Author Notes: Heya people, welcome to chapter fourteen, and I must say that I made another long chapter to please you guys. You know, I hate those long periods where I can't write anything, but I love it when I just write one sentence and then BAM! I'm writing a chapter. OMG! I have six more chapters to write for this story before it's over. Wow. This will be my first story to ever be completed. Cool. Anyway, from here on out the chapters will probably be longer than the average chapters I've written. Anyway, on with the chapter…
Chapter 14: The Traitors
Somewei
"I can't believe they beat us!" Ivy roared angrily. Princess, Sedusa, Brick, Butch, The Doom Girls, Aaron, and Roberta all cringed (well, except for Brick and Butch) at Ivy's yelling. She shook with anger as she turned her back on them and looked outside a huge window in the computer room. "We had a full proof plan. The Doom Girls and Princess and Sedusa distract Boomer and the Powerpuff Girls while the boys get to the facilities. How in the hell was Blossom and Buttercup able to get to the facilities?
"And Brick! You just left, enabling the girls to do what they do best – save! What is wrong with you. Daisy, please tell me how the Powerpuff Girls were able to beat you. Last time I checked, they were no match for you! I thought that a simple plan like this would be easy, but can somebody please tell me how the Powerpuff Girls were able to humiliate me like this – with my best fighters!" Ivy screeched enraged.
She clenched her fists and turned around. Her piercing green-eyes stared straight at all her servants as if she was trying to read their minds or if she was searching their soul. Princess felt a chill go up her spine as Ivy turned her eyes on her. The redhead was relieved when she turned her eyes on Aaron. The poor teenage boy stood rigid as he tried to look brave. Princess felt bad for the poor kid. The female looked at Brick and Butch as Ivy turned her gaze on them. Butch let out a bored yawn and Brick raised an eyebrow, obviously unfazed by her cold stare. Ivy stopped looking at the crowd in the room and looked out the window again.
"It has come to my attention that continuos battles between the girl's has proven useless. Yes, we may have damaged Buttercup's pride, but she is getting it back with each victory they achieve. Yes, we have injured Blossom's hope for the future, but I believe Blossom has something up her sleeve, and don't get me started with Bubbles. So, to cure this disease of the Earth, I have decided to take a different approach. It's like the old human saying goes – 'If at first you don't succeed…try, try and try again,'" Ivy remarked calmly. There was an awkward silence in the room, until Brick broke the silence.
"What do you have in mind?" He asked the question that was on everyone's mind. Though no one could see, due to her back facing them, a smirk appeared on her face. She crossed her arms as her eyes looked toward the direction of the Powerpuff base.
"It's simple really. It seems that trying to get rid of a Powerpuff by using a Powerpuff or their counterparts has failed, and trying to break them down was also useless, I've decided to go for one weakness that every hero has in common – their heart. Oh and I'm not talking about the real heart. No, I'm taking about attacking them indirectly through their family and the people they care about," Ivy said proudly. "We attack their father, mother and for Boomer we attack either Bubbles or his mother. You don't mind do you, Brick? Butch?"
"Not at all," Brick replied before the green ruff could get a word in. Ivy nodded happily. Butch looked at his brother with a disturbed face. Butch figured that Brick would say no to have Ivy use Ms. Bellum against Boomer, but it seems the evil in Brick has increased. The 17-year-old teenage boy glanced at Daisy and frowned deeply. He knew that his brother was like this because of her.
Butch looked back at his brother and opened his mouth to protest, but before Butch could get any words out of his mouth, Brick nudged him and shot the green ruff a look that read clearly, 'Shut up.' Butch glared at the red puff and crossed his arms over his chest. He would need to have a talk with his brother once Ivy dismissed them.
"Tell me, Ivy," began Daisy boldly. "How do you plan to get Professor John Utonium, Sandra Keane-Utonium and Ms. Sara Bellum here without the Powerpuffs detecting that something is wrong?"
"Good question, Daisy. I, in fact, plan to get all three over here with the help of HIM and Mojo Jojo. You see the only person that distract the girls long enough is HIM because only he knows each fear of each girl easily. Now as for Boomer, am I sure his fear will be written all over his face. While HIM distracts the girls, Mojo Jojo will sneak in and capture all three before HIM is even finished with the girls," Ivy explained. "Now as for using Bubbles against Boomer, I have devised a plan to capture her."
"Interesting. Will we have a role at all in this little scheme of yours?" Dandy commented. Ivy turned around and looked straight at the Doom Girls with a frown.
"No," she said coldly. The three girls looked at her with puzzled expressions. "Do you honestly think that after your little show with the Powerpuffs I'd let you back on the battlefield? During that time, you three will be undergoing the most intense training until I see fit that you can defeat those three girls with a flick of your wrist."
"How about us? Or are we to endure the same punishment as them?" asked Brick. Ivy glanced at him.
"No, I will need you, Butch, Aaron and Princess helping," Ivy remarked and then turned her icy glare on Roberta. "As for you Mrs. Sanchez. You have proven worthless to me. Princess, take her to the prisons and lock her in a cell."
Roberta looked shocked at Ivy's action and suddenly felt a pair of hands grab her arms and started dragging her out of the room. The female scientist looked at the person dragging her out of the room and saw Princess giving her a sincere sympathetic look. Evidently, the girl didn't agree with the evil woman's cruelty. Ivy dismissed everyone else and looked out the window again with a smirk on her face.
"Let the games begin," She murmured.
"She's a pest!" Buttercup muttered as she paced in her sister's room. Blossom's pink eyes followed her sister as she walked back and forth across her room. All day Buttercup had been saying that Ivy was a pest and other inappropriate names she shouldn't have even mentioned, and it was really starting to get on the pink puffs nerves, but being a patient girl, she tried ignoring her sister. That was until Buttercup came into her room and started pacing.
"Buttercup! Please just drop it! Yes, we know that Ivy is a pest, and an idiot and a brainless airhead and all the other names you've mentioned all day, but please! It's getting annoying now!" hissed Blossom as she sat down on a chair. Buttercup grinned sheepishly and sat on her sister's bed.
"I can't help it. I'm bored and I have nothing better to do unless I sit around all day and watch Bubbles and Boomer make out. I don't think so!" Buttercup explained with a shudder at the thought. Blossom chuckled lightly and crossed her arms over her chest.
"So you decided to annoy me to entertain yourself?" Blossom questioned.
"Sorta…I figured that if I said stupid stuff about Ivy and said random things, you'd lighten up and laugh. You haven't been doing that in awhile. In fact, you haven't been doing a lot of things lately and it's been bothering me," Buttercup proclaimed with a grin on her face. Blossom smiled and shook her head.
