Phineas and Ferb/Powerpuff Girls Crossover

Tri State Showdown

Chapter 4: The More, The Merrier

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)

Meanwhile, back in Danville, Phineas, Ferb, and their friends were about to begin the day's project. The supplies were arriving in truckloads, and Phineas was busy signing the paperwork.

"Aren't you a little young to be building yourself a carnival in your backyard?" Paul the Delivery Guy asked Phineas as the boy handed back the clipboard.

"Yes. Yes we are." Phineas responded.

"Well, good luck, kids."

"Bye Paul!" The kids waved goodbye to Paul as he got back in his truck and drove away. Then they turned around and faced the giant stack of supplies waiting for them in the backyard. "Take a good look, guys. In a matter of minutes, all of this junk could turn into our very own backyard carnival."

"With a "Test Your Strength" game!" Buford added.

"And a House of Mirrors!" Irving added.

"And a Tunnel of Love..." Isabella swooned, leaning towards Phineas. The boy smiled as she said this, even though he didn't quite understand what she was referring to. But as the kids were getting ready to start building, Candace, Phineas and Ferb's sister, came storming out.

"You two!" She bellowed. "Jeremy's coming over today and I don't need you two and your wacky inventions ruining it today!"

"Don't worry, Candace. We'll be outside today designing our own carnival."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah! Just do-wait, did you say carnival?"

"Yeah. Since the Danville Carnival is closed for repairs today, we figured we'd make our own."

Candace pondered on that thought briefly. "Do you think your carnival would have room for two more?"

"You are Jeremy and more than welcome to join us."

"But I want first dibs of the Tunnel of Love with Phineas!" Isabella shouted, wrapping her arm around Phineas's shoulder. When she realized what she had done, she quickly let go of Phineas, who smiled. He still didn't quite understand it, but he liked it nonetheless.

"You'd...you'd really let me and Jeremy be a part of your little summer project?"

"Everyone's welcome to join in the fun. What's the point of having summer vacation if you can't share it with the people you love?"

Candace briefly pondered the thought. "Well, I guess you got me there. Sure, I'd love to join. But I'm busting you to Mom afterwards!"

"Great! Just give us about an hour to finish setting everything up."

"Awesome. I'm gonna call Jeremy and tell him the change of plans." She took out her smartphone and started dialing his number. Phineas and the others returned to construction.

"You know, Isabella, if you really want first dibs on the Tunnel of Love, I'd be happy to go with you." Phineas stated to her, leaving the girl quite shocked.

"R-Really?"

"Yeah. Ferb and I were thinking of adding some slopes here and there to make it more fun. Here." He took out a blueprint for the Tunnel of Love they were building and showed it to Isabella. She studied it briefly. "It's gonna be fun!" He took the blueprint back and returned to the construction scene. While Isabella was slightly disappointed, she couldn't help but giggle. Phineas's ever-growing optimism was a source of frustration for her, but it was also a source of attraction. She couldn't ask him to stop being who he was and she had no intention of doing so.

Monkey Boy's Evil Observatory! (Yes, because it's catchy!)

Meanwhile, in Townsville Park, there stood a large dormant volcano, and on the very top of that volcano rested an observatory built by a genius monkey named Mojo Jojo bent on taking over the world and destroying the Powerpuff Girls. But today, he was enjoying his morning. He sat at the breakfast table enjoying an omelet and sipping a mug of coffee.

His morning ritual was interrupted when his phone began ringing. Grunting, he stood up and walked over to the phone. "Observatory of Mojo Jojo, super evil genius bent on destroying the Powerpuff Girls. This is Mojo Jojo, super evil genius bent on destroying the Powerpuff Girls, speaking."

"Mojo!" Yelled the voice on the other line.

"H-H-HIM?" The voice Mojo was talking to was none other than HIM, a.k.a the most evil creature that ever walked the face of the Earth.

"Mojo, are you sitting by your computer?"

"No, I am sitting at my breakfast table enjoying a nicely cooked omelet and drinking coffee. Why would I need my compu-"

"Well then get to your computer! There is something you need to see!"

"Can this not-"

"No, it can't wait!"

