I don't own the Powerpuff girls or any related characters. I do own Leviathan and the six dark puffs.
Blossom walks in the front door, slips her shoes off and immediately heads upstairs. From the living room, Bubbles and Buttercup both notice her enter.
"Hey Blossom!" calls Bubbles, "Come in here and play this game with us!"
"No thanks…" Blossom goes upstairs and to the girls' room, shutting the door behind her. Bubbles looks at Buttercup with a confused expression on her cute face. Buttercup shrugs and continues playing the video game the two had been playing; now taking advantage of Bubbles not paying attention and beating her. Bubbles looks back at the screen and sees "Player 1 wins!" flashing on it.
"Hey! You cheated!" She yells at Buttercup, swinging a pillow at her. Buttercup grins and ducks then smacks Bubbles with a different pillow.
"I didn't cheat! You just weren't paying attention, so you lose." Bubbles growls and throws the pillow at Buttercup, hitting her in the face while she's grinning. Buttercup then gives a small battle cry and tackles Bubbles, pinning her against the side of the couch. Bubbles shrieks and tries to push Buttercup off of her, without much success. "Gotcha now Bubs!" Buttercup smirks at her. Bubbles continues struggling against Buttercup's hold.
"Let go of me already!" Buttercup shrugs and lets go of Bubbles' arms. Bubbles sits up and glares at her, before picking up her controller and starting the game over. "You are such a cheater," Buttercup blows a raspberry at her and the two go back to playing their game.
The Next Day
Bubbles and Buttercup are walking home from the grocery store. It's a warm day, so neither girl is wearing anything heavy. Buttercup is just wearing her workout clothes, which consist of a green tank top, black shorts, and tennis shoes. Bubbles is wearing a yellow blouse with a blue skirt, and white flip-flops. The streets are fairly empty, which is odd for this time of day. Neither girl mentions this to each other, but both are slightly creeped out.
"Hey Buttercup, why didn't Blossom want to come with us? She doesn't have any homework or anything." Buttercup shrugs.
"I dunno, she's been acting kinda…uh what's the word…uh…paranoid! That's it! She's been acting really paranoid since yesterday."
"What do you think happened?" again Buttercup shrugs. They walk past the Kindergarten, both looking at it as they walk past. Bubbles raises an eyebrow when they walk past the playground. There is a girl, around their age possibly older but not likely, sitting on a swing swaying slowly back and forth letting her feet drag on the ground. She has long hair that is colored strangely. At the roots it is yellow. About a third of the way down it fades to orange, and in the last third of her hair fades into red. Her eyes, which are just as strange, are a burning blue-white. She wears a white tank top, a light blue skirt, and purple flip-flops. Suddenly another girl, the same age, appears in the front the girl on the swing. This new girl is wearing a pale pink tank top, a white skirt that slowly fades to red at the bottom giving it the appearance of being drenched in blood, and black shoes. Her hair is white and done up in pigtails and her eyes are fierce orange. She shoves the first girl backward knocking her off the swing. The first girl looks up at the new girl. The second girl snarls at the first.
"I can't believe Father is making me work with your pathetic ass. Why couldn't Blitz come with me? At least she's not a pansy ass wimp like you, Blaze." The first girl, Blaze, stands up and brushes her skirt off, staring down at her feet.
"I'm sorry Blood…" Blood snorts and crosses her arms.
"Whatever, just don't get in my way! We're here to scope the place out and see how much effort it will take to obliterate these humans and find Malebolgia. Then we'll kill him and his pathetic little princesses, especially that damned Belial…" Blaze nods, and then notices Bubbles and Buttercup. The two puffs have set down their groceries and moved in. Buttercup catches Blaze's look and goes into a defensive stance. Blood looks up at the two puffs and grins. "Well, Well, Well, and I thought today would be boring,"
"Who are you two? And what are you doing here?" asks Buttercup, narrowing her eyes at Blood's comment. Blaze straightens up a little looking Bubbles up and down, her gaze stopping on Bubbles' feet for a moment, before moving back up to her eyes. Blood grins and cracks her knuckles.
"Name's Blood, and this weak little queer next to me is Blaze. We're just here on personal business, but we'll gladly kick your asses," Bubbles goes into a defensive stance, looking back and forth between Blood and Blaze.
"Well I'm Buttercup and this is my sister Bubbles. We're two of the Powerpuff Girls and if you're looking for a fight feel free to start something," Blood's grin becomes eviler.
