A/N I'm really excited about this story…
I'm still working up to the fluffiness so their won't be any in this first chapter. And there probably won't be any in the following chapters either.
Disclaimer: I don't own the Rowdy Ruff boys or the Power Puff girls, or Townsville.
Chapter 1
7 Years. That's how long it had been since the Rowdyruff boys left, and Townsville began to quiet down. After the defeat of the mighty trio, combined with the fall of Mojo Jojo, the other villains just gave up. The only villain left who could even stand a chance against the super powered girls was Him, and he had lost interest in defeating the puffs years ago. Now Townsville is quiet, and the Powerpuff girls are heroes for establishing that peace. They live in perpetual bliss, basking in the peace with the rest of the citizens now. Their only regret is how it all went down… 7 years ago…
The last time they saw each other they were 11 years old. For the first few years of life after their creation, the Boys were simply obnoxious, loud little prank pullers. But their habits began to change as time rolled on. They slowly lost interest in pelting the occasional pedestrian with water balloons or tricking them with fake spiders. About the age of 8, they escalated to causing random mayhem, fooling with as many citizens as possible. They stole purses, broke into any building they felt like, and defiled as much property as they could. No matter what they did, they always made sure it got on someone's nerves.
This life didn't suit them to well either, because as the thrill of mischief died so did their obnoxious habits. Citizens were ignoring them as they continued their endless pranking. Eventually the boys loathed the treatment they were given, they could never get used to the cold shoulder.
Their true insecurities as children began to show. They wanted to be known, and hated when anyone ignored them. Being refused the proper attention little boys need; loneliness became their greatest fears and pains.
The boys wanted to physically force recognition, and they began attacking the town much more frequently, so frequent in fact that the puffs could go days at a time before getting a break from the fighting. The Ruffs were forcing the city to know they were there, and acknowledge them. And the easiest way to force them was to attack the town as much as possible.
**Puffs POV
The girls were hot on the boys trail, following them throughout the city streets. The boys were making sure every citizen could see them flying around the city. As they flew destruction followed them and the citizens were running for safety. There wasn't a single citizen in the town who could deny the boys recognition now.
The girls were trying to take them down with as little difficulty as possible. The boys flew with a very relaxed movement and giddily destroyed statues, street venders, and billboards among a wide variety of other things. To the citizens they took hats from the tops of their heads, stole candy from little children and lifted the skirts of women. They never failed to chuckle when they met screams of agitation from the civilians.
The girls were flying in a very tensed and irritated fashion. They were prepared to destroy the Ruffs the moment they caught up to them. Today was supposed to be a relaxing day with the professor after a long week of fighting evil, and the ruffs were ruining it… again!
"I can't believe this! We were supposed to be at home eating spaghetti with the professor and watching movies right now! The Professor took tonight off and even prepared all that dinner just to make us feel better!" No one was more upset than Blossom, who valued family time the most of their trio.
"I'm going to beat up Butch SO HARD when I catch up to him! He'll barely even speak after I pound his face in!" Buttercup was fuming the most though, looking forward to a nice dinner after they had left their lunch on the table because of a false alarm by the mayor. It wasn't even important enough to mention, but let's just say it did involve an overly sized pickle jar.
"And the Professor was going to read us stories when we went to bed too!" Bubbles was practically in tears, thinking about the sweet bedtime story they were going to read, and the soft soothing voice of the professor while he read to them.
Buttercup let out an indignant growl and cried "We still can Bubbles! We totally win every time; it can't be that hard to wipe the floor with them quickly tonight."
Blossom sighed and gave her a knowing glare "Buttercup their still our counterparts. And besides that they have proven to be even more elusive than we are. It's going to take patience, and careful movements to catch them. We're playing a very serious game of cat and mouse right now. And everyone knows that it doesn't matter who the cat is unless they can catch the mouse." Buttercup rolled her eyes at the analogy, Blossom always took things like this too seriously.
