utonium Houshold in Queens

"Ugh sooo bored." Blossom lounged around on the sofa in front of the TV, her position shifting every few minutes as she tried to find the perfect fit. "Maybe I should have gone with Bubbles to the mall." Blossom had looked through every channel they had but most everything on the tube was just garbage. She did enjoy watching the history channel from time to time but the topic at the moment wasn't something she was really interested in. Blossom rolled over, and fell off the couch with a thump. She landed on her face and just layed there and lazily turned off the TV as she thought about what to do with her face to the floor like she was trying to suffocate her boredom.

"Dad sure comes home late these days, maybe I just need to find a boyfriend. I'm in highschool now I should be able to handle it right?" Blossom questioned herself, her voice muffled by her position. "I wonder where Buttercup went, I think she just wanted to see if she could find any trouble so she could fight." Blossom forced herself off the floor and sat with her back to the couch and leaned her head back on the seat cushions.

She stared up at the ceiling for a moment then slapped her cheeks. "Come on Blossom stop being sour, you're the one who helped push everyone in this mood so you have to stay positive!" The leapt up on her feet but before she decided to leave the house she took a look at a picture on the hearth. It was a picture of her mother, who she had never met but who had given her life to give birth to Blossom and her sisters. "I'm going to do my best in your place mom, I'll try to make sure dad doesn't lose himself completely in his work." With a wave she left the house to explore the area.

Bubbles

A Mall

"I knew there would be so many more stores and shops to see in New York but being here in person is like a dream come true!" Bubbles practically skipped around as she traveled from store to store, seeing all sorts of brands she had only seen in magazines and online before. "Ahhh, if only I had a larger allowance or a part time job I really could pick up the latest fashions! There are so many cute dresses, scarfs, and accessories to see!" Having the time of her life Bubbles flitted about without any real destination in mind. She had invited her sisters but Buttercup was more interested in trying to fight crime and Blossom hadn't felt like it for some reason, it really was too bad.

Suddenly Bubbles was confronted by a rather gaudily dressed individual she had never seen before. "Hello there young one, I couldn't help but notice you have a rather keen eye and sense of of what's trending."

"Errm thanks I guess?" Bubbles took a step back unsure of what to think, she really was wishing at least Blossom was with her.

"Say I'm currently searching for some young models actually and I think your bubbly looks and personality would be perfect for some of my fashion lines. Now obviously you shouldn't decide right away, here's my card." The man pulled out a bright business card and gave it to Bubbles. "Give me a call if you'd be interested, later!" As quick as he appeared he was gone.

"Wait so...I could potentially be a model for a teen fashion magazine!" Bubbles looked at the card in shock not quite sure if what had happened was real or not. "I better tell everyone else about it before I decide anything, but just thinking about being able to wear all those cute clothes, it's like a dream come true!"

Professor Utonium

Atlas Labs

The professor was still feeling the buzz of a new job and working in a true lab again. Sure he missed his old home lab but the equipment was second to none and being able to bounce his ideas off of his coworkers was something he hadn't been able to do in quite some time. Of course the biggest draw back was not being able to see his daughter's faces whenever he wanted. Sometimes when he had been working for long hours he found his mind wandering back to his girls and had feelings similar to withdrawals, just went to show how much being a father had changed him from the super scientist he once was.

At the moment he was in the robotics lab working on some interesting projects, before he had arrived they apparently had hit a snag in their robotics division but thanks to the Professor's help they had finally managed to fix an key issue that had been plaguing the team for months. "I see you've still got it Professor Utonium even after all these years." Professor Utonium's friend Kevin Xeon patted him on the back. "I was afraid all that time raising those girls of yours might have made you rusty."

Utonium smiled and rolled his shoulders. "You know Kevin I wasn't so sure myself but in my spare time I always made sure to keep up with the latest scientific journals along with my own experiments to keep my mind in shape. It really is great to be part of a team again."

"Well we are certainly glad you decided to be part of our team and not another like those TCRI blokes. They've got their geniuses but...well let's say there are some rumors about some sort of shady business going on there, nothing concrete of course but still makes one think."

"So I've heard our robotics project here is part of a larger scheme with a lot of different labs pitching in. Any idea what it's all about?"

"Afraid not, the higher ups are very tight lipped about it all. You know though, things have been getting a little weirder than usual, not sure what it is but could have something to do with it."

"Well as long as I can help out my fellow man that's all that matters, as long as I can see my girls of course."

"You really are a doting papa aren't you Professor? Almost feel bad for taking you away from them, but not really." Kevin laughed and started walking away. "Well I have my own projects to oversee so good luck square."

