Powerpuff Girls V.2 IC thread.

[WhiteSong]

Brute

Brute blushed at a different thought- 'No.. bad thoughts! Bad!' Shaking her blush away she smirked, "well you being a guy and all- nevermind." With that she flew up towards Butch. "Lead the way."

[emily4twilight]

Gaz raised an eyebrow to the crazy looking redhead.

What is she talking about ..........best keep an eye on that one.....and the blond.

[tomaszavenger]

Berserk

"Better she takes her time..." Berserk said, talking about Bailey.

"So Gaz... haven't seen you around before? Where abouts do you live?" Berserk asked. She looked at Gaz for a moment, before looking back to where Bailey was supposed to be.

"Good idea to take us here Rini, we at least get time to chat!"

Butch

"Oh... if you want to lead the way... that's fine too! Question is, do you know where my house is?" he asked. Knowing the answer would probably be no, Butch sped through the sky at about 50% of his potential speed. He quickly got to the place.

"This is my pad..." he introduced the plain looking block of flats.

[emily4twilight]

“I’m barely seen town due my job but I stay in an apartment not far from where we’re at now.”

Gaz replied to Berserk.

[Iris]

Tick, Tock. The clock hands spins out of control, as time itself does laugh at our attempts to understand.
The sound of a distant engine roared in the background, as the winds drove passed the riders ears, wailing as they go.
Tick, Tock. The pendulum swings it's monotonous paces, like life itself until an outside force changes the swing.

The rider stopped his motorbike just outside the city limits of Megaville and looked at the city, it's fair people and it's culture. How different it had been for him to comprehend what had happened when he left, how time averted itself and collapsed in it's wake.
Forever changing the rider ever since and nevermore had he been the same.

Tick, Tock. The watchers who cannot understand what they already are witnessing, perhaps they are bliss that they cannot. For time in all it's glory is unforgiving and uncaring save to those who record it's actions.
Taking a deep breath, the rider got off his prized ride and removed his helmet, letting it rest on the seat as he strolled forwards once more, his head held high.
His extended coat caught in the winds and his boots left heavy imprints behind.
"Tick, Tock. Boys and girls the hunter returns from his exile and damn does he want to play." The rider laughed to himself and prepared to head into the heart of this concrete jungle.

Ignatius had finally returned.

[Nekoman]

"Truth be told, I could think of a few other things more interesting than going to the movies, namely something that involves me punching something." Brick mumbled as they walked, now passing by a series of restaurants. He recognized a few, then realized this is where he had been a couple nights ago, and-- yep, the pizzeria.

"Girls, want to stop for something to eat, first?" He said, pressing his face against the window, "It looks pretty good in there, and--" Brick caught Berserk's eye, and he remained rooted in place for a moment as he thought of what would happen if she saw Blossom.

[TrickyLA]

Bubbles

Bubbles waved off the compliment, smiling at the two girls.

"Yeah yeah....."

She hummed slightly to herself, bored.

At least she hasn't figured out who I am yet.....

Idly, she wondered where Bailey was with their food. Her eyes scanned around until the landed on Berserk. She seemed a bit tense, and was looking out the window. Curious, Bubbles followed her gaze and gasped slightly.

Brick!?

As Rini, she started to tremble. Afterall, Brick had dropped her and a normal human would have died from that. Narrowing her eyes, she scanned around Brick. Her eyes widened slightly.

Is that.....Blossom!?

She gulped, taking in every detail of the girl with Brick. She looked a little different, but it was her sister alright. Something in her heart twisted, but she ignored it.

Who else...?

There was another girl with them, one Bubbles didn't recognize.

She seems familiar though....

Shaking her head, she lowered her head and processed this new information.

What are they doing all together? What's going on?

She wanted to question them herself, invite them to sit as Gaz had been invited, but she knew that she should be terrified of Brick. She dropped her head to the tabletop, shivering once.

What if my cover is blown too soon?

[Yetisarge]

"If you are refering to punching to a top agent, namely me try it and see what happens." Zim said looking at Brick before here stopped having caught the eye of a passer by.

