How was that? I thought it was pretty good, but I want to know what you thought.

Anyhow, I have to play soccer soon. Not that my team is good at it, we lose every week and we lost all last year. But hopefully we'll win this week.

Chapter 4: Who'd Expect The Fire!

Brick's POV:

Perfect, this was just what I pictured. "Why did you three boys return the money and not the Power Puff Girls Z?" The reporter asked.

Butch smirked, "They must be slacking off at their jobs," he replied smugly.

"But we took it from-" Boomer began and Butch gave him a very squeezy hug. "Ouch, I-I can't breathe." Butch let him go and Boomer went silent.

He better stay that way too, I was not having him ruin everything just when it was working perfectly. "We truly don't know, we just thought we might help. I'm sorry the Power Puff Girls Z let you down," I pretended to be upset. Only if.

"Are you three new superheroes?" The reporter inquired getting more excited each second; she was the first of many to interview us on live TV.

"We've got more powers than the Power Puff Girls Z and clearly we did a better job today," Butch answered and he gave the camera a winning smile. Only if I could get Boomer to be so smart as to play the crowd like him.

"Brick says we are-" he began.

"Well, what my brother means is that we'd like to think of ourselves as superheroes, we'd like to think of ourselves similar to the Power Puff Girls Z," I said smoothly. We couldn't gloat, the crowd didn't like a sore winner and so I had to take no credit in front of those idiots.

"Well, it's safe to say you are similar to the Power Puff Girls Z since you have powers and returned the money." I loved this reporter, "Do you have a name for yourselves?"

We nodded together, "I'm Brick, this is Boomer and that's Butch," I introduced the cameras.

Butch pushed me aside and gave them a charming smile, I'd be able to do that too if that bitch hadn't made my nose bleed. "And we're the Rowdy Ruff Boys!" He announced and the crowd that had been thanking us before now went dead silent.

I gave them a friendly smile, glad that I had mostly fixed my nose and wiped the blood off my face. "Don't worry, after… after what the Power Puff Girls Z did to us, we realised how horrible we were and that we should aim to be more like them," I lied.

The crowd calmed, idiots. "So, you really are the Rowdy Ruff Boys?"

We nodded, "In the flesh," Butch responded.

"And you've changed your ways?"

We nodded, "We're heroes now as you can see, we did what the Power Puff Girls Z couldn't be bothered to do-"

"Hey, you little monsters!" My smile twitched at the interruption. My eyes went to the shit and I saw the Power Puff Girls Z themselves.

"Buttercup, calm down," Bubbles pleaded and then my eyes focused on Blossom. She was depressed and her cheeks were red with embarrassment, good.

Buttercup went right up to us, "You're a bunch of monsters! You bashed the living crap out of Blossom and took the money! We did all the work! We got rid of Mojo, we got the animals back to the zoo and we got the money back!"

I smirked at her, "Oh, really? We did nothing to Blossom and we only took the money from Mojo Jojo. We knew where his secret lair was, we went in there, we grabbed the money and we returned it," I stayed calm.

"That's a bunch of bull-"

"Buttercup!" Blossom warned.

The reporter rushed over to those bitches, "Is this true? The Rowdy Ruff Boys are now heroes and doing your jobs while you do nothing?"

Blossom gaped, "WHAT? NO! Of course not!" She shrieked and we snickered since the cameras were all on them. "We were defeating Mojo and getting the animals under control when they showed up. We were doing our jobs before they interrupted like they had yesterday, they're the reason Mojo got away with the money in the first place!"

"Yeah, all because they're attention seeking whores!" Buttercup snarled and our smiles grew.

"So, the Rowdy Ruff Boys aren't heroes, they're only getting in your way?"

"We're only trying to help," I responded as if I was offended.

"Well, you aren't doing a good job at it!" Buttercup snapped. "You aren't fooling anyone here, you're only doing this to get attention!"

Blossom put her hands on her hips and my eyes were drawn down…

I shook my head, what the hell was I doing staring at her skirt? "The Rowdy Ruff Boys distracted us yesterday, on purpose, or not and caused Mojo to get away. Today, they took the money from us-me and returned it in an act to get back at us!" Blossom said and I gasped as if I didn't understand how she could say that.

