SORRY IT TOOK ME SO LONG TO UPDATE. THEIRS A LONG STORY BEHIND IT BUT YOU ALL PROBABLY DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT. SO ON WITH THE ACTION.
Landing in the dust cloud where the explosion had taken place Brick and Butch were now scanning the area looking for the third member of their trio. "How the people in this city clean messes left behind in less the a day is a mystery" Butch said
"Who cares" Brick sighed as he fixed his now backwards cap and putting on his hoodie. He turned to face his brother "The fact that this cities crime rates are one of the lowest in the world thanks to three little girls is pathetic. When you think about it why do they even have police departments if all they do is relatively nothing?"
"Good point." Butch said proceeding to walk through the now clearing dust.
"Wow, Boomer left quite a mess over here." Brick turned and began to walk on Butch's side. As he walked he noticed a couple cars totaled and cracks in cement of pavement. He also noticed that in there was a trail that look like a body was either dragged or blasted through the ground.
Butch let out a whistle. "Man it really sucks for the prick that has to clean this up. He said as he gazed around at the collateral damage. "Wonder where Boomer is. He must've-?"
"Found him" Brick said spotting Boomer sitting on the ground in front of what looked like fuzzys mangled body. Around him people were seemed to have noticed the descruction and damage was over and continued on with their daily lives. The fact the no one seemed distraught over what happened like literally five minutes ago seemed to annoy him. And what was really strange was that it also looked like some bystanders actually went up to him to talk to him for a second or two. Probably asking a question.
"Wow it's like no one knows or cares about what happened a couple minutes ago. Ether that or they are just stupid." Butch said
Just as brick was about to speak three familiar colors whizzed over their heads as blossom buttercup and bubbles landed in front of Boomer each with a different expression.
"Looks like they beat us to it" brick said as he and butch made their way still walking.
"Bet fifty bucks says Blossom is going to give him a lecture." Butch chuckled as they continued walking
"So what happened?" Blossom said looking down at him since Boomer was still sitting on the ground.
Snapping his eyes to her he quickly floated up to standing position. "Oh hey you guys" he said while brushing himself off. "Have you seen my brothers?"
"Unfortunately" Buttercup said crossing her arms
"You know you caused a lot of damage" Blossom said raising her hand to her hip. Clearly not liking the fact that he was ignoring her question.
Boomer raised an eyebrow and took a look around at his surroundings. Broken buildings and piles of rubble could be seen everywhere. He then let out a low whistle. "Sweet" he snickered.
"Sweet?"Blossom narrowed her eyes at him and buttercup did the same. Neither noticed bubbles walk past all three of them and kneel down in front of fuzzy.
"Oh I mean...aww darn. I destroyed the city… shame on me hehe" Boomer said scratching the back of his head trying to cover up what he said before.
Bubbles had been staring at fuzzy as soon as she knelt down. She was scanning quickly for any signs of movement. Hopeful to finding any indication that he was still alive. She winced as she took another glance his beaten body.
Blossom was about to scold Boomer for his complete disregard of the city but before she could manage to do so he turned around and squatted near bubbles. He looked at her and then at Fuzzy. Unable to figure out what she was thinking he decided to ask.
"Something wrong?" he asked
Gasping quietly at the sudden question she quickly regained his composure. "Oh I'm fine." she gave a nervous smile but some what reassuring smile and became quiet as she turned her head back to fuzzys body.
Boomer looked at her and then the body once more. "He's alive you know."
She looked into his eyes again "Would you have killed him? I mean it obviously looks like you could have."
Boomers eyes slightly widen at the bluntness of her question. He also took note in the sudden with seriousness in her voice. It was slight but still there none the less. "My brother told me not kill him remember?" he said matter a factly
Bubbles gazed shifts on slightly with a hint confusion. "Say your brother didn't tell you what to do? What would you have done?"
Boomer tore his gaze from her and looked back at the body. He then put his hand to his chin and began to think for a couple seconds. "Yup probably." He said with a small smirk.
