Allies and Rivals
Chapter 3
The Confrontation
Disclaimer:I don't own the Powerpuff Girls
Note: I reread the second chapter and noticed many spelling and grammatical errors. I apologize for those errors and the inconvenience it may have caused. I also noticed that I dated both Tuesday and Wednesday July 6. I would like to say that Wednesday is July 7, not July 6. I also made a mistake on the number of levels in the training room. To clarify, it is ten, not twenty.
Anyway, I have cleaned up the entire chapter, so if you reread it, it would be free of those mistakes. If I missed some, I apologize.
The City of Townsville, and it was July 9, Friday, in the first year.
Brick, Butch and Boomer at it again at the second level. Brick had insisted on training again right after breakfast. Dr. Edwards at first would not allow it but relented after he made Brick promise that they would only train in the morning.
"Butch, Boomer, Afterburner Attack!" Brick shouted, and he and his brothers charged the Powerpuff simulations. The simulations, however, were faster than anticipated, and they were to dodge the attacks of the boys. They then quickly counterattacked, sending them crashing down. Not contented, the simulations followed the boys down so that they beat them up when they hit the floor. The boys recovered however, and soon were able to push them back and take a fighting position some distance away from the simulations.
"Brick, this isn't working," Boomer said.
"I know," Brick replied. "We've got to do this a little differently. Boomer, Butch, let's do Plan A1."
"Are you sure about that Brick?" asked Butch.
"Yeah, do you want me to explain it to you?"
"Nah, it'll take too much time. Let's just do it, okay?"
"Then let's kick their butts!" Brick shouted, and the three of them charged. Brick charged Bubbles, Boomer charged Buttercup, and Butch charged Blossom. They charged, and charged upon the smirking simulations, until at the last moment, they changed their course and struck their counterparts, meaning Brick struck Blossom, Butch hit Buttercup, and Boomer clobbered Bubbles. The change in tactics surprised the simulated girls, and the fact that they were hit in the sides instead of head-on increased the effectiveness of the attack. They had slowed them down long enough for them to be able to catch up and give the girls a thorough beating.
"It's now or never!" Brick shouted, and soon, Brick temporarily left Blossom alone and joined Boomer fight Bubbles. They double punched the simulated Bubbles, and the impact threw her down. Boomer and Brick then quickly shifted their attention to the recovered Blossom and assaulted her at the same time. After a long fight, Brick and Boomer were finally able to defeat the simulation simply by virtue of their superior numbers. Then they made the final blow which knocked out the simulated Blossom for hours to come.
They knocked the simulated Blossom just in time, for the simulated Bubbles just recovered and charged Boomer and Brick. Brick and Boomer then received her flurry of punches and kicks. Then Brick and Boomer then laser eyed the simulated Bubbles. Then the simulated Bubbles charged angrily at Boomer, who was surprised at the fury of the attack. He had a hard time fending her off, but Brick stepped in and hit her at the back. Soon, the simulated Bubbles was unconscious.
Dr. Edwards was all time observing the training from the glass ceiling. 'The boys have improved a lot since last night,' he thought. 'Whereas they just attacked and attacked yesterday, today, they actually used tactics and strategy. Those three work great together,' Dr. Edwards observed. 'I hope you'll be able to maintain such teamwork. But now I know that they can beat the Powerpuff Girls if they can complete the training. I just hope they don't overdo it so they won't accidentally maim one of the girls for life.'
Meanwhile, Butch and the simulated Buttercup were having a slugfest. They punched, kicked, laser-eyed, and clobbered each other as if there was no tomorrow. His lips were bleeding, but his face had a sadistic smile, even if he had a black eye. 'I hadn't had this much fun since the last fight. Now to win,' Butch thought.
The Buttercup simulation was no less worse. Her hair was a mess, and her face, like Butch's, was bleeding. The simulated Buttercup charged and punched Butch on the stomach very hard. Butch just smiled and punched the Buttercup simulation in the face. She was pushed back a little bit but then retaliated with a laser eye beam. Butch managed to dodge but when he did, he was kicked in the face.
