Next Chapter! Disclaimer: I own nothing here! But the story I made!

"Butch, are you ok?" Brick asked as he knocked on his brother's door. He heard his brother come to the door and he opened it. When he did a really pale, messy haired Butch was in the door way and he looked liked shit. "That bad, well me and Boomer will get your stuff from school so you go and rest" Brick said as he pushed Butch back to the bed. "Come on Boom, Butch can't come today" he yelled and Boomer came beside him and said bye to Butch.

When they left Butch clenched his heart as it started to burn. 'It burns so much! Feels like my insides are melting' he thought since he couldn't speak. The burning went away after a minute, this has been happening all morning and he doesn't know why. He looked out his window beside his bed and saw his brothers going to school and saw the girls walk beside them. 'When did they start walking over here with us?' he thought then held his heart again as it started to burn. 'And what is this?'

"Where's Butch?" Kaoru asked as her, Momoko, and Miyako caught up with the guys. Brick told her that he was sick and looked really bad. "Oh, what's wrong?" she asked again and Brick just shrugged.

"Don't be to upset, he's just sick today. He'll feel better tomorrow" Miyako told her in her happy tone.

"Yeah I know I just feel bad leaving him since he stayed with me all day and even stayed the night when I was sick" Kaoru said feeling she should do the same he did.

"That's were he was at that night" Boomer commented. "I wondered where he was but he never told."

"Hope there's no big trouble today so we don't have to ask Butch for help" Brick said in a hopeful tone.

"I hope there's no trouble period" Momoko said in a sigh, knowing that won't help.

When they made it to school and got in class, everyone having class together, they saw a new student in Butch's chair. They didn't see him good but when they sat in their desk, they saw it was Ace from the Gangreen gang. "Hey there" he said seeing them.

"What are you doing h…" Momoko started but Miyako pulled her away.

"Shhh, he doesn't know we are the PowerPuff Girls" she said and Momoko nodded.

"I mean, hey there. Who are you?" Momoko said sitting in her seat.

"Names Ace, nice to meet ya" he said then looked to his left and saw Kaoru "And a pleasure to meet you" he said in that flirty voice. Kaoru had a vein popping out of her head when he said that and Butch at home did to, even though he didn't know why.

"Don't talk to me like that" she said in anger and turned to look in front of her. Before Ace could say anything the teacher came in and told everyone about the new student Ace. When class started Ace wrote a note, crumbled it, and then threw it to Kaoru.

'Want to go out babe?' It said and Kaoru wrote on it and threw it back. Ace looked at it with a smile but it fell seeing that it said 'Not in a million years you green skin ass hole' and a few more stuff that I shouldn't say.

Class went on pretty quiet and when the bell rang for lunch, Ace went up to and said "Come on girl, me and you would be great together."

"No thanks, no get away from me" she said trying to keep her temper down. She walked to the others and began to eat but then Ace grabbed her and shoved her against the wall.

"Listen here, no one is gonna turn me down you here? Now I'll ask you one more time and if you say no then I'll…" but he never finished because Kaoru headbutted him and he backed off.

"Get the fuck out of my sight or I'll kick your ass to next week" she yelled and he just got close to her again. She then kicked his stomach and he fell down holding it. "Ass hole" she said then going back to the other who were all up about to help her before the headbutt. When school ended, everyone went to the boys' house to check on Butch. But they didn't notice Ace following them with his gang. He heard about Kaoru and Butch from a guy and Ace wanted a punch of the guy.

When the walked in Brick ran up to Butch's first and checked on him. Butch was lying down in bed and asleep, or it seemed like it. "Ok, he's asleep and I don't know when he will wake up" Brick said coming down. "So what do yall want to do?" he asked. They all started to watch TV and play some games they had while Kaoru went upstairs to check on Butch. She opened it quietly and saw him clenching his heart and in pain. She was about to run in there but then Butch fell back on his bed, fainting from the pain. Ace then came in and snatched Butch from the window and ran out.

"What hey" she yelled coming in and looking out the window to see Ace and his gang running to the woods with Butch in their arms. Kaoru then jumped off from the window and ran to the Gangreen gang. She ran till she saw them in a big clear area and Butch lying upside a tree. She was about to reach for her belt but then she was kicked to the center of the area. She got up and saw Snake is the one who kicked her. Kaoru quickly for her belt but Lil Arturo ran and took her belt.

"Well if it isn't Kaoru or should I say Buttercup" Ace said walking to her. "I got your old boyfriend and now you are my girl" he said grabbing her by the arm and dragging her in front of Butch. "Now watch as we kill this fool" he said as Big Billy jumped and landed on Butch, making a crater. "You see, we somehow have gotten stronger. All thanks to the voice we heard asking us if we wanted power. We agreed and we got something called Z-Mode. I love it!" Ace said as Lil Arturo ran with great speed and headbutted Butch in the gut. Snake and Grubber did a combo hit and now snake went closer to Butch and lifted him up by the collar. "You little ass" he said as he threw him in the air and shot his cards at him. They cut him deeply and the last two exploded on him. He fell down in smokes and he slowly started to regain consciousness from when he fainted in the bedroom.

