Butch's POV:
"Daddy, are we going to die?" Lucas asked. He looked at me with fear in his eyes, and I was scared as much as he is right now. But I did not want him to know that, I know what HIM is capable of in that form of his, and I do not want to scare my son than he already is.
"No, we are not going to die I promise." I rubbed his head and he leaned in on my head.
"What are we going to do now?" Boomer asked.
"I wish I knew the answer to that." Brick replied.
"THE LONGER YOU HIDE THE MORE PISSED OFF I GET!" HIM screamed and we heard more crashing noise from outside. I've never seen HIM this angry before!
"We have to do something! He's going to destroy this city and everything else on Earth! We can't just wait around here!" Bubbles yelled.
"I know, but we can't just rush out there without a plan. We can't have HIM get to Lucas, like he did with Buttercup and we don't know for sure if Lucas will come back like she did! We need to be smart about this!" Boomer fired back.
"I understand that! But, at what caused will there be if Lucas won't have a home if everything is destroyed!" Bubbles yelled.
"Bubbles is right, we can't just stand around here twiddling with our thumbs. A lot of innocent people are going to get killed, the longer we hide." Blossom said.
"You have a point, Bloss." Brick said.
"But, how are we going to make sure that Lucas is safe?" Boomer asked.
"How strong is the barrier?" Buttercup asked us.
"It's only strong if one of us is here to hold it, why?" Boomer asked.
"While I go to face HIM, one of you boys stay with dad and Lucas to hold the barrier. That way I can distract HIM and you guys will have time to figure out a plan." Buttercup said. There is no way in hell I'm going to let her go out there and face HIM by herself! There is no telling what he will do to her!
"Buttercup you can't-"
"I'll go with her." Blossom volunteered.
We all looked at her in shock. Blossom never faces danger, she usually always the one to stand back or do the planning.
What made her change suddenly?
"I know this is a big shock, but after all the things I've committed. I still haven't redeemed myself and I want to finally help my sister out, like I should have done years ago." Blossom explained.
I can see how guilty she feels after doing all of this to Buttercup, but deep down I still don't trust her enough to leave her with Buttercup alone, since she traded Lucas, but at the same time I have no room to talk either when I abused Buttercup.
Whatever Buttercup decision is, I'll try to support it...no matter how insanely reckless this is.
"I don't think that's a good idea. You have no idea what HIM is truly capable of." Brick told Blossom. Trying to change her mind.
"I get it, but we need you boys to hold down the barrier and figure out a strategy, so Buttercup and I can distract HIM, and take Lucas out of here." Blossom said.
"Blossom, HIM is someone that none of us can handle. I don't want you to get killed. I've seen how he works when I was trapped in Hell with him," Buttercup explained.
Even though Buttercup needs help, I can tell she doesn't want any of us to be involved. She was always the one looking out for us, but we never done anything to return the favor.
"I know, Buttercup. You've always been the one looking out for Bubbles and I, but I never repaid you for those times...you were more of the big sister than I ever was. That's why I'm going to take that role off your shoulders, like I should of done. Let me do this...I beg of you." Blossom pleaded.
We all looked at Buttercup for an answer and we can tell she did not want to make that drastic decision. But, she can see how Blossom is determined to risk her own life for her and Lucas.
"Okay."
"You're seriously going to let her-" Buttercup looked at Brick and he kept his mouth shut.
"Listen Brick, I get you don't want your mate to go out there, but we don't have time for this. Now, which one of you boys is going coming with us?" Buttercup asked.
"I will." Boomer volunteered.
"Boomer?" Bubbles asked in shocked.
"I'm the fastest out of my brothers, I'll be able to help out. Butch, you're still unable to fight so it's best if you help Brick with the barrier. Sorry, but you will only slow us down." Boomer said.
I never thought my little brother, would be more of leader than Brick with this situation.
I guess Brick and I were wrong about him the whole time.
"I understand." I said.
"Be careful guys," Lucas said.
"We will son. I love you." Buttercup hugged him.
"I love you too, mommy..." Lucas shed tears, as he saw them running out.
'I hope they make it back here alive...'
Bubbles POV:
'Never would of though Blossom will finally set up.'
I always remembered, Blossom would always keep her distance from Buttercup, especially when she gets in trouble. For her to do all of this to her and Lucas, shows that she is willing to change. I'm so proud of her. I wish I can help them, but I'm too scared that I will only get in their way.
"You want to help them, do you?" Dad asked.
"How can you tell?"
"I know you and you couldn't stop looking at the doorway. I understand, it's scare to face HIM and to feel like you're just going to get in the way, but if are willing to help them. You should do it." Dad said.
