Chapter 11: The Rage inside Red

Somewei

November 6, 2005
12 a.m.

Bubbles paced the floor as she waited for Blossom to return. Her redheaded sister had left an hour ago, proclaiming that she was going somewhere. The only problem was that Blossom didn't tell where she was going or when she was going to return. Bubbles bit her bottom lip as she thought of possible places her sister could have retreated to.

"Bubbles!" shouted someone a little ways down the halls. The blonde looked up and noticed Kim, her elementary classmate in Pokey Oaks, calling her. The Asian teenager beckoned her comrade to her and Bubbles reluctantly walked toward Kim. Kim smiled once Bubbles caught up to her and explained why Bubbles called her; "The Professor wants to see you. Buttercup is already there. Do you know where Blossom is so I can get her?"

"No, I don't know where Blossom is. She said she was going somewhere an hour ago. Kim, do me a favor and keep an eye from Blossom's return," Bubbles replied quickly. Kim nodded as Bubbles left the girl to go see what her father wanted. She walked into a special room that was filled with computers, monitors, security systems and many more gadgets the professor used. Quickly, the blonde noticed her half-healed sister sitting on a chair and the professor, and in front of them strangely looked like a television. "Hi, dad."

John looked up, as did Buttercup, and smiled. He motioned for her to sit down and the blue-eyed girl complied. John sighed heavily as he looked between both girls. He hadn't noticed Blossom and from the look that Bubbles was giving him, she wasn't even in the building. So, he decided that he would get straight to the point why they were here.

"Girls, remember a few months ago I – we – had wondered if Ivy took over all over the world?" He paused and saw both girls nod. "Well, our question has been answered. Today, we found a TV that had been miraculously undamaged and I tuned into a News Broadcast. Here it is."

"PROFESSOR!" someone called. All three gazed toward the door and noticed Blossom bursting into the room. She seemed out of breath and slightly panicked. Panting, she spoke quickly, "I saw Ivy leaving out of her little palace. It was heading in a direction toward the eastern states."

"Turn on the TV, dad," Buttercup urged suddenly. "I think that she's finally taking a step to dominating the whole world!"

"Yes, but why now?" John muttered as he scratched his chin, thinking hard. Blossom looked toward the ground and bit her bottom lip. It was obvious that both incredibly adroit minds were trying to figure out what Ivy was plotting. Bubbles, on the other hand, already thought of an idea.

"Maybe because she was trying to get a foundation here at Townsville because she knew that this was one of the strongest cities here in America," Bubbles suggested. Blossom looked up and smiled proudly at her sister. It was genius, but Buttercup thought otherwise.

"She could've taken over New York, seeing how the Justice Friends are there, or San Francisco because the Justice League is there or Chicago because Major Glory is visiting. We have heroes all over the country, yet she chose a small town like ours," Buttercup said. Bubbles was stumped.

"Yes, but who's had a lot of wins like ours? Those heroes didn't save Christmas when they were five. Those heroes didn't stop the "scariest" creatures from inhabiting the Earth with total darkness. I could go on. Whether they believe or not, we're stronger so it would make sense that Ivy came here," Blossom said. The other three nodded in agreement.

"Before this conversation continues, let's see if she's hit any other states or countries," John interrupted. With a short pause, he looked at his daughters with a meek grin. "Anyone know of any news channels?"

"You could do WWN on channel 6 for global news or NNN for national news," Buttercup suggested. John nodded in response to Buttercup's recommendations. Turning it on to channel 16, he saw the news anchorwoman on the screen.

"Hello America, I'm Susan Bailey coming to you live here on National Network News," said Susan seriously. "It seems that the reason communications with Townsville, California have been down is because of one particular person whom they call Ivy. Almost a year ago, we had sent someone to Townsville to interview a famous movie star and ended up with bad injuries because Ivy. Now it seems that she's moving her rampaging domination eastward.

"Sources say that Washington, Organ, Nevada, Texas, Arizona and Idaho are all under the command of Ivy. Criminals, thieves and lawbreakers all alike are willingly helping Ivy in her obsession to domination. While, criminal threats are raising all over the country, Powerpuff Girls, Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup are rumored to be fighting against this cruel villain."

John changed the channel to WWN for global coverage. In the background, all three Powerpuffs pursed their lips together and clenched their fists. She was basically taking over the country like the way she did with Townsville. It was madness.