And so the fight dragged on to a stalemate. Each devastating blow was matched with a devastating counterblow, and this dragged on and on. It would seem that of the two, no one was winning. But if one would look closely, it would be obvious that Butch has the upper hand. He has a slightly greater capacity to take punishment, and it was beginning to show. However, Boomer and Brick joined the fight, and in one minute, the fight was all over.
"Great!" the doctor said. "You definitely improved since yesterday, and I am very proud of you three." He then turned some dials, and seconds later, where there was a wrecked Townsville simulation, there was now a lab with metal walls.
"Thanks, dad," Brick replied. He had been hungry for commendation from their new father figure, and Dr. Edwards, to his credit, gave all he could give.
"Could we go to level 3 now?" asked Boomer.
"Not yet. You will have two more fights with the simulated Powerpuff Girls, fights with more powerful monsters, then have individual fights with the simulated girls and more monsters. If you pass these, then you could go to level 3."
"Could we start now?" Butch eagerly asked.
"Not yet, we need to get those wounds and bruises patched up," the doctor replied.
They spent the rest of the day swimming and fishing in the lake in the middle of Dr. Edwards' property.
Meanwhile…
"Are you sure we're going to the right place Blossom?" Buttercup asked her sister.
"Sure I'm sure. I checked the Professor's yearbook, and found out that Mr. Edwards' father was the former president of Edtech Corporation, and guess who is the current President and CEO?"
"William K. Edwards?"
"That's right Bubbles, W.K. Edwards is none other than the richest man in Citiesville and Townsville. Who would have thought that the Professor's friend is really a big shot?" Blossom asked. "After that, it was easy finding his address. I figure that if we just go to the Townsville Main Office, we could catch him at work."
"You're brilliant Blossom!" Bubbles complemented.
"Of course," Blossom replied.
"But why don't we check the Citiesville office first?" a sceptical Buttercup asked.
"Because I already phoned his address there, and since he wasn't there, where else would he have gone but Townsville? Since he hasn't got a new address yet, it's best that we go to his office instead."
Since she has been stumped in the argument, the green clad puff didn't reply.
They soon reached the Main Office of Edtech Corp.
"Could we talk to Dr. William K. Edwards, CEO and President of Edtech Corporation?" Blossom asked the clerk at the main office of the Corporation in Townsville.
"Dr. Edwards isn't here right now," the clerk, Mr. Clark, said.
"Could we then ask for his address?"
"Sorry kids. I don't know. He hasn't told anyone of his new address ever since he moved into Townsville a few days ago," Mr. Clark explained.
"Do you think he could have disappeared?" asked Bubbles.
"Heck no. He calls us everyday to check on the company. I tried to trace the call, but he used a payphone," he explained in a Southern accent.
"When will Dr. Edwards return?" asked Buttercup.
"Well he said he's gonna take care of some business before going back to work. He said that he'll start working at this office at about August, wait, just let me see my notepad." He skimmed his notes then said, "About August 6. If you go back here at August 6, I'm sure you'll see him. Until then, don't try to find him. This isn't the first time he's done this, and we even hired the FBI to look for him back then, but he was never found until he voluntarily surfaced."
"Thank you Mr. Clark," Blossom said.
Disappointed, the three flew home.
The rest of July was spent by the boys training, and having summer fun with their father. Dr. Edwards always reserved at least two hours to showing his sons his land. There, Dr. Edwards taught the boys how to hunt, to fish, to properly chop wood. He also took them for swims in the big lake in the middle of his forest. Since their land was also beside a mountain, he would take them hiking, and at one time, they even slept outside. And since the Doctor forbade them to use their powers until they were ready to meet the Powerpuff Girls, they camped and had fun just like normal kids.
