Memory 12: Explanation
(Monday, October 22, 2035)
When morning came, sirens rang out in front of the school, with all nine Powerpuffs scanning the area. The school had a big hole in through it. By luck, no one was injured, nor was the school damaged beyond repair. However, the Principal was trying to find someone to blame. First he blamed the Powerpuffs, who in return redirected the blame by saying unless someone alerted them; they couldn't have possibly reacted to such a mess. Therefore, now, the principal was blaming Professor Utonium. So currently, the good Professor is at the school trying to negotiate with the Principal. The Powerpuffs were on the road back to the lab.
"This is the worst…" Kaarii sighed.
"Yeah, first week in, and we already have a mystery afoot." Luke mumbled.
"Kaarii was talking about the quiz, Luke." Momoko stifled a yawn. "If there wasn't a big hole through the building, we would be taking the big science test."
"I studied so hard last night too…" Kaarii mumbled.
"Give me a break!" Kaoru grinned. "I say it was great luck for me!"
"That would be the case if the soccer field wasn't also charred by something that looks like an explosion caused by a mystery machine." Amy reminded. Kaoru sighed.
"Yeah, there's that too, I guess…" Kaoru mumbled.
"I haven't joined any clubs yet, so it's all good for me." Josh yawned.
"I still need to practice for that big badminton match." Kaarii said.
"Stop being a drama queen." Momoko said. "What's done is done."
"Remove the first part and I'd be entirely grateful." Kaarii shot back. She really didn't like people criticizing her way of life.
"Well, we're getting near to the lab." Takaaki noted.
"Yeah." Momoko nodded. "Come on, last one there's a rotten egg!" Momoko sped off the moment she said "egg."
"No fair!" Kuriko yelled, as the group started running as well. Momoko took a turn and stopped, causing Kaarii to collide with her.
"Now this is getting silly." Kaarii mumbled. The other seven walked towards the two, their eyes straight on the pile. Only Momoko's eyes were looking somewhere else. "Why did you stop?" Kaarii asked, sitting up, only to see three boys in identical clothing if it weren't for the color.
"The Rowdyruff Boys!" Miyako gasped.
"Takaaki, Josh, help me out here." Luke walked towards Brick, stuffed his cap back on and hefted him up. Takaaki pulled up Boomer and Josh carried Butch. The six boys entered the lab, followed immediately by the six girls.
"I'll get the first aid kit!" Momoko rushed inside. Luke nodded. She's acting pretty reliable.
"I'm gonna cook." Miyako ran to the kitchen. Luke grinned. Smart move, to get some food for the injured.
"I'll get Ken and Peach to wake up!" Amy nodded and headed for Ken's room. Luke nodded. Maybe Ken will know something.
"I'll get some clean clothes." Kaarii nodded, rushing towards Luke's room. Luke sweat dropped. He didn't remember telling her to rush into his room for clothes, but it was a good move as well.
"I'll get the bath ready!" Kuriko grinned. Luke nodded. The fourteen year olds didn't exactly look the kind who likes to bath. They stink…
"I'll… head to the TV and watch some soccer!" Kaoru yelled. Luke would have smacked his hand on his face if it weren't for Brick. That definitely didn't help three injured, dirty people.
(A few minutes later)
"Finally… got… them… to… wake… up…" Amy panted as Ken lazily walked into the room.
"So where are they?" Ken asked as he walked to the table. Miyako placed some food into the plate and gave it to Ken.
"They woke up and we immediately pushed them into the bathroom." Momoko shrugged. "I guess if they ever want to learn proper hygiene, it's when they're half asleep and bruised all over."
"Are you guys sure this is a smart idea?" Peach asked.
"They're filthy! It's like they haven't taken a bath in three years!" Kaarii squeezed her nose to emphasize.
"Guess that makes sense." Ken shrugged. "So where's Takaaki?"
"Takaaki's with Luke torturing the boys." Kaoru said. "Miyako's revenge, I guess."
"What do you mean by that?" Miyako asked, confused.
"Never mind." Kaoru shrugged.
"So where's Josh?" Peach asked. Momoko pointed at the corner where Josh panted, still exhausted from carrying Butch. A 14 year old carrying another 14 year old is no laughing matter.
"Over there, becoming great eye candy for Kaarii." Momoko shrugged. Kaarii blushed and glared at Momoko. Josh also looked in their direction, though it was more of confusion.
"Enough with the romance jokes." Kaarii moaned. "It's not even funny."
"Well, you've been staring at his direction up to the moment Amy walked in with Ken and Peach." Momoko grinned.
"Confirmed." Kuriko raised her hand.
"No point denying it now, Kaarii." Kaoru grinned. Kaarii sighed.
"Three against one's not fair." Kaarii moaned.
"What are you gals talking about?" Josh walked to the group. Momoko pinched her nose.
"Josh, you're going in the bath after the Rowdyruffs." Peach complained.
"What?" Josh said with a very annoyed look. "I took a bath just this morning!"
"Then why do you stink?" Kaarii said, also pinching her nose. Josh groaned internally.
"Must have something to do with this sock." Josh shrugged, pulling out the sock from his pocket.
"You idiot! Dump that thing in the hamper!" Kaoru yelled.
"Do you really have to call me an idiot?" Josh mumbled, tossing the sock into the hamper.
"We need some air freshener." Kuriko shuddered. The others murmured their agreement when suddenly Butch ran out of the bath, naked. Kaoru jumped up immediately.
"PERVERT!" Kaoru smacked the boy back in the bathroom. Luke sighed and locked the door.
