Ch. 1

"Chakram Slice!" Brick shouted as he threw his Frisbee like chakram at a giant monster that was attacking the city along with Blossom and the others fighting.

"Yo-yo Rotunda!"

"Homerun Swing!"

"Bursting Bubbles!"

"Deadly Melody!"

"Graviton Drive!" and with that the monster was sent flying into the ocean with a big splash. It got up and swam away.

"Great job everyone!" Blossom congratulated as the blues cheered and greens gave a small high-five. Brick just had a look of annoyance with a tick mark.

"We did it! We saved the day once again." said the blondes.

"Pfft. Whatever." said the raven ruff, as cold as always.

"God damn stupid monster, I had basketball practice today!" the red ruff growled out angrily. Suddenly Blossom hugged him tightly around the neck with hearts shooting out of her.

"Aw, you are just so cute when you're mad!" she exclaimed making him blush as he struggled to get out of her death grip.

"Get OFF me you psycho!" the blues sweat dropped while the greens just rolled their eyes at the display. Finally, he got her off when she let go and sighed dreamily. "Jesus Christ woman, what is with you and hugging me!?" she just stared at him with hearts in her eyes and he decided to just ignore her for the time being. He glared in the direction the monster ran off and grinded his teeth together. "Argh! Thanks to that over-grown lizard, I missed practice. WHY DOES THIS ALWAYS HAPPEN!?" he kicked and punched the air around madly.

"Dude chill out, missing one practice isn't gonna kill ya. Man, you can be such a hothead." said Butch as he fiddled with his recorder (AN: which is a sort of like a flute for all those who don't know) and the red ruff narrowed his eyes at him for the last comment.

"I'm sure coach will let you slide since you are the captain of the boys basketball team at school, so don't worry." Boomer reassured as he tried to calm down his red brother. They were just about to fly off towards the lab when suddenly they were enveloped by a white light and they screamed at the brightness of it before they felt like they were spiraling downwards and everything went black.

ZZZ

With a groan, the six super powered thirteen-year-olds awoke and sat up as they found themselves in the middle of New Townsville Park. They looked around in confusion, wondering on how the hell they got here. "Umm, weren't we just flying over the city a minute ago?" Buttercup asked.

"We were, well…at least I thought we were?" replied Bubbles as they got up.

"So how did we end up at the park?" she scratched the back of her head.

"I don't know-WAH!" the blue ruff shouted distressly and she turned to him.

"What's with yo-AAH!" she yelped when she saw what he was screaming about and was frightened to see she could literally see right through him, then looked down at herself and gasped that she was too in the same predicament as him. In fact all of them were as they screamed and pointed at each other with their eyes bulging out of their sockets.

"All right, what hell is going on here? Why are we half-visible?" Brick questioned and gasped when a kid practically ran right through him like he wasn't even there at all. "What the fuck?!" he shouted as he frantically felt around his body.

"Dude that kid just totally ran right through you!" Boomer exclaimed in disbelief.

"I've noticed that Captain Obvious." He felt something poking him and turned to his counterpart. "Why are you poking me?"

"Just testing to see if I can go through you." Butch snapped his fingers in front of a person, but they didn't seem to react to him at all.

"Hmm, it seems that no one can see, hear, or even touch us; we're practically like ghost to people."

"G-g-ghost?" the blue puff stuttered.

"Relax will ya, we're not ghost…I think?" said Buttercup. Everyone began to worry as to why this was happening while trying to avoid being walked through.

"I don't like this."

"Are we dead?" the blonde ruff asked making them pale at this until they heard a chuckled and looked over, to their astonishment, another Brick sitting on a bench and reading a book. Brick was more shocked about this the most. He looked exactly like him from to toe to even the bandage on his right cheek, but there was something a bit different about this Brick.

"Huh? Wha? Huh!?" the others pointed between the two as they became more confused and the redheaded ruff not knowing what to think of this as he stared at himself.

"He's…me"

"I am." They were surprised when he responded without taking his eyes off the book. "And to answer your earlier question, no you're not. In fact you're far from it."

"You can hear us?" asked Blossom and he nodded as he glanced at them out of the corner of his eye with an amused gleam.

"And I can see you too."

"How is that possible when no one could?"

"That will be answered later." He didn't give them anymore.

"Okay, what's going on here? Did I hit my head or something? Am I being punked here?" the raven puff questioned suspiciously.

"You ask a lot of questions, but I'm used to that." She steamed at this.

"Who are you and what is this place?" the pink puff questioned.

"I'm Brick Jojo." Brick shook his head angrily, denying it.

"No way, you can't be me. I'm Brick, me."

"Well that may be so, but in this world I'm also Brick."

"Uh-huh, and what is this world of yours exactly?" the green ruff questioned at the look-alike who put his book down.

"I thought it would be obvious on what it looks like. This is my New Townsville…" he turned to them fully with a knowing smile, which unnerved them a bit. "and we've been expecting your arrival."

Now they were confused. "We? Who's we and what do you mean by expecting us?" the green ruff questioned further.

"We as in me, my brothers, the girls and Poochi and by expecting I mean we knew you would come here at this specific time and location. And it took you long enough, I've been sitting my ass on this bench for the past hour just to wait for you guys to arrive."

