(Open POV)
Townsville…
There is the city skyline, in the style of a child's crayon drawing and marked with an arrow labeled 'Townsville'. The sun shines overhead.
"The city of Townsville! " The narrator said, excitedly.
At street level, the girls are next to the buildings. They too are labeled.
"…where you can plan on seeing the Powerpuff Girls." The narrator said.
Princess Morebucks is on the other side of the buildings. Labeled 'Me', she is cutting through the architecture with a large saw, also marked. The sun has a label as well. The entire diagram is labeled 'Big Big Plan, fig. 1'.
"And drawing upon that fact, the evil Princess saw to a scheme…" The narrator said.
The real Princess over and pulls the drawing aside, exposing another one underneath it. The buildings now lie on their side in the girls' former location; Princess and the sun both smile at the fact. The toppling is represented by a curved arrow labeled 'Fall'; the drawing is labeled 'Fig. 2'.
"…that would leave the girls flat." The narrator said, sadly.
Princess growls shrilly in anger and frustration, and she scribbles all over the page, obliterating it. Princess Morebucks crumpled the paper and hurled it at a wastebasket that was already overflowing with balled-up pages.
Princess' bedroom…
Princess is wearing her faux-Powerpuff outfit and with a stack of paper before her. She quickly whips up another schematic, this one showing the girls tied to a large bottle rocket and Princess lighting the fuse. The rocket is aimed at Mars, which is labeled; the girls are marked with the words 'I Hate Them'. She looks this over, then grits her teeth, crumples it, and throws it away. The entire stack is balled up next.
"I can't think of a good plan! Uhh!" Princess said, lifting a huge ball.
Princess throws it across the room; it ricochets off a lamp, then hits a diploma on the wall—signed by her father—and bounces off the power button of a TV set, turning it on. A news program comes up, with Stanley Whitfield at the anchor desk. Next to him is a graphic of a pink triangle with the program title 'Hard-Line' beneath it.
"The Powerpuff Girls defeated?" Whitfield asked, on TV.
Princess turns in surprise, then to the TV again. The girls are laid up in the hospital and they look like they were given a pretty good beating.
"Not quite." Whitfield said, as a voiceover.
Princess blows a loud raspberry; now Mojo Jojo is shown being led down a prison cell block.
"There'll be no more monkeying around for self-denounced simian Mojo Jojo." Whitfield said, as a voiceover.
Princess watches, transfixed; a cell door is heard slamming, and Mojo is in a cell.
"For that dastardly doer of evils, most arch of archenemies, is behind bars now." Whitfield said, on TV. Princess is in awe of the image. "But it was a close call for our heroes." The TV image is now on Mojo. "For they only narrowly escaped the clutches of the ingenious plan…" Princess is still looking at the TV. "…crafted by that best evil plot-planner, Mojo Jojo. How long 'til his evil plans take hold?"
Princess smiles wickedly.
Mojo's bathroom…
There is a jagged hole in the floor and water is bubbling, and the following items are seen strewn about: a file and shovel, followed by various pieces of prison-issue clothing. A toilet with a fuzzy top is in the background, and bath towels hang on a rack. One is marked with an M, the other with a J.
Mojo has tunneled during a successful escape attempt. The bathtub has Mojo's feet protruding from a mound of soap bubbles. Mojo sighs contentedly and he looks at the other end of the tub, where a rubber duckie floats on the bubbles. He pops his head out and blows bubbles happily, then sighs again and sinks down.
The number on Mojo's prison uniform is 655321—the same as that assigned to the main character of the film A Clockwork Orange when he is sent to prison.
The sound of the doorbell shakes him out of his relaxation.
Mojo's lair…
Mojo grunts and glares toward it, then pulls the towels off the rack and squishes across his lair, wrapped up in them. He opens the door and looks out. No one is there.
"What?!" Mojo exclaimed.
There is no sound but the chirping of birds. Mojo looks from side to side impatiently. Princess stands at the base of the volcano next to her father's limousine and yells up at him.
"HEY!" Princess said, angrily.
"You talking to me?" Mojo asked.
"WHAT?"
"ARE YOU TALKING TO ME?"
"OF COURSE I AM, YOU NINCOMPOOP! WHO ELSE WOULD I BE TALKING TO?"
"HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW, YOU CRAZY KID?"
Townsville park…
There is a family having a picnic in the park.
"AREN'T YOU THE EVIL VILLAIN, MOJO JOJO?" Princess asked, deliberately.
The family starts in surprise.
"WHO WANTS TO KNOW?" Mojo asked.
"I DO, YOU BUFFOON!" Princess yelled.
"I'M NOT A BABOON, YOU INSULTING TWIT!"
"I SAID, 'BUFFOON'!" Princess said, while her henchmen looked at another family, and the spoiled brat continued. "BUF-FOON!"
These people also react in surprise; the child forgets to catch a Frisbee thrown at him, and it hits him in the head.
"THAT'S IT! I DON'T NEED TO STAND HERE AND BE INSULTED BY AN INSULTER SUCH AS YOURSELF! BEGONE, YOU CHEESE PUFF!" Mojo said, turning and goes back into his lair, closing the door behind him.
Mojo's lair…
"I CAN PAY YOU A LOT OF MONEY!" Princess said, nearby.
The door quickly opens, and Mojo sticks his head out again.
"What?" Mojo asked.
"WHAT?" Princess asked.
"I SAID, 'WHAT?!'" Mojo exclaimed, groaning in disgust.
"Gee, you don't need to get angry." Princess said, looking up at the lair.
"WHAT?"
"OKAY!" Princess said, deliberately. "LISTEN, MOJO! I'M HERE TO HIRE YOU TO HELP ME…" A third family is looking on in surprise; she continues. "…DEVISE A SECRET EVIL PLOT!"
The family looked behind them toward the volcano.
"Ooooh, really?" Mojo asked, smugly. "Well, I'm VERY GOOD…" A man is eating a sandwich; he freezes in surprise as Mojo continues. "…AT EVIL PLOTS!"
Observatory…
"DUH! I KNOW!" Princess cried.
"BUT I'M NOT A GUN FOR HIRE!" Mojo said, looking down at Princess.
"BUT YOU NEED TO GIVE ME AN INGENIOUS PLOT AGAINST THE POWERPUFF GIRLS!"
"YEAH, RIGHT!" Mojo said, snickering.
There is a group of surprised onlookers watching.
"AND WHAT MAKES YOU THINK I'D DO THAT FOR YOU?" Mojo asked.
"'CAUSE...I CAN PAY YOU A LOT OF MONEY!" Princess chirped.
"Mmm...good point." Mojo said, sadly.
"WHAT?" Princess asked.
"Um…HOW MUCH ARE WE TALKING?"
"Daddy?" Princess asked.
Limousine…
Sitting in the limo's back seat, Princess' father presses a few buttons on a control unit; a panel lights up with dollar signs.
Mojo's lair…
Mojo is now looking up overhead. A shadow passes over him as the sound of a helicopter in flight is heard. A rope snaps, then the sound of something falling. A crash shakes the ground; inside, one panel of the ceiling is gone and a huge box labeled 'Morbucks Ton O' Money' sits on the floor. The helicopter flies out of sight, now relieved of this formidable cargo. Mojo turns from the open door to look at this, and the sides of the box fall away to reveal a solid block of cash. This rumbles softly and spills out to form a flood of greenbacks that reaches all the way to Mojo's feet.
Mojo is dumbfounded by this delivery; this look gives way to an evil smile that stretches from ear to ear, "I'll do it!"
"WHAT?" Princess asked, from outside.
Mojo's lab…
There is a large lighted sign conveniently marking it as such.
"Okay. Here's the plan." Mojo said, as he is hard at work, back in his usual clothes. "I'll make Chemical X to give you Powerpuff powers…" He works a DNA Sewing Machine. "…and then antidote…" There is a flask as it fills with glowing white liquid; he continues. "…to remove the Powerpuffs' powers." Mojo reaches over and picks up the flask, now full. "I've got it!"
"Finally! Okay. Give it to me. Puff me now. Puff me now!" Princess cheered.
"Patience. We still need to make the antidote." Mojo said, frowning.
Princess sits on a stool, reading a book and looking very impatient, "Well, hurry up, then!"
