"Powerpuffs!" "Powerpuffs!" "Powerpuffs!
The sheer anticipation and excitement of the crowd beyond the curtains wouldn't make her feel even more guilty about what they were about to do.
"Alright girls, remember not to give it your best just yet okay? We aren't close enough to them yet so-"
"Yeah Bloss,we get. Don't overdo it and certainly don't enjoy yourself. We've heard this spiel already. Can we go now?"
"Like we could actually enjoy let alone live with ourselves for doing this anyway."
The snarky remark from Buttercup and the self-depricating mumble from Bubbles had her pause,biting the inside of her cheek and sighing softly.
"Butters,you know that's not completely what I meant,and Bubbs,we just...just have to do this a few more times,get the boys and our gems back and we'll be gone from here for good this time. Just please hang on for a little longer,the both of you?"
Bubbles hesitated for a minute or two,guilt still clearly eating away at her,before finally giving in to her reassurances.
Buttercup on the other hand,stood with her arms crossed stubbornly,scowl present on her face. Taking a step towards her raven haired sister and gently grabbing her shoulders,she gave her a pleading look,Bubbles' puppy dog eyes on full display for Buttercup to witness, causing her to sigh resignedly,her arms dropping to her sides in defeat.
"Let's just get this over with."
Blossom sighed in relief and turned towards both sisters with a small smile.
"Well,there isn't really such a thing as too much fun now is there?"
There was a certain underlying tone to her voice,a certain glint in her eyes that she saw in her sisters eyes as well as she said that. The smirks/smiles on their faces said it all.
"We shan't keep our fans waiting,now can we?"
Blindsided by the beat,
Clapping your hands, stomping your feet
The beat of the song pulsed in her ears,or was that her heart? Didn't matter. What did matter,was the sound of their voices,alluring and silky,the movement of their bodies,the sways and twirls in perfect sync,keeping the hundreds of dilated pupils on them,and them only.
Listen to the sound of my voice
Even in all her years stuck in this damn dimension,this right here kept her going and sane,well as sane as someone like her could get anyway.
Soon you'll find you don't have a choice
Being up here,in her element with her sisters at either side of her with manic grins that matched her own,alive could only begin to describe what she felt.
She knew she should've felt something other than satisfaction as they dropped like flies,but could you blame her? This was what she and her sisters were born to do and she'd be damned if she let herself feel such insipid of an emotion as remorse now of all times.
The bounce to all their steps did not go unnoticed by her,as well as the slight mist in the air around the people,only causing the grin on her face to take a slightly sadistic edge to it. Her sisters psychotic and manic grins did not escape her sights either. This next part she knew they all loved.
We say 'jump' you say 'how high?'
They were halfway through the song,and only half of the people there had dropped,usually they'd be farther along with the collection than this.
They were getting weaker.
She frowned.
'Just a few more.'
Patience was not in her nature,and usually she'd revell in dragging this out for longer than necessary,but clearly said years were starting to catch up to them,their movements slower and their voices hoarser than normal on stage and the number of victims dwindling slowly but surely. They needed their gems,and soon.
'Come on,just a few more.'
They only had 25 left to go,and the song only had one more chorus. If they didn't do something bigger now,they wouldn't complete their task,and she had an idea of what would happen to them if they didn't collect everyone that had obeyed.
Put you hands up to the sky
Her sisters must've had the same idea of what was happening,because they all sang the lyrics out even louder,and pumping their bodies harder, causing over a dozen people to drop at the same time,mist swirling in waves,relieving the girls.
Oh-whoa-oh-whoa
You didn't know that you fell
They dropped even faster,the last one for the first time dropping before the the song had even ended, their lifeless eyes still trained on the girls,like all the others.
Oh-whoa-oh-whoa
They finally began to recieve their reward. Every new pump of a person's soul had her posture straighter,her hair at it's shiniest,her eyes glowing an even brighter pink,her senses sharper and her powers almost at their highest.
She didn't even have to look at her sisters to see the results of their regeneration,they were always more or less the same everytime they'd done this,but she did anyway,and seeing them both at almost their best gave her joy,until she gazed upon the sole reason as to why they were only almost at their best.
They stood in the back,tense as ever,black magic swirling around them in bridle waves,the prospect at gaining control of such powerful beings keeping it patient as always.
Of course, much to the disdain and annoyance of the girls,it never worked,but the glint on each of the boys wrists kept them from giving up.
But something seemed...off.
It was clear the tension was there,but it seemed as though it weren't dircted towards the magic but rather... towards each other.
The smirk that had been forming on her face burst into a borderline insane grin. It suddenly hit her now that as much as she was weakening,Brick was too. As much as the Puffs were weakening,the Ruffs were too.
She could see even from here the cracks in their armour beginning to form as they continued to snarl and growl at each other,but she had to stop that from happening for now.
Brick and his brothers had kept her and her sisters from leaving this accursed dimension for eons,and she felt some sort of torturous punishment was overdue for these three mean boys.
Now that your under our spell
They would be leaving this place soon enough,and no one was going to stop them.
What sounded to like innocent and gentle laughter to any outside person were,in truth, three not so human sadistic and manical cackles.
A/N: Hey guys! So I'd randomly listened to this song and thought 'hey, I could write something about this' and so here we are. I know I said I likely wouldn't be updating Something different anytime soon due to school,(Which is still true)I needed a break from studying. Hope you all enjoyed this and I'll see you all in the next story.