Utonium sighed and said under his breath, _{"Dang it Kevin you know I hate that name."}

Well I think that should help cover the backstory to the move for the most part so soon the Powerpuffs should be seeing some Big Apple action! I'm still not quite certain where I want to place Professor Utonium, obviously a lab but not sure who I should affiliate it with. Don't think the TCRI would be hiring him since the bad guys are kinda in control of that for the moment, maybe sometime in the future. Probably just have to create my own facility since I can't really think of other Indie labs that could work.

Mojo Jojo

Two Months Prior - Townsville

"It was a shame the Powerpuff Girls had to move away along with the Professor, Townsville really enjoyed having them around." The Mayor of Townsville, a short white-headed gentleman, looked wistfully out the window of his office, taking a small break from his regular duties. The town really had benefited quite a lot from the Powerpuff Girls protection but fewer and fewer strange things had been happening in Townsville these days so really, perhaps it was just fate for the Powerpuff Girls to move away.

"Well as long as we still have Mojo Jojo locked away I think our beefed up security forces can handle most of the remaining threats. Professor Utonium really did a great job helping our boys have the tools necessary to keep our town safe, perhaps if we had the funds to rebuild the science lab we wouldn't have had him leave for greener pastures. Oh well, maybe I'll just have a pickle or two before I get back to work." The Mayor reached under his desk to his special stash of dill pickles to munch on when suddenly the front doors to his office burst open. He leapt up in surprise and stared to see a face that should not have been there.

"Salutations soon to be ex-mayor of Townsville for it is I, Mojo Jojo who will soon be in control of this fair city." The green-skinned simian smiled evilly and his dome that protected his exposed brain seemed extra shiny today. The monkey whipped his cape behind him and strode forward with malicious intent.

"H-How is this possible! I checked only a day ago and you were still in your cell! There has been no reports of a breakout at all!" The mayor shook in fear as the super-intellectual monkey reached his desk and started to rub his hands together in anticipation.

"Indeed! If you indeed go down to the prison and check again you will still find that I, Mojo Jojo am still in prison, but that is a lie! The Mojo Jojo currently held in the Townsville jail is actually my second most clever creation, the Robo Jojo! In my last encounter with the accursed Powerpuff girls I decided that I needed to drop off the grid for a while to prepare for their demise. So, I concocted a most clever scheme, to allow the girls to defeat me while went underground to prepare for what will be our last encounter." Mojo Jojo slammed his fists on the desk and turned to lift his hands up in the sky in complete triumph. "Like I had envisioned you stupid humans fell for my ruse and now everything is ready for the day I finally rid myself of the Powerpuff girls and force Professor Utonium to give me the formula for chemical X so that my plans for world conquest can finally come to fruition! Now Mayor! Call on the Powerpuff girls so that I may end this once and for all! There is nothing that can stop my plan once all the pieces are in place!"

"Errr...well Mr. Mojo normally I would but, the girls are no longer in Townsville." The Major admitted nervously as he wondered how Mojo Jojo would react to the news.

"Ha ha ha! Please Mr. Mayor, who is the current head of this city, do you take me for a fool! I know you must be trying to prevent the girls from falling into my clever trap but that was a poor lie! If you will not call the Powerpuff Girls then I will!" Mojo Jojo leapt behind the desk, shoved the Mayor to the side and opened up the drawer with the emergency hotline and quickly dialed.

"I'm sorry but this number is no longer in service or you have dialed incorrectly."

"No, I must have dialed incorrectly in my haste to quickly my most diabolical scheme yet." He dialed in the number again, which was written on the bottom of the drawer, and listened.

"I'm sorry but this number is no longer in service or you have dialed incorrectly."

Mojo Jojo's mouth opened wide in shock when he couldn't reach the Powerpuff girls. "This cannot be! Surely there must be another way I can contact them!" Mojo Jojo turned to the Mayor, who merely shook his head.

"The Professor insisted that since they were moving so far away that it was best the line was cut so the girls wouldn't feel like they still needed to protect the town, he wanted to have a clear restart."

"But if the Powerpuff girls are no longer here, and neither is Professor Utonium, then I cannot lure the Powerpuff Girls into my trap and if I cannot lure the Powerpuff Girls into my trap by today then it will be impossible to maintain the output of my newest device which is key to destroying the Powerpuff Girls. Even if I did manage to lure the girls here the Professor would be left behind and if the Professor is left behind he could easily go into hiding and then I might never be able to extract from him the secrets of Chemical X! This is completely outrageous! Ridiculous! Completely unacceptable!" Mojo Jojo started pacing around in a circle trying to think of his next move, while the Mayor attempted to inch himself away.

