Chapter 15: Insurgere Interfector, Pervincere Permagnus Pollentia

A shadowy figure stands in Hardly's old empty factory as the starless night falls again. He gasps and pants, clutching his side and cursing silently to himself. He stumbles across the room, but collapses to his knees weakly, growling and mumbling as he attempts to regain his strength.

A hot, blood red mist silently hisses as it appears without warning, and a tall, skinny silhouette comes into view. This new figure has large, claw-like hands and piercing evil green eyes. He glances down at Quasi, and smirks a little before speaking in a high-pitched, echoing trill.

"Something wrong, dear friend? You look a little.. down.."

Quasi whips his head around and looks at the visitor with wide eyes before snarling an angry response.

"Get out of here, Him."

"Well my, my.. that's no way to speak to your old partner!" Him's expression was that of mock surprise and fear.

"I don't need your help."

Him's face returned again to its menacing grin.

"Why, but Quasi, it looks as though it is quite the opposite! If anything you seem to need my help more than ever!"

"Get away from me, Him. It's nothing. I'm fine. Just the stupid antidote X."

Him begins to laugh in a deep, unearthly voice, before glaring evilly at Quasi.

"Ahh yes.. X powers always have a weakness.. I should've known you would have been beaten so easily." He said with a wide grin and a chuckle.

With that Quasi rose to his feet, a fierce anger burning inside of him at that comment. He suddenly throws both hands in front of him like slingshots, catching Him around the neck before he can even gasp. He then yanked his arms back again like a yo-yo, dragging Him across the floor until his astonished face is only inches from Quasi's.

"Don't you ever call me weak." Quasi said in a cold, deep voice that was dripping with fury.

Him's red face began to pale and his lungs began to ache as he tried to gasp for breath beneath Quasi's inhuman grip. Finally Quasi roughly let Him go, tossing him violently to the ground before turning around and walking deeper into the shadows of the factory.

Him just laid on the ground for a few moments, coughing and gasping for air and shaking uncontrollably. He looked up at Quasi and grumbled to himself, before weakly getting to his feet and following him cautiously.

"The girls have already been broken inside, Him. Their confidence has long been completely shattered, they're already emotionally dead. There's nothing more they can try to defeat me, all their powers have been exhausted. Had Professor Utonium not returned with chemical X, they would all already be dead."

Him listened in shock and even fear. He had not even the slightest idea of the extent of his new ally's power, and even the Evilest of Evil and Cruelest of Cruel was made speechless by Quasi's unreal strength.

"You.. You really did almost defeat them?" Him said in awe, "But nobody can defeat the Powerpuff Girls on their own!"

Quasi began to laugh in a sinister, mocking tone.

"Well apparently I can." He said simply, "I don't need your help, Him, I don't even know why I let you help me anyway."

Him grinned wickedly and walked towards Quasi.

"Because you take such joy in watching them suffer as well as I do, Quasi. We can stick together, as partners. Watch them crumble like stones beneath our fingers. It can still be great fun!" Him trilled, clasping his claws together gleefully.

"I'm through with fun," Quasi said, "I just want them dead, and I don't need your help to kill them."

"I can still help you, partner.. I can still haunt their minds with all the lives you've taken.. plague them with nightmares, make them hallucinate ...oh the possibilities! We must make them suffer while we can, partner, enjoy our moment of victory! " Him said, the confidence coming back in his sinister voice.

"No. There's no 'our' in this. Leave them to me now. I will destroy them myself." Quasi said simply.

Him growled deeply at this while transforming into his muscular state.

"You dare refuse the ultimate evil powers from Heck itself? Think of it, you could be even stronger! The greatest power in the universe, at your very fingertips... and you refuse it?" Him boomed.

Quasi just stood in silence, his back turned to his ex-partner in crime. He said then spoke in a quiet voice, seemingly ignoring Him's angry outburst.

"Get out of here. I don't need your power."

Him's eyes turned red with fury, and he suddenly unleashed a barrage of punches on Quasi's back.

"You don't NEED this power! You dare assume your power to be greater than I, the Ruler of Heck itself!" He roared while continuing to attack.

Quasi stumbled forward a few times, having been caught off guard by the sudden onslaught. He yelped in pain a few times, but soon he came back to his senses and his eyes burned with rage yet again. Quasi suddenly cried out and whirled around, catching both of Him's giant black claws in the air before they could land another hit.

"Leave. now." Quasi said simply while Him continued to struggle under Quasi's grip, but eventually gave up and returned back to his normal size.

When Quasi finally released him he nervously stepped backwards a few times, glaring spitefully at Quasi, before shouting a final message.

"Have it your way, fool, but don't come crying to me when I see you in Heck." He said before vanishing dramatically in a puff of red smoke.

Once Him was out of sight, Quasi began to laugh softly to himself as he thought of how he would one day kill Him to prove him, and the whole world, wrong. He had to prove to all that he WAS the most powerful being on earth, even more so than the Evilest of Evil and the Cruelest of Cruel.

But he had other things to do first.

As he felt his energy being restored, he began to laugh sinisterly as victory drew ever closer, and the Powerpuff Girls' final moments were upon him.

A young woman walked along the streets of the city of Townsville, grasping the hand of her 4-year-old daughter. She stopped for a moment to look up at the gathering black clouds in the sky hesitantly, before opening up her umbrella and continuing to walk.

She gasped as her child was suddenly roughly wrenched from her hand, and a mixture of screaming and maniacal laughter filled the damp, humid air. Quasi brought the child up close to his face, grinning and chuckling as the young girl wept, before throwing her aside and wrapping his tentacle-like arms around the mother's waist.

Quasi looked to one side, smirking a an astonished group of people waiting at a bus stop, before throwing the terrified woman full force into the crowd.