"So, you aren't working together?" The reporter questioned and that got us both annoyed.

"Of course not! They're the bad guys!" Buttercup screeched.

"We'd never work with-I mean, they won't let us help them because they want to get all the credit!" I cried and sighed with relief, I had nearly said the wrong thing there.

"But wouldn't it be better for the city if you worked as a team of six superheroes, not two teams of three that can't stop arguing with each other?"

"NO!" Buttercup shouted with Butch.

"The Rowdy Ruff Boys aren't heroes!" Blossom cried and my eyes flickered to those hips that she had her hands on.

"That was perfect!" I boomed when we got home and I was pleased with the hundred and… twenty six autographs I had done all for the city of Townsville.

"Oh, I know! Did you see the look on their faces? PRICELESS!" Butch was as ecstatic as me, "THEY WERE SO ANGRY!"

"So… we're heroes now?" Boomer asked because he was confused.

I zoomed over to him, hugged him and lifted him off the ground. "YEAH! HEROES, BROTHER!" When I released him Boomer looked more baffled than ever.

"You hugged me?"

I didn't even get angry about that and Butch was dancing on the dining room table. I began to laugh hysterically and in the end I was on my back lying on the floor cackling so hard the walls were shaking.

Everything had been perfect, absolutely perfect. I couldn't ask for anything more. That had been everything I had imagined and only on the first deed, what would it be like when we out-heroed the Power Puffs?

Izzy's POV:

Blossom and Buttercup were furious. But the Rowdy Ruff Boys were being heroes, and I guessed we'd share the job like how in Kate's soccer games they had spare players so that the others could have breaks, not that Kate ever got put on the bench.

"Kate, can't we just take turns? One day we fight crime, the next day they fight crime and then the day after that we can fight cri-"

"No way! I'm not taking turns with them!" She was furious at the idea, but it didn't work when we fought against each other because we messed up, you could see that by yesterday and the day before that. "They're trying to steal our job and if we take turns they'll just take advantage of that!" She was disgusted by the idea.

"But that would help the city if there were six heroes," I told her and she glared at me. I didn't make the Rowdy Ruff Boys come back.

"NO, IT WOULDN'T!" Jamie cried and the class went silent.

"Miss Howard, would you like to tell the class what you're all worked up about?" The teacher asked.

Jamie turned red with embarrassment, "Ummm… no, thank you, miss... I'm sorry, I didn't-I didn't mean to disturb your teachings miss," she mumbled.

The teacher went back to teaching. "Why wouldn't it work, six people with super powers all fighting crimes as a team, that sounds better to me?"

Kate and Jamie leaned in close to me with glares on their faces. "They aren't heroes. They aren't on our side and they'll just mess everything up," Jamie told me softly and calmly.

"And we can't work with our enemies! They're the Rowdy Ruff Boys, basically clones of us, although evil and cooties terrified!" Kate hissed angrily.

I nodded, "Yeah, I guess you're right… they are evil… and it would be really awkward working with the Rowdy Ruff Boys," I agreed.

"You don't really want to work with them, do you?" Jamie asked and she didn't like that idea, she liked that idea as much as Kate did.

I shook my head, "No, but I thought we might have to work with those guys."

They both shook their heads. "I'd rather claw my eyes out," Kate muttered. Kate turned to Jamie, "Should we find out how they got all these powers, grew taller and older?"

Blossom shook her head. "We need to focus on our jobs, the Rowdy Ruff Boys still can't beat us when we're working together. We don't need to know all that, we shouldn't waste any energy on them," Jamie told us.

"Do we have to kiss them again, because it didn't really seem to work the first time?" I inquired and Kate looked as if she was about to be sick.

"I'M NOT KISSING THEM!" Kate snarled, she crossed her arms over her chest and closed herself in that shell she had.

"None of us will kiss them, it didn't destroy them the first time like Izzy said and I told you we won't waste any energy on those idiots," Jamie responded sensibly.

