Chapter 4
The Powerpuff Girls Meet the Z-Fighters
On a small island in the middle of the ocean, an old man with sunglasses lies on his sunchair catching some rays until Goku, Goten, Trunks and the Girls appeared out of nowhere and startle him.
?: (startled) AHH!
The old man comically falls out of his chair and just lies there with a twitching right foot.
Buttercup: Huh? What the-? (she looks around) How'd we get onto this island all of a sudden!? Weren't we in the city just a few seconds ago?
Just then, the old man immediately gets back up, shouting at Goku for disturbing him.
?: Goku, couldn't you see that I was taking a tan!?
Goku: (gasped) Whoops! Sorry I came in so suddenly, Master Roshi, but uhh... (he looks at the Girls who are still in his right arm)
Roshi: Hmmm? (he takes a closer look at the Girls) Hmmmmm...
Girls: (fearfully whined)
Roshi: Who are these kids, Goku? New friends of yours?
Goku: Yeah. (he lets go of the Girls) Master Roshi, I like for you to meet Blossom, Bubbles, Buttercup, Butterfly and Bouquet.
Bubbles: (nervously giggled) Hi.
Roshi: Mmmm, nice names. Hmmm... (he takes another look)
Buttercup: (grinned nervously) This old guy's creeping me out here…
Roshi: They certainly don't look like any kids I've ever seen before.
Goten: That's because they're the Powerpuff Girls!
Trunks: Which means they've got some cool superpowers!
Goku: Yeah, that and they're from another dimension that's far off from here.
Roshi: Ohhhhh, I see.
Buttercup: Who is this old kook with sunglasses?
Goku: That's Master Roshi, head of the Turtle Hermit School and my teacher.
Roshi: That's right! Hoo-hoooo! The one and only, baby! (he strikes an awkward pose)
The Girls looked at Master Roshi all funny, seeing how truly bizarre he is.
Blossom: Uhhh... Goku? Are you sure that's your teacher?
Goku: Of course he is, Blossom.
Buttercup: No, seriously. Is he for real?
Roshi: Hey, I heard that! And why wouldn't I be!?
Buttercup: Uhhhh…
Roshi: Are you saying you doubt my mastery in martial arts!? Perhaps a little demonstration may help change your opinion of me.
With a determined look on his face, Roshi turned towards the open sea and stands in silence.
Bubbles: What's he doing?
Butterfly: I don't know.
Roshi warms up and controls his breathing, then starts flexing his muscles until his scrawny body bulks up and turns muscular.
Roshi: Hooooooo... (he bulks up) …AAAAAAAARGH!
The Girls' eyes widened and their jaws dropped after witnessing this.
Bouquet: Oooo...key. That's new.
Roshi started glowing in a strange blue aura as he puts his hands together and starts to use his signature technique.
Blossom: N-Now what?
Roshi: KA…ME...
Buttercup: I... think we're gonna need some shades too.
Roshi: HA...ME…
An orb of concentrated energy appears in Roshi's hands as he prepares to fire it.
Blossom: No time for that! Shield your eyes!
The Girls covered their eyes as Roshi releases the energy.
Roshi: HAAAAAAA!
Roshi releases a powerful beam of light that tears right through the ocean, creating a massive trench of water in its wake. The Girls kept their eyes shielded and are dazzled by the blinding light and sheers magnitude of the blast.
Butterfly: WHOA! WHAT A LIGHT SHOW!
Blossom: THIS IS CRA-A-A-ZY!
Buttercup: WHOOOOOAA, YEEEEEAAAAAH, BABY!
Eventually the blast settles and the light dims. When the Girls opened their eyes, they saw a massive gap in the ocean where the blast tore right through. Roshi has exhausted himself by releasing so much energy and has reverted to his scrawny physique.
Roshi: Phew... What a wake-up.
As the water rushes back in, the Girls are left stunned and amazed over what just happened.
Blossom: What the heck was that!?
Butterfly: That... was... AMAZING!
Roshi: That, my young friends, is called the Kamehameha Wave.
Buttercup: (amazed) Cowabunga! Whatever you just did, that was a doozy!
Roshi: It's quite simple, my dear. I harnessed all latent energy in my body, concentrating it into a single point, then released it all at once.
Butterfly: Then you must have a lot of energy for an old man to create a blast THAT big.
Roshi: Ha-HAAA! YOU KNOW IT, BABY!
Bouquet notices Bubbles shaking in fear.
Bouquet: What's wrong, Bubbles? Why are you shivering?
Bubbles: That blast looked kind of like…
Bubbles has a flashback of witnessing Vegeta's Galick Gun.
Vegeta: (flashback) GALICK GUUUUUN!
Bubbles' flashback ends as she violently shook her head.
Bubbles: (she shook her head) That really scared the pants off of me!
Goku: Oh, right. Vegeta.
Blossom: (she comforted Bubbles) Just forget about Vegeta, Bubbles.
Bubbles: (nodded) Right.
Buttercup: (eagerly) Hey! I wanna learn how to do that Kameha-what's-it ray! (she gets bonked on the head by Roshi's staff) OUCH! (she rubbed her head)
Roshi: Now hold on just a minute! It's called the KA-ME-HA-ME-HA Wave! And in order to prefect it, you'll have to allow your Ki to flow right through you, concentrate all of it into your hands. And then, you let it all out!
Bubbles: Ki? What's that?
Goku: Your spiritual energy of course.
Roshi: That's right, Goku. Through long durations of intense training and descipline, a warrior can harness his or her Ki to boost their strength and power to even greater heights.
Blossom: Amazing...
Butterfly: I wish I have that kind of power.
Roshi: I know, right? Incredible, isn't it? Although it does have its drawbacks.
Bubbles: Drawbacks?
Bouquet: What kind?
Roshi: Although harnessing your spirit energy may sound cool, you can't just call on it all willy-nilly, otherwise it will drain you of your strength, leaving you wide open for your opponent to finish you off. You have to know when to call on the power of your Ki and when not to.
Bubbles/Bouquet: (gulped)
Butterfly: Boy, sounds hard.
Blossom: Come to think of it, you looked really exhausted after releasing that blast.
Roshi: Yes, it really takes a lot out of you.
Blossom: Huh, I can imagine that.
Roshi: The thing is, once you've mastered the power of Ki, allowing it to circulate through your being, knowing when to harness it and breaking past your limits, then there's no other warrior in the world that can stand up to you in battle.
Girls: (impressed) Ooooooh...
Roshi: All it takes to pull it off is a little integrity, discipline and spiritual balance.
