Powerpuff Girls V.2 IC thread.

[TrickyLA]

Brat

"HIM? Who is that?"

Brat had no idea who this 'HIM' was, but judging by Buttercup's reaction, He couldn't be a good person.

Wait....did she just say that her sister WASN'T here?

"Huh? I-I thought......but Arken said he saw her......."

Completely confused, Brat rose her hands up in defense.

"N-no no! No joke I swear! I only tell the truth now! Well.....except my name....but it was for a good reason! Nobody would want a hero named 'Brat' defending them!"

Brat was really confused now though, was Bubbles in the city or not?

[Nekoman]

Brick mounted the arrow on his own energy shortbow. He aimed squareley for an empty area of the park, more specifically at a small wooden stage used for outdoor 'minor' performances. After aiming, he pulled the arrow back and clenched his eyes shut.

No one die.. No one die.. No one DIE!

Brick let loose his flaming arrow, and it soared in a wide arc over the heads of easy-goers and Frisbee players. A few citezens saw the arrow, and pointed at it, alerting others around them. Brick looked back just as the first of the screaming started up, and was immediateley blinded by the bright light of the arrow's impact. It shone brilliantly before a larger, pitch black dome swallowed the first explosiion. Brick realized immediateley that he hd used too much, and the blast radius was spreading much farther than he had hoped. Trees and grass were burned and disentigrated, and a few dogs let out a final yelp as they were swallowed by the destructive force, tied to a tree by thier already-escaped owner.

I.. I didn't mean to.. I didn't want to..

tFab was continuing his trek down the sidewalk when an explosion rang out nearby causing the cat demon to stop suddenly.

"Geez, what the hell was that? It sounded like a gas main exploded or something."

[TrickyLA]

Bubbles

Bubbles stiffened.

Those poor animals......they had nowhere to run to.......

She felt a tear slide down her face, but forcefully wiped it away.

THAT BASTARD! KILLING ANIMALS TOO!? They were DEFENSELESS! That makes me SICK. Defenseless animals don't deserve that......even I wouldn't do that........probably....

She WAS being a bit biased, she admitted. She was LOOKING for things wrong with Brick now.

Damn red.....more red all over......

"HIM......it seems he's more of a threat than previously assumed, but less than before."

[tomaszavenger]

Berserk

Berserk watched as a bright explosion ripped the centre of the square, and tore the ground and all the animals near it. It seemed that nobody had been hurt, much to Berserk's disappointment.

She noticed a little fear in Brick's eyes at what he had done.

She came up to him and looked him in the eyes.

"You did good... hopefully Brat will come, so we can smite her... together." Berserk smiled.

Brick will be a useful friend to have. With strength like his... I might be able to take this place. He's far better than Brute could ever have been.

"WHERE IS BRAT? SHE SHOULD BE HERE BY NOW!" Berserk growled in rage, noticing she seemed to have brought negative attention.

Butch

Butch heard the sound of an explosion. Even without super hearing, Butch realised people could hear it, as confirmed by the cat-demon.

"I suggest we investigate!" Butch noted. He picked up the cat and began to fly towards the noise. He motioned Brute to follow him as well.

Butch let down the cat a few meters away from a slightly large crater. He looked around and noticed a similar face across the other side.

"Wait... that can't be him? Can it?" Butch thought. He tried to focus on the face but then a red-clad girl blocked his field of vision. Butch swore at his luck.

[Nekoman]

Brick peeked out from behind the tree (he was hiding frm the blast) at the first people to arrive and 'help'. Immidiateley he recognized his emerald eyed brother, anf he jumped back behind the tree.

Butch.. Well, Brick, your brother is right there.. what do you do?

Brick really hadn't anticipated seeing him so soon, and in fact, hadn't even thought about what to do when they met up.

Should I reveal myself? Or should I help this girl with finding Brat first? I guess.. at least as long as I know he's okay.. I'll stay hidden..

Brick reached for a pack on his side, pulling out a black beanie and contact pack. He switched out his hat for his beanie, and placed grey contacts over his eyes. He came out from behind the tree, hoping Butch wouldn't notice.

[tomaszavenger]

Berserk

"What the hell are you doing?" Berserk asked Brick. She noticed he had changed his appearance, and was a little shocked.

"Umm... who are you hiding from?" Berserk wondered, looking at the crowd to try and determine who it was. But the crowd was dispersed in the distance. Brick must recognise the person.

Butch

"Wait... I could SWEAR that guy was Brick!" Butch wondered. He noticed that the guy had grey eyes, not red. And he wasn't wearing the right cap. The hair was very similar though.

He turned back to the matter at hand, the massive crater...

"Who do you think did this?" he asked Brute and the cat.