Some of the days were spent in town, where Dr. Edwards taught the Rowdyruff Boys the basics of how to act in society. They learned how to buy, be outwardly polite, how to act in certain situations, and many other things. They also often ate out since the Doctor couldn't cook to save his life. He also brought them to the town park, where they played various games.
The Doctor formally adopted the three as his sons in presence of a court. Since he was the richest man in Town, he didn't have any trouble adopting them. So now, the three are know as William Bricker Edwards Jr, James Boomer Edwards, and Wilbur Butch Edwards.
Of course, the Rowdyruff Boys didn't forget to train. They trained so hard when they weren't having fun that by August 4, they had beaten level 10.
As for the Powerpuff Girls, they spent the entire month either having fun or saving Townsville. Bubbles and Buttercup forgot about Dr. Edwards, but Blossom didn't. She was counting the days till August 6.
Professor Utonium himself forgot all about the picture in the album incident and his estranged childhood friend, William K. Edwards.
But soon, an event happened that shattered their idyllic existence and tied their fates together.
It was August 6.
"Are you sure you could manage being alone boys?" asked the doctor.
"We're big boys now Dad! We can handle it," Brick said.
"Yeah Dad, don't you trust us?" Boomer asked.
"Of course son, but…oh all right. But the house better be still in one piece by the time I come back. And by the way, don't go to the lab. I repeat, don't go to the lab. If I found out that you did, there will be no training for the next month and you can't have your revenge upon the Powerpuff Girls till January," William Edwards warned in a stern, serious voice.
The boys gulped. All their previous plans went down the drain.
Soon, Dr. Edwards gave last minute instructions to the boys, and he then drove towards his office.
"Now what do we do?" asked a bored Butch.
"Let's explore the forest beyond the lake," Boomer suggested.
"Yeah," Butch shouted. "How about it O Great Leader?"
"Well, we've got nothing better to do. But remember..."
"We know, we know, no using our powers…" both said in unison.
"Good, let's pack our food and go," Brick commanded.
Meanwhile…
"Come on girls, we don't want to be late for our meeting," Blossom said, trying to hurry the girls.
"Blossom, what's the matter with you? There ain't no monsters or criminals today?" Buttercup replied.
"Yeah, and the mayor hasn't called us yet," Bubbles added.
"Girls don't you remember?"
"We don't," Bubbles and Buttercup replied in unison.
"Don't you remember, almost a month ago, we went to see Dr. Edwards to try to persuade him to see the Professor, and the clerk told us that Dr. Edwards would come to work at August 6, and today is August 6, you know," Blossom explained.
"Oh yeah, I forgot about it, but, do we still have to go? I think this is useless," Buttercup complained.
"Nonsense Buttercup. We love the Professor right? Then we want him to be happy. What is one way to make him happy? Bring his long lost best friend to him, that's how, and as such, our endeavor is necessary," Blossom lectured.
"Alright," Buttercup replied. She really has nothing to say to refute Blossom, so she decided to go along. Bubbles decided to go along with Blossom and Buttercup.
"Hello Mr. Clark, I'm Blossom and I'm the same girl who asked about Dr. Edwards a month ago, and could we talk to him for a while?" Blossom asked when they returned to the Townsville office of Dr Edwards.
"Hey, you're those kids who asked about Dr. Edwards about a month ago, aren't you? Well, you're in luck since the Doctor is at his office right now. I'll call him," Mr. Clark said as he stood up and went upstairs. The Powerpuff Girls sat on a bench and waited for Mr. Clark and Mr. Edwards to return.
Dr. Edwards went into the lobby room expecting to see three little girls who wanted to see him. He never expected to see the Powerpuff Girls, so when he did, he was shocked. He stared a few moments at the girls, and his emotions began troubling him. He always knew he was indifferent, even apathetic to the girls. He did not hate the relations of those his enemies just because of their blood, and the Powerpuff Girls were no exception. But that was before he even got to personally see them.
