Last time, on the Powerpuff League, we witnessed the capturing of Bubbles and Buttercup by Bane. Blossom, left weakened, was taking back by Professor Utonium. She wondered why Bane didn't take her along. In the meantime, the Rowdyruff Boys have awakened once more. This time, Boomer and Butch are separated from their brother Brick. Brick, who is with Mike Believe, witnesses the transformation of Mike into a Powerpuff/Rowdyruff. However, Brick faces Tiger, supposively a fragment of Mike's imagination. What will happen next? Let's go find out.

Episode Four: New Allies
"I dunno 'bout you, man, but I'm gonna find my brother, Pops," Boomer said to Mojo. Butch was standing right next to Boomer. Mojo was in front of them. Princess was behind Mojo all frowning and angry. Boomer turns to Butch, "C'mon, bro, let's find Brick!"
"You betcha!" Butch said.
Without another word, the two Rowdyruff Boys flew into the air leaving behind streaks of dark blue and dark green.
"BE CAREFUL!!!" Mojo yells. He turns his head to look at Princess who is still frowning. "What are you, Princess Morebucks, frowning about? It is your frown that is annoying me, which I don't not like being annoyed, so if you'll stop frowning, I won't be annoyed. Being annoyed is something I, Mojo Jojo, do not like."
"Yeah, whatever, monkey breath. Just shut up!" Princess said. "Let me explain why I am so mad at you." Princess Morebucks takes in a deep breath. "Number one, you destroyed my room. Number two, you brought two strangers here and ignored me. Number three, there's monsters out in the town and they could very well kill us. Number four, the hole you've made in the roof is flooding my room with snow. Number five, my too-too is freezing!"

Blossom hovered down the stairs in the Utonium residence slowly. She was thinking about the battle between her and Bane. Bane had too much of the upperhand. She knew that even with Bubbles and Buttercup helping her, Bane still wouldn't be defeated. Blossom sighed. She looked around hoping that Bubbles or Buttercup escaped and went back to their house. Obviously, it didn't happen. Blossom went over by the couch and sat down. She began to wonder how she can stop Bane.
"Blossom!" a voice called from out of sight. Blossom turned around. It was the Professor.
"What is it, Professor?" Blossom asked.
"Blossom, I have a plan that might let us save your sisters. Just stall a little bit longer," the Professor said.
"Professor, what are you and I going to do?" Blossom asked.
The Professor smiled and placed a hand on Blossom's back. "Listen, honey. Right now, I want you to finish off those monsters menacing Townsville. In the meantime, I'll conduct all my research into making the formula to make you stronger, Blossom. Before, I couldn't go as fast since I was also working on Bubbles and Buttercup's part. But what's the point on working for them right now when they're not here, right?" the Professor sounded like the knew everything. "So, what I'm planning to do is, as soon as I get the formula, I'll page you." Blossom receives a pager from the Professor. "Then, you instantly come home and I'll buff you up a bit."
Blossom seemed to get the idea. Blossom continues for the Professor, "And then, I go and save my sisters. While I'm gone, you work on Bubbles and Buttercup's formulas. After I get them out, you increase their powers, and then we'll be able to beat Bane!"
Professor Utonium smiles and pats Blossom. "Oughta girl!" the Professor said. "Now, go save Townsville from those beasts!"
Blossom nods. She flies out leaving a pink streak. The Professor's face immediately stiffs up and goes directly to the lab.

Brick unleashes an optic blast at Tiger. Tiger is hit by the optic blast and is shot back a few feet. Tiger quickly recovers and pounches at Brick with flames surrounding him. Mike watches in fear of what Tiger may do. "Tiger! Stop!" Mike said. Tiger, hearing Mike call him, immediately stops. Brick, however, takes this as an advantage to thrash Tiger around. Tiger is sent flying back and falls straight on his back. Tiger quickly recovers and goes into a guard position (uh... at least, a fox's guard position). Tiger's flames around him quickly change into hovering rocks. The rocks surround Tiger acting like a shield.
"Whoa! Cool!" Mike said awing at Tiger's ability.
Brick charges at Tiger which quickly responds by bring the rocks closed together. The packed rocks ricochet Brick's punches and kicks. Tiger lets out a roar and the rocks go bursting into Brick's face sending him back a bit. Brick quickly counters with a few punches. The rocks break this time with Brick's tremendous power. Suddenly, Tiger lets out a scream. Tiger changes from his usual shade of red brown to a transparent blue. Brick goes through Tiger and comes out all wet. Tiger turns around. Its body looks like it is part liquid.
