Chapter 9 Making Sacrifices
Blossom bashed another zombie away from her, suddenly a hunter leapt on her and tried to drive its claws into her face. She suddenly saw a combat knife pierce the hunter's torso, it shrieked and it died. Blossom looked up to see her rescuer, expecting to see Leon, but instead saw Brick. He and his brothers had proved to be useful in their mission, they had a holographic map of the facility and now they were on the right track. Leon had contacted Chris and organized a meeting point for both their teams. It seems that Bell, Samantha, and Princess were here as well, they had been sent by the Darkstar council. Boomer had patched them up after they had lost the zombies, it seemed he had had first aid training when he had been resurrected, Boomer got so good he was elected to be team medic. Leon had been impressed by Boomer's medic skills; he had never seen such skill from a kid Boomers age. Brick shot towards another zombie so fast it was as if he hadn't moved at all, just teleported, also he could now fling fire balls through the air. She dreaded the day she had to fight him, Blossom had tried a few times to find out what had happened to him that increased his powers so much and had changed his eyes to their current state. But whenever she asked him he always changed the subject, as if he didn't want to talk about it. "Yo pinky, are you coming? We've only got 2 and a half hours left." Bricks voice cut into her thoughts. Blossom looked and saw they had defeated the zombies and they were moving on. She ran after her friends… well her friends and their 3 temporary allies.
Bubbles was feeling a little weirded out, so far this day she had fought against zombies, and mutants and she and her sisters had teamed up with six of their worst enemies. Bubbles couldn't believe Blossom was working with the Rowdyruff boys, and that they were alive. But she had just allied with a group of aliens trying to take over the world, so she couldn't talk. They had almost reached the place where Chris said they would meet Leon and his team. After the tyrant, there hadn't been much event, a few mutants and zombies. The blue puff wished she could just crawl into bed with Octy and her thumb in her mouth, but she had a duty as a super hero to never run. Suddenly she heard Leon call out "Guys? Is that you?" "Leon? Thank god you're all right." Chris called out. Leon and his team emerged from the shadows, and there they where, walking right behind Blossom. Bubbles thought she would never see them again. The Rowdyruff boys! One of them wore sunglasses for some reason, "Okay lets see this map of yours." Chris said. Brick pulled out a small orb of metal and pressed a button on it and a holographic image appeared. "We're here." Brick said pointing "And the main computer system is here." He said pointing again, this time to a room in the bottom of the map. "Okay so we just need to head downwards." Chris said "There is an elevator over there. That should get us there." Brick said. Suddenly the moans of zombies could be heard coming from the corridor Leon had come from. From the corridor Chris had come from, there came the chittering of the mutants and monsters. "Move it!" Butch yelled and they ran like heck down the hall to the elevator.
Brick had a lot of military training but nothing had prepared him for what he was facing. He also couldn't believe that he allied himself with his worst enemies, or that he, Brick, leader of the Rowdyruff boys had saved, Blossom, leader of the Powerpuff girls. Why had he done it? He had wanted to destroy her him self that's why. But something inside him told Brick he had done it for a different reason. What had possessed him to do it? Could it be he cared about her? No! No way in heck! Anyway she already had a boy friend! These were the thoughts that went through Bricks mind as he ran down the corridor. Suddenly a group of Hunters leaped out and he stopped thinking and leapt into action. Blossom was also thinking Leon had just been pinned down by a hunter and struggled to push him off, but there was a round of gunfire and the hunter died. He looked up to see it was Ada who had saved him. "Thanks Ada." He said and got up. "No problem handsome." Ada said and ran off to kill more hunters. Leon kept thinking about Ada, she was pretty cute, and she had always been there for him. She had always seemed to want to be more then friends. Leon couldn't know how much Ada was thinking about him at that moment. Ada had always liked Leon a little more then friends when they had first met, but that feeling had grown until she realized she was in love with Leon. But he never seemed ready to return her feelings. But she was willing to wait until he was. "Ummmm, Ada hello? Would you stay with us?" Ada opened her eyes and saw Chris staring at her. They had almost reached the elevator and suddenly the zombie and mutant hoard that had been chasing them was just around the corner. "What do we do!? We can't outrun them!" Luis yelled. "You guys go on and I'll hold them off." Said Brick. "What!? We're not going to leave you here! You can't fight them off all by yourself!" Boomer yelled, "He won't be." Leon said, "I'll help him." "This is crazy! Chris tell them this is crazy!" Claire yelled. Chris stood there, then said "Leon, Brick, are you sure your willing to do this? It's most likely you won't come back alive." "If we don't, none of us will come out of this alive." Brick said "Trust us." "He's right." Said Princess "By the time the elevator gets too us, we'll be zombie chow." Said Samantha "Okay lets move." Chris said. Everyone stood in shock, "I said lets move!" Reluctantly they moved off, all except for Ada. "Ada go!" She stood there, "Ada just go!" Leon said "I can't leave you here Leon!" Ada said. Leon grabbed her arm and pulled her into a kiss. They stood like that until Brick said "Uhhhhh, Leon we've got work to do here," Leon pulled away and told Ada to run, which she finally did. Brick pulled of his glasses and dropped them on ground; he then unsheathed his combat knife. Leon reloaded his machine gun and pulled out a grenade. They looked at each other and they both nodded, and began assaulting the army of horrors with all they had. Brick flung energy blast after energy blast, along with some fireballs for good measure. Leon emptied every clip of ammo he had into the oncoming mass of terrors along with his grenades. But still the monsters kept coming refusing to let up. Eventually Leon ran out of ammo, he unsheathed his combat knifes and the two leapt at the creatures. Blossom watched as the two fought with ferocity that she had never even thought possible. There where flashes from the combat knifes, and bursts of red energy and fire from Brick. There where also snaps that Blossom assumed those must be them breaking monsters necks. Yet they couldn't win they were soon going to be overwhelmed the monsters blocked them from view. Suddenly the elevator arrived and they ran inside. Blossom turned for a final look at them. She couldn't see them except for the flashes, then the doors slammed shut and Blossom saw no more.
