In these silences, something may rise

Breakout

(Authors note, for Him whenever effeminate voice is used it is plain text, bold text is Him's demonic voice. I am looking for a proof reader and editor, if you are interested please email me or mention in a review.)

The city of Townsville, where the hideout of the three evil Rowdy Ruff Boys is the abandoned sport-arena. The three have been here since they were forced to flee from the Power Puff Girls and the good Rowdy Ruff's. In this time Brick had gone on a rampage, his anger had overflowed in a chaotic destruction that had cost the lives of three innocent people. The fine thread of sanity had snapped when his goal had been snatched away from him at the last second. His two brothers had decided it best for their health to just stay quiet and keep out of the way while Brick had vented his rage at anything he could touch. But now after almost a full day of anarchy and devastation Brick had calmed himself enough for some rational thoughts.

'Butch, Boomer get over here now.' Brick said as he put his red jacket back on, he could not even remember taking it off at some point. His two brothers instantly appeared next to him, right now they were sure not been perfectly obedient would end up with them been killed.

'What's up Brick?' Butch asked. He had been angry at been forced to run like a coward but had done nothing like Brick. Butch had settled for smashing a few rocks and swearing up a storm, his tantrum only lasting a few hours but Brick had out done him in everyway. He was not sure if he should be worried or proud.

'Those things caused us to fall back; we need to know what they are.' Brick said.

'They 'aren't us boss.' Butch said. 'They must be some kind of trick, a hologram or robots or something. The Powder Poof Girls were down for the count so they cheated with some trick and…' Butch instantly slammed his mouth closed, he had come close to saying that Brick had fallen for it. Butch thought he had just gotten away with it but Brick had marked it, and he had a long memory.

'Maybe it was alien pod people who have come to replace us!' Boomer shouted out, he had been watching horror movies for months now and they were starting to affect him. He saw aliens, monsters, psycho killers and other terrors all the time now, but his paranoia was nothing to Bricks.

'I don't care where they came from only how powerful they are.' Brick said. 'If they are clones, or robots or something of that sort then we might be in trouble. We could handle the Power Puff Girls with our hands tied behind our backs… but their power combined with true copies of us… we would be annihilated. Also there is a problem with possible infiltration, that must be rectified right now. From now on if you are not sure if one of us is really us then ask the question "Who is the best, Rowdy's or Puff's?" if your asked that then answer "Neither, only time will tell." And that should stop infiltration. Also to avoid any stupid confusion we are going to change our names, from now on Boomer is called Blaster, Butch you can be Blaze and I will be called Brimstone.'

'But I like the name Butch.' Butch said, again only realising the mistake after it was too late for him to stop.

'You are called Blaze from now until I say otherwise, we will not go through some idiotic confusion with names. I can't count on our counterparts renaming themselves so we have to do it.' Brimstone said. 'Which leads to the next point, we need to know our enemies, knowledge is power after all.'

'I say we attack them head on, call their bluff and walk right through it!' Blaster said, he like Blaze thought it was a trick and that if they called it the girls would be dead before sun down.

'To risky Blaster, if they are clones or robots or some damned thing then going head on might lead to use getting creamed.' Brimstone hated the unknown; it was the one thing that could truly slow him down. If he knew what he was against he could find a way to defeat it, but with out that knowledge he was next to useless. 'If they have anywhere near our power, or even the power of those girl's we would not stand a chance in a head on battle. Now what we need is to draw them out, force them to show their whole hand to us with out putting ourselves at risk.'

'How do we do that Bri… Brimstone?' Blaze asked.

'We encourage some people to help us out Blaze.' Brimstone said as he started to walk out of the old sky box and head off into the sky.

'Where are you going?' Blaze shouted after Brimstone.

'Stay here, I need to check some plans out…' Brimstone shouted back just before he turned into a red beam of light. His two brothers left behind with out a single clue on what he was planning.

'What is he up to Blaze?' Blaster said.

'I don't know, but someone is going to be in a whole lot of pain after he's done... I can't wait.'

'So how was your first day at school then boys?' Professor Utonium asked as Brick, Butch and Boomer came into the house after school had ended.

'We've had better days.' Brick said, he felt physically and emotionally drained after sitting through even more torture. Butch was not so bad; he just felt the need to beat the stuffing out of someone. Boomer was still feeling horrible after the scene in the hallway, for shouting at Bubbles and acting like a baby.