"Don't worry Buttercup. As soon as we defeat Ivy, everything will go back to normal. Well…with the exception that Bubbles and Boomer will be making out every five minutes. Just think, BC. The sun will shine again, birds will sing, the cool breeze with hit against our faces as we fly and you'll be pounding Butch," Blossom said, imagining Townsville the way it used to be. At the mention of Butch's name, Buttercup's grin faltered into a frown.
"Leader Girl, do you honestly think that we'll get the boys back and we'll defeat Ivy?" the green puff asked curiously. Blossom closed her eyes and sighed.
"I think that we'll get Butch back. I sensed something in him, but Brick, I have my doubts. I hate to think that we'll have get rid of him when we get rid of Ivy and the Doom Girls. As for Ivy…yes…I believe we will win this war," Blossom answered truthfully.
"Blossom, Bubbles told me you have premonitions and visions. Do you doubt we'll get Brick back because of what you've seen?" Buttercup mumbled quietly. Blossom's opened her eyes and stared at Buttercup with a look of depression on her face.
"BC, my premonitions are more like puzzles and riddles of the future I have to figure out and my visions tell me of the future directly. None of my visions mention not getting Butch back, but Brick, I don't know. In every one of my foretelling dreams, Brick is always attacking me. My few recent ones have shown Princess protecting me from him. In other ones, I have a dragon guardian protecting me from Ivy. When the dragon spoke to me he said to 'Listen to my heart and follow it.'" Blossom said. "When I heard his voice, it sounded like someone I know. I can't put my finger on who it is."
"Blossom, what does your heart tell you?" Buttercup interrogated. Blossom looked baffled by Buttercup's question. "I mean when the dragon told you to follow your heart, what does it tell you?"
"Honestly, Buttercup, I don't know. My heart is just as confused as my mind is," Blossom mumbled. Buttercup sighed aggravated and shook her head.
"LG, you're not listening to your heart…you're listening to your mind, your head. Throw out all sense of logic, knowledge and whatever the hell you have up in that head of yours and just sit and listen to what your heart has to tell you. I know it sounds weird, but just give it a try. You might actually discover something that your brain can't tell you. Now as far as beating Ivy up and your mystery dragon…that dragon may be someone you know, but it isn't the right time to know who it is that is so bravely protecting you," Buttercup said.
Blossom was shocked with what Buttercup was telling her. Her, the redhead genius of Townsville, her the organizer and the creative manipulator was actually being lecture by her sister who seemed to not care about anything that appeared to be 'boring' or 'smart.' It blew Blossom right out of the water. Looking down to the ground, she tried to regain her composure.
"Wow…" was all she could say.
"Get in there," Princess said quietly as she opened the cell door. The female scientists looked at the teenage girl with a puzzled look and walked slowly into the cell. The teenage girl closed the cell door and locked it.
"So young," Roberta breathed. Princess looked up perplexed. "You're no younger than seventeen and here you are forced to fight and see things and do things that no young teenager should ever endure."
"I've fought since I was five. I'm not seeing anything I haven't already seen," Princess muttered.
"Really? I know you often fought with the girls. I heard it on the news about you being defeated by the girls or you buying the town, but have you really seen this much turmoil? Have you really seen your own home destroyed before your eyes and then turning into a slave for Ivy? Having no more freedom because she took it away?" Roberta interrogated. Princess squeezed her eyes shut.
"No…no, I haven't seen anything like that, but I got over it. What can I do? If the Powerpuff Girls can't beat her like they can beat anyone else, than what makes you so sure that anyone of us here can beat her? I decided to earn my keep here and fight for Ivy," Princess proclaimed. Without another word, the redhead left the scientist alone in the cold, dark prison.
"That was pretty sentimental, mom," muttered a figure in the corner. Roberta turned around and looked hard at the figure. She gasped and ran up to the figure.
"Mia! Mia, how are you?" Roberta cried as she hugged her daughter tightly. The curly-haired brunette smiled slightly as she hugged her mother back.
"I'm doing fine. Well…as fine as a prison for Ivy can get. What have you been doing lately? What did you do, mom, to get yourself thrown in here? Didja raise a rebellion against that witch?" Mia questioned her mother quickly. Roberta chuckled.
"No, but unfortunately we failed to defeat the girls with Ivy's perfect plan. The Doom Girls were apparently beaten without the girls breaking a sweat and Brick and Butch retreated without even trying to defeat the Blossom and Buttercup. Ivy got mad and found no more use for me," Roberta explained. Mia looked at her mom confused.
"Brick and Butch turned against the Powerpuffs and their own mother? And who are the Doom Girls?" The brunette questioned.
"Oh! The Doom Girls are the clones of the Powerpuffs. They excel in every field the girls excel in, but ten times better and their strength is remarkable. The girls' names are Daisy, Blossom's clone, Dandy, Bubbles' clone, and Dawn, Buttercup's clone. As for the Rowdyruffs, Ivy had apparently turned them evil again and they sided with her. Recently, Bubbles was able to get Boomer back, but the others are having trouble getting Brick and Butch back," Roberta clarified.
"Oh," Mia mumbled.
"I pray that the Powerpuff Girls beat Ivy. I can't stand her trying to rule everyone's lives. It's horrible," Roberta said.
"I don't care what happens. All I know is I still can't forget how Ivy turned this word upside-down and the Powerpuffs were powerless to do anything," Mia muttered.
Mia walked back and forth in her cell at the Townsville Juvenile Women's Correctional Facility (JWCF) and wondering what she was going to do first when she would get out. Luckily, her cellmate, Joan, was out of her cell and in the TV Room. She stopped pacing when Joan came into the room, her face deathly pale. Mia furrowed her eyebrows and watched as Joan sat on her bed.
"What's wrong?" Mia asked cautiously. Joan turned her wide eyes to Mia and gulped. Obviously something bad happened to cause Joan to act this way. The brunette began to wonder if the teenager got sentenced to a longer stay here at JWCF and waited for her to say that, but instead she heard the biggest news since the Powerpuffs were born and saved the day for the first time.
"The…the…alien…world…domination…girls…" Joan stuttered. Mia growled, finally aggravated with the suspension.
"Spit it out already!" she shouted.
"There was an alien woman named Ivy that said over the television that she was going to take over the world and said that when the Powerpuffs tried beating her, they were severely beat up and at the moment can't move," Joan said. Mia raised an eyebrow, went to their bared window and looked back at her cellmate.
"It doesn't look like that. The girls are moving just fine," Mia stated as she pointed outside with her thumb. Joan jumped up from her bed and ran toward the window. Both teenagers saw the three familiar streaks in the sky heading straight toward where Ivy was.
Both brunettes jumped when they heard a loud explosion. Screaming was heard down the hall and girls started shouting things like 'Let us out!' or 'She's gonna get us all.' Guards started walking down the halls and tried calming down the panicked yells, but apparently that didn't help because another explosion came and more yells filled the building.
