Chapter 10: Battle against…yourself?

MBC dodged most of the energy attacks, but still got hit by some of them and dissolved. As soon as she dissolved, Kaoru woke up and saw that she was in the room with Momoko and Miyako and that her arm was killing her.

"OW!" Kaoru put her hand on her arm.

"Are you ok Kaoru-san?"

"Yeah."

"Where are we?" said Momoko.

"At the lab. Nakashima-san brought you three here." said Ken, walking into the room.

"Nakashima-kun did?"

"Where is he anyway?"

"Over here."

The girls turned to see Kousuke sitting on the floor with his back towards them.

"Hey Nakashima, I got some questions for you!" said Kaoru.

"What?" he turned towards them.

The girls gasped, seeing that Kousuke's face was covered in blood, cuts, and bruises.

"What happened?"

"This is what I get for helping three helpless girls." said Kousuke, smirking when they weren't looking.

"Hey take that back!" shouted Kaoru.

"Wait a minute Kaoru. What he said, in a way, was the truth. He helped you three wake up." said the professor.

"Did he hit us or something, 'cause my arms killing me." said Kaoru, rubbing her sore arm.

"You three have been asleep for too long. What ever you dreamed of might come true." said Kousuke, getting up.

"You have to be kidding me!" Momoko looked at her friends worriedly, "I don't want them to die."

"Me too." said Miyako, teary eyed, "I don't want everyone that I know and love to be killed."

"Same here." said Kaoru, "But this will give me a chance to settle the score with that damn kid! Where is she?"

"Why do you sound like you want everyone that you know to die?" said Momoko.

"My family's the only ones that died. Everyone else was still alive." said Kaoru.

"And you got hurt protecting them didn't you?" Kousuke walked up to her and saw that her arm has some cuts.

"Professor Utonium! There's some new monsters causing trouble in Tokyo City! We need the Powerpuff Z!" said the Mayor.

The girls and Kousuke transformed and left.

"Well well. What do we have here? A group of stupid super heroes." said Brenda.

"Who're you?!" demanded Blossom.

"We are the Dark Powerruff Z!"

"Dark Powerruff Z? Never heard of them." said Buttercup.

"Says the little green one. I know that your mom's gonna die pretty soon." said Blair.

"Take that back!" growled Buttercup.

"Make me!"

"Why you! Swing Sonic!"

"Too easy." said Blair, dodging her attack, "Mind if I start off first Brenda-neesan?"

"Go ahead, Blair."

Blair flew towards buttercup and punched her on her arm, "It was here that I stabbed you wasn't it?"

Buttercup bit her lip so that she wouldn't scream in pain and tried to punch her back, but Blair already leaped back to dodge it.

"I can see that you really suck in fighting!" laughed Blair.

"Buttercup, let's tag team her!" said Blossom.

"No, stay out of this. If you two tag team with me, they'll do the same. Take care of the one that looks like you. I'll be done soon." said Buttercup.

"Just don't die then." said Bubbles.

"You should've tag team with them. I could handle you three at once with my hands tied behind my back!" taunted Blair.

With Brenda and Blossom:

"So you're the leader of the Powerwimps?" said Brenda with disappointment in her voice.

"What's that supposed to mean!?" said Blossom.

"Leaders are supposed to be cool, calm and collected! Take this, Flame Whip!" said Brenda as she threw her whip at Blossom and hit her on the arm.

"Hey that hurt! Chocolate Spin!"

With Blanche and Bubbles:

"Shall I start killing everyone that you know, blonde?" said Blanche.

"I won't let that happen! Bubble Champagne!"

"Too easy!" said Blanche, twirling her rod, "Icy Wind!"

Cold wind came out of her rod as she twirled it and destroyed the bubbles that came at her.

With Brant and Baldev:

"Man why am I stuck with this brat?" sighed Baldev.

"Hey I could say the same thing! And my name's Brant!"

"Brat sounds like a better name for you. Oh but it sounds a little girly, is that why?" smirked Baldev, cracking his knuckles.

"That's it," Brant pulled out his sword, "You're dead! Raimeiken!"

"Oh please" Baldev put his hand in front of him and blocked the lightning attack, "Is that the best that you can do even with a sword?"

With Blair and Buttercup:

A few minutes already passed and both sides were worn out.

"I think that it's time for me to kill of your mother." said Blair, pretending to leave.

"Over my dead body! Swing Sonic!"

'She took the bait!' thought Blair dodging her attack with ease and flew over to her, "It seems to me that you can't protect anything while being a Powerpuff Z."

'If I can't beat her in my Buttercup form….maybe I might beat her as Matsubara Kaoru!' thought Buttercup, her hand slowly going to her compact, 'Wait, why is she grinning like that? She just wants me to go back to Matsubara Kaoru!'

With Brenda and Blossom:

"It seems that you friend is going to die soon." said Brenda.

