Chapter 6: Sneaking into the Dreadnought
This was it. This the fight of to save all of Earth. We, along with our new friends from the planet Avalice, were going to defeat Lord Brevon and save the Earth.
General Gong and his army stood before Lord Brevon's ship Dreadnought mk II and he called out, "BREVON! WE ARE HERE! FACE US OR BE DESTROYED!"
We heard a deep, growly voice from the ship before us, "My soldiers! Take care of these pathetic fools!" and with that, soldiers that resemble canisters of green ooze with limbs came out of the ship and charged at the Avalcian Army!
"Guys, go! Now's your chance!" Commander Torque told me, Jackson and Avalice's protectors.
"You heard the commander! Let's get a move on!" said Buttercup.
"Here goes nothing," I said to myself. Very quickly and very swiftly, we maneuvered around the fight between the two armies. It wasn't long before we made it to the back of the Dreadnought. Blossom and Bubbles cut a hole with their laser vision and Buttercup busted it open.
"Not bad," smiled Lilac.
"Call me impressed," said Spade. We all entered through the hole before we knew it, we were sneaking around corners in the ship. However, I think Jackson was phoning it in, pretending to be James Bond with a gun in his hand. Buttercup and I rolled our eyes at the sight of Jackson trying too much to be a spy.
"Jackson, tone down the spy stuff," I told my brother quietly.
"Sorry," Jackson whispered. We continued to sneak around the ship, and when ever someone was in our way, Carol would give a nice bop on the head and hide the unconscious body.
"Not bad, Carol," Blossom told the green wildcat.
"You're like a ninja," added Buttercup.
"Eh, I dabble," said Carol.
"I dabble, too," said Buttercup.
Later, as we were sneaking around corners, Milla sniffed about the area and found a small air vent above us. "This way," she said quietly. Buttercup and I pulled the lid off the air vent and everyone climbed up and started crawling with Milla leading the way.
"It's crowded in here!" complained Bubbles.
"Get your butt out of my face, Carol!" ordered Buttercup
"I can't see!" cried Carol.
"Shhh!" Blossom, Lilac and I shushed.
"They'll hear you," said Lilac, "Use that nose, Milla." The air vent inside was dark and crowded. I hit my head a couple of times and while it did hurt, I made sure to keep my mouth shut and I didn't complain once.
Jackson was still trying too much at being a spy; he tried to hum a jazzy spy theme but everyone shushed him. "Jackson!" they ordered my brother.
"Sorry!" Jackson whispered. He was almost embarrassed and made a fool out of himself. Presently, we could hear faint voices from other sides of the air vent. When we reached one part of the vent, we saw that the vent lead to other paths.
Milla tried her best to find out where the voices were coming from. "This way," she said quietly. Everyone followed in her direction, down the right path. I listened and I found we were getting closer and closer to the voices.
Finally, the indistinct voices began to sound clear. "I have found the key ingredient, my lord," a familiar voice said. Everyone crawled closer to the voice. I peeked and saw that the voice came from none other than General Serpentine, the best soldier in Lord Brevon's army.
"Well done, General Serpentine," another voice purred, "This is the ingredient I need to grow and mutate my army."
"I know that voice too well," said Lilac.
"You know that voice?" questioned Blossom, "Could that voice be-"
"It is," replied Lilac, "Lord Brevon." I looked in front of Milla and saw a large being with green skin almost like Torque, but had hellish red eyes big, big eyebrows wore armor from his feet to his neck and a big gold cape. I knew from the looks of him, that this person is Lord Brevon.
"Did he just say that they found the key ingredient?" I gasped worringly.
"I see it, too," squeaked Milla, "It looks like a bottle with black liquid inside."
"Black liquid?!" the Powerpuff Girls exclaimed. They looked in over Milla's shoulders and gasped in horror.
"That's Chemical X!" Blossom cried.
"Shh!" everyone shushed the leader of the Powerpuff Girls.
"This is bad!" Blossom panted, "We're doomed! This is the end of the world!"
"No it's not!" I told Blossom, "We just need to come up with a plan to steal back that bottle of Chemical X without being seen."
"I think I know how!" said Buttercup as she raised her hand.
"You, Buttercup?" questioned Lilac.
"What can you do?" asked Carol.
Buttercup began to demonstrate one of the girls abilities. "Watch this," she smirked, "Itsy Bitsy!" and she shrunk down to the size of a gnat!
"Whoa!" gasped Milla.
"Nice," said Lilac.
"Ooh! Ooh!" said Carol excitedly, "Let me help, too! You seen me go ninja on those guys earlier, right?"
We could all hear Brevon, "Guard this Chemical X well, my soldier. I'm entrusting the key ingredient to you, General Serpentine."
"Fear not, my lord," Serpentine hissed, "the ingredient shall remain as you leave it."
"Alright," I said, "it's settled. If nobody but Serpentine are guarding the bottle, take out Serpentine, Carol."
"Got it," said Carol.
"Buttercup, once he's knocked out, you get in there and snatch the bottle."
"Understood," Buttercup said faintly.
"I'll handle the Chemical X myself," hissed Serpentine to the other guards, "Dismissed!"
Milla and I looked and saw that no one but Serpentine was guarding the bottle. "Serpentine's alone," Milla squeaked.
"Okay, Carol," I told the green wildcat, "that's your cue, let's boogie."
"Time for Carol the Wildcat to shine!" Carol announced. She moved to the front of the group almost hurting some heads.
"Oof!" exclaimed Bubbles, "Watch the arm."
"Ouch!" yelped Jackson, "Careful, Carol."
"Sorry," whispered Carol. Finally she made it in front of Milla. She pushed the lid to the end of the air vent from the opening and gave it to me. Very quickly and very swiftly, Carol hit Serpentine on the head and Brevon's best soldier fell flat on his face.
"Oooohh," Serpentine moaned unconsciously as Carol dragged him where he can't be seen. She turned to te air vent and gave the team a hand signal meaning "all clear."
"Okay," I whispered, "you're on, Buttercup." Buttercup gave a nod and flew down to where the bottle of Chemical X. After she did, she was barley even seen because she was so tiny. The only thing we could see moving was a floating bottle of Chemical X. At first, I thought I was hallucinating but I almost forgot about Buttercup's shrinking ability. The rest of the team jumped from the air vent and Buttercup reverted to her normal size.
"Not bad, huh?" Buttercup smirked.
"That was perfect," said Blossom to her sister, "Nice use of that ability, Buttercup."
"You weren't bad, either, Carol," Buttercup said to the green wildcat.
"Hey, I'm just doing my job," smiled Carol.
"Now that this is in our hands," I said, "Now's the time to look for Brevon."
"He's right," said Blossom, "We need to find Lord Brevon, defeat him, and get to Torque before he takes over the world."
"You know," said Lilac, "if we don't make it out, I wanna say, this whole journey is probably the best I've ever been on."
"Mine, too," added Carol.
"It's been an honor working with you all," said Spade.
"Then let's take this alien creep down!" exclaimed Buttercup and the whole team began to journey deeper into the Dreadnought mk II and the search for Lord Brevon has begun!
