Headnote: In this act, those who died to save Timon's life in Act Two will soon become resurrected by Frieza's new special power. But what is this special power of his? We'll find out soon when you read this act of the fic.
Act Three
(Opening Scene: The battlefield, where Mr. Friend's shadow still looms over the surviving warriors.
Mr. Friend: (voice over) Now that nine of your team is gone, you will soon see that they will be turned into inanimate toys that'll never talk back... or not. Oh, and I know you're about to have some company.
Blossom: (horrified) H-h-how do you know?
Brick: (ditto) Yeah, what she said!
(Cut to Mr. Friend, who is still smiling evily.)
Mr. Friend: I just know, because I've heard from my future self.
Timon: (thinking) He has talked to himself from the future? That's why Armadillamingkat has come to warn us.
Narrator: And what's worse, you guys will be turned to toys if the Icejin whom you now trust can't come in time!
(They, including Mr. Friend, who gets a little irritated, turn toward the camera--the rest surprised-- as soon as he speaks.
Mr. Friend: Will you just SHUT UP?!
Narrator: I already know how the story goes, but I'd rather not tell it right now.
Mr. Friend: (sighing in relief) That's better. Now where was I? Oh yeah. (in sheer evil) I'm going to turn you into toys; what used to be a girl, some animals, and a boy.
Brick: That doesn't even rhyme or make sence!
(Fade to a puddle of water, which gets run over by a white clad lizard foot--Frieza's. The icejin, still running and wearing the expression of anger, is coming.)
Frieza: (thinking) I'm coming, Bubbles. I now get the reason why you kissed me earlier. It's because of pure love. (aloud) Now it's time for me to return the favor, by fighting Mr. Friend and avenging you.
(He takes a leap and raises an arm.)
Frieza: MR. FRIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNND!!!
(Cut to the survivors, now hugging and wearing about-to-be-killed expressions. Taz and Timon open their eyes and glow the same colors they glowed in at Act One.)
Taz: Did you hear that?
Timon: Yeah, it sounded like--
Blossom, Brick: Frieza?
Mr. Friend: (smiling, thinking) Perfect. Another toy to add to my collection of the fallen.
(Frieza is leaping down, wearing a very angry expression, lands on his feet in front of the four, bends on one knee, and holds his head down.)
Frieza: I have come to you at last, and it's good to see the rest of you alive. (raising head) But it won't be good for Mr. Friend once I eliminate him from the picture.
(He stands, glowing red, and clenching fists. Taz and Timon stand with him, still glowing. Blossom and Brick hover over them, wearing vengeful expressions.)
Silhouette: (voice over) Amazing.
(The figure watches the battle from another location, and it has a projection screen too.)
Silhouette: The Icejin, the marsupial, and the meerkat have three powers, that's why they're glowing.
(Cut to a red silhouette of Frieza, with the kanji for fire displaying behind him.)
Silhouette: (voice over) The power of fire.
(Fade to a blue silhouette of Taz, with the kanji for water displaying behind him.)
Silhouette: (voice over) The power of water.
(Fade to a green silhouette of Timon, with the kanji for earth displaying behind him.)
Silhouette: (voice over) And the power of earth.
(Cut to the figure, still watching the screen.)
Silhouette: Posess one, and you should use it well. Weild three, and you should become even powerful.
(Back to the battlefield, with a shocked and shaking Mr. Friend.)
Mr. Friend: What's going on?!
(Frieza, Taz, and Timon stop glowing.)
Frieza: (even more angrier) You bastard. You bastard. I should've done this a long time ago. How dare you medal in my affairs? I HATE YOU!!
(He raises his arms and prepares to attack the toy, connecting his hands to shoot a giant laser.)
Tommy: (voice over, in the distance) Frieza, stop!
(Frieza stops short, groaning in confusion.)
Frieza: (drop of sweat following) Uh-oh.
(Frieza drops his arms in confusion.)
