Powerpuff Girls V.2 IC thread.

[Nekoman]

Brick sprung at Berserk as her aura of Fear appeared, only pushing through with a slight advantage from his BlackFire. It seemed this demonic power was much more applicable than he thought; It could burn away emotions!

He jumped at her and pulled her arms behind her back, then one arm wrapped around her neck.
"If we can't play the role of judge and jury, then let's just be the executioners!" He yelled over to Blossom, almost too excitedly.

[charli]

Blossom had her crossbow charged and aimed for Berserk's heart before she realized what she was doing. She didn't lower her weapon, but she did look to Brick. "We can't. We're heroes. We have to do this right."

[Nekoman]

Brick felt her reluctance, and it stifled his excitement for a moment. Then, he made a quick assesment.

This was Blossom's 'Evil Twin' as he had gathered.

In most Tv shows, evil twins were usually clones, robots, or from another dimension.

Berserk wasn't a robot, and Brick was her clone, which left one option.

"How do we get her back to her dimension?"

[Wolfy]

Arken

Arken's eyes widened in shock. He knew it was going to be serious, but...He never saw this coming.

"Y-You're...p-pregnant?" he stammered.

This is unbelievable! I never imagined...I should have seen this coming, but...Oh damn...She said her pregnancy would be shorter than normal...Damn it all, this is bad! I can't...No, get a hold of yourself!

After taking a moment to get over the shock of the situation, he was left with a feeling of guilt. This whole thing was his fault, after all. This whole thing never would've happened if he hadn't been involved. However, thinking about what would or wouldn't have happened wasn't going to be any help. He wasn't sure what to think about it, but he loved Buttercup. He wasn't going to leave her to deal with this on her own.

Arken took Buttercup's hand into his once again and told her "Buttercup, I'm sorry I put you in this position. I know it must be hard to deal with. However, you don't have to be afraid. It will be okay. Whatever happens, I'll be with you every step of the way. I promise."

[Kat]

Buttercup

Buttercup gaped at Arken, almost as angry as she was confused.

"You're talking like it's all your fault. It wasn't like you raped me or anything." she scowled.

It isn't like it's all his fault. I'm old enough to make this choice myself. Maybe I'll just get a f#@%ing abortion.

"Stupid baby..."

[tomaszavenger]

"They think they'll catch me with their weapons? Hmm... guess I won't escape as planned. I guess I'll have to..." Berserk said, before suddenly she went silent.

Berserk suddenly went motionless in the air, and began to fall towards the earth, and it seemed she had no intention of slowing down.

Her toughened body would take the fall easily, but even so, it should be enough to take her mind out of action, so she could be locked up. She didn't care. She'd find a way to break out of jail, assuming the vigilant forces don't pull a Juggernaut lock on her.

[Nekoman]

"She's trying to get out of this, again.." Brick watched for a moment as Berserk fell to the ground, and started thinking. They didn't know how to get her back to her world, and she would just keep breaking out of whatever prison she was put into. Maybe they should let her go, for now, until they can put her away.

Or..

Brick floated down to Berserk's unconscious body, and carefully untangled the bows from her hair, and clenched them in his fist. They turned to ash in the wake of his Black Fire, and the remains fell to the ground, landing next to their former owner. He grabbed the back of her shirt, and shut his eyes, concentrating on the spiritual aspect of his Black Fire. Apparently it could also destroy what isn't tangible, so why not a villain's superpowers?

Brick's eyes snapped open, he felt the fire spreading from his body to Berserk's. In a moment, her powers would be gone..

[Imma leave it open here, so I'm not godmodding.]

[tomaszavenger]

Oh no... what is this... feeling?

Berserk felt herself consumed by a mysterious external energy that was surrounding her. She attempted to resist it, but she had weakened considerably for a random reason, and then she knew why.

X... I need X...

Berserk felt her last remaining energy fizzle out before she fell into a deep coma.

[Nekoman]

"Goodnight, Berserk. Prepare to start tommorow as.. a normal.. little.. girl.." Brick said, content with himself. He would have to thank Him when they finally met up again, he had given him incredible power.

Not that he would hold back against him.

