Enjoy:)
~Previously on Sound of Love~
Suddenly their belts glow and started beeping loudly. Momoko quickly straightens herself up and wipes away her tears.
Time to become a hero, she thought, raising her chin up high, and heroes do not cry in time of battle.
She glance over to Miyako, who look at her belt compartment to see who were they're fighting today.
"It's...the Rowdyruff Boys." said Miyako ominously.
Momoko breaths in heavily, "Come on, Bubbles. Its time to show the boys what we do."
Miyako looks at the ground for a second before straightening herself up and nods solemnly "You're right, let's go!"
The girls ran outside of the hospital and without turning back, they both shot out into the sky, worrying about the boys they will face.
The boys look at each other and grin, they weren't even breathing hard. They made they're way into the vault.
The doors of the vault flew open as the boys simultaneously kick it open, they flew in and started loading the bags they found with money.
Once they had a few millions in bags they flew out, made they're way out the maze and shot up into the sky, making a whole in the roof as they went.
They knew it was a matter of time before the puffs arrive.
So they set their treasure on the ground and waited for the girls, each one smirking with anticipation of the upcoming fight.
~The Rowdyruff Boys and The Powerpuff Girls~
The boys stood there afloat, outside of the bank they just finish robbing. Surprisingly robbing the money from this well organize and advance vault was so easy.
(The bags full of money were beneath them as the hovered over.)
All they had to do was just lift a finger and boom! There was the money...all for them.
And why did they even do this?
They're Rowdyruff Boys! They're famous! They have money already!
For the most obvious reason...it was fun messing with people.
And because they needed to lurk in the Powerbutt Girls.
Butch twitch excitingly, he was eager to learn about his powers. He can feel it, the dark yet soft charge energy feeling, a tingle running through him.
He can feel a spark on his hand.
He clench and unclench his hands, hoping it will relieve some of the tension.
It didn't work.
Those girls better come soon, he thought dangerously. I'm eager to punch someone...someone in particular.
Then he remember what he did to Buttercup, his expression soften a bit.
Oh, right I hit her with a blast of energy...mmhmm I wonder if she's okay, oh what the hell Butch! You're not suppose to think this way! Who cares about her, anyway.
Then why do I have a small ache in my chest?
Boomer move his fingers rapidly. He could still feel the coldness between his fingers tips from before. He was zealous to relieve the tension on his finger tips. He could feel the energy as it travel down his arms and pool between his hands.
He was impatient to start the fight, he wanted to know what he can do during combat.
When are these hags coming! Ohh I just want to freeze someone...maybe that blond chick.
Boomer frown slightly, those where awful things I said to her, I broke her heart, I know I did. Oh who cares anyway its not like I love her.
What is this pain in my chest?
Brick hovers in the middle of the two. He had his red cap backwards against his hair, letting the bangs brush over his forehead. His hands form into a fist, clenching and unclenching them, repeating this act.
He could feel the heat as it travel through his body, resting on the palm of his hands. The air around him was warm as he started intensely in front of him.
Crimson eyes searching out for those girls. He couldn't wait for the fight, he can feel the adrenaline rush coursing inside of him, waiting to burst. He wanted to rip something apart, punch someone hard...burn someone...perhaps that pink girl.
Come on, you Powerbutts. Show yourself already, pinky.
As if on command, in a distant he could make out two streaks of light coming closer to them until it stop abruptly a few feet from them.
He could see the leader of this cheerleading spat, the pink puff glares at them but then rest her eyes on him. Oh how he wanted to fried her right there and then.
He stares at her pink eyes, not backing down from the challenge but as he stares another warm feeling collided with his power as it made its way toward his chest.
This new type of warmth alarm Brick.
What is this feeling?
Then pinky spoke, "Step away from those bags, boys. Its time for you to go."
Brick smirks in glee, "Really? I don't see this party ending. In fact, I see it just beginning."
Brick, came a voice in his head
He turn slightly to his brother, not letting the pink Powerpuff escape from his line of vision. What?
The green puff not here, I think I did some serious damage, then Butch laugh. What I do now? I seriously want to punch someone bro.
Brick turns his full attention to the puffs, who were waiting for them.
Just go around attacking any puff. Help me and Boom-Boom out. I have a feeling you're "girl" will be coming soon.
