Chapter 7
Bella, Justin and make their way through the now empty Utonium house in search of something they can carry with them on their mission to save their family. Megan is a jittering mess "guys we are going to be in so much trouble for breaking out of jail".
Bella smirks as she makes her way to the professors lab "oh please, what are they going to do arrest us again?" She opens the door and walks down the stairs.
Justin looks back at Megan and smiles "don't worry so much about it, once we get the family back together it will be well worth it". He takes her hand gently and leads her to the lab "come on". They walk through the door and down the stairs.
Megan looks around her "you know I've never been inside of grandpa's lab before, what's down here?"
Justin lets go of her hand and floats over to where Bella is rummaging through the inventions closet "This is where our mom's were created; he was the only guy in history to turn a nursery rhyme into a scientific formula". Bella sets a pair of silver hand gloves on the floor and Justin's eyes light up "awesome power boxing gloves".
Bella grins at him "those aren't for you"; she chuckles at the look of disappointment on his face and brings the gloves to Megan "here, these are yours".
Megan looks down at the gloves confused "um…these look like something I should wear with my dress, these aren't boxing gloves".
Bella smiles and puts the gloves on; suddenly the silky looking fancy gloves expand and turn into bulky metal boxing gloves "they are activated when you put them on". She takes them off and they return to their original silky form, she then hands them to Megan "here".
Megan takes it and looks over at the invention closet "why does grandpa have weapons like these in his basement lab?"
Bella goes back to the invention closet and pulls out a giant laser gun "well the way mom told it, when they were 5 and doing the whole crime fighting thing grandpa was always worried about their safety. So he started making inventions that would help them fight crime which they found annoying because they have super powers so they felt they would never need them".
Megan puts on the gloves and nearly jumps out of her skin as the gloves started to morph into boxing gloves. She quickly takes them off and holds them out in front of her to look at them revert back to their silky form "why did he stop inventing the weapons?"
"When he invented the powerpuff dynamo robot" Bella continues "it destroyed half the city, so from then on the mayor ordered the professor to never make any more weapons for them to use ever again. Everyone was in agreement, including the power puffs, so grandpa stored everything in his work closet down here".
"Hey guys look what I found" Justin pulls out three flat silver surf boards, one of them starts to hover in midair, he gives it a gentle nudge and it glides over to where Megan and Bella are.
Bella stops it and smiles "wow, what manner of sorcery is this?" she climbs on top of it and steadies herself "now seriously why would three super powered girls who can already fly need hover boards?"
Megan goes over to Justin and picks up another board, "how do you turn these things on?"
Justin takes her hand and leads it to an indent on the board "the button's right here". He presses down on it and the board springs to life hovering in place "come on, get on". He lifts her and gently puts her on the board.
"Ju…Justin" Megan struggles to keep her balance, once she gets comfortable, she leans forward and the board goes forward with her "oh so that's how it works?" She looks over at him again as he floats to the other side of the room where Bella is testing her board out "aren't you getting a weapon?"
"Baby, I am a weapon" Justin playfully flexes his muscles for her, Megan blushes and Bella rolls her eyes. Justin then notices something on the top shelf just above the computer table and floats over to it "I guess I can use this, it's an identity transformer".
Bella grins "great let's get out of here before the police come looking for us". She fly's her board toward the staircase and out the door.
Megan grabs Justin's hand before he can fly off "do you really think we can do this? What if we get ourselves trapped or injured or worse killed?"
Justin grins "hey, don't worry about all of that, if anything happens I'll be there to deflect it. You girls stick with me and you'll be fine".
"ANY DAY NOW HERCULES" Bella yells at him from outside the basement
Justin frowns "ALRIGHT ALREADY WE'RE COMING". He takes Megan's hand and smiles at her "ready?"
Megan looks at him timidly "no, but I'm going anyway". She allows herself to be led out the door.
Meanwhile in Princesses evil fortress
Blossom screams as cold water is splashed on her stinging her body, she coughs and tries to look up at the person who splashed "ugh whose there?" Her body swings and sways uncontrollably as she struggles against the chain hanging her from the ceiling. Suddenly out of nowhere a powerful whip lashes right across her back causing her to scream for the second time that day in pain. The whip lashes her again "AAHHH WHAT THE HELL?" After the pain subsides, she pants a little and glares at the dark figure who has now circled around her to face her "I KNOW IT'S YOU RACHAEL". That earned her another painful lash across her stomach causing her to scream again.
Rachael emerges from the shadows "surprise bitch".
Blossom glares at her "don't you have anything else better to do but obsess over my husband?"
Rachael lashes her again "GOD I FUCKING HATE YOU, I've been working on him for 20 years and you steal him away in less than 1". She lashes blossom again and again while screaming at her "YOU BITCH, YOU CUNT, DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE FUCKING DEALING WITH? DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?"` She stops when she realizes blossom isn't screaming anymore, she breaths hard and notices that blossom has been biting her lip the entire time until it bled. Rachael continues to beat her "SCREAM BITCH, I can do this for all eternity if I have to, but I won't stop until you are dead". She then stops again and hears the faint sound of chuckling coming from blossom, she stares at the redhead with absolute fury "WHAT'S SO FUCKING FUNNY?"
"How long do you intend on keeping this up?" Blossom says plainly. The pain was making her a bit delirious "You've been stalking him for 8 years on burrowed power, every time we defeat you; you just keeping coming right back. You can't seem to understand who is really running the show here".