[TrickyLA]

Bubbles and Brat

Both blonds whipped their heads up at the same instant. Bubbles felt a large decrease in power nearby, and Brat could smell something very familiar begin to change in scent. Both girls were silent for a moment, neither breathing a word to the other. Brat's head lowered slightly, while Bubbles nearly seethed. They both had an idea of what was happening. Intertwining hands, both girls flew in the same direction, a tail of light and dark blue trailing behind slowly.

Bubbles could feel her presence weakening, she knew she should have turned to help sooner.

But still......why do I even care?

She cursed to herself, gripping Brat's hand tighter and zooming onwards diligently.

Brat could smell her, but something was off about it. The scent was changing and it scared her alot, despite what she had thought before.

Please be okay....please don't die.....you know I would miss you if you were gone....

Silently, both girls' heads turned to face each other. Cyan and deep Blue met, and they both understood it was time to pick up the pace. Their target?

Berserk

[charli]

Blossom floated down to where Brick held Berserk's limp body. "She's not... dead... is she?" No, the girl was breathing, but what had Brick done? For the first time, now that something had vanished, Blossom realized that she had a sense of other X-ites. It was as if Berserk had vanished. Trembling, she pulled out her cellphone to call Jules, but her shaking fingers couldn't dial the number, and she ended up putting the phone back in her pocket.

[Nekoman]

"Relax, Blossom. She's not dead.. I think she'll wake up in a day or two.. but she'll be a normal little girl, ten.. I burned away her very powers!" Brick said excitedly, almost laughing. He picked Berserk up, and turned to Blossom.

"Do we run from the others? Or do we confront them? If it's one of her sisters, I doubt it would be a nice meeting.."

[TheTimeSweeper]

-tFabikcalcer-

A bead of sweat rolled down the back of tFab’s neck as he faced the creature in front of the display.

“…Well, that’s got to be a sign if I ever saw one…”

The creature let out another low, menacing growl. tFab narrowed his eyes and took a step towards the display.

“Alright you, step aside so that I can get what I came here for.”

The creature bared its fangs and a louder growl rumbled in its throat.

“Heh, I try to act nice and I get ignored. Very well then; prepare to die!”

The fireball in tFab’s palm grew to the size of a basketball and then he launched it at the creature. It merely displayed what could be interpreted as a smirk on its face before the fireball passed right through it.

tFab rose an eyebrow and then formed a basketball sized fireball in each palm before launching them consecutively at the figure.

“Huh, I guess I’ll need to step up my game then!”

These fireballs also passed right through the creature and the cat demon was starting to lose his patience.

“What the hell…? Heh, I guess you’re tougher than you look…..but I’m tougher!”

tFab ran at the creature, a new set of fireballs in his palms, and prepared to strike at the head. The creature anticipated his moves, but didn’t do anything as tFab ran right through it and into what felt like a wall.

tFab stumbled back and groaned, rubbing his head. “Damn, I take that back… Why aren’t any of my attacks working? Alright, you ugly canine; let’s see how you fare against me as your worst enemy!”

He then changed into his demonic cat form before igniting himself into a blazing inferno, yellowish-green eyes aflame with anger.

“You’re messing with the wrong demon!”

He charged at the shadow creature, aiming for the chest area, and prepared to deliver his deadly attack. When he was within range he leapt at the chest, but to his great surprise he passed right through the creature without feeling like he did any damage. It felt like he had jumped through just air. tFab’s eyes widened as he slammed hard into the display case and slid to the floor, groaning.

“Owww…”

The creature rounded on him and growled menacingly, fangs bared. tFab stared up at him from his position on the floor and gulped. The thing was pretty intimidating up close and tFab was slowly becoming aware that it was not going to be destroyed very easily, if at all.

“Um, hehe…nice doggie…”

The growl became a deep roar almost akin to a thunder clap. tFab shuttered and cowered on the floor, too afraid to change back or even move.

“Wait a minute; am I afraid of this thing...? I’m tFabikcalcer! Nothing should scare me this easily! And yet…” The creature slowly advanced on tFab, forcing him back against the display case. The cat demon gulped and his pupils dilated. “I’m not afraid, I’m not afraid, I’m not afraid…”

As tFab stared up into the menacing eyes of the shadow dog, he could faintly make out an image of his fraternal twin sister, Eca, within them. She was dressed in her usual attire of white jeans and sneakers with a white hooded-cloak over a white T-shirt. Light and dark blue flames adored everything that she wore. She looked saddened by something and held her face in her hands, her shoulder-length white hair with light blue streaks gently waving in an unseen wind. tFab stared at her, mesmerized. He hadn’t seen her in such a long time and the sight of her was enough to bring him close to tears.

