The next few weeks passed quickly, the Powerpuff girls Xtreme continued to make a name for themselves, earning more money for dick hardly's empire, and by extension, his greed and his desire to have everything in the world only grew, his factory again, expanded with support trusses extending from either side of the ridge to prevent the factory from falling into the water below, and more and more workers came along, including scientists to further dick hardly's mass production of his knock-off Powerpuff girls, in making only more and more money, just recently, he had expanded his knock-off empire over to the deserts of Egypt,
But one day, in the main conference room in his office, dick had called over his coworkers to examine how the Powerpuff girls Xtreme sales were going around the world,
"Alright, thanks for coming, gentlemen," greeted dick, "now, let's see how our international products are holding up, shall we?"
He then rolls down the sales chart, and dick sees a drop in sales in the other countries around the world, especially Tokyo and dick was not pleased,
"no, no, no," he muttered, "sales are dropping in Tokyo!"
"in Tokyo!?" said an official
"yes, you idiot!" growled dick turning his head, "no time for the meeting! We must do one thing back at the factory! Cut back on the sugar by half!"
"by half?" said a coworker.
"yes, by half!" shouted dick "we got to do this so we can keep our company going! Go! Go! Go!"
The workers wasted no time in clearing out as dick hardly scared them off. It was explicit dick was only becoming more and more greedy,
At the factory, work was underway, and as dick had ordered, the sugar necessary was reduced by half, making the knock-off quality even poorer than ever,
the workers even grew restless and tired, but dick didn't care, as long as he had money, and even if the knock offs fell to pieces, dick will not give back the money, especially since now that he can use helicopters to make deliveries.
Around the world, the reduction of sugar by half had immediately taken effect, the knock off Powerpuff girls quality quickly dropped, even starting to fail in saving lives, but the money was still paid and couldn't be taken back, most of the knock offs even begun falling apart, this was evident especially in Egypt, a bubbles like copy but with the voice and hairstyle of buttercup, had her head fall off and roll away one time when Egypt was under attack,
Back in Japan, at Tokyo, sales were still stale even with dick hardly's action to reduce the sugar, and as a result, both Mazinger z and getter robo were becoming more active, especially when the knock offs fall to pieces,
After a visit at the merchandise store, Shiro returned to his big brothers home on the outskirts of the photon research laboratory with a Powerpuff girls Xtreme package,
"big brother!" called Shiro, "I'm home!"
"oi! Shiro!" waved koji, waving to his little brother from the couch, "got yourself a Powerpuff girl, I see!"
"yeah!" nodded Shiro. "I can't wait to open it up!"
"I can't believe they're still selling them, even though sales, as we're hearing, are dropping," sighed koji as he saw his little brother tear open the package and out came a copy of blossom but with the wrong hairline,
"prepare to be stomped!" said the blossom copy, after emerging from the package.
"stomped?" questioned koji. "I could've sworn it was prepare to be pulverized."
"Yeah, but think about it, big brother!" remarked Shiro, "a Powerpuff girl, fighting alongside Mazinger z!"
"heh!" smirked koji "just need two more, and we can have ourselves a full party!"
"oh yeah, bubbles, and buttercup too!" nodded Shiro
But just as they chuckled, the blossom copy began to move around, and then her arm fell off, leaving koji and Shiro silent as they watched in horror.
"we've got to save the world before bedtime!" said the blossom copy one last time as the rest of her fell apart across the floor,
"she… She fell apart!" stuttered Shiro horrified.
"Just when she got out too…" muttered koji.
"I can't believe it…" said Shiro "how do they keep selling if they fall apart like this!?"
"I don't know Shiro," said koji, "but I outta take it up to the manager!"
Koji then inspected the package for the number to the company that created the Powerpuff girls Xtreme and found it, then he dialed the phone and called for dick hardly,
"yes, Xtreme industries?" chimed the voice over the phone, responding through a headset
"yeah, I just wanted to call to tell you that your Powerpuff girl fell to pieces!" Snarled koji
"well, that is quite unfortunate," said dick, seemingly anticipated the millions of angry calls and filed complaints, "but unfortunately there are no refunds for your product,"
"What!?" said Shiro agitated, "she literally fell apart after coming out of the package!"
