tFab half-smiled at 'Bubbles' as he straightened out his T-shirt and ran a hand through his jet-black hair.
"Yeah, I'm not always a cat. I only change into that form for certain reasons and if I don't eat for long periods of time when I'm in that form, I cannot change back and I start acting more and more like a cat."
tFab then took a step towards 'Bubbles'.
"So, Blossom and Buttercup are not around? Where do you think they might be? And I'm seriously starting to doubt that you are indeed Bubbles. You don't give off a certain vibe that my friend described to me."
tFab crossed his arms and stared at the young woman.
Brat narrowed her eyes slightly. This guy was suspicious, and she didn't want him to know anything. Cat or not, she had to give off the 'Bubbles vibe' that she had worked so hard to achieve in her 2 years of training.
"Oh......Sorry, I'm having an off day mister kitty."
She smiled apologetically, giggling slightly.
"Really though, I don't know where they are.....we don't.....we don't talk anymore..."
Sighing, she grabbed on arm in front of her chest nervously.

Now it was tFab's turn to narrow his eyes. There was something about this young woman that just screamed to him "not Bubbles", but he didn't really know what. Maybe it was the extremely long pigtails or maybe it was her mannerisms. tFab decided to dismiss the fact that she didn't answer his question about who she was exactly. Probing could potentially be a huge mistake; he knew that there were other ways to make people talk. His gazed softened slightly as he addressed the young woman.
"The friend who I am talking about goes by the name of Bell. If you are truly Bubbles, you would know who she is."
"Then do something, hothead!" Brick yelled, "I'm almost out of energy here!" Brick could feel his energy dropping quickly, and he started to falter in his hovering, using the last of his reserves to hold off his opponent.
Arken bent over slightly from the pain. Luckily for him, he couldn't feel much. Besides, this wouldn't compare to the pain that was about to come...
He glanced at Buttercup and said "I didn't want to send either of you away...But this is something most people would rather go through alone. Though I suppose you made up your mind, right?"
Buttercup
Buttercup smirked slightly, changing her stance slightly into one that wasn't easily budged by force. This, she had learned in her very first days of training.
"Just try to stop me" she grinned victoriously. No one could boss her around.
She flicked her gaze over her shoulder to Bruce, who was sitting at the door staring across the hall at Brat's room.
Then, bringing her eyes back to Arken, she smiled, trying to hide the fact that she was clenching her teeth at how seriously un-fixable his arm looked.
"So, whatcha gonna do, use some superglue?" she grimaced at her bad attempt at humor and watched Arken cautiously.
The meeting went off with MUCH difficulty as Brute had not appeared as per planned however Bell was quite happy that the meeting had come to a close after she blasted the nearest grunt into the wall for his idiotic attitude! "The nerve of such a lowly being asking me such a question!" Bell grumbled as she stomped down the hall intent of getting some fresh air.
Pale eyes stared at the sky as she felt as though something of her memory was- gone. Shaking her head to clear her thoughts she blasted into the air for once after what seemed along time, having no clear destination... "I just need to figure somethings out- off to Megaville then~"
She spoke softly as she landed in Megaville spotting someone who looked like Bubbles and- a cat? No he was clearly human... but- "What do we have here?" She muttered curiously. Before hovering over to the two. "Who might you two be? Oh! am I interrupting something?!" She gasped with mock surprise before smiling coldly. Oh how she loved these games! "I'm Bell and you two are?..." She asked with a slow blink.

"I'm not sure if they do anymore. Those powerpuff girls and rowdyruff boys.. used to live in this city awhile back, but they disappeared and I don't think they have come back yet." Zim told the man telling him the same story that had been going around the city for about three years now.
"Anyway I probably should be going now." he said as he closed his watch up and turned to leave with Gir.

Aku
"I see. I could use someone like that. You see, I am creating a league, a league of those with exeptional talents, such as being good with technology. WHat do you say?"
"Oh good luck with that one buddy." Zim said and chuckled on the inside as he left and contacted him to inform him about Aku and his apparent little challenge. "So did you hear any of that conversation Him?" he asked to Zim as he got a drink and an ice cream cone for Gir.

HIM
HIM new about Aku. A demon soccerer, and a powerful one at that.
"Yes. So Aku has returned. That troubles me. His powers rival even my own. Zim, change of plan. I want you to keep an eye on him, make sure that what ever he's planning doesn't happen. HIs appearnce may do something to my plans."
HIM then cut his connection with ZIm, and searched for Bubbles.
"Bubbles, WE may have a problem. It seems the demon socerrer, Aku, has returned. What is your take on this?"
'Hmm so Aku had returned.. hmm perhaps it would be time to alert the man in his neighborhood.. since apparently he had beaten Aku before with that sword of his.' Zim thought to himself as he devised a plan to keep watch on Aku
I'm not a nazi!... I'm a hamster with food in my cheeks!
Despite Buttercup's attempt at a joke, Arken failed to see the humor in the situation.
"Not exactly..." he said to her. "All I'm going to do is swallow a pill."
As he said this, he opened the black case and removed one of the little green capsules. He quickly popped it in his mouth, swallowed, and removed the bandaging on his arm.
He waited for a few moments, letting the blood flow freely from his bloody stump of an arm. Soon after, however, the bleeding stopped...and the pain started.
It was terrible and blinding, and caused him to fall to his knees. Arken didn't let the worst of it show, but a few grunts and moans escaped his lips.
Then from his arm, the bones started growing outward. Slowly and splintered, but growing nonetheless. Joints formed, bits and pieces separated, and after around 15 minutes a full skeletal arm had formed.
Afterward, flesh started growing out and bloodily stretching over the new bones. Still excruciatingly painful, with large droplets of blood falling off of the new meat forming on his arm. In another 10 minutes, this was done.
As this skin started forming, the pain had subsided a bit. Breathing heavily, Arken managed to sit up. In a matter of moments, he a had a whole new, fully-functioning arm.
He looked at Buttercup and said, smiling slightly "There. Good as new. A bit painful to use, sure, but it will get the job done."
Bubbles was just leaving the ditch when she got a message from HIM.
"Aku.....? How the fuck do you even KNOW this?"
She knew she was speaking out loud, but she didn't feel like a total link up right now.
"I think you should leave him by for a bit, gauge the situation."
Nodding to herself, she found a bench to sit on at the park. Right near by where Brick had flung her.
Oh joy, getting flung around for NO REASON.
At least it was finally quiet. There was alot of data to be collected at that site, she had absorbed into her memory that she could, but she still wished she had followed someone.
Too late, guess I should sleep....
Seeing as she had nowhere to stay, she figured the bench was as good a place as any to catch a few Zs. Looking up at the starry night sky one last time, she allowed her eyes to close as she rested on the bench.

