Brick had followed the Rowdyround boys through several hallways and down three floors on the elevator, of course being there size like Boomer they too had to stop every 5 minutes to catch their breath. The boys had asked Brick if he was following them but Brick had just replied that he was just going to the same place they were going, Brick also thanked that the boys believed him. Finally they arrived at the basement Brick followed the boys through the door and quietly closed it behind him, as soon as he did however he felt all of his powers return he then looked a head and his eyes widened the entire floor of the basement had been dug down an extra 300 meters deep and had a staircase that spiralled around the inside of it all the way to the bottom.
He guessed that the Rowdyround Boys had figured out that they had their powers too because they jumped off the edge. Brick used his super vision to scout around to see if there were any traps, the only things he saw at the bottom was the tunnel that lead from underneath Lockdown to just outside of Pokey Oaks, the automatic cart, the Rowdyround Boys, and… "shit" he muttered as he saw two familiar figures: Berserk and Brute
He knew that he and Berserk were exactly equal in strength and speed with or without powers but add Brute in with the mix and he'd be ground into powder in seconds. "I've got to think of a way to get through that tunnel without them following me" he said as he watched the Rowdyround Boys get on the automatic cart and watched it roll away. He thought for a few seconds and shrugged "ah what the hell" he said before he fired multiple energy blasts at the ground and the two Punks both hitting them dead on and creating a large cloud of dust "perfect!" he exclaimed and he flew down as fast as he could and straight into the tunnel.
As he flew through the tunnel he saw the automatic cart travelling along the rail "ah what the heck" he said when he reached it he put both hands on the cart and began flying faster pushing the cart along the track while the Rowdyround Boys cheered in delight. After about 30 seconds Brick could see the end of the tunnel coming up fast so he started to slow down, when they exited the tunnel Brick found himself in a clearing in Pokey Oaks Hills "haha that was fun" Blob said with his brothers agreeing.
Brick smiled at the three boys but his smile instantly disappeared when he heard a familiar voice "hey how did you get out of Lockdown?"
he turned around and saw Scrapper glaring at him "look scrap heap I've got more important things to do so if you don't stand aside I'll blast you to bits" Brick threatened, Scrapper's only response was his robotic hand going into his arm and out cam a long blade of red energy before he flew at Brick.
Brick scowled at this and began dodging all of Scrapper's swings with ease "you're out of practice, maybe if you didn't spend years rotting in a cell you might stand a better chance against me" Brick taunted before he punched Scrapper hard in the stomach. Scrapper's energy blade instantly disappeared and his robotic hand came back out before he held his stomach in pain. Brick then swung his leg up, kicking Scrapper in the chest and sending him up into the air, Brick grinned at this and flew up like a rocket going straight passed Scrapper.
Brick then stopped and raised one arm above himself and just as Scrapper was about to go past him he brought his arm down and elbowed him hard in the back. The impact from Brick's hit sounded like thunder which was heard for miles, Brick then grabbed Scrapper by his shirt before throwing him straight down to the ground. Scrapper hit the ground with such force that the aftershock knocked all of the criminals, who had watched the fight in awe, over.
Brick then flew down even faster only he landed down on the ground gently, he then saw all of the criminals and flew around the area as fast as he could knocking all of them out. When he stopped he looked towards Scrapper and almost burst out laughing as he saw the Rowdyround Boys now poking Scrapper's unconscious form with sticks. Bulge turned to Brick "hey older me, is this guy dead?" he asked
"nah he's just unconscious, he'll be walking funny for a while but he'll be fine" Brick replied.
Brick looked down at the boys with a thoughtful look 'should I take these guys to our place or the girls place…ah what the heck, I'll take them to the girls place and once I get some things I'll drop them off at our place' he thought "okay boys you're coming with me" he said seeing as how the boys had nowhere else to go they shrugged and they began following Brick.
With Bubbles
Bubbles was now panting and wheezing as she trudged through the halls of Lockdown, she leaned against a wall to catch her breath "it's a shame beauty doesn't come without a price" she panted out before she wiped the sweat off of her forehead. She saw down the end of the hallway there was a flight of stairs that had level 4 written above it "cool I'm on level 4 and if I can remember correctly the control room is on level 5" she said happily and she began heading towards the stairs. When she reached level 5 she was completely out of breath again, once she had caught her breath she saw a sign on the wall that told her what was in which direction and on the sign she saw the words "security room" "hmm that must be another name for the control room" she said and she began heading in the direction the sign told her.
