Stuck Up, Up and Away
"The City Of Townsville!". A white sleek limo drives up to the Pokey Oaks Kindergarten. "And it's a shiny new day, with a shiny new limousine heading for Pokey Oaks Kindergarten". The limo pulls up beside the school. "Seems there'll be a shiny new face joining the class today". A tuxedo clad arm - The Chauffeur's reaches out and opens the door revealing a short ginger haired boy standing in front of a man wearing a white suit. The ginger is wearing a yellow sweater and magenta trousers with matching shoes.
Reaching forward, he made 'gimme motions' with his hand. "I'll need some milk money for my first day of school". He all but ordered and received a wad off cash instantly. Sighing contemptuously, he accepted the cash. "I suppose it'll do". Finished with them, he moved out of the car and made his way to Ms. Keane who's standing outside to greet him.
"Well, hi there. It's nice to finally meet you". She smiles warmly at the boy. "Come on in". She invites making her way inside also. Facing the class, she cleared her throat loudly catching their attention. "Everyone, I'd like you all to give a warm welcome to our new friend, Prince Morebucks".
The class looked down at the boy getting a good look at him. He had curly ginger hair held back in a hair tie and 'spoiled brat' written all over his face. Nevertheless, the class still greeted him warmly. "Hi, Prince!". They all chorused.
He only regarded them all with a disinterested gaze, "Hmmm...". Crossing the room, he passes Boomer and Mitch playing with building blocks.
"Hi, Prince!". Waved Mitch. "Wanna help us build a skyscraper?". He offered kindly.
Pausing in his tracks, he glances over his shoulder at them. "When I want to build a skyscraper, my daddy builds me a real one in any city I want". Behind him, several other kids, including Butch had cardboard boxes set up in a row for a train.
"Hey, Prince!". One of the kids called to him. "Get on aboard the choo-choo es-prex!". On cue, Butch imitates the train whistle.
Sticking his nose up, he turned away from them. "I only travel first class, on my daddy's private Lear jet". Beside him, a boy pops out of a potted plant grinning big.
"Hey, Prince! Do you dig dirt?". He questions and waves the shovel in his hand in emphasis.
Drawing back in disgust, Prince made a face. "Yeech! No!". Not waiting for a response, he quickly walks away to a girl watching a hamster happily running on it's wheel.
"Hi, Prince". She greets him. "Wanna play with Twiggy, our class hamster". She offered, gesturing to said hamster who stopped running upon Prince's arrival.
Peering at it, he scrunched up his nose in distaste. "Eww, no! I don't want to play with your smelly, mangy little rat! Blecch!". Twiggy - The Hamster, now deeply terrified began to run at top speed on it's wheel to get away from the horrible human. No one noticed the nut holding the wheel loosening.
"Oh, no!". Cried the Narrator. "In Twiggy's distressed state, her frantic attempt to get far away has caused a nut to work itself loose from her scamper wheel!". He, well, narrated.
The cage then slides over the edge and begins to fall, the entire class watching on in horror except Prince who's expression remained the same indifferent one as before.
"Twiggy!". The boys frowned.
"Butch, vaporize the cage!". Brick ordered. "Boomer! You, me! Fastball special!". He directed, not once missing a beat. Acting on command, Butch vaporized the cage leaving Twiggy and the wheel in free fall. Grabbing Boomer, who's curled into a tight ball, Brick throws him across the room and he bounces off the cabinet and catches Twiggy inches from meeting the floor and throws a wink to the class.
Immediately the class all cheer there rescue all but Prince who watched the scene unfold with a dumbstruck expression across his face. Making his way towards them, he watched Boomer give the hamster to the girl who was watching her before.
"Wow, that was amazing!". He breathed upon reaching them. "How did you do that?".
Looking up, Boomer smiled happily. "It's easy!".
"We're superheroes". Brick informed.
"Yeah, we're the...". They all come together, standing with their arms folded across their chests. "RowdyRuff Boys!". They declared in unison.
Prince just looks on amaze and pats his hair. "Ah. Well, then, I'm gonna be a RowdyRuff Boy too". He declared almost matter-of-factly.
Butch only laughs out loud at his declaration. "Hahaha!".
Rubbing the back of his head and trying to stifle his laughs, Brick answered. "Well, uh, we're not really accepting new members at this time, but thank you for your interest in our group". He declined as politely as he could.