'Professor I think its best to leave the subject alone.' Blossom said as she walked into the house.

'Rough first day huh?' Professor Utonium said with no idea how bad the day had been for the boys. 'Well no worries, people will just take time to get used to you is all, I am sure in no time you will make friends. But I have something to take your minds off school, go check out your room boys.' The three boys went in the direction of their room with no real zeal; the day had taken a heavy toll on them all. When they did finally reach the room the found the Professor had completely redecorated it since they had been gone. The walls were all painted blue, the beds were new and had sheet colours to match their owners personal taste, there were three chests of draws, a table with a computer on it, a neat pile of fresh clothes, a small mirror with three combs, toothbrushes etc, a hotline phone, a small radio and a box of toys beside each rowdy's bed.

'Wow look at this stuff!' Brick said in amazement as he walked into the room which when he left had been as dull as Him is evil. The red Ruff walked to his bed to look at the new clothes he had been given each set matching his old clothes perfectly.

'Hey cool I got some weights.' Butch said, he had gone to the box of toys at the end of his bed and found them all perfect for him. The Professor had simply thought what Buttercup would have liked if she was a boy, and found very little difference in what he bought her normally.

'Look at all the toys we have, I have never seen so many in my life.' Boomer said, he was sifting through his hoard of action figures and colouring books like a poor man through a mound of money. The thought of toys reminded him that after all that had happened he had forgotten all about his small teddy bear, he had left it with Bubbles after he had run off.

'We have got to thank the Prof for the stuff, I mean look at this… "Eliminator 4000 assault space rifle of doom mark nine point six!" I could do some seriously cool stuff with this.' Butch said as he swung the toy gun round, tempted to see what each button and trigger did. 'Hey Boomer, yo earth to Boomer, come in Boomer… Boomer wake the heck up!' Butch shouted at Boomer who had stopped moving as he went deep into thought, he was not always the sharpest tool in the box but when Boomer stopped thinking about everything else he could come up with some scarily smart ideas. Even Brick had noticed that if Boomer went into a trance like the one he was in he could make revelations that even their leader could not have thought of.

'Whoa, sorry Butch I was just thinking about something I forgot to do today… I'll be right back guys.' Boomer said. He jumped out of the box of toys and left the room with his two brothers just watching him with mystified expressions on their faces.

'What's up with him?' Butch asked Brick who just shrugged and went on investigating his new possessions.

Bubbles was sitting outside when Boomer found her, she was lying on the grass drawing something on a small piece of paper. Boomer walked outside keeping as quiet as he could, he could see Bubbles was concentrating as hard as he had been earlier and unlike most people he knew it was best to let it run its course. He thought of it as been in the zone, and when he was there he could do nearly anything and do it perfectly right. When he was outside he just sat on the grass behind Bubbles and waited for her to finish. He did not have to wait long before the focused look in Bubbles eyes started to fade as she slowed down her work and started to get distracted by what was going on around her.

'What are you drawing?' Boomer asked when he felt sure she was completely out of the zone, forgetting he had basically snuck up to her. Bubbles jumped a little as she span round to see Boomer sitting there.

'Boomer?' She sounded confused but quickly regained herself and grabbed at the picture holding it close to her chest so Boomer could not see it. 'Don't look at the picture it's not done yet. When it's done I'll give it to you but please don't look at it before it's done.'

'Is that picture for me?' Boomer asked, and Bubbles nodded. 'Why would you draw a picture for me?'

'To say sorry for earlier, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings you know.' Bubbles said as she moved the picture out the way so she would not scrunch it up against her chest.

'You wanted to apologise to me? But I came to say sorry to you Bubbles; after all I am the one who acted like a total jerk.' Boomer said. 'I did not mean to shout at you, it was just that I felt so horrible I had to shout at someone and you were the only person there I could. I am really sorry, I don't hate you at all Bubbles.'

'I know that silly, who could hate me?' Bubble said with a huge smile across her face. 'Oh that reminds me, I still have your teddy bear.' She reached into her pockets and dug out the small bedraggled teddy bear Boomer had owned for almost his entire life.

'My bear…' Boomer held his hand out to take the small toy then stopped. 'No you keep it Bubbles; I really should have stopped holding that a long time ago. You take it and look after it for me.'

'You want me to have your favourite toy?' Bubbles tried to think of giving up Octi to some one and just could not do it. 'But it's yours and you love it. I have loads of toys already and you said sorry so there really is no need.'

