Ok I had a little accident and deleted the next chapter of PPGZ: Overdrive, but at least not this chapter at least, so here you go.

please read and review and tell me whatcha think?


Buttercup's POV

"FANG! Where are ya you little fuzz ball?" I was starting to really worry...what if someone grabbed him. I couldn't...I don't want that...If anyone hurts them...they're dead. The city was beautiful, I just wish I wasn't worried out of my mind.

Nothing...I can't believe it...nothing...Where could that little guy go. I ran onto a bridge, the wind was blowing like crazy...but...the sight was amazing...clouds so close you could almost touched them...but no getting distracted now.

"Fang...Fang...c'mon Fang, no time for hide and seek...c'mon you little fuzz ball." I just started to yell now, the wind was blowing so harsh now, my jacket just flew open. My necklace was glowing...it was actually tugging at my neck. I tried to hide it under my jacket but just pulled itself out...I hid it underneath my hands as it pulled me right towards...this weird building...people were dancing.

"In this kind of weather?"

"Didn't you hear? Our crystal...it's came back to life." A man cheered, "The temple sages called it a miracle...our city will be safe!"

"Huh? What crystal?"

"Well...for a long-"

I heard a familiar screech. My heart stopped.

"Fang?" I saw him...he was at the building's entrance. I ran right through the crowd and towards the temple, I was about to grab him but he just ran deeper in and I followed in. The inside...it felt like a maze, the hallways were dark, and there was green writing on the walls...I started to hear this weird singing.

I was suddenly knocked to the ground by a fuzz ball, he purred, rubbing against my face, "Oh there you are. We really should get out of here." I got back up, that's when I had this familiar voice.

"Oh finally, another person, excuse me sir but I'm-"

I turned around furious but...I froze...there was this light blonde girl with blue streaks in her hair. She had these long pigtails all the way down to her hips, her skin was super pale, and her eyes were as blue as the sky. She wore pink lipstick, she was wearing this light blue tube top, a long darker blue dress that basically covered her right leg completely but exposed her left leg past the thigh. The design on it were snowflakes, she had long arm sleeves and white slippers. Once again, just like the Bubbles back at home, she was drop dead gorgeous.

"Bubbles?"

"Huh? How did you know...that's my nickname, have we met before or something?"

"Uh...You don't know...never mind," I looked at the ground sadly, I forgot it wasn't her, not my best friend, first Butch and now Bubbles...whole else...Blossom...Fuzzy...Mojo...please don't tell me another Buttercup. Tears started to flow out of me, this was torture...seeing people who look like your friends but they don't know you.

I shook my head, snapping out of my train of thought when she touched my shoulder, she hand was icy cold.

"You ok," She suddenly squealed in delight her eyes sparkling, "WHAT A CUTIE?" She grabs Fang and started spinning around with him, "JUST LOOK AT THOSE ADORABLE BIG WHITE PAWS, THE WHITE BELLY! AND THOSE BIG EYES EYES! YOU'RE CUTER THAN UMI!"'She hugged him and she turned around to me, "Oh I'm sorry, My name is Aurora but my friends call me Bubbles, because of me being so Bubbly I guess."

"Buttercup."

"What an adorable name! I can tell you're a good person...oh yes. By the way...do you know how to get out of here?" She patted Fang but he wasn't enjoying it, in fact he squeezed out of her grasp and ran away.

"Hey! Fang! Come back!" I ran after him.


Xaldin's (Butch's) POV

Damn it, damn her

Sebastian came into the room with me, but it was empty...the door didn't look like it was broken in either.

"One room with this girl, you dog and with a so called goddess. You certainly stepped up your game." Sebastian elbowed me.

"It's not like that! I should have known she wouldn't listen...she is the most infuriating...No one has ever pissed me off as much as she has...we gotta find her...so I can kill her myself." My mind was racing, I could barely think. Why? Why? My mind flashed to that kiss on the forehead.

"Calm down...damn...You must be really worried." He said but then gasped, "Butch, look."

I turned around to see him at the door, there was slime...barely visible but slime underneath and on the door handle from the inside.

"What could have left this?" I asked.

"Umi leaves this around all the time, they ooze it to squeeze through right spaces. Serpentines, mostly liking."

"Beast kin? No way in hell. There's no way they would try to snatch her up...somebody would have seen something."

"You don't know about Serpents, bro. They like to lure their prey out, they're probably gonna snatch her up the minute she's alone."

"She may be crazy but...she's..." I slapped my head, "Fang."

Just as I was about to walk out, I heard this meowing and then a hiss. Fang came right from under the bed, yawning...and gave me another hiss.

Sebastian kneeled down, "Oh, is this Fang? He's kinda cute." He patted Fang, who purred but he just growled at me.

"Wait...if he's here...then what could...damn it...we've gotta find her and now." I just grabbed her bag, because Fang just jumped in it and there's no way in hell I'm grabbing that little demon. I ran back down stairs, where my men were waiting.

"Spilt up, she couldn't have gone far."

Scott asked, "Wait, Butch, boss...What does she look like?"

"She's the chick who neuter you with a kick at the Festival." I snapped, "Now go!"

"No Shit! Her!"Scott shivered in fear, "I still can't sit right!"