When he did, he didn't know what emotion would take over. Was it hate? No. He was only planning their defeat as a way to help the Rowdyruff Boys get on with life. The PPG being the Professor's creations certainly was convenient, for it allowed him to one-up his rival in another way. But the primary reason was to help his boys get over their defeat. And if the defeat of the girls was what it's going to take, then he would help. Of course he would make sure that his boys would only defeat them, not kill or destroy them, not out of concern for the girls, but out of concern of what will happen to the character and reputation of his sons if they killed the Powerpuff Girls.
But now before him were the Powerpuff Girls in the flesh. When he saw them, he was initially indifferent. But events would prove that that indifference would not last long.
'Why is Dr. Edwards staring at us like that? He looks like he just saw a ghost,' Buttercup thought to herself.
"Are you Dr. William Edwards?" Bubbles asked.
"Yes, and you're the Powerpuff Girls I presume?" Dr. Edwards replied, quickly recovering his composure.
"How'd you know?" Bubbles replied.
"Well, when you're the superheroes of the city, and you are on TV almost everyday, it is hard not to recognize you on sight. Besides, you're reputation precedes you."
"You don't say. You mean we're that famous?" asked a surprised Bubbles.
"Of course we're that famous, you nincompoop, we're the Powerpuff Girls!" replies a perplexed Buttercup.
Before Bubbles could reply to Buttercup's retort, Blossom spoke.
"Yeah, but not as famous as you Dr. Edwards," replied Blossom. "Your reputation also precedes you."
"Nah. I'm not that famous. I'm just an obscure CEO of an obscure company," Dr. Edwards replied.
"Well, you are that famous, since you're the richest man in Citiesville and Townsville, and my computer hardware and software is both made and designed by Edtech Corp., and you are a genius of course, for you personally designed most of the products of this Corporation," Blossom replied, flattering him in every way.
"How did you know that?"
"I have my ways."
"Anyway, your sister's right. Just don't tell anybody I'm here in Townsville. I don't want everybody, especially the press, to come flocking here in my office or in my house."
"You got it, Doctor," Bubbles replied.
"Anyway, why are you three here?"
"Well, the Pro—" Bubbles began, but was quickly cut off by Blossom.
"We want a tour of your fine company," Blossom said, interrupting his sister.
"We do?" Bubbles asked.
"But I thought we're going to mmphhh" Buttercup was going to protest but was cut off when Blossom put her hands in her sister's mouth.
"Just go along with this, I know what I'm doing," Blossom whispered.
"Mmmph," Buttercup then removed Blossom's hand from her mouth, "I hope you're right, leader girl," she whispered back.
"So when can we start?"
So they spent the entire morning touring the Edtech's factory at Townsville. Dr. Edwards acquiesced with the girls' reasonable request. Blossom asked so many questions about Edtech Corp. and he was glad to answer them. Pretty soon, despite everything, despite the fact that he hated their creator, despite the fact that he was planning the girls' defeat, he found that he liked the girls.
'Excellent.' Blossom thought. 'Not only do I get to see how this fine corporation works, but with us getting closer to Dr. Edwards, he would be more amenable to going with us. Besides, he's a pretty nice guy.'
After the tour…
"Um, Doctor, can we ask you something?" Bubbles asked.
"Well, um, you see, do you know Professor Utonium?"
William Edwards' expression quickly changed upon hearing the name of Professor Utonium, from pleasant to that which was incomprehensible to the girls. It was a mixture of hate, rage, confusion, and guilt. His face turned white. 'Damn it John Utonium, why do you have to send your girls to torture me?'
"Ah Dr. Edwards, is something wrong?" asked a concerned Buttercup.
"Huh," Dr. Edwards then quickly recovered his composure. "Of course. He is Townsville's, not to mention the state's, foremost scientist and the creator and father to you three."
"And your best friend when you were in high school!" Bubbles added.
Dr. Edwards was shocked. He just couldn't believe that his 'secret' was out. "How did…"
"We were looking at the Professor's old album, and we saw pictures of you and the Professor together," Buttercup finished.
