Chapter 47: Downtown Brawl: Part 1: Attack

The sun was setting and roof of City Hall was reflecting the sun off its white dome. Bubbles was floating down the steps towards the mall to get a quick dinner before going back to help the Mayor look for the pickle jar he had misplaced. She procures a salad and a small soda from the restaurant and sits down in the small gazebo to eat. After eating she picks up the remains of the meal and throws them in the nearest garbage can and slowly walks back to City Hall with a full stomach. As Bubbles walks up the steps, a sonic scream hits the top of the dome to City Hall and shatters a small portion of the roof. Bubbles then back flips into the air and floats in place to avoid another scream that was directed at her.

The Mayor and Ms. Bellum run out of City Hall, right as Tessa lands in front of them to prevent Bubbles from saving them. She was now wearing the basic black under garment similar to what Bubbles and her sisters wore. The teal top had a similar neck to Bubbles' top but had sleeves down to her elbows. She had the teal skirt and the color trim on the hosiery. As for shoes she wore something similar to Blossom's shoes but without the ankle straps.

Tessa smiles cruelly and says, "I'm going to take away everyone that stupid imperfection cares about, even his friends. I'll leave the mistake in such misery that he will know exactly how I felt when I was forced to kill our parent since it's all his fault. I was going to start with the fossil, but now that I know you're here little Bubbles, I'm going to teach you what true pain really is! This will be as much fun as when I watched my parents torture that vile monster!" Tessa laughs coldly.

Bubbles grits her teeth and shouts with rising anger in her voice, "DON'T YOU DARE CALL HOLDIE ANY OF THOSE NAMES, YOU MEANIE! HE'S SUFFERED ENOUGH ABUSE BECAUSE OF WHAT YOUR PARENTS DID TO HIM!"

Tessa sneers at Bubbles and replies, "HE DESERVES TO SUFFER EVEN MORE, AFTER WHAT HE DID TO MY PARENTS! HE INFECTING THEM, WITH THAT VILE TAINT OF HIS! HE NEVER DESERVED TO BE HAPPY!"

With that Tessa spits at Bubbles. Bubbles rolls in the air to avoid the electrical energy and lunges at Tessa. She tackles Tessa into City Hall, destroying a support column to the front of the building in the process. The front of City Hall collapses and the Mayor and Ms. Bellum run down the stairs to the street below to avoid the falling debris.

Ms. Bellum rushes over to a pay phone and places a call. After a few moments she replies, "I know I should have called by using my Nancom, Computeress, but it's still in City Hall when it was attacked by Tessa. Bubbles just started fighting her and I think she might need help. Please send everyone that we can help and an email about the situation down here."

After a short interval of time passes Ms. Bellum replies, "Thank you! We'll get to a shelter at the mall."

Ms. Bellum hangs up and she pulls the Mayor with her to one of the civilian shelters that are located near them.

Inside City Hall, Bubbles and Tessa crash through the walls and land on Ms. Bellum's desk and smashing it to splinters. Bubbles stands up with a furious look in her eyes. She then flies at Tessa and jabs her in the stomach. Tessa blocks and counters with a left hook. Bubbles dodges and elbows Tessa in the face. Tessa moves to the side slightly and Bubbles grazes her face.

Tessa grabs Bubbles by the throat and smashes her into the wooden floor. Bubbles stands up, spitting small wood fragments out of mouth and then unexpectedly grabs Tessa by the legs and smashes her head first through the wall that leads to the conference room. Tessa pulls her head out of the wall along with a frame of a painting that was of a happy family. Her head was through the spot that used to have a dog in it.

Tessa smashes the frame and throws the remains of them at Bubbles. Bubbles uses her eye beams to destroy the fragments. Tessa spears Bubbles in the chest and through the door to the Mayor's Office. Tessa then kicks Bubbles in the side and laughs maliciously. Bubbles produces an energy orb and throws it at Tessa and hits her in the chest. Tessa slams through the Mayor's desk and into the shelves behind it.

A small jar of candy falls onto the floor and shatters. Tessa stands up and then starts to spin to form her Teal Tornado sucking in objects and throwing them at Bubbles, who smashes them to bits. Tessa lands on the floor, but before she can do anything Bubbles claps her hands loudly, sending a pressure wave of sound at Tessa. Tessa uses her sonic scream and cancels the other attack out.

At the same time, Bubbles and Tessa both fly at each other and punch with all their strength. Bubbles' punch lands on Tessa's right cheek while Tessa's punch is planted squarely in Bubbles' stomach. The force of the punches knocks each girl through the opposite walls of the office and out of the building. Bubbles coughs up some blood and spits some on the pavement. She flies up to see Tessa doing the same.

Tessa was wiping some blood from her cheek. Tessa then spits and ten electrical energy balls fly at Bubbles. Bubbles dodges all of the spit quickly but she didn't notice Tessa flying towards here as she does so. She then feels a thumb in the pressure point on the back of her neck and Bubbles' eyes widen in terror.

Tessa then whispers with venomous pleasure, "Now the real fun starts little Bubbles. I'm going to enjoy this immensely."