"What in the world?" Brick said. He put himself into a guard stance.
"Oh! I know!" Mike yelled. "Tiger, Brick, stop fighting!"
Tiger returned back to his normal shade of color. It hops back to Mike's shoulder. Brick lets go of his guard position. "What is it you know, kid?" Brick said.
"Just call me Mike, or Mikey, or Michael. Just don't refer to me indirectly!" Mike said a little annoyed. He went back into a calm state. "Tiger was my imaginary friend before this. I think it was the liquid that fell on me that gave me the power to make him real."
Brick looked at Mike like Brick was being taunted.
"Anyways, Tiger, in my imagination, can change into various elements. Now, he can do that, too! In the real world!" Mike said. "It's all clear now!"
Brick released his rage and eased up. He let out a smile. "So, what your saying is your imagination is real now?"
Mike nodded. "Must have been the liquid that made it real."
Brick walked over to the red liquid on the ground. "Mike, this is Chemical X or some form of it," Brick said after taking a moment to examine it. "Mojo must have tried to make me with the real deal," Brick said. "But, something's fishy... I don't ever recall having knowledge of Chemical X or stuff." Brick took off his hat to scratch his head. He held onto his cap at the edge of his body. "Mojo musta programmed some information into me."
Mike walked over to Brick. "Brick, sir, I have a question, what is 'Chemical X'?"
"Chemical X, Mike, is what was used to make the Powerpuff Girls. However, what Mojo made here is a bit different although similar. Whoa! More information I never knew about!" Brick said amazed at himself.
Mike walked over to the water edge. He looked down and sighed. Suddenly, something caught his attention. He noticed that his face changed. He already knew his arms and legs have changed but his face also changed. "Aaahhh!" Mike screamed. Tiger jumped off of Mike's shoulder while Brick came running by.
"What's the matter?" Brick asked.
"M-my reflection!" Mike said pointing at the water. "Is my face, really... what... it is... right now?"
"Uh oh," Brick said. "Mike, your face changed ever since I saw you make contact with the liquid."

Princess was loading missiles into a few small cannons. Mojo watched her do so. "What are you doing? You are doing something which I don't comprehend so therefore, you must tell me so I, Mojo Jojo, may understand," Mojo asked.
Princess looked at Mojo as if he were an idiot. "I'm placing in more lead, you poo-poo brain!" the Princess answered rashly.
"Why?" Mojo quickly asked.
"Look, I'm gonna go out there and stop that stupid wolf from freezing my butt to death!" Princess said pointing at the IceWolf who is breaking a few buildings.
The Princess presses a button on her golden yellow Powerpuff Girl uniform and controls stick out. She holds onto the controls and she rockets off into the air leaving a yellow streak. "See ya, monkey breath!"
Mojo looks around. "CURSES!!!"
* * *
Mike was sitting on the edge of the water while Brick was looking around at the city. "Man," Brick said breaking the silence, "this place is a dump now!" Without warning, the Titan approached the two boys. "What the?" Brick said looking at the huge Titan.
"That's ONE of the monsters threatening Townsville!" Mike said pointing at it.
"Well, it's about to THREATEN us!" Brick yelled. The Titan raised its foot as to crush the two boys. Tiger jumped onto Mike's shoulder. Brick flew out of the way while Mike started running for it. Mike suddenly lifted up into the air and started flying leaving an orange streak behind him. "Whoa! You could fly!" Brick said looking at Mike. "But that's not what's matter now. We should focus on big bozo over here!"
Brick flew at the Titan. He landed a punch straight in the Titan's nose. The Titan falls onto its back crashing a few buildings.
* * *
The Mayor and Ms. Bellum are watching from a distance. "No! I haven't got that insured yet!" the Mayor yells.
"I told you so," Ms. Bellum replies.
* * *
Tiger jumps off Mike's shoulder into the air. It suddenly becomes transparent although you could still see an outline of it. "That's it! Tiger, transform into the air element!" Mike yells to Tiger. Tiger flies straight at the Titan. It dips its head backwards and then unloads a large breath that sent the Titan flying into the air.
Brick flies into the direction of the Titan. He lands on the Titan's face and mercilessly pounds the Titan. Brick eventually flies up and shoots an optic blast at the Titan sending it down to the ground much faster. The titan bursts into flames from the optic blast. Tiger, who flies by, transforms into an ice element making itself light blue. It freezes the Titan in a large block of ice like Blossom had with the ThunderSnake.
