CHAPTER 19: THE FINAL SHOWDOWN

A/N: Guess what? I'M BACK! A little earlier than I expected to be too. Anyway, while I was gone, I did think of an awesome idea for this chapter and I typed it all out on my phone. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Blossom and Bubbled floated up the stairs. "Okay, you wake Boomer and I'll wake," Blossom paused and sighed, "Butch and Buttercup."

"Good luck with that," Bubbles said as she went into the room she shared with Boomer.

Blossom opened the door to Butch and Buttercup's shared room and found them still sound asleep. Hate to do this, but we need you two to fight. she thought. She cautiously poked Buttercup. "BC! Wake up!" Buttercup stirred a little. "Uh, Brick made bacon for breakfast?"

Buttercup's eyes snapped open and she jumped up. "Bacon?! Where?! Hand it over!"

"There's no bacon."

Buttercup scowled at her pink sister. "Then why the hell did you wake me up?"

"We've got a problem. The Punks are back."

Buttercup's eyes narrowed. "Those bitches dare to come back?!" she growled. "I'll wake Butch."

Blossom stopped her. "May I? I need some decent payback."

"Okay, but don't say I didn't warn you. I'm going to go get dressed." Buttercup got up and walked into the bathroom.

Blossom smirked and looked at the sleeping Butch who had his face buried in a pillow. She lightly ran a couple fingers down his back which caused him to shudder in his sleep. Blossom moved down towards the end of the bed to tickle his feet, with no avail. She went back up towards his head and tickled his armpits and neck. Instead of waking up, his arms reached over, grabbed Blossom, and before she knew it she was pinned underneath him. "Eep!" she squeaked.

Buttercup walked back in and stopped in her tracks and started laughing. "I warned you."

Blossom glared. "You didn't warn me about what he'd do! Do he do this to you ever?"

"Yeah. Need help?" Blossom nodded. "You're the boss." Buttercup walked over to her side of the bed and picked up the baseball bat off the floor. She grinned evily. "Hey, dumb fuck! Wake up!" she yelled and smacked him on the back of the head with the bat.

"Oww!" he said as he woke up from the impact and pushed himself up from Blossom. Butch's eyes widened. "Wait a minute. Buttercup, if you're over there, then who was under me?" He looked down at a rather steamed Blossom. "Oh, so Brick's sharing?" he said and started laughing. This earned him another smack in the back of the head. "Oww!"

Buttercup let the bat drop to the floor. "Be lucky you weren't stuck too long. He normally humps me in his sleep," Buttercup said like it was the most normal thing in the world.

"Okay, TMI!" Blossom said and made a disgusted face.

"Oh, don't act like you wouldn't like it. You'd love it if I was Brick, especially doing the real thing once you decide to," Butch said.

Blossom gasped. "He told you?!"

"Yeah? Oh, don't look so shocked. You probably tell your sisters everything, so why can't my brothers and I share secrets, mainly the details when it comes to doing chicks?" Blossom was about to protest with Butch stopped her. "He loves you more than anything. Don't make him wait forever."

Blossom blushed knowing that Butch knew what Brick and her did in bed. She regained her composure. "Umm, anyway, we have to go. The Punks are back."

"Great," Butch said sarcastically and rolled his eyes. "Be down in a bit."

"Okay, but try to be quick. We don't have much time to waste." Blossom exited the room and shut the door behind her. She was met out in the hallway by Bubbles and Boomer.

"Hey, what took so long?" Bubbles asked.

"Oh, just trying to wake Butch up," Blossom said.

"What happened?" Boomer asked. "Get pinned down?"

Blossom stared at him. "Yeah, how'd you know?"

Boomer chuckled. "Blossom, I've lived with him longer than you and I've had to wake him up plenty of times. He didn't start humping you did he?"

"No, thank God. That's happened to you?" Blossom asked.

"Yeah, it's not exactly the most pleasant thing to get humped by a guy who also happens to be your own brother all while he's still asleep. You're lucky."

The door to the greens' room opened and out stepped Butch and Buttercup. "All right, let's go kick some Punk ass!" Buttercup said and her and Butch high fived. "Did you remember the cannon?"

Butch laughed. "No, sadly, I didn't."

Blossom smiled and rolled her eyes. "Let's go. We're not shooting them with a cannon."

"Aw, quit ruining our fun, ice princess," Butch whined.

"I think you two have enough fun with each other in the bedroom," Blossom mumbled. Butch and Buttercup didn't quite hear what she said but Boomer and Bubbles did which caused them to snicker.

"What? What did you say?" Buttercup growled.

"Oh, nothing important," Blossom said. She noticed Buttercup still glaring at her. "Save your energy for Brute, BC."

The five went downstairs and met Brick in the kitchen. He handed everyone a vial of antidote. "Okay, whoever gets the chance injects the Punk you're fighting. As far as I know, it should work on them. Try not to let them get ahold of it and inject you. If that does happen, don't worry because I know how to reverse it. Ready?"

"As ready as we will be for this early in the morning," Butch grumbled.

Brick gave him a "Really?" look. "Butch, it's ten thirty in the morning. It's not that early."

"Well, it is for me, and you're not the one who just got woken up with a baseball bat to the head." Brick chuckled and opened the front door. They floated outside and were met face to face with the Punks.

"Hello, sweetie," Beserk said and smirked at Brick.