Frieza: (head over sholder) What's going on, Thomas?
(Tommy is not only standing on a cliff, probably the same one Frieza leaped off earlier in the act. Chuckie and Angelica have joined him.)
Tommy: There's something you need to know. You shouldn't harm him. Only then would my dad try to rebuild him.
Chuckie: Every villain's got to have a weak spot.
Angelica: It's the battery compartment on his back.
Frieza: (irked) Battery compartment?! What's that got to do with anything?
Tommy: Trust me, Frieza. It's the only way.
Frieza: (long silence for a few seconds, after which knowing Tommy could be right) All right. I'll get right to that.
Tommy: (voice over) Wait.
Frieza: What is it?
Tommy: (giving a thumb up) Do it for Bubbles.
Frieza: (also giving a thumb up) Perfect. Consider it done.
(Cut to Brick.)
Frieza: (voice over) You alright, Brink?
Brick: (yelling back) Does it look like I'm alright?! My brothers are gone and you didn't come in time! Damn! This is our revenge! And my name is Brick, you bastard!
Blossom: (voice over) Shut up, Brick! We're in this together.
(Brick takes a little groan. Pull back to frame Blossom, still hovering with him.)
Blossom: We need to join up and stop Mr. Friend.
Brick: All right. Thanks, Blossom. I feel much better.
Frieza: And Mr. Friend's the one who's the bastard, so we need to join forces and take those batteries out of him.
Mr. Friend: (voice over) You fools!
(Cut to the now-ready-to-fight toy, clenching fists. This music comes on.)
Mr. Friend: You honestly think you can defeat me? And Tommy Pickles, you've destroyed my kin, so this will be my revenge! When I get done with these five, I'm taking you, too!
Tommy: Sorry, Mr. Friend, but that's not gonna happen.
Chuckie: Yeah. There's no way you're going to turn Tommy into a toy.
Angelica: That's right. I thought you were a neat toy when I found you.
Mr. Friend: You poor things. Rise and shine, you sleepy-heads; you'll get enough sleep when you're dead.
Frieza: (voice over) You'd better get yourself some new rhymes because yours are not educational. (Cut to him.) Hate to dissapoint you, Mr. Friend; but it looks like this tyrany shall end.
Mr. Friend: That's not educa--
(He gets punched by Timon.)
Timon: This is for my friends and family!
(Taz is next to punch the toy.)
Taz: This is for the girls and boys!
(Frieza lands behind Mr. Friend, now bruised.)
Frieza: And this is for Bubbles!
(He opens the battery compartment and takes the batteries out of him.)
Mr. Friend: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
(Mr. Friend shrinks back to size and falls. The music ends.)
Tommy: (raising his hands up in the air with joy) Hooray!
Chuckie: Mr. Friend is defeated!
Angelica: It's back to the toy chest for you, you un-grateful toy!
Tommy: Way to go, Frieza! (concerned) Frieza?
(The character in question hangs his head.)
Frieza: Bubbles. Armadillamingkat. The rest who gave their lives up. (raising his head, with eyes getting teary) There shouldn't be any cheering!
(The others, except for the All Grown Up Rugrats, hang their heads, too. Cut to each in turn.)
Timon: Pumbaa. Tatiana. Armadillamingkat. Meersnakeskin. Warratduck.
Blossom: Bubbles. Buttercup.
Brick: Boomer. Butch.
Taz: They gave their lives away to save us.
Tommy: But what about the Dragon Ring?
Chuckie: Yeah. I heard it can grant a wish once every twenty-four hours.
Angelica: Why don't you use it to bring back those who died in this battle.
Frieza: (voice over) No. The Dragon Ring won't work.
Angelica: Huh?
(Cut to the reason why: it has been turned to stone, and Armadillamingkat, still wearing it, was its guardian.)