As she got closer to the control room she saw walls were destroyed and pieces of roofing had come off "wow what the heck happened here?" she asked, she then heard footsteps and instantly readied herself encase it was an enemy. The footsteps got closer and closer until a figure appeared around a corner, Bubbles face instantly lit up as she saw the figure "mum!" she exclaimed and she bolted towards her mum. Just as she was about to embrace her mum in a loving hug she was punched in the face, kicked in the stomach and elbowed in the back sending her to the floor.
When she looked up at her mother in shock at what she had just done to her a look of rage came over Bubbles' face as she saw the ring around her mums head "those bastards" she said angrily before her mum kicked her in the side, Bubbles ignored the pain and quickly got up ready to fight. After a few blocks and punches Bubbles began to tire which resulted in Sarah basically beating her senseless. Bubbles was now stumbling around after receiving her 20th punch to the face, as Sarah launched her fist forward intending on making a finishing blow Bubbles amazingly caught her by her wrist.
Sarah was slightly stunned by this but was just enough time to allow Bubbles to wrap her arms around her mum "I'm sorry about this" she said as she reared her head back and brought it forward, headbutting her mum. Bubbles saw the red orb on the mind control ring was slightly cracked "I'm going to have one hell of a headache after this" she muttered and she began repeatedly headbutting her mum. Due to the ring taking nearly all of the impacts from the hits Sarah was almost completely fine, Bubbles however was now barely conscious, with one final hit the red orb shattered and the ring crumbled while at the same time Bubbles let go of her mum and fell to the floor unconscious.
Sarah stumbled back a bit before falling over and landing on her butt "get away from me you…wait how did I get here, ow my head" Sarah said in a confused state. Once she gained her bearings she realised that instead of being tied to a chair she was now in a partly destroyed hallway. She then noticed the familiar form of her 'larger' daughter lying on the ground "BUBBLES!" she yelled and she rushed over to her daughter and saw some blood coming from her forehead. After checking for vitals and the bleeding spot on Bubbles' forehead Sarah gave a sigh of relief as she realised that her daughter was just unconscious and the blood was coming from were some skin on her forehead had split.
"phew that's a relief, I should wake her up, Bubbles dinner time" Sarah said
Bubbles' eyes snapped open and she shot up "yay food!" Bubbles exclaimed before she realised where she was
"sorry sweetie no food" Sarah said, Bubbles saw that the ring on her mums head was gone
"mum!" she exclaimed and the two embraced in a big hug. When they let go Sarah helped her hefty daughter up
"honey do you know what happened here?" she asked Bubbles then told her what she knew. When she finished Sarah was in tears knowing what she had done to her daughter, she hugged Bubbles tightly while spewing out apologies, even though Bubbles explained that it wasn't her fault she still blamed herself.
Once Sarah calmed down Bubbles continued "do you know where dad and the others are?" she asked
"hmm before Bause put that ring on my head I heard one of the Powerpunch Girls say they were taking the others to the roof" Sarah explained.
Bubbles looked down the hall and saw a sign that said security room "perfect come on mum, we're gonna put an end to this madness" Bubbles said and she ran/waddled down the hall with her mum following her. When they reached the security room they saw large control panels that had about a million flashing buttons on them and screens completely covered all of the walls "okay so what deactivates the Power Elimination Field?" Bubbles asked
"just look at the control panel and see if there's a switch or something that controls it" Sarah replied the two searched the whole control panel until Bubbles found a lever that had the words Power Elimination Field
Bubbles saw that it was currently set to max "it's time to end this" she said as she grabbed the lever and pulled it all the way down to off.
Sarah turned to face Bubbles as the sound of an engine winding down was heard Bubbles turned to her mum with a big grin and she floated up "ah that is so much better" Bubbles said
"okay sweetie let's go and save your father and the others" Sarah said and she began heading out of the room
"just a sec" Bubbles said before she ploughed her hand into the control panel before unleashing an energy blast that blew up the whole control panel and blew out the screens of the TV's. Bubbles walked out off the room while brushing debris off of her clothes and hair, she looked at her mum and smiled "just encase" she said with a slight giggle "now let's get out of here" she finished Bubbles then fired an energy blast up, making a hole that went straight through level six and through the roof, she then grabbed her mum and flew up through the hole she made until she reached the roof.
