Bright's P.O.V.
"Kaoru, what are you doing?" I asked as Butterfly began to sneak in the Meeting Room. "We're supposed to be waiting for Momoko here, outside of the room."
"Well, she's taking too long." Butterfly retorted. "And besides, I'm not doing anything bad. I'm just looking around."
"We've been here two weeks ago. What part of this room are you interested in?" I asked, tilting my head to the side in confusion.
A few days ago, we got the R.I.D.'s important files. After thoroughly analyzing each one of them, we were able to find out some of Mojo's robots' data. The Professor asked us to find the robots which he believed were hidden somewhere in this place, based on the other files we sent. He wanted us to find their secret location and eventually try to destroy them without causing suspicion.
We tried asking other agents but they had no idea what we were talking about. And as we seemingly had no luck in finding it, we tried asking Mojo himself. We didn't want to seem too desperate so we just made up an excuse that we really admired his work and we really wanted to see his inventions.
Fortunately, due to the flattery, Mojo said that there's a secret room in the Meeting Room that would lead us to his inventions. He told us to be very subtle in searching for the room for only a few people knew about this; including his sons, and other S-ranked agents.
After sharing much-needed information, we heavily thanked him, convincing him that we idolized him so much. Although, he was still a bit skeptical as he asked how we knew about his inventions when he hadn't even seemed to use them. Again, we just lied and told him that we heard stories about his inventions through his sons. And once again, he believed every word we said.
It was honestly a risky move, but we're glad it paid off.
Now, it was already 12:30 am.
We planned this for a few days now, but it seems that Momoko was having trouble sneaking out. She told us that Brick was still awake and he didn't seem to be sleeping any time soon. Kaoru suggested that she'd just fetch Momoko but she refused the offer, saying that it might cause some commotion. She asked us to wait for her as she tried to find a way out of her room.
"Well, Miyako," She said. "I'm pretty sure that both of us are interested in that secret room that Mojo is talking about. Now, if you want to just wait for her, then go for it. As for me, I want to get some sleep as soon as possible. Someone has been keeping me up all night so I just want this to end."
"You say that every time." I replied. "When are you going to get used to him?"
"Never."
"Well, it'll only be for a few months anyway." I said, crossing my arms over my chest. "Momoko and I seem to be civil with our roommates, so why can't you?"
"Let's see," She said, facing me with an irritated look on her face. "One, he's a pervert. Two, he's an idiot. And three, I hate him."
"For me, I have a ditzy guy who often confuses his right with his left. Momoko, on the other hand, has an arrogant Mr. Know-it-all. I don't think any of us are in a good situation."
"Good point," She replied. "But I don't plan on making friends with him."
"You don't have to, just fake it 'til you make it. Again, it's only for a few months."
"That's too long in my opinion."
"Yes, I know, but this mission we're on isn't exactly that easy now, is it?"
"One day with him will literally kill me. I don't see how a few months is better." She replied. "And before he drives me insane, at least I'm this close to just losing it and killing him." After hearing her reply, I couldn't help but sigh.
There really is no way for her to get used to this mission after all.
After a few minutes, we heard a sudden noise behind us. As we turned around to find out what it was, we saw Momoko in her villain outfit. She looked a bit flustered as she began to make her way towards us.
"Woah, where have you been?" Butterfly asked. "And what happened to you?"
"You don't know how pissed off I am right now."
"Why?" I asked. "What happened with Brick?"
"Well, let's just say that he's a total jerk."
Bloom's P.O.V.
It was already getting late as I sat here in my room, completely stuck as my roommate didn't seem to be asleep yet. I tried sneaking out but he immediately caught me.
"Where the hell are you going?" Brick asked as his eyes left the TV and met with mine. "And why aren't you asleep yet?"
"Uh, I-I was just..." I said, trying to think of an excuse. "I w-was going to go outside to get some fresh air."
"At night?"
"I can't sleep," I replied. "That's why I need to clear my head for a while."
"Why would you need to clear your head?" Brick asked, crossing his arms over his chest. "Is something bothering you?"
Yeah there is, you!
I clenched my fist in irritation. "I just need to cool off, okay?"
He looked at me with doubt evident in his face. He raised his eyebrow, obviously not buying anything I was saying. Oh for Pete's sake, just let me go.
"You can't actually leave this place." He said, returning his attention back to the TV. "The gates are locked during nighttime."
"I could just fly my way out, you know," I replied, giving out a frustrated groan. "It'll just be for a while."
"You still can't. There's a protective barrier around this place to keep intruders from entering."
"Oh, and let me guess, you're the one who puts that up?"
"Bingo," He replied, chuckling. "Looks like you are smarter than I thought you were."
Letting out a frustrated sigh, I went back to my room. I waited for him to go back to sleep but his damn TV was still on. I was about to lose it at this point. I don't if he's doing this to keep from going out or if it's just to piss me off.
If it's the latter, it's completely working.
I kept peeking through my door with my X-ray Vision to see if he was still there, and to my dismay, he was. It was already 12:30 for Pete's sake! We need to complete our mission now!
I decided to just confront him and persuade him to let me out. I opened my door and I immediately approached him. As I took a deep breath, I began to come up with the words I wanted to say.
'Brick, listen, I really can't sleep. I just need to get some fresh air and I promise I'll come back as soon as possible. I'll even let you have my desserts for the rest of the month if you just let me go for this one night'
Seems good enough.
Besides, there is always a second option, which is just forcing my way out.
As I approached him, I took another deep breath. His back was facing me as he was busy with the TV. I cleared my throat, recalling the words in my head.
"Brick, listen, I know that you won't be sleeping any time soon but I really can't slee—" I was suddenly cut off when I heard the sound of something falling to the ground. Confused, I called out to him.
"Brick?" I walked over the coach, and what I saw made me feel shocked and seriously pissed off.
He sat there, straight and erect, completely normal from behind. But as soon as I walked to the front, he was actually completely sound asleep! To top it off, there was even a bit of drool coming out from the side of his mouth.
What a jerk!
Bright's P.O.V.
As Bloom explained what happened, Butterfly couldn't help but laugh hysterically. "You didn't even bother checking if he was asleep the entire time? That's epic!"
"I was nervous! And besides, the TV was so loud so I thought he was still awake!" Momoko retorted. "Who can even sleep with the TV on full volume?!"
Giggling, I just grabbed Momoko's arm lightly. "Forget about it, we just need to finish this so all of us can get some rest." Bloom then looked at me, smiling.
"You're right." Bloom said. "Well, let's get going then. Have you guys found it yet?" She asked, looking towards Butterfly.
"Nope, but I think your X-ray vision could help." Butterfly said.
Nodding in response, Momoko began scanning the room. A red beam emitted from her eyes as she walked around the room. After a while, she turned around, facing us as she placed her hands on her hip.
"It's not around here."
"What?!" Butterfly exclaimed. "Did that monkey trick us? I'm going to kill him!"
"Woah, Kaoru, chill," Bloom said. "I said it wasn't around here."
"Yeah, so?"
"Because it's underneath us." She said, pointing to the floor beneath us. "There seems to be a switch here, we just need to find it so that we can get those robots."
"What kind of switch are we looking for?" Butterfly asked.
"I'm not sure, just try to find anything that's out of the ordinary. I'm pretty sure that they keep these kinds of stuff hidden."
As both Butterfly and I nodded in response, all of us began to find the switch. Butterfly decided to check the table and chairs while Bloom started looking over the different pictures hanging from the walls. As for me, I went over to the different shelves near the entrance.