"I get the feeling that this is one foe we may both hate." Zim said softly in a whisper only audiable if a person was directly next to him like Brick was.

[Iris]

It is time to set my plans in motion Ignatius thought to himself as he drove through the streets of Megaville.

To set things in a manner which would play out to his designs, after his exile he discovered it was not the future he saw but the possibility of an event from occuring... but it mattered not, everything had changed and he had freed himself from the burden.

He stopped infront of a contruction site opposite the park, it was currently empty due to a disagreement with the employeer and the working crew so at the moment he could use the building to begin a little game of his, a test even.
He parked his ride carefully and pulled a bag from the seat, he had planned everything already in advanced, every backup and screw-up that could happen. But of course nothing was certain, after all he was only mortal.

Ignatius laughed, "Lord am I becoming that serious? HA! I really need to loosen up." He snuck past one of the guards and with a series of shadow-steps he reached the15th floor, the out look was grand, he could see the park and other significant buildings in Megaville.
He took a deep breathe, "No turning back now." And with that he began to unpack the bag, it held four small holographic projectors. They would be one of the keys in this game and so they were placed at a distance from one another by where the window would eventually be. The cool wind blew through and cooled Ignatius' body.

After several minutes work, the stage was set. The projectors were well hidden from the first observation, Ignatius placed them in the top corners and bottom corners of the windowless pannel and when activated they'd make their own window...
Ignatius then pulled out two more objects from the bag, a cell phone and a faceless metal mask.

"CONRAD, please put me through to Mr. tFab, it's time we started our test." He ask his A.I, there was no turning back now as the he heard the dial up of the phone.

It had taken him days to find the man's number much to Ignatius' annoyance. He had to go through alot of contacts to get to this point.

[emily4twilight]

Gaz looked over to Rini .

"what's up with you?"

Gaz turned to face Berserk in hopes of an answer.

[tomaszavenger]

"Interesting... an apartment! It must be a nice place! And... woah!" Berserk said, before she caught sight of Brick with Blossom. She looked intently at both of them, but more on Brick.

I wonder what he's been up to...

Berserk wanted to fly up and say hi, but then again, it probably wasn't the best idea.

Berserk used one of the menus to try and hide herself.

[Nekoman]

"If you think you're gonna foster trust with a common enemy, you don't know me too well." He turned to Blossom and Bunny, "Well, girls? We have enemies inside, whaddya want to do?"

[charli]

"Looks like Jules didn't need to send out a search party," Blossom remarked grimly upon seeing Berserk. But then she saw the girl next to her...

"Bubbles?!"

The blonde was definitely Blossom's missing sister, but what was she doing with Berserk?! Perhaps Berserk didn't know the girl was Bubbles? The PowerPuff had to be using an alias to go undetected for two years. "Well, we can't walk in there and pretend that we haven't seen them. They've probably seen us already. I need to bring Berserk into the Bureau, but I don't want to start anything in the restaurant, so close to civilians. Anyone have a plan to get Berserk out?"

[TheTimeSweeper]

-tFabikcalcer-

tFab approached his plant and set the chocolates down on the hardwood floor in front of it.

“Why the hell did I do that for her? She never did anything nice for me, so why should I care? Well, there were the chocolates to allow me to revert to human form, but other than that, nothing. I might as well go back there, yank the blankets off of her, and let her freeze to death. If I do that though, I’m not going to do it as a cat; I would exert too much energy. Better change back first.”

tFab then set fire to the chocolates on the floor and once they were melted, he lapped them up before returning to his human form.

“Ah, much better…”

tFab was about to stretch his arms after being in his cat form for so long, when his cell phone started to ring in his jeans pocket.

“What the…? Who the hell would be calling me, especially in this time period or wherever the hell I am…?”

He pulled the phone out of his pocket and checked the caller id. The window read:

UNKNOWN

tFab stared at the window for a moment before flipping open the phone.

“…Hello?”

[Nekoman]

"It'd be hard to bait them outside, unless they would like a reunion." Brick said, but the sarcasm of his statement was stifled as Bunny shoved him aside and went to the back alley. She roared, and from where brick was standing, two fists punched through the adjacent wall, pulling Berserk's whole table through the bricks.

