"Did you get the combination?"

"Not yet, this guy ain't talking."

"I meant, look for it on his desk, genius!"

"Oh right, sorry."

"Hurry up, we've only got a few seconds before the police respond to the silent alarm!" Brick reminded as Butch dropped the manager of the big supermarket located west of Townsville.

"Why can't we just bust the damn safe open?" Butch questioned finally finding the combination with his x-ray vision.

"Because we can't create any noise," Brick answered.

"But aren't we just going to smash through the roof after this anyway?" Butch argued.

Becoming more frustrated, Brick argued back with "You know what I mean."

He grabbed the combination from his brother and with the paper he turned the dial on the safe opening it. "Okay, grab what you can and be quick" Brick ordered.

"What about the camera's in this place?" Butch remembered, filling up a bag full of cash.

"I got Boomer working on the wires," Brick explained, throwing the rest of the money in the other bags they brought with them. "C'mon let's head up to the roof, with any luck that moron Boomer should be done" Brick said as he and Butch flew through the ceiling leaving the terrified and shaken manager in a office full of dust.

They smashed through the roof and landed on it, meeting with Boomer whom was floating there himself waiting for them. He was holding a pair of tweezers.

"Hey guys, did you get the money?" the blue 5 year old ruff asked.

"Yeah, did you deactivate the security cameras?" asked Brick.

"Don't worry, I cut the red wires in the box, just like you said" Boomer assured.

"Ok good, now let's get out of here before, wait, red wires?" Brick turned back to Boomer raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah. You did say red wires didn't you?" Boomer asked, becoming slightly unsure.

"I said yellow wires! They're the ones for the cameras!" Brick scolded him, flailing his arms around. "Can't you get anything right?"

Suddenly the trio of ruffs heard sirens, and not with super hearing; which meant that the sirens were close. In fact, they were surrounding the whole supermarket.

"Well what does it matter Brick? Even if we straight up bust in and took the money instead of all this sneaking around, the cops still wouldn't be able to stop us" Butch argued.

"But it would've been much dang quicker if we just snuck in, grabbed the cash and got out. Now it looks like we're going to have to fight our way out" Brick complained.

"Ah so what? It's only the cops. Since when have they ever done anything useful in this city?" Butch mocked rhetorically.

"Why can't we just fly over them?" Boomer suggested the obvious.

"It's not the police I'm worried about. Any second now, you know who, are going to show up and we'll lose this money guaranteed" Brick explained to them.

"This is why I told you to cut the cameras Boomer! So we wouldn't be recognised and call the cops on us, and not to mention those godforsaken puffs" Brick said that last part of his sentence in a darker tone.

"Not to interrupt or anything but shouldn't we take off now?" Butch reminded them, clear urgency in his voice.

"What's the point? Those puffs are gonna show up any second now. Watch, three two one" he counted down and stood there in silence waiting. But after a few seconds, nothing happened. Brick started looking around in the sky, obviously confused.

"Are you sure they're going to show up?" questioned Butch.

"I don't understand. They're normally here by now. Not that I want them here or anything but, where are they?" Brick wondered.

"Doesn't the mayor usually call them, or something like that?" asked Boomer.

Meanwhile, in the Mayor's office, the mayor had just been informed of the situation in the supermarket in west Townsville, and had tried to reach the hotline for the Powerpuffs. But unfortunately for him, he was stuck head first in a pickle jar upside down like an overturned tortoise. "Hello? Helloooooo? Fine time for Ms Bellum to take a sick day."

"I guess they're not coming" Boomer shrugged.

"Rowdyruff boys! We know it's you! Surrender now and we won't have to use physical force!" a voice from a megaphone came from the front of the store and the boys floated towards it, staring down to see a whole squad of police cars surrounding the place with onlookers being held back. Police were helping civilians out of the store.

"Pfft, what can these guys do? We can easily smash the skulls of each and everyone of these pigs" Butch proclaimed punching his fists together.

"I dunno Butch, there's quite a lot of them this time-" but Boomer was interrupted by his red brother.

