I'm going to be honest, it literally hurts a little because this is the second to last chapter of Ruff Love...
Butch:...Wait WHAT!
Me:... yeah.. what's wrong?
Butch: you can't, it just got really good!
Me:... and it's about to get even better! *mischievous look*
Butch: what are you going to d-
Me: READ ON!
Blossom opened her eyes to find her sisters and the Boys lying on the floor around her.
"Where are we?" she asked quietly. She turned to where Brick was lying.
"Brick! Brick wake up!" she only managed to say softly. Brick was mumbling something in his sleep.
"…angle B is congruent to angle cheese…" he mumbled. He sat up with wide eyes, "D-did I pass the quiz?" he asked.
"Wha-, yeah, yes you passed Brick" Blossom said. He smiled, but then he realized what was happening, "Whoa! Where are we?"
"I don't know, but wake up your brothers" she said. While he did that, she woke each of her sisters.
Once the others were awake, a door opened.
"I'm gonna punch whoever did this to us!" Buttercup shouted.
Princess walked into the dim room with an evil smile on her face.
"Too easy!" Buttercup jumped up to fly, but fell right back down to the ground, "What gives!"
Princess laughed, "Awe, poor Powerpuff Girls, it seems like you've somehow lost your powers!"
"What did you do Princess?" Blossom demanded.
"I just took away your Chemical X so I could use it in my new robot!" Princess smirked.
"And I know what you're thinking 'why not just put the Chemical X into me?' well, I decided I could do so much more damage if I just gave a giant robot your powers" Princess took out a remote control, and a the robot ripped the roof off of the building they were in and knocked the Girls and Boys into the street. Princess made her way into the robot and controlled from the inside.
"Why are you doing this you spoiled brat!" Buttercup shouted as Butch helped her to her feet.
"The same reason it's always been! You Girls wouldn't let me into your group! All I wanted was to help you, but no, you refused to even give me a chance!"
"Man, you have got to let it go already! Why do you have to hold such a grudge?" Buttercup was getting frustrated.
"And what do you have against us!" Boomer asked.
"I couldn't let you Boys have powers too, because you would help the Girls! Plus you didn't let me be a Rowdyruff Boy either!"
"Oh come on Princess, you have to know how stupid that just sounded" Buttercup and the others laughed at the thought of Princess being a Rowdyruff Boy.
"SHUT UP!" Princess demanded, "You are all powerless and there's nothing you can do now to stop me!" She let out an evil laugh before she turned to destroy the town.
"Oh no! What are we gonna do!" Bubbles asked fearfully.
"Hey, what's that?" Boomer walked over to a pile of rubble and pulled out a blue sheet of paper.
"It looks like a blueprint for the robot!" he exclaimed.
"Let me see that!" Brick said, Boomer handed him the blueprint.
"It is! Maybe we can use this to defeat the robot" Blossom said as she peered over Brick's shoulder.
"We should go see the Professor and have him help us form a plan! Come on!" Blossom jumped to fly but fell to the ground.
"Right. No powers, forgot about that."
When the six finally got to the Girls' house, after running for so long, they found the Professor in his lab.
"Professor, how long have you been here?" Bubbles asked.
"A few hours why?" he answered.
"We haven't seen you since last night" Buttercup said.
"Oh… it didn't seem like that long." Blossom told the Professor about what happened and handed him the blueprints.
"How did you find this?" he asked.
"It was literally just lying on the ground" Buttercup answered.
"Yeah, Princess may have evil plans, but she's not the smartest with little details like this" Blossom said.
"Okay, well it looks like she has the Chemical X stored here" the Professor pointed to the area where a heart would be. "So you're going to have to find a way into the robot and make your way to the Chemical X. Then drink it and you should get your powers back within five minutes."
"Thanks Professor! Come on guys, lets go take care of Princess!" Blossom said.
"And be careful, without your powers, you're more vulnerable to things you used to be able to withstand!" the Professor called after the group.
"Okay, everyone clear on the plan?" Blossom asked, they all nodded their heads.
Bubbles and Boomer stood in front of the robot, throwing rocks to get Princess' attention. While she stayed in one place, the others entered the robot through an emergency exit in the shoe. Bubbles and Boomer were able to escape Princess' eye sight, and snuck into the robot too.
