It was now 5pm and the Puffs and Ruffs were in the lounge room watching TV, as they were happily enjoying the show the screen began to go grainy "huh? Did your dad forget to pay the foxtel bill again?" Butch asked before the screen cleared up to reveal a teenager who looked a lot like Brick only way more muscular.
The teenager smirked "good evening Townsville, Bause here along with my brothers Biff and Budder and our lovely girlfriends" he said as Brazen sat on his lap the puff's and ruff's mouths dropped at this. "We're now in control of Lockdown Asylum and you can all consider it out of bounds except for your beloved superhero's Powerpuff Girls and Rowdyruff Boys! If we see any anyone else besides them trying to get in we'll start detonating random bombs we've placed all around the city. What'll it be? A kindergarten? A hospital? A super heroes house? oh, choices, choices, choices... oh and for the two teams I just mentioned encase your thinking that were trapped in here and you have no reason to try and stop us, think again" Bause said Blitz then turned the camera around to show The Professor, Sara, Mayor Bellum, and Chief Jackson tied to chairs "we decided to get a little insurance and if you cant save them by 9oclock to night we'll let Brash have some fun with them, and with her who knows what she's going to do, the clock is ticking" Bause finished they then all laughed and the screen went back to normal.
The puffs and ruffs were still in shock at what they had just seen, Brick was the first to snap out of it "how are those three alive, I saw them break down into their components with my own eyes" he said
"who cares how they're alive we have to save everyone they captured quick!" Blossom exclaimed and they all flew off, not even thinking that it could be a trap.
As the Powerpuff Girls and Rowdyruff Boys flew towards Lockdown determined to save The Professor, Sara, Mayor Bellum, and Chief Jackson Boomer started to remember why no one regardless of who they were had escaped Lockdown. Boomer stopped and was about to call out to the others but it was too late they all went through the Elimination Field and dropped like flies. Boomer winced as he heard the thuds as he heard them hit the ground, he headed over to the wall and slowly floated down, he then felt a rush as he went through the field and landed on his feet with a thud. As he walked over to the others he started to get winded very quickly "wow I've never realised how heavy I am" he said, due to his super strength his massive bulk didn't really get to him at all, but now that his powers were disabled he now felt like the gravity around him had increased 10x.
The Puffs and Ruffs groaned a bit as they stood up "and why didn't we remember that?" Butch asked as he rubbed his head
"well this just made things a lot harder" Brick grumbled
"don't worry guys I know the layout of this place like the back of my hand" Blossom said confidently "we'll rescue everyone and be out of here in an hour tops, now lets go" Blossom said and they all began heading towards the front entrance to Lockdown which was surprisingly open.
As soon as they entered Lockdown the doors shut tightly behind them and the lights above them shone brightly, they looked ahead and saw Brash standing at the entrance to the criminal drop off area "welcome to the madhouse! we set a trap and you sprang it gloriously! Now let's get this party started!" Brash declared and before any of the puffs or ruffs could do anything a hole open up underneath them (except for Blossom) and they fell down into the darkness before sealing up again.
Blossom looked at Brash and scowled "what did you do to them!" she demanded
Brash just laughed as she slowly walked back with the electric gate activating in front of her "that's for me to know and you to find out" she said as the electric field gates to the car park deactivated and three men wearing prison uniforms came out with eager looks on their faces.
"You're failing to look at the big picture Bloss; you're powerless and trapped in a building where everyone wants to kill you" Brash said as the criminals charged at her. Blossom gulped as she realised this before she was punched in the face "ow that's gotta hurt" Brash said. Blossom dodged several more hits and managed to dish out a few of her own, she then grabbed one of the man's hands and swung him to the side making him and one of the other men bang heads, knocking them out. Blossom turned and saw the last man charging towards her, she quickly moved to the side avoiding the man who couldn't stop in time and crashed into one of the electric field gates. The man was shocked with 150 volts of electricity for about 7 seconds before he fell back, now unconscious, Blossom gave a triumphant look at this.