"Hello and welcome again to WWN," said the reporter. "I'm Bridgett Whitely reporting to you live. While America is sadly being taken over by evil villain Ivy, many countries, too, are, in fact, already taken over. The Prime Minister from England now joins us for his opinion on this matter."

"Yes, Bridgett," said the Prime Minister. "This evil woman who calls herself Ivy, has indeed taken over many countries. Her Majesty of England is now worried more than ever about England and its safety. She is also worried for the other countries, Germany, China, Australia and Japan…"

Before the Prime Minister could go on, Blossom turned in the TV off. Her fists were clenched as she gritted her teeth. She was beyond mad. The redheaded leader that this madness had to stop because if it didn't Ivy would take over and the girls had no hope whatsoever. The Powerpuff leader knew that the militaries around the world could be no match for her. And even if they tried to defeat her, she could get rid of them with a flick of her wrist practically.

Buttercup and Bubbles watched their sister intently, and quietly stood up. They knew what she was thinking, and they also were worried for the safety of their country, home and planet. Buttercup gave a heavy sigh and walked up to her leader.

"Hey Leader Girl, what are you planning on doing now?" Buttercup asked. Blossom didn't answer. She was afraid that if she answered she may say something to Buttercup that could hurt her feelings. Buttercup, she knew, was vulnerable to anything at the moment. Though Bubbles said that she, too, was vulnerable, Blossom refused to admit it. So, the redhead simply turned around and walked out of the room. Buttercup tried going after her, but was stopped by Bubbles.

"Don't. She needs time to think and heal," Bubbles whispered quietly.


Dandy watched Boomer day-by-day. Daisy had said that Brick was nowhere near turning his back on them and Dawn had said the same about Butch, but Dandy doubted Boomer's loyalty. He had been sucked so much into the Powerpuff Girl's morals that he was questioning every little thing that Ivy doubted. Dandy knew that he still obeyed Ivy's commands, but his remaining ideas still endured. And that, Dandy knew, she was going to have to do something about it. The blue Doom Girl wandered aimlessly around the palace searching for Boomer.

"Are you looking for someone, Dandy?" someone asked her from behind. The teenage girl whirled around and saw Princess looking at her with an annoyed face. Dandy could tell that the girl didn't like her or her sisters…mainly Daisy. Dandy glared at the auburn haired girl and turned her back on her.

"Leave me alone," snapped Dandy. Princess snorted as she watched the Doom Girl walk off. Princess knew exactly who she was looking for, and the girl was debating whether or not she should tell where Boomer was. With a loud sigh, Princess decided she should tell where he is for no apparent reason.

"Boomer's in Ivy's quarters with his brothers finding out their next objective," Princess called after Dandy. Bubbles' clone looked back slight and continued on toward Ivy's quarters. Maybe she could catch Boomer before he left. Jumping up into the air, Dandy flew off down the halls. Princess rolled her eyes as she watched the girl take off. She seriously thought that Dandy and her sisters were showoffs like the Powerpuff Girls were when they first became heroes. Lately, Princess had been more annoyed with the Doom Girls than she had with the Powerpuff Girls.

With a shrug of the shoulders, Princess once again began patrolling the palace, keeping an eye out for any enemy activity. Princess really hated this job. To her it was boring, but hey, at least it got Ivy off her back, and that was all that mattered.


Blossom walked down the halls of Ivy's palace. Up ahead of her, a silhouette of a teenage boy appeared before her eyes. Like always, the figure seemed familiar to her. Tears filled her vision as her thoughts turned to Brick. The figure seemed to remind her of him. She reached out to him, but the figure seemed to be getting farther and farther away from her grasp. Blossom stopped and with a loud gasp she felt someone punch her. She crashed through the thick walls of the palace. The redheaded leader looked up and saw Ivy standing before her.

Ivy frowned and got ready to punch her. Blossom cringed and waited for the attack, but as before her savior, the dragon came in front of her. It snarled at Ivy threateningly and the evil villain stepped back, growling in return. Blossom closed her eyes and felt the world around her swirling. She opened her eyes again and saw Brick. Like Ivy, he punched her and sent her back. Blossom felt her Egyptian daggers at the tips of her fingers.

Am I supposed to attack him? Blossom thought. She bit her bottom lip and prepared herself for Brick's incoming attack. Someone jumped into front of her and blocked Brick's attack. The figure turned around and revealed herself to be Princess. Blossom gasped and was quickly surrounded by darkness.


