Two Warring Flowers (Me and Prue)

[gantzgun74]

It wasn't enough that Buttercup had flown through the portal that she and her sisters found inside Mojo's old lair. Really it wasn't enough that Blossom had decided to see what was on the other side herself earlier on.

No... What HAD been enough was the fact that after she went through the portal she immediately found herself blasting through a few walls before she finally stopped herself, more then pissing off a few of the occupants that occupied the rooms that said walls seperated. When she at last put on the breaks, she quickly found herself in a hotel room, that looked like it hadn't been through a war.

Putting it simply, the place was a mess, covered with scorch marks, craters, and there was a big gaping hole in the wall that opened the room to the world outside the hotel she was obviously in. "What the hell happened in here?" The girl muttered to herself. Hovering a second, she finally decided to land.

Clink!

Buttercup quickly looked down, having heard what appeared to be the sound of glass cracking, and found what appeared to be a picture frame. She barely noticed the walls she had just crashed through mend themselves, before she picked up the picture and took a close look at it.

Whatever picture had been in the frame previously was missing, though judging by the frame itself, which was embroidered with hearts and the like, it looked like the picture was likely treasured...

Oh but what did she care?

Dropping the picture frame, the girl took a quick look around. "Where am I?" Remembering the gaping hole leading outside, Buttercup quickly flew through and flew above the building known as the Hotel to have a better look. Void City was spread out in all of it's splendor...

"What is this place?" She growled a little. "And where the hell is Blossom?? You'd think she'd be closer to the portal she flew out of..."

[To explain simply, the room she came out of used to belong to one of my characters, but that's not the center of focus here now is it? XDDDDD]

[mugenginga]

So, to recap. Professor Utonium had decided she, Momoko, and Miyako needed to clean the Dynamo Z as punishment. Nevermind it was that stupid monkey's fault the Mayor of Tokyo City would have to run business from a different location for a few days. It wasn't like the city was slow with repairs, given the usual amount of collateral damage the Powerpuff Girls Z did. Then the Professor had decided to step out, and Peach had picked up on a large amount of black light activity. Next, they'd transformed and Momoko had decided they needed to take Dynamo Z out for a flight. All of that was fine and dandy, nothing out of the ordinary.

Then they'd reached Mt. Fuji. That extinct volcano Him had kicked into activity because He so hated the cold. That and it was a good way to cause massive destruction. She couldn't argue with that. Any illusion of normalcy had been lost when the stupid machine had frozen up. Frozen up in the air meant quickly falling. Blossom and Bubbles had begun to panic like the girls they were, while she had gotten around to beating on the side of the stupid robot with her hammer. First Blossom had vanished, and then Bubbles had. She, Powered Buttercup, finally managed to bust a hole in the side of the stupid thing just in time to see a massive black thing beneath her and get dragged down inside.

The amount of time she had to recap was the amount of time she'd had the sensation of falling. It in fact bordered frightening. The sensation of falling had been the only sensation she'd had for sixty seconds. She knew it was sixty seconds because she was good with time. Probably came from years of watching sports and getting a feel for when that buzzer was about to go off. In any case, all the other senses rammed her upside the head like her own oversized hammer as she came out of the portal above the Hotel, going just a little fast.

That just a little fast would be a blur to most. She crashed through the roof of the hotel, finding her fall more free than it should be. There was no hesitation about still being in her transformed form. After all, she had the giant hammer still. But the fall didn't appear to be coming under control any time soon. She might have facepalmed if it weren't for the inertia after about the fifth floor of the very large building she crashed through.

Powered Buttercup didn't notice the other green themed teenager as she crashed through her floor less than an inch in front of her feet. If Buttercup wasn't too busy being surprised at the crashing, she'd note quite a bit of green light was coming from the other girl's feet. Powered Buttercup had begun to apply some reverse thrust. Finally, four floors down from where she had passed the American girl, she managed to apply enough force to come to a stop. By some luck, no one happened to be in that room. Powered Buttercup stumbled to a landing and sat down hard on a chair in the room.

"Where the hell...?" she said to herself in a low growl, looking a little bit dizzy.

[gantzgun74]

Buttercup was taken aback by the fact that something that looked green suddenly streaked past her before crashing right through the roof of the hotel, and was continuing to crash through floor after floor after floor downwards in the odd looking hotel.

