Townsville…
There is the city skyline in the afternoon.
"The city of Townsville…" The narrator said, as he continues, at ground level, and through the earth's layers.
Professor's lab…
"…cannot be seen from the windowless laboratory of the Powerpuff Girls' suburban home. Nevertheless, it is in this dim den where the brightest of births took place—the creation of the Powerpuff Girls! Every afternoon, Professor Utonium returns to this subterranean lab to continue his noodling with nature." The narrator said, and the door opens. "Oh! Here he comes now."
Humming to himself, the Professor descends the stairs, walks to a desk, and lights a match to get his pipe going. At the far wall, there are the shadows of him and the desk is cast large. He is leaning back in his chair. Behind him, the shadow of a long-handled mallet falls onto the wall and aligns itself with his head. The shadow descends; there is a flash of light and hear the Professor grunt briefly in surprise and pain. When the light clears, the shadows of him and his chair are lying on the floor and being dragged away.
The door is now closed again. It opens suddenly.
"Professor!" Bubbles yelled, from the hall.
At the stairs, Bubbles flies down, with Buttercup close behind and smacking her repeatedly with a sadistic smile on her face as she does.
"Buttercup's hitting me!" Bubbles said, angrily.
"I am not!" Buttercup yelled.
"Girls, stop!" Blossom said, flying downstairs.
The girls are at the bottom of the stairs and they gasp in shock. Across the lab, some smashed glassware and the Professor's pipe are there. Buttercup has stopped smacking Bubbles at this point.
"Professor?" The girls asked, while Jared walked down the stairs.
"Jared? Where's the Professor?" Blossom asked.
"He's somewhere." Jared said, tossing a chocolate chip cookie into his mouth.
"Where'd he go?!" Bubbles exclaimed.
Jared comforts Bubbles as the blonde starts crying, "There there, Bubbles. Everything is going to be okay."
Blossom: "Look for clues. Quick!" Blossom said, worried.
Blossom and Buttercup zip away. They fly back and forth across the lab as Bubbles sadly approaches the desk. On it are the pipe, a burning notepad—set on fire by the ashes—and a sheet of paper. Bubbles picks up the pipe and regards it for a long moment, during which the fire goes out, then notices the sheet.
"Hey…" Bubbles said, picking up the sheet, the others stopped behind her. "…could this be a clue?"
The sheet is very long, almost a scroll. Blossom and Buttercup look over her shoulders.
"It is a clue." Jared said, walking over to read the top end of the note and at all the text. "Let me read this." He began reading the note, having experience reading notes upside down after all of his adventures. "'Dear Powerpuff Girls, I have kidnapped Professor Utonium! I have taken him someplace against his will! If you look for him in the spots he likes to be, you will not find him! He's with me, but not by choice! I took him and he didn't like it! This message is from, and was written by, Mojo Jojo'."
Bubbles is shrugging in bewilderment, "Who could have done this?"
Blossom and Buttercup glare at Bubbles in disgust from behind her back over her moment of stupidity over how obvious Mojo made it clear he was the Professor's kidnapper. She does not see them, though—she is thinking very hard.
"Let's roll!" Blossom said, as she and Buttercup take off.
Bubbles, surprised, follows her sister.
Mojo's lair…
"Oh, Mojo Jojo, what are you up to this time?" The narrator asked.
The Professor is clamped down spread-eagle inside.
"Oh, Mojo Jojo…" The Professor said, looking at Mojo. "…what are you up to this time?"
The Professor is attached to a wall upside down. Mojo has his back to him.
"You'll find out soon enough." Mojo said, as he has his hand cup to his ear, to hear the sound of the girls approaching. "Oh! In fact, you'll find out right…about…" The girls crash in through the ceiling. "…now!"
"If you've hurt the Professor…" Blossom said.
"Why, girls, I'm insulted. Do you really think I would harm…my own father?!" Mojo exclaimed, in a hurt tone.
The entire family is taken aback by this.
"What?!" Blossom exclaimed.
"What?!" Bubbles exclaimed.
"What?!" The Professor exclaimed.
"Whatchu talkin' about, Mojo?!" Buttercup exclaimed.
"I wasn't born a supervillain chimp with an oversize brain, you know." Mojo said, sadly.
Professor's lab…
There is a happy-looking monkey wearing a diaper, with a pink face very similar to Mojo's, in a science lab.
"Evil geniuses are made, not born." Mojo said, as a voice over, with the Professor at his mixing bowl. "And it was Professor Utonium and Jared Shay who made me what I am today." The monkey peeks over the edge of the table. "I was once Jojo, the Professor's faithful lab assistant and one of Jared's faithful companions."
Jojo reaches up with a test tube. The Professor embraced him lovingly.