“How can I be seeing her within this creature’s eyes? I’ve never seen this thing before in my life, so how could it know of my memories?”

He stopped just then, a puzzled expression crossing his features.

“Wait…is that what I’m seeing right now? A memory?”

tFab really couldn’t tell. The image was so clear to him it was like he was looking at her in person. Suddenly, the image of Eca began to distort like there was some interference going on. Her face and body were melting away and tFab watched, confused, as the image formed into that of himself as a human yelling at someone whom he couldn’t see at first. The features of tFab’s image showed partial anger and annoyance as he yelled at an image of Eca who suddenly came into view. She had a hurt and saddened expression on her face as she looked back at tFab’s image before both images started to dissolve away.

“No…no! Come back!”

The images swirled into a whirlpool of color before they vanished completely. tFab was left gaping at the creature’s eyes, a distraught expression on his face.

“I…I didn’t mean those things. I don’t want her to be sad or go away, and yet I always didn’t seem to want her around. Was I ashamed of her? Embarrassed? No, no! I love her as my sister! But why would I say and do those things to her…?”

The creature made a noise just then that could have been interpreted as laughter, something that sounded like a cross between a laugh and a growl. tFab glared back at the creature and jumped to his four pawed feet.

“What the hell is so funny? I’m not about to let the only family I have left be out of my life forever! I’m going to set things right with her and you’re not going to stop me from getting that next clue! I am afraid of you...but I’m sure as hell not going to give up fighting!”

tFab ignited himself once again and let out a growl from deep within his throat. The creature stepped back a little before he lunged at it with his claws and fangs bared, aiming for the chest area, with what hopefully would be a devastating attack.


(Iris, if there is anything that I need to change within this post, can you please let me know?)

[charli]

"We should take her in," Blossom said, steadying herself. "I don't want a fight right now, and you can't be in the best shape to take on two X-ites." Now that her hands weren't shaking, she pulled her phone back out to text Jules. Got Berserk. Coming in. Don't think she'll be a problem. "How do we know, though," Blossom asked, "that she won't pull a Magneto? You know, regenerate her powers?"

[TrickyLA]

Bubbles and Brat

They were close, that was for sure. The two girls eyes each other for a moment before picking up speed yet again. Even their twin blue trails seemed to fade out at the speed they were going.

Brat smelled her first, then Bubbles sensed the other power levels. Within moments, the two girls were in sight. Bubbles halted suddenly, crossing her arms. Her gaze flickered over to Brick, ignoring Blossom completely.

"What the fuck do you think YOU'RE doing?"

Brat stopped behind her, a bit hesitant at first, as she gazed at Blossom. She gulped once, averting her eyes, and then spotted Brick. Her blood boiled for a moment, remembering the last encounter she had had with him. Bubbles felt her anger, and was surprised to find herself seething in a similar fashion. Brat's gaze then fell on Berserk. Her heart wretched for a moment, looking at the pathetic state of her sister. She narrowed her eyes, trying to stand a bit taller.

"What....did you do to her....?"

Bubbles narrowed her eyes more, waiting for an answer.

"WELL!?!? THE FUCK YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING WITH MY FRIEND LIKE THAT! RELEASE HER YOU PRICK!"

It was all Brat could do to keep Bubbles calm enough not to attack Brick right there. She whispered something to Bubbles, and she calmed slightly. Her eyes moved to Blossom briefly, then hurried back to Brick and Berserk.

[charli]

Blossom's hackles rose. Bubbles had an evil twin, too? Or... not? It seemed to Blossom that Bubbles was acting more like the villain here, losing her temper and calling Berserk her friend. Perhaps she was on another one of her hardcore sprees?

"Berserk is under arrest," Blossom told the two blues. "We're taking her into the authorities." Blossom knew she shouldn't, but she couldn't help herself. She shot a look at Bubbles. "Remember? We're superheroes? We maintain order?"