"My friends are strong enough to defeat you!" said Blossom.

"Don't you get it? The second that your friends go back to human form, they'll be dead!"

Blossom looked for both Buttercup and Bubbles and saw that Buttercup's hand was slowly going towards her compact.

"Buttercup! What are you doing?!" she shouted.

"Focus on your battle and I'll do the same!" Buttercup shouted back.

"Nee-chan! Brant!" shouted Blanche.

"What?!" Brenda looked for Brant and saw that he was breathing heavily and bleeding badly.

"Brant!" His three sisters completely forgot about their battle and flew towards him.

"Was that all you can do? I was completely holding back." said Baldev.

"Why you! Flame Whip!"

"Nee-san wait!" said Brant, trying to stop her whip from reaching Baldev.

"Why should she Brant?! You almost died from battling him alone!" said Blair.

"If he can do this to me while holding back, there's no telling what he can do at full power!" said Brant.

"We can beat him if we all work together." suggested Blanche.

"Just focus on your own battle. I'll be there soon." said Brant.

"But Brant…" started Brenda.

"Now girls! Ichigo Sundae Shoot!"

"Bubble Champagne!"

"Swing Sonic!"

"Parietis of unda videor!" shouted Brant as a wall of water appeared and deflected all of their attacks.

"What was that?!" shouted Buttercup.

Brant was breathing more heavily and didn't look like he could fight anymore.

"Brant you shouldn't have done that."

"Why not? He was kicking ass just now! Come on Brant, do you have enough energy to defeat at least that guy?"

"I-I'll try. Glacies unda , transporto is guy utabyssus!" Arrows of Ice Water appeared and flew towards Baldev at high speed.

"So now you're trying?" Baldev blocked every single arrow with his hand.

"Is he some type of monster?!" exclaimed Blair.

"Hey Powerpuff Z, don't tell me that you three already gave up." said Baldev.

"Like hell we would. Swing Sonic II!" shouted Buttercup and made a direct hit on Blair.

"Bubble Champagne II!" Bubbles made a direct contact with Blanche.

"Ichigo Sundae Shoot II!" Blossom made a direct contact with Brenda

The three girls turned towards their counter parts, "You're gonna wish that you shouldn't have done that."

Black aura surrounded that girls and their eyes went into a split pupil. The Powerpuff Z looked at each other worriedly.

'So it looks like I'm not the only one who can do that.' thought Baldev as he watched the Dark Powerruff Z carefully.

"Hey Baldev, can you think of something that we can do?" said Blossom.

"Defeat your counterpart under 300 seconds and you'll be fine." said Baldev.

"300 seconds?" Bubbles tilted her head in confusion.

"Make that less than 250 seconds now."

"What happens if we don't defeat them in time?"

"I have to deal with them so that whatever you girls dreamed doesn't come true."

"You're kidding me!" shouted Blossom.

"I better hurry if I were you. 230 seconds left."

"Let's just finish them off!" Buttercup already flew into battle with Blair.

"Right behind you!" Bubbles flew into battle with Blanche.

"Hey wait for me!" Blossom flew into battle with Brenda.

"-sigh- I thought that I would never get rid of them." Baldev turned towards his counterpart, "Now for you, Sub elementumut EGO to order, vigoratus is alio."

Brant was healed and stared at Baldev in surprise, "Why did you heal me?"

"It's not like I want to do it for myself. Your sisters were pretty mad, and I thought that this might help them out of their little anger rage."

"You're one weird guy." laughed Brant.

"It's not the first time that I've heard that. Answer this question, will you leave town with your sisters or do I have to dispose of you four right here and now?"

"I'd choose the second one. Unda mucrovideor"

With Blair and Buttercup:

'How much longer until I have to beat this brat?' thought Buttercup, having a bit of a hard time with Blair.

"Your attacks are nothing!" Blair punched Buttercup in the stomach, which caused her to cough some blood.

Buttercup wiped a line of blood that was coming out of her mouth and punched Blair in the face. Blair got more mad and kicked Buttercup continuously that she barely had the time to defend herself.

'D-Damn! She's too strong!' thought Buttercup, managing to block some hits.

With Brenda and Blossom:

"Chocolate Sundae Shoot!" shouted Blossom, throwing her yo-yo.

Brenda easily caught the yo-yo, "Is this the level of the leader?"

Brenda pulled hard on the yo-yo causing Blossom to go towards her. She took that chance and punched Blossom hard in the stomach.

'She's strong!' thought Blossom, managing to stay conscious.

With Blanche and Bubbles:

"Bubble Champagne!" shouted Bubbles.

"Little brats don't know when to quit repeating themselves like monkeys!" said Blanche, easily deflecting her attacks.

With one swift move, she punched Bubbles from the back causing her to drop her wand.

'There's no way that I can defeat her by myself!' thought Bubbles, putting her hand on her back.