"Even if I take over Townsville without the formula for Chemical X my plans for World Domination all that would be for naught! Taking over an entire town for any length of time before I could put my true plans in motion would only make me a target to other forces. I will have to alter my plans drastically, mayor." Mojo saw the Mayor almost make it to the door but quickly moved to intercept him and got in his way. "Where did Professor Utonium and the Powerpuff Girls move to?" Mojo clasped the Mayor's head between his hands and started to squeeze, causing the Mayor to grunt in pain.

"They, they moved to New York city! The Professor was given a great job deal by some bigshot I'd never heard of before! Please! Just leave!" The mayor pleaded as he was forced to look in the made eyes of the eccentric chimp.

"The Big Apple is it? I have heard that there is perhaps no greater hive of scum and villainy in that area. Quite the playground the Powerpuffs will have over there. Still, it would make an excellent place to hide out while I prepare for my alternate plan. Like it or not for my plans to be realized I must have Professor Utonium's formula and the only way to do that is to follow them. Well, admittedly I as losing good places to hide out here anyway. Now the problem is being in jail has too many benefits for me to give up, so I cannot just let you go Mr. Mayor." Mojo Jojo let him go and the Mayor collapsed on the floor.

The mayor groaned and managed to get up on his hands and knees. He looked up at Mojo's grinning face with dread.

"What are you going to do to me Mojo?"

"Well it would be fun to just end your life right now and replace you with a Robo Mayor but I don't have the time or resources right now to make such a sophisticated item. If you suddenly vanished the authorities would get suspicious and inspect Robo Mojo more closely, revealing him as a mere robotic copy, so instead I will just have to modify your memories a little bit." Mojo reached into his clothes and took out what appeared to be a small spray of some kind and made then quickly pushed the button of top to spray the contents into the Mayor's face, knocking him unconscious. "Of course since I am free to do as I please I may as well make a few modifications as well as I am sure I can make use of Townsville some day in the future."

The Powerpuff Girls!

Blossom, Bubbles, Buttercup

Two Months Prior - New York, Queens

"Well girls we're here!" Professor Utonium proudly parked the car in front of a fairly nice looking two-story house in a decent looking suburb. The yard was a bit small and of course it would take a while to move all their stuff inside when the moving trucks came in a bit later. The girls jumped out of the car and took a closer look at the house. It sat there, foreign to their eyes, it was hard to think of this as their new home.

"Well at least it's a cute house! I like the railing on that small balcony up there!"

"I'm sure we'll get to know her inside out before no time!"

"I don't know, it certainly looks smaller than our old house, we better still be able to have separate rooms!"

"Well actually Buttercup, you know you girls used to sleep together all the time so I thought you'd be fine doing it all over again." The Professor twirled the house keys around his finger and tried to resist the urge to smirk.

"Excuse me!?"
"What!?"
"But I have too much stuff for one shared room!"

Professor Utonium laughed and clenched a fist around the keys to stop them. "Ha ha don't worry girls, there are enough bedrooms for everyone!"

"Whew..."
"That's a relief..."
"Please don't scare me like that dad!"

"Alright girls, let's get the bare essentials our from the car and I'll give you a tour of the house. Well let's hop to it, we'll all have to get used to some changes but I know we can pull through the rough patches if we work together!" Professor Utonium smiled and opened the door to their new house, things were certainly going to change there was no doubt about that.

The Powerpuff Girls!

Blossom, Bubbles, Buttercup

Three Months Prior - Townsville

"That was a real bombshell father dropped on us! Tree incoming Buttercup!"

"I see it Bubbles!" Buttercup rushed forward, dodged under the approaching tree and kicked it upward so it flew above the heads of a picnicing family. "I know right!? Kinda felt like a punch to the gut how out of left field that was!" Fuzzy Lumpkins raged as he saw his tree throw get deflected. The family of five quickly ran for cover from the rage of the furry humanoid.

"Get yer scrawny butts out of here Powerpuff girls! This here is my territory! All the green places in this here town are mine by birthright! I'll crush you, this town and return it back to it's pristine glory!" Fuzzy Lumpkins growled, his hulking body bristling with power and malice, but the PowerPuff girls had more pressing matters to discuss.