Butterfly: Hey! Just like Sensei Rooki-san!
Goku: Who is Rooki-san?
Blossom: Our teacher back in our world.
Bubbles: (giggled) Well, what do you know?
Bouquet: Guess the three principals of martial arts extends to other dimensions as well.
Buttercup: (confidently) HA! That's easy! Just watch this! (she tries imitating Master Roshi's Kamehameha Wave by mimicking his movements) Ka... me... ha... me... (but nothing's happening) Huh? Hmm... (she tries again) KA-ME-HA-ME-HA! (but nothing happens again)
Roshi: (he sighed and shook his head)
Buttercup: Hey! What gives!?
Roshi: It didn't work because your integrity was flawed, you lacked discipline and you weren't in balance with your spirit at all.
Buttercup: HEY! Now see here, grandpa! I've kicked plenty of bad guy butt back home, so I should be able to pull it off, no sweat!
Blossom: (sighed) Here we go again...
Roshi: (irritatedly growled) YA CRAZY KID! There's more to martial arts than just beating up bad guys! Besides, no one said it would be easy. It took me fifty years to master the Kamehameha Wave. And you could barely even create a single spark.
Buttercup: That long? Aw, MAN!
Goku: (giggled) Not for me it didn't.
Bouquet: (she turned to Goku) What do you mean, Goku?
Goku has flashbacks on himself from childhood to adulthood as he mastered the Kamehameha Wave over time.
Goku: Believe it or not, I learned to pull it off in no time flat, just by watching him! Although, I could only do it in short bursts, but I got better at it through some practice.
Butterfly: Wow... Talk about a fast learner.
Goten: Yup! My dad's the best when it comes to new tricks!
Blossom: Hey, can you show us how it's done, Goku?
Butterfly: (excitedly) Yeah! Show us how it's really done!
Goku: Okay, but I may have to turn it down a notch so you don't get overwhelmed. You ready?
Blossom: We're ready when you are.
Goku: Okay, Girls. Watch and…
But before Goku can get started, everyone hears loud thumping from inside the Kame House.
Bubbles: (fearfully) What was that…?
Roshi: (fearfully) Uh-oh... We've woken her up…
Buttercup: Who?
Goku: (nervously) Wait... Don't tell me...
A disgruntled and red-faced blonde woman bursts out of the front door and shouts at them.
?: HEY, YOU! KEEP IT DOWN WITH ALL THAT YACKING, WILL YA!? PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO GET SOME SHUTEYE HERE!
Goten, Trunks and the Girls are greatly frightened.
Girls: EEEEK!
Trunks/Goten: UWAAAAH!
Goku: Hoo-boy…
Roshi: Uh... S-Sorry about that, Launch! I was just…
Launch (Feisty): Hey! (she pushes Roshi aside) Butt out, grampa! I'm gonna smoke those noisemakers for disturbing my nap! (she brings out a bazooka)
Goku: (nervously) N-Now hold on, Launch!
Launch (Feisty): EAT ROCKET, LOUDMOUTHS!
Without hesitation, Launch fires her rockets at the Girls, but Buttercup managed to block every last one. Launch gasped in shock when she saw Buttercup blocked all of her rockets.
Buttercup: Hey! What's the big idea!?
Launch (Feisty): (growled angrily) Why you little... Those ones were my favorites!
Blossom: (fearfully) Hey you... CRAZY LADY! W-Where do you come off trying to blow up some innocent children!?
Launch (Feisty): Now see here, toots! I haven't gotten a wink of sleep in TEN STINKIN' DAYS! And the last thing I want right now is to be woken up by some STUPID LIGHT SHOW!
Roshi: (nervously laughed) My bad…
Launch (Feisty): (she knocked Roshi down) Shut it, gramps! (she turned back to Goku and the kids) Now, either you mugs get off this island and let me get some peace and quiet... OR I'M BRINGIN' OUT THE HEAVY STUFF!
Roshi: (he whispered to Goku) She's not kidding, Goku. You and the kids had better skedaddle.
Goku: Right. (he turned to Goten, Trunks and the Girls, nervously) Better grab onto me, kids. I uh... know somewhere else we can train.
Blossom: Good idea.
Goten, Trunks and the Girls grabbed onto Goku, but Launch is running out of patience.
Launch (Feisty): You've got five... SECONDS! (cocks bazooka)
Bubbles: (panicked) Hurry!
Goku: Later, Master Roshi!
Goku uses Instant Transmission to teleport himself, Goten, Trunks and the Girls off the island. The resulting draft causes a tingle in Launch's nose.
Launch (Feisty): A…A...AAACHOOOO!
Launch's hair instantly turned blue and she accidentally drops her bazooka. As it falls to the ground, the resulting jar causes it to fire a wayward rocket directly at Roshi.
Roshi: (shrieked)
Roshi catches the rocket in his hands and tries to contain it, but then it explodes, leaving him all black with soot.
Roshi: (coughed)
Launch recovered from her sneeze but her personality has changed dramatically. She has turned gentle and docile, and is shown to have a drowsy expression on her face.
Launch (Gentle): (she grumbles and rubbed her right eye) Did I miss something...?
Roshi: (sighed) You most certainly did. We've just had the first few guests in a long time and you went, and scared them off.
Launch (Gentle): (drowsily) Wh-What guests?
Roshi: Goku, Goten, Trunks and some kids.
Launch (Gentle): Really...? (yawned) I must be more bushed than I thought. I'm going back to bed.
Roshi: O-OH! Sure! Go right ahead, Launch! I'll be out here uh... soaking up some more rays! (nervously giggled)
Meanwhile back at Capsule Corp, Piccolo asked Vegeta for help. But when he asked him…
Piccolo: What do you mean... 'you'll pass?'
Vegeta: Do I seriously have to repeat myself? I'm much better off training with Whis than those clowns.
Piccolo: But that's the problem. Whis informed me about something strange that's been going on in other universes. He didn't say what, but whatever it is, it can't be good.
Vegeta: (he turned his head away and crosses his arms) Hmph! Well, if it's in those joke universes, then that's THEIR problem, not ours.
Piccolo: But for all we know, ours might be next. That's why we could use your help.
Vegeta: (he growled angrily) I'm not telling you again, Piccolo! I have much bigger fish to fry then training with Kakarot and his lackeys another second longer! (he calms down and grinned) Besides, if this 'something' DOES show up at our doorstep, I doubt it would be as much of a threat as Frieza or Zamasu combined.
Piccolo: (he pauses for a brief moment) Suit yourself.
Piccolo flies off and leaves Vegeta to his own devices.