"Way to be subtle" Buttercup said
"At least it's the truth" he reassured as he really didn't care for a life. Even if the life belonged to someone that belongs in prison.
"Wow and I thought he was supposed to be the nice one" Blossom said to Buttercup
Boomer blinked and looked at her then groaned and turned away "Ugh why does everyone always say that" he said to no one in particular...
"Uh huh…So what happened to your hand" Blossom Said
Boomer turned again to face her. He lifted up his left hand for them to see. Some blood trails were dried and new ones were made. Looking at it again made the same stinging and burning sensation came back. He closed his hand into a fist and said "It's just a scratch"
"It looks like it'll heal in a couple hours, doesn't look to serious." Said an all to familiar voice
The four of them turned to look at brick and butch making their way over.
"Well unless it's poisoned." Boomer said
"Wazzup brothas" Boomer said turning to face them
"What's up? Ill tell you what's up. I'm freaking dying of boredom that's what's up. Butch said running his hands through his hair."
"That's honestly nothing new" Boomer said, eyebrows dropping in the process. "You're always complaining about something."
"Anyways" Brick interrupted "Anything interesting happen?"
"Besides the fact that a couple of people asked me if I was a powerpuff boy?" Boomer said
"Aw dude gross" Butch chuckled
Brick eyes widened amusingly in surprise "Really?" Brick heard what he thought was a scoff coming from one of the girls. He just couldn't figure out which one.
"Yup" Boomer continued "It's like even after what we did here when we were, what like five years old, you think people would know who we are at least." He paused "I guess it's because we look different?" he questioned putting his hand on his chin.
Butch quick to respond "Well" he said wrapping an arm around his brother's neck. "We could always jog everyone's memory" Butch said menacingly as he lit a glowing green fist of energy in his brother's face. "If you catch my drift?"
"Over my dead body" Buttercup called over to him.
"You that could be arranged" Butch said chuckling
Rolling his eyes "Anything really interesting happen?" Brick said quickly to avoid an upcoming argument.
Boomer took a moment to think about it. "Well his shirt talks"
Everyone began to stare at him like he a two more heads growing out of his neck.
"His shirt…talks?" Brick repeated to make sure he heard him right.
"I don't know about you or anyone else on this planet, but last time I checked clothing does not talk" Butch said Boomer then picked the shirt up and held it up to them. They both took notice in the pieces of metal and wires coming loose.
"But Hi tech clothing…maybe" Butch said as Boomer gave the shirt to Brick.
Brick took it in both hands and began to examine it closely. "Huh cool" he said. He then turned Butch "Hey get the body, we're heading out" he said nodding his toward fuzzy
"Finally!" he groaned out loud as he stretched and made his way over there "Sorry ladies parting is such sweet sorrow, but its been real" Butch joked as he made his way over to the body and picked up one of its legs. He then proceeded to drag body away. Not even bothering to pick it up.
"Can we hurry up and get to the subway I'm bored enough as it is." he groaned as he walked straight past his brothers and proceeded not bothering to look back.
Brick stared at the piece of clothing a little longer and then turned to follow suit. He was so busy observing that his eyes never moved.
"Freeze" blossom said aloud stopping Boomer before he could even move. Butch stopped as well and glanced back looking from the corner of his eye and Brick made a groaning noise in irritation.
"Really, is anything ever easy with you?" Blossom narrowed her eyes. "Is there a problem" he scoffed. Now Blossom crossed her arms hardening her gaze. "What" brick half yelled due to the distance and the fact that he was getting annoyed.
"Fuzzy Lumpkin's is still a wanted criminal here in Townsville." She stated
Brick raised an eyebrow. "So?"
"So" Buttercup injected. "It means we'll be taking him to jail so the police can take him."
"If you haven't already forgotten what we told you before, for right now we basically are the police." Brick said
"Since when did I ever believe what you told me" Blossom retorted
Brick scoffed "What the hell do you want as proof, badges? Because if that's it we don't have em ok?
