I own nothing except Beauty.
Her body was in pain. Not the kind of pain you felt when scrapped your knee or when you twisted your ankle. No. This was the kind of pain where your bones felt like it was made of entirely of broken glass and those broken shards were tearing at the inside of her body, ripping at every vital organ she had. All she could taste was her blood. Her hearing was failing her. Her vision was becoming blurry and dizzy. Her breathing became impossible. But she had to get up, she had to keep fighting. Buttercup can't give up now. Not after what he said.
-Fifteen minutes ago-
Buttercup opened her eyes and was instantly blinded by a flash of white. For a second, she believed that she was dead, but when she looked around, she proved her accusations to be wrong. Buttercup was in the nurse's office, a place that was completely unfamiliar to her. She had only been here when she would get sick, not for an injury. Usually, she would be one that would cause the injury to someone and that person would be sent here. Not the other way around. She tried to sit up, but she felt a sharp pain erupt from her lower abdomen region.
"Woah! Take it easy, now." Buttercup turned her head and saw her sister, Bunny, sitting beside her.
"Bunny?" Buttercup rubbed her forehead. "What happened? Why am I here?" The Bunny's face looked reluctant to answer.
"You…passed out all of a sudden."
"…what?" Bunny nodded.
"Yeah. We were running and all of a sudden you passed out. The nurse said it was probably from exhaustion. So you should just take it easy for a while." Bunny explained which left Buttercup confused.
"No…that's not what happened. I could have sworn Beauty punched me in the gut." Buttercup accused. "At least…I think so…"
Bunny giggled. "Boy, you must have hit your head harder than you thought." She smiled while Buttercup stared at her.
"I know what I saw." Ignoring her aching stomach, Buttercup jumped off the bed and stalked out of the room, with Bunny trailing behind her.
"Buttercup! You should stay in bed and rest!" Buttercup ignored Bunny and the school nurse, who told her to stay in bed, and walked out of the infirmary. She tried to remember what happened in gym class. She was jogging…then she was running. Then Beauty entered the scene and she saw a flash of orange and…she blacked out.
'What?' She thought. 'What's going on? Why can't I remember? I know that bitch knocked me out. …The question is why?'
"Buttercup! Wait up!" She didn't realize how fast she was walking until her sister ran to catch up. "Where are you going? Class is almost over; we can go back to the locker room and change." Before Buttercup could reply, she heard someone whistle at them. She turned around and saw Butch leaning near the wall with his arms crossed and a perverted smirk plastered on his face. Buttercup was already having a bad first day and he was making it worse every second she was around him.
"What do you want shit-face?" She glared. "Don't you have a class or something?"
He pushed himself off the wall and walked towards the girls. "Nah. That shit is too boring for me. Thought I'd skip for a while." He stood right in front of the green Powerpuff and gazed into her eyes lustfully. Buttercup remained undeterred. "Thought I could find something more interesting to do."
Once she felt his hand on her hips, she immediately pushed him away from her. Her eyes intensified in an electric green color. She glared daggered into her counterpart. "You picked the wrong girl to fuck with Butch. On any day of the week, I'd kick your ass, but now is not the time."
Without another comment, Buttercup took Bunny by the arm and they walked away from the Rowdyruff Boy. Then and there, Buttercup thought her problems would be over; that she wouldn't have to deal with anymore bullshit today. Until…
"What's the matter? Too chicken to fight me? I guess everything I heard about you is true over the years. You're nothing, but a scared, little bitch."
Buttercup halted in mid-step.
"…What did you call me?"
Oh shit…Over the years, as a Powerpuff Girl, Buttercup learned to control her anger and her barbaric fighting and did not to let the two mix. But over the years, she discovered that she had a "trigger word"; a certain word that would send her off into a wild frenzy of senseless fighting.
She had one "trigger word": bitch.
Yes, any woman on Earth would act completely different when this word was directed onto them but no, not Buttercup. She would turn into an unstoppable monster that would destroy anything and everything on sight until that person was dead.
Butch did his research. He knew all of this. His smirk grew.
"You heard me. You're nothing, but a cowardly, puny, girly, weakly, little bitch."
Then Buttercup remembered blacking out for a second than the next second she saw red after that. But every punch, every kick, every blow she landed on him did little damage unto him. Was his body made out of stone or something? No matter how much energy she used to back up her attacks, to Butch, it was nothing but a soft breeze. How did he get so strong? His attacks were merciless and brutal. Every blow she received from him made her witness the Holy Gates of Heaven opening their doors for her arrival.
Buttercup blinked once. Twice to make sure she was still alive. She tried to move her head but she felt her neck bone threatening to give way if she moved on more muscle. She couldn't feel her right arm anymore. Hell, she couldn't feel half of her body right now. She felt that her legs were still well and functioning, for now, but everywhere else felt as though her basic structure was about to collapse.
