Chapter 4
Ceremony
Disclaimer: I just own the plot and my OCs.
Junior's POV:
We were outside Megaville City Hall and there were rows of chairs filled with people waiting for the ceremony to start. There were many decorations outside and the building was covered by a banner that read "Thank You!" on it. Mom had mentioned that the ceremony was for some group called the Powerpuff Girls and another group called the Rowdyruff Boys. In one row of seats I saw several scientists sitting and taking notes. Among the scientist I noticed one of them was a weasel. Wait… why was a weasel a scientist in the first place? Weren't they part of the wild or something? I decided to just ignore it and continue walking. I was basically next to my sister Minnie and talking about how much mom was still the same person even as a kid. Dad on the other hand was still the same. He still follows mom's commands even when they are the most powerful beings in the Underworld. Dad may be Death and all but he still afraid of mom and her so called "anger" problem. We were just walking down looking for seats when we spotted some in the third row. We walked over there and sat on the seats. I turned to Minnie and whispered to her.
"Minnie, isn't kind of strange to be here right now?" I asked.
"Brother, what those thou mean?" she whispered back. I was about to answer her when we were interrupted by our dad.
"Hey, where'd your uncle go, mon?" he asked. I looked at where Logan was sitting and sure enough he was gone. Where did he go?
Logan's POV:
I got off my seat for a bit to answer a call that I was receiving. I went over to a small hill top that was not that far from City Hall. I looked around making sure no one was around. I pressed the button on my drifter and up popped the image of my sister. Her light brown eyes showed joy as she saw me.
"Logan, there you are! Where have you been?" she asked a bit concerned.
"I'm sorry Anna, we barely got here and we're at a ceremony right now. What is the problem Anna?" I asked her.
"Well Logan, I just wanted to make sure you three made it safely out of the drift gate. Where exactly are you three located?"
"We're in Megaville, and we're currently at Megaville City Hall attending a ceremony."
"I see, well I'm going to need coordinates of your current location."
"What for Anna? Is it important?"
"Well, don't you need extra clothes on this trip? You don't expect to stay in the same outfit every day." She did have a point we did need some supplies and basically I was going to have Grim Junior and his sister Minnie enrolled in one of the schools. I was thinking for a moment before I sensed dark energy around this area. I looked around expecting DarkWrath to appear, but I saw nothing behind me.
"Logan what's wrong? Do you sense that DarkWrath is near?" she asked.
"No, this energy feels different… almost like… never mind that. Listen, since we know that DarkWrath is here and planning on hurting their mother…" she interrupted me.
"Wait… their mom Mandy is in that timeline?"
"Yes, not only that she is a child and as for their father… well he is most likely under the command of her and her friend Billy."
"Yes, I've seen the history of that boy and well all I have to say is…"
"Sorry to interrupt but what about the supplies you were going to send?"
"Right… listen we're sending you extra clothes and some food along with…"
"One more thing Anna before I send you the coordinates."
"What is it now Logan?" she asked in an irritating voice.
"I'm going to need some of my equipment to be sent as well."
"Why do you need some your equipment sent? What are planning to do?"
"I'm going to try and finish the final version of the watch. You know the one our father built then gave the rest of the job to me to finish it."
"What about the watch? Don't you also need it?"
"I already have it with me. It is currently hidden in my drifter's storage unit."
"Ok I'll send you some of your equipment with the supplies but the coordinates first Logan."
"Alright here are the coordinates Anna." I pressed the buttons on my drifter and it started to send the information to my sister.
"Alright, I just gathered all the data. Let me just go gather your equipment and I'll activate the drift gate sending you three the supplies. By the way where are Junior and Minnie? "
"They're with their young mother at the ceremony along with their father. So far nothing bad is happening, yet I sense dark energy around here." I looked around for a quite a bit more before turning back around to my sister.
"Logan, listen I'm sending someone else to deliver the supplies to you three. He agreed to go and send it to you, but he requested that he wanted stay to help you guys search for DarkWrath." I was thinking for a moment as she told me about him. I knew who she was talking about but I didn't expect him to reply this late.
"Well, tell him we'll be waiting for him soon. How long will it take for the supplies to arrive here in Megaville?"
"It would probably take to an hour for it to arrive. I'll let him now that you agreed to let him join you."
"Ok, I'll chat later, right now I have to head back to see if anything is happening. I'll call when the supplies arrive."
"Ok, bye Logan I'll see you later." She ended our transmission and I began to head back to City Hall. Before I got back to my seat, Junior got up from his seat to ask me a question.