Wearing the sort of gloves and headset used for virtual-reality simulators, Mojo operates the Virtua-Neutron machine, twiddling his fingers in midair. Next he adjusts a holographic image of a molecule, then throws a lever back and forth while watching a second flask intently. After a few seconds, this fills with glowing orange liquid; he beams cruelly at it. It is plugged into a panel above a large minus sign. Next to it is the flask of white liquid, marked with a plus sign. The panel is part of a large weapon in Mojo's hands. An indicator needle points up at the orange flask.
Mojo addresses himself to Princess Morebucks, "Now, with this liquid-electron hypodermic laser set to positive, it will inject you with Chemical X, and, with it, all the powers of the Powerpuff Girls!"
Princess stands across the lab from Mojo, "Great, great. Now, let's get going!"
"When I switch it to negative, it will shoot an injection of antidote, sapping the power of its victims...the Powerpuff Girls!" Mojo cheered.
"Yeah, yeah. I got it, monkey boy. Shoot me now, shoot me now, Shoot me now!" Princess cried.
Mojo groans, pushes the indicator to the positive end, and takes aim. He fires, catching Princess squarely in the chest and suspending her above the floor. Her arms and legs swell up with new muscles, and she lets off a stifled roar as the effects make themselves felt.
"I FEEL THE POWER!" Princess said, dropping to the ground and fires off an eye-laser blast that melts a nearby statue—the Venus de Milo, perhaps—into stone sludge.
Mojo looks on in surprise and shock. Princess watches.
"Aw, man!" Mojo said, annoyed.
"Now, all we need to do is sap those Powerpuffs of their powers. And then I'll be the only Powerpuff power around!" Princess said, laughing evilly.
Exterior of Pokey Oaks Kindergarten…
The school bell is ringing and kids are talking.
Pokey Oaks Kindergarten…
Bubbles and Buttercup are at their desk with Blossom sitting next to Buttercup. The Girls are out of the hospital good as new, as they have made a full recovery from their injuries from the plot Mojo had, that almost had them defeated. The talking stops.
"Here." Bubbles said, happily.
"Buttercup?" Ms. Keane asked, looking at Buttercup.
"Here." Buttercup said, as Blossom is on her other side.
"Blossom?" Ms. Keane asked, looking at Blossom.
"Here." Blossom said, and there is an empty seat next to her.
"Princess?" Ms. Keane asked.
Silence. Blossom looks at the seat with some consternation.
"Princess? Wh…" Ms. Keane said, looking between Blossom and Buttercup; she continues. "…where's Princess?"
"Well, knowing Princess, she's probably…" Blossom said.
"Help!" Princess cried, nearby.
"Wait!" Blossom said, cocking her head.
Blossom cups a hand to her ear, and the sound waves radiate through the air.
Mojo's lair…
Princess is tied to a pillar in Mojo's lair. Mojo has his laser pointed at Princess.
"Using her ultrasonic hearing, Blossom picks up a distress signal." The narrator said.
"Help! I need somebody!" Princess said, terrified.
Mojo smiles at Princess.
Pokey Oaks Kindergarten…
Blossom is still listening.
"Help! Not just anybody!" Princess said, nearby.
Mojo's lair…
"Help! I need the Powerpuff Girls!" Princess said, angrily.
Pokey Oaks Kindergarten…
Blossom continues listening.
"HELP!" Princess said, nearby.
Ms. Keane and the other kids are caught off guard. Behind her: the girl who played with Twiggy in 'Stuck Up, Up and Away', Harry Pitt, Elmer Sglue.
"Oh, my. Wh—where is she?" Ms. Keane asked, looking at Blossom.
"I'm being held hostage at Mojo's." Princess said, nearby.
"Let's go!" Blossom yelled, looking at Bubbles and Buttercup.
The girls take off, scattering papers everywhere.
Mojo's lair…
The Powerpuff Girls crash in through the ceiling.
"Unhand her, Mojo Jojo!" Blossom said, angrily.
"Oh, no, Powerpuff Girls." Mojo said, in a bored tone.
They fly over to Princess. Blossom and Bubbles start untying the ropes.
"We'll save you!" Bubbles chirped.
"You're done for, Mojo!" Buttercup said, excitedly.
"Oh, dear. You've ruined my plan." Mojo said, still bored.
The girls get Princess untied.