"OK, OK! I'm going. But if my omelet goes cold, so help me I'll-" He grumbled the last part to himself as he stood up and walked out of the kitchen and towards his computer. On the phone, HIM gave him the URL address of a website. Mojo reluctantly entered the URL into his computer; he was taken to the main homepage of the L.O.V.E.M.U.F.F.I.N. website. He clicked on the various links HIM instructed him to click on before reaching the eventual destination: the blog that Doofenshmirtz had posted earlier...the one with the picture of the girls trapped in a glass tube.

"What!?" Mojo shouted in frustration. For years, his one and only goal was to destroy the Powerpuff Girls and take over the world. He tried and failed over and over again in this task but never gave up. But the one thing he hated was the grim reality that somebody else could just swoop in and do his job for him and better. "This is an outrage! That pharmacist has made a mockery of my life's work! Work that I have spent my entire life performing! What is this atrocity?"

"So you see my point?" HIM asked, still on the phone.

"Yes! Somebody has outdone us for possession of the Powerpuff Girls! This is an outrage! We cannot allow this to stand! But...what do you suggest we do? What is the course of action that we should take to rectify this grave injustice?"

"I don't know! I'm not an evil genius! I'm just evil. You're the one with the harebrained schemes!"

"Excuse me, my schemes are not "harebrained!" They are methodical, diabolical, and capable of destroying all of life as we know it!"

"If they're so "diabolical" as you say, why do they always FAIL!?"

"I don't need that kind of attitude from you! Now, it is clear that we are all facing a common enemy in these troubling times. Not just you and I, but all of the villains of Townsville! This new enemy belongs to us all because he has done our job for us! And better! I suggest we hold an emergency "Villains Only" meeting at my observatory immediately to hash out a plan! Do you agree?"

"Yes, absolutely! I'll start rounding up the villains!"

"Great. And what should I be doing?"

"You...clean up your observatory. Make it presentable."

"Yes, yes! That is an excellent plan. I will commence so!" He hung up and looked around his kitchen. "But first I must have a word with my jingle writers. "Monkeyboy?" How demeaning!"

Back at Doofenshmirtz's evil lair, Lyla arrived. Immediately noticing that Perry had used a grappling hook to climb up the side of the building towards Doofenshmirtz's lair, she decided to instead go through the front door. She entered the elevator and took it all the way up to Doofenshmirtz's floor.

When she arrived, she slowly crept to his door and opened it ever so slightly. She was able to catch a glimpse of the action. She caught sight of the girls and Perry trapped in their respective glass tubes and Doofenshmirtz working on his invention. Lyla crept in and stayed hidden in the shadows around the room. Perry looked behind him and noticed Lyla trying to stay hidden, wit Lyla signaling him off so he didn't draw any attention to her.

"And...finished!" Doofenshmirtz shouted, turning back to the girls and Perry. "My Rebel-inator is complete! In a matter of moments, I will blast my brother with it, and he will transform into an obnoxious, defiant teenager! You know, metaphorically. T-This thing won't actually make him into a teenager. He'll just-He'll just have the mindset of a teenager. You know. No, if I wanted to change him into a teenager I would've used my De-Age-inator. I-It's different from my Age-Accelerator-inator because my De-Age-inator ages you backwards. My Age-Accelerator-inator ages you forward. I-It's a little confusing sometimes. I really should make a filing system for all my inators."

"Oh my god, will you shut up!" Buttercup shouted at the top of her lungs. "We don't care about your stupid -erators of whatever you call them! We don't care that-"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, girly! Let's get something straight here!" Doofenshmirtz hastily interrupted. "First of all, they're called -inators. Second of all, you're my prisoners. I don't think you should be talking back to me."

"And why not? If I had my powers I could so totally kick your butt!"

"Funny you should mention that. Oh Norm...! Could you come out here for a moment please?"

Norm emerged from the room which he hid himself in. He was holding a glass container with black liquid in it in one hand, and a funnel in the other hand. He walked towards the girls' glass container.

"Um, what is he doing?" Blossom asked.

"Oh Norm? Oh he's just setting something up for me."

"With a bottle of Chemical X?"