"You're right, we were friends in high school, but we parted ways in college, and we're not anymore friends today," he said in a serious tone.
"How come?" asked Blossom.
Dr. Edwards began thinking. 'How could I tell them without tearing the image of their father to them, oh yes, I know!' "You see, since we haven't seen each other in thirty years, we just grew apart."
"How about if you see him now?" asked Bubbles.
"Sorry girls I'm busy…"
"Please…" the three girls said simultaneously, giving the doctor their best puppy dog eyes.
Dr. Edwards looked at the three girls, and he saw his will waver under the glares of the three cute girls. But he rallied his resolve and decided to refuse.
"Sorry girls, I just can't…"
Just then, a huge monster suddenly appeared and started attacking Townsville. Worst still, it was headed right for the Edtech Factory, and Dr. Edwards began thinking of how much money he had to pay to repair his factory once the monster got through with it.
"Let's go girls," Blossom said, and soon, they were off. Dr. Edwards decided to observe the fight, so that he could see how his sons would fare it they would fight now.
'Hm, they're good. That monster doesn't have a chance. But the way I see it, they wouldn't have a chance against my boys.'
The monster didn't have a chance. But suddenly, it released sharp spikes all over from its skin. The Powerpuff Girls easily dodged them, but one was heading right towards Dr. Edwards. But he was too busy with his own thoughts to notice the spike coming right at him.
Seconds before the spike would have impaled the doctor in the chest, he was grabbed by Bubbles and taken out of the way.
"Huh, what?" the absent-minded doctor said when he noticed that he was dangling in the air with Bubbles holding him the shoulder.
"You were nearly hit by that spike, Doctor," Bubbles said as she pointed to the spike that pierced the wall the doctor had been leaning against just seconds earlier.
"Thanks Bubbles," Dr. Edwards said.
"You're welcome, Doctor," Bubbles said as she put him down and joined the fight against the monster. One minute later, the monster was dead, and the girls were back talking with Dr. Edwards.
"How about it?" Buttercup asked.
"How about I take you three out to lunch for saving my life?" Dr. Edwards suggested.
"And then you'll go see the professor?" asked Blossom, then the three began to give him the look.
This time, his resolve crumbled. This time, he has a debt of gratitude to the girls, and since he cannot cancel the boy's revenge, this would be the least he could do. Even if it was too see his hated rival.
"Okay, okay, we'll go after eating lunch."
The girls cheered.
After treating the girls to lunch at Dunkin Donuts, the doctor drove the three girls to their home.
"Professor, we've got a surprise for you!" Bubbles shouted.
"What is it Bubbles?" asked the Professor, who was in his lab working.
"It's a surprise," said Buttercup as she blindfolded Professor Utonium. "Come here Professor," Blossom said as he led him towards the living room.
"You can now remove your blindfold professor," Bubbles said.
John Utonium removed it, and he was shocked. His facial expression changed into dead seriousness, and he stared right at his former High School friend. "William," he simply said.
"John," William replied. "Now girls, if you could excuse us, we would like to have some grown-up talk," he pleasantly said to the girls, although it was clear it was forced.
"He's right, girls, you should all go out and play while we talk," John Utonium said, his voice also pleasant, but like that of William Edwards, was also forced.
"But…" Bubbles began to protest.
"The Professor and Doctor is right, Bubbles. Let the grown-ups have their little reunion privately," Blossom said. Soon the girls were outside the house and discussing privately among themselves.
"I don't like the looks of this," Bubbles said. "They aren't acting very friendly like towards each other."
"Don't worry. They're just shocked to see each other after a long time. You'll see. They'll be hugging each other and begin talking about old times," Blossom reassured her sister.
"I hope you're right, Blossom, I hope you're right," Buttercup said.
Meanwhile…
"I see that you decided to show your face again," John Utonium began.
