Ravens in Disguise
A secret organization that steadily begins to grow as crime becomes more prominent in Tokyo city. Composed of the original villains who caused havoc alongside the infamous HIM and the new initiated villains that it welcomes, it is an organization that serves as a threat to the reclaimed peace of Tokyo.
A year after the defeat of HIM, the birth of a rebellion started.
The National Police Agency of Tokyo has been working on destroying the core of crimes that have been terrorizing the town. Countless hours of work were put into the investigation of its headquarters. Multiple people who were sent to find them were never heard of again; those who were part of the organization that was captured, however, swore obedience as they remained silent about the case.
Time wasted as leads grew cold and men disappeared.
However, a year after its birth, crime rates dropped.
Villains rarely attacked the city. The R.I.D. have remained inactive for so long that life returned to normal.
A mysterious event that made police even more confused.
Has the organization been destroyed? Is this truly the end of chaos?
Or the beginning of hell?
Momoko's/Bloom's P.O.V.
The sun shone brightly through my window, making me wake up earlier than expected. Slowly getting up, I ran my fingers through my hair. As I sat up on my bed, it was then that I realized that this will be the day for us to infiltrate R.I.D.'s headquarters.
I guess it's not a problem after all. I glanced at my clock, revealing that it was already 5:30 am.
It has been about three days since we've discussed the plan, and we've been testing out our new powers ever since. Surprisingly, we got the hang of it pretty easily. Now, we just had to use it to our advantage in taking down that organization once and for all.
Better get ready.
I stretched a bit before getting off my bed. Reaching out towards my nightstand, I pulled at the drawer beside me. There laid both my white belt and the black belt that the professor made for us.
This mission was an enigma to us, we don't know what to expect once we'll get there. Will it be easy? Difficult? Will we fail? There were just so many questions that we didn't have a definite answer to.
We're just going to have to find the answers ourselves.
Without holding back, I took my belt and I placed it around my waist. Taking the compact, I transformed into my villain form.
"Dark Bloom!" As I levitated, a bright light enveloped my body as my clothes started to form around me. After my transformation, I went to my vanity and looked at myself.
It felt the same, yet so different at the same time. I stared at my own reflection in awe.
That's when I suddenly remembered the very moment when I told the Professor about this, about my plan.
It was about a couple months ago.
I stood in front of a jail cell that held a young man. I have been interrogating him for a while now, but he remained uncooperative and silent.
I crossed my arms as I called out to him. "Mr. Jones," I said.
He shifted a bit, but he remained silent as he lowered his head. Sighing, I placed my hand on one of the jail bars. "I know that this is all too sudden but—"
"You…" He said, his eyes fixated on me. "Red…"
I looked at him, confused as to what he just said. "I beg your pardon?"
"Red… Red…" He started, getting up from his seat. "Red…!"
"Mr. Jones, is there something wrong?" I asked, a bit concerned. "Are you alright?"
After I asked that, he fell silent once again. He kept his head down, that was until he looked me in the eye. I was a bit terrified, considering that he was a tough guy to put down after we caught him robbing a bank. However, the look in his eyes didn't mean any harm.
It was almost like he was asking for help.
"I will talk." He replied.
After that, he told me everything.
He told me about his involvement in the R.I.D., and how he got there in the first place. It was inexcusable nevertheless, for he still committed crime even after joining them. However, after hearing his story, I wasn't surprised as to why he did what he did.
He was a very gifted scientist, a genius at his craft. He would often experiment on dead animals in hopes of bringing them back to life. Surprisingly, after years of experimenting, it was a success.
However, his interest grew into making artificial humans, much like how Mojo did. This interest stemmed from the fact that his ex-wife couldn't get pregnant, so he made it his mission to learn how to create a child of his own. It was that experiment that was a disaster. Countless hours of conducting experiments were put to waste.
Well, that was until he found out about the R.I.D.
The organization's advanced technology has sparked an interest in Mr. Jones. He thought that if he joined, he would be able to make his experiment a success, nothing more, nothing less.
Well, that's what he thought.
A few months after the R.I.D. was established, he applied for the organization and was happily accepted. However, they didn't allow him to use any of their equipment unless he committed a crime. He was hesitant at first, that was until he did. His life of crime started with vandalizing and stealing until it became much worse. And as he did, the more that the head of the R.I.D. opened up to him.
A year after that, he was able to do it. He was able to create an artificial human: a young boy.
Mr. Jones said he treated him like a son, something that made him so happy. That boy was something that he treasured. He never would have thought that that little boy would be the one who would fill such an empty hole in his heart.
But good things never last.
When the National Police Agency captured Mr. Jones, the R.I.D. also took his son. The leader of the organization apparently saw potential in the boy, so they locked him up and Mr. Jones found out eventually. He escaped from the police once learning about that fact; this made him go into a state of depression. Because of that, it triggered something in him.
When his son was captured, that was the catalyst of his crime spree. He often caused chaos using his experiments, and that led the National Police to take action. We couldn't get a hold of him for a long time, but months ago, we finally tracked his location. And a month after his capture, he was able to open up to us.
He asked us, begged us, to bring back his son. Because of him, we were able to find their location. The professor suggested that we destroy the very building that all our enemies were in. However, for the very first time, I disagreed.
I have had a bad feeling ever since I first joined LUX, and it was something that never really faded after years of being in that organization. There were only a few people that I could fully trust, so that made me wary of just going out and attacking their base. That's why when Mr. Jones opened up to us, I started to look deeper into the R.I.D. and their works.
LUX has been trying to track down their base for years now. However, I then learned from Mr. Jones that their base location often changes, so they always evade the police. Although, despite that, I always felt like something was wrong.
That's why I took the liberty of formulating the plan for this secret mission.
Mr. Jones was more than willing to help us get into that cursed organization. Even if he escaped, he admitted that he was still being contacted by members of the organization. His extensive knowledge in science and his ability in creating artificial humans was something that the leader of the organization found fascinating. Because of this desperate attempt of theirs to get back Mr. Jones, it will cause a small window of opportunity for us.
