To Boldly Go Where No Puff Has Gone Before

Disclaimer: I do not own the Powerpuff girls and their related content, as they belong to Craig McCracken and Cartoon network. I also do not own anything that is related to the Star trek Universe, which are created by Paramount Pictures. However I do own the idea for the design of the Starship, the USS Dynamo, and several made up alien races scattered throughout the galaxy. Everything else, like the galaxy quadrants, warp drives…etc belong to startrek.

A/N:This is a slightly similar Powerpuff Girls version of the "Startrek Voyager" series. There is bound to be some violence, so this will be rated "R" in later chapters for graphic scenes and language.

And now on with the story!!

Chapter 2: First Contact

"Oh no! We're being sucked in!" Brick heard Blossom yell beside him. He watched in horror as outside the view screen, the space outside Pluto was slowly being removed as the ship was being pulled backwards into the wormhole. The view of the bridge was total chaos as the ship was rocked back and forth in front of Brick eyes. The console in front of him suddenly increased in brightness and Brick saw himself grab Blossom and flung her back towards the back of the Bridge. The console exploded.

Brick snapped awake and sat straight up. Cold sweat was pouring down his face. He looked around his surroundings and noticed he was in the sickbay. Suddenly the remnants of the dream became clearer and he knew it had already happened. "Just what happened?" He spoke out loud. Blossom was asleep on the bed beside him. She awoke at his voice and looked at him. "You're awake! Thank goodness." She hovered over to give him a kiss and they embraced for a moment. Brick asked her, "What exactly happened? I don't remember anything else except me getting you to safety." She smiled and replied, "You were knocked out by that explosion. The ship exited the wormhole on the other end, and now we're stranded somewhere in the galaxy, lost I guess." She told him about the details about their whereabouts. He nodded and felt the same way, a slight sense of dread and hopelessness. "Well, we have to first try and see if we can get this ship to move again…we have to begin the first steps home."

Meanwhile Butch and Buttercup was in Engineering. Buttercup sat on a railing as she watched Butch open a panel and inspects the parts inside. It was a mess, with wires and tubes tangled and torn from their connections. Butch checked the warp engines in engineering through the warp core. The core was stable. Apparently it survived the wormhole. Butch went over to a console that was still working and typed in the instructions to begin a systems diagnostic. A list of all offline and online systems on the ship came up. Butch whistled in shock. "Damn! We have a lot of repairing to do… at least the auto repair drones are working…so we don't have to do everything, one at a time." Butch activated the auto repair drones, and panels around engineering opened up, and several hovering metal balls were released. They went over to Butch's console and scanned the list of damaged stations. They then hovered out of engineering to go around repairing the ship, while some remained to take care of the damage in engineering.

A new window opened up on Butch's console, and it showed the overall progress and time estimated to repair the entire ship to working status. "Whoa, this is cool!" Butch said. Buttercup was just glad that they could start moving soon. "In 2 hours exactly, we'll be on our way home." Butch spoke up after he dusted his hands off. "I hope so…" His girlfriend muttered, looking a bit sad. She hasn't expected this to happen. "What's gonna happen to Townsville while we're gone? Damn it! Mojo Jojo is probably gonna take over everything!!" She thought to herself. Butch gave her a kiss on the cheek. "Don't worry, we'll get home somehow, and they'll manage…hey that's what the police were originally designed for…they'll manage without us for a while." The two of them looked up as the hatch opened and Brick and Blossom flew in.

"What the hell was those things?!" Brick asked his brother. "Dude, they're just repair drones, chill out!" After a brief silence between the brothers, Brick spoke up again. "Are the warp engines working?" Butch shook his head, "Nope, not now. The drones are at work to restore all our systems. I have ordered them to get the propulsion systems online first." "Ok, good. I'm hungry, wanna go to the mess hall?" Brick spoke. "Darn 'bout time! I'm hungry doing all the repair work!" Butch and Buttercup responded at the same time. The 4 kids chuckled a minute later as they left the engineering room and headed for the mess hall.

The door opened and Bubbles greeted her sisters and friends. "Hey! You guys gotta try this Spaghetti!" Boomer nodded and mumbled, "Yum…Delicious!!!" "They're eating and having a nice time…to at least put the unpleasant feelings away. Well, I guess I can't sulk forever… join them!" Blossom thought to herself as she saw how happy her sister looked.

While they ate, they talked about what they're going to do. "Well, we don't even have the detail star charts of this part of the galaxy…I tell you what, we're lost." Boomer explained the situation. "Not just that, we're already using a lot of provisions doing the repairs and just traveling. The warp drive can't run forever you know." Butch added. Brick thought for a moment. "Well, we do have a faint idea what course to plot to go home. Perhaps we should scan for a place with sentient life to seek help…and probably try and trade for supplies…" he suggested. Blossom looked up at the idea and said, "like a space station?" "How the hell are we going to persuade the aliens? We don't even know their language!" Buttercup objected. Bubbles glared at Buttercup and said, "Helloooo?! I have the ability to understand and speak any language! I'm a walking universal translator, have you forgotten?!" Buttercup just sighed and continued the discussion.

