To celebrate my birthday (20/9) I'm uploading a new chapter, I hope you enjoy
Weapon
Normal POV
It was a cold and very foggy morning in Townsville, the fog was especially thick down at the docks as it rolled off of the bay, at this point only the most experienced or the stupidest fishermen set sail in fog this thick. Unfortunately even the most experienced fishermen couldn't prepare themselves from the new incoming threat that was about to strike, a boat that was out just beyond the mouth of Townsville Bay hauled in their nets for their first catch of the day.
The captain whistled at how many and how big the fish they had caught were "now that's what I call a good catch I say one more catch like that and we'll have our whole shipment done" he said happily with his men cheering
"hey captain do you see that?" one of the crew members stated while pointing in the direction of a shadowy object heading slowly towards them
"best shine the light at them to let them know we're here" the captain ordered, the crew member nodded and went to shine the light at them. As he did the men began to hear a calm soothing flute tune that echoed all around them, this was followed by the shadowy object becoming more defined so they could see that it was just a wooden raft with a sail and sitting in front of the sail was a figure.
"hello there, do you need a lift back to shore!?" the captain called out, the soothing music stopped instantly at that, "hello!?" the captain called out again, there was a brief pause followed by a whooshing sound and the next thing the captain and crew knew the ship was cut clean in half "what the hell?" the captain muttered in shock before he and the rest of the crew were forced to abandon ship by jumping into the icy cold water.
The crew began crying out for help at the unknown vessel heading towards them, they kept crying out for help until the vessel arrived, they tried to get on the flimsy raft with its sole occupant but as soon as they were just half way on they were sliced in half
"get off my raft" the figure whispered as the dead crew members slid back into the water, out of the 10 crew men from the ship only 3 were alive now frozen with fear at what happened, they then watched as the raft along with the figure on it disappeared back into the fog as the soothing music could be heard again before it too faded away.
Blossom POV
I was out doing my usual morning jog through Townsville, I loved cold mornings such as this, the cold crisp air was really refreshing as it filled my lungs. I tried to take a different path every morning instead of taking the same route every time, but throughout every jog I always go from one side of Townsville dock's to the other I did this because I loved the smell of sea air and it was also interesting to see what the fishermen actually caught around this area. Any way I was about to leave the docks when my super hearing picked up some cries for help out in the fog, I quickly used my x-ray vision and super vision and began searching around the bay. After about 2 minutes of searching I spotted a horrific site, I saw 2 men and 1 boy floating amongst 7 floating corpses I quickly flew down and grabbed them out of the freezing cold water and I took them to the hospital, not knowing how long they had been in the water for.
As they were recovering I decided to ask the main question on my mind "so what happened to you out there?" I asked calmly
"if demons really exist then we encountered one" the captain said
"what do you mean?" I asked he then told me exactly what happened to him and his crew. I was honestly surprised to say the least 'if whoever did this could slice a boat in half then we must be dealing with another super being...great, just what we need, another nutcase bent on taking over Townsville, as if Glacya moving here recently wasn't bad enough' I thought to myself before I left the hospital and headed back to the docks to see if I could find the one responsible for this. I did manage to find the raft which was now bumping up against one of the piers, to my surprise it was just made of bamboo tied together with vines with only a Japanese silk sail to propel it "wow hasn't this guy heard of planes" I asked as I pulled the raft out of the water, to my surprise I found the bamboo quite hard to break "wow this must be real high quality bamboo, it's harder than steel" I said as I broke off the mast, I then heard a loud beeping coming from the raft, I flew away just before the raft exploded with several large shards of bamboo embedding in my body "man that hurt, the owner of that must have really not wanted anyone to have it, oww" I said as I pulled a large shard of bamboo out of my arm before I began to do some searching around the area. After about ½ an hour of searching around the docks I headed to the police station to inform them to be on the lookout for a Chinese or Japanese person with a sword or some other type of bladed weapon. As I slowly flew over the streets of the town I watched most of the towns folk happily waving and cheering to me while I waved back at them, just when the police station was in my sights I felt a sharp prick in my neck before everything went black.
I woke up with a pounding headache while also very dizzy, I realised that I was hanging upside down by a rope that was tied around my ankles I also could feel my arms tied behind my back. I looked around and saw that I was in an old factory, I then tried to break free of the ropes but my arms and legs wouldn't move "what's going on here!?" I demanded, suddenly something dropped from the ceiling and landed in front of me. They were wearing a samurai helmet and a face mask so all could see was there eyes, they were also wearing armour which consisted of bladed metal plaques on their shoulders shins, forearms, and hands along with a breast plate on their chest with chain mail underneath.