"We were very happy together, until…" Mojo said, as a voiceover.
The smashing of the flask of Chemical X and subsequent spill into the pot, the explosion—which throws Jojo across the room—and the girls floating above the table.
"…you three came along!" Mojo said, as a voiceover, while the top of Jojo's skull is gone, and his brain is exposed. "The blast of chemicals that created you also affected me as well." His brain swells. "My simple simian brain began to mutate and grow."
Jojo is reading a volume of quantum physics; his face has now assumed its green tint. Books are stacked up behind him.
"And although the accident had caused an increase in my intelligence…" Mojo said, as a voiceover.
Townsville…
The sound of a girl in flight is heard, and a shadow falls over Mojo.
Utonium Residence…
Blossom is holding a couch up so the Professor can vacuum under it.
"…I was completely overshadowed by your tremendous physical powers!" Mojo said, as a voiceover.
Professor's lab…
The Professor holds a piece of glass with a pair of tongs while Buttercup melts it down with her eye lasers. Mojo is hunched over in the background and working intently on something.
"Next to these superhuman strengths…" Mojo said, as a voiceover, as he holds up a Tinkertoy model of the DNA molecule; another piece of glass slides into view in front of him. "…my brilliant accomplishments went unnoticed."
The glass melted down, and Jojo's face fell. He sadly tosses the model away. Jojo ran along, carrying a test tube.
"Plus there was nothing I could do…" Mojo said, as a voiceover, and it is whisked out of his hand; with the Professor and Bubbles, who holds the tube up to him. "…to compete with your girlish charms."
The Professor and Jared are hugging Bubbles and Jojo turns down to his feet. Jojo stands by him, slumped over and looking very dejected.
Utonium Residence…
The Professor, the girls, and Jared at the living room window, laughing over something, and Jojo looking in from outside. During the next line, Jojo turns away sadly and walks away, a bundle slung on a stick over his shoulder.
"I was left with only one choice." Mojo said, as a voiceover.
As Mojo continues, the monkey suits up in today's outfit, piece by piece. The helmet, or 'brain cap', is set in place to cover the exposed gray matter. As he speaks, his voice grows in increasing fury and hatred.
"To dedicate my life to crushing you and the world that loves you! It is on that day that Jojo became…" Mojo said, as a voiceover.
Mojo's lair…
"…MOJO JOJO!" Mojo yelled.
Each girl in turn are quite shocked.
"What?!" Blossom exclaimed.
"What?!" Buttercup exclaimed.
"I don't believe it! We had our very own pet monkey?" Bubbles asked, and the others glare at her again.
The girls fly up to the Professor.
"Is it true, Professor?" Blossom asked.
"Well, I do remember a lab monkey named Jojo, but the rest is…uh…well, actually, I don't remember much before you girls brightened my life." The Professor said, sadly. "And I bet Jared doesn't remember much before you girls brightened his life too."
"You see?! That's what I'm talking about! It's always the girls. Never poor Jojo." Mojo said, crying.
The Professor addresses Jojo from behind his back, "Jojo, I feel horrible. If there's some way I could make it up to you…"
"Well, there is one way." Mojo said, sniffling.
The Professor is released from his restraints, and the girls catch him before he can fall to the floor. They set him down next to Mojo; he straightens his tie and seems quite at ease. Suddenly, the monkey points at him angrily.
"GIVE ME SUPERPOWERS LIKE THEM!" Mojo said, angrily.
"What?!" Blossom exclaimed.
"Nuh-uh!" Bubbles said, worried.
"No way!" Buttercup said, terrified.
"Okay." The Professor said, frowning.
The girls gasp in shock, totally dumbfounded and floored by his casual reply to Mojo's demand. They fly up one by one to the Professor.
"But, Professor!" Blossom yelled.
"He's our worst…" Buttercup said.
"…enemy!" Bubbles said, angrily.
"And we have only ourselves to blame." The Professor said, looking at Mojo's weaponry scattered about. "All the gadgets and evil plots are just a desperate cry for help…" He puts a hand on Mojo's head. "…from a little-lost monkey, whose only wish is to be an equal member of his poor, neglectful family. Isn't that right, Jojo?"
"Yes." Mojo said, in a small voice.
Mojo and the Professor looked down at their hands as they reached down to shake. The girls look on uneasily from the background.
"Let's get to work." The Professor said, happily.