"Cut the crap, John. The only reason I came to see you is as a favor to the Powerpuff Girls, and certainly not to see a disgusting creature like you," William replied.
"You're the one to talk, William. You're the one who ruined my project and you still have the guts to say something like that. Honestly, I never thought of you as dishonest, but there's a first time for everything," John said.
"Don't give me that John. What you're working on at that time was too dangerous to complete. Imagine if it had fallen to the wrong hands. And you even didn't tell me until it was nearly completed."
"I meant it as a surprise, William. But when I told you you had to destroy it, just as it was near completion. You know what you did William? Ha, did you know what you did? You've destroyed mankind's hope! You've destroyed mankind's hope for happiness!" Utonium yelled.
"What you've invented would make man into a monster!" William responded just as passionately. "Yes, I had to stop you, even if you're my friend. I even burned the notes so you can never replicate it again. But what I hated about you is the way you destroyed me after that. You stole my idea of Chemical X, and took credit for yourself. And when I decided to take what is due to me, you made it look that I was the one who is trying to steal your idea."
"Don't try to sound so moralistic about that," John replied. "What you created is just as dangerous for man as what you claimed mine was. So I decided to take action. But instead of destroying your project, like you did mine, I mere decided to take and make it out as my idea so you wouldn't publish it. I merely announced it to the world and kept it."
"Oh so you've kept it to keep it away from the world," William replied, him barely containing his anger. "Then how the hell could so many people have this chemical X? Admit it, you profited from stealing my chemical X, and you stole it because you wanted revenge on me destroying your earlier project!"
"Yes I admit it, William, I stole your idea as revenge for you destroying my earlier project, but you started it. I didn't destroy you, you know, you destroyed yourself," John replied.
"Damn it John, don't you know because of that incident, I failed college and because of that, my father disowned me while my mother died heartbroken thinking her son is an intellectual thief while you went on to graduate at the top of your class the very next year? It took me ten years to finish college because almost no school would admit me. Luckily I was able to find one that would and I was able to slowly rebuilt my reputation. And me and my father where reconciled only five years ago, one year before he died. I wanted revenge, John, on you!"
"But that is the past Utonium," William continued. "I shortly inherited Edtech Corp. and as you know, built it into the largest technology company in the country. Thus I became the richest man in Townsville and Citiesville and because of my inventions, I became as renowned a scientist as you ever were. It seems to me that fate has been making up for my long years in the wilderness, wouldn't you think so? And now I am more successful in life than you, John. In a way, that partially mollified my desire for revenge."
"That is when I realized that you're not worth my contempt, my hatred and my vengeance," William continued. By this time, John, although very angry and full of hate, tried to keep his temper in check. He wanted to hear what his enemy was saying. "You are not even worth my saliva to spit to your face. No, you are worse than the worst scum that ever traversed this earth. I would not even try to dignify your position by even attempting revenge. No, such a course, John, would soil my sense of decency and elevate you to a position you don't deserve. Yes, you should wallow for the rest of your life in the lie that you perpetuated, that you discovered or created Chemical X, knowing as a fact that you based your entire reputation on that lie. But that doesn't mean I don't hate you. Yes, even though you're not worth my hate, I still hate you. You've done too much too not merit my hate!"
"You should talk," John Utonium replied bitterly. "What you have said happened to you is all your fault. You don't know a good discovery when you see one. You had to destroy my original project, so I destroyed yours, only I did it by stealing it. So we're even. Ha, you can recreate my original project and take credit for it, and I wouldn't even bother exposing you. Ha, what happened to you is just the result of you trying to prevent my revenge from being effected. So leave, William, leave. Don't ever come back to this house, for I don't want to see your face ever. I hate you."
"Believe me John, the feeling is mutual. The feeling is mutual," William said. "By the way, the only thing good you did is to create those girls," and with that, the doctor turned around and left the house.
