Phineas and Ferb/Powerpuff Girls Crossover

Tri State Showdown

Chapter 1: The Case of The Missing Superpowers

Disclaimer: I don't own Phineas and Ferb. It belongs to Dan Povenmire & Jeff "Swampy" Marsh. I also do not own The Powerpuff Girls. That belongs to Craig McCracken, whom I am very disappointed to know will not have any role in the upcoming PPG special coming to Cartoon Network later this year. (Yes, apparently that's happening)

The sun was rising upon the City of Townsville, and everyone was starting to awaken, and that included the Powerpuff Girls.

Cuddled in their nice, warm bed surrounded by each other, Blossom, Buttercup, and then Bubbles each rose from the slumber, yawned, and greeted each other happily. They each jumped out of bed and walked to their closet, pulling out their respective accessories and colored clothing and dressing themselves quickly. As they were not yet utilizing their superpowers, they were completely oblivious to the glaring truth.

They walked downstairs - still oblivious - and joined the Professor, who was busy making pancakes for them. "Morning, girls! Lovely morning, isn't it?"

"I'll say. I don't remember sleeping that well in a while." Blossom remarked as the girls all took their seats at the table. "I guess that's our reward for doing such a great job cleaning up Townsville."

"No, your reward is this giant stack of pancakes." The Professor responded by bringing to the table a plate with a tall stack of freshly cooked pancakes. "But do you know what would make this batch of pancakes even more delicious?"

"Let me guess: your "world famous" freshly-made maple syrup?"

"Exactly! Bubbles, would you be a dear and head to my lab to get it?"

"I'll be back lickety split!" She exclaimed happily. She proceeded to rush off the chair attempting to fly, but upon doing so, she hit the ground hard and rolled over onto her back. The Professor and her sisters exclaimed in shock.

"BUBBLES!" They rushed to her aid and helped her off the floor.

"Bubbles, are you OK?" Blossom asked.

"I-I think so." Bubbles responded, rubbing her head. "Ow..."

"What the heck was that?" Buttercup exclaimed, both concerned for her sister's well being and unsure as to what was actually happening.

"I don't know. I couldn't fly!"

"Maybe you just weren't focused. Try it again." Blossom urged, to which her sister got herself into position and leaped into the air, hoping to levitate. But no such luck: she came crashing down again. "Uh oh."

The Professor was immediately worried, but secretly hoped that the girls were merely playing a trick on him. "Girls...please tell me this is a cruel joke you're playing on me."

"Professor, we would never play a trick on you with our superpowers." Blossom retorted.

"At least not until Halloween..." Buttercup said under her breath, which forced Blossom to discreet nudge her in the arm.

"Hang on, let me try something." Blossom turned away from her sisters and proceeded to inhale and then exhale hard. To her shock and dismay, her ice breath wasn't working. She immediately went into a state of panic. "My ice breath! I-I don't have my ice breath."

Bubbles took in a deep breath and let out a loud scream in an attempt to use her sonic wail power. While her scream was loud, it didn't shatter any glass, which comes with the territory. Bubbles was also sent into panic mode. "My sonic scream isn't working either!"

"All of our powers are gone!" Buttercup shouted, now also worried. "Professor, what the heck is going on?"

"I guess one of the villains must have hit you with something that caused you to - hopefully temporarily - lose your powers."

"No, not really. We really got off scott-free yesterday, and we even had our powers as soon as last night. Remember? We were up late last night doing some extra training in the simulator."

"I finally made it to level 20." Bubbles chimed in, smiling from ear to ear.

"Well then whatever zapped out powers must've happened while we were sleeping." Buttercup reasoned. "But what? It's not like it could've been any of our villains. We put them all in jail yesterday."

"Maybe they did it while they were in jail. Like on our birthday." Bubbles suggested. (Like in the episode "Birthday Bash")

"There's only one way to find out." Professor stepped in. "Girls, to my lab! I've got some research to do."

So the four of them headed down to the Professor's lab where he sat them down on his disk and began performing several tests on them, testing their physical health as well as their molecular structure and their psyche. He ran the tests through his computer while the girls expressed frustration at the lack of answers the tests seemed to be providing.

"This isn't making any sense!" Professor said out loud. "According to all of these tests, all three of you have immaculate health and psyche. There is nothing here that indicates you should have lost your powers so suddenly. So it has to have been an outside force. Hold on, girls. I'm going to do a molecular scan of the Tri-State Area and see if there was any suspicious activity within the last 24 hours."

"Why the whole Tri-State Area?" Blossom asked. "Isn't Townsville enough?"

"Well you never know, girls. Strange things can happen from anywhere. It can't hurt."

So the Professor sent the girls back up to their room to relax while he continued working in his lab. While in their room, the girls grew bored and frustrated. They felt helpess in the fact that they had no answers to go on for the time being. "This stinks!" Buttercup shouted. "We have no superpowers, no answers...it's like we've been thrown into the wind or something."

"Buttercup I know this is frustrating. But we have to have faith in the Professor." Blossom said to her sister. "Has he ever let us down before?"

"How far back are we talking?"