"We can take 'em" Brick smirked down at cops, a wave of arrogance coming over him. He turned to face the two.

"Look guys, it looks like them girls ain't coming after all, which makes this a whole lot easier. Butch, for once I agree with you. These idiots deserve a good lesson in what retaliation looks like" he said with a devilish smirk spreading across his rounded face.

"I'm not sure about this Brick, even for us, that seems kinda dangerous" Boomer pointed out.

His red leader facepalmed. "Boomer, they're cops, and we're criminals. To them, we're the enemy, and they're not gonna show any mercy on us. They're always gonna be the enemy, and we're never goin' easy on them in no way either!" he yelled in his brother's direction.

"But Brick, we're only here to take money so we can live. If we beat up a whole bunch of cops, then-"

"What do you want us to do, Boomer? Just fly down there and say 'excuse us chief'," Brick put on a mocking high pitched voice imitating the blue ruff. "'But we only wanted this money to put food in our stomachs, so could you just forget all of our previous crimes and let us go free?' no, they'll taser us on the spot!"

"Will you two quit your yappin' and get on with this" interrupted Butch who had dropped the bag of money and was staring down the officers. Brick and Boomer, although Boomer was skeptical, did the same as well. He decided in the end it was best to obey his brothers.

"So what's your answer boys?" the chief called up at them. "Are we going to have to do this the easy way or the hard way?"

"Boys, shall we give the police chief our answer?" Brick smirked in a calm tone of voice as he darted down towards the front of the store with his brothers following him.

The Townsville police, wary of what the boys were doing, placed their hands on their guns, but the boys were too fast. They suddenly went into three separate colour streaks, knocking out several police officers who were just about to draw their guns and did the same to any other officer carrying a weapon.

The crowd gasped and instinctively ran with some ducking behind cars for cover. The boys started to throw the squad cars at the groups of officers and the chief was forced to run behind a back up car that had just arrived.

"See, what'd I tell ya? These idiots ain't got nothin' on us" Brick boasted to his brothers who were also now fully enjoying the chaos they were creating.

They went from officer to officer, squad car to squad car, smashing anyone who opposed them, or attacking them with heat vision or a new power they developed a while ago in which they could fire balls of energy in their signature colour from their hands. More and more officers were becoming injured on the spot. What started off as a quick robbery devolved into an all out assault.

"I don't know why I was against this. Now this is what I call a day out" Boomer smiled, throwing another officer into the side of a car.

Several chunks of the ground were torn out by Butch and thrown into any direction he saw a possible threat in. "Huh, you call yourselves cops? You can't even handle 3 super powered 5 year olds" he taunted.

"That's what you think" the police chief whispered to himself after hearing Butch's remark.

For too long now he had been witnessing his colleagues being assaulted mercilessly in this fight with little to no time to defend themselves or do anything back. The chief turned to the driver of the back up car.

"Any word from the mayor's office?"

"Not at all. And nothing from the girls either" the driver replied.

"Then we're going to have to use plan B. Do you have the emergency kit?" the chief asked.

"Yes sir, right here." The driver handed him the box which the chief opened and assembled a rifle, loading it with darts that contained red vials.

He leaned around the side of the car and aimed for the blue Ruff first, since he had stopped for the moment and was looking for any more potential threats.

Boomer suddenly felt a prick in the neck. "Ow! What the?" before Boomer could say any more, and after he pulled the dart out of his neck, he started to feel drowsy, and without warning, passed out and dropped to the floor.

This caught Brick's and Butch's attention. "Boomer?" they both said at the same time, genuine surprise in their voices.

Whilst Brick noticed the dart on the floor, Butch kept looking down at his brother. "Boomer, bro what happened?" but Butch was hit in the back with a similar dart and felt the same effects as Boomer, before dropping to the floor himself.

"Butch!" Brick looked down then turned his attention towards the dart he was holding.

"Tranquilizer darts, with antidote X" he realised and turned towards the direction they came from holding up his arm, where upon he was hit by a dart himself.