Her swollen green eyes gazed to her broken arm and witness the horrifying damage. It was decorated with fist-size bruises and hand prints and from her shoulder blade to her elbow was coated with blood. Her arm was swollen and lumps poking from under her skin threatened to rip her arm apart from the inside out. Those were her bones that she knew. They were broken in several different places. Her hand was twisted and the wrist looked as though it was about to brake part all together. Buttercup couldn't recognize her arm anymore. It was unnatural for it to be broken like this. But she couldn't stop using it and he couldn't stop breaking it.
Her body wasn't any different. One more hard punch from Butch and she knew that would be the end of her for good. All she could see was red; blood. Her chest was constantly on fire every time she moved, even to breathe. Blood continued to run down her body, infecting more of her open wounds making them sting and eventually causing her to bleed more. She felt her vital organs on the verge of eruption. Her lungs felt like they were burning in fiery blaze, her heart was rapidly pumping more blood that it received and her brain felt as though it was forever on hold.
Her supersonic hearing picked up the sound of footsteps. Large footsteps. She knew it was Butch looking for some more "fun", but she didn't have the strength to fight back—let alone defend herself. Buttercup stayed quiet under the pile of broken desks, chairs and rubble here she hid. Never in her life had she been so fearful for her life before until now. She was afraid that Butch could sniff out her fear and kill her on the spot. She didn't move. She didn't breathe as the footsteps walked around, what used to be, the chemistry lab.
"Buttercup…come out, come out wherever you are~" He called. "I'm not gonna hurt you…" She heard him turn over desks and chairs and smash a couple of objects along the way. "Come on…I'm tired of fighting…I just wanna have small talk. I'm not gonna kill you….Yet." The suspense was killing her worse than his beatings. Buttercup desperately wanted to use her X-Ray vision just to see what he was doing, but she knew that if she did that, he would sense her in seconds. All she could do now was close her eyes and prayed that he would move to a different room. She felt her hot tears leak out of her eyes and trailed down her cheeks. She moved her unbroken, but wounded, left arm and gently rubbed her broken arm. She bit her tongue making sure that she wouldn't make even the slightest sound. All Buttercup could do was wait.
"Buttercup….I know you're in here…"
Bubbles found herself on the ground with her skin slightly burnt and her mouth tasted…blue. Her vision was playing tricks with her as she witnessed a white rabbit running around an electric battery. She groaned and stood up to her feet as she tried to regain her train of thought. The Rowdyruff Boys were up to no good; that she knew. She remembered Boomer attacking her and Blossom with a powerful electricity and Brick attacked Blossom. So they should be battling each other somewhere. Buttercup was somewhere with Butch fighting him and her fatal injuries.
"I have to find Buttercup and make sure she's okay." Then she realized that she was alone. She frantically looked around the devastated hallway where she passed out. "Where's Boomer?" She thought out loud. If her sisters were battling their counterparts, than she knew that she'll have to fight Boomer, much to her dismay. She was afraid of fighting him and showing up weak in comparison. Bubbles wasn't a fighter like her sisters and nowhere near as strong, so she knew that Boomer would kill her with a swift punch. Bubbles didn't want that to happen; she just wanted all of this to stop.
Not knowing what else to do, Bubbles kept a light shield around her for protection and quickly ran to locate her injured sister. Her speed increased as she made different turns through each corridor. Bubbles eyes darted from left to right in case Boomer appeared with a surprise attack for her. But he wasn't around. She felt a pair of eyes following her every move but she couldn't pinpoint its exact location. She ignored it for now.
Then her eyes caught something moving quickly towards her. Without a second thought, Bubbles shot two laser beams to her right. The room exploded and there was nothing left but rubble and dust from the aftermath. Bubbles trembled as she made sure that the stranger was gone. Once the dust was clear, she saw nothing. There was nobody in the room; just her. She took a couple of steps back and made sure that her eyes weren't playing tricks with her again.
Bubbles stopped once her back touched something hard. She felt a body behind her. It was tall and muscular. A male. She gasped and her breathing became short. Her body shook like an earthquake as a sharp stream of pain shot from her lower back and traveled through her nervous system and spread to her entire body. Then she became still. Very still. She couldn't move her body an inch and couldn't activate her powers at all. Then, Bubbles knew that she was paralyzed. By Boomer. Bubbles wanted to cry, but she couldn't allow herself to do that. She had to be strong, even though she as terrified beyond belief.