"Look! Buttercup is trying to fight that woman off!" Shouted a girl a couple of cells down. Everyone turned to their windows again and saw two green streaks bouncing off each other repeatedly until the darker streak (Ivy) tossed the lighter streak through several buildings. Just as soon as that happened, a pink and baby blue streak charged at Ivy.
"They're not going to win!" came more hollers. "We're doomed!"
"Shut up! The girls are going to win!" one of guards shouted at the girls. Mia walked away from window and went to her cell door. She looked at the guard with a grim face.
"How can you be so sure? From what it looks like the girls are getting beaten. This Ivy looks like she's winning with a great advantage," Mia said. The guard glared at her and didn't respond. Mia snorted. "You won't answer because you know it's true. You know Ivy is going to win."
As if on cue, screams from the city drowned out the screams the girls in the jail were giving. The screams sounded like the citizens were shouting the girls' names in distress. Mia shook her head and went back toward the window. She gasped when she saw Ivy heading straight toward the jail. She backed up until her back was pressed against the cell door. Without warning, a large explosion came and the last thing Mia saw was Ivy floating before the girls before she passed out from the impact of the explosion.
"Awaken prisoners of the Powerpuffs and the pathetic citizens of this town!" boomed Ivy's voice as Mia slipped back into consciousness. Her eyes fluttered open and saw Ivy with a smirk on her face. The brunette looked around her and saw others criminals – some big time like HIM, Mojo, Princess and the Gang Green Gang, and others small time like her and Joan. "I ask you now to join me on my conquest to defeat the girls for good and rule world. You have seen me toss those pitiful excuse for heroines around like nothing! Join me and we'll rule!"
Those are all lies. Once she gets rid of those girls, she'll throw us aside, Mia thought and snorted inwardly. Most of the villains of Townsville nodded their heads and grumbled some approval and Mia rolled her eyes. She knew they would join her because getting rid of the Powerpuffs were their main objective for their lives.
"I'll give you your freedom to move around freely as well! No Powerpuffs to beat you up and throw into jail anymore!" Ivy proclaimed. Mia rose an eyebrow interested. Maybe that would be a good thing.
"Of course they were all lies. I should've known, but I was too gullible like Blossom says I am," Mia said. Roberta sighed as she listened to her daughter's story. "I never got my freedom because several weeks later I was thrown into this prison. What a joke."
"Don't worry, Mia. We'll get of here and we'll start over. I guarantee it," Roberta said as she hugged her daughter tighter.
She was back when she first had to fight Ivy. She watched as she saw Ivy toss her sisters around like nothing and Blossom cringed when she saw Ivy throw Buttercup through a couple of buildings. She clutched her chest as she choked back tears. Why was she seeing this? Why did she have to endure this pain? She watched as she saw herself fly toward Ivy, ready to strike her. Oh, how she was foolish.
"Do you see your mistakes? Do you see your pride? Your arrogance?" Blossom's guardian dragon said he appeared beside her. The redheaded leader looked at him with a helpless expression as the dragon continued, "Your powers are gifts bestowed upon you and you have no clue how to use them. Do as your sister has said…listen to your heart. Don't listen to what your brain has to tell you. Mute it and just listen to your heart and you will find a path of hope for you and your sisters to journey through. Tell me, Blossom. What does your heart tell you?"
Blossom closed her eyes and blocked out everything that her mind was screaming at her and waited patiently for her answer. It came like the soft whisper of the wind and that's when Blossom knew what to do.
"My heart tells me…" Blossom began, but was cut off by the dragon.
"Don't tell me. It is for you to follow. You will know what you're doing because you will feel a new strength. Trust your heart like Bubbles trusts Boomer," Dragon explained.
"Tell me, my guardian. When will it be time to know who you are? When will you reveal your true identity to me so that way I may know who it is that is willing to protect me?" Blossom asked.
"You will know when you open up your mind. Once it is time, you will automatically," Dragon said. Blossom looked at him baffled.
"My mind? I thought you said to block out what my mind tells me," Blossom said. Dragon chuckled as his eyes looked into Blossom's.
"Blossom, you are a strong leader and yes, I may tell you to listen to your heart, but keep your head level as well. You need both heart and mind to defeat Ivy," Dragon said and without saying any more, he disappeared. Blossom turned around and saw Brick's back facing her.
"What are you doing here?" He snapped. Blossom up her mouth, but then closed her mouth when she saw herself walking toward Brick. She furrowed her eyes in confusion. What was happening?
"I should ask you the same question, you traitor?" 'Blossom' said. Traitor? She wouldn't call Brick a traitor.
"Shut up! I'm not the traitor here. You turned everyone I care for against me!" Brick yelled. "You made my mother hate me! You made my brother turn against me! It's all your fault! Even when we were in school, you used your sweet little powers to manipulate everyone to get what you want! You only paid attention to who you wanted to pay attention to!"
"It's not my fault that you're nothing!" 'Blossom' hissed. The real Blossom's eyes widen when she finally figured out what was happening. She was having the same nightmare that Brick was having at the moment. But does he really believe that she hates him? That everything is her fault? This can't be, can it? Is this what's holding him back?
"Shut up!" Brick yelled at her.
"Get over the fact that everyone is just using you, Brick!" 'Blossom' continued to taunt.
"Stop this…"Blossom mumbled, but apparently neither heard her. Her reflection continued to taunt Brick and Blossom covered her ears. "Stop…! Stop! Just leave him alone! STOP!"
"STOP!" Blossom yelled as she tossed and turned in her bed. Bubbles and Buttercup burst through their sister's door and saw her moving around wildly. Bubbles sat on the side of Blossom's bed and grabbed her sister's shoulders gently.
"Blossom, wake up," Bubbles whispered soothingly as she shook her sister awake. The redhead's eyes shot open and saw Bubbles sitting next to her and Buttercup standing next to Bubbles. She breathed heavily as she sat up in her bed. Bubbles looked at her worriedly. "Blossom, what's wrong? Did you have another premonition?"
"Kind of. It started out as a premonition with the dragon talking to me and then somehow I ended up being trapped in one of Brick's nightmares. I don't know how that happened," Blossom explained shakily. Bubbles looked up at Buttercup.
She's more shaken up by the nightmare. Don't ask about what she saw and try to get her to focus on the premonition. Ask her what she found out and what the dragon told her, Bubbles said to Buttercup telepathically. Buttercup nodded.
"Blossom, tell us what the dragon said," The green Powerpuff said.
"He said that I need to follow what my heart told me. I don't know what came over me, but all of a sudden I knew what I had to do. He also said that when the right time for me find out who he is, I'll automatically know," explained the pink puff.
"What did your heart tell you?" Bubbles inquired.
