Chapter 10: Coming to an Epilogue

Disclaimer: I do not own any characters from The Powerpuff Girls.

Reminder: Hi! This is the final chapter to A Pirate's Treasure!

They quickly exited the castle, each talking about their pasts. Blossom was very proud with Buttercup and Bubbles for managing to depend on theirselves for 5 centuries. Brick also gave his brothers a pat on the back for living through the pain they all went through and shared emotionally.

"Hey, there's one last thing we have to do here," Blossom said.

Butch raised his brow in curiosity, "Whats that?"

"We need to destroy this place," She gave a half smile to everyone.

"But… Why? Didn't you work hard on it?" Bubbles whispered in disbelief.

"Sure I did; but just like you and Buttercup, we simply made these out of our imaginations. If we can do it once, there's no doubt that we can do it twice,"

"I'm pretty sure that's not the reason, though," Brick stated.

"Yeah, there's got to be another reason you want us to destroy your castle," Boomer piped in.

Blossom took a deep breath and sighed, "This place has been cursed by that demon even though we killed his body. The only way to keep this country safe is to destroy this castle, which was basically it's vessel,"

"Oh, why didn't you just say so?" Buttercup smirked, then turned to Butch, "I say we do it. Come on, people!" Everyone agreed and began to burn the place down. It only took the six of them about 5 minutes to turn the castle into a huge puddle, back its original watery state.

"Another thing, guys. We really need to destroy all evidence of the six of us. Sorry Brick, but your ship has got to go as well," The red haired princess smiled sadly.

Brick scoffed, "Go right ahead. I didn't like it that much anyways. Besides, that demon was the one who got it for me,"

Bubbles and Boomer gave each other questioning looks, while Buttercup and Butch just shrugged and tore it into tiny splinters of its wood. A stray piece of paper flew its way and landed on Buttercup's face. She snatched it off and read it quickly, after seeing her familiar home on it.

"I guess my tower's gotta go too…" Buttercup muttered.

"Sorry, Buttercup," Her older sister replied apologetically. She just nodded and crumpled the paper, burning it down.

"A bunch of people discovered my place. Now it's going to be destroyed," She whined.

"Buttercup, come on. I'm pretty sure we'll figure something out in the mean time," Bubbles said.

"How are we going to get to Antarctica quickly?" Butch groaned.

"Is it a possibility to teleport?" Brick suggested.

"Yeah, I don't want to fly for hours," Boomer complained.

Blossom put her thinking look on, "Now that you mention it, I think it's possible now that we're all together!"

"Yes! Okay, Leader Princess, just tell us what to do!" Buttercup beamed, her eyes sparkling.

"We put our hands together in the center, and start to twist into a tornado till it takes us to a portal. I had a dream about it, and my dreams were recently educating me,"

"It doesn't hurt to try. Let's do it!" Bubbles exclaimed. The princesses put their hands in together, twirling into a massive pink, blue and green tornado till it disappeared into thin air.

"What the? Hey! If they can do it, so can we! Come on, boys!" Brick commanded. Boomer and Butch did as instructed and also disappeared after the girls, leaving a red, royal blue, and forest green tornado behind. They appeared in Antarctica, where it was currently nighttime, fortunately.

"It worked!" Buttercup smiled excitedly. Her smile soon faded away when they heard faint voices all around the forest she owned. The princess growled angrily, her eyes glowing red.

"Buttercup, no. We mustn't let the humans know that we are here. Although we have to kill them, we need to do it silently. Do you all understand?" Blossom whispered, her face being dead serious. They all nodded and waited for the plan.

"So, what should we do?" Brick asked.

"There's a quick way to wipe out a whole place like this," Bubbles smiled.

"Really? How?" The other blonde asked.

"Alright, so I'm pretty sure we have to space out pretty evenly and circle this place. We can send high bolts of electricity through the ground, frying them dead. What do you guys think?" Bubbles grinned wickedly.

"I like it; I like the way you think, sis," Buttercup smirked darkly.