"refunds!?" growled koji, "just what kind of stuff are you trying to push on us!?"
"well, sir," said dick as he gave an unfeeling grin, "if you look closely at the warranty, it's actually only good for 3 hours."
Both koji and Shiro were shaken,
"3, 3 hours!?" answered koji.
"yes, but the new model is guaranteed to last up to 5 full hours!" replied dick again,
"and just how will that make anything better?!" cried koji, "we're deliberately being sold out!"
"well, I'm afraid Xtreme industries are not responsible for any injuries or incidents," said dick "have a nice day sir," he then hung up,
"that sell out!" growled koji putting away the phone,
"big brother," said Shiro, "what will we do now?"
"Shiro," said koji, "we've got to get another one of those Powerpuff girls Xtreme."
"but won't they fall apart?" asked Shiro.
"yes," said koji, "but we'll take the package to professor Yumi in mint condition,"
"ah, I see," nodded Shiro "let's go, big brother!"
"right! Shiro!" nodded koji, rushing out the door, off to the product store to get another Powerpuff girls Xtreme.
Back with the getter team, the saotome institute launched the three getter jet machines, the red-colored eagle, the silver-colored jaguar, and the yellow-colored bear, on a mission to patrol the places where the Powerpuff girls Xtreme failed and fell to pieces, and also to fight a nearby Mechasaurus which was also slowed down by the knock-off Powerpuff girls,
"professor," said Ryoma, "are you sure that the mechasaurus is nearby?"
"yes, Ryo," said dr saotome, "it was sighted after the Powerpuff girls Xtreme tried to stop him but fell to pieces afterward."
"fell to pieces!?" gasped Musashi in horror.
"But how?" asked Ryoma "they couldn't have gone down that easily, right?"
"I'm afraid the news says otherwise," sighed the professor.
"Whatever the case, professor, we'll take care of the mechasaurus!" said Ryoma
"Please do, Ryo," nodded the professor before cutting communications.
After a few minutes of flying, the getter team spot their target, the latest cyborg dinosaur sent out to destroy them and the saotome institute, where the Powerpuff girls Xtreme failed to protect,
"ah! There's the mechasaurus!" said Musashi
"it seems to be on the ground as well, tearing everything up," said Ryoma "no wonder the Powerpuff girls Xtreme couldn't stop it, Hayato! Musashi! Let's go!"
The three jets flew down, and the mechasaurus spotted them and fired his cybernetic eye beam, the getter team was quick to dodge, steering away from the red laser, but they're enemy tried again by using his flamethrower breath
"watch out!" shouted Hayato, alerting the other to dodge the flames again. "Ryo! Flying around isn't going to do much good! We've got to face him on the ground!"
"I agree, Hayato! Let's combine and take him head-on!" cried ryoma before pressing a button in his cockpit. " CHANGE! GETTER 1! SWITCH ON! "
The bear jet flew into the back of the jaguar jet and made the connection. When they did connect, silver legs and feet with red stripes sprouted out from the bear's thrusters, and red-colored arms each with small three-headed arm blades, also came out from jaguars sides, finally eagle connected with the cockpit of jaguar and became the upper chest torso with twin green tiles, while the nosecone became a head with, hexagon yellow eyes, green shaped tiles on it's face, and long pointed red ears, with drill-like ears horns underneath
"now! Let's go! Mechasaurus!" challenged ryoma as getter 1 landed on the ground.
The cyborg dinosaur roared as he charged in with its claws and tried to slash the getter Robo, to which he counter-attacked by raising an arm and then swinging his other arm with its small blades to cut the Dino, and then throwing a punch to the dinosaur's face, pushing him back, but the cyborg dinosaur got ready to attack once again,
" GETTER TOMAHAWK! " shouted ryoma as getter 1 reached form his left shoulder to grab a pole and pulled it out to reveal a hand axe
The cybernetic dinosaur swung his tail at getter 1, which he quickly sidestepped, charged in with his axe, swung it in close range, and slashed the cyborg in the shoulder. He promptly retaliated by launching his flamethrower breath, pushing getter 1 back in flames,
"darn…" grunted ryoma as he then threw a lever for getter 1 to throw a knee to the gut, making the flames stop and the dinosaur reel back in pain as getter 1 then jumped backward to prepare for the next move,
"Ryo, what's the next move?" asked Musashi, "should we switch?"
