Hyper Blossom looked really annoyed. She had her hands on her hips again, and her upper body thrust forward. She actually formed a bit of a v-shape as her feet were forward too. Blossom would be able to see the pink raised area on the bottom of her shoes. The Japanese superheroine was about to rant some more when Specter's attack hit her, pushing her to the side. She jerked her head towards the monkey...s.
She blinked a few times and then her head went straight to the ground, and she grinned as if she'd just won some kind of championship. The attack came at that moment, and she looked surprise. With her own superspeed abilities, she managed to shoot a few more feet into the air. The attack passed just underneath her. She lifted her yo-yo and shouted to Blossom without looking at her.
"Run a distraction for me! The real one is the only one with a shadow!"
She was, after all, most used to working in a team. If the odd copycat could run interference, maybe they could take the bad monkey down. Hyper Blossom was convinced the other girl was on the side of justice. After all, she had a white aura and the only ones beside herself that had them were Peach and the other Powerpuff Girls Z. Of course, it was possible Blossom wouldn't take well to being reduced to interference. It wasn't like Hyper Blossom didn't cause issues insisting she was the "leader" of her own team, after all.
(OOC: I hope this is okay Gantz. Its a common method used in shows to find the real among the illusions. XD)

Rico watched the events unfold, unsure what to do to figure out which Specter was real other than telepathy... Though given what a powerful psychic Specter obviously was, he'd probably be able to fool him...
Then the Japanese Blossom said it. Oh, duh! he thought, mentaly kicking himself.
((Poor Rico's feeling a little useless right now. XD; ))

Blossom bit her lip. Well... whatever defeated this manic monkey would do, right? This was no time to debate leadership ethics; any plan was a good plan! Espeically if it involved teamwork.
"You got it!" With that, she darted in dangerously close to the Spectors, flying in pink swirls around them and dodging shots.

All of the Specter's quickly looked down, and realized the same as Hyper Blossom; only ONE of them had a shadow. What was revealed to be the REAL Specter growled angrily. "So what if you saw through it?!? Good luck hitting me!!!" He and the illusions pushed a multitude of buttons, before missile launchers were revealed. Sure there was only one real set of missiles, the rest being tricks of the light, but unless someone kept a REAL close eye on the missiles that the real Specter shot, it would be difficult to dodge the missiles that counted.
From where she was watching on the ground, Leona gulped. "That doesn't look good..."
Quickly, she reached into a backpack on her back, and pulled out the book she had shown Rico only minutes before, flipping through pages at a mad-dash pace. She really hoped to find what she was looking for. She wanted to help!
[Again, my apologies Prue. I hope you aren't too angry with me. XD]

(OOC: Sorry for the delay on the post here, folks! Been sick (either cause being female sucks, a cold, or both) on top of everything else in RL, so yeah... anyhow, here it is! Also, when Hyper Blossom refers to Bubbles and Buttercup, she is referring to Rolling Bubbles and Powered Buttercup. She thinks of them by their "nicknames". Just to let you know and hopefully avoid confusion.)
Was the monkey getting upset? Hyper Blossom was pretty focused on the situation at hand now. She had someone helping her, which was a huge help considering how used she was to having Bubbles and Buttercup. Bubbles could have done great on the missiles with her attacks, and Buttercup could have probably just sent them away with that spinning attack of hers. In any case, even one person helping was great.
She began moving her yo-yo hand at a rate any normal human would have trouble keeping track of. Even super humans or heroes would only barely see more than a blur. The yo-yo went in and out several times, and managed to pass through the fake missiles and hit the fired ones. This caused the latter to explode, causing a fair amount of collateral damage and a few missile pieces falling on anyone near enough to the fight to get caught in it. This unfortunately included Rico and Leona.
Hyper Blossom grabbed her hair bow and in a flash it became something more like an oddly shaped boomerang. She grabbed it off her hair and threw it at the real Specter, which she could still see thanks to the shadow. If things went as she wanted, he'd dodge. Considering how fast the copycat was going and where she'd aimed the "bowmerang", Specter really only had one direction left to go. Hopefully he'd take it and she could tangle him up in her yo-yo.
(OOC: Its possible she missed a missile if you wanted to say she did. Also, feel free to have the shrapnel cause more than simple collateral damage, like falling towards poor Rico and Leona. XD)

Reacting instinctively when he saw one piece of missile heading straight for him and Leona, Rico threw up the best shield (that's the non-PSI variety, mind you) he could muster, drawing close enough to Leona that it would cover her, too. While the shield managed to protect them, anyone who checked on Rico after that could easily see the impact still had a strain on the psychic.