It was weird that they needed many shelves with different kinds of books in a meeting room.
However, as I looked through all of them, I realized that they weren't actually books. They were more like photo albums. It was a bit odd, it had pictures of different landscapes. I found one that contained different pictures of all the agents; It was complete from E-rank agents to S-rank agents.
As I looked over all of the photo albums, one stood out. It was pitch black, and it was very thick. It was on the very bottom, making me crouch to pull it out.
However, as I tried to get it, we all heard mechanical sounds coming from beneath us.
"What th—" Before Butterfly could finish her statement, the floor beneath us suddenly disappeared.
"Aah!"
All of us suddenly fell down, screaming as it took us all by surprise.
"Girls!" I heard Bloom scream as both Butterfly and I were almost about to land on the ground.
"Help!" I screamed as I could feel my heartbeat quicken. "Momoko, help!"
"Fuck!" Butterfly exclaimed. "I can't fly!"
"Hyper Blossom!" As both Butterfly and I were close to falling face first on the ground, we both felt something wrap around our waist, pulling us up.
Looking down, I saw a thin string hugging my waist. And it wasn't just any string, it was from Blossom's Yo-yo.
"Are you guys okay?" Blossom asked. "You guys make me nervous!"
"Yeah, we're fine." Butterfly replied. Sighing, Blossom began lowering us down. As our feet touched the ground, the string wrapped around us began to unwind.
"You guys almost gave me a heart attack." Blossom said.
"How come you can fly and we can't?" Butterfly asked. "I could barely move when that stupid floor collapsed!"
"Wait, didn't you guys get the same feeling as we did back when we were in the file room last week?" She asked. "I felt it when I first stepped into the room."
"Now that you mention it, I did," I said. "But it wasn't that obvious like it was in the File Room."
"My guess is that even this room has something that messes up with our powers. And since you guys were here longer than I was, it's no wonder that your powers weren't working."
"That's just bullshit. Seriously? Making the entire floor a trap floor?" Butterfly exclaimed. "Is there not a room in this place that doesn't fuck up our powers?"
"Considering that Mojo had to make a secret entrance for his "robot room," I think it's to be expected." I answered.
Blossom sighed, "Let's just hope no one heard that commotion just now." She said. "It's a good thing that I keep my old compact with me. Who knows what would've happened if I didn't have this with me."
"How did you even do that?" Butterfly asked, pointing to her belt that was now white and had a pink compact inside of it.
"It's not important as of now, let's just go." Blossom said, walking away from us. "We need to find those robots and get out of here as soon as possible."
Nodding, both Butterfly and I began following her.
Narrative/Third Person's P.O.V.
As the three girls have now entered the secret area under the meeting room, they began to look around, trying to find their targets.
Bloom went back to her villain form, quickly scanning for any surveillance cameras that might be in place. As she pinpointed them to Bright and Butterfly, they quickly took out their compacts and sent small EMPs towards them. Once any threat was gone, they began to walk silently towards the light at the end of the corridor.
The place was big, having it be the size of a whole arena. And just like the interior of the castle, it had brightly illuminated lights that lit up the whole place. The walls were ash gray in color, having a hint of shine on them. However, the only thing that opposed the lustrous interior was the rocky ground beneath them.
As they all went deeper, the girls were able to find a giant door that was heavily locked. It had multiple steel rods sealing the doors in place. Looking at each other, they all nodded in agreement. Slowly, they all approached the door, cautiously observing their surroundings as they made their way towards their destination.
After a few more steps, they were face-to-face with the gigantic door holding Mojo's robots.
There was a keypad to the right of the door, but as Bloom held out her compact to bypass it, it apparently wasn't working.
"Well, looks like we have to crack this thing the old-fashioned way." Butterfly stated, looking over towards her friends. "Do you guys have any ideas on a code?"
Both of them shook their heads in response. "Did Mojo mention anything about a code?" Bright asked, causing both Bloom and Butterfly to redirect their attention to her.
"Not that I know of." Bloom said. "It might just be something obvious, like someone's birthday."
"Let's try his birthday." Butterfly suggested, typing in the numbers: 07-02. As she pressed enter, a loud beeping was heard, but the door didn't open.
"That's not it then."
"Kaoru, look out!" Butterfly was then pushed out of the way as a giant axe came swinging above her and Bloom. As both girls remained on the ground for a while, the axe finally retracted back into place.
"Girls!" Bright exclaimed. "Are you guys alright?"
"I've been through worse." Butterfly replied, standing up as she tried to fix her clothes. "Thanks for the save, Momoko."
"Don't mention it." She replied. "Well, at least we can rule out his birthday as the passcode. What else do you think he'll put as his passcode?"
"Maybe it's something related to what he loves?" Bright inquired. "Like his inventions?"
"It's possible," Bloom replied, holding her chin in a thinking-like manner. "But considering the fact he has dozens of robots that he uses regularly, it doesn't seem that he has a favorite."
"Then what else would he use as a code?" Butterfly asked impatiently.
"I've got a hunch," Bloom said, hesitantly hovering her hand over the keypad. "Let's just hope it's the right one." And with that, Bloom began to type the numbers: 11-11. Another beep was heard, making the girls get into position as they waited to see what would happen.
"It better not be another axe." Butterfly said, clenching her fist in anger.
As they expected another trap coming, the doors then began to make a noise. The sound of metal could be heard from behind them, making them look over their shoulder to get a glimpse of what was happening.
The metal rods that kept the door sealed shut began to retract ever so slowly. The sound of locks clicking can also be heard as it echoed throughout the whole area. Giving out a sigh of relief, Bloom regained her composure as the door began to unlock.
'Thank goodness, it worked.' Bloom thought.
And as the last metal rod disappeared from sight, a green light shone from on top of the door.
Another beep was heard as a woman's voice said, "Welcome, Mr. Jojo." After that, the doors slid open, revealing a large chamber that contained dozens of gigantic robots in different sealed containers.
Grinning in excitement, Butterfly looked at Bloom. "I guess when in doubt, just call Momoko for help." She said, chuckling. "Who would know that banana breath would put in an easy code like that?"
"It's an oddly simple code for a secret place like this," Bright said. "Doesn't that seem weird?"
"It's not exactly that simple. It's actually the birthday of someone special to him." Bloom corrected. "Well, birthdays of multiple people."
"Who?" Both Bright and Butterfly asked.
"I think it's pretty clear who," Bloom stated. "Overlooking the fact that he seriously needs to change that keycode, who does Mojo consider to be the most precious invention to him?"
"Oh, I get it." Bright said. "Although, I didn't expect you to remember the boys' birthdays, Momoko." As Bright giggled, Bloom couldn't help but let out a smile.
"Well, it was the day that I seriously want to forget. Not to mention what they did to us was just awful."
"Yeah, those stupid idiots pulled up our skirts and completely convinced Mojo to wreck the whole city." Butterfly said, cringing at the memory. "If I could, I would've just killed those twerps on the spot."
"Don't forget that they kept picking their nose." Bright said, grimacing. "Thank goodness I don't see him doing any of that anymore, especially now that we're roommates."
"Amen to that." Butterfly replied.
"Well, we'll teach those boys all of the bad guys here a lesson: to not mess with the Powerpuff Girls Z." Laughing, Bloom gestured to the girls to follow her. "Now girls, may we begin our mission?"