[Yetisarge]

"I was nessacarily saying trust.. more like a momentary truce. Since I would so hate to have to have you explaining why you assualted a high ranking agent." Zim said just before Bunny smashed trough the walls.

"Great this is not going to be fun." Zim said after Bunny blew up the wall with her bare fists.

[TrickyLA]

Bubbles

"EEEEEEP!"

Bubbles clinged to the table 'for dear life' as it was pulled through the bricks. She could just blast through them and fly away, but she wanted to salvage any air of secrecy she had left.

Yeah right......I'm sure Blossom must've recognized her own sister.......damn.

It was too soon for her tastes, but if she couldn't convince them she was 'Rini'. Well, she'd have to get their plans into action early.

I have gathered alot of information.....perhaps it IS time to go public.....

She screeched again in 'fear', playing the part of Rini was no easy job when all she wanted to do was think and assess the situation. Her 'wild' eyes scanned around, noticing a male with them she recognized.

Zim....

Continuing her search, she noticed that she was being pulled the wall by the other girl.

That's so......oddly familiar.....

Screaming again, she noticed that Bailey had come out of the kitchen with their pizza. She didn't look shocked, just staring silently. Bubbles thought it was a bit odd, but then the girl dropped the pizza and shrieked. She hurried into the kitchen to alert the chefs and tell someone to call 911.

Great! Like we really need the police!

Finally, her gazed settled on Berserk. She. looked. PISSED. Bubbles gulped a bit, and remembered that Gaz was here. She didn't even want to look at Gaz, because she knew what she'd see. Pure and utter unadulterated LOATHING.

They'd better hope her laptop isn't damaged.

Brat

Brat smiled, hugging the cover tighter. The extra warmth had soothed her previous nightmare, and all was well again. She giggled slightly in her sleep and sighed.

....iiiing.........iiiiiiing......IIING...RIIIING!

It was faint at first, as if it was far away. However, her super hearing was picking it up in her sleep rather well. She scrunched up her face, stirring slightly and tossing. She tossed again, but it seemed as if sleep was lost. Irritated, she pushed herself forcefully upright and glared at the open door.

DAMMIT I'M TRYING TO SLEEP HERE!!!!

She calmed herself instantly, remembering that she wasn't supposed to behave that way anymore. Instead, she was now curious as to who was so close to her door that she'd be able to hear an obnoxious phone ringing. Leaning slightly, she blinked and took a listen. Unfortunately for her, she wasn't paying much attention and fell right on her face.

"OOOWWIE!"

She clamped her mouth shut, covering it with her hand.

Oops....

[Nekoman]

Bunny yanked the table out, with the attached seats and the girls sitting in them, and set it on the concrete in the alleyway. She then roared, hopped over the table and landed behind brick, having reverted back to her normal physique. Brick gulped, he was a little worried having this girl within arm's reach.

"Well, it was a little unorthodox, but we got them to come out.." Brick said to the Zim and Blossom, rather loudly.

"Hiya!" Bunny gave a little wave to Bubbles, "I'm sure I'm just a foggy memory, huh?"

"How do you know Rini?" Brick said, half-turning to face Bunny.

[TrickyLA]

Bubbles

Bubbles blinked, one minute the girl was a beast. The next minute, she was back to the form she had seen her in the window.

What the hell...?

Bubbles searched through her head, looking for anything that would lead her to the identity of this girl. Just as she was about to give up, her mind fluttered across one particular memory. She held back a gasp, but she couldn't stop the flood of tears gathering in her eyes.

No....no way......

But her memory was always spot on, and looking at this girl and remembering what she had just seen. Well, there was no doubt in her mind who this girl was. She wanted to leap at the girl and hug her tight, but that wasn't who she was anymore. As soon as the tears appeared, they were gone again, replaced instead with fear. As long as they didn't know who she was for sure, she would still pretend. Even if that meant not getting to hold her sisters again for a long, long time.