She tried to speak but no words seem to form out of her mouth. Her lips were dry and so was her throat as she felt a pair of strong arms around her waist and stomach. She felt her counterpart's body moving closer to hers and his head lowered down to the crook of her neck. Bubbles didn't understand what he was doing or why, but she just wanted it to stop. She knew he was going to attack her and she wanted Boomer to attack her already and get it over with! The suspense was torturing her.
His right hand maneuvered around her developed bosom and reached to her chin forcing her head to tilt upward. Bubbles caught sight of her counterpart's face. His eyes were different, something she didn't expect to see. They were soft and loving instead of chaotic and violent. Bubbles stared deep into Boomer's endless blue eyes and was instantly lost in them. His thumb brushed against her lips as he tightened his grip around her waist and traced his fingers around her face. He moved his head back to her neck and let his lips brush against her skin causing Bubbles to whimper quietly. Boomer pressed his body against hers and pressed his lips firmly on her neck.
As he kissed her neck tenderly, the paralyzing effect wore off on Bubbles, but she was so immersed in the kisses that she didn't notice. His lips were so soft and gentle; she thought this was a dream. Her moans increased as he pressed his lips harder against her neck and caressed her cheek softly. Bubbles let her body melt by her counterpart's loving touches and wondered what made him do this, especially now, of all moments. Her and her sisters were in a middle of a battle and here she was allowing herself to be touched by her enemy. Bubbles wondered why she let herself do this.
"Boomer…" She moaned.
"I'm sorry." Boomer's eyes glowed blue as he sent a swift kick towards Bubbles' lower back, but she was quick enough to teleport ten feet away from him. She charged all of her energy into her hands and shot another energy beam at Boomer. However, Boomer deflected it with his hands and charged straight towards her. The blues advanced in a series of attacks that were continuously being dodged and blocked by one another. From a spectator's point of view, they seemed to be evenly matched, but in reality, Boomer was holding back. Bubbles knew this. She saw what his brothers were capable of, why shouldn't Boomer be any different? The real question was why was he holding back?
Bubbles caught an opening and pushed Boomer away from her with a swift kick to his chest. But he caught her foot at the last second and tossed her in the opposite direction. Bubbles landed on her feet easily and immediately blocked Boomer's assault. Bubbles shot a quick eye beam at the other blue and backed away from him. Without a moment to lose, Bubbles gathered her strength and power and formed a large, bubbly force field around him. Boomer tried to escape by running though the force field, but he wasn't successful; instead, he was bounced back inside. He stared at Bubbles for an explanation.
"What is this?" He asked. Bubbles gulped and backed away from him.
"I-it's one of my Bubble Fields. Once you're inside one, you can't break free until the time limit is up." 'This will give me enough time to find the girls.' Bubbles floated in the air, but her eyes never left Boomer's. "Have fun being trapped inside for ten minutes." She mocked sweetly.
Boomer glared at the force field in front of him. With a smirk, he gathered his strength into his fist and powerfully gave her Bubble Field a punch.
Bubbles gasped.
There was a large crack.
"Make that ten seconds."
The reds were at war.
The two raced each other as they played a never-ending game of "Cat-n-Mouse". Whenever Brick attacked, Blossom dodged. When Blossom attacked, Brick avoided. The two were neck and neck as they raced throughout the school and slammed into each other with a series of attacks. Unfortunately Blossom was taking more hits than Brick was. Blossom was forced to use shockwave after shockwave in order for Brick to keep off of her, but they were always short lived as he easily caught up with her. His speed was incredible!
Blossom made a sharp left turn as she avoided yet another full body assault from her counterpart. She took a deep breath sucking all the air around them and blew a ferocious gust of wind at Brick, which successful pushed him further back and made him crashed into a wall. Blossom took another deep breath, this time sucking in all of the moisture around her and converting them into a solidified state and blew out ice. Her ice breath consumed Brick's body, not leaving a trace of exposing flesh on him, and left him as a giant block of ice.
Blossom didn't relax though.
She noticed that the ice began to melt. Quicker than she had anticipated. Brick's frozen face turned red and the temperature around them skyrocketed. Blossom concluded. If she was ice, then he was fire.
In a burst of flames, the ice turned into a large puddle that touched Blossom's feet. Brick took off his cap and squeezed it of all the water soaked in it. "Cute trick." He placed it back on his head. "Is that all you can come up with?"
Blossom scoffed. "I'm just getting started." She beckoned Brick to charge at her. He smirked at the invitation and took a deep breath. As the temperature rose once again, Blossom took the opportunity to charge head first at Brick. However, Brick covered his hands over his fiery mouth and shot a series of smaller fireballs at her. Caught off guard, Blossom back flipped away from the fireballs and blew ice at each one turning them into ice balls of her own. Brick took this chance and punched the distracted Blossom in the jaw. She staggered back a little and gave Brick a swift punch of her own, but he instantly caught it and twisted her wrist and her body around to where her back was facing him. Blossom grunted in pain as she tried to escape his grasp.