"We need to train to use our powers properly against Ivy. When we are able to master them, there is nothing that can stop us. If Buttercup masters how to make complete illusions – big or small – in the matter of seconds or if Bubbles is able to completely block out all other thoughts and sorting them so she can clearly read minds, we can stop her," Blossom replied.
"Okay. So, when do we start training?" Buttercup asked eager.
"What time is it?" Blossom asked.
"It's six-thirty," Bubbles replied. The pink puff nodded.
"Good. Get ready because we're starting now," Blossom ordered.
"Now!" Buttercup exclaimed shocked. The redheaded leader narrowed her eyes and looked at the raven-haired fighter.
"Yes, now. The faster we start training, the faster we get closer to beating Ivy. Now hurry up and meet me at the training facility once you're done getting dressed," Blossom ordered.
"But…" began Buttercup.
"NOW! That's an order!" Blossom said strictly.
"Fine, fine," Buttercup grumbled and left the room with Bubbles behind, who was giggling uncontrollably. Blossom shook her and jumped out of bed.
"Welcome to the first day of training. I'm your couch, Blossom Utonium, and I'm going to wipe you into shape," Blossom said sternly. "We've fought a long time without training and have gotten nowhere. We are lucky that we've survived every encounter with our opponent, but no more. We're going to come out with victory not based on luck, but based on skill, teamwork and knowledge."
"Knowledge? Tell me, Leader Girl, how is one plus one going to help us?" Buttercup questioned doubtfully. Blossom chuckled.
"A lot of people have told me in the past that 'Knowledge is power,' but people have also told me to 'keep my friends close, but my enemies closer.' What we're to do is go through every computer file and find every video file of all our fights between the DG, RRB, and Ivy. You can forget the small time villains. They won't be a problem," Blossom replied.
"We have video files of our fights?" Bubbles asked.
"Yes. I've had the professor record every battle of ours. Luckily, the news captured our fights between Ivy and us when she first came. I want to know all her tactics, all her moves, I want to be able to predict what she is going to do. Remember you guys, we should expect the unexpected, but I want a advantage over her, not her having an advantage over us. It's a new day, you guys. And this time, we're coming out victorious. We're no longer running away. You can forget retreating from now on. She may have won many battles, but she is not winning the war," Blossom proclaimed. Buttercup smirked.
"Well, what are we waiting for?"
"Let's get crackin'," Bubbles announced happily as she jumped up from her seat.
December 13, 2005
7:25 PM
"I really, really, really don't like Ivy," Dandy muttered. The three girls were in a training simulator that Ivy had locked them in and all three were getting beaten up senseless. Their clothes were torn, they had cuts all over and their bodies were bruised and sore. Daisy rolled her eyes at Dandy's remark.
"You think that I enjoy her company? I'm tired of all her 'I'm better than you,' junk," The redheaded clone muttered. "I wish that I can beat her senseless. You know at this rate, I'm starting to hope the Powerpuffs do win!"
"Are you going to side with them now?" Dawn asked, trying to catch her breath. Daisy sighed and shook her head.
"No," she replied. "Until Blossom gets her act together and finally learns that she does have a chance at beating Ivy, then I'm not moving from my position. Ivy can bad talk me all she wants, she can try and take control of my life, but the minute she steps over the line, oh…she's gonna get it."
"Whatever. You know, I found it weird that the girls all knew exactly when to knock us at the same time. I mean, Blossom just looked at Bubbles and the blond knew when to knock me out. That puzzled me," Dandy muttered.
"Now that I think about it, Dandy's right. Since when can they do that?" Dawn questioned to herself. Daisy stopped punching a holographic monster and looked at her sisters.
"I think that something is going on…like per say…new powers," Daisy stated. Dandy gasped and Dawn looked at her doubtingly.
"But wouldn't we get the same powers as them seeing how we are their clones?" The green DG asked. The redheaded leader shook her head.
"No. We're merely the clones of the Powerpuffs when they were at the state they were in. We don't know when their powers starting arising. Even if we were created when their powers began to be recognized, maybe we weren't meant to have those powers," Daisy explained.
"Are we going to tell Ivy about what we know?" The blonde mumbled.
"No, for two reasons. One, unless I see that it will benefit me and you girls then I won't and two, we don't know that they have newfound powers. For all we know it could have been a mere coincidence that happened at precisely the same moment," Her sister said. "Or it could've been planned…either one."
"Tell me, Bubbles, what are we thinking?" Blossom asked as she focused her eyes on her concentrating sister. The hot-tempered leader was able to get several volunteers to just think random things along with herself and Bubbles. The point of that was so that Bubbles can hear different thoughts at one time and be able to sort out who was thinking what. Eventually, she would train Bubbles to only hear certain people she needed to hear.
"Um…Buttercup, you're thinking…er…thinking…what kind of underwear you're going to wear tomorrow," Bubbles guessed. Buttercup began choking on the juice she was drinking when she heard the guess.
"WHAT! I wasn't thinking that! Who was thinking that?" Buttercup exclaimed as she looked around. Her eyes fell on an embarrassed Mitch Mitchellson. The green puff shuddered and narrowed her eyes. "You disgust me Mitch."
Several teenagers broke out in laughter causing Mitch to go a brighter red than he already was. Blossom shook her head and then looked at Bubbles seriously.
"Nevermind that. Everyone, be quiet and go back to thinking and don't think ridiculous thoughts like those. Bubbles concentrate," Blossom ordered. Everyone in the room quieted down and Bubbles went back to concentrating. "Now, BB, tell me what I'm thinking and what Buttercup is thinking."
"Okay…er…Buttercup is thinking…how stupid this is and how she thinks Bobby is a little too fruity…" Bubbles said. Blossom gasped and looked at her raven-haired sister who was merely shrugging with a smirk on her face. "And Blossom is thinking…how she can't believe Buttercup would think something like that though it is true…"
This caused Buttercup to snicker and point accusingly at her sister. Blossom crossed her arms and pouted at the ability that Bubbles performed. Out of nowhere the shrill alarm that everyone became familiar with began to ring. Blossom sighed.
"Come on you guys. Let's get to the control room," she said. Bubbles nodded as she and Buttercup followed Blossom out.
"Hello, girls," greeted John as the Powerpuff Girls walked in. The three greeted their father and their mother and Boomer's mother. "I'm glad you got here quickly."
"What's wrong? Is Ivy attacking?" Blossom asked. John shook his head.
"No, nothing is wrong and Ivy has not made a move. What I called you here for was that I was examining her little palace and found several entrances where you four can get inside and save a few prisoners. I don't want you three girls to get into any major battles until, Blossom, you think that all three of you are ready," John said.
"Basically we're going back into normal routines until we're ready to face Ivy once and for all in an all out battle, right? What I don't get is how come you just didn't call us through the intercom instead of using the alarm?" Bubbles asked. John blinked once and then smiled meekly.