Then out loud he yells, "Come on, boys! Let's get 'em!"
With a cry the boys hurtle they're way toward the girls, blood lust swirl within them as the dark particles embrace it happily and laughs joyfully.
Brick threw the first punch at Blossom but she quickly dodges in time then twirls around and kicks Brick on his side, sending him flying toward the brick building.
He collides against the apartments, Oh wanna play rough, he thought dangerously wiping a small drop of blood from his mouth. You're gonna get rough, girl.
With a growl he launches back toward her, fake punch her as she dodge the bait, Brick, then with his other hand, summons a ball of energy. The orange-red ball hurling to the Puff.
Blossom eyes widen as the strange ball hits her, she lets out a scream and quickly flies the other direction, as far as possible from the Ruff.
The ball fill her entire body with fire, she felt like she just touch the wrong end of her straightener. Yet Brick came rushing back, and kick her in the stomach, sending her trembling a few feet down toward the ground.
Boomer calls into his power, raising his arm he send thousands of small pointy icicles at Bubble's direction. Bubbles, eyes narrow at her count-partner, raise her bubble staff, creating a protective shield over herself.
The icicles drop instantly at the touch of the shield but Boomer was right behind them. He pass though the invisible barrier easily and kick Bubbles. Bubbles lets out a yelp and drops her staff.
Blossom and Bubbles quickly reunited, "Gods, they're stronger than us! What do we do?" said Bubbles, breathing heavily, clutching her staff that she manage to recover.
Blossom gasps for breath, holding her side, "I don't know but we need Buttercup!"
Bubbles slowly shakes her head, eying each Ruff, "They're just to...strong...to powerful."
Blossom frowns, "I'm not giving up just yet."
She takes out her yo-yo, and spin it furiously.
Brick lowers his glaze slightly, smirking, challenging the Puff.
With a cry Blossom races toward him, single focusing on the boy she use to know...who she use to love...and who now is her enemy.
"Take this, Ruff!" she yells and releases her yo-yo with all her might and with all her frustration. Brick watches, fascinated by the spinning object, his smirk never leaving his face.
He catches the weapon automatically but the force was to great that it threw him off balance and sending him crashing very hard to the metal bars of a building in construction.
The blow was hard, Brick felt a few bones crack, his sight became double and blurry. He gasps to breathe, arms lock around the poles for support.
The Puff really let him have it.
He slowly, struggling, ascends on top of one of the pole. He slides down, still in daze and closes his eyes. Suddenly multi-seconds later, flashbacks came to him so sudden that it cause him a tremendous headache.
"I love you Momoko, I love you so much."
Momoko, beside him, giggles, hugging him closely as they watch the stars up above.
"I love you too, Toshiaki. I really do."
He grabs her hand and kisses it lightly, Momoko smiles and slowly leans into him.
Lips capture one another into a passionate kiss, Toshiaki have never felt this warmth before. Since his parents died, he have to take on the responsibilities as the oldest.
There was never any time that he could just rest and think about himself, about what he needs. After they're died, he felt-and sworn- that he will never be happy as he once was.
But he was deadly wrong.
Momoko is the best thing that have happen to him since that dreadful rainy day.
She made him realize that love is still out there, that you can be happy once again even when you thought you're life is fallen apart and you have gone straight to hell. Oh, how he loves her.
Loves her so, so much that he hopes once he tells his secret she will accept him fully and perhaps one day be wed.
And one day have kids...and a home... and a life together.
They broke the kiss and snuggle closer to one another, hands still connected tightly as if they were afraid that someone will ruin this moment from them forever.
"Brick! Brick! Brick, wake up dude!" cried Boomer, gently moving his brother. Brick growls and opens his eyes. "Oh thank gods you're okay!"
"That Puff really did a number to you, huh?" said Butch, behind Boomer, folding his hands on his chest. Brick shakes his head slightly, causing him to moan and clutch his head in pain.
His head wasn't the only thing aching...it was his heart too. He felt he couldn't breathe, the pressure in his chest was to much...it almost made him wanna just lay down and cry. But then, abruptly, as that aching feeling came...it left...and was replace with anger.
Lots of anger.
Brick lets go of his head, he stares at the yo-yo in his hand and clutches it tightly. "Move." he command aggressively that his brothers can feel the negative energy leaping off of him. They were scared of him, and he felt it but did not care.