"Oh come on Blossom! You're giving them way too much credit, their just obnoxious little boys with superpowers." Blossoms huffed and quipped back, "and were just cute little girls with superpowers. Face it Buttercup, their capable of matching us in every way."
Buttercup gave out an angry cry, "Graaah I hate them! I hate them! Why can't they just go away and let us be normal little girls!"
Blossoms eyes lit up and the gears in her mind started working at her epiphany. Her mind had hooked on Buttercups last statement, for the 'Ruffs to leave them alone'. "You know girls maybe were looking at this problem in the wrong light, instead of forcing them to stop maybe we should stop…"
"WHAT!" Both her sisters responded, incredulous at the notion.
Blossom shrugged innocently and explained her idea. "The Professor always told us that the best way to deal with a bully was just to ignore him. Maybe that's what we're doing wrong? Instead of ignoring them like the sad excuse for villains they are we come out to fight them every time, no matter how many times they come."
"But Blossom, if we don't stop them then who would? Even if they are just a bully, they do mean things to a person which isn't right!" Bubbles frowned.
Blossom gave an uneasy look, already realizing the hole in her plan "Well, I don't really know… How about we talk this over later girls? I really want to catch them and go home already."
Bubbles nodded. "And then we can read bed time stories!" Buttercup gave out a smirk, "Yeah so let's GET EM." Blossom and bubbles simultaneously agreed "Yea!"
The girls had a much more determined look on their face now, and they were ready to get into action.
**Brick's POV
They were flying through the city, having a grand time. Butch was twitching and laughing hardily, Boomer was giggling like a girl, and Brick had a smirk on his face. Too bad Brick's smirk was completely fake; he was always good at hiding his emotions behind that smirk. Brick released a sigh and inwardly groaned. His brothers paid no attention, in fact they could never notice.
The two other Ruffs had grown apart from their leader recently. In fact all they really knew about Brick was that he was the leader and extremely bossy. At least, he was usually bossy when he was around the hideout. On normal days he would spend almost the entire day away from the house, and sometimes he wouldn't even come back for bed. When the two ruffs asked him where he was going his answer was always "I want to clear my head." That seemed to be all he ever wanted to do. Clear his mind and stop thinking. Sometimes Boomer and Butch would talk about how much they pity him for that, especially when his greatest strength was his ability to think better than them.
But even so, if you asked the two other Ruffs if their older brother cared about them they would reply he was crazy about them in a heartbeat. The Ruffs were always close, heck they were the only family each other had. The two Ruffs just assumed Brick was going through a tough time.
Brick was heaving out a sigh, normally a chase like this always cleared away his thoughts and just left him empty minded and blissful. But not right now, the chase was to boring. He needed this to spice up if he wanted to keep his mind out of the clouds.
Then Brick noticed his brother Boomer starting to giggle faster. He sounded like he was a little girl on a sugar high. His laughter became uncontrollable and he could barely keep his eyes open or fly straight. Uh oh, Boomers getting too excited again.
At that point, Boomer spread his arms akimbo underneath him, and spread a volley of energy spheres below him. They dropped down and collided with the street, his laughter becoming hysterical as he quelled his desire for more destruction.
Boomer quickly stopped his destruction when Brick gave him a hard hit to the cranium. "Ooooowwww!" Boomer began whining and Brick gave a quick glance back to assess the damage. Boomer wasn't giving off energy for long but thanks to the velocity they were flying at he had covered a lot of ground during those few moments.
"Boomer! You just completely demolished 3 entire city blocks!" Brick reprimanded him. Boomer gave a very apologetic look, but Brick could tell he was only sorry for getting caught.
"Boomer do you remember what I was telling you two about before?" Butch rolled his eyes "Oh great, he's going to lecture us again."
