Kingdom of the Cursed Mask

chapter 6

The stone monster roared aggressively and started to chase after the Powerpuff Girls, K'Nuckles, and Numbuh 2. Blossom ran and looked all around, trying to think of a plan to save her and the others. She then saw a pillar which immediately gave her an idea.

"Bubbles, knock down that pillar!" the red-headed girl commanded, being the leader and all. "I'll distract it!" she then rushed to one corner to face the obstacle that could kill them if successful. "Hey, come and get me!"

The stone monster fell for her distraction and started to go after her just as planned. He kept trying to strike her on the ground, but had missed.

Blossom jumped up from the punch and ran up his arm and hopped onto the monster's face. "Incoming!"

The monster growled, trying to get her off his face.

Meanwhile, Bubbles, Numbuh 2, and K'Nuckles tried to use teamwork to knock down the pillar since Bubbles's strength was not what it used to be. Buttercup then jumped up, bounced against the wall, and cracked the stone pillar.

The pillar wobbled and started to fall down. Blossom saw this as her chance to jump off the stone monster's face and landed on the ground as the pillar was now crashing down on the monster and slammed him flat on the floor.

"Good job, Blossom!" Bubbles smiled. "That was a good idea!"

"Yeah, but we still don't know what happened with our powers." Buttercup added with a slight scoff.

"That's a mystery for me too," Blossom answered, the one question she could not find a solution for. "But first, let's help Dick and Muttley."

"All right, just hurry," Numbuh 2 urged. "I don't want to meet another monster here."

However, before anyone could move, the floor was cracking up. It then broke all the way and they were all falling through the floor in agonizing misfortune.

"Not again!" K'nuckles yelped.

"How deeper can we fall?" Numbuh 2 groaned.

Later...

"How long have we been falling?" Buttercup grew annoyed.

"About an hour and a half." Numbuh 2 muttered.

"I guess then we'll reach the bottom of this pit soon."

"I hope not," Blossom disagreed. "Considering how long we've been falling and the acceleration, when we reach the bottom, we'll be good as pancakes."

"Is there a chance she's wrong?" Buttercup grew nervous of that possibility.

"Maybe there is water at the bottom?" Numbuh 2 suggested.

"We're almost 98,000 feet above the surface now," Blossom declined. "Now, if there's water at the bottom, it's probably boiling."

"Thanks, Blossom!" Buttercup angrily deadpanned. "That really made my day!"

"Wow, look at this!" Bubbles chirped at the new sight joining them. "Liquid Pearls!"

"Water drops." Numbuh 2 corrected.

"Please don't boil." Buttercup grumbled.

"Let's hope the water is thick enough." Blossom said.

"SPIKES!" K'Nuckles pointed down below in a panic.

They kept falling and were nearly about to hit the ground now. They finally landed and ended up splashing and they managed to miss the sharp and painfully pointy rocks.