The Professor is tightening a nut on a piece of equipment with a wrench. Mojo is working on the other side. Now a few drops of liquid descend, landing in a flask, Mojo is filling. The heads of two mallets are brought down, with both workers swinging at full force. The Professor operates a power drill, and Mojo does a little spot welding. Next, the Professor hammers at a computer keyboard; a nut is adjusted, and more welding goes on. There are shots of various bits of work, interspersed with close-ups of the two sweating faces, ending with shots of Mojo's and the Professor's open hands descending. Mojo and the Professor clap one another on the back and look at their final product. The core of this consists of four panels, three small and one large; each has a set of clamps at its corners. Other pieces of machinery hang down from above.
"Uh…are you sure this is okay, Professor?" Bubbles asked, nervously.
Bubbles is looking at a suspicious Buttercup, and at Blossom on the next line.
"Well, of course. The Professor knows what he's doing…right, Professor?" Blossom asked.
The girls are clamped to the three small panels; the Professor stands in front of them, his hand on a control lever. He seems quite at ease with what's about to happen next.
"Of course, girls. All this machine will do is copy your powers into Jojo. Ready, Jojo?" The Professor asked.
Mojo is clamped down on the large panel, "Ready!"
The Professor pulls the lever, and a red light marked 'ACTIVATE' begins to glow. Part of the overhead machinery charges; a button marked 'COPY' is pressed next, and a broad beam of light emerges and sweeps across the girls as if they were documents in a Xerox machine. It passes over Mojo, Mojo keeps his head lowered with a lowly scowl on his face. After a second or two, his eyes pop wide open and take on the Powerpuff look, turning light violet. He addresses himself.
"Father?" Mojo asked, his voice trembling.
"Son?" The Professor asked.
"Oh, brother." Buttercup said, scoffing. "Now I see why Jared stayed behind at home."
The Professor runs eagerly across the lab, his arms outstretched. Mojo flies toward him and knocks him off his feet, and the two embrace.
"Oh, thank you, Father." Mojo said, his hands on the Professor's cheeks. "I was once a vengeful, mad genius bent on destroying mankind." He pinches the Professor's cheeks with an angry tone. "Well, now I'm a vengeful, mad genius bent on destroying mankind…with superpowers!"
The girls, still clamped down, gasp in surprise and anger at this act of betrayal of both their and the Professor's trust that Mojo had wanted to reform.
"I knew he couldn't be trusted. Get him!" Blossom said, angrily.
The girls break loose and charge, carrying Mojo high into the air. However, he grabs them and throws them back across the lair for a triple forward pass, and they smash into the far wall. His eyes have returned to normal. They pull loose and rush him again; with Mojo on the ground, laughing. He takes note of their offensive and starts throwing punches and kicks to repel them. They hit the floor hard enough to put three craters into it as he watches from midair.
Poking their heads up from the holes, the girls leap into the air and face off against Mojo again. They try yet another frontal attack, but run flat into a blast from eye lasers as strong as their own. Now he picks up Bubbles and swings her like a baseball bat, knocking the other two girls across the lair and into the wall. They collapse to the floor, and Bubbles drops into the ground to land on her head. She tumbles onto her side.
There is a low rumbling and the girls snap out of their daze a moment before the section of the floor they are lying on shoots into the air. It crashes against the ceiling, and we see that Mojo has carried it up. Mojo flies up.; the masonry crumbles away to show the girls embedded in the ceiling. They pull loose and float for a moment.
"How are we gonna beat him?" Buttercup asked, groaning slightly.
"He's got every power we got." Bubbles said, sadly.
"Exactly. We know everything he can throw at us, so there's no way he can surprise us. It's just a matter of wearing him down. This is the real reason Jared stayed behind, he knew Mojo would do this." Blossom said, smirking.
"Oh, girls…" Mojo said, while the girls' reflections are visible in his brain cap, and they look very uneasy and fearful. "You've forgotten one thing." The cap starts to glow with the girls' colors. "My superior, better-than-average, more-than-usual, superior brainpower!"
On the end of this, a tri-colored beam of light shoots from the cap.
"We…" Buttercup said.
"…can't…" Blossom said.
"…do…" Bubbles said.
There is a flash of light and the girls are knocked flying.
"…THAT!" The girls said, angrily.
The Professor is lying dazed on the floor. The girls crash down into the floor.
"Oh, no! Has this sibling rivalry come to an end?!" The narrator exclaimed, looking down at the girls. "Has Mojo Jojo finally defeated the Powerpuff Girls?!"
Mojo is looking down at the girls.
"YES! I have defeated the Powerpuff Girls!" Mojo cheered, and he was back on the ground. "The Powerpuff Girls are beaten, and it is by me that they are not victorious! With my own two hands, I have defeated them!" He looked at his collection of evil toys again. "All the gadgets and evil plots…" Mojo is flying across the lair. "…useless!" He destroys part of the pile and catches a large missile that falls loose. "Unnecessary!" He flew to a different part of the lair. "Pointless!" Mojo is in flight, smashing through several pieces of machinery as he goes. "Not with mechanical machines…" He throws a missile away. "…will I destroy this planet…" The missile obliterates a machine, and a large globe is propelled across the lair. Mojo catches this. "…but with my own bare hands!"