"Logan, where were you?" he asked.
"I was talking with my sister. She has informed me that she is sending us supplies." I responded.
"How long will it take?"
"About an hour, she also said…"
"Hey, you two, get back here. De ceremony is about to begin mon." Grim called.
"I'll tell you the rest later Junior."
"Ok."
We headed back to our seats and saw a man walking to the stage. I still felt uneasy after sensing that dark energy but I just shrugged it off.
Normal POV:
The people around waited anxiously for the ceremony to start. Several people were getting restless and others were simply falling asleep. Suddenly a man came up to the podium and made an announcement.
"Welcome everyone to Megaville City Hall! I'm the Mayor of Megaville and I would like to thank you all for coming." He stated in a happy mood. All the people in attendance were clapping and cheering. DarkWrath was watching the event from a tall building and thinking on how these people worship such pathetic heroes. He is still in disbelief of hearing that the Rowdyruff Boys were being worshiped as heroes. The mayor continued with the speech and the introduction of the heroes.
"I would like to welcome here today our young heroes who fought back during this invasion and helped saved thousands of lives of our fellow citizens and fellow scientists. Please welcome, Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup Utonium, the Powerpuff Girls!" Many people began to cheer and applauded. With that three colored streaks of pink, blue, and green landed on the stage. One of the girls had auburn-red hair which was long and tied into a high ponytail and she wore a heart clip on it and she wore a big red bow on her head. She wore a pink dress that matched her pink eyes and the dress had a single black line going across it. She also was wearing long white socks with black shoes. The second girl had blond hair that was tied up to pig tails and she wore the exact same dress as the red haired girl but it was blue that matched with her blue eyes. The third girl had raven-black hair that was at shoulder length. She wore the exact same dress as the other two but it was green that matched her green eyes. They all shook hands with the mayor and went to sit down on the row of chairs on the podium. There were nine chairs in total for the heroes/guests. The mayor introduced the next guests.
"Let's give a friendly welcome to Brick, Boomer, and Butch; Global Defenders own Rowdyruff Boys!" The crowd began to applaud and cheer again. Out of the sky three new color streaks of red, blue, and green appeared and landed on the podium. All three of them were wearing the exact same outfit of dark grey jumpsuit and the letters RR on it with fingerless gloves except for their armbands. One of the boys had auburn-red hair that was long and tied into a ponytail and he had on his head a red cap that was backwards. He had two red armbands that matched his crimson red eyes. The second boy had blond winged-like hair and like the red haired boy he wore two blue armbands that matched his blue eyes. The third boy had raven-black hair that was tied into a small ponytail and like the other two wore two green armbands that matched his green eyes. The three boys shook hands with the mayor and went to take their seats while several scientists wrote down the boys' action. As they were taking their seats the red ruff glared at the pink puff which she glared back at him. He turned his head around and took his seat. The blue ruff looked at the blue puff and thought that her hair looked beautiful today. The young blue puff gave him a friendly smile which made him blush a little as he took his seat. The green ruff glared at the green puff while she glared back at him. He simply smirked at her and took his seat. Buttercup turned around to not look at the Rowdyruff's face. She turned to her sisters and began to whisper.
"Blossom, I don't think they just appeared to help us out back in that nerd fair. They're planning something, and they want to destroy us like when we lived in Townsville." Buttercup whispered to her sister Blossom.
"Buttercup, I don't trust them as much as you do but, we have to be worried about it later." Blossom whispered back to her sister Buttercup.
"May be they changed for the better? Think about it, when Boomer and I were fighting alongside Dexter he seemed rather different than before. He seemed rather nice." Bubbles whispered to her sisters.
"Bubbles don't fall for any of their tricks. For all we know they can be planning on destroying us." Buttercup whispered back to her.
The mayor announced another special guest.
"Also please welcome local boy genius, Dexter!" The crowd began their cheers and applause. With that a boy came up to the stage. He too had red hair and wore a white lab coat along with purple gloves and black shoes. He was also wearing glasses. The boy who was named Dexter shook hands with the mayor and went to take his seat with the Powerpuff Girls and the Rowdyruff Boys. The mayor went on to introduce the next guest.
"Let's give a friendly welcome to Monkey!" Cheers and applause followed as a monkey came out of the sky. The monkey was wearing black latex suit with a black latex mask. He wore a golden M on his head and had a golden belt. He also wore golden gloves, golden glove shoes, and a little gold on his tail. He jumped excitedly and shook hands with the mayor. Monkey floated to his chair next to Dexter.