Frieza: (voice over) Armadillamingkat was the ring's guardian. Without him, the ring becomes useless and turns to stone. (Cut to him, still crying tears.) Now there's nothing to bring Bubbles back!
(He groans in sadness. Back to the AGU Rugrats, now feeling defeated and hanging their heads. Cut to a close up of Frieza's feet, with a puddle of his tears in front of them. Another of his tears drops, and nine orbs of light get produced from the puddle. Said orbs hover toward the nine dead warriors, and produce sparkles of light on them. Close-up of Bubbles, who awakens--she has been resurrected, thanks to Frieza's Icejin tears.)
Bubbles: (moaning) Friezy-Wiezy.
(This raises Frieza's head in concern and confusion.)
Frieza: Bubbles? You're alive?
(Cut to the AGU Rugrats, also raising their heads in confusion. The other dead warriors wake up, moaning.)
Timon: (coming in) Friends? Family?
Pumbaa: Hey, Timon.
Tatiana: I don't understand.
Armadillamingkat, Meersnakeskin: Neither do we, Mom.
(Blossom and Brick also come in.)
Blossom: But how can this be?
Brick: You guys were dead.
(Back to Frieza.)
Frieza: (brightening) Bubbles! I thought you were lost forever!
(Cut to the silhouette's lair--the inhabitant has been watching the resurrection.)
Silhouette: Incredible. Icejin tears have the power to resurrect those who've recently been avenged. (walking away) I'll have to congratulate Frieza for that.
(Cut to a rockslide area, where Tommy, Chuckie and Angelica, happy, walk down on to the battlefield.)
Tommy: It's a miracle.
Chuckie: They're alive.
Angelica: I never thought I'd see the day.
(Cut to Frieza's right hand, still holding the batteries--this is his perspective.)
Frieza: For the first time in my life... (Cut to show his face, now full of happiness.) ...I actually did something right for a change. I saved the lives of kind-hearted people.
Silhouette: (voice over) Good work, Frieza Cold.
Frieza: (confused) Huh? Who said that?
Silhouette: (voice over) Up here.
(Frieza turns his head to the right, looking up. Cut to the silhouetted figure.)
Silhouette: You came through and switched to the side of good. Thanks to you, the world is safe again.
(Cut to the rest of the group, also looking up in confusion.)
Tommy: Who are you?
(Back to the silhouetted figure.)
Silhouette: I'll reveal my identity when the time comes. Right now, you should be congratulating Frieza for saving the world.
(They turn their heads to Frieza, who then smiles to them.)
Timon: Thanks to you, Frieza, for bringing Pumbaa and Tatiana back.
Blossom: And for saving the lives of my sisters.
Brick: And my brothers.
Frieza: (ditching the batteries away) Weren't nothing, really. (turning around) Well, I guess I better be going home and--
Armadillamingkat: Don't even think about it.
Frieza: (sighing) Okay, what's going on?
Blossom: Since you saved us, you'd probably stay at a new location.
Armadillamingkat: We want your Saiyan adversary, Son-Goku, to think you're dead.
Frieza: The Saiyan's name is Son-Goku, huh? Well, where do you want me to stay instead?
Blossom: How about the forest?
Frieza: Well, all right.
Bubbles: (coming closer to him, giggling) Oh, Friezy-Wiezy, you're so sweet.
(She gives him a kiss on the cheek like before, and Frieza may feel a bit uneasy at first. After Bubbles flies away, Frieza feels loved and right at home.)
Frieza: (thinking, in an Elvis-type voice) Thank you. Thank you very much.
(Fade to the battlefield at midnight, and a giant silhouette-type horned figure, with a maroon cape, comes in. He picks up the still battery-less Mr. Friend. The figure smiles.)
Giant Silhouette: So, it seems as if my son has turned over a new leaf. No matter. I may send my minions to find him, but not right now. (putting Mr. Friend out of view) Even though he betrayed me, I cannot fight my son. Watch out, Planet Earth, because there's a new powerful and evil being in the universe, and his name is--
(The figure sounds a bit like Antauri of the Super Robot Monkey Team Hyper Force Go! Zoom in to show this figure as King Cold, Frieza's father.)