"Oh no no no no no. You've got it wrong. That is not Chemical X."

"It's not?"

"No, no it's not. You see, it occurred to me earlier that since you're what I would refer to as "superhumans," it's possible you might be immune to the effects of my Drain-inator. Therefore, it would be realistic to believe that your powers would return to you shortly. As such, the only way to make sure that doesn't happen is to permanently take away your abilities. And since Chemical X was what gave you your powers in the first place, it stands to reason that by reverse engineering the contents of the chemical, I can create my own Anti-Chemical X. I shall call it...the SUPER POWER REMOVE-INATOR!"

"How about just calling it "Antidote X?" Blossom suggested.

"That works too!"

What Doofenshmirtz was unaware of was that while he was ranting to the girls, Lyla had sneaked over to his inator and was busy dismantling it.

"See, here's how it's going to work. I'm going to turn on my -inator, and if any of you - and that includes you, Perry the Platypus - try anything funny, I'll instruct Norm to carve a tiny hole in your glass tube, place the funnel inside, and start pouring the liquid into the tube. With no way out, you will succumb to its effect and you will lose your powers! But not only that, I also instructed Norm to add a secret ingredient to the concoction. Nothing serious, but it makes it so you'd automatically become immune to the effects of Chemical X...which means you'd never be able to get your superpowers back again!"

All three girls gasped loudly. Meanwhile, Lyla, having finished dismantling the -inator but leaving it structurally intact so it wouldn't look suspicious, moved back to the shadows. "You fiend!" Buttercup shouted.

"That's mean!" Bubbles added.

"And...ingenious..." Blossom said, sounding both terrified and impressed. Her sisters did not take kindly. "What? What'd I say?"

"Enough chit chat! The time has arrived for me to unleash my -inator on my brother, and begin my plan to take over the entire Tri-State Area!" He was busy laughing and didn't even notice Lyla step out of the shadows. She launched something in Norm's direction - a computer chip that unleashed a small electric shock that temporarily fried his circuits and caused Norm to fall to the ground, still holding the Antidote X in his hand. "What? What the-" it was then Doofenshmirtz turned around and saw Lyla standing there with her hands on her hips and a smirk on her face.

"Hiya, Dr. D! Miss me?" She said smirking. Doofenshmirtz raised an eyebrow.

"Uh, that depends. Who are you again?" He asked sincerely. Lyla sighed.

"I'm Lyla. Lyla Lolliberry from the Canadian Organization Without a Cool Acronym. Remember? We took down Professor Bannister together. The three of us?"

He still didn't get the hint.

"The guy from Greenland?"

Suddenly, it hit him. "Oh yeah, that guy! That guy really got me P.O.'d?"

"Why? What did he do?" Bubbles asked. "Steal your term paper and put his name on it?"

"What? That doesn't make any sense. No, he misrepresented his country to the L.O.V.E.M.U.F.F.I.N. organization. With us, that's punishable by expulsion, public humiliation, or exile, depending on which country we're in when the rule is broken. Anyway, it doesn't matter. I'm still standing-" He ran to the vile and picked it up off the ground. "And I can still pour this entire liquid concoction into the girls' tube, permanently draining them of their powers!"

As Doofenshmirtz continued ranting, Perry stepped to the back end of the tube, and then he ran forward at full force, bumping into the glass. He fell to the ground hard, but the force was so strong it caused the glass tube to move slightly. He repeated this several more times, and it got to a point where one final blow was all it needed to tip forward and shatter. The girls took notice of them and followed suit, but even without their powers, the combined strength of all three was enough to tip over the tube in one take. The glass shattered, and the girls were freed.

"Ahhhh!" Doofenshmirtz shouted. He attempted to turn and run, but Lyla was standing there and she gave him a blow to the kisser. The attack resulted in him getting knocked back and dropping the vial of Antidote X, spilling it all over the floor. The girls made sure they didn't step in it. "Norm, a little help here!" He shouted before Perry proceeded to deliver a blow.