A thought came to Butch. "What if the aliens that we run into are hostile? We have no weapons onboard the ship." "Well, we could fly out in our suits and defend the ship. The professor has reinforced the visors to allow our eyebeams to go at full blast." Blossom added. "Well, that wouldn't be very wise…I say we should do that as a last resort." Brick commented. "Very well, you're the captain!" Boomer exclaimed.

A minute later, the computer chimed. Propulsion systems repaired. Warp drive and primary thrusters at 100 percent efficiency. "Great! Let's get moving!" The kids cheered all together as they rushed to the bridge. The other systems are already being 75 percent repaired. Brick took control of the helm controls after the repair drone was done with it and increased the throttle carefully. "Bubbles, see if you can scan for any life around us… let's hope we can find someone who can help." The ship moved forward as Bubbles initiated a long-range scan.

Meanwhile, some thousand kilometers away from them was a ship that had just escaped a pirate raid. The alien controlling the ship looked humanoid. He had reptilian features on his skin and face. His face looked like almost like an evolved komodo dragon.

The alien was struggling to get his ship's systems to run properly. After barely escaping the pirate raid, his ship took heavy damage. Shields had failed and the propulsion was no longer working. Life support was just on the brink of failure. The alien decided that he should send a distress signal. He pressed a button and hoped someone would come to his aid.

As the Dynamo moved forward at a stable pace, Bubbles detected a ship a few thousand kilometers off their starboard side. Blossom's screen lit up and she pressed it. The computer read it as a distress call. She pressed a button to play the message and an alien voice was heard. "Derdzas! Mesa goon Derdzas! Mokkara daj eifk!" The kids were confused except Bubbles. She translated for her companions. "(Help! I need help! Life support is failing!)" Blossom noticed the signal came from the ship that Bubbles had detected. "Well, shall we Brick?" Brick nodded and turned the ship towards the location. He prepped the ship to jump to warp and jumped. The ship lurched forward and jumped. Brick then disengaged it the 15 seconds later and they appeared just off the disabled ship's bow.

The alien detected a ship dropping out of warp next to him. He nervously checked it's signature. It registered as an unidentified ship class in his database. His scans said the ship has no weapons on it so he was relieved. He opened the communications channel and hailed the ship. Bubbles voice could be heard coming from the other side, speaking in his language. "(Don't worry, we're friendly and we'll help you out. Hold still!)" The next moment the alien dematerialized and rematerialized in the Dynamo's matter transporter. The kids waited to offer help to him there. The alien looked at them in bewilderment. He had never seen species like the ones that saved him. And interestingly, the atmosphere on their ship was breathable. He spoke his thanks. "(Thank you for helping me. My ship was attacked by a band of Klazi pirates! If you hadn't come sooner, I would have been dead!)" Bubbles nodded and replied, "(You're welcome! Excuse my friends and family, they don't have the gift to understand and translate your language.)"

The alien smiled and walked over to the kids. He took out a little round device and placed it in Bubbles hands. "(This is an universal translator unit. Since you know both your own language and mine, perhaps it could help to add an entry of your language into the unit.)" Bubbles nodded and took the small device. Blossom looked at her in confusion. "I hope she knows what she's doing." Bubbles placed the device on her head and it applied a scan and it flashed red and then green. "(it's done, you can give me the device now.)" Bubbles nodded and handed the alien the device. He put it into his ear and it activated. "There we go, now I can speak your language." The other kids looked at the alien with bewilderment. "Wow, so that's what it does!" Brick commented. "Yes, it's a nice little device. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Dranico, and I'm a Palaxian. And you are?"

The kids replied and introduced themselves to him. "Ah, you're female and male. The males are Brick, Butch, and Boomer. And the females are Blossom, Buttercup, and Bubbles, correct?" The kids nodded. "Interesting names. And, Earth…I have never heard of it." "it's a long story…" Buttercup spoke. The kids told him of their predicament. "My, that is dreadful. Well, I can help you out. After all, you did save me and I owe you my life. I was shipping my cargo of goods to a space station to be sold some distance from here before I got attacked by the pirates." The kids listened to his story. "And you need a guide to get you out of this quadrant. Perhaps after I sell my goods, I'll help divert my credits to refitting your ship with necessary equipment and come aboard your ship as a guide, if I may. As my own ship is destroyed now, there is no use for me." He continued. The kids thought about it and agreed. "Great!" The Dynamo beamed aboard the rest of the supplies and goods that were in Dranico's ship.

At the Bridge, Dranico took a seat at the passenger seats. "My, this is some ship you have." "thanks! Now, where should I plot the course to get to that station of yours?" Dranico gave them the directions and Brick plotted the course into the computer. He and Blossom activated the warp preparation sequence. "hang on, our warp system maybe a bit different to what you're used to." "What do you mean? I've been through so many warp flights…" Dranico was cut off when the ship was pulled into a warp factor of 3. It would take them about an hour to arrive.

The kids have already found a friend and companion to act as their guide to navigate the Delta Quadrant. Soon enough, they will be able to get home. However they are unaware of the dangers that stand in their way, but nonetheless, they are prepared.

A/N: And there's the end of Chapter 2! Quite short, but that's what these chapters in this fanfic are supposed to do. But I promise you, as the plot thickens, the chapters will get slightly longer. Stay tuned for Chapter 3, "The Station"! Please Review and no flames please!