"And where would they be?" Blossom said mocking him
"At home" Boomer interjected
Blossom turned to him raising an eyebrow. "Do you honestly expect me to believe that?"
"Well-" Boomer began
"Just forget it Boomer, she wouldn't believe you anyway." Butch called back
"Besides, as of right now the police don't know he's here and I want it to stay that way." Brick then turned around and adjusted his cap. "You can take him to the police when we're done."
Trying to ignore bricks stament blossom tried a different approach. "Butch would you please be kind enough to put the body down. "
Butch raised an eyebrow. He then started to smile and then began to chuckle. "Sorry Blossom but I don't take orders from you. You're not my leader." He said as he continued to walk away.
"Buttercup" Blossom said simply and in a bright green flash Buttercup was in front of Butch stopping him in his tracks. Her arms were crossed and her gaze was hard and threatening.
Butch simply stood and looked down at her since he was a good three inches taller. "What do want?"
"Hand him over"
"Uh lemme think about that" he said stopping and lifting his unoccupied hand to rub his chin. "What's the word I'm looking for hm he said pretending to think again which was not helping Buttercups patience. "Want to help me out here Boomer"
Boomer looked at Butch and then at Buttercup. "Uh I don't think I want to."
"Understandable, Brick you want to take a guess"
Brick rolled his eyes "Is it no"
"Ah there it is" he turned back to buttercup. "You heard the boss he" said as he tried to step around her but she still stepped in his way.
"Let me rephrase what I just" said she stated "Put him down and no one gets hurt"
Butch felt the spike in her energy level and it kept rising. His entire expression changed as he stared down at buttercup. He then began to smirk and mock her by looking her up and down. "You know if I didn't find you might be extremely gorgeous Buttercup you would probably be more intimida-"
Butch never had the time to finish his sentence as Buttercups fist made full contact with his face. The force of the blow made Butch drop Fuzzys leg all together. Judging by the way and how hard it was that she hit him it was no surprise to anyone when butch flew through three buildings before stopping. He was out of sight when he hit building two.
Brick lazily turned his head in the direction Butch was hit tilting it to the side. "Humph" he said shaking his head "didn't see that coming" he said as he chuckled softly
Blossom sighed as she began to walk to walk up to Buttercup who was now waving her hand off to get rid of the small sting from that punch. "You know I didn't want you to hit him right"
"Yeah, well you didn't say I couldn't" she scolded still enraged.
"It was kinda implied"
"Well he was asking for it"
"Really?" Brick said walking up to both of them "Because I don't recall him asking for anything accept for you to get out of his way?"And saw Butch flying toward him.
"No one asked you red!" she said turning away from both of them."Besides it's his fault for trying to undress me with eyes!"
"To be honest I really don't think that was nessacary either." Bubbles said "And besides if he really wanted to see you in your underwear, he would use his X ray vision
"No one asked you either" Buttercup mumbled "Besides we have the body and that's all that matters." She said now lifting up Fuzzy.
Brick slung the shirt Boomer gave him over his shoulders. "Women" he groaned to himself. "They just never make things easy." He took flight in the sky in a straight line upward. When he stopped flying he heard something coming toward him. He turned to his right and Butch was coming toward him.
"Well that knocked the boredom out me" he said while rubbing his cheek.
"Glad you're having fun" Bricked looked down and noticed Boomer about to fly up to them as well. "Boomer" he called down before he took of the ground.
Boomer stopped and looked up in confusion.
"C'mon we're outta here" Brick smirked while nodding his head over to the girls.
Boomer raised and eyebrow and looked the girls then back at Brick smiling. "Yeah no problem" He then faced the girls fully. "Sorry about this Buttercup" he said
Buttercup raised an eyebrow "What do you me-" She was cut short as Boomer came and pushed her into Bubbles in the blink of an eye causing them both to fall over. Snapping out of her trance of his speed Blossom charged at him with a punch seeing as his back was to her. Before Blossom could deliver the blow Boomer back flipped into the air from standing position coming down on the back of Blossoms head instead of the ground seeing as she basically ran under him. Jumping off as soon as he made contact he quickly grabbed Fuzzy and flew to his brothers who, now that they were together began to fly away.