'Yeah there is, I was a first class jerk to you.' Boomer said. 'So you take him, and as long as you keep it to yourself I do love that old toy. It was the first toy present I was ever given and I have looked after him ever since, he's sort of been my lucky charm. Now I need to make my own luck, and as long as you have him it can be a promise between us. I promise never to act like I did this morning, and if you ever need my help I'll give it no questions asked.'

'Thank you Boomie, that's really sweet.' Boomer went bright red when Bubbles said this.

'Your welcome Bubbles, but please call me Boomer and not Boomie.' Boomer said averting his eyes and trying desperately to stop his blushing.

'Ok Boomer, I promise to call you by your full name from now on… and not to call you cute and sweet… at least not in front of your brothers.'

'Thanks Bubbles.' Boomer stood up cleaning the grass that had stuck to him while he sat down. When he was reasonably clean he started to go back inside to finish checking out the new stuff he had been given, and quite likely thank the Professor for it. But just at the door he stopped and looked back at Bubbles.

'You will take good care of it wont you?' Boomer asked, his face filled with concern and worry.

'I promise to look after it with my life Boomer.' Bubbles said with her hand over her heart, holding back the giggles that were threatening to burst out. Boomer smiled in relief as he went back inside the house.

'So this is the big house, not quite as impressive as I was expecting it to be.' Blaze said. He and his brothers were now hovering a few miles above the world's greatest prison, a fortress which held Townsville's most dangerous criminals. It was built by the worlds top minds, its defences tested by the Power Puff Girls themselves and found impervious.

'Err, how are we going to get in there Brimstone?' Blaster asked. Brimstone had shown up early in the morning declaring they were going to break the prison wide open. They would use the inmates to test the Power puff Girls out, that way they need not even get a scratch or even work up a sweat.

'Quite simple Blaster, we kill everyone here who tries to stop us, anything gets in out way and we smash it. When we get past the outer defences it's a free for all slaughter, just make sure to keep a few eyes and hands in tact… and any security passes, why waste energy on doors right? When we reach the central core we open it up any way we can, that is the mission any questions.' Brimstone asked. Blaze smiled happy at the idea of mindless destruction and Blaster was not only look forward to the mayhem but the fact it sounded so easy.

'Right on!' Blaze said punching the air. 'We finally get to kick some butt!'

'Rowdy Ruff's attack!' Brimstone yelled out as he started to dive at the prison, his eye lasers firing before he even got close.

'This is going to rock!' Blaze said. He flew down and attacked the prison with his bare hands, ripping a guard tower up and throwing it in the direction of the main town.

'Last one to a million points is a Power Puff Girl!' Blaster yelled out before he joined his brothers in the demolition of Townsville prison.

The prison was built to keep everyone in, but a few of its designers had thought a jail brake possible for the outside. So the prison was set into three sections, the outer arc, the inner compound and the core. The core was a solid prison made of the hardest metal known to man, specially designed for this purpose. It held the prisoners who could not escape it no matter how hard they tried. If somehow one did escape the core then the inner compound was designed to help stop them, it was where mostly the guards worked alone with other staff. Shear numbers added with automated weapons were thought enough to handle even the toughest inmate. If by a miracle they did make it past there the outer arc was the final obstacle. Inside it was a solid wall covered in a dome force field much like the one that covered Monster Island. Outside was enough fire power and automated defences to hold back a small army, and right now the Rowdy Ruff Boy's were tearing it apart.

The outer arc was the best chance to stop the three boys, but their powers and skills were too much for the system to keep up with. They moved about so fast the lock on sensors could never catch them in time to fire even a single shot. The offensive abilities of the fortress were destroyed in a matter of minutes, leaving only the wall and force field to stop the Ruff's.

'Blaster, breach their defences!' Brimstone shouted as the last laser cannon crumbled in his hands like it was made of wet tissue paper.

'Yes sir!' Blaster said. The blue Rowdy looked at the wall for a moment as he gathered his strength then unleashed his special attack. Taking in a deep breath he launched a sonic boom attack, the wave of sound so strong it was enough to pulverize rocks, bend steel and shatter bones in the human body. The sound waves struck the wall and the force field, both of which held up strong for all most a full thirty seconds. But slowly both started to buckle, the energy the field needed tripling then reaching its maximum while the stone in the wall shattered and the steel inside began to bend for the force. By the time a full minute had gone by the force field shattered into a billion particles of light as its generators overloaded and exploded, the steel wall bent down until it touch top touched the ground leaving a massive hole in the outer arc.

