Chapter 7 has arrived! Hehe, you're going to love the end…
"I can't believe it. After all that happened and it was just a lie," Blossom sighed. "I knew he was too good to be true. But I had hoped that there was a way that maybe, I don't know…that maybe he really did love me. It was foolish of me to think that he had changed. I mean, what did I expect? That Brick of the Rowdyruff Boys suddenly became a caring, passionate, funny…" she began to lose herself as she droned on and on, "handsome, sweet, romantic, strong—No! I need to stop. It's over between us. I don't even know if there ever was an 'us'. You know what I mean?"
The entire time, she had been ranting to Bubbles' stuffed animal, Octi.
She frowned. "Yeah, I didn't think you did." She walked through the broken remains of her house. Ashe and soot crumbled from the walls, the stairs were collapsed, and the roof was missing. Picking Octi off of the living room floor, that is what remained of the living room, she flew up to the second floor. In her bedroom, she glimpsed out the windows and tapped the glass lightly. It immediately shattered, the shards dripping to the yard below.
She leaned against the wall and slid down onto the floor. All the while, she stared at the toy. Her mind grew consumed with thoughts of Brick. "He just led me on," she groaned and threw Octi across the room. The stuffed animal bounced across the floor and landed on something, a crinkling thud echoing through the room. Crawling across, she picked up a piece of paper. On it was the drawing of Brick she had drawn days earlier. A crash across town vibrated the city. She gasped, running to the window. "Brick!"
Hands locked, teeth gritted, Butch and Brick stood face-to-face as one attempted to overpower the other. But due to their matched strength, it was a never-ending struggle. That is, until Him intervened. He threw Brick back with a single swipe of the claw.
"Don't be stupid, Brick. We can finally rule this pathetic little town," Him said, walking closer to him. "Don't give it all up for some girl!"
Brick grunted and struggled to stand. "She isn't some girl. She meant the world to me and you took that away!"
"Oh, please! Do you really think she could possibly love you? You lied to her. You led her on. Now what sort of boyfriend does that?" he taunted.
Brick yelled and raced towards him. Again, he was thrown back into the concrete. Only this time, he did not get back up.
"Foolish child," Him spat. "Butch! Finish him off!"
Butch landed silently beside his brother and glared down upon him. Pulling back a fist, he readied the final blow.
"Get away from him!"
Blossom tackled Butch out of the way and leaned beside Brick.
"Blossom?"
"It's going to be okay," she shushed. Butch landed behind her. "But we need to find Buttercup and Bubbles. It's the only way to defeat Him!"
"I'll distract him," he said, glancing at Butch. "You find your sisters."
She nodded, ready to take off.
"Blossom? Wait."
"What is it?"
He frowned. "I'm sorry."
She sighed, but shook her head. "We'll talk later, when all of this is finished. So you better still be alive when this is over." And with that, she was off to find the Girls. Brick prepared himself and faced his brother.
"Alright, Butch! Let's finish this!"
Butch sneered and darted towards him.
"Bubbles! Buttercup!" Blossom called. The sun had vanished. No light was found in the entire city of Townsville, making it even harder for her to see. Soon, though, she arrived at the remains of a collapsed building. In the middle, she saw green calling out from the midst of the gray rubble.
"Buttercup!" She pulled her sister out and laid her on her lap. "Buttercup, you need to wake up."
"Ugh…B-Blossom?" she croaked.
"Yes, it's me. Now listen. Him has completely destroyed the city and if we don't stop him, then this is the end. So I need you to give it your all!"
She gripped her side and stood. "Where's Bubbles?"
"I don't know. I've been searching for her everywhere but I can't find her."
"Do you think she's okay?" she asked hoarsely.
"I hope so. Come on. Let's go!"
They flew through the streets and through alleys, but so far Bubbles was not turning up.
"I don't get it! Where could she be?"
"I don't know," Blossom admitted. "She wasn't at the house."
"Wait. Where's Boomer?"