"I know it's a hard pill to swallow girls, but father did tell us to think it through before answering. I know it's hard to imagine but we can't just think of ourselves, after all the professor has given his all for us these past years, maybe it's about time for us to give him something he wants?" Blossom said to try and be the voice of reason while their emotions ran high even their own. "Also Fuzzy! Get out of Townsville's parks and go back home already!" Blossom flew toward the large monster, dodged a swipe at the last second and smacked him a good one on the side of his head, causing him to spin around and nearly trip over himself. But mostly all it did was make the sasquatch like creature mad.

"I do feel bad about taking up all dad's time these past years, but Townsville's been our home for so long. I just don't know about moving to such a big city, it kinda seems scary, all those people we don't know, a new school and everything." Fuzzy Lumpkins finally drew his shot gun from his back and started firing at the girls, forcing them to take cover as their conversation continued with rarely a pause.

"I'll be hard for sure I won't argue that but I'm sure we can make new friends there!"

"I will admit I'm getting a little bored here in Townsville. This is the first time in months Fuzzy has shown up to stomp on our turf, Mojo Jojo's in jail, and the regular crooks hardly even seem to try these days. I bet there will be a lot of punching bags in New York!" Another gunshot exploded and this time knocked off a chuck of tree Buttercup was currently plastered behind. "Alright Fuzzy! That's enough shots from you!" Buttercup jumped out from behind the tree and flashed her heat vision right at Fuzzy Lumpkin's barrel. The Gun quickly turned red hot causing Fuzzy to drop it in pain.

"Yeow! Blast it and tarnation! I'm plum tired of you girls always getting in my way!" Fuzzy stomped the ground and turned completely red in rage, his muscles started to expand as the rage built up in his system.

"We shouldn't move there just because you want to fight bad guys Buttercup. Anyway, we better wrap this up quickly before Fuzzy goes completely out of control!" Blossom warned them as Fuzzy raged like a mad rhino, tearing up everything in his way. Buttercup moved to intercept him but unlike with Blossom, Fuzzy was ready this time and grabbed Buttercup by the head and slammed her into the ground, cracking it with his power, forcing Buttercup to cough up the air in her lungs.

"Don't worry I'll save you Buttercup!" Bubbles then started to make cute little squeaking noises and a brave squirrel answered her call and launched itself at Fuzzy's face.

"Gahh!! Get off me ya dirty varmit!" Fuzzy let go of Buttercup and desperately tried to grab the squirrel but the nimble beast was too fast for the large Lumpkin.

"Alright girls! Let's remind him why he shouldn't mess with the Powerpuff Girls! Time to finish this!" Blossom nodded to Bubbles while Buttercup hopped back over to them, her face messed up with dirt.

"I'm gonna give you payback for that Lumpy!" Buttercup quickly joined up with Blossom and Bubbles, they lifted themselves off the ground and rocketed toward Fuzzy who was still distracted by the squirrel. With a click from Bubbles, the Squirrel dashed away leaving Fuzzy just enough time to turn and get a face full of Powerpuff Girl fists. Fuzzy tumbled over and rolled across the ground from the force of the combined blows, stopped after a few meters and sat up in a daze. Fuzzy shook his head and regained his senses just in time to kiss Bubbles shoe.

"You're gonna-oof!-hafta-gahh!-do better than-Bleh!-that to stop old Fuzzy Lumpkins!" Despite the kicks and punches Fuzzy's high adrenaline was still coursing through his body giving him the power to tank the blows without too much worry. Girls girls jumped back, making a triangle around Fuzzy as he growled and tried to figure out with girl to go for.

"Well we could just beat you black and blue!" Buttercup rammed a fist into her palm to emphasis she kind of wanted to do just that.

"But we'd really love to settle this more peacefully Fuzzy." Bubbles smiled and gave him a wink.

"And we've stalled you long enough for the police to arrive!" Blossom announced triumphantly as many heavily suited up officers crawled out of their police cars and an armored van.

Fuzzy looked at Blossom with a puzzled look and then just laughed. "Ha ha ha! That's the funniest darn joke I've heard all day! What are the boys in blue gonna do against The Fuzzy Lumpkins? Shoot me with those pea shooters, you know those bullets would just bounce right offa me!" Fuzzy thumped his chest and grinned but Blossom just grinned wider.

"I don't think you'll be so smug after realizing they've gotten a few upgrades the Utonium way!" Fuzzy looked over and noticed the guys from the van had some rather heavy looking guns and some sort of net shooters as well. Before he could think about attacking them they started to fire and suddenly Fuzzy found himself stuck like a pincushion with needles.