Getting up the ground Buttercup was muttering curse words under her breathe. Bubbles to was beginning to stand while brushing dirt off her.
"So that's how they're going to play?" said trying her best to control her temper eyes
"Talk about a blast from the past hehe" Bubbles said trying to lighten the mood
"Not now Bubbles!" Buttercup said angrily
"Follow my lead!" shouted and flew after the boys.
"Aw man" Butch said as he came up on Bricks left. "We could have at least stayed their until they got up" Butch groaned as they flew.
"And do what; wait for them to attack us? Sorry but that's not the idea here"
"Aw Damn it" They both turned to Boomer on Bricks right. "I swear if this guy gets blood on I'm holding you guys responsible for cleaning it off." Boomers said while fixing Fuzzy on his back properly so he would not fall.
Brick chuckled "I'm serious ya know" he said which only caused Boomer to chuckle more.
"Guys" said breaking their little brotherly quarrel. "We got company" he sang happily
Brick and Boomer turned to see the girls behind and slowly catching up.
"Wow they just don't quit do they" Brick said
"Hey, maybe they just want to talk" Boomer suggested
As Boomer said that they were soon dodging a hailstorm of energy beams and lasers.
"Still think they wanna talk?" Brick asked Boomer
The girls then combined the beams and together and shot off one beam. The beam now three times normal size was obviously to big to dodge.
Butch noticed this and slowed down just a littlie to fall behind his brothers. He flipped over so that he was now flying on his back and extended both hands which casted a shield over all three of them. The beam made direct contact with the shield causing no harm to the boys. But they did manage to crack the shield that Butch had made. Butch flew back catching up with his brothers afterwards.
"We should just blast them out of the sky" Butch said holding up a fist ready to fire.
"That wont work, it might just make them even angrier plus we're supposed make sure they don't get hurt not hurt them ourselves." Brick said he then turned to Boomer "And we cant out fly them unless we want leave Boomer behind since he's carrying extra weight." Brick finished while dodging more beams.
"Well let's just hang on to that possibility" Butch teased
"HEY!" Boomer said being offended
"Kidding, kidding" Butch said "God you're a baby"
Brick cut in "Bank left to that building top" he called out
They uniformly made a landing on the roof and Boomer placed fuzzy down. The girls stopped just before they reached the building and hovered in the air looking down at them.
Brick looked up and stared straight into Blossoms bright pink eyes. "Listen-" he began but was
"Y'know you're only making this harder then it needs to be "Blossom called out forming a glare he spoke
"Im making it hard?" he called out not believing what he heard "You're the one who started attacking us out of the blue when we left! I think you need to get your priorities straight before you-" Brick stopped and looked closely at what Blossom started doing. It looked liked she was taking a deep breathe, but the amount of air he was sucking was way too large for comfort.
"She wouldn't dare" he muttered for his brother to hear
"Wait what's he doing?" Boomer asked
Blossom cheeks were full from the amount air and her head was slightly tilted back. In one fluid motion she began to blow huge blizzard down to their direction. The wind began to pick up around the girls and the boys. But even with the strong hurricane like wind with pieces of ice hard blowing at them the ruffs seemed to hold their ground unfazed. Their clothes they had on had also began to whip around a well but they didn't even so much as blink.
"This starting to get pointless" Boomer aid lifting his hands behind his head.
"Really?" Butch said jamming his hands in pocket and turning pointless "I think its getting fun!" He laughed.
Brick sighed and took a couple steps forward moving up from the middle position he had with his brother?
So tilted the her head in confusion with Brick actions. She turned to peak with Buttercup seeing a Blossom was still blowing the storm that was nearing the boys. "You don't think he really going to"
"Nah" Buttercup muttered "Even for a rowdy ruff I don't think he that stupid"
Brick stopped walking forward clicked his tongue with the roof of his mouth. A tiny spark flew out as he did so which didn't go unnoticed as he began to smile menacingly.