It took me a few weeks before I could properly calculate the strategy. R.I.D. wasn't an organization to be taken lightly, and I know that from experience. Back when they were still active, we always had a criminal causing trouble. Sometimes, they would even commit crime outside Tokyo, and that has made it even more difficult for us to completely eliminate the organization.
Maybe that's why the Professor created these new compacts.
We've already taken a few months off of work, so as to eliminate suspicion from the others. Though of course it will merit some curiosity, but since it's technically our vacation, hopefully they won't complain. And at this very moment, the mission is already starting.
Taking the hair comb on my vanity, I started to brush through my hair. Sighing, I couldn't help but feel a bit worried. There was no doubt that it was going to be difficult for us.
The R.I.D. or better known as Ravens in Disguise is an organization in which villains team up to cause mischief and mayhem. Each and every one of their agents is being trained and they are very powerful.
But something bothered me.
It has been almost four years since the R.I.D. was created back when we were fourteen but there weren't any serious crimes unlike what HIM did. When they first started, Mojo would often start trashing the city with his robots or other new criminals would come and rob banks or stores. But that only lasted for a year, they have been inactive for three years now.
According to Mr. Jones, their main purpose was to cause mayhem and rule the world. But how come that in that long period of time, nothing and no one made any huge trouble?
Is it because they didn't have enough agents? Is it because they still weren't powerful enough? Or do they have a diabolical plan coming up?
There are just a ton of possibilities and theories about this.
I then let out a frustrated sigh.
Why was I getting so worked up? I should start getting ready since we still don't know what we're up against. The info that Professor Jones gave us was very limited, and that was because it has already been so long since he was kicked out of the organization. That means that the villains might have changed and gotten stronger.
We just have to be ready.
"Shut the fuck up!" I was pulled out of my thoughts when I heard Kaoru scream from the other room. Maybe having a fight with her alarm clock… again.
I glanced at my clock and saw that it was already 6:13 am. I got up and started fixing myself before walking to Kaoru's room. Knowing her, she needs someone to pull her out of bed and help her get ready.
I went to her room and I gently opened her door. I saw her struggling to get up from her bed, tossing and turning as her blanket got more and more wrinkled. My sharp eyes didn't miss the broken alarm clock on the floor though.
"Need help?" I asked as I stretched my hand out for her to grab. She lazily took my hand and I pulled her up. She sat up and rubbed her bright lime green eyes. Looks like she stayed up late judging by the dark circles around her eyes.
"What time did you sleep?" I asked with a bit of a motherly tone as she shot her sleepless eyes at me.
"Midnight." She said firmly as she lazily got up from her bed and went to her own vanity.
I walked towards her carefully avoiding all the junk she had scattered on the floor. Man, does she ever clean up?
As I stood behind her, I grabbed her hairbrush and started brushing her silky raven hair. Her hair is really soft and silky even as she had it longer than she had in middle school. And honestly, it looks prettier and does suit her.
After I brushed her hair, I took her headband and placed it in her hair.
"Thanks, Momoko." She said, plastering a small smile.
"You better get some sleep once we're in the organization." I scolded. "We might be doing very late night missions and I need you both to be up and ready."
Kaoru chuckled, grabbing her black belt. "Yeah, I will."
"Better get changed. We're gonna fetch Miyako." I said with a grin.
"Killer Butterfly!" She immediately put on the belt and transformed into her villain form. After her transformation, I left her room and went to the dark blue door at the end of the hallway. But before I opened the door, I waited for Butterfly to catch up to me.
Testing my X-ray vision, I scanned the room and I saw Miyako already getting ready. She sat in front of her vanity and she was currently brushing her hair.
"I'm here." Butterfly said as she stood behind me. I turned the doorknob and opened the door. Bright greeted us with her usual charming smile.
"Good morning, guys." She greeted us with a smile.
"Good morning too, Bright." We replied with a grin.
It really intrigued me on how her old innocent look was completely gone. Actually, it shocked me at how the Professor made all three of us look so different. I mean, our faces were still the same, obviously. However, I don't think we'll get mistaken as the Powerpuff Girls Z that easily.
That and the fact that our DNA and prints were different were also very incredible.
Note to self: Take his notes and look over them before going out.
"Come on guys, let's go downstairs. I bet the professor already made breakfast for us." I said with a gentle smile. They nodded and we made our way to the elevator.
When we made it into the living room, we went to the dining room passing our gigantic fish tank. There we saw the professor sitting between Peach and Ken. The table had scrambled eggs, bacon, pancakes, french toast and a pitcher of orange juice.
"Good morning, girls." They greeted us enthusiastically.
"Good morning, everyone." We said as we took a seat down at the table. As we all filled up our plate, we started eating silently.
"So, do you guys have a plan or something?" Ken suddenly asked. I looked at the girls, before bringing my gaze back to Ken.
"Not as of now since we still don't know what we're up against." I replied. "But don't worry, we'll have one on the way. Considering that we're all in this together, I bet it will be like a walk in the park."
"Well, after you girls eat, come up to the experiment room. We'll discuss your mission further." Professor said as he took his, Ken's and Peach's plates to the sink. All three of them then went to the elevator, going up towards the laboratory I assume.
Better eat fast.
Narrative P.O.V. / Third Person's P.O.V.
After the girls finished their meal, Butterfly held Bright's and Bloom's hand and they teleported to the experiment room. After a twist of a knob, the door opened.
The room had a lot of gizmos and gadgets. There was a sectioned place for chemistry use and there was even a cabinet full of microscopes. Some of the Professor's best inventions were displayed near the window while smaller inventions were displayed on a glass table.
It was only the Professor who was there, which means that Ken and Peach were in their own rooms.
"Sit down girls." Professor instructed, pointing at the leather couch in the middle of the room.
They obeyed and sat down. The Professor then went to a black wooden desk, opening the drawer as he took out a metallic box. He then stood in front of the girls with the box in his hands.
"I have made a device that will help us to communicate while you're in R.I.D. Headquarters. I call it the invisible communication electronic device, or ICED for short." He explained.