* * *
Bane watches from HIM's old monitor the battle between the Titan and the two boys. He frowns as he watches. "There are more beings now with such power," Bane said to himself. He looks over his shoulder. There are Bubbles and Buttercup. Bubbles is surrounded by a large force field placed up by Bane and the same goes for Buttercup. They are both awake but are too weak to respond. "I'll just crop their powers. I shouldn't worry. All I have to do is keep them alive and their powers will grow back," Bane said. He glances back at the monitor. It is showing the trapped Titan. "But some more power wouldn't hurt now," Bane said. He teleports out of his lair.
Bubbles notices that Bane is gone. "Buttercup, sister, you okay?" Bubbles calls Buttercup.
"Mmmm..." was all Buttercup responded with. She looked wasted. Bubbles glances at the cut in Buttercup's stomach. The cut was gone!
"Buttercup! What happened to your cut!?" Bubbles calls out.
Buttercup looks at the area supposively with her cut. "I dunno. I guess that Bane guy probably healed me. Check yours," Buttercup said while feeling her stomach.
Bubbles checked her back. The "cut" was gone, too. "Yep, same 'ere. Buttercup, let's break out!"
Buttercup moaned. "I'm too tired to do a thing..."
* * *
Bane appeared next to the big block of ice containing the frozen Titan. Bane looked up at Brick, Mike, and Tiger. "I better not mess with those three, yet," Bane said to himself. "They're too powerful altogether. But I'll take the Titan for now." Bane then focused his attention on the Titan. He takes out his swallow and enlarges it to normal size. Hit bursts into flames and he slices through the ice. The Titan is then freed. It comes out with a loud roar.
Brick, Mike, and Tiger immediately turn to see what's going on. "Wha-?" they all said at the same time excluding Tiger. They're surprised to see the Titan.
Bane flies into the Titan and stabs the Titan in the back. The Titan yells in pain as the Bane drains its power. "This one, I'll take its life!" Bane said outloud. The Titan's lifeforce was sucked out into Bane along with all its power. The Titan slumps to the ground dead. Bane was then revealed to Brick, Mike, and Tiger.
"Whoa! Thanks, man!" Brick said. He then notices something. The boy he sees looks just like another Powerpuff/Rowdyruff. "Another one!?"
Bane smiles at his new powers. He now has the incredible strength which the Titan posseses. "Yes, I finally have more power. But it isn't enough!" Bane said. He looks at Tiger. "That creature has the ability to change element properties. I'd like that," Bane said. He flies directly at Tiger who is on Mike's shoulder.
"He's coming this way!" Brick said. Both Brick and Mike go into a fighting stance. Tiger flies straight up and transforms into fiery red form. Bane flies past Brick and Mike and straight at Tiger. "He's going for Tiger!" Mike yells.
Bane stabs Tiger. However, Bane couldn't drain a thing out of Tiger, not even its lifeforce. Bane quickly releases his swallow. "What? Why can't I drain it? Could it be that this is an imaginary creature so that it can't be drained?" Bane ponders. Just then, he notices Brick charging at him. Brick punches him straight in the face sending Bane back a bit.
"Who are you!?" Bane said holding his face.
"Me? I'm the leader of the ROWDYRUFF BOYS!!!" Brick yells as he continues to fight with Bane.
Bane, while dodging Brick's attacks, says, "Rowdyruff Boys? You probably know the Powerpuff Girls, then!" Bane then punched Brick in the stomach. Brick took it and flew behind Bane and back fisted Bane down at Mike. Mike, somewhat furious from Bane hurting Tiger, kicks Bane straight into the air. Bane pulls himself together and faces both Brick and Mike. "Listen, I am Bane! The most powerful being in the universe. Defy me and you'll have your lives taken!" Bane said.
"Yeah, right!" Brick said flying at Bane. Bane slices Bane with the swallow weapon and then knocks Brick down into Mike. Brick and Mike go crashing into the ground. Bane then flies at the two boys. Just then, Tiger interfers and bites Bane's right arm causing him to drop the swallow. Bane pulls Tiger off his arm and throws it aside. Bane flies towards his swallow and grabs it. As he picks it up, he sees Brick and Mike in front of him. The both pull back their fists to punch him straight in the face. Bane is sent back a bit. "I'll take care of you two later!" Bane said. He teleports away.
