Fan Fiction ❯ Powerpuff Maximum EX. ❯ Chapter 9
The metropolis of Citysville.
It was still the crime-infested, dirty crowded little dank piece of hell it was always known for. But at least this city actually tries to take care of it's self. While this maybe hell consider by some; it was the better parts of hell compared to Townsville.
As a crazed Bubbles floated over the entire city looking for the best point to begin her cleansing of herself and these people beneath her, she need a place full of technological equipment, some place near the most people and something that can be well fortified.
City hall was out of the question, it wasn't high tech enough and it would make a good fort. But this place, the one she was over slowly turning herself into a purplish gel thanks to the nano-bots, The Institute of Scientific Research and Cybernetic Development (I.S.R.C.D.), would be perfect.
There was a soft glow before the final remains of Bubbles driven herself in the very center of the building at blinding speeds, and as she driven through the floors the gel shout out in long tentacles and latched on to anything - organic or not - and spread the new virus. It only took minutes for the screams to be silenced, it only took seconds for the core to find the fourth sub-basement where all the best equipment was being built and stored. It took it an few hours to begin to spread out of the building and take over the entire block to establish a firm base of operations. Over night it cut off all transportation and communications with the equipment it absorbed.
By day break over four thousand of three million people were infected by the new virus, and it was still spreading fast.
It only took two whole days to reenact the Majin Taisen, the Black Mafia assault to be exact. With just one exception.
Brick was doing his heroic duty for the week by taking out a few Majin Taisen leftovers with what little police there was left, he did this once in a while for no real reason except making at least the streets a little safer.
There was a tip of irony here, his female counter-part has gone to crime while he fights for justice.
He waved to the officers as he floated off, only to see the fox eared girl sitting on the ledge of a tall building. He was going to go over and say a friendly hello to his half-sister but she floated away.
This town is getting a little too angsty for me.
This town is a little too misty for me, Princess thought as she stretched on the sun deck. She was amused at Buttercup's antics with Captain Tom's heroic "effort", while Buttercup used her new found talent with the earth - creating a huge wave of sand out of nothing - against Tom's ice beams while they both raced towards the house.
"Go Buttercup," Princess shouted as the raven hair girl cross the property line with the large sack of rare diamonds. Since there is a law in Carterpolis that states "a villain makes it to their base their scotch free", it was passed by a bunch of villains in the sixties. Captain Tom shrugged and looked around, that's when he spotted Major Nelson and decided for another chase, that's when his -Captain Tom's - arch rival, Guess how many turkeys it takes man, joined in.
Princess lean over and kissed Buttercup than lead her inside, Buttercup placed the bag onto the coffee table while Princess went into the kitchen to put some TV dinners on. Buttercup was picking out the finer diamonds and placing aside the lesser ones for use later on, Princess watched intensely while literarily sitting on the edge of her seat. Buttercup knew what was on the rich girl's mind, actions speak louder than words.
Buttercup placed her hand over her mouth while raising a brow like a man in at a chess match. (The answer is no.)
Princess rested her head in one hand as she smiled. (We're already together, we love each other, we're best friends and we've already did the wild ride.)
Buttercup lean back with a diamond and tapped it a few times. (I'm afraid you might met someone else better than me, I don't want to tie you down.)
"How was your day," Princess said as she crossed her legs. (Bull shit, you're afraid of commitment.)
"Fine," Buttercup said while she reached for a small diamond. (Three words; Sea Monkeys, traumatizing.)
"I think I hear the dinners dinging," Princess said as she went to get the dinners and came back with something looking like green stuff. (Fine, I can live with that for now.) "No offense 'Cup, but looking at this thing I lost my apatite." (No mermaid and the explorer for a week.)
"Me too," Buttercup pushed away her dinner. (The cleaning, the horror.)
"I'm going to go work on the new power suits," Princess said while she walked away. (Forget I brought it up.)
Blossom was in both a state of depression and shock, there was another like her out there. She shook her head while walking down the street, she wanted to learn what she was but she was also afraid to learn what's she capable of.
"What an odd make over," a voice echoed around her head. "A little spooked, aren't ya'? Don't worry about it, going into kill rages happens to me too when I was learning to control my power."
The idea of being more powerful than she was at the moment terrified her, she couldn't even handle herself now. Looking around she found herself in her neighborhood, and right in front her house too!
Blossom was about to turn around and leave when she notice a broken window in the front, this concerned her for a moment. Not because she still have any emotional feelings for her sister, Bubbles, but because she was worried that someone would find her diaries. That and the poor robber was being subjected to Bubbles' insane lust.
She fished out her house keys and open the front door, there wasn't anything off about the main hall nor the stairs. But the moment she saw the bloody mess in her room through the door she rushed in and found the large hole and the blood spatter wall with the metal cables laying on the floor.
What the hell?
There was a busy signal, than the phone company telling her that they were busy trying to contact Citysville. Barbara wanted to call a friend to wish a happy birthday, but now she might have to wait 'til tomorrow.
She was alone in the house, with the exception of Butch but she didn't have much hope there. While on the subject she decided on going upstairs to check on the kid, she bet he was in his room being a gushy angst bunny he is.
She walked up the stairs and listen intensely but heard nothing, no surprises there. When she open Butch's door she saw the bed was made, there was a stack of comics in a corner and a open window but no Butch.
The kid left, Barbara thought as she walk over to the window. She didn't expect to see a silhouette of her adopted son outside of the window, courious she lean out the window a little and saw the green ruff sitting on the edge of the roof.
"What are you doing?" Barbara asked.
"Just... Remembering when dad use to show me the stars through his telescope... I kind of miss him," Butch said. After a moment of silence he turn to the blond, "can you please leave me alone, I want to be alone."
"I understand," Barbara said as softly as she could. At the moment she is beginning to understand Butch's actions of lately as she walked out of the room. "Hey," Barbara said, "if you need to talk I'm here."
"Thanks, mom."