"Oops, didn't think of that. Must've had a blonde moment…" John said.
"Hey! I resent that remark!" Bubbles exclaimed.
"Oh, no offense to blonde's though. Forgive me Bubbles. I had forgotten that you were a blond for a moment," John said. Bubbles rolled her eyes and shook her head, and her two sisters just giggled at the scene.
"Anyway, getting back onto subject, do you want us to go get the prisoners now?" Blossom asked.
"No, actually, I was hoping that you would rest up today and leave tomorrow because you never know who you may end up seeing and not to mention Bubbles and Buttercup look exhausted with their training. All three of you have probably strained your minds. So as your father, I order to just rest for now and train awhile later," John replied. The girls sighed.
"Yes Professor," they said in unison like they had when they were little. John smiled.
"Good. Now, you're dismissed," He said. The sisters turned around and exited the room, but not without Bubbles and Buttercup to start to press Blossom for answers on their questions.
"Hey Blossy, do you realize he didn't show you the few entrances to us? How are we suppose to go in and rescue without knowing where we are going?" Bubbles stated.
"Leader Girl, who do you think we're going to run into when you go there? Do you think that we might run into the Rowdyruffs or the Doom Girls or someone weak?" Buttercup questioned.
"Woah, calm down both of you. Listen, just because I have visions doesn't mean I'll know who we're going to run into unless you know…I have a vision, but I haven't had one. As for him not showing us the entrances, Bubbles, he'll probably show us tomorrow before we leave. Any more questions?" Blossom replied. Buttercup shrugged.
"I have none. I guess I'll go figure something else to do," Buttercup said.
"Fine, but no training! I catch you in any training room, I'm gonna do something drastic to you," Blossom said. Buttercup rolled her eyes and nodded as she took off. The redhead shook her head. "I swear that girl."
"Hello Butch, you ready for tonight?" Brick asked as he watched into his brother's room. Butch looked up from where he was sitting and shrugged. "Well, you better because you're going to have to go against Buttercup and you know how rough she gets."
"Yeah, don't I know it," Butch paused. "Listen Brick, I've been meaning to talk to you about something - something important."
"This better not be about Blossom against," Brick muttered. The green ruff shook his head.
"Nah, but it is something that has to do with you agreeing to hold our own mom hostage. I want to know why you would allow Ivy to do that, and especially to our own brother," Butch said. Brick looked out Butch's small window.
"Butch, Ivy and I struck a deal that we would obey her till the end as long as mom isn't harmed. Just because I'm on Ivy's side doesn't mean I'll let anything happen to our own mother. As for Boomer, he made his decision when he turned against us," The red ruff said. Butch shook his head.
"It's still not right. Boomer was with us since we were five. He would do crazy things sure, but it always happened to be the greatest thing. Something good would always come out in the end. Brick…he's our brother, our blood. What's Ivy? Is she your new sister or something?" Butch protested.
"Butch, Boomer may have done crazy things in the past, but he has never betrayed us! He never turned against us," Brick said. "What's done is done and there is nothing I can do about it. Like I said, it's his decision."
As the Rowdyruff leader turned around to leave, the green ruff muttered, "True, but he would never think of harming you."
Brick stopped for a brief moment after hearing the remark and then left without another word. Butch shook his head and laid down on his bed. Something didn't feel right about this.

12:14 AM
The halls of the Powerpuff Girls' home were quiet. Everyone was silent and asleep in their beds and no sound could be heard. The lights were dim in various rooms and the Powerpuff Girls themselves were in their room, silently sleeping. Even Blossom was sleeping peaceful…no haunting premonitions.
Near the entrance of the hideout, red smoke seeped in through the cracks of the door. The smoke swirled around and began to take the form of a familiar villain called HIM. He smirked and silently opened the door and let in Mojo Jojo. The monkey nodded at his comrade and took off toward John and Sandra's room. HIM smiled and skipped off toward the girls' rooms. Once he came up to Buttercup's room, he slipped in and snickered.
Time to have fun…HIM thought.
Buttercup looked around. Various objects such as her bed, desk and other possessions that were in her room were floating in the air and the walls were an eerie green. She looked around and began to wonder what was going on. A shiver went up her spine as she spotted several odd-looking silhouettes walking toward her. She squinted and went pale when she finally recognized what was coming toward her. It was something she had been afraid of and disliked since she was five…
Spiders…She thought with a shudder.
Bubbles was having a rather pleasant dream. Flowers were blooming and the sun was shining. Birds were singing and cute little animals were dancing around happily. The blonde smiled merrily as she watched a squirrel and rabbit jumped around. As she watched the two animals, the shine began to fade and lightening crackled overhead.
Bubbles gasped as the animals scattered. She turned around as she felt a pair of eyes on her back. She found no one there and began to get a scared feeling. She gulped as she began walking around. Bubbles heard faint laughs coming from different directions and the blonde began to get even more frightened.
Something isn't right. Everything was a light pink. This wasn't a premonition, was it? I couldn't be, could it? It seemed different any sign that signaled that it was a vision hadn't appeared. Maybe it was a nightmare, but why would it look like this? Everything was floating in the air abnormally. Blossom held her breath as she looked around. What was going on here?
"You're pathetic," someone said. The redhead looked for the owner of the voice, but found no one.
"You can't do anything," another voice sneered. Blossom looked around frantically, but like before, she didn't see anyone.
"You're a horrible leader," muttered another person.
Mojo Jojo slipped into the professor's room. He grunted as he looked at all the accessories this odd couple had. He brought out a pair of ropes and jumped on top of the bed. With the jolt, both Sandy and John woke up and found the monkey.
"Mojo!" John exclaimed.
"Shut up," Mojo muttered as he began tying up the professor. The famous Townsville scientist struggled with the ropes, but Mojo had tied them too tight. Sandy jumped out of the bed and searched for something to hit the villain with, but didn't get the chance to grab anything because Mojo got a hold on her.
"Girls!" John yelled. "Blossom! Bubbles! Buttercup! Help!"
"Be quiet, you're girls won't be able to come because they are being held by the villain that will make sure that they won't be able to come because they are being held by a villain that is making sure-" Mojo said, but was cut off by Sandy and John.
"Shut up! We got the point!" They shouted. Mojo was about to make a snappy reply when the door swung open to reveal Ms. Sara Bellum.
"Hey, what are you -" She began to question, but was stopped when Mojo jumped on her and tied her up. "Girls please-"
"They are not -" Mojo started.
"Don't you start!" The Utoniums said.
"Whatever," Mojo muttered as he picked up the three adults and began to take off down the hall.
"Get them away from me!" screamed Buttercup as she ran away from the six giant spiders that were chasing her. Her eyes began to water from fear. "Please! Get them away from me! Anyone! Blossom! Bubbles! Boomer! Momma! Daddy! Please, keep them away from me!"
