Hey , I had Writer's block last chapter , which sucked ! But I didn't this chapter so woo. I'm not going to have the Love Confessions anytime soon , I have to build the story up to that moment . Sorry guys I know you guys are dying to see them get together , I am too. It'll just take time so bare with me , and enjoy.
It was settling down to night , as the carnival lights twinkled on paving the way for the customers. The girls were with the Jojo boys , Bubbles was wiping ice - cream on Boomer's nose , while Boomer laughed and shoved some on Butch's cheek. Who glared at his brother wiping the dessert off his face , Brick used the ice-cream cones as horns , and began mimicking a bull. Blossom laughed while using her napkin as a cloth. Laughter filled Buttercup's ear as she pulled a strand of her raven hair behind her ear. While staring at the little moment they had , she closed her eyes taking it in as though it's getting absorbed into her mind. "I want to stay like this..." she whispered , knowing that time waits for no one , and it saddened her . She opened her eyes abruptly from feeling something extremely cold on her nose , looking down it was ice - cream. She looked at the culprit noticing Butch grinning back at her , "Hey you look better like that" Brick snickered. Bubbles giggled and handed her sister a napkin , Buttercup took it wiping the junk food off. "Aww come on Buttercup chin up" Blossom pouted "yeah turn that frown upside down " Boomer joined. Buttercup looked down at her shoes , wanting to scream at them for some reason it was building in her gut ready to explode.
She clenched her fist and was ready to say something , till there was a loud explosion in front of her. Her sisters and the Jojo brothers engulfed in flames , as Buttercup was launched into a booth. It collapsed under her weight the wooden planks stabbing her , and scratching her exposed skin. She sat up coughing plush dolls and papers fluttering in the night sky. Buttercup sat up seeing blood spill from the pile underneath her , she rolled off the wooden heap. Yanking a large splintered shard of wood out of her arm , yelping as she chucked it to the ground. People were running and screaming this reminded her of school , as the civilians pushed out of one exit. Buttercup felt something eerie seep around her ankles , she turned her head seeing piercing red eyes. As the black creature clamped around her waist with large black claws. It yanked her up to it face , and grinned the teeth pearly white in the dark , sharp like razors . Buttercup tried to push herself out it's grip , "Escaping is futile..." it spoke and clamped down on her. She hollered in pain as it felt like she was being snapped in half , then the gut clenching ceased. Buttercup grew limp as blood ran down her leg and soaked her sweater. Buttercup could see the people break free , and looked at her sisters and the Jojo brothers. Her eyes fixed on Butch she reached out for him , blood ran down her arm "Help me..." she though . " Ah...No one can help you my dear" the creature spoke with it's gentle feminine voice , then began walking towards the exit. Buttercup felt her vision getting blurry , as she blinked and sat up looking at the creature. It was a large demon shaped creature , with crab like armor covering it's whole body. It wore a shredded cloak around it's neck , that blew gracefully with each step , it didn't see behind him.
For if it had , the creature would've noticed the large green blast . That went through it's chest with a flash , it hit and sent it toppling over with a howl. Buttercup closed her eyes awaiting impact and it never came , the monster didn't plummet to the ground. It was hunched over then it stood up and stared at where the blast came from . Butch glared at it then spat out blood , Blossom and the others stood behind him "I hope you didn't think it was going to be that easy " Brick snickered , their eyes glowing with aura . The monster grinned " Oh course not" it opened it's mouth and shot a black blast. They jumped out the way , the blast splashed and sloshed black goop everywhere. "Aghh it's the same stuff from the creatures and that blimp" Boomer cried , wiping the stuff off frantically. Bubbles followed suit , as the goop ate away at the cement leaving a large hole. Blossom looked at the creature and took out her chain , " That thing is going to eat away at that" Brick said . Blossom gripped the chain harder " Just get Buttercup out the way I know what I'm doing" she reassured , Brick wiggled his nose at her. " Welp , you heard her get moving" he hollered. Boomer and Bubbles nodded along with Butch as they bolted to the beast , who was waiting patiently. Brick tried to kick it's head but it turned it's head and shot light out it's eyes , Brick covered his face and was smacked away by it's claw. Boomer landed a hit on it's stomach , but when he tried to pull his hand back it was stuck , he looked and noticed it was covered in black goo. He tried to get free Butch grabbed Boomer's shoulders and tried to fly him out the trap. "Hey..what's that wheezing sound" Boomer asked , Butch stopped for a second . They looked at the goo and it shot them out , Butch and Boomer splattered to the ground , Boomer stood up with Butch. " Awww man..." Butch sighed , Boomer sniffed the gunk and gagged.