"Cool, but what do we need these for?" Butterfly asked.
"I want you girls to turn on this device before you go to sleep. It is basically like a walkie-talkie. It fits in your ear and if you press this little button, it will make it invisible." He said.
"Woah, you really did prepare for this, huh?" Butterfly commented. "Do we get other things?"
"Well, this and the belts were really the only things I could manage to make in such a short time."
Bright cocked her head to the side. "But didn't you also make other inventions aside from those two? Doesn't that mean you had extra time?"
The Professor laughed nervously, "W-Well, never mind that let's m-move on."
Clearing his throat, the Professor started to continue his explanation. "Now, don't worry if you lose it. A little button on your compact will help you find ICED. You can contact us through this and vice versa. Occasionally, we might be giving assignments to you guys so make sure that you always have this near you. However, it will be up to you to form a plan in order to destroy R.I.D."
The Professor then handed over the small device to the girls. They placed them in their ear and pressed the tiny red button, making the device completely invisible. Fortunately, the device was very lightweight so it felt comfortable for them.
"Okay, so now that's done, how do we actually find the R.I.D.?" Butterfly asked the Professor.
"Well, I have triangulated the general area of where the castle should be, basing it on the locations that Mr. Jones gave." He said as he started to show a map on the big screen computer.
Butterfly crossed her arms over her chest. "Hopefully it's accurate enough."
"First, you have to head south of Tokyo until you reach the dark forest which is five kilometers from here." He started, "After you reach the dark forest, you will head 251 meters east, 433 meters north and 524 meters west. If my calculations are correct, you'll stumble upon a very large field. Once you do, you'll have to shout the words "Heaven is mine" so that the castle will reveal itself."
"As expected, the place is heavily protected." Bloom commented. "I was wondering, if anyone knows the code words, will the castle still reveal itself?"
The Professor shrugged. "I'm not sure, but I'm sure that they're very careful in choosing the ones they allow to enter the premises." He stated. "But once you get there, it will be up to you on how the three of you will sabotage the organization from the inside."
They all nodded, having memorized all the information given. "Make sure you don't let your guard down, girls. We're all counting on you."
"We know." Bloom started. "We're going to miss you guys." And with that, the Professor hugged his girls. The hug lasted for a few seconds before they all let go.
"Tell Peach and Ken that we'll miss them." Bright said with a gentle smile.
With a nod, the Professor gave the signal. "Your mission starts now." Professor said as he dismissed the girls.
And just like that, they flew off to the nearest window in the room. They immediately headed south just like the Professor instructed.
"What's exactly the plan, Momo?" Butterfly asked as she flew beside Bloom.
"Don't cause any suspicions, act evil, don't cause any trouble inside their headquarters, and don't show any heroine attitude." She briefly explained.
"Well, that's kind of what I was thinking. I was wondering how we're going to do that?"
"Do what they want us to do in order for them to get the impression that we willingly accept the needs for being an agent for R.I.D. We have to make sure we don't get caught when we want to get some information. Also, don't be too persistent in getting information." Bloom replied.
"Well, that seems good enough for now." Butterfly said.
"Are there any other things that we have to do? About the agents or anything like that?" Bright asked as she flew beside Butterfly.
Taking in a deep breath, Bloom began to formulate a temporary mission plan.
"We will carefully take out the agents one by one, starting with the weak ones. However, make sure to be clean when doing it. As we eliminate all the backup agents, we face off all our past enemies with the use of our new powers. Once all our enemies are eliminated, we head for the boss. Understood?" Both Bright and Butterfly nodded in agreement.
After a five-minute flight, the girls made it to the so-called dark forest. However, they stopped since there were too many dead trees in their way. Bloom signaled Butterfly and she nodded.
She made a few movements with her hands and wind blew the trees to the sides, making a pathway for them in one swift move. Not wasting any time, they flew in the forest and followed the exact coordinates that the professor gave. They went through many twists and turns, trying to find the empty field that they were instructed to find.
They deviated a bit from the exact location, but it was then that they found the large, empty field. It was well hidden despite its vast size, they couldn't even catch a glimpse of Tokyo anymore. It was surrounded by a lot of tall dead trees, which really covered the area even more.
The girls looked at each other and nodded. They all held hands and shouted, "Heaven is mine!"
After saying those words, the ground started to shake. Out of nowhere, an enormous ten-storey castle started to appear. As the ground shook furiously, the girls weren't able to keep their balance as they fell down on the green grass.
After a few more moments, the shaking stopped, making the girls stare in awe at the building in front of them.
The castle was well made and didn't have any sign of wear and tear despite giving off a very gothic vibe with the ornate decorations. The tall gate that served as a border for the castle had a few flames erupting from the posts with the letters R.I.D. being formed in the middle of the gate. Beyond that gate was a brick pathway leading to the dark red entrance doors.
This castle was simply beyond outstanding.
"State your name and your purpose." A voice was suddenly heard, making the girls jump.
The voice sounded really familiar to them. It was then that a holographic image of a woman was shown through a small keypad on one of the gate's posts. She had dark green hair that stood out like snakes; her skin was very pale, making the very bright red hue of her lipstick stand out.
Of course, it was none other than Sedusa.
Her leather dress was skintight, showing off her voluptuous figure. On her neck was a very distinct tattoo that the girls were all too familiar with. A dark purple raven insignia was inked on her skin, worn as a sign of pride and honor of being a member of this notorious organization.
"Danger Rave Girls, applying to be agents." Bloom firmly stated. Sedusa pressed a few buttons and the gates were opened. All three of them kept their composure as they entered the dark castle.
Bright's P.O.V.
We entered the castle as soon as the gates opened. Looking around, the place had an eerie feeling to it. I wasn't sure if it was the décor or just the overall atmosphere that was making me a bit nervous. As we stood at the very entrance, we heard a loud beep before the large burgundy doors opened before us.
And what we saw was not what we were expecting.