* * *
Bubbles and Buttercup watched the outraging battle through HIM's former monitor. They were shocked to see Mike, Brick, and Tiger alive after encountering Bane.
"Whoa! I have to admit it. Those guys are tough!" Buttercup said. "But I never thought that the Rowdyruff Boys are back! Anyways, they were tough! Even that wuss Mike!"
"He's not a wuss!" Bubbles said to Buttercup. "He's a very... nice... BOY!"
Buttercup took this as a chance to tease Bubbles. "Aw... does my wittle Bubbles have a cwushy wushy?"
Bubbles looks down blushing a bit. "Stop it, Buttercup!"
Bane teleports back into the lair in front of them. Bubbles and Buttercup immediately stop their conversation. They look at Bane in fright. Bane was breathing heavily and he sure looks ticked off. He pulled out his swallow. "I'm gonna need some more power. By the looks of you two, you've already recovered and with some more power, too," Bane said. He went over to Buttercup's forcefield and stabbed through it at her slightly on the arm. Buttercup screamed as her energy and power was being sucked out. Bane let go once Buttercup's energy was paling so she won't die. Bane then did the same with Bubbles. Bubbles also screamed loud also. Her energy and power was also being sucked out. Bane removed the swallow right before Bubbles would have taken serious harm. Bane lifted his free hand and a white light surrounded Buttercup and Bubbles. The newly made cuts on their arms were healed.
"Why," Buttercup said to Bane, "why are you keeping us alive?"
Bane looks at Buttercup. He wasn't breathing so heavily anymore. "Because I'm cropping your powers!" he said. Buttercup was too weak afterwards to say another word. The same went for Bubbles. Bane turned his attention back to the monitor where Brick and Mike were exchanging high fives. "Once I become stronger, I'll finish you two off and take your powers as well!" Bane threatened.
* * *
Brick and Mike were exchanging high fives while Tiger floats around smiling at them. "Yo, Mike, I must say, we make a great team!" Brick said. "How about it? Join the Rowdyruff Boys?"
Mike sighed a bit. Finally, he said, "Sure, I'd love to, but one thing..."
"What's that?" Brick asked.
"I'm... not so sure... since you guys wanna destroy the Powerpuff Girls... and the thing is, I'm friends with them," Mike shyly said.
Brick, hearing this, began to laugh. "Hahahaha! I don't believe it! A tough fighter like you now have gone sissy over a bunch of girls?" Brick stops his laughing. "Tell me, Mike. Why don't you want to destroy 'em Powerpuff Girls?"
"Look, Brick, they make great friends. Now, my turn to ask a question, why do you want to destroy the Powerpuff Girls? What have they done to you?" Mike asked. He looked calm.
Brick began to ponder. "Well," Brick started, "it wasn't my idea to destroy the Powerpuff Girls in the first place. It was really Pops... I mean Mojo."
"What? Mojo is your father?" Mike said looking surprised.
Brick looked up. "Yeah, I know. We have a motor-mouth monkey for a father. He created us. I guess you can't change fate," Brick said. "Anyways, lemme continue. The Powerpuff Girls, eh? Well, after we've fought with them, they began fighting back. But we kicked their butts in the end. And then... they, uh..." Brick started sounding nervous.
"They what?" Mike asked really anxious to hear.
"They, um, kissed us and we exploded," Brick said. He expected Mike to laugh at him for that. However, Mike didn't. He looks at Mike and sees him frowning a bit.
"So what you're saying is," Mike started, "that you were the ones who started the fight with the Powerpuff Girls. Then, they KISSED you. Is that a reason to destroy them?"
Brick looked down. "I guess not. I mean, I could understand why they'd want to get rid of us. They were trying to protect the city and all."
Mike placed a hand on Brick's "shoulder." Mike let out a sigh before he spoke, "Look, Brick. Go apologize to them. It's pointless for you guys to fight."
Brick looked at Mike and smiled weakly. "I guess so... heck, a revolution's always good!"
Mike let go and then smiled. "In that case, I'll go the Rowdyruff Boys!"
Tiger flew up to Brick's leg and rubbed its head against it.
* * *
Blossom looked around Townsville. She saw the Efreet and the IceWolf close together. "Whoa, better becareful. Those two can take me alone out without a doubt!" Blossom said to herself.
"What do we have here?" a voice was heard behind Blossom.
Blossom turns around to see Boomer and Butch crossing their arms and smirking evilly at Blossom. "The Rowdyruff Boys!" Blossom yells.