"AHHH! No! Leave me alone! Please! I hate clowns! Keep them away!" Bubbles screeched as she tried to escape from the smiling, laughing clowns that surrounded her. "Blossy…BC…Boomie! Get them away from me!"
"Blossom…help!" Buttercup's voice rang through the redheaded teenager's ears. Her pink eyes looked around frantically for an exit so she could get to her sister. She needed to help her.
"Blossy…please keep them away from me…I'm scared!" Bubbles' voice yelled frightened. Scared? Why was she scared? What was happening?
"Blossom! Get them away…they're so gross…please…" Buttercup shouted. Gross? The only thing that Buttercup considered gross and disturbing was…spiders…and the only thing that Bubbles hated was…clowns…
Her fear…it was not being able to help her sisters and failing at leading…
Wait…that must mean that all of this was a dream…
"A dream that can only be conjured up by HIM," Blossom stated. Clapping was heard as HIM appeared before her with a smirk. The Powerpuff leader narrowed her eyes as she growled.
"Very good, Blossom. I figured you would be the first to figure out that this was another one of my fear factor dreams. Of course, I'm not doing this for mere amusement like I did way back in the good old days. No, I'm doing this for a different purpose," HIM said in his normal prissy, high-pitched voice.
"Release my sisters. Release them from their nightmares, you sick, twisted monster," Blossom growled. HIM chuckled.
"Oh, what colorful language you have, but of course, you couldn't match your counterpart in that section. He could win that contest in a second without even trying," HIM snickered. Blossom glared at him.
"I don't care about that. I want my sisters freed, and trust me, if I have to beat it out of you, I will. I won't hesitate for a second to take out my anger and stress on you," Blossom threatened. HIM sighed disappointed as he looked at the angered leader.
"Fine, fine. Right when the good part was going to come, but I'm only doing this because Mistress Ivy has commanded this," HIM snapped. With a loud 'pop,' HIM disappeared and Buttercup's and Bubbles' distressed calls stopped.
Blossom's eyes shot open as soon as she awoke from her dream. She jumped out of bed and ran toward Buttercup's room. She entered and found Buttercup sitting up in her bed, awake, and looked very pale. The raven-haired puff looked up as soon as her sister entered and whimpered.
"Blossom…I had a nightmare," She whispered, ashamed at her fear.
"It's okay, I know. It was HIM's doing. C'mon, let's go and find Bubbles. She had a nightmare too, and then after we can go see the professor and mom," Blossom murmured soothingly. Buttercup nodded, got out of bed and followed her sister to Bubbles' room. Right when they were about to go into the room, Bubbles swung the door open. Tears filled her eyes as she threw herself into Blossom's arms.
"Blossy…they wouldn't leave me alone. The stupid clowns wouldn't leave me alone," Bubbles cried.
"Shh, it's okay. C'mon, BB, let's go see dad," Blossom whispered as she linked her arms with Buttercup's and Bubbles' arms and walked down the hall. As they walked, the redhead tried to comfort both her sisters and told them that it was HIM that started the whole thing. Th three siblings walked into their parent's room and found it empty.
Bubbles gasped and ran up to the bed and found a note on it. She picked it up and quickly scanned the note. Blossom walked up from behind the blonde and read the note over her sister's shoulder. Both growled as they turned around - anger glinting in their eyes.
"What? What happened?" Buttercup questioned.
"I have one word for you - Ivy. Get dressed both of you. We have three people to save," Blossom ordered as she left the room. Buttercup and Bubbles looked at each other and ran out of the room.
December 14, 2005
1:33 AM
"So, what's the plan Leader Girl?" Buttercup asked as the three sisters met up with each other in the entrance hall. Blossom looked up from tightening her fingerless glove and sighed.
"To be truthful, BC, I was trying to think of plan, but my brain is not working properly at the moment. It's still half-asleep despite the fact that I'm fully awake," Blossom explained somewhat lazily. Buttercup sighed heavily as she shook her head.
"We could wing it," Bubbles suggested. The other two girls just shrugged.
"I guess. You guys ready to go?" Blossom said. Bubbles and Buttercup nodded.
"Do you think that you'd be able to leave without me knowing? Shame on you. I want a piece of the action after all, and seeing how my mother is also being held hostage, I want to be able to get at Ivy as well," a voice said. The Powerpuffs turned around and found a very irritated Boomer.
"Boomie!" Bubbles exclaimed. "How did you know that Ms. Bellum was missing?"
"Well, BB, I heard you three walking around and Blossom mention something about Ivy and I immediately jumped up and got dressed. I went to go check on my mom and when I entered the room, I didn't see her. So I figured that Ivy got a hold of not only the Professor and your mom, but my mom as well," Boomer said. Blossom nodded.
"Okay, well, are you three ready?" She asked.
"You bet. Ivy will not get away with this," Boomer growled.
"She's gonna wish that never involved our parents," Bubbles added.
"I'm going to beat her up so bad, she's going to be crying for her mommy. No one scares me and then kidnaps my parents without feeling my wrath," Buttercup sneered.
"Good, girls…and boy, let's go get her," Blossom said as she took off into the sky with Boomer, Bubbles and Buttercup behind her.
"Here they come…nice and mad too," Ivy snickered. From behind her, Butch, Aaron, Princess and Brick watched as two blue streaks, a pink streak and a green streak headed straight toward them. Ivy turned around and nodded at the Rowdyruff leader. The 17-year-old boy walked over to the computers and pressed a button causing hard steel to close off the doors and windows. Blossom stopped short and growled. Obviously, Ivy installed new toys, and she also knew that the four were coming.
"Doesn't she have this planned out," Buttercup commented sarcastically. Blossom glanced at her sister from the corner of her eye and thought the each same thing. The redheaded leader looked down at Ivy's palace and scanned the area for any openings. Her eyes came across two thin windows that could bare fit two slender girls.
"Listen, I found two windows that Bubbles and Buttercup can barely fit through down there," Blossom said as she pointed to the two windows on the north side of the building. "Boomer and I will fly low and try and find another entrance, got it?"
"Got it, Leader Girl," Buttercup said and then turned to Bubbles, "Come on, BB."
With that, the two girls took off towards the two windows, and Blossom and Boomer flew down toward the ground to search for more convenient entrances inside. The two girls landed softly on the ground and bent down to open the windows. Buttercup pulled on the window frame and with a with pull, the window opened up quickly. Bubbles did the exact same thing on the other window and as soon as she finished both she and her raven-haired sister slipped inside.
Bubbles started coughing once the dust from their feet roughly hitting floor flew up into the air. Buttercup waved her hand in front of her face, pushing the dust away from her face. She then motioned for the blonde to follow her further in.