"......no....w-who....a-are you p-people!? Y-y-you all are crazy! You!"

She points to Brick, a brief flicker of annoyance crossing her face before it reverts to the fearful gaze she held before.

"You....you d-dropped me! W-what do you WANT with me!?"

She turned to Zim, waving tentatively.

"....I think we met.....but why are you with him?"

Finally, she turned her gaze to Blossom. Staring into her eyes, she knew she wouldn't be fooling Blossom. Still, she was trained in deceit, and if she could put a doubt in her sister's head it could work to her advantage. Her eyes grew pleading, searching for answers she just wasn't going to get.

"....who are you? You look like her."

Her head flickered towards Berserk for a moment.

"....I'm so confused....."

And I'm soooo busted

[emily4twilight]

Gaz's anger was starting to explode .
what's going on? Zim ? ......CRAP!
Gaz grabed a wepon project form her bag.
"WHAT'S GOING ON?!?"

[Nekoman]

"Just a reunion, I suppose." Brick said, addressing the purple-haired girl, "The weapons aren't necessary, unless one of us decides we aren't fit for their company." He shot a look at Beserk, though still unsure about if it was a malicious or sorrowful look. A heavy wind flew into the alley, and Blossom's hair struck him on the shoulder, abating this feeling.

She was a villain, and shouldn't be trusted. His hand twitched, fully expecting her to fly at them.

[tomaszavenger]

"Damn... damn... damn!" Berserk said in fright. The vigilantes were on her.

Rini... Gaz... they'll be gone from me... unless...

Berserk burst the table around her.

"You're not taking me! NOT AWAY!" she cried, before she flew into the girl's toilets.

[charli]

Blossom only hesitated a moment, just long enough to glance at Bubbles - and she was positive that this stammering girl was her sister - before rocketing after Berserk. The PowerPunk's red trail led to the ladies' room, but there was no sign of her nor of an improvised exit. Berserk was still here. "Come on," Blossom called out. "I'm bringing you in one way or another. You may as well keep yourself unharmed."

[Nekoman]

Bunny, ignoring the Reds, ran over to 'Rini' hugging her around the neck.

"I missed you Bubbles!! I have so much to tell you! where I've been, how I almost thrashed Brick there, and.." Bunny drolled on, unbeknownst to Brick. So, Rini WASN'T her real name. She had used an alias. Which means one, that she had known who he was, and two, she was up to something. He, deciding not to chance it, took a few steps forward.

"Drop the act, Rini, and Bunny, get away from her."

"What!? She's my sister!"

"Just do it, Bunny!"

She paused for a moment, glancing at them both. She took a step back, fearful of Brick's anger. she had managed to beat him earlier, but he was restricted, Bloss wasn't around to keep him from ripping to shreds anyone who defied him.

Which reminded her of her mission, and of the Rowdyruff's evil. She looked at Bubbles again, she was strong enough, and with the other girl and her guns, she would certainly be able to overcome him. It was decided; if Bubbles and Brick got into a fight..

Bunny was going to kill him.

[TrickyLA]

Bubbles

Bubbles sighed, she had locked eyes with Blossom earlier and she knew the jig was up.

Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.

She stopped shaking, completely calmed down, when all of a sudden the purple girl tackled her with a warm hug around her neck. She blinked, listening to the girl babble. She had been found out, but it was still nice, being hugged like this.

Bunny.......

The last she had seen of her sister, she had exploded saving them. The had been selfish and it had gotten their own sister killed. She sniffled once, a few tears escaping for a second, before she calmed herself again.

I'm glad she's okay, but they all know now. HIM knows what's best, and I'm going to prevent that kind of selfishness from happening ever again. Even if it means killing everyone to start over.

Bubbles cracked a grin, eyeing Brick while speaking to Bunny.

"That's rather interesting, do tell me how you kicked his pie some more."

She paused, remembering that nobody could possibly know WHY she had returned. Nobody, with the exception of Buttercup and HIM himself. She pouted a bit, glancing at Bunny.

"You know, he dropped me from really high up when he thought I was a human. He would have KILLED me. Asshole."