"Let's give a warm welcome to Megaville Elementary own Sensei Jack!" With that there were cheers and applause coming from the audience many of them being young fangirls. A man came up to the podium and bowed at the mayor. The mayor bowed back at him. The man known as Sensei Jack was wearing a white muscle shirt along with a blue sweat jacket and blue sweat pants with white stripes going down the sides. He had his black hair tied up to a small ponytail. After bowing to the mayor, he went to take his seat. He sat next to Buttercup and she showed a bit of red in her cheeks. At a distance one individual was looking through binoculars and staring at the green puff. She growled under her breath as she stared at her.
"That stupid Powerpuff will pay for sucker punching me. Red will also pay for interfering in our plans. Both of them will pay along with those two stupid boys that helped them." A girl with brown hair stated. She wasn't alone at the moment. She was with a girl who was dressed in a white Powerpuff uniform. She had flowing white hair that matched her white eyes. The young white puff was just thinking hard about the plan her father had instructed them to do.
"Samantha, there will be time for vengeance later. Right now we have to open the gate to unleash this beast." she stated to the brown haired girl.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know that; I'm just angry at that stupid Powerpuff. Okay where was the location again?" Samantha asked the white Powerpuff.
The white puff was a little irritated at her question, but she responded to her.
"Well, since you're always forgetting, we go to the top of that building that is across from the stage. You press the button on your watch that will open the gate that shall unleash our new friend."
"Alright, let's go Bell."
Bell's POV:
I began to carry Samantha and fly towards a nearby building that was not far or close to city hall so we couldn't be spotted. As we got closer, I saw that a man was already on the building looking over the crowd of people. We landed slowly so he wouldn't hear us. We couldn't see his face because he was overlooking the crowd. He had his back turned at us and he was typing some information into his strange device that was on his wrist. He looked tall, probably around seven feet. His hair was at shoulder length and it was Dark-Brown. He was wearing some type of armor with a shoulder pad covering his left shoulder.
"Who is this guy?" I whispered to Samantha.
"I don't know but look he has something on his wrist." She whispered back. I looked at him again and the device on his hand seemed to have been scanning the crowd.
"What do you think it does Samantha?"
"I don't know, but I'm going to take it from him and find out." She responded and began to creep slowly behind the guy.
"Don't do it. He might see you." I whispered/yelled to her.
"Yeah right, he is too busy doing stuff to notice me." She whispered/yelled back. I couldn't bear to watch any longer as she began to pull out a baseball bat to knock the guy out. I just closed my eyes not wanting to see the scene that was about to take place. All I heard was the sound *Whoosh* then a *Bam*. Then what ever was hit landed with a *Thud*. I heard a moan as the person was badly hurt. I opened my eyes to see Samantha on the floor and the man was standing and facing us. I saw the rest of his face and it looked as if it had almost no emotion. His eyes were Dark-Brown as well and a scar ran over his right eye. It looked kind of creepy. Well, Samantha was down and out and I was left alone facing this guy. I began to go to fighting stance.
"It's not going to work." He spoke. Wait, what was not going to work?
"Your plan to unleash that Mecha is going to fail." Did he just read my mind?
"I see that you're trying to process the information I'm giving you, young Bell."
"Ok, I don't know who you are and why you are here… wait, how do you know my name?" I asked him.
"Simple child, I have information on you and your friend Samantha, here on my drifter." He responded to my question.
"You're what?"
"My drifter child, it allows me to travel through time and parallel worlds. It also allows me to scan an area to gather information of its history." Travel through time and parallel worlds? Is he serious? I looked at him one more time before asking him my next question.
"Why were you scanning the crowd then?"
"I was searching for my targets. The scan was nearly complete until you two landed."
"Wait, you knew we were behind you. How did you know?"
"I sensed your energy. I basically knew both of you were behind me the entire time." Samantha began to move again. I began to notice her getting up and looking angry at the guy that knocked her out.
"HEY! You… I'll get you for that!" She yelled at him.
"Now it's not the time Samantha." He responded to her.
"Wait, how do you know…?"
"As I already told Bell, I used my drifter's information on both of you."
"Wait, it has information on both of us?" I asked.
"Not just both of you young ones, but of every hero and villain in history. I'm merely a traveler."
"A traveler? What type of traveler has such a fine component on his wrist?"
