Hi again! Thanks once again for the reviews. Now I know I said this one would be a shocker and I DO mean it. So why are you reading my crappy little statment? Read the fic!

--------------------

Recap: Last time we found out that Beauty had joined up with Yumi, commander of Hair Hunt Q block. We also discovered that the spirit of the Grim Reaper was inside of Beauty and Bobobo and friends must fight her to get her back. But that's not all, Hatenkou's older brother Satoshi was a victim to Beauty's new power. Oh please Beauty, come back to us!

--------------------

"So it's come to this," Bobobo said, calmly. "I never thought I'd have to fight you, Beauty."

"Well you thought wrong!" screamed Beauty.

"We have no choice but to fight," said Bububu

"And none of us are going to hold back," Hatenkou added.

"Just get on with the battle already!" yelled Jelly, impatiently.

Episode 10- The Showdown Against An Old Friend

--------------------

Beauty smirked and began running toward Hatenkou, planning to drain his energy for herself but was stopped by Bububu who wrapped her armpit hairs around her. Bobobo was about to hit her with two nostril hairs when she disappeared.

"What the? Where'd she go?" asked Bobobo.

"She just disappeared!" Bububu exclaimed.

"I bet it was one of her new techniques," said Hatenkou. But then Hatenkou suddenly began screaming in pain. Beauty had snuck up behind him in order to attack.

Draining people's energy was not Beauty's actual attack. Her actual attacks were far more deadly. For instance, the move she used on Hatenkou was called the Double hit. It was called that since all she had to do was hit a person in the back and a small amount of blood would come out opposite to where the attack was but a lot of blood would come out of their mouth too. Hence the name Double hit.

Hatenkou fell to the ground coughing up a large amount of blood. This only left Bobobo and Bububu to fight her. Yumi was sat in the background laughing uncontrollably.

"This match is the best I've seen in a long time," she said, as she continued to watch the battle go on.

"Aww. Is one of your members down?" Beauty teased.

"Damn. How'd she do that?" asked Bobobo.

"Hatenkou's too weak to fight now. So it's just us two," stated Bububu as Bobobo nodded.

"Ha. This is too easy," Beauty said as she began to close in on Bububu. She punched Bububu in the stomach while she was still off guard, making her cough up blood and fall to the ground. "Two down, one to go."

"Beauty, listen to me," begged Bobobo.

"Why should I listen to you?!" Beauty screamed. "All you ever did was shun me. Whenever we were all in trouble you just pushed me aside and took care of the problem yourself."

"Beauty, that's not true. We were only trying to protect you."

"Oh so now you're saying you thought I was weak!? Well not any more! I WILL PROVE TO YOU THAT I AM STRONGER THAN ALL OF FIVE OF YOU IMBECILES PUT TOGETHER!"

Beauty created a shadow ball in the palm of her hands and threw it at Bobobo who was too slow to dodge and got hit at full power.

"No! Bobobo!" cried Hatenkou, Bububu, Jelly and Satoshi.

"That attack was strong," Bobobo stated, getting up of the ground. "But not strong enough to defeat me!"

"WHAT! HOW COULD YOU SURVIVE MY DEADLYEST ATTACK!?" screeched Beauty, who was secretly creating another shadow ball, only this time bigger, behind her back.

"Because my will power is stronger than you'll ever be. Not to mention I have my friends cheering me on. If it was you in my place, then you would be stronger than your opponent."

"AND THERE YOU GO AGAIN WITH YOUR SILLY LITTLE FRIENDSHIP THING AGAIN. IF I WAS YOU THEN I WOULD FORGET THEM AND FIGHT FOR MYSELF."

"But Beauty. Just before, you said that you thought I was doing that to you. It made you feel sad and alone. If you did that to the others, then they would feel just as bad as you felt."

"WELL UNLIKE YOU I DON'T CARE ABOUT THEM. THEY'RE ALL STUPID, IDIOTIC AND WORTHLESS!"

Beauty threw the shadow ball she had behind her back at Bobobo who fell to the ground. He was too weak to get up now. Was it the end for him? Bobobo looked up to see Beauty towering over him with a smug grin on her face. She began generating one more shadow ball. The one that would lead to the end of Bobobo.

"WELL BOBOBO, GOT ANY LAST WORDS BEFORE YOU DIE?" Beauty asked.

"Oh man," said Hatenkou who was laid on his side on the ground.

"Is this really gonna be the end of Bobobo?" asked Jelly who was sat with Satoshi.

"I think it may be," said Satoshi.

"Little brother," Bububu managed to say who was laid on her stomach watching the match. But then a bright light appeared in front of Bobobo making Beauty step back a bit to get away from the it. As the light faded, it revealed...

"Is that?" Bobobo asked.