Playfully, Bubbles threw a wave at Brick and giggled.

"Hello there 'Brink' you asshole piece of shit! How have you been these past couple of days? I see you're looking as girly as ever with your 'silky smooth hair' Hahaha."

She couldn't resist being an ass to Brick. He had dropped her afterall, and that was just fucking rude. How DARE he anyway? Still, something in her heart was stirring, just being around Bunny and Blossom again. She wasn't sure if she should stay long.

[Nekoman]

In the dramatic sort of fashion akin to his brothers and himself, Brick slapped the energy, causing the bricks next to him to chip with the fired runoff.

"Bubbles, I don't want to get into a fight. All I want is for you to leave. It dosen't matter why you're here, your intentions are written all over your guise, as well as your speech. If you're here to cause any harm to Blossom, Bunny, the citizens, you'd best leave beforehand."

Brick was dead serious, and he let it be known. Bunny was quick to retort, and she hopped to her feet.

"Brick! You should know this is Bubbles! She would never hurt a fly! And you had no right to just toss her around like a fucking radoll!"

"Bunny, It may be in a perverse way, but I'm trying to keep you safe and--"

"SAFE!? You're threatening my sister! You're accusing her of things I'm sure her innocent mind couldn't even fathom!"

Brick sighed, she obviously hadn't been listening to her 'innocent' sister's horrible language.

"Bunny. Please. She's not the Bubbles we used to know.."

"WRONG!" Bunny roared, her eyes turning deep purple. "YOU'RE TRYING TO TURN ME AGAINST HER! YOU JUST WANT TO BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF HER, JUST LIKE YOU FUCKING ROWDYRUFFS! I'M NOT FALLING FOR IT, I'M.. I'LL--!!"

Bunny was seething, and all she was waiting for was a command from her sister, an inkling that Bubbles wanted her to defend her sister. Her fists were clenched so hard her nails cut into them and a trickle of blood forced its way from her balled hands.

[TrickyLA]

Bubbles

Bubbles grinned darkly, eyeing Brick.

"Now, now Brick don't be such a bitch. Why would I ever want to hurt my sisters? Especially one I thought was....dead."

She paused a moment, still wondering how it was possible that she was alive.

"I love my sisters, I can't believe that you would even accuse me of such things. Trying to demoralize my character in front of Bunny. Shame on you Brick!"

She was a bit surprised at Bunny's sudden transformation, but she wasn't shocked at most things so easily. She figured that this was probably a common occurrence now and just went with it. Still, as much as she wanted Brick gone, she couldn't act like it so much right now. They were in a public place surrounded by two of her sisters and Gaz. She didn't really want to cause too much trouble at the moment, so she forced herself to calm down and not challenge the energy Brick was putting out now. She noticed blood dripping from Bunny's hands and sighed, turning her piercing glare on Brick again.

"Now look at what you've done! You've cause my sweet sister to injure herself! Shame on you asshole! Bunny, calm down sweetie its fine. I know we taught you before that bad guys must be punished, but it seems like he IS looking out for you. Try to give him another chance, alright sis?"

She smiled sweetly, her normal Bubbles smile. It wasn't a Rini smile, or a twisted smile, just a plain good 'ol Bubbles smile. And it felt good and natural on her face.

Uuuuuuugh curse family

She giggled once, then opened her arms in invitation to Bunny again.

"I missed you Bunny! We all thought you had 'sploaded! I was so sad.....I missed you funny Bunny....."

It was true, these were her feeling back then. And, she was pretty sure, it was how she still though. HIM never accounted for the Powerpunks and Bunny in his plans

.......but I have to give it my all. Everyone will thank me later.

[Nekoman]

Brick wasn't too shocked at Bubbles' retort, he hadn't expected a fight, so he unclenched his fists. Either he could leave now, and that would be the end of it, or he could stay, act like it was a misunderstanding, and have to deal with her much longer than he wanted to.

Bunny, however, refused to calm down, even with Bubbles around her. Teeth clenched, she let out a low growl. It was apparent from this point she couldn't transform back, now, and there would be a fight.

