Chapter 2B

A New Beginning

The girls' alarm went off that same night. The girls did their transform sequence and met the professor's house. Poochi informed them that the same monster from before has returned and he was on his way to the New Townsville hospital. So, the girls flew as fast as they can to the hospital.

When they arrived, the scene was in pandamonium. While, the girls were trying to calm the scene down. Some shadowy flat figures came from the hospital enterance, then became three-dimentional. The creatures were half the size of humans, were covered with black scales, and had yellow glowing eyes.

Blossom: What are those things? (She was scared. The monsters gave a creepy screech as they charged toward the group.)

Buttercup: Whatever they are, they're asking for a good pounding.

The conflict begins. The girls were somehow able to manage plenty of the creatures. As each one waws defeated, they screeched before dissolving into shadows. Afterwards, the girls were going to go inside. An officer said, "Well, we need to find out who is behind..." A hospital bed crashed out the window and fell to the ground below. "Never mind." Some more of the creatures came out of the door chasing after a doctor whom they were going to kill.

Bubbles: Bubble Champagne!! (Her bubble got the doctor out of the way, and Buttercup took the enemies down. Blossom went to assist the medic.)

Blossom: Are you okay?

Doctor: I'm fine. Thank you for saving me. One of the patients is in danger. The monster who invaded the hospital is after a specific patient.

Buttercup: Which one is it and what does he plan to do with him?

Doctor: The intruder wants to take the life of our newest patient, Alex Hensal. (Everyone was shocked, especially Blossom.)

Blossom: Do you know what the intruder looks like?

Doctor: The monster looks like a shadowy humanoid.

Blossom: Let's go save Alex. (Then, a whole legion of the creatures came out.)

Bubbles: Don't bother with these guys, they are just here to buy time for the monster.

Buttercup: We will hold them off. Go save, Alex.

Blossom: Okay. (She rushes in to save Alex at maximum speed.)

For some odd reason, she knew where to go, through the hospital and to the hospital roof which was ten stories from the ground. She also knew Alex was tied up. She did not know why she knew this. Some of the monsters came after her by getting in her way. She took her yo-yo and thrusted it at them.

Blossom: Cotton Candy Cyclone!! (Her yo-yo created a tornado that blew the enemies away. After that she advanced forward to reach the roof.)

Meanwhile on the roof, Alex was tied up and unable to move. The chemical X had mutated him. His hair was now orange and other stuff about him has changed. A man of shadows, the intruder cam up to him.

???: I have you right where I want you.

Alex: What are you going to do with me? (with anger and fear)

???: I shall throw you off this edge and you will fall to your death. That way, you wioll get lots of pain when you hit the ground and give you time to say your prayers. The Powerpuff Girls Z will not be able to help you because they are to busy. By the time they are finished, you will already be dead. (He picks up Alex.) I, Umbra, will be the last person you shall see. Your end is nigh. This is where you meet death. Now, DIE!! (He throws Alex over the edge.)

Alex fell a few stories and began to feel time slow down. He closed his eyes thinking this, truely, was his end. He felt his fall stop. He thought he hit the ground. "Am I dead?" he thought "Why can I still feel the wind?" He, then, he opened his eyes.

He saw he was in the arms of a sixteen-year old maiden in a pink shirt and skirt who was beautiful in his eyes. She resembled Blossom because she was Blossom.

Alex: Who are you? (He asked in a mild voice.)

Blossom: I'm Blossom. (She hadd successfully saved Alex from certain death.)

Alex: Thank you for saving me, Blossom.

Blossom: I made it. Thank goodness.

Poochi informed the girls that the monster had vanished again, The monster took the creatures with him. Blossom carried Alex to the front of the hospital. She told Bubbles and Buttercup that he was okay. From the crowd, came a girl about Ken's age who had a red shirt and a matching skirt on her.

"Alex." she said. "Isabel." he replied. They hugged.

Isabel: I'm glad you are okay.

Alex: I'm okay thanks to the Powerpuff Girls Z.

Isabel: Thank you for saving him.

Buttercup: Don't sweat it. It comes with the job.

Afterwards, Alex was able to go home. But the image of being in the arms of Blossom remained in his mind. He will never forget that time. At the same time, Blossom, can not forget that same image.
