Chapter 10

8pm- A blond 20 year old named Maureen Baxter heads to Townsville from Cityville to look for a little fun. She was a lady of the evening; offering her body to anyone who was interested. However her journey through Cityville came up cold, so she decided to see if there were any takers in Townsville.

9pm- Maureen stands by a light post dressed in her red mini skirt, fish net stockings and see through tank top. She's bored out of her mind; she didn't know why she thought it was a good idea to scout out at Townsville. This was such a squeaky clean city by day; she thought for sure she would get some action at night.

"You look lonely pretty lady, want some company?"

Maureen gasped and turned around; standing there in the shadows was a Rowdyruff Boy. The teen looks up at her with piercing dark green eyes as if waiting for her to respond. She grins at him "actually I am; are you going to keep me company?" this was just the break she was looking for. She knew the Rowdyruffs had money and were not above paying for sex, she was going to make out like a bandit tonight.

The poor thing had no idea how wrong she was.

It was around 10pm when Maureen found herself running for her life; she ducked through alley after alley along the shadows. She knew that if she was caught she was dead, she thought about her family and how badly she treated her mother. She never got to apologize to her before she passed away due to cancer. She spots Butches shadow on the ground which told her he was still following her. She cries uncontrollably as she weakly continues to run, at this moment she thought about her boyfriend who she treated like dirt and cheated on. She also thought about all the mistakes she made in her life including the one leading up to this moment. After a while of running her legs were beginning to feel like lead weights, she leaned against the wall of the alley she was in. She frantically looks all around her and up at the sky; she saw nothing. Her heart was beating a mile a minute and fear wrecked her entire body, she wanted to go home, that's all she wanted right now was to go home. The air around her was quiet, she heard absolutely nothing. When she is sure that the coast is clear, she slowly turns and begins to walk towards the street area when she bumps into something, a human head.

"BOOO" Butch said scaring the wits out of Maureen sending her falling backwards onto the ground. He was floating upside down grinning at her wickedly "oh so sorry, you almost made it", he floats right side up and walks toward her. Maureen shivers like a scared rabbit on the cold ground; Butch kneels over and grabs her by the wrist "come on now, on your feet". He crushes her wrist and flings her lightly against the wall.

The blond woman screams out in pain and holds her wrist. She sobs uncontrollably while looking at her injured wrist, to her horror it was somewhat dislocated from her arm. The only thing holding it in place was a thin piece of muscle tissue, blood shot out of her wound making her even weaker. She sees the shadow of her assailant looming over her and feebly tries to shield herself with her other working hand "p…p…..please don't …..I beg you….don't….."

Butch smiles at her; it was as if she was asking him the weather "don't what? Don't crush every single bone in your body? Don't tear the skin off your body like paper?"He laughs but suddenly becomes serious "we can do way better then that; I want to hear you scream". He grabs her already broken wrist and yanks it completely off the rest of her arm.

Maureen let out an ear piercing scream, as she gawks at her bloody stump. The pain almost blinded her as she throws up the contents of her stomach onto the cold ground and cries hysterically. As her body weakens from the extreme blood lose she shakes uncontrollably and slides back down onto the ground. Her gaze was casted downward; too afraid to look up at Butch again. She tries to inch away from him pressing further along the wall "no…..NOOOO, I don't want to die….please don't…..DON'T KILL ME".

"Sorry love" Butch said as he grabs her by the neck and raises her up to stand on her feet "but once I start I have to finish". He puts his thumb on her forehead "this is going to be excruciatingly painful…..goodbye". He pushed his thumb onto her forehead which forced her head back again the wall behind her; due to his strength his thumb slowly cracks the front of her skull. She screams feeling the intense pressure digging its way through slowly into her skull, it was like a vice crushing her head in. Suddenly a green blur knocks Butch off his feet and away from the prostitute. She slumps to the floor but is quickly caught by her new found savior.

