Mayor May Not be Missing
Chapter 2: Silicon Gear
(From the location of the warehouse, a robotic hand arises... and a sword powers on)
The Rowdyruff Boys continued their flight path until they actually ended up landing on top of Silico's lair. After noticing the huge green S, they knew they were in the right position and place.
"Alright. No plan, just break in." The boys prepared a group punch on the ceiling. "On my command..." Brick started; the others waited for his command. "Three... two... one..." Butch cracked his neck. "NOW!" They all punched the roof and fell through the ceiling, landing in the same room as Silico and Silicon Bubbles. Well... more like they landed on them, knocking them out and saving more time. "Not what I had in mind... but I'm kinda glad that occurred." Brick and his brothers ran off towards the nearby door and entered the room that contained the Powerpuff Girls still hanging in there. "Hey! You three! Can you hear us!?"
"The Rowdyruff Boys!?" Buttercup said. "Out of all the people to be saved by! Ugh!"
"Hey relax k!?" Butch said.
"We're not here to gloat about how we're better, we're here because the mayor wanted us to." They all huddled around the trapped heroes and attempt to tear away the coils.
"Holy cow! What are these things made of!?" Boomer asked.
"Duranium; can't break free of it, can't break it, period." Blossom informed the latter.
"Well shoot! There's gotta be something we can do..." Brick pondered for a moment before Blossom gave them a suggestion.
"Your lasers. They can melt the Duranium despite how impossible it may seem. We couldn't laser eye them because we couldn't move our heads down enough."
"Well then in that case... you may wanna hold your breath. This is gonna sting..." The boys fired their lasers at the coils, causing them to melt slightly; the girls themselves got fried but they could care less by this point. When they struggled to break free of the coils, they managed to succeed this time, given that the boys must've weakened their grip. They were happy about the boys freeing them, and gave them high fives.
"We're glad you came to our rescue; you really deserve the title of hero by this point." Blossom said.
"Yeah? Well guess what? You girls forgot you still owe us a battle; so I was thinking we could finish it here and now. Remember, no rings!"
The girls looked at their rings and placed them on the ground; Bubbles then used an ability that surrounded the rings in an impenetrable field. "Okay... now this is a fair battle!" Butch said.
The boys and girls took their positions and stood on the ground; one leg in front of the other. Each counterpart staring each other down, and they were about to fire off towards each other until an unexpected arrival intervened. "Woah!"
"What on Earth was that!?" Bubbles asked.
"Not sure... but whoever did it is gonna seriously regret that very decision they made." Buttercup said as she pounded her 'fists'.
From a faraway smoke cloud, a figure with a gear like head stood forward. Its cape flowed ominously, and a blade was visible; a metallic hand had also made its appearance, and a red glow shined through. Blossom knew this character was all too familiar since last time, but not any other person knew them by name or design. It revealed itself as: "Mad Gear!" Blossom shouted.
"Wait! You know this trainwreck?" Buttercup asked.
"All too well... He captured the mayor when we infiltrated a robot warehouse built by Mojo back then."
"Woah... he seems like a load of hot air." Brick commented.
"He's not meant to be taken lightly, he can literally transform into the DoomsDragon Mojo almost defeated us with."
"Well, we've upgraded. We can win this! All six of us! Right girls? Guys?" Bubbles asked. Everyone didn't respond verbally and instead nodded. "Well lets get this guy!"
"You all shall be taught a lesson in MADNESS!" Mad Gear yelled as he unsheathed his laser blade. He then somersaulted through the air and slashed a wave of energy in the direction of the heroes. Angrier about missing, he clicked a button on the blade and three more curved blades emerged.
"DUCK!" Blossom yelled. As the newly formed shuriken flew over the heads of everyone, each person said duck until it reached Boomer, who ended it by saying 'GOOSE!'
Mad Gear caught it and transformed it back into a blade, but before doing any other maneuvers, he decided to look around at the surroundings. "Hmm... A technology filled room... that gives me just the edge I need..." By unleashing electricity from his palms, he ripped some metal off the walls and machinery, and formed them into many robots. Silico and his robot awoke by this point and decided watching the battle was a better idea than intervening. Mad Gear's power was immense, even for a failed project; after all, it was Mojo that admitted to Blossom that day that Mad Gear was never meant to be this strong, and was merely a prototype for a much bigger threat that Mojo would've unleashed if he was still against the girls. The girls looked weary, but that's only because they literally spent five hours stuck in chains earlier. The boys however, were still in it to win it; and really stuck it to Mad Gear, who was in an even worse condition than the robots he summoned. "ARGH! That's it! I'm through toying with these brats! I'll show you my true full power!" Mad Gear's palms created electricity again, and this time the entire death machine in the wall combined with Mad Gear's body. A huge red light was being emitted, and from Mad Gear's head emerged four huge wires. The head grew to an enormous size, and a deflector shield activated.
"Oh you gotta be sh-" A laser was shot at the boys and they flew backwards into the wall.
"Woah! He's transformed! Into... a giant head?" Buttercup said, rather disappointed.