"Samantha, I think what he trying to say is that he is not from here."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, look at him; he's…" As I looked back at where the guy was standing, nothing was left but a note. We went over to the note and I bent down to pick it up. It was a very short note, but it was like a command. The note read:
Bell and Samantha,
This plan isn't going to work. There is going to be an interruption caused by my brother and the Reaper's children. The Mecha isn't that powerful to handle the combine might of the Powerpuff Girls, the Rowdyruff Boys, and those two brats. This is your only warning. Listen now before its too late young Powerpuff and Cyborg.
DarkWrath
So his name was DarkWrath. What did he mean by the Reaper's children? I read it again until Samantha took the note and tore it to pieces.
"Hey! Why you tear up the note?" I asked her.
"Because, he's a stupid moron. I mean come on "Reaper's children". That is nothing but crap. How dare he call the Mecha not "powerful"? I mean we found it in the ocean near Japan. He is simply pulling our leg." Samantha responded.
"I'm not so sure Samantha. He seemed serious. He…"
"He… NOTHING! Let's just get the Mecha ready for this thing." Well I wasn't going to convince her anytime soon. We began to put the location to activate the portal to unleash the Mecha we found. I don't want daddy to be mad.
DarkWrath's POV:
Pathetic, Bell seems to follow my warning, yet she still has to follow her father's orders. Samantha on the other hand seems reckless towards the warning I left behind. I could still feel her anger of me for knocking her out, but you would have to wait. Since you ignored my warning, I'll have no choice but to help you out.
Blossom's POV:
Blossom's Thoughts
It's still hard to believe that we are being honored here today. I mean we've been here in Megaville for almost half the year and now we're here with our friends and the Rowdyruff Boys. I'm still shocked to learn that the Ruffs are here. I thought they were… my thoughts were interrupted by the mayor's voice.
"Blossom, would you like to give your speech?" he asked me. I looked up and saw the crowd of people. There were so happy to be here, and I felt a little nervous about this. Don't get me wrong, I've always given speeches in the past but that was back in Townsville and well since Megaville is our new home… I feel nervous. I felt a hand on my shoulder and I turned around to see Dexter give me an encouraging smile.
"Blossom, don't be nervous today. Today is a day of being happy and grateful. If it wasn't for you, the ion bomb would have doomed us all." He told me. His reassuring words made my nervous go down a bit.
"Dorkster's right leader girl, you don't need be a worried dog. Just go up and say your speech." My sister Buttercup assured me. I saw Dexter give her a glare and she just smirked at him. Well both their words made me feel better, and I decided to go say my speech. I looked back at them and they were motioning me to continue. I saw Bubbles give me a smile, Monkey jumping and doing flips (which I thought was cute.), and Sensei Jack give me a nod. I was relieved at their kindness, and I was feeling much better then I looked at the Rowdyruff Boys. I saw Boomer was looking into the sky as if he was thinking of something and Butch fell asleep on the chair. I turned my gaze to Brick and saw him looking down. I could tell he was probably thinking of something to have us fight him and his brothers. He raised his head and looked at me. He still looked mad at me. Probably because we…
"Blossom, do you want to do your speech?" The mayor asked me.
"Huh? Oh! Yes, I'm coming." I responded. I headed to the podium and began to prepare my speech. I held the note cards that contained my speech, and I began to clear my throat. I looked into the crowd of people seeing the Professor and Dr. Wakeman. Well it's now to begin the speech; I just hope nothing bad happens.
"It's an honor to be here today, and it has been a tough time for all of us. With so much that has happened the last few weeks; well being here today with everyone has been one of the greatest…" I suddenly saw that the sky go from clear blue skies to dark an ominous. I saw the crowd getting confused and then some hole started to open in the sky and something was coming out.
Logan's POV:
I looked around to see that the crowd of people was looking confused. I was wondering why it got dark all of sudden. I looked into the sky and saw that a vortex was opening. Did my sister's package already come? No, that's not drift gate vortex but a battle vortex.
"Logan!" I turned around to see Junior and Minnie looking at me for an explanation.
"Logan, what's going on?" Junior asked me.
"I don't know, but it has something to do with that vortex." I pointed to the sky were a dark red vortex had opened. Something started to come out of the vortex and it looked big. I saw this machine-monster come out and the crowd began to panic.
"Logan, what is that thing?"
"It's called a Mecha, and it's not any ordinary Mecha. It's Mecha…"
End of Chapter 4
Author's Note: Well I hate to end this in a some what cliffhanger, but I'm tired of typing. Well as you can see I decided to add a Mecha into this story. It might be easy to guess the Mecha. Whoever guesses the Mecha is going to be mentioned in the next chapter. Good luck and see you all in the next chapter.