"What the heck are they...doing to me...what's going on?" Fuzzy lost the red coloring in his body and could feel his body start to get sluggish. Seeing this the troopers fired the heavy nets, pinning Fuzzy to the ground who knew he should have easily been able to rip through them but just couldn't muster the strength to.

"The police now have a special sedative just for you Fuzzy! Without all that adrenaline pumping through your system you're just a big softy!"

"So soft that kids could even use you as a giant teddy bear!" Bubbles giggled as Fuzzy found himself unable to think anymore.

"Thanks for that last fight Fuzzy! Not a bad way to end our careers here." Butter cup gave Fuzzy's back a hearty thump, forcing Fuzzy's face into the ground.

"Now that wasn't very nice Buttercup!" Bubbles protested since Fuzzy couldn't even fight anymore.

"Hey! He deserved it after he smashed by face into the ground! I can already feel the bruises forming on my face!"

"End of our careers huh? So Bubbles, Buttercup? Have we reached our decision?" Blossom asked as the girls looked at each other's faces, their faces were set with decision.

Bubbles decided to start. "You know I'm scared about moving but I bet there are a lot of fashions and shops that I can find over there. It'll be hard to leave everything I know behind but I'm sure I can manage. Dad deserves to do something he loves, just like he put his heart and soul in upgrading the Townsville police force!"

Buttercup nodded as she tried to rub all the dirt off her face but mostly just succeeded in smearing it even more. "You know, I'll be really sad to leave this town behind, went to my first rock concert here, had some really good battles, but I'm getting quite antsy. I feel like maybe we've finally outgrown this town and there's nothing here to challenge us anymore, especially with that creep Mojo behind bars. If I can find new challenges and make father happy I'm all for it."

Blossom nodded, took a deep breathe and gave her piece. "You know I really didn't want to go at first. I've made so many good friends here, we were born and raised here so Townsville has always been our home. I don't know too much about New York but at least father said we'd be living in one of the suburbs rather than the more metropolitan areas of town. You know I was really surprised when father brought up moving, I thought he would never leave out house considering all the memories we've had together along with the memories he had with mom. I really wished we had gotten to know her, even for just a little bit."

Bubbles and Buttercup both nodded at the mention of their mother, the Professor had told them some stories and they had seen some pictures but that was all they knew about their mother. All they knew was their mom was a remarkable woman who had managed to give birth to them despite the difficulties.

"The fact that father is willing to move after so long is proof he is trying to move on in life. I know I for one am not going to get in his way. I know it's sad to leave but as long as we are all together I know it will work out! So we are all agreed then right? Let's support our dad all the way and make this move to New York a resounding success! One three! One, two three!" The girls clapped their hands together and ran back home to tell Professor Utonium their decision to support the move while Fuzzy Lumpkins was dragged into the armored vehicle to get carted away.

The girls had just made of the biggest decisions in their lives, and life was going to change in a very big way.

The Powerpuff Girls!

Blossom, Bubbles, Buttercup

Three Months Prior - Townsville

Blossom managed to get ready in record time as she ran down the stairs to see her two sisters almost finished with their breakfast. Eggs, toast, cereal, and orange juice were on the menu though Blossom knew she didn't have too much time to enjoy them. "Morning Bubbles! Morning Buttercup!" Blossom smiled as she scooted into a seat and quickly prepared her breakfast so she could heave it down the hatch.

"Good morning Blossom!" Bubbles exclaimed with her natural enthusiasm. "It's going to be a wonderful day! Just look at that sunshine outside!" Bubbles nodded toward the kitchen window and happily sipped some orange juice out of her glass. As Blossom turned to take a better look, Buttercup snarfed down the last of her toast and grinned at Blossoom.

"So meet another cute guy in your dream so you wanted to stay in bed longer?" Buttercup joked in a tone that said it was probably the reason Blossom had gotten up so late. Blossom's first instinct was to blush but then she remembered how the dream had ended that morning, with the face of an ugly simian practically laughing at her.

"If only, instead all I got was an incredibly hairy face."

Buttercup grimaced a little. "Ugh, that's just downright nasty. But seriously Blossom you really need to get love out of your head and just live a little like I do!"

"Humph, well I can't say sports, metal bands, and beating the stuffing out of bad guys is exactly living the high life! What you need is a little romance in your life, course I guess since you're not even trying to find a boyfriend I'll be finding true happiness first."

Before they could argue anymore Bubbles intervened. "Oh cut it out you two! Let's just enjoy the day together. After school we could go to the park, watch a movie, or even go to the mall! There are so many nice things we could do!" Buttercup pouted a little and crossed her arms but Blossom very quickly let it go.