At the same time, though, Bunny's views contradicted each other. She had been force-learned Brick was a bad guy, but all she saw of him was he was a bit egotistical. She also learned he wasn't in the best of conditions at Brisbane Labs, he was forced to be there, forced to be a weapon. He seemed like a good guy, and now he was genuinely trying to protect her.

Proect her from what? Her sister!? It was absurd, if she couldn't trust family, she couldn't trust anyone. Then again, Bubbles was acting strangely, up until a few moments ago. She had even tried to blast Brick before the accusations started. And Brick had called her 'Rini' she had used an alias, even though she knew who he was..

Brick caught Bunny's eyes, and watched them as her expression rapidly changed. veins pulsed in her arms and temples, and muscles were starting to form. He didn't move, despite the danger he was in. He wasn't trusting her to do the right thing, but he figured he would leave it to chance. Bunny was a smart girl, and gifted, she could easily--

Of course!

"Bunny! Do you still not trust me!? Take a peek into her mind, and tell me what you see!"

Bunny, still halfway concious, took heed to his command. She peeked into her sister's mind, and because they were in close contact, she could delve deeper than ever.

She instantly broke through Bubbles' visage, and after that, darkness. She sifted in her mind until she found a trace of evil, and in it, she saw him. His image laughed silently at her, then the flame of her evil grew and engulfed Bunny. Unable to escape,, she withdrew her mind from her sister's, and took a step back.

"Bunny.. you.. Him?"

[TrickyLA]

Bubbles

Bubbles sighed, shaking her head. Of course Brick would have to make a fight out of it, he could just never leave her the fuck ALONE. She giggled a bit, shaking a bit from containing her mad laughter.

"Ooooo Baby Bunny has a new power! Congratulations sis!"

She smiled kindly to Bunny, giggling a bit more at the look of shock on her face. Now, being the good sister she was, she felt as though she had to warn Bunny of something.

"Good power.....good power indeed. Let's hope it doesn't consume you. They all consume you eventually."

Smirking, she glanced at the fallen building wall behind her. Then, she laughed.

"See that building? Its screaming right now. MONSTER MONSTER! MURDERER!!! It hates you. The pizza? It was already wailing, all right into these fragile innocent ears of mine."

She tsked at Bunny, forming her mouth into a cute pout.

"Oooo Bunny, why do you have to invade my privacy like that? Don't you know its wrong to probe minds?"

Like this?

She giggled a bit more, everything was so funny now that she didn't have to hide.

"Keep in mind sis, I hadn't planned on you OR Blossy showing up so soon. In fact, I thought you were dead! Its great that you aren't though! You gotta know, I have nothing against you Bunny. I love you, I always have! Remember, who was it that named you in the first place?"

She smiled at the memory, and started humming Bunny Bunny Bunny Bunny for a moment. It was a nice memory for her, she never imagined her sister would be back.

I'm sure that Bunny would understand what I'm doing. I'm going to make the world better. She has to understand why the world needs to be changed. Its not all rainbows and butterflies anymore. I was too naiive and I got hurt. I hope she doesn't suffer the same.

"You're going to trust BRICK, of all people? Why don't you take a peek into HIS mind. See what he did to BLOSSOM. To all of us! During that demon incursion...."

Despite all the training, the thought still made her shiver.

"Go on Bunny, take a peek."

[Iris]

Ignatius took a deep breath before he replied, "Greeting Mr. tFabikcalcer, you are..... a very hard man to find and contact."
He once more added a pause, to add a bit of drama, to let the bait sink in, "For the sake of this call, you may refer to me as 'Contractor' as my real name would aid my enemies in finding me... I do apologize for calling at this time, as you would expect I have my reasons.

Once more he let his information sink in, he didn't want to rush this, he needed to move at a steady pace, "I have a business proposition for you, but I cannot talk business over the phone, if you are interested feel free to ask three questions, that is all the time I am risking using this phone. If you have none, meet me at building 303 at Megaville Park-avenue, it will be the building under construction. I am on the 15th floor."

"So Mr. tFabikcalcer, do you have any questions?"
