Powerpuff Bleached
Ch.11
Blossom was running down the long hall when she heard an immense explosion up ahead. "What was that?" Blossom said as she stopped to evaluate the situation, "Wait that power, it feels like Buttercups, she must be fighting someone really strong, I hope she's Ok." Blossom said as she dashed to where Buttercups fluctuation of energy was coming from.
Suddenly she heard a second and then a third explosion up ahead followed by incredibly dense power coming from the same location. "This power, it's so strong, Buttercup might be in trouble. I better hurry!" Blossom said as she soared down the long hallway. Suddenly the corridor up ahead exploded outward and a large gaping hole opened up, Blossom quickly jumped in and saw a large room full of Bamboo shoots, dewed grass and refreshing cool air.
"What the? This looks like some other world, is it a distortion or something?" She walked in and felt an incredible clash of power just to the right of her, "Buttercup!" Blossom yelled as she ran in the direction of the explosion but as she got closer she felt both of their powers starting to fade, one more rapidly than the other. When Blossom finally made it passed the thick Bamboo forest she saw a lone warrior standing by the river side covered in burns and blood, she then saw on his battered Kimono was the Number 1 Blossom stared at him in fear until she noticed someone lying on the ground near him beaten and covered in blood. "B…B…Buttercup!" Blossom screamed.
She quickly unleashed all the strength she had and transformed into her Black Rose form. "You, what have you done to Buttercup!" Blossom yelled in anger as she sent a frosty blast of ice energy in his direction. The samurai jumped out of the way and slid on the snow covered ground. "Hmm, looks like I smoked out the second one as well, you won't escape here alive either." Zaraki said as he drew his sword and charged at Blossom, his overall strength rapidly increasing and the darkness around him started resonating with Blossoms ice powers.
A powerful clash of power ensued the battlefield and the swordsman flew back covered in ice; he broke free from his icy prison and dashed back towards her. Blossom started forming ice crystals around herself and her eyes had an icy glow to them. "I know now my forms true power, its ice, I am ice based and I will freeze everything in my path!" Blossom yelled as she flew towards the swordsman and clashed against him in an icy fury.
The swordsman still badly wounded from his fight with Buttercup wasn't able to do much against Blossom's new found power. Blossom soared at him with hatred in her eyes, the swordsman quickly drew his sword and slashed passed Blossom, she quickly countered and formed ice pillars to block the slash but the force of it sent her flying back a bit but she quickly recovered mid air. Blossom still enraged over Buttercup's defeat gathered an immense amount of energy around herself yelled "Frost Bite" and sent shock waves of freezing ice energy that instantly imprisoned everything around her in towering ice crystals.
The swordsman turned his sword and blocked her frosty attack, the force of her power forced Zaraki into a dead lock, suddenly Blossom appeared behind him and super kicked his lower back, he flew a few dozen yards but he was unable to recover on the slippery ground. He noticed that the spot Blossom kicked him on was slowly turning to ice, he got his sword and tried breaking the ice crystals but they where growing fast.
Blossom dashed behind him with Buttercup's saber and stabbed him straight through, the dark green saber that was Buttercup's had warped and turned a frosty blue in response to Blossom's power. Blossom then turned the saber while still inside him and slashed the swordsman's side straight outward. Blood slowly seeped out of the Swordsman's mouth as he fell to his knees and blood gushed from his side.
"Damn, she got me." Zaraki mumbled. He started powering up his full strength causing the whole area to rumble with his demonic ferocity. He spun his sword around and slammed it into the ground "Reap, la muerte daga!" (Reap, death dagger) but before he could fully release his power, Blossom unleashed all her strength and fired a dense ball of ice energy at him completely imprisoned Zariaki in a towering star of ice crystals. Blossom then gathered all the energy she had remaining in her hand and formed a fierce fire ball; she then fired it at the Swordsman's frozen body and destroyed him and his icy tomb. A huge explosion echoed across the field with gale force winds and bits and pieces of ice fell from the sky like snow.
Blossom started calming down and relaxing her tense body when she felt a sharp pain shoot up her arm, "Ow, I didn't realize that he cut my arm, at least I got him. Wait, Buttercup!" Blossom said as she ran to Buttercup's side. "Buttercup, Buttercup no please, don't DIE!" Blossom cried out as she started using what little healing power she had. "I know my healing magic isn't anything compared to Bubbles' but I have to try." Blossom said as she concentrated all her power into healing Buttercup's wounds. "I can still here a very faint pulse and her breathing is very shallow but it's there, she's still alive!" Blossom started crying tears of joy knowing that Buttercup was still alive. "Come on, you have to hang in there, you're stronger than this, you can make it Buttercup! I just know you can!"