"Where are we?" Bubbles whispered. Buttercup looked at her surroundings, trying to figure out where it was they were.
"It looks like some sort of prison. Apparently Ivy is military strict and doesn't like anyone rebelling against her," Buttercup remarked, still examining the prison.
"You got that right," muttered someone. The two girls whirled around and found a middle-aged brunette woman that looked strangely like someone they knew. Coming up from behind her, was the ever-famous popular girl, Mia.
"Mia!" shouted Buttercup and Bubbles at the same. Mia looked at the two puffs with a mean expression as soon as the superheroes said her name. Buttercup growled, "What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be off gallivanting?"
"I would if Ivy wasn't such a witch. She captured me in order to force my mom to work for her," Mia snapped. "But then again, I'd still be in this predicament even if Ivy hadn't come and taken over."
"Of course, you deserve it especially after what you did to BB here. You're LUCKY that you got out of the hospital alive, and that Blossom was nice enough to let the police deal with you otherwise you would have been in the Intensive Care Unit," Buttercup growled. Roberta glanced at Mia.
"Mia, while they're here why don't you apologize to Bubbles here," Roberta recommended to her daughter with a stern glare at her daughter. Mia looked at her mother with a disbelieved expression, but once the glare deepened, Mia looked at Bubbles and Buttercup and sighed.
"Sorry Bubbles, sorry Buttercup," mumbled Mia.
"S'okay," Bubbles said simply and Buttercup just snorted. Roberta smiled.
"Well, that's better. I'm Doctor Roberta Sanchez, Mia's mother. I, unfortunately, worked for Ivy. She forced me to rat out the whereabouts of the underwater facilities. Truthfully, it was very painful to do that because there were fellow scientist in there like me," Roberta explained. Bubbles nodded with a depressed expression.
"Everyone got out safely, don't worry, but it seems like we have to perform another rescue mission. Dr. Sanchez, could both you and Mia step back please," Bubbles said. Both Sanchez women stepped back as Bubbles heated up her heat vision. She aimed her heat vision at the lock and in mere seconds it melted away. She opened up the cell door and the teenager and her mother stepped out.
"Thank you Bubbles," Roberta said. Bubbles smiled.
"No problem. Do you see that window? Slip out through there and run like hell. Ivy won't see you because all her windows and doors are blocked. Go as quickly as you can," Bubbles instructed. Roberta nodded, but all four girls jumped when they heard a loud noise.
"Bubbles? Buttercup?" came Blossom's voice followed by Boomer's, echoing her.
"Blossom, over here," Bubbles called. Blossom slipped through the window and ran over to her sister only to come face-to-face with Mia. The redheaded leader gasped as soon as she laid eyes on the curly-haired teenager.
"Mia!" she exclaimed. The brunette rolled her eyes.
"Last time I checked I was and I'm about to leave with my mother. So, Your Highness, if it's okay with you, can we go?" Mia said sarcastically. Blossom growled and narrowed her eyes.
"The only royalty here is you, Mia," She sneered. "A royal pain in my ass. You can leave for all I care. I wish you and your mom the best of luck."
Mia smiled smugly, grabbed her mother's wrist and dragged the older woman toward the window. There was another shout of Mia's name that came from Boomer and an aggravated shriek before there was complete silence.
"Hey," Bubbles finally spoke up. "Where's Boomer?"
"Boomer couldn't come through so I just said that he'd have to wait and stand guard. Meanwhile, the three of us will get dad, mom and Ms. Bellum back," Blossom replied.
"Okay," Buttercup said. Without another word, the three girls moved out the prisons and went up toward the middle level of the building. When they had come to entrance of the middle level, there was a three-path fork in the road. Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup looked at each and spilt up (Blossom taking the middle, Bubbles taking right and Buttercup taking left).
The corridor that Blossom traveled down was just as plain as all the other rooms that the Powerpuff leader had been into. There was nothing but dead silence, and she found it strange that was until she saw a gold shimmer of all to familiar Egyptian Daggers (Sais) flicker in the dark.
"Princess…" Blossom whispered.
"I knew that wouldn't be too hard for you to figure out," Princess said smoothly. Blossom squinted to see her, but only saw only the outlining of her shadow before her.
"Is Brick with you?" She asked curiously, trying to figure out what she was going up against. Although it was too dark to see anything, Blossom knew that she could see a smirk growing across an obviously amused Princess.
"Anxious to see him, aren't you?" she asked. "I wouldn't say that to him though, he's never thrilled to see you at all, but you didn't hear that from me."
Blossom gritted her teeth, "Shut up."
"Oh, touchy, aren't we? What? Are you mad that Daisy, your copy, is getting more attention from Brick than you are? You were always that type, Blossom, you were so arrogant, so prideful, you have to have all the attention…especially from your counterpart. Guess what, Blossom, you ignored him for so long he decided to ditch you," Princess sneered.
Blossom looked at her seriously, "Yes, Princess, that's always been your style. Trying to tear down someone's confidence, huh? Or trying to make some feel inferior because why? You were the Princess of the World. Ha! That never worked with me and you know it. So, why don't we just do this the old fashioned way."
Princess growled, "Yes, so you figured out my game, but that doesn't matter. It's like you said, let's play this the old fashioned way and fight." The teenage girl brought out another pair of sais, put them on the floor and then passed them to Blossom. The redheaded leader picked them up and got ready to fight.
Buttercup narrowed her eyes as she walked through the dimmed hallway. She didn't trust this at all. Ivy was up to something, and what…the Powerpuff didn't know. Knowing her, she was going to send someone after her and her sister. Obviously the three-path fork road was a trap. Watch, any moment now, someone was going to come up.
"Why hello, Buttercup. Long time no see, ne?"
Bingo, and who else to come after then Butch. It was really starting to get old now, but hey, at least she was going to get a good fight today. Sighing , Buttercup ,decided to get into action.
"Butch, what do you want? Another fight, as usual?" Buttercup asked. Butch smirked.
"You know me too well," Butch said. "But the only thing that you don't know me as well on is fighting. That's something you'll never that well on."
"Please, Butch, spare me. If there's something I know you all to well on, that's fighting. So, be fair to me and my new headache and just start the fight," Buttercup remarked bluntly as she threw her counterpart a dirty look.
"Trust me, this will be my greatest pleasure," Butch said as he started walking towards his counterpart. Buttercup got ready for her opposite to attack at any given moment. "Let's have some fun."
"Help! Somebody help!" screamed Sandy at the top of her lungs. From outside, Boomer squinted his eyes and listened carefully, making sure that he had heard correctly. Had he heard Mrs. Utonium shouting for help? He hoped he wasn't having a moment where he was hearing things.
"Help! Boomer! Girls!" shouted Ms. Bellum. Boomer's eyes widened. He hadn't heard things. He floated up and pressed his ear against the stone wall, listening to hear for more screams.