Even though the castle looked gothic on the outside, it was all high tech on the inside. The whole inside of the castle seemed futuristic. The interior was pure white and silver, making everything look so intriguing.
How did they get it to be like this?
Bloom nudged us a bit as we all stood in shock. Following her lead, we made our way inside. The doors behind us shut immediately, a loud bang echoing throughout as we turned to look back in shock.
Oh God, what did we get ourselves into?
"Welcome." A voice suddenly said. We glanced over our shoulder and saw a very familiar monkey standing right in front of us.
Well, in front of me.
I took a step back as I felt his long shaggy hair touching me. "Get that shitty monkey fur away from my face." I snapped, making me a bit startled at myself. I rarely swear. Where did that word come from, exactly?
Butterfly and Bloom shot their eyes at me as if I killed someone. Were they that shocked at what I just said? I mean, I'll be honest, it really did shock me too. But I thought the whole idea was to fit in?
"What a lady with manners." He said with sarcasm, sighing.
"So these are the new recruits that you've been talking about, Mojo." Sedusa said as she suddenly stood beside Mojo, seemingly coming from one of the many corridors of this place. "It's a pleasure to be working with you three, welcome to the R.I.D."
I froze. I didn't really expect that kind of welcome here. Is it all for show since we're the new guys here?
"The pleasure's all ours." Bloom replied flatly, putting one hand on her hip.
Sedusa nodded before directing her attention towards Mojo. "I have something to do, I'll come back later." She said. "For now, I'll leave them in your care."
And with that, Sedusa left for God knows where, making Mojo mutter to himself. "I'm left again to deal with the rookies. Don't they know I'm busy too?!" He sighed before he started fiddling with something on his watch.
"So what now?" Butterfly asked out of the blue, crossing her arms.
Looking back at us, he gestured to us to follow him. Obliging, we trailed behind him as we walked through the lobby of the castle. Many agents were walking around, some carried files and folders, some were talking with someone through their earpiece, and many more were on their computers as they typed furiously.
It almost reminds me of LUX.
As we made our way through many corridors, Mojo led us to a room with the initials T.R. on it
"My boys will take it from here." Mojo said as he left us in front of the room.
"Hey, wait—" I started, but he was already gone like the wind. We all tried to find out where he went, but he was long gone.
Bloom facepalmed. "Well, I never really expected things to be easy anyway."
That was odd, I thought he was going to assist us? What were we supposed to do? All of a sudden he says something about his boys and then he—
Wait a minute, did he just say his boys?
Could it be?
"Hey, babe." I was almost reluctant, but I couldn't help but look over my shoulder. Those voices were unfamiliar somehow, but as soon as we caught a glimpse of who they were, it left us staring. It was none other than…
The Rowdyruff Boys.
Butterfly's P.O.V.
Oh great, the Rowdyruff Boys are going to be with us. Who knew that we'd reunite again after five years? What a really fun day we're having, aren't we?
It's not really that surprising, to say the least, considering that they are one of our long-term rivals. However, it's pretty fucking weird seeing them after all those years. But how come we have to be with them? I don't really have fond memories involving them, and I just get the feeling that today wasn't going to be a good day.
Though I have to admit, they don't look bad at all.
Brick kept his signature cap, still put on backwards. He still had his hair long, albeit it seemed to be more of a darker red color as it now flowed a few inches past his shoulders. Adding more to his look were two black piercings on his ears.
Boomer still had his pale blonde hair in a winged style. Though a bit shaggier before, it framed his face perfectly, reminding me of a model. He also had a few accessories of his own, a prominent dangling earring hanging from his left ear.
On the other hand, Butch had his hair in a low ponytail. His bangs partially covered his right eye just like before, though a bit shorter. Like his brothers, he too had piercings that could be seen, and they were three silver ring piercings on his left ear.
Their clothes weren't that bad either.
They all wore black leather jackets left unzipped, showing their t-shirts that were in their respective color. They wore dark jeans with chains hanging from both sides. And to finish their outfit, black fingerless gloves and sneakers in their respective colors.
And did I mention that they were fucking tall?
"Better watch it, you don't really know who you're talking to." I threatened, crossing my arms over my chest.
"Then why don't you say we try to get to know each other better, hon?" Butch said as he slyly held my hand.
I quickly pulled my hand back, glaring at him. "Back off," I said. "That is unless you want to get your ass kicked."
"Oh, feisty now, aren't we?" He chuckled. "I like that."
"You better shut that pretty little mouth of yours before I rip it off your fucking face." I started to crack my knuckles, who the fuck does he think he is?
Butch chuckled, "Make me." He taunted, making me clench my fist in anger. I was about to punch him when he was suddenly hit in the head by Brick.
"I will make you shut up if you don't start thinking with your brain instead of your dick." Brick said, making Boomer laugh hysterically.
"Serves you right." Boomer said.
He glared at his brothers, "Tch, assholes." Butch said as he rubbed the sore spot on his head.
Sighing, Brick stepped up and faced us.
"Well anyway, I'm sorry for everything my idiotic brother had to say. It's always like this." He said, looking over towards Butch.
"No harm done." Bloom replied with a blank expression.
"I don't want to cause any trouble so I'll cut to the chase. I'm Brick, the blonde one is Boomer and the pervert over here is Butch." Brick said earning a light glare from Butch. "And you girls are?"
"Bloom, Bright and Butterfly." Bloom effortlessly said as she pointed to each one of us. "Now gentlemen, we didn't really get any proper assistance around here for the past five minutes so before I get impatient, you better just show us where the boss is before I freeze your asses."
A cold and icy aura began to form in her hands as she smirked at the boys.
Weren't we supposed to not cause any suspicion?
I think she's taking the phrase "ice princess" too literally.
Just then, a fire ball immediately flew across the room and melted the ice in her hands. Bloom's eyes went wide, making us turn our heads to see Brick with flames erupting from his left hand. When and how did he even get those?!
"Calm down, Ice Princess." Brick said with a smirk which earned a deadly glare from Bloom.
Was he a mind-reader too?
He then lowered his hand, extinguishing the flames. "There's some stuff we need to assess first, a test if you will."