He walked forward into the street casually, as though the horror going on around him was just a game. A taxi slammed on the brakes to avoid hitting him as he stood in the middle of busy downtown traffic.

"Eh, get out of the road ya jerk! What are you doing!" The middle-aged taxi driver shouted impatiently.

Quasi turned his evil red-eyed gaze toward the scowling driver, before lashing his arm through the cab's windshield like a whip, sending shattering glass flying everywhere and wrapping tightly around the petrified driver's neck.

Quasi yanked the man from his car through the broken windshield suddenly, and then hurled the man upwards and then down through the roof of a nearby mini-van.

Three children sat quietly, bored looks on their faces, watching DVDs while their parents argued about where they were. The little children sat mesmerized by the TV, before screaming wildly in surprise when the cab driver's bruised and bleeding head came crashing through the roof of their car.

In the next instant the car was thrown from the road and through the window of a small store, causing the family inside the car and the shop's customers to scream and holler in surprise.

Quasi made quick work of destroying the rest of the surrounding area, causing mayhem and chaos wherever he went. People were left dead and injured, and citizens fled the city in large panicked crowds, trampling over those too weak to save themselves.

Brio, Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup were already on their way towards downtown, prepared for an epic battle. Each of the girls were nervous though, their confidence still shattered from Quasi's previous and near-fatal attack. Not to mention each of them were also riddled with questions about this 'new power' that Brio sensed deep inside them and was going on and on about, and if they would be able to reach it in time to defeat Quasi, if at all.

I.. I wonder what my power is.. Bubbles thought to herself while flying along and looking curiously at Brio. And how does he know we even have these powers?

Do I really have a fire power inside me? ...how do I even know how to use it? Blossom thought in wonder. I already have ice and fire breath.. But this power that Brio showed me was different... stronger.. But how can I have such a great power?

I'm still skeptical of this new guy.. He seems nice, but ..so mysterious.. I ..I don't know if I can trust him, Buttercup thought, And how could I have some kind of hidden power? I'm already the toughest one.. And I still got beaten..

Sensing each of the girls' doubtful thoughts, Brio turned to them each and smiled.

"I know you all have great potential.. Someday we'll awaken each of your powers, and you'll be amazed at how mighty each of you can become!"

At this each of the girls smiled back at Brio, a new feeling of security and confidence washing over each of them.

"I'm going to help you do so when the time comes, but for now, we've got a fight to finish." Brio said as his voice became serious again.

Quasi snickered as he wrapped his long, bony fingers around the head of a tiny baby boy and pulled it straight from his mother's arms, as though it were a baseball. He reared it back and prepared to throw it across the street and into a building, against the begging and pleading of its horrified mother.

Quasi gasped when he suddenly felt the small baby wrenched from his hands and an invisible force rush into his gut, knocking the air out of him. The rush of air swirled around him and stopped a few feet away facing him. The force was revealed to be a ruff with spiky long-ish metallic white hair, teal eyes, and a white, Rowdyruff style shirt.

Quasi turned to his attacker and growled, scowling at this foolish new foe. Brio stood smirking at Quasi, before handing off the child to its mother and instructing her to run for safety.

"Just who do you think you are, foolish boy?" Quasi bellowed.

Brio turned to Quasi and glared, the smug look on his face disappearing and his eyes becoming very serious.

"We've come to stop you." Brio announced. "This madness ends right now."

"We?" Quasi looked behind him and saw the Powerpuff Girls standing in fighting stance, glaring and gritting their teeth at him.

Quasi then burst out laughing, causing the girls and Brio to clench their fists in rage.

"So the girls have returned for another thrashing, only this time they brought along Mr. Hero to save the day?" Quasi said in between snickers.

"Heh.. If you really think a new ruff will save you, you are sadly mistaken."Quasi smirked and then began to power up.

He began to emit a dark energy which encircled him, causing the young heros to gasp in horror. He then morphed into a being made of solid steel, right before their very eyes.

When the transformation was complete, Quasi grinned at the astonished looks on each of their faces as they gawked at Quasi's new invincible form.

"Just try to hurt me, your weak attacks can no longer harm me."Quasi chuckled at the angry looks on their faces. "But I'll quite enjoy watching you try."

Buttercup was the first to leap forward to attack. She slammed her fist into his chest, but shrieked in surprise when she found the metal to be too hard for even Powerpuff strength to break.

Blossom and Bubbles hurled themselves at Quasi as well, hoping that three puffs at once could overtake the powerful metal. But Blossom and Bubbles too recoiled when the force of their own punches was painfully bounced back through their hands and arms.

Quasi began laughing maniacally as each of the girls started attacking at once, only to howl in pain as their attacks made not even the slightest dent in Quasi's metal shell.

Finally Quasi had had enough fun watching the girls try to attack him, and suddenly he sprouted a third arm from the middle of his chest, grabbing all three girls and hurling them into a nearby building.

At that, Brio suddenly burst into flames, instantly becoming fueled by only his fire powers, otherwise known as Bruciare. He leapt in the air full force towards Quasi, his eyes blood red and his shaggy hair and ponytail flaming.

In the instant it took to be upon the astounded Quasi, Brio had quickly formed a red hot flame in his right hand. He hit Quasi with a powerful punch in the jaw, causing him to cry out as the metal instantly melted beneath the scalding temperature.

Brio planted a kick in Quasi's face, using it for stability and pushing off high up in the air, flipping around a few times before landing on the ground a few feet away.

Both Brio and Quasi quickly return back to their normal state, staring each other down with icy glares.

"Heh.. Not bad. Lets see what else you can do," Quasi stood up straight, lowering his arms to his sides, "I'll give you a free shot. Lets see what you're made of."

Brio's eyes still remained serious and determined as he placed his hand solemnly over his heart.

"You are definitely going to regret that."