[TrickyLA]

Bubbles and Brat

Bubbles frowned, obviously nobody had informed Blossom about her. Well, it wasn't as if anyone but Buttercup and Bunny could know for certain anyway. She nodded her head towards Berserk.

"I'm doing my best to help out the one person who has openly called me a friend. She needs me right now, and I won't let you take her."

Her eyes narrowed at Brick.

"Especially not you, you fickle prick. Fucking dropping innocents from the fucking skies! Had I been a NORMAL citizen that YOU thought was 'super', I would have died if not for her. I owe her something at least, which I hate to admit. I've grown rather...."

Brat chose that moment to cut in.

"....fond of her. Please, let my sister go...Brick?"

Brat had trouble remembering the correct name. Not only had he given her a false name before, but he also looked a bit like Bradley back home. She frowned, turning to Blossom.

"She's my sister, I need to take responsibility for her. Even though she came here to kill me.....I still love her though! So....please tell me.....what did you do to my poor little sister?"

Tears formed as she stared at her sister's body. It was almost like she wasn't there anymore. Her scent was all changed.

Bubbles merely glared ahead.

[charli]

Blossom stepped between Brick and Berserk, and Bubbles and Berserk's sister. "Take Berserk to the jail. Jules should be there waiting," she said to Brick. And then to the sisters, "Berserk's powers are gone. Other than that, she's perfectly fine. But she is under arrest" - Blossom stressed the repetition - "and I'm doing my job by bringing her in. If either of you try to interfere, then it counts as assaulting a federal agent and obstruction of justice."

[TrickyLA]

Bubbles and Brat

Brat whimpered at that, not wanting to get in trouble so easily.

Bubbles on the other hand, rolled her eyes at Blossom.

"Same ol stick in the fucking mud I see? Not going out to buy a fucking mini skirt? I don't know which Blossom I preferred at this point, the uncaring one or the bossy bitch with sand in her vagina."

She glowered at Blossom, ignoring Brat's gasp of surprise.

"Fuck that, Brat here has the right to take her sister. If she is......powerless.....as you say. Why the fuck do YOU need her? Add insult to injury? Fucking.....idiotic.....You!"

Bubbles glared at Brick.

"You did this DIDN'T you! Fucking sadistic asshole! You took away everything that makes her HER! You too Blossom! I don't know what you two did, but you disgust me."

Brat frowned, a tear slipping down her face. She couldn't help but feel bad for her sister AND for Blossom. Afterall, she was just doing her job as a hero wasn't she? Still, she was pissed at Brick, and seeing Bubbles like this wasn't helping her mood. She took a few calming breaths and moved to Bubbles, but was stopped by an irritated hand.

Bubbles shoved her hand in Brat's face, not in the mood for her calming antics.

"Hand her over, NOW Blossom. Get out of the way or so help me I will fucking cut ALL of your precious fucking hair right now."

Her eyes narrowed, shooting Brick a look in case he decided to bolt.

"Who the fuck is Jules? He a super too? Don't bring other people into this shit Blossom. You know the Punks AND Ruffs are strictly for us to handle. Don't be a bitch, if she's powerless then hand her over."

She held out her arms, shooting a look at Brat. Brat nodded in understanding, wondering how they already knew each other so well. If Bubbles gave the signal, she'd have her back in a second.

[charli]

Blossom only shook her head. "Jules and I are with the FBI. Frankly, I'm surprised the Bureau never stepped in before with our villains, but now we are taking care of business. And you think I care that much about my hair? Please." Bubbles was tensing for a fight, and Blossom found herself following suit. This isn't how I wanted our reunion to play out... But dammit if Bubbles was going to take this red bitch's side.

[TrickyLA]

Bubbles and Brat

Bubbles scowled at her sister, a bit surprised her hair didn't matter to her anymore. She had all but killed her and Buttercup when they had fucked with her hair the last time. She looked pretty damn hilarious though.

"Like I said before, you have taken her WHOLE EXISTENCE AWAY FROM HER. Just let her GO! Brat and I will fucking watch her alright? You don't have to do anything else with her because SHE CAN'T FIGHT BACK YOU-"

Brat spoke the words she wanted to say, but was no longer able to due to her massive change in persona.