[magicmidtown]

-tFabikcalcer-

"Wait a minute, who is Brick? Oh wait, nevermind...Bell told me all about him. Well, only bits and pieces at least." tFab stared up at Butch. "Do you know how pissed she is at you guys, especially you? Well, in the future she will be... If you ever see her, try not to piss her off. It could potentially erase any ill-will that would be created between you two."

tFab then looked back at the crater and mulled over Butch's question for a moment.

"I still think that a gas main or something exploded. If that's the case, then we really shouldn't be here. Those things are like ticking time bombs. We could be standing over another potential explosion right now."

[TrickyLA]

Bubbles

Bubbles hissed under her breath.

No.Fucking.Way.

There was NO POSSIBLE WAY that that person over there was Butch. NO WAY. But, somehow it was. She had been unsure about Brick, but there was no way she could be wrong about Butch.

"Damn, they're all right here........"

She twitched a little bit, slightly edgy now. Who was with Butch though?

Buttercup? No......no its not her. I can tell it not here. So who then? Some random hooker? But I can feel a power level.......they DID just fly here. Or was that Butch? The only person that comes to MY mind is.........are they ALL here?

If all of the Punks were here, then she had to strategize better. She was pretty sure she could take then, but if the Punks and Ruffs AND her sisters decided to gang up on her........

"HIM......this is going to be VERY interesting....."

So, if Butch was there, and then the girl was Brute, Bubbles wondered who the third person could be.

Wait......a cat? What the hell? Talking.....cat.....I only know of one talking cat.......but it can't possibly be that one.

"Seems as though we're going to gather much more data than previously hoped."

Smirking, Bubbles stared on at the scene before her.

Now then, what will you all do next?

Brat was really confused now though, was Bubbles in the city or not?

BC

Buttercup turned her gaze to Arken, staring in disbelief.

"You saw. My sister. And you didn't, TELL ME?!" she worked her way up to a shout, afraid and sort of hurt.

She slid to the floor, shaking her head.

"She can't be here..."

[TrickyLA]

Brat

Brat's eyes widened.

Oh shit! ><

"Buttercup! Are you okay?"

Worry invaded her eyes. Something told her this was worse than she thought......

"I'm sorry! Sorry sorry sorry! ><"

She fell to the floors as well, hesitantly hugging the green puff. She knew she would probably be pushed away, but she also knew that sometimes a hug could change everything.

I didn't mean to cause trouble......forgive me....

[Kat]

BC

Buttercup sat still on the floor, letting Brat hug her.

This can't be happening... It's like...

It was like Bubbles was back, worrying over her again.

But this wasn't Bubbles.

But...

It felt so... comforting.

And Bubbles being back in the city?

Something's wrong here...

[TrickyLA]

Brat

Brat continued to hug the green puff, stunned that she was even allowed too.

Poor thing.......

She could feel a few tears pricking the side of her eyes now, someone was accepting her kindness.

I wish that....my own sisters could have done this for me......

Burying her head into Buttercups shoulder, she hugged tighter. Now not only for Buttercup, but for herself and her sisters as well.

"S-sorry....."

[Wolfy]

Arken

"If you will let me explain, there's a reason I didn't tell you." Arken said, frowning.

"You see, I had talked to Bubbles a short while before coming here. I had asked her what she was doing here, because I knew that she had gone off...somewhere...those couple years ago. She wouldn't answer, so I pressed her and pressed her. Eventually she became a bit...violent." Arken paused for a moment, then continued.

"Eventually, I got the truth out of her. It...isn't good." Arken said. He decided to neglect the part about telling Bubbles where Buttercup was living. It probably would have only made things worse.

"Do you see now? I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to go off looking for her. It wouldn't have ended well if you did."

[Kat]

BC

Buttercup stared up at Arken from Brat's embrace, and slowly and gently disentangled herself.

"Well..." she said, looking calmly at Arken and Bruce, sitting on the bed, like cats are wont to do.

"I guess I'd better go out then." she stated, walking towards the door.

"Where was it that you saw her?"

[TrickyLA]

Brat

Brat stared up at Buttercup, the words clicking in her head.

Going......

Snapping her eyes wide, Brat jumped off of the floor.

"Hey! Let me go with you ! Please! ><"

She couldn't let Buttercup go alone. She didn't know why, but she just couldn't. Besides, she needed to see Bubbles too.

"I could help! ><"

[Wolfy]

Arken

As soon as Buttercup ended her sentence, Arken mustered up all his speed and in a matter of milliseconds he was blocking the emerald-eyed girl's way.

"You aren't going to look for her." Arken told her, sternly. "I am not going to let you put yourself in danger for the sake of a family reunion."

"What are you interfering for?" the inner Arken asked. "I didn't think you were the kind of person to get involved with other people's business."

Arken, fed up with his inner self, replied angrily: Be silent. This is none of your concern.