"Come on, girls. If we're gonna be waiting for some unexplained answer that we might never get, we might as well keep ourselves occupied." Bubbles said. "Let's do what we always do on a rainy day: play a game of pretend!" She went towards the bed and started rummaging underneath, looking her favorite toy...a purple octopus named Octi. Unfortunately, when Bubbles retrieved the octopus from underneath the bed, she discovered to her horror that the toy had been shrunk to the size of a pebble. Distraught, Bubbles let out a loud and roaring wail. "OCTI!"

Buttercup and Blossom ran over to their distraught sister. "What's wrong?"

Bubbles held out her shrunken toy. "Look what happened to Octi! He's shrunken!"

"How did that happen? I thought it was dry clean only."

"I don't know. When I went to sleep last night Octi was just fine." She immediately glared at her sisters, who instantly took the hint.

"Whoa whoa! Bubbles, you can't possibly think we had something to do with it, do you?" Blossom asked.

"Hmm, I don't know, Blossom. You tell me since you're the one always saying I need to outgrow him and that my failure to do so is stunting not only my emotional development but also my psychological development."

Blossom blinked twice. "I've never used any of those words on you before."

"Yeah, but I looked it up the Internet. What? You're not the only one that knows how to use the Internet."

"GIRLS!" The Professor called from down in his lab. "COME DOWN HERE! I THINK I HAVE SOMETHING!"

The girls ran to the lab as fast as they could. The Professor had papers scattered all over the lab. "Girls, I think I've figured out what happened to your powers."

"Really? That's great, Professor!" Blossom exclaimed, and her sisters shared in the excitement.

"I did a molecular and nuclear scan of the Tri-State Area and found that there was some suspicious activity early yesterday afternoon from one specific location." He handed the girls one of his papers for them to study.

"Wait, yesterday afternoon? But that doesn't make any sense. We had our powers through the night. If something happened to us before then, wouldn't we have lost our powers earlier?"

"That's what I thought, but I suppose it was a delayed effect."

"I don't recognize this address at all." Buttercup exclaimed, still studying the paper. "This doesn't sound like anything in Townsville."

"You're right, Buttercup. I think it's in the next town."

"How come we've never visited the next town?" Bubbles asked.

"I guess there's a first time for everything, Bubbles-"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, WHOA!" Professor shouted, waving his arms around to get their attention. "Girls, you can't possibly think I'm going to let you just walk out of this house powerless and go to the next town, do you?"

"Well what else should we do? It's not like we have other options."

"We have plenty of options? I could just make another batch of Chemical X and splash it on you to give you back your super powers. Besides, you don't know what dangers lie out there. For all we know, the villains in that town might make the villains here look like the Grinch."

"So...you're saying they're not funny?"

"But Professor, we're the Powerpuff Girls! Even without our superpowers, it's still our job to save the day. If this has the potential to turn into something that threatens our way of life, wouldn't you want us to be there to fight the crime?"

"I...I guess, but-"

"We can watch out for each other, Professor. We'll be fine. Please? We can't risk just letting this go and it turning out to be something major that we could've prevented earlier."

Professor looked his daughters in the eyes. Their words were sincere and their points were solid. But there was nothing that horrified him more than the thought of him losing them and not being able to do anything about it. "Fine...but on one condition..."

"We told you we're never using D.Y.N.A.M.O. again."

"No, no, no. Not that." He rushed to his cabinet and pulled out three extra-tiny video cameras that he quickly proceeded to attach to their dresses. "Wear these. They're microscopic cameras that'll send a live feed back to my computer so I can monitor whatever you get into as if I'm looking through your eyes. That way, if you girls get yourselves into any trouble, I'll be able to figure out how to get you out of it."

The girls sighed. "Professor, why do you have to be so overprotective?" Buttercup asked, crossing her arms.

"Because, Buttercup, I love you girls, and I couldn't stand the thought of anything ever happening to you."

"We'll be fine, Professor." Bubbles chirped. "We promise."

Even though he was still hesitant, he knew that there was no changing their minds. So he strapped the mini cameras onto their dresses and showed them the front door. Blossom was holding the paper with the address on it. "Don't you worry, Professor. We'll beat the bad guy and be back before you know it."

"Good luck, girls. And remember, I'll be watching in case anything goes wrong!"

"Nothing's gonna go wrong!" Buttercup said with a hint of agitation in her voice. "We're superheroes! We fight crime, even when the odds are against us. We'll be OK." Blossom proceeded to hail a cab.

"Besides, it's not like there are any other heroes out there that can fight bad guys and protect the town..." Bubbles added. The innocence was noticeable, but Bubbles could not have been more wrong...

Meanwhile, in Danville, at the Flynn-Fletcher home, Phineas and Ferb were getting ready to start their day. They had their blueprints in hand and were headed for the backyard. Their friends Isabella - who had a huge crush on Phineas - Buford, Baljeet, and Irving were entering the backyard as well.

"Hey guys!" Isabella said happily, walking over to Phineas. "What'cha doin'?"

"Today we're building our own backyard carnival! Complete with everything - Ferris wheel, game booths, food stands, you name it!"