'Their defences are broke, let the slaughter begin!' Brimstone yelled out as the wall finally crumbled before him. His brothers followed him into the inner compound, they were greeted by every guard there was ready and firing everything they had.

'Bonus points if you kill the staff!' Blaze shouted as he saw the non-combatant staff running for cover.

'None are to live to tell the tale, everyone dies!' Brimstone shouted out as he dodged a laser blast aimed for his head. He retaliated by breathing out a huge fire ball which caught at least ten guards, ten men who burned like dry leaves. And so began the heartless massacre of every single worker at the prison. The boys started by attacking the front line defence with everything they had, as soon as that had been destroyed the guards were left in a panic and easy picking for them. They were deaf to all the screams for mercy; they made no distinction between those who stood and fought and those who begged on their knees, all they cared for was the murder of anyone that was in their reach. The end was inevitable, they guards never even hit a Rowdy Ruff Boy, the three were just too powerful and skilled for them. In less time then it took for the police to receive a SOS from the prison every worker had been killed by the three boys.

'That was easy enough, so much for been an unbeatable prison.' Blaze said as he threw down the last of the dead guards like used garbage.

'They were fools to stand against my will, the will of their God.' Brimstone said. He had killed more then either one of his brothers had managed, his hands covered in the blood of men and women who had crossed his path.

'Lets get the bozos out of their box, there's no more fun here.' Blaster said.

'Yes, the stink of failure fills this place and it makes me sick.' Brimstone said before leading his brothers past the last of the outer arc and into the central core. This was a single large metal cube which housed the defeated criminals, made of a metal called 'Adamantium.' after a comic book metal. It was thought to be practically invincible, able to take extreme heat and pressure beyond all other materials found on earth. Before the criminals had been put into it the Power Puff Girls had tried their best to destroy a large slab of the metal, all they had managed to do was cause a large dent after an hour of working on it.

'So this is where the losers are held.' Blaze said. He kicked the metal door feeling it give not an inch despite the force he put behind the blow.

'Yes, this is it.' Brimstone said. 'They made it out of a super tough metal, and after tests were sure that it would hold against anything. They were fools, the metal is tough but they missed the weakness in their design. A solid box may prove difficult even for us, but this is far from solid.' Brimstone touched the edge of the door, the weakest point in the entire system, it was enough to hold back the idiots in side because of the energy field inside the box but outside was left undefended. The door was used to get new prisoners in as well as their food, so there seemed no need to put a field round this side as it was the one the guards used.

'So we shall we knock or just let ourselves in?' Blaster asked.

'We will let ourselves in.' Brimstone said as he started to fire his energy beams at the door, both the eye laser and his hand blast topped with his fire breath. Blaster joined him with eye lasers and hand blasts, but used his sonic boom ability in addition. Blaze having no special power made do with just using his eye beams and hand blast. The power of the three boys combined was a force so strong even the Adamantium could not resist it, the heat caused its atoms to expand weakening its hold on its own hinges, the force started to push it in buckling it in the centre and pulling it away from the wall. The invincible door lasted a total of three minutes before the attack finally overwhelmed it, the metal door flung off its hinges and crashed through the force field with enough force to shatter it. Now the impregnable fortress had been fully breeched.

'Whoa what was that?' Ace asked as the door narrowly missed him as it crashed through.

'I gots no idea.' Fuzzy said.

'It seems we have guests, how nice for us.' Him said in his deeply feminine voice. 'Oh do come in.' The three Rowdy Ruff Boys walked into the cell and now could see all of the worst criminals to ever reach Townsville, from regular powerless crooks to super villains like Him.

'I do not believe it, that is to say I can not accept the fact that you three are alive, because you are dead thus not alive and been dead could not be here and so I MoJo JoJo refuse to admit that it is you that are here, in this location because you are dead.' MoJo JoJo said when he saw the three boys he had created years ago, they looked different in appearance now but he recognised them strait away.

'If we 'aint here then who the hell just busted this prison wide open?' Blaze asked looking on MoJo with contempt.