They scramble out of his path as he got up and walk to the poles edge. Boomer and Butch could only stared, eyes widen in horror as both dark and red aura came visible around Brick.
Brick turns back to this brothers, and they're breathe stop in mid throat, his eyes were glowing crimson...like blood.
"What you guys waiting for? A written invitation? Let's go!"
Then he took of into the sky, leaving a red trail that faded away slowly.
Both brothers stared in awe at they're older brother then stare at each other.
"Whoa."
Butch nods, "Whoa indeed. Come on, before he gets even more piss." Then they both took off after they're brother, leaving a trail of green and blue that quickly faded.
Bubbles stares at Blossom in awe, "Blossom...you okay?"
Blossom was still in the same position when she release her yo-yo in fury, she hadn't meant it to go that rough upon Brick.
She didn't even know what was happening until she saw the mini explosion over the construction site...about a good two block away from where they are. She felt that her cheeks are wet and yet, somehow, her brain couldn't process why is was.
Why was she crying about?
Why was she so angry?
Toshiaki
Oh how she miss him, not Brick, but him. She loves him still and it pain her to see this come in between them. They have promise, promise that nothing will ever get in between their love for one another.
And look, look where they're at now.
Both fighting each other, both hurting each other...and only one who is broken hearted.
Toshiaki raise his eyes to Momoko, "Look I'm sorry I didn't mean that to happen all of a sudden. I'm stupid I know, a jerk, a-"
"Stop. You're not any of those things. Your sweet, and kind, and gentle." She said stepping closer to him and into a embrace.
"And you're just everything I can ever dream about."
He smiles at her, placing his hand on her chin, "I will always be there, Momoko. Always."
She smile and embrace him once more, knowing that nobody can take away Toshiaki from her.
He was sure, as his heart skip a beat at her touch,
that he was utterly in love with Momoko Akatsutsumi.
Momoko smiles, she will have Toshiaki with her, forever.
"Blossom? Hey, Momoko...look at me." Bubbles said gently. Blossom/Momoko was trembling, tears pour like waterfalls. "No its not...its not" she choke out.
"Shhhh" Bubbles whispers, hugging the trembling girl. "Can you fight?"
However, Blossom didn't get to answer. She was violently rip off fromher friend's embrace and directly hits a light post. She gasps as her back connects against the pole and slips down a bit. She shakes her head and looks up.
Hovering above her was Brick, but he didn't look like the boy she threw her weapon at.
Oh, no, he look must worse and sinister than that Ruff. His eyes are glowing crimson red, the aura around him was a combination of black-purple and red. He was shaking as he floated there, staring at her...and Blossom was pretty sure he wasn't shaking for the same reason she was.
To tell you the truth...she never been so terrified of anyone until this very moment as she stares at the Ruff.
"Looking for this, Puff!" yells Brick, arm straighten out, holding out her yo-yo. "I believe you threw this at me," he continued.
Blossom stares at her yo-yo for a while then slowly regains her composure and honor. She hovers closer to Brick, chin up high in determination she responds; "Yeah that's mine, the thing that knock you out and the thing in which I will defeat you."
Brick grins, "Is that so? Well then you probably want this back, huh?"
He throw the yo-yo at her direction, she caught it with no problem.
Brick slowly straightens his arms out, leaving his chest open. "Well? Give it you're best shot, pinky."
She growls and twirls her yo-yo once again but a cry broke her concentration. She looks at the source and gasps.
Bubbles was surrounded by both Ruffs. Butch had her staff in hand while Boomer touch Miyako sending her to yelp and occasionally scream.
"W-what? Hey! Hey that's not fair! Bubbles shouldn't be fight two of you! Hey! That's not right!" she yells at them then turns back to Brick.
Brick shrugs, " They do what they want...and nothing is gonna stop them."
Blossom narrows her eyes, "Maybe... but I will stop they're leader!"
She twirls once again her yo-yo, "Shooting Yo-Yo!"
The yo-yo sends out a pink energy ball, Blossom was sure this time she got him but she was shock when her pink energy met with a red ball.
It cause a mini explosion and as the remaining smoke clear out, Brick was there smirking at her, "What, that's it? I expected more from you since you're first blast knock me out, pinky."
Blossom breathes heavily not bothering to answer the Ruff.