Bubbles took out her blades and began spinning in circles trying to slice at the hard crustacean skin. One of her blades began to wedge into the skin , she stopped and placed her feet on either side , trying to take the blade out. The monster looked at her she forgot about the blade and tossed her other blade at its face , it went through the side of its head. Taking out a chunk she grinned , black goop shot out it's wound and fell on its shoulder. It looked at Bubbles not affected by the hit and fired a power blast out it's mouth. Bubbles felt it hit her chest , knocking the air out of her as she hit the carnival's sign. Brick tried to pry Buttercup from its hand , it felt the desperation . And turned its focus to Brick it lifted up it's claw , and ran it through a building letting go of Buttercup , she flew into a closed laundry shop. Buttercup tumbled into the plastic bag , blood splattered the white walls. She sunk down to the ground leaning on a metal stool . Brick smacked his head against a metal post inside a office building , he pulled the pile out and flew out forgetting all about Buttercup. He whacked the beast , while Boomer and Butch wrapped the monster up with it's own cloak. Bubbles held her back and looked at Blossom " Buttercup's not there" Blossom waved Bubbles over " Bubs make some orbs and when I say go you toss them in my chain"Blossom ordered. Bubbles blinked slightly confused , and just made orbs "Make them as strong as you can" , "Okay Blossy" she formed an orb with her hands , it was a piercing light blue. Smoke wrapped around it , Blossom began to spin her chain , at her side , it was slow at first then it began to pick up speed making a high-pitched squeal. "Now" Blossom hollered , the monster was completely tied stumbling around and flexing to break free.
Bubbles tossed an orb into the chain , creating an aura spitting catapult . The orbs shot out like bullets , firing into the beast it crushed it's shell with ease. They fired one after another , leaving multiple holes in it's victim. The last orb fired through its head , it fell back the only thing to catch it was a demolished building. It groaned "Not bad Pinky" Brick screamed to her , Blossom slid down to her knees while breathing heavy. "Yeah , way to go Blossy!" Bubbles chimed Boomer smiled " That was really cool" , "i - it was nothing" Blossom huffed , trying to catch her breath. The monster began to sizzle and bubble turning into black ooze , then dissolved into dust that blew away into the night air. "I assume whoever made the blimp monsters made that thing" Butch pointed , Blossom nodded "I .. I was thinking the same thing.." .
Buttercup found the strength to stand up , using a counter her hand shook. As she bled over the paper work left on the counter , she hobbled to the front door , " I need to hurry I've already lost to much blood " she thought before reaching the door , it felt so far away. Her hand stretched out yet it never touched the awaiting glass , then she noticed the back of a person , they were wearing the same thing she was. Her eyebrows furrowed drowsily the figure turned and looked at her. "W-what's going on here" she mumbled , "Ohh how do you like my replacement of you ?" a feminine voice smiled , she turned and noticed the same sharp white teeth , a claw clamped down on Buttercup's shoulder. The copycat turned to look at Buttercup and for a second it smiled the same wicked smile its eyes a , viscous yellow. "Now Buttercup let's go have some fun..." the voice whispered Buttercup was dragged further away from the exit , the copy cat waved while Buttercup began to sink into darkness.
"Buttercup ? Anyone seen her ?" Butch asked frantically looking around hoping she wasn't under the ruble . "I thought you guys grabbed her !" Blossom hollered at them , "I - I thought we did ..I didn't see her " Bubbles spoke sheepishly , and began looking under the wreckage. " Buttercup!" Brick yelled "I'm here" they heard a voice reply , "Buttercup!" her sisters screamed and flew to her. "Woah careful trying to kill me.." she grinned holding her arm "What happened to you ?" Brick asked rubbing his red messy hair , "well when the claw went through the building I fell into a laundry mat" she explained. "Are you hurt ?" Bubbles asked "Yeah , just my arm nothing to serious" she smiled . "Let's get that fixed right away" Blossom analyzed the wound , "Some gauze should fix that right up for her " Brick added . "We should get her home then.. " Boomer blinked "He's right let's go" , Butch stood in front gate and stared at the back of Buttercup. Something didn't sit right with him , her smile "It's not the same..." he whispered. "Hey Butch don't just stand there let's go !" Brick ordered clapping his hands , Butch felt a vein over his head throb . "Shut up I'm not a dog " he huffed and shoved his hands into his pocket , quickly making his way over.