Piccolo: (he talks to himself) Well, there's at least one thing I can do now. (he uses his telepathy) Gohan, Krillin, Tien, can you hear me?
Gohan: (offscreen, telepathically) Mr. Piccolo?
Tien: (offscreen, telepathically) I can hear you, Piccolo.
Krillin: (offscreen, telepathically) Same here. What's going on?
Piccolo: (telepathically) I want everyone to meet up at the Lookout. We may have a big battle on our hands.
Krillin: (offscreen, telepathically) A big battle?
Gohan: (offscreen, telepathically) Could it be Frieza?
Piccolo: (telepathically) No idea, but it might be something worse.
Krillin: (offscreen, telepathically, nervously) Gulp... Just great…
Gohan: (offscreen, telepathically) Okay, Mr. Piccolo. We'll meet up at the Lookout as soon as possible.
Tien: (offscreen, telepathically) Got it.
?: (offscreen, telepathically) Well, I'm coming too!
Piccolo: Huh?
Krillin: (offscreen, telepathically) You too, Chiaotzu?
Tien: (offscreen, telepathically) Chiaotzu, I understand your concern for me but this might be too dangerous for…
Chiaotzu: (offscreen, telepathically) NO! There's no way I'm letting you do this alone, Tien. Somebody's gonna have to back you up in case there's more trouble.
Piccolo: (telepathically) Very well. I'll see if I can notify Dende about this.
Meanwhile, at Goku's house…
Chi-Chi: (angrily, from inside) ABSOLUTELY NOT!
Loud clattering and banging can be heard inside and Goku and the kids franticly got out of the house.
Buttercup: Sheesh... She really knows how to get mad.
Bubbles: I can't believe that's the same lady that cooked your amazing lunch, Goku.
Bouquet: I'll say.
Blossom: And this must be your mom. (she turned to Goten) Right, Goten?
Goten: (nodded) Yup.
Goku: (pleading) Aw, c'mon, Chi-Chi! You've gotta have a heart! I promise I won't break anything!
Chi-Chi: (angrily) Not on your life, Goku! Not after you busted that tractor and haven't owned up for it! And where do you come off dragging some random little girls into your delinquency!?
Butterfly: (she turned to Goku) You never told us that tractor belonged to someone else!
Goku: (he scratches his head, embarrassed) Well... Yeah.
Chi-Chi: (sternly) And neither you or those kids are gonna get a second of training until you make up for your clumsiness and compensate for that tractor.
Buttercup: Well, that stinks.
Bubbles: What do we do now, Goku?
Goku: Uh... (he tries to think of an idea) Hmmm…
The Girls and the boys watched Goku's pondering in suspense.
Goku: (he talks to himself) Now, we can't go to King Kai's planet. He's furious at me for not keeping my promise.
Buttercup: (sighed) This is juuuust perfect…
Goku: (he got an idea) I GOT IT!
Blossom: What is it?
Goku grabbed the Girls and boys again, much to Chi-Chi's objection.
Chi-Chi: HEY! What do you think you're doing with those kids and my Goten!? YOU LET 'EM GO, YOU HEAR ME!?
Goku: Sorry, Chi-Chi! Gotta dash!
Goku uses Instant Transmission to teleport to another location, leaving Chi-Chi greatly flustered and frustrated.
Chi-Chi: Oh, no you don't! (Goku vanishes) GOKUUUUUUUUUUUUU! (sighed) Why do I even bother...
Goku and the kids reappeared in a place that completely bewilders the Girls.
Goku: (sighed) Phew! So much for training at home. Man... Chi-Chi can be quite a handful.
Buttercup: Tell me about it.
Butterfly: Well, hopefully there won't be any mad women here... (she looks around) wherever here is.
Blossom: Where exactly IS here anyway?
Bubbles: Yeah! First, we were in the city, then on a small island, then a cute little house in the mountains…
Buttercup: (she looks up at the palm trees) Now we're in Beverly Hills!? What's going on!?
Goku: Oh, this is the Lookout. It'll definitely be the perfect spot for our training.
Blossom: The Lookout?
Goku: It's where the Guardian of Earth watches over the whole planet, and it's so high off the ground.
Butterfly: What...? (she looks down from the Lookout) WHOA! I can see why!
The other Girls looked over the edge as well and realized what altitude they have just reached.
Bouquet: Whoa... We're so high up!
Bubbles: You can barely even see the ground from here!
Blossom: How can we be at this altitude already?
Butterfly: (she patted her head and sighed) I think I'm coming down with vertigo here…
Buttercup: (she turned to Goku angrily) Alright, Goku, SPILL IT! What's that crazy trick you used to get us up here!?
Goten: You mean you've never heared of Dad's Instant Transmission?
Buttercup: (she turned to Goten, confused) The Insta-what now?
Goku: Instant Transmission. A little trick I picked up from Planet Yardrat.
Bubbles: Like teleportation or something?
Goku: Well, kind of.
Bouquet: How does it work?
Goku: Hmm... (he scratches his chin) Now, how do I put this? Say you want to go somewhere in a flash. You concentrate real hard on not the place itself, but a person that's already there. You just lock on to their energy... and WHOOSH! You're there!
Buttercup: I... still don't get it.
Blossom realized what Goku was talking about.
Blossom: Oh, I see what you mean!
Goku: Hmmm?
Blossom: You must've locked on to Master Roshi's energy to get us to that island, and your wife's to get us to your home, right?
Goku: BINGO! Now you get the picture!
Bubbles: Neat trick!
Buttercup: Still I have to learn that technique the old man did right? Uh... What's it called again?
Butterfly: The Kamehameha Wave?
Buttercup: Yeah, that's the one.
Butterfly: You were gonna show it to us, weren't you?
Goku: That's right! Now, watch and learn, Girls!
Goku faced off the edge of the Lookout to perform a toned down Kamehameha Wave.
Goku: KA...ME...
Blossom: Better brace yourselves...
Goku: HA...ME...
Buttercup: Here it comes...
Goku: HA! (he fires a small Kamehameha Wave)
The wave flies off the edge and the Girls are not dazzled at all. They get a clear picture of the technique and are amazed by what Goku just pulled off. After demonstrating the technique to the Girls, he turns back to them and asks for their opinions.
Goku: How was that, Girls?
Bouquet: Impressive!
Bubbles: Neat!
Butterfly: Pretty!
Blossom: Fascinating!
Buttercup: Eh... Not quite as awesome as the first one but still pretty cool.
Goku: (giggled) Thanks.
Blossom: And it didn't look big enough to disturb anyone around here.
Buttercup: IF there's anyone here in this weird place.