Tessa then smashes Bubbles' face into dome of City Hall repeatedly. Bruises and lacerations appear on Bubbles' face, as her face is repeatedly hammered into the roof of City Hall and causing the roof to shatter after numerous hits. Blood slowly drip from Bubbles' wounds as Tessa laughs. Tessa then grabs one of Bubbles pigtails and floats up high into the air and flings Bubbles down at the walkway in front City Hall. Bubbles smashes into the pavement.

Bubbles tries to push herself to stand up so she could get out of the small crater, but Tessa slams her elbow into Bubbles' lower back causing her to scream shrilly.

Tessa smiles broadly and comments sickly, "I'm going to enjoy causing you pain, just like how I caused pain to that moronic mistake when I told him no one would ever help him after I got done my own brand of torture. That pain is what forced him to repress everything our parents did to him!"

Tessa grabs Bubbles' right leg and starts to twist it in the wrong direction. Bubbles screams loudly, while tears run down her face. Then they hear a loud crack as Bubbles' Tibia and Fibula breaks in her lower leg and an intense scream of pain shoots out of Bubbles. Bubbles vision starts to blur, as she can barley stay conscious.

Tessa grabs Bubbles by the pigtails again and flies up into the air and throws her back down to the ground at the stair to City Hall. Bubbles smashes into the steps, feeling unbearable pain through out her body. As Bubbles loses consciousness, Boomer enters her field of vision with concern in his eyes. Then everything goes blurry and dark.

"BUBBLES WAKE UP!" Boomer screams as he watches Bubbles' eyes close.

He quickly takes her pulse and is relieved that she is still alive. Tessa lands nearby with a smile on her face but soon frowns at the sight of Boomer, who now had tears in his eyes.

"What the hell is your problem Boomer? Why do you even care what I do to her?"

Boomer then replies with his voice cracking, "I love Bubbles and I won't allow you or Fuse or anyone else to harm her!"

Boomer then flies at Tessa but is then drill kicked into the ground by Brick.

Brick steps off Boomer, picks him up by the collar and states, "If you want to fight Tessa, you go through me Boomer. Now stop this nonsense about loving Blubbers and finish her off, NOW!"

Boomer then spits in Brick's face and replies, "NO!"

Then, they hear a small rustling in the bushes and see someone in a pink sweatshirt with a tennis racket in hand, run in the direction of City Station.

Tessa smiles and replies, "Brickie, I'm going to deal with that interloper Yamamoto. I don't want anyone else to know what I'm doing!" Tessa flies off with a cruel smile on her face.

Boomer then head butts Brick, forcing Brick to let go of him. Boomer materializes his bat and hits Brick with it, sending him flying into the Morbucks saving and loans building over in the sunken mall. Brick steps out of the building, tosses his hat on the ground and flies up into the air. Boomer charges at Brick, but Brick grabs Boomer's arm and twists it.

Brick sniggers as he punches Boomer a few times before throwing him into the broken skate board ramp. Boomer stands up and he has a bleeding gash on his left arm. He uses his eye beams and hits Brick in the chest causing him to crash into the nearby Providence transport. Brick walks out from the wreckage with a bleeding forehead.

Brick flies at Boomer and bicycle kicks him over the gazebo and then uses an omega beam. Boomer uses his own omega beam to deflect Brick's beam, sending both into the nearby City Station sky scrapper. Brick zooms over and grab Boomer's left arm and twists it so hard that both the Ulna and the Radius bones break bones break with a loud snap.

Boomer screams a bit at the pain and Brick slams Boomer's head into the top of the gazebo. Boomer slowly stands holding his now limp arm and flying back into the air. Brick roundhouse kicks Boomer in the head and sends him flying over City Hall. Brick flies as fast as he can and drive kicks Boomer into the stairs next to Bubbles. His hand falls into hers as his vision slowly clouds over.

Brick lands and replies, "That will teach you not to mess with me or Tessa, Boomer. Next time do as you're…"

Brick is hit by a sonic wave forcing him to the ground. He looks behind him to see Ace, Big Billy and Snake holding their sonic instruments. Ace belts out another sonic wave causing Brick to yell in pain and he covers his ears. He then flies into the sky to get away from the deadly weapons.

Ace runs over to where Bubbles and Boomer lay and shouts into his com, "We need a medic down at City Hall now! Tell them to bring Professor Utonium!"

The person on the other end nods and hangs up. Before Ace can place another call, Buttercup hastily lands next to him.

She becomes livid at the sight of Bubbles lying motionless on the ground and she begins to cry and whispers, "Bubbles, please be alright. You have to be!"

Ace hugs her tightly and she cries into his jacket. Five minutes later, the medics arrive with the Professor and slowly load the two teen into the medical transport.

Buttercup then floats into the air a minute later and Ace replies, "Babe, where are you going?"

Buttercup looks back at him with tears in her eyes and replies, "I'm going to find Tessa and stop her so she won't hurt anymore people."

The Professor then shouts to her, "I just notified Blossom that you're going to engage Tessa in combat. She's on her way to help you fight her sweetheart. I don't want either of you to fight her alone!"

Buttercup nods and flies eastwards towards the growing dust cloud where the din of battle could be heard.