After a second of looking down into the hole, she pulled back when one last crash sent dust flying back up through the hole. After that was done, she slowly looked back into the hole again; wow... Whatever that was it crashed through five floors. That's pretty impressive. After a second, she groaned. "I'd better go see what that was..." She wasn't really fond with the idea since she'd rather be out searching for her sister, but, well, life of the super hero and all...

After taking a second, she jumped down the hole, and proceeded to fall the five stories down, before using her powers of flight to keep her from crashing on the floor of the fifth floor down. "Anyone here that crashed through the roof-"

She stopped dead in her tracks when she took notice of the person that looked like her look-alike sitting on a chair not too far off.

[mugenginga]

Powered Buttercup had been back on her feet the instant she saw movement. She'd hit stunned well before her American counterpart had. It was almost amusing, her just standing there, an oversized hammer to her side, jaw gaping as Buttercup spoke before cutting herself off. And so they stood there for a few moments, just staring. The other girl had a white aura. Why did the other girl have a white aura!? There'd only been four of those stupid lights according to the Professor, and they were all accounted for!

She jerked her hammer into the air, quite literally sending it several feet above her. She caught it by the handle on the way down and took a rather threatening posture. Powered Buttercup glared at Buttercup.

"Who or what the hell are you!?" she demanded.

(OOC: I don't know if Buttercup can speak Japanese, and its probable translation is one of the PPGZ' powers even without the Island. In any case, if she can't, she'd still realize that Powered Buttercup is speaking very informally aka rudely.)

[gantzgun74]

[I'm just assuming that the island translates for it's people, so no worries there.]

Now Buttercup was a lot of things, but an idiot wasn't among them; she knew rudeness a mile away. Her glare narrowed at the question, before she cracked her knuckles. "Who am I? Who the hell are you?!"

She entered her own stance, looking ready to scrap at that moment. "Okay, I see people who dress up like us in Townsville..." She took a close look at the copycat. "But I don't think Halloween isn't for a few more months, so what are you doing dressed up as ME?!"

[mugenginga]

(OOC: No no, I don't mean rude in an American context. XD Japanese has several levels of formality. Miyako/Rolling Bubbles, for instance, tends to speak rather formally. Dark Bakura from Yu-Gi-Oh! speaks very VERY informally and Dark Yuugi/Atem has a rather rude (but not as rude) was of speaking a well. Powered Buttercup is probably around Dark Yuugi/Atem's usual way of speaking. Her self pronoun is the "strong" (sometimes called arrogant) masculine pronoun of "ore". Same self pronoun Atem, Kaiba, and most of the cast of Yu-Gi-Oh! use. Yuugi and Bakura are more exceptions than not. XD)

Powered Buttercup blinked. Halloween? Was this girl on something!? She didn't drop her stance. In fact, she tightened her grip on the hammer and managed to narrow her eyebrows even more.

"What the hell are you talking about!? And what the hell is Townsville!? I'm Buttercup of Powerpuff Girls Z! You're the one whose dressed like me, not the other way around!"

Powered Buttercup was never one to care about technicalities such as this girl's white aura. Here she was, who knews where. With a copycat, although there were a fair few differences with the hairstyle. And the girl had the gall to say she was the copycat? She was stuck in a skirt and was being harassed for her style!?

(OOC: They refer to each other by their shortened names in the show, so she's doing so here. Confusion is go. XD I'm not thinking we'll need the spider due to these twos' people skills.)

[gantzgun74]

Buttercup looked VERY confused at what this butch girl was talking about, but getting INCREDIBLY more angry as time went on. “WHAT?!?” But of course, if anyone knew Buttercup well, they’d pretty much know that such was to be expected. “I’M the copycat?!?!? HAH!! Keep dreaming, fan-girl!!!” She, of course, was brought back to what the girl said earlier. “And what the HELL is the Powerpuff Girls Z?!”

She thought a moment, before smirking. “Oh that’s REAL original; I mean, what? Do you think your little gang of groupies are instantly better then me and my sisters because you add on ONE letter?”

Such a thought sent Buttercup into a laughing fit. “HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!! HOW’S THAT for delusional?!?”