"Well it's about time you woke up" they now said, realising that they were a girl
"who are you and why have you captured me!?" I demanded "and what have you done to my arms and legs?" I asked
"to simply put it by embedding throwing needles into the main pressure points in your arms and legs I have fully disabled them leaving you unable to break free of those ropes" she stated
"okay then, now my first two questions" I said
"you can call me Kyouki, and the reason I captured you is to make an example of you to show what I'm capable of" she said before she used her bladed armour to make two deep cuts on both of my cheeks and then two more cuts on the top of my head all of which hurt like hell. "Now the final touch" she said before she put a cloth over my mouth it was at this point that I realised what she was doing "there, now I shall go and inform your sisters of your current situation, I hope you don't fully bleed out by the time they arrive here" she said as a small pool of blood had started to form under me due to the blood in my body now rushing to my head.
Buttercup dream POV
I was in a kitchen washing some large pots in the sink, I looked out the window in front of me and saw chubby versions of me and Butch as we looked like when we were kids playing in the back yard with a Corgi "reminds you of us when we were kids huh?" a voice behind me said I turned around and smiled as I saw Butch standing behind me smiling only this Butch looked about 10-15 years older than the one I knew as a teenager and was about 1-2 thousand pounds heavier. I took off my gloves and floated over to him and wrapped my arms around his neck with my body lying almost fully on his belly due to how big it was
"yeah it does and I've got good news" I said happily
"and what's that?" he asked
"we're gonna have a new addition to the family in about 7-8 months from now" I said happily
"Buttercup that's awesome!" he said with a huge smile on his face "I love you Buttercup" he said
"I love you too Butch" I replied and we gave each other a passionate kiss before I felt a sharp pain in my butt.
Buttercup POV
My eyes shot open "YEEEOOWWWW" I screamed as I leapt out of my bed while holding my butt in pain, I looked behind me and saw that I had a kunai knife embedded in my butt. I painfully pulled it out and saw that there was a note on it 'if you want to save your sister Blossom from dying she is in one of the old warehouses at the docks and you'd better hurry or else' the note said, I flew out my window and flew to the docks as fast as I could. When I arrived I frantically searched every warehouse until finally I found her, I crashed through the roof and gasped at the sight there she was hanging upside down, as white as a sheet and a massive puddle of blood covering the floor, I quickly cut the ropes and turned her right side up before pulling the long needles out of her "Blossom! Blossom are you okay!?" I asked but I got no response I then picked her up bridal style and flew to the Rowdyruff Boys place to get her healed by Mike.
When I arrived I rang the doorbell and after 3 seconds of waiting a shirtless Brick opened the door "oh my god what happened!" he exclaimed in shock
"no time where's Mike?!" I demanded
"Mike get here!" Brick yelled into the house and in a second Mike appeared
he looked at Blossom and sighed "I swear healing you guys is pretty much the only thing I'm good for now" he said as he put his hands on Blossom and yellow waves came off of his hands, after a few seconds the colour returned to Blossom and she opened her eyes
"phew thank god, how did you find me?" Blossom asked as she got out of my arms and stood up
"I found a ninja knife thing with a note on it stuck in my butt" I said which made the others laugh, Mike then put his hand on my cut and healed it as the laughing died down. "Thanks Mike anyway who did that to you Blossom?" I asked
"a samurai named Kyouki, she used needles to knock me out and paralyse me" she replied
"wow she must be really good if she could take you down so easily" Mike said
"she just got lucky" Blossom stated before we heard the hotline in the Rowdyruff Boys house
Brick quickly zipped inside and came back out after about 40 seconds "the police are having serious trouble with a samurai in Townsville and they need our" he said
"then let's go I want to get some payback on that bitch" Blossom said and we all flew off to Townsville.
When we arrived we saw the samurai in question standing in the middle of the street with police and police cars blocking the road in front of her "this is your final warning drop your weapons and put your hands where we can see them" the chief called out through a megaphone.
The samurai pulled out both swords on her hips and crossed her arms in front of her with the blade's pointed up in the air, I then heard her mutter with my super hearing "shield" followed by "blur" before she shot at the police at amazing speed and was now on the other side of the blockade, she spun her swords and put them back in their holders, the second they were all of the police men and women fell to the ground now with large gashes on their chests followed by their cars falling to pieces before she walked off as if nothing even happened.
"Mike go heal the Police, Brick, Buttercup let's stop her" Blossom ordered which we did Blossom, Brick, and I landed in front of Kyouki making her stop
"I see you managed to save your sister in time, good for you" she said
"yeah and I'm going to beat you to a bloody pulp for what you did to me" Blossom stated
"try all you want I've mastered all 18 samurai fighting art skills and then some" she said before she pulled out a...chopstick? "I shale beat you all with ease" she stated as she pointed the chop stick at Blossom, Blossom then without a word flew forward and punched Kyouki right in the stomach
"looks like you just got lucky the first time" Blossom said proudly
"hehe y-your a f-fool" Kyouki said in quite a bit of pain before she jabbed Blossom multiple times with the chopstick Blossom's eyes then rolled into the back of her head before she fell to the ground.