"Alright then...it's my turn."
He raises his hands toward her and Blossom raises her chin...bring it, Ruff.
"Hard Brick!"
Shooting out of his hands was a big red energy ball the size of a watermelon. It hurled toward the awaiting Puff, Blossom grits her teeth, she raises her yo-yo. "Cherry Block," she whispers and a pink shield close in on her.
The flaming red ball came in closer and made contact with Blossom's shield.
Even though she had the extra protection, she could still feel the heat from the blast. It was as if it was summer all over again...98 degrees hot. As the blow wear off, so did her defense. She looks up to the Ruff and smiles, "I'm full of surprises, Toshiaki. Don't think I'm that easy."
Brick narrows his eyes, jaw lock tightly. "Fine then, hag. Let's see how much you can take," he said sinisterly. "And don't ever call me that again."
Blossom was taken back by his tone, but she found that her own eyes narrow in anticipation. "Bring all you got, Ruff."
~Hospital: Kaoru's Room~
When Kaoru came out of her sleep for good, she found the doctor sitting quietly next to her. "Oh, Buttercup you alright, sweetie?" he said politely and quietly which Kaoru was glad about. Her head was pounding and she felt a bit dizzy. "Uhhh...what happen?"
"Well from what you're peers said you have a fight. One of your ribs was crack and you had first and second degree burns, but that was it. You look completely heal, though so I believe you will be find."
Kaoru nods, "Thank you, uhhh... i-is Blossom and Bubbles here?"
The doctor shakes his head, "Afraid not, my dear. They had to leave in a hurry, I suppose off to some sort crime happening right now."
Then he stood up, "I'll be back to check on you more thoroughly. Rest for now, Buttercup."
She nods and waits until his footsteps faded out to the distance before pull off the covers and swing her legs over the edge. "Fat chance I'm gonna wait here while those two are having fun." she murmurs.
She slowly got down from the bed, holding the edge for support. Her vision became a bit foggy and she felt a bit vertigo. It took three full minutes for her vision to clear and the feeling of vomiting right there and then faded.
She compose herself and made her way to the bathroom. She notice that she was wearing a hospital gown, her undershirt and mini shorts was the only clothing she had underneath it. Growling, Kaoru looks around for her suit.
Surprisingly it was there, hanging neatly to the bars next to the sink. She smiles, "Yes." She quickly takes off the gown and throws it to the ground beneath her. She grab her PPG's shirt and jacket, putting them on quickly and grabs her skirt.
"Stupid...skirt..." she curse at the uniform, "Arrhhg! Why can't we wear pants for god's sake!"
Finally she adjusted her shirt and carefully grabs her PPG belt. She place it around her waist and takes out the compartment.
"Come on, where are Momoko and Miyako?" she asks it as if it'll were alive and show her directly. When it didn't work, Kaoru curses and runs out the bathroom and out her hospital room.
"Hey! Get back to you're room" cried one of the nurses that Kaoru knock out of her way, apparently the nurse was heading over to her room to check on her.
Well you see now, I'm perfectly fine! she thought as she flew by. She ran full speed around the hallway, searching for the exit.
"...Tokyo's City Bank had just been reported rob not to long ago. As you can see two of the Powerpuff Girls are battling the thieves."
Kaoru stop suddenly, her eyes widen as she stares at the TV. She moves in closer to get a better view. The camera shows Blossom throwing her yo-yo at one of the thieves.
"We do not know who exactly the Puffs are fighting with, we been only confirmed that they're three suspects."
The camera zooms in closer at the Bubbles, fighting off two boys. This time the camera was able to manage to see who Bubbles was fighting with.
"Oh it looks like its three young boys...no, wait it looks like the famous band; the Rowdyruff Boys! This cannot be possible! The boys look like the Rowdyruffs!"
Kaoru gasps then curses, "Damn the Ruffs. I have to go help them!" She twirls back around towards the exit, ignoring the reporter.
"Its been confirm that those boys who the Puffs are fighting might be the Rowdyruff Boys! Brick, Butch, and Boomer!"
The scream not shows to the right a picture of the famous Ruff and to the left the Ruffs who want to cause harm...and possible are out to kill.
And that was it, hopefully you like it and hopefully it wasn't to OCC and violent. Let me know, alright.