Grinning, both Bright and Butterfly followed her. As they walked around the room, they were all met with hundreds and hundreds of robots. From small ones to gigantic ones, from terrifying to just plain and normal ones, Mojo had made them all possible. And each and every single one of those were sealed in a glass container with their respective names labeled on top.
"So how are we going to destroy these robots without breaking the glass?" Bright asked.
"Butterfly," Bloom called, making Butterfly look at her. "Think you can do something about these?"
Chuckling, Butterfly brought out her katana. "You insult me." And in the blink of an eye, Butterfly instantly teleported in the glass container of a robot named 0M3GA. In comparison to Butterfly's rather petite figure, the robot stood at an astounding 10 foot 1 height.
"Be sure to get its main control system that's in his chest; it will be completely dysfunctional if that part is destroyed. Try to cut the wires leading to it or just stab through it without disturbing the robot's parts too much so it won't be that noticeable." Bloom instructed.
"Will do, Captain."
"Miyako and I will be trying to break some robots ourselves while you do that," Bloom said. "Just don't forget that we need to destroy the majority of these robots. You have the most important role in this mission so don't waste any time in doing so."
"Better make this quick then." Butterfly commented, firmly gripping the sharp weapon in her hand. As she flew to the very top of the container, she began positioning her katana at the very core of the robot. She found a very small slit to insert her katana into, making it easier for her.
"Sorry buddy, nothing personal." Butterfly said as she quickly stabbed the robot's chest. As she felt some wires being cut by her katana, she quickly pulled it out and made sure that nothing seemed out of place. After thoroughly inspecting it, she teleported out and began to look for her next target.
"That's one down and a thousand more to go."
After the course of ten minutes, the girls were able to successfully disable a total of eighty-six robots. Though seemingly a very large number, there were still a lot of robots that were left untouched. And as the time passed by, the number grew bigger as they kept messing with Mojo's inventions.
"Man, I could do this in my sleep." Butterfly said as she took out her 50th robot. "How are you guys doing over there?"
"We're getting somewhere, at least," Bloom said as she began to crack another container's code. "It would be a lot easier if we all had the same power as you, Kaoru."
"You guys have some pretty cool powers yourselves." Butterfly said. "And it's better than having nothing, you know."
"You do have a point," Bright said, giggling. "It's amazing how Momoko was able to crack through almost all of these codes."
"Which reminds me, how did you turn into your superhero form anyway?" Butterfly asked.
Bloom was concentrating on the keypad in front of her, but she replied, "It's just a guess, but I think that the professor programmed it to be compatible with both of our compacts," She stated. "But then again, I was just operating on instinct a while ago so it's just a hypothesis."
"Well, we never know, maybe it'll be of help in the future." Bright said as Bloom was finally able to put in the right codes, making the glass container open. "I'll take care of this one." Holding up her hand that had a ball of electricity, Bright held the robot's chest, letting the current travel inside and short-circuiting its core.
"Yeah, and it's a good thing that our powers are back. I'm getting sick of that stupid thing that's making our powers unstable." Butterfly said as she pierced another robot.
"It's like every room has it." Bright replied.
"I know right?" Butterfly said. "It's such a huge pain in the a—"
"Shh." Bloom interrupted.
"Huh?" Butterfly asked, confused. "What's wro—"
"Shh!" Bloom interrupted once more, holding up her index finger to her lips. "I hear someone."
As everyone remained silent, the sound of footsteps could be heard from outside, along with barely audible murmurs. Looking at each other, they all stopped what they were doing; they huddled together in the middle of the room.
"Great," Butterfly said in annoyance. "Looks like we have company."
"What do we do now?" Bright asked worriedly. Looking around, Bloom saw a possible place that they could hide in. However, unlike before, they could use their powers.
"We'll hide in that corner over there," Bloom said, pointing towards an empty space that wasn't far from them. "Miyako, we'll grab onto your arms, and you have to turn invisible."
"Okay," Bright replied, nodding. "But how do we get out without being noticed?"
"We'll leave as soon as they leave, whoever they are." Bloom said.
As they went to hide in the corner, the door suddenly opened. Both Butterfly and Bloom held Bright's arm as they blended in with the bright white walls of the room.
The clicking sounds of heels grew louder as they saw multiple shadows moving around the room. "Impressive work, Mojo. I never thought that you'd be able to create so many in so little time." A deep voice said.
"Why, thank you, your Highness." Mojo replied in a delighted tone.
'Is that their boss?' Bloom thought. 'Who is he then?' She leaned forward, trying to see who the mysterious person was.
"Momoko, what are you doing?" Butterfly asked in a soft tone. "If you keep moving you might make some noise!"
"I'm just trying to see who the other person is." Bloom replied.
As both figures began to look over the robots, all three girls hoped that they wouldn't notice a thing. They were getting closer to where they were, but they couldn't see the mysterious person's face. It looked almost like a shadow having a poorly figured body structure.
The dark figure then hovered towards one of the robots that they had tampered with, surveying it from head to toe. "Stunning."
"Isn't it?" He asked, his eyes sparkled in fascination. "It took hundreds of hours to create and design such beauties. However, even in those few hours, I am happy to report that we have been able to create more and more robots, more advanced than the last. It is a pleasure to serve your needs in machinery in however way I can, Your Highness."
Butterfly snickered. "Kiss ass." She commented, earning a light nudge from Bright.
"I am flattered." The dark figure said, chuckling. "With our agents dropping as we speak, it's reassuring to have such talented people like you to create such advanced machines in our ever-growing arsenal."
"It is but a miracle that we also have recruited three young yet strong individuals for our organization."
The dark figure paused for a bit before responding, "Why, yes, these so-called Danger Rave Girls."
"Yes, from what I've seen, they might even be more powerful than those three brats."
"Indeed, however, I didn't pair up your sons with them for no reason, you must already know that."
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Only time will tell just how important those three will come into play, especially with their full potentials haven't being shown yet."
Mojo crossed his arms. "Of course, even now I don't trust those girls fully."
"It is but natural, but please see to it that they are given the proper treatment as S-ranked agents." They replied. "I fear that if we lose any more agents, things would just get more difficult for us."
"Understood, I would make sure that my sons would treat them with utmost respect and courtesy, your Highness!"
All three girls sweatdropped at his remark, 'I highly doubt they will listen to you.'
The dark figure chuckled, looking back over to the robots in the display cases. "They are indeed flawless." They said in its manly and deep voice. "With such amazing creations, it's but a sin to not give these pieces a test run soon."
Mojo lost his composure for a second, staring at the figure with great disbelief. "D-Does that m-m-mean w-we will—"
"Yes, we will." They replied. "It is not long before everything will start to fall into place. And I surely wouldn't want to push through with it without first making a big impression on our important guests first."
"But of course, Your Highness."
"What are they talking about?" Bright asked, the cryptic conversation sparking an interest in all three of them.
"How the hell should I know?" Butterfly answered.
As they kept leaning against the wall, merely listening to the conversation of the pair, Bloom couldn't help but voice her own thoughts. "Whatever it is, it has to be bad news for us."
The figure then looked around the room one more time before turning their facing Mojo. "Which reminds me, what time is it now?"
"I believe it is already ten past one."
"I must be on my way then, I surely need some rest for the rest of the day."
"My, of course," Mojo replied. "I shall escort you to your office."
"You're too kind." The figure said, chuckling. It was then that both of them began to walk away.
