Heroes From Above: The Birth Of An Epic Saga
Disclaimer: I do not own the Powerpuff Girls. They are the Property of Cartoon Network and Craig McCracken. However I do own the ideas for this story.
A/N: This is the 3rd chapter everyone. Sorry it took me a while, school has caught up with my lifestyle so fast, that before you know it, I'm out of time during the summer of 2003. Well, I have put up a strong commitment, and I got myself a friend that will help with the producing of the following chapters, so things will flow smoothly again from now on. Thanks for your patience. R+R please!
CH 3: Falling in loveAs we return to our story, our six heroes are flying in the air, towards the Utonium residence. It has been a year and a half since the boys were "kissed" to death. Therefore, the boys had some trouble recognizing the surroundings. They flew past Mojo Jojo's volcano lair, and the boys just flinched the manic monkey going crazy every time the boys failed to eliminate the Powerpuff girls in the past. "That crazy nut, he must be going over some stupid plans again." thought Brick, as he looked back. Brick and his brothers are exactly the same age as the girls. They will be thirteen and a half in a month, and finally they are growing out of their five-year old like bodies. Not only does Brick and his brothers appear stronger by the will of the elements, they are also physically stronger, and more agile due to their growth.
The kids approach the Utonium house as they flew past the city, and into the suburbs. Blossom squinted a little bit to get a better view of the round holes, which are used as windows for the girls, on the second floor of the house. She aligned herself into position and flew through the hole on the far right. Her siblings and friends followed through the other holes. Boomer then muttered, "Sweet! No need to use the front door!" Bubbles replied, "We only use these windows when we go back and forth when we are responding to the hotline. We use our doors like always when we're not out saving the day." Blossom then told the boys that she is going downstairs to tell the professor about the boy's arrival. She told them that she hopes her "dad" would agree to let the boys stay. The boys just smiled and sat down and talked with Bubbles and Buttercup, while Blossom hovered down stairs to the professor's lab.
It turned out that the professor agreed to let the boys stay, and showed them to the room opposite of the girls' room. He also helped enrolled the Rowdyruff boys into Pokey Oaks Elementary. Pokey Oaks has really changed over the years. It has an advanced courses program that was funded by the government, to ensure the Powerpuff girls get the best education around the area that the hotline can be linked to. Besides, it is the only school that can afford to repair the damage done to the ceiling every time the girls smash through it to respond to a call. Basically, Pokey oaks has really became an elementary school and a high school combined into one.
After thanking the professor for allowing them to stay, the boys followed the girls outside. "Where are we going?" Brick asked. "To the Townsville mall. You boys need to get some new clothes for school." Blossom replied with a little giggle. Butch was feeling a little reluctant to have any change in his fashion style, resisted against the need of getting new clothes. "I don't want any new clothes!" he barked, as he stood in the doorway. But before he could lay a grip on the wall inside the house, Buttercup slipped behind him and pushed him out. He was a little distracted, because he was a sort of attracted to Buttercup, so he could not react to buttercup's actions in time. The push was quite strong, so Butch went flying just a little bit out the door. "Gah!!!!!" he yelled as he hit the ground, face first. He got up again, with a black eye, which was slowly fading as his superhero healing abilities kicked in. Noticing what she had done, Buttercup hovered beside him and asked if he was ok. She showed a worried face, while she was asking him if he was ok, and saying sorry, and all that. He looked at her, and just smiled. "That's ok. Just don't do it again, ok?" he said with a grin. Everyone else could not keep their laughter in, so they started laughing out loud. After they knocked it off, the kids then flew to the mall.
At the mall, the girls were sitting on chairs in a store, while the boys were coming in and out of the dressing rooms with different outfits. The girls just started approving, and disapproving certain outfits the boys picked. Butch came out of the dressing room after a while with a green shirt that has the logo USMC in bright gold on the front, and the Marine Corps emblem on the back. "Nice, really nice!" Complimented Buttercup. Finally, they were able to find themselves some outfits that they liked, and they purchased them. The kids just hovered around the mall, and window-shopping, they then passed by a girl clothing outlet. The girls decided to stop and look at the beautiful V-neck shirts in green, blue, and pink. The boys just can't help it but smile, when they noticed that the girls really liked the shirts. "If Blossom really likes that shirt, I'll buy it for her. I think that might be my chance to ask her out too." Brick thought, and as the thought of going out with her, almost made his face went bright red. Coincidentally, his brothers are just feeling the same way for Blossom's sisters.