"I struck all of her pressure points rendering her temporarily unconscious" Kyouki said, I responded by charging at her "shield" Kyouki said and I punched her right in the face...but she didn't even flinch. I then unleashed a barrage of punches at Kyouki but the only thing that I was able to do was make her slide back
"how can this not be hurting, I can turn a building to powder with one of these punches" I stated "simple I've mastered all 5 mystic techniques, 'shield' turns my whole body harder than diamond making me resistant to all attacks 'blur'" she said before she disappeared.
Brick POV
I watch as Kyouki reappeared behind Buttercup with her sword now raised, I zipped over and caught the sword when it was about an inch from Buttercup's back but the absolute second the sword touched my hand it felt like every cell in my whole body exploded all at once. I fell to the ground and began yelling in agony due too the amount of pain I was in "WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME!" I yelled at Kyouki
"the Shadow Strike a dark technique that makes every nervy in your body constantly register pain the second any weapon I'm holding makes contact with you" She said before Buttercup windmill kicked her in the face sending her flying back and crashing into a wall and landing in a slumped position. I managed to grin through the massive amount of pain I was currently in as her now crushed face plate fell off followed by teeth and blood coming out of her mouth, she then lifted her head so I could now see her very angry yet beautiful face
"hey sweetheart...you ready to...give up yet" I called out to her as she grit her teeth I could see that Buttercup had knocked out her two top front teeth and one bottom tooth "whoa I guess I should have called you cave mouth instead of sweetheart" I said proudly, she then stood up and threw ninja stars at me but Buttercup caught them
"hey your fight is with me now bitch" she said before she crushed the ninja stars in her hand. I watched Kyouki quickly get up she then ran at Buttercup now spinning nunchakus but Buttercup caught both nunchakus effortlessly and went to kick Kyouki in the but she dodged and caught Buttercup's leg.
I tried my hardest not to laugh as she tried to swing Buttercup around but she wouldn't move an inch "having a little trouble there?" Buttercup mocked before she sliced Buttercup's leg open with her bladed wrist guard. Buttercup yanked her leg out of Kyouki's grip and yelled in pain while holding it, I tried to get up to help but every movement I made only sent another excruciating wave of pain to wash over me. I then watched as she pulled out two blades and said "blur" I heard a slicing sound and saw Buttercup fly back with blood now coming out of a bleeding x on her torso
"BUTTERCUP!"I shouted, ignoring the massive amount of pain I got up and caught her before she hit the ground. She then got out of my arms and gave Kyouki a death glare before she flew at Kyouki and began repeatedly kicking Kyouki in the face and chest. Mike then flew in and swept her legs out from underneath her which was followed by them both hitting her in the chest with such force that she bounced up, I then zipped in and kicked her in the side sending her flying across the street and into the path of an oncoming truck. We all looked away as she was run over by the 18 wheel truck when we looked back to our surprise she was now gone
"damn it that bitch got away!" Buttercup said angrily
"'sigh' isn't that just the way, oh well at least we taught her a lesson" Mike said
"yeah but with her skills she shouldn't be taken lightly" I said before I zipped back over to my girlfriend and picked her up "hey Bloss, come on wake up" I said and shook her gently she stirred but she didn't wake
"amateur that's not how you wake her up" Buttercup said as she stood next to me before she slapped Blossom's face "wake up!" she yelled and Blossom opened her eyes, she then leapt out of my arms and tackled Buttercup to the ground
"I told you not to wake me up like that!" she yelled angrily
"and she lives" Buttercup said sarcastically before she knocked Blossom off of her
"so where's Kyouki?" Blossom asked
"oh after she knocked you out we beat her to a pulp, but unfortunately she escaped" Buttercup said casually
"I must admit for a normal human she's incredibly good, she might actually be a problem to us in the future" Blossom said
"yeah and if that happens then we can just beat her to a bloody pulp again" Mike said and I nodded in agreement before we heard a loud crash, we turned and saw a monster destroying buildings, we all gave a group sigh before we flew off to stop it.
Meanwhile
Normal POV
A very badly hurt Kyouki dragged her badly battered body into an ally, she had gotten caught under the truck and had been dragged along the road for about a mile until she had managed to free herself. She propped herself up against the wall of the ally and looked down sadly "I have failed my mission, I have dishonoured my family by losing a fight" she then pulled out a dagger and held it up to her neck "I must end my life for I can never return home with the shame I now carry"
"well how about instead of offing yourself why don't you come live with us?" a voice said Kyouki looked up and saw two monster looking girls, one of them was sitting on a closed dumpster in front of her and the other was hanging upside down from the fire escape. The one on the dumpster hopped off and walked over to Kyouki "hey I'm Glacya and this is my friend Vilespa" Glacya said as she extended a hand to Kyouki, looked at Glacya's hand unsuringly before she dropped the dagger and grabbed it
"Kyouki" she said with a small smile on her face.