"I'm in!" The green pirate snickered.

"Alright, let's go for it!" Brick added. They each spaced out, surrounding the entire iceberg. Planning to kill the life with stealth, they each decided to counted down.

"Five," Blossom started.

"Four," The red pirate mumbled.

"Three," Bubbles giggled.

"Two," The blonde pirate smirked.

"One," The green pirate growled.

"Die! Kill everything!" Buttercup shrieked. Lightning in their respective colours burst from their hands, targeting the center of the island. The whole iceberg melted quickly, and the trees caught fire. All life was deceased, satisfying the group. Buttercup's tower was drowning deeper and deeper into the dark ocean. She watched it drown until she couldn't see it anymore, the pieces that held it together breaking down by the harsh pressure of the freezing water. Unfortunately, Butch's ship also sunk, due to the discovery of it.

"Let's go," Blossom whispered.

After a few hours of silent flight to no place in mind, Butch suddenly remembered someone very important to him, that he owed his life to.

"Guys, I promised someone that I would come back to them after we all reunited,"

"Where?" Buttercup asked, her face still looking forward.

"Peace City,"

"Oh, is it Alyssa?" Boomer guessed. He nodded, and the rest agreed. When they got to Peace City, it was afternoon but luckily clouds blanketed the skies. Butch stepped onto the all too familiar porch, knocking patiently. He stepped back and waited along with the rest. The door opened, revealing big, pale blue eyes staring up at him. They met strange, red-green ones. At first her face showed confusion, but evolved to happiness when she remembered the necklace he gave her.

"Butch…?" She breathed.

"Yeah, it's me. How are you, A?" He chuckled.

"I can't believe you came back!" She hugged him tightly, only to see five other familiar figures staring at her with small smiles on their faces.

"Of course. How could I forget you? I promised you, didn't I?"

She nodded happily, "So who are these people you brought with you?"

"Those are my brothers," He pointed to them, "The red one is Brick, and the blue one is Boomer,"

"It's nice to meet you!" She shook their hands kindly.

"And the girls… Well," Butch thought of something funny that would most likely catch Buttercup off guard, so he went along with it. He grabbed her by the waist and held her close, "This is my girl," He winked.

"Wha-?"

Alyssa's eyes widened, "Hi! I'm Alyssa! And you are?"

Buttercup has never seen anyone so happy to meet her. It gave her a warm feeling; it felt strange, but it also felt right. She pushed away the thought of yelling at Butch, so she decided to reply with kindness, "My name is Buttercup,"

"What a beautiful name for such a beautiful girl. I'm guessing the other girls are your sisters?"

Buttercup nodded, "The one with pink eyes is Blossom, and the one with blue eyes is Bubbles,"

"It's great to meet you all. Say uh, if you don't mind me asking about your eyes…"

Butch shot a questioning look at Buttercup, and she nodded.

"Yeah, we're not exactly humans anymore, Alyssa. Don't be afraid of us, but we are vampires,"

Her eyes widened with shock, but she calmed down because she knew that Butch would never do anything to hurt her, "I… See. Would you like to come in then?" She peeked outside, looking out cautiously for sunshine.

"It's fine. I just came here to visit and introduce you to all of them. We have to get going,"

Alyssa nodded, understanding that they had their own lives to live. She knew that she couldn't keep Butch to herself all her life and that she needed to set him free. Of course, she loved him so much that she could never say no to him.

"Of course. I wish you all luck with your lives. And don't worry, I won't be telling anybody about you six. I give you my word!"

"Thank you. Until then, bye!" The all flew off, leaving their signature colours behind and a shocked Alyssa once again. She merely just shook her head with a smile, closing her door.

"Wow, your step mother sure is nice," Boomer grinned.

"I know,"

"Is there anywhere else we have to go?" Brick asked.

"Yeah, we have to go to Rollington. It's near Mexico!" Boomer exclaimed.

"Who are we meeting?" Blossom asked.

"Boomer's step sisters!" Bubbles giggled.

"Are they nice?" Buttercup wondered.

