Ten Days Later.
Brick was running down the school hallway panting at a bit of sweat dripped down his brow. The hallways were vacant only filling up with the soft sounds of his footsteps and heavy breathing. "I can't believe I'm late" he furrowed his brows and picked up speed , "Coach is going to kill me" he thought then "Wham!". He flopped onto the floor holding his head , "H-Hey god your head is hard " Mitch grumbled. "Mitch aghh what are you doing here ?" Brick huffed and sat up looking at him , one of his eyes open. "Coach Davis told me to come and get you" Mitch informed and stood up "aww man this is going to be a lump" he cried. Rubbing the sore spot frantically "You're ruining my good looks!" Mitch pointed holding his other hand over the mark. Brick got to his feet "Look Mitch you had no looks to begin with so you'll be fine" Brick snickered and patted his back walking ahead. "I do have looks my body is a temple Brick a temple !" He debated Brick rolled his eyes , ignoring him. Brick strolled into the locker room and got dressed , Mitch went outside. Brick held his breath hoping for the worst , he sweat-dropped "Coach is going to make me do suicides" he opened the metal door. It clanked behind him as he watched his peers run around the field. A few of the guys punted footballs and did soccer drills , "BRICK JOJO! " He heard a deep voice bellow. Brick stiffened as he saw a shadow cast across him , he looked at the coach.
"So do you think you can come to class whenever ?" He raised an eyebrow at the trembling red head , "Uhh n-no Coach it's just I had to stay behind to finish a test". "A test why couldn't you just finish after school why are you taking up my time ?!" His Coach roared again , Brick felt like the ground jumped. He sweat-dropped more "Does he not want me to have good grades" Brick thought , "sorry Coach". The tall well-built man in front of him scowled deeper , "Fifteen suicides" "Fifteen !? But Coach Davis" . "Fifteen. You're lucky I'm in a good mood" he turned and blew his whistle "Let's go people pick it up pick it up!" Coach Davis pointed at the runners. Brick sighed "That's supposed to be a good mood" he began stretching feeling his muscles warm in the slight breeze. Brick looked up at the sky and then bent over touching his toes. There was a large over-cast of a shadow along with a bustle of talking , he stood up and gazed at the sky. Seeing a blimp he let out a sigh of relief "I thought it was a monster or something worse" , everyone was pointing and gawking while Brick began his punishment.
"Have you seen Buttercup?" Butch asked Blossom who was digging in her locker , her flower charm clanking against it. "I only see her at home , and barely even there she comes home and heads straight to her room" Blossom placed her books inside. Letting her finger sit on the bind , "she doesn't talk to us anymore" , "hmm you can check the roof" she suggested. Blossom turned but Butch was already gone , "Ehh he could have at least warn me he was leaving" she had a vein throbbing. Butch shoved the Fire Exit door open , rushing his way up the stairwell. "I care to much .. I'm sure she's fine" he didn't realize that he began skipping steps. "Buttercup ?" he said and walked onto the roof it was nice and bright , clouds putted by in the air. He looked over by the fence seeing a large air duct , then turned his head to the other fence. "Buttercup" he saw a black lump near the fence , sitting underneath the shade of a metal tin box. Buttercup was hugging her legs to her chest , gazing out at the scenery ahead of her. Butch sat down next to her, his shoes made a crunching sound as they scuffed against the cement. "So what are you doing up here by yourself ?" he asked looking ahead of him also , Buttercup tightened her grip on her black jacket. "..It's really nice outside" he looked at her seeing no reaction "everyone is worried about you Buttercup" he added peering at her. She only blinked he sighed scratching his head , "well this is going nowhere" he thought.
"I don't want to pester her then she really won't talk to me" Butch swallowed feeling awkward silence between them. "Thank you guys ..for worrying about me" he heard her say with a low voice , it sounded strained and hoarse. "N-no problem" he blinked her hair was messy and bangs in her face. Made it hard to see her eyes , his lips thinned "I'm not going to ask if she feels any better .. clearly she's still upset". "But don't worry about me anymore I'm fine " she said harshly and made her way to the exit , the school bell sounded. Butch watched Buttercup leave in her over-sized sweater , which barely flashed the hem of her green plaited skirt . "I should've told her ... " he watched the rusty door squeal shut "it would've changed things if I told her." Butch saw a large object in the corner of his eye , he glanced over at the blimp. "Is there something going on ?" he thought the blimp hovered over the courtyard , Butch glared then saw the blimp struggle to stay a float. There was smoke coming from the back , he ran to the fence watching as it crashed down. Students screamed and moved out the way , as the blimp crashed a tornado of smoke filled the air. Butch moved from the fence covering his face , coughing violently.
Brick stared intensely at the blimp smoke finally dying down , some students behind him gathered. "What's going on ?" "That was cool" "Is anybody hurt ?" he felt uneasy and saw the rudder of the blimp turn to a stop , as the back was melted. "Alright everyone get inside , please make your way to your classes" teachers and school staff hollered , trying to force the crowd back. Brick watched the split in the blimp it rose as red lights shinned at him through the dark slit. "Everybody watch out" there was a rumble , monsters began to rush out the blimp. The creatures of all sizes came into the sunlight , tall ones , short ones running on all fours. Flying ones sloshing black ink around , massive monsters behind the fleet. All of them covered in black ink , smiling with sharp teeth and no eyes. They rushed at the crowd , kids ran away screaming in terror.
A girl was snagged up from the air , she flailed losing her shoe . Suddenly there was a popping sound she saw a blue light whiz by , before she plopped on the floor. Boomer pushed himself off the crushed ink blob , watching the girl he saved run away. "Ragghhh !" Brick screamed him and threw a punch at a massive monster , the beast caught it . So Brick swung another fist , the creature caught it again , Brick ran on it's chest and kicked it's head off. It sloshed to a black puddle , Boomer sweat-dropped "Why does he have to always fight the bigger one". Blossom and Bubbles slid out into the courtyard "What's going on?" Blossom asked before kicking a tall creature into a wall. "We don't know " Brick screamed dodging a spit attack from the flying creature , he fell back on his butt. Giving the opportunity for a massive creature to stomp him , "where's Butch?' Boomer asked "Up here" he heard someone respond.
Butch jumped over the fence and grabbed hold of a flying ink blob , then swung it down into the monster on Brick. They splashed into each other making tiny waterfall of ink , splat on Brick. "Thanks Butch really appreciate it" His red-haired brother glared , "Oh the pleasure is all mine" Butch grinned landing on his feet. Bubbles threw her blue orbs at the flying ink monsters , black ink splattered the courtyard dirt. "Where Buttercup?" Blossom asked ink staining her cheek , she felt a ferocious burning sensation on her cheek. She quickly scraped the ink off , watching it sizzle on the ground a bubble. Steam seeped out "What - what is this stuff , and what's going on ?" she thought staring at the ink.
