The Fan

A/N: Last chapter. I wanna thank everyone who was kind enough to review. Thank you all! Out of all my fanfics I think I like this one the most. Enjoy!



"Girls? Girls!" Blossom moaned as she was shaken from her slumber, opening her eyes to stare at Ms. Bellum. "Blossom, your okay!"

"Mmmm...of course I'm fine," Blossom muttered, her eyes bugging as realization suddenly set in. "I feel better than fine!" She leapt to her feet, blasting Bellum's desk with her eyebeams. "My powers are back!" She stared at the demolished furniture, smiling innocently. "Oopsie."

Ms. Bellum grinned. "Don't worry about it." She studied her surroundings. Him's lair had simply vanished into thin air, being returned to the office it once was. "If your powers are back...." She turned to stare at Buttercup as the green puff sat up.

"Are we dead?" Buttercup glanced around curiously.

"We're very much alive!" Ms. Bellum said. "Blossom has her powers back. I think you do too!"

"Bloss?" Buttercup stared at her sister, who had kept her back to Buttercup. She stood, walking over to Blossom, reaching out and putting a comforting hand on her shoulder. "B-Bloss.....um....about....um...well what I mean to say is...."

"Dad!" Blossom cried out, turning to run to Utonium as he flew down into the room.

Buttercup sighed, knowning that she and Blossom would probably never look at each other the same way agian.

"Girls!" Utonium nearly toppled over when Blossom flew into his arms, literally. "Are you alright? Are any of you hurt?"

"Just fine!" Blossom turned, giving Buttercup a look. "Right, Buttercup?"

Buttercup walked up to her father and sister, hugging Utonium tightly. "Yeah, just fine." She stared at Blossom, Blossom stared back, and Utonium was oblivious to the interaction for he was just glad to see his daughters again.

"Oh...don't mind....me," Bellum muttered sarcastically, limping towards them. "I'm perfectly fine."

"We had better get that arm checked out." Utonium smiled at her. "Nice to see you agian, Sarah."

"I take it that Lenny is gone?" Ms. Bellum leaned agianst a wall.

"Indeed." Utonium grinned. "And you won't believe who helped me." The Rowdyruff Boys chose that moment to make their entrance, receiving shocked glances from all three females.

"Hey, I don't see the Powerpuff Girls anywhere!" Butch shouted, looking around.

"Yeah, just a bunch of old people!" Brick replied, eliciting laughs from his brothers. Buttercup was towering over the kindergartners in miliseconds.

"Who ya calling old, ya bunch of brats!" She seethed. "I am a Powerpuff Girl...just um....older!"

"Wow!" Boomer whistled.

"Hey!" Blossom shouted, getting everyone's attention. "Where's Bubbles!?"

"God, I completely forgot!" Utonium replied.

"Last time we saw her she was heading towards the beach with Him," Butch said.

Blossom and Buttercup were already out of the building, flying towards ocean. Utonium scopped Ms. Bellum into his arms. "Let's get you to a hospital."

Townsville was so close, but to Bubbles it might as well been a continent away. The last of her phenomenal powers were gone, leaving Bubbles in her normal appearnce. She was gradually declining in altitude, fighting with everything she had to stay afloat. *I feel so heavy. Can't.....go.....* Her eyes closed and she went spiraling towards the Earth below. *Hmm....I should of hit the ground by now.* Bubbles thought, forcing her eyes open she realized what had stopped her from hitting the ground. "Blossom....B-Buttercup...your okay!" she replied hoarsely.

"Thanks to you," Blossom said, smiling.

"Yeah, you faced Him all by yourself!" Buttercup exclaimed. "Real hardcore!"

"Let's go home." Blossom replied, carrying Bubbles off towards Townsville as the dark clouds that had loomed overhead began to disperse, giving way to the bathing light of the sun.

"Home," Bubbles whispered before drifting off.


Lenny had crawled from the tons of concrete that had buried him, seeking solace in the sewers. Almost every part of his body was covered in lacerations and bruises, and he limped down the dark tunnel blindly because of the blood that seeped from the wound on his forehead. "My girls...my girls....I lost my girls...." he muttered. He staggered a few more steps before slipping and falling on his face, groaning loudly. He never noticed the crimson mist drifting towards him, seeping into every pore in his flesh. "AAAAUUUUGH!!" His body broke into violent spams, flailing his arms and legs wildly until his body ceased. It was a minute of tense silence before Lenny sat up, smiling a most mischievious smile. "I underestimated that Bubbles!" his voice had groan lighter, almost feminine. "Well no matter." He stood, his wounds miraculously healing. "I'll get them yet. Even if I have to wait ten more years!" With that said "Lenny" disappeared down the dark tunnel. His echoing laughter ringing throughout the sewers.

That was the most dangerous thing about Him. Patience. He was like cancer, lying dormant for days, months, even years before striking. Him was eternal, existing since the dawn of man. He was immortal. He had all the time in the world.

END


A/N: Wait! That can't be it! There are so many questions left unanswered. What of the Rowdyruffs? What about Mojo? What about Him/Lenny? What about Blossom and Buttercup!? Will what took place in that room be revealed to Utonium and Bubbles? Why is the sky blue? Why did the chicken cross the road? Who shot J.R.? Will I ever stop asking these annoying questions? What is the meaning of life? All these questions and more answered on the sequel: The Rival. Coming..sooner or later. Probably later.