"You're free. Let's go!" Blossom said, looking at Princess.
Blossom and Bubbles lay hold of Princess to carry her away and start to fly off. However, they find themselves carrying nothing but air; they stop short and turn back to her.
"What the—?" The girls asked, at the same time.
"Hey, look!" Bubbles cried.
"Thanks for being the heroes, but there ain't enough room in this town…" Princess said, looking at the girls; she continues. "…for 'four' Powerpuff Girls!"
"One, two, three…Hey!" Bubbles said, counting on her 'fingers'. "There's only 'three' Powerpuff Girls!"
"Not anymore!" Princess said, floating into the air.
Bubbles gasps, shocked.
"It's a trap!" Blossom yelled.
"Get her!" Buttercup said, angrily.
The girls charge at Princess and start pounding on her, but the blows have no effect. After a few seconds, Princess grabs Bubbles and uses her to swat the other two away, then throws her after them. The girls sail across the lab.
"Whoo-hoo!" Mojo cheered.
"I think it's time to heat things up!" Buttercup said, slamming her hands together and begins to rub them against each other as if trying to start a fire with two sticks.
Smoke and sparks rise from Buttercup's arms, and a fireball bursts forth.
Buttercup pulls it back over her head, "Eat this!"
Buttercup lets fly; the fireball sails toward Princess, who is sucking in a huge breath. She inhales the whole thing, struggles with it a moment, and spits back a huge cloud of gray smoke. The girls, covered with soot, cough and choke as the fumes hover around them.
"Atsa spicy meatball!" Princess said, in an Italian accent, kissing her fingers.
"Then...try choking down a little thunder!" Bubbles said, coughing.
Bubbles claps her hands, creating a shock wave that travels across the lab. Every piece of glassware in its path shatters into dust. Princess swings her fist in a circle in front of her and generates a small whirlwind; it flies out from her and runs into the shock wave. The two cancel each other out. Bubbles gasps in disbelief.
"Ha!" Mojo said, watching what is happening. "Faced!"
Blossom is shuffling one foot back and forth on the carpet.
"Hmm." Blossom said, looking at Princess. "Not afraid of thunder, huh?"
Blossom touches her hands together, and sparks fly between them. She rises into the air.
"How about some lightning?" Blossom asked.
At the end of this line, Blossom pulls her hands back over her head and points them ahead. A huge lightning bolt shoots forth. Princess, also in midair, is ready for the attack.
"I'll give it a whirl!" Princess said, spinning in place, reaching a rotation speed that would surely hit the red line on any car's tachometer, and creates a boundary layer of air around herself.
The lightning bends around Princess, following the contour of the layer, and finds its ground in Mojo. He ends up medium well done, collapsed on the floor and groaning weakly.
"You idiot!" Princess cried, looking at Mojo. "Get them with the laser!" Mojo stares back at Princess, she continues. "Now!"
Mojo struggles to lift his weapon. The girls, ready for another go—Buttercup most of all.
"Laser? I ain't afraid of no laser!" Buttercup said, smirking.
Mojo pulls the laser's indicator to negative.
"Shoot, you idiot!" Princess said, worried.
Mojo puts his eye to the scope and steadies his aim. With the girls; Blossom gasps sharply. Blossom sees and she looked over at a label on the weapon and she looked down slowly. This is Blossom's perspective, magnified with the help of her microscopic vision.
"'Special liquid-electron gun specially designed for shooting the antidote of Chemical X at the Powerpuff Girls and eliminating their powers'"?!" Blossom exclaimed, reading the label.
As Blossom finishes, the last four words are highlighted and she blinks.
"That's what Jared was warning us about before we left for school." Blossom said, her eyes widening. "That weapon. Something about mirrors. And Mojo teaming up with Princess."
Buttercup is behind Blossom. The action shifts to ULTRA SLOW MOTION.
"No! Buttercup!" Blossom said, terrified.
"Shoot!" Princess said, looking at Mojo.
Mojo pulls the trigger, and a blast of orange light issues from the muzzle. Blossom ducks out of its way and watches it pass her.
"Whoo-hoo!" Princess cooed.
Now Bubbles dodges the shot. It continues through the air; Blossom dashes after it. Buttercup, meanwhile, stays in place, pounding her chest and roaring, unaware of what is heading her way. Blossom pulls neck and neck with the beam.