"Bros, causing damage like that is just irresponsible. Imagine how much trouble it's going to take to fix that road? And it wouldn't have been difficult at all to just control ourselves and avoid damaging city property now would it? And on top of that, imagine the people who need to use that road to commute. Now they're going to have to spend extra time just to get a detour around it, the flow of traffic will get worse with the enclosed space as well. And what about people whose cars were on that street? They have to pay for bus transportation, which is much less time efficient, and-"
"And why should we care what those stupid people have to do?" I wonder if the Puffs have the same problem with their eldest sibling. Butch grimaced, feeling very empathetic for his counterpart.
Brick gave an annoyed glare back at his brother, Butch always wanted to challenge him. "Well, that's because…"
"Watch out!" Boomer interrupted their argument and pointed straight ahead where the green puff had diverged from her sisters and cut them off. She was standing at the middle of a fork in the road, and if the Ruffs didn't move then they were inevitably going to meet head on with her. That's when Brick gave the order "Alright split up. If we travel together we risk getting cornered from here on out."
"With pleasure bro" Butch smirked and flew together with his brothers. The three of them split up just before reaching Buttercup, Brick flew to the left, and Boomer flew to the right. Much to Brick's dismay, Butch flew straight at Buttercup like a torpedo instead of flying over her. They collided and smashed through the building at the end of the street together, being followed by loud smashing noises coming from inside the hole they created.
Brick sighed in annoyance and shook his head. He glanced behind him to see the all too familiar pink streak behind him trying desperately to gain on him. Brick rolled his eyes.
This is getting way to repetitive, how does this always come down to counterpart against counterpart?
Brick cursed when he realized that he was still thinking, and was fighting to keep his mind from wandering and focus on the chase. Needless to say, it was a fruitless hope. He began to wonder if there was anything he could do to excite this chase more without being forced to confront his annoying counterpart.
Brick smirked when he noticed the hateful and very frustrated glare on her face. He grinned realizing how he could at least annoy her even more. He altered his flight pattern, hovering inches away from the cars aligning the street and darting in-between parked cars. Blossom gasped and huffed when she realized how difficult he was going to make this.
Blossom dove down after him, exercising as much skill and precision as he was dancing between cars. Brick dodged to the right as she tried to freeze him along with a car he was flying near. He flew out of the jungle of cars and began scaling the side of one of Townsville's many building structures. As he was ascending he suddenly took a blow to the back he wasn't prepared for. He turned around with a shocked glance to see her eyes red and blazing following the red lasers she shot at him.
Brick's shocked face was replaced with a huge grin when he saw how utterly furious she looked. Brick turned back around with a chuckle and continued along the building. Blossom was getting ready to fire a new volley of lasers at his back, until he planted his feet on the side of the building and used it as a backboard to suddenly dash away towards the building opposite of it.
Blossom gasped and was caught off guard at his flying maneuver; she skidded to a stop and quickly repeated his actions.
**Blossom's POV
Has Brick always known how to fly so well? She wasn't very certain but knew Brick was usually good for surprises.
Her thoughts were cut short when she saw him reach the opposite building and dart inside an opened apartment window. Her eyes widened in shock and prayed this was her chance to corner him.
She flew as fast as she could into the opened window and was hoping to catch a glimpse of his crimson streak. She wasn't able to see it, but she immediately heard it as soon as she entered.
The moment she flew inside and stopped, her counterpart had flown straight back outside the window without her ever realizing he was sticking to the ceiling the whole time. She growled indignantly and dashed around as fast as she could. Without checking where she was going, she flew full force against the now closed window seal.
Blossom gasped incredulously as the glass broke at the sudden force and shattered with a loud crashing noise. She barely even felt the glass, but the crashing sound and unexpected closed window shocked her dreadfully. She caught sight of Brick's red streak in the distance. She was so focused on catching him, she never heard him close the window seal behind him.
Everyone always knew that Blossom was the least flexible of her sisters, and the easiest to irritate despite Buttercups reputation for being the violent one. And there was no one who could get on her nerves easier than Brick. It was like a gift, he just knew exactly what to do to get on her bad side.