I was always the scared little girl, who always stay put and never spoken up, but I want to show everyone that I'm not the same as I used to be anymore.
"Thanks dad." I hugged him and I ran after my the others.
HIM's POV:
"COME OUT!" I shouted and knocked more trees over.
Where the fuck are those cowards?! They dare to make a fool out of me at my own kingdom! I'll make those fucking cunts pay! I kept destroying everything in my path, until I saw their home and I smirked.
"If they are not going to show up! I'll make them come out myself!" I stomped over to their mansion, but I noticed there is a barrier around the entire place.
'They honestly believe a weak little barrier is going to stop me! How laughable!"
I used my fist to hit the barrier, but it pulled me back with a powerful force, causing me to crash into a landslide.
'It seems the boys has gotten stronger over the years...and smarter.' I thought and got back up, I was getting ready to charge at it, but then an electrical current was shot on my back causing me to scream.
"WHO DARES TO CHALLENGE ME?!" I looked around and nobody was in my range.
I turned back around and I felt something knock me over to the other side of the forest, far away from the mansion.
"WHOEVER IS DOING THIS, COME OUT RIGHT NOW AND FACE ME!" I commanded and started to lose my patience, until I saw ice coming towards me landing on my face.
"Nice face."
I melted the ice and Buttercup quickly kicked me in the face, sending me backwards on my back.
"YOU BITCH!"
"Can't handle a female HIM. How disappointing." Buttercup mocked.
"Maybe that's why none of your whores ever stayed with you." Boomer smirked. They landed next to each other and I grew even more in raged.
"YOU THREE ARE GOING TO PAY FOR THAT!"
"You see, he didn't even denied it." They laughed and I was about to crush them, but a sonic scream blasted in my ears and I wailed in pain.
"Don't forget about me."
I saw Bubbles and she kept screaming in my direction and I ended up on my knees, because my ears were bleeding and in pain.
"You cunts are going to wish you never dare to face me!" I used my powers and the entire sky turned blood red, and I summoned my minions.
"If you want to play, then let the games begin!"
Brick's POV:
As I was helping Butch with the barrier, John came rushing towards us with Lucas in his arms.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
I saw Lucas looked even more terrified than he did earlier and John looked pale.
"Look outside."
John gave me his binoculars and I placed them between the blinds, and I saw the sky turned red and I've noticed HIM's minions appeared.
"Oh no...Butch." I gave him the binoculars and he looked surprised and terrified too.
"What do we do now? The four of them can't handle it on their own! There's too many of them!" Butch declared.
"You two have to help them! Or they will die!" John begged us.
"I'll go and help-"
"No Butch, I'll go. You need to stay and keep the barrier up! And let me remind you, you're still injured so if you go out there you'll be dead, before you could even reach them!" I told him.
I know it was harsh for me to say that, but I can't have my own brother die in my watch...he still needs to heal his wounds.
"But, Brick-"
"No buts! Stay here!" I demanded and ran out to help the others.
Butch's POV:
I watched Brick ran out to help the others and I started to get frustrated with myself. I hate feeling useless! I should be out there helping them! Not standing around!
"I'm sorry Butch, I wish there was something I can do." John apologized.
"It's not your fault. I just hate feeling useless, that I can't even go out there and help them. HIM is a lot of things, but he never loses a battle...ever." I explained to him.
'I can't stand by and watch them fight this battle on their own! What can I do?!' I thought, getting more aggravated at myself.
"You can go out there and help fight for you loved ones." A woman's voice told me.
It was the same voice from before, while I was still unconscious.
"You're back? But I thought-"
"No time, you have to help them defeat HIM. They won't be able to do it alone; I'll take care of Lucas and John. Please you have to help them!" She begged me.
"I can't, I'm still healing."
Suddenly, I felt my muscle and bones healed and my full strength came back to me.
"What did you just-"
"No time just go! I'll hold the barrier!"
I started moving my body and it felt a whole lot better, and I was so relieved.
"I'm all healed!"
"That's amazing, but you still can't go since I can't control the barrier." John said. But, the barrier started glowing yellow and when a demon tried to get through, it instantly turned him to dust.
Whoa.
"I have to go and help them. The barrier will be fine, just stay in here and make sure the two of you stay hidden, and don't come out no matter what happens. Got it?" I asked John.
"Got it." I was about to leave, but Lucas grabbed my sleeve.
"Yes, son?"
"I love you daddy...please be careful."
"I love you too and I'll be back I promise." I kissed his forehead and ran outside to help the others.
'I hope that I'm not too late.'