"Darn right! We're the Rowdyruff Boys!" Boomer said.
"And we're better and badder then ever!" Butch finished off for Boomer.
Blossom raised an eyebrow. "You kidding me? All I have to do is just kiss you," Blossom said. She placed her hand over her mouth as she giggled. "Wanna get some more girl cooties?" Blossom said acting a bit flirtatious.
Boomer and Butch backed up a bit. "Hmph! We're... we're not scared of cooties!" Boomer said.
"Y-yeah!" Butch also said.
Blossom floats up closer to Boomer and Butch. "Yeah, right, boys. Let's just this over with!" Blossom said. She grabs Boomer and Butch and pull them both in. She lands two quick kisses on their cheeks. Boomer and Butch fly back and began spitting. "Ew! Gross!" they were both saying at the same time while spitting and rubbing their faces. Blossom just stood there in shock. "They... didn't... explode...?" Blossom sounded really worried. "Uh... oh..."
Boomer and Butch then looked straight ahead at Blossom. "Look, we won't explode from yer sissy kisses any more so DON'T EVER KISS US AGAIN!!!" Butch yells.
"Yeah!" Boomer said.
Suddenly, Blossom snaps out of her shocked expression. "Say, where's the red Rowdyruff Boy?"
Boomer and Butch ease up a bit. "He's, he's..." was all Boomer could say. Butch pushed him out of the way. "Brick, you mean? He's lost! We're trying to find him!" Butch suddenly becomes serious. "You haven't seen him have you?"
Blossom quickly shook her head.
Butch turns to Boomer who was crying a bit. "Aw, come on, you sissy! No time to cry, Boomer! Let's get going and not waste any time here with this Powerpuff!" Butch said. Boomer stopped crying and nodded. "Okay, Butch," Boomer said in a worried voice.
"Where's yer sisters?" Butch said. He sounded anxious to see Buttercup, his counterpart.
"They... they're gone..." Blossom said. Boomer and Butch looked at each other. They frowned knowing how Blossom feels. Blossom was still a bit frightened. She knew darn well that she couldn't take on two Rowdyruff Boys at the same time.
"Yo, Powerpuff!" Butch called over to Blossom. "We'll take care of you later, once we find our bro!" He turns and motions for Boomer to split up.
"Wait!" Blossom calls out before they could move. The boys turn back to face Blossom. Blossom was scared a bit at first but she summoned her courage to say, "Hey, if I help you boys find your brother, will you leave Townsville alone?"
Boomer looks at Butch. Butch crosses his arms and began to think. "Yeah, I guess so," Butch said after a moment of pondering. "Our brother is more important to us than some city." Butch lightens up a bit. "And after we find him, we'll help you look for your sisters!"
Blossom eased up a bit. She held out her right hand. "I'm Blossom," Blossom said.
"I'm Boomer!" Boomer said happily. He shook Blossom's hand.
"Butch is the name," Butch said. He firmly shook Blossom's hand. "Alright, let's split up and find our bro! Blossom, if you find him, contact us because if he sees you, he might break the 'promise' he doesn't know about."
Blossom nods. Turn turns her head to look at Townsville a bit. "But what about those monsters?" Boomer said. Blossom's attention is redirected to the monsters.
"Uh, I think we better find your bro first," Blossom said. "We're better off having four people fight against those monsters than three." Boomer nodded. The three kids split up into different sections of Townsville. They left their respective trails of color behind.
* * *
Mojo began to pack his vehicle together with missiles and rocket launchers. He was getting ready as if he were to assault an entire nation's army. "This will help take care of those beasts," Mojo muttered under his breath. He stopped to look outside where the Efreet and the Icewolf were continuing to wreck harvoc in Townsville which was almost no more.
* * *
The Mayor and Ms. Bellum watched Townsville in terror. Ms. Bellum, who called the Hotline, told the Mayor that the girls were already out and fighting. "I was talking to the Professor," Ms. Bellum said. "He said that Bubbles and Buttercup were captured. All that was left was an injured Blossom who is trying to save the city now."
The Mayor fell onto his bottom. He started crying. "Townsville is doomed!"
* * *
Brick and Mike have joined forces and so has Blossom, Butch, and Boomer! What will become the outcome? What is Princess planning to do? What's going to happen to Bubbles and Buttercup? What is Mojo doing with his vehicle? Find out, next time, on the Powerpuff League!