King Cold: --King Korodo Cold!
(Fade to black.)
Epilogue
(Cut to Blossom, holding a gold-plated medalion with a darker-gold stripe. This music comes in.)
Blossom: Please, kneel.
(Cut to who she's talking to, Frieza, and he does what she says.)
Blossom: (putting the medalion around his neck) Frieza, for saving the lives of my sisters and defeating Mr. Friend, I hereby make you an honorary member of our team.
(She flies back to her sisters. Tommy, Angelica, Timon, Pumbaa, Tatiana, Taz, Armadillamingkat, Meersnakeskin, and Warratduck have been given sweaters with colored stripes on them--they, too, have been given the right to become honorary members. The rest, standing and watching the medalion-wearing Icejin, are Chuckie and the Rowdyruff Boys. The little silhouetted figure is a bit far away and also watching this ceremony.)
Frieza: (normal voice) Thank you. It is an honor to be welcomed into Townsville.
Silhouette: (coming closer) Glad to hear it. (The rest turn their eyes toward him.) It's time I revealed my identity. My name is--
(Zoom in to show him in full: A dark-blonde-haired boy with a red sweater, a pair of blue jeans, and a pair of brown shoes.)
Figure: --JRuff. I have witnessed yesterday's battle through a giant flat-screen television, and I made a truly-astonishing discovery. Three of you each contain a power that belongs to an intergalactic legend known as Hail, the ten-thousand-year-old Icejin.
(Cut to each character he states in turn.)
JRuff: (voice over) Timon, you contain Hail's Earth power. Taz, you contain his power of water. And Frieza bears the power of fire.
(Cut back to him.)
JRuff: Use these powers well and wisely. Thank you and good luck.
(He flies away. They watch him go.)
Frieza: There goes a very knowledgeable young man. Thank you, JRuff.
(Fade to the group, now on top of one of Townsville's skyscrapers.)
Armadillamingkat: Well, I think it's time for Meersnakeskin, Warratduck and I to head back to our own time. I guess you can alter the past after all.
(Close-up of him.)
Armadillamingkat: Father, you take care of Mother, okay?
(Timon hugs his son.)
Timon: I will, Armie. Thank you, my son.
(Cut to Pumbaa, who gives his son a hug.)
Pumbaa: You be careful, okay son?
Warratduck: I will, ahuck!
(Tatiana holds her daughter's hand.)
Tatiana: Bye, Meersnakeskin.
Meersnakeskin: It was nice to see you, Mom.
(The blue portal comes in and the three mutant animals jump into it. Tommy, Chuckie, Angelica, the girls, the boys, Frieza, Timon, Pumbaa, Tatiana, and Taz wave goodbye to them. The mutant animals wave back at them as the portal slowly disappears.)
Timon: It was kind of nice for me to know my son.
Pumbaa: And it's good to breathe a new life, Timon.
Blossom: But one question still remains, guys. Will we ever see them again?
(Cut to the exterior of the skyscraper.)
Narrator: I sure hope so. But what you guys don't know is that King Cold has been resurrected and headed to this time period.)
(The background for the Powerpuff end shot comes up.)
Narrator: Let's just hope that the day is saved--
(The girls appear in their secondary poses--the same poses they were in since "Substitute Creature.")
Narrator: --Thanks to the Powerpuff Girls--
(The boys appear in their counterparts' primary poses.)
Narrator: --The Rowdyruff Boys--
(Frieza, Taz and Timon also appear in the girls' primary poses: Frieza in the center, Taz on the left and Timon on the right.)
Narrator: --Timon, Taz, and Frieza! Now's the time to say goodbye; Let's hope you'll again drop by.
(The music ends.)
The End
