This is a very special chapter. I'm adding a fourth category. I do not own Mew-Mew Power (or Tokyo Mew-Mew as it is referred to in its original Japanese), and I have full intention on using the English terminology that I learned when I first saw it on TV growing up (which I don't own either). For those of you who are a bit concerned about a four-category crossover, I'll have you know that before I got this account, I've written crossovers with five or six categories! ;)

Chapter 8: Enter Alex and the Mew-Mews

A few days later…

"Are you sure?" Edd was asking Thomas.

"I'm positive. They've already got the stuff. It never really left them," Thomas nodded.

"I love this project as much as the next guy, but…okay, for once, I cannot think of a good reason," Edd smiled, "Let's do it. And maybe we should call on the originals, too."

"Yeah," Thomas agreed.

"Plume!" Vileplume cheered. Translation: Yay!

A tall, slim boy, about the age of 14 or 15 walked in. He had jet black hair and dark eyes. He wore a red T-shirt and jeans. Thomas greeted him, "Hey, Alex."

"Hi, Thomas. Hi, Double-D. So, you want me to participate in gathering the data?" Alex asked them.

"Yep," Thomas confirmed.

"You're familiar with the project, yes?" Edd asked.

"Yep. So, this means you're starting where you left off last time?" Alex asked them.

"Mm-hmm," Thomas nodded. "And we think Gaby may be the next one, making a total of nine for our recreation of the project."

"Wow. That's almost double what the original establishers had found," Alex admired.

"We plan on inviting the establishers of the original project along with the original five girls," Edd informed him.

"This'll be so fun. And possibly funny!" Thomas chuckled at the thought of what he and the other two teenagers had planned. "I have a very good feeling about this."

"I do as well," Edd nodded in agreement.

Some time later that day…

Dawn, Summer, Misty, Lyra, May, Hannah, Iris, and Nema were all in a room. It was a small room with a projector hanging from the ceiling. It was dark, when the lights suddenly came on, revealing Thomas, Edd, and Alex. Edd started off, "Hello, ladies. I believe you know why you're here. And if you are thinking something disgusting, shame on you."

"Someone in this room…is a murderer," Thomas joked.

"Someone in this room will be murdered if you don't get right to the point," Misty said to the boys.

"You all have something in common," Alex said. "You're all Mew-Mews."

"We were Mew-Mews," Dawn corrected him.

"You don't just stop being a Mew-Mew. You girls were…taking time off," Thomas corrected Dawn's correction. "Now, let's go over what we know."

The Mew-Mews with the original five Red Data Animals in their DNA were:

Dawn, the Iriomote Wildcat and the lead Mew-Mew (Mew color: pink/red)

Summer, the Rare Blue Lorikeet (Mew color: blue)

Misty, the Black Finless Porpoise (Mew color: green)

Lyra, the Tamarin Lion Monkey (Mew color: yellow)

May, the Grey Wolf (Mew color: purple)

"And then there are the Red Data Animals we acquired knowledge of in our previous research," Edd continued. Those Mew-Mews were:

Hannah, the Snow Leopard (Mew color: white)

Iris, the Axolotl (a rare species of salamander) (Mew color: orange)

Nema, the Blue Macaw (Mew color: teal)

"You're serious?" Summer asked. "I thought you gave that up after Double-D got hurt in Almia Castle!"

"Only for a short while. My injuries have healed and something as spectacular as Project Mew-Mew should be continued with no menial interruptions," Edd clarified. "You all remember the original Mew-Mews, right? They'll be here, too."

"Really?" Dawn asked. She remembered when she met the original pink Mew-Mew, Zoey. They had gotten along quite well.

"Hey, gang," a young man with blonde hair and blue eyes walked in. He was handcuffed to a girl with red hair, who was handcuffed to a short dark-haired girl, who was handcuffed to a tall girl with green hair and glasses, who was handcuffed to an even taller girl with violet hair and blue eyes. The young man was Elliot, followed by Zoey, Corina, Bridget, and Renee respectively.

"Why are you handcuffed to each other?" May brought up the question that everyone else was thinking.

"It was the only way I could get them here," Elliot explained.

"Wait, aren't there five of them?" Alex inquired.

"Wesley as a different method for getting Kikki here," Elliot answered.

Just then, a man with long brown hair was guiding a blindfolded girl with soft, light blonde hair and yellowish clothing in. The girl was holding a shoe lace with a thumbtack through it. She asked the man, "Am I getting close to the donkey?"

"Oh, my lord," Edd groaned.

"Our lives just get stranger by the hour," Thomas claimed. He smirked, "I like it that way."

"Who doesn't?" Alex asked rhetorically.

"Who said that?" Kikki, still blindfolded, asked. She took off the blindfold and greeted, "Oh! Hi, guys!"

"Elliot, can you please take off these handcuffs?" Zoey pled.

"Of all the Mew-Mews I could be handcuffed to, it had to be you," Elliot groaned. "So, you boys are continuing where you left off in the research?"

"Yes, and we're quite proud of it. We couldn't let something so great go," Edd responded.

Just then, Gaby walked in, followed by Cynthia, the Sinnoh region Champion and Space-Time Warrior of Arceus. Cynthia asked, "You called?"

"Yes. We have news for you two," Thomas told them. "Gaby and Cynthia, we have finally found two more Mew-Mews. You two. Cynthia, the Sinnoh Champ, also the gold Mew-Mew, infused with the Island Fox. Gaby, the chartreuse Mew-Mew, infused with the White Bengal Tiger."

"Why chartreuse?" Wesley asked.

"I like chartreuse," Gaby explained. "And periwinkle and a lot of those other colors that people don't usually think about."

"And of course, with the return of the second generation Mew-Mews…" Thomas began. He held out his palms and floating above it was a fuzzy pink robot with tiny red wings and light blue eyes.

"That looks like Mini Mew," Zoey commented. Mini Mew appeared. He was a pink fuzzy robot, like the one Thomas held out, only with pink eyes rather than blue ones.

"Mini Mew! Mini Mew's brother! Mini Mew's brother!" Mini Mew chirped happily.

"Tiny Mew!" the blue eyed robot chirped happily with a voice similar to Mini Mew's. Tiny Mew was his name.

"Tiny!" Dawn exclaimed. Tiny Mew flew up to Dawn, brushed his fuzzy body against her cheek and purred affectionately.

"Piplup!" Piplup exclaimed. It had gotten along well with Tiny Mew in the past. Translation: Tiny Mew!

"Piplup, Piplup!" Tiny Mew repeated Piplup's name.

"Now that greetings and reunions are out of the way," Alex began, "Dawn, Summer, Misty, Lyra, and May, your weapons are different this time. They're the same weapons your corresponding original Mew-Mews have. For example, Dawn, you can forget about your Strawberry Sais. Your new weapon is the Strawberry Bell. We're working on upgrading it, but it took Elliot a long time to complete upgrading Zoey to the Rose Bell."

"So, instead of my Combat Staff…" Misty began.

"You'll have the same Combat Castanets as Bridget," Thomas finished.

"This is going to rock!" Kikki cheered.

"She's as happy-go-lucky as I remember!" Lyra smiled.