Blossom stayed in the room trying to revive Buttercup as best as she could while on the other side of the castle, Bubbles found another room at the end of the long hall way. Bubbles walked inside and felt a disturbing fluctuation of energy "This power, it feels so wicked. What kind of heartless person does this belong to?" Bubbles saw the dark room change shape and theme, "What the, is this some sort of distortion." Bubbles heard the door close shut behind her and the room sealed itself off, the entire room turned into some sort of dungeon with numerous blood covered torture devices laying around on the stone floor.
"Welcome my dear." A demented female voice said.
Bubbles turned and saw a pale looking woman with long jet black hair, sharp nails, a bloody dress, a large snake like body and a large mouth with lots of teeth. "My dear, what are doing here, can't you see that I just finished eating." She started giggling "You must be my desert; I hope you're as strong as my last meal, former Number 12."
"What? You just finished eating Number 12! Does that mean you…you ate…" Bubbles stuttered as she remembered that Mojo was Number 12.
"Yes, I had Icarus for dinner." She said as she picked up pieces of large feathers off the ground. "Oh did you mean that stupid monkey the current Number 12. Oh honey, please don't make me laugh. I won't eat anyone unless Lord Him tells me too. However, he did mention that I could indulge myself with a small brat that carelessly broke into our marvelous fortress." The snake lady said with a sinister smile then with out warning she quickly slithered towards Bubbles and tried trapping her in her scaly tail, Bubbles jumped out of the way and saw her coiling up ready to charge again.
Bubbles asked "What is your rank, are you a Number!"
"No I'm a former Number, Number 7 is what my rank was. Unfortunately I wasn't able to uphold to HIM's expectations and I was stripped of my rank but that doesn't mean I'm any weaker than the current Number 7!" She quickly lashed at Bubbles and tried biting her with her razor sharp teeth, Bubbles jumped out of the way and powered up her magic but she was suddenly caught off guard by a quick swing from the woman's tail. Bubbles slammed into the wall and cracked the stone pillars that surround them.
Bubbles quickly recovered and dodged another swing from her, Bubbles swiftly transformed into her star form and rapidly dashed towards the demented snake fiend. Bubbles unleashed a barrage of super kicks, punches and magic spells at the snake woman temporarily knocking her out. The snake woman slowly got up and started rattling her tail, she then fell to her belly and started crawling apace towards Bubbles.
Bubbles quickly used a powerful ice spell and instantly froze her in an icy prism. The ice started to crack as the snake woman was trying to escape; Bubbles gathered different elemental magic together and spun it into one giant ball light of energy. Bubbles closed her eyes and concentrated her strength and fired the holy light at the snake woman just as she broke free, a large explosion enveloped the small room as giant chunks of warm flesh started falling down from the blast area. "Eww, gross!" Bubbles said as she tried to avoid the mess. Suddenly the wall opened up and a new path unearthed itself to her. "Looks like this is my way out, I wonder how Blossom and Buttercup are doing?" Bubbles said as she continued down the narrow corridor.
Blossom was still healing Buttercup, about two hours have passed sense she started healing her and Buttercup's condition is slowly improving. "Buttercup, you've suffered so much. I can't believe this happened to you, your wounds took so long to heal, it felt like your demon powers were trying to keep me from reviving but at least your bleeding stopped and you're doing better now." Blossom was near exhaustion so she drank an X recover and continued the tedious task of healing Buttercup, "I only have three left, I better save one for Buttercup once she's recovered."
Three hours later
"It's must be getting late outside." Bubbles said. "Some of the rooms have a sun or a moon or some other weird thing that can't tell what time it is exactly. This is the weirdest castle I've ever seen. I should rest a bit somewhere safe." Bubbles found a nice hiding spot in between hall ways; it was storage room of sorts."This is good enough." Bubbles examined the room carefully then she cautiously got comfortable and went to sleep.
Blossom just finished healing Buttercups wounds so she laid down on the soft grass to rest for a bit, "It's so peaceful here, the crescent moon, the cool night air, and the sound of the river rushing by, maybe a short nap would be alright." Blossom said as she dozed off into a deep slumber.
