Not long afterwards, my brothers and I were hanging onto the Puffs as we flew towards the Port to find the building. The man had used Antidote X on us, so we couldn't fly or fight. It sucked, in simple terms. The sky was a dark blue and I questioned how long we were out cold.
The ride was quick, and soon we were floating over the buildings by the port.
"Which one?" Blossom asked. She looked down to Brick, who was hanging onto her hand.
"That one." Brick said, pointing to the building.
"Are you sure?" Bubbles asked.
"Yep, that's it." I confirmed for the girl Boomer was holding onto. Bubbles nodded at me and then to her sisters.
"Well, let's go." Buttercup said, and they flew towards the roof. They stared at the hole in the middle of the roof when we landed.
"What do we do about them?" Bubbles asked, referring to my brothers and I.
"We'll leave them here. Their powers shouldn't come back for a few more hours and if they tried to escape and jump off the roof, they'd die." Blossom said.
"Splat!" Buttercup cackled and Boomer paled.
"Shut up Buttercup." Blossom rolled her eyes.
"Let's just go." Bubbles said.
They turned towards the hole and jumped through.
I looked at my brothers. Boomer shrugged and Brick sighed.
"We should just-" Brick started, but was cut off by a loud crash from the floor below us.
"What the-" I started, but I was interrupted by a shout.
"Should we see what's going on?" Boomer asked.
"Fine." Brick sighed.
"How are we going to get down there?" I asked.
"There's a staircase right there. They didn't even notice it." Boomer pointed to a door in the corner and Brick rolled his eyes.
We ran towards the door which revealed a set of stairs, and ran down them to the top floor. Boomer opened the door and I widened my eyes.
The room was cleared of all furniture and everything else I remembered being there. The computers were gone, with filing cabinets and desks gone as well. Not only that, but Blossom and Buttercup were lying on the floor, bleeding and bruised. Bubbles was fighting the guy from before and I took a deep breath at the sight of him. My pride hurt, as egotistical as that sounded, but it was true.
Nobody had ever taken me or my brothers down. Especially not that quickly.
Bubbles was pretty scratched up, but it was nothing compared to her sisters. She was handling herself pretty damn well, if you ask me. She was doing better than I did which damaged whatever that was left of my pride.
They didn't seem to notice us as they continued to fight hand to hand.
Suddenly he punched her in the face and spun her around, twisting her arms behind her back in a painful way and pushing her against the wall.
Her head hit the hard wall and she groaned in pain.
"Save the groaning for later, babe." he said lowly, his head getting closer to her.
Bubbles' eyes darkened dangerously and she elbowed him in the gut, pushing him off of her. Before he could react, she blasted him with an energy orb and he went flying towards the other wall. "Don't call me that." She snapped.
Bubbles sent several other blasts to him, forcing him to stay on the ground.
Her eyes glowed a strange, unidentifiable color, and I stared. What the hell was going on?
Bubbles stopped for a few moments, catching her breath.
"Stupid energy blasts." She huffed.
"Still trying to figure out the ropes?" The guy chuckled, getting up.
He was hit with another energy blast, but it didn't come from Bubbles. I looked and saw Buttercup and Blossom glowering. Boomer and Brick were glaring at the guy. We surrounded him. There was no way out.
"Give up, you're surrounded." Brick barked.
The guy smirked and looked at the three of us as he backed away towards the wall.
"Teaming up with the counterparts, eh girls?" the guy looked amused, and I didn't like it. He took a step towards me and Bubbles immediately moved closer to me. She wasn't directly next to me, but instead of several feet in between us, it was merely a few feet.
The guy raised his head and his face was blank. He looked conflicted and he looked at the girls.
"I see… Hm, well it would be a shame... if something were to happen to them."
"You wouldn't." Bubbles said, her face showing a mix of confusion and surprise.
"They're not even your priority. They don't have anything to do with this." Blossom looked at him strangely. "They're useless to you. Why would you drag them into this?"
"That, Blossom, is where you're wrong." He gave her a scheming smirk and winked at Bubbles. "See you girls around."
He stepped away and jumped backwards into the window, hurdling into the glass and falling towards the pavement.
Bubbles immediately lunged towards the window, but Buttercup beat her to it and stopped her. Bubbles was trembling and shaking violently
"Don't." Buttercup said, and Bubbles scowled. "You don't wanna… y'know."
Bubbles gulped and nodded, slowly stopping the shaking.
"All right." Bubbles said, her voice shaky. "What do we do now?"
"We can't do anything before you calm down." Blossom said.
"I'm trying!" Bubbles snapped, but she still shook uncontrollably, and her voice was trembling.
"Is she… are you ok?" I asked, slowly approaching her.
She whipped around to face me, staring at me for a moment.
"I-I…" Bubbles took breaths and slowly stopped shaking as much."I'm fine, ok? I just… that bastard gets on my nerves." She smiled crookedly as we laughed.
She smiled at me and her shaking stopped.
"It's getting late." Blossom said, and I looked out the window to realize that the sky was darker blue than before.
"But it's Friday night." Buttercup whined and Blossom sighed.
"We have to get some food before going home and figuring… this," she waved her hands around. "Out."
"Good I'm starving." Boomer said.
"You're buying us food, right?" Brick asked. "By the looks of things, seems like we're going to be… allies. Might as well get us some food."
The girls looked at each other and Blossom nodded. "We need to… discuss things."
"Discuss what?" Boomer asked.
"Everything." Bubbles said.
"Let's go."