"It can't be," said Jelly

"It has to be," said Bububu

"It is!" Hatenkou cried.

"DON PATCH!"

--------------------

"I can't believe it," said Jelly.

"Who is that?" asked Satoshi, pointing to the poprock in front of Bobobo.

"That's Don Patch."

"God-father's come back from the dead!" cried Hatenkou.

"But... I thought you had died," said Beauty, completely shocked to see Don Patch.

"Beauty, listen to me! You have to stop this madness!" Don Patch said, boldly.

"Oh no! he might be able to break the spell!" cried Yumi.

"Listen to me Beauty. Remember when I came to you in your dream?"

"Yeah. I remember that. You told me I was in danger. And when Yumi said she could help me get stronger I joined her in order to protect myself," Beauty explained.

"No Beauty. When I told you that you were in danger, I didn't mean that guy with the underwear on his head."

"I'm pretty sure it was dundies," stated Bobobo.

"Well dundies then! Back to what I was saying. I never meant that you were in danger because of him. I meant you were in danger because of Yumi."

"NO! THAT'S NOT TRUE! YUMI TAUGHT ME TO PROTECT MYSELF!"

"No Beauty. She's using you. Don't you see it! She turned you against us. But deep down I know, we all know that you're still our friend. And I'm sure Gasser would say the same thing if he were here."

"Gas-Can?" Beauty broke down onto her hands and knees and began crying hard. "I-I'm so s-s-sorry. I-I didn't mean to hu-hurt you."

"I know you didn't Beauty."

"We all knew," Bobobo said, standing up.

"Because you're our friend," said Jelly, standing next to Bobobo.

"And nothing's gonna change that," Bububu stated, standing next to Jelly.

"No matter how hard people try," added Hatenkou, standing next to his God-father. Satoshi just watched in amaze. It was then Beauty remembered she still had her shadow ball.

"Yumi!" Beauty shouted to Yumi. "You turned me against my friends and made me fight them! Now you must pay!"

Beauty threw the shadow ball at Yumi, causing her to fall over the edge of the building and landing on the ground with blood going everywhere. A white glow appeared around Beauty. When it faded she was back to wearing her old clothes and the shine was back in her eyes. She felt a hand on her shoulder. It was Bobobo.

"You did the right thing," Bobobo said to her. "Now then. Why don't we all go home?" Beauty nodded then stared at Satoshi. "That's Satoshi, Hatenkou's older brother."

"Older brother? Hey Satoshi, why don't you come stay with us for a while?" Beauty suggested.

"Well, I don't know..." said Satoshi, unsure what his answer would be.

"Come on big bro," Hatenkou said. "How long has it been since we've seen each other?"

"Well, ok. That's if it's not too much trouble."

"Of course not. We've got plenty of rooms," said Bobobo, as they all made their way home.

--------------------

Just as our heroes, along with Beauty and the newly member Satoshi, reached the outside of their home Bububu remembered something.

"Oh no!" she cried.

"What's wrong big sis?" asked Bobobo.

"It's been five days since five days ago!"

"Obviously," Satoshi pointed out.

"You don't get it. Tomorrow's the 25th December. Today's the 24th December! Today is Beauty's birthday!"

"Whaa! I completely forgot about that!" cried Beauty.

"Hey I got an idea!" said Don Patch.

"You do?" asked Bobobo.

"Why don't we all take Beauty out somewhere tonight? Somewhere that she'll enjoy."

"Great idea God-father," said Hatenkou.

"That sound good to you Beauty?" asked Bububu.

"Yeah that'll be great," Beauty said, now excited about tonight. As our heroes went inside and got to the living room, on the small table next to the couch, was a box and a note folded in half. Bububu walked over to it.

"It's for you Beauty," she said. Beauty walked over to it and took the note.

"What's it say?" asked Satoshi.

"It says; 'Dear Beauty, please forgive me for not showing up on your birthday. So instead I sent this note and a present. Once again please forgive me. I hope you enjoy your present. GASSER!'"

"What!?" the others, except Satoshi, cried.

"The note and present. They're from Gas-Can!"

"Gas-Can?" Satoshi asked.

"He used to be on our team but for some reason he left," Hatenkou explained. "Still, it was nice of him to send you a gift."

"Well don't just stand there, Beauty. open the present," said Bobobo.

"It's a photo album," Beauty said as she took it out of the box. "It's got pictures from all the times we've spent together!"

"Hey I remember that!" Don Patch exclaimed, pointing to that picture from episode 25 of Bobobo-Bobo-Bobo where there was that couple in the amusement park and Hatenkou was in the background as a ghost.

"Yeah that was freaky," said Hatenkou.

"Hey guys, who's up for my world famous pie?" asked Bububu. Everyone raised there hand and the rest of the night was filled with fun and laughter.
