Secret Love
Chapter 10
The PPGZ quickly made it to the lab and Bright gently laid Momoko on the hospital bed in another room and began to treat her wounds.
"Will she be alright?" Bubbles said with a lot of worry.
"She will Bubbles don't worry. There's no way we're gonna lose her" Bright said as she concentrated on tending Momoko's wounds.
"Why can't you heal her with your healing powers?" Bolt asked her.
"Bling drained my powers away so its impossible for me to heal her. I have to wait for a couple of days until my powers return" Bright explained to her.
"WHAT! WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON THOSE BOYS I'M GONN- Buttercup was cut off as she felt the blood from her wound which caused her to hiss in pain.
"Buttercup! Are you okay?" Bubbles cried out as she helped her friend to the couch and looked over her wound.
"I'm fine Bubbles so don't worry about it" Buttercup reassured her.
"But you're not fine! Wait here, I'll get the medical kit" Bubbles said as she went inside the kitchen and brought out the medical kit.
"Bubbles can you get me a towel and some rubbing alcohol?" Bright asked her.
"Sure" Bubbles replied as she quickly gave her those items and went to tend Buttercup's wound and then to Bolt's.
"I can't believe we thought those boys aren't planning something, how could we be so stupid?" Bolt said in anger as she clenched her fists.
"Let's forget about those boys because right now, we need to heal each other up so no one will suspect our injuries" Bright said as she wrapped some bandages around Momoko's injuries.
"But not only that, they now know who we are. I bet they hate us for lying to them and they're planning to attack us again" Bolt said as she felt a tear run down her cheek.
"I can't believe they would hurt like this, even Brick tried to kill Momoko-chan" Bubbles quivered as tears ran down her cheeks.
"Once we're done healing, I'm gonna murder him for hurting our friend" Buttercup seethed in anger as she clenched her fists.
"There I'm done! Momoko's going to be alright now, all she needs is some rest in order to regain her blood and I already tended her injuries. She just had some broken bones but they were nothing serious since they're slowly healing from the Chemical Z inside our bodies" Bright said as she washed her hands in the sink and dried them with some paper towels. "Now I gotta tend your wounds Bubbles so you won't faint from any blood loss"
"Don't worry I'm fine Bright-chan" Bubbles reassured her.
"Bubbles you have deep long gashes on your arms and legs including your stomach, let her help you" Buttercup told her.
"But what about Bright-chan, she needs to be tended too" Bubbles told her.
"I'll tend her wounds while she tends your wounds" Bolt said.
"Thanks Bolt" Bright said as she began to tend Bubbles wounds while Bolt tended Bright's wounds.
Meanwhile, minutes after the PPGZ retreated, the RRBZ were in shock and horror after realizing that Blossom was Momoko when she untransformed.
"B-Blossom was M-Momoko?" Brick stuttered in shock. "T-That means I-I hurt M-Momoko"
"T-That also means w-we h-hurt M-Miyako, Kaoru, Kyoko, a-and Nexa" Boomer stuttered in horror after realizing he hurt the girl he loved, Miyako.
"I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!" Butch shouted in anger. "WHY DIDN'T THEY TELL US WHO THEY WERE!? WE WOULDN'T HAVE HURT THEM IF THEY TOLD US THE TRUTH!
"OH MAN I HURT KYOKO-CHAN!" Bat cried out in anguish as horror and shock came to him.
"I-I drained N-Nexa's powers, oh no, what have I done!?" Bling nearly broke down when shock came to him.
"Guys we have to calm down!" Brick exclaimed in his leader voice. "We gotta go to the lab and apologize to them for what we did!"
"HOW BRICK!?" Butch exclaimed. "THEY'LL NEVER FORGIVE US NOT AFTER WHAT WE DID TO THEM AND WE NEARLY KILLED THEIR LEADER!"
"I KNOW WHAT WE DID IS UNFORGIVABLE BUT WE GOTTA PROVE IT TO THEM THAT WE'RE REALLY SORRY AND WE REGRET HURTING THEM BY PROTECTING AND MAKING SURE NOTHING BAD HAPPENS TO THEM!" Brick exclaimed while tears formed in his eyes. "Even if they don't forgive us, we still gotta make it up to them and prove them that we really do love them so let's go"
"He's right Butch, we gotta prove to them that we really do love them" Bat said.
"We just gotta have a little faith" Bling said.