(uuggggghhh sorrrrrrryyyy final revieeeeeeeeewssssss DDDDDDX)
"Hey!!" Blossom gaped at the destruction around her, zapping any loose missiles with her laser vision before they could strike any innocent bystanders. "Be careful with all the people around! We gotta take this monkey out, but not by hurting civilians too!!"

Leona screamed typically and hit the floor, covering her head. When Blossom and Rico stopped the debris from falling down on them, she lifted back up, looking terrified beyond rational thought. "W-whoa!"
Specter meanwhile, wasn't through yet however. "You think your so smart? Well let's see you try this!!"
Suddenly the Specter Illusions completely surrounded the two Blossom's laughing like maniacs. "YOU'RE MINE NOW!!! PSYCHIC DISCHAR-"
Before he could finish that battle cry, and let loose an explosion of energy from his holograms, (He has, so far, shown that the holograms could fire out energy beams) an odd looking, glowing 2-D Rune appeared before Specter.
"Wh-what the-?"
POW!!!!!
Before firing out a beam of pure non-elemental energy, that probably felt roughly like getting slammed by a Powerpuff fist head-on, though not to that extreme.
"GYAH!!!" Specter recovered quickly, though he was quite pissed, blood starting to trail from his lips. "WHO-?!?!"
"Sentellia ororo RAYTILITIA!!!"
Even more of the 2-D runes appeared out of thin air, surrounding Specter. The monkey was pretty surprised at this before forming a barrier, which caused the ensuing lasers to ricochet around the ITS.
Finally Specter found the cause, looking down...
Poor Leona looked scared to death, seeing Specter glare down at her; with her book in hand, and her hand pointed outward like she had cast a spell... Which she did, in all honesty.
"WHY... YOU... LITTLE..!!!!!!!" Oh the monkey was REALLY SEETHING now.

(OOC: Gantz, you seem to have missed my Blossom throwing her "bowmerang" at Specter. I can use the shield as the excuse for why it doesn't hit, but try and keep a better eye open, okay? I'm not upset. :3
A lot of things were happening at once, as they tended to in a fight. The runes had begun to smash into Specter when Hyper Blossom's bowmerang was about halfway to the white monkey. The odd copycat (she couldn't be from a mirror universe, she obviously wasn't evil!) had handled pieces of falling debri and criticized her for collateral damage. She barely noticed either though, her focus on making sure her weapo hit its target. When the runes began to bounce off Specter's shield, she actually suspected the next result, although not to the specificity in which it occurred.
The bow crashed into the shield, causing a wave of energy to pass through it. Had the shield even been bullet proof glass, the bow would have imbedded itself in it but not gone through. However, it wasn't glass, so while the bow threatened to pass through it, it fell short. It then repelled and shot backwards. Hyper Blossom jerked to the side as it shot past her faster than she had thrown it and imbedded itself into a nearby building. Alright, the kid gloves had to come off now. People were in danger and the usual methods weren't working. If only Blossom and Bubbles were here....
Hyper Blossom's hand began to spark with energy that seemed almost electric. Even those without superpowers would realize her right hand, which held the yo-yo, was glowing with a white aura. On the odd chance Blossom could sense things like radiation, she'd realize something close to but more powerful in basic energy to Chemical X was fuelling the reaction in Hyper Blossom's hand. The Powerpuff Z flew backwards several feet and then began to do what seemed to be little more than a rapid fire yo-yo trick... except each time the yo-yo shot forward, a ball of electrified white light energy about double the size of the yo-yo would fire towards Specter. After all, the bow had seemed to almost get through the shield... if she could just overwhelm it.
"Get ready to attack!" Hyper Blossom shouted to Blossom, her tone indicating that she was having to concentrate for her technique. Hopefully it would be clear when the shield fell. Hopefully the shield would fall...

Rico slowly started pulling himself up as he caught Leona pull out that old book and cast some sort of spell from it. He just managed to witness the result and knew easily that Specter was now pissed. For the most part, he'd recovered from the impact of debris on his (now gone) shield, but in all the excitement, he hasn't even realized until he put a hand to his forehead, how badly he was burning up. When did I start feeling this feverish? he wondered.