"Will there be a tunnel of love? O-Or a kissing booth?" Isabella asked sweetly; her attempts to get Phineas's romantic attention often fell flat. But she never stopped trying because deep down she knew he did care about her, even if it wasn't the way she wanted.

"If that's you want, then sure." He responded; she sighed lovingly. "Hey, where's Perry? He would totally love all of this!"

Their pet platypus was inside, sleeping in his bed. Unbeknownst to anyone (except for Stacy of course) he was a secret agent that worked for an organization known as the O.W.C.A. - Organization Without a Cool Acronym. He fought on a daily basis with a mad genius who was bent on taking over the Tri-State Area. So every day he sneaked off in one cool fashion or another and made his way underground to his top secret lair.

Once there he sat down in his chair and turned his screen on. Expecting to see his boss, Major Francis Monogram, ready at the screen, he was surprised to instead see his son, Monty Monogram, standing there.

"Hey there, P. Sorry my dad's not here. He's, uh...he's investigating a matter of national security!" He spoke in a triumphant tone before falling flat. "Alright, he's blowing off work to watch a "Ducky Momo" marathon on TV. But that's what he told me to say to anyone who asked."

"Why does he get to play hooky and I don't?" Carl, Monogram's unpaid intern, asked off-screen.

"Anyway, we've got bigger issues, P." He held up a piece of paper. "I have intel that says Dr. Doofenshmirtz was seen late yesterday afternoon doing something with someone and is going to cause chaos somewhere."

"That's terrible intel! Seriously we need to overhaul that area." Carl spoke again, drawing a raised eyebrow from Monty.

"Carl, this is your report." Monty said. Carl blushed.

"Oh. Right."

Monty turned back to Perry. "Anyway, P, just go out there and see what Doof's up to this time."

Perry saluted, albeit uncomfortably, leaped out of is chair and ran off, exiting his lair almost as quickly as he entered. Once he returned to the surface, he took out his motorcycle and went cruising towards the lair of his nemesis.

On the other side of town, the cab that the girls had hailed pulled up to the curb to let them out. "Sorry, girls. This is as far as I can take ya." The driver hollered to them as they exited the car. Blossom handed the driving some bills.

"Thanks, Al."

"Good luck!" He shut his door and drove off, leaving the girls to defend themselves.

"According to this, it looks like our target is pretty close."

"What do we do when we get there?" Buttercup asked. "It's not like we can just bust in. We don't have our superheroes. Besides, it would look pretty silly especially if we're wrong."

"But what if we're right? If this turns out to be some sort of life-threatening plan we have a right to try and stop it."

As the girls were conversing, Perry ended up driving right towards them. Acting quickly, he managed to cover his fact with a large trench coat that draped towards the street. As the vehicle passed the girls, they quickly turned to see. They did not catch a glimpse of Perry underneath the trench coat, but they were suspicious nonetheless.

"Wonder what that guy's problem was." Buttercup remarked.

"Never mind him. We need to get moving again!"

They sprinted towards the location they were directed to go to. Out of breath and winded, they finally arrived. "I think...this is the place..." Blossom said, matching the address on the paper to the building in front of them.

What they didn't know was that the building they were standing in front of belonged to the "evil" genius Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz, a.k.a Perry's nemesis.

Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated!

Thus, understandably, the girls were intimidated upon hearing his infamous jingle for the first time. "Why is the building shaped like the letter F?" Bubbles asked.

"And what's with the jingle? Narcissistic much?" Buttercup added.

"Come on. We don't have time to waste."

"But where do we start? This building has to be at least 30 stories high. How do we know which floor to look on?"

"I guess we'll just have to try every one of them." While Blossom was talking, Bubbles drifted her attention away and noticed something on the side of the wall. She could not make out its shape, but it turned out to be Perry scaling the wall of the building. Bubbles lightly tugged on Blossom's dress. "What is it, Bubbles?"

Bubbles pointed in the direction she was looking; Buttercup and Blossom both turned their attention in the same direction and noticed Perry climbing the wall, though they could not immediately tell what it was. "What is that?"

"Looks like someone trying to scale the wall rather than go through the front door." Buttercup responded.

"Interesting. Wonder why he wouldn't just use the front door..."

"Maybe he'll lead us to the villain we're looking for?" Bubbles suggested.

"Or maybe he is the villain we're looking for, Bubbles."

"Only one way to find out!" Blossom declared. "Follow him!" So they ran after Perry, still completely unaware that both Perry was actually a playpus and a good guy, and that he was not the villain they were after. But following Perry was going to send the girls on the adventure of a lifetime.

And for three five-year old superheroes who fight crime before bedtime, that's saying something.

End of Chapter 1.

I know this chapter isn't great, but I promise it's going to get much better.

Also I've decided that for the time before I'm going to leave this story in the Phineas and Ferb section even though this does technically belong in the crossover section. The reason is that I'm afraid if I leave in the crossover section before it's complete it'll just sit there and nobody will read it, given that there are only 3 other PPG/PnF crossover fics on this site.

And as always, read & review!