Mojo throws the globe to the floor, where it shatters.
The Professor is still lying on the floor and now surrounded by bits of debris. There is the sound of explosions, apparatus being smashed, and Mojo's laughter. The ground shakes from time to time.
"Now, Jojo…stop that…be a good monkey…put that down…Jojo, please…Jojo, behave yourself…please be good…please, Jojo…" The Professor said, dazed.
Professor's lab…
The Professor's words echo as he blinks and reflections of scenes from the past appear: a newly-mutated Jojo smashing a flask, jumping on a piece of broken equipment, warming his rear at a fire.
Mojo's lair…
The flames remain in the Professor's eye—his face is now set in righteous anger. He sits up and addresses Mojo, who is holding a piece of equipment over his head. The sound of the Professor's voice brings Mojo's rampage to a halt as he now has a startled, shocked look on his face as the Professor speaks.
"Mojo Jojo?!" The Professor exclaimed, crossing the floor to Mojo. "Now I remember you! You were the worst lab assistant I ever had! And Jared told me you were the worst friend he ever had! All you ever did was break everything you got your grimy little paws on!" Mojo puts the machine behind his back and smiles nervously, trying to hide that he was still as destructive as he was before his mutation. "Oh, you haven't changed one bit!" He looked down at the recovering girls, the others in the background. "Jared and I were finally forced to throw you out when the girls were born!" The Professor looked back at Mojo. "As a matter of fact…it was that very day!"
Professor's lab…
The Professor is at his mixing bowl.
"I was busy working on my formula for the perfect little girl with Jared making sure I was okay every step of the way." The Professor said, as a voiceover, with the two next to the bowl and looking at the components. "I had added the three essential ingredients—sugar, spice, and everything nice." Jojo pops up next to these. "When all of a sudden…"
The monkey reaches into view and shoves the Professor and Jared reaching over to try and save him.
"…you pushed me and Jared tried to save me! Which caused me to accidentally smash into a container of Chemical X." The Professor said, as a voiceover.
On the end of this, the handle of the Professor's spoon breaks the flask and the contents spill into the pot.
"Which poured into the perfect-girl formula…" The Professor said, as a voiceover, and there was the explosion; he and Jared are thrown across the lab. "…causing a giant explosion…" The girls appear; Jojo looks on. "…which resulted in…"
Mojo's lair…
"…the Powerpuff Girls being born!" The Professor yelled.
"Which was the best day of my life." Jared said, making himself visible and turning himself back to human. "I was dealing with the crappiest time which was Miracle Day. And you girls helped brighten my mood forever, even after what happened in Atlas and the Ever After."
The girls gather behind the Professor and Jared, fully recovered, and a dumbfounded Mojo watches.
"Hey!" The Professor said, smiling. "Well, what do you know? Thanks to your monkeyshines, Mojo, you kinda created the Powerpuff Girls!"
"What?!" Mojo exclaimed, softly. "I created the Powerpuff Girls?" Blossom and Bubbles fly and lift him up, carrying him along. "I'm responsible for their birth? It was me who caused them to be?"
Buttercup is at the controls; she throws the lever as the Professor and Jared watches.
"I triggered the events that led to their being on this earth?" Mojo asked.
There is a red light marked 'REMOVE POWERS' which glows. As Mojo continues, he is clamped onto his panel. The machinery revs up again.
"I've dedicated my life to destroying what I had a hand in creating." Mojo said, and a beam sweeps over him. "I created them. It's all my fault."
The beam washes over the entire lab; when it clears; the girls have hold of the Professor and Jared and Mojo is still stunned.
"I did it. It was me…" Mojo said, while he repeats this last part over and over again like a mantra of madness under the next lines.
"Well, Mojo, keep in touch…son." The Professor said, smirking.
"See you, around, friend." Jared said, scoffing.
"Yeah!" Blossom said, angrily.
"See you around…" Bubbles said, sadly.
"…Dad!" Bubbles yelled.
Giggling, the girls carry the Professor and Jaredout through the hole in the ceiling.
The background for the end shot comes up.
"Wow!" The narrator said, laughing. "Talk about ironic! Professor creates Mojo, Mojo creates girls, it's crazy, I tell you!" He is laughing again. "Yeah! So once again the day is saved, thanks to the Powerpuff Girls…"
Mojo appears, his mind still blown.
"…but thanks originally to Mojo Jojo!" The narrator said.
"It was me…it was me…it was me…it was me…it was me…" Mojo said, softly.
