Authors Note: Hi all, I hope you enjoy this fic. I'm trying a new style by extending my chapters a good length. I don't know whether or not to continue this, have a good day and take care!

The city of Townsville. In the usual chill autumn weather fall had only begun just a week ago. The leaves on the trees were beginning to fall off after their colours changed, leaving the trees completely bare, though the peace of the day was disrupted by the all too familiar scene at one part of Townsville.

"I swear, you must be stalking us," a voice rung out, an alarm blaring loudly from a bank that had been robbed in less than a few minutes. There were three young boys floating in the air in a glaring contest with a group of three similar aged girls.

"You're just really predictable," one of the girls responded. She was wearing a pink shirt that had black flower petals on it in random patterns, and she had very long orange hair that reached the entire length of her back, also dawning a red ribbon. She was Blossom, the self-proclaimed leader of the powerpuff girls. They were responding to a robbery that had been caused by their counterparts, the rowdyruff boys, who were created two years ago specifically to combat them. They had fought a lot and each battle felt tenser then the next, but all of them had ended in stalemates.

"Can ya blame us? We're bored" the rowdyruff leader, Brick, responded. He was wearing a red vest that had black flames on it, and he had messy orange hair with a red baseball cap over it. There was also a bandage on his cheek. He wasn't lying, they knew that much. The ruffs only started causing trouble for two reasons; father's orders or just sheer boredom, and they had trouble telling which was the bigger cause of damage to the city was lately.

"Why can't you just play a board game?" another girl quirked, having blonde hair done into two pigtails and wearing a blue dress that had black circles on parts of it. She was Bubbles, who tended to be the more timid of the triplets, but she could fight just as well as them. She couldn't deny her curiosity over why the rowdyruffs couldn't do anything else to cure their boredom, aside from making people scream and causing alarms to ring, which the boys considered fun. She could only see it as a big headache.

"You'd be amazed by how boring they are," another boy added, having spiky black hair and wearing a dark green coat that had a black skull on the front and back of it. He was Butch, the more aggressive of the triplets. He was hard to read at times, that unpredictability in battle granted him the ability to get a lot of cheap shots in. The conversation was normal, they always had some trade between one after another before a fight, like they were psyching each other up.

"Maybe a brain would help with that?" the last of the girls grinned, having a raven black hair that reached her shoulders in length, and wearing a light green shirt that had black stars on it. She was Buttercup, the more intimidating of the powerpuff girls. She didn't hesitate to start a fight and had a temper problem that she wasn't even ashamed of, though Buttercup made the lacking intelligence insult with her light green eyes on the last of the ruffs.

"Hey! Checkers is hard…" the boy growled, having messy blonde hair and wearing a blue leather jacket that had black stripes running vertically along it. He was Boomer, the not so intelligent of the rowdyruffs which often led his brothers, and occasionally the powerpuffs, to tease him because of it. Both groups decided they had enough chit chat, and they all flew at each other, leaving streaks of lights behind them before colliding. All of them scattered to fight in the air, three groups in pairs of two beginning to battle each other.

"Pretty weak. You aren't becoming lightweight on me, are ya?" Butch grinned. He had wound up being separated from the others. Blossom growled, being his opponent this time. Her eyes glowed bright red. She fired a bright ray of heat vision in an attempt to attack him from afar. The green rowdyruff quickly flew under it, charging right at her and throwing his fist into her face, knocking her back a good distance. He flew at her with a dark green streak of light behind him in an attempt to assault her again.

Blossom had a bruise on her cheek, seeing him come towards her. She thought quickly, putting up her guard and blocking a strong kick from him. She pulled back, kneeing his stomach. She raised both her fists up and slammed them down, making him fly downwards. She rushed at him, shining a pink trail of light behind her as she tackled him during his fall.

"What're ya doing?!" Butch growled, punching her once in the head, but he couldn't break out of her grips. She had her arms firmly tight on him as they were heading down fast. Blossom didn't respond, barely a half second later when they collided onto a rooftop, Butch landing back first onto the roof of an apartment full force. The powerpuff leader panted as she got up, seeing him lying there.

"I know you're awake," Blossom said. Her enemy groaned, letting out a painful cough. His chest hurt a lot, the head pain would go away in due time that was just from the punching, but he was worried he had attained a far more severe injury.

"I-I think you broke a rib…" Butch moaned in pain. Blossom felt guilty for causing that kind of harm, aware that it could have done a lot worse to him internally, but she had disabled him from fighting for now. If he was in this much pain, she hoped he wouldn't be able to fight now. She thought she could help her sisters out with the other two ruffs, though before she could move, she heard screaming.

"What's going on? The ruffs aren't causing any problems…" Blossom muttered, walking away from Butch, leaving him to lay there. She knew she had not crippled him, so he could flee when he felt able to. There was no point in jailing the rowdyruffs, as they always broke out. At the edge of the roof, Blossom looked down onto the streets, where she could see a nearby storage facility, the cries of fear leading her there.