Bouquet: Wait a minute...
Butterfly: What is it, Bouquet?
Bouquet: For Instant Transmission to work, Goku has to lock on to someone to get to his or her whereabouts, right?
Goku: That's pretty much the gist of it. Why?
Bouquet: This place looks deserted. Just who could you have locked onto to get us all the way up here?
Just then, a mysterious being with a turban instantly appeared right behind the Girls and greets them.
?: Hello.
The Girls got a terrible fright when they turned and saw the being directly behind them.
Blossom: A-And you are…?
Goku: Hey! Mr. Popo!
Mr. Popo: (he chuckled and waves back) Goku, I see you've brought some company.
Blossom: M-Mr... Popo…?
Buttercup: Let me guess... He's the Guardian of Earth, right?
Goku: (he shook his head) Nuh-uh, Mr. Popo's not the guy.
Bubbles: Then who?
?: Um... That would be me.
A mysterious green person with a staff walked up to Goku, Goten, Trunks and the Girls.
Goku: Yo, Dende! What's up?
Dende: Well, Piccolo just informed me about something big that may be headed our way.
Butterfly: Oooooh. What kind of big thing is it? Some kind of party?
Goku: Or maybe it's someone like Frieza.
Girls (except Buttercup): Who's Frieza?
Buttercup: Let me guess... (she crosses her arms) A bad guy.
Goku: You got that right, Buttercup. He's the biggest rival I fought back in the days.
Dende: No. It's not Frieza. Piccolo didn't say what it is but he's already notified the others about it. They should be up here really soon.
Goku: (grinned) Perfect!
Dende notices the Girls and walked closer to them.
Dende: By the way, Goku, who are your new friends?
Goku: Oh, yeah! Dende, Mr. Popo, I like for you to meet the Powerpuff Girls. That's Blossom.
Blossom: Hi.
Goku: Bubbles.
Bubbles: Hello.
Goku: Buttercup.
Buttercup: Hey!
Goku: Butterfly.
Butterfly: Hiya!
Goku: And Bouquet.
Bouquet: Hi there.
Goku: They came here from another dimension, which is where the Three-Star Dragon Ball had rolled off to for some weird reason.
Mr. Popo: (surprised) Well I'll be…
Dende: That's very strange. Not even I know how it disappeared like that, but I'm glad you Girls have found it.
Blossom: Always happy to help!
Bubbles: We all are!
Goku: (he cleared his throat) Anyway, I brought these Girls up here to do a little training if that's alright with you.
Dende: Of course they can.
Goku: Good thing too. Roshi's already got his hands full with Launch, and Chi-Chi's in a bit of a hissy fit over me skipping work.
Buttercup: (smugly) Your wife knows how to get steamed, just like Butterfly.
Butterfly: (angrily) WHAT WAS THAT, BUTTERCUP!?
Buttercup: (nervously) I-I-I didn't mean in a bad way, I meant in a good way!
Goku: (he turned to Dende) So uh... when do we get started?
Dende: Anytime when you're ready.
Goku: Great! Thanks, Dende.
Blossom: (she turned to Goku) Excuse me, Goku, can I ask you something about this 'spiritual energy of the Ki' thing?
Goku: Yeah? What about it?
Blossom: It takes a lot of hard work and discipline to unlock it, right?
Goku: Yes? Why do you ask?
Blossom: Well, I'm not so sure Buttercup would like that.
Goku: What do you mean? Did something happened?
Blossom: No. It's just that she thinks training's beneath her.
Buttercup: (she jumps in) You got that right. Training is just for noobs.
Goku: (shocked) Wha...?
Trunks: (angrily) What was that!?
Goten: That's not nice!
Blossom: Buttercup, do we really have to go over this AGAIN!?
Butterfly: Yeah! I'll have to use my telekinesis on you again, if you don't take this seriously.
Buttercup: (smugly) I'm REAL scared.
Blossom: Well, let's look at it this way. You want to learn how to do the Kamehameha Wave, don't you?
Buttercup: Yeah? (she crosses her arms) Your point, please?
Blossom: Well, you're gonna have to do a lot of training to pull it off.
Buttercup: AW, COME ON!
Blossom: Sorry, Buttercup, but that's the way it works.
Buttercup: (disgruntled) Well, fine. I don't need some fancy gimmicks to give bad guys a whoopin'.
Mr. Popo: (concerned) Oh dear...
Bubbles: Not again...
Bouquet: (gulped)
Dende: Hoo-boy... This might not end well.
Blossom: Buttercup, I acknowledge the fact that you're proud of your power and that you've beaten a whole lot of villains back home, but what if one comes along that proves too much for you to handle? What then?
Buttercup: Well...
Butterfly: And five of them did. The Black Puff Girls, remember?
Buttercup: Oh yeah. Them.
Blossom: So, if you want to get even with those Powerpuff impersonators, don't you think a little training would help you get a leg up on them?
Buttercup: (frustratedly groaned) I see your point, but I'm not going to enjoy it.
Butterfly: (she tries to cheer Buttercup up) Oh, I don't know. You might. Who knows?
Dende: (he turned to Bubbles) Has it always been that way with those two?
Bubbles: (sighed) Like you wouldn't believe it.
Bouquet: Yep. Blossom and Buttercup go together like oil and water sometimes.
Goku: I'll say. Just watching them argue is starting to remind me of Beerus and Champa.
Buttercup: So... What part of this 'training' are we gonna do now?
Blossom: Well, since we're just getting started, perhaps a little warmup?
Butterfly: (eagerly) Hey! That's a good start!
Buttercup: (unenthusiastically) Great...
Goku: Oh! But before we get started, you Girls need to have your own training partners.
Blossom: Oh, that's right! I remember you mentioning the others will be arriving here soon.
Butterfly: (whining) Awwww! How long do we have to wait for them to get here?
Just then, the Girls, Goku, Goten and Trunks heard distant voices calling from off the edge of the Lookout.
?: HEEEEEEEEEEEEEY! GOKUUUUUUUU!
Goku turned and looks up, and there he saw Gohan, Krillin, Piccolo, Tien and Chiaotzu flying towards the Lookout.
Goku: Hey! Looks like you don't have to at all! (to Krillin, waving) GREAT TIMING, KRILLIN!
Goten: (waving) HEY, BIG BRO!
Bubbles/Butterfly: (confused) Big bro?
Bouquet: Who are they?
Goku: These guys are going to be your training partners.
Bouquet: Them?
Goku: (nodded) Mmm-hmm. That's right.
Bubbles: They look really strong and confident.
