Chapter 10
Buttercup stood up and looked down at her sister. She didn't want to just leave her laying here on the ground, but it was all she could really do. At least for now. She floated up a little ways, and with a reluctant sigh, flew up into the air. Leaving Blossom laying on the ground, to get some much needed rest.
"Alright Bubbles, here i come." she said to herself.
Buttercup stopped in front of the outer layer of the Tornado, her nose just mere inches from the winds. She stared into the winds, looking at Bubbles. Who's silhouette was visible through the bright blue light. Buttercup squinted, trying to peer through the light, to make out her sister entirely. Suddenly, it became visible...
...Bubbles floated there. Her body limp and almost hanging. Her arms lying at either side of her, swaying slightly back and forth. Her eyes closed and seemingly peaceful. She was wearing her classic blue dress, the ones they always wore on their adventures. But it was cut up, torn in many different places. Her belly was visible through a tear on her dress. Her nipple through another. There was a slight cut on one of her legs, blood dripping slowly down her leg, a clear path for the blood to follow already visible. But Buttercup looked up to her face again, almost sure she saw something that couldn't be there. But it was exactly what she thought, tears were flowing down her face. Her cheeks visibly wet and smeared. Mascara flowing down her face as well. Which had to be impossible, you couldn't cry when you were dead could you? No that had to be impossible. It had to be.
Suddenly a boom resonated behind her. She spun around, thinking at first that an explosion had to have happened behind her. She knew Bubbles was her main priority, but would save anyone in need of it. She would never forgive herself if someone died, and she could've done something about it.
A bright pink light shone up to her, it blinded her at first and she threw her hand up to cover her eyes. She squinted her eyes and tried to peer through the light, to see what was going on.
Blossom was rising off of the ground. Floating into the air belly first. The light shining out of her mouth and eyes, her arms hung limp at her side, waving slightly back and forth. Her legs hung down as well. Her hair hung limp, moving slightly with the winds. The light surrounded her, almost in a bubble.
"No." Buttercup whispered. She shot down towards Blossom, trying to reach her before anything happened. Before she became like Bubbles. "Not you too."
Another loud boom resonated from Blossom, Blossom's body shook with the incredible force, it slammed into Buttercup. It threw her backwards, her body flipping over itself. She slammed through an outer wall of a building behind, coming to a stop as she hit a second wall inside. She hit the floor hard, bouncing only once. Slowly she picked herself up.
"Why?" she whispered. She let out a scream of pain and anguish, punching the floor. Her hand disappearing between the broken floorboards. She pulled it back out, only to thrust it down again. She needed to feel the pain of the wood cutting into her, to know she was still awake and alive, not dreaming this awful nightmare around her.
The winds outside picked up, almost doubling in strength. Buttercup looked up through the whole she had created in the wall. She saw Blossom floating slowly higher into the air. Winds began to surround her body, just as they did Bubbles. Only these winds were pink. A crack of blue lightning shot through the air just outside the Buttercup sized hole in the wall. Almost as if it was trying to discourage Buttercup from continuing her battle.
But it would not stop her.
Author's Note: I'd just like to apologize for how long i'm taking with these updates. I've simply been busy with school work and life. I'm also working on stories unrelated to fanfiction, and don't have as much time as I did before. Again, I apologize.