Berserk
"Or why bother attacking me when I'm not too bloody interested anymore?" Berserk asked, before turning away and zooming away from the two.
Aww... they'll make a cute couple. At least now they can leave me be while I take care of Brat myself; just like old times!
Berserk caught her bowerangs and readjusted them in her hair. It was suprising they were still as wild as they were before, even with their straightening out when they converted into the bowerangs.
He looked at Buttercup and said, smiling slightly "There. Good as new. A bit painful to use, sure, but it will get the job done."
Buttercup
Buttercup gaped at Arken, wide-eyed through the entire process.
"No way... No way did that just happen." she blinked and shook her head in disbelief.
"Seriously... Where does one come across pills like that?" she asked in utter confusion.
"You must be the most ecclectic person I have ever met." Buttercup said, thinking out loud. Her thoughts had been on the track of how different this man was from the one who kissed her, only a few hours before.
Arken chuckled a bit. "Trust me, Buttercup," he said. "It did just happen."
"And as for where I got the pills...When you travel around as much as I used to, you find all sorts of things."
He paused, then said. "Listen, Buttercup...I hope you still aren't too angry at me for what I did earlier. I know it was stupid, and I won't do it again."
Hoping to appeal to her sense of humor, he added with a wink "Unless, of course, you want me to."
I'm probably getting slapped for that, but damn it the situation needs some lightening up.
Buttercup's eyes went wide. He did not just... She blushed and glared at the ground, debating with herself on the best possible way to adress Arken's final comment.
She grimaced, indecicive, and silently offered Arken a hand up from his knees.
"Just get up off the floor, then we can straighten this mess up." she said, still avoiding his eyes, trying not to make obvious the fact that she might actually want him to kiss her again.
Finding it to be some sort of Christmas Miracle that he didn't get slapped, he smiled and said "Sure thing."
He took Buttercup's hand and lifted himself off the ground. He looked around, grimacing at the mess he made in his brand new apartment. "Blood stains and soot," he mumbled "Takes serious work to remove."
He looked over at Buttercup and ask "So, where should we start?"
He didn't notice he was holding on to her hand the whole time.
It was his hand in hers that did it. Something in her mind flipped one way, and Buttercup made a rash decision, as she does at times.
Taking a deep breath, she tugged Arken's hand so that he was close enough to her, stood on her tiptoes to be able to look him in the eyes, and she kissed him.
Buttercup, the tomboy. Buttercup, who hated the idea of kissing boys.
At first, Arken wasn't completely sure what had just happened. He knew that Buttercup had brought him closer, then...his mind blanked for a moment. It was a few seconds after that he realized that their lips were locked.
He was genuinely surprised by what happened. This was the last possible thing he expected. Of course, that didn't mean he wasn't enjoying himself. He just wasn't sure how to handle the situation.
After a moment, he broke the kiss. Since he didn't think she would've kissed him, he was slightly unnerved.
He said "So, shall we clean up, or..." and laughed nervously.
BC was extremely close to smacking herself in the forehead several times.
Stupid, stupid, stupid! What was I thinking?!?!!?
She blushed a shade almost as red as Brick's eyes earlier, attempting to de-awkward the situation. Yeah, riiiiight...
"I...um...S- sorry." she stammered out an apology, stalling in an attempt to think up an excuse.
"I...ah... No idea what came over me." she stared at her shoes, tensed to run at any sign of further embarrassment OR of teasing. Buttercup couldn't stand being teased
"Calm down, Buttercup." Arken said. "There's no need to apologize."
He put a hand on her shoulder and told her "Come now, Buttercup. You can be comfortable around me. I'm not going to embarrass you or anything. Just relax."
Mildly surprised, Buttercup let herself be kissed, this time enjoying herself, and noticed how different this kiss was from the first one, and from her own, inexperienced attempt.
She felt her tensed muscles relax, and even started to lift a hand to Arken's face when she abruptly stopped herself and reluctantly broke their kiss.
"Wait a minute... Just.. Slow down for one sec, and answer some questions please." she ordered, however gently, reverting back to Powerpuff mode.
Bloss would hate the fact that I'm doing her job
"What," she stared up at Arken, " were you trying to do when you blew your room up? And how...exactly, did you blow it up?"
