Buttercup winced as she saw the incoming attack, instinctively tensing her body for the blow as she was taught in the monastery. Princess wasn’t the only one with some formal training. Unfortunately however, it didn’t look like training was what mattered in this instance as the sheer power of the impact breached Buttercup’s defense, causing her to buckle in pain as the wind was knocked out of her, only for the follow up strike to send her right back through the Pokey Oak’s roof.<br/><br/>Dazed, the jade Powerpuff shakily straightened herself up and rose from the crater, again, ever the sucker for punishment. With a cough she faced her opponent once again and grinned, “Is that all you’ve got…<em>Princess</em>.”<br/><br/>Taking a fist into her free hand, she cracked her knuckles in anticipation, unwilling to allow the last attack to go without reply. Still grinning Buttercup gathered what power she could and, with a single burst of speed, blinked out of sight as she dived straight for her opponent; the aim of her attack to catch her in a tackle and slam her into the ground or, at least, the nearest wall. If she succeeded in the former she’d waste no time in straddling her opponent and unleashing a volley of powerpuff punches.