"Did your dad send back up for you guys?" Blossom asked, wondering if the rowdyruffs' father had sent help. She saw an odd looking robot. It had a blue body with yellow lights for eyes, a golden fin running down from its head to its back. The robot had a regular build to it. Its joints looked connected by some gold coloured metal, but the robot itself was three times her size. The only weird thing with the robot was its left arm, which looked more like an odd bulb shape with no hand. The robot was nothing new to a powerpuff girl so far. Monsters and robots threatening the town randomly were a common occurrence, sadly, ever since they were five years of age.

"No… dad knows not to mess with our fights…" Butch coughed, looking at the damaged roof they were on. They had done a good bit of damage colliding into it. The rooftop was cracked and had a small crater in it. Blossom had to admit he was right about that. She knew their father, Mojo Jojo, would never send a robot to fight when the rowdyruffs were already in a fight. It was a matter of self-pride, that the ruffs needed to be the ones to fight with no aid.

"Just stay up here. Oh, and if you start coughing blood, seek help immediately," Blossom claimed if he started coughing up blood. If the possibly broken rib might have damaged a lung, it would be bad news for him. Butch hated being ordered around, especially by one of his enemies, but the robot was interrupting the fight that they were having, and now he was injured all because he had been careless. Blossom jumped off the side of the roof to get to the storage facility as fast as she could.

When Blossom got there, the civilians had already cleared out. The big robot had ripped open multiple of the storage units. She hoped her sisters would catch up with her, when and if they finished fighting with the boys. But this robot looked like it will be easy to deal with.

"Hey! You can't steal anything from here!" Blossom declared. She had never seen a robot like this before. It was odd in design, but it looked fairly well made. The light blue paintjob on it was complemented nicely by the gold coloured parts. The yellow eyes glowed eerily as it stomped, turning to face her. Its legs were normal, but the feet were two small spikes, looking to be made to handle any terrain it walked. Blossom knew she had to smash it to stop it. She could tell that the machine was just out to steal something, but had not found whatever it was looking for.

Blossom took in a deep breath before blowing hard, emitting an icy cold breath to freeze the robot. Ice began to cover the robot from head to toe as the area around it slowly began to go stiff in the freezing attack. After a few moments of using her ice breath, she had fully frozen the blue robot and the area around it.

"That was easy," Blossom smirked, wondering what the mechanical enemy had come for in the first place. She attempted to peek into one of the storage units that it had forced open. But behind her back, the ice on the robot was beginning to melt. It emitted a burst of steam from its arm. Blossom turned around, and her eyes widened. Everything felt like it slowed down in that moment. She saw it shatter the ice, and throw a punch at her side with its fist, sending her flying away and crashing into the side of a building.

"Owww…!" Blossom coughed, her vision slightly obscured by the rubble that had kicked up quite a mess of dust. She actually felt that rattle her body. It was like her super tough skin didn't matter to that machine's attack. That thought terrified her to the core. She felt an intense shockwave of pain overwhelm her. She looked at where the pain was coming from. She gulped in fear. Her right arm was impaled near the shoulder on a piece of rebar, blood covering the piece of metal. Her fearful gaze looked at the robot that was standing there, though she saw an antenna rising out of the side of its head like it was calling for something.

"Wh-what's happening?!" Blossom could hear a lot of noises that made her nervous, and any civilians around had cleared out when they saw the robot. A few other robots were crawling out of the storage facilities that had been, unknown to her until now, aiding in the search. However they were all about the same size as Blossom. They had bulb shaped bodies that were painted green, with golden coloured rings around them. Each robot had four legs attached to them. The gathered group of little robots were approaching her. The big robot had summoned them to its aid.

"N-no! Get off me!" Blossom kicked one away that tried to get close to her, but her arm throbbed in pain. She punched another away, but sadly the next one took advantage of her pain and lunged on her, pinning her good arm to the rubble she was stuck on. Another three of the tiny machines approached, about to attack, before suddenly, she saw someone come from above and jump on two of them, crushing them easily under their feet. Blossom was stunned to see Butch, who grabbed the one attached to her arm and pulled it off before spinning around, using it to smash the last one into broken parts, watching the metal fly and various parts explode out of them.

"B-Butch?" she said, shaken at the scene before her. Butch looked at her, he had one hand on his chest. He had his own fair amount of pain. He dropped the robotic leg he had been holding.

"You're gonna regret ruining our fight!" Butch shouted at the robot that had retracted its antenna. Blossom didn't know how to take this announcement. He only saved her because he wanted to be the one to fight her. She would never understand how villains thought. Frankly she hoped she never would. She didn't know what to do about her current situation, though. It was either rip herself off the rebar or break part of it off and have her father treat the wound. She hesitantly spoke up.

"C-can you help get this out of me?" the powerpuff leader reluctantly requested help. Butch approached her. The robot seemed slow but it appeared to be wanting to go back to its search like it had beat them. The black haired boy crouched down beside her.