"ha we're just warming you up pinkie" Brash said as the electric field to the loading bay dropped and 3 more men came out "ding, ding, ding it's round 2!" Brash declared and the men charged at Blossom. Blossom then ran at the men with both arms reared back and when she was close enough she punched two of the men in the crotch and headbutted the third in the chest causing them to fall to the ground in pain. Blossom then grabbed the two men she punched by their hair and lifted their heads up a bit before slamming them down on the hard steel floor, knocking them out. Blossom was then pulled back roughly by her long pony tail and punched in the face by the third man, causing her to fall to the ground. The man then stomped on her stomach 3 times and as he went to do it a fourth time she managed to grab his foot and with one hard twist she heard a loud snap.
The man howled in pain and stumbled back before tripping and landing on his butt, the last thing he saw was Blossom's foot headed for his face. Blossom was now slightly winded and in a lot of pain, she glared at Brash while wiping some blood off of her mouth, Brash however was just grinning while slowly clapping "congratulations Blossy you managed to beat them all, but the night is still young and there's still lots of work to be done" Brash said as she slowly walked back.
Blossom's scowl deepened "If you think I'll let you get..."
"Blah, blah, blah! Always with the hero speak! I'm getting bored of watching you. Why don't you just come find me, toodles" Brash finished and she skipped off down the road until she was out of Blossom's sight
"damn it" Blossom growled out angrily. Blossom then began looked at her two options she could either go to the Loading Bay or the Car Park, she then began trying to remember which was the fastest way to get to the control room which would show her where her parents, Mayor Bellum and Chief Jackson were. "Ah I know I'll head to the Car Park because it has an elevator there plus there could be something in the cars that I could use to defend myself with" she said and began heading down the road that lead to the Car Park.
With Brick
Brick had travelled down a long tube that twisted and turned until he finally came out and landed in the boiler room "okay where the hell am I?" he asked as he looked around, the room he was in was very hot and the sound of steam hissing echoed around the room.
"You are now in your final resting place my son" a creepy familiar voice said Brick looked up and saw his ex-father Him sitting on top of one of the main boilers.
Brick scowled as Him hopped off of the boiler and landed in front of him "I'm not your son anymore creep" Brick snapped before Him grabbed Brick by the neck and squeezed tightly
"you little whelp, I'm am going to end your life right here and now!" Him roared angrily and just as he was about to decapitate Brick, Brick kicked him in the leg making him let go of him.
As Him held his leg in pain Brick spun around and punched Him in the side of the head causing him to stumble before falling over "with or without your powers your still weak" Brick spat before he was hit in the back by something very hard. He groaned in pain and turned around to see a large group of prisoners and guards holding some kind of weapon ranging from wrenches to guns.
Him stood back up and laughed evilly "as you can see I've got a little help" he said as one of the guards swung his gun at Brick which he managed to dodge
"why the hell did the guards side with you?!" Brick demanded as the prisoners and guards continued swinging their weapons at Brick with a lot of them making contact
"that's for me to know and you to find out" Him said as he saw his ex-son being badly beaten up.
As a guard was about to crack Bricks skull open with a large wrench Brick managed to grab it and pulled it out of the guards grip before smacking him in the face with it. Brick quickly got up and blocked a criminal's gun with the wrench before kicking the criminal in the knee, hearing a loud snap. The man screamed in pain and fell to the ground, Brick then quickly grabbed the mans gun and began using both it and the wrench to defend and attack. After a minute Brick had ether managed to knock out or disable his attackers "now its your…" Brick paused as he saw that Him was now gone "coward" he muttered before falling to his knees exhausted.
'there is no way in hell I'll be able to do this kind of thing again' he thought to himself as he just realised how badly hurt he now was he then looked at one of the guards and smirked as he got an idea. He stumbled a bit over to the unconscious guard and started to remove his armour, as he took off the guards helmet he saw that the guard was wearing a ring almost exactly the same as the one he was forced to wear years ago by the Brawnybuff Boys and Powerpunch Girls. Brick scowled at this "so that's why the guards sided with Him" Brick said as he put the guards helmet on his head before using the wrench to break the red orb on the ring which caused the ring to crumble.
Brick did this to every guard as well as taking a piece of their armour and putting it on himself until every guard was free from the mind control rings. Brick looked at himself and smiled "there now I'll have a better chance in this madhouse" he said happily before trying to find the way out of the boiler room. He was still hurt from the fight he had just had but he decided to just walk the pain off instead of waiting for the pain to stop. He quickly found some stairs and exited the boiler room now determined to find the others and put an end to the Brawnybuff Boys for good.
