Thank you to Magical Blazze, Dynmaite102 and AlexaRainForest for reviewing! Yeah I have over 30 reviews XD and as much as reviews are nice, I love the fact that so many are reading my story. It's really not easy choosing songs that fits the chapter.
Declaimer: I do not own The Powerpuff Girls or I'll Make a Man Out of You.
Reminder: The Ruffs and Puffs look like regular people. Words that are bolded and italic are the lyrics that were incorporate into the story so that way, there's no confusion. I will also put the song and singer so that way, if you like the lyrics, it will be easy to find.
I'll Make a Man Out of You
Performed by Disney's soundtrack Mulan
"So why are we here again?" Boomer looked around the Professor's lab as Buttercup went to some keyboards in front of a large screen. She some how convinced him that she had a plain to help him with Bubbles and now he was starting to regret ever agreeing. Why did they need to be in a lab? What happen to just buying Bubbles some flowers?
"Two reasons," Buttercup turned around and faced him. "One, Brute is in my writing class now and I need to blow off some steam and two, this is going to toughen you up." She went back and started to type in something before pushing him in an empty, white room.
"And why do I have to toughen up for Bubbles? She likes girly things! All I have to do is take her somewhere she thinks that's romantic and tell her I like her. Simple." Boomer felt a hard slap from the back of his head. "Ow," he whined as he looked up at her.
Buttercup just gave him a look and walked over to a switch on the wall. "That may be but she needs someone that can protect her when she can't protect herself. You have to be her hero, her rock, her savoir and that's where I come in. One more thing, when I turn the training room on, we won't be able to use our powers. The only thing we got going for us is our super hearing, strength and speed. Besides that, we'll have our self a good old fashion fight." She smiled as she switched the switch to on.
Boomer looked around as the white room turned into a campsite with tents everywhere he looked. Weapons lined up in a rack, horses tied up to post and flags waving in the air. How the hell did the Professor manage to do something like this? "How's this going to help?"
He looked over to Buttercup, only to find that she was wearing brown faded pants that tighten around her ankles. Her shirt was just a simple plain white tank top along with black slip on shoes and her hair pulled back. He looked down to see his outfit changed as well. His was wearing the same as Buttercup but the only different was he had on a faded brown shirt that was snug on his chest. He looked up in time to catch a long staff thrown at him.
"Let's get down to business—to defeat the Huns."
"Um Buttercup, what the hell are you talking about? There are no Huns. We're not even in China."
Buttercup rolled her eyes at him. "Boomer, please just go along here. No one used this scene yet and this is the perfect time! I've been waiting for a reason to use the Ancient China scene. If you must, think of the Punks as the Huns."
"Fine," Boomer said as he rolled his eyes.
"Good. Now hold your staff like this," she held it up in front of her, sides sticking out. Boomer mimicked her movement and found himself on the floor. Buttercup came at him with lightening speed and used her staff to sweep his feet off the ground. "Did they send my daughters when I asked for sons?"
"You dragged me here!"
"You're the saddest bunch I ever met but you can bet before we're through Mister, I'll make a man out of you." Buttercup pulled Boomer off the ground by his shirt, glaring at him.
"BC, you're scaring me."
The scene changed and now they where standing in the middle of the forest at night. They didn't have their staff's anymore but it was hard to see the area. Boomer looked around to see if he could spot Buttercup but she was nowhere.
"Tranquil as a forest but on fire within." Boomer turned around at the sound of her voice but met her fist instead. He got up quickly and got in a fighting stance, waiting for her this time. "Once you find your center, you are sure to win." He spun around and did a high kick but only felt air. He felt himself kicked form behind and fall to the ground.
"Dammit Buttercup! Stop hiding! I can't see up at all!" Boomer scanned around the area again and saw a movement. Acting quickly, he moved and sent a punch to his left but hit the air again. Growling, he turned around in the dark and felt his face colluding with Buttercup's fist.
"You're a spineless, pale, pathetic lot and you haven't got a clue. Somehow I'll make man out of you."
He got up and whipped some blood from his lip. He turned around and faced a smirking Buttercup. "I'm never gonna catch my breath with you punching and kicking me every time I try to get up. I might as well say good-bye to those who knew me. By the time this is over with, there will be nothing left of me!"
"Keep talking like that, you'll never be worth Bubbles time. Now stop complaining and get ready. The scene's going to change again."