"Yeah. They're a bit… Over excited at times," He laughed nervously.

Flying at a blinding speed, they were in the town of Rollington in less than an hour. They landed on the front of a huge house, late at night.

"Its like 2 AM here!" Buttercup moaned.

"Yeah, are you sure they're awake?" Blossom asked.

"Definitely. They always stayed up watching movies and such," Boomer shrugged. He rang the doorbell twice, "Get ready to watch me get tackled," He mumbled. The door swung open, revealing the twins who were dressed identically. Annie was in red and pink, while Amy was in blue and green. Their big hazel eyes showed surprise, and excitement.

"Oh my gosh! Boomer?!" They screamed.

"Yeah, it's me," He smiled.

"You came back!" Twin sisters attacked him with kisses, causing Bubbles to roll her eyes mentally in slight jealously.

"Of course I did,"

"So are these your brothers? And… Who are the girls?" Annie squeaked.

"Is the blonde one your girlfriend? Hi! I'm Amy!" The younger twin waved frantically. Annie and Amy were talking so fast that it was slightly difficult for Brick, Blossom, Butch, Buttercup and Bubbles to keep up.

"Well uh-" The blonde man started, but was cut off by his "sisters" again.

"Hi, guys! Whats your names?" Annie grinned.

"I'm Brick,"

"Butch,"

"That's so cute!" They squealed in unison.

"How about you girls?" Amy asked.

"My name is Blossom!"

"Buttercup,"

"I'm Bubbles!"

"You all have such pretty names!" Annie bounced up and down in a hyper matter.

"And eyes!" Amy added. Six pairs of red ringed eyes glanced at each other then back at the twins. They nodded, with a nervous smile on their face.

"Don't worry. We know what you are," Amy said more calmly, catching on the looks they exchanged.

"Yeah, we may act dumb, but we aren't dumb at all," Annie shrugged.

"Your secret,"

"Is safe with us!"

"Thanks guys. But we really have to get going. Just kind of wanted to pay you a small visit," Boomer said.

"Oh, okay. Stay safe!" They smiled warmly.

"Thanks again. Bye!" Again, they were gone in a flash of their signature colours.

"So… What now?" Brick whispered.

"We can't live on earth anymore!" Bubbles said.

"Yeah, let's go into space!" Buttercup cried.

"That sounds fun," Butch grinned.

"But where exactly?" Boomer questioned.

Blossom thought for a bit, "Somewhere we know where we can live," They all agreed and zoomed into the darkness of outer space. Shortly after, a massive asteroid that was spotted by Brick was just sitting around, perfectly sphere shaped.

Brick pointed to it, "That's perfect!" They all flew at once and began to create their very own world. It was pretty similar to earth, except they ruled this new home of theirs and were going to be in eternal peace once the construction was complete. Each vampire put their imagination and power into the creation; grass grew, lots of plant life erupted, and many signs of animal life appeared as well. They began to build huge, beautiful houses of their dreams, perfecting it to the very limit. Finally, Bubbles put all her concentration and energy into making a perfect bubble atmosphere to protect their planet. This time, she was sure to make the bubble extra powerful. To celebrate, they threw a huge party to chase away the remaining pain of their past lives.

Years passed, and each pair began to find love awaiting in between their sights. After the few troubles, worries, memories, and successes Blossom and Brick, Bubbles and Boomer, and Buttercup and Butch went through only brought them closer and closer into something new. Though they denied it many times, it just pulled the feelings they held tighter, making them feel invincible. Powerful. Perfect.

Today, the leaders took flight all around the solar system. Because they both loved to learn, Brick and Blossom would study different planets and stars they discovered each moment that was spent together. In a magical spiral pattern of pink and red, they raced around stars, planets, and asteroids, the music of their combined laughter filling their surroundings.

"This is probably the best decision we've ever made!" Blossom giggled.