Brick walked towards the door as his brothers stayed put with their hands in their pockets. A hand scanner then suddenly appeared beside the door, making Brick place his hand on it. A beeping sound was heard as the door opened.
Brick's P.O.V.
What a very amusing day we're having today. I mean yeah, showing the new recruits around is exactly how I want to spend my weekend. And I guess all the other people in this place are so fucking busy that they had to call us to do it. Seriously, couldn't they get one of their own lackeys to handle this?
Rolling my eyes, we all entered the training room, making the three little ladies stare in awe.
It was a simple training room, but the space it occupied was massive. The room was white all over, housing different kinds of weapons and dummies on the walls. It looks pretty basic at first, but this training room wasn't that ordinary. In fact, those weapons and dummies lying there were all just for show.
I paused for a moment, catching a glimpse at one of the new recruits.
I just couldn't get my eyes off her. She looks a lot like Blossom in that it was almost uncanny. But what amazed me was her piercing red eyes that seemed even brighter than mine. And I thought I was the only one who had a weird eye color.
She looks so much like her, yet so different. Interesting little ice princess. I guess it wouldn't hurt to get to know her a little more after this test.
"Stay here." I ordered as my brothers and I flew off to the control panel. Once we flew in through the open window, we immediately sat down on the chairs provided. The control panel was basically a small booth that overlooked the whole training room, and it was what controls the things that they'll be fighting.
I looked through the glass panel and saw them standing there, dumbfounded. Looking over to my right, Butch had already inserted the keys that activated this control room. Boomer, who was seated on my left, began configuring the different controls. A green light flashes above us, prompting me to press a purple button and select the number five switch beside it.
As a standard procedure in entering this organization, each recruit is required to complete the minimum amount of levels out of all the many different levels in this test. Usually the tests start at level one, but frankly, I didn't want this test to go for so long. This training test has 20 levels, the passing level being level 5.
Recruits who are able to accomplish level 5-9 are for E and D-ranked agents, level 10-12 is for C-ranked agents, level 13-14 are for B-ranked agents, level 15-17 are for A-ranked agents and level 18-20 are for S ranked agents.
And their importance in this organization is greatly based on that rank.
As soon as I pressed the level 5 button, fifty robots emerged from hidden doors in the walls and started to surround them. The trio got into their battle stance as weapons began to appear in their hands. Suddenly, the robots started charging with their laser guns.
The redhead, who I'm assuming is their leader, drew two blades and began to charge at the robots. Without even getting a single scratch on her, she sliced through the robots, decapitating and dismembering each one of them. In just a span of a few seconds, she took out eighteen robots on her own.
At the same time, blondie took out a bunch of senbons. Her eyes scanned every one of them, quickly throwing the needles and piercing their cores. The robots short circuited and collapsed, a total of ten robots falling before her feet.
The raven-haired one summoned a katana once the robots came into sight. Drawing her sword, she quickly ran past the robots, swiftly plunging and slicing it through their bodies. With each swing, the force caused robot parts to fly everywhere as she finished off the last remaining robots.
So they are capable.
Looking over towards my brother, I ordered, "Boomer, scan them." He nodded as he began typing on his panel. After a few seconds, he printed out three papers of the girl's profile, giving both Butch and I a copy.

R.I.D. Scan 091517 Complete.
Interesting, these girls are something. I looked through the glass frame and I saw all of the robots were already defeated. They all stood there, looking at us with a smirk on their faces.
Those girls sure work fast.
"Give us a better challenge!" Raven over there shouted.
A challenge huh? Oh, I'll give you a challenge.
I rose the level to level 18. Three giant dragons appeared before them. One dragon controlled fire, the other one controlled water and the other controlled earth. But instead of seeing shock on their faces, they were all smirking.
Narrative/Third Person's P.O.V.
All three girls once again took their battle stance as they prepared to fight the beasts right in front of them. Bloom used her X-ray vision, scanning the beasts to pinpoint any vital points.
"Bright, hit them on their necks and wings. Butterfly and I will make a distraction while you use your senbon needles. Use your poison, considering that these guys are huge, they won't go down that easily. Once you've done that, we'll all take them down together." Bloom ordered her friends as they both nodded back in response.
Bright zoomed towards the beasts. Bloom used her ice breath to slow their movements while Butterfly threw wind scythes that sliced through the beasts' flesh. The dragons roared in pain as it cut their flesh. The fire dragon was angry, trying to break through the ice that began to form at its scales but Butterfly knocked it back with her winds.
Looking at her friend, Bloom looked at her with a smile. "Thanks."
"Don't mention it." She said. "You know, for a fire dragon I'd expect it to be weak to ice." She said, pointing towards the fire dragon.
Bloom shrugged in response. "We haven't really mastered our powers yet. But don't worry. I'll get this one to behave."
"I'll take care of the brown one, I'll leave those two to you." Butterfly said, making Bloom nod in agreement. And with that, all three dragons were trapped.
As the dragons were now cornered, Bright flew up and brought out her senbon needles. With her pinpoint accuracy, she threw her needles puncturing the beasts' necks and wings.
"Let's just hope that dosage was enough to knock you guys out." Bright said as she sent an electric shock wave through the water beast.
Bloom threw icicles towards the beasts' eyes hoping to blind them. The dragons roared as the icicles were successfully thrown in their eyes. The dragons went haywire, desperately trying to force their eyes open.
The fire dragon worked its way out of Bloom's ice trap, roaring as the blood in its eyes started to affect his sight. In an attempt to grab one of the girls, the fire dragon clawed every surface. Bright and Butterfly were able to dodge it but the dragon was able to land his sharp claws on Bloom's arm, grazing the delicate flesh.
Bloom hissed in pain as small drops of blood started to seep from the wound. Ignoring the pain, she threw ice knives at the dragons. Bright made electrical chains that held the dragons in place, eventually immobilizing them. Butterfly then started to throw more wind blades, cutting deeper into their skin.