(A few minutes later)
"What kind of people are you?" Boomer mumbled. "The moment we wake up, you smack us in the bath!"
"Sorry, but you were stinky." Amy smiled as she bandaged Boomer's arm. Boomer looked away from the girl.
"You guys escaped Mojo?" Momoko asked as she bandaged Brick.
"What is it to you?" Brick mumbled, as he winced.
"Where's my sock?!" Butch snarled.
"Ask the hamper." Kaarii retorted. "Just be grateful that we're even doing this for you."
"Don't be idiotic." Boomer answered. "If we recall correctly, Brick saved the Powerpuff's precious leader. You should be grateful to him!"
"… Why did you save me?" Momoko asked Brick.
"Saved you?" Butch asked as though someone just said something outrageous.
"Slip of the tongue." Momoko rolled her eyes.
"It's great you're alive." Kuriko told Brick.
"… So where is she?" Brick asked.
"Who?" Momoko asked.
"The purple Powerpuff." Brick said.
"What purple Powerpuff?" Kuriko asked. "I'm pretty sure there is no color purple in the team."
"I'm talking about the Powerpuff last June." Brick said. "The one that appeared when Blossom didn't."
"I'm pretty sure that there wasn't a time that Blossom retired during June." Kuriko answered.
"Don't mock me. I know that she exists!" Brick snarled. Momoko, Miyako, and Kaoru looked at each other. Kaarii listened in the conversation.
"This Purple Powerpuff…" Momoko said slowly. "What particular weapon does she use?"
"Blossom's yo-yo…" Brick shrugged.
"And I'm telling you, no one replaced Blossom!" Kuriko argued.
"… Bliss… Right?" Kaarii asked. Kuriko looked at Kaarii, her eyes confused.
"Who's Bliss? If there was a Powerpuff named Bliss, wouldn't it be all over the news all around the world?" Takaaki asked.
"The details don't matter, Taka-chan." Miyako shook her head.
"The first fourth Powerpuff Z. Lunar Bliss." Blossom popped some jellybeans into her mouth. Amy, Josh, Luke, Kuriko and Takaaki were shocked at the knowledge of another Powerpuff, while Kaarii prepared to take in any information regarding her long term project.
"Told you she was real!" Brick grinned at his brothers. Boomer and Butch were likewise shocked.
"But… Brick said that she appeared when we fought you guys last June!" Boomer countered. "There was no Purple Powerpuff!"
"… That's the question, Boomer." Momoko sighed. "Why can Brick see Bliss? She… is… a… spirit that has taken over Blossom's body during the end of May up to the start of July, this year. No one should've seen her true form until she separated from m… Blossom's body."
"… You're saying… Bliss is… a GHOST?"
"… As we told Ba… Kaarii, we are not willing to talk about that event." Miyako said. Momoko and Kaoru noticed that she almost said Bani.
"… Back on topic. Why are you searching for Bliss?" Luke said cautiously.
"… Somehow… she seemed to have changed my point of view… I don't know, but when she caught me… she seemed so nice…" Brick mumbled. "… I wanted to see her again, but I didn't want to face the Powerpuffs in a fight. So… I researched around for her…"
"He read all sorts of Powerpuff Girl Z related material." Butch almost spat in disgust if he wasn't in the custody of the lab.
"I only read interviews and reports." Brick snarled. "I don't plan on reading Powerpuff Fashion, thank you very much."
"Get back on topic already!" Kuriko moaned.
"… Well… the thing is… I was searching for any time that the Powerpuff Girls said anything about a Purple Powerpuff."
"We've been careful, Brick." Momoko said. "… And the Powerpuffs never appeared during August, most likely because there is no reason for us to."
"Us?" Butch said, confused.
"… Never mind." Kaoru snarled at Butch.
"Hey, chill!" Boomer sighed.
"It's too obvious that you guys are the Powerpuff Z." Brick rolled his eyes.
"Looks like the three years have finally carved a brain in your head." Momoko rolled her eyes. She looked at the other eight and nodded. The girls pulled out the compacts and the boys pulled out the buckles.
Hyper Blossom!
Rolling Bubbles!
Powered Buttercup!
Feminine Bridgette!
Rushing Bullet!
Dazzling Bell!
Solar Blade!
Windy Baron!
Super Bash!
"Happy?" Blossom grinned at the three. Brick made an "I knew it" look while Butch and Boomer looked with bewilderment at the nine.
"Ok, enough chit chat." Blossom nodded. "Continue, Brick."
"… Well… I read a bit too much of your articles I guess…" Brick shrugged.
"Which turned him into goody-two-shoes." Butch shrugged. Brick shot a glare at Butch.
"Well, turning for the better, I see." Bridgette nodded. "That's good. It saves us the trouble of having to clean up your ruckus."
"What does that supposed to mean?" Boomer asked.
"It means, if you don't change soon, we may have to smack you every time you show up." Bridgette said.
"… Brick. Why did you save me?" Blossom asked.
"… Because… I saw her." Brick said. "I saw her in front of you as though she wanted to protect you… So… I protected her."
"… Your goal when you protected me was… Bliss?"
"Now that I think of it... The night we were captured… I thought it was a mirage… But… last night proved me wrong."
"Last night?" Bullet asked.
"… The night we escaped, of course." Brick nodded.
"I don't know much of the details, though." Boomer said.
"It's the same with me." Butch shrugged.
"… I guess I'm the only one who knows the whole story…" Brick sighed. "Ok. I'll tell you."