Blossom gasped as she sat up straight in her bed. She placed her hand on her forehead and sighed deeply. She had another confusing dream as usual. Except this one had to be the most confusing as usual. She understood that whoever the dragon was, would protect her from Ivy, but what was Princess' intention. Why had she helped her? And why were the daggers in her hands? It was all to puzzling for Blossom.

She closed her eyes and rubbed her temples as she began to ponder the meaning of the dream. With a loud sigh, she got up from her bed and walked out of her room. She watched as everyone passed down the hallways. The Powerpuff leader began walking toward a special room that everyone recognized as the 'Powerpuff Training Room.'

Once she entered the room, she grabbed her two daggers that were hanging by the door and looked further into the room. She shut the sliding door behind her and locked it. Pressing a button on a keypad near the door, Blossom waited patiently for her training to begin. Walking to the center of the room, she brought up her daggers and prepared herself for whatever came at her.

Quickly two swords swung at her and Blossom blocked them away with her daggers. Repeatedly she blocked and dodged anything that tried to harm her. Blossom stopped for a moment and closed her eyes. She needed to clear her thoughts. She is never going to save the boys if she was a wreck. She opened her eyes and her pink eyes showed a girl in distress.

I hope we can save them…Blossom thought to herself.


Brick watched as Dandy approached Boomer and asked if he could follow her so they could talk. Reluctantly, Boomer followed Dandy. Butch merely shrugged and continued down toward his new room. Brick just shook his head as he, too, walked toward his room. His face seemed emotionless as he thought of what happened previously between him and Blossom. She had looked frightened as he approached her. That was her problem.

Brick admitted he had an attraction toward Blossom when he was reborn, and when she returned from Stanford, his attraction increased, but his counterpart never even talked to him. Sure, she talked to his two brothers, but he was practically invisible to her. Brick gritted his teeth. He had given her chance and now she blew it. The redheaded teenage girl could try all she wants to bring Brick back, but he wasn't going to. He wasn't going to return to being invisible. Here he was noticed. Here he had a girl who actually paid attention to him. He wasn't invisible. He wasn't a popularity tool. He wasn't for show and tell anymore.

Brick was tired of being used and he was going to stay unused even if it meant turning his back on his mother, his adoptive mother, and his previous life. No one, not his mother, not the professor, not Mia, not the Powerpuff Girls and definitely not Blossom was going to bring him back.


Boomer sighed as he followed Dandy and said, "What do you wanted Dandy? Why am I following you? I have more important things to do, you know."

Dandy turned around and faced the teenage boy. Her face was solemn as she approached Boomer. He had his arms crossed and an annoyed expression on his face. Dandy smiled as she gaze at him and said, "Boomer, I have something to tell you. Something very important."

"What?" He snapped. Dandy smiled and put her hand behind her back. Boomer was beginning to get suspicious with Dandy's actions. She beckoned him to come closer and Boomer leaned in.

"This," she whispered and brought out a needle. She punctured his skin and added something into his system. He winced as Dandy pulled back. Boomer closed his eyes for a second and then reopened him. His blue eyes seemed emotionless as he stared at Dandy. She smirked and said, "What's your main priority?"

"Serving Ivy," he answered bluntly.

"What about the Powerpuff Girls? What about Bubbles?" Dandy questioned sternly.

"They're nothing, she's nothing," He replied.

"Good," She said. "Now you can go back to your room."


November 8, 2005

For the past two days the Powerpuff Girls had trained. Buttercup had regained three-quarters of her pride again and began boasting to everyone that they would beat the Rowdyruffs with one blow. Bubbles had just snorted and rolled her eyes. Bubbles was very happy that Buttercup was back, but the blonde was worried for Blossom. The redheaded leader felt responsible for all of the happenings lately and Bubbles knew that Blossom was emotionally unstable. True, Blossom could handle herself, but the blue puff knew that Blossom had a lot of doubt in herself.

Buttercup smirked as she walked down the halls and greeted anyone that she passed. She felt more confident and stronger ever since she began training. She didn't know how her and sisters were able to become this strong in two days, but they became strong from training in one day before, so maybe it was possible. A loud shrill alarm began to sound, telling Buttercup that she was needed in the Control Room. Quickly, Buttercup flew toward the room and found Blossom and Bubbles there, along with the Professor.

