"Well did you get the combination?"
"Not yet, this guy ain't talking."
"I meant look for it in his desk!"
"Oh right, sorry."
"Hurry up, we've only got 150 seconds before the police respond to the silent alarm!" Brick reminded as Butch put down the manager of the big supermarket located west of Townsville.
"Why can't we just smash the safe open?" Butch questioned finally finding the combination with his x-ray vision.
"Because we don't want to create any noise" Brick answered.
"But aren't we just going to smash through the roof anyway?" Butch argued.
Becoming more frustrated, Brick argued back with "You know what I mean."
He grabbed the combination from his brother and with the paper he turned the dial on the safe opening it. "Okay, grab what you can and be quick" Brick ordered.
"Won't there be security camera's in this place?" Butch remembered.
"Yes, but that's why I got Boomer working on the wire's to cut the cameras" Brick explained putting the rest of the money in the bags they brought with them. "C'mon let's head up to the roof now, Boomer should be done" Brick said as he and Butch flew through the ceiling leaving the supermarket manager in a office full of dust.
They smashed through the roof and landed on it, greeting Boomer who was there waiting for them holding a pair of tweezers. "Hey guys, did you get the money?" the blue 5 year old ruff asked.
"Yeah, did you deactivate the security camera's?" asked Brick.
"Don't worry, I cut the wires in the box with the red ones just like you said" Boomer assured.
"Ok good now let's get out of here before, wait, red wires?" Brick turned back to Boomer raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah, you did say red wires didn't you?" Boomer asked becoming slightly worried.
"No, I said yellow wires, they're the ones for the security cameras!" Brick scolded him.
Suddenly, the trio of ruffs started hearing sirens and without their super hearing, which meant that the sirens were close. In fact, they were surrounding the whole supermarket. "Well what does it matter Brick? Even if we burst in straight up and took the money by brute force, instead of all that sneaking around, the police still wouldn't be able to stop us" Butch argued. "Yes but it would've been much quicker if we just snuck in, grabbed the money, and got out. Now it looks like we're going to have to fight our way out" Brick complained.
"Ah so what, it's only the police, when have they ever done anything useful whenever this city's come under attack?" Butch rhetorically asked. "Wait, can't we just fly over them at increased speed to avoid the police" Boomer suggested the obvious. "It's not the police I'm worried about. Any second now, you know who, is going to show up, have one big long clash with us, and regardless whether we win or lose, we'll lose this money guaranteed" Brick explained to them.
"This is why I told you to cut the cameras Boomer! So we wouldn't be recognised and they wouldn't call the cops on us, and not to mention those godforsaken puffs" Brick said that last part of his sentence in a darker tone. "Um, not to interrupt or anything, but shouldn't have we just taken off from this roof by now?" Butch reminded them. "What's the point? Those girls are gonna show up here any second now, watch, three two one" he counted down and stood there in silence waiting. But after a few seconds, nothing happened. Brick started looking around in the sky, obviously confused. "Are you sure they're going to show up?" questioned Butch. "I don't understand. They should've been here by now. Not that I want them here or anything but, where are they?" Brick wondered. "Doesn't the mayor usually call them for something like this?" asked Boomer.
Meanwhile in the Mayor's office, the mayor had just been informed of the situation of the supermarket in west Townsville, and had tried to reach the hotline for the powerpuff girls but unfortunately for him, he was stuck head first in a pickle jar upside down like an overturned tortoise. "Hello? Helloooooo? Fine time for Ms Bellum to take a sick day."
"I guess they're not coming" Boomer shrugged.
"Rowdyruff boys! We know it's you! Surrender now and we won't have to use physical force!" a voice from a megaphone came from the front of the store and the boys floated towards it and looked down to see a whole squad of police cars surrounding the place with onlookers being held back, with some of the police helping civilians out of the store.
"Pfft, what can these guys do? Even if we are intending to fly off away into the distance leaving them in the dust, we can easily smash the skulls of each and everyone of these pigs, and smash those cars of theirs" Butch proclaimed. "I dunno Butch, there's quite a lot of them this time" but Boomer was interrupted by Brick. "We can take 'em" Brick smirked down at cops, a wave of arrogance coming over him. He turned to face his brothers.
"Look guys, it looks like the girls aren't coming after all, which makes this a whole lot easier. Butch, for once I agree with you, these idiots deserve a good lesson in what retaliation looks like from the three of us."
"I'm not sure about this Brick, even for us, that seems kinda dangerous" Boomer pointed out.
"Boomer, they're cops, and we're criminals. To them, we're the enemy, and they're not gonna show any mercy on us. They're always going to be the enemy and we are never going to be easy on them in anyway."
"But Brick, it's just that we're only here to take money so we can live, if we beat up a whole bunch of police officers, that's not going to exactly help our situation."
"What do you want us to do Boomer? Just fly down there and say 'excuse us chief, but we only wanted this money to put food in our stomachs, so could you just forget all of our previous crimes and let us go free?' no, they won't do that, they'll taser us on the spot!"
"Will you two quit your yappin' and get on with this" interrupted Butch who had dropped the bag of money and was staring down at the officers. Brick and Boomer, although Boomer was skeptical, did as well. He decided it was best to obey his brothers.
"So what's your answer boys?" the chief called up at them. "Are we going to have to do this the easy way or the hard way?"
"Boys, shall we give the police chief our answer" Brick smirked as he darted down towards the front of the store his brothers following him.
The police, wary of what the boys were doing, placed their hands on their guns, but the boys were too fast. They suddenly went into three separate colour streaks, knocking out several police officers who were just about to draw their guns and they did the same knocking out any other police officer who was carrying a weapon, eliminating the biggest threat to them.
