****Author's Note****

Me: How was your first fight?

Daniel: Great! We won without trying too hard.

Danielle: You mentioned in the last chapter about someone returning. Who is it?

Kaoru: It's probably Him.

Me: Kaoru! Don't spoil the plot!

Momoko: Why are you bringing him in so early?

Me: I don't own Powerpuff Girls Z, just the plot and OC's of this fanfic. Please review! Flames will be reported and used to light the fireplace.

Wait, Come Again?

In the darkness of space, a large group of lights float past the Asteroid Belt. It had only been three months since it had been cast from Earth. In the middle of the white lights, there was a cluster of black lights, suppressed by the white ones. A voice came from within the cluster.

"Ah, this looks like a suitable host for now." While the white lights suppressed the black ones, it couldn't keep the black lights from inhabiting the asteroid that fell out of orbit.

Meanwhile, back on Earth...

The Powerpuff Girls Z and their new members touched down back in the lab. As soon as the twins landed, all eyes turned to them.

"All right, who are you two really? I doubt that you're the Tinaxo twins," questioned Buttercup "Besides, you are wearing the Rowdyruff Boys' uniform."

"Trust us, we really are Daniel and Danielle," the yellow Powerpuff and Rowdyruff responded, reaching for the compact on Bullet's power belt and Bomber's watch. In a large flash of light, the two changed back into the Tinaxo twins. "See what we mean?" Professors Tinaxo and Utonium nodded in agreement.

"Professor, you knew about this?" asked Blossom. She and the girls reached for their compacts to change back, since it was obvious that the new family in town knew already. As she changed back to Momoko, Professor Utonium decided to answer her question.

"Yes, we did, girls. After we beat Him, Professor Tinaxo wanted to study Chemical Z at his home lab. He saw the news on television and wanted to see if there were any properties of the chemical that can give it a practical use. I told him about the properties we already knew as a warning and sent him a batch of white Chemical Z."

"Indeed, Professor Utonium. I found the hard way that Chemical Z can permanently change the genetic structure of a life form. The genetic signature of the life form can have one of two main change types: permanent and temporary. The permanent change splits into two other groups: triggered reversible and irreversible. I also found that any in contact with white Z-rays that gain powers have the chance of getting a weapon based on a nearby item. As for practical use, I doubt I may be able to find an effective use for it. My children will explain what happened."

Daniel started to explain. "You see, my sister and I often help out our parents when they're working in the lab in our basement. When the chemical was put on a heater, it exploded twice, each time releasing a white light ray."

It was Danielle's turn next. "The first one hit my brother when he picked up some ball bearings from the old pinball machine we had a few years ago. The next one hit me when I held up a stack of papers to shield myself. As such, I became Bullet, he became Bomber."

"I still don't trust you." called Kaoru, who just changed back.

"Why do you have that helmet and the sunglasses? How come we didn't get something like that?" asked Momoko. Miyako decided to just sit back and listen as the two went back and forth, nodding her head in agreement once in a while.

"Ken! Professors! We've got a major emergency! Check the monitors!" called Peach, a robot dog belonging to Ken Utonium.

"I guess Scooby-Doo isn't the only talking dog, brother." Everyone looked to check the monitors for what Peach was panicked about. On the screen was a meteor about the size of a car heading straight for the laboratory. The lab was evacuated as the meteor crashed on the lawn. The meteor broke open, leading to an explosion of white and black light. The lights shot into the air like fireworks and exploded, scattering black and white lights to the wind.

"Oh no, not again. This can't be happening." Professor Utonium warned. "It is the same incident that gave the girls their powers. I fear that there may be a whole new generation of monsters ahead. You and the twins have to work together to protect this city, no matter how much you don't like each other."

"Professor Utonium's got a point. I read a lot of Marvel Comics and let me tell you, no matter how much the superheroes don't get along, they always team up to fight a common enemy." Daniel added

"Agreed." Danielle said through mouthfuls of her candy.

"Danielle, where did you get that? You didn't steal that out of my bag, did you?" Momoko questioned

"Um, uh, 'when you need a moment, chew it over with Twix.'" She answered, before taking another bite and finally stating "I always keep sweets in my bag in case I'm hungry. I brought them from America."

"Then let me have a taste! I've never had American candy before!"

"No way, this is my last one! Besides, this is hardly the time to argue about candy is it?"

"Objection! Give me that!" Momoko charged at Danielle, trying to grab the candy bar out of her hand.

"Wait; if you forget about this, I'll talk my brother into lending you his superhero comics!"

"Really?" Momoko turned to Daniel.

"Sure, why not?" Daniel responded.

"Deal!" Momoko then let Danielle finish her Twix.

Meanwhile, in an old house in the middle of town...

Mojo Jojo was yelling profanities at a doll shaped like a cross between a human and a lobster. "You promised Mojo more power! I should just burn you in the heater!" Unbeknownst to the monkey, a very large black Z-ray was on a direct course to collide with the house. The black light entered through the window and the doll that started to burn in the heater. The doll grew to a large size and spoke:

"Ah, good, a fire. Mojo, this is a fine welcome back gift."

"Him! When did you get back, mojo? I thought the Powerpuff Girls Z beat you!" Mojo yelled, shocked to see that the doll turned into Him after three months.

"I hitched a ride back and here I am! Now it's time to finish what I've started: Destroying the Powerpuff Girls Z!"

The next day at school...

"Wassup, girls? Momoko, I brought some of my comics to look at. Most of them are Spider-Man and Captain America, though. Only in English, sorry." Daniel greeted Momoko, Miyako, and Kaoru as they walked into the classroom. Danielle was standing by her brother with a bag.