"Ladies, calm down. I'm sure they can hear us," John said calmly. Sandy and Sara glared at him murderously.
"Shut up!" they yelled.
Boomer moved slightly back once he had come up to the room they were being held and used his X-ray vision to see if he was right. Sure enough, the three adults were in the room. He smirked and then punched the wall. The two women screamed as the rubble flew into the room. The three looked up once the dust settled and saw the blonde ruff with a goofy grin on his face.
"Boomer! Don't do that again unless you warn us!" Ms. Bellum scolded loudly.
"Sorry mom," He mumbled embarrassed as he floated into the room and melted the chains off everyone's wrists and ankles with his heat vision.
"That's odd. No one's come into the room to check on us," Sandy observed.
"Don't jinx it!" Both the professor and blue Rowdyruff said in unison. Sandy and Sara gave both a strange look and shook their heads.
"Men," they muttered as they grabbed onto Boomer's shoulders. Boomer floated up higher off the ground, grabbed the professor's arms and flew back down on the ground. He set all three down gently on the ground.
"Get going," Boomer said. "Ivy's distracted so she won't see you! Go!"
As soon as the scientist and the two women left, Boomer closed his eyes and tried contacting Bubbles. Hopefully, she's paying attention.
Bubbles! I saved the professor, your mom and my mom! Boomer thought.
Blossom was backed up into the wall as Princess' sais clashed with hers.
"You need to get out of here and save your sister," Princess whispered. Blossom looked at her confused as she pushed her redhead rival away from her.
"What?" she asked.
"Ivy plans to kidnap your sister to weaken you and Boomer," Princess replied.
"Why are you telling me this? Aren't you on Ivy's side?" Blossom questioned, still not completely understanding what Princess was doing. The 17-year-old girl sighed heavily as she looked at the leader with an annoyed expression.
"I'm tired of doing Ivy's dirty work. So, I decided to help you and your sisters out. The Doom Girls won't be a problem because they're in intense training so they won't come out until Ivy sees fit," Princess explained. Blossom looked at the girl shocked and then looked at the blocked window. Right next to the window was a box and Blossom got an idea.
"You need to get out of here. If Ivy finds out you've betrayed her, she'll be mad," Blossom said as she ran to the box, ripped it opened and pulled some cords. The steel that blocked the open window slide up revealing not only the hallway, but another person. Princess gasped when she saw who it was.
"Aaron…um…A-Aaron, lemme explain…"Princess stuttered, thinking she had been caught.
"Shut up and take me with you. I'm tired of being here," Aaron cut her off. Princess and Blossom looked at him, but quickly brushed the subject off. The blonde teenage boy ran up to the two redheads and got ready to leave as Blossom broke the glass.
"Go!" Blossom ordered. Princess nodded as she grabbed Aaron's hand and both jumped out of the window. The Powerpuff leader went to the window ledge and saw a parachute fly out of Princess' back and helped the two teenagers reach the ground softly.
That's great Boomie! Now we don't- Bubbles thought, but was cut off when someone back up from behind her and covered her mouth. She tried screaming, but they were muffled.
Bubbles? Bubbles? Bubbles! BUBBLES! Answer me! Boomer thought. Something's happened to her. I've got to get in there.
Bubbles kicked and screamed as she tried to free from herself from her captor. She was able to move her mouth a little and was able to bite the person's hand. The person screamed and released her hand from Bubbles' mouth. Bubbles let out an ear-piercing scream, hoping that either Blossom, Boomer or Buttercup heard it.
"Shut up!" shouted her captor as they hit her behind the head and knocked her unconscious.
"Bubbles…" whispered Blossom, as she turned her head toward the direction of the scream. "They got her…"
Author's Notes:
Yay! It's done! I told all of you people that it was a lot longer than chapter 13! Like 10 pages longer than chapter 13! I hope you guys enjoyed this. If hadn't noticed, Princess and Aaron were the traitors to this chapter. Anyway, peeps here are the review replies.
Review Replies
Saxophone's Angel: Yes, you're correct, Helen of Troy did come from the two books, The Odyssey and The Iliad by Homer. The book I was suggesting was a book that the author has taken Helen and Cassandra points of view and written through their view. Other than that, I thank you for your compliment and I hope you continue to like it.
RayeBBG: Thank you so much for the review!
Tenderfelling: Well, I'm glad that you like the story. As for BB/Boomer romance, I find them a cute couple as well, but Blossom/Brick are my favorite followed closely by Butch/Buttercup romances. Anyway, I'll sneak in some blue romance. I hope you like this chapter.
Neo Star: Can you say modest? You're a great author, but thank you any way for the compliment. I'm glad that you like the story though, Neo Star.
Kats02980416: Yeah, I really do hope they get a clue…wait…I'm writing the story…LOL, I do that a lot. Anyway, yeah, most of the PPG/RRB personalities do clash, but I still love them. Thanks for the review!
Angel-Bratt44: Aw, don't worry about it. I do that myself sometimes, trust me. The 'update soon' is my signature too. I think that it's everyone's. LOL. Anyway, thanks again for the review
Anonymous: Thanks! I'm glad you like the story!
Ja Rule: Yay! My mission is accomplished! Anyway, spiffy and superb? LOL, don't worry, I'm weird too. In fact, I'm weird every second of the day. LOL! Thanks for the review!
Runa: Yes, four months is long, but I did it even shorter this time, but at least the chapter is longer so I guess it makes up for that. Bubbles and Boomer have already gone through their trials and tribulations so obviously they're going to be stronger than the others. Butch and Buttercup would be the third strongest, but with their constant fighting…eh…
As for Blossom and Brick, they're having emotional and trustworthy problems between each other. One's over sensitive and the other can't trust…bad problems, but hopefully they'll get over it. As for setting things right between each other, you'll know at the end of the story.
Fangwriter: Well, I'm glad that you're no longer confused. Yes, the girls are gaining new powers and you got it right about the boys. As for your question, what do ya need?
Hairy Gregory: Yep, you're right. Ivy did succeed at shutting down the facilities, but as you saw at the beginning of the chapter, Ivy was not happy that girls also succeeded. She's greedy. She has to win at every aspect. Yeah, it was also smart she didn't send Boomer right away too. Yes, the girls are out of shape.
Tonifranz: True, indeed the boys could've trapped the girls in the situation, but Brick, having an idiotic moment, you could say and retreated. We all have those moments, even genius' (though probably not as often). As for the girls, it wasn't just strength, it was also the cooperation between the girls and Bubbles' ability. As for them getting nearer…um…yeah…LOL
Yeah, thanks for all the review guys and I'm really sorry that the ending sucks, but I really couldn't think of how to end besides that way. Please don't flame me over this. Anyway, R&R!