"Right, well I better hurry out or we'll be late for school! Thank you Professor for our bountiful meal!" With that Blossom dug into her breakfast at an astounding rate and was quickly done. Even though he was their father sometimes they liked to refer to him by his Title, he certainly looked the part a lot of the time and was still experimenting even at home after all.

Done with their meals, the girls did their last check ups to make sure they didn't leave anything behind and headed out the door. Before they disappeared they each turned back to look as Professor Utonium made it to the front door to send them on their way.

"See you father!"

"Later Dad!"

"Adios!"

"Goodbye Girls! Have a good day at school!" Utonium kept waving for a little bit longer, then closed the door and went down to the basement, his laboratory. His usual pleasant demeanor was soured as he thought about the call he had received a few days ago. An old colleague of his had called to request that he return to work. Apparently one of the big-wigs had been on the lookout for prominent scientists to recruit and his expertise on biology, robotics, and extra-dimensional theories had peeked their interest. Thinking about going back to work after so long seemed rather exciting and frankly after so many years of taking care of the girls he had been getting a little antsy. Sure he still dabbled and invented on the side but he missed the work environment and the equipment of a well stocked laboratory.

There was a rather large problem, aside from just having less time to spend with the kids, the Townsville Laboratory was no longer usable. Townsville Labs had been thoroughly ransacked by Mojo Jojo, also it had basically been blown up during a battle between the girls and the insane chimp. There was just no place to work left in Townsville, the place he had been offered was in New York of all places, if he took the job, they would have to move and leave so many things behind, friends, memories, and of course their home.

Sure Townsville wasn't the same as it used to be, many people had moved away to greener pastures, more many young people, Townsville was not their final destination but just their starting point, but none of that changed the fact it was their home. Professor Utonium had built his life here, with the girls and his wife, Anna. This was the house he had taken her over the threshold, this was the house he had lived with her, this was the house he saw his girls first steps, this was the house that had to be remodeled a few times due to his children, JoJo, and himself, this house was all his girls had ever known.

Could he do that to his beautiful girls? Force them from the only home they knew because he wanted to work again? Force them to enter an entirely new environment and lose all of their friends? Would Blossom, named after his wife's love of flowers, try to argue against their going? Would Buttercup, named after Anna's favorite desert, rebel and never speak to him again? Would Bubbles, named after Anna's ability to always remain cheerful, grow silent dealing with the shock? The Professor knew his mind was being a bit over dramatic but at the same time he had real doubts about what would happen.

"What should I do Anna? I suppose my only choice is to had a long talk with the girls when they get home. Maybe I should leave it up to them, Sugar, and Spice, and Everything Nice, that is what little girls are made of. Well, my perfect little girls had to grow up some time. Funny how they are the ones with all the powers but all I can think about is wanting to protect them, even from the pain of such an important decision. I just hope they give it serious thought before making a decision." The Professor sat down at his desk chair, and waited.

We also definitely have to get the TMNT and the PPGs together at some point considering they’re the same age.

For sure, plenty of shenanigans to be had among impressionable teenagers. Quite a few of the villains and stuff would also easily crossover since both series can have quite wacky casts.

The Powerpuff Girls!

Blossom, Bubbles, Buttercup

Blossom, Bubbles, Buttercup.

Powers And Abilities:

The Powerpuff Girls have superhuman strength, agility, and durability making them extremely tough. Perhaps most impressive is their ability to fly without any assistance at potentially supersonic speeds. Aside from their general powers each girl has their own unique skills. Blossom has an ice breath ability, Bubbles has a supersonic voice plus the ability to communicate with animals and in other languages, Buttercup has heat-vision and is able to curl her tongue. While each is strong on their own their true power is when they can work together to take down their foes, or survive a night at a high school social gathering.

Origin And Backstory:

Professor Utonium was a genius scientist who had it all, wealth, fame, and his beautiful wife, Anna. He was working on a new substance that seemed to have the remarkable ability to transform and strengthen anything it came in contact with; however the effects were unpredictable to say the least so his testing was limited to say the least. As the chemical was a complete unknown variable he decided to name it Chemical X like the much used Algebraic variable in math.

His inventions brought him great renown and fame but his happiest moment was when he learned that his wife was pregnant with triplets. Doctor Utonium was over the moon with joy and all his colleagues could say he was the happiest man in the world, but then Anna got sick and started to deteriorate. No doctor could help her so the distraught doctor could only come to one conclusion, he had to bet it all on Chemical X. As he prepared a batch of the stuff however one of his lab monkeys managed to escape from his cage and having a bit of a sweet tooth and being a kleptomaniac, swiped sugar, spice, and random nice things he could find. The doctor chased him around but while he did, the monkey dropped his items which fell into the vat, broke a small vial of storage chemical X for small testing purposes and escaped the lab.