The other Arken did not reply.

[Kat]

BC

Buttercup growled, her eyes beginning to glow green.

"Get. Out. Of. My. Way." she gritted her teeth. "It isn't any of your business."

She feinted left, hoping that Arken would head to block her around that way, then made a break to the right for the door.

[TrickyLA]

Brat

Brat glared at Arken as well, what concern of his was it if Buttercup wanted to confront her sister?

"Hey! You should let her go! If she wants to find her sister, then I say let her. You don't have to worry about her, she's a POWERPUFF Girl! Besides, I won't let her go alone either! ><"

[Kat]

BC

Buttercup stopped in her tracks and glared at Brat.

"No." she growled. "This is between me and her, not you, and not him." she gestured at Arken.

"So both of you just back off and let me go. Alone."

[TrickyLA]

Brat

Darn! I knew it wouldn't be this easy! TT-TT

"B-but....I have to see her! >< This could all be my fault! Maybe I can help! Pleeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaase! Please Buttercup PLEASE!"

Brat didn't know what to do, but old habits were hard to break. Especially when the habit was whining to get what she wanted.

[Kat]

BC

Buttercup scowled, turning her full attention to Brat.

"Absolutely not. You could get hurt, and I'm not going to be held responsible for you." she softened, reminded of how her sister used to whine and cry like that. "I'm not going to let anyone get hurt because of me, okay?"

She turned back twards the door, where Arken was still standing.

"Just get out of the way."

[TrickyLA]

Brat

I wonder if she'd still care.....if she knew who I really was......

"Buttercup. Don't worry about me okay? I can take care of myself! I'm HARDCORE DAMMIT! ><"

Okay, so she wasn't a villain anymore. That didn't mean she was any less skilled! She would prove herself to be tough AND a hero.

"You CAN'T go alone!"

[Kat]

BC

Ignoring Brat, Buttercup stalked towards Arken and the door.

She growled, "Just move and let me go find my sister, dammit."

Buttercup glared up at him, fully prepared to shove him aside in a display of power.

She had kept up her training and started up with martial arts again, easily earning a black belt within a year.

"If you don't move, I'll just make you, you know."

[Wolfy]

Arken

Arken had enough of arguing. He told her sternly "No. I will not move from this spot."

He then said, a bit more softly "I know you want to see her, Buttercup, but it's far too dangerous. Despite what you might think, I care about your safety. I'm not going to let any harm come to you. Even Powerpuff Girls have their limits, and Bubbles may be beyond yours."

He put a hand on her shoulder, then told her "I know how hard it is not seeing your family for a long time. Trust me on that. But now is not the time to lose your senses and go running wildly to find your sister. I'm not letting you go, alone or otherwise."

[Nekoman]

Brick shrugged his eyes off of Butch, trying hard to look non-chalant. He did want to look as though he had something to do with the boom, but didn't want to give himself away. He tugged at one of Berserk's ribbons, and whispered in her ear:

"So, one of them Brat?"

He seriously doubted this, but he needed to do something to break the akwardness of just standing here. Besides, now that he knew Butch was still around, he wanted to get his promise to Berserk out of the way so that he could meet up with his brother.

Come to think of it... where's Boomer?

[Kat]

BC

Buttercup stared at Arken in disbelief for a second before shrugging his hand off her shoulder and glaring at him.

"Don't even think you care about my safety. You don't know me." she grimaced. "Just back off, okay?"

[Wolfy]

Arken

Arken looked into Buttercup's eyes. Despite the fact that she was glaring at him, there was something about those eyes. Something...attractive.

Thinking back on it, Arken couldn't recall what was going on in his head at that moment. He didn't know how it happened, or why. All he remembered was that he decided to ignore that little voice in his head that was yelling DEAR GOD, MAN! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!...

...And he kissed Buttercup's lips.

[TrickyLA]

Brat

Brat didn't know why or how, all she knew was that THAT guy who was blocking HER way was now KISSING her new friend. Her mind blanked out, she was so confused. Luckily, her body seemed to be able to work without brain function.

"GET THE FUCK OFF OF HER YOU PEDOBEAR!!! >0"

And then a very large dark blue blast was fired at Arken, with a very angry Brat behind it.

[Wolfy]

Arken

Arken snapped out of his reverie just in time for him to notice the large blue blast coming his way. Breaking his kiss with Buttercup, in a very quick succession of moves, he took his sword, formed it into a spear, braced himself, and thrust the tip of the blade into the oncoming attack.

He held the attack in place, then a few moments later, it dissipated. he then stood straight, spear resting on his shoulder, and said to Brat "That was quite unnecessary. You really shouldn't attack people during something like that, you know."

The inner Arken said "You're setting yourself up to be killed, you know."

Hey, if she doesn't kill me for that, Buttercup will.