Buttercup: (excited) No kidding! I can tell just by looking at them!
The five warriors landed smoothly on the Lookout and Goku gets right to introductions.
Goku: Let's get right to introductions. This is my long-time friend, Krillin.
Krillin: (waving) YO!
Goku: This is my older son and Goten's big brother, Gohan.
Gohan: Hey!
Goku: The tall green one over there is his teacher, Piccolo.
Piccolo: Hmph.
Goku: And here's Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu of the Crane Hermit School.
Tien: 'Sup.
Chiaotzu: Hi.
Gohan: (he noticed the Girls with Goku) Dad, who are those little girls with you?
Goku: Oh! That reminds me! Guys, I want you to meet my new friends.
Goten: (he jumps in front of Goku) They're called the Powerpuff Girls!
Trunks: (he jumps in front of Goten) Yeah! And they got these crazy powers like we've never seen before!
Blossom: Um... How do you do, fellas? (confidently) I'm Blossom!
Bubbles: Bubbles!
Buttercup: Buttercup!
Butterfly: Butterfly!
Bouquet: And Bouquet!
Krillin: (he looked at the Girls) Uh... No offence but they kinda reminded me of the Ginyu Force right there.
Goku: (nervously giggled) Funny story, Krillin. At first, I thought the same way about them too. Err.. but they're nothing like those Ginyu guys.
Blossom: (she flies up to Gohan) So you're Goten's big brother, huh?
Gohan: That's right. Nice to meet you, Blossom.
Blossom: (she shook hands with Gohan) Wow. Goku must really have his hands full.
Gohan: You're telling me.
Goku: (fondly giggled)
While the Girls make the acquaintance of Goku's friends, Buttercup garnishes her attention on Piccolo, as she buzzes around him, complimenting his physiques and asking to be his training partner, much to his annoyance.
Buttercup: Wow, and double wow! You look really strong!
Piccolo: (he grumbles angrily)
Buttercup: (she continues flying around Piccolo) No really, big green! You're so cool and calm and strong and awesome and stuff! (she stops flying around) Can you be my teacher too?
Bubbles: Take it easy, Buttercup. Just let him think for a minute.
Buttercup: Aww, but Bubbles! I really want to train with this g-
Irritated by Buttercup's constant chattering, Piccolo grasps and squeezes her tight.
Bubbles: (gasped)
Buttercup: (being squeezed by Piccolo) Argh... Easy on your grip…
Piccolo: Only if you're willing to experience TRUE PAIN!
Buttercup: (being squeezed by Piccolo) Whatever...you say.
Blossom: (she notices, smugly) Wow, Buttercup, for a moment, I thought you weren't the tiniest bit interested in training.
Buttercup: (she struggled in Piccolo's grip) Ngh! (to Blossom) Look, I was... thinking this guy was awesome, okay...?
Gohan sees this as well and tries to talk some sense into Piccolo.
Gohan: Hey, go easy on her, Piccolo!
Piccolo: (surprised) But Gohan... Isn't this how I trained you?
Gohan: Yeah, but that was then.
Bouquet: Then?
Bubbles: (nervously) Wh-What was he like?
Gohan: He was once a great evil and my Dad's first true enemy.
Gohan has a short flashback of when Piccolo took him aboard as a student and put him through his brutal, relentless training.
Gohan: Back when I was a little boy, when he took me aboard as his student, he forced me to fend for myself out in the harsh wilderness. When our training began, he kept lashing out at me relentlessly, pushing me to my limits under unfairness conditions.
Bouquet: Oh dear...
Bubbles: (gulped)
Buttercup: Yikes…
Gohan: At first, I thought he was just a cold-hearted monster who found amusement in my suffering, but as time passed, I knew deep down, that he saw my potential as a warrior. I knew there had to be at least some good inside of him, and I was right.
The flashback ended.
Gohan: Isn't that right, Mr. Piccolo?
Piccolo: (chuckled) You sure have come a long way since then.
Gohan: You know it. Now, would you please let go of her?
Piccolo: (he grumbles and lets go of Buttercup)
Buttercup: (panting)
Bouquet: Buttercup, are you okay?
Bubbles: That must've really hurt…
Buttercup: (she rubbed herself) I take back everything I said about that guy…
Piccolo: Hmph.
As Buttercup recovers from Piccolo's grip, Krillin, Tien and Chiaotzu observe the Girls and talk about how unusual they are as far as little girls go.
Krillin: (he turned to Tien) Just what kind of girls ARE they? I've never seen anything like 'em.
Tien: Beats me, but as far as little girls go, they certainly are a peculiar bunch.
Krillin: I know, right? I mean they already know how to fly like it's no big deal and... just look at their eyes. They're HUGE!
Chiaotzu: Hmm... I don't know, Krillin. I think they look kinda cute.
Tien: (surprised) Chiaotzu?
Krillin: (smugly) Aw, come on, Chiaotzu. Don't tell me you're developing a soft spot for them, aren't ya?
Chiaotzu: (shrieked) UWAA! (his face turns bright red) I-It's not like that! Anything but that!
Bubbles: (she instantly appears in front of Chiaotzu and shrieks joyfully) WHAT A CUTIE!
Chiaotzu: (terrify screamed)
Chiaotzu hides behind Tien, quivering in bashful fear, while Krillin and Tien started laughing at Chiaotzu's bashfulness.
Goku: (he walked up to Krillin, laughing) Boy. Chiaotzu sure is bashful, isn't he?
Tien: (chuckled) Come on, Chiaotzu. There's nothing to be scared about.
Chiaotzu timidly peers from behind Tien's back but when he sees Bubbles floating closer to him, he hides again.
Krillin: (chuckled) You can say that again, Goku.
Bubbles continues to chase Chiaotzu around the palm trees, while Tien watches from below.
Tien: (contently) Better watch out, Chiaotzu! She's going to get you!
Chiaotzu: Help me, Tien! She's right behind me!
Goku/Krillin/Tien: (they bursted out laughing)
Goku recovers from laughing so hard at Chiaotzu's dilemma and remembers something he had been meaning to ask Krillin.
Goku: (sighed contently) By the way, Krillin, I've been meaning to ask. How's 18 coming along? Haven't seen her since that big party after the Tournament of Power.
Krillin: Oh, she's doing fine. 18 just started looking for more employment a few months ago.
Goku: Well, Good for her! And what about Marron?
The scene cuts to a view of Marron in the hallway of the Capsule Corp building, cheerfully carrying Bulla around in a stroller.
Krillin: (off camera) Well, 18's been so busy looking for a job, that she just doesn't have enough time to look after Marron anymore, so she's arranged for Bulma to babysit her while she's out in the works.