Yes, she learned the word ‘delusional’ from Blossom… So sue her. XD

[mugenginga]

By this point Powered Buttercup had taken quite enough abuse. There were a lot of things the other girl was saying she could probably trip over. Lots of things that she been one of the more level headed members of her team, she might have. Being called a fangirl, being called a copycat of someone wearing a skirt, the fact the other girl seemed to not know her but knew there were others... being called a fangirl. That one got a slight response in the form of a shudder.

But in any case, Powered Buttercup was not level headed. She tended to attack first, ask questions later. As far as she was concerned, she'd been remarkably patient up until now but she had quite frankly had enough. Adjusting the grip on her hammer so she was holding it a bit higher up, she suddenly launched off the ground. The only reason Buttercup would even have a chance of dodging the near rocket launch shot forward and swung hammer was due to her own superspeed. If the American teenager wasn't too busy being pissed, she'd notice the Japanese girl was flying just like her... complete with a glowing green trail coming from the bottom of her shoes. The only sound she made as she shot forward was some kind of infuriated primal scream.

[gantzgun74]

Thankfully, Buttercup heard the primal scream in the midst of her laughing fit. Well of course she was surprised that this girl was going every bit as fast as she could, but what surprised her even more was the fact that she could tell this next attack was going to hurt quite fairly if she DIDN’T MOVE RIGHT FREAKING NOW.

“WHOA!!!!” Buttercup instantly zoomed out of the way, as the Hammer came down and hit the floor, not only making a HUGE hole but also making a shockwave that shook the hotel. As for Buttercup? She was BEYOND reconciliation at this point. “WHAT??!? DID YOU TAKE SOME CHEMICAL X JUST TO MATCH?!?!?!?!?” She cracked her knuckles; okay, if she took Chemical X that would mean this fight was fairly even…

Should be fun.

As Powered Buttercup yanked up her hammer, she would likely see Buttercup flying at her at top speed, going in for a powerful shoulder barge.

[mugenginga]

Powered Buttercup shot her own hammer up as Buttercup attempted to ram her. The result was that Buttercup's attack would his, but it would hit the flat part of her Japanese counterpart's hammer. The dodge was well centered, Buttercup's shoulder impacted with the exact center of the green P emblazoned weapon. There was enough force behind it that Powered Buttercup was sent flying through the wall behind her. She threw the wait of the hammer around to bring her flight to a stop. She shook off the bits of rubble sprinkled over her body.

"Chemical X is yesterday's news! I get my power from Chemical Z!" Oddly enough, Powered Buttercup had a slightly amused smirk. She shot towards her opponent, enlarging the hole she had gone through. About five feet from the girl she let out another shout, "Hurricane Lutz!"

She began to spin at a speed comparable to a cyclone. In fact, the green blur she created looked exactly like a cyclone, and there seemed to be a level of guidance to it. If Buttercup dodged once, Powered Buttercup would guide the spinning towards her for one more try. She'd be a little dizzy after that, though.

Needless to say, more of the Hotel was getting smashed up as a result.

[gantzgun74]

As the attack went on, it was fair to note that Buttercup wasn't afraid of the attack...

If anything, she was MORE ANGRY THEN EVER. NOW this faker was imitating one of her OWN ATTACKS?!? "Oh so you wanna be THAT way HUH?!?" She appeared to reel back, "Well TWO can play at that game, fangirl!!"

Almost immediately Buttercup herself started spinning around, looking like a dark green tornado herself. Most of the time, this attack was used more for defense then Offense, but it would serve it's purpose here. The two tornadoes clashed, the sheer force causing some of the floors of the hotel to fall in on themselves.

Regardless, it was pretty much safe to say that people were evacuating the building at this point, some annoyed as hell, some rejoicing at the thought that this dimensionally distorted piece of Hell was finally being brought down by, what people thought was, a few demolition experts.

[mugenginga]

Powered Buttercup had accounted for several reactions. A dodge, a hit that did damage, a hit that didn't do much, even some kind of return attack. Not that kind of return attack. As previously covered, the two tornadoes crashed into each other. The spiralling motion threatened to wrap together, but Powered Buttercup had a slight momentum difference due to her hammer. Applying a fair bit of reverse thrust, a beam of green light rocketed out of her shoes and she shot backwards out of the hotel via an outer wall. She wobbled in the air a bit, but regained balance quickly.