"I know it's not much, but it's to say thanks for showing us around yesterday." She gave the bag to Kaoru, who pulled out a fashion magazine for Miyako, a soccer ball for Kaoru, and some American sweets for Momoko. At the bottom of the bag, Kaoru pulled out five key chains resembling the PPGZ, including the two new rookies.

"What's this?"

"Oh, I made those. Just consider it a symbol of our new friendship." Daniel responded.

"Thanks a lot!" the girls responded. Himeko was looking over her shoulder, scowling. Why is he talking to them? He should be talking to me! I'm the most popular here! She thought. She walked over to Daniel's desk.

"All right, you girls scram. I want to talk to the twins." As the girls backed off for a second, Himeko began to scold the twins. "I gave you a break since it's your first day. Now, you should know that I'm the most popular here, so stay out of my way! I have more money than you anyway." As she went on and on about how she should be respected by them and how much better they are, the twins gave each other a strange look and waited for the teacher to walk in.

"Himeko, please take your seat." Time passed into free period, when Himeko stood back up to talk to the twins.

"And another thing!" Himeko started, but the twins were looking through the comics Daniel brought.

"Can you give us the short version? We're kind of busy here." Danielle said calmly. All of a sudden, their compacts went off. "Whoops gotta go. Later! By the way, you ought to get that brain of yours looked at!"

At the rooftop, Momoko opened her compact and had Professors Utonium and Tinaxo with only one thing to say.

"It's very dire news. It's Him." Blossom closed the compact with a solemn look in her eyes. The rest of the girls stared at the compact with nothing but dread on their mind, freezing them in place. Bullet and Bomber blasted off in search of their enemy. It didn't take long, though. They found a red lobster full of dark aura on a rooftop.

"What's up, doc?" Bomber said in his best Bugs Bunny impression. His sister and the lobster-thing weren't amused.

"Seriously, is this the time for that?" the lobster spoke.

"We'll be asking the questions, freak. Who are you?" Bullet retorted

"Him."

"No, not my brother. You!"

"I'm Him"

"And I'm about to boil you and stick you on a silver platter with parsley and a side of butter if you don't tell us who you are!"

"I told you. My name is Him, the most evil being there is. You must be the rookie members I heard about. I'll destroy you first!"

"You try it! From we're standing, you're just a main course for dinner!" Bullet took out two sheets of paper and turned them into a pair of swords, charged with yellow energy.

"Hold up, sis. My goggles did a scan on him. You might need this." Bomber said as he smashed a marble on both of her swords, giving them a snow coat. Him turned into a tornado and charged at the twins.

Twin Cut Tornado!

Bullet accelerated to Mach 2 and spun, mimicking Him. When she stopped, her swords were missing.

"Oh, you have some toys. Nice, but I don't think you can use them." Him was holding Bullet's swords, which started to glow and transform. When the light faded, the swords have turned into gauntlets. In one gauntlet, the center grew a large medieval mace, and in the other, a blade extended from the forearm, resembling a katar.

"My paper's never done that before!" Bullet yelled in shock as Him charged toward her. Both weapons on Him's gauntlets struck the shocked girl, sending her crashing into a building before her brother caught her.

"For hurting my sister, you shall pay!" Bomber yelled as he threw several explosive marbles at Him. All of them hit, but none of them hurt. Bomber then started throwing ice marbles at Him, who dodged the onslaught and charged for another attack.

Freezing Virus!

When Him made contact with Bomber, he detonated an ice marble on his chest, which froze both Him and Bomber. The gauntlets broke off on impact and landed at Bullet's feet as two sheets of paper.

"B-B-B-Brother! No!" Bullet picked up the paper at her feet and transformed it into the gauntlets just as Him had done and formed a giant hammer similar to Buttercup's, but with a more solid yellow color scheme. She angrily smashed the ice prison holding Him and her brother, freeing both. When she did, Bomber was cold, but fine nevertheless. Him, on the other hand, was starting to weaken. "It's time to show you a team combo move!" Bullet shouted as Bomber threw two marbles into the air. Bullet took her swords and cut each of the marbles, making the swords double in size and glow with golden energy. Bullet passed one of the swords to Bomber. Holding their swords with two hands, they raised them to the air as lightning struck the swords.

Rock!

Paper!

Scissors!

Shoot!

Both brought their swords down and cut the air, shooting a golden beam from both swords that intersected and combined, blasting Him square in the chest.

"Blast you! I'll be stronger next time!" Him vanished into thin air as the Powerpuff Girls Z flew in.

"What happened?" Buttercup asked

"I sent Him home with his tail between his legs!" Bullet bragged, which gave her strange looks from the girls.

"One problem, sis. When my goggles scanned him, the power level was very off." Bomber said, confusing everyone. "When we fought, his power level was measured at 100 out of a power potential of 2000."

"He was already weak?" asked Blossom

"Yes. It's kind of like when my sister got off the plane and she wanted to do nothing but sleep. This means that the next time we meet, he'll be at full power."

"Oh no! We're going to be in real trouble!" Bullet called.

"Yeah! We've got only five minutes to get back to school!" Miyako yelled

"Everyone grab my hand. I'll get us back in time." Bullet put her hands out behind her, which everyone grabbed. She then sped to Mach 5 and stopped right on the school's roof before dropping her passengers. As everyone changed back, they all rushed back to their classroom with about 3 minutes to spare.

Momoko: Weird way to end the chapter.

Me: I couldn't think of anything else.

Miyako: What about Himeko?

Me: I have a scene for her later.

Daniel & Danielle: Why was Him so weak? The girls said that Him almost beat them!

Me: If you were in space for three months, you wouldn't be happy, either. Besides, when you play video games, you don't really fight the boss until the final level. Next time, Powerpuff Z will have to deal with modeling and an angry model. Please review!