Buttercup's face paled while looking at this poor woman who at this moment kept vomiting on herself. Blood leaked out of her ears, eyes and nose causing Buttercup to completely freak "HOLY SHIT! HOLD ON, I'll get you to a hospital".

"HEY" Butch yells at her standing up from the floor "That's my prostitute, GET YOUR OWN". Buttercup ignores him and picks Maureen up into her arms. Butch becomes enraged "HEY DIDN'T YOU HEAR ME BITCH?! LEAVE THE GIRL AND GET LOST". Buttercup notices the missing hand on the floor close by and kneels down to pick it up. She then floats a little with the victim passed out in her arms. Butch becomes furious "don't you dare ignore me, DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE".

Any other time Buttercup would have pummeled the man into dust. However the way the prostitute looks right now made her change her priorities. She sends a quick glare at him before flying off "I don't have time for your psychotic ass right now, you heartless piece of shit". Without another word she flew off into the night sky with the prostitute making up her mind to avenge her later.

Butch stands there stunned with his eyes widened watching Buttercup fly away with his latest victim "y….yo….you don't have time for me? Did….did she just fucking say that?" He could suddenly feel his blood boiling as anger instantly takes over his senses "well….if you don't have time for me then why don't I make time".

Buttercup looks ahead of her and sees the hospital in the distance, it will take only a minute for her to get there "stay with me lady, we're almost there". The woman has been drifting in and out of consciousness this whole time; she was barely able to register what her savior was saying. Suddenly the both of them are knocked out of the sky by something resembling a cannon ball barreling into them. Buttercup struggles to stay in the air and at the same time catches the woman before she slips out of her arms "what just…..?" She doesn't get to finished that sentence before a dark green flash zooms past her grabbing the prostitute from her arms "Butch….no". She zooms after him "what are you doing?"

Butch zooms further away from her "getting rid of any distractions". Buttercup comes after him again only to be swiftly kicked in the face and launched back to the ground. Buttercup gets up again slowly but is taken down once again by a full on energy bomb. This slammed her even deeper into the ground creating a crater underneath her, she found her self anchored to the floor by a combination of pain and the aftershock of the bomb. Butch chuckles, then looks up and sees an airplane flying by in the sky "That'll work". Without another word he catapults the semi conscious woman directly in the path of the oncoming plane. Buttercups eyes widen as she realizes what the other male was doing, she forces herself up and zooms past him still trying to save the woman. Butch grabs her by the foot and yanks her back down. He swings her like a baseball bat into a nearby building; he then shoots downward towards the ground and throws her through a store window.

Maureen's POV

Where am I? I can't hear anything…..am….am I flying?

Maureen…..

Mother?

Everything's alright Maureen, Look…look at the moon. Isn't it beautiful?

Yes, it's so bright and so close…I can almost touch it. I was in so much pain earlier but now I'm floating, I can't feel anything. Oh…..an airplane is coming towards me…never been on one before.

Close your eyes honey, we'll see each other soon enough.

But mother….I've been so mean to you…I'm sorry mother. I never meant…

I forgive you Maureen; it's time to come home now.

Yes…I'm coming…..mo*********************************************************

Not in POV

Maureen's body gets sucked up into the airplanes propeller engine and is instantly shredded to pieces.

Buttercup zooms out of the store she crashed through in a state of extreme panic as she looks up at the sky for the woman she was trying to save earlier. After a while something wet hits her face, she touches her cheek and looks at her hand. To her horror she discovers that it was blood, her pupils shrink as she realizes what just happened. Her entire body goes numb while chunks and pieces of the prostitute's body fall to the ground around her with the gentle mists of blood"N…..no".