"Did he just…" Bubbles was at a loss for words.
Brick began to inhale air just as Blossom did before. He filled as much air into his superhuman lungs that was possible. Then in one fluid motion he blew out a blazing inferno of red hot fire up in the direction of the girls. The fire moved forward uncontrollably until it began to clash with the blizzard.
Both Blossom and Brick weren't letting up with their breathe, not giving the other the upper hand. Each focused on blowing until their lungs would eventually give out. Unfortunately it never came down to that seeing as the intensity of the attacks caused and explosion as the area filled with smoke and sent a shockwave of wind in all directions. Neither of the six superhuman was fazed at all.
The smoke slowly began to clear. "Y'know it weird" Brick said softly
"What's weird" Butch said
"I…I think all the information we had about them is…wrong."
Boomer and Butch shared a quick glance then looked back at Brick. "What do you mean" Boomer aid
Brick turned around to face them "Hmm…well basically it's like this. We came to them thinking that since they were in a 10 year hero hibernation that were going to be weak and out of shape right?"
Butch and Boomer nodded in understanding.
"But in that last attack, it was like the power behind it was… was almost as strong as my own." He pondered lifting hi hand to his chin.
Butch and Boomer shared a look again. "Dude you feeling alright?" Butch chuckled
"Shut up and listen for a second" Brick snapped "Remember when Buttercup punched you?"
Boomer chuckled "Oh I remember" he said and continued to chuckle. He was unprepared when Butch punched him in the arm. "Ah what the hell man!"
"Go on" Butch said
"Tell me" Brick paused "How did it feel?"
Butch thought for a second. "It felt like…like-"
"You both were kids fighting again, just lacking some of its power it." Brick finished
Butch sighed "Yeah I guess" he said while sighing. "But what if it was just a fluke?"
"Then a flukes a fluke" Brick shrugged simply
"Guys we got company" Boomer said
As the smoke cleared fully Blossom floated down slowly, her sisters followed suit. They floated until they were ten feet in front of them floating at eye level.
"Well aint this a pleasant surprise" Butch mused
Blossom ignored the comment floated in front of Brick completely. "Brick" she said seriously
"Blossom" He said mocking her tone and folding his arms across hi chest.
"This is getting us no where…" Bubbles muttered
Anyone could see that an argument was going to break out between the two red head at any moment. But then soft buzzing sound could be heard. It sounded like a vibration. And the source of this vibration was coming from Boomers pants. He jumped at the feel of it and reached into his back pocket.
Brick and Blossom ignored the sound and continued their staring contest. Neither of them even blinking. That is until a screeching sound attracted their attention. The sound was coming from the mechanical object now in boomers hand. The hilt of the sword that was in boomers pocket was now transforming into a radio or some kind of cell phone. Bubbles being the closest one to him was the first to speak.
"Nice phone you got their?" she said in more of a question then a statement"
"Its not a-" he was interrupted by a voice coming from the device.
Computer access a better frequency for clearer communication. Said a voice from the box.
"Well that's something you don't see everyday" Butch said a he made his way over to take in a better look.
Frequency obtained. Commence all forms of communication
Brick finally took his eyes off Blossom to see where the commotion was coming from. "Lemme see that" Brick said taking it from him
"Where'd you get that?" butch asked
"I snagged it off him while he was down. It looked cool so I thought I would keep it a souvenir" he shrugged
Before anyone could say another word the machine made more noise. But this noise sounded like an angry person yelling at the top of hi lungs.
FUZZY LUMPKINS PINK FURRY TWO TON IMBECILE. YOU BETTER HAVE A VERY GOOD EXPLANATION FOR THIS OR TIES WITH ME AND ALL ACCESS TO THE VACANT EQUIPMENT IN MY LA-BO-RA-TORY ARE FINISHED. AND I DONT CARE IF I HAVE TO REVERT YOU BACK TO YOUR BANJO STRUMMING WAYS MYSELF! said the voice.