"Fine then Butterbitch, I'll be glad to take you. The wimp will take your sister." Blaze flinches at Blood's insult, and locks eyes with Bubbles. Buttercup flies at Blood and punches her right on the bridge of her nose. Blood doesn't even flinch, she only grins more. "Is that the best you got? You little "Powerpuffs" are powerless against us Darkpuffs!" Blood grabs Buttercup's arm and throws her across the playground. Buttercup spirals and smashes into the jungle gym, tearing it completely apart. She crashes into the ground creating a ditch while she flies backward. Blood chuckles and flies after Buttercup, leaving Blaze to deal with Bubbles.
Blood and Buttercup
Buttercup stands up dizzily, just in time to have Blood's fist smash into her stomach. Buttercup doubles over, all of her breath forced from her lungs along with some blood. Blood kicks Buttercup away, sending her flying into the air. Buttercup manages to get her balance and fires a green beam at Blood. Blood catches the beam and easily holds it off with one hand. She fires a maroon beam of her own through Buttercup's. Buttercup quickly flies out of the way and right into Blood's knee. Blood knees Buttercup in the stomach several more times then kicks her back down into the ground. Buttercup crashes into the ground and weakly struggles to sit up.
In under a minute Buttercup is already worn out. She has cuts and scrapes all over her, her right arm feels broken from Blood's kick earlier, she has a large bump on her forehead, and she is coughing up blood every few seconds. Blood appears in front of Buttercup and pushes her back into the ground with her foot. She grins at the weakened puff, her grin filled with sadistic glee.
"Had enough already? We're just getting started B-cup," Buttercup growls weakly and fires her eyebeams at Blood. Blood smacks them aside like they're nothing and grins. She begins crushing Buttercup, driving her further and further into the ground. Buttercup grits her teeth, trying to hold in the pain shooting through her. Blood pushes herself up, using Buttercup as a jumping board, and smashes both her knees into Buttercup's stomach. Buttercup jerks up, coughing out more blood. She falls back onto the ground, her eyes watering and her entire body throbbing in unbearable pain, and yet she still holds it in. Blood grabs Buttercup's hair and lifts her up, Buttercup hissing in pain. She then swings Buttercup and smashes her into the ground. She continues doing this a few more times before she throws Buttercup into the air. Blood grins, "I'm going to love making you beg for me to kill you,"
Blaze and Bubbles
Bubbles watches Blood easily beat the shit out of Buttercup and turns back to Blaze. She is completely terrified, if Blaze is even half as strong as Blood there's no way Bubbles can beat her. Blaze just stares at Bubbles, that same sad/interested look in her eyes. Bubbles gulps and decides she may as well go down in the blaze of glory (pun intended), and charges at Blaze. Blaze just watches her, her eyes watching Bubbles' every movement. Bubbles throws her fist at Blaze, who dodges at the last second. Blaze turns and looks at Bubbles, before getting an impish smile on her face. Before Bubbles can right herself and land, Blaze reaches out and grabs her waist. Bubbles shrieks and then finds herself struggling not to break into giggles when Blaze begins squeezing her waist. Bubbles is able to right herself and land, but her knees are buckling and she is desperately trying to pry Blaze's hands off her waist.
Blaze grins and pulls Bubbles to her. She pulls Bubbles' arms over her head and holds her there with one hand. With her other hand, she reaches up Bubbles' blouse and begins scribbling her fingers over Bubbles' flat tummy. Bubbles tries to hold in her giggles, knowing that she won't be able to stop if she gives in. Blaze swirls her finger in Bubbles' belly button then scribbles up her waist, across her ribs, into her armpit, and back down. Bubbles is now jerking and struggling to get away from Blaze. She kicks Blaze in the shins and knees several times, but doesn't even phase the "Darkpuff". Blaze slowly leads Bubbles backward while she continues tickling the puff's sensitive upper body. Bubbles keeps thrashing and trying to hold back her giggles, but before she can stop herself she gives in and begins giggling like a mad girl. Blaze grins at this and bumps into what she was looking for. While Bubbles is thrashing and giggling Blaze sits down on a little bench she noticed earlier, pulling Bubbles down on her lap.
She continues tickling Bubbles' tummy, the puffs thrashing and jerking movements making Blaze smile and sigh dreamily. Blaze then lets her eyes wander back down to Bubbles' feet. She licks her lips and shoves Bubbles forward. The giggling puff falls to the ground, still giggling and rubbing her stomach trying to make the tickling aftershock go away. Suddenly she shrieks when she feels Blaze grab her ankles and lock them between her knees. Bubbles tries to pull her legs free, but Blaze is too strong. Blaze smiles coyly at Bubbles, dragging one of her fingernails up and down the sole of Bubbles' flip-flop.