"Whoa!" To be honest, this was the first time Blossom had seen ancient magic for herself. She remembered Gantz telling her how powerful the ancient texts tended to be; now she knew what he meant!
They did their job well, along with the copycat's attacks; Spector looked like he was on the ropes. And he couldn't hold that force field forever!
The Powerpuff drew back tautly, like an arrow in the bow, her fist pulling back...
...and the second she saw that barrier drop, she launched herself at Spector like a missile.

Specter was about to take his rage out on Leona when he saw the oncoming attacks from Hyper Blossom. Focusing his barriers was an easy job, but he had to admit, the attacks were tough enough to make him wince; the mental strain was really starting to hit him now. Specter was a super genius, and a powerful psychic, but even HE had his limits. Offensive Psychic attacks were one thing, but defensive was something else entirely.
It was with that in mind, that fear creeped in him when his barrier suddenly dissapated...
WHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Specter, predictably, spat up blood at the hit before he and his throne crashed into the pavement several feet away, crashing though a Taco cart all the while, getting the beans all over his white albino fur.
The monkey in the white labcoat and goggles looked otherwise terrified at what had just occured. "UKI UKI!!!!!!"
Leona sighed a little, as she dusted off her magic school uniform. "Phew... I'm glad we won..." She turned to Rico as she said that. "Right Ric-" Her eyes widened with concern. "Rico! Are you okay?!"
As she checked up on the boy, Specter slowly pushed himself up to his feet, taking deep breaths, trying his best not to strain the broken ribs too much. He was gonna need a medic after this was over. "Grrrrrr... You little brats..." One had to give Specter this, he just didn't know when to quit.
[One thing you need to know about Specter, this version of him is so far into the Ape Escape Continuity, that it's reached the point where Specter has his Peak Point helmet permanently latched onto his head. So trying to remove it will be nothing short of futile. Just making sure you guys know.]

(OOC: Oooh, thanks for letting us know! Won't necisarrily stop Hyper Blossom from trying, but now it'll be on the rule of Dramatic Irony.)
A few more balls of energy had flown even after the shield dropped. For a moment Hyper Blossom worried if the girl with the same theme color would get hit by them, but she couldn't really guide them once they were out of her yoyo. To her relief, the not only dodged the attacks, but seemed to use the extra movement to allow her speed to pick up more. It allowed quite the hit on the monkey, to the point that the Powerpuff Z even winced. He had even spit up blood. The black light monsters never did that! Even Him would have been give a run for his money with a hit like that!
Hyper Blossom whirled around as she heard Leona ask Rico about his condition. Her eyes widened as well. She'd been aware of his help, although not quite sure what to make of it. She tended to not use her full strength in fights, but she'd hit rather focused here and allowed the help. As it was now, though, Rico looked problematic. She'd seen that before, it was a really bad fever. If she remembered the one time Kuriko had gotten that sick, it seemed to be trying to break.
"Can you handle the cleanup!" Hyper Blossom said, her words not really a question.
She flew down towards Rico and Leona with typical speed of any universe's Powerpuff. The pink light drew back into her shoes as she approached the ground, which she hit running and ran over to the pre-teen boy. She put her hand on his forehead and drew back with a hiss. She jerked to Leona.
"He's got a really high fever! I think it's breaking but he shouldn't be outside! Let me get him somewhere safe!" She said to Leona.
(OOC: Going on the theory that fevers are at their worst right before they "break", or at their peak before they start subsiding. Also using my knowledge of Mother 3 to support this, as the fevers always come before what I highly suspect you're planning. XD)

Rico quickly stood straight, but the quick motion caused him to wobble a bit and sent a chill down his spine. "I'm fine, guys, really..." He forced a smile to try to reassure them, though he probably wasn't fooling anyone.

(...I'm sorry, Gantz. You mentioned tacos... you know I have to do it.)
"NOOOOOOOOOO!!![/b]" a new voice caterwauled, its owner collapsing by the destroyed taco stand, sobbing quite loudly. "HOW COULD YOU DEFACE THE GLORIOUS TACO STAND!?!?" The orange marsupial grabbed Spector and shook him back and forth, sobbing into his coat quite messily, tears, boogers and all.
Blossom made a face at the scene, shaking her head. It didn't look like Spector was going anywhere, especially was his new 'pal' holding him in place, so she quickly began to zip around, cleaning up the mess around the ITS with impressive efficiancy.