Bloom's ears perked up as she heard the sound of clicking heels once more. She then gripped both of her friends arms, signaling them to start moving.
As the doors shut, they quickly came out of their hiding place. With the coast clear, they made their way towards the door all the while discussing what they had just heard.
"Man, that was something," Butterfly said. "Did you guys see that dude's face?"
"I didn't." Bloom replied.
"Neither did I." Bright said. "From their conversation, I think the only good news for us is that they started to lose agents in this organization. But about the robots, that person said that Mojo was able to make those robots in just a short amount of time."
"Yeah, that's going to be a big problem." Butterfly stated.
"And there was also something they mentioned, that supposed test run. If they really do use these robots, especially the ones we just messed with, we might get caught."
"You're right," Bloom said, holding her hand up to her chin. "I'll see to it that before he uses those robots, we can efficiently cover up our tracks so that we won't be questioned. However, another problem we face now is that whether or not they use the robots that were tampered with, I have a bad feeling that they're preparing something for Tokyo."
"In other words, we're fucked." Butterfly said, facepalming. "What do we do if that happens then?"
"We'll discuss it later. For now, we need to get out of here and get some rest. We'll try to find out what they're planning as soon as possible so we can plan accordingly."
Approaching the keypad, they then input the same numbers as before. As the doors opened, they gave their surroundings one last look before heading towards the exit. As expected, both Mojo and the boss had already left.
Scouting for a switch or panel that could open the trap door, Butterfly was able to spot a well-hidden button at one of the corners. As she pressed it the floor opened once more, and the girls wasted no time in flying out of there.
As soon as they reached the room, they all began to let out tired yawns and sighs.
"Another tiring night for all of us." Bloom commented, giggling, "Let's all go and get some rest."
"Yeah, maybe now I can rest easy with Butch's speakers actually turned off for once." Butterfly said, grabbing Bright's arm as they made it outside. Looking over her shoulder, Butterfly offered her other hand to Bloom. "Better get you back as soon as possible so that your roommate won't be mad at you for leaving your room."
Bloom chuckled, "Yeah, hopefully I can get some rest without an interrogation from him in the middle of the night."
As both of her friends chuckled at her remark, they quickly teleported out of the room.
Hours have already passed. At the stroke of noon, a soft beep was heard from Boomer's desk. As he took another bite of his lunch, Boomer briefly went to his workspace. Seeing as his watch was lighting up, he grabbed it, raising his eyebrow as the words Mission Acquired were written in bold letters on the screen.
'Another assigned mission?' He thought, pressing a button to reveal its details. 'And it's with them again. I wonder what this is about?'
Seeing as there were no other further details about their mission, besides the agents involved and the time they were needed, Boomer just decided to fetch Bright. He began finishing his food and preparing everything he needed.
After a few minutes, he wore his watch. It then started to beep again almost instantly. From the looks of it, it was Brick impatiently calling him yet again.
He began to make his way to her room so as to not agitate his brother even more. As Boomer rejected his call one more time, he knocked three times on her door, waiting for a response.
"Hey, Bright," Boomer called out. "It's me, we just got another mission and they need us there now."
Receiving no reaction from her and his M.D.P. beeping continuously, Boomer knocked once more. "Bright?"
Yet again, he didn't get any form of response. 'Is there something wrong with her?' He thought. 'She didn't order breakfast nor lunch today. I wonder if she's okay?'
Fishing out the spare key from his pocket, he began unlocking her door. As he opened it, he was taken aback as there was no one in the room. The bed was neat, almost like it was untouched. Everything in the room seemed to be in order, but he was still confused as to where Bright was.
Just then, he heard something coming from the bathroom. The sweet melody of somebody humming along with the sound of water falling made Boomer's ears perk up. As he walked in closer, the sound of Bright's voice became more audible.
She was singing.
'Bright...?' He was captivated by her voice at first, astonished by the sweet tune. However, he was immediately made aware of their task for today.
"Uhm, Bright?" Boomer called out, making sure his voice was loud enough for her to hear.
As the sound of her voice suddenly died down, so did the sound of dripping water. "Boomer?"
"Yeah, it's me." Boomer replied. "We've got a new mission assigned to us just in case you don't know. I've come to pick you up."
"Oh, of course. I'll be there in a minute." As he heard scuffling from the bathroom, he took this as his cue to leave her room.
After a few minutes, Bright was finally done dressing up as she went to Boomer's room. He looked at her, smiling. She returned the gesture as she made her way towards the main door. She was already getting used to Boomer's unusual kindness. Considering that he was, well, is her enemy, they have actually been starting to warm up to each other.
"You have no idea how much my brother has been bugging me for the past five minutes." Boomer said, making Bright laugh.
"Better not make him wait any longer then."
With that, they both exited the room and made their way towards the elevator. As they went down to the Acceptance Room and made it to their assigned space, they were immediately scolded for being late by an angry red-head.
"Where the hell have you guys been?" Brick asked. "You guys were the only ones we were waiting for. If it were possible, we would have just left you guys."
"Sorry dude," Boomer said. "Just got caught up with something."
"Like what?" Brick asked, crossing his arms over his chest.
As Brick waited for a response, both Boomer and Bright looked at each other for a brief moment. Sighing, Bloom got up from her seat. "Just tell him, he has been cranky since this morning."
Hearing her remark made Brick glare at his roommate. Bloom just rolled her eyes in response as she stood next to Butterfly.
"It's not his fault," Bright said, defending him. "I woke up late and I took too long in the shower. I lost track of the time and I didn't know that this mission was urgent. Don't blame him."
Boomer snapped his head to look at her, a bit shocked that she willingly took the blame. To be fair, he wasn't that quick in getting all his stuff ready and fetching her. With her remark, he couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed.
As Brick intensified his glare, he let out a frustrated sigh. "Just make sure you guys will be early whenever we get a mission." Brick scolded, making both of them nod.
As Bright made her way towards her friends, Butch immediately went beside Boomer. "So what are we up against?" He asked.
"Well, we have been assigned to do some dirty work in Tokyo today." Brick explained, smirking.
"What do you mean by dirty work?" Bloom asked.
"We would have to cause havoc as we try to lure three little ladies into showing themselves. And I guess we all know who those three are."
As Boomer and Butch looked at each other, they both chuckled mischievously. "Oh, we know." They both replied.
"Uhm, who are they exactly?" Bright asked, a bit worried. "We're kind of new, you know."
"Are you dense?" Brick asked, baffled. "It's none other than those stupid Powerpuff Girls, of course!"
As the brothers chuckled, the three girls looked at each other in shock. They were all stunned at what they had to do. Yes they were expecting something, but they absolutely didn't expect anything like this, nor were they expecting it to happen so soon.
"Say what now?" Butterfly asked, trying to suppress the nervousness in her words. "You're kidding me, right?"
"Who would even consider this as a joke? This is fucking awesome man!" Butch exclaimed, clenching his fist in excitement.
"Yeah, we haven't seen them in a while," Boomer said. "It'd be great to see those old hags again. Let's just hope that they put up a good fight."
"I wouldn't have it any other way." Brick replied, snickering. "And we're the ones who get to put those hags in their place."
"So what's the plan, Red?" Butch asked.
"We're going to ha—"
"Ahem," Bloom interrupted, clearing her throat loud enough for everyone to hear. "About this Powerpuff thing, I don't think we're ready to actually see them. Why don't you guys just do it on your own? I bet that you guys have been itching to fight them."