Bulla: (giggles and coos cheerfully)
Marron: (smiles back) You sure are having fun, aren't you, Bulla? You're such a good baby.
Bulla: (giggled)
Marron and Bulla passed the door to the garage, completely oblivious to Pilaf shouting at his lackeys.
Pilaf: Hurry up, you dolts! Get me that fancy ginger one!
Mai: (she's holding a piece of Blossom's hair) It's right here, sire.
Pilaf takes the hair and connects it to the machine.
Pilaf: Now let's see what happens when we conduct electricity through this.
Pilaf connects the two electrodes to the device and the resulting discharge turns the entire garage into a freezer.
Shu: (he holds himself) Brrrr! It's f-f-f-freezing in here!
Mai: (she holds herself) I'll s-s-s-say!
Pilaf: (shivering) Now, g-g-go get me the b-b-black one!
Shu: C-C-C-Coming right up!
Shu gives Buttercup's hair to Pilaf and when he connects it to the machine, it turns the garage into a scorching oven.
Mai: (she started hopping as one of her feet got very hot) OOOO-AAAAAAH! HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT!
Shu: (he hops around frantically) OOH! OOH! EEEEEE! TURN IT OFF! TURN IT OFF!
Pilaf frantically disconnects the two electrodes and the temperature instantly goes back to normal. Shu and Mai sighed in relief.
Mai: Phew... That felt like we were in some kind of... easy bake office.
Shu: Yeah. A little too hot for my liking. I could've overheated for sure!
Pilaf: Will you two stop whining and fetch me that brown curly one!?
Shu: Uhhh... Don't ya think we've done enough experiments for one day?
Pilaf: I say when we're done! Now GIVE IT TO ME!
Mai: (she hands Butterfly's hair to Pilaf, fearfully) H-Here you go.
Pilaf connects Butterfly's hair to the device and grins diabolically.
Pilaf: Now, let's see what this one can do…
Shu/Mai: (fearfully whined)
Pilaf: And this time, we're going to give it... (he turns the power meter up) EVEN MORE JUICE!
Mai: (gasped) SIRE, ARE YOU INSANE!?
Shu: (nervously) Please don't get carried away! I think you're going a little too far with this thing!
Pilaf: Will you two shut up!? This is MY experiment and I can go as far as I want with it!
Pilaf carefully reconnects the two electrodes as his cronies watched in fearful suspense and an even stronger electrical current runs through Butterfly's hair.
Pilaf: (he got zapped) YEOUCH!
The garage begins to warp and ripple, and a strange humming sound is heard as the resulting feedback creates an anti-gravity field and everything in the garage turns weightless.
Mai: (she begins to float) Whoooooooaaaaa!
Shu: (he begins to float) Okay, this day just keeps getting weirder and weirder!
Pilaf: (panics) STOP GAWKING, YOU ABSOLUTE IDIOTS AND GET ME DOOOOOOOOWN!
Back in the hallway, Marron continues carrying Bulla in her stroller until they both started floating too. They became scared at first, but then started to enjoy it enormously.
Marron: Whoa! We're floating, Bulla! W-What's going on!? I'm scared!
Bulla: (she giggled as she floats out of the stroller)
Marron: Huh? You think this is fun? (she slowly starts to enjoy it too) Hey, you're right! This really IS fun! (she giggles and does a somersault) Wheeeee! (she continues giggling)
Marron and Bulla continued having fun in the hallway, bouncing off the walls and ceilings, and playing with the floating furniture, while back in the garage, the Pilaf Gang is still struggling to get their bearings.
Mai: Sire, would you please turn it off already!?
Pilaf: I would if you just help me get down!
Shu and Mai turned around and screamed in terror when they realize they are floating up towards a cloud of broken glass.
Mai: SIRE, HEEEEELP!
Shu: WE'RE GONNA GET DICED INTO RIBBONS UP HERE!
Pilaf: (growled angrily) GRRR! DO I SERIOUSLY HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING MYSELF!?
Back at the Lookout, the Girls are ready to start their training with the Z-Fighters. Blossom gets partnered with Gohan, Butterfly and Bouquet with Goten and Trunks, Bubbles with Tien and Chiaotzu, and Buttercup with Piccolo.
Gohan: I hope you're ready for this, Blossom.
Blossom: I'm ready for anything, Gohan.
Trunks: This oughta be fun.
Goten: You bet, Trunks!
Butterfly: (she turned to Bouquet) I wonder how hard those kids can hit?
Bouquet: I'm not sure, Butterfly. We'll have to find out for ourselves.
Tien: Be careful, Chiaotzu. She may look young but she might be very strong.
Chiaotzu: (he stared at Bubbles, quivering with fear) Y-You might be right, Tien…
Bubbles: Hey, you don't have to be afraid of me. (she walks closer)
Chiaotzu: (fearfully whined)
Buttercup watches them prepare for training and starts to have regrets about being partnered with Piccolo.
Buttercup: (thinking) Why do I have to be stuck with big green here?
Piccolo: (he crosses his arms) So, are you prepared for the challenge?
Buttercup takes a few seconds to build up her courage, then assumes her battle stance.
Buttercup: Bring it on.
An eerie silence befalls the Lookout as the Girls stare intensely at their appointed partners.
Meanwhile, Goku, Krillin, Dende and Mr. Popo watched from the sidelines. Mr. Popo takes a walnut, cracks it open with his hand and eats it, then takes another walnut and flicks it at a nearby gong, which rings loudly and begins the training match.
The Z-Fighters and the Girls came at each other at full bore, exchanging blistering bombardments of kicks and punches.
Blossom: Here goes!
Gohan: HYAAAAAAH!
Blossom and Gohan attacked each other with such lethal and relentless precision that they both turned to blurs before the spectators' eyes.
Goku: Wow! Look at her go!
Butterfly and Bouquet engaged Goten and Trunks with such ferocity as well.
Butterfly: Let's see what you boys got!
Goten: You betcha!
Bouquet: Here we come!
Trunks: No holds bar!
Bubbles cheerfully charges at a terrified Chiaotzu to tickle him into submission, only to get cut off by Tien.
Bubbles: Come here, cutie! Tickle, tickle, tickle! (she charges at Chiaotzu)
Chiaotzu: (terrify screamed)
Tien: Oh no, you DON'T! (he blocks Bubbles)
Bubbles: (she recovered) Hey! You're good at defending your friend. But can you handle my uppercut punch!? (she uses her uppercut punch at Tien)
Tien: (he blocks it and pushed Bubbles away)
Bubbles: (she recovered and turns hardcore) Oh, it's SO on now! (she screams and charges at Tien)
Chiaotzu: (terrified) Okay, now I'm scared…!
