Chapter 8

BOOM! BAM! SMASH!


The girls were woken up by explosion noises and they sped out of the house, wearing their pjs. "No..." Blossom gasped at the sight. There were so many monsters, so many explosions. 


"Where did they come from?" Buttercup asked and Blossom shook her head.


"I have no idea."


"We have to defeat them!" Bubbles yelled and all three sped to the monsters. They started fighting them. At first, it was good, they were destroying them but monster by monster starting getting stronger. Their eyes started glowing and they continued trying to destroy the monsters.


It worked at first but the monsters' strengths were really enhanced.


What can I do?


____________


"Brick!"


____________


The girls were attacked. They couldn't keep up no matter how hard they tried.


____________


"We have to help them!"


____________


They started bleeding.


____________


"Brick!" 


____________


The girls started screaming at the pain. Buttercup screamed so loud.


____________


Butch winced.


____________


"Help!" Bubbles yelled.


____________


Boomer winced when he heard it. "Brick! Please!"


____________


The girls started coughing and the glow in their eyes are slowly fading.


____________


Brick winced, shaking his head. They shouldn't. They're enemies, not some kind of lovers! "Shut up, Boomer! We shouldn't put them a priority in our lives. It's their job to save the town. We won't be affected here."


____________


"Girls, stand up!" Blossom yelled. "No one can help us, we have to save the town!"


____________


"Brick!" 


____________


"I... can't do this anymore..." Bubbles whined and she started to cry.


____________


"Brick..." Boomer fell to the ground, crying. "Please..."


Brick shook his head. What's the point if he saved them? What's the point, really? It would be useless. They'd still be deemed as criminals and they can never live life normally. Because of that one crime, they  were called as criminals so they decided, why not? They tried living their lives the fullest instead.


If they show up there... if they try to save them... wouldn't they just be captured and put in jail?


____________


"Dammit!" Buttercup yelled. "I'm too weak! I... need to get stronger!" Buttercup winced in pain, trying to stand up. She groaned and kept trying to even float. She just couldn't. "Dammit! The Chemical X's supposed to heal us right about now!"


____________


Butch heard that. Buttercup was in pain? Buttercup couldn't stand up even after all those fights they had? He glanced at Brick, and Brick noticed. He still wouldn't budge. Butch couldn't control himself. Butch didn't want to say anything to hurt his brother, he just wanted Brick to be proud of him but...


"Brick, please." Butch stood up. "Please we have to save them!"


____________


"No." Blossom got attacked and she was thrown back to the nearest wall. She broke that and continued breaking three more walls. "We can't... we can't save Townsville."


"We're sorry."


____________


He took of his mask slowly which made Blossom anticipate who was under the mask. "Wow, Pinky." Blossom widened her eyes on the sight of the familiar face and the familiar voice. "You've gotten stronger, huh?" He smirked.


"It's called strategy!"


"Caught you off guard?" Blossom smirked and Brick glared at her.


"The only one demolished will be you." Blossom attacked him using her pink lightning bolts and Brick immediately avoided the attack and it almost hit one of the hostages Brick and his brothers had taken. Blossom gasped and Brick smirked at Blossom. 


"I'll give myself to you."


"Brick~" Suddenly, to Brick, Blossom's lips looked sexy as he remembered the girl kissing him. Blossom showed a bit of her legs and Brick got flustered even more. "No likey?"


"Aren't you tired of losing?!"


"I actually do, babe."


"Come inside. The Professor's not here."


"We don't get everything we want it! We fight for it! We bled for it! We struggle too!"


"Let's take this outside, Brick." Blossom hissed.


"Brick."


"And here you are, leaning on me."


Brick shook his head off those thoughts. Why was he thinking of Blossom right now? Don't. Just don't. Just stay composed.


____________


"BRICK!"


____________


The next thing the girls saw, they were being held by their counterpart. "Seriously, you girls can't even save yourselves?" Brick asked them. Blossom saw him and she cried even more. She hugged her counterpart who held her bridal style.


"You came..."


"Be thankful I heard."


Buttercup was being held on Butch's back. "I didn't need your help." Buttercup tried to speak but failed."


He chuckled. "And here you are, being carried by me." Buttercup weakly hits him as he laughs. "Just lean on me." Butch said, his face turning serious. Buttercup noticed and she knew she's in safe hands.


"Boomer..."


"I'm sorry Bubbles. I'm late."


"It's fine, I'm sorry too."


The boys let the girls down in some place to let them rest. "Just leave it to us." Brick said, looking at the monsters.


"We'll take care of this." Butch said.


"Let Chemical X heal you for now." Boomer told them.


Brick cracked his knuckles. "We'll show them not to hurt our girls." The girls blushed and Blossom looked down, her eyes on him.


"Stupid."


____________


The boys were defeating most of them at first but so many more keep re-appearing. "They'er being spawned." Brick explained to the boys. 


"Should we find the spawner?" Butch asked and Brick nodded.


"Go and find it, don't pay heed to the monsters and come to me once you find it." They split and looked everywhere for it, continuously avoiding the monsters. Boomer found the spawner and went right back to Brick and told him he found it. "Great."


Brick knew if they destroy the spawner, it will stop spawning monsters and it could possibly stop all the other monsters. If it doesn't, well at least there's a little amount of monsters left. The three went and destroyed the spawner. 


"Butch, Boomer! Exterminate the monsters!" Brick ordered and they nodded, fighting a monster each. Brick stayed behind to examine it. It was manually opened. "Who...?"


He shook it off and ran back to destroy the monsters but it became even more powerful and the boys were thrown back. The girls caught them, all fully healed. "This time..." Blossom looked at Brick. "We'll fight together."


Butch and Blossom fought one monster together, Brick and Buttercup and Boomer and Bubbles. The next time, they fought with their counterparts. They defeated all of the monsters soon after. Then, they cheered.


"Thanks, Brick--"


Suddenly, the surrounding started turning red and a red cloud appeared before them.


"Him?!" The six gasped. It can't be... Him was still alive?!


"Did you think you'd get rid of me?" Him asked and started laughing. Blossom and Brick glared at Him and turned to their siblings.


"GO!" They yelled and the six went and fought with Him but was defeated easily. Butch, Buttercup, Boomer and Bubbles were unconscious and Brick and Blossom was on the way to that as well.


"AHHAHAHHA" Him started laughing. His light but deep voice echoing the town. 


Blossom groaned. "There's no other choice." She muttered. She grabbed Brick's collar and kissed him on the lips, remembering that a kiss can make the boys stronger. "It's all up to you now." She smiled and then fell to the ground.


Brick caught her as he felt even stronger. He let her down on the ground, his face red. "I won't let you down."


____________


Brick defeated Him and the others were healed by Chemical X. "Brick, you did it!" Blossom yelled, hugging Brick. Blossom pulled away and Bubbles hugged him too.


"Thank you." Bubbles smiled at him


Then, the citizens of Townsville appeared and was about to cheer for the girls when they saw the boys. They get angry and start shouting, "Destroy the Ruffs!"


"It's now or never!"


"Hey, wait--" Blossom tried to interrupt but their voices were louder. The boys looked down in sadness. I guess they'll never be able to live a normal life ever again. "STOP IT!" Blossom yelled loud. The citizens looked at her as she starts crying and her arm in front of Brick.


"Can't you see he saved all of you?! I KNOW HE HAD PAST CRIMES BUT STILL! HE SAVED ALL OF YOU, HIS CRIMES WEREN'T EVEN HARMING ANYONE! PLEASE... please..." Blossom begged and the citizens looked at each other.

"I hereby declare the Rowdyruff Boys, our citizens!"