"Yeah, those old hags might have been missing you." Butterfly said, trying to sound calm as she tried to control herself from beating them up on the spot. "Who knows what could happen when they see you? I sure do hope they don't kick your ass on the way there."
"What are you guys talking about?" Brick asked, a bit confused. "I thought you guys wanted to get revenge on them for capturing your dad?"
"Our what?" Bright asked as she didn't get what they were talking about.
"Your creator?"
"Yeah, Bright, don't you remember Dad?" Bloom asked as she signaled her to just play along. "Professor Jones?"
"Oh, right!" Bright said. "They got our dad arrested. Now I remember."
"Uh, yeah." Brick said, raising his eyebrow in confusion. "Now, back to the mission, you guys can't bail out. You guys need to come with us. If you back out, you'll get punished by the boss."
"Well, yeah, you might get punished," Butch said, smirking. "But if you want to get punished by someone else, I'll be happy to teach all of you naughty girls a le—" Butch was suddenly cut off as Boomer slapped him hard on the back of his head.
"What the hell man?!" Butch exclaimed as he glared at his blue-eyed brother.
"You're pathetic." Boomer replied.
"You're dumb!" Butch grumbled.
"And you're both morons so shut the hell up!" Their eldest brother reprimanded, making both of them glare at each other
As Brick pinched the bridge of his nose, he let out a frustrated sigh. "Look, you guys have to come with us on this mission. If you don't, there's no guarantee that you guys will be coming out alive after your punishment with the boss."
As they exchanged looks with one another, the girls were completely lost. They were supposed to discuss this once they knew what was going to happen to Tokyo. But with such little time, they had no clue on how they could pull off this mission.
"Uhm, do you mind giving us five minutes?" Bloom asked. "My sisters and I would like to have a little chat for a while. Just to give a pep talk and keep the nerves down, you must understand."
Brick looked at Bloom for a while. He hesitated at first, but eventually gave in. "Fine, come back here immediately after."
"We will." Bloom said as she began to drag her friends out. As they quickly flew out of the room, they immediately went inside the first girls' restroom. Making sure no one was inside, they instantly locked the door and began to panic.
"What are we going to do?" Bright asked frantically. "We can't just let them trash the city just for us to appear as superheroes. Even if we did, they're going to suspect that something's wrong once we're gone. And if that happens, we're going to ge—"
"Miyako, calm down!" Butterfly exclaimed as she grabbed her friend's arms, trying to get her to calm down. "We'll think of a plan. Right, Momoko?"
"Yeah," Bloom replied. "A plan, right." She said as she began to pace back and forth. She began to rub her temples furiously as she tried to think of something.
She repeatedly slapped herself on the head, all the while pacing even faster. "A plan, a plan, a plan!"
"You don't have one, do you?" Butterfly deadpanned as she raised her eyebrow at her friend.
"I'm thinking, I'm thinking!" Bloom said as she was already drowning with stress. She continuously poked her forehead as she was practically walking in circles, just trying to come up with something. She knows that if their identity would be exposed to anyone, not only them, but the whole city would be doomed.
"Well, better think fast because I'm pretty sure that those guys are going to assume that something is going on." Butterfly said. "And unless we can be two completely different people at the same time, then there's no way that we're going to pull this off."
'Two people at the same time...' She replayed Butterfly's words in her head; there was a spark in that phrase that made her head go haywire. 'Two people...'
As she looked down, she snapped her eyes open as she realized the solution to their problem. "Two people at the same time! That's it!"
"What do you mean?"
"I know how we can be both a villain and a superhero." Bloom exclaimed, her excitement overflowing as she began to come up with a plan.
"How?" Bright asked.
"With these." She said, fishing out the pink compact that she had hidden in her vest pocket. "It worked last time when we were down in that secret room. And if we're able to just time this thing right, it won't be us that will be lured and trapped, it will be them."
"Now we're talking," Butterfly said as she clenched her fist in excitement. "So what's the plan?"
"Here's what we'll do..."
"Where have you guys been?" Brick asked, making Bloom roll her eyes.
"Seriously, Brick, how many times have you said that?"
"Way more than I should." Brick said as he eyed the three girls that had just entered the room. "So, your pep talk is done?"
As Bloom looked at her friends, they couldn't help but smirk in reply. "You could say that," Bloom said. "And we've decided to finally face the infamous Powerpuff Girls. We can't wait to meet them, actually."
"Good," Brick replied. "Now, we're just going to need to cause a little ruckus in Tokyo today, nothing too serious. After we do that and those old hags finally make their appearance, we need to try and injure them as much as possible. "
"And why exactly?"
"Your Highness is planning on doing a test run of something afterwards and he doesn't want them to interrupt." Brick explained. "After that, we could go and rob a few banks then bail."
"Sounds like a plan," Butch said as he began cracking his knuckles.
'Would be a shame if someone would rain on their parade though.' Bloom thought, making her smirk at her allies.
"So, enough talk, let's move out!"
And with that, all of them flew out of the building. And boy will they be in a very unexpected reunion.
After a total of ten minutes, the team had exited the forest and they all began to head to Tokyo city. They flew towards the very center of the city, just above some very heavy traffic. They were surrounded by numerous buildings that stood tall; a very nostalgic memory for the boys.
As Brick licked his teeth in anticipation, he looked towards his teammates. "I guess there's nothing else that needs to be said. It's about time we trash this place."
And with that, all three of the boys began to warm up, a great force of energy surging through their bodies. The girls looked at each other, and with one final signal from Bloom, they all began to start their own mission.
"We'll leave you guys to cause noise around here." Bloom said. "Bright and I are going to go to one of the buildings to catch those three by surprise. It's a better strategy to corner them, they'll be at a disadvantage in no time."
"Why me?" Bright asked, masking disbelief in her voice. "I want to stay here and have some fun. Waiting in the shadows sounds so boring."
"Well, unluckily for you, I'm the eldest," Bloom then grabbed Bright's ear, tugging on it harshly. "Now, let's go. Butterfly, do what you have to do."
"I don't need you to tell me that." Butterfly said, giving Bloom a quick wink before both of them disappeared from sight.
As they flew to some place that kept them out of sight, both girls landed on the ground. Once they were on land, Bright looked at Bloom while holding her ear in pain.
"That actually hurt, Momoko," Bright said, pouting. "I thought we were pretending."
"I know, it seems that I went a bit overboard, sorry for that," Bloom replied as she dug out her old pink compact. "But now, it's time for some real fun."
The chaos began as the boys and Butterfly began to flip over cars and smash building windows for a couple of minutes, hoping that their target would make their appearance. However, unknown to the boys, Butterfly began to help civilians evacuate as they wrecked the city mercilessly.
'Where the hell are they?' Butterfly thought as she flipped another empty car. 'They better hurry since more people are getting injured.'
"Where are you, old hags?!" Butch taunted as he smashed another building with a car he had just picked up, making hundreds of people scream and panic. "You better show up before this city is a total mess!"
As time went on, hundreds of civilians began to flee, screaming. Many buildings were on the verge of collapsing due to immense wreckage caused by the three brothers. And as Butterfly severely tried to prevent numerous casualties, the Ruffs didn't stop.
And as they began to get impatient, they got more violent. "We don't like waiting very much," Brick said as he grabbed a civilian by the collar of his shirt. "So better come out before I basically rip this guy's head off."
"No, please! Don't!" The man cried as he tried to free himself from Brick's grasp.