"I'm not too sure just yet," said Ryo, "this one doesn't seem fast, but he seems to rely on the ground too,"
"It seems so, but too reliant," said Hayato "maybe…Ryo! Watch out!"
Ryoma looked up to see the three streaks of light from the knock off Powerpuff girls, which looked again like a distorted version of blossom, bubbles, and buttercup. The mechasaurus also turned to them,
"I think they're asking for a Henie whopping," muttered the knock off buttercup,
The three knock-off Powerpuff girls circled the cybernetic dinosaur, to which he slashed his claws towards them, but could not hit the girls, as the bubbles copy flew in with a kick to the dinosaur's stomach, snapping off the leg in the process, the getter team look shooked as buttercup then landed a punch towards the dinosaur's face, sending him flying as the blossom copy charged in with a headbutt, knocking back the cyborg beast even more,
"Ryo!" called Hayato, "now's our chance! Hit him!"
"right!" nodded ryoma as getter 1 then swung his hand axe towards the mechasaurus like a boomerang " TOMAHAWK BOOMERANG! "
The boomerang axe sliced off the mechasurus' arm clean. Getter 1 then charged in by jumping and landing another kick to the cybernetic dinosaur's chest, dealing significant damage. After the knock-off Powerpuff girls flew back, getter 1 then jumped back, and the mechasaurus retaliated with another flamethrower breath, then a hatch opened in getter 1's stomach
" GETTER BEAM! " shouted ryoma as a destructive purple-pink beam of highly concentrated getter rays shot form getter 1's stomach, hitting the pillar of flames and overtaking it, finally hitting the mechasaurus, making the gigantic beast real in pain as it felt the getter energy overwhelm him, causing him to explode completely,
"another one bites the dust," sighed Hayato
"Yeah, but what about those Powerpuff girls?" asked Musashi,
"Yeah, we have them to thank as well," said ryoma
But as getter 1 waved to them, the knock off Powerpuff girls' lifespan expired as they then fell to pieces, horrifying the getter team as getter 1 could only watch their remains near the fiery remains of the fallen mechasaurus,
Back at his factory, dick hardly was still working his slaves to the bone, all the machinery are now in top gear, even as a series of mushroom cloud send off explosions occurred they could not stop the production line as the factory expanded even more, and grew in size as dick's black heart only grew more and more black as the chemical x that he still uses to create his Powerpuff girls
"FASTER! FASTER!" shouted dick from atop a balcony of the factory floor as scientists were assembling their Powerpuff girls
"But we're going as fast as we can, sir!" called a worker from below, "we can hardly sleep!"
"well, no rest for the wicked, and besides, I pay you, and you all pay me!" shouted dick "now faster!"
"Why did we ever decide to work for him…" grumbled most of the people below, but dick didn't care at all,
After the latest Powerpuff girls Xtreme line has been produced. Dick sent out a whole fleet of helicopters to circle around the world to drop off his Powerpuff girls. At his office, he was just enjoying the high piles of money, sporting a Cheshire cat-like grin. He was really rolling in the profits, despite the fact the knock Powerpuff girls could not live up to the real deals…
In the kitchen, professor utonium was cleaning the dishes when he heard the latest radio report on the window seal,
"Today in Germany," crackled the radio's voice, "the Powerpuff girls failed again as they attempted to quell a runaway bratwurst destroying Dusseldorf in it's path. This is N.P.R (national public radio)
"I just don't believe it…" said utonium "how could the girls be around the world and yet fail in what they do…I just wish they would talk to me…"
Utonium pondered the mystery surrounding the girls going international and the fact he had recently been hearing about some failures in their tasks worldwide. What could be the meaning of this?