'Yes, I should have seen that my brilliance could not have been defeated so easily, that my perfect plan to the defeat the Power Puff Girls could not be defeated by the Power Puff Girls because it was meant to defeat them. And as it was perfect it could not be stopped by those who it was meant to stop!' MoJo said in a very long winded way. 'Now you are back, that is to say you have returned for a location that was not here, you can take over Townsville for me!'

'Why would we take over Townsville for you?' Blaster asked.

'Insolence!' A short sentence for MoJo for once that was brought by his anger at his creation questioning him. 'I am the one who created you, that is to say my ideas and actions lead to your coming into being. So I MoJo JoJo am your maker, the one who made you, and as the one who made you, you are mine to use that is to say you three belong to me.'

'We belong to nobody, but you belong to us.' Brimstone said. 'You are all now ours to do with as we see fit, you live only to serve my bidding and nothing else.'

'And what if we say no?' This came from the false hero Major Man. 'What if we tell you to go take a hike, what are you going to do then little boy?' Major Man signed his death warrant as he pushed Brimstone's shoulder, he may have well just put a gun to his head and pulled the trigger. The Rowdy Ruff's needed no instructions for their leader, there was only one possible outcome and so with out speaking they acted. Major Man had only a second to realise he had made the worst mistake of his life before six beams of killer light hit him at once. The three Ruff's concentrated their eye beams on Major Man who was killed instantly by the intense heat. His flesh burned away and turned to ash and when the beams stopped only a black skeleton remained.

'Does anyone else have a problem following my commands?' Brimstone asked as he kicked the skull of Major Man into the wall turning it into black powder. Not a single person spoke up; they all just stared at the three boys who so coldly killed a man. 'Good, at least you're not all complete idiots. I have many things you are to do for me, but before we begin I have one order… worship me.' Brimstone's eyes flared open with mad joy; he saw himself as a God and now had his worshipers. He dealt out life and death at his whim, he had power and he was mad enough to think himself almighty and now could enjoy the position. Reluctantly one by one the prisoners got on their knees and began to worship the red Rowdy Ruff.

The Power Puff Girls and the Rowdy Ruff Boys were at school while the prison was been torn apart by the evil Ruff's. This day was going no better for the three boys, but was even worse for Boomer after the story of previous day had spread around. Bubbles now understood why Boomer had been so upset when she had helped him out, it was mostly because of this the class was focusing its bullying on him. They were saved from any further taunts when the hotline phone rang for the first time since it had been installed in the classroom.

'Power Puff Girls what's the problem Mayor?' Blossom had answered the phone before the first ring had even finished.

'Oh Blossom its horrible, the worst thing that has ever happened… I just can't tell you.' Mayor J. Mayor seemed genuinely in shock; after he heard the news even his thick skull had let it through. Over one hundred dead at best guess and the count was growing still.

'Girls it Miss Bellum.' The Mayor had handed the hotline over, unable to say anymore to Blossom. 'We need your help right now, people have been killed…'

'That's horrible, how many and where?' Blossom was shocked, the last murder in Townsville had been almost a year ago and she thought it more likely an accident then anything else.

'We think… oh its awful but we think over a hundred people have been killed by the Rowdy Ruff Boys.' Blossom quickly looked at the three boys who sat at their desks still with their entire focus on her. Blossom could not remember a tragedy as big as that in Townsville, more then a hundred people dead by the hands of just three boys. 'They attacked Townsville maximum security prison and somehow managed to take it, they have let out all of the inmates and they are now attacking the city. We have stretched every resource but at this rate the entire city will be destroyed!'

'Don't worry we are on it.' Blossom said hanging up the phone.

'Well what's up? Did the evil Rowdy's show up again?' Buttercup asked Blossom who looked a little ill, but Buttercup ignored that fact.

'Yes they have shown up… we can talk about this on the way.' Blossom said to Buttercup, then to the three Rowdy Ruff Boys. 'We are going to need your help.' The three boys jumped out of their seats, all to glad for the chance to get out of the class from hell, what they did not know was they were going from one hell to another.

'My God, how could they do this?' Brick said as he looked down on the smouldering remains of the great prison.

'Its awful, all those people are de…de…' Bubbles could not say it, her eyes filled with tears and she started to cry.

'I say we find those three and kick their butts!' Butch shouted.

'Hate to say it but I am with green boy here, lets find those Ruff's and teach them why it's not wise to mess with the Power Puff Girls.' Buttercup said smashing her right hand into her left.

'No, we can't go searching for them right now… we have other problems to deal with.' Brick said.