Butterfly began to lose her patience as she saw what Brick was doing. She began to slightly panic, her hands were beginning to sweat as she tried to keep her distance from the boys.
"Well then, come on out!" Boomer shouted. "Where the fuck are you old hags?!"
"Right here!" A sudden voice said, making all four of them look up at the sky. There stood the two members of the infamous Powerpuff Girls Z: Blossom and Bubbles. They floated downwards, coming face-to-face with the Rowdyruff's leader. He, in return, smirked in excitement.
"Didn't think you old hags would show up." Brick said, tightening his grip on the man's collar. "But if I remembered correctly, there were three of you."
"It doesn't matter how many we are, we're still going to take you down." Blossom said as she glared at her counterpart.
"Where's the fun in that then?" Butch asked, snickering. "It seems unfair for me to not have a partner. Where is that green hag?"
Butterfly secretly glared at Butch's statement, making her clench her fists in anger. 'You'll be meeting her soon, you dick.'
"How unfortunate. Since you guys aren't really complete, I guess I'd just have to do as I promised." He then gripped the man's throat as his eyes burned with anticipation.
"No! Please, help me!"
"Spinning Yo-yo!" Blossom then threw her yo-yo at Brick, throwing him off as he went back a couple of hundred feet until he was met with the stone cold wall of a building. He groaned in pain, bringing his hand up to lightly rub the sore spot on his back.
"Bubble catcher!" Bubbles said as she made a huge bubble that caught the man before he could fall. "Are you okay sir?"
"Yes, thank you so much!" Bubbles then gently assisted the man as he evacuated the premises. And as both girls stood in front of the remaining two brothers, they got into position, waiting for their next move.
"Looks like you hags are still playing with those little toys of yours." Butch teased. "How fucking old are you anyway?"
"What difference does it make? You guys are still going down!" Blossom said as she prepared to throw her yo-yo.
"You!" A sudden voice called out. Brick got up from the pile of rubble that he was thrown in, and began to fly towards Blossom, extending his arms out as he aimed for Blossom's neck. However, he halted as he saw a raven-haired girl throw a punch at Blossom, making the pink-eyed heroine stumble as she tried to regain her composure.
"Who are you?!" Blossom asked as she placed her hand on her cheek. All boys were shocked as Butterfly suddenly made her move out of the blue. Butterfly hovered above Blossom, lowering her head to get a better look at her.
Butterfly chuckled sinisterly, merely glaring at the girls' leader. Without giving Blossom much time to even breathe, she dove in. Grabbing Blossom from her vest, they began to fly further away from the team.
"Blossom!" Bubbles shouted.
As Bubbles attempted to fly to her friend, she was suddenly taken aback as a piece of the hard ground flew at her. Fortunately, she was able to dodge it in just the nick of time. She looked back at the boys who all looked at her sinisterly.
"You're not going anywhere, blondie." Brick said, making his brothers chuckle. "Better stay and have some fun with us."
"If I could recall, you guys said that it doesn't matter how many you guys were since you could still kick our ass." Butch said, mockingly holding his chin in a thinking-like manner.
"Why don't you put your money where your mouth is then, hag." Boomer taunted as he and his brothers began to get into position. Bubbles hesitated for a second, looking at her counterpart a bit sadly.
'It looks like I was wrong about you.' Bubbles thought as she held her bubble staff. 'I guess you really haven't changed at all.'
"Then I will," Bubbles replied, trying to mask bravery in her voice. "It doesn't matter if there were a thousand of you, I could still defeat you on my own!"
"Sure you can." Boomer said, laughing maniacally and mockingly. "I bet you're just stalling so that your friends could come and save you."
Bubbles gritted her teeth and began to shake in anger as she glared at him. "I don't need to wait, come at me then!"
"Well, since you said it, allow me. I'm fucking tired of waiting!" Butch then lunged at the blue-eyed girl who stood there a bit terrified. She firmly held her wand as she desperately tried to defend herself.
"Bubble Popper!" She commanded as thousands of bubbles headed towards Butch.
Butch, in return, smirked as he held his hands in front of his face. "Earth bullets!"
It was then that multiple needle-like pieces from the ground beneath them began flying right at her. It popped every single bubble that she made. She began to make more, but Butch didn't hold back as he quickly popped every single one. And as the last bubble burst, a big needle found its way through Bubbles' shoulder, grazing the skin as blood began to flow.
"Aah!" Bubbles shrieked as she held her shoulder in pain. She stumbled as she landed on top of a roof. As she tried to stop the blood, a sudden thud was heard, startling her.
She looked at the green-eyed man in front of her in fright. She then began to keep her distance as his two brothers appeared beside him.
"It's not fair if you get all of the fun, brother." Boomer said as he held his palm out to Bubbles. "It's good to share."
And then, Bubbles was trapped in a giant ball of water, making her drop her bubble wand. She held her breath, desperately trying to escape. As she heard the muffled sound of the boys' laugh, she could slowly feel herself beginning to black out.
"Say good night, Blondie." Brick said as he his brother began to torture Bubbles more.
"Get away from her!" All the boys then looked up as a raven-haired girl swung her hammer at them. And with that force, all three boys were knocked back, making them hit the building on the other side.
Bubbles was then released from Boomer's gruesome torment, making her gasp for air. "Bubbles!" Buttercup exclaimed as she went to her friend to help her.
As the newly-arrived heroine held her hand out for Bubbles to grab, the blue-eyed girl looked around as she tried to find a certain red-haired girl. "It's okay I'm fine, where's Blossom?"
"She'll be back. She mentioned something about a dramatic entrance." She said, making Bubbles giggle.
As she stood up, she hissed in pain as the wound on her shoulder didn't seem to fade. Buttercup looked at her in worry, grabbing her arm as she tried to get a better look at the wound. "What happened to you?"
"It's nothing," Bubbles replied as she removed Buttercup's hand, giving her a soft smile. "It'll heal eventually."
"Well then, be prepared. We're going to have to kick these guys' butts."
Giggling, Bubbles looked at her friend. "Yeah, I guess we have."
As the boys groaned in pain, they all began to stand up slowly. Boomer rubbed the back of his head, trying to let the pain subside. "Man, didn't expect that chick to show up."
"Yeah, but where are the girls anyway?" Butch asked, confused. "They've been gone for ages!"
"Probably ditched. I bet they were never cut off for this kind of work anyway. What a bunch of pussies." Brick said as he helped his brothers stand up.
"I beg to differ." A sudden feminine voice said, making the three brothers look behind them. There stood Bloom, her arms crossed over her chest as she smirked. "Now, would you boys mind helping me deal with those pretty little ladies over there?"
"Why should we take orders from you?" Boomer asked.
"Well, if you don't want to find out the surprise that my sister and I had set up while you guys were over here just playing around, then suit yourself." Bloom replied, making Brick raise his eyebrow in confusion.
"Where is your sister?"
"She'll be here in a few minutes. As for Butterfly, I saw her and some pink-eyed girl fighting at the edge of town."
"And what exactly are you up to?" Brick asked. "You girls should be aware by now that I give the orders here."
"Well, Brick, I think you should know by now that I don't take orders from anyone." Bloom spat, grabbing Brick's jacket as she pulled him closer to her. "And no one knows that better than you." She whispered in Brick's ear, making him glare at her.
"What do you insist we do then?" He challenged, crossing his arms at her as she let go of him
"Here's the plan."