"How did we get here?" Bubbles asked.

"Never mind how, what I wanna know is why we are here and how do we get back home!" Buttercup exclaimed.

"Like I said your questions will be answered once we get to the lab." He stretched his limbs as he got up and knocked his shoes together making them turn into his RRBZ shoes that had skates on them to their amazement and skated towards the entrance with the others following hesitantly, not knowing what they're about to see. As they followed through the city, they looked around and could tell there were a few differences in this New Townsville. The buildings were the same but the advertisements were what caught their attention.

"Look!" Boomer pointed to some large T.V. screen on some building and they looked up to see a bunch of their faces on them. Some of them doing advertisements from companies, pictures of them with their counterparts as they posed together, some without their uniforms while posing in the latest fashion, doing crime fighting as usual or being a good example, and all of them looking tough with slogans like "The RPAZ will watch over you". But what stood out the most were them doing music videos and singing and dancing on stages.

"Whoa." They said in awe.

"What is all of this?" he asked the other Brick, but he just gestured with his head for them to continue moving. For awhile no one spoke as they continued to follow the skating doppelganger with a bunch of questions which will hopefully be answered, but one question stood out the most and they were all thinking the same thing. What the hell is going on? Every minute or so the other Brick would look behind to check and make sure they were still following. Finally, they made it to the Professor's lab and were relieved that it still looked the same as they stopped at the gate and he turned to them with a gentle smile.

"Sorry I couldn't explain everything at the park, but I didn't want to attract any attention and make it seem like I'm some nutcase that's talking to thin air." He said and rubbed the back of his head sheepishly before knocking his shoes again, turning them back to his regular sneakers.

"Understandable." said Blossom.

"Just hope that you better give us a good reason as to why the hell we're here for." Buttercup warned.

"I promise you, once we get inside we'll explain everything to you as best as we can so please be patient." She smirked in approval.

"You know, you're not bad. I like you better than our Brick; he's a pain in the neck."

"Shut up!"

"Make me!" than they began to argue with each other while the others sweat dropped as they made their way to the lab. The two were still arguing as they went inside until Bubbles reprimanded them and they stayed silent as they walked towards the living room where the others were. They found them all sitting on the couch doing their own things. The other Bubbles was reading a fashion magazine, Boomer was sketching which was a bit of a surprise, Blossom was eating a cookie with a book in her hand and a manga book in her lap, and the greens were watching sports. That was most alarming since their Butch didn't watch sports that much, only when his brothers were watching or when he was bored. But this Butch was cheering and shouting with the other Buttercup like no tomorrow and was actually showing his emotions. The other red ruff cleared his throat and the other Blossom immediately snapped to attention and smiled towards him.

"Oh good you're back, I was beginning to worry that something might have happened to you and that they wouldn't show." At this, everyone turned in his direction.

"What? Really, they're finally here!? Hooray!" the other blue puff said excitedly.

"It's about time." The other Butch said annoyed.

"Took them long enough." said other Buttercup.

"Yeah, sorry it took so long." said other Brick.

"No biggie, it was worth it." said other Boomer.

"Yes, as long as they made it here safely. That's all that matters." Other Blossom reassured as she went up and hugged him lovingly and to their shock he hugged her back. Once they separated they faced the group with a happy smile. "I'm sure you all have lots of questions that need to be answered but don't worry; we'll try to answer each and every one of them as best as we can."

"Hey Bloss, where's the Professor and the others?" the other red ruff asked.

"They're in the lab testing out some new inventions and decoding more from the journal." she informed.

"Good, we don't need them to act suspicious."

"Wait, the Professor doesn't know we're here?" the blonde ruff asked and they shook their heads.

"We can't let him or anyone else know that you're here; it has to remain a secret from everyone because if anyone knew it would disrupt the balance."

"Besides, we're the only ones other than Poochi that can really see you and were informed of your arrival." she added.

"So you mean only you guys knew we would come here and can see us? Why's that?" Blossom asked.

"The white z-rays in our systems enable us to see you and only those who have it know about you."

"You said someone informed you we would come and disrupt the balance if someone knew. Who told you and why would knowing of our existence affect it?" asked Butch.

"Not a who, a what." Other Boomer corrected.

"Huh?"

"It wasn't a person that told us. The white z-rays were the ones that let us know."

"What!?" they shouted in disbelief

"You're saying that the white z-rays actually told you that we would come here?" the pink puff repeated.

"Well not really tell us in words as per say, but more as a vision and a feeling like seeing into the future." said other Bubbles.

"Wow, that's so cool!" Boomer commented.

"Yeah, but it's a bummer that we can't use it all the time. It only comes and goes when we're all asleep and the only drawback is that you get really tired and a bit of a headache after you wake up." Other Buttercup explained.

"So why are we here and where exactly is here?" Brick asked.

"And what about the balance thing?" Blossom added.

Other Brick stepped forward with other Blossom by his side to answer; both having an air of authority as well as the light aura shining around them brightly. "You were sent here as observers so you can learn something from your journey here."

"Learn something?" the green puff repeated and she nodded.

"Yes and where you're at is the Alternate Universe."
