it was another beautiful day in the city of Townsville, at the home of professor utonium, creator and proud loving father of the Powerpuff girls, the protectors of Townsville, he was on the phone while also mopping up the floor in a windowed area of his lab, the view overlooking downtown Townsville,
"The city of Townsville?" said utonium over the phone giving directions to the caller on the phone "it's about fifteen miles east of the 101, take the 210 to the harbor freeway exit south, it's the third house on the left, bye!"
the professor then hung up, as was getting ready to turn around and mop the floor fully, three voices rang out to him
"who was that?" asked the three female voices
"huh?" the professor then turned to the voices, which belong to his beloved little girls, blossom, bubbles, and buttercup, and smiled to them, "oh! that was my old college buddy and roommate, dick hardly"
the professor then began to reminisce his earlier days in college as a science prodigy, utonium and dick hardly both attended Townsville university, but they differ from each other, utonium focused on his study and designed his own original work, intent of becoming his own scientist, dick, on the other hand, was far different, he secretly cheated on his work, and slacked off when no one was looking, he even always tricked utonium into finishing his college work for him, he was more interested in the success of life, women, and much more, and yet utonium refused to see behind the shady hide behind dick hardly's seemingly slacker attitude...
"Yeah, those were exciting days..." untonium sighed, then suddenly he heard the doorbell ring, "oh! there he is now!"
at the door, a man's finger was tapping rapidly at the doorbell impatiently, the man was wearing black moccasins and pants, along with a long white coat with a pink shirt underneath, he also wore a styled blond hair with a small ponytail, his skin looked like a deep tan and he wore blue-tinted glasses, he then stopping ringing the doorbell to look at the mailbox filled with today's deliveries, he saw one magazine called "science fun" he looked at the paper with disgust
"geez, still into the science stuff huh?" scoffed the man smoothly, yetcontemptuously at his old friend's pursuit of his passion "what a geek,"
"dick!" cheered the professor as he answered the door dick then turned to him, seemingly putting on a nice facade
"oh!" smiled dick passing the mail over to utonium "I got your mail here!"
"oh thank you!" said utonium as he received the papers from the mail,
"yeah, you should probably pay that bill pretty soon," dick joked as he pointed towards the enveloped bill
"um, thanks" smiled utonium "so what brings you to Townsville?"
"oh..." answered dick as he turned his gaze the other way, seemingly coming up with an excuse "I was just in the neighborhood and wanted to see what the old roommate was up to." he said smoothly "so, you gonna let me in or what?"
"sure, sure, come on in," said utonium as he moved as aside, dick quickly shaking his hand as he started to look around the interior of the house
"Wow, look at this place!" wowed dick "Still living in the '60s, huh? It's like we never left college." he then went to a corner of the house, one that leads to the lab "so, what are you working on these days? How you making money? Where's the lab?"
"oh, you don't want to go in there." waved off utonium "girls are cleaning it up, it's a mess,"
regardless dick has already opened the door to the lab "Yes, I do. I want to see what you've been up to." said dick as he then turned around and addressed himself "All right, kids, go play somewhere else. Your old man and me have some business to...dis...cuss."
dick hardly stood amazed as he saw the Powerpuff girls hard at work, they were sweeping and cleaning up the lab like never before, as dick watch, he felt himself think a horrible, truly greedy idea, that he can potentially profit from the professor's children, the Powerpuff girls, to become rich and powerful. so much so he felt his eyes turn to dollar signs,
"I see you've met my girls," said utonium as he entered the room, placing a hand on his old college's shoulder
"nice to meet you professor dick!" said the three girls in unison
"What do you mean,' your girls?'" sneered dick as he turned to utonium, still shocked from the sight of the Powerpuff Girls' prowess "You mean you made those things?"
"Um...well...technically" uttered utonium but then spoke sternly "But I am their father"
"You're sitting on a gold mine here!" shouted dick, grabbed the utonium by the coat then checked out the Powerpuff girls with greedy eyes "I knew you would turn one of your little inventions into a cash cow. We could make a fortune with these things!"
"Uh, Dick..." spoke utonium with a frown on his face and his arms on his waist, his parental instincts kicking in, these 3 were his little girls and he means it
"This is bigger than Bowplus. I mean, big!" wowed dick hardly, not paying any attention
"Dick..." said the professor sternly, his frown only growing more furious,
"I'm talking global, baby. The Japanese will eat these things up!" roared dick as he failed his arms around with an evil grin "Hey, you think we could market them as a food?"
this was the last straw for utonium as he raised his voice towards his so-called 'old friend' "Dick! Dick! DICK!"
"What?!" snapped dick, turning around,
"May I have a word with you outside...old buddy?" growled utonium pointing towards the door,
enraged with how his old friend from college treated his beloved daughters as money makers, rather than living breathing human beings, he promptly showed hardly the door outside the house,
"Listen." said utonium sternly, pointing a finger upwards "I don't appreciate you referring to my girls in that manner."
