I don't own fusionfall Part 3 of 5 of Downtown Brawl arc

Chapter 49: Downtown Brawl: Part 3: Fighting Back

Tessa turns around and grins from ear to ear as Buttercup lands in front of her. Buttercup's eyes were all red and puffy from her recent crying and her fists are shaking.

Buttercup glowers at Tessa and replies angrily, "I'm going to put a stop to your destructive rampage Tessa. I won't allow you to hurt anymore of my friends and I won't allow you to hurt anyone else that I love!"

Tessa laughs and replies with venom in her voice, "Then prove you can stop me from hurting anyone else. I'd love to see you try!"

Tessa then launches a flurry of uppercuts at Buttercup. Buttercup blocks the blows and counters with a knee to Tessa's stomach. Tessa grabs Buttercup's leg and throws her into the air. Buttercup flips once and then regains control just as Tessa crescent kicks in the stomach.

The force of the kick causes Buttercup to smash into the kitchen of Dexter's house on top of Dexlabs. Dexter's parents just happen to be in the kitchen when Buttercup smashes through the wall and pots and pans fall to the floor.

Dexter's mother walks over hurriedly and helps Buttercup stand up and replies, "Buttercup would you like a cookie?"

Buttercup lifts a cooking pot off her head and replies, "No thanks Mrs. McPherson."

Buttercup flies out of the hole and back into the sky to face off against Tessa. Buttercup uses her eye beams and Tessa dodges but Buttercup intercepts and punches her twice in the face and then kicks her three times in the gut before performing a right cross combination.

Tessa blocks the punches and performs a few of her own but Buttercup pushes the blows to the side. The two girls become locked in stalemate, slowly flying south east toward the volcano.

Buttercup punches Tessa's right shoulder and then round house kicks her into Mojo's volcano observatory and into his mirror tiled bathroom. Tessa grabs a one of the tiles as Buttercup uses her eye beams. The beams hit the mirror and then rebounds back at Buttercup.

Buttercup dodges, but her cheek is then hit by a tile that was thrown by Tessa. Tessa floats out of the observatory and throws seven more tiles at Buttercup. Buttercup screams and the tiles fall to pieces before they can reach her. Tessa is panting and some blood is running down her arm. Buttercup was also panting and blood was seeping from her cheek.

Tessa then comments with some relish in her voice and a sadistic smile on her face, "This is the kind of fight I've been waiting for all evening! I'm going to enjoy crushing you even more than I thought I was going to!"

Tessa grabs Mojo's telescope and yanks it out of the building, destroying most of the observatory. She then swings it at Buttercup with all her might. Buttercup smashes the end of it, sending the debris raining down on Mojo, who happened to be returning home from doing something important in Orchid Bay.

Mojo looks up at Tessa and screams, "CURSES! My Telescope! You have ruined what is mine and not your, since it clearly came from my domicile."

Mojo procures from under his cape one of his laser rifles and shots at Tessa, who then dodges. Tessa scowls at the monkey and throws the remains of the telescope at Mojo.

I'm really going to regret doing this, Buttercup thinks as she dives down and destroys the remains of the telescope just before they hit Mojo.

She looks over her shoulder and comments, "You owe me Mojo. You best not forget this." Mojo's jaw drops and is speechless.

Buttercup flies back up into the sky and Tessa spits electrical energy at her. Buttercup rubs her hands together really fast and from the friction creates a ball of fire and throws it. The two objects collide pushing the two girls apart. Both girls then charge at each other and Tessa punches.

Buttercup grabs her wrist with one hand and jabs her index finger with the other hand into the pressure point on Tessa's right hand. Buttercup starts to apply more pressure on Tessa's wrist and Tessa feels it starting to break. Tessa in blind desperation slams her palm into Buttercup's right shoulder and dislocates it.

Buttercup howls in pain as she lets go of Tessa's wrist. Tessa then axel kicks Buttercup in the dislocated shoulder and she is sent flying towards City Station and the ground.

Buttercup hits the pavement and bounces a few times, finally landing on her injured shoulder.

"Damn it! I should have been more careful. I left my self open."

Buttercup gets up clutching her arm, when she spots a pink trail of light coming in her direction.

Blossom lands next to Buttercup and replies, "I thought the Professor told you to wait for me to get here so we could fight Tessa together."

Buttercup then replies, "He did and I know I should have waited Red, but I had to do something to protect the people that she had just hurt."

Blossom frowns and says, "Now you're hurt because you didn't listen."

Buttercup responds, "She's hurt too! I think I might have fractured her wrist. With you here we can fight her together now, Blossom."

Blossom shakes her head and replies, "I'll handle her Buttercup. You go the hospital and get that shoulder set back in its proper place."

Before Buttercup can say anything else, Tessa lands near them with a murderous look in her eyes and she then states, "I'm going to make you suffer for breaking my wrist Bittercup! You will be the first and last person who ever injuries me!"

Blossom steps in front of Buttercup and replies calmly, "Buttercup isn't going to fight you in her condition. You just have to settle for fighting me Tessa."

Tessa smiles cruelly and replies "Have it your way then. I'll just have to kill you first, and then I'll finish off Bittercup and little Bubbles afterward."

Tessa floats back into the air, laughing. Buttercup puts her hand on Blossom's shoulder.

Blossom looks back at her and smiles and replies, "I'll be fine Buttercup. Go to the hospital and check on Bubbles."

Buttercup shakes her head and replies, "I'm sticking around incase you need my help. My shoulder can wait til after Tessa is taken care of."

Blossom nods and flies into the air towards Tessa.

Tessa turns around as Blossom flies up to face her and replies, "Took you long enough to get up here Blossmer. I was getting bored not having anyone to fight with. I'll make sure that when I kill you, it will be in front of that damn imperfection you love so much." Tessa laughs and then uses her super breath.

The damaged top of City Station dislodges from the rest of the building and hurls towards Blossom. Blossom soars to the right and grabs a corner of the building as it passes by. Blossom, noticing Tessa approaching to attack her, throws the piece of the building to the southwest towards the small inlet near Marquee Row.

Blossom uses her knee to block Tessa's punch a second later. Blossom then knees Tessa in the stomach making her double over, gasping for breath. Blossom grabs Tessa's head and back flips in the air and tosses her into the now abandoned S.C.A.M.P.E.R. that was in the center of the of the City Station platform and deep into the building.

Tessa floats up through the hole and spits some blood out of her mouth. She flies back up towards Blossom and shots her eye beams at her. Blossom counters with her own eye beams and then kicks at Tessa. Tessa grabs Blossom by the ankle and starts to apply pressure to it when, Blossom pivots slightly and kicks Tessa in the face with her other foot.

Tessa releases her hold on Blossom's ankle as blood gushes from her now broken nose. Blossom winces from the slight pain of her sprained ankle. Tessa glowers at Blossom and then loops upwards and then comes down in a diving kick. Blossom breaths out a thin stream of ice that hits Tessa's foot and weights her down enough that she misses and hits the side of City Station.

Tessa hits the ice off her foot and lifts back into the air and out of the building. Blossom uses a sonic scream but Tessa dodges and counters with her own scream. Blossom then flies full speed at Tessa and jabs at her. Blossom's eye widen as Tessa uses her electrical spit at the last moment.

Blossom, unable to dodge the electrical spit is hit in the chest. The electrical shock courses through her body causing her to stop breathing and causes her heart to stop beating. Blossom falls to ground in front of City Station with a loud bang.
