Brick and Boomer put on an extra burst of speed, zooming off ahead of Raziel, and Butch. Butch followed only a little behind, while Raziel landed on the top of a building. Raziel stood on the ledge watching as Butch and the others flew into battle. He turned to his left and saw Neo sitting on the ledge next to him.
"Where did you come from?" Raziel asked.
"Nothingness." Neo replied
"Oh yeah, now I remember."
"So… you really think they need to do this on their own, Raziel?" Neo said swinging his feet like a child.
"Yeah I do… They're strong. Really strong, but I've given it some thought and… well... Not one of them would have survived any of our other assignments. I can only imaging that we are here to keep them alive until they are much stronger."
Brick and Boomer hit first striking the monsters eyes with heat vision before breaking off to either side. Butch came in next, slamming headfirst into the monsters face. The beast slid backwards into a building leaving a giant impression where it had smashed away the concrete. The girls hit next, flying from the ground up to build up speed and hitting the lizard squarely in the chin. IT fell backwards crushing the already ruined building and lay there stunned.
Brick and Boomer flew together, and started to congratulate each other. Butch moved to join them but before he'd covered half the space between them he was hit by a green streak.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING? QUIT STEALING MY FIGHTS!" Buttercup screamed as she carried Butch even higher into the sky.
"Wow… She sounds pissed." Brick said.
"Yeah, no kidding." Boomer replied.
"I wonder if the other two are mad."
"Doesn't look like it. They're just waving at us."
"Really?" Brick said looking around for Blossom and Bubbles.
"Yeah and they're yelling something. I can't quite make it out… Sounds like… 'get out'… Oh I know they're saying get out of the way." As Boomer finished he and his brother turned just in time to be plowed by a beam of light, and the two of them were crushed into the street.
"Well, that was kinda boneheaded, huh?"
"Shut up, Boomer."
The two of them climbed out of their separate craters and looked at the creature that had blasted them. It was basically a huge sphere covered with eyes, except that it had dozens of tentacles sprouting from it, each of which had its own eye on the end, and it had an enormous mouth that had rows up rows of razor sharp teeth.
Brick and Boomer grinned as they zoomed upwards at the creature.
As Butch parried and blocked the angry raven haired girl's attacks he found one word kept occurring to him. The word was, 'Damn.' It wasn't usually by itself, instead being a part of a sentence, such as 'Damn, she's strong.' Or 'Damn she's fast'. Once he thought 'Damn she's beautiful,' followed shortly by 'Damn she has a great ass.' That was right before she kicked him in the head.
As the pair fought Buttercup's attacks grew swifter and stronger, but Butch stubbornly refused to hit back. This left Buttercup free to strike without worrying about a counterattack but at the same time only made her angrier.
"Why… Won't you… Hit back?" as she tried again and again to kick him. She squeaked slightly as he grabbed hold of a kick she'd aimed at his head.
"Because…" Butch said grunting slightly as from the effort of holding the kick back. "I don't hit girls." He finished as he swung her away from him and into open air.
"Oh? So now I'm too weak to bother fighting? Is that what you're saying?" She said, charging for a punch.
"I didn't sa-" Butch started to say but was cut off by an earsplitting bang and suddenly both he and Buttercup were engulfed by a huge beam of yellowish-white light.
"Raziel," Neo said watching as Brick and Boomer zigged and zagged around the eye monster. "Do we really have to stay out of the fight?
"No…" said an echoing slightly girlish voice. "I'll be happy to kill you myself…"
Neo turned to see a glowing red being behind him. He wore black boots that came up to the middle of his thighs, and pink ruffles around his neck and waist.
"What's this flamer doing here…?" Raziel said shaking and putting his hand over his eyes.
"Ha ha. You say that like you think you touch me." Neo said laughing and turning his back on HIM.
"I EAT PIECES OF SHIT LIKE YOU FOR BREAKFAST!" HIM screamed at Neo's back.
"Well, you are what you eat." Neo said. Raziel laughed as the demon roared and charged Neo, who turned, planted his feet on HIS chest and threw HIM into empty space.
"Can I? Pleeeeeease?" Neo begged.
"I guess…" Raziel said still chuckling. Neo grinned widely and jumped off the ledge, towards the unfortunate HIM.
Brick flew at the giant eye speckled monster dodging the blasts of light shot from the eyes at the ends of the creature's long tentacles. He landed on its skin and grabbed one of the eyestalks by the base and began to pull. It came off and geyser of green goo spilled from the hole. The monster roared in pain and blasted Brick with three different beams, sending him through a large apartment building.
Brick started to go back for another eye but stopped when he noticed Blossom in trouble. The giant lizard had woken back up and Blossoms attacks weren't doing anything to slow it down. Suddenly it snatched her out of the air, and Brick screamed as it threw Blossom into the air and it's jaws snapped shut around her. The creature swallowed and Brick charged fully intending to rip the beast limb from limb. Before he even got close the creature rapidly turned an odd shade of blue and stopped moving.