"Well isn't this just interesting?" He spoke in her ear. "The mighty leader of the Powerpuff Girls, struggling. How does it feel to know that there is someone out there who is more powerful than you'll ever be?" Brick tightened his hold on her hand making the pink Powerpuff scream. "That's right. Scream. Beg. I want to hear it!" He took a fist full of her head and slammed her face onto the floor. Blossom felt her face rupture as blood poured out of her nose, mouth and skull. Brick whispered in her ear. "Beg. I want you to beg for me."
"Never!" Blossom's hand glowed bright pink and she shot Brick with another beam of energy making him release his hold on Blossom. The red Rowdyruff instantly recovered and landed on his feet. Blossom jumped up from her spot and glared at her counterpart. The two reds stared at each other until they instantly flew at each other sending never ending furies of attacks at each other. Brick kicked, Blossom blocked. Blossom punched, Brick blocked. Attack after attack after attack. It seemed to never stop, until Brick sent a powerful blow to Blossom's abdomen making her black out for a second and let blood escape her mouth. With the pink Powerpuff caught off guard, Brick proceeded with an uppercut to her jawline, leaving a large bruise.
Left with little options to do, Blossom jumped back from Brick and blew another Ice Breath. Brick countered it with a Fire Breath of his own. The two collided with each other and cause a large cloud of mist blocking their vision. As soon as the mist cleared, Blossom disappeared. Brick couldn't help but chuckle.
"Giving up already?" He floated in the air and took off in a different direction.
Blossom soared through the school at top speed dipping and dodging every pillar she saw. Her pink eyes darted from left to right and all different directions in high hopes that the red Rowdyruff wasn't following her. She knew that it was cowardly to leave in the middle of a fight but she was left with so little options left. All of her attacks and special abilities she threw on him, he managed to counter every single one of them easily. How did they get to be so strong?! Why us?! WHY NOW?! She stared to panic. Blossom shook her head of the possibility of losing.
Pull yourself together Blossom! You can beat them. The main priority is to find your sisters, mostly Buttercup! Her mind wandered onto the last time she saw Buttercup. Her sister looked as though she was on the verge of death, and for a second, Blossom thought she really was dead. She shook her head again and concentrated on the task at hand.
As Blossom passed the school cafeteria, a flash of gold caught her eye. Before she turned her head, she instantly slammed through the wall and into the empty cafeteria. Unfortunately for her, piles of chairs and tables broke her fall. Blossom cried in pain as she felt something sharp piercing into her left leg. She could taste the metallic taste of blood engulfing her mouth. Blossom looked down to find the cause of this. Her left leg was drowned in blood and it was overflowing from a large golden needle at was stuck to the ground. She wanted to cry louder but she was afraid that it would draw out more attention and Brick would easily have found her. Blossom took deep and slow breaths. She clenched her teeth as she prepared herself to pull the needle out of her leg. She took the needle in her hands and wasted no time pulling out of her. Blossom started to blackout from the immediate blood loss she was experiencing and quickly removed her pink tie from her collar and wrapped it around her injured leg to prevent any more blood loss.
After taking a few deep breaths and letting the pain subsidize for a bit, Blossom took the time to examine the cause of her injury. She picked up the needle and examined with her microscopic eyes. She saw—
"Isn't it amazing?" The sudden outburst made Blossom look up in surprise and panic. Her pink eyes went wide as she saw Princess standing in front of her. She was covered in a golden suit of armor and her eyes were glowing in an intense heat of yellow energy. The same energy that she and her sisters had. "It's made of an adhesive type of steel which makes it able to pierce through everything that claims to be "durable." I just coated it with a little Chemical X to make sure that it's 1000 times more likely to pierce through your skin."
Blossom tried to stand up and confront Princess, but her leg was crying in pain. Blossom pulled through the pain and stood up, not putting so much weight on her injured leg, and leaned against a nearby wall.
"What are you doing here…Princess…?" Blossom glared furiously into Princess's yellow eyes as she tried to catch her breath. Princess folded her arms.
"Is that anyway to speak to your Princess?" Out of Princess's hand shot out another golden needle and aimed it at Blossom's head. Blossom moved her head to avoid it, but the needle scrapped her cheek and slammed into the wall behind her. Princess stared into her pink orbs. "I have the power now. And this time, you will not stop me from what I want."
Using her good leg, she kicked Princess and pushed her as far away from her a possible. The needle retracted back into her hand and Princess gave Blossom an evil smirk. "Was that supposed to hurt?"