"-YOU BIG DUMB MEANIE FACED POOPIE HEADED BULLIES!"

Taking a few gasps of air, Brat blushed.

"....thats my sister you're holding Blossom.....if I were holding one of your sisters......would you accept what you're doing? She powerless...she's......nothing. Can't you at least give her this one break?"

She tried pleading with Blossom, but if it didn't go well, she knew Bubbles was going to attack. She still had some tracks up her sleeves as well though. She wasn't the leader of the most Vile and terrible villains in all of Villetown and Ordiville for nothing afterall. No matter how much she'd like to forget it all and move on.

[charli]

Blossom was taken aback. How was it that the PowerPunk was more like her sister than her sister actually was. Blossom hardly recognized Bubbles. She turned to the Punk. "If our roles were reversed, I would fight for my sisters, no matter how they treated me. But I can't just let Berserk go. And I can't agree when you say she can't fight back. I have investigated too many crime scenes where non-superpowered people fought back and killed someone."

[TrickyLA]

Bubbles and Brat

Bubbles grit her teeth in irritation. WHY sould she just kill this bimbo already?

Oh yeah....she's my sister....

Pain rang through her blackened heart for a moment, but she let it pass nearly undetected.

"She had no experience with fighting without her powers though! Remember when we lost our powers that one time? We were so unused to it that we fell off the fucking BUILDING! I honestly fucking doubt she'd be much trouble. ESPECIALLY with Brat and I watching her ass."

Brat nodded silently, eyes flickering for a moment. She knew that Buttercup would be there too, but she wasn't about to voice that thought.

"Blossom, hand the fucking bitch over. As much as I hate to admit it, she's my friend. I don't know what she did this time, but I DO know that she sure as hell has paid for it. This is humiliating to her. She's lost everything she's ever know. LET HER GO."

She glared at her sister, while Brat stared at Brick. A small blush passed over her face, in embarrassment and in anger. At least she had all of her clothes in tact this time.

[charli]

"I. CAN'T. LET. HER. GO," Blossom snarled. Who knew if Berserk's powers were gone for good? If she was going to suddenly regenerate her abilities, she was going to do so in federal custody. There was no way Blossom was going to chance Berserk recovering in the company of her Punk sister and Blossom's own demented Puff of a relative. "I can't be merciful. I can't do it and keep my job."

[TrickyLA]

Bubbles and Brat

Bubbles glared at her sister, scowling.

"Fuck the job! You're a fucking POWERPUFF. You don't work for ANYBODY. Since when does BLOSSOM OH MIGHTY STICK IN THE FUCKING MUD take ORDERS from ANYBODY."

She panted slightly, mad at herself for these outburts. It made her seem less serious than she was, but she couldn't help it. This was Blossom she was talking with. Brat felt a chill crawl up her spine as Bubbles smiled evily.

"Fine then, fine Blossom. I tried."

Her eyes glinted darkly, her smile resembling one of HIM Himself. Brat gaped, not sure of what to make of it. Her eyes flicked to Brick for a moment, and Brat was off. Before Blossom could stop Brat, Bubbles charged a huge energy blast and fired it at Blossom. While doing that, she also sent horrible visions right into Blossom's head, including the entire incident with the demon incursion that happened two years ago.

Now Brat just has to grab Berserk and we can leave.

Brat flew towards Brick and opened her mouth in a Whiney Wail. Not bothering to stop, she charged into Brick, knocking him to the floor. Biting her lip, she fought the urge to attack him further before grabbing ahold of her sister. She fired a barrage of attacks at Brick, hoping he would let go. When her sister was finally loose, she charged with all the speed she could muster back to the apartment.

[Sorry Brick, Kat and I need Berserk now. Kthnx.]

[charli]

"No," Blossom whimpered, her eyes widening just before the energy blast flung her back into a tree. She fell to the ground heavily and pushed herself up onto her hands and knees, the nightmarish images burning in her mind. "Bitch," she whispered, her voice harsh with tears. "Bitch, did you actually think I'd forgotten?" Whipping out her crossbow, Blossom fired two especially powerful bolts at Bubbles. "I'm trying to make things right! What have you done besides vanish into the shadows?!"

[TrickyLA]

Bubbles

Bubbles scowled, dumb bitch just wouldn't go down. She was disgusted that a part of her actually wanted her sister to be okay. She shook her head, pissed off at Blossom.