As Buttercup saw Blossom turn into her villain persona, she waited as she conversed with the boys. She gripped her hammer as she began to recall what she needed to do.
"Ow!" Blossom exclaimed as both her and Butterfly flew far away from the rest. "Kaoru, you didn't have to punch that hard you know! And I'm pretty sure we've flown far enough."
Blossom then removed herself from Butterfly's grip, making the green-eyed girl scratch the back of her head. "Yeah, sorry about that."
Sighing, Blossom looked at her friend. "Look, we don't have much time. We both need to change and help Miyako, I'm pretty sure that they're going to hurt her."
"Well, back in the bathroom we've only gone as far as discussing what we have to do to distract them for a short amount of time, but what do we actually do now?"
"First, I'm going to try and persuade the guys to fight with me. I'm going to also try and cover for both you and Bright while I'm at it. After that, we're going to start the second phase of our plan."
"That's pretty easy." Butterfly replied. "What are we supposed to do then?"
"We are going to team up against you." Blossom replied, making Butterfly look at her in shock.
"What?!" She exclaimed. "The four of you against me?! Look, I get that you expect me to be the tough one but have you seen those guys? They're strong! And since our old powers are pretty outdated, I doubt that I'll actually be surviving if you're going to do that!"
"It's fine," Blossom said. "You'll be with Miyako."
"It's still two against four!"
"Don't worry, I'm going to make sure that they won't get to you guys." Blossom replied. "I have a plan, remember?"
"Yeah, a plan that you came up with about thirty minutes ago!"
"Believe me, I've got this under control."
"Then would you please elaborate further?"
"Well, remember the illustrative hologram device that the Professor made?" Blossom asked while Butterfly nodded in response.
"I was the one that programmed that. Basically, it's like a cinematograph. It scans a person's mind and it tries to mimic the image or a video of some sort through a realistic hologram. It took a long time for me to complete it and since I needed to showcase something for the science fair, I decided to copy the program onto my phone. I was worried that it wouldn't work at first but as I tested it, it worked!" Blossom explained. "Do you catch my drift?"
"Not exactly." Butterfly said. "You lost me at the cinema-shit."
Blossom facepalmed as she tried to elaborate in a simpler way. "Cinematograph." Blossom corrected. "It's a movie projector, Kaoru."
"Well, how am I supposed to know that? You could've just said it like that."
Sighing, Blossom continued her explanation. "Anyway, I've been improving it for a few months now and I was able to make it generate audio too! If I could just program it to scan an image in my brain, add some sound, and have it projected on loop, then we might be able to trick them into thinking that the Powerpuff Girls Z and the Danger Rave Girls are completely different!"
"If you're going to be able to do that." Butterfly pointed out, still a bit doubtful. "And how are we exactly going to pull this off?"
"We just need to create a diversion. I just need you girls to help me."
"Seems easy enough, but you're forgetting one thing."
"What?" Blossom asked.
"Either way, we can't win this as the Powerpuff Girls, you know?" Butterfly said. "We still need to prove our worth to them. If we mess this up and our superhero versions win, we might get kicked out of the organization."
"You've got a point." Blossom said. "However, I've already covered that."
Butterfly looked at her in confusion. "What do you mean?"
"I don't have one, but two devices that will project two different holograms." Blossom explained.
"You lost me again."
"I've set up some smoke bombs in the area. For the first part, when we're all fighting, I'll try and cause some kind of commotion. During that, I need you to hit them so that they'll land on the ground hard. The impact of that will fully trigger those smoke bombs to blow up, causing a diversion and a screen for me to change immediately after that."
"I like the sound of that." Butterfly replied in an excited tone. "If that's only the first part, what do we have to do next?"
"Well, for the second part, we might need to take our time on this one." Blossom said. "But anyway, after we do that, I'll have Miyako activate the first hologram using a switch I've placed on her belt. It will basically be us as villains on the top of some building."
"What if they go there and realize that it's all a fraud?"
"Don't worry, they'll be too busy fighting us to even get close to that building."
"Okay then, I'm starting to get it." Butterfly said, nodding her head in understanding. "What's next after that?"
"Well, after that, we'd obviously start fighting with them, but we need to spend as much time doing it."
"Can I ask why?"
"It's because we need the cops to come. The mission is just to injure us, and if there are tons of backup it's only natural that we're going to have to flee. I've also contacted the Professor a while ago, and a few of our closest colleagues will also come as backup just in case we get caught in a pinch."
Smirking, Butterfly placed her hand on her hip. "This is the first time that I've ever been interested in one of your plans before, considering the fact that you do tend to go on a ramble once you start explaining."
Hearing her comment, Blossom playfully punched Butterfly in the arm. "At least they work, you know." Blossom defended. "Anyway, while we're at each other's throats, I'm going to create another distraction to serve as a cover for us. Once that happens, I'll activate the second hologram and we'll all switch to our villain personas. After that, once the cops come, it'll all be over."
"Hopefully we can finish this as soon as possible." Butterfly said, beginning to envision the plan, "If we prolong this, we risk getting caught by either the R.I.D. or LUX."
"Trust me, I know what I'm doing."
Butterfly then looked at Blossom with a whole new drive than before. "Then let's do this."
"Let's move!" Bloom commanded as the four of them began to fly towards Buttercup and Bubbles. The two girls then got into position as they lunged at them.
"Take this!" Buttercup exclaimed as she headed for both Butch and Brick.
As she swung her hammer, both boys effortlessly dodged it. As Buttercup swung her hammer non-stop, Butch and Brick tried to land some punches simultaneously as they dodged each one of her attempts of hitting them.
"Bubble Popper!" Bubbles then made hundreds of bubbles that knocked both Boomer and Bloom a few feet back.
Grunting in frustration, Boomer duplicated himself as he dashed towards his counterpart. They also began to engage in hand-to-hand combat with Bubbles trying to block every hit that Boomer's clones threw at her. As she tried to counter his attacks, she was suddenly knocked back as the real Boomer had successfully punched her.
"Kya!" Bubbles shrieked as he hit her dead on the cheek.
"Serves you right, you little bitch!" Boomer exclaimed as he charged at her.
Reacting quickly, Bloom began to form little ice in the shape of spheres. Calculating everything, she threw the ice spheres at them. However, instead of hitting the girls, it hit the boys as they were caught off guard by Bloom's attack.
All three of them stopped what they were doing as they groaned in pain from the impact of her attack.
"What the hell, Bloom?" Brick exclaimed. "What the fuck is your problem?"
"My problem? Why don't you guys move out of the way!" Bloom shouted as she glared at them.
"Oh, so it's our fault?!" Butch asked, clenching his fist in anger.
"Of course it is!"
"Why don't you watch where you're aiming then!"
"Why don't you guys pay attention to your targets then!" Buttercup interrupted as she swung her hammer. "Megaton Dunk!"
As she hit the boys, a loud thud was heard as they landed on the ground hard. The sudden impact then triggered the smoke bombs, releasing enough smoke to cover the entire ground. Loud sounds of coughing and rustling were heard as three angry Ruffs clenched their fists in anger. "You fucking puffs!"
Panicking, Buttercup looked at Bloom. "Change, now!" Buttercup said. "We don't have much time!"
Nodding, Bloom took out her pink compact and quickly inserted it in her belt. As she quickly transformed, she ordered Bubbles to activate the machine. "Hurry, Miyako!"