"Problem is there's a shield that'll block off all our attacks. Bubbles, find the shield with our rings in it, we'll distract this big-headed bot." Blossom and Buttercup then shot off towards Mad Gear's eye, and flew around in wavy patterns to lure his laser fire. "I gotta say Mad Gear, you've really nerfed yourself down to the bone!"
"Your insolence will not be tolerated! I shall prove to everyone that I am the epitome of robotics! And no six bugs like you shall stop me..."
"Make that four!" Bubbles threw the X-Hancing rings towards her sisters, who caught their respective colors, and put them on their right arms. They all pushed the buttons and the Dynamo fusion process began. The boys looked up in surprise when they noticed the three girls they knew became one girl that shared three different minds.
"I'm here!" Dynamo said. (Pink eyes): "And now that we're like this..." (Green eyes): "Time to show you..." (Blue eyes): "We mean business!" Dynamo prepared a bomb spike and fired it; I guess the fusion brainfried Dynamo because she forgot about the shield. "Eep!" She dodged at perfect timing, but the builidng's condition itself suddenly didn't seem so safe. "Rowdyruff Boys! We should probably leave!"
"No way! We're just getting started with this 'bolts-for-brains'!" Butch said.
Brick was quick to change Butch's mind when the building itself started shaking, and Mad Gear powered down unexpectedly. "Did you wanna become flatmeat!? Or would you rather finally get even with the girls after this!?" Butch simply nodded and flew out along with Boomer. Dynamo entered another room and noticed the two villains had flew completely.
(Green eyes): "Darn it all..." (Pink eyes): "Ignore it for now. We need to leave." Dynamo shot straight out of the ceiling and watched the building collapse with the boys. "Whew... close call. Absolutely no one would be able to survive that!" Dynamo unfused and the girls made sure no one was hiding in the wreckage to pull a fast one. They then pulled off their X-Hancing rings and faced the Ruffs.
"So?" Blossom started. "Are we gonna... you know?"
"Oh you remembered? Rather surprising..." Brick said, possibly to get her riled up.
"Are you suckas ready to get your butts whooped like old times?" Buttercup asked.
"Oh you better believe we're ready... but it ain't our butts gettin' whooped!" Butch said.
"Are you sure you're in for another beating?" Bubbles challenged.
"You'll eat those words!" Boomer said, almost recreating what he said years ago. (A/N: He said: 'You girls are gonna eat your words, spit 'em out, and eat 'em again!').
"Let's do this! Just the six of us! No interruptions! Just your usual team battle!" Blossom said.
"Agreed, it's been a while since we've done this, now we'll show you how much we've really improved by!" Brick said.
*With Silico and S.B.*
"It's very unamusing regarding the events that have unfolded..." Silico said, stroking a piece of metal to test its smoothness.
"Such an unfair advantage... there was literally six of those puffs." S.B. said, feeling resentment.
"This'll set back our plans of winning, I'll need to find another way to have those three under complete control for good!" He pounded the desk he was behind.
"I may not have any great ideas being the one who feels like I should just continue to fight the heroes regardless of better knowledge."
"Like I had told you the one day, the only mistake I made in creating you was that you were never programmed with a form of common sense. I feel like I shouldn't've made you more combat focused, but I ran out of parts and programming tools, so development was cut. I for once actually wished you were more complete than you are already."
"But I've made it this far without breaking down, have I not?" S.B. asked.
"Very true. But not a single one of us have managed to defeat those three... if I fail one more time... I fear I may lose it completely this time. And not because of a hotwired invention of mine this time..."
"If I ever get my chance... I swear I will get those three sent to the eternal resting spot they so deserve to be in..."
"Well I believe it's time to possibly put this revenge plot to a pause for the time being... we can continue this plan tomorrow if you oh so desire..." Silico told her; but she was powered down already. "I see she has agreed."
*Back with the metahumans*
"*Heavy panting* I'm not... down yet... I still got some fight left Brick..." Blossom said.
"*Heavy panting* Yeah? Well... hope you can handle... whew... this!" Brick squared up and charged an energy shot, to his surprise, Blossom parried it back and shot it back to him. He was still too tired to do much of anything, so he instead took the shot like a champ, and fell over in defeat once it connected. "Can't take it... feel like... limit reached... urgh..."
"I did it... yay~..." Blossom too, also fainted. *Top down view of the battlefield, the girls get back up like nothing happened* "Alright girls you can stop pretending now." Bubbles and Buttercup got back up and put their X-Hancing rings back on. "They fought amazingly well if the only ones left were me and Brick. I honestly can't wait for the next one."
"Same. Maybe they'll have improved." Buttercup hoped.
"But in reality... who's to say..?" Bubbles said.
"Have you been watching those videos again Bubbles? I feel like you're learning a little too much from them."
"Does it matter if they're just that interesting? Why don't we just fly back home, and finally catch some sleep? Besides it's 9:00 right now, the Professor's probably a little too curious about us right now." Her sisters nodded and they flew back home with Blossom, where they spent no amount of time immediately falling asleep.
Boy these things seem to be very tiring after an hour or two eh? I wonder what the author is thinking 'write' now haha! So once again, the day... is saved! Thanks to... the Powerpuff Girls! Oh right, and the Rowdyruff Boys too. Sorry! (The End)
