This is going to be the last chapter… for a while… as I need some time to think… about how the last six/seven chapters are going to go… I know how the next two chapters are going to go… fighting D.L. I'm working on a fic called "Winter Wonderland", but this is different! Snowball fights, Christmas lights, and Christmas too! This is basically the gang, OC's, Corey and Zach, and Crash too going to a ski resort. I can't reveal anymore than that! Seriously!

Episode 14: Battle Atop The Lightning Tower

We had just gotten the word, to fight Team Powerpuff atop the lightning tower, also where Cortex Castle once stood. The tower stood sixty stories high, and if you were to fall off, without first knowing how to fly, you'd die on impact with solid ground.

The tower was usually electrified from top to bottom, so it wouldn't be a good idea to stand on the tower every second. Every few seconds a transformer would malfunction, due to the fifteen million kilowatt power grid, and send electricity throughout the tower, from top to bottom, thus earning its nickname, "Lightning Tower".

"I think I know where the Lightning Tower is!" I shouted, face screwed up after a few moments of silence. Realization had hit me like a brick to the noggin once I did some minor math toward where we would go.

"Where…?" the two asked in unison.

"Follow my lead…" No sooner than I spoke those words I sped off to the third island (Crash Bandicoot Universe.) We had just gotten past the cove, where I and Crash fought Koala Kong, and were on the beach looking at the third island, when Sonic suddenly got a chill.

"Move it!" I shouted, kicking Sonic into… three inches of water.

"AAAHH, AAAAAA! Help me, I don't know how to swim! I'm drowning… farewell cruel world!" Sonic shouted, thrashing at the shallow waters, crouching down. By now I was almost laughing, tears streaming from my eyes.

"Sonic, you can't swim? Even in three inches of water?"

"I'm drowning…. GGOOODBBBYYYYE…. Wait, three inches of water? DAMN IT!" Sonic shouted, kicking himself.

"God, you're worst than a friend of mine!"

"What does he do…?"

"Same thing as you just did, except he acknowledges the fact that he's in shallow water!"

Silence followed for a few moments, before Sonic shouted a colorful language that could be used in an M rated fic at me.

"Why you… never mind. We need a way to get across the water, without Sonic squealing like a schoolgirl…" I stated calmly, before something clubbed me across the back of the head… "……OWWWWWWW!"

"DON'T YOU EVER CALL ME A SCHOOLGIRL!" Sonic shouted up, pummeling me repeatedly over the back of the head, sending pain across the back of my skull.

"Damn… -thud- it… -thud- Sonic! –Thud- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" Finally I exploded at Sonic, my eyes glowing blood red and I punted him straight to the base of the lightning tower.

"That's one problem solved, but now how are we going to get across the ocean?" Amy asked, looking at me intently.

"I do have one way…" I answered, looking back at her slyly.

"What would that be?" Her voice was riddled with concern, mainly due to the way I was looking at her.

"I know what I can do." I found myself taking her hand, and placing two fingers on my forehead. In a flicker of light, we were at were Sonic was.

"That lying, backstabbing, useless, son of a—!" Sonic was shouting.

"If you're talking about me, you must know that I'm right here, and I heard every word you said!" I shouted back.

"Corey… Amy, but how did you get here so fast… I mean, almost as fast as me… but come on!"

"Instant transmission, of course! Now then, we have a so-called 'date' with a certain team… CHAOS CONTROL!" A green flash of light, and we were at the roof of the lightning tower, where the rubber roof prevented shock. Above it floated Team Saiyan's enemy team, Team Powerpuff.

"If it isn't the half-brain of the illustrious Team Saiyan…" said the leader of the speed formation, Bubbles. She was half-right, I used to make awkward suggestions.

"YOU HAVE THE BRAINS OF A PIECE OF KINDERGARTEN CONSTRUCTION PAPER!" I shouted, taking in the features of the top of the tower. There were four green crystals, obviously to stabilize the tower, atop small pedestals. And to think that nine years ago, this place was burning to the ground. Just then, my eyes shot to something on the ground.

THE EARTH CREST! I found it, in the least likely place I'd thought I'd find it!

"Prepare to battle!" said the pink one, I could tell it was Blossom, and before I knew it, I was practically dodging blows at the speed of sound.

"I can only do this once per battle! SUMMONING JUTSU!" I shouted, placing a hand on the ground, and out came a frog.

Not what I was hoping for…

"Attack…" I commanded in a dull, disappointed tone. The frog leapt on Bubbles' face, the one I was battling, and she squealed and swiped it off her face, but just as she did so, I shouted out: "There's an opening!" I kicked her shortly after saying that.

I was beating the snot out of Bubbles, as Amy and Sonic had already disposed of the other two, Blossom and Buttercup, yet I had no idea why. Perhaps they had gotten the cheap attacks… anyway, I slammed my energy punch into her stomach, and that's when she shouted: "OKAY! Here's the emerald."

The red emerald hovered into view, which I snatched out of the air, and shoved the bodies of the Powerpuff Girls off the tower, and into the ocean.

"That's all seven! And now, to complete the sword…" I mumbled to myself…

There, now I need some time to THINK! R&R! Thinking is good too, right?