"No. But this is." Blossom picked up a long lunch table and flung at Princess and sent her flying to the wall. Princess imminently bounced back and brought her foot to Blossom's face. Blossom found her herself on the hard ground once again, but before she could pick herself up, she saw Princess lifting another lunch table above her head and aiming it at Blossom. The only though running through Blossom's head was: Where did she get these powers?
Before Princess slammed the table on Blossom's body, Brick flew straight at Princess and punched her on the cheek. The impact made Princess drop the table and fall to the ground. She glared at Brick as she rubbed her swollen cheek.
"Brick, what the fucking hell?!" Brick glared at her.
"Princess. What are you doing here? You know we already called rights here." Princess folded her arms.
"Well we thought we'd catch their attention by attacking the city, starting here." They instantly caught Blossom's attention. Who were they talking about? Were they talking about the Powerpuffs? No, something bigger than that. What could they be waiting on that made them want to destroy the city?!
"Find another prey, this one is mine." Brick stared at Blossom with a psychotic smirk painted on his face. All she wanted to do was beat that stupid smirk off of his face.
"I can't. Bunny and Beauty have the others." Bunny?! Why is Bunny involved in this mess?! Last time Blossom check, she didn't sense any powers on her purple sister. "Besides I need to try out my new powers on somebody!" Blossom clenched her fist and stood up catching their attention.
"I am NOT some kind of animal you can hunt for your own personal gain and enjoyment! Whatever you," she pointed at Princess. "and you," She pointed at Brick. "are planning, I promise you that I will defeat you with my very hands!"
Princess scoffed as she rolled her eyes while Brick rubbed his chin and pondered at Blossom's statement.
"So what you're saying is that you want to take on both of us? Is that right?"
What—?!
"NO! That's not what she's saying." Princess sneered. "Back off Brick!" Blossom almost pulled out her hair at the unknown insanity. She did the only thing she could think of, reverting back to her original plan. Blossom shot a heat ray at the two bickering super villains. Brick blocked it but Princess wasn't so fortunate. Blossom's keen eyes caught another one of Princess's golden needle planted into the ground a couple of steps behind her; Princess must have planted them everywhere as a trap. Before Brick made the jump on her, Blossom flipped back and pulled the needle from the ground and threw it at her counterpart. Brick easily caught it in his hands, but it distracted him from the real prize.
Blossom dashed for the exit. But before she could crash through the exit, she narrowly evaded a golden laser beam that apparently was aiming for her head. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a flash of gold advancing quickly towards her, but before Blossom could move an inch, she felt a strong grip pulling at her ponytail. She was tossed aside as Brick slammed into Princess and knocked her back. Blossom stopped herself from crashing into anything and prevented from having any more injuries. She blinked and let her brain process what just happened.
Did Brick….rescue me?
Without warning, Blossom received a swift kick in the stomach from her so-called "rescuer".
The kick sent her crashing through the walls and sending her back into the main hallway. Blossom hissed in agony as she felt her leg wound burning in intensified pain. The rubble and dust from the crash didn't help much either; she could feel specs of dust invading their way into her bleeding wound causing further infection. Blossom took a deep breath. She heard Princess and Brick fighting in the cafeteria and figured that they would be too busy to chase after her. Blossom took the perfect opportunity to run. She didn't fly because she'd knew that Brick would find her instantly. She stood up and carefully limped away.
She stumbled into the principal's office for a temporary place to hide. The room was probably the only place in the school that remained intact. Blossom slowly walked past the mahogany desk and sat on the leather chair. The pain in her leg began to subside as she relaxed off of it. But Blossom didn't come in here for a break. She closed her eyes and concentrated hard on her sisters.
I've only done this technique once, so let's hope I can do this again…
When she closed her eyes, the outline blueprints of the school appeared in her mind. It showed every room in the building. She focused on the current inhabitants in the building and on each of their energies. She was able to see many different colored dots in a certain area of the school. She saw a light green dot alone on the roof; that was definitely Buttercup. Blossom was relieved that she was safe. On the third floor, two dots were slamming into each other; one was dark green and the other was purple. Purple? Was that—? No, it couldn't be. Suddenly, the purple dot disappeared. Odd. Then, there was a light blue dot being chased by a dark blue dot. It was Bubbles, and she was—directly above her!
Before Blossom could act, she heard a large crash not too far from her location. She figured Brick and Princess must have moved their fight closer. Blossom stood on her feet, despite her pained leg, and flew through the ceiling into the second floor of the school. She flew into the direction she last saw her blue sister. Pink eyes darted from left to right as Blossom frantically looked for her sister. She caught saw of a light blue flash in the corner of her eye. Blossom turned around.
"BUBBLES!" The blonde Powerpuff turned her head when she heard her name. Bubbles caught witnessed of her pink sister floating a few meters away. Without hesitation, Bubbles flew straight towards Blossom and pulled her into a hug. Bubbles cried into her ripped sweater.