The crowd gasped and instinctively ran with some ducking behind cars for cover. The boys started to throw the squad cars at the groups of officers and the chief was forced to run behind a back up car that had just arrived. "See, what'd I tell ya, these idiots ain't got nothin' on us" Brick smiled to his brothers who were also now fully enjoying the chaos they were creating. They went from officer to officer, squad car to squad car, smashing anyone who opposed them or attacking them with heat vision or even a new power they developed a while ago in which they could fire balls of energy in their signature colour from their hands.
More and more police officers were becoming injured on the spot. What started off as a quick robbery devolved into an all out assault. "I don't know why I was against this, now this is what I call a day out" Boomer smiled throwing another officer into the side of a car. Several parts of the ground was now torn out by Butch and thrown into any direction he saw a possible threat in. "Huh, you call yourselves cops? You can't even handle 3 super powered 5 year olds" Butch taunted. "That's what you think" the police chief whispered to himself after hearing Butch's remark.
For too long now he had been witnessing his colleagues being assaulted mercilessly in this fight with little to no time to defend themselves or do anything back. The chief turned to the driver of the back up car. "Any word from the mayor's office?" "Not at all, and nothing from the girls either" the driver replied. "Then we're going to have to use plan B. Do you have the emergency kit?" the chief asked. "Yes sir, right here" the driver handed him the box which the chief opened.
The chief assembled a rifle and loaded it with darts that contained red vials in them. He leaned around the side of the car and aimed for the blue Ruff first, since he had stopped for the moment and was looking for any more potential threats. He wasn't looking the chief's way however and suddenly felt a prick in the neck. "Ow! What the?" before Boomer could say any more, and after he pulled the dart out of his neck, he started to feel drowsy, and without warning, passed out and dropped to the floor. This caught Brick's and butch's attention. "Boomer?" they both said at the same time, concern in their voices. Whilst Brick noticed the dart on the floor, Butch kept looking down at Boomer. "Boomer, bro what happened?" but Butch was hit in the back with a similar dart and felt the same effects as Boomer, before dropping to the floor himself.
"Butch!" Brick looked down then turned his attention towards the dart he was holding. "Tranquilized tipped darts laced with antidote X" Brick realised as he turned towards the direction they came from holding up his arm, where he was hit by a dart. He pulled it out and his vision started to go blurry. Miraculously however, and to the surprise of the still standing officers, Brick managed to stay awake, although he wasn't flying anymore. "Sir, he's not passing out!" the driver of the car informed. "Give me another, quickly!" the chief ordered. Brick looked up, trying desperately to reach the car. The chief fired another shot hitting Brick again, which brought him down to his knees, but he was still trying desperately to use his powers. "He's still resisting!" "Just hang on" the chief said before firing one last dart at Brick. Brick couldn't resist it any longer, he dropped down like a fly.
The chaos was over. The remaining police officers approached the boys cautiously, guns in hands. Ambulances arrived to treat the injured, and the chief walked up to the boys. "Get the cuffs made of duranium" he ordered. "Where did you get antidote X from?" one of the officers asked the chief. "It was a plan in case the Powerpuff girls were absent in a situation and we were up against a threat. Professor Utonium gave the city a supply of it, in case we needed it" he answered.
The boys woke up in a cell, all around about the same time. They rubbed their heads and slowly stood up feeling completely awful. "What the hell happened?" Butch complained adjusting to his new surroundings. "Um, what the hell? Do they honestly think they can keep us in a cell like this-" Butch tried to bend the bars of the cell but failed to do so. "What? But-" "Don't bother Butch, they shot us with Antidote X darts weakening us. Your powers will come back eventually but by the time they do the officers will just put duranium on your wrists again" Brick explained. "And I thought we had those pigs in the palms of our hands" Butch sat down on the bed. "I knew attacking those cops was a bad idea. We lost that money I take it?" Boomer assumed. He didn't get a reply. "We should've just flown off and left them as quickly as we could" Boomer huffed sitting down next to Butch on the bed.
"Don't you start complaining Boomer. If you had just listened to me and cut the right wires, then the security at the supermarket wouldn't have seen us and called the cops on us" Brick argued.
"We didn't have to attack them, but you said 'they see us as the enemy and they always will be' and what started off as a simple job lead us here" Boomer argued back.
"I don't have to listen to this. You two are the problem. If you didn't get yourselves into predicaments that cost us a victory or completing a task, then we wouldn't be here in the first place!" Brick shot back obviously frustrated.
"Hey don't blame all this on us, it was your plan and we followed it" Butch countered.
"My plan would've been flawless if you two just followed basic orders."
"I'm not the one who suggested we fight those cops"
"No but you didn't exactly object to it either."
"Well it looks like we're going back to our usual cell now" Boomer sighed.
"I wouldn't count on that boys" an officer sat by a desk near the cell spoke up. "After that assault today, don't expect the judge or jury to go easy on you. They'll probably send you three offshore this time."
"Offshore? To an island prison?" Boomer asked.
"When's our trial?" asked Brick.
"In a few days. I doubt anyone's going to want to defend you this time" the officer replied.
"Then I'll represent us" Brick proclaimed.
"I'm pretty sure you can't do that legally Brick" Boomer spoke up.
"Would they really care about something like that in this town? Don't worry we'll get out of here in no time, trust me."
So this is the first chapter of my RowdyRuff boys fanfic. I'm fairly new to the series, i thought i'd watch some episodes and enjoyed some of them, but i haven't watched that many yet, so i apologise if anything is out of continuity. But I think i've watched enough to know most things about the series. And like many people, the Rowdyruffs quickly became my favourite characters. I wanted to give them a bit more character too, since this story is going to revolve around them, and I personally thought that they didn't get that much in the series. The Powerpuff girls will be in this fanfic don't worry.
Powerpuff girls and Rowdyruff boys belong to CN.