'Who died and put you in charge?' Buttercup asked Brick.

'He's right Buttercup, the prisoners are rioting all over town, and we have to stop them before it's too late.' Blossom said. Buttercup glared at her sister for a moment but eventually backed down.

'Fine, you call the shots Leader girl.' Buttercup said.

'Ok we will all have to split up and search for where the criminals are…' Blossom started to say but Boomer stopped her. He had been quiet so far as he had been trying to control his own emotions, like Bubbles he was made sick seeing the destruction the evil Ruff's had caused but unlike her he could not let that show.

'There is no need to search for them… MoJo is five miles to the east; Princess is half a mile north by north east, the Gang Green Gang is to the south about a mile and three quarters, Boogie-man is waiting in the dark of the old mine shafts, Sedussa is attacking the centre of town and the amoeba boys are hiding behind that tree over there.' Boomer said pointing to a large tree where the three Amoeba boys wee trying to hide.

'How do you know that huh?' Buttercup asked Boomer. 'You in cahoots with them or something?'

'Relax kid, Boomer's special powers include some kind of sixth sense. He could find a needle in a haystack with no trouble, and has never been unable to find us… which makes hide and seek and real drag.' Butch said.

'Ok I'll buy that story… for now.' Buttercup said moving her deadly glare from Boomer and putting it on Butch. 'And what is with this kid stuff? I have you know I am older then you are.'

'Well you dress like a kid, still wearing pretty little girly dresses and such.' Butch replied with a mean smile across his face.

'Hey what does what I wear have to do with anything? I am a girl dumb-dumb so I can wear dresses and such if I want to!'

'I never knew you had such a soft feminine side, maybe from now on I should call you Fluffy or something like that.' Butch said holding back the laughter that threatened to come spewing out his mouth like vomit.

'Try it and I will give you a knuckle sandwich that will send you back to next week.' Buttercup said shaking her fist at Butch.

'What ever you say Fluff…' He was stopped as Boomer put a hand over his mouth, possibly saving Butch from getting his head knocked off.

'Sorry Buttercup but Butch's mouth sometimes runs when he stressed or upset. I apologise for him.' Boomer said as he let go of Butch's mouth.

'Stressed or upset?' Butch asked as he moved his attention for Buttercup and back to his brother. 'Who says I'm stressed or upset…? I am as cool as they come, put water in my mouth and I will spit ice cubes out for you.'

'Whatever you say Butch, but we don't have time for you and Buttercup to slug it out right now.' Brick said. 'We have a lot of super villains running riot right now and a small army of regular crooks. Now we should deal with the big threats first, I think the police and army should easily hold back the normal criminals. But it's your call Blossom, your still in charge.' Brick noticed Butch wince when he said that, he knew Butch still loathed the fact that the whole group was controlled by Blossom but would tolerate it for a little longer at least.

'Your right Brick, we have to deal with the big threats first and as quickly as possible.' Blossom said. 'We will split up, Ruff's go after one villain and Puff's go after another. You boys can go after MoJo, the Gangue Green Gang and Boogie-man while we will go after everyone else. Try not to kill anyone, just incapacitate them and let the authorities deal with them later. When you're done come back here and we can decide what to do next.' Blossoms orders matched what Brick wanted to do exactly apart from one thing. The girls were letting them go after the least dangerous of all the criminals at large, Boogie-man was stuck in the dark, the Gangue Green Gang were as dangerous as street hoodlums and MoJo was only a threat with technology and all of his had been destroyed after his capture.

'Ok then, we'll go after MoJo JoJo, the Gangue Green Gang and Boogie-man as you order.' Brick said before he blasted off into the sky leaving a trail of red light behind him.

'Don't think I don't see what your doing girly, sending us off to fight the losers… if Brick had not told me not to I would have kicked your butt for that.' Butch said to Blossom with all the spite he could muster. Butch started down Blossom for a short period of time and then flew off after Brick leaving Boomer behind.

'You still don't trust us do you?' Boomer asked the three girls, he tried to hide the hurt in his voice but could not help it come out. Before any of the girls could answer Boomer flew off following the trail left by Brick and Butch.

The boys made short work out of Boogie-man, all it took was dragging him out of the mine shaft he was hiding in and let the sun take care of him. It took even less effort for them to stop the Gangue Green Gang; a few quick attacks left those guys out for the count. Butch spent the whole time complaining about Blossom sending them after weaklings, that at this rate he would never get a chance to show what he was made of.

