I do not own any of the character in this story at all.
Chapter 2: The Fall
Pacing rapidly in his office, the Mayor ogles the wanton destruction of Townsville commencing at the hands of Mojo Jojo through the picture window, hoping the girls would arrive soon.
"NO!" Mayor screeches verbosely, his eyes opening wide with terror, watching in terror as the Mojo's Robo Jojo rolls across the Townville convention center, "NOT THE PICKELED AVENGER CONVENTION! AVIAN PICKLE JUST PUT ALL HER FAN WORKS ON DISPLAY! SHE'S THE BEST WRITER IN THE FANDOM!"
Failing to his knees, the Mayor sobs uncontrollably, covering his face with his hands. "It's not fair; I wanted to go to the convention and get an autograph from Avian!"
Opening the door with a soft creek, Ms. Bellum steps swiftly into the office, glancing down at the Mayor, disapproval etched into her purple orbs. As the years had passed, Mayor had become more and more childlike and this annoyed the red head, but she just put up with it because it was her job.
"Mayor," She begins in a soft warm voice, "The convention isn't a total loss. The girls will save what is left of it, and you can still meet your idol."
Blowing his nose on his sleeve, Mayor looks up at Ms. Bellum with large childlike eyes, "Promise?"
The woman smiles down at the man, giving an affirmative nod, "Of course."
Just as Ms. Bellum redirects her attention to the outside world, a rainbow of light zips passed, heading right for the robot. The girls were finally here to save the day and make the monkey pay.
The citizenry of Townsville shriek piercingly as the walls of a small office building crack and Mojo's Robo Jojo bursts froth, spreading debris across the ground as it rumbles through the void, crushing glass and stone into dust.
"Run little vermin!" Mojo's voice booms from a loud speaker, "I, Mojo Jojo, will take over Townsville and bring an end to those silly conventions based on pickles!"
Moving his paw along the console, the simian taps a bluish button and the cannon atop the robot sparked to life with a golden light.
"Didn't anyone tell you not to play with pulsating light Mojo? It's bad for your health" An unassailable voice lectures the monkey, who swivels in his chair to see Blossom coating something in a stream of ice.
"Get away from that power box," Mojo clamors crossly, banging his fist against his command board, "You will…"
Changing from its golden hue to a sickly orange and the cannon emits an ear deafening screech, causing even Mojo to scream in agony.
"Buttercup," Voices the pink clad puff, her hands over her ears, "tear out the cannon!"
"Now that's my kind of action." Buttercup articulates over the horrendous noise, diving directly at the robot.
"Do not rend that cannon from the robot you insufferable Puffs," Mojo's voice issues in pain from the PA, "You will cause a chain reaction that will destroy the entire city! I, Mojo Jojo, do not wish to see that happen!"
"Stuff it Mojo, I'll…" Buttercup states; flying directly at the target, only to be silenced a moment later by the rotating arm of the machine.
The green clad girl crashes through the window of a Morbucks bank and skids across the floor into an open vault, jamming her fingers deep into the tiled floor to stop her momentum.
"Dammit," Buttercup swears in pain, rising to her feet; punching a wall full of deposit boxes, many of which fall to the floor with loud clangs, "I'm going to beat that monkey to a pulp."
Grimacing, the green puff inspects the tips of her now blood soaks finger, only to place them to her face, dragging the substance across as if it was war paint. With a fire sparking in Buttercup's eyes, the puff saunters through the smoke filled building, a large grin on her face as she exits into the sunlight.
"Buttercup," Bubbles shouts, aghast at the sight of her sister's face, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine Bubbles, just a few scratches on my fingers. Ghaa!"
The puff flinches, quickly covering her ears, the pitch of the cannon increasing dramatically.
What's it going to take to shut down that thing? Buttercup ponders, ramming her shoulder into one of the tank treads.
Weaving in the sky above, the remaining puffs aggressively discharge their eyebeams against the robot's surface, whilst avoiding the flailing arms.
"Stop attacking you dimwitted girls. I, Mojo Jojo, will not warn you again on the untold da….OW! Which one of you was it that shot Mojo in the butt through his protective dome? Mojo will not stand for such insolence wh…" Mojo furiously rages through the PA, dancing around in his chair from the pain as he tries to fan his bottom, his boot slipping from his paw and onto a large golden button, "Mojo did not mean to fire the cannon in its current state!" T
he cannon releases a flash of light, the sick orange beam of energy streaks across the sky; colliding with a pickle cart and vaporizing the item to atoms. Black smokes slowly rises from the barrel as the cannon's begins to charge up again, but with its normal golden glow.
"Girls listen up!" Blossom screams at the top of her lungs, "Formation Ro Ensign Spock. Buttercup, you're taking the center charge this time."
The green clad puff grins, summersaults into the air, cracking her knuckles, "It will be my pleasure Red. Let's teach this monkey a lesson!"
Without another word, the three puffs split up and begin their attack runs.
Through all the explosions and shouts of the battle, the four combatants failed to notice a little green glob with glowing red eyes scaling the exterior of the Robo Jojo's cannon stalk. The gelatinous pile of goop's insides bubbles violently, leaving a small trail of acid like fluid that slowly erodes any material it wishes.
At long last, the little creature reaches the apex of its ascent, laughing in a low spooky tone, dissolving a minute portion of metal beneath its body. Ever so slowly, the jelly monster filters through the hole, splashing softly onto wires of the cannon's interior, fusing several of them together due to its acidity.
The blob's red eyes shift back and forth, searching for a vulnerable system, perceiving a power control panel ripe for sabotage. Grinning wickedly, the goop monster slides over to the panel; wrenching the front of it from the wall with its mighty jaws, eating it in one gulp. With one final chortle, the beast jumps into the active panel, sacrificing itself to control the cannon, doing the job it was sent here to complete.
Grabbing onto the robots giant arm, Bubbles and Blossom grunt trying to prevent it from lashing out at their sister.
"Buttercup, get rid of that cannon now! Mojo is going for another shot!" Blossom screeches, hearing the cannon move above her.
"I'm on it Red," Grunts the green clad girl who darts to the mouth of the cannon, gripping the barrel with her hands.
Her fingers gouge into the metal, Buttercup pulls with all her might, not taking notice of the sickly green hue, building up in front of her. Releasing one last whoosh, the cannon unleashes the vile energy, enveloping Buttercup in its light as it travels across the city and out to the open ocean.
The girl screams in agony as the laser saps her powers, but she fights the entire time to stay consciousness. At last, the luminous object winks out of existence and the green clad girl falls to the sea, her velocity increasing every second. Unable to escape her dangerous decent, Buttercup closes her eyes and accepts her fate, tears flowing freely as plunges deep into the water. As the girl reaches out one last time towards the surface; her head strikes a large boulder and everything goes dark.