As Bubbles pressed a button on her belt, a sudden holographic image flashed on the roof. It showed the DangerRave Girls being tied up with a few bruises on their face. They had duct tapes around their mouths, completely muffling their screams as they were shifting around, trying to free themselves. And though it was holographic, it appeared realistic enough to convince anyone that it was real.
Stunned, Blossom was in pure bliss as she saw the results. "It worked!" She exclaimed, clapping her hands together in delight. Both Buttercup and Bubbles were also astonished to see what their friend had created, making them feel a sense of relief.
However, their joy was short-lived as three boys made their appearance once more, looking more pissed off than before. "You hags have done it now." Brick said as he licked his teeth once more before practically charging straight at his counterpart.
"Blossom!" Both girls called out, but they were immediately separated as well; lunging at them were their respective male equivalent.
It was then that they had all gone all out. All of them threw punches at each other, swinging at one another in hopes of knocking the other person out. Blossom threw her yo-yo, but Brick was quick enough to block it using his force field. He responded by throwing a fireball at her, but she countered it by throwing it off using her yo-yo.
"Didn't know you would last this long, Puff." Brick teased as he dodged another one of Blossom's attacks. "I expected about five minutes tops."
"Was that an insult?" Blossom asked. "If it is, I consider it more of a compliment, considering that I'll be through with you in that short amount of time."
"I wouldn't count on it if I were you. You might eat your words after a while."
"We'll see."
And as both red-headed leaders lashed out at each other, a pair of green-eyed fighters didn't seem to get tired as they continuously parried each other's attacks.
Buttercup swung her hammer at her counterpart numerous times. But every attempt ended in him dodging it or countering it with his own powers, infuriating her. And surprisingly, he wasn't attacking her back, leaving her more frustrated and annoyed.
"You dick!" Buttercup exclaimed. "Fight back!"
"You know, I've missed you, sweetheart," Butch said, smirking. "It's been a long time since I've seen you up close." As he caught her hammer, he pulled her closer to him, giving her a sinister smile.
Grimacing, Buttercup forcefully took her hammer back before distancing herself from him. "I don't need your pathetic perverted attitude right now. Just fucking fight back!"
"If you say so," Butch said, finally stopping his teasing. "You better not regret asking for it. It would be a shame if the toughest out of the Powerpuffs was just full of talk."
"Oh, I'll show you, you sick bastard!"
With that, both of them began to finally get serious, fighting with all they've got. And as they caused the most ruckus out of all of them, another pair was facing each other in a more calm way. However, they held the most tension as they both seemed to be holding back.
Bubbles was holding on tightly onto her bubble wand as Boomer merely stood there smirking. He has been just throwing some light attacks at her, making her respond with her own attacks. She didn't want to fight back, she didn't really want to hurt anyone for that matter.
"You're such a coward." Boomer spat. "So weak."
Bubbles frowned, her eyes showed a bit of disappointment as she heard his words. "I thought you were the nicest out of the three."
"Who the hell told you that?" Boomer asked, completely amused. "I don't know what you're on, but you've got to be underestimating me so much as to assume that I'm soft. I'm no prince, hag, I'm just as bad as my brothers."
"I know." Bubbles replied. "I've seen it for myself."
Smirking, Boomer held his hand out as he said, "You don't even know the half of it." And with that, he lunged at her and finally, she had gotten the courage to fight back.
With her new found strength and determination, Bubbles and Boomer began to do what they had to do. They didn't hold back, nobody was. It was a clash of long-term rivals as they had met once again on the battlefield.
They all were trying to beat each other up, but a certain trio had something else in mind. As Blossom had led Brick to follow her, they both landed on the hard ground. And as soon as their feet touched the ground, they instantly went back at it again.
"Why don't you just give up already?" Blossom said as she was already getting tired. "We're obviously evenly matched!"
"Why don't you let go of our friends first? Do that, and maybe I'll reconsider." Brick replied, throwing another punch at her as she dodged it once again.
Glaring at him, Blossom responded with a kick to his face, making him stumble back a bit. "Your friends? From what I saw, you guys were practically fighting before Buttercup knocked you guys out."
"Friends, enemies, teammates, I couldn't care less about what you would label them." Brick retorted. "We need them."
"You're going to have to beg if you want me to release them, whoever they are." Blossom replied, throwing her yo-yo at him. As expected he dodged it, but that just made Blossom smirk.
"You're beginning to lose your aim with that little toy of yours." Brick teased.
'You weren't even my target to begin with.' Blossom thought, rolling her eyes at him.
As she felt that she was getting close, she braced herself as her yo-yo had hit her target. A loud blast was heard as the whole area, including the sky above, began to fill with more smoke than before.
"What the fuck?!" Brick exclaimed, coughing.
'It's a shame that someone as smart as you would get tricked by something like this.'
With the diversion that they had created, all three girls immediately kept their distance. They took their alternate compacts and quickly switched it with their current ones.
"We're getting tired of your games, Puffs!" Butch exclaimed, squinting his eyes as he saw the smoke starting to clear.
"You guys are so fucking dea—!" Brick was suddenly caught off when something, or rather, someone, began to intervene in their fight.
"Wind Blades!"
"Shock Wave!"
"Ice Wall!"
A series of sudden screams were heard as the sound of multiple collisions and explosions made the smoke fade. It made some cars near the area alarm, along with the sound of sirens coming from the distance.
And as all became clear, there stood the Danger Rave Girls, smirking. On the streets laid the Powerpuff Girls, seemingly panting as a huge crater was made below them.
"You guys?" Brick asked, confused. "When did you—"
"Save the questions for later," Bloom said, silencing him. "Right now, let's move. The cops are coming."
Nodding, all of them began to fly away, leaving the hologram of the girls playing on loop. With multiple lights colored red and blue began to illuminate the street, a familiar man wearing a lab coat along with a kid and a robotic dog stepped onto the scene.
As police began to flood the place, they started to cover up the scene, preventing anyone from seeing what had happened.
"There they are!" Ken exclaimed, pointing at the three girls in the middle of the street.
Looking around the mess that was caused by their battle, the Professor was beyond shocked. He was confused, bewildered, astonished.
He kneeled down onto the ground, reaching out to touch the girls. However, as he held out his hand, it went through them. He immediately stepped back, analyzing his hand for a while before looking back at the girls.
He thought for a while, trying to assess the situation. However, something had caught his attention. It seemed like a shining light of some sort from a fire hydrant not far from where he stood.
As he approached it, there lay a pink cell phone. It had a large but dim beam of light coming from it. Picking it up, he instantly realized who this belonged to. Some members of LUX began to come into the scene and cover up the place, and as he made sure the coast was clear, he turned the device off.
With still some of the smoke covering the scene, the hologram seamlessly vanished from sight. The Professor nodded his head towards some of the LUX members he knew, understanding that they could take it from here.
Looking at the small object in his hands, he couldn't help but smile.
"Well done, girls."
Author's Note: The girls are finally back in action. So, anyway, as you may have observed I tend to skip some days in the story. I'm going to have to skip ahead in storytelling so that we can be able to progress faster. I am going to try and focus on the main parts of the story which will be finding out who the boss is and being able to destroy the organization while they're undercover. However, I'll still be providing backgrounds and explanations on the different events that occurred during those time skips.
I've been trying to balance different character's P.O.V. and also the different pairing/ship's moments together. Romance will steadily grow between the pairings so don't forget to stay tuned!
That's enough for explanations! I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter!
Don't forget to review, favorite, and follow!
See you guys in the next chapter!
Have a great day!