Blossom gave out a loud, incredulous shriek of fury and shouted "Brick Jojo! I HATE YOU!"
Brick laughed now happier than he had been that whole night. He was effectively reminded why he enjoyed 'playing' with his counterpart once again.
**Bubble's POV
Bubbles was steadily trailing her blonde counterpart. In her mind she was diligently repeating her opponent's strengths and weaknesses just like Blossom had taught her to.
Alright so this is Boomer Jojo. He's my counterpart and we share the same special ability. We are the 'energy experts' as my sisters dubbed us and that means we can manifest our physical energy into pure energy. When we run out of energy and are exhausted, we can't use our special abilities.
Bubbles gave a demonstration by forming an energy ball in her open palm and chucking it towards Boomer. He turned around in the air to fire an energy ball of his own in return. Our energies collided and exploded on contact. I flew through the smoke we created and puffed my cheeks in annoyance when I noticed him further ahead of me then he was a minute ago.
My attention was suddenly caught by a battle cry I could tell belonged to my sister. Buttercup and Butch were fighting on the top of one of the buildings I was flying towards, and I saw them in intense combat. Butch's fists were countered and dodge by Buttercup and she suddenly delivered an uppercut that sent him flying away. When he landed he immediately rocketed towards her at an incredible speed. Buttercup followed suit except rocketing upward at a vertical angle above Butch's head and left Butch hanging. Unable to stop his movements he collided into the side of another building. Suddenly she stopped and rocketed towards the area where he crashed and smoke piled around them as debris was flown around from their fist.
That was the greens special ability. Me and Blossom call it rocket stepping. They have the ability to immediately fly at top speeds instead of building up speed like the rest of us do. Their ability doesn't let them fly faster at all, but in close quarters they can move from one side of the field to the other in half the time it would take any of us. Their ability is really useful for them; it lets them fight very offensively at all times.
Bubbles gasped and shook her head as she realized she was still in the middle of a chase. She set her eyes with new determination on Boomer. Then, she yelled out in frustration when she realized he was even further ahead of her then he was earlier.
Boomer heard her cries and turned around with a chuckle. He stuck his tongue out at her childishly and pulled the skin beneath his eye down. This angered Bubbles even more than before.
Ok think Bubbles, he's stupid… That's something I can use against him. Suddenly she became aware of how close they were to reaching the end of the road. A distance in front of her she noticed an office building standing in the direct path her and Boomer were flying in. The road curved to the left and right around the building but Boomer still hadn't turned around to notice. I smiled and was ready to end this.
**Boomers POV
I was about to turn back around until I heard the most frustrated yell from her of all night. "That's It! were ending this RIGHT NOW!" She charged two energy balls in the open palms of her hands and flew at me with fury in her eyes. I grinned at the display and spread my arms akimbo and copied her idea. My energy balls were growing in rapid size and I was getting antsy to start a fight with her.
Before she got close enough for us to engage, I suddenly gasped out when my back collided with a concrete wall. I had successfully embedded myself into the wall and put a dent into it with my body.
I wasn't granted time to free myself when following my lack of concentration my energy spheres exploded in front of me. The blast was intense and hurt a lot, it was strong enough to blast me through the concrete wall and send me skidding along the floor.
When I stopped I groaned and brushed off the debris I collected around me. I looked around the room I had stopped in and noticed several tables and chairs. I rubbed my head where it collided with the floor and mentally slapped myself.
Idiot watch where your flying next time!... wait a second wasn't I just doing som-
My eyes grew wide and my mouth gaped open when I realized how close Bubbles had gotten. She still carried two super charged energy spheres in her palms and was thrusting them forward at me. I didn't even have enough time to finish standing up before I took both spheres head on.
The blast felt like I had been tackled by a running train and my body was launched like a ragdoll out of a cannon. I bolted through the air, charging through tables, walls, and the occasional chair as I cleared the remaining distance of the office building. Eventually I felt myself break through another concrete wall and was met by the cold air of the night as I fell towards the street.