Clearly not sitting well with him, Prince returns to full brat mode. "What?!". He exclaimed. "You can't just blow me off like some common peon! I'm Prince, and my daddy buys me anything I want!". He raged. "I WANNA BE A ROWDYRUFF BOY!".
Not finding amusement in the situation anymore, the boys frown down at him. "Well, I'm sorry, but you can't. We're superheroes". Brick answered through gritted teeth, only barely keeping it together.
"We were born with superpowers". Chimed in a cutely frowning Boomer. (a/n. We all know he simply just can't frown)
Glaring outright, Butch added his two cents. "You can't just buy superpowers". He mocked.
"Oh, yeah?". Prince jabbed his fingers into an already aggravated Butch's chest. "Tell that to Batman!". Just then the bell rang out throughout the class and Brick and Boomer quickly fly off dragging along a struggling Butch.
"I don't think I like that Prince at all". Mumbled Butch, relaxing in his brother's grasp as he knew they weren't letting go anytime soon.
"Yeah. Why was he so rotten to everyone?". Boomer chimed in.
"Well, he's new here and probably doesn't know hot to make friends". Brick suggested as they flew over the horizon. "We should give him a chance".
"Meanwhile, across town at Morebucks Manor...". A white mansion comes into view as Prince barges inside and runs across the front hall, whining at the top of his lungs. "DADDY!". He rushes through room to room. "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, Daddy!". Rushing over to his father, he bawls in his lap. "My first day of new school and everyone was mean to me!". He wailed. "I just wanted to make some friends, but everyone ignored me especially the RowdyRuff Boys!". He clenched his teeth angrily. "Everyone loves the RowdyRuff Boys, so I wanted to be a RowdyRuff too, but they were being selfish and spoiled and they told me I couldn't". He lied through his teeth knowing his daddy would eat it up. "They told me I couldn't! But I wanna! I wanna be a RowdyRuff Boy!". He throws himself on the floor, pounding and kicking. "I wanna, I wanna, I WANNA!". He screams and cries until his father handed him another wad of cash. Brightening up immediately, he grabbed the money and giggled greedily, all traces of his tears gone.
Time Skip
"The next day at school..". The boys all sat their desk, coloring away happily. "Coloring time proceeds as usual, until...". He trails off.
The boys are suddenly startled out of their work by a royal fanfare. Prince is at the front door, with a crown on his head and a cape wrapped around his shoulders. He enters. "All hail Prince! The newest and best-loved (Boomer twitched and growled) RowdyRuff Boy of all time!". He drops his cape revealing a similar outfit to the boy's only his was a yellow color.
The entire class just watched dumbfounded.
Slamming his hands on the table, Butch sprang up. "What?!".
Standing across from them, Prince gloats. "See? I told you I was gonna be a RowdyRuff Boy".
"Uh.. I like your outfit". Boomer voiced, only to have his brother's glare at him. He squeaked and ducked his head.
His ego swelling in size, Prince scoffed. "Of course you do. It's just like yours, except better".
Floating out of seat, Butch made to tackle to Prince. "Boy...". Brick quickly stopped him and stepped up.
"I'll handle this". He glares and approaches Prince. "Now, Prince, buddy, maybe we didn't explain well enough". He's interrupted as the hotline suddenly rings. Zipping over, he quickly answers, his brothers already behind him forgetting about Prince for now. "Yeah, Mayor?". He had the voice of a general. "A robbery? First National Bank?".
"Why do they get to answer the fancy phone?". Prince spat.
"Don't worry, Mayor. We're on it!". He hangs up. "Come on, guys!". They take off.
"Hey! Wait for me!". Two jet thrusters extend from his back, one hitting Mitch and the other a kid. He then takes off in a cloud of flame.
In Townsville...
"Meanwhile, deep in the bowels of Townsville...". The bank window is suddenly smashed, with a vehicle lodged into it. "A crime is afoot".
Inside, a masked robber emerges with several sacks of money while another held a gun trained on the hostages. The latter quickly deposits the money in the back of the vehicle. "That takes cares of that".
"Ha! Great!". He exclaimed, still keeping the gun fixed on the hostages. "Thank you, Townsville, for lettin' us have all your money!". He laughs.
"Not so fast, crook!".
Turning, he was greeted by the sight of the RowdyRuff Boys standing in front of the hole they created. His partner quickly ran forward with a gun of his own. "The RowdyRuff Boys!". Not wasting anytime, they quickly off load their guns into the boy's chests, the bullets only bouncing off on impact.