"Oh Blossom! I'm so glad you're okay!" She quickly wiped the tears away. Blossom took the time to examine her sister's wounds. Bubbles had a few cuts and scratch marks here and there. Her uniform was ripped and torn in several places but she wasn't severally bleeding as much as Blossom was. But, she saw Bubbles' hands.
"Bubbles…what happened to your hands?" Her hands were burnt to a black crisp as if she put her hands in an open fire for too long. They looked like they were starting to bleed. Bubbles held in her tears and refused to look at Blossom.
"I…" The girls turned around when they heard footsteps behind them. Boomer appeared from the background rubbing his head.
"Okay…that was a nice shot…" He winced. "But I bet you can't pull that trick—" He smirked immediately vanished once he realized that Bubbles wasn't alone. "Oh fuck…"
Blossom took notice of Boomer's appearance. Like Brick, not a scratch on him as well. Damn them! Blossom guarded herself in front of Bubbles. As she did that, Blossom sent a telepathic message to Bubbles.
"Bubbles? Can you still use your hands?"
"…A little…it just hurts a lot if I use too much energy…"
Blossom never took her eyes off of Boomer, who was scratching his head nonchalantly. "Listen. I'll handle Boomer. Buttercup is on the roof. She's alone, but I'm not sure for how long. Hurry up and get to her and heal her as much as you can. Do you understand me?"
Bubbles nodded. "I understand, but…are you going to be okay? Boomer is a lot stronger than he looks…"
"I'm just gonna keep him off of you. I can handle it." Blossom lied. "I'll meet up with you guys shortly."
"You know…I can hear everything you two are saying."
The girls' faces turned pale as they heard Boomer's voice interrupt their conversation. He stared at them with a bored expression on his face. "And I can't let that happen." He charged towards the girls as his right hand glowed in blue power. Blossom smirked.
"Bubbles! Fast Ball Special!" Bubbles curled herself into a ball and coated herself in a light blue energy shield. Blossom lifted her sister in one hand and tossed her at Boomer at lightning speed. Before Boomer could catch Bubbles, she uncurled herself and gave him a strong punch in the throat and knocked him against the wall. Blossom took a deep breath and completely froze Boomer with her ice breath. Blossom smirked at the frozen Rowdyruff. "No matter how many years have passed, you're still as dumb as ever, aren't you Boomer?"
"Blossom, we have to hurry if we're going to heal Buttercup." Bubbles reminded her.
"You're right. Let's hurry to the roof." With that, Blossom blasted a hole through the ceiling that led to the roof of the school. Unfortunately, they failed to notice that the body inside the iced wall was no longer there. The girls jumped through it and arrived to the roof. The weather was not how Blossom remembered it. The sky was covered in a blanket of dark clouds and the wind blew harshly past them. Blossom felt her sister tugging at her arm.
"Blossom! Over there!" She turned around. They saw Buttercup sitting against the wall with her head hung low. She wasn't moving. Blossom and Bubbles ran to their sister's side. A closer look, Buttercup was unrecognizable. Black and blue bruised decorated her body and blood poured from her face, arm and well pretty much everywhere else. Her arm looked grotesque and detached from the rest of her body. Blossom tried to hold back her tears, unlike Bubbles. She reached out to hold Buttercup, but she was afraid that she would hurt her even more. Blossom saw her chest was rising and falling slightly; she was breathing, that was good.
"Bubbles." With a nod, Bubbles began healing Buttercup. Her charred hands were brought before Buttercup's face, and her body lit up in a blue, sparkling aura. Eventually, small cuts closed up, wounds disappeared and bleeding stopped in some areas. Bubbles struggled to keep it going. Her hands were screaming for release of her power. Fighting with Boomer forced Bubbles to exert her use of her energy powered attacks to the point where her body was suffering. But she had to be strong.
Blossom heard a grunt. She looked up and saw that Buttercup was opening her fading green eyes. She was struggling to move her head, but it looked like it pained her more. "Buttercup, don't move. You'll only make your wounds worse. It's only us." She reassured, but Buttercup still continued. Buttercup lifted her head to face them. She raised her unbroken arm and forcefully pushed Bubbles' hands away.
"…What…are you…doing…?" She huffed.
"We're here to help you. And to stop the Rowdyruff Boys and we can only do it together!" Blossom said heroically.
"No…stupid…" Buttercup horsed. "Run…now…!"
Suddenly, Blossom and Bubbles were lifted in the air by a monster. Their necks were being crushed by strong meaty hands that were bigger than their heads put together. Blossom struggled for release of air as she attempted to pry the hands off of her.