The boys flew toward the lab thinking of ways to apologize to their girls. Meanwhile, the girls had their wounds tended and they were resting on the couches except for Bright who was keeping an eye on Momoko incase she ever woke up.
"Bright, you should rest. You still need to heal from those injuries" Bolt told her.
"I'm alright Bolt-chan, I only have cuts and bruises, I'm alright" Bright reassured her.
"At least get some rest or else you'll pass out" Buttercup said.
"Don't worry Bright-chan, all of us will keep an eye on Momoko, you don't have to push yourself" Bubbles replied.
"I'm alright girls don't worry about it" Bright smiled at them.
Suddenly, the doors burst open and the RRBZ came in with guilty looks on their faces.
"What are you guys doing here!? Are you here to finish us off!?" Bolt exclaimed in anger at them.
"Calm down babe we're not here to hurt you" Bat tried to reassure her.
"Get away from us! You just wanna kill us!" Bubbles exclaimed in fear as she threw a lamp at them but Boomer caught it.
"Miyako-chan, we're not here to hurt you! We're here to apologize!" Boomer tried to explain to her.
"That's a lie!" Buttercup exclaimed as she brought out her hammer but Bright stopped her.
"Boys, can we talk outside please?" Bright said in a calm but menacing tone.
"C-Can I at least see Momoko-chan?" Brick slightly stuttered.
"Not yet now outside. Girls, keep an eye on Momoko" Bright commanded as she led the boys outside while the girls kept an eye on Momoko.
Bright took them outside the front yard of the lab and gave the boys her famous death glare which nearly scared them.
"What are you jerks doing here!? Can't you realize how much pain you already gave us!" Bright exclaimed angrily at them with a dark yellow aura.
"Bright just calm down" Bling tried to calm her down but with no avail.
"Calm down? CALM DOWN!? HOW CAN I CALM DOWN WHEN ONE OF MY BEST FRIEND'S IS UNCONSCIOUS WHILE THE OTHERS ARE INJURED BY YOU IDIOTS! YOU DRAINED MY POWERS AND THANKS TO YOU, MOMOKO IS UNCONSCIOUS AND I COULDN'T USE MY POWERS TO HEAL HER! IF I HADN'T RETREAT TO THE LAB AND TENDED HER WOUNDS QUICKLY, SHE WOULDN'T HAVE MADE IT AND COULD POSSIBLY DIE FROM BLOOD LOSS!" Bright shouted as her aura turned into a shape of a wolf.
Brick was in horror after hearing that the girl he loved was unconscious and he blamed himself for hurting her so much.
"Why don't you boys just leave us alone! You just wanna hurt us and toy with our emotions. All this time, we thought you boys loved us but we were wrong, you pretended to like us so you would know our weaknesses and destroy us. Well good job, your plan worked and now we can't fight back or else our wounds will reopen and we might pass out from blood loss" Bright quivered as she fell on her knees and covered her face while tears ran down her cheeks.
Bling quickly wrapped his arms around her, pulling her into a hug. She tried to push him off but he was stronger than her so she let her arms fall to the side and sobbed on his shoulder.
"You're wrong Nexa, we actually do love you girls but we didn't know you were the PPGZ and we regret hurting you and your friends" Butch explained to her.
"We never realized that the PPGZ were just ordinary girls and if we had a time machine, we would go back in time and stop ourselves from hurting you girls" Boomer said with sadness.
"Our greediness got in our minds that we totally forgot about how your girls would feel if we destroyed you" Bat said.
"Even though you and the girls won't forgive us, we're really sorry for what we did and we'll do anything to make it up to you girls and we'll keep protecting and loving you no matter what" Brick finished with their explanation.
Bright got out of Bling's arm and wiped her tears away with her hand and looked at the boys.
"If you boys wanna make it up to us, you better prove you really do wanna love and protect us and make it good or we'll never take you boys back ever but for now, I have to go see how the girls are doing including Momoko-chan since she's still unconscious" Bright said as she turned around and began to go back inside.
"Wait!" Boomer stopped her.
"What is it, Boomer?" Bright said.
"Can we help you take care of the girls since your hands are pretty much full and prove to them that we wanna protect them?" Boomer asked her sheepishly.
"If its alright with your brothers" Bright said looking at the RRBZ.
"We'll do it!" they exclaimed.
"Alright well follow me but you guys better behave or else" Bright threatened them with a menacing tone.
"Okay we promise" Bling put his hands up in defeat.
"Good boys" Bright said as she walked inside with the boys following her.