'I mean look at these muscles, I am more ripped then Superman and I waste it all fighting these idiots.' Butch said dropping Ace on to the ground after pounding his face into a wall.

'I know how you feel Butch, but if we don't follow Blossom's orders now she will never trust us.' Brick said. 'And we did promise the Professor to follow her orders to the letter, and if we don't owe the girls anything we at least owe the Professor. So Butch you are going to have to just deal with it, until Blossom learns to trust us we will be nothing more then glorified sidekicks.'

'That just sucks Brick.' Butch said getting only a shrug from his leader. 'Well were done with these dimwits. Boomer where is the old monkey, I bet he will be surprised to see us again.'

'MoJo JoJo is um…' Boomer looked around trying to feel out where the mad Monkey was. 'Oh I have him; he is just outside our school.'

'The school hey… maybe we should wait a while, with any luck he will blow it up with those jerks inside.' Butch said smiling like a mad man.

'No Butch we cant do that!' Boomer shouted.

'Why not?' Butch asked Boomer. 'They deserve it, or have you forgotten how they have been treating us recently?'

'That's no reason to let them be killed Butch and you know it.' Boomer said.

'He's right Butch, and if we did let them die it would not do very much to convince the girls we are not evil.' Brick said. 'Come on lets get this over with.'

'As much as I hate working for those ungrateful runts I have to admit that this is fun.' MoJo JoJo said as his RoboJoJo crushed another building with a well placed missile. They had thought that all his technology was destroyed after his capture, but sensing the danger ahead he had quickly acted and put a few of his best inventions into storage. 'After all the years of incarceration where my freedom was not given, my ability to do as I wish denied and not been allowed to do that which I enjoy, that is to say take enjoyment from the act of doing, this rampage is one of my best, the top of the lot and over all better then any pervious events of the same nature.'

'Stop right there.' Brick shouted from above MoJo before firing his eye laser beams, the twin rays of light simply bounced off the reflective metal armour of the robot.

'What is this?' MoJo said. ' It appears that these are the good rowdy Ruff Boys, the opposite to the evil ones which are currently making me attack Townsville and if you ask me are all fruit-loops. Well if I can't get the not good Rowdy Ruffs, that is to say the evil versions of these boys that are attacking me now then I… whoa!' MoJo was stopped by the whole robot shaking violently to the right.

'You talk to much monkey.' Butch said as he rammed into the side of the robot as hard as he could causing it to stumble back a few paces. 'You might be laser proof but I bet you 'aint knuckle sandwich proof!' Butch once again attacked the robot hitting it with a powerful haymaker punch which very nearly toppled the colossal robot.

'Stupid little punk, very well I will say this in less words hen I usually use when forming complete and proper sentences which is…' MoJo was sent flying from his seat as Butch made another punch into the head of the robot, and despite its thick armour the power in the punch made a large dent appear.

'If you would just shut up a fight you might stand a chance here… I would not bet on it but still you have to try to win.' Butch said as he finished off with a quick side kick to the robots midsection before he moved off to a safe distance.

'My turn!' Boomer yelled as he flew at the Robot like an attack missile.

'I will take your advice and shut up while destroy you!' MoJo got back into his seat just in time to see Boomer attacking. He flicked a switch which put up a force field around the Robot, Boomer smashed head first into it and bounced off his head left throbbing.

'Butch keep him busy while I take care of the force field!' Brick yelled as he quickly dodged a barrage of missiles to go behind the enormous robot.

'And I thought you would give me something worth my power… oh well, come on monkey man lets see what you got.' Butch fired his eye laser beams at the blue field which encased MoJo and his robot. The twin beams did nothing to the powerful shield, not even when Butch pushed to his maximum and the red blasts covered the whole of the robot did it make a dent in the shield.

'Give up; there is no way you can get through my force field!' MoJo gloated from the safety of the cockpit.

'Not today MoJo JoJo!' Brick said from behind the robot. MoJo had time to turn it round to look at the red Ruff before the attack came at him. Brick had used the time Butch had bought him to build up a huge amount of static electricity. The charge flashed brightly in his hands, with enough power to keep a city running for a year and more then enough to overload the force field protecting MoJo. Brick fired the attack at the shield and watched as the bolt of electricity hit with pin point accuracy, the power causing the shield generators to explode and leave MoJo vulnerable again.