He pulled it out and his vision began to go blurry. Miraculously however, and to the surprise of the still standing officers, Brick managed to stay awake, although he wasn't flying anymore.

"Sir, he's not passing out!" the driver of the car pointed.

"Give me another, quickly!" the chief ordered.

Brick looked up, trying desperately to reach the car. The chief fired another shot hitting Brick again, which brought him down to his knees, but he was still trying desperately to use his powers.

"He's still resisting!"

"Just hang on" the chief said before firing one last dart at the Rowdyruff. Brick couldn't resist it any longer, he gave out. Rolling onto the floor lifelessly.

The chaos was over. The remaining police officers approached the boys cautiously, guns in hands. Ambulances arrived to treat the injured, and the chief walked up to the unconscious boys.

"Get the cuffs of duranium" he ordered.

"Where'd you get antidote X from?" one of the officers asked the chief.

"It was a plan in case the Powerpuff girls were absent in a situation and we were up against a threat. Professor Utonium gave the city a supply of it, in case we ever needed it" he answered.

The boys woke up to the ceiling of a cell. They rubbed their heads and eyes, vision slightly blurry; and slowly stood up feeling completely awful.

"What the heck happened?" Butch groaned in pain adjusting to his new surroundings. "Um, what the-? Do they honestly think they can keep us in a cell like this-" Butch tried to bend the bars of the cell but failed to do so. "What? But-"

"Don't bother Butch. They hit the lot of us with some Antidote X. Our powers will come back eventually" Brick explained.

"Annadoe wha-?" Butch tried to repeat confused.

"Antidote X, or sommin'. I heard that dolt Mojo talk about it once. It's apparently the opposite of that stuff that made us."

"And I thought we had those pigs in the palms of our hands" Butch sat down on the bed, souding a tad regretful.

"I knew attacking the police was a bad idea. We lost the money and everything!" Boomer panicked floating back and forth nervously. He didn't get a reply. "We should've just flown off and left them as quickly as we could!" he huffed sitting down next to Butch on the bed.

"Don't you two start complaining. If you had just listened to me and cut the right wires, the security wouldn't have called the cops on us" Brick berated them.

"We didn't have to attack them. But you said 'to them we're the enemy and they're not gonna show any mercy on us'," Boomer ironically echoed his words in a high pitched voice; like how Brick did to him a while ago.

"I don't have to listen to this. You two are the problem. If you didn't get yourselves into these messes then we wouldn't be here in the first place!" Brick shot back obviously frustrated. "I'm the leader! And I know what's best for us!"

"Hey don't blame all this on us, it was your plan and we followed it" Butch countered.

"My plan would've been flawless if you two just followed basic orders."

"I'm not the one who suggested we fight those cops"

"N-No, but you didn't exactly object to it either."

"Well it looks like we're going back to our usual prison cell now" Boomer sighed.

"I wouldn't count on that boys" an officer sat at a desk near the cell spoke up. "After that assault today, don't expect the judge or jury to go easy on you. They'll probably send you three offshore this time."

"Offshore? Like, to an island?" Boomer asked.

"Wait, don't we get a trial or something?" asked Brick.

"In a few days. I doubt anyone's going to want to defend you this time" the officer replied.

"Then I'll represent us," the red leader proclaimed a bit too confidently.

"I'm pretty sure you can't do that legally Brick" Boomer spoke up.

"Would they really care about something like that in this town? Don't worry we'll get out of here in no time, trust me."

So this is the first chapter of my RowdyRuff boys fanfic. I'm fairly new to the series, i thought i'd watch some episodes and enjoyed some of them, but i haven't watched that many yet, so i apologise if anything is out of continuity. But I think i've watched enough to know most things about the series. And like many people, the Rowdyruffs quickly became my favourite characters. I wanted to give them a bit more character too, since this story is going to revolve around them, and I personally thought that they didn't get that much in the series. The Powerpuff girls will be in this fanfic don't worry.

Powerpuff girls and Rowdyruff boys belong to CN.