"Who you?" Rachael says nastily.
Blossom shakes her head "no, HIM each time he gives you power, we defeat you and you become drained and have to go back to him to get more, only to come back with some new ability and stupid plan that usually goes nowhere. Don't you get it? You're becoming just like him, a wandering spirit with no real purpose but to cause chaos and mayhem wherever you go. Is this even about brick anymore?"
Rachael closes in on her staring at her dangerously "if I were you I'd shut the fuck up".
Blossom looks back at her defiantly "tell me Rachael, if you were to win and you get brick, what then?" Rachael suddenly dawns a blank look "what happens next Rachael? What will you do? You can't marry him? You can't fuck him anymore? Without those burrowed powers of your, you wouldn't even be able to touch him? In fact when all is said and done HIM will probably strip you of your powers so you probably won't even be able to keep your soul on earth and you might fade out of existence". She sees Rachael's face distort into that of dread "but look on the bright side, at least you'll have brick…oops oh right, I forgot, you still won't have him either".
Rachael suddenly back hands her in the face "I'm not letting you mess with my head, is that part of your little game?"
Blossom spits out some blood but still looks at her with a grin "you know this is a colossal waste of everyone's time. You don't even really love him".
"I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't" Rachael says angrily "but if you hadn't stolen him from me…."
"Yeah right, I got that the first 100 times you said it. You know Rachael" Blossom cuts her off and continues "Brick is super powered but he's not immortal. He's 33years old; he'll be 34 next month. Do you really want to still be stalking him when he's turns 64, or 74 or how about 94? Hell the way our bodies are built we can live up until our early 100's if we take care of ourselves properly. Would you still want him then?"
"O…of course I would" Rachael says getting flustered.
"You don't seem so sure" Blossom grins "You're a shallow egoist who only married your 58 year old husband for his money. You really expect me to believe that you will stay by bricks side forever?" she smiles fully watching Rachael stumble on herself to answer her. Blossom continues "you've been lusting after him ever since he was old enough to even care about what boobs are, so you haven't a clue what true love really is. I have seen him in the mornings with his hair jacked up and horrendously bad morning breath. I've seen him lay a fart in the middle of dinner and blame it on the kids, I screamed at him the time he used my toothbrush to clean his sneakers. I had to give the kids ear plugs when we decided to drive to Florida on vacation and brick had a serious case of road rage last summer. I want to murder him every time he goes out to mow the lawn and takes his shirt off on purpose just so that those jealous bitches in our neighborhood can drool over him".
"Is there a point to all of this" Rachael sneers at her.
"There is" Blossom looks up at her challenging her, the grin on her face disappears and she gives her a stern look "brick may look perfect but he's flawed in every way possible. Though despite his flaws, I can look deep into his eyes and see myself growing old with him, I am the one that truly loves him".
"Shut up" Rachael didn't want to hear this from her enemy.
"We have made plans for our future" Blossom eggs her on by continuing "we've picked out a nice place to retire, a small country cottage to grow old in, we have even picked out burial plots". She smiles wickedly, knowing very well this was going to pissed her off "you know, a nice quiet spot where we can rest in peace…..together….forever. That Rachael is what true love is, but you wouldn't know anything about that would you?"
Rachael growls and wraps her whip around Blossom's neck choking her "just die already".
A red robot hovers into the room "mistress…"
"What? I'm fucking busy" Rachael pulls on the whip again tighten her hold on blossoms neck even more.
"We have located the children's whereabouts; the gangreen gang are tracking them as we speak".
Rachael growls again and unravels her whip from blossoms neck causing the red head to cough and pant for air "when you find them kill them on site". She hears a gasp coming from blossom who just turned pale after hearing that, she grins triumphantly "that was a nice little conversation we were having, but to answer your previous question, my plans with your husband are simple, I plan to use him as my own personal sex slave and when he has grown old and gray, I'll bury him alive JUST LIKE HE DID ME… but first". She saunters away from blossom "I'm going to get rid of everything you hold dear to you"; she heads for the door "starting with your little brats".
"NO, leave them alone they have nothing to do with this" Blossom's voice is laced with fear for her children "Rachael their just kids, killing them is pointless". Rachael ignores her and blossom becomes more frantic "RACHAEL PLEASE, this is senseless, don't do it", Rachael walks out of the door and blossom panics "RACHAEL, DON'T HURT MY CHILDREN, PLEASE!"
Rachael walk through the door and closes it behind her hearing Blossom scream out her name, she wondered briefly just how long the red head was going to do that "HIM, I know you're there".
"Awfully long conversation to have with your enemy" HIM appears next to her as she walks down the hall, he can here blossom flipping out in the other room and smiles in pleasure "you knew just what to say to send her over the edge, well done".
Rachael kept quiet as she made her way to the control center, despite how hard she tried not to, Blossom's words repeated themselves over and over again in her head "HIM".
"Hmmmmm, yes my pet" HIM cooes at her casually.
"Look, how much time do I really have?" Rachael says concerned " I've been here for a while and…"
"Getting impatient are we" HIM chuckles "You're so cute when you are doubtful of yourself. Not to worry, all will be revealed in due time. But for now concentrate on your revenge and the sweet reward you will gain from it". He doesn't mind that she doesn't respond to him as she enters the room, he knows exactly what awaits her at the end of this idiotic adventure of hers, so he patiently goes along with whatever her heart wants.
