I'm very happy with you reviews!! ^^ Oh, I changed the last chapter's title to make it more fitting with the content ^_^
Chapter 9: Rematch
"Sadaqallah hula'zim." Ending his reading, Zaid gently closed the Quran as he stood up, and put it back on the shelf next to him. He turns around, only to be startled by the guests in his room, especially the Rowdyruff Boys who were sitting on the floor with awed expressions. There was a second pause before the boys blinked, releasing that Zaid has finished.
"What are you three doing here?" Zaid asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Oh..." Brick and his brothers got up from the floor. "We were just listening to your reading. " The red ruff answered with a smirk, rubbing the back of his head.
"I see." He said.
"It was awesome!" Boomer answered happily, giving two thumbs up. Zaid just nodded, smiling.
While he was putting his hands in his pocket, Boomer's elbow accidently bumped to a nearby cabinet. The shake caused one of the picture frames to fall and it was about to crash when a hand caught it just in time before it reach the floor. It was Butch. He slowly regained his stance as he carefully held the picture.
"Phew! That was close!" He said with relief.
The boys then noticed something parculiar about the picture; it was torned in half. The upper part was missing. The lower part however was still intact.
"Hey, who are these babies?" Boomer said referring to the picture.
The couple paused for a moment and looked at each other before Abebah started to speak in a whispering manner.
"Do you think they will believe us if we tell them?" Her husband just shrugged at the comment.
"The picture.....It feels familiar." Brick remarked, analyzing the picture. "Don't you think guys?" He said to his brothers.
While Butch nodded in agreement, Boomer could only rub his head, thinking hard as he tries to remember...to no avail. "Hmm...Nope."
Butch just sighed at his brother's remark.
"Wait a minute!" Brick suddenly said, catching everyone's attention. Taking off his trademark cap, he looked inside before taking something out. It was stick with a piece of chewed bubblegum. He gently pull it out of the cap, trying to not to tear it off in the process. The item turned out to be picture, though it was torn in half. It was picture of a man and woman standing together, holding something but that part was missing. Being the smartest of the Rowdyruff Boys, Brick took picture in his hand and compare them side by side, before he puts them together. (The other half is still in the frame.)
"I just got the feeling tha-...." He stopped in midsentence. His eyes widen.
It fits.....Both half fits into a whole photo.
All three of them suddenly stood frozen on the spot in silence.
"You guys alright?" Zaid asked, staring strangely at them.
Brick and his brothers then turned around, gazing at the couple in silence. "When was this picture taken....?" The red ruff asked, showing them the photo.
"It was taken 14 years ago." Zaid answered simply.
"Oh..." Brick said simply as he looked down. His brothers, strangely, does the same. Taking back his picture, the Rowdyruff Boys make their move towards the door but the red ruff stopped when someone grabbed his shoulder. It was Zaid's hand.
"Are you sure you want to leave?" Zaid asked.
"Yeah." Brick said coldly without bothering to look at the man. Instead, he brushes off the hand with his shoulder. It looks they were in a hurry to get out of there. Soon he and his brothers left, leaving the couple once again to themselves. They walk quickly till they were out of view. Seeing this, Abebah became disappointed; evident from her sad expression.
"Don't worry." Zaid said in attempt to comfort her. "We just keep praying, so that Allah shows them the truth."

Later...
10 minutes or so have passed since they left the house. Along the way, the three of them have kept silence. Non of them speak. Boomer tried to cheer up the mood by asking stupid questions but to no avail. Instead, he gets angry glares as an answer. Upon arriving to their alleyway, the ground in front of them suddenly shattered. The force was strong as it knocked the three ruffs back. Pieces of tar scattered while dust lingered in the air. The boys coughed as they regain their senses.
"What- *cough* just happened?" Butch asked. The green ruff just received his answer when three familiar faces landed in front of them.
"What the?" Brick said, looking up at the three shadowy figures in front of him.
A sinister could be heard. When the dust cleared, the three were revealed to be the Powerpuff Girls Z. They stood proudly in front of the boys, looking down upon them.
"You!!" Brick exclaimed as he quickly get up from the road. Boomer and Butch does the same. "What are you doing here?" Brick questioned.
"The question is, what are you doing here?" Blossom said with a hint of a smile.
"Shouldn't little boys like you be in school?" Buttercup mocked and laughed.
A vein popped on Butch's head as he yelled, "LITTLE!?" He cracked his knuckles and clenched his fist, itching to fight with his counterpart.
"Oh, so you want a fight huh?" Blossom said with a toothy kind of smirk.
"Yeah!!" Boomer yelled enthusiastically.
"We want a rematch!" Brick said, lifting his hand to point Blossom out. This comment caused the girls to giggled, much to the boys' dismay. "What's so funny?!" Brick said, obviously pissed off; evident from his shaking fists.
When the laughter stops, the girls' eyes shot open. They were glowing in an evil glow in their respective colours and charged at the boys without warning. Each of them went to attack their counterparts.