At the research center of the photon power research laboratory, the three scientists of the institute dr morimori, sewashi, and nossori, alongside gennosuke yumi, were studying the Powerpuff girl Xtreme package, running it through x rays, scanning the artificial human being inside the box,
"I still can't believe she fell to pieces just seconds after the box was opened…" sighed professor yumi, looking over the x-ray screen,
"yeah, and just when we got it too!" sighed koji
"But father," said Sayaka, "what could've caused it?"
"Hopefully, we will have our answers, Sayaka," answered yumi
The x-ray machine soon finished its scan, and the results are shown on the screen, indicating that this Powerpuff girl xtreme's structure is not only defective but also physically unstable, hence the short 3-5 hour life span,
"hmm…this isn't good…" sighed dr sewashi "she doesn't have a stable structure, and she doesn't seem as lively as the real Powerpuff girls over at Townsville,"
"and that means they don't have the same life long lifespan as the real Powerpuff girls…" lamented professor yumi
"you mean they just fall apart even when people buy them?" gasped Sayaka
"it appears so…" sighed yumi
"that's awful. They all live and die for profit, all for this man's gain!" growled Sayaka
"and they don't even get it back either!" snarled koji, "not to mention many people have been hurt in more ways than one. This man maybe even worse than dr hell!"
"It seems so, koji," nodded yumi
"Father, what do we do now?" asked Sayaka
"Sayaka, koji, I will contact the saotome institute and talk to dr saotome about the situation with these Powerpuff girls and this dick hardly," explained professor yumi "in the meantime, have Mazinger z on standby to assault Xtreme industries and dismantle it, do you understand?"
"yes, professor," nodded koji, "just give me the word, and Mazinger and I will crush the factory for sure!"
"we're counting on you, koji," nodded yumi as he then left the room to contact the saotome institute and the getter team
Over at the saotome institute, dr saotome was studying the remains of the Powerpuff girls Xtreme. He was examining the inside structure through a microscope and saw the structure, though now dead, was also unstable,
"hmm…this isn't good," sighed dr saotome "her molecular structure is stable, but the structure which held her together was unstable and fell apart."
"how long did she have?" asked ryoma, saddened.
"her structure seemed to hold on for 3-5 hours…" sighed saotome.
"3-5 hours!?" gasped Michiru "she only had so long to live!"
"the same goes for her sisters…" said Hayato, lowering his head.
"so they only lived and died so soon…" lamented dr saotome
"…do you think this the dinosaur empire's work?" asked ryoma.
"unlikely, ryoma," said dr saotome, "but whoever created these girls and gave such a short lifespan must be an awful man indeed…"
"darn…" said Musashi, "professor, let us launch the getter machine!"
"not yet, Musashi," replied dr saotome "we know Xtreme industries and dick hardly created the Powerpuff girls Xtreme, but we don't know where their headquarters are,"
"But when we do know, what will we do?" asked Michiru
"we would try to negotiate, but I doubt it will be that simple," said dr saotome, "and besides, for the rest of these Powerpuff girls, we may have to put they're creator and his work out of their misery."
"that may be the only option, wouldn't it?" replied Hayato "this guy must be put down,"
"dad! Dad!" shouted Genki, dr Saotome's youngest child, "there's trouble in Tokyo. People are angry at the Powerpuff girls Xtreme failing. They're forming angry mobs and protest their money back!"
"at this rate, with the multiple Powerpuff girls Xtreme failing, that is most likely to get worse," thought dr saotome
"we've got to stop them at this rate," remarked ryoma
"I agree," said dr saotome, "which is why I will be contacting the photon power institute and ask for their collaboration in learning where Xtreme industries is. In the meantime, have the getter machine on standby for the order to launch, understood?"
"yes, professor" nodded ryoma
Later, dr saotome went to contact the photon power institute. Professor yumi and dr saotome agreed on one thing, dick hardly and Xtreme industries must be stopped and were now thinking about how they would locate the factory. When they do, they will send out Mazinger z and the getter robo
At Xtreme industries, dick hardly was walking through the thousands of Powerpuff girl knock offs, inspecting them to see if anything went wrong with his batch before he sends them out to their buyers all over the world
"hmm. Too ugly, useless…" mumbled dick, then suddenly he came across a perfect copy of buttercup "what's this, this one's perfect! I thought I told you to cut back on the sugar!"