Butch floats to the far side of her keeping his distance from her and studying her facial expressions. He was waiting for her, waiting for the fight and waiting for her to look at him. But he wouldn't accept just any look; no, it has to be that special look. A look that she reserves just for him and him alone. His mind records her reaction as it slowly comes "well right now she's in shock". He watches Buttercup's head slump down and she falls to her knees, her eyes welled up with tears, Butch smiles "now she is in despair". Her whole body quivers and her fists clench, Butch laughs "wow, all of these emotions over some bitch you don't even know, interesting". Buttercup grinds her teeth which felt like they would shatter in her mouth; her anger welling up inside of her. Butch floats a little closer to her forcing her to look up at him "so Buttercup, tell me…." This was the look he had been waiting for all night, the look of pure hatred, his expression turns from being amused to being serious "do you have time for me now?"

Buttercup launches herself at him at full force screaming in rage. She throws her first punch directly at his face forcing him to teeter backwards. In that same instant she delivers another blow to his chest sending him flying off his feet and onto his back. Before he has a chance to register what happened, she straddles his waist. She then delivers a rapid barrage of punches to his face; Butch then grabs one of her fists and holds it. Buttercup grabs his neck with her free hand and head butts him in the face. Butch turns them both around and slams her into a wall. Buttercup knees him in the crotch causing him to shout out in pain, she then raises that same leg up and kicks him off of her. Never missing a step she zooms into him sending them both through the wall of another building.

While they continue their fight some of the townspeople start to stir not daring to step out of their apartments. Some stare frightened at the display, some take pictures as Buttercup and Butch bash their way through the building to out on the streets again. However those who didn't want to be the spectators of so much violence picked up their phones to call the police and the mayor's office.

Meanwhile at Townsville Hall

The mayor of Townsville is jolted out of his sleep by the sound of phones ringing "DAAAAAHHHHHHH, ABANDON SHIP". He falls off the bed and onto the floor and groans a little while holding his head "ouch". He crawls on the floor over to the night stand next to his bed; he feels around on its surface for his monocle and hat and puts them on. With a yawn, he walks towards the door "hold your horses, I'm coming". He scratches the huge bald spot on his head while making his way to the doors of his office. The short old man pushes the double doors open and walks into his office where about 10 different phones sit on his desk all ringing at the same time "d'oh whose cotton picking idea was it to put all these phones on my desk". Of course the phones were his bright idea as a campaign to ensure that everyone in Townsville would be able to contact him when there's a problem.

Suddenly Sarah Bellum dashes through the door into the room, her usual red business suit was wrinkled and her red hair was still in curlers; she had obviously been in a hurry to get there. She rushed over to the mayor in haste "we have a problem mayor".

"Ill say" the mayor said annoyed at the constant ringing "there's way too many phones on my desk, quickly CALL AT&T".

"First of all mayor, I've told you time and time again that you don't need 10 phones" Ms. Bellum said equally annoyed "a switchboard phone would have done the trick of all 10".

"And I told you I don't need to switch boards, this floor is carpeted" the mayor said "next time just get one of those phones that allow you to switch from one caller to another. Darn it, what are those called again?"

"OH NEVERMIND" Ms Bellum walks over to the powerpuff hotline phone and picks it up. When someone answers the call, Bellum remains calm and tries to talk to them "girls come quickly, there's a huge fight in the middle of the city, there's blood and chunks everywhere on the streets and buildings are being destroyed. It's horrible…yes…oh thank you girls". She turns around to where the mayor was "well the girls are on their way m…."The mayor was looking out an open window just as Buttercup is slammed right underneath his window sill.

The mayor waves to her "oh hey Buttercup, say there's a crazy fight going on in the city. Any idea who's fighting?"

Buttercup glares up at him and clenches her teeth "Gee haven't a FUCKING clue who the FUCK is fighting…..IDIOT". She zooms off to resume the fight.

The mayor stares blankly in her general direction then turns to Ms Bellum "gosh…..she doesn't seem to know either, WE MUST GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS, CALL THE POWERPUFF GIRLS, MS BELLUM".

"Already did mayor" Ms. Bellum said hanging up the phone.

The mayor looks over at her confused "d….uhh….did what?"