It was August 7
"Butch, Boomer, hurry!" Dr. Edwards shouted at the boys, who were frantically preparing their things for their planned excursion to the city. They agreed to celebrate outside because they had completed all ten levels. They planned their first fight with the Powerpuff Girls on August 10. Brick is already ready and standing at his father's foot, wearing a superior smirk in his face.
"Let's go, we wouldn't want to get there before noon. It would be so hot and crowded," the doctor said as he entered the car and started the engine. Two seconds later, Brick was in the front seat beside the doctor while Butch and Boomer where on the back seat.
They soon arrived at Townsville City, and found a place to park. After that, they slowly walked on the side of the street, besides extremely tall skyscrapers, on their way to the park.
The Powerpuff Girls were mildly disappointed. Things hadn't gone the way they had planned, but enough had happened to give them hope. The Professor explained to them that Dr. Edwards left early because he had important work to do after talking to him for only a few minutes. They had expected the Doctor to stay through dinner. They even expected the Professor to even invite him to stay over. Besides, the girls liked the doctor's company. Also noticeable was the Professor's extremely bad mood.
'Maybe it was because Dr. Edwards left early,' Blossom thought. 'I better invite him again to our home when he isn't so busy.'
They were in the house, with Blossom reading some books, Buttercup drawing pictures of mangled limbs of monsters, and Bubbles playing doctor to Octi, when suddenly, the hotline rang.
"Yes Mayor," Blossom began. "A monster attacking Townsville! Okay Mayor, we're on it!"
Soon the three girls were flying to Townsville.
The monster was a flying creature with iron like wings and very light body. It had numerous spikes on its body and was very strong. But it has a deadly weakness. It has no defense on its underbelly, or under its wings.
"Okay girls, let's take him down!" Blossom said. "Buttercup. Go and attack it on its underbelly. Bubbles and I will go to the wings."
Buttercup headed towards the body without replying. Blossom and Bubbles were able to grab each wing despite sustaining several bruises and scratches in attempting the grab. Before Buttercup made contact with the body, it fell to the ground because it has lost the use of its wings when Blossom and Bubbles grabbed it. Soon, Buttercup was diving towards the underbelly while Blossom and Bubbles laser-eyed it to soften it for the green puff.
Buttercup crashed through the body, instantly killing the monster. The girls then finished its body by using their laser eyes. It exploded, with most parts flying off harmlessly towards the forest and ocean. Unfortunately, two parts flew towards the city.
"Oh no!" Blossom said upon seeing the flying pieces. "After it girls!"
Brick, Boomer, Butch and William Edwards were walking at the sidewalk besides some tall skyscrapers. Suddenly, two objects collided with the building they were adjacent to. Luckily, the building was earlier evacuated, so no one in the building got hurt. But the impact caused the building to split into three, with the top a small piece, the middle the largest one, both falling towards the four, while the third, the base, remained standing.
"Watch out!" Brick shouted. "Butch, take care of the small one, Boomer and I will take care of the middle one!"
Butch then flew and caught the flying top. He then threw it as hard as he could in the direction of the ocean. Boomer and Brick caught the middle part, seconds before it hit Dr. Edwards.
Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup saw the building collapse.
"Oh no!" Bubbles shouted.
Soon however, they saw a fast projectile moving towards them. It was so fast that they haven't had time to avoid it, and they collided with it. It hit the three girls head on. Luckily, it was only the small top so that aside from the fact that they were disoriented, got extremely annoyed and teed off, and got extra bruises, they were fine.
"Look, it's the Rowdyruff Boys who threw that thing at us," Buttercup said.
Blossom looked and saw the boys with their backs on them, with Brick and Boomer carrying a large part of the demolished building and looking over at Dr. Edwards.
"Oh no, they're attacking Dr. Edwards," Bubbles said, panicking, completely misinterpreting the situation.
"Yeah, they probably shot that top of the building to take us out," Blossom replied. "Well, let's teach them a lesson they won't forget."
And with that they charged at the Rowdyruff boys, who were still unaware of the girls' presence.
And the long awaited fight began.