'Let's finish this off.' Butch said. The Green Ruff launched himself with his fist out in a punch, aiming for the back knee of the robot. Brick saw his brothers attack too late to act, but he tried to stop him any way.

'Butch stop you idiot or you will…' He did not get to finish as Butch's punch made contact with the robots knee and caused it to buckle under his strength. The giant robot fell like Goliath had done the delicate balance it had once completely lost. Butch now could see what Brick had tried to warn him about, the robot was now falling directly where the school was with the students and teachers still inside. Butch tried to move in and stop what he had done but it was too late, the robot was falling to fast and he could not recover so soon after an attack. Brick had kept his distance when he charged up the attack and could never make it there before the robot hit the school, it seemed like all was lost, but the robot stopped in mid fall.

'What the heck?' Butch asked no one in particular, it looked like the robot had stopped falling in midair with no reason at all.

'I could use some help here!' Boomer said with a strained voice. He was holding the robot up by himself, stopping it from crashing onto the school. Butch and Brick moved without hesitating, taking the weigh of the robot and forcing it the other way.

'I thought you were down for the count there Boomer.' Butch said as the robot fell safely onto the road.

'After hitting my head, you hit me over the head harder then that Butch.' Boomer said rubbing the spot he had hit the field, it had only stunned him but he had thought it best to stay down in case he could trick MoJo. When he had seen the robot about to hit the school Boomer had been able to make it just in time, taking the whole weight of MoJo's robot. Now he let Butch take care of the same monkey which had created them in the first place. A few seconds alone with Butch left MoJo seeing stars and in need of some serious dental work.

'Ok that's the lot for us, we are to head back and meet the girls again at the prison… come on guys.' Brick said. The three Rowdy Ruff Boys flew off leaving a battered and bruised MoJo JoJo for the police to deal with.

Back at the Prison the boys had been waiting well over and hour before the three Power Puff Girls came back. They looked worn out and beaten after facing the worst of Townsville's super criminals, while the boys had hardly broken a sweat dealing with the weaklings.

'Did you get all the ones we sent you after?' Blossom asked when she landed, no hello or asking how they were, just if they did as they were told.

'Yeah, it was not hard after all you sent us after losers.' Butch said earning him a sharp look from Brick, but Butch had been unable to help himself there he had in fact sugar coated what he wanted to say.

'Good, now we have everyone I want to know why your evil halves did this in the first place.' Blossom asked Brick as if he knew everything his other side did.

'I don't know why they did this, maybe they thought it would get one of us killed… or maybe just testing our powers and forcing us to show trump cards.' Brick said. 'Like it or not Blossoms I am not my evil side, I don't know what he is thinking or what he might do next.'

'I just want to go home; I'm tired and sweaty from the fighting.' Bubbles said.

'Sorry but there is another three hours of school still to go before you can go home and rest.' Buttercup said, she felt like going to school as much as been stuck in a room with Butch but there was no way round it.

'Well if we have everyone major I think the police force can handle the rest so let's head back to class.' Blossom said sounding more exhausted now then ever. Brick felt no pity for her; she had made a tactical mistake because she did not trust him and his brothers.

'Wait I can feel something.' Boomer said. 'It was hidden before, with the chaos going on but not I can feel it clearly. A demon that thinks of itself as "Him" is attacking the middle of Townsville.' Boomer looked out to the city, where in his eyes there seemed to be a large cloud of blackness, this was almost pure evil.

'Him… we should have remembered he was here. Ok Girls looks like we have one more fight before we go back to school.' Blossom said to her sisters as she readied her self to fly off and fight Him.

'No way I know about Him, and in your condition your no match for Him!' Brick said holding Blossom's arm tightly stopping her flying away. 'We can go with you and deal with Him; it's the best tactical move.'

'We don't need your help, we have beaten Him more times then I can count and we can beat him again.' Buttercup said forcing Bricks hand off Blossom's arm.

'Buttercup's right, we have defeated Him before so there is no need for you follow us, and that's an order Brick.' Blossom said.

'And what are we meant to do oh glorious leader?' Butch asked through clenched teeth.

'You can capture the amoeba boys if you like; they are still hiding behind that tree over there.' Blossom said as she pointed to the same tree the three amoeba boys had been hidden behind since the prison break.

'You have got to be kidding.' Boomer said, looking at the three incompetent criminals, but he was talking to thin air as the three girls had already flown off to fight Him.
