Fear is something that pushes you to the limit despite the aching sense of dread coursing through your entire body. Fear is something that activates the warning in your mind, reminding you that what your facing is dangerous and quite possible lethal. Fear is inescapable. It follows you wherever you go and appears whenever you face death itself.

Fear wasn't an emotion Butch felt.

It was the pure passion of fighting, and battle lust that pushed him to his very limit. The very knowledge that he was the lethal presence that sent fear coursing through every pore of your body. The fact that he was the inescapable person that had you begging on your knees with pure desperation. The last thing to enter your line of vision before death itself is the final word, yet not felt.

Fear is the only thing felt.

And Butch knew how to use it to his advantage. The title he carried wasn't that of a Rowdyruff boy, but something much stronger and more powerful then imagined. Something no one would mess with, or attempt to go near.

Manipulation goes hand in hand with fear. As you find yourself slowly being drowned in pure fright, the only thing to pull you out is something seemingly stronger than yourself. The only thing you have to rely on. Or so you believe.

Brick was a manipulator.

Using his knowledge of people to his advantage he can slowly bring them to there knees to a point where they beg for death on the spot. Then ever so slowly he begins to work through the mental barriers and break the bonds they hold with everyone else until they really fully on him and no one else. Weakening them to a point where he then pulls them out of the darkness and keeps them for his will. Using manipulation to get what he wants.

Letting fear keep them by his side.

Hate leads to revenge, and revenge leads to easy manipulative minds. With revenge being the only thing on your mind you leave everything else open for someone to break. Revenge is easily fulfilled, yet regret falls soon after and soon leads to fear. A fear of someone else's revenge against your own. And fear can be used to manipulate.

Boomer was the hate that fueled so many minds to revenge.

The pure anger pouring from his whole spirit. An anger that leads to destruction and forces others to do the same, leading to separation of families, and horrid arguments. A separation that brings more revenge and ends in only regret. Bringing entire cities to there knees and starting a new era to manipulation and fear.

An era not easily altered.

Managing to keep yourself from manipulation is a task hardly reached. Trust is something abused and keeps manipulation going. The only way out, is to find a way to keep yourself out of the darkness.

Which is the reason most don't find the light.

Fighting hate is equally as difficult. Revenge is a hard thing to resist and most cant find a peaceful way to forgive an forget.

Forgetting isn't what the city chose to do.

Which is the reason most families separated and destroyed each other.

Fear is something rarely beaten without practice. It keeps you from reaching goals and removing it from your life is more difficult then just learning to deal with it.

Which is the reason Townsville was in ruins.

And how the Rowdyruff boys managed to take it over so quickly.

And possibly the reason, the Powerpuff girls were no where to be found.