The fire dragon breathed fire making the girls jump backwards. The water dragon picked up Bright's scent and it threw hot water spikes at her which she successfully dodged with her quick reflexes.
That was then the dragons stopped their attacks. The lifeless dragons fell on the ground, hard. The poison on Bright's needles really knocked out the dragons in no time.
Victoriously, the girls have completed the level. They were all high-fiving each other as they looked at the beasts in front of them.
The boys, who watched the whole fight, were astonished. No one has completed level 18 in one try. And on their recruitment day, no less.
These girls will make history.
The boys flew out of the control panel and they headed back to the training grounds. They swiftly landed and they gave the girls a smirk.
"Nice job, the boss wants to see you personally." Brick said, stopping to look at Bloom's wound. "Do you need help with that? I could get our nurse." He stated, pointing to the wound that Bloom had on her arm.
"It's fine, I'll manage." Bloom said firmly as she attempted to cover the wound with her hand. Bright went to her friend's side as she brought out a roll of bandage from her pocket. She wrapped it neatly on Bloom's arm making sure it's not too tight or too loose.
Bloom slightly smiled at Bright. "You never forget to bring emergency stuff, huh?" Bloom said.
"It has become a habit." Bright replied. "And I kind of asked the Professor to have a secret compartment for it in my belt." As she said that, Bloom couldn't help but giggle.
Typical Miyako.
After Bright finished putting on the bandage, Boomer gestured to the girls to follow them. Butterfly and Bright wrapped their arms around Bloom to support her.
They went to a room that was marked 'M.R.' Boomer placed his hand on the hand scanner as the two doors opened.
It was a meeting room.
It had a long table that had twenty-five chairs. Sitting on those chairs were Mojo Jojo, Sedusa, Ace, Fuzzy, and other villains who were unknown to the girls. The Rowdyruff Boys sat down beside their creator, Mojo. The girls sat down on the three empty seats in front Ace.
Everyone in the room directed their attention at the girls, making them roll their eyes.
As everyone was settled down, a huge monitor descended from the ceiling and stopped to hover a few inches above the table. It was placed at the very end, and after a while, it turned on. Nothing much could be seen, except for a red leather chair that was turned around.
"Greetings, your highness." Every villain said, excluding the girls.
'So, this is their boss.' Bloom thought. 'Guess he really likes to remain mysterious.'
"What are the results of these so-called Danger Rave Girls?" The mysterious person said in a deep, and manly disguised voice.
"Cleared level 18." Butch said effortlessly as he laid back in his chair.
"I see, very interesting." The mysterious person said. "Brick, I trust their V.P.I.s have been taken care of?"
"Yes, I've already sent you the files, Your Highness." He replied.
"Excellent." The person said, chuckling softly. "Now Danger Rave Girls, mind having a little interview?" The mysterious person asked.
"Shoot." Butterfly said as she crossed her arms.
"May I ask your names, my dears?"
"I'm Bright, the redhead is Bloom and the raven haired one is Butterfly." Bright stated. 'Not that you can see anyway.'
"And where do you come from?"
"We were made by Professor Jones who stole DNA from the Powerpuff Girls Z before he went and joined this organization." Bloom started. "Along with some roaches, slugs and poisonous bugs, you could say that we are the evil female counterparts of those brats." Bloom said, masking disgust in her voice as she emphasized the last word.
"I see, yes, I do recall him. He's a very talented scientist, and that also explains why you look a lot like those girls."
Bloom chuckled. "Indeed. We are, in a way, his daughters."
The boss became silent for a while, "And why exactly do you want to join this organization? I must admit this is not a playground for little girls like you."
"Our father swore loyalty to this organization, and that's why joining we want to get stronger and crush those puny Powerpuff Girls Z!" Butterfly said forcibly punching the table at the words 'Powerpuff Girls Z'
The mysterious person then chuckled as the other people in the room smirked at us.
"Very well, all three of you are officially accepted into this organization. I am now approving you girls as S-ranked agents of the organization." The person said as the sound of slow clapping resonated from the monitor. "Welcome to the R.I.D."
Everyone in the room followed suit, clapping at the girls as the monitor went off. The girls then looked at each other, smirking and chuckling.
Step 1 was complete in their mission, and now comes the fun part.
Looks like the girls will now be able to destroy the organization... from the inside.
Bloom's P.O.V.
"Follow me, girls, let's get your insignia marked." Sedusa said as she stood up with her tall purple heels.
"Excuse me?" Bright asked, raising her eyebrow at her.
"Every accepted member will be tattooed with our logo, symbolizing your membership and loyalty to us." She explained. "Now then, come on now, we best not keep the artists waiting."
As she left the meeting room, we immediately stood up and followed her. The hall was still crowded. Squeezing through the sea of people, we finally caught up to her as she led us to a room that had the initials I.R. on it
We entered the room, and I was not happy at all.
It looked like a typical tattoo parlor. Many designs were hung up on the wall, and there were chairs for the clients. There were no other people in the room except for a few ladies and gentlemen with needles in their hands.
Needles.
Oh, dear God.
"Sayuri, get their insignia tattooed pronto." Sedusa said, leading us to a woman that had electrifying blue hair that reached her waist. "I'm on a tight schedule so I need to brief these girls as soon as possible."
The woman she was talking to looked at all three of us, scanning our features. She had tattoos all over her arms. She was wearing a black T-shirt with a red skater skirt and black sneakers. She looked really pretty even though she was full of tattoos, not to mention those bright yellow eyes that shone like the stars.
"Understood, you three come sit here then." She showed us three chairs and she gave us a very charming and genuine smile. She seems nice, although the needle in her hand was the thing I was concerned about.
As we sat down, she looked over at us. "So, what color do you want your insignia to be?"
"Scarlet red."
"Sapphire blue."
"Emerald green."
"Not really much of a surprise, just tell me where you want it to be inked." She said, laughing. Sayuri snapped her fingers and two girls with fiery red hair came in. They had the same clothes as Sayuri and they had stunning purple eyes. They looked so much alike.