Chiaotzu rushes off to the sidelines as the competing Z-Fighters and Girls started resorting to energy attacks.
Goku: Man! What a fireworks show!
Krillin: (nervously) Somehow, I doubt it'll be doing the decor any favors…
Dende: Relax, Krillin. The Lookout can definitely handle this kind of punishment.
Goku: Well, one thing's for sure, everybody's REALLY giving it their all today!
Krillin: Y-You can say that again! (nervously chuckled)
As Goku and Krillin watched the fireworks, Piccolo attacks Buttercup relentlessly but she has a hard time keeping up with his onslaught and gets beaten up.
Buttercup: (groaned) Jeez... Talk about your killer moves, you sure are brutal…
Piccolo: And you're being sloppy! (he blasted Buttercup)
Buttercup: (she was sent flying backwards) WHOA! (she hits the ground, and sits up, groaned)
The Girls stopped training when they heard the commotion.
Girls (except Buttercup): BUTTERCUP!
The Girls rushed to Buttercup's aid and see how battered and bruised she got from training with Piccolo.
Blossom: Oh no, Buttercup! Are you okay?
Buttercup: I...I think so. (she groaned in pain) Man, that hurts…!
Piccolo: It's because you had to be so cocky.
Buttercup: (angrily) AM NOT!
Piccolo swats Buttercup away, sending her flying into one of the palm trees as it falls with a crash. The other Girls are greatly angered.
Blossom: Hey! That was uncalled for!
Bubbles: Yeah! Who do you think you are!?
Butterfly: And what reason do you have for treating your students so harshly!?
Bouquet: Ya big meanie!
Gohan comes right alongside the Girls.
Gohan: Um... They've... got a point, Mr. Piccolo.
Piccolo: (stunned) But Gohan, I…
Gohan: Look at them. They're just a bunch of little girls. You know, sweet, kind, playful and stuff.
Piccolo: But... you were like that when you were a little kid. Don't you remember?
Gohan: That's still no reason to go overboard like that. These girls look kind of fragile.
Piccolo looked back at the other Girls who were checking up on Buttercup. He finds himself at a loss for words as Buttercup's banged up body and ruffled hair reminds him of Gohan as a kid.
Piccolo: (sighed) Here we go again... (he calls out to Goku and Krillin) Hey! We need a Senzu Bean over here, stat!
Goku: You got it, Piccolo!
Krillin: Be right there!
Goku grabs a mysterious small bag as he and Krillin rushed right over to the Girls' aid.
Goku: (he runs over to Buttercup) Gangway over there!
Krillin: (he runs over to Buttercup) Medical division coming through!
The Girls dispersed as Goku and Krillin arrived with the bag.
Bouquet: Um... What's with that small bag?
Bubbles: And that tiny seed?
Goku: Just watch. This'll fix her up real good.
Goku brings a Senzu Bean out of the bag and carefully feeds it to Buttercup. She slowly chews on the Senzu Bean and swallows it. The other Girls watched in suspense until Buttercup instantly recovers with a start and jumps right back on her feet, with her fighting mojo restored.
Buttercup: WOW! What a rush! (she laughed and starts punching and kicking air enthusiastically)
Butterfly: (confused) Uh…
Bubbles: What just happened?
Bouquet: Yeah. What was that stuff?
Blossom: Whatever Goku just gave her, it made Buttercup all better like it was some kind of... miracle cure!
Buttercup: Hey! I'm more than all better! I feel like I can go a million MORE rounds! (she flies back to Piccolo)
Blossom: Wow. I don't think I've ever seen Buttercup so pumped up for anything before.
Krillin: Well, that's the power of Senzu Beans for ya.
Bubbles: Senzu Beans?
Krillin: Yup. Just eating one of these babies will help you recover from a serious injury like... (he snapped his fingers) …that!
Girls (except Buttercup): (impressed) Ooooooh...
Krillin: AND... you'll get a tremendous boost of energy too!
Butterfly: (eagerly) Ooooh! I want one! Gimme, gimme, GIMME!
Krillin: Ah-ah! Not so fast. Just one bean is equal to a whole MEAL! Guaranteed to keep you running for at least ten days. If you eat the whole bag at once, you're sure to get a serious belly ache and THEN we'd be in trouble.
Girls (except Buttercup): Gulp...
Butterfly: I didn't know that…
Goku: Okay, everybody. Let's get back to our training.
Girls (except Buttercup): Right!
The Girls got back to training with their assigned partners and the training carries on for the rest of the day.
Meanwhile in the darkest depths of another universe, a gargantuan fortress can be seen flying through a dark region of space. The Black Puff Girls have made it inside, wondering why their master would call them back so soon.
Bubbles Black: Wonder why the master called us back here?
Buttercup Black: I bet it's something good.
Butterfly Black: (smugly) I bet he wants to punish you for being such an obnoxious loudmouth.
Bouquet Black: (chuckled) Yeah! Obnoxious loudmouth!
Buttercup Black: (she turned to Butterfly Black and Bouquet Black angrily) HEY!
Blossom Black: Knock it off! We'll find out what the master summoned us for. It could be something very important for his collection.
The Black Puff Girls have made it to the throne room, where their master has been expecting them.
Blossom Black: (bowing down) Master, we have returned.
The other Black Puff Girls bowed down as their master which appears as an ominous black shadow with glowing eyes, stands up on his feet and turns around.
?: (chuckled) Children, you're just in the nick of time.
Blossom Black: What for, master?
?: I have just prepared a place for the final addition to my collection.
Black Puff Girls: (they become excited)
?: Once it has been filled, our universal superiority will finally be realized across the entire multiverse.
Bubbles Black: Well, that's some great news!
Bouquet Black: (she becomes worried) Um... I probably shouldn't ask... but what if the Omni-Kings find out about this?
?: Yes. I'm already aware of that and I'm certain they are already preoccupied with other pressing matters as we speak.
Buttercup Black: Such as?
?: (angered roar) SILENCE!
The throne room tremors amidst his roar.
Black Puff Girls: (they jumped with extreme fright)
?: (he calmed down) None of that matters right now. The time is nigh to show the lesser universes how entirely out of their league they are. And yes, I am fully aware of the 1st, 5th and 12th Universes being a cut above ours, but the purpose of my collection is not about climbing up the Mortal Ranking board. No. It's about keeping those inferior universes in their place and making them wish they had stayed erased!
