Meeting the odds chapter seven: Hold on

-somewhere in Mandarks base-

"Go and help Jack and Dib...I'll go help Blossom."

"Why do I have to help the Dib-stink and ninja guy?"

"Because Dexter is gonna need all the help he can get when it comes to facing Mandark. So I need to help his friends..."

"and what will you do?"

"Something I should have done along time ago...So Zim get moving."

"Okay Boo-"Zim was cut-off by the boy yelling

"Don't say my name just go!"

-(Dexter's base) OttO' P.O.V-

"So you mean to tell me that this Susan person has captured our sister and Dexter is playing prince charming and going to save my sister with his nerd friend Dib and sensei Jack!" Buttercup yelled clearly mad.

"Yes...but I think he'll need help so please we have to go soon..." I said trying to calm down Buttercup.

"Why later? Why not now!" Buttercup shouted

"Well...because something just tells me to..."was all I replied. Buttercup put her hands into a fist and was about to punch me if Bubbles did not get in front of her and say: "Otto's right we'll leave in ten minutes...just wait till then."

"Fine!" Buttercup yelled hands in the air to show she was done fighting.

-(outside Mandarks base)-

"Jack are you okay?" Dib yelled

"I'm fine but there is to many of them!" Jack replied slashing a robot in two.

"Dexter better hurry or we'll be done for!" Dib said stabbing an attack bot

"Filthy human's! Zim is here to help!" Zim said jumping out of his ship and pulling out his PAK legs.

"ZIM! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" said Dib shooting random attack bot's.

"Well I was told to by someone..."Replied Zim chopping up a sniper unit.

"By who?" asked Jack

"Do you want Zim's help or ask Zim questions?" asked Zim

"Help..."Jack and Dib said in unison

-(Mandarks Base) Dexter's P.O.V-

Running down a hallway not seeing a single attack unit I came across the two people I didn't want to see:

"Brick! Butch! were is Blossom!" I yelled

"What a stupid question...She's with Mandark...I thought even an egg head like you would know that." Replied Butch

"Hey Butch...how about we challenge Dookster?" asked Brick smiling evilly to his brother.

"Sure but before we do how about we tell him our secret?" asked Butch

"What secret? Nothing had better have happened to Blossom!" I yelled

"No...He'll have to beat the answer out of us!" said Brick as he charged at me

"Bring it on!" I said getting into fighting stance.

Just then a blue beam shot out from behind me and hit Brick sending him flying into a wall.

"Dexter get out of here! You don't have a lot of time! Mandark's gonna kill Blossom if you don't hurry!" I turned around to meet Boomer hovering off the ground and me and Butch said in unison "Boomer?"

"Go! I'll take care of my brother's...you go..."Boomer replied

"Why are you helping me?" I asked

"Because if Blossom got hurt then Bubbles would be hurt and I wouldn't forgive myself if she was hurt in the end of this..."Boomer said staring at Butch as Brick crawled out of the hole in the wall.

"Your gonna pay for going against the Rowdy ruff boys Boomer!" yelled Butch

"Dexter get out of here...you've got a princess to save..."said Boomer as he charged at Butch

I ran down a different hallway as the sounds of fighting got smaller and smaller.

'I'm coming Blossom. Just hold on!'

I came across a giant door that just screamed that Mandark was there. Taking a deep breath I opened the door to see Mandark sitting down in a chair and drinking something that looked like tea. Behind him were two different chamber tubes one had my sister's lifeless body. she had pal skin, her hair was down and she had a white dress on...the same white she had on the day of her funereal.

In the other tube made my heart stop...there in the tube similar to the one DeeDee was in was Blossom...She still had her pink school uniform, the same one she had on the day she was kidnapped but her eye's were closed and her head was down as if she were..."Dead?" but she wasn't because if so wouldn't DeeDee be alive?

"Dexter I give you one more choice...stay out of my way and DeeDee will be back or die trying to save Blossom..." Mandark said standing up from his seat.

"You sick bastard! DeeDee can't come back! It's against the laws of nature!" I yelled running to the chamber Blossom was in. Only to see Mandark appeared in front of me and saying "Dexter...You should now that science doesn't apply to the law's of nature...and Dexter...say your last good bye's...Mojo jojo! Now!"

I turned behind me to see Mjojo jojo pull down a lever and then the last thing I wanted to hear came ringing in me ear...Blossom screaming in pain...

"Blossom! Mandark let her go!" I yelled eye's filling with tears...