They all ran as fast as they could up the stairwells that lead to the Chemical X.
"I never thought I would miss flying so much!" Buttercup said her breaths heavy.
"Come on Buttercup, just a little further!" Bubbles said grabbing Buttercup's arm.
When they reached the room where the Chemical X was stored, Brick peeked into the room.
"It's guarded!" he said disappointedly.
"Well of course it is! Did you really think it would be that easy?" Butch argued.
"Shut up, it is Princess, I figured she may not have been smart enough t-"
"Shut up!" Buttercup interrupted, "We're gonna get caught because of you idiots!"
"Okay, lets just go in there and toss them through the glass" Bubbles suggested.
"Simple, but I like it" Brick agreed. They sent the Boys in first and when the fight began, the Girls joined in to help. Even without their powers, they beat the three guards easily. Butch punched the glass the Chemical X was in and screamed in pain. Buttercup laughed even though he did manage to break the glass. Each vial of Chemical X had their name on it, to show the powers the robot had. They unattached the vials from the robot and each drank from their own bottle.
"Oh gross, it tastes horrible!" Bubbles cried.
"I know! But we need to get to the head now and stop Princess!" Buttercup said between gags.
They ran up another flight of stairs and burst into the room. Princess was laughing as she destroyed buildings.
"I think I want to freeze the Powerpuff Girls' house!" she said, unaware that the Girls were in the room. "W-why can't I use the ice breath?"
"Because, you no longer have our Chemical X" Blossom said. Princess turned to see the six and smiled awkwardly.
"You guys ruin everything! Fine, I'll be back, that's a promise!" Princess ran to a red button labeled 'Self Destruct' and brought her fist down on it.
"Princess, what is wrong with you?!" Buttercup shouted.
"Well, I have an escape pod and if you somehow make it out alive, I promise I'll be back!" Princess shot out of the robot and though the sky. Unfortunately for her, she ended up landing in a prison.
"What do we do! We still can't use our powers!" Butch shouted.
"Just jump!" Brick took Blossom's hand and punched the window. They jumped out and landed on a roof top. Boomer and Bubbles jumped out next, barely landing on another roof. Buttercup and Butch were about to jump too, when Butch's pant leg got caught on something near the edge of the robot.
"Buttercup jump, I'll catch up!" he shouted over the voice that said the robot would self-destruct in five seconds.
"No way am I leaving you!" she yelled back. As the automatic voice said one Butch pushed Buttercup off the ledge of the robot. As she fell, she tried to look up to see if Butch had jumped yet. "He had to jump, he just had to" she thought. Her vision was blocked by the explosion of the robot. She was sure she would hit the ground any second when something grabbed her and pulled her to a roof. She was expecting to see Butch's signature smirk, but it wasn't him. Blossom stood in front of her instead.
"Buttercup, are you okay?" Blossom asked with a worried look on her face.
"I'm fine, where's Butch?" She tried to look for him but saw nothing but the smoke from the explosion. Bubbles, Boomer, and Brick joined them on the roof top once the smoke began to clear up.
"I see we have our powers back" she forced a smile, but looked hopefully into the smoke. After a few moments, all the smoke was gone, and there was still no sign of Butch.
"Butch. Butch come on… stop playing around" Buttercup shouted at the pile of broken robot pieces. She wouldn't believe that he was gone, he wasn't! A single tear fell from her eye and down her cheek.
"NO! NO, THERE'S NO WAY HE'S GONE!" she shouted as the others tried to tell her. They didn't want to believe it either, but they couldn't lie to themselves.
Buttercup screamed at the top of her lungs, she cried harder than she ever had. Blossom and Bubbles hugged her as she floated to the ground in front of the pile of rubble. The two Boys joined in the hug and let a few tears escape their eyes.
Buttercup let six simple words come from her mouth before she cried even harder, "I'll always be your Flower, Butch."
Butch:... wait... di-... did you just.. kill me off your story?
Me: ...yep
Butch:... *twitch* WHAT THE HECK! I thought I was your favorite Ruff!
Buttercup: that was sad!
Me: you are my favorite Ruff, but things happen!
Blossom: wow, that is really sad
Brick: just got real...
Bubbles and Boomer: Poor Buttercup...
Me: don't forget the Epilogue!