He looked up to see the gang and Kaoru held by Ace. "So you're so weak that you have to attack poor, sick, and unconscious kid. That's just pathetic" he said sitting up then started to clench his heart again.

"Butch" Kaoru yelled and she tried to get out of Ace's grip but he was too strong.

"You aren't the one to say anything. I could kill you right now" Ace said coming closer then kicked Butch in the stomach. "Now, say your prayers and say good bye to Kaoru too because she is my bitch since your gone."

"What did you say about Kaoru?" Butch asked.

"She's now my Bitch! Got it?" Ace said tightening his grip on Kaoru's arm. Butch then shot up and ran to them. He then karate chopped Ace's hand and he let go of Kaoru. Butch then spun around and Kicked Ace in the face, sending flying thru 4 trees then little one tried running to him with his speed but Butch stomped on the ground and Arturo lost his balance and fell. Butch then kicked him over to Ace, who was unconscious by the tree. Billy tried to jump and tried to body slam on Butch again but Butch caught him with one hand and threw him at Snake and Grubber.

"Now don't say anything bad about Kaoru ok?" Butch said as he tried to walk off but fell to his knees and held his heart. Kaoru tried to help but then Ace got up and was surrounded by dark energy. The other members of the gang held their arms out and transferred their powers to him. Ace then ran and kicked Butch thru a tree.

"Now you're coming with me" he said grabbing Kaoru again and flying up. "If you won't be my girl, then die!" he said and let her go. She fell and before she hit the ground, Butch crawled under her and broke her fall, cracking his ribs though.

Butch then slowly got up again and yelled "You don't do that to Kaoru!" he then lifted his hand up and a dark energy blast shot from it and went thru Ace's shoulder. Ace held his shoulder and Butch yelled "Go away now or this time it'll be your heart!" Ace then flew to the gang and flew with them him his hands. Butch walked to the tree they were at and picked up Kaoru's belt and threw it to her. "Now if you excuse me, I have to faint from the pain" Butch said smiling then fell on his back.

Butch woke up on the couch and his brothers and the girls looking at him. "He's awake" Boomer said. "How ya feeling"

"Oh wonderful, like a barrel of sunshine" Butch said in sarcasm.

"He's ok" Brick said smiling. "Can you get up?"

"Yeah, I don't feel all bad now" he said getting to a sitting up right position. "I barley remember anything though" he said rubbing his head.

"You beat the Gangreen Gang. All of them in Z-Mode and even a over powered Z-Mode Ace" Kaoru said laughing. "I can't believe you beat them while being sick."

"Same here" he said as he got up "but I'm hungry now." He walked to the kitchen but then the professor came in and ran to Butch, Ken and Peach not far behind.

"How do you feel?" he asked and Butch backed away a little saying he was find. "I have to make sure, this could be something with that secret power I told you about that you have. No be still" he said as everyone came in the kitchen. "Did you feel any different or anything new happen while you fought the Gangreen Gang?" he asked.

"I barely remember it" Butch stated.

"Well he shot a dark energy from his hand at Ace and it went thru his shoulder" Kaoru said and everyone was shocked. "It looked liked it was made of his dark aura."

"Dark Aura got stronger" Peach said after he sniffed Butch. "He still doesn't smell evil though" he said as he ran to fridge and started to eat some meat they had.

"Ok, so what does this mean?" Butch asked wanting some answer.

"I don't know but it means you could be the key to fighting Him" Professor said as he got up and walked off.

"Him is back?" everyone except for Kaoru and Butch yelled. Professor nodded and they all fell over.

Butch then went over to Peach and started to pet him. "You could be the way we could beat Him. That must be cool" Kaoru said sitting at the table. Butch smiled and nodded.

"Want to play some video games?" he asked "I know you suck but I can teach you at least. I bet you'll like Black Ops." She nodded and they waked in the living room and played the game for hours. Everyone got up at 6:00 and found those two asleep on the couch, Kaoru half way on Butch's lap and his hand over her waist. Momoko couldn't resist a picture, for blackmail maybe, for later. Ken left with Peach after it and ran home.

Ken went into the new, fixed, lab and saw his dad with notes all over the table and computer. "Dad what's wrong?" Ken asked.

"I was trying to crunch numbers on how we could beat Him with Butch. But I'm afraid there is only one way…" The professor gulped "he has to give his life to save us all." Ken took a step back from shock and Peach leaned down sadden. Butch and his brothers were starting to be like family to the Professor, Ken, and Peach just like the girls. If one died then they couldn't take it. Kaoru WOULDN'T take it, she would probably be depressed for the rest of her life.

"But we have to do something, anything! We can't let him die" Ken nearly yelled.

"I can't do anything! I tried to figure something out but nothing! I hate to do this as much as you do but it's either try to save one boy or destroy the entire world. I hate this too, but I'm sorry" the Professor said looking down and crying silently. Ken and Peach did the same thing while outside the window something heard them and ran back to the city.