Blossom's POV:

Crime happened every day, about three times a day… but since Him had disappeared the crime rate was down. We didn't have anything to do until the next day when we were talking with the Professor, he was helping us be a better functioning team.

We didn't even have to look, we saw the monster outside the window before our belts even went off and dashed to it.

The monster was taller than the buildings like a lot of them and it was just strolling over the city gazing around blankly.

"Do plan C20H," I instructed and cursed the Professor for making such hard code words. But thankfully since the Professor forced us all to memorise them as he watched, the girls knew what I meant.

"Got it," Buttercup said.

"Me too," Bubbles added.

"Let's go!" We shot off through the sky. First step: Buttercup distracts with her loud voice, her rude attitude and her aggressive behaviour.

"HEY, OVER HERE, NITWIT!" She called at the blue dinosaur looking thing; it was pretty basic looking for a monster. "I BET YOU'RE AS STUPID AS YOU LOOK! I BET YOU COULDNT CATCH ME IF YOU TRIED!" She twirled her hammer around and when the monster's eyes went to her she slammed her hammer into it's nose so it howled loud enough to make the city shudder.

Perfect. Second step: Bubbles goes up behind the monster.

My eyes flickered to the monster's ginormous shadow and sure enough Bubbles was there, ready for the next part.

Third step: I fly down to h-

The monster opened it's mouth wide and blew out it's breath… of fire. I could feel the heat from here and thankfully Buttercup had seen the fire rising in it's throat and gotten out of range.

"Continue to distract it! Just stay away from it's mouth!" I cried out to her and she nodded without glancing at me.

I began to zoom off; we had to get rid of this monster quickly. Third step: I fly to it's feet and stay completely undetectable as Buttercup steered the monster. She'd make sure it didn't crush any people and that it caused as little damage as possible as it strolled over the city, and I'd do my part just as Bubbles did hers.

I pulled out my yo-yo an-

"YOU'RE UGLY, AREN'T YOU?" Someone called and I knew it was Butch. Not them again, why had they decided to be heroes now?

Suddenly the monster turned and nearly stepped on me. I quickly dashed out of the way and then glared at the three boys floating in the air, they were smirking at the monster and Brick's eyes were on me. He was smug.

I turned back to the monster's feet, "PLAN C20H!" I bellowed and quickly tied the monster's feet with my yo-yo before giving my best yank.

Bubbles made this humungous bubble above the ground as not to touch the citizens behind the monster and the creature roared as it began to tumble backwards.

I looked up when I heard more than just the monster to see that the creature was grabbing –and crushing- the nearby sky scrapers.

"BUTTERCUP, BUBBLES, GET IT'S ARMS UNDER CONTROL!" I commanded and they began to move instantly. I held my yo-yo tightly and yanked all the harder to make it fall faster to get this over with.

Buttercup slammed her hammer into a shoulder so it cracked and Bubbles put the nearby buildings all inside bubbles for protection.

I undid my yo-yo or I'd begin to fall with the monster and then there was… silence as the monster landed on the humungous bubble.

I flew up to the girls and gazed down at the monster, "What now?" Buttercup asked. "It's still very awake." The monster was already getting back to it's feet.

"Plan X66683FL," I replied and decided that when I got back to the lab that I'd make an easier code. I wasn't sure if the plan I was thinking of was called X66683FL, or if it was X77693XL.

But I must have said the right one because as the monster straightened in the fencing of enormous bubbles Buttercup was zooming to it's shoulder, -the one she cracked- and Bubbles was floating around the creature's feet.

I zipped to Buttercup, "On the count of three." My eyes flickered to the Rowdy Ruffs, they were watching curiously and still smirking. "One, two, THREE!"

I wrapped the yo-yo around it's shoulde-

"BLOSSOM, BUTTERCUP, LOOK OUT!" Bubbles screamed and my eyes went to the monster's head. It opened it's mouth in our direction.

"Oh shit," Buttercup mumbled as we saw the back of the beast's throat turned a bright dangerous red.
