Author's Note: Alright my first fan fiction. I'm a bit new to the author game, so be easy on me, but be a critic about my story. If you like this chapter I will continue with my story and soon I will ask my reviewers for some of their ideas. Until that time enjoy the story. ;)

Beginnings: The Four Researchers

On an island, 300 miles of the shore of Townsville Bay, Professor John Utonium, and four colleagues of his; Dr. Hector Igor Moore, Dr. Morris Joseph Johnson Jones, his cousin, Professor Pravis Lymon Utonium, and Dr. Yusuke Katahiko were hard at work on a top secret project on different chemical compounds for the CIA.

A few weeks ago, Prof. J. Utonium had perfected a new chemical. He had no idea what to call it, so just settled for naming it Chemical X. Since then, he's conducted research on what this new chemical could do. Dr. Moore was busy making nuclear weapons with small weapons such as assault rifles. Prof. P. Utonium was mixing chemicals trying to come up wit the perfect healing solution. Dr. Morris had been making all kinds of new machinery. He had a thing for robot schematics. As for Katahiko, he was silent about his work. He helped Prof. John with the creation of his new chemical. Once John had finished it, Katahiko went off to do his own studies. He would work late hours for the next few weeks and kept to himself.

After a month of work, the five researchers had called a meeting to discuss how far along they were with their projects. They all sat down in the lab's lobby to review their findings. Dr. Morris and Hector's work was no surprise to Utonium. His cousin's work had shown much progress. His animal test subjects all shown each severe wound cured as if nothing harmed them. But half of those subjects died after the wounds healed. Eventually, John began to elaborate on his work. He told his colleagues that the chemical had properties of his cousin's healing solution, but there were other small details that he could not explain.

A thought had occurred to Dr. Morris about the new concoction. "John, how do you think this new chemical of yours will affect humans?"

"Well I do have a theory," the professor replied. "If possible, it could change the human DNA structure, heighten the senses, enhance the muscle features, sharpen reflexes, and probably other small mutations."

"So, do you think it will? Have you tested it yet?"

"Unfortunately, I can't find test subjects to find that out."

"I know that this chemical can do that," Dr. Katahiko said. "In fact, I have test subjects and the notes for my discoveries."

"What are talking about, Katahiko?" Dr. Hector questioned. Katahiko said nothing. He got up and motioned for his colleagues to follow him.

"Where are we going?" John asked.

"You'll see."

John was eager to see what his partner had been working on since he started working on his own project. Katahiko lead his fellow researchers down a long hallway to a room neither of them saw a day since they began working at the lab. He then turned on the lights. When the lights illuminated the room, the researchers were surprised at what was in the room. They saw eight containers with kids, no more than twelve, asleep in a liquid. On one side there were four blondes, and on the other, four raven-haired kids slept

John was the first to speak, "Katahiko, what is this?"

"The night you perfected the chemical was the night these kids were injected with a dose of it," Katahiko stated. "When we first began working, I discovered ways to create girls and boys. At first, you'll laugh at this; I made the first set of girls by using sugar, spice, and everything nice. Then, I used snips, snails, and a puppy dog's tail when I made the first set of boys."

All of the researchers burst into fits of laughter at this comment. "Wow, and it actually worked, too," Prof. P. Utonium replied. "I'm impressed."

"Yes, but moving on. After I made them I wanted to see if I could make girls and boys in a different manner. So the next compound I used was salt, vinegar, and everything nasty and girls were made; then for the boys I used earwax, nose hairs, and everything gross. Since then, I haven't used anymore compounds, and I had all the test subjects I needed."

Katahiko's colleagues were astounded by his creations. None so much as Hector. "Well Katahiko," he said, "you've really outdone yourself this time. What about what you said earlier about you knowing what Prof. Utonium was trying to say?"

"In short, he was saying is that super humans would be created, and I've done it, only with four though. Come, they're back here."

Katahiko lead them further inside the room. He then showed them four more kids, no more than twelve, sleep in container. These kids all had auburn hair.

"So far these are the only four I've worked with," Katahiko explained. "They are what I consider to be the No. 1's of their series. Powerpuff No. 1, I named her Blossom, Rowdyruff No. 1, Brick by name, Powerpunk No. 1, Berserk, and finally Rowdyrunk No. 1, Brock. Each of them I've injected a sufficient dose of Chemical X, but only enough so the chemical wouldn't kill them. But what happened was beyond my expectations. Each of them began to develop different powers such as flight, super strength and speed and laser vision. So, for the past few weeks, I've awakened them, tested their abilities and have been making adjustments to better suit them."

"Fascinating, Katahiko," Prof. P. Utonium said astounded. "What else have you done with them?"

"Well, for the fun of it, I took the liberty to personally train them in swordsmanship," Katahiko replied. "I was perplexed by how quickly they learned the techniques I showed them."

"Really, now? Who's good with what sword?"

"Blossom prefers the shirasaya over anything. Berserk likes the zetsurin a lot. Brock likes hands-on close-range fighting, so he chose the standard katana."

"And Brick?"

"The Japanese long sword is his person favorite, I even gave him my Tenchi no Tsurugi to use as his own. But, let's get back on the subject at hand."

For the next few minutes, Katahiko continued to explain the abilities each of them gained. Although they all had similar abilities, some of them were developed more so than others. Katahiko explained that he adjusted the kids' abilities to the point in which they were all equal to each other. As he continued to explain everything, their security sirens went off.

"Dr. Moore, what's going on?" Morris asked. "The military is here," Hector exclaimed. "They must be trying to shut done our work. What are we going to do?"

An idea dawned on Katahiko. "This would be the perfect field test for my creations. We could actually find out the true potential of your chemical, John. But, they are going to real reason to defend the island. They won't defend it for the sake of hard research."

"I have an idea on how to get them to help," John said. "Tell them if they don't help, their brothers and sisters will be killed.

"That just might work," Katahiko said. "Alright. Morris, Hector get those four kids awake and suited up. We have all of twenty minutes to prepare for the attack. Operation: "Defend the Island" starts now!"

Alright, I'm going to leave this chapter on a cliff. If you enjoyed what you've read, let me know with your reviews and I'll try to post new chapters every few days if I can. Please review! :)
