Hello humans! As you can probably tell by the title, The Last Power Source is coming to a close. It's been a long ride; I can tell you that much T_T. Anyway, I'm sure you know the routine by now; I don't own anything but my OCs and the story around them. Enjoy!
His eyes had reformed back to their black state. "You should have run when you had the chance," he grieved.
I took a step back as the air around him visibly darkened. It was so out of the regular happy atmosphere that Bruce usually gave off that I trembled. I looked over at the door to see the girls anxiously waiting watching the encounter. I saw that Kaoru was being held back from storming over to us, but when I shook my head for her to stop and let me do this, she calmed down. I focused back on Bruce just in time to dodge his attempted lunge at me.
His irises blazed, but from this distance it looked like tears were forming in his eyes. Bruce pounced again, only to be stopped by my air powers. I made sure to carefully trap him in a tight wind sphere. He scratched at the insides, but didn't make a dent. I turned to the girls, nodding for them to go on. They filed out of the room, Momoko leading the march.
I glanced over at Bruce again, "Thanks, I don't know what's wrong with you, but you saved us, and for that I'm grateful." He didn't reply and continued his almost animalistic assault on his confinement. Though, if my eyes weren't tricking me, I could have sworn that I saw I tear trail down his face.
We snuck through the halls of our larger than expected prison. It had taken only five minutes of wondering around to figure that this wasn't the small residents of the Ruffs. The multiple rooms we had stopped in suggested that this was some sort of lab. We had to continuously take breaks for me to catch my breath. It took a lot of energy to keep a rabid Bruce trapped in the air bubble, let alone suspended in in the air so we could travel with him.
Kaoru and Momoko kept trying to persuade me to leave him behind. It was slowing us down and the noise he kept making wasn't good for our sneaking strategy. But I refused, as I always would.
I poked my head into a room. It looked like we had stumbled upon an office. The room contained a desk with a rolling chair. The walls were lined with filing cabinets, and the desk held a computer with paper scattered around it, with a red cap not too far off. Walking farther into the room I saw three picture frames on the desk.
The first frame held a picture showing the three RowdyRuff boys all together in Christmas sweaters in front of a tree. Boomer was on the far left wearing a gray sweater that read 'Merry Christmas ya filthy animals'. He seemed to be holding back a snort looking over at the Brick in the photo.
Butch was on the right, wearing a lime green sweater with a gingerbread man without a leg on it, with the text 'Bite Me' under it. He had I very similar expression to Boomer. Brick, who was in the middle, scowled at the camera. His sweater had a picture of the Grinch with puppy dog eyes. It read 'it was said that the Grinch's heart grow three sizes that day'.
The next photo was a picture of all three of them with Bruce. They looked so happy together, with Bruce getting a noggy from Butch. Boomer was looking up from a pile of scrap parts smiling. Brick seemed to be the one taking the picture 'selfie style'. The last picture seemed the most recent with only Bruce and Boomer in it. Bruce seemed to have grown a feet between the photos and now was towering over Boomer.
They were standing in front of the Ruffs house. I felt a dull recognition of the outfits they were wearing, but I pin pointed the thought when a read the scrabbled caption. 'Bruce's First Mission' put a sickening pit in my stomach.
Sitting in the picture's frame was a small flash drive labeled 'Bruce'. I glanced over at Bruce who was still hovering in the wind bubble. He watched us warily as we inspected the office space. I grabbed the flash drive, planning to give it to the professor and Ken so he could fix Bruce.
We continued our venture through seemingly endless labyrinth of halls.
And so ends the first part of the final! Hope you enjoyed! Please tell me if there were any mistakes. Miru Kimi Wa! Have a nice day!