"Come on!" shrugged dick
"Come on, nothing!" snapped utonium "You just keep clear of me and my kids, pal." he then stormed off towards the door, "Consider our little visit over!" he then slammed the door hard after kicking out his old friend
"We could make a fortune~" called dick softy, then walked towards the front room window but as he did the window closed on him "Come on, Utonium! Let's talk a...bout it."
dick then turned around and began to think, he still wanted to make a profit out of the professor's success, and yet, if he can't sweet-talk the girls into becoming money makers, then perhaps he could go for a different approach...
at pokey oaks kindergarten a few hours later, the school bell had rung, and it was time for everyone to go home for the day, the Powerpuff girls too exited the building and were just about to fly home when a sleek red car pulled up on the road near the entrance,
"Hey, girls" sneered dick hardly, his glasses hanging a bit as he rolled down the window "Come here for a sec. I want to talk to you."
"We're not allowed to talk to strangers." countered blossom
"Stranger? I'm no stranger, I'm the Professor's buddy." said dick,
"Oh, yeah, you're Professor Dick." remembered blossom, the other girls smiling with her "Cool car!"
"Thanks." smirked dick "You want a ride home?"
after the girls accepted dick's offer, the red car soon drove away from pokey oaks "You know, I've been reading about you guys, and I think it's really great, what you do here in Townsville." gushed dick, obviously covering up his true intentions of this drive, "But you know, I've been all over the world, and there sure is a lot of evil out there. It's too bad there aren't more of you girls out there to help save everybody. Gee, if there was only a way to make more of you girls, we could help save people all over the world...and that would be good, huh?"
"Uh, yeah!" said bubbles innocently
"Tell me, what exactly are you girls made of?" asked dick
"Sugar..." said bubbles
"...spice..." said buttercup
" ...and everything nice," said blossom
"Oh, and an accidental dose of Chemical X" finished bubbles
"Wow!" said dick seemingly amazed by this remarkable recipe and then he smirked a bit, having learned what he needed to know, "Sounds like you could do a lot of saving with that stuff"
sure enough, they reached their destination the red car pulled up in the road near the home of the Powerpuff Girls,
"Well, here we are." said dick "Well, I guess I'll see you later, girls." but before the girls took off, dick pulled out one last false act as he looked dejectedly "But, boy...I sure wish I had some of that Chemical X. I mean...for the good of the world and all"
blossom frowned a bit overhearing this and started to think about what dick just said along with he girls until bubbles nodded and they came to a decision,
"Hey, Professor Dick?" asked blossom "Wait here for a sec, okay?"
the girls then slowly hover to the house and went downstairs to the lab, all the while, greeting the professor and then rushing right back outside with a bottle marked with an X it contained a black liquid, it was the very same ingredient that was responsible for their creation, chemical X
"gimme, gimme!" reached the deceptive man eagerly, he then soon held in his hands the power that gave birth to the Powerpuff girls as he soon drove off into the sunset in a hurry
"yes...yes...YEEESSS!" he roared in triumph as he drove away
later that night, dick drove towards an abandoned factory at a narrow ridge overlooking a huge body of water just off the coast of Townsville, he then cut the metal lock of the chained fence to the facility and dick drove inside, later he set up a laboratory inside, there he puts the recipe he learned from the Powerpuff girls themselves to work,
"sugar..."
"..spice.."
"...and everything nice"
he mixed the three vital ingredients into a large vat, the same ones used to create the protectors of Townsville, they formed a white liquid which bubbled and looked close to fuming, the experiment was nearly complete, there was one last ingredient that remained,
"And an accidental dose of..." said dick as he then took a medicine dropper and extracted the black liquid and held it over the vat, appearing accidentally, but in reality, it was on purpose,
"...Chemical X!"
the liquid slowly squeezed out from the dropper hanging overhead over the vat, until finally, it dropped,
"Oops!"
a huge explosion rocked the building and smoke flew out of the chimneys on the roof, professor dick then layed on the floor, dazed and battered, the room was showered in white light, dick slowly unshielded his eyes and saw to his delight, he had succeeded in creating his very own Powerpuff girls! and began to laugh in triumph! he was on his way to create a financial empire the likes of which no one has ever seen! from which he will greatly profit from across the globe, far beyond Townsville, everywhere in the world, including Japan, where other forces of justice shall be at work there...
do you remember that episode of the original Powerpuff girls knock it off? well, basically this fanfic is going to be that episode rewritten with Mazinger Z and Getter Robo included, as there was a scene in that episode where dick hardly was using his knock-off Powerpuff girls to profit from japan for protection and money, where three seemingly familiar figures were crying as the knock offs took their jobs, which is actually what inspired this fanfic, but what if they took a hand in bringing down dick hardly? I'm looking forward to writing more, I hope you all enjoy this fanfiction