"These are Kairi and Kiki, my assistants." Both girls bowed down as they went to Butterfly and Bright while Sayuri came to me.
They all pulled out their needles at the same time. Before she could start, I leaned in to whisper something in her ear.
"Is this going to hurt?" I asked, a bit worried.
She looked at me before smiling. "Nervous, huh?" She asked.
"A little bit."
"Well then, I'll just get you something." As she slowly walked away from me, I looked over at Butterfly and Bright.
How could they be so calm?!
They were both already getting their tattoos; Bright was getting hers near her waist while Butterfly was having hers at the back of her shoulder. I stared at them as the needle dug into their skin, penetrating it, puncturing it.
Kill me now.
"Here we go." As I snapped my head towards the sudden voice, I was met with Sayuri.
She held some sort of machine in her hands. As she placed it on her table, she slowly bent down to plug it in. After that, she placed something on my lap. I took it and I started fumbling with it. It looked like some sort of oxygen mask.
"Put it on, darling." She said. "It will help you calm down as we go on." Nodding, I nervously placed the mask on my face. My hands shook as I did. However, as I took a big whiff of air from the mask, I started to feel relaxed.
"There we go." Sayuri said as she started to prepare her materials. As I rested my head on the chair, I heard Butterfly snickering beside me.
"Hey Sayuri," She started. "When do you think the knockout gas is going to kick in?"
"GAS?!"
And just like that, I was out.
Butterfly's P.O.V.
After a very long time of waiting for the insignia to be finished, it was finally done. Looking at my tattoo's reflection in the mirror, I couldn't help but smirk in delight. I've always wanted one, and it looked awesome! Aside from the fact that this was this hell's symbol, it still looked cool with all the raven wings and devil tail.
However, my mind immediately began imagining the Professor's reaction about this. I can already imagine his speech being "How could they do this to such young and innocent girls?! Tainting their sweet and flawless skin!"
I chuckled lightly. He became a big father figure after the incident, and it's very sweet to know that he truly cares about us.
Let's just hope the Professor won't completely lose his shit about this.
I looked over towards Bright who was also looking at her tattoo in awe. I grinned at her as our eyes met. She then pointed something to my left, and that's when I remembered.
Damn, what a pussy.
I looked over at Bloom, snickering as she was still knocked out from the gas that Sayuri gave her. Man, and I thought Bright was the scaredy-cat.
"When is she going to wake up?" I asked Sayuri who was finishing Bloom's tattoo. She looked at her watch before standing up from her seat.
"Right about now." And just as she said that Bloom started to groan as she gripped her head in pain.
"Man, how long was I out?"
"Man, how long have you not known what sleeping gas was?" I said as I laughed.
"Shut it, moron." Bloom replied, which made me laugh even more.
"Don't call me a moron after what just happened." I said.
"Whatever." As she got up from her seat, Sayuri gave her something.
"Take it as an apology, Bloom. It's just how we do things here." She explained.
"Yeah, I understand." Bloom replied, trying to keep her balance. She then tried to remove the wrapping from her candy. Although, she is having a hard time with it.
Giggling, Sayuri helped her to stand properly.
"It'll help with the dizziness." She said as she walked away. Putting the lollipop in her mouth, she then gestures to us to come with her.
After bidding our farewells to the girls, we quickly made our way out of the room. And as we opened the door, we immediately met with Sedusa.
"I see you're already done. Follow me as we will now head to your rooms." She said as she looked at Sayuri."Thank you, Sayuri, I'll take it from here." Sedusa then closed the door as we started walking.
Who knew she could be polite?
Sedusa led us out of the room and we all made our way to an elevator. But before we got on the elevator, she explained something about our room.
"Your room will be on the 7th floor of this building." She started. "The 8th floor is forbidden to all agents unless called upon by your highness. Any agent caught breaking this rule will face severe punishment."
"Okay, where are we staying then?" Bright asked.
"Due to the large space of the Jojo brothers' room, your highness has decided to split the room for you girls and the boys. It was done in a hurry so I hope you girls don't mind. It will still come with top quality amenities, as well as other stuff you would wish to request in the future."
"Wait, what?" I asked. "You're kidding right?"
"Unfortunately, I'm not." She said. "Is something the matter?"
"If you consider living with a perverted idiot a problem, then there is." I said as I pinched the bridge of my nose.
Could this day get any worse?
"I do understand that Butch could be a little… hard to control sometimes." She started.
You don't know the half of it.
"However, S-ranked agents are very rare in this time and age and that's why we are asking you to bear with us." She said. "Unless you girls would want to move into a less furnished suite?"
"We're not really looking forward to lowering our rank here now, are we?" Bloom asked as she gave me a light glare, making me grumble in response. "Please just ignore my sister. We're looking forward to our new roommates. Although, are there any more things that we should know?"
As Sedusa looked at me, she sighed before continuing what she was saying. "Each agent can choose a mission according to rank, or they are assigned to them instead, which is more common. They acquire missions from the M.D.P. or also known as the Mission Dialog Panel." She then showed us her wristwatch. "With this, you earn money and credits that may come with the mission.
"The M.D.P. does not only contain the mission panel. It also contains the backup button and the medic button. The backup button sends out 2-4 E-B rank agents in case of an emergency. The medic button teleports you back to headquarters once seriously injured during a mission.
"An agent can either work solo or in a team, and you may also communicate through these devices. The amount of missions that an agent can acquire is purely based on their rank, and it is also up to them to choose which missions they want to take if they are available."
"I see." Bloom said. "That's good to know. May we see these watches for ourselves?"
"Well, there is something else that you should know."
"What?"
"The rules here in the organization."
"What are they?" Bright asked.
"For starters, anyone who helps heroes in crime fighting is automatically removed from R.I.D. Any show of concern for a certain superhero will lead to severe punishment. Anyone causing a major fight inside headquarters will face their consequences. Anyone destroying a major part in the castle will have to pay for the damage and at the same time face punishment. Anyone breaking these rules will face Your Highness for the punishment." She explained.
"Well, I guess that's understandable." Bloom said. "Shall we go now?"
