CHAPTER 5

              After the girls and the Rowdyruff Boys spent the quality time they have together, the predicted date that Drakona awakes is closing in. It is Monday, and Drakona will be awake tomorrow. The boys and the girls were spending time in the Danger Grid, which is the girls training room, which is similar to a holodeck. After beating 23 Holographic Mojo Jojo's at level 34, the girls and the boys seem ready for anything. They ate their dinner later that night and went to bed.

 Tuesday

  Somewhere on the outskirts of Paris.

           A being under an trench coat was ordering a group of men to dig out something from the ground. "Hurry up, you fools! The great master Drakona will be awake soon!" "He won't be happy to wake up with dirt in his mouth, and still buried!!" 3 hours later Drakona's sleeping body was excavated from the earth. The being in the trench coat looked at his watch and grins. "Drakona is awaking!" a man shouted. Drakona groaned and woke up. The being ripped off his trench coat to reveal the Horned Demon, Kagon. "Master Drakona, I am your best minion, Kagon. I was resurrected to reawaken you!" "Ah, Kagon. It's been so long since I last saw you. I saw you get vanquished during the blast." "How long has it been since?" "Great master, it's been 9 long centuries since our defeat! I have escaped hell and returned to the land of the living." "Good. This world shall fear our power!" "Master, I have a feeling we might be able to resurrect our army. But we need to raid the tomb of Sahakas. Our fellow minions' souls are imprisoned in that tomb." Drakona nodded and spoke, "So we have to free them so we can resurrect them." Kagon then added, "Master, I have found these men." " They are loyal to me, they might be granted the power to be mercenaries of our army." Drakona nodded in agreement. " Very well, I shall make them our special warriors." Drakona casts a spell and each of the men grew tougher, and their muscles bulged. They clothing were replaced with black steel suits of armor. They have become the evil one's dark knights. They withdrew swords that were 1 and a half yards long and swung it in the air. They are ready to help Drakona and Kagon siege the tomb of Sahakas.

             Brick woke up in cold sweat. He looked at his brothers who were still sound asleep. But he noticed they were not dreaming pleasant things. A moment later, they woke up in the same way Brick did. He knew what they saw, Drakona's reawakening. "Butch, Boomer, you saw Drakona too?" They nodded. "They will probably attack this, Sahakas tomb thingy." Butch added. Brick then spoke, "Wherever this place is, we don't know where." Suddenly there is an white glow and the boys hears a voice. "Rowdyruff Boys, we have not expected Drakona to go strike the tomb of Sahakas. You must stop him, before he resurrects his army from the dead. The tomb is located under the coliseum in Rome. Go quickly!"

         The next morning the boys woke up to receive a kiss from their counterparts. "Morning! Boys!" they yelled in unison.The boys smiled and hugged their counterparts warmly. Brick remembered the events last night. He broke away from Blossom, and gave a serious glare at his brothers. They then remembered what happened last night as well. "What is it Brick?" "Drakona, he's awake!" Boomer interrupted, "Girls, go change quickly, we going to go stop him right after breakfast. Don't forget to put on those special bracelets." As the girls were changing, the boys changed into their day clothes and put on their battle gear. They went out to the kitchen and prepared breakfast. The professor greeted them and then remembered what they said yesterday. He gave a grim look at Brick and told him, "It's time, is it?" Brick just nodded. "You kids be careful out there! Do you need any equipment you wish to bring with you? Some first aid kits? Some food, some water……" "No professor. We will be fine."

              The boys and the Powerpuff girls went outside after saying good bye to the Professor. The Boys flew in the direction to Rome, and the girls followed. "So Brick, where are we going to find Drakona?" Blossom inquired. "Rome." Brick replied. "WHAT?!?!!" The Powerpuff girls said in unison. "Yes, we going to Rome." Brick replied. Butch spoke, "Hold our hands, we will be able to use our powers to get there in no time." The boys and the girls held hands and they stopped momentarily in mid air. They then sped off to Rome like a starship jumping into warp in Star Trek.

          Moments later, above the roman coliseum, there was a big flash. The boys and the girls appeared right after when the flash ended. They looked down, and they saw a hole in the middle of the coliseum. Brick thought, "Hmmm, that hole must lead to the tomb." He motioned his brothers and the girls to follow him down the hole. "Girls, stay behind us. If we have to fight, we want to make sure you are behind our cover." The girls nodded and they went down the passage to the insides of the tomb.

         Deep inside the tomb, Drakona and Kagon are in a chamber, chanting some ancient language. The 33 dark knights were guarding the chamber and the entrance. While the remaining 67 were patrolling the passageways of the tomb. Drakona stopped chanting for a moment and spoke, "We will soon open this barrier, and our minions will be able to come forth back into the world of the living!" Kagon spoke, "I sense some resistance in the tomb. We better hurry, master!"