"Kill…Powerpuff…." A deep rough voice spoke from behind. That voice…sounds…familiar…
As Blossom kicked and struggled to breath, she heard Bubbles coughing and hacking away what little breath she had left in her. She closed her eyes. Blossom tried to reach for her, but they were roughly thrown to the hard concrete ground. Blossom took sight at the attacker before her.
It was a monster. A grotesque monster, that was almost as big as an elephant. The skin looked pale and rough. It had brown, raggy hair wrapped in a short, messy, ponytail. It had a hunchback and Blossom saw that its forehead was large and it stuck out more than the rest of its head. Noticeable veil were popping out from her head down to her arms. The clothes it wore were their school uniform, but most of it was ripped apart due to its size and stature. The creature huffed through its mouth and its purple eyes glowed with the intent to kill. This reminded Blossom the book, Frankenstein, she read.
Blossom's pink eyes flickered to Bubbles, who was coming to, then back to the creature. She heard Bubbles gasp and held in her screams once she took sight to the creature. Blossom clenched her fist and summoned the courage to stand up to the monster. She took a step forward. Without a second to think, the monster roared and smacked Blossom's head back to the ground. The monster grabbed her ponytail and bashed her face repeatedly.
Blossom felt her face rupture as the blood sipped from her forehead, nose, mouth and anywhere possible. Once the monster stopped, the ground was caked with her blood. Blossom felt like she as going to die right then and there, but she couldn't allow herself to do that. She tried to move her head to where she could face the monster once again. She didn't see the monster, but she saw the monster's foot. It was going to step on her.
Before the foot was brought down to her cranium, something was knocked against it, causing the monster to be pushed back from Blossom. Then Blossom felt light powder on her body and most of her wounds started to close up, and the blood on her face had dried up, then she found the strength to stand up. She stood up to see Buttercup on her feet facing the creature and Bubbles right beside her.
"Buttercup! You shouldn't be up!" Blossom yelled. Buttercup's blood may have dried up and most of her wounds were gone, but her condition still looked fatal. She was in no shape or form to be able to stand on her two feet. Her green eyes glared at her pink sister.
"Shut the hell up!" She yelled louder. "I told you and Bubbles to get out of here in the first place!"
"We were only here to help and heal you as much as we can! We can't leave you behind now! We're going to fight together!"
"You think all three of us can take on THAT?!" Buttercup pointed at creature, which was getting back on its feet.
"We have to." Blossom said getting into a fighting stance along with Bubbles. "That's our sister."
Buttercup snorted. "That's no sister of ours if it's planning to kill us." Blossom and Buttercup quickly glanced at each other with hostile eyes before returning back to the monster.
"We have no other choice. Can you fight?"
"Yeah I can fight…but don't except me to punch with my good arm though…" She joked darkly.
"Just fall back for now. Bubbles stay back with Buttercup. Girls. Let's not hurt her too back; try to reason with her." Her sisters nodded at their command.
The creature glared at the girls and stomped her feet. "Powerpuff Girls hurt Bunny! ….Now Bunny hurt Powerpuffs…" Blossom took the indicative and charged at the purple Powerpuff. She swung her fist and punched Bunny at her chest. Bunny staggered back a bit before slamming both her fists to the ground. The impact sent shockwaves to the roof causing it to collapse together. Luckily the girls started to float in midair. Blossom looked down at the school. It was still standing, for now, but the roof was demolished! All she could see was the inside to the school.
Suddenly, the school exploded and the girls could see an array of color breaking out of the school and towards them. The Townsville High School fell. A yellow flew above them and past them, towards the City of Townsville and Bunny followed it soon after. Before Blossom could utter a word, lightning struck from the dark sky and onto the ground before them. The winds picked up and she could barely hear the loud screams of her sisters. Before she could turn around, Blossom was face to face with a pair of blood red eyes.
"Think you could hide from me, Blossy?" Brick said as he grabbed her neck. Her eyes darted from left to right in a desperate search for her sisters. Brick saw this. "Oh? You want to see your sisters?" He twisted her around so that she was facing Buttercup. Butch was holding her by the roots of her hair. She fell limp by his hold as blood caked her body once more. She didn't speak, move nor did she even breathe. Blossom didn't want to assume the worst but it already crossed mind. "Dispose of her."
"With pleasure." Butch tossed Buttercup like a ragdoll and threw her in the remains of the demolished school. Blossom wanted to scream for her sister, but the hold Brick had on her throat prevented her to do. She did hear Bubbles scream. She turned her head to see her blue sister being held in a chokehold by Boomer. Tears poured endlessly from her eyes as she cried for her green sister. The Rowdyruffs chuckled. Brick's voice brought Blossom back to her attention.