The doctor had no time for another batch and the Chemical X already absorbed the items, leaving the doctor no choice but to use the contaminated batch in a desperate attempt to save his wife and his children. After drinking the batch, Anne fell into a deep sleep for a while but seemed to recover somewhat. Soon afterward, she gave birth to triplets but died in the process due to complications. The triplets however were quite lively and strangely enough had quite different appearances to each other, so much so that Utonium could only attribute the differences as a byproduct of the Chemical X. He named his daughters Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup in memory of the things Anne loved and somewhat secluded himself from the rest of the scientific community so he could focus on raising his daughters more.

As they grew up he began to notice strange things happening with his daughters, floating off the ground, picking up heavy objects without breaking a sweat, rarely bleeding, once even setting the curtains on fire by staring at them too intensely. Quickly the doctor had to teach them self-control so they wouldn’t accidentally destroy the neighborhood. Once the girls had become twelve, strange crimes and events starting happening around them and before long, the girls were thrust into battle when Doctor Utonium was kidnapped by his previous lab monkey, Mojo Jojo in order to get his hands on the Chemical X formula.

The girls quickly tracked down the evil monkey and defeated him, saving their father and giving birth to the dynamic superhero team, the Powerpuff Girls! Currently the girls are fifteen years old and just starting high school where they try to find balance between their normal lives and superhero ones. It won’t be long before they’ll have to save more than just their town, maybe even the world!

Good Morning Blossom!

Blossom hugged the white letter to her chest as she skipped around the school. To think it had only been a week since her high school debut and she had already received her first love letter. Things could not have turned out any better! With a grin as wide as a Cheshire Cat she hopped to the back of the gym. There, just a few yards away, was the large, strong back of a handsome upperclassman. All she could really see was his black hair since he was facing away from her so she quickly went through her mind the students she remembered seeing in the hallways, a few popped up she thought could fit the bill and quickly wiped some drool from the side of her mouth.

Blossom quickly did a double-check over herself to make sure everything was just so. Clothes check, ribbon check, hair check, dazzling smile check. Blossom worked up her courage and called out to him. "Hey I got your letter! I'm here for my confession!" Blossom belted out without putting too much thought into her words. The student remained as they were. Now Blossom was just confused, surely he had to have heard her? Why didn't he turn around? Maybe he was really shy? She giggled a little as she came to the quick conclusion he was just shy and started to walk toward him when her phone started to ring, very loudly.

"Gahhh! No! Stop it stupid phone you're ruining the mood!" She reached for her phone on the gym wall and tried to shut it up but accidentally smashed it instead. "Crackerjacks!" Blossom cursed in the sweetest way possible hoping her soon-to-be boyfriend didn't see her mistake, thankfully he still hadn't turned around. She breathed a sigh of relief and in the back of her mind wondered why her phones ringtone had been changed to her alarm clock? No doubt that was Buttercup's doing as a prank, she'd get back at her later but right now she had a date with destiny!

_{"Blossom. Blossom."} A somewhat deeper voice than she expected could be just barely heard from the upperclassman as she got closer and closer.

"I'm here! I'm here! So are we going to do this or what?" Blossom eagerly awaited the moment her prince charming would turn around and make her swoon in his arms. Any moment now, any moment.

"Blossom, Blossom, it's TIME TO GET UP SLEEPYHEAD!" The boy turned around and instead of the face of her handsome prince charming instead was the hairy and disgusting face of her vile enemy Mojo Jojo, with the most evil of grins on his simian features.

"NOOOOOOOOO!!!!" Blossom screamed as she pushed Mojo Jojo away with all her strength...and found herself sitting up in bed in a cold sweat. A strange groaning could be heard as she tried to make sense of what just happened while she started to fully wake up. It was her room, mostly pink with a few stuffed animals, her overstuffed bookshelf, a broken alarm clock, and her father collapsed on the ground against the far wall.

"Oh I'm sorry father! I'm so sorry! I had a bad dream and mistook you for Mojo Jojo!" Blossom leaped out of bed in her classic pink pajamas and rushed over to help her father up.