"That voice…" Blossom said astonished
Brick turned his head to look at him from the corner of his eye. "You know this guy?"
"I don't know…I-" she gasped as the device was tossed her way which she barely managed to catch. She then looked at Brick.
"Well?" expecting something out of her.
"Well say something" Buttercup said as she appeared at her side.
Blossom swallowed a nervous lump in her throat. "Hello" she spoke
The voice made a gasping noise and then spoke. COMPUTER SHUT DOWN ALL COMMUNICATION LINKS NOW!
ALL COMUNICATION LINKS SHUTTING DOWN.
At that moment the device in her hands shifted again. This time it transformed into a mechanical spider. Surprised Blossom shrieked and dropped it on the building top. As quick as it fell it made a B-line towards Fuzzys body attaching itself to its neck.
Before anyone could react it made a bright yellow flash an it and Fuzzy body disappeared.
"It's…gone" Bubble said
"More importantly, he's gone" Buttercup said
Boomer ran his hand through his hair. "All that work…man what a drag"
"Hey look at the bright side" Butch mused "I had fun today!"
Boomer groaned at the stupidity of his joke.
Brick looked at the spot where Fuzzy used to be a little longer and then sighed. "It is what it is" he said. He turned to face his brothers. "C'mon we're going home."
Butch nodded and turned to the girls. "Well ladies, it's really been fun" he joked as he began to float up in the sky.
"Screw you" Buttercup scoffed
"Where and when baby, where and when." He said while floating higher.
Boomer met him in the sky. "You never quit do you?" he mumbled
"This has been a weird day" Bubbles said
Brick was about to meet his brothers in the sky until he felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked back and saw that it was Blossom. "Can I talk to you before you go?"
"And it just got weirder" Buttercup said
Brick faced her fully causing Blossom to drop her hands to her sides. "Uh" he began
"In Private." She turned slightly to say to her sisters.
Buttercup and Bubbles stared at her in disbelief. Until Blossom gave them a nod of reassurance and said "I'll see you guy at home"
Buttercup sighed "C'mon Bubbles lets go"
Bubbles looked at Buttercup, then back at Blossom. "Sure" she said and with that they both took off toward the direction of their house.
Blossom then turned back to Brick and looked up to the direction of his brothers, then back at Brick. Brick sighed "Boys go on ahead" he called up
Boomer shrugged "Sure no problem" he said taking off leaving Butch.
Butch smirked "You two play nice" He said in a suggestive tone before taking off to follow Boomer, laughing all the way.
Brick rolled his eyes and turned back to Blossom. "So" he said drawing out the O. "What do you want to talk about?"
"I…I think I'm starting to believe you" she aid
Brick raised an eyebrow. "So does that mean you trust me?"
"Well a…little" she said
Brick paused before answering "It's a start" said simply
Blossom brushed the hair from her bangs out of her face. "But"
Brick blinked in surprise. "There's a but"
"I want to know everything that you've been doing for the last ten years"
"...Why?"
"Because technically you and your brothers are still criminals."
Taken a back by the statement. "I thought you said-"
"Don't get me wrong, I believe that their may be some kind of conspiracy here in Townsville but I'm still not sure you're who you say you are." She said trying to reason with him.
Brick thought about it. "Okay, understandable"
"We'll talk in school" Blossom said as she was about to turn and say her goodbye.
"Oh and Blossom" he called before she left.
"Yeah?"
Brick took a couple steps toward her and lifted up to his index and his middle finger to place on her forehead. Blossom was shocked by the contact. "Don't over think things" he said simply. He began tapping her forward very lightly. "You end up getting a headache"
Blossom nodded her head in a yes motion very slowly. Brick the put his hand back to his side and waved. "Later" he called out and turned sprinting four steps and then taking off to the sky to head home.
Blossom stood there and watched him go. She lifted her hand to lightly touch her fore head where hi hand had just been. She didn't know what it was but she began to feel a series of hard thumps and unusual sensations in her chest.
She decided to ignore it as she herself took off to the sky to head home.