"Sorry but n-" I gave him an upper cut to the lower jaw and ran towards Blossom's chamber. Pulling out my laser gun and aiming at the chamber like tube that was shocking every fiber of Blossom's body.

-Blossom's P.O.V-

Everything was still dark and I could feel pain all over my body...when it stopped I opened my eye's to see a young girl with blue eye's and blonde hair...she looked a lot like Bubbles if her hair wasn't down...

"Who…who are you?" was all I could say. she replied

"I'm DeeDee...and your Blossom?" DeeDee said with a smile on her face.

"Yes...am I-" she finished "Dead? no you just left your body...I'm here to get you back...and I won't see you in the world of the living but...there is someone that is there fighting for you to live...he needs you right now...so wake up..."

But I don't now-Hey were are you going!" DeeDee vanished into thin air and I was left alone again...

-Dexter's P.O.V-

I shot at the chamber and it blasted a hole into it big enough to get Blossom out...I pulled her out, got to my knees and placed her head on my lap. Then I heard Mandark laughing. Turning around to see that the chamber DeeDee was in, open and there she was...Her skin no longer pal...her eye's opened and she was smiling...she turned her head towards me and ran over to my side leaving Mandark in the dust. She bent over low enough to give me a hug and saying "you didn't break your promise...don't worry...I could never be mad at you..."

"DeeDee, I...Blossom!" I remembered that she was in my lap...still her eye's were closed and she seemed lifeless..."Blossom? Blossom!" My eye's now filled with tears and DeeDee's arms releast me from her hug...

"Blossom! Please don't leave me...Don't do this to me...Please wake up..." My tears slid off my face and on to her lifeless body...

"Dextert...Look on the bright side. DeeDee's back. "Mandark said plainly.

My heart was breaking into two different pieces...one was happy that DeeDee was back and forgave me but the other half was Sad and angry that Blossom was gone and that Mandark could have been so stupid.

"Susan! That's not Nice!" DeeDee yelled. she turned towards me and said "No...Dexter she's not gone...she's sleeping...listen I only can say this to you...I love you. Your my little brother and right now Blossom needs you more then ever...and Susan..." DeeDee said as she turned and walked over to him.

His eyes were sparkling and waiting for DeeDee to talk to him. She finally said once she was right in front of him "I have three things to say..." Mandark looked DeeDee in the eyes and replied "yes?" DeeDee began: "Susan your a mean to my brother..." His face turned to shock as she continued "Your heartless and evil and never take my brother's feelings into play and" He gulped waiting for the final words "I'm sorry I could never tell you this when I was alive all those years ago...Susan...I love you..." Me and Mandark were in shock and said in unison "WHAT?" DeeDee continued "but Dexter...I'm not going to live much longer..." Mandark yelled out "But why?" she answered "Because I only got a small dose...Blossom..." Mojo jojo interrupted by saying "If you got a small dose then you may destroy everyone in the base! We have to get out of here!" Mojo jojo Ran out the door leaving us behind as DeeDee turned to me and said "You and Blossom get out of here...and Dexter remember I'll be watching over you."

She than turned to Mandark and Said "You have to leave to..." That was the last thing I heard as I cared Blossom in my arms and made my way out of the base. On my way out I saw Boomer on the ground. I ran over to him and began to try to shake him awake. When his eyes finally opened he got to his feet holding his bloody arm and saying "We Have to go..." Agreeing we continued to make our way to the exit.

-Mandark's lab-

"DeeDee I wont lose you again! I'm coming with you!" Mandark said holding her arm.

"No. Susan I can't-" DeeDee was cut off by Mandark saying "no matter were you go, were you are...I won't leave you...DeeDee please..." Mandark said as he pulled DeeDee into a hug and finishing "I'm sorry about your brother...but won't Blossom die of the same fate as you?"

DeeDee shock her head and said "No...Dexter can save her. He just needs to help her out of the darkness that you've placed..."

"I'm sorry" Mandark said pulling DeeDee closer to him.

DeeDee's skin then began to glow brighter and brighter...

5...4...3...2...1

A bight light covered the base making the worrier's outside have to shield there eye's as the base crumbled.

Otto, Bubbles and Buttercup flew over to Jack, Zim and Dib. Who just sat there in shock looking at the once to be base...Bubbles placed Otto on the ground as he ran up to Dib. He was standing next to Tak's ship when Otto said "Where is Blossom and Dexter?" Dib turned to Otto.