Brick only stared exasperated. "Why do they always want to do it the hard way?". The crooks suddenly run out of ammunition.
"Okay. Let's take care of these knuckleheads and go home".
"Butch!"
Cringing, he looked away miserably. "Fine, school".
"Don't worry, RowdyRuff Boys. I'll save you".
"Huh?".
Prince then flies in and lands between the boys and the crooks, his thrusters folding away. "Evildoers, beware the wrath of the RowdyRuff Prince". He begins striking at air. "Hai-yah! Hai-yah! Hai-yah!".
The crooks watch him, only slightly unnerved. Producing two boomerangs, shaped like his crown, he launched them at the crooks who merely ducked. Butch and Boomer are hit on the return flight.
"Hey!". Yelled Butch.
"Watch it!". Cried Boomer, rubbing his head.
Prince fires a grappling hook into the ceiling and swings across the room, his legs extended for a flying kick. However, he stops just short of the crooks, and the section of the ceiling he hit pulls loose. He's dumped to the floor and loose section lands on the boys, pinning them down.
Laughing away in their vehicle, the Crooks glanced back at the boys. "Sorry we couldn't leave all the money like you asked, but we'd like to leave you a little present anyway". He laughs and throws Prince out onto the floor. He's now bound and gagged with duct tape, and a time bomb attached to him, the Crooks quickly take off. "I love it when a plan comes together!".
Having freed themselves, the boys were ready to give chase. "They're getting away!". Cried Butch.
"No time!". Answers Brick, gesturing towards Prince. "The bomb".
Boomer quickly tears it loose, and Butch punches a hole in the ceiling. Throwing out the bomb, Brick fires his laser blasts after it, detonating it in midair. The people in the bank immediately sprang to cheer them. "Hooray, Rowdy...". Losing steam. "Ruff...Bo...". They trail off at the none too happy expressions on the boy's faces.
"Sorry. We're not really in the mood right now". The icy tone from Boomer sent a shiver through the bank's occupants.
Getting in his face, Butch pulls Prince up by his shirt, glaring furiously. "What's wrong with you?". He screamed in his face. "You ruined everything! Catching robbers should have been a piece of cake, but no! You had to come swinging in with your little toys.. ". He begins imitating Prince. "Look at me, RowdyRuff Prince...". He clenches his hands, now very fed up. "Ooh, I oughta..".
Brick pushes him aside. "Look, Prince. Now do you see why we don't let extra members on our team?". He explained. "Crime fighting is a dangerous business and you don't really have superpowers or any kind of experience". He pointed out to the still, on the floor Prince. "So you see, it really is for your own safety when I say you just can't be a RowdyRuff Boy. All right?".
Prince looked just about to blow his top.
Scene Change...
"DAAAAAAAADDDDDDDDDDDYYYYYYY!".
He just flexes in his golf clothes as Prince came running up to him screaming. "Daddy, Daddy, it was awful! I was being a good RowdyRuff Boy, but they were jealous, and then the man grabbed me and put a bomb on me and everyone laughed at me!". He looks up now glaring furiously. "And it's all YOUR fault, 'cause that super suit you bought me STINKS!". He begins crying again. "I thought you loved me, but I guess not if all I get is cheap JUNK!". He cries even harder now. "A real daddy who really loved his son wouldn't care what it cost and..". He stopped short as his father produces a briefcase full of cash and smiles greedily. "Now that's the love I'm talking about".
"Oh boy..". The Narrator voices out wearily.
The Next Day
"The following morning, back at Pokey Oaks Kindergarten...". Inside, the boys are at their desk.
"Gee, I haven't seen Prince yet today". Voices Boomer.
"Yeah, I bet he's still at home crying". Butch smirked pleased. "Heh. Serves him right".
"Well, he probably feels pretty silly about the way he-". An explosion and a shower of rubble cut him off as Prince steps in through the newly made hole.
"ROWDYRUFF BOYSSSSS!". Floating into the room, he glares angrily at the trio. He's now sporting a gold bodysuit, magenta goggles over his eyes and his arms are hidden by a large energy ball.
"Looks like he went shopping this morning". Boomer said in a song-song voice.
Still floating, he addresses them. "All I ever wanted was for everyone to instantly love me as much as they love you. But no!". Several kids cower in fear under their desks. "You turned everyone against me! You humiliated me!". The boys watch him glaring evenly. "You told me I could never be a RowdyRuff Boy! Well, If I can't be a RowdyRuff Boy, then there won't be any ROWDYRUFF BOYS!".