"Could have fooled me sis, could have fooled me."

She saw two bolts coming her way, but she didn't move. Fuck it all, of she was hit she was hit. Still, it wouldn't be right to go down without a fight. Growling, she allowed her filter to dissipate. All at once, she was bombarded with the screams and wails of every creature around her. Her eyes flashed red, burning with unshed tears. Her ears steamed from all of the noise. Gripping her fists so tight that they bled, she faced the arrows. Soon, the noise was unbearable and tears streamed down her once innocent baby blue eyes.

And she screamed.

She screamed the loudest sonic scream she had mustered before.

All of the pain and suffering assaulting her, topped with her own strength went into that one concentrated blast. The rings of her scream were filled will all of her suffering, and the scream was heard from all around. She closed her eyes, still screaming at Blossom and her arrows.

And then her mind was blank.

She stopped screaming, merely stared around her. For one second, she was merely a shell. She stared at Blossom with the blankest look in the entire world.

Then, her mind kick started again. Her mind was assaulted again, so she put her mental filter back in place. The tears didn't stop though, but that was okay. She barely noticed it. A dark smile spread across her face.

Well, that's all I can do about that.

~

Brat

Brat flew faster and faster, her only intent was getting her sister to safety.

Whether she wants my help or not....

She was flying so fast, that she got whiplash when she suddenly stopped. Her mind was filled with voices, and pain. She grit her teeth, holding the emotions in. This must be what Bubbles was feeling.

She heard the scream, and she screamed herself. Then, she took off faster.

Stay safe Bubbles....

[Nekoman]

[Okay.. I'm not even going to try to catch up with the posts..]

Bloss was fighting Bubbles, Berserk was taken by Brat, and Brick had his own assult to deal with. He nimbly dodged Brat's attacks, and was about to take off when he caught Bubbles' scream. Clapping his hands over his ears, he wavered in the air a moment, then sped off in the direction Brat had gone. He had already gone through the trouble of taking her powers--

Brick paused.

He had taken Berserk's powers from her. She was just a girl now, essentially a civillian. She had debts to pay, sure, but hasn't she been tortured enough? Brick thought how he would never have accepted this back in kindergarten, but today he was trying to be a hero, and this tipped the scale. He would let them get away, and try to help Blossom.

With this notion, he sped back the way he came.

[charli]

The arrows didn't stand a chance against the scream. Blossom had turned and flown before she even saw them vaporized. Her only chance of escaping from the scream mostly intact was to try to out run it. The air around Blossom exploded as she broke the sound barrier, and then the forest was a blur. It was the toughest flying blossom had ever done, barely dodging the trees, and she knew that at these speeds, hitting one of them might very well be messier than getting hit by the scream.

Blossom emerged into a clearing, and that was when the scream hit her, bowling her over and running her into the ground. But it didn't stop there. No, it had to shove Blossom through several trees before it had dissipated enough to leave her be. "God... dammit..." Blossom groaned, pulling herself out of the rut her body had cut in the Earth. That was all she could manage, though, before she blacked out. That and speed dialing Jules.

[TrickyLA]

Bubbles

Bubbles panted, her eyes beginning to slip closed. She wanted to pass out right then, but she knew she had to get a move on.

Like hell I'm letting them do to me what they did to Bersesrk.

Wobbling, she stood slowly, barely caring about all the destruction she had caused. It served them all right anyway, complaining and crying to her all the time. Blinking her eyes, she slowly floated off the ground. She faltered for a moment, black dots flooding her vision, before she heading quickly towards where she felt Brat's presence.

She paused for a moment, biting her lip. She still felt Blossom, but she was getting weaker. She kicked herself for still caring about her sister, especially after all the trouble she was causing for her.

I'll just check on her to make sure she's okay.....

Following the path of her destruction, she quickly found Blossom passed out on the ground. She took a moment to look at her surroundings and grinned. She wasn't some pushover anymore now was she?

Kneeling over her sister, she brushed some of Blossom's hair out of her face and rearranged her so that she was at least laying more comfortable. Leaning over, she gently kissed Blossom's forehead before getting back up.

"....I'm sorry sis...."

And then she took to the skies once more.
