Tick, tock...I finally got frustrated listening to the clock and sat up quickly. The clock showed almost four in the morning. Scooter sat up as well as he could, the poor dog, and whimpered.
"I'm worried too Scooter...he's been gone for hours now, We should go out and look for him," Scooter barked. I got dressed as fast as I could and scooped my loyal friend up into my arms before blasting off into the night sky. It was a pretty chilly night, cold enough that I could see my breath. I looked back at Scooter and smiled a bit, seeing his coming in fast pants.
"Where would he go...I could just wait til I see a streak or something," I heard a whirring noise in the distance and spun around. It wasn't too bright, probably wouldn't get anyone's attention if they weren't looking for it. The Powerpuff Girls definitely wouldn't get in the way, it was pretty far out of town.
"Well, guess that's where he is, huh boy?" Scooter barked and I flew off fast, heading for the light coming from the cliff hanging over the ocean. I froze when I saw what was taking place. Brick was standing in a beam of green and black light. The light was coming from a scary looking machine. And a scarier looking...thing was leaning against the machine and laughing. I turned back to Brick and saw that his mouth was hanging open wide, trying to scream..
"Oh shit! Don't worry bro, help is on the way!" I dropped down to the ground and set Scooter down. I quickly pet him and forced him to lay down.
"Please stay here Scoots! I'll handle this!" Scooter whimpered, but stayed where he was. I nodded and flew off at full speed, stopping just inches from Brick. His body was twitching, he was trying to curl up, or run or do anything to get away from the light, but it kept him from moving. Biting my lip, and feeling as stupid as he always told me I was, I grabbed Brick's wrist and pulled him away from the beam of light. He let out a loud yell and fell against me. I quickly wrapped an arm around his shoulders to hold him up.
"Brick! Bro, are you okay? Man this is why you should have told me about this!" Brick, panting and moaning, looked up at me.
"Boomer? You shouldn't be here...but thanks..." He smirked and nodded. I grinned back. Brick then turned to face the thing. It was completely ignoring us. It took a long glowing tube out of the machine, a tube filled with black liquid that was glowing green.
"Just enough...all I need to be alive again...you're gonna die girls, you are going. To. Die!" The monster threw his head back and began to drink the liquid. Brick clutched my shoulder tightly and snarled, pulling on me to stand up straight.
"Dick, I'm gonna kill you!" I looked at Brick, then looked back at the monster. My eyes got bigger when he began to change.