"Your name is Bubbles right?" Bubbles nods, now whimpering and struggling harder than before to pull away. "Well you're very pretty Bubbles, and so ticklish. You have such pretty feet too, I wonder…are they ticklish too?" Bubbles begins thrashing harder, but still can't pull her feet from the hold of Blaze's knees.
"Please don't tickle my feet! Anything but that, just please don't tickle my feet!" Bubbles begs her. Blaze traces around the sole of Bubbles' flip-flop with her fingernail, seeming to consider Bubbles' pleas. She then takes her hand off Bubbles flip-flop making Bubbles relax, thinking she was going to let her go. Blaze then flips both of Bubbles shoes off, letting them fall to the ground. Bubbles shrieks and begins pulling away again. Blaze stares at Bubbles' soft creamy white soles, wearing a dreamy expression and a small smile.
She slowly drags one fingernail down Bubbles' left foot, making the puff start laughing and squealing. Blaze's smile grows and she begins scratching one finger along each of Bubbles' wiggling soles. Bubbles screams and laughs, becoming red in the face. Blaze adds another finger on each hand and continues scribbling along the pair of sensitive soles.
"Giddy, Giddy, Giddy, Tickle, Tickle, Tickle little Bubbles" Bubbles screams and laughs more as Blaze adds two more fingers. Finally Blaze adds all five fingers on each hand, tickling all over Bubbles' poor defenseless feet. Bubbles screams, laughs, and cries. She now has no more strength to keep struggling. Blaze stares dreamily at Bubbles' wiggling soles, which are turning a cute shade of pink, and drinks in Bubbles' sweet melodious laughter. She grabs the toes on Bubbles' right foot and pulls them back. She then begins tickling on the base of Bubbles' toes, making her scream louder and begin fighting again. She tickles the spaces in between Bubbles' toes with one hand and scribbles all over her other sole with her other hand. Bubbles hiccups and continues laughing, now falling into silent laughter. She cries and hiccups, not able to find the strength to beg Blaze to stop. Blaze looks up when she hears Buttercup scream in pain and Blood chuckle with sadistic pleasure. She grabs Bubbles' ankles and then begins tickling Bubbles' soles with her tongue. Bubbles laughs harder still, no longer able to do anything but lie there and laugh helplessly. Blaze flicks her tongue along Bubbles' soles, takes long torturous licks up and down, slips her tongue in between Bubbles' toes, and licks her toes. Bubbles begins praying for Blaze to get bored and do something else, or for someone to just kill her and make the horrible tickling stop.
Blaze hears one final scream from Buttercup, this one longer and louder than the last. Blood walks up to her and glares at her, with a disgusted look on her face. Blaze quickly lets go of Bubbles feet and sits there staring at Bubbles, who just lies on the ground and continues to laugh and cry. Blood backhands Blaze, knocking her to the ground. Blaze rolls over and tries to push herself up on her elbows, but is shoved back down by Blood's foot. Blood growls at her and kicks her in the side.
"Come on! It's too late to look for Malebolgia; this took longer than I thought. Come on, we need to get home," Blaze wipes her watery eyes and nods. She stands up and the two vanish. Bubbles is too tired to move, and doesn't even know if Buttercup is still alive. One hour, maybe two, passes and that's when Blossom and the Professor arrive.
"Oh my God! Bubbles! Buttercup!" the Professor runs up to Bubbles and checks on her, while Blossom flies over to check on Buttercup. "Bubbles, honey, are you okay?" Bubbles nods and weakly wipes her eyes before hugging the Professor tightly.
"I'm okay Dad, but Buttercup…"
"DAD! BUTTERCUP NEEDS HELP NOW!" yells Blossom. The Professor picks Bubbles up and runs over to where Buttercup and Blossom are. Buttercup is a battered mess. Her face is barely recognizable, both of her arms are broken in several places, she is missing a few patches of hair, her legs are broke, and she is covered in blood and lying in a huge pool of it. Blossom lifts Buttercup gently, making her moan in pain.
"Take her back to my lab now! Get her cleaned up and somewhat patched up. We'll be home as soon as we can." Blossom nods and takes off, being careful to keep from causing her sister any more pain. The Professor looks at Bubbles. "Who did this to you girls?" Bubbles gulps.
"They called themselves the Darkpuffs, Dad." The Professor walks back to the car with Bubbles, making sure to pick up her shoes on the way, and together they drive back to their house breaking several speed limits. A girl the same age as the puff peeks out from the bushes near the kindergarten building. She has medium length red hair that is faded black in several places and bright yellow eyes.
"Oh no…they know where we are…Daddy's not going to like this…"