"Boomer? I'm not sure but why?"
Buttercup crossed her arms. "Because when we were looking for you, Butch and Boomer came over to our house to look for Brick, and Bubbles now has a crush on Boomer," she gagged. "It's so gross."
"Really? Hmm… I wonder…" She flew high above and scanned the city. Using her x-ray vision, she peered into buildings until she saw two blue spots hiding within the Mayor's office. "I found them!"
They crashed through the ceiling, startling Bubbles. "Blossom! Buttercup!" she cried as she jumped into Blossom's arms. Boomer lay on the ground, unconscious. "I've tried everything. I can't get him to wake up…"
"Have you tried splashing water in his face?" Buttercup suggested.
Bubbles nodded solemnly. "Blossom, do you have any ideas?"
"Well, I have one but it's silly."
"Please tell me! I don't want anything to happen to him," she begged.
"Okay, but don't laugh," she warned. She whispered in her ear and Bubbles gasped before giggling. "It's worth a shot!" she said excitedly, bending over Boomer's motionless body.
"What?" Buttercup asked. "What did you tell her?"
"Just watch," Blossom grinned.
"Oh, gross!" Buttercup exclaimed, covering her eyes when Bubbles kissed Boomer lightly. "Why would you tell her to do that? That won't work."
"It appears to be working to me," Blossom laughed and pointed. Boomer sat up groggily, rubbing his head.
"Ugh…where am I?"
"Boomer!" Bubbles jumped onto his lap, threw her arms around his neck, and kissed his cheek. His eyes widened and he smiled lazily.
"I think it still hurts right here," he lied, tapping his other cheek. She giggled and kissed him again.
"Oh for Pete's sake! Will you two knock it off! That's just sick," Buttercup crossed her arms.
"I wouldn't talk if I were you," Blossom sang.
Buttercup eyed her suspiciously. "What do you mean by that?"
"Him has Butch under a spell. And the only way to break that is—"
"Oh no!" Buttercup interrupted. "I'm not going to do that so just get that idea outta your head!"
"Okay, I guess if you want Townsville to fall into the hands of Him and forever remain in a realm of darkness, then who am I to say otherwise?" she shrugged.
"Forever?" her sister gulped.
"Forever."
"Realm of darkness?"
"Complete, utter darkness."
"Come on, Buttercup," Bubbles smiled. "It isn't so bad. It's actually sort of fun!"
Boomer nodded in agreement.
"You two may think it's fun, but I'm not into that whole lovey-dovey idea," Buttercup retorted.
"Yeah, I guess you're right," Blossom paced around her. "Sure Bubbles was able to step up to the plate and fulfill her duty to the town while you left us hanging, but oh well."
"Left you hanging?" Buttercup squeaked with anger. "Why I out to—"
"What are you going to do?" Blossom challenged. "Are you going to hide back here or are you going to do something to save Townsville?"
"Err! Okay, fine! I'll do it!" And she crashed through the ceiling, yelling and cursing the whole way.
"You go, Buttercup," Blossom nodded, satisfied. "Come on Bubbles, Boomer. Let's get our city back!"
The three followed Buttercup to Him and Butch. Along the way, Boomer looked at Blossom.
"So what happens after all of this? Do we return to enemies or what?" He held Bubbles hands and frowned. "I don't want to go back to fighting."
"Me neither," Bubbles mewled.
"We aren't going to return to that life. We aren't enemies anymore. We may have to separate Butch and Buttercup occasionally, but that's about it," she laughed. "Speaking of Buttercup…"
Up ahead, Buttercup frowned but faced Butch anyways and hollered, "Hey you!"
Butch, about to kick Brick, paused to look at Buttercup. "You talking to me?" he snapped.
"Yeah I am! Look at you. You think you're so tough!"
"Cause I am!" he exclaimed, punching a nearby building and causing it to collapse.
"Prove it, moron!"
He growled and cut across the skies right towards her.
"You owe me big time, Blossom," she muttered.