Boy I was a fool in school for cutting gym
This guy got'em scared to death
Hope he doesn't see right through me
Now I really wish that I knew how to swim
Boomer found himself standing in a stream. Weird, it actually felt like he was standing in water. If he weren't watching out for Buttercup, he would actually be enjoying the cool feeling on his legs. He looked around and saw Buttercup standing a few feet away. She smiled at him and jester for him to come at her. Growling, Boomer charged.
Buttercup dodged his attacks easily. "We must be swift as the coursing river but with all the force of a great typhoon." She spoke as she blocked his punch and sent him an upper cut.
Boomer fall into the water and came out actually soaked. Standing up, Boomer went at her again. Buttercup frowned this time when he attacked her. "With all the strength of a raging fire. Mysterious as the dark side of the moon." He tried to kick her from below but she jumped and kicked him under his jaw as she flipped in the air.
"Time is racing toward us till the Huns arrive. Heed my every order and you might survive." She stood beside him with her hands on her hips frowning at him.
"I told you, we're not in China! And you haven't been telling me anything! All you have been doing so far is kicking my ass!" Boomer got up and glared at her.
"You're unsuited for the rage of war," Buttercup said as she shook her head sadly at him.
"What war? You're getting way to into this!" Boomer screamed as he waved his hands in the air.
Buttercup looked at him and growled before sending a punch in his face. As he falls to the floor again, Buttercup spoke. "The war is going to be with those Punks. Just them being here is not good. Something bad is going to happen, I just know it! I have been giving you tips but you're not listening. Bubbles puts up a better fight than you! So pack up, go home, you're through. How could I make a man out of you?"
Buttercup turned around and got ready to leave the training room but stop. She turned around and faced Boomer once more. "I thought you would be a perfect match for her but now I know I was wrong. Bubbles needs someone to protect her and you can't even protect yourself in a practice fight. Hate to see you in a real one." With that, Buttercup continued on her way out.
Boomer stayed there and let her words sink in. There was no way he was going to let her walk out on him. He'll show her that he has more in him then what he's been giving. Standing up, he turned around and shouted towards Buttercup.
"Once more!" She turned around to face him. "Give me one more go beacuse I'm not a quitter!"
Buttercup smiled as she saw the fire burning in his eyes. Here's the fight she has been waiting for. "One more shot Boomer and that's all. Get ready because here I come."
The scene went back to the night forest. Boomer stood in a fighting position and closed his eyes. "We must be swift as the coursing river," he whispered to himself as he heard her coming form behind. Turning around he caught her punch with his right hand, "but with all the force of a great typhoon." He used his left leg and kneed her in the stomach.
Buttercup hunched over but got up quick and smiled before disappearing in the dark again. Boomer waited again and listened for her movements. She was coming to his left and he turned, using his arms to block her high kick. "With all the strength of a raging fire," using the arm that blocked her kick her grabbed her leg and spun her to the left. "Mysterious as the dark side of the moon."
Buttercup looked up to see that it was Boomer this time, to hide in the dark. Smiling, she got up and waited for him. Hearing him coming from the back, she turned around and stopped his kick with both of the palm of her hands but felt his fist hitting her cheek. Falling to the ground, she rubbed her cheek and smiled.
The scene changed again as they stood on a mountaintop. Pushing her self up, Buttercup jumped up on her feet and readies herself for him. Boomer smiled and copied her movement. They eyed each other, waiting to see who would go first. Yelling, they both charged.
"We must be swift as the coursing river," Buttercup spoke as she turned around him and elbowed him in the back.
Boomer recovered quickly. "With all the force of a great typhoon," he said as he did a spinning back kick to her face.
"With all the strength of a raging fire," she tried to sweep his feet from under him but Boomer jumped up in the air and kick her in the face.
Buttercup fall to the ground and the scene came back to the white, empty room and their clothes changing back to normal. He walks over to her and offers a hand. As he pulled her up he smiled, "Mysterious as the dark side of the moon."
Buttercup smiled at him and gave him a pat on the back. "That's what I'm talking about! Hell, you had me worried but you know what, that was one hell of a workout!" She rotated her left arm as her right hand was on top of it. "You are now ready to ask out Bubbles."
"Great but first, got anything to eat?" Boomer's stomach growled, proving his point. Buttercup laughed and led him upstairs for some homemade apple pie that Bubbles made last night.