She brought her hammer in front of her, ready to block the expected attack back. However, she wasn't one to be quiet about it, "Quit copying me you freak! And how do you even know about Chemical X! Don't tell me you robbed Professor Utonium!"

........yeah, she just said Professor Utonium.

[gantzgun74]

When the Japanese teen flew backwards, and through the wall, Buttercup was grinning widely; well, that attack certainly psyched her out...

But, of course, this was followed by Buttercup getting psyched out HERSELF when she heard what Powered Buttercup said. Okay, sure, Professor Utonium was a well known man; creating her and her sisters can do that to a guys rep. But even so, the way she said it, it was almost like this girl knew absolutely NOTHING about that.

So of course, Buttercup reacted about as well as one would expect.

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?" Oh yeah, there was no denying it, she was even more pissed now then ever before. In essence, what Powered Buttercup had said had not only confused her but brought up bad memories. Once upon a time, she and her sisters HAD stolen Chemical X from their father before, but it was for the sole purpose of helping Townsville. They were too innocent and naieve at the time to know that the person they were stealing it for didn't have the town's best interests at heart. And then there was a time after that, when an old friend of the prof's wanted to start a Powerpuff Girls Franchise.... Of course, THAT venture went south REAL fast, and the girl's nearly died as a result.

Regardless, maybe it would've been a good idea if the Japanese teen hadn't said that.

"I DID NOT FRIGGEN STEAL CHEMICAL X..!!!!!! AND I ESPECIALLY WOULDN'T STEAL IT... FROM MY OWN DAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The shock of what the girl just said would've been enough, to keep her from reacting to Buttercup flying faster then the Japanese teen could see, and landing a powerful kick, complete with dark green energy projection for extra kick, which sent her flying through maybe up to five floors of the building right next to the Hotel, taking out a few bathrooms, bedrooms, before she landed square into a couch, snapping it in half.

[mugenginga]

Powered Buttercup didn't completely drop her guard. There was almost no force in the world that could do that, the girl was well known for her skills in sports for a reason. But she came darn close, far closer than probably 99% of the world could manage. The flip out was a bit much, but it hadn't bothered her. The dad bit, however? Yeaaaaaah.

The result was that she was able to have the hammer in the way of the kick, which lead to it flying back and smashing her in the face. The momentum sent her rocketing backwards at an angle. If one were to straight out all the impacts, the Japanese girl had probably flown backwards the equivalent of two football fields, and that was with the building's many floors slowing her down a bit.

The couch didn't really have a chance, poor thing. In perhaps the only thing that had gone right for the entire city in regards to the fight, no one seemed to be home. Powered Buttercup literally span in a circle on one leg before faceplanting on the ground. A few thoughts clicked into place as she wobbled to her feet and took to the air again. Why was the best explanation something that the crazy sentai otaku would have come up with...?

In any case, she smashed her way out of the floor she was on. She looked around and quickly found Buttercup, flying out of the way of any attack that might come. She slung her hammer over her shoulder and held out her hand, palm up. The gesture she gave was something Buttercup might know, being used by a certain character from an American movie known as The Matrix.

"Hey, Mirror Buttercup! You should know it'll take more than that to keep me down!"

The insult would serve several purposes. For one, it was an insult. Two, it was entirely possible she was wrong with her guess. In fact, she kind of hoped she was. If her opponent really was her double from some screwed up mirror universe, it meant that Blossom's screwed up fandom had actually helped. She had a feeling she'd be able to tell from the reaction, it wasn't like either of them had given their names. Really though, she couldn't think of any other reason why the Professor would be her copy's dad. The thought of that being the same way for her was awful! Who wanted a professor for a father when yours was a professional wrestler!?

[gantzgun74]

The insult led to two different ends; 1 it confused Buttercup. and 2?

Well, let's just say it did the job.

"MIRROR Buttercup?!?!? WHY YOU-!!!!!!" She instantly started flying back, looking properly pissed. "THAT'S IT!!!!! I'm GONNA KICK YOUR BUTT SO HARD, ANY AND ALL FAKERS LIKE YOU ARE GONNA FEEL IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

She emphasized this by firing out a burst of pure green energy; and even if that was deflected, Buttercup would be a few inches behind it foot outstretched and glowing with green energy.

"BUTTERCRUSH KICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