Like usual, Blossom attacks Brick with her yo-yo. She shot him at the shoulder but it was easily avoided by the red-eyed boy. Countering the attack, Brick shot saliva at Blossom's face using his heart shape straw and managed to get a hit. The red hair girl just wiped them off and threw her yo-yo again at him.
On the other side of the road, Buttercup could be seen flying towards Butch with her hammer in hands. When she got close, she was about to hit Butch on the head but he quickly jumped, flipping in the air backwards before landing on his feet. A snicker could be heard from him. "What's wrong can't hit me?" Butch laughed.
An evil grin formed on Buttercup's face as she smashed her hammer on the road, creating a shockwave. Butch stopped laughing as he jumped away.
"Earwax Q-tip!!" Boomer yelled as he attacked Bubbles with his earwax. However, Bubbles just float calmly as she released a single bubble from her wand, which cause the flying earwax to stick on it. Surprised by her action, he unleashed more attacks, sending a barrage of ear waxes at his opponent but all of them were dispatched easily the same way.
Boomer looked at Bubbles, who was smiling evilly at him. "What are you looking at?"
A sinister giggled could be heard from her as she wave her wand, releasing a giant bubble and shot it towards Boomer. The bubble was so fast that Boomer was unable to avoid it as it explode when it him, sending him flying into a pile of garbage.

In the sewers...
Light illuminated in the dark, revealed to be coming from a screen of a laptop. A certain werewolf named Alpha was using it. Pressing a few buttons on the keyboard, three silhouettes appeared on the screen. A smirk appears on his face as he observe the readings.
--
"Master will be so proud!" Blossom giggled.
"Master?" Brick repeated as he wiped the dirt on his left cheek. "You mean that giant furball?"
Angered, Blossom shot her yo-yo again at Brick, hitting him on the chest. "Don't insult the Master." She said with venom in her tone.
Brick snarled as he hold his chest. He coughed a little and panted. "Their tougher than before!" Brick thought. As he about to shoot another spit, his hand was shot, causing him to drop the straw. "Ouch!" He cried as he holds his hand. "Why you!" He scanned the ground and found a metal rod. Then he threw the rod at Blossom, hitting her on the shoulder.
"Oww!" Blossom cried. The rod scraped her skin, causing it to bleed. Touching the wound, she said "Hmm...Playing dirty aren't we?" She then licks the blood that covered her hand. "Now, you pay!" She shot yo-yo again but this time, she aimed at Brick's legs, causing him to be entangled. Then, she swung him around before tossed him into a building.
At the same time, Butch could be seen floating in midair, whom collar was being held by Buttercup. "Heh!" Releasing him, Buttercup slowly let boy fall before she hit him on the head with her hammer, sending him crashing down the road. The sound of groaning could be heard afterwards.
Small explosions could be seen as Boomer tried his best to avoid the on coming bubbles....but to no avail as he was hit, sending him towards the garbage bin again, but harder.
Soon, the girls stopped attacking and lands on the road.
The boys recovered from the attack and regroup in one spot. Then they huddled, whispering something to each other. Boomer lifted his head up before Butch pull him down.
"Are you guys giving up?" Blossom questioned with a smirk.
The boys have stopped talking. Assuming their position, their taking their plan into action. Boomer and Butch were holding a large rubber band, larger than the average ones you'll get at the market. Out of his pocket, Brick took out a rather large red balloon, filled with green stuffing of some sort. "I've been waiting to use this for a long time!" He said enthusiastically. The girls watched the boys and were quite confused by their sudden cause of action.
Soon, the balloon was released, and was heading towards the girls.
"Eh?" The girls exclaimed simultaneously. As the balloon got close, Blossom uses her yo-yo to shot it down....with dire consequences. When the balloon breaks, green colour sludge inside was released and covered the girls.
"Eww!!" Bubbles cried in disgust.
"Yuck!" Kaoru said.
The boys could just laughed at the scene and high fiving each other, simultonously shouted, "Yeah!".
The girls however, just stood there, unbothered by the sludge anymore. A chuckle could be heard from Blossom. "You think you've won punks?" The pink Powerpuff Girl grinned, though her teeth seem to be growing longer and sharper....
The sound of cracking bones could be heard when the girls' legs grew taller and more animalistic. Their backs hunch while their faces grew longer towards the front. Their ears grew pointier, reaching above their heads. Their clothes were shredded, though some pieces were still left. (Ain't gonna show nudity here folks!) The only thing that was not change were their hairs.
When the transformation stopped, the newly transform Powerpuff Gi...Werewolfs let out loud howl. They shake their bodies to get rid of the sludge.
The Rowdyruff Boys gulped in unison, shaking nervously.
"What's the matter? Wolf got your tongue?" Buttercup mocked in a deeper voice, smirking evily. At the same time, a thunder roar above the sky and the rain falls.