"I'm alright Blossom, it's a good thing I had already install precautions before hand or I really would be more than just a little bruised." On that far wall Professor Utonium had installed some very durable and soft padding, just for such incidents when the girls couldn't control themselves well, such as suddenly waking up. The professor stretched his limbs and gave himself a quick examination just in case. "I'm a little disturbed you'd mistake me for Mojo Jojo though, maybe I need to have your eyes checked?" Utonium joked and pulled back Blossom's eye lid for full effect.

Blossom blushed in embarrassment and turned away. "Ha ha I'm fine father, you know how hard to control myself after a nightmare like that. It started out as such a good dream too..." Blossom sighed and looked at her alarm clock, then realized why she had heard it in her dreams which meant..."Oh Oh! JigglyPuffs! How long did I oversleep!" In a panic Blossom quickly raced out to find the nearest clock, her hair flying about wildly like an untamed medusa. A quick look confirmed her fears. "Gah! I need to hurry!"

Utonium watched in amusement as Blossom raced about in a panic. "Well guess I don't have to tell her anything, she figured it out on her own. Hmmm, better check on breakfast downstairs and see if anything is left after Buttercup has had her fill." Sure they made mistakes from time to time and could be tough to deal with, but they were his daughters and his world. He knew no matter the circumstances he would do everything in his power to support his super powered and adorable daughters.

Thanku, but ya, certainly toning them down a lot from their original levels, making them have a more human origin, and of course the villains will have a lot of changes as well. Changing them from mostly comedic characters of the original to a more dangerous and serious level, though hopefully I can still keep some of the comedic roots in tact. Anyway I'll just plop it over into the character tab.

Well I think this should do. Changed a lot of things, especially the backstory, so tell me what you think!

The Powerpuff Girls!

Blossom, Bubbles, Buttercup

Powers And Abilities:

The Powerpuff Girls have superhuman strength, agility, and durability making them extremely tough. Perhaps most impressive is their ability to fly without any assistance at potentially supersonic speeds. Aside from their general powers each girl has their own unique skills. Blossom has an ice breath ability, Bubbles has a supersonic voice plus the ability to communicate with animals and in other languages, Buttercup has heat-vision and is able to curl her tongue. While each is strong on their own their true power is when they can work together to take down their foes, or survive a night at a high school social gathering.

Origin And Backstory:

Professor Utonium was a genius scientist who had it all, wealth, fame, and his beautiful wife, Anna. He was working on a new substance that seemed to have the remarkable ability to transform and strengthen anything it came in contact with; however the effects were unpredictable to say the least so his testing was limited to say the least. As the chemical was a complete unknown variable he decided to name it Chemical X like the much used Algebraic variable in math.

His inventions brought him great renown and fame but his happiest moment was when he learned that his wife was pregnant with triplets. Doctor Utonium was over the moon with joy and all his colleagues could say he was the happiest man in the world, but then Anna got sick and started to deteriorate. No doctor could help her so the distraught doctor could only come to one conclusion, he had to bet it all on Chemical X. As he prepared a batch of the stuff however one of his lab monkeys managed to escape from his cage and having a bit of a sweet tooth and being a kleptomaniac, swiped sugar, spice, and random nice things he could find. The doctor chased him around but while he did, the monkey dropped his items which fell into the vat, broke a small vial of storage chemical X for small testing purposes and escaped the lab.

The doctor had no time for another batch and the Chemical X already absorbed the items, leaving the doctor no choice but to use the contaminated batch in a desperate attempt to save his wife and his children. After drinking the batch, Anne fell into a deep sleep for a while but seemed to recover somewhat. Soon afterward, she gave birth to triplets but died in the process due to complications. The triplets however were quite lively and strangely enough had quite different appearances to each other, so much so that Utonium could only attribute the differences as a byproduct of the Chemical X. He named his daughters Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup in memory of the things Anne loved and somewhat secluded himself from the rest of the scientific community so he could focus on raising his daughters more.

As they grew up he began to notice strange things happening with his daughters, floating off the ground, picking up heavy objects without breaking a sweat, rarely bleeding, once even setting the curtains on fire by staring at them too intensely. Quickly the doctor had to teach them self-control so they wouldn’t accidentally destroy the neighborhood. Once the girls had become twelve, strange crimes and events starting happening around them and before long, the girls were thrust into battle when Doctor Utonium was kidnapped by his previous lab monkey, Mojo Jojo in order to get his hands on the Chemical X formula.

The girls quickly tracked down the evil monkey and defeated him, saving their father and giving birth to the dynamic superhero team, the Powerpuff Girls! Currently the girls are fifteen years old and just starting high school where they try to find balance between their normal lives and superhero ones. It won’t be long before they’ll have to save more than just their town, maybe even the world!