"I did cut back on the sugar boss," said a worker, "but I thought it would be best to at least for once to go full-on with the sugar"
"well, you thought wrong!" shouted dick. The buttercup replica looked nervously. "TAKE IT BACK AND MELT IT DOWN FOR IT'S CHEMICAL X!"
"w-what!?" gasped the worker, "but isn't exact replicas what you want!?"
"no buts!" shouted dick, mental instability at its near peak "take it back now! And prepare the car. I have an advertisement to make!"
The worker then complied and brought the buttercup copy with him and into another room in the factory, but when dick wasn't looking, the worker managed to sneak the buttercup copy past the machinery and allowed her to escape through a nearby window,
"the boss might kill me for this, but what the heck?" sighed the worker compassionately.
Later, at the home of the real Powerpuff girls, they were watching a commercial on the airwaves that read the following on the tv screen, 'THE FOLLOWING IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT FROM PPG X2000 THIS PROGRAM IS NOT AFFILIATED WITH THIS NETWORK IN ANY WAY" then the screen showed a montage of crooks and robbers committing their crimes,
"Are you having a problem with crime?" chimed dick hardly over the screen "and let's face it, folks! Who isn't?"
"oh, save me from my crime problem!" cried a bank
manager teary-eyed after his vault was robbed
"well, say goodbye to those fears, folks!" cheered dick, "the Powerpuff girls Xtreme are here!"
A montage of different backgrounds and images of the three Powerpuff girls then showed on the screen with the words "POWER" "PUFF," "GIRLS" ending with "XTREME" then came dick running down the aside of an auditorium with cheering people to get to the stage he then took up the microphone
"Hello, hello, thank you, thank you," said dick. "I'm here to tell you about our new crime-fighting product, the Powerpuff girls Xtreme!"
"wow, dick," said a man with an Australian accent clad in a sweater, "you seem pretty excited about this new product!"
"you know Trevor, I am." Nodded dick, "and I'll tell you why, better yet, why don't you show em, Trevor."
"right," nodded Trevor stepping across the stage to a cloth covering Powerpuff feet "follow me over here to the crime simulator."
Trevor then pulled off the cloth, exposing the three girls the blossom copy has buttercup's hairline, the buttercup copy has bubble's hairline, and bubbles has the correct hairline, their legs are too skinny, their smiles do not match, and "blossom" 's hair bow is out of proportion
"viola!" cheered Trevor "here's the little buggars now! Cute, aren't they? Now I'm gonna play the crook sneaking in on the simulated window."
"we'll see how he fares against the Powerpuff girls Xtreme," sneered dick
The crowd only cheered and laughed as Trevor then got to the window, preparing to activate the simulator
"right," nodded Trevor, "here I go!"
Just seconds after Trevor gets off the window seal, the knock off Powerpuff girls fire a burst of their laser eyes, covering Trevor in a crisp. The crowd laughed at this
"Okay, while you get cleaned up," said dick, "let's take a listen to what these people have to say."
At a house, a couple were giving their thoughts on the Powerpuff girls Xtreme
"oh, well," chimed the wife who was wearing yellow glasses, "when we first moved into the big city, we didn't know what to expect, but ever since we got the Powerpuff girls, I've had no trouble keeping bill at home *giggles*."
A kid in the neighborhood was also giving his thoughts
"I've been having so much fun with my Powerpuff!" he cheered while holding a more or less accurate blossom
A robber at the bank was also giving his thoughts, despite the scene and the alarm still going off
"The Powerpuff girls got me $2.5 million!" he gruffed
Back at the main stage of the advertisement, Trevor was now cleaned up and was smiling at dick
"you know, dick," chimed Trevor, "I'm getting pretty excited about the Powerpuff girls too!"
"and you should be Trevor!" nodded dick, now deciding the let it slip, "because these Powerpuff girls are made with chemical Xtreme!"
The girls could only stare wide-eyed at the screen
"and if you like to see how they're made, please see us over at Xtreme industries at this location," chimed dick, showing the factory over at abandoned ravine outside of Townsville "thank you all, and have a good night!"