"Beserk," he said sourly and looked over her arms. He noticed angry scars covered them. "How was your recovery?"

Beserk growled before lunging at Brick and pinning him down. "Thanks to you injecting me with Antidote X, my arms are never fully healing and I'm going to have scars for the rest of my life, you dick!"

"Oh, so one second I'm 'sweetie' and the next I'm a dick. Make up your mind, sweetie," he said, the last part being sarcastic.

Blossom fumed. "Get your slutty ass off of my boyfriend."

Beserk looked at Blossom and shrugged. "Okay. I guess taking out the competition is better than fighting the prize." She lunged at Blossom and tackled her to the ground.

Blossom threw her off and she crashed into a nearby building. Brick attacked her and the two crashed to the ground leaving a crater. Blossom froze Beserk's hands and feet together but left the rest of body open to get pounded or to inject the antidote.

Nearby, Boomer tackled Brat and started to shock her by conjuring electricity into his body and sending it to his hands. He directed it straight into Brat's body and she began to scream in agony. Brat managed to throw him off and went for Bubbles.

Brute growled and attack Buttercup. The two rolled around on the ground and threw hits at one another. Butch pulled Brute off Buttercup and threw her to the ground.

The battle raged on. The Punks were losing, and they knew it. A beaten and bruised Brat looked to her leader. "We're losing. What do we do?"

Before Beserk could reply she felt a prick in her arm. "Oww! Oh, how original. Antidote X," she growled at Brick.

"Actually it is original. Original formula, that is," he said and smirked at her.

Beserk's eyes widened as she looked around at her sisters and finally back to Blossom and Brick. "What's it going to do to us?" she whispered.

"Permanently block the Chemical X in your blood, hence blocking out all of your powers," Blossom said.

A few tears leaked out of Beserk's eyes and she began to sob quietly. She looked back up to Blossom. "Congratulations. Looks like you won."

Blossom immediately felt remorse. "Brick, we shouldn't have done this."

"We did the right thing. They're too much of a threat to us, to everyone," he said.

Blossom looked into his eyes. "Brick, they're just like you and your brothers."

Brick looked at her like she was crazy. "What are you talking about?"

"They're just like you and your brothers when you were five: blinded by rage and hate and bent on destroying anyone who got in their way." Brick's eyes widened in realization. "Look at how much you changed because you saw things from a different perspective."

"How didn't I see this?" he whispered.

"Because you're blinded by rage and hate towards them instead of my sisters and I."

Blossom kneeled down to the sobbing Beserk. She lightly touched one of Beserk's burns which caught her attention. "What are you doing?" Beserk asked.

"Fixing a mistake." Blossom placed one hand on each of Beserk's arms and closed her eyes. She concentrated and her hands began to glow a light pink. Beserk gasped and when Blossom removed her hands, there were no traces of the previous burns.

"How'd you do that?" Brick asked, astonished.

"Concentrated most of my powers into one place. I learned how to do that a while back but kept it a secret and only use it when absolutely necessary."

Beserk lifted her arms and looked where the scars had been. She stood up and gave Blossom a hug. "Why would you help me? Especially after I treat you and your fiancee horribly?"

"Brick should never have burnt you so bad, that's why. I've fixed one of his mistakes, and I think it's his turn to fix the other."

Beserk looked at her confused. "What do you mean?"

Brick looked at Beserk with regret written all over his face. "It was a little extreme taking away your powers. I know how to fix it."

Beserk smiled sadly. "That's great, but after all the trouble we caused you, I don't think we deserve to get them back."

"Nonsense," Bubbles said as she walked up with Boomer and Brat. "You were letting your anger get the best of you. It's not entirely your fault. I always saw this small detail about the Ruffs and I never hated them because I realized that they didn't know any different and were born to hate. But look now. They fought against that evil, and so can you."

"Come stay with us," Brick said. "I'm going to wait a couple days before correcting the antidote so your bodies don't reject the fix from being changed from one extreme to the other so quickly in such a small time period."

"So even after all the problems we caused you, you're going to forgive us?" Brute asked.

"Past is the past, and everyone is allowed to have a chance to change for the better," Buttercup said.

Bubbles suddenly squealed. "We can have a girls' night!"

Brute and Buttercup both rolled their eyes and groaned. When they realized their twin actions, they looked at each other and laughed. "I can see we're going to get along just fine," Buttercup said.

Brute smiled. "Agreed."

"And don't forget we've got weddings to plan!" Bubbles chirped. She turned to Brat. "But first things first, I would like to ask if you would like to be one of my bridesmaid, but more importanly my maid of honor."

Brat looked shocked. "I can't do that. Give that to one of your sisters. I'll be a bridemaid, but maid of honor is just too much. I'm barely even your friend."

"That could definitely change by the time the wedding rolls around," Bubbles said and smiled at Brat.

Blossom looked at Brick and saw he still had a look of remorse on his face. "It's okay, Brick. Stop hating yourself over this. It can be fixed."

He sighed. "You're right. Who knew the battle would end like this?" He wrapped his arm around Blossom's shoulder. "This is a new beginning for all of us." Blossom smiled at him and the group of now nine walked to the Puffs' and Ruffs' shared house.

A/N: So how was that for a major twist? ^_^ I felt a little bad totally killing the Punks off and I somehow managed to think of this. Anyway, hoped you liked and please review.