My pain intensified when I created a small crater on impact with the ground, the sound reminded me of a bomb going off. I groaned in pain and sudden exhaustion. The area where Bubbles had hit me with those energy blasts was searing and the flesh was probably singed. I knew the chemical X in our bodies would heal the flesh with minimal burn damage, but until then it was going to hurt a lot.
I heard the familiar sound of one of the 6 of us in flight and then it stopped not too far away from where I was laying. I could tell it was my counterpart, who released a very triumphant huff when she was satisfied that I would not get back up. She flew away to rejoin her sisters while I laid there in pain… in a hole… in the middle of the street… all alone.
Not a fun day.
**Butch POV
Buttercup and I were having a brawl on top of one of the skyscrapers of the city. At least, that's what I would like to call it. I was huffing and puffing in exhaustion while Buttercup looked like she was in the middle of a warm up. I absolutely hated how she did that, and I wondered what she did to stay in such better shape. Then it occurred to me, one of Brick's numerous lectures coming back to mind.
Brick: Butch if you keep eating all that shit, it's going to make you feel like shit.
Butch: But Brick! How can anyone resist eating all this candy and fast food? Not to mention SODA!
Brick had put a disapproving frown on his face and walked away, while I continued pigging out on unhealthy food items.
I chuckled Yeah, definitely not going off my diet anytime soon.
Suddenly I came back to reality when I felt a straight punch connect to my jaw. "Hey! Make a move already dam it!" Buttercup was obviously growing irritated with the pause he was taking in his thoughts. She was never very patient.
Butch growled in anger but immediately caught a second meaning to her shouts. He smirked and said "Yeah Right!, maybe I would make a move if you were prettier!" Buttercup jerked back with a gasp, and then her face went red with anger. "What did you just say!?" Butch only chuckled to her dismay.
Yeah, her tomboy looks are still a touchy subject.
**Buttercup POV
My vision turned red and my head began to ache. It felt like if I got any angrier I might actually explode. Suddenly I rocket stepped towards Butch and forced my knee into his gut as hard as I could. He bent over in pain and I'm sure I knocked the wind out of him. I noticed him choke up a little spit from the impact and I hoped it hurt.
Before Butch recovered, I put my hands together to make a fist and brought it down on his back. Butch was sent sprawling face first through several floors of the skyscraper. Instead of following him I flew towards the side of the building and stopped about halfway down. I wasn't sure how many floors Butch would break through.
I was positive this would make Blossom angry and earn me a lecture later but I was too furious to care. I smashed against the building and toppled the upper half of the building, and it fell off and crumbled onto the street in glorious destruction. Butch was buried in rubble and probably in a lot of pain. I still didn't feel satisfied though so I flew down and positioned myself close above the debris, waiting like a predator.
The moment his spiky hair popped out I rocket stepped toward him like a missile and smashed his back into the concrete. He made a small crater, while I pinned him to the ground with my knees. I lifted my fist up and began pounding away at his face and chest.
The crater was growing in girth as my fist created shockwaves and I pushed Butch body further into the ground. Right after left followed by another right and another left I continued to wail on the Ruff. Eventually my energy ran out and with it my fury.
I huffed and puffed and got off of the stupid looking Ruff. I couldn't stand how much I hated him, especially right now. I growled and spit on his face before leaving to find my sisters. Butch was in a lot of pain and while I flew off I noticed him limping from his crater to find his brothers.
I hope he broke some bones.
I smirked at my cruelty and left him to wallow in his sad state.
A/N: So how was it? If you liked this don't forget to review. Quick question I was just wondering about, if I was going to use the Power Punk girls in my story does any know who I am supposed to give credit to?
Also just out of curiosity, I was wondering if you readers could tell me in your opinion what genre of music the Reds would listen to?
Interesting dilemma I have… I've already written what I want to include in chapter 3 but I haven't written chapter 2 yet. Funny story right? Haha what is wrong with me xD