The Powerpuff Girls were not at all pleased about hearing about what dick hardly had been doing with the chemical x they had given him, especially renaming It to "chimerical Xtreme" along with slandering their good name with all these short-lived knock off of them that have been living and dying saving people all over the world while the real girls remained in Townsville to keep the professor in the dark about what happened
"What!?" snapped blossom at last "that, professor dick! He lied to us!"
"he lied to us all!" nodded buttercup
"that liar!" screeched bubbles
Just then, they were cut off by the sound of the door opening and professor utonium entering the room. The girls quickly turned off the tv
"oh, hi girls," waved utonium
"oh, hi professor," said the girls nervously, "how was your day?"
"so," said uonium "how was dusseldorf?"
The girls muttered to themselves nervously, knowing that perhaps the professor heard how the fake Powerpuff girls failed to save Germany,
"he's good," nodded blossom
"Yeah, good," said buttercup
"oh, really?" asked the professor suspiciously
"in fact, we were just going to meet him right now," said blossom as the girls quickly zipped to the door, the professor humming to himself in thought,
"let's go see dick and get this all straightened out!" said blossom as she and the other girls took flight to search for dick's factory "nobody lies to the Powerpuff girls!"
"dick?" thought the professor as he then went to the garage and started up the car, and decided to follow his three daughters to where dick was. He told him to stay away from his girls, now he'll learn what it means to break a promise…
Over at the photon institute, the staff, koji, Sayaka, and Shiro had seen everything, the informercial the people's thoughts, where the factory is at, everything,
"chemical Xtreme?" asked koji, "that doesn't sound right at all! And these knock offs fell apart after all!"
"How awful!" screeched Sayaka, "selling them to even creeps and crooks alike!"
"This guy will get what's coming to him!" shouted Shiro
"and we now know where Xtreme industries is," nodded professor yumi. Then he turned around in his face to face koji "koji, it's clear we cannot allow this to go on any further, launch Mazinger z,"
"no need to tell me twice!" nodded koji
"the saotome institute will also launch the getter robo as planned," said yumi "they will meet you on the way,"
"Leave it to me, professor!" cried koji. "Mazinger z and the getter team will not let Xtreme industries have their way anymore!" he then ran towards the door to the hangar bay
"koji, I'm counting on you," prayed Sayaka, hoping koji would make it out okay
From above the trees and forests, a red-colored air-based hovercraft called the hover pilder flew above and towards the institute, with koji as it's pilot and flew towards a huge resort-like area next to the institute,
" MAZIN GO! " shouted koji from his hovercraft
The floor below the huge body of water began to split open as the waters sprayed down, and a tall humanoid metal figure rose on a gigantic platform. It had a humanoid shape, it's arms, hands, and legs colored blue, the joint limbs silver, the chest and waist area were colored black, with twin fin-like heat sinks on the sides of the chest, and the head's top looked like a halfway connected metal bowl, had twin pointed yellow-colored spike for ears, blue skin at the main faceplate its metal mouth grill covered, but it's teeth looked like a cage
" PILDER ON! " called koji as the hover pilder folded its wings and landed on the head port of the gigantic robot, activating it, and Mazinger's eyes flashed yellow as it's photonic engine spurred to life and raised his arms upwards, activating the robot, but koji wasn't done yet,
" JET SCRANDER! " cried koji again as from a clearing in the hills, a catapult slid up carrying a red-colored razor-sharp winged jetpack like unit with a fin at the top, the thrusters then roared to life as the scrander launched towards the skies and towards Mazinger z, the robot running in the empty clearing to gain momentum to jump and connect with his jet pack unit
" SCRANDER CROSS! " called koji one last time, Mazinger z jumped and connected with the jet scrander from the back, a white-colored with two halves that make a yellow colored diamond metallic belt clamped on form Mazinger z's stomach, completing the transformation, koji flew towards dick hardly's factory,
Just from his right side, koji could see the three getter machines flying alongside him, as professor yumi said they would be following him to the factory, miles behind the Powerpuff girls
now the Powerpuff girls, Mazinger z, and getter robo were on they're way there with one mission, to discontinue Xtreme industries and end dick hardly's financial reign of terror once and for all…