Brick reached into his pocket and pulled out a wallet. "Hey, this wallet wasn't in my pocket before." He said to himself quietly. He opened it, and his eyes bulged as he counted a total of $500 in cash. "How did I get this much money?" he thought. It seems as though a wallet has miraculously materialized in his pocket. The other boys felt something touch them, and realized they too got the wallets, with the same amount of money in them. After he finished his thinking, he took Blossom's hand and walked in the store with her. Blossom blushed as Brick took her hand, and she thought, "Does he likes me in the same way I like him?" She looked back to see her sisters gasp lightly, as the other rowdyruff boys took their hands, and followed Brick. She was really surprised and delighted when she realized that Brick was buying the shirt she was looking at, as a gift to her. She then saw a little sparkle in his eyes, and she instantly knew that he had the same feelings that she felt about him. The boys paid for the shirts that they bought for the girls, and they then helped carry the bags for the girls, as they went home.
When they arrived home, the hotline rang. The same old muffled voice spoke on the other line. "Powerpuff girls! There's a huge fire out at the chemical plants in downtown! We need your help!" The panicking mayor babbled. "We're on it!" replied Blossom, as she told her sisters to get ready for action. "So much for peace and quiet." Butch uttered, as he sighed. The 6 kids then sped out of the windows, and towards downtown Townsville.
The kids arrived to find the place a blazing inferno. The kids split into 2 groups of 3 members to attack the blaze from two different positions. Blossom stressed it to her friends that doing that would prevent the fire from spreading. So the boys sped for the southern edge of the blaze, while the girls tackle the north and the center. Blossom noticed that some flames were creeping really close to a couple of propane tanks, so she flew down, and used her ice breath to put out the flames. Meanwhile, Buttercup and Bubbles were splashing water at certain locations with a backyard pool, which they ripped off the foundation of somebody's yard. They kept refilling the pool from a nearby lake. The boys, however, were just amazing. Every time Brick approaches a group of flames, they just suddenly extinguish themselves. "Weird." He muttered. His brothers too, were doing miraculous things. Boomer was somehow causing rain and water to put out the fire even though there wasn't a cloud in the sky before Boomer engaged the flames. Butch just was able to create a giant sand storm to extinguish the flames. He was pretty surprised by his own ability, as well as his brothers.
The girls have stopped most of the fire, when they noticed a group of workers trapped by a wall of fire. They flew down and landed beside them, putting out a section of the wall of flames out. The workers then fled down the cleared path, towards safety. The girls stayed there to make sure everyone of them makes it out of the blaze safely. Meanwhile, the boys were done with their area, and they closed in on the girls' location. They saw the girls ahead a couple yards away, and noticed that an acid storage tank behind the girls was tipping towards them. They knew they had to get the girls out of the way. The boys sped at the speed of light, and pushed the girls out of the way, just as the tank fell on the boys, and spilled its contents on them. Luckily their tough skin did not burn under the acid, and their clothes were strangely unharmed. The girls watched in horror as the tank landed on the boys, and began to dissolve everything else around them. They quickly blasted the tank away with their eye beams, and dragged the unconscious boys to safety.
The girls were really worried now, as they tended to the boys. "Why did they do that?" Bubbles uttered, almost bursting to tears. Boomer awoke, and heard her say those words. He replied in an exhausted voice, "We really like you. And we really care about you guys, a lot." Brick opened his eyes, groaned a little bit, and replied, "He's right, we kinda fell in love with you girls. Seeing you in danger like that, just worries us." Butch woke up a minute later, and nodded about the reasons why they took the blow. The girls just confessed their own feelings for the boys, and smiled in relief that the boys are ok.
They looked back to the city, and realized that the fire is finally under control. The girls hugged the boys and thanked them for saving their lives. They had their first kisses that night, and the couples flew back to the Utonium residence, hand in hand.
A/N: well that's the end for Chapter 3. I got my schedule working just fine, so Ch 4 is already in the making. Expect it to be published sometime around Feb. 7 to 14. As for now, have a nice day, and R+R!