Ms. Keane quickly steps forward. "Ah, Prince, uh, the boys already know this rule, but you're new, so I'll let you know". She begins. "I don't allow fighting in the classroom". She said sternly.
Blinking, Prince nodded his head. "Oh, I'm sorry". He then blasts the boys through the wall and into the playground. "We'll take it outside!".
As they rubbed their heads, Prince landed in front of them. "So! Who said money can't buy superpowers?".
Getting up, Butch wiped the corners of his mouth. He split his lip. "You've been asking for this for a long time!". He charged forward and lets loose a flurry of kicks and punches. Prince merely dodges each hit or blocks it until he strikes back with a punch to the breadbasket and another which sends Butch skidding across the playground face first.
"Butch!". Cried a panicked Boomer.
"As you can see, my new cybertomic armor increases my speed and strength far above that of your average RowdyRuff Boy". He smugly explained the reason to his newfound strength.
"Oh! You..!". Boomer quickly fires optic blasts after blast, letting the attack do the talking but the shots only bounced off.
"Oh, please". Scoffed Prince.
Gathering himself, Boomer screams at the top of his lungs, sending an energy beam out from his mouth. Prince just blocks it with one hand. "Talk to the hand". He jibes before retaliating with a laser blast from his crown.
"Boomer!". Cried Brick looking up.
"Aaaah!". Screaming in pain, Boomer crashed down face first covered in soot.
"Let's see. Blaster rays, flight boots, super strength force fields... I guess with this new suit, the RowdyRuff Prince has got you beat all around!". He boasted. "So, Brick, are you jealous?". He cocked his head, taunting him. "Are you scared, seeing how easily I thrashed your brothers without even breaking a sweat?".
Brick merely watches him with an even glare. "Well, what's the matter?" He called out still getting no response. "Cat got your tongue?". A long silence follows.
Fed up, Prince prepares another attack. "Very well. Prepare to bow to your Prince!". He fires another blast from his crown at Brick, who merely dodges with a tilt of his head. He doesn't look at all happy, and the glare from the explosion of the beam behind him only highlighted his fury. Tilting his head back up, he watched as Prince charged at him for another go but trips him up and sends him flying into the slides.
Fuming, he shot forward and let loose a barrage of attacks only for this time to have all his moves dodged or blocked by Brick effortlessly. As the fight moved across the playground, Brick finally goes on the offensive and lands blow after blow, making sure Prince felt every one of them for what he did to his brothers.
Coming to, Butch and Boomer look up to see their usually level headed brother in action. They could see why he was the leader. Brick delivered a few more hits, causing sparks to fly from the armor. "Butch!". He knocks him across the playground towards his raven haired brother.
Butch catches him, and spins him like a top. "Boomer!". He stops and kicks him over to the blonde who does a handstand to boot him high in the air. "Brick!".
Brick inhaled deeply and blew his ice breath freezing over Prince's armor. Pausing in midair, his armor finally gave away. "Huh? Whoooooooaaaaaaaaa!". He plummets to the ground but is caught by Brick by the last minute. He immediately begins crying. "Why won't you let me be a RowdyRuff Boy?".
"Because you're just a spoiled brat". He drops him on the floor and lands beside his brothers. "And being a RowdyRuff Boy isn't about getting your way, or having the best stuff, or being popular or powerful". He stated. "It's about using your own unique abilities to help the World we all live in. And you, little boy, have done nothing worthy of the name 'RowdyRuff'!". His only response was a whimper. "And don't you EVER, hurt my brothers again. Got it?". This time he got a frantic shaking of the head.
A policeman reaches out and clasps handcuffs onto Prince's wrist.
"Ooh, nice bracelets". Butch taunted.
"Oh, they'll be just smashing with your new prison wardrobe!". Boomer adds before him and his brother erupts into peals of laughter as Prince is dragged away to the police car.
"Why, you - you can't do this to me!". He struggled. "I'm the Prince! Do you know who my daddy is?". He's thrown inside. "My daddy knows people! And my daddy knows people like money!". His next words are muffled as the officer slams the door shut.
"Well, Prince, the only 'cha-ching' you'll be hearing from now is the sound of prison doors!". The officer drives off and Prince beats against the window angrily. "And so once again the day is saved, thanks to the real RowdyRuff Boys!".