"And once we're done with you, we'll make sure that little blondie here gets the same treatment."
More tears poured from her blue eyes as the Butch and Brick set their eyes upon her; their next victim. She was terrified beyond belief. Look what they did to Buttercup and Blossom didn't look better off either. Bubbles wanted to scream but Boomer wouldn't allow it, the way he was holding her. She tried to struggle free but was unable to do so. Bubbles stared helplessly into her sister's pink eyes and saw the same fear and desperation that she felt. Blossom tried to summon the strength to fight back, but it seemed as though Brick's hold rendered her immobilized. Pressure points, Bubbles concluded.
Brick chuckled. "Well, sweet Blossom, it was fun. I enjoyed our time together and I hope that this isn't the last time we see each other." His hand intensified in a red glowed and red electric energy shot from it and struck Blossom. Bubbles could hear her screams of anguish and all she could do was watch as her sister was being mercilessly beaten right in front of her. She witnessed blood breaking through her skin. Once Brick stopped, Blossom fell limp at his grip. Bubbles cried louder.
"No…"
As she heard the Rowdyruff Boys' laughter, Brick dropped Blossom's motionless body onto the ground. Bubbles watched as her body fell and landed on the debris of the school with a loud crash. Brick's laughter was louder than the roaring sky.
"No…"
Bubbles reached her hand out to the ground in a sad attempt to rescue her sisters. Now she was left alone to fend for herself. She wasn't as strong as her sisters were. They were always there to protect her, to help her in time of need. Now was an immediate, dire time of need! Bubbles was the weakest out of the three, helpless and timid. She couldn't fight these boys by herself. Hell, she couldn't stand up to Boomer! And she was pretty sure he was the weakest like her. Bubbles cried louder.
"No…no…."
Brick and Butch floated toward her with a sinister grin plastered on their faces. Butch cracked his knuckles.
"And then, there was only one." He snickered. She felt Boomer's grip tighten as Butch floated closer to her. It wasn't painful, more like for protection. "What should we with this one? She looks breakable." He licked his lips making Bubbles whimper.
"No….please…"
Brick smirked as he stared at the violent sky. "I don't know." Bubbles felt as though the fate of her life was being decided by Brick. "And frankly, I don't care." He blood red eyes gazed upon her fearful ones. "Do whatever you please."
"…no!" She screamed as Butch ripped her away from Boomer's safe hold. This is it. This was the end for her. "No! No!" She yelled as she thrashed away from Butch's grip. He only laughed.
"Calm down, blondie. This will all be over soon." The grip on he had on her arms tightened painfully making Bubbles scream.
"NO! Please! Stop!" Her screams grew louder and louder.
"Oh! I love it when girls beg for me!" Butch grabbed her arms and twisted them around her back painfully. All Bubbles could do was cry and scream.
"NO! NO! NO!"
So many emotions were running though her. So many images of her sisters being brutally beaten stained her memory until the day she died. Bubbles couldn't fight against these boys. They were bigger, tougher, and stronger than her, so why bother to fight? The only chances of her surviving were lying defeated in a pile of rubble below her. Bubbles felt something swell up within her. It grew and grew until it was too much for her to handle. She had to let it out, but how?
Once Bubbles felt his slimy hand up her leg, she thrashed harder and screamed in protest. Something within her began to grow; a certain power—an energy—deep inside her ready to explode from her chest. It hurt so bad and she wanted desperately to let it out.
"NOOO!"
Boomer saw this and his face turned pale. He knew what was to happen. "BUTCH! STOP!"
"SHUT UP DIPSHIT!" Bubbles couldn't take it anymore. Whatever this was had to come out!
"NO! YOU DON'T—"
Bubbles opened her mouth.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" She let out her special supersonic scream, but this one is different from the other wails she had. This one was larger and louder than the rest. The scream reach throughout the entire city and shattered every glass possible. The residents and innocent civilians were instantly deafened or their ears were bleeding. Even the Rowdyruff Boy had to cover their eyes from the ear piercing wail. Their ears bled and they grew slightly dizzy.
As soon as Butch dropped his hold from her, Bubbles' screams decreased. That was one of the most powerful screams she mustered. Her throat had ruptured and blood poured from her mouth. She started to black out as she stopped her super powered wail. All she heard was several lightning cracks all at once and the yells of the Rowdyruff Boys. Bubbles couldn't concentrate on anything anymore. Her body seemed to fail her.
"YOU. LITTLE! BITCH!" Butch slammed his fist against her neck and instantly knocked her out cold. Her body plummeted to ground. The last thing Bubbles heard was the complaints of the Rowdyruff Boys, but then Brick yelled excitedly. A loud explosion was all she remembered before she brought into the darkness.
Things are about to get intense.