"I know. Nothing feels better than flying through an endless space of freedom," Brick chuckled. He took her hand in his, bringing it up to his lips to kiss it lightly. She looked away, trying to hide her smile. Brick knew that Blossom was the one and only for him. Without her, he wouldn't have ever lived a life like this; Full of magic and freedom – what more could he ask for?

"Come on, princess. Let's see where our freedom leads us to," He whispered. She could only nod, following his red stripe wherever it traced.

Inside the planet, Bubbles and Boomer adored all the animal life that circled them. Everything was just perfect for the pair – they even created a unicorn to be their little pet. Each day, she was always being pampered by them. They would spoil her endlessly with love and affection.

"Boomer!" Bubbles gasped.

"What? Whats wrong?" He frowned.

"We forgot to name her!" She sighed disappointedly.

Boomer almost slapped himself in the face, thinking something much worse happened.

"Um… It's up to you, Bubbles," He wrapped his arms around her waist from her back protectively, his chin resting on her shoulder.

"How about Rainbow?" She suggested.

"That works for me," The blonde kissed her cheek, causing her to giggle.

"Let's take Rainbow for a flight, shall we?" He agreed as Bubbles put a pink diamond studded leashed on Rainbow. She climbed onto Rainbow as she handed the leash end to Boomer.

"But I want to sit on her too!" He whined. Bubbles rolled her eyes playfully, gently patting the seat behind her.

"Come on then, let's go!" He hopped on and Rainbow shot off, flying all around the air to earn sweet ripples of giggles from Bubbles and Boomer.

Buttercup and Butch sat on a frozen cliff together, cuddling. Realizing this place a bit too well, Butch slowly recalled a dream that he had a while ago of him and a woman with similar features to Buttercup's on the cliff, staring up at a big, bright moonlight. Except, no freezing tornados were zooming towards them. Butch stared down at Buttercup, studying her features closely as her eyes were shut, resting soundlessly. There was no doubt that the woman in the dream was her. Maybe it was a foreshadowing dream. He forced himself to believe this, since the scene was exactly the same. He held her close, leaving a light kiss on her head. For being such a feisty girl, her soft and calm side was almost like Christmas; it didn't come around too often, but it was definitely something to be joyous about.

"Hey, Butch?" Her soft voice suddenly pierced through the air, distracting him from his thoughts.

"Yes, princess?"

"Is it true that pirates like treasure a lot and keep it all to themselves?"

"Mhm…" He murmured.

"Did you and your brothers ever find yours? Because I don't see you guys carrying a treasure chest of gold or anything,"

"I certainly did,"

"Really? Can I see it?" Her eyes were literally shinning with dollar signs in it, until he pulled out a fancy mirror. Butch held the mirror in front of her. All Buttercup saw was the reflection of her usual red-green eyes staring back at her. Without even feeling it, tears began to stream from her eyes. She looked up at Butch, as he nodded slowly with a smile on his lips.

"That's right. It's you, Buttercup," She wrapped her arms around his neck, while he wrapped his around her waist. They leaned in for a kiss; non stop fireworks erupting from their hearts, finally beating together as one.

A young girl about the age of 13 with shiny black hair down to her mid back, metallic gold eyes and a silky white gown walked up to four adult angels who were looking into a cloud portal, down at their kids. Those angels were King John, Queen Sarah, and Pirate Captains Anthony and Olivia. Right when they heard her soft footsteps approaching closer, they finally turned to the young girl.

"You did well for guiding Butch to the others," Captain Olivia beamed.

"Thank you, Captain Olivia. I'm sorry to say though, that I'm going to have to immediately leave for my eternal slumber. My mission was accomplished, and I hope to see Butch again one day; but hopefully not for a long time. He deserves to live his life to the very end. I wish you all peace!" She silently departed and the angels turned back to the portal, watching their kids live happily.

"Thank you, Sparrow," They murmured, before going to sleep.

The End.

Thanks goes to all who reviewed and motivated me to continue writing. I hope everyone liked reading as much as I enjoyed writing it. I'm going to continue writing about fantasy themes, so feel free to give me some suggestions for future stories... Until then, good bye!