How come she's persistent in going where those jerks were? For me, I am pretty sure that I don't want to be living with one of the Jojo brothers, let alone the most annoying one. Why did they get to live with the more normal ones?
"I guess we shall. Follow me, ladies." She then walked into the elevator with us trailing behind her.
As we stepped inside, she pressed the number seven button. And just like that, we started going up. After a few seconds, we finally reached the seventh floor. The door opened and we stepped out of the elevator.
A wall blocked our path with a sign on it saying 'S-rank agents only'
Looks like rank really is a big deal here.
A keypad appeared before Sedusa as she typed in the numbers 7-2-3-1-6-4. A loud beep was heard as the wall disappeared. Sedusa then gestured to us to follow her, making us trail behind her once again. And just as we passed through, the wall reappeared.
Okay, freaky as hell.
"The wall reappears in order to keep away intruders." Sedusa reassured as she gave us a tour across the hallway. "It's not just any wall that can be broken down, so rest assured that you are safe here.
We then stopped in the middle of the hallway. There were three doors, two of them were on the left-hand side while the other one was on the right. There was a considerable amount of space in between the doors, might be because of the big space of the room or the boys each wanted their own sense of privacy.
The first door on the left, the one closest to the elevator, was in blue. Next to it was a red one and the very last one, which is on the other side, was in green.
I don't think you have to be a genius to figure out whose room belonged to which Jojo brother.
"All rooms are soundproof and don't worry, the room is way bigger on the inside." She explained, handing us our keys. "These keys will be your primary means of entering but do take note that we also have security measures should anyone other than you and roommates try to enter your room."
"Understood, anything else?" Bloom asked, quietly playing with the key in her hand.
"Your M.D.P.s will be placed in your rooms. You are all allowed to choose a mission for today. If you want to rest, it will be understandable." Sedusa said as she walked away and walked across the hallway and entered a room that had a purple door. But before she could walk in, she looked at us with a smile.
"Good luck, girls."
Bright's P.O.V.
After Sedusa entered her room, we were all standing in front of our counterpart's door. We all looked at each other and we nodded. I took a deep breath and my hand grabbed a hold of the doorknob.
Here goes nothing.
I slid the key into its hole and opened the door. Slowly peeking in the room, I scanned every corner. As I looked to my right, there was Boomer, sitting on one of the leather couches in the room.
As my hand trembled, I slowly stepped into the room. Finally getting a better look around, my eyes grew as wide as saucers.
There was a 72-inch curved plasma tv with three leather couches. The walls and carpet were both in cobalt blue. On the left was a king-sized bed with a white nightstand beside it. There was a desk that had a blue computer with a yellow octopus toy sitting on the C.P.U. He even had a fish tank that had different kinds of koi fish.
This room is like my room and my living room combined!
As I stood here wide-eyed, I suddenly felt a pair of eyes staring at me. Glancing towards his direction, I was met with his dark blue eyes. His soft pink lips curled into a smirk as he leaned his head on his hand that was propped up on the sofa. I kept my composure, putting on a poker face.
"Nice room you got here." I said as I stepped in closer. Silently, I closed the door behind me.
"Thanks, your room is just like it." He said as he got up from the couch and led me to a plain white door that read "Bright" just a few feet from where he sat. He opened it, revealing a smaller room with a bed, nightstand, and two other doors on the wall. Just like my old room back home, it had a vanity and a full body mirror.
I cleared my throat as I looked over my shoulder. "So… I didn't really bring any clothes with me…"
Were we supposed to? I can't exactly remember.
"Don't worry, your closet's just beside your bed. We have some clothes provided for you all in there. The other door will be your personal bathroom." He explained.
"Got it." I replied. "Will it fit me though? I mean, I assume you guys don't know my size or whatever."
Boomer crossed his arms, leaning against the door frame. "Well, you were basically scanned the moment you entered the building so I doubt that it wouldn't fit you to a T. There are always on duty agents who are tasked to fix clothes for others, and they do it on record time too."
Okay, weird, but kind of curious when he mentioned scanning us. I didn't think it would be such a detailed one. It really makes you wonder how they are able to do all of this.
"Plus, if ever you don't like the clothing you could just rob a nearby mall or let some other agent do it for you."
"Ah, no, no! That won't be necessary, I'm not that picky." I protested, waving my hands in front of my face. "Anyway, where's the watch thing?" I asked, making him chuckle.
"The M.D.P. watch is right there on your bed." He said, pointing at the object that sat on the bright white pillows.
"I knew that." I said, placing my hands on my hips.
"Sure you did." He said, making me lightly glare at him. As I started to examine the room, a sudden growl in my stomach reminded me of the time.
When did time fly so fast?
"So…" I started. "When's lunch?"
"Lunch will be your choice. There's a tablet on your nightstand that will give you a list of lunch meals available. Since it's only 12:00, you can rest for a while. Lunch will be served at 1:00 sharp." He explained.
"Do you guys have a script or something? You guys have been answering our questions in full detail for the past few hours." I asked, making him smile.
"Not exactly." He said. "But anyways, you should get some rest. I'll call you when lunch is ready." He then gave me a smile as he closed the door.
I sat down on my bed as I picked up the M.D.P. watch. It looked like a standard watch, but it seemed more complicated with all the different buttons.
However, these watches were familiar.
Wait a minute.
I have seen this on the amoeba boys before. It was during our last fight, which has to be ages ago. I think I even saw Mojo wearing this. Wow, how come I didn't remember that when Sedusa showed it to us?
I wore the little black watch on my left wrist and it fits like a charm. And honestly, it didn't look bad. I'm not really a fan of watches, but nevertheless, it still looked cute.
I took the tablet from my nightstand. I turned it on and I saw the long list of lunch meals to choose from. After going through a total of forty-seven lunch meal choices, I just chose the first one on the list.
I placed the tablet back on the desk as I laid on my bed. I glanced at M.D.P. and it showed that it was already 12:07 pm.
I guess this is the opportunity to take a rest before we finally do our real mission.