"Clever girl…" Brick mutter as he realized what had happened. The lizard shattered from the inside out and Blossom flew out, not a scratch on her. Brick saw her flash him a quick smile before pointing to the newest threat, A giant tree monster and waving for him to follow.
"Yes Ma'am." He grinned as he flew to join her.
Boomer watched as his brother ripped the tentacle out, and was struck by an inspiration. He flew down to a building and tore a long chunk of the concrete from the building and quickly carved it into a blade. He flew back at the creature and using his pure speed to overcome the blades blunt edge he started slicing through the eyestalks and carving gouges into the creature's skin. The monster roared in fury and rolled to point it's mouth at Boomer. The back of the beast's throat began to glow.
"Oh shit."
A blast of energy sent Boomer spinning high into the air. After a few moments of out of control, head over heals flight he finally got himself under control but realized that his weapon had been disintegrated.
"Want a hand?" A sweet voice said from his left. Boomer looked and saw Bubbles holding two swords like the one he'd made. She was holding one of them out to him. Boomer took it and smiled
"Sure."
"WHY ARE YOU STILL HITTING ME!" Butch yelled as Buttercup tried to punch him once again.
"WHY DIDN'T YOU WARN ME WE WERE ABOUT TO GET BLASTED!"
"BECAUSE YOU WERE TRYING TO KICK MY ASS!"
Buttercup glared at Butch and Butch glared right back. The giant scorpion that had blasted them roared.
"SHUT UP!" They yelled in unison. The scorpion reared back for a moment and then began to charge a blast from its tail. A white ball of light appeared on the tip of it's stinger. Only a moment later the same blast that had knocked them out of the air shot at Butch and Buttercup. Without taking their eyes off one another both of them put a hand out and caught the blast which quickly dissipated.
"Can we kill him first?" Butch asked. Buttercups eyes narrowed but Butch sensed something other than animosity behind them.
Perhaps rage.
"Fine." Buttercup said and Butch thought he noticed a hint of a smile as she kicked the scorpion in the mouth.
Raziel smiled as he watched Neo kick HIM in the head. Something was bothering Raziel though. He felt odd, like someone had dropped an ice cube down his spine. Something was wrong here and he thought it might have something to do with the odd number of Godzilla movie rejects running around. What bothered him the most was the familiarity of the feeling. He'd felt this before… if he could only remember where…
And as Neo kicked HIM in the head again Raziel knew what was about to happen. In less than an instant he went from bemused to furious. He leapt off the top of the building head first and flew towards Neo and HIM. Raziel slammed a fist into the demon's cheek and sent him flying down the street. Before Neo could say anything Raziel was chasing HIM down. Raziel grabbed HIM by the throat and held him in mid-air.
"WHERE IS HE YOU FREAK!" Raziel yelled into his face.
"If… if you hurry… you might save… some of them." HIM smiled through broken teeth even as Raziel sent HIM spiraling into a stone wall. By the time Neo got there Raziel was already running again, moving fast enough to throw cars aside and gouge deep ruts in the asphalt.
"You were awesome Boomer!" Bubbles squealed, as the two of them landed on the road. Boomer opened his mouth to reply when a shadow fell over himself and Bubbles.
He turned and stared at an enormous man. He had to be almost fifteen feet tall. He wore a large black trench coat over a bare chest and ragged torn blackened jeans. His skin was ash gray and was stretched over enormous muscles. Scars crisscrossed over every inch of exposed skin.
"Hello Bubbles." He said and he raised his hand and backhanded Boomer sending the blue Ruff into a building and bringing then entire structure down on him.
Boomer screamed. He hadn't known such horrifying gut wrenching pain was possible. He thought that every bone in his body must be broken. He thought he was going to die. His next thought made him not care.
'He's going after Bubbles.'
Boomer was out of the rubble in an instant and as he emerged he saw the giant place his hand out, palm facing Bubbles. A small sphere of darkness so black that it seemed to suck the light out of the air around it appeared there. Boomer roared. The giant laughed. Boomer put himself between Bubbles and the man. All the lights in the worlds suddenly went out.
Bubbles shrieked as Boomer's unconscious body fell into her arms. She stared at the behemoth of a man before her. He smiled and Bubbles thought she heard babies crying. His teeth were like sharks teeth. Pure white. Pointed. Serrated. His gums and tongue were black
"Hello Bubbles." He said again in a deep echoing voice. "My name is Abaddon. I am going to kill you. I am going to kill your sisters. I am going to kill your father. I am going to kill everyone you have ever cared about. But first I am going to kill you…" He said and his smile widened as he lifted his hand and a second ball of darkness appeared.
"Goodbye Bubbles." Bubbles closed her eyes and heard the deafening explosion.
Sarrowz: Glad to see you enjoyed it. )
SithKnight-Galen:I hope you enjoyed the bits of fighting in this one, but the next fight is going to (knock on wood) be amazing.