"Yeah!..." Princess said, her face falling. "No!"
Blossom flies towards Buttercup and carries her out of the path of the beam just in time. The action returns to normal speed as the wall behind her is blasted. The two girls fly across the lab in front of Princess, who addresses herself to Mojo.
"You missed! Hit 'em! Hit 'em! Hit 'em!" Princess cried.
"Girls! Don't let the laser hit you!" Blossom said, looking at Bubbles and Buttercup.
Mojo begins firing in all directions, and each girl dodges a shot. As he keeps shooting, they fly around the lab but are brought up short by two shots. Darting in a new direction, they hit the brakes once again and fly away. Princess is in the background; a blast slams into the wall very close to her.
Princess regards the hole with great anger and yells at Mojo, "Watch it! You're gonna hit me! Hit them! Hit them!"
"I'm trying! I'm trying!" Mojo said, firing several shots.
The girls again dodge one shot each; the last one, which Buttercup avoids, sails past her down the length of the lab.
"Huh?" Princess asked.
The beam continues its flight.
"Uh?" Mojo asked.
The beam enters the bathroom.
Bathroom…
The beam ricochets off the tile walls several times before finally connecting with the toilet and blowing it up. Water fountains from the broken pipe.
Mojo's lair…
Mojo groans loudly and slaps his forehead at this huge misfire that wrecked his plumbing. With the girls, Blossom watched what is happening. Bubbles and Buttercup gasp in surprise. On Blossom's face, an idea has just hit her.
"Aha!" Blossom said, zipping away.
Bathroom…
There is a tile on the bathroom wall. Blossom reaches over and pulls it loose. Two more tiles are wrenched away, and she flies back into the lab.
Mojo's lair…
"So this is what Jared meant by mirrors." Blossom said, throwing two tiles at Bubbles and Buttercup. "Reflect pattern Omega!"
"Got it!" Buttercup said, catching a tile.
Mojo gets ready for another shot.
Princess looks at the girls, then back toward Mojo with worry spreading on her face, "No, you buffoon!"
Mojo pays no heed, firing a blast that knocks him off his feet with the recoil. It sails through the air and bounces off the tiles, one in the hands of each girl. The redirected beam continues unchecked; Princess is trying desperately to keep ahead of it and failing. The action shifts to slow motion.
"No!" Princess said, her voice trailing off into a scream as the beam connects with her, and she tumbles to the ground, her tiara falling off her head as she tumbles.
Mojo is looking up for a long moment; we are back at normal speed.
"Newman." Mojo said, smiling strangely.
Princess falls on Mojo. The laser is knocked out of Mojo's hands, away. There is a crash; there was the remains of the weapon on the floor and the chemicals leaking out, rendering it harmless. Mojo has Princess lying unconscious on top of him; he screams in anger.
(Jared's POV)
Prison…
"So, my hint about the mirrors worked." I said, snacking on some jelly babies.
"It did." Blossom said, happily.
"How did you know the mirror thing would work?" Buttercup asked, looking at me.
Mojo is in a prison cell, still screaming, and the girls, the Professor, and I are standing outside.
"Got some inspiration." I said, smiling. "From the Doctor. Instead of mirrors, I used a laser beam to recharge my vortex manipulator and teleport away."
"That's cool." Bubbles said, giggling. "It's back to jail for you, Mr. Monkey Man!"
Princess is in the next cell. The girls turn to address her.
"And as for you…" Blossom sad, looking at Princess. "...it should be punishment enough to have known Puff and lost it, than to have never Puffed at all."
"Really?" Princess asked, looking at the girls.
"Yeah, but you can do some hard time anyway, sucker!" Buttercup said, smugly.
"Ooo. Sick burn, Buttercup." I said, looking over at Buttercup
Princess groans, then I looked back at all six of them. Hot steam appears on an angry Mojo's head; the family and I laughs; our laughter is drowned out by the Narrator's words.
"Oh, Buttercup, you are one cold mama!" The narrator said, angrily.
(Open POV)
The standard end shot comes up.
"So once again, the day is saved—thanks to the Powerpuff Girls!" The narrator cooed.
The End!
We'll see you again soon!
