Authors Note: Hi all, sorry for the short chapter. This fic is nearing the end, and I wanted to put more room for the next part. Have a good day, and take care.
Bubbles had done her best with some help from Boomer to explain everything that had occurred over the last few days. Needless to say, the blue ruff didn't get a chance to speak much, as he was terrified, sitting near his girlfriend while Buttercup had a dagger sharp glare focused on him. One odd move and the couch that he and Bubbles were on would be flipped over, and he would be through the floor.
"Wow… I have no words," Blossom could only say. Hearing all of this was overwhelming. Professor Utonium was glad the rowdyruffs saved his daughter when they did, but he still wasn't entirely happy with it. That and hearing that the two were dating was setting off too many thoughts in his head.
"So why should we care that your brothers are captured?" Buttercup asked him to cut to the point. She sure seemed to be taking this well, unless her focus masked it. Bubbles was nervous, but glad to know that her raven haired sister was worried for her wellbeing.
"That's exactly why Bubbles brought me here," Boomer claimed, Bubbles nodding to that.
"We need your help. Mojo made some super robot, and it is actually able to put up a mean fight," Bubbles explained. If the robot had the ability to fight the rowdyruffs and Bubbles, then going in with just the two of them would have ended horribly.
"Mojo made a good robot? Now I'm really wondering if you went insane with the ruffs," Buttercup retorted, initially disbelieving it. But how depressed Boomer was by the kidnapping of his siblings proved it, and he was not making a big effort to try and hide it.
"Buttercup! He's my boyfriend. I'm not asking you to respect him or me. I just want you to respect my decision…" Bubbles angrily claimed. She was feeling insulted by how the green puff was reacting to this. Bubbles's words though seemed to cut through Buttercup, making her sigh. Blossom thought this was the perfect time to intervene.
"I think we're obligated to help save Brick and Butch. After all, they and Boomer saved Bubbles," Blossom tried to force the focus of the conversation on the more important matter. Her siblings could sort out their arguments later. Boomer felt bad to be causing problems in the family, but he doubted they could be avoided in any way.
"It was nothing really," Boomer insisted, leaving out the fact how the rescue was accidental. It led to nothing but great times, either way.
"Hmph… fine. We'll go save them, but only because I want to break Mojo's jaw," Buttercup agreed. The professor didn't like the sound of how dangerous this would be, trying to think up any ideas to help.
"Yay! Thank you both!" Bubbles let out a sigh of relief, pulling Blossom and Buttercup both into a tight hug. Boomer felt that weight off his chest. He was ready to go when they were. Time was burning, and he knew no matter what, he was going to hear his brothers make some snarky remark about how long he took to save them.
"Wait! Before you go, I have something that might help," the professor said, before he went running down to his laboratory. After a minute, they saw him come back up the steps. He approached and presented a small black device that was able to fit in the palm of his hand.
"What is it?" Boomer quirked, taking it. Tiny as it was, it seemed like nothing special beyond one button on the side. The blue ruff had to resist the strong desire to press that button.
"Well, I invented it originally to act as an emergency stop switch for anything in the lab in case I got into trouble alone. However, it should help against the robot," the professor elaborated on the use. This pocket button was designed to act like an electromagnetic pulse. Bubbles took it from her counterpart, putting it safely away in her pocket.
"Thanks, professor," Bubbles hugged her father. He patted her head, wishing them all good luck. The four of them flew off, leaving their streaks of light behind them, as well as leaving a hole in the ceiling and one very annoyed professor. This was a common thing, though he would fix it within the hour.
At Mojo Jojo's lair, the malicious monkey himself was in his workshop, trying to come up with some way to destroy his children. So far, the best option that kept coming to mind was to let the robot go in the cage like they were trapped animals and finish them off slowly. Upstairs, Brick was beginning to waken up from his unconscious state.
"Where the… dang it," Brick growled. He was bruised and beaten, seeing the electrified barrier going between the bars. He looked to his left, seeing Butch lying on the floor. He looked pretty content for his slumber, being slightly curled up into a ball. The rowdyruff leader, groaned aware that they had to get out, and fast.
"One… two… three!" Brick punched the bars hard, feeling a current of electricity shock through his hand, starting from his knuckles and racing up his arm, making him jerk back. After the impact that did nothing, he held his slightly scorched hand in pain. The orange haired boy heard clanking against the tiled floor, seeing that all too familiar robot that had beaten them earlier, its tail dragging behind it.
"Hey there, one eye! When I get out of here, I'm gonna use your tail to rip your head off!" Brick threatened. No response. The robot was only here under orders and took no rubbish from its captives. The red ruff punched the bars again, feeling the electricity strike through his fist once more. He panted, his energy feeling more and more drained each attempt at busting out.
"You so owe me for this, Butch…" Brick muttered before he wound up another punch, the sounds of static coursing louder than a pack of bug zappers. He was determined to get them out. He knew for sure that their father was out for blood this time, judging by the machine before them. They heard a loud banging that seemed to catch the robots attention, seeing it wander away to investigate. Brick returned to his angry bashing on the cage.
The robot arrived to the room where it heard the crashing come from, scanning around, before it noticed a few random rocks falling onto the ground around itself. It looked up to see cracks up in the ceiling that grew bigger each millisecond. It suddenly burst, breaking it into chunks and pieces which fell around it. The machine simply knocked any aside that came toward it. The all too familiar super powered children floated inside through the newly created hole.
"This that hunk of junk you were talking about?" Buttercup asked, glaring at the machine that seemed to be waiting for them to make their first move.
"Remember, we have to be careful," Blossom reminded. Bubbles and Boomer were ready this time, having learnt all the skills this mechanical menace withheld. They had to destroy it fast before Mojo Jojo could be alerted to what was going on.