"Right away, sir!" Norm said as he stood up, the temporary electrical currents having worn off and restored his circuitry. He walked slowly to where Doofenshmirtz was, held out his hand, and let out a strong electrical current that shocked the girls right where they were, and they fell to the ground unconscious. Perry and Lyla were knocked back several feet but retained consciousness. Doofenshmirtz stood up and dusted himself off. "Thanks, Norm. That was a close one."

"What do we do now, sir?" Norm asked.

"Hmm, good question, Norm. I mean it's probably gonna take a while to make another batch of that Power-Removal-inator or whatever it was called."

Meanwhile, up above the building, in a not-so-cleverly disguised helicopter, Mojo Jojo, HIM, and nearly every supervillain in Townsville looked downward as they prepared their assault. "Target is in sight." Mojo said menacingly. "Ace, prepare to launch the grenades."

"OK, I know I'm supposed to be evil and all, but I don't feel entirely comfortable blowing up an entire building like this!" Ace, the leader of the Gang Green Gang, protested at the helm of the wheel.

"We have told you, Ace, we are not blowing up the entire building. Our plan merely calls for an explosion large enough to produce a hole that can fit both HIM and I as he grapple down and snatch the Powerpuff Girls from the clutches of the evil mastermind who diminished their powers."

"I can't wait to see the look on their face when we steal the Powerpuff Girls right from under their nose! Now let's go get 'em!" Lock n' load!"

Ace pressed a button on his control panel and two small grenades dropped from the helicopter. They landed on the roof and blew a hole wide open. Doofenshmirtz and Norm were knocked back as were the unconscious girls. Once the hole was clear, Mojo and Him - strapped to harnesses - slid down their ropes into the building. They ran over to the unconscious girls and tried to grab them, but they were stopped by Norm, who managed to pick himself up in time and intercept them.

"I'm sorry, but that doesn't belong to you." Norm said to them.

"Unhand us, robotic fiend!" Mojo shouted. "I am Mojo Jojo, evil monkey genius! Sworn enemy of the Powerpuff Girls!"

"I'm sorry, but I cannot allow you claim possession of them. They belong to my father now."

"I am not your father!" Doofenshmirtz shouted as he rushed over to Norm. "And you two have a lot of nerve just barging into my home and trying to steal my things! Well, I've got ways of teaching people like you a lesson in messing with my stuff!"

Up in the helicopter, Snake immediately noticed that Mojo and HIM were in trouble. "They've been captured. Drop the secret weapon!"

"Dropping!"

The "secret weapon" was another grenade, but this one was no ordinary grenade. This grenade contained a special gas that would fill the room and temporarily allow Mojo and HIM to escape. Ace dropped it from the helicopter and it hit the building.

A pink gas filled the room and Doofenshmirtz started coughing. Norm's sensory system was temporarily halted, giving Mojo and HIM a chance to untie themselves and escape. Unfortunately for them, when Norm's systems failed, he collapsed forward, nearly crushing Mojo and HIM in the process. The result saw a part of their bodies trapped underneath Norm's mechanical build, unable to escape. Unfortunately, Doofenshmirtz was also trapped in the gas, and the gas had a second effect that teleported them back to Mojo's lair. The other villains had already flown back to the lair in the helicopter.

Now Perry and Lyla were the only ones left. An empty lair was all that remained of their minor tussle. Neither could comprehend what had just transpired, but both had a similar feeling that a sense of urgency was required.

"What the heck was that about?" Lyla said as she stood up and proceeded to help Perry up. Perry could only shrug. "Well whatever that was, they're all gone now. I'm telling you, these cases just keep getting weirder and weirder." Perry nodded in agreement. "Well, at least you're OK."

Perry's watch beeped. It was Monogram on the other side. "Agent P, I need you and Agent Lolliberry to report back here immediately. We have some things that might be of importance to your case." Perry nodded and turned back to Lyla.

"Well we're not gonna solve this just standing here. Let's go!" And they took off back to O.W.C.A. Headquarters, where the next chapter of this crazy adventure was about to unfold.

End of Chapter 4!

Sorry it took so long. I'm SUPER busy lately. As for my "New Adventures" fanfic, I'm not sure when the next update is gonna come out. I haven't even started yet, admittedly. I've been too busy with this fic and college. So wish me luck, and read & review!