"Welcome Buttercup. Okay, let's get down to business," John said. "I'm very confident that you girls have become much stronger and I want to try to strike back at Ivy. Grant it, you girls may have to go against the boys and your clones, but I think that's the chance we'll have to take in order to put an end to Ivy's reign. You girls ready for another fight?"

"I am!" Buttercup exclaimed suddenly. John was slightly taken aback by Buttercup's sudden outburst, but thankfully he was used to Buttercup's excitement to fight. He looked at Bubbles and saw her smile and then glanced at Blossom and saw her nod.

"Okay it's settle. Bubbles, I want you to get the vials with the 'Everything Nice' in it to save the boys. Blossom, Buttercup, I want you to mainly focus on your counterparts and clones, okay? Alright, move out," John said. The girls obediently walked out of the room to go back toward to Ivy's palace. Bubbles looked at Blossom from the corner of her eye and bit her bottom lip.

"Blossom," Bubbles whispered. Blossom looked at her sister curiously. "Promise me that you'll be careful out there."

Blossom was a little shocked by the request, but nodded in agreement anyhow. "Okay, I will, but you have to promise that you'll be careful. I don't want to lose either you or Buttercup."

"I promise," Bubbles agreed.

"I'd ask Buttercup, but she's a bit reckless. Knowing her at the moment, she'd probably bring down the whole building by accident," Blossom joked. Bubbles giggled lightly as she imagined Ivy's palace coming down and Buttercup looking like a little kid who just broke his mother's expensive vase. Bubbles thought the look would be priceless.


"WE HAVE POWERPUFFS APPROACHING AT A QUICK SPEED!" warned Aaron through the intercom. Immediately the Rowdyruffs and the Doom Girls jumped into action. They ran outside and waited for the Powerpuff girls to come.

"Ready?" Brick asked. The other five nodded. "Attack!"


Butch and Dawn approached Buttercup and the green puff waited for them to come straight at her. She pulled her fist back and delivered the hardest punch that Dawn ever felt. The green DG flew back toward the palace and crashed into the walls. She tumbled down with rubble right behind her. Butch watched surprised with Buttercup's new strength. Butch turned around and saw Buttercup floating there.

"Time to say goodbye!" Buttercup said as she tried to punch him. Butch instantly grabbed Buttercup's fist and swung her around. Buttercup tried kneeing him in the stomach, but once again blocked. Buttercup growled aggravated, "I can't wait to get rid of you."

"Are you sure?" Butch questioned as he flung Buttercup off of him. She regained her composure as she eyed her counterpart. "Are you sure you'll want to get rid of me? If you do, I'll never be around again. If you keep fighting, you're not only going to hurt your opponent, but yourself. So, like I said, will you regret getting rid of me?"

Buttercup was shocked by the questioned. Would she regret getting rid of him?


Like Buttercup, Blossom immediately attacked her clone first. She gave Daisy a punch-kick combo and sent her flying. She smirked proudly and turned her attention to Brick. He, at the moment, was glaring at her. Her smirked disappeared as she returned the glare. In a blink of an eye, Brick and Blossom began their fight. Blossom punched Brick and Brick kicked Blossom toward the ground. Once she was close enough to the ground, she flipped over and landed on her feet. Before the redheaded girl could react, Blossom felt Brick's hand on her neck once again.


Bubbles froze as she saw Dandy and Boomer flying toward her. Her light blue eyes gazed toward the palace and she at once flew toward the palace. Boomer and Dandy were confused by her actions, but followed her at any rate. Bubbles glanced behind her and saw the two other teenagers following her. She looked back at the palace and braced her herself. She crashed through the huge window and began to search for the vials.

Dandy landed on the ground once they entered the palace and decided to let Boomer handle Bubbles. The blue ruff gladly took the hint and grabbed Bubbles by the ankle. Bubbles gasped out, not expecting Boomer at all. Boomer swung Bubbles around and let go once she was spinning fast enough. Bubbles screamed as she crashed into the hard wall.


Author's Notes:

Okay done with chapter 11. Finally. Sorry it took so long to get this up. My friend, Koorihana, got a kick out of the fact that I finished chapter 12 and was starting chapter 13 before I even finished chapter 11. Speaking of which, I know the ending it rushed, but I really didn't want to write the ending…oh well.