The mysterious new villain chuckles menacingly and the Black Puff Girls joined him until they heard shouting from down the hall.
?: (from outside the throne room) Get your filthy hands off of me!
Black Puff Girls: (they looked back down the hall) Huh?
The two guards entered while dragging a shackled prisoner into the throne room. The prisoner is dragged into a spotlight and turns out to be Jiren…
?: Speaking of which…
The two guards zapped Jiren's legs with their spears, making him fall on his knees.
?: (he approaches Jiren menacingly) Jiren of the 11th. What immaculate timing. (he bends down to Jiren) Apparently, your power exceeds that of a Destroyer. That is indeed an impressive feat, but of course, it simply could not hold a candle to mine.
Jiren: (weakly) You won't get away with this, you savage…
?: Oh, I'm sorry. Did you say something?
Jiren: (weakly) One of these days... someone will come along to put you in your place... then you'll be punished for everything you've done... He'll make you regret your inter-universal conquest for sure…
?: Oh, really? And who might that be?
Jiren: (weakly) Goku…
The mysterious villain and the Black Puff Girls bursted into mocking laughter over what Jiren just said.
?: How quaint! This Goku you speak of just so happens to be the final steppingstone to my universal supremacy!
Jiren: (weakly) You don't even know who you're dealing with...! I've faced him once before...! And he's the greatest warrior of the 7th…!
?: And I'm sure he will provide more of a challenge then you ever did. I'll gladly pay him a little visit, but before that, how about one last trip down memory lane..?
The mysterious villain uses a powerful psychic ability that forces Jiren to relive his repressed memories. Jiren screams in pain as he heard a loud screech in his head. The guards step away from Jiren as he struggles to stand.
Jiren awakens to find himself in a more nightmarish version of his past and is forced to helplessly experience the loss of his family, friends and mentor all over again.
Jiren: Wh... What!? No! It can't be!
Jiren looks down and sees his village in flames, then hears his parents screaming.
Jiren: Mother... father... NO!
Just then, Jiren's horrifying past disappeared and he's back at the throne room where the mysterious villain is standing in front of him.
Jiren: Wh-What was that!?
?: Your tragic past. (he chuckled and uses the technique again)
Jiren has another horrifying vision of his past, this time when his master, Gicchin attempted to face the demon who attacked his village.
Jiren: (he sees his master and tries to stop him) Ah! No, master! Don't do it!
Jiren tries to grab his master but his hands go right through him, much to his shock.
Jiren: What…?
Gicchin phases right through Jiren like a ghost and he watches helplessly as the villain from his past pulverizes his master all over again. Jiren screams in dismay as he watches his master succumb to his injuries.
Jiren: This... This can't be real!
Suddenly, Jiren gets punched in the gut by a familiar shadow, which turns out to be Top, who appears to be fighting on the demon's side.
Top (Nightmare): Does that feel real to you, traitor!?
Jiren: (weakly) Top...? Why…?
A nightmare Dyspo appears beside Top, mocking Jiren for his former self-interest.
Dyspo (Nightmare): You always were chock full of yourself, weren't you Jiren?
Jiren: (weakly) That's...not true…
Nightmare images of Cocotte and Kahseral appeared next.
Kahseral (Nightmare): Don't lie to us! You never once cared for your fellow Pride Troopers!
Cocotte (Nightmare): It makes me sick to even think of you as one of us!
The demon turns his attention to Jiren as he, the Pride Troopers and Jiren's fellow students all gang up on him as he backs away in helpless terror. He finds himself backed against the wall as his fellow students and Pride Troopers surrounded and glared at him hatefully.
Jiren: Why are you all doing this!? Y-You've got me all wrong! I've changed!
Demon: Too late! You're all alone now. (he raises his hand) Always have been and always will be... FOREVER! (he laughed demonically)
The villain lunges his hand at Jiren and the nightmare ends with Jiren letting out a scream of absolute anguish.
Back in the throne room, Jiren has been turned into a statue in the middle of his last scream.
?: Hmph.
The Black Puff Girls came closer to the statue of Jiren.
Butterfly Black: Oooooh, look at that. Poor Jiren of the 11th has turned into stone.
?: Yes. Mag-nificent, isn't it? A most satisfying picture of anguish and madness. Don't you think so, children?
Blossom Black: (she nodded, and smiled wickedly) Hmm. Indeed it is.
The other Black Puff Girls nodded in agreement as well.
?: Ah. Children with exquisite taste. How admirable. (he turned to his guards) Guards!
Guards: Yes, master!?
?: Do take this lone wolf down to the gallery, would you?
Guards: SIR!
The guards took the statue of Jiren as they exit out of the throne room.
?: Yes. All the pieces are coming together now. Already I have claimed possession of the greatest champions from each of the lesser universes, and in doing so, achieved absolute dominion over them all... say for one.
Buttercup Black: So what's the plan, master?
?: (angrily) THE PLAN IS...!
The Black Puff Girls jumped with fright by the mysterious villain's anger.
?: (he calmed down) We are going to the 7th Universe to claim possession of their champion, the Saiyan warrior, Goku.
Bouquet Black: But... what about our imposters?
?: Ah yes, the Powerpuff Girls. And they're from another dimension, yes? Well, they'll be merely an inconvenience... so they're all yours, my children. You may do as much damage to them as it makes you happy, but leave Goku and his companions... to me.
Black Puff Girls: (bowed) Yes, Master Zulfer.
The shadow figure stepped into the light, revealing himself.
Zulfer: Good girls. (chuckled)
Zulfer proudly returns to his throne and presses a button that lets him communicate with the fortress' navigation room.
Zulfer: Commander Bassalt!
Bassalt: At your service, master!
Zulfer: The time has come! Set a course for the 7th and prepare Brimstrom for immediate Quantum Leap!
Bassalt: SIR!
The transmission ends and an alarm blares throughout the fortress.
Zulfer: Just perfect! Soon, my collection will be complete and cosmic supremacy will be OURS! (he maniacally laughed)
Black Puff Girls: (they laughed with Zulfer)
Back outside, Brimstrom warps the reality around it and vanishes into nothingness.
Back in the 7th Universe, Jaco is seen cruising around Pluto's orbit when he sees Brimstrom appearing out of a warp in space.
Jaco: WHOA! What's this!?
Jaco watches the fortress fly past Pluto and is left speechless by its mere presence.
Jaco: (panicked) Ohhhhhh, this looks serious! I'd better tell Lord Beerus about this!
Jaco dashes off to Beerus' Planet as Brimstrom slowly looms closer to Earth.
TO BE CONTINUED...
