Title: Counting down
Summary: The Rowdyruff's are world leaders, desperately seeking for their counterparts to finish them once and for all. By destroying all schools in New Townsville except one, they bring all high school students together in one building. Now, It's only a matter of time before they cross out everyone, who doesn't meet the profile of Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup.
Chapter Title: Goodbye Townsville High
Momoko/Blossom's P.O.V.
Almost a year ago, the Rowdyruff boys took over. They claimed the world as theirs and ruled with an iron fist. The girls and I wanted revenge but we aren't strong enough. Luckily for us, the boy's ruled like gods but acted with a lot of compassion towards other people.
They cleared the hunger in Africa, stopped war around the globe and paid for everyone's health and education. They even fought other people who tried to take over the world or tried to rob one of their banks.
It was clear to us that the boy's had changed, but we still needed to avoid them at all cost. Not only were they one year older than us now, they also grew out of their childish behavior….well, most of the time. They are the anti-heroes of Japan and we decided to let them be, as we needed time for a good plan.
Me, Miyako and Kaoru took off our belts and promised to only wear them in emergencies. We went back to our normal lives, as we had before we got hit by the white Z-rays. Of course, the girls and I stayed friends, but life hasn't exactly changed back to normal.
The boys are still searching for us. Everything we did in our Powerpuff form was examined in detail, in order to find us and eventually destroy us. We did everything in our power to prevent that and we won that round. Meaning we also lost one.
The boy's captured the Professor and forced him to reveal our identity. Luckily for us, the Professor lost his memory and doesn't know who we are. Rumor has it, he does have some flashbacks and tells them to the boys, but until now it had no consequences.
Those consequences came today as Brick, Boomer and Butch destroyed our school. Now, there's only a hole in the ground, where I once ate my sweets and enjoyed my fruitcake. I sighed at the destruction and reminded myself, they never did something to hurt others these days.
I looked at Brick as he landed before me and the other students. We all stood at the school gates, as they had instructed. Miyako held her (project) fashion dress like she was carrying a baby and stood next to me. Kaoru stood in the back, not even focusing on the boys, playing with her soccer ball.
''Listen up! We decided to transfer all students of New Townsville to one school. That way we can evaluate your needs of education and get it to a higher level!''
Hearing Brick speak like this was still a little strange to me, but asides that I could feel the lie in his words. There had to be another reason to why they were doing this.
Brick's P.O.V.
I could see the disappointment on most faces, but this is the only way to find the girls or at least one of them. The Professor gave us enough information to make a small profile and now, with all 15-year-old girls at one place, it's only a matter of time before I find my counterpart.
Looking into the crowd, I looked for a sign if the girls were here. The professor told us that their belts never changed, no matter what identity they took. I always thought my counterpart was smarter than leaving her belt on her hips, but it was worth a shot.
Sighing I looked to my brothers. They too searched the world, having hope to finally finish, what we were created for. I know the world doesn't like us for that, but we accepted our fate, no matter what.
I shook my head, as my mind had drifted off again. I needed these students to go home in orderly fashion, in order to go finish today's work schedule. '' Please go home quietly and follow the instructions that you receive tonight.''
Most students cheered and walked away, but a few stayed behind. It was a group of soccer players, who were looking at their field. It was still intact and they probably wanted to play. I walked to them, to ask if they wanted to play when I got hit by a soccer ball.
A bit surprised, I looked at the back of the group, where a blond and a raven head looked at me in fear. While smirking evilly at them, I grabbed their ball and pretended to blow it up. I pushed the ball so hard from the sides, that it made a squeaking noise.
The blond guy's face fell in utter terror but the raven head glared at me before she walked towards me. Smirking satisfied that at least someone had the guts to stand up for themselves, I stopped pressing the ball.
'' Can we have our ball back?'' Now, I got the shock of my life. Not, because of the question, but of the voice talking to me.
The dude wasn't a dude, but a girl.
I looked closely and observed her body. With a closer inspection, I indeed recognized her Lady curves, that she tried to hide. Wow, I have never mistaken a girl for a dude before.
Before I could answer, Butch grabbed her and pushed her down to her hands and knees. ''First of all, It's Lord Brick. Second, you're asking for a gift, so say please and wait patiently for his answer.''
I was a bit stunned at my brother's reaction, but he was right, the girl needed to know her place.
To my surprise, she only glared angrily at Butch, before she quickly looked away to her soccer friend and it gave me the idea, she was only going to say the next words, because her friend was relying on her. ''May we please have the ball back, Lord Brick?"
Precisely like I predicted, but this girl did get my attention. Disguising yourself as a dude would be a genius plan. I wouldn't look for a dude when I search for my counterpart.
''Tell me your name and I will grant you permission.'' I saw her doubt and again she looked at Butch, who apparently just now, discovered the fact that she was a girl. I smirked as his eyes got bigger and tried to keep myself from laughing.
Focusing back on the girl, I noticed she was thinking too much. Indicating that everything that was coming out of her mouth, could be a lie. ''Don't even try to lie, you're coming to our school next week and I will know the truth by then,'' I said as I crossed my arms.
The girl seemed to flinch a little and quickly answered the first name that came to her, her real name. ''Kaoru Matsubara'' Butch gave the girl a light shock and she corrected herself. ''My name is Kaoru Matsubara, Now may we please have our ball back, Lord Brick?''
I heard the anger and sarcasm in her voice, but luckily for her, Butch didn't. ''Have fun playing, Kaoru Matsubara'' I gave her, her ball back and watched as she took off towards her friends. Butch was about to launch after her because she didn't bow before returning to her friends, but I held him back.
''Leave the girl Butch, next week you get plenty of chances to correct her, but for now, let's go home.'' Butch agreed and I signaled Boomer to follow .