"Uh… w-what do I do?" Butch asked, not sure how to handle the problem.

"Grab my shoulder and upper arm then pull!" she exclaimed what to do, starting to notice the robot approaching. Butch however felt that he shouldn't, afraid that he will just cause her a lot more pain.

"I-it'll hurt! You know…" Butch got cut off.

"Just pull!" she ordered. He closed his dark green eyes and did as he was ordered. He only heard the sound of what he could only describe as flesh being ripped off a hook, and Blossom's painful cry to go with it. He opened his eyes, seeing her holding the wound which still bled badly. It may have done serious damage to her.

"Ugh… don't let that robot touch you," Blossom advised. Butch wanted to offer help to stop the bleeding, but she already took over controlling her own medical help. She blasted the exposed wound with a ray of heat vision, burning the wound shut, in return that she singed her flesh with a burn mark.

"Get the other side, please," she requested him to hurry up. Butch did as he was told, burning the other part of the wound closed. She bit her lip, having to suffer through the red hot pain. Once he finished, they both got ready. With her arm being damaged and his chest hurting, they both had to tolerate their injuries for now. They had separate plans in mind on how to deal with the robot.

Butch made a blunt attempt to rush at the big robot, leaving a dark green streak of light behind him. He punched at the chest of the robot, but the only thing it did was slightly push it back. He kept punching and punching, but he was not causing any damage to the mechanical menace.

"What is this thing made of?!" the green rowdyruff growled. The robot raised its bulb arm back, letting out a burst of steam before it swung the arm like a heavy baseball bat. Butch ducked under it before seeing rays of heat vision strike it. Blossom was trying to be more ranged in the matter. She didn't want to get close to the enemy if she could avoid it. Her heat vision was hitting it directly in the head, but it was doing nothing but heat up its material.

"Nothings working!" Blossom admitted aloud. The robot had dug its hand into the concrete before throwing a slab of the hard ground at her. She kicked through it, breaking it into smaller chunks. Blossom was racking her brain for any ideas to try and deal with this. Butch had gotten away from the machine. She landed beside him having one idea in her head.

"You know energy projection, right?" she questioned, not recalling the ruffs' abilities, unsure if they had as many as the puffs did.

"Yeah, but I don't think it'll make any difference on it," he nodded, though he could tell by the look in her light pink eyes that she had an idea. They had angered the robot as it was beginning to approach them, each step stabbing its sharp spikes into the ground like they were made specifically to anchor it in place.

"Make a big ball around yourself! I've got a plan," she said. Butch was really getting irritated by being ordered around. He was only trying to help because that robot had put him in a foul mood. He obeyed, concentrating and making a dark green sphere of energy around his whole body. Normally they used energy projection for protecting themselves. He wondered what she had in mind.

"Can you let me in on this pla-ahhhhh!" Butch screamed. With a mighty kick, Blossom had launched the energy ball he was in forward like a soccer ball, sending him spinning and screaming the entire way. He crashed into the robot, bouncing off and making it stumble backwards. As the energy ball bounced into the air, she flew up and spun around, kicking him once more towards the robot. This attack was actually getting a reaction from the enemy. Butch barely hit the ground before she darted down behind him.

"Sorry, sorry!" she apologized, before kicking him once more, sending him spinning toward the robot once more. However the robot's bulb arm was aiming for him as it opened up, revealing three sets of huge sharp shards of gold painted metal within it. It caught Butch, and began closing, his energy shield beginning to crack. He was dizzy, unable to react. The wild ride had gotten the best of the poor ruff.

Blossom saw this, feeling panic and fear set in. She ripped a street light out and flew as fast as she could, jamming it into the robot's arm trap. It took a lot of effort, but she pried it open, Butch rolling out while his energy shield faded away.

"Ugh… I'm going to melt this thing to goop!" Butch got up. His chest pain was back but he was getting over the dizzy effect. The robot's arm reverted to the bulb shape. It looked ready to fight once more, but both of them were drained.

"Butch! We need to go…" Blossom stated, panting. She was running out of energy, and if one of them got grabbed by that robots deadly wrap within its bulb shaped arm, they were goners for sure.

"No! I'm not leaving 'til this hunk of junk is a part of the junkyard!" he stomped, not ready to leave yet.

"We're at our limit! It's either die now alone or leave with me!" Blossom reminded him that she had no intentions of staying any longer. This robot was too much. They handled the tiny ones it had summoned, but they were unable to beat the leader itself. Butch gritted his teeth, struggling to decide. He hated to admit it, but they were indeed going to lose this fight. They couldn't rely on hope that their siblings would find them here.

"Fine!" he threw his arms up. With that, they both flew off, leaving a pink and dark green streak of light behind them. He was following her lead, Blossom looking back at the robot. Its yellow eyes glowed ominously as it began to return to the storage facility.
